A lot of wastes are generated in the wood industries which constitute series of negative environmental effects. Nevertheless, sawdust has some organic compounds which can remove heavy metal ions from an aqueous solutions using the adsorption procedure. This investigated the potentials of three hardwood species for the removal of cadmium ion from contaminated water. The wood species utilized in this study include Triplochiton scleroxylon, Brachystegia eurycoma, and Blighia sapida sawdust. The sawdust samples were sieved before the pretreatment to remove both impurities and extractives. The experiments were conducted in batches for adsorption in order to determine the effect of pH solution, contact time, on adsorption of cadmium ions. The experiment was laid out in a 3 × 2 × 4 factorial experimental design. The results revealed that the adsorption capacity for (treated and untreated species, Triplochiton scleroxylon, Brachystegia eurycoma and Blighia sapida (treated and untreated) were 92.40±6.42% and 82.66±13.25%, 85.43±17.21%, and 78.00±24.15%, 78.00±20.08% and 80.75±17.07% respectively at the different pH levels (1-4). The results at the optimum pH (2) also revealed that the adsorption capacity for treated and untreated species of Triplochiton scleroxylon, Brachystegia eurycoma and Blighia sapida were 96.99±1.76% and 96.99±1.68%, 97.94±1.20% and 98.48±0.66%, 97.73±1.59% and 99.10±0.81% respectively at the different contact time (30, 60, 90 and 120). This research revealed that pre-treated sawdust adsorbed metal ions faster even at a low time interval compared to untreated samples. Also, it was observed that the highest adsorption capacity (%) of cadmium took place at pH 2 for all samples of sawdust both (treated and untreated). Hence, the selected wood species were found appropriate for the extraction of cadmium from contaminated water and therefore recommended for use.

There is growing interest in increasing mushroom consumption and replacement of the practice of harvesting it from the wild with cultivation in Nigeria. To achieve these objectives, there is need to create awareness and remove factors limiting domestic consumption. This study, aims to provide baseline data, which can be exploited in these efforts in Nigeria and in the South-East (SE) Region, in particular. Data was collected using the survey questionnaire and interview method in the five SE States; Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States. Simple descriptive statistics were used to analyze data. Results show a widespread awareness that mushrooms are food, ranging from 91 – 98% in the various States. Comparatively fewer respondents, 69 - 84% were aware about mushroom cultivation. Family was the major source from which respondents, 71 – 85% learned about mushrooms. A high proportion of respondents in SE (95%) had eaten mushrooms, but those eating frequently (> 12 times/year), were highest in Imo (28%) and lowest in Anambra (4%) States. The major reason respondents did not consume mushrooms more frequently was the complaint of its unavailability, which ranged from 75% in Anambra to 57% in Enugu States. This was because majority (68%) of respondents sourced their mushrooms from the wild, which was only available, seasonally and increasingly shorter in supply. It will be possible to increase consumption of mushrooms in Nigeria by increasing cultivation, which should be accompanied with value addition to reduce perishability and improve ease of distribution from the farms.

With the development of society, the status of women is becoming more and more important. How to call a teacher’s husband is an urgent problem to be solved. Based on previous studies, this paper explores the appellations of “ female teacher’s husband” based on the shifting perspective and the pragmatic principles, and aims to find out the social appellations corresponding to “male teacher’s wife”--“shi mu”. Through the analysis in this paper, the author believes that there is no social appellation to address teacher’s husband which corresponding to “shi mu”, but students can refer to the teacher’s husband from the following three aspects: “title+surname”, “teacher”, and the kinship address “shu shu”, “bo bo”, etc.

The revision of the Company Law in 2013 changed the capital system of Chinese companies from a paid-in system to a subscription-based system, realizing a major legislative adjustment, which provided a way out for many urban entrepreneurs who lacked funds, and promoted the development of the market economy. However, from a theoretical point of view, the oversimplification of the conditions for the establishment of a company poses a threat to transaction security. When the company's capital is insufficient to repay its debts, it lacks corresponding protection for the interests of creditors. From the aspect of the judicial practice of company law, there is a certain conflict between encouraging entrepreneurship and protecting the interests of company creditors. Aiming at dealing with challenges of theory and practice, this paper uses empirical analysis to discuss how to effectively protect the interests of corporate creditors from the perspective of corporate legal personality protection, especially the application and improvement of "significant insufficient capital". This article is based on the fifty cases, including judgment of the lower courts and high court, and analytical methods of these cases. This article points out that, first of all, the legal meaning of capital should be clarified, and capital should be a corporate asset in a broad sense. Secondly, it is necessary to redistribute the burden of proof and strengthen the legal protection of creditors. Finally, when applying the corporate personality denial system, it is necessary to clarify the bottom line function of the system.

