Analysis of aeromagnetic data over Garkida and environs, North-Eastern Nigeria

The study area lies between latitude 10o00’ and 11o00’N and longitudes 12o 15’ and 13o 15’E in the Northeastern basement complex of Nigeria. The total magnetic intensity over Garkida and its environs after the digitization showed magnetic signature ranging from 7720 nT to 7960 nT. Two dimensional Spectral analysis of Aeromagnetic data over the area has been carried out in order to determine the average depth to magnetic sources .The analysis indicate two source depths which vary from 750 m to 2285 m for deeper sources and 150 m to 744 m for shallower sources .The deeper magnetic source depths in the northern part of the study area coincide with the margins of Chad basin bordering the basement complex; while the shallower depths indicate the presence of intrusive rocks in thearea. As illustrated in the azimuth diagram, the magnitude and structural trends of NE-SW, NW-SE, E-W and N-S observed in the area could be good host for secondary mineralization. The structural lineaments from this study are in agreement with the reported deformational Episodes in the area

Young people, inequality and violence during the COVID-19 lockdown in Uganda

This working paper reports findings from a qualitative study on how response measures during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in Uganda have affected the lives of adolescent young people. The study was conducted as part of a broader research project: Contexts of Violence in Adolescence Cohort Study (CoVAC), with data collected through mobile phone interviews in May-June 2020 with 18 girls and 16 boys (mainly aged 16-19 years) who have been participants in our longitudinal study. The data are contextualized within longitudinal biographical narratives of these young people that have been developed since 2018 and which helped us to illuminate the significance of the crisis in their everyday lives. The analysis shows how effects on young people of the lockdown varied according to gender, location, mobility and socio-economic background, amplifying inequalities and creating the conditions for multiple forms of violence

Groundwater Exploration Using Electrical Resistivity Method A Case Study In Federal Capital Teritory (FCT) Abuja. Nigeria

Eighteen resistivity data points were sounded in the study area with ABEM Terrameter,nbsp Maximum electric current half spacing attained for each point 100m away. Schulumbergers array was used for acquisition of data after which two methods of interpreting the data were used, qualitatively and quantitatively the raw data were interpreted with IXD1 software. Possible groundwaternbsp potential areas were detected.nbsp Out of the 18 VES points, VES 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17 and 18 have groundwater potentials at depth ranging from 40 m ndash 80 m. The thickness of the aquifers with such potentials ranges from 37 m ndash 65 m.nbsp VES 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 14, and 15 lacks fractured zone as such groundwater cannot be explored at these VES points. The X, Y, Z, data file was imported into Surfer9 software for resistivity mapping and contouring using kriging interpolation algorithm. The resistivity of the first layer of these points with groundwater potentials ranges from 500 ohm ndashm to 9000 ohms ndash m. While the resistivity value of the second layer ranges from 50 ohm ndash m to 800 ohm ndash m, and the resistivity value of the third layer ranges from 80 ohm ndash m to 700 ohm ndash m. The mapsnbsp that were plotted was done using the resistivity values of the first, second and third layer of VES points with groundwater potentials while the elevation above sea level was used to producenbsp map of thenbsp study area and VES points.nbspnbs

Tectono-Metamorphic Deformation and Structures of Mubi-Hong Area, NE, Nigeria

The Mubi-Hong area constitutes part of the northeast basement complex of Nigeria and has experienced tectono-metamorphic deformation distinguished into D1, D2 and D3 events. The resultant effect is production of varied ductile and brittle structures (faults, folds, mineral stretching and foliation) which trends mostly in NNW-SSE direction, with other components NNE-SSW and NE-SW. Deformation and metamorphism in the area can be described as being progressive as indicated by the varied nature of synclinal-anticlinal folds. The tensile tectonism is also responsible for the structures and subsequent emplacement of large volumes of granitoids during Pan-African (600+150Ma). A Multi directional orientation of brittle, planar and linear structures in the area suggests that the area have undergone polyphase deformation similar to those in other parts of the Nigerian basement complex

Accounting for drinking water quality in measuring multidimensional poverty in Ethiopia.

The Multidimensional Poverty Index is used increasingly to measure poverty in developing countries. The index is constructed using selected indicators that cover health, education, and living standards dimensions. The accuracy of this tool, however, depends on how each indicator is measured. This study explores the effect of accounting for water quality in multidimensional poverty measurement. Access to drinking water is traditionally measured by water source types. The study uses a more comprehensive measure, access to safely managed drinking water services, which are free from E. coli contamination, available when needed and accessible on premises in line with Sustainable Development Goal target 6.1. The study finds that the new measure increases national multidimensional headcount poverty by 5-13 percentage points, which would mean that 5-13 million more people are multidimensionally poor. It also increases the poverty level in urban areas to a greater extent than in rural areas. The finding is robust to changes in water contamination risk levels and Multidimensional Poverty Index aggregation approaches and weighting structures
