EL ACCESO A LA JUSTICIA EN MATERIA AMBIENTAL EN LA JURISPRUDENCIA DEL TRIBUNAL DE JUSTICIA DE LA UNIÓN EUROPEA
Authors: EMBID IRUJO ANTONIO
Published: May 2021

El acceso a la justicia es parte esencial del derecho al medio ambiente y, en general, de la protección ambiental. El Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea juega un papel relevante en la protección ambiental y lo mismo sucede en la jurisprudencia sobre el acceso a la justicia. En particular su labor se desarrolla para ampliar la legitimación, interpretando de forma favorable a la misma normativa europea y el Convenio de Aarhus también ratificado por Europa. Igualmente existen decisiones relevantes para impedir un coste excesivo de los procedimientos administrativos y judiciales.

Justizia eskuratzeko aukera ingurumenerako eskubidearen funtsezko alderdia da, eta, oro har, ingurumen-babesarena. Europar Batasuneko Justizia Auzitegiak paper oso garrantzitsua du ingurumenaren zaintzan, eta berdin gertatzen da justizia eskuratzeko aukeraren gaineko jurisprudentziarekin ere. Bereziki, legitimazioa zabaltzeko lan egiten du, hori Europako araudiarentzat eta Europak ere berretsi duen Aarhus Hitzarmenarentzat mesedegarri den moduan interpretatuz. Era berean, prozedura administratiboek eta judizialek gehiegizko gasturik ez eragiteko erabaki garrantzitsuak ere badaude.

Access to justice is a key element of the right to environment and in general of the enviromental protection. The European Court of Justice of the European Union plays a relevant role in the enviromental protection and the same applies to its case law regarding access to justice. Particularly, its work is carried out in order to broaden the locus standi by interpreting the same European normative and the Aahrus convention also ratified by Europe more favaourably. Likewise, there exist relevant rulings to prevent an excesive cost of administrative and judicial procedures.

Las actividades de riesgo en la montaña y en los diferentes espacios naturales
que nos rodean han adquirido en las últimas décadas un creciente protagonismo en
nuestras sociedades. Con ello, paulatinamente, el ordenamiento jurídico en su conjunto y
la jurisprudencia interna y comparada han desarrollado un cierto y diverso «corpus» jurídico
de regulación en una materia en la que el riesgo, en distintas magnitudes, resulta palpable
tanto para los guías profesionales, para el deportista ocasional, así como para terceros no
necesariamente familiarizados con este tipo de actividades.

Azken hamarkadetan, gure inguruko mendietan eta espazio naturaletan
egiten diren jarduera arriskutsuek gero eta protagonismo handiagoa hartu dute. Hala,

nolabaiteko eta askotariko «corpus» juridikoa osatu dute, gidari profesionalentzat, noizbehinkako
kirolariarentzat eta jarduerak ezagutzen dituzten edo ezagutzen ez dituzten hirugarrenentzat
ageriko arriskua duen gai bati buruz.

Risky activities in the mountain and in different natural spaces around
us have developed a growing interest. Consequently the legal order in general and the
national and comparative case law have gradually developed a certain and varying legal
«corpus» of regulation in an area where risk, of different magnitudes, is obvious both
for professional guides and for casual sportsmen just like for third parties who are not
necessarily used to this type of activities.

Pharmacogenetic tests in Belgian care: (how) do we get started?

Personalized medicine attempts to take all the information about an individual into account, and this also includes characteristics that differ from the presumed ‘average patient’. This approach includes pharmacogenetics, where the influence of genetic variation in various biomolecules on drug response is studied.

By performing preemptive pharmacogenetic testing, drug therapies can be optimized, and serious side effects can be avoided. In order to implement pharmacogenetic testing in practice, some hurdles still need to be overcome. For example, scientific information needs to be translated into practical clinical guidelines that are applicable in the local context and reimbursement issues also need to be resolved.

In this paper, a current list of gene-drug interactions is presented that could be prioritized during the implementation process in Belgium. The list only contains clinically relevant interactions for which there is sufficient scientific evidence. In addition, a tool is described that takes into account the drug consumption in a specific healthcare environment, to prioritize the most interesting gene-drug interactions.

International implementation initiatives show that the obstacles are surmountable. It is therefore time to start a dialogue on accelerating the implementation of pharmacogenetic testing in Belgium. We hope that this prioritized list, together with a discussion of some hurdles that need to be overcome, can inform this debate.

