Traditional medicine may be regarded as the branch of medicine whose philosophy is rooted in the enhancement of body’s own healing power through the use of natural means. It is the oldest form of health care system that has stood the test of time. In South Africa, traditional medicine encapsulates a myriad of health practices, approaches, knowledge, and beliefs. Most people in South Africa prefer using traditional medicine to Western medicine because they believe that traditional medicine is more efficient, accessible, and affordable. This paper focuses on the use of traditional medicine among indigenous rural and urban communities in South Africa. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Uwakwe C. Chukwu | Abayomi Ajayi-Majebi | Sarhan M.

This document discusses traditional medicine in Nigeria. It begins by providing background on traditional medicine, noting that it has been used by humans for health since ancient times using herbal remedies, animal parts, and minerals. It then discusses the traditional medical practices of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria - the Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa/Fulani peoples. Herbal medicine is described as the cornerstone of traditional medicine in Nigeria, with several medicinal plants and their uses explained. Traditional medicine is applied to a wide variety of health conditions in Nigeria, from cardiovascular diseases to respiratory illnesses to infectious diseases. The benefits of traditional medicine include its low cost and cultural importance in Nigeria.
African traditional medicine is a holistic health practice that uses indigenous herbalism combined with some aspects of spirituality. It involves the direct application of herbal remedies, animal parts, or mineral materials for healing purposes. It is still the main source of healthcare delivery in almost all Africa nations in spite of the growth of religious enlightenment, western civilization, and modern medicine. It is often regarded as an alternative or complementary system of medicine. This paper provides an introduction on African traditional medicine. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Tolulope J. Ashaolu | Sarhan M.

The Role of African Traditional Medical Practices in Adolescent Cognitive Ski...ijtsrd
This study set out to investigate the challenges faced by African Traditional Medical Practices and the impact on its sustainability and the development of adolescent cognitive skills through the transfer of knowledge in Oku Sub Division, North West Region of Cameroon. This study employed the ethnographic research design. This qualitative study was done through interviews and observation. The data collected was analysed through thematic analysis. Participants were sampled purposively and the snow ball technique was equally employed to get the traditional doctors, adolescents who are involved in African Traditional Medicine and their parents or guardians. Number of problems were identified as hindering the development of traditional medicine, ranging from secrecy, lack of documentation, no introduction in scholar curriculum, spiritual power not commonly shared or freely accessible, fake practitioners, lack of medicinal garden, inadequate recognition and regulation by the government, non integration in the conventional health system, scarcity of medicine due to the destruction of natural environment, challenge in conserving medicines, inadequacy of treatment facilities, inadequacy of finance or other boosting mechanisms, modernity leading to low consideration for traditional medicine, fear of the wild by adolescents, inadequate collaboration among practitioners, disturbs schooling and some aspects that are sex discriminative. The participants however identified number of assets that could boost the sector, notably early age involvement, social exposure as traditional medicine is practiced in the surroundings or home, the presence of role modelling at home or in the community, duration of training determined by confirmed professionalism, giftedness or predisposed talent which could be through revelation, gods ancestral calls or natural, smaller class sizes, intrinsic motivation and passion, extrinsic motivation alternative to schooling, employment, social status, sustaining parent’s legacy, social community development , willingness by professionals to transfer knowledge and ensuring continuity, existence of professional organizations, complementarity between modern and traditional medicine, collaboration among practitioners, proven efficiency of traditional medicine, both boys and girls can learn, affordability, formal training opportunities, population interest and usage, trust, confidence in traditional medicine and the tradition ethic like selflessness, not for profit or righteousness guiding the practice of traditional medicine.

This document provides an overview of contextual analysis for environmental pollution and disease etiology in traditional African medicine. It discusses how in traditional African belief systems, pollution and diseases can be caused by attacks from evil spirits, witchcraft, disobeying taboos, or upsetting natural balances in the body. The document also contrasts personalistic models of disease causation, which attribute illness to intentional acts, with naturalistic models, which view disease as resulting from impersonal natural forces that disrupt equilibrium in the body.

