Women's Rights in Georgian and European Law
Authors: Songhulashvili Vakhtang
Published: August 2024

Gender and law are some of the important and relevant issues, but it is also important to understand women's rights under old Georgian legislation and compare it with contemporary Europe. The definition and assessment of women's rights occupies a special place in contemporary Georgian legislation. Georgian legal system tries to accept all the innovations offered by Western experience and to, more or less, reflect the issue in Georgian reality. The presented article discusses and evaluates women's rights and the legal sphere of Georgian legislation. On the other hand, by the authorities themselves or at their request, special legislative monuments were constantly created and written, to improve the state structure, as well as to strengthen their positions. Strong central and local government systems imply the strength of the ruling person. As for Georgia, Georgian legislative monuments can be found only from the XI century.

Published: August 2024

Papillary thyroid carcinoma is an epithelial malignancy with follicular cell differentiation and sets of defined nuclear features and appearance of an irregular solid mass. The main objective of our study is to research on the expression of miR-218-2 in the serum of patients with papillary thyroid cancer and its clinical significance. Our study involved patients with thyroid nodules were divided into a capitate cancer group (N = 100) and a benign nodule group (N =100). Lastly, 50 cases of healthy individuals were used as controls. The total sample size was 250. All cases were clinically diagnosed and underwent histopathological examinations at the Tonglu County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2023 and January 2024. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to assess the expression levels of miR-218-2 and its host gene SLIT3 in normal and cancer thyroid tissues. We found that 45% of tumour sizes were less than 1 cm with 90% of tumours did not infiltrate the glandular capsule, implying a favourable prognosis. Lastly, 85% of tumours were well differentiated with about 75% showing no metastasis while 60% of TNM stage were classified as stage I. Also, miR-218-2 and its host gene SLIT3 are significantly down-regulated in papillary thyroid carcinoma. The inhibitory effects of miR-218-2 act in synergy with its host gene SLIT3 to alter the rates of cell invasion, cell migration and cell proliferation. Our findings have clinical significance on the involvement of miR-218-2 and SLIT3. There exists a functional relationship between host genes and intronic miRNAs in the tumorigenesis of thyroid cancers.

Authors: Toritto Paolo , Cescutti Elena , Vendramin Igor , Puppato Michela , Imazio Massimo , De Carli Stefano , Vriz Olga
Published: August 2024

The authors present a case report of a 68-year-old man evaluated at the emergency department for repeated syncope, asthenia, and general malaise, suggesting heart failure in a patient with several comorbidities. At presentation, the patient was afebrile, but he had reported a low-grade fever in the previous six months. At first glance, transthoracic echocardiography was not clear, while transesophageal echocardiography revealed an echo-free image at the level of the non-coronary sinus of the aortic root, suggestive of a pseudoaneurysm, communicating with the right atrium with continuous systo-diastolic flow, compatible with the aorto-cavitary fistula between the aortic root and the RA. Echocardiographic findings were confirmed by cardiac computed tomography. The case was discussed with the heart team and was considered suitable for surgery, but the patient suddenly died just before surgery due to impairment and friability.

Authors: Hoosen Ilhaam , Breytenbach Fiona , Van der Linde Janine
Published: August 2024

Background: Healthcare transition (HCT), the process of transitioning an adolescent from paediatric- to adult-oriented care, is vital for improving the long-term health of adolescents with chronic conditions. The role of occupational therapy in HCT has not been well-researched. Effective HCT practices are necessary to ensure that adolescents have access to coordinated, optimal and uninterrupted occupational therapy services throughout this period of development.Objectives: This study describes occupational therapists’ self-perceived knowledge of HCT within the context of South African public health facilities, the HCT practices used, and the factors that promote or hinder the success of HCT within this context.Method: The study utilised a quantitative, non-experimental and descriptive cross-sectional design. Simple convenience and snowball sampling were used to recruit participants via professional databases and social media forums. An online survey was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and simple content analysis were used to analyse the information.Results: This study identifies limitations in the knowledge and practical implementation of HCT within South African occupational therapy practice. Healthcare transition is characterised by inadequate use of policies, insufficient transition preparation and poor outcome measurements.Conclusion: There is a need for the development of training programmes and practice guidelines to optimise and support HCT implementation within South African occupational therapy practice.Contribution: This study provides novel data on HCT practices utilised by occupational therapists in South African public health facilities. This study has potential use for the development of effective HCT programmes that can improve the functional outcomes of South African adolescents.
An approach to persons who are not willing to engage in behavioural change
Authors: Omole Olufemi B. , Pretorius Deidré , Von Pressentin Klaus B.
Published: August 2024

