Authors: Fonkwo Jacqueline , Besong Micheal , Ngong Justin , Glazier Alexander , Talawa Drusilla , Alio Amina
Published: August 2023

Background

The ongoing armed conflict in the two English-speaking regions of Cameroon, named the “Anglophone crisis”, has had a deleterious impact on the health and wellbeing of the populations inhabiting these regions, especially adolescents and youth, but there is sparse evidence on the effect of the crisis on adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health (SRH). This study aimed to describe the effects of the crisis on adolescent SRH and identify stakeholder recommendations for strategies to address the SRH of youth in their crisis-impacted communities.

Methods

This was a secondary analysis of qualitative data collected during discussion forums with 316 community stakeholders, including parents (n=63), youths (n=81), religious leaders (29), neighborhood leaders (n=23), secondary school teachers (n=28), health professionals (n=37), pharmacists (n=5), local drug vendors (n=13), media representatives (n=12), and non-governmental organization representatives (n=29), in Bamenda, northwest region, Cameroon. A total of 12 homogenous discussion groups of 5 to 41 participants in each were conducted between May and July 2020. Session recordings were transcribed and then analyzed using Dedoose qualitative data management software and a text analysis approach.

Results

The results indicate that the crisis led to internal displacements and idleness among adolescent and youth, which increased their social and economic vulnerabilities, including to sexual violence and transactional sex. Resulting SRH effects were unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted Infections, unsafe abortions, maternal mortality, and psychosocial distress. Community stakeholders recommended that strategies to improve adolescent and youth SRH outcomes in these conflict-hit regions focus on spreading information about SRH, providing SRH services, and addressing issues of idleness.

Conclusions

The armed conflict in the Northwest region of Cameroon has had consequences on adolescent and youth’s adverse SRH outcomes, such as unintended pregnancies, transactional sex, rapes, unsafe abortions, and maternal death. The findings of this study highlight the importance of raising awareness on SRH risks of adolescents and youth and the necessity of adopting a community approach in developing interventions and policies to improve adolescent and youth SRH in regions affected by armed conflicts.

Authors: Abdul Kareem Ekhlas A. , E. Sultan Alaa , M. Oraibi Hadeel
Published: August 2023

In the current century, nanotechnology has gained great interest due to its ability to modify the size of metals to the nanoscale, which dramatically changes the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of metals relative to their bulk counterparts. The approaches used to create nanoparticles (NPs) are physical, و chemical and وbiological. The shortcomings in physical and chemical synthesis approaches, such as the generation of toxic by-products, and energy consume as they require high temperature, pressure, power and lethal chemicals, contributed to an increased interest in biological synthesis by plants. Scientists have created a new filed called as "green nanotechnology" by fusing the idea of sustainability with nanotechnology. By substituting plant-based materials, it aims to reduce the amount of chemicals used in the manufacture of nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) attract the most attention due to their great stability and low chemical reactivity in comparison to other metals. The present review describes the fabrication of nanoparticles (NPs) via chemical and physical methods, as well as the use of plants, bacteria, and fungi. The current review also discusses certain analytical methods used to examine AgNPs, including UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, AFM, XRD, DLS, and zeta potential analysis

Background: Knowledge is said to determine a behavioral change as well as the practice of good health. Was the knowledge of COVID-19 able to bring about positive behavioral changes and practices among the populace? This study assessed the knowledge of COVID-19, the practice of preventive measures as well as their predictors. Methodology: Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data on knowledge of COVID-19 and the practice of WHO COVID-19 preventive measures. Data were analyzed using IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Categorical data were analyzed and reported as means, standard deviation, and frequency. Binary logistic regression was done to determine predictors. Results: Nine out of ten participants knew that a virus caused COVID-19 and that it could be transmitted by close contact; however, 3% felt it was a spiritual attack. Most participants knew COVID-19 is transmittable through talking (83.2%), coughing (95%), sneezing (93.2%), and directly through contaminated surfaces. Over 80% knew the most common symptoms of fever, cough, and fatigue. One-third of participants knew a change or loss of taste and smell are less severe symptoms and that the inability to speak or complete a sentence is a severe symptom. Though, 7 out of 10 participants knew all the preventive measures for COVID-19, a third was not practicing physical distancing. Age group, education, tribe, and religion were predictors of COVID-19 knowledge and that of practice was age group. Conclusion: Though many participants had good knowledge of COVID-19, etiology, transmission, and prevention, the knowledge about common symptoms and the severity of associated symptoms was poor. Their knowledge did not translate to practice because only 4 out of 10 practiced preventive measures.

