Abstract: The Internet provides information on a variety of subjects including health-related information. Access to Internet health information could potentially promote healthy adolescents' lifestyles. Consequently, this may reduce the number of common illness among the youth and thereby reducing the overall cases at health centers. This study was carried out to examine the use of Internet for seeking health information among Narh-Bita College students, Tema, Ghana. The study was a quantitative cross-sectional survey with a convenience sampling method. The study covered one hundred and sixty-one (161) students. The results revealed that the students were active users of the Internet and majority of them were using the Internet for seeking health information. The findings of the study also showed that the surveyed students considered obtained Internet health information useful. In addition, the participants confirmed that obtaining Internet health information had improved the way they took care of themselves. The results further revealed that health information obtained from the Internet was having influence on the students with regards to their interactions with health care providers and their medical decision-making. The study therefore concludes that students of higher education of learning are active Internet users as well as high consumers of Internet health information despite the fact that advanced searching skills among the sampled students seemed problematic. Hence, the study recommends that electronic searching training sessions should be organized on regular basis for the students in addiction to making e-health information easily accessible to all.Abstract: The Internet provides information on a variety of subjects including health-related information.

Abstract: As in many areas of Mathematics, we need precise definition and some characterization of function space in order to be absolutely clear. This paper seeks to do that and introduces new definitions and notations to aid our study. I also look at reversible processes of proofs and a new type of function spaces. In this scientific paper we have studied new sub of functions, sub of space of these functions. The new function spaces were investigated in this paper. In the present scientific work we have studied the differentiability functions, some differentiability properties of this type function and in particular, characterization of the differentiability spaces for the functions many groups of variables. At the start of this paper, you will see list of markings that are covered in the paper. Then I gave definition of new normed funksion spase. Following you can see several caharacterization of these spaces and proofs of these caracterization too. Finally, there is connection, known as the Fundamental Analysis, between functions and derivatives of these functions which makes the characterization of functions spaces as a practical tool for science and engineering. The function space is also use to solve many interesting problems some scientific branches like economics, finance, informatics and probability.Abstract: As in many areas of Mathematics, we need precise definition and some characterization of function space in order to be absolutely clear.

Abstract: This is a review of the extant literature on inhibitors to the electronic teaching and learning of Library and Information Science (LIS) in Nigerian universities. The university-wide inhibitors as identified by the study are non-provision or inadequacy of: funding, administrative and infrastructural supports, functional ICT laboratories/tools, ICT-compliant teaching staff and standby and responsive technical support for both teachers and students. Library schools’ inhibitors include poor maintenance culture, lack of Internet presence, dedicated bandwidth and active websites while the teaching and learning inhibitors highlighted by the study are (older) teachers’ poor attitude, concerns on how to retain the copyright of their lecture contents, plagiarism and the quality of students’ work; fear of additional workload which may result in stress and burnt-out; lack of freedom or teaching autonomy (as teaching may now take the collaborations of colleagues, computer experts and instructional/graphic designers); teachers’/students’ poor expertise and technology background and nature of course, among others. The author made suggestions on the way forward for an increased and a sustainable integration of ICTs in teaching and learning, especially in this Post-COVID-19 Pandemic Era where physical contact and interactions may need to be reduced to the barest minimum to contain contagious communication and consequent health hazards. This review has implications for library educators, students and educational managers in the universities of other developing countries.Abstract: This is a review of the extant literature on inhibitors to the electronic teaching and learning of Library and Information Science (LIS) in Nigerian universities.

Abstract: Biological pollution is a main problem that threatens the environment because of its great risks that negatively affect human health. Such risk is more increased in closed spaces than open ones. Being closed and insufficiently ventilated environment, libraries are highly liable to biological pollution and they may become fertile environments for the causes of pollution. The present study aims at measuring how extent the biological pollution level is in the King Abdulaziz public library in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and how suitable and safe it is as a workplace to librarians and reading place for visitors. It also reveals the librarians' awareness and understanding of biological pollution and its risks. The study uses case study approach and the experimental method to achieve the objectives and answer the questions it raised. It concludes that King Abdelaziz Public library suffers from high air pollution and books may form the most concentrated colonies of bacteria. It finally recommends that environmental factors that help the growth and reproduction of microbes in the internal library environment must be under control, library pollution level must be measured periodically, laws and regulations that maintain a healthy environment for librarians should be enacted and regulated and must be Implemented an environmental management system that contributes effectively to eliminate pollutionAbstract: Biological pollution is a main problem that threatens the environment because of its great risks that negatively affect human health.
