  • An assessment of the level of awareness of sustainable design strategies among architects in Lagos state, Nigeria.


(1). OluKorede A. James,(2).Obiakor Chinenye ,(3).Oke Oluwadamilare,(4).Odutayo Yimika Sustainable design is a term that has been poorly defined by professionals in the building industry. These terms mean different things to different people and many issues have risen as pertaining to its adoption. Majority of architecture and engineering firms claim they practice sustainable design or say that at some point they have done a few buildings but it can be argued that most professionals have little or no understating of the intricacies of sustainable design. The purpose of this study is to examine the level of awareness of sustainable design strategies among architects in Lagos state, Nigeria. The study sampled 296 architects which was gotten using the Cochran formula. Data was collected with the use of questionnaire administration and analyzed using the statistical products for services and solutions (SPSS) software. The data gotten was interpreted using content analysis. It was revealed that most of the respondents were aware of the sustainable design strategies. This study concluded that although the level of awareness among the architects is high, there is need to ensure it stays that way by ensuring that knowledge of these strategies be mandated for all young professionals going into practice. This can be achieved by introducing it to the school of architecture at all levels. Also, there should be a balance on the information spread on the environmental Importance and benefits of this strategies as this is important for proper application and adoption.

  • Antifungal activity of Ageratum conyzoides Linn. leaf extract against Aspergillus niger


Shende Gaurav1, Mandpe Nayana2 and Shende Shivaji3

Abstract:
Shende Gaurav1, Mandpe Nayana2 and Shende Shivaji3 Ageratum conyzoides Linn. is an aromatic plant belonging to family Asteraceae having potential of antifungal activity. In Well diffusion method, methanol extract of leaves of Ageratum conyzoides L. has shown a striking zone of inhibition is an average 16 mm against Aspergillus niger. The least minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was found out of plant extract Ageratum conyzoides L. with optical density 0.557 in 0.2 ml dilution. This study thus confirmed the antifungal activity or fungitoxicant potential ofAgeratum conyzoides L.
