Individual and Systemic Factors of Under-five Mortality in Nigeria: A Cox Proportional Hazard Model
Authors: Ojewumi Titus Kolawole
Published: August 2023

Despite considerable efforts to reduce under-five mortality nationwide, Nigeria has fallen short of achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) target of 67 deaths per 1,000 live births by 2015. Of all the documented factors of under-five mortality, little evidence exists on the impact of systemic barriers and individual factors (maternal health-seeking behaviour) on under-five mortality in Nigeria. The study used a nationally representative sample from Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2013 dataset. The target population was 20,192 women aged 15-59 years who had given birth to 31,480 children five years before the survey. Stata software was used for data analysis. The risk of death was estimated using Cox proportional hazard models and results are presented as hazards ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Findings from the overall Model I-IV revealed individual factors (maternal health-seeking indicators) as significant factors of under-five deaths (p < 0.05). Children whose mothers received antenatal care coverage (ANC) outside health care facilities (HCF) (HR: 1.60, CI: 1.0-2.4, p < 0.05); or delivered outside HCF (HR: 1.02, CI: 0.7-1.5, p < 0.05) had elevated hazard risk of death before age five. Conversely, children who were presented for postnatal check within two weeks of delivery (HR: 0.60, CI: 0.5-0.8, p < 0.05), or delivered within the longer birth interval (HR: 0.67, CI: 0.6-0.8, p < 0.001) had significantly lower hazard risk of death before age five. As part of systemic factors, children whose mothers were covered by health insurance scheme had significantly (HR: 0.52, CI: 0.2-1.2, p < 0.001) lower risk of death when compared with their counterparts without health insurance coverage. The study emphasized the need to revitalize strategies and programs to improve women health seeking behaviour and investment in the health sector through health insurance, infrastructure, and supplies.

Published: July 2023

The diversity of fish gut microflora, heavy metals and hydrocarbon concentration of two fish species (Pseudotolithus typus and Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus) from Qua Iboe River Estuary was investigated. The total heterotrophic bacteria and fungi as well as hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria and fungi in the fish guts were abundant and ranged from 6.87 to 7.57logcfu/g, 5.68 to 5.80logcfu/g, 5.42 to 5.48 logcfu/g and 2.76 to 3.40logcfu/g respectively. The microbial counts varied among the fish species. Proteus, Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, Vibrio, Escherichia, Lactobacillus, Micrococcus and Enterobacter were the different bacterial genera encountered in the study while Penicillium sp., Aspergillus niger., Fusarium sp. and Mucor sp were the fungal species identified. The analysis of the metals showed that Zn, Cu and Fe with concentrations ranging from 0.51 to 4.20mg/kg, 3.51 to 4.11 and 1.19 to 2.04mg/kg respectively were the most abundant and were higher than the maximum permissible limits set by FEPA/WHO. The total mean PAHs and BTEX concentrations were 62.18±4.72 ng/g and 43.67±4.06 ng/g for C. nigrodigitatus, 123.52±3.11 ng/g and 211.68±3.53 ng/g for P. typus respectively which were higher than acceptable limits. Findings from this study shows poor microbiological quality thus the need for continuous monitoring of our natural waters and proper processing of aquatic foods as the present situation portends a potential concern for ecological risk.

Published: July 2023

Metformin HCl and empagliflozin are oral antidiabetic medications that help control blood sugar levels. A simple, precise, rapid, accurate, sensitive, specific, and stable RP-HPLC method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of Metformin and Empagliflozin in drug bulk form and drug dosage. This new RP-HPLC method is superior to formal reversed-phase HPLC with reduced solvent usage, retention time, resolution, and cost. Upper region separation was performed on a Waters HPLC system equipped with a PDA detector and autosampler. Both Metformin and Empagliflozin undergo stress conditions including acid, alkali, oxidative, thermal, and photodegradation, but significant degradation was observed in acid studies. The newly developed RP HPLC chromatographic method was validated for system compatibility, linearity, robustness, accuracy, and precision.

