Contradições e dilemas do turismo de voluntariado: a experiência na comunidade do Lago do Acajatuba, na Amazônia Brasileira
Authors: Lenci Flávia Silveira , Rabinovici Andrea
Published: August 2022

Entre as modalidades turísticas consideradas responsáveis e sustentáveis há a denominada de turismo de voluntariado ou volunturismo. Esta visa apoiar comunidades locais a partir da ação voluntária organizada por instituições com ou sem fins lucrativos. As experiências com esta modalidade de turismo no Brasil são recentes e por isso observam-se desafios na execução das atividades tendo como base a compreensão dos objetivos finalísticos da atividade, assim como do papel das organizações e dos/as turista(s) e impactos por eles/as causados nas visitas, os quais não têm sido mensurados. Este artigo utiliza parte dos resultados de uma pesquisa de mestrado, a partir da experiência junto à comunidade do Lago do Acajatuba - AM, pertencente à Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Rio Negro, onde ocorrem atividades de turismo de base comunitária promovidos por uma agência de turismo. A pesquisa objetivou verificar as percepções dos sujeitos participantes das atividades, sejam eles/as voluntários/as, sejam comunitários/as ou membros das organizações que promovem as atividades. A metodologia utilizada foi: 1) pesquisa bibliográfica e documental; 2) mapeamento de instituições atuantes com turismo de voluntariado por meio de pesquisa na internet e método bola de neve; 3) observação direta, com a presença da pesquisadora in loco durante uma atividade de turismo de voluntariado realizada pela agência; 4) realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com comunitários/as; 5) aplicação de questionários aos/às turistas voluntários/as visando compreender suas percepções sobre as atividades realizadas; 6) Seleção das ideias-chave contidas nos dados coletados, sua tabulação e análise. Na visita in loco foi possível observar que se trata de uma ação mais focada no turismo com atividades pontuais de voluntariado, o que pode revelar um certo distanciamento quanto à proposta inicial, dificuldades na compreensão do papel do voluntariado e das expectativas dos/as envolvidos/as, além de avaliação incipiente sobre este fazer, o que evidencia a importância de olhares atentos a estes processos que vêm ocorrendo na Amazônia Brasileira e que tem potencial transformador sob diversos aspectos e que, por estes motivos, precisam ser analisados e aprimorados.

O estudo promove a discussão da Educação Ambiental (EA) de modo permanente transitando por meio interdisciplinar no ensino fundamental. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, exploratória e descritiva referente aos documentos oficiais norteadores da EA no Brasil. Apesar dos propósitos da EA inserida nos documentos oficiais nacionais, não aparece de forma explícita, destacando sua relevância, pois, a expectativa com a reformulação dos currículos pela BNCC era de que a EA pudesse ser desenvolvida com um caráter de continuidade, de modo transversal e interdisciplinar. Contudo, a EA não aparece como um componente curricular, eixo ou objeto de conhecimento, fato este, que demonstra um aparente reducionismo dos conteúdos na BNCC.

Published: August 2022

A presente pesquisa centrou-se no diagnóstico de necessidades para inserção de abordagem de Educação sobre Mudanças Climáticas para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável (EMCDS), recomendada pela UNESCO. A abordagem EMCDS exige que o ensino e aprendizagem sejam orientados para a resolução de problemas locais fortificando as acções de mitigação e a capacidade de adaptação das comunidades partindo do conhecimento local. O diagnóstico foi realizado para o ensino de Geografia no 2º Ciclo do Ensino Secundário Geral, no Conselho Autárquico da Vila de Boane, em Moçambique. Os dados foram obtidos a partir da análise documental, entrevistas e observações. Constatou-se que no currículo de Geografia existem condições de inserção dessa abordagem. No entanto, os professores têm limitação para a sua efectivação e, consequentemente, os alunos revelaram fragilidades na percepção sobre o assunto. Assim, apresenta-se uma proposta metodológica inovadora e orientadora para a integração da EMCDS.

Published: August 2022

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain major causes of global mortality in the world. Genetic approaches have succeeded in discovery of the molecular basis of an increasing number of cardiac diseases. Genome editing strategies are one of the most effective methods for assisting therapeutic approaches. Potential therapeutic methods of correcting disease-causing mutations or of knocking out specific genes as approaches for the prevention of CVDs have gained substantial attention using genome editing techniques. Recently, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) system has become the most widely used genome-editing technology in molecular biology due to its benefits such as simple design, high efficiency, good repeatability, short-cycle, and costeffectiveness. In the present review, we discuss on the possibilities of applying the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tool in the CVDs.

