RURAL WOMEN IN PEACE-BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA: THE CASE OF GBARAIN-EKPETIAMA WOMEN IN BAYELSA STATE
Ambily Etekpe
The Dawn Journal , 2012,

Abstract: The commencement of the Gbarain-Ubie integrated oil and gas project (NLNG) in Gbarain-Ekpetiama Clans in 2005 was to equally bring about the positive transformation of the 47 host communities in Bayelsa and some parts of Rivers State. Accordingly, the parties entered into a global memorandum of understanding (GMoU) in April 2006 to establish nine programmes and projects, but SPDC reneged, leading to series of agitations that eventually resulted in the “rural women revolt” in May 2010. The NLNG was shut down for three weeks. This made the state government and SPDC to sue for peaceful resolution on May 18, 2010, where it was agreed that SPDC faithfully implement the tenets of the GMoU. The study applied David Easton’s theory of “post-behavioural revolution”, and adopted the “participant observation” method to examine the need for rural women to reinvigorate tested indigenous knowledge in peace-building and development in the male dominated vocation. The paper discussed how the revolt unveiled several lessons, including the need for dialogue, adherence to the tenets of GMoU, and swift response of government and SPDC to forestall escalation. It then recommends the sustenance of the micro-credit scheme to continue to impact positively on the rural communities.

Life as a “Part-Time” Scientist
Ambily Banerjee
Opticon1826 , 2007, DOI: 10.5334/opt.030716

Abstract: Within the Faculty of Life Sciences, I am yet to encounter a part-time researcher. Why has this species never successfully evolved within the ecosystem that we call academia? When I returned to work eighteen months ago after my maternity break, I was offered the option of working part-time, as the law demands. I chose to try it out for a month, working three days a week. During this time, I realised two things: I had to rely heavily on my colleagues to cover for me on the days I was off, and my project moved ahead at a grindingly slow pace. Neither of these scenarios was acceptable to me. As someone who had dedicated three years of hard work towards obtaining a Ph.D. I couldn’t envisage throwing away a rewarding career in favour of full time motherhood. But my family was also my first priority. So, like many working mothers I came up with a compromise. My day starts at 5am, and I work my full time hours by 3pm. Although some people still class me as a part-timer, as I am normally leaving work by the time they come back from lunch, I am happier that I get a few quality hours with my child everyday.

Abstract: In the present study, a photoresponsive chromophoric system such as 4-[(E)-2-(3-hydro xynaphthalen-2-yl)diazen-1-yl] benzoic acid was incorporated on to lignin core by functional transformation reactions and the photoresponsive beha-vior of the green, environment friendly product was investigated. The end hydroxyl group of lignin was modified with the chromophoric systems by DCC coupling. The chromophoric systems as well as the chromophore-bound biopolymer core systems were purified by column chromatography. The products were characterized by UV-visible, fluorescence, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopic methods. The results of the studies show that incorporation of the chromophoric system on to the lignin core enhanced the light absorption, emission and light stabilization properties of the chromophoric system. The light fastening properties of chromophoric system and the modified product were compared. It shows that stability of the chromophoric system greatly enhanced on attaching to the polymeric system. The trans-cis photoisomerisation and the reverse cis-trans thermal conversions were also assisted by the lignin core. The remarkable stability on irradiation shows that this is a novel photoresponsive system with excellent light fastening properties which would find application in coating materials, dyes, paints, inks, therapeutic agents and many more.

Abstract: A chromophoric system 2-(5-(4-dimethylamino-benzylidin)-4-oxo-2-thioxo-thiazoli din-3-yl)acetic acid with push-pull electron modulation was synthesised and incorporated onto lignin core (technical lignin, lignin sulphonic acid M.W. 52,400) and the photo responsive behaviour was investigated. The product was characterised by UV-visible, fluores-cence, FT-IR, and NMR spectroscopic methods. The results of the studies show that the incorporation of the chromo-phoric system on to the lignin core enhanced the light absorption and light stabilization properties of the chromophoric system. The remarkable stability on irradiation provides a novel photo responsive system with excellent light fastening properties which would find application in coating materials, dyes, paints etc.

Abstract: “Adoption is not to be treated as an act by a State to force a child on unwilling parents. On the contrary it is a voluntary act on the part of eligible persons to provide comfort, love and security to the abandoned and homeless children. No religion, can deny family love to these children of God. Religions preach peace and brotherhood. How can there be brotherhood if you will not treat a section of your citizens as brothers. Children are the living embodiment of God. In them you find the manifestation of God in all its forms. In the smile of the child you see beauty of creation.”

Abstract: In this article, we give explicit proofs of certain commutator relations among the elementary generators of the elementary orthogonal group $EO_A(Q\perp H(P))$, where $A$ is a commutative ring, $Q$ is a non-singular quadratic $A$-space and $H(P)$ is the hyperbolic space of a finitely generated projective module $P$ with the natural quadratic form. Using these relations, we established a local-global principle of D. Quillen for the Dickson--Siegel--Eichler--Roy (DSER) elementary orthogonal transformations in \cite{aarr}. In \cite{aa1}, by using these commutator relations, we prove the normality of this elementary group in the orthogonal group under some conditions on the hyperbolic rank. Also, these relations are used to obtain further information about this orthogonal group and in comparing it with similar groups such as Hermitian groups and odd unitary groups.

Abstract: In this paper, we prove the normality of the Roy's elementary orthogonal group (Dickson--Siegel--Eichler--Roy or DSER group) over a commutative ring which was introduced by A. Roy in [MR0231844] under some conditions on the hyperbolic rank. We also establish a stability theorem for $K_1$ of Roy's group. We obtain a decomposition theorem for the elementary orthogonal group which is used to deduce the stability theorem.

Bacteriological quality of icecream marketed in Thrissur town, Kerala, India
R Ambily,A K Beena
Veterinary World , 2012, DOI: 10.5455/vetworld.2012.738-741

Abstract: Aim: To assess the bacteriological quality of ice creams marketed in Thrissur town, Kerala. Materials and Methods: Twenty seven ice cream samples randomly collected from selected retail outlets and street vendors in the town over a period of two months were analyzed for total viable count and for the presence of coliforms, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes. Results: Total Viable Count ranged from 1.2 x 10 2 to 8.2 x 10 3 CFU/g in industrial brands whereas in street vendor samples it was high in the range of 5.2 x 10 5 to 6.6 x 10 6 CFU/g. Coliform counts were high in 30 % of the samples. 27 % of the samples had high Staphylococcal count. E coli were isolated from two samples from street vendors and Salmonella spp. from one of the samples. Listeria spp. was not isolated from any of the samples. Conclusion: The presence of potential pathogens in the ice cream samples reveals the significance of implementation of quality control measures in marketing ice creams thus reducing the public health hazards.
