This volume is devoted to the contemporary Nigerian prophet T. B. Joshua, whose healings and prophecies are famous far beyond the borders of Nigeria. The study analyses the impact of his use of the media upon the development of healing and prophecy. It deals with globalisation on the one hand and growing intimacy on the other, as well as with new forms of healing.

Simulizi za ugonjwa zinatolewa na mgonjwa na mtu mmoja au wengi wanaoombwa naye wamsaidie wakashauriana hali ya maradhi. Kutambua ugonjwa ni kazi ya kawaida na siyo ya waganga au madaktari tu. Kama pengine, katika Afrika ya Mashariki wenyeji huwa na ujuzi wa kawaida juu ya maradhi, mwili, tiba, dawa za hospitali na za kienyeji. Kila jinsi ya tiba ina njia, lugha na mazoezi yake. Mfano ufuatao unaonyesha maana na matumizi ya dhana na tashbihi (metaphors) katika uganga wa kienyeji. Ni kazi yangu sasa ya kufasiri matumizi ya tashbihi na alama katika mawasiliano ambayo huitwa `simulizi za ugonjwa´, yaani illness narratives ambazo ni dhana ya utafiti katika mawasiliano ya kuganga.

The objectives of this paper were (i) to perform a systematic review of the literature over the last 21 yr and (ii) to evaluate the efficacy of selective dry cow treatment (SDCT) vs. blanket dry cow treatment (BDCT) in dairy cows regarding the risk of intramammary infection (IMI) after calving, new IMI risk after calving, cure risk during the dry period, and a reduction in antibiotic use at drying-off by meta-analysis. The final number of included studies was n = 3 for IMI risk after calving and n = 5 for new IMI risk after calving, cure risk during the dry period, and antibiotic use. The relative risk (RR) levels for IMI, new IMI, and cure did not differ significantly between SDCT and BDCT. This meta-analysis provides evidence that SDCT seems to be an adequate alternative to BDCT regarding udder health with a simultaneous reduction in antibiotic use. Limitations might arise because of the small number of studies included.:1. Introduction 2.

Die finale Anzahl eingeschlossener Studien war n = 3 für das IMI-Risiko pp sowie n = 5 für Neuinfektionenrisiko pp, Heilungsrisiko während dem Trockenstehen und Antibiotikaeinsatz zum Trockenstellen. Die relativen Risiken für IMI pp, Neuinfektionen pp und Heilung während der Trockenstehperiode unterschieden sich dabei nicht signifikant zwischen SDCT und BDCT. Diese Meta-Analyse erbringt Evidenz, dass SDCT eine adäquate Alternative zu BDCT im Hinblick auf Eutergesundheit und Antibiotikareduktion ist. Limitationen entstehen durch die geringe Anzahl an eingeschlossenen Studien.:1. Introduction 2.
