Ethics Education for Contemporary Clinical Pharmacy Practice in Nigeria: Shortfalls and Needs
Authors: Okoro Roland N.
Published: September 2020

The past decade has witnessed a shift in the ambitions of pharmacists away from the core role of dispensing medicines towards more interesting and rewarding relationships and responsibilities with other healthcare providers and patients. The patient-centred role of pharmacists has allowed ethical issues experienced in medical practice to surface in pharmacy practice, resulting in an increase in the number and variety of ethical dilemmas that pharmacists face in their routine pharmacy practice. Pharmacy education prepares pharmacy students for practice and must be in tune with the professional dynamics. Many countries that provide patient-centered pharmacy services have redesigned pharmacy ethics education while others are in various stages of revision of their curriculum in order to adequately equip future pharmacists with the rudiments required to handle ethical issues in clinical pharmacy practice. In contrast, in Nigeria, little or no pharmacy ethics is taught to pharmacy students and the challenge lies with the curriculum design and method of teaching.
Dignity, Community and Albinism in Malawi
Authors: Nyirenda Vitumbiko
Published: September 2020

Thaddeus Metz, “African conceptions of human dignity” (2012), presents an African conception of dignity that he relates to human rights. In this paper, while ignoring Metz’s discussion on human rights, I specifically look at how this conception can be applied to one of the problematic moral issues, killing of persons with albinism.  That is, how Metz’s view would account for exclusion and wrongness of killing of persons with albinism. I argue that the killing of persons with albinism is acting in violation of their dignity. This comes from the view that persons with Albinism are human beings with a dignity, and therefore ought not to be killed. I offer a discussion on how dignity as capacity for community based on shared identity and good-will is not reflected in the way persons with albinism are treated in Malawi.
Pharmaceutical Promotion in Bangladesh: Assessing the Strength of Regulatory Documents
Authors: Johora Fatema , Rahman Md Sayedur
Published: September 2020

Pharmaceutical promotion is a negative influencing force for prescribing. However, very few regulatory initiatives are taken to overcome this unwarranted influence. The present research was conducted in such context with an attempt to review the regulatory documents related to pharmaceutical promotion in Bangladesh including Code of Pharmaceutical Marketing Practices (CPMP), and to compare CPMP with different global guidelines. The studied guidelines demonstrate effort to regulate promotion, though that varies to a great extent, particularly in enforcement aspects. Clearly defined ethical and legal prohibitions, provisions of punishment for violations and entrusted agency with defined authority are crucial.

Paradoxes of Business: Towards A Practice Model to Attend to Paradox Tensions in Organizations and Develop the Leaders of Tomorrow
Authors: Mechiche Mourad
Published: September 2020

Paradoxes in business i.e. strategy paradoxes, leadership paradoxes, management and organizational paradoxes are inseparable from organizations’ front-end decision making. Existing literature has examined these paradoxes in mainly diverse theory driven perspectives that pointed towards the need to develop a learning cycle to sustain a practical model to help in navigating the business paradoxes. The aim of this paper is to uncover the best possible practical approach that would facilitate the process of navigating the paradoxes in organizations. I review a vast array of paradox and brain plasticity literature and conclude that a change in leadership behaviour towards accepting, embracing, and exercising these paradoxes in a form of a business simulation is crucial. Thus, I propose a learning model to sustain and support this practical model.
A Language for Dealing with Emotions in Product Innovation: A Proposal
Authors: Alaniz Teresa , Biazzo Stefano
Published: September 2020

The knowledge of emotions is essential in a wide spectrum of designs created for the customer (e.g. product design, service design, graphic design, food design). The complexity of designing a product-service system to provoke intended emotions involves the need to formulate a shareable, natural, and unambiguous language. This paper presents a language framework to discuss emotions in product innovation, which is composed of three key concepts: the human-product emotional interactions, a categorization of positive emotions and the emotional-jobs-to-be-done. An exploratory survey with an international community of designers has been implemented in order to review the acceptance and understanding of this framework. The results of the exploratory survey have been the basis of the final refinement of the proposed language, which consists of 1) three categories of human-product emotional interaction, 2) 19 positive emotion types, and 3) 19 emotional jobs-to-done.

