Fashion Designing and Economic Development in Lagos State, Nigeria, 2011-2020
Authors: E. Orukpe, W. , I. Faruq, B.
Published: April 2024

The economy of Lagos state, Nigeria is unarguably the biggest and the most developed in the country. Its self-sustaining capability was demonstrated from 2004-2007 when the Lagos economy did not grind to a halt when the Federal government of Nigeria withheld Lagos’ monthly allocation. But in the growing body of literature on Lagos studies, the contributions of the fashion designing industry to the attainment of this economic feat had not been given adequate academic attention. Hence, to close this gap, this paper examined fashion designing and economic development in Lagos from 2011-2020. Using the historical research methodology, this study interrogates secondary data and explains how fashion designing is partly giving life to the Lagos economy. It finds that through the employment opportunities, apprenticeship, internal revenue generation and the economics of brand ambassadorship that fashion designing provides Lagos state; it is aiding its economic development. It also found that the Lagos Fashion Week which is the pinnacle of the Lagos fashion economy attracts fashion designers from within and outside Nigeria to Lagos; and generates huge revenue for players in its hospitality sector and other local service providers. Consequently, fashion designing in post-colonial Lagos had been of significant help in soaking up some of the economic pressures caused by overpopulation, unemployment and underemployment. Therefore, this paper concludes that fashion designers in Lagos cover more than the nudity of Lagosians; they also augment the economy of Lagos state by contributing to its growth and development.

Os transtornos da menstruação constituem um conjunto de condições que podem afetar significativamente a regularidade, duração e intensidade do ciclo menstrual feminino. Desde o início da menarca até a transição para a menopausa, o ciclo menstrual é uma parte fundamental da saúde reprodutiva e geral da mulher. Ao quantificar o número de internações relacionadas a esses transtornos, podemos identificar tendências, grupos populacionais mais vulneráveis e lacunas nos serviços de saúde, subsidiando assim políticas e programas direcionados à prevenção, diagnóstico precoce e tratamento adequado. Nesse sentindo, o principal objetivo desse trabalho foi descrever um panorama epidemiológico das internações causadas por transtornos da menstruação no Brasil, no período de 2019 a 2023. Este é um estudo ecológico de séries temporais, que usou dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH) do DATASUS. Essa fonte abrangente oferece uma visão detalhada das internações no Brasil. Através desse estudo demostramos uma redução de 7% nas internações causadas por transtornos da menstruação no Brasil, com o Sudeste sendo responsável pela maioria das internações e custos hospitalares. Além disso, identificamos que mulheres brancas com idade entre 40 a 49 anos foram as mais acometidas. A redução das internações hospitalares causadas por transtornos da menstruação é um indicador importante do progresso na saúde feminina e na eficácia dos sistemas de saúde. Isso não só alivia o ônus sobre os recursos hospitalares, mas também melhora a qualidade de vida das mulheres, permitindo-lhes gerenciar melhor sua saúde menstrual e prevenir complicações graves. Mesmo sendo resultados animadores, é importante continuar investindo em estratégias de prevenção, capacitação de profissionais de saúde e promoção de cuidados de saúde equitativos para garantir que todas as mulheres tenham acesso a cuidados de saúde, seguros e de qualidade.

Effect of Anxiety on Impulsivity: Mediating Role of Cognitive Flexibility
Authors: - Christina Meria Kurien , - Palanisamy. V
Published: April 2024

Impulsivity is linked to adverse outcomes, such as substance abuse and risky behaviors. Understanding how anxiety contributes to impulsivity is crucial for intervention. This study explores the potential mediating role of cognitive flexibility in the relationship between anxiety and impulsivity. This study investigates whether cognitive flexibility serves as a mediating factor between anxiety and impulsivity, aiming to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of their association. A convenience sample of 505 participants aged 18-30 without psychiatric or substance abuse disorders was included. Participants completed the General Anxiety Disorder-7, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11, and Cognitive Flexibility Inventory. Path analysis was conducted to examine the potential mediating role of cognitive flexibility. The study revealed a significant direct link between anxiety and impulsivity (β = 0.1807, p = 0.001). However, it was found that cognitive flexibility did not mediate this relationship. The indirect effect of anxiety on impulsivity through cognitive flexibility was not statistically significant (β = -0.0163, p = 0.074). These findings suggest that cognitive flexibility, as assessed in this study, does not account for the relationship between anxiety and impulsivity. While this study explored cognitive flexibility as a potential mediator, it did not find evidence to support this role. This implies that other factors may play a more significant part in explaining the link between anxiety and impulsivity. The study highlights the complexity of these psychological constructs and underscores the need for further research to unravel their interplay. It emphasizes the importance of considering nuanced aspects of anxiety, impulsivity, and cognitive flexibility in future investigations. This research contributes to the ongoing discussion surrounding these psychological traits and the factors influencing their relationship.

