THE PHILOSOPHY, CULTURE, CHANGING LIFESTYLE AND RURAL POVERTY IN THE 21ST CENTURY GHANA
Authors: Sebbeh Bartholomew Johnson 
Published: August 2022

Purpose: A cursory look at the lives of most people living in the rural areas of Ghana suggests that they are poor as compared to their counterparts living in the urban areas. The study aimed at investigating into the culture, philosophy, lifestyles and factors that have impacted negatively on the socio-economic situation that make the people living in the rural areas poor.
Methodology: In order to obtain data on the causes of poverty among the rural people, the qualitative research approach was used for the study in which the observation method was employed to collect information from the elderly, youth, farmers, women, men, workers, illegal miners, traders, market women, etc. in some villages on their social lifestyles and economic activities. For effective and reliable outcome, unstructured interviews, surveys and investigations were used as tools to gather data. The use of unstructured interviews and conversations enabled majority of the sampled population who could not read nor write offer useful information.
Findings: The study revealed that rural poverty is on the ascendency because most of the youth who serve as the work force migrate to the urban areas in search of jobs and better living conditions while a fraction of those who remained engage in illegal mining. The effect of this illegal activities has led to the degradation of arable lands, destruction of millions of acreages of cash/food crops and river bodies making agriculture, which is the backbone of the economy, very unsustainable. The attitude of majority of Ghanaians to time and work, especially in the public sector, leaves much to be desired. As a result, a lot of man-hours is rendered unproductive due to unpunctuality, religious and cultural activities.
Unique contribution to theory and Practice and Policy: The outcome re-echoes the need for a policy direction on education that focuses on skill development and hands on experience to enable school leavers enter into entrepreneurship and be self-reliant so they will not be dependent on the limited government work. It will also make people come to the realization that only few people benefit from illegal mining but the harmful effects are universal and back government effort in fighting/curbing it. Government, Municipal/District Assemblies will see the need to provide amenities that rural communities lack, initiate intervention programmes for youth employment especially, in the rural areas to curtail rural-urban migration.
African Traditional Ritual Expressions of Salvation: Contextualised Biblical Hermeneutic(s) as an Ecclesiological Praxis
Authors: Kibaara Titus Kirimi 
Published: August 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this article is threefold: First, to present the African traditional ritual concept of salvation. Second, to demonstrate that this concept subconsciously forms the worldview through which African Christians interpret biblical narratives and salvation. Third, to access if certain ecclesiastical practices are influenced by the African salvific expressions.
Methodology: The methodology used is exploratory, where aspects of African salvific rituals and selected ecclesiastical practices are explored. Part one of this article deals with African expressions of salvation. Three aspects of salvation in the African Traditional Religion (ATR) are; one- traditional rituals that ward-off evil, two- continuity of life through genealogies and three- consciousness of ancestral spiritual world/living dead.
Findings: The findings are that these three are the hallmarks of African worldview as expression of salvation. Part two of the article deals with ecclesiastical interventions, specifically on contextual biblical hermeneutic(s) expounded in worship praxis paved by African worldview. The typological and allegorical hermeneutical theories of biblical interpretation are enriched by traditional African concept of salvation in African Christianity.
Contribution to Theory and Practice: In practice the African Church ought to spread the salvation of Jesus Christ through contextually interpreted biblical rituals.
On the Political Epistemology of Female Circumcision in Africa
Authors: Ekong Joseph T 
Published: August 2022

Purpose: The sensitization which this discussion engenders, has the objective of instituting an ever more formidable resilience in the advocacy against female genital mutilation (FGM) around the globe.
Methodology: Besides the expository, analytic and evaluative character of this work, a particular effort is made to unveil the political and epistemological trappings that undergird the condemnable, but on-going practice of female genital mutilation in different parts of the world, especially in the continent of Africa.
Findings: Some people point out that the word "cutting" is less judgmental and relates better to terms used in many local languages. However, many women's health and human rights organizations use the word "mutilation," not only to describe the practice, but also to point out the violation of women's human rights.
Unique Contribution to theory, practice and policy (recommendation): Ritual circumcision of young males and females is a practice seen in many cultures across the world, including sub-Saharan and North Africa, the Muslim Middle East, the Jewish diaspora, Aboriginal Australia, the Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia, etc. This work discuses female circumcision as “female genital mutilation” and rejects the view proposed by some that its practice is culturally and ethically relative. All three terms, female genital cutting (FGC), female circumcision, or female genital mutilation (FGM) describe the procedure that cuts away part or all of the external female genitalia and are used to describe the same thing, that is, mutilation. Some people fear that parents may resent the implication that they are "mutilating" their daughters by participating in this largely cultural event, and so reject the term FGM in favour of FGC.

