Lung Function Tests in Hairdressers of Gangtok
Authors: Gupta K. , Thapa B. , Gupta S. , Sharma S.
Published: January 2024

Background:

Hairdressers undergo extensive and prolonged exposure to a variety of chemical substances present in the air in their salons. Although in low concentrations, the various products used for hair care are harmful as most of these products generate chemical aerosols during different procedures. These aerosols which have irritant or sensitizing effects on respiratory mucosa have been found to enter into the airways.

Aim:

The aim of this study is to assess the impairment of lung function in hairdressers in Gangtok.

Method:

This is a cross-sectional, comparative study conducted on 50 hairdressers and 50 age- and sex-matched non-hairdresser comparison group. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Permission from Institutional Ethical Committee was obtained before beginning the study. A standard questionnaire was used to record the respiratory symptoms. The pulmonary function parameters of the subjects were measured using portable spirometer HELIOS 720.

Results:

All the parameters were decreased in hairdressers and almost all the differences were statistically significant. FEV1 (P = 0.023) and FEV1/FVC ratio (P < 0.05) were reduced significantly. FEF25–75% and PEFR were also significantly reduced (P < 0.05 in both parameters). FVC was also reduced in hairdressers, but it was not statistically significant (P = 0.342).

Conclusion:

Hairdressers undergo exposure to different chemicals in their workplace and carry the risk of decreased pulmonary function.

Backgroud:

Physicians are at a high risk of being infected by coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Methodology:

Our aim was to understand lived experiences of physicians who recovered from COVID-19 by focusing on mental health and psycho-social protective factors through a qualitative study using a narrative approach. A semi-structured questionnaire was outlined referring to literature and seeking experts’ opinions. Telephonic interviews were conducted after fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, and narratives were written and interpreted.

Results:

Mental health concerns identified from the narratives of five physicians are fear of infecting others, feeling guilty of transmitting infection, stigma, loneliness, and worry about complications after recovery. Social support, faith in a higher power, sense of purpose, and resilience were their sources of strength.

Conclusion:

Given the vulnerability and professional commitment to serve people, there is an urgent need to address their mental health needs. Support groups and having interactions with mental health professionals during periods of isolation are some recommendations.

Electoral strategies of Turkey’s main opposition parties during the rule of the Justice and Development Party

This paper aims at analyzing the evolution of the electoral strategies of the main oppositional political parties to the Justice and Development Party, which has been in power since 2002. Assuming that due to the increasing autocratization of Turkey’s political system, the opposition’s options for action remain limited, and any eventual victory depends on the ability to form electoral coalitions, the paper will trace the political path taken by the AKP itself and the political parties opposed to it until the elections in 2023. At the same time, the question will be asked about the reasons for the defeat of the opposition parties in 2023. The basic assumption here is that the internally diversified National Alliance failed to construct a comprehensive programmatic offer capable of attracting voters of the ruling party on a massive scale and at the same time it failed to deliver a sufficiently satisfactory offer to its own electorate.

Published: January 2024

The air pollution process and impact mechanism of megacities located in complex terrain are particularly complex. As a typical megacity in China, Chengdu has unique topographical and meteorological conditions, and its pollution control is difficult. This study systematically elucidated the variation characteristics of six criteria air pollutants in Chengdu between 2014 and 2020. Besides, the PM2.5/PM10 and NO2/SO2 ratios were discussed. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the correlation between air pollutants was carried out. Finally, the collaborative path of carbon reduction and air pollution control is discussed. The results indicated that SO2, PM2.5, PM10 and CO were significantly decreased by 62.9%, 50.8%, 45.5%, and 36.7%, respectively. PM2.5 and O3 compliance rates are very low, and O3 increases with fluctuations. SO2, NO2, CO, PM showed a “U-shaped” seasonal variation, and there was a “seesaw” phenomenon between O3 and PM2.5. The continuous changing trends also found in the ratios of PM2.5/PM10 and NO2/SO2. The results highlight the importance of coordinated reduction of carbon emissions and pollutants in Chengdu. This research can improve the prediction accuracy of air pollution in complex terrain areas under global warming, and improve the understanding of the formation mechanism of air pollution in special terrains around the world.