Authors: Margahana Helisia
Published: September 2020

Resources owned by agencies will not provide optimum results if they are not supported by human resources who have optimum performance. Assessing the quality of existing human resources can be measured by employee performance. Performance can be a means for an agency to measure the ability of employees in an agency. This study aims to determine and analyze the important role of supervision and its impact on employee performance of Manpower and Transmigration Office at the East OKU. The hypothesis proposed is the existence of a strong influence between supervision on employee performance of Manpower and Transmigration Office at the East OKU.From the calculation results obtained r = 0.368. After consultation with conservative standards it turns out that 0.368 is located between 0.200 - 0.399 which is included in the low correlation. Then to answer the hypothesis test proposed in the previous chapter has a relationship or not, then tested with a hypothesis test and obtained t count = 1.118. While the t table value at the 95% confidence level for (n - 2) = 1,860. Then it can be seen that the t value of 1.118 is greater than the value of t table that is = 1.860, thus it means that (Ho) can be accepted and (Ha) rejected
Pay Gaps and Mobility for Lower and Upper Tier Informal Sector Employees: an investigation of the Turkish labor market
Authors: Duman Anil
Published: September 2020

In our paper, we carry this analysis for Turkey and estimate the wage gap between formal and informal sector workers utilizing panel data from Survey of Income and Living Conditions (SILC) for the period of 2014 and 2017. We consider observable and unobservable characteristics with a fixed effect model, and for sensitivity tests we regard the possibility of nonlinearity in covariate effects and estimate a variant of matching models. Our results show that informal wage penalty is persistent even after unobserved heterogeneity is taken into account, however, the penalty is not statistically significant at the upper end of the wage distribution. There are important differences between regular and irregular workers in terms earnings reductions, and the latter also has slightly lower probability of moving out of informal employment. We also demonstrate that the mobility of lower and upper tier informal workers is affected by different variables.
Non-Standard Employment and Wage Differences across Gender: a quantile regression approach
Authors: Duman Anil
Published: September 2020

The paper aims to identify the effect of non-standard employment on wages in the Turkish labour market across gender and decompose the gap to understand the role of endowments and returns in generating the earning differences. Our findings show that non-standard employment reduces wages for women at every quantile but no such results are attained for men. Besides, females with standard jobs in Turkey earn more than men, however, the opposite holds for females in non-standard positions. Also, a big part of the gender pay gap is attributable to returns, especially at the lower end of the distribution. Women in low-paid and atypical jobs face larger pay gaps, and the role of unexplained component suggests they are discriminated. The distinct impact of non-standard employment on men and women suggest that policies geared towards labour market flexibilisation should take gender perspective into account.

Cervical cancer is a disease that can be prevented through early detection. However, cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of death for women globally due to the low coverage of cervical cancer screening. An intervention is needed to increase the coverage of cervical cancer screening. This study aimed to provide current evidence of effective interventions to improve cervical cancer screening coverage, especially with low socio-economic conditions. This study uses a systematic design review to review the literature that has been evaluated in a structured, classified, and categorized based on evidence-based previously. The study's inclusion characteristics are as follows: all article searches are limited to those in English or Indonesian only, and scan bibliography to identify relevant articles, method design is RCT studies, or quasi-experiments. The study results found the characteristics of the article as follows: the majority of studies were conducted in the Americas, two studies in Asia, and one in Europe. The respondents' age varied from> 18 years to 75 years; the number of samples ranged from 102 to 12,061 respondents. Interventions were grouped into three types, namely: health education, self-testing, and reminders of the screening schedule. Among the three types of interventions most recommended is counseling with video media, because providing information with exciting media will increase knowledge which will increase women's interest in screening. Independent screening interventions can also increase the coverage of cervical cancer screening in women with low socio-economic conditions because this method allows more savings in funding