Authors: - Akash S Ranjan , - Shabareesh M , - Pavan kumar Thotta
Published: April 2024

Roadway bumps present a significant hazard to drivers, leading to discomfort, vehicle damage, and even accidents. This research paper proposes an innovative solution for bump detection and driver/vehicle response using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. This research paper explores the application of the YOLOv8 algorithm for detecting road bumps and generating voice alerts to enhance road safety. The proposed system utilizes a camera based approach installed in vehicles to detect road bumps in real-time. Upon detection, a voice alert is generated using the gTTS library, informing the driver of an impending bump ("Bump is near you"). The primary objective is to provide drivers with timely information to reduce vehicle speed and avoid discomfort or potential accidents caused by road bumps. Additionally, the paper discusses the feasibility of integrating this AI algorithm into car systems to automate speed reduction when bumps are detected. By leveraging sensors and advanced algorithms, car companies could enhance vehicle safety by ensuring that vehicles automatically slow down upon approaching a road bump, mitigating the risk of accidents and minimizing wear and tear on vehicles. Furthermore, the study investigates the impact of road bumps on accidents, emphasizing the importance of early detection and driver awareness. By addressing this issue, the proposed system aims to contribute to improved road safety, reduced accident rates, and enhanced driving experience for all road users.

Published: April 2024

Abstract:
Introduction: MDR-TB is a global health threat requiring uninterrupted access to second-line TB drugs for successful treatment. Inefficiencies in the supply chain can disrupt access, prompting this investigation into stockout factors at an SDS in Maharashtra, India. Objectives: Study investigates the drug supply chain at the State Drug Store (SDS). Measure the stock situation for second-line anti-TB drugs at the SDS. By analyzing stakeholder perspectives, the study will explore factors contributing to gaps invloved. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2023 to January 2024 in one of three State Drug Stores (SDS) located in Maharashtra, India. Maharashtra has 3 SDS and to ensure anonymity, the SDS involved in the study are labeled as SDS1. Five-year retrospective data of the TB drug supply chain from the Central TB Division website (quantitative) and primary data rom stakeholders (interviews, document review, TB program survey) were analyzed using Power Query (quantitative) and thematic analysis (qualitative) to identify trends, challenges, and stakeholder perspectives. Results: The key findings of the study are stockouts of medicines, expiry of drugs and delay in disposal of expired drugs, insufficient fund allotment for local purchases, and inadequate quantities received from the Central TB Division (CTD). Conclusion: State Drugs State in total has been maintained well and it is crucial to recognize the ongoing efforts of the SDS to navigate these difficulties and ensure patient access to vital medications. Moving forward, implementing the proposed solutions like demanding funds from higher authorities to start local purchases can strengthen the SDS's ability to provide uninterrupted access to essential medications.

Published: April 2024

Palm printing and palm vein recognition are the newer spheres within the already developed biometrics sector. Although many time-honored techniques have been offered and seen successful implementation over the last twenty years, the deep learning methods still lack all-round development in the palmprint and palm vein recognition. This research intends to study further the strength of deep learning on palmiets and palm vein recognition via 2D and 3D. We performed thorough examination of 17 known convolutional neural networks (CNNs) utilizing multiple databases, e.g., one 3D palmprint database, five 2D palmprint database and two palm vein databases. Our trials cover various network architectures, learning rates, and layer configurations, taking into account not only single mode data but also mixed mode data simultaneously. Results prove that CNNs of classic format show good recognition capabilities, and recent models with improved accuracy show even better achievements. One of the classic CNNs that stands out is Efficient Net. If the recognition accuracy is evaluated, this is the top performer. On the other hand, even though the classic forms of CNNs are fairly good in recognizing various types of tumors, their accuracy is still lower than the traditional methods.

Climate change is the greatest existential challenge to planetary and human health and is dictated by a shift in the Earth’s weather and air conditions owing to anthropogenic activity. The interactions between climate change and health outcomes are diverse and complex and include several exposure pathways that might promote the development of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc. The World Health Organization estimates that the warming and precipitation trends due to anthropogenic climate change of the past 30 years already claim over 150,000 lives annually. Climate change and human health are interconnected through a direct and indirect pathway. The increase in high temperatures due to climate change has a tremendous impact on human hydration levels and can cause heat stress in diabetics with cardiovascular complications leading to strokes. It is difficult to disregard the harmful impact of heat waves on the geriatric population all over the world, due to varied physiological conditions related to socioeconomic level. Exposure to high temperature prompts significant stress and strain on the thermoregulatory responses to heat stress in CVD. Studies reported that environmental effects from climate change have negative impacts on metabolic control, glucometer availability, insulin pumps, and medication gradually threatening the health, well-being, economy, and environment of the world. Reviewing the interconnections between the expanding climatic variability in climate change and human health it seems the growing risk factors are enormous and have tremendously fueled global health disparities.

