ABSTRACT

In this theses, we investigate certain key aspects of mathematical modelling to explain the
epidemiology of HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis B, Tumour,diabetes and stroke at the
workplace and assess the potential benefits of proposed control strategies. The compartmental
epidemiological modelling approach was used in the formulation of the models on HIV/AIDS,
tuberculosis (TB), Hepatitis B (HBv), Tumour and Diabetes pandemic. In each of the cases, the dynamics
of the disease was studied according to the various compartments based on the transmission dynamics of
the disease. The resulting model in each of the diseases was a system of nonlinear ordinary differential
equations. The solutions of the various models were obtained using ODE45 module in MATLAB
software built based on Runge-Kutta 4th Order method and the results plotted on graphs. The model on
stroke was formulated using fluid dynamics approach where the geometry of the arteries of the
employee(s) was used in determining the flow patterns of blood most especially in an occluded internal
carotid artery. The resulting model here is a partial differential equation which was solved using the
Galerkindiscretisation scheme implemented by the finite element method in MATLAB and the results
plotted on graphs. In the case of HIV/AIDS, a combination of intervention strategies including
prevention, Education/enlightenment, and HAART treatment was studied showing a great potential to
control HIV transmission in the workplace and indirectly improving the productivity of labour force
population and also the availability of good labour force. In the TB model, the two strategies employed,
optimal education strategy and chemoprophylaxis clearly showed that both controls reduced/minimised
the infected workforce population. In HBV, after introducing therapy, the viral load decreased after 10
days. In addition, the number of free virons at the final time tf= 100 (days) in the case with control is less
than that without control thereby increasing the efficiency of drug therapy in inhibiting viral production.
In tumour disease, the models described how DCs and NK cells of workers, as the innate immune system,
and CD8 + T cells, as the specific immune system, affect the growth of the tumour cell population in the
body of workers. In the diabetes model, without control, the work force population is lower than that with
control. The work force population increased progressively as the controlincreases. As the stenotic height
increased, the diameter of the arteries reduced leading to occlusion thereby lowering the blood flow
velocity with high blood pressure leading to stroke. The equilibrium analysis showed that, the models
were globally and asymptotically stable at both the disease-free and endemic states. The optimal control
measure was established alongside with the various strategies for the controls which showed prodigious
improvement in the workforce population on the application of the controls.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of Study
It is obvious that the welfare of individuals, the growth of enterprises and the development of the
national economies are largely dependent on their comparative productivity. There exist
differences among the various countries of the world based on political ideologies, economic
systems or some such reasons but all unanimously recognize the importance of the improvement
in the productivity levels.
Productivity is a ratio between the output of the wealth produced and the input of resources used
in the process of any economic activity (Rao, 2009). The input creativity can yield greater
amount of output through conversion efficiency and here lies the importance of improvement in
productivity levels. The concept of productivity of course, with some degree of confusion has
remained a continuous and challenging area of study. The changes in the productivity levels
greatly influence a wide range of human, economic and social considerations, such as higher
standard of living, rapid economic growth, improvement in balance of payments, control of
inflation culture of the nation etc. The productivity in a most simple way may be defined as ratio
of output to input. It is expressed as under:
I
P = O where P = Productivity, O = Output, I = Input
According to Oxford Illustrated Dictionary 2nd Edition (2003), productivity is defined as
efficiency in industrial production to be measured by some relationship of outputs to inputs. The
Encyclopedia Britannica (2009) defined productivity according to economics as the ratio of what
is produced to what is required to produce it. Usually, this ratio is in the form of an average
expressing the total output of some category of goods divided by the total input of say, labour
and raw materials. In principle, any input can be used in the denominator of the productivity
ratio. Thus one can speak of productivity of land, labour, capital or sub-categories of any of these
factors of production.
