Authors: Zoker Exton Mohamed , Thullah Osman , Karim Samuel
Published: August 2024

This study aims to assess the prevalence and contributing factors of needlestick and sharps injuries (NSIs) among healthcare workers (HCWs) at Bo Government Hospital, Southeast Sierra Leone. The primary objective is to identify key risk factors and evaluate the effectiveness of current safety protocols in reducing NSI incidents in the main operating theater and theater complex. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving 60 randomly selected HCWs, including doctors, nurses, and support staff. Data were collected through structured interviews using a questionnaire that addressed demographics, knowledge of blood-borne diseases, adherence to standard precautions, and experience with NSIs. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to identify trends and associations between NSI occurrences and various occupational factors. The study revealed that 60% of the respondents had experienced NSIs, with a significant proportion attributing incidents to factors such as inadequate training, improper use of protective equipment, and high workload. Despite awareness of reporting mechanisms, only 40% of those affected reported their injuries to the appropriate authorities. The findings highlight the need for enhanced training programs, improved safety protocols, and more robust reporting systems to mitigate the risk of NSIs and ensure the safety of HCWs. This study underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions to reduce NSIs, thereby protecting HCWs from potential exposure to blood-borne pathogens and improving overall patient care quality in the hospital.

The function of reservoirs is crucial for storing water, especially during the rainy season. The ongoing issue at Pogar Reservoir is the barren condition of the area and the limited knowledge among the community regarding the reservoir's role in climate control. Based on these issues, efforts are needed to raise community awareness of the importance of reservoirs through revitalization activities at Pogar Reservoir. The community service method used is the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. This service was carried out by a team in coordination with the local government. Additionally, socialization was conducted to help the community understand the proper management of the reservoir. The revitalization program was then implemented in the areas around the reservoir by planting Petai trees and others. The results of this service were appreciated by the local government and the community, with tree planting in the reservoir area, restoring the reservoir's function as a better-maintained green area, and turning it into a potential village tourism destination that supports local economic growth and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This revitalization also created job opportunities for the local community, and the previously barren reservoir area has become greener and better maintained.

Authors: Baghdasaryan Svetlana M.
Published: August 2024

At present, the development of weapons and military equipment, including super-precision weapons and other forms and methods of combat (psychological, informational, and asymmetric), has made modern wars fast, dynamic, and sudden. All of this, in turn, led to changes in management methods, a significant reduction in the time required to make decisions and perform combat tasks, and a general rethinking of the military's activities. In modern wars, the “center of gravity” has become the mental abilities, moral-psychological state, and emotional-volitional qualities of the personnel of the Armed Forces (AF), the long-term impact of which provides strategic superiority over the enemy with few resources. Such conditions require military personnel to demonstrate competence and rapid response capabilities, which is possible if leadership traits and principles are taught and implemented. The purpose of the work is to analyze the peculiarities of leadership with regard to the characteristics of modern warfare as well as identifying requirements focused on the Armed Forces. The methods of theoretical analysis, comparison, generalization, and comparison of scientific literature form the methodological basis of the work. Research on the characteristics of leadership plays an important role in countering the challenges of modern warfare, and its implementation will enable the AF to maintain its competitive advantage.

The Dynamics of the Death Penalty as a Deterrent or Preventive Tool
Authors: Saleh Muhammad , Calvin Calvin
Published: August 2024

Death penalty is the most extreme punishment imposed by a country's legal system against perpetrators of certain crimes. In the context of the dynamics of criminal law, there are arguments stating that the death penalty has a role as a deterrence or prevention tool against crime. This paper explores the dynamics of the death penalty as a deterrence or preventive tool in the context of the legal system, with a focus on controversy, effectiveness, and implications in law enforcement. Various opinions and studies support and oppose the effectiveness of death penalty as a deterrence tool. Some argue that the death penalty can reduce the level of crime due to the potential for serious consequences, thus preventing others from committing similar crimes. However, other opinions indicate that there is no strong empirical evidence to support the claim that the death penalty is truly effective in reducing crime rates. Some studies even show that other factors such as prevention policies, rehabilitation, and improvement of social conditions are more influential in reducing crime than the threat of the death penalty. The controversy surrounding the death penalty also involves ethical considerations, human rights, and principles of justice. The death penalty is often considered a violation of human rights, especially the right to life which is considered an inviolable human right. In addition, the risk of error in law enforcement is also a major concern, where systematic errors can result in the execution of innocent people. The implication of death penalty dynamics as a deterrence tool also involves aspects of public policy and social change. Some countries have abolished death penalty as a step towards more humane justice and fairer legal system. Meanwhile, other countries continue to maintain the death penalty as part of their legal system, although controversies and challenges continue to arise in the application and justification of the punishment. In conclusion, the dynamics of the death penalty as a deterrence tool is still a complex and controversial topic in the study of criminal law and policy. Although some opinions support its effectiveness in deterring crime, there are also many arguments and evidence to the contrary. Therefore, there is a need for more in-depth studies and strong empirical evidence to better understand the role and impact of death penalty in society and legal system.

