description: Nigerian authors have consistently and effectively critiqued insidious connections between masculinity, political power, religious fundamentalism, and capitalist interests. The unstable political structures in Nigeria since the 1970s have led to such critiques. This essay deploys the idea of polygamy in Chinua Achebe’s Anthills of the Savannah (1987) in contrast to the exploration of polygamy in Nigerian-American dramatist Tess Onwueme’s early play The Reign of Wazobia (1988), written a year after Chinua Achebe’s novel. As a third generation African writer, and one whose work is less well recognized than other African novelists and playwrights, Onwueme occupies a relatively marginal role in the Nigerian and African literary canon. Nevertheless her work facilitates an analysis of neocolonialism, though in contrast to Achebe’s realist narrative, her evocation of myth and tradition appears to take the discussion into a pre-colonial past as in many of Wole Soyinka’s plays.

Demand and Supply Modeling of Crowd-shipping Markets
Creators: name: Le, Tho Van
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Civil engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The rise of technologies and the Internet have provided opportunities to connect logistics demand and supply using the crowd. In this system, named crowd-shipping (CS), a requester doing the shipping selects a courier via a platform. In reality, the idea of CS has been explored by many firms over the last several years. However, there is a lack of fundamental understanding of the issues related to: (1) the markets that are likely to be influenced by CS; (2) the considerations that govern the success of this system; and the (3) the impacts of CS and its design.
 To address these issues, there is a need of understanding CS system's stakeholders, such as requesters' (i.e. senders') and potential couriers' (i.e. driver-partners') behaviors as well as operations and management of CS firms. This research will address these gaps by conducting a survey to understand driver-partners' behaviors and requesters' behaviors given the CS services availability in the logistics market. Then, pricing and compensation strategies are designed and modeled based on behavior rules of supply and demand generations as well as various CS market penetrations. As such, this research addresses the CS industry in a triad of supply, demand, and operations and management.
 This research uses advanced econometrics, statistics analysis, mixed integer optimization, and data science techniques to analyze data and generate insights. The contributions of this research are to identify the contributing factors that impact the emerging logistics service. This research also reveals factors that influence the current and future shipping behaviors of requesters, as well as influencing factors of the individuals' willingness to work as driver-partners. The integrated matching and routing models have been developed to examine different pricing and compensation strategies under several market penetration scenarios. `Individual' price and compensation have found to provide the highest profit for CS platform providers.
 This research provides meaningful knowledge for stakeholders, especially for the CS firms to develop business strategies. Several remarkable benefits that CS firms can obtain include: focusing on some specific population groups to recruit driver-partners (e.g. people with children, middle-aged people having lower incomes, or no car ownership); addressing certain market segments to promote CS services (e.g. tight-window delivery packages, peripheral products, or personal health and medicine items); implementing `individual' or `flatted' pricing and compensation strategies depending on the time of the day, the day of the week, or the market penetration; and improving platform features to incorporate requesters' and driver-partners' expectations.

description: This study imagines a Sephardic archive not as a physical site that houses the artifacts, texts, and history of a nation-state or Empire, but one that allows us to access those objects (or exposes their absence) and to bring artifacts from different official archives into dialogue in a different, virtual space, thus creating an additional, but not exclusionary, epistemic home, namely that of Sephardic studies. In it the author explores the potential advantages and practical limitations, as well as existing models of transnational resources—such as the Friedberg Genizah Project and the Institute of Microfilmed Hebrew Manuscripts, as well as del Barco and Vegas Montaner’s project of cataloguing the Hebrew manuscripts in Spanish libraries—that could be considered when thinking of what form a Sephardic archive could take. This study also explores how issues of language and identity fare when translated into the metadata used to make digitized information available.

