- The comorbidity nature of communication difficulties and associated developmental challenges often times impair the overall functional ability and quality of life, learning and psycho-social behaviours, and health stability of those with the conditions, especially the children. With the attendant effect of those comorbid challenges, children would experience delayed language development, reduced vocabulary, poor clarity of speech, poor word recall, difficulty forming sentences, poor understanding of spoken speech, difficulty following instructions, poor empathy, poor ability to express needs/feelings, literal understanding/speech, repetitive speech, swallowing problems, poor listening skills and poor copying/imitation skills. Therefore, the management of such communication difficulties and associated developmental challenges in children is a complex task requiring professional competence and expertise, experience, a blend of therapeutic options and multidisciplinary team-work approach. It is against this background that this paper highlighted the benefits of different therapeutic options for both children and adults with comorbidity of communication difficulties and developmental challenges. The need for multidisciplinary team-work services in rehabilitating the conditions has also been emphasized. The paper concluded by advocating cooperative efforts of the allied professionals and combined therapeutic options towards rehabilitating comorbid communication and developmental challenges. 2 results 2
- "Radio stations have used jingles for environmental education and communication in Nigeria for decades though not much has been done to study the impact of such use—which is the purpose of this article. Through 12 focus group discussions (FGDs) in six local government areas of Oyo state, Nigeria, interviews with the program directors of two radio stations, and a questionnaire administered with 18 program producers from the stations, the researcher found that producers and directors had full confidence in the ability of the jingles to engender environmental sanctity, and that listeners fully understood the message of the jingles. However, listeners mostly did not adopt the behavior recommended by the jingles, because the government did not make the infrastructures needed to do so available or functional. Though the jingles were aired, the outcome of their use is a frustration of the listeners and even the producers. Based on the findings, the article draws five lessons for better social marketing of environmental behavior. " 1 results 1
- "This study investigated the prevalence of the condition, and health-related quality of life of the elderly with presbycusis. Multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select 146 participants from four (4) south western states in Nigeria. The study was carried out, using Pure-tone audiometric test (PTA) to determine the prevalence and classification of the condition, while HHIE and MOS SF-36 scales were employed to investigate the perceived hearing communication specific problems and health-related quality of life of the participants. Data were analysed, using frequency counts and percentages. The findings reveal that presbycusis is a common disabling condition among the elderly (83.4%), and not peculiar to any gender (M=85.3%; F=80.8%). Also, the findings establish high level of socioemotional adjustment problems, poor social relationships and withdrawal syndrome, feelings of depression and loneliness, reduced daily living functions, poor general well- being and reduced quality of life among the elderly assessed. Therefore, it was recommended that detection and management of presbycusis and associated conditions be done early, while concerted efforts should be by all the stakeholders towards the prevention of presbycusis through comprehensive hearing conservation strategies and promotion of improved quality of life of the elderly in the country" 1 results 1

- A special communication system exists in each of the eighteen (18) National Agricultural Research Institutes which is responsible for linking the institutes and their researchers with public and private sector organization and people, including the States’ Extension Services and farmers. Consequently, the researcher considered it necessary to critically analyse these communication linkages in the development and delivery of agricultural information between the Research Institutes and the various target organizations. With the aid of the questionnaire technique, data collection was carried out in the eighteen (18) National Agricultural Research Institues in Nigeria. The chi-square (x2), the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), the Duncan's Multiple Range ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied to determine the relationship between the variables. Personal observations were also used as complementary data to provide additional answers to the research questions. Six research questions related to the problem of study were examined. The results showed that National Agricultural Research Institutes maintain functional relationship with some relevant public and private sector organisations, in addition to the extension service, in the processes of developing and delivering agricultural information. The results also showed that effective communication linkages with the target organizations are associated with variables such as type of research institute, purpose of communication, frequency of contacts, communication methods, specific problem areas, choice of target organizations and the need for linkages. It was found out from the study that the frequency of contacts with the various target organizations is lower for problem formulation than it is for results dissemination. The study indicated that: i) the target organization influences the purpose of communication; ii) communication methods used by research institutes are significantly related to the purpose of communication; iii) type of research institute influences the communication methods used in problem formulation but not in results dissemination; iv) communication methods used by research institutes depend, to a great extent, on the target organization; v) with regards to problems formulation and results dissemination, there is an association between specific problem areas and the target organisations; vi) there is a significant difference in the ranking of communication methods used by Agricultural Research Institutes in contacting the various target organizations; and vii) Communication methods used by research institutes are determined by the specific problem areas. Findings showed that all the eighteen (18) National Agricultural Research Institutes affirmed the need for them to maintain effective communication linkages with other organization and people, and to enhance the linkages between them and the extension services. 1 results 1
