Assessment of the Five Cs of Credit in the Lending Requirements of the Nigerian Commercial Banks
Authors: Oseni Ezekiel 
Published: July 2023

Credit evaluation and decision like any investment decision requires utmost due diligence from the decision makers to avoid high default rates. It is expected of the lender to apply caution all the way by eliminating all forms of asymmetry information that could lead to adverse selection and non-performing loans. To avoid adverse selection and high default rates that could jeopardize the lender’s going concern and profitability, caution is the silent C emedded in the five Cs of credit. The study administered a structured questionnaire to all the Nigerian banks that survived the 2005 recapitalization era and were still in operations at the time of this study. While the structured questions required the respondents to rank the five Cs of credit based on the importance their credit policy and practice attached to them, the hypothesis tested centred on the impacts of the Cs of credit on risk asset quality. The qualitative data were also analyzed using a module of the SPSS statistical software. The study observed that all the Cs of credit have a direct and significant correlation with the asset quality (non-performing loan ratio). The study recommended that Caution which it considered as a slient C of credit embedded in the five Cs and the only C provided by the lender should be the watchword throughout the credit risk management process. It imay be pertinent to also note that while the traditional five Cs (character, capacity, capital, collateral and conditions) are required from the borrower, the caution is required from the lender as a check on traditional five Cs.

Published: July 2023

This study aims to show the degree of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices and satisfaction of customer that are related while determining the relationship (Significant or Insignificant) between these two in the context of banking industry in Bangladesh. Authors adopt simple random sampling and collects data from 335 customers of ten listed banking companies through a survey questionnaire. The data have been analyzed through employing various statistical tests such as Skewness, kurtosis, cook distance, variance inflation factor (VIF), Durbin-Watson statistics and simple regression analysis. According to the authors' analysis of the composite Index, the teacher's mean customer satisfaction (CS) index and mean CSR practice index are both at their highest levels. The relationship measured by composite index between CSR practice and customer satisfaction that is found strongly positive and significant, indicated by empirical findings. The finding implies that if CSR initiatives increase, customer satisfaction levels will rise as a result. The authors have deduced from the literature that there isn't any evidence of an investigation that looks at the relationship between CSR practices and customer satisfaction among Bangladeshi companies; hence, there is a contribution to new knowledge as the analysis produces new insights in the context of a developing economy.

Published: July 2023

Application of fuzzy control has been observed in various engineering fields due to its ability to handle uncertainties and non-linearities. In this study, the advantages of using fuzzy control in heat pump systems are being investigated. Specifically, the performance of a heat pump system with a conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is being compared to that of a heat pump system with a fuzzy logic controller. It has been demonstrated by the results that the fuzzy control-based heat pump system offers better performance in terms of energy efficiency, temperature control, and overall system stability. This study contributes to the understanding of the potential benefits of fuzzy control-based heat pump systems and provides a foundation for further research in this area.

BackgroundCurrent treatments of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy (CCM) are of limited efficacy. We assessed whether repeated intravenous injections of human extracellular vesicles from cardiac progenitor cells (EV-CPC) could represent a new therapeutic option and whether EV manufacturing according to a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)-compatible process did not impair their bioactivity.MethodsImmuno-competent mice received intra-peritoneal injections (IP) of doxorubicin (DOX) (4 mg/kg each; cumulative dose: 12 mg/kg) and were then intravenously (IV) injected three times with EV-CPC (total dose: 30 billion). Cardiac function was assessed 9–11 weeks later by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) using strain as the primary end point. Then, immuno-competent rats received 5 IP injections of DOX (3 mg/kg each; cumulative dose 15 mg/kg) followed by 3 equal IV injections of GMP-EV (total dose: 100 billion). Cardiac function was assessed by two dimensional-echocardiography.ResultsIn the chronic mouse model of CCM, DOX + placebo-injected hearts incurred a significant decline in basal (global, epi- and endocardial) circumferential strain compared with sham DOX-untreated mice (p = 0.043, p = 0.042, p = 0.048 respectively) while EV-CPC preserved these indices. Global longitudinal strain followed a similar pattern. In the rat model, IV injections of GMP-EV also preserved left ventricular end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes compared with untreated controls.ConclusionsIntravenously-injected extracellular vesicles derived from CPC have cardio-protective effects which may make them an attractive user-friendly option for the treatment of CCM.

BackgroundDistal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) is the most common chronic complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). DSPN may lead to more serious complications, such as diabetic foot ulcer, amputation, and reduced life expectancy. Observational studies have suggested that vitamin D deficiency may be associated with the development of DSPN in T2DM. However, interventional studies have found that low-dose vitamin D supplementation does not significantly improve neuropathy in DSPN. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intramuscular injection of high-dose vitamin D (HDVD) in T2DM with DSPN combined with vitamin D insufficiency.Methods and analysisWe will conduct a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled trial in four large hospitals. All eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either the vitamin D2 supplement or placebo control group and injected intramuscularly monthly for 3 months. Additionally, anthropometric measurements and clinical data will be collected at baseline and 3 months. Adverse events will be collected at 1, 2, and 3 months. The primary outcome measure is the change in the mean Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) score at baseline and 3 months post-intervention. We will use the gold-standard liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method to distinguish between 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3 levels. The MNSN score before the intervention will be used as a covariate to compare the changes between both groups before and after the intervention, and the analysis of covariance will be used to analyze the change in the MNSI score after HDVD supplementation.DiscussionGlycemic control alone does not prevent the progression of DSPN in T2DM. Some studies have suggested that vitamin D may improve DSPN; however, the exact dose, method, and duration of vitamin D supplementation are unknown. Additionally, neuropathy repair requires HDVD supplementation to sustain adequate vitamin D levels. This once-a-month intramuscular method avoids daily medication; therefore, compliance is high. This study will be the first randomized controlled trial in China to analyze the efficacy and safety of HDVD supplementation for patients with T2DM and DSPN and will provide new ideas for pharmacological research and clinical treatment of diabetic neuropathy.Clinical trial registrationhttps://www.chictr.org.cn/, identifier ChiCTR2200062266.

