Abstract This study examines the problematic of budget implementation in Nigeria using Delta State as a case study. The design of the study was descriptive survey. The population of the study comprised of 2383 senior staff in the Delta State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, Ministry of Economic Planning, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Housing and Ministry of Finance. The sample of the study consisted of 350 senior staff drawn from level 10-16 using stratified and simple random techniques. The instruments used for data collection was budget implementation questionnaire. The data were analyzed using mean rating and chi-square. The findings of the study revealed that there is significant relationship between politics of accommodation, poor commitment, compromised budget monitoring, culture of corruption and budget implementation in Delta State. The study also recommended among others that approved budgets should be religiously implemented without considering or accommodating the personal or selfish interests of different stakeholders in the political system, there should be genuine and high-level commitment to the execution of budgets after their approval so that such budgetary allocations and provisions can translate into concrete development in all the envisaged sectors, and there should be an efficient and effective monitoring of approved budgetary projects as well as zero tolerance for corruption.

Full textAbstract:
Primary health care (PHC) was conceptualized to play a ‘central hub’ role in health systems. Diabetes care services are presently unavailable in PHC facilities, except the screening programs that are carried out by non-governmental organizations. This implies there is issue of behavioural change wheel (BCW) of the stakeholders including the quartet of ministry of health, hospital management board, healthcare professionals (HCP) and diabetes patients. This narrative review investigates perception of stakeholders towards scaling-up of a diabetes context of PHC agenda in Delta State Nigeria. The study utilized data from ongoing studies including opportunistic and purposive sampling designs. Data from published literatures on Nigeria were also reviewed. The various stakeholders’ perceptions is that motivation is poor across board. The ministry of health as well as the hospitals management board, but not patients, have the capacity. Suggested ways of improving BCW in the state include increased allocation for the ministry of health, and retraining healthcare professionals. Others improvement measures including tackling socio-cultural beliefs, and taboos are suggested. Scaling-up and sustaining diabetes care program at the PHC level in Delta State is agreed to be the responsibility of all stakeholders. There is need to enhance capacity/knowledge among community members living with diabetes, and opportunity/practice among the HCPs, but most importantly attitude/motivation of all stakeholders.

Niger Delta comprises of the South-South states, Ondo state from the South west, Imo and Abia States from the South East region of Nigeria. Despite the huge mineral resources that the region generates and the driving force to the national economy, the region remains in abject poverty, youth unemployment, poor infrastructure and high level insecurity. This paper investigates the role of NDDC, successes and challenges in the development of Niger Delta region. The Marxist instrumentalist theory was adopted as the theoretical framework of analysis. Documentary method was adopted as the method of data collection and content analysis was employed as the method of analysis. The paper found out that the federal government has created several interventionist bodies which include the Niger Delta Development Board (NDDB) (1958), the Oil Minerals Producing and Development Commission (OMPADEC) (1992), the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) (2000) and the most recent, Ministry of Niger Delta (2008). In spite of this various interventionist bodies, the region is still far underdeveloped with little or nothing on ground compared to what is being exploited from the region. As an oil producing region, it ought to enjoy massive infrastructural development, job creation, empowerment programs and peaceful society, among others. However, this paper is of the view that a lot still needs to be done, as the region is retrogressing speedily instead of progressing in regards to the core indices of development. This paper also found out that corruption has eaten deep into the affair of NDDC. There is also a report of a cabal who hijacks contracts and sells it to contractors that end up doing low standard jobs not in line with the bill of quantities or not doing at all. The paper recommends total restructuring of Ministry of Niger Delta and NDDC in area of staff posting and review of organogram of the board. There should be a think-tank team of individuals with reputable character both from government and representatives of the people, towards listing out the needs of the people according to preference. A review of projects done and the ones ongoing across the Niger Delta oil producing states with the contractors involved to see if it is in line with the bill of quantities, any contractor found wanting should face the full wrath of the law.

The paper examines the existence, if any, of differences in gross margin between rural and urban areas in Delta State, Nigeria. Data were collected from all 275 poultry farmers registered with the Delta State Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock Department. The null hypotheses was that there is no significant difference in poultry farm gross margin between locations in terms rural and urban areas; managers with formal education in agriculture and managers who have no formal education in agriculture; and managers who have and who do not have prior experience in poultry business. Data were collected from all 275 poultry farmers registered with the State Ministry Agriculture using copies of a structured questionnaire and were analyzed using frequency counts, means and T-test. Amongst the findings were: Majority of poultry business operators have low level formal education in disciplines not related to agriculture; there was a significant difference in the mean number of years of schooling and courses studied between rural and urban areas but that there was no significant difference in number of years of prior experience. The T-test results failed to reject the three null hypotheses. The study concluded that indeed elements of opportunity may vary from place to place but the ability to exploit the benefits may moderate or accentuate performance. Entrepreneurial capacity building was recommended for poultry business operators’ state wide.

Full textAbstract:
The paper examined the Nigerian state and development in the Niger Delta region. The Niger Delta region of Nigeria exemplifies the contrast between enormous wealth and severe underdevelopment. The Nigerian government has made several attempts to stimulate development in the region by establishing special development agencies. However, none of the special development agencies established have been successful in improving the living conditions of the people of the Niger Delta. As a result, the purpose of this paper is to investigate some of the challenges confronting the Niger Delta region, as well as the Nigerian government's responses to them in order to achieve development. The Marxian Political Economy (MPE) theory was used as the theoretical framework of analysis. The paper relied on secondary sources of data collection. It was discovered that the Niger Delta region faces unemployment and poverty, as well as a lack of quality education and healthcare, as well as water and transportation issues. Furthermore, the several specific development agencies established by the Nigerian government to address these issues are failing to change the narrative, as the people of the region remain impoverished. As a result, the paper recommended a change in the mentality on the part of the Nigerian government, of those who supervise the activities of the NDDC and the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, as a way forward to assure speedy development of the Niger Delta region.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The study examines internally generated revenue (IGR) in Delta State as a tool for infrastructural development. The Ordinary Least Squares was used to analyze the impact of internally generated revenue on infrastructural development in Delta State; the data used covered the period between 2008 to 2018.
Methodology: The data was generated from a combination of publishing materials and data from Delta State Ministry of Finance
Findings: The study findings indicate that the internally generated revenue has an insignificant impact on government expenditure on health. This indicates that the fund generated internally within the state has not improved the spending on the health infrastructure. On the contrary, on education infrastructure, the result indicates that the internally generally revenue by the Delta State Government has a significant impact on government expenditure on education infrastructure. This result indicates that the internally generated revenue from Delta State has improved the money spent on the educational infrastructure.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Based on the findings, the researcher recommends that the government should spend at least 40 percent of the internally generated revenue in financing the health sector through improved budgetary provision. This will improve the development process in Delta State. The Delta State government should put in place measures to improve the total money generated internally by levying and collating appropriate taxes.

