Authors: Levy Jose Acuña  , Ancho Inero
Published: October 2022

This study was focused on how principals manage the professional development of their teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This also explored their practices in providing necessary learning opportunities to teachers during the sudden shift of learning modality. In addition, the practices of principals in managing teachers’ professional development have also been investigated. This study utilized the case study method of research using in‐depth semi‐structured topic‐related interviews with six (6) principals each from elementary, junior high school and senior high school in a division in the National Capital Region in the Philippines. Despite the sudden disruption in education, the principal assumes the responsibility in managing the teacher professional development through employing practices that are temporary in nature suited to the current situation and needs of the organization. First, the principal plans the management of teacher professional development through strategic planning that involves conducting needs analysis and self-assessment among teachers to identify their priority needs. In addition, consulting and engaging stakeholders during planning helps the principal to set clear goals and objectives in managing the teacher professional development. Second, the principal organizes the teacher professional development to coordinate the available resources and planned activities. During the sudden shift in education delivery, online platforms emerge where principal assures that the gap between the learning delivery and activities are being addressed using these platforms. Third, the principal leads the teacher professional development in dealing with changes brought by the pandemic. Leading enables the principal to focus on innovative practices in the content, delivery, and design of the teacher professional development. The principal controls the teacher professional development through conducting monitoring and evaluation.

Published: October 2022

This research aims to test Hecksher Ohlin's theory with a capital-intensive country in Asia, namely Singapore with the research period 1991-2016. The time period was chosen to avoid a significant shock, namely the covid 19 that occurred in 2020. However, taking into account the effect of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the 1991 - 2016 time period was chosen. The data used and obtained are from the World Bank. We examine the variables of labor, investment, consumer price index and export. This study uses VECM Modelling. According to Hecksher Ohlin's theory, a capital-intensive country like Singapore will export its goods and services which has a positive and significant relation with investment. The research's findings support the Hecksher-Ohlin Theory. However, employment is also positively related to investment in Singapore. This is very rational even though Singapore uses a capital-intensive system but still requires manpower. Likewise, the CPI is also significantly positive regarding investment in Singapore, proving that Singapore's production is not only for export orientation but also to meet domestic consumption.

Published: October 2022

This studies objective is to look at China's abnormal return in the event of a tariff war between the US and China. Data categories that are quantitative, or that can be expressed as numbers or ratos, are used in this study and uses utilizes auxiliary data sources in the form of historical data from all countries recorded on the data.worldbank.org website. The kind of data used is annual data series and will be adjusted to the factors affected by the tariff war between America and China. The VAR Analysis Model through the ADF Unit Root Test using the variables GDP, Tariff (TAX), and Exchange Rate (REX) in China from 1990 to 2021 is one of the data analysis strategies utilized in this study. We found that China's GDP is significantly positively to the Chinese exchange rate. Both China's own exchange rate and its tariffs are significantly influenced favorably by China's exchange rate. The tariffs applied by China have a significant negative correlation, which means that the increase in China's tariffs injures China's own economy. However, the rate at which the Chinese currency is exchanged and tariffs in China are significantly positively correlated. The trade war with the USA is not only bad for the global economy but also bad for the Chinese economy. And likely get a detrimental effect into the US economy.

This paper is dedicated to study some properties of finite groups, where we present the following results: 1) If all centralizers of a group G are cyclic, then G is not simple. 2) If the center of the subgroup A is not trivial and B is cyclic, then G=AB is not simple. On the other hand, we define the m-solvable groups, and we examine some of their elementary properties.
Loneliness in Aotearoa
Authors: Fergusson Melissa
Published: October 2022

Loneliness is a severe problem in New Zealand and most prevalent among the young, namely Generation Z. In March 2020, New Zealand went into lockdown due to Covid-19, and there was a spike in young people indicating loneliness as an issue. This age group experienced feeling the loneliest.

