Relationship between Physical Activity Levels and Sleep Quality in College Students
Authors: Njoka Emily
Published: August 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between physical activity levels and sleep quality in college students.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study showed that students who engage in regular physical activity tend to experience better sleep quality compared to their less active peers. Regular exercise appears to enhance various aspects of sleep, including sleep duration, sleep onset latency (the time it takes to fall asleep), and sleep efficiency (the percentage of time spent asleep while in bed). Additionally, physically active students often report fewer sleep disturbances and improved overall restfulness. The type and intensity of physical activity also play crucial roles. Moderate to vigorous physical activities, such as aerobic exercises and strength training, have been particularly effective in promoting better sleep quality. These activities help regulate circadian rhythms, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and alleviate stress, all of which contribute to more restful and uninterrupted sleep. Conversely, a lack of physical activity is associated with poorer sleep outcomes. Sedentary behavior, common among college students due to academic pressures and lifestyle choices, can lead to sleep problems such as insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness. Furthermore, inadequate sleep can negatively impact academic performance, mental health, and overall well-being, creating a cyclical problem where poor sleep and inactivity reinforce each other.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Self-determination theory (SDT), stress and coping theory and circadian rhythm theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the relationship between physical activity levels and sleep quality in college students. Colleges and universities should create and promote structured physical activity programs tailored for students. Universities should develop health-integrated policies that promote physical activity as a fundamental component of student life.
Influence of pH on the Stability of Pharmaceutical Compounds in Japan
Authors: Vardan Victor
Published: August 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the influence of pH on the stability of pharmaceutical compounds in Japan.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study showed that the ionization state of a drug molecule can change with pH, leading to different degradation pathways. Acidic or basic conditions can catalyze hydrolysis, oxidation, and other chemical reactions, causing the drug to lose potency or form harmful by-products. For instance, ester and amide bonds in pharmaceuticals are prone to hydrolysis at extreme pH levels, while oxidative degradation is more prevalent at neutral or slightly basic pH. The stability of certain antibiotics, vitamins, and biologics is particularly pH-sensitive, necessitating careful formulation to maintain optimal pH levels. Buffer systems are often employed to stabilize the pH within a range that minimizes degradation. Additionally, the pH of the solution can influence the solubility and bioavailability of the drug, impacting its therapeutic efficacy. Thus, understanding and controlling the pH environment is crucial in pharmaceutical formulation to ensure drug stability, efficacy, and safety throughout its shelf life.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Buffer theory, Arrhenius theory of acid-base reactions and Bronsted Lowry theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the influence of pH on the stability of pharmaceutical compounds in Japan. Practically, it is imperative for pharmaceutical companies to implement rigorous pH control in the formulation and storage of drugs. On a policy level, regulatory agencies should establish stringent guidelines for the pH stability of pharmaceutical compounds.

Published: August 2024

Nursing department workers are the largest group in a school clinic. They are also the most important of the human resources. The emotional burden of witnessing the stages of life is accompanied by the heavy work that creates an extremely high level of pressure. This is also an obstacle to a good doctor-patient relationship. Therefore, it emerges as an important research topic that can help to improve the situation as well as promote psychological health and self-efficacy of the school clinic staff. In order to fill in this research gap, school clinic staff of universities in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region were selected as the research participants. A total of 450 copies of the questionnaire were distributed to the potential respondents. After removing the invalid and incomplete ones, 364 valid copies were retrieved, with a retrieval rate of 81%. The collected data were tested using Amos to understand the relationships among positive leadership, optimistic attitude, and self-efficacy. As a result of the analyses, it was found out that when they have a positive attitude, leaders of the clinic staff in universities can improve the attachment and self-confidence of the school clinic staff. This encourages them to have a higher level of willingness to contribute to the development of the institution. Another finding of the study was that a university leader should adopt a hands-on, positive paradigm to enable continuous development and create a positive working environment. Finally, it was found out that if a university leader builds a positive energy network, he can improve the coherence among the staff and encourage them to be willing to contribute by modelling other workers. According to the results, it is expected that this study will help clinic staff to generate optimistic attitude which promotes self-efficacy.

