Statistics of Economic Growth in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Rwanda
Authors: Phiri  Millicent Mubiana , Tembo  Borniface Namushi
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study sought to analyze how economic growth in developing countries is influenced by public borrowing referencing on Rwanda as a case study.  
Methodology: The study used time series data from 1980 to 2018. The study used domestic debt and external debt to analyze how it influences Rwanda’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). To achieve this objective, secondary data was collected from the National Bank of Rwanda and the debt office in Rwanda. The study employed multiple regression model to identify the relationship between the dependent variable (GDP) and the independent variables (domestic debt and external debt). The t-test was used to confirm the formulated hypotheses at the 5% significance level.
Findings: The study found out that a positive relationship exists between IMF Loan and Rwanda’s gross domestic product, while a negative relationship exists between domestic debts and Rwanda’s gross domestic product, which violates the Keynesian theory of public debt.
Conclusion: The study concludes that both domestic and external debt significantly affect economic growth in Rwanda.
Recommendation: The study recommend that developing countries should develop a good structure of Debt Management Office including a plan for capacity building in order to make its proper debt strategy analysis without external support. The study also recommend developing countries to reduce reliance on internal borrowing to reduce competition between citizens and the government which can reduced economic growth. Furthermore, the study recommend developing countries to account for public debts and ensure that such debts are solely acquired for economic purposes rather that political purposes.

Published: June 2024

Objectives

Dorsal extensor tendon rupture is a known complication of volar locking plate fixation for treating distal radius fractures. Tenosynovitis or even tendon rupture secondary to dorsal screw protrusion has been reported in numerous case studies. The high anatomic variability in this area, along with difficulty in imaging the necessary anatomic detail, leads to inaccurate screw measurements. A detailed understanding of the dorsal anatomy of the distal radius may reduce future events. The purpose of this study is to describe a dorsal ulnar sulcus of the distal radius that can hide dorsal screw penetration and thus act as a blind spot to standard oblique radiographic images.

Methods

After obtaining approval from our Institutional Review Board, 59 consecutive magnetic resonance images of different wrists were analyzed. Using the axial cut with the maximum sulcus depth, a line was drawn from the apex of Lister’s tubercle to the dorsal ulnar corner of the radius. A perpendicular line was then drawn from this line to the deepest point in the sulcus. This measurement was recorded as sulcus depth.

Results

A sulcus was found in 97% (57/59) of individuals with an average depth of 1.3mm. The sulcus measured greater or equal to 2mm in 14% (8/59) of the wrists studied. The radiocarpal joint averaged 6.1 ± 2.9 mm distal to the sulcus measurement location. There was no significant difference between gender or extremity side regarding sulcus depth.

Conclusion

The dorsal ulnar blind spot is a clinically relevant sulcus on the dorsum of the distal radius. This region demonstrated variable depth in our study and is not easily quantified using standard radiographs. With heightened awareness of the anatomic variability of the dorsal sulcus, we reduced the incidence of dorsal tendon irritation at our institution to 0%. Therefore, caution should be taken when placing volar screws to prevent dorsal cortex penetration and subsequent extensor tendon injury.

Authors: Bridges Tiffany N. , Congiusta Dominick , Joshi Tej , Campbell Benjamin R. , Amer Kamil M. , Tosti Rick
Published: June 2024

Distal radius fractures are one of the most common upper extremity fractures in orthopaedics. Unstable distal radius fractures are often managed with volar locking plates (VLP). However, fragment-specific fixation may be more appropriate for fractures of the dorsal rim, dorsal ulnar corner, isolated radial styloid, and small volar ulnar corner fragments. While the volar approach is most common, the surgeon should also be familiar with dorsal, radial, and extensile volar approaches. This article discusses a contemporary surgical technique for open reduction and internal fixation of distal radius fractures using VLP via the flexor carpi radialis approach.

