Relations between Totems and Humans, the Dagara of Jirapa in the Upper West Region of Ghana, and Indigenous Belief Systems and Lessons for Modern Environmental Conservation
Authors:   Tamale Technical University, Dery Dominic Alimbey
Published: May 2024

This essay investigates how the Dagara totemic relationship with totems may be used to protect biodiversity. The Jirapa municipality, one of the municipalities in Ghana's Upper West Region, is the subject of this essay. The study looked into how the totemic connection could be used to advance biodiversity protection and conservation in the Jirapa municipality and elsewhere. It made use of a phenomenological research. No matter where they are located, people who share a totem or, for that matter, a common ancestor, have similar belief systems and take part in similar cultural rituals, according to the study. One of the most important findings of the study was that people would go to great lengths to protect and never destroy their totems, whether they were plants or animals. Because they considered it to be one of them, the people whose totem it was protected the object. This resulted in the preservation of several plant and animal species. Totems represent family, clan ties, and what people view as appropriate or wrong behavior, according to one conclusion. The participants' conversation led them to the conclusion that totems are spiritual beings that defend their human relationships. In conclusion, there are numerous ways that this link might be used to protect biodiversity. The report makes the suggestion that modern conservation organizations, agencies, and partners use indigenous cultural practices in their conservation programs. In order to increase natural resource conservation, communities where these kinds of traditional or cultural practices are still practiced should be encouraged to maintain and spread these traditions abroad. Keywords: Jirapa, Dagara, totems, symbiotic relationships, and conservation of nature

Published: May 2024

The genus Aloe has a long history of medicinal usage in the world and is believed to treat various ailments. It contains bioactive compounds that work synergistically against various microbes. A comparative study of the two Zambian Aloe species Aloe nuttii Baker and Aloe chabauddii was done with the objectives to determine the antimicrobial activity, the minimum inhibition concentration and the susceptibility of microbes namely Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The study was a quantitative, comparative laboratory study. A Liquid-Liquid extraction method modified from Marjory Cowan, 1999, was used. The extracts were tested on microbes using the Agar Disk Diffusion Method modified from Kirby Bauer, 1966, and assessed by the growth inhibition zones. The two-fold dilution method modified from Doughari, 2007, was used to find the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration. Only the water extracts of Aloe nuttii Baker inhibited the growth of all the five microbes tested as indicated by the growth inhibition zones as follows: S. aureus 12±2mm, S.spp.10.3±0.7mm, P. aeruginosa 9.3±1.7mm, E. coli 10.7±1.3mm and Candida albicans 14±0.6mm. In contrast, Aloe chabaudii extracts displayed no antimicrobial activity. The MIC of Aloe nuttii Baker was found to be 1500mg/ml for Candida albican, P. aeruginosa and E. coli and 3000mg/ml for S. aureus. In contrast, Aloe chabauddi did not inhibit any microbial growth. In vitro, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeriginosa, and Escherichia coli were susceptible to the inner gel of aloe nutty baker but showed no susceptibility to the inner gel of aloe chabaudii schonaland, which is found in Zambia.

Published: May 2024

Numerical modeling of behavior plays an important role in knowing the changes to be made and in optimizing simulation results. Currently, modeling occupies a very necessary place in modern industry for the life study of any problem. This paper deals numerically with the variation and relationship between stress and strain for a model of tensile behavior. In addition, the study is based on the one hand on the number of holes in a plate, and on the other hand by the increase in the tensile load 10, 20 and 30N. The FEM finite element method was used. Additionally, the viscoelastic material was applied. In addition, the parametric mesh has square elements of type (CPS4) bilinear plane stress quadrilaterals, with 4 nodes were used. However, can contribute to a better understanding of the problem of guiding by different numbers of holes concerning viscoelastic behavior for an epoxy material. In addition, this study allows us to know which model is the most resistant during tightening. The results of the final element method (FEM) numerical model were compared, after application of different loadings, to determine the deformation and stress resulting from these loadings, particularly at the holes. On the other hand, the study showed that there is a relationship between viscosity and stress, and a relationship between deformation and stress according to Hooke's law. The variation and the relationship between the stress-strain is then modeled using the finite element calculation code ABAQUS. In addition, the results obtained concerning the numerical simulation were compared and discussed between the different case studies. A good correspondence was obtained between the different comparison results in all the modeling cases of our work.

Formação ecológica em serviço social: uma alternativa sintonizada com as exigências da atualidade
Authors: Alves Doralice Veiga
Published: May 2024

Este artigo defende a cosmovisão ecológica como uma alternativa paradigmática para o século XXI, capaz de influenciar acadêmicos do Serviço Social a adotar posturas integradas, preventivas e transformadoras. Propõe um encontro entre ciência e consciência, vinculando o destino da Terra ao surgimento de um ser humano capaz de integrar razão, coração, intuição e sensação. Exige dos humanos a descoberta de novas formas de pensar, sentir e agir, conectando a vida interior e exterior através de autoconhecimento e práticas coerentes. As políticas educacionais e projetos pedagógicos devem refletir claramente a responsabilidade pela educação humana. No contexto do Serviço Social, que visa formar educadores sociais propositivos e criativos em soluções práticas para fenômenos sociais caóticos, essa responsabilidade deve ser evidente na prática pedagógica. Para criar sociedades humanas sustentáveis, é preciso cuidar da formação acadêmica e introduzir uma visão de mundo que possa mudar a percepção sobre a vida. Isso é alcançado com um currículo atualizado, com conhecimentos relevantes para uma profunda mudança em nossas visões de mundo. Cuidar da Terra, nossa mãe, é primordial. É necessário desconstruir uma visão cartesiana enraizada nas comunidades humanas, consequência do modelo econômico capitalista onde o consumo excessivo e a sensação de separação do homem da natureza nos conduzem ao abismo civilizacional atual. O artigo pretende promover um diálogo, trazendo ao Serviço Social elementos que provocam reflexão sobre os desafios da formação profissional de assistentes sociais na atualidade.