Published: January 2024

Recently, innovative developments have been made in the rapidly developing field of nanotechnology. However, toxicity due to long-term exposure to various types of metal-based nanoparticles, especially metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, is gradually increasing. The kidney is prone to toxin-induced impairment because it is one of the main organs for eliminating multiple potentially dangerous substances, including nanoparticles (NPs), from mammals. However, the mechanisms underlying cytotoxicity triggered by various NPs have not yet been reported. This review summarizes the various mechanisms involved in metal-based nanoparticle-induced nephrotoxicity, focusing on Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production, which leads to oxidative stress and apoptosis. The mechanisms by which metal-based NPs cause serious side effects in the renal system and the specific toxicity of different types of metal NPs are also summarized.
A Study of Strategic Investments by Multinational Logistics Providers in China.
Authors:   , Zuk Amina
Published: January 2024

This thesis investigates post-investment strategies of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the Chinese logistics sector. Against the background of ever-intensifying globalisation, logistics MNEs cannot afford to neglect China, since the country is involved in the most-frequented global trade lanes. Thus, the Chinese logistics market provides huge opportunities for MNEs to grow their business, although a number of risks and disadvantages threaten their success. In order to strengthen their strategic position, logistics MNEs are required to invest considerably into their networks, technology, processes and, last but not least, their workforce. Furthermore, the Chinese institutional environment with its strict requirements and complex rules creates additional challenges. For example, it was mandatory for logistics MNEs to form a joint venture with a local partner to receive a licence in the Chinese express delivery sector. Other subsectors in the logistics market, such as warehousing and supply chain management, do not require a partnership and therefore can be entered much easier by foreign companies. One of the particularly interesting findings in this study identifies voluntary joint ventures as a suitable vehicle for even financially strong logistics MNEs to further penetrate the Chinese market in a reduced risk setting in order to access the customer and institutional network of the domestic partner. The results of this study suggest that each logistics MNE needs to determine an individual strategy based on its specific strengths and capabilities in order to create a sustainable, competitive position in the vast market of the People's Republic of China.

The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome, depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation in public security workers who work in Minas Gerais. This is a descriptive research, with a quantitative, comparative and transversal approach. The sample consisted of 80 public security officers, male (81,3%) and female (18,7%), including socio-educational agents, military police, prison officers, military firefighters and civil police, chosen at random and who accepted to participate voluntarily in the research. Beck's anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation inventories and Maslach's Burnout inventory were used as instruments, with a descriptive statistic using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. A low prevalence rate of depression, suicidal ideation was found and anxiety among the participants, however the results are not unanimous and considering the employees in a unique way, it is possible to perceive the presence of the psychological sufferings mentioned in a smaller portion of the sample. Regarding the Burnout Syndrome, it was evident that the characteristics of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization showed low prevalence, since work involvement was considered low for most workers, being a factor that contributes significantly to the occurrence of such a syndrome. Despite the prevalence of the researched psychological disorders present low among the participants, the individual analysis shows the prevalence of these sufferings in some professionals, reinforcing that the work stress is experienced in a unique way by each one, being able to evolve to a disorder or be reframed.

Authors: Takemae Natsuko , Mackey Megan , Foshay John
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine the autobiographical memory narrative through which graduate teacher candidates (TCs) identified (1) barriers to learning, (2) Universal Design for Learning (UDL) checkpoints to remove these barriers, and (3) strategies for addressing the UDL checkpoints to remove the barriers. This study explored lived experiences among graduate TCs in relation to (a) UDL training in the graduate teacher preparation programs, (b) barriers to learning among their past experience, and (c) UDL checkpoints’ applications to removing the self-identified barriers to learning. Emerging themes and subthemes indicated that the participants used specific UDL checkpoints to overcoming specific types of barriers to learning in the past experience in K-16 education. This indicates their recognitions of specific types of barriers to learning, identifications of specific UDL checkpoints for overcoming the barriers, and considerations of specific strategies based on the identified UDL checkpoints. Implications for the future study includes having autobiographical memory narratives as a practical learning tool for graduate TCs to put themselves into perspectives of (A) students experiencing barriers to learning and (B) teachers applying UDL checkpoints to removing the barriers to learning.

