Published: July 2024

Introduction: Chest X-ray is the most frequently requested and perfonned diagnostic radiological examination in the Radiology Department for the identification of the problem in the thorax including main airways, lungs, mediastinum, heart, pleura and the chest wall. To enlist the common findings and the trend of findings in the chest radiographs in the context of Nepalese population, the present study was conducted.
Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, chest radiographs of 1274 patients from OPDS including the general OPD and GHC clinic, who had come to Radiology department of T.U. Teaching Hospital for the radiographic examination of the chest, were evaluated. The study was conducted over a period of 2 months between July and August 2013. The findings were classified under various categories and tabulated in the proforma. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software system and the results were shown in frequency, percentage, tables, bar diagrams and graphs.
Results: Among 1274 patients, 1190 (93.41%) were from general OPD and 84 (6.59%) patients were
from GHC clinic. Of these, 675 (52.98%) were males while 599 (47.02%) were females. A total of 817 (64.13%) patients had normal or negative findings while only 457 (35.87%) patients had positive findings on their radiographs. Pleural thickening or effusion was the most common finding accounting for 110 (8.63%) cases followed by pneumonitis and fibrotic changes seen in 83 (6.52%), COAD in 77 (6.04%), cardiomegaly 69 (5.42%), apparent cardiomegaly 44 (3.46%), calcification/calcified granulomas 48 (3.77%), prominent broncho-vascular markings 33 (2.59%), bronchiectasis 18 (1.42%), bony abnormality 24 (1.89%) and tuberculosis 11(0.86%). The less common findings were lymphadenopathy in 8 (0.63%) and mass lesion/opacity in 7 (0.55%) radiographs. There were findings other than the above mentioned in 30 (2.36%) radiographs.
Conclusion: Pleural thickening/effusion was the most common finding in chest radiographs of OPD patients in T.U. Teaching Hospital; followed by pneumonitis, fibrotic changes, COAD changes and cardiomegaly with the least common finding being mass/lesion and lymphadenopathy

Published: July 2024

Introduction: The fourth most abundant cation in the body and the second most prevalent intracellular cation, magnesium (Mg) is a co-factor for over 300 enzymes. Though magnesium abnormalities frequently accompany other electrolytes abnormalities, during electrolyte investigation, magnesium estimation is often overlooked. This study aims to investigate the occurrence of magnesium abnormalities in serum samples sent, for routine electrolyte measurement like sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphorus, to the biochemistry laboratory of Tribhuvan University teaching hospital.
Methods: Serum magnesium measurement was done in 799 serum samples ordered for various electrolyte estimation. Magnesium, Calcium and phosphorus present in sample was analyzed by BT 3500 machine spectrophotometrically. Sodium and potassium ions were analyzed by direct ion selective electrode method.
Results: Only 14(1.75%) samples were requested by physician for magnesium estimation out of total 799 samples sent for various electrolyte estimation. When all 799 samples were analyzed for magnesium level, magnesium abnormalities were identified in 76(9.5%), out of which hypermagnesemia was found in 22 (2.75%) and hypomagnesemia in 54 (6.76%) samples.
Conclusion: Since, significant numbers of patient's serum sample, sent for estimation of various electrolytes, are found to have magnesium abnormalities, we recommend routine measurement of this analyte along with other electrolytes.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is considered to be common disease in western countries. The prevalence of GERD is believed to be less in Asia than in Western countries. Upper GI Endoscopy is the valuable tools in the evaluation of reflux esophagitis which is a common complication of GERD. The present study aimed to determine the risk factor of Reflux Esophagitis in Nepalese with Gastroesophageal Reflux disease symptoms.
Methods: It was a cross sectional observational study conducted in the department of Gastroenterology at Tribhuvan University, Institute of Medicine. Patients were recruited as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study involved data on 166 patients with Gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms. After fulfilling the criteria of validated GERD questionnaire, patient were divided into two groups those having reflux esophagitis and Non erosive reflux disease according to the upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. Association of reflux esophagitis with different variables including patient characteristics, clinical features of GERD and endoscopic findings were tested using Chi-square test for discrete variables and continuous variables are measured as Mean SD. Multivariate analysis was performed for the association of risk factors with reflux esophagitis using logistic regression analysis. p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Among the total of 166 patients with GERD, 63.3% were female and 36.7% were male. Mean BMI of the patient was 23.47±4.59. Of the total 7.8% had history of smoking and 12% patients were alcohol consumer. 27.7% patients were found to have reflux esophagitis. There was statistically significant difference between gender of the patients between the two group (p value=0.05). There was significant association found between current smoking and reflux esophagitis (p=0.03), also, between alcohol consumer and reflux esophagitis (p=0.021) While comparing the endoscopic findings Hiatus hernia was found significantly associated with Reflux esophagitis (p=0.004), Mean BMI and presence of peptic ulcer disease was not significantly associated with Reflux esophagitis (p=0.9) and (p=0.36).
Conclusion: The frequency of Reflux esophagitis is 27.7% in our Nepalese patient. Reflux esophagitis is more common in male, predominantly in current smoker and alcoholics and those who are having hiatus hernia. Abstinence of smoking and alcohol drinking along with lifestyle modification might be important steps for prevention of Reflux esophagitis.

