Published: July 2023

This research extensively investigates insurance services in Nigeria. By conducting a comprehensive review of academic journals from various databases, the study explores several subjects related to the Nigerian insurance service, using keywords such as: attitudes, risk perception, marketing strategies, regulatory factors, and customer behaviour. The findings underscore the significance of positive attitudes towards insurance and the role of trust, confidence, and awareness in driving the adoption of insurance. Socio-cultural factors and religious beliefs also play a role in shaping insurance preferences, especially regarding Takaful services. Effective marketing strategies, high-quality services, and strong customer support are essential for raising awareness about insurance and fostering customer engagement. The study also highlights the challenges faced by the insurance industry, including operational efficiency, regulatory limitations, and market expansion. The potential solutions of micro-insurance and bank assurance models are explored to extend insurance coverage to underserved populations. Policymakers can use the insights provided to develop suitable regulatory frameworks that promote trust and accessibility within the insurance sector. The conclusions drawn from this literature review enhance our understanding of the dynamics of the insurance industry and offer guidance to practitioners, policymakers, and researchers to improve customer satisfaction, expand market reach, and achieve sustainable growth in the industry.
Urban growth by fragments. Consolidation and land value in peripheral areas resulting from housing policy in Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Marengo María Cecilia
Published: July 2023

The study of the consolidation of built-up areas in the periphery of cities is interesting because it is linked to the differential forms of access to land, services, urban facilities, workplaces, and daily mobility for the inhabitants. The research identifies the locations of public housing in Córdoba city and the transformations that were produced in the physical morphology of the surroundings during a decade. Land uses, the level of building consolidation, and the dynamics of land prices in the surrounding areas lead us to reflect on the evolution of social housing areas as urban fragments built on the periphery. The objectives of the study are to recognize the effects of housing policy location in urban development and to discuss the sustainability of the urban-growth model. In the context of the increasing commodification of the city, this development pattern intensifies socio-territorial inequalities derived from the location of low-income families in scattered outlying areas.

Numerical Study of Prandtl Number Disparity on Fluid Flow Through a Heated Pipe
Authors: Okeke Stephen I. , Ifeoma Chukwuka G.
Published: July 2023

This paper examined the phenomenon known as Prandtl Number disparity numerically on fluid flow through a heated pipe using a statistical technique. Prandtl Number disparity is an observed difference in the Prandtl Number of a fluid when passing through a variety of shapes as a pipe or tube. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, version 20) tool simulated the data precisions by investigating the regression model for the Prandtl Number. The R values showed the relationship between the observed values and the predicted values while the R2 values indicated how much of the total disparities in the thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, viscosity, density and Prandtl Number were described by the temperature. For the quadratics case; the R2 values were found to be: 99.8%, 99.5%, 92.1%, 100% and 90.4 % respectively. The quadratic Prandtl Number model was approximated to be Pr(T,ϵ)=0.083+4.636E-007T^2+ϵ for the bound |Pr(T,ϵ)-Pr(T)|≤M. Various plots were shown for the observed data, linearity, quadratics and interpolation lines. The significance column in the ANOVA table indicated that the regression model predicted the dependent variable significantly well. In each case, p<0.001 which highly significantly predicted the outcome variable; that it is a good fit for the data. The significance of the Prandtl Number is that when Pr<1, the conductive heat transfer is a more dominant occurrence. Hence with the numerical values of Prandtl Numbers, heat diffused faster for the fluid.

Every parent certainly has the duty and responsibility to educate their children, one of which is in terms of spiritual education. An example is teaching children to be diligent in worship, diligent in praying, and diligent in serving. But in reality there are still many obstacles in educating their children, one of which is the young age of the children so that the children do not really understand the intent and purpose of teaching parents. In addition, parents still feel that they are not optimal because the church must also be willing to participate in educating their children's spirituality, because many argue that the church is a place to be able to build children's spirituality apart from being in the family, one of which is Sunday school activities and scheduling for children who are already able to serve. Through this paper the author wants to see how the educational role of parents to their children is based on the Gospel of Matthew 22: 37-40.
ABSTRAKSetiap orang tua pastinya memiliki tugas dan tanggung jawab untuk mendidik anak-anak mereka, salah satunya nya dalam hal pendidikan rohani. Contohnya adalah mengajarkan anak untuk rajin beribadah, rajin berdoa, serta rajin di dalam berpelayanan. Tetapi pada kenyataannya masih terdapat banyak kendala di dalam mendidik anak-anak mereka, salah satunya adalah usia anak-anak yang masih kecil sehingga anak-anak belum begitu memahami maksud dan tujuan dari pengajaran orang tua. Selain itu, para orang tua masih merasa belum maksimal karena gereja juga harus mau ikut serta di dalam mendidik kerohanian anak-anak mereka, karena banyak yang berpendapat jika gereja adalah suatu wadah untuk dapat membangun kerohanian anak-anak selain di dalam keluarga, salah satunya adalah adanya kegiatan sekolah minggu dan adanya penjadwalan bagi anak-anak yang sudah bisa berpelayanan. Melalui tulisan ini penulis ingin melihat bagaimana peran pendidikan orang tua kepada anak-anak mereka yang berdasarkan Injil Matius 22: 37-40.

