The study identified the levels of stress among working mothers in government tertiary institutions in Anambra State. One research questions and one hypothesis were adopted in the study. Proportionate stratified random sampling was used to select 630 working mothers out of 2911 working mothers in the five government tertiary institutions in Anambra State. The instrument used for data collection was questionnaire tagged levels of stress among working mothers in tertiary institutions in Anambra State (LSAWMTAS). Range of score was used to answer the research question while t-test was used for the hypothesis at 0.05 degree of significant. Split half was used to test the reliability and 0,79 was got as reliability coefficient. The result revealed that the level of stress of 144 working mothers in tertiary institutions in Anambra State is high, the level of stress of non teaching working mothers is higher than that of teaching working mothers. Among the recommendations made were; the management of tertiary institution should recruit more staff in order to reduce work load on staff. Management of tertiary institutions should create compulsory leave for their staff in order to reduce stress. Guidance counsellors should organize group counselling to educate working mothers on how to cope with their stress and also introduce stress adjustment strategies

This study examines determinants of income inequality among cooperative farmers in Anambra State. The study, modeled variables like farmers efficiency, technology, market proximity, credit obtained, farm size, soil fertility, crop type, input supply and agric extension services using descriptive and inferential statistics. The population of this study was made up of 298 members of selected cooperative societies in Anambra State and a sample of 171 was determined for the study using Taro Yamane formula. A structured questionnaire was administered to 171 respondents but only 115 responded to the questionnaire. The data collected using the questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that apart from market proximity which was not significant, all other factors farmers' efficiency, technology, credit obtained, farm size, soil fertility, crop type, input supply and agric extension services contributed significantly to the farmers' income. This study therefore recommends that The government should carry out a public enlightenment campaign on the potentials of agricultural cooperatives as sustainable approach for reducing income inequality through synergy and emphasis should be placed more on cooperative education as requirement for growth and development since most of the people in the target areas has low educational background. The agricultural cooperative subsector should be adequately financed to help improve the farmers' income and also reduce income inequality. Agricultural technology transfer through extension services should be encouraged to help create awareness and increase adoption of better ways farming so as to increase the farmers' income and reduce income inequality among others.

The study is on public administration and public safety in Anambra State. The essence is to examine how public safety is influenced by public administration. The study was necessitated by the poor nature of public safety in the study area. A quantitative research design was used for the study. Three basic objectives guided the study and accordingly three research questions were raised. The population consised of citizens residing in Awka town the capital of Anambra state. A sample of 150 respondents was drawn using a print questionnaire titled Public Administration and Public Safety Questionnaire (PAPUSQ). The questionnaire Cronbach-Alpha reliability index was 0.82 which is indicative of high reliability and simple percentage was used to analyse the three research questions that guide the study with 50% as bench mark. Results indicated that nature of public safety in the state is rather poor. Many citizens do not enjoy the dividends of good governance. In the same manner, the study discovered that one of ways to improve public administration in order to forestall public safety is by eradication of corruption, prosecution of corrupt public administrators among others. It was suggested that the masses should elect only credible persons to hold public offices. Also, there is need to put systems and structures in place to checkmate the excesses of public administrators. The study therefore concluded that public administration has a critical role to play in ensuring public safety.

Background: Mosquitoes are small slender bodied insects that feed on man and other animals for blood meals. They are widely distributed in both tropical and temperate regions of the world. Mosquitoes are strongly attracted to humans and are especially adapted to breeding in places created by human activities. Methods: Survey of mosquito larvae in both open and closed habitats was carried out in Aguleri between the months of March and June, 2014. Random sampling method was used in selecting the communities surveyed as well as the identified breeding sites in the study area. Collection of mosquito larvae was done with either the use of larval net or dipper method depending on the nature of the habitat encountered. Open habitats where mosquito larvae were collected included ground pools, gutter, domestic water containers, other containers that can hold water and banks of rivers and streams. The closed habitats where mosquito larvae were collected included toilets/bathroom floors and broken septic tanks. Results: A total of four hundred and twenty nine mosquito larvae belonging to three different genera were identified in the study area. They included: Aedes aegypti (39.9%), Ae. albopictus (19.6%), Ae. circumlutoelus (1.2%), Anopheles gambiae (18.9%), An. funestus (1.4%), An. moucheti (1.6%), Culex quinquefasciatus (13.1%) and Cx. tigripes (4.4%). In open larval habitat, the three genera of mosquitoes identified were present whereas in the closed habitat, only two genera (Culex and Aedes) were present. Also, all the eight different species of mosquito collected were found in the open larval habitat; only two species (Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus) were identified in the closed habitat. The equitability or evenness of individuals' distributions among the three genera collected in the survey is relatively high (ED=0.75). However the distribution of the species is not even (ED=0.49). Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus tend to be more abundant and use almost all the breeding sites encountered. Conclusion: This is a useful indicator of the risk of mosquito borne diseases transmission in the study area. The information provided by this research would be helpful in planning and implementation of larval control approach as a method of mosquito control. This is because the breeding sites identified favour the survival of one or more species of mosquito.

This study was conducted among smallhoder rice farmers in the Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria, over the 1987-88 crop year to determine ways in which rice production might be increased through more efficient use of farming ressources. A total of 45 rice farmers was randomly selected for the study, in such a way as to include an equal number of irrigated, swamp, and upland rice farmers. Survey results indicate that land scarcity, financial constraints, unfavorable rainfall patterns, and the inefficient distribution of irrigation water limited the production of rice during the survey period

This study applies geospatial information techniques in the study of the influence of African traditional religion on biodiversity conservation in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. Satellite images of the sacred forests captured along with their surrounding environment constitute spatial data sets which were analyzed for land use/land cover changes (LULCC). Results showed that vegetal covers around Udude Onogu and Olio-olio forest shrines decreased by 10.66% and 30.73%, respectively, while built-up areas of the same environment grew by 15.93% and 7.45% between 1980 and 2020. Findings show that the African traditional religious belief system influences biodiversity conservation.

The study evaluated the determinants of farmers' inclination towards membership of cooperative societies in Anambra State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study determined the influence of farmer socio economic background the influence of farmer awareness of agricultural cooperative benefits and influence of farm input, credit, and marketed farm produce on cooperative membership inclination. Primary data were obtained from a sample of 368 farmers from four communities in the four agricultural zones of Anambra State. Descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution tables, percentages, mean and standard deviation were employed to present data. Multiple regression analysis was adopted in the analysts and tests of three formulated hypotheses. The study outcome revealed that farmer's socio economic background had a significant influence on cooperative membership inclination F ratio of 28.502 was Significant@ 0.000 farmer's awareness of benefits of agricultural cooperatives constitutes significant influence on cooperative membership inclination F ratio of 900.231 was Significant@ 0.000 quantum of farm input, credit, and marketed farm crops by farmer constitutes significant influence on cooperative membership inclination F ratio of 5.354 was Significant @ 0.001 . The study recommends, among others, that government can improve the awareness about the benefits of agricultural cooperatives in the area region by giving more focus to knowledge and awareness based instruments like education, information center, rural associations, communication services and roads.
