Authors: Mokuolu O.A. , Odunaike A. K. , Iji J.O. , Aremu A.S.
Published: November 2022

The management of solid waste continues to be a major challenge in urban areas throughout the world particularly in the rapidly growing cities of the developing world such as Ilorin. This study aimed at identifying the contribution of Solid Wastes to the incessant flooding and its primary cause in Isale koko in Ilorin East Local Government Area of Kwara state. A reconnaissance survey was conducted for the purpose of observing the condition of the engineering structures, the residents, and the magnitude of loss caused after it experienced another episode of flood. Focal point interviews were carried out with use of 100 structured questionnaires, 94 returned for data collection. Solid wastes in drains were quantified and characterized to identify the classes of wastes present in the existing drainages. Descriptive statistical analysis was used on the data. Results showed 86 (91.7%) of the respondents have suffered loss or destruction of properties due to flood, while 8 (8.3%) had their houses destroyed. Of the respondents, 33 (35.2%) dispose their waste once a day, 19 (20.5%) dispose it once in 2 days, and 42 (44.3%) dispose once in a week. Also, 19 (20%) dispose their waste in the public bin, 12 (13%) inside the valley, 9 (9%) by the roadside and 40 (43%) on an open space, 14 (15%) dispose by burning, all ending up in drains during floods. Solid wastes in drains consist mainly plastics (80%), paper (10%), wood (10%), and occupied 20% of drainage volume. It is therefore concluded that uneven channeling and solid wastes in drains contributed to flood in Isale koko.

Authors: Omoare A. , Arum C. , Olanitori L. M.
Published: November 2022

Service life models are a part of critical anchors to achieving sustainable development goals, offering sustainable solutions for infrastructural advancement. In spite of their indisputable usefulness and acceptability in the scientific circle, their real-world deployment is still grossly inadequate. The overall objective of this review is to assess the existing service life prediction models with highlights of their highs and lows. The models identified include deterministic, stochastic and engineering. Areas requiring more intensive research identified include the development of service life database, simplification of the complicated mathematical formats of service life models into simpler more practically-manageable formats, comparative study of expert opinions and computer integrated knowledge, as well as the place of structural elements in service life determination compared to non-structural elements. The study finally notes the areas that will give the required shape and speed of development to service life modeling of reinforced concrete buildings which include the provision of service life database, practical application of service life model for user-guidance, the superiority of service life data from non-destructive testing results to commercial data from manufacturers, placement of experts’ opinions at par with computer integrated knowledge system, and using complete building for service life determination rather than building elements. This review will serve as information base on various service life models which should assist early researchers in the subject area and speed up the application from the rudimentary to more advanced stages within the foreseeable future.

Authors: Shittu A. A. , Bello B. R. , Mohammed Y. D. , Salisu O. I.
Published: November 2022

Studies have shown that the adoption of Public Private Partnership (PPP) system which is expected to enhance the provision of affordable housing with diverse arrays of benefits, have failed to accomplish this task due to hindrances from several risk factors. The study evaluated the risks involved in housing projects procured by PPP in Kebbi State with a view to providing better housing delivery. Data were collected using questionnaire administered on professionals in 25 construction firms registered with the Kebbi State Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Planning, and 15 purposively selected occupiers of PPP housing projects. Analysis of data was undertaken with the use of Mean Item Score (MIS) and Relative Importance Index (RII). The study revealed that the most important reason for the adoption of PPP procured housing projects was “Reduction in the size of inefficient bureaucracy” (RII = 0.87); the most critical risk associated with PPP procured housing projects was “Completion Risks” (MIS = 4.12); the factor leading to the success of PPP housing projects with the highest value was “Stable economic system” (MIS = 4.52; average MIS = 3.96), thus implying that the projects were successful; and Occupiers were satisfied with the conditions surrounding the Gesse Phase I and Phase II PPP Housing Estate in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State (MIS = 3.68 and 3.60 respectively). It was concluded that the risks involved in PPP housing projects in Kebbi State are fairly critical and can be effectively managed by adopting the drivers of the success of PPP projects and preventing the occurrence of the barriers to the success of PPP projects in Kebbi State, Nigeria. The major recommendation from the study was that the Government should focus more attention on implementing the strategies of “Stable economic system”, and “Avoidance of bribery and corruption among contracting parties”, so as to mitigate the barriers to the success of PPP housing projects in Kebbi State, Nigeria.

