Abstract: Soil
transmitted parasites are known common chronic human
infection globally that has been recognized to be of
public health importance majorly in developing
countries, including Nigeria. This study was conducted
within the University College Hospital, Ibadan to
determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites in soil
samples from 10 selected dumpsites within the hospital.
A total of 200 top soil samples were collected from ten
selected dumpsites within the University College
Hospital, (U.C.H.) Ibadan, Oyo State, for macroscopic
and microscopic examination using a descriptive
cross-sectional study approach. The result recorded a
high prevalence of parasites in the study sites. Of the
200 soil samples examined, 122 (61.0%) soil samples were
positive for one or more parasites, and these included;
Hookwork 60 (49.2%), Strongyloide Stercoralis 14
(11.5%), Trichomonas hominis 44(36.1%); Gardia lambia
1(.8%); Balantidium coli 2(1.6%) and ova of Ascaris
lumbricoides 1(0.8%). The result also indicated the
dictates of seasonal variation in the prevalence of
parasites in the examined soil samples. It further
showed that refuse dump sites located in different parts
of the University College Hospital (UCH) poses great
public health challenge to the population. The study
therefore recommends that environmental and public
health awareness should be intensified and scavengers
and dumpsite workers should be encouraged to use
personal protective gears at the sites, to reduce the
risk of parasitic infestation and exposure to
contracting parasitic larval in the soil, which has a
resultant short and long term health effects.

Abstract:
The climate of Argentina is a complex subject. Argentina
has winter, spring, summer and autumn seasons. Surface
and ground water resources are also available in the
Argentina. Summer rains are intense and torrential rain
is common. Because of its geographical characteristics,
the country is exposed to natural disasters such as
earth quakes, severe storms, volcanic eruptions, and
climatic changes. Argentina is a country exposed to many
natural disasters, it lies south of the equator making
for various different weather conditions winter months
consist of droughts while summer months consist of
various storms and tornadoes. Due to extreme changes in
climate through the year Argentina gets hit with a lot
of natural disasters. Some of these natural disasters
include floods, extreme temperatures, earth quakes,
droughts, floods and tornados. Mining in Argentina is an
important regional producer of minerals including
Aluminum, lead, copper, zinc, silver and gold etc.
Keeping in view of all the above facts of climate and
natural hazards of the Argentina, I have conducted many
comprehensive studies on the Argentina climate and
natural calamities combined with my researches and
proposed the Argentina Monsoon Time Scale, and Argentina
National Geoscope Project along with the other
scientific results Argentina Weather Time scale,
Bioforecast effect, Irlapatism-A New Hypothetical Model
of Cosmology etc which can help to estimate the
impending weather conditions and natural hazards of the
country in advance to take mitigation measures and save
the people, crops and other assets. For example-
By setting up the Argentina National Geoscope Project
and maintain, the country can be predicted the impending
earthquakes, volcanic hazards(and storm surges, tsunamis
etc consequence secondary hazards due to the earthquakes
occur in the womb that means underground of the sea or
ocean if the country have the chances of occurring of
these disasters) in advance.
By setting up the Argentina National Geoscope Project
and maintain, the country can be predicted the earth’s
underground resources like metallic resources such as
iron, gold, silver, tin, copper, nickel, aluminum,
chromium etc mine sites and non-metallic resources like
sand gravel, gypsum, halite, uranium, dimension stones,
etc. can be found by inserting many kinds of super high
remote sensing technology in the area of sensor physics,
signal processing used specially image processing,
electromagnetic detection technology and geophysical
deep underground detectors and mineral exploration
equipments, natural gas sensors etc in the underground
of the Argentina through the Geoscope.
Setting up the Argentina National Geoscope Project and
maintain will also be useful in emerging industries such
as geothermal and geo-sequestration etc.
By establishing the Argentina Monsoon Time Scale and
maintain, the country can be estimated the impending
weather conditions and natural calamities like rains,
floods, landslides, avalanches, blizzard, droughts,
extreme winter conditions, heavy rainfall, mudflows,
extreme weather, cyclones, cloud bursts, sand storms,
hails, and winds etc in advance. Surface water resources
in advance.