Valoración de diferentes fuentes de azúcares utilizados en la alimentación artificial de las abejas (A. mellifera)
Authors: Franco Olivares Víctor Hugo , González Echazarreta Carlos Manuel , Hernández Ayala Enrique Guillermo
Published: May 2021

Las abejas necesitan un amplio rango de elementos alimenticios para satisfacer sus requerimientos nutricionales que aseguren su crecimiento y desarrollo. En la alimentación artificial, son utilizados una serie de productos para preparar las soluciones azucaradas (jarabe); siendo los más comunes el azúcar de caña, los jarabes de alta fructosa y la glucosa comercial. El objetivo de este trabajo, fue evaluar el impacto de tres fuentes de azúcares utilizados en la alimentación artificial de las abejas; su efecto sobre el incremento de peso (IP) de las colonias, los patrones de postura (PP) de las reinas (cantidad de cría producida y número de panales con cría), y la producción de miel (PM), así como la respuesta en la productividad apícola. El estudio de campo se llevó a cabo en el apiario experimental de la Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes. Se formaron cuatro grupos de cinco colonias (un grupo control y tres grupos experimentales); a cada grupo experimental se les proporcionó una solución azucarada estandarizada (55° brix), utilizando ingredientes y proporciones diferentes. Para el análisis estadístico se empleo un diseño completamente al azar. El estudio no mostró diferencias significativas entre los grupos en tratamiento para las variables analizadas (IP, PP y PM), pero sí con respecto al grupo control donde se observaron resultados inferiores, por lo tanto, el estudio sugiere la conveniencia de alimentar a las colmenas ya que se observaron resultados superiores entre las colmenas tratadas con respecto a las del grupo control donde hubo colonias que no lograron un adecuado desarrollo.

Eskatologien i Landstads salmer
Authors: Sjaastad Egil
Published: May 2021

In a Christian burial, the pastor reads from Scripture about the Resurrection. After the burial, Christians often say: “Now he / she has reached the heavenly glory.” Is that a contradiction? In 2020, we celebrated one of the most significant hymn books in The Church of Norway, published in 1870. The editor, Magnus Brostrup Landstad, wrote many of the hymns himself. This article is a study of the eschatology in these hymns, with an emphasis on how Landstad combined the two motives.
GEOHISTÓRIA DO PLANEJAMENTO NACIONAL BRASILEIRO: NARRATIVAS E REFLEXÕES
Authors: Melo Yuri Victor
Published: May 2021

Investiga-se aqui a geohistória do planejamento estatal brasileiro, pormenorizando suas diferentes concepções teórico-práticas, tendências e reverberações socioespaciais que orientaram os processos e planificações executivos governamentais. A pesquisa estruturou-se a partir da revisão bibliográfica temática de artigos, sites, teses e livros correlatos, comparando-se espaço-temporalmente linhas narrativas e tendências geohistóricas, alicerçadas na cronologia da política pública federal, especialmente a nível nacional. Evidenciou-se a ausência de uma concepção padrão que oriente a elaboração das várias planificações nacionais, patenteando a inexistência de sólidos projetos de Estado no Brasil. Diversas propostas de planejamento brasileiro se mostraram pouco eficazes, desiguais e custosas, além de consideradas em processo recente e dialético de maturação. Espera-se ter evidenciado a importância do caráter sociopolítico e territorial para a feitoria de pósteros planos nacionais mais justos e democráticos.

Imaging is an essential complement to the clinical and laboratory examination for the diagnosis and monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). New imaging techniques such as MRI and ultrasonography have better sensitivity than a clinical examination or conventional radiography in the detection of synovitis and erosions. When conventional radiographs appear normal and if diagnostic doubt persists, it is recommended to look for possible erosions by more sensitive tools such as Doppler ultrasound or MRI. Given the difficulties of access, MRI is not recommended as first-line imaging test. Ultrasound remains an easy tool to use, inexpensive and more convenient tool than MRI.

