Objetivou-se por meio desta revisão estudar as plantas daninhas, suas interferências nas pastagens e a importância do levantamento fitossociológico para o estabelecimento de manejos adequados.A pecuária brasileira é fortemente dependente de pastagens e grande parte da área ocupada com plantas forrageiras encontram-se em algum grau de degradação. A degradação das pastagens é um problema significativo, caracterizado pela perda de vigor da forragem devido a fatores como baixa fertilidade do solo, escolha incorreta de espécies forrageiras, pressão de pragas e doenças e alta intensidade de pastejo. Esses fatores resultam na dominância de plantas daninhas. Nesse contexto, o levantamento fitossociológico em pastagens é essencial para obter conhecimento sobre as populações e a biologia das espécies presentes. Esse levantamento é uma ferramenta crucial para fundamentar tecnicamente as recomendações de manejo e tratos culturais, seja para a implantação, recuperação ou condução das pastagens.

Para uma melhor reabilitação pós-operatória de colocefalectomia em cães, a laserterapia tem se mostrado como uma modalidade alternativa que está sendo considerada eficiente por ser segura, indolor, regenerativa e que melhora o bem-estar animal. Essa terapia utiliza o laser de baixa potência que auxilia de forma positiva no processo curativo, apresentando efeitos analgésicos, anti-inflamatórios, cicatrizantes e circulatórios. O laser utilizado é terapêutico, sendo uma fonte de luz coerente, monocromática e colimada, por esse motivo não apresenta efeitos colaterais quando utilizados na potência correta. A displasia coxofemoral é descrita como um comprometimento da articulação coxofemoral, e é considerada uma das mais importantes disfunções ortopédicas em cães de porte grande e gigante, podendo apresentar-se em graus distintos e diferentes formas de degeneração articular. Manifesta-se através de sinais clínicos específicos, que contribuem para um diagnóstico conclusivo. O tratamento da displasia coxofemoral tem como principal objetivo o controle da dor, sua indicação é variável conforme fatores relacionados a cada paciente, podendo ser conservador ou cirúrgico, como é o caso da colocefalectomia.
“To live your life not in vain”. Ukrainian academics’ experience of forced migration in Poland
Authors: KISELYOVA Yulia , IVASHCHENKO Viktoriia
Published: August 2024

The authors consider the forced migration of Ukrainian academics to Poland caused by the Russian-Ukrainian War, particularly the expansion of communication between the Ukrainian and Polish academic communities and the experience gained in this process. The study is based on the analysis of a body of interviews with Ukrainian academics in forced migration and their Polish colleagues who were directly involved in aiding Ukrainians. The interviews were collected as part of the oral history project “‘Moving West’: Ukrainian Academics in Conditions of Forced Migration (2014-2023).” The authors focus on several main themes: Ukrainian migrants’ decision to leave the country and Polish respondents’ decision to get involved in helping Ukrainian refugees (the moment of‘challenge’), making sense of the new reality (the moment of the ‘meeting of two cultures’), adaptation to the new conditions, and reflection on the experience gained (the moment of ‘construction of specific strategies of behavior’).

Spatial Distribution of Rainfall in Lagos Mainland, Nigeria
Authors: Adeyefa Adewale O.
Published: August 2024

