EdTech in Tanzania: A Rapid Scan
Authors: Groeneveld Caspar , Taddese Abeba
Published: September 2021

EdTech Hub country scans explore factors that enable and hinder the use of technology in education. These factors include the policy or vision for EdTech, institutional capacity, private-sector partnerships, and the digital infrastructure. The scans are intended to be comprehensive but are by no means exhaustive; however, we hope they will serve as a useful starting point for more in-depth discussions about opportunities and barriers in EdTech in specific countries, in this case, Tanzania. This report was originally written in June 2020. It is based primarily on desk research, with quality assurance provided by a country expert.

Authors: Koomar Saalim , Moss Coflan Caitlin , Kaye Tom
Published: September 2021

This curated list of resources collates interventions that effectively deploy education technology in settings of fragility, conflict and violence (FCV). The World Bank (2020) states that by 2030 FCV settings will be home to up to two thirds of the world’s extreme poor; these settings have become increasingly complex over the past decade, with the COVID-19 pandemic threatening to exacerbate existing challenges. This list explores effective uses of EdTech in FCV settings. It particularly emphasises interventions and evidence relevant to the Yemeni context and distance learning during the  COVID-19 crisis. These resources were selected with the intention to include practical recommendations on technology-enabled interventions which could support a proposed national distance learning system in Yemen.

Authors: Meepring Soontareeporn , Tulyakul Phatcharapon , Sathagathonthun Ghunyanutt , Supasri Jaruwan
Published: September 2021

Schizophrenia is a severe chronic mental illness affecting twenty million people worldwide. Although the incidence of schizophrenia remains low, its prevalence may remain high due to medication non-adherence. Knowing potential factors relating to non-adherence with medication among patients with schizophrenia by investigating existing literature is needed in order to understand the phenomenology of this situation. Therefore, the study aimed to explore the most common factors that affected medication non-adherence in patients with schizophrenia. A systematic review was conducted through a literature search on Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EBSCOhost, CINAHL Complete, ERIC, and Allied Health databases published from 1980 to 2021. Database searches were conducted with the terms “non-adherence to medication” “schizophrenia,” and “factors.” Eighty-six articles were found following the first-round search. Then seventy-eight articles were excluded due to irrelevant and duplicate tiles. Only eight articles were included for the final review. Per the findings, factors associated with medication non-adherence were categorized into four main themes: individual characteristics, cognitive appraisal, social influence, and health-care service. To improve medication adherence rates in patients with schizophrenia, psychiatric nurses must consider these specific factors while establishing nursing interventions.
Impact of the COVID-19 Quarantine on Young Children’s Family-Based Daily Activities in Greece
Authors: Panagiotopoulou Dimitra , Papadopoulou Kalliroi
Published: September 2021