Introduction: cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death in the world. Despite the reduction in CVD incidence and mortality in the 20th century, the values remain high in the 21st century. In Brazil, there is a gap in population studies that estimated standardized mortality rates from cardiovascular diseases in young adults.
Objective: to assess the trend in mortality from cardiovascular diseases in young adults, according to sex, age group and regions of Brazil.
Methods: ecological time series study using official secondary data from Mortality Information Systems (SIM). All deaths from cardiovascular diseases (I00-I-99) in young adults aged 20-49 years, residing in Brazil, in the period from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2017, were considered. Data were extracted from the Department of Informatics of the SUS (DATASUS). The Prais-Winsten regression model was used and the Annual Percentage Variation (APV) was calculated. All analyzes were performed in STATA 14.0 software.
Results: during the period 2008-2017, 294,232 deaths (8.7%) from cardiovascular disease were identified in young adults aged 20-49 years. A reduction in CVD mortality was identified in all regions of Brazil, except for individuals aged 20-24 years, residing in the Northeast region, which showed an increase (APC: 2.45%) (p<0.05) 2013 -2017. The greatest variation in the mortality trend occurred in the South region (APC: -25.2%). While the smallest change in mortality trend occurred in the Northeast region (APC: -8.8%). The annual decline was smaller in the second quinquennium (2013-2017) compared to the first (2008-2012). Furthermore, the decline was more pronounced among women (APC: -2.51%) (p<0.05) 2008-2012 and in young adults aged 40-44 years (APC: -2.91%) (p<0.05) 2008-2012. Furthermore, the trend in CVD mortality stabilized from 2013 onwards in males (p>0.05).
Conclusion: the results demonstrate a decreasing trend in mortality from Cardiovascular Disease in young adults in Brazil, between 2008-2017. It is concluded that there is inequality in the trend of mortality from CVD according to sex, age group and regions of Brazil.

Authors: Al-Saadi Mohammed , Abbas Ali Hadi , Al-Medhtiy Morteta
Published: November 2022

Each living organism from microbes to primates, has its own immune regime, which differs in its strategies but most of the species are susceptible to infection by pathogens. Nevertheless, camels are resistant to most infections, especially mastitis as well as they can endure the stress in contrast to the cattle, therefore this study has focused on the immune perspective and occurrence of mastitis in the both species as it is very rare in camels. Also, summarized a new insight of utilizing the camel’s milk for the human health and reducing possible zoonotic pathogens. A noticeable difference in the immunity of both species and new trend of therapy have been demonstrated. Further research must be conducted to identify the therapeutic effect of camel’s milk on the human.
Characterisation of ADAMs (protein)of bovine seminal plasma by Mass Spectrometry
Authors: Almhanna Hazem
Published: November 2022

This study has been designed to analyse the secreted and soluble proteins in bovine seminal plasma by mass spectrometry. The majority of these proteins are produced by accessory glands, and partially by testis, epididymis, ductus deferens and vas deferens of male reproductive tract.

Seminal plasma of bovine was collected freshly and isolated after centrifuged and removed the sperm. Non boiled and boiled seminal plasma lysate were run to identify and detect the total proteins, as well as the individual single member of ADAMs protein is determined.

The non-boiled lysate of seminal plasma was displayed diversity of proteins more than boiled sample lysate of seminal plasma.

However, boiled and non-boiled seminal plasma have distinguished several types of ADAMs protein which are included: ADAM10, ADAM9, ADAM7, ADAM15 in non-boiled samples, while boiled lysate of bovine seminal plasma was displayed ADAM10, ADAM9, ADAM28, and ADAM22.

Our finding concluded that bovine seminal plasma is very rich in different types of soluble, cleaved and shed proteins such ADAMs protein which could potentially have a biological and physiological role in protection and interactions of sperm during motility inside female reproductive tract, as it might support it to fertilise the ovum. This protection might be via immunosuppression behaviour or by block specific receptors in female reproductive tract for enhancing sperm motility, and avoid sperm the singling response of immunity.