It should be noted that, the concept of productivity is so closely attached to the labour input that
the term productivity is almost used as the synonym of productivity of labour. International
2
Labour Organization (ILO) (2007) defined productivity as, the ratio between the volume of
output as measured by production indices and corresponding volume of labour input as measured
by employment indices. The most important reasons why labour is used as the commonest factor
in measuring productivity are: It is easy and precise to measure the units of labour inputs as
compared to other inputs like materials, capital etc. Productivity can be very easily measured in
terms of output per man, output per man hour or output per unit of labour time, Labour input is
universally applied to all types of plants processes, productions and it has become a common
practice to link wages, with the productivity.
Productivity is a technique of extracting greater output from the inherent input creativity of
various resources through the conversion efficiency. The conversion efficiency which changes
the level of productivity is largely affected by numerous factors. All these factors affect the level
of productivity either individually or jointly. Some important factors are classified as:
Technological; Managerial; Financial; Natural; Sociological, and Government.
The technological advancement always strives to achieve the increase of production with
minimum costs and efforts, which always result into increased productivity for example,
application of mechanized power, automation etc. Progressive and imaginative managerial skills
always tap greater output of the human and nonhuman resources.
Delegation of authority, true recognition of human factor, imaginative judgment results into
increased productivity and contented labour force. The availability of financial resources enables
the organization to spend moneys for the research and development, employment of professional
executives, adaptation of latest technology, provision of amenities, effective stock piling and
material control. All these factors directly affect the level of productivity. The low level of
productivity and poor industrial growth of the underdeveloped countries is due to poor capital
formation constraints on the financial resources and good quality manpower management.
The natural resources like geographical, physical and climatic conditions directly affect the level
of productivity. The effect of these factors is confined to certain type of industries and the
3
possibility of bringing them within control as in humidification in textile industry, quality
thickness and depth of the mineral resources; climate effect on the labour efficiency etc.
The generic characteristics and racial quality has a great impact on the productivity of the labour.
Productivity is also affected by the attitude of the workers towards the work and the approach of
the management towards the workforce and the provision of working conditions.The
Government policy regarding financial incentives, taxation policy, tariff policy, industrial
licensing labour laws etc also affect the productivity.Provision of concessional loans for
modernization, tax incentives for the expenditures on research and development etc help increase
the level of productivity.
There are still many other ways of improving productivity. In construction, productivity is
usually taken to mean labour productivity, that is, units of work placed or produced per manhour.
The inverse of labour productivity, man-hours per unit (unit rate), is also commonly used.
Productivity is the ratio of output to all or some of the resources used to produce that output.
Output can be homogenous or heterogeneous. Resources comprise: labour, capital, energy, raw
materials, etc.
Horner and Talhouni (2008) stated “A popular concept in the USA, and increasingly in the UK,
is the concept of earned hours. It relies on the establishment of a set of standard outputs or
“norms” for each unit operation. Thus, a number of earned hours are associated with each unit of
work completed.” “Productivity may then be seen also as the ratio of earned to actual hours. The
problem with this concept is in establishing reliable “norms”, for setting standards. It also
depends on the method used to measure productivity, and on the extent to which account is taken
of all the factors which affect it.
Few discussions of the potential economic impact of the global AIDS epidemic fail to observe
that HIV/AIDS, unlike most other infectious diseases, strikes working-age adults during what
should be their most productive working years. The mortality component of this loss is clear:
lives lost to AIDS cannot contribute to economic growth. The morbidity component, however,
has rarely been addressed. Although it is generally accepted that the morbidity associated with
4
HIV/AIDS will lead workers to be less productive, and some estimates of AIDS-related increases
in absenteeism have been made (Rosen et al. 2003), the pace and trajectory of the labour
productivity decline is not well described. As a result, both firms and governments are hampered
in their efforts to develop effective strategies for coping with the disease. One reason for the
dearth of empirical studies is that in most settings, neither the health nor the productivity of an
individual worker can be directly observed (Strauss& Thomas 1998).
