Abstract: The scale of violent conflict in some regions of Nigeria in recent years is unprecedented and the impact of such conflict on teaching and learning is unquantifiable. It is no longer news that pupils and teachers feel insecure with incessant school raids leading to kidnappings, schools vandalized, and some communities displaced. These amongst other political and socio-economic issues impact on the learning experience of students and the education sector. This article examines the influence of conflict on teaching and learning with particular emphasis on the achievement of sustainable growth objectives in Nigeria in the North-Eastern States. This research is qualitative in nature and secondary data relating to the Boko haram crisis was collected from textbooks, journals both online and print, documented interviews, and the broader historical narratives in the region over the last eleven years (1991-2022) was reviewed and content analysis method of data analysis was employed for data analysis. The findings revealed that there has been no appreciable change in the level of western education received by students in the region. For the narrative to happen, all the three tiers of the government- the federal, state and local government needs to take a proactive and collaborative approach towards resolving the conflict in the region so that school enrollment including the general standard of education in the north east Nigeria can be improved considerably.

Abstract: In this study, we want to show that despite the important and crucial data that health structures (hospitals, clinics, health centers etc.) manage, they do not take into account the risks of patient data leaks. As a result, these structures do not seem to favor computer audits on a regular basis in order to determine possible intrusion doors. some people think that data leaks are due to external factors which can be characterized by cyber-attacks coming from outside. Health care workers can take confidential patient information and expose it and without a security audit it would be difficult to find the fault and the person responsible, hence the interest of security audits. The research was done because we noticed that the health structures in Burkina Faso manage big and crucial data and they need to pay attention with. Data leakage situations can be crucial on the one hand for patients who will see their personal information end up in the public square and on the other hand discredit the image of the health structure and which will result in the non-attendance of this structure. In this study, the expected result is to show the existence of the negligence of health structures in Burkina Faso when managing patient data that can lead to a leak of this data, also to propose palliative solutions to the risks to which they are exposed. We went to meet the managers in charge of managing these structures in order to collect useful information and analyze it.

Abstract: Female Genital schistosomiasis [FGS] is a neglected and disabling disease that results when eggs from the waterborne parasite Schistosoma haematobium are trapped in the human reproductive tract. There is no specific action plan to address FGS due to epidemiological and clinical surveillance gaps. There is also insufficient data on FGS especially in northern Nigeria. This study sought to provide data on FGS in selected communities in Gwagwalada and AMAC area councils of FCT. The study recruited 154 women of reproductive age between [14-50 years]. Urine samples were collected from all 154 participants and subjected to a dipstick test to determine presence of haematuria, 44 [28.9%] tested positive for dipstick and was subjected to microscopy to examine the presence of Schistosoma ova. A total of 13 [8.6%] had egg-patent urogenital schistosomiasis. To verify presence of FGS directly, 6 adult women each underwent a gynaecological investigation with observed lesions as classified by the WHO FGS pocket atlas. All 6 [3.9%] presented with FGS symptoms as follows: abnormal blood vessels 31.3%, rubberey papules 25.0%, yellow grainy sandy patch 12.5% and contact bleeding at 6.3%. This study confirms FGS in FCT and calls for further investigation of this disease where urogenital schistosomiasis is endemic. There should be a specific action plan on FGS to help detect it, thereby providing data and also develop appropriate response to prevent it.

Abstract: Computer-based simulation of ship propulsion system performance parameters related characteristics was conducted with energy efficient design index (EEDI) in focus in this study. A tanker vessel-MT Diamond is selected as a case study. EEDI related studies on propulsion system conducted by several researchers are based on maximizing specific fuel consumption, trim and draft optimization, block coefficient optimization amongst other. This lent credence to the need for a research window in this direction which this research tries to filled by studying the relationship between EEDI and ship propulsive efficiencies. The computational development of modeling and simulation for this research was brought to fruition utilizing MATLAB. Focus was given to performance parameters that influence the overall performance of the propulsion system. A detailed program code was developed and implemented to simulate the behavior of some propulsion system efficiencies such as the brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc), brake thermal efficiency, ηb, propulsive efficiency, ηp, overall ship efficiency, ηsp and EEDI. The cumulative analysis revealed that the optimal ship effective power is 8.20kW at a vessel speed of 13knot and with a decay constant of 0.049s-1, the EEDI shows a commensurate improvement of 3.5% when the optimal overall propulsive efficiency of the ship is 0.507398386. Results from the simulation analysis carried out to reproduce the propulsion behaviour of the ship indicate the validity of the mathematical models. Also, improvement in the propulsion system performance parameters gives a commensurate improvement in the EEDI, specific fuel consumption (sfc) and emission level of the vessel.
