History Education as Deliberate Strategy for Deepening Intergroup Relations in Africa: Towards Arresting Nigeria's Multifaceted Social Development Challenges
Authors: Esidene Erunke
Published: February 2025

The main objective of this study is to examine the increasing socio-political, cultural and
economic problems that have militated against the progress of African continent, and
demonstrate the extent to which the re invigoration of history in school curriculum can
strengthen development practice in the continent. Africa generally has been plagued by several
social problems ranging from insecurity, ethnic-religious conflicts, post-election violence and a
number of other socially motivated crises. Thus, from the western African region to the south,
Central Africa; East and North, the evidence of conflicts has been reported. The conflicts arising
from clash of group interests, and particularly, among contending forces and several belligerent
groups have unarguably, been the bane of economic and political development. To most critics, the
arguments have continued to hinge of the relegation of history subjects in schools-high schools and
tertiary institutions such as universities, polytechnics, among others. The multiplier effects of this is
the huge gap that have been created between the past and contemporary age where a vast majority
of the people are unarguably isolated from the mainstream culture of unity and common African
cultural heritage. Again, with the rising wave of globalization and Information and
Communications Technology (ICT), the orientation of the average African child is more or less
greatly influenced by western culture and exposure. What we now experience in most African
societies (Nigeria inclusive), is a system where people are hardly conscious of the Pan-African spirit of brotherhood which finds expression in collective interest as well as love and care. The
consequence of this development is fast staring the continent in the face, while the sub-region
constantly gravitates with numerous challenges raging from lack of community bonds, conflicts,
violence, terrorism, kidnapping (as in the case of Nigeria); child trafficking, banditry, proliferation of small arms and light weapons; drug peddling, among others. This paper is an exploration of some of the strategies that can be employed in order to mitigate social problems that have continued to fester among groups and sections of the African society using history subject as a point of departure. The study is essentially an archival work, and hence, relies on existing works of experts for its investigation. The method of data collection is therefore secondary in nature. The paper recommends that to effectively contain the challenges confronting the continent, there is the urgent need to reinforce the teaching and learning of historical narratives having to do with African culture and principles, especially among teenage population in African schools. This way, the much sought-after nation-building, peace, stability and viable inter group relations would be realized.

Authors: Aitalieva Nurgul , Harding Lauren
Published: February 2025

This study investigates public attitudes toward “Defund the Police”
proposals amid U.S. protests against racism and police brutality.
Analysis of 2021 General Social Survey data reveals that racial identity
and political ideology significantly shape these attitudes. Black Americans
demonstrate the highest support for defunding, followed by Hispanic Americans
and other racial and ethnic minorities, reflecting diverse historical and cultural
experiences with the government. Political ideology further polarizes opinions,
with liberals more supportive and conservatives more opposed. These findings
highlight the complexities of addressing systemic issues in criminal justice and
the importance of social identities in shaping attitudes toward police reform.

Antecedents of Procrastination-Examining the Role of Academic Identity, and Self-Esteem
Authors: Tsigab Yohannes N
Published: February 2025

Procrastination is a widespread problem among students, yet feasible solutions have remained elusive. Recognizing the detrimental impact of procrastination on students’ potential, this study aims to investigate the underlying factors contributing to this problem. Specifically, this study explores the associations between academic identity, self-esteem, and procrastination in both male and female participants. Previous research suggests a negative relationship between self-esteem and procrastination. There has been substantially less research examining the relationship between academic identity types (i.e., achieved, foreclosed, moratorium, and diffused academic identity) and procrastination. The current study surveyed 244 college students about their personality habits, academic identity, and self-esteem. It was hypothesized that self-esteem would moderate the relationship between achieved academic identity and procrastination. Regression analyses support this hypothesis, indicating that college students who have a well-developed sense of achieved academic identity are less likely to procrastinate in academic settings, especially for students high in self-esteem. Additionally, results suggest students who have not made a commitment to academic goals and values, are more likely to procrastinate. Theoretical implications for studying academic identity and procrastination will be discussed, along with intervention recommendations for college students.

To compensateforthe risk of lowferritin levelsin pregnant females, usually iron and vitamin supplements have been prescribed. The use of these supplements mayincreasethe ferritin level in normal pregnancy and can cause several syndromes including gestational diabetesmellitus.Objective:To determine the association of high serum ferritin level with gestational diabetes mellitusMaterial and methods: This Case-Control study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore for six months. Using Non-probability consecutive sampling 70 pregnant women were divided into cases and controls. Patients with high serum ferritin (149 μg / L) were calculated in both groups and then Odds ratio and Relative Risk were estimated to find an association between high serum ferritin levels and mid-pregnancy GDM.Results:Patients with mid-pregnancy GDMhad statistically significantlyhigher serum ferritin levels. (36.21 ± 59.07 μg/L) compared to controls(12.46 ± 13.87 μg/L) (t(68) = 2.316,p= 0.024)15% GDM cases (n=35) had high serum ferritin level,while in the controls group (n=35) no change in the serum ferritinobserved. Relative Risk estimatesshoweda doubling of the risk of having mid-pregnancy GDM with high serum ferritin concentration [RR=2.167 (95% CI = 1.66 –2.81)]Conclusion:High serum ferritin level is associated with GDM.KeyWords:Ferritin, Gestational Diabetes, Insulin Resistance

