Published: June 2023

Lineal Megalithic Rock Scripts have been found by us: 1) associated to megaliths in Southern Iberia Dolmens at Alcalar Dolmen (Portimao, Portugal), Cumbres Mayores Dolmens (Huelva, Spain) and in a fallen menhir at Zalamea la Real (Huelva, Spain); 2) not associated to megaliths in rocks or stones  sizing from a fist in size to 110 cm or more at Zalamea la Real (Huelva, Spain) and other Malaga coastal sites; 3) in widespread rocks and stones in all main  Canary Islands; and 4) in an Algerian Sahara shelter (Ti-m Missaou, Ahaggar Mountains area). These lineal megalithic rock scripts are sometimes  identical to those of Iberian-Tartessian signary or are admixed with them on rocks. Other authors have also found them in several parts of southern  Europe and also in Canary Islands. Some of the signs are repeated and have for us a funeral and religious meaning on the basis of Mother Goddess  neolithic/paleolithic religion and Basque Iberian correspondence. It is postulated that these scripts may be the origin of Iberian-Tartessian signary and/or  that these widespread stones/rocks were written by people who were learning to write, in contrast to, for example, the defined Iberian scripts  found both at Lanzarote and Fuerteventura (Canary Islands), sometimes admixed with them. In the present paper, we describe Lineal Megalithic Script on rock/stones at a pass (between a chain of volcans or “degollada”) on the way from Tefía to Tetir, close to Fuerteventura capital, Puerto del Rosario. These  Lineal Megalithic Scirpts are postulated to be precursors of lineal writing of Berber, Iberian-Tartessian, Etruscan, Old Italian Languages, Minoan, Latin,  Greek, and others like Runes, Grandeshnitsa and Vinca scripts.
Krobo girls and Dipo puberty rites of passage in the eastern region of Ghana
Authors: Abbey Elizabeth Anorkor , Nasidi Nadir A.
Published: June 2023

Globalization, which seems to have broken all socio-cultural, and economic barriers, and the growing rate of societal awareness has no doubt challenged  many African cultural rites such as female genital mutilation. Despite the fact that Dipo, a Krobo cultural puberty rite, has been criticised by many people,  especially on the basis of its treatment of young girls, the Krobo have managed to sustain it due to its centrality to their culture as the ceremony is  instituted to promote personal hygiene, home management, and morality. This paper, therefore, examines 35 girls between the ages of 12 to 20  comprising 21 initiates and 14 non-initiates from Odumase-Krobo in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The participants were engaged in one-on-one and  focused group discussions. Using both primary and secondary data, which is augmented with a qualitative research methodology, this paper examines  the perception of girls passing through the Dipo puberty rite. The study reveals two main findings; the belief that Dipo is traditionally ungodly and true  Christians must not participate in such activities and the belief that Dipo is a cultural puberty rite of passage that is binding upon the Krobo. It is  established that the observance of the Dipo rite in this modern era has attracted a number of criticisms based on the way and manner the rite is conducted, especially from the Christians in Ghana, which causes serious psychological distress among Krobo girls.
Nollywood Celebrities and the Emergence of Pro-Nigeria Fan Cultures in Cameroon: A Conceptual Discourse
Authors: Endong Floribert Patrick C.
Published: June 2023

Like other world cinemas, Nollywood has since its inception in the 1990s, engendered actor fandom inside and outside Nigeria. Indeed, the trans- nationalisation and explosion of Nollywood have enabled the popularity not only of Nigerian films, but also of Nollywood stars, in countries across the  world. As mentioned in passing by a number of commentators, Nollywood celebrities have rapidly become stars in such places as African Diasporas in  the West, in Caribbean countries and most especially in Africa. In tandem with this, a number of Nigerian actors have, thanks to their popularity, been  recruited to work in giant political and marketing campaigns outside Nigeria. However, although mentioned in a number of cinema studies and blog  articles, the issue of the emergence of Nollywood actors’ fans in countries across Africa remains understudied nay downplayed in research works. The  studies that evoke this phenomenon tend to do so just in passing. In the bid to fill this gap in knowledge, the present article attempts an examination of  pro-Nigeria fan cultures which emerged in Cameroon from early 2000s as a result of the popularity of Nollywood films and Nigerian actors in the country.  Based on secondary sources and critical observations, the paper argues that Nollywood stars have been one of Nigeria’s major image makers in  Cameroon. These stars contribute immensely to the deconstruction of anti-Nigeria stereotypes, as well as to laundering a Nigerian image which has  for decades, appeared seriously battered.
Reflections on ethos and tenets of music in the Assemblies of God Uyo district, Akwa Ibom State
Authors: Udok Ekaette C.
Published: June 2023

