Midwives Population and Antenatal Care (Anc) Service Provision in Cross River State, Nigeria: A Quantitative-Qualitative Approach
Creators: name: Ayambem, Favour Boniface
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The main thrust of this study was to assess midwives’ population and service provision at Primary Health Care level in Cross River State, Nigeria. To achieve this objective, two research questions and one hypothesis was postulated to guide the study. The adopted design for this study is a concurrent triangulation mixed method design, which utilizes both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The sample comprised of 70 mid-wives for the quantitative approach and 8 mid-wives for the qualitative approach through the use of census and purposive sampling techniques respectively. A questionnaire developed by the researcher on the type of services provided by mid-wives was used to collect data for the qualitative approach, while a focused group discussion was used to collect data for the qualitative approach. The data gathered were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics as well as qualitatively. Results indicated that only forty-four (44) PHCs have midwives while one hundred and fifty-eight PHCs have no midwife at all. The result also indicated that the one  PHC that has above 3 midwives render high quality care services to client than the 43 PHC that have below 3 midwives population has the calculated t-value of 17.225 is greater than the critical t-value of 1.980 at 0.05 level of significance and 68 degrees of freedom. This implies that there is a significant relationship between midwives’ population and ANCs service provision in PHCs in Cross River /State, Nigeria. Based on this finding, it was recommended that the presence of midwives in State Primary Health Care Development Agency should be strengthened. Nursing and midwifery council should  review the policy to establish community midwifery in Cross River State were more midwives will be trained and automatically employed to PHC level in the State
Dynamical Friction and the Distribution of Dark Matter in Barred Galaxies

description: We use fully self-consistent N-body simulations of barred galaxies to show that dynamical friction from a dense dark matter halo dramatically slows the rotation rate of bars. Our result supports previous theoretical predictions for a bar rotating within a massive halo. On the other hand, low density halos, such as those required for maximum disks, allow the bar to continue to rotate at a high rate. There is somewhat meager observational evidence indicating that bars in real galaxies do rotate rapidly and we use our result to argue that dark matter halos must have a low central density in all high surface brightness disk galaxies, including the Milky Way. Bars in galaxies that have larger fractions of dark matter should rotate slowly, and we suggest that a promising place to look for such candidate objects is among galaxies of intermediate surface brightness.

description: We consider the production and two-photon decay of the $CP$-even Higgs bosons ($h^0$ and $H^0$) of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) at the Large Hadron Collider. We study in detail the dependence of the cross section on various parameters of the MSSM, especially the dependence on the mixing effects in the squark sector due to the Higgs bilinear parameter $μ$ and the soft supersymmetry breaking parameter $A$. We find that the cross section for the production of these Higgs bosons has a significant dependence on the parameters which determine the chiral mixing in the squark sector. The cross section times the two-photon branching ratio of $h^0$ is of the order of 15--25~fb in much of the parameter space that remains after imposing the present experimental constraints. For the $H^0$ the two-photon branching ratio is only significant if the $H^0$ is light, but then the cross section times the branching ratio may exceed 200~fb. The QCD corrections due to quark loop contributions are known to increase the cross section by 50\%. We find the dependence of the cross section on the gluon distribution function used to be rather insignificant.

description: We investigate minimax estimators for quantum state tomography under general Bregman divergences. First, generalizing the work of Komaki et al. $\href{http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/e19110618}{\textrm{[Entropy 19, 618 (2017)]}}$ for relative entropy, we find that given any estimator for a quantum state, there always exists a sequence of Bayes estimators that asymptotically perform at least as well as the given estimator, on any state. Second, we show that there always exists a sequence of priors for which the corresponding sequence of Bayes estimators is asymptotically minimax (i.e. it minimizes the worst-case risk). Third, by re-formulating Holevo's theorem for the covariant state estimation problem in terms of estimators, we find that any covariant measurement is, in fact, minimax (i.e. it minimizes the worst-case risk). Moreover, we find that a measurement is minimax if it is only covariant under a unitary 2-design. Lastly, in an attempt to understand the problem of finding minimax measurements for general state estimation, we study the qubit case in detail and find that every spherical 2-design is a minimax measurement.

