Objective:This study was undertaken to determine the likelihood of having serum total prostate specific antigen(PSA)levels ≥4.0 ng/mL and ≥10.0 ng/mL among a cohort of non-obese and obese Nigerian men with lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS).Methods:This was a prospective cross-sectional survey among men who presented with benign prostatic hypertrophy to the urology clinic of the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital,Ado-Ekiti with LUTS between January 1 and December 31,*** hundred and forty men who presented in the urologic clinic with LUTS were *** was analyzed using standard method while other clinical variables were collected using a clinical case *** logistic regression was used to estimate the odds of an abnormal PSA of ≥4.0 ng/mL or10.0 ng/mL in these ***:The mean ages of obese and non-obese men were 64.8 and 64.0 years *** mean total serum PSA were 14.8 and 13.2 ng/mL for obese and non-obese men *** analysis showed no difference(p>0.05)in the proportion of obese and non-obese men with LUTS who had a PSA threshold of at least 4.0 ng/*** logistic regression showed that,at a PSA threshold of 10.0 ng/mL,obese men had a statistically significant proportion(p<0.05).Although not significant,non-obese patients were less likely to have PSA level of ≥4.0 ng/mL(OR 0.701;95%CI 0.301e1.630)compared to obese *** same vein,non-obese men were less likely to have a PSA level of 10.0 ng/mL(OR,0.686;95%CI,0.318e1.478)in a simultaneous context of ***:Our study demonstrated that,in a sample population of predominantly native African men,there was a non-significantly higher likelihood of overweight/obese patients having a higher serum PSA level than the non-obese.A community based study is needed to further confirm this finding.

Quantum teleportation provides a ＂bodiless＂ way of transmitting the quantum state from one object to another, at a distant location, using a classical communication channel and a previously shared entangled state. In this paper, we present a tripartite scheme for probabilistic teleportation of an arbitrary single qubit state, without losing the information of the state being teleported, via a fourqubit cluster state of the form ｜Ф） 1234 = α｜10000）＋β｜1010）＋ γ｜0101） - η｜1111）, as the quantum channel, where the nonzero real numbers α, β, γ, and η satisfy the relation ｜α｜^2 ＋｜β｜^2 ＋｜γ｜^2 ＋｜η｜^2 = 1. With the introduction of an auxiliary qubit with state ｜0}, using a suitable unitary transformation and a positive-operator valued measure （POVM）, the receiver can recreate the state of the original qubit. An important advantage of the teleportation scheme demonstrated here is that, if the teleportation fails, it can be repeated without teleporting copies of the unknown quantum state, if the concerned parties share another pair of entangled qubit. We also present a protocol for quantum information splitting of an arbitrary two-particle system via the aforementioned cluster state and a Bell-state as the quantum channel. Problems related to security attacks were examined for both the cases and it was found that this protocol is secure. This protocol is highly efficient and easy to implement.

Effects of Internal Control System Deficiency on Contractors＇ Infrastructural Development Capability in the Nigerian Public Sector

引用

Chinese Business Review 2015年第12期14卷 573-582页

作者： babatunde Shakirat Adepeju University ofLagos Lagos Nigeria

Infrastructure development in Nigeria has attracted the attention of researchers in view of the attitudes of contractors and government lead-lag role playing. These attitudes led to the enactment of Fiscal Responsibility Act 2007 and Public Procurement Act 2007 to reduce internal control system deficiencies and budget indiscipline in the Nigerian public sector fiscal matters and procurement process. Ironically, despite these efforts, infrastructure development is still a problem affecting the lives of Nigerians as their poverty level is on the increase. This paper tests the effects of internal control system deficiency on contractors＇ capability in infrastructure development in the Nigerian public sector. Data drawn from a sample of 228 infrastructures were used for analysis. Two research questions on contractors＇ fiduciary obligation to government and capacity were analysed. Kendall＇s Tau-br correlation of coefficient and Chi-square X^2 statistics were employed for data analysis. Findings show that deficient internal control system strongly and directly breeds deficiency in the contractors＇ capability for infrastructure development. The paper recommends that oath of bribery should complement oath of secrecy to ensure that contractors and government agencies that are responsible for execution of infrastructure play to the rules of the ＂games＂, especially the provisions of Public Procurement Act 2007 and Fiscal Responsibility Act 2007. Public-private-partnership-initiative, such as build-operate and transfer method of contracting, should be encouraged to improve on contractors＇ capability and stewardship.

