An exploration into the utilisation of the biopsychosocial model by chiropractors in the eThekwini Municipality
Authors:   , Williamson Rosanne Louise
Published: November 2022

Background: The biopsychosocial (BPS) model is one of the many models of healthcare and its utilisation has been encouraged when treating and managing musculoskeletal conditions, especially neck and low back pain. Chiropractors are viewed as primary care providers, focused on the treatment and management of musculoskeletal conditions, most of which are spine related. This study aims to explore the utilisation of the biopsychosocial model by chiropractors in the eThekwini Municipality. Method: A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study was conducted, in which twelve chiropractors within the eThekwini Municipality were interviewed to explore their understanding, attitudes, utilisation and challenges when utilising the BPS model. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in English, and later transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analysed using Tesch’s method to form codes, themes and subthemes. Results: Female and male chiropractors were interviewed. They displayed knowledge of and a positive attitude towards the BPS model and its constituents. The chiropractors’ felt that chiropractic institutions should implement further practical training in the model to adequately prepare students for practice as many of the interviewees felt that addressing psychosocial factors was beyond their scope of practice and that they did not have the required skills. The most mentioned challenge was time, and how it resulted in constraints when utilising the model. This impacted them being able to implement the model effectively. Few used screening tools citing a lack of training or that they added to the time constraints. Conclusion: Chiropractors had positive attitudes towards and knew about the BPS model. They used the model in their practices to varying degrees with time and skills being the biggest challenges to effective implementation. It is recommended that chiropractic associations and training institutions provide additional practical training to teach students and practitioners how to implement the model in a clinical setting.

The pandemic Covid it had an impact on all economic sectors which had an impact on the smooth running of consumers in paying consumer financing installments, which led to consumer financing disputes. The people of South Kalimantan who live in a wetland environment have local wisdom in resolving disputes with Adat Badamai tradition. This study aims to find patterns of dispute resolution between consumers and finance companies during the covid 19 pandemic and to analyze whether local wisdom in the wetland environment, namely the Bahamian custom is reflected in the settlement of consumer financing disputes. The research method used is empirical legal research supported by library research. (library research), is prescriptive analytics, it is hoped that a comprehensive, in-depth and systematic picture will be obtained. This research was conducted in South Kalimantan Province. The results showed (1). consumer financing dispute settlement patterns prioritize settlements outside the court (non-litigation), namely by internal company settlements; use third party services; through the Consumer Dispute Resolution Body, if an amicable agreement is not reached, as a last resort, a court settlement (litigation) is taken. (2). Dispute Resolution Financing companies in South Kalimantan have implemented the customary value of Adat Badamai in the settlement of consumer financing disputes. In the Banjar community, if there is a dispute, they tend to choose to settle it peacefully, meaning that there is no need for the settlement to go to court. Adat Badamai tradition is quite effective and plays a role in creating security and peace among the disputing community members.
Landsifier v1.0: a Python library to estimate likely triggers of mapped landslides
Authors: Rana Kamal , Malik Nishant , Ozturk Ugur
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Landslide hazard models aim at mitigating landslide impact by providing probabilistic forecasting, and the accuracy of these models hinges on landslide databases for model training and testing. Landslide databases at times lack information on the underlying triggering mechanism, making these inventories almost unusable in hazard models. We developed a Python-based unique library, Landsifier, that contains three different machine-Learning frameworks for assessing the likely triggering mechanisms of individual landslides or entire inventories based on landslide geometry. Two of these methods only use the 2D landslide planforms, and the third utilizes the 3D shape of landslides relying on an underlying digital elevation model (DEM). The base method extracts geometric properties of landslide polygons as a feature space for the shallow learner – random forest (RF). An alternative method relies on landslide planform images as an input for the deep learning algorithm – convolutional neural network (CNN). The last framework extracts topological properties of 3D landslides through topological data analysis (TDA) and then feeds these properties as a feature space to the random forest classifier. We tested all three interchangeable methods on several inventories with known triggers spread over the Japanese archipelago. To demonstrate the effectiveness of developed methods, we used two testing configurations. The first configuration merges all the available data for the k-fold cross-validation, whereas the second configuration excludes one inventory during the training phase to use as the sole testing inventory.
Our geometric-feature-based method performs satisfactorily, with classification accuracies varying between 67 % and 92 %. We have introduced a more straightforward but data-intensive CNN alternative, as it inputs only landslide images without manual feature selection. CNN eases the scripting process without losing classification accuracy. Using
topological features from 3D landslides (extracted through TDA) in the RF classifier improves classification accuracy by 12 % on average. TDA also requires less training data. However, the landscape autocorrelation could easily bias TDA-based classification. Finally, we implemented the three methods on an inventory without any triggering information to showcase a real-world application.

