THE OMO-ONILE SCOURGE AND RESIDENTIAL LAND OWNERSHIP IN OSUN, NIGERIA. []


Purpose: The study evaluates the emerging trend of land grabbing and its probable effects on residential real estate development in the Owode-Ede urban settlement of Osun state, Nigeria, to expose the factors necessitating land grabbers activities in the study area. Design/methodology/approach – To achieve the purpose, the researcher embarked on a reconnaissance survey of Owode-Ede Neighbourhood settlement. The three residential neighbourhoods from where 1,230 residential sites identified were selected through purposive sampling technique, and 861 plots representing 70% were randomly picked for the study and thus formed the unit of investigation. The questionnaire designed and used targeted obtaining information on respondents' socio-demographic characteristics, residential plot acquisition and ownership security, land grabbers' (omo-oniles) mode of operation, causal factors, and their effect on real estate development. Data collected were analysed using Frequency Distribution Tables, Mean and Standard Deviation, and mean weighted values. Findings: The findings revealed that 97.6% of the respondents are male, 96.2% are married, and 3.5% are single. The respondents' age distribution shows that 61.6% of the landowners sampled are between the ages of 45-54years. The age bracket is the active, working population and productive age of the society. However, the respondents' educational profile revealed 83.7%; 15.1% and 1.2% had tertiary, secondary, and primary education. The study, therefore, concluded that the need to checkmate the demented activities of land grabbers and their emerging antics that are inimical to real property development/investment through stringent measures must be emphasised. Originality/value: The study is amongst the few attempts at exploring the challenges of real estate developer/investors in the hands of omo-onile (land grabbers) and the first bold step in the study area. Keywords: Omo-onile. Land Grabbers, Residential Land, Land Ownership, Residential Real Estate.

TREATMENT OF TEXTILE EFFLUENT CONTAINING REACTIVE BLACK 5 DYE USING ADVANCED OXIDATION []


Wastewaters originated from textile industry contain various pollutants including a high content of organic matter and color problem depending on forms of dyes, surface-active materials. Azo dyes are difficult to degrade by the current conventional treatment processes. They are characterized by the presence of the nitrogen-nitrogen bond (-N=N-) in the center and hence they are highly electron deficient. Several biological, chemical methods for degradation of textile effluents are being followed, but real challenge is to find a method that is effective, comparatively fast and cost effective. Advanced oxidation is an emerging field that uses oxidants producing hydroxyl radicals to oxidize toxic compounds into non-harmful by-products. The effectiveness of photo-oxidation on reactive black 5, a widely used complex structured azo dye, was evaluated. Dye concentrations in the range of 50-500mg/L were treated with UV alone and H2O2 /UV under 12 different residence time (5.2-60 min). The best combination was selected for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) analysis to determine the amount of chemicals retained in the effluent after treatment. The textile industry produces effluents with a pH of 10-11 and hence, the dye pH was adjusted to 10-11. The effects of UV radiation, UV/ 10 ml H2O2 and UV/ 20 ml H2O2 were evaluated and the results were compared to select the best oxidation method. The maximum degradation obtained after 60 min exposure to UV alone was 27.01% and 0.33% for 50 mg/L dye concentration and 500 mg/L dye concentration, respectively. The degradation obtained after exposure to UV/10 ml/L H2O2 was 99.70% after 25.4 min for the 50 mg/L concentration and 99.70% after 60 min for the 500 mg/L concentration. Exposure to UV/ 20 ml/L H2O2 resulted in the degradation of 99.96% after 20 min for the 50 mg/L dye concentration and 99.95% degradation after 60 min for the 500 mg/L dye concentration. Increasing the H2O2 from 10 mg/L to 20 mg/L, (UV/20 ml/L H2O2) improved the oxidation efficiency and reduced the treatment time. The Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) analysis performed on UV/20 ml/L H2O2 treated samples showed the COD of the effluent (after treatment) was 416 mg/L after 20 min for the 50 mg/L dye concentration and 256 mg/L after 60 min for the 500 mg/L dye concentrations which are higher than the COD discharge limit of 250 mg/L. The COD discharge limit of 250 mg/L could be achieved with UV/ 20 ml/L treatment by increasing the exposure time (longer than 60 min). The pH of the treated effluent is within the discharge-accepted limit of 6-9. Treatment of the dye effluent under alkaline condition was slower but it does not justify at the acidic condition due to the cost of chemicals addition to adjust the pH and the further treatment to remove the chemicals before disposal. The temperature after treatment was always found to be increased from 22ᵒC to 41ᵒC after 60 min of exposure to UV.

