Evaluation of selected rice cultivars' phenotypic traits and chlorophyll content under sub-mergence stress

Currently, rice production in Nigeria is on the increase with the aim of meeting the nation’s need but floods (mainly seasonal) has been among the major factors limiting rice production. Rice is generally a semi aquatic plant well adapted to partially flooded fields but flash flooding may leads to complete submergence there by resulting into huge economic losses mainly due to reduction in gases (hypoxia) and light intensity needed for photosynthesis. The research was conducted at the Biological Garden, Department of Biological Sciences, Federal University Birnin Kebbi. The experiment was set off in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four rice cultivars with control and three replications. Length of internodes, number of nodes per plant, plant height, root length and chlorophyll contents were evaluated using standard methods and protocols. The study analyzed the impact of flooding on rice cultivars, finding significant differences in node number, internode length, plant height, root lengths, and chlorophyll content. The highest number of nodes was found in CP Yartunga, followed by Faro with 6.33 per plant. The highest plant height was 15.50 cm in Faro, while the highest chlorophyll content was 0.41 mg/g in CP 44. The research reveals that rice cultivars recover from flooding stress, with CP Yartunga having the highest number of nodes per plant and Faro having the highest internode length. No significant differences were found in plant height, root length, or chlorophyll content among the evaluated cultivars. Faro had the lowest chlorophyll content. The study reveals that under stress, chlorophyll content in various locations decreases significantly, with a significant drop in recovery and node numbers. Lastly, node recovery is substantial, suggesting lower injury levels. The present study suggests that cultivars like Faro and CP 44 show better resilience, suggesting potential breeding programs focusing on structural traits.

Influence of increasing Integration of Solar photovoltaic on Small Signal and Transient stability of Nigeria Power System

Abstract In this paper, the effect of Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) penetration on the damping of critical and inter area modes arising from different penetration level of SPV into the Nigeria national grid has been studied. Also, the possible effects of SPV penetration on Critical Clearing Time (CCT) when a three-phase fault occurs on the grid are studied. The Nigeria 56-bus system was used for the investigation. Sensitivity analyses are carried out to obtain insight into how certain change in parameters affects both the transient and small signal stabilities of the Nigerian power systems. DigSILENT Power Factory was used for the simulation while the analysis was performed in MATLAB. Some of the important findings show that the grid developed increasing amplitude of oscillation from 20 % SPV penetration. There is no steady increase or decrease of CCT with penetration levels. The effect of changes in load on small signal conducted shows that both the real and imaginary load at Kano and Birnin kebbi bus should not exceed 257 MW, 176 MVAR and 171 MW, 134 MVAR, respectively so as to avoid system collapse.

Configuration Reversal Effect on Earth Resistivity Measurements in Parts of Birnin Kebbi, Northwestern Nigeria

An approach involving forward and reverse effects on earth resistivity measurements was carried out in some selected sites in the Birnin Kebbi area of Gwandu Formation Northwestern Nigeria. The primary objective of this research work was to investigate the relationship between the principle of reversibility of current, the potential difference in measuring earth’s resistivity, and determining the depth of penetration for various probes. Because of shallow, deep, and very deep penetration used to measure resistivity in both locations, a Schlumberger array with half of the maximum current electrode spacing (AB/2) of 70 m was used to measure a total of sixteen (16) depth-sounding data in a randomly distributed manner. An Excel chart of (x, y) scattered data was used to automatically interpret the apparent resistivity data after the field was examined and interpreted using IPI2win. To compare the apparent soil resistivity of two switches and how it’s impacted by the depth of the soil moisture contents, a series of measurements were made as part of this study. The collected results demonstrate how soil resistivity varies with depth and spacing, which guides the development of earthen protection plans for the worst-case scenarios. Based on the kind of soil and moisture content, it was found that resistivity varies. Reverse resistivity switch is higher than forward switch resistivity. According to the suggested design, there are 4 to 6 different forward switch circumstances that call for different numbers of earth electrodes.

A Predictive Model for Academic Performance of Students in MAT101 at Federal University Birnin Kebbi

The research addresses the problem of low academic performance of students taking General Mathematics 1 (MAT101) at the Federal University Birnin Kebbi in Nigeria. MAT101 is a foundational course for several science-related disciplines. However, many students fail to understand its concepts, translating to one of the lowest academic performances, leading to high discontinuation of students’ studies in most science and related fields. To this end, the problem is addressed through a predictive model using data science and machine learning techniques to identify students who are academically at risk. It seeks to answer the appropriateness of the selected statistical and data mining approaches, whether or not they are predictor variables, and validating the model developed. The significance of this study lies in its potential to help instructors identify at-risk students and improve overall performance in MAT101. The research uses data collected from academic records and conducts exploratory data analysis to determine the factors influencing students’ performance. Several classifiers such as Decision Tree and Random Forest were analyzed by evaluating their accuracy. In detail, the difference in the accuracy for the Decision Tree algorithm was 52% and for the Random Forest was 67%. Based on achieved indicators, the Random forest algorithm is more effective in this type of predictive modeling. However, the choice of algorithm depends on specific task requirements, considering factors like speed and accuracy.