This study reports on parental perceptions of changes and continuities in young children’s home-based daily activities during the initial COVID-19 quarantine in Greece. Daily activities present significant contexts for children’s learning and development and their continuity in periods of crisis is important for children’s psychological well-being. Existing research worldwide, underscores the changes occurring in families’ daily lives because of the pandemic- imposed restrictions, mostly focusing on their negative impact on family routines and functioning. On the other hand, continuities in children’s everyday activities during the quarantine have been less studied. 116 mothers and fathers, forming a convenience sample, reported on their children’s as well as their own engagement in daily activities with them, before and during the quarantine, using the CDA-PB scale. Results revealed changes in accordance with other research findings on this topic but also continuities in Greek families’ daily activities, which relate to parental values and already established family routines.
Natural frequency and critical velocities of heated inclined pinned PP-R pipe conveying fluid
Authors: Mohmmed J.H. , Tawfik M.A. , Atiyah Q.A.
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The flow velocity and pressure of fluid flowing through a pipeline can cause
the vibration of pipes, and consequently result in the modification in natural frequency
via fluid-structure interaction. The value of the natural frequency of a component when
approaches the excitation force to a certain degree, a severe resonance failure may occur.
Hence, avoiding the resonance failure of a pipe subjected to complex conditions is an
essential issue that requires to be solved urgently in the engineering field. This work treats
the transverse vibration for flexible inclined heated pipe, made of polypropylene randomcopolymer
(PP-R), conveying fluid assuming pinned connections at the ends. The pipe was
placed at different support angles and subjected to variant temperatures.
Design/methodology/approach: The inclined pipe is modelled as Euler-Bernoulli beam
taking into account its self-weight, temperature variation, inclination angle, aspect ratio,
and internal fluid velocity. The integral transforms method, which includes the finite Fourier
sine and the Laplace transforms, was used to develop an analytic solution to the modified
equation of motion and the analytical expressions for dual natural frequencies of the pipefluid
interaction system were computed.
Findings: The proposed solution technique via finite Fourier sine and Laplace transforms
offers a more convenient alternative to calculate the dynamic characteristic of pipes
conveying fluid. The obtained results showed that the dynamical behaviour of pipe–fluid
system is strongly affected by fluid flow velocity, degree of inclination, temperature variation,
and aspect ratio of the pipe in transverse modes.
Research limitations/implications: This work focuses on fundamental (first) mode in
the most discussions.
Practical implications: It was revealed that the thermal effects in the pipe are a very
important factor and more significant in comparison with the internal fluid velocity and the
inclination angle has a larger impact on vibration characteristics at a higher aspect ratio. The
findings can be useful for the design of engineering components.
Originality/value: Determining the combining effect of inclination angle, aspect ratio, and
thermal loading on vibration characteristic of the pipes conveying fluid by using an improved
analytic solution to the modified equation of motion via mixed of finite Fourier sine and
Laplace transforms.

‘Our Enemies Are Swindlers’! Conceptualising Anti-Corruption Legalism as a Securitising Device
Authors: Ezeh Ugochukwu
Published: September 2021

This article seeks to conceptualise anti-corruption legalism as a symptom of a broader phenomenon: the securitisation of corruption. Securitisation refers to the complex social processes through which political actors frame corruption as an existential threat to valued referent objects; construct it as a security problem; and, in turn, acquire broad mandates to tackle it by recourse to emergency measures. By building on case studies from contemporary Nigerian legal history, this article argues that the securitisation of corruption is mediated, to a considerable extent, by anti-corruption legalism - defined as a repertoire of legalistic rules, discourses, and practices that perform a regulatory crackdown on corruption. As a constitutive element of the securitisation of corruption, anti-corruption legalism excises corruption from legal and other normative frameworks applicable to other crimes with a view to tackling it through a repressive national security paradigm. Securitisation, in turn, catalyses the decline of the rule of law through its corrosive effects on judicial power, judicial independence, and human rights. Taken together, securitisation and anti-corruption legalism are counterproductive approaches insofar as they undermine the evolution of democratic values, political accountability mechanisms, and independent constitutional institutions that form the bedrock of meaningful and sustainable anti-corruption strategies.
The Interplay between International and National Institutions in Fighting Corruption: Lessons from the Piero Foresti, Laura de Carli & Others v. The Republic of South Africa’s Case
Authors: Kabre Rimdolmsom Jonathan
Published: September 2021

Piero Foresti, Laura de Carli and others v. Republic of South Africa is the only case, administered by the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), that involves the Republic of South Africa. This case was characterized by an allegation of corruption which appeared, not ‘before’ the referral to the tribunal as occurs in most investment disputes, but ‘during’ the proceedings of the ICSID tribunal: How did the corruption manifest in this case? How was it fought and by which institutions? This article examines these questions and discusses the role of arbitral tribunals and local institutions (notably courts and national bar associations) in addressing the challenge of corruption. It looks also at the kind of interplay that may exist between international and national institutions for an effective fight against corruption. Such a discussion is particularly relevant in the context of a country like South Africa, which has terminated most of its bilateral investment agreements and replaced them with a national piece of legislation: The Protection of Investment Act (PIA) of 2015 which does not provide for Investor-State Arbitration. Consequently, foreign investors in this country have only recourse to national adjudicative bodies (but also to mediation or state-to-state arbitration) for the settlement of their disputes, including corruption-based disputes. Therefore, what are the lessons to be learned from this case with regard to the uses of the law to combat corruption and to the adequacy of national institutions to deal with corruption cases with transnational elements?
More Discretion, Less Law: Exploring the Dilemmas in the Recent Anticorruption Reform in China
Authors: Bian Su
Published: September 2021

