How Safe Are Nepal’s Roads? A Study of Road Safety Legislation and WHO Standards
Authors: Dhungana Subigya , Magar Pramila Thapa , Dhungana Bharat Ram
Published: August 2024

Around the world, traffic accidents result in significant catastrophes. The consequences of traffic accidents go far beyond the immediate suffering of the individuals involved. This paper aims to examine the road safety legislation and WHO standards adopted in Nepal. The paper is based on secondary data and policy documents related to road safety and WHO standards in the context of Nepal. It presents Nepal’s road network, significant improvements in road safety indicators, and encouraging advancements in road safety. The study finds five major areas for improvement in road safety laws in Nepal: seat-belt regulations, helmet laws, speed laws, child restraint laws, and drinking and driving laws. The study also reveals that Nepal’s current regulatory framework needs to be improved by monitoring actual appropriate helmet fastening and standardization. There is a lack of precise BAC restrictions for drivers and insufficient speed limits under WHO recommendations. Nepal’s child restraint rules also need to be expanded to include seat belt usage in all cars and forbid children from sitting in the front seats. To close those regulatory gaps and protect Nepalese citizens’ safety on the roads, it ends by providing a strict set of recommendations, such as increased enforcement, public awareness campaigns, and changes to road design and concrete making plans. Policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders working to promote street safety measures in Nepal and abroad would find great assistance from this article, which offers a detailed examination and smart recommendations.

The objective of the study was to assess the present service delivery, financial and productivity indicators. The performance of five branch canals i.e. Branch Canal 1, Branch Canal 4, Branch Canal 6, Branch Canal 7 and Branch Canal 8 of the Khageri Irrigation System was evaluated for 2023 AD using fifteen performance indicators under water supply, financial performance and agricultural productivity categories suggested by the International Programme for Technology and Research in Irrigation and Drainage (IPTRID). 331 farmers were interviewed in respective five branch canals from head, middle, and tail portions of the command area in order to get a representative sample. The data obtained from the interview was analysed and interpreted to calculate the values of the performance indicators. It was also found that the canal capacity and scheme infrastructure was not the limiting cause of this observation according to the calculation of water delivery capacity (1.08). The irrigation service fee charged was not sufficient to pay for the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) cost according to the calculation of revenue collection performance (0.5, 50%). Land productivity in this system was found to be unsatisfactory according to the calculations of output per unit command area (13084.76 Rs/ha), ouput per unit irrigated area (13216.93 Rs/ha) and output per unit irrigation supply (1.82 Rs/m3).

Authors: TOR Mohammed Abba , GAMBO Nasamu
Published: August 2024

A comprehensive review of stakeholders’ engagement (SE) articles published in the last decade (2014-2023) was undertaken in this work. 100 SE publications were identified using the Systematic Quantitative Assessment Technique. Time distribution, geographic distribution, article type, data gathering methods, and themes discussed were all covered in the review. The data revealed that interest in SE has been at increase in the last decade, and that North America and Europe are the regions with the least amount of SE research. The ratio of conceptual to empirical SE articles was skewed toward the latter, and the most common data collection method was survey. The most striking finding was that, in order to ensure successful implementation and performance of projects, stakeholders’ engagement from conception to actual implementation and supervision of projects is not only desirable but necessary to ensure clear understanding, continuous, transparent, participatory, and more often than sustainable process.

Published: August 2024

Indigenous leafy vegetables (ILVs) are gaining popularity as a staple indigenous diet in Kenya. Most prominent farmers, however, are underestimate these vegetables despite a steadily expanding demand, as seen by a significant supply gap. ILVs costs increase faster than their exotic counterparts as demand outpaces supply, making them unaffordable for the bulk of eager consumers. The study location was Kisii County. The study is critical because it aims to gather, examine, and disseminate vital data required to achieve the Big Four agenda approved by the Kenyan Government for realizing Kenya Vision 2030. The purpose of the study was to investigate factors influencing the production of ILVs by smallholder farmers, in Kisii County, Kenya. The target population was smallholder farmers, traders, and consumers of the ILVs. These smallholder farmers, traders, and consumers of ILVs who live near 11 market centres of Kisii County made up the sampling group. Using Cochran's sample size calculation procedure for an unknown population, 349 responses comprised the study's sample size. Descriptive statistics like frequency and percentage were employed to describe the population's demographic and socioeconomic features. Inferential statistics was performed using the mean and standard deviation to examine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Data analysis involved several steps, beginning with data collection and ending with a complete presentation of the study findings. Related information was compiled during the procedure after the analysis of the data. The results indicated that ILVs benefitted smallholder farmers, traders and consumers in terms of finances and nutrition.
Enhancing Brain Tumor Classification with a Novel Three-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (3D-CNN) Fusion Model
Authors: Al-Khuzaie Maryam I Mousa , Al-Jawher Waleed A Mahmoud
Published: August 2024