The experience of loneliness is subjective for all individuals; however, feeling lonely relates to broader and shared social, economic, political, and environmental issues. As we have recently become regular social media users and have more screen time, disconnection and lack of deep human relationships and social connections are becoming serious issues for young people. 

It is widely reported that loneliness, social isolation, and living alone have increased the risk of heart disease, stroke, and dementia, leading to depression and death. Promoting social connection is imperative for people and our community’s well-being and health.

This research used documentary as a methodology to explore the thoughts and perceptions of people involved in understanding loneliness to help provide viewers with a deeper understanding, raise social awareness for people experiencing loneliness, and reduce the impact of being lonely. 

The ‘Loneliness in Aotearoa’ documentary indicates that New Zealand’s young people are currently suggesting that they are more lonely than other generations, and collectively there is a need to take action to minimise loneliness.

In the UK, Tracey Crouch, appointed the first Minister of Loneliness in 2018, stated, “Nobody should feel alone or be left with no one to turn to. Loneliness is a serious issue that affects people of all ages and backgrounds, and it is right that we tackle it head-on.”

In New Zealand, we have not appointed a Minister of Loneliness yet. There is the; question do we need one?
Epidemiological burden, risk factors, and recent therapeutic advances in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Authors: Loganathan Ayilya , Abdul Nazeer
Published: October 2022

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive disease that is certainly preventable and treatable and is caused due to the continuous exposure to noxious substances and toxic gases and is characterized by airflow limitation and chronic inflammation in the lungs coupled with persistent symptoms in the respiratory tract leading to obstructive bronchiolitis and parenchymal emphysema. The incidence and progression of COPD is a complicated pathological phenomenon and the overall severity is due to its exacerbations and comorbidities in individuals. Further, COPD is a major contributor to the global years of life lost and by 2030 it would be the third leading causes of mortality in the world. Also, knowledge on COPD, its associated conditions and the clinical understanding of the disease date back to the 16th century. The prevalence, morbidity and mortality may vary across the globe based on their exposure to smoking, tobacco, occupational pollutants, indoor pollution, outdoor air pollution, gender, age and genetic inheritance. Considering the continuous exposure to toxic substances and aging of the general population, the burden and prevalence of COPD are estimated to increase substantially in the coming years. Furthermore, COVID-19 patients with pre-existing COPD conditions suffer from severe disease progression and delay in recovery.

Published: October 2022

Aedes spp. are the primary vectors of arboviruses such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. To date neither an approved vaccine nor a drug that can definitively prevent or treat these diseases, vector control continues to be an essential method of disease prevention. Plant-based insecticides are an alternative to chemical insecticides because they are less toxic to non-target insects and degrade more quickly. The Papuan people have used Pangi leaves for generations as a potent natural chemical against head lice and mosquito larvae. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of pangi (Pangium edule) leaf extract as a biolarvicide and mosquito repellent. Fresh pangi leaves were extracted with water by using a blender to pulverize the leaves. One-way ANOVA was used to examine the variance in mortality rates, and the LC50 value was calculated for probit analysis. Dead larvae were identified and counted. In addition to testing the effectiveness of the extracts as biolarvicide, the extract was also tested as potential insect repellents. The findings demonstrated that pangi leaf extract can kill mosquito larvae. The concentration of the extract affected larval mortality. Furthermore, the extract demonstrated its effectiveness as an insect repellent. Pangi leaf extract contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, phenolic compounds, and cyanide compounds, with alkaloids being the most abundant. The study found that there was a direct correlation between the concentration of the insecticide and the number of dead Aedes spp. larvae. The LC50 probit test revealed that pangi leaf extract belongs to the category of toxic substances. Several compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and cyanide, may be responsible for the toxicity of pangi leaf extract. Thus, pangi leaf extract might be established as a means of overcoming numerous health issues caused by mosquito vectors.

