...Ideally, set one up 4 to 6 weeks before your trip. Most vaccines take time to become effective in your body and some vaccines must be given in a series over a period of days or sometimes weeks. If it is less than 4 weeks before you leave, you should still see your doctor. You might still benefit from shots or medications and other information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling. CDC divides vaccines for travel into three categories: routine, recommended, and required. While your doctor will tell you which ones you should have, it's best to be aware of them ahead of time. Before visiting Nigeria, you may need to get the following vaccinations and medications for vaccine-preventable diseases and other diseases you might be at risk for at your destination: (Note: Your doctor or health-care provider will determine what you will need, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, and planned activities.) To have the most benefit, see a health-care provider at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to allow time for your vaccines to take effect and to start taking medicine to prevent malaria, if you need it. Even if you have less than 4 weeks before you leave, you should still see a health-care provider for needed vaccines, anti-malaria drugs and other medications and information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling.

...Economic and Financial Outlook in 2015 External Shocks Creating New Opportunities FSDH Research January 2015 Economic and Financial Outlook: 2015-2019 1.0 Global Economic Growth: According to the World Economic Outlook (WEO) Update of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), January 2015 Edition, the global economic growth is forecast at 3.5% and 3.7%, for 2015 and 2016 respectively. The forecasts were reviewed downward by 0.3% The IMF forecasts a global economic growth of 3.5% and 3.7% for 2015 and 2016 respectively. relative to the October 2014 WEO. The revisions reflect a reassessment of prospects in China, Russia, the Euro-area, and Japan as well as the weaker activity in some major oil exporters because of the sharp drop in oil prices. The United States (U.S.) is the only major economy for which growth projections have been raised upward. The IMF added that the global growth will receive a boost from the lower oil prices. However, this boost is projected to be more than offset by the negative factors, including investment weakness as adjustment to diminished expectations about medium-term growth continues in many advanced and emerging market economies. The U.S. is expected to grow by 3.6% in 2015 and slow down to 3.3% in 2016, supported by domestic demand due to lower oil prices, more moderate fiscal adjustment, and The U.S. is expected to grow by 3.6% in 2015 and slow down to 3.3% in 2016. continued support from an accommodative monetary policy stance...

...AMERICAN SPECILIST HOSPITAL: NIGERIA BY Laruzzi Globally, health services are known to be provided at different levels by different agencies and specialists. In Nigeria, health services are taken care of by the three tiers of government, namely: The Federal, State and Local governments. These are also supported by organizations and the private individuals who establish and run private medical services. Traditional medical practitioners who serve the majority of the rural populace also belong to this privatized category. Several global organizations have played phenomenal roles in the development and sustenance of health services in Nigeria. Unfortunately a lot of these contributions go through government (mostly Federal government), which has kept very little or no record of the impact these contributions make. Another issue are the records of the exact cash amount of these contributions; they are sketchy, partly due to poor record-keeping and the volume of a contributions are in services, and in equipment and training, whose cash amount is usually difficult to establish. These organizations include WHO, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), UNICEF, World Bank and British Technical Assistance (BTA). However, it has come to the knowledge of most researchers that the rural areas have several problems. According to research, the critical set back to development in most developing countries of the world is the lack of proper and adequate...

...A FACTORIAL DESIGN TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF SPACINGS AND FERTILIZER LEVELS ON CROP GROWTH, SEED YIELD AND QUALITY IN LABLAB BEANS (Lablab purpureus.) (A CASE STUDY OF MAIN AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH STATION FARM, UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, DHARWAD ) BY ADENIYI OBANLA A. ABSTRACT This research work is an attempt to apply experimental design to boost the yield of vegetables (Lablab purpureus) through the application of fertilizer levels and spacing. The field experiment consists of two spacing viz., 45x15 cm (S1) and 60x15 cm (S2) and eight fertilizer levels viz., F1-25:50:25 kg NPK per ha (RdF), F2-33:50:25 kg NPK per ha, F3-25:67:25 kg NPK per ha, F4-25:50:33 kg NPK per ha, F5-33:67:25 kg NPK per ha, F6-25:67: 33 kg NPK per ha, F7-33:50:33 kg NPK per ha and F8-33:67:33 kg NPK per ha. This is laid out in RBD with factorial concept in three replication. Significantly higher pod yield (20.19 q/ha), seed yield (16.81 q/ha), were recorded in S1 compared to S2 spacing, Whereas, pods per plant (20.60), seeds per pod (19.29), seed yield per plant (16.54g), 100 seed weight (28.43 g), germination (70.65%), and field emergency (66.92) were higher in S2 compared to S1 spacing. More pod yield per ha (22.24 g), seed yield per ha (18.50 q), and seed yield per plant (19.95 g), 100 seed weight (32.26 g), and germination percentage (73.35) and field emergency (83.97) were higher in F8 fertilizer level compared to F1 fertilizer level.