In 2018, the promulgation of the Supervision Law in China professed the central government’s determination to combat ‘corruption’ at a new level. By putting ‘all public officials exerting public powers’ under supervision, these newly-established supervisory commissions have unified the dual-track and dual-leadership supervision system that came into force since 1954. In this respect, some have argued that the supervision reform is a step forward toward promoting the Rule of Law in China. However, this paper argues that there are some key ambiguities to be clarified in this law, especially with regard to non-typical corruptions - the vaguely-defined supervised object of ‘duty-related violations’. By comparing this notion with similar concepts in other countries, particularly the ‘maladministration’ under the jurisdiction of an ombudsman, this paper suggests that the supervisory power for anticorruption needs to be checked by other state powers so as not to degenerate into a new discretionary power.
Challenging the Power of the Prosecution? The First Phase of the Establishment of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (Kowigongjikchabŏmjoesusach'ŏ) in the Republic of Korea
Authors: Domning Gwendolyn
Published: September 2021

The Republic of Korea has shown a strong political will to develop its anti-corruption capacities. Research argues that corruption has been - and still is - an issue for the Korean political system before and after its democratization. Even after substantial legal developments in the anti-corruption field, trust in state institutions and actors has not improved much. The Korean parliament decided in 2019 on the creation of a permanent Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) in hopes of eradicating corruption. The CIO is an independent institution in charge of investigating and indicting cases of corruption committed by high-level officials, with a special focus on law professionals. After many controversies and some revisions, it started operating in January 2021. In the context of studying the role and development of anti-corruption laws in the world, research on anti-corruption institutions can contribute to our understanding of corruption in context. In this article, the creation of anti-corruption agencies is seen as part of state legitimacy building process. How is the CIO, which aims to reduce corruption, contributing to state legitimacy? Looking at performance and process-based legitimacy, the article centers its analysis on the first version of the CIO and argues that the institution provides new anti-corruption ‘services’ on one side and strengthens state accountability mechanisms on the other. First, institutional analysis shows that new capacities are added to the state-led anti-corruption activity field, mainly limited investigation, and indictment rights. Second, context analysis focusing on corruption scandals involving law professionals argues that the government builds process legitimacy by being responsive to public criticism and pushing for the creation of the CIO.

Islamisches Wirtschafts- und Vertragsrecht
Authors: Oberauer Norbert
Published: September 2021

Contract law assumes a central position within Islamic legal discourse. It regulates economic transactions and thus affects a quotidian sphere of human action. At the same time, it is a particularly illustrative case of a general conflict that permeates Islamic law, to wit, the tension between ethical postulates, such as equity and fairness, and practical concerns, such as the mechanisms of the market.

Based on a broad range of sources, this book introduces readers to the basics of Islamic contract law. It focuses on the classical Sunni tradition, but also addresses more recent developments, such as ‘Islamic Banking’ and cryptocurrencies. This second edition of the book has been extended to include a chapter on money.

László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) was the first to recognize and activate the educational potential of the photogram. This is the first study of his photogram pedagogy and its significance in art history. As a result of his efforts to understand painting as an art that consists not of pigments but of light, Moholy-Nagy developed the photogram into a new main form of avantgarde practice.
Weltkonstruktion
Authors: Roesler Sascha
Published: September 2021

With his “Weltkonstruktion” publication, Sascha Roesler offers the first global history of architectural ethnography (conducted by modern architects). The publication goal was to document the relevance of this history for today’s constructive thinking in architecture. The modern architects’ empirical exploration of domestic buildings outside Europe uncovered the narrowings of modern concepts of construction and made visible their epistemic limitations . In the ethnographic discourses about popular building outside Europe, parameters related to building that the architecture discipline – owing to time constrictions, or theoretical and ideological reasons – had neglected, may reconsidered again. In lieu of construction’s usual orientation towards load-bearing structures, novel conceptual fields of reference appear, highlighted as thermodynamic or symbolically structured materiality.
dan der krig ist ein wüdtentes tihr
Authors: Hasselbeck Johannes
Published: September 2021

