“…They also found that without significant economic incentives, participants chose not to relocate from flood-prone areas, partly due to moving costs. Ajibade et al (120) found that after flooding in Lagos in 2011, women in informal settlements were more severely affected than women living in more affluent areas. They struggled to restart their businesses due to lack of capital and an inability to rebuild.…”

In this paper, we present a narrative review of primary research on the health impacts of extreme weather events in urban informal settlements published between 1990 and June 2021. We include 54 studies and examine the health impacts of extreme weather events and how these were determined. We find that these events impact health directly by causing mortality, injury and disease and through indirect pathways by impacting livelihoods, access to healthcare, coping strategies and adaptive capacity. Drawing on the social determinants of health framework to frame our analysis, we find that health impacts are determined by multiple intersecting factors, relating to individual circumstances, material conditions, health status, and political and socio-economic context. Consequently, vulnerability varies between and within informal settlements. Overall, we show that responding to and minimising these health impacts requires an intersectional approach to understand and address these contextual root causes of vulnerability.

“…The development of nanostructured materials in the form of thin films has appropriate place in the research of solid state technology, it has high surface area to volume ratio therefore it have different structural, optical, electrical, magnetic and dielectric properties than bulk [1]. The nanomaterials especially metal chalcogenides, like selenides, sulfides, and telluride are being studied widely due to their quantum confinement effects that associated to their small crystalline size [2,3], which give them a large potential applications in the light emitting diodes, solar cells, fuel cell, drug delivery, catalysts for industrial transformation, gas and photo-sensing mechanism [2,4].…”

Nanocrystalline copper sulphide (Cu2-xS) powders were synthesized by chemical precipitation from their aqueous solutions composed of different molar ratio of copper sulfate dehydrate (CuSO4.5H2O) and thiorea (NH2)2CS as source of Cu+2, S-2 ions respectively, and sodium ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid dehydrate (EDTA) as a complex agent. The compositions, morphological and structural properties of the nanopowders were characterized by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The compositional results showed that the copper content was high and the Sulfur content was low for both CuS and Cu2S nanopowders. SEM images shows that all products consist of aggregate of fine nanospheres with uniform distribution and the size of the particles formed are in nanometer range. XRD results revealed that the obtained powders contains a mixture of copper sulfide phases specially the intermediate phases and the rough estimate of the average crystallite size using the Scherrer formula gives a range of values (4.1-36.9) nm.