The syndrme of apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME) is an extremly. rare autosomal recessive disorder. To date, more than 100 reported cases in the medical literature world-wide. It is caused by an impairment in the enzym 11-b-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase (11-b-HSD) enzyme type 2, characterized by early onset hypertension, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, low levels of seum renin and aldosterone. The majority of patients are usually have a low birth weight and failure to thrive (FTT). Nephrocalcinosis could be present. We describe an 11.5 year old girl, who presented in early infancy with poor growth, and not until a gene study done recently, which revealed a homozygous pathogenic variant in the HSD 11B2 gene c. 622 C >Tp. (Arg208 Cys ). This is consistent with the diagnosis of AME This emphasizes the importance of genetic testing in the diagnosis of AME. A high index of suspicion required in managing such patients. Increased awarness among health care professionals is needed to avoid potential health hazards.

Published: July 2023

Potential Drug-Drug Interactions (pDDIs) possess a great risk in altering the therapeutic outcome in patients receiving multiple therapy. Monitoring the prescription and analyzing it for pDDIs before the start of therapy is the need of the hour in current clinical scenario. The present study aims to determine the prevalence of drug interactions in an outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital and also to prepare a list of common drug interactions in the study setting. A cross sectional prospective prescription chart review for 330 prescriptions was conducted at the outpatient pharmacy department of Daya General Hospital Ltd and Speciality Surgical Centre, Thrissur. Demographic variables like age, gender, number of drugs prescribed was extracted. Potential drug-drug interactions were determined using web-based drug interaction checkers. Out of 330 prescriptions screened, 286 pDDIs were observed. Out of 286 pDDIs, 54.2 % interactions should be monitored closely for any untoward effect. 22.4 % of pDDIs are of moderate severity, 18.5 % represented minor interactions, 3.5 % were major interactions and 3.5 % were of serious grade. Prevalence of pDDIs was found to be 86.7 % which is relatively high compared to a similar study (83.42 %) conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital.

La efectividad de la repetición: El caso de alumnos españoles de inglés como lengua extranjera en Educación Primaria
Authors: Lázaro Ibarrola Amparo , VILLARREAL OLAIZOLA IZASKUN
Published: July 2023

Varios estudios han mostrado que repetir la misma tarea con diferente conteni-do, lo que se denomina repetición procedimental (RP), ayuda a prestar atención a la forma y al desarrollo sintáctico. Asimismo, la RP es común y apropiada para el aula. Este experimen-to investiga los efectos de la RP en la producción de 5 parejas de niños españoles (11 años) aprendiendo inglés como lengua extranjera en un colegio y con un nivel de principiante. Las parejas construyeron y narraron tres historias, una cada semana, siguiendo un procedimiento similar. El análisis de la complejidad, precisión y fluidez de sus narraciones muestra que la RP no tiene un impacto significativo en las narraciones de los estudiantes, excepto en el caso de la diversidad léxica, que mejora en la tercera narración. A la luz de los resultados, se discuten las posibilidades de la RP con niños.
Analysis of Telecollaborative Exchanges among Secondary Education Students: Communication Strategies and Negotiation of Meaning
Authors: CLAVEL ARROITIA BEGOÑA
Published: July 2023

This study presents the analysis of a corpus of 12 telecollaborative interac-tions, recorded on video, between British and Spanish secondary education students during a telecollaborative project funded by the European Commission. The main aim is to analyse negotiation of meaning in these telecollaboration exchanges which are perceived in the liter-ature as a sign of meaningful interaction. It is essential to study instances of telecollaboration in order to identify the possible affordances in the acquisition of communicative and inter-cultural competences. Smith’s (2005) Model of Computer-Mediated Negotiated Interaction based on Varonis and Gass (1985) is employed to analyse the video interactions between Spanish and English students to find how learners deal with linguistic mistakes or any other type of communication problem during synchronous peer interaction. The results show that students employ a wide variety of strategies to negotiate meaning, while avoiding overt correction unless it is absolutely necessary to avoid communication breaking down. Skil-ful use of corrective techniques and resolving communication problems was also observed. These strategies led to fluid interactions and efficient task completion. Students were seen to readily take the initiative when tackling negotiation of meaning and correction and were pro-vided scaffolding, a task that is normally carried out by teachers in more traditional settings.