Die Arbeit untersucht umfassend die Auswirkungen des Dreißigjährigen Krieges auf die geistliche Residenzstadt Bamberg. Untersuchungsgegenstand sind zentrale Bereiche wie Politik, Finanzen, Militär, Bauwesen, Demographie und Handel. Neben den Kriegsjahren erfahren dabei die bisher oft nicht berücksichtigten Jahrzehnte des Wiederaufbaus nach Kriegsende Beachtung.

Meist konnte die Stadt Bamberg den Belastungen des Krieges kaum mit wirksamen Gegenmaßnahmen begegnen. Zumindest konnten großflächige Zerstörungen vermieden werden. Der Wiederaufbau nach Kriegsende war von demographischer und ökonomischer Stagnation sowie dem Festhalten an althergebrachten Bauformen geprägt. Erst am Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts setzte ein deutlicher Aufschwung ein.
The Disparity in Criminal Prosecution against Acid Attack on Investigator of Corruption Eradication Commission: "Novel Baswedan” Case
Authors: Riyadi Bambang Slamet , Usman  , Sudarti Elly
Published: September 2021

This study aims to analyze the causes of the disparity in the criminal prosecution against acid attack. It is suspected that there has been a conspiracy of abuse of power between investigators and prosecutors, which reflects injustice in the criminal procedure law. This research clarifies a case study of the disparity of prosecution through mutually acknowledged norms and values. Case studies also enable the researchers to study the real thing, and gain a better understanding of what disparities in criminal prosecution. The result of the research showed that it was suspected that there had been a conspiracy of abuse of power between the investigator and the prosecutor, so that there was no justice for the victim. The researchers suggest limiting the prosecutors 'discretion and the existence of an independent institution for prosecutors' supervisory functions.
Evaluating corpora with word lists and word difficulty
Authors: Culligan Brent A.
Published: September 2021

This study examines the application of an IRT analysis of words on lists including the General Service List (GSL), New General Service List (NGSL), Academic Word List (AWL), New Academic Word List (NAWL), and TOEIC Service List (TSL). By comparing line graphs, density distribution graphs, and boxplots for the average difficulty of each word list to related lists, we can get a visualization of the data’s distribution. Japanese EFL students responded to one or more of 84Yes/No test forms compiled from 5,880 unique real words and 2,520 nonwords. The real words were analyzed using Winsteps (Linacre,2005) resulting in IRT estimates for each word. By summing the difficulties of each word, we can calculate the average difficulty of each word list which can then be used to rank the lists. In effect, the process supports the concurrent validity of the lists. The analysis indicates the word family approach results in more difficult word lists. The mean difficulties of the GSL and the BNC_COCA appear to be more divergent and more difficult particularly over the first 4000 words, possibly due to the use of Bauer and Nation’s (1993) Affix Level 6 definition for their compilation. Finally, just as we should expect word lists for beginners to have higher frequency words than subsequent lists, we should also expect them to be easier with more words known to learners. This can be seen with the gradual but marked difference between the different word lists of the NGSL and its supplemental SPs.
Foreign language vocabulary learning and the type of processing-resource allocation model
Authors: Kida Shusaku
Published: September 2021

This paper argues the nature of adult foreign or second language (L2) vocabulary learning and points out the importance of word-form learning at the initial stage of vocabulary development. The Type of Processing-Resource Allocation (TOPRA) model is introduced as a prominent theoretical framework to capture it. Finally, some future studies are proposed to reinforce TOPRA-based studies with respect to (1) types of vocabulary processing tasks and (2) dimensions of vocabulary development.
Vocabulary instruction and learning: A commentary on four studies
Authors: Larson-Hall Jenifer
Published: September 2021