Abstract Gamma-delta (γδ) T cells are innate immunity effector lymphocytes with known prominent anti-tumor reactivity against aggressive glioblastoma (GBM). However, therapeutic approaches have had limited success due to the protective blood-brain-barrier and the immunosuppressive GBM tumor microenvironment. In this study, we determined Vδ1 a Vδ2 γδ T cell populations in peripheral blood and paired tumor tissue samples in patients (n=40) following the resection and throughtout the therapy follow-up. Tumor samples were processed using enzymatic kits and gentleMACSTM Dissociator (Miltenyi Biotec Inc.) and tumor-infiltrating γδ T lymphocytes (TILs) were analyzed by flow cytometry.We found infiltration of both intratumoral CD3+ γδ T cell subsets in 68% tumor samples. We detected Vδ1 γδ T cells in the range 0-0.8% (median 0.26%). Majority of GBM patients presented the Vδ2 subset among TILs in the range 0-13.8% (median 1.5%). Functional studies showed prominent cytotoxicity of magnetically sorted Vδ1 a Vδ2 γδ T cells against GBM cell lines and more importantly against primary tumors. Detailed phenotypic profiling and single-cell sequencing of Vδ2 γδ T cells is currently underway. Next, we identified the EphA2 receptor as one of the targets for tumor-reactive Vδ1 γδ T cells. Specifically, we found that blocking of EphA2 expression resulted in significant inhibition of GBM killing mediated by Vδ1 γδ T cells. Furthermore, Luminex xMAP technology identified significantly elevated levels of stress ligand MICA and check-point inhibitor ligands PD-L1 (B7-H1, CD274) and B7-H3 (CD276) and galectin-9 in patients‘ plasma samples at diagnosis compared to age-matched controls.The patient’s clinical course and therapeutic protocols will be discussed.This study was supported by Ministry of Health, Czech Republic (grant NV19-05-00410 to AK) by Ministry of Health, Czech Republic-conceptual development of research organization (FNBr, 65269705).

Full textAbstract:
There is poor performance in mathematics among secondary school students in Delta State, Nigeria. Teachers, Parents, the government are all complaining about the poor performance of students in mathematics, and they are trying to find out how this problem can be solved. Many kinds of research have been carried out trying to find out the real cause of students’ poor performance in secondary mathematics, but they fail to focus much attention on the variable ‘study skills’ as one of the causes. The study is a survey type. Five hundred (500) students were sampled from 25 Government secondary schools, Delta State of Nigeria, through random sampling. The instrument used in gathering data for this study were the students’ Study Skills Questionnaire (SSSQ) and centrally set examination results from the state ministry of education. The result from the state ministry of education was used to gather data on the students’ performance in mathematics, while the questionnaire was used to gather information on students’ study skills. Two hypotheses were stated to guide the study, which was tested at a 0.05 level of significance using the SPSS and t-test statistic to analyze the data obtained. The result shows that there is a significant influence on students’ study skills and their performance in Mathematics. There was a significant difference between students who possess good study skills and those with bad study skills.

Full textAbstract:
Mali is a country with a rich history and diverse cultures. Its cultural heritage is, however, threatened by both the pillage of archaeological sites and illicit trade (ICOM 1995; Bedaux & Rowlands, this volunle). Looting has dramatically increased in recent years, especially in the Inland Delta of the Niger, and has obliged Malian authorities to take measures to counteract this destruction. Within the framework of a long-term Malian-Dutch cultural heritage programme, the Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde at Leiden recently initiated large-scale excavations in the Inland Niger Delta at Dia, in close cooperation with the Université du Mali, the Institut des Sciences Humaines and the Musée National du Mali in Bamako, the Mission Culturelle in Djenné, the Universities of Paris I and VI, the C.N.R.S., University College London and Leiden University. This excavation, financed principally by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, started in 1998 and will continue until 2004. It is a continuation of previous international programmes of site survey and documentation in the Inland Niger Delta, which the Institut des Sciences Humaines in Bamako has co-ordinated over the past two decades (e.g. Raimbault & Sanogo 1991; Dembele et al. 1993; Togola 1996). An initial season of prospection was carried out in 1998 in the Inland Delta, following which the vicinity of Dia was chosen as the principal research zone for the project.

Full textAbstract:
Iron deficiency is one of the most widely spread types of microelementosis, especially in a growing organism. It is essential to diagnose iron deficiency at an early stage in order to start treatment timely. Diagnostics of iron deficiency can be complicated by concomitant diseases that distort biochemical parameters of iron metabolism, thus making them not informative enough. In this connection, hemoglobin count in reticulocytes (Ret-Hb) and delta-hemoglobin (Delta-He) may be useful indicators as they help to diagnose true iron deficiency at earliest stages and do not depend on concomitant conditions, which is described in reference sources. In this work, Ret-Hb and Delta-He were detected in the structure of blood hematology test performed on hematology analyzers Sysmex XT-4000 and Sysmex XN-9000 (Japan) in 24 children aged 1–18 with absolute iron deficiency; three of these children had absolute iron deficiency manifested as latent deficiency, and 19 children had hypochromic microcytic anemia of mild or medium severity. The parameter was below the normal limit (the average count was 24.2 ± 3.5 pg), while the normal limit is 28 pg, according to the reference sources. After two weeks of treatment, Ret-Hb increased up to 26.0 ± 2.9 pg. Delta-He, being initially as low as 2.9 ± 0.9 pg (with the lower threshold of 4.0 pg) rose up to 6.3 ± 3.4 pg. The results of our research have demonstrated that Ret-Hb and Delta-He may be regarded as informative, economical and affordable diagnostic parameters that do not require collection of additional blood samples. Their dynamics during treatment should be investigated further. This study was approved by the Independent Ethics Committee and the Scientific Council of Saint Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University of Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation.

