The northern part of Benin is a favourite area for ruminant breeding in view of its pastoral resources and the many other assets it has at its disposal. The objectives of this study were (i) to characterize small ruminants rearing practices in north-western Benin, (ii) to assess factors that affect the described practices (iii) and to inventory the feed resources used in the ruminant breeding. To achieve these objectives, a retrospective survey was carried out in four municipalities located at north-west Benin. The results showed that sheep and goats are mostly raised by men (94.93%). Digestive disorders (90.41%) are the main diseases encountered. The results of linear regression analysis showed that sociocultural group and education level of the respondents have a significant influence on the mode of management and the practice of castration of small ruminants. Feeding was based on fodder from natural rangelands, notably Rottboellia cochinchinensis and Adenodolichos paniculatus. These fodders content respectively, 17.71% and 20.4% of Total Nitrogen Matter (TNM). Breeders used crop residues, notably legume tops, food processing residues and fodder trees during the lean season. In view of this multitude of food resources, possibilities for improving the existing small ruminants breeding system are proposed.

Au Burkina Faso, les dégâts du charançon C. puncticollis constituent la principale contrainte biotique de production de la patate douce. Différentes méthodes de lutte contre ce ravageur sont développées, parmi lesquelles la sélection des variétés résistantes. L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer le comportement de C. puncticollis vis -à- vis de quatre variétés de patate douce. Il s’agit des variétés exotiques (CAROMEX et JEWEL), de la variété locale (BF59) et de la variété améliorée (HEERE). Les paramètres de C. puncticollis évalués sur ces variétés sont : sa préférence, sa fécondité, sa capacité de reproduction et sa durée de développement larvaire. Les résultats montrent que HEERE est la moins préférée, seulement 3% des femelles de C. puncticollis ont choisi cette variété. Le taux de ponte est plus élevé (9,75) sur CAROMEX et plus faible (0,75 oeuf) sur HEERE. Le nombre de progénitures obtenu est faible (63,25) sur HEERE que les trois autres variétés. Toutefois la durée de développement larvaire est plus longue (27,35) sur cette variété. Il est à retenir de cette étude que HEERE est plus résistante à C. puncticollis que les trois autres variétés. Cette variété peut être recommandée auprès des producteurs et dans les programmes de sélections.

In Burkina Faso, damage by the weevil C. puncticollis is the main biotic constraint to sweet potato production. Various control methods are being developed, including the selection of resistant varieties. The objective of this study is to evaluate the behaviour of C. puncticollis towards four sweet potato varieties. These are the exotic varieties (CAROMEX and JEWEL), the local variety (BF59) and the improved variety (HEERE). The parameters of C. puncticollis evaluated on these varieties are : its preference, fecundity, reproductive capacity and larval development time. The results show that HEERE is the least preferred, only 3% of the C. puncticollis females chose this variety. The oviposition rate is higher (9.75) on CAROMEX and lower (0.75 eggs) on HEERE. The number of offspring obtained was lower (63.25) on HEERE than the other three varieties. However, the duration of larval development was longer (27.35) on this variety. It should be noted from this study that HEERE is more resistant to C. puncticollis than the other three varieties. This variety can be recommended to farmer and in breeding programmes.

La pomme de terre est l’un des produits horticoles le plus consommé dans le monde. Elle est attaquée par un nombre important d’insectes nuisibles qui limitent sa production. Au Sénégal, aucune étude récente n’a été menée sur l’entomofaune associée à la pomme de terre. L’objectif de ce travail était d’actualiser l’entomofaune associée à la culture de pomme de terre dans les Niayes. Pour atteindre cet objectif, un suivi annuel de six parcelles a été effectué pendant 4 cycles de culture. Les ravageurs et les prédateurs ont été récoltés et identifiés. Les parasitoïdes étaient recueillis après un suivi des chenilles au laboratoire. L’étude a permis de recenser neuf espèces de ravageurs répartis en six familles. Cinq espèces de prédateurs et huit espèces de parasitoïdes ont été identifiées. Ce résultat est une première étape de mise en place d’une base de données qui peut servir de guide à la prise de décisions pour un meilleur contrôle des populations des nuisibles de la pomme de terre.

