Professional networking in the field of social sciences
Authors: Paksi Veronika , Tardos Katalin
Published: August 2024

Professional networking is of paramount importance for academic researchers in terms of their professional development and career advancement. In the national and international literature, research on network building typically takes a quantitative approach, while research using qualitative methods on network building is less common among researchers. Furthermore, gender differences in the field of networking tend to be more typically studied in male-dominated STEM fields (science, technology, mathematics and engineering). In our research, we conducted twenty-five semi-structured interviews with researchers who obtained a doctoral degree in the social sciences in Hungary, asking them about the importance of network building in their profession and career development, whether they have been trained for networking, and how consciously they build their professional networks. Moreover, we asked our respondents to subjectively evaluate the quality of their own networking skills. The results show that researchers are clearly aware of the crucial role of networking in their research careers; they also encounter the positive aspects of networking as well as its downsides; and although they have not been formally taught the importance and methods of networking, the older generation in senior positions may already be keen to share their experiences with younger researchers. The modes and self-assessment of networking varied by gender, with women’s disadvantage in the social sciences also confirmed. Another novel finding of the research is that social scientists perceive countryside residence as a disadvantage for networking in Hungary.
Internationalisation – dispelling the myth of African inferiority
Authors: Mthiyane Ncamisile P. , Jarvis Janet
Published: August 2024

Decoloniality is a framework addressing global power imbalances, particularly between the global north and south, rooted in the process of othering. This article suggests that internationalisation can promote decolonisation, particularly in South Africa, by challenging the notion of inferiority in the global south. Crossing disciplinary and geographical boundaries plays a crucial role in evolving classroom practice into reflective and reflexive classroom praxis. The use of empathetic-reflective-dialogical restorying as a teaching strategy aligns with a decolonial agenda. This approach allows pre-service teachers from diverse geographical contexts, like South Africa and Norway, to engage in empathetic and reflective dialogue within a safe space, potentially reshaping their prior conceptions of best teaching practices. This transformative process holds promise for the classroom environment.

Market Orientation for a Contextualized Professionalization of Higher Education in Africa: State of Art
Authors: KAMDJO Carole Vanessa , Ngamaleu Henri Rodrigue Njengoue
Published: August 2024

Market Orientation is a managerial philosophy governing the behavior of all actors in an organization to create greater value for the benefit of all stakeholders. Considered in the field of education, this managerial culture presupposes questioning and involvement of the various stakeholders (students, companies, university competitors, etc.) allowing consideration of educational actions for the benefit of all these actors. The professionalization of teaching has been one of the major challenges of African educational systems for several decades. To meet this need, African governments have imported several education systems, the latest of which is the Bachelor-Master-Doctorate (BMD) system. We aim in our paper to posit that Africa was not ready for a world uniformization of diploma as BMD subsystem implemented. In this review of the literature, we compare publications to present the concept of Market Orientation, its conception in higher education and how it can be used to achieve goals of contextualized professionalization, using the Thirty Glorious Years and that of China’s period of industrialization to support understanding. This review finds that implementation of a market-oriented culture can allow higher education to offer a response adapted to the expectations of society through five points summarized as 1) Orientation toward Policy-Makers; 2) Enterprises Orientation; 3) Competition Orientation; 4) Teachers and Students orientation; 5) Inter-functional coordination.
The Transformative Development Potential of Higher Education in the 4th Industrial Revolution: A strategic innovation ecosystem approach for technological development and knowledge transfer in the 21st century Cameroon
Authors: Bafon Joel shom , Tanyi Adolphe M. , Kamdjo Carole V. , Djeumeni Marcelline T.
Published: August 2024

