This study created day-to-day bias-corrected data of precipitation (ppt), maximum temperature (tmax) and minimum temperature (tmin) at 0.25° spatial resolution for Nepal using 7 CMIP6-GCMs under two shared socioeconomic pathways, SSP245 and SSP585. The bias-corrected datasets were produced using an empirical robust quantile mapping method for ppt and quantile mapping with linear transformation function method for tmax and tmin. The bias-corrected dataset was evaluated by comparing it against observed data for the mean values of ppt, tmax and tmin. Our bias-corrected projections reveal a warming of 4-6°C and an increase in ppt of 40-60% by the end of the 21st century. These changes will have a significant impact on Nepal's climate, environment, and people. The bias-corrected projections can be used to assess the impact of climate change in Nepal and to develop adaptation strategies.</p><p><b>Keywords:</b> Climate change, Bias-Correction, CMIP6, Global Climate Model, Nepal</p><p>Received 20.07.2023; Revised 18.09.2023; Accepted 02.11.2023</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cite This Article:</b> Dhital, H.P., Joshi, M., & Budhathoki, N.

Cwande is a local condiment that is used to add flavor to the food, it get infected with fungi and aflatoxins as a result of improper processing and storage procedures. This study aimed to determine the aflatoxin levels in Cwande condiments sold in Zuru Local Government Area, Kebbi State, Nigeria, as well as the prevalence of fungal flora. Twenty (20) dried processed samples from four different collection points in Zuru central market were chosen at random and placed in brand-new polythene bags. Fungi were isolated on Potato Dextrose Agar by Standard Dilution Plate method. Aflatoxin was determined using the ELISA method, which is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Five fungal species were isolated and identified as Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, A. fumigatus, Rhizopus stolonifer and Fusarium Oxysporum. Fungal species were present in varying degrees, from 9.09% to 39.39%. Aflatoxins varied from 2.539 to 2.546 in all samples. These results led to the discovery that the commercially available Cwande in the Zuru central market was tainted with various fungal species, including aflatoxigenic ones. All of the samples tested positive for aflatoxin according to the analysis, however none of them had levels that exceeded the 10g/kg maximum permissible limit for humans stipulated by the EU and NAFDAC. More research should be conducted in order to determine the nutritional and anti-nutritional components of the regional condiment (Cwande).</p><p><b>Keywords:</b> <i>Aflatoxin, Cwande, Fungal flora, Nigeria, Zuru LGA</i></p><p>Conflicts of interest: None<br />Supporting agencies: None</p><p>Received 05.07.2022; Revised 06.09.2022; Accepted 14.09.2022</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cite This Article</b>: Ahmad, A., Keta, J.N. & Singh, D.

Health issues are the most crucial and burning difficulties for human beings in all of these aspects. The scope of this review considered commonly used methodologies for climate change-induced diseases research and assessment of climate-induced health problems throughout Bangladesh. Surveys, key informant interviews (KII), focus group discussion (FGD), registered hospital visit patient data as well as and other similar methodologies are found popular in this research area. Negligible studies are found that used experimental method including laboratory analysis and registered hospital visit of patient information. Very few experimental studies observed water sample tests and human health-related samples like urine and blood pressure. People living in the coastal part has climate-induced crisis like salinity intrusion, cyclone, storm surge that lead to health problems like diarrhea, cholera, skin diseases, typhoid, chicken pox. While people living in both drought-prone and flood prone areas have health problems like diarrhea, cholera, fever, and skin diseases. People living in the urban and the hilly regions have climate induced crisis of increased temperature and they suffer from vector-borne diseases. Waterborne communicable diseases are the most common climate-induced diseases found in this review. Waterborne non-communicable diseases like hypertension, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and gynecological problems during pregnancy are common and women suffers a lot. Blood pressure and related cardiovascular diseases, jaundice, and respiratory issues are also getting worse day by day which has strong connection with climate change effects like temperature, rainfall and salinity.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Keywords:</b> Climate-induced, Communicable, Health, Salinity, Vector-borne, Waterborne</p><p style="text-align: justify;">DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.3126/josem.v1i3.48002" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.3126/josem.v1i3.48002</a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Conflicts of interest: None<br />Supporting agencies: None</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Received 30.06.2022; Revised 19.08.2022; Accepted 27.08.2022</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cite This Article:</b> Kibria, G., Pavel, H.R., Miah, M.R., & Islam, M.R.

