Nigeria’s Corruption Score Card

Abstract Corruption in Nigeria is so lucrative that the threat of jail term is not enough to deter perpetrators, and the president’s body language is also worsening the situation. The National Bureau of Statistics has estimated $4.6 billion as the cost of corruption in Nigeria, confirming the country’s worsening Corruption Perceptions Index of the Transparency International. Nigeria’s 2018 CPI ranking became worst-off after scoring 27 out of 100 points, far below the world average of 43, and Sub-Sahara Africa average of 32.02. Given that Transparency International relies on the perception of institutions rather than measuring actual corruption experiences of the citizens, this study is set out to capture the experience of the latter. The study employs a quantitative research methodology based on a sociological questionnaire. The findings reveal robust evidence that corruption reacts to standard economic incentives, as it is tagged as an economic cost of getting the job done. Corruption, therefore, became institutionalized and thus a telling effect on the emerging political culture and behavior. The anticorruption strategy has also been that of media trial and seizure of accused persons’ assets. Hence the effects of anti-corruption policies are often weakening as businessmen, politicians and public officials often find alternate strategies for rent seeking.

Effectiveness of pneumococcal Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine against pneumonia in children: A cluster-randomised trial

BackgroundPneumococcal conjugate vaccines have potential to prevent significant proportion of childhood pneumonia. Finnish Invasive Pneumococcal disease vaccine trial was designed to assess the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of the 10-valent pneumococcal Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV10) against several outcomes. We now report results for pneumonia. MethodsIn this nationwide, cluster-randomised, double-blind trial, children younger than 19 months received PHiD-CV10 in 52 clusters or hepatitis vaccines as control in 26 clusters. Infants younger than 7 months at the first vaccination received either 3+1 or 2+1 vaccination schedule, children aged 7–11 months received 2+1, and those 12–18 months of age two-dose schedule. All hospitalizations and outpatient visits to hospital associated with ICD-10 codes compatible with pneumonia were identified through the National Care Register and 1–3 frontal chest X-ray images per event were collected. External readers who were unaware of the patients’ vaccination status retrospectively interpreted the images. The evaluated outcomes were hospital-diagnosed, hospital-treated pneumonia as primary diagnosis, and radiologically confirmed pneumonia during the blinded, intention-to-treat follow-up period from the first vaccination to the end of 2011. Total VE was calculated as 1 minus rate ratio of all pneumonia episodes. Results47 366 children were enrolled from February 2009, to October 2010. VE against all episodes of hospital-diagnosed pneumonia was 27% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 14%, 38%), 32% (95% CI: 3%, 52%), and 23% (95% CI: −5%, 44%) in subjects enrolled at age <7, 7–11, and 12–18 months, respectively. Corresponding rate reductions were 3.4, 4.7, and 2.5 per 1000 person-years. VE estimates against pneumonia with alveolar consolidation or pleural effusion (WHO criteria) in the three cohorts were 45% (95% CI: 26%, 60%), 56% (95% CI: 14%, 77%), and 48% (95% CI: 2%, 73%), respectively. ConclusionPHiD-CV10 vaccination remarkably reduced disease burden due to pneumonia in infants and young children. Clinical trial registrationMain trial NCT00861380, nested carriage and otitis media trial NCT00839254 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

JOURNALISM: NEW TRENDS AND ITS IMPACT ON RIGHT TO PRIVACY. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO INDIA

Investigative Journalism is the act of the journalists which goes beyond simple reporting of events in the press. It involves newsgathering by taking an initiative to get the required information. The information in this case is not easily available. The extra effort taken for this type of newsgathering is termed investigative journalism. This method has gained great momentum in India. The need for this study is motivated by the fact that though India is a party to United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the subsequent ICCPR 1966, it has failed to make Privacy a part of the Indian Constitution while Press is accepted as a fundamental right. Today the press in India like in other nations is under the control of multinationals, which use this as a weapon to dictate the government and the masses. It is in this scenario that this study becomes relevant, where due to lack of legislative intent the media has become an unbridled horse. This makes an individual vulnerable to media attacks and trials. This study will focus on Indian position and make a comparative analysis of the position in other nations which have a strong impact on Indian decision making and make suggestions to bring in importance for Privacy in India. The method adopted to collect data for this study is through literature survey and review.

The effects of ventilation tubes versus no ventilation tubes for recurrent acute otitis media or chronic otitis media with effusion in 9 to 36\xa0month old Greenlandic children, the SIUTIT trial: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

BackgroundThe prevalence of otitis media in Greenlandic children is one of the highest in the world. International studies have shown that otitis-prone children may benefit from tubulation of the tympanic membrane. However, it is unknown whether these results can be applied to Greenlandic children and trials on the effects of ventilation tubes in high-risk populations have, to our knowledge, never been conducted.MethodsThe trial is an investigator-initiated, multicentre, randomized, blinded superiority trial of bilateral ventilation tube insertion versus treatment as usual (no tube) in Greenlandic children aged 9–36 months with chronic otitis media with effusion or recurrent acute otitis media. With randomization stratified by otitis media subtype and trial site, a type 1 error of 5% and a power of 80%, a total of 230 participants are needed to detect a decrease of two visits to a health clinic during 2 years, which is considered the minimal clinical relevant difference. The primary outcome measure will be assessed blindly by investigating medical records. Secondary outcome measures are number of episodes of acute otitis media, quality of life, number of episodes of antibiotics administration and proportion of children with tympanic membrane perforations.DiscussionThis trial will provide evidence-based knowledge of the effects of ventilation tubes in children with middle ear infections from the high-risk Greenlandic population. Furthermore, this trial will improve the understanding of conducting randomized clinical trials in remote areas, where management of logistical aspects is particularly challenging.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02490332.