Music has always been an indispensable tool in any church setting. In Nigeria, the early missionaries appropriated music in liturgical services in form of hymn singing, chant and anthem as part of worship in the church. With continual apt growth of Christianity in Nigeria, Assemblies of God church evolved from the Pentecostal movement, with emphasis on the activity of the Holy Spirit and on holy living. Hence, contents and styles of music were made to suit the pattern and beliefs of Assemblies of God such as spirit motivated songs, evangelistic songs, mission songs and salvation songs other than the conventional hymns singing and anthems. This paper therefore attempts to highlight the distinctive traits of Assemblies of God, Uyo District, and its reflection on the music ministration. Also, it showcases the basics for music ministers (choristers and music directors) to include: musical background, spiritual life, social and leadership skills as fundamental principles, beliefs and moral conduct patterned by the beliefs of the church for quality service to God and humanity. Qualitative design and typical forms of data drawn from interviews, participant observations and relevant documents were applied in the study for data collection. The significance of this paper is to provide justifiable guidelines to every music minister to attain the required moral and music standard widely accepted and appreciated by God and man. With the findings, it recommends periodical re-orientation towards musical knowledge and spiritual relevance as regard to what Assemblies of God believe for effective music ministration
Pathos in the structure of Laz Ekwueme’s Choral Music: Hombe
Authors: Omotosho Mary Taiwo , Abiodun Femi
Published: June 2023

Studies have covered analysis in Western and African compositions to include a detailed description of the arrangement of every segment of the music. However, less structural analysis has ventured into the pathos of the arrangement of the musical segments. Engaging in the pathos of the structure of Laz Ekwueme’s choral music (Hombe) will bring to limelight how musical structure enhances emotions and psychological feelings. Methodology relies on analysing the musical elements explored in the composition and close score reading of Hombe using structural analysis model. The result shows that Ekwueme employed the Western four-part chorus arrangement as an ornamental device to establishing the diverse African music elements such as repetition of thematic idea in all parts for emphasis, syncopation, varied tempo and shifting accents and tonality thereby enhancing varied moments of emotions, affects and excitement. The paper concludes that the arrangement of different segments of Hombe created moments of extraordinary pathos evoking different emotions and psychological feelings. Musical structure is thus a compositional device with the power to evoke feelings thereby creating a characteristic pattern of a musical style.
Igbo funeral songs: Exploring their major themes
Authors: Okpokwasili Chinazor R. , Nwamara Alvan-Ikoku O.
Published: June 2023

Death, transition and other related terms are used by various human societies to communicate the ending of all formal functions and processes in the life of a living organism. When death occurs, it causes an emotional outburst which people express in forms of chants, recitations and dirges. In most parts of Africa, the death of an adult member of the society goes with the rendition of some songs in honour of the deceased and to contemplate on death as a natural phenomenon during the funeral. The Igbo of South Eastern Nigeria, through funeral, send off the deceased solemnly as she/he was welcomed at birth. The essence of this is captured in Igbo cosmic thought and in many funeral songs. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to identify some strands of meaning which most Igbo funeral songs convey and to also highlight their basic thematic constructs. The paper applied expository and analytical methods of research for data collection. It then observed that Igbo funeral songs have a clear identifiable purpose because in them are expressed different phases of grief and they serve valuable purposes in the various Igbo communities where they are rendered.
Enhancing the enrollment of students into music education in Nigerian tertiary institutions through ethos and pathos
Authors: Ozoaghuta Paschal Chibuike , Ojukwu Ebele Veronica
Published: June 2023

The doctrine of ‘Ethos’ asserts that music affects character and emotion of man by way of morals or ethics. The implication of this is that music has a profound ability to alter the way we think, feel and behave. Many Nigerian songs are full of ethos, a crying baby is often calmed and lured to sleep by her mother’s use of gentle lullabies. What else can do this, if not the melodious supremacy of musical art? Similarly, musicians, through the use of artistic language, systematically employ Pathos in their musical compositions as evidenced in most of their dirges. This study X-ray various kinds of parodies the Nigerian society has formed about the music study which directly or indirectly have contributed to poor enrollment of students in the music programme of both Colleges of education and Universities in Nigeria, and through the application of Ethos and Pathos, some of these misconceptions were debunked. The study employs a survey research design. The population for the study comprises one hundred (100) respondents. Sample comprises fifty (50) respondents. Data is gathered through the use of questionnaire. The study reveals that the choice of anyone to study music does not necessary mean that he or she is lazy. The researchers recommend that people should stop believing fallacies about music education and see it as a viable and gainful enterprise.
The ethos and pathos of traditional music: The Annang experience
Authors: Udoh Isaac E.
Published: June 2023