Stochastic Hybrid Systems Modeling and Estimation with Applications to Air Traffic Control
Creators: name: Lee, Jooyoung
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Aerospace engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Various engineering systems have become rapidly automated and intelligent as sensing, communication, and computing technologies have been increasingly advanced. The dynamical behaviors of such systems have also become complicated as they need to meet requirements on performance and safety in various operating conditions. Due to the heterogeneity in its behaviors for different operating modes, it is not appropriate to use a single dynamical model to describe its dynamics, which motivates the development of the stochastic hybrid system (SHS). The SHS is defined as a dynamical system which contains interacting time-evolving continuous state and event-driven discrete state (also called a mode) with uncertainties. Due to its flexibility and effectiveness, the SHS has been widely used for modeling complex engineering systems in many applications such as air traffic control, sensor networks, biological systems, and etc.One of the key research areas related to the SHS is the inference or estimation of the states of the SHS, which is also known as the hybrid state estimation. This task is very challenging because both the continuous and discrete states need to be inferred from noisy measurements generated from mixed time-evolving and event-driven behavior of the SHS. This becomes even more difficult when the dynamical behavior or measurement contains nonlinearity, which is the case in many engineering systems that can be modeled as the SHS.This research aims to 1) propose a stochastic nonlinear hybrid system model and develop novel nonlinear hybrid state estimation algorithms that can deal with the aforementioned challenges, and 2) apply them to safety-critical applications in air traffic control systems such as aircraft tracking and estimated time of arrival prediction, and unmanned aircraft system traffic management.

description: Influenza viruses (IV) cause pneumonia in humans with progression to lung failure and fatal outcome. Dysregulated release of cytokines including type I interferons (IFNs) has been attributed a crucial role in immune-mediated pulmonary injury during severe IV infection. Using ex vivo and in vivo IV infection models, we demonstrate that alveolar macrophage (AM)-expressed IFN-β significantly contributes to IV-induced alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) injury by autocrine induction of the pro-apoptotic factor TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). Of note, TRAIL was highly upregulated in and released from AM of patients with pandemic H1N1 IV-induced acute lung injury. Elucidating the cell-specific underlying signalling pathways revealed that IV infection induced IFN-β release in AM in a protein kinase R- (PKR-) and NF-κB-dependent way. Bone marrow chimeric mice lacking these signalling mediators in resident and lung-recruited AM and mice subjected to alveolar neutralization of IFN-β and TRAIL displayed reduced alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis and attenuated lung injury during severe IV pneumonia. Together, we demonstrate that macrophage-released type I IFNs, apart from their well-known anti-viral properties, contribute to IV-induced AEC damage and lung injury by autocrine induction of the pro-apoptotic factor TRAIL. Our data suggest that therapeutic targeting of the macrophage IFN-β-TRAIL axis might represent a promising strategy to attenuate IV-induced acute lung injury.

description: In this paper I look at how “Exenplo XI” is both product and reflection of the various traditions and cultures of medieval Iberia and how Juan Manuel forges a new version of this story from these inherited traditions in order to showcase problems of concern to his fourteenth-century audience, namely, the tension between ecclesiastical and Andalusi systems of thought and their representatives and how the author’s manipulation of the frame and the power of fiction itself echoes Don Yllán’s manipulation of magic to test the dean’s mettle. Then I turn to the lessons of “Exenplo XI” regarding the transmission of knowledge and who controls it, as well as the function of speculative fiction and its ability to explore alternative realities and potential futures for both fictional audience (Conde Lucanor) and contemporary twenty-first-century readers.

description: The aim of this study was to give some insights into the prevalence, serovars, phage types, and antibiotic resistances of Salmonella from animal origin in the United Arab Emirates. Data on diagnostic samples from animals (n = 20,871) examined for Salmonella between 1996 and 2009 were extracted from the databases of the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory in Dubai and from typed strains (n = 1052) from the Robert Koch Institute, Wernigerode Branch in Germany and analyzed for general and animal-specific trends. Salmonella was isolated from 1,928 (9 %) of the 20,871 samples examined. Among the 1,052 typed strains, most were from camels (n = 232), falcons (n = 166), bustards (n = 101), antelopes (n = 66), and horses (n = 63). The predominant serovars were Salmonella Typhimurium (25 %), Salmonella Kentucky (8 %), followed by Salmonella Frintrop (7 %), and Salmonella Hindmarsh (5 %). When analyzed by animal species, the most frequent serovars in camels were Salmonella Frintrop (28 %) and Salmonella Hindmarsh (21 %), in falcons Salmonella Typhimurium (32 %), in bustards Salmonella Kentucky (19 %), in antelopes Salmonella Typhimurium (9 %), and in horses Salmonella Typhimurium (17 %) and S. Kentucky (16 %). Resistance of all typed Salmonella strains (n = 1052) was most often seen to tetracycline (23 %), streptomycin (22 %), nalidixic acid (18 %), and ampicillin (15 %). These data show trends in the epidemiology of Salmonella in different animal species which can be used as a base for future prevention, control, and therapy strategies.
Low-rank Approximations in Quantum Transport Simulations
Creators: name: Lemus, Daniel A.
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Nanoelectronics

description: Quantum-mechanical effects play a major role in the performance of modern electronic devices. In order to predict the behavior of novel devices, quantum effects are often included using Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) methods in atomistic device representations. These quantum effects may include realistic inelastic scattering caused by device impurities and phonons. With the inclusion of realistic physical phenomena, the computational load of predictive simulations increases greatly, and a manageable basis through low-rank approximations is desired.

