Mapping of Malaria in Colonial Bengal using GIS

International Journal for Equity in Health, 2012

Background: An understanding of the febrile illness experience of Nigerian nomadic Fulani is necessary for developing an appropriate strategy for extending malaria intervention services to them. An exploratory study of their malaria illness experience was carried out in Northern Nigeria preparatory to promoting malaria intervention among them. Methods: Ethnographic tools including interviews, group discussions, informal conversations and living-in-camp observations were used for collecting information on local knowledge, perceived cause, severity and health seeking behaviour of nomadic Fulani in their dry season camps at the Gongola-Benue valley in Northeastern Nigeria. Results: Nomadic Fulani regarded pabboje (a type of "fever" that is distinct from other fevers because it "comes today, goes tomorrow, returns the next") as their commonest health problem. Pabboje is associated with early rains, ripening corn and brightly coloured flora. Pabboje is inherent in all nomadic Fulani for which treatment is therefore unnecessary despite its interference with performance of duty such as herding. Traditional medicines are used to reduce the severity, and rituals carried out to make it permanently inactive or to divert its recurrence. Although modern antimalaria may make the severity of subsequent pabboje episodes worse, nomads seek treatment in private health facilities against fevers that are persistent using antimalarial medicines. The consent of the household head was essential for a sick child to be treated outside the camp. The most important issues in health service utilization among nomads are the belief that fever is a Fulani illness that needs no cure until a particular period, preference for private medicine vendors and the avoidance of health facilities. Conclusions: Understanding nomadic Fulani beliefs about pabboje is useful for planning an acceptable community participatory fever management among them.

Ang layunin ng pananaliksik na ito ay ang makabuo ng isang glosaryong babasahin ng mga salitang ginagamit ng mga Balayeñong mangingisda, matukoy kung saang bahagi ng panalita nabibilang ang mga salitang nakalap, mabigyan ng natatanging kahulugan at maipabalideyt ang glosaryong nabuo. Ang nasabing pananaliksik ay nasa kuwalitatibo at kuwantitatibong disenyo at ginamitan ng convenience sampling sa pagpili ng mga kalahok. Ang bilang ng mga kalahok ay may kabuoang 30, kung saan 25 ay mga mangingisda na nagmula sa mga baybaying barangay ng Balayan, Batangas at limang guro na silang nagsilbing eksperto at nagbalideyt ng nabuong glosaryo upang makita kung naging katanggap-tanggap ang kabuoan ng awtput. Matapos maisagawa ang pangangalap ng datos, nakalikom ng 170 na mga salita ang mga mananaliksik ngunit 91 lamang dito ang pinili at isinama sa glosaryo dahil may mga pagkakataong nauuulit ang ibang mga salitang naibahagi. Sa balidasyon ng pagtingin sa acceptability sa pagpapakahulugan sa mga...

This study aimed to determine the experiences of students in remote areas upon their Learning Modality, Modular. The researcher focused on finding out the following: Students 'Most Outstanding Experiences; Challenges Faced by Students; Students' Methods of Solving Their Problems. Descriptive phenomenological is used in the research. Respondents of this study were selected using random sampling. Respondents of this study were from in Juban National High School which consists of 25 Senior high students living in remote areas. Semi-structured questionnaire was used in an interview to gather the needed data. This study finds out students' experiences in remote areas on their Modular Learning according to the learning modules, internet connection, time, and financial. Absence of knowledge in answering modules, slow internet connectivity, lack of modulation time and finance for transportation and other educational expenses have impact on the learning of the participants during Modular Learning. This study proposed to the Department of Education (DepEd) to provide an adequate funding in the manufacture of learning modules for the effectivity of students' learning. Provides a better internet connection and time frame are to consider. Wider information, methods and learning are to be shared and discussed to be use by the students in remote areas in the present condition of Education.