Full textAbstract:
In August 2021, a major wave of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant erupted in the highly vaccinated population of Israel. The transmission advantage of the Delta variant enabled it to replace the Alpha variant in approximately two months. The outbreak led to an unexpectedly large proportion of breakthrough infections (BTI)–a phenomenon that received worldwide attention. Most of the Israeli population, especially those aged 60+, received their second dose of the vaccination four months before the invasion of the Delta variant. Hence, either the vaccine induced immunity dropped significantly or the Delta variant possesses immunity escaping abilities, or both. In this work, we model data obtained from the Israeli Ministry of Health, to help understand the epidemiological factors involved in the outbreak. We propose a mathematical model that captures a multitude of factors, including age structure, the time varying vaccine efficacy, time varying transmission rate, BTIs, reduced susceptibility and infectivity of vaccinated individuals, protection duration of the vaccine induced immunity, and the vaccine distribution. We fitted our model to COVID-19 cases among the vaccinated and unvaccinated, for <60 and 60+ age groups, and quantified the transmission rate, the vaccine efficacy over time and the impact of the third dose booster vaccine. The peak transmission rate of the Delta variant was found to be 2.14 times higher than that of the Alpha variant. The two-dose vaccine efficacy against infection dropped significantly from >90% to ~40% over 6 months. We further performed model simulations and quantified counterfactual scenarios examining what would happen if the booster had not been rolled out. We estimated that approximately 4.03 million infective cases (95%CI 3.19, 4.86) were prevented by vaccination overall, and 1.22 million infective cases (95%CI 0.89, 1.62) averted by the booster.

Purpose: This paper accounts for Government performance in the development of the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. The aim is to investigate the impact of government performance on school enrolment figure and state governments’ expenditures on health on the human development index of the region from the period, 1990-2018. Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper adopted the ex-post facto research design and made use of secondary data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and the World Bank Data. The population of the Niger Delta comprises forty million, six hundred and forty-five thousand, two hundred and five (40,645, 205) individuals in the region. The data obtained was statistically analysed using multiple linear regression. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22 was employed for the analysis of the study. Findings: The study found that with the huge revenue generated from crude oil and natural gas by the Nigerian Government from the Niger Delta region, the school enrolment figure and state governments’ expenditures on health do not have an impact on human development index on the development of the Niger Delta Region. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study has contributed to the body of knowledge through Accounting for government performance and development of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, using human development index, school enrolment figure and State governments’ expenditure on health as variables. The study recommends that Ministry of education, health and the State governments must work hard, in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in the education and health sector. The education and health budgetary allocations must be taken seriously and monitored thoroughly so as to ensure every kobo is accounted for. Maximum impact must be felt from whatever the government sets aside as the education and health budget and this could be seen to also improve the human capital development in the region. Finally, the State governments should also collaborate with the communities to implement good healthcare system and also quality education in the Niger Delta. The essence of this is not just to stop at the budgeting, but also to ensure full and accountable implementation of the health and education budget.

Full textAbstract:
Tacit knowledge sharing affects different employee-related outcomes, including job thriving and employee innovation. However, in public organizations, the bureaucratic constraints on knowledge sharing make its link to job thriving and innovation seem tentative. Besides, the contextual factors affecting the link between tacit knowledge and employee innovation are not fully understood. Hence, this study empirically examines the link between tacit knowledge sharing and employee innovation with job thriving as a mediator in a public organization in Delta State, Nigeria. Data from 169 mid-level staff at the Delta State Ministry of Health were collected and analyzed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method to test the hypotheses. The study’s findings reveal that tacit knowledge sharing has a significant positive relationship with job thriving and employee innovation. Further, job thriving has a significant positive relationship with employee innovation, as well as mediating the significant positive relationship between tacit knowledge sharing and employee innovation. Importantly, practical implications for public organizations looking to improve tacit knowledge sharing, job thriving, and employee innovation emerge from these findings; principal among them is the need to foster a knowledge-sharing culture and supportive work environment.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a viral infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that first surfaced in December 2019. According to the World Health Organization, most persons infected with this virus suffer from mild to severe respiratory infections and recover without specific treatment or hospitalization. Some people, however, may acquire serious illnesses that need medical attention and isolation facilities. This paper investigates the use of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) based on GIS technology to determine the optimal site selection for isolation hospitals for coronavirus patients in Nile Delta region in Egypt using the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (F-AHP) and the weighted overlay tool analysis method (WOA). The research of isolation hospital site selection in Nile Delta governorates in Egypt is one of the areas that have received insufficient attention due to the current global coronavirus epidemic. Several criteria are applied to identify and select the isolation hospital location, including World Health Organization regulations, Egyptian Ministry of Health conditions, previous research studies, and field visits. Geodatabase is created using ArcGIS Pro software, and manual digitization is done. As a conclusion of the study, numerous additional optimal sites for isolated hospitals have been found and chosen. There are around 29 proposed ideal sites for isolated hospitals utilizing F-AHP and approximately 24 sites using WOA approach in Nile Delta region. These planned hospital locations might be permanent as a central hospital or temporary, to be relocated after the epidemic is over. The paper emphasizes the need to use the study criteria while selecting and defining the location of coronavirus isolation hospitals.

Full textAbstract:
This study used quantitative and qualitative methods to collect data, using questionnaires and interviews, from 792 randomly-selected farmers in two of the governorates in the Nile Delta Region, Egypt. A workshop was organized for 59 extension professionals working in the two governorates, looking at how the adaptive capacity of the agricultural sector towards climate change was being guided by policy-makers. Two focus groups were used: one with senior officials from the regional governorates and the other with central government administrators from the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation. The study findings suggested that 51.9% of the investigated farmers at the two targeted governorates had no knowledge about the climate change phenomenon. Maximizing the use of manure, changing crop patterns, and crop rotation were the adaptation measures most commonly adopted by aware respondents against climate change. Results of a probit model analysis indicated that farmers’ ability to adapt to climate change was influenced by education level, farm size, diversity of production, and membership of a Water User Association. The study recommended some extension interventions to raise awareness of the anticipated effects of climate change.

