Tea is commonly consumed in Nigeria. Caffeine, a major constituent in tea, has some beneficial pharmacological properties, but can negatively affect human health if consumed excessively. The objective of the study was to evaluate some physicochemical properties and caffeine content of teas marketed in FCT, Abuja, Nigeria. Ten commercial brands of teas (8 black teas and 2 green teas) were assessed for weight variation, moisture content and pH tests using standard methods. Extraction of caffeine was carried out and the identity determined by thin layer chromatography and melting points, respectively. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for analysis of caffeine was developed, validated, and applied to determine caffeine content in the tea brands. Results of the weight, moisture content and pH tests of the samples ranged from 2.07–2.33 g, 5.65–11.0 % and 4.9–5.5, respectively. Caffeine was isolated from all the samples and showed same Rf value (0.46) with that of the reference standard. Melting points ranged from 236.0–238.5 °C. Caffeine content ranged from 12.25–21.76 mg/g for black teas and 13.35–15.05 mg/g for green teas. The study provides information on the stability, acidity and caffeine content in some commercially available tea brands.

Plectranthus esculentus N.E.Br. (family Lamiaceae) also known as Livingstone potato (vat or rizga in Nigeria), is a dicotyledonous perennial shrub growing up to 2 m tall. While it is cultivated mainly for its edible tubers, the plant is potentially valuable as phytomedicine. Three varieties (vat-long’at, vat-riyom and vat-bebot) are well known among the Berom of Plateau State, Nigeria. The vat-bebot variety (which showed good promise in bioactivity studies) was used in this study. The leaves and tubers were extracted successively with hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol and water. Fractionation of the active ethyl acetate extracts was carried out using open column and preparative High Performance Liquid Chromatography (prep HPLC). This led to the isolation of β-sitosterol and oleanolic acid from the leaves; while 19-dehydroursolic acid and yarumic acid, as well as β-sitosterol were isolated from the tubers. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Electron Impact Mass Spectroscopy (EIMS) were used to characterize isolated compounds. Comparing acquired spectral data of isolated compounds with those from literature helped to confirm the identity of the compounds. The isolation and characterisation of these compounds, from Plecthranthus esculentus, have not been hitherto reported in literature.

Published: May 2022

The birth rate of embryos produced in vitro (IVF) is still lower than that of embryos produced in vivo. Three major steps for the success of the IVF technique are maturation of immature oocytes, fertilization of matured oocytes, and culture of the resulting embryos. Studying mRNA expression in early embryonic development stages is important and can help to assess embryo quality and optimize production protocols in vitro. The current study aimed to determine the expression levels of developmentally important genes in different stages of bovine embryos produced in vitro. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected from bovine ovaries and cultured in synthetic oviduct fluid (SOF) medium for 7 - 9 days. Embryos were collected at the time-points listed above, and mRNA expression of genes involved in pluripotency (OCT4), DNA methylation (DNMT1), apoptosis (BAX), and metabolism (GLUT1) and a heat shock protein (HSP70) was estimated from the 2-cell stage to the blastocyst stage of embryos. The results showed statistically significant differences in the relative abundance (RA) of OCT4, DNMT1, BAX, and GLUT1 gene transcripts among the different stages, whereas there were non-significant differences in the RA of HSP70 between these stages. In conclusion, gene expression levels differ among the developmental stages of embryos produced in vitro, possibly because of the timing of embryonic genome activation (EGA).