Published: August 2023

Fracture energy is regarded as an intrinsic (material) properties that dominates crack mechanisms and associated crack growth in concrete damage under applied stress. In recent times, significant advancements in computing technology have driven the adoption of finite element analysis (FEA) methodologies that necessitate the integration of constitutive models, includingthe traction-separation relationship derived from cutting-edge fracture mechanics. A physically-based model requires fracture energy values; therefore, a properly measured fracture energy value is essential to exhibit better structure response within FEA models. There are large arrays of parameters involved during the concrete mixture, such as beam size effect, aggregate size, and concrete grade, that affect the flexural resistance of the concrete. The fracture and failure in concrete ahead of the crack tip are represented by fracture energy values where micro-damage events such as interfacial failure, fiber-bridging, and matrix cracking occurred.This study aims to determinethe fracture energy of concrete specimens with combination of notch depth aoat mid-span, design concrete strength as specified in the testing series. Independent compression strength, fcand measured load-displacement profiles underathree-point bendingtest were used to determine fracture energy by incorporating three available fracture energy expressions such as Bazant, Hillerborg,and CEB-FIP models.

Severalmetrics in the supply chain performance assessment system cannot be uncovered by merely putting a strategy into action. Meanwhile, the balanced scorecard strategynecessitates the incorporation of numerous measures derived from the implementation of strategies,ultimately guidingthe business towardits long-term orientation. The same is true for evaluating the effectiveness of a supply chain. The Business Service Chain (BSC)takes three viewpoints of the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR)and expands them into four: financial, customer, internal business, and innovation and learning. Both the SCORand BSC methods can be utilized to implement a sustainable supply chain management system. These two methodswereemployed to solve supply chain issues in the constructionindustry. BSC aimed to compensate forSCOR’s limited focus on performance by considering two angles—those of internal business operations and customers. When compared to SCOR, BSC’s uniformity in the supply chain allowedfor more adaptable metrics when resizing; more applicable models, encompassingall processes;and easier performance monitoring; all through the utilization ofvarious metrics.

Risk management is critical for any organisation to manage risk appropriately, as an undesirable risk event can have a huge negative impact on finances. Poor risk management leads to uncertain business performance or in the worst-case scenario, the collapse of the business. Sound risk management requires that the elements of risk in the business are considered before a decision is made. It is also important to know how the risk can be mitigated if it occurs, who is responsible for managing the risk, whether the likelihood and severity of the risk should be reduced or the risk should be avoided and transferred to others. This can help organisations to carry out the necessary assessments and analysis to understand the extent of their risk exposure and then plan mitigation measures. This paper highlights the importance of the Diagnostic Risk Management System (DRMS) as a lifesaver for organisations. Scholars, experts and practitioners generally agreed that DRMS reflects a company's image and subsequently reduces opportunities for fraud. DRMS is a user-friendly system that helps companies manage and view overall risk and find appropriate solutions to mitigate individual risks. DRMS focuses on the overall risk, especially on the risk assessment of financial reporting. DRMS is suitable for companies to create a competitive but healthy business environment that is free from destructive elements such as corruption, fraud and white-collar crime. This in turn ensures the creation of wealth for the business environment in Malaysia.
Sejarah Idealisme di Tuban: Melacak Eksistensi Idealisme Islam Modernis Tahun 1474-1530
Authors: Mukti M Aziz
Published: August 2023

