Socio-Demographic Evaluation of Ownership Levels and Utilization Rates of LLINs against Malaria Vectors within Urban Settlements of Osogbo District, Osun State, Nigeria
Authors: Fasasi Kamilu , Rufai Akinlabi , Familoni Damilola , Adeleke Monsuru 
Published: January 2024

Globally, malaria is one of the major endemic diseases of public health importance caused by Plasmodium spp. and transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes. Efforts to eradicate malaria disease are on the decline despite appreciable progress recorded in the past. This warranted holistic review of malaria interventions which include among others, the assessment of Long Lasting Insecticidal Treated Nets (LLINs). Adopted questionnaires from Roll Back Malaria (RBM), World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) were administered to evaluate ownership levels and utilization rates of LLINs against malaria vectors in urban settlements of Osogbo district, Osun state, Nigeria. Out of 1,500 households surveyed, 78.9% of the households had at least one LLIN, while 78.3% households had the LLINs hanging in their homes, but 60.8% of the households frequently used the LLINs. There were statistically significant differences between the ownership levels of LLINs, usage of LLINs by hanging and the utilization rates of LLINs in the studied population comparatively (p < 0.05). Although the percentage of LLINs possession is high, the rate of utilization of the LLINs varies and is not encouraging which negates the WHO recommended utility procedures. Therefore, acceptability of LLINs usage and sustainable positive attitudinal changes are needed to achieve the target goals of WHO on elimination of the endemic disease.

Published: January 2024

Wetlands are vital ecosystems as they are essential to human health, wellbeing, ecological integrityand national development as well as in the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals.However, despite their contributions to human wellbeing, they have been destroyed and degradedover years. The aim of this paper is to review literature on the ecosystem services in Nyandowetland ecosystem and how they have been helpful to the well-being of its residents and also todetermine the threats to the Nyando ecosystem services. A total of 88 documents were reviewedout of 20,400 documents from the Google engine search. It is concluded in this paper thatecosystem services in the Nyando wetland contribute significantly to the sustenance of thelivelihood of the local communities and that the over dependency on the Nyando wetland by thelocal communities has resulted to over-exploitation of its resources leading to the degradation ofthe ecosystem. It is recommended that since the Nyando ecosystem is of high value to thecommunities living there, sustainable utilization of its resources is important for its sustenance andalso in the reduction of the degradation of its resources.

Published: January 2024

Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and associated opportunistic infections are still global health concerns. Traditional medicines have been used for managing these infections, with little about their biological activities being known. This study evaluated antimicrobial and anti-HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase (RT) activities of medicinal plants; Harungana madagascariensis, Sapium ellipticum, Pseudospondias microcarpa, Capparis erythrocarpos, and Plectranthus barbatus; and activities of zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized from aqueous extracts of H. madagascariensis. Results revealed that aqueous and ethyl acetate extracts of H. madagascariensis, S. ellipticum, P. microcarpa; and ethyl acetate extracts from P. barbatus exhibited minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 3.1 to 100 mg mL־1, while aqueous and ethyl acetate extracts from C. erythrocarpos showed no antibacterial activity. Furthermore, the study revealed that ethyl acetate extracts from P. barbatus, S. ellipticum, C. erythrocarpos and aqueous extract from H. madagascariensis have anti-HIV-1 RT inhibition greater than 50% at 10 mg mL־1. Aqueous crude extract of H. madagascariensis revealed higher anti-HIV-1-RT (IC50 = 0.9 mg mL־1) than all other extracts. On the other hand, zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized from aqueous extract of H. madagascariensis exhibited antibacterial activity greater than all the tested extracts and anti-HIV-1 RT activities comparable to aqueous extract of H. madagascariensis. The results provide scientific information towards drug discovery from medicinal plants.

