Portugal COVID-19 Governmental Response
Authors: Abdellatif Omar S. , Behbehani Ali , Landin Mauricio
Published: July 2021

The International Health Regulations (2005) are legally binding on 196 States Parties, Including all WHO Member States. The IHR aims to keep the world informed about public health risks, through committing all signatories to cooperate together in combating any future “illness or medical condition, irrespective of origin or source, that presents or could present significant harm to humans.” Under IHR, states agreed to strengthen their public health capacities and notify the WHO of any such illness in their populations. The WHO would be the centralized body for all countries facing a health threat, with the power to declare a “public health emergency of international concern,” issue recommendations, and work with countries to tackle a crisis. Although, with the sudden and rapid spread of COVID-19 in the world, many countries varied in implementing the WHO guidelines and health recommendations. While some countries followed the WHO guidelines, others imposed travel restrictions against the WHO’s recommendations. Some states refused to share their data with the organization. Others banned the export of medical equipment, even in the face of global shortages. The UN Compliance Research group will focus during the current cycle on analyzing the compliance of the WHO member states to the organizations guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

THE CONTEXTUALIZED SITUATIONS CONSTRUCTED FOR THE USE OF STATISTICS BY SCHOOL MATHEMATICS TEXTBOOKS
Authors: WEILAND TRAVIS
Published: July 2021

The consideration of context is crucial in the discipline of statistics. In this paper, I present a Foucauldian discourse analysis (FDA) of two popular high school mathematics textbook series in the United States investigating what contextual situations they construct for the (re)use of statistics. As FDA is a novel approach in statistics education,an extended discussion is provided to help show a rationale for its use and to provide a foundation for others. An important finding is that the contextualized situations presented in both textbook series are predominantly fictional, neutral, and providelimited raw data. The findings have implications for the teaching and learning of statistics in view ofrecent calls for more focus on data and statistical literacy in schools.

USE OF COMMERCIAL AND FREE SOFTWARE FOR TEACHING STATISTICS
Authors: STEMOCK BRYSON , KERNS LUCY
Published: July 2021

This study investigates the effectiveness of two statistical software packages, the commercial software, SPSS, and the free software, R Version 3.5.0, in teaching statistics, by comparing grades earned by students in an introductory statistics course. Students taught using R earned slightly higher grades overall than those in the SPSS class, although the difference between the two groups of students was found to be not significantly different. The responses given by students on the end of semester survey for the use of technology indicated that students felt comfortable with both software packages, and the software R was recommended more strongly for future use in a statistics course than the software SPSS. These findings provided some insights on the use of different software packages in statistics education, which might support the use of free software in teaching statistics at college level.

Published: July 2021

The unsignalized intersection which is located in Cileungsi District, precisely on Jalan Cileungsi Setu and Jalan Raya Narogong, is a commercial area with dense economic activity and densely populated settlements. As a result of the dense activity, congestion occurs due to the large number of vehicles passing the road, especially during peak hours, namely the morning and evening. Seeing this problem, an analysis is needed that aims to determine the volume, performance of roads, and unmarked intersections as measured by capacity, degree of saturation, and level of service.  In analyzing this study using the Indonesian Road Capacity Manual (MKJI) 1997 method which will determine the performance of roads and intersections without signs. The data needed in this research are primary data in the form of geometric road data, traffic volume, vehicle speed data, and side friction. As well as secondary data in the form of location maps, land use, and population data. From the results of data analysis and processing, the busiest traffic flow at the intersection occurred on Sunday, November 15, 2020 at 17.30 - 18.30 WIB, the saturation degree value was 1.17 with LOS F. By doing an alternative solution, the saturation degree value was 0.68 and LOS B with placing signs are prohibited from stopping around intersections, and prohibiting the flow of traffic turning right either from the main road D to the Minor C road or from the Minor C road to the main road B. On Jalan Raya Narogong, the degree of saturation is 0.74 LOS C service, this shows that the road sections do not exceed the figure required by MKJI 1997, namely ≤ 0.75.

Published: July 2021

La serie de doce inscripciones sepulcrales grabadas en urnas pétreas del “mausoleo de los Pompeyos” (Torreparedones, Baena, Córdoba), aparecidas en 1833, constituye sin duda el testimonio epigráfico más completo y significativo del proceso de incorporación a la ciudadanía romana y latinización onomástica en Hispania. Del análisis de la documentación generada por Aureliano Fernández-Guerra en 1834 se plantea una nueva hipótesis sobre las relaciones familiares de los individuos citados en ellas, estableciendo como hipótesis un nuevo stemma de la familia Pompeia.