Authors: Putri Radya Cantika Suhardiman , Priyoyudanto Febri
Published: July 2023

This study aims to determine the factors underlying the occurrence of the Greco-Arabic Translation Movement, how its process takes place, how the translation transmission system works, who are the figures behind it, and what its contributions are to the advancement of philosophy. This article uses the qualitative method through library research with data sources in the form of historical books written in the Abbasid dynasty, a book titled ‘Greek Thought, Arabic Culture’ by Dimitri Gutas, and articles related to the object of research. It can be concluded that the factors underlying the occurrence of the translation movement were the conquests by the Arabs, the Abbasid Revolution and the demography of Baghdad, and the pre-Abbasid translation movement. Based in Baghdad, this project lasted from the 8th century to the 10th century AD. The translation transmission system applied is the Greco-Syriac-Arabic translation. Some of the figures who played crucial roles in this project were caliph al-Mansur, caliph Harun ar-Rashid, caliph al-Ma’mun, Hunayn ibn Ishaq, the Banu Musa brothers, and Thabit ibn Qurra. This movement birthed the philosophy study. This project contributed to the advancement of philosophy both in classical and modern eras of Arab civilization and the world.

Published: July 2023

This article discusses the Khawarij group, a group that emerged in the early history of Islam and became one of the controversial groups in the history of Islamic thought. This article aims to understand the fundamental teachings of the Khawarij group in the past and its influence today, such as the basic principles of their thinking and the dangers posed by Khawarij ideology. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a literature review, which involves gathering data from relevant primary and secondary sources related to the research topic. The results of this study indicate that the fundamental teachings of the Khawarij group in the past and its influence today share similarities in their basic principles, namely extreme thinking and rejection of thoughts outside their group. However, the Khawarij group today has various teachings and understandings. The article also concludes that a misguided understanding of the teachings of the Khawarij group can jeopardize the security and peace in the religious and social lives of the Muslim community.
Risk of Atrial Fibrillation Following Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing versus Right Ventricular Pacing and Biventricular Pacing: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Liu Bing , Dai Wenlong , Lou Yake , Li Yulin , Wu Yongquan , Du Jie
Published: August 2023

Background: Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is a relatively novel physiological pacing strategy with better electrocardiogram characteristics and pacing parameters than other pacing strategies. At present, no meta-analysis or systematic review has examined the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) after LBBP compared to other pacing strategies. Methods: We searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from inception through September 18, 2022 to identify relevant studies reporting AF incidence rates after LBBP. The incidence of AF following LBBP and that associated with other pacing strategies were extracted and summarized for the meta-analysis. We used odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) as summary estimates. Results: Five studies with 1144 participants were included. The pooled rate of AF was 3.7% (95% CI, 0.8%–8.0%) in the LBBP group and 15.5% (95% CI: 9.6%–22.4%) in the other pacing strategies (right ventricular pacing [RVP] and biventricular pacing [BVP]). Compared with other pacing strategies, LBBP was associated with a lower AF risk (OR, 0.33; 95% CI: 0.22–0.51, I2 = 0.0%; p = 0.485). Similar results were observed for LBBP when compared with RVP (OR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.22–0.51, I2 = 0.0%, p = 0.641) and BVP (OR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.01–15.22, I2 = 60.4%, p = 0.112). Conclusions: Compared with BVP and RVP, LBBP was associated with a significantly lower risk of AF. However, further large-sample randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm that LBBP is superior to other pacing strategies in reducing AF risk.