GEOPOLITICAL CONTAINMENT OF CHINA AND TÜRKİYE
Authors: Akosmanoğlu Tuğçe
Published: June 2024

It can be said that the US, which wants to control the Eurasian region, is trying to control the Rimland region, that is, a corridor starting from Eastern Europe and extending to the Pacific region, including Türkiye, Iran, Pakistan and China. According to Nicholas Spykman’s Rimland theory, the power that controls this region can hold world domination. In this context, Türkiye is trying to be limited to its own land border with the islands problem with Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean problem. When the Taiwan issue, the islands issue between China and Japan and the problems with the five countries claiming rights over the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea are analysed as similar examples in China, the interventions and restrictive effects of regional and extra-regional actors are observed. It is understood that the US, as an extra-regional actor, aims to confine China and Türkiye to their land borders. This article analyses the containment of China and Türkiye within the framework of Spykman’s Rimland theory. As two important countries in the Rimland region, similar problems of China and Türkiye are tried to be clarified in line with Spykman’s theory. The issues mentioned in the article include Türkiye’s geopolitics, Türkiye’s geostrategic encirclement, Eastern Mediterranean and Cyprus geopolitics, geoeconomic interests, China’s geostrategic encirclement and Türkiye-China geopolitics comparison, and these issues are analysed through the Rimland theory.

Authors: Salazar Mendoza Frida Michelle , Ramírez de Arellano Velázquez Daniela
Published: June 2024

Este artículo revisa sistemáticamente el rol del microbiota vaginal en la salud reproductiva, explorando sus mecanismos de acción y los tratamientos disponibles para la disbiosis vaginal. El objetivo principal es proporcionar una visión exhaustiva de cómo el microbiota vaginal influye en la salud ginecológica y las innovaciones terapéuticas emergentes. La metodología siguió las directrices del método PRISMA, realizando búsquedas en bases de datos académicas como PubMed, Scopus y Web of Science. Se seleccionaron estudios que investigaban el microbiota vaginal, sus mecanismos de acción, factores disruptores y tratamientos. Los hallazgos principales indican que los Lactobacillus spp., predominantes en un microbiota vaginal saludable, producen ácido láctico y peróxido de hidrógeno, manteniendo un pH bajo que inhibe patógenos. Además, producen bacteriocinas y compiten por nutrientes y espacio, protegiendo contra infecciones. Factores como el uso de antibióticos, prácticas de higiene inadecuadas y cambios hormonales pueden alterar este equilibrio, llevando a la disbiosis. Los tratamientos con probióticos y prebióticos han mostrado ser efectivos para restaurar el equilibrio microbiano. El trasplante de microbiota vaginal (TMV) surge como una alternativa prometedora. La personalización de los tratamientos basada en el perfil microbiano individual representa una dirección futura crucial. Este artículo subraya la importancia de enfoques personalizados y holísticos en el manejo de la salud vaginal.

Published: June 2024

Crops of the Solanaceae family are essential crops in the human diet and are grown worldwide. They are infected by many pathogens, which can cause various diseases, the most important of which is bacterial soft rot, which is considered among the most critical and complex diseases due to its economic importance in the field and storage. Pantoea agglomerans, formerly Enterobacter agglomerans, are among the most common bacterial pathogens. It infects a wide range of crops and plants with various diseases, including bacterial soft rot of onion, Chinese cabbage, and Chinese yam and wilt, gall, and blight diseases in other crops. Pathogenicity tests were conducted on samples collected from greenhouse crops of tomato and pepper. In addition to those obtained from local markets, which showed soft rot symptoms, five isolates were identified to cause soft rot disease. Isolate Pa3 outperformed the rest of the isolates in terms of speed of symptom appearance and severity of virulence. The isolate tested negative for Gram stain but tested positive for KOH, catalase, gelatin liquefaction, oxidation-fermentation, and motility tests. It was negative for indole production and oxidation tests based on biochemical analyses. Nucleotide sequence analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA result confirmed a 100% similarity rate and was registered in NCBI under the accession number (OR690734)..