Effects of Credit Appraisal Methods on Non-Performing Loans in Government Owned Financial Institutions, A Case of Kenya Commercial Bank Limited
Authors: Githama John Njenga , Gachanja Paul
Published: September 2020

Financial institutions have in the recent past become a major player in the Kenyan economy. Consequently, for the institutions to sustain viable credit programmes, the criteria for assessing credit risk are essential so as to minimize the loan default. There are various known methods and tools which can be employed by credit offices to ensure that they lend quality loan. These methods try to establish the creditworthiness of the potential borrower. Quality loans means good returns to the business since there is less provisions for bad debt in the books of the lending institution. One of the criteria for establishing the creditworthiness of a borrower is the C’s of credit model. These are initials for;-character, capacity , capital, collateral , common sense, contribution and conditions The C’s of credit refers to the borrower’s specific attributes which, if well used can help the lender arrive at a better decision of whether to lend or not to lend, the amount to lend and possibly the period to allow.  Lending institutions, however, have continued to record non-performing loans, despite there being elaborate known methods to aid in credit appraisal. The objectives of this study were to establish the factors that have contributed to non performing loans in financial institutions, whether the appraising persons are well versed on C’s of credit and challenges affecting appraising persons during the appraising process. To arrive at reliable findings, the researcher engaged respondents from selected financial institutions who were supplied with questionnaires in order to collect the sought data. The researcher employed descriptive research design which entails distributing questionnaires to respondents. The respondents were sampled from twenty financial institutions where respondents were chosen randomly. The target population in this case was credit officers irrespective of their cadres. For ease of collection of data, the study was located in Nairobi County where most financial institutions are based. The data so collected was coded to facilitate analysis. The researcher employed both descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the data. The researcher further employed the credit scoring model which uses data on observed borrower characteristics, either to calculate the probability of default or to sort out borrowers into different default risk classes.

Published: September 2020

Background: Compliance with handwashing in busy healthcare facilities, such as intensive care units (ICUs), is suboptimal and alcohol hand-rub preparations have been
suggested to improve compliance. There is no evidence on the comparative effectiveness between handwash and hand-rub strategies. This systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of handwash versus hand-rub strategies for preventing nosocomial infection in ICUs.
Methods Studies conducted in ICUs and indexed in PubMed comparing the clinical effectiveness and adverse events between handwash and hand-rub groups were
included in a systematic review. The primary outcome was nosocomial infection rates. Secondary outcomes included microbial counts on healthcare providers’ hands,
mortality rates, patient/hospital cost of treatment of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs), length of ICU/hospital stays, and adverse events. Studies were independently
screened and data extracted by at least two authors. Meta-analyses of risk ratios (RR), incidence rate ratios (IRR), odds ratios (OR) and mean differences (MD), were
conducted using the RevMan 5.3 software.
Results: Seven studies published between 1992-2009 and involving a total of 11,663 patients were included. Five studies (10,981 patients) contributed data to the ICU acquired nosocomial infection rates. The pooled IRR was 0.71 (95% CI 0.61, 0.82; I2
= 94%). On sensitivity analysis, pooled IRR was 0.39 (95% CI 0.32, 0.48; 4 studies;
8,247 patients; I2 = 0%) in favour of hand rub. The pooled OR for mortality was 0.95 (95% CI 0.78, 1.61; 4 studies; 3,475 patients; I2 = 39%). The pooled MD for length
of hospital stay was -0.74 (95% CI -2.83, 1.34; 3 studies; 741 patients; I2
= 0%). The pooled OR for an undesirable skin effect was 0.37 (95% CI 0.23, 0.60; 3 studies;1504 patients; I2 = 0%) in favour of hand rub. Overall quality of evidence was low.
Conclusion: Hand rub appeared more effective when compared to handwash in ICUs.

