▼ RESUMEN: La presencia de topologías multi-salto en comunicaciones inalámbricas de todo tipo es cada vez más apreciable, esperándose además que esta tendencia se mantenga en un futuro cercano. A pesar de que inicialmente fueran concebidos para solventar la falta de infraestructura subyacente en ciertos escenarios concretos, estos despliegues han acaparado el interés de diferentes actores del ámbito de las comunicaciones (incluyendo los operadores), con lo que es razonable pensar que su relevancia irá creciendo paulatinamente. De hecho, existen diversas iniciativas en algunos foros de estandarización que de alguna manera corroboran este hecho. Hay que tener en cuenta, por otro lado, otros factores adicionales (como la eclosión que se ha producido en el campo de las redes de sensores inalámbricos) que seguramente fomentarán el uso de estas topologías. A pesar de la creciente actividad en el ámbito de los despliegues multi-salto, sigue siendo necesario establecer, de manera cuantitativa, cuáles son sus posibles beneficios, tanto para los usuarios finales de los sistemas de comunicación, como para los operadores, especialmente teniendo en cuenta el elevado grado de heterogeneidad que también caracterizará las redes inalámbricas. Por otro lado, en lo que se refiere a los algoritmos y protocolos a ser empleados sobre este tipo de topologías, y a pesar de la intensa labor de investigación que sobre ellos se ha realizado recientemente, queda aún un número relevante de aspectos a analizar. En primer lugar, el mero hecho de que sus requerimientos y retos iniciales hayan variado de manera sustancial puede, y debe, influenciar sus principios básicos. Además, es necesario acometer verificaciones de los mismos sobre plataformas reales y, así mismo, asegurar que las evaluaciones que se realicen con técnicas de simulación utilicen modelos reales que permitan reflejar de manera fidedigna las condiciones que se dan en la realidad. Esta Tesis afronta, en primer lugar, la evaluación cuantitativa de la mejora que es posible alcanzar al utilizar topologías inalámbricas multi-salto para extender despliegues de red más tradicionales. Un primer aspecto que es razonable considerar es la ampliación de la cobertura que se consigue; en este caso se ha realizado un análisis que sigue un doble enfoque, analítico y mediante técnicas de simulación, para determinar es la ganancia que se logra. Se ha partido de dos modelos de red complementarios entre sí, asumiendo en el primero de ellos una falta total de planificación previa, mientras que en el segundo se utiliza un emplazamiento óptimo de los elementos de conexión a la red. Se ha comprobado que, a pesar de sus características claramente antagónicas, los resultados obtenidos con ambos escenarios son similares entre sí. Además, se concluye que, a pesar de que la ampliación de la cobertura que se alcanza es muy relevante, es posible establecer un límite razonable para el número máximo de saltos a emplear, ya que la mejoría adicional al incrementar la longitud de la ruta deja de ser apreciable… Advisors/Committee Members: Muñoz Gutiérrez, Luis (advisor), Universidad de Cantabria (other).

▼ An area coverage control law in cooperation with reinforcement learning techniques is proposed for deploying multiple autonomous agents in a two-dimensional planar area. A scalar field characterizes the risk density in the area to be covered yielding nonuniform distribution of agents while providing optimal coverage. This problem has traditionally been addressed in the literature to date using locational optimization and gradient descent techniques, as well as proportional and proportional-derivative controllers. In most cases, agents' actuator energy required to drive them in optimal configurations in the workspace is not considered. Here the maximum coverage is achieved with minimum actuator energy required by each agent. Similar to existing coverage control techniques, the proposed algorithm takes into consideration time-varying risk density. These density functions represent the probability of an event occurring (e.g., the presence of an intruding target) at a certain location or point in the workspace indicating where the agents should be located. To this end, a coverage control algorithm using reinforcement learning that moves the team of mobile agents so as to provide optimal coverage given the density functions as they evolve over time is being proposed. Area coverage is modeled using Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) governed by agents. Based on [1,2] and [3], the application of Centroidal Voronoi tessellation is extended to a dynamic changing harbour-like environment. The proposed multi-agent area coverage control law in conjunction with reinforcement learning techniques is implemented in a distributed manner whereby the multi-agent team only need to access information from adjacent agents while simultaneously providing dynamic target surveillance for single and multiple targets and feedback control of the environment. This distributed approach describes how automatic flocking behaviour of a team of mobile agents can be achieved by leveraging the geometrical properties of centroidal Voronoi tessellation in area coverage control while enabling multiple targets tracking without the need of consensus between individual agents. Agent deployment using a time-varying density model is being introduced which is a function of the position of some unknown targets in the environment. A nonlinear derivative of the error coverage function is formulated based on the single-integrator agent dynamics. The agent, aware of its local coverage control condition, learns a value function online while leveraging the same from its neighbours. Moreover, a novel computational adaptive optimal control methodology based on work by [4] is proposed that employs the approximate dynamic programming technique online to iteratively solve the algebraic Riccati equation with completely unknown system dynamics as a solution to linear quadratic regulator problem. Furthermore, an online tuning adaptive optimal control algorithm is implemented using an actor-critic neural network recursive least-squares solution framework. The work in…