The traditional music of the Annang of Nigeria is a product of the people’s cultural beliefs, codes, and mores. It represents a model of the philosophy of the Annang communities encapsulating their social and cultural inclinations. This musico-cultural ethos, when identified as pre-colonial (as it has always been), presupposes that cultural changes and modernity have impacted and disrupted these pristine or near-pristine ways of life. What then is left of traditional music? How do they survive amidst dominating genres of foreign descent? This paper examines how cultural changes have disadvantaged the traditional music of the Annang people. The study employs an analytical approach to textual music with other extant literary materials. The paper argues that traditional music will soon become extinct unless the interest in musical revival and sustainability engages identity conventions. It concludes that a conscious attempt at pathos (compassion and sympathy) should be made using modern modes of musical creativity, such as composition, songwriting and modern technology devices.
Cultural and musical values of Àdàmò traditional music in Ìjèsàland
Authors: Ekunwale Ayoade Jacob , Ibidun Reuben Olayemi , Omoniyi Bolaji Omotayo
Published: June 2023

Àdàmò traditional music practice in Ìjèsàland has been part of the culture from the inception, as history says that Ìjèsà people brought the art with them to Ìjèsàland from Ile Ife. Owing to this assertion, it is then obvious that Àdàmò traditional music is a traditional heritage of Ìjèsà people both home and abroad. This paper seeks to view the cultural and musical value of Àdàmò traditional music in Ìjèsàland, how important is this genre of music to the Ìjèsà sons and daughters within Ìjèsàland. To achieve these, information for this write-up was gathered through in-depth interviews with seven (7) of its exponents and four (4) community dwellers across the land. In addition, discography, books, journals, and internet constitute the secondary source for this write-up. It was found out that in spite of the over bearing influence of modern musical practices and several musical genres in Ìjèsàland, Àdàmò traditional music has its place in the day to day activities of Ìjèsà people, especially the role it plays during the major traditional festival of Ìjèsàland called Ìwúde Oba, that the festival will not be concluded until Àdàmò traditional music is performed. This study therefore concludes that, this genre should be explored by the musicologists and attention should be given by all and sundry in Ìjèsàland for better placement, relevance and developments among the contemporaries in Nigeria music scene.
Effect of different concentrations of biodegrader (Bacillus subtilis) on the survival of fingerlings in crude oil polluted environment
Authors: Ekpo M. A. , Ettah W.
Published: June 2023

The role of various concentrations of hydrocarbon degraders (Bacillus subtilis) in the survivability of Clarias gariepinus reared in hydrocarbon polluted aquaria was investigated under laboratory conditions using standard microbiological and analytical protocols. Six aquaria containing ten fingerlings each were contaminated with 100ml of crude oil and different amount (5ml, 10ml, 15ml and 20ml) of hydrocarbon degraders (Bacillus subtilis) in broth culture were introduced into each of the aquarium. The set-up which was adequately aerated was monitored for 21 days for survivability of the fingerslings. The results revealed changes in swimming performance and feeding pattern of the fingerlings after crude oil contamination. Reduction in swimming was observed in those fingerlings with less hydrocarbon biodegraders. Similarly, the feeding habit of those fingerlings with less hydrocarbon degraders decreased significantly. The aquarium with no biodegrader recorded 3,2 and 3 deaths on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd week respectively while the aquarium with the highest biodegraders recorded 2, 2 and 0 death on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd week respectively. The rate of death of the fingerlings revealed that increase in hydrocarbon biodegraders in the aquarium increased the survival of the fingerlings in the aquarium. Specifically, it was observed that aquarium with the highest biodegrader (20ml) recorded the lowest mortality of 40% at the end of 21 days. No mortality was recorded in aquarium with no crude oil contamination. This study revealed that in the aquarium with highest hydrocarbon degraders, the effect of crude oil was quickly neutralised thus eliminating the mortality of the exposed fingerlings on the third week of the experiment.
Antimicrobial activities of Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Curcuma longa (turmeric) on some reference bacterial strains
Authors: Igoche K. O. , Adegoke A. A. , Ofon U. A. , Inyang C. U.
Published: June 2023