Published: May 2024

India is represented by only 34 species and 5 varieties under 14 genera of Iridaceae. The wild and naturalised species are distributed in 5 phytogeographical regions, viz., Trans-Himalaya, West Himalaya, Eastern Himalaya, North East India and Western Ghats. The wild species are restricted to the Himalayas. The regionwise, taxonwise and altitudewise distribution of Indian Iridaceae is given in this paper.

Introduction:

Patients with a prolonged preoperative symptom duration (PSD) in the setting of cervical disk herniation (DH) may suffer inferior outcomes after surgical intervention. Comparison between anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) versus cervical disk arthroplasty (CDA) in this at-risk population has not yet been conducted.

Methods:

Patients undergoing ACDF or CDA for DH with a PSD > 180 days were selected. Six-week (6W) and final follow-up (FF) patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) as well as magnitude of postoperative improvements (∆PROM) were compared between cohorts using multivariable linear regression. Intercohort achievement rates of minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in each PROM were compared.

Results:

Seventy-seven of 190 patients were in the CDA cohort. 6W Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-Physical Function (PROMIS-PF) was superior in the CDA cohort. The ACDF cohort demonstrated notable improvements in the 6W Neck Disability Index (NDI), visual analog scale-neck pain (VAS-N), visual analog scale-arm pain (VAS-A), and 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). The CDA cohort demonstrated notable improvements in 6W PROMIS-PF, NDI, VAS-N, and VAS-A. FF VAS-A was better in the CDA cohort. The ACDF cohort demonstrated notable improvements in FF PROMIS-PF, NDI, VAS-N, and VAS-A. The CDA cohort demonstrated notable improvements in all FF PROMs. ∆PROM-6W in PROMIS-PF was greater in the CDA cohort.

Conclusion:

Patients with prolonged PSD due to cervical DH demonstrated notable improvements in physical function, disability, pain, and mental health regardless of fusion versus arthroplasty techniques. Accounting for demographic variations, patients undergoing CDA demonstrated a greater magnitude of improvement and superior scores in physical function at the first postoperative follow-up. Rates of clinically tangible improvements in PROMs did not markedly vary by surgical procedure. Patients undergoing CDA may perceive greater early improvements to physical function compared with patients undergoing ACDF for prolonged PSD due to DH.
Prolonged Opioid Use Is Associated With Poor Pain Alleviation After Orthopaedic Surgery

Introduction:

Severe pain after orthopaedic surgery is common and often results in chronic postsurgical pain and chronic opioid use (COU). Poor pain alleviation (PPA) after surgery is a well-described modifiable risk factor of COU. Although PPA's role in inducing COU is recognized in other areas, it is not well defined in orthopaedic surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of PPA on COU in the population who underwent orthopaedic surgery.

Methods:

Medical records from a large academic medical center from 2015 to 2018 were available for analysis. Patients undergoing nononcologic surgical procedures by the orthopaedic surgery service that also required at least 24 hours of hospital stay for pain control were included in the study. Surgery type, body location, basic demographics, preoperative opioid use, comorbidities, medications administered in the hospital, opioid prescription after discharge, and length of stay were recorded. COU was defined as a continued opioid prescription at ≥ 3 months, ≥ 6 months, or ≥ 9 months after surgery. PPA was defined as having a recorded pain score of eight or more, between 4 and 12 hours apart, three times during the hospital stay.

Results:

A total of 7,001 patients were identified. The overall rate of COU was 25.3% at 3 months after surgery. Charlson Comorbidity Index > 0 and PPA were statistically significant predictors of opioid use at all time points. Preoperative opioid naivety was associated with decreased COU. The type and location of surgical procedures were not associated with COU, after controlling for baseline variables.

Conclusion:

Our findings demonstrated an overall high rate of COU. The known risk factors of COU were evident in our study population, particularly the modifiable risk factor of acute postsurgical PPA. Better management of postsurgical pain in orthopaedic patients may lead to a decrease in the rates of COU in this group.

Published: May 2024

Introduction:

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor of infection. Although DM has been associated with worse functional outcomes after acetabular fracture, literature regarding the effect of DM on surgical site infection and other early complications is lacking.

Methods:

A 20-year registry from a level 1 trauma center was queried to identify 134 patients with DM and 345 nondiabetic patients with acetabular fractures.

Results:

The diabetic patient population was older (57.2 versus 43.2; P < 0.001) and had higher average body mass index (33.6 versus 29.5; P < 0.001). Eighty-three patients with DM and 270 nondiabetics were treated surgically (62% versus 78%; P < 0.001). Diabetic patients who were younger (54.6 versus 61.4; P = 0.01) with fewer comorbidities (1.7 versus 2.2; P = 0.04) were more frequently managed surgically. On univariate analysis, patients with DM more commonly developed any early infection (28.4% versus 21%; P = 0.049) but were no more likely to develop surgical site infection, or other postoperative complications. Older patient age, length of stay, baseline pulmonary disease, and concurrent abdominal injury were independent predictors of postoperative infection other than surgical site infection. Diabetics that developed infection had more comorbidities (2.4 versus 1.5; P < 0.001) and higher Injury Severity Score (24.1 versus 15.8; P = 0.003), and were more frequently insulin-dependent (72.7% versus 41%; P = 0.01).

Discussion:

Independent of management strategy, diabetic patients were more likely to develop an infection after acetabular fracture. Insulin dependence was associated with postoperative infection on univariate analysis. Optimal selection of surgical candidates among patients with DM may limit postoperative infections.