Open Journal of Epidemiology 2021年第2期11卷 189-206页

Background: The outbreak of COVID-19 has continued to threaten the existence of the human race. The novelty and unstable epidemiologic pattern of the virus had generated so much concern among the global health experts. These concerns were found to be escalated among the frontline health care workers to the extent of impeding the timeliness of the response activities. To slow down the spread of the already established community transmission through the surveillance activities, the concern of the health workers at the community level needs to be addressed. Therefore, this study assessed the concern about COVID-19 pandemic among primary health workers in Oyo State, Nigeria. Methods: This was an online cross-sectional survey conducted among primary health care workers in Oyo State between March and April 2020. Using a two-stage sampling technique, we recruited 284 respondents. A semi-structured questionnaire linked to the Google form was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25;bivariate analysis was done using Chi-square and binary logistic regression was used to identify the predictors of health workers’ concern at 5% level of significance. Results: The mean age of respondents was 45.0 ± 9.0 years. The proportion of the respondents who had good knowledge of COVID-19 was 52.5%. In the domains of concern, 66.9%, 53.2%, 51.4%, and 46.5% of the respondents expressed government-related, self-satisfaction related, work-related and social-status related concerns respectively. Male respondents were less likely to express concern about COVID-19 compared with their female counterparts (aOR = 0.39, 95% CI = 0.20 - 0.76). Nurses/midwives (aOR = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.05 - 0.85) had lesser likelihood of expressing concern about COVID-19 while middle staff (aOR = 2.5, 95% CI = 1.18 - 5.39) and income earner of ≥N200,000 (aOR = 2.3, 95% CI = 1.34 - 3.92) had higher likelihood of

Methanol extract of Tephrosia vogelii leaves potentiates the contractile action of acetylcholine on isolated rabbit jejunum

引用

Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine 2015年第9期5卷 718-721页

作者： Tavershima Dzenda Joseph Olusegun Ayo Alexander babatunde Adelaiye Ambrose Osemattah Adaudi Department of Veterinary Physiology Ahmadu Bello University Department of Human Physiology Ahmadu Bello University Department of Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology Ahmadu Bello University

Objective:To investigate the modulating role of methanol extract of Tephrosia vogelii leaves on acetylcholine(ACh)-induced contraction of isolated rabbit ***: Rabbit jejunum segment was removed and placed in an organ bath containing Tyrode's solution, and its contractions were recorded ***: ACh(2.0 × 10-10 g/m L) and the extract(2.0 × 10-4 g/m L) individually increased the frequency of contraction(mean ± SEM) of the isolated smooth muscle tissue by 47.6% ± 9.5% and 77.8% ± 66.5%, respectively. When ACh and the extract were combined, the frequency of contraction of the tissue was increased by 222.2% ± 25.9%, representing a 366.7% increase(P < 0.001) over the effect of ACh alone. Similarly, ACh(2.0 × 10-9 g/m L) and the extract individually increased significantly(P < 0.001) the amplitude of contraction of the tissue by 685.7% ± 61.1% and 455.2% ± 38.1%, respectively. When ACh and the extract were combined, the amplitude of contraction of the tissue rose by 1263.8% ± 69.0%, representing 84.3% increase over the ef ect of ACh alone. Conclusions: The findings demonstrate that methanol extract of Tephrosia vogelii leaves potentiates the contractile ef ect of ACh on intestinal smooth muscle, supporting the traditional claim that the plant is purgative.