Effect of Micro Economic Factors on Residential Property Value in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, Nigeria

The research aims to assess the microeconomic factors affecting residential property values in Birnin Kebbi. Property serves as an asset for any individual, as real estate is one of life's primary goals. Besides the need to eat and drink, property also plays a crucial role in daily life. Property values are influenced by various factors, which can be either microeconomic or macroeconomic in nature, or both. Many microeconomic variables are related to property attributes and buyer demographic profiles. To achieve this aim, two objectives were formulated: (i) to examine the types of property and microeconomic factors affecting property values in the study area, and (ii) to assess the effect of microeconomic factors on residential property values. Both primary and secondary sources of data were used for data collection. Out of 377 questionnaires administered, 321 were retrieved. Simple random sampling and stratified random sampling methods were employed. Quantitative methods were used for data analysis, and all data gathered were analysed using descriptive statistics and the Likert scale. The study found that physical characteristics of residential properties, such as types of materials used, building design, room sizes, parking spaces, building age, and landscape, significantly influence property values. Additionally, the types of finishes (roofs, walls, ceilings, and floors), infrastructural facilities, and social amenities (number of toilets, electricity fittings, waste disposal and sewage, potable water supply, and various sanitation facilities) also play a role. The effects of microeconomic variables on property values in the study area include insecurity, increased traffic, property price changes, nuisances, environmental quality, property demand, and time consumption. The study recommends that prospective property developers ensure the use of standard building finishes to maximize returns on their investment in property value. Additionally, the government should introduce policies to ease difficulties in importing housing materials and promote the manufacture of local ones.

Abundance, characterization, and health risk evaluation of microplastics in borehole water in Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria.

Microplastic pollution has become a global menace, and water, being a major "sink" for pollutants, represents a significant source of human exposure. This study aimed to assess the safety of borehole water in Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria, specifically concerning microplastic pollution. Water samples were collected from boreholes in selected areas, including Bayan Kara, Malali, Rafin Atiku, Aliero Quarters, GwadanGaji, FUBK Takeoff Site, Kalgo Market, and Tarasa. Microplastics were extracted from the water samples through filtration using glass fiber filter papers, and were subsequently subjected to spectroscopy and microscopy to determine concentrations, shapes, and polymer types. Health risks associated with the microplastics were also calculated. The results revealed that the samples from Tarasa exhibited the highest concentrations of microplastics (96.967 particles/L), followed by Bayan Kara (92.70 particles/L), Rafin Atiku (92.33 particles/L), GwadanGwaji (92.30 particles/L), FUBK Takeoff Site (91.07 particles/L), Aliero Quarters (90.43 particles/L), Kalgo Market (88.00 particles/L), and Malali (86.40 particles/L). The most dominant shape was fibers (73 %), followed by fragments (16 %), foams (6 %), and filaments (5 %). Polyethylene and polyamide, in that order, were the most dominant polymers, while polystyrene was the least common. The majority of risk scores were classified as III. It can be inferred from the results that microplastic pollution in borehole water poses a health hazard in the city. Consumers of borehole water in the studied areas are advised to treat the water before consumption to mitigate potential health risks.

PREVALENCE OF VESICO VAGINAL FISTULA AND COPING STRATEGIES OF WOMEN IN KEBBI STATE, NIGERIA

Vesico-Vaginal Fistula (VVF) poses a significant challenge for women, particularly in Kebbi State, Nigeria, where a VVF Centre operates to provide surgical repair and healthcare professional training. Despite this, research on VVF prevalence and coping strategies in Kebbi State remains limited, warranting further investigation to address knowledge gaps. This study investigates the prevalence and coping strategies associated with Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) among women in Kebbi State. Employing purposive sampling, 49 questionnaires were distributed to women aged 15 years and above. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, including frequency, and inferential statistics, with Spearman rank correlation analyzing variable associations. Results indicate that the mean age of marriage is 16, with the highest frequencies of married (35.9%) and divorced (27.4%) respondents. Occupation-wise, 33.4% are housewives, revealing low-income earners, especially among casual laborers (28.9%) and farmers (26.9%). VVF prevalence is concentrated among ages 14–19 (30.7%), and overall prevalence is 29.3 per 1000 deliveries. The disease exhibits an increasing trend, with the years 2011-2012 having the least frequency (17%) and a mean score of 5.1. Yearly variations are noted in documented VVF cases from Gesse VVF Centre in Birnin Kebbi (2011-2020). Knowledge of VVF prevalence is highest (100.0%) among age groups 30-34 and 40 and above, contrasting sharply with the smaller proportion (15-30 age group). Coping mechanisms predominantly involve accepting fate. Recommendations include implementing comprehensive health education, targeting girls and women to address early marriage and reproductive health, facilitated by government and health workers.

