Based on document analysis, the research results show that the authors prepare the materials to be discussed from the books and books relevant to the issues to be discussed, both primary and secondary. Primary sources are books or books that deal with education, both in general education and religious education. The secondary sources are books or books that do not specifically address education but have something to do with the discussion. That Islam is a plenary religion that regulates all aspects of human life including in it religious education in children should follow the concepts that are shown by Allah and His Messenger that is through the holy book (Al-Qur'an) and the Sunnah of His Apostle, in this case means making the Messenger of Allah as the ideal model in an effort to realize the concepts that exist in the Qur'an. Although the Qur'an and As-Sunna have been so firmly obliged to follow it but still there are among Muslim parents who have not made the Qur'an and As-Sunah as a guide in educating their children. Problems arise how our efforts to the concept of Islamic education must be implemented in accordance with the teachings of Islam.

The actualization of visual communication can’t be separated from bussines and aesthetic design. The sense is important role in creation. If it doesn’t, it will be treatise tragedy. The product of visual communication can’t be separated from media, as a mediation place among product, services, even self actualization with social community who became target. The presence of sense on every element in the design will frame the concept of design. Research methods uses a qualitative approach with emphasis on observation and documentation. The analize data uses case study. Creating with sense is appreciation problems, because every action of human involve all five senses. The appreciation through the imagination manifested visually may experience stylized, distortion, and adaptation. But interestingly, designer is able to capture the essence, so the sense be more involved in the creation process. The sense of design is the result of the appreciation that includes creative activity. The creative, expression, perception, character, productive, inventive, innovation, inspiration, and emergentif aspects that present in the overall design concept focused on achieving aesthetic value. The design of visual communications show the sense of the process until the final design.

Infrastructure in the form of bridges is very important for Buntok Regency in Central Kalimantan where the area is swampy or lowland area. Total wood bridge construction is 45% from total 163 bridge in this area that most of them are not proper condition considering some wood materials need to be replaced. The innovation has been created to find the effective way how to maintenance the wooden bridge that has been idle for long time due to broken material on superstructure of the bridge. The floor of bridge that constructed with previous materials of ulin wooden bridge replaced by composite materials with floordeck concrete combination. The implementation of Tampa Bridge maintenance innovation showed better performance in terms of safety, comfortable and smoothness of bridge users from community around. In terms of budget aspect, the maintenance is cumulatively more efficient than if carrying out floor changes every year considering no longer possible to find ulin wood anymore. On technical point of view, with reinforced concrete can be applied to wooden bridges selectively only on ulin wooden bridges whose substructure is still intact and only minor damage to the spoorband and floor occurs. Bridge maintenance procedures need to be create to keep better maintenance for longer life time of the existing bridge that can be applied for another wooden bridge for maintenance.

Authors: Ali Salim , Nchaga Asuma , Wepukhulu Joshua
Published: October 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of devolution on service delivery in the public service in Kenya. A case of Marsabit County.

Materials and Methods: To achieve the objectives of the study primary data was collected through questionnaire administration. The data collected, tabulated and was analyzed using multivariate regression model with the aid of SPSS version 25 software. Mixed methods research is preferable for the study due to the provision of a better conception of a research issue or dilemma and that a solo research approach is inadequate. A mixed research approach is a research master plan that combines qualitative and quantitative research components to deal with research issues to enter into healthy research conclusions. The study used questionnaires for data collection from the staff members. The questionnaires were both open and close-ended questions. The close-ended questions provided more structured responses to facilitate tangible recommendations.

Results: The findings of the study indicated that; 80% of the respondents stated that allocation of funds and approved for decision making were significant variables in determination of service delivery at Marsabit County government. The findings indicates that majority of respondents believed that the projects information are updated quarterly and semiannually, 20% weekly, 10% weekly while 6.67% others. The findings reveals that the updating time for information is more than three months, which risks the information accuracy. Majority (33.3%) of participants noted that the main advantage of accountability and transparency human resource is helping in offering exemplary service delivery, 25.0% enhances committed to and supporting the management in influencing the service delivery and 20% helps in coordinates and communicate well in implementation of services in the county The findings further indicate that 12% believed Marsabit County is not well staffed hence likely impacting on the quality-of-service delivery.