Full textAbstract:
With the implementation of strict quarantine and adjunct health measures, Fiji was largely spared from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In April 2021, the arrival of the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 resulted in a major outbreak that is only now under control. The country enacted swift countermeasures to reduce population movement, but the delta variant gained a foothold in the peri-urban areas of the largest city, Suva, and from there spread to other major urban centres of the largest island, Viti Levu. A very effective vaccination campaign has since been implemented resulting in a rate of two-dose vaccination, above 70%, that exceeds many higher income countries and, as of late October 2021, the numbers of COVID-19 cases were in decline. Fijian life, especially in rural settings, is based on hierarchical but supportive community structures and the responsibilities that flow from community membership, for example, attending large funerals, mitigated against the organised and systematic control response instituted by the Fijian Ministry of Health and Medical Services, including vaccination, and the other Government agencies. A positive consequence of the outbreak has been the development of new capabilities, and the distribution of molecular diagnostic technologies that can be exploited to help control other infectious diseases.

The engagement of a community in any project to be sited in it has always been recommended as the ideal step to take by government and organisations. However, bickering still ensues due to the non-diligent application of community relations, an arm of public relations, that guarantees a cordial relationship between an organisatio n/government and its host communities. Therefore, the principal intention of this conceptual study is on the relationship between Estate Management Practice and Community Relations. This study was conducted to examine what community relations activities are, and to investigate if community relations was applied in the compensation payment process in the case of Kwale Industrial Park Acquisition in Delta State, Nigeria. Persuasion theory served as the theoretical framework of the study. The researchers adopted the library research design and participant observation methods. Results indicate that community relations were partially applied in the compensation payment process. It was concluded that the Land Use Act, which prescribed the method of valuation to be used in acquisition and compensation, did not foresee the problem of gross inadequacies of compensation, and the pre-payment and post-payment disputes associated with it. The researchers, therefore, recommended, amongst others, that there should be public enlightenment from time to time to make the public understand the roles of estate surveyors and valuers, for this will, to a great extent, make the public cease patronising quacks in compensation exercises. Also, Government ministries, specifically the Ministry of Information, Ministry of Land, Surveys and Urban Development, Ministry of Housing, and other Ministries that have anything to do with communities, should have community relations department as an arm to handle community relations issues.

The Niger Delta regional development question predates Nigeria’s political independence and the complexities that characterise it explains why the myriad of state responses to answering it has persisted. The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) as one such response has over the years made attempts to provide viable and sustainable answers. However, given the current global uncertainties, the changing narratives with development in relation to how the NDDC has administered the needed socio-economic and infrastructural transformation in the region needs proper documentation. This is with the aim of underscoring current day institutional relational dynamics within the NDDC and how it affects development outcomes for people who are daily roped with multidimensional problems despite the avalanche of human and natural resources. The study employs an exploratory research design, using semi-structured Key Informant Interviews drawn from urban and rural based community leaders, women groups, youth groups, and Nongovernmental Organisations whose activities relate to development in Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers States. Other Key Informant Interviewees were two academic staff of the Department of Political Science, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt, and two staff of the NDDC. David Easton’s Systems Theory is adopted to explain the input-output nexus between beneficiaries of interventions and the NDDC and how that affects development outcomes in the region. The study reveals the current administrative imbroglio between the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and the NDDC as a new challenge and threat to achieving sustainable development in the region. This challenge as revealed by the study has aggravated issues of poor institutional planning, poor community interface mechanisms, poor monitoring and evaluation, and the aggressive nature of interventions. The study concludes that although these challenges do not subvert the relative transformation achieved so far by the NDDC, however, such relativity suggests that the desired change in development is not substantial enough to alleviate the excruciating socio-economic and infrastructural conditions of the people

Il presente articolo esamina l’annosa questione del ministero e dei ministeri nella Chiesa. Il principio ermeneutico che sta al fondamento del contributo è la corrispondenza tra modello di Chiesa e modello di ministero: laddove non si corrispondano, entrambi entrato in stato di sofferenza. L’approccio al tema è di tipo storico, per mostrare come il ministero abbia conosciuto un processo di clericalizzazione che ha determinato una identificazione dei due modelli nella struttura piramidale/clericale della Chiesa. Si comprende alla luce di tale processo la fatica a distaccarsi da quel modello, come dimostra la vicenda dei ministeri istituiti, a cinquant’anni dalla pubblicazione di Ministeria quaedam. La proposta di soluzione va nella direzione di un recupero della relazione tra sacerdozio comune e sacerdozio ministeriale (cf. LG 10): i ministeri battesimali si radicherebbero nel sacerdozio comune come forma peculiare di partecipazione al sacerdozio di Cristo.

ABSTRACT The coastal area of the Niger Delta is the home to oil explorations and exploitations in Nigeria. Oil spill incidents are common along the Nigeria. The main sources of oil spill on the Niger Delta are: vandalisation of the oil pipelines by the local inhabitants; ageing of the pipelines; oil blow outs from the flow stations; cleaning of oil tankers on the high sea and disposal of used oil into the drains by the road side mechanics. By far the most serious source of oil spill is through the vandalisation of pipelines either as a result of civil disaffection with the political process or as a criminal activity. To reduce the rate of oil incidents along the Nigerian Coast particularly as a result of vandalisation, the Federal Government through an act of the National Assembly created the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Part of the responsibilities of the commission is to develop a master plan for the development of the Niger Delta, provide infrastructure and create an enabling environment for industrialisation and employment. There are also several other laws dealing with issues related to oil pollution in the environment. Also, standards for the development of the environmental sensitivity index maps for the coast of Nigeria have been developed by the Environmental Systems Research institute (ESRI). These standards are to be used by all the oil companies to prepare ESI maps for their areas of operations in Nigeria. Furthermore, apart from the mechanical and chemical oil spill cleaning methods that have been used in managing oil spill problems, oil spill models have on several occasions being used to manage oil spills on the Nigerian Coast. A number of Federal and state agencies deal with the problems of oil spill in Nigeria. The agencies include: the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), the Federal Ministry of Environment, the State Ministries of Environment and the National Maritime Authority. There is also the “Clean Nigeria Associates” which is an umbrella through which the Oil companies tackle major oil spills. There is a need to create serious awareness among the populace on the implications of oil spill incidents on the environment. Governments must assist the rural communities in claiming their rights on oil spills and ensure that digital ESI maps are readily available for managing oil spill maps. Government should have strict rules for local oil tankers that would ply our coastal and inland waters as a result of the new cabotage law that is just being passed into law in the country.

