Fostering innovation and entrepreneurship through university libraries: The case of Federal University, Dutse, Nigeria

This paper examines the changing role of university libraries, specifically the Federal University Dutse (FUD) Library, in fostering entrepreneurship and innovation. Once seen merely as stores of knowledge, libraries have evolved into vibrant centers that drive economic development, especially in promoting entrepreneurial activities. In light of Nigeria’s significant unemployment rates among university graduates, this paper investigates the initiatives of the Federal University, Dutse's Library and its partnership with the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (CEED) in nurturing entrepreneurial skills. Since its inception in 2014, CEED has been instrumental in providing education, training, and skill development across various fields, with active participation from library staff. By offering workshops, mentorship programmes, access to resources, and technological support, the FUD Library has taken on a vital role in encouraging self-sufficiency and innovation among students. Furthermore, collaborations with American Corners have enhanced these entrepreneurial initiatives, providing networking opportunities and exposure to global best practices. The paper also addresses the obstacles Nigerian graduates encounter in developing entrepreneurial skills due to deficiencies in traditional academic programmes, emphasizing how libraries can fill these gaps by equipping individuals with the essential tools for business development and innovation. In this way, the FUD Library is establishing itself as a key player in promoting socio-economic advancement, illustrating how university libraries can help tackle unemployment and nurture a new wave of entrepreneurs in Nigeria.

Optimization of Ski Attitude for the In-Flight Aerodynamic Performance of Ski Jumping

The control and adjustment of in-flight attitudes are critical to enlarging the flight distance of ski jumping. As one of the most important gears, the skis provide sufficient lift and drag forces for the athletes, and thus their in-flight attitudes should be optimized to improve flight performance. Here, the lift-to-drag ratio of a ski jumping ski is optimized with/without a constraint of lift capacity. The ski attitude is defined by three Eulerian angles and the resulting aerodynamic characteristics are predicted by Kriging models, which are established based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data. The surrogated models are dynamically updated in the optimization process to ensure their accuracy. Our results find that the optimization of the lift-to-drag ratio should be constrained by a certain lift capacity to be more practical. The angle of attack of the ski dominates the optimal lift-to-drag ratio at different lift levels while the yaw and roll angles are almost independent of the constraint once the required lift coefficient surpasses 0.6. This thus suggests that the athletes should focus on the angle of attack when modifying the ski attitude in the flight, which may reduce the difficulties in their in-flight decision makings.

Identification of Optic Nerve Swelling Using Point-of-Care Ocular Ultrasound in Children

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility and accuracy of point-of-care (POC) ocular ultrasound (US) when performed by a pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physician to detect optic nerve abnormalities concerning for swelling, as compared with the fundus examination performed by an ophthalmologist. Methods This was a single-center, prospective cohort pilot study of children aged 12 months to 18 years who required optic disc evaluation by an ophthalmologist. Eligible subjects were enrolled from the emergency department, inpatient wards, and neuro-ophthalmology outpatient clinic of an urban, tertiary care children’s hospital. Point-of-care ocular US, specifically assessing optic nerve sheath diameter and optic disc elevation, was performed. Findings on US were compared with findings identified by an ophthalmologist on dilated fundus examination. Results Seventy-six subjects were enrolled; 20 (26%) of 76 had findings concerning for optic nerve swelling diagnosed by an ophthalmologist on fundus examination. Using a sonographic definition for optic nerve swelling of optic nerve sheath diameter greater than 4.5 mm or the presence of optic disc elevation, the sensitivity and specificity were 90% and 55%, respectively. The success rate of POC ocular US was 100%, and the mean time to completion was 8 minutes. For emergency department subjects in whom direct fundus examination was attempted, the PEM physician could visualize the optic disc and assess for swelling in only 40% (14/35) of examinations. Conclusions The results of our study suggest that POC ocular US performed by PEM physicians was feasible and determined to be sensitive but nonspecific in the detection of optic nerve swelling. Additional larger studies may determine generalizability to other nonophthalmologist physicians performing POC ocular US.

Invariance of Projections in the Diagonal of a Nest Algebra

The study of operator factorization along commutative subspace lattices which are not nests leads to the investigation of the mapping ${\phi _A}$ which takes an orthogonal projection $Q$ in the diagonal of a nest algebra $\mathcal {A}$ to the projection on the closure of the range of AQ for certain bounded linear operators $A$. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that if $B$ is an operator leaving the range of $Q$ invariant, $V$ is an element of the "Larson radical" of $\mathcal {A},B + V$ is invertible, ${(B + V)^{ - 1}}$ belongs to $\mathcal {A}$, and ${\phi _{B + V}}(Q)$ is in the diagonal of $\mathcal {A}$, then ${\phi _V}(Q) \leq Q$. For example, if $V$ is in the Jacobson radical of $\mathcal {A}$ and $\lambda$ is a nonzero scalar, it follows that ${\phi _{\lambda I + V}}(Q) = Q$ if and only if ${\phi _{\lambda I + V}}(Q)$ belongs to the diagonal of $\mathcal {A}$. Examples of the applications to operator factorization and unitary equivalence of sets of projections are given.