Published: April 2024

Digital cash and online transactions in the current market scenario have a great effect on e-banking and digital banking. E-banking comprises mainly of electronic funds transfer and usage of online banking services. Electronic banking was offered by the international banks initially since flow of digital cash was not predominant in the Indian market until the advent of demonetization. E-banking plays a major role in the present banking functionality. Electronic banking is inferred to be safe and secured, compared to physical banking. e-banking ensures qualitative banking operations compared to traditional banking. However, it has its own limitations and challenges when we talk about security, on the contrary. After visually perceiving the growth rate of e-banking services it can be verbalized that e-banking is accepted in the banking sector and an abundance of work can be done in this sector to make it more advance, safe and more accommodation provider in finance sector.

Published: April 2024

According to WHO, stroke is defined as an accident to the brain with rapidly developing clinical signs of focal or global disturbance to cerebral function with symptoms lasting 24 hours or longer, or leading to death, with no apparent cause other than intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. It has been noted that diminished motor skills and balance following a stroke can restrict daily activities such as walking and increase the risk of secondary injuries like falls.
Pilates is a gentle exercise that helps strengthen the muscles and focuses heavily on building strong core muscles.
Core stability exercises are movements or activities designed to strengthen the muscles surrounding the spine, pelvis, and abdomen, helping to improve posture, balance, and overall stability.

Towards sustainable development of sugar beet cultivation – underlying basics and possible aims
Authors: Jacobs Anna , Roß Christel , Trimpler Kerrin , Stockfisch Nicol
Published: April 2024

For quite a while, there was no scientific discussion on the sustainable development of sugar beet production. The multiplicity of definitions and strategies appear as a misleading ball-of-wool. This paper summarizes theoretical aspects, such as wordings, principles, aims, and challenges of assessment schemes, on sustainable development of crop production in general. The aim is to enable a common understanding for harmonized and strategic decision making and certification. Further, we show the potential for the sustainable development of crop cultivation systems and point out specific options for the sustainable development of sugar beet cultivation. Nine of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (2015) provide a guideline for the sustainable development of crop cultivation. We identified four general fields of action: (i) enhancement of yield stability, (ii) tackling of ecological challenges, (iii) enablement of risk assessment and forecast, (iv) development of certification schemes. We further identified eight major ecological challenges which can be addressed by nine crop cultivation activities. These were compared to Germany-wide information on current sugar beet cultivation. Therein, we identified the following activities that need to be in place: (i) establishment of forecast and risk assessment systems for decision support and for precision farming in irrigation, pest and disease management, fertilizer application, harvest timing; (ii) protection and increase of soil organic matter and soil structure by permanent soil cover, strip tillage and direct sowing, and reduction of heavy loads during harvest; (iii) increase of aboveground biodiversity, especially by integration of (semi-)permanent elements such as grassland, flower strips, hedges, and by crop rotation diversification especially using legumes and plants for permanent soil cover; (iv) reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by removing the leaves after harvest and by reducing diesel usage wherever possible.

Authors: Simbaña Isaac , Quitiaquez William , Cabezas Patricio , Quitiaquez Patricio
Published: April 2024

This investigation compared the efficiency of a flat-plate solar collector with triangular and square geometry, by using the finite element method (FEM). The design of the geometries and the utilized parameters for the simulation were obtained from previous publications. SolidWorks was used to model the two collectors, meanwhile, the Fluent module of the ANSYS software was used for the simulation by the FEM. Collectors integrated a pipe of 7 mm internal diameter with a plate thickness of 11 mm; the defined material was aluminum. An ambient temperature of 20 °C was considered, with solar radiation of 1000 W·m-2 and heat transfer surfaces of 61 250 and 122 500 mm2 for the triangular and square collectors, respectively. The quality of the mesh was excellent, obtaining a skewness of 0.2486, with which efficiencies of 62 and 39 % and maximum temperatures of 27 and 25.5 °C were obtained for the triangular and square collectors, respectively. Due to the geometries performing as fins, the temperatures are higher in the corners and, therefore, achieving higher efficiency is impossible.
