Digital Technologies, Online Engagement and Parliament-Citizen Relations in Nigeria and South Africa - Odeyemi, Temitayo Isaac; Abioro, Tunde (Perspectives on the Legislature and the Prospects of Accountability in Nigeria and South Africa, 2019)
As an institution of governance, the parliament is the soul of democratic societies. The parliament typifies the presence of the people in the running of governmental activity. It monitors the actions of public officials towards ensuring adherence to initiatives and measures that advance the people's well-being. Relations between parliamentarians and citizens are, thus, critical on two fronts. Parliament – citizen relations are important in ensuring that elected parliamentarians are responsive to the desires of their constituents; and enable the people to hold their elected representatives accountable. In bridging communication gaps between the people and lawmakers, the Internet, social media and mobile phones, as digital technologies, have prospects in enabling the desired level of citizen engagement critical to democratic practice. This chapter explores, in comparative terms, the use of digital technologies by the national parliaments in Africa's two largest economies, Nigeria and South Africa. It examines the extent to which digital technologies are used in facilitating parliament – citizen relations in the two countries and how this connects with citizens' demands of accountability on national parliaments, and links between elected representatives and their constituents. The paper draws on data obtained through measurement of the online resources, especially websites and social media pages, of the parliaments. The chapter contributes to frameworks on how digital technologies can enhance parliament – citizen relations and good governance in sub-Saharan Africa.

Effect of pregnancy on the pharmacokinetic interaction between efavirenz and lumefantrine in HIV-malaria co-infection - Adegbola, A; Abutaima, R; Olagunju, A; Ijarotimi, O; M Siccardi; Owen, A; Soyinka, J; Bolaji, O (Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2018)
Background: Artemether-lumefantrine is often co-administered with efavirenz-based antiretroviral therapy for malaria treatment in HIV-infected women during pregnancy. Previous studies showed changes in lumefantrine pharmacokinetics due to interaction with efavirenz in non-pregnant adults. The influence of pregnancy on this interaction has not been reported. Method: This pharmacokinetic study involved 35 pregnant and 34 non-pregnant HIV-malaria co-infected women receiving efavirenz-based antiretroviral therapy and was conducted in four health facilities in Nigeria. Participants received three-day standard regimen of artemether-lumefantrine for malaria treatment and intensive pharmacokinetic sampling was conducted 0.5-96 hours after the last dose. Plasma efavirenz, lumefantrine and desbutyl-lumefantrine were quantified using validated assays and pharmacokinetic parameters were derived using noncompartmental analysis. Results: Median (interquartile range) mid-dose plasma concentrations of efavirenz was significantly lower in pregnant (n = 32) compared with non-pregnant (n = 32) women at 1820 (1300-2610) ng/mL vs 2760 (2020-5640) ng/mL, p = 0.006. Lumefantrine AUC0-96 was significantly higher in pregnant women (n = 27) at 155,832 (102,400-214,011) ng/mL*h compared with non-pregnant women at 90,594 (58,869-149,775) ng/mL*h, p = 0.03. A similar trend was observed for lumefantrine C12, 2870 (2180-4880) vs 2080 (1190-2970) ng/mL, respectively (p = 0.02). Lumefantrine to desbutyl-lumefantrine ratio also tended to be lower in pregnant than non-pregnant women (P = 0.076). Conclusion: Overall, pregnancy tempered the extent of efavirenz-lumefantrine interactions resulting in increased lumefantrine exposure. However, any consideration of dosage adjustment for artemether-lumefantrine to enhance exposure in this population needs to be based on data from a prospective study with safety and efficacy end points.