Ética nas pesquisas em Ciências Humanas e Sociais: entre a norma e sua aplicação
Authors: Guerriero Iara Coelho Zito
Published: November 2022

Neste artigo, discute-se a importância de identificar e de respeitar as especificidades éticas das pesquisas em Ciências Humanas e Sociais, no intuito de apontar a relevância da formação ética do pesquisador e de normas adequadas para essas pesquisas. Identifica-se que a Comissão Nacional de Ética em Pesquisa (Conep) continua com a hegemonia positivista, representada pela ampla maioria biomédica, o que resulta em orientações contraditórias sobre a utilização da Resolução No 510/2016, em termos de composição dos Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa e da apreciação ética dos projetos de pesquisa. A partir da vivência como membro da Conep, analisa-se o material publicamente disponível, produzido pela Conep, e identificam-se várias orientações contraditórias com a Resolução No 510/2016. É importante defendê-la em seu texto e trabalhar para um sistema de revisão ética em que haja a valorização da experiência contextualizada, com o objetivo de inverter a lógica “de cima para baixo” e superar a hegemonia de que uma única definição de pesquisa e de ética “serve” para todas as áreas.
AN ANALYSIS OF GOVERNMENTAL STRATEGIES FOR POVERTY REDUCTION IN BALOCHISTAN DURING THE YEARS 1972 TO 2020
Authors: Bijar Khan, Noor Ahmed
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this research paper is to examine the poverty reduction strategies of Pakistan government during the past and present years. In lieu of the regimes of practically every nation, comprising Pakistan, poverty is one of their main priorities. Organizations both domestic and outside in country are continuously researching the policy metrics that showed the reduction in poverty. To aid the country in eliminating poverty, the government has introduced a number of social initiatives throughout the past decades. In addition to the government, other local, national, and international organizations have made significant contributions to the campaign to eradicate poverty. The effectiveness of these social initiatives, however, has received very little investigation, and specifically on the necessity of social policy sectors. Another crucial element, which has been covered in practically every study on poverty, is the gap between the populations of the urban and rural areas. The rural population in Pakistan is still the target of virtually few social initiatives. In order to create innovative humanitarian initiatives that will benefit everyone, the nation's social policy issue requires fresh investigation.
TECHNO-ORIENTALISM: AN INTERTEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF THE WINDUP GIRL
Authors: Dr. Saba Zaidi, Mehwish Sahibzada, Asiya Mustafa Zehri
Published: November 2022

The concept of ‘Orientalism’ as suggested by Said (1978) is not only the stereotyped representation of east but it has deeper significance and approach. By the stereotyping of east the west has always maintained its position at the center of binarism. This idea may be of self-conceit or an urge to develop the third world countries (east), the question of ‘Orientalism’ is persistent throughout the sagas of history. Present study is an endeavor to analyze Orientalism by Said (1978) along with Techno-orientalism by Morley and Robins (1995) in order to understand the contemporary concept of orientalist regarding the exotic east. For in the current scenario east is no longer underdeveloped or primitive still it is ‘the exotic east’ with all its possessions and gluts to be explored by west. Applied method for analysis is Critical Discourse Analysis from which intertextuality by Fairclough (1992) is chosen as a tool of analysis. Findings of research asserts that although west has changed its attitude towards east still there are glaring evidences that Orientalism is prevalent with some varying degrees. Techno-orientalism is one of these new forms of Orientalism that depicts a new kind of orient/occident binarism.