With its unique position, primary health care (PHC) can provide health promotion and prevention services, including lifestyle behavioural counselling. Unhealthy lifestyle behaviours are very prevalent among patients attending PHC, with many patients unwilling to change or in the precontemplation stage. While patients in the contemplation stage are better managed using the 5As approach of motivational interviewing counselling, those unwilling or not ready for change necessitate a different approach, such as the 5Rs of motivational interviewing (MI) counselling. The 5Rs MI approach holds promise in motivating unwilling individuals to consider embarking on the journey of behavioural change. The 5Rs approach is not a stand-alone checklist of tasks implemented in isolation but is best integrated within a theoretical behavioural change framework. Of the four health-related behavioural change theoretical frameworks that are frequently used, the transtheoretical stages of the change model are the most used. This continued professional development article provides a summary review of the literature on behavioural change theories as they apply to lifestyle health behaviour change and presents the 5Rs approach as a feasible and practical approach to manage patients who are unwilling to change or in the precontemplation stage. This offers a beacon of hope for improved patient outcomes in a PHC system saddled with high prevalence of modifiable unhealthy lifestyle behaviours.

Published: August 2024

The objective of this paper is to identify the optimum supersonic Mach number for
expansion–deflection dual-bell nozzle. The numerical analysis is carried for
expansion–deflection dual-bell nozzle (EDDBN) with different free stream
conditions. Numerical study observes that the transition pressure ratio and Mach
contours are studied through inside and outside of the nozzle. The results
proved that increasing the Mach number leads to decrease in the static pressure
as well as reduce the performance of EDDBN nozzle. The analysis was carried out
for four different Mach number, out of which Mach number 1.2 provides the
optimum results. In the present study, the influence of Mach number behavior
affects the pressure and Mach configuration inside and outside of the EDDBN
nozzle. This novel concept is used in supersonic vehicles for higher
performances. Also, it provides a way to improve the existing nozzle design
configuration.

A sample of sixty (60) primary 4 pupils’ with autism spectrum disorder was selected from public primary schools using census approach. One instrument titled “Autism Spectrum Disorder Questionnaire (ASDQ) was   used for data collection.  The reliability of the questionnaire established using Cronbach Alpha reliability method which range from   .84 to .86. The hypotheses were tested using Independent t-test for hypothesis one and One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for hypothesis two. Both were tested at .05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that gender, birth order   significantly influence pupils’ with autism spectrum disorder. It therefore concluded   that autism spectrum disorder of primary schools pupils   depend on their gender differences as well as different in birth orders.  Based on the findings and conclusion of this study, it was recommended amongst others that intervention strategies such as teaching the    pupils with   autism spectrum disorder skills for interacting with others, understanding social cues, and building relationships should be tailored accordingly since    the influence of gender and birth order on ASD vary based on individual   characteristics.
Foreign Trade And Economic Growth In Nigeria: A Cointegration Approach
Authors: N S Omang , F I Ahakiri , F P Kengne , S O Abang , P Ubi
Published: August 2024

The relationship between foreign trade and economic growth is a subject of intense debate among economic researchers and policymakers. This study analyze this relationship in Nigeria using advanced statistical techniques which is the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model bounds test. The study covers the period from 1981 to 2023 and includes pre and post-estimation diagnosis tests to ensure the accuracy of the model. The results indicate the presence of a long-run relationship among foreign trade and economic growth, as confirmed by ARDL bounds test. In the short run, there is a significant association between foreign trade and economic growth. The Granger causality test reveals a bidirectional causality between economic growth and foreign trade. Based on these findings, it is suggested that the Nigerian government needs to moderate its trade policy as the economy seems too weak to absorb the adverse shocks from external trade. Most importantly, the problem that arises from exchange rate should be tackled and put in place to offset the likely negative effects of exposing the economy to external influences.
The Threat And Risk Of Small Arms And Light Weapons Proliferation To The Security Of The Nigerian State
Authors: O Adejumo Theophilus , Victor Etim Ndum , Ofem Lawrence Okomisor , Edet Samuel
Published: August 2024

