EXAMINING THE LEVEL OF STADIUM SECURITY AND SAFETY DURING NIGERIA PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE MATCHES

The purpose of this study was to examine the level of stadium security and safety employed during Nigeria Professional Football League Matches; this is due to the fact that security during the NPFL seems to be ineffective with reports of violence, assaults and pandemonium springing up indiscriminately. A descriptive survey research design was utilized with ten (10) stadia that participated in the NPFL 2018/2019 football league season and their managers being the respondents. Seven (7) security parameters were identified including entry and exit systems, Venue Operations Centre (VOC), Closed Circuit Television (CCTV), Protection of the field of play, public announcer room, stewards’ management and police attendance. Results indicated that majority of the security measures to ensure spectator safety are not followed as recommended by FIFA and the green guide; with CCTV and VOC non-existent in almost all the stadia in the study. Results are discussed in relation to previous studies.  Article visualizations

Dataset on theoretical bio-evaluation of 1,2,4-thiadiazole-1,2,4-triazole analogues against epidermal growth factor receptor kinase down regulating human lung cancer

Data from eight 1,2,4-thiadiazole-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were used to observe the anti-epidermal growth factor receptor kinase activities of 1,2,4-thiadiazole-1,2,4-triazole analogues thereby reducing human lung cancer. The software used to achieve this work were Spartan 14, Pymol, mgltools_win32_1.5.6, Auto dock vina and biovia2019.ds2019client. Also, the developed QSAR model was developed using the screened descriptors so as to inspect the closeness between the experimental IC50 and the predicted IC50. More so, the binding affinity from 1,2,4-thiadiazole-1,2,4-triazole derivatives - epidermal growth factor receptor kinase complexes using molecular docking approach were reported. Also, the ADMET properties for selected compounds and proposed compounds with better binding affinity were reported

A multicultural study of stereotyping in English-speaking countries

Citizens of 9 different English-speaking countries (N = 619) evaluated the average, or typical, citizen of 5 English-speaking countries (Great Britain, Canada, Nigeria, United States, Australia) on 9 pairs of bipolar adjectives. Participants were drawn from Australia, Botswana, Canada, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, the United States, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. There were statistically significant similarities in the rankings of the 5 stimulus countries on 8 of the 9 adjective dimensions and a strong convergence of autostereotypes and heterostereotypes on many traits. The results relate to previous stereotyping research and traditional methods of assessing the accuracy of national stereotypes