Published: November 2022

This paper presents an overview of the historical inheritance of Pakistan; Muhammad bin Qasim’s conquest of Sindh in 712 which pushed the Hindus of India into a millennium of domination by various Muslim empires and dynasties. The political and religious impacts of Muslim rulers on Indian sub-continent, the feelings of separate identity of Muslim from Hindu majorities. The invasion of Arabs and other Muslim rulers in the subcontinent were mainly for the purpose of propagations of Islam, trade and the expansion of their role and dependency. Most of the historian justified that the Arab invasion on the subcontinent was only for the purpose of spreading Islam but the contradictory views is that the Arab and other Muslim invaders objectives were to grab immense wealth and dominate the trade route of the region.

Authors: Ms. Khushbakht Qaiser , Dr. Kashif Imran Zaidi Dr. Usman Hameed ,
Published: November 2022

This article will look into the circumstances under which regular inquiry can be dispensed with under the Punjab Employees Efficiency, Discipline and Accountability (PEEDA) Act 2006. It will be suggested that two conditions must be fulfilled before taking such an action. First, the department should have irrefutable documentary evidence to sustain the charge, and second reasons should be recorded in writing as to why regular inquiry is not needed. Next, the article will deliberate upon the importance of regular inquiry qua fair trial rights as guaranteed under article 10-A of the constitution. In the third place, the article will examine different types of inquiries, including fact finding and regular inquiry, de novo inquiry and inquiries applicable to contractual employees to make a point that one type cannot be substituted for another. Not only that, an attempt will be made to understand legislative intent behind the requirement to record reasons to dispense with regular inquiry. Finally, recommendations and conclusions will be made as to how the law can be made more responsive to the ordeal of civil servants pitched against the departments in long drawn litigation.

Authors: K P Radhika , D Bhuvaneshwari
Published: November 2022

COVID-19 pandemic triggered the outbreak of unemployment and insecurity particularly to the migrant workers in the unorganized sector of India. Short-term migration was an important feature of the Indian labor force due to the dependence on the informal sector for employment on a large scale. The nationwide lockdown left shock waves to the mass of migrant workers, who went jobless and devoid of social security benefits. In this background, this study is an attempt to emphasize the creative social work responses by way of immediate relief measures and Government schemes, in safeguarding the unorganized migrant workers. Further, the study suggested the development of an inclusive model for ensuring sustained livelihood patterns by creating job opportunities in the organized sector. This calls for structural reforms in the labor market to reduce the density of migration in search of employment and income and to create balanced regional development.

Published: November 2022

The main objective of financial inclusion is to extend financial services to the large hitherto un-served population of India country to unlock its growth potential. The BJP led NDA central government under the Prime Ministership of Mr. Narendra Modi has initiated a large scheme of National Mission for Financial Inclusion (NMFI), namely, Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) in August, 2014 to provide universal banking services for every unbanked household based on the guiding principles of banking the unbanked, securing the unsecured, funding the unfunded and serving un-served and under-served areas. A digital pipeline has been laid for the implementation of PMJDY through linking of Jan-Dhan account with mobile and Aadhaar [Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile (JAM)]. With a view to further deepening the financial inclusion interventions in the country, PMJDY has been extended beyond 14.8.2018 with the focus on opening of accounts shifting from “every household” to “every unbanked adult”. The moto of financial inclusion is from Jandhan to Jansuraksha. Apart from this, the Modi government had also initiated a very good number of other schemes under its public financial services for the purpose of financial inclusion of financially excluded people in India. The success of these schemes were tremendous.

Elder Abuse – A Review
Authors: Garje Krishnali , Gaikwad Sukanya
Published: November 2022

Elder abuse is a general term used to describe harmful treatment to ward an elderly person. This includes physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, financial exploitation and neglect. Elder abuse is a global public health and human rights problem that is predicted to increase as many countries experience a rapid growth in their population of older adults. Elder abuse undermines an older person's well-being and is associated with range of serious health consequences. Elder abuse is recognised worldwide as a serious problem yet quantitative syntheses of prevalence studies are rare. We aimed to quantify and understand prevalence variation at the global and regional levels. In pooled logistic regression, age, race, poverty, functional disability, and cognitive impairment were identified as risk factors for reported elder mistreatment. Additionally, the onset of new cognitive impairment was also associated with elder abuse and neglect. Because the mechanism of elder mistreatment case-finding in this study was a social welfare system protective services, the influence of race and poverty as risk factors is likely to be overestimated due to reporting bias. Elder mistreatment is now recognized internationally as a pervasive and growing problem, urgently requiring the attention of health care systems, social welfare agencies, policymakers, and the general public. In this article, we provide an overview of global issues in the field of elder abuse, with a focus on prevention.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: A corpus luteal cyst may reportedly be misidentified as an ectopic gestational sac. We report a case of cesarean scar pregnancy mimicking a pseudo-gestational sac, to differentiate between the two entities and diagnose correctly.