Transition Towards a Circular Economy: Requirements and Challenges in Iraq
Authors: Najm Wasn
Published: July 2024

Within the framework of the global trend towards diversifying the structure of the economy, it is necessary to search for alternatives other than (oil), the depleted resource that is most vulnerable to fluctuations in global markets. It is possible to benefit from the waste of factories and factories and produce new goods that create added value. Therefore, the carbon circular economy sector is considered one of the important indicators in the strategies and visions of sustainable development in Iraq for the year (2030), even though it has no real contribution to the national income at the present time due to the weakness of Environmental awareness and not giving real priority to that sector economy (CCE). The research aims to explain the reality and challenges of the circular economy in it according to global circular economy (CCE) indicators, and there are a set of requirements to ensure the sustainability of the transition towards a circular economy that must be provided. The research concluded that Iraq occupied late positions among the group of selected countries in the global ranking for the overall score of the Carbon Circular Economy (CCE) Transition Index for the years (2021-2022), as it achieved a ranking of (55) globally, as well as for the overall score of the Oil Producers Index, achieving (27 globally for the year) (2022). This is a natural result of the low contribution of the sub- and enabling indicators to the circular economy of Iraq.
Customs Lawsuit: An Analytical Study in Light of the Saudi Law
Authors: Al Sharif Sultan , Bitar Mustafa
Published: July 2024

This study aims to shed light on the Saudi legal system governing customs lawsuits in terms of their formal and substantive conditions and the judicial bodies competent to consider customs lawsuits. The study adopted an analytical approach to the provisions of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) law, related regulations, and the decisions of customs committees. The study is divided into two sections: the first discusses the initiation of customs lawsuits, and the second addresses the court competent to consider customs lawsuits. The study concluded with several findings and recommendations, the most important of which are as follows: 1. The formal conditions for initiating a customs lawsuit include submitting a written request from the Director General of Customs, the Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority (the Authority), and including sufficient data in the request. The substantive conditions include the issuance of the request by the legally authorized person and directing the request to the Public Prosecution. 2. Customs lawsuits are considered by three primary judicial committees, supervised by the Secretariat of Zakat, Tax, and Customs Committees. The decisions of the primary committees can be appealed before the Appeals Committee in Riyadh. 3. The customs committees are competent to consider customs smuggling crimes stipulated in Articles 142 and 143 of the Unified Customs Law. They also have jurisdiction over violations against the executive regulations of the mentioned system, as well as objections to collection and fine decisions covered by Articles 147 and 148 of the system. 4. The criterion governing the jurisdiction to initiate a customs lawsuit is the date of the goods' import declaration or export date. If the declaration date is before 02/09/1440 AH, the jurisdiction lies with the Authority. If the declaration is issued after 02/09/1440 AH, the jurisdiction lies with the Public Prosecution. 5. We recommend researchers and students conduct their research in Saudi customs and tax law, focusing on types of crimes and violations, their penalties, and the statute of limitations in customs and tax matters. They should consider Algerian law as a comparative law due to its recent amendments, the latest of which was in 2017.

