The proportion of sexually active adolescents, including secondary school students, has increased worldwide. This group constitutes the majority of youths who are sexually active, which puts them at high risk of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. The continuum of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and family planning (FP) knowledge acquisition is built throughout adolescence. It begins with the need for basic knowledge of the reproductive system,sexual and social relationships in the early teen years and advances to the mastery of sexual behavior and the potential risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in later adolescence. This study is part of an awareness creation programme, initiated by a Clinical Officers’ Training College (COTC), to find out the knowledge that adolescents in secondary schools in Mtwara, Tanzania, have of SRH. A total of 1566 adolescent students, who were randomly selected, participated in the study. Pre- and post-structured questionnaires were used to collect information about the respondents’ knowledge of SRH . Descriptive analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to put the respondents into various SRH and FP knowledge themes. The findings of this study revealed that the adolescent students are generally aware of SRH services, including certain types of FP. Despite having this awareness, factors, such as lack of resources and user-friendly health centers, cultural and religious beliefs, and lack of right sources of information, hinder some of them from accessing SRH services. The findings of this study are useful to the efforts of the government, stakeholders, and other decision-makers seeking to create awareness of SRH and FP among adolescent students.

In the Philippine educational setting, novice elementary head teachers face the challenge of providing instructional coaching to beginning teachers.

The existence of an Individual Company, which aims to ease abbreviate by reducing or simplifying the rules, raises a dilemma in its regulation which shifts the meaning of a company as a legal entity. The method used is normative legal research, with the legal approach used is conceptual and statutory approach. The existence of an Individual Company as a legal entity that can be recognized as a legal subject is only passed with a Statement of Establishment of an Individual Company and registered to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights based on the Job Creation Law. The convenience found was only based on an economic point of view. Practically speaking, there are more hazards in the society. As an example, the Individual Company credit facility, which is hesitant to be granted by the bank as the creditor because it is still categorized as individual credit. Although it has the status of a legal entity, its establishment by one person and without a Notary may not ensure certainty for all parties in the Individual Company.

Air pollution has emerged as a significant peril to public health on a global scale, with around five million deaths occurring each year as a direct result of air pollution. The respiratory system mostly absorbs air contaminants, which then enter the alveoli and circulate in the bloodstream. Exposure to particulate matter (PM), the primary pollutant, can lead to acute inflammation of the respiratory tract and exacerbate pre-existing chronic lung inflammation. The extent of damage produced by particulate matter (PM) is determined by the manner in which the particles enter the lungs, including factors such as their aerodynamic diameter, ambient air velocity, and respiratory rate. Additionally, the manner in which the particles depart the lungs, involving processes such as nostril hair, mucociliary clearance, and macrophage phagocytosis, also plays a role in determining the damage caused. During periods of low air quality, particulate matter (PM) can negatively impact the immune system by causing damage to the bronchial mucociliary system. This damage makes it harder for the body to eliminate pathogens and leads to the release of inflammatory cytokines, which can harm lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Additionally, it inhibits intercellular communication within the gaps of the epithelial barrier, hence reducing its efficacy as a protective barrier for the lungs. The detrimental effects of PM can be attributed to oxidative stress caused by free radicals. PM has the ability to directly stimulate macrophages, leading to inflammation and an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) impair antioxidant defenses and inflict damage on DNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Lung function will decline as a result of bronchoconstriction, pulmonary edema (which leads to thickening of the alveolar capillaries), and fibrosis (which restricts lung expansion) caused by epithelial thickening. Based on the findings of many research, it may be inferred that an excessive influx of particles can lead to an excessive burden on the lungs, consequently impairing the respiratory systems defense capability and potentially resulting in lung damage. These investigations have established that higher levels of exposure to particulate matter are linked to a larger likelihood of reduced lung function. On the other hand, decreasing the amount of these particles that one is exposed to will reduce the danger.

Our thoughts, movements, memories, and decisions are all controlled by the brain, which is the hub of the human neurological system. The complexity of the human brain has increased with evolution, and many of its fascinating characteristics are still poorly understood by researchers. When it comes to mathematical computations, quantitative analysis, and game show questions, computers may be able to consistently outperform human brains, but that does not imply that computers are generally smarter. Humans are more adept at drawing conclusions about a new situation by remembering prior experiences. Qualitative analysis and emotional intelligence are skills that humans possess. The article examines a few topics pertaining to the human brains capacity for information. The amount of information that can be stored in the brain and its capacity for retaining and reproducing text and auditory information are evaluated and estimated based on the fact that the unit of information measurement is a bit. The potentials of the computer have been examined in order to simulate the recognition of pictures that occurs in the human brain. A theory is put out that real-time modeling of these processes is challenging to implement given the capabilities of todays computers.

