ABSTRACT: Subarachnoid haemorrhage resulting from intracranial aneurysms (IAs) represents the third most prevalent acute cerebrovascular disease with high mortality and disability rates, following ischaemic stroke and hypertensive intracerebral haemorrhage. Cerebral aneurysms pose a significant threat to public health in China, imposing substantial economic burdens on families and society. Current treatment modalities predominantly include surgical clipping and endovascular intervention, with the latter emerging as the primary therapeutic approach. Studies indicate that standalone coil embolisation is associated with a slightly higher postoperative recurrence rate compared to stent-assisted coiling, largely due to incomplete endothelial coverage at the aneurysm neck. To enhance endothelialisation at the aneurysm neck and mitigate risks of rupture and recanalisation, recent research has focused on applying advanced coating materials to bare metal stents, aiming to promote neointimal formation at the diseased arterial segment. This article provides a retrospective analysis of the efficacy of various stent coating materials in facilitating postoperative endothelialisation at the aneurysm neck.

ABSTRACT: The sudden emergence of COVID-19 in 2020 revealed a new aspect of face masks. From a medical supply to an essential preventive measure, face mask has marked their era. Face mask usage patterns and practices are determined by the mask perception of an individual. Various research studies have highlighted the influence of age group, gender, and location on these perceptions. Mask resistance is prevalent among the general public even after the tragic waves of COVID-19. It becomes important to understand the barriers and motivating factors of face mask usage during the pandemic as it provides reliable justification for mask resistance. The present paper is an attempt to highlight various factors that affect the usage of the facemask to deal with the pandemic during the pandemic and in the post-pandemic (so-called ‘New Normal’ era). Even as the pandemic moves into an endemic phase, it is still important to wear masks, particularly in environments where vulnerable populations like the elderly and those with weakened immune systems are present. Face mask, the new skill of living, requires mandatory adoption to work efficiently in the post-pandemic era or new normal. New normal signifies regular adoption of all necessary preventive measures to step forward in the pandemic times. The present research has implications for the adoption of preventive strategies during the new normal phase.

ABSTRACT: Nigerian rural women face particular opportunities and problems due to the interaction of gender and agriculture. Through a human rights-based perspective, this study investigates how creative art might be used as a tool to combat gender inequality and empower women. A thorough conceptual model, a variety of methodological tools, and theoretical foundations are all included in the enlarged framework. The study examines how well artistic interventions work to raise awareness, improve skills, and advance gender parity using data gathered from Nigerian rural communities. The results of the statistical analysis, which was carried out using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), show that women's involvement in agricultural decision-making and revenue creation has significantly improved. Rural women's voices are amplified through creative art, which includes visual arts, performance, and storytelling, which depicts their goals, challenges, and lived experiences. This strategy encourages discussion and group action for change in addition to increasing awareness of gender inequality by including the community in participatory art projects. This study looks at how artistic expression can inspire grassroots initiatives that support women's rights and empowerment, challenge gender conventions, and overcome cultural and socioeconomic boundaries. The report also identifies important factors that contribute to empowerment, providing practical advice for putting policies into practice.

ABSTRACT: The study was on the adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Practices among Cocoa Farmers in Owo Local Government Area, Ondo State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study aimed at ascertain the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents in the study area, assess the level of awareness of integrated pest management practices available to the respondents and evaluate the effectiveness of agricultural extension services in information dissemination of Integrated Pest Management practices. Primary data were collected by administering a wellstructured questionnaire consisting of closed and open-ended questions. Multistage sampling was employed in the study for the selection of 100 cocoa farmers in the study area. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that majority (84%) of the farmers were male, the mean age of the respondents was 47 years with an average household size of 7 members. The major educational qualification of the respondents was secondary school (47%). Ninety-four percent of the respondents practiced Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and 89% have access to extension services also affirmed that IPM techniques are part of the services rendered by the extension workers, out of which 78% implemented one of more of the techniques recommended by the extension workers in the study area. The most significant impact of extension services was felt in the area of improved collaboration and networking (𝑥̅=2.03.) and increase in the utilization of biological and traditional methods of pests control (𝑥̅=1.96.) The study recommends that government and agricultural agencies should establish comprehensive training programs focusing on simplifying IPM practices and providing hands-on training. Also, provision of affordable credit facilities and subsidies to cocoa farmers to alleviate the high cost of implementing IPM practices.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the creation of an eco-friendly and reasonably priced tie-dye system specifically for Nigerian small business owners. The study looks into economical material sourcing, ecologically friendly procedures, and sustainable dying methods. Because of the use of synthetic dyes and high water use, the textile sector is said to be a major contributor to environmental degradation. In order to promote sustainability and lower the health hazards linked with harmful chemicals, it is imperative that eco-friendly alternatives be used. Both qualitative and quantitative research approaches are used in this study to evaluate the suggested tie-dye techniques' environmental impact and economic viability. The report also highlights how crucial consumer education is to raising demand for eco-friendly textiles. While ANOVA identifies substantial differences in the environmental impact between conventional and eco-friendly processes, SPSS data analysis indicates important cost reductions, reduced environmental footprints, and enhanced market potential for sustainable textile products. The results highlight the necessity of a comprehensive strategy that includes government regulations, educational initiatives, and financial rewards to encourage the use of environmentally friendly dyeing techniques. This strategy also offers insightful information to researchers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers about how to support sustainable textile production and guarantee the financial stability of Nigerian small-scale craftspeople. According to the study's findings, small business owners can successfully adopt sustainable tie-dye techniques, increasing their output and promoting a greener economy, provided they receive the necessary assistance and education.

ABSTRACT: Multiple variations of the collinearity model have been implemented for spaceborne SPOT and Airborne ASAS imagery. The SPOT model showed better computational stability and achieved sub-pixel misclosures, in some cases at checkpoints. The linear-phi parameter, excluded from some earlier SPOT models, indicated significance and achieved improved performance. A model for airborne ASAS with 15 parameters achieved subpixel accuracy at GCPs only. A model utilising higher order polynomials as additional parameters in the airborne model works well but does not render improved performance. INS measurements at 1Hz showed poor results, proving to be inadequate for the imaging frame rate of 40 frames per second. With increasing GCP coverage, misclosures at GCPs (internal accuracy) approach those at ties points (external accuracy).
