Aim: Pregnancy complications significantly affect health, making timely antenatal care (ANC) essential for early detection and skilled delivery. Despite WHO guidelines, some pregnant women in Ghana's Offinso North District delay their first ANC visit. This study explored intrapersonal and interpersonal factors contributing to this delay.
Methods: Conducted from October 2021 to March 2022, this institutional cross-sectional study collected data from 397 pregnant women through a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted with SPSS version 20.
Results: Approximately 47% of pregnant women booked their antenatal care late. Key personal reasons hindering early ANC initiation included financial constraints, busy schedules, and insufficient knowledge about early ANC. Interpersonal barriers included pregnant women’s difficulty in initiating antenatal care (ANC) on their own, inadequate support from partners and family, and a lack of information about the importance of ANC in the media. Lower educational attainment (AOR = 1.86, 95% CI [1.13, 3.08], p = 0.016), lower income levels (AOR = 2.42, 95% CI [1.00, 5.85], p = 0.049), lack of knowledge about early ANC (AOR = 0.59, 95% CI [0.36, 0.99], p = 0.045) and busy schedules (AOR = 0.09, 95% CI [0.05, 0.17], p < 0.001) were significant predictors of late ANC initiation.
Conclusion: The study identifies a high prevalence of delayed antenatal care (ANC), primarily linked to educational and income levels, with financial constraints, demanding schedules, and insufficient knowledge as major contributing factors.
Recommendations: To improve early antenatal care (ANC) uptake and health outcomes, targeted interventions such as financial support and ongoing health education through outreach are crucial. Future research should evaluate the long-term effects of these interventions and explore additional support mechanisms.

Capture-Recapture Analysis in Estimating Tuberculosis Notification Rates in Private Healthcare Sector: An Innovative Approach to Disease Control
Authors: Suryanti Suryanti , Ahmed Idris Adewale
Published: August 2024

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading global cause of death, surpassing HIV before the COVID-19 pandemic (WHO, 2022). In 2022, TB claimed 1.3 million lives globally, with Indonesia ranking second in pulmonary TB cases after India and ahead of China. WHO estimated 10.6 million new TB cases in 2022, marking a 0.3 million increase from the previous year. Without proper treatment, TB's mortality rate reaches 50% within the first year (WHO, 2023). The increasing TB burden reflects failures in control efforts, attributed to organizational shortcomings, limited community access to diagnosis and treatment, inconsistent case identification and diagnosis, inadequate drug supply guarantees, and non-standardized TB reporting, supervision, and monitoring practices.
Purpose: The objective of this study is to estimate tuberculosis (TB) notifications using the capture-recapture analysis method.
Methods: This study employs capture-recapture analysis as its methodology.
Results: Patient records from both healthcare facilities initially showed 93 confirmed TB cases. Following detailed matching of multiple identifiers such as name, age, date of birth, place of birth, address, and National Identity Number (NIK), it was found that six patients were diagnosed at both institutions, indicating data redundancy.
To refine these findings and address potential under-reporting, capture-recapture analysis estimated 320 TB cases in the population, significantly higher than reported in the Integrated Tuberculosis Information System (SITT), revealing a 25.98% discrepancy.
 
Conclusions: Capture-recapture analysis in this study offers deeper insights into Semarang City's TB burden and prompts systemic improvements in case recording and management. By identifying reporting discrepancies and advocating for enhanced surveillance, this research supports more effective public health interventions, promising better health outcomes and a clearer understanding of TB's urban impact. This underscores the importance of collaborative efforts and a multifaceted approach integrating advanced statistical techniques and policy reforms to address this critical public health challenge.