Evaluation of universal versus genotype-guided efavirenz dose reduction in pregnant women using population pharmacokinetic modelling - Adeniyi Olagunju; Alessandro Schipani; Bolaji, Oluseye; Khoo, Saye; Andrew Owen (Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2018)
Objectives: Lack of data on the pharmacokinetics of efavirenz in pregnant women at the 400 mg reduced dose currently prevents universal roll-out. Population pharmacokinetic modelling was used to explore pharmacokinetic endpoints at 200, 400 and 600 mg daily doses in pregnant women stratified by CYP2B6 metabolic status. Methods: The analysis was based on 252 plasma efavirenz concentrations from 77 pregnant women (77 sparse, 175 intensive) who received antiretroviral regimens containing 600 mg of efavirenz. The model was developed using NONMEM®. The effect of genetics was investigated and concentration–time courses at steady-state were simulated for individuals (n = 1000 each) classified as CYP2B6 slow, intermediate and fast metabolizers at 200, 400 and 600 mg daily doses. Results: At a 400 mg reduced dose, predicted mean (90% CI) mid-dose efavirenz concentration (C12) was 2.24 μg/mL (0.89–4.18) in pregnant women classified as slow metabolizers, compared with 0.87 μg/mL (0.34–1.64) in intermediate metabolizers and 0.78 μg/mL (0.30–1.47) in fast metabolizers. C12 was below the 0.47 μg/mL threshold determined within the ENCORE 1 trial in 10% at 400 mg, 4.6% at 600 mg and 3.4% with genotype-guided dosing. The 4.0 μg/mL toxicity threshold was exceeded in 4.6% at 400 mg, 13.5% at 600 mg and 5.2% with genotype-guided dosing. Conclusions: These data provide context for the ongoing debate about reduction in efavirenz dose to 400 mg during pregnancy and should be interpreted alongside the lower toxicity expected with the lower dose. Additional research is required to investigate genotype-guided dose reduction in pregnant women.

Orí (Head) as an Expression of Yorùbá Aesthetic Philosophy - Ajiboye, Olusegun Jide; Stephen Adéyemí Fọlárànmí; Umoru-Oke, Nanashaitu Adu (Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences, 2018)
Aesthetics was never a subject or a separate philosophy in the traditional philosophies of black Africa. This is however not a justification to conclude that it is nonexistent. Indeed, aesthetics is a day to day affair among Africans. There are criteria for aesthetic judgment among African societies which vary from one society to the other. The Yorùbá of Southwestern Nigeria are not different. This study sets out to examine how the Yorùbá make their aesthetic judgments and demonstrate their aesthetic philosophy in decorating their orí, which means head among the Yorùbá. The head receives special aesthetic attention because of its spiritual and biological importance. It is an expression of the practicalities of Yorùbá aesthetic values. Literature and field work has been of paramount aid to this study. The study uses photographs, works of art and visual illustrations to show the various ways the head is adorned and cared for among the Yoruba. It relied on Yoruba art and language as a tool of investigating the concept of ori and aesthetics. Yorùbá aesthetic values are practically demonstrable and deeply located in the Yorùbá societal, moral and ethical idealisms. It concludes that the spiritual importance of orí or its aesthetics has a connection which has been demonstratively established by the Yorùbá as epressed in the images and illustrations used in this paper.

Palace Courtyards in Ilesa: A Melting Point of Traditional Yoruba Architecture. - Folaranmi, S. A; Ademuleya, B. A (The Yoruba Study Review, 2018)
The paper examined the state of the Yoruba old Palace Courtyards using Ilesa palace as a case study. It described the designs, construction of the old palaces courtyard and its function as a melting point of traditional Yoruba architecture. It opined that the palace courtyard design reinforces the Yoruba traditional dwellings and environment culture where the structure of the houses is built to support the people’s social and religious life. It argued that such structure gives the opportunity for a blend of function, decorative and religious elements all-in-one big space of which the courtyard is just an enclosure. The paper concluded by calling for the restoration and preservation of these edifices, noting that the architecture of a people best describes the artistic outward presentation of their belief system, sociology and creative life.

Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modelling of infant exposure to efavirenz through breastfeeding - Olagunju, A; R. K. R. Rajoli; S.A. Atoyebi; S Khoo; Owen, A; M Siccardi (AAS Open Res, 2018)
Background: Very little is known about the level of infant exposure to many drugs commonly used during breastfeeding. The aim of this study was to develop a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for predicting infant exposure to maternal efavirenz through breastmilk. Methods: A breastfeeding PBPK model combining whole-body maternal and infant sub-models was constructed from drug-specific and system parameters affecting drug disposition using mathematical descriptions. The model was validated against published data on the pharmacokinetics of efavirenz in nursing mother-infant pairs. Further simulations were conducted to assess exposure in the context of the 400 mg reduced dose of efavirenz as well as best- and worse-case scenarios. Results: The model adequately described efavirenz pharmacokinetics, with over 80% of observed data points (203 matched breast milk and plasma pairs) within the predictive interval. All parameters were within 2-fold difference of clinical data. Median (range) predicted versus observed breast milk AUC0-24, Cmax and Cmin at the standard 600 mg dose were 75.0 (18.5-324) versus 68.5 (26.3-257) µg.hr/mL, 4.56 (1.17-16.0) versus 5.39 (1.43-18.4) µg/mL, and 2.11 (0.38-12.3) versus 1.68 (0.316-9.57) µg/mL, respectively. Predicted plasma AUC0-24, Cmax and Cmin at 400 mg reduced dose were similar to clinical data from non-breastfeeding adults. Model-predicted infant plasma concentrations were similar to clinical data, 0.15 (0.026–0.78) μg/mL at the 400 mg maternal dose in pooled analysis, approximately 25% lower than simulated exposure at 600 mg. The maximum exposure index was observed in the youngest infants, 5.9% (2.2-20) at 400 mg and 8.7% (3.2-29) at 600 mg. Thirteen and 36% of 10 days-1 month old infants were predicted to have exposure index above the 10% recommended threshold at 400 mg and 600 mg maternal dose, respectively. Conclusions: This application of PBPK modelling opens up opportunities for expanding our understanding of infant exposure to maternal drugs through breastfeeding.

Plasma and breast milk pharmacokinetics of emtricitabine, tenofovir and lamivudine using dried blood and breast milk spots in nursing African mother–infant pairs - Catriona Waitt; Adeniyi Olagunju; Shadia Nakalema; Isabella Kyohaire; Andrew Owen; Mohammed Lamorde; Khoo, Saye (Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2018)
Background: Breast milk transfer of first-line ART from mother to infant is not fully understood. Objectives: To determine the concentrations of lamivudine, emtricitabine and tenofovir in maternal blood, breast milk and infant blood from breastfeeding mother–infant pairs. Methods: Intensive pharmacokinetic sampling of maternal dried blood spots (DBS), dried breast milk spots (DBMS) and infant DBS from 30 Ugandan and 29 Nigerian mothers receiving first-line ART and their infants was conducted. DBS and DBMS were collected pre-dose and at 5–6 timepoints up to 12 h following observed dosing. Infant DBS were sampled twice during this period. Lamivudine, emtricitabine and tenofovir were quantified using LC-MS/MS, with non-compartmental analysis to calculate key pharmacokinetic parameters. Results: Peak concentrations in breast milk from women taking lamivudine and emtricitabine occurred later than in plasma (4–8 h compared with 2 h for lamivudine and 2–4 h for emtricitabine). Consequently, the milk-to-plasma (M:P) ratio of lamivudine taken once daily was 0.95 (0.82–1.15) for AUC0–12, whereas for AUC12–20 this was 3.04 (2.87–4.16). Lamivudine was detectable in 36% (14/39) of infants [median 17.7 (16.3–22.7) ng/mL]. For 200 mg of emtricitabine once daily, the median M:P ratio was 3.01 (2.06–3.38). Three infants (19%) had measurable emtricitabine [median 18.5 (17.6–20.8) ng/mL]. For 300 mg of tenofovir once daily, the median M:P ratio was 0.015 (0–0.03) and no infant had measurable tenofovir concentrations. Conclusions: Emtricitabine and lamivudine accumulate in breast milk and were detected in breastfeeding infants. In contrast, tenofovir penetrates the breast milk to a small degree, but is undetectable in breastfeeding infants.