Selected Under-exploited Plant Oils in Nigeria: A Correlative Study of their Properties
Authors: Ifijen Ikhazuagbe , Nkwor Adachukwu 
Published: January 2024

This study examined the physicochemical properties of seven under-exploited plant oils in Nigeria,namely; Hevea brasiliensis seed oil (HBSO), Prunus dulcis seed oil (PDSO), Afzelia africana arilcap oil (AAACO), Jatropha curcas seed oil (JCSO), Sesamum indicum seed oil (SISO), Canariumschweinfurthii seed oil (CSSO) and Hura crepitans seed oil (HCSO). Characteristics such ascolour, percentage yield, specific gravity, freezing/melting point, acid value, free fatty acid, iodinevalue, and saponification value were investigated. The results showed that they have differentcolours and are liquid at room temperature. The percentage yield of the extracted oils varied from34 to 55.39%. The specific gravities which were observed to agree with what is obtainable in mostvegetable oils were in the range of 0.91 in PDSO to 0.948 in CSSO. The freezing/melting pointsshow that CSSO (8.89 °C), AAACO (6.39 ºC) and JCSO (3.18 ºC) have greater amounts ofsaturated fatty acids than SISO (–6.21 ºC), HCSO (–15.34 ºC) and HBSO /PDSO (–18 ºC). Theacid values and free fatty acids of the oils were in the range of 2.13–17.49 mg KOH/g and 1.07–9.648%, respectively. The iodine values of HBSO, PDSO, JCSO, and SISO (104–128.9 mgiodine/100 g) and AAACO and CSSO (68–77 mg iodine/100 g) placed them in the semi-dryingand non-drying class, respectively. Their saponification values (137.2 to 210 mg KOH/g oil)suggest their possible applications in the soap industry. The results generally present a deductivejustification for the usage of the studied plant seed oils for some industrial and other applications.

Published: January 2024

This study compared the growth performance of Eucheuma denticulatum, fish abundance anddiversity between deep water (using tubular nets) versus shallow water (off-bottom) seaweedfarming methods. For each farming method, three plots were set and fish abundance, diversity andseaweed growth rates were measured at intervals of 15 days. Belt transects measuring 10 m x 4 meach, were established on seaweed farms for fish observations. Fish were identified to the lowestpossible taxonomic level by underwater census. The results showed that the growth rate of E.denticulatum in deep water farms was slightly higher at an average daily growth rate (DGR) of3.42 ± 0.18% day−1 compared with 3.01 ± 0.27% day−1 for shallow water farms but with nosignificant differences (p = 0.079) likely due to higher herbivory in the deep water farms. Fishabundance and diversity were higher in deep water farms but insignificant (t (34) = 0.69, p = 0.49and t (34) = 0.424, p = 0.67, respectively). Habitat complexity and seaweed growth rate were almostsimilar for both farming methods hence attracting comparable numbers of fish. Further studies arerecommended on fish community structures, differences between the two farming methods andeffects of herbivory.

Published: January 2024

The With the advancement of computer, electronic, and telecommunications technology, there has been a significant change in the world of applications, which makes it easier for humans to carry out various activities, both at work and in interacting on social media.CV. Albahritech faces the challenge of not having a quick and easy office equipment maintenance application. This limitation can have a negative impact on company operations. Currently, the maintenance process still relies on communication via WhatsApp or phone, which causes customer appointments to be missed or forgotten due to the large number of calls for customer maintenance services that cannot be fulfilled. In addition, transactions and visit reports are not properly recorded, which can cause customers to experience delays in getting treatment services or even cause customers to look for other treatment services.The currently designed application uses a blockchain-like decentralized network model, known as a DApp. This DApp has several important features that utilize blockchain technology[1], including the ability to make payments using cryptocurrencies such as Ether and the feature to record service lists for customers. In this application, smart contracts are used to create a mechanism of trust and automation in agreements or deals between the parties involved. This ensures that agreements and transactions made within the app are transparent, secure, and without the need for a third party. In addition, the app also uses IPFS for customer data storage. IPFS is a peer-to-peer file distribution system that serves to store and distribute data on the interne[2]t. The use of IPFS in this application enables distributed and decentralized data storage, thereby improving data security and reliability.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Importance: The Supporting and Enhancing NICU Sensory Experiences (SENSE) program is an evidence-based intervention that promotes daily, positive sensory exposures for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Understanding program implementation across sites may aid in optimizing strategies for uptake of the program and subsequently improve outcomes for infants and families.
Objective: To investigate health care professionals’ perceptions of implementing the SENSE program.
Design: The SENSE Program Implementation Survey was developed using Proctor et al.’s model and the BARRIERS scale to probe organizational practices across sites worldwide.
Setting: Survey distributed to 211 hospitals with a SENSE program license obtained before March 2020.
Participants: One hundred fourteen NICU personnel (response rate = 54%).
Outcomes and Measures: The survey sought to understand barriers and facilitators, adaptations during implementation, and associated costs.
Results: Of the 53% (n = 57 of 107) of respondents who had implemented the SENSE program, many (n = 14; 31%) experienced quick timing (&lt;1 mo) to use, including spread to nearly all infants in their NICU within 6 mo (n = 18; 35%). Most reported the program was used to educate families ≤3 days of birth (n = 20/59; 34%). Most of the sensory interventions in the program were performed by parents (n = 38; 67%) and therapists (n = 44; 77%). Barriers and facilitators at the organizational and individual levels were identified. No additional staff were hired to implement the program.
Conclusions and Relevance: Given perceived successes and challenges, strategic enhancement of implementation can inform future administrations of the SENSE program.
Plain-Language Summary: This study provides occupational therapists who are interested in implementing the SENSE program (Supporting and Enhancing NICU Sensory Experiences) with an understanding of common barriers, facilitators, costs, and adaptations, which can be used to advocate for program implementation in NICUs to improve outcomes for preterm infants worldwide.