The objective was to examine the effect of insecurity on food production in Delta State, Nigeria. The studied data were collected using structured questionnaire for 120 respondents. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics such as mean, frequency distribution and percentage and Chi square was used to decide the statistical relationship between insecurity and food production and distribution. The results for this study showed that the respondents age range of was 41-50 years having secondary school level of education and mostly married female farmers engaging in production of food. Most respondents had no communication with extension agents and have mean farm size of 1.8 hectares implying that bulk of the farmers were smallholder farmer with farming experience above 13 years. The result revealed that planting upland area to avoid flood ranked highest as a remedy to insecurity. The mean (3.03) result show that the level of insecurity was very severe. There were lack of means of transport due to restrictions on movement as a result of insecurity The result of the chi square analysis indicates that there was a significant (p<0.05) relationship between insecurity and food production and distribution which revealed that insecurity have devastating impact on food production and distribution. The study recommends that extension agent administrators and the government should team up to produce and promote a good attitude toward food production and distribution. Future researchers are recommended to delve deeper on the effect of insecurity on food production and distribution.

Rationale: The importance of energy generation cannot be emphasized enough in every aspect. Even though the traditional electrical generation has been mainly focused on high voltage sources such as hydroelectric and nuclear power, the low-power sources of electrical acquisition are also essential, particularly in the era of digital technology. Batteries have been advanced as an integral component of electric devices for decades. The advent of digital technology leads us to the necessity of low-power energy sources. Electrolyte batteries consist of a pair of metal electrodes in an aqueous solution that facilitates electron transfer through the medium when a circuit is formed. New ideas for these low-power electrical generations have been tried around, even using potatoes, apples, and mud. Methods: This study investigated yogurt as the electrolyte medium using a metal pair of stainless steel and coiled magnesium electrode. A four-channel data acquisition system recorded the electric generation waveforms from the electrochemical battery cells changing the variables as examined, such as temperature, concentration, pH, stirring power, serial connection, and whole concentration. Results: The study confirmed that the pair of coiled Mg and stainless-steel electrodes produced the highest electrical potential, 25% higher among the metal pairs tested, while Chobani brand yogurt was the best electrolyte, 10% higher for electricity generation. The variables of temperature, concentration, pH, and stirring power were all highly linearly related to electricity generation. Serial combination with the 4 battery cell study demonstrated the feasibility of high voltage generation up to 7.8V. Conclusions: The highest electrical potential was acquired when used the whole yogurt of Chobani with stainless steel and coiled-type electrodes. The study demonstrated the superiority of probiotic yogurt electrolytes, which might need to elaborate for further detailed mechanisms.

Across the world throughout the age, plants have been an important source of both defensive and curative traditional medicine preparation for human and livestock diseases. However, in the Kore district no ethnobotanical exploration had previously been conducted. Therefore, the present study was conducted to identify plant species that are used as traditional medicines for the treatment of human and livestock diseases and to determine and document traditional medicinal plant parts used, their mode of preparation, dosage, route of administration of remedies and associated traditional knowledge in the study area. The result of the survey revealed that a total of 97 medicinal plants belonging to 91 genera and 53 families were identified. From the total plant species (64.9%) were collected from wild vegetation and (15.4%) are from home gardens and the rest of 12.4% are from roadsides, fences, farmlands and villages. In the study area (62.9%) species were recorded for the treatment of human health problems,(20.6%) for livestock and(16.5%) for the treatment of both human and livestock. Leaves were the most frequently used part in preparing herbal remedies. Crushing and oral route of administration were commonly used method of herbal medicine preparation and administration respectively. The most common condition of preparation was fresh form of preparation. Preference ranking analysis showed that Olea europaea ranked first for the most effective medicinal plant to cure wound. Pair wise comparison of medicinal plant shows that Lepidium sativum is the most preferred in treating stomachache. Informant consensus agreement for Febrile illness, Headache, Fever and Dizziness have high Informant consensus factor (0.85). The analysis result of FL shows that Allium sativum scored the highest FL (80%).

This study focused on effective distribution channel of cassava produce in Umuahia North Local Government Area, Abia State, Nigeria. It has objectives of identifying the different forms of distribution channel, revenue generation to farmers and spoilage of cassava produce. The two main sources of data collection were primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected from a sample of 171 respondents’ cassava farmers using questionnaire, which was on a four-point scale. The data collected for the study were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The descriptive statistics used are percentages, frequency tables, means and standard deviation in answering the research questions while the inferential statistics used was Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) to test the hypotheses. All the hypotheses formulated were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the forms of distribution channel and marketing of cassava produce (r =.825, P<.05), that there is a significant relationship between effective distribution of cassava produce and revenue generation to farmers (r =.916, P<.05) and that there is a significant relationship between effective distribution channel and spoilage of cassava produce (r =.813, P<.05). The study therefore, concludes that effective distribution requires a high degree of management skill, as it will be one of the major components in achieving a sustainable competitive advantage. Finally, it was recommended that government should assist the rural dwellers in providing enough funds to facilitate the distribution of farming and marketing of cassava produce as it helps for community development and alleviation of poverty. Again, that new equipment should be provided for them; especially, the mechanized ones that reduce prolonged labour hours. Farmers should also be encouraged to form associations so as to enable them build social capital, pool resources together and obtain loans and credits easily from financial institutions to enable them distribute their cassava produce effectively regardless of the channel used.