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of childhood morbidity, with an estimated prevalence of 0.8–1%. However, advances in diagnosis and treatment now allow 90% of childhood CHD patients to survive to adulthood, leading to increased interest in their quality of life (QoL). In this study, we examine the impact of clinical and psychosocial variables, including the number of surgical interventions (NSI), age at surgery, school achievement, and social support, as mediating factors of QoL in CHD patients. Methods: The study included 233 CHD patients (132 males) with an average age of 15.2 ± 2.07 years, including 80 with cyanotic CHD and 153 with acyanotic CHD. The severity of illness ranged from mild to severe, with 30 patients having a severe illness, 119 having a moderate illness, and 84 having a mild illness. One-hundred-sixty-three patients underwent surgery. Clinical data on diagnosis, the severity of CHD, the type of CHD, and surgical interventions were collected from patient records, and a semi-structured interview was conducted to explore the relationship between CHD diagnosis and various aspects of life. QoL was assessed using the Abbreviated World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-Bref) questionnaire. Results: Ten mediation models were analyzed, each with three hypotheses (paths). In all models the first hypothesis was supported. Analyses of the second and third hypotheses revealed three feasible models of mediation through the effect of NSI on QoL in CHD patients. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that patients with more severe and cyanotic CHD generally require more surgical interventions, which may increase the risk of negative outcomes and affect patients’ perception of QoL. These results have important implications for healthcare providers and psychologists who work with childhood CHD patients.

This study aimed to assess the digitalized footprint practices of selected hotels in the Philippines towards the implementation of a safe travel experience among prospective and regular tourists in the city and country. Moreover, it sought to determine whether there is a significant relationship between the perceived digitalized tourism experience and the commonness of availing services in the selected establishment in implementing a safe travel experience. The researchers used the Quantitative method to quantify data and generalize results from a sample of a target population. It involved one hundred (100) respondents consisting of customers and employees of the selected hotels in Taguig City. Convenience Sampling was used on this research; therefore, participants were chosen based on their availability and willingness to participate. The statistical test that was used in this research is Pearson Correlation Coefficient. This test was designed to determine the relationship or association between an independent variable (categorical data – Frequency of availing services in the establishment) and dependent variable/s (3 digitalized tourism experiences). Based on the result, it is concluded that there is a significant relationship between the respondents’ perceived digitalized tourism experience and the commonness of availing services in the selected establishment in implementing safe travel experience.

We mined published RNA-sequencing and multiplexed gene expression data (4, 5), comparing primary and brain metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the CNS. We found that the T-cell receptor (TCR) CD3 zeta chain, encoded by CD247, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Multiplexed gene expression data (5) revealed conserved differential expression of CD247 in CNS metastasis in patients with lung cancer. CD247 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in metastasis to the brain in humans with breast cancer. Expression of CD247 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall and recurrence-free survival. Modulation of CD247 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with cancer of the lung and breast.
How Does Stock Market React to Dividend Announcement? An Empirical Evidence from Tanzania Listed Firms
Authors: Lotto Josephat
Published: July 2023

This paper aimed at examining the reaction of corporate stock return on dividend announcement for listed firms in Dar Es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) between 2010 and 2019. The study employed the event study methodology to assess the impact of the information on the stock return. The results clearly show that the effect of dividend announcement on the stock return is positive around the announcement date, and that the stock price moves up as long as the announcement date approaches and then starts decreasing from this date onwards. This immediately confirms the consequence of dividend announcement, that the effect of dividend announcements is consistent with the informational content of the dividend hypothesis as well as with dividend signaling models. Clearly, the results of this study support the dividend relevance theory in which the dividend policy affects the firm value. Particularly, the findings would enhance current understandings of the dividend policy impact on the firm value, and this may allow financial managers to be able to determine an optimal dividend policy which improves the performance of the firms. Furthermore, the study encourages investors to benefit from dividend announcement as a guide towards buying and selling stocks to avoid unnecessary trading losses.

