This group has developed. ​ This parasitism takes place throughout the course of the year, but especially during hot and humid months. However, the number of parasitism seems to depend above all on the size of the colony of ants and on the number of pupae that they serve by guests. The purpose of this article is to obtain information on the characteristics and taxonomy of the Family Eucharitidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera). In this study, quantitative and conceptual aspects were used. To this end, a bibliographic survey of Eucharitidae was carried out in the years 1941 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events, Doctoral Thesis and Master's Dissertation were considered.

This is a clear indication of the ineffectiveness of these policies and programmes, which is attributable to corruption, high level of inequality in income distribution, low literacy rate and poor skill set, political instability, and poor leadership. The major challenge every responsive and responsible government must contend with is to make life better and more meaningful to the citizenry irrespective of whether such government is a democratic one or a military dictator if the regime is to have relevance and continue to enjoy legitimacy in the eyes of the governed. Every successive government since independence has put up one strategy or the other aimed at eradicating the sufferings of the people and put smiles on the faces of the governed. This paper critically examined the various poverty eradication programmes, reforms and strategies, which had been undertaken by successive Nigerian governments and the reasons behind the success/failure of these programmes. The paper articulated and proffered useful strategies that if faithfully implemented would lead the nation out of the present dungeon of poverty and set the nation on the right map of sustainable economic development and not just on economic growth which it has persistently witnessed over the years.","PeriodicalId":199114,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Frontiers in Science and Technology Research","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116604120","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}

With 350 million people affected worldwide, rates of depression are roughly two times greater in people living with HIV than in the general population. Objective: Determine prevalence of depression in patients attending Comprehensive Care Centre Shifa international Hospital, Islamabad Methods: This data is from a bigger study ‘prevalence of alcohol use disorders and depression in patients attending Comprehensive Care Centre (CCC). The study population consisted of PLWHA attending the CCC. Two hundred and seventy-two (N=272) participants from CCC attendants were recruited. All consenting male and female aged 18-65 years were interviewed using the researcher’s designed questioner to collect their socio-demographic characteristics. Fully completed questionnaires were entered into excel sheets and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 20. Results: The overall prevalence of depression was 23.8%, with mild depression at 9.7%, moderate depression at 10.4% and severe depression accounting for 3.7%, respectively. Depression was associated with alcohol use (p=0.024). A significant difference between depression and age where depression levels worsens as age advances; respondents in age category of 18-21 years had less or no depression compared to those in the age category of 33 years and above. We found an association between depression and employment. Those laid-off work (1/3), and the retired (15%) had more depression compared to the employed (11%) or self-employed 6%, with a P value of 0.55 (borderline). On multivariate analysis severity of depression (OR=5.5, 95% CI of OR [2.1 –14.3], p<0.0001) was associated with male gender (OR=10, 95% CI of OR [3.6 –28.3], p<0.0001). Conclusion: The study findings indicate a high prevalence of depressive symptoms in patients attending the CCC. There is need to set-up appropriate interventions and strategies to reduce the prevalence of mental health disorders into routine HIV clinical care and support.","PeriodicalId":199114,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Frontiers in Science and Technology Research","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121197176","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}

Insufficient intakes of energy, protein and specific micronutrients; It is associated with suppressed immune function and increased susceptibility to infection. The morbidity and mortality of the disease is higher, especially in low immune function people. It is known that increasing protein intake is a priority in order to reduce catabolism due to inflammatory mediators Eating healthy before, during and after the illness is the main key to the immune system and health. Patients who can eat during illness should be advised to consume sufficient and high quality protein despite the loss of their sense of taste.

In one or the other diseases, the involvement of these diseases has been clarified. Several diseases afflict liver. The major diseases of liver include HBV infection, liver fibrosis/cirrhosis, hepatocellular cancer. Several cells of the liver which are exposed to blood circulation or not exposed to blood circulation are involved in these diseases. Although conventional routes of administration can lead to drug access into these varieties of cells, means to increase the effectiveness of these by various drug delivery approaches has been attempted recently.

The treated seeds of maize was planted in plastic containers containing 4.2g of charcoalized soil in the Green House. The result obtained showed that sample E with manure had the highest stem height (40.69) while sample E with manure has the lowest value (8.97). It further revealed that the leaf length ranged from 60.14 to 24.52, Sample E with manure has 60.14 while sample B without manure had the 24.52 which is the lowest leaf length among the samples. Number of leaves ranged from 9.04 to 5.42mm, sample E with manure has the highest values while sample A without manure had was the lowest value. It revealed that there was no significance difference in cadmium and cobalt contents. It further reveled that Sodium ranged from 0.69 to 0.007, Sample B with manure having the highest sodium contents while Sample B without manure having the lowest sodium contents. Calcium ranged from 19.0 to 0.007, Sample B without manure having the highest calcium contents while sample E without manure having the lowest calcium contents among the samples. However, the efficiency of biomass conversion into charcoal was important in conjunction with a newly proposed opportunity to use charcoal as a soil conditioner that improves soil quality on very acid and highly weathered soils. It is hereby recommended that in other to improved nutrient contents, particularly in C+, resulted in a significant cowpea yield increase and further field-testing of charcoalized soil should be continued for three or more growing seasons to see the trends in yield, so as to ascertain the long-term effects of charcoal production on the fertility of tropical soils.","PeriodicalId":199114,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Frontiers in Science and Technology Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127665358","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}