This document discusses animal poaching, traditional medicine, and efforts to address them. Animal poaching is defined as the illegal taking of wildlife through unauthorized hunting or killing. Traditional medicine involves using plants, animals and minerals for health treatments, with some practices posing sustainability threats by overharvesting endangered species. International organizations are working with countries to strengthen legislation against illegal wildlife trade, increase public education to reduce consumer demand, and ensure the safe and effective use of traditional medicine.
This document discusses the history and use of traditional medicine. It notes that prior to modern science, herbal medications were used to treat illness. Traditional medicine involves health practices, knowledge, and beliefs used to maintain wellness. It has been used for generations by indigenous communities worldwide. Traditional healers may use religion, experience, or family heritage to inform their practices. Herbalism is a primary treatment method in African traditional medicine, and 60-80% of African populations use traditional medicine. In Ethiopia, traditional healers primarily use herbs, spiritual healing, bone-setting, and minor surgery. Up to 80% of Ethiopians rely on traditional remedies as primary healthcare and sometimes combine them with conventional treatments without informing doctors.
The aboriginal culture and medicine: A comparative studyinventionjournals
In the aboriginal culture nothing is written down, it is in most cases passed from generation to generation through singing and dancing. Indigenous people were not easily affected by various illnesses since they used the plants in various ways to quell their illnesses. Indigenous materia medicodo not consist of dietetics alone, it also include many potent herbs. Few indigenous herbs are recognized in the modern pharmacopoeias.There is a list of herbs that were used by indigenous peoples, however within that list there are few herbs, if any that are recognized by modern herbal producers and phytopharmaceutical manufacturers. These herbs are meant as an aid to conventional therapy, and cannot do any harm if they are used correctly. These herbs are aiding in recovery for sick persons. This research does not intend to have the said list replace modern medical science, it suggests that the notion of indigenous plant medicine should be well accepted by western culture of medicine since such herbs have survived time immemorial. Further that the indigenous people in the world survived and still survive on same plants and herbs. The advent of nutraccutical or dietary supplement in the western system of medicine should be encouraged and to be vigorously implemented. The indigenous medicine fundamentally employs the same basic method as the western medicine with additional contributions from the spiritual dimension. The indigenous medicine gives the healing depth and meaning within the indigenous cosmology and experience.

Transference of Ethnobotanical Knowledge and Threat & Conservation Status of Medicinal Plants in Ethiopia: Anthropological and Ethnobotanical Perspectives by Alemayehu Kefalew in Archaeology & Anthropology: Open Access
In Ethiopia, the use of traditional medicine for primary health care is becoming accepted and popular. However, it is under great risks when looked from the point of losing the knowledge transfer and the degradation of the vital medicinal plants. Thus, this review was initiated to briefly look into how is the very common way of transferring indigenous knowledge and to look at the threats & conservation effort of medicinal plants in the country. The review indicates that indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants is transferred from a practitioner father to elder son as he is he is getting older. However, if there is no elder son it would be passed over to any one among the family who is supposed to be loyal to keep the knowledge secret; but if the practitioner does not have families, the knowledge passes to any one among his relatives who is believed to keep the knowledge secret. This review also showed that the main reasons for the degradation of medicinal plants in Ethiopia are environmental degradation, agricultural expansion, deforestation, over harvesting of species and invasive alien species.

The document discusses the clash between African and Western medical values and practices in HIV/AIDS prevention. It notes that effective prevention requires incorporating local cultural beliefs in a respectful way while also questioning one's own culture. Western medicine views the body mechanistically while African traditions see overlapping natural, supernatural and social worlds. The WHO found African healers provide most health services in Africa. UNAIDS advocates collaboration with healers who have community credibility and influence behaviors, making them essential HIV prevention partners. Any collaboration must be mutually respectful, not purely instrumental, and genuinely reciprocal.
Complementary and alternative medicine has become increasingly popular as people seek natural remedies with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs. Over 40% of adults now use complementary and alternative medicine. Various holistic healing techniques are in high demand, such as Ayurveda, chiropractic, homeopathy, naturopathy, and acupuncture. This document introduces an internationally recognized institution that provides alternative medicine courses and conferences to advance knowledge in these fields.

Anjum Nisha from Dayalbagh Educational Institute discussed traditional Indian medicine, focusing on Ayurveda. Ayurveda developed between 2500-500 BC and focuses on views of man and illness. It offers programs to rejuvenate the body through diet and nutrition. Nutraceuticals are emerging as an alternative approach to promote wellness and prevent nutrition-related disorders. Nutraceuticals are made from herbal/botanical raw materials and can help prevent and treat diseases without side effects. There are varying definitions of nutraceuticals internationally, but they generally include functional foods, dietary supplements, and functional beverages.
The use of biomedicine, complementary and alternative medicine, and ethnomedi...home
The health care-seeking behaviour of study participants, although mainly confined within the
ethnomedicine sector, shared much in common with that of people who use global CAM. The appeal of
traditional therapies lay in their religious and moral legitimacy within the South Asian community,
especially to the older generation who were disproportionately influential in the determination of
treatment choices. As a second generation made up of people of Pakistani origin born in the UK reach the
age when they are the influential decision makers in their families, resort to traditional therapies may
decline. People had long experience of navigating plural systems of health care and avoided potential
conflict by maintaining strict separation between different sectors. Health care practitioners need to
approach these issues with sensitivity and to regard traditional healers as potential allies, rather than
competitors or quacks.