This study examined the transformative development potential of higher education through an innovation ecosystem model for knowledge and technological transfer. The sustainability of socio-economic development requires a robust national and regional innovation ecosystem in which higher education plays an important role. The challenge with the Cameroon higher is a transition from the tradition rigid system to a more dynamic knowledge society and value creation ecosystem. Theoretically, we adopted   the innovation ecosystem approach. For the research methodology we use a correlational research design. We selected 9 advanced schools of technology, engineering and management from public and private sector across four regions of Cameroon with sample of 370 respondents. We used spearman correlational ranking to test our threes hypotheses.  Our three hypotheses were significantly confirmed at PV=0.000 or 95% with the significant predictive coefficient of 59.7%, 55.8% and 71.3% respectively. From these findings, we concluded that the transformative potential of higher education in the four industrial revolution is evident through technological knowledge networks, innovation/knowledge clusters and transformative digital governance. We recommend that public policy development and institutional strategic leaders should consider these indicators as benchmarks for higher education quality assurance and responsiveness tools. These will ensure the emerges of the clustered innovation ecosystem and competitive intelligence approaches, strategic capabilities that contribute to sustainable socio-economic development of Cameroon and Africa.

Highway Landslide Hazards in Indiana—Construction and Analysis of a Landslide Inventory
Authors: Leffel Victoria
Published: August 2024

Landslides are geologic hazards that occur throughout Indiana. Landslides are most prevalent in the southern half of the state, with two main landslide clusters in southeast and south-central Indiana. This paper discusses the construction of a landslide hazard geographic information system (GIS) data layer compiled from Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) sources. Landslide areas were identified using a digital elevation model (DEM) derived from light-compliant detection and ranging (LiDAR), a ground surface slope-angle map, and orthoimagery. These tools were used to map repaired and unrepaired landslide areas along highway infrastructure.
The study explores the relationship between landslide areas and various geological (bedrock, karst, and seismicity), climatic (rainfall), and anthropogenic (coal mining and land cover) factors. It finds that bedrock geology and the lack of a glacial cover are closely related to the occurrence of landslides. Areas with high landslide incidence closely relate to predominating shale bedrock formations and variable topography. Inclinometer data revealed that many landslides occur within the weathered bedrock zone where factors such as soil moisture and groundwater fluctuations play a role in landslide movement. The development of this study’s landslide inventory is anticipated to aid landslide susceptibility maps, risk assessments, andemergency management within the state.

FINLAND’S MARATHON IN NATO: CONSTRUCTION OF NEW MENTAL LANDSCAPE
Authors: Yanglyaeva Marina ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: August 2024

The article deals with the preparation measures delivered by Finnish government and NATO institutions specially designed for strategic propaganda to influence public opinion towards the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. The author draws attention to the activities of the Finnish media to promote the anti-Russian narratives of the Alliance in the public sphere in Finland. The methods of political media geography and political mediametry were applied to obtain selective empirical material. The author analyses the processes of transformation of «Euro-neutral» and the creation of the required mental landscape. The research explores the dynamics of two main mediametric indicators – the number of publications and aggressiveness indexes for Finland and Sweden – and compares the obtained data with Internet statistics extracted from the Google system from 2010 to 2023, which is based on the Finnish Internet search «NATO-theme» and «Finland in NATO». Despite a large number of Finnish citizens, including politicians who is opposed to NATO membership, the Finnish media has changed public’s mode of thinking over the past decades. The image of NATO is strengthening in the mental landscape of Finland, which over time can become a stable morphosculpture. The author concludes that the transformation of Finnish citizens’ thought-patterns is used to instil separatist sentiments in the northwestern borders and discredit the government of Russia.