Published: August 2022

The simultaneous estimation of Atorvastatin Calcium (ATS) and Olmesartan Medoxomil (OLM) in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms, a new, quick, and cost-effective Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) method has been developed. The experimental design was used to achieve multivariate optimization of the RP-HPLC experimental conditions. Three independent variables were used to create mathematical models: Acetonitrile content in the mobile phase composition, buffer pH, and flow rate. Here, the applied model was central composite design (CCD) to research the response surface methodology and study the effects of independent factors. The Shimadzu (LC 20 AT VP) HPLC system with Spinchrom software has been used. Zodiac, C18 (250×4.6 ID) 5μm column, phosphate buffers, and acetonitrile were used as mobile phase in the ratio 40:60 v/v with a flow rate 1.15 mL/min. The eluent was monitored at 212 nm using the Prominence UV-Visible detector. The retention time for OLM and ATS was 2.673 and 3.717, respectively. The optimized procedure was validated as per ICH guidelines. The correlation coefficient of OLM and ATS was 0.9869 and 0.9832. The % of recovery was 98.59, 99.68 %. OLM had a LOD of 17.568 μg/mL, while ATS had a LOD of 12.88 μg/mL. OLM had a LOQ of 53.24 μg/mL, while ATS had a LOQ of 39.04 μg/mL. The pH aqueous phase, solvent composition, and flow rate were the most stringent variables affecting the responses, according to the 3D response surface graphs. A new accurate and precise RP-HPLC approach has been developed and validated and used to regularly analyse OLM and ATS.

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Everyday Acts of Design
Authors: Anastassakis Zoy , Busch Otto von , Ávila Martín , DelSesto Matthew , Anastassakis Zoy , Staszowski Eduardo , Martins Marcos , Martins Marcos 
Published: August 2022

From 2016-2018, teachers and students at the State University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil found themselves at the center of a crisis. A new right-wing government suspended payment of staff salaries and student scholarships and stopped funding basic maintenance. Everyday Acts of Design tells the story of how the university’s design school reacted to the crisis: not with despondency or despair, but by promoting a series of radical teaching experiments.
Working together, students, alumni, teachers, and staff embraced hope as a method, demonstrating that it is possible to find positive answers even in a situation of imminent collapse. The case histories narrated in the book provide alternatives to conventional forms of design teaching, but also prove that education can be a site for democracy and the practice of freedom. Deprived of the activity of creating for an imagined future, design can still assert a way forward through practices of making and experimenting. Drawing on their personal experience of designing and teaching design at a time of crisis, the authors assert the value of a design attitude which, in refusing to be delimited by the forethought of designing, insists on a radical, experimental practice as a means of survival.
Although a multitude of voices, both assenting and dissenting, are present in the text, the authors do not hide their own position, making it clear that their stories are not a balanced mosaic of polyphonic positions. The contemporary attack on free public education, fueled by the growth of far-right regimes all over the globe, relies on a totalizing univocal conception of ‘truth’ as a means to shut down a plurality of thinking. Against this, this book adopts the partiality of historical and cultural truths as an urgent and explicit counter-attack. Adopting a consciously international approach,the authors connect and compare their own story with those of similar design teaching movements in the Global South, such as the Barefoot School in India, and ZIVA, founded by Saki Mafunkikwa in Zimbabwe.
Design and the Social Imagination
Authors: DelSesto Matthew 
Published: August 2022

How can social theory help us all design solutions to address the social, political and ecological challenges that confront us, and build more sustainable communities?
Design professions have typically been associated with intervention and action, while social science has long been associated with thought and reflection. Design and social thought are too frequently considered distinct in terms of how theories can be applied in practice. Design and the Social Imagination brings together the creative, action-oriented sensibility of design with the reflective, analytical capacities of the social sciences to offer models, ideas and strategies for shaping the future of the world we live in.
In a world of global economic inequality, racism, and environmental degradation, designing with an understanding of our social reality is increasingly crucial to our survival. Matthew DelSesto explores current practices and discourses in areas of urban design, design for social innovation, environmental design, co-design, service design, and more, illustrating how thoughtful design can contribute in a more productive way. Drawing on a range of theory and practice from radical social thinkers C. Wright Mills, Patrick Geddes, Jane Addams and W. E. B. Du Bois, his book shows us how design and the social sciences can interact in order to intervene in the crises we face today.

