Air pollution in urban learning environments remains an important public health concern for young children, particularly where schools are located close to major roads and industrial activities. Early Childhood Development Education centres located near high-traffic roads, transport corridors, and industrial zones are especially exposed to elevated concentrations of particulate matter, which pose…

Background: Hyperlipidemia, exacerbated by high-fat diet and cigarette smoke exposure, is a key risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, and Avicennia marina fruit extract may offer promising hypolipidemic benefits as a natural therapeutic agent. Aims: To evaluate the hypolipidemic effect of ethanol extract of Avicennia marina fruit (EEAF) in hyperlipidemic rats induced by a combination of a high…

Maintenance management in commercial buildings has evolved from a repair after failure approach to a proactive, tech-enabled strategy. Yet in emerging markets, practices often stay stuck in reactive mode, hampered by an infrastructure gap and institutional hurdles. This study bridges that divide by introducing the Smart Maintenance Maturity Model (SMMM), custom-built for commercial facilities in …

Credibility of policy is very essential in institutional effectiveness, fiscal discipline and economic stability especially in advanced economies where the quality of governance has a strong impact on economic performance. In the United States, a growing discussion on policy inconsistency, political polarization and administrative fragmentation has escalated debate of the ability of the federal i…

Centrifugal casting is a manufacturing process used to form cylindrical components with a central axis of rotatio. In continuous casting process, molten metal flows into the continuous casting mould, cools by cold water, and pulls out after solidification. In this research work, the effects of mold materials on mechanical properties of aluminium were investigated. Mould materials were prepared fr…

The regulation of lipid pathways throughout gestation significantly impacts foetal maturation, neonatal health, and the future cardiovascular risks faced by the mother. Both fatty acids and cholesterol serve as essential building blocks for healthy foetal growth. During a typical pregnancy, women undergo a sequence of metabolic shifts that modify their lipid profiles. The early stages are primari…

The visual outcome of cataract surgery is a critical measure of its effectiveness and is an essential aspect of quality control in ophthalmic care. The burden of cataracts is especially pronounced in developing countries. This study investigated the characteristics of patients who had cataract surgery and their subsequent visual outcomes. Data was collected from a total of 117 patients, with a me…

Delhi NCR-Region, India, is considered one of those cities which draws nation-wide attention because of its extreme climatic dynamics. Hence, a comprehensive study of this region is required for assessing its extreme climatic trends, environmental stress, and urban degradation. The core objective of this study is to understand the climatic dispersions, inter-relationship between climatic variable…

Nanoparticles (NPs), nanotubes, rods, and sheets made of rare earth metals have recently become the material of choice for many device applications. This study aims to synthesise Y₂O₃ nanoparticles using the laser ablation technique in two different liquid media (deionized water and ethanol) and investigate their structural, morphological, optical, and chemical properties, as well as to evaluate …

Topical antifungal therapy remains the primary treatment for superficial fungal infections; however, conventional formulations often show limited therapeutic effectiveness due to poor skin penetration, low drug retention, and frequent dosing requirements. Ethosome-based nanocarrier systems have emerged as a promising strategy to enhance transdermal drug delivery due to their unique composition an…

Tuition costs are a key factor in how universities compete and how students make choices, especially for private universities that rely on tuition for funding. Although tuition details are easy to find online, there has been little research on how this information is presented on specific tuition and financial aid webpages, rather than across whole university websites. This study uses a qualitati…

Waste segregation at source is increasingly recognized as a pivotal component in achieving sustainable development and fostering a circular economy, particularly in rural areas where centralized waste management systems are limited. This paper critically reviews global and Vietnamese practices related to household waste segregation at source, emphasizing its environmental, economic, and social be…

Normally, financial institutions issue loans to customers aiming to recover the repayments within the scheduled time. However defaults, common with digital credit, cause them significant financial risks. Advancement in technology has created digital loan products. Unfortunately,in developing economies such as Kenya,the growth rate of such products has outpaced development of sound credit risk ass…

Objective: The growth and expansion of the healthcare industry is associated with the production of large amounts of waste. It is unclear whether healthcare facilities are applying sustainable waste management strategies that promote a circular economy. This study synthesizes evidence on the extent to which healthcare facilities have adopted sustainable strategies to support a circular economy in…

This study applies the Buys-Ballot procedure to decompose and analyze the monthly turnaround time of vessels at Tincan Island Port, Lagos, Nigeria, covering the period from 2015 to 2024. The primary objective is to identify the appropriate time series model—additive, multiplicative, or mixed that best represents the data structure and seasonal behavior of vessel turnaround operations at the port.…

Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil producer and a key member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), has an economy deeply rooted in petroleum production and exports. Since the discovery of oil at Oloibiri in 1956, the sector has driven national revenue, foreign exchange earnings, and infrastructural growth, while also contributing to economic volatility, environmental degradation…

Wafer defect maps serve as a primary diagnostic tool for process engineers, enabling the visualization of spatial defect distributions and the identification of potential equipment or process issues. As technology nodes shrink and device densities increase, the volume of inspection data has grown exponentially, rendering manual inspection impractical and necessitating automated solutions for defe…

With the global shift to renewable energy sources, there has been growing interest in biodiesel, which is a more environmentally and economically sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Nevertheless, conventional catalytic materials currently used in biodiesel production processes are faced with efficiency, stability, soap formation, and environmental problems. Thus, this paper gives a scientifi…

Introduction: Obesity is an emerging public health challenge in low-income countries undergoing rapid nutritional and socio-economic transition. Local analytical evidence remains limited in Burundi. Methodology: An analytical case-control study was conducted by involving 90 participants, including 30 obese cases (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) and 60 normal-weight controls (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m²). Data were colle…

The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has introduced unprecedented security vulnerabilities, with botnet attacks representing persistent threats to network infrastructure. While machine learning-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) show promise in laboratory settings, real-world deployment faces challenges including extreme class imbalance, resource constraints, and false…
