This paper is a discourse on how the works and lifestyles of Nigerian celebrities act as drivers of crimes amongst the country’s youth and young people. It shows the trends of crime in the country before and in the era of the new media, bringing to the fore emerging dimensions that are rarely reported explicitly in extant literature. Data for the study were obtained through secondary sources and analyzed through content analysis based on Bibb Latané’s (1981) social impact theory. The findings suggest that: (i) while leadership examples and weak institutions are at the roots of crimes in the country, (ii) the messages (directly and impliedly) communicated in the works of celebrities and their lifestyles act as the drivers amongst the youth and young people, (iii) the failure of relevant institutions to regulate the lifestyles of celebrities and their works promotes the tendency to get rich quick and by all means amongst the youth and young people. It recommends the regulation of the works and lifestyles of Nigerian celebrities by relevant institutions.

Introduction: Cellulose consists of β-(1 → 4)-linked glucose units arranged in a ribbon-type conformation in a zigzag pattern. Parallel chains fit closely to each other and associate with multiple hydrogen bonds to give rise to long fibers, which are totally insoluble in water and relatively inert. Although subject to some swelling in water, cellulose is entirely unaffected by boiling in water. Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate the potential for breaking down the pollen wall of honey-collected pollen using acid with pH of stomach acid, and to determine whether the honey-making process by bees is necessary for human consumption of the amino acid content present in pollen. Materials and Methods: Natural litchi flower honey was collected from Litchi Garden of Doctor Honey, Health & Harvest Dinajpur, Bangladesh in March 2021. 1 ml natural raw honey of litchi flower was diluted with 5 ml distilled water in a conical test tube. (Falcon). This was centrifuged in a swing-out rotor centrifuge (Labofuge, Germany) at a speed of 900 rpm for 10 minutes. The pollens made a pellet at the bottom of the tube. A sample from the pellet was taken on a glass slide and checked under the light microscope (optima) to ensure the presence of pollen. Citric acid was also added to the pollen. Results: Many of the pollen’s walls were found broken within one hour. It is visible that the contents of the pollen sacs are oozing out. One or two broken pollen was found in each 100 of the sample before adding acid whereas many were broken after adding acid. Conclusion: Honey-collected pollen's wall can be broken down using stomach acid, emphasizing the importance of the honey-making process for accessing amino acids, while preserving pollen in honey is crucial for maximizing nutritional benefits.

Employees in most service sector organizations utilizes diverse aspects of their intangible human assets. However, emotional labour is one of such invisible human assets often utilized by employees at the workplace. Like other aspects of organizations’ resources, emotions in service oriented field of human endeavor is seen as a product, yet, in most developing and underdeveloped economies, most employers and organizations often give little or no attention to its existence. Thus, this study examines the value of emotional labour in Nigeria public sectors. From the review of related literatures, the study established that the attention given and the value placed on emotional labour in the Nigerian public service organizations (especially, the police force, public schools and the healthcare services) is inadequate, as it is not fairly compensated as well as untrained and undeveloped, in spite of the enormous contributions made by employees in these institutions to the development and sustenance of the nation’s economy. Thus, the need for organizations (especially service oriented public enterprises) in Nigeria, to give adequate attention to emotional labor in order to optimize its use in achieving effective service delivery.

Water Pipeline systems are critical infrastructure for the delivery of safe and reliable water to communities. However, these systems are vulnerable to leaks, bursts, and other failures that can lead to water loss, property damage, and disruptions in service. One key factor in the health and longevity of water pipeline systems is the maintenance of proper pressure levels. Monitoring pressure in water pipelines is essential for ensuring that the system is functioning properly, and for identifying potential issues before they become major problems. The development of IoT technology has opened new possibilities for monitoring water pipeline pressure. IoT devices can be designed to collect and transmit pressure data wirelessly, eliminating the need for manual data collection and allowing for real-time monitoring and early warning systems. This study aims to develop an IoT monitoring device for pressure rate profiling in water pipeline systems. The device utilized pressure sensor and GSM module to collect and transmit pressure data in real-time to a cloud-based data management system. Through laboratory experimentation, the developed monitoring system in this study was able to both detect and localize leakages with the possibility of monitoring the leakage over a mobile application. The device also exhibits an average pressure variation of 7.7 KPA which indicates a high consistency.

Introduction: The incidence of Invasive Fungal Infection has increased, and it constitutes a serious threat to human health and life, especially in immunocompromised and critically ill patients. We aimed to evaluate the appropriateness of antifungal agents along with their risk factors and sensitivity pattern. Methods: It is a retrospective, cross-sectional study, which includes details of patients prescribed with systemic antifungal agents during a period of five years (01-06-2016 to 31-05-2021). Collected details were compared with Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines and mycological results to determine the overall appropriateness. Results: A total of 102 patients prescribed with systemic antifungals were selected for the study. The majority of the drugs were prescribed as Definitive (59.19%) and T Fluconazole (39.4%) was the most common drug given. The most common indication for antifungal prescriptions was found to be Respiratory tract infection. Appropriateness of antifungal use was assessed on indication, dosage, contraindication, and drug-drug interaction. Overall assessment of antifungal agents and treatment strategy demonstrated that antifungal treatment was appropriate in 41.6% cases, debatable in 36% cases and inappropriate in 22.4% of cases. The most common culture specimen collected was urine and Candida tropicalis (42.86%) was the frequently separated organism from it. Sepsis (21.4%) was the most common risk factor associated with invasive fungal infection. Conclusion: By implementing an effective antifungal stewardship program, we could improve the rational use of systemic antifungals and thereby prevent the future resistance and improve clinical outcome.

The development of the financing leasing system in China has been relatively slow. This paper primarily introduces the regulations on the financing leasing system by Article 388 of the Chinese Civil Code and related clauses. It addresses the characterization of ownership or security rights, as well as regulations on priority of rights, defective security responsibility, liability for damage to others, maintenance obligations, risk of destruction or loss, public notice, breach remedies, and right enforcement. Furthermore, this paper highlights the differences in regulatory frameworks for movable and immovable property financing leasing in China. Chinese law does not explicitly address issues related to immovable property financing leasing, as it focuses on the functionality of guarantees for movable property and rights due to the clear ownership registration authorities for immovable property, eliminating the issue of "hidden guarantees." Article 65 of the Interpretation of the Civil Code provides comprehensive regulations on the functionalization of financing leasing guarantees.
