A Proposed Framework of Unemployment and Youth Restiveness in the North-Eastern Nigeria: Exloring the Role of the “Almajiri” Culture by Abbo, Usman, Romle, Abd Rahim

“…More so as unemployment in Nigeria increase by 16% from 2011 to 2013 representing 39.9%, with youth unemployment representing 50% of this, where the north-eastern region continue to manifest the worst poverty rate compare to the other five geo-political zones couple with the existence of about 10 million “Almajiris” in the entire northern region which is much more than the total population of Sweden and the result of several investigation panels revealing the involvement of “Almajiri” in most of the violence occurring in the northern region from 1980 to 2010, where the vulnerability of the “Almajiri” due to abject poverty makes them a tool for unleashing violence by some unscrupulouselements. …”

A newly isolated organic solvent tolerant Bacillus sphaericus 205y producing organic solvent-stable lipase by Hun, Chin John, Raja Abd Rahman, Raja Noor Zaliha, Salleh, Abu Bakar, Basri, Mahiran

“…Four production media were tested and medium M3 yielded the highest lipase activity of 0.42 U ml-1 min-1 at 36 h incubation time. Stability studies in various organic solvents at 25% (v/v) showed that lipase from B. sphaericus 205y were not only stable but also activated by n-hexane and p-xylene by 3.5- and 2.9-folds, respectively. …”

Electronic structure of graphene– and BN–supported phosphorene by Kistanov, Andrey A., Saadatmand, Danial, Dmitriev, Sergey V., Zhou, Kun, Korznikova, Elena A., Davletshin, Artur R., Ustiuzhanina, Svetlana V.

“…Graphene–supported phosphorene is found to be metallic, while the BN–supported phosphorene is a semiconductor with a moderate band gap of 1.02 eV. Furthermore, the effects of the van der Waals interactions between the phosphorene and graphene or BN layers by means of the interlayer distance change are investigated. …”

The enhancer RNA ARIEL activates the oncogenic transcriptional program in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia by Tan, Shi Hao, Leong, Wei Zhong, Ngoc, Phuong Cao Thi, Tan, Tze King, Bertulfo, Fatima Carla, Lim, Mei Chee, An, Omer, Li, Zhenhua, Yeoh, Allen Eng Juh, Tenen, Daniel G., Sanda, Takaomi, Fullwood, Melissa Jane

“…We demonstrated that ARIEL is specifically activated in TAL1+ T-ALL cases, and its expression is associated with ARID5B enhancer activity. ARIEL recruits mediator proteins to the ARID5B enhancer, promotes enhancer-promoter interactions, and activates the expression of ARID5B, thereby positively regulating the TAL1-induced transcriptional program and the MYC oncogene. …”