Introduction: Transradial coronary angiography (TRA) is associated with a lower incidence of bleeding rate and access site complications and is associated with better outcomes compared to transfemoral angiography. However, radial artery spasm (RAS) is an important limitation of TRA procedures. Little is known regarding the relationship of serum vasodilator and inflammatory markers with RAS. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the association between serum adropin level and RAS in patients undergoing TRA. Methods: From February 2020 to January 2021, 39 consecutive patients who underwent elective daiagnostic TRA and experienced RAS during the procedure, and 42 age and sex matched controls who did not experience RAS were prospectively included into the study. The groups were compared regarding serum adropin levels and inflammatory markers. Results: Although adropin levels were found to be lower in the RAS group, this difference was not statistically significant between the the patients with RAS and controls (14.9 vs. 16.1, P=0.105). However, inflammatory parameters monocyte count and MHR (monocyte/HDL cholesterol ratio) were found to be statistically significantly higher in the RAS group compared to controls (P=0.001 and P=0.010, respectively). Moreover, a significant positive correlation was found between the monocyte count and RAS (r:0.360, P<0.001), and between MHR and RAS (r:0.288, P=0.009). Furthermore, multivariate analysis demonstrated that monocyte count (OR:1.671, 95%CI:1.312-2.094, P=0.001) and MHR (OR:1.116, 95%CI:1.054-1.448, P=0.022) were found to be independent predictors of RAS. Conclusion: Serum vasodilator and inflammatory markers may be useful in the prediction of RAS in patients undergoing TRA procedures.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Autonomic changes play an essential role in the genesis of neurally mediated syncope (NMS). The aim of this study was to compare the changes of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) by measuring spectral indices of beat-to-beat systolic blood pressure and heart rate variability (SBPV and HRV) in ranges of low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and the LF/HF ratio during head-up tilt test (HUTT) in patients with and without a syncope response. Methods: In this case-control study of 46 patients with a suspected history of unexplained syncope, data were recorded separately during the typical three phases of HUTT. Patients who developed syncope were designated as the case group and the rest as the control group. Results: Thirty one patients experienced syncope during HUTT. Resting HRV and SBPV indices were significantly lower in cases than controls. After tilting in the syncope group, both HF and LF powers of SBPV showed a significant and gradual decrease. LF/HF in HRV increased in both groups similarly during the test but in SBPV, mainly driven by oscilations in its LF power, it increased significantly more during the first two phases of the test in syncope patients only to paradoxically decrease during active tilt (P< 0.001). Conclusion: Our findings show an abnormal autonomic function in patients with syncope, both at rest and tilting. Fluctuations of spectral indices of beat-to-beat SBPV, a potential noval index of pure sympathetic activity, show an exaggerated response during tilt and its withdrawal before syncope.

