PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM AND TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS IN PUBLIC BASIC SCHOOLS IN GHANA
Authors: Lydia Osarfo Achaa
Published: June 2023

The secret to providing high-quality education in schools is the professionalism and diligence of teachers. Hence, teaching and learning can be improved through teacher appraisal. In light of Ghana’s Accountability for Learning Outcomes Project’s (GALOP) five-year plan that seeks to boost learning outcomes in underperforming basic education schools and increase transparency and accountability in the country’s education system, this empirical study sought to investigate the impact of the performance appraisal system on teacher effectiveness in public basic schools in Kwahu East district, in the Eastern Region of Ghana. This study used a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational survey. Convenience sampling was used to sample 500 teachers and headteachers from the Basic school to participate in the study. SPSS version 26.0 and AMOS 23.0 were used for the statistical analyses. The findings of the study revealed that strengthening performance appraisal is a key element to improving teachers’ effectiveness which consequently improves students and school success, however, implementing performance management is the sure way to increase productivity and accountability in schools as it allows for a more all-encompassing assessment of an employee’s performance by incorporating coaching, goal planning, looking ahead to future growth, and 360-degree feedback.

Precarious Smellscapes - deepening our olfactory understanding of slow violence; sustaining more-than-human futures
Authors:   , Davies Lowana-Skye
Published: June 2023

Smellscapes have become increasingly precarious as rising temperatures and anthropogenic pollutants alter the composition of air, water, and soil to radically disturb ecosystems. This destruction, arising in part from the current climate crisis, is often unevenly distributed and may go unnoticed due to its slow, elusive nature. Through site-responsive processes such as smellwalking, 'Precarious Smellscapes' investigates how an engaged, situated arts practice was evolved to strengthen empathetic connections with ecologies of more-than-human worlds. This resulted in a sensory dining experience, 'Olfactivisms', a curated exhibition, 'Olfactory Ecologies', and a time capsule of collated scents and imagery, 'Smellcapsule2122', which accompanies this thesis.

Repression and Resistance in Fatima Bhutto’s The Shadow of the Crescent Moon
Authors: Farhan Mohiodin , Nawaz Shazmeen , Najam Maria
Published: June 2023

This paper aims at discovering factors that play vital role in the alienation and marginalization of masses by ‘State Apparatuses’ that not only compel them to show unwavering obedience to state but also force them to sacrifice their right to freedom and will. It will spotlight some modes in which suppressed people resist against state apparatuses in order to secure their freedom. The aim of this research is to provide a platform to those silent voices or lost groups which have never been represented in the state narratives. Discussing the socio-political scenario of Federally Administrated Tribal Area, this work speaks the unspeakable things via deconstructing the bitter facts about the particular region: Mir Ali. Bhutto’s The Shadow of the Crescent Moon challenges the mainstream narratives where the third world nations either have no representation or a negative presentation. Giving the voice to the voiceless, Bhutto’s fiction explicitly describes the narrative of the masses of FATA because, before that, we have only one dimension of narrative that is state’s narrative. For useful exploration and analysis, the idea of ‘repression and resistance’ will be discussed with reference to Louis Althusser’s ‘Ideology of State Apparatus’. For this purpose the primary text shall be deconstructed at all levels.
Impact Fees in New York City? Legal Authority, Constraints, and Potential Options
Authors: Minelli Adalene
Published: June 2023

New York City, like many other cities, faces numerous practical, political, and legal challenges in raising the revenue it needs to support its growing population. Against this backdrop are ongoing concerns about how the City will finance the additional public services and infrastructure necessitated by new development, as well as the costs it incurs in mitigating adverse impacts on existing communities and the environment. In this context, some have called for the City to explore whether to adopt a local impact fee program.

Broadly defined, impact fees are one-time charges imposed on new development as a condition of approval to offset its impact on local infrastructure, services, and the environment. Employed widely in other major U.S. cities, New York City is a notable outlier in that it does not have an official impact fee policy. However, unlike many other cities, New York State law is unclear as to whether local governments have the requisite authority to adopt one.

This Article analyzes the question of whether New York City has the legal authority to impose impact fees on new development. It argues that, should the City wish to adopt impact fees, it could do so through either its constitutional home rule authority or through its mitigation authority under state environmental review laws. This Article also identifies a number of constitutional and statutory constraints that would likely restrict the design and scope of a local fee program, including limitations under the state’s doctrines on preemption and local taxation, and under the federal exactions jurisprudence.