1.2 Statement of the Study
The identification and evaluation of factors affecting labour productivity have become a critical
issue facing project managers for a long time in order to increase industrial productivity.
Understanding critical factors affecting productivity are both positive and negative and can be
used to prepare a strategy to reduce inefficiencies and to improve the effectiveness of industrial
performance.
Knowledge and understanding of the various factors affecting labour productivity is needed to
determine the focus of the necessary steps in an effort to reduce project cost overrun and project
completion delay, thereby increasing productivity and overall project performance. Based on the
study and survey, factors affecting industrial productivity have been identified and are grouped
into 15 categories according to their characteristics, namely: design factors, execution plan
factors, material factors, equipment factors, labour factors, health and safety factors, supervision
factors, working time factors, project factors, quality factors, financial factors, leadership and
coordination factors, organization factors, owner/consultant factors, and external factors.
There are also factors that specifically affect the small and medium companies/establishments.
The researcher has presented among many others to include: Lack of material, Labour strikes,
delay in arrival of materials, financial difficulties of the owner, unclear instruction to labourer
and high absenteeism of labours, bad weather (e.g. rain, heat, etc.), non-discipline labour and use
of alcohol and drugs, no supervision method, design changes, repairs and repetition of work and
bad resources management, bad supervisors, absenteeism and far away from location of material
storage, and bad leadership.
5
On the other hand there are some top factors that affect large companies which the researcher has
presented among many others to include: unclear instruction to labourer, delay in arrival of
materials, lack of material and financial difficulties of the owner, no definite schedule, low
supervisor’s capability, supervision method, lack of equipment, and high absenteeism of labours,
supervisors absenteeism, frequent damage of equipments, and labour strikes, design changes,
incomplete drawing and inspection delay, poor communication in site and inaccurate design.
We have summarised the factors that affect industrial productivity to include: lack of material,
delay in arrival of materials , unclear instruction to labourer, labour strikes, financial difficulties
of the owner, high absenteeism of labours, no supervision method, supervisors absenteeism, lack
of equipment and design changes, no definite schedule, poor management, unproductive time (
internal delay, extra break, waiting & relaxation ), lack of skill, supervision delay/ lack of
supervision, lack of tools and equipment, poor instructions, poor quality of labour, material
factor, execution plan factor, health & safety factors, labour shortages, working time factor,
accidents, organization factors, improper training, bad weather, use of alcohol and drug.
Considering all these factors, we have also seen that it is still very evident that these factors
affect industrial productivity both negatively and positively. Those factors affecting productivity
positively would have to be adhered to and still given a new lease of life while those affecting
productivity negatively would have to be optimized for an improved industrial productivity.
In the course of looking into the factors, the barriers to productivity were detected and presented
thus: The countries’ economy has become increasingly more dynamic and complex. As a result,
economic measurement and analysis, particularly relating to productivity, have become more
difficult and complicated. The main problem involves properly defining units of measurement,
evaluating qualitative changes and obtaining reliable data for both inputs and outputs. This
process is further complicated by the need to price – deflate this data in order toevaluate changes
in productivity in real terms. Measurement of inputs is problematic. Variations in the rate of
input utilization are at best partially picked up in data series. In particular, the rate of capital
equipment utilization, i.e. the measurement of machine hours, is rarely accomplished. Labour
input, if measured by hours actually worked, is better suited to reflect the changing rate of
6
manpower utilization, but remains an imperfect measure. The increasing prominence of the
service sector within the national economy has generated increased mis-measurement of labour
hours. Information technology may aggravate this measurement error by allowing increased
work flexibility and longer effective workdays that are not properly captured by the official
statistics.
It is therefore evident that to optimize productivity, the aforementioned factors have to be
critically looked into and optimized. It is not out of place that the human factor has a very
important role to play in the areas of apportioning work, monitoring/supervising and also in the
provision of skilled labour. The health of the individuals cannot be undermined in this course.
