The indirect effect of artificial intelligence awareness on counterproductive work behavior: A meta-analytic study

BackgroundAs artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into the workplace, an important question concerns how employees respond when technological change is perceived as threatening rather than beneficial. Prior studies have examined several mechanisms linking...

Cross-model metabolomic signatures of dietary anti-inflammatory (poly) phenols in nutraceutical development: a systematic review

Dietary (poly) phenols play a key role in nutraceutical development, due to their diverse positive health benefits such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Although these bioactivities have been widely reported, the consistency of metabolomic signatures in experiment...

Exogenous melatonin and photoperiodic regulation of melatonin membrane receptors, steroidogenesis and testicular histomorphology in sexually mature guinea fowl (Numida meleagris)

Seasonal reproduction in birds is regulated by photoperiod and melatonin through receptor-mediated signaling. However, their combined effects on testicular steroidogenic pathways, melatonin receptor expression and antioxidant defence-related gene expression remain poorly understo...

Thermo-mechanically driven dynamic recovery and residual stress relaxation in high-efficiency deep grinding of single-crystal superalloys

High-efficiency deep grinding (HEDG) is an important process for machining single-crystal superalloy turbine blades, whereas the severe thermo-mechanical coupling and ultrahigh strain rates involved make the evolution of subsurface residual stress difficult to predict accurately....

From Risk Assessment to Procurement Decision: A Systematic Review in Construction

Risk management and procurement are established fields in construction research, but the decision chain connecting them has not been examined as an object in itself. This review asked whether exposure identified by risk analysis reaches the sourcing decision, whether that decisio...

Computational and Data‐Driven Strategies for Lignocellulosic Biomass Valorization: From Multiscale Modeling to Digitalized Biorefinery Design

ABSTRACT Lignocellulosic biomass is a major renewable carbon resource for sustainable production of fuels, chemicals, and functional materials. Yet its valorization remains constrained by structural recalcitrance, feedstock heterogeneity, and the coupling of molecular and process...

Dual streaming potential effects on EMHD mixed convective nanofluid flow with viscous dissipation and Joule heating

This study presents an analytical investigation of electroosmotic magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) mixed convection flow of nanofluids in a vertical microchannel, incorporating viscous dissipation, Joule heating, and a dual streaming potential formulation. The model is relevant to biof...

Epidemiology of the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) in West Africa: a systematic review

Background Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) represents the most severe form of chronic viral hepatitis yet remains neglected in resource-limited settings. West Africa, with high hepatitis B virus (HBV) endemicity and unique sociocultural risk factors, represents a critical region for...

A Policy Framework for Building a Sustainable Research Culture in Emerging Universities: A Conceptual Review

The sustainability of university research systems remains a persistent challenge for emerging and private universities, particularly in developing regions. While research is widely acknowledged as central to innovation, institutional credibility, and societal relevance, many univ...

Records preservation in medieval Europe

This assignment examines records Preservation in medieval Europe.it discusses the presentation of records during the medieval period including the use of parchment, the role of monasteries and churches, legal and property records, preservation methods, medieval archives and chall...

Optimizing advanced microthermal systems: Synergistic effects of dual streaming potentials and induced magnetic fields in EMHD-driven hybrid flows

This paper presents a comprehensive analytical investigation of electroosmotic magnetohydrodynamic (EOF-MHD) mixed convection flow of Cu/water, SnO 2 /water, and SiO 2 /water nanofluids in a porous vertical microchannel, incorporating viscous dissipation, Joule heating, wall suct...

Coordinated resistance–virulence organization across urban microbiomes reveals context-dependent ecological structuring

Microbial communities in built environments are shaped by functional traits associated with persistence, ecological interaction, and pathogenic potential. While antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes and virulence factors (VFs) are typically studied independently, their coordinated...

Safety first, science second: Healthcare workers' conditional trust and willingness to participate in Lassa fever vaccine trials in Nigeria

Background Lassa fever poses a persistent occupational risk to healthcare workers (HCWs) in Nigeria. While HCWs are pivotal to vaccine trial success, their decision-making in settings shaped by historical research controversies remains poorly understood. This study explored the c...

Correlation of Nutritional Status and Blood Pressure of Apparently Healthy Primary School Pupils Aged 6–12 years in Zaria Local Government Area of Kaduna State

Anthropometric indices have become practical tools for evaluating the nutritional status of populations. Understanding the nutritional status of children has far-reaching implications for promoting the health of future generations. The necessity for routine blood pressure screeni...

Geospatial Analysis of Traditional Medicine Utilization in Post Covid-19 Nigeria: Patterns, Determinants, and Policy Implications

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered healthcare-seeking behaviour across the globe, leading to renewed reliance on traditional medicine, particularly in developing countries where access to conventional healthcare was disrupted. In Nigeria, traditional medicine became an i...

Motion in the ER3BP Under a Heterogeneous Triaxial Primary and a Modified Newtonian Force of the Secondary

This paper investigates the dynamical behaviour of an infinitesimal mass body moving under the gravitational influence of a heterogeneous triaxial primary body and a secondary body that produces a modified Newtonian gravitational force in the elliptic restricted three-body proble...

Fiscal Policy Instruments and Industrial Sector Performance in Nigeria, 2015–2025

This study examines the relationship between four fiscal policy instruments, government expenditure, tax revenue, public debt, and fiscal deficit, and the performance of Nigeria's industrial sector between 2015 and 2025, a period spanning a recession, a pandemic shock, and a majo...

Reason For Using Frequency And Percentage To Analyse Categorical Data

Data analysis in social science and information management research depends heavily on matching statistical techniques with the correct level of variable measurement. Categorical data, comprising nominal and ordinal scales such as demographic profiles, information access levels,...

Analysis of Women Journalists’ Roles in Daily Trust, Leadership, The Nation and The Guardian Newspaper Organisations in Nigeria

Studies have shown that journalism has been a male-dominated profession since inception. And just like in political, economic and social life, women, as argued by scholars, continued to be relegated in journalism practice despite a significant increase in the enrolment of female...

Enhancing disease surveillance in Nigeria through machine learning: opportunities, challenges and strategic recommendations

Abstract Disease surveillance is fundamental to public health, enabling timely outbreak detection, efficient resource allocation, and evidence-based policymaking. In Nigeria, the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) framework, while structured, is hampered by incon...
