‘Work it and take care of it’ (Genesis 2:15): Investigating contemporary ecocide in Nigeria and the need for a legal policy
Authors: Uroko Favour Chukwuemeka , Agbasianya Maria Nneka
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the imperative for a legal policy addressing the ecological crisis in Nigeria, drawing insights from the biblical perspective of Genesis 2:15. This study adopted the narrative method with data gotten from literature and analysed using content analysis. Scholarly publications on ecological crises abound; however, this study goes a step further by providing responses from a legal and theological lens. Findings show that in Nigeria, large-scale deforestation, often driven by logging, agricultural expansion, and urbanisation, has contributed to the loss of critical ecosystems, wildlife habitats, and biodiversity. Rapid industrialisation and urbanisation in Nigeria have resulted in air pollution, primarily in major cities. The study advocates for the development and implementation of laws that address destruction of the environment, emphasising the interconnectedness of legal, ethical, and biblical principles in fostering sustainable environmental policies for Nigeria.
Simulation of smoke dispersion and air pollution dynamics
Authors: Tang Yong , Zhen Zhihua , Wang Xinyu , Sun Xudong
Published: September 2024

A hybrid model approach is proposed to address the limitations of traditional physical and empirical models in simulating smoke diffusion and depicting gas pollution. This method integrates the semi-Lagrangian method for smoke modeling, with the k-d tree algorithm enhancing computational efficiency. To enhance smoke simulation details, a fluctuating wind field generated by the linear filter method is incorporated into the external force term to refine smoke particle trajectories. The rendering process employs a bidirectional projection function combined with actual smoke textures to mitigate the issue of particle visibility and to significantly enhance the visual fidelity of smoke diffusion. Additionally, an optimized Gaussian plume model is utilized to bridge the gap between physical and empirical models, while a pollution attenuation formula and refined Perlin noise are applied to enrich the global gas pollution details and to increase the realism of pollution dynamics. The method also incorporates an improved time axis algorithm to overcome the issue of static gas pollution color, enabling the depiction of dynamic and gradual pollution changes. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of this approach in generating realistic and dynamic gas pollution scenes in real-time.

Published: September 2024

In Nigeria, the healthcare sector faces big challenges. Limited access to quality services and not enough resources are major issues. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) could help improve healthcare. But understanding AI predictions is hard, especially in healthcare where transparency is crucial. This article looks at Explainable AI (XAI) to help with this problem in Nigeria. It talks about XAI techniques like feature importance examination, model-agnostic methods (e.g., LIME, SHAP), and interactive visualization tools. These tools can make AI models easier to understand and help with decision-making. A literature review was done to see how XAI can help healthcare in Nigeria. The review included scholarly articles, books, and reports on AI in Nigerian healthcare. We looked at methods from past XAI studies to find common approaches and best practices. XAI offers techniques that make AI models easier to understand in healthcare systems. These techniques include feature importance examination, model-agnostic methods, and interactive visualization tools. Case studies from Nigeria show how XAI is used in areas like disease diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and public health interventions. The findings show the importance of XAI in solving interpretability issues in healthcare AI, especially in places with limited resources like Nigeria. By explaining why AI makes certain predictions, XAI helps healthcare workers make better decisions for Nigerian patients. However, more research is needed to improve XAI techniques for Nigeria’s healthcare system. Policymakers and healthcare leaders should focus on using XAI-enabled systems to drive innovation and improve healthcare outcomes in Nigeria.

Optimal Allocation of Distributed Generation and Distribution Static Compensator Using Improved Multi-Objective Function and INFO Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Abdollahi Rohollah , Abdolhosseini Morteza
Published: September 2024

This paper presents an improved multi-objective function (MOF) by simultaneously applying the voltage stability index (VSI) and system loadability (SL) for sustainable operation of a distribution network via the optimum location and sizing of distributed generations (DGs) and distribution static compensators (DSTATCOMs). In other words, with the approach of increasing the voltage profile, first, the candidate busbar for installation is determined based on the VSI, and then, by applying higher weights in the mentioned function, more priority is given to these busbars. This function is optimized by weighting candidate busbars using the INFO algorithm. The system loadability is included in the multi-objective function along with the total costs (involving the investment costs of distribution static compensators and distributed generations) and network loss. The sizes of the DGs and DSTATCOMs are enhanced using an INFO optimization algorithm. The operational economic benefits are represented by calculating the annual cost savings. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is evaluated on 33- and 69-node distribution networks. Based on the findings, the proposed methodology is found to be more effective compared to other methods reported in the literature, and it provides more optimal answers compared to the non-consideration of the VSI.

