Abstract

Essential oils are hydrophobic liquids extracted from plants by using different solvents and steam distillation procedures. They are rich in secondary metabolites, mainly terpenoids and phenylpropanoids. These metabolites provide a special aroma and strong pharmacological actions against different diseases and skin irritants. They are widely used as antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antiviral, anti-carcinogenic, antioxidant, and anti-saying agents. The main aim of this review is to discuss the main sources or concentrations of factors affecting EOs and extensively analyze the major phytochemicals that are used for treating different diseases. In conclusion, essential oils were found to be promising agents for their anti-saying, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. Further studies should focus on a more detailed mechanism of their action and other possible benefits, especially to the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract

This study introduces the Poisson Xrama Distribution, a model for analyzing count data that exhibits overdispersion. By combining the Poisson distribution with the Xrama distribution, this model addresses the limitations of traditional Poisson models, which assume equidispersion. The Poisson Xrama Distribution offers enhanced flexibility in handling variance inflation, making it suitable for scenarios where standard Poisson models are insufficient. Key statistical properties, including moments, variance, skewness, kurtosis and index of dispersion measures are derived. Maximum likelihood estimation is employed for parameter estimation, providing a robust framework for practical applications. This distribution is particularly useful in fields where count data often display overdispersion, such as biology and economics, offering a promising alternative to existing distribution models.

Abstract

This study examines the persistence of examination misconduct in tertiary institutions, focusing on the roles of technology, family influence, and educational institutions in shaping students’ engagement in academic dishonesty. Using Gombe State Polytechnic, Bajoga (GSPB), and Federal Polytechnic Bauchi (FPTB) as case studies, the research employs a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews, to assess the factors contributing to examination malpractice. The study explores how the widespread use of smartphones, smartwatches, and internet-enabled devices has transformed traditional cheating methods, making it easier for students to access unauthorized materials during exams. Findings indicate that technology has not only facilitated cheating but has also made detection more challenging due to the availability of encrypted communication channels and sophisticated cheating devices. In addition to technological factors, the study highlights the influence of family dynamics on students’ attitudes toward academic integrity. It was discovered that parental pressure to succeed, financial constraints, and limited parental involvement in students’ education contribute significantly to examination misconduct. Some parents, either knowingly or unknowingly, encourage academic dishonesty by emphasizing results over ethical learning, sometimes going so far as to hire proxy candidates or pay bribes to ensure their children pass. The research also reveals that students from families that prioritize integrity and moral upbringing are less likely to engage in cheating. Institutional policies and enforcement mechanisms also play a crucial role in either deterring or enabling examination malpractice. The study finds that weak implementation of academic integrity policies, lack of strict invigilation, overcrowded examination halls, and inadequate technological tools for monitoring contribute to the persistence of cheating. While some institutions have adopted anti-cheating technologies such as plagiarism detection software and biometric authentication, their effectiveness is often compromised by infrastructural deficiencies, poor enforcement, and lack of staff training. To address these challenges, the study recommends a multi-pronged approach, including the integration of advanced monitoring systems such as artificial intelligence-based surveillance, biometric verification, and stringent penalties for offenders. It also advocates for reinforcing ethical education in curricula, increased parental engagement in students' academic and moral development, and improved training for invigilators and academic staff on detecting and preventing cheating. Additionally, institutions should strengthen their examination policies, ensure consistent enforcement, and invest in research-driven strategies to curb academic dishonesty.

Abstract

Nigeria bears a disproportionate burden of global maternal mortality, contributing approximately 10% of all maternal deaths worldwide. This study adopts a multi-theoretical and empirical approach to analyze the complex interplay of socio-cultural, economic, and systemic determinants influencing maternal mortality in Nigeria. Grounded in models such as the Three Delays Model, Health Belief Model, Social Determinants of Health, Andersen’s Behavioral Model, and the Cultural and Structural Competency Framework, the research highlights the multifaceted barriers impeding timely and effective maternal care. Empirical findings based on Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) modeling reveal persistent, though insufficient, declines in maternal and child mortality over recent decades. Additionally, socioeconomic variables such as low levels of female education, high fertility rates, poverty, and inadequate access to antenatal care significantly correlate with maternal mortality rates. The study critiques existing interventions as poorly coordinated and unsustainable, with limited community involvement and cultural adaptation. Recommendations emphasize a multilevel prevention strategy—ranging from primordial to quaternary levels—integrating structural reforms, community-based education, capacity-building among healthcare providers, and a reconfiguration of national health policy. The findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on maternal health by providing a comprehensive, culturally-informed, and data-driven analysis aimed at guiding future research, policy, and practice.