The potato is one of the most widely consumed horticultural products in the world. It is attacked by a large number of insect pests that limit its production. In Senegal, no recent study has been conducted on the entomofauna associated with potatoes. The objective of this work was to update the entomofauna associated with potato cultivation in the Niayes. To achieve this objective, an annual monitoring of six plots was carried out during 4 cropping cycles. Pests and predators were collected and identified. Parasitoids were collected after monitoring the caterpillars in the laboratory. The study identified nine species of pests divided into six families. Five predator species and eight parasitoid species were identified. This result is a first step in setting up a database that can be used as a guide to make decisions for a better control of potato pest populations.

Published: August 2022

La problématique des huiles alimentaires consommées au Mali est une question qui préoccupe les autorités. Après la fermeture de l’Usine d’Huilerie Cotonnière du Mali (HUICOMA), une centaine d’opérateurs économiques s’était implantée dans ce créneau. Aujourd’hui, le marché est inondé d’huile de coton de mauvaise qualité. Cette étude a été menée dans le but d'apprécier la qualité de l'huile raffinée produite par douze unités de production d’huile de graines de coton. L’objectif était d’analyser des paramètres physicochimiques de l’huile de coton raffinée produite par les petites unités de production de la zone CMDT au Mali. Apres échantillonnage et analyse des paramètres selon les normes du Codex Alimentarius. Les résultats suivants ont été obtenu : indice de réfraction 100% non-conforme ; densité: 100% conforme ; l’indice de peroxyde : 36,67% conforme ; Indice d’acide : 85% conforme ; teneurs en savon: 100% conforme ; indice d’iode 37,10 à 48,50 g d’I2/100g ; indice de saponification 85% non-conforme ; les matières insaponifiables 100% conforme ; traces de gossypol, 75% non conforme. Ces résultats ont montré que certaines huiles étaient préjudiciables pour la santé des consommateurs. Des investigations, notamment au niveau des chaînes technologiques d’extraction et de conditionnement des huiles dans ces unités seraient nécessaire.

The issue of edible oils consumed in Mali is a matter of concern to the authorities. After the closure of the cotton oil mill in Mali (HUICOMA), a hundred economic operators had established themselves in this niche. Today the market is flooded with poor quality cottonseed oil. This study was conducted in order to assess the quality of the refined oil produced by twelve cottonseed oil production units. The objective was to analyze the physicochemical parameters of refined cottonseed oil produced by small production units. After sampling and analysis of the parameters according to Codex Alimentarius standards, the following results were obtained: refractive index 100% non-compliant; density: 100% compliant; the peroxide index: 36.67% compliant; Acid number: 85% compliant; soap content: 100% compliant; iodine number 37.10 to 48.50 g of I2/100g; saponification index 85% non-compliant; unsaponifiable matter 100% compliant; traces of gossypol, 75% non-compliant. These results showed that certain oils were detrimental to the health of consumers. Investigations, particularly at the level of technological chains for the extraction and packaging of oils in these units would be necessary.

Chenille légionnaire est un ravageur du maïs récemment signalé en Afrique. Sa grande capacité de migration lui permet de coloniser des milieux variés. La lutte chimique, souvent utilisée contre ce ravageur est inefficace et pollue l’environnement. L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer les effets de la technologie Push-pull sur le contrôle naturel de la chenille légionnaire en culture de maïs. L’essai a été effectué dans le bassin arachidier du Sénégal sur deux parcelles de 900 m2. La parcelle Push-pull associe le maïs au Desmodium intertum (Mill) en intercalaire et le Brachiaria cv mulato sur le contour. Des échantillonnages hebdomadaires des ravageurs et des prédateurs sur cinquante pieds de maïs ont été effectués au hasard dans chaque parcelle. Les chenilles collectées ont été suivies au laboratoire jusqu’à l’émergence des parasitoïdes ou des adultes de S. frugiperda. Les paramètres de croissance végétative ont été également notés durant tout le cycle de la culture. La parcelle Push-pull présentait la plus grande biodiversité entomologique. Le ravageur S. frugiperda, malgré sa forte pullulation, a été totalement contrôlé par les ennemis naturels dans la parcelle Push-pull. Les résultats ont montré que la technologie Push-pull augmente le rendement du maïs.

