- This research work was carried out to unravel democratic cultural competence of senior secondary school students- prefects in Akure City, Ondo State, Nigeria. Three hundred and ninety (390) senior secondary school prefects from twenty-eight (28) secondary schools participated in this study and the data collected were analysed using simple tables, frequency count, graphs, percentages and mean deviation. According to the study findings, it was found that the school prefects possessed high level of democratic knowledge, values, attitude arid the school prefects' interest in politics was high while their democratic skills was moderate. This is not the focus of this paper. Therefore, this study recommended that secondary schools' administration should be all inclusive in such a way that it will afford students the opportunity of participating in the decision-making process, while teachers should create a friendly and democratic learning environment where the interest of the learners is the centre-piece of the learning activities by emphasizing students-centred methods of teaching. 2 results 2

- Background: Falls and fall-related injuries are a foremost health concern among older adults aged 60 years and above. Fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs) use by older adults is one related cause of falling, and it is frequently used among older adults. Pharmacist-led counselling is an aspect of patient education that has been associated with improved therapeutic outcome and quality of life in high income countries with scarcity of information in lowmiddle income countries. This study therefore aims to assess hospital pharmacists’ knowledge and counselling on fall-related medications using the list compiled by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare on FRIDs and orthostatic drugs (ODs). Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out among 56 pharmacists working in a teaching hospital in Nigeria, between July and August 2019, using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were summarized with descriptive statistics while chi-square test was used for categorical variables at p < 0.05. Results: Thirty-five (62.5%) were within 10 years of practice experience. Two-third (62.5%) of the pharmacists possessed an additional qualification to Bachelor of Pharmacy degree. Twenty-two (40.0%) were aware of the FRIDs and ODs list. In all, (89.3%) had “unsatisfactory” knowledge of classes of medications and specific medicines that could cause a fall. Most pharmacists 42 (80.8%) focused counsel on appropriate medication use, adverse effects of drugs and storage of medications. Knowledge score of both FRIDs and ODs were neither significantly associated with pharmacists’ years of qualification (χ 2 = 1.282; p = 0.733), (χ 2 = 2.311; p = 0.510) nor with possession of additional qualification (χ 2 = 0.854; p = 0.836), (χ 2 = 2.996; p = 0.392). Majority, 53 (98.1%) believed that patients will benefit from effective counselling on FRIDs and ODs. About half (25; 51.0%) suggested training through seminar presentation as a measure for FRIDs and ODs sensitization. Conclusion: A substantial gap in knowledge and awareness of FRIDs and ODs was noted among the hospital pharmacists. However, engagement of pharmacists on counsel that focus on medication use, adverse effect and storage was relatively better. Thus, there is a general need to create awareness about fall-risk-increasing drugs among hospital pharmacists, so as to help improve the therapeutic outcome particularly in the older adults. 1 results 1
- Background: Inappropriate medication prescribing and dispensing by physicians and pharmacists is a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Signifying the importance of healthcare professionals’ knowledge of potentially inappropriate prescribing tools/ guidelines which would improve overall health outcomes. Beers Criteria is one of the most used guidelines that list specifc potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). This study aimed to investigate physicians’ and hospital pharmacists’ awareness, knowledge, practice, confdence, and barriers to the use of Beers criteria. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out among 66 hospital pharmacists and 31 family medicine physi cians working in a teaching hospital in Nigeria, between May and September 2021 using a self-administered ques tionnaire. Knowledge of PIMs was assessed using 11 clinical vignettes based on the 2019 Beers Criteria. Practice behavior towards elderly patients was assessed using a 5-item statement with a 5-point Likert scale. Perceived barriers to the appropriate use of Beers Criteria were assessed using a 15-item statement. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 66 hospital pharmacists and 31 family medicine physicians participated in the study. Only (24; 36.4%) pharmacists and (4; 12.9%) physicians knew guidelines that listed specifc PIMs. In all (21; 31.8%) pharmacists and (11; 35.4%) physicians demonstrated good knowledge of Beers Criteria, while most pharmacists (55; 83.3%) and physicians (29; 93.5%) reported good practice when dealing with elderly patients in terms of asking relevant ques tions and considering their ages while dispensing medications. Knowledge scores were not signifcantly associated with hospital pharmacists’ socio-demographics. Most of the physicians and pharmacists were confdent in the care provided for geriatric patients. The majority (66; 100.0%) pharmacists and (28; 93.5%) physicians suggested training through seminar presentations as a measure to improve the use of Beers’ criteria. Lack of time to counsel patients was a major barrier recounted by both physicians and pharmacists. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals that participated in this study had satisfactory practice, although a gap in the knowledge of hospital pharmacists and family medicine physicians was noted. In addition to creating aware ness among healthcare professionals and training on PIMs and Beers’ criteria, a multidisciplinary approach to reduce potentially inappropriate prescribing and dispensing would greatly help reduce the incidence of potentially inappro priate medication use among elderly patients. 1 results 1

