The vulnerability of peri-urban farm households with the emergence of land Markets in Accra
Authors: Oduro C. Y. , Adamtey R.
Published: May 2021

Accra, the capital of Ghana, is a fast-growing African city. Its growth has brought in its wake an ever-increasing demand for land, which has in turn led to the emergence of a land market that is increasingly supplanting the age-old customary land tenure system. The customary land tenure system is based on communal, rather than individual ownership of land. However, over the last few decades, the system has come under pressure from the forces of rapid urbanization, city expansion and increasing demand for land for urban development. The purpose of this paper was to examine the vulnerability of residents of indigenous communities in peri-urban Accra due to the emerging urban land market. The case study approach has been used to explore vulnerability among residents of two indigenous communities in peri-urban Accra in respect of their ability to access land. Household surveys, focus group discussions and key informant interviews involving community members, leaders and municipal officials were the main techniques used to collect data. The study revealed that indigenous and long-term residents had their farmlands converted to urban development without any measures in place to protect them from the collapsing customary land tenure system and the evolving urban land market. This has negatively impacted their quality of life, especially with respect to livelihoods. There is therefore the need for municipal assemblies to include the preservation of farmlands in the management of physical growth and land use so as to minimize the rate at which farmlands are being converted to urban development. Measures should also be put in place to restore farm households that have lost their land to urban development in the form of compensation and provision of alternative livelihoods. Keywords: Vulnerability; customary; land tenure; urban growth; land market
Estimating the effects of income on food consumption expenditure in the Volta Region of Ghana
Authors: Adzawla W. , Kudadze S.
Published: May 2021

This study examined the effect of disaggregated income and other socioeconomic factors on per capita food consumption expenditure of households in the Volta region of Ghana. This involved a total of 1,574 households obtained from the Ghana Living Standard Survey round six data (GLSS6 data). A quantile regression and Ordinary Least Square regression were fitted to the data. The results showed that, income from agricultural activities, non-farm activities, remittances and wage activities had positive and significant effect on per capita food consumption expenditure of the selected households. The study concluded that although income from all sources led to an increase in food consumption expenditure, a larger share of agricultural income is used for households’ food consumption purposes. To reduce households’ vulnerability to food insecurity, price incentives to increase the real income from agriculture in particular should be promoted. Also, dietary education should be encouraged among households in the region. Keywords: Food expenditure; income; quantile regression; Volta region
Analysis of gender representation in basic level English textbooks in Ghana
Authors: Nunoo F. N.K. , Mensah D. P. , Adu Boahen E. , Nunoo I. E. N.
Published: May 2021

Textbooks are known to influence the behaviours and worldview of children. Apart from imparting critical knowledge to pupils, textbooks also encourage pupils to form certain perceptions and stereotypes, including the ‘appropriate’ gender-specific roles in society. This paper examined gender stereotypes in the content and design of the Pupil’s English textbook at the Basic Level in Ghana using content analysis. The study revealed that, as teaching materials, the English Pupil’s Books 1, 2 and 3 displayed gross gender bias that reinforces the stereotypical roles of males and females in Ghanaian society. This does not reflect the development of society towards equality between men and women since there was no equality in how both genders are represented in the textbooks.Keywords: Gender; stereotype; gender stereotype; textbooks
The Rationality of Ethics: Teleological Theory reconciled in the context of Abortion
Authors: Jibiliza Xolisa
Published: May 2021

This paper sought to argue about the notion of abortion, and its immorality within a society. Viewed teleologically, human behaviour such as committing abortion, may be designated as being moral or immoral according to the goals clearly established by a person and reasons given. Teleologic theory thus proposes that the ethical decision for carrying out an abortion focusses on the outcome of the abortion and its outcome on society. Realizing a goal and what one is doing is required and is an adequate condition to consider moral action without bearing in mind any transitional action taken to arrive at a particular objective. The article also seeks to reveal the importance of the biblical view of life as gift emanating from a Creator God. The author places emphasis on the ethical values deemed to be appropriate for Christians based on Holy Scripture
relating to life and death issues. The themes for this paper were addressed by the researcher as follows: The immorality on abortion, some reasons given for abortion, the right to abortion, the unborn baby has a right to life, the unwanted pregnancy, Church views on abortion, society’s view on abortion and what is considered to be right or wrong, ethical and unethical in having an abortion.
Empowering Leaders through the COVID -19 Crisis: Implementing a Transformative Communication Model
Authors: Bent-Cunningham Claudine , Mauzard Nicole
Published: May 2021

