Jurnal Sosialisasi Reinventing the Theatre Curriculum to Address
Jurnal Sosialisasi Jurnal Hasil Pemikiran, Penelitian, dan Pengembangan Keilmuan Sosiologi Pendidikan Vol. 8, Nomor 2, Juli 2021 Reinventing the Theatre Curriculum to Address Contemporary Development Needs and Job Alignment in Nigeria Esekong H. Andrew-Essien Department of Theatre and Media Studies University of Calabar, Nigeria [email protected] ABSTRACT As the social and economic terrain is changing in Nigeria, theatre training and practice have not evolved commensurately to address the current development needs and job alignment. The models used in many Nigerian universities mainly offer theoretical knowledge of theatre and basic training for entertainment roles. Even though the philosophy and objectives of theatre training in the NUC Benchmark for minimum academic standards are couched with the anticipation for innovation and programme expansion, it does not specify the type or scope of expansion needed to retain the viability of theatre practice within the current knowledge economy. Nigerian universities are therefore not firmly guided to develop their theatre curricula in a direction that is sensitive to the exigencies of time and age. There is currently a lot of interest in film production, carnival, standup comedy, development communication, applied theatre and event management. This paper argues that theatre and performing art programmes in universities and other theatre training centres should develop more courses around these emerging areas of interest. The paper submits that while there are many specialties in which theatre graduates can be professionally engaged, and while the nature of theatre training imbues numerous subjective qualities desired in the contemporary world of work, much more could be done by reinventing the theatre curriculum to give theatre graduates wider opportunities. -

N. Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Imo State University, Owerri, Imo State Nigeria Email: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT The proximate and mineral composition of three varieties of mushroom consumed in Amaifeke, Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State were evaluated. The mushroom species include white button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus ), oyster mushroom ( Pleurotus ostreatus ), Crimini mushroom ( Agaricus bisporus ). The mushroom varieties were harvested and dried, then taken to the laboratory for proximate, mineral and vitamin analysis. Standard assay methods were used to analyze for proximate and mineral composition. Proximate composition of the mushroom was found to be in the range of 3.29 – 5.24% for moisture content, 8.60 – 22.60% for protein, 6.85 – 7.54% for fat, 7.94 – 18.63% for fibre, 2.99 – 4.74% for ash and 59.67 – 60.60% for carbohydrate. Six mineral elements were analysed: selenium, iron, zinc, iodine, potassium and copper, having values of 3.04 -6.56mg/100g, 1.532 – 2.378mg/100g, 2.70 – 3.90mg/100g, 0.348 – 0.425mg/100g, 0.8079 – 2.4615% and 0.586 – 0.784mg/100g respectively. Based on the result the mushroom have high nutrient potentials hence it will serve as a good means of reducing the incidence and high prevalence of malnutrition in Nigeria since it is a cheap food source that is within the reach of the poor. -

Food Science and Quality Management www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-6088 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0557 (Online) Vol.32, 2014 Antinutrient Profile of Three Mushroom Varieties Consumed in Amaifeke, Orlu, Imo State OLY-ALAWUBA, N. OBIAKOR - OKEKE, P. N. Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Science Imo State University, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria Email: [email protected] ; [email protected] Abstract Background: The importance of eliminating or minimizing antinutrients from foods human consume cannot be overemphasized. This study evaluated the antinutrient profile of three varieties of mushroom consumed in Amaifeke, Orlu, Imo State were determined. The mushroom species include white button mushroom ( Agaricus bisporus ), oyster mushroom ( Pleurotus ostreatus ), Crimini mushroom ( Agaricus bisporus ). Methods: The mushroom varieties were harvested and dried, after which, they were taken to the laboratory for chemical analysis. Standard assay methods were used to analyze for antinutrient composition. Result: Six anti-nutrients: hydrogen cyanide, saponin, phytate, oxalate, trypsin inhibitor and haemogglutinin were analysed and their values ranged from 0.198 – 0.236mg/g, 0.6656 – 1.001mg/g, 0.7794 -1.558mg/100g, 0.236 – 0.510%, 1.857 – 3.476TIµ/mg, 1.350 – 2.899Hµ/mg respectively. Conclusion: Based on the result of the study, it is important that these mushrooms be properly processed so that the nutrients in them will not be rendered inaccessible by the body due to the presence of these antinutrients. Keywords: Antinutrient, Mushroom, Consumed, Amaifeke Introduction Antinutrients are natural or synthetic compounds that interfere with the absorption of nutrients (1). Plant foods may contain significant amounts of toxic or antinutritional substances, legumes are particularly rich source of natural toxicants including protease inhibitors, amylase inhibitors, metal chelates, flatus factors, hemagglutinins, saponins, cyanogens, lathyrogens, tannins, allergens, acetylenic furan and isoflavonoidphytoalexins (2). -

A combination of purposive and multistage sampling techniques was used in selecting 360 fish farmers for this study while a structured questionnaire was designed and used for data collection. Our results show that a total of 3,360 jobs were generated from fish production, fish marketing, processing and distribution as well as inputs distribution. Farmers used the income realized from fish farming to acquire assets such as land, cars, motorcycles, buildings and household facilities and provision of education to their children. High cost of feed and other inputs (92.2%) was the major challenge facing fish farming.Keywords: Research and technology on alternative cost-effective sources of feed and other inputs in the region be explored.

