The study investigated credit risk management and deposit money bank performance
in Nigeria utilizing panel data from ten (10) conveniently sampled deposit money banks for a
period of 5 years (2014 to 2018). The rationale for the present study is predicated on the fact
that risk is a critical consideration for every decision of deposit money banks and also a
major determinant of their performance. The study employed the Ordinary Least Squares techniques on variables such as
loans and advances (LAA), non-performing loans (NPL), capital adequacy ratio (CAR) and
return on assets (ROA). The study showed evidence that loans and advances (LAA) and
capital adequacy ratio (CAR) had a positive and statistically significant relationship with the
performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria, while non-performing loans (NPL) had a
negative and statistically insignificant relationship with the performance of deposit money
banks in Nigeria. The study recommends among others that, management needs to be cautious in
setting up a credit policy that will not negatively affect the operations of their banks in order
to ensure judicious utilization of deposits and maximization of profit. Also, the study
recommends that Nigerian Government need to ensure adequate energy facilities should be
embraced in the different sectors of the Nigerian economy as well as promoting energy- efficient products and appropriate practices at the side of the end users and energy
generation. Furthermore, CBN for policy making purpose should regularly assess the lending
attitudes of deposit money banks and effective cash management policies to avoid insolvency
in the financial system. Also, to increase credit volume, the interest rate policy must be
considered within the frame of economic circumstances of the time for low interest rate does
facilitate quick repayment and drastically minimize debt failure. Finally, determining the
credit worthiness of a customer whether individual or corporate organization must be
carefully planned. A rush into the approval of loan without sourcing adequate and relevant
information on the prospective borrowers must be avoided if the bank wishes to circumvent
delays in the recovery of debt.

This report details the design, fabrication, and testing of a solar-powered ice cooling air conditioning system that utilizes a unique ice-based air conditioning cycle for sustainable cooling. The system harnesses solar energy to power a DC battery, which drives a pump to circulate cold water. This cold water is produced by melting ice stored in a container atop the system, with the volume of water carefully calculated to ensure sufficient cooling capacity. The chilled water is then directed to extractor fins, where it absorbs heat from the surrounding air, significantly reducing the temperature. The system's design prioritizes efficiency and environmental sustainability, promoting a cost-effective and eco-friendly approach to climate control.

A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing questionnaires distributed to 70 students and 30 teachers across five secondary schools. The findings reveal a significant awareness and appreciation of feminist language among both students and teachers, with many recognizing its importance in promoting gender equality and enhancing student engagement. However, challenges such as institutional resistance and a lack of resources were identified as barriers to effective integration. The study concludes that feminist-informed education has the potential to empower students and foster inclusive learning environments, and it offers recommendations for enhancing the integration of feminist perspectives within educational curricula.

Pediatric ocular trauma is a significant public health concern, with potential long-term consequences on vision and quality of life. This study was aimed at investigating the severity and management of pediatric ocular injuries in Sapele, Delta State. A retrospective study was carried out to analyze the clinical record of pediatric patients that presented to Central Hospital within January 1st, 2020 to October 1st, 2024. A total of 223 patients, males 139 (62.3%) and females 84 (37.7%), were found to have pediatric ocular injury with a mean age of 11.46 ± 4.7. The moscommon type of injury sustained was the closed globe injury (76.1%) followed by open globe injury (6.7%) while thermal injury (1.8%) was the least frequently seen. Injuries were found to be caused by physical assault (14.4%), broomsticks (6.3%) and even self-inflicted (5.3%). The cornea was the most affected structure (57.4%) by pediatric ocular injury. An initial visual acuityof 6/6 was recorded (22.6%) for a good percentage of the patients that were compliant. Therewas a statistically significant relationship between the initial visual acuity and the cause of injury(p<0.05). Majority of pediatric ocular injuries (87.9%) that presented to the hospital wermanaged medically. Corneal ulcer was the most common (n=77) diagnosis of pediatric patientsthat visited the hospital and it took an average of one week to heal. More than half of thepediatric patients had mild injuries (57.8%). Chi-square test was used to determine if there wassignificant relationship between the severity of injury and initial visual acuity. The result gave p<0.05 showing that there was a statistically significant relationship. 49 eyes (22.0%) of the

Intellectual property rights (IPR) refers to the ideas, inventions, and creative expressions based on which there is a public willingness to bestow the status of property. IPR provide certain exclusive rights to the inventors or creators of that property, in order to enable them to reap commercial benefits from their creative efforts or reputation. There are several types of intellectual property protection like patent, copyright, trademark, etc. Patent is recognition for an invention, which satisfies the criteria of global novelty, non- obviousness, and industrial application. IPR is prerequisite for better identification, planning, commercialization, rendering, and thereby protection of invention or creativity. Each industry should evolve its own IPR policies, management style, strategies, and so on depending on its area of specialty. Pharmaceutical industry currently has an evolving IPR strategy requiring a better focus and approach in the coming era. This work will focus on The Role of Intellectual Property in the Pharmaceutical Industry, critically examining how it has been structured to protect investments, time, money, effort invested by the inventor/creator of an IP, since it grants the inventor/ creator an exclusive right for a certain period of time for use of his invention/creation. Thus IPR, in this way aids the economic development of a country by promoting healthy competition and encouraging industrial development and economic growth. In conducting this research, the researcher will employ the doctrinal research method. This method was considered appropriate because it explains the law through primary internal evidence offered by case law, statutes, and materials derived from both primary and secondary sources.