Full textAbstract:
The industry is one of the main pillars of a strong economic city. Unfortunately, third world countries' industrial cities face environmental threats to the point that sustainable environments are considered a luxury (Pugh, C, 2013). According to a report issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation in 2015 Egypt lost approximately 8618 acres of the finest farmland in the Delta and the Nile Valley as a result of urban sprawl on farmland to take advantage of employment opportunities and services in cities (Ministry of Agriculture land protection and land reclamation, 2015). The paper attempts to monitor different cases in the Egyptian context, trying to conclude the effective factors for their environmental and urban form as a result of industrial use. The Aim is to conclude key factors for sustainable industrial cities. The paper's results are based on a designed questionnaire that is analysed using SPSS. The questionnaire is completed with the help of experts and executives in order to specify the main factors in the sustainable urban form regarding industrial cities. It is followed by cluster analysis to determine the positive or negative effects of each element in relation to the rest of the elements concluding the most effective factor affecting the environment in every group as a tool to help the urban planning decision makers (environmental - urban - economic and social).

Using classical and genomic epidemiology, we tracked the COVID-19 pandemic in Kenya over 23 months to determine the impact of SARS-CoV-2 variants on its progression. SARS-CoV-2 surveillance and testing data were obtained from the Kenya Ministry of Health, collected daily from 306 health facilities. COVID-19-associated fatality data were also obtained from these health facilities and communities. Whole SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing were carried out on 1241 specimens. Over the pandemic duration (March 2020–January 2022), Kenya experienced five waves characterized by attack rates (AR) of between 65.4 and 137.6 per 100,000 persons, and intra-wave case fatality ratios (CFR) averaging 3.5%, two-fold higher than the national average COVID-19 associated CFR. The first two waves that occurred before emergence of global variants of concerns (VoC) had lower AR (65.4 and 118.2 per 100,000). Waves 3, 4, and 5 that occurred during the second year were each dominated by multiple introductions each, of Alpha (74.9% genomes), Delta (98.7%), and Omicron (87.8%) VoCs, respectively. During this phase, government-imposed restrictions failed to alleviate pandemic progression, resulting in higher attack rates spread across the country. In conclusion, the emergence of Alpha, Delta, and Omicron variants was a turning point that resulted in widespread and higher SARS-CoV-2 infections across the country.

To explore a genomic pool of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) during the pandemic, the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic formed a genomics surveillance workgroup, and the Public Health Authority of the Slovak Republic launched a systematic national epidemiological surveillance using whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Six out of seven genomic centers implementing Illumina sequencing technology were involved in the national SARS-CoV-2 virus sequencing program. Here we analyze a total of 33,024 SARS-CoV-2 isolates collected from the Slovak population from 1 March 2021, to 31 March 2022, that were sequenced and analyzed in a consistent manner. Overall, 28,005 out of 30,793 successfully sequenced samples met the criteria to be deposited in the global GISAID database. During this period, we identified four variants of concern (VOC)—Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351), Delta (B.1.617.2) and Omicron (B.1.1.529). In detail, we observed 165 lineages in our dataset, with dominating Alpha, Delta and Omicron in three major consecutive incidence waves. This study aims to describe the results of a routine but high-level SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance program. Our study of SARS-CoV-2 genomes in collaboration with the Public Health Authority of the Slovak Republic also helped to inform the public about the epidemiological situation during the pandemic.

Traveling from al-Minya, Egypt, north to Cairo by train in the mid-1980s, an observer could not help but notice the large numbers of women and children working in the lush agricultural plots adjacent to the railroad tracks. In fact, throughout the northern Sa⊂id and the Delta, too, women seemed to have taken over the fields. Furthermore, upon arriving at the Agriculture Ministry in Giza, a listener frequently overheard remarks referring to the “alarming” rise in the feminization of Egyptian agriculture. Yet Egyptian farm women have always lent a hand to agricultural production. So what, in recent years, has generated such a large-scale “invasion” of women into men's jobs? Particularly in light of the strict segregation of women from men, and their seclusion in the privacy of the home, what has brought about this public display of women?

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the relationship between environmental responsibility and financial performance of international oil companies in Niger Delta region of Nigeria. In pursuance of this, a sample of twelve (12) international oil firms was used for the study. Secondary data were obtained from the audited annual financial reports of the selected companies and Federal Ministry of Environment covering the period of 2009 to 2018. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, panel causality test and fixed effect, selected as the appropriate strategy after using the Hausman test. Based on the data analysis, the study reveals that there is a bi-directional relationship between environmental responsibility and firms’ financial performance. The study further reveals that there is a positive relationship between environmental responsibility and firms’ financial performance. When environmental responsibility interacts with corporate governance, the impact is found to have a significant positive relationship with firms’ financial performance. The study also finds that growth opportunities and firm size are positively and significantly related to firms’ financial performance. Based on the findings, the study recommends effective regulation, strong institutional mechanism and good corporate governance structures to enforce or engender environmental sustainability and compel firms to adopt the culture/strategy of sustainable finance. Such strategy will alleviate the curse of dependency and poverty that comes with the destruction of the environment and the means of sustenance of the people in oil producing communities.