The antimicrobial activities of Zingiber officinale (Ginger) and Curcuma longa (turmeric) were studied on selected pathogens using standard microbiological techniques. Reference strains: Enterococcus durans ATCC 11576, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 19433, Enterococcus faecium ATCC 35667, Enterococcus gallinarium ATCC 49573, Enterococcus hirae ATCC 49135, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Aeromonas hydrophila ATCC 7966, Acinetobacter baumanni ATCC 19606, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ATCC 13637 and Escherichia coli WG5 were obtained from GI-Microbiology/Biotechnology Agriculture Research Council, Irene and Durban University of Technology, South Africa. Crude ethanolic extracts and partitioned fractions; dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, n-hexane and 1-butanol were also investigated. Antimicrobial activities of the ethanolic extracts of Z. officinale and C. longa showed zones of inhibition that ranged from 9 mm to 13 mm and 10 mm to 18 mm respectively against the test isolates. Z. officinale ethanolic extract showed no activities against Enterococcus gallinarium ATCC 49573 and Enterococcus hirae ATCC 49135 while C. longa ethanolic extract showed activities against all the test isolates. Various fractions showed inconsistent antimicrobial activities. The largest zone of inhibition was obtained from n-hexane (ZI= 22 mm) fraction of C. longa while Z. officinale crude extract showed zone of inhibition (ZI= 13) against all the tested isolates. Partitioned extracts showed 8-22 mm zone of inhibition with turmeric having the largest zone of inhibition. Activities in these extracts can be attributed to repertoire of phytochemical constituents, especially the Alkaloids and Flavonoids detected in them. These activities can be utilized for preservation purposes of food since both turmeric and ginger are edible natural spices.
Casson fluid flow with heat generation and radiation effect through a porous medium of an exponentially shrinking sheet
Authors: Ekang I.F. , Joshua E.E. , Senge I.O.
Published: June 2023

In the paper, the effects of radiation on two dimensional non-Newtonian Casson fluid flows over an exponentially shrinking sheet through a porous medium with heat generation and viscous dissipation are investigated. The governing high nonlinear partial differential equations, with the aid of similarity transformation are converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically using a shooting method with fourth order Runge-Kutta scheme. The effects of the controlling parameters on velocity and temperature profiles are illustrated graphically using MATLAB software. The result shows that the skin-friction coefficient and Nusselt number reduces with increase in the values of the radiation and suction parameter. Also, increase in the Casson and suction parameters leads to increase in the velocity distribution of the fluid and decrease in the temperature distribution of the fluid.

The Dutch guaranteed Benefit Health Basket – an example for reformers

In the process of searching for nearly half a century of new possibly effective forms of satisfying the health needs of societies, which have been undertaken with limited success in all countries of the world, an exceptional position should be attributed to the experience in the Netherlands. There are many reasons: not only the success of the changes carried out, not only the concept of a guaranteed health benefits basket confirmed by practice, not only the rarely used mechanism of competition between payers, but above all the consistency in the long-term preparation of a comprehensive change in the health system. At the same time, the constant dialogue with the society was not neglected, which allowed it to treat the introduced changes as its own.
Freirean Utopian Didactic: A Retrospective View of Education in the South African Education Environment
Authors: Pietersen Doniwen , Plaatjies Bernadictus
Published: June 2023

This study investigates how the utopian didactic in education can be achieved in South Africa. It is foregrounded by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire’s collective and forward-looking dreams about what education, in the shattered sense of the “now”, can look like if teachers and students participate democratically in the learning process. Education, in a general sense, is a form of learning in which knowledge, skills and habits are transferred and nurtured from one generation to the next. But, in the Freirean utopian didactic, education involves so much more than the mere transfer of knowledge. It is about transformation, both internal (the individual) and external (society). By allowing students to critically reflect and engage in honest dialogue with their teacher, education can lead to social injustices being challenged and, hence, being overcome. Freire’s utopian vision of education is one in which hope and imagination are celebrated in the quest for a better world. This vision is sorely lacking in South African educational environment today, which is still bruised by decades of inequality. Using a literature review, this conceptual article explored whether a Freirean utopian didactic can be applied to the current education system in South Africa and bring about the much-needed transformation. We have examined whether a utopian education can be considered a basic right in South Africa, according to the Constitution, and whether it can be applied more broadly to the African continent. For education to meet the needs of all learners in the education system, a utopian education system based on quality educational skills, values and equal distribution of resources is highly recommended.

