“…Most of the participants complained of undesired effects like disruption of menstruation where they had either amenorrhea, spotting or heavy bleeding episodes. This is consistent with a study in Bangladesh that found a greater proportion of the women had experienced menstrual disorder [23]. This included prolonged or heavy bleeding as well as spotting.…”

Jadelle; myths associated with Jadelle; attitudes of providers of Jadelle and role played by men regarding use of Jadelle [6]. Furthermore, since 1975, family planning services have been free of charge and available in all public health sectors in The Gambia. According to The Gambia Demographic and Health Survey, the contraceptive prevalence is very low, that only 9% of currently married women use a contraceptive method of any kind, 8% use a modern method and Implant utilization rate is 3.9% [7]. Anyawu and Alida revealed that implant was the second most commonly used long acting and reversible contraception (LARC) method (43.3%) among study participants in the Gambia [8]. There is limited data in sources of information about Jadelle; information given to Jadelle users by providers; benefits of Jadelle; challenges associated with The Gambia on perception and acceptance on implant despite established knowledge of availability at little or no cost in most health

“…The literacy level of the respondents might have contributed to the relatively small household size. Education has been reported as one of the key determinants of the awareness and use of family planning measures (Babalola, Babalola & Oladimeji, 2012). Information on demographic patterns in Nigeria also shows that urban households are usually smaller than rural households (Statista Research Department, 2021).…”

This work studies fish consumption among households in Lagos State. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 400 households from Lagos Island, Eti Osa, Surulere, Shomolu, Kosofe and Oshodi/Isolo Local Government Areas. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data needed for the study. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (multinomial logit model). The result indicated that the study area had more male-headed households (52.5%). The average monthly expenditure on fish by household was ₦3,640. The result of the descriptive statistics further shows that a large number of consumers had a preference for fresh fish (60.7%) and smoked fish (54.7%). The result of the multinomial result shows that Education, Age, mode of income, Gender and Household income were among the significant factors influencing households’ preference for the form of fish consumed. The study recommends the improvement of the market for fish by creating value through packaging processing and storage and better storage facilities are pertinent. This can be achieved by government provision of steady power supply and agro-processing industries which must be linked to production for household consumption.

“…Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is an important dietary food globally and plays a crucial role in the vegetable industry, both on an industrial and agricultural level (Babalola and Agbola, 2008). It is commonly used as a fresh vegetable in salads, as a culinary spice for long-term use in ketchup and juices, and as an ingredient in numerous dishes.…”

Bacterial spot of tomato is a major constraint to tomato production in tropical, subtropical, and temperate climates, leading to significant crop losses. The current study aimed to manage the highly devastating disease bacterial spot of tomato, caused by Xanthomonas perforans, using green silver nanoparticles based on Berberis vulgaris plant extract. Disease parameters, namely disease prevalence and disease incidence, were calculated from tomato growing areas of district Poonch, AJK, to document the current status of bacterial spot disease on local tomato cultivars. The associated pathogenic strains were purified, and virulence study was conducted on healthy tomato seedlings followed by characterization using morphological, biochemical, and molecular analysis. B. vulgaris plant extract was used for the preparation of green silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and three different concentrations were prepared (0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6%). For texture and molecular composition study, characterization of green AgNPs was done using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Green silver nanoparticles were then evaluated using the inhibition zone technique in the lab, and it was found that the maximum inhibition zone of 24.32 mm was observed at a 0.6% concentration. Similarly, in the greenhouse experiment, the minimum disease incidence was recorded in the treatment with a 0.6% concentration of green AgNPs. The results of the current study showed a significant reduction in disease incidence while using green silver nanoparticles against bacterial spot of tomato