The study examined rainfall distribution patterns for the core rainy season months of May, June, July, August, and September in a part of Lagos, Nigeria. It illustrated variations in rainfall distribution within a relatively small area of the metropolis. The datasets used in this study consisted of daily rainfall values collected using improvised rain gauges at specific locations: Otto, Makoko, Yaba, Onike, Akoka, and Bariga. Measures of central tendency were employed to determine average monthly rainfall, the average number of rainy days each month, mean daily rainfall, and average monthly rainfall per rain day (i.e., mean daily rainfall intensity). The strengths of the relationship between the average number of rainy days, mean daily rainfall intensity and average monthly rainfall were determined using correlation and regression techniques. The coefficient of variation and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to assess the degree of temporal variation, and test differences in the mean values of the stations, respectively. The results revealed variations in all the parameters examined across the locations. For instance, the standard deviation of rainfall in May varied from 20.83mm in Otto to 15.44mm in Bariga, whereas the corresponding values in June were 38.89mm in Otto to 36.31mm in Bariga. There was a similar variation in the number of rainy days in May, with 8 days in Otto and 10 days in Bariga. Rainy days in June varied from 11 days in Makoko to 13 days in Akoka. Although, ANOVA at = 0.05, showed no significant difference between the mean values of the various locations, even small changes in weather elements within a relatively small area could have a substantial impact on its feedback mechanisms.
Navigating Wellness: Influence of Health Insurance Adoption on Health-Seeking Behaviour of Employees in Private Organizations in Enugu State, Nigeria
Authors: Starris-Onyema Promise N. , Nwokocha Ezebunwa E.
Published: August 2024

Healthcare access and utilization are fundamental components of well-being, and the adoption of health insurance scheme (HIS) in private organizations has become a prominent strategy to enhance employees’ access to healthcare services. This Study examines the relationship between the adoption of HIS and the health-seeking behaviour of employees in private organizations in Enugu State, Nigeria. Structural Functionalism and the Health Belief Model were adopted as framework. A mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and interviews, was utilized to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. A sample of 457 respondents was drawn using Yamane’s (1967) formula. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to administer semi-structured questionnaire to employees in manufacturing (369) and service (88) industries. Twenty-four in-depth interviews were conducted among employees. Sixteen key informant interviews were conducted with 8 management staff of private organizations, 4 healthcare providers from NHIS accredited hospitals, 2 health maintenance organisation managers, and 2 NHIS executive officers to elicit information on adoption of HIS and health-seeking behaviour of employees. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and Logistic Regression at p≤0.05, while qualitative data were content-analysed. Respondents’ age was 38±2.4 years; 77.4% had tertiary education and 70.8% were married. Influence of HIS on health-seeking behaviour was significantly associated with female gender (OR = 1.96), tertiary education (OR = 7.27), senior staff position (OR = 1.57), and earning a monthly income of N100, 000 or more (OR = 4.04). Employers’ challenges in the adoption of HIS were payment of premiums, complex bureaucratic structure of the system, and inability to access certain hospitals due to their chosen HIS plan. Stakeholders should therefore increase awareness among private employers about the benefits of HIS and customise plans to suit the peculiarity of private sector employers to reduce their out-of-pocket health expenditure.
Fundamental Structural Defects in Nigeria’s Development
Authors: Obatunde Bright Adetola
Published: August 2024

Nigeria’s development, no doubt, has been challenged by many factors that show clearly that in spite of its wealth of natural and human resources, the nation is not on the path of development and progress. It is also obvious that other nations that were peers with Nigeria have since moved on, on the paths that are indicative of development and progress. The situation of Nigeria’s retrogression or underdevelopment, in comparison with her peers, then calls for questions to identify the reasons for her present state of developmental challenges that seem to have resisted all attempts to channel her in the right path. The paper attempts to unravel these problems by re-examining the social structure of Nigeria as a way of understanding the developmental challenges. In doing this, the two fundamental constituents of any social structure- ideation and institution- are relied upon but with greater emphasis on the one that have been neglected, i.e ideation by those agitating for re-structuring of Nigeria in the past many decades. The paper also relies on the Structuration Theory as a tool of analysis, understanding and explanation of the developmental challenges of Nigeria. The theory recasts structural functionalist theory as it emphasises the interconnectedness of structure and human agency as the duality of structure and action determining events in a society. The paper argues that the neglected and weakened immaterial constituent of Nigeria’s social structure (ideation) has developed damaging attributes that have resulted in defective human agency for many decades This, in turn, impacts negatively on the direction and functionality of the material and manifest social institutions of the Nigerian society that could have delivered purposeful and desired development with impactful progress for all. In conclusion, the paper is of the view that for any impactful development to occur, the immaterial aspect of culture bordering on human agency through which material and manifest institutions emerge and are built upon for functional deliverables should be the focus of any re-arrangement of the Nigeria’s development agenda going forward.
How Can I Build My House and Rear a Local Dog in it? Analysis of Perceptions, Preference and Care for Dogs in Ibadan Metropolis, Nigeria
Authors: Akinyemi Taiwo , Obatunde Adetola , Lanre Olutayo
Published: August 2024

