Transport Institutions in Nigeria’s Livestock Trade: A case study of Bodija Cattle Market, Ibadan
Authors: Filani Michael O. , Ajayi Dickson’Dare
Published: October 2023

Using a qualitative method, this paper analyses the institutions in Nigeria’s livestock trade which enable an understanding of the actors and the nature of their interactions in the transportation of cattle from centres of production to the final consumers, using the Bodija cattle market in Ibadan as the case study. This paper is viewed within Alonso’s General Theory of Movement, and by extension, Ullman’s bases for spatial interaction. Fixed routes are followed in a north-south direction, with extraneous time consuming and quite often risky overland doverage of the earliest stages of movement, through railway carriage, though not without hitches. The road transport has dominated the movement of cattle in Nigeria, often by the private sector, not without its attendant problems though. Information was collected from the leaders in cattle marketing and transportation, noting especially the ethnicity and gender relations. The data collection involved group interviews, direct observations and extraction of relevant information from published sources. The findings show that formal and inform-al actors are involved in ;cattle transportation business. The movement of cattle to Akinyele was from the northern states. The choice of the market by cattle dealers largely depends on prices at various source markets, easy in availability of transport, and varieties of cattle species in demand. The availability of mobile phones h.as facilitated the exchange of information. Transportation is largely arranged through Yan Kwammssion (commissioned agents), and transport costs vary in proportion to the distance travelled.
Infrastructure and Development: Catalysis or Cataclysms in Africa? The case of fadama farming in Nigeria
Authors: Akinpelu Olanrewaju Olutayo
Published: October 2023

Perhaps the greatest achievement ever attained by Hunan beings is how they ‘captured’ nature through science. Nonetheless, it seems the greatest obstacle yet to be conquered is the human being itself. This obstacle is, perhaps, informed by the former preceding the laxer since it is still the understanding of science that is being applied to the understanding of human beings! What is often concocted is the direct application of scientific theories and methodologies which, in its initial historical emergence, was never a completely worked schema. In its development garb, science is applied to human welfare inform of infrastructural projects which are assumed to be condition for the attainment of ‘human comfort’ and ‘desire’. It has always been a ‘working to the answer’ leading, in the main, to cataclysms rather than catalysing development. The paper brings this out clearly in the assessment of a World Bank sponsored project in Nigeria. It found that even though the development community no longer claims a unilineal development paradigm, couched in terms of development cooperation recognizing indigenous peculiarities, the reality on ground proves otherwise. Furthermore, rather than catalysing development, more problems are in the offing than those proposed to have been solved.

Authors: Olapegba Peter Olamakinde
Published: October 2023

This study was designed to develop and validate a generic perceived quality of life measure for Nigerian culture so as to ensure culture relevance and validity of the concept of quality of life. One hundred and twenty-two (122) randomly selected respondents with ages ranging from 18-60 years old, a mean age of 28.7 and standard deviation of 9.9 took part in the study. The sample was drawn from Lagos, the former capital of Nigeria and, Ibadan, the capital of 4o State. Results show that the measure has content validity (using 80% agreements of experts). Reliability coefficient alpha is .87 while standardized item alpha is .87 with correlation between forms of .68. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) brought out seven factors; contentment, relationship, social support, self-competence, self-health perception, environmental relationship and recreation. It was thus concluded that this scale is a valid measure of perceived quality of life among Nigerians. It also suggested that the study can be improved upon to investigate multi-ethnic differences in perception of quality of lift.

Authors: Regalia Marta , Rombi Stefano
Published: October 2023

The quality of elections is a rapidly growing field of study. There are numerous research methods and analysis techniques to examine it. However, literature still needs to shed full light on one of the main concepts associated with this area of research. Often, scholars refer to the concept of “free and fair elections” without providing a precise definition and identifying the dimensions connected to it. This article aims to help fill this gap by proposing a theoretical and operational definition of free and fair elections. For this purpose, the ten dimensions that make up the concept and the procedures to be followed to arrive at their measurement are described in depth. At the end of the analysis, we propose an index that measures the level of freedom and fairness of the elections.