Remission of low disease activity has become the main goal in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), thanks to immunosuppressants but more importantly to a new emerging drug called biologics. Biologics used in RA have proved their efficacy on symptoms as well as radiographic progression, and they have been integrated into the recommendations for the management of RA. TNF alpha inhibitors with their five different molecules are the most prescribed bDMARDs in the world since their approval during the 1990s. Since then, more molecules were made available, targeting other compounds of the rheumatoid inflammation: IL1 (Anakinra), CD20 B cells (Rituximab), costimulation molecules of T cells (Abatacept), IL6 (Tocilizumab) and more recently small molecule inhibitors (Janus kinases), Tofacitinib.
PEDAGOGINĖS PRAKTIKOS GERINIMAS: KAI KURIE ASPEKTAI [IMPROVEMENT OF PEDAGOGICAL INTERNSHIP: SOME ASPECTS]
Authors: Lamanauskas Vincentas
Published: May 2021

Future teacher preparation remains a meaningful field of every country and Lithuania as well. Pedagogical internship, undoubtedly, remains a very significant element of pedagogical study structure and process. Competence, practical experience acquisition, personal improvement and all-round knowledge of educational institution are considered the most important advantages of the internship. This is not only a certain future teacher’s self-examination in a real educational environment, but also a proper way to improve. On the other hand, internship organisation is not appropriate enough. A few very important things are obvious: a short pedagogical internship time, coherence with the studies at university, and not sufficiently purposefully defined internship activities (content aspect). Mentors’ work should be improved; however, this is not treated as a very important drawback. Also, two improvement spheres have been exposed: internship content/programme improvement (to concretise, optimise, and more clearly regulate the activities) and strengthening interaction effectiveness between university and basic internship schools. Pedagogical internship effectiveness (from the point of view of pedagogical ability consolidation, improvement) remains undoubted. On the other hand, certain requirements should be raised for the institution, in which students would like and could perform pedagogical internship. Educational institution’s democracy and openness, technological supply, ecological friendliness/suitability are considered the most essential requirements. The existing pedagogical internship model in Lithuania has to be improved in two main directions – process (internship length increasing, guaranteeing the acquaintance with the variety of pedagogical institutions, interaction with the internship leaders and mentors improvement) and content (activity optimisation, innovativeness, variety increase) improvement. Key words: qualitative research, pedagogical internship, pre-service teachers, university students.

Non-formal education is a promising form of education, which can effectively improve competencies of young people acquired during their studies in schools of higher education. Ethnic culture gains special significance in perceiving our own identity, becoming aware of the national values of other cultures in the context of the globalizing world.
The context of this problem exposes questions for the research: how much ethno-cultural music education is important in young people’s life? What motives determine young people’s decision to participate in ethno-cultural music ensemble of non-formal education? What aspects of activities in ethno-cultural musical ensembles emphasize the non-formal education teachers?
The aim of the research: to reveal the experience in non-formal ethno-cultural music education accumulated by higher education schools in the neighbouring country – Poland, connected to Lithuania by cultural and historical links.
Methods of collecting the research data:
The qualitative research was conducted in Wroclaw (Poland) in 2015. A survey (using open-ended type questions) was employed to gather diagnostic information, which was presented in the Polish language. Students (11 informants) who participated in this research provided their written opinions and teachers of non-formal education (2 informants) were interviewed by the researchers. The obtained data were analysed using qualitative content analysis: on the basis of the distinguished keywords, categories were determined, the content of the categories was divided into subcategories, which were further interpreted.
Key words: ethno-cultural education, music education, non-formal education, ethnic identity, young people’s and adult education.

European Union project “Provision of schools with nature and technology science devices is introduced and information is provided about the Project internet café (http://www.vedlys.smm.lt/), which already contains activity descriptions, students’ activity sheet samples and other. Today, it is very little to know - about, today one needs to know - why, to know – how, to know – who, to know – when. Having such a situation in schools, one needs not only teachers working in a different way, but also different educational environments and the devices helping to find “different” knowledge are also necessary.

Authors: Ansari Fatima , Shaikh Maviya , Ansari Madya , Shaikh Sameer
Published: May 2021

Increasing numbers of crime cases over the years in Mumbai have caused concerns on the safety of citizens living in Mumbai City. There are some areas which can be called as a crime hotspot and the citizens can be roaming in such areas with no idea about how much danger they are in. To curb this problem there should be a solution feasible and accessible to each person. The proposed system may serve as a crime deterrent to increase security that enables the user to be notified in various ways and may transform their mobile devices into smart personal emergency phones. The proposed system gives valuable information on crime prone areas in a densely populated city. The proposed project can be summarized as a safety app for citizens of Mumbai, or tourists travelling from other states or countries. The project can assist these users by providing Risk alert notification, Nearby police stations, Nearby Hospitals, Emergency panic button and Emergency helpline contact numbers. With the help of these features it makes it easy for the citizens and tourists to be aware of any danger they might be in.