In this work, low-rank approximations are used to reduce the computational load of atomistic simulations. The benefits of basis reductions on simulation time and peak memory are assessed.
The low-rank approximation method is then extended to include more realistic physical effects than those modeled today, including exact calculations of scattering phenomena. The inclusion of these exact calculations are then contrasted to current methods and approximations.

description: In the article, we trace some aspects of development of eventivity and narrativity in Medieval and early Modern Era travel literature. Dissecting episodes of Sir Thomas Smithes Voiage and Entertainment in Rushia (1605), A Travel of Anonimous Citizen of Suzdal to The Council of Florence (15th century), Russian Primary Chronicle (12th century), and The Tale of Peter and Fevronia (1540s), we demonstrate a shift of anarrative elements such as show, performative, and declarative into narration by retelling and re-framing of initial ‘history’. Due to the process, a travel report is substituted by a new work of literature where author’s aesthetic vision dominates even though narration is quite weak and theatricality plays a significant role.

Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Twentieth century
subject: Hindi language
subject: South Asian literature
subject: Urdu language

description: This essay explores the cultural legacy of Hindustani, which names the intimate overlap between two South Asian languages, Hindi and Urdu. Hindi and Urdu have distinct religious identities, national associations and scripts, yet they are nearly identical in syntax, diverging to some extent in their vocabulary. Hindi and Urdu speakers, consequently, understand each other most of the time, but not all of the time, though they can never read each other’s texts. Their shared space, Hindustani, finds no official recognition in India or in Pakistan, but it denotes, particularly in the early twentieth century, an aspiration for Hindu–Muslim unity: the dream of a shared, syncretic culture, crafted from the speech genres of everyday life. Beginning with the colonial project of Hindustani, the essay focuses on a discussion of the works of early twentieth-century writers like Nehru, Premchand and Sa’adat Hasan Manto. I argue that the aesthetic project of Hindustani attempted to produce, not a common language, but a common idiom: a set of shared conventions, phrases and forms of address, which would be legible to Indians from all religions and all regions. By theorizing Hindustani as an idiom, and not a language, I explain its persistence in Bollywood cinema well after its abandonment in all literary and official registers. Bollywood, I argue, is Hindustani cinema, not only because of its use of a mixed Hindi–Urdu language in its dialogues, but also because of its development of a set of clearly recognizable, easily repeatable conventions that can surmount linguistic differences.

description: Die Zunahme von Übergewicht und Adipositas ist ein weltweites Gesundheitsproblem. Die von 2008 bis 2011 durchgeführte erste Welle der „Studie zur Gesundheit Erwachsener in Deutschland“ (DEGS1) liefert aktuelle Daten zu Übergewicht und Adipositas bei Erwachsenen in Deutschland. In DEGS1 wurde eine repräsentative Stichprobe der 18- bis 79-Jährigen zu gesundheitsrelevanten Themen befragt und medizinisch untersucht (n=7116). Aus Messwerten zu Körperhöhe und -gewicht wurde der Body-Mass-Index (BMI) berechnet und damit Übergewicht (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) und Adipositas (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) definiert. Die Ergebnisse werden nach Geschlecht, Altersgruppen, Sozialstatus und Region dargestellt und mit denen des Bundes-Gesundheitssurveys 1998 (BGS98) und des Nationalen Untersuchungssurveys 1990/92 verglichen. Nach Daten des DEGS1 sind 67,1% der Männer und 53,0% der Frauen übergewichtig. Diese Zahlen haben sich im Vergleich zum BGS98 nicht verändert. Die Adipositasprävalenz ist jedoch bedeutend gestiegen, und zwar insbesondere bei Männern: Nach Daten des BGS waren 18,9% der Männer und 22,5% der Frauen adipös, in DEGS1 sind es 23,3% der Männer und 23,9% der Frauen. Die deutliche Zunahme der Adipositas zeigt sich besonders bei jungen Erwachsenen.
description: The increase in overweight and obesity is a worldwide health problem. The first wave of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1), conducted from 2008 through 2011, provides current data about overweight and obesity among adults in Germany. Within DEGS1, a representative sample of the 18- to 79-year-old population was interviewed with regard to health relevant issues and physically examined (n=7,116). From measurements of body height and weight, the body mass index (BMI) was calculated, which was used to define overweight (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2). Results are stratified for gender, age group, socioeconomic status and region and compared with results from the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998 (GNHIES98) and the National Examination Surveys 1990/92. According to DEGS1, 67.1% of men and 53.0% of women are overweight. The prevalence of overweight has not changed compared to GNHIES98. The prevalence of obesity, however, has risen substantially, especially among men: in GNHIES98, 18.9% of men and 22.5% of women were obese, in DEGS1, these figures were 23.3% and 23.9%, respectively. The increase in obesity occurred especially among young adults. An English full-text version of this article is available at SpringerLink as supplemental.