The armyworm is a maize pest recently reported in Africa. Its great migratory capacity allows it to colonise various environments. The chemical control often used against this pest is ineffective and pollutes the environment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Push-pull technology on the natural control of armyworm in maize. The trial was carried out in the groundnut basin of Senegal on two 900 m2 plots. The Push-pull plot combined maize with Desmodium intertum (Mill) as an intercrop and Brachiaria cv mulato on the contour. Weekly sampling of pests and predators on fifty maize plants is carried out at random in each plot. The collected caterpillars were followed in the laboratory until the emergence of parasitoids or adults of S. frugiperda. Vegetative growth parameters were also recorded throughout the crop cycle. The Push-pull plot showed the highest entomological biodiversity. The pest S. frugiperda, despite its high outbreak, was completely controlled by natural enemies in the Push-pull plots. The results showed that the Push-pull technology increases maize yield.

Published: August 2022

Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder involving persistent and impaired levels of hyperactivity, impulsiveness and lack of attention associated with impairment in executive functioning of affected children. Diagnosis of ADHD in the background of sickle cell anaemia (SCA), a haemoglobinopathy associated with neurological complications may result in significant impairment of the child into adulthood, if not detected early. In view of the fact that ADHD can be managed if diagnosed early prompted the undertaking of this study.
Subjects and Methods: Study was conducted at the Paediatric Haematology Clinic of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City. Parents of children with SCA were informed of the study and consent obtained. Demographic characteristics were recorded. Data collection instrument was the Parent Version of the National Institute for Children’s Health Quality (NICHQ) Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Rating Scale (VADRS). Scoring was done for each participant using the scoring instructions for NICHQ VADRS following the DSM-IV criteria.
Results: A total of 103 children with SCA participated in this study. Sixty-two (60.2%) were males while 41 (39.8%) were females. Prevalence of ADHD was 15 (14.6%) with predominantly inattentive sub-type being the commonest. Children with stroke are two times more likely to develop ADHD than those without stroke (Fisher’s exact test = 0.269, 95% CI= 0.589 to 7.558, Odds Ratio=2.55). Age, sex and socioeconomic status did not significantly affect the diagnosis of ADHD.
Conclusion: Prevalence of parentreported ADHD in children with SCA is high, especially in SCA children with stroke than those without stroke.
Soji Cole’s Embers and its implications for critical thinking and development
Authors: Chinedu Buchi , Ile Onyebuchi James
Published: August 2022

Reading literary texts help us develop critical thinking skills, but this fact is taken for granted in literary education by both teachers and students alike and this is the problem projected by the paper. Critical thinking itself trains our minds toward solving a problem and the ability to solve the problems that life presents is the key to success, according to Robert Harris. The objective of this paper is to show that with literary texts, readers and students can be taught to think critically. To demonstrate this, Bobkina and Stefanova’s four-stage model, Situated Practice Stage, The Overt Instruction Stage, The Critical Framing Stage, and Transformed Practice Stage, of using fiction to teach critical thinking were used. It was concluded that the human mind or brain uses the simulation effect as in computers to orientate itself to social realities as reflected in literary texts and that as a result, literary texts are very effective in cultivating critical thinking skills in us.
War dances and cultural identities: a study of the Ogbo dance of Ahaba community in Delta State
Authors: Akas Nicholas Chielotam
Published: August 2022

Ritual Dance is an indispensable performance in the Ahaba community in Delta State because it serves as the connecting link between the world of the living, the dead, and the unborn. Unfortunately, ritual dance has received myopic interpretation as a performance that is totally against the Westernized belief system on morality and idolatry, thereby making some ritualistic dances go into extinction. This debased ideology on ritual dance triggered the aim of this study, to sensitize people that all ritual dances are culturally inspired. The researcher sets to examine the different iconic symbols used in the performance, which made each community where they existed stand out and to interrogate why these ageless ritualistic dances are going into extinction and the possible ways of reviving them. The methodology suitable for this research is descriptive and interpretative design methods, where the researcher will collect data and analysed them accordingly. The theoretical framework for this research is the Cultural Identification theory. Findings exposed how some people dread the selected dance because of its initiation style, form, beliefs cum principles, while some who are members already want to denounce their membership, thereby creating more worrisome impressions on the true image of the dance. In conclusion, ritual dance should not be written off out rightly as being mundane, but empirical studies make it communally appreciated and valued. Historically Ahaba communities are made of warriors who fought for the safety of their community during the warrior. A lot of people were killed during the war by Ahaba warriors. But years later the blood of people they killed during wars started tormenting them and causing a lot of havoc among the warriors, especially when they retired. So Ogho ritual dance was introduced as a purification means to cleanse and separate the living warriors from the spirits of the dead.