Objective: To identify the factors associated with non-compliance to metformin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Method:This was a cross-sectional study, carried out at Jinnah-Allama Iqbal Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology (JAIDE) Lahore from April 2018 to June 2018.In this study newly diagnosed type 2 diabeticpatientswere given metformin for the duration of three months and their compliance was observed over that period. Metformin was given starting with low dose of 500mg once daily and then after two weeks was titrated to optimum dose of 500mg twice daily and maximum dose range of 1500-2000mg per day. Multiplefactors contributedto patient’s fall out including co-morbidities, shifting to alternative medicineand insulin and GIT intolerance.Blood sampling for A1Cestimation was done by A1C analyzer (TD4611A TAI Doc).Researchdata was collected by questionnairesand patients werecalled up for follow-up through telephonic communication.Results: Outof 260 patients, 200continued their trial smoothly on metformin while 23% (n=60) weredroppedout of the study.GIT intolerance contributed to the major reasons of discontinuing the drugaccounting for 35% (n=21) of the patients. Other reasons for non-compliance included change of therapy to insulin (12%)due to uncontrolled raised glucose levelsand alternative medicine (5%)by their own decision, deranged LFTs (10%) and RFTs (7%), refusal to the therapy (7%)and various domestic issues (10%).Conclusion: Though metformin is the first line drug for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) butGIT intolerance to metformin is one of the major reasons that some patients are unableto tolerate the drug at all.Key Words:Metformin, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, Liver function test
ROLE OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS IN THE HUMAN BODY

Published: February 2025

A number of neurotransmitters are released in the body. Acetylcholine plays a role inthe control of sleep and wakefulness, movements, memory andlearning. Dopamine has a role in reward, behavior,and addiction. Hyperactivity of dopaminergic receptors is involved in some type of psychosis. Locus ceruleus and norepinephrine are involved in REM sleep. Serotoninis involved in the control of sleep, intakeoffood,remodelingof bone, reproductive behavior,emotional states, temperature and sensory perception.Substance P is the neurotransmitter in the slow pain pathway. Excessive glutamate receptor activation may give rise to Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Degeneration of GABA secreting neurons results into Huntington’s chorea. Brain histamine takes partinthe regulation of wakefulness,sexual behavior,blood pressure, drinking, pain threshold and anterior pituitary hormones. Nitric-oxide takes part in the control of long term behavior and memory. Opioid neurotransmitters inhibit cerebral neurons involved in the perception of the pain.Conclusion.It is concluded that neurotransmittersare involved in the regulation of many body functionsand their disturbances lead to many diseases.KeyWords.Neurotransmitters, Catecholamines, Serotonin, Dopamine

Vesicouterine fistula is a rare variety of urogenital fistula, representing about 1-4% of all cases,and caesarean section is the most common cause. The clinical presentation is variable and mainly includesa triad of cyclical hematuria (memoria), amenorrhoea,and urinary continence termed as Youssef's syndrome. The mainstay of treatment is surgical excision,and only less than 5% of patients respond to conservative therapy. Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery is also gaining popularity. The case reported here was a young multiparous woman with previous four lower segment caesareansections and had her elective fifth caesareansection and bilateral tubal ligation. The bladder was high up and badly adherent to the previous scar. She developed hematuria in the immediate postoperative period. Retrograde cystography confirmed the diagnosis of small vesicouterine fistula. The Patient responded to conservative management by catheterization for six weeks. Healing of fistula confirmedby repeat cystogram,and the Patient is having normal menstruation with no urinary problem.Key Words:Uterus, Urinary bladder, Fistula

Background:Idiopathic hirsutism is on the rise in the local female population. The objective of this study was to determinethe role of testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone/leutinizing hormone ratio in mild and moderate hirsutism.Material and Methods:Sixty hirsute subjects aging 18-35 years were selected while ten normal healthy females were included as controls. An assessment of excess terminal growth of all subjects was made using the modified Ferriman and Gallwey scoring method. The hirsute subjects were categorized into mild and moderate hirsutism. Serum Testosterone, Follicle stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone levels were assayed by the ELISA technique.Results:Serum testosterone was lower, non-significant, in hirsute subjects in comparison with control subjects. The follicle stimulating hormone/leutinizing hormone ratio was non significantly higher in hirsute subjects as compared to control subjects.Conclusion:The findings suggest that hirsute women are suffering from idiopathic hirsutism.Key Words:Hirsutism,Testosterone,ELISA technique