▼ The media are a very powerful tool in society and should ideally be free of any government control and interference. The Kenyan Constitution upholds press freedom and thus anytime the government interferes with the media, it will be infringing on their constitutional right. Regardless of this constitutional provision, the Kenyan government has sometimes sought to interfere with the media operations. This study seeks to find out how the two leading newspapers in the country reported on the Standard Group raid of 2006. The main objective of this study was to find out how the Daily Nation and the Standard covered the Standard Group raid of 2006.The study also sought to find out the themes that came out in the stories done on the raid and to establish the sources of the stories done on the raid. This study used the qualitative research approach and content analysis as the data collection method. The method of analysis that was used by this study was thematic analysis. The mass communication theory used by this study was the Agenda Setting theory. The population used in this study was all the stories on the Daily Nation and Standard newspapers for the month of March 2006, from 1st March to 31st March. The sample used for the study was a census of all the stories on the Standard Group Raid. The data collected was presented in form of tables and graphs. The study found out that most of the stories on the raid were done by the Standard. It also found that the Daily Nation had no editorial and the Standard had only one editorial. The study found that majority of the stories on the Standard Group raid were news stories. The study concluded that the Standard and Nation newspapers had covered the Standard Group raid adequately but had downplayed the affected parties that are journalists and media owners. The political angle of coverage of the Standard Group raid had taken prominence during the reporting on the raid by the Nation and Standard newspapers. The study recommended that the Nation and Standard should have had more editorials to show their strong standpoint against the raid. Another recommendation was for the two dailies to minimize politicization of the raid when reporting on similar incidents in the future

▼ Mobile phone voice communications using the traditional Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) signal methods depends on the cellular network operator signal coverage. There is a communication problem when mobile phones users want to communicate to each other when they are located in an area where there is no GSM signal coverage. This study objective was to develop and evaluate a prototype that can enable mobile phone calls between users who are located within an area where there is no mobile operator signal coverage. The prototype focuses on using Asterisk server which is an open source framework that can be used for building voice-protocol real-time communications applications, Session Initiation protocol which is a call setup and signaling protocol and a wireless local area network (WLAN). This study results and analysis demonstrated that the prototype can be successfully used to make phone calls between mobile phones without using cellular network GSM or 3G signals with satisfactory voice quality. According to voice quality standards, the prototype provides acceptable sound quality as evidenced by the measured R-Factor of 93.2. The call establishment time was below a second, which is ideal for real time mobile phone calls communication. The prototype also provided the capability of multiple simultaneous calls between mobile phones. However, mobile phone calls conversations were getting poor and eventually being disconnected when either the calling or called wireless network signal becomes weak. For the wireless network to cover a wide area, an extended distributed wireless local area network using multiple high performance access points, signal repeaters, as well as using a hybrid of wireless and cabled infrastructure is recommended for future studies. Also recommended is a server class hardware to host the IP PBX server as well as integrating the prototype with existing PBXs that are connected to PSTN lines to bridge mobile phones VoIP calls with external PSTN or GSM mobile phone users.

