Abstract:

Nigeria and The Gambia have been involved in asymmetrical relations since 1965 given the disparity in the material capabilities between them. This asymmetry came to the fore in the role played by Nigeria in resolving the 2016 political impasse in The Gambia when former President Yahya Jammeh refused to accept the results of the elections and quit power, having lost to the opposition. Adopting Krystof Kozák’s four behavioural tendencies of asymmetrically stronger states in the theory of asymmetry in international relations, this article notes that Nigeria changed its behaviour towards The Gambia from asymmetric benevolence (B2) to military threat (B4) to oust Jammeh from power. It, however, adds that beyond deploying its asymmetric advantage in resolving the Gambian impasse, Nigeria cannot be of serious assistance to The Gambia in building democratic structures and institutions due to its democratic challenges on B2 terms. The article concludes that Nigeria’s action in the Gambian crisis was an end in itself, that is, it was aimed at forestalling threats to regional stability. Nigeria lacks moral and technical wherewithal to deploy its B2 behaviour towards the development of democratic institutions in The Gambia.

Abstract:

This article examines transnational kinship relations between Gambian parents in the UK and their children and carers in The Gambia, with a focus on the production, exchange and reception of photographs. Many Gambian migrant parents in the UK take their children to The Gambia to be cared for by extended family members. Mirroring the mobility of Gambian migrants and their children as they travel between the UK and The Gambia, photographs document changing family structures and relations. It is argued that domestic photography provides an insight into the representational politics, values and aesthetics of Gambian transatlantic kinship relations. Further, the concept of the moral economy supports a hermeneutics of Gambian family photographic practice and develops our understanding of the visual economy of transnational kinship relations in a number of ways: it draws attention to the way in which the value attributed to a photograph is rooted in shared moral and cultural codes of care within transnational relations of inequality and power; it helps us to interpret Gambians’ responses to and treatment of family photographs; and it highlights the importance attributed to portrait photography and the staging, setting and aesthetics of photographic content within a Gambian imaginary.

Abstract:

ObjectivesIt is important to be able to detect symptoms of common mental disorders (CMDs) in pregnant women. However, the expression of these disorders can differ across cultures and depend on the specific scale used. This study aimed to (a) compare Gambian pregnant women’s responses to the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Self-reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and (b) compare responses to the EPDS in pregnant women in The Gambia and UK.DesignThis cross-sectional comparison study investigates Gambian EPDS and SRQ-20 scores through correlation between the two scales, score distributions, proportion of women with high levels of symptoms, and descriptive item analysis. Comparisons between the UK and Gambian EPDS scores were made by investigating score distributions, proportion of women with high levels of symptoms, and descriptive item analysis.SettingThis study took place in The Gambia, West Africa and London, UK.Participants221 pregnant women from The Gambia completed both the SRQ-20 and the EPDS; 368 pregnant women from the UK completed the EPDS.ResultsGambian participants’ EPDS and SRQ-20 scores were significantly moderately correlated (rs=0.6, p<0.001), had different distributions, 54% overall agreement, and different proportions of women identified as having high levels of symptoms (SRQ-20=42% vs EPDS=5% using highest cut-off score). UK participants had higher EPDS scores (M=6.5, 95% CI (6.1 to 6.9)) than Gambian participants (M=4.4, 95% CI (3.9 to 4.9)) (p<0.001, 95% CIs (−3.0 to –1.0), Cliff’s delta = −0.3).ConclusionsThe differences in scores from Gambian pregnant women to the EPDS and SRQ-20 and the different EPDS responses between pregnant women in the UK and The Gambia further emphasise how methods and understanding around measuring perinatal mental health symptoms developed in Western countries need to be applied with care in other cultures.Cite Now

Abstract:

This paper aims at finding out the national interest of China in conducting economic cooperation with the Gambia from 2016. Relying on qualitative inquiry, this research is informed by the theoretical concepts from national interest. In terms of national interest, the political aspect of the national interest of Morgenthau and the economic aspect of Donald E. Nuechterlein is used to analyze the national interest of China in the Gambia. To answer the research question: What is China’s national interest in their economic cooperation with the Gambia? The research finds out that China has political and economic interests in the Gambia. Politically, China’s interest in the Gambia is clearly stated in the joint communique signed between China and the Gambia when they were resuming their diplomatic relations in 2016. As a form of this agreement, the Gambia is supporting the One-China principle by not opening official relations with Taiwan. Finally, China retains an economic interest to secure the Gambian market for Chinese products and natural resources for Chinese manufacturing industries. Most importantly, is the port of the Gambia which has a strategic location in the west Africa region and is crucial to the China’s belt and road initiative. China has become one of the major sources of financial support for the Gambia since resuming economic cooperation in 2016. This financial support includes giving loans, grants, aid, and trade. As can be seen from the analysis of the dependency perspective, this research shows that China uses its loans and grants to monopolized the Gambia market for Chinese goods and Chinese investment which likely creates contracts for Chinese companies and provide job opportunities for Chinese citizens. Keywords: national interest, China, The Gambia, economic cooperation, one-china principle.