Indigenous Cultural Beliefs and Health Seeking Behaviours of the Mbororo Comm...ijtsrd
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of indigenous cultural beliefs on the health seeking behaviours of the Mbororo community in Mezam Division of the Northwest Region of Cameroon. The study employed the survey research design with a mix of both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire while a focus group discussion guide and a semi structured interview guide were used to collect qualitative data from a sample of 539 respondents. A total of 500 questionnaires were administered and 6 focus groups discussions were carried out and as well as interviews granted to 3 healthcare professionals. The simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample of the study. Data were analyzed with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences SPSS version 23.0 for Windows. Descriptive statistics such as simple percentages, mean scores and standard deviation, and inferential statistics such as the Pearson Correlation test were used to analyze quantitative data while qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis with the support of ATLAS.ti software version 8.0. The findings revealed that indigenous cultural beliefs r=0.621, df=98, p 0.05 have a positive correlation with the health seeking behaviours of the Mbororo community. Based on the findings, recommendations were made on the need for the Mbororo community in Mezam Division and beyond to develop more tolerance for conventional or modern medicine and rush to modern hospitals when ill for appropriate screening, diagnosis and treatment of their diseases even as they continue to patronize traditional medicine based on their indigenous cultural beliefs. This would go a long way to improve the health and wellbeing of the Mbororo community in Mezam and beyond. Suggestions for further studies were also made.

Persian Traditional Medicine An Introductionijtsrd
Persian traditional medicine may be regarded as the sum total of all the knowledge and practices of medicine used in Persia from ancient times till today. The medicine gives more attention and importance to the prevention of disease rather than its cure.

Assess Perspective and Knowledge of Healthcare Providers Towards Elehealth in...ijtsrd
Background and Objective Telehealth has become a well known tool for the delivery of health care in Saudi Arabia, and the perspective and knowledge of healthcare providers are influential in the implementation, adoption and advancement of the method. This systematic review was conducted to examine the current literature base regarding telehealth and the related healthcare professional perspective and knowledge in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods This systematic review was conducted by searching 7 databases including, MEDLINE, CINHAL, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Central. Studies on healthcare practitioners telehealth knowledge and perspectives published in English in Saudi Arabia from 2000 to 2023 were included. Boland directed this comprehensive review. The researchers examined each connected study using the AXIS tool, which evaluates cross sectional systematic reviews. Narrative synthesis was used to summarise and convey the data. Results Out of 1840 search results, 10 studies were included. Positive outlook and limited knowledge among providers were seen across trials. Healthcare professionals like telehealth for its ability to improve quality, access, and delivery, save time and money, and be successful. Age, gender, occupation, and work experience also affect health workers knowledge. In Saudi Arabia, healthcare professionals face inadequate expert assistance, patient privacy, internet connection concerns, lack of training courses, lack of telehealth understanding, and high costs while performing telemedicine. Conclusions Healthcare practitioners telehealth perceptions and knowledge were examined in this systematic study. Its collection of concerned experts different personal attitudes and expertise would help enhance telehealths implementation in Saudi Arabia, develop its healthcare delivery alternative, and eliminate frequent problems.

This document discusses animal poaching, traditional medicine, and efforts to address them. Animal poaching is defined as the illegal taking of wildlife through unauthorized hunting or killing. Traditional medicine involves using plants, animals and minerals for health treatments, with some practices posing sustainability threats by overharvesting endangered species. International organizations are working with countries to strengthen legislation against illegal wildlife trade, increase public education to reduce consumer demand, and ensure the safe and effective use of traditional medicine.
This document discusses the history and use of traditional medicine. It notes that prior to modern science, herbal medications were used to treat illness. Traditional medicine involves health practices, knowledge, and beliefs used to maintain wellness. It has been used for generations by indigenous communities worldwide. Traditional healers may use religion, experience, or family heritage to inform their practices. Herbalism is a primary treatment method in African traditional medicine, and 60-80% of African populations use traditional medicine. In Ethiopia, traditional healers primarily use herbs, spiritual healing, bone-setting, and minor surgery. Up to 80% of Ethiopians rely on traditional remedies as primary healthcare and sometimes combine them with conventional treatments without informing doctors.
The aboriginal culture and medicine: A comparative studyinventionjournals
In the aboriginal culture nothing is written down, it is in most cases passed from generation to generation through singing and dancing. Indigenous people were not easily affected by various illnesses since they used the plants in various ways to quell their illnesses. Indigenous materia medicodo not consist of dietetics alone, it also include many potent herbs. Few indigenous herbs are recognized in the modern pharmacopoeias.There is a list of herbs that were used by indigenous peoples, however within that list there are few herbs, if any that are recognized by modern herbal producers and phytopharmaceutical manufacturers. These herbs are meant as an aid to conventional therapy, and cannot do any harm if they are used correctly. These herbs are aiding in recovery for sick persons. This research does not intend to have the said list replace modern medical science, it suggests that the notion of indigenous plant medicine should be well accepted by western culture of medicine since such herbs have survived time immemorial. Further that the indigenous people in the world survived and still survive on same plants and herbs. The advent of nutraccutical or dietary supplement in the western system of medicine should be encouraged and to be vigorously implemented. The indigenous medicine fundamentally employs the same basic method as the western medicine with additional contributions from the spiritual dimension. The indigenous medicine gives the healing depth and meaning within the indigenous cosmology and experience.

