In Iraq, international referral programs have been adopted, governed by specific inclusion measures. Basra government has adopted an international referral program as a solution to local medical problems, which targeted several countries, mainly Turkey. Since, there has been no party evaluated this program, this study was conducted to assess an international medical referral program. To conduct the study, the assessors used the database at Basra Government offices to obtain the relevant information to be used as a reference to improve the program in the future. The total number of patients was 833, 53% of them were males and 59.42% were children. After re-assessment of medical conditions of the referred patients, 94.8% of the patients were managed successfully, 2.1% of them did not need surgery, in 1.1% the disease stage was inoperable, 0.6% were not fit from health point of view to be operated on, and 0.4% died. Comparative assessments of the program with similar programs implemented in other countries and in Iraq need to be conducted. The assessment showed a high treatment success rate among the referred patients, which can arrow to that there were some gaps in the Iraqi health system in the fields of pediatric CVS diseases, bone marrow and liver transplant and ophthalmology should be fixed. These gaps include shortage in qualified resources in Iraq.

The continuous gulp of scarce Federal Government resources in Nigeria is worrisome, as significant proportion of NNPC oil generated revenue is absorbed in the form of oil subsidy payments while, abandoning a 450 thousand refining capacity project for importation of refined petroleum products. Hence the study into Subsidy Management: The Role of Government Refineries’ Commercialization using The NLNG model. Techniques of Autoregressive Distributed Lag was deployed to examine Oil price subsidy payment(OPSP) on corporate governance quality(CGQ), economic value added proxy of NLNG dividend payment to NNPC (Dv-NLNG); while controlling for institutional quality(ISQ),external reserves (ER) and output per capita (GDPPC).The estimate result revealed that lagged value of OPSP showed that continued disbursement of subsidy payments from Nigerian Federation Account results in promotion of subsidy regime without recourse to refineries rehabilitation. Corporate governance quality exhibited an inverse relationship with oil price subsidy payments. The weak corporate governance of NNPC pave way for harsh consequences of subsidy payments and unattended issues of moribund refineries in Nigeria. Dividend received from NLNG accounts for 53 per cent, on average, to subsidy payments and empowering refinery rehabilitation. Controlling for stochastic effects of Institutional quality on subsidy management as well as capacity to revamp refineries. The finding result revealed that, weak regulatory power and lack of policy transparency hampers refineries rehabilitation, and encourages continuation of subsidy regime in spite of the allegation of corruptions. It was recommended that, the PIA should be revisited with clauses with respect to the Board of the NNPC Limited, limiting the power and discretion of the President to appoint members of the board. In this way, the firm may be completely separate from any outside influence or financial ties, allowing it to follow the guidelines of good corporate governance

Nitrous oxide: no laughing matter In this case study, the authors discuss the dangers and medical relevance of the increasing recreational use of nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is a legal and readily available gas that has been gaining popularity as a drug in recent years, especially among young people. Unlike medicinal use where the nitrous oxide is mixed with oxygen, this is not the case when it comes to nitrous oxide used as a drug. For this reason, acute intoxication can cause temporary hypoxia resulting in coordination disorders, a slight loss of consciousness and a headache. Chronic intoxication causes myelo- and neuropathy due to a functional vitamin B12 deficiency. Clinically, motor weakness, gait ataxia and sensory abnormalities are mainly observed, in which the lower limbs are classically more affected than the upper limbs. The diagnosis is based on a combination of anamnestic and clinical findings, as well as typical findings on an MRI and electromyographic examination. The administration of vitamin B12 can be considered as part of the treatment. However, cessation of the nitrous oxide abuse itself is paramount for symptoms to disappear. In the event of a suspicious clinical presentation, care providers should therefore actively inquire about possible nitrous oxide use so that timely action can be taken.