Further Research: The study recommends further studies on influence of devolution of government service delivery on provision of healthcare in other health facilities of the same magnitude in other Counties. Given the fact that devolution is a new concept in Kenya, more study research should be carried out to evaluate the effect of devolution of government service delivery on healthcare staff motivation in provision of healthcare services.

Pathology of Gliomas and the Role Immunotherapy Plays in Combatting Glioma Proliferation
Authors: Kothakapa Divya , Swaminathan Anush
Published: October 2021

Glioma, a type of tumor arising from the brain and/or spinal cord, is a relatively broad term, encompassing three main types of glial cell tumors: astrocytoma, ependymoma, and oligodendroglioma. A prognosis for a glioma can often be extremely poor, with an overall survival rate of 54.84%. With around 20,000 gliomas being diagnosed each year, it is imperative that effective treatments are developed for management of these tumors. A popular treatment pathway for the treatment of gliomas is surgery along with chemo-radiation therapy such as Temozolomide. This current treatment plan, though, has a moderate effect on lengthening glioma patients’ prognoses. The average survival of this plan is 3 to 6 months. New treatments in the field of immunotherapies may have promising effects for glioma patients’ prognoses. Arising developments in immunotherapy glioma treatment and management is an important field to investigate to further improve the effectivity of cancer treatment for glioma patients. Certain immunotherapies in trials have proven to make impactful improvements to glioma prognoses, one trial showing an increase of 2 months in median survival. This literature review will focus on the pathology and characteristics of the proliferation of malignant glioma cells and the role immunotherapy plays in combatting glioma proliferation
Comparison of Neural Network and Machine Learning Approaches in Prediction of Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: Nag Shreya , Jammula Nimitha
Published: October 2021

The diagnosis of a disease to determine a specific condition is crucial in caring for patients and furthering medical research. The timely and accurate diagnosis can have important implications for both patients and healthcare providers. An earlier diagnosis allows doctors to consider more methods of treatment, allowing them to have a greater flexibility of tailoring their decisions, and ultimately improving the patient’s health. Additionally, a timely detection allows patients to have a greater control over their health and their decisions, allowing them to plan ahead. As advancements in computer science and technology continue to improve, these two factors can play a major role in aiding healthcare providers with medical issues. The emergence of artificial intelligence and machine learning can aid in addressing the challenge of completing timely and accurate diagnosis. The goal of this research work is to design a system that utilizes machine learning and neural network techniques to diagnose chronic kidney disease with more than 90% accuracy based on a clinical data set, and to do a comparative study of the performance of the neural network versus supervised machine learning approaches. Based on the results, all the algorithms performed well in prediction of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with more that 90% accuracy. The neural network system provided the best performance (accuracy = 100%) in prediction of chronic kidney disease in comparison with the supervised Random Forest algorithm (accuracy = 99%) and the supervised Decision Tree algorithm (accuracy = 97%).

Kinematic analysis of Felix Baumgartner's stratospheric jump in 2012
Authors: Zavala Josemaria , Menendez Jimmy
Published: October 2021

The present investigation shows a kinematic analysis of Baumgartner’s stratospheric jump, based on a scientific report by Red Bull. The modeling was carried out using the different forces that intervened in the event (velocity, acceleration, etc.), making it possible to generate a mathematical model capable of extrapolating data and allowing us a better appreciation of such scientific achievement. All the mathematical exploration has been carried out with ten decimal places; however, they will be rounded to four in writing. The action plan was based on obtaining the velocities by placing points on a velocity model belonging to an approximate graph of a Red Bull scientific report, which was put into the GeoGebra Classic 5 program to find the velocities. After this, we proceeded to find the accelerations and the formula of the function that models them. Finally, this formula was integrated to acquire the mathematical model of the velocities.
Understanding the Significance & Complexity of the Brady Rule
Authors: Mehta Prisha , Sandel Ryne
Published: October 2021