Four papers were presented by Shusaku Kida, Magda Kitano and Katsuhiro Chiba, Tim Stoeckel, and Raymond Stubbe. In this article, my thoughts about the issues raised in these thought-provoking papers about vocabulary resource processing allocation and the Type of Processing Resource Allocation (TOPRA) model, the use of flashcards in vocabulary learning, an empirical evaluation of the New General Service List (NGSL), and the use of yes-no checklists for multi-word units are given. The first paper provided some theoretical underpinnings for thinking about vocabulary acquisition, while the last three papers were valuable for their extremely timely and practical examination of issues that are highly important for the acquisition of vocabulary.
Commentary on four studies for JALT vocabulary SIG
Authors: Tono Yukio
Published: September 2021

The four papers in this volume focused on mainly three areas: readability (Pinchbeck), wordlist evaluation (Ishikawa, Culligan), and data-driven learning (McGuire). The author would argue that whilst applied corpus linguistics and L2 vocabulary research are closely related to each other, there has not been much interaction between the two disciplines. The review of the four papers has also shown such lack of interaction between the two fields. By reviewing each study, some additional concepts and previous related studies in corpus linguistics will be presented in order to fill those gaps.

Bu bağlamda sağlık alanındaki kişilerin dikkatli olmasının mali getirisi oldukça yüksek olacaktır. Buna ek olarak pandemi döneminde atıkların etkin bir şekilde yönetilmesi virüsün yayılmasını da engellenebilecektir. Sağlık Bilimleri
Fakültesi öğrencilerinin COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde tıbbi atık yönetimine ilişkin tutum ve davranışlarının değerlendirmesi bu çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Bu amaçla oluşturulmuş olan anketler çevrimiçi olarak 494 öğrenci
tarafından cevaplandırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda toplanmış olan verilerin tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve ki kare bağlamında analizleri yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın etik onayı Muş Alparslan Üniversitesi Bilimsel Araştırma ve Yayın Etiği
Kurulu tarafından 14/01/2021 tarihli ve 2 sayılı toplantısında alınan 8 numaralı kararınca verilmiştir. Sağlık bilimlerinde eğitim gören öğrenciler hem hastanedeki uygulama eğitimlerinde hem de hastanede çalışırken tıbbi atıklarla
uğraşmakta ve bu atıklardan kaynaklı olarak potansiyel risk taşımaktadırlar. Tıbbi atıkların toplaması ve bertaraf edilmesinde sağlık çalışanlarının ve sağlıkla ilgili bölümlerde eğitim öğretim gören öğrencilerin daha bilinçli
olmaları gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada sağlık bilimleri fakültesinde eğitim gören üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerin tıbbi atık yönetimi konularında daha dikkatli oldukları gözlemlenmiştir. Katılımcıların tıbbi atık, evsel atık,
geri dönüşüm atık ve tehlikeli atık torbalarının renklerini bilme oranları %50’nin altında çıkmıştır. Ayrıca öğrencilerin yaklaşık %85’i COVID-19’un kullanılan maske, eldiven, galoş gibi tıbbi atıkların bertaraf edilmesindeki bilgi
eksikliği sebebiyle bulaştığını düşünmektedirler. Sağlık konularında daha bilinçli olmaları ve topluma örnek davranışlar sergilemeleri beklenen katılımcıların tıbbi atık yönetimi ile ilgili bilgi düzeylerinin yeterli olmadığı sonucuna
varılmıştır.