Going on the present report from World Health Organization (2010), Global Summary of the
AIDS Epidemic – 2010 has shown that; Number of People Living with HIVTotal: 34.0 million
[31.6million–35.2million], Adults: 30.1 million [28.4million–31.5million], Women: 16.8 million
[15.8million–17.6million], Children: 3.4million [3.0million–3.8million], Number of People
Newly Infected, Total: 2.7 million [2.4million–2.9million], Adults: 2.3 million [2.1million–
2.5million], Children: 390 000 [340 000–450 000]. AIDS Deaths Total: 1.8 million [1.6million–
1.9million], Adults: 1.5million [1.4million–1.6million], and Children: 250000 [220 000–290
000].
In a similar scenario, the Sub-Saharan Africa HIV and AIDS Statistics – 2010 has shown the
Number of People Living with HIV Total – 22.9 million [21.6 million – 24.1 million], Children –
3.1 million [2.8 million – 3.5 million]. Number of people newly infected, total – 1.9 million [1.7
million – 2.1 million], Children – 350 000 [300 000 – 410 000], adult prevalence (15-49 years)
[4.7% – 5.2%] and death due to AIDS has a Total of 1.2 million [1.1 million – 1.4 million],
children – 230 000 [200 000 – 260 000]. Over 7 000 new HIV infections a day about 97% are in
low and middle income countries, about 6 000 are in adults aged 15 years and older, of whom:
almost 48% are women, about 42% are young people (15-24).
In 2002, it was estimated that globally, 40 million people were infected with HIV/AIDS and
more than 70% of this disease burden was borne in sub-Saharan Africa where HIV/AIDS is now
the number one overall cause of death (Guinness et al. 2003). Besides the human cost,
7
HIV/AIDS is having profound effects on productive employment and economic development in
Africa, and hence its inability to cope with the pandemic (Bloom et al. 2006). The spread of
HIV/AIDS is being aided by stigma and discrimination which keep the disease underground and
discourage persons from being tested and seeking treatment. The total number of people tested
for HIV globally remains unacceptably low with an estimated 90% of people who are HIVinfected
worldwide unaware of their status (Waxman et al. 2007).
Despite the magnitude of the problem, little rigorous empirical research on the micro level
effects of HIV/AIDS at the firm and industry levels has been published in the literature on
African development. Unpublished case studies from Kenya and Botswana in 1994 found widely
varying impacts, with costs ranging from less than 1% of profits to nearly 9% (Rosen et al.
2004).
While acknowledging the importance of effects of other confounding factors on a firm’s
performance, this study mainly focuses on effects of worker-concerns about HIV/AIDs and how
these concerns affect productivity of firms, and thus their competitiveness in domestic and
foreign markets. Workers’ concern about health risks associated with HIV/AIDS is a real
phenomenon that affects a large proportion of employees in manufacturing sectors in Africa.
Thus, despite the subjective nature of this health variable, there is need to investigate whether it
affects labour productivity and subsequently trade competitiveness of firms.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS)
pandemic is one of the most serious socioeconomic and health problems facing Nigeria. From
the first officially reported case in 1986, the pandemic continues to spread at an alarming rate.
The adult HIV prevalence has increased from 1.8% in 1991 to 4.5% in 1996 and 5.8% in 200l,
with a slight drop to 5.0 % in 2003. The segment of the population affected most is the youths
and people within the productive age bracket most of whom constitutes the Nation’s workforce.
Response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic within the workplace is crucial if progress is to be made in
the prevention, impact mitigation and the provision of care and support for People Living with
HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and People affected by HIV/AIDS (PABA).