The rainfall associated with Western disturbances is small in quantum but veritably important for the cold season crops, maintaining the glaciers over the Putao region, hydropower generation for the whole country and hazard of Jade mining of the Upper Myanmar area. This study aims to find interannual variability and related ocean-atmospheric pattern link with Upper Myanmar cold season rainfall by using great-resolution reanalysis data (ERA5) during 1990-2020. Correlation analysis to test the validation of ERA5 gridded data with the observed data from 25 stations across Myanmar, showed a strong correlation value in the same period that enough reliable for best analysis results. An anomalous anticyclonic (cyclonic) circulation persists over the southern part of the Bay of Bengal and South China sea during wet (dry) years. Also, the warming over the Indian Ocean and the cooling over the Tibetan plateau region correspond to south-north transport of moisture, ensuing in positive rainfall anomalies over the study region during winter. The wide patches of strong negative (positive) correlation are found over the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea (MED), Arabian Sea (ARS), and Red Sea (RED) during wet (dry) years. The link implies that NPO, SPO, and MED have an impact on the winter rainfall inter-annual variability. In addition, the cooling (warming) over the Indochina and western Pacific regions influences the Hadley and Walker circulation bringing above (below) normal rainfall, respectively, over Upper Myanmar. The reply of indices (PO, MED, NINO3.4, IOD, and WDs) on winter rainfall, necessary to further investigation. The complete analysis of winter rainfall aids in the understanding of past extreme events as well as the forecasting and monitoring of drought and floods in Upper Myanmar.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Keywords:</b> <i>Myanmar rainfall, Sea surface temperature, Western disturbances, Winter rainfall </i></p><p style="text-align: justify;">DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.3126/josem.v1i3.48001" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.3126/josem.v1i3.48001</a></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Conflicts of interest: None</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Supporting agencies: None</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Received 20.06.2022; Revised 19.08.2022; Accepted 29.08.2022</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cite This Article: </b>Oo, K.T.

For better understanding of the field conditions with regards to the impact of the grass on the socioeconomic of the area (agriculture, fishing and the livelihood pattern), two hundred (200) questionnaires were designed and administered, out of which only One hundred and forty five (145) were returned. Findings from the questionnaire survey of some communities along river Aliero (Kashin Zama and Sabiyal) show that, there is general reduction in the flow of water in the river channel over the last few years. This was attributed to blockages by Typha angustifolia L. grass and silt deposits within the river channel. There is also reduced or loss of cultivation of some crops particularly irrigated crops such as millet, maize, rice, wheat and vegetables, fishing activities in the area is also affected by the grass. This situation is worst in Kashin Zama area, where many farmers reported that, before the emergence of Typha angustifolia grass in the area, they recorded 225bags of rice in 10hecter, and now only 60-65 bags where recorded in the same piece of land. Moreover, communities have tried communal and individual manual clearance of the Typha, while Aliero Local Government, Kebbi State and Federal Governments are also carrying out mechanical clearance work in the channel. All these efforts have little impact.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Keywords:</b> <i>Aliero, River, Nigeria, Typha angustifolia L.

The current study examines the ecology of Pila globosa and determines their current bio-economic situation. Pila globosa were collected from Singra, Lalpur and, Bagatipara upazila of Natore district. It was found 1.5-fold decline of the snail population in the study areas. Pila globosa is an ecological element that actively contributes to preserving a healthy aquatic habitat, which is necessary for biodiversity preservation. On the one hand, snail fauna scientific management is out of date. On the other hand, Pila globosa is still being exploited for fish culture, providing the underprivileged with a means of subsistence and the country with foreign income. By easing pressure on the natural population, the scenario justifies the development of supplemental Pila globosa culture techniques for commercial use.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Keywords:</b> <i>Bangladesh, Biodiversity, Bio-economics, Ecology, Pila globosa</i></p><p style="text-align: justify;">DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.3126/josem.v1i3.47999" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #006798; font-family: "Noto Sans", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; text-align: left;">https://doi.org/10.3126/josem.v1i3.47999</a></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Conflicts of interest: None</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Supporting agencies: None</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Received 05.06.2022; Revised 19.08.2022; Accepted 29.08.2022</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cite This Article:</b> Shathi, U.H., & Rahman, M.R.