Sanat bir ifade etme biçimidir. Bu ifade etme sürecinde estetik kaygı temelli farklı malzemeler kullanılabilmekte ve bu malzemeler de farklı sanat dallarının ortaya çıkmasına sebep olmaktadır. Her ne kadar malzemeleri birbirinden farklı
olsa da her bir sanat dalı, aynı amaç doğrultusunda kendine özgü sanat eserleri ortaya koymaktadır. Sanat dallarına resim, müzik, dans, edebiyat vb. örnek olarak verilebilmektedir. İlk insanlardan günümüz modern yaşamına kadar
bu sanat dalları, teknolojinin ve dönemim özelliklerine göre yapısal gelişmeler göstermektedir. Özellikle Rönsesans’ tan itibaren hızlı ilerlemelerin olduğu tüm sanat dallarında, 19. yüzyıl sonu ile 20. yüzyıl başlarında büyük
gelişmeler olmuştur. Bu gelişmelerden biri de farklı sanat dallarının birbirinin biçim ve içerik özelliklerinden etkilenerek yeni ve özgün eserler ortaya koymasıdır. Bunlara en güzel örnek resim-müzik ilişkisidir. Resim-müzik ilişkisi
konusuna özel bir ilgisi olan Fransız ressam Henri Matisse resimlerinde müziksel yapılanma arayışlarında bulunmuştur. Nitel araştırma desenlerinden durum çalışması ile şekillendirilen bu araştırmanın amacı Henri Matisse’ in resimlerinden
olan “Dans” ve “Müzik” resimlerindeki müziksel öğelerin incelenmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda literatür detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiş ve ilgili resimlerde akor, legato, staccato, orkestrasyon ve kontrpuan olmak üzere beş farklı
müziksel öğe olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu öğelerin somutlaştırılması için araştırmacı tarafından uzman görüşleri alınarak müziksel yazım örnekleri sunulmuştur. Resimlerin müzik ile yeniden ifade edilmesinin diğer araştırmacıların
dikkatini çekeceği ve sanat alanına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Plastic waste material continues to present environmental challenges throughout the world.  Of greatest concern is their disposal in agricultural soils where they interfere with soil fertility due to its inability to decompose fast.  Specifically, the research examined under experimental conditions the crop germinative emergence of (Zea mays L.) and finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn) as affected by plastic waste material commonly disposed in urban and rural environments of Kenya.  The plastic types were identified by their thickness of 30 microns. The experiment was laid out in a 2 by 1 Randomized Block Design (Latin Square) with two replicates in plots each measuring 1m x 1m.  The data collected involved determination of emergence percent cover. The date of planting was noted and records were taken from the day first shoot emergence was observed in controls for 10 days.  Percent emergence measurements was done for at least 10 days and this involved taking of vertical photographs of each plot from the day first shoot emergence was observed in controls.  Assumptions of normality were found to be satisfactory and the set hypotheses were supported by the results. In the overall, there were significant differences (P<0.05) between E. coracana planted in soils mixed with 6 microns thick plastic material and the ones planted in controls. The EPC mean for the E. coracana planted in soils mixed with 30 microns thick plastic material was 25.78%, while controls had 75.58%.  There were significant differences (P<0.05) between Z. mays in soils mixed with 6 microns thick plastic material and the ones planted in controls. The EPC mean for the Z. mays planted in soils mixed with thick plastic material was 41.52%, while that of control groups was 86.18%.  In conclusion, there were a significant difference (P<0.05) in effects of 6 microns’ thick plastic material on germinative emergence of the two food crops, that is; E. coracana and Z. mays and hence the study recommends that, plastic waste material of any thickness should be avoided on farmlands where Z. mays and E. coracana are grown.

Aim: The aim of this study is to assess complications in inadvertent arterial injection and their management.

Methods: From June 2018 to May 2020 in Tanta University Hospitals vascular and endovascular surgery department, this study was conducted on 30 patients with inadvertent intra-arterial drug injection complications, including femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, acute ischemia, and compartment syndrome. In 20 patients with femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, proximal control to external iliac artery and assessment of the vascularity was done intra-operatively for distal arterial Doppler flow. If the distal arterial flow was present, ligation of the common femoral artery was done, While if it was absent, iliofemoral bypass was done. Brachio-ulnar bypass was done for brachial artery pseudoaneurysm. Fasciotomy was done for compartment syndrome.

Results: The mean age of patients was 27.4 years ranged from 1 year to 64 years. The femoral artery was affected in 20 cases. The brachial artery was involved in 6 cases, radial artery in 2 cases, and ulnar artery in 2 cases. In 20 patients, ligations of the common femoral artery CFA with debridement of necrotic were done for all cases. Twelve patients had good Doppler flow, eight patients had no Doppler flow, and iliofemoral bypass was done. In the upper limb cases, one case presented by severe edema in hand necessitating fasciotomy. Four cases presented with fixed color changes and gangrene in fingers after one brachial, one radial, and two ulnar arteries injections and required minor amputation. Two cases were presented with neglected ischemia and extensive infection, and above the elbow, amputation was done. In three cases with brachial pseudoaneurysm, we ligated the brachial artery, and no bypass was done with the preserved distal flow in one case; in the other two cases of brachial artery pseudoaneurysm, we did brachio-ulnar bypass.