Touching Wounds and Surfacing Wounds
Authors: Panggabean Nina
Published: June 2023

Sebagai salah satu bentuk peristiwa traumatis, kekerasan seksual masa kecil menghilangkan kesadaran penyintas sehingga beberapa penyintas tidak bersedia untuk mencari, memberi perhatian, dan mengikuti proses pemulihan. Namun, kesadaran penyintas kekerasan seksual itu bisa didapatkan kembali. Pertanyaan yang ingin dijawab dalam artikel ini adalah pendekatan apa, secara psikologis dan teologis, yang dapat digunakan gereja, sebagai pendamping bagi mereka, untuk menemukan kembali kesadaran penyintas? Artikel ini akan menjawab pertanyaan tersebut melalui sudut pandang psikologi Judith Herman mengenai kekerasan seksual masa kecil, sudut pandang teologi Shelly Rambo mengenai “luka” pasca peristiwa traumatis. Pada bagian akhir, saya memperkenalkan sebuah pendekatan berbasis teopoetika kesaksian sebagai basis bagi gereja untuk melakukan pendekatan pada penyintas kekerasan seksual masa kecil, yaitu menghampiri penyintas kekerasan seksual masa kecil, membuka diri untuk melihat berbagai luka yang muncul, merespons berbagai kesaksian penyintas yang mengandung luka peristiwa traumatis, serta membuka pembicaraan lebih lanjut mengenai realitas penyintas melalui pelayanan firman. Pendekatan ini membuka kemungkinan bagi penyintas untuk menjalani proses pemulihan.

Published: June 2023

Maggot therapy is a technique that involves the use of live maggots to treat chronic wounds. Krimi utpatti kara chikitsa means the creation of a swarm of flies over a wound to debride the unhealthy granulation tissue for healthy wound healing. This has to mention in the Indian surgical treatise Susruta Samhita in the management of kaphaja arbuda chikitsa. We summarize the history and technique of maggot therapy, as well as its uses for different indications and contraindications. The use of maggots for wound debridement, antibacterial activity, and promotion of wound healing are discussed, along with the mechanism of action and potential side effects. Finally, the potential of Maggot therapy to become a mainstream treatment option for chronic wounds is being discussed. Overall, this review highlights the promising benefits and the growing interest in maggot therapy as a viable alternative or adjunct to traditional wound care management.

Published: June 2023

The sudden changes in weather and unpredictable rain have an impact on human life. The objective of this research is to analyze the effectiveness and sensitivity of a rain alarm prototype and its relationship with STEAM. This study employs the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development or Production, Implementation or Delivery, and Evaluations). Then, the benefits will be applied in student learning by teachers through global warming education with an environmental awareness theme. From this research, the following findings were discovered: 1) The rain alarm prototype has a high effectiveness, where each component used was successfully processed and utilized; 2) the sensitivity level revealed that the water, temperature, and humidity sensors have high sensitivity; 3) the relationship between the prototype and STEAM lies in the science aspect, as measured parameters were approached scientifically, the technology aspect through the utilization of the ThingSpeak application, engineering aspect through the collaboration of three different sensors (water, temperature, humidity), and analyzing their contributions in the field of classroom learning. In terms of art, the sensor components are neatly packaged and a housing is also created as an example of installation. Mathematics is found in the coding within the Arduino application. However, a limitation of the research is the inability to utilize an automatic roof system, which means that it cannot automatically lift snacks/clothes during rainfall. Therefore, future research can further develop this prototype by incorporating an automatic roof system.

Large amounts of chemicals with useful properties can be found in by-products of the processing of grapes. Consumer interest in functional foods has increased recently, with dairy products dominating this market. Constituents from grape-based by-products that are naturally occurring in grapes have the potential to enhance the functional qualities of dairy products and lessen environmental damage. As a result, the goal of this research is to provide crucial information on the use of grape skin powder as a helpful ingredient in the manufacture of cheese. In this study, grape skin powder (GSP) was added to cheese to increase its bioactive compounds content and antioxidant activity. Total phenolic content (TPC) was significantly greater in the enriched cheese (5.483±0.443 mg C3G/100 g DW). Adding 2% grape skin powder to the cheese formulation gave an increase of 0.295 mg CE/g DW of TFC and 2.046 mg GAE/g DW of TPC. The GSP-supplemented cheese also showed greater antioxidant activity than the control. This study demonstrates that grape by-products can effectively transfer beneficial compounds to cheese.
