The Psychological issues of Parental Separation in Children
Authors: Aabbassi Bouchra
Published: July 2024

Parental separation is a risky traumatic experience for the child regardless of his age. To overcome this ordeal, the child sets up functional or adaptive mechanisms, enabling him to continue his development; on the contrary, giving rise to emotional symptoms, behavioral disorders and / or school sufferance. The expression of this suffering will depend on several factors (the age of the child, his level of development, personality and that of his parents, family background, nature of parental disagreement, the place of children in the conflict, the quality of the relationship between the parents and that of the child-parent relationships after separation ...). Today’s readings on parental separation and its psychological effects multiply and intersect to provide a more comprehensive look at this worrying phenomenon.

A Case Of Quadriceps Tendon Rupture With Osteophyte And An Avulsion Fracture Of A Patella Spur
Authors: Sasaki Hiroshi
Published: July 2024

The quadriceps tendon is a strong structure that contributes to the knee extensor mechanism. Quadriceps tendon ruptures are quite infrequent because the structural and biomechanical properties of the normal quadriceps tendon can sustain very high loads. This injury most frequently occurs among middle-aged men who have some medical histories. Here, we report the case of a woman without an underlying medical history of quadriceps tendon rupture, who had osteophytes in the superior pole of the patella and an avulsion fracture of the patella spur. These osteophytes and avulsion fractures enabled prompt diagnosis and early surgical repair using anchors. Nine months postoperatively, the patient was able to dance and run. When the knee extensor mechanism is injured, osteophytes in the superior pole of the patella may be found in degenerative quadriceps tendons, and awareness of this may be helpful in the treatment of quadriceps tendon rupture.
A Pedagogical Problem in Developing Countries: Undervaluing of Journal Club in Medical Training
Authors: Shafti Saeed Shoja
Published: July 2024

A journal club is a scholastic conference in which a group of persons discuss issued articles, providing an opportunity for a shared effort to keep up with the current writings. The emphasis of journal clubs has supposedly shifted over the years. What was once a setting in which the world's recent literature was analyzed became a setting for talking over clinical issues raised by the writings and, most recently, a setup for learning critical reading abilities to physicians or other associated authorities. Nevertheless, so far there is no generally accepted definition of journal club, even though this academic method has been around for more than a century and has evolved basically during this period. In the present paper, conceptual and applied features of journal club, especially in developing countries, is surveyed, to discuss an apparent underrating of journal club in some medical departments, which could be due to misunderstanding of new philosophies, or to talk about the necessity of modification of an academic misconduct, which could be attributable to didactic unawareness.

Discrimination of the British Universities Against International Radiographers: A Case Study
Authors: Alahmari Abdulwahab
Published: July 2024

Many British universities offer radiographic reporting programs, but these programs are designed to allow British citizens only to join those programs. Usually these programs are a part−time and those programs use the “spoon−feeding education” approach which is not the same approach that used with international students. Usually internationals allowed to join self−learning programs that make unqualified Radiographers who will not be able to pass any examination from any medical registry organization worldwide. Usually these post−graduate programs use distance learning, self−learning, no exams, no GPA, no score, and continues assessment approach. All the programs that international students can join, are non−Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) accredited programs. If these program had an accreditation, the graduates will be able to work in the United Kingdom to fill the shortage of Reporting Radiographers. Due to the discriminatory regulations by British university against international applicants, they could not join any good accredited program.

Authors: Vázquez Maikel Leyva , Ricardo Jesus Estupiñan , Smarandache Florentin
Published: July 2024

This study employed the integration of neutrosophic set theory with set-theoretic methods and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to examine intricate social phenomena. Participants' opinions and attitudes were captured using neutrosophic Likert scales, which reflected elements of truth, indeterminacy, and falsity. This proposal is illustrated in a case study facilitated a more comprehensive and subtle examination, emphasizing the significance of variables such as motivation, instructional excellence, and educational resources in achieving academic accomplishment. The results of the necessary condition analysis and set coincidence analysis indicated that motivation and teaching quality have the highest individual impact. Nevertheless, the convergence of scholarly resources, drive, and instructional excellence markedly augmented the likelihood of achieving academic success, underscoring the significance of considering multiple factors collectively. The study proposes that future research should investigate additional sets associated with neutrosophic approaches, such as plithogenic sets, and employ more intricate neutrosophic scales to better capture the complexity of data. This approach provides a comprehensive and precise viewpoint for comprehending cause-and-effect relationships in social phenomena, offering a valuable instrument for research and policy development.