My independent study final product is a means of demonstrating the importance and complexity of evidentiary disclosure in the American criminal justice system. To accomplish this, I designed an experiment to evaluate the impact of Brady violations on the outcome of a criminal trial or plea negotiation. The experiment involved presenting two different versions of a fictional criminal case to forty-four volunteer participants, who were randomly organized into two even groups: Group A and Group B. Version A of the case included the totality of the evidence collected during the discovery phase of the case while Version B of the case omitted a single piece of “exculpatory” evidence to produce the effect of a Brady violation. After reading the given facts, participants in both groups A and B were asked to answer questions regarding the defendant’s culpability and the wisest course of legal action. Participants were given a specified period between three weeks and three days to review the facts and submit their answers to the experimental questions. The results of this experiment and my supporting research on federal and state disclosure regimes show that the “materiality” clause in the Brady Rule subjects prosecutors to highly subjective and vague criteria that 1) can easily be exploited by prosecutors with malicious intents and 2) increase the risk of unintended Brady violations by good-meaning prosecutors.
Meeting the Real “Gini” of India:
Authors: Gulati Aman , Cho Kah Ying
Published: October 2021

Based on our fraught human history of widespread revolts, it is often presumed that income inequality can disrupt the status-quo. In recent years, researchers have come to question this connection between actual inequality and adverse political results. The findings show that most people around the world are unable to gauge societal inequality through relative comparisons, and are uncertain about both the magnitude and directionality of the gap. The aim of this study was twofold: 1) to assess the disparity between Indian respondents’ perceived and actual ratings of income inequality in India using a Gini Coefficient score; and 2) to identify factors that influenced these ratings. Almost 250 respondents from a wide cross-section of India participated in an online survey to give their perceived ratings of India’s Gini coefficient score along with the factors that influenced their responses.  Over 90.2% considered the degree of inequality in India to be far higher than the actuality, thus showing the great extent to which they consider their country to be an unequal one. The analysis identifies “Quality of Governance” as the only statistically significant predictor for improving income inequality, showing that the government is considered to be the primary bearer of responsibility for providing quality education and healthcare, which is sadly lacking. Nonetheless, the findings constitute a “call to action” for the Indian Government to implement more effective policies to tackle these issues. Future studies could delve deeper into the problem to determine the extent to which governance influences perceived income inequality in India.
Blood-Brain Barrier Therapeutics for Neurological Diseases
Authors: Sahni Aarushi , Katchur Nicole
Published: October 2021

The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) is a highly selective filter responsible for allowing certain gases such as oxygen and lipid-soluble molecules to pass (Anand 2014). Its selectiveness makes it challenging for many therapeutics to combat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease with external drug therapies. Large-molecule drug therapies never pass the BBB while small-molecule drugs pass only about 5% of the time (Pardridge 2005). In Alzheimer’s disease, tight junctions between endothelial cells degrade, causing an unregulated accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) protein (Ramanathan 2015). Consequently, this leads to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles that cut off the nutrient supply to the brain cells and kill neurons (Ramanathan 2015). In Parkinson’s disease, astrocyte mutations cause a build-up of α-synuclein (αSyn) which affects the neuroinflammatory response and causes dysfunction in dopaminergic neurons (Booth 2017; Meade 2019). New drug therapies for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s continue to undergo trials; some such as FPS-ZM1 and tilavonemab for Alzheimer’s and Ravicti for Parkinson’s have shown promising results. In addition, similarities in dysfunction for both diseases and some types of cancer have sparked possibilities in retargeting cancer drugs to improve Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s pathologies. This review will summarize current therapeutic advancements for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and their possible future contributions.

Authors: Halenka Milan , Salzmann Richard , Munteanu Hana , Brož Martin , Schovánek Jan , Fryšák Zdeněk
Published: October 2021

