Health-Related Quality of Life of People with Physical Disability in South-South, Nigeria
Authors: N. E. Andrew-Essien , N. Ojule I.
Published: November 2020

Background: The global increase in non-communicable diseases and increased aging of most populations is projected to have a profound effect on the overall prevalence of disability. Quality of life is a concept that has become fundamental to assessing life and living of all individuals more so for people with disabilities. In this study, we focused on assessing the quality of life of persons with mobility disabilities in Rivers State, Nigeria, identifying factors that influence their quality of life from their perspective. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used in conducting this study among 179 subjects with a physical disability, specifically mobility impairment. The inclusion criterion was all persons with a physical disability. Exclusion criteria were children (0-17 years) with any form of disability, persons with intellectual, visual and hearing impairments. We used a Two-Stage sampling process using a computerized random number generator.
The study tool was the (7) WHOQOL - BREF questionnaire which was both self and interviewer-administered. Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Significance was set at P≤0.05. Results: The lowest and the highest mean scores of WHOQOL-BREF domains were found for the social relationships domain (Mean = 10.58) and the environmental health domain (Mean = 23.52), respectively. The mean age of respondents was 38.49 ± 10.89years. Respondents ≤34 years of age had a higher mean overall QoL scores (2.71 ± 1.04) than those above 34 years (2.57 ± 1.10). A significance was observed between age and physical health. Education years was significantly associated with two domains (psychological and environment), Employment status was associated with two domains (psychological and social relationships), and the onset of disability associated with the psychological domain (p<0.05). Conclusion: Quality of life was relatively low across the four health-related domains, with the social relationship domain recording the lowest mean QoL scores. The factors that had significant positive relationships with various domains of quality of life were level of education, gender, age, occupation and activities of daily living. In Nigeria, disability status is still largely absent from routine data collection. This study adds to bridging the gap in evidence-based research on disability.

The International Bureau of Education: A Precursor of the Unesco and the Factory of its Pedagogical Guidelines? (1934–1968)
Authors: Schneuwly Bernard , Hofstetter Rita
Published: November 2020

Our article contributes to trace the sociogenesis of "educational internationalism" as promoted by the International Bureau of Education when it became an intergovernmental organization in 1929, cooperating with Unesco since 1947, before being fully integrated in 1969. The IBE can be considered as one of the forerunners of Unesco, a kind of factory of its pedagogical guidelines: it develops a modus operandi for producing, through a comparative approach, in as objective and neutral a manner as possible, knowledge concerning the progress of education in the world and recommendations forming a charter of world aspirations in education. These matters are discussed in International Conferences on Public Education (ICPE). With the birth of Unesco, the IBE negotiates a status of autonomy and collaboration, continuing its technical work based on comparative education. The problems studied, defined by both institutions together, relate to three crucial fields: access to education, curriculum, teacher education. The IBE’s approach is far from being free of tensions: in the results themselves of its work and between the countries participating in IBE’s enquiries and the ICPEs.
International Organizations and Educational Change in Spain during the 1960s
Authors: Delgado Gómez-Escalonilla Lorenzo
Published: November 2020

From the end of the 1950s, Spain’s political leaders felt the need to promote changes in the educational system that would bring it up to date and give more space to practical content and technical training. International organizations played a leading role in the propagation of these new ideas and organizational practices for the training of human capital and its contribution to economic development. The reports and guidelines of the OECD and UNESCO disseminated prior experiences on educational planning carried out in Latin America, at the same time that they functioned as channels for the transmission of knowledge and teaching methods throughout the 1960s. The modernizing sectors of the Francoist elite (the technocrats) were the main liaisons with those international organizations. They were convinced that it was necessary to reform an obsolete and class-based system to adapt it to the demands of a society that was undergoing a strong process of economic growth. Such schemes, likewise, proved useful to the political project of authoritarian modernization that was propping up the Franco dictatorship. This text will examine the relationship of the Spanish state with the international organizations that provided advice and funding to undertake a set of changes in education, changes that would culminate in the General Education Law of 1970 at the start of the following decade.

