Abstract:
The objective of the study was to compare selected physical and chemical composition of shea butter processed from nut sourced from inorganic and organic fields. The treatments were O (shea butter processed from nut picked from organic fields) and N (shea butter processed from nuts picked from inorganic fields). These treatments were arranged in a Complete Randomized Design and were replicated four times in the laboratory for studies of free fatty acids (FFA), pH, peroxide value, insoluble impurities, unsaponifiable matter, and moisture content. The study revealed that organic shea butter had lower free fatty acids (FFA), lower moisture content, lower pH, less unsaponifiable matter, less insoluble impurities and lower peroxide value as compared to inorganic shea butter shea butter. The lower FFA value of organic shea butter indicates that it can be used for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry and for direct consumption. Hence higher chances that organic shea butter and attract premium prices in both local and international markets. The study also revealed that there was a positive relationship between; unsaponifiable matter and moisture content. Insoluble impurities had a very strong correlation with unsaponifiable matter and moisture content. A very strong positive correlation was observed between peroxide value and unsaponifiable matter, moisture content, and insoluble impurities. For good quality butter, nuts should be sourced from organic fields.

Abstract:
Rahama Wright and Shea Yeleen is the story of a young female social entrepreneur, Rahama Wright, who started a nonprofit venture, Shea Yeleen, to train women in West Africa with a more lucrative livelihood by manufacturing shea butter to earn higher wages. The case describes the shea butter industry in Africa, the role of women in the industry, and Wright's background in nonprofit and government as her rationale for starting a nonprofit venture. The case outlines the different organizational forms that nascent entrepreneurs could start when creating a venture and ends with a decision point if Wright should continue running a nonprofit or if she should convert to a for-profit social venture. The case offers students an opportunity to understand the differences between nonprofits and for-profit ventures from organizational, strategic, and personal perspectives. Given Wright's goals and the dynamics of the shea butter industry, students learn that running a nonprofit is not sustainable and find that she did convert to a for-profit social venture in order to accomplish her mission of empowering women in the Sahel region of Africa.

Abstract:
The study assessed the value chain and economic viability of shea butter production in Kwara State, Nigeria. A well-structured questionnaire was used to gather information from 247 participants in the shea butter value chain industry within the State. Descriptive statistics, gross margin analysis, and linear regression were used to analyze the data gathered. The study found out that the shea nut processors and marketers were women (92%), while men (54,7%) were mostly shea nuts collectors. The average age of collectors was 43 and that of the processors and marketers were 46. Findings also revealed that the shea butter value chain is made up of collectors, assemblers, processors and marketers who perform various functions in getting the butter bye product from the shea nuts to the consumers. According to the profitability analysis that was carried out, the study discovers that the gathering, processing, and sale of shea nuts in the study area were profitable. The gross margin for 100kg of shea nut collected was ₦7,094 (1USD≈450₦) while that of the processors/marketers for 20kg of shea butter produced was ₦16,200. The major constraint facing shea nuts collectors was the felling of shea trees (82.7%) while that of processors/marketers was the lack of modern processing equipment. It is therefore necessary for government to provide credit facilities and modern processing equipment’s for rural women involved in shea butter production to enable them produce in large quantities.

Abstract:
Forest species are very abundant in African ecosystems and contribute to the economy of households, through their use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and agri-food. Among these species, Vitellaria paradoxa (sapotaceae) is a tree that can reach about fifteen meters, which grows exclusively in wooded savannas in Africa. Its area of ​​distribution is Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Ethiopia. The purpose of this study was to highlight the forms of valuation of shea butter in the food industry and in cosmetics. To do this, we carried out a literature review. The results revealed that shea butter is a fat extracted from the kernels of the shea fruit. It is obtained by shelling, drying and crushing the nuts. Crushed seeds and then mixed with water. Once immersed in water, the impurities will come out naturally from the butter and thus settle in the bottom of the container. Then, the butter that has remained on the surface is collected, and kneaded, to be cooked for a long time at a very low temperature. The water evaporates, leaving only room for the oil, which will be manually filtered through muslin and then conditioned. Once at room temperature, the butter (melted into oil) regains its solid and melting texture. This butter, for its properties, is on considerable importance in food industry and cosmetics. Thus, shea butter is used in cooking (edible oils), in pastry products, confectionery and in chocolate industry as a substitute for cocoa butter. In cosmetics, it is best known for its moisturizing and softening properties of the skin. It is also used as an excipient in cosmetic formulations such as ointments, shampoos, toilet soaps and in creams.