India, Nationalism and Sedition Debate: Media Trial of JNU Outrage

The contemporary debate between patriotic nationalism and the freedom of has sparked off in the wake of JNU students ’union president arrest on the charges of sedition post the organization of a cultural program. The incident infuriated debate amongst the country's highest intellectuals, parliamentarians, journalists and many others across the globe over phrases such as Nationalism, Sedition & Freedom of expression for such a vast and vibrant democracy. The present case study was done to emphasize comparable cases in the past and to help the public broaden their knowledge of the views of nationalism and the laws governing ‘freedom of speech ’and ‘sedition ’according to the Indian constitution. Through content analysis, various news articles were explored, with opposite standpoints, on the incident with related facts. The study aims to underline the difference between dissent against the ruling government and sedition that spells the fact that the existing colonial-era law needs to be amended. The medium that sustains the process of shaping and reshaping the consensus is largely media in its varied forms, but a medium like media shape one's thoughts, passions, and aversions towards significant political and socio-cultural entities as important as nation or nationalism is the debate here. It is answered through the case study which also questions the role of a media reporting on the treatment of such sensitive issues like Nationalism.

Online Voucher Sales System for the National Aptitude Test 2013

This case presents the real-life situation of a convener who has initiated the task of implementing an online voucher sales system to collect the fees from candidates for a National Aptitude Test. The IT application was to be developed by an external vendor, but a few days before the application’s launch, the vendor’s point of contact informed the convener that development had been delayed. This placed the convenor in a difficult situation because he had already announced the launch through the national media. The options available to him were rather few. He was faced with the dilemma of whether to announce the non-availability of online voucher system to the public and face the media trial or to explore the option of pushing the external vendor further to meet the deadline. The second option required him to coordinate with the senior management of the vendor company. In any case, the timelines were tight, and he had to make the decision promptly. It would be a difficult situation for the convener, in case the application failed.

P044: HEADSTRONG: helmet education, advocacy, distribution &amp; social media trial to reduce obstacles &amp; nudge group behaviour

Introduction: Head injury is a major cause of bicycling-related disability and death, and more likely to occur in unhelmeted riders. Legislation regarding helmet use varies by province. In Ontario, helmet use is not mandatory for cyclists &gt;= age 18, and approximately 50 % of adult cyclists do not routinely wear helmets. Non-legislative approaches to increase helmet use have included education, public health campaigns, and helmet giveaways, but sustained effect is typically limited. The goal of the HEADSTRONG Behaviour Study is to identify injured adult cyclists who do not regularly wear helmets, and effect sustained helmet use. The strategy incorporates evidence-based elements of health behaviour change, including: reducing barriers, education and modelling, providing necessary materials, and social support. Methods: Prospective cohort study in downtown Toronto teaching hospital, launched Nov 2015. ED clinician (EP or NP) will recruit injured cyclists (consecutive, convenience sample) who report not regularly wearing a helmet nor owning a suitable one. Study endpoint: 100 enrolled (to estimate prevalence of usage of +/- 10%, alpha 0.05, power &gt;90%, assuming 80% study completion and 50 % helmet wearing at 12 months). Exclusion criteria: unable to consent, admitted to hospital, age &lt;18. Each element of the HEADSTRONG Behaviour Strategy is intended to facilitate patient adoption and maintenance of the desired behaviour, including: 1) enrolment/education by research associate while still in the ED; 2) provision and fitting of a free bicycle helmet; 3) social contract commitment and tailored reminders to document ongoing helmet use: participant agrees to respond to brief electronic survey follow-ups at two weeks, two months, six months, and twelve months; 4) social media engagement with participation in the HEADSTRONG Twitter group, which engages other enrolees and cycling advocacy groups; 5) peer nomination: the participant who is complying with the social contract is encouraged to nominate an uninjured non helmet-wearing colleague to enrol in the study. Results: Primary outcomes include: recruitment rate, enrolment, and sustained participation through follow-up period. Secondary outcomes include age, gender and social demographics of helmet recipients, and participation of peers. Conclusion: Discussion of strategy and interim results at six month interval will be presented at CAEP.

Randomized Controlled Trial of Social Media: Effect of Increased Intensity of the Intervention

BackgroundA prior randomized controlled trial of social media exposure at Circulation determined that social media did not increase 30‐day page views. Whether insufficient social media intensity contributed to these results is uncertain.Methods and ResultsOriginal article manuscripts were randomized to social media exposure compared with no social media exposure (control) at Circulation beginning in January 2015. Social media exposure consisted of Facebook and Twitter posts on the journal's accounts. To increase social media intensity, a larger base of followers was built using advertising and organic growth, and posts were presented in triplicate and boosted on Facebook and retweeted on Twitter. The primary outcome was 30‐day page views. Stopping rules were established at the point that 50% of the manuscripts were randomized and had 30‐day follow‐up to compare groups on 30‐day page views. The trial was stopped for futility on September 26, 2015. Overall, 74 manuscripts were randomized to receive social media exposure, and 78 manuscripts were randomized to the control arm. The intervention and control arms were similar based on article type (P=0.85), geographic location of the corresponding author (P=0.33), and whether the manuscript had an editorial (P=0.80). Median number of 30‐day page views was 499.5 in the social media arm and 450.5 in the control arm; there was no evidence of a treatment effect (P=0.38). There were no statistically significant interactions of treatment by manuscript type (P=0.86), by corresponding author (P=0.35), by trimester of publication date (P=0.34), or by editorial status (P=0.79).ConclusionsA more intensive social media strategy did not result in increased 30‐day page views of original research.