Study of Hypothetical Learning Trajectories in Mathematics Learning
Authors: Hendrik Agnes Ivana , Lay Yuanda Oktrin , Amuntoda Yohanes Sanca Nele
Published: November 2020

Mathematics learning in this era requires teachers to be able to develop learning models that pay attention to the characteristics of students, so it is important for teachers to know the learning trajectory. This study aims to describe the conception of learning trajectory and hypothetical learning trajectory, as well as presenting the design of hypothetical learning trajectories in mathematics learning. Based on the theories studied, it is concluded that a hypothetical learning trajectory is a learning design in the form of allegations on student learning activities based on initial understanding and characteristics of students to achieve higher understanding. HLT has three main components namely learning objectives, learning activities, and hypotheses of the learning process. HLT is used by teachers as a guide to predict and prepare learning flow designs that are appropriate to the stages of student thinking and can improve student learning outcomes. The findings of previous studies show that to design HLT in mathematics learning, educators need to consider student obstacle learning, a hierarchy of material, and learning support capacity, so that learning activities to be hypothesized are built based on these things.

The Scope and Content of Section 75(1)(a) of the Zimbabwean Constitution: An International Law Approach
Authors: Simbo Chiedza
Published: November 2020

Despite the recent enactment of the Zimbabwean Constitution which provides for the right to basic education, complaints, reminiscent of a failed basic education system, have marred the education system in Zimbabwe. Notwithstanding glaring violations of the right to basic education by the government, no person has taken the government to court for failure to comply with its section 75(1)(a) constitutional obligations, and neither has the government conceded any failures or wrongdoings. Two ultimate questions arise: Does the state know what compliance with section 75(1)(a) entails? And do the citizens know the scope and content of their rights as provided for by section 75(1)(a) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe? Whilst it is progressive that the Education Act of Zimbabwe as amended in 2020 has addressed some aspects relating to section 75(1)(a) of the Constitution, it has still not provided an international law compliant scope and content of the right to basic education neither have any clarifications been provided by the courts. Using an international law approach, this article suggests what the scope and content of section 75(1)(a) might be.

This article examines the right to the free exercise of religion from a comparative perspective in the context of Islamic marriage and divorce in England and South Africa. In particular, the article considers how Islamic marriage may be interpreted and recognised in a coherent manner in rights-based systems of law and how these two legal systems ensure that the rights of religious women are fully respected and acknowledged. The similarity in the growth of non-legal, quasi-judicial bodies (sharia councils in England and ulama in South Africa) is analysed, along with their effect on rulings on Islamic divorces and other matters. The article suggests that both legal systems may learn from the other and suggests ways in which this comparative method of legal analysis can be employed to achieve legal reform and the legal recognition of these marriages. In this regard, the article deals with various models, based on either the assimilation and unification of marriage laws (as proposed in South Africa) or integration and pluralism. The article examines these models not only from a pragmatic perspective, but also from a rights perspective. It suggests that the assimilation model, based on a Western, Judeo-Christian paradigm of marriage, would not only be inconsistent with the ethos of legal pluralism promoted by the South African Constitution and the English Human Rights Act, but, more importantly, would not protect the rights of Muslim women adequately. Therefore, the article concludes that, in line with recent South African High Court jurisprudence, the legislative recognition of Muslim marriage and divorce law is urgently required in both jurisdictions.

Objective: To report a case of Desmoid Tumor in the cervical region. Case Report: A case of a large mass in the cervical region of a patient with progressive growth, neck pain and some move restriction, without other comorbidities. Imaging, histopathologic and immunohistochemical study were needed for diagnosis, surgical treatment and postoperative care. Imaging showed a 12.6 x 5.7 x 5.8cm tumor, T1-weighted muscle isointense and T2-weighted hyperintense heterogeneous core, close to paravertebral muscles and pushing left sternocleidomastoid muscle laterally. The chosen treatment was complete tumor exeresis. Immunohistochemistry revealed myofibroblastic neoplasm compatible with desmoid fibromatosis with positivity for nuclear beta-catenin. Final Considerations: Large benign and infiltrative tumors need to be well conducted. It is essential that otolaryngologists are aware of the nature of these cases, differential diagnosis, treatment options and their possible complications, because eventually cases like this may appear requiring special care.

