Such interventions help clients with goals, essential life factors, their sense of purpose or belonging, and their belief that life is worth living. Specifically, this research explored how mental health professionals addressing the topic of life purpose with those seeking treatment may affect a therapeutic relationship. Methods: Six individual interviews were conducted with mental health clinicians to investigate patterns involving a clients’ life purpose and therapy. Clinicians discussed in the interviews how a client's life purpose, transcendence of a higher power, external factors and interpretation of their sense of happiness affect the therapeutic relationship and mental health outcomes. Results: The study found that when the therapist consistently examined those topics with the client, it affected the therapeutic relationship by focusing the treatment plan, creating a smoother therapy process, providing motivation for therapy, and more effective treatment. Conclusion: The focused approach on the importance of a client's life purpose in the scope of the therapeutic relationship, provided psychological fulfillment to the client and gave the therapist a better understanding of the client.","PeriodicalId":14144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science Research Archive","volume":"64 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140419482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the often the state of many underdeveloped nations such as Nigeria. Such environments encourage the spread of communicable diseases. This study assess the pattern, trend, and at-risk population of Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica), implicated in intestinal Amoebiasis in South-South Nigeria. Method: This retrospective study was conducted using hospital data obtained from the laboratory department of a general hospital clinic in Warri and covered a period of four years from January 2015 - December 2018. The record of 4,169 laboratory results of stool samples examined by direct smear and concentration technique, were recovered from a designed computer database. Trend of infection over the period as well as variations in distribution patterns between sex, age and seasons were determined using appropriate statistical tools. Results: Out of the 4,169 stool samples 365 (8.8%) had E. histolytica with decreasing trend of infection from 2015 – 2018 as 135 of 1210 (11%); 118 of 1114 (10.6%); 57 of 792 (7.2%); 55 of 1053 (5.2%) respectively. Prevalence of infections was higher in females, 57.5% (95CI%, 51.7-59.7, n= 210) than males (n=155, 42.5%, 95%CI, 40.3-48.6). The prevalence of infections was highest among Age brackets 1-5years, 6-15 years and 35+ years; but lowest in the 26-35 years with peak season of infections at first and last quarters of each year. Conclusions: Children are more vulnerable to E. histolytica infestation and the dry seasons of the year place them at risk. This information underscores the need for local surveillance to evaluate the effectiveness of control and preventive health measures with a view of reducing the prevalence and morbidity of parasitic infections in our locality.","PeriodicalId":14144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science Research Archive","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140418712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the forests, the study identified the bird species composition, total number of all birds, and 11 species as indicators of degradation, fragmentation, and aridization. In grasslands, the total number of all birds and seven species indicate degradation of the mountain steppes and meadows due to overgrazing and uncontrolled mowing. In arid lands, the change of bird species composition and total number of all birds indicate degradation of semi-deserts, scrublands, and juniper woodlands due to their transformation into orchards, while six species indicate degradation of these habitats due to overgrazing. In rivers and streams, four species indicate fragmentation of the rivers. In wetlands, at least seven species indicate drainage of the wetlands, and at least one indicates wetlands’ pollution. Also, the study identified seven species, which indicate the influence of climate change on birds’ distribution at the Eurasian scale. There is still a need for additional study of the indicators of wetlands and lakes, and influence of climate change. A need for improvement of the policy and institutional framework is important as well.","PeriodicalId":14144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science Research Archive","volume":"53 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140420366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It remains a major health problem in Saudi Arabia. Despite having sunny weather most of the year, exposure to sunlight is inadequate due to traditional clothing style that covers almost the whole body, indoor activities especially among elderly. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased risk of various health problems including falls, Factures, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, dementia, depression, and cancer Several studies have investigated the prevalence of hypovitaminosis-D and various associated factors among elderly in kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent among elderly population in Saudi Arabia and it remains a vital heath problem. Educational interventions are needed to increase awareness about the importance of vitamin D and to promote healthy life style habits that would be effective as preventive measures for vitamin D deficiency in elderly. Integration of vitamin D testing in the primary health care centers and regular monitoring of serum levels would be helpful in developing supplementation programs that would in turn result in overall reduction of this health problem.","PeriodicalId":14144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science Research Archive","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140421557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specific objectives were to examine the housing and living conditions of oil palm processors in the study area, study the extent of poverty among oil palm processors in the study area, and determine the factors influencing the welfare of oil palm processors in the study area. Primary data were collected from 160 oil palm processors through purposive and random sampling techniques. Descriptive statistics, FGT measure of poverty, and Tobit regression model were used as analytical tools. The study revealed that about 76.9 percent of the processors were female. Majority (56.875 percent) of the processing households have accommodation of their own. The results of the FGT show that about 93 percent of the respondents were poor with a poverty incidence (P0) of 0.93125, poverty depth (P1) of 0.787129 and a poverty severity (P2) of 0.695926. The Tobit regression model reveal that household size and processing method used contributes positively to the likelihood of being poor and both are significant at 5%. While access to credit, years of processing experience and monthly income contributes negatively to the likelihood of being poor which are all significant at 5%. This study recommends that policies which will reduce household size such as fertility control measures should be the focus upon. Also policy should focus more on providing credit facilities through cooperative societies in other to help them improve their welfare status.","PeriodicalId":14144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science Research Archive","volume":"135 43","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140423321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
