Twenty four ethanol leaf and stem bark extracts of 17 indigenous plants were examined for their phytochemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Phytochemical compositions were analysed with GC-MS while antimicrobial activities on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated by the agar well diffusion method. The antioxidant activities were determined with Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), total phenolic content (TPC) and 2, 2,-dihenyl-1-picryhydazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assays. The antibacterial activity was more towards the gram positive S. aureus than the gram negative P. aeruginosa for all the plant extracts. A wide range of phenolic concentrations among the aqueous plant extracts which varied from 28.04 to 500.26mg GAE per gram were observed. Inhibition percentages of DPPH ranged from 19.13 to 95.77% showing effectiveness in radical scavenging. GC-MS characterization of the plant extracts showed a total of 18 components including alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, saponins, terpenoids, steroids and glycosides. Irvingia gabonensis leaf (IGL) extract and Tamarind stem bark (TSB) exhibited excellent ferric reducing abilities of 2.11 and 1.56 respectively while Voucanga Africana leaf (VCA) extract indicated the lowest ferric reducing power of 0.50. Extracts of IGL and TSB exhibited the highest antioxidant capacities and therefore could be the main sources of natural antioxidant. An important relationship between total phenolic content was observed showing that the major contributor to the antioxidant properties were phenolic compounds.

Published: December 2022

Oil pollution might affect soil physicochemical properties. Pore spaces might be clogged, which could reduce soil aeration, water infiltration and increase bulk density, subsequently affecting plant growth. This study investigated the effect of oil spill sites at Kokori, Delta State, Nigeria, analyzing physicochemical properties, total petroleum hydrocarbon, polyaromatic hydrocarbon, benzene, anions and selected heavy metal concentrations using standard methods. Data obtained revealed that the physicochemical properties of the assessed soils were insignificantly altered when compared with their respective DPR intervention values. PH values were in the range of 4.80-5.60 which is considered to be strongly acidic. The electrical conductivity ranged from 122µS/cm to 185µS/cm indicating that the soil is saline. Chloride ion values were between 32.50mg/kg to 82.10mg/kg. Nitrate ranged from 0.85mg/kg to 1.04mg/kg, while phosphate was between 0.34mg/kg and 0.96mg/kg. Total petroleum hydrocarbon varied from 7.12-45.66mg/kg for topsoil and 7.12-37.82mg/kg for bottom soil. It is lowest at 7.12mg/kg, mean at 18.1mg/kg. These values were within the DPR permissible limits. Benzene and Polyaromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) had a constant value of 0.001mg/kg in all locations. Iron, arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel and copper were the heavy metals detected. Their concentrations at spill sites were moderate and generally did not exceed their respective target limits. However, level of lead was as high as 11.6mg/kg in location 3. The soil should be monitored so that it does not exceed the threshold values of the studied parameters.

Published: December 2022

Background: Male involvement in family planning (FP) is most often associated with better health outcomes for the family. This study assessed male involvement in FP at Fadan Kamantan, a rural community in Zango Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, North Western Nigeria.
Methods: This was a community-based descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among 166 married men selected using multi-staged sampling technique. A set of structured, interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to obtain information from the respondents. Data was analyzed with IBM SPSS version 23.0 and STATA/SE 12. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05.
Results: The mean age of respondents was 38 ±10.7 years. Current use of FP method by the respondents’ spouses was 80 (51%). One hundred and twenty-two (77.7%) of the men gave consent for their wives to attend the FP clinics, 60 (38.2%) ever followed wives to the FP clinics, 122 (77.7%) ever initiated FP discussion with their spouses, 14 (8.9%) initiated FP discussions all the time, husbands predominantly took FP decisions 89 (56.7%). Only 97 (58.4%) had good overall scores for male involvement in FP decision making. The odds for good male involvement in FP was 27 times higher for those who had tertiary education (AOR=27.00, 95%CI=2.95-247.44) compared to those with no formal education.
Conclusion: The study showed that male involvement in FP was determined by educational status. The Local Government Authority should engage in health education on FP services targeted at men with lower educational status in this community.

Published: December 2022

Dalam pendidikan Islam, disyaratkan adanya suatu lingkungan pendidikan agar tercapainya tujuan pendidikan. Terdapat tiga lingkungan pendidikan utama, yaitu keluarga, sekolah, dan masyarakat. Masjid merupakan salah satu sarana pendidikan nonformal bagi masyarakat Islam. Kehadirian berbagai bentuk pendidikan non formal berbasis masjid pada konteks kekinian terus saja bermunculan, dari pendidikan usia dini (pra MDTA/ Pra TPQ), hingga pendidikan untuk manula (majelis taklim). Kondisi ini tentu saja menjadi suatu gairah baru dalam pendidikan Islam dalam lembaga-lembaga non formal, sebagai salah upaya untuk merealisasikan hadis nabi tentang kewajiban menuntut ilmu dari mulai ayunan sampai liang lahat. Jika ditela’ah betul hadis ini memberikan kewajiban untuk umat melaksanakan. Jika dalam pendidikan formal ada batas-batas umur yang ditetapkan sesuai dengan jenjangnya, serta juga membutuhkan biaya yang banyak, maka dengan adanya pendidikan non formal berbasis masjid menjadi suatu alternatif baru bagi umat ini melaksanakan hadis rasul tersebut. Maka dengan gairah munculnya berbagai lembaga pendidikan non formal berbasis masjid hendaknya dapat menjadi alternatif dalam pengembangan pendidikan Islam kedepannya.
Recurrence of an Image
Authors: Clytus Radiclani 
Published: December 2022

Josiah Wedgwood’s design for the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade is primarily an artifact of a past politics of inclusion that literally required the posing of the question “Am I Not a Man and a Brother?” for the sake of Africans’ shared basis in humanity. With its loinclothed kneeling slave in manacles and pathetic appeal, it is a rather disturbing example of how images can both encourage and curtail the expansion of socially democratic principles. And yet, if we were to extrapolate from the form and content of Wedgwood’s emblem, a rich legacy of influence emerges across two centuries of black protest. Through an assessment of performative declarations and appeals that amount to a cross-disciplinary continuation of the “Negro Question,” this essay will outline the epistemological continuity that binds our current categorical regard for black humanity with its less-than-ideal origins.