Abstract:

Six sympatric species of the cone shell genus Lautoconus Monterosato, 1923 have been discovered on an isolated rock reef near the Gambia River Mouth, Gambia, West Africa. Of these, four were found to be new to science and, together, they represent a previously unknown Gambian endemic species radiation. These include: Lautoconus fernandi new species, L. gambiensis new species, L. rikae new species, and L. wolof new species. The poorly-known Gambian endemic cone, Lautoconus orri (Ninomiya and da Motta, 1982) was also found to be a component of the rock reef fauna, as was the wide-ranging L. guinaicus (Hwass, 1792) (Senegal to Ghana). The Gambian cluster of sibling species represents the farthest-south separate radiation of Lautoconus known from the West African coast.

Abstract:

This paper reports the first systematic survey of the marine turtles of the 80 km of Gambian coastline, and brings together new data and all past records and reports of marine turtles in The Gambia. Green turtles Chelonia mydas are the most abundant turtles and this is the only species so far observed nesting in The Gambia, with peak nesting between August and October. Although 75% (60 km) of The Gambian coastline appears to be suitable for turtle nesting, most nesting activity is confined to the southern coastline. Offshore foraging habitat is apparently extensive. Strandings of green turtles, olive ridley turtles Lepidochelys olivacea, leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea and hawksbill turtles Eretmochelys imbricata have been recorded, but we were unable to find evidence for loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta. Threats are mainly of human origin, and include illegal harvesting of eggs, juveniles and adults, as well as mortality as fisheries bycatch, including trawling. One stranded green turtle apparently had fibropapilloma disease. The major threat to nesting habitats is erosion and unregulated development of the coast for tourism. Marine turtles are fully protected under Gambian law. Other national efforts to conserve turtles in The Gambia are described and assessed.

Abstract:

The Gambia is a 95 percent Muslim country that is located in the western part of Africa. The population of the country is around 2.5 m. The Gambia is largely dependent on Agriculture, tax, tourism, and foreign aid and is ranked 178, in the Human Development Index 2019, the Gambia is classified as a country with medium human development. The paper used the literature review method. Currently, there is various microfinance program that has been existing for years, but none of them are having Islamic microfinance loan products until recently when two are lunched, as a result, some did not take their loans and even those who take it is hard to change their lives because it is purely for profit-making and also the higher interest rate for some of them. Islamic Microfinance would be the best development instrument for the population of Gambia. The microfinance institutions in The Gambia are very well expanded, they are the main source of credit to the Gambian population both rural and urban. Therefore it will be very important if microfinance institutions in the Gambia can introduce sharia microfinance. The objective of this paper is to suggest ways to introduce sharia microfinance in The Gambia and the benefits of sharia microfinance. The results of this study find out that Islamic microfinance is a viable loan product that can work in the Gambia, there are various kinds of Islamic microfinance products that can work for the poor in the Gambia, such as farmers, gardeners, and market vendors or SMEs. And Islamic microfinance could be the best way of eradicating poverty in the Gambia, since it is not based on the predetermined interest rate and have various suitable loan schemes, if well implemented can change lives.

Abstract:

This study examines the experience of Gambian migrants in Libya. The article explores the root causes of irregular migration and factors that influence migrants to return. The article adopted a qualitative method and used a case study design to generate data from different sets of returnees. The study uses in-depth interviews with 50 returnees to enrich the data generated from secondary literature and official reports. The article also assesses the reintegration and support programs offered to returnees to enable them to effectively resettle in the Gambia. While the article underscores the grave implication of irregular migration on the development of the Gambia and the lives of the migrants, significant progress has been made by the government of the Gambia and partners towards the governance of migration. The study found that even though irregular migration still happens in the Gambia, the rate and magnitude have reduced. The article recommends remodeling agriculture and making it enticing for young people as well as supporting young people in entrepreneurship will provide a lasting solution to irregular migration

Abstract:

The Gambia has a thriving tourist industry, but in recent decades has developed a reputation as a destination for older, female tourists to seek sexual relationships with young Gambian men. During partnerships or in return for sex, Gambian men may receive financial support or in some cases the opportunity to travel to Europe with a partner. There has been little previous research among these men on sexual risk behaviours, physical and mental health, and health service utilisation. This study describes the economic drivers and health implications of interactions between Gambian men and foreign tourists near tourist resorts in The Gambia. We conducted simultaneous mixed method data collection among Gambian men who regularly interact with tourists: a cross-sectional quantitative survey and discrete choice experiment (DCE) with 242 respondents, three focus group discussions, and 17 in-depth interviews. The survey asked questions on demographic characteristics, sexual history and health-seeking, the DCE elicited trade-offs between partnership characteristics, and qualitative data explored individual and group experiences in depth. We found that sexual activity between Gambian men and tourists was prevalent with 50% of the sample reporting ever having sex with a tourist. Condom use at last sex was significantly higher with tourist (63%) than with Gambian partners (40%, p<0.01). Condom use, money, and opportunity to travel to Europe were most important to respondents in the DCE. Qualitative data validated and explained quantitative findings, notably pressures to engage in unprotected sex and potential travel to Europe. Although men’s physical health needs were broadly met, mental health, substance use and sexual health needs were not. Young men working on the beaches of The Gambia face substantial health risks, including from STIs and mental health issues. The health system needs to understand barriers to existing health services, and how they can meet the needs of these vulnerable men.

Abstract:

Modern Islamic finance has grown from a mere complement to conventional finance into a more viable and competitive form of financial intermediation in the world. It has received remarkable patronage from many Muslim majority countries since the advent in 1963. The Gambia is a Muslim majority West African nation where Islamic banking began in the country since 1997. However, the patronage of Islamic banking in the Gambia is quite insignificant compared to many Muslim countries. Hence, this paper seeks to analyze the perception of the Gambian public towards Islamic banking. A sample size of 459 respondents collected through questionnaire survey was used to collect the research data and the methodology adopted was quantitative with descriptive-cum-exploratory research design. SPSS version 25 and Microsoft Excel 2010 were used to analyze the data. Findings indicated that the perception of the Gambian public towards Islamic banking is generally positive and awareness about the existence of Islamic banking was high. However, knowledge about Islamic banking principles and understanding of Islamic banking products and operations were quite poor. Results also suggest that the Gambian public is willing to patronize Islamic banking, however, religion although important, but it is not the main patronage factor for Islamic banking in the Gambia. Results of Multiple Regression indicated that two of the independent variables namely, awareness and understanding of Islamic banking principles and products were not statistically significant in influencing public perception of Islamic banking while independent variables such as bank selection criteria and willingness to patronize were statistically significant.

Reiches, Meredith Wayden. "Female Adolescent Energy Expenditure in the Gambia." Thesis, Harvard University, 2012. http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:10031.

Full text

Abstract:

Adolescence is a life history transition of individual and evolutionary importance: the body begins to allocate energy available above maintenance costs away from somatic growth and towards reproductive function. This study investigates how both distal, intergenerational effects and proximal, seasonal changes in energy availability impact the way adolescent female bodies allocate energy among linear growth, fat and lean mass, activity, and metabolic function. The research follows up on a prenatal supplementation study conducted by the British Medical Research Council in rural Gambia between 1989 and 1994. Pregnant women were randomized to receive daily supplements of 1015 kcal either from week 20 of pregnancy until delivery or during the first 20 weeks of lactation. The 67 adolescent daughters included in the follow up study were born to women in both groups during the rainy agricultural season, the period of the year associated with weight loss, poor perinatal outcomes, and high impact of the pregnancy supplement on birth weight. Anthropometry, body composition, daily saliva, weekly serum, and weekly fasting urine samples for C-peptide of insulin were collected during one month each in the 2009 rainy agricultural season, the 2010 dry harvest season, and the 2010 rainy agricultural season. Participant heart rates were calibrated to oxygen consumption each season, and 24-hr accelerometer and heart rate data were recorded to estimate free-living energy expenditure. It was found that pregnancy supplementation status did not predict infant or adolescent phenotype in the study sample. Maternal postpartum weight, however, was a powerful positive distal predictor of adolescent size. The daughters of heavier mothers produced less leptin per unit fat mass. Under conditions of high energy expenditure and low intake, adolescent women who were growing in height mobilized adipose stores and acquired lean mass, while developmentally older women maintained fat stores at the expense of lean mass. Married adolescents in the sample were older, had lower fasting C-peptide of insulin, had higher absolute energy expenditure, and spent more of their total energy budgets in activity than did unmarried peers.

