Background Depression is a common psychological disorder in women with infertility, which causes significant morbidity and mortality. Little attention is currently given to depression by health care providers who manage infertility, and there is a scarcity of studies on depression among women with infertility in northern Nigeria. Objective This study aimed at assessing the association between family functionality, sociodemographic factors, and depression severity in women with infertility attending a gynecology clinic in northwest Nigeria. Methods This was a cross-sectional study involving 415 females systematically selected from women with infertility attending a gynecology clinic in a Nigerian hospital. They were interviewed using Beck's Depression Inventory and Family APGAR (Adaptability, Partnership, Growth, Affection, Resolve) questionnaires over 12 weeks. Data regarding participants' sociodemographic and infertility characteristics were also collected. The association between categorical variables was assessed using the chi-square or Fisher's exact test. The determinants of depression severity were assessed using logistic regression analysis. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered significant. Results The mean age of respondents was 30.9 ± 6.6 years; the prevalence of depression was 44.6% (32.5% were of mild severity). Most families (73.5%) were highly functional. Association between family functionality and depression severity was not statistically significant (chi-square =5.143, p = 0.259). Respondents' religion (chi-square = 10.813, p = 0.029), education (chi-square = 36.835, p = 0.001), and monthly income (chi-square = 9.261, p = 0.010) were associated with depression severity. Being a Muslim (odds ratio [OR] = 2.9, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.8–5.6, p = 0.001) and having formal education (OR = 10.2, 95% CI = 4.7–16.5, p = 0.001) were determinants of depression severity. Conclusion The prevalence of depression was high among the respondents. Although no association was found between family functionality and depression severity, respondents who are Muslims or had formal education were at increased risk of depression. Therefore, a high index of suspicion for depression and holistic care is required to manage women with infertility.

The study uncovered that a substantial percentage of factory workers had sustained MSIs. Body ache/discomfort in the low back region was the most common injury sustained among the subjects surveyed.

Background:Frenkel's ambulatory activity has been routinely employed by physiotherapists for rehabilitation of gait coordination, however, its immediate influence on blood pressure and heart rate has not been investigated. Objective To investigate the acute effect of Frenkel's ambulatory activity on blood pressure and heart rate of chronic hemiparetic stroke survivors. Method Using a comparative study design, 60 chronic hemiparetic stroke survivors of varying onset of stroke, ≤6, >6-11 and ≥12 months were subjected to a 2-minute Frenkel's ambulatory activity on marked footsteps (from standard adult described footsteps). Participants were assessed for both blood pressure and heart rate before and after the Frenkel's ambulatory activity. Results Blood pressure and heart rate significantly increased (p<0.05) following Frenkel's ambulatory activity in all the 3 categories of stroke onset above baseline. However, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) across the onsets in both blood pressure and heart rate responses. ConclusionThe outcome of this study indicated that Frenkel's ambulatory activity has the propensity to increase blood pressure and heart rate of hemiparetic stroke survivors irrespective of the onset of stroke. We recommend a pre, within and post-activity monitoring of stroke survivors while subjecting them to Frenkel's ambulatory activity.

This paper gives elaborate descriptions on the implementation of two routing protocols namely: Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). It also covers Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLMS) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, Hypertext Transfer Protocol, and Domain Name Server configurations. With dynamic routing protocols, a router has the ability to determine which path to select when routing a packet this is achieved through a frequent update of the routing table by the router using information provided by different networks in a giving set up about their locations. The paper also demonstrates how IP addresses are conserved using Variable Length Subnet Masking.

Abstrak Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) adalah teknik jaringan yang mampu mengelola sekelompok pengguna yang berada dalam satu basis data VLAN, dimana grup atau grup VLAN ini akan disusun berdasarkan switchport yang ada pada sebuah switch pada penelitian ini menggunakan Cisco perangkat sebagai perangkat jaringan. Implementasi topologi jaringan ini menggunakan Cisco packet tracer sebagai simulator pembuatan Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). Switch yang digunakan adalah switch dengan model 2950-24 dimana switch ini memiliki sejumlah port FastEthernet 0/1 hingga port FastEthernet 0/24 atau disebut Fa0/1 hingga a0/24 dengan perangkat laptop yang digunakan untuk Virtual local area network ( VLAN) sebanyak delapan laptop yang terdiri dari tiga departemen yaitu tiga laptop untuk departemen SDM, tiga laptop untuk departemen teknologi informasi dan dua laptop untuk departemen teknik. untuk berbagi komunikasi antar k grup pengguna sehingga yang tidak termasuk dalam grup Virtual Area Network (VLAN) yang dibuat tidak dapat berkomunikasi sehingga distribusi batasan distribusi data dapat dengan mudah dilindungi   Kata kunci: Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), alamat IP, subnetmask, jaringan                       komputer   Abstract Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network technique that is able to manage a group of users who are in one VLAN database, where this group or VLAN group will be arranged based on the switchport that is on a switch in this study using Cisco devices as network devices. The implementation of this network topology uses a Cisco packet tracer as a simulator for making a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). The switch used is a switch with a 2950-24 model where this switch has a number of FastEthernet ports 0/1 to FastEthernet ports 0/24 or called Fa0/1 up to a0/24 with laptop devices used for Virtual local area network (VLAN) as many as eight laptops consisting of three departments, namely three laptops for the HR department, three laptops for the information technology department and two laptops for the engineering department. to share communication between k group of users so that those who are not included in the Virtual Area Network (VLAN) group created cannot communicate so that the distribution of data distribution restrictions can be easily protected Keywords: Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), IP address, subnetmask, computer network
