Information and communication technology has become necessary for conducting business operations and ensuring business survival in Nigerian banks. However, this has come with some encumbrances, as this technology is vulnerable to attacks due to technical or human factors. These human factors have been very challenging for organizations due to their multi-dimensional nature and the fact that humans have been responsible for most cybersecurity incidents. Resolving issues arising from cybersecurity incidents is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, this study is crucial as it will enable Nigerian banks witnessing increased attacks to take preventive measures and reduce the enormous expenditure required for remediation. This study adopts a literature review approach, reviewing previous studies on human factors in cybersecurity to determine the factors responsible for successful cyber-attacks and their suggested mitigations. The findings categorize these human factors into social engineering, poor information security culture, risky password practices, stress, burnout, and security fatigue. The study presents mitigations but notes that training and cybersecurity awareness are the most common reoccurring pre-emptive actions recommended. This research is significant as very little prior research has been conducted in this area targeted at the Nigerian banking sector. Practically, the findings of this study are expected to point Nigerian banks toward the critical human factors that they need to concentrate on to minimize the success rate of cyber-attacks and reduce the associated costs of recovering from these attacks.

Background: Intraoral radiographs are essential diagnostic tools in dentistry. Ensuring their quality is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. This study compared the quality of radiographs produced by undergraduate dental students and qualified dental assistants to identify common errors and assess improvements following feedback and interventions. Methods: This retrospective, observational study compared the quality of digital bitewing and periapical radiographs taken by students and assistants across two audit cycles, with feedback provided between cycles. The radiographs were assessed using a modified quality assessment scale based on the Faculty of General Dental Practice (FGDP, UK) guidelines. Data were collected from the radiology imaging software, and a total of 100 intraoral digital radiographs were analyzed for each group in both cycles. Results: Initially, radiographs from both groups had issues, primarily positioning errors. After providing feedback and additional training, significant improvements were observed from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2. Dental assistants had a higher percentage of acceptable periapical radiographs, while students excelled in bitewing radiographs. Both groups demonstrated marked improvements, reflecting the effectiveness of the interventions. Conclusions: Continuous training, feedback, and quality assurance measures are vital for improving radiograph quality. A multifaceted approach, including updated equipment and adherence to quality control protocols, can significantly enhance patient care. The study highlights the importance of regular calibration and training for dental professionals to maintain high standards in radiographic practices. Further research is recommended to identify additional strategies for improving radiographic quality.

The low uptake of life insurance is a matter of significant concern both within Africa and globally due to its aims to investigate the factors contributing to the poor adoption of life insurance products in Botswana. Through a survey conducted among 800 randomly selected individuals representing diverse genders in Botswana, with an 80% response rate, this study sheds light on the factors that hinder the uptake of insurance products in the country. The findings indicate that the low adoption of insurance products in Botswana can be attributed, at least in part, to various factors including low income, pervasive poverty, limited insurance awareness and education, and inadequate regulatory oversight.

Entrepreneurship is acknowledged globally as a driver of unemployment reduction, poverty alleviation and national economic well-being. However, many nations, especially developing ones, struggle to sustain growth-oriented entrepreneurship due to limitations in their entrepreneurial ecosystems. With an unemployment rate of 28.9% as of 2019, Lesotho is one of the countries struggling to sustain effective entrepreneurial ecosystems. This article seeks to identify the inadequacies in local entrepreneurial ecosystems that impede the emergence of entrepreneurs and small-and-medium enterprises in Lesotho. This study, grounded in systems theory, utilised a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews to collect data from twenty-five budding entrepreneurs. Data analysis showed that financial institutions funding, entrepreneurial apathy, poor infrastructure, dearth of talents and leaders, and inadequate support networks were the main barriers to entrepreneurship in Lesotho. This study raises awareness of Lesotho's entrepreneurial ecosystem's basic flaws, which hinder growth-oriented business. The study is expected to improve policymakers’ intervention strategies and attract more scholars' attention to the phenomenon. The study is limited in scope due to the participants' concentration in Maseru, the capital city. This geographical restriction is a limitation to the extent that businesses operating in the city and those operating in the countryside may experience different systemic impacts. Future research should explore broader scope.

Purpose: This paper investigated the role of international trade on economic growth in Somalia, the main objective of the paper is to find out the role of export and import on economic growth in Somalia and to determine the relationship between international trade and economic growth in Somalia. Design/methodology/approach: Somalia’s major exports are livestock, bananas, skins, fish, charcoal, and scrap metal, the major export partners included the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, and Oman. The studies in 2020 indicated that Somalia was the number 173 economy in the world in terms of total exports and number 140 in total imports. Findings: In 2021, Somalia exported a total of 482million USD, making it the number 168 exporter in the world, during the last five reported years, the exports of Somalia have changed by 149millionm USD from 631million USD in 2016 to 482million USD in 2021. Furthermore, the economy is described as a very open economy according to the ratio of imports plus exports to GDP which is 91.5 percent, the 7th highest in Sub-Saharan Africa and 45th highest in the world. Practical implications: The major export of Somalia is livestock which is accompanied by its products i.e. hides and skins though the country deliberately depends on imports of food and non-food items. On the contrary, imports start from neighboring countries including Gulf countries, in South East Asia, and Somalia’s exports for 2021 were $1.53B, a %30.05 increase from 2020, Contribution of livestock to the national economy is estimated at %60-65.