Choice is an existential fact of life that no human is free from. Each choice is also anchored on reasons known to the maker of choice. In the case of this study, therefore, the choice between the local dogs termed Nigerian Indigenous Dogs (NIDBs) and foreign dogs called Exotic Foreign Dogs (EFDBs) is of paramount importance because of the implication on the resources of Nigerians and their self-esteem as a people. The study, therefore, set to find out what factors determine the perception, preference and cares for dogs in Ibadan metropolis in Nigeria. The study was conducted in Ibadan metropolis, which has eleven (11) Local Government Areas for administrative purposes. The study adopted both quantitative and qualitative approach of data collection. For the quantitative purpose, the study selected 200 volunteers from a pool of Dog enthusiasts across the headquarters of eleven local governments. The enlisted and selected 200 volunteers/respondents were made up of Nigerian Indigenous Dog breeders (NIDB), Exotic Foreign Dog Breeders (EFDB), and NIDB EFDB combined. Two groups of respondents were selected for the qualitative study i.e., Nigerian Indigenous Dog breeders (NIDB), Exotic Foreign Dog Breeders (EFDB), and NIDB and EFDB combined being the first group, while the second group was made up of Veterinarian, Dog Business Enthusiasts, Hunters and Security Personnel. The major finding shows that both the NIDBs and EFDBs are equal potentials that could perform any task assigned to them by their handlers. Differences in perception is majorly not about the quality of the dogs but about the human choices, preferences based on socio, economic, historical and professional dispositional perceptions about gains that could be made from one breed over another. The article concludes that since both dogs have become part of the social life of Nigerians, the two dogs should be given equal opportunity to allow for contribution to the development of the nation without placing artificial limitations on one over another. Importation of EFDBs not currently within the shores of Nigeria should be discouraged to allow for home breeds to thrive.
Methodological Issues in Organized Crime Studies: A Research on Illegal Local Oil Refineries in Warri, Nigeria
Authors: Ayodele Austin
Published: August 2024

The alarming spate of organized crime in contemporary Nigerian society calls to question the conditions for which crime strives even in the face of security measures by the Government to decimate criminality. This has attracted academic discourse on criminality and the actors influencing the economy of illegal refineries in the country. The study on networks of actors involved in Illegal Local Refineries (ILRs), the persistent venture in oil-rich communities within the Niger Delta states of Nigeria, hinges on the contextual application of methodology. This choice significantly influences the data quality and eventual research outcomes. Thus, this paper situates the methodology that elicits rich information with less limitations in-spite of the burden of securing access to actors of illegal local refineries in the Delta region of Nigeria, the terrain where more researches miss out on attaining optimal research outcome while adhering to ethical standards. This paper shows the importance of a methodological approach that accommodates the flexibility of ethics in the data-collection phase of studies on organized crime. The study established that qualitative method; face-to-face interviews, pictorial evidence and non-participant observation enhanced the collection of robust data on the activity of actors of ILRs. While the nature of criminality and terrain of the networks of actors involved in illegal local refineries influenced data collection processes; hub entry, oath taking and initiation of researcher as well as imbibing the rules and regulation formalising the ties of actors of illegal oil refining industry affected study’s adherence to related ethical standards in research.
Production and purification of biogas from poultry dropping at mesophilic temperature
Authors: Adebayo A. O. , Oniya O. O. , Oladejo C. B.
Published: August 2024

