Authors: Ochola Frankline , Lucas Stephen , Nyamita Micah
Published: December 2022

Purpose: Risk avoidance are critical techniques in the elimination of threats, undertaking and submissions that can negatively influence an institution or government gains and investment decision worldwide. By halting the activity that can lead to likely problems, the chance of incurring and loss is eliminated. However, devolved system of government studies on risk avoidance are scanty in Kenya. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of risk avoidance and how it influences performance of devolved governments in Kenya.

Methodology: The study was anchored on the agency and stakeholder theory. A correlational research design was used based on the nature of data collected. The study was analytical and hence it took a pragmatic philosophical reasoning. The study targeted 423 respondents in the 47 devolved governments departments in Kenya. A sample size of 381 respondents from the devolved governments departments was drawn from the targeted population using stratified sampling technique. The study used primary data from the use of questionnaires. Data was analyzed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences version 24 utilizing inferential statistics which involved testing of the hypothesis at 95% confidence level and also descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation). Data was presented by use of tables.

Findings: The outcomes indicated that risk avoidance indicator had a standardized Beta coefficient of 0.341, an absolute t-value of 5.609 and p˂0.05 (0.03) which indicated that risk avoidance had a statistically considerable effect on performance of devolved governments in Kenya.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study suggests that devolved governments and key stakeholders should upgrade, embrace and ensure that risk avoidance techniques are in place in the devolved governments so as to improve on performance of devolved government.

This study aims to identify the learning needs of students in the subject of Islamic Religious Education and Budi Pekerti in the class VI . This research uses a literature approach and case studies. These approaches aim to explore theory, adapt to field conditions as evidenced by experiments. The results of this study explain that the need is a situation where there is a gap between facts and expectations, which is indicated by the existing difference. The various needs in learning are not interpreted broadly as Maslow's theory but are still within the scope of learning. The kinds of needs, namely; normative, comparative, felt neds, expressions (expressed neds), anticipation, and unexpected critical circumstances. In addition, related to the identification of learning needs, means collaborating between problem identification and problem analysis, identification aims to collect data on the existence of gaps in learning, then analysis aims to find out the causes of these gaps. This can be done in seven steps, namely; identify problems, validate problems, formulate needs, formulate goals (competencies), adjust old goals to new goals, validate goals that have been adjusted, and finally prioritize goals.

ABSTRACT

Uvod: Karcinom glave i vrata čini 3-5 % svih malignih oboljenja, koji je većinom zastupljen kod muškaraca. Napretkom radioterapije omogućen je optimalniji pristup u liječenju karcinoma glave i vrata, sa poboljšanim ishodom liječenja. Primjena savremenih imidžing tehnika u verifikaciji preciznosti tretmana znatno je promijenila tok radioterapije u liječenju malignih bolesti u smislu eskalacije doze na ciljni volumen uz veću poštedu zdravih struktura. Svrha rada je dokazati značaj i ulogu slikovne verifikacije CBCT imidžing metodom u preciznosti liječenja i kontroli tumora tokom tretmana.

Materijal i metode: Istraživanje je provedeno prospektivno u trajanju od 6 mjeseci, na Klinici za onkologiju, Kliničkog centra Univerziteta u Sarajevu. U studiju je uključeno 30 pacijenata sa karcinomom glave i vrata, kod kojih je primjenom slikovne verifikacije CBCT-om uočen gubitak tjelesne težine ili promjena ciljnog volumena. Pacijenti su zračeni VMAT tehnikom na linearnom akceleratoru TrueBeam.