This study was a reflection on the implementation of a transformative communication model at a school in Central Jamaica to address interruptions in communication and school operations among key stakeholders brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. The researchers sought to establish what kind of support the leaders and teacher leaders needed to improve communication among staff members and pupils in order to restore stability to the school environment. The project employed the Kurt Lewin’s change model: Unfreeze, Change, re-freeze. The study involved seven participants: the leader of the institution and six teachers who operated as teacher leaders with varying leadership portfolios. The researchers found that crisis leadership was necessary to mitigate against the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the institution which existed in the deep rural community. The researchers also found that improving leader’ and teacher leaders’ communication competencies boosted morale and encouraged normalcy in school operations. In applying the transformative communication model, the institution was entirely transferred to the TEAMS platform. A team of international experts in education and communication, that became a sustained extension of the institution, trained the leader and teacher leaders to manage the crisis and increased their communication competencies, while normal school operations continued on the platform. This project demonstrated that in times of crisis, if all stakeholders collaborate, organizational goals can be attained.

Even in Fateful Situations a Vital Optimism Remains: Social Work “Accompaniment” with Persons with Cancer
Authors: Kiaunyte Asta , Ruskus Jonas , Telmentiene Roberta , McCrea Katherine Tyson
Published: May 2021

To advance a social work model for working with patients with diagnoses of cancer in diverse global contexts, this paper draws from qualitative research with clients diagnosed with cancer, and their social workers, in Lithuania. As in many countries, Lithuanian social work is a new profession, finding its way to helping people through many life stressors in a unique cultural context. The threat cancer presents – of dying from a protracted and painful illness – requires social work strategies, especially because many countries lack Hospice supports. Key aspects of the findings are the life crisis that a diagnosis of cancer presents, with great fear, anguish, and shifts in personal identity. Clients and social workers describe physical and emotional suffering and alienation from others. While some aspects of clients’ suffering cannot be alleviated by social workers, alienation can be, so here we focus on that possibility. The data from clients and social workers are used to revise crisis intervention theories to suit this unique type of crisis, and an alternative concept of “accompaniment” is offered to capture how social workers can reduce alienation. Drawing from the work of Farmer, Watkins, and O’Donoghue, accompaniment is compatible with strengths-based and wholistic approaches to practice and is adaptable for those with any belief system.

Underlying Aspects in Tagore’s Translation Of Red Oleanders: A Critical Reading
Authors: Uzzaman Sharif
Published: May 2021

Though Rabindranath Tagore’s works have been studied and praised for decades around the world, his struggles to reconcile cultural as well as linguistic differences between English and his native tongue, Bengali through translations of his works have largely been overlooked. This paper though a comparative study between Tagore’s drama Raktakarabi and its translated version Red Oleanders, seeks to find out how Tagore deals with various cultural, literary and linguistic issues that have arisen during the translation and whether the differences between two languages with distinct natures and unique histories have forced him to make fundamental changes to the play. The research also aims to critically look at the reasons behind Red Oleanders’ apparent failure in the west and takes into account relevant translation theories to discuss how various changes to the play have contributed to creating stark contrasts between the original and the translation.