This study aimed to determine the impact of land use and illegal activities on elephant distributions in 2003, 2015, and 2021. Geospatial data inclusion satellite images of different characteristics were used as well as aerial count of animals along linear transects of varying widths. Using ArcMap 10.8, we laid grilles of 100 km2 covering the entire study area. We performed clipping to display and estimate the area of elephant’s occupancy in each grid. As such, we were able to determine the number of elephants and the number of illegal activities in each grid. Correlation analysis were performed to understand relationships between elephants’ number and land-use units as well as the illegal activities. The identified different land use units were: rainfed crop, gallery forest, Wooded savanna, shrubby savanna, grass savanna, and water surface. Of the variables studied, only annual crop, gallery forest, shrubby savanna and illegal activities were significantly correlated with elephant numbers. Annual crop and illegal activities were negatively correlated with elephant numbers, while gallery forest and shrubby savanna were positively correlated with elephant abundance. These results confirmed that water, forage and serenity are the main factors that explain the distribution of elephant in protected areas.
Variability in soil redox response to seasonal flooding in a vernal pond

Published: July 2023

Vernal ponds are ephemeral landscape features that experience intermittent flooding and drying, leading to variable saturation in underlying soils. Redox potential (Eh) is an important indicator of biogeochemical processes that changes in response to these hydrological shifts; however, high-resolution measurements of Eh in variably inundated environments remain sparse. In this study, the responses of soil Eh to ponding, drying, and rewetting of a vernal pond were investigated over a 5-month period from late spring through early autumn. Soil Eh was measured at 10-min frequencies and at multiple soil depths (2–48 cm below the soil surface) in shallow and deep sections within the seasonally ponded lowland and in unsaturated soils of the surrounding upland. Over the study period, average Eh in surface soils (0–8 cm) was oxidizing in the upland (753 ± 79 mV) but relatively reducing in the shallow lowland (369 ± 49 mV) and deep lowland (198 ± 37 mV). Reducing conditions (Eh &lt;300 mV) in surface soils prevailed for up to 6 days in the shallow lowland and up to 24 days in the deep lowland after surface water dried out. Intermittent reflooding resulted in multiple shifts between reducing and oxidizing conditions in the shallow lowland while the deep lowland remained reducing following reflooding. Soil Eh in the uplands was consistently oxidizing over the study period with transient increases in response to rain events. Reducing conditions in the lowland resulted in greater Fe-oxide dissolution and release of dissolved Fe and P into porewater than in the surrounding uplands. We determined that change in water depth alone was not a good indicator of soil Eh, and additional factors such as soil saturation and clay composition should be considered when predicting how Eh responds to surface flooding and drying. These findings highlight the spatial and temporal variability of Eh within ponds and have implications for how soil processes and ecosystem function are impacted by shifts in hydrology at terrestrial-aquatic interfaces.

Understanding the land use and land cover (LULC) pattern of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau in China is crucial to support the structural and functional integrity of the ecological barrier of the plateau. This information has significant implications not only for the ecological environment and regional development of the plateau but also for the broader environmental impact at regional and global levels. It is critical to comprehend the spatial pattern and ascertain the underlying causes of land use and land cover in significant areas of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. This can enable the formulation and implementation of context-specific policies and measures that can contribute to enhancing the ecological security barrier function of the plateau. This study focused on the core area of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau - the Qiangtang Plateau. Based on surface cover data from 2020 and ASTER GDEMV3 data, distribution indices and geographic detectors were used to explore the quantitative impact of land use/cover spatial patterns and terrain factors on land use/cover spatial distribution. The results showed the following: 1) The land use/cover space of the Qiangtang Plateau was dominated by grassland and bare land. Specifically, grassland had the greatest area, accounting for approximately 63.94% of the plateau area and covering an area of 449,983 km2. Grassland was widely distributed in most areas of the plateau. Bare land was the second-largest land cover type, with an area of 186,302 km2, accounting for 26.47% of the plateau area. Bare land was primarily located in the western and northern parts of the plateau. 2) The spatial differentiation of land use/cover in the Qiangtang Plateau was significant. Grasslands were primarily distributed in low mountainous areas characterized by high relief, gentle slopes, and low roughness. In contrast, bare land was mainly distributed in low mountainous areas with high relief, steep slopes, and low roughness. 3) The main drivers of the spatial distribution of land use/cover on the Qiangtang Plateau were elevation, roughness, and relief. Moreover, the interactions between these three terrain factors and other environmental variables significantly influenced the land use/cover pattern in the study area.