Abstract:

In the 1980s, USAID (US Agency for International Development) funded an environmental assessment of dams on the Gambia River, which determined that construction of the Balingho anti-salinity barrage would result in adverse unmitigative environmental and social consequences. Attempts by host country politicians, USAID and UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) to discredit this process made it necessary to take the matter to the Natural Resource Defense Council. A case study of the events surrounding these dams and their potential construction illustrates the ‘big dam’ paradigm and its potential harm to people, their livelihoods and the environment in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract:

I detta arbete har vi sökt och erhållit kunskaper om hur lärare fångar dagen i undervisningen i Gambia, genom kvalitativa metoder bestående av intervjuer och observationer. Vi vill ta hem kunskaperna till Sverige, ta lärdom och bygga broar för att dels kunna utveckla vårt eget lärande och dels knyta till oss kunskaper om den gambiska kulturen. Vi har studerat genom ett etnografiskt synsätt eftersom vi befann oss mitt i denna annorlunda kultur under vår sista verksamhetsförlagda utbildning. Lärarna i vår undersökning tycker att de fångar dagen i undervisningen bland annat när de ser samtliga elevers engagemang och motivation, när läraren är ämnesmässigt kunnig och förberedd, när läraren anpassar undervisningen på rätt nivå, när dagen avslutas positivt och när de ser gott resultat och uppförande hos eleverna. De menar även att läraren måste vara mycket engagerad, väl förberedd både mentalt och ämnesmässigt, motiverad, använda kroppsspråket och rösten.

Abstract:

Abstract The upper Albian shelf reservoir at deepwater Gambia is modelled as deltaic and basin floor fan plays, identified based on seismic and well data characterization as well as sequence stratigraphy. There are recently proven Albian shelf reservoirs in the neighboring Senegal waters, the SNE field, which become the motivation for exploring the deepwater Gambia, and to spud the first well for offshore The Gambia in 40 years. Recent discovery wells in the deepwater MSGBC basin have shown that the main geological risk in finding prospective leads in this region will depend on the understanding of reservoir presence and the distribution of reservoir effectiveness, where these are mainly influenced by the presence of quartz and calcite and their cementation rate. This paper describes the effort in integrating geological information as a basis to develop the best geophysical approach as part of a derisking tool for exploration lead and prospect screening. The main objective is to develop a predictive tool which combines the benefit of understanding the rock properties under these geological circumstances with the elastic properties as a representative seismic response to enhance the reliability of the model in predicting reservoir effectiveness distribution. This analysis allows us to effectively reduce the uncertainty in the prediction of low contrast reservoir from the seismic data.

Abstract:

Orthogonal Array-based Latin Hypercube Designs (OALHDs) have not only become popular in practice among techniques used in the development of computer experiments but also helpful whenever interest is on designing some traditional experiments. Design construction for computer experiments has become a novel area especially in Nigeria and Africa at large since it is more about experimental planning rather than modelling aspect in which some progress has been made. The Bush Construction Type II method was used in this study to construct a strong Orthogonal Array (OA) of strength three, using Galois Fields (GF) of order s which gave rise to the constructed Orthogonal Array-Based Latin Hypercube Designs (OALHDs) for planning experiments. The OALHD was used in this research as a Latin hypercube design constructed based on orthogonal arrays in order to achieve better space-filling properties that would otherwise not be accomplished by a random Latin hypercube design (LHD). Orthogonal Array (N, k) LHD were constructed at parameter values of OA (N, k) = (216, 8) and (343, 9). This study aims at applying the OALHDs constructed to improve the study design or conducted in biomedical research. The health related quality of health data of HIV patients was used in the application. This is a novel approach in the medical setting. The method of construction employed the maximin criterion in the k- Nearest Neighbour with Euclidean distance for constructing strong the Orthogonal Array-Based Latin Hypercube Designs (OALHDs). The OA (216, 8) LHD and OA (343, 9) LHD constructed possessed better space-filling properties and they achieve uniformity in each dimension of the designed variables. This study concludes that the OALHDs can be used to improve the study design in biomedical research. A MATLAB 2016 computer package was used for program implementation and analysis.