Authors: Yaro David Suaka , Longi Felix Y. 
Published: December 2022

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explore the leadership role played by traditional leaders in conflict resolution in the Sayegu Traditional Area.
Methodology: Participants were purposively sampled from five (5) communities upon their preparedness to take part in the study. An interview guide and oral recordings were employed to gather the primary data. Data analysis was done qualitatively and where appropriate direct quotations were used to support the main analysis.
Findings: The study suggests that traditional leadership plays a central role in conflict resolution. Political leadership recorded a minimal role in conflict resolution. Chiefs and the Council of elders were the most instrumental in matters of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Chiefs presided over conflict cases brought or summoned up to the Palace while the Council of elders offered counselling roles to the chiefs. District Chief Executives with the help of the Regional Security Council provided resources to calm tensions between conflicting factions.
Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: Some of the recommendations include traditional leaders should be encouraged to develop more affectionate relationships with key actors irrespective of their differences in political, tribal, clan, family, and religious attachment.
1909 Adana Olayları Sırasında Bir Kriz Yönetimi Örneği: Lazkiye’ye Ermeni Göçü ve Mutasarrıf Mehmed Ali Bey
Authors: AKBULUT Uğur 
Published: December 2022

Osmanlı Devleti, neredeyse bütün bir XIX. yüzyılı parçalanmayı önlemek için çözüm arayışları ile geçirmiştir. Başta Tanzimat Fermanı olmak üzere başvurulan tedbirler devlete belirli bir dinamizm kazandırsa da arzu edilen bütünlük korunamadığı gibi ekonomik ve toplumsal refah da temin edilememiştir. Devletin içinde bulunduğu durumdan istifade etmek isteyen gruplardan biri de Ermenilerdi. Yüzyılın son çeyreğinden itibaren harekete geçen Ermeniler amaçlarına ulaşamamışlardı. Bununla beraber Ermeniler, 1908’de Meşrutiyet’in getirdiği hürriyet ortamından yararlanarak gerekli hazırlıkları yapmış ve bir kez daha harekete geçmişlerdi. Ermenilerin tahriki ile Adana’da başlayan olaylar Müslümanların sert tepkisine neden olmuş ve çatışmalar çevre şehir ve kasabalara yayılmıştı. Olaylardan etkilenen yerlerden biri de Halep vilayetine bağlı Cisr-i Şuğur kazasının Keseb köyüdür. Tamamı Ermenilerden oluşan Keseb’e yapılan saldırı sonrası 5.000 kadar Ermeni Lazkiye’ye sığınmış ve Lazkiye Mutasarrıfı Mehmed Ali Bey’in koordinasyonu sonrası yeniden köylerine dönmüşlerdi.
Bu çalışmada Keseb’den Lazkiye’ye yapılan göç ve bu göçün sebep olduğu kriz karşısında bir yönetici olarak Lazkiye Mutasarrıfı Mehmed Ali Bey ele alınacaktır. Özellikle Adana’da meydana gelen olaylar sırasında yerel yöneticilerin yetersiz bulunduğu, hatta suçlandığı bir dönemde bir diğer yerel yöneticinin ortaya koyduğu başarı incelenmeye değer bulunmuştur. Mehmed Ali Bey’in bir anda karşı karşıya kaldığı krizin üstesinden gelme becerisi Beyrut valiliği, Lazkiye halkı, Keseb Ermenileri, Ermeni Patrikhanesi, hükümet ve hatta Papa nezdinde takdir görmüştür. Adana’da başlayan olaylar, olayların çevreye yayılması, Keseb’den Lazkiye’ye göç ve sığınmacıların geri dönüşü Osmanlı ve İngiliz arşiv kayıtları, dönemin gazeteleri, hatıralar ve konuyla ilgili araştırma eserlerinden yararlanılarak ele alınmıştır.

Abstract
A study on monitoring PM2.5 concentrations at an underground subway station using light scattering and beta attenuation methods was conducted. Six optical particle counters (OPCs), which were representative of the light scattering method and had 16 size channels, were installed at different sampling sites in the waiting room and platforms to compare PM2.5 concentrations, determine PM2.5 /PM10 ratios, and characterize the size distribution based on particle number. In terms of the beta attenuation method, a beta-ray attenuation monitor (BAM) was set up at the platform to compare it with OPCs for one month. It was found that 1h-average PM2.5 concentrations varied at different sampling sites depending on PM composition, while 24h-average PM2.5 concentrations were independent of the sampling sites. There was a significant difference between the means of 1h-average PM2.5 concentrations observed by the BAM and OPC when PM2.5 contributed to less than 50% or higher than 80% of PM10. In contrast, the 24h-average PM2.5 concentrations observed by the BAM and OPC showed the same patterns as each other with an insignificant difference. Therefore, an OPC can be used to monitor the 24h-average PM2.5 concentration in an underground subway station. However, the use of OPC to measure the 1h-average PM2.5 concentration should consider PM composition and other factors. In addition, more frequent calibration is needed on a regular basis.