description: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a multifunctional cytokine abundantly present at the feto-maternal interface proposed to play a role in establishment of pregnancy. We have previously shown that pharmacological inhibition of enzymatic activity of MIF decreases extravillous trophoblast invasion and migration in vitro. This study aimed to further elucidate potential role of endogenous trophoblast MIF, and to assess its importance for endovascular trophoblast cell function in particular. Attenuation of MIF by siRNA reduced HTR-8/SVneo cell invasion through Matrigel (59 % of control), expression of integrin α1 (86 % of control) and levels of MMP2 and MMP9 (87 % and 57 % of control, respectively). MIF specific siRNA reduced the ability of HTR-8/SVneo to differentiate in to endothelial-like phenotype, as determined by Matrigel tube formation assay. The total tube length was decreased to 68.6 %, while the number of branching points was reduced to 57.8 % of control. HTR-8/SVneo cell capacity to integrate into HUVEC monolayers was reduced by knock-down of MIF. This could be partly caused by reduced N-cadherin expression to 63 % of control, which decreased with knock-down of MIF, as the expression of this protein was recently shown essential for trophoblast-endothelial interaction. These novel findings indicate a novel role for trophoblast MIF in spiral artery remodeling process.

description: The evaluation of ecosystem services (ESs) provided by Nature-based Solution (NbS) interventions is crucial to assess their efficiency and plan their management. This study focuses on atmospheric pollutants abatement and carbon mitigation potential of tree species (S. alba L., R. pseudoacacia L., C. betulus L., A. campestre L., B. pendula Roth, T. cordata MILL., S. aucuparia L.) located in a restored landfill in Dortmund (DE). Leaves from different species were analysed by Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy, obtaining density, elemental composition and weight of leaf deposited particulate matter (PM) as a function of size fraction and tree species. Experimental PM2.5 removal is compared with that obtained by the i-Tree Eco model. Modelled removals of O3, SO2 and NO2 are also presented, as well as carbon uptake, from the single tree to the intervention scale. Thus, our study evaluates the provision of ESs for air quality and climate change mitigation by the same NbS intervention, at different scales, and compares experimental and modelling approaches, to highlight limitations and strength points. This represents an important step for the developing of NbS benefits evaluation standards, also providing helpful knowledge for stakeholders and landscape planners in terms of species mitigation efficiency.

description: We present the results of long-slit echelle spectroscopy and deep narrow-band imaging of the Owl Nebula (NGC 3587), obtained at the \textit{Observatorio Astronómico Nacional, San Pedro Mártir}. These data allow us to construct an iso-velocity data cube and develop a 3-D morpho-kinematic model. We find that, instead of the previously assumed bipolar dumbbell shape, the inner cavity consists of multi-polar fingers within an overall tripolar structure. We identify three additional planetary nebulae that show very similar morphologies and kinematics to the Owl, and propose that these constitute a new class of \textit{strigiform} (owl-like) nebulae. Common characteristics of the strigiform nebulae include a double-shell (thin outside thick) structure, low-luminosity and high-gravity central stars, the absence of a present-day stellar wind, and asymmetric inner cavities, visible in both optical and mid-infrared emission lines, that show no evidence for surrounding bright rims. The origin of the cavities is unclear, but they may constitute relics of an earlier stage of evolution when the stellar wind was active.

description: Machine learning (ML) techniques such as (deep) artificial neural networks (DNN) are solving very successfully a plethora of tasks and provide new predictive models for complex physical, chemical, biological and social systems. However, in most cases this comes with the disadvantage of acting as a black box, rarely providing information about what made them arrive at a particular prediction. This black box aspect of ML techniques can be problematic especially in medical diagnoses, so far hampering a clinical acceptance. The present paper studies the uniqueness of individual gait patterns in clinical biomechanics using DNNs. By attributing portions of the model predictions back to the input variables (ground reaction forces and full-body joint angles), the Layer-Wise Relevance Propagation (LRP) technique reliably demonstrates which variables at what time windows of the gait cycle are most relevant for the characterisation of gait patterns from a certain individual. By measuring the time-resolved contribution of each input variable to the prediction of ML techniques such as DNNs, our method describes the first general framework that enables to understand and interpret non-linear ML methods in (biomechanical) gait analysis and thereby supplies a powerful tool for analysis, diagnosis and treatment of human gait.

description: Quantum anomalies are violations of classical scaling symmetries caused by quantum fluctuations. Although they appear prominently in quantum field theory to regularize divergent physical quantities, their influence on experimental observables is difficult to discern. Here, we discovered a striking manifestation of a quantum anomaly in the momentum-space dynamics of a 2D Fermi superfluid of ultracold atoms. We measured the position and pair momentum distribution of the superfluid during a breathing mode cycle for different interaction strengths across the BEC-BCS crossover. Whereas the system exhibits self-similar evolution in the weakly interacting BEC and BCS limits, we found a violation in the strongly interacting regime. The signature of scale-invariance breaking is enhanced in the first-order coherence function. In particular, the power-law exponents that characterize long-range phase correlations in the system are modified due to this effect, indicating that the quantum anomaly has a significant influence on the critical properties of 2D superfluids.