Osteogénesis Imperfecta
Authors: Brenes Coto Leslyn
Published: September 2024

Resumen Las osteogénesis imperfectas (OI) son un grupo de patologías genéticas hereditarias del tejido conectivo; se caracterizan por fragilidad ósea y fracturas. Las osteogénesis imperfectas se clasifican en tipos: I, II, III, IV, V y VI. La prevalencia estimada de todos los tipos combinados es de 0.5 en 10 000 nacimientos. Las OI son causadas por mutaciones en los dos genes que codifican las cadenas de colágeno tipo 1, COL1A 1, localizado en el cromosoma 17 y COL1A 2, localizado en el cromosoma 7. Se puede realizar el diagnóstico prenatal de las OI por ecografía y, si previamente se conoce la mutación, por el estudio de vellosidades coriales o líquido amniótico por biología molecular, que es altamente confiable. La introducción del tratamiento con bisfosfonatos en la última década ha demostrado una disminución en la cantidad de fracturas, alivio del dolor y ha mejorado la capacidad funcional y la calidad de vida de estos pacientes.

Published: September 2024

Resumen El tejido mamario ectópico puede ocurrir en cualquier lugar a lo largo de la cresta mamaria. Su aparición en vulva es rara. Se han reportado aproximadamente 50 casos benignos de tejido mamario ectópico vulvar y más de 20 casos de lesiones malignas. En vulva, la mayoría de los casos se presenta inicialmente como una tumefacción asintomática, y al igual que en otras localizaciones, el crecimiento se produce secundario a una respuesta hormonal. Entre los diagnósticos diferenciales se incluye el lipoma, el carcinoma vulvar, las alteraciones de las glándulas de Bartolino, los quistes epidérmicos y la hernia crural. No existen guías estandarizadas para el manejo del tejido mamario ectópico en general. En el caso de las lesiones benignas vulvares, su manejo consiste en la excisión quirúrgica sin compromiso cosmético. Se reporta el caso de una paciente de 36 años, con la aparición de una tumoración vulvar única en el período de lactancia y un diagnóstico histopatológico de tejido mamario benigno, compatible con tejido ectópico.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to assess the level of microplastic contamination in the coastal waters of Southeast Asia and evaluate its impact on marine ecosystems and human health. Data were collected from various coastal locations in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, using standard water and sediment sampling methods. Laboratory analysis was conducted to identify and measure microplastic concentrations. The results indicate that all surveyed locations were contaminated with microplastics at varying concentrations. Microplastics were found in significant amounts in surface water, sediments, and marine organisms such as fish and shellfish. The study also explores the potential impacts of microplastics on marine ecosystems, including disruptions to the food chain and the potential for bioaccumulation of harmful substances in marine organisms. Additionally, the potential health risks for humans consuming seafood contaminated with microplastics were evaluated. These findings highlight a serious threat to both marine ecosystems and human health in Southeast Asia. The study underscores the urgent need for actions to reduce the use of single-use plastics and improve plastic waste management to protect marine ecosystems and public health. Furthermore, it recommends increasing public awareness and implementing stricter policies related to plastic waste management to reduce microplastic contamination in coastal environments.
Analysis of the Effect of Road Damage Conditions on Vehicle Speed (Case Study of Road Sections in Tanjungbalai City)
Authors: Sihombing Alexander Tuahta
Published: September 2024

Economic growth and technological advancements have increased mobility in various aspects of life, with land transportation being the primary choice for daily activities. In this context, the availability of good road infrastructure is crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of transportation systems. The condition of road pavement is a key factor that influences how efficiently the system operates, as poor pavement conditions can lead to longer vehicle travel times. A comprehensive analysis can help identify specific components that contribute to changes in road conditions over time. According to the Road Law (2004), public roads are classified based on their function into arterial roads, collector roads, local roads, and environmental roads, each with different characteristics in terms of travel distance and average speed. Road damage is generally divided into structural damage, which occurs when the pavement can no longer support traffic loads, and functional damage, which compromises the safety and comfort of road users, thereby increasing operational costs. Several factors contributing to road pavement damage include increased traffic loads, poor drainage systems, construction materials, unstable subgrade conditions, and Indonesia's tropical climate, characterized by high air temperatures and rainfall. Research conducted in Tanjung Balai City shows a correlation between road pavement conditions and vehicle speed; as pavement conditions deteriorate, vehicle speeds decrease. The results indicate a significant relationship, with an R2 value of 0.92, meaning a 92 percent correlation.
Structural Inequality and the Social Determinants of Unintended Pregnancy
Authors: Clague Julie
Published: September 2024

