The presence of total petroleum hydrocarbons through randomly collected water and sediment samples of Edagberi River, Niger Delta, Nigeria. four stations were chosen for the study for a period of four months to appreciate the level of pollution caused by total petroleum hydrocarbons in the river. The extraction of the samples were done by the use of Dichloromethane and soxhlet apparatus and then cleaned up for analysis. Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionisation Detector (GC-FID) was used for the analysis of the samples. The results of the analysis revealed that total petroleum hydrocarbon fractions ranged between not detected to 1.7555±0.24 mg/L, and total petroleum hydrocarbons ranged between 5.8351±0.145 to 8.0639±0.806 mg/L in the surface water of the stations and ranged between not detected to 1.9392±0.51 mg/L for the hydrocarbon fractions and the total ranged from 2,4758±0.119 to 10.0085±1.299 mg/L for the months. In the sediments, hydrocarbon fractions ranged between not detected to 6.5225±1.62 mg/Kg, and the total ranged between 16.5242±0.558 to 34.8146±5.01 mg/Kg in the stations and ranged between not detected to 9.4845±2.01 mg/Kg for the hydrocarbon fractions, while the total ranged between 17.6765±1.951 to 30.7649±6.586 mg/Kg in the months. In the surface water GRO ranged between 0.0068±0.00 to 1.0285±0.46 mg/L, DRO; 3.3578±0.043 to 5.8944±0.728 mg/L and Lube oil ranged between 1.1796±0.038 to 2.8968±0.123 mg/L in the stations and in the months, GRO; not detected to 1.3009±0.075 mg/L, DRO; 1.1749±0.044 to 7.2128±1.236 mg/l. In the sediments, GRO; not detected to 5.7613±0.195 mg/Kg, DRO; 11.5140±0.350 to 27.9502±4.777 mg/Kg, Lube oil; 1.1031±0.038 to 4.1914±0.202 mg/Kg in the stations and in the months, GRO; 0.1704±0.001 to 4.0760±0.126 mg/Kg, DRO; 12.9612±1.377 to 26.7806±6.50 mg/Kg and Lube oil; 0.5633±0.002 to4.5449±0.573 mg/Kg. Although the presence of total petroleum hydrocarbons is within acceptable limits of DPR, FME and EGAPSIN in the Edagberi River, adequate steps need to be taken to forestall any impending danger that its presence may pose on the aquatic inhabitants.

Sediment samples were collected from three points along the New Calabar River where effluents were discharged from drainage. The samples were collected in the months of July, August and September, 2019. The sediments were prepared for heavy metals analysis using standard laboratory techniques. The filtrate obtained after digestion of the samples were analyzed for heavy metals concentrations using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The result showed monthly and special variations of heavy metals concentrations. The mean monthly concentrations for the heavy metals showed that the metals were more abundant in the sediment in September, then August and was least in July. Stations variation in concentrations were in the order of Iwofe Jetty > Minipiti > Police Post. The mean concentrations of the metals showed that iron (Fe) > manganese (Mn) > chromium (Cr) > nickel (Ni) > copper (Cu) > lead (Pb) > Cadmium (Cd). The mean values for the metals were 177.1103±12.624, 47.946±1.125, 3.102±0.196, 0.216±0.025, 4.537±0.427, 4.156±0.329 and 2.298±0.221 mg/Kg for Fe, Mn, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr and Cu respectively. All the metals examined were found to be lower than the world average value in shale and limit values in sediment set by DPR, USEPA and EU. The observed concentrations of the examined metals presently do not pose any threat to the environment except that of Cd whose values in some of the stations in the examined months were within the range of world average value in shale. From the foregoing or findings, it is recommended that proper monitoring of the type of effluents discharged into the drainage and subsequently transported to the river be put under surveillance to prevent upsurge of heavy metals increase in the river.