Statistical Prediction of Gully Erosion Development on the Coastal Plain Sands of the South Eastern Nigeria
Nigerian Journal of Technology, Vol. 24, No. 2, September 2005 Nwakwasi and Tee 59 STATISTICAL PREDICTION OF GULLY EROSION DEVELOPMENT ON THE COASTAL PLAIN SANDS OF THE SOUTH EASTERN NIGERIA NWAKWASI, N.L., and TEE, D.P. Department of Civil Engineering, Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria ABSTRACT A statistical model for predicting gully initiation was developed using variables from 20 randomly selected sites. The random samples gave 10 gully sites and 10 non-gully sites. In all, 12 variables were identified but using students t-tests approach, only four variables contributed to gully development. These four variables include Maximum slope, Maximum slope length, Microrelief amplitude and percentage coarse sand. The four variables were combined through factor analysis and statistical manipulations to form Linear Discriminant Function (LDF). Three functions were obtained by combining the variables in three different ways. An application of the three functions to the field situation identified function 1,1 as a very comfortable prediction. When Yl was used to classify the various sites using the variables obtained from the field, a 25% wrong classification was obtained. This value was quite low when compared with the other two functions whose wrong classification ranged from 35% and above. It was observed from the study that when Yl is less than 30, it indicated little or no gully erosion threat. INTRODUCTION spatial distribution of rainfall as induced gully Today, in our country Nigeria, erosion menace formation in most of our towns and express the has become all object of discussion and a major need to adopt good planning and policy ecological problem facing the nation. -

American Journal of Geographic Information System 2016, 5(2): 55-67 DOI: 10.5923/j.ajgis.20160502.03 Erosion Sensitivity Assessment of Communities in Owerri, Nigeria Using Geographic Information System and Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation- Based Model Ngozi AC-Chukwuocha*, Ogbenna Uchechukwu, Ogugua Chizoba, Emenike Nnedinma Department of Environmental Technology, Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria Abstract Soil erosion menace is a major environmental concern in South East Nigeria; that calls for quick measures to minimize the rate of devastation. These measures are sustainable if geospatial information on erosion sensitivity and degree of sensitivity is provided. This study identifies and integrates variables such as land use (derived from IKONOS 2012 Satellite Image), soil erodibity, rainfall erosivity, slope steepness (from Digital Terrain Model), level of imperviousness, drainage and population density to assess the degree of sensitivity in Owerri area of Nigeria to water erosion. The datasets were integrated into the GIS environment with the use of ArcGIS 10.3. The functions of weighted overlay were used to analyze the degrees of sensitivity of the entire study area to erosion hazards. The results showed that 57.56% of the study area mapped ranked medium sensitivity to erosion. With the built-up and forest land use accounting for 29.84% and 12.16%. Impervious surface analysis showed that 53.57% of the sub-watersheds had low level of imperviousness. While 46.43% of the study area had medium level of imperviousness (between 10%-25%). The study also revealed that Ohii with highest percentage sand (87.3%) and lowest percentage organic matter (0.635%) had the highest erodibility status. -

Journal of Surveying and Mapping Engineering Mar. 2014, Vol. 2 Iss. 1, PP. 25-36 GIS Based Demarcation of Natural Flow Routes Using Old Topographic Data Akajiaku C. Chukwuocha*1, Joel I. Igbokwe2 *1Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics, Federal University of Technology Owerri, Nigeria 2Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria *[email protected]; [email protected] Abstract-Demarcation of runoff natural flow routes is inestimable in mitigating flooding and erosion. It is useful also in planning urban areas and designing drainage networks. Devastating flooding and erosion are being recorded across the globe as a result of increases in the intensity and duration of storm water precipitation due to global warming. In the developing parts of the world state of the art topographical data is not always available, but it should not be necessary to stop state of the art geospatial topographical analyses especially if there are sources of old topographic data that may be authenticated. In this study, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) were used to create a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Owerri in Southeast Nigeria, using data from topographical maps of the city of 1977. The data was authenticated using three dimensional (3D) coordinates of sample points derived from Global Navigational Satellite Systems (GNSS) surveys. The DEM was processed using the ArcGIS and ArcHydro software to determine heavily accumulating flow routes. The accuracy of the result was confirmed by using the coordinates of the delineated flow routes to locate their ground positions with handheld GPS receivers after some heavy storm event.

Journal of Geology and Mining Research Vol. 3(10), pp. 251-264, October 2011 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/JGMR ISSN 2006-9766 ©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Determination of aquifer potentials of Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU) and its environs using vertical electrical sounding (VES) M. U. Igboekwe* and Akpan, C. B. Department of Physics, Micheal Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, P. M.B. 7267 Umuahia, Nigeria. Accepted 23 October, 2010 Resistivity soundings have been carried out around the Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU) and its environs, using the Schlumberger configuration. The major aim is to delineate potential aquifer zones for regional groundwater harvesting and further development. The geologic formations in the study area consist of a sequence of underlying Lower Coal Measures (Mamu), the Ajali formation and the upper coal measures (Nsukka formation). The Ajali formation, which is the most predominant in the sequence, consists of false-bedded poorly sorted sandstones. Twenty (20) vertical electrical soundings (VES) are taken with AB/2 = 500 m. The geoelectrical data analysis indicates the heterogenous nature of the aquifer with resistivity range between 2291.8 to 100,000 m. Assuming a homogeneous sandy aquifer, the average hydraulic conductivity (k) and transmissivity (Tr) distribution within the study area, are found to be 8.12 m/day and 1154.2 m2/day respectively. Based on these results, potential aquifer zones have been identified between Ugba junction (Uturu) and 200 m southeastward along Isukwuato- ABSU road. Key words: Abia State University Uturu (ABSU), aquifer, Schlumberger, VES, resistivity, transmissivity. INTRODUCTION Unlike surface water resources, the evaluation of population.
