This study conducts a comparative content analysis of 4th-grade social studies textbooks from Türkiye and Finland to explore how each education system embeds democratic values, global awareness, and critical thinking at the primary level. By focusing on the pedagogical philosophies, thematic structures, and visual strategies present in the textbooks, the research highlights the formative role these materials play in shaping civic identity and social cognition among young learners. Türkiye’s curriculum, rooted in a centralized and tradition-oriented model, emphasizes national unity, moral education, and rote learning. In contrast, Finland’s decentralized and student-centered approach promotes inquiry-based learning, environmental sustainability, children’s rights, and active participation. The study employs qualitative document analysis with thematic coding, drawing on state-approved 2023 textbooks published by the Turkish Ministry of National Education and Otava Publishing (Finland). Key analytical categories include curriculum content, pedagogical structure, visual literacy, inclusion, and representations of citizenship. The findings reveal distinct approaches to civic education: the Turkish textbook prioritizes conformity and factual recall, while the Finnish counterpart encourages reasoning, reflection, and student agency. Visual and structural design differences further illustrate these pedagogical divergences. This research contributes to comparative education literature by offering a culturally grounded analysis of how foundational values are transmitted through textbooks. It concludes by proposing a hybrid model that integrates Türkiye’s cultural heritage with Finland’s progressive instructional methods to guide future curriculum reform.

This paper investigated the teachers’ perceptions on the teaching of science to learners with disabilities in selected special and regular schools in Ondo State, Nigeria. The study population comprised all secondary school science teachers in Ondo State. Out of this, a sample of eighty-five (85) science teachers was selected through multistage sampling technique made up of purposive and stratified random sampling. The instrument used to collect data for the study was a questionnaire which consisted of variables pertinent to the study. The reliability coefficient of the questionnaire using Cronbach alpha was 0.85. The data collected were analysed using the t-test statistical analysis. The results showed that, science teachers from special and regular schools perceived that science should be taught to learners with and without disabilities. Significant difference existed as observed in the study’s outcome that girlchild with disabilities should be more exposed to the world of science. It was however; found that regular education (science) teachers were unprepared to work with learners with disabilities. Based on these findings, it was recommended among others that all teachers (special and regular educators) should stay abreast of new information because they are the most important determinants of the quality of educational programmes.

Background: Camel milk (Camelus dromedarius) is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including lactoferrin, immunoglobulins, and insulin-like proteins, with demonstrated therapeutic potential against metabolic, inflammatory, and infectious diseases. Its unique composition, characterized by high vitamin C, low lactose, and absence of β-lactoglobulin, distinguishes it from other ruminant milks and underpins its hypoallergenic and nutraceutical properties. Objective: This review synthesizes current evidence on camel milk’s anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet/antithrombotic, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic activities, emphasizing its mechanistic pathways and clinical applications. Key Findings: Antidiabetic Effects: Camel milk insulin (42 μU/mL) resists gastric degradation, reducing blood glucose and HbA1c levels by up to 15% in type 1 diabetics and lowering insulin requirements by 30–35%. Bioactive peptides inhibit DPP-IV, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase, enhancing pancreatic β-cell function. Anti-inflammatory & Immunomodulatory Properties: Lactoferrin and immunoglobulins suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1β, COX-2) and modulate oxidative stress via SOD/CAT upregulation. Antimicrobial Activity: Lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, and LAB isolates (e.g., Ligilactobacillus salivarius) exhibit bactericidal effects against Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and multidrug-resistant Salmonella. Antiplatelet/Antithrombotic Effects: Peptides derived from κ-casein inhibit fibrinogen binding to αIIbβ3 receptors, prolonging bleeding time and reducing thromboxane B2 synthesis. Conclusion: Camel milk’s multifunctional bioactive components offer promising avenues for adjuvant therapies in diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and infections. Further clinical trials are needed to standardize dosing and evaluate synergistic effects with conventional drugs.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common blood disorder, presenting multiple symptoms, including hemolytic anemia. It affects 400 million people worldwide, with more than 160 single mutations reported in G6PD. The most severe mutations (about 70) are classified as class I, leading to more than 90% loss of activity of the wild-type G6PD. The crystal structure of G6PD reveals these mutations are located away from the active site, concentrating around the noncatalytic NADP+-binding site and the dimer interface. However, the molecular mechanisms of class I mutant dysfunction have remained elusive, hindering the development of efficient therapies.

The applicability of Artificial Intelligence to trademark disputes in Nigeria is a matter of growing interest. Over the years, the trademark resolution process of infringement disputes in Nigeria is traditional, orthodox, and complex, with its multifaceted procedure that involves several steps, including human efforts that goes at snail pace. As a result of the emergence of artificial intelligent (AI) in our daily life and society, it is lucid that AI have not only outsmart the human intellect, but has become the world leading helper and now incorporated into basically all fields of life, including Medicine, Art, Engineering, and Law. This paper seeks to examine the Nigerian trademark dispute resolution framework, identify specific AI technologies utilized in resolving similar disputes and its cost-effectiveness. It further seeks to compare few jurisdictions that have integrated AI into their resolution processes. The methodology adopted is doctrinal method of legal research, having both primary and secondary data handy. Some challenges were observed as detrimental to incorporating AI to Trademark dispute resolutions in Nigeria ranging from not up-to-date legal framework, absence of quality data, cost, management and maintenance implications of the AI systems. It is recommended that in as much as integrating AI as problem solving technique has the potential to enhance a consistent, effective and efficient trademark disputes resolution mechanism, a successful implementation requires much more, which includes adequate training of man power, proper funding and creation of constant awareness of its presence to concerned stakeholders and the Nigerian public.
