Published: November 2023

Diabetes is a clinical syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia due to absolute or relative insulin deficiency. Lack of awareness about diabetes contributes to a more significant extent to the development of its complications. Self-care encompasses lifestyle modifications, medication-taking behavior, self-monitoring of blood glucose, and foot care. The study aimed to analyze the level of knowledge, attitude, and self-care practice toward type 2 diabetes mellitus and to determine the knowledge versus practice gap among the patients. A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted to know the knowledge, attitude, and practice-oriented issues prevailing among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Out of 85 patients, 49 were male and 36 were female, generating 57.6 % and 42.3 % respectively showing more prevalence in males than in females. The disease was predominantly present in patients aged 55- 67 years. This study showed that 57.6 % (n= 49) of patients had glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values above 7.5 %. Female patients showed higher HbA1c > 9.6 % than males. Among the 51 patients whose fasting blood glucose sugar (FBS) was assessed, only 9.8 % had FBS <90 mg/dL. This study shows that people with type 2 diabetes mellitus have at least one other condition that can influence the self-management of diabetes and its progression. Dyslipidemia was found to be the most prevalent (10.58 %) among the study population. Sulfonylureas (69.41 %) are the most commonly prescribed oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs). Among the study population, 52.9 % of them use insulin. 48.2 % are hypertensive patients and 34.11 %, 23.52 %, and 10.58 % are under anti-hypertensives, anti-hyperlipidemic, and anti-platelet drugs respectively. Diabetic neuropathy was common (2.35 %) compared to other microvascular complications. (n= 63) patients were prescribed fixed-dose combination (FDC), which is crucial in effectively achieving glycemic targets. 88.23 % of patients had a profound knowledge of their conditions. 30.58 % of patients were not aware of the serious complications of diabetes. Self-care practice is lacking among 80 % of people who do not regularly take self-care measures to prevent diabetes.

This not only reduces the risk of complications but also improves the overall success rate of UGSAB.

In Ghana, where access to specialized healthcare services is limited, the integration of AI into UGSAB could have significant implications. With a shortage of skilled anesthesiologists and limited resources, AI can bridge the gap by assisting less-experienced healthcare professionals in performing UGSAB procedures accurately. This would ensure that patients receive optimal pain relief during surgeries or childbirth, even in remote areas where access to specialists is scarce.

Moreover, AI-powered UGSAB has the potential to reduce healthcare costs significantly. By minimizing complications associated with incorrect needle placement or inadequate anesthesia levels, hospitals can avoid costly follow-up treatments or legal disputes. Additionally, AI algorithms can optimize drug dosages based on individual patient characteristics, reducing wastage and saving resources.

However, it is important to acknowledge that integrating AI into Ghana's healthcare sector comes with challenges. The lack of infrastructure and trained personnel proficient in using AI technology may hinder its widespread adoption. To overcome these barriers, investment in training programs for healthcare professionals should be prioritized alongside infrastructure development.

In conclusion, advancements in AI for ultrasound-guided sub-arachnoid block hold great potential for Ghana's healthcare sector.

Ozonation and its Application in Wastewater Treatment
Authors: - Soham Joshi , - Anita Kumari
Published: November 2023