Published: October 2022

Infectious diseases remain a global health challenge as result of antimicrobial resistance. The use of natural products has revealed a potential source of alternative antimicrobial agents. The aim of this research was to evaluate the antibacterial activities and the phytoconstituents of Tragia brevipes against pathogenic bacteria. The crude extracts of leaves, roots and stems were obtained using polar and non-polar solvents and the antibacterial assay was performed using agar well diffusion and disc diffusion methods. The results showed that in the leaves and roots, flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, phenols, tannins and resins were present whereas in the stem, flavonoids, glycosides and resins were present. Only S. aureus ATCC43300, E. coli ATCC25922 did not show inhibition zone to all plant parts, P. aeruginosa ATTCC27853 showed the highest inhibition zone compared to other bacteria. It was observed that methanolic extract has a great potential antimicrobial activity, followed by distilled water extracts. The combination of plant extracts showed a marked synergic effect. The two way ANOVA showed a statistical difference in the mean zone of inhibition obtained among bacteria and leaves (f = 2.3478, p < 0.05), roots (f = 2.3478, p < 0.05) whereas stem extracts difference was between solvents and tested bacteria (f = 3.4923, p < 0.05). T. brevipes could be a potential candidate in bacterial infection treatment as a source of novel antimicrobial agents. Further studies are recommended to isolate the active ingredients and investigate pharmacological properties.
Increased CD73 expression is associated with poorly differentiated Gleason score and tumor size in prostate cancer
Authors: Alghezi Dhafer , Aljawher Rasha , Musawi Sada
Published: October 2022

There are few prostate cancer prognostic biomarkers. However, clinical difficulties in distinguishing between aggressive and non-aggressive tumors have been observed. CD73 is a 70-kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked ecto-enzyme that reduces antitumor immunity in mouse models of tumor, particularly prostate cancer. It's believed to be a promising biomarker for predicting the clinical development and prognosis of certain tumor types. Its function in prostate cancer, however, is unknown. This study aims to investigate the hypothesis that CD73 may be used as a biomarker in prostate cancer diagnosis and/or prognosis. Nuclear and cytoplasmic CD73 staining has been evaluated by immunohistochemistry using benign (23) and malignant (75) prostate tissues. The immunohistochemical study showed nuclear and cytoplasmic CD73 staining in cancerous and non-cancerous prostate tissues. Increased CD73 staining was shown in prostate cancer tissues compared to benign prostate tissues. A negative association between CD73 expression and Gleason scores has been observed. However, increased cytoplasmic CD73 staining was significantly associated with increasing tumor size. This finding suggests that CD73 may have a role in cancer development or aggressiveness, indicating that more research is needed to better understand its function and determine whether it might be used as a diagnostic biomarker for prostate cancer.

This viewpoint paper is about rethinking the human resources (HR) strategy in the face of systematic failures in the devolved health sector in Kenya. The paper gives a background introduction of the health sector of Kenya as defined and established by the constitution of Kenya, explains the sharing of functions devolved in the health sector, and explains the history of devolution of the health sector. Under the identification and justification of the study, the paper highlights how specialized skills in health service provision are concentrated in urban centers and emphasizes a lack of inter county transfer of services. The paper further explains the distribution of healthcare service provision, the current management of HR, and the statement of specific problems in Kenya; such problems include outcry from healthcare providers, which is manifested by frequent strikes across the country over issues to do with salaries, promotions, and career development. The viewpoint of the authors is that the seven building blocks of the health sector in Kenya are vital. The six building blocks can be handled by county governments while one block that deals with the management of HR of the health sector should be reformed, strengthened, and handled by the national government, hence the paper proposes the introduction of a health service commission to manage human resource components of the health sector. Finally, boost the Ministry of Health’s effective control of the healthcare workforce by advancing and integrating policies relating to health systems, services