The Equity State of Employment Generation Program for the Poorest: A case in Mohonpur Upozila under Rajshahi District in Bangladesh []


Employment Generation Program for the Poorest (EGPP) scheme is one of the important workfare programs as social safety nets in Bangladesh through which the local working poor get the chance to work and survive. This is a cash-based package aiming to help rural extreme poor providing employment during lean season over two cycles for 80 days. EGPP generally involves participants for doing physical work for rural community. This paper focuses on the EGPP scheme aimed toward stating equity in two Unions—Moughachhi and Bakshimuil—in Mohonpur Upazila under Rajshahi district. It provides an assessment of EGPP focused on equity based on beneficiary selection, allowance distribution, and implementation. Following a mixed method approach where data have been collected through questionnaire survey, FGD, and KII. The findings indicate that the transfers are not always distributed among the poor and vulnerable people who deserve to receive the allocation for fighting against poverty and vulnerability. Existing discontent proved that the selection procedure of beneficiaries in EGPP scheme is not quite satisfactory and still inequitable as near about half of the beneficiaries said the distribution is not fair. The study findings also specify that people remain in vulnerable situation even after taking this scheme... Initiatives could be taken in increasing allowance, changing beneficiary selection procedure and monitoring intensification which can contribute to promote in facilitating peoples’ livelihood against poverty and vulnerability.

The Impact of Microfinance on Smallholder Agricultural Productivity in Sierra Leone: A case study of Koinadugu District. []


Agriculture contributes significantly to the economy of Sierra Leone making it the most vibrant sector employing about 75% of the population in the country with majority settling in rural areas. The rural sector of the country is blessed with productive arable parcels of land suitable for agriculture in which majority of its participants are smallholder farmers predominantly involved in small-scale farming. These farmers lack the financial wherewithal to graduate their agricultural practices from subsistence to commercial, with the aim of increasing household incomes. The only area they have relied on to augment their financial needs andfarm productivity is on microfinance, an activity that has contributed greatly to the improvement of the socio-economic condition of smallholder farmers in the country. This research discloses the impact of microfinance on smallholder agricultural productivity in Koinadugu district in Sierra Leone. Rice, the leading produce produced by farmers in the district, is used to represent agricultural productivity. A total sample size of 100 farmers was collected from the frame out of which 50 farmers were selected from each of thetwo groups- clients and non-clients through a random and purposive sampling techniques. Analyses of the collected data was done through descriptive statistics, Independent Samples T-Test, Cross-tabulations and Chi-Square test of significance and multiple regression analysis. A multiple regression model was employed to measure the determinant factors of rice output in the analysis. The study found that even though clients of microfinance realized high agricultural productivity comparative to the non-clients, the rural financial institutions which heavily rely on depositor’s money, did not provide exclusive loans for agriculture, the utilization of other loan portfolios makes it difficult for farmers to secure long-term loans, forcing them to engage into petty trading as an income diversification strategy to pay their loans on time. Major challenges such high interest rates, inadequate Information about agricultural loans, delay in loan disbursement were unearthed by the study. In future, farmers will be constrained by short-term loans if the government does not capitalize these financial institutions for exclusive agricultural lending. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key words: Microfinance, Smallholder,Productivity, Sierra Leone, Koinadugu.