Materials and Methods: The research design used for this study was a descriptive survey, purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 Biochemistry Students at Federal University Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria. This research was conducted within ten months (from January 2023 to October 2023). Data were collected using structures related to breast cancer awareness and the practice of self-breast examination. The collected data were tabulated in Excel and transported to IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.0. Results: The results showed that the majority of 38 (63.3%) had moderate, 17 (28.3%) had adequate and only 5 (8.3%) had an inadequate level of awareness regarding breast cancer. Therefore, the H0:1 hypothesis was rejected, whereas the H1:1 hypothesis was accepted. The results revealed that, out of 60 (100%) respondents, all of them had a positive attitude toward self-breast examination. Hence, the H0:2 hypothesis was rejected, whereas the H1:2 hypothesis was accepted. The results showed that there was a statistically significant association between their levels of awareness regarding breast cancer with their selected sociodemographic variables such as area of residence (urban) P < 0.001. Hence, the H0:3 hypothesis was rejected, whereas the H1:3 hypothesis was accepted. Conclusion: There was a statistically significant association between their levels of awareness regarding breast cancer with their selected sociodemographic variables such as area of residence (urban). The recommendation was given to conduct a similar study in a different setting using a large sample for generalisation of the findings.

Diabetes mellitus is a maturing cause of disease burden globally. Its management is complex; adherence to dietary regimen is known to play a major role in Glycaemia control. 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.

Factors Associated with Drug Abuse among Adolescents; A Cross-Sectional Study in Army Day Secondary School Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria.

Background: Drug abuse and use are substantial public health concerns, particularly among adolescents, who are frequently put at risk due to their curiosity, resulting in negative behavioral, physical, social, and economic repercussions. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the prevalence and associated determinants of drug abuse and use (tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana) among school-age adolescents in a statewide sample from northern Nigeria. This study looked into the factors that contribute to drug abuse and use, as well as their impact on school-aged adolescents at Army Day Secondary School in Birnin-Kebbi, Nigeria. Methods: Data for the study were acquired from a self-administered questionnaire administered to senior students in both the boys’ and girls’ arms of the institution. A Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS), a conventional survey designed to assess cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and marijuana usage was used in generating data on drug abuse among the respondents. Results: Three variables were significantly associated with drug abuse/use class level (AOR = 2.272, 95% CI: 1.249, 4.133, p = 0.007; AOR = 2.252, 95% CI: 1.229, 4.127, p = 0.009), gender (AOR = 1.840, 95% CI: 1.164, 2.907, p = 0.009), and family types (AOR = 0.581, 95% CI: 0.361, 0.933, p = 0.025) for current cigarette smoking, alcohol, and marijuana. The majority of respondents (47–60%) were aware of drug abuse or use, with females having a 52.4% positive attitude as opposed to males (47%). Other variables, such as age, religion, parent education, and who the respondents reside with, have been found to have no significant relationship with adolescent drug use or usage. Conclusion: There is a need for comprehensive public health strategies that go beyond school-based psycho-behavioral interventions to address the considerable risk factors for substance use among our secondary school students.

Analyses of the Elemental Content of three Brands of Natron in Four Local Government Areas in Kebbi State

Natron is the second most consumed salt in Nigeria. It is used as a food additive to cook beans, maize, and other palatable foods. Several studies have investigated the elemental content in this salt in Nigeria. However, there is paucity of information on the elemental content of this widely consumed salt in Kebbi State. Thus, this study is focused on the analyses of elemental content in Natron in sold in four Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kebbi State. Three brands of Natron were collected from markets in Birnin Kebbi, Jega, Kalgo and Bunza local governments. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) was used to analyse the elemental content. Furthermore, the elemental content values were collated for the samples of the different brands of Natron. The sodium content of the Kanwa Jarirai brand in Jega had the lowest sodium content of while the Balma brand in Bunza had the highest sodium content of . All three Natron brands investigated in the four LGAs exceeded the World Health Organization (WHO) permissible limit for potassium, iron and, manganese levels. All the brands of Natron did not satisfy the adult daily calcium intake except for the Kanwa Jarirai from Jega with . Moreso, all the three brands in the selected four LGAs satisfied the sodium permissible WHO limits. The iron, manganese, and potassium WHO permissible limits were not met. In addition, the Natron from the four LGAs did not satisfy the adult daily intake of calcium except the Kanwa Jarirai from Jega. Consumers will need to be cautious of the usage of the analysed Natrons as they contained high levels of sodium which might not be beneficial to cardiovascular health.
