Male genital tract versus blood HIV-1 compartmentalization and selection: the first step of the transmission bottleneck? by Kariuki, Samuel Mundia
Published 2020“…After transmission, approximately 80% of the newly disseminated infections can be traced to a single variant, which comes from the minor HIV-1 population within the transmitting donor. …”

- Current statistics indicate that about two in fifty cases of rape are reported in Nigeria, and the percentage of reported cases has continued to reduce over the years in spite of the observed consistent increase in the number of rape incidents. The burden of rape is more on women who do not have power balance with men to propagate or prosecute a majority of cases. The long silence of women due to the lack of support from male folk shows some kind of gender politics behind rape. Hence, the stigma associated with rape continues to discourage women from reporting rape cases. However, this issue has been continuously explored in many Nigerian (Nollywood) films. But to what extent have Nollywood films contributed to the mobilization of the Nigerian populace toward reducing incidences of rape in Nigeria? Using the framing theory of the media, this article examined two Nigerian films, Tango with Me (dir. Mahmood Ali-Balogun, 2012) and Code of Silence (dir. Emem Isong, 2015), which were purposively selected due to their storylines on rape. The movies were content analysed to highlight the role that men and women play, and the views of society towards rape incidences. The study also examined the gender roles vis-à-vis the stigma and trauma experiences of the victims (mainly the women) and the punishment meted out to the perpetrators of rape. Findings indicated that there is a code of silence; consequently, rape victims (mainly women) are not encouraged to speak out, for fear of losing their mental wellbeing and social status in society. The role of women in rape is passive and submissive to the dictates of a society which valorises patriarchy while the role of men shows aggressive and unrepentant behaviour, which society hardly punishes. The conclusion reached is that Nollywood content producers should help to raise the level of Nigerians’ awareness through their productions to make rape victims see the need to promptly report rape incidents, so that offenders can be punished, and deterrents can begin to emerge. 1 results 1

- In Africa, the need for pragmatic, sincere and purposeful leadership has been discussed at many gatherings, both within and outside the continent. Quite sadly, however, most African nations are still not faring well politically, socially and economically. Poverty, ignorance, fear and intimidation, disease and deprivations of all kinds exist in higher proportions than years gone past. It is no longer news that most of Africa’s problems stem from the continent’s leaders who have found nothing wrong with squandering the wealth of their nations, sometimes, in collaboration with their western partners in corruption. In their characteristic bad governance and indulgence in official corruption, African leaders create for themselves real and imaginary enemies whom they use public funds and other machinery of government to fight. As a way of justifying their acts also, not a few African leaders indulge in acts of deception that are face saving in nature. While employing different means to perpetuate themselves in office, many of the leaders today stop at nothing to see their dreams come true. Known and designated as psychopathology, paranoia in political context refers to pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others such that their motives are interpreted as malevolent. An important aspect of political paranoia is a pattern of disowning uncomfortable personal feelings and attributing them to others, the psychological defence mechanism known as projection. Political deception, on the other hard, refers to an inducement of false beliefs by political leaders in their followers or the people they lead. This is principally done using propaganda and sometimes intimidation among other methods. Deception includes forgery, imposture, conjuring, military, civil and strategic deceptions and much more. This paper used Nigeria as a case study because the Nigerian socioeconomic and political environment captures the African experience in not a few ways. The paper utilizes a psychological perspective to critically examine the emergence, use, trend and consequences of political paranoia and deception as weapons by the present political leadership in Nigeria where the citizenry appears to be generally not satisfied with the performance of the entire present administration. The aim is to understand the multi-faceted thought and behavioural patterns of African leaders, which are necessary for any meaningful mass political mobilization of the citizenry. 1 results 1
- In recent times, there has been an exponential increase in the use of mobile wireless devices such as smartphones, tablets etc. This has in turn led to a matching increase in demand for mobile broadband data usage. Many technologies have been engaged in order to meet this enormous data need. Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) are major technologies used in meeting this high data demand. However, LTE was designed to operate in the licensed spectrum as a schedule-based technology in which the Evolved Node B (eNodeB) allots time-slots to devices in its cell. The licensed spectrum is more expensive to maintain for service providers and with increase in mobile wireless devices that same licensed spectrum is more congested. Operation of LTE in Unlicensed spectrum has been proposed as a solution to this need. However, if LTE operates in the unlicensed spectrum in its native form, Wi-Fi and other legacy technologies operating in the unlicensed spectrum get deprived of channel access. In this paper, we proposed a modified Blank Subframe Allocation technique in combination with Listen before talk (LBT) Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) before allocating the spectrum to its users to give channel access opportunity to Wi-Fi devices. Simulation was conducted for both instances i.e. when LTE operates with only Blank Subframe Allocation (BSA) coexistence and when CCA is applied to the LTE node. Performances of both models were evaluated using performance matrices such as delay time and throughput. The results showed that the proposed model achieved a smaller delay time than the existing model. 1 results 1
- In wireless ad hoc environments, two approaches can be used for multicasting: multicast flooding or multicast tree-based approach. Existing multicast protocols mainly based on the latter approach, may not work properly in mobile ad hoc networks as dynamic movement of group members can cause the frequent tree reconfiguration with excessive channel overhead and resulting into loss of datagram. Since the task of keeping the tree structure up-to-date in the multicast tree-based approach is nontrivial, sometimes, multicast flooding is considered as an alternative approach for multicasting in MANET. The scheme presented in this research attempts to reduce the forwarding space for multicast packets beyond earlier presented scheme and also examine the effect of our improvements upon control packet overhead, data packet delivery ratio, and end-to-end delay by further reduction in the number of nodes that rebroadcasts multicast packets while still maintaining a high degree of accuracy of delivered packets. The simulated result was carried out with OMNeT++ to present the comparative analysis on the performance of angular scheme with flooding and LAR box scheme. Our result showed a better improvement compared to flooding and LAR box schemes. 1 results 1
- Increasing roles of women in agricultural activities has made provision of gender responsive information imperative. This study investigated coverage of gender roles in agriculture in four selected Nigerian newspapers. Ninety-two articles representing the media coverage from four newspapers were coded for this study. Results indicated that the tabloids covered more non-gender stories (67.3%) than gender stories (32.6%), male roles enjoyed more prominence than female roles; and total amount of space allotted to females (51.3%) was more compared to male roles (48.7%). However, male roles (33.3%) in agricultural news coverage enjoyed more strategic placement as compared to female roles (23.3%), though space allotted (t = -0.16, p = 0.872) and placement (t = 0.94; p = 0.94) of male and female related stories were not significantly different. Civil society groups with mandates for agriculture and gender development should mount advocacy, mobilization and sensitization for media executives on the importance of gender responsive reporting of agricultural news. 1 results 1