The devastation inflicted by the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II alerted the world to the threat and risk of humanity being exterminated from the planet's surface by weapons of mass destruction. As a result, numerous organizations, most notably the United Nations, regional groups, and non-state players, have attempted to assure global security. The United Nations formed the International Atomic Energy Agency on July 29, 1957, to combat the spread of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. However, since the conclusion of the Cold War, the world has come to the startling realization that the majority of injuries and deaths documented in internecine wars are caused by Small Arms and Light Weapons rather than weapons of mass devastation. Indeed, current literature demonstrates that, while some research has been conducted on the proliferation of SALWs, nothing has been done on the threat and risk of these weapons' proliferation to Nigerian security. This is the key gap that our study aims to fill. This study employs a qualitative method to data analysis, depends on secondary data sources, and is supported by an argument based on both the realist and liberal theoretical frameworks of analysis. Finally, this article suggests that, while weapons play a key role in exacerbating conflict, resulting in massive human and economic losses, the roots of such conflicts are political, economic, ethnic, and religious imbalances. Lastly, this report discovered that SALWs were never considered strategic to global security or subjected to a systematic traceable transfer process. This was true until the conclusion of the Cold War, when asymmetric conflict in the world's weaker governments threatened to split them apart.

Authors: Kankara S.S. , Samira I. , Abdullahi K.B. , Darma A.M. , Ibrahim H.Z. , Muhsina U.
Published: August 2024

Katsina State is experiencing rapid desertification, primarily caused by factors like habitat destruction from human-made disasters such  as military operations against insurgents, conversion of land for housing due to population growth, and extensive logging for fuel and  construction purposes. These factors are significantly endangering the diversity of medicinal plants in the region. In this study, an  attempt was made to document the ethnobotanical knowledge, cultural importance and vulnerability index of some highly utilized  Mimosaceae species of Katsina with a view of proposing conservation priorities. Semi-structured questionnaire method was employed to  obtain information on the cultural utilization of the species from purposively identified respondents. Results revealed that 12 Mimosoid  species are utilized for seven (7) cultural purposes (medicine, fuel, technology, fencing, ornamental, ink production and tanning). Cultural  Importance Index revealed that the species are mostly used for medicinal purpose and Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC)  revealed that Vachellia nilotica is the most widely used species for that purpose. Leaves appeared to be the most frequently used plant's organ and medications were mostly prepared as decoction while oral was the most common route of administration. Vachellia sieberiana  had the highest Vulnerability Index followed by Vachellia nilotica, Vachellia seyel and Senegalia hockii. Conservation efforts  toward protecting these species from becoming lost are strongly recommended.
Integrated geophysical and geological study of critical structural relationships influencing the occurrence of thrust systems, mega folds and strike-slip faults in southern Nigeria shield

Published: August 2024

The understanding of the structural complexity and development of the Ifewara- Zungeru strike slip fault with other associated tectonic  features, such as the Mega Oreke-Okegbo and Okemesi fold, the doubly plunging fold structures and the adjacent thrust belt is yet to be  appraised in any publication. These features extend over an area of more than 800 square km and the different aspects of such regional  intraplate strike-slip fault and associated structures are fully comprehended with Google Terrain Map and aeromagnetic data  interpretation. This study aims to elucidate the critical structural relationships and overprinting relationships influencing the occurrence  of the regional strike-slip faults, the folds and the thrust systems. The research provides detailed structural information about the mega  Oreke-Okegbo fold and the adjacent thrust duplexes. The former was simply referred to as a shear zone, while the thrust duplexes have  not been fully described in terms of nature and implication. The research proposes to produce illustrations and data compilations that  will contribute to our knowledge of these structures and the potentiality of the associated mineral resources in this area.

Authors: Djomaha E.S , Andele Bougong S.A.
Published: August 2024

The abusive use of chemical insecticides poses a threat to humans. The use of botanical insecticides in combating crop pests is now an  alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the damage caused by fall armyworms (FAW) in relation to planting dates, maize varieties,  insecticides in farmers’ fields and the effect of neem oil doses for their control in the Noun department. Neem oil at three doses (3, 5, 7 L/ ha) was compared with a synthetic insecticide, Emamectin benzoate. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block  design with five treatments replicated five times. Total number of leaves per plant, and number of leaves, whorls, and stems attacked  were recorded. Results indicated an average attack rate of 20.29 ± 1.27%. However, leaf infestation rates varied among farmers  depending on the variety used, planting date, and insecticide application. The 7 L/ha neem dose had the greatest impact on FAW,  followed by the moderate dose (5 L/ha) and then the lowest dose (3 L/ha). Leaf infestation rates at the end of the experiment were 21.69  ± 0.89%, 16.66 ± 1.60%, and 9.89 ± 1.30% for neem3, neem5, and neem7 respectively. Neem7 showed effectiveness comparable to that of  synthetic insecticide. Therefore, neem at 7 L/ha presents an alternative solution for combating FAW.

