TL;DR: In this article, the conditional relationship between renewable energy and environmental quality in a sample of 40 African countries for the period 2002 to 2017 has been assessed and the empirical evidence is based on fixed effects regressions and quantile fixed effect regressions.
Abstract: This paper complements existing literature by assessing the conditional relationship between renewable energy and environmental quality in a sample of 40 African countries for the period 2002 to 2017. The empirical evidence is based on fixed effects regressions and quantile fixed effects regressions. The findings from both estimation techniques show that renewable energy consistently decreases carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Moreover, the negative effect is a decreasing function of CO2 emissions or the negative effect of renewable energy on CO2 emissions decreases with increasing levels of CO2 emissions. In other words, countries with higher levels of CO2 emissions consistently experience a less negative effect compared with their counterparts with lower levels of CO2 emissions. Policy implications are discussed.

TL;DR: Examining the knowledge, pattern of treatment provision and factors influencing the behaviour of hospitals and non-hospitals in the treatment of malaria in south-east Nigeria found pressure from wholesalers to providers to repay the cost of supplied drugs was the major influence of the type of drugs provided to patients.
Abstract: Background
People seek treatment for malaria from a wide range of providers ranging from itinerant drug sellers to hospitals. However, there are lots of problems with treatment provision. Hence, factors influencing treatment provision in hospitals and non-hospitals require further investigation in order to remedy the situation.

TL;DR: Avocado starch was extracted from the kernels of the fruit Persea americana Miller (Fam. Lauraceae) and evaluated for its potential as an alternative to maize starch as a pharmaceutical excipient as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Avocado starch was extracted from the kernels of the fruit Persea americana Miller (Fam. Lauraceae) and evaluated for its potential as an alternative to maize starch as a pharmaceutical excipient. Its physicochemical and thermal properties were evaluated and compared with those of maize starch. Granules prepared with avocado and maize starch pastes as binder were evaluated for their flow, friability and compaction characteristics. The average yield of starch extracted from the fresh kernels of P. americana was 20.5 ± 0.55% w/w. The scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showed that avocado starch has two characteristic granule shapes; triangular and circular both having an approximate equal distribution. The triangular shaped granules are larger (28 to 32 μm) than the circular (6 to 9 μm). The foaming capacity of avocado starch was 19.05 ± 0.6%, its swelling, moisture uptake and paste clarity were generally lower than that of the maize starch. Avocado starch gel exhibited an extent of syneresis after freeze―thaw that increased cumulatively with increase in number of freeze― thaw cycles. The glass transition (T g ) and gelatinisation temperatures for avocado starch were higher than that of maize starch. The melting temperatures (T m ), ash value, as well as the various densities of avocado starch showed similarities with those of maize starch. The granules prepared with avocado starch pastes as binder showed superior compactibility and mechanical strength to those of maize starch but with similar flow characteristics. Avocado starch generally showed distinct physicochemical and binder properties with some similarities to the standard maize starch.

TL;DR: In this paper, the waste management in the municipality of Onitsha is handled by division of the municipality into six sanitation zones, where waste is discharged into 1.5 m3 containers in the residential areas while 1.6m3 containers and built-up dumps are used in the commercial, industrial and some residential areas.
