Are Dogs Our Friends? If So, What About their Meat?
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Kim Sung-Han
Published: November 2024

Recently, there has been a growing controversy in South Korea over the consumption of dog meat. Unlike in the past, dogs are considered family members in many households, which is the reason why laws against dog meat were enacted. However, as you can imagine from the controversy, there is not a consensus on the issue of eating dog meat. Especially the argument that dogs are friends and family, which is often used by anti-dog meat advocates, is particularly controversial. In this article, I dispute the claim that dogs cannot be friends or family. However, I do not believe that the fact that a dog is a friend or family member at home is a reason to oppose dog meat, because the dogs eaten by dog meat eaters are not family members or friends at home, but non-domesticated dogs. Still, there is room to argue that we shouldn't eat dogs, and I'll make that argument later in this article.

Published: November 2024

To critically examine South Korea's cohort isolation policy, this study conducted interviews with a doctor, nurse, caregiver, and patient’s familiy member who experienced cohort isolation in long-term care facilities during the third wave of COVID-19. The analysis of their experiences, conducted through a qualitative case study approach, yielded the following findings. First, while cohort isolation was regarded as a temporary and cautious measure in other countries, in Korea, it was enforced as though it were an obligatory procedure. Second, the successful implementation of cohort isolation required substantial human and material support, which was unfortunately lacking. As a result, long-term care facilities were, in effect, sacrificed in the effort to safeguard the broader society. Third, the lack of a centralized control tower during the cohort isolation process was highlighted as a major concern. Fourth, the management following cohort isolation was also insufficient. Many suffered from physical and mental aftereffects or experienced social discrimination due to cohort isolation. Overall, Korea’s frequent use of cohort isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic was an extremely risky measure, relying on the dedication of facility workers and the sacrifices of the users.

Published: November 2024

Speaking is always regarded as a difficult task to perform by many ESL learners. Basic knowledge of vocabulary, sentence structures and pronunciation are a must to speak and respond accordingly. Therefore, this paper explores the usage of Spoken Word Poetry (SWP) as an alternative method to teach speaking skills in the ESL classroom. This study engaged a quantitative method approach to collect the data namely experimental method. The aim of this study is to identify the extent to which SWP improves students speaking skills in the ESL classroom. Ninety ESL learners of Health Sciences participated in the study. Students were placed into two groups, an experimental group and control group to test the usage of SWP in the classroom. The findings revealed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental group students receiving SWP approaches. Based on mean, the experimental group showed better score (mean = 15.36) than the control group (mean 11.42) in their post-test. It was observed as well that the experimental group had higher scores of post-test than control group in terms of vocabulary knowledge especially the usage of low frequency words. In addition, at the end of the study, it was seen that the post-test scores of the students in the experimental group were higher than the post-test scores of students in the control group even though they were almost equal before the study. Therefore, based on these findings, the current study shows that it is significant to use SWP as a new approach to teach speaking skills in the ESL classroom as its improved students’ proficiency in speaking.
D-Continuity
Authors: Zailai Mohammad
Published: November 2024

We call a map f : X → Y D-continuous if its restriction to any set of points that do not possess compact neighborhoods is continuous. We investigate this weaker version of continuity and provide examples to compare D-continuity with other types of continuity. Let f : X → Y be a D-continuous bijective map such that f(A) is locally finite, where A is the set of all points that do not possess compact neighborhoods in X. Then, we show that f|A is a homeomorphism. We also show that if X is a countably generated topological space, then any D-continuous f : X → Y  is continuous. We discuss C-normality, illustrating the relationship between this property and D-continuity. Finally, we investigate the space of all real-valued D-continuous maps of an arbitrary topological space X and obtain some results.
Unveiling of Highly Dispersive Dual-Solitons and Modulation Instability Analysis for Dual-Mode Extension of a Non-Linear Schrödinger Equation
Authors: Khalifa Abeer S. , Ahmed Hamdy M. , Badra Niveen M. , Rabie Wafaa B.
Published: November 2024

