Ancient Seafarer and Maritime Early Civilization in Southeast Asia: Theoretical Debate & New Approach
Authors: Ali Ismail
Published: April 2024

Traditionally, seas and oceans have become sources of inspiration in seeking the truth from facts to dispel the worldview of those who tended to associate it with myths and superstitions. Seas and oceans are equally realms with their advantages in bridging nations, inculcating a sense of unity, mutual understanding, and cooperation as well as in generating wealth. They are considered priceless treasures, which can neither be exchanged nor modified. In the South East Asia or Nusantara historiography, the relationship between men known as seafarers

is indisputable. It is not far-fetched to suggest that the change and development in present-day Southeast Asia, from traditional kingdoms to modern nation-states are intimately rooted in and shaped by the contributions of our seafaring ancestors. By taking into consideration past maritime historiography, namely the roles and contributions of these seafaring communities, and the presence of the surrounding seas and oceans, it can be deduced that they have contributed immensely to the development of various civilizations in this region.

Published: April 2024

Pneumonia is a form of acute respiratory infection that affects the lungs. The lungs are made up of small sacs called alveoli, which is normally fill with air in a healthy person, but filled with pus and fluid in an individual with pneumonia thereby reduces oxygen intake and making breathing difficult Pneumonia is a fatal and leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially among children five years and below; and the elderly 65 years and above especially those with weakened immune systems. Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, virus, and fungi, and the severity ranges from mild to severe depending on the causative agent and the duration of the infection. Early diagnosis, particularly knowing the severity level of Pneumonia gains a paramount importance for saving lives. Medical diagnosis using artificial intelligence (AI) systems, is currently an active research area in medicine widely used in biomedical systems. Deep learning, a subset of Artificial intelligence provides a powerful tool that assist medical experts to analyze, model, and make sense of complex clinical image data across a broad range of medical applications. This paper proposes a deep learning technique of classifying X-ray images of pneumonia patients into their severity classes.

Authors: Selisho Joseph
Published: April 2024

Background: This study was undertaken due to high levels of poverty in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Member States. The overall objective of the study was to explore the contribution of COMESA in the fight against poverty in Africa, a case study of Zambia from 2010-2021. The specific objective in this article was to explore the Contribution of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa in fight against poverty in Zambia through private development. The study employed qualitative approach with an exploratory research design and critical case sampling to choose 13 key respondents to explore the contribution of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa in Zambia through private sector development from 2010-2021. Primary data was analysed from 13 key respondents selected purposively using an interview guide to support secondary data. Data was analysed using thematic and content analysis. This study found that COMESA was established by a treaty in December 1994 as a basis for private sector development and promotion of foreign direct investment in the region with a view to create employment and income generating activities contributing to poverty alleviation. Zambia embarked on private sector development and promotion of foreign direct investment with the financial support from COMESA and its international cooperating partners of development. The study established that COMESA had been significant in the fight against poverty in Zambia. However, despite the trade reforms implemented, the study established that poverty levels in Zambia had not reduced since 2010 instead there had been an increase from 54.4 % in 2020 to 60.3 % in 2021. Zambia requires a clear regulatory framework predictable for business planning with a conducive legal business environment that promote the private sector and foreign direct investment with an enabling business environment and innovative policy framework targeting various sectors of the economy.

Published: April 2024

Policymakers and policy practitioners have pointed out the use of policy networks in the development and execution of road safety policy measures as a suitable strategy for addressing road safety. Governments at all levels—national, state, and local—have moved from single- to multi-agency approaches to handle the execution of road safety policy measures. Previous research on policy networks in road safety has concentrated on the role that organizational networks play in this policy domain. This study aimed to investigate the moderating influence on the relationship between the multiple streams approach and the implementation of key road safety policy initiatives in Kisii and Kisumu counties. The study adopted descriptive survey and explanatory designs. The study adopted pragmatism and phenomenology research philosophies. The Multiple Streams Framework and Punctuated Equilibrium Model served as the study’s foundation. The sample size of the study was 347 of the target population. Quantitative data was examined using multi-linear regression approaches and Pearson correlation analysis. Stepwise regression was used to analyze the moderating variable. Thematic analysis was used to assess qualitative data. The results of the study demonstrated that policy networks influenced the relationship between the MSF and the enforcement of road safety policy measures, which explains 6.5% of the variances in implementation. The study concludes that the execution of road safety rules is a collaborative effort that ought to include policy networks and other pertinent players in the transport industry.