Subjects: Fabric reinforced concrete canvas (FRCC), experimental methods, durability, sustainability and RC.

description: This research was carried out to study the behavior of fabric reinforced concrete, specifically compressive and flexural strength, by incorporating recycled 3 dimensional spacer fabric as fiber reinforcement in the concrete. Another aim of the research is to determine the maximum proportion of fibers to be added in the concrete. The specimens were tested for flexural strength, tensile strength, water absorption test and fire and chemical resistivity test. Laboratory test results based on short term investigation reveals that the compressive strength and flexural strength of fabric reinforced concrete are higher than of normal ordinary Portland cement concrete. Furthermore, the environmental sustainability of FRC was evaluated in comparison to conventional RC.
 The purpose of this study is also to produce a comparative study of irrigation canal lining by the use of fabric reinforced concrete canvas. This study reveals lining irrigation canals using concrete impregnated fabric reduce the construction and maintenance cost.
 Fabric reinforced specimens with dimension of 250×250 and 150×150 were cast with PVC bottom layering having three different thicknesses 5, 8 and 13mm to measure their tensile, flexural and durability strength. The results indicated that after cracking of the mortar the textile reinforcement adds a strain hardening trajectory, that cause failure to occurs at slightly higher load and a higher strain. The improvement in tensile and flexural strength of fabric reinforced concrete at 3rd days ranged between 30 to 80%, and for 7th days between 80 to 95% of its strength for the different thickness used.

Pool-Based Sequential Active Learning for Regression

description: Active learning is a machine learning approach for reducing the data labeling effort. Given a pool of unlabeled samples, it tries to select the most useful ones to label so that a model built from them can achieve the best possible performance. This paper focuses on pool-based sequential active learning for regression (ALR). We first propose three essential criteria that an ALR approach should consider in selecting the most useful unlabeled samples: informativeness, representativeness, and diversity, and compare four existing ALR approaches against them. We then propose a new ALR approach using passive sampling, which considers both the representativeness and the diversity in both the initialization and subsequent iterations. Remarkably, this approach can also be integrated with other existing ALR approaches in the literature to further improve the performance. Extensive experiments on 11 UCI, CMU StatLib, and UFL Media Core datasets from various domains verified the effectiveness of our proposed ALR approaches.

description: This study investigated the impact of public debt on the Nigerian economy from 1987 to 2020. The specific objectives were to determine the impact of external debt on economic growth and to examine the impact of domestic debt on economic growth in Nigeria. The ex-post facto research design was adopted to enable the researcher make use of secondary data to determine the cause effect relationship of public debt on economic growth in Nigeria. The dependent and independent variables were observed over the period, 1987 to 2020. Empirical investigation was carried out on the basis of time series data collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. The unit root test performed on each of the variables in the model using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root tests showed that the variables were stationarity at level and data analyzed with Ordinary Least Square. (OLS). Findings from this study revealed that external debt impacted negatively on economic growth of Nigeria while domestic debt impacted positively on economic growth of Nigeria. Following these findings, this study recommended that policy makers should discourage external borrowing by all means and encourage domestic borrowing, while integrating appropriate measures to ensure efficient management of domestic debts

description: We study the system of axion strings that forms in the early Universe if the Peccei-Quinn symmetry is restored after inflation. Using numerical simulations, we establish the existence of an asymptotic solution to which the system is attracted independently of the initial conditions. We study in detail the properties of this solution, including the average number of strings per Hubble patch, the distribution of loops and long strings, the way that different types of radiation are emitted, and the shape of the spectrum of axions produced. We find clear evidence of logarithmic violations of the scaling properties of the attractor solution. We also find that, while most of the axions are emitted with momenta of order Hubble, most of the axion energy density is contained in axions with energy of order the string core scale, at least in the parameter range available in the simulation. While such a spectrum would lead to a negligible number density of relic axions from strings when extrapolated to the physical parameter region, we show that the presence of small logarithmic corrections to the spectrum shape could completely alter such a conclusion. A detailed understanding of the evolution of the axion spectrum is therefore crucial for a reliable estimate of the relic axion abundance from strings.

