This paper examines the perceived extent of safe school environment practices among tertiary institutions in Nigeria. A descriptive research design of survey type was employed. One (1) research question was formulated to guide the study. The population of the study comprise all lecturers in the three (3) federal government-owned tertiary institutions in Zamfara state. A total number of 129 respondents were selected to participate in the study using simple random sampling technique. For the purpose of data collection, a self-constructed questionnaire titled “Safe School Environment Questionnaire” was developed on a five-point Likert scale was developed with 19 items. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The study found that, the level of safe school environment practices among tertiary institutions in Zamfara state was at a low extent with statistical score of (M = 2.39, SD = 1.11). Based on findings, it is recommended that, the federal government should increase funding of tertiary institution for the proper implementation of safe school environment policies provided by the federal ministry of education. Furthermore, institutions’ administrators should promote consistent consultations and partnerships with relevant security agencies for the protection of the school environment as well as the wellbeing of the staff members, students, and the entire universities communities.

In this poster we present Portable-Spheree, an interactive spherical rear-projected 3D-content-display that provides perspective-corrected views according to the user's head position, to provide parallax, shading and occlusion depth cues. Portable-Spheree is an evolution of the Spheree and it is developed in a smaller form factor, using more projectors and a dark-translucent screen with increased contrast. We present some preliminary results of this new configuration as well as applications with spatial interaction that might benefit from this new form factor.

Frank vectorcardiograms (VCG) and clinical records of 243 patients with right bundle branch block (RBBB) were compared. The patients were classified into three categories on the basis of VCG criteria. The first category included 100 patients with a normal frontal axis, and the second category included 44 patients with concomitant left anterior hemiblock. The third category consisted of 99 patients with RBBB and myocardial infarction. The VCGs were classified into three types accoriding to the QRS configuration in the transverse plane. In type I the initial forces were anterior and counterclockwise and the afferent limb crossed the midline posterior to E point; in type II the initial forces were anterior and counterclockwise and the afferent limb crossed the midline posterior to E point; in type II the initial forces were anterior and counterclockwise and the afferent limb crossed the midline anterior to or through E point; and in type III the entire transverse loop was clockwise and anterior to E point. The patients were further classified according to the presence or absence of cardic failure or severe pulmonary disease. In patients with RBBB and a normal axis, cardiac failure or severe pulmonary disease was found in five of 49 patients wtih type I, 17 of 31 with type II, and 18 of 20 with type III pattern. In patients with RBBB and left anterior hemiblock, significant disease was found in one of 17 with type I, five of 16 with type II, and eight of 11 with type III pattern. These data show that, in patients with RBBB, the position of the afferent limb in the transverse plane can be used to predict cardiac failure or severe pulmonary disease.
