This qualitative multiple-case study explored the lived experiences of six flood survivors, focusing on the challenges and difficulties they encountered both during and after the flood. It also emphasized their shared insights and optimistic outlooks, supporting and inspiring to those facing similar circumstances. The stories of trials and successes, drawn from in-depth interviews with participants, aimed to inspire hope, positivity, and faith in God amidst the challenges of the flood. The findings uncovered several major themes in the participants' flood experiences, which include the matchless encounter, the unpredicted occurrence, acts amid the storm, the soundless threat, the thief’s shadow, and the inaudible scream. These themes provided a deeper understanding of the personal and emotional aspects of their experiences. Additionally, seven major themes were identified that shed light on the coping mechanisms the participants employed to navigate the aftermath of the flood. Further, three key themes highlight the essential lessons and insights survivors gained from their experiences. These lessons not only influence future flood preparedness, response, and recovery methods, but they also motivate and guide those who may face similar challenges in the future.

This study explores how traditional occupational titles are conferred in Kano (a popular Hausa kingdom in northern Nigeria), with a focus on the cultural standards that guide the process both in the past and today. The research draws on a combination of library materials and interviews with experts familiar with these traditions. It is framed within the ‘Theory of Social Change, Cultural Evolution, and Human Development,’ which provides a lens for understanding how cultural practices adapt over time. The study pursues two main goals: first, to trace the historical roots of selected traditional occupational titles, and second, to examine the criteria used in their conferment across different periods. To achieve this, it asks key questions: Where did these titles originate? And what principles shape their conferment? Findings show that the conferment of traditional occupational titles in Kano is deeply rooted in cultural heritage, yet the standards guiding the process have evolved, reflecting broader changes in the Hausa society.

Louisiana has long faced significant health challenges, consistently ranking among the least healthy states in the U.S., with pronounced disparities disproportionately affecting low-income and minority populations. Prior to Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many residents of Baton Rouge’s underprivileged urban communities lacked health insurance and faced substantial barriers to care. Grounded in the Social Determinants of Health (SDH) theory which emphasizes how social, economic, and environmental factors shape health outcomes alongside the Health Equity framework and Andersen’s Behavioral Model of Health Services Use, this empirical literature review synthesizes research and policy data from 2015 to 2023 to examine Medicaid expansion’s impacts on healthcare accessibility, affordability, and equity in Baton Rouge. Using a systematic qualitative review methodology, peer-reviewed articles, governmental reports, and gray literature were analyzed, focusing on healthcare access and social determinants in urban low-income populations.
