Authors: Arora Shivam , Sobti Shyam
Published: March 2022

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a rare disorder, presenting with multiple contractures and limb
deformities. Various theories have been proposed for the development of this congenital anomaly. The final diagnosis is
made based upon the clinical signs and imaging findings. This case report aims to outline the imaging features that can
help radiologists to make the diagnosis of AMC through radiographs and skeletal survey. Since, very few cases have
been reported in literature, no specific treatment protocols have been outlined. Therefore, antenatal diagnosis based on
characteristic imaging findings is crucial for early termination and parental counselling.

Authors: YUSUF Hajara Oyiza , OLU Joshua , AKHIGBE Charity Irekpita
Published: March 2022

This study set out to evaluate the phytochemical composition of Erythrophleum suaveolens stem bark extract and its fungicidal attributes towards Aspergillus flavus isolated from Zea mays. The stem bark extract was obtained using soxhlet extraction method with methanol, chloroform, and water as solvents. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis was then carried out to determine the concentration of phytochemicals present in the stem bark extracts, this were the tannin, flavonoid, saponin and phenol with a concentration of 2.47, 1.328, 2.72 and 0.838 mg/g respectively. For the antifungal effect, different crude concentrations of the stem bark extracts were then added to agar wells within Aspergillus flavus swabbed in a potato dextrose agar plate for 2hrs at room temperature and allowed for diffusion to take place. After 48hrs, the cultured samples were examined for zones of inhibition. The water and chloroform extracts had an inhibitory diameter zone of 10 and 2 mm respectively. The utilization of plant extract of Erythrophleum suaveolens could form an alternative to synthetic fungicides/pesticides used in the management of pests and fungi diseases. Significant implication from the result was that, water extract of the plant had higher antifungal potency towards A. flavus isolated from Zea mays

Authors: AMAEGBERI MICHAEL AYIBANUA , NATHAN EMMANUEL
Published: March 2022

This study examined banking sector reforms in Nigeria vis-à-vis the performance of the banking system measured by total credit of banks to domestic private sector (CREP) and banks’ return on assets (ROA). The period of study is between 1971 and 2011. The Ordinary Least Square (OLS) estimation technique was used for the data analysis. The cointegration results confirmed the existence of long run relationship among the variables in the models. The study found that lending rate and spread impacted negatively on CREP. ROA impacted positively and significantly on CREP but minimally on financial deepening. The study recommended among others, a gradual and systematic reduction in the minimum rediscount rate as a means of reducing lending rate to encourage borrowing and stimulate private sector investment in Nigeria

Authors: OKWUDILI WALTER UGWUOKE
Published: March 2022

This paper set out to provide answers to the question, t Can the agricultural sector stimulate the economic average growth rate needed to achieve MDGs Goal one of poverty reduction in the post 2015 era? using co integration test, Granger Causality test and vector error correction model ( VECM).The findings from the above econometric models used showed that agricultural sector proxy by Agricultural Export Earnings (AEE) has direct relationship to economic growth proxy by (GDP) in Nigeria. The implication is that earnings from agricultural sector are capable of stimulating growth that will ensure the achievement of MDGs Goal of poverty reduction. The result of the Vector Error Correction Mechanism (VECM) revealed that AEE and GDP will converge towards long run equilibrium thereby confirming the result of our granger causality test. The paper, therefore, submits that there is need for integrated development objectives in agricultural sector that will ensure inclusive growth, increased employment, enhance per capita income and by extension achieve MDGs of poverty reduction.

Authors: CHARLES ALFRED
Published: March 2022

This paper examined the centripetal and centrifugal forces surrounding the politics of MDGs and Nigeria’s post-2015 development trajectory. The paper interrogated the development trajectory of African countries within the context of core-periphery relations and concludes that the MDGs cannot promote African development. Consequently, it posits that post-2015 development agenda for the poor nations of Africa must be guided by the jettisoning of the International Community and their policies such as the MDGs and the current SDGs.
THE APPLICATION OF FEDERAL CHARACTER PRINCIPLE IN NIGERIA: IMPLICATIONS FOR STUDENTS’ ADMISSIONS INTO FEDERAL UNITY SCHOOLS
Authors: OSIMERAH CHARLES ALEONOKHUA , OKOLO PHILIPS O.
Published: March 2022

