| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Baobab oil is not only involved in the improvement of human medical condition, but can also highlight the possibility of improvement for severe chicken disease, creating new findings on the efficacy of baobab oil.This is noteworthy.
The layer that can support the conventional knowledge is that it may be supported by a large public subject, unlike the modern scientific knowledge base that is limited within the group of experts. Even if advanced research in universities and research institutes like Tanzania is not possible, the data groups show the possibility of "discovery" that can not be achieved in the advanced society, which is not in the advanced society that exists widely in rural areas I was able to.

低開発国の経済状況下での科学知の不確実性の中で引き起こされるその正当性の政治性を内部メカニズムの解明を明示的に明らかにすることができた。またその背景となる重要な要因として、「南」と「北」で科学的営為を遂行している研究組織の財政状況の極めて厳しい差異があることも明らかとなってきた。それとともに、政治的正当性の中で周辺にある、民衆知が温存されることによって、時に応じて、新たな科学知の動向を結びつき、新しい理解を付与される可能性があることを研究の中で示すことができた。
