Environmental Responsibility Accounting Practices Disclosure and Performance of Quoted Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria | Chapter 01 | Current Perspectives to Environment and Climate Change Vol. 1

This study examined the relationship between environmental responsibility accounting practices disclosure and performance of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study adopted environmental responsibility accounting practices disclosure (ERAP) based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Reporting Guidelines as the dependent variable, while return on total assets (ROTA) and assets size (SIZE) were used to represent firm performance and the independent variables. The study which was anchored on the stakeholders’ theory used secondary data obtained from the annual reports of 73 manufacturing companies quoted on the floor of the Nigeria Stock Exchange for the years 2013- 2017. The ordinary least square (OLS) regression method was used as the basic technique of data analysis. Findings of the study revealed the existence of a significant positive relationship between firm performance and environmental responsibility accounting practices disclosure in the manufacturing sector of Nigeria. However, the findings of the study also indicated that environmental responsibility accounting practices disclosure in Nigeria is still developing and that manufacturing sector organizations report very little information about the impact of their operations on the environment. The study recommended, amongst others, that the relevant authorities and regulatory bodies in the country formulate statutory environmental friendly standards requirements for manufacturing sector organizations to comply with in order to facilitate environmental responsibility accounting practices disclosure.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Occipital Dermal Sinus Tract Causing Craniospinal Infection: A Review | Chapter 13 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  Dermal sinus is a rare congenital condition characterized by a pathological tract connecting the skin to deeper tissues of the central nervous system, potentially leading to severe infectious complications. It arises from a failure in the separation of ectodermal layers during early gestation. Diagnosing dermal sinus tract in newborns requires a careful physical examination, focusing on midline dimples in the occipital region associated with cutaneous abnormalities like hairy nevus or hyperpigmentation. The presence of drainage, abnormal hair distribution, or localized swelling may indicate a sinus tract. Regular examination for dimples or sinuses is recommended for infants and children with recurrent meningitis or infections. Early detection is crucial to prevent severe complications like meningitis, with Staphylococcus aureus being a common causative organism. Neuroradiological studies, including computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with histopath...

Alkali Element Modification of Glucose Molecules as a Method to Dissolve Cancer Cells | Chapter 12 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The present study highlights about alkali element modification of glucose molecules as a method to dissolve cancer cells. The central regulation of the mechanisms governing cell proliferation has little effect on cancer cells. Cancer cells are entirely independent of the central command and divide and proliferate on their own, making it challenging to activate their response mechanism. Precisely, this is the reason why they are at risk to the health of humans and/or any biological entities. Instead of trying to reconnect the central command of the growth control mechanism to cancer cells that are already out of the range, we present a method of using the cancer cell’s own irresponsive and uncontrolled growth mechanism to their disadvantage and destroy the cancer cells. We found that this is achievable in an atomic/molecular level study of the glucose molecule, which is the primary food source used for growth and energy generation by all cells in the body, including the cancer cel...