Transference of Ethnobotanical Knowledge and Threat & Conservation Status of Medicinal Plants in Ethiopia: Anthropological and Ethnobotanical Perspectives by Alemayehu Kefalew in Archaeology & Anthropology: Open Access
In Ethiopia, the use of traditional medicine for primary health care is becoming accepted and popular. However, it is under great risks when looked from the point of losing the knowledge transfer and the degradation of the vital medicinal plants. Thus, this review was initiated to briefly look into how is the very common way of transferring indigenous knowledge and to look at the threats & conservation effort of medicinal plants in the country. The review indicates that indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants is transferred from a practitioner father to elder son as he is he is getting older. However, if there is no elder son it would be passed over to any one among the family who is supposed to be loyal to keep the knowledge secret; but if the practitioner does not have families, the knowledge passes to any one among his relatives who is believed to keep the knowledge secret. This review also showed that the main reasons for the degradation of medicinal plants in Ethiopia are environmental degradation, agricultural expansion, deforestation, over harvesting of species and invasive alien species.

The document discusses the clash between African and Western medical values and practices in HIV/AIDS prevention. It notes that effective prevention requires incorporating local cultural beliefs in a respectful way while also questioning one's own culture. Western medicine views the body mechanistically while African traditions see overlapping natural, supernatural and social worlds. The WHO found African healers provide most health services in Africa. UNAIDS advocates collaboration with healers who have community credibility and influence behaviors, making them essential HIV prevention partners. Any collaboration must be mutually respectful, not purely instrumental, and genuinely reciprocal.
Complementary and alternative medicine has become increasingly popular as people seek natural remedies with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs. Over 40% of adults now use complementary and alternative medicine. Various holistic healing techniques are in high demand, such as Ayurveda, chiropractic, homeopathy, naturopathy, and acupuncture. This document introduces an internationally recognized institution that provides alternative medicine courses and conferences to advance knowledge in these fields.

Anjum Nisha from Dayalbagh Educational Institute discussed traditional Indian medicine, focusing on Ayurveda. Ayurveda developed between 2500-500 BC and focuses on views of man and illness. It offers programs to rejuvenate the body through diet and nutrition. Nutraceuticals are emerging as an alternative approach to promote wellness and prevent nutrition-related disorders. Nutraceuticals are made from herbal/botanical raw materials and can help prevent and treat diseases without side effects. There are varying definitions of nutraceuticals internationally, but they generally include functional foods, dietary supplements, and functional beverages.
The use of biomedicine, complementary and alternative medicine, and ethnomedi...home
The health care-seeking behaviour of study participants, although mainly confined within the
ethnomedicine sector, shared much in common with that of people who use global CAM. The appeal of
traditional therapies lay in their religious and moral legitimacy within the South Asian community,
especially to the older generation who were disproportionately influential in the determination of
treatment choices. As a second generation made up of people of Pakistani origin born in the UK reach the
age when they are the influential decision makers in their families, resort to traditional therapies may
decline. People had long experience of navigating plural systems of health care and avoided potential
conflict by maintaining strict separation between different sectors. Health care practitioners need to
approach these issues with sensitivity and to regard traditional healers as potential allies, rather than
competitors or quacks.

