Introduction: The prevalence of obesity in adolescents has increased worldwide, which is closely related to comorbidities in adulthood. Despite the severity of this pathology and its significant impacts on the health system, there is no international consensus on the cut-off point for the percentage of body fat for Brazilian children and adolescents, making it difficult to make an accurate and early diagnosis addition to assertive treatment.
Objective: This study aimed to establish cut-off points for body fat percentage in male and female adolescents aged 16 to 19 years using bioelectrical impedance (InBody 570®).
Methods: Gender-specific tables were proposed based on the percentiles 3, 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 75, 85, 95, and 97. A total of 546 adolescents were included.
Results: The body fat percentage cut-off points for the male group were: P3 = 6.0-7.0%; P5 = 7.1-8.9%; P10 = 9.0-9.8%; P15 = 9.9-11.7%; P25 = 11.8-15.5%; P50 = 15.6-21.9%; P75 = 22.0-27.8%; P85 = 27.9-36.0%; P95 = 36.1-38.0% and P97 ≥ 38.1%. For females, the cut-off points were: P3 = 9.5-10.0%; P5 = 10.1-11.0%; P10 = 11.1-11.8%; P15 = 11.9-14.0%; P25 = 14.1-19.0%; P50 = 19.1-27.1%; P75 = 27.2-29.0%; P85 = 29.1-39.9%; P95 = 40.0-51.0% and P97 ≥ 51.0%.
Conclusion: The establishment of cut-off points for body fat percentage may improve the clinical assessment and management of overweight and obese adolescents.

Authors: Qiong Wu , hui Wang Yu- , hong Zhang Xiao- , hui Li En- , jiao Yang Shen-
Published: April 2022

Logistic equation was used to fit the plant height growth of wheat and alfalfa in different intercropping treatments, and the effects of intercropping on the plant height growth of wheat and alfalfa were analyzed according to the results of fitting curve model parameters. The results showed that the plant height growth of wheat and alfalfa under different intercropping patterns was in line with "S" curve. According to the turning point of the growth curve, the plant height growth can be divided into three stages: gradual growth stage, linear growth stage and slow growth stage. In late March, wheat and alfalfa began to enter linear growth phase, which lasted about one month and one and a half months, respectively. The linear growth of wheat and alfalfa in all treatments accounted for more than 50% of the total growth in growth period. Intercropping alfalfa extended the linear growth period of wheat, but reduced the growth rate and amount of wheat in the linear growth period. While intercropping with wheat shortened the linear growth period of alfalfa, but accelerated its growth rate.

Crop diversification, need to maintain current levels of cropped area for food and other uses have made use of intercropping important. The trap nature of medicinal aromatic plants and has a great role for vegetable crops important for protecting damage of fruits from insect pest attack, extend the shelf life of it, maintain the quality during transportation to market like African marigold. Intercropping of medicinal and aromatic plants with different horticultural plants has a great role reducing the post-harvest yield loss, maintain the quality of fruits and increase its shelf life in storage. The aromatic nature and essential oil of MAPs enables to protect soil borne nematodes; they also protect these nematodes diseases by suppressing its adventus root system. The presence of other crops in intercropping the volatile oil is reduced because of shade. However, shading of the component crops has a negative effect on essential growth, biomass yield, oil content, composition and quality oil of MAPs. Medicinal aromatic plants are also significantly increase soil organic nitrogen, soil water content, decreased pH values and available nitrogen content. Intercropping of MAPs with other crops offers congenial conditions which it results the improvement in resource use efficiency in terms of productivity and net return per unit area.

Authors: Jebungei Kutto Naomi , Kerei Kennedy Ole
Published: April 2022

Outcome target 3 of Sustainable Development Goal 4 focuses on reducing barriers to skills development, Technical and Vocational Education, and Training starting from secondary level, tertiary, and university education. It also focuses on providing lifelong learning opportunities for youth and adults. Universities in Kenya have been at the forefront of improving access to higher education for all. One programme through which Universities have actualized their desire for accessible education is Module II, popularly known as the parallel programme. Through this programme many individuals who achieved the minimum requirement for university admission have had an opportunity to access higher education even though they had hitherto not been considered. However, the quality of education offered under this module has remained a matter of concern. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze probable antecedents of sustainable quality education in the Module II programme. The study adopted the quasi-experimental research design anchored in the positivist research paradigm. The study targeted lecturers drawn from public universities and campuses located in Uasin Gishu County. Questionnaires were used to collect data from a sample of 258 lecturers handling diverse disciplines and who were randomly selected. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze data. The study revealed that admissions policy, quality culture, curriculum development, and teaching evaluation were significant antecedents to sustainable quality education in Module II. The originality in the study is that Module II can and does support the realization of SDG4 outcome target 3 concerning access to university education. Educational stakeholders should rethink implementing this module alongside these critical antecedents to empower individuals.
Constitutional and Judicial Approaches to Environmental Challenges
Authors: Okafor Kathleen
Published: April 2022

