Streptokinase is a extracellular enzyme which is extracted from strains of beta Hemolytic streptococcus. The enzyme is a non-protease plasminogen activator that activates plasminogen to plasmin and degrades fibrin clot through its specific lysine binding site which is used in thrombolytic therapy. Purification of streptokinase produced from S.equisimilis in E.coli with N-terminal methionine was carried out in 3 Chromatography purification steps, 1) CM-Sepharose-FF at pH 4.2 followed by concentration and dialysis over night with Tris-HCl pH 8.0. Partially purified dialyzed enzyme sample was loaded on to 2) DEAE-Sepharose-FF column. The Purified fractions of DEAE column were pooled and applied on to Sephadex G-100 column. Enzyme purity was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC.Its biological activity is determined by specific streptokinase assay and characterised the enzyme by Peptide mapping, MALDI-TOF, Isoelectric-focusing and RP-HPLC. The isoelectric point (pI) of streptokinase is around 4.98.The results of characterization shows that it contains two forms (Isomers) of streptokinase expressed in E. coli which was analyzed by RP-HPLC and chromogenic assay. The variation is formed by isomer-1 in which 85% of Streptokinase expressed without methionine (85000IU/mg) and Isomer-2 in which 15% of streptokinase expressed with methionine (nil activity) in E. coli. This phenomenon shows that the presence and absence of methionine in isomers of streptokinase varying the catalytic activity of the enzyme.

Homo Sapiens have a distinct characteristic of being superior to other creatures. They owe this superiority not only because they have the power to reason and rationalize but also because they have a tendency to organize themselves as a congregation, which can work in a group at a large scale. The human instinct to improvise on its own inventions, have today resulted in mutation of a world from the stage of abacus to the era of Robotics. For the sake of avoiding chaos and maintaining the sovereignty, every nation strives to eradicate the fear of dominance by the selected elite and hence the need of regulations and the law. The aim of the paper is to highlight the grey areas and limitations existent in Information Technology Laws and focusing on the emerging domains of cyberspace. Its also aims to draw the attention by the policymakers and the legislators to understand the need for amending the Information Technology Act, 2000 for including legal provisions related to emerging issues in cyber space. The analytical research method is used to collect the data based on a systematic review of the existing sources of information and involved qualitative research to analyze the information. The conclusion and suggestions of this paper will definitely be helpful in either drafting or amending a comprehensive law relating to IT keeping in view the evolving technologies and their applications.

This review critically examines advancements in anode materials for cathodic protection systems, focusing on overcoming the limitations of traditional materials like magnesium, zinc, aluminum, graphite, lead-silver alloys, and high-silicon cast iron (HSCI). Conventional anode materials, though widely used, face issues such as rapid degradation, high maintenance costs, and environmental harm. Novel materials, including mixed metal oxides (MMO), advanced aluminum-based alloys, nanostructured materials, and conductive polymers, offer superior electrochemical properties, enhanced durability, and improved performance in aggressive environments like seawater. This review also highlights the role of surface modifications and coatings, such as platinum on titanium and ceramic coatings, in boosting corrosion resistance. Moreover, smart monitoring systems, integrated with IoT and SCADA technologies, are explored for their potential to improve the longevity and efficiency of cathodic protection systems. The paper emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable solutions due to the substantial economic and environmental costs of corrosion, particularly in high-risk industries like oil and gas, maritime, and infrastructure. Future research directions, including the development of hybrid systems combining coatings with CP technologies and the application of advanced alloys and nanostructured materials, are proposed to address the long-term performance and ecological impacts of CP systems.

Universities in Nigeria are not an exception to the growing trend of blended learning (BL) as a promising approach to higher education. The purpose of this study is to create and assess the psychometric qualities of a behavioral intention to use blended learning (BIUBL) scale designed for university lecturers in Nigeria. Data were gathered from 368 lecturers representing federal, state, and private universities using a descriptive survey design. The scale items were refined and the scale’s underlying structure was evaluated through the use of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) in SPSS 22.0. The factor structure was then validated by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using AMOS 20.0. The scale’s reliability of 0.835 was obtained by using the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, suggesting strong internal consistency. The results demonstrated the validity and reliability of the scale in gauging the behavioral intention of lecturers to employ BL in Nigerian university settings. In order to evaluate and encourage university lecturers to use BL practices, this scale can be a useful tool for researchers and educators globally. The process of the creation of the scale followed the established rules for a tool construction which could also assist researchers with guidedance. These would ultimately improve the standard of higher education delivery in Nigeria and beyond.
