Parameterizing the Sea Surface Drag Coefficient over Aiyetoro in Ilaje Local Government Area, Ondo State, Southwestern Nigeria
No full textOcean surface waves and upper sea circulation are primarily propelled by wind force and are usually expressed in terms of sea surface drag coefficient (cd) that increases with sea surface roughness and wind speed. This work discussed the cd parameterization at Aiyetoro, Ilaje Local Government Area, Ondo State, Southwestern Nigeria, to quantify the exchange of momentum in this region, The dependence of cd on some one hourly averaged variables sourced from ERA5 Reanalysis over a 71 year period (1950–2020) was clearly analysed. Results of the monthly mean and variability of cd and u10 over the study area showed that November had the lowest monthly mean cd and u10, with values of 0.000825 and 3.38 m/s, respectively, and August had the highest values of 0.001031 and 5.66 m/s, respectively. Furthermore, the cd variability is lowest (63.24%) in November and highest (106.35%) in August. The variability for u10 is lowest in March (198.18%) and greatest in October (304.37%). For the study location, five parameterizations, were statistically evaluated for the predictive power of cd on an annual, seasonal and monthly basis. Furthermore, the cd showed improved performance when using monthly values than when using annual and seasonal values. The equations yielded better performance in the wet season than in the dry season
Monitoring and Evaluation Practices on Building Construction Project Delivery among Tertiary Institutions of Ondo State, Nigeria
Get PDFThe objectives of this paper are to monitor and evaluate the practices on building construction project delivery among tertiary institutions in Ondo State, Nigeria, using appropriate standard methods adopting a survey design technique administered to 105 construction professionals with an 81% response rate. Multiple analytical techniques of descriptive and appropriate inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The results, using multiple logistic regression, reveal that benchmarking, earned value analysis, feasibility studies, key performance indicators, program evaluation and review technique, balance scorecard, and work breakdown structure significantly affected the delivery of building construction projects of the tertiary institutions in Ondo State, Nigeria. The study recommends that higher institutions in the study area should not relent in their M&E strategies for the continuous and timely delivery of building construction projects. Additionally, M&E techniques such as program evaluation review, work breakdown structure, and earned value analysis could be improved upon for enhanced delivery of building construction projects of tertiary institutions in Ondo State, Nigeria

Circulation of Lassa virus across the endemic Edo-Ondo axis, Nigeria, with cross-species transmission between multimammate mice
Get PDFWe phylogenetically compared sequences of the zoonotic Lassa virus (LASV) obtained from Mastomys rodents in seven localities across the highly endemic Edo and Ondo States within Nigeria. Sequencing 1641 nt from the S segment of the virus genome, we resolved clades within lineage II that were either limited to Ebudin and Okhuesan in Edo state (2g-beta) or along Owo-Okeluse-Ifon in Ondo state (2g-gamma). We also found clades within Ekpoma, a relatively large cosmopolitan town in Edo state, that extended into other localities within Edo (2g-alpha) and Ondo (2g-delta). LASV variants from M. natalensis within Ebudin and Ekpoma in Edo State (dated approximately 1961) were more ancient compared to those from Ondo state (approximately 1977), suggesting a broadly east-west virus migration across south-western Nigeria; a pattern not always consistent with LASV sequences derived from humans in the same localities. Additionally, in Ebudin and Ekpoma, LASV sequences between M. natalensis and M. erythroleucus were interspersed on the phylogenetic tree, but those from M. erythroleucus were estimated to emerge more recently (approximately 2005). Overall, our results show that LASV amplification in certain localities (reaching a prevalence as high as 76% in Okeluse), anthropogenically-aided spread of rodent-borne variants amidst the larger towns (involving communal accommodation such as student hostels), and virus-exchange between syntopic M. natalensis and M. erythroleucus rodents (as the latter, a savanna species, encroaches southward into the degraded forest) pose perpetual zoonotic hazard across the Edo-Ondo Lassa fever belt, threatening to accelerate the dissemination of the virus into non endemic areas
Fish Farmers’ Attitude Toward Agricultural Insurance Scheme in Ondo State Nigeria