Three-dimensional convolutional neural networks (3D CNNs) have been widely applied to analyze brain tumour images (BT) to understand the disease's progress better. It is well-known that training 3D-CNN is computationally expensive and has the potential of overfitting due to the small sample size available in the medical imaging field. Here, we proposed a novel 2D-3D approach by converting a 2D brain image to a 3D fused image using a gradient of the image Learnable Weighted. By the 2D-to-3D conversion, the proposed model can easily forward the fused 3D image through a pre-trained 3D model while achieving better performance over different 3D  baselines. We used VGG16 for feature extraction in the implementation as it outperformed other 3D CNN backbones. We further showed that the weights of the slices are location-dependent, and the model performance relies on the 3D-to-2D fusion view, with the best outcomes from the coronal view. With the new approach, we increased the accuracy to 0.88, compared with conventional 3D CNNs, for classifying brain tumour images. The novel 2D-3D model may have profound implications for future timely BT diagnosis in clinical settings.

Published: August 2024

Consumers are the nucleus of all marketing activities as they dictate the market mechanism. But these consumers in developing countries are victim of deprivation of their basic rights due to unawareness of their fundamental responsibilities. In this paper, we have articulated all the rights and responsibilities as per some established guidelines and assessed each of them in the context of Bangladesh. The survey result shows that most of our consumers are not aware of their rights and responsibilities, so we have recommended an integrated protection framework to preserve consumers’ rights and responsibilities.
Seasonal dynamics of cereal aphid population
Authors: Fedorenko A.
Published: August 2024

Goal. To compare the seasonal dynamics of cereal aphid abundance in the Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones during 2023 and to determine the factors that influenced it.
Methods. To assess the state of the cereal aphid population on cereal crops, we used the results of personally conducted entomological phytosanitary monitoring of crops (according to generally accepted methods) in the farms of the Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones; information from current reports from the places where field experiments were conducted directly by the forecasting laboratory, as well as other laboratories of the IPP of NAAS, which is also confirmed by the materials of decadal reports of regional plant protection stations and signalization and forecasting points of the State Inspection of Plant Protection, confirmed by information on the phytosanitary status of regional state research stations. Cereal aphid adults and larvae were counted in populations of populations (in the crop phase, the end of the tube emergence is earing).
Results. The state of cereal aphid populations on crops of cereal spiked crops in 2023 was studied, both in general in Ukraine and separately in the Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones. The dynamics of their number in farms of different natural and climatic zones was investigated, and an analysis of its peculiarities in the conditions of the year was carried out.
Conclusions. In 2023, the harmfulness of cereal aphids on cereal crops remained at the level of long-term averages. The expansion of their harmful zone and an increase in their number was noted during the earing period (milk ripeness). On winter cereal crops, phytophages prevailed in the Steppe zone. In the Forest-Steppe zone, the phytophage was more damaging to winter cereals than to spring cereals. The results of entomological monitoring in Mykolaiv region (State Enterprise «Experimental Farming «Zori nad Bugom») showed that during the accounting period the bulk of aphids were concentrated on winter wheat crops, and winter barley was damaged in small numbers. On the contrary, the surveys conducted in Kyiv region (State Enterprise «Experimental Farming «Salyvonkivske») showed that in the second half of June — the first decade of July, the number of aphids on spring barley crops was approximately twice as high as on spring wheat. As a result of the study, it was practically confirmed that the optimal temperature regime for the development of cereal aphids is 16—20°C, and the relative humidity is 60—80%.
The influence of abiotic factors on the development of caterpillars of the chestnut transient moth (Cameraria ohridella Deschka & Dimic) in laboratory conditions
Authors: Bashchenko M.
Published: August 2024

