Abstract

This dissertation looks at the differences between scientific knowledge and other types, like philosophical, experiential, and traditional knowledge. It focuses on the guidelines and structures that separate these systems. Using methods like interviews, surveys, and a review of relevant literature, the study shows that scientific knowledge relies on evidence and repeatability, while other types of knowledge value personal experience, context, and cultural importance. Important findings reveal that healthcare workers often appreciate combining different types of knowledge to improve patient care, suggesting a move toward a more complete approach. These findings are significant because they could shape healthcare practices that honour various types of knowledge, leading to a better understanding of patient needs and wishes. Moreover, the study has wider relevance for health policy and education, promoting the inclusion of different perspectives in medical training and practice. By encouraging communication between scientific and non-scientific knowledge systems, the research highlights the importance of cultural awareness and the need for flexible healthcare models that respect and integrate various forms of knowledge. This could ultimately enhance healthcare results and create a more inclusive approach to patient care.

Abstract

This paper looks at how religious affiliations and beliefs affect how people vote and which parties they support in the 2024 general elections in Ghana. It focuses on the important role that religious groups play in determining electoral results. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative data. It includes surveys that measure voter preferences, interviews with well-known religious leaders, and a thorough analysis of election results based on religious demographics. The outcomes show that many voters base their choices on their religious beliefs, which greatly influences their party support and voting rates. Importantly, religious leaders are found to be major influencers, rallying backing for certain candidates and parties. This highlights the need for political groups to work with religious organizations in a strategic manner. These findings are especially relevant in the context of healthcare, as voter choices driven by religious beliefs can shape health policy goals and funding decisions. By shedding light on the connection between religion and election politics, this study not only deepens understanding of electoral behaviours in Ghana but also encourages a review of health policy frameworks that may be influenced by these political connections. Therefore, the research could improve political strategies, guiding healthcare advocates and policymakers on how important religious beliefs are in forming public opinion and health-related political goals.

Abstract

This work dives into the many layers of witchcraft, oracles, and magic that shape Azande society, a theme first explored by E. E. Evans Pritchard. It isn’t just about abstract ideas; rather, the study shows how these practices mingle with everyday life and help settle disputes in unexpected ways. Using a mix of ethnographic fieldwork, first-hand documents, and historical narratives, the research doesn’t simply list evidence but paints a picture of practical community tools, sometimes overlapping in purpose. Generally speaking, the beliefs in witchcraft and reliance on oracles not only explain misfortune but also serve to knit the community together, regulating social interactions in a very tangible way. There’s also a notable impact on healthcare; these cultural practices influence how illness and healing are understood, leading to a kind of dual approach where traditional remedies coexist with modern medicine, even if the blend isn’t always seamless. In most cases, this mix offers valuable insights not only for anthropologists but also for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers interested in the deep cultural roots of health and sickness among indigenous populations. Recognizing these long-held beliefs in daily life means that interventions might be better tailored to fit the cultural context of patients, ultimately fostering improved outcomes and promoting culturally competed care. Overall, the study sparks cross-disciplinary conversations about the interplay of culture and health, underlining the need for frameworks that truly value traditional practices alongside contemporary medical approaches.
