Abstract:

The missionary upsurge of the mid-nineteenth century resulted in the establishment of the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria (PCN) in 1846. The mission was undertaken through the sponsorship of the United Secession Church and later the United Presbyterian Church (UPC), which subsequently became part of the United Free Church of Scotland. In 1876, the ‘white African mother’ and ‘Queen’ of Calabar, Mary Slessor, arrived in Calabar as a missionary of the UPC. She served for thirty-nine years, died and was buried in Calabar. This paper presents a contextual background for understanding the missionary work of Miss Slessor. It critically surveys some of her legacies within Nigeria, and demonstrates how contemporary PCN and Nigerians are appropriating them. The paper further analyses the state of contemporary Nigerian-Scottish partnership and argues for new patterns of relationship between Nigeria and Scotland which draw on the model of Miss Slessor.

Abstract:

Introduction: Physical inactivity is reported among 41% of Nigerians and 73.8% of adults in Calabar have been reported to be either overweight or obese. Obesity is a chronic disorder marked by excessive generalized deposition and storage of fat in human body. It is indicated by a Body Mass Index of 30kg/m2 and above. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity among the staff of the University of Calabar, Calabar, Nigeria.Methods: A total of 321 staff in University of Calabar participated in this cross sectional study. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select faculties, departments, offices and respondents. Data was collected using a semi-structured and self administered questionnaire, a well calibrated weighing scale, a calculator and a checklist. Data analysis was done using IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20.0.Results: Of the 321 respondents, 55.1% were males and 60.0% were non-teaching. One hundred and twenty nine (40.0%) of the staff were 31-40 years. A total of 43.6% had normal weight, 35.5% were overweight while 19.6% were obese. A total of 45.1% were estimated to be physically inactive and 24.0% did not intend to begin exercises within the next six months. Majority, 91.3% of respondents were knowledgeable about overweight/obesity and 60.4% correctly mentioned at least one possible health implication of overweight/obesity but only 24.3% could define overweight and obesity based on Body Mass Index and most staff (72.0%) believed they had normal weight. Conclusion: The percentage of those found to be either overweight or obese is remarkable and the need to educate staff of the implication and ways to avoid over-nutrition. To avoid the increased risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases including communicable diseases, preventive health education and regular health checks for staff are recommended.

Abstract:

This study assessed how Nigerian Communications Commission’s media activities helped to create meaningful positive awakening on the knowledge, attitude and perception (KAP) of telecoms users’ rights among mobile phone users in Calabar, Nigeria. It adopted the descriptive survey research method and used Perception Theory and Uses and Gratifications Theory to lend theoretical support to it. Out of 400 copies of a questionnaire distributed, 385 were retrieved. Findings included that NCC’s media activities on telecoms users’ rights were intensive and helped to create positive awakening on the knowledge of telecoms users’ rights in Calabar, thus leading them to exhibit positive attitude and perception towards the overall awareness campaign on their rights. It was recommended that NCC should carry out more independent studies in other localities across Nigeria with a view to ascertaining the extent of telecoms consumers’ knowledge of their rights, particularly among rural dwellers.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: X-ray and sonomammography constitute a significant option in the early detection and management of breast diseases in the developed world. Unfortunately these modalities became available in Nigeria, only in the past few decades.AIM: The aim of this audit is therefore to document the imaging findings, in the past three years in a developing facility in Nigeria relating them with the demograghic features.METHODS: We prospectively studied the x-ray and sonomammography in all patients, presenting over a three year period, for breast evaluation with the hope of discerning the epidemiologic pattern of breast lesions in this environment.RESULTS: One hundred and forty-five females and four males. Median was 38 years (IQR=30-48). The commonest reason for evaluation was screening. Patients that were below 38 years showed no significant difference in frequency and type of lesion compared with patients over 38 years. The commonest breast pattern was fatty replaced. The upper outer quadrant was the commonest site.CONCLUSION: Patients presenting for breast evaluation in Calabar do so for screening mainly. Patients below 38 are nearly equally affected by malignant breast disease as their older counterparts. The commonest breast pattern was fatty replaced. Digital mammography should be available in all tertiary institutions.

Abstract:

Neurofibrosarcoma is a malignancy that occurs more frequently in patients with neurofibromatosis- 1 (NF- 1) and rarely may arise independently. This is a presentation of 3 consecutive patients with histologic diagnosis of neurofibrosarcoma who presented to the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar from 2011-2013. Two patients presented were associated with NF-1 and were a decade younger than the one without NF-1. Late presentation and poor follow up were notable underlying factors. Long term follow up of patients with NF -1 for early diagnosis and adequate treatment will improve outcome.