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of simultaneous TAVI and coronary stenting in elderly and old patients with AVAS and CAD at high surgical risk. Methods: The study comprised 121 patients who underwent TAVI. They were assigned to two groups: I – patients who underwent TAVI with simultaneous coronary stenting (n = 30); II – patients with AVAS without severe stenotic changes in the coronary arteries. They underwent only TAVI (n = 91). The in-hospital period and the mid-term results have been studied. Results: The success of simultaneous TAVI and PCI was 100%. There were no intra- or perioperative deaths, acute myocardial infarction, acute brain stroke, or acute renal failure requiring dialysis. During the 6-month follow-up, one patient died from cancer. There were no other serious complications. The left bundle branch block occurred in 23.3% of cases and regurgitation (leakage) on the aortic valve in 6.6% of cases. Conclusion: Simultaneous TAVI and coronary stenting in elderly and old patients with severe aortic stenosis and CAD are feasible and safe. Within the first 30 days after the procedure, there were no significant differences in mortality and severe complication rates between the two groups.
Complications after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical cystectomy for patients with bladder cancer: A propensity score matched analysis
Authors: Riveros Carlos , Elshafei Ahmed , Chalfant Victor , Alam Umar , Balaji K.C.
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in combination with radical cystectomy (RC) is the standard of care for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). We investigated the impact of NAC on postoperative complications after RC in patients with bladder cancer (BCa).
Methods: Using the recently available American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) Targeted Cystectomy database, we identified adult (>18 years old) patients who underwent RC for the treatment of BCa. Patients were then dichotomized based on whether they received NAC. We performed a 1:1 propensity score matched (PSM) analysis based on demographic and perioperative covariates. Postoperative outcomes were then compared between the two matched groups. A multivariable analysis was also performed to identify if NAC was associated with any complication.
Results: We identified 1582 eligible patients: 913 (57.7%) in the group that did not receive NAC and 669 (42.3%) in the group that did receive NAC. Before PSM, patients in the NAC group were younger, had lower American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) scores, had higher rates of preoperative anemia, and were more likely to undergo continent urinary diversion. Similarly, before PSM patients in the NAC group had significantly higher rates of major complications, sepsis, urinary leak/fistula, and intraoperative/postoperative blood transfusion compared to the group that did not receive NAC; however, after 1:1 PSM, we did not find any significant difference postoperative complication rates. Multivariable analysis confirmed that NAC was not associated with any complications.
Conclusions: We demonstrated that NAC does not impact 30-day postoperative complications in patients undergoing RC for BCa.

Introduction: There are no clinical guidelines for the manipulation of chronic indwelling ureteral stents. The goal of this study was to survey, through a simulated case, how urologists initially manage a patient with a chronic ureteral stent presenting with urosepsis.
Methods: An online questionnaire was shared from July 1 to August 31, 2021, through social media (Twitter) and email lists. The scenario described a 50-year-old female, known for a chronic indwelling ureteral stent, presenting to the emergency department with fever, tachycardia, and flank pain. In the scenario, the stent was in adequate position and the last exchange had been performed one month prior. Respondents could choose between treating with antibiotics and keeping the same exchange schedule, urgent stent exchange, or an alternative management that they defined. P<0.05 was considered significant.
Results: A total of 396 participants completed the survey. Responses from 48 countries were collected, with 135 (34.1%) respondents from Canada. Half (50%) of respondents had more than 10 years of experience. Most (79.3%) respondents opted for initial empiric antibiotic therapy, while 16.2% opted for urgent stent exchange. A total of 19 (4.9%) medical specialists completed the survey. Non-urologists opted more frequently than urologists (42.1% vs. 16.2%) for urgent stent exchange (p=0.0111).
Conclusions: This questionnaire allowed us to explore the various managements proposed by urologists in a patient with urosepsis and chronic indwelling ureteral stent. Most urologists opted for initial medical management. Further clinical studies could help determine the necessity for ureteral stent manipulation in urosepsis, and, if present, its ideal timing.