Get PDFThe study assessed fish farmers’ attitude towards Agricultural Insurance Scheme (AIS) in Ondo State, Nigeria. A three-staged sampling procedure was adopted to select the respondents for the study. Ondo State is divided into four agricultural zones namely; Ondo zone, Owo zone, Ikare zone and Okitipupa zone. At the first stage, two LGAs were purposively selected from each of the four agricultural zones based on their pronounced involvement in fish farming. The second stage involved a random selection of two communities from each of the selected LGAs making a total of sixteen communities. The last stage was a proportionate sampling of 20 percent of the fish farmers in the sixteen communities making a total of 295 respondents out of 1728 registered fish farmers in Ondo State. Data were obtained through structured questionnaire were analysed using descriptive statistics and mean score from a five point Likert type of scale. The study showed the mean age of fish farmers to be 44.6±10.1years and majority (83.4%) were married. The mean household size was 5±2 and about 96% was able to read and write. The mean years of fish farming experience was 13.54±11.9 and all of them were smallholders. The study revealed further that that more than half (57.3%) of the respondents had neutral attitude, 23.7 per cent had favourable attitude while 19 per cent had unfavourable attitude towards AIS. They perceived that Insurance belongs to God and not any insurance company (M= 1.8) and that small scale farmer do not really need to insure their farms, (M= 1.8). The study recommended that the respondents should be empowered to increase their scale of fish production as this might change their attitude to the scheme. Also, government should re-subsidize agricultural insurance to enable serious farmers afford the premium.

Aflatoxin contamination of maize vended in Ondo state, Nigeria, and health risk assessment
Get PDFAflatoxin contamination of maize is a serious food safety problem worldwide. Despite the widespread consumption of maize in Nigeria, there is limited data on aflatoxin contents of maize vended in open markets in Ondo state, Nigeria. A total of 140 maize samples randomly purchased from major markets in four locations in Ondo state, were screened for total aflatoxins using an ELISA method. Exposure and health risk assessments were performed for the maize consumers by the deterministic and Margin of exposure (MOE) approaches, respectively. About 99% of the maize were contaminated with total aflatoxins (range: 0.65–265 µg/kg; mean: 125.9 µg/kg). Aflatoxin levels exceeding the 4 µg/kg set by the European Union for total aflatoxins were found in 88% of the maize whilst more than one half contained at least 100 µg/kg aflatoxins. The average probable daily intake values were 830, 332 and 138 ng/kg bw/day for the average children, adolescent and adult populations, respectively. Consequently, MOEs for the respective populations were 0.20, 0.51 and 1.23, suggesting a high level of health risk for consumers of maize vended in open markets in Ondo state due to high aflatoxin levels. Maize farmers and households in Ondo state need urgent aflatoxin mitigation interventions
Genetic Diversity and Detection of Respiratory Viruses Excluding SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Gabon, 2020–2021
No full textAcute respiratory infections are a major global burden in resource-limited countries, including countries in Africa. Although COVID-19 has been well studied since the pandemic emerged in Gabon, Central Africa, less attention has been paid to other respiratory viral diseases, and very little data are available. Herein, we provide the first data on the genetic diversity and detection of 18 major respiratory viruses in Gabon during the COVID-19 pandemic. Of 582 nasopharyngeal swab specimens collected from March 2020 to July 2021, which were SARS-CoV-2 negative, 156 were positive (26%) for the following viruses: enterovirus (20.3%), human rhinovirus (HRV) (4.6%), human coronavirus OC43 (1.2%), human adenovirus (0.9%), human metapneumovirus (hMPV) (0.5%), influenza A virus (IAV) (0.3%), and human parainfluenza viruses (0.5%). To determine the genetic diversity and transmission route of the viruses, phylogenetic analyses were performed using genome sequences of the detected viruses. The IAV strain detected in this study was genetically similar to strains isolated in the USA, whereas the hMPV strain belonging to the A2b subtype formed a cluster with Kenyan strains. This study provides the first complete genomic sequences of HRV, IAV, and hMPV detected in Gabon, and provides insight into the circulation of respiratory viruses in the country.長崎大学学位論文 学位記番号:博(医歯薬)乙第64号 学位授与年月日:令和6年9月4日Author: Georgelin Nguema Ondo, Yuri Ushijima, Haruka Abe, Saïdou Mahmoudou, Rodrigue Bikangui, Anne Marie Nkoma, Marien Juliet Veraldy Magossou Mbadinga, Ayong More, Maradona Daouda Agbanrin, Christelle M.
