It is very important to determine and eliminate the prejudices of nurse candidates about AIDS disease, which has not been successful in its treatment yet, in the fight against AIDS disease. The aim is the determination of the prejudices of the nursing department students of the faculty of health sciences of a state university about AIDS disease. This investigation was held between 1 - 31 May 2019. Sample; 163 girls (79.5%), 42 boys (20.5%), a total of 205 students. The average age of the participants is 21.00 ± 1.76 (Min18 - Max26). The analysis of the data collected with the questionnaire was carried out in the SPSS - 21 program. Frequency and descriptive statistical analysis techniques were used for descriptive analysis. The relationship between propositions and variables was determined using the Chi-square test. Most of the students stated that they would not refrain from treating a patient with AIDS disease, if a person is tested for HIV (+), there will be no change in his behavior towards the patient and they will take special precautions while providing health care to a patient with AIDS. 39.1% of the students stated that they would volunteer to follow a patient with AIDS. In this investigation; the relationship between participation in the statements and gender, age and class variables was determined (p

Citrullus lanatus (CL) have been used in many areas for centuries throughout the world. The study was investigated the effects of CL on the longevity of Drosophila melanogaster Meigen. The effects of different rates of CL (0.5-10% medium) were determined to female and male populations of insect for controls and CL groups. The findings demonstrated that the seed of CL as a source for natural waste product have potential uses for insect feeding.

The solid waste management (SWM) sector is responsible for about 5% of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. In countries like Nigeria with inefficient SWM systems, this figure is much higher, this reinforces the need to find suitable eco-friendlier SWM practices so as to reduce the carbon footprint from this sector. This study assessed the role composting can play in reducing GHG emissions from the SWM sector in the north-eastern states of Nigeria. Data regarding SWM practices for each of the six states in the region was obtained from literature, Upstream-operating-downstream carbon footprint assessment framework was used to ascertain the potential reduction in GHG emissions that can be obtained by composting. It was found that disposing of waste in landfills and dumpsites is the prevalent SWM technique in the region and that it is responsible for emission of 232,505.18tCO2eq annually. However, if composting is adopted as a preferred SWM technique, a 52% net reduction of GHGs emission can be attained. The study concluded by suggesting that other SWM techniques should be studied so as to see if any of them is a better alternative to composting.

It is observed by several authors (Uyanga 1985; Norris 2016; Uwadiegwu & Iyi 2015; Ajaps, S., & McLellan 2015; Ebhote & Odia 2020) that there is a lacuna in teaching Environmental Education in the Nigerian schools. This is because the curriculum neglects the developmental aspect of sustainable development. If this is allowed to continue, then Education for sustainable development becomes unilateral. Education should be aimed at empowering learners with the ability and desire to work towards realizing sustainable development, both locally and globally. This includes the awareness and knowledge about the environmental development (Cognitive); develop willingness, desirable attitude, feelings and values required (Affective); also to act with the essential competence and skills (Action-oriented). Hence there is a need to incorporate social, political, and economic aspects that should be considered together within the existing curriculum. It is in the whims of teachers to develop a positive attitude towards ESD and also integrate ESD meaningfully into the existing curriculum.

The scriptures and the early Church all pronounced upon women in almost exclusively masculine voice. Aristotelian philosophy deemed a woman to be 'inferior man' and this was corroborated by the interpretation of the creation of Eve as 'posterior et inferior' (last and lesser). Even in Medieval Europe there was a debate in which male writes attacked and defended women; the humanist writers of the Renaissance also showed the same trend. Ecofeminism is a twin concept encompassing both ecology and feminism. It is justified by saying that ecology or environment is closely associated with the female. The primary belief of ecofeminism is that the supremacy over women parallels the suppression of nature and that this mutual domination has led to environmental destruction by the controlling patriarchal society. This philosophy is based on the principle that there is a vital connection between the oppression of nature and women. Hence understanding these connections is necessary to understanding the two veins of oppression. Feminist theory must include an ecological perspective, and ecological problems must include a feminist perspective. Eco-feminists further argue that an environmental philosophy that fails to attend to these important links will be theoretically and practically deficient. The objective of the research is to explicate and examine with critically the objective of Ecofeminism. Ecofeminism is a twin concept of both ecology and feminine and as such being a forceful approach in environmental deserves considerable attention to modern environmentalists.
