This study examines the integral role of traditional Urhobo musical instruments in verbal arts, highlighting their symbiotic importance in traditional songs. Musical instruments such as ozi, agba, agogo, akaba, eshẹshẹghẹ, igede otete, igede ode, agidigbo, egbagen, iwisoro, ibani and ọgban are analyzed as vessels of cultural expression, conveying emotions, values, messages, and community identity. Through ethnographic research and performance analysis, this research reveals how Urhobo musical instruments enhance narrative depth and emotional resonance, facilitate communal participation and engagement, symbolize cultural values and mythological themes, inspire creative expression and improvisation and pass the right messages to citizens. This research contributes to the understanding of African musical traditions and their intersection with verbal arts, underscoring the significance of Urhobo cultural heritage in contemporary artistic expressions

No full textHow Are the ‘Outsiders’ of Human Society Depicted in Korean and Japanese Picturebooks ?: Focusing on ‘Dokaebee’ and ‘Oni’
No full textapplication/pdfIn folktales, the lack that arises at the beginning of a story is resolved at its conclusion, as it should be. However, in the Korean picture book ‘Dokaebee’ the lack that occurred at the beginning of the story remains unresolved at the end of the story. In this article, a structural analysis of the story was conducted in order to clarify the reason for this. For the structural analysis, the structural analysis diagram was presented in pairs of two terms, rather than just chronologically arranged, so that it could be viewed in an abstract manner. The Japanese picture book ‘OLD MEN AND THEIR WENS’ was chosen for comparison. The reason for this is that ‘OLD MEN AND THEIR WENS’ features an Oni in Japanese folklore.
Han Byungho, author of ‘Dokaebee’ is known as “Han Byungho of Dokaebee”, and Akaba Suekichi, author of ‘OLD MEN AND THEIR WENS’ is known as “Akaba of Oni”.
Dokaebee and Oni are said to be the “outsiders” of human society, but Han Byungho said described Dokaebee as speaking for the people, while Akaba described Oni as projecting the human mind but being the very environment that surrounds people. As a result of these differences, the differences in nature and characteristics between Dokaebee and Oni are represented in the picturebooks.departmental bulletin pape

No full textStarting from the reflexion on the legend of the Queen of Sheba’s hairy leg, the author tries to disentangle the inextricable network of traditions – Egyptian, Jewish, Byzantine and Arab – and to find an historical thread which may explain the many syncretic rehandlings that lead to the original redaction of Kebra Nagast, the «Glory of the Kings», the Ethiopian dynasty’s founding text. All this network of traditions seems to converge towards the gulf of Akaba and the Nubian border of the Red Sea

A prospective study to compare the effectiveness of adjunctive rectal misoprostol or oxytocin titration in the prevention of primary post-partum haemorrhage in at risk patients
No full textBackground: Adjunctive uterotonic in patients at risk of primary post-partum haemorrhage may reduce its incidence. Objective: To compare the effectiveness and safety of adjunctive rectal misoprostol with adjunctive intravenous oxy- tocin for the prevention of primary post-partum haemorrhage in at risk patients.Materials and methods: A total of 122 patients with risk factors for uterine atony were allocated to receive either 600μg of rectal misoprostol (n= 61) or 20IU of oxytocin infusion (n=61) after routine management of third stage of labour. Post-partum blood loss was measured using differential delivery towel and pad weighing.Results: There was similarity in the estimated post-partum blood loss, with no significant difference in the mean post-partum hematocrit levels between the adjunctive rectal misoprostol group and oxytocin infusion group (P=0.712). There was no difference in the need for additional intervention of uterotonics between the two groups. There were however, higher incidences of shivering and pyrexia among those that received misoprostol compared with the oxy- tocin group.Conclusion: Rectal misoprostol is as effective and safe as oxytocin when used as an adjunctive uterotonic in prevent- ing primary post-partum haemorrhage in patients with risk factors for uterine atony after active management of third stage of labour.Keywords: Adjunctive rectal misoprostol, primary post-partum haemorrhage, patients
