Alabi, David O. 한국외국어대학교 아프리카연구소 2017 Asian Journal of African Studies Vol.- No.41
Sacred places and religion are the twin entities that cannot be easily separated from each other. Religion is a stubborn and persistent element; it is also a phenomenon that cuts across race, tribes and gender. Many women have played different roles in religion from antiquity till modern age, which have not been given due recognition. They are discriminated against especially at sacred places. Therefore, this paper is premised on the very important need of according and appreciating women in religions, using some major religions such as Judaism, Christianity and African Traditional religion as test cases. We have attempted to examine the cultural biases and traditional beliefs that were transferred to religion, which served as the basis of discriminations against women at sacred places. Using traditionhistorical approaches, it was discovered that the gender role of women in religion was difficult for men to swallow hook, line and sinker as a result of certain cultural taboos and beliefs. In conclusion, this study recommends that women are of the same stock with men and have served as priestesses and played other crucial religious roles in religions. Therefore, they should not be discriminated against at sacred places.

( Quadri Alabi ),( Rufus Akomolafe ),( Olaoluwa Olukiran ),( Modinat Adefisayo ),( Aliyat Nafiu ),( Joseph Omole ) 대한간학회 2018 춘·추계 학술대회 (KASL) Vol.2018 No.1
Aims: The present study was carried out to evaluate the protec tive effects of kolaviron (KV), a biflavonoid from Garcinia kola seeds on diclofenac-induced hepatic injury in Wistar rats. Methods: Twenty-five male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups of 5 animals each. Group 1 (control) received propylene glycol at 2 ml/kg orally for 28 days. Group 2 received 10 mg/kg of diclofenac (DCLF) (i.m) for 7 days. Groups 3 and 4 received KV orally at 100 and 200 mg/kg respectively for 28 days and subsequently treated with DCLF for 7 days. Group 5 received Livolin Forte (a reference drug) orally at 5.2 mg/kg for 28 days and DCLF for 7 days. At the end of the study, all the rats were sacrificed under ketamine anesthetic, 24 hours after treatment. Pro-inflammatory cytokines level, markers of liver function, oxi dative stress and histopathological alterations were evaluated. Results: DCLF caused significant increase in the plasma activi ties of liver enzymes, including bilirubin level, pro-inflammatory cytokine and NF-kB when compared with the control (P<0.05). It also caused significant alteration in antioxidant status of the rats. It caused distortion of the liver histoarchitecture of the rats. However, kolaviron significantly prevented or reduced (P<0.05) the alterations caused by DCLF in the plasma and liver of the rats pre-treated with KV before DCLF administration. Conclusions: KV exhibited a protective properties against DCLF-induced hepatotoxicity, due to its antioxidant and anti-in flammatory effects. It appears to be as effective as Livolin Forte in attenuating DCLF-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

Assistive technologies are necessary for ensuring independent living and equal participation in an information-based society for people living with disabilities (PLWD). This study investigated the assistive technology preference of students with visual disabilities, and the approach academic libraries should adopt in procuring assistive technologies. The study adopted a quantitative research method, with a survey as the research design. The study was conducted among visually disabled students in four public universities in Nigeria. Using the total enumeration method, an online questionnaire was used to obtain information from 151 students who voluntarily agreed to partake in the survey. The study found that access to electronic resources, scanning/conversion of print resources to electronic formats and access to information on the Web were among the technology-based services provided to visually disabled students. COBRA, ZoomText, Supernova and Dragon Naturally Speaking are the most preferred assistive technologies (software). At the same time, handheld scanners (x̅ =4.40) and braille keyboards (x̅ =4.60) are the most preferred assistive technologies in the hardware category by visually challenged students. The study further revealed that the library management should consult with students living with a visual disability before procuring assistive technology. Findings from this study thus provide further evidence of the need for librarians to fulfil their moral and legal obligation in advocating the provision of assistive technologies. Library administrators and university stakeholders should expedite actions on meeting the assistive technology needs of people living with visual disabilities. These actions should transcend mere policy formulation on the provision of assistive technologies to restructuring their services and spaces to accommodate assistive technologies as information service delivery tools for people with visual disabilities.