Impact of Monitoring Activities and Social Ties on the Repayment Problems of group-Based Lending-Evidence from Vietnam
Authors: Ba-Tri Tran , Truong Loc Dong , Tien Pham Phat
Published: August 2024

This study examines how monitoring activities by group leaders and social ties within groups influence repayment rates in the Vietnam Bank for Social Policy’s group lending program in the Mekong Delta. Data used in this paper was obtained from a survey of 675 members from lending groups in 5 provinces in the Mekong Delta in September 2022. The analysis finds a negative relationship between the leader’s social ties and repayment rates, implying that strong social ties might hinder enforcement. However, the impact of leader monitoring, member-level monitoring, and social ties was not statistically significant. Interestingly, group characteristics like size and regulations may play a more significant role in reducing repayment problems.
“Opportunities for Indigenizing Mathematics Pedagogies and Practices in Southern Province, Zambia”
Authors: Kadonsi Dr. Kaziya
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the opportunities perceived by teachers in implementing indigenized mathematics education in Southern Province, Zambia. Indigenized education aims to integrate indigenous knowledge and cultural practices into mainstream curricula, enhancing educational relevance and inclusivity. Employing a sequential exploratory mixed-methods design, this research collected quantitative data from structured questionnaires distributed to 55 mathematics teachers and qualitative data from in-depth interviews with 15 teachers. The findings reveal multiple perceived benefits of indigenized mathematics education. Teachers reported that such an approach enhances student understanding and engagement by making mathematical concepts more relatable to students’ cultural contexts. It also fosters a sense of pride and identity, bridges the gap between traditional knowledge and formal education, and strengthens school-community relationships. The study underscores the necessity of professional development programs focused on indigenous pedagogies, the creation of culturally relevant teaching materials, and the active involvement of indigenous communities in educational processes. The results highlight significant opportunities for improving mathematics education through the integration of indigenous knowledge. These insights provide a foundation for policy and practice enhancements aimed at creating a more inclusive and culturally responsive educational system. Future research should focus on expanding sample sizes, examining long-term impacts of professional development and curriculum reforms, conducting comparative studies, and exploring interdisciplinary approaches to further understand the benefits and challenges of indigenized education.

Published: August 2024

Sri Lanka has recognized wildlife tourism as an industry that may be utilized to deviate from conventional tourism offerings. The country possesses all the necessary attributes to emerge as Asia’s next prominent wildlife destination, owing to its abundant natural resources. The key to achieving success in this endeavor is to offer a distinctive and quality wildlife experience for foreign visitors in the country’s national parks. The flagship of this expedition, according to numerous wildlife and tourism specialists, is Yala National Park.. Nevertheless, it is apparent that Yala National Park, the most frequented and highly regarded national park in Sri Lanka, is grappling with several significant challenges that adversely impact its global standing. It’s still unknown if these problems affect how visitors view the wildlife in national parks. Thus, this study explores the main obstacles Yala National Park in Sri Lanka has faced from stakeholders’ perspectives, how they affect park visitors’ on-site wildlife viewing experiences, and the nation’s efforts to become the world’s top wildlife tourism destination. This study is conducted as a qualitative study and employs a single-case design. Data was gathered through in-depth interviews with 18 participants from nine stakeholder categories. These participants were in Tissamaharama, the nearest town to Yala National Park. Participants identified eight distinct categories of significant issues faced by Yala National Park. The study findings disclosed that these crucial concerns have had a detrimental impact on the overall quality of on-site wildlife viewing for foreign tourists, undermining the country’s aspirations to be recognized as a premier global wildlife destination. The government and stakeholders of Yala National Park must comprehend this predicament swiftly. Resolving these vital concerns promptly is of utmost importance to enhance the on-site wildlife viewing experience for foreign visitors in Yala and position Sri Lanka as the Africa of Asia.

