REMARK
No specimen was observed. The occurrence of the species in the forest zone between Togo and Ghana was reported by Rödel & Agyei (2003). Our field work could not confirm its presence in Togo. We assume its presence in the country, and especially in ecological zone IV. The area from Akloa to Diguengue might be favourable to this species. The species as currently understood has a wide distribution in West and Central Africa (Rödel et al. 2002), but actually comprises a complex of species (revision in preparation; Rödel et al. unpubl. data).

DESCRIPTION. — Medium sized frog (SVL 29.3-33.7 mm ♂, 31.2-38.9 mm ♀), with slender, elongated body. Snout pointed, protruding, extending beyond mouth slit. Head longer than broad (HW 26-27% SVL; HL 36-37% SVL). Tympanum distinct (TYD 4-7% SVL). Tibia long (TL 60-65% SVL). Webbing small, leaving several phalanges free; webbing formula I 2 – 2 ½ II 1 ½ – 3 III 2 – 3 IV 3 – 2 V. Back with four pairs of regularly symmetrical and continuous glandular folds, the innermost pair being short, the outermost forming the dorsolateral folds; skin of back finely granular.
COLOURATION. — The back and flanks are brown in colour. A distinct medio-dorsal band, whitish in colour, starting from snout and ending at vent. The posterior parts of the tibia and thigh have dark transverse bars. The ventral side is whitish.
SEXUAL DIMORPHISM. — The male has two vocal sac openings through oblique bilateral slits on each side of the throat, and nuptial pads on first to third finger.
HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — First record. This species is reported herein for the first time for Togo. Its habitat is humid or secondary savannahs and gallery forests, and it has a distribution from Senegal to Côte d’Ivoire (Perret 1997; Lamotte & Ohler 2000; Kanga et al. 2021). Due to anthropogenic activities, natural habitats around Lomé and in the southern region of the country are quickly disappearing. The areas which are still near natural in the southern parts of the country should be investigated for further records of this species.

Disrupting Racism and Colonialism in Early Childhood Education Starting with Positionality
Creators: name: Janis, Ashleigh
Publisher: name: Potentia: Activating Change in Early Childhood Education
Year: 2025

description: Transformation is required in Canadian early childhood education, where colonialism and racism continue to impact young learners who identify as Indigenous, Black, and/or a Person of Colour (Davies et al., 2024). This is often an unacknowledged reality within the field, even amidst numerous studies showcasing racial and colonial harm (Berman et al., 2017; Daniel & Escayg, 2019; MacNevin & Berman, 2017; Stirling-Cameron et al., 2023;Templeton & Cheruvu, 2020). It therefore becomes necessary to explore the conditions in which colonial and racial discourses can be disrupted in early childhood to be more aligned with equitable and decolonizing practices.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Togo • 4 ♂, 20 ♀; Kanté; MNHN-RA-2006.2211, MNHN-RA-2006.2213, MNHN-RA-2006.2214, MNHN-RA-2006.2218, MNHN-RA-1979.6801-6814, MNHN-RA-1979.6916, MNHN-RA-1979.6818-6822.
DESCRIPTION. — Medium sized frog (SVL 31-39 mm ♂, 32- 40 mm ♀), with more or less elongated body. Snout pointed and protruding beyond mouth slit. Head longer than broad (HW 30- 38% SVL; HL 37-48% SVL). Tympanum distinct (TYD 5-8% SVL). Hind leg long (TL 45-62% SVL). Webbing moderate, leaving up to three phalanges free; webbing formula: I 2 – 2 ½ II 1 ½ – 2 ½ III 1 ½ – 3 IV 2 ½ – ½ V. Back with four pairs of glandular folds, including a pair of sacral folds, the outermost forming the dorsolateral folds; skin of the finely granular back; some glandular granules on the flanks.
COLOURATION. — The dorsal colouration is brown with some darker spots, often with a distinct vertebral line. The dorsal parts of the tibia and thigh have dark transverse bars. The rear side of the thighs is marbled with light brown longitudinal stripes. The belly is white.
SEXUAL DIMORPHISM. — The male is distinguished by vocal sacs visible as oblique lateral slits at the corner of the mouth, and nuptial pads on first to third fingers.
HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species is very common in both the South and North of Togo. It is frequent in savannah, dry and open forest areas. It can be observed around ponds and rivers during the rainy season. It was reported by Bourgat (1979) from Lomé, Kovié and Kanté, by Lamotte & Ohler (1997) from Kovié and Kanté and by Segniagbeto et al. (2022) from the ecological zone III. This species is also common in the ecological region between Togo and Ghana, in particular an area that would mirror the ecological zones II and IV of Togo (Rödel & Agyei 2003; Leaché et al. 2006).