Abstract:

Purpose: One of the major areas on HRM is how to develop employees and get the most efficient out of them by retaining employees and reducing an organization's turnover rate. People leave organizations all the times, depending on various reasons that might be personal and out of the control of the employee, and/or either due to conflict of interest of employees seeking a change in their careers. There are various possible factors of the range of control of the organization. However, it has been observed that organizations can keep their employees longer if they are oriented and welltrained. In this paper, investigation will be on the impact of employees' orientation as a tool towards reducing high turnover rates. Methodology: Both primary and secondary data were used to gather information for this investigation. The secondary data was obtained from articles, blogs, papers online, and textbooks. The questionnaires were sent to respondents electronically via Google forms. A link was produced: Https://forms.gle/GEgBCklkmlkMXmL9 after the survey was built, it was shared amongst respondents with an attached letter of clarification explaining the process of participation which was on voluntary basis. The survey was opened for a span of one week and within a week 144 surveys were filled and submitted above the benchmark which targeted 100 participates. The targeted audience was a random selection of The Gambia’s workforce, there was no specific organization under reviewed. Findings: The Statistics of this survey shows that very few numbers of employees stayed with an organization for more than 5 years of employment which indicates a high turnover. Over 73% of the respondents received orientation prior to job engagement with little and/or less information about how to do their jobs. Whereas, over 27% of employees never received any orientation. Results also show that management does not get involved often in ensuring that their newly hired employees understand what-to-do? And how-to-do-their jobs, rather most employees ended up learning their jobs by themselves. Finally, this survey recorded 38% for employees’ feedback and 66% of the time management does not respond to staff feedback. Feedback is one of the most ideal ways of improvement but management concentrates less on it. On the side of training and development, 42% of the respondents believe that orientation helps in reducing the rate at which people leave an organization. While 36% feel neutral about this statement and 50% of the respondents believe that orientation helps in retaining employees. Keywords: Employee Retention, Organization's Turnover Rate, Employment

Abstract:

The continuous improvement in technology underscores the critical need for an efficient home security system to address the prevailing security concerns (such as intrusion and fire outbreaks) in homes. Noticeably, automated home security systems that rely on PIR sensors, smoke sensors, microcontrollers, and android enabled remote monitoring features have huge advantages over manual systems. These automated systems increase the possibility of eradicating security fears in homes by providing homeowners with a good sense of security each time they are away from their homes. This paper reviewed some of the existing techniques previously used to implement advanced home security systems and present a system that notifies homeowners in the event of an intrusion or fire incident in their homes. In addition, the system provides homeowners with a remote monitoring feature via an Android application to stream live events using the cameras or channels provided in the DVR.

Abstract:

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) find its application in various facets of life. Atmospheric contamination in the various elements of air leading to hazardous effects of global warming and acid rains can affect the well-being of a population. An air pollution monitoring system is therefore important to keep away from such adverse imbalance in nature. In the proposed paper, an attempt is made to develop a real time pollution monitoring using wireless sensor networks (WSN). This WSN will monitor the profile concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in a chosen location. With the rapid growth in the industries, which are the main sources of air pollutants, the problem of air pollution is becoming a serious concern for the health of the population. The concentration of one major air pollutant gases Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from the air is sensed by the gas sensors. The sensor is properly calibrated as per the standard methods and the gas sensor is then incorporated with the wireless sensor motes using hierarchical cluster-based architecture.The node is expected to sense pollutants, convert, and process the magnitude of pollution to equivalent data output which is transmitted to the remote base station. The expected results would show data of the Nitrogen dioxide sensor for each location and graphical results. Research and suggestions have been offered by researchers for two decades and more on the increasing dangers of industrialization, population growth, influx of used vehicles popularly called ‘tokunbos’ as they pertain to the public health and adverse effects if not properly managed. The test findings of this work would show if the concentration of gaseous air pollutant like NO2 in a chosen location at a particular time poses a problem to humans and the environment.

Full text

Abstract:

Probability distributions of acoustic signals propagating through the near-ground atmosphere are simulated by the parabolic equation method. The simulations involve propagation at four angles relative to the mean wind, with frequencies of 100, 200, 400, and 800 Hz. The environmental representation includes realistic atmospheric refractive profiles, turbulence, and ground interactions; cases are considered with and without parametric uncertainties in the wind velocity and surface heat flux. The simulated signals are found to span a broad range of scintillation indices, from near zero to exceeding ten. In the absence of uncertainties, the signal power (or intensity) is fit well by a two-parameter gamma distribution, regardless of the frequency and refractive conditions. When the uncertainties are included, three-parameter distributions, namely, the compound gamma or generalized gamma, are needed for a good fit to the simulation data. The compound gamma distribution appears preferable because its parameters have a straight forward interpretation related to the saturation and modulation of the signal by uncertainties.
