An international conference was held from December 6 to 8 2016 at Adeyemi College of Education Ondo, with the theme “Mobile Populations, Fluid Boundaries: Community, Trade and Religion in Coastal Yorubaland and the Western Niger Delta.” The conference was sponsored by the European Research Council (ERC), and jointly organized by the University of Birmingham, Osun State University, and Adeyemi College of Education. Over a period of three days, many papers were presented, covering various topics and issues on mythologies, oral traditions, religion, making sense of the Yoruba littoral, economy and intergroup relations in the Gulf of Guinea during the 18th and 19th centuries, trade on the north eastern bank of the Lagos lagoon, history, religion and community formation, moral traditions of the Yoruba and non-Yoruba speaking groups, and many more.

Ekaterina Alekseevna Sidorchuk (Katya to all that knew her) (Fig.1) was born in Moscow into a family of scientists: her father was a geomorphologist and her mother a Quaternary palynologist. Soil/peat microsamples from the North Russian Quaternary, the main research material of her mother, are commonly rich in oribatid mites, which Katya started to study when she entered the Geographical Faculty of Moscow State University after completing her high school education in 1998. In the Department of Biogeography, her study of Quaternary oribatids was guided by the known Russian acarologist, the late Prof. Dmitry Krivolutsky. Katya graduated from the University in 2004 and post-graduated in 2007 when she obtained her PhD degree for the study titled “Oribatid mites as bio-indicators of environmental change during the Holocene (modern and fossil bog communities of Northern European Plain)”. The next year, 2008, she entered the A.A. Borissiak Paleontological Institute and worked at the Arthropoda Laboratory until her recent untimely departure.

AbstractEvdokimovite, ideally Tl4(VO)3(SO4)5(H2O)5, was found in a fumarole of the 1st cinder cone of the North Breach of the Great Fissure Tolbachik volcano eruption of 1975–1976, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. Evdokimovite occurs as thin, colourless needles up to 0.09 mm long associated with shcherbinaite, pauflerite, bobjonesite, markhininite, karpovite and microcrystalline Mg, Al, Fe and Na sulfates. Evdokimovite is monoclinic, P21/n, a = 6.2958(14), b = 10.110(2), c = 39.426(11) Å , β = 90.347(6)º, V = 2509.4(10) Å3 and Z = 4 (from single-crystal diffraction data). The eight strongest lines of the powder X-ray diffraction pattern are (I/d/hkl): 57/9.793/011, 100/8.014/013, 26/6.580/006, 19/ 4.011/026, 29/3.621/118, 44/3.522/125, 19/3.010/036, 21/2.974/212. Chemical composition determined by the electron microprobe analysis is (wt.%): Tl2O 55.40, VO2 14.92, SO3 25.83, H2O 5.75, total 101.90. The empirical formula for evdokimovite calculated on the basis of (Tl + V + S) = 12 a.p.f.u. is Tl4.10V2.83S5.07H10.00O27.94. The simplified formula is Tl4(VO)3(SO4)5(H2O)5. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and refined to R1 = 0.11 on the basis of 3660 independent observed reflections. V4+O6 octahedra and SO4 tetrahedra share common corners to form two types of vanadyl-sulfate chains, [(VO)(H2O)2(SO4)2]2– and [(VO)2(H2O)3(SO4)3]2–. Thallium atoms are located in between the chains. The structure can be described as a stacking of layers of two types, A and B. The A layer contains [(VO)2(H2O)3(SO4)3]2– chains and the Tl2 and Tl3 atoms, whereas the B layer contains [(VO)(H2O)2(SO4)2]2– chains and the Tl1 atoms. Stacking of the layers can be described as ...A’*BAA’B*A*..., where A and A’ denote A layers with opposite orientations of the [(VO)2(H2O)3(SO4)3]2– chains, and the A* and B* layers are rotated by 180º relative to the A and B layers, respectively. [(VO)2(H2O)3(SO4)3]2– chains are modulated and are arranged to form elliptical tunnels hosting disordered Tl(4), Tl(4A) and Tl(4B) sites. The new mineral is named in honour of Professor Mikhail Dmitrievich Evdokimov (1940–2010), formerly of the Department of Mineralogy, St Petersburg State University, for his contributions to mineralogy and petrology, and especially for teaching mineralogy to several generations of students at the University. Evdokimovite is the most complex V4+ sulfate known to date with structural information amounting to 1130 bits per unit cell, which places evdokimovite among minerals with the complexity of the vesuvianite group.

The current research examined the effect of Startup capital, Educational system and Culture on entrepreneurial intention among fresh graduate in Nigeria. The data were collected from Graduates and undergraduate’s students in the University of Lagos, Kaduna State University, Abia State University, University of Calabar and Niger Delta University, 250 questionnaires were distributed and 180 responses were collected and analyzed. The findings confirmed the strong positive relationship between variables of the study. Startup Capital/Infrastructure, Education and Cultural Factor account for 58% of the variance in Entrepreneurial intention. The study hopes to help academicians and curriculum planners to be mindful of entrepreneurship when drafting and implementing curriculum to motivate student accumulate intentions to start a business.

Oreochromis mossambicus is currently receiving much attention as a candidater species for aquaculture programs within Southern Africa. This has stimulated interest in its breeding cycle as well as the morphological characteristics of the gonads. Limited information is available on SEM and TEM observations of the male gonads. It is known that the testis of O. mossambicus is a paired, intra-abdominal structure of the lobular type, although further details of its characteristics are not known. Current investigations have shown that spermatids reach full maturity some two months after the female becomes gravid. Throughout the year, the testes contain spermatids at various stages of development although spermiogenesis appears to be maximal during November when spawning occurs. This paper describes the morphological and ultrastructural characteristics of the testes and spermatids.Specimens of this fish were collected at Syferkuil Dam, 8 km north- west of the University of the North over a twelve month period, sacrificed and the testes excised.

This report highlights some of the major developments in the area of speech anatomy and physiology drawing from the author's own research experience during his years at the University of Iowa and the University of Illinois. He has benefited greatly from mentors including Professors James Curtis, Kenneth Moll, and Hughlett Morris at the University of Iowa and Professor Paul Lauterbur at the University of Illinois. Many colleagues have contributed to the author's work, especially Professors Jerald Moon at the University of Iowa, Bradley Sutton at the University of Illinois, Jamie Perry at East Carolina University, and Youkyung Bae at the Ohio State University. The strength of these researchers and their students bodes well for future advances in knowledge in this important area of speech science.