Published: August 2024

Sebagai fakta sosial, gono-gini (harta bersama suami-istri) merupakan fakta yang tak terbantahkan. Karenanya, gono-gini, apa dan bagaimananya, harus dianalisis secara sosiologi. Akan tetapi, gono-gini sebagai fakta hukum juga tak dapat dibantah. Maka, gono- gini harus dianalisis secara hukum. Dengan menggunakan dua perspektif dari dua cabang ilmu tersebut tulisan ini menyimpulkan, Ada tiga perspektif teoretis utama dalam sosiologi: struktural-fungsionalis, konflik sosial, dan interaksionis simbolik. Dengan demikian dalam gono-gini ada struktur-fungsional, konflik dan kesepahaman dari suatu interaksi. Sementara, tujuan utama dari kajian sosiologi hukum bukan lain menjadikan hukum berlaku efektif. Semua teori sosiologi hukum mulai dari teori moral, idiologi dan rekayasa sosial masing-masing hendak melihat efektivitas hukum dari sisi yang berbeda. Dalam konteks Indonesia, efektivitas gono-gini dapat dilihat dalam dua sisi: fakta sosiologis dan fakta yuridis. Sebagi fakta sosial gono-gini ini berlaku secara nyata di tengah masyarakat, dan terbukti masyarakat secara inisiatif mampu menyelesaikan sengketa gono-gini dengan cara mediasi. Secara yuridis, kepastian hukum tentang porsi gono-gini tidak ditetapkan secara jelas, tetapi itu dapat dipahami, sebab masyarakat Indonesia memang plural.

The use of e-commerce in trade has had a big impact on Indonesian society, especially in terms of very important legal issues. Legal protection in e-commerce is crucial to protect consumers who make buying and selling transactions via the internet. This development is driven by high demand and acceptance from the public, as evidenced by the emergence of various online stores such as Kaskus, Tokopedia, Bukalapak, Shopee, and Lazada. Rapid advances in technology have changed the method of buying and selling from physical stores to online transactions via the internet. E-commerce, as an information technology innovation, allows consumers to make transactions with just the touch of a finger without having to leave the house. However, the variety of e-commerce platforms available increases the potential for legal issues in online transactions. This research aims to understand how to legally protect consumers and help them if losses occur in e-commerce transactions. The method used is a normative approach, by reviewing literature and secondary data related to consumer legal protection in e-commerce transactions.

Social media, such as Twitter, enable immediate and delayed interaction with a wide audience. Online personas of political figures, such as the X account @aniesbubble, are in the spotlight in the 2024 election campaign, especially in attracting the attention of potential young voters in Indonesia. This research aims to ana-lyze the critical multimodal discourse on X @aniesbubble account in the context of the 2024 election political campaign. The main focus is to understand how multimodal ele-ments are used to shape opinions and interactions with audiences, as well as the implica-tions of using this strategy in cultural and political contexts. This research uses a qualita-tive method with a multimodal critical discourse analysis approach. The main data was taken from the X @aniesbubble account in the time period before the general election until the determination of the election winner. The analysis was conducted based on Norman Fairclough's theory, which includes three levels of analysis: text, discursive practice and social praxis. Additional data was obtained from relevant books, news articles, and journal articles. The research found that the @aniesbubble X account succeeded in creating an authentic and attractive political persona for the younger generation through the use of glocalization and cultural hybridity strategies. The account also demonstrates the dynamic interaction between global and local influences, and is able to convert social capital into economic capital through the active participation of fans. The findings suggest that social media plays an important role in shaping political and cultural narratives.

Published: August 2024

This study investigated the relationship between work environment and teachers’ turnover interventions in government aided primary schools in Kagango division Sheema municipality. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design on a sample of 104 teachers and head teachers. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and an interview guide. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics namely frequencies, percentages and means and inferential methods that are correlation analysis. The findings revealed that, there was no significant relationship between supportive leadership and teachers’ job turnover interventions in Government Aided Primary Schools in Kagango Division, Sheema Municipality, Sheema District. It was thus concluded that work-life balance contributed 31% of variations in the dependent variable, followed by effective mentorship programs which contributed 13 % of all variations in the response variable, and only 5% of the variations in the dependent variable was attributed to supportive leadership. Overall, 49 % of variations in the response variable (teachers’ job turn over interventions) are attributed to supportive leadership, effective mentorship programs and work-life balance. Therefore, it was recommended that public primary schools in Kagango Division, Sheema Municipality, Sheema District should encourage more supportive leadership. This can be achieved through creation of work teams and assigned specific tasks to tackle. By occasionally doing this, public primary schools will improve on teachers’ cooperation which subsequently raises the contribution of the variable on teachers’ job turn-over intervention.

