Full textAnopheles mosquitoes are important vectors of human malaria, which is caused by Plasmodium parasites in the sub-Sahara. The transmission of this disease is initiated by an infectious bite of an Anopheles mosquito. The parasite undergoes massive losses during its development in the mosquito, suggesting that mosquitoes are able to mount a potent immune response against the parasite. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of mosquito-parasite interactions are not completely understood. We first established an in vitro co-culture system using a mosquito hemocyte-like cell line of A. Gambiae and chose a thioester-containing protein 1 (TEP1), which acts as an opsonin and promotes phagocytosis of bacteria by hemocytes, as a candidate to study its role in mosquito-parasite interactions. We demonstrated that the mosquito cells in the co-culture system responsed to the parasite presence by activation of general immune responses, including the induction of synthesis of antimicrobial peptides and phagocytosis. As no specific interactions between TEP1 and the ookinetes could be detected, we concluded that our in vitro model is unsuitable for TEP1 functional analysis. By using a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) silencing technique and phenotype assays, we demonstrated that the binding of TEP1 to Plasmodium parasites mediates their killing in the mosquito midgut. These results document the important role of mosquito immune responses, especially those mediated by hemocytes, in the establishment of vectorial capacity in A. Gambiae. We performed transmission electron microscopy to follow the development of P. Berghei parasites in the A. Gambiae midgut. We observed that the majority of P. Berghei ookinetes invade the mosquito midgut before complete polymerization of the peritrophic matrix. Moreover, during the invasion, ookinetes preferentially take an extracellular route to migrate across the midgut. This conclusion is important as it suggests that during midgut invasion parasites are rather facing hostile environlment of the extracellular space than the cytoplasmic milieu of the epithelial cells. We demonstrated that the previously described filamentous zone surrounding melanized parasites is composed of polymerized actin and renamed it the “actin zone”. The formation of the actin zone occurs when parasites are dead or dying, suggesting that the actin zone is not associated directly with parasite killing. The silencing of TEP1 by dsRNA abolishes the formation of the actin zone in both susceptible and refractory mosquitoes, suggesting that TEP1 could be the genetic determinant of this structure. Therefore, a model of actin-based parasite clearance is proposed: the parasite is first killed by a TEP1-dependent mechanism, and subsequently the parasite is lysed or melanized. Dead or dying parasites are recognized by epithelial cells, and the actin zone is then formed to separate the dead or dying parasites from host tissues

Full textA detailed foraminiferal profile of the Late Eocene-Early Oligocene boundary in the Gambier Limestone was investigated by local and regional biostratigraphic correlations together with foraminiferal biofacies analysis. Occurrences of important planktonic species were used to produce chronostratigraphic charts to interpret the duration of the unconformable Eocene/Oligocene boundary. Deposition of the Early Oligocene basal Gambier Limestone is coeval with the Aldinga Transgression and is characteristic of an isochronous flooding event at sequence boundary Pr4/Ru1. The Late Eocene Narrawaturk Marl, where present, correlates to the Tuit regional biofacies member, and the Late/Middle Eocene sand unit is coeval to the Tortachilla unit. Hiatuses are represented by erosional surfaces at sequence boundaries. The maximum estimated duration of the hiatus ranges from Pr1 to Pr4/Ru1 indicating an age gap of approximately 3 Ma, with the majority of samples showing a hiatus between Pr3 to Pr4/Ru4, representing a time slice of approximately 2 Ma. The unconformable Eocene/Oligocene contact therefore parallels the Chinaman Gully downcut in the St Vincent Basin, indicating a regional event coeval with and in response to the oceanic-oxygen isotopic glaciation.