Rezultati: Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da je većina pacijenata bila muškog spola (19), starije životne dobi, sa karcinom larinksa koji je bio prisutan u čak 11 ispitanika. Jači nusefekti bili su prisutni samo kod 3,33% pacijenata, a najzastupljenije neželjene reakcije bile su blaga promuklost, suhoća usta, zamor, otežano gutanje. Od ukupnog broja pacijenata, kod 16 pacijenata uočeno je smanjenje volumena targeta koji je inicijalno prosječno iznosio 80,16 cm3, dok je nakon prosječno 18 frakcija zračenja iznosio 77,58 cm3, što je sigifikanto statistički dokazano (p= 0,007). Utvrđeno je smanjenje volumena lijeve parotidne žlijezde nakon reskeniranja u odnosu na inicijalnu vrijednost (17.37±7.55/16.93±7.06 cm3). Kod svih pacijenata na CBCT volumetrijskim slikama uočen je gubitak tjelesne težine.

Zaključak: Radioterapija karcinoma glave i vrata jedan je od učinkovitih modaliteta liječenja, koji moće biti praćen određenim neželjenim reakcijama. Primjena IGRT-a na osnovu kompjuterizirane tomografije konusnog snopa (CBCT), uveliko doprinosi peciznoj isporuci propisane doze zračenja, uz smanjenu toksičnost tretmana. Volumetrijski prikaz anatomskih struktura CBCT metodom, omogućio je da se promijeni tok kursa radioterapije u smislu prilagođavanja PTV margina u toku tretmana, odnosno primjenu adaptivne radioterapije.

Gastric stem cell research and gastric organoids
Authors: Jeong Haengdueng , Nam Ki Taek
Published: December 2022

The stomach is a complex organ lined with ordered epithelium consisting of different adult stem cell (ASC) pools. In the previous decade, research into gastric epithelial stem cells has been performed using lineage tracing methods, and several putative ASC markers in the gastric gland have been identified, although their roles in homeostasis maintenance and the origin of cancer remain to be clarified. With advances in gastric stem cell research, 3-dimensional (3D) organoid culture has been developed on the basis of in-depth insights into the control of stem cell self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation. Since the initial report that single intestinal stem cells have the ability to generate long-lived 3D structures that exhibit budding forms and self-renewal, tissue-specific adaptations of this method have been established in various organs, such as the small intestine, colon, liver, and stomach. In the murine stomach, putative ASCs isolated from the corpus and antrum generate gastric organoids that can simulate organ-specific cells to some extent. In addition, a few trials have been conducted to generate long-lived 3D organoids using human-derived ASCs and pluripotent stem cells. We hope that this review will provide comprehensive knowledge on gastric stem cell research and gastric organoids.

Authors: Firmansyah Benny , Wahyuni Widya Sri
Published: December 2022

The BPS - Statistics Indonesia classifies villages into urban villages and rural villages to organize statistics. The classification of village areas into urban or rural status is intended to form a stratum used in survey sampling techniques. With this status, it is hoped that the sample taken can represent the entire population well. The BPS - Statistics Indonesia establishes criteria for classifying a village into an urban village. The 2020 urban village criteria use three indicators as its measure, namely: population density per km2, percentage of agricultural families, and the presence or access of urban facilities. In general, the data used in calculating the classification of urban and rural villages in 2020 uses data from the 2019 Village Potential (Podes) survey. This study utilizes data on urban facilities such as schools, markets, shops, and hospitals on the google maps website to calculate the score of indicators of the existence or access of urban facilities. This study used a web scraping method to obtain data on these urban facilities from the google maps website. This study selected eight villages in the Lubuk Sikaping District, Pasaman Regency, West Sumatra Province, as a case study. The results showed that four villages with great potential were classified into urban villages, and three villages with great potential were classified into rural villages.

