SOCIAL SECTOR EXPENDITURES AND ECONOMIC WELLBEING IN NIGERIA: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Akidi Victor , Abdullahi Lasisi , Okeke Chioma Maureen 
Published: September 2024

Ensuring improved economic wellbeing is a vital requirement for a peaceful and stable society. However, leaving the responsibility of providing the needed ingredients for enhancing economic wellbeing to a self-interest driven institutional arrangement in a developing economy will most likely result in market failure. It is then necessary that the extra-market institution of Nigeria, given its resource capacity, intervene to provide critical social goods to enhance the economic wellbeing of its citizens. Thus, this paper empirically studied social sector expenditures’ effects on Nigerians’ economic wellbeing, over the sample period 1981 to 2022. Specifically, social sector expenditures are indicated by defence, health, education and transportation expenditures, while the Human Development Index is employed as a proxy for economic wellbeing. Data from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators and the statistical data bulletin of Nigeria’s Central Bank are utilised by applying the ‘Autoregressive Distributed Lag’ analytical procedure. Accordingly, the estimation established that the federal government’s social outlays in defence, health, and education positively and significantly influenced economic wellbeing (Human Development Index) over the short and the long runs, while transportation spendings positively and insignificantly impacted the regressand. Based on the research findings, it is concluded that social sector expenditures are indispensable and vital for improving the economic wellbeing of Nigerians. Following the empirical evidence, the researchers recommended that the federal government should, inter alia, allocate a significant portion of the defence expenditure to strategic planning and modernization efforts by investing in advanced technology, equipment, and training to ensure that the armed forces are adequately equipped to handle evolving threats.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0710/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: September 2024

This study aimed to determine the employees’ treatment and its effects on the work engagement of employees in the Department of Agrarian Reform, Zamboanga del Norte during the calendar year 2023. The study is premised on the hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between employee treatment and work engagement. Descriptive survey and descriptive-correlational research methods were used in the study. One hundred twenty-one (121) employees of the Department of Agrarian Reform, Zamboanga del Norte were the respondents of the study. Frequency count and percentage, weighted mean, Kruskal-Wallis H Test, and Mann-Whitney U Test were the statistical tools utilized in the study. The result revealed that the majority of the employees of the Department of Agrarian Reform, Zamboanga del Norte were females, 31 years old and above, earned at least masteral units, with 6 years and above work experience, and are permanent employees. The level of employees’ treatment in terms of workers’ rights, respect in the workplace, and caring relationships of the Department of Agrarian Reform, Zamboanga del Norte was very high. The level of work engagement in terms of physical, cognitive, and emotional of the Department of Agrarian Reform, Zamboanga del Norte was very high. A significant difference in the level of employee treatment when the respondents were grouped in terms of status of employment was detected. However, no significant difference was observed in the level of employee treatment when respondents were grouped in terms of gender, age, educational attainment, and years of service. No significant difference was noted in the level of work engagement when respondents were grouped in terms of their profile. A significant positive low correlation between the levels of employee treatment and work engagement was discovered. Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, the author recommends that the Department of Agrarian Reform Central, Regional, and Provincial Offices utilize the findings of this study as valuable input for a policy formulation on the reward system of the department to further encourage personnel to maintain and even improve the level of employee treatment and work engagement.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0758/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Abstract. Continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy at 35 GHz is an essential cornerstone in multi-frequency EPR studies and is crucial for differentiating multiple species in complex systems due to the improved g-tensor resolution compared to lower microwave frequencies. Especially for unstable and highly sensitive paramagnetic centers, the reliability of the measurements can be improved upon through the use of a single sample for EPR experiments at all frequencies. Besides the advantages, the lack of common availability of oversized-sample resonators at 35 GHz often limits scientists to lower frequencies or smaller sample geometries, and the latter may be non-trivial for sensitive materials. In this work, we present the design and performance of an oversized-sample 35 GHz EPR resonator with a high loaded Q value, QL, of up to 2550, well-suited for continuous-wave EPR and pulsed single-microwave-frequency experiments. The design is driven by electromagnetic field simulations, and the microwave characteristics of manufactured prototypes were found to be in agreement with the predictions. The resonator is based on a cylindrical cavity with a TE011 mode, allowing for 3 mm sample access. The design targets that we met include high sensitivity, robustness, and ease of manufacturing and maintenance. The resonator is compatible with commercial EPR spectrometers and with helium flow, as well as with cryogen-free cryostats, allowing for measurements at temperatures down to 1.8 K. To highlight the general applicability, the resonator was tested on metal centers, as well as on organic radicals featuring extremely narrow lines.

