Abstracts: The hydro-energetic potential of the Kalako site on the Tinkisso River in Dabola prefecture, evaluated by the spot measurement method during the month of March (dry season) is 5085.50 kW, or about 5.1 MW. This value is in the range of mini hydroelectric plants. The values of the evaluation parameters of this hydroenergetic potential at this time are: the depth of the watercourse (0.58 m), the flow velocity (1.46 m/s), the flow rate (14.4 m3/s), the drop height (60 m) and the efficiency of the electromechanical equipment (60%). Such a regular assessment of the hydroelectric potential of all waterfalls available in the country would provide a reliable database on the existing hydroelectric potential, hence the objective of this research.

Abstracts: Pharmacognostic investigation was carried out on dried powdered Leaves of traditional medicinal plant Microdesmis puberula used for stopping excessive bleeding of women during menstruation in Eastern Province of Sierra Leone. The powdered stem bark was found to be dark green in colour with a characteristic grass flavour and bitter taste indicating that the plant organ investigated contained alkaloids. Some constituents gave fluorescence colour changes with the reagents 1M NaOH(aq.), 1M NaOH(alc.), Ammonia, 50% HCl, and 50% HNO3. Fluorescence analysis has been reported to be one of the parameters for pharmacognostic evaluation of crude drugs in traditional medicinal plants. The results phytochemical screening indicates that carbohydrates, alkaloid, flavonoids, tannins, proteins, sterols/terpenes and saponins are present in the ethanol, methanol and aqueous extracts. The petroleum ether and acetone extracts gave the least concentration of the phytoconstituents investigated. The detection of the above secondary plant metabolites support the use of the plant in traditional medicine Elemental analysis on the dried powdered Leaves of Microdesmis puberula was performed with a Niton XL3t GOLD + Hand held X-ray Fluorescence (Thermo Fisher). The Niton Hand held XRF Instrument uses Ag-anode X-ray tube with a voltage of 50kV and equipped with a Si-drift detector (SDD). Accurate energy and efficiency calibrations of the spectrometer were made using a certified reference material – SRM 1573a – Tomato Leaves supplied by the International Energy Agency (IAEA), Vienna, Austria. The spectrum acquisition time was 480sec for the sample and the dead time was around 50%. A total of fifteen elements (K, Ca, Mg, Al, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Zr, Mo, and Sc) were investigated using EDXRF. The results indicated that plant organ contained large amounts of nutrients and were rich in K (31614 ± 178.00 ppm), Ca (10872 ± 147.00 ppm), Mg (8122 ± 1434.00ppm), Al (5727 ± 258.00 ppm) and Fe (2670.7± 25.46ppm). The other elements present in smaller quantities were Ti (875 ± 21.00 ppm), Zr (129.36 ±1.29 ppm), Mn (126.34 ± 13.31 ppm), Zn (119.53 ± .33ppm), Sr (68.88 ± 0.94ppm), Sc (68.00 ±12.00ppm), Rb (45.01 ± 1.00 ppm), Cu (23.57 ± 4.46ppm), V (11.99 ± 7.50 ppm) and Mo (4.46 ± 0.81ppm). The presence of potassium, iron, calcium and magnesium in the dried powdered Leaves of Microdesmis puberula plant also support the use of the plant in controlling excessive blood loss during menstruation in women.

Abstracts: The study investigated the relevance of Environmental Adult Education in the prevention of habitat loss in selected Local Government Areas in Ogoni of Rivers State. The fact of deforestation, agricultural practice, industrialization and oil spill leading to habitat loss in Rivers State has raise questions of great concern to stakeholders, particularly communities who have suffered species extinction. The purpose of this study is to find out the human activities that lead to habitat loss, examine the adverse effects of habitat loss on the environment and man; and determine ways through which environmental adult education can minimize the occurrence of habitat loss. Hence, three objectives and one null hypothesis were used for this study. Survey research design was adopted, questionnaires were used for data collection. Responses to the questionnaire were analyzed using mean and grand mean for all the research questions and Z-test for the hypothesis. The result of this study revealed that the Ogoni people are instrumental to the destruction of their God-given environment and the people that are involved in the act of deforestation, bush burning, oil spills, carrying out bunkering business, and practicing artisanal refining of crude oil which degrades the environment are mostly adults. It was recommended that there should massive environmental adult education to curb habitat loss and further environmental degradation.