Escherichia coli is a notorious and important bacterium in nosocomial infections with significant morbidity and mortality in healthcare institutions due to multi-drug resistance challenges. In this study, susceptibility pattern of environmental isolates of E. coli was evaluated. Environmental samples from faecal and pond water sources collected from Akure, Ondo State were subjected to bacterial isolation. Escherichia coli was isolated and identified presumptively using eosin methylene blue agar. The susceptibility was evaluated using agar diffusion method according to CLSI guidelines. Fifty none duplicate isolates of E. coli with metallic sheen were obtained of which all were resistant to amoxicillin/clavulanate (AUG) and 6 %, 46 %, 4 %, 2 %, 20 %, 16 % to cefixime, ciprofloxacin, cefuroxime, gentamicin, nitrofurantion and ofloxacin respectively. Multidrug resistance was observed in among the species with 22% against eight antibiotics. The result of this study showed high rates of multidrug resistance of E. coli strains in environmental samples. Hence regular antimicrobial surveillance is essential to minimize the proliferation of resistant E. coli in our environment.

One major environmental challenge faced by the human race today is the issue of global warming, leading to drastic climate change. Rigorous research has linked the emergence of this threat to human activities that have led directly to dangerous levels of accumulation of greenhouse gases (including CO2) in our atmosphere. Of the various options explored to manage the excess CO2 in the atmosphere, capturing and storing the anthropogenic CO2 in underground geologic storage units (like deep saline aquifers, unminable coal seams and depleted oil and gas reservoirs) have presented itself as a more promising option. Within this study, analysis of data (well log and seismic) was done to estimate reservoir capacity and injectivity of reservoirs within the study area with the potential to hold sequestered CO2. Well log correlation led to identification of two predominantly sandstone reservoirs (RESERVOIR I and RESERVOIR II) with a potential to serve as storage site, with average thicknesses of 20.67m and 61.81m, respectively. After estimating reservoir variables (like porosity, water saturation, permeability, potential mass of CO2 to be sequestered, lateral continuity, thickness and depth) alongside variables of the sealing unit (lateral continuity, thickness and depth), preliminary results showed that reservoir-seal units identified in the study area have sufficient capacity and injectivity for purposes of CO2 geo-sequestration.

The study reviews the incidence causes of foodborne diseases and strategies for control in the united kingdom and china base on the result it is clear that the food safety problem in China is practically bigger than it is in UK, China despite the numerous strategies to contained the situation. As it was reported to the Chinese government between 1994-2005, 12,687 foodborne diseases incidents where 289,380 individuals were affected leading to the death of 2,297 individuals, Salmonella and Vibrio parahaemolyticus are responsible for 22.16% and 18.73% respectively.The increase in foodborne deseases outbreaks in China can be linked to the changes in the type of feeding habits, at a point many people change from eating well cooked food to eating raw or partially cooked foods where parthogenic microarganisms are still active and regenarate. Foodsafety is one of the leading challeges in China due to limited investment in surveillance, inter-agency coordination, outbreak investigation and synthesis of data. Lack of functional national laboratory based surveillance system makes it difficult or practically imposible for them to detect widespread foodborne outbreaks or to identify new infections. Comparing this to the UK, things tend to be different in the records of the foodborne outbreak the United kingdom hardly encounter cases of Vibrio parahaemolyticus as the major cause foodborne diseases. In the UK majority of the foodborne diseases is caused by Salmonella, Campylobacter and Listeria monocytogenes. The differences between the situation in the UK and China is assume to be due to feeding habits and other variation in the cultural behaviour of the two countries eating raw food or partially cooked food and improper hygiene is responsible for the higher record in China. Other factors includes overpopulation and inadequate food safety strategies and policy implementation between the two countries.

This study investigated the effect of integrated micro science kits on student’s attitude towards physics practical work in form two students in Kakamega Central sub-county. The study adopted a quasi-experimental research design, randomized pretest – posttest experimental design. Two groups of the form two physics students from 16 secondary schools were assigned to experimental and control groups who participated in the study. The Students Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) was used to collect data for the study. Reliability was tested using Cronbach coefficient alpha to determine the internal consistency of the questionnaire items; A Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha of 0.814 was obtained. The collected data were processed and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The descriptive statistics included means and standard deviations. Inferential statistics used was a t-test and tested at = 0.05 significance level. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 16. The findings indicated that students that used the Micro science kits performed better than those that used the conventional laboratory apparatus in physics practicals. The integration of practical work with the theory is deemed to have contributed to the positive response of attitude detected

Let R be a ring and M be an R-module. We generalized the concepts pure-lifting and pure-supplemented module and introduce weak distribution with fully invariant. We prove every pure g-lifting is pure g-supplemented module. Let M be a weak distribution pure g-supplemented module, then M/A is pure g-supplemented module for every submodule A of M. Let M = M1ΦM2 be a weakly distributive R-module. Then each Mi, iϵ{1, 2}is closed weak g-supplemented if and only if M is closed weak g-supplemented.