Indigenous Cultural Beliefs and Health Seeking Behaviours of the Mbororo Comm...ijtsrd
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of indigenous cultural beliefs on the health seeking behaviours of the Mbororo community in Mezam Division of the Northwest Region of Cameroon. The study employed the survey research design with a mix of both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire while a focus group discussion guide and a semi structured interview guide were used to collect qualitative data from a sample of 539 respondents. A total of 500 questionnaires were administered and 6 focus groups discussions were carried out and as well as interviews granted to 3 healthcare professionals. The simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample of the study. Data were analyzed with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences SPSS version 23.0 for Windows. Descriptive statistics such as simple percentages, mean scores and standard deviation, and inferential statistics such as the Pearson Correlation test were used to analyze quantitative data while qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis with the support of ATLAS.ti software version 8.0. The findings revealed that indigenous cultural beliefs r=0.621, df=98, p 0.05 have a positive correlation with the health seeking behaviours of the Mbororo community. Based on the findings, recommendations were made on the need for the Mbororo community in Mezam Division and beyond to develop more tolerance for conventional or modern medicine and rush to modern hospitals when ill for appropriate screening, diagnosis and treatment of their diseases even as they continue to patronize traditional medicine based on their indigenous cultural beliefs. This would go a long way to improve the health and wellbeing of the Mbororo community in Mezam and beyond. Suggestions for further studies were also made.

Persian Traditional Medicine An Introductionijtsrd
Persian traditional medicine may be regarded as the sum total of all the knowledge and practices of medicine used in Persia from ancient times till today. The medicine gives more attention and importance to the prevention of disease rather than its cure. Many patients in developing and developed countries have turned to traditional therapies for treating their illnesses. This is due to tradition and cost modern medicines are prohibitively expensive in those nations. This paper provides an introduction to Persian traditional medicine in Iran. Matthew N. O.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management Prospects and...ijtsrd
The diversity of indigenous knowledge systems in India is vast and can vary significantly between different communities and regions. Preserving and respecting these knowledge systems is crucial for maintaining cultural heritage, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering cross cultural understanding. In this paper, an overview of the prospects and challenges associated with incorporating Indian indigenous knowledge into management is explored. It is found that IIKS helps in management in many areas like sustainable development, tourism, food security, natural resource management, cultural preservation and innovation, etc. However, IIKS integration with management faces some challenges in the form of a lack of documentation, cultural sensitivity, language barriers legal framework, etc. Savita Lathwal "Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management: Prospects and Challenges" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-8 | Issue-1 , February 2024, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd63500.pdf Paper Url: https://www.ijtsrd.com/management/accounting-and-finance/63500/integration-of-indian-indigenous-knowledge-system-in-management-prospects-and-challenges/savita-lathwal

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.

ungrounded in scientific method in academia. People
in South Africa, with an estimated 72% of the Black
African population in South Africa, rely on this form
of medicine. They have been using herbal plants for
centuries to treat illnesses from colds to intestinal
worms. Today, South Africa is home to more than
200,000 traditional healers who provide healthcare
for more than 27 million people. They use plant,
animal, and mineral substances based on social,
cultural, and religious practices. As South Africa
experienced its first Covid-19 wave, people have
turned traditional medicines. In South Africa, there is
currently a dual healthcare system: one based on
traditional medicine and another based on Western
medical practice. In modern times, colonialism,
urbanization, and apartheid have blurred the
distinction between the two systems. However,
traditional and mainstream medicine have long been
at odds.
TRADITIONAL MEDICINE IN SOUTH
AFRICA
Every region of the world has had one form of
traditional medicine at some stage in its history.
Before the introduction of Western medicine,
traditional medicine used to be the dominant medical
system available to millions of people in South Africa
in both rural and urban communities. Under apartheid
and colonial South Africa, the practice of TM was
deemed unscientific and illegal. It was considered to
be uncivilized, suspect, scientifically unfounded,
backward, and superstitious. During colonialism,
many colonists accused traditional healers of
practicing witchcraft, which led to the prohibition of
the practice across various regions in Africa. This
attitude was manifested in South Africa during the
apartheid regime. For example, the South African
Medical Association outlawed and outrightly banned
traditional medical system in South Africa in 1953
[4].
In South Africa, traditional medicine encapsulates
various health practices, approaches, knowledge, and
beliefs. These include plants, animals, spiritual
therapies, manual techniques. Traditional healers in
South Africa are practitioners of ATM who fulfill
different social and political roles in the nation Since
the country consists of several heterogeneous
communities, there are many types of traditional
healers, including the diviner (sangoma) and the
herbalist (inyanga). They provide divination, healing
physical, emotional and spiritual illnesses. They are
officially and legally recognized in South Africa.
Sangomas do not to advertise their business but rely
on their reputation, word of mouth, and trust in their
ancestors to bring them the right patients. They are
usually a tight-knit community and aren't always
friendly to strangers who may not understand the
Zulu language. The experienced invanga/sangomas
are consulted for healing, and through them it is
believed that ancestors from the spirit world can give
instruction on how to heal illness. The healers
supplement the advice from an ancestral spirit with
their own knowledge, training, and experience. They
may need to burn incense or sacrifice animals to
appease the ancestors. Both men and women can be
trained to become traditional healers. Training to be a
sangoma or an inyanga requires hard work and takes
months or years [5]. Figure 2 typically shows a
patient visiting a sangoma [6]. One can seek help
from the traditional healer Dr. Bukab by calling
+2780181547, South Africa [7]. It should be noted
that some Christians pray at the Church in the day and
visit the sangomas at night [8].
The traditional healthcare system offers a cheap,
individualized, and culturally appropriate alternative
to the costly Western medicine. In this system,
ancestral worship is intertwined with people’s health.
In South Africa’s traditional medicine system,
dosages are based on individual handfuls and plants
may be included because in a dream ancestors told a
traditional healer (an inyanga) to add them.
ATM practitioners are extensively used in South
Africa and are an indispensable component of the
national healthcare system. South Africa consists of a
wide diversity of tribes which is reflected in the way
medicine is practiced. It has a rich tropical and
temperate flora, harboring approximately 24,000
species. In South Africa, almost 60% of the
population consults traditional healers, in preference
to modern medical doctors. This is large reliance on
the traditional medicine due to a number of factors:
accessibility to the plants, affordability, conveniently
located within the community, and extensive local
knowledge among the local communities. The South
African medicinal plant trade is a thriving at
grassroots level. Medicinal plants are commonly sold
at informal street markets or indoor shops. A large
portion of South African medicinal plants have not
been scientifically validated [9]. South Africa has
significant progress in institutionalizing African
traditional medicine and integrating traditional and
complementary medicines.
HERBAL MEDICINE
There is currently a renewed interest in African-plant-
based medicinal herbs for the prevention and
treatment of various pathologies. Traditional herbal
remedies are commonly used as alternative medicine
by a large number of people worldwide. The use of
traditional herbal medicine has a very long historical