Abstract:

This research investigated the effect of self-determination theory (SDT) elements on the retention of nurses at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH) in Calabar, Nigeria. The primary focus was to analyze how SDT components like autonomy, competence, and relatedness influence nurse retention at UCTH. Utilizing a cross-sectional research design, the study collected primary data via structured questionnaires from 206 general nurses at UCTH. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data, and multiple regression was employed to test the hypotheses. The results indicated that SDT factors—autonomy, competence, and relatedness—had significant positive effects on nurse retention at UCTH. These results underscore the critical importance of nurturing self-determination motivation elements in public hospitals like UCTH to improve nurse retention. Therefore, the study advised that public hospital managers in Nigeria should establish a supportive work environment that promotes nurses' independence in patient care and evaluation. It is also essential to prioritize continuous training and skill enhancement to elevate technical proficiency and the quality of patient care. Furthermore, fostering a culture of social interaction and professional relationships among staff is key to boosting nurses' sense of belonging and worth in the workplace. The study also highlighted the need for extensive research to gain a deeper understanding of the link between SDT factors and employee retention in Nigerian healthcare. Future research should encompass other healthcare professionals in addition to nurses to offer comprehensive insights for effective retention strategies in the Nigerian public health sector.

Architectural spaces undoubtedly affect and influence the actions and attitudes of users. The study aims to integrate therapeutic techniques in rehabilitation centre design with enhanced spatial efficiency for holistic patient treatment to integrate them back into society. The methodology of the study is both theoretical and practical, involving a literature review, appraisal of case studies; observations, use of interviews and architectural design principles to formulate and produce a design model for a rehab centre in Calabar, Nigeria. Findings revealed that there are no known well-designed centres to rehabilitate victims of drug addiction in Calabar, Nigeria. The few centres available function as detention and discriminating spaces. The study concludes that rehab centres that focus on the therapeutic healing principles approach, which deals with patients’ mental, psychological, social and spiritual needs, should be developed in Calabar and other cities in Nigeria for swift rehabilitation of addicts.

Abstract:

This paper examines the phenomenon of Skolombo in Calabar (Nigeria) in relation to the challenge of urban subalternism in that context. This is against the backdrop of the evolution of the Skolombo into a rising urban subaltern category involved in the underworld and ant-social activities. By means of exploratory and conversational discourse that relies on extant literature as well as insights from personal communications, the paper posits that Skolombo phenomenon represents an existential struggle by abandoned and rejected street children who are surviving against structural societal victimization. Away from home, these children have found the streets, not only an inevitable abode but also a space for opportunistic survival. Over the years, they have evolved a pattern of street living characterized, among other things, by restiveness, touting, gangsterism, and criminality. Associated with this pattern of existence is an emerging subaltern identity that highlights a crisis of urbanity in Calabar metropolis of Nigeria. Keywords: Calabar, Skolombo, street living, subaltern identity, urban criminality, urban subalternism

Abstract:

<p class="1Body">The study is aimed at examining the vulnerability of some residential neighbourhoods in Calabar to the menace of flooding with a view to determining residential areas of high, medium and low flood risk. Two hypotheses were formulated such as: there is no significant relationship between the magnitude of flood, and the vulnerability of residential neighbourhoods and the elements-at-risk to flood in residential neighbourhoods in Calabar do not vary significantly according to the topography of the area. The major primary data were obtained from the metric measurement of the coverage of flood and the assessment of the numerical value of the residential buildings considered vulnerable to flood within the areas measured. Secondary data were also obtained from the collection of both published and unpublished materials and data on flooded buildings and displaced persons were also obtained from the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), Calabar. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and hypotheses tested using the regression coefficient of the least square method and scatter grams for prediction. The results of the hypotheses were found to be significant as the magnitude of flood determined the vulnerability of some residential neighbourhoods. Vulnerability was found to be higher in low lying residential neighbourhoods. The study, however, recommends among others, planned and autonomous adaptation responses, flood plain zoning to urban agriculture, landscaping and recreational uses. Proper channelization of Calabar urban drainage system, stringent flood control legislation, and development control measures should be enforced so as to discourage people from building on or near flood-prone areas of Calabar.</p>

The sample size for the study was two hundred and twenty six (226) using Krejcie and Morgan table of 1970. The hypothesis was tested and analyzed using a simple linear regression analysis model applying a statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 23. The study found that there are positive effects of conflict avoidance strategy on employees’ performance of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar. There is a significant effect of conflict collaboration strategy on employees’ commitment to goals achievement. There is a significant relationship between conflict accommodation strategy and employees’ motivation. There is also a significant conflict mediation strategy on employees’ involvement in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar. Based on the findings, the study recommended that management of organizations or institutions should monitor and intervene on issues that can lead to conflicts in order to enhance employees’ performance by adopting avoidance strategies. Management should employ a collaboration strategy or approach of win-win method of conflict resolution in order to enhance employees’ commitment. Management should also attend to conflicting situations as urgently as possible in order to avoid those factors that can hinder employees’ motivation and commitment to goal achievement. Management should also use a mediator in resolving conflicts on a continuous basis.