Sinema, içinde bulunduğu toplumun kültürünü, gelenek, görenek ve âdetlerini yansıtma noktasında önemli bir araçtır. Özellikle izleyiciler kendilerine yakın buldukları, yaşamlarını yansıttığını düşündükleri filmleri ilgiyle izlemektedirler. Şaşkın Ördek (1983) filmi de toplumumuzu yansıtan ve içinde evliliğe dair pek çok folklorik ögeyi barındıran önemli bir filmdir. Geçiş dönemi aşamalarından biri olan evliliğin ve evlilik aşamaları olarak kabul edilen; evlenme isteğinin belli edilmesi, kız görme, kız isteme, söz kesme, nişan, nikâh gibi aşamalara bu filmde geniş şekilde yer verilmiştir. Evlilik aşamalarının nasıl gerçekleştiği konusu gerek mizahî gerekse eleştirel bir üslupla ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca sünnet töreni ve doğum konusunu içeren kısa sahneleri barındırması bakımından da film geçiş dönemleri için önemli bir kaynaktır. Çalışmamızda evlilik, doğum ve sünnet töreni âdetlerinin uygulanışı, aktarılma biçimleri ve sinemada bu konunun işleniş şekli halk bilimsel açıdan değerlendirmeye çalışılmıştır. Toplum tarafından önemli kabul edilen bu âdetlerin, uygulanışı sırasında yaşanan zorluklar ve bu zorlukların sonuçları, bireyleri nasıl etkilediği üzerinde de durulmuştur.
Morphological characterization of 23 Malus domestica Borkh cultivars from central Spain
Authors: Arnal Alberto-Rafael , Lázaro Almudena , Tardío Javier
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this work was to morphologically characterize an apple tree collection composed of 67 individuals from 41 accessions belonging to 23 old Spanish apple cultivars (Malus domestica Borkh) alongside 9 reference cultivars. The studied germplasm was collected previously in rural areas of central Spain (Sierra Norte de Madrid and Tagus river basin) and it was analyzed through 67 descriptors mainly from IBPGR and UPOV. We found a very high morphological diversity in the studied old apple cultivars, as 48% of the descriptors (most of them devoted to fruit traits) were significantly different between types of cultivars. In addition, the sample cultivars resulted clearly distinct from reference cultivars in multivariate analysis. In general, no particular structure was found in old cultivars, but a strong differentiation of ‘Agridulce’ and ‘Hojancas’ is reported due to their bigger fruits. Our results support the molecular analysis and call for further analysis of the local apple germplasm and long-term conservation actions.

Fiscal Decentralization and Intergovernmental Fiscal Relations in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Critical Literature Survey and Perspectives for Future Research in Cameroon
Authors: Ndamsa D. Thomas  , Mbiydzenyuy Courage Sevidzem  , Tangwa M. Wiykiynyuy
Published: August 2022