Ziel der hier vorliegenden Studie war es, die Häufigkeit und Verteilung von Ein- und Durchschlafstörungen, der Schlafqualität, der Schlafdauer, des Schlafmittelkonsums sowie des Insomniesyndroms in der deutschen Erwachsenenbevölkerung zu berichten. Etwa ein Drittel der Befragten hatte während der letzten 4 Wochen potenziell klinisch relevante Ein- oder Durchschlafstörungen, etwa ein Fünftel berichtete zusätzlich über eine schlechte Schlafqualität. Unter zusätzlicher Berücksichtigung von Tagesbeeinträchtigungen wie Müdigkeit und/oder Erschöpfung ergab sich eine Prävalenz von 5,7% für ein Insomniesyndrom. Frauen waren doppelt so häufig von Insomnie betroffen wie Männer, signifikante Altersunterschiede gab es nicht. Personen mit niedrigem Sozialstatus (OR: 3,44) und Personen mit Wohnsitz in Westdeutschland (OR: 1,53) hatten ein erhöhtes Risiko für Insomnie, wobei Frauen mit niedrigem Sozialstatus (OR: 4,12) und westdeutsche Männer (OR: 1,79) stärker betroffen waren. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die hohe Public-Health-Relevanz von Insomnie-bezogenen Schlafstörungen.
description: Sleep disturbances are associated with a variety of physical and mental health disorders and cause high direct and indirect economic costs. The aim of this study was to report the frequency and distribution of problems of sleep onset and maintaining sleep, sleep quality, effective sleep time and the consumption of sleeping pills in the adult population in Germany. During the 4 weeks prior to the interview, about one third of the respondents reported potentially clinically relevant problems initiating or maintaining sleep; about one-fifth reported poor quality of sleep. When additionally considering impairments during the daytime such as daytime fatigue or exhaustion, a prevalence of 5.7 % for insomnia syndrome was found. Women were twice as likely to be affected by insomnia syndrome as men. Significant age differences were not seen. Persons with low socioeconomic status had an increased risk of insomnia (odds ratio [OR] 3.44) as did people residing in West Germany (OR 1.53). Women with low socioeconomic status (OR 4.12) and men living in western German (OR 1.79) were more affected. The results illustrate the considerable public health relevance of insomnia-related sleep disturbances. An English full-text version of this article is available at SpringerLink as supplemental.