...(Chief) Dosunmun Asogbon. The sacredness of this festival seen to have, somehow, received little modernization here and there. This seems to be the true picture of what happened during this particular celebration. In its usual manner, the celebration was held to honour an illustrious son of the land, Late Theophilus Shobowale Benson. According to Yoruba traditional belief, Eyo festival is staged for two main purposes: to commemorate the death of an Oba before the heir apparent can be swornin; and, to honour an eminent Lagosian who had contributed to the progress and development of the State – Lagos – during his/her life time. The event started at about 6:00am and lasted till about 6:30pm. It was held at the prestigious Tafawa Balawa Square, TBS. The five main Eyo, traditionally known as ‘Arch Deities’, were in their customary regalia with their groups or what the Yorubas call “Iga”. One peculiar thing about these ‘Arch Deities’ is that they dress in white regalia, but with different colour hats which help to identify them in their hierarchy. The overall leader known as Adimu wears the black hat, Ikolaba Ekun wears the red hat, Agere wears the yellow hat, Oniko wears the green hat, and Ologede wears the purple hat. This is...

...Södertörns högskola | Department of economics Magisteruppsats 30 hp | Vårterminen 2013 The Effect of External Debt On Economic growth – A panel data analysis on the relationship between external debt and economic growth. Av: Dereje Abera Ejigayehu Handledare: Joakim persson Handledare: [Handledarens namn (teckenstorlek: 12p)] Abstract The impact of external debt on economic growth is a debatable issue between scholars since the onset of the debt crisis in 1980’s. This thesis examines whether external debt affects the economic growth of selected heavily indebted poor African countries through the debt overhang and debt crowding out effect. This is carried out by using data for eight heavily indebted poor African countries between 1991 to 2010.The result from estimation shows that external debt affects economic growth by the debt crowding out effect rather than debt overhang. Moreover, in an attempt to mark out debt servicing history, the thesis found the selected countries are not paying (servicing) more than 95% of their accumulated debt.

...Benchmark Assignment: HIV Epidemiology Paper Dawn Hickey-Johnson Grand Canyon University Benchmark Assignment: HIV Epidemiology Paper “The global trends and adverse health impact of HIV, viral hepatitis, STIs, and TB remain among the major and urgent public health challenges of our time. These conditions account for substantial morbidity and mortality, with devastating fiscal and emotional costs to individuals, families, and societies. Despite decades of investment and support, the U.S. still experiences a disproportionate burden of these conditions compared with other Western industrialized nations, with substantial health disparities being observed across population subgroups and geographic regions.” (Hazel D. Dean, ScD, MPH Kevin A. Fenton, MD, PhD, 2010) This paper will focus specifically on HIV/AIDS. “ Genetic research indicates that HIV originated in west-central Africa during the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. · AIDS was first recognized by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1981 and its cause, HIV, identified in the early 1980s. ("STOP AIDS," 2009) Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome(AIDS) is a disease caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

...Health Inquiry, Global Health Inequities Introduction: The Millennium Development Goals (or MDG) are a set of 8 goals set by the world’s nations in hope of reducing poverty by 2015. These 8 goals address poverty, education, equality, disease and the environment. Each goal has a targets and indicators we are aiming to achieve by 2015. The purpose of this report is to report on the history, objectives and constitution of the MDG’s and the success and effectiveness of the MDGs. History of MDGs: In the 1990’s the United Nation (UN) member states went through a historically extraordinary UN press conference process. This conference was aimed at building consensus on development priorities for the 21st century. However, at the end of the 1990’s the governments of the conference experienced conference fatigue and feared the process launched by the conferences was losing steam. In September 2000 in New York there was a large gathering of world leaders called the Millennium Summit. This was the largest gathering of world leaders in history including 189 UN member-states. At the Millennium Summit the United Nation Millennium Declaration was adopted as a result of a series of global conferences held during the 1990’s. The UN saw the Millennium Summit as an opportunity to bring back the development of priorities for the 21st century. It was at this Millennium Summit that the Millennium Declaration set in motion a global partnership and was signed by 147 heads of states....
