This book helps to recognize the rights of refugees and provides a framework to identify and approach health needs, from basic elements like service mapping and initial interventions to more complex elements of ongoing healthcare and support and broader topics such as migration public health, migration policy and health systems. Beyond biomedical frameworks, it draws on socio-ecological models to inform assessments and integrated models of care to improve health and health equity. Set out in three comprehensive sections: public health theory (Part 1), applied public health (Part 2), and clinical approaches (Part 3), this book draws on multiple disciplines and insights from humanitarians, academics, policy experts, and clinicians from diverse contexts, with expertise in forced migration, to create an accessible reference tool to inform healthcare professionals' interactions with forcibly displaced individuals and populations in all contexts for both high and low resource countries. Apart from providing information across the spectrum of health issues, clinical specialties and global contexts, it discusses associated areas, including human rights and law, public health, medical anthropology and cultural awareness. Key Features: Bridges the gap between existing academic literature on refugee health and guidelines for health management in humanitarian emergencies Helps to develop an integrated approach to healthcare provision, allowing healthcare professionals and humanitarians to adapt their specialist knowledge for use in forced migration contexts and with refugees. Recognizes the complex and interconnected needs in displacement scenarios and identifies holistic and systems-based approaches. Covers public health theory, applied public health and clinical aspects of forced migration.

Nitrogen is considered the most limiting nutrient element for crop production. Therefore Nitrogen fertilizer ranks first among the external inputs required to maximize output in agriculture but in turn, contributes substantially to environmental pollution. Integration of legumes in cropping systems serves to minimize reliance on nitrogen fertilizers and their efficacy in fixing atmospheric nitrogen can be enhanced via rhizobial inoculation. Three greenhouse inoculation trials involving soybean, cowpea and groundnut with five rhizobia strains (MAR 1495, TSBF Mixture, Legumefix, HiStick and IRj 2180A) were carried out on two soil types (Inceptisol and Ultisol) collected from the Nigerian savanna. The objectives were to observe the crops' response to soil type and the ability of the strains in establishing symbiotic relationship with the different grain legumes. The results show that response to inoculation differs among soil types, only soybean and groundnut responded to rhizobial inoculation and two rhizobia strains (MAR 1495 and TSBF Mixture) were effective on soybean and groundnut.

This book is a research work into some aspects of the Limnology and Fisheries potential of a typical African Man made Lake. It documented the physico-chemical parameters of the Lake and the distributions/abundance of the Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, Macro-invertebrates and the composition of the Fish species of Sabke Lake, which is a shallow Freshwater Lake located in Katsina State, Nigeria. The book is written to assist the professional who will want to make comparative studies with other Lakes and the amateur who will develop interest in the field of ecology. Emphasis is placed on understanding the dynamic interrelationships that take place in the ecosystem.

Infectious Disease Epidemiology is a concise reference guide which provides trainees and practicing epidemiologists with the information that they need to understand the basic concepts necessary for working in this specialist area. Divided into two sections, part one comprehensively covers the basic principles and methods relevant to the study of infectious disease epidemiology. It is organised in order of increasing complexity, ranging from a general introduction to subjects such as mathematical modelling and sero-epidemiology. Part two examines key major infectious diseases that are of global significance. Grouped by their route of transmission for ease of reference, they include diseases that present a particular burden or a high potential for causing mortality. This practical guide will be essential reading for postgraduate students in infectious disease epidemiology, health protection trainees, and practicing epidemiologists.