Abstract:

The availability of significant solar resource and the continuous hike in economic activities as well as an increased population in Calabar Municipal holds a substantial solar photovoltaic (PV) potential of rooftops in the city. This is as a result of the consequent increase in urban households. This Research work is aimed at estimating solar PV potential of rooftops in the study area using geospatial techniques. It adopted Geospatial techniques’ approach in identifying rooftops available for PV deployment in Calabar Municipal. High resolution satellite imagery gotten from google Earth, Digital surface model (DSM)/ Digital elevation model (DEM) and ArcGIS 10.8 were employed in this study. In other to estimate the PV potential of rooftops, criteria such as Solar Radiation/ Irradiance, Total Roof Area (Building footprints), Slope (rooftop inclination angle) and Aspect (Buildings’ orientation) were analyzed. The results gotten from these analyses were analyzed further and rooftops that fall below the acceptable range of the aforementioned criteria were excluded from the analysis. Results showed that the total roof area in Calabar Municipal was estimated as 5,965,916.44 m2 (5.97 km2) while the available roof area suitable for PV installations was evaluated as 5,964,966.42 m2 (5.96 km2). The findings of this research indicates that Calabar Municipal has good solar radiation as well as enough suitable rooftop area hence a very good place for solar PV deployments. Also, this study is accurate enough to be used as a guide in decision making on power (electricity) generation in Calabar Municipal of Cross River State.

Abstract:

Purpose of the study: This paper examined the housing quality, its affordability as well as the housing choices which residents of Calabar can make. Housing needs in the city continue to rise in response to rapid urbanization rates and thus lead to high housing demands. Methodology: About 384 questionnaires were distributed randomly within six purposively delineated housing districts in Calabar with a 78 percent success rate. The stratification covered all the housing types, from the low to medium and the high classes. The coordinates of respondents were also collected for spatial analyses in which the inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation method was used to create housing choice maps in the identified districts of the city. The Chi-square statistics were used to test the statistical significance of the created contingency tables. Main Findings: Significant relationship exist between housing affordability and housing quality ((f) = 11.463, p-value = 0.022 (p < 0.05)), and between average monthly income and expenditure on rented residential housing in Calabar ((f) = 539.473, p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05)). Housing in the metropolis is not affordable to about 80% of residents who expend more than 30% of their income on housing. Applications of this study: This study helps shape the policy direction of government in housing provision and such, encourage private developers in the sector. Novelty/Originality of this study: Previous studies only addressed housing cost and provision, not a choice, quality, and affordability. This is the first study to address residential housing choices, quality, and affordability in the Calabar metropolis, involving a cross-sectional survey questionnaire. The results will be helpful to developers, homebuyers, and policymakers alike towards affordable housing delivery in Calabar and others. African cities.

Abstract:

Aim: This study was carried out to unravel the morphological variations that exist among ant species in the Rainforest zone of the University of Calabar Community. Method: Ants were collected from three locations (Botanical Garden, Cameroon and Unical Farms) within the University of Calabar. Direct hand-picking method and the pitfall traps method were utilized for sample collection. Thereafter, different morphological parameters including total length, head width, eye length, etc. were measured and analysed. Results: The results obtained showed a dominance of Formicinae with 3 species (35 %), followed by Myrmicinae with 2 species (30 %), and lastly Ponerinae and Dolichoderinae and Dorylinae with one species (5 %) each. A total of 7, 4 and 2 ant species were collected from the University of Calabar Botanical Garden, Cameroun and University of Calabar Farm sites respectively. Out of the 7 ant species, 3 species (50 %) were common to all the locations on campus, while another 2 species (45 %) were found exclusive to the Botanical Garden site. Conclusions: This work established that the morphology of ant faunas found in various areas of the campus varied significantly. It also concluded that the morphological space occupied by the ant fauna of the Botanical Garden was significantly larger than those collected from the other locations.