Unveiling the conservation status of the sessile oak forest for their protection and management in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula
Authors: Bou Jordi , Vilar Lluís
Published: July 2021

The sessile oak forests found on the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula are ascribed to the Lathyro-Quercetumpetraeae association and play a key role in understanding the ecology of this habitat, as this region represents its xeric limit. For this reason, we analysed the biodiversity patterns and current conservation status of the sessile oak forests in the region. To do so, we collected Braun-Blanquet inventories of 34 plots randomly distributed throughout the sessile oak forests. The results showed a relationship between the climatic conditions and the biodiversity variables. While the richness of the community increased with decreasing temperatures, the characteristic species found within the community decreased at these same temperatures. This result was due to the presence of most companion species in the cool zones at high elevations.Sessile oaks are found close to other communities, such as silver birches and Scot pine forests.On the other hand, in the warm areas at low elevations, the sessile oak community was more established, with plants typical of this type of forest. These slightly warmer zones with sessile oaks are very important in terms of conservation and more vulnerable to climate change and the thermophilization of the community, as has been studied. As such, protecting and managing these forests is key to conserving this community. Nevertheless, as current protection measures do not safeguard most of these forests, it is essential to define a conservation strategy to preserve them. Using the conservation status, we have established criteria to improve the conservation strategy for sessile oak forest on the NE Iberian Peninsula.

Architecture of aggression in cyberspace. Testing cyber aggression in young adults in Hungary
Authors: Parti Katalin , Kiss Tibor , Koplányi Gergely
Published: July 2021

In order to test whether and how violence is exacerbated in online social networking sites, we utilized the BryantSmith Aggression Scale (Bryant & Smith, 2001), and included examples in the questionnaire offering solutions for 7 different hypothetical cases occurring online (Kiss, 2017). The questionnaire was sent to social work and law school students in Hungary. Prevalence and levels of aggression and its manifestation as violence online proved to be not more severe than in offline social relations. Law students were more aware than students of social work that online hostile acts are discrediting. Students of social work were significantly more prone to break into physical fights than were law students and higher level of aggression was observed in their online behavior as well. Those who spend more time online tend to be more active online and bear a significantly higher level of aggression compared to those who are less active online. To conclude, higher education has a significant role in establishing control. This is especially crucial with law students who might have to work closely with the police and local residents aiming to establish peaceful communication, problem solving, and cooperative solutions in grassroots community policing programs.

HONOUR KILLING: ILLITERACY AS AN INSTRUMENT OF WOMEN SUBORDINATION IN TRIBAL AREAS OF PAKISTAN
Authors: Dr. Arshad Khan Bangash , Fariha Bibi
Published: July 2021

This study was carried out with the sole objective to determine the relationship between education and pervasiveness of honour killing in tribal areas of Pakistan under interpretative methodology and qualitative tools of data collection i.e. in-depth interviews. A sample size of 45 participants consisting upon 38 Maliks and 07 government officials from political administration was selected through purposive sampling method. Education is greatly associated with the mitigation of crime and deviancy from society in a positive direction. Likewise, it can play its role in decreasing the rate of honour killing by discouraging such barbaric customary practices. However, with special reference to tribal areas of Pakistan and the practice of honour killing, education does not play its role in true spirit as required. Both educated and illiterate population of tribal areas equally endorsed the norms related to honour and are being involved in honour killing. Moreover, educated women in tribal areas are more prone to honour killing, as they goes beyond the wishes of family patriarch in matters permitted by the religion, values and state constitution. Further, they less likely observed the established norms related to veil and preferred to wear ‘Paranony’ in place of ‘Burqa’. Teaching materials about honour conception and honour killing is neither the part of curriculum nor taught within the class room environment. Lastly, the study concluded that sometimes parents avoids to send their daughters for getting formal education with the fear that after getting education they might violate the established pattern about honour norms. Inclusion of teaching materials about barbaric customary practices in syllabus, creating awareness among the people regarding ultra-judicial killing of women, importance of human life and understanding of women in light of the teachings of Islam and medical sciences were forwarded some of the recommendations in light of the study findings.