background that corresponds to the Stone Age. There
is a widespread use of herbal medicines by Africans
living with HIV/AIDS. Medicinal plant use in South
African traditional medicine occurs on a sliding scale
from physical to spiritual uses. Indigenous people of
Southern Africa use herbs to cleanse the body and
treat a variety of maladies. Many herbal remedies are
closely guarded secrets, inextricably linked with
spiritual life.
South Africa’s vegetation boasts an abundance of
herbs which can be used for healing of all kinds. The
modern trend in traditional medicines reflects an
increase in the sale of herbal mixtures rather than
those prepared from single plants. Some of the plant
parts and derivatives used in traditional medicines are
listed as follows [10]:
Bitter Aloe: This is known as umhlaba in Zulu
and Sotho. It is used as a traditional medicine.
The leaves or roots are boiled in water and used
for the treatment of eczema, stress and eye
infection.
Acacia Senegal: This is also known as gum
Arabic. It is native to semidesert and drier regions
of sub-Saharan Africa, but widespread from
Southern to Northern Africa.
Aloe ferox: This is native to South Africa and
Lesotho and is considered to be the most common
Aloe species in South Africa. It is commonly used
for its laxative effect and as a topical application
to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.
Asteracea: This is commonly known as
wormwood or desert wormwood (known in
Arabic as shih, and as armoise blanche in
French). It is a greyish strongly aromatic
perennial dwarf shrub native to the Northern
Africa, Arabian Peninsula, and Western Asia.
Aspalathus linearis: This is an endemic South
African spice. It is cultivated to produce the well-
known herbal tea, also commonly known as
rooibos. It has been used as a refreshment drink
and as a healthy tea beverage.
Centella asiatica: This is a medicinal plant that
has been used since prehistoric times. It is used in
many healing cultures, including Ayurvedic
medicine, Chinese traditional medicine, Kampo
(Japanese traditional), etc.
Catharanthus roseus: This is a well-known
medicinal plant that has its root from the African
continent. The interest in this species arises from
its therapeutic role, as it is the source of the
anticancer alkaloids vincristine.
Momordica charantia: This is also known as
bitter melon. It is a tropical vegetable grown
throughout Africa. The leaf may be made into a
tea and juice. It is common folklore remedy for
diabetes.
Pelargonium sidoides: This is native to the
coastal regions of South Africa. It is an important
traditional medicine with a rich ethnobotanical
history.
Datura stramonium: This is a wild-growing
plant in the family Solanaceae. It is indigenous to
the Americas and has been introduced into many
tropical and subtropical regions.
Vachellia karroo: This belongs to the Acacia
genus of the family Leguminosae. The plant has
been used as traditional medicine by many local
inhabitants of Southern Africa and is a common
woody species in South Africa.
Some of the medicinal plants of South Africa are
displayed in Figure 3 [11]. Figure 4 some bottles
filled with traditional medicines on display [12].
Some of the traditional medicines are available from
traders in South Africa's largest traditional medicine
market, the Faraday Street market in Johannesburg.
APPLICATIONS OF TRADITIONAL
MEDICINE
Traditional medicine has been used by humankind
worldwide for the treatment of various diseases since
long before the advent of western medicine. TM has
been used in South Africa to cure several diseases
including the following typical examples.
Diarrhoea: This is one of the most common
cause of illness and a leading cause of child death
in the world. It remains a major concern in South
Africa resulting in high mortality rates when left
untreated. It is one of the leading causes of
morbidity and mortality in South African
children. There is an ongoing research to finding
novel and useful anti-diarrhoeal therapeutic
agents and products in herbal medicines that are
widely used by indigenous people to treat
diarrhoea and other related diseases [9].
COVID-19: Since the global surge of the
COVID-19 pandemic in December 2019,
governments and private efforts have been made
to develop a vaccine that will curb the spread of
the virus. In South Africa, COVID-19 has
resulted in additional pressure to already strained
health systems. There has been high interest in the
use of traditional medicines for COVID-19 since
the pandemic started. The involvement of
traditional health practitioners has proven to be a