Published: July 2024

Background: The selection program is one of the efforts that can be made to select livestock as superior breed stock. The selection program can be carried out by looking at the performance of quantitative traits in buffalo by measuring several economically valuable traits referring to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 7706.1: 2011) regarding superior young bull buffalo breeds.
Methods: The research was carried out by directly measuring the performance of quantitative characteristics of buffalo in three regencies out of nine regencies in Bali Province, Indonesia, namely: Jembrana Regency, Tabanan Regency, and Buleleng Regency. Data analysis was carried out descriptively to obtain average quantitative characteristics and calculate the magnitude of population diversity.
Results: The results obtained were that the performance of quantitative traits in male and female buffalo in Bali Province, Indonesia, was higher than the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 7706.1: 2011) regarding superior young bull buffalo breeds. The population diversity of quantitative characteristics of male buffalo aged 2-3 years old in Bali province is categorized as diverse (varied). On the other hand, male buffalo aged >3 years are in the uniform (homogeneous) category, as are female buffalo aged 2-3 years and >3 years.
Conclusion: The buffalo in the province of Bali, Indonesia, were suitable for use as a breed, and effective selection was carried out on the male buffalo population aged 2-3 years. Suggestions require efforts to increase public interest in keeping buffaloes by providing protection and appreciation to breeders who want to keep buffaloes, especially female buffaloes.
Investment in Cybersecurity Companies in Times of Political and Economic Instability
Authors: Przekota Grzegorz
Published: July 2024

The socio-economic development that has taken place in
recent years takes into account cybersecurity issues. Cybersecurity
has many different dimensions, including the economic dimension.
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has shown that modern war is not
only conventional, but also cybernetic. Earlier, the massive shift to
remote communication systems forced by COVID also increased
the demand for cybersecurity. This means that cybersecurity com-
panies receive new orders, which can have a positive impact on
their financial results. In the opinion of many experts, investing in
such companies could be a good business. The research conducted
in this article focuses on testing assumptions related to the rec-
ognition of investments in technology companies as prospective
investments. Therefore, this study examines the impact of Russia-
Ukraine war (from February 2022 to December 2024) and the COVID
pandemic (from March 2020 to February 2022) on the valuation of
cybersecurity companies. The period from January 2015 to February
2020 was used as the comparative period. The research material
consists of companies and stock indices from the American and
Polish markets. The results of the research are inconclusive. In
fact, there are some examples of companies that took advantage
of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to achieve above-average returns.
Such a business is risky, which is why these companies are achiev-
ing above-average returns with increased shares price volatility.
However, it turns out that automatically assigning a company to the
cyber or IT category does not mean that it will be a good invest-
ment in times of war or pandemic.
Micro-remediation Experiments of Acid Sulphate Soils
Authors: Imanudin Momon Sodik , Bakri  , Hermawan Agus , Afifah Della Abelya
Published: July 2024

Soils that are acid sulfuric have low productivity, because the physical and biological conditions of this land are characterized by high acidity. Based on the problem of acid sulphate soil, micro remediation research is carried out to fulfill objectives such as the formation of good and sustainable cultivation land. Acid sulphate soil was taken from at Mesuji Ogan Komering Ilir in January 2023. The method in this study was field observation by taking samples using a belgi drill at several points of the land. The study used a pot with a size of 12 cm x 15 cm which was washed 5 times to remove the acid content in the soil. The pot contains 40% soil, 40% sugarcane husk and 20% rice husk biochar. The object used in this study is the ginger plant. High levels of soil acidity can trigger the dissolution of toxic elements and increase the cause of nutrient deficiencies. Adsorption of complexes in the soil will offer sufficient nutrients for plant development if the soil is rich in soluble bases. Conversely, the soil will tend toward acid if Al and H dominate the adsorption complex. The results of this study can be concluded that micro remediation using sugarcane pulp and biochar has a very real impact. The use of sugarcane bag and biochar in this study helped reduce the initial Al of 9.97 Cmol+/kg to 1.65 Cmol+/kg in the soil and lowered the soil acidity level in the initial soil with a pH of 3.26 to a soil pH of 4.94.

Snakehead fish is one of the freshwater products that has potential in South Sumatra. Utilization of snakehead fish as a side dish and diversification product is for typical Palembang food processing. Most of these preparations used meat as a raw material, leaving waste scales, skin and bones which had the potential to be used as raw materials for collagen. One of the stages of collagen production was soaking in NaOH. The aim of this research was to examine the chemical properties of scales, skin and bones of snakehead fish after soaking in NaOH. The soaking process was carried out in 0.05M NaOH for 6 hours and the water was changed every 2 hours with a ratio of waste to NaOH solution of 1:10. The parameters analyzed included water content, ash content and protein. The results showed the proportion of scales, skin and bones of snakehead fish respectively of 6% scales, 5.7% skin and 4.20% bones. Proximate analysis tests showed levels in snakehead fish scales of 55.67%, skin by 81.15% and bones by 50.80%. The average value of ash content was in snakehead fish scales of 48.14%, skin by 9.27% and bones by 55.42%. The average value of protein content was in snakehead fish scales by 29.60%, skin by 67.59% and bones by 23.66%.