Religious Creativity and the Patronage of Sacred Places: A Case Study of Yoruba Religion
David Oladunjoye Alabi 한국외국어대학교 아프리카연구소 2022 Asian Journal of African Studies Vol.- No.52
The emergence and history of Christianity were painted with obvious characteristics of spiritual creativity, religious inculturation, adaptation and reformation. One positive contribution of religious creativity in the history of African Christianity since there has been shift in the center of gravity of the Christian religious atmosphere from Eurocentric to Afro-centric platform is the creation and patronage of sacred places in Africa. It has been a religious tool for both expansion of Christianity and conversion of non-Christian adherents into African Christianity. This has brought cultural conversion, inculturation, adoption and religious adaptation to African Christianity. Sacred places and their patronage are as old as the religion itself in human history. The ancient people had the notion that their gods dwelt in super sensible and unusual places around them and worshipped them from these places. Unique ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, lagoons, seas, grounds, sites, precincts, territories, caves, stones, trees, rocks, hills and mountains were considered as abodes of gods. Africans also considered this in their cultural and religious practices before the advent of Christianity in their land. Hence, African converts to Christianity had the carryover of this religious conception and it has influenced and altered the trends of creativity in African Christianity. Therefore, this paper addressed the value of religious creativity, especially from the patronage of sacred places in African Christianity. The negative effects that emerged due to the proliferation and patronage of the sacred places were highlighted. In conclusion, it recommended that the force of creativity in African Christianity should be biblically focused, culturally sensitive and the limits determined in order to avoid religious syncretism in African Christianity.

In the present study, tropical starches from three botanical sources, namely millet starch obtained from the grains of Pennistum glaucum (L) R Br (family Poaceae), sorghum starch from the grains of Sorghum bicolor L. Moench (family Gramineae) and cocoyam starch from the tubers of Colocasia esculenta (L) Schott (family Araceae), have been modified and evaluated as directly compressible excipients in tramadol tablet formulations. The starches were extracted from the relevant plant parts and modified by pregelatinization followed freeze drying and used as excipients in tramadol tablets and the tablet properties compared with those made with the natural forms of the starches. The results indicate that starches from the three botanical sources vary in their properties and pregelatinization led to the modification of the physicochemical and material properties of the starches. The pregelatinized starches exhibited better flowability and compressibility than the natural starches. Tramadol tablets prepared with freeze-dried pregelatinized starches generally exhibited higher crushing strength but lower friability than those prepared with the natural starches. The rankings of the crushing strength and the disintegration and dissolution times was cocoyam > millet > sorghum starches, with tramadol tablets containing freeze-dried pregelatinized starches exhibiting significantly (p < 0.01) higher disintegration and dissolution times than tablets made with the natural forms of starches. The freeze-dried pregelatinized starches were suitable as directly compressible excipients and provided controlled release of tramadol indicating their potential application in formulations where slower drug release is desired.

A scenario known as conflict in face recognition may arise as a result of some disparity-related issues (such as expression, distortion, occlusion and others) leading to a compromise of someone's identity or contradiction of the intended message. However, addressing this requires the determination and application of appropriate procedures among the various conflict theories both in terms of concepts as well as resolution strategies. Theories such as Marxist, Game theory (Prisoner's dilemma, Penny matching, Chicken problem), Lanchester theory and Information theory were analyzed in relation to facial images conflict and these were made possible by trying to provide answers to selected questions as far as resolving facial conflict is concerned. It has been observed that the scenarios presented in the Marxist theory agree with the form of resolution expected in the analysis of conflict and its related issues as they relate to face recognition. The study observed that the issue of conflict in facial images can better be analyzed using the concept introduced by the Marxist theory in relation to the Information theory. This is as a result of its resolution strategy which tends to seek a form of balance as result as opposed to the win or lose case scenarios applied in other concepts. This was also consolidated by making reference to the main mechanisms and result scenario applicable in Information theory.