description: Obwohl in Deutschland in den letzten Jahren verschiedene Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung des Tabakkonsums umgesetzt wurden, ist das Rauchen nach wie vor stark verbreitet und stellt ein erhebliches Risiko für die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung dar. Nach den Daten der Studie zur Gesundheit Erwachsener in Deutschland (DEGS1), die vom Robert Koch-Institut in den Jahren 2008 bis 2011 durchgeführt wurde, rauchen 29,7% der 18- bis 79-jährigen Erwachsenen (Frauen =26,9%, Männer =32,6%). Der Anteil der Frauen und Männer, die 20 oder mehr Zigaretten am Tag rauchen, beträgt 6,0 bzw. 10,6%. Am stärksten verbreitet ist das Rauchen bei jungen Erwachsenen, außerdem bei Personen mit niedrigem Sozialstatus, die auch überproportional zu den starken Raucherinnen bzw. Rauchern zu zählen sind. Der Vergleich mit den Daten früherer Gesundheitssurveys deutet darauf hin, dass der Anteil der Raucherinnen und Raucher im Verlauf der letzten 10 Jahre etwas zurückgegangen ist.
description: Although various tobacco control measures have been implemented in Germany in the recent years, smoking is still widespread and constitutes a considerable health risk for the population. According to the data of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1), which was conducted by Robert Koch Institute from 2008–2011, 29.7% of the 18- to 79-year-old population smokes (women =26.9%, men =32.6%). The proportion of women and men who smoke 20 or more cigarettes a day amounts to 6.0 and 10.6% respectively. Smoking is mostly widespread among young adults, as well as among persons with low social status who are also overrepresented among the heavy smokers. Comparison with data from previous health surveys indicates that the proportion of smokers has reduced slightly over the last 10 years.

HOMO SACER DWELLS IN SARAMAGO'S LAND OF EXCEPTION
Creators: name: Nashef, Hania
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons

Subjects: subject: Twentieth century
subject: Critical theory
subject: Portuguese literature

description: Giorgio Agamben defines the sacred man or Homo Sacer as one who is not worthy of sacrifice. Having lost all rights, the person is reduced to the non-human. In modern times, banishment or banning by the law occurs when a state of exception is sanctioned by a totalitarian supremacy that suspends judicial power. The state of exception does not lie within or outside the boundaries of the judicial order, but in a zone of indifference. The state of exception in which the norm is annulled represents the inclusion, which in turn captures the space in which law becomes suspended. Here, I discuss how the authorities in José Saramago's Blindness and The Cave function within the law of exception, confining and defining space, and ultimately marking the Homo Sacer. Keywords: Homo Sacer, Blindness, The Cave, José Saramago, Giorgio Agamben

description: The first wave of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults, 2008–2011 (DEGS1), assesses current medicine use among participating adults aged 18–79 years in the 7 days prior to the medical examination as part of a standardised interview. About three quarters (74.4%) of all men and women state that they used at least one preparation. Prevalence is highest among 70–79 year olds (men 94.9%; women 96.3%). Overall women have a significantly higher prevalence rate (85.4%) than men (63.8%). Preparations for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases are the most frequently used medicines (men 27.2%; women 29.5%). Polypharmacy (the use of 5 or more preparations) increases continuously with age and is observed significantly more often in women than in men in all age groups with the exception of the age group 70–79. Of the 20,084 recorded preparations, 71.8% are prescribed by a doctor and 27.7% are self-medicated. While there are no differences in overall medication linked to social status, a social gradient is observed in prescribed preparations and self-medication. The results presented here describe key indicators of medication use representative of the German adult population. Based on the extensive data of DEGS1, further analyses into aspects such as co- and multimedication will be addressed in the future.
Design Judgments in Information Visualization Design

Subjects: Computer graphics

description: Design form choices and information visualization outcomes remain inexhaustible, and they result from ongoing judgments about their appropriateness or effectiveness. Visualization design decision models have been widely proposed and applied. However, experts fail to explicitly study using design judgment to produce informed, professional decisions. In this dissertation, I bridge design form informational judgment gap when analyzing five studies with lab and in-situ designs individually as well as cross-case synthetically and comparably to examine the design judgments of all students working with visualization projects. The outcome stands to explain comprehensively how these student designers make judgments throughout their design process. Through analyzing several design cases, I identify the judgments enabling design moves forward and outcomes. The findings provide a robust description of designers’ design judgment activities and how the design judgment methods relate to design outcomes. These findings may also help identify gaps in information visualization education.

description: This thesis focuses on the comprehensive and thorough studies on the geospatial processing of airborne (full) waveform lidar data, including waveform modeling, direct georeferencing, and precise georeferencing with self-calibration.
Both parametric and nonparametric approaches of waveform decomposition are studied. The traditional parametric approach assumes that the returned waveforms follow a Gaussian mixture model where each component is a Gaussian. However, many real examples show that the waveform components can be neither Gaussian nor symmetric. To address the problem, this thesis proposes a nonparametric mixture model to represent lidar waveforms without any constraints on the shape of the waveform components. To decompose the waveforms, a fuzzy mean-shift algorithm is then developed. This approach has the following properties: 1) it does not assume that the waveforms follow any parametric or functional distributions; 2) the waveform decomposition is treated as a fuzzy data clustering problem and the number of components is determined during the process of decomposition; 3) neither peak selection nor noise floor filtering prior to the decomposition is needed; and 4) the range measurement is not affected by the process of noise filtering. In addition, the fuzzy mean-shift approach is about three times faster than the conventional expectationmaximization algorithm and tends to lead to fewer artifacts in the resultant digital elevation model.

