Dye Plants: Potential Value of NTFP to Textile Industry in Ogun State, Nigeria

Aims: To identify perceived product attributes influencing consumer purchase intention; determine the relationship between shopping experience and consumer purchase intention and examine the influence of product understanding on consumption of traditional textiles in Nigeria textiles industry. Study Design: Descriptive survey research design was used for the study. Place and Duration of Study: Itoku and Asero Adire International market, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria between September and October, 2018. Methodology: The population of the study comprises all the customers of traditionally made textiles in Itoku and Asero Adire International market from which 158 respondents were selected through purposive sampling technique. Only 127 questionnaires that were correctly filled were used for the study. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis and multiple regression model. Results: Findings from the study showed that textile quality, accessibility (shopping convenience), acceptability, price, packaging, texture, availability and designs with Eigen values of .615, .692, .777, .673, .614, .679, .659, and .620 respectively were the product attributes influencing consumer purchase intention. Furthermore, results showed that consumer shopping experience (R2=0.304; P=.001) and product understanding (R2=0.355; P=.000) were positively correlated with consumer purchase intention. Conclusion: The study concluded that made-in-Nigeria traditional textile’s attributes, shopping experience and understanding of the product are major determinants of consumers purchase intentions in the textile industry in Nigeria.

Gynecologic Neoplasms

The female reproductive tract may be the site of a wide variety of benign and malignant tumors, as well as non-neoplastic tumor-like conditions, most of which can be diagnosed by light microscopic examination including special stains and more recently immunoperoxidase techniques. Nevertheless there are situations where ultrastructural examination can contribute substantially to an accurate and specific diagnosis. It is my opinion that electron microscopy can be of greatest benefit and is most cost effective when applied in conjunction with other methodologies. Thus, I have developed an approach which has proved useful for me and may have benefit for others. In cases where it is deemed of potential value, glutaraldehyde-fixed material is obtained at the time of frozen section or otherwise at operation. Coordination with the gynecologic oncologist is required in the latter situation. This material is processed and blocked and is available if a future need arises.

In Vivo Distribution

SummaryThe in vivo distribution of 57Co-hematoporphyrin in adenocarcinoma BW10232-bearing mice has been studied. Tumor-bearing and normal animals exhibit similar patterns of radioactivity accumulation. Twenty-four hours after the administration of the radiocompound the ratios tumor to blood and tumor to muscle indicate a potential value of this radioactive porphyrin for the detection of some types of tumor.

Depth Interviews

This paper proposes a new conceptual framework in understanding the dynamics within the Kurdish and Turkish (KT) owned firms in London by utilising Charles Tilly’s work concerning collective resource mobilisation. Drawing on 60 in-depth interviews with restaurant, off-licence, kebab-shop, coffee-shop, supermarket, wholesaler owners and various community organisations, the paper sheds light upon the questions of why and how the KT communities in London moved into, and are over represented and why Turkish Cypriots are absent in small business ownership. The re-search illustrates that members of the KT communities aligned in their interests to become small business owners after the demise of textile industry in the midst of 1990s in London. The interest alignment in small business ownership required activation of various forms of capital and transposition of social, cultural and economic capital into one another.

This article offers insights into conceptual, pedagogical, and programmatic crossings and conflicts between the fields of Environmental Studies and Ethnic Studies. It highlights both the important intersections between the two fields and their potential value, while also addressing the challenges posed in the development of programmatic collaborations. Utilizing case studies drawn from the author’s own experiences, the article’s focus is on harnessing the strengths and limitations of both fields to promote transformative knowledge and action at multiple scales.
