- title: Factors associated with low contraceptive use amongst vulnerable mothers in South West State, Nigeria
- date: 2020-09-18
- words: 2646
- flesch: 48
- summary: A Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were employed to show an association, relationship and predict the likelihood between the independent variables, which are family type and living arrangement on the dependent variable, which is family planning use. This large variability of non-use of family planning is higher amongst young mothers in the south west region with an average unmet need for contraception at 28% compared with other regions regions with much lower unmet need for contraception, 3 hence the young mothers could delay the progress of the country in harnessing or reaping its demographic dividend and adequate family planning use has full capacities of averting the high rate of maternal and child mortality.

- summary: Using geo-referenced information of an inventory of broadband network infrastructure, we employ a more appropriate micro-spatial measure of internet infrastructure based on 3G/4G network equipment at the local level alongside a range of explanatory variables to explain internet adoption in Nigeria. In comparison to the cited studies, we take a different approach by employing a true measure of internet infrastructure that is based on the prevalence of wireless network equipment (i.e. towers and radios).

The evaluation could not interview the anticipated number of relatives because some of the contacts did not inform their immediate family members about their status as EVD contacts and therefore could not be interviewed.

- summary: Adunbi examines how a system of extractive practices impact the lives of Niger Delta inhabitants and entangle them in contestations with corporations and the state over claims for control and benefit from oil resources. Although many critical scholars have questioned resource curse theory for its determinist implications (Lahiri Dutt 2006; Watts 2004) influential academic and policy circles maintain that promoting state level transparency in the extractive sector should contribute to reversing negative social impacts of export commodity-dependence, in particular, the looting of public revenues (Collier 2010; Florini 2010; Cuvellier, Vlasenroot and Olin 2014) .

- summary: Use of time-series analysis in infectious disease surveillance-bulletin of the World Health Organization Genomic Characterization of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Related Coronavirus in European Bats and Classification of Coronaviruses Based on Partial RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase Gene Sequences Prediction of Incidence of Notifiable Contagious Diseases by Appalication of Time Series Model Forecasting incidence of intestinal infectious diseases in mainland China with ARIMA model and GM (1, 1) model Comparison of ARIMA and Random Forest time series models for prediction of avian influenza H5N1 outbreaks Predicting the incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease in Sichuan province, China using the ARIMA model Forecasting incidence of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in China using ARIMA model Malaria disease distribution in Sudan using time series ARIMA model Coronavirus disease 2019. Overall, we were able to formulate time series models on the spread of COVID-19 in Nigeria, conduct a diagnostic check on the models formulated to determine the most suitable model, Estimate the parameters of the various models and forecast the COVID-19 spread variable.