Parliamentary Censure of Ministers in Uganda: A Motion that May not Cause a Movement

The Ugandan Constitution provides for the cabinet office of Ministers. Ministers are appointed by the President of Uganda with the approval of the Parliament. The President assigns executive portfolios to the ministers and they are answerable to him and he can remove them from office at his pleasure. However, upon a gross abuse of office, they can be censured by the parliament. The ordinary implication of that censure intended a removal from office of the affected minister. The aftermath of the censure leaves the President with powers to take appropriate action if the minister fails to resign. The appropriate action is vague. This paper brings to the fore the anomaly by providing situations where the President failed to remove the censured ministers. It argues that the President did not breach the constitution in those instances where he retained the ministers. The paper justifies a parliamentary censure and advocates for an amendment of the ‘appropriate’ clause to give effect to the intent of the drafters of the constitution regarding the removal of ministers in a censure procedure. Keywords: Parliamentary Censure, Ministers, Appropriate action, Uganda
Inhibition of Naja nigricollis nigricollis venom acetylcholinerase activity by kolaviron isolated from Garcinia kola
Authors:   Department of Medical Biochemistry, University of Cross River State, Calabar, Nigeria, Okafor Azubuike Ikechukwu
Published: August 2024

Acetylcholinerase (AChE) enzyme often predominant in cobra venom causes paralysis, respiratory failure and other life-threatening complications, but kolaviron (KV) inhibits brain AChE, showing therapeutic potential. This study attempt to investigate the inhibitory effect of KV against Naja nigricollis nigricollis (NNN) venom AChE activity. The identity and purity of KV compound was authenticated using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. The activity of AChE and its inhibition studies were performed via standard protocol. The chromatographic analysis of KV gave six (6) peaks, which corresponds to its basic components. The activity of NNN AChE was inhibited in dose-dependent pattern, when pre-incubated with increasing doses of KV ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 µg/mL. A maximum inhibition of 90 % was observed at 1.0 µg/mL of KV and half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of KV was estimated at 0.59 µg/mL. The data suggest that kolaviron is a potent inhibitor of snake venom acetylcholinerase (AChE), and its inhibitory activity likely occurs through direct contact, a common mechanism characteristic of flavonoid compounds and may be employed in snakebite treatment. Keywords: Cobra venom, Naja nigricollis nigricollis, neurotoxin, acetylcholinerase, acetylcholine, kolaviron, physical interaction

Utilizing a dataset of 243 penalty kicks from five seasons (2018/2019–2022/2023), sourced from YouTube and cross-referenced with Transfermarkt, we employed a detailed nine-zone goal classification system to analyze shot distribution and success rates. We investigated various factors influencing penalty outcomes, including match stage, home-field advantage, minute of the match, current score, player status, previous score, footedness, and rebound goals. Findings indicated that shots aimed at the center and upper areas of the goal have the highest success rates. It was also found that home advantage considerably enhances scoring chances in both group and knockout stages. This research fills a gap in the literature by providing insights into penalty kick strategies in the UEFA Champions League, offering valuable implications for coaching practices, player training, and analytical frameworks in high-pressure scenarios.

Published: August 2024

Diante das históricas lutas dos povos negros no Brasil, ampliam-se as políticas afirmativas e as discussões sobre a urgência de uma sociedade/educação antirracista. Esse movimento encontra barreiras sistemáticas provenientes da branquitude e do racismo e, nas universidades, especificamente, elas impactam negativamente na formação de professores e profissionais da educação. Insurgindo a essa lógica, estudantes universitários do curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE) aquilombaram-se em 2021, fundando o “Coletivo Mapinduzi”: um grupo de leitura de intelectuais negras, um lugar de afetos, diálogos e resistência. Assim, esse artigo tem como objetivo geral refletir sobre a construção de lugares de promoção da intelectualidade negra a partir da experiência no Coletivo Mapinduzi/ UECE. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, um relato dessa experiência de aquilombamento estudantil que se fortalece na perspectiva interseccional para discutir a formação docente. Os principais achados confirmam a ausência de estudos de intelectuais negras durante a formação em Pedagogia que denunciam um currículo institucionalmente embranquecido. Destaca-se, ainda, a autonomia, ousadia, poder e experiência de vanguarda escrevivida pelo Coletivo Mapinduzi, ao criar e abrir espaço permanente para apresentar, discutir e construir o pensamento negro dentro da Universidade, acolhendo estudantes, em sua maioria, negras/os/es, desejosas/os/es por conhecer e ser intelectualidades negras.

