The synthesis and characterization of Schiff base-containing transition metal complexes have gained increasing importance due to their catalytic roles in various reactions and their biological activities. These metal complexes have become crucial in drug design, leading to a growing interest in metal-based drugs. The study aimed to synthesize copper metal complex with a new Schiff base ligand 4-[(3-hydroxybenzalidene)amino]antipyrine derived from 4-aminoantipyrine and 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde, as well as evaluate their antimicrobial activity against gram positive and gram-negative bacterial strains. The ligand and its copper complex were assessed for antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative strains utilizing disc diffusion and broth dilution methods. Spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis, FT-IR, XRD, and EDXRF), solubility tests, and elemental analysis were employed to investigate the ligand and copper complex. The ligand displayed high insolubility in various solvents but had limited solubility in chloroform and methyl chloride. The FTIR spectrum of the Schiff base reveals the presence of aromatic hydrocarbons, imine (C=N), hydroxyl (-OH), secondary amine (C-N), carbonyl (C=O), and vibrations associated with C-O and C-C bonds, reflecting its molecular structure. In the EDXRF analysis, a prominent peak at 7.80 keV corresponding to copper was detected, indicating that copper is the most abundant element found in the ligand. XRD analysis demonstrated distinct crystal structures for both the ligand and its copper complex. The UV-Vis spectra of the ligand exhibited an absorption peak at a UV lambda max of 220 nm, indicating a π→π* transition. In contrast, the absorption peaks observed in the copper complex indicated different transitions compared to the Schiff base. The MIC results indicated the copper complex's stronger antimicrobial activity than the Schiff base against tested bacteria. Molecular docking studies showed that the interaction energies of the synthesized compounds, particularly the ligand and copper complex, surpassed that of the well-known anti-diabetic drug, metformin.

The research is geared towards investigation on one hand the extent to which Hausa is found on the internet, and utilizing the internet for documenting Hausa materials on the other. The most active internet search engines (i.e. AOL, Ask, Baidu, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google, Internet Archive, WolframAlpha, Yandex. and Yahoo) were utilized to determine the number of existing and functioning Hausa websites. The activities and contents of the websites were studied to ascertain if they help matters by providing the needed materials for the ‘Hausa academic world’. The areas and forms of weaknesses of the sites were studied accordingly. It has been observed that the Hausa websites are dominated by several challenges ranging from socio-political to environmental. Finally, suggestions are offered as panaceas for the observed problems, one of which is the need for a collaborative effort between departments and centers for the studies in the Hausa language and the enthusiastic Hausa bloggers for the attainment of common documentation and improvement goals.

Diabetes is a common chronic metabolic disease that has attracted a lot of attention in the dental community because of its possible effects on peri-implant therapy. Dental implant procedures have grown in popularity as a means of replacing lost teeth. This systematic review aims to investigate the ways in which diabetes impacts different peri-implant therapy aspects. Up until February 2023, electronic databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase were thoroughly searched. Eleven studies in total that complied with the inclusion criteria were included in the final analysis. These studies used both prospective and retrospective designs to investigate the impact of diabetes on implant outcomes. An overview of the impact of diabetes on the outcomes of peri-implant therapy, such as implant success, survival, and tissue health around the implants, is given in this abstract. Numerous studies repeatedly show that diabetes adversely affects these crucial facets of implant therapy. Diabetes affects soft tissue health around dental implants, lowers implant survival rates, and increases the risk of peri-implantitis.

Manufacturing is an industrial component that is widely regarded as the cornerstone of both social and economic development. This study investigates the drivers of manufacturing export performance in Nigeria for the period 1981-2019. Given the existence of endogeneity problem in the model, the study under a dynamic time series estimation employed GMM estimator. Manufacturing exports performance was measured using growth rate of manufactured exports, percentage of manufacturing export in GDP and manufactured export as percentage of total export. The results show that improvement in the degree of trade openness, increasing manufacturing value added, access to financial services, relative prices and increasing investment level through FDI were found to be the determinant factors that have tendency to enhance manufacturing exports performance in Nigeria. Based on these findings, policy implications include providing adequate financing and increasing credit allocation to the manufacturing sector, as well as implementing policies aimed at promoting access to financial services in order to ensure efficient distribution to the preferred sector. The Nigerian government should implement trade barriers-removal policies while also promoting policies that lead to the country's exceptional advancement. Other policy recommendations derived from the empirical findings are thoroughly discussed in the concluding part of the paper.

Introduction: The prevalence of glaucoma and cataracts has been rising. The crowded anterior segment architecture that results in appositional contact between the trabecular meshwork and the peripheral iris is the cause of primary angle closure. A technique to control intraocular pressure and deepen the anterior chamber is lens extraction. Objectives: To evaluate intraocular pressure changes in narrow angle eyes following phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. Methodology: The study was carried out between March 2015 and August 2017 at Department of Ophthalmology of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh on patients diagnosed with narrow-angle who also developed cataract. A narrow angle was defined as an anterior chamber angle grading of 2 or less on Shaffer grading in three or more quadrants. In accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a sample from the study population was drawn using the purposive type sampling technique. Participants in this prospective trial had foldable lens implantation after phacoemulsification surgery. Goldman applanation tonometry was done prior to surgery as well as on the tenth and thirtieth postoperative day. Results: The study included thirty eyes from 29 individuals, with a male to female ratio of 1:1 and an overall mean age of 62.03±8.95 years. Preoperative IOP was 13.66±1.69 mm Hg on average. The mean IOP at the 10th and 30th POD was 11.83±2.21 mm Hg and 11.00±2.07 mm Hg, respectively. At the final follow-up, the mean IOP drop was 2.66 mm Hg (p<0.05). Conclusion: In individuals with narrow angles, phacoemulsification combined with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation can lower intraocular pressure. These results support the notion that phacoemulsification combined with foldable IOL implantation is a useful technique for reducing intraocular pressure.

