This study was an action research to improve the orientation and mobility skills of a level 100 student with visual impairment at Wesley College of Education, Kumasi, Ghana. The data was collected through the use of interviews and observations. The sample size for the study was one (1) level 100 student with visual impairment. Data collected for the study was represented on tables and descriptively analysed. The results from the interventional strategies revealed an improvement in the performance of the student based on the skills he was taken through. The problem of fine motor skills which were pre-requisite skills needed for the use of the white cane was addressed after the visually impaired student was taken carefully through the selected activities. The study finally outlined some measures needed to overcome the problem identified on the student and recommended some important measures in training visually impaired persons to be able to move.
Pelvic pain is one of the commonest Out-Patient Department (OPD) cases in most hospital. Comparably, women experience pains in one or two parts of the body which may be due to excess stretch of the muscles, minor or major accidents and old age than men. The main objective of the study was to examine acute pelvic pains among patients in the Effia-Nkwanta and European hospitals in Takoradi. Descriptive survey was employed for the study. The population of the study comprises all patients who were undergoing pelvic ultrasound at Effia-Nkwanta and European hospitals in Takoradi as part of their management plan for pelvic disease or pain. A purposive sampling technique convenience sampling were used to select 400 patients for the study. The study employed the collection of previous pelvic ultrasound reports and reports obtained during the time of the study to obtain the data from the Radiologic Department at select hospitals with the SAL-30 A (Toshiba, Japan) and Philips Clear Vue real time ultrasound machines. The study found out that females are prone to pelvic pain than males, the most common presenting pathologies that cause pelvic pain are uterine fibroid, PID, Ectopic pregnancy, follicular cyst, BPH, Cystitis, colitis and Appendicitis and the organs that are mostly affected in cases of pelvic pain are uterus, ovaries, prostate, colon and bladder. It was therefore recommended that patients should be educated and encouraged to report to the hospital when there is any sign or symptom of pelvic pain.

A purposive sampling technique convenience sampling were used to select 400 patients for the study. Inventory was used as the main instrument for the study for acquisition of data. The study employed the collection of previous pelvic ultrasound reports and reports obtained during the time of the study to obtain the data from the Radiologic Department at select hospitals with the SAL-30 A (Toshiba, Japan) and Philips Clear Vue real time ultrasound machines. Ethical clearance was sought from the UCCIR and research protocol review committee of the imaging board of the allied health sciences of Klintaps University College. Frequencies and percentages were used to analyze data on the research questions. The study found out that females are prone to pelvic pain than males, the most common presenting pathologies that cause pelvic pain are uterine fibroid, PID, Ectopic pregnancy, follicular cyst, BPH, Cystitis, colitis and Appendicitis and the organs that are mostly affected in cases of pelvic pain are uterus, ovaries, prostate, colon and bladder.

The purpose of the study was to find out if order of arrangement of multiple-choice test items significantly affects students’ performance. The study made use of a descriptive research design. The target population for the study was all education students of Valley View University, Ghana from the Oyibi, Takoradi and Kumasi study Centres. The accessible population for the study was all Sandwich education students of Valley View University who registered for the Measurement and Evaluation course for the 2022/2023 academic year and sat for the end of semester examination at Oyibi study centre. The census procedure was used to select the sample for the study. Five sets of 25 multiple-choice test items in Measurement and Evaluation were administered to the 183 students as their end of semester examination. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and three-way ANOVA. The results indicated that order of arrangement of multiple-choice test items has no effect on performance and that the order of arrangement of multiple-choice test items has no effect on performance due to gender and study centre. It therefore recommended that using varying order of arrangement of multiple-choice items should be encouraged as a way of checking examination malpractice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