Summary Introduction: Some extrathyroidal cervical cystic lesions can be treated in selected situations by minimally invasive, low-risk method – ultrasound--guided percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (US-PEIT). Here we present 6 cases of neck cysts of various origins – ranula, thyroglossal duct cyst, branchial cleft cyst, midline neck cyst of the pyramidal lobe and dermoid cyst. Method and material: The cohort consisted of 6 patients (mean age 58 ± 13.3 years), who were followed for recurrent cervical cysts located outside the thyroid gland. The cysts were visible, palpable, aesthetically unpleasant and also mechanically compressing the surrounding tissue. After repeated evacuations, they filled in again. The patients repeatedly refused the recommended surgery and demanded an alternative solution. US-PEIT of thyroid cysts is used worldwide as a full-fledged alternative to surgical treatment. We used the same procedure for the treatment of presented neck cysts. Results: The initial volume of cysts was 2–35 mL (mean 17.7 mL); the patients underwent 1–6 sclerotization sessions (mean 3.6). The patients were followed for 12 months; the final volume of solid residue was 0.1–2 mL (mean 1 mL) representing volume reduction by 80–99% (mean 92%). Therapeutic success (volume reduction > 50%) was achieved in all patients. Conclusion: US-PEIT of cervical cysts as an alternative to surgery can be used especially in elderly patients with increased surgical risk or in patients refusing surgery. In middle-aged and older adults, the possibility of a necrotic metastatic lymph node should always be considered. Therefore, a benign cytological examination and an unsuspecting ultrasonographic and CT finding are the basic conditions before performing the ethanol ablation. Key words neck cysts – ultrasound-guided percutaneous ethanol injection therapy

Arbitragem administrativa à luz da Constituição Federal
Authors: Martins Ricardo Marcondes
Published: October 2021

Este estudo versa sobre a adoção da arbitragem para solução definitiva de conflitos entre a Administração Pública brasileira e o administrado. Apesar de fortes razões sociológicas contrárias à adoção do instituto no Brasil, surpreendentemente a comunidade jurídica assimilou-o com tranquilidade. Razões dogmáticas, porém, impedem sua adoção. A tese de que ela é possível quando se trata de interesse secundário é insustentável, pois o interesse secundário só é válido quando coincidente com o primário. A indisponibilidade do interesse público foi contornada pela expressa autorização legislativa. É impossível contornar a supremacia do interesse público sobre o privado, que impede afastar do Judiciário a prerrogativa de dar a última palavra sobre a interpretação das questões relativas ao interesse público. Por isso, todas as leis autorizadoras da arbitragem administrativa são inconstitucionais.

Published: October 2021

Early Warning System (EWS) for monitoring megastructures deformation, natural hazards, earthquakes, and landslidescan prevent economic and life losses. Nowadays, Real-Time Precise Point Positioning (RT-PPP) plays a vital role in thisdomain since it relies on precise real-time measurements derived from a single receiver, provides real-time monitoring andglobal coverage. Nevertheless, RT-PPP measurements and methodology is very sensitive to outliers in products, latenciesand changes in the constellation geometry. Consequently, there are long initialization periods, losses of convergence anddifferent noise sources, with a high impact on the warning system's availability or even led out to initiate false warnings.This study presents the first experiment to propose a methodology that can help the decision-makers confirm the warningbased on the probability of the detected movement by using machine learning classification models. For this, in the firstexperiment, a laser engraving machine device was modified to simulate deformations. A control unit will be designed basedon open-source software, Python libraries are implemented, and the G programming language used to control the devicemotions. All this research will be the background on which the early warning service will be developed.

Published: October 2021

Potential civil applications of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), commonly known as drones, have risen steeply duringthe last decade, mainly due to their versatility and capability of spatial data gathering. Nonetheless, real use of UAS isquite restricted nowadays, primarily due to safety and regulatory constraints. This multidisciplinary project aims to performspecific safety assessments using the SORA methodology adopted by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) anddevelop documentation and procedures for operators to follow, complying with all required safety and regulatoryrequirements. As a result, DEURPAS-UPV is the first Spanish drone operator belonging to a university to be authorizedby Spanish civil aviation agency (AESA-Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea), to perform drone flights in urban areas, incontrolled airspace and during the night. In addition, DEURPAS-UPV has performed the first authorized experimentaltransport operations using drones in Spain. The results from safety assessment and designed procedures have beensuccessfully applied to the operation of Safety and Emergency service providers, such as Valencia Local Police Corps andthe Valencian Emergency and Safety Response Agency (AVSRE - Agencia Valenciana de Seguridad y Respuesta a lasEmergencias). Overall, this project has served as an enabler for more complex and safer UAS operations, from theoperator’s point of view, which will help break the barriers related to the use of these aircraft, with huge potential ingeomatics applications.