Authors: Hamida Zafar
Published: July 2021

This study also aims at determining the role of these madrassas in imparting education to adult females and elderly women alike. This research is also an eye opener for policy makers that without any outside help they are working quite effectively even in those areas where government fails to provide education to boys so girls are out of the question. Another positive aspect of these madaris is that they offer a uniform curriculum and system of education. There is no distinction of rich and poor, Pashtuns and Panjabi, young and old, all people having any background, status and age have an access to education in these institutions. Almost all the students, parents and madrassa teachers showed their satisfaction over madrassa education especially for girls because they consider madrassa education associated with girls decency more over madrassa educated girls obtain better marital status, the most desired one in an Islamic society and hence considerable number of rich and middle-class families sent their daughters to madrasas & even are ready to pay fees if so required These madrassa are working independently but in recent years been started and teachers of home madrassas showed their concerns over it. Most of the teachers are unwilling to get their madrassa registered with any board for me or the other reason. Government should take measure to provide opportunities to religious sectors for improving and expanding the services of these madrassa. Moreover necessary steps should be taken to eradicate the misunderstanding between government and madrassa administrators. In this way registration procedure can be made easier and exact number of these madrassa can be brought forth. But all this requires mutual understanding and an atmosphere of cooperation and trust. Madrassa assumes central position in Islamic Education System. Recently in most of the rural areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa the number of Home madrassas increased many fold. These madrassas provide valuable services to communities in which they are located. These madrassas are a ray of hope for those girls who are not allowed to attend schools and those women who are illiterate as these institutions provide basic religious education and also a place of get together for those who are otherwise confined to four walls of the house. Most of these madrassas are working independently of any religious, political organization and government and are free from sectarianism, extremism or fundamentalism, focusing only on providing religious education. This study focuses on the Effects of these Home Madrassas on Girls Education. The main objectives of the study are to highlight the role of these madrassas in female education and to highlight the need of restructuring and reshaping these madrassas for better results.

Authors: Pun Khagi Maya , Panthee Bimala , Samson Priscilla
Published: July 2021

Introduction: Psychological distress is a widespread indicator of mental health. It is a state of emotional suffering associated with stressors and demands that are difficult to cope with in daily life. The study aimed to identify the prevalence of the psychological distress among adult population.
Methods: A cross-sectional house to house survey was conducted in an urban community for four weeks in 2018. Face to face interview was done among 618 adults using Kessler K6 Nepali version interview questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics (Pearson Chi-square and Pearson correlation) were used for analyzing the data. P value was set at 0.05.
Results: We found that 0.3% adults had severe psychological distress, 1.5% had mild to moderate and 98.2% had no psychological distress. Education, past history of mental health problem and occupational status were significantly associated with psychological distress (p-value = < 0.05). Age, alcohol intake and smoking cigarettes were positively correlated with psychological distress (r = 0.12), (r = 0.13), (r = 0.10) respectively and education was significantly negatively correlated with psychological distress (r = - 0.16).
Conclusion: Our findings showed low psychological distress among urban community adults. Education, history of mental problem and occupation were associated with psychological distress. Higher the age, positive history of smoking and alcohol were associated with high psychological distress. However, the adults who had high education had low psychological distress. Thus, it suggests that elderly people in an urban community might need psychological support.

Key words: Adults, Psychological distress, Urban community.

This study was done to assess the effectiveness of ultrasound and cryokinetics versus ultrasound and soft tissue massage (deep friction massage) in patients with acute supraspinatus tendinitis.
Method: All subjects were clinically diagnosed by orthopaedician and were screened as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. 60 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups with n= 30 each group, Group A- received ultrasound therapy and cryokinetics, whereas Group B- received ultrasound therapy and soft tissue massage. The treatment was given 1 session/day, 6 days/week. The total treatment duration was for 2 weeks.
Outcome Measures: Patients were evaluated on day 1, day 7 and day 14. All the patients were assessed for pain and shoulder functional scale by taking VAS and SPADI.
Results: Both the groups showed statistically significant changes in pre and post values. However, Group B showed greater improvement from baseline to week 1 on VAS and SPADI. After analysis group B showed significance with P<0.001*.
Conclusion: Ultrasound therapy with cryokinetics, and ultrasound therapy with soft tissue massage both were effective in reducing pain intensity and increasing the shoulder functional scale but ultrasound therapy with soft tissue massage showed superior hand over ultrasound therapy with cryokinetics.

The purpose of this study was to determine and examine the effect of intellectual capital, firm size, and firm growth on firm value in companies that are incorporated in the Jakarta Islamic Index and listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and test whether profitability can moderate the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. This research is causal research using secondary data. The population of this study is companies that are members of the Jakarta Islamic Index listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2019. The method of determining the sample uses a saturated sample so that a sample of 57 companies is obtained multiplied by four years of research to obtain 228 observations. The analysis technique used in this study uses panel data regression analysis and moderating test with Eviews 10 software tools.
The results of this study partially intellectual capital has a negative and significant effect on firm value. Firm size has a negative and significant effect on firm value, and firm growth has a positive and significant effect on firm value. The profitability variable moderates the relationship between the influence of intellectual capital and firm size on firm value and does not moderate the relationship between the effect of firm growth on firm value.