vital force in the management of previous
pandemics such as HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria.
The World Health Organization and the African
Union Commission for Social Affairs have issued
statements welcoming traditional medicines for
COVID-19 [13].
HIV / AIDS: This is spread globally, affecting
Africa more significantly than other regions of the
world. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has greatly
impacted South Africa’s healthcare system,
hampering its ability to scale-up the provision of
antiretroviral therapy. One way to provide
comprehensive care and prevention in sub-
Saharan African countries has been through
collaboration with traditional healers. The use of
medicinal plants is the most common traditional
medicine in general practice throughout Africa.
When a crisis like HIV/AIDS strikes, the need to
seek the help of the indigenous healers becomes
clear. The AIDS crisis requires a consorted effort
of all involved. The policies and programs put
forth by the government must respect and
acknowledge the full practice of indigenous
healing if they want collaboration to be effective
[14-16].
Cancer: The ever rising cancer burden and
prevalence of cancer is placing enormous pressure
on health infrastructure worldwide. Cancer
dominates the sub-Saharan African burden of
disease. It has a significant health impact on the
South African population. Natural plant-based
products have for long have been used
traditionally for treating cancer. Approximately
7% – 48% of cancer diagnosed patients take
herbal medicines post diagnosis [17].
Other applications of TM in South Africa includes
dental plaque, tuberculosis (TB), depression,
epilepsy, and mental diseases
BENEFITS
Herbal medicine is increasingly gaining recognition
and attention in South Africa, where herbal remedies
are sold for stimulating, maintaining, and promoting
health apart from treating diseases. Thus, the
traditional healers contribute a lot to the battle against
diseases and maintenance of health and well-being.
Other benefits of TM in South Africa include:
Alternative Treatment: Since modern medicine
cannot cure all diseases, traditional medicine can
intervene in the areas where modern medicine is
weak or does not exist. It provides an alternative
for the majority of Africans who cannot afford
modern medical care. It provides solutions to
some ailments (such as malaria, epilepsy,
madness, and/or HIV/AIDS) that lack effective
modern medical treatment. This have made the
practice to be lucrative. Many South African
prefer TM due to lack of trust in western
medicine. Some are so skeptical to try western
medicine.
Affordability: Use of traditional medicine is
often attributed to its relative ease of access and
affordability when compared Western medicine.
Affordability may not be the major factor in
individual’s decision to use TM.
Popularity: Traditional medicines are getting
significant attention in global healthcare
community. According to the World Health
Organization (WHO), herbal medicine has
become a popular form of healthcare as natural
medicinal products are gaining increasing
popularity and are used worldwide as
complementary alternative therapies.
Holistic Treatment: Traditional medicine in
South Africa is a holistic discipline involving the
use of indigenous herbalism combined with
aspects of African spirituality. This holistic
understanding of ill‐health among some ethnic
groups in South Africa makes traditional
medicine prevalent and resilient amidst its
encounter with western medicine that relegates it
as demonic, non‐scientific, crude, and unethical.
Sangomas take a holistic look at social factors
that could cause illness and as well as the physical
symptoms.
CHALLENGES
Although TM has not been officially recognized in
most countries, it remains a much neglected part of
global healthcare due to many challenges it faces. In
spite of the abundance of raw materials and inherent
benefits of traditional herbal medicine, the
development of traditional herbal still poses a number
of challenges in South Africa. Many herbal mixtures
on the market are of low quality and unreliable
efficacy and their preparations are poorly
documented. The benefits of most of the herbal
mixtures have not been confirmed by clinical data.
Many urban and rural dwellers rely on TM because of
its accessibility but often fall victim to quacks or con-
artists. Other challenges facing TM in South Africa
include the following [18-20]:
Prejudicial viewpoints: There has been limiting
and polarized beliefs that affected the
development of traditional medicine in South
Africa. The rational use of traditional medicine is
not well-defined, and often relies on ritual,
mysticism, and spiritual and moral principles

