A cross-sectional study was conducted among sixty (60) consented manual faecal sludge evacuators using a validated questionnaire and in-depth interview guide. Hands swab samples were also collected for microbial load count. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and t-test at p=0.05. Respondents’ mean age was 48.2±13.3 years, 75.0% had at least primary education, 18.3% had spent more than 19 years on the job. Average monthly income was 22,546.80±3,341.90 NGN (1US$=NGN 416). Only 18.3% reported that they use PPE during emptying while 53.3% reported that they usually do hand washing with water and soap. In-depth interview of participants emphasised that the protective foot wear becomes completely soaked and making movement difficult and slow during the emptying operations. Major hazards reported by the manual evacuators were odour (41.7%), gas fumes/aerosols (18.3%) and dust (6.6%). Salmonella, Shigella and E. coli were isolated from the hand wash water samples from the manual evacuators. Eschericia coli count (cfu/mL) was significantly higher among evacuators without PPE during evacuation (4.1±2.6)×103) compared to their counterpart with PPE during evacuation (1.4±0.8)×103). Feacal sludge management by the manual evacuators was unwholesome while utilization of PPE was low among manual faecal sludge evacuators. Salmonella/shigella and E. coli was higher among evacuators that did not use PPE. Regular use of personal protective equipment and compliance with hygiene standards relating to the work should be enforced among manual fecal sludge evacuators.","PeriodicalId":394579,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research Updates","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133371795","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}

A random and purposive sampling were used to select farmers from different council wards and a total 100 respondents were selected as sample size for the study. Factor analysis, and multiple regression were used to determine the factors affecting the use of farm power, examine the effect of tractor power on area cultivated of food crops, analyze the effect of tractor power on farm productivity and assess the effect of tractor power on poverty level of farmers in the study area. The study revealed that an increase in tractor power used will lead to increase in area cultivated of food crops by 2.24 hectares; a unit increase in tractor power use will lead to increase in farm productivity by 361.05 tonnes per ha; a unit increase in tractor power used will lead to decrease in poverty level of farmers by 0.77 units. The study therefore recommends that, Agricultural policy makers should place more emphasis on the development of small-scale farmers particularly in the use of appropriate and affordable farm power options, credit acquisition amongst others.","PeriodicalId":394579,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research Updates","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129886373","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}

Sensitive PCR with specific primer sets revealed protozoan nuclear DNA and kinetoplast DNA in agarose gels bands probed with radiolabel specific sequences for tissues of T. cruzi-infected rabbits and mice. Avian species are refractory to the infection, but chicks that hatched from T. cruzi-inoculated eggs retained the kinetoplast DNA in the embryonic germ line cells and developed parasite-free Chagas disease-like cardiomyopathy. A Target-primer TAIL-PCR with specific primer sets, Southern hybridization, cloning, and sequencing of the amplification products revealed kinetoplast minicircle sequences integration sites mainly in LINE-1 transposable elements and hitchhiking to several loci. This kinetoplast DNA biomarker was used to monitor the effect of multidrug treatment of T. cruzi-infected mice. A trypanocidal nitro heterocyclic compound in combination with an array of inhibitors of eukaryotic cell division prevented minicircle sequences transfer. Nine out of 12 inhibitors prevented the kinetoplast DNA integration into the macrophage genome. The multidrug treatment of T. cruzi-infected mice with benznidazole, azidothymidine and ofloxacin lowered the rate of minicircle sequences integrations into the mouse genome by 2.44-fold and reduced the rejection of the target heart cells.","PeriodicalId":394579,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research Updates","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132558761","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}

Initial observations, in Tandang village, there are densely populated areas, many rats of various types were found, including Rattus norvegicus, Rattus tanezumi and possibly other types that cause zoonoses. This study aims to examine the distribution of rats and their endoparasites in the Tandang village. The research method is analytical descriptive research. Traps were set at several points around dense settlements and markets. Data obtained by conducting random sampling. From the results of detaintment, 104 rats were obtained, consisting of 5 species namely Rattus norvegicus, Rattus tanezumi, Rattus exulans, Bandicota indica. Mus musculus. Endoparasites found in intestinal organs in the form of the tapeworm Hymenolephis sp., Trichuris trichiura worm eggs, Hymenolepis sp. The distribution of rats was found in dense residential areas, with 27 rats (22.21%) Rattus norvegicus, and 21 rats (20.19%) compared to their distribution in the market. The eggs of these parasitic worms are known to cause infection to humans through objects that encounterd with soil, sewage, etc. and are eventually swallowed. Symptoms experienced when infected include diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, and anorexia.","PeriodicalId":394579,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research Updates","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121692540","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}

A protected forest is a type of forest that functions as a life support system. This function is specific, so there is a need for a strategy to develop and maintain the sustainability of natural resources. The forest management unit (FMU) is a regulation on management at the site level. One of the KPHs in Lampung province, namely the Pesawaran FMU, has the potential for non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and environmental services. This research aims to analyze the forest utilization management plan in the Pesawaran FMU register. The number of primary respondents is three based on the Snowball Sampling technique. The analytical method used is the descriptive qualitative analysis based on information on primary and secondary data. It is supported by a SWOT analysis to analyze preferences for forest product utilization plans in the Pesawaran FMU according to conditions in the field. The results showed that all respondents stated that the Pesawaran FMU area had potential natural resources in the form of NTFPs and environmental services. It is necessary to optimize community empowerment so that they have the competence to develop this potential to be utilized as a creative economic business in the form of products selling value and using environmental services as tourist objects. There is a need for stakeholder involvement related to the coordination of management and utilization permits which can increase communication and reduce the risk of conflict.","PeriodicalId":394579,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research Updates","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128445520","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}