Biogas is a mixture of gases produced during the breakdown of biodegradable organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Problems of impurities such as Carbon dioxide (CO2), Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and moisture have to be removed in order to improve the quality of biogas. This study aimed at upgrading the biogas produced from poultry dropping. The Poultry Dropping (PD) used as substrate was collected from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) poultry farm. The Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) available in the Agricultural Engineering Laboratory LAUTECH was used for biogas production. The biogas produced was analyzed using Gas chromatography, AGILENT 6890 before and after purification. The produced biogas was purified using chemical absorption. Distilled water, Silica gel and Iron fillings were used as the scrubbers to remove CO2, moisture and H2S, respectively. The CH4, CO2 and H2S of biogas production before and after purification were 61.42%, 35.83% and 0.67 %; and 89.81 %, 8.22 % and 0.54 %, respectively. The results revealed that the purified biogas has better advantage for cooking over the raw biogas.
Urban soil infiltration rates on different land use types in southwest Nigeria: actual versus model estimates
Authors: Adelana A. O.
Published: August 2024

As urban development increases and rainfall patterns become more highly variable, rainwater management issues are becoming increasingly prevalent. Given that urban soils may experience greater compaction than non-urban soils, infiltration models may not accurately represent disturbed urban soils, and this might jeopardize computations that rely on these models. Therefore, the objective of this research was to quantify the rates of soil infiltration on various urban land use types and assess the effectiveness of Horton and Green-Ampt infiltration models for application in urban soil environments. At 88 locations (23 commercial, 15 institutional, 36 residential, and 14 urban agricultural locations) spread across Akure metropolis, southwest Nigeria, soil infiltration rates and the soil's characteristics (texture, compactness, and moisture content) were examined. The highest infiltration rates were found in institutional (16.20 ± 9.73 cm hr-1) and urban agricultural (17.51 ± 10.38 cm hr-1) soils; nevertheless, all our data show that Akure's urban soils can infiltrate most rainfall episodes. The modeled and measured infiltration rates compare poorly, with both the Horton and Green-Ampt models underestimating the rates of infiltration of urban soil. When it came to estimating infiltration capacities, both models fared better in moist compared to dry soils and in loamy compared to sandy soils. Regarding the loamy soils, infiltration on the non-compacted soils was more accurately predicted compared to the compacted soils, according to both models, while the reverse was the case for the sandy soils. The models' largely below-average performance in urban soils will probably make projections from the models less reliable. The results of this study demonstrate the necessity of creating more reliable, enhanced infiltration models that work with urban soils.

Controlling the Level of Inequality through Economic Growth in Papua Province
Authors: Bakar Abu , Sanusi Anwar , Harsono Harsono
Published: August 2024

A high level of economic growth in a country only sometimes reflects a similar increase in all regions. Disparities in economic growth between regions often occur, even when overall economic growth has increased. This research aims to analyze the influence of economic growth on the level of regional inequality in Papua Province. This research is explanatory research that uses the causality method. The secondary data used in this research is collected by conducting documentation studies at several Papuan government agencies. This research was conducted in Papua Province because it is one of the provinces with a high level of regional inequality in the Republic of Indonesia. The data in this research was obtained using document study techniques. Data analysis techniques are carried out using data collection, data reduction, and data categories. This research shows that economic growth has a negative and significant effect on regional inequality in Papua Province, where increasing production in all economic sectors can create jobs, increase income and reduce the unemployment rate, so regional inequality in Papua Province can be reduced. In the future, the Papua Provincial Government will need to implement strict policies regarding mining activities' environmental and social impacts. The Papua Provincial Government also needs to increase economic diversification by strengthening non-mining sectors to reduce dependence on the mining and quarrying sector.