Objectives: We aimed to determine epidemiological risk factors associated with acquiring severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients requiring hospitalization. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted using a questionnaire comprised of six closed-ended questions to identify potential risk factors for severe COVID-19. Using COVID-19 associated illnesses and complications (pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, need for mechanical ventilation, acute kidney failure, cardiac failure, and thromboembolic events), we derived an index variable to measure the severity of COVID-19 in patients. Results: We included 143 adult patients with confirmed COVID-19 of whom 62.2% (n = 89) were male and 37.8% (n = 54) were female. The average age of the cohort was 50.6±16.5 years. Our study found that being a female, working at the health care facility, being a healthcare worker, attending a mass gathering within the last 14 days, attending a gathering with 10 persons or less, and being admitted to a hospital were associated with increased risk of developing severe COVID-19. The only risk factor associated with severe COVID-19 was working at a health care facility (odds ratio = 33.42, p =0.029). Conclusions: Intervention directed to control risk factors associated with acquiring severe COVID-19 should be a core priority for all countries, especially among high-risk occupations and workplaces, including working at a health care facility. A risk-based approach to prioritize vaccination among these high-risk individuals should be supported to strengthen the implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions.

Introdução: A Hanseníase é uma doença infecciosa causada pela bactéria Mycobacterium leprae que acomete principalmente a pele e nervos periféricos. Ademais, a transmissão desse bacilo ocorre através do aparelho respiratório superior por meio de secreções nasais e de gotículas, no entanto, cerca de 5% dos indivíduos expostos são acometidos, por fatores genéticos. Outrossim, essa patologia caracteriza-se pelo comprometimento de áreas da pele com manchas avermelhadas ou brancas, perda da sensibilidade, dor e tato. Além disso, sabe-se que o Brasil é considerado o país com maior incidência da doença no mundo. Objetivo: Devido ao elevado número de casos por habitante, faz-se necessário mais estudos que esclareçam os mecanismos imunológicos e a padronização dessa patologia. Dessa forma, foi levantado o seguinte questionamento: “Como ocorrem os fatores imunológicos de patogenicidade da Hanseníase? ”. Metodologia: A pesquisa consiste em uma revisão de literatura retrospectiva, com o objetivo de elucidar os aspectos imunológicos envolvidos na patogenicidade da Hanseníase. Para tanto, utilizou-se a base de dados Pubmed, Medline e SciELO. Resultados: A partir desse estudo foi possível observar que os macrófagos exercem papel fundamental na patogenicidade do parasita, uma vez que são os principais hospedeiros dos bacilos. A penetração nos macrófagos constitui um importante mecanismo de ação, já que o Mycobacterium leprae induz um quadro de escassez de linfócitos buscando evitar uma resposta imunológica acentuada, favorecendo assim, sua disseminação. Sob esse viés, em situações em que os macrófagos estão repletos de bacilos há desenvolvimento do quadro clínico mais grave da doença, a forma virchowiana. Conclusão: Por meio desse estudo, notou-se que os fatores imunológicos estão relacionados a patogenicidade da doença influenciando tanto no agravamento da forma clínica quanto ao não desenvolvimento da patologia. Haja vista que uma resposta imune efetiva em combinação com a baixa virulência do Mycobacterium leprae está associada à resistência para o surgimento da Hanseníase.

