Six ways to get a grip on developing reflexivity statements.

Qualitative researchers have underscored the value and importance of being reflexive in the research process, yet existing guidelines or checklists on how to practically address reflexivity are often scant and scattered across studies. In this scholarly perspective, we review, analyse, and present an overview of conceptions of reflexivity. Further, we offer practical guidelines for addressing and developing reflexivity statements in qualitative research.

An exploration of women's lived experiences of care and support following perinatal death in South-Western Nigeria: A hermeneutic phenomenological study.

Background: Perinatal death results in long-lasting intense grief for bereaved mothers with a potential to negatively impact on their short- and long-term outcomes and quality of life if inadequately supported in coping with and managing their experience.

Aim: This study aimed at exploring the lived experience of women, of care and support following perinatal death in South-Western, Nigeria.

Methods: A qualitative methodology using Heideggerian phenomenology was used.

Women's experiences of care and support following perinatal death in high burden countries: A metasynthesis.

Problem: The experiences of women in low and middle-income countries following perinatal death remains difficult and challenging, thereby increasing their susceptibility to negative psychological impact particularly with insufficient bereavement care and support.

Background: Perinatal death invariably brings intense grief which significantly impacts women, and requires adequate bereavement care to limit negative outcomes in the short and long-term.

Aim: To develop deeper understanding of women's experience of care and support following perinatal death in high burden settings.

Influence of light and spawn quantity on the growth of Nigerian mushroom Pleurotus tuber-regium.

The effects of light and quantity of spawn on the sporophore and sclerotial yields of Pleurotus tuber-regium, cultivated on cotton wastes, rice straw, cocoyam peel, comcob, groundnut shell and sawdusts of Mansonia altissima, Khaya ivorensis and Boscia angustifolia were observed. The organism had sporophore and sclerotial yield values of 36.8 and 27.

Biodegradation of agro-industrial wastes by a edible mushroom Pleurotus tuber-regium (Fr.).

When Pleurotus tuber-regium was cultivated on cotton waste, rice straw, cocoyam peels and sawdusts of Mansonia altissima, Boscia angustifolia and Khaya ivorensis, the highest crude protein, crude fat and carbohydrate contents in sporophores were 29.4 (M. altissima) , 1.

Enzyme activities of Pleurotustuber-regium (Fries) Singer, cultivated on selected agricultural wastes.

Studies were carried out on the enzyme activities of Pleurotus tuber-regium fruitbodies and sclerotia cultivated in various agro-wastes. Higher activities of proteinase, total amylase, and glucose-6-phosphatase were observed in the sporophores compared to the sclerotia. Cellulase, carboxymethylcellulase and lipase values were higher in fruitbodies grown on cotton waste, sawdust of Khaya ivorensis and rice straw (2.