This is a study of unintended pregnancies and the social circumstances that give rise to them. It discusses the high prevalence rates of unintended pregnancy and abortion and focuses especially on the reasons for the high incidence of unintended pregnancy in low-income and middle-income countries. Analysis of the social drivers of unintended pregnancy reveals that deep-seated structural inequalities create the context for women’s experiences and decision-making concerning pregnancy and childbearing. Since female empowerment can reduce the high numbers of unintended pregnancies, evidence is provided of what female empowerment means in practical terms for women and girls at risk of unintended pregnancies.
Never Just a Choice: Three Theoretical Approaches to Economic Constraints on Family Formation
Authors: Ward Kate
Published: September 2024

This article attempts to understand how economic realities influence decisions around partnership commitment and raising children for US people, whether poor or well-off. Critical realist social theory, reproductive justice, and the Catholic documentary tradition on families all assist in understanding these realities and articulating solutions to the challenges they pose. While the three approaches share surprising common ground, none of the three succeeds in isolation at describing pursuit of the human good of family formation by persons who are themselves socially constituted, as are the options from which they choose. That each of these theoretical approaches recommends similar political responses to family formation serves to highlight critical distinctions between the affordances and drawbacks of each approach. Reading these traditions in concert reveals a discrepancy between the ways Catholic tradition understands economic constraints on family formation and the way present US church leadership responds to them.
Thinking about Reproductive Justice in Contexts of Violence
Authors: Mulligan Suzanne
Published: September 2024

This chapter examines the relationship between violence towards women and reproductive justice. It is argued that malformed social narratives strengthen structural sin, limiting moral agency. The connection between social narrative and gender violence is illustrated by reference to the system of Magdalene Laundries and Mother and Baby Homes established throughout Ireland in the twentieth century. The chapter concludes by examining some of the implications for Catholic teaching.
Reconceptualizing Human Reproduction Beyond John Paul II
Authors: He Simeiqi
Published: September 2024

This chapter explores the evolving concept of human reproduction in the Church magisterium. Given that John Paul II played an authoritative role in shaping the magisterial teaching on human reproduction, this chapter begins with a thorough investigation of the concept in Love and Responsibility and the argument for prescribing an exclusive norm for human reproduction. It argues that there exists a fundamental tension within Wojtyła’s prescription as a remedy for his anthropocentric moral distinction between the natural order and the personal order. I point out that the attention to the primacy of love in Catholic social teaching offers a novel opening to reconceptualize reproduction beyond John Paul II. I suggest that Francis has taken the necessary steps in reenvisioning human reproduction from the fruitfulness of love. I propose that by invoking the Bergsonian terms “open societies” and “vital force,” Francis invites us to reconceive the nature of instinct and move toward an anthropocosmic vision, where human reproduction becomes the reproduction of love.
Reproductive Justice and Agricultural Labor Migrants
Authors: Peterson-Iyer Karen
Published: September 2024

According to the United Nations, international migrants in 2019 comprised 3.5% (272 million) of the world’s total population. Much of this migration stems from poverty, conflict, sexual and gender-based violence, and global economic disparities. Moreover, close to half of all migrants today are women, many of whom are of childbearing age. It is impossible to accurately consider these women’s concrete realities without also considering the social forces surrounding reproduction itself. Migrant women’s struggles are not only a matter of individual access to reproductive health care. Rather, their struggles involve intersecting questions of gender, race, class, and immigration status. Reproductive justice, with its central focus on social analysis, is therefore particularly well-suited to analyze their challenges. Further, Catholic Social Teaching offers analytical themes to redirect our focus to the structural forces contributing to those struggles. In this chapter, I examine these matters with particular attention to women laboring in agricultural contexts.