Much literature exists on fiscal decentralization and intergovernmental fiscal relations in sub-Saharan Africa, and some of the very salient policy actions that have impacted local government development have emerged from such literature. The developing world, including sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), has markedly promoted fiscal decentralization in the last three decades. However, many important aspects of fiscal decentralization in SSA and Cameroon, in particular, have not been addressed by existing literature. The main objective of this review paper is, therefore, to identify the literature gaps and design an agenda for future research in the areas of fiscal decentralization and intergovernmental fiscal relations that has the potential to impact policy and spur development in Cameroon. A qualitative research methodology (content analysis) is used to gather, group, and offer a critical look at existing literature on the benefits of fiscal decentralization and intergovernmental fiscal relations in sub-Saharan Africa. It uses an integrative review and a standardized approach of abstracting appropriate information from each article and performing an appropriate analysis of the literature survey of a few decentralized countries in SSA as the population focused on in the primary studies. This review paper recommends that areas for further research on FD in Cameroon should include: Types of funding autonomy desired by local government councils in Cameroon; Revenue sharing formulas that are good for Cameroon’s economic development; How central government transfers enhance local revenue mobilization in councils which share the same political affiliation as the ruling party compared to those who do not. Studies that point to new ways of generating supplementary financing at the local level in Cameroon to match the increased responsibilities due to decentralization are still rare. The percentage of shares of central government revenue transfers to local communities is necessary to reduce poverty and inequality, and what agency and criteria should be put in place to control the execution of these transfers? The above recommendations of this review paper will greatly inform theory, policy, and practice on fiscal decentralization realities in SSA as a whole and Cameroon in particular.

Creativity is one of the 21st century skills that students require for the future. The implementation of STEAM education in teaching and learning, whether in content or learning activities, has contributed to the creativity development. The objective of the study is to investigate the students’ creativity profiles by employing STEAM approach and 4Dframe to construct a miniature independence-day memorial gate. This activity was selected because Indonesian Independence Day, organized in August, is very special. Many activities are frequently conducted to celebrate this annual event. One of which is by building a gate in front of the village. This research utilized a qualitative research method with a narrative design. There was twelve 8th-grade students who were recruited as respondents with various abilities grouped into high, medium, and low. The student’s products were evaluated by CPAM (Creative Product Analysis Matrix) instrument. The CPAM assessment score presented 88% in novelty, 72% in resolution, and 88% in elaboration. Overall, their creativity profile is 82%, included in the high category. The conclusion is that student creativity profile through the STEAM approach assisted by 4Dframe is in the high category and can be applied in learning.
A CEBs como Escola de Sinodalidade na América Latina – koinonia e diakonia, uma Igreja que se renova no magistério do Papa Francisco.
Authors: Pinas Romildo Henriques
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo trata o tema da sinodalidade da Igreja e como essa característica estava presente nas Comunidades de Base no contexto latino-americano. Ao olhar para o magistério do Papa Francisco, é possível relacionar aqueles valores presentes nas CEBs com o apelo do nosso papa para uma Igreja, mais participativa, mais fraterna e sinodal. Nas CEBs o valor da participação de todos e o empenho pela justiça e pela fraternidade fez delas um modelo exemplar de vida cristã. Com o impulso do Vaticano II e diante de tão grande desigualdade social, as Comunidades de Base renovaram o modo de ser Igreja e deram grande contribuição para a renovação eclesial proposta pelo concílio. O sentido de Povo de Deus, vivamente realçado na prática dessas comunidades, garantiu a dignidade de cada batizado, favorecendo também a participação de todos, garantindo o ‘juntos’ do caminho eclesial. O Papa Francisco, com seus pronunciamentos e ações, ajuda a renovar no coração da Igreja o valor da sinodalidade, valor que, de certo modo, foi sufocado na história das CEBs.
Teologia e Sinodalidade a partir do Papa Francisco. Uma reflexão teológico-moral sobre o sentido da eclesiologia do Povo de Deus em chave sinodal
Authors: Boccato de Almeida André Luiz , Mureb Carolina
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo pretende analisar o tema da sinodalidade em chave teológica, a partir do pontificado do Papa Francisco. A interpretação terá seu foco dentro da perspectiva moral, mas abrangerá uma retomada da eclesiologia proveniente da concepção da Igreja como Povo de Deus, do Concílio Vaticano II. A sinodalidade apresenta-se hoje como uma dimensão estrutural na vida eclesial. Francisco pensa a Igreja e a sua reforma dentro de uma alargada e abrangente mudança estrutural, já iniciada em uma mudança de mentalidade, cuja superação do clericalismo é fundamental. Esta proposta será desdobrada em três momentos. No primeiro, resgatar-se-á algumas perspectivas históricas da sinodalidade para que se compreender a proposta atual de Francisco. Na segunda, será apresentada propriamente a contribuição do atual pontífice no que tange ao tema da sinodalidade e o seu desdobramento. Enfim, na terceira, destacar-se-á as implicações de uma sinodalidade eclesial na reflexão teológico-moral, principalmente na abrangência à formação e escuta dos novos sujeitos eclesiais.
A Sinodalidade na projeção e na gestão pastoral
Authors: Brighenti Agenor
Published: August 2022