Using a systematic random sampling technique, 200 samples were collected from two districts, viz., Jhansi and Jalaun of Bundelkhand region, India from September to November 2017, while rainfall and temperature data were collected from 1969 to 2017 from the Indian Meteorological Department of India to find the link between farmers’ perception on rainfall & temperature, and district’s rainfall and temperature pattern in long-term. Different statistical tools such as the Man Kendall test was employed to examine the rainfall and temperature trends, while the Breusch-Pagan test was used to check heteroscedasticity in the model. Further, the binary logistic regression model was also used to examine the determinants of farmers’ perceptions using socioeconomic variables. The results confirm based on the majority of the farmers’ perception that temperature has increased, while rainfall has declined. These results are in a similar line with the district’s rainfall and temperature trends. The regression results suggest that gender, education, and access to toilets are less likely to influence the farmers’ perception of climate change, while age, income, and access to electricity are significantly likely to influence the farmers’ perception of climate change. Hence, policy should be implemented to enhance rural farming communities’ awareness of climate change by providing training and creating awareness</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Keywords: Agriculture, Binary logistic model, Climate adaptation, Climate change, Mann kendall, Rainfed, Vulnerability </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>DOI</b>: <a href="https://doi.org/10.3126/josem.v1i3.47997" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.3126/josem.v1i3.47997</a></p><div><div class="WordSection1">

In textiles, handloom weaving is considered as the sustainable way of fabric manufacturing. Many ancient crafts clusters are still existing and re-inventing themselves to create sustainable products. The craft of ‘Pattu weaving’ is one of them which is known as a traditional weaving technique. Pattu weaving is a traditional craft using extra weft weaving technique which is widely practised by the weavers in India. The study has reviewed the materials, tools, techniques and processes used in this craft, along with the challenges and opportunities for the upliftment of the craft. A comparative study of traditional and contemporary materials, colour palette, motifs and product range of the craft are also covered in this paper. Major part of the information and images have been collected during craft research documentation activity while visiting the craft cluster at Bhojasar and Karwa villages in Rajasthan where Pattu craft has been practiced by the weavers since ages. Along with this, secondary research has also been included in this document to strengthen the study.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/josem/article/view/45382" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here for full article</a></p>JOSEMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13726706568475812095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643133462524983089.post-1683490571597794102022-05-17T10:38:00.002-07:002022-06-06T05:23:57.031-07:00Measurement of Activity Concentration of 40K, 226Ra and 232Th in Commercial Wall Paints Used in Nigeria and Inherent Radiological Hazards<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>E.

In this study, the measurement of radioactivity concentration of 40K, 226Ra and 232Th to determine inherent radiological hazards in major brands of commercial wall paints used in Nigeria was carried out. Twenty paint samples were selected based on the popularity and quantity of sales of these paints’ brands as obtained from oral interview with these paints’ marketers. A NaI (Tl) detector (76×76 mm) was employed in the measurements. High mean levels of the radioactivity of 40K, 226Ra and 232Th were observed in emulsion paints 174.73, 58.18 and 56.98 Bq/kg while oil paints gave lower values of 119.66, 44.66 and 37.86 Bq/kg for 40K, 226Ra and 232Th respectively. From results obtained, most of the emulsion and oil paints available in Nigeria present low level of radioactivity concentration which does not pose significant radiological risk to user population. However, average excess lifetime cancer risk of these paints gave a value higher than the recommended limit. Based on this, regulation, quality control and constant monitoring of raw materials used for paint production in Nigeria is highly advised.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>DOI</b>: https://doi.org/10.3126/josem.v1i2.45368</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Conflicts of interest: None<br />Supporting agencies: None</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Received 26.03.2022; Revised 02.05.2022; Accepted 17.05.2022</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cite This Article</b>: Echeweozo, E.O., Onwunyiriuwa, G.M., & Nwigwe, P.A.