This paper examined the implications of the application of the FCP for students’ admissions into Unity Schools. The paper is an historical analysis that relied on secondary sources of data. The study, observed that efforts made by government to unite the nation through this policy option in its implementation in the education sector did not yield the desired result, as the principle created more distortions such as lopsidedness, outright lowering of standards, excessive wage bill and this largely created disunity among Nigerians. The study therefore, recommends among others, that its current constitutional status should be reconsidered to reposition it towards the achievement of sustainability of development efforts in this sector.
PRIVATIZATION OF PUBLIC ENTERPRISES, FROM PUBLIC MONOPOLY TO PRIVATE MONOPOLY: IMPLICATIONS FOR POST 2015 DEVELOPMENT AGENDA IN NIGERIA
Authors: TARABINAH WILFRED MCBARRY
Published: March 2022

This study argued that Nigeria’s adoption of wholesale privatization of its national economic assets without a corresponding industrial base can hardly achieve the goals of the SDGs in the year 2030. A post 2015 development agenda should revisit the dubious sales of some of these assets and the government should strive for accountability and transparency in order to strengthen the fight against corruption, insecurity and poverty
CAPITAL MARKET OPERATIONS AND THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY
Authors: APERE THANKGOD
Published: March 2022

The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between capital market operations and the Nigerian economy over the period 1981 to 2016,using the Structural Vector Autoregressive Econometric Technique. The results of this study show that the relationship between capital market development and economic growth was found to be positive. Empirically the impulse response result of this study shows that the response of real domestic product to market capitalization was positive and significant. On the second-row shock on market capitalization shows a negative response to real gross domestic product and later positive and did not die out in the long run. The response of all share price index to real gross domestic product and which is depicted in the third row shows that all share price index responds positively to real gross domestic product shocks. Total volume of transaction response to real gross domestic product, was negative over the first through the third forecasting period and became positive from the fourth period and did not die out in the long-run. The variance decomposition result shows that as market capitalization, all share price index and total volume of transaction increase, more shocks occur on real gross domestic product; thus, capital market impacts on economic growth to a large extent. This study therefore concludes that the capital market impact on economic growth via market capitalization, all share index, value of transaction and total listing of equity and government stock. As it was observed, market capitalization, government stock and value of transaction are important capital market variables that can influence economic growth. This study therefore recommends that the Nigerian government should strictly implement policy directed at officially ending laws that hamper its effective functioning of the Nigeria capital market. Also, there is the need for effective and favourable macroeconomic environment to facilitate the stock market to influence remarkable growth of the Nigerian economy.
THE DEVELOPING WORLD AND DEVELOPMENT ISSUES: INTERROGATING THE DEVELOPMENT TRAJECTORY OF MALAYSIA
Authors: ATANI EBIERE LYNSA
Published: March 2022

The development strides’ taken by the state and leadership of Malaysia over the last four decades are worth commending. Her high growth rate is consistent with high GDP, high GNI per Capita, low poverty indices, improvement in the quality of life, income distribution, promotion of growth and equity, racial harmony, religious tolerance and political stability. Malaysia, under the current leadership of Prime Minister Najid Razak, has colonial realities that correspond with those of other colonized countries of the developing world and also inherited the colonial legacies enumerated in the development literature. Being in the same predicaments with her sister countries in the global south, Malaysia was also faced with the option of following the development routes suggested by the Bretton Woods Institutions or those of dependency scholars. However, Malaysia attempted a now successful path unique to her realities with a mixture of the values of prior development theories where necessary. By implementing short and medium term goals towards the achievement of the long-term goal of vision 2020, the country has been able to navigate her way out of a deep-seated racialized poverty to becoming a high-incomemiddle-class society where others in her category particularly, Nigeria, have failed. What did Malaysia do differently from other countries in the global south like Nigeria? With the use of documentary observation method and descriptive analysis, this paper attempts to answer this question by interrogating the development trajectory of Malaysia. It concludes by suggesting ways Nigeria could learn from it.