Published: July 2023

Mental health issues are becoming increasingly common among students worldwide, Kenya has not been spared. Studies have shown that approximately 20% of school students are now affected by diagnosable mental illnesses, with half of all mental issues developing by 14 years.It is further indicated that mental health problems are the leading cause of behavioral adjustment difficulties among adolescents in schools. A survey carried out in Kisii County in the year 2017, and published in the East African Medical Journal showed that 23% of the students had symptoms of depression. Despite this not much had been done to establish the coping strategies students use to manage their mental health issues. The objective of this study therefore was to establish the strategies used by students to cope with mental health issues in secondary schools in Kisii County, Kenya. The study was based on Social Control Theory by Ivan Nye (1958), which emphasizes the importance of the learning environment. When the learning environment is not conducive it will trigger mental health issues. Descriptive survey research design was used. The target population was 30,955 form two students. Yamane’s formula was employed to determine the sample size of 395 students. A questionnaire was used to collect data. A pilot study was carried out among 40 students using test- retest method of reliability. Reliability coefficient index of the instruments was determined at .78. Face and content validity of the instruments were ascertained by experts. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics in form of frequencies and percentages. Findings indicated that the key strategy students use to address their mental health issues is reaching out to parents (89.1%), followed by seeing teachers for advice/help (86.8%), and distancing oneself from friends as well as reading the word of God/ praying (77.2%), avoiding assignments that are difficult (67.3%). The least strategy used by students was seeing the school counsellor (19.2%). It was concluded that students mostly prefer seeing parents. The study therefore recommends that schools should engage parents when dealing with students` mental health issues. The study further recommends that there is need for the schools and the ministry to establish why students avoid seeing school counselors for their mental health issues yet they are the professionals trained in handling students` issues. This finding is useful to the school managers and the Ministry of Education in shedding light on the importance of engaging parents in handling students` mental health issues.

Published: July 2023

Vertikultur adalah cara bertani atau bercocok tanam menggunakan media tanam dalam wadah-wadah yang disusun secara vertikal (bertingkat) guna memanfaatkan ruang atau lahan yang terbatas (Nitisapto 1993). Vertikultur juga bisa diartikan sebagai mekanimse budidaya dalam sistem pertanian yang bertingkat dengan keterbatasan jenis lahan pertanian yang ada di wilayah perkotaan, sehingga penanaman dengan cara vertikultur dapat menjadi solusi bagi masyarakat di perkotaan. Dengan ketersediaan lahan yang sempit, metodevertikultur merupakan cara yang tepat dalam kegiatan berkebun (Hermanto et al., 2020). Tujuan dari vertikultur adalah menyiasati lahan sempit di wilayah perkotaan. Sehingga orang yang tidak memiliki lahan atau tanah tetap bisa produktif di bidang pertanian (Ariati, 2017).

Recent experience has shown that new-generation 7xxx-series alloys, that have a high Zn content and Zn/Mg ratios, have a greater susceptibility to hydrogen-environmental induced cracking (H-EIC) on exposure to humid air than more established materials, like AA7050. In this study, we report new evidence of the EIC initiation and crack growth behavior of two new-generation alloys, AA7085 and AA7449, when exposed to 50% humidity. In situ, time-lapse, optical imaging over large areas has enabled the exact initiation sites to be identified and investigated with high-resolution fractographic studies, providing evidence for the sequence and mechanisms of initiation and transition to sustained cracking. A consistent behavior was observed for both alloys. This has revealed that minute-scale corrosion reactions, involving highly localized condensed water, are necessary for initiation. The preferred initiation sites are metal ligaments between surface-connected pore clusters and/or intermetallic particles that are subjected to high-stress concentration and undergo mechanical damage with associated higher levels of local oxidation. The growth of short protocracks from these sites is a distinct stage and displays intermittent arrest markings evidenced by localized corrosion. In contrast, in humid air environments, long cracks in these alloys exhibited relatively constant, higher velocity, with extremely limited corrosion commensurate with oxidation of a free surface in this environment resulting in approximately 5 nm oxide layer.