Published: May 2022

Introdução: A ginástica laboral (GL) insere o exercício físico no trabalho e apesar dos seus benefícios, a adesão às aulas não é unânime. Objetivo: Identificar o perfil motivacional de praticantes regulares de GL a partir das seis dimensões motivacionais (Controle de Estresse, Saúde, Sociabilidade, Competitividade, Estética e Prazer). Métodos: 389 trabalhadores (setor administrativo e de produção) responderam ao Questionário de Identificação das Variáveis de Controle e o Inventário de Motivação à Prática Regular de Atividades Físicas e Esportivas (IMPRAFE-132). As respostas foram analisadas nas categorias: (1) faixa etária; (2) especificidade das funções; (3) participação nas aulas, utilizando Teste t para amostras independentes (α<0,05). Resultados: O perfil motivacional dos praticantes de GL segue o seguinte ordenamento das dimensões, por ordem de importância: Controle de Estresse, Prazer, Saúde, Sociabilidade, Estética e Competitividade. A comparação entre: (1) faixa etária não demonstrou diferença (p>0,05) para nenhuma das dimensões; (2) a especificidade das funções demonstrou que o setor de produção apresentou valores superiores (p<0,001) ao administrativo em cinco dimensões (Saúde, Sociabilidade, Competitividade, Estética e Prazer); e (3) a participação nas aulas demonstrou diferença (p=0,019) apenas na dimensão Saúde, com valores superiores para aqueles com “mais de 1 ano de prática”. Conclusões: Esses resultados sinalizam que a adesão desses trabalhadores à GL pode mesmo ter se originado da motivação, sendo que, independentemente do setor em que os trabalhadores estão vinculados, da faixa etária ou do tempo de prática de GL, as dimensões que mais os motivam, independente da ordem, são Controle de Estresse, Prazer e Saúde.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: The microcycles are structured to prepare the player competitively, organizing the physical abilities adapted to the soccer reality. Although a training model is a reality approximation, the game itself dictates characteristics to keep in mind. Objective: To compare the physical demands (total distance covered, maximum speed, player load and time/speed bands) that occur during a soccer match, with those that occur in microcycles. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in the Club Deportivo Especializado Independiente del Valle in the "Reserve" category, collecting data with GPS. Results: In the microcycle, 29 players (mean age 20.9 ± 1.1 years) were analyzed, and analyzing 20 players (mean age 21.0 ± 1.0 years) during match. The average total distance covered was greater during the matches (6,540.61 meters) compared to microcycles (3,961.64 meters) (p=0.001). Player load was higher during matches (734.59), and in microcycles (484.90) (p=0.001). Also, Band 4 (13.0-16.9 km/h), 5 (17.0-20.9 km/h), 6 (21.0-24.9 km/h), 7 (25.0-28.9 km/h) and Band 8 (>29.0 km/h) tend to be the most elapsed during matches compared to microcycles (p=0.001). The extremes were the ones that used the last two bands the most. Conclusions: The physical requirements in competition were not fully satisfied by the microcycle load. The number of training sessions, frequency and intensity that players receive only in certain sectors should be increased, without underestimating the player injuring risk.

COVID-19 pandemic announced by World Health Organization in March 2020 raised concern on potential demographic losses. This retrospective study was aimed to analyze the pandemic-related changes in the demographic status of the Ozyorsk urban district located close to the nuclear industry facility — the “Mayak” Production Association. Population changes in the Ozyorsk urban district over the last decade were analyzed based on the open-access demographic data. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demographic status of the Ozyorsk urban district was assessed using the crude overall mortality rates. Comparison of the overall mortality rates has been performed between 2020 and each previous year to assess the deviation of mortality from the forecasted value. The overall mortality rate in 2020 has been found increased significantly by 19%. Excess mortality attributed to the impact of the pandemic was 13.4%. The expected absolute number of excess deaths from COVID-19 being the main cause of death was 60 (4.2%). The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on the demographic status of the Ozyorsk urban district; however, the role of COVID-19-associated deaths in overall mortality was not predominant.

Distance Learning (PJJ) is the best solution to suppress or break the chain of transmission of the covid 19 virus. PJJ itself must be supported by an application that can be used on a cellphone or laptop. One application that is easily accessible and free is Google Classroom (GC). Google Classroom is a learning application issued by Google in learning. Ease of access via computers and mobile phones, is very beneficial for teachers and students. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of information about the experiences of students participating in PJJ using google classroom during the covid 19 pandemic. This study used a qualitative approach with the phenomenological method. Data retrieval using online interviews with two class XII students of Refrigeration and Administration Engineering (TPTU), consisting of one student in first rank and the second being the last ranked student in his class. Researchers found strengths and weaknesses in using the Google Classroom application. The strength of Google Classroom is that it is free, the application is easy to download on any device and has features to support learning. The weakness is that the capacity of the class maker in this case the teacher must be large because student assignments are directly stored on the drive and the interaction between teachers/students only uses writing.

