This document summarizes a research paper on the Atam masquerade tradition of the Bakor people of Nigeria.

It examines masquerading as a form of artistic communication and how masks symbolize cultural beliefs and ideas.

THE SYNERGY BETWEEN TRADITIONAL “ULI” BODY PAINTING SYMBOLS AND DIGITAL ART.ikennaaghanya
For centuries, Africa has been home to a multitude of societies with different cultural landscapes, social structures, and strongly defined aesthetic ideals. In the absence of the written word, Africa’s legacy consists of a vast mélange of complex symbols, patterns, and signs. These aesthetically abstract configurations and unique characters replaced linguistic symbols commonly used for recording the history of remarkable events, the deeds of great kings, celebrations, births and deaths, and extraordinary occurrences. Mary Nooter Robert in Inscribing Identity: The Body, suggests “symbols that replaced letters or characters represent the sounds of a language, a logographic system in which a single character represents a word” (Robert 2007:57). Therefore, Africa has contributed to the world a rich tradition of typography; from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, to rock inscriptions found throughout the Sahara Desert, as well as rock paintings and drawings in the Tassili Plateau of the Atlas Mountains in the Fezzan). In fact, the rich diversity of esoteric symbols throughout Africa has inspired both craftsmen and artists for centuries. They have refashioned the antiquated and unique into contemporary forms, which now appear etched on pottery, cast on bronze and precious metals, carved on wood, woven into textiles, stitched on cloth, or inscribed on the human body.
The document discusses various traditional body modification practices among different African tribes and cultures, including face and body painting. It provides examples of several tribes in Africa and the symbolic meanings and purposes of their traditional face and body painting practices, such as using paint to signify love, purity, clan identity, and important life events or ceremonies. It also briefly mentions other body modification practices outside of Africa, such as neck rings, foot binding, and corsetry.
The document provides a summary of a group's trip to Turkey from May 2-7. Some key events and places visited include:

- Fishery has historically been an important source of food security and protein intake globally, including in Ethiopia. Ethiopia has an estimated annual exploitable fish potential of 51,481 tons.
- However, this potential can only meet 79% of current demand and is projected to meet just 55% and 44% of demand in 2010 and 2015 respectively, based on population growth.
- Ethiopia contains many lakes and rivers that are suitable for fish production, and various fish species exist within these water bodies. The environment is also suitable for fishery. However, the sector currently faces various constraints that limit its potential.

THEATRE IN SRI LANKA
IN Sri Lanka, the traditional and the modern, the old and the
~ew in theatre can be seen in striking conjunction. Based in
Colombo, the capital city, there is a burgeoning, cosmopolitan,
modern theatre which presents original works and translations
(of Beckett, Brecht, Gogol, Gorky, et. al.) in a wide range of forms
.and styles. In the rural areas, age-old ritualistic theatres are per-
formed to promote the welfare of the community and to heal
the sick. In between are various folk theatres the entertain-
me~ts springing from a predominantly agricultural way of life.
And, as in all modernizing societies, many of the older forms are
waning away while the new theatre is flowering.
THE RITUAl. THEATRES
The ritual theatres of Sri Lanka are among the oldest extant
-performances with an unbroken history. Legend traces their
beginnings to pre-Buddhistic times. However remote their ori-
gins, it is quite clear that the ritual theatres, like all living art
forms, have been changing over the years, discarding some ele-
•
ments and absorbing others. As practised today, ritual theatres
are generally night-long performances addressed to the numerous
deities and demons of the folk religion.
A vast pantheon of gods a~d demons inhabits the still vital
world of Sinhala folk belief. Depending on time and circums-
tances, and their particular spheres of influence, these powerful
beings can impinge in various ways on the affairs of men. For
-example, gods can assure a plentiful harvest and bring succour
to people in times of distress. The demons, on the other hand,
are evil in their effects : they possess people, making them ilL

The primary purpoSe of the ritual theatres is to propitiate the
gods and the demons, so that they will confer their blessings or
heal the afflicted. Where the demons are concerned, there is an
-exorcistic 'aim also. A basic assumption in these theatres is that

these beings have the right to expect certain oblations and offer-

African cultures have a long history dating back to ancient civilizations like Egypt and Great Zimbabwe. Today, Africa has over 2,000 distinct ethnic groups who retain diverse cultural traditions, though Islam and Christianity are the most widely practiced religions.