Authors: Bhange Dr. Sangita , Jaiswal Dr. S. K. , Jamdhade Dr. S. B. , Jamdhade Dr. Pradnya
Published: September 2024

Grudhasi, one of the most common disorders, is characterised by pain that affects leg movement, particularly in middle age, and low back pain that interferes with daily routine activities. Grudhasi is characterised by discomfort associated with sciatic pain. The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of Ayurvedic management. The symptoms of sciatica align with those of Grudhsi. Sciatica is a painful condition that hinders normal activities by preventing normal sitting or walking. It hurts the lower back most of the time. It spreads to the area around the sacroiliac joint. Feet, thighs, and legs. Irritation of the spinal nerve roots associated with the herniated disc L4-L5 or L5-S1 causes sciatica, a symptom. Yavatmal Ayurvedic Hospital evaluates the effectiveness of Ayurvedic treatments. A 38-year-old female patient came to our hospital with severe left leg pain radiating to the toe, difficulty walking, and difficulty seeing. She underwent an Ayurvedic treatment with Shaman Chikitsa for a duration of one month. A satisfactory result was achieved. We recorded the response to the treatment and assessed its effectiveness through symptom relief.
“El último adiós”. Memoria y emociones en el liberalismo español ante el reconocimiento de las independencias hispanoamericanas (1833-1836)
Authors: Frasquet Miguel Ivana
Published: September 2024

Los primeros años de la regencia de María Cristina de Borbón (1833-1836) fueron escenario de un importante debate en las Cortes. En él, los diputados liberales sancionaron el reconocimiento de las independencias de la América continental. La sanción política y jurídica de las jóvenes repúblicas americanas como Estados soberanos era necesaria para retomar los contactos comerciales. En el debate parlamentario afloraron sentimientos de pena y dolor por la pérdida del continente, pero al mismo tiempo fue utilizado para reforzar un relato sobre la identidad nacional española y su papel durante los años de la colonia. Los diputados liberales construyeron una comunidad emocional respecto a la realidad del reconocimiento, así como una narrativa que respondía a una doble memoria: por un lado, una memoria histórica que asumía como propio el relato de una conquista benefactora asentada en la maternidad española sobre América asentándola en valores de generosidad y nobleza, por el otro, una memoria colectiva en la que se reconocían aquellos que habían vivido la revolución liberal desde inicios de siglo y la asimilaban a un espacio simbólico de lucha contra el absolutismo y los enemigos extranjeros. El imaginario nacional del liberalismo español se asentó, en parte, en la memoria histórica de la grandeza del pasado imperial en América expuesta en estos debates.

EXPLORING ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS IN THE AUTOMATION OF STUDENT PLAGIARISM MANAGEMENT - A CASE STUDY
Authors: Grobler Mohini
Published: September 2024

Objectives: The primary objective of this case study was to arrive at heuristics for the automation of the student plagiarism management process, which now peremptorily includes contract cheating using Large-Language Model (LLM) Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT.
 
Theoretical Framework: The essential core components of the academic integrity phenomenon, such as a formal institutional regulatory framework, imperative training, and common approaches for addressing transgressions, were extensively explored. The efficacy of the automated system used by the Private Higher Education Institution (PHEI) in the case study was investigated in relation to deterrance, by analysing the incident data captured on the system. The Technology Adoption Model (TAM) was applied for assessing usefulness/usability and ease-of-use perceptions of the system, both via questionnaires and using usage data captured on the system.
 
Method: The PHEI’s database allows for quantitative analysis of patterns and trends in the occurrence of reported plagiarism (including contract cheating). The adoption of the automated system was assessed by the trends in the number of reported cases and in the percentage of repeat offenders.
 
Results and Discussion: For plagiarism in general, the number of repeat offenders was consistently less than half of first offenders, with third offenders limited to between 0% and 1% in each subsequent year tested. The broader academic integrity system – incorporating the automated system - proved to be effective as a plagiarism deterrent. The results obtained also revealed that the (ostensible) prevalence of AI contract cheating was limited to about 7% of the total reported cases of plagiarism. Regarding the adoption of the automated system, both ease-of-use and usefulness TAM ratings were high overall. 
 
Research Implications: The study highlights possible system parameters, and possible implications and relationships implicit in automated systems related to plagiarism, as heuristics for further studies.
 
