Abstract: This study aimed to determine the relationship between waste management administration and environmental sustainability in Lagos, Nigeria. Although waste production is an inevitable byproduct of human activity, sustainable refuse management remains challenging in many nations today. With this idea in mind, we conducted this investigation. According to previous research, several states lack the necessary planning and infrastructure to efficiently and sustainably manage municipal solid waste. The research population comprised 700 waste administrators in the Ikeja Local Government Area; 250 were chosen using the Yamen sample technique. However, 233 of the 250 distributed questionnaires were retrieved. In order to determine the ANOVA and coefficient results, linear regression (at a significance level of 5% or 0.05) was utilized. The results revealed a negative correlation between waste management agency operations and environmental sustainability, as well as between waste disposal, waste separation, and environmental cleanliness. Furthermore, a negative correlation between waste recycling and pollution control was discovered. Therefore, it is suggested that effective collection techniques, sufficient system coverage, proper waste disposal, institutional coordination, adequate financial resources, enforceable regulations and standards, and appropriate technology be implemented.

Keywords: Environmental sustainability, Waste Management, Waste Disposal, Waste Recycling, Waste Separation, Pollution Control, and Environmental cleanliness.

Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of media on occult beliefs and explores its ethical, psychological, and sociological implications. It provides a comprehensive analysis of how different media platforms depict and interpret occult practices, and examines the relationship between media consumption and the adoption of occult beliefs. Through case studies and examples, it illustrates the influence of media on shaping and reinforcing occult beliefs. Additionally, the paper discusses the cultural implications and ethical considerations of media representations of occult beliefs. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of media in influencing belief systems and suggest future research directions.

Keywords: Occult Beliefs, Media Representation, Media Consumption, Psychological Perspectives, Sociological Perspectives.

Abstract: The study examined Field Trip and Demonstration Instructional Strategies on Students Performance in Biology in Calabar South Local Area of Cross River State. Three specific objectives, three research questions and three research hypotheses were postulated to guide the study. The study adopted quasi-experimental research design specifically pre-test post-test design. The population of the study comprises all the 610 SS1 Biology Students in all the nine (9) Public Secondary Schools in Calabar South Local Government Area of Cross River State. Simple Random Sampling was adopted to select two schools in Calabar South Local Government Area of Cross River State. One school was assigned field trip method while the other school was assigned demonstration method using intact class settings. A sample size of 90 Senior Secondary One Biology Students drawn from four intact classes was used in the study. Two public secondary schools in Calabar South were randomly sampled using cap and draw method and all the two schools participated in the study. In the two schools, 48 were exposed to field trip teaching method while 42 were exposed to demonstration teaching method. Instructional (treatment) package on Pollution and Biology Performance Test (BPT) were used as instruments for the study. The instrument validity and reliability were determined. Kuder Richardson Formula-21 was used to determine the internal consistency for Biology Performance Test (BPT) which yielded a reliability coefficient index of 0.84. Mean and standard deviation were used in answering the research questions while analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA) was used for testing hypotheses at .05 level of significance. The study revealed no significant difference in the mean achievement scores of students taught Biology using Field trip and those taught with Demonstration method. There is no significant difference in the mean achievement scores of male and female students taught Biology using Field trip. There is no significant difference in the mean achievement scores of male and female students taught Biology using Demonstration method. The researcher recommends among other things that teachers should be encouraged in adopting diverse teaching strategies that will help improve the achievement of students in biology.

Keywords: Fieldtrip, Demonstration, Instructional Strategy, Students’ performance.

Abstract: The soils were analyzed to access the effect of soil microbial biomass on the growth of fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis) in the remediation of crude oil polluted soils of Bayelsa State. Two (2) locations, Imiringi in Ogbia Local Government Area with latitudes 4. 8519 N and longitudes 6.3745 E and Koloama in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area with latitudes 4.582222 N and longitudes 6.064722 E, were selected for this research. Soil samples were collected at a depth of 0 – 30 cm, bulked for pot experiment in the screen house. Five (5) kilograms of soil were weighed into twenty-four (24) plastic buckets of seven (7) liters each for Imiringi and Koloama, making a total of forty-eight (48) plastic buckets used. The experimental design was a 2 x 8 factorial experiment laid out in a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) replicated three times. Results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis of variance using the Tukey’s Test to separate means of significant difference at 5 % probability level. The amendment materials used were organic manures [cow dung (CD) and poultry dropping (PD)] inorganic fertilizer (NPK) and their combinations (CD + PD, PD + NPK, NPK + CD and CD + PD + NPK). The study revealed the relationship between soil microbial biomass and growth of the plant (Telfairia occidentalis) in Imiringi and Koloama, on application of the amendments (treatments) with the release of the essential element – Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorus to the plant, showing that both are significantly different with few variations on the plant growth parameters (vine length, girth and number of branches) at different times (4 WAP, 8 WAP and 12 WAP), indicating the effectiveness of the application of these amendment materials.

Abstract: Pithecellobium dulce is a medium-sized, evergreen tree with tremendous nutritional value; each portion of the plant is packed with important vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. P. dulce's fruits have long been employed in Ayurvedic medicine and folk cures. The plant also contains biologically active mixtures like tannin, olein, and glycosides. From the plant's different necks, 38 functional phytocompounds such as quercetin, kaempferol, and dulcitol were linked. The bark of this plant contains catechol tannins. Polyphenols are phytocompounds that have their own factory and have a lot of catholicon activity. Their fruits are high in phenols, flavonoids, and saponins, which have been linked to the treatment of diabetes, oxidative stress, and gastrointestinal problems, as well as anticonvulsant and cardioprotective properties, anti-ulcerogenic, anti-proliferative the antibacterial, antifungal, and adulticidal properties of the plant flake and seed are all present. As a result, the current study focuses on exploiting medicinal parcels of P. dulce as well as its biological operations in remedial development.