The Research Paper ‘Constitutional and Judicial Approaches to Environmental Challenges’, takes us through the role of the Legal and Judicial System, in the protection of the Environment, and in the wider campaign against Environmental Degradation. The importance of Environmental Sustainability cannot be over-emphasized as a destroyed environment may also mean the end of the human race and even plants and animals. The paper looks at both the Nigerian perspective, as well as the global outlook. It looks at the Human Rights angle, which submits that destruction of the environment by industrial, corporate and government institutions, may be an offence against the Law since it infringes on the right of the ordinary citizen to live a healthy life in harmony with nature. In other words, since these human institutions have been responsible for the extinction of many animal species, they shouldn’t be allowed to extend their destruction to include the reduction of the quality of human life or even wiping out the human race. The paper looks into the extent to which the judicial system could help protect the common man from the forces of Environmental Degradation.
The Effect of Capital Punishment on Terrorism in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alqahtani Mohammed , D’Alessio Stewart J. , Stolzenberg Lisa
Published: April 2022

Numerous studies investigate the deterrent effect of capital punishment on homicide levels, but no published study conducted to date focuses explicitly on the impact of capital punishment on terrorist activity. In addition, no research evaluates the possible deterrent effect of a mass execution. This study examines the influence of the mass execution of 47 terrorists by the Saudi government, which took place on January 2, 2016, on the frequency of terrorist attacks originating from within Saudi Arabia. Using missile and drone attacks that were launched from outside of Saudi Arabia as a statistical control variable, results generated in an interrupted time-series analysis show that the mass execution decreased the frequency of within-country terrorist attacks by approximately two attacks per month. Results further reveal that the Saudi military intervention in Yemen amplified within-country terrorist activity by nearly five attacks per month. These findings suggest that the use of capital punishment may prove to be useful in deterring terrorist attacks.

Authors: Ajoku Elaine Somawina , Alegbeleye Justina Omoikhefe
Published: April 2022

Background: Caesarean section rate has been on the increase in the past few years. Previous caesarean sections are a major indication for caesarean sections. The risks associated with repeat caesarean sections have brought about the need to adopt vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) as the preferred mode of delivery in a previously scarred uterus. Aims and Objectives: To determine the pregnancy outcome and complications of vaginal birth after caesarean section at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study of 121 women with one previous caesarean section who presented at the labour ward of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2019. Data was obtained from the case notes, ward, and theatre registers, encoded into a spreadsheet, and analyzed using SPSS 22.0. The results are presented as means, rates and proportions. Associations between variables were assessed using students t-test and Pearson’s correlation. Statistical significance was considered at P<0.05. Results: There were 20,661 deliveries during the period under review. Of these, 175 had vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC). However, only 121 case notes were available for analysis. About one third, 44 (36.36%) of the women had previous successful VBAC and 5 (4.13%) had augmentation of labour. Perineal laceration was the most common complication 38 (31.4%). Majority of the babies 103 (85%) had APGAR scores > 7 in the first minute, while 10 (8.55%) were admitted in the Special Care Baby Unit. Maternal age, socioeconomic status, gestational age at delivery and birth weight were not significantly associated with the outcome of VBAC. Conclusion: Vaginal Birth after Caesarean Section is safe and should be recommended in carefully selected women with previous caesarean section, to reduce the morbidities associated with repeat caesarean sections.