Information is a vital commodity upon which humans depend for daily functioning. The 21st century is marked with tremendous production and use of information leading to information explosion. However, there are arguably those who are not opportune to benefit from the snippet of over-flowing information, and based their decision-making on hearsay and just any available information regardless of their information need. This study explored the situation of such persons information-vulnerable members of the society. The study exalted information and the importance in human life. Furthermore, using the stratified variables of information users, the study explained the vulnerability of members of the society who are missing in the chain of information consumption. The role of the library was explored as well as the means of extending library services to these set of people. In conclusion, the study explained that the role of the librarians extends not only those who have expressed information need, but also those who are unaware that they need information to thrive, it was therefore, concluded that librarians must assume first-responder position to provide carefully planned first-aid information services to those that need them in the society.
A comparative assessment of disruptive behaviors among users in selected university libraries in Kwara State, Nigeria

Published: May 2022

This study engaged the use of a survey research method. The target population for the study consists of 150 staff from various divisions in three selected university libraries in Kwara State. Purposive sampling technique was adopted for this study. This means only staff with experiences on the various accounts of disruptive behaviours that users exhibit in their libraries were considered most suitable to participate in the study. They are the staff in readers’ services, serials, reference units, and electronic library responsible for the caring, security, and custody of library materials and facilities. A structured questionnaire was used to generate information. Before the instrument was used, it went through face validation and reliability test. Using the Cronbach alpha method, the result of the reliability test yielded r=.074. A total of 62 copies of the questionnaire were distributed to selected staff, out of which 57(92%) were completed and retrieved representing a high return rate. The data generated were analyzed with SPSS, using tables, simple percentages, and frequency count. All of the values were calculated such that they enhance a better understanding of the proportions in terms of particular responses. The findings revealed that the most practiced disruptive behaviours exhibited by users in the libraries were incessant noisemaking, theft and mutilation of library materials as well as struggle, fight, and misuse of library space. The perceived factors influencing users into exhibiting disruptive behaviours among others revealed a lot of security breaches as a result of non-installation of CCTV around and in the library for effective surveillances and negligence on the part of both the security personnel and library staff in observing constant supervision. Based on the findings of the study, it is concluded that disruptive behaviours have been identified to have negative impact on the orderly use of the selected university libraries as learning environments. One of the recommendations is that, instead of relying only on manual method of monitoring, the use of electronic surveillance camera also known as closed-circuit television (CCTV) system for close surveillance within and outside the library premises should be considered to effectively monitor the users as a way of being proactive in disruptive behaviours containment.

Published: May 2022

The technique of attaching a name to each component in a picture so that elements with much the same label have certain visual qualities (pixels, colours, values, patterns, and other features of the image) is known as image segmentation. The output of image segmentation is a series of fragments or patterns taken from the image that collectively cover the full picture. After segmenting an image, classification detects classes in an image on the basic of similarities and differences between detected segments. These two tools together are doing wonders in better object detection in images. Big world has big data, and this big data need robust algorithms for understanding images without a human. This paper summarises the techniques of image segmentation and classification based on their efficiency. Finally, a comparison table shows who performed it better.