Published: November 2022

Endometritis is one of the most common infections in buffaloes and occurs several weeks postpartum, causes severe economic losses, including increased open days and calving intervals. This study was aimed to demonstrate the ovarian activity in postpartum buffaloes two months after calving. Moreover, this study was aimed to demonstrate the incidence of endometritis during 21–24 days postpartum in buffaloes.

A total of 72 multiparous buffaloes, 3-10 years and three weeks post-birth were involved in the current research. All the buffaloes were examined weekly from week 3 after birth by routine rectal palpation, ultrasound scanning, and vaginal discharge checking. A 4-value point (0 = bright mucus, 1 = discharge with little pus, 2 = discharge with less than 50% pus discharges, and 3 = with > 50% pus discharges) was depended to classify vaginal discharges of these buffaloes. Cytobrush specimens were dependent to get endometrial samples from these animals. Ten from seventy-two buffaloes (13.8%) suffered from abnormal vaginal discharges grade (1-3) and pointed to acute clinical endometritis (CE), and about (16.6%) 12 of 72 clinically healthy buffaloes had subclinical endometritis (SCE) (≥ 8 % neutrophils). The diameter of the large follicle was significantly (p < 0.05) greater in healthy buffaloes compared with the animals that suffered from clinical and subclinical endometritis in the postpartum period. The size of the corpus luteum was significantly (p < 0.05) lower (7 mm) in clinical endometritis postpartum buffaloes than the healthy and subclinical endometritis buffaloes. In conclusion the ultrasound technique is a precise method to evaluate ovarian activity in postpartum buffaloes.

Authors: Bofars Mansor S.
Published: November 2022

Vitamin C in different in citrus juice samples was investigated; Citrus Limon, Citrus reticulate, Citrus paradise, Citrus sinensis. Iodine titration was utilized for determination of vitamin C in the different samples. Highest amount of vitamin C concentration was observed in Citrus sinensis was 95 mg / 100 ml whereas Citrus reticulate showed low levels 82 mg / 100 ml. The effect of temperature was highest in fresh lemon. In packed juices the same tendency was observed, though the content of vitamin C was found to be less than in fresh juices. Results revealed that; there is a loss of vitamin C content in citrus juice samples as much as the boiled juice Table1. The rate at which vitamin C is lost and depends on the temperature and time methods employed. It has been found out that the hot environment provides the conditions for fast decay of vitamin C content and room environment provides the conditions for slow decay of vitamin C content. In present analyzed samples values are different because of the fact that the composition of content vitamin c depends upon the environmental factors.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Causes of divorce may range from factors as diverse as the personal psychological characteristics of one or both spouses to the stresses of economic hardship and community disintegration. From a larger perspective, the role of divorce in modern societies and its relatively high incidence both flow from the same complex factors that have made good marriages so much more central to people's happiness than through most of the past and deterioration of a marital relationship so much more distressing. Methods: This study adopted a cross-sectional design, in Sylhet city, from 2019 to 2020 and it was mainly quantitative. However, qualitative data were collected from policymakers, i.e. the responsible person in Sylhet city, and discussion and documents. Quantitative data were collected from rickshaw pullers who were divorced by their wives from different areas in Sylhet city. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection from rickshaw pullers. Result: The mean age was found 36.25±SD years. The majority 39(48.8%) rickshaw pullers had primary education. All rickshaw pullers were in low-income group status. Out of the total study population, 47(58.8%) had ≤10 hours of working time, and 33(41.3%) had >10 hours of working time. As multiple responses were accepted, there were rickshaw pullers who reported many types of misconduct from passengers and police. Almost all rickshaw pullers reported that the passengers belittled them. This was closely followed by “scolded” 86.3%, “paid unjust fare” 68.8%, and 48.8% of rickshaw pullers had “quarrel over fare” with passengers. It was evident that 36.3% and 40.0% of rickshaw pullers were “physically assaulted” and compel sitting, holding their ear by the passengers and police respectively. The majority 60(75.0%) of wives divorced their husbands due to domestic violence, 56(70.0%) due to too much conflict and arguing, 52(65.0%) due to substance abuse, 50(62.5%) due to lack of commitment, 48(60.0%) due to ...........