Nusinersen (Spinraza)
Authors: CADTH  
Published: August 2022

CADTH recommends that Spinraza should not be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of patients with type II and type III 5q spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) regardless of ambulatory status if initiated in patients older than 18 years of age.
No randomized clinical trials evaluating the efficacy or safety of Spinraza in treatment-naïve adult patients with type II or type III SMA have been conducted.
Evidence from 4 observational studies generally suggested that treatment with Spinraza may improve or maintain physical abilities; however, due to the limitations of these studies, it was not possible to conclude that the improvement or maintenance in physical function including movement or strength were a result of Spinraza.
There is a need for treatments in adult patients with type II and type III SMA that stabilize disease progression, including the avoidance of using machines to help breathing, improve strength in the upper limbs, and improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, the evidence reviewed did not show that Spinraza would meet any of these needs.

Published: August 2022

Studies on contaminant bioaccumulation in tropical mangrove ecosystems are very limited. An attempt has been made to assess sources of primary productivity and chemical bioaccumulation behavior in true and associated mangrove plants, water, and sediments from the Pichavaram Mangrove Ecosystem. The water, sediment, and plant materials were collected at 7 different locations and the samples were analyzed to determine the concentration of heavy metals using a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The result reviles that the maximum lead concentrations of 5.48 ppm/g were accumulated in sediment samples collected from shrimp pond effluent and 4.26 ppm/l from water during post-monsoon. The maximum Zinc concentration of 12.34 ppm/g was observed in sediment samples collected from degraded mangrove forests during post-monsoon and 10.99 ppm/g was observed in sediment samples during the summer season. Higher heavy metals concentration was observed during spring and summer this may be due to increased biological activities, land runoff and rainfall during these seasons. The maximum Copper concentration 9.07 ppm/g was observed in sediment at degraded mangrove forest during post-monsoon and 8.16 ppm/g was observed in sediment during the summer season. Heavy metals concentrations in different parts of A. marina mangrove plants were analyzed. In leaf sample, Pb 5.44 ppm/g in shrimp pond effluent site, Cd 4.97 ppm/g in degraded site, Zn 4.43 ppm/g in degrading site, Cr 2.17 ppm/g in Freshwater zone at Vellar, Hg 1.68 ppm/g in shrimp pond effluent site, Cu 0.86 ppm/g in Freshwater zone at Upannar was recorded. In stem sample Pb 6.89 ppm/g and Zn 5.67 ppm/g in the degraded site, Cd 5.27 ppm/g in the natural site, Hg 4.91 ppm/g in degrading, Cr 2.49 ppm/g and Cu 0.87 ppm/g in Freshwater zone at Upannar was recorded. In Avicennia roots, Cr 10.89 ppm/g in shrimp pond effluent, Pb 10.17 ppm/g in natural site, Cd 6.89 ppm/g in freshwater zone at Vellar, Zn 6.86 ppm/g in degrading mangrove site, Hg 5.48 ppm/g in degraded site, Cu 0.92 ppm/g in backwater mouth was recorded. Heavy metals contamination was observed in almost all the samples in higher concentrations. The results indicate that Avicennia marina have a greater potential to observe and accumulate higher concentration than associated mangroves. A. marina plant can be used for phytoremediation to remove the heavy metals from the mangrove ecosystem and will help for ecological studies, conservation and sustainable management of the mangrove habitats.
Investigation of theEffect of Vitamin C In The Prevention of Transport-Induced Stress in Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus)
Authors: ALTUNBEY Tuba , KAYA Mehmet 
Published: August 2022

Objective: In this study, the efficiency of vitamin C on the prevention or reduction of transport induced stress in ring-necked pheasants was investigated.
Material and Method: Two experimental and a control group were formed in the study. Vitamin C was given to the experimental groups in the drinking water for one week at the levels of 200 (AA1) and 400 (AA2) mg/kg BW daily. After one week, the pheasants were transported and the plasma corticosterone levels and heterophil/lymphocyte ratio were determined before and after transport.
Results: When the values obtained before and after transplantation were compared, a significant increase was found after transplantation for both parameters in the control group, while a significant increase was found only in plasma CS levels in the AA1 and AA2 groups. All parameters before and after transport were similar in all three groups. After transport, level of plasma corticosterone and heterophil/lymphocyte ratio were similar in the experimental groups, but these parameters were lower than the control group.
Conclusion: Administration of oral vitamin C for one week before transportation decreases transport induced stress response.