DESCRIPTION. — Large frog (SVL 51-60 mm ♂, 65-72 mm ♀), with robust body. Snout pointed, protruding beyond mouth slit. Head longer than broad (HW 30-35% SVL; HL 37-41% SVL). Tympanum distinct (TYD 6-8% SVL). Hind legs very long (TL 62-75% SVL). Webbing moderate; webbing formula: I 0 – 1 ½ II 0 – 2 III ½ – 3 IV 2 – ½ V. Toe tips pointed. Back marked by three pairs of glandular folds: the inner pair starting at the rear of the interorbital space, without contact with the eyelids and extending to the posterior end of the body; the middle pair starting at the posterior edge of the eyelids and ending at the groin; and the outer pair constituting the supra-tympanic folds, extending to the inguinal region; slightly shagreen skin on the back and flanks.
The most conspicuous characters of this species are its extremely long hind limbs
COLOURATION. — The dorsal colouration is grayish or olive-greenish, brownish in some specimens, with irregularly set white spots. The vertebral line is distinct. The dorsal sides of the thighs and legs have brownish transverse bars. The belly is white. In West Africa it is the only Ptychadena which combines a snout with colour paler than the rest of the head and reddish colouration on the posterior part of the eyelids.
SEXUAL DIMORPHISM. — Males have two pairs of infer vocal sac openings, laterally on either side of the throat, and nuptial pads on first to third fingers.
HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species is characteristic of savannah associated with forest areas. Very frequent in ecological zones II, III and IV, it is observed in the regions of Kpélé, Adélé (M’Poti and Koui), Fazao (Kalaré), Tchamba, Alibi, etc. Females lay eggs in the rainy season in small pools or water reservoirs. The species was reported by Bourgat (1979) from Kovié, Lomé and Kanté, and by Segniagbeto et al. (2022) from Tetetou to Nagbeto dam. Rödel (2000) reported its presence in ecological zones II and IV of the country.

description: This study explores the adoption of blockchain technology for financial accounting and reporting in Rwanda's banking industry, focusing on its potential to enhance transparency, security, and operational efficiency. A qualitative research design, incorporating desk reviews and interviews with banking professionals, policymakers, and technology experts, was employed. Statistical analyses revealed significant improvements in transparency (t(15) = 5.82, p < 0.01) and operational efficiency (t(15) = 4.19, p < 0.01) for banks partially adopting blockchain. However, adoption levels remain low, with only 10% of banks fully implementing the technology, primarily due to high initial costs (65%) and insufficient technical expertise (55%). Projections suggest a 50% adoption rate by 2025. The study concludes that targeted training, regulatory reforms, and cost mitigation strategies are essential for scaling blockchain adoption. Recommendations include capacity-building programs, phased implementation, and public-private partnerships to overcome barriers and position Rwanda as a leader in blockchain-driven financial accountability.

DESCRIPTION. — Very large frog (SVL 51.5-80.6 mm ♂, 76- 91 mm ♀), with an elongated and robust body. Snout rounded, ogival. Head longer than broad (HW 32-35% SVL; HL 36-41% SVL). Tympanum round and distinct (TYD 5-7% SVL). Hind legs short (TL 36-42% SVL). Webbing moderate, leaving more than phalanges free; palmar webbing: I 1 – 1 ½ II 1 – 2 III 1 ½ – 2 ½ IV 2 ½ – 1 V. Toe tips pointed. Skin smooth on the back and on the flanks with very fine glandular warts; presence of rounded femoral glands on the ventral surface of the thighs.
COLOURATION. — Dorsal colouration is uniform, brown to grayish with dark spots barely visible on live specimens. The flanks are light brown to grayish with whitish round spots. The ventral side has this pattern but is clearer.
SEXUAL DIMORPHISM. — It is not very marked. Adult females have round femoral glands on the lower side of thighs.
HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — In Togo this species is only known from the Kovié region in ecological zone V, although it is distributed throughout the coastal western and central African subregions (Ohler 1996; Channing & Rödel 2019). The species has been reported in Togo by Bourgat (1979), Kulo (1980, 1981), Ohler & Kazadi (1989), Ohler (1996) and Segniagbeto et al. (2007). The Togolese habitats of this species are currently degraded because of the exploitation of the Zio basin for agriculture, seriously threatening the survival of this species in Togo.