▼ Due to the increase in competition and increasing market liberalization, firms in the telecommunications industry are facing a threat to the profit sustainability. As market players’ increase and offerings diversify, the market share reduces causing decrease in profit (Neto, Kenny, Janakiram, & Watt, 2005). Furthermore, customers’ preferences are dangerously volatile and satisfaction of their diverse needs can prove arduous and the heightened customer awareness results in search for better alternative offerings in the market. As a result, customers may voluntarily switch from one vendor to the other. The study adopted a descriptive study design. The population was ISP firms in Kenya from which 10 large ISPs were selected. A total of 50 questionnaires were mailed to the managers of these firms. Primary data was collected through structured questionnaires. Data was analysed using descriptive analysis and regression analysis. The study found that before customer make a decision to purchase or stay with a service provider, they considered service uptime, network coverage, and customer service. The regression results showed that product pricing, customer service, and service uptime had negative but insignificant effects on firm performance while parent shareholding and network coverage had positive effects on firm performance. The study concludes that the factors influencing customer staying in a provider were service uptime, customer service, and network coverage. The study also concludes that product pricing, customer service, parent shareholding,network coverage , and service uptime do not have a significant effect on firm performance. Thus the financial performance of ISPs in Kenya is not influenced by the churn factors. The study recommends that Internet Service Providers in Kenya should ensure that they enhance the level of service uptime as this was a major factor that customers considered before making a decision to purchase an ISP product or to stay with the same ISP. The study also recommends that Internet Service Providers should have large network coverage and not just limit themselves to a small or specific area to cover. Third, the study recommends that Internet Service Providers should invest in a modern and efficient customer care service that can provide solutions to customers who have issues with their internet. This was an important purchase decision factor by customers.

▼ Spurred by declining costs of robotics, automation is becoming a prevalent area of interest for many industries. In some cases, it even makes economic sense to use a team of robots to achieve a goal faster. In this thesis we study sweep coverage path planning, in which a robot or a team of robots must cover all points in a workspace with its footprint. In many coverage applications, including cleaning and monitoring, it is beneficial to use coverage paths with minimal robot turns. In the first part of the thesis, we address this for a single robot by providing an efficient method to compute the minimum altitude of a non-convex polygonal region, which captures the number of parallel line segments, and thus turns, needed to cover the region. Then, given a non-convex polygon, we provide a method to cut the polygon into two pieces that minimizes the sum of their altitudes. Given an initial convex decomposition of a workspace, we apply this method to iteratively re-optimize and delete cuts of the decomposition. Finally, we compute a coverage path of the workspace by placing parallel line segments in each region, and then computing a tour of the segments of minimum cost. We present simulation results on several workspaces with obstacles, which demonstrate improvements in both the number of turns in the final coverage path and runtime. In the second part of the thesis, we extend the concepts developed for a single robot coverage to a multi robot case. We provide a metric χ that approximates the cost of a coverage path, which accounts for the cost of turns. Given a polygon, we provide a method for cutting a polygon into two that would minimize the maximum cost χ between the two polygons. Provided with an initial n-cell decomposition, we apply this method in the iterative manner to re-optimize cuts in order to minimize the maximum cost χ over all cells in the decomposition. For each cell in the re-optimized n-cell decomposition, a single robot coverage path is computed using the minimum altitude decomposition. We present the simulation results that demonstrate improvements in the maximum cost as well as the range of costs over all robots in the team.

▼ Background Donor financing in conjunction with national policies works through the existing health system to impact the uptake of MNCH interventions. However within countries, other key factors such as individual and household behaviors, the political economy, and the macroeconomic environment also influence the uptake of interventions. Demonstrating the relationship between increased financing and increased coverage can provide a platform for policymakers and other stakeholders to refine and appropriately target their health programs. Methods This complex relationship between financing and coverage was analyzed using: 1) A multi-country analysis examining the impact of official development assistance on the change in coverage levels of MNCH interventions; 2) To further contextualize the results of the multi-country analysis, a systematic review was performed to identify the different metrics used in computing coverage change; and 3) Individual-level factors related to utilization of maternal health services was examined among women of varying socioeconomic status in Nigeria. Results The multi-country analysis examining the impact of official development assistance (ODA) on coverage levels of MNCH interventions positive associations. The systematic review found that the method of computing change is important in coverage change estimates; and this can impact findings and future research directions. Furthermore, the trend of coverage rates within a country and the baseline rate is also important. Lastly, predictors of maternal health service utilization among Nigerian women were maternal education and employment. Conclusion This analysis has shown that ODA to maternal and child health can be effective in increasing the coverage rates of MNCH interventions. These results are important and present a preliminary attempt to understand this complex relationship between financing and the uptake of health interventions. In addition, the coverage change metrics utilized are important can have a significant impact on the results of coverage change analyses. Lastly, in our analyses that examined individual level factors associated with maternal health service utilization, maternal education and employment are shown to be important factors associated with utilization regardless of socioeconomic status. Understanding the dynamics between individual level predictors and the uptake of interventions is important to ensure that those in need are appropriately targeted for health interventions.

