Surgical site infections (SSIs) pose severe burden in healthcare, specially in laparoscopic surgeries. It,s the leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.  The reason to improve this strategy is to enhance SAP practices for laparoscopic surgery by evaluating different antibiotics    prophylaxis. Conducting a thorough examination on the basis of vast studies results in effective SAP implications to rule out laparoscopic surgeries leading to reduce SSI effort and safety of patient. Our research put great significance on customized approaches to SAP. In addition to SAP,various factors such as the kind of procedure, patient-specific risks, antimicrobial resistance and other preventive measures,such as surgical site antiseptics and glycemic control, RCS is also important in preventing SSIs.  In addition to SAP, surgical techniques, postoperative care, and  stewardship after administration outside the operative suite are needed. High-quality studies in diverse populations and development of standardized SAP protocols are warranted to optimize patient outcomes. To sum up this discussion , this chronological review gives esteemed awareness into improving SAP procedures for laparoscopic surgery. By amalgamating evidence-based guidelines and promoting effective antibiotic management , physicians and surgeons can contribute to reducing SSIs and ameliorate patient safety worldwide.
Electoral Politics: Democracy and Electoral Security in Nigeria
Authors: Idowu Olusegun Oladele
Published: May 2024

Democracy in Nigeria has been fragile and fluctuating since independence as conflict, triggered by political rivalries, violence, ethnicity, religion and insecurity, poses a major threat to her democracy. The late Nigerian political scientist and theorist, Claude Ake in 1993, warned that external and elite support for electoral democratisation was not the same as actual democracy. He argued that the substitution of democracy for elections had resulted in a struggle for power at the polls by the elite groups. To this end, the incidences of electoral violence, political competition and insecurity have since become a constant nightmare and a serious source of concern to all actors participating in the electoral system. The cornerstone of democracy is the electoral process, with a viable Election Management Board (EMB) that conducts free, fair, open and secured elections. Electoral security is one of the focal points for a successful and effective administration of the electoral process. The electoral process must be geared towards building citizens' confidence, especially by ensuring that votes are cast anonymously and without coercion, while also making sure that election results reflect the collective will of the voters. With the aid of secondary sources of data, using content analysis, the paper concludes that defending elections not only involves protecting voting units and ballots, but also protecting the functions, resources and technologies that support election processes and which help manage voters and election results in Nigeria. In order to protect our electoral politics in Nigeria, there is a need for an effective and secure electoral process, laced with a credible and acceptable outcome. This paper emphasises on security as a crucial condition in the context of elections, such that it assists in establishing an enabling environment that is conducive to holding democratic polls.
Female Labour Force Participation and Economic Development: Does the ‘U’ Shaped Hypothesis Hold for West African Countries?
Authors: Idowu Omowumi O.
Published: May 2024

Theories show that there is a relationship between female labour participation and economic development, such that as a country transits from informal economy to formal economy, female labour force participation (FLFP) changes. This change and re-organisation of economic activities and the production system have further affected the position of women in the economy. Among the theories for understanding the phenomenon is the ‘U’ shaped hypothesis by Claudin Goldin. This study sourced data from World Bank Data Bank and investigated the validity of ‘U’ shaped hypothesis in 4 selected West African countries based on their gender ratio labour participation ranking. Using fixed effect estimation technique and ‘UTEST’ technique as suggested by Lind and Mehlum (2010), the study discovered that there is no clear evidence of ‘U’ shape in selected West African countries. While there is an inverted ‘U’ shape relationship between FLFP and economic development in Nigeria and Togo, there is no evidence of ‘U’ shape in Ghana and Mauritania. However, analysis on country specific level reveals the peculiarity of each country. This study concludes that there is no ‘U’ shape relationship between female labour force participation and economic development in selected West African countries. It is recommended that governments in West African countries should increase women empowerment and provide family support/child care services for working women.

Medical care conveyance has been transformed by the Internet of Things (IoT's) combination into wellbeing systems, which provides doctors and patients with continuous on-request services. However, this coordination poses questions with respect to the precision of the information and possible security risks. This research expects to present a sharp character the executives structure planned for IoT and distributed computing based personalized medical care frameworks. The purpose is to upgrade confirmation processes while restricting security threats through the double-dealing of multimodal encoded biometric features. The suggested approach incorporates biometric-based continuous authentication together with combined and concentrated personality access strategies. To safeguard patient information in the cloud, it combines electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals for authentication, which is further bolstered by homomorphic encryption (HE). An AI (ML) model was used to assess the system's reasonability including a dataset of 20 clients in various seating configurations. The merged based biometric structure defeated standalone ECG or PPG signal-based procedures in perceiving and authenticating every client with 100% exactness. The proposed framework makes significant improvements to the privacy and security of personalized healthcare frameworks. It fulfills the essential security necessities and is by the by viable enough to run on low-end processors. It guarantees trustworthy authentication and protects against conventional security threats by utilizing multimodal biometric features and cutting-edge encryption techniques.