The Royal Niger Company was founded in 1879 and was instrumental in spreading British influence in West Africa, especially along the Niger River. It consolidated British trading interests under one company and aggressively expanded through treaties and force. In 1882 it became the National African Company and was granted a royal charter in 1886, giving it authority to administer the Niger territories. The company established a government and trade monopoly in the region, but faced criticism over its oppressive practices from local groups, other European traders, and the British government. It struggled financially yet maintained control of the Niger territories for over a decade through the determination of its leaders.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. The Ekpe Masquerade is one of the most iconic spectacles in Efik society, the subject of numerous
Tourist Board photo campaigns and post-card’s. The splash of red, black and yellow raffia and fabric
of the Ekpe in full cry has come to represent in the minds of many non-indigenes, the characteristic
face of Efik culture – alongside the equally ubiquitous Ekombi dancers. In reality the Ekpe Msquerade
represents significantly more than a mere Tourist spectacle, but in fact embodies the very socio-
cultural and indigenous spiritual soul of the Efik people.
The Ekpe Masquerade is one of the symbols of the ancient Ekpe Society of the Cross River Basin and
to understand the sacred importance of the Ekpe Masquerade, it is important to have a background
understanding of the Ekpe Society, which embodies the over-arching philosophy of the Ekpe
Masquerade.
Origins:
The Ekpe Society is often described as an ancient Secret Society in the Cross River Basin, with
paramount responsibility for the administration and organisation of the society. Its singular
responsibility being Governance, with functions ranging from establishment/formulation of societal
mores, regulation and enforcement of those societal mores, through the administration and Judicial
means. The Ekpe society and its members were the leaders and directing minds of the community.
The Ekpe or Mgbe Society is wide-spread throughout the Cross River basin, covering several ethnic
peoples from the Efik’s, the Qua-Ejegham and Efut people, amongst others through to the variants in
Igbo-speaking area’s (known as the Okonko).
The origins of the society are steeped in mystery with differing accounts, further deepening its myth
and secrecy. Whilst the Qua claim to have introduced the Mgbe (Ekpe) from Cameroon ( from where
3. where they are said to have migrated), whilst there are two accounts of the Efik origins of Ekpe- some
stating that it was formed between 1720 and 1729, another stating that the Efik’s introduced the Ekpe
during their original migration to Calabar from the west of the Cross River. Another account by Efik
oral Historians, being that the Efik acquired the Ekpe from an Efut people who occupied a site at
Isangele (in present day Cross River State). External origins deepen the myth, with an account being
that the Ekpe was brought from the Congo by Asibong Ekondo, who gave it to King Eyo Ema II as a gift.
Structure of the Ekpe:
The Ekpe Society was organised into various Lodges, which consisted literally of a building in the centre
of the community, at which the Lodge’s activities were centred, from meetings, to Judicial activities.
Each Lodge is headed by the highest title-holder Eyamba.
One of the key symbols of the Ekpe Society is Nsibidi. Nsibidi Is more commonly known as the ancient
form of Script, formulated by the Ekpe Society. Whilst Nsibidi writing is of deep importance, however
Nsibidi as a concept goes beyond just the Script, which is in fact an operational symbol of the over-
arching philosophy of Nsibidi, which is primarily as a communication platform of the Ekpe Society. The
script being one method of communication. Nsibidi being the preserve of the society, is of a secret
nature, known only to members of the Ekpe Society, membership of which is open only to men.
The language of Nsibidi is learnt by initiates, in tandem with the other secrets of the Society. The