This system proposes a camera-based assistive text reading framework to help blind persons ad text labels and product packaging from hand-held objects in their daily lives. To isolate the object from cluttered backgrounds or other surrounding objects in the camera view, we rest propose an ancient and active motion-based method to dine a Region Of Interest (ROI) in the video by asking the user to shake the object. In the extracted ROI, text localization and recognition are conducted to acquire text information. To automatically localize the text regions from the object ROI, we propose a novel text localization algorithm by learning gradient features of stroke orientations and distributions of edge pixels in an Ad boost model. Text characters in the localized text regions are then binaries and recognized by the shelf Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software.

Impact of watch and wait procedure after endoscopic detorsion for sigmoid volvulus in high risk dementia patients
Authors: Ag Onur , Bozcan Yusuf , Dincer Mürşit
Published: May 2021

Introduction

Volvulus is defined as an acute bowel dilatation, which must be treated after the diagnosis in a short time, which otherwise can cause necrosis and perforation of the bowel. Chronic constipation and neurological diseases are the most common causes in some countries. In this study, patients with sigmoid volvulus who were treated and followed up were examined, the association of it with neurological diseases was investigated, and the demographic characteristics of the patients, treatment approaches, and results were presented.

Material and methods

Patients who underwent colonic volvulus with dementia between January 2010 and August 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The demographic characteristics and histopathological diagnosis of the patients were recorded. Differences in treatment modalities and results of patients with volvulus were statistically analyzed.

Results

Seventy-eight patients who had sigmoid volvulus and dementia were included the study. The median age was 82.0 years and males represented 71.8% of the patients. All the patients had abdominal pain, while the other common symptoms were vomiting, abdominal distension and constipation. The complication rate was statistically significantly higher in surgical treatment than endoscopic procedures and spontaneously detorsioned (p = 0.011). The median length of stay was statistically significantly different in the surgery group, endoscopic procedure group and spontaneously detorsioned group (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

The prevalence of volvulus is high in individuals with neurological disease. Successful results were obtained with non-surgical follow-up after endoscopic detorsion in the selected patient group in the results of this study, and mortality and morbidity were at lower rates than surgery.
Validation of the Parental Responsiveness Scale
Authors: Anikiej-Wiczenbach Paulina , Kaźmierczak Maria
Published: May 2021

Background

Parental responsiveness is a parent’s predisposition to react to their child’s verbal and non-verbal cues promptly and adequately. There is no self-report scale that measures this type of behavior. The aim of this study was to construct a valid and useful scale to measure this construct as subjectively reported by parents of young children.

Participants and procedure

Two hundred and fifty parents (including 186 mothers) of young children aged from 1 to 18 months (Mage = 8.60, SDage = 4.06) took part in the study. To confirm the external validity of the tool, participants filled in the following question-naires: the Parental Responsiveness Scale, the Empathic Sensitivity Scale, and the Experience in Close Relationships-Revised Scale – short version.

Results

The confirmatory analysis verified the one-dimensional structure and that the model has a good fit. Moreover, the results of external validation indicated satisfactory correlations between parental responsiveness and empathic concern (r = .30, p < .01), perspective-taking (r = .31, p < .01), and avoidance (r = .23, p < .01) in relationships.

Conclusions

The Parental Responsiveness Scale is valid and reliable. This scale could be useful in research on family and child development, and on individual differences between parents, but can also be of use in practice.
The effectiveness of tensioning neural mobilization of brachial plexus in patients with chronic cervical radiculopathy: a randomized clinical trial
Authors: Omer Ibrahim Asmaa , Abdelazeem Fayaz Nadia , Hazim Abdelazeem Ahmed , Abdelaty Hassan Karima
Published: May 2021

Introduction

Tensioning neural mobilization (NM) is accomplished through increasing the distance between nerve bed ends via elongation. NM techniques have different biomechanical effects on the nervous system. Evidence for their use in treating certain upper-quarter conditions like cervicobrachial pain is limited. The study was to determine tensioning NM efficacy on unilateral chronic cervical radiculopathy regarding mechanosensitivity of the affected nerve roots and intensity of neck and arm pain.

