 Abstract

With the growing participation in entrepreneurship on global scale, this work focused on the performance of entrepreneurships in some selected rural areas in Kebbi State. in order to achieve the notable objectives of the study, four objectives were carefully formulated as follows: to examine the contributions of rural entrepreneurs towards income generation, to investigates the contributions of rural entrepreneurs towards employment generation, to identify whether the level of Education affect the performance of rural entrepreneurs and to identify the constrains militating against the performance of rural entrepreneurs respectively. An exploratory research design will be adopted for the study. The population of this study comprised of the total numbers of entrepreneurs in rural areas Kebbi State totalling 73. The areas were carefully selected by randomization for the study. Stratified random sampling technique was employed to establish to actual population size. A structured questionnaire was used as an instrument for the collection of the data. The data was analyzed with the help of descriptive statistics (frequencies, and simple percentages). Increased joblessness has been a very serious challenges in our country. To solve these problems and alleviate poverty in the rural areas it is important to re-position the activities of rural entrepreneurship in Nigeria by eliminating all the obstacles faced by rural entrepreneurs. It is on this note that this research work is aimed at investigating the performance of entrepreneurs on above said goals in some selected rural areas of Kebbi state. The research work helped in acquaintance the policy makers with dynamic operation of entrepreneurs as a tool of poverty alleviation in the state. It's also helped to add to the existing knowledge of the subject matter and provide room for further research in the area. Recommendations were put forwards including training for prospective entrepreneurs, relevant facilities should be precured, practitioners should be encouraged, motivated and supported by government and other relevant agencies. Well spirited individual can also come to aid of the prospective and practicing entrepreneurs.

 Abstract

The present work involves the formulation, evaluation & comparative anti-bacterial study of polyherbal soap with marketed soap. The herbal soaps were formulated using Azadirachta indica, Curcuma longa Linn. And Sapindus mukorossi extract. They were extracted by the Soxhlet extraction method using ethanol as solvent. The phytochemical screening of all the extracts showed the presence of various phytochemical constituents like saponins, phenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and steroids. Six different formulations with varying concentrations of plant extracts and ingredients were formulated using factorial design. Physico-chemical evaluation parameters like pH, moisture content, % alcohol insoluble matter, foam height, foam retention and % free alkali gave satisfactory results for formulated soap with good appearance, uniform colour and odour. The polyherbal soap (F3) and marketed soap were evaluated for antibacterial study against E.coli & B.subtilis strain. The zone of inhibition for E.coli at 100mg/ml concentration were found to be 0.3 cm & 0.4 cm and that of B.subtilis were found to be 0.7 cm & 0.8 cm, respectively. Therefore, the formulated polyherbal soap (F3) showed pre-eminent antibacterial properties as compared to marketed soap and the phytochemicals present in the herbs strengthens, nourish and moisturize the skin.

 Abstract

: Air pollution and waste management are some of the major concerns in the modern era. One of the common methods used for waste management and is growing in popularity is incineration. Incineration generates flue gas which contain harmful particulate matter and acid gases which if not treated are harmful pollutants. Decreasing the concentration of aerosol particles helps reduce the incidence of respiratory tract infections that can lead to disease and even death. Industries use electrostatic precipitator to treat the exhaust, whereas in domestic application, minimal effort is taken to do the same. A compact, low-cost electrostatic precipitator that requires low input voltages is designed to solve the need for air pollution control in domestic incinerators. Generation of high voltage in the electrostatic precipitator can be achieved by using a Cockcroft -Walton Multiplier and Flyback Transformer. High voltage generated cause a high voltage arc between the electrodes of an electrostatic precipitator that produce an electrostatic charge on the particulate matter. These charged particulate matter are then collected using oppositely charged collector plate.

Consequently, he has given the prominent importance to education and made his thriving efforts to sensitize the world civilization through his philosophy on education and its utmost importance to uplift the society and world humanity in real sense. Dr. Ambedkar himself has studied the philosophy of Indian as well as of the western philosophers and then perceived its influence into his own life's experience. He converted himself to Buddhism being deprived by the social set-up of his corresponding community. He felt the relevance of life, influence teachings and philosophy of Buddha and the philosophy of John Dewey into his own life. Consequently, his educational philosophy of life is the blend of Indian and Western philosophical ideology which has been resulted to a perfect amalgamation of life long educational philosophy even for the generations to be come into the world heritage.

 Abstract

Surface water holds immense significance, providing sustenance, transportation, recreation, and supporting life forms. Pollutants in water bodies pose a severe threat to human health as well as aquatic ecosystem. Jashpur district is bestowed with many rivers which are used for irrigation and drinking purposes. Nine physicochemical parameters including pH, turbidiy, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, chloride, fluoride, Calcium and magnesium were analysed in surface water samples collected from four different sampling sites of Jashpur district with the objective of evaluating the quality of the water. This paper presents a comparison of water quality across different sampling sites of study area based on calculations using weighted arithmetic water quality index. Result reveals that overall water quality of S2 and S3 is good while S1 and S4 are poor. Although water of S1 and S2 can be used for irrigation and other purposes, implementation of effective water treatment processes along with regular monitoring and testing of water quality are vital for improving water quality and to identify potential issues and take appropriate actions in future.