Authors:   Gaziantep University, Department of Mathematics, Gaziantep, Turkey, Murat Murat
Published: May 2024

This paper uses some logical algebraic elements to extend any ring into a non-commutative ring containing the original ring with many generalized substructures and special elements. On the other hand, we study the substructures of non-commutative logical rings such as AH-homomorphisms and AH-ideals with many examples that explain their algebraic validity. Also, we discuss the possibility of solving a linear Diophantine equation with two variables in the non-commutative logical ring of integers, where we present an easy algorithm to solve this kind of generalized Diophantine equation.
The Acceptance and Refocus on Planning in Procrastination: The Suppression of Past Negative Time Perspective
Authors: Zhang Xinlu
Published: May 2024

The recent affect-regulation (AR) model emphasizes the relevance of context and the diversity of AR strategies, which deepens our understanding of emotional processes. This study, conducted with 228 Chinese undergraduates, aims to support the AR model by investigating the connection between cognitive emotion regulation (CER) and procrastination, as suggested by the temporal mood regulation (TMR) model. The findings discovered a positive correlation between past negative (PN) time perspective and procrastination. Acceptance showed no significant correlation with procrastination, while refocus on planning exhibited a weak negative correlation. Surprisingly, PN acted as a suppressor in the relationship between CER strategies and procrastination. This study highlights the diverse impact of CER strategies on procrastination, providing support for both the AR and TMR models.

Authors: Saye Jamie Lewis , Patterson Tammy M. , Holtzhower Maia , Sylvester Tamara , Hawks Miranda
Published: May 2024

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) periodically updates its Essentials guidelines to evolve nursing curriculum to meet global healthcare demands. The AACN 2021 Essentials outline core competencies that address diverse patient needs and promote safe and effective nursing care. Curriculum mapping is used to align nursing programs with the AACN Essentials. The purpose of this qualitative focus group was to engage faculty in identifying and describing the competencies and sub-competencies of AACN 2021 Essentials Domain Two, Person-Centered Care (PCC), through the application of an interactive activity within a domain team. The interactive activity involved faculty members reflecting on their perspectives by writing down their interpretation of PCC on flower petals. These petals were arranged onto a unified flower display representing the department's view on Person-Centered Care. This exploration occurred during a one-day curriculum mapping at Kennesaw State University Wellstar School of Nursing in North-Central Georgia. Data was obtained using the flower petal activity with a sample size of 24. A thematic analysis revealed that (n = 13) of faculty responded with an action term, 33% (n = 8) of faculty responded with an attitude term, and 13% (n = 3) of faculty responded with both action and attitude terms when describing their perception of the PCC domain. The results indicated that most faculty view the PCC domain in terms of attitudes more than demonstrable action. These findings may be used to encourage faculty to incorporate more attitude-based learning strategies into their courses while adopting the AACN 2021 Essentials.

Background: Half of people with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) have frailty. This study aimed to describe the associations of frailty with cognition, disability and quality of life (QoL) among CLTI patients over 1 year following surgical or endovascular procedures. Methods: A single-centre prospective cohort study was undertaken. Patients undergoing a procedure for CLTI between May 2019 and May 2021 were eligible (minimum age >65 initially; >50 from November 2019). Participants underwent preoperative assessments for frailty, physical and cognitive function, disability, mood, disease-specific QoL (Vascular QoL questionnaire (VascuQoL)) and generic health-related QoL (EuroQoL EQ-5D-5L). Follow-up was at 3 months (clinic or telephone) and 12 months (telephone). Baseline frailty was assessed using both the Edmonton frail scale (EFS) and the clinical frailty scale (CFS). Frailty during follow-up was re-assessed at 3 and 12 months using the CFS as it can be performed via telephone. Associations of baseline frailty with disability, QoL and mood scores during follow-up were investigated using repeated measures mixed models. Results: Ninety-nine patients completed the baseline assessments. Forty-five (45%) were classified as frail by the EFS. Frailty was associated with a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment based on the Montreal cognitive assessment (52% vs 17%; p<0.001). Eighty-seven patients were eligible for follow-up. Baseline frailty (EFS) was associated with worse QoL scores at all timepoints (VascuQoL p=0.001; EQ-5D-5L p<0.001). Both those with and without frailty at baseline (EFS) had modest improvement in QoL scores at 12 months (VascuQoL p<0.001; EQ-5D-5L p=0.001). Barthel index (disability) scores were lower for those with frailty at baseline (EFS) (p<0.001) and decreased slightly over 12 months for both groups (p=0.007). Five patients (12%) transitioned from frailty to non-frailty at 12 months based on the CFS. However, 10 patients (23%) transitioned from non-frailty to frailty. Conclusions: CLTI patients with frailty have worse QoL and greater disability both pre- and post-intervention. However, they demonstrate similar QoL benefit to those without frailty at 1 year following intervention. Baseline frailty assessment is important to inform prognostic discussions, expectations and shared decision making in CLTI.