Effects of Three Desiccant Dusts and Two Dusts with Botanical Compounds on House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) Eggs, Larval Development to Pupation and Adult Emergence and Survival
Authors: HARLIEN ALLAN T. SHOWLER AND JESSICA L.
Published: June 2024

The house fly, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae), is considered to be a nuisance pest and a mechanical carrier of medical and veterinary pathogenic organisms. Because the fly has developed resistance to a variety of commonly used insecticides, novel alternative pest control tactics are being researched. Five desiccant dust-based formulations, silica gel (CimeXa), perlite (Imergard WP), diatomaceous earth (Celite 610, biologically produced in diatoms), silica gel + pyrethrins + piperonyl butoxide (PBO, a synergist) (Drione), and silica gel + thyme oil (EcoVia WD), were evaluated for effects on house fly egg hatching, larval development to pupation, adult emergence from pupae, and adult survival in the laboratory. While silica gel, perlite, and diatomaceous earth did not reduce egg hatching, pupation, and adult emergence from pupae, the silica gel + pyrethrins + PBO and silica gel + thyme oil formulations provided 100% control of those life stages. Adult house flies exposed to complete bodily coating and limited exposure from tarsal contact were killed by all three desiccant dust products without botanicals and two products formulated with botanicals. The formulations with bioactive botanicals provided more rapid control (3?4 h) than the desiccant dusts without botanicals (<24 h). All dust formulations showed effectiveness for house fly control to one extent or another; possible uses of the dusts as control tactics are discussed..

Published: June 2024

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which produces cry protein during its sporulation phase, is a commonly used biopesticide in the market to control a wide range of insect pests belonging to Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, and Diptera. The development of assays for detecting and quantifying cry protein to commercialize biopesticides is in high demand. Various methods are available to detect the cry protein; however, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are the preferred method to quantify the cry protein as it is highly sensitive, reliable, specific, cost-effective, easy to use, and give rapid results. Our study aimed to develop indirect ELISA to quantify cry proteins of in-house Bt isolates and the standard strains of Bt var kurstaki. In this study, the method for isolating the cry proteins was optimized. The isolated protein concentration was estimated using Bradford's method. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed the banding pattern 140 KDa and 65 KDa for cry1ac and cry2ab proteins, respectively. The Dot blot assay showed the presence of cry protein in all the in-house Bt isolates. The newly developed indirect ELISA quantified the cry proteins using the curve expert standard..

Published: June 2024

Cancer incidence is increasing due to rising global temperature, especially skin cancer. Skin cancer is frequently misdiagnosed as moles or other skin tags and is thus identified at a much later stage. As a result, a model that precisely targets the face and identifies benign or malignant tumours in the region is required. This paper proposes skin cancer detection using CNN. Data augmentation is an effective way for increasing the diversity of data points without collecting fresh datasets for CNN training. The input image is preprocessed using an adaptive wiener filter. This preprocessing technique is used to remove noise from images. Fuzzy C means are used to segment the preprocessed image. An effective classifier is used to classify the image after segmentation. CNN is used for classification. Final output will predict by using CNN classifier. This paper is implemented with python software.

Published: June 2024

In this given approach the MMC reconfigurable feature, flexibility, and ease of use have achieved tremendous relevance and for a renewable energy system for charging system that reduces total harmonic distortion. In this study, a practical method for implementing MMC is proposed, controlling the converter’s power flow with a solar PV system. With a bi-directional battery converter, this grid-tied MMC system efficiently charges the electric car battery system. The MMC receives the PV output, balances the voltage, and then sends it to the MMC’s HFC. The MPPT algorithm is used to monitor the maximum power generated by the PV panel. The proposed work is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink in order to assess its performance. THD is reduced more effectively using the prescribed work.
Dual-Input Non-Isolated Sepic Cuk Converter with Vehicle to Grid Tied System
Authors: J Sarjin Benet Raj , P Priyanka Darling Rosita
Published: June 2024

