Bambara nut (Voandzeia subterrenea (L.) Thouars) is a cheap source of
leguminous protein with a good potential as substitute for relatively expensive animal
protein, in several food products such as biscuits, particularly in developing countries.
Biscuit was produced from blends of wheat flour and fermented bambara nut flour
(l00:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50) and was analysed. Proximate
composition and protein content of biscuit produced from the flour mixes was higher
than that produced with 100% wheat flour, while the moisture content ranged between
2.95 and 5.71%. The carbohydrate components and reducing sugar were in the ranges
of 60.29 and/64.99%, and 2.74 and 4.43%, respectively. Sensory data indicated that
the fermented bambara nut biscuit with up to 30% were acceptable. Thickness,
diameter and spread ratio of the biscuit ranged from 230.33 -285.67mm, 29.00 - 36.67
mm and 61.70 -89.19%, respectively. Consequently, the potentials of fermented
bambara nut in biscuit production was established thereby providing alternative

Entrepreneurship Development leads to employment creation, growth of the
economy those results to sustainable development. Youths on the other hand represents
the working force of every society which can bring about economic growth and
development of every nation. In order to achieve economic growth and development it
becomes imperative that they must be gainfully employed, otherwise, being unemployed
means that their energies will be diverted to negative practices which is crime. Even
though it is generally acknowledged that social vices are global issue, however, its rate
and incidence of criminality varies among youths, states and nations. It has been
established by previous work done in this area that high unemployment rate in Enugu
State is responsible for high rate of social vices in the state. It is in the light of this, that
the role of Entrepreneurship Development as a tool for the reduction of crimes is
examined. The study made use of review of literature, where various published and
unpublished documents were visited. It was found out that Entrepreneurship
Development does not only help to reduce social vices among youths, but also boosts
the economic growth and development of nations. It further shows that, the problem of
unemployment can be reduced with youths engaging in entrepreneurship practices as a
means of creating employment and in turn lessen the problem of crime.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and
antioxidant activities of ethanolic and palm wine extract of Phragmanthera capitata
stems widely used by traditional healers. Acute toxicity according to the OCDE
Guideline 423 showed that the LD50 of ethanolic and palm wine extract was greater
than 5000 mg/Kg body weight. Anti-inflammatory capacity was evaluated by hind
paw oedema model using carrageenan-induced inflammation in rat. It has showed that
palm wine and ethanolic extracts possessed a dose-dependent anti-inflammatory
activity (at the first hour) with 21.47% and 41.24%, respectively, as a percentage
inhibition for the 200 and 300 mg/Kg body weight of palm wine extract and 16.95%
and 28.21% for the ethanolic extract of same dose as compared with 25.42% for
aspirin. The phenol dosage by the Folin-Ciocalteu method showed that ethanolic
extract (14420 mg EAA/g dry extract) had a high content relative to the palm wine
extract (2570 mg EAA/g of dry extract ). The antioxidant capacity was evaluated by
the diphenyl-picryl test (DPPH), where the ethanolic extract showed strong
antioxidant activity with a EC50 of 0.0085 mg/mL when that of the wine extract was
0.049 mg/mL, after the ascorbic acid (standard) with 0.033 mg/mL. Ethanolic and
palm wine extract of Phragmanthera capitata stems are non-toxic and have
inflammatory and antioxidant activity that could justify its traditional use.

Ministry of Education is determined to improve access, equity, quality, and
relevance of education through better management of service delivery to all learners.
Achievement in this sector will, therefore, enhance economic growth, create more
employment, and guarantee sustainable development for the Kenyan people. The
country therefore, has no choice but must make massive investment in science,
mathematics and technology education, particularly in women; if at all the set targets
will be to achieve the goals well articulated in Vision 2030.The purpose of the study
was to determine the rate of flow of men and women in selected science and
technology programmes in Kenyan universities is the same and to investigate
alternative strategic to enhance survival rate of flow of men and women in selected
science and technology programmes in Kenyan universities is the same. The theory
used in this study was Liberal feminism. It is rooted in the tradition of 16th- and 17thcentury liberal philosophy, which focused on the ideals of equality and liberty. The
research design used in this study is ex post facto. The study was carried out in 3
Kenyan public and 3 private universities. The data of the study was collected using
questionnaires and focus group discussion. The obtained data was analyzed using
Wilcoxon Mann–Whitney Test. This test is a non-parametric analog to the independent
t-test and is used when one does not assume that the dependent variable is a normally
distributed interval variable (one can only assume that the variable has at least ordinal.
The findings indicate that lack of adequate qualified personnel remain the number one
factor that hinders the full rolling out of SMT programmes besides the expensive
equipment in both public and private universities. It is recommend that girls are equally
good in terms of performance at the university level means gender gap can be crossed
in STs related professions. A lot then needs to be done from early childhood education,
through primary to secondary school level to significantly improve the number of girls
transiting to university.

importance over recent years. Education and work in hospitals that are involved in the
'very dangerous workplaces' class are valuable in supporting prevention of workplace
accidents and occupational diseases. The aim of the study is to determine knowledge
status of non-physician health personnel, to receive their opinions about their work and
working environment, and to evaluate the occupational health and safety education
within the context of the "Occupational Health and Safety". The study was conducted
with non-physician employees in a university hospital. It was considered sufficient to
reach 80% of the employees without using any sampling method. A questionnaire form
was prepared as a data collection tool. Before the training, the questionnaire and the
'Occupational Safety Scale for Hospital Health Care Personnel' were completed.
Interactive training was provided by the researchers later on. After the training was
completed, a final test was conducted with 26 questions in the preliminary test.
Descriptive statistics and tests appropriate for distribution of the variables were used to
analyze the data. The limit value for significance was accepted as p <0.05. 61.7% of the
participants were nurses and 38.3% were other hospital employees.

The evidence-based morphometric study was carried out to ascertain the Alzheimer’s like pathology in normal aging brain in Navi Mumbai, India.35 normal human cadaver brain specimens were acquired from MGM Medical College, Navi Mumbai, and (Alzheimer`s disease brains) NIMHANS, Bangalore, after meeting the ethical clearance from MGMIHS. Control group of Alzheimer’s disease was considered. A history based on CERAD criteria was used for informent scale. We divided the total brains into five groups; group I (20 to 39 years), group II (40 to 59 years), group III (60 to 79 years), group IV (>80 years) and a control-group V (Alzheimer`s brain specimen). We recorded gross features, cortical thickness and the ventricular dilatation in each brain. The chi - square test was applied for calculating cortical atrophy and ventricular dilatation of various age groups. One way ANOVA test was applied to the relation between different age groups using the SPSS19 software. In our study, the mean reduction in brain weight was evident from the 6th decade of life with minimum weight of 800gm (951.90±101.3gm). A substantial difference in the average weight of the brain in different age group was observed (p<. 001). Cortical atrophy and ventricular dilatation was evident of 20% in group II, 60% in group III and 100% in group IV (p<. 01).