Growth variation of pedunculate oak trees (Quercus robur) in comparative cultures of different origin
Authors: Cuza Petru
Published: June 2023

At the age of 16, were analysed the comparative cultures of pedunculate oak, which have as seed sources the stands from the north, center and south of the Republic of Moldova. The provenances from the center area demonstrated a high adaptation capacity in the test site from the ,,Plaiul Fagului” reservation, having a signifi cant performance of growth in height than those from the south of the country. At the provenances studied, was observed the instability of the phenotypic variability, which resulted in the change of ranking regarding their growth in different years. This fact suggests that the genetic expression of growth in height occurs gradually, stadially, in the ontogenetic process of tree development. Also, is evident a strong hereditary infl uence of the oaks of origin on the growth rate of the descendants. The use of acorns within the limits of a forest body is risky with the reduction of the genetic diversity of the natural population. Under the conditions of climate change, the transfer of reproductive forest materials within the limits of the Central Moldavian Plateau can be admitted because the pedunculate oak has a vast genetic variability in terms of traits important for adaptation. The assisted migration within the limits of the center area to the oak, a species with a long life cycle and vast genetic variability, is justifi ed by the fact that natural selection will speed up the adaptation process of trees with the prediction of climate changes.

Assessment of Nicotine Dependence and Its Potential Predictors Among a Cohort of Current Egyptian Cigarette Smokers - A Preparatory Phase of a Workplace Anti-Smoking Initiative: Part I
Authors: Mahmoud Mohammed Asmaa , Rashad Hend , Hashish Adel
Published: June 2023

Aim: Combating smoking in workplaces is a cornerstone to fight smoking in the whole community. However, nicotine dependence (ND) is a key barrier to successful smoking cessation. The study assessed the nicotine dependence status and its potential predictors among a cohort of current Egyptian cigarette smokers.
Subjects and methods: Cross- sectional survey was conducted on a random sample of cigarette- smoking workers. ND status was assessed using the standard 6-items of FTND, Heaviness of the smoking index, and smoking parameters. The potential predictors for nicotine dependence have been studied including personal and smoking characteristics, the urinary cotinine creatinine ratio, knowledge, and smoking perception.
Results: A total of 113 current male cigarette smokers were included randomly in the survey. High nicotine-dependent smokers represented 80.5% of the smokers, high nicotine dependence was significantly more prevalent in low-educated than the highly educated (p<0.0001). The linear regression analysis model revealed a significant negative linear correlation between the age of starting smoking of the participants and their FTND score and a significant positive correlation with Cigarette Consumption/day, smoking rate, and urinary cotinine creatinine ratio (p<0.0001).
Conclusion: Nicotine dependence was highly prevalent among smokers, so combined approaches should be considered in the treatment strategy. The age of starting regular smoking, number of cigarette consumption/day, smoking rate, and urinary cotinine creatinine concentration ratio were significantly good predictors for nicotine dependence and increase vulnerability for its development. Combating starting smoking before 21 years old is a key to prevent nicotine dependence. The treatment priority should focus on smokers willing to change and want to be treated. The laws which prohibit smoking in workplaces must be activated.

Authors: Das Mousumi , Verma Dileep Kumar
Published: June 2023

Rett syndrome (RS) is characterised by a severe neurodevelopmental disorder that contributes significantly to severe intellectual disability in females worldwide. The Majority of the cases were caused by mutations in the X-linked gene methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2). The Mutation of MECP2 was seen in 70% -80% cases and remaining 20%-30% of the cases were attributes to unknown mutation. Neurodevelopment has been referred to as neurological regression that severely affects cognitive, motor, communication skills and by autonomic dysfunction and often seizure disorder, a disturbed breathing pattern with hyperventilation, periodic apnoea, scoliosis, growth retardation and gait apraxia. The most common oral findings were bruxism. No etiological treatment is available in modern medicine. We discuss the clinical aspects and review in clinical and homoeopathic management.