The effect of industrial waste on air pollution and water pollution causes climate change
Authors: Ditia Syifa
Published: July 2024

Background: Industrial pollution refers to any type of contamination that results directly from industrial operations. The majority of the pollution on this planet is also caused by various industries. The environment is greatly impacted by this pollution. Industrial pollution can degrade soil quality, taint sources of drinking water, and emit pollutants into the atmosphere. Energy and industrial pollution are intimately intertwined. Energy can transform from one form to another, and these changes can have a variety of effects on the surrounding area and the air we breathe. The main source of pollution is combustion, which transforms the chemical energy in fossil fuels into heat, mechanical, or electrical energy. So the biggest sources of air pollution are power plants, cars, and stoves. The pollutants released are often divided into three categories: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and hydrocarbons (HC) (CO). Smog, acid rain, global warming, and climate change are mostly caused by pollutants released by the burning of fossil fuels. Future life is impacted by climate change. Deforestation, or the loss of green forest ecosystems, is one of the causes of global warming. This is because it ignores the consequences of industrial opening and changes in land use brought on by population increase. Environmental issues including air pollution and water pollution are significantly impacted by pollutants produced by the industrial sector. This research explains the effect of industrial waste on air pollution and water pollution. Methods: The research method used is a secondary method, namely research that involves the use of existing data. The sources in this study were taken from journals related to the effect of industrial waste on air pollution and water pollution which are one of the causes of climate change. Findings: At both the national and international levels, legislation and regulations have been implemented that take this environmental concern into consideration. Conclusion: The issue of climate change is related to reducing greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions at the international level, for instance in the energy sector. This is done within the framework of the United Nations, specifically the Climate Change Convention outlined in the Kyoto Protocol, which requires ratifying countries to reduce CO2 emissions to an agreed-upon target.

A Comparative Study of the Role of Constant and Logistic Recruitment Rates in Epidemiological Models
Authors: Ashezua T. T. , Isife K. I. , Oguntolu F. A. , Ibrahim Hassan
Published: July 2024

In this paper, we present three mathematical models of epidemiology. In each of the models, we present a scenario where constant and logistic recruitment rate are incorporated in each case. It was observed in Case I that, the reproduction number of the model with logistic recruitment rate is less than the reproduction number from the model with constant recruitment rate. Further, in Case II, the reproduction number from the model with both constant and logistic recruitment rates are the same. Finally, in Case III, it was  observed that the human reproduction number from the model with logistic recruitment rate is higher than the human reproduction number from the model with constant recruitment rate.

Oil-water separation is a difficult process, and many reported materials have the drawbacks of low oil absorption which limit their application. Herein, we reported nylon 6 nanofibers prepared by the electrospinning process using formic acid. The nanofibers' surface morphology, crystallinity, hydrophobicity, and sorption capacity were studied. Morphological analysis of 30 wt % nylon 6 /formic acid demonstrated uniform nanofibers that are free from beads with an average diameter varying from 30 to 90 nm. The results revealed that the contact angle of nylon 6 nanofibers is observed as 61º which refers to the nanofibers being slightly hydrophilic. The optimal preparation process was determined by 30 wt % nylon 6 /formic acid concentration, a flow rate of 0.5 ml/hr, an applied voltage of 15 kV, an immersion time of 30 min and the oil absorption capacity was 85.38 g/g. The sorption capacity of nylon 6 nanofibers is higher than some other reported adsorbents making it a promising material for water purification.

Published: July 2024

This study focused on analyzing accounting and regulatory practices related to bad debt loss management in credit unions in Ecuador. A mixed research approach was used, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Most institutions use the Expected Loss Provisioning (EPL) method and consider the use of historical data to calculate expected losses in the loan portfolio to be important. In addition, there is a trend towards comprehensive credit risk assessment, including qualitative and quantitative factors. The quality and reliability of financial information, together with regulatory compliance, are key aspects to ensure the financial stability of the COAC. These findings highlight the need for sound policies and procedures for effective credit risk management and transparent financial reporting in the Ecuadorian cooperative sector.