Les derniers vers du roman arthurien
Authors: Toniutti Géraldine
Published: May 2021

Qu’implique le choix du vers dans le roman, à une époque où la prose s’est déjà imposée comme forme privilégiée du genre ? C’est à cette question que la présente étude soumet le corpus des derniers romans arthuriens en vers, rédigés entre 1260 et 1380. Le choix atypique du vers dans ces romans interroge les valeurs esthétiques attribuées à chaque forme au cours de ces siècles de mutation que sont le XIIIe et le XIVe siècle : l’écriture en vers résiste, mais est en décalage avec la forme irrémédiablement favorisée. À partir de ces textes, l’étude trace l’abandon du vers au profit de la prose dans le roman et sa spécialisation lyrique, engageant ainsi des réflexions sur la conjonction entre forme et genre. Ce corpus invite encore à théoriser la position tardive qu’occupent ces romans dans la trajectoire historique du roman arthurien en vers. Des interactions entre vers tardif et prose émergeante découle une véritable poétique de la tardivité, dont l’étude rend compte.
Des airs, des lieux et des hommes. Les théories des climats à la Renaissance
Authors: Rouiller Dorine
Published: May 2021

Les théories antiques des climats subissent, à la Renaissance, une mise à l’épreuve sans précédent. La reconfiguration de l’espace à laquelle assiste et participe l’Europe des XVe et XVIe siècles ébranle cet ordre explicatif ancien, fondé sur une vision du monde désormais caduque qui délimitait des zones terrestres et définissait des rapports d’influence entre lieux et hommes. Loin pourtant d’être abandonnées, ces théories conservent leur emprise en se transformant. Sur le long chemin qui verra partiellement subsister cet ensemble composite jusqu’aux Lumières, la Renaissance est une période charnière qui permet de saisir la capacité de ces modèles à se maintenir en absorbant ce qui leur fait obstacle et en s’adaptant à des réalités nouvelles telles que l’habitabilité de la zone torride et l’existence du continent américain.

NATURAL SCIENCES AS BASIS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PATRIOTISM AMONG SCHOOL-LEARNERS: PEDAGOGICAL ORIENTATION
Authors: Melnik Eleonora
Published: May 2021

The need in development of patriotism among European countries’ citizens have objective (environmental changes, ecological and economic crisis, migration process, unequal distribu-tion of labour force) and subjective reasons that is developmental peculiarities of person’s subjective features (personal ambitions, national identity, connections with nature and other people). These reasons determine paths of patriotism development in each country. Patriot-ism in the meaning of “attachment of people (person) to their place of birth, place of living and its’ arrangement” is one of the most adequate phenomena in contemporaneity. Natural sciences research natural habitat of people and their cultural peculiarities. The use of innova-tive approach to understanding of “patriotism” in this context will provide reconstruction of fading feelings, attitudes and actions in the environment in person’s consciousness, it will also help to encourage them to create prosperous material and spiritual living conditions in their place of birth and in the place where they live and will live in the future. Natural sciences can act as basic sciences for school-children helping them to study the nature of their place of living. Educational standards of different countries include “Environmental study” in the ed-ucational programme of elementary school. The content of this school subject consists of two components - natural sciences (revealing characteristics and conditions of the environment) and social sciences (giving the reason for creating person’s relationships with the environ-ment). Using this integrative approach the teacher provides complex study of the word and person in all his or her diverse connections for elementary school children.
Key words: natural science education, patriotism, pedagogical orientation.

You may be infected by breathing in the virus if you are with in close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface & then your eyes, nose or mouth. So it is very harmful & most of the Corona patients are hospitalized so, it is dangerous for hospital staff. A proposed system is a work like medicine distributor in the hospital. In today's world, people are suffering from several diseases and due to this the need for medication has increased exponentially. An average person takes 2-3 tablets a days and there is a chance for the person to miss the tablets. In order to avoid such mistakes an automated system for dispensing medicines is required. In this proposed system, we present a prototype robotic system that automatically dispenses medicines to the patients in the hospital. The robot model which carries medicines for patients will deliver them at the respective time. The robot uses line follower method to deliver the pills to the patient's room. In this way the medication errors can be prevented and the need for the patient to remember their medicines is not needed anymore.