The study was carried out in Building Technology Department, Federal Polytechnic Bida, Niger State. Bricks of 222×110×70 were produced using manual pressed machine where nine bricks each were stabilized with palm kernel fiber for 1%, 2%, and 3%. Also 9 bricks each were stabilized with palm leaf ash for each percent 5%, 10% and 15%. The materials used were Palm Kernel Fiber, Palm Leaf Ash laterite soil, and water. The abrasion resistance test and water penetration test were carried out. The findings revealed that the water penetration rate for the CLEB bricks stabilized with PKF recorded average penetration rate of 10.18 at 1%, 11.52 at 2% and 12.19 at 3%. Only 3% produced higher penetration rate while CLEB stabilized with PLA recorded average water penetration rate of 11.58 at 5%, 10.63 at 10%, and 11.27 at 15%. All were in conformity with NBRRI specification of 12.5%. The abrasion resistance of the 28 day CLEB stabilized with PKF recorded average abrasion of 1.40 at 1%, 1.28 at 2% and 3.68 at 3%. All result were conformity with the NBBRI specification of 6.9. While the abrasion resistance of the 28 day CLEB stabilized with PLA recorded average abrasion of 2.39 at 5%, 2.22 at 10% and 2.32 at 15% which were in conformity with the NBBRI specification of 6.9. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that the CLEB stabilized with palm kernel fiber at 1% and 2% are in conformity with NBRRI specification of compressive strength, water absorption rate and abrasion resistance. While compressed laterite bricks stabilized with palm leaf ash should be improve to conform to NBRRI specification.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/josem/article/view/45365" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here for full article</a></p>JOSEMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13726706568475812095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643133462524983089.post-35550617875292365502022-05-17T09:16:00.001-07:002022-06-26T01:32:36.656-07:00Role of Isolates of Bacillus Species for Biodegradation of Multiple Contaminants <p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Jyoti Sarwan*</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">University Institute of Biotechnology, Chandigarh University, Gharuan, Punjab, India </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Jagadeesh Chandra Bose K</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">University Institute of Biotechnology, Chandigarh University, Gharuan, Punjab, India </p><p style="text-align: justify;">*Corresponding author: jyoti.r48@cumail.in </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Abstract</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nature is the precious gift for every organism on the earth but, only few species making benefits of it and rest are suffering from scarcity of natural resources because of over exploitations.

Floods cause serious damage to lives and properties, disrupt economic activities, and, in turn, threaten the sustainable development of human settlements. In Nigeria, flooding has become a recurring phenomenon, sometimes with devastating effects. This study was aimed at assessing the socio-economic, infrastructural, and environmental impacts of floods in Makurdi Local Government Area (LGA). A non-probability sampling technique involving the use of a well-structured questionnaire was adopted in obtaining the required information. Purposive random sampling was used to select four hundred (400) flood victims from the nine (9) local wards bordering the Benue River. Analysis was done using Microsoft Excel and the findings were presented in tables and charts using percentages. The result showed that floods have a huge impact on the community, with greater damage 44% recorded on socio-economic activities (farming, marketing, and administration), followed by a 32% impact on infrastructural facilities (roads, hospitals, and schools), and a relatively lower impact 24% recorded on environmental variables (water, land, and vegetation). An Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test conducted on these revealed that there is a significant variation in the impact created by floods on the study variables. Flood mitigation and preparedness plans were found to be the leading challenges to long-term flood disaster management in the area. The paper calls for collaborative efforts from residents, flood disaster management agencies, or stakeholders to reduce the impact and improve decisions towards ameliorating the menace of floods in the area. The evidence in this paper seeks to promote actions toward combating flooding and improving flood disaster management in Nigeria.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/josem/article/view/45364" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here for full article</a></p>JOSEMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13726706568475812095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643133462524983089.post-80383228763396243562022-05-16T22:06:00.005-07:002022-06-26T01:33:56.620-07:00Integrated Management of Construction and Demolition Waste as Key Factor of Urban Circular Economy<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Samourkasidou Elena</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Department of Urban Planning and Regional Development, University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Kitis Konstantinos</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Environmental Engineer, M.Eng.