Published: December 2022

This study examined the effects of corporate governance (CG) on performance of deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria between the periods 2012-2021 (10years). The specific objective of the study is to examine the relationship between the measures of CG [Board Size (BS), Board Independence (BI), Board Gender Diversity (BGD), Audit Committee Size (ACS) and Audit Committee Independence (ACS)] and [performance of DMBs proxy with Returns on Equity (ROE)]. The data for the study would be gotten from the annual reports and accounts of the 10 DMBs on the basis of the variables under study. The type of relationship between the independent and dependent variables will be determined using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, and the method of data analysis chosen was a multiple regression analysis using the OLS method by E-VIEW 9.0. DMBs that wish to enhance their FP, especially post covid-19, should try to reduce their BS to plus or minus ten, but with strict adherence to the regulatory guideline. This will ensure that the yearly huge expense on this is reduced and efficiency is guaranteed. This will have more positive influence on corporate performance.

Misinformation in India's 2019 National Election
Authors: Arabaghatta Basavaraj Kiran
Published: December 2022

This study investigates the dynamics and dissemination of political misinformation in India's 2019 national election campaign, drawing on cases identified by internationally verified fact-checkers. Many political parties and their affiliates or supporters deployed both positive (pro-party) and negative (anti-party) misinformation claims. The distribution of measures of engagement with misinformation claims on Facebook (N=4,478) show BJP, INC and CPIM were most often deploying positive or pro-party misinformation, whereas more parties were targeted with negative or anti-party misinformation. The incumbent BJP was the target of the largest number of negative misinformation claims that came from challenger parties and the INC in particular, confirming extant research from Western contexts that challengers go negative and attack incumbents while the latter tend to focus more on accomplishments. Negative or anti-party misinformation was deployed more than twice as often as pro-party misinformation and diffused farther than positive or pro-party claims.

The paper is based on the idea that speech and language development of preschool children represents a precondition for the overall child development as well as a significant determinant of successful schooling. The aim of the paper was to develop a questionnaire on the use of speech games to stimulate children’s speech and language development and to validate its metric properties. The questionnaire consisted of 39 statements divided into four subscales: Educators’ Competency to Use Speech Games in Kindergartens, Possibility for Using Speech Games in Kindergartens, Educators’ Professional Development and Kindergarten Equipment for the Use of Speech Games, and Speech Games Functioning as a Stimulator of Children’s Speech and Language Development. The sample comprised 100 educators employed in private and state preschool institutions in the area of Zenica-Doboj Canton and Sarajevo Canton.
The results of the research showed that the reliability of the measuring instrument has satisfactory parameters, since all corrected item-total correlations had values higher than 0.3. An exploratory analysis found that KMO indicates a high possibility of factorization of 0.85, and this was confirmed by Bartlett's test of sphericity, which showed that the correlation matrix is statistically significant. An exploratory factor analysis with included Promax rotation with Kappa 4 and given four factors gave interpretable results, with a total of 66.41% of variance explained by these four factors. All this was confirmed by a confirmatory analysis where the modification indicators had values above 0.9, which indicates a well-matched model.
It was concluded that the Questionnaire on the Use of Speech Games to Stimulate Children's Speech and Language Development meets scientific research standards for research use.

Published: December 2022

Social work services should be a basic indicator of the life quality of people in a certain society, but also an indicator of the level of social and economic rights fulfillment. However, the fulfillment of the aforementioned rights and the availability of social work services depend on the socio-economic development of a country and a series of changes affecting the prosperity of a society, which is causally related to the scope of services. Based on this, the aim of the paper is to point out the existing scope and availability of social work services in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also to look at the factors that may affect their scope and type. The paper focuses on the theoretical interpretation of the possibilities and limitations of the control of social work services with particular reference to the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Published: December 2022