Worldwide energy consumption is rising, necessitating the search for an alternative source to address the looming power problem, which is most likely accomplished by means of a dual input power source. In this project, we use two input sources, a solar panel and a battery, and we also present a smart grid innovation called vehicle to grid technology, which enables energy exchange between electric vehicles and the grid. The combination of EVs and the grid has an impact on the entire power system, generating supply-demand, voltage, and frequency imbalances. In this project, workable optimization strategies are proposed to reduce these problems. Lithium-ion batteries are initially charged via smart grid, and their SOC is determined using CNN. In this study, the voltage is changed in both directions using a bidirectional Sepic-Cuk converter. With the help of PI, the calculated SOC is used to construct the gating sequence for the converter. When the SOC is less than 94%, the battery gets recharged by the grid through the Buck mode, and when it is greater than 94%, the battery gets depleted through the Boost mode. PI controllers are used to control both the active and reactive power. Through MATLAB simulation, the proposed tactic is verified.

Published: June 2024

The legal basis for assessing a default case is Article 1238 of the Civil Code which explains that a default occurs when the debtor does not fulfill its obligations according to the agreement. A tort lawsuit is a civil lawsuit that refers to default in an agreement and is submitted through a lawsuit letter, where letter evidence has an important role in proving the claim. In the decision of this case, the court considers the evidence and suitability between the claim and the relevant legal basis for making a decision in the case. Factors such as the location of the collateral object, differences in the name of the landowner, and the clarity of the goods auctioned are the main considerations in determining the granting of the lawsuit and the rejection of the application for auction of collateral. The results showed that the Source District Court used Article 1238 of the Civil Code as a legal basis in assessing cases of default in the sale and purchase agreement of agricultural facilities, with a letter of agreement as the main evidence. The factors that caused some of the Plaintiff's claims to be granted and some of the Defendants' requests for auction of debt collateral were the discrepancy between the description of the lawsuit and the evidence of the letter submitted, especially regarding the location of the collateral object, differences in the name of the landowner, and the vagueness of the goods to be auctioned.

Published: June 2024

Cyber ??operations began to attract attention in international law in the late 1990s, in 1999 the United States Naval War College held the first major legal conference on this issue. In the aftermath of the attacks of September 11, 2001, transnational terrorism and subsequent armed conflict shifted attention from topics to large-scale cyber attacks. Operations occurred in Estonia in 2007 and against Georgia during its war with the Russian Federation in 2008, as well as cyber incidents such as the targeting of Iran's nuclear facilities with the Stuxnet Worm in 2010. Cyber ??warfare is included in organized crime and terrorism as one of the level one threats. The United States National Security Strategy itself calls cyberwarfare one of the most serious national security, public safety and economic challenges that we face as a nation and state. There is a need for clear and concrete international and national legal regulations so that cyber warfare can be prevented and does not cause unnecessary casualties in accordance with the principles of international humanitarian law. Apart from clear regulations, support is needed in the defense sector to form human resources and at the military defense level.

Sports injuries are the most common problems experienced by athletes. Sports massage is non-invasive, easy to apply and does not cause side effects. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of sports massage in athlete recovery. A literature review was carried out using PICO searches in several databases such as Google Scholar and Elshiver. Criteria were met in 6 reviews that reported sports massage performed 3 times a week for 4 weeks for 20 minutes with moderate pressure (2 cm depth). Of the several articles found, most used RCTs, quasi-experimental study designs and clinical trials with P<0.05. Both the experimental and control groups received sports massage. It can be concluded that sports massage is effective in speeding up the athlete's recovery process.
Analyst Types of Malpractice In Health Law

Malpractice refers to medical practices that do not comply with the applicable laws and ethical codes. It can also refer to negligence, errors, or a doctor's inability to solve a patient's problem in such a way that the patient is dissatisfied with the outcome. Patients suffer as a result of healthcare workers' neglect of necessary procedures when they lack knowledge of health-related topics. This occurs when medical practices are performed on patients who become victims, but medicine is based on procedures or how doctors perform actions. Whether malpractice occurs or not is not judged by its adverse consequences. The definition of malpractice under current law is unclear. However, the concept of malpractice can be found in Article 11 paragraph 1 letter b, Law No. 6 of 1963 concerning healthcare personnel, which has been repealed and replaced by Law No. 23 of 1992 which regulates healthcare.

