Onah Ezinne G Ukibe; Blessing C.Ukibe; Victory Ezennia Ukibe; Emmanuel Ifeanyi ObeaguGilbert’s syndrome (GS) is an extensively mild condition characterized by periods of elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood. The bilirubin is an orange yellowish tinted molecule which is produced when red blood cells are broken down and this substance is eliminated from the body only after it undergoes bio-transformation in the liver which converts unconjugated bilirubin to conjugated bilirubin. When the level of unconjugated bilirubin increases beyond a determined point, the bilirubin pigment starts to discolour the cornea of the eyes (making them to appear light yellow) and with higher levels the skin may also turn to yellow (jaundice). Gilbert’s syndrome also known as constitutional hepatic dysfunction and familial non haemolytic jaundice. People with Gilbert’s syndrome have an inherited abnormality that causes reduced production of an enzyme involved in processing of bilirubin. A

- ItemIntegrating Mindfulness in East African School Curricula: Opportunities, Challenges, and Best Practice(Research Invention Journal of Research in Education, 2024) Kenyangi U. I.The integration of mindfulness practices in education has garnered global attention for its potential to enhance cognitive and emotional well-being among students. This paper examines the applicability and benefits of mindfulness-based interventions, such as meditation and yoga, in East African school curricula. The study addresses the current educational challenges in the region, emphasizing the over-reliance on rote learning and the need for fostering creativity and independent thought. Through a review of literature and analysis of global mindfulness programs, the paper explores the potential cognitive and socio-emotional benefits of mindfulness practices for East African students. It also discusses cultural considerations, challenges, and best practices for implementing such programs in a culturally sensitive manner. The findings suggest that while mindfulness practices offer significant benefits, successful integration requires careful adaptation to local cultural contexts and comprehensive teacher training.
- ItemThe Impact of COVID-19 on Education in Kenya: Challenges, Opportunities, and Strategies for Mitigating Learning Loss(Research Invention Journal of Research in Education, 2024) Baingana J. K.The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted educational systems worldwide, with Kenya being no exception. School closures and the transition to remote learning have posed substantial challenges, particularly in regions with limited access to technology. This paper examines the impact of COVID-19 on education in Kenya, highlighting the risks of prolonged learning interruptions on children's academic and future labor market outcomes. It also discusses the Kenyan government's response, including distance learning initiatives and policy interventions aimed at mitigating learning loss. The analysis reveals disparities in access to remote learning and the necessity for targeted strategies to support the most affected students. Recommendations include expanding access to digital resources, enhancing teacher training, and implementing remedial programs to address educational inequities exacerbated by the pandemic.