Authors: Amal Zaki , Fouad Laboudi , Abderrazzak Ouanass
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare, idiosyncratic, potentially fatal disease that can present with an atypical clinical picture that refers to subthreshold presentations of NMS. The aim of our study is to shed light on the atypical presentations of neuroleptic malignant syndrome by highlighting the different clinical and biological features of this entity that may be underestimated or confused with a differential diagnosis. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study that retrospectively studied the clinical characteristics and laboratory results of patients with a diagnosis of neuroleptic malignant syndrome; the patients were divided into two groups: typical malignant syndrome and atypical NMS. All data were transferred and analyzed using SPSS 13.0 software. Results: The Amisulpride was the most frequently implicated drug (n = 36.6%), most patients were male (21 males versus 9 females). The majority of patients had psychosis, there were no statistically significant differences in terms of age, clinical and laboratory characteristics, but in the atypical NMS group both gender were affected with comparable rates, more than half of the patients in the atypical NMS group had no rigidity with no fever and no disturbance of consciousness and creatine kinase (CK)values lower than those observed in the typical NMS group. The evolution was favorable in the atypical NMS group compared to the typical NMS group in which one death was noted and 5 patients were transferred to intensive care. Conclusion: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a fatal complication. Clinicians must be vigilant while carefully assessing the features of NMS in a patient on antipsychotics even in the absence of cardinal signs such as rigidity and fever. Furthermore, the need to adopt a spectrum concept of NMS to challenge the underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis of this fatal entity is of paramount importance.

Authors: Maliki Bouchra El , Zinebi A. , Elkartouti A. , Moudden M. K , Lahmadi Khalid
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Gougerot Sjögren's syndrome (GSS) is a connective tissue disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands, and systemic manifestations of an immuno-inflammatory nature. This infiltration is predominant in the salivary and lacrimal glands, responsible for dry mouth and eyes. Clinically, the dry syndrome characteristic of SS may be mild or even absent, and extra glandular systemic manifestations may be the main circumstance in which this connective tissue is discovered. The diagnosis is based on a bundle of arguments, clinical, histological and immunological. SS is characterized by the fairly frequent presence of autoantibodies whose diagnostic value is indisputable, and some of which testify to the activity of the disease. In addition, these autoantibodies may have a correlation with certain organ damage as well as certain progressive forms. The objective of this work is to determine, through a retrospective and comparative study, the epidemiological, clinical and immunological characteristics of patients with primary Gougerot Sjögren's syndrome (SGSp) followed in the internal medicine department of the Military Hospital. Moulay Ismail from Meknes (HMIM), Morocco. Patients and Methods: We report a retrospective study of patients with primary Gougerot-Sjörgen syndrome followed in the internal medicine department of the Moulay Ismail military hospital (Meknes), over a period of 08 years (January 2010 - December 2018).

The coexistence of Crohn's disease (CD) and Takayasu's disease (TD) does not seem to be accidental and does not seem to modify the natural course of the 2 pathologies. The granulomatous character of the inflammatory infiltrate of the vascular wall appears to be the result of the pro-inflammatory effect of several cytokines, such as TNF and the IL-6, -8, -12 and -18 common to both entities. The literature reports more than 40 cases of Takayasu's disease associated with Crohn's disease. However, the association of these two pathologies with autoimmune thyroiditis has never been described before in the literature. In a case hospitalized in the gastroenterology department of the Mohammed VI University Hospital in Marrakech, of a woman with autoimmune thyroiditis treated by total thyroidectomy and hormone replacement therapy, Crohn's disease and Takayasu's disease for which she was treated by antiTNF treatment and the evolution was marked by a good clinical response.