▼ In the recent years, Kenyans have been scarred repeatedly by a series of attacks by the Al Shabaab terrorist group based in neighbouring Somalia. The devastating attacks have been characterised by profiling and targeting of non-Muslims, a tactic that has polarised Kenyans along religious lines and increased likelihood of conflict. This study sought to find out how the print media covered religious communities, specifically Christians and Muslims, in the Al Shabaab attacks in Mandera (November/December 2014) and Garissa University College (April 2015) in the context of the Code of Conduct for the Practice of journalism by the Media Council of Kenya (2013) and the backdrop of interreligious polarisation occasioned by previous attacks. Both attacks under study were characterised by separation of Muslims and Christians before the latter were killed. The study analysed contents of 133 news articles that made direct references to the two religious communities within four weeks of the attacks. For the Mandera attack, articles were selected between November 23rd to December 23rd 2014 while for the Garissa attack; they were selected between April 2nd to May 2nd 2015. The study also interviewed six journalists and two editors regarding the print media coverage of those attacks to gain deeper insights into the matter. The study established that the coverage of religious communities in the two publications was largely done professionally in line with the Code of Conduct for the practice of journalism in Kenya with the exceptions of a few shortcomings. In addition, the coverage was largely done in a manner that is not polarising. Instead, the majority of articles published emphasised national unity among Kenyans of all religious communities to combat Al Shabaab. The study recommends that the media should exercise extra caution in reporting terrorist attacks to ensure that they do so professionally and accurately without fanning interreligious polarisation and conflicts in the country.

▼ As a public medium and a vehicle of "culture", which frames and comprehends social priorities, relations and identities, news has received scant anthropological attention (Spitulnik 1993). Whanganui Iwi's occupation of Moutoa Gardens in 1995 was made available to a public as"news". My project reveals a range of exclusions around these mediations, which conjure wider issues regarding the production of representations within (post) colonial contexts. As a contribution to anthropology, my ethnography responds to the limitations of traditional ethnographic praxis, providing a productive response to criticisms of the discipline and revealing the public value of ethnographic sensibilities. Whanganui Iwi believed the Gardens to be the historical site of Pakaitore pa. The area was reclaimed as a marae, shelters were built, the perimeter fenced, and Iwi lived on site for 80 days. The initiative constituted an expression of Iwi's experiences of exteriority within Wanganui and their frustration with the delay of the Crown's response to their claims alleging breaches of Treaty of Waitangi. Iwi temporarily inverted their relationship to the Pakeha community by establishing a literal boundary to the marae, which rendered those who were not supportive of Iwi aspirations "outsiders". While access to the marae was controlled, and restrictions were placed on news workers, the only group banned from the marae were the employees of the city's newspaper, the Wanganui Chronicle. My project details the production of news about Pakaitore, and the attempts of Iwi to control their representation; specifying the role of "location" (both spatial and ideological) in the production of written and photographic accounts (Haraway 1991). I examine how the structures of news production are deployed and contested by news workers, and the manner in which news texts may or may not be "inhabited" by their subjects and public. I compare the journalistic practices of Chronicle workers, prior to and following their ban, with those of out of town newsworkers from press and television. The mechanisms, codes, and values of what makes "good" news structure particular locations for news workers, and this largely precluded conveying the intention and experience of nga Iwi at Pakaitore. This extended to the reports gathered by the reporter for TVNZ (the state owned broadcaster), who, as Iwi whānau, was allowed unfettered access to the marae. Being "the news" interfered with agendas inside the marae. From this location, Pakaitore was about building relationships between hapu and strengthening a sense of community. Hui addressed the status of Iwi within Wanganui, and rangatahi and visitors were educated in tribal history and tikanga. These priorities contest the "outside" perspective that Pakaitore was simply an attempt to antagonise Pakeha authorities. Throughout the course of my fieldwork visual aspects of media representations of Pakaitore were cited by a range of my informants as conveying particular authority. In some contexts this was by way… Advisors/Committee Members: Wilson, Peter (advisor).