Case Report: A 42-year-old woman with four previous cesarean sections, at 7 weeks of gestation, was suspected of an unknown site pregnancy. Transvaginal Doppler ultrasonography showed a small cystic structure accompanied by neither a yolk sac nor surrounding marginal flow, adjacent to the uterine scar, and a 16-mm-large low-echo area with a white ring in the left adnexa. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging also demonstrated a small cystic structure without contrast enhancement resembling a pseudo-gestational sac adjacent to the cesarean scar. Moreover, a cystic structure with ring-enhancement beside the left ovary, which mimicked an ectopic gestational sac, was also detected. Given these imaging findings and slightly elevated serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels, ectopic pregnancy in the left fallopian tube could not be ruled out. She underwent laparoscopic surgery and uterine content removal, which resulted in intrauterine miscarriage. The cystic structure partially resected from a marginal area in the ovary appeared to be a luteal cyst.

Conclusion: For correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment, the clinical circumstances should be fully considered without excessive reliance on imaging findings.

Published: November 2022

O suicídio é um dos maiores problemas de saúde pública do mundo, com sérios impactos sociais, emocionais e econômicos. Objetivou-se compreender o enfrentamento emocional na ocorrência do suicídio, como vista e relatada por familiares do ente falecido, a partir da percepção do apoio psicossocial recebido no âmbito da atenção primária à saúde. Desenho qualitativo, exploratório e de corte transversal, realizado na área adscrita de uma Unidade Básica de Saúde em Pau dos Ferros – RN, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas e analisados pela técnica de Análise Temática. Emergiram três categorias: 1) “Ela nunca demonstrou” – a percepção do comportamento suicida pela família; 2) “Eu fiquei louca” – os sentimentos do familiar frente à cena do suicídio e os questionamentos culturais; 3) “Não tivemos acompanhamento nos dias seguintes” – apoio social e assistência à saúde. Quando não se dispõe de um adequado suporte psicossocial; os familiares sobreviventes ao terem que lidar sozinhos com os juízos de valor da sociedade, podem acabar se tornando emocionalmente vulneráveis e se sentirem desamparados.
Freire e o processo de alfabetização de crianças: análise das contribuições de produções científicas entre 2002-2022
Authors: Bruxel Carla Maria Leidemer , Bianchi Vidica
Published: November 2022

A alfabetização é um processo, intermediado pelo professor, que possibilita uma nova leitura de mundo e permite que a criança se insira ativamente na sociedade letrada. Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar as contribuições das produções científicas que tratam de reflexões sobre o processo de alfabetização fundamentadas em Paulo Freire. A natureza da pesquisa é qualitativa e se constitui como um estudo de revisão bibliográfica por meio de levantamento de produções científicas no Portal de Periódicos da Capes, com o uso dos descritores: “Freire” e "Alfabetização". Os dados foram organizados conforme a Análise Textual Discursiva (MORAES; GALIAZZI, 2016). Integram o corpus da pesquisa 10 trabalhos dos quais emergiram as categorias: a) Alfabetizar para a conscientização; b) Alfabetização e leitura de mundo; c) Alfabetização pelo viés da educação dialógica. Foi possível identificar que o processo de apropriação da linguagem escrita necessita ser desenvolvido através de uma relação dialógica que estimula a leitura do mundo e a reflexão da criança. Assim, o ensino da linguagem escrita precisa contemplar a expressão, a reflexão e a ação para a interação com o outro e a compreensão da própria posição no mundo.