Authors: MAMMAN ALIYU , BRAIDE SONNY EMMANUEL , OGBU ORINYA JOHN
Published: March 2022

The study examined the factors influencing customer satisfaction in the Nigerian bread industry with reference to Kaduna Metropolis. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire administered on the 384 sampled respondents in the study area. Area random sampling technique was used in the selection of sample subjects across the metropolis. Descriptive statistics in the form of frequency and percentage was used to analyze the demographic data about the respondents. Inferential statistics in the form of multiple regressions was used to determine the factors influencing customer satisfaction in the Nigerian bread industry. The findings of the study indicate that quality of bread and price have positive and significant influence on customer satisfaction as suggested by the t-value of 8.834 and 10.787 respectively, which are all significant at 0.01.From the findings, the study concludes that quality of bread has higher influence on customer satisfaction than price of bread which was interpreted to mean that in the bread industry, customers are more concerned about quality of product than its price. Following the conclusion, it is recommended that managers of bakeries should place more emphasis on quality of bread they offer for sale and the prices they charge in such a way that they meet up with customer expectations in those areas so as to avoid or minimize cases of switch over to competitors as the industry is highly competitive.
RESTRUCTURING ANXIETY: CONTINENTAL, CORPORATE AND EURO-AMERICAN RESPONSES TO RESTRUCTURING AGENDA IN NIGERIA
Authors: EGBE OLAWARI O.D.J
Published: March 2022

This paper investigated restructuring anxiety in the African Union, Hemisphere North and their Trans-National Corporations in Nigeria. The paper discovered that ethnic groups and even scholarship on the restructuring debate in Nigeria are silent on the possible actions and inactions of the A.U, Britain, the U.S., France, and their TNCs (especially the Royal/Dutch Shell) operating in Nigeria. In the attempt to fill this gap, this paper recalls that to the extent that the then O.A.U (now A.U), world capitals in London, Washington D.C and Paris, and their TNCs were interested parties in course of the Nigerian Civil War, restructuring anxiety in these named actors would most likely work to undermine the genuine aspirations of certain ethnic groups of a restructured Nigeria. The paper recommends that the A.U, the global North and their TNCs must demonstrate unbiased interests in the Nigerian project by supporting to work out an equitable federal structure that would promote mutual co-existence among the diverse ethnic nationalities in Nigeria; a restructured Nigeria that would further strengthen her internal co-existence and her bilateral relations with the international community.

VQ-VAE Empowered Wireless Communication for Joint Source-Channel Coding and Beyond
Authors: Nemati Mahyar , Park Jihong , Choi Jinho
Published: March 2022

Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder (VQ-VAE) has shown promise in representing diverse and complex data distributions in deep learning, making it a potential solution for various applications including wireless communications. In this paper, we propose a joint source-channel coding scheme based on VQ-VAE for point-to-point wireless communication. Our approach leverages the dependence of the encoder and decoder on a given dataset and channel conditions to develop efficient encoding and decoding schemes, leading to improved reliability and efficiency even in the presence of noisy wireless channels. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach through extensive simulations in handling realistic wireless communication scenarios. In addition, we discuss potential connections to semantic communication and highlight the secure and energy-efficient nature of our approach.

Based on the report from the Padang City Health Office, the health service sector reported the nutritional status of toddlers in the city of Padang, among others, the poor nutritional status of 96 toddlers (3.05%) and undernutrition status of 385 toddlers (12.22%), and normal nutrition 2,622 toddlers (83 ,24%) and over nutrition 47 children under five (1,49%). The highest malnutrition status was found in Belimbing Health Center, namely 10 people (13%) and undernourished as many as 54 people (69.2%) of the total number of toddlers as many as 78 people. The purpose of this study was to describe the level of knowledge of mothers about nutrition in children under five at the Belimbing Health Center. This type of research is descriptive which has been carried out at the Belimbing Padang Health Center. The population was all mothers of children under five who visited the Belimbing Padang Health Center totaling 78 people and the sample was taken by a total sampling of 78 people, at the time of the study using a questionnaire by means of a questionnaire. Then the data were analyzed univariately. The results showed (59.0%) mothers had low knowledge about nutrition, (51.3%) mothers had low knowledge about types of nutritious food, (59.0%) mothers had low knowledge about how to process nutritious food, (60.3%) ) mothers have low knowledge about overcoming nutritional problems and (35.9%) mothers have low knowledge about signs of adequate nutrition at the Belimbing Padang Health Center. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the level of mother's knowledge about nutrition for toddlers is still low, so it is hoped that health service agencies such as puskesmas, sub-health centers, posyandu, cadres are expected to be able to reactivate health counseling or promotion activities in the community by going directly to residents' homes, especially on mothers who have less knowledge about toddler nutrition.
Mechanism of Action of Tumorigenesis of Anticancer Molecules of Palm Oil Tocotrienols (Elaeis Guieensis Jacq.): A Systematic Review
Authors: Lubis Humairah Medina Liza , Purwoningsih Emni , Nasution Annissa Ambaravista , Salim Qatrunnada Medina
Published: March 2022