Authors: Akter Mariam , Siddiquea Ayesha , Ferdousi Begam
Published: April 2022

Background: Partograph is a simple, of low cost but most important tool for record of progress of labour In the developing country like ours, where both pregnancy and maternal mortality rate is so high, the use of this inexpensive partograph is essential. Objective: To assess the importance of partographic control of labour in preventing prolongs labour and its consequences, thereby decreasing maternal morbidity and mortality and improvement of neonatal outcome. Method: This study was done in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of Institute of Child and Mother Health, Matuail, Dhaka. Total 196 patients were included in this study. Data were collected by predesigned data collection sheet. Data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 14. Result: 74% of these patients had spontaneous vaginal delivery, 7.14% required assisted delivery (forceps or ventouse) and 18.9% needed caesarean section. Caesarean section was done in 18.9% patients because of fetal distress (32.4%) and prolonged labour (67.6%) due to malrotation and cephalopelvic disproportion. Patients with non-engaged head in labour required more intervention than who had engaged head. With the use of partograph, unnecessary interventions were reduced. It was found that 66.7% of the patients were delivered within 7 hours and all patients were delivered within 10 hours from active phase of labour. Thus prolonged labour and its consequences, such as obstructed labour and ruptured uterus, can be avoided by using partograph. In 100% of the patients, crossing the action line in partograph required interference, but 92.5% within alert line of partograph delivered vaginally spontaneously and 7.5% required assisted delivery (forceps or ventouse). When IDR was 1 cm/hr 85.1% women delivered spontaneously. When IDR was <0.4 cm/hr, 100% of patients required some kind of interference. Thus, the maintenance of partograph in labour enables the obstetricians to recognize very early dystocic labour and act accordingly. Conclusion: With the help of a partogram, time of delivery can be estimated and if the progress is slow, an appropriate interference at the right time can be instituted before the labour becomes dangerously protracted. IDR very helpful in making early decisions about the prognosis for the type of labour. With the use of partogram and its scientific application, the result showed that operative interventions were reduced, duration of labour was within normal limit and there was no obstructed labour and no maternal or perinatal mortality.

Gelugur leaf (Garcinia atroviridis Griff ex T. Anderson) is a kind of nadir is believed to origanate from the wild forest of Peninsular Malaysia. Gelugur  leaves have antidiarrheal compounds in the shapes of tannins and flavonoids to reduce diarrhea. The purpose of this study was to find out the antidiarrheal activity of the ethanolic extract of gelugur leaf in white male rats. The antidiarrheal effect was tested on 15 white male rats with 5 treatment groups, namely, a negative control group of 1% CMC Na, a positive control group of loperamidee hcl, and a treatment group of ethanol extract of gelugur leaves at a dose of 150 miligrams/kgBW, a dose of 300 miligrams/kgBW, and 600 miligrams/kg body weight. Each group was given oral treatment and observations were made on the onset of diarrhea, frequency of diarrhea, and stool consistency. Tests were carried out using an experimental method. The ethanol extract of gelugur leaves was made by maceration method using 96% ethanol. The results of the study on the onset of diarrhea were EEDG 600 miligrams/kgBB (60 minutes), a good decrease in diarrhea frequency was indicated by EEDG 600 miligrams/kgBB (4 times), a good decrease in stool weight was shown by EEDG 600 miligrams/ kgBB (0,7757 grams), good consistency was also shown in the EEDG 600 miligrams/kgBB (soft stools. The data were statistically analyzed using One Way Anova. The results of data analysis from the three EEDG groups affected the decrease in diarrhea because the sig value <0.05 Based on One Way Anova analysis, the five most effective treatments were loperamidee, 600 miligrams/kgBB, EEDG at 300 miligrams/kgBB, EEDG at 150 miligrams/kgBB, and CMC Na 1%.  The conclusion in this study is that EEDG 600 miligrams/kgBB has antidiarrheal activity induced by oleum recini when compared with EEDG concentrations of 150 miligrams/kgBB and 300 miligrams/kgBB.

The World Health Organization (WHO) sets the average standard of sectio caesarean delivery in a country to be around 5-15 percent per 1000 births in the world.In Indonesia, the results of Basic Health Research in 2013 showed births with a caesarean section of 9.8% out of a total of 49,603 births from 2010 to 2013. Nursing problems that often arise in cases of post sectio caesarea are pain caused by trauma to the tissue due to tissue damage and direct irritation to the receptors. The nurse's independent action to control the pain felt by the patient is to do pain management with non-pharmacological techniques, namely music therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of music therapy on pain intensity reduction in post sectio caesarea patients. This study used a quasi-experimental design method with a non equivalent control group design. The sampling technique uses accidental sampling technique with a total sample of 32 respondents, 16 experimental groups and 16 control groups. This study used the Wilcoxon non-parametric test. The results of this study indicate the P-value (0.001) <α (0.05). The conclusion of this study is that there is an effect of music therapy on the decrease in pain intensity in post-sectio caesarea patients in the hybrid room Sembiring General Hospital.