There is a strong interest in this particular sector due to the significant building stock that requires demolition and also the pressures to the municipal waste management services due to the small-scale renovations of mainly short-term tourist accommodation. This study was conducted to understand the impact of an integrated strategic circular economy approach to urban sustainable development and resilience. To identify this correlation, the upper strategy was analyzed in its partial components and key pillars following the four-helix model while a link with the broader theoretical framework was formulated. Of particular added value is the underlining of the barriers and weaknesses identified during the planning process, which can act as a pilot in all corresponding Greek medium-sized cities. The results suggest that the integrated management of construction and demolition waste, which comprises actions at all distinct stages (raising awareness, planning, implementation and monitoring) have a positive impact on achieving the SDGs and in creating conditions for urban resilience. However, a quantitative assessment is recommended in order to evaluate through specific indicators when this strategy moves into the implementation phase.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/josem/article/view/45363" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here for full article</a></p>JOSEMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13726706568475812095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643133462524983089.post-62503691194004466712022-05-16T21:58:00.003-07:002022-06-26T01:34:43.996-07:00Analysis of Environmental Impact and Waste Management of Egg Poultry Industry in the Philippines: A Case of San Jose, Batangas <p style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Ramces M.

Poultry owners in the Philippines, notably in San Jose, Batangas, face numerous waste management concerns. This study examined these issues as well as their environmental safety policies. San Jose, in Batangas province, is renowned as "The Egg Basket of the Philippines" for its large-scale egg production. This study collected data using qualitative descriptive analysis. The poultry farms in the municipality were about 376 as of 2021, but with no definite total number of poultry owners. Interviews with the municipal agriculturist and ten poultry owners was utilized. The study revealed substantial waste management difficulties such as manure disposal, water and air pollution, odor disturbance and insects, weather conditions, and virus outbreaks (bird flu). The study's concerning SDGs were 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). Waste disposal over the past decades still poses a threat to the environment. The local government adopted poultry ordinances/resolutions: Resolution 164 of 2008, Resolution 341 of 2016, and Resolution 348 of 2016/Ordinance 007 series of 2016. These policies and initiatives were concluded to be environmentally friendly, but most poultry owners lack awareness of the said policies. Awareness is vital for better policy responses, and the municipality needs to develop its information dissemination. It is essential to improve waste management policies and farm monitoring methods. The local government should implement concrete socioeconomic and environmental programs to empower residents and poultry owners, especially the younger generation, and improve the municipality's knowledge of waste management techniques.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/josem/article/view/45362" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here for full article</a></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>JOSEMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13726706568475812095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643133462524983089.post-49739366454561480632022-05-16T11:10:00.003-07:002022-06-26T01:35:34.862-07:00Tree Growth Analysis as a Panacea for Sustainable Forest Management in Northeast Nigeria: Study of Lannea Kerstingii (Anacardiaceae)<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Justus Eronmosele OMIJEH</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, Modibbo Adama University, Yola.

This paper looked into bridging the gaps in clean mobility and transport through engineering interventions and other innovative ideas. Salient issues affecting clean mobility and an effective transport system were highlighted and possible solutions were suggested. The methodology includes a literature survey and consultation of environmental experts. A deeper understanding of the gaps between mobility and transportation management can provide insightful information into how cities must be structured. Clean mobility refers to all forms of transportation that do not require the use of fossil fuels exclusively. Mobility specializes in making ground-breaking solutions that enable mobility and industry to attain zero-emissions status. It was concluded that engineering interventions and other innovative ideas can be used to bridge the gaps in clean mobility and transport. Monitoring climate change and reduction of environmental pollution are very vital for the sustainable green environment in African urban communities. There is a need to strengthen digital advancements for integrated solutions in infrastructural development and transportation networks. Proper planning, adequate funding and sustainable development are very crucial for bridging the gap and attaining of a cleaner environment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/josem/article/view/45359" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here for full article</a></p>JOSEMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13726706568475812095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643133462524983089.post-53140998014484738552022-05-16T10:57:00.005-07:002022-06-26T01:36:51.550-07:00Implication of FIFA 2022 on Active Living and Environmental Changes: A Managerial Perspective<p style="text-align: justify;"><b> Girish K.