The 'Afsluitdijk' is a 32 km enclosure dam which separates the Wadden sea and the Lake IJssel. The dam currently undergoes a major rehabilitation to meet the requirements with regard to water safety. The Dutch Ministry of infrastructure and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat division) has commissioned Levvel, a consortium of BAM, Van Oord and Rebel, to prepare the design and carry out the reconstruction of the dam including sluices and highway. The project includes reinforcement of the armour layers and wave overtopping reduction. As part of the contract Rijkswaterstaat prescribed the contractor (Levvel) to verify the design with large scale physical model tests (min. 1:3 scale). These tests were carried out in the Delta Flume of Deltares. Prior to the large scale tests, smaller scale tests (1:20) have been carried out to optimize the design with regard to armour stability and wave overtopping. The research described here focuses on the wave overtopping.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/kPga0wVCCIE

Full textAbstract:
AbstractInterjurisdictional cooperation has emerged as a major recent trend in China in response to challenges from market reforms and globalization. However, given that cities are in fierce competition with one another, interjurisdictional cooperation presents many difficulties for policy making. This paper attempts to examine how cooperative partnerships can be developed, sustained, or even resisted. It uses the Guangzhou–Zhuhai Railway as a case study to explore the institutional configuration of such a practice and to understand how the historical contingencies and path-dependencies in a transitional society interact with intensive bargaining to influence partnership building. It argues that the lack of a formal institutional framework to facilitate horizontal networking forces actors to opt for ad hoc collaborative arrangements. With the objective of making joint projects workable, commitments for cooperation have to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis through extensive bargaining. Although this creates much flexibility in consensus building, it does not guarantee success: success depends on the interplay of inter-ministry politics, interscalar relations, intercity politics and state–market relations. To a certain extent, the Chinese state can go beyond economic logic and shore up its legitimacy by prioritizing development. The post-reform path-dependencies can provide current political leaders with more rather than fewer instruments with which to negotiate interjurisdictional projects, and thus have greater influence over urban and regional economic governance.

Background/Introduction:Fiji consists of 110 populated islands over an area of 2,600,000 square kilometers and is prone to disasters such as tropical cyclones.1 To increase national capacity to respond to disasters and outbreak, the Fijian government, under the commissioning of Ministry of Transport and with technical guidance from the Ministry of Health, designed a medical ship called the MV Veivueti. During Fiji’s COVID-19 surge, MV Veivueti was utilized to provide operative health services during the surge in COVID-19 patients at other health facilities.2Objectives:To describe FEMAT’s COVID-19 response utilizing the medical ship, MV Veivueti, in Fiji’s Pacific island setting.Method/Description:MV Veivueti has been used on multiple disaster responses, however the COVID-19 surge in mid-2021 was the first time the vessel was used during an outbreak to allow for the continuation of surgeries when other health facilities were overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients. The medical ship is staffed with a comprehensive team from Fiji’s EMT - FEMAT - including surgeons, pediatricians, obstetricians, a dentist, nurses, and other medical staff.Results/Outcomes:From May 5 through July 6, 2021, a 12-member medical team staffed the medical ship 24-hours a day, providing primarily operative management of cases that were referred from health facilities. COVID-19 screening and IPC measures were in place and a clear patient flow was designed for patient transferred to health care facilities.Conclusion:The use of the MV Veivueti helped ensure continuity of critical health services during the peak of the Delta VOC outbreak in the Fiji Islands.

In December 2019, a case of atypical pneumonia was reported in Wuhan, China. It was named COVID-19 and caused by SARS-CoV-2. In a few months, scientific groups around the world developed vaccines to reduce the disease’s severity. The objective was to evaluate the humoral and cellular immune response post immunization with three different vaccination schedules administered in Chile until January 2022. Sixty volunteers were recruited with a three-dose schedule, who had no history of infection nor close contact with a positive patient. IgG against the spike antigenic domain was detected, and the neutralization capacity against two groups of variants, Original/Alpha and Beta/Gamma, was also measured. Finally, the cellular response with interferon release was measured through IGRA. Results showed that there were significant differences in the neutralizing antibodies for the original and alpha variant when comparing three Comirnaty doses with Coronavac and Vaxzevria. A high number of reactive subjects against the different SARS-CoV-2 variants, alpha, gamma, and delta, were observed, with no significant differences between any of the three schemes, confirming the existence of a cellular immune response against SARS-CoV-2. In conclusion, the three vaccine schemes generated a cellular immune response in these volunteers.

Abstract Land-use change is a human process aimed at transforming the natural landscape and emphasizing the role and function of land for socio-economic activities. However, we do not know how the land transition in Vietnam has been proceeding recently. Thus, this article aims to examine the current urbanization process of land conversion in Vietnam. To explore the current situation and recent change of land use, the author analyzed standardized databases and maps from reports of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Vietnam (MoNRE), the General Statistics Office of Vietnam (GSO), and the land cover map of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Research results show that the land transition in Vietnam has been similar to the world trend. The highest land conversion rate occurs in the North Central and Central Coast regions, but conversion of agricultural land for urbanization is mainly in the Red River Delta and Southeast. The study also noted some negative socio-economic impacts of land conversion on the lives of suburban residents.

Background: Worldwide, Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection in children with peptic ulcer and/or gastritis (PUG) is increasingly common. In Vietnam, clinical symptoms of HP infection in PUG children are often non-specific, and treatment regimens currently have a low success rate. Objective: This study determined the HP infection prevalence, its clinical and endoscopic findings, and its associated factors. Additionally, the efficiencies of HP treatment regimens in PUG children were also evaluated. Design and setting: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 140 pediatric patients diagnosed with PUG at Can Tho Children’s Hospital from 2017–2019. Results: The prevalence of HP infection in PUG children was 46.4%. A significant association was found between HP infection and patient possessing a family history of HP infection (aOR: 2.35 (1.1–4.76). Symptoms of abdominal pain accounted for the highest rate of 88.6%, followed by vomiting, heartburn, epigastric burning, and gastric bleeding (57.9%, 36.4%, 22.9%, and 13.6%, respectively). Endoscopic findings denoted that inflammatory lesions accounted for 85% and ulcers accounted for 15%. The successful HP eradication rate using the PAM regimen (Proton pump inhibitor/amoxicillin/metronidazole) was 51.8%, with 13.6% of PUG children encountering side effects. Conclusion: PUG children have a high rate of HP infection. Clinical symptoms are often non-specific, in which abdominal pain is the most common symptom. The success of HP eradication by the standard guideline of the Vietnam Ministry of Health is quite low. Thus, critical adjustments in the regimens are necessary.

