“…Finding on meal skipping is similar to that of [10] among university students in Lagos State Nigeria and higher than the findings of Lano-Maduagu [11] which was 52%. It is however lower than 92% found among students in Sagamu Nigeria [29]. The current study is similar to Dahal et al 2022 because there was no gender difference in meal skipping.…”

Saudi Arabia, a large country in terms of population size and geographical area, administrative areas, and governorates, has metropolises, cities (large, medium-sized, and small), towns, and rural neighborhoods. COVID-19 epidemic of the millennium spread all over the country with differentials regarding infection (rates, percentages, and affected areas), besides day-to-day increases. This analysis of data compiled from COVID-19 daily reports published by the Saudi Ministry of Health considers administrative areas and localities (neighborhoods) to demonstrate the distribution of spread, increase of infection, and proportion of population infected over a period between 21 March 2020 and 4 May 2023. Many of the infected cases were reported in three major administrative areas, i.e., Riyadh, Makkah, and the Eastern Region; other regions had a smaller number of infected cases. On the other hand, some locations, especially medium-sized upcoming towns, and neighborhoods, had a greater number of persons seriously affected at a rapid pace with seasonal differentials. In addition, a varying number of infections and a wider geographical spread were observed. Such details of COVID-19 infection would be useful not only to develop combating strategies but also to create epidemic and emergency preparedness..

Interlocking Stabilized Soil Blocks (ISSB) is a locally available indigenous building material that has been promoted by united nations, ISSB promoters and built environment experts as a sustainable construction material. Research efforts have shown that ISSB offers reasonable benefits over conventional blocks. Nowadays, notable ISSB promoters, stakeholders, and residential estates built using ISSB techniques are rapidly appearing in SWN and surrounding areas. This study aimed at examining the demographic characteristics of ISSB buildings of selected estates in Southwest Nigeria (SWN) towards promoting awareness on ISSB as an alternative construction material in Nigeria. Datas were collected from interviews, observations, and documentaries from ISSB promoters and users of ISSB buildings in SWN. The study found that the following estates in SWN were built with ISSB: Obasanjo Estate, Ekiti with a total of One hundred and fourty eight(148) completed buildings; Redemption city, Mowe Ogun state with a total of forty eight (48) completed buildings; Amen estate, Lagos state with a total of three hundred (300) completed housing units. Based on the demographics of ISSB buildings shown in this study, the population’s preference for ISSB as the preferred building material is relatively low when compared with Sandcrete blocks. However, ISSB is becoming increasingly attractive as a sustainable construction material in Southwest Nigeria. In conclusion, the study suggested that with an increasing awareness about ISSB, improving technologies, increasing the number of promoters of ISSB, and government support, ISSB will quickly become the affordable building material of choice in Nigeria.

BackgroundInfertility is a global health issue that affects millions of couples worldwide, In Nigeria, the prevalence of infertility is particularly high underscoring the need for a better understanding of the factors contributing to male infertility at which Seminal Fluid Analysis (SFA) is the most important characteristics. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of abnormal seminal fluid and its associated factors among patients attending fertility clinics in Osogbo, Nigeria.Methods and FindingsA descriptive cross-sectional study design was used among male patients attending fertility centers in Osogbo, Osun State. Fisher’s formula (n=z2pq/d2) was used to determine the sample size. 305 respondents were selected using multistage sampling technique. Pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents. Patients who consented to the study were also made to undergo seminal fluid analysis. The results were analysed using IBM Statistical Product for Service Solution (SPSS) version 27. Descriptive statistics was used for all variables. Bivariate and multivariate analysis were done at p<0.05 as level of significance. Majority of the respondents, 257 (84.3%) had at least one abnormality of Seminal fluid. Multiple regression analysis revealed that respondents who were habitual drunkard were about five times more likely to have at least one abnormality in their seminal fluid (OR: 4.990, p: 0.004, C.I.: 1.688-14.749) and smokers were three times more likely to have at least one abnormality in their seminal fluid (p=0.005, OR=3.300 and C.I=1.396-4.273). Also, respondents with history of sexually transmitted infection were 3.5 times more likely to have at least one abnormality in their seminal fluid (p=0.039, OR=3.595 and C.I=1.072-14.146).ConclusionsThe study observed high prevalence of abnormal seminal fluid which was significantly associated with lifestyle habits such as smoking, alcohol as well as previous history of sexually transmitted infection. The study recommended that advocacy program for healthy lifestyle, early screening and public health education will further reduce the burden of abnormal seminal fluid and by implication, infertility among couples.