Authors: Chandra Paul Nidhan , Kumar Banjerjee Probir , Hossain Md. Jinnat
Published: June 2023

Objective: Diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by two to four times, with 80% of related deaths and hospitalizations due to atherosclerosis. Dyslipidemia plays a crucial role in the development of atherosclerosis and heart diseases, making it a concern for newly diagnosed and uncontrolled type-2 diabetes mellitus patients in Bangladesh. To address this, a cross-sectional study in a south-western district of Bangladesh was conducted to assess the prevalence and pattern of hyperlipidemia.
Methods: In a study of 120 participants, 83 were included in the analysis. Basic information and medical history were collected, and diabetes was diagnosed based on blood glucose levels. Lipid profiles were evaluated, and hyperlipidemia was defined as specific levels, including total cholesterol over 200 mg/dL, triglycerides over 150 mg/dL, LDL-C over 100 mg/dL, and HDL-C less than 40 mg/dL.
Results: The uncontrolled diabetic and newly diagnosed type-2 diabetes mellitus groups had a higher frequency of hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyper LDL cholesterolemia, and hypo HDL-cholesterolemia compared to the diabetic controlled and non-diabetic groups. The prevalence of high triglyceride levels was higher in females (85%) than males (76%). Gender was significantly associated with LDL-c levels (p=0.04), while the age group of 40 years or older was significantly associated with TG levels (p=0.05).
Conclusion: Dyslipidemia, including hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and elevated LDLc, is a growing concern in Bangladesh. The risk is higher in people with uncontrolled or newly diagnosed type-2 diabetes. Early detection and treatment are crucial to reduce the risk of related conditions, especially cardiovascular diseases, in Bangladesh.

Authors: Hernández López Carlos De Jesús , Rementería Vázquez Jon Mikel , Pérez González Yazmín
Published: June 2023

Background: The Tokyo 2018 guidelines call for the study of quantitative predictors of surgical difficulty in laparoscopic cholecystectomy for complete cholecystectomy in a safe context.
Objective: To evaluate the cystic duct (CD) dissection time as a predictor of surgical difficulty.
Materials and methods: This prospective study included 193 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 2022 and were grouped according to the indication for cholecystectomy: Urgent, Delayed, and Elective. Multiple linear regression and multinomial logistic regression analyses were used to identify the preoperative and operative predictive variables of surgical difficulty. The predictive value of the time spent dissecting the CD was estimated using a ROC curve.
Results: The CD dissection time of 13 min had 100% sensitivity and 99% specificity, PPV 100%, NPV 1%, OR 3.3 to predict the use of bailout techniques.
Conclusions: The time required to dissect the cystic duct, with or without success, is a practical predictor of the subsequent use of bailout procedures and, consequently, predicts the "Risk/Difficult Cholecystectomy".

Keywords: Difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy, predictors of difficult cholecystectomy, bailout procedures, cystic dissection time, risk of cholecystectomy.
Familial Hypercholesterolemia: How Far Should We Go?
Authors: Lailani Mutia , Nofita Sari Desy
Published: June 2023

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common inherited disorder, yet the diagnosis methods and management are still challenging. The heterozygous FH (known as FH) is more common than the homozygous form, yet a mutation only found in only about 40% of patients with the phenotype of FH. In fact, most cases are most likely caused by polygenic aetiology with less severe clinical presentations than monogenic FH. Therefore, understanding FH is essential, so that the diagnosis methods and management, particularly the patients’ preventive measures of the patients can be improved. This review aims to describe and discuss the type of FH, including the clinical and lipid presentation, molecular pathogenesis of monogenic FH, and further discussion on how polygenic FH should be diagnosed and managed.

Effect of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy along with BiPAP on Pathophysiological Parameters of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Case Study
Authors: Patel Sadaf , Malekar Sheetal , Sinha Saumi
Published: June 2023