The theoretical studies of corrosion inhibition potentials of three polyamine derivatives {2, 3–diaminophenazine (DAPH); 1, 2-diaminoanthraquinone (DAA) and 2, 3-diaminonaphthalene (DAN)} were investigated using Density Functional Theory with RHF/STO-6G* method. Quantum chemical parameters (such as EHOMO, ELUMO, energy gap, ionization energy, electron affinity, global hardness, global softness, electrophilicity index, back donation, absolute electronegativity) were used to predict the corrosion inhibition potentials. Corrosion inhibition potentials increased with increase in EHOMO, absolute electronegativity, global softness, electrophilicity index and decreasing energy gap, ELUMO, global hardness and back donation. It was observed that the predictive corrosion inhibition potentials decreased as follows: DAPH > DAA > DAN. Also, the sites of likely electrophilic attack were located on atoms (nitrogen and oxygen) as shown by high negative mulliken charges of these atoms. Molecular electrostatic potentials (MEPs) also provided further insight into the binding sites of these molecules on the metal-surface.

This paper proposes a data acquisition system that controls an automated farmland. The information received by the sensors used in this project are being sent to the microcontroller from the sensors which processes the data collected and then opens or closes a drip irrigation system valve based on the information received by the microcontroller. The data that is being read by the sensors is also sent to the user through a GSM module, displayed on the liquid crystal display (LCD) and is stored on an memory (SD) card every twenty-five minutes. The developed system increased efficiency on the field where it was implemented. The result was then collected for the period of two (2) weeks and there were variations for different days which were due to climatic conditions. The designed system worked optimally and is fully recommended for both small-scale and large-scale implementations.

The ameliorative effects of Annona muricata water leaf extract on renal impairments caused by induction of melamine were studied in male albino rats. Forty (40) albino rats were randomly distributed into various groups I to V (n=8). Group I (vehicle control) got 7ml/kg b.w of 10% tween 80, Groups II to V got 1000mg/kg body weight of melamine for 10 days. Group III was then given standard reference drug (100mg/kg b.w) allopurinol. While doses of 300 and 500mg/kg b.w of water leaf extracts were administered to Groups IV and V. Phytochemical analysis of water extracts yielded alkaloids (70mg/g), flavonoids (40mg/g), tannins (1.35mg/g), oxalates (0.66mg/g), Saponins (7.90mg/g), Cyanogenic glycosides (1.73mg/g), and phytates (1.34mg/g). Oral acute toxicity test gave zero mortality up to 5000mg/kg b.w for water extracts. Treatment with water extracts at 300mg/kg b.w resulted in significant (P<0.05) decrease in serum creatinine and urea while 500mg/kg b.w only resulted in significant (P<0.05) decrease in creatinine when compared to melamine-induced renal impaired rats that were not treated. The findings imply that renal impairment caused by melamine could be ameliorated at low dose of leaf extract of Annona muricata. Hence the leaf could be effective in the management of renal impairment.

Due to innovative advancement, Smart phones developed into in fact and practically refined gadgets called mobile phones. Giving far reaching abilities, Smart phones are getting progressively well known for the focused on clients as well as all. Malware has been a significant issue on cell phones. General countermeasures to Smart phone malwares are at present restricted to signature-based enemy of infection scanners which proficiently identify known malwares, yet they have genuine inadequacies with new and obscure malwares making a lucky opening for assailants. As Smart phones become a host for delicate information and applications, broadened malware recognition instruments not basing on marks are important com-utilizing with the asset limitations of current cell phones. In this work, we tackle the field of cell phone malware. We give a reasonable clarification on what a cell phone really is. Dynamic and static investigation was utilized in the proposed framework. In the field of dynamic investigation, an observing framework is presented assembling conduct and framework based data that are handled by a distant framework utilizing AI for oddity discovery. In the field of static investigation, we examine its pertinence to the space of various cell phone stages, in particular Symbian OS and Android. This paper adopted the object oriented analysis and design method (OOADM), and utilizations the way to deal with model true cycles, activities and information in an all the more deftly, productively and sensibly way.

