A change in the teaching-learning practices and evaluation of student outcome is of prime importance for new strategies to be developed. This rrrr is conducted for finding out innovative teaching practices adopted by the teachers at higher education institutions for attainment of expected learning outcomes and sustain quality of higher education. This study also aims at proposing such innovative practices for inclusion in NAAC framework making it result oriented framework.<#LINE#>Walington J.A.

The samples were collected at surface depth (0-15cm) and subsurface depth (15-30cm) after field reconnaissance survey. The value of physicochemical properties as well as the Total hydrocarbon content were quantified using standard analytical methods to ascertain the threat to the natural biodiversity within vicinity of study. Results of pH range from 5.14-5.40; EC: 101.40-186.20; moisture content: 14.40-18.40%; Total organic carbon: 1.31-1.71%; Total organic matter: 2.30-3.00%; Total hydrocarbon content:14326 - 22504 mg/kg. An assessment of the Distribution patterns of normal alkanes and isoprenoids in the samples showed nC8 to nC40. The computed diagnostic ratios for Pr/Ph, nC17/Pr, nC18/Ph, nC25/nC18, and CPI were: 0.25-0.42; 4.37-6.61; 1.59-3.43; 0.16-1.19 and 0.97-1.06 respectively. The obtained result from the Total hydrocarbon content and physicochemical parameters showed that the soil was heavily impacted and needs some remedial measures to restore the soil to optimum conditions for the support of biodiversity. Total hydrocarbon content exceeded both the intervention and target regulatory standards of Nigeria’s Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) EGASPIN of 5000mg/kg and 50mg/kg respectively. Low Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium concentration, and fairly high moisture content were implicative of low soil fertility.<#LINE#>Kadafa A.A., Zakaria M.P. and Othman, F.

In this dynamic, physico-chemical, qualitative and quantitative, chromatographic and spectral analyses on the extract from fresh leaves of M. indica were carried out and allowed an informed application of this dye on cotton threads. With an extraction yield of about 9%, M. indica leaves have a total flavonoid content of 400.314±2.221mgEQ/g of dye powder. Hydrolyzable and condensed tanninsrateswere 10.157% and 44.850%, respectively. The HPTLC chromatographic profile of the dye extracted from leaves of M. indica indicated the presence of flavonols and xanthonoids (mangiferin). The vibrations of elongation νO-H, νC-N and that of deformation νN-Hrespectively of the alcohols, xanthonoids, amines and/or amides in infra-red suggest the presence of flavonic and xanthonoid colouring molecules that, through metal chelators and/or inter and/or intermolecular combinations, are responsible for the final colour shades obtained in tinctorial practice. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy revealed the presence of major flavonoid molecules such as quercetin 3-O-hexose and kaempferol 3-O-hexose. Tinctorial practice techniques applied on cotton threads have allowed to have various shades of colors (champagne yellow, yellow corn, cow tail, vanilla, yellow March ...). In addition to being a natural acid dye, textile dye extracted from M. indica leaves can be classified as a metal dye in terms of the quality of shades obtained with the use of mordants such as alum, hydrated iron and copper sulfates.<#LINE#>Yadav Saroj, Rose Neelam, Singh Jeet and Khambra Krishna (2013).@Natural Dye Powder: An Easy Technique for Eco-Dyeing.@Vol. 2 (ISC-2012), 308-311.@Yes$De Santis D. and Moresi M.

Ten freshly preserved smoked fish samples, each of Claria spp, Tilapia spp and Heterotis spp were obtained from Hadejia fish market and transported to the laboratory of Biological Sciences Department, Sule Lamodo University, Kafin Hausa Jigawa. The samples of the smoked fish species were placed separately in plastic containers, covered with muslin cloth and stored for eight weeks under ambient temperature and humidity. The adult and larvae of the insect pest were counted and identified based on their morphological features and recorded. The results showed that the level of insect pests infestation among three species of the smoked fish did not differ significantly (p > 0.05). The comparison between the two insect pests was significant (p < 0.05) with high number of Necrobia spp and few Dermestes spp. There is need to established safe measures for the control of these insects in order to curb the damage causes on both quality and quantity of cured fish.<#LINE#>FAO, U.