Non-climate-related anthropogenic processes and frequently encountered natural hazards exacerbate the risk in coastal zones and megacities and amplify local vulnerability. Coastal risk is amplified by the combination of sea level rise (SLR) resulting from climate change, associated tidal evolution, and the local sinking of land resulting from anthropogenic and natural hazards. In this framework, the authors of this investigation have actively contributed to the joint European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) Dragon IV initiative through a project (ID. 32294) that was explicitly designed to address the issue of monitoring coastal and delta river regions through Earth Observation (EO) technologies. The project’s primary goals were to provide a complete characterization of the changes in target scenes over time and provide estimates of future regional sea level changes to derive submerged coastal areas and wave fields. Suggestions are also provided for implementing coastal protection measures in order to adapt and mitigate the multifactor coastal vulnerability. In order to achieve these tasks, well-established remote sensing technologies based on the joint exploitation of multi-spectral information gathered at different spectral wavelengths, the exploitation of advanced Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) techniques for the retrieval of ground deformations, the realization of geophysical analyses, and the use of satellite altimeters and tide gauge data have effectively been employed. The achieved results, which mainly focus on selected sensitive regions including the city of Shanghai, the Pearl River Delta in China, and the coastal city of Saint Petersburg in Europe, provide essential assets for planning present and future scientific activities devoted to monitoring such fragile environments. These analyses are crucial for assessing the factors that will amplify the vulnerability of low-elevation coastal zones.

Objective. To compare epidemiological, clinical and laboratory characteristics of chronic hepatitis B (ChHB) associated with/without delta agent (ChHB+DV) study.Materials and methods. The Kyrgyzstan State Reporting Form No. 12 covering 2010–2017 period was examined. For this, 133 and 130 case histories of ChHB and ChHB+DV patients, respectively, were analyzed. The data were statiastically processed by using Microsoft Office Excel software.Results and discussion. Over the 2010–2017 period, prevalence of the “HBV Carrier” (60.4 ) was higher by 20-fold than that one for ChHB [3.8 , 95% CI (2.4–4.0)] and CVHD [3.4 , 95% CI (2.2–3.4)], as the vast majority of patients were not thoroughly examined after detecting HBsAg, and the HBV Carrier was empirically diagnosed at the primary health care units. As a result, routine case definitions for such conditions were revised and an improved system of epidemiological surveillance of viral hepatitis was developed, according to the 2016 WHO recommendations approved by the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic (Order No. 524, dated of July 20, 2018). Asthenia was observed in ~60% of patients in both groups, whereas arthralgia — in ~5–10% of patients, more often in those comorbid with ChHB+DV, and myalgia — in as low as ~3% of cases. Impaired central nervous system functions manifested as headache and restless sleep were evenly recorded in about 10–15% of patients, without significant difference between groups. In contrast, dominating dyspeptic manifestations such as poor appetite (72±3.9% vs. 20.6±3.5%, p < 0,05), nausea (23.8±3.7% vs. 7.3±2.3%, p < 0,05), vomiting (12.3±2.6% vs. 3.3±1.5%, p < 0,05) and flatulence (27±3.9% and 13±2.9%, p < 0,05) were revealed in ChHB+DV patients. Pain in the right hypochondrium was noted in 52–56% of patients, insignificantly differed between patient groups. Incidence of yellowness of the sclera and skin layers as well as skin itching were recorded by 2–3 and 8 times, respectively, more frequently in ChHB+DV patients. A more profound cytolysis and signs of altered bilirubin metabolism were also more common in HBV patients comorbid with the delta agent. Thus, a more severe ChHB+DV course requires that all patients with primary HBsAg detection were mandatorily examined for anti-HDV antibodies to ensure early diagnostics and timely organization of the secondary and tertiary preventive measures in the Kyrgyzstan.

Full textAbstract:
This study is aimed at determining the influence of stabilization by percentage increase in volume of cement on Geotechnical properties of some lateritic soils obtained from two borrow pits along Agbor-Sapele road, Western Niger Delta, Nigeria. The soils are classified as A-7-6 and A-7-5 with high percentage of Fines, averaging 60.43%. These natural soil samples falls short of the Federal Ministry of Works Standard based on grain size and consistency limits. The values of 1950.91 Kg/m3 and 22.70% obtained for maximum dry density (MDD) and optimum moisture content (OMC) when soil was treated at 10% by volume of cement, reveals the fact that higher unconfined compressive strength (UCS) values would be noticeable at 10% by volume addition of cement with increasing energy level of compaction, than that to be obtained at 5% by volume of addition of cement with MDD of 1933.80 Kg/m3 and OMC 22.78%. When the soaked California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values for treated soils were considered, the reduction in soaked CBR value is minimal at 10%, with an average of 76.33% than that obtained at 5% by volume of cement with an average of 78.45%, compacted at varying energy level. In general, the study result clearly reveals that increasing cement content would result in improved strength characteristics even as permeability decreased from 6.744x10-8 mm/s to 6.129 x 10-8 mm/s across the compaction level of the stabilized soil samples.

Per quanto possa apparire paradossale, per alcuni decenni dopo la caduta del fascismo nel mondo della giustizia convivono radicali fratture rispetto al regime e ferrea continuità nella struttura ordinamentale, negli uomini (le donne entreranno in magistratura solo nel 1964) e nelle prassi operative della magistratura italiana. Per rendersi conto di quanto fosse profonda la contraddizione tra fratture e continuità converrà richiamare per sommi capi lo stato della giustizia nel regime fascista, che a sua volta si poneva in termini di sostanziale continuità con lo Stato liberale. La magistratura non godeva né dell’indipendenza esterna dal potere esecutivo, né dell’indipendenza interna dai vertici dell’organizzazione giudiziaria e dai capi degli uffici. In particolare, il pubblico ministero era in rapporto di diretta dipendenza dal Ministro della giustizia; quanto alla magistratura giudicante, i poteri relativi allo stato giuridico (ingresso in carriera, assegnazione della sede, trasferimenti, promozioni, incarichi direttivi, azione disciplinare) erano esercitati dal Ministro della giustizia o da commissioni di alti magistrati istituite presso il ministero.

Full textAbstract:
In the first half of 2021, Israel had been ahead of other countries concerning the speed of its rollout and coverage of COVID-19 vaccinations. During that time, Israel had implemented a vaccine certificate policy, the “Green Pass Policy” (GPP), to reduce virus spread and to allow the safe relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions in a time of great uncertainty. Based on an analysis of GPP regulations and public statements compiled from the Israeli Ministry of Health website, we describe the design and implementation of the GPP. We also look back and discuss lessons learned for countries that are considering a GPP policy, given the current upsurge of the Delta variant as of summer 2021. To reduce equity concerns when introducing a GPP, all population groups should be eligible for the vaccine (contingent on approval from the manufacturer) and have access to it. Alternatively, health authorities can grant temporary certificates based on a negative test. We also highlight the fact that in practice, there will be gaps between the GPP regulations and implementation. While some places might require a GPP without legal need, others will not implement it despite a legal obligation. The GPP regulations should have standardised epidemiological criteria, be implemented gradually, remain flexible, and change according to the epidemiological risks.