Methods

Forty participants with chronic unilateral cervical radiculopathy were randomly assigned to group A (n = 20), receiving traditional physical therapy (manual traction and infrared irradiation), and group B (n = 20), receiving traditional physical therapy in addition to tensioning NM of brachial plexus. Mechanosensitivity of the affected brachial nerve roots and intensity of neck and arm pain were evaluated at baseline and after a 3-week program with the upper limb tension test-1 and visual analogue scale. The normal (Z) test, paired and unpaired t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Mann-Whitney) were used in data analysis.

Results

There were significant within-group differences in both groups regarding mechanosensitivity and pain intensity (mechanosensitivity: p = 0.001 for group A, p = 0.001 for group B; pain: p < 0.01 for group A, p < 0.01 for group B). There was no statistically significant between-group difference regarding mechanosensitivity (p = 0.07) or pain intensity (p = 0.838).

Conclusions

The addition of tensioning NM to traditional physical therapy had no significant benefits, although both groups showed decreased post-treatment mechanosensitivity and pain intensity.

Artificial Intelligence and automation is the future of the world, and with continuous reduction in human effort, The project aims to develop a drone that is controlled entirely by brain waves, based on Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). This interface is possible using EEG. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a diagnostic test and monitoring method used to record electrical activities in the brain. The EEG has electrodes in the form of small, metal discs that are attached to the person’s scalp, these detect the changes and abnormalities in the brain waves which are in the form of electrical signals. The received signals are passed through filters and different operations to extract suitable, operational signal features which are segregated on various parameters outlined for drone controls, are fed to the ML model which will classify the input, to be trained repeatedly to properly guide the drone. The desired feature results are delivered to the drone through Arduino. A drone controlled with brain waves is useful during search and rescue operations providing critical information from aerial points. A similar BCI application can be used in bionic prosthetics so that a person lacking a limb may be able to control a prosthetic simply using an EEG and EMG interface. There are limitless applications in human-to-machine interaction that will reduce the need for physical input.
Lung organoids: target cells for understanding respiratory diseases
Authors: Lee Jooyeon , Yang Se-Ran
Published: May 2021

Human respiratory disease research currently lacks in vitro models that recapitulate most of the physiology and architecture of the lung. Furthermore, the complex composition and structure of the lung, as well as anatomical differences between humans and mice, frequently lead to disappointing results applied in vivo. Recent advances in organoid technology include new, sophisticated in vitro culture tools that have stimulated considerable interest due to their potential ability to functionally mimic the organ rather than two-dimensional culture or animal models. Hence, pluripotent stem cell-based organoid studies are emerging as an alternative approach able to recapitulate tissue architecture with remarkable fidelity. Moreover, these biomimetic tissue models can be used to investigate the mechanisms of progression of various diseases. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are the most severe multifactorial respiratory disorders, characterized by irreversible airflow and progressive disease in elderly people. These diseases exhibit a progressive loss of alveolar type 2 epithelial (AT2) cells and accumulation of macrophages in the alveoli, leading to impaired pulmonary function. Despite recent advances in the study of COPD and IPF, effective treatments are lacking because our understanding of those diseases is hindered by their unknown mechanisms. Thus, in this review, the role of AT2 cells and macrophages is highlighted, along with their cell sources and applications for IPF and COPD modeling.

Published: May 2021

Atividades que permitem exploração de padrões e identificação de regularidades têm sido apontadas como uma possibilidade, no contexto de sala de aula, para o desenvolvimento do pensamento algébrico. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma atividade de sequências, realizada com uma turma de sétimo ano dos Anos Finais do Ensino Fundamental e trazer reflexões sobre o desenvolvimento das resoluções e das estratégias de generalizações manifestadas pelos alunos. Para isso, propõe-se a identificar e analisar as estratégias de generalização manifestadas por alunos de um sétimo ano na resolução de atividade de sequências. Este estudo, de natureza qualitativa e de cunho interpretativo, toma como fundamentação o pensamento algébrico considerado a partir de suas vertentes representar, raciocinar e resolver problemas. Nas análises, pudemos inferir que a estratégia mais utilizada pela turma para generalização foi a estratégia aditiva; além disso, parte dos alunos manifestou habilidade na utilização de simbologia algébrica para expressar regularidades encontradas na sequência, bem como capacidade de representação e raciocínio, vertentes do pensamento algébrico.

