Significant pathogens in peritonsillar abscesses
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2011Co-Authors: T. E. Klug, J.-j. Henriksen, K. Fuursted, T. OvesenAbstract:Peritonsillar abscesses (PTA) are polymicrobial infections, with a diverse aerobic and anaerobic flora. The aim of the present study is to compare bacteriologic culture results from patients with PTA to those from patients undergoing elective tonsillectomy (clinically non-infected tonsils), to better elucidate the pathogenic significance of various isolates. A prospective study was conducted on 36 PTA patients undergoing acute tonsillectomy and on 80 electively tonsillectomised patients. Fusobacterium necrophorum (FN) and Streptococcus group A (GAS) were isolated significantly more frequently from the tonsillar cores of PTA patients, from both the abscessed ( p = 0.001 and p = 0.046, respectively) and non-abscessed sides ( p

Significant Predictors of Henley Passport Index
Journal of International Migration and Integration, 2019Co-Authors: Hilary I. Okagbue, Pelumi E. Oguntunde, Sheila A. Bishop, Patience I. Adamu, Elvir M. Akhmetshin, Chukwuemeka O. IrohamAbstract:Henley Passport Index (HPI) is a rank on the number of countries a passport holder of a country can travel VISA-free. Countries with high HPI ranking enjoy certain passport privileges. Little is known about the relationship between HPI and other global indices. This paper investigates the relationship between HPI and the trio of Corruption Perception Index (CPI), Global Peace Index (GPI), and World Happiness Report (WHR). The data of the country ranks of the 4 indices were obtained from the respective websites of the publishers of the indices. A final sample of 150 countries was analyzed after the cases of missing values were discarded. The result showed positive correlation between HPI and CPI ( r = 0.768, p < 0.0005), GPI ( r = 0.671, p < 0.005), and WHR ( r = 0.775, p < 0.005), respectively. Regression analysis yielded an equation that showed that a unit increase in the country ranking of CPI, GPI, and WHR of countries increases the ranking of HPI by 0.196, 0.149, and 0.352, respectively. The coefficients of the independent variables are all significant at p value equals 0.05 and the model validation showed the absence of multicollinearity and the presence of small non-significant autocorrelation. The research concluded that countries with high passport privileges also have low corruption instances and conflicts and are perceived to be happy. The implications of this research were discussed.

Modelling distributions of significant wave height
Coastal Engineering, 2000Co-Authors: J.a. Ferreira, C. Guedes SoaresAbstract:Abstract The paper discusses the use of distribution functions in the description of the long-term behaviour of significant wave height data. It is shown by an example that the usual goodness-of-fit diagnostics do not ensure correct predictions of return values based on arbitrary statistical models. The possibility of defining populations of significant wave height and their associated sampling reference periods is investigated, and it is concluded that samples associated with the same reference period are subject to a significant statistical variability. A method for describing the long-term behaviour of Hs that accounts for this variability is proposed.