Published: July 2023

In this study, different metal oxide alumina promoted catalysts were prepared and characterized. All the catalysts (CaO/Al2O3, CuO/Al2O3, FeO/Al2O3, MnO/Al2O3, NiO/Al2O3 and ZnO/Al2O3) were prepared using the incipient wetness impregnation method followed by drying and calcination. The characterization of all six samples of catalysts was done to determine the surface morphology, porosity, functional group, thermal stability, metal content and particle size distribution. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis of samples showed that there were pores on the surface of the alumina. Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) showed that copper oxide alumina promoted (CuO/Al2O3) had the high porosity which is 36.77 m2/g followed by zinc oxide (ZnO/Al2O3), calcium oxide (CaO/Al2O3) nickel oxide (NiO/Al2O3) manganese oxide (MnO/Al2O3) and ferric oxide alumina promoted (FeO/Al2O3) catalysts. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis showed the presence of by-product existed in all catalysts. Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) analysis showed the presence of Cu, Fe and Zn in the CuO/Al2O3, FeO/Al2O3 and ZnO/Al2O3, while Ca was absent in CaO/Al2O3. Besides, through thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA), all the catalysts showed a slight decrease in weight which can be considered as a stable catalyst. The particle size distribution analysis using the Zetasizer showed the particle size mean based on the intensity of CaO/Al2O3, CuO/Al2O3, FeO/Al2O3, MnO/Al2O3, NiO/Al2O3 and ZnO/Al2O3 were 2305 nm, 5560 nm, 5560 nm, 1281 nm, 1281 nm and 3580 nm, respectively.

Design of Fractal-Based Tri-Band Microstrip Bandpass Filter for ISM,WLAN and Wimax Applications
Authors: Radhi Nagham , Fadhil Mohammed
Published: July 2023

The Peano fractal geometries exhibit a notable ability to space filling due to their distinctive characteristics. In this study, we introduce a Peano-based first-generation flat microstrip multi-band bandpass filter. The filter is presented as a possible solution for ISM, WLAN, and WiMAX applications thanks to its design with symmetric three coupled lines and asymmetric two coupled lines. The first version of the Peano fractal curve was used to design a bandpass filter with a satisfactory response at 2.44, 3.79, and 5.75 GHz. A substrate with a relative dielectric constant of 3.48 and a thickness of 0.762 mm was used to create the filter. The filter architectures' simulated performances were assessed using the CST STUDIO SUITE-based method of moments (MoM). The results show that the proposed filter architecture has good return loss and transmission properties, in addition to its reduced size and inexpensive cost
HISTORICAL-PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPTIONS OF THE CONCEPT OF CONTRACT AND THE RULE OF LAW FOR THE NATURALIST JUS PHILOSOPHERS THOMAS HOBBES, JOHN LOCKE AND JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU
Authors: Pinho de Rezende Erickson
Published: July 2023

This work has as general objective, to seek the contribution of the philosophical foundations in the construction of the concept of State Law in the Philosophy of sec. XVI and XVII. To do so, we must also describe how Rousseau and Locke understood the right of state; To identify the influence of Rousseau and Locke in the population of his time; and, Show that the influences of these thinkers contribute in the society of today. This research will be of an eminently bibliographic nature, since it is a re-reading of the main works of each author, as well as a research to articles that deal with the subject, giving a theoretical basis for it. Nader (2014: 1) explains that “Philosophy has three classes of thinkers: philosophers, jurists and jurisfilosophists.” Already Limongi cited by Ramos; Melo; Flateschi (2015, p. 97) explains that “[...] the term Contractualism means any theory that thinks that the origin of society and political power is in a contract, a tacit or explicit agreement between those who accept to be part society and submit to that power. “ With qualitative research, they are exploratory, that is, they stimulate the interviewees to think freely about some theme, object or concept. They emerge subjective aspects and attain motivations that are not explicit, or even conscious, spontaneously. The method used will be the hypothetico-deductive, that is, science is hypothetical and provisional, not episteme or definitive knowledge, as empiricism or indutivism. In addition to the Hermeneutics of the texts of the philosophers indicated above. In analyzing the data, confront the ideas of the authors objects of study with the government and state plans that are coordinating or being developed in our society.

Estado trófico y nutriente limitante de la producción biológica en una laguna tropical somera
Authors: Marín-Leal Julio César , Méndez-Faría Marisabel , Urdaneta-Ospino Geraldin , Fernández-Álva Andreina
Published: July 2023