Introduction: Slow flow/no reflow (SF/NR) phenomenon during emergency percutaneous revascularization is a feared complication associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes. CHA2 DS2 -VASc score has been proposed for the risk stratification but a very limited evidences are available regarding the accuracy of this system. Therefore, we conducted this study to assess the predictive value of CHA2 DS2 -VASc score for predicting SF/NR phenomenon during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study included 596 consecutive patients undergoing PCI for STEMI at a tertiary care cardiac center of Karachi, Pakistan. Baseline -VASc sore was calculated and development of SF/NR phenomenon during primary PCI was recorded. Predictive value of the score was assessed through area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and sensitivity and specificity were computed. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the predictive strength of the score. Results: A total of 596 patients were included, mean age was 56.28±11.44 years, and 75.7%(451) were male. The slow/no reflow phenomenon during the procedure was observed in 36.6%(218) of the patients. CHA2 DS2 -VASc≥2 was observed in 50.2%(299) of the patients. The CHA2 DS2 -VASc score was significantly higher in SF/NR patients, 2.06±1.25 vs. 1.37±1.33; P<0.001. The AUC of CHA2 DS2 -VASc score was 0.652 [0.607-0.696], CHA2 DS2 -VASc≥2 had sensitivity and specificity of 65.6% [58.9% to 71.9%] and 58.3% [53.6% to 63.7%] respectively for predicting SF/NR. CHA2 DS2 -VASc≥2 was insignificant on multivariate with odds ratio of 1.48 [0.72 -3.04]; P=0.283. Conclusion: CHA2 DS2 -VASc risk stratification system has moderate discriminating power for the stratification of SF/NR phenomenon during primary PCI.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Ramadan can alter the course of diseases by changing nutrition patterns, sleep habits, and medication-taking schedules. There are some concerns that patients with asthma may be affected by these alterations during Ramadan and experience deterioration of their symptoms. This study aimed to investigate the effect of fasting in Ramadan on the severity of the disease and spirometric parameters in patients with asthma. Methods: An overall 120 patients with moderate to severe asthma were investigated during Ramadan and categorized into two groups of fasting (60 cases) and non-fasting (60 cases) groups. Patients underwent spirometry before and after Ramadan and asthma control status was also assessed. The parameters measured in spirometry were compared in each group before and after Ramadan and also between the two groups. Results: Spirometric measurements including forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and FEV1/FVC were not significantly different before and after Ramadan in both groups of fasting and non-fasting patients. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of these spirometric parameters changes from baseline. Nevertheless, FEV1 change in the fasting group was significantly higher than that in the non-fasting group (1.46±5.37 vs. -0.13±3.08, respectively; P=0.040). Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that fasting has no significant effect on the severity of asthma and spirometric findings in patients with moderate to severe asthma. Therefore, fasting during Ramadan can be considered safe for patients with asthma.

Authors: Golovachova Elene , Mikadze Tinatin , Kalandadze Manana
Published: August 2022

Background. Primary dentition takes the most important role in the development of permanent dentition. Primary second molars determine the eruption and position of permanent first molars. Early diagnosis and treatment could prevent the establishment of occlusal anomalies and deformities, therefore this study aimed to collect data about the prevalence of malocclusions based on the deciduous second molar terminal planes among the Tbilisi preschoolers. Methods. A total of 396 children aged 3-6 years, with an equal number of male and female subjects, were examined in kindergartens drawn from ten districts of Tbilisi, using the PPS (probability proportional to size) method. The relationship between distal surfaces of primary second molars was evaluated and recorded according to Baume’s classification. The significance level is 0.05 for all statistical tests. Results. Out of investigated preschoolers, 52.7% showed the flush terminal plane, followed by the distal step in 21.2% and mesial step in 26.1% of cases. There were no significant differences in genders. The most prevalent relationship between deciduous second molars was the flush terminal plane, with equal distribution in all age groups. The frequency of distal step decreased with age, more frequently recorded in the 3 to 4 year age group. The mesial step was mostly recorded in 3-4 and 5-6 year groups. Conclusion. The flush terminal plane is the most frequent molar relationship, followed by mesial and distal step. Prevalence of distal mesial step significantly decreased with age, while mesial step relationship showed the tendency to increase. The flush terminal plane showed little change with age.

Published: August 2022

Background. Stainless steel crowns (SSCs) of the opposing maxillary deciduous molar teeth are used in mandibular deciduous first molars with decreased proximal surfaces due to caries. However, the SSCs of maxillary deciduous molar teeth are different from those of the mandibular deciduous molars in terms of the occlusal surface morphology, the buccal margin, and the proximal surface contour. Therefore, it is possible to prepare the buccal and lingual surfaces to use the SSC of the lower deciduous molar teeth and compare microleakage. Methods. Eighty extracted mandibular deciduous first molars were randomly assigned to two groups. In the case group (BLP), the buccal (B) and lingual (L) surfaces were prepared in addition to the proximal (P) surface, and an SSC was placed on the mandibular first deciduous teeth. Only the proximal surface was prepared in the control (P) group, and the SSC of the opposing tooth (maxillary deciduous first molar teeth) was placed. After dissecting the teeth, the extent of dye penetration was measured. Results. The difference in microleakage on the buccal aspect between the case and control groups was significant (P=0.02); however, the difference in microleakage on the lingual aspect between the case and control groups was not significant (P=0.89). Conclusion. Microleakage at the buccal margin of the SSC of mandibular deciduous first molars was less than the maxillary deciduous first molar SSC, with no significant differences in the lingual margin.

