Climate change has posed a serious threat to humanity, particularly to women, who are among the most vulnerable. Adaptation as a measure of disaster mitigation has received a lot of attention in the wake of climate change, but nearly all of it has disregarded women's contribution to disaster adaptation as a change agent. This research aims to review the available literature on women's adaptation methods in the face of climate-related disasters. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) technique was used to guide this research. With a thorough screening method, 19 articles out of 695 were selected utilizing two databases: Scopus and EBSCo discovery service. The findings are presented in a thematic way titled after the various adaption tactics employed by women across the world. The findings suggest that women have demonstrated their ability to use beneficial adaptation techniques in the face of several societal constraints, including reproductive responsibility. As a result of the findings, certain policy recommendations have been made, emphasizing the relevance of women's capacity building in disaster impact mitigation.

Over decades, most transactions in Nigeria were largely conducted in cash. However, Central Bank of Nigeria’s cash-less policy introduction aimed at reducing cash-based transactions, decreasing and integrating financially excluded adult into the formal financial sector of the economy has altered financial transaction landscape. Pursuant to this goal of financial inclusion, measures such as agency banking, national financial literacy, mobile payment system were introduced. However, research has somewhat under-explored how agency banking platforms influence financial inclusion among adult rural dwellers that are perceived to be more excluded in formal financial sector. Therefore, this study empirically investigates influence of agency banking on financial inclusion among adult rural dwellers in rural communities. A sample of 320 potential respondents were determined statistically. Self-administered questionnaire designed in Likert-Scale format was used to collect data from respondents. Convenience and judgemental sampling techniques were used to recruit participants who agreed to take part in the study. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling technique was applied in data analysis. Results show that agency banking has positive-significant correlation with saving consciousness and financial literacy; saving consciousness and financial literacy significantly and positively influence financial inclusion. The study discusses the theoretical, policy and managerial implications of the findings while highlighting possible areas for future research.

Background: Tissue flossing bands are a relatively new treatment modality that have increased in popularity in recent years. There is evidence suggesting that tissue flossing could decrease pain and increase joint range of motion, but there is still a need for further studies in this matter. Thus, this study aimed to assess the effect of a single tissue flossing treatment on the perceived pain and upper extremity function among healthy collegiate baseball pitchers. Methods: Twenty apparently healthy collegiate baseball pitchers (age: 21 ± 2.49) participated in this study. Tissue flossing treatment was performed from the wrist to the elbow on the participant’s throwing arm. Before and after treatment, perceived pain and upper extremity function was evaluated. Results: Following one round of tissue flossing treatment, the participants experienced a 27% decrease in perceived pain from baseline (3.05 ± 1.95 to 2.22 ± 2.04, p < 0.05). Participants did not experience a significant increase in perceived upper extremity function. In addition, participants did not report any complications as a result of the intervention. Conclusion: These findings demonstrated that in healthy collegiate baseball pitchers, tissue flossing bands treatment were capable of decreasing perceived pain.

Assessment of the level of contaminations from possible impact of crude oil on soil ecosystem is imperative for the determination of environmental acceptability. This study investigated this impact ex-situ using a culture-dependent approach to evaluate the total microbial counts; physicochemical tools to determine the cation exchange capacity (CEC), metal leachates, exchangeable bases (Mg, Ca, Na and K), pH, total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) and the overall effects on plants as indices of toxicity. The experiment demonstrated that at 1.5 – 3.5% contamination across days-zero to -28, there was a significant (p<0.05) increase in total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) from 0.03 ± 0.00 to 0.07 ± 0.00 with increase in acidity from pH 5.2 ± 0.00 to 4.0 ± 0.00 and a reduction in cation exchange capacity (CEC) from 0.82 ± 0.05 to 0.70 ± 0.11mEq and exchangeable bases with an augmented increase in phytotoxic elements and metal leachates. A reduction in microbial biomass from control, 1.30 x 109, to 3.6 x 108 cfu on week one as contamination increased and induction of hydrocarbonclastic organisms thereafter across weeks two and four, 3.88 x 108 and 4.40 x 108 cfu respectively was an indication of a reduction in microbial diversity. Ecosystem dynamics and mineralization were impaired and disrupted and the entire soil biochemistry altered with adverse effects on plant health.

10.36348/sjce.2022.v06i06.002
This study aimed to investigate the effect of corrosion on the bond strength of tension lap splices in reinforced concrete beams. The test variables were the corrosion level (0%, 2.5% and 5.0%) and the concrete cover to bar diameter (c/d) ratio (c/d=1.5, 2.0, and 2.67). The observed failure mode was splitting of the concrete cover on the tension side. An accelerated corrosion technique was used to corrode the reinforcing lap-spliced bars in a reasonable time frame. Corrosion did not affect failure mode but caused a reduction in the ultimate strength and deflection at failure. The bond strength was reduced by 15% to 26% at 2.5% corrosion level and by 21% to 38% at 5% corrosion level depending on the c/d ratio. A model was proposed to predict the bond strength of corroded tension lap-splices in concrete. The model results correlated well with the measured bond strength.

Loranthaceae are epiphytic hemiparasitic plants causing a lot of damage to cultivated or spontaneous woody species, but these parasitic plants are also used to treat a wide spectrum of diseases traditionally. It is with a view to searching for new sources of bioactive compounds that the present study was conducted with the aim of exploring the endophytic mycoflora of the haustoria of Phragmanthera capitata. The isolation of the endophytic fungi of P. capitata was done on a PDA (Potato Dextrose Agar) medium. The identification was on the basis of macroscopic and microscopic observations using identification keys. The mass culture of the isolated fungi was made on a solid medium based on rice and the extraction with ethyl acetate. 20 endophytic fungi belonging to 7 genera and 2 unidentified species were isolated from P. capitata: Aspergillus, Trichoderma, Penicillium, Cladosporium, Aureobasidium, Mucor and Fusarium. Flavonoids, tannins, anthocyanins and coumarins were detected in all extracts of these endophytic fungi. The endophytic fungi associated with this plant would also be a potential source of bioactive compounds and the exploration of medicinal plants, and habitats of endophytes would be an advantageous path for the discovery of new species of endophytes and new bioactive secondary metabolites.