Patlıcangiller familyasının bir üyesi olan biberlerde doğal ortamda türler arası melezleme rastlanılan bir durum olmamakla birlikte, türler arası melezlerin üstün özelliklerinden faydalanabilmek amacıyla ıslahçılar tarafından türler arası melezleme çalışmaları yapılmaktadır. Özellikle kök çürüklüğü hastalığı başta olmak üzere, verim artışı sağlamak, abiyotik ve biyotik stres faktörlerine dayanımı arttırmak, anaç olarak kullanılabilecek çeşitler geliştirmek ve çeşitlerin sağlık açısından kalitesini arttırmak için türler arası melezlemelerden elde edilecek bilgi ve veriler çok önemlidir. Ülkemizde biberde türler arası melezleme konusunda çalışmalar ise yok denecek kadar azdır. Bu sebeple bu derleme ile biberde türler arası melezleme konusunda yapılan çalışmalar ışığında konunun önemine dikkat çekilmesi hedeflenmiştir.

Objectives: To determine the effect of Age, Gender and its correlation on pulmonary functions of Forced Vital Capacity and Slow Vital Capacity in Group I (18-24 years) and Group II (25-30 years) with respect to Body Mass Index.  Methodology: Sixty healthy adults between 18-30 years were included in the study. Participants were subdivided into Group I (18 to 24 years) and Group II (25 to 30 years) each group having 15 males and 15 females. The parameters considered were expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, inspiratory capacity, forced vital capacity and slow vital capacity. Spirometer RMS HELIOS 401 was used. Procedures were explained to each participant; best values from 3 maneuvers were documented and were subjected to analysis.  Results: It is noticed a significant difference in various parameters of pulmonary function. As age increases there was an increase in body mass index and the lung volume also increased. Overall males had higher pulmonary function compared to females, males in Group II (25-30 years) was better compared to males in Group I (18-24 years). With an increase in body mass index, pulmonary function was increased in males compared to females. Age, gender, age, and gender interaction effect with respect to Body Mass Index was seen.  Conclusion: Values obtained can be used as reference standard for estimation of lung volume for age group 18-30 years. In future, Spirometry can be used as a clinical assessment and management tool in the field of speech language pathology, by modifying respiratory patterns to control lung volumes, phonations and the flow of speech.

Day by day the air pollution becomes serious concern in India as well as in overall world. Proper or accurate prediction or forecast of Air Quality or the concentration level of other Ambient air pollutants such as Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Particulate Matter having diameter less than 10µ, Particulate Matter having diameter less than 2.5µ, Ozone, etc. is very important because impact of these factors on human health becomes severe. This literature review focuses on the various techniques used for prediction or modelling of Air Quality Index (AQI) and forecasting of future concentration levels of pollutants that may cause the air pollution so that governing bodies can take the actions to reduce the pollution.
Utilization of White Glutinous Rice Fermentation as A Coagulant of Natural Rubber Latex
Authors: Lukmana Mila
Published: September 2020

Clumping is one of the important stages in the processing of latex. This stage is the first step to produce a coagulum. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of white sticky water tape as a latex coagulant and determine the effect of white sticky water tape on the speed of clumping, color, pH, texture, levels of latex dry rubber. Tests were carried out in 4 treatments, namely R0: 1 ml of 10% formic acid solution added to 100 ml of latex; R1: 1 ml of water tape is added in 100 ml of latex; R2: 5 ml of water tape is added in 100 ml of latex; R3: Water tape as much as 10 ml was added to 100 ml of latex Then the latex parameters were observed including clumping speed, pH, texture, color and levels of dry rubber (KKK). The results of this study indicate that the administration of white sticky tape water does not reduce the pH of the latex to the isoelectric point 4.7. Nevertheless latex clumping still occurs. This is thought to be due to the alcohol content in the white sticky water tape. Based on observations, the R2 treatment is the best treatment that produces a slippery and hard coagulant texture similar to the R0 (formic acid) treatment. Whereas the latex texture in R1 and R3 treatments is softer. The addition of white sticky tape water coagulant produces latex color to milky white while formic acid produces white-yellowish color. The R2 treatment had an average KKK 41.63% lower than using formic acid, which was R0 45.96%. Although the white sticky tape water coagulant has not been able to meet the KKK quality standards of 20%.