Cyclists&amp;apos; attitudes toward policies encouraging bicycle travel: findings from the Taupo Bicycle Study

Utility cycling provides substantial health, environmental and economic benefits. Despite a favourable trend in leisure-time cycling, cycling is infrequently used for every-day travel needs in New Zealand. This study investigated cyclists ’ attitudes toward environmental and policy measures that would encourage them to cycle more, par-ticularly for a trip to work. A cross-sectional analysis was undertaken using baseline data obtained from the Taupo Bicycle Study, a web-based longitudinal study. The study population comprised 2469 cyclists, aged 16 years or over, who had enrolled in the 2006 Wattyl Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge. The majority (88%) reported the provision of bicycle lanes as an important factor that would encourage them to cycle more often, followed by bicycle paths (76%), better bicycle security (64%), reduced motor vehicle speed (55%) and bike friendly public transport (38%). Of those who reported travelling to work at least once a week (N 2223), varying proportions reported shower facilities at work (61%), fewer difficult intersec-tions (43%), rising fuel costs (41%), fewer car parks (27%), bike designed to commute (26%) and rising cost of car parking (25%) as important factors that would encourage them to cycle to work more often. There were important differences in these perceived influences defined by the participants ’ socio-demographic characteristics and current cycling habits.

Functional characterization of hybrid receptors composed of a truncated insulin receptor and wild type insulin-like growth factor 1 or insulin receptors

To assess the characteristics of hybrid receptors composed of one kinase-inactive alpha beta-insulin half-receptor and one endogenous alpha beta-insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) or insulin half-receptor, a cell line expressing an insulin receptor truncated by 365 amino acids (HIR delta 978) was studied, which lacks most of the cytoplasmic beta-subunit. Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions revealed four distinct receptor species: endogenous receptors, the more rapidly migrating HIR delta 978 homodimer, and two intermediate species representing HIR delta 978/IGF-1 hybrid receptors and HIR delta 978/IR hybrid receptors. In vivo ligand-binding affinity of the hybrid receptors was studied by receptor-ligand cross-linking, and the delta 978/IGF-1R hybrid receptor was found to have a high affinity for IGF-1, whereas its affinity for insulin was low. Autophosphorylation studies of lectin-purified receptors revealed that neither the HIR delta 978 holoreceptor nor the hybrid receptors underwent autophosphorylation in response to either ligand, despite the presence of intact IGF-1 or insulin half-receptors in the hybrids. Neither hybrid receptor underwent ligand-induced endocytosis, as assessed with the bioactive photoaffinity probes B2(2-nitro-4-azidophenylacetyl)-des-PheB1-insulin and N-epsilon B28-monoazidobenzoyl-IGF-1. In conclusion, the HIR delta 978/IGF-1R hybrid receptor has a high in vivo affinity for IGF-1 but not for insulin. Neither the delta 978/IGF-1R nor the delta 978/IR hybrids undergo autophosphorylation or ligand-induced endocytosis in response to either ligand, indicating that intramolecular trans-, rather than cis-, signal transduction is important in mediating autophosphorylation and endocytosis.

Wound Healing Properties of Pelargonium Graveolens L'Hér ExtractLipogel: In-Vivo Evaluation in an Animal Burn Model

Background: Pelargonium graveolens L'Hér has traditionally been used to reduce skin inflammation, and recent studies have confirmed antioxidant compounds in the plant's extract. The present study aimed to prepare a lipogel formulation from P. graveolens hydroalcoholic extract and evaluate its efficacy on the wound healing process in an animal model. Material and Methods: The aerial part extract of P. graveolens was prepared through percolation. Additionally, plastibase was prepared by mixing 5% of low-molecular-weight polyethylene with hot mineral oil (130°C). The extract (5%) was levigated in the mineral oil (5-15%) and dispersed in the cooled plastibase. The physical properties of the lipogel, thermal stability, and microbial limits were tested. Further, the effect of the lipogel in the wound healing rate was examined among male Wistar rats, and skin tissue samples were assessed histologically. Results and Discussion: The results represented the best rheological and thermal stability characteristics in the formulation with 5% mineral oil (as the levigator). The lipogel-treated group had the least burn area compared to the silver sulfadiazine and negative control groups (p&lt;0.05). The microscopic examination of tissue samples revealed increased collagen fiber production and maturation and significantly also faster epithelial repair among lipogel-treated rats than in the other two groups(p&lt;0.05). Conclusion: The results indicated the significant therapeutic effects of P. graveolens lipogelon burn healing. The suitable physicochemical properties and the low lipogel production cost facilitate further scale-up studies.