Published: May 2024

İnsan ve toplumların sosyoekonomik gelişiminde önemli rol oynayan bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin (BİT) çevresel kalite üzerinde de potansiyel etkileri mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada 1995-2018 yılları arasında yükselen piyasa ekonomilerinde BİT, enerji tüketimi, ekonomik büyüme ve küreselleşmenin çevresel kalite üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin araştırılması için yatay kesit ve eğim heterojenliğine dayanıklı panel tahmin modelleri kullanılmıştır. Çevresel kalitenin bir göstergesi olarak kabul edilen CO2 emisyonlarının ülkeler arasında farklılaşması nedeniyle ülkelerin emisyon düzeyleri veriye dayalı algoritma aracılığıyla sınıflandırılmıştır. Yapılan sınıflandırma çerçevesinde, yükselen piyasa ekonomilerinin iki alt kulüp altında toplandığı bulgusu elde edilmiştir. Kulüp 1 için BİT ve küreselleşmenin CO2 emisyonlarının azaltılmasına yardımcı olduğu; buna karşın Kulüp 2 ve panelin tamamında ise çevresel bozulmalara neden olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte hem kulüpler hem de panelin tamamında ekonomik büyüme ve enerji tüketiminin emisyonları arttığı bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Panel nedensellik bulgularına göre, her bir alt kulüp ve panelin tamamında farklı nedensellik ilişkileri olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Authors: Gür Yunus Emre
Published: May 2024

Accordingly, different deep learning and machine learning models such as long- and short-term memory, temporal recurrent units, random forests, artificial neural networks, and K-nearest neighbors are used for CPI forecasting. The prediction performances of the models on the test data were evaluated with RMSE, MSE, MAE, MAPE, and R^2 error statistics.
The results show that the Gateway Recurrent Unit model outperforms the Long and Short Term Memory, Random Forest, Neural Network, and K-Nearest Neighbors models. Compared to the other four models, the RMSE, MSE, MAE, MAPE, and R^2 values performed better in the recurrent unit model. In addition, it has been observed that deep learning and machine learning models can be used effectively in the field of inflation in consumer price index forecasting. These results provide an effective method of CPI forecasting, which is an important component of economic forecasting and inflation management. From an academic perspective, this study demonstrates the applicability of deep learning and machine learning models in economics and finance. In practice, it provides a valuable tool for economic and financial decision-makers and illuminates the way for future similar studies.

Authors: Coşar Eray , Künü Serkan
Published: May 2024

Ekonomik büyüme ülkeler için temel bir hedef olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bununla birlikte ülkelerin ekonomik büyüme seviyeleri önemli farklılıklar gösterebilmektedir. Bu farklılık, ülkenin yönetişimi de dahil olmak üzere bir dizi faktörden kaynaklanabilmektedir. Ülkelerin sürdürülebilir ve kapsayıcı bir kalkınma hedeflediği bu dönemde, yönetişim yapılarının ekonomik sonuçlar üzerindeki etkilerinin anlaşılması önem arz etmektedir. Yönetişim göstergelerinin sosyal ve ekonomik hayat üzerindeki etkisinin öneminden hareketle ortaya çıkan bu çalışmada, yönetişim göstergelerinin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Yönetişim göstergelerini temsilen hükümetin etkinliği, yolsuzluğun kontrolü, politik istikrar ve şiddetin -terörizmin yokluğu, düzenleyici kalite, hukukun üstünlüğü, ifade özgürlüğü ve hesap verebilirlik değişkenlerinin kullanıldığı çalışmada her bir göstergenin etkisi ayrı ayrı araştırılmıştır. Çalışma 2002 – 2020 yılları kapsamındaki veriler ile 38 OECD üyesi ülke için panel veri yöntemleri ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda yönetişim göstergelerinin büyüme üzerinde önemli ölçüde etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Değişkenler bazında incelendiğinde ise büyüme üzerinde etkisi en yüksek olan yönetişim göstergesinin hukukun üstünlüğü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Politik istikrar ve şiddetin - terörizmin yokluğu ile ifade özgürlüğü ve hesap verebilirlik göstergelerinin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkilerinin ise istatistiki olarak anlamsız olduğu görülmüştür.

