This study examined the limitations of agrosilvopastoral practices among households in Ogun State. A well thought out questionnaire was used to gather information from 240 respondents in total. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data collected. Findings revealed that agrosilvopastoral practices were dominated by men, with a mean age and family size of 54 years and 6 persons respectively. More over half (62.25%) of the farmers were literate with mean years of experience in farming being 26years. Result revealed that inadequate capital (1st) is the most serious challenge facing the agrosilvopastoral households, followed by insect infestation (2nd), instability in market price (3rd), inadequate access to land for farming (4th), high cost of transportation (5th), insufficient market centers (6th), source of inputs (7th), technical knowledge (8th), mode of land acquisition (9th) and animal destruction of crops (10th). The study thereby recommends that extension workers from different organizations should educate farmers about agrosilvopastoral practices through seminars, and backing being offered to farmers in the terms of loans, hybrid seeds and credit provision for increased production.","PeriodicalId":479809,"journal":{"name":"Fudma Journal of Sciences","volume":"402 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140473025","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 study on factors responsible for the poor compliance to dietary regimens by diabetic clients has been conducted. In this study, the level of devotion and factors that persuade non-adherence to non-pharmaceutical control among patients with type-2 diabetes were assessed. A study was conducted at the Sir Yahaya Memorial Hospital Birnin Kebbi in Kebbi State, which involved adult patients receiving care at the diabetic clinics. This was a cross-sectional study carried out within the hospital premises. A structured Questionnaire was used to assess the dietary regiment adherence. A total of 120 patients with diabetes were recruited via non random sampling method, 78 (65%) patients are males while 42 (35%) are females. The data were analyzed using proportion. About 45% were not-adherent to their dietary regimen (forgot), 25% took their regimen regularly while 30% took their diet in response to the sign and symptom of the disease. Factors responsible for poor compliance to diet were: diet not palatable 58.3%, diet so expensive 40% while 1.7% reported diet does not improve their condition. The quantity of participants’ advocate to dietary regimen was suboptimal. Diet not palatable and expensive nature of the diet was the key predictors of poor devotion. Therefore, strategies for increasing dietary devotion are considered to be essential.","PeriodicalId":479809,"journal":{"name":"Fudma Journal of Sciences","volume":"585 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140472559","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}

Raman spectroscopy was used to observe the microstructural specifics of the Ag:a-C composites. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed significant increase in particle grain size and surface roughness of the films at varying fluences. Optical absorption spectra showed that the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) of pristine Ag occurs at visible wavelength of about 428 nm but exhibited a blue shifting (~ 32 nm) in the implanted films. The blue shift in plasmonic wavelength occurs due to the fluence-induced increase in grain size and density of the Ag particles as confirmed by AFM. Optical band gap energy () and Urbach parameter () of the pristine carbon film increased, with fluence, from 2.89 eV to 1.60 eV and 3.60 eV to 4.22 eV respectively. The observed optically active parameters strongly indicate that the composites would make good candidates for photon retention towards the enhancement of solar cells’ efficiency.","PeriodicalId":479809,"journal":{"name":"Fudma Journal of Sciences","volume":"85 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140470529","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}

However, traditional forecasting methods often struggle to capture the complex dynamics of military spending. This study investigates the potential of statistical methods and machine learning to improve the accuracy of Nigerian military expenditure prediction. We compare the performance of three widely used models: multiple linear regression (MLR), autoregressive integrated moving average with exogenous variables (ARIMAX), and artificial neural networks (ANN). Using historical data on Nigerian military expenditure, GDP, and relevant economic indicators, we train and evaluate each model's prediction accuracy. We also employ statistical tests to assess the normality of residuals in the two distinct models of MLR and ARIMAX. Our findings indicate that the machine learning model, particularly ANN, significantly outperforms MLR in terms of prediction accuracy. ARIMAX shows promising results but lags behind ANN. We attribute the superior performance of the ANN to its ability to capture non-linear relationships and complex patterns in the data. This study adds to the body of knowledge by highlighting how machine learning methods can be used to increase the accuracy of military expenditure forecasts. Furthermore, the specific focus on Nigeria provides valuable insights into the unique dynamics of military spending in a developing country.","PeriodicalId":479809,"journal":{"name":"Fudma Journal of Sciences","volume":"36 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140477733","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}

However, since it may contain nutrients, aquaculture effluents could offer a sustainable source of irrigation water in the drylands, which are characterized by water scarcity. This paper provides preliminary findings on aquaculture effluent generation and management in Kano State which is located in Nigerian drylands. Surveys were conducted to obtain information related to the production size, sources of water, and effluent handling. 87% of the surveyed farms are small-scale and medium-scale enterprises, with capacities below 5000 fish. Catfish and Tilapia are the commonly produced fish, with 67% of the farms producing the former. Groundwater is the common source of water utilized by farms, accounting for about 72% of the total. Our findings indicate that there are no established criteria for changing the pond water, with the farms considering either the color of the water or its duration in the pond. Most of the farms change the water every 1 to 2 weeks while considering the change in color as the major criterion. The majority of the farms discharge the effluents directly without any treatment. Although some of the farms claimed to be treating their effluents, we could not establish the presence of treatment technologies on the farms. Unfortunately, most of the farmers are unaware of the environmental implications of discharging the effluents without treatment. Further studies are needed to characterize these effluents and to evaluate their suitability as irrigation water.","PeriodicalId":479809,"journal":{"name":"Fudma Journal of Sciences","volume":"11 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140477285","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}

This study was aimed at assessing the contamination of Naira notes in Ungwan Rimi area of Kaduna State and to determine the antibiotics resistance patterns of the isolated bacteria. A total of 160 samples of naira notes, were collected randomly from staff and students, marketers, hospital and pharmacies, food vendors and transporters at strategic spots in Ungwan Rimi. Bacteria isolation and identification of samples were carried out using spread plate technique on medium and standard biochemical characterization, respectively. Antibiotics susceptibility testing were carried out using agar disc diffusion method. Isolates that were non-susceptible to at least one antimicrobial agent in three or more antimicrobial classes were classified as multidrug resistant (MDR), those that remain susceptible to agent(s) in only one or two classes as extended drug resistant (XDR) while pandrug resistant (PDR) isolates were classified as those isolates that were resistant to all antibiotics used. Highest bacterial load was observed with N100 notes with marketers (5.33 x 105) while the least bacterial load was 1.2 x 104 in N50 notes from hospitals and pharmacies.
