1 | TITLE NAME: Agricultural Insurance in Ghana: An Examination of Concepts, Structure and Challenges Author’s Name : Nicholas Oppong Mensah1 , Simon Cudjo Fialor2, DadsonAwuny Vitor3 and Edward Yeboah4 Article Type : ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Country from : GHANA Date of Publication: 05-09-2018 Journal Name : Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries [ ISSN : 2456-1045 ] Article Identification : Vol. 28.0/Issue-I/Chapter-I/Page – 01-08 [ AUGUST-2018 EDITION ] Article Code : AGS-V28-I1-C1-AUG2018 Status : Officially published Publisher : International Journal Foundation Download PDF : Full article —————————————————————————————————————————– Abstract : Ghana has a target to achieve in the millennium development goal one by 2015 using agriculture as one of the panaceas to poverty reduction. This is because agriculture has the potential to transform the economy as it employs 60% of the labour force and in particular those in the rural areas. However, climate change threatens this objective; leaving rural households vulnerable to poverty traps. click here This review sought to examine how agricultural insurance in relation to concept, structure and prospect is providing timely and relevant response to mitigate the negative impact of climate change on agricultural production. The methodology adapted for the review was largely the use of primary data and information collected through interviews and participant observation supported with content analysis of existing publication on agricultural insurance. The review has identified two key projects that have developed insurance products for farmers. These projects are Innovative Insurance Project for Adaptation to Climate Change (IIPACC) and Ghana Agricultural Insurance Pool (GAIP).These projects have developed drought index insurance and area yield index insurance for maize and soya beans for seven regions in Ghana as a coordinated response to mitigating the negative effect of climate change consequently to reduce poverty. Although, these insurance products are developed it is not clear how the farmers are responding to the uptake of these insurance products. In addition, it has been observed that these products are limited to maize and soybean farmers. It is therefore, recommended that a study should be conducted to assess the level of utilization of these insurance products by farmers. Furthermore, insurance product should be developed to cover perils that affect other crops, livestock, poultry and fisheries.Keywords: Agricultural Insurance, Climate Change, Poverty Reduction, Ghana.

2 | TITLE NAME : Teaching versus learning in a personal perspective Author’s Name : Dr. Nida Zaki1 and Prof. Dr Muhammad Zia Iqbal2 Article Type : Short Communication Country from : United Kingdom Date of Publication: 05-09-2018 Journal Name : Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries [ ISSN : 2456-1045 ] Article Identification : Vol. 28.0/Issue-I/Chapter-II/Page – 09-11[ AUGUST-2018 EDITION ] Article Code : MDS-V28-I1-C2-AUG2018 Status : Officially published Publisher : International Journal Foundation Download: Full article —————————————————————————————————————————– Abstract : Objective: To communicate the personal experience between teaching and learning in medical schools in traditional setup and problem based (PBL) setup. Methodology: It is a short communication based on personal experiences of two writers that narrates the basic difference between methodology of studies in medical schools in traditional setup and Problem based (PBL) setup. Bothe writers were trained in a traditional medical school, where they started medical education with two years of ‘pre-clinical’ training, followed by the ‘clinical’ training, of approximately three years, during which they worked in hospital wards under the supervision of consultants to get hand on training in medical and surgical procedures. At the end of five years of medical education, they cleared the final examination with high marks. The grades evaluated the memory, but what they learnt was never assessed.click here In comparison, the system of PBL was observed by writers which they realized is more suitable and useful as far as learning is concerned. Results: It was experience by the writers that PBL is a student’s based learning process where students are given medical scenarios to resolve and learn from. For learning they depend on self-directed learning and group work. Conclusion: PBL is experienced to be an effective system of learning in medical schools that keeps the learning more important than teaching.Key-word: Problem based learning (PBL), Teaching, Learning.

Our patient presented with very severe hyperlipidaemias and we successfully managed with using heparin and insulin. Heparin and insulin regime appear to be safe, effective and inexpensive first line therapy for inpatient management of severe hyperlipidaemias.click here |

4 | TITLE NAME : The Effects of Ischaemic Compression and Myofascial Release Technique on the Local Tissue Temperature and Functional Parameters of the Patients with Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Randomised Controlled Trial Author’s Name : Emel Sonmezer Article Type : ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Country from : TURKEY Date of Publication: 05-09-2018 Journal Name : Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries [ ISSN : 2456-1045 ] Article Identification : Vol. 28.0/Issue-I/Chapter-IV/Page – 15-22[ AUGUST-2018 EDITION ] Article Code : MDS-V28-I1-C4-AUG2018 Status : Officially published Publisher : International Journal Foundation Download: Full article —————————————————————————————————————————– Abstract : The aim of this study is to determine the effects of ischaemic compression (IC) and myofascial release (MR) techniques on local tissue temperature, range of motion (ROM) and pain parameters in patients with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). This single blind, randomised controlled trial study was carried on 60 patients who were diagnosed with MPS and had an active TP on the upper trapezius muscle. Patients were randomly divided into three groups. IC was applied to the first group (IC group), IC and MR were applied to the second group (IC+MR group) and sham IC was applied to the third group (sham group). click here Local tissue temperature was assessed with digital electronic infrared thermography; pain parameters were evaluated with a pressure pain algometer and visual analogue scale. Neck ROM was measured with an electronic inclinometer. All assessments were recorded before the treatment, just after the treatment and 24 hours after the treatment. In the IC group, the target tissue temperature showed a rapid decrease following the third minute after the application. Then, post-treatment tissue temperature reached the maximum level at the fifth minute. After IC+MR application, target tissue temperature showed a linear increase and reached the maximum level at the fifth minute. There were significant improvements in tissue temperature, pain threshold, pain intensity and ROM after treatment in both the IC group and IC+MR group; however, in the sham group, there were no significant differences in these parameters. IC and MR improve the local temperature of the target tissue. Considering local temperature is related to tissue vascularisation, both IC and MR treatment techniques can be effectively used to treat ischaemia induced-pain generated by trigger points in patients with MPS.Keywords: Myofascial pain, trigger point, thermography, manual therapy. |

These two pathologically distinct malignancies of head and neck subsites in one patient is a rare phenomenon to be further evaluated. click here Case presentation: Fifty three years old gentleman from Iraq presented with a painless left tongue ulcer with an indurated, irregular margin with elevated edges and necrotic floor, along with left thyroid suspicious nodule, left hemiglossectomy revealed an invasive moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue pT2 and Left hemithyroidectomy done with welldifferentiated papillary thyroid cancer follicular variant. Conclusion: High index of suspicion and thorough work up is essential in follow up of patients with head and neck primary cancers. The importance of multidisciplinary team work should be stressed on in evaluating patients with Head and Neck cancer and the importance of proper staging before planning a surgery. However, which patients are at increased risk of double primaries, is still unknown. Keywords: thyroid, tongue, cancer, synchronous, doubles primaries.