The role of non-governmental organizations in the functioning of International Human Rights protection mechanisms
Authors: Ivanytskyi Andrii
Published: July 2024

Effective protection of fundamental human rights is one of the main features of a modern democratic state governed by the rule of law. Non-governmental human rights institutions are an important component of the international human rights protection mechanism, as they operate at the local, regional, national and international levels. The relevance of the study is due to several factors, including: increased attention to human rights in the international legal system, increasing cases of human rights violations in the world, and the lack of effectiveness of national human rights mechanisms. Among other things, the Russian-Ukrainian war is of particular relevance, as the level of human rights violations in the conflict zone is extremely high. In view of this, a comprehensive study of the role of international non-governmental organisations in international human rights mechanisms is clearly relevant.
The aim of the work is defining the role of non-governmental organisations in the international human rights protection mechanism and determining the forms of participation of international non-governmental organisations in the protection of human rights at the international level.
The methodological basis of the study. In order to achieve this goal, an integrated approach is applied, which determines the use of general and special scientific research methods. In particular, the functional method was used to determine the functions of international non-governmental organisations in the field of human rights protection. The formal legal method was used to analyse the provisions of international legal acts. The systemic-structural method was used to identify the main features of the participation of international non-governmental organisations in the mechanism of human rights protection at the international level. The methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, and analogy were also used to formulate conclusions and proposals.
Results. The article examines the role of international non-governmental organisations in the international human rights mechanism. The study covers the results of the activities of international non-governmental organisations Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, International Federation for Human Rights, Human Rights First, Interights and other non- governmental organisations that draw the attention of citizens and governments around the world to human rights violations. It is noted that the activities of non-governmental organisations in addressing the issue of human rights protection are effective and have an important impact on the resolution of human rights violations. It is emphasised that the role of international non- governmental organisations is growing in the current context, as their activities have an impact on addressing human rights violations in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Control in the field of banking activity: problems, prospects of development and legal regulation
Authors: Nakonechna Alyona
Published: July 2024

The aim of the work is to study the problems of control in the field of banking. During the writing of the work, the concept, essence and content of the concept of control in the field of banking activity are studied. By working through a large number of works of scientists on this issue and using the method of comparison and analysis, ways to overcome more significant shortcomings have been identified. The most effective ways to solve the problem, which consist in the integration and differentiation of banking legislation, have been found. The process of integration of banking legislation, in our opinion, consists in carrying out high-quality work on the creation of the Banking Code of Ukraine. The mechanism for creating a banking code should include the process of systematization of banking legislation, which includes incorporation and codification. The legal regulation of banking activity in foreign countries, which is characterized by the diversity of the legal nature of the sources of banking law, a highly developed system of normative acts on banks and banking activities, the thoroughness of their legal regulation and the penetration of a foreign element into the national banking legislation, has been studied. Therefore, in connection with Ukraine’s aspiration to join the European Union, considerable attention should be paid to the legal regulation of the principles of control in the field of banking activities in the EU.
Some aspects of Combating Transnational Organized Crime
Authors: Hrankina Valentyna , Abdel Fatah Anna
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of transnational organized crime, which is a relevant and negative manifestation of public life not only in Ukraine but also in most foreign countries. Crime is a stable phenomenon and inseparable from human society, and it should be noted that organized crime is stable in its essence and structure, but variable depending on the requirements of time. At present, Ukraine is facing the emergence of a fundamentally new form of transnational organized crime, which is a crime against national security. In particular, the military-political situation in our country, which is associated with the military aggression of the Russian Federation, contributes to the intensification of the movement of weapons, explosives and other military items, as well as the recruitment of citizens to participate in illegal state activities.
The article examines the problem of combating transnational crime and suggests ways to counteract this type of crime. At the national level, combating this type of crime requires coordination of law enforcement agencies, formation of joint operational and investigative teams and think tanks. There is also a need to improve the legal framework for combating this phenomenon, which should take into account existing international standards and the implementation of the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime into Ukrainian legislation. It is determined that in the current socio-political environment, this problem is actually becoming a matter of national security of Ukraine. According to the Strategy of National Security and the Fight against Organized Crime, the search for new ways and answers to the challenges and prevention of transnational organized crime and corruption in the context of military operations, aggression and internal instability necessitates the study of an international mechanism of protection against such extremely dangerous actions. The author believes that it is advisable for Ukrainian law enforcement officers to study the experience of leading foreign organizations so that they have a real opportunity to work proactively in preventing corruption, countering terrorism and other segments of transnational organized crime.

