This study was carried out to measure terrorism effects on components of tourism businesses (hotels) in northeastern Nigeria using Boko Haram as a case study. Secondary data on nature, date, and the number of fatalities from the Boko Haram attack was sourced from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED). Data on tourism businesses including hotel room occupancy rate, revenue profile, and employees’ profile was sourced from each state tourism development board. A total of 558 hotels were selected in a one-stage cluster sampling technique. The study adopts a longitudinal research design where inferential statistics was performed with the use of SPSS. Results revealed that Boko Haram attacks had significant effects on tourism businesses contributing to the decline in the number of hotel employees, revenue, and room occupancy rate of hotels in the region. The study, therefore, recommends intense media promotion of the areas and States not majorly affected by the crisis, rebuilding of areas and States recovered from the group, provisions of more resilient security apparatus, and general development of social, educational, and economic infrastructures to help revamp the socioeconomic life of the area.

This study was on the spatial exploration of Boko Haram terrorist attacks and its influence on components of tourism businesses (hotels) in Northeastern Nigeria. Secondary data on location, nature, date, and number of fatalities from the Boko Haram attack were sourced from Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED). Data on the location of hotels were sourced from the field with the use of the Geographic Positioning System (GPS). A total of 558 hotels were selected in a one-stage cluster sampling technique. The study adopts a longitudinal research design where centrographic analysis was carried out to describe the spatial distribution of events. Results of the study revealed that Boko Haram attacks were more coordinated rather than a random occurrence with most of the attacks concentrated in Borno State. Furthermore, Boko Haram did not directly target tourism businesses though some of the hotels fell within a 1.5km radius of the attacks. The study, therefore, recommends for an intense media promotion of the areas and States not majorly affected by the crisis, rebuilding of areas and States recovered from the group, provisions of more resilient security apparatus, and general development of social, educational, and economic infrastructures to help revamp not only the tourism sector of the area but its general socioeconomic activities.

Chronic Energy Deficiency

Background. The prevalence of undernutrition in low- and middle-income countries is still remarkably high. Undernutrition during adulthood is a greater risk factor for low productivity, poor health, and mortality. There is limited information on the prevalence and determinants of chronic energy deficiency in Ethiopia. Objective. To assess the prevalence and determinants of chronic energy deficiency among adults aged 18–59 years in Ethiopia. Method. A secondary data analysis was conducted using the data obtained from the 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey. Data were collected using a multistage stratified cluster sampling technique, and the analytic sample consisted of 9,280 adults aged 18–59 years. The chi-square test and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used, and p value <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Result. A total of 9280 adults aged 18–59 years were included in the study and 2911 (28.7%) (95% CI: 27.0%–30.4%) of whom were chronic energy deficient. Adults who have no work (AOR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.16, 1.72), male adults from Tigray region (AOR = 2.23, 95% CI: 1.61, 3.09), Afar region (AOR = 2.98, 95% CI: 2.04, 4.36), Somali region (AOR = 3.14, 95% CI: 2.19, 4.52), Gambella region (AOR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.29, 2.76), Harari region (AOR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.19), Amhara region (AOR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.13), Oromia region (AOR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.07, 2.19), Dire Dawa (AOR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.03, 2.05), adults live lonely (AOR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.21, 1.71), and adults residing in poor wealth index households (AOR = 1.26 : 95% CI: 1.07, 1.49) were significantly associated with chronic energy deficiency. Conclusion and recommendation. Chronic energy deficiency among male adults in Ethiopia was a high public health problem. Marital status, wealth index, occupation, and region were significant predictors of chronic energy deficiency. The Ministry of Health with other partners should strictly monitor and evaluate interventions that are being applied and should give focus to adult men to prevent malnutrition.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to establish the relationship between interest rates and gearing ratios of firms listed in the Nairobi Securities Exchange.Methodology: The study was carried out using a longitudinal research design, employing secondary quantitative data. The population for this study constituted of all listed companies in the Nairobi Securities Exchange. As at December 2013, there are 62 companies listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. This study did not sample and hence a census survey was carried out for the study. The study used secondary data. All the data was collected by review of documents, annual reports of the companies, the Nairobi Securities Exchange Handbooks and published books of accounts. The selected period was year 2009 to year 2013 (5 years).The researcher used frequencies, averages and percentages in this study. The researcher used Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to generate the descriptive statistics and also to generate inferential results. Regression analysis was used to demonstrate effect of interest rate on the gearing ratio of listed firms.Results: These results showed that there is a negative relationship between gearing ratio and interest expense and profitability as supported by beta coefficients of -0.486 and -0.129 respectively. Firm size had a positive correlation (0.275), which means that an increase in firm size causes an increase in the gearing ratio. The analysis also yields results that showed that interest expense, firm size and profitability were statistically significant.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: the study recommended that; the firms should adopt strategies that increase their firm size resulting to a scenario whereby they increase their collateral and thus granting them the ability to access more debt, firms should ensure that they optimize their profits so as to reduce their gearing ratio and thus cause growth, firms should seek to adopt other ways of financing their activities since interest expense had a negative relationship with gearing ratio.

Violent Extremism

The various activities carried out by the fundamentalist group called Boko Haram have created fear among the populace and the international communities. This group was the first set in Nigeria to be labeled as an insurgent organization by the United State of America and its associates. Since 2009 to date the group has carried out so many violent activities in the North-eastern Nigeria through Kidnapping, suicide bombing, attacks on innocent citizens and robbery. The study explores the usefulness of Geographical Information System (GIS) in understanding the various pattern and nature of insurgency in Borno State. In other to achieve this aim, the study provided the following objectives which include updating the existing database of insurgency activities in Borno State showing the pattern of the nature of insurgency in Borno state from 2009 to 2017 and identifing the area with the highest and lowest insurgency activities in the state. Secondary data where utilized from Armed Conflict Location and Events Dtat (ACLED) 2018 version, and security records. ArcGIS was employed for the analysis of the spatial pattern of the nature of insurgency. The result shows that suicide bombing was the commonest nature of insurgency in the study area with 505 incidence, while attacks on foreigners was the least with 9 incidence. It further shows that Maiduguri had the highest insurgency incidence throughout the period of study. The study therefore recommended that adequate security measures showed be employed, rollout counter violent extremism programs and emphasized the humanitarian dimension of international aid.