Keywords: Intellectual Capital, Firm size, Firm growth, Profitability, Firm Value.
Risk Management of Time Overrun in Multiple Phases of Construction: Consultant Perspective

This article reports a study on the construction of a food factory building in Indonesia by investigating the root causes of time overruns from the perspective of a consultant. Although many risks have been identified at various stages of the construction project, it is not clear which risk is the main cause of project delays. To better understand the optimization of risk management and risk mitigation, a multi-stage risk management is proposed, which is divided into four phases: pre-design, design, project bidding, and construction. Therefore, the use of bow tie analysis allows for more in-depth inspections to identify risks. From each bow tie diagram, a detailed risk mitigation table can be developed, and it is easier to plan the response to each risk. From this research, the top 5 reasons for the delay of the project were found. The first reason for the delay is X3a2, which has a value of 4.578, which is a change in design idea. The second value of X3c1 is 4.533, which is the technical data of new machines appearing. The third row is X2b4, the value is 4.467, waiting for owner's decision. The fourth place is the variable X1b3 Machine technical data appears after tender, with a value of 4.422, and the fifth place is the difference between local regulations and foreign regulations, with a value of 4.378.

Onchocerciasis also known as river blindness is a chronic parasitic disease caused by the filarial worm Onchocerca volvulus. This study was a cross sectional experimental study carried out to compare the diagnostic methods used in detecting river blindness in selected endemic areas of Imo state, Nigeria. The multistage sampling technique was adopted to select samples for the study. All subjects used for this study gave an informed consent to be part of the study. Bloodless skin snips were collected from the center of the nodule or other parts of the body with the assistance of a laboratory scientist and taken to the laboratory for analysis. A total of four hundred inhabitants of the studied communities (Umulolo, Amuro, Umuna, Umunumo, Onicha, Nzerem, Umuneke and Umulewe) were examined. Out of these, the number infected by onchocerca volvulus based on Skin-Snip Microscopy, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Mazzotti test, Dietylcarbamazine (DEC) patch test and Enzyme linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) test were 59, 197, 50, 107, 201 respectively. SPSS analysis using the one way ANOVA showed a significance difference (P< 0.05) in the sensitivity of the PCR, Skin Snip Microscopy, Mazzotti, DEC Patch test and ELISA used for detecting Onchocerca volvulus in all the study areas. In conclusion, the diagnostic screening efficiency of ELISA and PCR were observed to be higher than that of the other diagnostic methods analyzed. It was recommended that further evidence-based, comparative research studies on current and conventional diagnostic methods should be done to ascertain reliability, reproducibility, sensitivity and accuracy of methods used for detecting River Blindness.

Published: July 2021

Trousseau syndrome is the phenomenon in which an occult visceral malignancy is the underlying cause of an unexpected thrombotic event. Trousseau syndrome has a well-established association with advanced primary pancreatic and pulmonary malignancies and others like prostate, stomach, colon, and hematologic malignancies can be associated. Here we report a case from whose initial presentation we thought that it was stroke, but later she developed DVT in both legs and after investigation it was suspicious of carcinoma gall bladder.

Published: July 2021

Background: Cerebral palsy describes a group of disorders of development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non- progressive disturbances that occurred in developing fetal or infant brain. Spider therapy is an intensive treatment approach which was originally developed in Poland. It involves suspending the child in the Centre of universal exercise unit by using a number of elastic bungee cords of different elasticity. These cords are attached to specific points on special belt around the child’s waist, forming a unique spider web around the child which provides them essential support.
Purpose: The purpose is to study the scientific evidences regarding the effect of the spider therapy on motor functions and balance in cerebral palsy
Methodology: A search for relevant articles was carried out using key words- cerebral palsy, spider therapy, motor functions and balance and search engines-Google Scholar, PubMed, PEDro, Science Direct, Research Gate and CINAHL. Studies were selected from year 2005-2020. eleven studies were included in which there were 1 Meta-analysis, 2 Systematic reviews and 4 Randomized controlled trials,1Quasi- Experimental study, 1 case study, 1 interventional study and 1 retrospective study.
Results: 11 studies were reviewed from which 6 studies concluded that spider therapy is more effective than a control group receiving conventional treatment, 2 study highlighted MFR to be equally effective to alternative treatment and 3 studies concluded that spider therapy have significant but small effects on functioning at post-treatment and follow-up
Conclusion: Based on the analysis of these 11 articles, it can be concluded that spider therapy is an effective treatment regimen in cerebral palsy.
Clinical Implication: Spider therapy is found to be effective in improving balance and motor functions in s cerebral palsy, therefore spider therapy can be considered as an adjunctive treatment in cerebral palsy.

Keywords: cerebral palsy, spider therapy, motor functions and balance.
