URL: http://www.iclc.us/cliej/cl31TBN.pdf Internet Usage and Regulations in Niger Delta University Libraries Pereware Aghwotu Tiemo Niger Delta University Nigeria [email protected] Emilian Bribena Niger Delta University Nigeria [email protected] Obiora Nwosu Nnamidi Azikiwe University Nigeria Abstrac:. The study examines the Internet usage and regulations in Niger Delta University Libraries. The descriptive research design was used for this study. 404 Internet users were randomly selected from the libraries on three campuses of Niger Delta University. The questionnaire method of data collection was employed and complemented by interviews. Findings of the study are: the Internet services in the library are functional and accessible to all users. There are no Internet regulations in the libraries. The Internet services in the library are not geared only toward educational purpose but patrons use it for other personal activities and visiting other websites as well. It is recommended that there should be an Internet regulation policy in the library. These regulations will guide students on the use of the Internet. Students should be given passwords in order to gain access to the Internet so that its usage can be monitored. I. Introduction The Internet, as an information source, is uniquely important to the library. It allows the library to provide information beyond the confines of its own collections. Libraries provide the Internet access to support the teaching, learning, and research activities. However, information on the Internet may be outdated, biased, inaccurate, unreliable or restricted for access. Good 1 Chinese Librarianship: an International Electronic Journal, 31. -

A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa. -
A 35‑Year Standardized Prediction Estimates for Gynecological Lesions in Oil and Gas Exploration and Production City in the Niger Delta

We developed a 35‑year standardized prediction estimates for gynecological lesions using data obtained from an integrated specialist hospital serving the residence of the oil and gas exploration and production City of Port Harcourt and the surrounding areas of Niger Delta, Nigeria. Methods: The study participants comprised of 697 females who received medical care at the Braithwaite Memorial Specialist Hospital (BMSH), Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, between 2010 and 2014. Predictive modeling of the diseases was performed using JMP statistical discovery™ software, version 12.0 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA). Results: The distribution of the gynecological lesions (n = 697) differed significantly (P < 0.001) by year of diagnosis, developmental stage, age category, and types of lesion. The mean age of study participants was 39.1 ± 12.8 years, and most of the lesions (61.8%) occurred among females who were 30‑ to 49‑year old. -