Abstract:
Indigenous knowledge practices are locally based systems of knowledge, uniquely associated with a group of people in a cultural setting. These practices, which have evolved over time generally, denote a broad and collective consciousness of the people, including their nature, habitats and interpersonal relationships. Indeed, this knowledge concept sustains the lives of the people. They depend on it to navigate as well as assail their everyday experiences, including in particular those that serve as serious threats to their livelihood. The processes involved in Shea butter extraction exemplify a shared body of indigenous knowledge system noted with the people of Northern Ghana. Unfortunately, many people are oblivious of the existence of such Shea butter industry. Consequently, there is no way they can have knowledge of the by-products that emerge from the industry let alone appreciate their uses. This study aimed to address the prevailing ignorance and especially fill the extant knowledge gap concerning the by products of local Shea butter extraction and their indigenous uses. An ethnographic method was adopted whereby 5 women, engaged in the production of Shea-butter, were purposively sampled. Data emerged from 2 primary sources, namely participatory observation and interview. Cross-cutting issues were delineated from the captured data. These were transcribed, documented and content analysed along the cross-cutting issues. The findings revealed the processes involved in Shea butter extraction as parboiling, drying, grating, frying, pounding, milling and stirring. Besides, the by-products of the extraction process were identified as ‘kabala’, used for plastering walls and floor making, and then ‘kaamuni’, employed in the generation of heat, lighting and fire making. Scientific concepts suggested to account for the manner the by-products are used included cohesion, adhesion, friction and bonding. It was concluded that further research needed to be conducted to explain and confirm these suggested scientific concepts. Keywords: Indigenous knowledge, shea butter, shea nuts.

Abstract:
The shea industry is a self-contained industry, and it is argued that with critical investment in processing machinery and skill training of the primary actors, it can sustainably enhance the livelihoods of poor rural households. Following an investment in semi-mechanised shea butter processing projects in two communities in North-Western Ghana, this study examined the contribution of the projects to rural women’s income in the communities. Data were collected from 156 shea butter producers, using questionnaires, two key informant interviews and two focus group discussions with the executives of the producer associations. The study found that although farming is the main occupation of the majority of women, shea butter processing is the leading sector because it contributes relatively higher to women’s income. Intriguingly, the income from shea-based livelihood is higher than the minimum annual wage in Ghana. This implies that the shea sector has the potential of contributing to household income, just as the formal sector. In order to enhance the role of the sector towards livelihoods, continuous support to the primary actors (women), and the ability to link them to external market remain critical.

Abstract:
<p>The majority of rural population in Ghana are faced with poverty, especially in northern Ghana which records the highest poverty levels. Despite the potential of the shea industry to contribute to alleviating poverty among rural women, little attention has been given to the industry. This paper examined the shea industry as a source of livelihood among rural women as well as the challenges women faced in the industry in Wa Municipality. Cross-sectional research design was employed and data were collected using questionnaires. The results of the study indicate that 93.7% of the women participated in the shea value chain as a main source of livelihood strategy; as much as 69.8% of the respondents in the shea industry produce for both subsistence and commercial purposes; majority of the respondents (96%) were engaged in fresh nut collection as well as home processing of nuts, and 86.5% were engaged in shea butter processing; the average annual income per person was GH¢846.85; however, the average annual income for butter processors was much higher than that of nut processors; and the major challenges confronting women in the shea industry includes: limited access to investment capital; cutting down of live shea trees; lack of modern processing equipment and training; and poor pricing of shea products in the local market. The paper calls on government to formulate a clear cut policy for the industry, particularly on marketing of the shea products to make the industry lucrative for women while at the same time increasing the export base of shea products.</p>

Abstract:
Nanomedicine has been a booming industry with the development of nanovectors to encapsulate water-soluble or amphiphilic molecules for drug delivery. As the new therapeutic agents synthesized are increasingly lipophilic, the development of new nanoparticulate vectors allowing their transport and targeting is now a major challenge. These particles are lipid nanoparticles, a few hundred nanometers in diameter, stabilized by a layer of surfactants composed of castor oil and stealth agents. Solid lipid nanoparticles based on shea butter, stabilized by cremophor® ELP, encapsulating griseofulvin, were formulated by the temperature phase inversion method. The shea butter nanoparticles thus obtained were the subject of characterization relating to: determination of the morphology, size, polydispersity index, pH and zeta potential. The results confirm the stability of our preparations. The anti-inflammatory activity of shea butter being known, the tests were carried out on mice. The inflammation was induced by a solution of croton oil acetone. There is a very big improvement in anti-inflammatory activity. This is due to better penetration of the preparation through the different layers of the skin. Griseofulvin release studies have been carried out on our various preparations. Systems designed as reservoirs of active ingredients and intended for a priori controlled release obey kinetics of the order of one-half (½) corresponding to a proportionality between the quantity released and the square root of time. Shea butter in nanoparticulate forms has thus enabled us to considerably prolong the release of griseofulvin.

