“…Consequently, hyoid is displaced downward while the tongue is placed lower and farther in the oral cavity 6 . When adenoids grow, they cause partial or total nasopharyngeal airway obstruction, resulting in nasal respiratory deficiencies 7 . The conflict between adenoid size and nasopharyngeal airway volume may arise from the fact that the skeletal structure of the nasopharynx and tonsillar tissue follow different growth patterns 8 .…”

Craniofacial anomalies may cause alteration of pharyngeal airway due to compensation mechanisms occur as a result of physiological progresses. It's been always a subject of interest for orthodontics if there is a correlation between face morphology and airway. The aim of our study is to evaluate the relationship between pharyngeal airway and craniofacial structures according to facial growth patterns by 3-D imaging methods in individuals with different skeletal anomalies. For this purpose, archieved Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images are used. Total number of 180 CBCT data were divided into to 3 groups in sagittal direction according to ANB as Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3. Then, each group were divided into 3 subgroups in vertical direction as horizontal, normal and vertical face types according to the SN-GoGn and sum of Posterior angles. The volumetric, areal and linear measurements of the airway were performed on the CBCT images by the MIMICS program and the results were analyzed by statistical methods. There was no statistically significant difference in volumetric measurements between Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 groups. Significant differences in areal measurements in axial area at C2 level, in the transversal area at O-N border and in linear measurements, a-p at C2 levels and a-p at O-N margin were found. In Class 3 patients, there was a statistically significant difference between horizontal and normal face types at the level of a-p at C2. There was a statistically significant difference in a-p measurements at C2 level of horizontal face type group between Class 1-Class 3 and between Class 2-Class 3 groups. Malformations in the sagittal direction and different facial types in the vertical dimension may be related to pharyngeal airway volume and dimension.

“…Adedeji et al [13] observed that sustainable housing provision is the gradual, continual and replicable process of meeting the housing needs of the populace, the vast majority of who are poor and are incapable of providing adequately for themselves. It ensures housing strategies that are stable and are not subject to vagaries in the political circumstances of the country.…”

The housing situation in Nigeria is of deep concern for the government and the nation in the light of global warming. However, as studies have shown, the problem of housing is a universal one varying in different degrees from one country to another. Many buildings in Nigeria are inadequate qualitatively, and are located in insanitary environments. The paper examines a sustainable housing development process based on sustainable principles. The paper appraises sustainable housing development in Nigeria using low-carbon technology. This is with particular reference to the stabilized earth bricks as walling materials and the use of renewable energy through solar panels to generate power for such buildings in an environmentally friendly manner. Both embodied and operational energy uses on the buildings are examined with respect to the tropics within and outside the tropical region of the world.

“…It is vital for the Nigerian Institute of Architects, Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, and other Institutions and agencies responsible for teaching and training professionals to organise seminars and regular training programmes on effective waste minimization strategies to equip professionals with adequate knowledge on their relevance [13,18]. Similar retraining should be extended to workmen on site on the usage of materials towards waste reduction in the building pro.…”

The construction industry is one of the largest solid waste generators all over the globe. Because waste generation from both new construction works, as well as renovation works has been on the increase, it is absolutely necessary for the construction industry to adopt ecologically sound planning and construction practices for the purpose of creating a healthy and sustainable built environment. This is the focus of this paper. It appraises the management of construction waste in Nigeria and Akure in particular. A survey of selected construction sites in Akure is used as a case study to demonstrate the magnitude of poor management level of construction waste generation observed and the implications on the built environment. Research findings reveal that the Ondo State Waste Management Board is responsible for the management of solid waste in the city and over 78% of the construction waste is disposed indiscriminately or burnt on site, since the mandate of the board does not cover construction waste. Contractors were observed to cart away a sizeable junk of the waste for other uses. The paper suggests a wide range of measures for minimisation of waste on construction sites. These include modularisation of design, standardisation of building components, industrial production of building materials, efficient specification writing, retraining of building professionals, reuse and recycling among others. The paper concludes that there is colossal deficiency in the management of construction waste in the study area and recommend ways of ameliorating it.