▼ There is a growing concern in Zambia over what many media personnel regard as news worthy stories and in particular corruption-related stories. Many argue that the media would rather cover a political story than a news beat on corruption which is of great significance to their audience. Hence one is tempted to wonder as to whether the media deliberately ignore such stories or the ownership of a particular media house has a bearing on the type of news they cover. The aim of this study was to evaluate the media coverage on corruption issues in Zambia. The study also did a comparison of two media houses namely, the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation TV1 (ZNBC TV1) and MUVI Television to try and establish whether media ownership has any influence in the way corruption stories are covered in Zambia. A number of both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in this study including in-depth interviews, quantitative interviews and content analysis of corruption-related news and discussion programmes on both MUVI TV and ZNBC TV1 from January to April 2017. The research findings revealed that the media is a key stakeholder in the fight against corruption. However, regardless of their status as agenda setters, the media especially the state owned ZNBC TV1 have failed to match the people’s expectations in the fight against corruption. Being the national broadcaster, the expectations are that ZNBC TV1 should work closely with the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) in following up on corruption cases and to provide feedback to the Zambian community. MUVI TV has been an alternative for many local viewers but it also is limited to only those who are able to buy a decoder and can manage to pay subscription fees to access its content. This means that those who cannot afford to buy the MUVI TV decoder have to rely on the National broadcaster for information and if they do not cover any corruption stories then the society will believe that corruption is not an issue in Zambia. According to the findings from this research, ZNBC TV1 only showed corruption-related news when the victim was not a government official or someone who had fallen out of favour with the government like the former Information and Broadcast Minister, Dr Chishimba Kambwili. The research findings also showed a link between media ownership and corruption reporting. It was clearly revealed that the state owned ZNBC TV did not report on any senior government official found wanting because it was government owned and funded by the government for its operations.

▼ This report is based on an investigation of the adequacy of the financial news and information provided by the Times of Zambia. The study was aimed at assessing the role of the Times of Zambia in helping improve the public’s financial knowledge on various financial topics such as banking, insurance, credit and pension schemes among others. The study was also aimed at evaluating the scope of financial coverage by the Times of Zambia in comparison with other media and also establishing which financial information was most preferred by the general public. The methodology used in the research included: purposive sampling, in that only salaried employees were interviewed and systematic sampling by picking interviewees from every 4th office. The collection of data included the administering of 100 quantitative interviews, 1 focus group discussion of 10 participants, an in-depth interview with the Times of Zambia business news editor and content analysis of the Times of Zambia financial coverage for 2 weeks. Quantitative data was analysed using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) while qualitative data was analysed thematically. The findings of the study revealed that people’s understanding of financial information is limited to saving or having a bank account and other complex forms of saving through pension schemes, insurance policies and other investment opportunities such as the stock market have been ignored. Information on credit, borrowing, performance of the economy and taxation which were equally important components of financial information have also been ignored. Findings also revealed that though the Times of Zambia was interested in providing financial information, the provision of that information was affected by a limited number of journalists positioned in various parts of the country and by limited resources. Data from the study also revealed that most people felt that the Times of Zambia did not provide adequate financial information and that if it did, the editorials were boring and did not catch the attention of most people. The inadequacy of the financial information was gauged against the respondents’ responses to whether they received information on various financial topics or not. The inadequate training of the Times of Zambia financial reporters in reporting financial matters also explained why they could not break down financial information into something easy to understand or interesting for the audience. Some people, however, thought they were far more financially literate such that even when the information was available, they would ignore it because they believed they already knew it. The majority of the people preferred the financial articles in news format and medium in size. Finally, observations and recommendations were made which are meant to help the Times of Zambia improve its financial coverage and would result in people being fully informed about financial matters.