Published: January 2024

Запропоновано метод оцінки інерційних характеристик. Обґрунтовано необхідність врахування режимних показників гребної електроенергетичної установки при розрахунках цих характеристик. Розрахунок здійснюється на основі аналізу перехідних режимів пропульсивних комплексів електроходів на відповідних маневрах. Встановлені основні показники сигналів управління які забезпечують необхідні параметри, без перевищення перевантажувальних здібностей гребної установки. Виявлено параметри, що впливають на ці характеристики, оцінено ступінь впливу. Оцінено вплив геометричних параметрів корпусу суден на основні параметри розгону та гальмування судна. Проведено порівняльний аналіз впливу довжини корпусу судна на показники розгону та активного гальмування. Поведінка суден з різною довжиною корпуса проілюстровано результатами моделювання відповідних маневрів. Результати порівняльного аналізу показали, що зі збільшення довжини судна на 10 %, приблизно на стільки ж погіршуються параметри, які характеризують інерційність електроходів, але вони залишаються в межах, що регламентовані Регістром судноплавства.

Authors: KÖYCÜ Nagehan Desen , SUKUT Füsun
Published: January 2024

Crown rot caused by Fusarium culmorum (FCR) is a common and important pathogen affecting the cereal industry through grain yield and quality losses. In this study, the effects of epoxiconazole plus prochloraz application and several other applications on disease severity and grain quality parameters including thousand-grain weight (TGW), grain yield (GY), protein (GP), Zeleny sedimentation (ZS), wet gluten (WG) and Grain index (GI), were assessed. The efficacy of epoxiconazole plus prochloraz, were determined in the T1 (ZGS25), T2 (ZGS34), and T3 (ZGS45) growth stages of winter wheat with seven alternative spray programs. These programs were based on (i) the application (SF) of seed fungicide to infected seeds (ii) control without fungicide (non-SF) and (iii) three different growth stages of wheat. The interaction between seed fungicide applied and fungicide application time was significant (P≤0.01) for DS, ZS, and WG. The effectiveness regarding the disease severity, TGW, and GY of epoxiconazole plus prochloraz in relation to FCR wheat showed significant (P≤0.01) changes depending on the application time. The disease severity resulted in lower T1-T2 (9.66%) and T1-T2-T3 (9.91%) stages than the other stages. The highest yields were obtained when the fungicide was applied twice at the T1-T2 stages. DS/TGW and DS/GY were negatively correlated and TGW/GY was positively correlated in SF.

This research explores the phenomenon of Childfree as a life choice, particularly within the context of the 21st century. Despite the increasing number of women opting to live without children voluntarily, society often perceives this choice as a deviation from women's inherent nature. The objective of this research is to examine how the childfree discourse is portrayed in Cretivox's YouTube content titled "Mending Punya Anak Atau Tidak Punya Anak???" (Is it better to have children or not to have children???) from an existentialist feminist perspective. To achieve this goal, the research employs Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis model within a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings of the research reveal that Cretivox frames the childfree issue as an individual's life choice deserving respect within the private sphere, free from judgment. The producer, Cretivox, advocates for childfree content as a means to counteract the social stigma associated with choosing not to have children. This aligns with the existentialist feminist viewpoint of Simone de Beauvoir, emphasizing that women's destinies should not be dictated by biological factors, and they should maintain control over their bodies.
The Right Against Double Jeopardy (Non Bis In Idem) in the Constitutions of African Countries
Authors: Mujuzi Jamil Ddamulira
Published: January 2024