SHORT ABSTRACT: Companies now prioritise sustainability, especially FMCG firms, have efficiency and environmental responsibility goals. This study examined financial sustainability and green logistics practices of selected FMCG companies in Lagos State, Nigeria. Survey data was collected using verified questionnaires. The survey included 13,782 managers from eight listed FMCG companies. Taro Yamane formula was used to calculate 519 samples. The response rate was 96.7%. Descriptive and inferential (multiple and hierarchical regression) was applied. This study demonstrated that green logistics practices did not affect the financial sustainability of selected FMCG companies in Lagos State. To improve long-term sustainability, these firms should use green logistical methods. ABSTRACT: Todays organisations value sustainability more. Thus, organisations, particularly those in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) business, have aligned goals to focus on efficiency and environmental responsibility. FMCG firms suffer from non-sustainability because of mismanaged green logistics operations such as green production, procurement, transportation, packaging, and reverse logistics. Many current studies focus more on industrialised countries than developing nations and non-FMCG businesses. This research examined Lagos State, Nigeria FMCG businesses financial sustainability and green logistical practices. The study was survey-based. The survey included 13,782 managerial staff from eight listed FMCG corporations in Lagos State, Nigeria. Taro Yamane formula was used to calculate 519 sample size. Simple random sampling was used. Structured and validated questionnaires data was collected. Cronbachs alpha reliability coefficient ranged from 0.78 to 0.94. The response rate was 96.7%. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including multiple and hierarchical regression, were employed. The results indicated that the implementation of green logistics methods did not have a statistically significant impact on the financial sustainability of the chosen FMCG companies in Lagos State, Nigeria. (Adj.R2 = 0.001, F(5, 496) = 1.11, p > 0.05). The study concluded that green logistics practices promote firm sustainability of selected FMCG firms in Lagos State, Nigeria.

Humans cannot be separated from inheritance. Inheritance is the most important aspect in all areas of life, because in the end people are always faced with inheritance, whether it is inheritance in positive form, namely obtaining wealth or negative, namely the existence of many debts that are paid as an inheritance from the testator. Inheritance is something that many people who are in need or who are not in need still hope for an inheritance that can improve and/or increase their standard of living. Inheritance is an inheritance left by a person who dies to his or her heirs. All rights and obligations of the heir automatically (saisine principle) are transferred to the heir(s) when the heir dies, even if the heir is not/is not aware of the existence of the inheritance1. Inheritance often triggers divisions and/or quarrels in families, especially if the heir leaves behind many heirs. Quarrels can occur because of feelings of injustice, jealousy, disagreement or disagreement in the distribution of inheritance and many other things that trigger quarrels over inheritance, but in the end it is the assets that are fought over between the heirs. To minimize the risk of disputes, one way is to determine what inheritance law is used in dividing inheritance assets when someone dies. Determining inheritance law is an important aspect in resolving legal problems related to inheritance of property. This research aims to explore various factors that influence the choice of inheritance law in the context of differences in culture, religion and state law. The research method used is analytical descriptive of the inheritance law system in force in Indonesia as well as a review of related literature. The results of this research identify that in determining which inheritance law to use, factors such as religion, cultural values, state policies and personal family preferences play a crucial role. Apart from that, legal clarity and certainty are also the main considerations in choosing inheritance law. The implications of this research are the importance of being aware of cultural and legal diversity in dealing with inheritance issues, as well as the need for a flexible and inclusive approach in determining inheritance laws that suit the needs and values of the family concerned. This research makes an important contribution to the practical and theoretical understanding of determining effective inheritance law in an increasingly connected global context.

This study evaluates the clean water management at Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School I, one of the largest boarding schools in East Java, Indonesia. The boarding school plays a significant social role and contributes to environmental improvements, despite facing issues such as clean water shortages that can hinder activities. The research methods involved field observations, laboratory tests of clean water quality, and interviews with staff and students of the boarding school using questionnaires. These questionnaires aimed to gather data on environmental awareness related to clean water management. The evaluation of clean water facilities and infrastructure was based on three aspects: technical, financial, and community participation. The study results showed that the clean water infrastructure in some parts of the boarding school did not fulfilled the standards set by the Ministry of Public Works Regulation (PERMEN PU) Number 60 of 1992, particularly concerning water storage for a minimum of 6 hours. On the other hand, the clean water quality test results showed that some parameters, such as TDS and Total Coliform, exceeded the quality standards set by the Ministry of Health Regulation (PERMENKES) Number 2 of 2023. The TDS and Total Coliform parameter values exceeding the quality standards were 477 mg/L and 12 MPN/100 mL, respectively. The cost incurred by the foundation for maintaining clean water facilities and infrastructure for one year reached IDR 126.183.900. The boarding school community s attitude towards environmental awareness in clean water management was rated well, with a score of 87, 86, indicating a high level of awareness.

Clean water is an essential necessity for all life forms. With rapid urbanization, the demand for water is increasing while water resources are diminishing, necessitating the exploration of alternative water sources. Communities often resort to river water, which is increasingly contaminated due to daily domestic activities, thereby necessitating water treatment for safe consumption. To address this, the government has established Regional Drinking Water Companies (PDAM) and Drinking Water Supply Systems (SPAM) to convert raw water into potable water. Part of the effort to supply potable water was the construction of Long Storage Kalimati in Sidoarjo Regency, however its utilization remains suboptimal, with several areas still relying on groundwater despite its deteriorating quality. This study investigates community willingness to pay for PDAM services and transition to potable water sourced from Long Storage Kalimati. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. Logistic regression analysis revealed that certain occupations and higher income levels tend to increase willingness to pay for PDAM, while increased utility expenses correlate with greater willingness. High bottled water consumption increases the desire to switch to drinking water because it reduces dependence on bottled water. To enhance community acceptance, author recommends improving water treatment processes, educating residents about water contaminants, providing government subsidies, and implementing supportive regulations. These strategies aim to improve access to clean water and enhance community health and well-being.
