Abstract:
Actinomycosis is an unusual infection caused by Actinomyces species, which are anaerobic, filamentous gram-positive bacilli. It is responsible for chronic infections in the human body, particularly in the form of facial and abdominal sepsis with suppuration. Actinomycosis of respiratory tract involves larynx, bronchi as well as pulmonary parenchyma and the clinical presentation differs depending on the site of involvement. Due to non-specific nature of clinical and radiological presentations, the diagnosis of pulmonary actinomycosis can often be challenging. Here, we report a case of a female who presented with chronic cough and progressive shortness of breath for four months duration. The computer tomography of chest revealed an intrabronchial lesion mimicking lung malignancy. Subsequent fiberoptic bronchoscopy and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of endobronchial foreign body associated with actinomycosis. The patient was commenced on intravenous penicillin following which complete resolution of symptoms and radiological clearance was observed. This case highlights the importance of considering uncommon infections like actinomycosis when patients present with non-resolving respiratory symptoms

Abstract:
Van Buchem disease (VBD) is a rare autosomal recessive sclerosing skeletal dysplasia. The most characteristic feature is endosteal hyperostosis of bones, predominantly the skull, mandible, clavicle, ribs and long bones. Consequently, patients may present with various neurological complications such as cranial neuropathies, entrapment neuropathies and raised intracranial pressure. Here we report a 23-year-old male with bronchial asthma, who presented to the out- patient respiratory clinic with symptoms of allergic rhinitis, insidious onset frontal headache and neck pain. Later, the patient developed dizziness, blurred vision, hoarseness of voice and hearing impairment. The most striking features in examination were macrocephaly, frontal bossing, protruding chin and early optic disc edema with multiple cranial nerve palsies. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of brain revealed diffuse calvarial thickening with bilateral optic canal stenosis and optic nerve atrophy along with features of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and evidence of early tonsillar herniation. Results of biochemical analysis including serum calcium and phosphate, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and alkaline phosphatase levels were within normal range. Van Buchem disease was diagnosed based on the phenotypic and radiological features. The patient underwent urgent bilateral sub temporal craniotomy for decompression and subsequently showed marked symptomatic improvement.

Abstract:
The paper assessed the effects of government performance on tax morale of individuals in Nigeria. The study adopted data from the Afrobarometer survey of Nigerians adults (n = 2,400). The data was collected through interview survey of individuals in Nigeria. Desk review of several journal articles were made to give basis for the study. Data were analysed using structural equation modelling by drawing inspiration from the theory of planned behaviour and motivation theory. Generally, the study found that government performance, measured along performance on economic activities, improvement in infrastructure facilities and improvement in social issues, exerted significant influence on tax morale of individual taxpayers in Nigeria. Notably, it was found that, citizens had negative perception of any effort of government in controlling crime alone, until food is available and people are living in reasonable condition. The results from the study gave significant factors that stakeholders and future researchers should focus on as determinants of tax morale as well as critical areas of government activities that individuals give priorities to when assessing government performance. The results also gave direction that several factors significantly interact and modify each other and, resultantly, influence tax morale of individuals in Nigeria. The paper recommended that stakeholders in taxation in Nigeria should be paying more attention to tax morale and the performance of governments to ensure measures are put in place to induce tax morale in addition to the deterrence measures.

6) On the Dangers of Inert Ideas in Education: Reflections on Alfred North Whitehead’s The Aims of Education and Other Essays

Abstract:
In this paper we concur with Alfred North Whitehead that education with inert ideas is harmful and useless to the student and the society at large. Inert ideas constitute dead knowledge, that is, knowledge that does not relate to one’s day-to-day experiences nor to knowledge gained from other disciplines. Knowledge acquired by students should have an impact on their lived existential situatedness and it should have a link or correlation with knowledge gained from other disciplines. How do we avoid inert ideas in education? Whitehead admonishes us to keep knowledge alive. This, to him, is the central problem of education. We argue in this paper that in an age dominated by fake news, alternative facts and deep fakes, critical thinking and self-examination are no longer options in the process of education. Thus, the traditional banking system of education is outmoded and should be replaced by the cultivation of critical thinking skills in the child. To do this we must take seriously Whitehead’s two commandments of education; the rhythm of education which implies giving the child knowledge appropriate to their age; and the trilogy of freedom-discipline-freedom.