Conclusion: Inadvertent IA injection of medications has no appropriate therapeutic guidelines. The actual incidence rates, natural history, and pathophysiologic factors surrounding these complications are unclear. For prevention, the best tools are the assessment of the risk factors and consequences. The treatment options are immediate recognition of the situation, disease progress, pain control, anticoagulation, specific therapy.

Aims: To investigate the effect of elevated resting heart rate (RHR), hypertension (HTN) and associated risk factors on the prevalence of stroke among Sudanese adults. 

Study Design: This is a cross-sectional study based on a survey conducted by Sudanese society of hypertension during the May Month of Measurement (MMM), 2018 campaign.

Methods: A total of 12281 respondents (mean age: 32.5±14.5 years, 49% men) were included. Structured questionnaires of demographic data, and self-reported medical history were filled by all respondents and analyzed.  Blood pressure and RHR were measured using an Omron BP monitor. Participants were divided into two main cohorts: normotensive (n=9497, 77.3%) and hypertensive (n=2784, 22.7%) participants. Each cohort was then segregated into three sub-cohorts using RHR tertiles (T1: <79 bpm; T2: RHR: 79 to 100 bpm; and T3:>100 bpm).

Results: Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the individual and combined effect of RHR and HTN on prevalence of stroke. Hypertensive patients were more likely to develop stroke compared to normotensive participants (OR= 2. 968, 95% CI 2.028-4.345). Within the hypertensive cohort, RHR T3 participants had a significantly increased risk of stroke compared to RHR T1-T2 combined (OR= 2.35, 95% CI1.043-5.323). Individuals of RHR T3 sub-cohort were more likely to be younger, leaner and displayed significantly higher level of both systolic & diastolic blood pressure compared to RHR T1 and T2 groups. Diabetes Mellitus and smoking increased the odds of stroke among both normotensives (OR (95% CI):5.6 (2.24- 14.09), 3.17 (1.71-6.08 respectively), and hypertensives (OR (95% CI): 4.40 (2.26-8.58), 2.03 (0.95-4.32) respectively). Female gender and older age also increases the odds of stroke among hypertensives (OR (95% CI): 1.85 (1.00- 3.45) and 2.00 (1.02- 4.17) respectively.  

In conclusion, this study demonstrated that HTN was an independent risk factor of stroke. The effect of elevated RHR on stroke was only prominent when joined to high blood pressure. Prevalence of tachycardia was higher among the young participants which make them more prone to stroke if the condition is associated with HTN. Our results highlight the importance of addressing elevated RHR to reduce the risk of stroke particularly among hypertensive patients.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between home environment and child deviant behaviours in Rivers state, Nigeria. The study adopted a correlational research design. A stratified non-proportionate random sampling technique was used to select 300 married teachers’ having children under their care. The mean and standard deviation were evaluated. Pearson’s Product-Moment correlation was used to test the hypotheses using the Statistical Package for Service Solution (SPSS). Results from the study showed that there is a significant relationship between home environment variables such as family socioeconomic status, poor attitude of extended family members’ and home media and Deviant Behaviour. The result from this study also showed that poor attitudes of extended family members such as smoking, gossiping, bad advice, over pampering and moral bankrupt will negatively affect the child. The findings also revealed that uncontrolled television viewing, addiction to games, exposure to pornography through unregulated home media, school absenteeism, uncontrolled use of internet at home and unregulated television viewing can have negative effects on the child. Furthermore, the family economic status such as inability to provide basic needs by parents, family poverty and unmet needs can result to deviant behaviours such as stealing, disrespect and street begging in children. It is therefore recommended that families should be sensitized on the destructive aspects of the extended family structure on child behaviours. In addition, families should regulate the use of home media by children.