Heavy metal concentrations in sampled produced water from seven selected flow stations in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria were investigated. Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) was used to determined heavy metals (Ca, Pb, Na, Mg, K, Mn, Fe, Zn, Ni, Cr, Cu and Cd) concentrations. A total of twenty one (21) representative samples of produced water from seven flow stations (3 each) were collected for the study. The heavy metal mean values are pH is 8.12, Na is 183.6 mg/l, Mg is 8.17 mg/l, Ca is 10.27 mg/l, K is 24.6, Mn is 0.003mg/l, Fe is 0.17mg/l, Zn is 0.323mg/l, Cu is 0.025mg/l, Cd is 0.013mg/l respectively, while Pb, Ni and Cr are Blow detectable limit (BDL) respectively. The heavy metals values where found to be slightly in compliance with both national and international standards. However, produced water should be adequately treatment before been discharge into the environment, to protect the health of the oil and gas worker and the residents of the study area.

This study examines the direct empirical relationship between transformational leadership and economic development among 377 managers in private and public sectors in the Eastern Area. Moreover, the research identifies the significance of financial control as a plausible mediator in the relationship between transformational leadership and economic development. In this study, financial control and transformational leadership, are posited as having an influence on economic development in the Eastern Area. For data analysis and hypothesis testing, Structural Equation Modelling, and several statistical methods such as the maximum likelihood estimate and regression technique were utilized to understand the dimensionality of the variables. This study adopted a systematic random sampling to select managers who work in private and public sectors to conduct the study by using a quantitative method. The managers were selected to answer these questions because of their knowledge and experience which involves in this area. The results show that that transformational leadership (Idealized Influence) positively influenced economic development, while (motivation) was found to have a negative effect on economic development. Also, they show that (Idealized Influence and motivation) positively influenced financial control. Moreover, financial control was found to be a significant mediating factor in the relationship between transformational leadership and economic development in the private and public sectors of the Eastern Area. Transformational leadership was were found to be negative mediating factors in the relationship between financial control and economic development in the private and public sectors of the Eastern Area. This study also contributes to the body of knowledge in regards to providing tools and concepts for educating current and future managers about effective methods to improve their perspective probability or chances of achieving economic development. Based on the study’s findings, transformational leadership and financial control significantly affect economic development, and it is recommended that organizations provide the necessary training to their leaders and managers, and recruiter managers who have skills leadership and management that will contribute to effective leadership, extra effort, satisfaction and achieve economic development, which can lead organizations to acquire and maintaining consistently high economic performances and successfully.

Alcohol consumption, especially in high amounts, has been on the rise globally and Namibia is no exception. The rise thereof and its adverse effects have become a public health concern. Various studies done have indicated that excessive alcohol consumption leads to a great deal of health and social consequences. The main purpose of the study was to determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices of young adults on alcohol use and its effects on their health. The study applied a quantitative approach, using a cross-sectional, descriptive and exploratory design to obtain data from 383 participants aged 18 – 30 years. A cluster random sampling method was employed, data was compiled and analysed using SPSS version 25. Participants were presented with a number of questions to determine their knowledge, attitudes and practices relating to alcohol consumption. Descriptive quantitative statistics were used to analyse and represent demographic information. Frequencies, mean, standard deviation, graphs and tables were used to present the results. The mean age of the respondents was 22.9, ±40.05SD. Majority of respondents were from age 21 -23 (134) both male and female, and females made up majority of respondents in the study from all age groups with 58.5%. This study found that most of the respondents had good knowledge with more than 67.6% describing awareness and dangers of alcohol. The main dangers and adverse effects of alcohol mentioned where; stomach ulcers, liver damge and increased risk of motor vehicle accidents. Furthermore, 58.7% of respondents agreed that alcohol is a drug, and the majority (87.7%) agreed that 10% of road accidents are alcohol-related. However, respondents showed inadequate knowledge regarding the term “standard drink” and the recommended number of standard drinks considered safe weekly. Overall, respondents had good attitude and safe practices towards alcohol consumption and its effects on their health. An average of 71.3% of respondents are in support that clinicians ask about alcohol consumption for each patient visiting a health facility. This study therefor recommends that there is a need to increase knowledge, improve attitudes and maintain practices towards alcohol consumption and its adverse effects among the youth by creating new platforms to increase awareness and intensify alcohol education. This can be be achieved by establishing a multisectoral approach between the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS), Ministry of Education (MoE) and other relevant stakeholders in Namibia.

