This detailed analysis examines the success of neurofeedback as a treatment for learning disorders. Learning disabilities vary widely, which manifests in different educational outcomes, as well as in the strengths and weaknesses in processing information. Neurofeedback, a technological method, is utilized for individuals requiring psychological therapy and the rehabilitation of perceptual and cognitive functions, or for those who are struggling mentally, offering significant benefits. This study compiles and assesses the current research on how neurofeedback techniques influence various learning disabilities. The findings suggest that neurofeedback therapy has been beneficial in enhancing the abilities of children with learning challenges. Likewise, this study looks into the efficacy, limitations, and future prospects of neurofeedback as a method for tackling learning difficulties. According to the results, Cognitive Rehabilitation (CR) was found to be more effective in improving Sustained Attention (SA) than neurofeedback (NFB), with significant statistical evidence (p<0.001). Moreover, neurofeedback interventions have shown positive effects on the performance of primary school children with learning disabilities, as measured by Wechsler's tests (P<0.05). The review also covers the implications for upcoming research and the possible applications in both educational and clinical environments.

The purpose of this study is to explore the student perceptions of women's presidency within the Forum for National and International Awareness (FINA), which is the highest student governing body at Sherubtse College. This research will help to clarify the existing structure of the president at Sherubtse College. A purposeful non-random sampling strategy will be used to collect and analyze data, with a total of six selected students. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted using Facebook Messenger as the medium for data collection. While taking notes, the replies will be captured using Messenger's Audio function. The captured data will be meticulously analyzed using open coding, axial coding, and selective coding approaches. The existence of discrimination within students' views towards voting a woman president for FINA is expected to be determined through this extensive investigation. Furthermore, the study intends to offer insight on how common conventional views about women's inadequacy in leadership roles influence students' decision-making mentality, particularly when it comes to choose women to the leadership positions.

Emergency preparedness requires actions from both institutions and individuals. Like a weak link in a chain, individual preparedness, behaviors, and predisposition to play an essential role in emergencies determine the level of effectiveness of such preparedness. This study aimed to assess the attitude, behavior, and knowledge of religious organizations (congregations) on emergency preparedness. The study was conducted using a cross-sectional research design, and primary data was collected with a questionnaire which was analyzed through descriptive statistics. Four hundred respondents (congregants) were sampled across the zonal headquarters of 5 major churches within the Port Harcourt metropolis. The result revealed that the significant source of information about emergency preparedness was television (38.25%), and churches are not prepared for an emergency (56.0%).Furthermore, most respondents never experienced any emergency (67.75%); however, perceived that churches are doing what they can to prevent emergency events around them (72.25%). The respondents indicated adequate knowledge about emergencies (66.5%) and perceived the collapse of a church building (26.75%) as the most common emergency associated with churches due to uncontrolled crowds (40.25%). The respondents (30.25%) revealed that discussing possible emergencies in the church is the most effective measure of emergency preparedness. In conclusion, individual emergency preparedness can be improved through changing attitudes and knowledge, which can be developed through continuous dissemination of information and engaging congregants in disaster drills and exercise to improve their experience.