THE INFLUENCE OF CONSERVATIVE THINK-TANKS IN ITALY ON THE INTEGRATION OF RIGHT-WING FORCES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Authors: Davletshina Natalya ,   Russian State University for the Humanities, Zhegalova Ulyana ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: August 2024

This article examines the influence of conservative think tanks on the integration of rightwing forces in Italy and the countries of the European Union, and how such centres participate in the ideological development of Europe. It also analyses the trend towards the «Europeanisation» of the activities of national centres and foundations due to the increasing centralisation of power in Brussels and the influence of supranational institutions. On the basis of each European party there is an think-tank which collaborates with ideologically close national organisations. Recently, Italy has shown a growing influence of right-wing and right-populist forces. In 2022 the leader of the extreme-right party «Brothers of Ital» Giorgia Meloni was elected as Prime Minister, and the majority of seats in the Italian Parliament are also held by politicians from right-wing parties. The «Brothers of Italy» have several think-tank centres, which are engaged in cooperation with representatives of conservative forces from different countries of the European Union, development of ideology and education of young politicians to form the future governing class. The article uses concrete examples to examine how the creation of a conservative political network in the EU is organised and what place Italy takes in it
Characterization of Batik Waste Containing Synthetic Textile Dyes and The Artisan Awareness Regarding The Hazardous Batik Waste
Authors: Hidayati Yunin , Siswanto Dian , Rumhayati Barlah , Retnaningdyah Catur
Published: August 2024

Synthetic textile dyes in the Tanjung Bumi batik coloring process in Madura, Indonesia, have been used extensively for decades, raising environmental concerns due to hazardous wastewater. This research aims to evaluate the quality characteristics of synthetic textile dye wastewater, assess batik artisans' awareness of batik waste hazards, and analyze the interaction between these factors. Wastewater samples were collected from four locations with two repetitions each. Thirty-seven batik artisans participated in a survey. The wastewater analysis included measurements of BOD5, COD, pH, TSS, phenol, Cr, NH3-N, sulfide, and oil and grease. The survey assessed the artisans' use of synthetic dyes and their awareness of environmental hazards. The results showed that the toxic substance levels in Tanjung Bumi batik waste exceed the quality standard thresholds for textile waste. Survey findings indicate that 100% of respondents use synthetic textile dyes, 83.78% dispose of waste without processing, and 91.89% are unaware of the hazards posed by synthetic textile dyes. There is a direct correlation between the artisans' low awareness of the negative impacts of waste and their lack of environmental preservation practices. The novelty of this research lies in its dual evaluation of chemical wastewater characteristics and socio-environmental awareness among artisans. This approach highlights the urgent need for educational interventions and improved waste management practices. The implications are significant for developing sustainable batik production methods and enhancing environmental awareness, contributing to broader societal benefits.

This paper reports the first study of phyco-remediation of cyantraniliprole, a second-generation diamide insecticide with high toxicity and persistence in aquatic environments, using the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Cultures of C. reinhardtii were treated with four concentrations of cyantraniliprole (0, 25, 50, and 100 ppm). The removal efficiency, antioxidant responses, and biomass composition of the microalga were measured after 1 h and one week of exposures. C. reinhardtii was able to remove cyantraniliprole from the medium by biodegradation, biotransformation, bioaccumulation, and bio-adsorption mechanisms, achieving up to 87.0% removal within 1 h and 84.5% after one week. The microalga also maintained acceptable levels of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, indicating its tolerance to cyantraniliprole stress. Moreover, some treated cultures (especially those with 25 and 50 ppm cyantraniliprole) showed enhanced specific growth rate, and biomass productivity compared to control cultures. In addition, those with 50 and 100 ppm cyantraniliprole showed enhanced carbohydrate and lipid concentrations compared to the control cultures. These results suggest that C. reinhardtii is a promising candidate for bioremediation of cyantraniliprole-contaminated water and biofuel production.
The Russian Orthodox Church and the assimilation of labour migrants: theory and practice of church-state partnership
Authors: Ryazanova Svetlana , Mitrofanova Anastasia
Published: August 2024