Rainfall variability and drought characteristics in two agro-climatic zones: An assessment of climate change challenges in Africa. - A. Ayanlade; M Radeny; JF Morton (Science of The Total Environment, 2018)
This paper examines drought characteristics as an evidence of climate change in two agro-climatic zones of Nigeria and farmers' climate change perceptions of impacts and adaptation strategies. The results show high spatial and temporal rainfall variability for the stations. Consequently, there are several anomalies in rainfall in recent years but much more in the locations around the Guinea savanna. The inter-station and seasonality statistics reveal less variable and wetter early growing seasons and late growing seasons in the Rainforest zone, and more variable and drier growing seasons in other stations. The probability (p) of dry spells exceeding 3, 5 and 10 consecutive days is very high with 0.62 ≤ p ≥ 0.8 in all the stations, though, the p-values for 10 day spells drop below 0.6 in Ibadan and Osogbo. The results further show that rainfall is much more reliable from the month of May until July with the coefficient of variance for rainy days <0.30, but less reliable in the months of March, August and October (CV-RD > 0.30), though CV-RD appears higher in the month of August for all the stations. It is apparent that farmers' perceptions of drought fundamentally mirror climatic patterns from historical weather data. The study concludes that the adaptation facilities and equipment, hybrids of crops and animals are to be provided to farmers, at a subsidized price by the government, for them to cope with the current condition of climate change.

A Survey of Diacritic Restoration in Abjad and Alphabet Writing Systems - Asahiah, Franklin Ọládiípọ̀; Ọdẹ́jọbí, Ọdẹ́túnjí Àjàdí; Emmanuel Rotimi ADAGUNODO (Natural Language Engineering, 2018)
A diacritic is a mark placed near or through a character to alter its original phonetic or orthographic value. Many languages around the world use diacritics in their orthography, whatever the writing system the orthography is based on. In many languages, diacritics are ignored either by convention or as a matter of convenience. For users who are not familiar with the text domain, the absence of diacritics within text has been known to cause mild to serious readability and comprehension problems. However, the absence of diacritics in text causes near-intractable problems for natural language processing systems. This situation has led to extensive research on diacritization. Several techniques have been applied to address diacritic restoration (or diacritization) but the existing surveys of techniques have been restricted to some languages and hence left gaps for practitioners to fill. Our survey examined diacritization from the angle of resources deployed and various formulation employed for diacritization. It was concluded by recommending that (a) any proposed technique for diacritization should consider the language features and the purpose served by diacritics, (b) that evaluation metrics needed to be more rigorously defined for easy comparison of performance of models.

Digital policing technologies and democratic policing: Will the internet, social media and mobile phone enhance police accountability and police–citizen relations in Nigeria? - Odeyemi, Temitayo Isaac; A. Sat Obiyan (International Journal of Police Science & Management, 2018)
The police are expected to perform functions critical to relations between the government and citizens in democratic societies. However, in Nigeria, the reality is that the police organisation suffers limitations that undermine effective and democratic policing. Although the Nigeria Police Force has a long and chequered history, its services are dogged by challenges including adversarial police–citizen relations and mutual suspicion and police misconduct. To address these problems and enhance policing, the Nigeria Police Force has deployed digital technologies through a Complaint Response Unit [later renamed the Public Complaint Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU)]. The PCRRU allows the public to connect with the police through dedicated phone numbers for calls and SMS, and a round-the-clock presence on Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Blackberry Messenger and a mobile application. Although this initiative often draws attention and commendation, it also raises doubts about sustenance and utility value. Drawing on David Easton’s input–output nexus as a theoretical underpinning on the one hand, and data sourced through expert opinion interviews and web measurement on the other hand, this article investigates how these digital policing technologies, through the PCRRU, enhance efforts at mutually rewarding police–citizen relations and police accountability, as requisites of democratic policing, in Nigeria. The findings expand discussion on the dimensions of Nigeria’s police–citizen relations and the potentials of technology in promoting positive outcomes. The findings also suggest means through which police managers can optimise technology in ways that aid strategic efforts at improving public security.