A sinodalidade se remete ao modus vivendi e ao modus operandi da Igreja. Em relação à projeção e à gestão da ação pastoral de modo sinodal, três aspectos principais estão implicados. Primeiro, o sujeito do agir eclesial na sinodalidade, que precisa ser a comunidade eclesial como um todo, dada a corresponsabilidade de todos em tudo decorrente do Batismo, o sacramento que conforma a Igreja como Povo de Deus. Segundo, a projeção da ação pastoral de modo sinodal está condicionada ao discernimento comunitário e a decisão partilhada dos membros da comunidade eclesial no seio da Igreja Local/Diocese, onde se faz presente e acontece a Igreja toda, ainda que não seja toda a Igreja. Terceiro, em uma Igreja sinodal, a gestão da ação projetada também precisa dar-se de modo sinodal, apoiada em estruturas de comunhão e participação, como são as assembleias e conselhos de pastoral, assim como as equipes de coordenação, seja de serviços pastorais, seja de âmbitos eclesiais, segundo o princípio da subsidiariedade.Palavras-chave: Sinodalidade; Povo de Deus; Pastoral; Coordenação; Estruturas.
O brincar e sua função no desenvolvimento cognitivo: Uma resposta ao desafio proposto pela Campanha da Fraternidade 2022
Authors: Borges Alexandre
Published: August 2022

A Campanha da Fraternidade de 2022 aprofunda o estudo sobre a Educação. O tema da campanha é “Fraternidade e Educação” e o Lema é “Fala com sabedoria, ensina com amor” (Pr 31,26). Quer-se neste trabalho realizar uma aproximação da função do brincar na construção de uma personalidade que possa crescer em estatura, idade e sabedoria. Quando falamos de educação de crianças, especialmente a primeira infância, falamos também da força pedagógica que exerce sobre sua formação o brincar, a fantasia e os jogos. Assim, este artigo trata da função do brincar na vida da criança e seu impacto no desenvolvimento cognitivo, da potência do brincar na estruturação da personalidade e na dinâmica própria do processo de maturação da criança por meio do lúdico. O método utilizado foi o bibliográfico, procurando resumir, analisar e discutir informações já publicadas referentes ao assunto. Assim, durante a evolução das ideias apresentadas quer-se construir um conceito que seja referente à importância do brincar como ferramenta essencial para o desenvolvimento do intelecto da criança, bem como de sua vida emocional e social. Quer-se também ressaltar a importância do lúdico nos espaços escolares, a preparação dos docentes, sua relação com as crianças e o impacto da brincadeira e dos jogos na formação da personalidade das crianças fazendo jus à proposta da Campanha da Fraternidade 2022.

A ontologia da alteridade como fundamento de uma Igreja sinodal: Contribuições de Ioannis Zizioulas no quadro do magistério do Papa Francisco
Authors: Koller Felipe Sérgio
Published: August 2022

Tema programático do atual pontificado, a sinodalidade é apresentada por Francisco como dimensão constitutiva e estruturante da comunidade eclesial. O presente artigo apresenta uma síntese do seu magistério a respeito do assunto, oferecendo como possível chave de aprofundamento a teologia de Ioannis Zizioulas, que tem por eixo central a noção de uma ontologia da alteridade tornada possível por uma redescoberta da categoria de pessoa a partir da teologia patrística. Essa chave permite compreender a proposta de uma Igreja sinodal, como apresentada por Francisco, como realização da vocação da comunidade eclesial como existência na comunhão, em que a verdade é acolhida como dom a partir da escuta da voz do Espírito em sua manifestação pluriforme na vida da Igreja, o que exige uma disposição quenótica em receber a própria identidade a partir do outro, para além de toda índole pragmatista e no interior de um horizonte escatológico.