The article is dedicated to theoretical and practical aspects of how the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) implements is social projects working with foreign labor migrants on the territory of the Russian Federation. The role of the Church is evaluated simultaneously through analyzing the practice of implementing projects for sociocultural adaptation of migrants, which take place under the aegis and with the participation of ecclesiastical institutions. The main research problem of the article is to fund out whether church bodies are ready to work with labor migrants and to evaluate their effectiveness. The study relies on analyzing church-state agreements and ecclesiastical documents on migration and related issues. This made possible defining the legal boundaries for the activities of Orthodox religious associations working in the field of sociocultural adaptation of foreign labor migrants. Critical documentary analysis contributed into characterizing the official position of the Church and the positions of Orthodox activists and representatives of intelligentsia. To identify conflicting opinions the research implied analysis of two opposite positions on the issue of migration: nationalists, who intend to make Orthodoxy the property of the Russian ethnic nation, and supporters of unlimited proselytism. Our vision of grassroots social work with migrants resulted from a qualitative analysis of network data related to social projects of the Orthodox community, as well as from participant observation done by one of the authors who took part in one of such projects. The study concludes that the activities of the Russian Orthodox Church in the sphere of sociocultural adaptation of foreign labor migrants should be evaluated as insufficiently effective to become stimulating both for strengthening the Orthodox community and for increasing its social capital.
“Those who repulse the Spirit from themselves do not, of course, have this power”: some considerations on the issue of confession in the early and middle Byzantine periods
Authors: Kanaeva Elga
Published: August 2024

In this article the existence of a special attitude towards confession in the early and middle Byzantine period is argued. It’s framework presumed that the requirements to the person hearing someone’s confession consisted not in his hierarchical degree, but in his spiritual authority. Following evidences are analyzed: that of St. Isidore of Pelusium (5th century) stating that an unworthy priest can perform the Eucharist and Baptism, but cannot hear confession and give absolution is being analyzed; that of St. Anastasius of Sinai (VII-VIII century) about confessing to a “spiritual men” or directly to God; that of Pseudo-Anastasius (IX century), who showed a significant evolution of the idea, but not a break with the tradition of the latter; that of St. Simeon the New Theologian (X-XI century); that of Peter Chartophylax (XII-XIII century), who incorporated the text of Anastasius into his questions and answers; that of his entourage (patr. Nicholas Grammaticus, Nikephoros Chartophylax), which also attests the existence of such a practice during the Komnenoi. The article examines the scope of the concept of “spiritual men” in relation to confession and shows that in most cases it meant spiritually experienced monks, who rather not belong to clergy. At the same time, the observation is made that this logic was not in itself anticlerical, and its bearers respected the clergy or were even its representatives. The traces of a conflict between the clergy and monasticism based on confession issues are not detected. Additionally, the historical evidence testifies to the validity of the speculation of pre-revolutionary researchers of this issue N.S. Suvorov and S.I. Smirnov, rather than the position of their opponents A.S. Pavlov and N.A. Zaozersky.

Published: August 2024

Військова агресія РФ проти України спричинила масштабні виклики як у коротко-, так і в довгостроковій перспективі, оскільки наслідками війни є руйнування демографічної і трудоресурсної основи соціально-економічного розвитку, загострення ризиків дефіциту робочої сили для потреб повоєнного відновлення. Попри позитивні зміни у 2023 р., стан ринку праці ще тривалий час залишатиметься розбалансованим, адже на фоні зростання зайнятості територіальні й освітньо-кваліфікаційні диспропорції поглиблюються, що утримує безробіття на високому рівні, загострює складнощі з пошуком кваліфікованих працівників. Актуальним завданням є визначення можливостей подолання чи мінімізації впливу цих деструктивних процесів.
З використанням методів кабінетного аналізу обґрунтовано наукові засади формування стійкості (резильєнтності) соціально-трудової сфери і визначено пріоритетні напрями їх запровадження в практику державного управління. В умовах браку офіційних статистичних даних про параметри робочої сили і ринок праці застосовано непрямі методи оцінювання на основі доступних адміністративних даних, матеріалів міжнародних організацій, результатів соціологічних опитувань тощо.
Резильєнтність інтерпретовано як здатність соціально-трудової сфери запобігати, протидіяти або вистояти з меншими втратами у випадках, коли загрози й кризи є тривалими і повною мірою неподоланними; на індивідуальному рівні – як здатність робочої сили швидко адаптуватися до динамічних змін на ринку праці, набуваючи нових позитивних якостей. Запропоновано феномен резильєнтності розглядати на засадах міждисциплінарного підходу за допомогою трьох конструкцій: факторів ризику (стресорів), захисних факторів і факторів уразливості, взаємодія яких визначає траєкторію розвитку соціально-економічної системи.
Зроблено висновок, що резильєнтність потрібно осмислювати не просто як здатність, а як стратегію дій щодо набуття і розвитку необхідних властивостей на індивідуальному та інституційному рівнях; окреслено пріоритетні напрями забезпечення резильєнтності соціально-трудової сфери в контексті потреб повоєнної розбудови економіки України.