Comorbidades psiquiátricas em pacientes de cefaleias primárias
Authors: Santos Camila Cordeiro dos , Lippi Glauce Regina
Published: May 2021

O presente estudo buscou realizar uma revisão não sistemática de publicações referentes à cefaleia e comorbidades psiquiátricas. É constatado que a cefaleia possui várias comorbidades, incluindo depressão e ansiedade. Cerca de 30% de portadores de cefaleia apresentam quadros depressivos e 60% apresentam sintomatologia ansiosa. Acredita-se que a própria fisiopatologia da cefaleia possa ser favorável ao desenvolvimento dessas comorbidades. Além disso, o desconforto e as dores causadas pela cefaleia que muitas vezes limita o paciente no exercício de suas atividades diárias também funcionem como fatores predisponentes a essas comorbidades. Ressalta-se também a importância do conhecimento adequado do médico sobre a sintomatologia dessas comorbidades e que este facilite o diagnóstico e um tratamento eficiente no controle e/ou remissão dos sintomas. Neste contexto, o presente estudo busca oferecer informações baseadas em estudos realizados com pacientes portadores de cefaleia com o objetivo de descrever os tratamentos atuais e novas descobertas a respeito da cefaleia, favorecendo assim melhor compreensão da referida patologia bem como os impactos causados por suas comorbidades, e estratégias que possibilitem melhor qualidade de vida aos pacientes que convivem com a cefaleia frequentemente.

This study presents sinkhole attack detection and prevention using agent-based algorithm. In this algorithm, agents are used to provide information to all node from its reliable neighbors by negotiation in three steps, thus nodes may not be able to pay the attention to the traffic made by sinkhole attacker. In this work, network scale of 500×500 m2 square areas have been considered. Series of simulation are carried in each experiment. Every simulation run is being organized to work for 10mins. Network performance is evaluated in terms of throughput, packet delivery ratio, jitter, delay in packets delivery, data packets received, data packets drop using network simulations software. Network simulation results depicts that in proposed algorithm, throughput increases by 15 to 20 percent, packet delivery ratio increases by 30 to 40%, decrease in the jitter by 10 to 15 %, delay in packets delivery is decreased by 15 to 20 %, data packets received are increased by 15 to 20 % and number of the data packets drop are decreased by 5 to 15 %. Based on simulation results throughput, packet delivery ratio and data packets received increased in proposed agent-based algorithm. However, it is observed that, jitter, delay in packets delivery and data packets drop were decreased.

THE IMPACT OF INCOME ON LECTURER ATTRACTION IN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN VIETNAM TODAY
Authors: Thuy Pham Minh
Published: May 2021

This article researches the income level of lecturers at public universities in Vietnam and identifies the impacts of income on lecturer attraction in public universities. The article uses public university lecturer income data based on 22 state audit reports in 2018. In addition, 369 questionnaires are also used to analyze barriers in attracting lecturers to public universities in Vietnam. The research results show that salaries make up a small part of the total income of lecturers. The additional income currently accounts for the largest proportion of the lecturer's total income and there is a clear disparity between universities. Bonuses for international scientific publications vary widely between universities. The higher the bonus level of the university, the higher the lecturer's income compared to other universities. Inequality in salary payments and additional income payments have created barriers making it difficult to attract lecturers to public universities in Vietnam. The phenomenon of internal brain drain (social mobility without migration) is increasingly popular and becoming a development trend in the future.

EPIDEMIOLOGY AND RISK FACTORS OF WARM AND COLD AUTOIMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA
Authors: Musteata Vasile , Thoufeeq Aslam
Published: May 2021

Even though clinical features in autoimmune haemolytic anaemia vary according to the type of AIHA, anaemic syndrome stays common for most of the cases. A positive Coombs test or direct anti-globulin test developed in 1945 by Coombs, Mourant and Race, is the most deciding factor in AIHA diagnosis. Since the immunologic mechanisms causing erythrocyte destruction vary between AIHAs, treatment is also different. Empirical approach with glucocorticoids is the main treatment of AIHA overall, but less effective in CAD. However, the current medical literature is still with gaps concerning the management, presentation and diagnosis of the different types of AIHA altogether.