Conceptual study of Social Media marketing and its influence on fashion industry ( special reference to fashion brands ) []


In the past decade, social media has redefined the world we are living in. What began as a means to communicate, maintain contact, or reconnect with old friends, has slowly but surely evolved into a crucial part of our daily lives; severely altering the way business is done. One specific area of business that has been particularly affected by the social media revolution is the fashion industry. Through the institution of social media, what was once only available to elite insiders is now accessible by the masses. For example, because of a designer’s Facebook page, Twitter feed, or Instagram account, those previously unconnected to high fashion can now watch live footage from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week taking place in New York City, an opportunity that was once only limited to industry insiders, celebrities, and socialites. The fashion industry, as most business by and large, has been intensely affected lately by the presentation of social media. Internet based life has changed the manner by which individuals impart, yet in addition how firms publicize and arrive at their customer. The motivation behind this exploration was to investigate the manners in which web based life impacts style utilization, explicitly among the female, school age segment.

KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDE ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ATTENDING CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING PROGRAM AMONG WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE (30-49 YEARS) IN DODOMA REGION, TANZANIA. A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY. []


Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer in women with an estimated 530,000 new cases in 2012 representing 7.9% of all female cancers worldwide. The burden of which is most evidenced in the devel-oping (lower and middle income) countries especially sub-Saharan African countries. Cervical cancer screening programs have proven to be beneficial and are associated with decreased incidence and mortality from the disease in developed countries but the coverage of which is still a challenge in developing countries. Methodology: This study employed a cross-sectional study design, where 185 women were selected through a multistage sampling method to comprise a study sample. Data collection was done via self-administered and inter-viewer-administered semi-structured questionnaires distributed among the study participants and interview respectively. The data collected were then analyzed using a Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23, whereby frequencies were determined, also cross-tabulations and Chi-square were used for bivariate analysis and significance test. Results: Among the 185 respondents who took part in this study, overall, 84.9% had low knowledge of cervical cancer screening among them most were middle adults 66.2%, primary education 65.6%, self-employed 71.3%, and low economic status 89.8%. Attitude on other hand was generally positive 62.7% among the respondents, whereby most of them were middle adults 66.2%, with low economic status 89.8%, and most were married 73.9%. Conclusion: Women had overall low knowledge regarding cervical cancer screening and an overall positive attitude, but since screening is considered the best approach in preventing cervical cancer in developing countries, awareness campaigns to increase cervical cancer screening acceptability are crucial.

ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE ON THE USE OF HPV VACCINE AMONG PARENTS WITH FEMALE ADOLESCENTS AGED 9-14 YEARS IN DODOMA REGION, TANZANIA. A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY []


Background: The success of the HPV vaccination program requires awareness regarding HPV, cervical cancer, and the benefits of HPV vaccination for the general population. The aim of this study was to assess the level of awareness and knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, cervical cancer prevention, vaccine, and factors associated with HPV awareness among parents with female adolescents on their children's health. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is mainly the cause of cervical cancer together with other anogenital cancers, where cervical cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. HPV vaccine as among primary prevention of cervical cancer was established in different countries, whereby awareness or level of knowledge and attitude regarding cervical cancer, cervical cancer, HPV and HPV vaccine among parents and adolescents were regarded as factors affecting the utilization of HPV vaccine. In order to control or reduce the high incidence of cervical cancer, the elevation of knowledge level about HPV vaccine among parents and caregivers is more important since they play a major role in their children’s health. Healthcare services should take serious measures to educate parents about cervical cancer, HPV, and the potential value of HPV vaccination. Methodology: A cross-sectional study design was used to assess 190 parents with female adolescents aged 9-14 years from the Dodoma region, selected through a multistage sampling technique. Data collection was done using interviews with a semi-structured questionnaire. The data collected were then analyzed using a Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23, whereby frequencies were determined, also cross-tabulations and Chi-square were used for bivariate analysis and significance test. Results: Overall, 190 participated in the research in which the majority 86.8% were not knowledgeable regarding HPV infection. However, this study shows that the majority 65.1% are having high knowledge regarding the HPV vaccine with statistical significance (p value< 0.05) in early adulthood, marital status, occupation, and education level. Conclusion: Most parents were not knowledgeable regarding HPV infection, however parents responded yes as they know the benefits of vaccine but most failed to mention them, therefore, people have low knowledge regarding HPV infection despite, they have heard about the presence of HPV vaccine that prevents cervical cancer infections.
