“…Simulations have become a useful tool for the mathematical modeling of many natural systems in physics, astrophysics, climatology, chemistry and biology, human systems in economics, psychology, social science and engineering. It can be used to explore and gain new insights into the new technology and to estimate the performance of systems too complex for analytical solutions [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. This study aims to introduce a newly formed simulation modeling in the branch of nutritional mathematics in estimating ideal body mass in human samples in different populations [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] for sustaining healthy population status in different countries.…”

Estimating ideal body mass in adult human samples in a specific geographic level is vital for effective health promotion programmes in order to seeking better health services. Lack of nutritional knowledge and information gap on various health and nutritional tools affect the ability of national and international agencies to manage serious health related risks in the community. A solution to this challenge would be to develop a method that simulates reliable statistics on assessing the ideal body mass in adult human samples. This paper provides a significant appraisal of the biophysical methodologies for estimating ideal body mass to mitigate health problems of samples at different sites. There is no procedure in this ground that can be used to assume the ideal body mass in human samples in health physics and nutritional mathematics. The physical educators are often in confusion to direct the advice of taking proper exercise which would be benificial for the learners' health. The aim of this study is making a dot over these ongoing hesitations simulating a biophysical modeling in nutrition counseling to sustain long term sound health. The study findings is the mathematical equation (4) that can be a superb modeling as an instructive tool in physical education.

Begging enterprise: A growing trend among Igbo Christians in Nsukka Urban

It is obvious that the practice of begging is growing exponentially and changing into various forms mostly among the Christians in the Nsukka area. Although begging has long been in existence in the Nsukka area, it has never been encouraged. Financial assistance from family and relatives usually prevents an indigent person from begging in the street. Giving alms to the poor is regarded as a religious duty by many people. But, some beggars take advantage of people’s sympathy and thus the practice of begging is encouraged. Many scholars have written about the increase in the number of beggars in Igboland and attributed it to a number of factors such as poverty and ill health. Some see it as an indictment on government. However, this present study attributes the increase in the number of beggars in Nsukka’s cultural area to religion, laziness as against hard work, individualism as against communalism, social disorganisation because of urbanisation. These beggars who do nothing other than to beg are less productive, and consequently contribute nothing to the nation’s economy. They are a nuisance in the society, as some engage in all kinds of immoral activities that degrade human society. This study therefore attempts to explore the growing trend of begging among Igbo Christians in Nsukka Urban. It aims to identify the different dimensions of begging and the reasons behind this practice. A qualitative phenomenological method was employed in this study.Contribution: The findings of this study revealed that poverty is not the cause of begging among Christians in Nsukka but rather laziness, individualism, and religious mendicancy, among others. It recommends that the Igbo people should go back to the values that bind them together.