The aim of this study was to examine metric characteristics of the structured questionnaire on religiosity for respondents of the Islamic faith, and to establish its structural validity and reliability. The study was conducted on a sample of 230 respondents (70 male and 160 female students). Factor analysis singled out three latent factors or dimensions of religiosity around which the given claims were grouped. The first isolated factor explained 19% of variance, and grouped the claims related to the acceptance of the fundamental postulates of the Islamic faith, with an emphasis on cognitive internalization of the beliefs and perceptions of Allah, in accordance with Islamic postulates. The second isolated factor explained 13% of variance, and grouped the claims related to religious orthopraxy - performing prayers. The third factor explained 10% of variance and grouped the claims related to interpersonal relationships with other people in accordance with Islamic postulates. Consequently, it was concluded that the aforementioned questionnaire examined and measured three dimensions of religiosity of the respondents of the Islamic faith. The acceptance and internalization of the fundamental postulates of the Islamic faith, with an emphasis on an internalized belief and perception of Allah represents the primary dimension of religiosity. The performance of prayer, through which a close connection with Allah is achieved, and which reinforces the belief, represents the second dimension, while the interpersonal relationship with other people in accordance with Islamic postulates represents the third dimension. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the questionnaire is α = 0.950, which indicates that this is a highly homogenized research instrument, whose claims are in a high degree of correlation.

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Understanding the variations in past ocean carbonate chemistry is critical in elucidating the role of the oceans in balancing the global carbon cycle. The fossil shells from marine calcifiers present in the sedimentary record are widely applied as past ocean carbon cycle proxies. However, the interpretation of these records can be challenging due to the complexity physiological and ecological response to the carbonate system during organisms' life cycle, as well as the potential for preservation at the sea-floor. Here we present a new dissolution proxy based on the morphological attributes of coccolithophores from the Noëlaerhabdaceae family (Emiliania huxleyi and Gephyrocapsa spp., > 2 µm). To evaluate the influences of coccolithophore calcification and coccolith preservation on fossil morphology, we measured morphological attributes, mass, length, thickness, and shape factor (ks), of coccoliths in a laboratory dissolution experiment and surface sediment samples in the South China Sea. The coccolith morphological data in surface sediment were also analyzed with environment settings, namely surface temperature, nutrients, pH, chlorophyll-a concentration, and carbonate saturation of bottom water by a redundancy analysis. Statistical analysis indicate that carbonate saturation of the deep ocean explains the highest proportion of variation in the morphological data instead of the environmental variables of the surface ocean. Moreover, the dissolution trajectory in the ks vs length of coccoliths is comparable between natural samples and laboratory dissolution experiments, emphasizing the importance of carbonate saturation on fossil coccolith morphology. However, the mean ks alone cannot fully explain all variations observed in our work. We propose that the mean ks and standard deviation of ks (σ) over the mean ks (σ/ks) could reflect different degrees of dissolution and size-selective dissolution, influenced by the assemblage composition. By applying together with the σ/ks ratio, the ks factor of fossil coccoliths in deep ocean sediments could be a potential proxy for a quantitative reconstruction of past carbonate dissolution dynamics.
Comparison of Risk Factors for Developing Liver Fibrosis in Subjects With and Without Metabolic Syndrome: A Cohort Study.
Authors: Treviño Morales Ana Karen , Martínez Garza Laura Elia , Calvo Anguiano Geovana , Villarreal Pérez Jesús Zacarías , González Peña Sandra Marlen , Lavalle González Fernando
Published: December 2022

Background:

Metabolic syndrome (MS), a combination of diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity, is a well-known risk factor for developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, condition that can lead to serious liver damage such as liver fibrosis (LF), which is characterized by excessive deposition of connective tissue, progressing to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Nevertheless, subjects without MS may also develop LF. Non-invasive LF predictors based upon anthropometric and biochemical data have been reported.

Aim:

To compare anthropometric, genetic, and biochemical parameters in subjects with or without MS, and at risk for developing liver fibrosis.