Over-reliance on oil export as the main source of revenue in Nigeria has necessitated renewed interest in non-oil earners like cocoa which needed adequate inputs financing to achieve increased output. Majority of the literatures in the study did not focus on the effects of micro-finance banks’ intermediation on cocoa farming inputs financing. This study investigated the effects of micro-finance banks’ intermediation on cocoa farming inputs financing in Ondo state Nigeria. Primary data were collected from the three senatorial districts of the state. Since the population of the study was unknown the Cochran (1977) method for estimating sample size was adopted to derive a sample size of 423. Questionnaire was used to elicit responses from 423 cocoa farmers who were sampled randomly from each district. Cocoa farming inputs financing was regressed on micro-finance banks’ credit products, lending methods and loan conditions to answer research questions one, two and three while cocoa farming outputs was regressed on micro-finance banks’ credit and inputs financing to answer research question four. Data were analysed using frequency count, mean, standard deviation and logistics regression. The results from the analysis revealed that micro-finance banks’ credit products had positive and significant effect on cocoa farming inputs financing while micro-finance banks’ lending methods had positive but insignificant effect on cocoa farming inputs. Also, micro-finance banks’ loan conditions were established to have negative and insignificant effect on cocoa farming inputs financing . Jointly the model’s exogenous variables were significant. Furthermore, micro-finance banks’ credit had positive and significant effect on cocoa outputs while cocoa farming inputs financing was insignificant and jointly the independent variables were significant. It was concluded that micro-finance banks’ intermediation activities significantly influence cocoa farming inputs financing and outputs. It was recommended that micro-finance banks should create loan awareness, make loan conditions less stringent, improve loan monitoring and promptly respond to cocoa farmers’ loan request.

As discussões sobre as políticas ambientais na atualidade são temas que têm tomado grandes proporções nos mais diferentes meios. Um dos principais itens discutidos é se o planeta resistirá ao consumismo da população em geral, pois esse consumo de forma inconsciente tem gerado os mais diversos resíduos e o planeta já está ficando pequeno para o descarte deste material. Desta forma, este artigo tem como principal objetivo discutir como a geração de resíduos a partir da produção da borracha pode prejudicar não somente o meio ambiente, mas também a saúde dos trabalhadores de um seringal. Para embasar essa discussão, foram utilizadas diversas ferramentas de buscas para localizar e organizar as informações necessárias e sanar a problemática proposta neste artigo. Quanto à metodologia aplicada, foi qualitativa com pesquisa classificada como exploratória e os procedimentos são classificados como levantamento, pois foi aplicado um questionário junto aos colaboradores que participam da produção da borracha no campo. Entre os resultados alcançados, destaca-se a quantidade de seringais que nunca ou raramente recebem visita de técnicos de usinas (38,7%). Esses dados são impressionantes quando relacionados ao número de colaboradores que nunca ou raramente recebem orientação para o devido descarte das embalagens dos agrotóxicos (74,2%). Conclui-se que a usina é peça fundamental no processo de conscientização dos trabalhadores, para que estes não deixem algum resíduo que possa prejudicar o meio ambiente e sua própria saúde.

The potential of Cassia occidentalis and Jatropha curcas to remediate the heavy metals: Pb, Mn, Zn, Cr and Cu in polluted soil was studied. The seedlings of the plants, Cassia occidentalis and Jatropha curcas were obtained and planted in six pots which were spiked with aqueous solution of each metal. The matured plants were harvested and separated into roots, stem and leaves. Standard operating procedures was used to extract the metals from the plant parts. Results revealed uptake of the metals through the roots, stem and leaves of the plants. Cassia occidentalis and Jatropha curcas grown in the spiked soil showed relatively higher values for the uptake of the analysed metals as compared to those grown on the control soil. The order of metal accumulation in the parts of the plant are: Pb, leaves > root > stem; Mn, roots > leaves > stem; Zn, roots > leaves > stem; Cr, roots > leaves > stem and Cu, leaves > roots > stem, for C. occidentalis, while for J. cucas metals accumulation was found to be in the order: Pb, stem > roots > leaves; Mn, stem > roots > leaves; Zn, roots > stem > leaves; Cr, stem > roots > leaves and Cu, stem > roots > leaves. The Translocation Factor (TF) revealed that Pb (1.52) and Cu (1.41) are highly accumulated in the leaves of C. occidentalis plant, while a TF of Pb (1.53), Mn (1.31), Cr (1.27) and Cu (1.19) was observed in the stem of J. curcas. The high remediation potential observed in this study as occasioned by the Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) value recorded indicates that C. occidentalis and J. curcas have vital characteristics that can be used for phytoextaction of the analysed metals.
