Abstract

Plastic, a versatile material derived from synthetic compounds, is widely employed globally due to its durability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of production. However, its improper disposal poses significant environmental threats. Despite concerted efforts, the indiscriminate dumping of plastic waste persists in the country's land and water environments. This study aims to comprehensively explore the legal guidelines and socio-economic initiatives relevant to plastic waste regulation, drawing inspiration from Singapore's successful model. Three hundred and ten questionnaires were also distributed among residents of Nigeria to achieve this objective. The data collected underwent thorough analysis, employing both descriptive and analytical methods. In this context, Singapore stands out as an exemplary model for Nigeria to emulate in addressing the challenges posed by plastic waste. Drawing inspiration from Singapore's successful strategies, It is imperative to meticulously regulate every stage, from production to disposal, to ensure environmental sustainability and minimize the detrimental impact of plastic pollution. The study found the need for more legislative measures in Nigeria to combat the pervasive problem of indiscriminate plastic waste disposal effectively. Also, The government should establish irresponsible plastic waste disposal's environmental and health risks and dumping of plastic waste.

Abstract

The Metaverse provides a prospective opportunity for medical practitioners to improve patient engagement, training of medical personnel, and simulation-based learning. It allows for immersive telemedicine medical practice, enabling medical practitioners to render medical services to patients in remote areas through realistic virtual consultation and training of medical personnel and students through a lifelike simulation. However, despite the potential of the Metaverse concept in medical practice, certain legal and medical issues could mitigate its usefulness. In this regard, this study adopts a hybrid method of research in ascertaining the prospect, legal, and health risks of utilizing the metaverse in medical practice. 256 questionnaires were distributed, and the result obtained was analysed using descriptive and analytical methods. The study found that there are several potentials for utilizing the metaverse in medical practice. However, there are legal and medical risks in utlising the metaverse in medical practice and they include; patient data privacy, regulation, licensing, patient consenting to virtual medical treatment, and accountability for medical errors in the metaverse. Furthermore, the study also found that spending longer hours in the metaverse could result in sedentary behavior, associated with medical issues like obesity, musculoskeletal disorders, and cardiovascular problems. It was therefore concluded and recommended that the metaverse holds significant promise for the future of medical practice in Nigeria, offering innovative solutions that can transform healthcare delivery and education. However, to avoid legal and medical issues that may occur, there is a need for regulatory compliance with healthcare regulations.

Abstract

The global community is increasingly concerned about climate change and has explored various scientific methods, including cloud seeding, as temporary mitigation measures. Cloud seeding is a weather modification technique that induces precipitation by injecting clouds with chemical substances such as potassium iodide and silver iodide. While this method appears effective in addressing water scarcity and climate-related challenges, it poses severe threats to public health that have not been adequately addressed through legal frameworks. This study examines the effects of cloud seeding on public health and explores the necessity for legal intervention. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, utilizing content analysis of scientific literature, policy documents, and case studies from both primary and secondary sources. Data were scrutinized through descriptive and analytical methods and presented graphically to illustrate key findings. The study reveals that cloud seeding poses significant public health risks, including water contamination, skin cancer or irritation, respiratory disorders, and ecological imbalances. These health hazards stem from the chemical agents used in the seeding process and their potential accumulation in water sources and ecosystems. Furthermore, the research identifies a critical gap in global public health legislation, as no international laws directly regulate cloud seeding practices concerning public health and safety. The study concludes that while cloud seeding demonstrates potential as a climate change mitigation tool, public health and safety must be prioritized. It recommends establishing a comprehensive global regulatory framework to ensure safe practices, conducting rigorous health impact assessments before implementation, and maintaining public transparency in weather modification initiatives. These measures are essential to balance environmental benefits with the protection of human health and ecological integrity.

Abstract

In recent years, the advent of social media, mobile communication, and online news platforms has greatly changed the way public health information is produced, spread, and consumed. Besides this, the rise in Internet usage for health-related information has also made the public more susceptible to false or deceptive information, thereby giving rise to numerous problems, such as public health, trust in institutions, and the effectiveness of controlling diseases. The Ugandan government must implement digital solutions to combat public health misinformation because this task safeguards citizens' health rights and their right to receive accurate information, which helps maintain public safety. Consequently, the purpose of the study is to evaluate the state’s legal obligations to the extent that it can prevent, correct, and respond to misinformation on public health issues, as well as to examine the current legislative and regulatory framework governing digital governance and public health in light of this. Using a doctrinal research method based on the PRISMA framework, the study comprehensively studies both primary and secondary legal sources. The outcome indicates that, given the sophisticated nature of digital technology, the existing regulations are mainly reactive, dealing with punishment more often than prevention or correction of the misinformation. The study ends with the suggestion that the mechanism of regulatory enforcement should change from one that is mostly punitive to one that is preventive and corrective in nature. Among other things, it will mean requiring an active public health messaging, having real-time fact-checking systems, and having the official digital channels work together to correct misinformation.