The importance of Adult Learning Principles

E-mail:

Abstract:
Good assessment is
a collaborative process involving the assessor, learners
and others, where appropriate. Your assessment process
should be transparent and allow for ongoing feedback
from and to the learners. Remember these adult learners
want to improve their skills in managing money and are
not necessarily interested in formal recognition or
being ranked against their peers in the group. Where
possible, presenters should emphasize from the start
that no-one is going to ‘fail’ the program. Even where
students are seeking formal certification of their
achievement, presenters can advise that there is no
competition between the learners in the group or between
an individual and the topic material – it’s all
achievable and everyone can make it work for them. Your
program should employ methodologies so that your
trainers establish a friendly, open atmosphere that
shows the participants they will help them learn rather
than present as ‘experts’ imparting knowledge. No-one
engages well with a trainer/teacher who is just ‘showing
off’ what they know. Financial services have a plethora
of jargon and complicated ideas that can put many lay
people off. Exposing this sort of terminology and
explaining it in simple terms – or deciding whether some
of it needs exposure at all – is paramount to keeping
your learner’s trust and interest.

majority of respondents have a moderate level of
emotional intelligence (3.41), while the level of skills
competency and personal development is at a high level
(4.93). In addition, the relationship of emotional
intelligence (self awareness, self control, self
motivation, empathy and social skills) with the skills
competency has a medium strong significant relationship
(0.65). Meanwhile a relationship of emotional
intelligence (self awareness, self control, self
motivation, empathy and social skills) with personal
development also has a strong moderate significant
relationship (0.67). Implications of the study found out
that in an effort to improve the quality of guidance and

Abstract: There
are many reports particularly from developed countries
that show a relationship between socioeconomic status
and health of individuals. Among a wide range of
socioeconomic variables it seems that income, education,
and occupation are more important factors that might
change health of people. Many of studies carried out to
assess the relationship between socioeconomic status and
health status focused on narrow health indicators that
measure a single feature of health status such as
morbidity and mortality. In this study we employed a
specific instrument of quality of life measurement (LEIPAD)
to measure the quality of life of elderly people. It was
a cross-sectional study carried out in rural area of
Sari the capital city of Mezandaran province. A sample
of 130 elderly people over 60 years from both sex were
interviewed on their doorsteps randomly. Inferential
statistics and ANOVA were used to analyze the data using
SPSS software package. The quality of life of
respondents in overall was better on core scales than
moderator scales. Among domains of core scales, physical
functioning scale and social functioning scale had
better status. Among socioeconomic variables age,
marital status, income and literacy had significantly
affected the quality of life of elderly people both in
terms of core and moderator scales. It is recommended
that appropriate intervention needs to assist vulnerable
groups particularly elderly people in rural area to
improve the quality of their life.

In the Name of the Illustrator of
Universe Illustration of Events in Mongol Period
Painting

branch,Islamic Azad university, Dashtestan, Iran

Abstract: As it
will be explained in the paper, event has various
meaning in Persian language, such as happening,
accidents… which is initiated when its primary
conditions of factors are provided and as in each
course, it is exclusive, its end and conclusion is not
known. In another word, while the end has not come, the
finishing point of the event could not be known; as, if
two events have the same start and end, they will be
repeated and predicted subject and accident. Now, if
this phenomenon is selected by painter or imager as a
subject for creating artistic piece, naturally its
(subjective) aspect will have priority over other
factors. Even in some instances as accidents happen with
acceleration and most often without preparation of
heart, that acceleration is evident for the end of work
for some pieces of painter; a mode which is mostly
specified to impression painters. On the other hand it
differs in a painting piece when the painter is affected
and under its passion conditions and pays particular
attention to aesthetic element based on his taste and
school of work. In another word, in picturing and
painting, the subject of the work serves as the basis
and foundation of the artist’s image and all factors
gather in serving the expression of subject.
Nonetheless, in painting, the painter most often
emphasizes on expressing the inner and concealed passion
of human soul, of course in a beautiful shape and
observing the principles of aesthetic. By searching in
painting and imaging of Mongol period, while perceiving
and receiving those events and subjects of painting,
various divisions could be categorized: time division,
location division or for work method…including the three
major classes that is, 1. Mythological, epic events, 2.
Events of the religious saints, prophets, kings and
noblemen of their time, 3. Cultural, social events,
ordinary people and folks. Those works have been created
to serve a painting order, necessity and/or the taste of
painters in the time spin and location domination
(ruling territory) of Moguls. There are paintings that
could have been read in texts, heard from witnesses or
eyewitnesses by painters and imagers. This
characteristics goes as far as there might be some
samples which have been created in the limit of a mere
news picture and as a supplement of a written paper or
book illustration, a written that glances to a mythical,
epic and/or historical context from social, political,
cultural…window.