8
Increasingly, a multi-sectoral approach is being utilized, with the Federal Ministry of Labour and
Productivity (FML&P) and other major stakeholders such as the employers and workers and the
informal sector having a major role to play. Stigmatization of people living with HIV/AIDS is
rife both within the workplace and the community. Awareness of the existence of HIV/AIDS is
relatively high but the knowledge of employers and the workers about prevention, care and
support is low. Myths and misconceptions on HIV/AIDS are common. Uptake of Voluntary
Confidential Counseling and Testing (VCCT) is low; even when tests are carried out, they are
frequently done without the consent of workers and without any pretest and posttest counseling.
Rights of individual workers are often infringed upon. Though no known cure for HIV/AIDS
presently exists, there has been a tremendous improvement in the options available for care and
treatment of PLWHA. The importance of preventive efforts having been realized, there is need to
provide information, preventive education, quality care and support for the Nigerian worker and
his/her family.
The impact of HIV/AIDS in the workplace includes reduction in labour supply among classes of
workers, increased absenteeism, and increased medical expenditure. The HIV/AIDS pandemic
has challenged our traditional social support system with attendant increase in orphans and
vulnerable children, disruption in economic performance and reduction in productivity of both
the formal and informal sectors. The pandemic is challenging the hitherto inadequate medical
support systems in place forworkers.
This study is intended to derive and analyze a HIV/AIDS, TB, stroke (cardiovascular accident),
diabetes and hepatitis B disease transmission using differential mathematical model with inflow
of infected recruits parameter, contact rate parameter, per-capita contact rate for susceptible
productive/non-productive workers, enlightenment rates and many other parameters as presented
in the Chapter three of this research work and behavioural change parameter as well as optimal
strategies for improved productivity. Using these parameters as control parameters, the study will
determine the possible impact of infected immigrants, contact rate and behavioural change on the
control of HIV/AIDS disease and predict whether the disease will disappear. Furthermore, the
developed model will consider the non linear incidence rates.
9
1.3Aims and Objective of the Study
The main objective of the study is specifically to determine
1. and formulate mathematical models that will optimize industrial productivity in the
presence of HIV/AIDS, Tubercolosis, Stroke (cardiovascular accident), diabetes, tumour
and hepatitis B,
2. the impact of these diseases on industrial productive workforce population,
3. if productive infected employees/employers are less infectious than the non-productive
infected,
4. labour force recruitments strategies in the presence of perverse diseases pandemic,
5. the stability of the disease-free and endemic equilibrium points with the aim of improving
industrial productivity,
6. and establish the optimal strategies for disease control in the workplace.
1.4 Significance of the Study
The importance of this study could be in different realms of life. To researchers, it will be a
useful reference material for any future study onmonitoring the impact of optimal control
strategy for HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis (TB), Cardiovascular accident (stroke), Hepatitis B,
Tumour/Cancer and Diabetes Diseases aimed at improving industrial productivity.The public
health policy maker will be assisted by provision of strategies thatcan be used to determine the
optimal policies for reducing spread of thepandemic.
The employers will gain by achieving and realizing the main goals of their establishment since
the strategies to improve industrial productivity are unveiled to them here. At the same time, the
employees will be well equipped with the knowledge on how to work effectively and
productively in winning the heart(s) of their employers and having job satisfaction in return.
It will help the society in general to have an understanding of how the diseasecan be controlled
through routine screening of infective immigrant followedby immediate treatment and thorough
intensive public awareness campaigns inorder to reduce contact rate and make people change
behaviour.The study will help educationist develop educational seminars, workshopsor training
10
programs to educate people on the impact of optimal controlstrategies in curbing the diseases
under consideration for a healthier living and improved industrial productivity.
1.5 Scope of the Study
The study is limited to modeling of optimal strategies for improved industrial productivity. The
researcher considered just but few diseases namely: HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis (TB), stroke
(cardiovascular accident), diabetes, tumour and hepatitis B. There are many other diseases like
malaria fever, cholera, typhoid fever, that were not considered but more research could be
undertaken to include the diseases. The optimal control analysis was done for each case
alongside with stability and sensitivity analysis for both epidemic and endemic cases.
