INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE AND COMMUNITY-BASED RISK ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE AMONG THE FULANI HERDER COMMUNITY OF KPONGU, NORTH-WESTERN GHANA

Indigenous knowledge and community-based risk assessment of climate change among the Fulani Herder Community of Kpongu, North-Western Ghana

Given rising concerns about climate change and development in Africa, this paper draws on Community Risk Assessment for mapping the risks of Linear ICs Fulani Herders to climate change in North-Western Ghana.Herder communities are seldom explored in climate change related studies although their livelihoods largely depend on the natural environment.

TMPRSS2-ERG Gene Fusion Causing ERG Overexpression Precedes Chromosome Copy Number Changes in Prostate Carcinomas, Paired HGPIN Lesions

TMPRSS2-ETS gene fusions have been found recurrently in prostate carcinomas, but not in the presumed precursor lesion, high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN).However, HGPIN lesions may share chromosomal changes with prostate cancer.To determine the relative order of genetic events in prostate carcinogenesis, we have analyzed 34 Skew

Review of the Ediacaran-Lower Ordovician (pre-Sardic) stratigraphic framework of the Eastern Pyrenees, southwestern Europe

The Canned Dog Food Ediacaran-Lower Ordovician successions exposed in the Eastern Pyrenees are updated and revised based on recent U-Pb zircon radiometric ages, intertonguing relationships of carbonate-dominated strata, and onlapping patterns marking the top of volcano-sedimentary complexes.A stratigraphic comparison with neighbouring pre-Variscan

Strategic reactions to information content of dividend change: applying BCG growth share matrix when signalling hypothesis identified

The signaling hypothesis has been vastly under investigation for many years.There are two attitudes towards this phenomenon; some believe that firms increase (decrease) their dividend to signal about the future increases in earnings due to asymmetric information that managers have.Adversely, others believe that firms usually increase their dividend