Currently, studies relating to the Islamization process in Indonesia need to be increased in terms of quantity, this aims to support the development of the Islamization process that is currently taking place in Indonesia. At this stage studies related to the early history of the Islamization process in Indonesia are urgently needed, especially to provide enthusiasm and motivation for Muslims in Indonesia to always try to improve their Islam. This is due to the fact that when reflecting on history, the struggle of the Ulama at the beginning of the arrival of Islam in Indonesia was full of challenges, especially when the effective process of Islamization was carried out only when mixing several local traditions into the process of preaching, this caused a lot of cultural acculturation. In the development of several cultural acculturations by several groups it was considered that there were elements of khuparat or even heresy in it. Even so, at the beginning of the preaching of Islam, there were several groups of scholars who still tried to preach Islam by adhering to the principles of Shari'a and Aqeedah and only slightly incorporating elements of local traditions as an adaptive form which today is often also called the modernist group, as manifested in the application of syar'i tasawuf. In connection with the application of syar'i tasawuf, some evidence can be found which illustrates the application of syar'i tasawuf in several areas, such as one in Tuban Regency. Through this evidence, this research seeks to examine the existence of this Muslim group as a form of learning from the struggles of the Ulama in the early era of the arrival of Islam in Indonesia

The paper presents the results of the research aimed at developing a functional model of an enhanced organization structure to effectively manage teaching and learning processes at higher education establishments. The new design features the multifunctional student center (MFC) in Moscow City University, with management based on two basic principles: on the one hand, process approach to management and, on the other hand, delegating decision-making functions to lower-level employees. The main focus in the MFC administration policy is made on engaging the staff in the processes of digital transformation which indicates a sea change in traditional patterns of educational administration. The new administration model is described in terms of the queuing theory, reinforced by statistical analysis of empirical data: volume and value figures characterizing administrative processes aimed at supporting learning activities. The criteria of effective management are defined, the working hours spent on support activities are calculated. The results can be used in employee target-setting strategies: for individuals, units and departments. The new model of administrating educational activities, developed in MCU, might be implemented in other educational institutions.
Measuring protest through news articles: A validation approach for manual and semi-supervised methods using government data
Authors: Erfort Cornelius
Published: August 2023

Protests are an important and well researched aspect of political behavior, making measurement validity crucial. But protests can be difficult to observe. Most studies use newspapers for event coding, introducing a selection bias. Validation usually involves comparing different newspapers or using independent sources. I benchmark a manually and a partly automatically coded dataset from the PolDem project against a large government dataset covering all extreme right demonstrations in Germany from 2005 to 2020. Coverage in newspapers mainly depends on region and size. Machine learning can provide a good estimate about the possible misdetection of events. The results have important implications for the study of protests. Researchers should carefully assess the advantages and shortfalls of media-based datasets.

The ‘dishonesty’ of culture and the feminist ‘honesty’ in Elena Ferrante’s The Lying Life of Adults
Authors: Yakushkina T. V.
Published: August 2023

The article discusses the latest novel by one of the most celebrated contemporary writers (who may have been intentionally mystifying their audiences): Elena Ferrante. In her analysis of The Lying Life of Adults [La vita bugiarda degli adulti], the critic offers a consecutive examination of Ferrante’s take on such problems as coming of age, national identity, socio-cultural stratification and, finally, the problem of falsehood, treatment of which defines the novel’s narrative. In Ferrante’s interpretation, the story of the protagonist Giovanna logically follows from the dishonesty of culture and religion. However, the critic argues that this ideological charge kills the novel, turning an overall masterly psychological tale of a teenage girl’s coming of age into a platform for a feminist jab at culture. The only redeeming quality that balances off the plot’s ideological dictate, something immediately associated with the literature of social realism in the mind of a Russian reader, is the image of the narrator, whose consciousness is depicted by Ferrante to be more nuanced and psychologically convincing than the heroine’s radicalism.

