 Abstract

A pattern of industry development with cumulative increase year over year is necessary for any developing nation. Governments attempt to construct industries for the nation's development, but this takes a lot of initiative and work, which calls for an entrepreneurial mindset. Indian conditions are ideal for start-ups due to a number of variables, including the country's large consumer market and significant industry development potential. The Indian start-up industry has demonstrated a significant impact on the nation's economic growth in recent years, and this contribution to the Indian economy is still present today. The Indian economy is growing, and the government is aiming for a 3 trillion dollar economy in the near future, but what about the financial stability of startups following the COVID-19 pandemic? Is it still promising, and does it have any impact? The start-ups financial health before and after COVID 19 is the main focus of this research. The objective of research is to determine the state of currently operating start-ups and the beginning of new projects . For in-depth investigation of the aforementioned goals, the exploratory research method is employed.

Abstract: Water is an essential resource for human survival. With the increase of water consumption, water quality is facing severe challenges. Industrialization, agricultural production, and urban life have resulted in the degradation and pollution of the environment, adversely affecting the water bodies necessary for life, ultimately affecting human health and sustainable social development. Globally, an estimated 80% of industrial and municipal wastewater is discharged into the environment without any prior treatment, with adverse effects on human health and ecosystems. This proportion is higher in the least developed countries, where sanitation and wastewater treatment facilities are severely lacking.

 Abstract

Nigerians are known to contribute greatly across various disciplines and continents in the globe with prominent contributions in the provision of skilled healthcare services in the United Kingdom and United States of America. Despite this exploit abroad, the medical industry in Nigeria which was at the transition stage is currently becoming comatose and therefore needs immediate transformation to meet up with the rising population who struggle to access quality healthcare services in the nation. This review provides pertinent information on medical industrialization with emphasis on the successes made, challenges encountered, and solutions needed to improve various specialties in nephrology, cardiology and surgery in the area of renal replacement therapy, open heart surgery, organ transplant, myomectomy, hip and knee replacement and plastic surgery in Nigeria. A review of several articles was done, and findings articulated into major thematic areas. The review showed various successes which include successful conduct of renal transplant in St. Nicholas Hospital, Lagos in 2000 with several government and private renal centres springing up, successful conduct of open heart surgery as far back as 1974 in University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu with new centres also springing up, routine and successful conduct of myomectomy for fibroid in several teaching hospitals and private health centres across the nation. The challenges encountered include the ongoing brain drain, high cost and lack of some modern medicine for management of transplants, lack of state of art medical equipment, high cost of treatment and care for most Nigerians with diverse conditions and a preference for medical care and treatment abroad by the elites. There is urgent need for government to partner with private individuals including the diaspora community and foreign nationals who are willing to invest into healthcare in Nigeria to scale up efforts needed for medical industrialization in the country. The government need to take proactive measures to convert brain drain to brain gain through appropriate policies, stakeholder engagement, incentives and strong marketing of the successes made in the country which is aimed to promote local contents in the country. A strong political will expressed as government adequate investment into health and subsidy of these procedures for indigent Nigerians will help to bring about the desired medical industrialization in the country.

 Abstract

The contaminated soil with heavy metals has become concern for agricultural scientists because of the progress made in agricultural product safety. Heavy metals are metalloids with the biological toxicity. The most common are arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, lead and zinc. These metals exist throughout the terrestrial environment and produced from the anthropogenic and natural activities. Recently, landfills have been reported as persecutor to soil contamination, but still, there is not promising way proposed for the waste disposal management in some developing countries. This is a biggest threat to the soil, crops, and the communities living around the dumpsites. Soil polluted with heavy metals result in the human health risks, groundwater pollution, plant phytotoxicity and decline in crop and soil production. The absorption of heavy metals through plant roots is major pathway in which heavy metals penetrate the food chain and their successive crowding along the food chain is a critical threat to the animal and human health. The previous findings reported that soil, vegetables, and other food crops around dumpsites are contaminated with the heavy metals. Therefore, there is an urgent need for continuous monitoring of the heavy metals in different open dumpsites. The necessary measures to reduce the high concentration of the heavy metals in the soil and crops should be put in place. This paper aimed to review harmful impacts of heavy metals contamination to soil and crops grown in vicinity of the dumpsites, but also several techniques treating heavy metals pollution in the soil were discussed in this review.

 Abstract

In the discipline of Natural Language Processing (NLP), sentiment analysis is an essential task that involves evaluating and analysing user opinion data on a given subject. Many deep learning models, including the recently announced Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model, have been created to tacklethis difficulty. For the sentiment analysis task, we use datasets of Vietnamese reviews to test two BERT fine-tuning strategies in this study: Two methods are available: 1) one that feeds the [CLS] token alone into an associated feed-forward neural network; 2) another that uses all BERT output vectors as the input for classification. Experimental results on two datasets show that models utilising BERT perform models utilising Glove and Fast Text by a small margin

 Abstract

Despite the high mortality and financial burden associated with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in Nigeria, gaps still exist on the epidemiology and management of this non-communicable disease in the country. This study sought to estimate the prevalence of CKD and its distribution in Nigeria using a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of community-based studies that were conducted across the six geopolitical zones of the country. The study employed global best standards and practices in conducting systematic review and meta-analysis. This involved drafting and registration of the work into PROSPERO which was which was reviewed and assigned the registration number: CRD42023441374; adherence to acceptable research philosophies, and use of the PRISMA Framework for identification, screening and selection of quality studies included in the review. The PECO question was raised to guide the study and search for key words while Zotero software was used to manage information that was transferred to Excel sheet (data extraction) before data analysis was done with Medcal Software version 20.009. A total of ten (10) studies that meet the inclusion criteria set in the protocol were used for the meta-regression. Seven thousand and ten (7,010) individuals formed the sample size for the study from the 10 selected articles across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Test for heterogeneity was conducted using the Cochrane's Q while test for publication bias was conducted using the Begg's test. Result showed that there was significant heterogeneity among the studies across the six geopolitical zones of the nation (P = 0.0001) despite low publication bias noted among the studies (P = 0.8510). This informed the use of the random effect model for the estimation of the pooled prevalence of CKD in Nigeria. The prevalence of CKD in Nigeria was found to be 15.432% (95% CI: 12.291% to 18.860%) which translates to 17,811,828 (95% CI: 14,186,442 to 21,768,473) Nigerians living with the condition. There is therefore an urgent need to scale up public health efforts such as health education and awareness creation against risk factors of the disease, health system strengthening, and innovations needed to manage the high burden of CKD in Nigeria.
