Portrayal of Women Characters in Selected Contemporary Yoruba Novels in Nigeria
No full textContemporary Yoruba novelists and critics have done tremendous works inportraying female characters in their literary production. For example,Okediji (1981) in Atoto Arere portrays female characters as mother, wife,sister, prostitute, harsh and malicious, who always keep malice againstothers. Some other novelists and critics like Olabimtan (1993), OrilaweAdigun, Sobande (1959) Rigimo Obinrin o se tu and Adeyemi (2005) OgaNiya Mi among others celebrate womanhood in their novels. They portraywomen as loving, hardworking, serious-minded and people of dignity andcharacter. This paper is a continuation of the discourse. It examines threenovels namely Fila lobinrin, Igba Oro and Eru o bodo and evaluates howfemale characters in the novels are portrayed. The feminist approach hasbeen adopted as our theoretical framework

No full textEssential oils (EOs) from Ochna afzelii leaves, stems and roots were extracted and characterised by hydrodistillation and Gas Chromatogragphy-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) techniques, respectively. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH*) method while antibacterial activity was determined using agar well diffusion and broth microdilution methods. Leaf, stem, and root oils afforded thirteen, ten and seven compounds, respectively, which were characterized by a high percentage of oxygenated sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. The major compound in O. afzelii leaf and root EOs was & beta;-Atlantol, while the O. afzelii stem EO had (E)-& beta;-ionone as its major compound. The leaf oil displayed highest antioxidant activity (IC50 = 238.14 & mu;L/mL). All the EOs showed antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, with the zones of inhibition and MIC values ranging from 12.0-18.0 mm and 2.5-10 & mu;L/mL, respectively. O. afzelii has a mild antioxidant effect, but can be a potential source of natural antibacterial agents
To what extent can non-price/income instruments influence the demand for energy?
No full textThe demand for energy is not simply a function of price and income, but can be shown also to be a function also of the underlying energy demand trend (UEDT). The UEDT captures behavioural responses to non-fiscal instruments, including technological change, but also encapsulating attitudinal responses/changes in demand that might result for instance from increased public awareness of how environmentally damaging energy use can be, hence reflecting underlying consumer preferences. This study estimates a longitudinal econometric model for the aggregate demand functions of a sample of 17 OECD countries for the period 1960-2005. This approach to modelling will enable UEDT’s to be observed for each of the countries, as well as the normal price and income elasticities. The model results will provide an indication of the extent to which price/income based instruments can be used to reduce the demand for energy, as well as indicating the extent to which consumers have responded to non-price/income instruments.OECD Aggregate energy demand; Asymmetry; Exogenous non-economic factors.
Systematic literature review of treatments used for refractory or unexplained chronic cough in adults
No full textBACKGROUND: Refractory or unexplained chronic cough (RCC or UCC) is difficult to manage and is usually treated by the off-label use of drugs approved for other indications. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this systematic literature review (SLR) were to identify and characterize the current published body of evidence for the efficacy and safety of treatments for RCC or UCC. METHODS: The SLR was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The SLRs pre-defined population included patients ≥18 years of age who were diagnosed with chronic cough. The review was not restricted to any intervention type or study comparator, nor by timeframe. RESULTS: A total of 20 eligible publications from 19 unique trials were included. Seventeen of these trials were randomized controlled trials and most (14/17) were placebo-controlled. There was considerable variability between trials in the definition of RCC or UCC, participant exclusion and inclusion criteria, outcome measurement timepoints, and the safety and efficacy outcomes assessed. Several trials identified significant improvements in cough frequency, severity, or health-related quality of life measures while participants were on treatment, although these improvements did not persist in any of the studies that included a post-treatment follow-up timepoint. CONCLUSIONS: In the absence of an approved therapy, placebo remains the most common comparator in trials of potential RCC or UCC treatments. The between-study comparability of the published evidence is limited by heterogeneity of study design, study populations, and outcomes measures, as well as by concerns regarding study size and risk of bias