Sacra Doctrina and the Role of Philosophy: Thomas Aquinas’s Commentary on De Trinitate, q.2, a.3.
Authors:   Catholic Institute of Bioethics, Lee Jae Kyung , Chung Hyun Sok
Published: August 2022

It is well known that Thomas Aquinas sees the relationship between reason and faith in harmonious terms. How then can we account for the case where anything is found in the claims of the philosophers which is contrary to the Christian belief? In order to examine his answer to this question, we should focus on Thomas’ Commentary on the De Trinitate of Boethius, q. 2, a. 3., in which he deals with the question whether it is permissible to use philosophical arguments and authorities in the sacra doctrina whose object is God. Thomas’ contemporary, Bonaventure refutes the theologian’s usage of philosophical argument in his theologizing since philosophy should not be mixed with theology lest the former should be changed into the latter. On the contrary, Thomas claims that philosophy is changed into theology, just as Jesus changed water to wine at the marriage feast in Cana. This claim leads us to the conclusion that Thomas who justifies the theologian’s usage of philosophical argument in his theologizing, is on the opposite side of Bonaventure.

Published: August 2022

For rice ratooning, the lateral bud germination of the rice stubble after the first harvesting can be used to continue the next growing season, but the first harvesting machinery will crush and damage the rice stubble, resulting in the reduction of yield in the ratooning season. Lifting the rolled stubble can reduce this loss, and thus a double-chain finger grain lifter was designed in this study. Then, a kinematic model and motion trajectory curve of the grain lifter was established. The influence law of the chain speed, chain spacing and the number of fingers of the rear lifting chain was determined. Furthermore, taking into account the success rate and the rate of secondary damage of the lifting, a full-factor bench test was performed. The best operating characteristics of the grain lifter are: chain speed of 345 r/min, adjacent chain spacing of 300 mm, and the number of gears and fingers on the rear lifting chain of 3. The success rate and the secondary damage rate of the lifting is 90.05% and 1.72%, respectively. A field verification test was conducted, with an average success rate of 55%. The results of this study can provide valuable reference for the lifting technology of rolled rice stubble and promote the whole mechanized production of ratoon rice.

The Manado Fault is a fault located in North Sulawesi which is through the North Minahasa Regency. The fault area is a weak zone that is formed when a crack occurs on the earth's surface, a gap with a certain depth and width is formed, because the natural process of the gap is filled by the surrounding soil material. This weak zone has the potential to become a reservoir for rainwater, which can become a groundwater aquifer. The formation of fractures depends on the geology of an area, fracture characteristics such as the width and depth of the fracture affect the potential for groundwater stored as aquifers. This study aims to identify the influence of geology on the physical parameters of the fault that determine the potential presence of groundwater aquifers in North Minahasa Regency. The faults identified as fractures in Watutumou II Village, Kalawat District and Rap Rap Village, Airmadidi District, North Minahasa Regency are associated with fluids and form groundwater aquifers. The potential for groundwater storage is related to geological conditions following the trend of depth to fracture width with a gradient of -0.0588.

Conventional direct current (DC)-poling and three different types of pulse-poling were performed on MnO-added Na0.55K0.45NbO3 (NKN) ceramics. While NKN with DC-poling at 4.0 kV mm−1 for a poling time (t
p) of 100 s showed a piezoelectric charge coefficient d
33 of 141.3 pC N−1, an almost equivalent d
33 (141.3 pC N−1) was recorded by pulse-poling in only 10 s under a unipolar electric field of 4.0 kV mm−1, with either triangular, or rectangular waveform. Especially when applying a triangular waveform, d
33 was enhanced remarkably with increasing the number of pulse cycles. In contrast, NKN ceramics poled by alternating current (AC) electric field showed a d
33 of less than 135 pC N−1 under any condition. Polarization–electric (P–E) field responses, and domain structure observations via scanning electron microscopy, showed the different poling behaviors for the various poling techniques. These results suggested that the pulse-poling method under unipolar electric field is an efficient poling procedure for NKN ceramics.