Authors: Hua Xia , Asavisanu Poonpilas
Published: June 2024

Background and Aims: Self-leadership was vital for the success of male nursing students, empowering them with confidence and the skills needed to excel in a traditionally male-dominated field. The objective of this study was to construct a self-leadership model to foster the development of self-leadership among male nursing students in Guangxi Province, China.
Methodology: Utilizing a mixed-methods approach that integrated quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, the study involved 308 male nursing students from three representative medical universities.
Results: The research revealed that the mean levels of self-leadership and self-determination among male nursing students were moderate. Seven core self-leadership strategies were identified through a systematic literature review and content analysis: Goal Setting, Self-awareness, Time Management, Growth Mindset, Effective Communication, Learned Resourcefulness, and Collaboration. A significant regression equation was found F (7, 297) = 36.71, p<.000), with an R2 of .396. The seven self-leadership strategies were significant predictors of self-leadership, and approximately 36.71% of the variation in self-leadership can be explained by participation in the seven self-leadership strategies. An analysis of Beta scores showed the following significance levels: Goal Setting (β = .502, p<.05), Self-awareness (β = .174, p<.05), Learned Resourcefulness (β = .170, p<.05, Effective Communication (β = .097, p<.05),) Growth Mindset ( β = .056, p<.05), Time Management (β = .043, p<.05), and Collaboration (β = .036, p<.05).Qualitative data from interviews with nursing faculty members contributed to the identification of twelve activities that could potentially strengthen self-leadership and self-determination in male nursing students. These activities were incorporated into developing a theoretical model delineating the interplay between self-leadership strategies and self-determination. Experts validated the final model using the focus group method.
Conclusion: According to the study, male nursing students demonstrate moderate levels of self-leadership and self-determination. Goal-setting, self-awareness, learned resourcefulness, effective communication, growth mindset, time management, and collaboration are significant predictors of this behavior. A theoretical model highlighting twelve activities to improve male nursing students' self-leadership and self-determination was developed through additional qualitative analysis, and focus group methodology was used to validate the model by experts.

Background

Physician review websites have a significant influence on patients with regard to provider selection. The goal of this study was to utilize machine learning to understand what influences patient ratings for shoulder and elbow surgeons online.

Methods

All reviews and ratings were obtained from Healthgrades.com. The “Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner” (VADER) software was used to score the ratings on a scale between -1 and +1. Word frequency analysis was also performed to provide context to the words used to describe surgeons; both positive and negative word frequencies were analyzed. A multiple logistic regression identified the odds these words/phrases were associated with a sentiment score >0.50. Both star ratings (out of 5 points) and sentiment scores were collected.

Results

493 surgeons (6,381 reviews) were included. There was no difference in ratings based on gender or geography. Age analysis indicated that star ratings and sentiment scores were lower for older providers (p<0.01). “Pain” was the most commonly used phrase in both the best and worst reviewed surgeon reports. When a comment included the phrases “knowledgeable”, “confident”, “listen[s]”, “recommend”, or “comfortable”, surgeons’ online ratings were 1.6x, 2.7x, 3.2x, 2.6x, and 3.8x more likely to be positive (p<0.01). Approximately 1 out of 5 reviews included mention of ancillary characteristics (e.g., “wait”, “front desk”, “office”).