Objetivo: O presente estudo buscou identificar as práticas da Agenda 2030 adotadas por uma Cooperativa de Crédito para promover o desenvolvimento sustentável. Método(s): O trabalho utilizou uma abordagem qualitativa, de natureza exploratório-descritiva, tendo os dados sido coletados por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. As informações coletadas foram analisadas por meio da análise de conteúdo, com a utilização do software Iramuteq para o processamento das informações. Resultados: A pesquisa identificou que a cooperativa possui três direcionadores estratégicos que estão associados a promover soluções responsáveis aos cooperados, a contribuir com o desenvolvimento local e a fortalecer o modelo de negócio da cooperativa de forma sustentável (relacionamento e cooperativismo). Também foi apurado que a instituição financeira tem implementado um conjunto de 16 ODS nos seus serviços prestados ao quadro social. Contribuições: Os resultados apurados indicam que a cooperativa tem implementado um conjunto de ações voltadas para a promoção do desenvolvimeto sustentável, entretanto, sugere-se que a instituição possa implementar atividades que atendessem às condições socioeconômicas de cada município em que a cooperativa possui atuação para assim gerar inclusão e equidade social.

Objetivo(s): A Transformação Digital (TD) tem desencadeado mudanças profundas em diversos setores da sociedade, afetando não apenas a maneira como as organizações operam, mas também como conduzem e percebem as transações econômicas. Assim, utilizando-se da Teoria dos Custos de Transação (TCT) desenvolvida por Williamson (1985) a partir dos conceitos da proposta seminal de Coase (1937), este estudo buscou identificar qual a interferência da eficiência motivada pela Transformação Digital na Teoria dos Custos de Transação. Método(s): Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática de literatura, a partir da base Web of Science utilizando-se da técnica de análise de conteúdo através do protocolo PRISMA. Discussão: Este trabalho reconhece que, na era digital, com tecnologias emergentes e a infindável capacidade de processar grandes volumes de informações, há uma oportunidade significativa de investigar a intersecção da TD com os fundamentos tradicionais da TCT. Nesse processo, identificou-se que o impacto da transformação digital na eficiência operacional dentro do contexto da TCT é relevante, com implicações que vão além da mera economia de custos e alcançam a redefinição de modelos de negócios e estratégias organizacionais. No entanto, é fundamental salientar que a jornada de TD não está isenta de desafios. Ademais, aspectos como barreiras culturais, resistência à mudança e a necessidade imperativa de capacitação e formação contínua são elementos que podem impedir organizações de colher plenamente as vantagens da transformação.

Authors: Nericke Thaina Frelich , Viana Luciane Pereira
Published: August 2024

Objetivo: identificar as ações de marketing de conteúdo e marketing de engajamento efetuadas nas redes sociais de empresas do ramo calçadistas que criaram produtos inspirados no filme da Barbie. Método: pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e netnográfica, utilizou-se como coleta de dados a análise das redes sociais Facebook, Instagram e site das empresas, com análise das publicações e as interações com os seguidores do mês de julho de 2023, datas antes e depois do lançamento do filme Barbie. Resultados: foram escolhidas empresas relevantes na área calçadista, sendo Grendene (Melissa) e Calçados Piccadilly que possuíam collab com a marca Barbie e, Calçados Beira Rio (marcas Moleca e Vizzano) que mesmo sem a parceria utilizaram o rosa que pode ser associado a Barbie. Contribuições: a criação de ações de marketing de conteúdo associado a temas culturais e sociais é um diferencial para as marcas, pois os clientes podem conhecer os produtos e serem incentivados a comprá-los. Contudo, destaca-se a importância dos conteúdos digitais estarem de acordo com o que a marca busca como propósito e com o tema escolhido, pois foi possível notar em alguns casos, que as publicações e os produtos não pareciam estar relacionados com a Barbie. Ressalta-se que parceria com pessoas famosas e digitais influencers, como ocorreu com a Calçados Piccadilly, Moleca e Vizzano, geram mais engajamento digital.