This thesis also develops a framework and methodology of self-calibration that simultaneously determines the waveform geospatial position and boresight angles. Besides using the flight trajectory and plane attitude recorded by the onboard GPS receiver and inertial measurement unit, the framework makes use of the publically accessible digital elevation models as control over the study area. Compared to the conventional calibration and georeferencing method, the new development has minimum requirements on ground truth: no extra ground control, no planar objects, and no overlap flight strips are needed. Furthermore, it can also solve the problem of clock synchronization and boresight calibration simultaneously. Through a developed two-stage optimization strategy, the self-calibration approach can resolve both the time synchronization bias and boresight misalignment angles to achieve a stable and correct solution. As a result, a consistency of 0.8662 meter is achieved between the waveform derived digital elevation model and the reference one without systematic trend. Such experiments demonstrate the developed method is a necessary and more economic alternative to the conventional, high demanding georeferencing and calibration approach, especially when no or limited ground control is available.

description: To study the associations of annoyance to noise and exposure to residential traffic with sociodemographic, socioeconomic and regional characteristics as well as housing conditions, a population-based sample of 7,988 adults 18–79 years of age was studied in the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1). Annoyance to noise and exposure to residential traffic were assessed by self-administered questionnaires. A total of 6.3% of the participants reported a high to very high exposure to residential traffic noise, 3.7% to neighbourhood noise and 2.1% to aircraft noise. An excessive exposure to residential traffic was reported by 21.3% of the participants. A high annoyance to traffic and neighborhood noise was associated with a lower equivalised disposable income and poor housing conditions. Additionally annoyance to neighborhood noise was associated with low socioeconomic and occupational status. A high annoyance to aircraft noise was only associated with a low equivalised disposable income and living in apartment blocks. Exposure to residential traffic was associated with all investigated indicators. At present in Germany environmental exposures are social unequally distributed and may lead to negative health consequences in social disadvantaged groups.
Measuring the State of Indiana's Cybersecurity
Creators: name: Lerums, James E.
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: System and network security

description: This dissertation introduces a scorecard to enable the State of Indiana to measure the cybersecurity of its public and private critical infrastructure and key resource sector organizations. The scorecard was designed to be non-threatening and understandable so that even small organizations without cybersecurity expertise can voluntarily self-asses their cybersecurity strength and weaknesses. The scorecard was also intended to enable organizations to learn, so that they may identify and self-correct their cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The scorecard provided quantifiable feedback to enable organizations to benchmark their initial status and measure their future progress.
Using the scorecard, the Indiana Executive Council for Cybersecurity launched a Pilot to measure cybersecurity of large, medium, and small organizations across eleven critical infrastructure and key resources sectors. This dissertation presents the analysis and results from scorecard data provided by the Pilot group of 56 organizations. The cybersecurity scorecard developed as part of this dissertation has been included in the Indiana Cybersecurity Strategy Plan published September 21, 2018.

description: Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis D virus (HDV) infections are major public health problems in sub-Saharan Africa. Whereas it is known that HBV infection is endemic in Nigeria, there is only little data about HDV prevalence available. Here, we assessed the HDV seroprevalence and determined the HDV and HBV genotypes distribution among HBsAg positive individuals in Southwestern Nigeria. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 188 serum samples from HBsAg positive outpatients recruited at four tertiary hospitals in Southwestern Nigeria. Anti-HDV antibodies were detected by ELISA while HDV-RNA was detected by RT-PCR. Sequencing followed by phylogenetic analyses and HBV genotype-specific PCR were used to characterize HDV and HBV genotypes, respectively. Results: Out of 188 HBsAg positive serum samples, 17 (9 %) showed detectable HDV-RNA. Anti-HDV antibodies test was possible from 103 samples and were observed in 4.9 % (5/103) patients. There was no significant difference in HDV prevalence between four main cities across the country. 64.7 % of HDV-RNA positive samples were from males and 35.3 % from females (P