The transformation of terrorism from Al-Qaeda to the Islamic State (IS) has created new security challenges. This article examines the threats posed by these two groups by discussing their ideologies, structures and capabilities. Unlike local terrorist groups like the Afghan Taliban, the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda pose a global threat. The work looked at the origin of Al- Qaeda which cannot be separated from the soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, and the objective of Al- Qaeda which main purpose is unifying and leading the jihad movement and providing its purpose and direction. The organization of Al- Qaeda was also discuss in this work, which is divided into four levels, which include, core Al- Qaeda, affiliated groups, allied groups and motivated persons and network. This work also assessed the impact of Al- Qaeda in global security, where some scholars argued that the group is not viable enough to pose global threat while others argued against it. On the other hand this work examined the origin of IS which started as a result of U.S military intervention in Iraq in 2003. It also examines resource base of IS and its objectives which is the destruction of the asymmetry status- quo existing for a long between Muslim countries and the Western allies. The impact and threat assessment of Al- Qaeda and IS on global security which we found out is that IS initially was fighting the near enemy in Iraqi and Syrian regimes, but latter changed its strategy by equally focusing on the “far enemy” as well, and manifested in its high profile attacks in Europe and other places beyond the Middle East. Lastly the researcher look at the differences between Al- Qaeda and IS in terms of their structure, brutality, popularity, conceptual difference etc. At the end, this paper recommends that a comprehensive global strategy is required to eradicate this growing menace of organized terrorism.

Children's growth, health, and development depend on proper nutrition in infancy and early childhood. Worldwide, nursing is advantageous for both mother and child since breast milk is the best source of baby nourishment. This study examined mothers' knowledge and attitude about exclusive breast feeding’s nutritional benefits. A cross-sectional survey of 384 mothers was conducted in rural Igabi LGA. The data was acquired using structured questionnaires. SPSS 21 was used to enter and evaluate data. Chi-square determined categorical data associations. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. By knowledge score, 13.80% of mothers had adequate knowledge, 51.04% intermediate, and 35.15% deficient. Attitude score: 63.80% of mothers were positive. Most mothers (52.5%) reported breast problems as major issues. A local language campaign to educate women about the nutritional benefits of exclusive breastfeeding and renewing the Baby-Friendly Hospital Policy can reduce child mortality, according to the study.

Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. The present study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect of 5, 7-dihydroxyflavone (chrysin) against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in Wistar rats. Thirty-five adult male Wistar albino rats were randomly allocated into seven groups (n = 5 each) which consisted of normal control (group 1) receiving phosphate buffer saline (0.4 ml), positive control (Group 2) received 2mg\kg of doxorubicin (DOX) through an intraperitoneal route once weekly for 21 days, chrysin low dose and chrysin high dose (Group 3 and 4) received oral administration of chrysin 50&100mg/kg for 21 days, chrysin low dose and DOX, chrysin medium dose and DOX and chrysin high dose and DOX(group 5, 6, and 7) received 2mg/kg of DOX once weekly with 50, 100 and 150mg/kg of chrysin for 21 days. Significant elevations in cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and histological lesions, which corresponded with oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptotic indicators, and cardiotoxicity when compared to controls, were indicative of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Malondialdehyde (MDA), a sign of oxidative stress, SOD, CPK (creatinine phosphokinase), TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance), and CAT (catalase) were also elevated in the DOX group. The DOX group also had increased levels of cardiac inflammatory markers, including as interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and the apoptotic marker caspase-3. 5, 7-dihydroxyflavone (chrysin) significantly mitigated, but did not entirely reverse, the cardiotoxicity caused by DOX by reducing the histopathological scores of cardiomyopathies and lowering cTnI in comparison to the DOX group. Additionally, chrysin reduced MDA to substantially similar levels as the control. Following chrysin administration, significant decreases in IL-1, IL-6, and caspase-3 were also seen in comparison to the DOX-only group. All things considered, these findings point to chrysin's protective action against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, which may have been rendered possible by oxidative stress, inflammatory, and apoptotic suppression.

Since 2018, are still disparities in the research results on items, prices, locations, promotions, people, processes, and physical evidence associated with customer loyalty based on the marketing mix and customer or patient loyalty. This study’s compares the theory and practice concerning the effect of marketing mix to outpatients’ loyalty. Hajj Hospital is currently experiencing a drop in the number of patients though numerous promotional efforts have been made, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is anticipated that the marketing mix will enhance consumer views of a product’s quality, as measured by consumers’ evaluations of the product. If the consumer perceives that the hospital provides high-quality services, the hospital’s image will be positive; this condition might boost customer or patient satisfaction. This study aims to determine which element of the marketing mix has the most significant impact on patient loyalty at Hajj Hospital. This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design approach, with 100 outpatient samples, and was analysed using SPSS. It was discovered that additional studies incorporated planning, control, monitoring, and evaluation into the marketing mix, utilising longitudinal studies or interventions for healthcare professionals that provide services to patients.