Background: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is an increasingly common form of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), with an incidence of 15% in men and 5% in women in adults. Itis characterized by repetitive collapse or obstruction of the pharyngeal airway during sleep. OSA is a multi-factorial disorder, where anatomical and non-anatomical factors can contribute to determine different pathophysiological traits. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the periodic transitory decline (hypopnea) or complete interruption (apnea) of breathing due to reduction or blocking of the upper airway during sleep.
Aim: This study aims to investigate the Effect of Orofacial myofunctional therapy along with
BiPAP on pathophysiological parameters of Obstructive sleep apnea.
Case description: A 75 year old male presented with the history of Asthma and Hypertension & Diabetes Mellitus-II. He was diagnosed with Type 2 Respiratory Failure with Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Obesity. Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) has been recently introduced as an OSA treatment option for patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. An One week exercise programme containing OMT with the routine physiotherapy (Breathing exercises, Active ROM for bilateral upper and lower extremities and functional activities) was given. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale assessing for patient’s sleepiness, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) used for assessing sleep quality of patient and SPO2 assessing for oxygen saturation levels in the blood. An One week exercise programme effectively improves changes in weak and dysfunctional upper airway muscles.
Conclusion: Our present study concluded that Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy had proven to be effective in patient with OSA with BiPAP.

Cataract and Homoeopathy: Review Article
Authors: J S Sreevidhya
Published: June 2023

Crystallin proteins in the lens partially unfurl and clump to cause age-related cataracts. Medical professionals and conventional healers have studied pharmacological cataract treatment for hundreds of years. Surgery is the only viable treatment at the moment. However, numerous homoeopathic and complementary treatments have been advocated as cataract treatments. This article explores homoeopathic treatments that are allegedly effective in treating cataract while also reviewing the state of knowledge regarding cataract.

Most of the breast lesions found during pregnancy are benign. Pregnancy associated breast cancer (PABC) is defined as cancer that occurs during pregnancy or within 1 year of delivery. Aim of the study: To diagnose breast lesions during pregnancy, detect incidenceof masses as well as the incidence and early diagnosis of PABC. Patients and methods: 500 pregnant women (190 primigravida, 254 mutigravidaand 56 lactating) attending Kasr Al Ainy outpatient clinic having breast complaints were included in the study. Ultrasound was performed for all patients. Further investigations were performed when indicated (Mammography, MRI or core biopsy). Results: Incidence of breast mass was 25.6%. Within those cases, 5.46 had PABC. The overall incidence of PABC was 1.4%. Biopsy was performed in 13 patients (9 pregnant and 4lactating). We diagnosed 7 malignant masses (4 lactating and 3 pregnant). Pathology revealed5 invasive duct carcinoma, 1 inflammatory carcinoma and 1 adenocarcinoma. Positive family historywas found in 85.7% of malignant cases. Conclusion: Most breast masses were benign. The overall incidence of PABC was 1.4% and 5.46% within patients diagnosed with a breast mass. Obstetricians should be aware of the importance of breast examination when there is a breast complaint during pregnancy.

Inspite of multi model cure therapy the mortality rate among the patients of brain tumor always remain high.The low survival rate is due to the ability of these tumors to recur quickly and aggressively. The cellular, genetic, and epigenetic heterogeneity of Glioblastoma multiforme tumors makes designing targeted treatments difficult. Within the tumor there are distinct subpopulations of cells that are stem-like in their behavior and are critical as therapeutic target. The regulation of these cells at molecular level is not yet properly studied. The presence of hypoxic environment controls the stem cells and slower down the progression of tumor. The goal of this work is to use PCR to determine gene expression in glial cells that have been exposed to hypoxia.

Published: June 2023

Background: Diabetes Mellitus has emerged as one of the prominent leading risk factors for cardio-vascular diseases. The prevalence rate of Diabetes Mellitus in India is said to be 25% in urban and 10% in the rural population. If we were to see the gender wise prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus in urban India, it is approximately 30-45% in males and 25-38% in females. However, only about 26% of the treated diabetic patients had their blood sugar level within normal limits. This study aims to study the efficacy of 50-Millesimal potency in management of Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus. Methods: It was a randomized parallel group study, wherein 50 patients satisfying the case definition, inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for the study of which 25 patients were administered L M Potency of the homoeopathic medicine Acid Phosphoricum and remaining 25 patients were administered Centesimal potency of homoeopathic medicine Acid Phosphoricum. The subjects were clinically assessed every week. Investigations were done at baseline, blood sugar levels every month and HbA1C every 3 months of treatment till the end of the study period. All the data was measured and analysed at entry and every 3 months till the completion of the study period. Results: At the end of the study, significant decrease in the blood sugar and HbA1C levels was recorded in case of LM Potency as compared to Centesimal potencies. Conclusion: LM Potencies are more efficient in management of Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus as compared to Centesimal scale of potencies.