Methods:

A randomized sample of 200 individuals was taken from the 2015 Nuevo León State Health Survey. Inclusion criteria were age ≥18 and a previously stored blood sample. According to the parameters obtained, subjects were classified as either with or without MS and their NAFLD fibrosis score was calculated considering variables such as age, BMI, glycemia, albumin, platelets, and AST/ALT ratio, to establish a high or low risk of LF. Comparisons of weight, age, BMI, blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, platelets, albumin, AST/ALT ratio, and HDL were made between groups. DNA was extracted from stored blood samples and genotyped, using q-PCR, according to variants in four genes related to: fatty acid (FA) metabolism (PNPLA3, rs738409), adipocyte differentiation (PLIN2, rs35568725), glucose metabolism (GCKR, rs1260326 and rs780094), and BMI (UCP2, rs659366). Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS v.22. A p value <0.05 was taken as level of significance.

Results:

A total of 134 subjects were included and divided into four groups (n): With MS+ high risk (35), With MS+ low risk (34), Without MS+ high risk (32), Without MS+ low risk (33). Table 1 shows the main significative findings. Higher age, low platelet count, and increased AST/ALT ratio, were significantly different in high risk subjects, independently of the presence of MS. No association between the polymorphisms and risk for fibrosis was found. In subjects at high risk for LF, statistical significance was found for high cholesterol blood levels (OR= 20.0 (95%CI 2.87;139.38) in carriers of the T allele of GCKR rs780094 polymorphism.

Conclusion:

Aging, thrombocytopenia, and increased transaminases, the last two indicators of liver disfunction, were found as important risk factors for LF in subjects without metabolic syndrome. None of the genetic variants analyzed resulted associated to risk of LF, although sample size could be a factor. GCKR rs780094 variant was found related with risk for hypercholesterolemia, even though dyslipidemia was not found associated with risk of LF in the present study.

Entretanto, elas possuem alto custo de aquisição e, em algumas localidades, apenas uma está disponível para cobertura de uma área geográfica extensa, o que traz imprecisão aos dados coletados quando consideramos as diferentes regiões da cidade. Nesse sentido, o objetivo principal deste trabalho foi a elaboração e avaliação de uma estação meteorológica que fornecesse leituras de seus sensores com base na Internet das Coisas em uma plataforma web de acesso livre, informando aos usuários como está o tempo no local onde a estação foi implantada no momento do acesso. A solução proposta (nomeada de IoTupã) possui baixo custo, potencial de implantação em diversas regiões, além de gerar e armazenar os dados para uso em ensino e pesquisa. Uma avaliação foi conduzida para avaliar a acurácia da medição realizada pela estação. Resultados preliminares indicam que a estação construída foi bem sucedida em seu propósito e apresenta acurácia satisfatória nas aferições realizadas em áreas rurais e urbanas da cidade de Porto Seguro - BA.

Published: December 2022

Apesar de também ocorrerem naturalmente, as queimadas no Brasil estão usualmente associadas à renovação de pastagens e limpeza de terrenos agrícolas, representando notável pressão às áreas protegidas legalmente. Assim, a proposta deste trabalho foi a de mapear, quantificar e analisar a ocorrência de queimadas em áreas legalmente protegidas no Cerrado durante o período de 1999 a 2018, considerando as Unidades de Conservação, as Terras Indígenas e os Territórios Quilombolas. Para tanto, foram compilados focos de queimadas do Banco de Dados de Queimadas, administrado pelo Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, sendo, na sequência, cotejados, quantificados e analisados segundo os limites das áreas legalmente protegidas. Os dados apresentados no trabalho retratam que, do total de 1.390.251 focos de queimadas entre o período de 1999 e 2018 no Cerrado, pouco mais 3% ocorreram no interior de Unidades de Conservação de Proteção integral; 5% em Unidades de Conservação de Uso Sustentável; 9,4% em Terras Indígenas e; 0,4% em territórios quilombolas, evidenciando a pressão do agronegócio junto às áreas legalmente protegidas.