En los centros de radioterapia, donde se tienen más de dos aceleradores lineales (Linacs) del mismo fabricante y modelo, es importante considerar un emparejamiento dosimétrico. Por esta razón, se presentó la iniciativa de comparar los factores dosimétricos de dos modelos de LinacsSynergy (ELEKTA) con fotones de 6 MeV de energía. Se consideraron los factores de dispersión total, la variación de la dosis en el eje central, el perfil de dosis, los factores de transmisión en cuña y la tasa de dosis. Las mediciones absolutas y relativas se realizaron con 5 cámaras de ionización y las distribuciones de dosis planas se obtuvieron con una disposición de 729 cámaras de ionización, el índice de γ fue evaluado por el software Mephysto.
Los resultados obtenidos fueron valores de diferencia de dosis inferiores al 1 %, distribuciones de dosis reproducidas con un valor superior al 95% de los vóxeles analizados para Distance to agreement (DTA) de 2 mm y Δ DOSE de 2 %, tanto para PDP como para perfiles evaluados. Estos resultados fueron validados con datos obtenidos con simulación Monte Carlo (XVMC). Se concluyó que con la metodología desarrollada fue posible obtener un emparejamiento adecuado de haces generados por dos Linacs diferentes.
DETERMINACIÓN DE LAS INCERTIDUMBRES DE LAS FUNCIONES ÓPTICAS EN LOS PUNTOS DE INTERACCIÓN DEL LHC
Authors: Villadiego Forero Federico , Cardona Javier F.
Published: August 2024

En los puntos de interacción de un colisionador, los haces de partículas son fuertemente comprimidos para alcanzar el tamaño más pequeño posible y así maximizar el número de colisiones requeridas por los grandes experimentos como ATLAS o CMS. El tamaño de los haces alrededor de los puntos de interacción está fundamentalmente determinado por dos parametros: βw, que es el mínimo valor que las funciones ópticas del acelerador toman en la región de interacción y w, que mide qué tan alejado está ese mínimo del punto de interacción. Estos dos parámetros son de crucial importancia para determinar posteriormente las funciones ópticas en el punto de interacción y en otros lugares estratégicos del acelerador. En este trabajo, se presenta un análisis de incertidumbres del método actualmente empleado para determinar βw y w. Dicho análisis está basado en simulaciones y es inicialmente hecho asumiendo valores de incertidumbre nominales en el tono o frecuencia de las oscilaciones del haz, que es la cantidad que realmente se mide para inferir posteriormente βw y w. Las incertidumbres de βw y w obtenidas de esta forma son comparadas con las incertidumbres medidas, encontrando diferencias  significativas. De los datos experimentales, se trata  entonces de inferir cuál es el valor real de las  incertidumbres asociadas al tono del haz y, una vez  determinada esta incertidumbre, se repiten las  simulaciones para estimar las correspondientes  incertidumbres asociadas a βw y w. Sabiendo la fuerte influencia que las incertidumbres de βw y w tienen en la determinación de las funciones ópticas, se deduce un método alternativo para obtener dichas funciones sin necesidad de conocer βw y w.