Full textAbstract:
Egypt’s irrigation infrastructure comprises a vast network of dams, canals, offtakes, and ditches, which direct water from the Nile throughout the Nile Valley and Delta to millions of farmers who rely on that water to cultivate their land. In this paper, I focus on the vital work of maintenance, which keeps this infrastructure functioning and the water flowing. Yet rather than taking maintenance as an inherent good, I look critically at what exactly is being maintained. I contrast two forms of canal maintenance: first, the work that Egypt’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation conducts, mostly during an annual maintenance period; second, the maintenance that farmers conduct on an everyday basis. State-led maintenance, I argue, is as much about reasserting state authority over the irrigation system as it is about fixing problems within the system. The unsung maintenance of irrigation ditches by farmers, on the other hand, is not only about cleaning ditches but also building communal relations among farmers that are key to the delivery of the water on which they depend. Focusing attention on the decision-making processes around maintenance reveals the variegated outcomes of this work and how it maintains not only the material but also social order.

Ethical behaviour ensures employees follow organisational social norms in the conduct of their tasks and assignments. But studies have been somewhat silent on the individual-level factors influencing this positive work behaviour, especially in an African public sector context. Further, the contextual factors impacting ethical behaviour at work are yet to be fully known. Therefore, the study examined the relationship between quality of work life and work motivation on ethical behaviour given job satisfaction as a contextual factor. The study collected data from 191 mid-level employees in the Delta State Ministry of Health in Nigeria, and subjected same data to the PLS-SEM analytical procedure. The results demonstrated that job satisfaction and ethical behaviour are positively related, job satisfaction mediates quality of work life and work motivation relationship with ethical behaviour, and quality of work life relationship with ethical behaviour is mediated by work motivation and job satisfaction sequentially. The study concluded that the link between quality of work life and work motivation on ethical behaviour can be explained by the mediational mechanism of job satisfaction. The results imply that public organisations can support ethical behaviour when certain individual-level (psychological) factors are well positioned and managed to achieve desirable outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
The influence of family support and psychological capital (PsyCap) is a topical discourse in entrepreneurship studies due to the unsupportive and turbulent environments most entrepreneurs operate in. However, studies concluding on the nature and direction of family support and PsyCap effects on start-up formation appear scant. This study aims to empirically examine family support effects on start-up formation with psychological capital (PsyCap) as a mediation factor. Specific emphasis was given to extended family support. The study utilized the partial least square (PLS) method for hypotheses testing with cross-sectional data collected from 261 randomly sampled trainees in an entrepreneurship training program organized by the Delta State Ministry of Youth Development. The PLS analysis showed that family support (β = 0.317, p = 0.000) and PsyCap (β = 0.202, p = 0.000) have a significant positive effect on start-up formation. The results proved that family support and PsyCap are valuable antecedent factors for positioning entrepreneurs to engage and thrive productively in the start-up formation process. Furthermore, PsyCap did not mediate the significant positive effect of family support on start-up formation (β = 0.235, p = 0.000; β = 0.103, p = 0.052). This result demonstrates that family support may not be enough for PsyCap to transmit its significant positive effect on start-up formation. Hence, there is a need to procure other alternate support from formal or informal settings.

Blood cockle Anadara granosa is an important food source and one of the most commonly cultured species in the Mekong delta. But, cockle is a filter feeder, it can accumulate toxic metals from the water environment. This study aims conducted to evaluate the soaking effects of acetic acid in different concentrations at different times on the levels of Cd and Pb and proximate nutritional composition in the soft tissues. The levels of Pb in cockle tissue collected from Binh Dai district, Ben Tre province were over the permissible limits set by the European Commission (EC) and the Vietnamese Ministry of Health (MOH) (1.5 mg/kg). Concentrations of Cd in tissue were higher than the EC guideline of 1.0 mg/kg but lower than the MOH guideline of 2.0 mg/kg. The results showed that the removal efficiencies of two metals in cockle tissues with acetic acid were increased with increasing a range of acid concentration and soaking time. The highest removal efficiency of Cd and Pb was achieved with an acetic acid concentration of 5% and soaking in 15 minutes with minimum loss in the nutritive value of cockle tissue. After the soaking process, the levels of Cd and Pb in the tissue of the cockle were below the permissible limits recommended by the EC and the MOH.

Abstract Introduction The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying long-term neurological and cognitive disorders associated with chronic sleep restriction (CSR) are not fully understood. Here we evaluated how the sleep-wake cycle changes during and after a period of sleep restriction in rats, and whether CSR results in neurodegeneration in monoaminergic brain structures. Methods For CSR, 7-8-month-old Wistar rats underwent cycles of 3 h of sleep deprivation (SD) and 1 h of sleep opportunity (SO) continuously for 5 days on the orbital shaker. Telemetric sleep recordings were made before, during, and after CSR. Neurodegeneration in brain monoaminergic structures was assessed immunohistochemically. Results During SD, wakefulness comprised 85% of the total registration time; the remaining time was represented by drowsiness with low EEG delta power. Rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) was absent. During CSR, slow-wave sleep (SWS) and REMS were reduced by 62% and 57%. Total SWS time during SO periods increased on the first CSR day, but decreased to the baseline by the fifth CSR day. SWS EEG delta power (a measure of sleep intensity) decreased gradually from the first to the fifth CSR day. REMS total time remained elevated during all SO periods. During the first recovery day after CSR, SWS did not change, but REMS increased by 30%. No changes in total sleep time were found on the second recovery day but sleep intensity was decreased. In 14 days after CSR, all sleep parameters returned to the baseline. We revealed a loss of 24% of noradrenergic locus coeruleus neurons, 29% and 17% of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, the ventral tegmental area as well as in their striatal terminals. Conclusion We consider CSR as a damaging factor leading to a gradual suppression of homeostatic mechanisms governing sleep recovery. CSR can provoke neurodegeneration in monoaminergic structures involved in the regulation of emotional behavior, sleep, and autonomic functions.