The two-mode equations are nonlinear models that describe the behavior of two-way waves moving simultaneously while being affected by confined phase velocity. This article expands a non-linear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) by constructing it as a dual-mode structure. Applying the modified extended direct algebraic method (MEDAM) yields exact and explicit solutions. The results of this investigation have significant implications for the propagation of solitons in nonlinear optics. There are multiple resulted solutions that comprise singular periodic solutions, Weierstrass elliptic doubly periodic solutions, Jacobi elliptic function (JEF), singular soliton, bright soliton, dark soliton, and rational solutions, moreover, hyperbolic wave solutions. We show our acquired traveling wave solutions’ uniqueness and significant addition to current research by contrasting them with the body of existing literature. The method’s effectiveness shows that it may be used to address a wide variety of nonlinear problems across multiple disciplines, particularly in the theory of soliton, as the studied model appears in many applications. Additionally, we display the outlines of some of these discovered solution behaviors in 3D and 2D graphs to help with comprehension. Finally, we analyze modulation instability to examine the stability of the discovered solutions.

O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar o desenvolvimento da produção de açaí no município de Igarapé-Miri, a fim de compreender as condições e transformações que levaram o município a ser conhecido como a “Capital Mundial do Açaí”. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida por meio de levantamento bibliográfico acerca dos aspectos relacionados à produção, sustentabilidade e economia e suas influências no desenvolvimento do município. Como principais resultados, constatou-se que 95% do açaí produzido no Brasil advém do estado do Pará, com destaque para o município de Igarapé-Miri, o maior produtor mundial, com 400 mil toneladas produzidas em 2018, correspondendo a 28% da produção do estado. Um aspecto importante é a organização dos agricultores e das entidades locais, facilitando a comunicação e a realização de atividades coletivas. Como principais problemáticas ambientais verificados, especialmente nas várzeas, destacam-se o desmatamento e o monocultivo. Conclui-se que a evolução da produção de açaí acarretou em desenvolvimento para a população local. Contudo, diante dos resultados, tem-se que a produção atual de açaí segue um modelo capitalista, onde busca-se por maiores rendimentos financeiros, cuja prioridade parece estar acima da consciência ambiental.

Management Overconfidence and Short Run Cumulative Abnormal Return from Mergers and Acquisitions of Listed Firms Eastern Africa Securities Markets
Authors: Wangari Kariuki Beth
Published: November 2024

This paper study operating efficiency as a driver of the impact of mergers and acquisitions on stock market returns of listed firms in Eastern Africa Securities Markets. Operating efficiency is used as the proxy for management overconfidence. A sample of thirty (30) listed firms in Eastern Africa securities markets involved in mergers and acquisitions for a period of twenty (20) years between 1996 and 2015 was used. The study was guided by Hubris theory. Cumulative abnormal return was computed using event study approach. Using cross sectional regression analysis, the study finds a negative significant relationship between operating efficiency short run cumulative abnormal return. This adds to the existing body of literature that management overconfidence attribute influences management when pursuing mergers and acquisitions deals. Consequently, managers will trust that their own valuation of a target firm, end up overpaying for target firms thereby destroying shareholder wealth. The study recommends that when evaluating target firm synergies for acquisition purposes, corporate managers should not be overconfident about their valuation; rather they should seek comparison with market.
Extend Wireless Sensor Networks Lifetime which use Cluster-Based Routing Protocol, Namely Leach
Authors: Gilbert DUSINGIZE , MUSONI Wilson
Published: November 2024