Goal. To investigate the effect of abiotic factors on the duration of development of the caterpillars of the chestnut transient moth, and the ability of the caterpillars to penetrate another leaf of bitter chestnut in laboratory conditions.
Methods. In laboratory conditions, experiments were conducted to determine the duration of development of moth caterpillars at temperatures of 15, 20, 25, 30°C, with and without illumination. Chestnut moth caterpillars of different ages were previously selected in natural conditions. In the laboratory, they were placed in thermostats according to their age (10 specimens each), and kept at the appropriate temperature until pupation. To test their ability to re-penetrate the leaves, caterpillars of different ages were removed from the primary leaf and planted on another. Artificial lighting was applied (round the clock) using 4 fluorescent lamps PHILIPS TLD18W/54-765 with a power of 18 W. The experiment was repeated 10 times. Accounting was carried out daily. Statistical processing of data was carried out according to generally accepted methods.
Results. During the experiment, it was determined that moth caterpillars are not able to re-enter another chestnut leaf. During the study of the influence of abiotic factors on the duration of the development of caterpillars, it became known that under a temperature regime of 15°C and without lighting, their survival is significantly lower than with lighting. In conditions of complete darkness, 24.4% of the pest was frightened, and with lighting — 58.8%. At the same time, the results of the experiment also showed the importance of the effect of the temperature regime on the maintenance of these insects. Thus, the greatest death of caterpillars was recorded at a temperature of 15°C, when the temperature increased to 20—25°C, this indicator gradually decreased, but when the holding temperature increased to 30°C, the death rate increased again. Thus, we came to the conclusion that it is possible to keep the chestnut moth in laboratory conditions only during the period of its seasonal activity in nature. It is at this time that it becomes possible to study it more thoroughly, and to search for ecological means to reduce the number of chestnuts.
Conclusions. Chestnut moth caterpillars are not able to re-enter another chestnut leaf, and their full development is possible only inside mines, where there are optimal conditions for this. The greatest mortality of young caterpillars in laboratory conditions was observed at storage temperatures of 15 and 30°С. The optimal temperature regime for this stage of pest development is 20—25°C. Therefore, keeping these caterpillars in laboratory conditions is effective only during the period of their seasonal activity in nature.
e-Governments in Africa

Published: August 2024

Multiple authors have come to view Africa as a victim of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR), a continent which has not been able to take part as one of the driving forces of this technological advancement. This is more so true when considering the state of the African continent during the first, second and third industrial revolutions where Africa's role had been of a more minimal nature. This assumption is however not true when considering how multiple countries in Africa have embraced and entrenched technology into the daily operations of their government institutions during the 4IR. Furthermore, it can be identified that the introduction of the 4IR has only led to an increase in the efficiency and effectiveness of African governments and their institutions in the act of service delivery. This illustrates that not only is the African continent ready for this revolution but that it has also been able to take advantage of it. This paper aims to illustrate the growing potential of digitalisation and e-government in African states. It will do this by providing an observation of the development that technology has fostered better service delivery using five African states as case studies, namely South Africa, Mauritius, Nigeria, Rwanda and Tunisia. It aims to analyse the transformations that have taken place from the periods of 2000 to 2022 whether they be an increase in the overall quality of the services provided, or a reduction in time required for the execution of those said services. The paper uses secondary sources as a mechanism to analyse the impact that the introduction of technology has had on government systems in the five African countries. The main focus will be on the ministries of home affairs, finance, education, transport and health and how the incorporation of technology into these departments and departments that are of similar interests in the other countries has assisted in the improvement of the effectiveness of service delivery of these departments.
Special Issue - Digitalisation and governance, legislative oversight, and service delivery in Africa
Authors: Ndzendze Bhaso
Published: August 2024

African governments remain seized with the permanent goal of achieving development and a better standard of living for their citizens. Government is responsible for formulating public policies that address societal issues and delivering much needed basic services such as water, sanitation, electricity and waste removal, all of which are crucial to the affirmation of human dignity and facilitating an acceptable standard of living. The delivery of basic services is also crucial to creating an enabling environment for local economic development because businesses need such services to function and continue executing economic activities in a given subnational jurisdiction. Moreover, governments can enable economic development through sound development planning, policymaking, resource allocation, implementation, and the monitoring, review and evaluation of the performance of such plans and policies vis-à-vis their goals of economic stimulation. The process of digitalisation as a product of the Third and Fourth Industrial Revolutions presents important opportunities for governments to improve the efficiency of their processes and systems and drive socio-economic change.

