      • A RFID Based Automatic Attendance System in Educational Institutions of Nigeria

        A.A. Olanipekun,O.K. Boyinbode 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Smart Home Vol.9 No.12

        As a result of the challenges of the manual method of taking attendance in schools and colleges in Nigeria, an automated attendance system needs to be adopted. The challenges include difficulty in keeping the attendance list over a long period of time, unnecessary time wastage during writing or signing, improper documentation, students forgetting to write or sign the attendance paper, lecturers forgetting the attendance list in the classroom, students writing or signing illegally for an absentee among others. This paper implements Radio frequency identification (RFID) automatic attendance system in Nigeria educational institutions which provides the functionalities of registering students, recording attendance, making decision on the eligibility of a student to sit for an examination in a course and other functions. This work eradicates the deficiencies associated with the manual attendance system with an automated approach implemented through Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The case study is Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria.

      • Molecular Surveillance Identifies Multiple Transmissions of Typhoid in West Africa

        Wong, Vanessa K.,Holt, Kathryn E.,Okoro, Chinyere,Baker, Stephen,Pickard, Derek J.,Marks, Florian,Page, Andrew J.,Olanipekun, Grace,Munir, Huda,Alter, Roxanne,Fey, Paul D.,Feasey, Nicholas A.,Weill, F Public Library of Science 2016 PLoS neglected tropical diseases Vol.10 No.9

        <▼1><P><B>Background</B></P><P>The burden of typhoid in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries has been difficult to estimate, in part, due to suboptimal laboratory diagnostics. However, surveillance blood cultures at two sites in Nigeria have identified typhoid associated with <I>Salmonella enterica</I> serovar Typhi (<I>S</I>. Typhi) as an important cause of bacteremia in children.</P><P><B>Methods</B></P><P>A total of 128 <I>S</I>. Typhi isolates from these studies in Nigeria were whole-genome sequenced, and the resulting data was used to place these Nigerian isolates into a worldwide context based on their phylogeny and carriage of molecular determinants of antibiotic resistance.</P><P><B>Results</B></P><P>Several distinct <I>S</I>. Typhi genotypes were identified in Nigeria that were related to other clusters of <I>S</I>. Typhi isolates from north, west and central regions of Africa. The rapidly expanding <I>S</I>. Typhi clade 4.3.1 (H58) previously associated with multiple antimicrobial resistances in Asia and in east, central and southern Africa, was not detected in this study. However, antimicrobial resistance was common amongst the Nigerian isolates and was associated with several plasmids, including the IncHI1 plasmid commonly associated with <I>S</I>. Typhi.</P><P><B>Conclusions</B></P><P>These data indicate that typhoid in Nigeria was established through multiple independent introductions into the country, with evidence of regional spread. MDR typhoid appears to be evolving independently of the haplotype H58 found in other typhoid endemic countries. This study highlights an urgent need for routine surveillance to monitor the epidemiology of typhoid and evolution of antimicrobial resistance within the bacterial population as a means to facilitate public health interventions to reduce the substantial morbidity and mortality of typhoid.</P></▼1><▼2><P><B>Author Summary</B></P><P>Typhoid fever, a serious bloodstream infection caused by the bacterium <I>Salmonella</I> Typhi, is a major cause of disease and death around the world. There have been limited data on the epidemiology of typhoid in many countries in sub-Saharan African, including Nigeria. Recent evidence, however, showed that typhoid was an important cause of bacteraemia in children residing in two regions of Nigeria. Here, we analyzed the whole genome sequences of 128 <I>S</I>. Typhi isolates from two studies in order to elucidate the population structure and characterize the genetic components of antimicrobial resistance. We found that the multiple <I>S</I>. Typhi genotypes identified were closely related to other <I>S</I>. Typhi from neighboring regions of Africa and that multidrug resistance (MDR) was common among these isolates, and in many cases was associated with the IncHI1 plasmid known to cause MDR typhoid. These results provide evidence that typhoid was established in Nigeria as a result of several independent introductions into the country and that there has been extensive exchange of <I>S</I>. Typhi in and around the region of West Africa. This study emphasizes the importance of surveillance to improve our understanding of the epidemiology of typhoid, which is needed to underpin public health measures to reduce the spread of disease and facilitate patient management.</P></▼2>

        ON CHARACTER PSEUDO - AMENABLE SEMIGROUP ALGEBRAS

        O. T. Mewomo,A. A. Mebawondu,U. O. Adiele,P. O. Olanipekun 장전수학회 2017 Proceedings of the Jangjeon mathematical society Vol.20 No.4

        We study the character pseudo - amenability of semigroup algebras. We focus on certain semigroups such as inverse semigroup with uniformly locally finite idempotent set and Brandt semigroup and study the character pseudo - amenability of semigroup algebra l1(S) in relation to the semigroup S: In particular, we show that for a unital cancellative semigroup S; the character pseudo-amenability of l1(S) is equivalent to its amenability, this is in turn equivalent to S being an amenable group.
