Nanozyme based ultra-stretchable, low-hysteresis, and dual-mode antibacterial composite hydrogels for wound healing by Yanyan Li, Weiqi Kang, Jian Zhang, Ping Shi, Jianshu Li, Yongping Lu

“…Wound care always presents challenges as they are susceptible to bacterial infections and have mechanical compatibility issues with wound dressings, leading to a delayed recovery of the structure and functional integrity of skin tissue. Herein, an iron-based metal-organic framework loaded with gold (Fe-MIL-88NH2-Au) nanozyme based composite hydrogel (HMAux) with excellent mechanical compatibility and dual-mode antibacterial properties was designed for wound care. …”

Comparative Analysis of Performance of Lemon Peel Powder and its Ash as Natural Coagulants in the Treatment of Surface Water. by Nuwaribagye, Isaiah

“…Coagulation and flocculation processes are the most widely used processes to separate suspended solid portions from water(P.N.Bllie, 2014). Aluminum and iron salts are the two most used chemical coagulants in wastewater treatment processes; however, these coagulants release harmful substances into the environment which have a detrimental effect on human health (H.D.Beyene, 2016). …”

Security Challenges: Appraisal of Threats to Nigeria’s Sovereignty in the Fourth Republic (1999-2019) by Olanrewaju Rafiu Memud, Solomon A. Ojo

“…In the recent past, insecurity has been the greatest challenge to Nigeria‟s corporate existence as a sovereign state.Ironically, these challenges are not externally propelled rather, they areinternally impelled byinter-ethnic conflict, religious insurrection, electoral violence, banditry, kidnapping, ritualism, pipeline vandalism, separatists‟ agitation, and farmers[1]herders crises among many others.These generate insecurity in the polity to the boiling point of fractured and failed state.The objective of the study, therefore, is to investigate the nexus between internally induced insecurity and failed stateposture experienced in the Nigeria‟s Fourth Republic. …”
