Since early detection of pathogens and their virulence factors contribute to intervention and control strategies, we assessed the enteropathogens in diarrhoea disease and investigated the link between toxigenic strains of Escherichia coli from stool and drinking-water sources; and determined the expression of toxin genes by antibiotic-resistant E. coli in Lagos, Nigeria. This was compared with ...

A major concern in modern monetary theory has been the development of models where money is essential and yet substantive issues can be analyzed in a tractable manner. At the center of this e¤ort is Lagos and Wright (2005). The tractability in their framework is due to the fact that trade alternates between a centralized market and a decentralized market. A widespread view is that money is esse...

This article examines the ways in which Fflur Dafydd’s 2008 novel Twenty Thousand Saints negotiates notions of the island space in a post-devolution Welsh context. It argues that the novel is a rich site in the analysis of the literary dimension of what Baldacchino describes as the “island-mainland [...] dialectic” (Baldacchino, 2006, p. 10). Set on Bardsey, a real small island off the coast of...

We construct a simple model of monetary exchange where, as in Lagos and Wright (2003), trades take place in both centralized and decentralized markets. However, in constrast to Lagos and Wright, we allow for general preferences and introduce nonconvexities (indivisiblities) and sunspots. In the centralized market, agents can trade statecontingent commodities. We show that nonconvexities and sun...

Background and purpose: Current evidence shows physical fitness (PF) among children and adolescents in Africa and around the world is declining and the trend is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the baseline PF data of primary school children in Lagos State, Nigeria, and to determine the predictors of low PF within the cohort. Materi...

The interconnections of family transformation, childrearing and fertility behaviour are explored. Data were generated through nine focus groups organized among the Ogu and content analyzed. The analysis reveals that although the family system is still largely dominated by extended structure, the strong traditional kinship ties have begun to undergo serious strain. Child fostering and other mean...

The observations on which this paper is based were prompted by the high incidence of urethritis in adult males seen at the Yaba Clinic which is the General Out-patient Department of Lagos Teaching Hospital. It was noticed that some of these patients consistently failed to respond to penicillin injections and other antibiotics routinely used here for the treatment of gonorrhoea. Several of them ...