Published: August 2024

Emulation and experimental validation of electrical systems are key to understanding their dynamics and developing different control techniques for them. This article addresses the construction of an experimental prototype using Opal RT platforms and LD Didactic's electric machine control system, connecting them through optical fiber and using PWM modulation to emulate a wind generation prototype in a microgrid and control power flow to achieve complete isolation in the devices. This allows for the development of a dynamic platform to emulate different conditions of a wind generation system and additionally analyze the behavior of different three-phase rotating machines under different mechanical conditions (torque and speed) and find their benefits for different operating points.
Induced Voltage in Cable Shielding by Harmonics and Deficiencies in Installation Procedures

Published: August 2024

Insulated cables are widely used for the transportation, distribution, and end-use installations of electrical power. They are also essential for the grid interconnection of new generation systems based on renewable sources. These types of conductors mitigate electrical risks and increase the reliability of the networks. However, induced voltages in the cable shield are a determining factor in their performance, as a very high value can lead to insulation deterioration, breakdowns, risks to individuals, and malfunctioning of electrical installations. This article presents the behavior of induced voltage and current on the cable shield based on installation conditions and the effect of harmonics in the system. Simulation results show that induced voltage in the cable shield increases due to factors such as the presence of harmonics in the system and cable length. To control these induced voltages, the cable installation procedure must be improved, incorporating good practices for transposition and grounding. Thus, for example, it was found that in the presence of harmonics and supraharmonics the voltage induced in the cable shield increases up to nine (9) times compared to the base case of not having harmonics in the system, but if there is an adequate transposition and grounding, that voltage induced in the cable shield only increases three (3) times with respect to the base case.
Proposal for integrating active demand in the distribution system: variables, scenarios, and case study.
Authors: Obando Edgar Dario , Carvajal Sandra Ximena , Pineda Agudelo Jairo
Published: August 2024

This article proposes the integration of active demand into the distribution system with metaheuristic techniques. The methodology of system dynamics is employed, which allows for the identification of relevant variables for demand participation. The systemic approach used helps characterize both endogenous and exogenous variables, which is crucial for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the active demand integration process. Additionally, the transition time in the system's evolution is considered. The paper proposes a phased development, defining diverse scenarios and integrating them with data science to create tailored roadmaps for different distribution systems and specific conditions. A classic case study is presented, evaluating the impact of this transition, and determining the necessary regulatory policy to achieve effective integration of active demand.
Sostenibilidad energética y social en Colombia: un estudio de caso en zonas no interconectadas.
Authors: Rodríguez Leidy
Published: August 2024

El proceso de apropiación social del conocimiento a partir de la investigación social desarrollada desde el proyecto P10 Laboratorio de Co-creación en el marco del Programa Energética 2030 financiado por Minciencias en Colombia, permitió desde el año 2020 al 2023, el análisis concreto de realidades sociales, económicas y ambientales que con miras al cumplimiento de los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible, implica retos importantes para el Estado, las organizaciones y las comunidades en temas de sostenibilidad social, ambiental y económica hacia la articulación de lecturas de necesidad y el reconocimiento de zonas no interconectadas como territorios modelo en el marco de la organización social en materia ambiental y proyección social hacia la configuración de un escenario sostenible que busca aprovechar sus recursos y vivenciar la transición energética como una oportunidad para acceder al derecho y goce de su territorio y de los recursos naturales como la energía a favor de su calidad de vida especialmente en temas de eficiencia energética. De acuerdo con ello el proyecto, permitió comprender las percepciones sobre sosteniblidad social y energética desde diversos actores sociales, desarrollar procesos educativos y de percepciones sobre el futuro ambiental, así como la creación de un laboratorio de co-creación que recoge experiencias comunitarias diversas posibilidades para generar procesos de gobernanza energética en los territorios como un llamado también a la potencialidad Estatal y con ello el goce efectivo de los derechos sociales y el acceso a los recursos de forma justa, siendo importante con ello la presencia institucional y la minimización de zonas no interconectadas del país que busca a partir del actual plan de desarrollo convertirse en una potencia mundial de la vida y con ello la generación de oportunidades para todas y todos. De ahí que las perspectivas de derechos, de género y territoriales fueran fundamentales en la implementación del proyecto y en el reconocimiento de la diversidad cultural y étnica de las comunidades.
Europejskie Dni Archeologii w Regionalnej Składnicy Zabytków Archeologicznych w Zgłobniu
Authors: Ligoda Joanna ,   Muzeum Okręgowe w Rzeszowie
Published: August 2024