Authors: Annisa Annisa
Published: August 2024

The crime of child trafficking is a form of crime that violates human rights, especially the rights of children. This crime not only harms the dignity and future of children, but also has a profound negative impact on society. In the perspective of Islamic law, the crime of child trafficking is a very despicable and prohibited act, because Islam upholds the protection of children and upholds justice and human rights. This research aims to analyze court decision number 2207/Pid.Sus/2022 Mdn, relating to the crime of child trafficking, in the context of Islamic law. This research uses a qualitative approach with a normative juridical analysis method of the verdict, and examines how the verdict is in line with the principles of Islamic law. The results show that verdict number 2207/Pid.Sus/2022 Mdn provides punishment to the perpetrator of child trafficking in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In the perspective of Islamic law, the decision is appropriate because it punishes the perpetrators for offenses committed against children. However, this study also highlights the importance of more assertive and consistent law enforcement to prevent child trafficking crimes in the future. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the need for synergy between positive law and Islamic law in dealing with the crime of child trafficking. In addition, further efforts are needed in the prevention and handling of this crime so that children can be well protected and the community can live in a safe and prosperous environment.

This review explores how organic solvents, pesticides, and heavy metals, as prevalent environmental toxins, impact human health, particularly the nervous system, and their association with central sleep apnea (CSA). These toxins disrupt neural function through various mechanisms, including direct neurotoxic effects, neurotransmission interference, oxidative stress induction, and inflammatory responses. Organic solvents, prevalent in industrial and household products, compromise neuronal membrane integrity, disrupt neurotransmitter balance, and induce oxidative stress. These effects impair neuronal signaling critical for regulating breathing during sleep, contributing to CSA development. Pesticides inhibit enzymes involved in neurotransmitter production and disrupt neurotransmitter receptor function, leading to imbalances that affect respiratory control. Oxidative stress induced by pesticides further exacerbates neuronal damage, impairing the brainstem’s ability to maintain regular breathing patterns. Heavy metals interfere with neuronal ion channels, induce oxidative stress, and trigger inflammatory responses in the nervous system. These disruptions impair neuronal function in the brainstem responsible for respiratory regulation, resulting in apnea episodes during sleep. The diagnosis of toxin-induced CSA involves comprehensive evaluations, including exposure history, physical examinations, neuroimaging, laboratory tests, polysomnography, and neurophysiological testing. Differential diagnosis excludes other potential causes, ensuring accurate identification of toxin-induced CSA. Treatment strategies focus on eliminating toxin exposure, pharmacological interventions to manage symptoms, adjunctive therapies, and nutritional support. Managing toxin-induced CSA requires a multidisciplinary approach involving pulmonologists, neurologists, and toxicologists, among others, to optimize patient outcomes through targeted interventions and ongoing monitoring. Education and counseling promote patient engagement by fostering a comprehensive understanding and effective management of the condition—enhancing overall respiratory health and patient quality of life (QoL).

This Review paper intended to track the land- related policies towards enabling land governance in Sudan. The review utilized, a certain thematic areas and indicators according to SDGs, the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure (VGGT) as well as the Africa Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa IGAD approach. The review includes stocktaking of land-related policies, land administration, land use, access, and control. Stocktaking indicated that ,there is absence of land policy, outdated regulatory framework for natural resources conservation measures, limited cross-sectoral mechanisms. Land settlement is based on various approaches including old historical land settlement Acts and traditional customary practices. There is clear a gender gap, where most of policy documents are not gender specific or sensitive. Sudan systematic data type and quality affected by inappropriate land administration systems, capacity for adequate analysis or effective arrangements. Main outcomes which have been defined are Sudan has no land policy, the issues related to land, are well addressed in the Sudan legal frameworks, land policy process and land monitoring mechanisms are essential to ensure land governance and sustainable development opportunities. Key Findings for thematic areas are unsatisfactory, of reforms and land tenure security; and incorporated into cadastral maps with different scales, with limited coverage and inappropriate land information system. Women’s land rights are highly insecure. Short comings on Land Administration Services, Capacity of Land Administration Systems; and Sustainable Land Use was mentioned. The review Recommended that, there is need to develop comprehensive participatory land policy; Setup of land monitoring system and platform as well.
Environmental Social Work in Sierra Leone: An Emerging Field of Practice
Authors: Fullah Moses Abdul
Published: August 2024

The paper explores ways in which social workers in Sierra Leone can engage in environmental social work. In the broader context of the Global South, this relates to the results of contributions to global social impact, to develop more environmentally oriented social work practices. Environmental injustice is one of the issues that requires social workers to use holistic intervention methods to achieve environmental justice. 
The paper argues for environmental justice and indigenous social work practice in Sierra Leone focused on natural resource management. The paper conducted an in-depth review of the literature on environmental law in Sierra Leone, as well as selected theoretical literature on social work. The paper identified a lack of interdisciplinary collaboration among professionals as well as a lack of social entrepreneurship among social workers in Sierra Leone. The paper recommends active promotion of solidarity and social economics by social workers through natural resource management and engagement in environmental justice. The systems and people in the environment theoretical framework provides a framework for social workers' engagement with environmental issues when addressing client problems (individual, group and community). The curriculum of schools of social work should include social ecology and environmental justice through postgraduate applied courses in corporate social responsibility (CSR), social impact assessment (SIA), public participation (PP).
