Abstract

In this research we developed an online National Crime Intelligence System, which helps to store and retrieve all information about persons with criminal related record in Nigeria. As a buildup to this work, we visited all relevant organizations that are responsible for monitoring and controlling crime in Nigeria with a view to understanding their modus operandi and to examining the current shortcomings in crime monitoring and control. Legal experts opinions were sought in respect of administration of criminal cases in Nigeria. With the help of the intelligence information gathered, we were able to build a robust database using the oracle database tool as backend. Also, Visual Basic program was used to build the interface, which provides access medium to the database. The developed package is a crime intelligent system consisting of a distributed database, which makes it very easy to access the criminal status of every citizen and resident in a Nigerian law court and in every part of the country. It facilitates the computer storage, retrieval and processing criminal cases in Nigeria law courts. With the help of the developed software, the problem of identifying an ex-convict, the time and where a crime was committed and all other related problems would have been solved.
... Research institutions are gradually embracing research in some traditional medicine found to be effective in disease treatment and management. Traditional healers and medical practitioners need to be enlightened about the hazard in improper dosage administration of trado-medicine, ignoring standard medical record, lack of knowledge to interpret medical imaging as well as lack of awareness in modern practices in medical therapies [2]. Compounding the problems, medical imaging is excluded from medical therapy in the majority of the therapies in Nigeria. ...

The concept of using an imaging system to effectively diagnose and treat patients is well embraced in medical health care delivery systems of most advanced countries of the world. This has brought a lot of efficiency, availability and a high degree of leverage to the systems. But implementing such a system in third world countries especially a state such as Nigeria is still a challenge. The prospect of implementation, however, is enormous. This study aims at providing first-hand information about medical imaging to the health care practitioners. It is also intended to give a brief overview of the state of medical imaging in the health care delivery system with a focus on Nigeria. It additionally gives an insight into its challenges and discusses the benefits and prospects of the computer imaging system in the system. A methodological review of the current state of medical imaging system was examined with particular focus on its relationship to the health care delivery system in Nigeria. The use, benefits, method of generating as well as challenges and the huge potential of medical imaging in the advancement of the health care delivery system in Nigeria were examined. The study exposes the latest trend in medical imaging technologies and the relevancies to the Nigeria health care delivery system. Also, it examines the use of imaging technologies to treat various medical conditions of a patient in pre-medical and post-medical therapy. Also, up-to-date information about medical imaging focusing on Nigeria health care delivery system was discussed. It provides the first-hand informative source for medical practitioners as well as the general public when evaluating the need and importance of medical images to the overall health care delivery system in Nigeria. It reveals the uses, process in generating, capturing, storage and reporting of medical imaging as well as exploring the challenges and benefit of an imaging system in advancing health care delivery system in Nigeria. The study exposes the latest trend in medical imaging technologies and the relevancies to the Nigeria health care delivery system.