Abstract:
Among the most revolutionary technologies are Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics, Machine Learning (ML), cybersecurity, blockchain technology, and cloud computing. The research was focused on how to create a Big Data Analytics Architecture Framework to increase production capability and global trade for Sub-Saharan Africa's oilseeds and textile industries (SSA). Legumes, shea butter, groundnuts, and soybeans are significant crops in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) because they offer a range of advantages in terms of the economy, society, and the environment. The infrastructure, e-commerce, and disruptive technologies in the oilseeds and textile industries, as well as global e-commerce, all demand large investments. The pragmatic worldview served as the foundation for the Mixed Methods Research technique. This study employed a review of the literature, document analysis, and focus groups. For the oilseeds and textile sectors in SSA, a Big Data analytics architectural framework was created. It supports E-commerce and is based on the Hadoop platform, which offers the analytical tools and computing power needed to handle such massive data volumes. The low rate of return on investments made in breeding, seed production, processing, and marketing limits the competitiveness of the oil crop or legume seed markets.

Abstract:
EPA was only five weeks old on January 7, 1971, when the Court of Appeals ordered the agency to cancel all DDT registrations. The situation was fluid, to say the least. EPA did not know how the cancellation process was to be carried out, since USDA before them had never executed a cancellation procedure. There was no precedent to follow, and the parties did not agree on the rules for cancellation. The cancellation process for DDT clearly would be adversarial, with the pesticide industry already objecting. Represented by Bill Butler, EDF insisted on judicial rules of evidence with qualification of expert witnesses, testimony to be relevant to the topics at issue, and full rights of cross-examination for all parties. That was a bottom line for EDF, and EPA lawyers agreed. If a witness was qualified as expert on topic A and not on topic B, he or she could testify on A but not on B. We had learned from experience that we did not want industry representatives and salesmen or lobbyists making opinion statements and then walking away, leaving a muddy record that would be little more than a popular vote open to varied interpretations. Industry wanted that. EDF wanted competent scientists to build an accurate record, and after months of haggling, EDF and EPA ultimately prevailed. There would be judicial rules of evidence. It was a triumph for Bill Butler and EDF. Little did we know then that this procedure would influence pesticide regulation by EPA far into the future. Judicial rules of evidence proved critically important in the litigation and eventual banning of aldrin, dieldrin, chlordane, heptachlor, and mirex, as we will describe in Chapter 12. Qualified scientists and experts testified in those proceedings, and some previously vocal advocates never appeared. Since EPA had been ordered by the court to consider cancellation of all registrations of DDT, it was the DDT proponents who were bringing the appeal. They were known as the Group Petitioners. It had become the burden of industry to prove DDT safe, whereas before it had been our burden to prove hazard.

Abstract:
Live theatrical performance is an ever-evolving art form in which visionary theater makers are incorporating evolving technologies into performances to connect and engage modern audiences. Recent developments in theatrical motion control systems are enabling vibrant and adaptive control through dynamic automation. Traditional theatrical motion control systems use a set path motion profile to produce predictable movements of scenery and people through space and time. New dynamic control systems utilize an external generated set point parameter to specify the desired motion. This flexibility enables a DJ to control the movement of flown digital chandeliers above a dance floor with their regular beat control or for Alice to control her flown decent as she tumbles down the rabbit hole by changing the position of her arms. Putting the control of the equipment into the hands of the performers is a significant leap in evolution stage automation control.To accomplish the motion tracking of performers on stage, the research team developed a unique set-up of Microsoft Kinect sensors to monitor the stage environment. The skeletal models of up to four performers were captured and transmitted via an ethernet network to the video game engine. The main benefit of this tracking method is that it allowed for both traditionally costumed performers and regularly dressed audience members to be captured by the system. Most motion capture systems in entertainment require the use of custom body suits which can disenchant and distract audiences. Our system maintains the traditional relationship between costume and character while collecting the necessary interactivity data.The natively 3D nature of the video game environment is optimally suited to handle the interaction between performer and the digital environment. Using the skeletal tracking models from the sensor system, the video game engine allowed the performers to dynamically interactive with the stage environment. They could open doors, swat away birds, and flap their wings to fly away. The added benefit of the system was that it allowed members of youth young audiences to be called onto stage to further the narrative with their actions. The resulting system enables a new performance methodology with exciting new options for theatrical storytelling, educational training, and interactive entertainment. This evolution of control adds risks beyond those present in deterministic systems.Dynamic control of entertainment automation systems requires strong conformance to functional safety principles to mitigate the risks to affected personal and environments. Functional Safety is the mitigation of unacceptable injury risks through the implementation of one or more automatic protection functions (often called safety functions). In traditional theatre environments, safety functions have historically been limited to “Emergency Stop” functions which halt all motion when an operator presses “the big red button”. As systems become more complex and utilize dynamic control, theatrical automation control systems need to utilize a functional safety evaluation process to better protect persons and the environment for systematic and random failures in the systems. Industry experts develop best practice procedures to address safety concerns which are written into documents called standards.The presenter conducts research at the intersection of entertainment and engineering, has actively participated in the development of numerous American national standards with the Technical Standards Program of ESTA (Entertainment Services and Technology Association), and is a dual certified functional safety engineer (TÜV Rheinland and Underwriters Laboratories). This presentation will go through the functional safety considerations required to implement dynamic control per national and international standards using examples from realized performance projects led by the presenter.