Black grass jelly is a popular food, used as an ingredient to mix food and drinks. Black grass jelly can also be used in medicine such as lowering internal heat, mouth ulcers, fever, stomach pain, and preventing indigestion to be useful in lowering blood pressure. Black grass jelly is sold in traditional markets, but the presentation and processing of black grass jelly often lacks hygiene or hygiene. Unhygienic storage places such as being placed in open containers result in easy exposure to dust and are easily infested with flies. Disease-causing microbes attach to unclean body skin, which then allows them to attach to food which is a way of mechanical transmission. The bacteria that often contaminate food are Escherichia coli bacteria. Some of the health problems caused by Escherichia coli bacteria include meningitis, urinary tract infections, diarrhea and sepsis. This study aims to determine the presence of Escherichia coli bacterial contamination in black grass jelly circulating in the Lubuk Pakam market, and then count the number of colonies that grow on EMBA media. The method used in this research is descriptive with the MPN test.The results of the research on black grass jelly showed the presence of Escherichia coli bacteria. It was concluded that a positive result was obtained on EMBA media contaminated with Escherichia coli bacteria characterised by the presence of metallic green colonies.

Published: August 2024

Ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT), along with the relatively well-studied ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), form the ventilator-associated lower respiratory tract inflammation (VA-LRTI ) disease group, which is undoubtedly a significant challenge for Intensive care units (ICUs) staff caring for mechanically ventilated patients daily. Recently, the topic of VAT has been increasingly addressed and researched to better understand and comprehend this disease unit. Despite its still uncertain definition, VAT is recognized as a disease entity independent of VAP, considered by many researchers to be either an intermediate stage or a risk factor for faster progression of VAP. Based on the available literature and the experience of the authors, we have selected 31 articles published between 2004 and 2023 that are both research and review papers in order to systematise the basic information and diagnosis of VAT, as well as to show the complexity of the problem, which is the issue of treatment and co-occurrence of VAT in critical patients as well as complicated by other respiratory diseases. It is hoped that this review will allow will enable medical personnel, especially those who work on a daily basis with patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, to look at VAT from a different angle and encourage further research to understand it better.

Authors: Pławecki Piotr , Rolek Agnieszka
Published: August 2024

The aim of this study is to present the management of a patient with orbitocranial penetrating injury by a large foreign body. The case described in the article was taken from the work of the Regional Specialist Hospital No. 5 in Sosnowiec. The patient was hit by a fragment broken off a lawnmower blade. The patient was transported to a district Hospital in Raciborz by the emergency medical team . After performing basic imaging diagnostics and temporary surgical management at another unit, the patient was transported to a multispecialty center for further treatment, where the surgical treatment was applied. A foreign body embedded in the craniofacial region penetrating the orbit and bordering the anterior cranial fossa constitutes a challenging case requiring the cooperation of a team composed of neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, ophthalmologists, maxillofacial surgeons. The treatment of the patient should be preceded by a thorough analysis of imaging studies.

The Katingan-Kahayan Corridor is currently one of the remaining habitats for Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii in Central Kalimantan, likely to be managed as an Essential Ecosystem Area. This area faces a high risk of deforestation in the future, as it is located outside protected or conservation zones. This study aims to project future deforestation in the Katingan-Kahayan Corridor from 2019 to 2050 and model its impact on orangutan habitat under two scenarios: (1) Business-as-Usual (BAU), and (2) implementation of an Essential Ecosystem Area (EEA). The deforestation risk model was built using the Random Forest Regression algorithm, while the orangutan habitat model was run using Maxent. The results of the deforestation projection model based on the two scenarios showed that by 2050, the Katingan Forest will become an isolated orangutan habitat with almost no connectivity to other large habitats around it. The secondary forest mosaic in the north of the Katingan Forest was likely to become highly vulnerable to deforestation and thus needs to be a conservation priority. The BAU deforestation scenario projected a decrease in the orangutan population in the Katingan-Kahayan Corridor by up to 68% by 2050, while the EEA implementation scenario can reduce the potential for population decline to 35%.