Problematika aktuálně nabízených nemovitostí na realitním trhu
Authors: Malečková Kateřina 
Published: January 2024

Realitní trh prožívá v posledních letech velký boom. Ceny nemovitostí narostly o několik procent a vlastní bydlení se tak stává pro střední třídu čím dál méně dosažitelné. Co ale přesto z trhu nemizí, jsou nešvary, které se objevují v bytových jednotkách. Díky přísným normám a vyhláškám se sice výrazně zlepšila kvalita konstrukcí (zejména z hlediska akustiky a tepelných ztrát), využitelnost plochy bytu či velikost obytných místností však mnohdy u novostaveb pokulhává. Ekonomickou situaci a s tím i cenu nemovitostí nemůžeme tak jednoduše ovlivnit. S čím ale pracovat můžeme, je kvalita prodávaných bytů a to, jak se na ni díváme. Máme možnost se zaměřit na vzdělání neodborné veřejnosti a poukázat na aspekty, kterých je třeba si při koupi nemovitosti všímat a rozpoznat základní nedostatky. Dokud na ně totiž nebude poukázáno, jen těžko dojde k jejich změně.
Práce se zabývá průzkumem nabízených bytových jednotek (u novostaveb), odhalování častých nedostatků z hlediska užívání, zdraví a otevírá témata, na která je třeba poukázat za účelem vzdělání neodborné veřejnosti a tím i ke zlepšení situace na realitním trhu.
Progresívne konštrukčno-výrobné systémy stavieb neskorej moderny na Slovensku a ich odkaz pre súčasnosť

Published: January 2024

V súčasnosti čelíme otázkam spojeným s budúcnosťou stavieb, ktoré boli navrhnuté v medzivojnovom a povojnovom období minulého storočia. Architektonický štýl neskorej moderny v socialistickom Československu môžeme situovať približne do rokov 1958 až 1973. Na území dnešného Slovenska sa neskorá moderna prejavila najhodnotnejšie na prelome 60. a 70. rokov v niekoľkých exkluzívnych budovách zo segmentu občianskych stavieb. Mnohé z nich boli zároveň realizované technológiami, ktoré boli v danom období označované ako progresívne, no po roku 1989 sa v podmienkach trhovej ekonomiky (s jednou výnimkou) žiadna z nich výrazne nepresadila. Dnes stojíme pred rozhodnutím, ako obnoviť, modernizovať a v prevádzke zachovať tieto budovy, niekedy realizované z hľadiska súčasných podmienok ojedinelými technológiami. Predložený príspevok predstavuje na príklade najznámejších progresívnych konštrukčno-výrobných systémov hrubej stavby 60. – 80. rokov výber pozoruhodných architektonických realizácií, najmä z oblasti zdravotníckych a školských stavieb. V závere článku sa venujeme vzťahu vtedajšej prefabrikácie, z ktorej progresívne metódy vychádzali, s možnosťami prefabrikácie 21. storočia a jej uplatnenia v súčasnej architektúre a stavebníctve.
