Abstract: The notion of gender inequality has been a long lasting phenomenon and have been empirically investigated in so many economies by researchers like Blau & Kahn, Jones & Makepeace, etc. in the past. This work sets out to investigate the existence of gender discrimination in the heart of wage earnings. The dataset used is the Current Population Survey of the United State, the analysis showed that the likelihood of earning higher wages depends on the gender of the worker as male workers are likely to end more than their fellow female counterparts are in the same employment category. However, this likelihood depends on the Educational Qualifications of the workers (both male and female). Therefore, this works has empirical shown that there exists gender discrimination in the heart of wage earnings which is not independent of College Degree.

Intentional replantation is defined as extraction of the tooth followed by replacement in its socket. Intentional replantation is considered as a last resort where surgical endodontics or conventional root canal therapy cannot be performed. Factors determining success in intentional replantation are periodontal cell viability, removal of irritant, good apical seal and procedure carried out under aseptic condition with a traumatic extraction. In this article, a case of intentional reimplantation is described and discussed as a treatment approach for failed root canal treatment with separated instrument periapically beyond the apical terminus in mandibular second molar.

Mitrocarpus Scaber is a local herb traditionally used for the treatment of eczema, ringworm and other skin disorders. Dry crude methanolic leaf extract was obtained, weighed and dissolved in double distilled deionized water giving a concentration of 20mg/ml solution. Standardized solution of Nystatin and Griseofulvin were prepared from commercial tablets and used as standard controls. Sterilized Sabauroud’s dextrose agar contained in universal bottles containing chloramphenicol were divided into groups of 5 in which variable numbers of drops (0.05ml) of the test drug (Griseofulvin, Nystatin and Mitrocarpus scaber) were made before the bottles were thoroughly mixed and slanted. Purified identified culture of Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagraphytes were obtained and used as test cultures. Each of the test agar slants were inoculated with Trichophyton. mentagraphtes in one group and Candida albicans in the other. The bottles were incubated at 370C for three to four days before observing them for growth of the inoculated organisms. No growth in the test bottles was considered as positive inhibition. The experiment was replicated three times and results were recorded. The results indicated that Mitrocarpus extract inhibited the growth of both Trichophyton mentragraphytes and Candida albicans at the agar concentration of 4mg/ml. nystatin was inhibitory to T. mentagraphytes at 7mg/ml and Candida albicans at 1mg/ml but did not inhibit the growth of Candida albicans. It is suggested that further research into the fungistatic effect of Mitrocarpus scaber to be carried out to explore its values in developing drugs for treating both human and veterinary dermatomycosis

Abstract: Foreign direct investment (FDI) is frequently viewed as a fundamental component in any nation's given mission for economic development. There is slight uncertainty that the growth of Chinese trade and investment with developing and underdeveloped African states has furnished these countries with a supreme chance to rejuvenate their economies. This study reviewed driving factors of Chinese FDI to African economies utilizing a panel data from 1980- 2016. Results showed that factors showing the determinants of FDI inflows have positive influence on development of West African and Monetary Unions economies. In particular components like trade openness, macroeconomic condition, infrastructural improvement and market size have significantly positive and noteworthy impact on FDI inflows to African economies.

In order to establish the prevalence and impact of helminths in domestic animals in Vom, Central Nigeria between January 2009 - December 2010, a total of 1,508 faecal samples from various breed of domestic animals viz: cattle, sheep, dogs, pigs, horses, rabbits and goats were carefully examined using formal ether concentration technique. Out of the 556 cattle faeces examined, 480(31.8%) were infected and positive for multiple helminthic infection, Strongyle-like eggs (43.2%) and Eimeria bovis (13.3%) Moniezia worms (0.5%). From 204 of Canine (dogs) faecal samples examined, 52 (3.5%) were infected. Ancylostoma braziliense (12.8%), Troglotrema salmincolo 0.5%). Caprine (Goats) faecal samples indicated Eimera parvi (19.3%) and Nematodirus spathiger (0.5%), Oesophagostomum columbianum (0.5%). Equine (Horse) samples indicated Strongylus spp (92.3%) while Triodontophorus tenuicollis (7.7%). In Laprine (Rabbits), Eimeria stiedia was (66.7%) while E. intestinalis was (33.3%). Ovine (Sheep) had Eimeria species (65.1%) and Strongyle-like eggs (66.3%) while Taenia hydatigena (1.2%); Swine (Pig) samples, Oesophagostomum dentatum (20.8%) and Schistosoma suis (0.4%) respectively. In all, 963 samples were positive for different parasites with the overall prevalence of 63.8%.

Abstract: On utilizing the available resources in Nigeria, carbon dioxide and other environmental substances are emitted into the atmosphere, which pollutes the Economy. Dynamically, this research work employs quarterly time series on the variable of interest, given the integration of the same order [I(1)] of the series, and co-integration via Bound-Testing Technique, this work utilizes the Auto-regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Model and discovered that at present, Emission of Carbon Dioxide (CE) is statistically significant and positively related to the Average Manufacturing Capacity Utilization (AMCU) in the short and long run, denoting that the emission of Carbon Dioxide is in-line with Green Economics; which however will not jeopardize future production and consumption. On the other hand, Manufacturing Value Added (MVA) is inversely related with Average Manufacturing Capacity Utilization (AMCU), in the short and long-run. These findings agree with Zhen and Jing (2009), Anietie (2011) and DiNapoli (2007). The Researchers however suggest utilization of available capacities in adding value to goods and services and a more effective and tightened Carbon Emission Tax System (CETS) like Cap-and-Trade, Carbon Tax, Pigouvian Tax, etc. which will keep in check, the quantity of Emitted Carbon Dioxide in Nigeria and consequently, not affect the birds of the air and earth (Livestock), aquatic animals, and human beings. Hence creating a future better Nigeria with respect to production and Consumption.

Youth empowerment is one of the major concerns of Nigerian government like any other developing countries all over the world. It is the reasons why it needs to encourage its youths to be engaged in entrepreneurial activities with the ultimate objective of becoming self-employed and self-reliant. Similarly in Nigeria, the government has introduced several policies aimed at eradicating poverty by encouraging self-employment among youths. One of such policies is the introduction of entrepreneurship education into the curriculum of higher education which is aimed at promoting and inculcating entrepreneurship amongst the students of higher learning. Hence, this study aims at investigating the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO), entrepreneurial education (EE) and entrepreneurial intention (EI) among undergraduate students at Nigerian Universities. A total of 74 valid questionnaires from the students were used and the study find out that, both EO and EE has direct positive relationship with EI. The study also has both theoretical and practical contributions. Finally, the study suggests direction for future research.