Performance management is a concept in the field of human resource management and is defined as a “continuous process of identifying, measuring and developing the performance of individuals and aligning performance with the strategic goals of the organization”. Performance management system was carried out by the Human Resources Unit of Gambia Police Force several years ago; starting first with Senior Managers and trickling down to all employees at all levels within the two portfolios of The Gambia Police Force, namely, strategic and operational staff. The performance management system developed for this purpose consisted of key performance areas, strategic sets, goals and targets including the developmental needs of employees in order to improve their skills and self-development. However, there were indications that there has not been a clear strategy on the use of the results of the performance management system by the Force for decision-making purposes, such as on promotion, reward or consequences for non-achievement of targets. Moreover, there were indications of a lack of participation among employees and a lack of feedback on the results of the final performance assessment, even though mid-term feedback was provided directly for those at the supervisory level. A significant amount of time is spent every year by the Human Resources Unit of the Force on this process, however, its impacts remain questionable. For the purpose of this research, a study was conducted with the objective of evaluating the impacts of the performance management system on employee performance in The Gambia Police Force and the research questions were as follows: (1) How was the planning of performance management conducted in The Gambia Police Force? (2) What steps were followed for on- going feedback and employee input? (3) How effective was the evaluation and review of the performance management process? (4) How effective was the overall implementation of the performance management system? In order to do justice to the above research questions, a structured questionnaire, together with a number of open-ended questions were used to collect data from the employees of the Force. A purposive sampling method was used to identify study participants from both the strategic and operational staff. The study participants were sent an email with a link to a questionnaire and feedbacks from them thus received. The qualitative data was analysed using data, a text flow analysis method. The qualitative analysis of the responses shows that a significant number of participants agreed with most of the issues raised. However, the high number of respondents who indicated their disagreement (at different levels) or neutrality with regards to the issues points to the fact that there is much to be done in order to improve the impacts of performance management system in The Gambia Police Force. Regarding the implementation stage of performance management, the majority of respondents (68%) were either in disagreement or unsure about this. The qualitative analysis uncovered interesting views on all aspects of performance management system, including lack of involvement in target setting and implementation of the system and different expectations on performance outcomes. Insufficient training and lack of support on the system was found to be one of the key areas which might have resulted in a lack of trust in the system and created a condition of imbalance in relation to the whole system. The findings from this study are in line with the general notion that positive performance management systems should be highly anchored by practices and organizational contexts with certain traits. Indeed, as reported in this research, the Force needs to provide more performance management training, engage employees and lay critical emphasis on employee recognition. In this way, the performance management system will be enhanced, deliver more value and meet the desired outcomes of the organization.

Since merging the former Customs & Excise and Domestic Taxes Departments in 2004 for the purpose of maximising revenue collection and bringing economic independence and self-reliance as a country, the Gambia Revenue Authority has been performing exceptionally well and as a result, it now accounts for more than 70% of Government recurrent expenses. Though despite these improvements, there are challenges affecting revenue collection and they are; Inconvenience (overcrowded paying offices, with long queues and long waiting hours), people not knowing how much tax to pay, too busy to go and pay their taxes, people forgetting payment due dates, breakdown of communication between GRA and its customers (Taxpayers), none compliance, and fraud and corruption at collection centres. The main aim of this study is to explore the potential benefits of using information technology on tax collection in The Gambia. This study used a descriptive survey research design. Both primary and secondary data were used in this study. The primary data comprises of survey questionnaires, interview guides and the secondary data was obtained from annual reports of three Revenue Authorities (Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya) that had successfully implemented i-TAX. Interviews were conducted on five GRA staff (one auditor, an IT officer and three cashiers). The data collected was purely qualitative in nature. The study revealed that despite a high rate of percentage of registered businesses there are still few businesses operating behind the scene, and besides, a huge number of businesses pay their taxes at the end of the year. This has resulted into inconvenience (overcrowding, and long queues at paying stations) and none compliance with the manual filing system. In addition, the study discovered many business owners were willing to be notified of payment due dates. Furthermore, the study revealed disconnection between GRA and its customers (communication is GRA2C), overcrowding at paying stations, corruption (involving direct cash payments), poor record keeping, and the bad perception of the taxpayer about GRA are some of the issues affecting tax collection at GRA. The researcher was motivated by the results drawn from the study that indicates, GRA tax collection system(manual) is faced with some problems that are affecting tax collection. In conclusion, the use of Information Technology (i-TAX) such as; e-filling where taxpayers can file their tax returns online; e-payments to pay their taxes, will help enhance tax collection in the Gambia as recommended in the following ways; better Tax compliance and lower compliance cost, reduced administrative and collection costs, decreased need for personnel, time savings for taxpayers, transparency in assessment, collection, and related processes.

The research intended to determine the relationship between talent management on organisation’s performance: A look at The Gambia Police Force. The study aimed mainly at examining the relationship between talent management, career management and organisation performance. Closed or structured questionnaires were administered to make sure that all the police officers respond to the same type of questions. It is the main the main instrument used in the data collection. The sample size for this research was made up of 122 police officer: 6 Commissioner, 14 Superintendents, 15 Assistant Superintendents 39 Inspectors and 48 other ranks. Three (3) Police Regions of The Gambia were targeted namely: Banjul, Kanifing and West Coast. Data was explored using SPSS 22. Correlation coefficient was used to test for the strength of the relationship between talent management (an independent variable) and organisational performance (a dependent or outcome variable) at The Gambia Police. The results were presented in tables, mean and charts. The research has proven that talent management had positive and significant influence on The Gambia Police Force performance. It is recommended that talent management practices should be enhanced. This will contribute to better organisational performance.
