The entrepreneurial activity is one of the contributors to the country’s economic development. From that, this paper examines five entrepreneurship models with underlying empirical studies. These are; (1) Conceptual Framework of Business Success, (2) Model of the Entrepreneurship Process, (3) Conceptual Framework of Business Success in SMEs, (4) A Model of Strategic Entrepreneurship, and (5) Input-Process-Output Model of Strategic Management. These models are useful and a thorough understanding of how an entrepreneur’s success is important, because this will lead to the development of new tools, such as (1) tools for business to improve their innovation and growth processes and, (2) tools for governments to develop new policies to support and direct economic growth.

Hypereosinophilia is defined by blood eosinophil count greater than 0.5 x 109 / L, it is a biological symptom which should not be neglected given the risk of visceral complications. However, any eosinophilia should be thoroughly investigated in order to define the etiology and treat it. Diagnosis of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome HES can be retained after elimination of parasitic, allergic and haematological causes in the presence of a blood eosinophilia greater than 1.5 x 109 / L evolving over a period of at least six months and complicated by at least one visceral lesion. The visceral sites observed are not specific among which the cardiac and neurological attacks are the most dangerous compared to the other attacks: bronchopulmonary, liver, digestive, renal, cutaneous. We report an observation of persistent hypereosinophilia in a patient with exclusively digestive signs and the diagnostic difficulties encountered.

Urban infrastructure includes physical structures and facilities that are developed or services provided by the public or private institutions to enhance the efficient functioning of an urban centre. In Nigeria, urban infrastructure are largely financed, owned and managed by government at the various tiers through established public agencies. This research is aimed at critically examining the funding strategy of urban infrastructure provision in Nigeria. The objectives included to examine the current state of urban infrastructure in Nigeria, to review the funding policy of urban infrastructure provision in Nigeria and to assess the impact of the funding strategy on urban infrastructure provision. Data for this study were collected from mostly secondary source. The research concluded that the Nigerian government has been guilty of neglecting or under-funding infrastructure development due to either poor budgeting, estimation of acquisition, maintenance cost or sheer mismanagement of funds allocated for such projects. The paper recommended that funding of urban infrastructure provision and maintenance should be embodied in the national budget while monitoring of the executed projects should be performed by the statutory government agencies. This will ensure that the value for money spent is realized.

Colorectal diseases are frequently encountered in clinical practice. They range from minor problems causing minimal discomfort to potentially serious diseases causing much morbidity and mortality. Clinically most of these disorders present with non-specific symptoms like altered bowel habits, diarrhea, bleeding per rectum either melaena or fresh hemorrhage; thus causing much delay in drawing attention. Early detection and proper management are essential to reduce the morbidity and mortality. Various diagnostic tools are developed in the recent past, improving the detection and assessment of these lesions. To study the profile of various neoplastic colorectal lesions and to know the relative frequency of various diseases, and to know the age, sex incidence and site of occurrence of the neoplastic colorectal lesions.

The study presents the assessment of water quality of a recirculation aquaculture system (RAS). In this study, a laboratory- scale recirculation aquaculture plant was designed and fabricated to reduce, recycle and reuse fish farm wastewater. The system incorporates trickling filter as a biological treatment processes. Development of bacteria on the trickling filter was done by continuous recirculation of highly concentrated fish farm waste water for 16 days when a considerable mass of bacteria enough for nitrification was observed to have developed. In the experiment, two different systems were compared: a RAS with trickling filter and a conventional open pond system. A sample of effluent from the trickling filter was analyzed for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, dissolved oxygen, pH and total suspended solid. The result of the analysis showed that the water parameters in RAS were within acceptable level for African catfish culture; 32.89L of water was used up in the RAS for the 21 days culture and percentage increase in weight ranging from 17.69% - 37.05% was observed in the RAS. This shows that the system was effective in producing required effluent quality for catfish fish rearing.

Since the past year budget deficit is corrected in the current year, this study seek to examine the lag effect of previous year‟s budget deficit on performance of the Nigeria economy in the contemporary year using VAR estimation between the periods 1981 to 2015. From the foregoing statistical output, findings established that Budget deficit significantly stimulate economic performance. The output of the granger causality test shows that budget deficit statistically granger cause economic performance and viz versa while the result of the multiple regression of the ordinary least square report a significant but negative relationship to economic performance. The negative response of budget deficit to economic performance could be attributed to moral hazard, mismanagement of fund and financial indiscipline which prevent the country from enjoying the sustainable level of expected growth overtime. The output of the VAR estimate established that the lag value of federal government budget deficit has contributed to performance of the economy in the current year although the contributive quadrant is not been felt to a reasonable extent. This empirical findings support the Keynesian postulation of significant relationship between budget deficit and economic performance. Prior to our findings, study recommends that Policy makers should ensure effective utilisation of borrowed fund and maintain a sporadic evaluation and supervision of such project in which borrowed fund are channelled into in order to achieve a profitable returns which will help in servicing of such debt and also stimulate economic performance.

One of the main challenges facing economic researchers across the globe, especially empirical researchers in developing economies, is how to document their work. Indeed, numerous scholarly contributions are rejected by credible and refereed journals due to poor documentation. This paper examines the importance of good documentation of empirical research in Economics as well as how such documentation is done. Specifically, this paper shows that replication may be impossible if empirical research is not properly documented, and that well compiled data file, do-file, and technical annex are key ingredients of properly documented empirical research in Economics.