Belinda, Timothy and Gangly (2017) analyzed beach boys do it too: subculture and commoditized desire in a transnational tourist site in Kerala, south India. This article has highlighted the ways in which the men from global south, in their engagement with women tourists from the global north, negotiate. His complex terrain of local and transnational neoliberal discourses that circumvent their lives in Kerala. Further this study mentioned the ways in which in the young men further participate in processes of commoditization and consumption of intimacy and desire for themselves (Belinda, Timothy, & Gangly 2017). Main Objective was Study of the beach boys and impact of their livelihood on the school children and to recommend the suggestions to create more conducive environment for school children to live. Questionnaire, Observation, Case studies, Interview were used to collect data under the purposes of identify the family background of the school children, identify the social groups in the area, identify the nature of informal tourism sector in the area, get the ideas from the people about the beach boys. It can be concluded majority of persons who work as beach boys are school children and it is concluded that most of their jobs are full of unethical behaviors and illegal drugs. Furthermore it can be concluded that school children’s attraction for beach boys and their career is mainly influenced for their school education. Thus it can also be concluded that this occupation exerts a greater influence on the social and family relationship they have. Sri Lankan Tourist Authority should make a process to identify the persons who are engaged in beach boy job informally and mainly it should be target school children’s and youths in coastal areas and should be prepared legal process and actions for them.

The influence of dietary habits on levels of Pb and essential elements Zn, Fe, Ca and Mg was evaluated on finger nails and scalp hair of exposed and unexposed males in Kenya using AAS. In recent years studies have shown that there are increased human health disorders due to negligible concentration of essential elements in the body. This could be due to the poor eating habits especially exhibited by the male population who in addition work in areas that expose them to lead pollution. Lead levels are known to influence essential element levels. The factors that were found to have significant influence on Pb and essential element levels in hair and nails included: use of glazed ceramics, consumption of canned and highly processed foods, consumption of exposed foods and sources of water among others. The study also observed that high levels of Pb in the finger nail or scalp hair had a negative correlation with Ca and Zn. The results of this study will be used to recommend the use of hair and nails as bio-indicators of essential element status as well as environmental exposure to lead instead of blood.

The technological developments on Renewable Energy Sources have lead to research in control methods to make them useful electricity generators for feeding the loads in Microgrids and Utility grids. The Microgrid with all its Distributed Generators, Battery Energy Storage Systems and Loads has to be stable to supply power to the connected loads, maintaining frequency, voltage at Point of Common Coupling and sharing the load proportional to their capacities. The Microgrid with all its Distributed Energy Resources, which include distributed generators, battery systems and loads along with utility grid connection, constitute a mini power system network. This network has got different states, islanding, transition from grid to island and resynchronization to grid. The two transition states in which Microgrid has to be controlled and make it stable are, grid to island and synchronization back to grid. The different methods based on control techniques of synchronizing controller which monitor voltage, phase and frequency of Microgrid and main grid on either side of Static Switch and brings stability in the system. In this paper these two have been discussed elaborately, which gives fairly a good idea about control and stability of Microgrid.

In this study medium density fiberboard (MDF) were manufactured from water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes), the world’s worst aquatic weeds. The produced fiberboard showed better performance in case of physical and mechanical properties and satisfied ANSI, IS, AS/NZS standards. The thickness swelling and water absorption of the board were 48.41% and 71.03% respectively. Modulus of elasticity (MOE) and Modulus of rupture (MOR) of the board were 3135 MPa and 31.25 MPa respectively. It seemed that the water hyacinth fiberboard may be a cheap, durable and sustainable material that can substitute timber and also reveal a new path of wise utilization of these aggressive weeds simultaneously.

This study applied Autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) models in modelling Nigeria inflation rate. The time plot of the original series showed the present of seasonality and logarithm transformation of return series make it stationary. The return was estimated using both the conditional mean and conditional variance. The study applied both symmetric and asymmetric (GARCH) model that capture the feature of a financial series, such as volatility clustering and leverage effect in modelling the return series of inflation. However, four models were estimated for the conditional mean and seven models were estimated for the conditional variance and asymmetric power autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (APARCH (1,1)) was adopted as the best model for the return series and for the conditional mean follow an ARMA (1,1). Finally, the most adequate model for estimating volatility of the inflation rates is the asymmetric APARCH (1.1) model.