The availability of ICT facilities at SMP Negeri 3 Teluknaga is classified as good. This research recommends that schools provide a lot of training and support to teachers to improve their mastery of technology and integrate it effectively into the learning process.
A Framework for Universality in Physics, Computer Science, and Beyond
Authors: Gonda Tomáš , Reinhart Tobias , Stengele Sebastian , Coves Gemma De les
Published: August 2024

Turing machines and spin models share a notion of universality according to
which some simulate all others. Is there a theory of universality that captures
this notion? We set up a categorical framework for universality which includes
as instances universal Turing machines, universal spin models, NP completeness,
top of a preorder, denseness of a subset, and more. By identifying necessary
conditions for universality, we show that universal spin models cannot be
finite. We also characterize when universality can be distinguished from a
trivial one and use it to show that universal Turing machines are non-trivial
in this sense. Our framework allows not only to compare universalities within
each instance, but also instances themselves. We leverage a Fixed Point Theorem
inspired by a result of Lawvere to establish that universality and negation
give rise to unreachability (such as uncomputability). As such, this work sets
the basis for a unified approach to universality and invites the study of
further examples within the framework.

Small and medium companies (SMEs) are one of the most important economic elements supporting modern economies, and the Azerbaijani government has implemented measures to promote the SME sector in recent years, with the goal of reducing reliance on oil. The Republic of Azerbaijan's Small and Medium Business Development Agency, founded in 2017, is an excellent example of this strategy. The goal of this paper is to conduct a descriptive analysis of the influence of SME-friendly economic reforms on SMEs' economic performance. The article analyses the impact of SME reforms on SMEs, particularly after 2016, using data from the State Statistics Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan to study changes and trends in macroeconomic indicators of SMEs from 2006 to 2019. The results show that the reforms are having a beneficial impact, with rising trends in terms of value addition and job creation by SMEs. Despite these encouraging achievements, Azerbaijan's percentage of SMEs in GDP and employment remains low when compared to developed countries

Authors: Lianingsih Nestia , Sulistya Astrid , Aglia Arla
Published: August 2024

Healthy food is often heralded as the cornerstone of achieving and maintaining optimal health. However, this widely accepted notion does not always hold true in practice, as there are significant risks associated with the overconsumption of healthy foods or their consumption under certain conditions. This research delves into the various health risks that can stem from an otherwise healthy diet, particularly when it leads to nutritional imbalances, potential organ damage, and psychological issues such as Orthorexia Nervosa a condition characterized by an obsessive focus on healthy eating. Through an extensive review of the relevant literature, this study critically evaluates the side effects associated with diets that are considered healthy but lack balance. It also investigates the long-term consequences of adhering to popular diet trends that, without proper medical guidance, may inadvertently cause harm rather than promote health. The findings underscore the necessity of a balanced and individualized approach to diet, as well as the importance of comprehensive nutritional education to mitigate the adverse effects of dietary habits perceived as healthy.

Authors: Darmawan Dwi Indra , Mulyadi Dicky
Published: August 2024

AbstractTotal knee replacement for patients with osteoarthritis and valgus deformity remains challenging, with soft tissue balance often difficult to achieve. Most orthopedic surgeons use the medial parapatellar approach for total knee replacement. However the lateral approach descrbed in this case allows direct acces to the pathology. It is generally very difficult to close the lateral capsular and defect after valgus knee TKA, especially for severe valgus and flexion knee deformity. The creation of laterally based flap is necessary to cover the soft tissue gap resulting on the lateral aspect of the knee after valgus correction. A case report of a secondary osteoarthritis left knee joint with severe valgus deformity, flexion contracture and patella subluxation in a 25-year-old woman is presented. Lateral parapatellar approach total knee arthroplasty was performed with preservation of the infrapatellar fat pad to provides soft tissue covering on the lateral aspect of the knee after valgus correction.Keyword: lateral parapatellar approach, infapatellar fat pad preservation, total knee replacement.
