Illness is no new subject in the history of african literature. It has fecunded the narratives of many generations. As a true metaphor of the state of the culture and society presented in the narrative, illness has become the symptom of a society that is sick of the corruption of its own cultural norms and values. In such a context, illness is metaphorized as an outlet for the patients to express their rejection of the prevailing social norms. Healing will consist in becoming aware of such a state of affairs and finding by oneself the ressources of one’s healing process with the help of the eponymous healers. Frantz fanon’s psychological findings of the link between society’s malfunctionning and its consequences on the individual’s mental state will be used to conduct that study. These theories will reveal the underlying social determinants of health condition.

“…Commenting on God Resigns and Isis, Newson-Hurst posits: 'Common to both works is a call for democracy -the participation of those who have been disenfranchised. Isis, the female antagonist of the play named after her, and a dethroned goddess, mobilizes the peasants and slaves while Bint Allah calls for broad participation in the summit' 16). Embedded in 'the call for democracy' mentioned by Newson-Horst, is Marx' s class-consciousness, the collective awareness of inequities and situations of injustice and 'the need for collective political action to bring about social change' (quoted in Schaefer 207).…”

“…It Would Take Time is engaged in what should be the simultaneous act of eliciting from history, mythology, and literature, for the benefit of both genuine aliens and alienated Africans, a continuing process of selfapprehension whose temporary dislocation appears to have persuaded many of its irrelevance (16)(17) Basic to Abodunrin' s quest for decolonization is the mixing of languages and aesthetic forms in the text. Like many African writers who imbue their works with local languages as vehicles of decolonization, Abodunrin makes profuse use of Yoruba language and expressions in the text.…”

The Editor invites submission of articles on the announced themes of forthcoming issues. Submissions will be acknowledged promptly and decisions communicated within six months of the receipt of the paper. Your name and institutional affiliation (with full mailing address and email) should appear on a separate sheet, plus a brief biographical profile of not more than six lines. The editor cannot undertake to return materials submitted, and contributors are advised to keep a copy of any material sent. Articles should be submitted in the English Language. Articles are reviewed blindly, so do not insert your name, institutional affiliation and contact information on the article itself. Instead, provide such information on a separate page. Please avoid footnotes or endnotes. Do not quote directly from the Internet without properly citing the source as you would when quoting from a book. Use substantive sources for obtaining your information and depend less on general references. If your article is accepted for publication, we will require a short (max 50-word) biography for the Notes on Contributors at the front of the volume.Length: Articles should not exceed 5,000 words.Format: Articles should be double-spaced, and should use 12pt Times New Roman.Citations: Limit your sources to the most recent, or the most important books and journals, in English. Cite works in foreign languages only when no English-language books are available. Cite websites only if they are relatively permanent and if they add important information unavailable elsewhere: give both a publication date, and an access date.Style: UK or US spellings are acceptable, but must be used consistently. Direct quotations should retain the spellings used in the original source. Check the accuracy of citations and always give the author' s surname and page number in the text, and a full reference in the Works Cited list at the end of the article. Use single inverted commas throughout except for quotes within quotes which are double. Avoid subtitles or subsection headings within the text. Italicize titles of books, plays and journals. Put in single quotes titles of short stories, journal articles and titles of poems.

“…Pre-treatment of substrates can be an important strategy that aims to improve the anaerobic process, transforming complex structures of some substrates into compounds that are more easily biodegradable for microorganisms, which may result in an increase in the rate of substrates degradation (Armah and Armah, 2017). Numerous pre-treatment approaches can be used, such as physical, thermal, chemical, biological and combined methods (Mehariya et al, 2018).…”

The management of residual flows from swine farms, such as slurry and hydrolyzate, is a serious environmental problem in Portugal, so the search for new solutions is important, especially if they can be implemented in production sites, avoiding the transport of waste. Anaerobic co-digestion can configure a sustainable method of management and valorization of these flows in swine farms, resulting in biogas to produce energy and a digestate with agronomic value. The swine hydrolyzate is the product from the elimination of swine carcasses on the farms, through a hydrolysis process. Its use in the anaerobic process wasn’t found in the literature, identifying the need to evaluate its potential. Thus, anaerobic co-digestion of swine slurry and hydrolyzate was carried out and the main purpose of this research was to find the best feeding ratio between the two substrates in batch test, focusing on biogas production. The study was developed in two phases, both under mesophilic conditions. In the first one, using 100 ml syringes, the effect of the relative proportion of substrates on the anaerobic co-digestion potential was investigated and the effect of pressure sterilization of the substrates on biogas production was verified. In the second phase, a larger scale study was carried out in a 4,500 ml digestor, ran under the conditions identified as the most favorable in the preliminary tests. The results obtained allowed us to conclude that the largest volume of accumulated biogas was obtained with the proportion of 90.9% swine slurry: 9.1% swine hydrolyzate (v/v); and that the sterilization of the substrates doesn’t constitute an effective thermal pre-treatment. The larger scale test revealed an inefficient anaerobic process due to the inhibitory effect caused by the accumulation of ammonia and volatile organic acids. However, the production yield was 606.8 LBiogas/kgVS and 431.6 LMethane/kgVS, indicating that process allowed a production of biogas and methane higher than the values cited in literature for anaerobic digestion of swine slurry. This result showed that the use of swine hydrolyzate as a co-substrate results in a better balance of nutrients, promoting a better development of microorganisms.