TOXIC PARENTING TERHADAP PERKEMBANGAN ANAK DALAM PERSPEKTIF Al-QUR’AN (Studi Kitab Tafsi̅r Wa Khawa̅tir al-Ima̅m Karya Syaikh Muḥammad Mutawalli̅ As-Sya’ra̅wi̅)
Authors: Padilah Nurul
Published: July 2023

Secara bahasa Parenting berasal dari bahasa Inggris, dari kata Parent yang berarti Orang tua.“Toxic Parents” ini sesungguhnya secara dominan merupakan bagian dari kasus yang terjadi dalam lingkup “Tarbiyatul Aula̅d (تربية الأولاد) / Pendidikan Anak”. Toxic parent adalah orang tua yang melakukan tindakan-tindakan yang menyakiti jiwa anak. Sedangkan toxic parenting merupakan pola pengasuhannya. Jadi dalam arti lain, toxic parent adalah subjek yang melakukan tindakan toxic, yaitu orang tua. Sedangkan toxic parenting adalah predikat yang mengandung unsur toxic, yaitu pola pengasuhannya. Jenis penelitian dalam skripsi ini adalah studi kepustakaan (Library Research). Sumber data primer dalam penelitian ini adalah Tafsir Wa Khawa̅tir Al-Ima̅m. Sedangkan sumber sekunder yang digunakan adalah buku-buku dan bahan bacaan yang relevan dengan tema penelitian ini. Adapun kesimpulan yang penulis peroleh dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa Toxic Parenting merupakan pola pengasuhan yang kurang tepat yang dapat menimbulkan dampak-dampak negative untuk anak. Al-Quran ingin memberikan pesan melalui kisah tersebut dalam kitab tafsir wa khawa̅tir al-Ima̅m karya Muḥammad Mutawalli̅ asy-Sya’ra̅wi̅. Bagaimana seharusnya interaksi antara orang tua dan anak yang terdapat pada QS. Aṣ-Ṣāffāt [37]: 102, QS. Luqma̅n [31]: 12-14, QS. Al-Isra̅’ [17]: 23, dan QS. Al-Isra̅' [17]: 82. Al-Quran memaparkannya melalui cuplikan percakapan antara orang tua dan anak yang sangat bertolak belakang dengan kebanyakan perilaku orang tua saat ini.
Academic Supervision and Professional Performance of State High School Teachers
Authors: Prasetia Indra
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of academic supervision and best practices in the implementation of academic supervision in Public High School, Sumatera Utara Province. Indonesia. Academic supervision is a set of activities designed to help teachers develop their ability to manage the learning process in the classroom. The results of this study indicate that in order to implement effective supervision, the supervisor must be able to choose the best practice to be applied. The academic supervision techniques implemented are individual supervision techniques and group supervision techniques. The individual supervision techniques implemented are: 1) classroom visits, 2) classroom observations, 3) individual meetings, 4) inter-classroom visits and 5) self-assessment. Group techniques are implemented by involving a number of teachers in solving problems, talking and discussing together with the supervisors. The implementation of academic supervision at Public High School, includes (1) the planning stage with activities to prepare a schedule for the implementation of supervision, an evaluation program, a follow-up program for the results of the evaluation of supervision, the preparation of administrative documents, (2) the implementation stage, (3) the evaluation stage of the results of supervision, (4) the follow-up stage.

The Politics of Right and Wrong: Moral Appeals in Political Communication over Six Decades in Ten Western Democracies
Authors: Simonsen Kristina Bakkær , Widmann Tobias
Published: August 2023

Recent research has shed light on the potentially polarizing and radicalizing consequences of heightening moral concerns in politics. Yet, despite the serious implications for the health of democracy, we know surprisingly little about the political room for manoeuvre in the moral domain. We identify three unresolved questions concerning the political uses of morality and employ a novel multilingual transformer model in a large corpus of political text from ten Western democracies over six decades to answer them. We show, first, that political parties have increased their use of moral appeals over time; second, that the tendency to moralize is not ideologically patterned; and third, that there is considerable variation over time in the degree to which presumably ‘moral’ and ‘non-moral’ topics are cast in moral language. These results show that morality is a dynamic rhetorical tool rather than a fixed and stable property of political communication.