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has become a well-established modality in the management of locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer.1 Leuprolide acetate, a synthetically derived gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) agonist, is commonly used for ADT in men.2 Despite proven effectiveness, the administration of GnRHR agonists is associated with common adverse reactions, such as impotence, hot flashes, and fatigue. Injection site reactions have also been documented, however, are infrequent, with the most common being localized pain.3,4 Here, we report a case of necrotic skin ulceration following multiple administrations of intramuscular leuprolide acetate.
“A Shadowy Sort of Right”: The Ius Necessitatis and Catholic Moral Theology
Authors: Whelan Matthew P.
Published: October 2022

In response to court cases in Italy, Colombia, and elsewhere, in which people and communities have appealed to the legal doctrine of necessity, this essay examines the moral-theological tradition reflection on the law of necessity (ius necessitatis) and its preservation in Catholic social teaching. While it is commonplace in our own day to encounter arguments that Christianity underwrites private property rights, this tradition of reflection understands such defenses as based upon a fundamental misunderstanding of what property is and what it is for, which is to meet the needs of all people, because God gives creation as a common gift. For this reason, claims of need can take precedence over claims of private property; the former does not violate the law but illumines its central purpose. Thus, the aim of this essay is to rearticulate the basic rationale and theological moorings of the law of necessity, as well to show how Catholic social teaching preserves it, especially in relation to what Gaudium et spes calls the common or universal destination of created goods. However, while social teaching continues to preserve the ius necessitatis, this law, and right it attempts to secure, remains a shadowy one because of its complex and oftentimes fraught relationship to positive law.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) constitutes approximately 1% of head and neck tumors. The external auditory canal is the most prevalent site in the otologic area but AdCC developed in a mastoid is extremely rare and seems to be misdiagnosed as benign inflammatory lesion. Because of its neurotropism, it may involve adjacent nerve early and facial nerve paralysis can develop in the early stage. But its diagnosis, especially in the early stage, is often challenging. Our case report describes a case of a patient with advanced unresectable AdCC in right mastoid with persistent peripheral facial paralysis, which was initially diagnosed as idiopathic Bell’s palsy. Clinicians should be vigilant when treating patients with persistent facial paralysis, especially when imaging studies reveals a lesion around facial nerve in the mastoid, because this may indicate AdCC. This case highlights the diagnostic basis, treatment, and outcomes for this case to improve the understanding of AdCC in the mastoid.

Published: October 2022

This study examined the lived experiences of technology and livelihood learners while navigating in the learning process despite the calamities like COVID-19 pandemic and typhoon Odette.  Data were gathered from in-depth interview with participants, focus group discussions, and key informant interview through the interview guide. Transcripts were analyzed using Colaizzi’s method, wherein meanings are formulated through sorted codes, categories, and themes.  Findings revealed three emerging themes on participants’ difficult and challenging experiences which include, uphill battles in learning, learning opportunities, and rise to the challenges.  Meanwhile, two themes were found for the underlying effects of these experiences including, role acceptance and psychosocial discomfort.  Furthermore, three themes were identified for learners’ responses to the challenges in learning process, including actions towards learning, coping amidst adversities, and pillars of strength.  These experiences provided concepts to educators to improve teaching and becoming flexible in designing lessons and learning tasks guided with the learning continuity model mainly designed to teach in the midst of crises. Hence, the Department of Education may spearhead community assessment while in curriculum development to suffice the needs of the learning community and may guide division and school offices in the implementation of their localized and contextualized learning continuity plans.
Bevezetés a szerhasználó nők világába
Authors: Kaló Zsuzsa
Published: October 2022