which are difficult to explain. This common
misperception has its origins partlyin the colonial
constructions and attitudes towards indigenous
medicine. These beliefs have been carried into the
academic research field without a true and
thorough assessment of the scientific principles in
operation in traditional medicine. The challenge
for scientists is to engage traditional medicine
practices with an open mind.
Toxicity: Although herbal medicines are
beneficial and popular among South Africans,
they are not completely harmless. The
inappropriate use of herbs has resulted in
numerous fatalities, sometimes involving
children. The unregulated use of herbal medicines
may put the health of their users at risk of
toxicity. The users appear to be ignorant of their
potential toxicities. Toxicity is not about the
amount, but about the type of drug or chemical
involved.
Acute Poisoning: Poisoning incidents are one of
the leading causes of morbidity and
hospitalization in many nations. The incidents
may be accidental or deliberate. Accidental
poisoning may result from error in judgment,
carelessness, negligence, or an unexpected
situation in the home, or at workplace as in the
case of intoxication due to treatment. In deliberate
poisoning, the victim is intoxicated on purpose.
Plants containing alkaloids such as aconitine,
strychnine and other toxic substances have been
used in criminal poisoning. Although traditional
medicines caused fewer cases of acute poisoning
incidents, they contributed considerably to fatal
outcomes. Acute poisoning due to plants and
traditional medicines is reported as major causes
of hospital admissions in some African countries
including Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe
[21].
Safety: The act that herbs are of natural origin
does not guaranty their safety. Herbal medicines
are perceived to be safe with no adverse effects
by most of the users. Safety of herbal medicines is
erroneously attributed to their natural sources.
This misconception is limited by scientific
evidence from studies done to evaluate the safety
and effectiveness of traditional medicine products
and practices.
Lack of Scientific Validity: The lack of
scientific validity has definitely been an
impediment. There is no peer-reviewed scientific
evidence that herbal plants are an effective
treatment for some diseases. There has been no
examination of how these plants are used in
traditional healing, in what dose, and in
conjunction with what other plants. Of course,
there is a scientific basis to many African
traditional medicine practices.
Secrecy: Secrecy still surrounds the use of the
South African traditional medications.
Prescriptions and practices of traditional medicine
tend to be very secretive and localized. There are
some reasons for secrecy. Chabalala, for example,
would not reveal which herbs, aside from
Artemisia afra and cannabis, that the government
is investigating to treat COVID-19.
Regulation: The prescription and use of
traditional medicine in South Africa is currently
not regulated, with the result that there is always
the danger of misadministration, especially of
toxic plants.
Lack of Standardization: The standardized
procedure is at odds with the opaque and complex
belief system that underpins African traditional
medicines. Standardization is the process of
developing technical standards based on the
consensus of different parties involved such as
users, companies, standards organizations, and
governments. The Africa Center for Disease
Control and Prevention and the African Union
Commission for Social Affairs endorsed protocols
for traditional medicine clinical trials and
developed a standard protocol for a multi-center,
double-blind clinical trial to evaluate the safety
and efficacy of herbal medicine.
CONCLUSION
Traditional medicine refers to the healing practices of
the body and mind. Traditional healers of the
Traditional Healers Organization (THO) of South
Africa treat patients with a mix of cannabis and other
herbs. For the economy of South Africa to realize the
full benefits of TM, the government must genuinely
pursue the objective of regulation, rebranding, and
standardization of TM products as well as promote
cooperation between traditional and modern medicine
practitioners. To achieve the integration of traditional
medicine into the conventional health systems, the
central government needs to show political will by
setting up regulatory strategies and develop official
policies that provide for the scientific evaluation and
certification of traditional medicines.
South Africa has taken the lead in medical plants by
setting up a National Reference Centre for ATM in
Cape Town. The country joins the rest of Africa in
celebrating 31 August 2018 as the African Traditional
Medicine Day. More information about traditional
medicine in South Africa can be found in the books in