Authors: Rahayu Rahayu , Komariah Komariah , Pujiyarti Mei
Published: November 2022

The water supply in dry land depends on the rainfall, which causes agricultural constraints and limited water supply. The pottery irrigation method is considered capable of overcoming water shortages during the dry season. Pottery irrigation uses porous clay, so the water slowly comes out of the pottery and wet the surrounding soil. The research aimed to study the influence of pottery subsurface irrigation with and without mulching on watermelon growth and soil properties of clayey soil Alfisol and sandy soil entisol. The research was conducted on July 2019 in the experimental field Faculty of Agriculture, Karanganyar Regency. The experimental research design used a nested design with a 3-factor treatment that were soil type (T), fertilization method (P), and use of mulch (M). The types of soil were Alfisol (T1) and Entisol (T2). The fertilization methods were fertigation 100% (P1), fertigation 50% (P2), and banding fertilization 100% (P3). Mulch application included control, without mulch (M0) and mulch (M1). The combination of P1M1 treatment on alfisol and entisol soil showed the highest soil moisture with values of 23.1% and 22.5%, respectively. The highest fruit weight of melon in alfisol and entisol soils were indicated by the same treatment (P1M1) with values of 580.33 g and 616.5 g, respectively.
Assessment of raptor species relative abundance in Hadejia Nguru Wetlands, Nigeria
Authors: Sabo Bashir Babura , Mohammed Salisu , Danladi Sule Ibrahim
Published: November 2022

Birds of prey are some of the most threatened vertebrate taxa, and in the last three decades many species have experienced severe population declines or faced extinction. The global loss of raptors per se is worrying, not just because of their charisma and flagship role, but also because reduced abundance of raptors can have cascading effects on ecosystem functioning. Raptor decline may also lead to loss of ecosystem services, sometimes acutely impacting human well-being. Therefore, population distribution, diversity and abundance of birds of prey demand investigation for potential conservation interventions. The study aimed to determine the abundance of birds of prey in Hadejia-Nguru wetlands, carried out in March to August, 2021, with a view to providing information in a bid to establish a baseline for conservation for this group of birds. Transect line method was used for the bird survey. This involved moving slowly along the transect line and recording all birds seen in and around the transect line. The survey was carried out for a period of six (6) months and each site was surveyed twice every month during the study period. Bird observation was carried out twice daily; morning between 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. and evening between 3pm to 6p.m. A pair of binoculars with magnification 7X50 was used for identification of birds visually alongside with field guide “Birds of West Africa” for identification of birds. Relative abundance and t-test were used for data analysis. The total number of birds was calculated as the number of birds seen. Transect line survey method detected a total of 1,562 individual birds of prey that belong to twenty four (24) species of 2 families. Accipitridae with 20 species and Falconidae with 4 species. The most abundant species, Yellow billed kite, black shouldered kite and gabar goshawk comprised 68.5% of all individuals seen in all wetlands in all seasons. Out of the 24 species recorded 16 are resident, 5 Palearctic migrant and 3 intra-African migrant. Four species of global conservation concern were also recorded; the Vulnerable Tawny eagle (Aquila rapax) the near threatened Red-necked falcon (Falco chicquera) and Pallid harrier (Circus macrourus) and the endangered Martial eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus ). Public awareness should be raised to inform the local populace about the importance of these species to the environment vis-à-vis protecting the man-made structures used by the bird species.

Сегодня глобальные цепочки создания стоимости (ГЦСС) выступают в качестве одного из основных драйверов структурных экономических преобразований как на глобальном уровне, так и на уровне отдельно взятых стран, регионов, отраслей и отдельных хозяйствующих субъектов. В данной работе авторами рассматриваются формы участия стран в ГЦСС, исследуется Индекс совокупного участия страны в ГЦСС и показатели включенности Российской Федерации в ГЦСС на основе данных ОЭСР. Делается вывод о крайне высоком уровне показателя внутренней добавленной стоимости в экспорте России и преобладании восходящего участия страны в ГЦСС над нисходящим. Предалагаются развилки трансформации включенности России в ГЦСС с учетом влияния пандемии COVID-19 и текущей геополитической напряженности.

Today, global value chains (GVCs) are one of the main drivers for structural economic transformations both at the global level and at the level of countries, regions, industries and firms. In this paper, the authors consider the forms of participation of countries in the GVCs, the index of their participation in the GVCs and the indicators of the inclusion of the Russian Federation in the GVCs based on the OECD data. The conclusion is made about the extremely high level of domestic value added in Russian export and the predominance of the country's upward participation in the GVCs over the downward one. The crossroads in the transformation of Russia's involvement in the GVCs are proposed, taking into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and current geopolitical tension.