The study examines the market value effect of liquidity risk of insurance companies in Nigeria. Liquidity risk has caused market value related problems and even insolvencies in the Nigeria insurance industry in the past and it remains a key risk for insurance companies to manage it now and in the future. Twenty seven (27) quoted insurance companies were used in the study. Ex-post facto research design method was also employed while the panel data were sourced from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Statistical Bulletin, Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and Audited Annual Financial Reports of the studied companies from 2004 to 2023. This research adopts stationarity test, cointegration test, and pooled least squares regression test methods. The finding shows that there are significant influences of liquidity ratio, leverage ratio and firm size on market value of insurance companies in Nigeria (p = 0.0000, 0.0019 & 0.0000 < 0.05). This study concludes that there is a significant market value effect of liquidity risk of insurance companies in Nigeria. Insurance companies should have enough cash to meet their obligations both in short run and long run. There is need for regular cash flow modeling, which can project potential liquidity needs from the liability side of the balance sheet. Also, a liquidity-adjusted assets analysis can be applied to asset positions to estimate the cost of supplying liquidity from the asset side of the balance sheet to match those liability cash flow needs.

İnsanlık tarihine bakıldığında günümüzdeki teknolojik gelişmelere her buluşun üzerine bir yenisi daha eklenerek ulaşılmıştır. Özelikle son elli yıldır da teknolojik gelişmeler hayatın her alanını derinden etkilemiştir. Bu sebeple yapay zekâ alanındaki ilerlemeler de teknolojik gelişmelerin dışında tutulamaz. Yıllar içinde yapay zekânın artsüremli olarak ilerlemesiyle ELIZA, PARRY ve Jabberwocky gibi sohbet robotları geliştirilmiştir. İlk ortaya çıkan bu sohbet robotlarında insan ve robotlar arasındaki etkileşimi sağlayabilmek adına istemler (promts) kullanılmıştır. Ancak bu istemler ilkel ve sadece temel işlemleri yerine getiren komutlardı. Fakat ChatGPT gibi gelişmiş dil modelleriyle birlikte istem mühendisliğinde de (promt engeneering) ciddi dönüşümler olmuştur. Artık istemlerin temel görevi sadece komut vermek değil istenilen hedefe ulaşmak, hedefe yönelik çıktıyı elde etmek için sohbet robotlarına rehberlik etmek olmuştur. Böylelikle sohbet robotları hayatın her alanında aktif rol oynayan insanların amaçları doğrultusunda kullanabileceği bir araç haline dönüşmüştür. Çeviribilim perspektifinden bakıldığında günümüzde uzman çevirmenler ve çevirmenlik öğrencileri tarafından da sohbet robotları yoğun bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Fakat istemlerin çeviri amaçlı eylemlerde kullanımının nasıl olabileceği hususunda alanda yeteri kadar çalışma olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada çeviri amaçlı eylemlerde ChatGPT sohbet robotunda yoğun bir şekilde kullanılan istemler anlatılmaya çalışılacak ve “İstem mühendisliği (promt engeneering), ön biçimleme (pre-editing) ve son biçimleme (post-editing) kavramlarına dâhil edilmeli midir?” sorusuna cevap aranacaktır. Bu çalışmada çeviri amaçlı eylemlerde ChatGPT sohbet robotunda yoğun bir şekilde kullanılan istemler anlatılmaya çalışılacak ve “İstem mühendisliği (promt engeneering), ön biçimleme (pre-editing) ve son biçimleme (post-editing) kavramlarına dâhil edilmeli midir?” sorusuna cevap aranacaktır.

This report explores the development of a real-time human-in-flames detection system using a YOLOv8 deep learning model. A carefully curated dataset of video frames depicting human-in-flames scenarios with corresponding bounding boxes was utilized to train the model. We explored various hyperparameter configurations and training techniques to optimize its performance. The model's effectiveness was evaluated on a separate validation dataset not used for training. Metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score were employed to analyze the model's ability to generalize to unseen scenarios and identify people engulfed in flames within video streams. The findings of this project demonstrate the potential of YOLOv8 for human-in-flames detection, potentially contributing to improved fire safety systems and quicker response times in emergency situations.
