Authors:   Legal Practitioner, Bola Olalere & Co. 6 Laadco Estate, Lafenwa, Abeokuta, Nigeria, Abimbola Olalere Fasilat
Published: April 2024

Vicarious liability is an English law principle that is rooted in antiquity. It entails the transfer the liability of a persons’ negligent or tortious action to another person as a result of the relation relationship existing between both parties. Traditionally, vicarious liability has usually been applied in instances where employee/employer relationship exists between the tortfeasor and the third party and when the tortious act occurred ‘in the course of employment’. Through a case law analysis, this paper examined how vicarious liability principle has transitioned beyond its traditional conception over the ages. For instance, the Wilson and Clyde Case infused the non-delegable duties dimension of vicarious liability. The paper adopts the doctrinal methodology through examination of primary sources such as case laws and secondary sources such as opinion of authors and other scholarly works on the topic. Different jurisprudence has been reflected in the interpretation of the vicarious liability principle in different cases. The study submits that the implication of the inconsistencies in the interpretation of the principle is the uncertainty which has been created as to the true state of the law on the subject.

Authors:   School of Law, Kampala International University, Kampala, Uganda, Ismail Adebowale Hassan
Published: April 2024

Information technology is the new face of the World system from which comes the legal education system and it is well in sync with the present generation of students in this new information age. Law teachers and students are gradually catching up with this new innovation with the introduction of clinical legal education in most of the law faculties in Nigeria. Also, the incorporation of the Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS) into the Nigerian Universities System, and the mandatory implementation of the clinical legal education in Nigerian law faculties are strong indications that the law faculties in Nigeria are open to innovations and technology in their teaching methodologies. The paper explains the regulatory reforms introduced by the National Universities Commission and the Council of Legal Education which are paradigm shift from the traditional teaching methods to students’ friendly modern learning approach. The paper concludes that law teachers are also in need of training as the teachers cannot impart the skills they do not possess. The paper, therefore, recommends that the Council of Legal Education should work together with the National Universities Commission for proper implementation of the new teaching innovations in Nigeria.

Across the globe sexual harassment as a global epidemic is one of the most widespread age-long social problems and crimes against woman albeit with varied pervasiveness and practice within the universities. Research on female students’ experience of violence in UK campuses found that one in four respondents had experienced unwanted sexual behaviour. In USA about 300,000 women are raped and 3.7 million are confronted with unwanted sexual activity annually while at Jimma University in Ethiopia, of 385 women at the University, 78.2% had experienced different forms of harassment. Consequences of sexual harassment in higher education include unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, increased alcohol use impaired career opportunities, reduced job motivation, decreased job satisfaction, decreased self-confidence and self-image, and more. Nine out of ten of the world’s countries have laws against sexual harassment in working life today, but almost six out of ten lack adequate laws against sexual harassment in higher education and schools. Nigeria is certainly not exempted. The paper finds that in spite of the efforts of the Nigerian government to combat this systemic epidemic the problem has not abated. Therefore, using the doctrinal research methodology, the paper examines the legal impediments to protection from sexual harassment in Nigerian universities with a view to proffering some recommendations towards elimination of the endemic problem in Nigerian Universities

Authors:   Benguet State University, Philippines, Donguiz Renebeth Gatudan
Published: April 2024

This paper explores the concept of organizational communication by tracing it from the perspective of Levinasian face-to-face dialogue in today’s contemporary interpretation of management in general and organizations in particular. This paper made use of positivist and constructivist philosophical frameworks for research. The data were gathered using a questionnaire checklist. The data were described, measured, and tested to interpret the perception of the government employees in face-to-face dialogue. The results implied a weak application of face-to-face dialogue where face-to-face communication with superiors is not fully observed and there is a high degree of communication barriers. There were a few individuals who hoard information and benefitted from the information they were hoarding. Inter-departmental communication was not fully observed, and face-to-face dialogues were not being utilized to improve job performance and meet organizational goals and objectives. Information from colleagues was not always accurate and detailed. This paper has implications for organizational, leadership, and managerial as it imposes behavioral change by anchoring its concepts from the Levinisian perspective of face-to-face dialogue.

Authors: Murtama Abram Julion , Falianty Telisa Aulia
Published: April 2024

One of the problems faced by developing countries, including Indonesia, is income inequality. It is hoped that digitalization of financial inclusion can solve this problem. Increasing financial inclusion is expected to make financial services more accessible to everyone, especially for poor groups who previously did not have access to financial services. This research aims to analyze the role of digitalization of financial inclusion in reducing income gaps using empirical evidence from 33 provinces in Indonesia during the 2013-2022 period, using the fixed effects estimation method. The results of this study indicate that financial inclusion has a negative and significant impact on the Williamson index. This means that increasing financial inclusion can reduce income inequality. The decomposition results for each dimension show that the access dimension has a significant effect on reducing income inequality in Indonesia, while the usage dimension shows a positive influence on income inequality, but the presence of the SNKI policy in Indonesia in 2016-2022 has a negative influence on income inequality in Indonesia.