Authors: Lagang-Buenaventura, MD Marie Khatrina C. , Ang-Nolasco, MD Victoria Dominique C.
Published: April 2024

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the well-being of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families. The core deficits of the condition and increased parental stress during this time made them more vulnerable.
Objectives. This study aims to explore how the pandemic has affected these families by identifying their needs and capabilities in order to provide support.
Methods. A total of 227 parents of children with ASD completed an online survey consisting of items on sociodemographic, family needs, and coping strategies. Descriptive statistics were used and t-test and ANOVA/Kruskal Wallis were used to determine the relationship between parent and child factors with needs and coping.
Results. Needs for Information, Community Services, and Finances are the top categories while the greatest identified need during this pandemic was for financial assistance. Religiosity, Problem-Solving, and Cognitive Reappraisal were the widely used coping strategies by the parents. Fathers, younger children, daughters with ASD, and having more than one child with ASD showed significant association with needs. Parents with primary and tertiary education were associated with use of the cognitive reappraisal strategy and those with jobs were associated with substance use.
Conclusion. Families of children with ASD have multiple needs during this pandemic, from autism-specific information and services, to more generic concerns such as financial assistance. Despite these challenges, these families have positive strategies in place to facilitate coping mechanisms.

Authors: Lee, MD Alexandra P. , Libadia, MD Aurora Gloria I. , De Ocampo, MD Fay S.
Published: April 2024

Objective. We aimed to evaluate the impact of maternal COVID-19 infection and separation of the mother-babydyad on feeding practices by determining modes of feeding upon discharge and following up at 2-3 days, 14 days, and 1 month post-discharge.
Methods. This was a prospective observational cohort study conducted at the Philippine General Hospital, a tertiary government COVID-19 referral center in Manila. Mothers who delivered between the months of July and August 2021, and whose COVID-19 status was known were followed up on their baby’s mode of feeding at 2-3 days, 14 days, and 1 month post-discharge via phone call. For babies of COVID-19 positive mothers, presence of any symptoms (up to the 14-day time point only) as well as adherence to infection prevention and control practices were also identified.
Results. For all time points post-discharge, breastfeeding rates were higher in babies born to COVID-19-negative mothers and in those who were roomed in. However, the differences were not statistically significant. Of the 108 infants, 72.90% remained exclusively breastfed by 1 month of age, with 4.67% formula-fed and 22.43% on mixed feeding. Perception of insufficient milk supply was the most common reason for shifting to formula or mixed feeding. We found a significantly higher direct breastfeeding rate upon discharge in the roomed-in population compared to those admitted to the NICU. Risk factors affecting breastfeeding at 1 month of age was the presence of COVID-19 infection in the mother and mother-baby separation due to NICU admission COVID-19-positive mothers were 66.02% less likely (p=0.016, 95% CI 0.1411 to 0.8183) to still be breastfeeding at 1 month, and separation was not found to be a significant risk factor.
Conclusions. Feeding practices can be affected not only by COVID-19 infection in the mother and its attendantdifficulties such as prolonged hospital stay and physical and social isolation, but also by limitations in the hospital environment that can have an impact on breastfeeding education, support, and opportunities for mother-childbonding.

Background. With the surge of COVID-19 infections, there were concerns about shortage of mechanical ventilator in several countries including the Philippines.
Objective. To transform a locally made, low-cost, neonatal ventilator into a volume- and pressure-controlled, adult ventilator and to determine its safe use among ventilated, adult patients at the Philippine General Hospital.
Methods. The modification of the neonatal ventilator (OstreaVent1) to the adult OstreaVent2 was based on the critical need for adult ventilators, in volume or pressure mode, in the Philippines due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The adult ventilator settings were calibrated and tested for two days to check for consistency and tolerance and then submitted to a third party for certification. Once certified, a safety trial of 10 stable adult patients on mechanical ventilator was conducted. The patients were placed on the OstreaVent2 for four hours while ventilator parameters, patient’s vital signs, and arterial blood gases were monitored at baseline, during, and after placement on the OstreaVent2. A poststudy chest radiograph was also done to rule out pulmonary complications, particularly atelectasis and pneumothorax.
Results. The prototype OstreaVent2 received an FDA Certification for Medical Listing after passing its thirdpartycertification. Ten patients (60% male) recruited in the study had a mean age of 39.1 ± 11.6 years. Half of thepatients had a diagnosis of non-COVID-19 pneumonia. During the 4-hour study period, the patients while onthe OstreaVent2, had stable ventilator settings and most of the variabilities were within the acceptable tolerances. Vital signs were stable and arterial blood gases were within normal limits. One patient developed alar flaring which was relieved by endotracheal tube suctioning. No patient was withdrawn from the study. One patient who was already transferred out of the ICU subsequently deteriorated and died three days after transfer to the stepdown unit from a non-ventilator related cause.
Conclusion. The new OstreaVent2 is safe to use among adults who need ventilator support. Variabilities inthe ventilator’s performance were within acceptable tolerances. Clinical and blood gas measurements of thepatients were stable while on the ventilator.
