Early-Life Minocycline Exposure Produces Sustained Redox Modulation but Persistent Locomotor Deficits in Drosophila melanogaster

1. Minocycline has shown therapeutic potential in neurodegeneration and ageing, but the effects of exposure during development remain poorly understood. This study investigated whether minocycline exposure restricted to development alters redox status and locomotor function in ad...

Who wants to Japa, why and where? Developmental idealism, migration aspirations, and destination choice among Nigerian youth

This study investigates how young Nigerians evaluate development and how such evaluations relate to migration intentions and destination preferences. Although economic hardship, unemployment, and other structural constraints are important drivers of migration aspirations, they do...

Building a Healthy Mind: Factors Impacting Mental Health of Construction Workers

Mental health disorders are increasingly prevalent among construction workers, a group significantly affected by the physically demanding and hazardous nature of their work. While existing studies have examined mental health challenges in construction globally, empirical studies...

Who Is on the Wire? Identity Architecture Across the IT/OT Boundary

Most recent intrusions into industrial operations walked in through an identity nobody was managing, not a novel exploit. This practitioner feature article explains why identity behaves differently in operational technology (OT), where it breaks between enterprise IT and industri...

Early insights into predicted efficacy of Ebola monoclonal antibodies for the 2026 Bundibugyo virus disease outbreak

The 2026 Bundibugyo virus disease (BVD) outbreak in the DRC and Uganda raises urgent questions about the efficacy of existing Ebola virus (EBOV) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against Bundibugyo virus (BDBV). Here, we perform genomic and structural analyses of 44 BDBV sequences, in...

Spatial variability and meteorological associations of pm₂.₅ and pm₁₀ across paved and unpaved roads in Abeokuta, Nigeria

Urban Particulate Matter (PM) in rapidly expanding tropical cities is strongly associated with boundary-layer processes, surface characteristics, and mechanical resuspension mechanisms. Understanding the spatial behavior of fine (PM₂.₅) and coarse (PM₁₀) aerosols across contrasti...

Leveraging artificial intelligence through neural network error residuals for advanced fault detection and classification in photovoltaic systems

Faults undetected in photovoltaic (PV) installations lead to wasted energy, system failures, and damage to solar modules. To mitigate these risks, intelligent and robust fault-detection algorithms are essential for PV solar energy systems. This study introduces an artificial inte...

ABO blood groups and hemorrhagic stroke: no overall association but ethnicity-specific protective effects

Abstract Background The ABO blood group system influences hemostatic factors, including von Willebrand factor and factor VIII, and has been implicated in thrombotic disorders. However, its role in hemorrhagic stroke remains uncertain. Objective To systematically evaluate the asso...

Machine learning analysis of COVID-19 transmission dynamics demographic risk and contact tracing outcomes in Nigeria

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges to developing countries like Nigeria due to limited resources. Accurate prediction of disease spread is crucial for effective containment measures. This study investigates the application of statistical and machine l...