Authors: Belhamidi M. S. , Krimou H. , Hasbi S. , Menfaa M. , Sakit F. , Choho K.
Published: August 2024

Hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumor that remains latent in most cases and only exceptionally leads to complications. Therefore, therapeutic abstention should be the rule in most cases. Surgical intervention, as a first-line treatment, should be reserved for only symptomatic and complicated forms. Hemangiomas can be safely removed by hepatic resection or enucleation. Enucleation should be the technique of choice when the tumor location and technical factors are favorable. This is a retrospective study including all patients with radiologically or, if necessary, histologically confirmed hepatic hemangiomas, followed up at the Moulay Ismail Military Hospital over a 15-year period. 15 patients were included. The aim of our study is to evaluate the outcomes of different treatments for hepatic hemangiomas, while specifying the epidemiological and anatomoclinical aspects of these tumors, and to deduce the most reasonable therapeutic approach.
Incidentally Diagnosed Mediastinal Mature Teratoma in an Infant: About A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Sadjo Salihou Aminou , Destinval Christelle , Gomola Vladimir , Lemelle Jean-Louis
Published: August 2024

Mature teratoma accounts for 75% of germ cell tumors of the mediastinum, including 6 to 18% of tumors of the anterior mediastinum in children. The risk of malignancy of this benign tumor is exceptional. Respiratory and cardiac symptoms are its mode of revelation due to the mass effect on the adjacent mediastinal structures. We report the case of a 4-month-old male infant with an anterior mediastinal mass found during a cardiac ultrasound as part of a heart murmur assessment. The rest of the clinical examination was normal. The chest CT scan highlighted an anterior mediastinal mass with a fatty, cystic, and tissue component developed at the expense of the right part of the thymus without compression of adjacent structures. Tumor markers were negative. The lesion was excised by right lateral thoracotomy. The pathological analysis favored a mature teratoma. No complications or recurrences occurred after a 21-month follow-up. Mature thoracic teratoma is a rare benign tumor in the pediatric population. Its diagnosis is most often incidental or evoked in case of chest symptoms. Complete surgical excision of this tumor results in complete healing without risk of recurrence.

Published: August 2024

Pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia of the fallopian tube is an entity rarely described in the literature. It is generally associated with endogenous or exogenous ovarian stimulation or secondary to underlying inflammation (pelvic inflammatory disease). It can cause a problem of differential diagnosis with adenocarcinoma. We report the case of a 34-year-old woman with secondary infertility who underwent surgery for bilateral hydrosalpinx and polymyomatous uterus. Anatomopathological study revealed granulomatous salpingitis without caseous necrosis, with bilateral tubal pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia. In this case, we discuss the elements of the positive and differential diagnosis of this tubal lesion.

Heat stroke is a medical emergency with a high rate of mortality. Patients with heat stroke present multiple organ dysfunctions due to heat injury and inflammatory mechanisms. We report a case of a 58 years old man, water well driller, who suffered a heat stroke and was admitted in the intensive care unit of the provincial hospital of Zagora. The patient was initially in a convulsive state; a careful approach was taken regarding the use of mechanical ventilation that was not needed eventually due to the rapid improvement of his neurological state. During his hospitalization, he had atrial arrhythmia and acute kidney failure that improved after hydration, and acute disseminated intravascular coagulation treated with steroids, vitamine K and plasma. The hydration followed the parkland formula since the patient had 1st and 2nd degree sun burns estimated at 15% following the Wallace rule. The patient was discharged 6 days after his admission and transferred to the neurological department of the nearest university hospital for further medical care.

Purple urine discoloration, or Purple Urine Bag Syndrome (PUBS), is a prevalent condition in bed ridden people who used a urinary catheter for a long time. The purple discoloration is alarming to the patients and everyone around them, even though it is usually benign. Case Study: This case study describes a 55-year-old woman as having PUBS. She has had type II diabetes for 20 years, hypertension for 10 years, and an ischemic stroke during the last five months. Her symptoms of renal impairment have required her to be on a catheter for the previous week. She reported to the ER that she had experienced an alteration in the color of her urine along with overwhelming symptoms that had persisted for several days. A new catheter was used. Laxatives and antibiotics were also upgraded, and urine culture samples were taken in. Clinical Discussion: Although it has also been described in acidic urine, PUBS is typically linked to alkaline urine and in patients who endured catheterization for an extended period, as this patient was. Conclusion: Patients and their family may experience anxiety when dealing with PUBS, an uncommon sign of a urinary tract infection that has an unsettling appearance. Purple discoloration is a relatively benign and asymptomatic condition that serves only as a warning sign of underlying bacteriuria, with little prognostic implications.

