“…The implication of this is that even in the face of increased cost of labour, farmers will not stop growing rice and are unlikely to rely only on family labour for rice production since it is hardly sufficient. Many studies (Adepoju, 2000;Appleton et al, 2011;Awole, 2003;and Chinaka, 2015) found that when labour cost is high, it will raise the cost of production, make farmers have low profit, increase prices of products, reduce size of farmland cultivated and reduce the number of labourers employed. This ultimately could lead to low output, inflation and food insecurity.…”

“…The implication of this result is that bad roads affect every aspect of rice productionfrom the point of production (farm) to the point of purchase for consumption (market). According to Chinaka (2015) poverty will continue to be high in rural communities DOI: 10.31695/IJASRE.2019.33413 because of lack of infrastructure. For example, bad road implies that buyers of farm produce cannot go to the villages and farmers cannot carry their produce to the market.…”

The main focus of this research was to analysis the socioeconomic variables influencing rice production in the Calabar Agricultural Zone of Cross River State. The study specifically examined the influence of farmers sex, age, marital status, level of education, farm size, family size, income, labor and road access to credit, etc on rice production in the area. The study adopted survey design, data were obtained with the aid of a validated structured questionnaire and analyzed using mean, frequency count percentages and probit regression model. A total of 110 respondents were randomly selected from 332 population of registered rice farmers in the area. The results of the analysis revealed that rice production in the area was defined by the cost of labor, farmers access to credit facilities, income, level of education, farm and family size and marital status etc. It was, therefore, recommended among others that government should provide credit facilities to the farmers and improve adult literacy programs in rural farming communities.

Introduction: Pap smear has been most widely used screening method for cervical cytology since last 50 years. Despite of it reducing morbidity and mortality from cervical cancer by detecting precancerous lesions, false negativity rate of Pap smear is very high. Manual liquid based cytology has been developed as an alternative to conventional Pap smear to overcome its drawbacks. Main advantages of MLBC over CPS are increased percentage of representative cells, better presentation on slide, increased detection of abnormal or dysplastic cell and overall reduced number of unsatisfactory smears. Aim: to compare the number satisfactory smears and sensitivity in detecting intraepithelial abnormalities with both the techniques. Materials and Methods: this was a prospective study done on 200 symptomatic women. The sample of each patient was collected into a preservative vial by a cytobrush for MLBC and with an Ayre spatula directly on a slide for CPS. The results were interpreted according to the Bethesda system. The cases of intraepithelial lesions on cytology were followed and confirmed by histopathology. Results: MLBC showed slightly higher number of satisfactory smears ie. 175 (87.5 %) as compared to CPS (171 ie. 85.5%). The sensitivity of MLBC was much higher ie. 81.8% as compared to CPS which was 36.3%. The p-value was calculated as 0.15 which was not significant. Conclusion: MLBS was better than CPS in specimen adequacy and lesser obscurance of morphology of representative cells. The number of intraepithelial lesions detected on MLBC was higher but its superiority over CPS is still debatable.