Introducción: En el marco de la implementación de estrategias de salud pública tendientes a detener el avance de las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles de origen nutricional en Paraguay se ha reglamentado el contenido de sal (cloruro de sodio) en panificados. El Instituto Nacional de Alimentación y Nutrición (INAN) realiza la vigilancia del contenido de sodio en panificados en el territorio nacional. Objetivo: Determinar la adecuación del contenido de sodio en panificados de consumo masivo, elaborados y comercializados en Paraguay, desde el 2014 al 2021. Metodología: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, de corte retrospectivo. Se utilizaron datos obtenidos como parte de la vigilancia realizada por el INAN a panificados de consumo masivo elaborados y comercializados a nivel nacional. Se analizó el sodio mediante el procedimiento AOAC 985.35., y se consideraron valores adecuados cuando la concentración de sodio era ? 600 mg/Na por 100 g de producto, según Resolución S.G. Nº 792/2015. Resultados: Se analizaron 527 muestras de panificados de consumo masivo a partir de bocas de expendio, de 16 regiones sanitarias, y procedentes de industrias comerciales (1,1%), supermercados (87,2%) y panaderías (11,7 %). Durante los años 2017, 2018 y 2021, las medianas y promedios de sodio superaron ampliamente los valores establecidos como adecuados. Se presentaron diferencias significativas en el porcentaje de muestras con valores adecuados e inadecuados de acuerdo al año de monitoreo. Las muestras de “palitos, coquitos y rosquitas” presentaron significativamente mayor cantidad de sodio en relación a lo hallado en el pan Felipe, galleta, y otros panificados (p= < 0,05). Discusión: La vigilancia, y el cumplimiento por parte de las empresas de la Resolución SG Nº 792/2015 resulta fundamental para evitar el exceso de sodio en los panificados de consumo masivo. Se requiere continuar con el monitoreo a fin de garantizar la adecuación a la legislación vigente.

PURPOSE. To study the clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with end-stage primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).METHODS. The study included 159 patients (318 eyes) with a median age of 72.2 years (64.7; 79.7), with end-stage POAG in one eye. All patients underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination, with a thorough review of medical history and records. Data were processed by a single investigator with subsequent selective verification.RESULTS. More than 50 clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with end-stage POAG were analyzed, focusing on four key factors: age, duration of follow-up, stage at the time of diagnosis, intraocular pressure (IOP), and history of incisional surgery. The IOP values significantly exceeded the target values, averaging 23 mm Hg (18; 32), indicating a need for more aggressive treatment. The mean disease duration before reaching the end stage of POAG was 3.9 years (0.7; 7.5). The progression of POAG was markedly asymmetric: patients with early-stage disease progressed to the end stage in 7 years (4; 12); those with moderate-stage disease progressed in 7.9 years (4; 11.9); and those with advanced-stage disease progressed in 4 years (2.2; 5.9). Regular monitoring (at least four times a year) was associated with a more than twofold delay in disease progression. The duration of disease ("up to" or "more than" 5 years) and previous surgical treatment ("yes" or "no") had an equal impact on disease development and its progression to the end stage, indicating that rather than the fact of surgery itself, the most crucial is the timing of surgery. Surgical intervention in patients with advanced stages of glaucoma, when followed up for more than 2 years (0.65; 4.6), was insufficiently effective, suggesting the need for earlier surgical intervention.CONCLUSION. Aiming to facilitate a personalized approach to treatment, we created a risk assessment algorithm for the development of end-stage POAG for use in clinical practice.

Authors: Lamo-Espinosa José María , Mariscal Gonzalo , Gómez-Álvarez Jorge , Font-Vizcarra Lluís , del Pozo Jose Luis , San-Julián Mikel 
Published: September 2024

Introduction:
The primary objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate and compare the functional outcomes, postoperative reinfection rates, and complication rates in patients undergoing one-stage versus two-stage surgical revision for periprosthetic hip infection.

Methods:
The study population included adult patients who had undergone revision hip arthroplasty. Comparative studies have compared two-stage and one-stage revision strategies. Searches were conducted using the major databases. Review Manager software was used to estimate the effects. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted.

Results:
Nine cohort studies including 2,502 hips were included. The success rate did not show significant differences between the groups (odds ratio [OR] 0.42, 95% confidence interval 0.05 to 3.37). No difference was noted in reinfection (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.56-1.19). Life quality per Harris Hip Score was higher for one-stage revision strategies (mean difference [MD] 9.00, 95% CI 2.23-15.78). No differences were noted in mortality, aseptic loosening, or revision rates. Age (MD 2.32, 95% CI 1.34-3.29) and body mass index (BMI) (MD 1.88, 95% CI 0.38-3.38) were lower in the two-stage group. Sinus tract presence was higher in the one-stage group (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.05-1.95). Paprosky I acetabulum was higher in the one-stage group, and Paprosky III was higher in the two-stage group.

Conclusions:
The results did not demonstrate notable clinical differences between one-stage and two-stage hip arthroplasties, regardless of the treated microorganism. However, the quality of life may be somewhat better in the one-stage group. Age, body mass index, and Paprosky classification are factors that influence procedure selection.
