Hydrogen is used as a source of renewable or non-renewable fuel for various applications including fuel cells. Generation of hydrogen from aluminum is one of the techniques by using alkali solutions as catalysts. The hydrogen produced from metal waste can be used in fuel cells to generate electricity. Among the various alkalis used as catalysts in the release of hydrogen from aluminum, Sodium hydroxide, and Potassium hydroxide were found to be more effective, due to the high ratio of hydrogen production. In this work, various concentrations of NaOH and KOH were used as catalysts and various amount of aluminium foil were used to generate hydrogen. It was found that 2 gm. of aluminum foil with the fixed ratio of water and alkali gives maximum hydrogen production of 1700 ml in 900 s. However, the rate of hydrogen production varies significantly with the mass of aluminium, type of alkali and concentration of alkali. The produced hydrogen was sent to the Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) directly to produce electricity, and the performance of the fuel cell was also examined.

Documentation detailing the relative inaccessibility of education in Ethiopia’s Somali Region continues to grow. Structural barriers—including limited access to school programs, a shortage of qualified teachers, insufficient funding, and scarce learning resources—act as compounding disadvantages for all learners. These realities are further exacerbated for adolescent girls by inadequate access to dedicated gender-responsive washrooms (private latrines and clean water) essential for Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM). When girls lack access to private, gender-segregated facilities, physical limitations become a catalyst for acute psychological distress. This psychological distress (marked by shame and embarrassment), combined with social pressures (leading to planned absenteeism) and diminished cognitive engagement (distraction caused by the ongoing anxiety of leakage), results in lower overall attendance and academic achievement. These factors define the parameters of social disapproval surrounding female education. The social disapproval associated with menstruation directly impacts girls' intentions to attend school while menstruating, acting as a socially constructed mechanism of exclusion that violates the fundamental right to education enshrined by UNESCO. This study (n=450) compares girls with access to re-useable MHM kits, paired with health education to a control group. This represents a baseline study to then revisit longitudinally to see if having access to reliable MHM changes beliefs and behaviours around school attendance and engagement during menstruation. A theory-driven principal component analysis explored key factors influencing school attendance and engagement for girls in the Somali Region of Ethiopia.

Women are the primary drivers of agricultural value addition in Sub-Saharan Africa, yet their economic potential remains stifled by systemic barriers. This study investigates the resource and institutional constraints limiting women’s participation in groundnut value addition in North-Western Nigeria. Using a cross-sectional survey of 142 female processors and farmers, the study initially attempted dimensionality reduction via Principal Component Analysis (PCA). However, a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of .371 indicated a lack of shared variance, revealing that these constraints operate as distinct, orthogonal formative indicators rather than reflective latent constructs. Consequently, a theoretical composite approach was adopted. Descriptive analysis identified lack of access to credit (M = 4.67, SD = 0.555) and market access problems (M = 4.39, SD = 0.673) as the most severe barriers. Furthermore, institutional support deficits, particularly in extension services (M = 4.32, SD = 0.820), compound these resource limitations. The findings challenge the conventional methodological assumption that agricultural constraints can be neatly clustered into single latent factors. Instead, they demonstrate that vulnerabilities are formative and multi-causal. The study concludes that targeted, collateral-free microfinance and the deployment of gender-sensitive extension services are critical to dismantling these distinct, intersecting barriers, thereby enhancing women’s economic resilience in rural agri-food systems.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties, phytochemical composition, fatty acid profile, FT-IR functional group characterization, and cyanogenic glycoside content of Neocarya macrophylla (gingerbread plum) seed oil sourced from Kebbi State, north-western Nigeria. Oil was extracted by Soxhlet method with n-hexane and analyzed using AOCS/AOAC standard methods, qualitative phytochemical tests, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Physicochemical analysis yielded a saponification value of 153.33 mgKOH/g, iodine value of 33.07 gI2/100g, peroxide value of 45.5 meq/kg, free fatty acid content of 3.72%, and acid value of 13.41 mgKOH/g, classifying the oil as a non-drying oil suitable for soap and cosmetic manufacture. FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed key functional groups: O–H carboxylic acid stretching at 3475.84 cm⁻¹, ester carbonyl C=O at 1740.81 cm⁻¹, and C–O triacylglycerol vibrations at 721.4 cm⁻¹, consistent with a triacylglycerol-rich oil composition. Qualitative phytochemical screening confirmed alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, and terpenoids; cardiac and cyanogenic glycosides were absent. GC-MS fatty acid profiling identified eleven fatty acids; oleic acid was predominant at 42.46%, followed by icosatetraenoate/arachidonic acid (17.67%) and eicosatrienoic acid, palmitic, stearic, and erucic acids. The MUFA/PUFA ratio of ~1.31 indicates favourable oxidative stability. Collectively, these results confirm the multi-sector industrial potential of N. macrophylla seed oil for soap, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceutical applications.
