“…The study results indicate the positive effects of nutrition education on pupils' knowledge and attitude toward choice of mid‐day meals. This conforms to the results of several prior studies (Anetor et al, 2013; Desmennu & Arulogun, 2019; Eboh & Boye, 2006; Jadgal et al, 2020; Kukoyi & Amosu, 2020; McCullough et al, 2004; Medeiros et al, 2022; Ogunsile, 2021; Wall et al, 2012; Wolfenden et al, 2017). Moreover, it confirms the previous perspective that 30 min of nutritional education per week in primary schools can have numerous positive effects on pupils' health and prosocial behavior (Guenther et al, 2018).…”

“…Olanipekun et al (2012) noted the prevalence of malnutrition among the average school-age children in Ibadan. A quick search of publications using PubMed and Scopus with the following search string "nutrition education intervention in Nigeria schools" "school-based nutrition education in Nigeria" showed seven school-based studies on nutrition education intervention in Nigeria (Anetor et al, 2012(Anetor et al, , 2013Desmennu & Arulogun, 2019;Eboh & Boye, 2006;Ezezika et al, 2018;Ogunsile, 2021;Ogunsile & Ogundele, 2016), whereas a reference from a relevant search manually yielded an additional article (Kukoyi & Amosu, 2020). Most of these studies targeted secondary school pupils while only one (Eboh & Boye, 2006) considered primary school children in the Niger Delta region despite their vulnerability.…”

Children's food choices affect their nutritional health, development, and well‐being. In Nigeria, school lunch is generally unregulated; the food menu is usually at the discretion of individual vendors forcing pupils to make unsupervised food choices. This study examined the effectiveness of 6‐week nutrition education in enhancing pupils' knowledge and attitude on the school mid‐day meal choices in Ibadan, Nigeria. A pre‐test/post‐test, quasi‐experimental study was conducted with 100 pupils in 4th and 5th grades in public primary schools. Multistage sampling was used to select the participants. A nutrition education module and a questionnaire were used to collect the data. Frequency counts and t‐test were used for statistical analysis. Findings revealed the following dietary pattern: 44 of the pupils preferred junk food (mean 41.5, SD = 12.9), 37 were inclined toward protein‐rich food (mean 37.7, SD = 12.5), 32 favored food items dense in carbohydrates (mean 34.4, SD = 9.5), and 11 showed a preference toward food with high vitamins and minerals (mean 28.4, SD = 7.5). Nutrition knowledge (t = 6.4, df = 99, p < .05); (pre‐test: trueX¯ = 20.9 and SD = 1.0; post‐test: trueX¯ = 22.8, SD = 2.8) and attitude toward choice of meal showed statistically significant differences (t = 4.9, df = 99, p < .05; pre‐test: trueX¯ = 13.5 and SD = 6.8; post‐test: trueX¯ = 18.2, SD = 7.2). We recommend that the Ministry of Education should prepare a standard lunch menu for all schools and the school authorities should enforce it through the schools' food vendors.

“…This result was expected because of the level of nutrition education the subjects were exposed to. The result is in consonance with those documented by Anetor, et al [14], Audu [15] and Jaffer, et al [16]. Who observed that there was improvement in knowledge and increase in good nutrition practice after educational interventions.…”

Synthesis of Some Alicyclic Oximes and Study of the Expected Conformational Isomerism

Five alicyclic oximes 1 – 5 have been readily synthesized in moderate to good yields. These oximes were obtained through a reaction between the hydroxylamine hydrochloride and a number of alicyclic ketones (cylobutanone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, cycloheptanone and cyclooctanone) under mild reaction conditions. The spectroscopic data confirmed the formation of the first four oximes 1 – 4 as single conformational isomers. However, the cyclooctanone oxime 5 was obtained as a mixture of two conformational isomers with 81% for the major and only 19% for the minor isomer. Such finding could be an indication for the relationship between the increase of the ring size of the oxime and the raising possibility of the formation of conformational isomers as the flexibility of the ring increases.