Disinfection is considered to be the primary mechanism for the inactivation/destruction of pathogenic organisms to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases to downstream users and the environment. It is important that wastewater be adequately treated prior to disinfection in order for any disinfectant to be effective. Ozone is produced when oxygen (O2) molecules are dissociated by an energy source into oxygen atoms and subsequently collide with an oxygen molecule to form an unstable gas, ozone (O3 ), which is used to disinfect wastewater. Most wastewater treatment plants generate ozone by imposing a high voltage alternating current (6 to 20 kilovolts) across a dielectric discharge gap that contains an oxygen-bearing gas. Ozone is generated onsite because it is unstable and decomposes to elemental oxygen in a short amount of time after generation. When ozone decomposes in water, the free radicals hydrogen peroxy (HO2) and hydroxyl (OH) that are formed have great oxidizing capacity and play an active role in the disinfection process. It is generally believed that the bacteria are destroyed because of protoplasmic oxidation resulting in cell wall disintegration (cell lysis). The effectiveness of disinfection depends on the susceptibility of the target organisms, the contact time, and the concentration of the ozone. Ozonation process has been widely applied in water and wastewater treatment, such as for disinfection, for degradation of toxic organic pollutants. However, the utilization efficiency of ozone is low and the mineralization of organic pollutants by ozone oxidation is ineffective, and some toxic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) may be formed during ozonation process. Catalytic ozonation process can overcome these problems to some extent, which has received increasing attention in recent years. During catalytic ozonation, catalysts can promote O3 decomposition and generate active free radicals, which can enhance the degradation and mineralization of organic pollutants. Ozone removes iron, manganese and arsenic from water by oxidation to an insoluble form that is further separated by filtration. Both processes require ozone in molecular form, but the removal of organic pollutants that are refractory to other treatments can be possible only by exploiting the indirect radical reactions that take place during ozonation. Ozone decomposes in water, especially when hydrogen peroxide is present, to yield the hydroxyl radical, the strongest oxidizer available in water treatment.

Authors: - Shashank Yadav
Published: November 2023

The concept of 'identity' has transitioned from a peripheral notion within mainstream Western sociology to a central and dynamic focus of contemporary sociological studies. This shift is evident in the evolution of identity theories, as initially laid out by classical sociologists like Mead and Cooley, who emphasized the socio-psychological aspects of identity. Based on recent writings, this paper argues that in modern times, identity encompasses both individual and collective forms and is recognized as a multifaceted, fluid, and transformative construct. The quest for identity in contemporary society is a shared endeavour that involves various forms, both individual and collective. This evolution of identity is a product of modernity, impacting societal structures, politics, and individual self-concept. The dynamics of modernization, technological advancements, and shifting power relationships are central to understanding the complexities of identity in the modern world.

The Complementarity Principle: Balancing State Sovereignty and the Prosecution of International Crimes in Africa
Authors: - Amanaeli Kidari
Published: November 2023

This article poses a question as to whether the complementarity principle provided under Article 17 of the Rome Statute provides appropriate tools to balance the rights of state sovereignty with their commitment to an independent international criminal justice system. In all eight situations that the ICC is currently investigating, questions have arisen about whether the quest for justice and accountability for the most heinous crimes of international concern should potentially limit states sovereignty. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the balance between state sovereignty and the International Criminal Court as far as the application of the complementarity principle is concerned, as well as to expound on the position of international law and domestic laws on the immunity of the heads of state in Africa. However, given that, under the Rome Statute, states have the latitude to try these same offences, it may be necessary to investigate crimes in a way that they could do so without necessarily compromising international criminal justice processes. This paper makes a critical discussion on whether the complementarity regime has catered for regional bodies motivated by the AU’s recent anti-ICC declarations and the subsequent establishment of the Africa Criminal Court to complement the national courts of its Member States in prosecuting crimes under the jurisdiction of the ICC. The research aims to critically reflect on the balance between the ICC and the sovereign state. The article has revealed that the implementation of the principle of complementarity poses challenges in implementation and interpretation and thus remains a less effective means of putting an end to international crimes. Furthermore, this paper urges the need for the principle of complementarity to be rethought in terms of clarifying its content and scope.

Self-Managed Online Social Network using Blockchain Technology
Authors: - Kommineni Madhuri , - Praveen Babu G.
Published: November 2023

Online social networks (OSNs) are becoming more and more integrated into people's everyday lives. In any case, since all notable OSNs are controlled, there are a few issues with privacy, management, and security. Users are usually restricted to using the services that OSN firms deploy after agreeing the OSN agreements. But a lot of contracts let OSN companies get to user data to provide personalized services like ads. Users typically have to submit a number of elaborate applications or even stop using such Online Social Network (OSN) if they don't let the businesses use their information while protecting their privacy. Blockchain technology combined with a decentralized architecture can address the aforementioned problems. In this architecture, most of the network functions are distributed among the multiple nodes. It means they are responsible for managing their own network policies, security and performance because the network traffic directly flows between those nodes. It is suggested in this project work to create an OSN service based on blockchain technology and demonstrate its decentralized operation. An enormous amount of data with generally low security requirements can be decentralized by storing it in the Interplanetary File system (IPFS). This distributes data to nodes consisting of hundreds of thousands of individual computers connected to the IPFS, rather than storing data in a single centralized server. A decentralized autonomous organization that allows users to democratically self-manage the OSN may be established in order to promote user autonomy.

