- The axiom, ‘it takes two to tango’ may fittingly describe how corruption thrives. While demonstrably endemic in and seemingly generic to Africa, the ancient history of corruption depicts active participation of Western accomplices; collaborators, who perpetrated and advanced their political interests with the proceeds of sleaze. This article, using the Roman historian Sallust’s Bellum Iugurthinum (The War with Jugurtha), employs interpretive approach to highlight how an African monarch was spurred on by corrupt leading Roman senator, who treated public assets as personal property, to recklessly pursue his political ambition. The article highlighted how Roman soldiers introduced the use of money in seeking power to Jugurtha and the stages of the former’s duplicity in the prolonged African conflicts. With evidence to support Jugurtha’s description of Rome in her corrupt state as ‘urbem venalem et mature perituram, si emptorem invenerit’ (a city for sale and doomed to speedy destruction if it finds a purchaser- Sallust, Jugurthine War 35.10), the conclusion is: the African ruler got in the Roman senate a viral school of bribery. Interestingly, the episode of corruption ended when the will of the corrupt Roman senators was thwarted. Therefore, mitigating corruption could begin from the West that hosts its influential accomplices. 2 results 2

- "Comorbidity of depression and diabetes is common, and each disorder has a negative impact on the outcome of the other. The direction of causality is not certain as each disorder seems to act as both a risk factor and consequence for the other in longitudinal studies. This bidirectional association is possibly mediated by shared environmental and genetic risk factors. Comorbid depression is associated with reduced adherence to medication and self-care management, poor glycaemic control, increased health care utilization, increased costs and elevated risk of complications, as well as mortality in patients with diabetes. Psychological and pharmacological interventions are shown to be effective in improving depression symptoms; however, collaborative care programs that simultaneously manage both disorders seem to be most effective in improving diabetes-related outcomes." 1 results 1

- Background: The adoption of Collaborative Goal Setting (CGS) is limited in most rehabilitation settings in Nigeria despite its recommendations in clinical practice guidelines. Objective: To explore the perceptions of physiotherapists and patients about CGS at a tertiary healthcare facility in Ibadan, Nigeria. Methods: We conducted focus group discussions among purposively selected physiotherapists (n = 8) and patients (4 stroke survivors, 3 patients with brain injury) to qualitatively explore their perceptions. Audio-taped discussions were transcribed verbatim and thematically analyzed. Results: We identified four themes around CGS which were: 1) paternalistic view of goal setting; 2) physiotherapists as goal setters; 3) perceived benefits of collaborative goal setting; and 4) barriers and facilitators to CGS. The physiotherapists articulated goals as expected outcomes from treat- ment and believed they were better poised and experienced to determine what patients could achieve during each phase of treatment. Patients' view of goal setting agreed with the physio- therapists', as they also opined that goal setting is the responsibility of physiotherapists. Time constraint, inadequate knowledge and the inability of patients to appropriately articulate their goals and expectations from treatment were barriers to CGS. Concerns about who to collaborate with when dealing with patients with impaired cognition and/or disorders of consciousness were raised by the physiotherapists. Participants in both groups indicated that education on how to set patient-oriented goals could facilitate CGS. Conclusions: Though rarely practiced, participants agreed that collaborative goal setting could be beneficial. Both the physiotherapists and patients require education on how to appropriately collaborate in setting goals of rehabilitation. 1 results 1

- Building Information Modelling (BIM) offers an alternative and better method of handling information for integrated project delivery approach to that of the traditional fragmented method of collaboration in the built environment. This paper is aimed at assessing the awareness and the prospects of adopting BIM in the professional Architectural practices in Nigeria using Akure as a case study. The rate of urbanisation and transformation of the built environment in the face of globalisation, calls for a new direction in the processing and handling of building information. This is particularly necessary as the current business model is inadequate for maximum productivity. The field investigation focused on determining the current business model of selected Architectural practice as well as assessing their awareness of Building Information Modelling and whether or not professionals are going to adopt it soon. The findings showed that the method of collaboration among professionals remain fragmented, the use of 3D software and even BIM software is limited to just 3D visualization and plan details. The study revealed that despite a good number of respondents already conscious of the benefit of using a BIM tool; their overall approach to project delivery remains fragmented. Awareness of the concept of BIM was a little above average among respondents but BIM implementation in professional practice is very low. It was discovered that challenges faced by respondents in the adoption of BIM is predicated on the attitudinal disposition of other professionals with whom they work and exchange building information with. These professionals do not work with BIM and coupled with inadequate knowledge of staff in the adoption of BIM workflow. The paper concluded that Building Information Modelling (BIM) has greater advantage than the existing traditional practice involving 2D drafting. BIM also has the inherent ability to foster integrated project delivery by creating a common platform for all professionals to work simultaneously on a project thereby minimising costly design and construction errors 1 results 1

- Collaboration has been widely acknowledged as a potent tool for meeting the challenges of library and information science (LIS) education. Collaboration is forged not only among LIS institutions within national boundaries but also across borders. While collaboration is known to have been well developed in the developed countries of Europe and North America and is, indeed, advancing the cause of LIS education, not much seems to have been done in developing countries, particularly those in the West African region. Nigeria and Ghana are two West African countries with strong historical ties. They share, among others, a common colonial experience which culminated in the establishment of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria and the University of Ghana in the same year (1948) as affiliate colleges of University of London. The University of Ibadan’s Department of Library, Archival and Information Studies and the University of Ghana’s Department of Information Studies are notable centres of LIS education in West Africa. While the Ibadan LIS department started as the Institute of Librarianship in 1959 and admitted its first batch of six students in 1960, the Ghana LIS department evolved from the Ghana Library School established in 1961 under the auspices of Ghana Library Board. The two LIS departments have since been in the forefront in the development and sustenance of LIS education in West Africa. In view of their unique position and the long-standing relationship, what is the level of collaboration between them? This is what this study investigated. A survey research design was adopted with questionnaire and semi-structured interview with faculty in the two LIS institutions as instruments for data collection. Based on the findings and in the light of experiences in other parts of the world, recommendations are made towards improving collaboration in US education in the region. 1 results 1