Abstract

Infant mortality due to preventable infectious diseases remains a critical public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in resource-limited settings like Lagos State, Nigeria. This study conducted a statistical analysis of the patterns of selected diseases—malaria, measles, kwashiorkor, yellow fever, and cholera—affecting children under four years of age at Egan Primary Health Care Center in Igando, Lagos, over a one-year period (2020). Utilizing a hospital-based cross-sectional design, secondary data from 1,541 cases were analyzed using chi-square tests, relative risk (RR), and odds ratio (OR) to assess disease dependency on age, gender, and inter-disease associations. The results revealed that disease occurrence was independent of age (χ² = 857.48, p < 0.001) but showed no significant dependency on gender (χ² = 2.14, p = 0.709), though males exhibited higher susceptibility to malaria (OR = 1.33, RR = 1.15), measles (OR = 1.02), and kwashiorkor (OR = 1.16). In contrast, yellow fever (OR = 0.94) and cholera (OR = 0.96) posed slightly lower risks to males. The study highlights a high burden of childhood infectious diseases in Lagos, driven by environmental and healthcare disparities, and recommends targeted, gender-sensitive interventions to reduce under-five mortality.

Abstract

In this paper, the derivation of cumulative residual entropy which makes use of a probability distribution survival function for the derivation is presented. The entropy is derived for of a distribution introduced by Nkombou et al. (2025) called DUS Skew Student-t (DUSSS-t) Distribution. Specifically, the entropy derived is the Cumulative Residual Renyi Entropy (CRRE). The final result shows it is possible that other cumulative residual entropy for the DUSSS-t can be estimated following the same approach in this paper.

Abstract

E-waste plastics pose significant environmental and health challenges due to their complex composition and the harmful chemicals they contain. The improper disposal of these materials through methods like landfilling and incineration exacerbates their environmental impact. This review explores the assessment, characterization, and bioprocessing of e-waste plastics, focusing on their chemical properties, degradation mechanisms, and potential biotechnological solutions. Emerging technologies such as microbial degradation and enzymatic breakdown offer promising alternatives for the efficient recycling of these materials, potentially reducing their environmental footprint. The integration of these biotechnological approaches within circular economy models could provide a sustainable solution for managing plastic waste. However, challenges related to scalability, toxicity, and the economic viability of these solutions remain. Additionally, effective policy frameworks and regulations are crucial in guiding the sustainable management of e-waste plastics. This review also discusses future research directions, emphasizing the need for optimized bioremediation techniques and the importance of strengthening international policies to address the growing issue of e-waste plastics.

Abstract

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication plays a vital role in enhancing spectral efficiency and data rates in next-generation wireless networks, but interference management and optimal power control remain key challenges. This study aims to address these gaps by developing a modified Power Control Scheme for D2D communication (mPCS-D2D) using a Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm (HCA) to improve throughput while minimizing interference. The scheme combines proximity-based clustering for general D2D users and social relationship-based clustering for mmWave D2D communication. Simulations were conducted to evaluate the throughput performance of mPCS-D2D under varying D2D transmit power levels, user densities, and inter-user distances. Results showed that the proposed scheme significantly outperformed the baseline PCS-D2D model across multiple scenarios. At 10 m and 15 m distances with a pathloss exponent of 4.5, mPCS-D2D improved throughput by 5.15% and 4.42%, respectively. Under varying user densities and pathloss exponents (3.5 and 4.5), throughput gains ranged from 4.33% to 4.77%, while across 10 m, 15 m, and 20 m distances, it achieved improvements of 4.13% to 5.53%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed mPCS-D2D scheme effectively enhances data transmission rates under diverse network conditions. The study concludes that integrating hierarchical clustering into power control mechanisms can significantly improve D2D communication efficiency. The proposed method offers practical implications for designing scalable, interference-aware D2D systems in future wireless networks.

Abstract

A mathematical modeling of the impact of vector reduction and natural recovery on the transmission dynamics of malaria was carried out. We present a deterministic model for the transmission dynamics of malaria in which natural recovery and vector reduction were both important for the disease management. We estimated the basic reproduction number using the next generation matrix method and investigated the local stability of the disease free equilibrium points of the model. Sensitivity analysis and Numerical simulations of the basic reproduction number with respect to the model parameters were carried out. Our result shows that effective vector reduction and increased natural recovery will reduce the spread of malaria.

Abstract

This study investigates the prevalence of human schistosomiasis and other parasitic infections among early school-aged children in the Makurdi metropolis, Benue State, Nigeria. A total of 424 stool and urine samples were examined, with 220 (52.0%) collected from children in the Wadata community and 204 (48.0%) from Northbank. The participants included 218 males (51.4%) and 206 females (48.6%). Overall, 137 children (32.3%) were infected with at least one parasite, with a higher prevalence among males (36.7%) compared to females (27.7%). Infections with Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma mansoni were detected in 1.8% and 0.9% of the participants, respectively. Eight different parasitic species were identified, with Ascaris lumbricoides (6.6%) and hookworm (6.1%) being the most prevalent in single infections. The most common dual parasitic infection was Ascaris lumbricoides and hookworm (4.2%), while the most observed triple infection involved Hookworm, Entamoeba histolytica, and Ascaris lumbricoides (1.7%). Multiple infections frequently included Ascaris lumbricoides, followed by hookworm. Children aged 11–15 years showed the highest infection prevalence (41.3%), although the relationship between age and infection rate was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Contributing factors to infection included poor sanitation, inadequate access to basic amenities, and limited awareness about schistosomiasis and intestinal parasites. The study underscores the need for coordinated efforts by government and non-governmental organizations to improve living conditions and enhance public health education in affected communities.
