- A strong correlation exists between education and sustainable development. In the light of this fact, material, human and financial resources have been committed to education by the three tiers of government in Nigeria. Despite this, there is still public outcry against the continual falling Standard of education in Nigeria. In an attempt to solve this problem, individuals and different groups of experts from the same disciplines have been conducting researches without collaborating with researchers from other disciplines. However, it is evident that the educational problem of mass failure of students in public examinations is yet to be solved. This paper therefore proposes a new paradigm of collaborative multidisciplinary research approach which will bring together practitioners and teams of experts from many disciplines in the field of education. This study posits that the outcome of such collaborative approach would include Provision of new Solutions to the problem; new discoveries in the areas of methods of teaching; better techniques in curriculum delivery; strategies for improved reading culture of students; Provision of efficient library Services and advancement of knowledge. 1 results 1
- A university’s objective is to educate its students using information and communication technologies (ICTs) and teaching techniques that would enable its graduates become flexible and life-long learners that can easily adapt to the changes eminent in the information society. Achieving this aim requires among other factors, the adoption of appropriate teaching model such as the project based learning (PBL) which supports the inculcation of collaborative and lifelong learning skills, technology use skills, knowledge sharing skills and social networking skills into students. Consequently, this study was carried out to evaluate the use of mobile phones by students involved in PBL in three randomly selected private universities in Nigeria. The questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection from 750 undergraduates students distributed across the three selected private universities in southwestern Nigerian states. This is to say that 250 students were sampled from each of the participating private universities whose population was estimated to be about 2000 students each. Also, the use of stratified sampling technique ensured that only those students that were in their second, third, fourth and fifth year in the sampled universities, who were presumed to have acquired required learning experiences, participated in the study. The result showed that a significant percentage of the students studied had mobile phones and that they used their mobile phones for communication, interactions, getting information, browsing the Internet, and sharing knowledge anytime they were involved in PBL. It was also revealed that mobiles phones can be used to strengthen PBL in higher institutions and can be used to implement information services provided for students in their university. Although private universities in southwestern Nigeria amounts to about 43.9% of private universities in Nigeria, a percentage that makes them a sizable representation of private universities in Nigeria, the fact that the study sampled population was drawn from only three southwestern Nigerian based private universities made generalizing the results of this study as the situation in Nigeria in appropriate. The study however, provides first hand information on the prospects, gains and challenges mobile phones offer as appropriate education technology for implementing PBL in Nigerian universities 1 results 1

- Background: Soft-tissue sarcomas are relatively rare tumors and can occur in many parts of the body. When they affect the body extremities, their management can be challenging, often leading to limb amputation. Recent advances in surgery, adjuvant therapy, and better collaboration among different surgical specialists, medical and radiation oncologists, coupled with management in specialized centers have led to an upsurge in limb preservation. However, this is not obtainable in many centers in the developing countries. We report cases of soft-tissue sarcoma of the lower limb in two patients managed in a tertiary center in sub-Saharan Africa and the challenges encountered in their management. Case Reports: Two patients presented to our hospital with progressive painless masses on the lower third of their legs. Evaluation suggested that the masses were malignant. They both had wide local excision. The first patient had reconstruction with island sural artery fasciocutaneous flap, whereas the second had reconstruction with freestyle propeller flap. The postoperative periods were uneventful, and timely adjuvant therapy was commenced. Limb function was preserved in the two patients. Conclusion: Treatment of soft-tissue sarcomas of the limbs could be tasking, but multispecialty surgical intervention and adequate adjuvant therapy could give favorable result and a functional limb postoperatively. 1 results 1

- Compliance with Shari'ah rules is compulsory for all Islamic banks; and such compliance is monitored by Shari'ah scholars. Therefore, this article examines and gauges the level of understanding of Nigerian Shari'ah scholars (the custodians of Shari'ah rules in the country) and their perceptions of the Islamic banking and its rules particularly interest (riba). The survey method involving the use of purposive sampling was adopted to administer 1,040 copies of a questionnaire sent to Nigerian Shari'ah scholars, though some key people were also interviewed. The questionnaire, which contains 19 items, was designed to elicit information from them on issues such as their understanding of riba, its uses in the Qur'an, Islamic banking products, collateral security and promotion (promos). Our findings revealed that there were more respondents (917) who considered usury to be forbidden than those who considered (871) interest to be forbidden. A large number of Shari'ah scholars (93.6%) confused interest with usury which suggests that both interest and usury refer to riba. Some believed that riba (48.6%) only refers to usury, while most of the respondents (74.1%) opined that all forms of interest are prohibited. About 73.7%, 86.3%, and 27.6% of the respondents believed rahn (collateral security), innovating interest-free financial products and patronising conventional banks respectively were allowed. The Shari'ah scholars surveyed (64.7%) believed that conventional financial products can be made Shari’ah-compliant, banks can operate successively without interest (89%), and they (70.3%) were of the views that promotions done by the conventional banks are against the teachings of Islam considering the source of the funds used in their promotions which contains the accrued interest income and lack of fairness in the distributions of the promotions. Seminars, workshops, and conferences can be organized for the scholars with a view to training them in the areas of Islamic banking and finance. Collaboration can be established between the Nigerian Shari'ah scholars and the Shari'ah scholars from the Middle East so that the former can benefit from the wealth of experience of the latter in the areas of Islamic banking and finance. 1 results 1