Originality/Value: The potential and the constraints of enhancing efficacy by applying automated means for detecting and deterring plagiarism are highlighted. This study also elucidates the issues on the emerging spectrum of perspectives on the use of AI tools in academic research. This is evidenced by the complications of identifying plagiarism in AI-generated verbiage, as well as the academic value (or deprecation thereof) of incorporating AI tools in formal academic research.
THE PROBLEM OF JURISDICTION IN THE CONTRACT OF MARITIME TRANSPORT OF GOODS
Authors: Zouggar Abdelkader
Published: September 2024

Objectives: The maritime transport contract for goods holds immense significance as it serves as the central instrument around which maritime operations revolve. Given that the majority of global commercial exchanges are conducted by sea, maritime transport is seen as both safer and less costly. Despite its importance, the contract raises numerous legal issues, particularly concerning jurisdiction. While it shares general conditions with other contracts, the maritime transport contract has a specific nature, which is shaped by the unique characteristics of maritime work.
 
Methods: The specific nature of maritime transport contracts is characterized by a distinctive integration of obligations among the parties involved. The obligations of the maritime carrier to receive, unload, transport, and preserve goods are closely linked to the obligations of the shipper and serve as the foundation for the obligations of the consignee. This interconnection helps to ensure the continuity and integrity of the goods from the moment they are received by the shipper until they reach the consumer.
 
Results: The maritime transport contract creates a form of unity among the parties involved, even though they have different roles and responsibilities. This unity is achieved through the seamless integration of obligations across the supply chain, ensuring that the goods maintain the same condition throughout the entire process. However, the differing obligations and often conflicting interests of the parties can give rise to legal complications, particularly in terms of jurisdiction.
 
Conclusion: Although the maritime transport contract is essential to the success of global commerce, it also poses significant legal challenges due to its specific nature. The integration of obligations among the shipper, carrier, and consignee fosters unity, but it can also lead to disputes. Therefore, understanding and addressing the legal complexities of maritime transport contracts is critical for the smooth functioning of international trade.
National security assessment for the Russian Federation
Authors: Tulupov A. S.
Published: September 2024

National security assessment is a strategic direction of research in ensuring sustainable socio-economic development. This study aims to highlight the critical shortcomings of current national security assessment approaches. The authors propose a system of indicators to assess the components of national security which satisfies the officially adopted national goals and strategic objectives of the development in the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the study is both scientific and regulatory documents on assessing and ensuring safety, as well as sustainable development. The main scientific tools used in the work are: economic and systemic types of analysis, including conceptual content analysis and information modeling. The study develops a system of assessment indicators depending on the main types of security that form national security. At the same time, it shows that further development of approaches to assessing national and individual types of security requires systematic consideration, taking into account the multifaceted nature of emerging relationships and their consequences. The approach used corresponds to our interpretation of national security, defined as protection from internal and external threats, in which all types of security are systematically ensured and the stability of its indicators is maintained. The findings have a widely applied purpose and can be recommended for ministries and departments, research and educational organizations in assessing and ensuring national and specific types of security, including developing regulatory documentation, scientific and educational publications.

A humanização em saúde busca aplicar princípios como integralidade da assistência, equidade e engajamento dos usuários. Com o envelhecimento da população, prevalência das doenças crônicas e hospitalização dos idosos, a necessidade de uma assistência humanizada se torna ainda mais importante. Isso requer compreensão do processo de envelhecimento e das limitações físicas e cognitivas resultantes. Assim, o enfermeiro desempenha um papel fundamental nessa assistência, promovendo autonomia, participação ativa no cuidado, construindo vínculos de confiança e contribuindo para qualidade do cuidado. O objetivo é identificar na literatura as contribuições do enfermeiro para a assistência humanizada ao idoso hospitalizado. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada através de acesso eletrônico às bases de dados LILACS, BDENF, PUBMED, EMBASE, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE e SCIELO, realizados entre os anos 2011 e 2019. Foram identificados 15 artigos dos quais 5 foram elegíveis e incluídos na revisão. Todos os artigos foram publicados no Brasil. São pesquisas exploratórias de abordagem qualitativa e um estudo reflexivo, e oferecem análises relevantes sobre o tema. Os estudos evidenciam que ao implementar estratégias como respeito a autonomia, acolhimento, escuta ativa e atenção individualizada, o enfermeiro proporciona aos idosos um ambiente favorável a sua recuperação, respeito aos direitos e garantia de uma assistência humanizada e de qualidade.