Conclusion

This unique code allows surgeons to analyze their field, from the individual to health system level, to see how they are being reviewed online. For shoulder and elbow surgeons, this study showed that more positive online reviews were seen for surgeons who are younger, have reduced office wait times, and have overall positive patient perceptions. Pain and pain management were the primary determinants of overall scores. As online ratings can influence a patient’s choice of provider, surgeons should consider implementing these findings to optimize their practice.
Tanggung jawab suami dalam keluarga Kristen Menurut Kejadian 2:15
Authors: Sipota Martinus
Published: June 2024

Kejadian 2:15 memberikan pemahaman teologis tentang peran suami sebagai kepala keluarga yang harus bertanggung jawab dalam keluarganya. Namun yang terjadi adalah masih ada suami-suami yang kurang bertanggung jawab. Penafsir-penafsir sebelumnya telah memberikan kontribusi yang baik dalam menafsir Kejadian 2:15. Namun tafsiran-tafsiran tersebut hanya menyoroti keharusan bagi manusia untuk bekerja. Maka penting dilakukan tafsiran ulang dari teks ini dilihat dari aspek tanggung jawab suami sebagai kepala keluarga dalam keluarga Kristen. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menemukan tanggug jawab suami sebagai kepala keluarga dan prinsip dalam pelaksanaan tanggung jawab tersebut berdasarkan Kejadian 2:15. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode penelitian Kepustakaan dengan pendekatan Hermeneutik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kata mengambil memiliki pengertian mengambil dan memindahkan dengan satu tujuan. Kata menempatkannya melimiliki pengertian istirahat atau tempat istirahat. Allah adalah penyebab utama yang menempatkan Adam di taman Eden sebagai tempat beristirahat atau sebagai habitat yang menyenangkan. Kata  megusahakan berarti mengelola dengan sungguh-sungguh dan kata memelihara berarti menjaga yaitu aktifitas yang dilakukan dengan tujuan ‘pelestarian’ atau kepastian ketersediaan. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah tanggung jawab suami dalam keluarga Kristen adalah bekerja untuk mencukupi kebutuhan keluarganya. Tanggung jawab itu berasal dari Tuhan dan harus dipertanggung jawabkan kepada Tuhan. Bekerja harus dengan prinsip kesungguhan dan konsistensi.
Eksegese Keluaran 20 : 3 Tentang “ Jangan ada padamu allah lain di hadapanKu,”suatu Telaah Kritis Terjemahan, terhadap Alkitab Terjemahan Baru.

penjelasan tentang makna eksegesis “Jangan ada allah lain di hadapan-Ku,” menurut Keluaran 20 : 3, suatu telaah kritis teologis terhadap Alkitab Terjemahan Baru. Teks ini sangat penting untuk diteliti, agar maknanya tidak secara praktis untuk dipahami, sehingga dapat terjebak pada pemahaman yang keliru. Dalam Bahasa Ibrani, untuk menyatakan bentuk larangan, ada dua jenis yaitu Larangan yang bersifat sementara yang sering diterjemahkan dengan pemakaian kata 'jangan' dan larangan yang bersifat mutlak atau permanen, normatif yang sering diterjemahkan dengan kata 'tidak boleh ada'. Dalam Alkitab Terjemahan Terjemahan Baru, bentuk larangan yang dipakai adalah kata 'jangan'……… pemakaian bentuk larangan ini dalam Alkitab Terjemahan Baru, cenderung tidak menunjuk pada makna yang normatif, sehingga dapat menimbulkan pemahaman yang keliru jika dibaca secara praktis. Oleh karena itu penulis menganggap penting untuk dapat mengkritisi terjemahan ini dengan menguraikan makna eksegesisnya, agar dapat di maknai sebagaimana seharusnya, dipahami dengan benar dan dapat diterapkan dalam kehidupan beriman orang percaya setiap saat.
Untuk menguraikan maksud penulis di atas, maka penulis meneliti bagian teks ini dengan menggunakan metode penelitian Biblikal dengan prinsip Hermeneutika secara Grammatical guna mendapatkan makna yang sesungguhnya dari teks ini, dengan sistem deskriptif melalui Library Risearch. Sehingga dapat menjawab problematika pemahaman praktis termaksud.
Diharapkan hasil penelitian ini dapat memberikan masukan yang berarti bagi Penerjemahan yang tepat dari teks ini agar lebih mudah dipahami dan direfleksikan dalam kehidupan beriman bagi orang yang percaya, serta memberikan sumbangsih pengetahuan teologis yang baik dan benar dari teks ini.