title: Novel artefacts to control subjectivity, biases and mock-bureaucracy in knowledge-intensive or ITIL framework enterprises and improving Hevner design science methodology
Creators: name: Andrea, Basil Joseph
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: Management bias, a systematic error in human thinking, has broad implications, especially in 
the employment domain, since some biases could be an unjust decision. These biases potentially divided society into the oppressed and the oppressors, often subconsciously, leading to 
injustice and both the oppressed and oppressor's disengagement from the system. 
Injustice in employment undermines the principle of hiring the best candidate. A Plethora of 
studies shows that knowledge is reduced within the environment when bias in daily activity 
and decision-making occurs. As a result, candidate selection focuses not on acquiring and developing new knowledge but on building relationships and networks. 
The motivation for this work arises from the amount of literature discussing bias and employment; there is a lack of studies that consider the system or the process as a complete system 
and then study and mitigate the problem after considering the process from beginning to end, 
because bias could start informally before the process, but the impact is inside the process.. 
Indeed several groups rightly claim that they are victims of discrimination because of employment bias, as demonstrated in this thesis. 
This study aims to develop a control mechanism, employing a design science research framework to mitigate management biases by developing an explicit management control system in 
the employment selection process. The new system focuses on knowledge as the central pillar 
of the design, employing knowledge by an extension, copying system development knowledge 
from ITIL to an adjacent domain, which is the employment process as input due to hiring to 
the corporation. 
The study employs a design science research framework as a problem-solving paradigm to 
mitigate the problem after studying the environment from all aspects and then adding rigour to 
the design. 
The study's key findings are that subjectivity in knowledge, subjectivity in the philosophical 
approach, management behaviours, and biases are the keys that cause the problem. The study 
managed to remove subjectivity from the knowledge that is subjective in nature and consider 
it as the main parameter in hiring.
Finally, this system does not aim to theorise or hypothesise but develop an artefact, a prescriptive contribution to world knowledge. This is the nature of the design science research framework in contrast to the descriptive contribution, where the researcher in descriptive contribution aims to understand phenomena and theorise from these phenomena.

description: We study $1+1$-dimensional $SU(N)$ gauge theories with adjoint scalar matter representations, based on a dimensional truncation of $2+1$ and $3+1$-dimensional pure QCD, which approximate the dynamics of transversely polarized gluons. The glueballs are investigated non-perturbatively using light-front quantisation, detailed spectra and wavefunctions being obtained for the large-$N$ limit. In general there is some qualitative agreement of the spectra with lattice Monte Carlo data from the higher dimensional QCD. From the light-front wavefunctions we calculate (polarized) structure functions and interpret the gluon and spin content of glueballs. We discuss the phase structure of the reduced theories in relation to matrix models for relativistic non-critical strings.

description: Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space can be foliated by a family of nested surfaces homeomorphic to the boundary of the space. We propose a holographic correspondence between theories living on each surface in the foliation and quantum gravity in the enclosed volume. The flow of observables between our ``interior'' theories is described by a renormalization group equation. The dependence of these flows on the foliation of space encodes bulk geometry.

description: We investigate the electronic structure of the epitaxial VO$_2$ films in the rutile phase using the density functional theory combined with the slave spin method (DFT+SS). In DFT-SS, the multiorbital Hubbard interactions are added to a DFT-fit tight-binding model, and we employ the slave-spin method to treat the electron correlation. We find that while stretching the system along the rutile $c$-axis results in a band structure favoring an anisotropic orbital fillings, the electron correlation favors an equal electron filling among $t_{2g}$ orbitals. These two distinct effects cooperatively induce interesting orbital-dependent redistributions of the electron occupations and the spectral weights, which pushes the strained VO$_2$ toward an orbital selective Mott transition (OSMT). The simulated single-particle spectral functions are directly compared to V L-edge resonant X-ray photoemission spectroscopy of epitaxial 10 nm VO$_2$/TiO$_2$ (001) and (100) strain orientations. Excellent agreement is observed between the simulations and experimental data regarding the strain-induced evolution of the lower Hubbard band. Simulations of rutile NbO$_2$ under similar strain conditions as VO$_2$ are performed, and we predict that OSMT will not occur in rutile NbO$_2$. Our results indicates that the electron correlation in VO$_2$ is important and can be modulated even in the rutile phase before the Peierls instability sets in.