The primary data was collected through the questionnaire which was validated and tested using confirmatory factor analysis. The second-generation statistical analysis using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was adopted which undertakes both regression and factor analysis simultaneously using Partial Least Square Method. The results have shown that there is a significant influence of environmental factors on material-based factors, community-based factors, emotion-based factors, and health-based factors. Further, the community-based factor had significant influence on mental health, emotion-based factor has significant influence on social health, and health-based factor had significant influence on spiritual health. The environmental factors had significant influence on mental, social, and spiritual health. Surprisingly, the environmental factors and material-based factors had no significant influence on physical health. The implications of the study are in the form of suggestions to the managers of tourism industry and the strategic planners of FIFA 2022 in Qatar. Application of scenario planning tools may be required to make an estimate of the material-based factors. Optimum number of events to be hosted in the country may have to be estimated such that it contributes to the betterment of the community-based factors.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/josem/article/view/45357" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here for full article</a></p>JOSEMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13726706568475812095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643133462524983089.post-71457296638999409442022-05-13T01:44:00.003-07:002022-06-26T01:48:36.504-07:00Impact of Climate and Land Use Changes on the Livelihood of Residents in Calabar River Basin, South-eastern Nigeria<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ibiso Michael Inko –Tariah</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Coastal Research Group (COREG), Department of Geography and Environmental Management, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt, Nigeria</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Temple Probyne Abali</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Coastal Research Group (COREG), Department of Geography and Environmental Management, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt, Nigeria</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Leonard Michae</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Coastal Research Group (COREG), Department of Geography and Environmental Management, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt, Nigeria</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Onyinyechi Aminigbo</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Coastal Research Group (COREG), Department of Geography and Environmental Management, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt, Nigeria</p><p style="text-align: justify;">*Corresponding author: ibiso.inko-tariah@ust.edu.ng </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Abstract</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and fuel combustion have caused climatic and land use changes, affecting the livelihood of residents negatively in Calabar River Basin, South-eastern Nigeria. In the region, there has been a constant and prolonged rise in temperature. To determine the status of climatic change, data sets spanning 43 years (1971-2014) were obtained from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) and compared to NIMET's historical meteorological data maps of Nigeria between 1941-1970 and 1971-2000, commonly known as the base period. In contrast, utilizing imageries from several satellites (Landsat), multi-temporal dates (MSS 1980, TM 1990, ETM 2000, and ETM+2010) and ArcGIS, researchers were able to determine the Land Use Changes / Land Covers (LULC) that have occurred in the Calabar river basin through time (1980-2020). Climate data revealed a historical sequence of temperature rises, as evidenced by late beginning and early cessation of rainfall, which had a negative influence on agriculture. Similarly, the investigation found that the environment has been warmer as temperatures have risen significantly, and that the harmattan dust haze has also increased in recent years. The investigation for LULC came up with six broad classifications: urban (built-up), water bodies, forest, farm, grass, and bare areas. Built-up area and farmland land uses have increased dramatically (3.19%-20.73%) and (10.20% -23.79%), respectively; forest (35.85%- 24.84%), water bodies (8.77%- 5.27%), Grassland (24.68%- 12.67%), and bare land uses have decreased dramatically (17.31%-12.69%). Since 1941 through 2020, temperatures have risen at a pace of 0.14° F (0.08° C) every decade, and the rate of warming is more than twice that: 0.32° F (0.18° C) per decade. The shortening of the rainy season has been forced by the late start and early cessation of rains. This has had a negative impact on the region's farming activities. The study recommends reforestation and the formation of forest reserves, greater energy efficiency, a shift to renewable resources / cleaner sources of energy (solar and wind), and reduced deforestation to mitigate the risks connected with climate and land use changes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/josem/article/view/45356" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here for full article</a></p>JOSEMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13726706568475812095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643133462524983089.post-84862570448198857252022-05-13T01:39:00.008-07:002022-06-26T01:49:33.253-07:00Utilization of Safety Facilities in Building Construction Sites in Federal Capital Territory Abuja and Niger State, Nigeria<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Umar Garba</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Department of Industrial and Technology Education, Federal University of Technology Minna, Niger State, Nigeria</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>D.

Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The study was conducted in FCT Abuja and Niger State, Nigeria. A total of 181 respondents consisting of 20 contractors, 71 builders and 90 tradesmen with 43 items structured questionnaire were used. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was determined using Cronbach alpha method and coefficients of A ꞊ 0.889 & B ꞊ 0.727 respectively. Weighted mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the research questions while ANOVA was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that the respondents agreed with that of the safety facilities were utilized by the construction site worker while some were not complied. This implies that, safety facilities needs to be utilized in building construction. The findings revealed that there was significant difference in the mean ratings of the responses of the three groups of respondents (20 contractors, 71 builders and 90 tradesmen) as regard the of safety facilities. Similarly, there was no significant difference in the man ratings of the respondents as regards the extents of utilizing safety facilities in building construction sites. It was therefore recommended among others that contractors, builders and tradesmen require appropriate training/induction regularly on the use of safety facilities in building construction site base on their peculiarities. There should be appropriate information concerning the use personal protective equipment (PPE) at work to prevent accident from site. Working environment should always be cleared and kept free from all objects that can cause harm or injure the workers in building construction site.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/josem/article/view/45352" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here for full article</a></div>JOSEMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13726706568475812095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643133462524983089.post-47404473858620913412022-05-11T22:52:00.004-07:002022-06-26T01:50:28.319-07:00Analysis of Trace Metals in Hand Dug Wells around Dumpsites in Okene Metropolis, Nigeria<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Omeiza Samuel Folorunsho</b>* </p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Department of Chemistry, Kogi State College of Education Ankpa, Nigeria</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Department of Chemistry, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria </div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Adebayo Albert Ojo</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Department of Chemistry, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Adebayo Mathew Ayorinde</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Department of Chemistry, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ajayi Olubode Olumuyiwa</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Department of Chemistry, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria</p><p style="text-align: justify;">*Corresponding author: folorunshoomeiza@gmail.com </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Abstract</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This study examined the levels of trace metals in leachates from dumpsites and hand dug wells used as sources of drinking water by the inhabitants of Okene Metropolis, Kogi State Nigeria. This is important because the presence of toxic heavy metals in the environment continues to generate a lot of concern to environmental scientists, government agencies and public health practitioners leading to adverse health implications. The leachates and hand dug well water samples were collected during the wet season of 2019-2021 and analyzed for some selected trace metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cr, and Mn) using AA320N atomic absorption spectrophometer. The result showed that there was high concentration of most of the trace metals in the leachate samples compared to the groundwater samples with some of the trace metals above the maximum limit set by W.H.O.

This pose threats to the continuous existence of man and the sustenance of natural vegetation. Based on the foregoing, the study was designed to assess compliance with preliminary environmental investigations for erecting sustainable building structures in Abuja Metropolis. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The research was carried out in Abuja Metropolis Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was used for the study. The targeted population for the study was 148 subjects comprising of 72 builders and 76 engineers. Since the population was manageable no sampling was done. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Cronbach’s alpha statistical tool was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument and was found to be 0.80. Data collected for the study was analyzed using mean, standard deviation and z-test. Mean was used to analyze the research questions while z-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that builders and engineers are aware of all the necessary preliminary investigations that should be conducted before erecting building structures. The findings also showed that despite the fact that builders and engineers are aware of the necessary preliminary environmental investigations to be conducted before erecting building structures, they still fail to execute the investigations of the building which aren’t environmentally friendly. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that all the preliminary investigations identified in this study should be made a requirement for approving any building plans and construction and also government should enact laws to punish violators of preliminary investigations in Nigeria.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/josem/article/view/45350" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here for full article</a></p>JOSEMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13726706568475812095noreply@blogger.com