The chemical composition dependence of the Bi(Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3 (BMT)-modified BaTiO3 (BT)-BiFeO3 (BF) ceramics fabricated by a solid-state synthesis was studied. The effects of BT/BF ratios and BMT concentration on the crystal structure, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric properties were investigated. The crystal structure study carried out under the synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction revealed a change from rhombohedral structure to the pseudo-cubic structure when the BT contents were increased. A significant change in crystal structure and piezoelectric characteristics was confirmed by varying the BT/BF ratios. In contrast, the crystal symmetry remained unaffected by varying the BMT concentration, while tailoring of the piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties was revealed. Based on the analysis of the structural characteristics and overall electrical properties, the ceramics with modification of the BMT content along with BT/BF ratios could be applied as candidate materials for various practical applications.
Ist Einschränkung des Wahlkampfs vor der Wahlkampfzeit verfassungswidrig?: kritische Anmerkungen zur 2018 Hunba 146 Entscheidung von 2022.02.24. des koreanischen Verfassungsgerichts

Nach der 2018 Hunba 146 Entscheidung von 2022. 02. 24. des koreanischen Verfassungsgerichts ist „persönliche und mündliche Wahlkämpfe“ in §59 des Gesetzes über öffentliche Amtswahlen, und „andere Methoden“ im Sinne von „persönliche und mündliche Wahlkämpfe“ in §254 Abs.2 verfassungswidrig. Damit hat das Gericht Verbot des Wahlkampfs vor der Wahlkampfzeit nochmals stark eingeschränkt, nachdem es das Verbot des Wahlkampfs mittels Internet vor der Wahlkampfzeit als verfassungswidrig erklärt hat.
Dadurch bestehen die Beschränkungen des Wahlkampfs vor der Wahlkampfzeit nur noch in einem sehr begrenzten Umfang, wie z. B. Wahlkampf durch Rundfunk, und ihre Existenz wird in ihrer Bedeutung sogar stark abgeschwächt. In Anbetracht der Auswirkungen, die diese Entscheidung auf den künftigen Wahlprozess haben wird, wird in diesem Papier die Frage der Beschränkungen des Wahlkampfs eingehend untersucht. Im Ergebnis wurde bestätigt, dass das Verfassungsgericht die Ausnahmen von den Beschränkungen des vorgezogenen Wahlkampfs in den letzten 10 Jahren kontinuierlich ausgeweitet und die Beschränkungen des vorgezogenen Wahlkampfs tatsächlich stark reduziert haben.
In diesem Papier hat festgestellt, daß die Anerkennung einer Ausnahme vom „persönlichen und mündliche Wahlkampf“, die die Hauptbegründung für diese Entscheidung ist, Auswirkungen gibt, die Beschränkungen Einschränkung des Wahlkampfs vor der Wahlkampfzeit praktisch wirkungslos zu machen. Dadurch ensteht Sorge um Überhitzung, Trübung und sogar Illegalität und Korruption des Wahlkampfs.
Angesichts der Tatsache, daß die Überhitzung des negativen Wahlkampfs und die Kontroverse um Wahlfälschungen zunehmen, wie die jüngste 20. Präsidentschaftswahl gezeigt hat, ist ernsthafte Reflexion über die Entscheidung des Verfassungsgerichts zur Einschränkung des Wahlkampfs vor der Wahlkampfzeit erforderlich.

Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this research is to evaluate the ambiguity and conflict characteristics of role stress variables capable of mediating a job transfer and official performance. Research methodology: This experimental research was conducted to obtain a causal relationship between the respondents in Lampung, Way Kanan Regency, and analyzed using the Anova method. Results: The results showed that officials' performance was significantly higher when experiencing low ambiguity, according to role and contingency theories. Furthermore, both attributes were lower when officials received high-frequency and did not mediate the relationship between job transfer and performance. Limitations: This research is limited to paper and pencil, which prevents participants from feeling the real situation. Contribution: This research implies that job transfers can be conducted according to the needs and conditions of the local government. Keywords: 1. Job Mutation 2. Performance 3. Role Ambiguity 4.

