An evangelical voice in Africa: the worldview background of the theology of Tokunboh Adeyemo (1 October 1944-17 March 2010)
No full textAfrica was blessed with a son of the calibre of Dr Tokunboh Adeyemo. Since he only recently passed away, we do not yet have (as far as the author is aware) an assessment of the legacy of this eminent Christian leader. This article is the first preliminary evaluation written from a reformational worldview perspective.
The set-up of the investigation is as follows: Firstly, a brief out- line is given of his life history, especially his training in the Evangelical tradition. Then, the décor (the overall situation of African Christianity) that was the background against which he lived and worked is painted. Thirdly, it is followed by the strengths and weaknesses of Evangelical Christianity of which Adeyemo was a representative. Fourthly, it is indicated how Adeyemo thought in line with post-Lausanne Evangelicalism. In the fifth place a preliminary worldview evaluation of his legacy is given. To assist possible future research a bibliography of his most important publications concludes the investigation

No full textThe influence of age and sex on genetic associations with adult body size and shape: a large-scale genome-wide interaction study
No full textCorrected by Erratum: Correction: The Influence of Age and Sex on Genetic Associations with Adult Body Size and Shape: A Large-Scale Genome-Wide Interaction Study, in PLoS Genetics,12(6):e1006166. The arcOGEN Consortium should be listed as an author of this article.Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 100 genetic variants contributing to BMI, a measure of body size, or waist-to-hip ratio (adjusted for BMI, WHRadjBMI), a measure of body shape. Body size and shape change as people grow older and these changes differ substantially between men and women. To systematically screen for age- and/or sex-specific effects of genetic variants on BMI and WHRadjBMI, we performed meta-analyses of 114 studies (up to 320,485 individuals of European descent) with genome-wide chip and/or Metabochip data by the Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits (GIANT) Consortium. Each study tested the association of up to ~2.8M SNPs with BMI and WHRadjBMI in four strata (men ≤50y, men >50y, women ≤50y, women >50y) and summary statistics were combined in stratum-specific meta-analyses. We then screened for variants that showed age-specific effects (G x AGE), sex-specific effects (G x SEX) or age-specific effects that differed between men and women (G x AGE x SEX). For BMI, we identified 15 loci (11 previously established for main effects, four novel) that showed significant (FDR<5%) age-specific effects, of which 11 had larger effects in younger (<50y) than in older adults (≥50y). No sex-dependent effects were identified for BMI. For WHRadjBMI, we identified 44 loci (27 previously established for main effects, 17 novel) with sex-specific effects, of which 28 showed larger effects in women than in men, five showed larger effects in men than in women, and 11 showed opposite effects between sexes. No age-dependent effects were identified for WHRadjBMI. This is the first genome-wide interaction meta-analysis to report convincing evidence of age-dependent genetic effects on BMI. In addition, we confirm the sex-specificity of genetic effects on WHRadjBMI. These results may provide further insights into the biology that underlies weight change with age or the sexually dimorphism of body shape.Thomas W. Winkler ... Lyle J Palmer ...

Unexplained wealth and financial crime: A global perspective
No full textThis book considers the growing and emerging issue of unexplained wealth and how this issue fits within the larger challenge of financial and economic crime. The collection provides a rich and robust contribution to the dearth of knowledge in this space. Contributions are drawn from legal practitioners, academics and experts from the Global South, Global North, and the Asia Pacific who share their insights to the methods and approaches that have been utilised to tackle unexplained wealth in their respective countries. Each author provides a comprehensive critique of the current regime in addressing the issue and identifies failings. The volume further considers how unexplained wealth can be recognised as an important category, similar in this respect to fraud, bribery, corruption, and tax evasion amongst others. Establishing the issue of unexplained wealth as an independent area of research, the book will be essential reading for researchers, academics and policy-makers working in the areas of financial and economic crime, banking law and international corporate governance
Appropriateness of Intra-Operative Blood Transfusion In Children at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital. – An Initial Survey
No full textBackground: The decision to transfuse intra-operatively is based on preoperative haemoglobin (Hb), estimated blood loss and physiological variables. The visual estimate of blood loss is notoriously unreliable especially with small volumes of blood losses in children. Objectives :We sought therefore to determine the appropriateness of intra-operative blood transfusion in a sample of children Methods : All children requiring intra-operative blood transfusion between May and June 2008 were prospectively studied. Neonates and children already on blood transfusion at induction were excluded. Transfusion was prescribed at the discretion of the attending anaesthetist. The Estimated blood volume (EBV) and estimated blood loss (EBL)were determined. Appropriate transfusion was defined as blood transfusion at EBL > 15% of EBV, maximum allowable blood loss to PCV of 27% and pre-transfusion Hb < 8g/dl. Results : Twenty-five patients were studied with a mean age of 4.16 ± 3.59 years (Range 0.33 – 11 years). The mean preoperative PCV was 31.14 ± 3.53 % (range 25 – 34%). Twelve patients (48%) were appropriately transfused when MABL was calculated to PCV of 27%. Nine patients (36%) had appropriate blood transfusion at an EBL greater or equal to 15% of the EBV. Of the 12 patients that had pre-transfusion Hb measured, 2 (16.6%) were appropriately transfused at Hb < 8g/dl. Conclusion : The use of near patient monitoring devices should be encouraged as this will give an accurate assessment of Hb and appropriate indication for transfusion. Equipment should be made available to perform gravimetric estimation of blood loss as the visual method is notoriously unreliable.Keywords : intra-operative, blood transfusion, paediatric
