Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify why students use social media platforms as well as to examine the impact on students' perormance. In order to meet the study objectives, the data is collected via an online questionnaire distributed in the electronic form to a sample of students attending tertiary institutions in Dutse. The mixed method research design has been applied in the present study. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) is used to analyze the quantitative data. On the other hand, the content analysis technique has been adopted to analyse qualitative data. According to the findings of the survey, the majority of students at tertiary institutions utilized social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and Twitter, among others, and spent unnecessarily high time on them, drawing attention away from their study time. Results also indicates that higher institution students' use of social media platforms has a negative impact. The paper concludes that tertiary institutions should encourage students to use social media for academic research and assignments and that institutions should create ways to encourage students to use social media for academic purposes rather than for other purposes that interfere with their studies.

Design/methodology/approach Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was deployed to prioritise SCSs according to their relative impact on financial performance in LNG networks. Interviews with experts were analysed using template analysis to establish latent drivers of financial performance specific to LNG networks. Findings Results support the significant role of SCSs in improving financial performance. Although findings prioritised collaborative strategy as the most important driver of financial performance in LNG networks, to fully optimise financial outcomes, all the SCSs should be implemented across LNG networks as no single strategy in isolation is a standalone driver of financial performance.

However, the diagnosis of stress disorders is currently based on symptom checklist and psychological questionnaires, thus making the identification of candidate biomarkers necessary to gain better insights into this pathology and its related metabolic alterations. Regarding the identification of potential biomarkers, omic profiling and metabolic footprint arise as promising approaches to recognize early biochemical changes in such disease and provide opportunities for the development of integrative candidate biomarkers. Here, we studied plasma and urine metabolites together with metagenomics in a 3 days Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress (3d CUMS) animal approach that aims to focus on the early stress period of a well-established depression model. The multi-omics integration showed a profile composed by a signature of eight plasma metabolite...

Justice is an empty promise if it denies an individual or group achievable equal access to the courts. Economic, political, social, and cultural and ethnic barriers to the justice system unfortunately still exist as a result of corruption. Misuse of judicial power by the courts for private gain is no longer an aberration or isolated behavior. It is disturbingly a dominant and recurrent feature of the Nigerian system. Judicial corruption often involves a vicious dynamic in which judges trade injustice for favors and personal gains. However, this study assesses the public perception of the menace of corruption among judicial workers in Dutse metropolis, Jigawa State.