Plyometric exercises increase muscular power and are most effective when designed to complement the specific movements required of the athletic activity. This study compared the effects of modified depth jump plyometric exercises versus a periodized weight training program on the following functional tests: one-legged vertical jump, two-legged vertical jump, 30-meter sprint, standing broad jump, and 1 RM of the seated single leg press. Sixty-four untrained participants (18-28yr) were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: hip depth jump group(n = 12), knee depth jump group (n = 13), ankle depth jump group (n = 13), weight training group (n = 13), or a control group (n = 13). Experimental groups trained two days a week for 12 weeks. Statistically significant improvements were observed among the plyometric groups for functional tests of power and the weight training group for functional tests of strength and speed. Results indicate that modified plyometric depth jumps offer a greater degree of specificity related to power training in athletes.

Female of 18 - 22 aged groups and psycho- social and socio-economic status do face a number of constraints in pursuing physical recreation activity. The problem under investigation was a study on the constraints of women participation in sports in India. The present paper aimed to study the constraints of female's physical recreation participation, and the relationship of perceived constraints and the level of participation between different education levels that was graduation and post- graduation. Two hundred and eight females aged 18 to 22 were invited to fill in the Physical Recreation Participation Questionnaire (PRPQ) to identify their perceived constraints and level of physical recreation participation. Results indicated that there were certain constraints factors, such as psychological constraints, accessibility constraints and time constraints, more related to the constriction in female physical recreation participation. When analyzing the constraint dimensions with different status towards participation frequency, the result was not necessary negatively related. The population under this study was college women who were studying Degree and post graduates in the Arts, Science under Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapuramu, Andhra Pradesh, India. Sample was thousand women of 25 colleges were selected randomly. There has been lack of encouragement from the parents and family members. Statistically significant differences (p<05) were found in the awareness factors (F=4.70, p<05), accessibility factors (F=2.81, p<05), and time factor (F=3.41, p<05) among different physical recreation participation frequency groups.

The determination of state territory and autonomous regions in state border areas ultimately has consequences for the government's authority in managing borders, both for the central government and regional governments. This research aims to solve the problem regarding the importance of managing state border areas from the aspect of authority, whether it is more appropriate to be managed by the Central Government or Regional Government, by looking at two sub-districts, namely Ketungau Tengah District and Ketungau Hulu District as sub-districts that are on the border of state territory. between Indonesia and Malaysia which is located in Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan Province, Republic of Indonesia.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing over Recruitment Agencies in Talent Acquisition: A Literature Review
Authors: - Sunita Tank
Published: November 2023

Employees are a company's most important asset, and their skills and knowledge are essential for survival, growth, and expansion. Organizations must have effective control over the talent acquisition process and its assessment to gain a competitive advantage.
External recruitment assistance may be necessary when hiring for niche profiles, focusing on core business activities, or expanding. An effective recruitment partner must understand the organization's brand value, culture, and the strategic importance of talent acquisition and management.
Until recently, organizations relied on recruitment agencies or consultants to source candidates for open positions. However, these agencies often struggled to meet the demands of rapid expansion, niche profile location, time-bound delivery of service, and additional reinforcement and promotion of vacant job profiles.
These shortcomings led to the development of Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO). RPO is an innovative HR approach that helps organizations achieve effective talent management.
RPO goes beyond simply identifying manpower gaps to ensure that each position has the right blend of skills and knowledge to outperform competitors. It encompasses the entire recruitment cycle, from sourcing to onboarding, and provides organizations with the personnel, technology, methodology, and reporting they need to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
This paper will explore the differences between RPO and traditional recruitment agencies, the limitations of recruitment agencies as recruitment partners, and the benefits of RPO as a recruitment partner for talent acquisition.