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a spatially distributed sensors that can monitor environmental and exchange that information with each other over wireless medium. Due to their energy restrictions, their limited storage capability, and positioning in hostile environments, WSNs are vulnerable to various routing attacks. Sinkhole attack is the main issue in the said wireless sensor network which permanently disable sensor node by draining nodes battery power and drop all packets and prevent it to reach the base station. Cluster-based routing protocols are developed to undertake this problem, and the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) is one of the best-known protocols of this type. It is very important to secure the communication between nodes and prevent against different attacks especially in cluster based WSN that run LEACH routing protocol. Therefore, this paper proposes an algorithm for extending the lifetime of Wireless Sensor Network which uses a clustering-based routing protocol namely LEACH for its routing operation in IPRC-Huye Campus. The proposed algorithm indicates the random election of normal nodes and then flags the dead nodes at each epoch and then increment accordingly. The cluster head(CH) election is done by calculating the ratio of optimal election probability and the modulation of rounds. The dissipated energy is now obtained based on the energy data aggregation and the distance between nodes. Above all, the simulation result is shown for the proposed algorithm which is proven to be efficient compared with the existing one, namely, LEACH, in terms of minimum computational complexity and high energy efficiency. Moreover, the algorithm was numerically analyzed using MATLAB.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between social support and work engagement among nurses, focusing on the impact of different sources of support on various aspects of work engagement.  Methods A descriptive-correlational design was employed with 120 nurse respondents from Gregorio T. Lluch Memorial Hospital (GTLMH). An adaptive survey questionnaire, the Social Support Scale and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) are used to gather the data.  Results The study finds significant positive correlations between social support from family and friends and all aspects of work engagement (vigor, dedication, and absorption) among nurses, indicating that higher social support was associated with greater work engagement. However, support from significant others shows a significant positive correlation only with vigor and absorption and does not significantly affect dedication.  Conclusion These findings underscore the importance of social support in enhancing work engagement among nurses. Healthcare administrators and policymakers should prioritize creating supportive work environments to enhance nurse’s well-being and professional commitment.

Abnormal vaginal discharge is quite a frequent complaint of women in gynecology clinic. The discharge may range from whatis called excess of normal to one which is a part of wide spectrum of ailments. Leucorrhoea is strictly defined as excessive normal vaginaldischarge. The symptom of excessive is a subjective one with individual variation, while to declare it to be normal and not an infectious one requires clinical and laboratory investigations. Leucorrhoea can often be a pointer to various gynecological conditions and hence requires evaluation and treatment. There is growing recognition that the morbidity due to excessive vaginal discharge is an important health issue among women in India. It occurs in 1-14% of all the women in the reproductive age group and is responsible for 5-10 million OPD visits per year throughout the world. The prevalence of excessive vaginal discharge in India is estimatedto be 30%. Most of the women avoid discussing the problem with a physician out of shyness and modesty that is why the treatment for it becomes a bit of challenge. Homoeopathy has answers for many gynecological conditions. Specially in treatment of cases of leucorrhoea. Homoeopathy supervenes the treatment as it does not cause any harmful side effects, is relatively cheaper than other systems of medicine as well does not produce any unwanted hormonal imbalance. Our aim is to substantiate the utility of homoeopathic Constitutional medicines in LM potency in treating Leucorrhoea through our observational study.
Street Children in Somaliland: Addressing Social Policy Gaps and Solutions
Authors: H. Yusuf Shab’an
Published: November 2024

The problem of street children in Somaliland is a manifestation of complex socio-economic, cultural, and systemic challenges that contribute to the marginalization of these vulnerable youths. This paper tries to explore the factors that drive children to the streets, such as poverty, family disintegration, and the lack of access to educational opportunities. Demographically, street children in Somaliland are predominantly male, although girls face greater risks of exploitation. The paper emphasizes the severe health and psychological risks these children endure, compounded by societal stigma that views them as delinquents rather than victims. It also discusses the national and international legal frameworks, including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), and their applicability to the situation of addressing the plight of street children. Somaliland has made some progress in creating child protection laws, but challenges persist in terms of resources and cultural attitudes. The paper makes a call for action in this regard with a multifaceted approach, involving family counseling, parent education, and community engagement, which can address the root causes and provide sustainable solutions. Such collaborations between government agencies, NGOs, and international partners are vital to improving the well-being of street children and facilitating their reintegration into society.