Background: Multiple pregnancies are prone to be associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcome. The incidence of multiple pregnancies has shown a significant increase over the last decades. Aim of the Study: This study aimed to describe the maternal and perinatal outcomes in multiple pregnancies delivered in a tertiary care hospital, Bangladesh. Methods: This was a prospective observational study; 23 patients were enrolled and analyzed. The study conducted with 23 women with twin pregnancies, over 2 year’s months from January 2020 December 2021 in the department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Chittagong Medical College and Hospital, Chittagong, Bangladesh. Result: Out of 23 cases, 8 patients had intrapartum complications like PPH, mal-presentation, cord prolapse, low-lying placenta, and placental abruption. In this, 4(23.53%) had mal-presentation, and only one had PPH. These intrapartum complications were also categorized according to their chronicity. Mal presentations were seen in 23.53% of DCDA and 33.3% of MCDA with p=0.47. Both were not statistically significant, as shown in Table 4. These twin-specific complications were noted according to their chronicity. Discordant twin was seen in 11.76% of DCDA and 16.67% MCDA. Single IUD in 7.9% of DCDA. The complications and outcomes of the study population; more than 65% of patients needed NICU. In our study, we noted 4 perinatal death caused by intrauterine death, twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, birth asphyxia, and respiratory distress. Conclusion: Majority of the multiple pregnancy is high risk one. So, all multiple pregnancies need early diagnosis, adequate antenatal, intra-natal and post-partum care to improve the outcome and should have mandatory hospital delivery.

Intracranial tumours accounted for 84% and spinal cord tumours were 16%. The age distribution of the patients with CNS tumours ranged from 21 days to 78 years with mean age of 47.16 years. Males (59%) were commonly affected with male to female ratio of 1.44:1. Adults (93%) were more commonly affected than paediatric age group. In the study period from July 2014 to July 2016, a total of 7800 specimens were received in histopathology, among which 100 CNS tumours were encountered. Majority of them were in WHO grade I (66.67%). Local invasion and recurrence was seen in 22.2% (4 cases each). Metastasis (6 cases) (6%) was equally distributed between brain (50%) and spinal cord (50%).They were WHO Grade IV. The primary of the metastatic tumours to brain encountered were from breast, renal cell carcinoma and colon. Metastasis to spinal cord was from lung carcinoma and plasmacytoma. 20% were WHO Grade II and remaining 7.33% was WHO Grade III. Conclusion: The incidence of metastasis to CNS has been increasing in recent years. A general awareness of clinical manifestations of CNS tumours, along with usage of advanced radiological techniques lead to early precise diagnosis and proper management.

Published: November 2022

The objective of this article is to analyse the social logic behind the use of mediation in the transfer of funds by first-generation Burkinabé transmigrants using mobile financial services. The qualitative methodology was favoured, allowing for individual interviews and a focus group discussion with first and second generation Burkinabe transmigrants living in Méagui (southwestern Côte d'Ivoire). This study reveals that trust, technological competence/confidence and the place of second generation transmigrants in the diaspora community studied, as well as perceptions of e-money institutions, are at the origin of the use of third party mediation when first generation transmigrants transfer funds from mobile financial services. Moreover, the recourse to mediation during the use of the said services for transnational transfers reflects the complexity of the process of socialisation of individuals in the digital age, with in particular a backward transmission of knowledge and know-how in the use of information and communication technologies.

Authors: Soumahoro Kando Amedee
Published: November 2022

This paper uses a qualitative approach to analyze the 'fear' of the COVID-19 pandemic in different socio- cultural contexts within communities in Abidjan. Fear-related behavior is a crucial challenge for public policy. Using qualitative methods such as participant observation, interviews with local actors on fear in urban and rural areas. It shows that fear is based on mass media propaganda about the seriousness of the disease and its disruptive effects on the social order that the ideologies of "fear" oscillate between mistrust and resilience of populations leading to a recomposition of social relations. Ultimately, the management of the fear of covid-19 is a perception of a double perversity.

Shoulder dislocation reflects a complete loss of contact between the humeral head and the glenoid cavity. It is a frequent pathology and is the most common dislocation in the body. More frequent in young adults with a clear male predominance, which can lead to a socio-professional and sporting handicap. The diagnosis of glenohumeral instability is most often clinical. Standard radiography is sufficient for bone assessment. Arthroscanner and arthro-irm are currently the most effective techniques for confirming the diagnosis, assessing the extent and severity of the lesions, and searching for associated lesions. The treatment is surgical, the LATARJET operation remains the gold standard of treatment of instability of the shoulder. It allows the recovery of joint mobility as well as satisfactory joint stability.