Los negocios informales son actividades económicas que no se encuentran registradas ante las autoridades de registro empresarial, entes fiscales y reguladores, además que la gestión contable y financiera es escasa y los trabajadores usualmente no tienen un contrato formal de trabajo. El objetivo es proponer estrategias para incluir a los negocios informales de la ciudad de Cúcuta en el sistema financiero. La metodología se basa un enfoque cuantitativo y de tipo descriptivo, donde la población está conformada por los negocios informales que están ubicados en la zona centro entre las calles 6 y 10 y entre las avenidas 0 y 6. El muestreo es probabilístico y se utiliza una ecuación de población infinita porque no hay datos oficiales sobre el censo requerido, lo que da como resultado 138 personas a encuestar. El instrumento consiste en un cuestionario adaptado de la caracterización de negocios informales desarrollado por la Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá en 2018. En los resultados se presenta la caracterización de estos negocios informales según las condiciones personales y socioeconómicas, así como información sobre el tiempo en la actividad, el espacio físico donde se ubica, la propiedad sobre el local, el número de propietarios y las motivaciones para ejercer la labor. Seguidamente, se determinan los factores críticos y las variables que influyen en la inclusión financiera, lo cual se toma como marco de análisis para estructurar una propuesta que ayuda a fomentar la educación, la asesoría y la colaboración institucional, incluyendo a entidades bancarias, universidades y de fomento empresarial. Se concluye que esta problemática requiere de la adopción de un enfoque integral donde intervenga el ámbito educativo y el financiero al mismo tiempo, para garantizar que los negocios se formalicen y se mantengan en el camino del crecimiento y el cumplimiento de la normatividad vigente.

Background: The shortage of health workers is a problem in Uganda like in other developing countries. The problem of retention of health care workers affects mainly the remote areas in the developing world. All cadres are affected but it’s more often among the doctors. This has affected the health service delivery in the districts and as such control of the endemic microbial infections remains a problem in those areas left hollow by attrition effects. It is, therefore, important to identify the likely factors leading to the attrition of the health workers in order to implement strategies to attract and retain health workers in these districts. Objectives: To establish reasons for attrition of health workers in Bushenyi, Ntungamo, and Rukungiri districts as well as test the impact of attrition to control Microbial infections in the study area, in order to design appropriate strategies to attract and retain staff in the districts. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out using both qualitative and quantitative methods to collect and analyze data. A total of 160 health workers were interviewed and 9 Key Informant Interviews were conducted with the health workers who had left the districts. The Microbial infections prevalence was determined Results: Of the 160 health workers 43.8% reported having considered leaving their job in the past 6 months. The intention to leave was found to be higher among the doctors (58.9%, p = 0.005) compared to other cadres of staff. The main factors leading to the migration of health workers were poor pay (48.8%) and poor working conditions (20.1%) among all categories of health workers. Conclusions and recommendations: A significant proportion of health workers (43.8%) have intentions to leave the districts because of poor pay, unfavorable working conditions, and social factors such as lack of time for their families. Increased remuneration and improvement of the working conditions should be provided as incentives for retaining health workers.

Published: July 2024

Due to the recent advancement in technology in Healthcare Information Systems, data leakages at the data level has been on the rise. Therefore, there is need to analyze the existing data protection techniques using cryptographic algorithms in Healthcare systems at the data level. Existing data-level protection techniques that are developed to ensure data-level protection in Healthcare Information Systems lack integration of key security models and database security approaches such as enhanced cryptographic algorithms in the design and development of data protection techniques. In this study, design science research methodology was used to design and develop a cryptographic algorithm with Base64 512 bits to enhance data protection at the data level. Python programming language was used to develop a simulation program for experiment. The performance of the developed algorithm was tested in a healthcare information system. The results were compared with the existing cryptographic algorithms to evaluate encryption and decryption process, strength on brute force attack and plain text vulnerability. The results showed that the developed algorithm with Base64 and fixed length of 512 bits achieved optimal performance. In conclusion, healthcare data is very sensitive and critical thus enhanced cryptographic algorithms are necessary to reduce data leakages at the data level.
