Land suitability assessment is a prerequisite to achieving optimum utilization of the available land resources. Lack of knowledge on best combination of factors that suit production of wheat has contributed to the low produce. The study aims to assess land suitability of wheat production in kano using selected physical materials with the objectives to map out existing locations for wheat production in kano state, determine other areas that may be suitable for wheat production. The study utilized Landsat 8; Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) Multi-criteria Evaluator (MCE) integrated with GIS. Spatial factors for wheat cultivation such as soil texture, soil type, soil slope, rainfall range, geology map, elevation, land use land cover and their attribute were identified and were processed into spatial data. The factors were weighed according to their relevance. Land suitability model was constructed in ArcGIS software and spatial data were imported into (SRTM) and link to the land suitability model constructed. The spatial data integrated were computed and final visualization of land suitability map was produced and using ArcGIS 10.3 to identify potential areas. The result obtained showed that 16% were unsuitable, 19% were moderately suitable, 25% were highly suitably and then 40% were most suitable in the study area. Based on this finding, it is recommended that wheat cultivation should be practiced in a large scale in Kano state.","PeriodicalId":23739,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this cross-sectional study, 92 volunteers (57 infertile men and 35 fertile men) age 30-59 years who visited fertility clinics at the time of this study were recruited after thorough evaluation of their clinical fertility histories and confirmation of their fertility statuses, aided by Computer Assisted Semen Analyzer and WHO guidelines for semen analysis. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of SNPs in PRM2 in the semen samples was determined. BLAST results of the 5’-UTR of PRM2, identified 16 novel SNPs in total, in the infertile and fertile men. Out of the 16 SNPs discovered, 15 SNPs were found in the infertile men, randomly distributed and 7 SNPs were discovered in the fertile men. However, there were six SNPs which were common between the infertile and fertile men. The common SNPs occurred at one or more loci in the PRM2 in the infertile men than in the fertile men. We found one variant rs2069880799 (16C>T) present in the fertile men but missing in the infertile men. In general, the SNPs in PRM2 were statistically different between the infertile and fertile men when compared. All the SNPs discovered, according to NCBI database were clinically non pathological.","PeriodicalId":23739,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In sub-Saharan Africa, prevalence varies depending on the country and studies. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and search for factors associated with the most frequent clinical presentation of psoriasis in our context. Methodology: It was of a retrospective analytical cross-sectional study, over a period of 10 years. We included the files of patients diagnosed with psoriasis. The clinical form of psoriasis, age and comorbidities were collected. The analyzes were carried out using SPSS 22.0 software. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In total, out of 16,943 consultation files, 106 cases of psoriasis were included, i.e. a prevalence of 0.7%. The average age in our population was 38.1 ± 21.4 years with a male predominance, a sex ratio of 1.8. The most common clinical form was psoriasis vulgaris (69.9%). The most common comorbidities were hypertension (4.7%), followed by metabolic syndrome (3.7%), and HIV infection (3.7%). After multivariate analysis, being a pupil or student increased the risk of developing psoriasis vulgaris (7.2[1.1-6]; p<0.046).

Objective: This study aims to examine maternal factors associated with the occurrence of LBW Infants at the Haji Hospital, East Java Province Method: This study used a retrospective method with a case-control study design. This study took a sample of 258 infants with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection uses secondary data in the form of collection carried out in the delivery and medical records room. Result: Bivariate analysis obtained the results of gestational age (p < 0.001), history of LBW infants (p = 0.03), anemia (p = 0.641), hypertension in pregnancy (p < 0.001), maternal illness (p < 0.001) with the occurrence of LBW infants. Based on multivariate analysis, mothers with gestational age <37 weeks had OR 8.667 (95%CI 4.509-16.659), a history of LBW infant had OR 10.736 (95%CI 1.895-60.809), hypertension in pregnancy OR 2.468 (95%CI 1.250-4.869), and maternal illness OR 3.212 (95%CI 1.301-7.932) times to experience LBW infants. Conclusion: This study highlights the burden of caring for LBW infants in the Haji Hospital in East Java province. Maternal factors need to be given special attention during pregnancy.

The results obtained show that for a water variation of 16% and 20%, the staked specimens give higher compressive strengths than the vibrated specimens; while at 18% the resistances are approximately the same. In traction, the resistance varies in the same direction as the water variation and the addition of fibers makes it possible to improve this tensile resistance by bending. Furthermore, the best mechanical strengths are obtained in traction, which is about 1.00 MPa, and in compression, which is about 1.544 MPa for a water variation of 20% and for compaction energy by staking precisely at compression.","PeriodicalId":23739,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