LoRa is being widely adopted by industrial communities for its long range, robustness and low power wireless communication capabilities. In fact LoRa is gaining more popularity even amongst the common people as it is an affordable solution and operates in the unlicensed radio spectrum. However, LoRa provides a widely heterogeneous coverage; it can reach hundreds of meters or up to tens of kilometers, depending on the surrounding environment. Determining the coverage of LoRa stations is key to provide a good quality of service. On one hand, the traditional method of expensive measurement campaigns can be employed to estimate LoRa's coverage; but this is impractical due to the large geographical areas involved. On the other hand, popular channel models can be adopted; but many of them are yet to be explored for LoRa or rely entirely on the user predening the type of environment to estimate coverage. Neither of those approach are suitable for thousands of non-expert citizens and organizations around the world looking forward to understanding the coverage of their LoRa stations. The aim of the thesis is to automatically estimate the coverage of LoRa, before the deployment of the gateway and without relying on on-site measurements or the user's perception of the environment. Moreover, the estimation must be carried out in a simple, low cost and low eort approach. Considering that the surrounding environment determines in a fundamental manner, the coverage of wireless technologies including LoRa, we use readily available remote sensing information coming from satellites to estimate the characteristics of an area. In this manner, we free up the user from providing any type of data. Based on this remote sensing approach, the thesis provides two main contributions: First we analyze a group of parametric models (ITU-R 1812 and Okumura Hata model) and determine that the Okumura Hata model is better suited for LoRa. Second we improve the performance of using the basic Okumura Hata model by proposing an automated approach that explores remotely sensed height models and land cover maps to automatically congure channel model parameters. The performance is evaluated based on a relative comparison due to some unknown transmitter setting parameters and assess which algorithm accurately tracks the changes in the real path loss. A validation using a relative comparison approach on 18000+ samples of real LoRa data shows that the modied algorithm gives an improved performance compared to the novel approach in path loss prediction and the ITU model. The modied algorithm could improve the coverage up to a factor of 5 compared to the novel approach in free space ranges. Moreover, in an urban built-up city the modied algorithm could improve the coverage by up to 1.5 km compared to the novel approach.

▼ In post-environmental news discourse, environmentalism is reduced to a rhetorical motif that is relayed by all sides of the political debate, including the environmental opposition. The phase of post-environmentalism in environmental discourse is indicated by the absorption of environmental messages into mainstream discourse so that they are no longer 'owned' by subversive environmentalists, but by anyone claiming to represent the cause. The result is that a counter-discourse is no longer present in the discussion to challenge dominant assumptions about unlimited economic growth. Using critical discourse analysis, this thesis examines the news coverage of governmental regulations aimed at reducing toxic algae in Lake Winnipeg, Canada. The thesis describes how the science is used in the narratives, and compares patterns of doubting science in the coverage with similar patterns found in news discourse historically. The analysis shows that the pro-lake cause is recruited throughout the coverage to boost legitimacy for the Manitoba hog industry and the City of Winnipeg, who leveraged public campaigns opposing the regulations. Rather than contributing to a public understanding of the tension between environmental and economic paradigms, the simplistic cost-benefit analysis of the regulations in the coverage decontextualises the problem from its complex political-economic origins. Furthermore, rather than presenting environmental science in a way that aids public understanding, science is either credited or discredited to reinforce the industry and governmental positions. The need for transparent communication of environmental problems and their causes is thus hindered by the legitimacy claims-making that dominates the discourse. The repeated and shared voicing of environmental messages in the media further embeds the discourse into a post-environmental phase by excluding a counter-discourse from the discussion – environmentalism becomes talked about by everyone, and yet discussed by no one.

Pregnant women are more vulnerable to malaria than other adults; they are four times more likely to get malaria and twice as likely to die of it. In Ghana, malaria is the leading cause of morbidity accounting for about 40% of outpatients’ attendance. It was estimated that malaria accounts for 22 percent of under-five mortality and 9 percent of maternal deaths (The President’s Malaria Initiative, 2007). At Nkoranza South District, over 7,510 ITNs have been issued out since 2007. But malaria is still the leading cause of ailment in the district accounting for about 47% outpatients’ attendance. The main objective of this study was to assess the coverage and consistent use of ITNs among pregnant women in Nkoranza South District. Coverage of possession and use of ITNs was assessed through descriptive cross sectional survey method of twenty towns and villages at Nkoranza South District. Three hundred and eighty four (384) pregnant women were sampled from the study communities. The data was analysed using SPSS version 16.0 and Stata software. Descriptive statistics was employed in the analysis of field data. Possession of ITN among pregnant women in the district was low (32%) when compared to the Abuja target of 60% but its use was high (73%) among those who possessed ITN. There was no association between possession and use of ITN (p= 0.12, chi = 2.47). More long lasting nets should be imported into the country and must be highly subsidized for all and not only pregnant women and children under 5 because everybody suffers from malaria. More permanent conical nets should be imported for easy hanging even without beds. Education on ITN should be intensified and more emphasis should be laid on the re-treatment of nets since culture of net re-treatment was very low in the district.