Authors: Ribeiro Bruno Melo , Capanema João Vitor Noronha , Chaves Rafaela Bahia , Ribeiro Sara Tomazela Laurenti , Patricio Marianna Medina
Published: July 2023

Introdução: A psoríase é uma doença autoimune crônica que tem sua prevalência mundial variando entre 0.5% a 11.4%. Aproximadamente um terço dos adultos que apresentam essa alteração relata início de sintomas na infância. Apesar dos danos relacionados a pacientes pediátricos, o tratamento deste grupo ainda demanda regularização. Objetivo: Sintetizar os resultados alcançados de pesquisas acerca dos tratamentos vigentes para psoríase em pacientes infantis, de modo a promover a compreensão desse assunto. Método: Revisão integrativa de literatura com 8 artigos originais selecionados, os quais foram consultados nas bases de dados: Pubmed e Scielo. Foram utilizados os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS) controlados e seus correspondentes na língua inglesa que compõem o Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): “Psoriasis” (Psoríase); “Treatment” (Tratamento); “Pediatric” (Pediátrico); “Drug“ (Medicamento). Resultados: Os estudos explorados abordaram os medicamentos secuquinumabe, etanercepte, ixekizumab, adalimumab, espuma Cal/BD, apremilast, de forma a analisar, a depender do artigo, a eficácia, a tolerabilidade, a segurança, a farmacocinética e imunogenicidade do uso pediátrico de tais compostos. Conclusão: A maioria dos medicamentos analisados demonstraram eficácia significativa e melhora dos sintomas da doença. Entretanto, a maioria desses medicamentos são regulamentados para o tratamento de psoríase em adultos, e acabam sendo utilizados no tratamento de crianças, o que não é seguro, pois não se tem ciência do mecanismo de ação e os efeitos de longo prazo que eles podem ter em infantis. Logo, conclui-se que mais estudos e ensaios clínicos pediátricos devem ser realizados para ampliar o espectro terapêutico para essa faixa etária.

Trafficking in Human: A Modern-Day Slavery Against the Third World States
Authors: A. Faruk , D.T. Ibrahim , I.F. Danjuma
Published: July 2023

Trafficking in Human is the trade of humans for the purpose of forced labour, sexual slavery, or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others. This may encompass providing a spouse in the context of forced marriage, or the extraction of organs or tissues, including for surrogacy and ova removal. Human trafficking can occur within a country or trans-nationally. Human trafficking is a crime against the person because of the violation of the victim's rights of movement through coercion and because of their commercial exploitation. Human trafficking is the trade in people, especially women and children, and does not necessarily involve the movement of the person from one place to another. People smuggling (also called human smuggling and migrant smuggling) is a related practice which is characterized by the consent of the person being smuggled. Smuggling situations can descend into human trafficking through coercion and exploitation.People are held against their will through acts of coercion, and forced to work for or provide services to the trafficker or others. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), forced labour alone (one component of human trafficking) generates an estimated $150 billion in profits per annum as of 2014. In 2012, the ILO estimated that 21 million victims are trapped in modern-day slavery. Of these, 14.2 million (68%) were exploited for labour, 4.5 million (22%) were sexually exploited, and 2.2 million (10%) were exploited in state-imposed forced labor. The International Labor Organization has reported that child workers, minorities, and irregular migrants are at considerable risk of more extreme forms of exploitation. Statistics shows that over half of the world's 215 million young workers are observed to be in hazardous sectors, including forced sex work and forced street begging. Ethnic minorities and highly marginalized groups of people are highly estimated to work in some of the most exploitative and damaging sectors, such as leather tanning, mining, and stone quarry work. Human trafficking is the third largest crime industry in the world, behind drug dealing and arms trafficking, and is the fastest-growing activity of trans-national criminal organizations.

Published: July 2023

Method development and validation are continuous processes that progress in parallel with the evolution of drug products. Changes encountered during drug development may require modifications to existing analytical methods. These modifications to the methods, in turn, may require additional validation. The advent of new techniques and improved instrumentation in the field of analysis may give way to more sensitive, precise, and accurate methods if the existing methods are erratic or unreliable; time-consuming, or too expensive. Thus, continuous new analytical method development and validation activities are essential for the growing drug development programs.