Published: August 2024

The federal, state, and local governments in Nigeria rely on oil revenues for about 90% of their annual export earnings. Despite the abundance of oil in Nigeria dating back to 1956, the country still struggles to meet the fuel needs of its citizens. Currently, the country’s refineries are not producing anything, leading to the emergence of artisanal refineries in oil-producing states and communities to fill the gap in petroleum products. This situation presents various socio-economic and public health challenges. The study was conducted to evaluate the socio-economic and public health effects of artisanal crude oil refining activities in South-South Nigeria. Questionnaires were used to gather data from the communities and locals involved in artisanal refining activities and the questionnaire was distributed and retrieved from April, 2023 to November, 2023. A total of 1200 questionnaire were administered on community dwellers across the three states of Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta States in South-South Nigeria, however, 1140 of the questionnaires administered on community dwellers were returned. This implies that 95% of the copies of questionnaire administered were returned. The study results indicated that setting up an artisanal refinery typically takes one to two weeks, and the expenses for establishing one range from N201000 to N400000. Furthermore, the research highlighted that the economic benefits encompassed community development and sustenance of families, the study also reveals that there are several adverse environmental and health impact of artisanal refining of crude oil in the study area, study however recommends that there is need for a robust approach to crude oil refining locally.
CÂNCER DE COLO DE ÚTERO NO BRASIL: UMA ANÁLISE DAS DISPARIDADES NO RASTREIO SEGUNDO A ESCOLARIDADE
Authors: Gomes da Silva Júlia , Da Silva Paiva Laercio , De Alcantara Sousa Luis Vinícius
Published: August 2024

O Sistema de Informações do Câncer de Colo do Útero (SISCOLO) é uma importante ferramenta de acompanhamento da prevenção e tratamento do câncer de colo uterino (CCU), todavia, muitas mulheres ainda não são plenamente aderidas. Método: Estudo ecológico com dados secundários referentes ao motivo de realização do exame (rastreamento, repetição e seguimento) em brasileiras de 25 a 69 anos e fatores associados (2013-2022). Dados coletados no site do DataSUS. Resultados: Analisando a escolaridade, foi percebida diferença estatística entre realização de exames de mulheres com ensino médio completo e analfabetas (p=0,040). Segundo as regiões, o número total de exames não apresentou diferenças estatísticas. A maioria dos exames realizados é de Rastreamento e não foi encontrada correlação estatisticamente significativa entre escolaridade e motivo de Rastreamento em nenhuma das regiões (p > 0,05). Discussão: É possível inferir que a escolaridade não está diretamente relacionada com a taxa de realização de exames de citologia oncótica, diferente do que cita Garbanati e colaboradores (2019) ao citarem que a realização de exames é menor em mulheres com menor escolaridade e baixa renda. Além disso, o exame de papanicolaou como forma de rastreamento do CCU se mostrou eficaz quando comparado aos outros. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a citologia oncótica é a principal ferramenta de rastreamento de CCU e deve ser amplamente difundida para as mulheres pelo Brasil, já que a escolaridade não está relacionada com a realização da citologia e que sua realização é eficaz se comparado aos exames de repetição e seguimento.

Authors: Fogaça de Moraes William Matheus
Published: August 2024

A facilitação das comunicações e do comércio e a livre circulação de bens, serviços e pessoas permitiram a redução de distâncias e favoreceram a integração dos Estados. Todavia, a criminalidade organizada também se aproveitou dos avanços proporcionados pela globalização para movimentar ativos resultantes de atividades criminosas entre jurisdições diversas. Diante do relevante impacto que o confisco dos bens e lucros resultantes de crimes tem nas atividades de organizações criminosas, os Estados criam novos instrumentos para o enfrentamento ao crime organizado. O presente artigo contextualiza esta fase para em seguida abordar previsões contidas em instrumentos internacionais concebidos para enfrentar a criminalidade transnacional e a lavagem de capitais. Também é abordado o papel do GAFI/FATF e sua importância para a prevenção e combate a lavagem de capitais bem como a opção originária do legislador pátrio em adotar uma legislação que limitava o número de crimes antecedentes e a posterior evolução legislativa, em sintonia com os tratados internacionais. Por fim, se discutiu a possibilidade de criminalização da autolavagem no ordenamento pátrio e a evolução do tema no direito comparado. A partir do estudo realizado se conclui que a harmonização das legislações domésticas e a criminalização da autolavagem constituem práticas que estão em sintonia com os mecanismos concebidos para o enfrentamento adequado da lavagem de capitais decorrentes de crimes graves. Adotou-se o método dedutivo por meio da pesquisa, análise de conteúdo, revisão bibliográfica de livros, pesquisa e exame de instrumentos internacionais relativos ao tema abordado.