DESCRIPTION. — Small frog (SVL 21.3-29.8 mm ♂, 24.4-37.1 mm ♀), with fairly slender body. Snout pointed, protruding above the mouth slit. Head slightly longer than broad (HW 27-34% SVL; HL 37- 45% SVL). Tympanum distinct (TYD 4-9% SVL). Hind legs long (TL 51-67% SVL). Webbing small, leaving some phalanges free; webbing formula: I 1 – 2 II 1 – 2 ½ III 1 ½ – 3 IV 3 – 1 V. Tip of toes pointed. Back marked by four pairs of glandular folds, the inner most pair starting from the back of the eye, running along the medial dorsal line and ending at the vent, the third pair being the shortest and in a median position with respect to the first two, the fourth, the most outer, being dorsolateral; distinct and very short supratympanic fold; smooth skin on the back and more granular on the flanks.
COLOURATION. — The colouration is olive-gray or brown on the back, with a whitish, orange or green vertebral line. Some darker spots can be seen on the back. The dorsolateral folds are light gray. From the tip of the snout to the eye, the canthus is marked by a dark band. The dorsal parts of the forearm, thigh and tibia are crossed out by darker bands. The belly is white.
SEXUAL DIMORPHISM. — The males are distinguished by a pair of vocal sacs, opening on either side of the throat, parallel to the lower jaw, and nuptial pads on first to third fingers.
HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — Ptychadena pumilio is essentially a savannah species. It is distributed in ecological zones I, II, III and IV. Its frequency in the ecological zone IV becomes more and more important because of the savannisation of the forest zone. It has been reported in Togo by Bourgat (1979), Bourgat et al. (1996) and Segniagbeto et al. (2007, 2022).

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Togo • 7 ♂, 6 ♀; Kanté; MNHN-RA-1978.292, MNHN-RA-1978.293, MNHN-RA-1996.8376-8380, MNHN-RA-1996.8382-8387.
DESCRIPTION. — Medium sized (SVL 29-37 mm ♂, 35-45 mm ♀) frog, with moderately elongated body. Snout pointed and protruding beyond mouth slit. Head longer than broad (HW 32-37% SVL; HL 34-40% SVL). Tympanum round and distinct (TYD 6-8% SVL). Hind legs very long (TL 58-67% SVL). Webbing moderate; webbing formula: I 0 – 2 II 0 – 2 III 1 – 2 IV 1 ½ – 0 V. Back with fine, vaguely defined glandular folds; finely granular skin on back and sides, belly smooth.
COLOURATION. — The dorsal colouration is uniformly reddish or beige in living individuals, getting whitish on preserved specimens. There is a black band from the tip of the snout to the shoulder, passing over the eardrum. Dorsal ridges are present, but very narrow and inconspicuous. The dorsal parts of the thigh and leg is also uniform (reddish).
SEXUAL DIMORPHISM. — The males have a pair of vocal sacs, openings on both sides of the throat with external openings extending to arm insertion, and nuptial pads on first to third fingers.
HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species is characteristic of wooded and humid savannahs. It is common especially in ecological zone II (Fazao and Koui), in the northern part of zone IV (Assoukoko and Yégué), and in the southern part of ecological zone I (Kanté). This species has been reported in Togo by Bourgat (1979) and Segniagbeto et al. (2007, 2022).

description: This paper explores a novel cosmological model that envisions the universe as a conical spacetime fabric consisting of seven layered folds. It aims to provide a unified explanation for dark matter and dark energy, describing them as results of dynamic interactions within the spacetime structure. Dark matter emerges from localized gravitational effects of the folded layers, while dark energy is attributed to the outward expansion of these layers, driving the universe's accelerated expansion. The paper also offers mathematical formulations and testable predictions through cosmic microwave background (CMB) analysis and gravitational lensing observations.