Abstract:
The paper attempts to identify the challenges and prospects of monetary policy in achieving inclusive and sustainable development in the post of December 2018 revolution (Freedom, Peace, Justice) era, and it focuses on certain pillars that could make our policy stance more relevant to achieve its goals towards inclusive development, especially the ultimate objective of monetary policy in curbing inflation and achieving price stability, to be instead more pro-employment to ensure inclusive and sustainable development in Sudan.
The paper uses the descriptive analytical approach and seeks to explore the potential options for the Central Bank of Sudan (CBOS) to rethink along with more flexibility in balancing inclusive development objectives – without undermining price stability. It also identified and discussed major challenges to the conduct and implementation of monetary policy which undermine the effectiveness of monetary policy to include the presence of huge informal economy, monetary expansion, reflecting fiscal deficit monetization and exchange rate devaluation, limited fiscal resources, poor budget priorities, external sector imbalances, weak banking sector regulatory framework and governance, and inclusion of Sudan in the State of Sponsoring Terrorism List (SSTL).
The Paper recommends clear path for homegrown macroeconomic reform which will address the main sources of macroeconomic imbalances and boost inclusive development. To make monetary policy more effective and responsive to inclusive and sustainable development in Sudan, the paper, also recommends the transitional government must play a central role in coordination between CBOS and Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MOFEP) to ensure greater harmonization of monetary and fiscal policy to achieve the desired impact on the real productive sector.

Abstract:
Result from a case study of Larkana indicate that micro-credit has a marginal impact on household earnings, when combined with microcredit, is significant, and often better than if credit has been given without these services. Current studies are examining the role of the microfinance bank for poverty alleviation. The findings show that when credit is provided with capacity-building facilities, the positive impact of microcredit will increase. This research includes two preliminary findings:

• Implementing capacity-enhancing policies and micro-credit, rising micro-finance performance and,
• Given this positive connection, the strategy must be followed by a pool of ability that allows deprived borrowers to prosper economically and socially to optimize microcredit performance.

In this context, providing low credit customers with opportunity to access loans and incentives would improve social productivity and return on micro loans. From a sustainable development point of view, if simultaneous capital investment also exists, then the effectiveness of microcredits in fostering development would be increased. This research aims to quantify some of the microfinance spillover impacts. How microfinance affects the inequalities in the village and in the village revenue is precisely estimated. The goal of this study is to develop the influence of microfinance on borrowers’ financial benefits and explore a few of the possible overall impact of microfinance equilibrium. In the Analysis, I see the positive relation between microfinance and rises in village revenues as well as disparities between village incomes. This finding is anti-intuitive as it is expected that income inequality will decrease and not increase if incomes grow in the village. This expectation means, however, that the return of microcredit to income for all borrowers will be the same. For example, if some borrowers are richer than others when they receive the loan, microcredit may have differential income impacts. When this is not the case, the income inequality will increase, while overall incomes still grow, when access to micro-credit makes wealthy debtors richer. A greater achievement in education has been found to be negatively related to village income inequality. Politics show that policymakers should look at policies to encourage human capital investment, in order to address the polarizing impact of micro-credits, from this study results.