Palm oil contains vitamin E which comprises two structurally similar compounds namely tocopherols and tocotrienols. For many years tocopherols considered the best therapy in curing disease, but in recent research advances, tocotrienol has been widely used as a powerful therapy in several diseases, including cancer. We prepared this article to review and analyze the role of tocotrienols from palm oil as anticancer molecules and their mechanism of action in the process of tumorigenesis based on the literature from PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and ProQuest databases published from 2011 to 2020, and according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Nineteen English articles and abstracts according to the inclusion criteria, systematically reviewed and compiled. The results showed that tocotrienol acts on intracellular and extracellular targets involved in cell signaling pathways and suppresses the growth of various malignancies, including breast, lung, prostate, ovarian, liver, brain, colon, pancreatic, and myeloma cancers. This literature review shows that the molecular mechanism of action of tocotrienols has several advantages, namely a positive effect on cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, metastasis, and inflammation, which when working together can function as effective agents in cancer therapy. The tocotrienol-mediated therapeutic action mechanism could help clinicians to design new strategies for cancer treatment.

An Empirical Study: Willful Infringement & Enhanced Damages in Patent Law After Halo
Authors: Sandrik Karen
Published: March 2022

For decades, companies and attorneys have instructed teams of engineers, researchers, and computer scientists to ignore patents. The reasoning for this advice: if there is no pre-suit knowledge of a patent, then it is nearly impossible for a patent holder to prove that enhanced damages are warranted. Pre-suit knowledge is a prerequisite for a finding of willful infringement, which is itself a prerequisite for awarding enhanced damages. The median patent damages award is around ten million dollars, and large companies like Intel, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Microsoft, and Abbott Laboratories have all recently faced billion-dollar patent infringement judgments. In this landscape, a multiplier of up to three times the compensatory damages is strong motivation for companies to purposely create a patent-ignorant work environment. Yet this advice defeats an important goal of patent law: the disclosure and dissemination of technological information. How can technology companies learn from new and nonobvious innovation disclosed in patents if their heads are stuck in the sand?

In this empirical study with data spanning 2010 to 2020, I provide a data-driven answer to whether this deliberate ignorance strategy is effective. The answer, in short, is that reading patents, conducting patent clearance searches, and/or responding to cease-and-desist letters does not, in isolation, open the door to enhanced damages. Finally, by employing an original data set to seek this answer and potential solutions to deliberate patent ignorance, this study provides empirical statistics regarding willful infringement and enhanced damages. This includes empirical statistics illustrating the impact of the 2016 Supreme Court decision, Halo Electronics v. Pulse Electronics.

As estratégias de operação dos sistemas de abastecimento de água (SAA) objetivam o abastecimento público ininterrupto, muito embora comumente negligenciem a oscilação da tarifa energética diária. Isso proporciona um acréscimo significativo no custo energético das bombas. Entretanto, além de utilizar eficientemente a tarifa, é necessário considerar também o vasto horizonte de combinações exequíveis de estratégias operacionais, a demanda hídrica variante e a manutenção dos níveis de água nos reservatórios e das pressões nas extremidades dentro de intervalos preestabelecidos. Neste cenário, realizou-se este trabalho, cujo objetivo é determinar perfis diários de velocidade das bombas de um SAA, objetivando a minimização do custo energético diário. Para isso, desenvolveu-se um modelo computacional que opera acoplado ao simulador hidráulico EPANET. O modelo fundamenta-se na técnica meta-heurística PSO (Otimização por Enxame de Partículas), sendo a variável de decisão a velocidade das bombas. Essa técnica procura por estratégias com custo energético reduzido, enquanto o EPANET analisa o desempenho hidráulico. Os resultados evidenciaram a eficácia do PSO na determinação de uma quantidade satisfatória de estratégias de operação e na redução do tempo demandado nessa tarefa. Assim, considera-se que a metodologia desenvolvida pode auxiliar a operação de SAAs, visando à otimização energética.