Lately, there has been massive development in the use of mobile phones especially in developing countries. But electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emissions from various mobile transceiver stations (MTS) have raised debates on whether they are hazardous to human or not. In this study, we aim at presenting an assessment of human exposure to RF radiation from mobile transceiver stations in Minna. The power flux densities radiations (W/m2) on residential buildings around the MTS were measured using a handheld Extech RF EMF strength meter. The highest mean power flux density value recorded for Minna, was 69.17mW/m2 while the least value was 2.11mW/m2. The result shows that the measured mean power flux density from mobile transceiver stations in Minna, have been compared with standard limit set by International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The measured value is far below the threshold limit. Therefore, RF emission from MTS in this study area may pose no known health hazards to the general public within the chosen vicinity.

Published: October 2023

Conducting multi-location trials along with the commercial varieties and genotype by environment (G x E) data analysis are vital to breeders to develop superior genotypes and to meet the challenges posed by environmental factors. This research was undertaken to evaluate maize hybrids for yield, to assess the effect of G x E on grain yield, and determine the yield stability of hybrids across major maize growing areas of Ethiopia. A total of 24 maize hybrids including standard checks (BH546, BH547, BH661 and Limu) were evaluated at six locations (Bako, Jimma, Pawe, Ambo Wendogenet and Asosa) in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications during the 2020 cropping season. The hybrids had significant differences for grain yeild at all locations. The analysis of variance for mean squares for genotype, location and G x E were significant. The hybrids SXM1910007, WE3106 and WE7131 were the most stable and high yielding with mean grain yield of 8.68 t/ha, 8.06 t/ha and 7.98t/ha, respectively, which was higher than best commercial checks. Therefore identified as the best widely adapted hybrids across locations. In conclusion, the identified desirable maize hybrids could be used as candidate varieties for cultivation in major maize growing areas of Ethiopia. However, the identified hybrids need to be further evaluated under verification trial over many locations to be recommended as commercial varieties.
Venous thromboembolism recurrence and intracranial hemorrhage in the cancer patient: A fatal course
Authors: Selki Kudret , Demir Mehmet Cihat
Published: October 2023

Objective: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which encompasses deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), represents a significant source of morbidity and mortality in individuals with malignancies. Thromboprophylaxis is commonly employed in the management of most cancer patients, with the most common side effect being bleeding. It is not uncommon for patients to experience a recurrence of VTE during their treatment, highlighting a notable gap in the available evidence on this issue.
Case: A 67-year-old male patient, actively undergoing chemotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma and initiated on low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) due to the development of PE, presented to the emergency department with DVT as a consequence of irregular use of anticoagulant injections. The patient, after being re-administered heparin, subsequently presented with intracranial hemorrhage on the 5th day post-discharge, ultimately leading to a fatal outcome.
Conclusion: Both cancer patients and the elderly are at a heightened risk of experiencing VTE recurrence. The initiation of anticoagulation treatment elevates the risk of bleeding, particularly within the first ten days. Despite the frequent presentation of VTE recurrence in cancer patients at emergency departments, it remains underreported.

Published: October 2023

Obesity is a significant public health concern in China, with a 2.5-fold increase in prevalence over the past 30 years. This increase corresponds to a rise in the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study aims to investigate the associations of OSA with depressive disorders and hypothalamic inflammation in obese young men. Between January 2020 and December 2021, 62 obese male patients were selected and divided into two groups: a depressive disorder group (18 cases) and a non-depressive disorder group (44 cases) according to the diagnostic criteria of the DSM-5 combined with depressive disorder. All patients were monitored using a portable sleep monitor. Hypothalamic inflammation was evaluated using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by calculating the signal intensity (SI) ratio of the T2-weighted phase of the hypothalamus/amygdala (H/A). Differences were observed in the respiratory event index (REI), lowest oxygen saturation, and oxygen desaturation index (P < 0.05). In the depressive disorder group, the left H/A was significantly higher than in the non-depressive disorder group (P = 0.002), whereas the right H/A did not differ significantly between the two groups (P > 0.05). Furthermore, the left H/A exhibited correlations with REI and body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.05), while no correlation was found between the right H/A and AHI (P > 0.05). In conclusion, our findings suggest that the left hypothalamic inflammation is positively correlated with the severity of OSA, implying that left hypothalamic inflammation may represent a potential mechanism underlying OSA in obese young patients with depressive disorders.