شهدت التكنولوجيا في العصر الحدث تطور ملحوظ حتى وصلت إلى ثورة جديدة كان لها اثرها على مناحي الحياة المختلفة، وهي ثورة تكنولوجيا المعلومات، أو ما يسمى بالعصر الإلكتروني، وقد حققت هذه الثورة رقيًا وتقدمًا إنسانيًا في معظم جوانب الحياة ومجالاتها المختلفة، إلا أنه من جانب آخر رافق هذه الانجازات العلمية ظهور أنماط جديدة من الجرائم، لم تكن معروفة من قبل، تسمى بالجرائم الإلكترونية التي قد يتعذر إثباتها دون الدليل العلمي الذي يساعد في كشف الجريمة. لذلك، تحولت الجريمة من نمطها التقليدي إلى أنماط مستحدثة، حيث استفاد محترفو الإجرام من الوسائل المتقدمة والتقنية الحديثة المتطورة في ارتكاب جرائمهم، فالمجرم بات يعمل قبل إقدامه على نشاطه الإجرامي على التفكير في أسلوب لا يترك آثار تدل عليه وعدم وقوعه تحت طائلة القانون والعقاب، ولذلك يحاول المجرم بشتى الطرق أن يخفي أو يعبث بالدليل الذي يثبت ارتكابه الجريمة أو نسبتها إليه وهذا ما استدعى مواجهة هذا النوع من الجرائم فقد سارع المشرع الإماراتي في تجريم العبث بالأدلة الرقمية التي تساعد في الوصول إلى الجاني وتمكين السلطات المختصة من اتخاذ الإجراءات وضبط المتهمين وتقديمهم للعدالة. فالأدلة الرقمية تُعد من أبرز تطورات العصر الحديث جاءت لتلائم الثورة العلمية في عصرنا الحالي. لذا تناولنا في هذه الدراسة ماهية الدليل الرقمي وبيان خصائصه، ومن ثم بينان أركان جريمة العبث بالأدلة الرقمية التي جرمها المشرع الإماراتي في نص المادة 18 من المرسوم بقانون اتحادي رقم (34) لسنة 2021 في شأن مكافحة الشائعات والجرائم الإلكترونية.
رهن المنقول المعنوي في الفقه الإسلامي: دراسة فقهية تأصيلية
Authors: القسايمه معن "محمد علي" سلامه
Published: August 2023

يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة الكيفية التي يتم بها رهن المنقول المعنوي وفقًا لقواعد الرهن المنظَّمة في الفقه الإسلامي. فوفقًا لهذه القواعد يقع على عاتق المدين الراهن التزام بنقل حيازة الشيء المرهون إلى الدائن المرتهن، فيبقى ذلك الشيء المرهون تحت حيازة الدائن المرتهن كضمان لحقه لدى الراهن. وحيث أنّ الفقهاء المسلمين مجمعون على أن يتم تسليم الشيء محل الرهن للدائن المرتهن، ونظّموا التسليم تنظيمًا مفصّلًا من خلال قاعدة معروفة لديهم تعرف ب "القبض في عقد الرهن"، إلّا أنّ التسليم الذي تمّ تنظيمه يقع على المنقول المادي فقط، دون المنقول المعنوي، وذلك لحداثة المنقول المعنوي. فالمنقول المعنوي، كالعلامة التجارية والمحل التجاري وغيرهما، لم يكن معروفًا في الوقت الذي نظّم به الفقهاء المسلمون القبض في عقد الرهن. لذا، يظهر لدينا تساؤل عن كيفية تسليم (قبض) المنقول المعنوي من المدين الراهن إلى الدائن المرتهن، إذ أنّ هذا المنقول هو في الحقيقة شيء معنوي وليس مادّي فلا يمكن تسليمه. تأتي هذه الدراسة لتبيان مدى قدرة القواعد الفقهية التي نظّمها الفقهاء المسلمون في عقد الرهن بشكل عام، وفي القبض بشكل خاص، على استيعاب وتنظيم المنقول المعنوي كمحل لعقد الرهن. وتخلص الدراسة إلى نتيجة مهمّة مفادها أنّ قواعد الرهن الواردة في أمهات الكتب في الفقه الإسلامي لم تنظّم القبض الذي يقع على المنقول المعنوي. بل إنّ قواعد القبض الواردة في الفقه الإسلامي غير كافية وغير مرنة لتشمل هذا النوع من المنقولات الذي ظهر حديثًا ولم يكن موجودًا سابقًا. غير أنّ النصوص الواردة في القرآن الكريم والسنة النبوية الشريفة والتي اعتمد عليها الفقهاء المسلمون في تنظيم القبض هي ذاتها تتسع لتشمل تنظيمًا كافيًا ووافيًا لرهن المنقول المعنوي، إذ أنّ الآيات القرآنية الكريمة هي ذاتها تبيّن أنّ التوثيق الكتابي يغني عن القبض، وهذا ما لم يورده الفقهاء من قبل.
Reasons and Results of the 28th Defense order in Jordan under the Coronavirus Pandemic

