Nigeria's Role in the Promotion of Peace and Security in the Gulf of Guinea through Multilateral Cooperation 2001-2022

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: AbstractThis work examines Nigeria’s role in promoting peace and security in the Gulf of Guinea region. The regional security theory (RST), which highlights the link of interdependent relationships among states within a region, serves as the theoretical framework of thestudy. The objective of the research is to evaluate Nigeria’s contributions to peace and security through multilateral cooperation in the Gulf of Guinea region. The study utilizes secondary data from credible sources such as official reports, policy documents, books, diplomatic records, magazines, Newspapers, internet sources, and academic literature. Documentary evidence was used to analyze the data obtained. The data collection process follows specific criteria for relevance, reliability, and credibility. The findingsreveal that Nigeria to promote peace and security in the Gulf Region, actively engages in multilateral initiatives and collaborations, such as those within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) since its establishment in 1975, the YaoundéArchitecture since 2013, and the Gulf of Guinea Commission (GGC) since 2001. In addition, to promote peace and security Nigeria participates in joint patrols, intelligence sharing, capacity building, and collaborative efforts to address maritime securitychallenges. The study highlights the importance of international cooperation and partnerships in supporting Nigeria’s efforts. Consequently, the work emphasizes the significance of fostering closer collaboration among the Gulf of Guinea countries toenhance maritime security in the area. Collaboration with shipping companies, naval industry stakeholders, and port authorities is essential for sharing information, implementing best practices, and developing joint initiatives to improve securitymeasures and promote a safe operating environment. While progress has been made, the work underscores challenges related to limited resources, capacity gaps, and memberstates coordination. It emphasizes the need for sustained commitment, cooperation, and investment in capacity building and technology to address peace and security challenges in the Gulf of Guinea. The work suggests further research to explore the effectiveness of multilateral initiatives, Nigeria’s domestic factors, non-traditional security threats, regional dynamics and cooperation, and gender and inclusivity considerations in Nigeria’s promotion of peace and security in the Gulf of Guinea.Keywords: Role, promotion, peace, security, cooperation

description: Genus Wandesia Schechtel, 1912
Pseudowandesia Habeeb, 1958 syn. nov.
The two species described below bridge the gap previously assumed to separate the subgenus Pseudowandesia (with dish-like, unstalked Ac, see Habeeb 1958) from Wandesia s.str. (with cupuliform Ac on stalks). Ac of water mites are plesiotypically located on a basal sclerite which may be reduced to a fine, nearly invisible ring, in other cases fused to surrounding sclerite plates, or extended to a cylindrical stalk which elevates the Ac over the idiosoma surface. As generally observed in other hydryphantid subfamilies, the length of such stalks differs species-specifically also in Wandesia. All intermediate situations are possible between nearly invisible (absent?) stalks (species previously attributed to Pseudowandesia), rather short stalks (the species described here from Madagascar), and stalks elongated to a various degree (species previously attributed to Wandesia s.str.). This character is obviously not suitable for grouping species in the genus, and Pseudowandesia is therefore considered a junior synonym of Wandesia.

description: The long term goal of the Shellfish Inventory Project has been to determine the distribution and abundance of commercially valuable molluscan shellfish within New Jersey's coastal estuaries. This inventory provides data from the second segment (July 1, 1986 to August 31, 1987) of the continuation of a program begun in 1983 to sample shellfish, particularly hard clams. 188 stations were sampled in Little Egg Harbor Bay, from Manahawkin to Holgate. Biological investigations were also conducted for 40 prospective lease applications received for areas from Little Egg Harbor in Ocean County to Great Sound in Cape May County. Further data are included for the continuing Hard Clam Relay Monitoring Program in Raritan and Sandy Hook Bays, rivers in Monmouth County, and Tuckerton Creek and Cove in Ocean County. Finally, the Mullica River oyster beds were monitored for setting success, survival, and overall bed condition.

Figs 1-4
HOLOTYPE: MHNG, ♁, CEYLAN Central, Kandy 600 m, 15.I. 170, leg. Mussard, Besuchet & Löbl / HOLOTYPE Rugilus (Eurystilicus) mahanuvaraensis des. 2013 G. de Rougemont.
DESCRIPTION: Head and pronotum pale reddish brown; elytra fuscous, the anterior and posterior 1/6 th yellowish, this colour not clearly demarcated from the dark part; abdominal tergites brown, the posterior 1/3 rd of seventh and eighth testaceous; palpi and antennae rufo-testaceous, legs pale testaceous (the specimen is somewhat teneral, the usual colour is therefore probably darker).
Habitus (fore-body) as in Fig. 1. Labrum with two small triangular teeth, without a noticeable median emargination. Head slightly transverse, the posterior angles broadly rounded but well marked, the puncturation very fine and dense, comparable to that of most Eurystilicus species, with one post-antennal and three post-ocular setae. Eyes about as wide as temples. Pronotum slightly elongate, with prominent anterior angles and sides strongly retracted to posterior angles, the puncturation similar to that of head, without a trace of an impunctate mid-longitudinal band, and with a stout humeral seta on each side. Elytra transverse, slightly longer and much broader than pronotum, the fine puncturation not very dense, and with numerous irregularly scattered larger nonsetiferous punctures, these punctures mostly not shallow, sub-conical with rounded rims as in most Eurystilcus species, but deep, with sharp rims, looking rather like needle pricks in modeling clay. Abdomen very finely and densely punctate.
Male: abdominal sternite VII unmodified; sternite VIII (Fig. 2) with a large apical emargination, the apical angles with 4-5 black setae of various lengths. Aedeagus (Figs 4-5) atypical of the subgenus, with very long narrow dorsal blade of the median lobe and characteristic structure of the ventral blade.
REMARKS: This new species does not fit readily in the key to the Oriental species given by Assing (2012). It runs to couplet 47 (-): species with “additional nonsetiferous punctures of elytra less coarse, more clear-cut, and usually more or less randomly distributed. …”, but differs from all five species included between couplets 50 to 53 in the elytral puncturation described above (Fig. 2), and especially in the unusual type of aedoeagus (Figs 3-4).

Stochastic defense against complex grid attacks

description: We describe stochastic defense mechanisms designed to detect sophisticated grid attacks involving both physical actions (including load modification) and sensor output alteration. The initial attacks are undetectable under a full AC power flow model even assuming ubiquitous sensor placement, while hiding large line overloads. We first show that such attacks can be computed in the case of large transmission systems. The defensive techniques apply network control actions that change voltages in a random fashion, and additionally introduce (random) low-rank corrections to covariance matrices.
