In Africa the study of witchcraft is hampered by methodological problems which are the result of the use of Eurocentric materialistic belittling paradigm. To avoid this pitfall, this paper offers a new empirical methodological approach which relies on: (1) The scientificity of African indigenous epistemology and the superiority of its bases compared to Eurocentric view; this eschews any connotation of superstition as far as African values are concerned. (2) The distinct existence of the divine, human and demonic initiatory lore in African culture; this distinction corners witchcraft to the demonic field. (3) The possibility of studying witchcraft empirically as the reverse of the practice of the divine mystery. For the implementation of this methodology in relation to African cultures, this paper recommends Kôngo religion as the best starting paradigm, because it is a scientific episteme and it enables the scholar to seize the different trends of African traditional religion in a unifying theory.

The objectives of the study are to find out the evaluation of dengue indoor vector surveillance done by the teams of Shahdara, Lahore and awareness of health hazards of dengue fever. It was a cross sectional descriptive study. The study was done in UC 3 & 4 of Shahdara, Lahore. There were total of 100 households selected through simple random sampling. The interviewers were assessed using pre designed questionnaire containing questions about dengue team performance and awareness of the household members regarding dengue. Our study suggested a good level of performance of dengue team (83%) as answered by the people. Regarding awareness in general public revealed only little adequate knowledge (8%) but awareness of protective measures was high (71%).Awareness about mosquito as a vector was 73% in our study. Awareness level regarding use of any measure of protection was high (71%) in our study. The respondents were asked about their knowledge about Dengue. Many of them stated that they got knowledge from electronic and print media. The teams were lacking in knowledge and training. These members were not having identity cards or proper uniform. In fact there is acute shortage of the workers in the field. The indoor teams spend less time inside the house and they seem to be in a hurry. Proper checking of all the breeding places will certainly insure the increase in efficacy of the surveillance

This research was done to formulate an optimized Chronotherapeutic Timed Release Tablets (ChrTRTs) containing theophylline, a potent bronchodilator used in the management of asthma in the inner core as a Chronotherapeutic drug delivery system. Theophylline core tablets (TCT) containing Irvingia gabonesis gum (2.5 %w/w) as binder and maize starch (15%w/w) as disintegrant were prepared at a compression pressure of 30 units on the arbitrary load scale. ChrTRTs containing the inner core tablet with Anarcadium occidentale gum, Irvingia gabonesis gum, and Sodium Starch glycolate at varying concentrations (0, 0.5, 1 and 2 % w/w) to achieve a predetermined lag time for chronotherapy were prepared at a compression pressure of 35 units on the arbitrary load scale. The parameters determined were tablet hardness, friability, drug content, disintegration test and in-vitro dissolution studies. The release profile showed that all the ChrTRTs tablets exhibited a distinct lag time before burst release of the theophylline. Lag time was dependent on the amount of starch glycolate in the outer shell. The lag time of all formulations was between 0 to 6 h and it decreased with an increase in the amount of starch glycolate in the outer layer. Formulation ChrTRT2 was considered as the optimized formulation since it yielded a predetermined lag time of 4 h before burst release of theophylline from the ChrTRTs. The indication is that this design can be exploited and utilized to achieve chronotherapeutic drug delivery systems of theophylline for the management of chronic illnesses such as asthma