fundamental requirement of new initiates being – modesty and respect for the Institution. Two key
instructions being, for initiates to “keep your eyes open and your mouth shut” as well the adage “the
more you look, the less you see” the latter requiring the initiate to explore in depth the tenets of which
he is being instructed. The Ukara cloth worn by members, is an important medium of expression of
the Nsibidi language and script form.
The Ekpe Society consisted of several titular levels, of which the highest levels are occupied by older
members. These levels being:
4. Original titles: Obong Mkpe Obong Mboko -isung Mboko Obong Mboko-Mboko -isung Mboko-Mboko
Obong Mbakara -isung Mbakara Obong Ebonko -isung Ebonko
Secondary titles: Obong Nyamkpe -isung Nyamkpe Obong Oku akama -isung Oku akama Obong
Okpoho -isung Okpoho Obong Nkanda -isung Nkanda
Tertiary titles: Obong Murua Obong Murua-Okpoho Obong Isu At the very top- Obong Eyamba is
head of Efik Ekpe shrine.
The Ekpe Masquerade:
Alongside Nsibidi, the Ekpe Masquerade is one of the most important sdacred symbols of the Ekpe
Society, with its functions being generically ceremonial and representative of the spirits of the
ancestors. It is important to note that in Ekpe tenets, deceased elders of the society are still regarded
as participating in the rites and activities of the society and hold the highest titular respect in the
society. The society itself seeing a continuum between both the living and departed spirits of the
ancestors.
The Ekpe Masqquerade is thus an important manifestation of the spirit of the ancestor’s, which is not
taken lightly by the Society and its members. An Ekpe Masquerade is the creation and preserve of
each local Lodge and is manned by a member, whose identity cannot and must never be revealed to
non-initiates of the society. In particular, in classic Ekpe ritual, women and non-initiates were not
permitted to encounter an Ekpe Masquerade.
The Ekpe Masquerade physically consists of an underlying all-fitting net material tight-fitting body-net
costume made from fibrous material sourced from a Tree bark, though Nylon is more commonly used
today. On top of this is a raffia mane worn around the chest, Also raffia attachments are worn around
the wrist and ankles. Whilst Nsibidi patterns are worked expressed in the mane and wrist and ankle
attachments. On the head of the Masquerade is a raffia attachment. All these completed by a wing-
like hat attached to the back of the neck. The Masquerade would also hold in its hands, the sacred
“Oboti” leaves which are said to have the spiritual power to cleanse ills and are also used as a means
of paying homage to the Chiefs of the Ekpe Society.
The deep ritual symbolism of the Ekpe Masquerade is further signified by homage which is paid during
appearances of the Ekpe to the father of the Ekpe Masquerade “Nkom Ekom Nkom”. The Ekpe in its
movements communicates with secret signs of Nsibidi, which could consist of expression of respect
to the Obong, or to other Chiefs of the Ekpe Society present.
Ekpe Masquerade in the present
In modern times, a significant number of the rules surrounding the display and practice of the Ekpe
Masquerade have been modified in line with the dynamic nature of history. Significantly Ekpe
Masquerades now proceed publicly and can now be seen by non-initiates and women, unlike in the
past.
Another significant development being the participation of the Ekpe at public ceremonial events-
“Nyoro”. An Nyoro by strict definition was a ceremony pursuant to the funeral rites of a deceased
Eyamba or Lodge Head of the Ekpe. In recent times, the Obong of Calabar has hosted an Nyoro to
mark the anniversary of his coronation, in addition, the State Government has organised an Nyoro,
through the Botanical Society since 2005. These events consist of competitions between the various
Ekpe troupes. The most important Nyoro clearly is the Obong Nyoro, which is an annual event hosted
which witnesses fierce competition amongst the Ekpe.
5. In conclusion it can be said that inspite of the seeming openness and Touristic appeal of the Ekpe
Masquerade, it still remains a deeply significant and revered symbol of one of the most important
and respected Institutions of the Efik people.