Tubal torsion, the complete twisting of the fallopian tube, is a rare cause of abdominal pain in pediatric patients, often associated with congenital anomalies like hydrosalpinx. Initial diagnostic tests include blood analysis and ultrasound, though definitive diagnosis requires surgical exploration, typically via exploratory laparoscopy. Conservative surgery aimed at detorsion is preferred to preserve fertility, with long-term follow-up necessary. Pathological studies suggest that microscopic integrity of the tube can be maintained even if it appears necrotic macroscopically, and a watchful waiting approach may be suitable for asymptomatic, uncomplicated hydrosalpinx. We report the case of a 13 years old patient with isolated torsion of the fallopian tube on hydrosalpinx.

Agricultural crops face a major issue in the form of salinity. It causes injuries to plants by causing accumulation of Na+ and Cl- ions, which leads to nutrient imbalance and ultimately low yield. It also causes fluctuations in physiological processes, which destabilize the uptake and distribution of nutrients in crops. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is the 2nd ranked oilseed crop after soybean. Sunflower possesses high oil content (42-50%) and protein content (15-20%), which makes it one of the most valuable oil crops. Exogenously applied K+ significantly enhance all morphological and physiological parameters. K+ is also member of triad group of nutrients for plants including N and P. In current study effect of foliar application of K at 500 ppm were examined on growth, biochemical and physiological attributes of sunflower hybrid L-16003 grown under saline conditions. Data was recorded for various growth, biochemical and physiological parameters of plants. Analysis of data revealed that salinity adversely affected gas exchange parameters which resulted in reduced growth and yield of sunflower. Exogenous foliar application of K significantly improved gas exchange attributes such as stomatal conductance, CO2 assimilation, transpiration rate and water use efficiency. It also enhanced chlorophyll pigments which resulted in increase of photosynthetic rate ultimately leading to healthy growth of plants grown under saline conditions. Root length, shoot length, plant fresh weight, dry weight and achenes weight were also increased by foliar application of K. Overall, foliar application of K significantly improved all attributes of sunflower and helped to alleviate harmful effects of salinity.

Background: Aligners, commonly used in orthodontic treatments, have shown varying degrees of effectiveness depending on the type of tooth movement required. This systematic review will outline recent findings and updates regarding the predictability of aligners in incisor extrusion and molar intrusion movements. Haut du formulaire. Objective: The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature and evaluate the predictability of clear aligners in incisor extrusion and molar intrusion movements based on the available evidence. Materials and Methods: A total of three databases (Pubmed, Sciences Direct and Google Scholar) were searched until March 2023, in addition to a manual search in the following journals: the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, The Angle Orthodontist, and the European Journal of Orthodontics. Finite elements studies assessing the ability of aligners in achieving incisor extrusion and molar intrusion movements published during the last 10 years in English were eligible to be selected. Study selection and data extraction were undertaken independently by two reviewers. Risk-of-bias (RoB) assessment was evaluated using the Methodological Quality of Single Subject Finite Element Analysis. The reporting of this review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results: Four pertinent articles were incorporated into the analysis, all of which are finite element studies. Among these, three studies assessed the efficacy of aligners in achieving incisor extrusion, while one solely examined their predictability in molar intrusion. The risk of bias was categorized moderate in all studies. All these studies have agreed that attachments are essential for achieving incisor extrusion and molar intrusion movements. In fact, the position of the attachment has a greater influence on the amount of movement than its shape. Conclusion: The use of attachments has proven to be crucial for successfully achieving vertical movements with aligners. Horizontal rectangular palatal attachments are essential for incisor extrusion, while a combination of buccal and palatal attachments is necessary for molar intrusion.