Para minimizar o risco de contaminação pelo COVID-19 foram propostas mudanças no atendimento odontológico e medidas adicionais de biossegurança. Pouco se sabe sobre a adesão dos odontopediatrias a essas orientações. Os objetivos deste estudo transversal foram verificar o impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 no atendimento odontopediátrico e se os odontopediatras adotaram procedimentos minimamente invasivos (PMI) para manejo da cárie dentária durante este período. Um formulário eletrônico foi enviado aos odontopediatras regularmente inscritos no Conselho Regional de Odontologia – Goiás (CRO-GO). Foram obtidas informações sobre o participante (idade, sexo, tempo de formação, local de trabalho), alterações nos atendimentos e uso de PMI antes e durante a pandemia. Os dados foram analisados descritivamente e a proporção de uso de cada PMI antes e durante a pandemia foi comparada com o teste de McNemar. Setenta odontopediatras participaram do estudo. Redução do número de agendamentos e reagendamento da criança em casos de suspeita de COVID-19 foram relatadas por 97,1% e 95,7% dos participantes, respectivamente. A triagem do paciente antes da consulta foi relatada por 81,4% dos odontopediatras. Não houve diferença significativa no uso de PMI ao se comparar os períodos antes e durante a pandemia. Aplicação de resina infiltrante (antes da pandemia 14,3%; durante 8,6%), de diamino fluoreto de prata (41,4%; 41,4%) e uso de coroas de aço (técnica de Hall) (12,9%; 8,6%) foram os procedimentos menos frequentes. A pandemia alterou, principalmente, o agendamento dos pacientes pediátricos. Os PMI foram adotados independente da pandemia de COVID-19.

Data Mining is the detection in structured and unstructured data, previously unknown or hidden patterns and knowledge in the primary, accumulated as a result of business transactions, in order to form an appropriate knowledge base and make sound and optimal business decisions. It can be argued that in today's global economy, and with the emergence of new sectors of economic activity, the hybrid application of Data Mining and Big Data technologies leads to additional competitive advantages, and thus increase investment attractiveness and capitalization. The above trends and peculiarities of the application of automated Knowledge Management should be taken into account in further research and practical projects and real projects of effective implementation and use of Data Mining and Artificial Intelligence technologies in corporate information systems. The obtained results are relevant and applicable not only for local companies and organizations, but also for international applications in the context of global, national and regional (not only economic, but also pandemic, military, natural disaster etc) crisis phenomena.

This research aims to describe the implementation of the Child Friendly School Program (SRA), the supporting and inhibiting factors for the implementation of the SRA Program, as well as the benefits of implementing the SRA Program at SMPN 1 Gunungsari. The SRA program is a program that is expected to ensure the fulfillment of children's rights, such as getting protection to protect children from cases of violence that can occur in schools. This research used qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. Data collection techniques using observation techniques, interviews, and documentation. Based on the results of the study, it shows that the implementation of the SRA Program includes (1) SRA policies, (2) trained educators and education personnel of KHA and SRA, (3) implementation of child-friendly learning processes, (4) child-friendly facilities and infrastructure, (5) participation children, (6) the participation of parents, alumni, community organizations, and the business world, has not running optimally. This is because there are inhibiting factors in the form of the absence of a special SRA curriculum, funds that are still minimal, the absence of a special SRA team, and the participation of parents of students is still lacking. However, there are efforts in the form of supporting factors including the existence of human resources, infrastructure resources, and financial resources that can be optimized. In addition, there are benefits from implementing the SRA Program for schools, teachers, students, and the community.

Elemental characterization of glaze materials has not been of scholarly concern, especially in Nigeria where studies have also excluded animal by-products for glaze derivation and glaze modeling. This study therefore elementally examined ashes of bones of Capra hiracus (Red Sokoto Goats) and Capra aeagurus (West African Dwarf Goats) and produced glazes with them with a view to providing scientific modeling of the glazes. Raw bone samples of each animal were separately collected processed into ashes and analysed using particle induce X-ray emission (PIXE) and Rutherford Backscattering spectroscopic (RBS) techniques. Thirteen elements Magnesium, Aluminum, Silicon, Cholrine, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Titanium, Copper, Zinc, Lead and Iron (Mg, Al, Si, Cl, P, K, Ca, Ti, Cu, Zn, Pb and Fe) were determined and based on which the ashes of each sample with adobe clay, whiting, borax and soda ash were successfully modeled into five glaze batches, applied on bisque wares and fired up to 1150 0C in a down-draught kiln. Undiluted ash samples gave white and off-white colours. Their mixtures with other materials gave sienna and brown-ochre colours with opaque effect. In other words, the final glaze effects of the ashes were opaque. Visually, WAD combination was most successful, though with pocket of crazing, crawling and peeling off hosts. Conclusively, it is the hope of this article, that its finding will provoke further studies on comparative examination of animal by-products for glaze formulation, theorization and practical application.