- For close to five decades, law faculties and the Nigerian Law School teaching has relied on an education model that focuses on theory, providing minimal opportunity for students to learn and apply the practical problem-solving skills critical to becoming a competent lawyer in real world settings. Modern learning theory provides direction, and the tools are available for improving the legal education system to prepare students for the practice of law. The perspectives and recommendations in this article are presented with the intent of encouraging discussion about the future of legal education in Nigeria. This article is broadly divided into five sections i. e. concept analysis, history of legal education, Pre-NUC; the era of NUC; era of Clinical legal cum NUC and finally proposals for developing an ideal curriculum for legal education in Nigeria. The first section provides an overview of the history and status of legal education. The second section discusses the learning theory and how the profession has fared. It provides answers to criticism as it addresses curriculum, teaching, faculty, and affordability. With high optimism for the future of the profession and the legal education system, I invite you to consider and deliberate on the issues raised in this paper. It is not only possible, but essential, to create a Legal Education for the 21st Century. It is remarkable to state that traditionally, lawyers and law teachers have been resistant to change, arguing that the profession is a noble and conservative one thus not allowing fpr any inference whatsoever. The dynamic reality and the challenges of 21st century legal practice require an equally dynamic and timely response. This paper has outlined one such response: i.e. proposing a workable curriculum for training 21st Century lawyers 1 results 1
- In Nigeria, there are management instituitions which are saddled with management manpower preparation. It is an obvious fact that in management, as in other sectors of the economy, the role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) cannot be over-emphazied. ICTs are a diverse set of tools and resources used to communicate, create, disseminate, store, and manage information. Thus, the paper attempted to investigate the role of ICT in the preparation of management of human capital for the economy. A rating scale on the role of ICT in management preparation developed and validated by the researchers was administered on a sample of 250 management trainees and 50 management educators in a specialized management institution in Nigeria. Findings showed that ICT played significant role in the development of managers for the Nigerian economy; ICT had significantly improved teaching and learning in management courses and the trainees' achievement in courses like planning, statistics, management communication, quantitative analysis and operations research. It was recommended that every institution involved in management development should be sent on practical exposure programmes outside the institution to enhance their knowledge and application of ICTs in management practices. 1 results 1

- Research is an organizational study, which is concerned with methodical investigation into a subject in order to discover facts, to establish or revise a theory or to develop a plan of action based on the fact discovered. Universities, as centers of knowledge production and generation play a critical role in national research by maintaining research infrastructures and standards in all existing academic disciplines, creating new disciplines, and building research capacity through training of new researchers and influencing university teaching. Research capacity building is the process of enhancing the abilities of individuals, organizations and systems to undertake and disseminate high quality research efficiently and effectively. It involves improving research skills, as well as access to research information and resources. This study examines the constraints and prospects of building research capacity among engineering undergraduates of Nigerian universities. Based on the report of the last accreditation exercise of engineering departments across Nigerian universities, which showed that only 55% of engineering departments were fully accredited; the study identified the problem of low funding, poor curriculum design, lack of adequate industrial practice and the problem of staff qualification and experience as major constraints for effective research capacity building in the Nigerian engineering education sector. The study concluded by proposing a research capacity building framework for engineers that will assist in integrating research capacity building into the university engineering education curriculum in the country. The framework recommends improved funding of engineering departments, enhancement of university – industry relationship, renewed emphasis on industrial training, improved role of the accreditation bodies and changing of the licensing requirements for Nigerian engineers, as measures that will considerably improve the research capacity of engineering undergraduates. 1 results 1
- The chapter explored best practices in web-based learning and teaching with a view to discover trends and provide valuable information for all in the e-learning environment. It affirms that paradigms in Web-based education have shifted from teacher-centered to learner-centered but basically it remains synchronous or asynchronous. This requires Learning Objects (LOs) to be pedagogically efficient, designed to standard (Multimodal) with designers bearing in mind the varied population and learning styles. LOs are to be personalized thereby creating adaptive content based on learner’s abilities, learning style, level of knowledge and preferences. It is recommended that educators have requisite background knowledge and competencies in technology such as hardware, software, and course management systems etcetera. Instructors, designers and all interested persons should consult a checklist of best practices, for assessing learning object repositories. More so, there is need to incorporate hands-on component into the e-learning environment. The chapter provides Indicators for best practices. 1 results 1