Contribuição das sementes crioulas para efetivação de alguns princípios da Agroecologia: diagnóstico de sua produção e utilização em assentamentos rurais do Território Prof. Cory/Andradina-SP
Authors: Pavani Silva Débora , Sant'Ana Antonio Lázaro
Published: December 2022

As sementes crioulas e o conhecimento construído pelos agricultores familiares sobre o seu cultivo são fatores importantes para o desenvolvimento de uma produção agrícola sustentável, em termos multidimensionais. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se realizar o diagnóstico da produção de sementes crioulas nos assentamentos rurais do Território Prof. Cory/Andradina-SP e analisar sua possível relação com o processo de transição agroecológica. Para tanto, foi aplicado um questionário semiaberto na forma de entrevista, junto a 55 guardiões(ãs) identificados pelo método “bola de neve”, em 24 assentamentos. Constatou-se que as sementes crioulas cultivadas pelos guardiões(ãs) do Território podem ser consideradas porta de entrada para a transição agroecológica por possibilitarem a concretização dos princípios da Agroecologia, no âmbito da segurança alimentar, autonomia produtiva, conservação da biodiversidade e comercialização em circuitos curtos.

Henri Lefebvre, decifrador do espaço. Pequena apresentação bio-bibliográfica
Authors: Fernandes Rodrigo
Published: December 2022

O artigo em tela apresenta uma narrativa que contextualiza e articula a vida e a obra do filósofo e sociólogo francês Henri Lefebvre (1901-1991). Mesmo calcado em apontamentos breves e pontuais, acreditamos que um texto dessa natureza cumpre parte da função – um tanto negligenciada pelos acadêmicos brasileiros – de esclarecer as circunstâncias em que nasceram alguns dos insights socioespaciais desse pensador. Reflexões inovadoras que desde os anos 1970 têm-se revelado importantes ferramentas de observação, análise e decifração do espaço, esse conceito-chave da ciência geográfica. Pois, consideramos que a “datação” e “localização” das démarches lefebvreanas, ou seja, sua subordinação à um zeitgeist específico, por certo nos ajuda a compreendê-las, refiná-las e por fim aplica-las de modo mais apropriado.

Published: December 2022

A crise sanitária provocada pela pandemia de Covid-19, além das milhares de vidas perdidas, trouxe um enorme impacto para todos os segmentos da sociedade, principalmente para as atividades ligadas ao turismo. A indústria de hospedagem foi uma das primeiras atividades a serem afetadas e uma das últimas a se recuperar. Assim, a presente investigação tem como objetivo avaliar o impacto da pandemia nos meios de hospedagens dos principais destinos turísticos do litoral cearense. A aquisição de dados foi feita por meio de um formulário eletrônico cuja aplicação se deu entre os meses de junho e julho de 2020, com um total de 56 respostas. Os dados apontam que 75% dos meios de hospedagem são do tipo pousada com mais de 15 anos de funcionamento, e a pandemia gerou um enorme impacto, com diminuição de 66% a 80% no faturamento semestral desses estabelecimentos. Redução de despesas, vouchers de diárias com uso futuro e marketing digital são apontados como as principais estratégias para contornar os efeitos negativos da crise.

Authors: Hussain Ijaz , Iqbal Javed , Muhammad Noor
Published: December 2022

Virtual education is a mode of education that is an opportunity for learners through synchronous and asynchronous educational technologies. This study aimed to find out the perspective of virtual 'Education-for-All' in higher education in Pakistan. It could not be underestimated as it was a vast job opportunity and a second opportunity for individuals. The population of this study was postgraduate learners of the Virtual University of Pakistan. The sample was drawn by using multi-staged random sampling techniques. At the first stage, 15 campuses (three from the university's own and twelve from affiliated campuses) were selected. At the second stage, 30 postgraduate students from each selected campus were selected randomly to make a total of 450 for the sample. The data was collected through a questionnaire developed on a five-pointed Likert scale. The research findings showed that the virtual education mode ensures 'Education-for-All' facilities for learners beyond gender biasness, geographical boundaries, cultural barriers, and in-service individuals. It was recommended that virtual education should expand at a large scale to provide the opportunity to the majority of the population.