Pada masa pandemi kebersihan dan kesahatan menjadi kunci utama kehidupan. Untuk menunjang kehidupan yang bersih dan sehat, tempat sampah menjadi salah satu hal yang sangat dibutuhkan keberadaannya. Klasifikasi tempat sampah yang ada, sudah cukup bagus untuk memudahkan teknologi daur ulang sebagai penunjang perbaikan lingkungan. Dengan adanya klasifikasi, sampah yang basah dan kering tidak akan tercampur. Sampah daur ulang juga langsung bisa ditangani tanpa harus memililah-milah terlebih dahulu. Selain klasifikasi sampah, Model sampah saat ini juga harus menjadi perhatian. Model sampah yang tidak efektif menjadi cukup beresiko untuk menularkan penyakit, terlebih virus covid-19 yang menjadi pandemi saat ini mampu bertahan pada permukaan plastik dalam jangka waktu yang cukup lama. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, sekaligus menunjang kebersihan agar semakin terjaga maka dirancang sebuah penelitian terkait dengan Prototype Sederhana sampah Otomatis yang ramah lingkungan. Dari hasil penelitian didaptkan bahwa prototype sampah ini dapat menunjang kebersihan sekaligus kesehatan masyarakat secara efektif. Karena masyarakat tidak harus lagi membuka dan menutup sampah ketika hendak mebuang sampah, sehingga diharapkan masyarkat tidak malas untuk membuang sampah pada tempatnya.

OBJECTIVE: Pakistan is geographically located in the region where prevalence of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is high. Human papilloma virus (HPV) subtype-16 plays significant role in heterogeneity of HNSCC. The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of HPV-16 in both blood and saliva in HNSCC in our population and its association with clinicopathological features. METHODOLOGY: A total of 200 samples comprising 100 blood and 100 saliva samples were collected. Hundred samples (saliva; n=50, blood; n=50) were collected from histopathologically confirmed head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients and 100 samples (saliva; n=50 saliva, blood; n=50) were collected from healthy individuals without a history of cancer as controls. HPV-16 was detected using conventional polymerase chain reaction and gel-electrophoresis. The frequency and distribution of clinicopathological variables were calculated in percentages. Chi-square test was used to analyze the association of HPV-16 positivity with clinicopathological variables. RESULTS: Of 100 samples from HNSCC patients, 11 (11%) samples were positive for HPV-16. Of 11 HPV-16 positive samples, 8 (16%) were detected in saliva (n=50) and 3 (6%) were detected in plasma (n=50). Of 100 samples from control group, both blood and saliva samples were negative for HPV-16. No statistically significant association was found between HPV-16 in saliva and blood and clinicopathological characteristics (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Within the limit of current study, HPV-16 has a low-frequency in saliva and blood in HNSCC in our population. Further studies on HNSCC with large sample and HPV-subtypes are suggested.

Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVE: Dental wax carving exercise is a practical exercise to teach tooth morphology that develops psychomotor skills needed to practice clinical dentistry. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of dental wax carving as a teaching modality for tooth morphology and its assessment. METHODOLOGY: Forty-two first-year dental students were randomly divided into two groups participated in this study from February 2019 till September 2019 at Bahria University Medical & Dental College. Learning resources related to dental wax carving were provided to the first group of 21 students while the second group of 21 students received practical demonstration. The students self-evaluated their dental carving based on a standardized checklist and two examiners then evaluated the dental wax carvings randomly. A student satisfaction survey was performed at the end of this study to gain feedback regarding the dental wax carving as a teaching methodology. RESULTS: The mean scores given by self-assessment of students were significantly higher than those given by the examiners to both the groups. The group that was given a live demonstration of dental carving scored higher than the self-directed learners. Overall student feedback regarding dental carving was uniformly positive. CONCLUSION: Dental carving skills develop manual dexterity and psychomotor skills for practicing clinical dentistry and should be an integral component of preclinical dental curriculum so that clinically relevant cognitive & psychomotor skills are incorporated. Based on this study, a live demonstration of dental wax carving skills should be the preferred teaching modality.