Abstract:

The study analysed the practice of diabetic self care among diabetic farmers in University of Calabar Teaching Hospital Calabar, Nigeria. One hundred and twenty (120) respondents were selected through a multi-stage sampling procedure from diabetic rural farmers attending diabetic clinic in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and chi-square test respectively. The study revealed that a good proportion (52.5%) of the respondents were males while 47.5% were females. The study revealed through a check list that majority (75.00%) had regular blood glucose check, 70.00 percent had contact with health care providers whenever infections occurred, while 60.83 percent had their meal plan regularly. Constraints affecting diabetic self care practice include lack of technical knowhow on the practice of self care, negative attitude towards diabetes and poor communication between agricultural extension workers, health extension workers and the rural farmers in the study area. The chi square test indicated that, there was no significant relationship between level of education and practice of self-care among diabetic rural farmers in the study area at 5% level of significance with an X2 value of 5.99. The study calls for greater synergy between rural farmers, agricultural extension agents, health workers and diabetic clinics in the study area. This will bring hope and courage to diabetic rural farmers in the study area. How to Cite: John B. Effion, Imaobong O. Enenyi, 2023.

Abstract:

Background: Embalming chemicals such as formaldehyde has been shown to be toxic to human system. It’s carcinogenicity effect and ability to cause adverse health conditions has been reported. Formalin is the aqueous solution of formaldehyde and it is converted to H2C (OH)2 when dissolved in water. This study was done to provide information on the effect of formaldehyde on the platelet count and platelet indices of mortuary workers.Methods: Total of 64 subjects were recruited for the study based on convenience sampling method in Calabar, Cross River State. The test group comprised of 32 mortuary workers with age ranging from 18-60 years from University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, General Hospital, Navy Hospital, Anatomy Department-University of Calabar and Infectious Disease Hospital, all in Calabar Meteropolis and 32 non-mortuary workers of the same age bracket from Calabar municipality served as control. Sample collection was by venipuncture and method of analysis was by the use of automated haematology analyzer.Results: This study shows that mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width were significantly increased p<0.01) in mortuary workers. The platelet count of mortuary workers were also significantly decreased (p=0.918) when compared to non-mortuary workers. Three out of thirty two mortuary workers had giant forms of platelet. The result also shows that long term exposure to formaldehyde can cause a reduction in the platelet count and platelet indices of mortuary workers.Conclusions: This study has shown that exposure to formaldehyde has a negative alteration on the platelet count and platelet indices of mortuary workers.

Abstract:

Electricity generation in rural communities is an acute problem militating against socioeconomic well-being of the populace in these communities in developing countries, including Nigeria. In this paper, assessments of wind-energy potential in selected sites from three major geopolitical zones of Nigeria were investigated. For this, daily wind-speed data from Katsina in northern, Warri in southwestern and Calabar in southeastern Nigeria were analysed using the Gumbel and the Weibull probability distributions for assessing wind-energy potential as a renewable/sustainable solution for the country’s rural-electrification problems. Results showed that the wind-speed models identified Katsina with higher wind-speed class than both Warri and Calabar that were otherwise identified as low wind-speed sites. However, econometrics of electricity power simulation at different hub heights of low wind-speed turbine systems showed that the cost of electric-power generation in the three study sites was converging to affordable cost per kWh of electric energy from the wind resource at each site. These power simulations identified cost/kWh of electricity generation at Kaduna as €0.0507, at Warri as €0.0774, and at Calabar as €0.0819. These bare positive implications on renewable/sustainable rural electrification in the study sites even as requisite options for promoting utilization of this viable wind-resource energy in the remote communities in the environs of the study sites were suggested.

Abstract:

Aim: Locally prepared drinks and beverages are gradually replacing the conventional sugary carbonated soft drinks, particularly because of the health effects associated with some of the components in these drinks. This study was aimed at evaluating the bacteriological quality of locally produced drinks/beverages (kunu, zobo, tiger-nut and pineapple drinks), produced and sold in Calabar metropolis. Methodology: Samples (tiger-nut, zobo, kunu and pineapple drink) were collected from five different markets within the study area and evaluated using standard bacteriological techniques. Results: The mean aerobic bacterial ranged from 21.6 ± 0.8 x 105 CFU/mL to 208.8 ± 2.02 x 105 CFU/mL. The coliform counts ranged from 5.8 ± 0.49 x 105 CFU/mL to 187.2 ± 2.10 x 105 CFU/mL. The staphylococcal counts ranged from 29.8 ± 0.92 x 105 CFU/mL to 194.4 ± 1.64 x 105 CFU/mL. Coagulase-negative Staphylococci was the most predominant isolates (27.0%), followed by Escherichia coli (12.2%) and Enterobacter sp (10.4%). Other bacteria genera detected include Bacillus sp, Lactobacillus sp, Pseudomonas sp, Proteus sp, Micrococcus sp, Klebsiella sp, Serratia sp, Citrobacter sp, and Streptococcus sp and Listeria sp. Conclusion: This study revealed that the bacteriological quality of the analyzed samples was above the acceptable standards and as such a potential risk to public health. Therefore, education for vendors on food safety and hygienic practices is essential to reduce contamination rate. Furthermore, regular inspection on food vending practices and safety of ready-to-eat foods is required to improve the health standards of consumers.