Current Status of Floating Net Cages Aquaculture in Sivas Province (Turkey)
Authors: Dirican Seher
Published: November 2024

Rainbow trout represents a valuable food source and also has an important share in production in the world. The climate and available water resources of Sivas province are generally suitable for aquaculture in floating net cages. This study is about aquaculture in net cages in Sivas province located in the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey. The data used in the research were obtained from the records of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. The only species cultivated in floating net cages in Sivas province, which has no sea shore, is rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). As of 2023, the capacities of the 7 enterprises that carry out rainbow trout cultivation in floating net cages in Sivas province vary between 50000 and 950000 kg/year, and the total production amount is 5250000 kg. Rainbow trout cultivation in floating net cages is still at an early stage in Sivas province and its development is uneven throughout the province. In Sivas province, intensive production is preferred in rainbow trout farms in floating net cages. A rapid increase has been recorded in rainbow trout farming in floating net cages in Sivas province, especially after 2008. The biggest factors in this increase in rainbow trout farming in floating net cages in Sivas province have been the initiation of trout farming in floating net cages in Çamlıgöze, İmranlı and Gölova dam lakes in the province. The freshwater areas in these unused dam lakes are being transformed into areas producing rainbow trout in floating net cages. These businesses are important initiatives for the benefit of Turkey and Sivas. There is both business and a great export potential. On the other hand, although there are many areas suitable for rainbow trout farming in floating net cages in Sivas province, the number of floating net cage businesses is very few. With the initiation of farming in other dam lakes suitable for rainbow trout farming in floating net cages in Sivas province, the amount of rainbow trout farming in the province will increase even more. Therefore, rainbow trout farming in floating net cages in Sivas province should be supported and encouraged more. Rainbow trout farming in floating net cages in Sivas province must be done according to the rules. If the rules are followed, rainbow trout farming in floating net cages in Sivas province will be sustainable.
Antimicrobial Resistance to Colistin in Neonatal Intensive Care Units: A Mini-review of Mechanisms, Clinical Implications, and Strategies for Mitigation

Published: November 2024

Colistin resistance poses significant concern in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) due to both intrinsic and acquired mechanisms of resistance such as mcr genes and adaptive phenotypes including biofilm formation pathways. For neonates, reduced susceptibility to colistin makes its clinical relevance severe, which leads to high mortality and morbidity, and longer hospitalization. Colistin which is one of the used antibiotics has been observed to have low efficacy against multidrug-resistant pathogens such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in NICU for infection management. Major strategies for infection control measures include, the prudent use of antibiotics and exploration for other alternatives like new molecules and bacteriophage. Future directions call for the development of new antibiotics effective against resistant strains, as the current pharmaceutical pipeline for neonates is inadequate. Further advancement in the application of rapid diagnostics could help with individualized therapies according to the resistance patterns, though the problem of cost and accessibility still arises. Long-term monitoring for Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) should be conducted to assess the effectiveness of its interventions, while policy measures should foster international cooperation and data sharing. Continued studies and policy modifications are needed to tackle colistin resistance among neonates.

Published: November 2024

This study assesses the effect of gas flaring on the sodium and potassium levels of pregnant women from the gas flare host community of Bonny Island, Rivers State, in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Serum sodium (Na) and potassium (K) levels of 60 pregnant women from Bonny Island were obtained and compared to serum sodium and potassium levels of 60 pregnant women from Idah, Kogi State, which served as the control group. Serum sodium levels averaged 138.5±3.2 mmol/L in the exposed group and 139.2±3.0 mmol/L in the control group, while serum potassium levels were 4.1±0.5 mmol/L and 4.2±0.4 mmol/L, respectively. Statistical analysis of the results indicated no significant difference between the serum sodium (p=0.45) and potassium (p=0.52) levels between the two groups, implying no significant disruption of electrolyte homeostasis in pregnant women due to gas flaring. The study, however, recognizes the potential for other health risks associated with exposure to gas flaring regardless of its findings. These results contribute to understanding the biochemical effects of environmental pollutants on maternal health and highlight the need for further research on other biochemical parameters to determine how gas flaring affects the health of pregnant women and unborn babies. This is crucial for healthcare providers and policymakers in regions affected by gas-flaring.