La evaluación ciudadana del tercer año de gobierno de Antonio Saca
Authors: Aguilar Jeannette
Published: May 2021

El presente artículo se concentra fundamentalmente en analizar algunos de los principales resultados que sobre el Ejecutivo arroja la encuesta de opinión pública realizada por el IUDOP en los días previos a cumplirse el tercer año de gestión de Antonio Saca. Así, se exploran algunas interpretaciones sobre datos que parecen ser paradójicos y contradictorios, pero que denotan la complejidad con la que se construyen las percepciones en la opinión pública salvadoreña, especialmente en lo referido al ámbito de la cultura política de las y los ciudadanos.

Towards real-time tracking of persons in distress phase situations using emotional physiological signals
Authors:   , Abayomi Abdultaofeek
Published: May 2021

This research work investigates physiological signals based human emotion and its incorporation in an affective system architecture for real-time tracking of persons in distress phase situations to prevent the occurrence of casualties. In a casualty situation, a mishap has already occurred leading to life, limb and valuables being in a state of peril. However, in a distress phase situation, there is a high likelihood that a tragedy is about to occur unless an immediate assistance is rendered. The distress phase situations include the spate of kidnapping, human trafficking and terrorism related crimes that could lead to casualty such as loss of lives, properties, finances and destruction of infrastructure. These situations are of global concern and worldwide phenomenon that necessitate a system that could mitigate the alarming trend of social crimes. The novel idea of deploying a combination of data and knowledge driven approaches using wearable sensor devices supported by machine learning methods could prove useful as a preventive mechanism in a distress phase situation. Such a system could be achieved through modelling human emotion recognition, including the harvesting and recognising human emotion physiological signals. Different methods have been applied in emotion recognition domain because the extraction of relevant discriminating features has been identified as an unresolved and one of the most daunting aspects of physiological signals based human emotion recognition system. In this thesis, emotion physiological signals, image processing technique and shallow learning based on radial basis function neural network were used to construct a system for real-time tracking of persons in distress phase situations. The system was tested using the Database for Emotion Analysis using Physiological Signal (DEAP) to ascertain the recognition performance that could be achieved. Emotion representations such as Arousal, Valence, Dominance and Liking have been creatively mapped to different conditions of human safety and survival state like happy phase, distress phase and casualty phase in a real-time system for tracking of persons. The constructed system can practically benefit security agencies, emergency services, rescue teams and restore confidence to both the potential victims and their family by proactively providing assistance in an emergency event of a distress phase situation. Moreover, the system would prove beneficial in stemming the tide of the identified societal crimes and tragedies by thwarting the successful progress of a distress phase situation through an application of information communication technology to address critical societal challenges. The performance of the recognition algorithmic component of the constructed system gives accuracy that outperforms the state of the art results based on deep learning techniques.
Employment practices of student library assistants in academic libraries in KwaZulu-Natal
Authors:   , Mthembu Queen Ncamisile
Published: May 2021

Employing student library assistants (SLAs) has been a time-honoured tradition of academic libraries. In the library, SLAs help to staff the circulation desk during hours when librarians are not available, to answer directional or reference questions and to carry out special projects that benefit the library in various ways (Wu 2003: 141). SLAs also benefit from working in the library, not only through financial gain, but university libraries are the best training grounds for the development of their personal and professional competencies. The purpose of the study was to compare the overall employment practices of student library assistants (SLAs) in academic libraries in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). The research project is intended to provide an understanding of the factors that affect the selection and recruitment of SLAs, their hours of work and the rate of pay. This study used the survey method as the data collection method. Two sets of questionnaires were designed for two types of respondents, namely student library assistants as well as their supervisors. The information was extracted from the questionnaires and presented in the form of graphs and tables. The study revealed that many academic libraries follow a similar pattern when selecting and recruiting student library assistants; however, issues such as duration of training provided to SLAs, and having a library guide prepared for students, tend to differ. The research findings could contribute towards assisting academic libraries in improving their service delivery and achieving their organisational mandate. Recommendations and suggestions where differences were discovered are shared.