Family-Centered Positive Behavior Support on Children with ADHD: A Literature Review
Authors: Thalia Nita
Published: July 2023

Family-centered positive behavior support (FCPBS) has drawn widespread research interest in the field of children with developmental disabilities; most research has used positive behavior support (PBS) to reduce problem behaviors in children with autism or other more severe developmental disabilities, but few of them focus on the effects of FCPBS on children with ADHD. This paper presents a comprehensive introduction to attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and family-centered positive behavior support. We then focus on existing research on FCPBS and related references in children with developmental disabilities to explore future directions and conclude this paper.

Authors: Ming Chen Sheng
Published: July 2023

Generalized Information Theory opens a new research perspective, revealing deep connections between the universe, black holes, and information systems. Based on the innovative concept of Holonic number, it establishes an interactive framework between information fields, data fields, and time fields, and introduces the Energy-Information exchange equations to describe the transformation between information and energy. With Generalized Information Theory, we can delve into novel models such as Tropical Geometry Time Network Model, the Universe Sea Model, Information Hierarchical Tensor Model, and understand physical phenomena, such as the properties and behaviors of black holes, in a new way.
Context, Perception, Production: A Model of Vocal Persona
Authors: Noufi Camille , May Lloyd , Berger Jonathan
Published: July 2023

We present a contextualized production-perception model of vocal persona based on a deductive thematic analysis of interviews with voice and performance experts. The model formalizes how the vocal persona frames and bounds expressive vocal interactions (both biological and synthesized), and centers a person's agency over their communicative role. This article provides insights into opportunities for improvement in Voice User Interfaces (VUI) and Augmentative \& Assistive Communications (AAC) technologies based on the study's results. The proposed contextualized production-perception model fills an important gap in the literature on expressive and interactive speech technologies by identifying a key missing mechanism in contextualized vocal communication models and providing a resource for more nuanced approaches to expressive speech synthesis methods. Incorporating vocal persona into expressive vocal synthesis has the potential to significantly enhance the level of agency and embodiment experienced by VUI and AAC users during communication, resulting in a heightened sense of authenticity and an improved relationship with their environment.

Published: July 2023

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are crucial for advancing research; yet, they are time-consuming and resource-demanding. Although machine learning and natural language processing algorithms may reduce this time and these resources, their performance has not been tested in the field of education and educational psychology, and there is a lack of clear information on when researchers should stop the reviewing process. In this study, we conducted a retrospective screening simulation using 27 systematic reviews in education and educational psychology. We evaluated the recall, work saved over sampling, and the estimated time savings of several active learning screening algorithms and heuristic stopping criteria. The results showed on average a 50% (SD = 20%) reduction in screening workload when using active learning algorithms for abstract screening and an estimated time savings of 1.64 days (SD = 1.78). The learning algorithm Random Forests with Sentence Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers outperformed other algorithms—a finding that emphasizes the importance of incorporating semantic and contextual information during feature extraction and modeling in the screening process. Furthermore, we found that 95% of all relevant abstracts within a given dataset can be retrieved using heuristic stopping rules. Specifically, an approach that stops the screening process after consecutively classifying 7% of irrelevant papers yielded the most significant gains in terms of works savings over sampling (M = 41%, SD = 26%). However, the performance of the heuristic stopping criteria depended on the active learning algorithm used, the length and the proportion of relevant papers in a database. Overall, our study provides empirical evidence on the performance of machine learning screening algorithms for abstract screening in systematic reviews in education and educational psychology.