Published: August 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to tribal communities in the Alluri Sitaramaraju district, exacerbating pre-existing vulnerabilities in healthcare, education, and economic stability. This study examines the role of media in addressing these challenges, focusing on how media coverage—or the lack thereof—impacted public perception and policy responses during the pandemic. Tribal areas, often marginalized in mainstream media, faced significant hardships, including limited access to healthcare, disruptions in education due to the digital divide, economic losses, and the erosion of cultural practices. The media's role was critical in disseminating information, advocating for tribal rights, and highlighting the specific needs of these communities. However, coverage was often constrained by the remoteness of tribal regions and a focus on urban areas, leading to underreporting of the pandemic's impact on these vulnerable populations. This abstract outlines the study's exploration of the intersection between media, tribal communities, and public health, with a view to understanding the gaps in coverage and identifying ways to promote more inclusive media practices that could influence better policy-making in future crises.
Scrotoschisis in Newborn: A Rare Congenital Anomaly

Published: August 2024

Scrotoschisis is a congenital anomaly characterized by a scrotal wall defect and testicular extrusion. Despite the fact that the aetiology is yet unknown, a few possible mechanisms have been found. Although it is a rare disorder, a small number of cases have been reported. A full-term infant was born through normal vaginal delivery, and examination showed that the infant had right scrotoschisis. The exposed and swollen right testis was wrapped, and antibiotics were administered intravenously. Before any further intervention, a multidisciplinary meeting and family counselling were held.  The right hemiscrotal defect measured 4 x 2 cm intraoperatively, and the right testis was swollen. Orchidopexy was performed successfully, and the epithelial fissure was closed. The infant was discharged in good condition on the fifth day of life. A clinical assessment of testicular function is necessary and will be scheduled during follow-up. This case of unilateral scrotoschisis illustrates the necessity of prompt multidisciplinary evaluation and parental counselling for optimal outcomes associated with this uncommon finding. Transdisciplinary discussion and family support are essential for care optimization.

Published: August 2024

Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) and autoinflammatory disorders present major challenges in clinical medicine due to their complexity and varied symptoms. PIDs heighten the risk of infections, autoinflammatory conditions, allergies, and cancers, impacting approximately six million people worldwide. This article reviews recent developments in the understanding and management of antibody deficiencies particularly Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), which is a condition caused by genetic abnormalities especially those involving the NFKB2 gene. Clinical cases highlight the challenges in managing CVID and underscore the necessity of targeted treatments, such as rituximab, for cases that do not respond to standard therapies. Autoinflammatory diseases characterized by episodes of unprovoked inflammation are also explored, with a focus on monogenic disorders such as Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS) and Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). Advances in targeted therapies particularly IL-1 inhibitors, have shown significant promise in managing the conditions, reducing the frequency of flare-ups, and improving quality of life. This article concluded by emphasizing the need for ongoing research into the pathophysiology of these disorders, creating novel biomarkers for early identification, and international collaboration to enhance patient care and outcomes.

Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) is a vital oilseed crop in India, contributing significantly to the country’s agricultural economy. However, its production faces challenges such as nutrient deficiencies, soil degradation, and fluctuating market conditions. Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) emerges as a sustainable approach to address these challenges by optimizing nutrient use efficiency, improving soil health, and enhancing crop productivity. This abstract explores the impact of INM practices on Indian mustard cultivation. Through a comprehensive review of literature and field studies, it highlights the efficacy of INM in enhancing mustard production. By integrating organic sources, such as farmyard manure and vermicompost, with inorganic fertilizers and biofertilizers, INM ensures a balanced supply of essential nutrients, thereby promoting robust plant growth and development. Furthermore, INM contributes to soil fertility enhancement, microbial activity stimulation, and soil structure improvement, fostering long-term sustainability in mustard cultivation. Economically, INM proves beneficial by optimizing input costs, increasing yields, and enhancing farmer profitability. Overall, the adoption of integrated nutrient management holds immense potential in enhancing Indian mustard production, ensuring food security, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices in the region.