Published: August 2023

The aim of this study is to investigate the rationale behind Defense Order Number 28 in response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its impact on the legal rights of creditors. The study employed an analytical methodology, examining the defense orders, local laws, international conventions, and court decisions. The main findings of the study indicate that the Jordanian case appears to favor debtors, as it allowed for the postponement of imprisonment from March 2020 until the end of December 2022, without offering adequate solutions to protect the rights of creditors. The only recourse given to creditors was the option to request the competent judicial authority to prevent the debtor from leaving the country. On an international level, the study reveals that Defense Order Number 28 was implemented to meet Jordan's international obligations. However, this order contradicts a fundamental principle of Civil law, which is to support and uphold the rights of the right holder. By prohibiting the creditor from employing essential means to claim their rights from the debtor, the order undermines the creditor's position. In conclusion, the study suggests that Jordan is in the process of abolishing imprisonment sentences in civil and commercial transactions, yet it does not provide adequate solutions to safeguard the rights of creditors during this transition.

Authors: Saralar-Aras Ipek
Published: August 2023

Currently, teaching with technology has become crucial. This case study investigated the beliefs and goals of four middle school mathematics teachers regarding a dynamic mathematics software: GeoGebra. The participants of the study were four mathematics teachers working in public middle schools in Turkey. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews, lesson observations and perceived technology, pedagogy and content knowledge surveys. Data analysis revealed a consensus on GeoGebra’s usefulness in teaching units that link geometry and algebra. Most of the participants integrated GeoGebra to provide students with an explorative environment in which students were supported with feedback. Teachers’ goals of using the software were found to be providing visual representations, facilitating students’ learning, increasing students’ engagement, as well as decreasing their workload and saving time. Moreover, teachers listed several challenges such as classroom management and lesson planning. Despite the challenges they faced, teachers were willing to integrate the software into their lessons. Therefore, complementary workshops were seemed to be necessary to overcome these challenges. These workshops might aim at providing the necessary 21st-century competencies for mathematics teachers to integrate the software into their lessons effectively.

Önceki çalışmamızda, AKH’nun sıçanlara intraperitoneal uygulanmasından sonra diğer çalışmalarla desteklendiği şekilde piroglutamil peptidleri içeren AKH metabolitlerinin kan-beyin bariyerini geçtiğini hipotez ettik.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada, iki piroglutamil peptidin öğrenme-bellek üzerine etkisini modifiye yükseltilmiş artı labirent testinde (mYAL) ve pasif sakınma testinde hem naif farelerde hem de skopolaminle indüklenen bellek bozukluğu üzerine etkisini incelemeyi amaçladık. Skopolamin (1 mg/kg) ile piroglutamil peptid olarak piroglutamik asid-valin (pGlu-Val; 10 ve 20 mg/kg), piroglutamik asid-lösin (pGlu-Leu; 10 ve 20 mg/kg) kullandık.