In 2023, the District Museum in Rzeszów joined the organization of the European Days of Archaeology for the first time. The idea is to promote archaeology and generate interest in the past through lectures, festivals, readings, and seminars. The Rzeszów museum prepared a lecture on the history of the manor-granary in the Regional Storehouse of Archaeological Materials in Zgłobień. They also presented the history of the Rzeszów Archaeological Centre and the history of research in the southeastern Poland. For younger guests, there was a demonstration of prehistoric pottery-making and an educational, large-format board game on the knightly theme. All these activities were well-received by the visitors.

DESIGN OF A SINGLE EXPANSION RAMP NOZZLE AND NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF OPERATION AT OVEREXPANDED CONDITIONS
Authors: Magalhães Jorge , Brójo Francisco
Published: August 2024

Demand for hypersonic aircraft has been increasing in recent years, highlighting the importance of research and development in this aerospace sector. A single expansion ramp Nozzle (SERN) was designed and investigated. An algorithm based on the method of characteristics (MOC) was developed, which generated the optimized contour of a 2D supersonic calorically perfect minimum-length nozzle,
for ideal shock-free flow expansion, and calculated various flow-field properties. An optimized SERN geometry was designed using the algorithm, and truncated for viable integration into a vehicle, without
significant loss in thrust. Numerical simulations at design and off-design conditions were conducted,
evaluating nozzle performance and flow-field phenomena. Overexpanded flow and complex shock-wave patterns were observed, such as the restricted shock separation (RSS) pattern, including separation and reattachment of the main jet to the ramp and formation of a separation bubble, a large recirculation region on the flap, Mach disks, λ-shock structures, and shock trains.
Loss to Follow-up among Children and Adolescents Attending ART Clinics in the Context of Socio-Political Crises in the Northwest and Southwest Regions of Cameroon (2018-2021): The Caregiver’s Perspectives
Authors: CW Ayima , E Mboh Khan , PM Tih
Published: August 2024

Background: Loss to Follow-Up (LTFU) among HIV positive children and adolescents greatly contributes to sub-optimal retention in HIV prevention and treatment program outcomes. This can be worse among conflict affected areas of the country. LTFU threatens efforts to ensure longevity and survival of children and adolescents living with HIV. In the context of the ongoing socio-political crises and instability in the Northwest and Southwest Regions of Cameroon, we investigated reasons for LTFU among children and adolescents enrolled on ART. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study, nested within a larger cohort study (2018-2022) on assessing the incidence of LTFU among children and adolescents in two regions of Cameroon. The data collection was done from November 2021 to January 2022.We traced and interviewed 25caregivers of children and adolescent’s LTFU. Recorded interviews were transcribed, translated and then analyzed using Atlas-ti Version 9. Results: The following reasons were reported as the main contributing factors of LTFU: Socio-political crises/displacement, long distances/cost of transportation, lack of partner/family support, refusal/dating/marriage among adolescents, poverty/competitive life activities, stigma, shortage of ARVs/poor efficacy, alternative forms of health care and negative attitudes of healthcare providers. Conclusion: Our study found multiple factors at personal, family, community and health system levels, which contribute to poor retention of children and adolescents in HIV care with the leading reason postulated being displacements and constant roadblocks due to the current sociopolitical crises. The impact of the socio-political crisis on HIV services therefore cannot be neglected.