Las lagunas costeras son ecosistemas sometidos a niveles elevados de estrés ambiental debido a la fuerte influencia antrópica que se ejerce sobre ellos, lo que conlleva a la aceleración de su proceso de envejecimiento. Se determinaron el estado trófico y el nutriente limitante de la producción biológica en la laguna tropical. Las Peonías (Zulia, Venezuela), mediante el cálculo de cuatro índices de estado trófico (IET) y relaciones de nitrógeno/fósforo, respectivamente. Para ello, se realizaron 10 muestreos puntuales de agua superficial en 10 estaciones, analizándose los siguientes parámetros: transparencia, saturación de oxígeno disuelto, clorofila a, nitrógeno y fósforo total, mediante métodos estandarizados. De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos (IETC e IETM >74 y TRIX >7,6), la categorización trófica de la laguna es hipereutrófico, debido al alto influjo de sustancias contaminantes a partir de la cañada Iragorri y del caño Araguato. Si bien el elemento limitante es el nitrógeno, las concentraciones generales de los nutrientes son elevadas, contribuyendo al proceso de eutrofia que se desarrolla en este cuerpo de agua. Estos hallazgos sirven para el entendimiento ecológico del ecosistema y la formulación de planes de manejo integral del recurso hídrico.

Automatic detection of melanoma in dermoscopic images of skin lesions
Authors:   , Jooravan Amith
Published: July 2023

Melanoma, which is an aggressive form of skin cancer, has the highest mortality rate of all skin cancers, especially if there is a late diagnosis. The diagnosis of melanoma is usually conducted in two stages; initially an invasive biopsy of a skin lesion under concern is conducted and subsequently the respective removed tissue undergoes laboratory analysis. A crucial component of the first stage is the highly subjective process of determining which skin lesions require a biopsy. The biopsy process may be painful, costly and time consuming, however in healthcare, a case of false positive may result in a patient being unnecessarily alarmed, while a case of false negative, a type-2 error that does not detect a positive case, may have dire consequences. This is owing, in the main, to the survival rate of melanoma being correlated to the stage of the cancer when first diagnosed. This research proposes a non-invasive method to assist with the reduction of false negative classifications associated with skin lesions that are considered as benign candidates instead of melanoma. In this research, 218 dermoscopic images from the Interactive Atlas of Dermoscopy dataset were used. The selected lesions were in early stages of melanoma, being in situ or less than 0,76mm thick. Of these, 178 were used for training and 40 for testing. The training and test dataset were balanced, comprising a 50/50 split, for melanoma and non-melanoma cases. Three classification algorithms were considered in this research; these include k-nearest neighbours (KNN), Naïve Bayes and linear support vector machine (LSVM). To identify potential candidates of skin lesions for biopsy, the algorithms consider the asymmetry, border, colour, and diameter of the skin lesions; this is referred to as the ABCD rule. This research proposes the use of a LSVM machine learning algorithm to classify a skin lesion as being either melanoma or non-melanoma with a view of minimising false negative rate of the investigated classification algorithms. Classification accuracy of 87.5% and a false negative rate of 5% is achieved.
Autonomous switching of electric locomotives in neutral sections
Authors:   , Mcineka Christopher Thembinkosi
Published: July 2023

Abstract Electrical locomotives traversing in a neutral section must switch off as they enter a different phase voltage. The current system used to auto-switch these electric locomotives requires two pairs of induction magnets installed adjacent in-between the rails and two sensors installed underneath the locomotives. However, the return cost of investment is low, maintenance costs increase due to failures, and locomotives do not auto-switch due to the degradation of magnet strength. Additionally, damage to sensors due to animal collisions or objects also causes switching failures, and vandalism and theft are some of the challenges limiting this switching scheme. Furthermore, the latter switching method does not align with the Transnet 4.0 strategy aimed at adopting the Fourth Industrial Revolution (41R). Therefore, to align with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, this research proposed a computer vision-based approach to switch electric locomotives automatically. The requirements are a computer, a high-definition camera, and open and close markers. While the latter gives an overview of the hardware used, creating a new dataset with training and testing images allowed for developing a machine learning classification model. Firstly, image pre-processing converts the RGB images to greyscale then the noise is removed using a bilateral filter. Secondly, segmentation and marker extraction is performed by employing the Sobel operator and Circular Hough Transform. Thirdly, features are extracted using a Histogram of Oriented Gradients and employing Linear Support Vector Machine to perform classification. However, before selecting the latter classifier, the feature extractor is tested against Quadratic Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbour and Convolutional Neural Network. The model's accuracy is then measured using the training set and ground truth dataset. The test set is used to validate the model with evaluation methods such as a confusion matrix, Fl-measure and 2-fold cross­ validation.