Bulgular: mYAL testinde dipeptidlerin naif farelerde geçiş süresi-2 üzerine anlamlı etkisi yoktu. Skopolamin kısmi olarak ikinci denemede geçiş süresi-2’yi artırırken, bu etki pGlu-Leu (10 ve 20 mg/kg; p

The School Literacy Movement is a program from the Ministry of Education and Culture. As the general aim of the School Literacy Movement is to develop the character of students through cultivating the school literacy ecosystem which is manifested in the School Literacy Movement so that they become lifelong learners. The School Literacy Movement program is implemented through 3 stages, namely the habituation stage, the development stage, and the learning stage. Currently, students' literacy skills are still low. This can be seen from the activities of students who prefer playing gadgets rather than reading books or other reading. In addition, students tend to ask questions before reading, even though the things asked have been given complete information. Therefore, students' interest in reading needs to be increased, one of which is by developing a school literacy movement. Literacy ability is one of the competencies that students must have in the 21st century and will later be tested in the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM). Therefore, in community service activities we want to foster a positive culture of fond of reading through the literacy movement in schools. With the above background we are interested in doing community service entitled: Smart Village "Let's Open a Window on the World by Reading Books"

Keywords: Smart Village, Window on the World, Reading Books.

The article provides a comprehensive assessment of the state and trends of the labor market in Ukraine and the Cherkasy region. The general situation in the labor market of Ukraine and the Cherkasy region in 2015-2022 has been considered. General and special indicators of population employment, unemployment, demand and supply of labor force have been studied. The analysis has been carried out according to the articles of the section, professional groups and areas of employment. It has been established that forced migration and the need to relocate enterprises due to hostilities have changed the structure of the labor market in Ukraine, the structure of supply and demand for jobs, and the saturation of specialists in the regions. In the regions most affected by the military aggression of the russian federation, the number of jobs and competition has decreased. The imbalance between the demand and supply of labor has become significant. Demand for labor has plummeted due to the inability to work in war zones, declining demand for goods and services and logistical problems and uncertainty about the future. The results of the analysis of the number of unemployed indicate that both in the Cherkasy region and in Ukraine as a whole, the number of people who could not realize their right to work and receive wages (remuneration) as a source of livelihood is growing. In 2019-2021, it was affected by the self-isolation regime, and in 2022 by military operations. It has been determined that the level of registered unemployment in the Cherkasy region in 2015-2021 was always higher than in the whole country. The ratio between the number of registered unemployed, the number of vacancies and the number of applicants for one vacancy, by type of economic activity as of January 1, 2023 in the Cherkasy region has been established. In addition to that the authors have established a change in the approach to hiring employees. More applicants for one vacancy allow employers to increase the requirements for applicants and reduce wages. Accordingly, a certain number of employees are ready to change their profession, find additional work, and accept lower wages. As we can see, there are signs of an employer-dominated labor market. Measures to stabilize the internal labor market at the state and regional levels have been proposed. Further on, the paper identifies trends that Ukrainians should expect on the labor market in the coming years. Finally, the authors specify industries and professions that will be in the list of high demand jobs in future and whose development will help the Ukrainians to adapt to changes and find themselves in a professional realization to restore or the restore the state after the victory.

Published: August 2023

Adolescents are often considered more susceptible to online gaming addiction than adults due to their inclination towards novel experiences in pursuit of personal pleasure. However, this addiction can lead to significant health risks, notably insomnia. This study aims to elucidate the prevalence of insomnia among high school students addicted to online games, employing an analytic survey method with a cross-sectional design. The research population consisted of students of State Senior High School in East Luwu the province of South Sulawesi. A sample size of 246 individuals was determined using proportionate stratified random sampling.

The research findings reveal that a majority of adolescents engage in mobile gaming for a duration of ≥ 1 hour per day (67.0%). The most frequently played online game is identified as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (32.5%). Online gaming addiction among adolescents falls predominantly within the severe criteria (73.2%), paralleling the severity of insomnia experienced (72.4%). A significant association between insomnia and online gaming addiction among high school adolescents is established (_p_ = 0.026). It is recommended that educational institutions establish peer educators tasked with promoting awareness regarding the adverse impacts of online gaming addiction among fellow students. By fostering literacy on this subject, schools can contribute to a healthier and more balanced gaming behavior among adolescents.