Abstracts: The ecology, behavior and breeding biology of most of the endemic bird species of Ethiopia have not been fully documented. Yellow Fronted Parrot is one of endemic birds of Ethiopia which is poorly known thus information an observer discovers about it will be new to science. The study was carried out from August 2017 to March 2018 in Zegie peninsula forest to identify Activity Pattern, Flocking Behavior and Habitat Preference of Yellow Fronted Parrot (Poicephalus flavifrons). A systematic random sampling technique, with the variable circular plot method was used. The study plots were selected according to the area in which Yellow-Fronted parrots were observed during the preliminary survey and on the basis of vegetation type. Visits were made two months (August and September) in wet season and two months (January and February) in dry season with ten days in each month and on each visit the area was surveyed from dawn to dusk (6:oo am to 6:00 pm) 50 minutes on each plot. Yellow Fronted parrots were selected randomly during the surveys of the study area and their behavior was observed by using binocular. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), mean, descriptive statistics and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to analyze the collected data. The time spent by the species on feeding, courtship and resting behaviors was significantly different. However, the time spent by the species on scanning, preening and moving behaviors was not significantly different in the study area regarding to season. Except resting daily time budget of the activity pattern of Yellow Fronted Parrots has no significant difference according to hours of day. In the wet season flocks that were composed of 1 to 6 individual parrots were observed. In the dry season flocks that were composed of 1 to 9 individual parrots were observed. Tree species particularly Juniperus procera, Ficus vasta, Cordia Africana, Celitis africana, Podocarpus falcatus, Prunus africana, Albizia gummifera and Croton macrostachyus were selected by Yellow-Fronted Parrot. In general activity pattern, flocking behavior and habitat preference of Yellow Fronted Parrots showed diference regarding to season and hours of the day. In the study area plantation of indigenous trees like J. procera, F. vasta, C. Africana, C. africana, P. falcatus, P. africana, A. gummifera and C. macrostachyus which are important for Yellow Fronted Parrots has to be strengthened.

Abstracts: Ayurveda is perceived as one of the most ancient and well documented system of medicine. Its holistic approach whether for healthy individual or for diseased ones remains unparalleled. The main aim of Ayurveda is prevention of disease and promotion of health for which there are many herbs for daily use. As per Ayurveda the tissues of the body undergo a continuous process, process of decay created by the interaction of Agni (enzymes). If the process is allowed to continue, uninterrupted, the aging comes in early. In young age decay is slow and much less but in old age, normally the destructive activities are enhanced leading to disease and ultimately death. If this decay of cells is somehow slowed down the person leads a better quality of life, free from diseases. To achieve this, individual should adapt to a good quality of diet and regime along with which certain drugs can be taken which will further decrease the decay and enhance the quality of Sapta dhatu(tissues). This can be achieved by including Rasayana as a part daily regimen. Rasayana therapy can be administered to individual either through selected diet, drugs or regime. Apart from healthy individuals, even patients who are suffering from disease can be benefited from this therapy. Here an attempt has been made to throw some light on the role of Rasayana therapy in daily life for healthy living.

Abstracts: This study explored the effect of Pictures on gender in teaching reading fluency skills to primary three pupils in Sokoto metropolis, in Sokoto state (Nigeria). The purpose is to investigate whether or not Pictures in teaching reading fluency skills, influence the achievement level of the participants between genders in the study area. The study sampled 178 pupils randomly from eight primary schools. Mixed design research method was employed in the study, where aptitude of the experimental group was measured before and after the treatment. One research question was asked and one hypothesis generated which was statistically tested at 0.05 levels of significant. T-test was employed to test the hypothesis. Guided reading passages with Pictures were used to teach the experimental group. The study found that no significant difference exists between genders in the experimental group on this basis, it was concluded that Pictures are gender friendly in teaching reading fluency skills to primary three pupils, particularly in the study area. The study recommends that primary school teachers should be encouraged to use Pictures in their teaching, thus ICT should as a matter of urgency be embedded in teacher training curriculum, and most importantly, the teacher training institutions, should have a Reading Instruction Research Centre to cater for the needs of the reading instructors as well as the needs of the pupils in terms of materials development.