Introdução: A Doença de Chagas (DC) é uma infecção parasitária, causada pelo protozoário Trypanossoma cruzi, transmitida pelo repasto sanguíneo da fêmea hematófaga dos triatomíneos. Essa patologia possui aspectos epidemiológicos preponderantes em indivíduos em situação de vulnerabilidade social, sendo recorrente no continente americano e com maior prevalência em pessoas de 30 a 60 anos. Nesse contexto, uma vez infectados, estes indivíduos manifestam enfartamento ganglionar, hepatoesplenomegalia, astenia, miocardite aguda e cardiopatia chagásica crônica. Objetivos: Devido à elevada prevalência da Doença de Chagas como uma patologia endêmica no Brasil, faz-se necessário novas abordagens efetivas no que tange ao tratamento com fármacos eficientes e acessíveis. Metodologia: O estudo consiste em uma revisão de literatura com o intuito de elucidar a importância do desenvolvimento de políticas públicas de saúde para enfrentar os desafios no tratamento dos pacientes chagásicos por meio de novas estratégias terapêuticas. Para tanto, utilizou-se as bases de dados SciELO, PubMed e Medline. Resultados: A partir dos estudos, foi possível observar que existe uma dificuldade não só no acesso por parte da população ao tratamento com drogas mais sensíveis à eliminação do parasita, como também no fornecimento de drogas com menos efeitos colaterais, visto que estes são responsáveis por uma taxa entre 15% e 20% de descontinuidade terapêutica. Além disso, por ser negligenciada, a DC torna-se uma doença “invisível”, já que, não há investimentos adequados em medidas de combate e prevenção por parte das autoridades. Conclusão: Em síntese, torna-se evidente a necessidade de mais investimentos no campo técnico-científico para a elaboração de estudos que esclareçam os mecanismos de ação da infecção parasitária e de novas abordagens terapêuticas, com o objetivo de desenvolver fármacos mais específicos e eficazes. Ademais, é imprescindível traçar novas estratégias de educação em saúde com o intuito de capacitar os profissionais da área e de instruir a população em relação aos riscos consoante ao processo saúde-doença, consequentemente, proporcionar melhoria na qualidade de vida.

Технология власти и восприятие сообщества: вопрос о границах безопасности
Authors: Куркевич А.
Published: October 2021

Сообщество, его восприятие и понимание составляют один из элементов или один из аспектов формирования общества. Фундаментом создания сообщества как такового является процесс установления в его основе широко понимаемой безопасности. Границы безопасности, ее объем и смысловое содержание определяют границы сообщества. Изменения в этой сфере являются своего рода смысловой революцией, следствием которой может быть трансформация понимания сообщества как такового. Эта особая «революция» заключается в мышлении о власти и ее восприятии. Власть в современной действительности перестает легитимировать правителя, а вместе с ним и правление и превращается в инструмент управления. Таким образом, как указывает Фуко, возникает современное общество со специфической технологией и структурами власти – «общество, основанное на безопасности», границы которого определяются внутренней динамикой социального бытия и свободой его отдельных членов.
Exploring lived experiences of Gauteng based military pre-hospital emergency care providers during external deployment
Authors:   , Khoza Tshikani Lewis
Published: October 2021

Introduction The South African Military Health Service (SAMHS) provides multi-disciplinary health care, including emergency medical care (EMC), to the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). Post 1994, the SAMHS pre-hospital emergency care providers (PECPs), in support of SANDF, have been deployed in various external operations and have gained a wealth of combat EMC experience. The challenges experienced during deployment are reported using formal military reports which often do not address the in-depth experiences of individual PECPs during service delivery. Aim of the study This study aimed to explore and describe the lived experiences of Gauteng based military PECPs when providing EMC during external deployment. Objectives The study’s objective was to describe the experiences of PECPs working at SAMHS in Gauteng during external deployment. Methodology The study was conducted using a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research design guided by a phenomenological approach. Eighteen (18) participants, who had been deployed, were recruited from a study population consisting of 276 military PECPs based at four SAMHS units in Gauteng using a purposive random sampling method. Semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews were conducted and subsequently analysed using thematic analysis. Results Five themes emerged from the study, namely, the organisational culture of the SAMHS; political situation during external deployment; resources; human resources and safety. The sub-themes that emerged included the challenges reported in formal military reports, tactical decisions that may affect healthcare, harsh environments, political will of the host country, civilian hostility, gaps in what the mandate authorises, prolonged casualty evacuation times, limited resources, unique casualty transportation, mental stress, lack of trauma care experience, task overload, training expectations and inadequate guarantee of safety. Conclusion The findings of this study indicated that the Gauteng based military PECPs interact well and receive a high degree of group support from their co-workers. This decreases the morbidity and mortality of their patients during external deployment. However, they also reported feelings of anger and frustration because of unresolved challenges arising from previous deployments, inappropriate casualty transportation and inadequate leadership. They further reported that the limited transportation and the political situation in the host country during deployment contributed to both stress and feeling unsafe. The findings also indicated a low rate of service delivery by military PECPs which negatively affects the maintenance of human resources and which may, thereafter, adversely affect the success rates of external missions conducted by the SAMHS and the SANDF