Az addiktológia tudománya hosszú évtizedekig a férfiakra fókuszált, az 1990-es évektől azonban felismerték, hogy a nemi különbségek fontosak a szenvedélybetegség pontosabb megértésében és a szerhasználó lányok és nők hatékonyabb kezelésében. Ebben a kötetben a nők és a szerhasználat sajátosságainak ismertetése történik meg a legfrissebb nemzetközi és hazai kutatások, valamint a klinikai gyakorlatok tükrében. Mit tudunk a női szerhasználatról? Milyen elméleti modellekben értelmezhető? Milyen kezelések hatékonyak? Mennyire integráltak a női szerhasználatról szerzett ismeretek a kezelésben? Milyen segítő, illetve gátló tényezői vannak a lányok és nők kezelésbe kerülésének? Mennyire érvényesülnek a női szerhasználatról szerzett ismeretek a szakmapolitikai döntésekben? Milyen egyéb, a szerhasználattal nem összefüggő tényezők befolyásolják a szakemberek és döntéshozók ismereteit, elképzeléseit, attitűdjeit? Hogyan kezeli a szakmapolitika az interszekcionalitást és a diverzitást a női szerhasználattal összefüggésben? A női szerhasználatot három nagyobb témakörre bontva érdemes tárgyalni: elméletek, kutatások és intervenciók. Ezt a hármas szerkezetet követi jelen kézikönyv is, amely elhelyezi a női szerhasználatot az addikció modelljeiben és elméleteiben, bemutatja a női szerhasználat jellemzőit, ismerteti egy budapesti várandós szerhasználó nők körében végzett kvalitatív kutatás eredményeit, valamint összegzi a hatékony kezelés és a női szerhasználatra érzékeny szakmapolitika ismertetőjegyeit. Kaló Zsuzsa egyetemi adjunktus az ELTE Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem Pszichológiai Intézetében, az ELTE Kvalitatív Pszichológia Kutatócsoport alapító tagja, az AKUT Alapítvány – a társadalmi integrációért elnöke, a Magyar Addiktológiai Társaság elnökségi tagja, számos nemzetközi szakmai szervezetben tölt be aktív szerepet. Főbb kutatási területei a kvalitatív pszichológiai vizsgálatok, a kvalitatív drogkutatások, a női traumák és a szerhasználat összefüggéseinek feltárása, valamint az új pszichoaktív szerek használatának témaköre.
Vezetők, testületek, felelősség a felsőoktatási intézményekben, különös tekintettel az állami egyetemekre
Authors: Rónay Zoltán
Published: October 2022

A könyv a szerző egyetemi felsővezetőként és a hazai felsőoktatási ágazat irányítására rálátó országos testületek és szakértői csoportok tagjaként szerzett gyakorlati tapasztalatain, valamint többéves kutatásán alapul. Ahogy a kutatás, a megjelentetni kívánt mű is hiánypótló a magyar tudományban és az oktatásban egyaránt. A hazai jogtudományi kutatások csak szűk körben foglalkoznak a felsőoktatási jog területével, ezek is döntően az autonómia kérdéskörére fókuszálnak, átfogó kutatás is csupán kettő valósult meg az utóbbi évtizedben: az autonómia, illetve a fenntartói jogosítványok témakörében. Így tehát hosszú időszak után először jelenik meg a felsőoktatás tételes jogával foglalkozó tudományos monográfia, amely ugyan nem a teljes jogi szabályozást öleli fel, de széles körben vizsgálja a hatályos jogszabályi közeget. A kötet nem csupán a felsőoktatás működése iránt érdeklődők számára jelenthet hasznos olvasmányt, de a felsőoktatásban dolgozók, valamint a hallgatók részére is hiánypótló, egyúttal kiindulási alapot jelenthet további jogtudományi, vezetéstudományi, neveléstudományi vagy akár pszichológiai kutatások számára is. Emellett mind a jogászképzésben, mind a(z oktatási) szervezetek működésével, vezetésével foglalkozó egyetemi képzésekben tananyagként is felhasználható.
4f-metal chlorides effect on electronic properties of carbon nanotubes
Authors: S. Al-Bandr  , A. Al-Otaibi
Published: October 2022

In the present work, the channels of single-walled carbon nanotubes were filled with melts of ZnCl2, CdCl2, and TbCl3 by a capillary method with subsequent slow cooling. The detailed study of electronic structure of filled nanotubes was performed using Raman, optical absorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The obtained data are in mutual agreement and it proves that the filling of carbon nanotube channels with all these salts leads to the charge transfer from nanotube walls to the incorporated compounds, thus acceptor doping of nanotubes takes place. It was found out that encapsulated terbium chloride has the largest influence on the electronic properties of carbon nanotubes.