Published: April 2024

Background: Occupational exhaustion, or burnout, is characterized with three components: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and sense of decreased personal accomplishment. Advanced practice providers (APPs) in oncology care are at particular risk for burnout. Methods: This was a prospective, comparative, descriptive study utilizing a convenience sample of oncology APPs who completed the Advanced Practice Provider Oncology Web Education Resource (AP-POWER; formerly Oncology Nurse Practitioner Web Education Resource, or ONc-PoWER), developed to provide educational content for new oncology APPs. The study purpose was to utilize the AP-POWER alumni to describe the level of burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory) as well as resilience (Brief Resilience Scale) after at least 1 year in oncology practice, and to compare these scores according to the number of APP oncology practice years. Results: Of the 133 questionnaires emailed, 30 were returned (22.6% response) and 27 completed (20.3%). Within the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the mean score of the emotional exhaustion subscale was 25.19 (standard deviation [SD] 12.74; high degree of occupational exhaustion), depersonalization 7.74 (SD 5.98; moderate degree), and personal achievement 31.85 (SD 6.20; low degree). The resilience scores had a mean of 22.52 (SD 3.37; normal range). Resiliency was positively associated with personal accomplishment. There was no difference in burnout among newer (< 3 years) and more experienced (> 3 years) oncology APPs. Discussion: Oncology APPs report key indications of burnout, including a high degree of emotional exhaustion and moderate depersonalization, which was not mitigated through resiliency. Conclusions/Implications: The results are worrisome. Burnout scores for oncology APPs are high. Resiliency is present but is not protective for burnout. Strategies must be developed institutionally to support these key cancer care providers.

Published: April 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this integrative literature review was to determine factors that increase the risk of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)–related myocarditis in the cancer patient population. Methods: A literature review was conducted using the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Review. Dates searched were from inception through March 1, 2022. Inclusion criteria included English language, cancer patients receiving ICI treatment, and risk factors for myocarditis. Articles were excluded if they were a non-human study, duplicate, had an irrelevant title or content, or were a review or commentary. Results: Patients with cancer who receive ICIs have an associated increased risk of myocarditis if they are older than 64 years, have a body mass index (BMI) greater than 28, and have a history of cardiovascular medication use. Conclusions: Myocarditis remains a rare cardiovascular adverse effect of ICIs. However, the mortality risk among this subset of patients remains high. Additional prospective randomized-controlled trials would be beneficial to further determine a causal relationship between risk factors for ICI-related myocarditis. Risk stratification tools may allow oncology medical providers to identify patients at a higher risk of ICI-related myocarditis to increase earlier surveillance.

Enzymes such as chitinase, proteinase and lipase are involved in the breakdown of insect cuticles. Their pathogenicity, virulence and specificity largely depend on the secretion of these enzymes by different microorganisms. Thus, the level of enzyme activity may also represent a diagnostic tool for selecting an effective biological control agent. In the present study, 20 different isolates of entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Beauveria were used and their lipolytic, chitinolytic and proteolytic activities were determined. Enzyme activities are assessed qualitatively according to the presence of a zone of lightening due to their degrading action and quantitatively expressed as a ratio between the zone of enzyme activity and the diameter of the colony. PCR analysis with gene-specific primers located in the sequence of the Beauveria bassiana chitinase - chitinase (chit1) gene (ACC AY145440) was also carried out. Amplifications of fragments with an expected length of 1225 bp were detected in the majority of Beauveria isolates studied. The studied isolates of the genus Beauveria differ in their lipolytic, proteolytic and chitin-degrading abilities. The highest total activity was found in four of them 336, 340, 487 and 501 and could be related to their virulence. The information on the enzymatic activities of the studied isolates will be necessary for the development of an efficient preparation for the biological control of the enemies.

The research aims to determine the effect on the dynamics of accumulation of absolutely dry biomass by development phases in maize (Zea mays L) under non-irrigated conditions and fertilization with mineral and organic fertilizers. The field experiment was carried out in 2023 at the Bozhurishte experimental base of ISSAPP “N. Pushkarov”, Sofia region, on the soil type Leached Smolnitsa (Haplic Vertisols, FAO). The study included 7 fertilization variants in 3 replications. Analyzes of absolute dry matter in the biomass of one plant by stages of development in maize - “9-10th” leaf and “milk maturity” were carried out, and total dry biomass yield by phases of leaves + stems and leaves + stems + cobs. Data were obtained for absolutely dry biomass from the part of early maize grown under non-irrigated conditions. It was established that in the formation of the yield of absolutely dry biomass in maize, in all investigated phases (“9-10th” leaf and “milk maturity”), the independent and combined use of fertilization with mineral and organic fertilizers (with plant and animal origin) had a positive effect on the amount of accumulated absolutely dry biomass (leaves + stems and leaves + stems + cobs), with the lowest results in both investigated phases being found in the variant without included fertilization (V1). In the “9-10th” leaf phase, the greatest effect on the obtained total yield of leaves and stems was achieved with the variant with combined use of mineral fertilizers (V2), followed by variant V6 - combined use of mineral fertilizers and organic fertilizer of animal origin Fertilpolina. In the “milk maturity” phase, the greatest effect of the total yield of absolutely dry biomass of leaves and stems was achieved in the variant with the combined use of mineral fertilizers (V2), followed by the variant of the joint combined use of mineral fertilizers plus organic fertilizer Leili alga soil (V5), closely followed by V6, in which the plant-based organic fertilizer Leili is replaced by the animal-based organic fertilizer Fertilpolina. Therefore, the analyzed indicator - absolutely dry biomass establishes a similar trend in both phases of corn development in the second fertilization option
Surgical treatment of breast cancer

Surgical treatment of breast cancer has changed towards less invasive procedures as summarised in this review. Breast conserving surgery (BCS) and radiotherapy (RT) are now recommended as standard of care. Several flexible marking methods for removal of non-palpable tumours have gradually replaced wire-guided localisation. Neoadjuvant systemic treatment increases tumour shrinkage and BCS and may lead to omission of axillary clearance (AC). The prognostic significance of AC in patients with metastases to 1–2 sentinel nodes at primary surgery is questioned. Results from the SENOMAC trial are expected to change guidelines from AC to axillary RT.