The agricultural activities in rice-farming system can have an impact on fish farming and the characteristics of bacterial community, especially pathogenic bacteria. Utilization of probiotics as environmentally friendly biotechnology products can be used to improve environmental quality and suppress the presence of pathogenic bacteria. This study aimed to select bacteria as probiotic agents from aquaculture ponds with the Rice-fish farming system. A total of 22 bacterial isolates were isolated from the water and sediment contained in the culture ponds. Based on the screening results, 15 isolates were confirmed as general non-pathogenic bacteria (Aeromonas sp.), 9 isolates had antibacterial activity against Aeromonas hyrophylla and 4 isolates showed high antibiotic sensitivity and were able to synergize. The results showed the Proteus mirabilis, Proteus penneri, Kurthia gibsonii and Bacillus cereus strains. Bacillus cereus strain LB8 has antibacterial activity that can inhibit the pathogen Aeromonas hydrophila with an inhibition zone of 8mm and has a very high sensitivity to antibiotics. These four isolates are able to work together synergistically and can be used as consortium probiotic bacterial agents to suppress the growth of pathogens.
Encontros e desencontros entre teorias, metodologias e tecnologias no curso de licenciatura em matemática
Authors: Machado Luciana Bertholdi , Mendes Iran Abreu , Souto Daise Lago Pereira
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho visa identificar encontros e desencontros entre teorias de aprendizagem, abordagens metodológicas e tecnologias (digitais ou não) adotadas por 12 professores do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática da Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso – UNEMAT, campus de Barra do Bugres. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter investigativo, tendo um questionário no Google Forms e planos de ensino como instrumentos de coletas de dados, cuja análise ocorreu pelo movimento da Indução Analítica Modificada. Mediante este movimento, foi possível notar que a maioria dos professores tem dificuldade em harmonizar os aspectos mencionados, ao que parece, pela falta de compreensão dos tipos de abordagens pertinentes, bem como recursos adequados que permitam articular teoria e prática, ou seja, há desencontros na maioria dos casos. Considerando-se a importância desta harmonia, sugere-se uma formação docente, no que compete à harmonização supracitada, seja nas semanas acadêmicas, reuniões pedagógicas e/ou em cursos de formação, principalmente em se considerando as necessidades educacionais contemporâneas.
Do czego prowadzi „fabrykowanie” harmonii? Odpowiedź na artykuł Katarzyny Szumlewicz pt. Fabrykowanie wiktymizacji. O błędach w badaniach grup szczególnie wrażliwych na przykładzie dokumentu „Sytuacja społeczna osób LGBTA w Polsce. Raport za lata 2019–2020”

Czy rzeczywiście istnieje prawo do resocjalizacji? Wprowadzenie do studenckiego projektu publikacji dotyczących tematu „prawa do resocjalizacji”
Authors: Niełaczna Maria
Published: August 2024

Przedmiotem artykułu jest po pierwsze próba odpowiedzi na pytanie: „Czy więźniowie mają prawo do rehabilitacji?” – prawo, za którym stoi roszczenie o konkretne usługi w postaci programów poprawczych lub tradycyjnych metod, jak praca i edukacja. Po drugie, próba porównania pojęć „resocjalizacja” i „rehabilitacja”, celem wyjaśnienia podobieństw i różnic. Po trzecie, artykuł wyjaśnia również, że odpowiedzi na to pytanie szukali studenci kierunku kryminologia, bazując na pięciu naukowych tekstach, a mianowicie: The Supreme Court and the Rehabilitative Ideal Chada Flansersa, Toward a Theory of Prisoners’ Rights Richarda L. Lippke, Rehabilitation as a Positive Obligation Sonji Meijer, Why dignity matters: Dignity and the right (or not) to rehabilitation from international and national perspectives Amandy Ploch, Do Criminal Offenders Have a Constitutional Right to Rehabilitation? Edgardo Rotmana oraz Inmate’s Right to Rehabilitation during Incarceration: A Critical Analysis of the United States Correctional System Sheldona Seigafo. Formułując swoją odpowiedź, studenci zidentyfikowali wspólny mianownik tego prawa – bo za takowe uznali prawo do rehabilitacji – jak godność osobista, której poszanowanie rodzi obowiązek państwa stworzenia oferty poprawczej dla więźniów celem odzyskania przez nich wolności i życia zgodnego z prawem. Po czwarte, artykuł przedstawia krótką analizę każdego z tekstów.
The subject of this article is an attempt to answer the question, „Do prisoners have a right to rehabilitation?” – a right behind which is a claim for specific services in the form of correctional programs or traditional methods, such as work and education. Second, it attempts to compare the terms rehabilitation and rehabilitation to clarify the similarities and differences. Thirdly, the article also explains that the answer to this question was sought by criminology students based on five scientific texts, namely: The Supreme Court and the Rehabilitative Ideal, Chad Flansers, Toward a Theory of Prisoners’ Rights, Richard L. Lippke, Rehabilitation as a Positive Obligation, Sonja Meijer, Why dignity matters: Dignity and the right (or not) to rehabilitation from international and national perspectives, Amanda Ploch, Do Criminal Offenders Have a Constitutional Right to Rehabilitation?, Edgardo Rotman and Inmate’s Right to Rehabilitation during Incarceration: A Critical Analysis of the United States Correctional System, Sheldon Seigafo. In formulating their response, the students identified the common core of this right – for they considered the right to rehabilitation as such – as personal dignity, respect of which gives rise to the state’s obligation to create a correctional offer for prisoners in order to regain their freedom and live a lawful life. Fourth, the article provides a brief analysis of each text.