Article 14(7) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966) provides that “[n]o one shall be liable to be tried or punished again for an offence for which he has already been finally convicted or acquitted in accordance with the law and penal procedure of each country”. In human rights law, this is referred to as the right against double jeopardy (non bis in idem). The ICCPR has been ratified or acceded to by all African countries with the exception of Comoros and South Sudan. This implies, inter alia, that African countries must ensure that the right against double jeopardy is protected in their legislation. In this article, the author examines the constitutional provisions of all the African countries to analyse the extent to which they deal with the right against double jeopardy. The author also refers to legislation and case law from different African countries to demonstrate the circumstances in which a person who has been convicted or acquitted may be prosecuted again for the same offence (retrial) without violating their right against double jeopardy. The discussion shows, inter alia, that some of the constitutional provisions on the right against double jeopardy are contrary to art 14(7) of the ICCPR and some constitutions are silent on the right against double jeopardy. However, this loophole is rectified through subsidiary legislation or direct or indirect incorporation of art 14(7) in domestic legislation.
Stimulating Private Investment in Public Infrastructure Through Reform of the Nigerian Legal Environment
Authors: Oluyeju Olufemi
Published: January 2024

A massive infrastructure deficit seriously impedes business growth and economic progress in Nigeria. Given the current fiscal realities, it is apparent that the government cannot solely bankroll such infrastructure requirements. Therefore, the need for private sector involvement in infrastructure development cannot be over-emphasised. However, this paper contends that gaps in infrastructure-related laws are partly responsible for the failure to attract private sector investment into Nigeria’s infrastructure sector. In this regard, the paper seeks to investigate those legal impediments hobbling private sector participation in financing public infrastructure in Nigeria and what reforms, if any, should be made to stimulate private capital flows into the sector. Furthermore, it is argued that attracting private capital into the infrastructure sector requires, among other things, a favourable legal and regulatory environment that is rules-based, transparent, and predictable. It is therefore concluded that private resources could be unlocked by reviewing and improving appropriate infrastructure-related aspects of the country’s legal environment. This article adopts a doctrinal approach; hence, it is based on desktop and library-based or non-empirical research. As doctrinal research, it will rely on an analysis of existing literature on the subject under investigation.
Archimedes’ Constant
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, Nelson Mandela University, Summerstrand, South Africa

In examining the area of a square within the area of a circle whose diagonal line bisects the square into two equal halves of the right triangles; is the diameter of that circle’s area in consideration. Clearly, transformation of a circle determines the ratio of expansion- in relation to its radius given that it is increasing by half. Thus, as the difference of the areas of the relative circles is half of pi; then subtracting the larger area of a circle from its larger relative square which is within its circumference: with that of the smaller area of a circle whose smaller square is also within its radius- results into half of pi minus half. Where then it is easier from such, to deduce the Archimedes constant.while the GDP is projected to increase from $603 billion in 2020 to $15 trillion in 2063. The military spending is projected to increase from $2.6 billion to $33.94 billion, and the trade balance is projected to increase from $15 billion in 2020 to $29.99 billion in 2063. The study concludes that the projected indicators align with the 2063 Africa Agenda and recommends policies that would foster sustainable economic growth and development in Nigeria. By understanding the trends and patterns of these socioeconomic indicators, policymakers can make informed decisions about how to allocate resources and promote sustainable development in Nigeria and beyond

Head trauma is a leading cause of mortality in children in developing countries, often resulting from motor vehicle or motorcycle accidents. The Amazon region, however, presents unique characteristics. Here, one of the primary modes of transportation is canoes, wooden vessels designed for river travel. This paper describes a case involving a two-year-old indigenous child from the Mundurucu ethnic group, residing in the municipality of Borba in the Amazonas State. The child was involved in a collision between two canoes, suffering severe head trauma as the bow of a canoe penetrated the frontal region of the skull.