The damaging factors for the growth of this industry include the low capital base, technological accessibility, credit policy, consistent business services , quality human resources, a low degree of market sensitivity and infrastructure deficiencies. In the current globalisation process, the SME sectors are a growth engine for economic growth. The purpose of this paper is to explore different issues in relation to the economic situation in Pakistan. Since small and medium-sized enterprises constitute more than 95% of the industrial units, about 40% of the industrial output and about 36% of total exportations. More than 18 million people work in different SME units, and in the country there are approximately 3,2 million registered SME units. The paper deals with the development and economic efficiency of SMEs in the world age. It defines contributions to GDP growth for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Abstract:
This work examines Pakistan’s energy problem and Solar is an alternative problem. Statistics from various secondary sources , i.e. annual reports, have been obtained. The SPSS-21, which has been studied, is highly reliant on coal energy for energy production in Pakistan. Such sources do not satisfy the country’s actual energy needs due to the immense population and recent industrialisation growth. These are meanwhile detrimental to the climate and are economically inadequate for remote electrification. The purpose of this report is to highlight the best solar power electricity option in Pakistan, therefore, there is a need to find alternative energy sources. For a year, we collected wind and solar traffic information in four major Pakistani cities. The findings show that solar power is Pakistan’s biggest choice in terms of size, life, business and maintenance costs for sustainable power. Semi-structured interviews with industry experts identified significant obstacles across the entire solar energy spectrum. Lastly, important policies for institutions and governments have been proposed to resolve these barriers and to use full solar energy in the region.

Abstract:
This research set out to examine how the process for developing a training needs analysis tool could influence organisational change. In addition consideration was given to how the training needs analysis process can help get people on board with organisational change and be a change intervention in itself. The organisation that is the subject of this research is a large, complex health system which is in transition from a traditional bureaucratic, hierarchy with a command and control management style to a more participative, people centred approach. The organisation is operating in an environment of almost constant change with major national restructuring of the health services expected imminently. A processual, organisation development, action research based approach to the development of a training needs analysis process was taken in the study so that the changes desired in the organisation could be modelled in the first instance and secondly, in order to learn and understand more about what works and does not in order to continuously develop and progress the change agenda. In order to do this a parallel structure was established through which to progress the process which was tracked in an action research process. In addition, a series of interviews were conducted with top and senior management in order to ascertain their views about the process, its necessity, roles in relation to it, its potential benefits and how to introduce the process across the organisation. The research is reported in the format of an action research approach case study. The term learning and development needs analysis was adopted during the course of the study rather than training needs analysis. This was part of a strategy to broaden the focus of training and development in the organisation beyond the traditional training course. Key words: Training needs analysis, organisational change, organisational development, public service.

Abstract:
High purity amorphous silica has several industrial applications. The conventional methods of its production are chemical and energy intensive, and they also generate carbon dioxide. This study was undertaken to investigate the production of this vital material from rice husk using a low cost and green process route.
Rice husk was pretreated using sodium dodecyl sulphate solution, citric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The pretreated rice husk was dried in an oven dryer at 110^OC. The dried pretreated husk was combusted at  process setting conditions which were designed using Design Expert software. The optimum process conditions were determined using response surface methodology (RSM). The amorphous silica produced under these optimum conditions were analysed. The composition, phase and surface area of the silica were investigated using X-ray diffraction, X-ray florescence, scanning electron microscopy and BET surface analyser. A high purity silica (99.97%) was obtained. The silica has a specific surface area of 229 m²g^-1 with pronounced porosity. The silica will find useful application in photovoltaic industry for the manufacture of solar cells

Abstract:
When one writes a technical paper be it a conference paper, a thesis, a dissertation, among others, he is required to write an abstract. The researcher observed that writers use different tenses of verbs in the same part of the abstract. It is posited that a writer must have commonly used a tense in most parts of the abstract. The researcher classified the sentences contained in the abstract according to the purpose of the writer after which he identified the tenses of the verbs. The results reveal that the simple present tense, the simple past tense; the simple future tense; the present perfect tense; and the past perfect tense are used. The simple past tense is the most commonly used particularly in the explanation and narration of the research methodology. It is used in disclosing research findings and in reporting information about issues and ideas encountered before writing the actual research. The simple present comes next which is used in the introduction that may include situational analysis, a general idea, and the like. The writers also used this in the conclusion and recommendation. The present perfect tense was rarely used. The researcher concludes that different tenses of verbs were used in combination though the sentences indicated the same purpose.
