This study examined innovative food-processing and entrepreneurial skills as catalysts for workforce readiness among Business Education students in the 21st century competitive market. The study adopted a correlational survey research design. The population comprised 54 Business Education students at the University of Calabar, and the entire population was studied using the census sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire titled Innovative Food Processing,…

Liver Fibrosis has been reported with severity in recent cases as 11th most frequent cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide as evidences associates it with diverse biomarkers and dearth of understanding on the interplay activities. This study investigates how platelets from various donors (with normal BMIs (Body-Mass-Index) and healthy-lifestyles) produce differing influences on fibrotic cells. Blood samples were collected from consented donors, for platelet extraction and used to…

Background: Tracheal wall defects pose substantial reconstructive difficulties in head and neck surgery, particularly when complicated by chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and retained foreign material. Although multiple repair techniques have been documented, the application of absorbable Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) sheets in tracheal reconstruction remains infrequently reported.

Case Presentation: We describe a 54-year-old male who developed a…

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on families by intersecting with health, economic, social, and institutional factors, while mass vaccination campaigns have added new dimensions of uncertainty, trust, decision-making, and negotiation. This article focuses on conceptual and empirical links between post-COVID-19 vaccination contexts and family stability, and divorce rates. By synthesizing multi-disciplinary literature on family studies, public health, sociology, and demography, this…

There is no substitute for climate change, a worldwide issue primarily caused by greenhouse gas emissions and global warming that calls for creative and sustainable solutions. The manipulation of materials at nano levels is known as nanotechnology, and it has promising future prospects as a field with a wide range of applications, including food, energy, agriculture, and environmental issues. Thus, this gives us hope that nanotechnology is finally well-suited to play a key role in many…

Background: Health literacy is one of the strongest modifiable correlates of population health, yet it has been studied almost exclusively as an attribute of individuals. This framing has produced a large evidence base but also a deficit orientation that locates the problem in people rather than in the relationships, organizations, and structures that shape whether health information can be found, trusted, and acted upon.

Purpose: To critically…

This paper discusses issues concerning Békésy’s theory regarding the resonance between longitudinal waves in the cochlear fluid and the transverse natural vibrations of the basilar membrane coupled with the organ of Corti. The traveling-wave theory also relates to the accurate transmission and reception of speech-related information by the auditory receptor. Discrepancies are noted between experimental findings and the signal transmission times to the receptor predicted by Békésy’s theory.…

There are ethnic-based medicinal herbs which can be used to treat or prevent CAD with narrow to moderate range of statistical significance. We compared Rosuvastatin 10 mg with Indian dates (Jujubes) as hypolipidemic agents. This research was conducted at Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital, jalo park, Lahore, Pakistan. Duration of study was two months. Twenty to seventy years old 60 hyperlipidemic patients of both gender were included in research work with written consent. We divided these…

A low-cost heterogeneous base catalyst was prepared by simple calcination of coconut husk at 700°C and applied to the ethanolysis of Waste Cooking Oil (WCO). The catalyst was characterised by FTIR, XRD, SEM and nitrogen physisorption, revealing a silica-rich matrix containing crystalline quartz, potassium chloride and residual graphitic carbon together with a BET surface area of 181.9 m2 g-1 and a modal pore diameter of 3.0 nm. Response-surface methodology with a central-composite design was…

Neck pain and dizziness frequently coexist, but they do not represent a single diagnostic syndrome. This structured narrative review examines whether diabetes and other metabolic or endocrine disorders contribute directly to neck pain or instead modify dizziness, imbalance, falls, sensory integration, and rehabilitation safety. The review narrows the scope, separates symptom phenotypes, distinguishes direct clinical associations from mechanistic hypotheses, and incorporates negative and…