description: Economics, driven by the imperative of managing scarcity, necessitates astute decision-making. The primary metric employed to assess the efficacy of resource allocation is economic growth—an augmentation in the production of goods and services within an economy. Acknowledged as a potent force, economic growth stands as a linchpin for poverty alleviation and enhancement of the quality of life, particularly in developing nations. This pursuit of economic growth resonates universally, with both developed and developing countries fervently aspiring to attain this pivotal objective (Bakari and Mabrouki, 2018)

description: We present B and I photometry for ~300 globular cluster candidates in NGC 1379, an E0 galaxy in the Fornax Cluster. Our data are from both Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and ground-based observations. The HST photometry (B only) is essentially complete and free of foreground/background contamination to ~2 mag fainter than the peak of the globular cluster luminosity function. Fitting a Gaussian to the luminosity function we find  =24.95+-0.30 and σ_B = 1.55+-0.21. We estimate the total number of globular clusters to be 436+- 30. To a radius of 70 arcsec we derive a moderate specific frequency, S_N=3.5 +- 0.4. At radii r~ 3-6 kpc the surface density profile of the globular cluster system is indistinguishable from that of the underlying galaxy light. At r \ltsim 2.5 kpc the profile of the globular cluster system flattens, and at r \ltsim 1 kpc, the number density appears to decrease. The (B-I) colour distribution of the globular clusters (from ground-based data) is similar to that for Milky Way globulars, once corrected for background contamination. It shows no evidence for bimodality or for the presence of a population with [Fe/H]\gtsim -0.5. Unlike in the case of larger, centrally located cluster ellipticals, neither mergers nor a multiphase collapse are required to explain the formation of the NGC 1379 globular cluster system. We stress the importance of correcting for background contamination: the colour distribution of background galaxies is strongly peaked slightly bluer than the peak of a typical globular cluster distribution. This can create the impression of skewed colour distributions, or bimodality where none exists.

description: We compute the boundary entropies for the allowed boundary conditions of the SU(2)-invariant principal chiral model at level k=1. We used the reflection factors determined in a previous work. As a by-product we obtain some miscellaneous results such as the ground-state energy for mixed boundary conditions as well as the degeneracies of the Kondo model in the underscreened and exactly screened cases. All these computations are in perfect agreement with known results.

description: Explicit formulas which describe muon pair production in reaction $γν\to μ^+ μ^- ν$ through neutrino magnetic moment are obtained and used to derive in the leading approximation cross section of muon pair production in $νN$-scattering due to neutrino magnetic moment. This cross section appears to be proportional to $\log^4 E_ν$. Comparison with experimental data on tridents production provides an upper bound $μ_{ν_μ} < 4*10^{-8} μ_B$, which is approximately two orders of magnitude weaker than that from $ν_μe$ elastic scattering data.

description: This study explored how English language teachers assess oral language skills in Tanzanian secondary schools. Employing a phenomenological research design, this study used observations, interviews with teachers, and document reviews to investigate classroom practices. The findings indicate that oral language assessment in secondary schools is not comprehensive, and primary assessments are dominated by debates, group discussions, presentations, dialogues, dictation, interviews, questions and answers, and computer-assisted testing. Oral language assessment seemed more beneficial to smaller classes compared to larger classes due to time limitations. The study suggests that students' oral language proficiency could be improved by strengthening both classroom and national assessments. The article also calls for the integration of formative assessment measures to ensure that language proficiency improves among learners. This study establishes that the assessment of oral language skills in Tanzanian secondary schools requires improvement, as end-of-course summative assessments mainly occur without classroom assessments to ensure students' learning progression. Thus, more emphasis needs to be placed on oral language assessment as it is essential for effective communication and job skills.

description: We consider the Standard Model with an extended scalar sector, and study the possible effects of the physics underlying such a model using an effective lagrangian parametrization. It is found that certain two photon processes offer windows where such heavy interactions might be glimpsed, but the realization of this expectation requires enormous experimental precision.

description: To date, the study of high-magnification gravitational lensing effects of galaxy clusters has focused upon the grossly distorted, luminous arc-like features formed in massive, centrally condensed clusters. We investigate the formation of a different type of image, highly magnified yet undistorted, in two widely employed cluster mass density profiles; an isothermal sphere with a core, and a universal dark matter halo profile derived from numerical simulations of Navarro et al. We examine the properties of images of extended sources produced by these two cluster profiles, paying particular attention to the undistorted images. Using simple assumptions about the source and lens population, we estimate the relative frequency of occurrence of highly magnified, undistorted images and the more commonly known giant arcs.
