Published: September 2023

Leaf powders of African curry, Ocimum gratisstmum L and African bush tea, Hyptis suaveolens Poit, were evaluated for their efficacy against the cowpea bruchid Callosobruchus maculatus (F) on stored cowpea. O. gratissimum at 2.5g, 5.0g and 10.0g per 100g cowpea grains effected 46.7%,46.7% and 65. 0% adult bruchid mortality respectively within 24 hours; 73.3% , 75.0% and 80%. 0% adult bruchid mortality respectively within 48 hours post treatment. Similar application of Hyptis suaveolens powder had 1.7% , 3.3% and 8.3% adult beetle mortality respectively in 24 hours, 15.0%, 26.7% and 38.3 % mortality respectively in 48 hours. O. gratissimum significantly (P<0.01) reduced oviposition and progeny development in all treatment levels and therefore protected cowpea grains better than H. suaveolens. The seed coat colour, texture, taste and grain viability were not affected by the treatments after three months of storage with these plant powders.

Published: September 2023

Under laboratory conditions (28 ± 3°C and 70 ± 5% r.h.) in Akure, Nigeria, powders of different particle sizes (212 um, 300 um, 500 um and 1 mm, respectively) made from ripe Piper guineense Schum and Thonn fruits, were evaluated at five rates of application (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.50 g/20 g of seed), for insecticidal action against Callosobruchus maculatus (F.), a major storage pest of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. Treatments involved introducing freshly emerged beetles onto protected and unprotected cowpea seeds in airtight glass tubes or plastic plates. Irrespective of particle size of powder, all rates of application significantly reduced (P < 0.05) oviposition and adult emergence of C. maculatus compared with the control. Similarly, all introduced freshly emerged adult beetles were killed within 36 hours. The susceptibility of adult beetles to P. guineense powder increased significantly with the age of the beetle. Powder of particle size of 212 um was always more potent than powder of particle size of 1mm.

Oviposited eggs of Monoychellus tanajoa and Oligonychus gossypii were incubated in groups of thirty on young or mature leaves of cassava. Upon hatching, the larvae were restricted to feed on either the young or mature leaves of cassava plants. Total development (egg – adult) were 8.67 days and 9.55 days for M. tanajoa fed young and mature leaves respectively while it was 8.91 and 8.85 days for O. gossypii fed young and mature leaves respectively. Mean fecundity of female M. tanajoa fed young leaves was 16.85 eggs per female while those females fed mature leaves was 12.34 eggs per female. On the other hand, female O. gossypii fed mature leaves produced 16.68 eggs per female. The differences in these values were statistically significant at P <0.05 Longevity of the female mites was also affected by the age of the leaves being 8.04 days and 6.16 days for M. tanajoa fed young and mature leaves respectively. O. gossypii on the other hand lived for 7.16 days and 8.64 days when fed young and mature leaves respectively

Authors: OFUYA T.I. , ADEDUNTAN S.A.
Published: September 2023

The cowpea seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) damages stored seeds of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp., an important protein source in human diet in Sub-Saharan West Africa. A major approach to the control of beetle is use of seed resistance. The effects of seed resistance in cowpea and larval competition on the development and survival of C. maculatus had not been .adequately elucidated. In this study; a known susceptible (Ife Brown) and three resistant varieties of cowpea (IT84S-2246-4, IT85F-2205 and IT90K-391) were subjected to three different levels of larval infestation (one, five and ten larvae per seed) at 30 ± l°e and 50 ± 10% relative humidity. A beetle colony derived from infested cowpea seeds in a local market Akure, Nigeria, was employed. Beetle development and larval survival to adult emergence in the cowpeas, were measured. The results confirmed that IT90K-391, ITu5F-2205 and (T84S-2246-4 were less susceptible to C. maculatus than Ife Brown. It was observed that in the susceptible and resistant cowpeas, development time was not affected by level of larval infestation. Percentage adult emergence decreased significantly (P<0.05) with increase in level of larval infestation in the resistant cowpeas. The significance of these observations is discussed.

Aim: The evaluation of the relationship between the aortic aneurysm and colonic diverticulum in the tomography images of the patients followed-up for abdominal aortic aneurysm

Methods: The tomographic images of 97 patients (Female/Male:20/77) aged between 40-88 years with/without abdominal aortic aneurysm and colonic diverticulum were analyzed. Abdominal aortic diameters were analyzed by categorizing them as 20-29 mm, 30-49 mm, and 50 mm over, and the presence of colonic diverticulum in the abdominal aorta with these diameters. The presence of plaque, narrowing, and dilatation in ascending, descending, and abdominal parts of the aorta was evaluated, and the levels of arterial plaque, narrowing, and stenosis in the inferior and superior mesenteric arteries supplying the intestine were assessed.

Results: The rate of colonic diverticulum was found to be significantly lower in the tomographic images of the patients with normal abdominal aortic diameter. It was found that the frequency of colonic diverticulum increased as the abdominal aortic diameter increased from 29 mm to 50 mm and above.

Conclusion: The probability of detection of colonic diverticulum increases as the diameter of the abdominal aorta increases.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Studies on surgical options in pediatric femoral fractures have been continuing for many years. We aimed to compare the noncontact plating we applied with the other techniques.

Material and Methods: Pediatric patients treated for femoral shaft fracture were included. The patients were evaluated in terms of fracture type, time until surgery, duration of surgery, time of union, complications, Flynn criteria, radiological findings. 21 were in the elastic nailing (group 1), 27 were in the conventional plating (group 2), 11 were in the noncontact plating (group 3).

Results: The mean age was 8.3±1.4 (6-11) in group 1, 10.2±2.2 (7-15) in group 2, and 9.7±2.8 (7-15) in group 3. The time of union was 8.0±2.2 weeks (6-16) in group 1, 9.7±2.7 weeks (7-20) in group 2, and 7.1±1.0 weeks in group 3 (6 -9). In group 1, one patient had delayed union, two patients had a valgus deformity, two patients had minor wound site infection, and four patients had shortening of less than 2 cm. In group 2, three patients had a valgus deformity.Moreover, one patient underwent revision due to plate fracture. In group 3, no delayed union or deformity was observed in any patient.

Conclusion: The fact that elastic nailing, which is the most frequently recommended method in pediatric femoral fractures. However, it is obvious that conditions such as the absence of splinting, better reduction, fewer deformity, early rehabilitation provide advantages over noncontact plating. While it is up to the surgeon's preference, noncontact plating can be applied safely and successfully.

UMKM themselves have great potential for Indonesia's economic resilience. This also proves that UMKM are one of the strong and resilient economic actors. The negative impact of Covid-19 which attacks the pace of the economy in Indonesia, among other things, has caused consumer demand for marble UMKM marmer in Gamping village to decline. This study aims to find out how the impact of Covid-19 on the productivity of marble crafts on UMKM in the Gamping village area. The method used in this research is using descriptive qualitative method and using data triangulation techniques. Marmer (marble) itself is actually a metamorphic limestone (dolomite) that has undergone a process of pressure and temperature changes for hundreds of years. The additional minerals in the form of quartz, talc, chlorite, amphibol, pyrite, pyroxene, hematite and graphite. However, the current problem is that the level of marble sales has decreased due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. So it can be seen that the Covid-19 pandemic can cause very significant changes to the quantity of marble sales. It is not only the quantity of marble sales that has decreased, but also the amount of annual turnover has also decreased, and deliveries have been hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic. It can be concluded that the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant decrease in productivity on the quantity of marble sales.