Published: August 2022

Objective: Drug information responses are usually given by pharmacists to physicians. These responses are intended to improve interprofessional care and patient outcomes. This study was conducted to assess if medicine and pharmacy students agree on the quality of drug information responses.   
Methods: All patient or population-specific responses created in 2021 by the pharmacy students during their final year drug information rotation at Thumbay University Hospital, United Arab Emirates were evaluated by three pharmacy students and a medical student of the next cohort. In 2021, a total of 148 patient or population-focused drug information responses were prepared. A content-validated assessment rubric with seven elements was used to assess each drug information response in 2022. SPSS version 26 was used to assess agreement between pharmacy and medicine students using Kappa statistics.   
Results: Quality of drug information was rated high (very much and rather much combined) by pharmacy and medicine students in a range of 61% to 90% for all quality elements. The same ratings of medicine and pharmacy students (agreement) were observed at more than 50% only for three quality elements between two pharmacy students with the medical student. Poor agreement exists between medicine and pharmacy students on their rating of the quality of drug information (Kappa <0.7). Some of these kappa coefficients had a p-value less than 0.05.   
Conclusion: Both medicine and pharmacy students rated drug information reports as of reasonable quality, but their agreements were poor on the quality of drug information. It shows the need for interprofessional education in experiential learning. Agreement on quality of drug information responses improved after the students completed an interprofessional drug information task. The authors recommend a full drug information rotation of medicine and pharmacy students.
La evangelización del pueblo shuar en la Amazonía ecuatoriana
Authors: Ortiz Batallas Cecilia
Published: August 2022

Entre hábitos y escapularios, charreteras y fusiles, transcurrió la radical transformación experimentada por el pueblo shuar durante los siglos XIX y XX. Este es el tema que Cecilia Ortiz aborda en su libro, a partir de diversas fuentes de archivo y, en especial, con las voces de quienes vivieron o fueron parte del proceso. La autora detalla el escenario y los conflictos ocurridos desde 1893 en la sui generis “ciudad de Dios” situada en el Vicariato Apostólico de Méndez y Gualaquiza. Describe cómo el pueblo shuar, en cuanto agente activo, se insertó en una red de relaciones en la que sobresalen la Misión Salesiana y los militares. Enhebra las acciones desplegadas por esta misión para conformar un tipo de familia –la cristiana– que encajara en el gran proyecto nacionalizador del Ecuador de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Cecilia Ortiz ofrece valiosas pistas para descifrar la presencia estatal en el territorio habitado por el pueblo shuar. Plantea que el Estado operó mediante la delegación del poder, tesis que ha sido obviada en la historiografía tradicional. Así, este libro contiene una argumentación fascinante acerca de dicho pueblo y las controversias sobre su integración en el entramado de la nación ecuatoriana.

Although most transactions are now made digitally, some rural regions still use real currency for transactions. Coins are now more frequently used than cash at a variety of locations, including bus and train stations, malls, temples, and water systems that operate on a coin system. Obtaining coins is incredibly tough for regular people. A system is created to offer a solution to the difficulty indicated above. One mechanical device that has phoney note detection and an intelligent note to coin exchanger. In the proposed system, when the user inserts the note, it first uses UV rays to determine whether the note is real or fake. If the note is real, it is then taken inside for further processing and a camera takes a picture of it. By calculating the number of pixels and using image processing, it determines the value of the note, and then equivalent amounts of coins are dispensed in accordance with the value. This system will make it easier for regular people to go about their daily lives.

The Kima area is located in the southeastern part of Aswan city where the Aswan wastewater treatment plant and one of the giant factories in the Middle East for chemical and fertilization. The area is very close to the main active seismic zone in South Egypt, where November 7, 2010 earthquake (M 4.6( occurred. The earthquake was felt strongly and caused minor damage (cracks) to different buildings in the Kima area. This earthquake motivates us to perform the current study for earthquake disaster mitigation in this area. The main target of the study is the evaluation of the local soil conditions based on Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves and Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio seismic techniques. The outputs results include different parameters (Vs30, the resonance frequency, the amplification factor, and the NEHRP site classification). The predominant NEHRP site class is class D occupying the middle part of the Kima area. The resonance frequency ranged from 0.62 to 13.8 Hz over all the investigated areas and has a small range close to the factory site (0.62–0.78 Hz).
