Uptake and Barriers of HPV Vaccine by 10-Year-Old School-Going Girls in Kisumu County, Kenya
Authors: Onyango Steve , Orango Omenge , Tonui Philiph , Itsura Peter
Published: October 2024

Background: Cervical cancer is the most common gynaecological cancer and a significant cause of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). It is estimated that 85% of cervical cancer cases are in low- and middle-income countries. Kenya became the 16th African country to introduce the HPV vaccine into its routine immunization schedule. The main hindrance was initially the cost, but even as the vaccine has been rolled out free of charge, we still have acceptability and uptake challenges. Objectives: To determine the uptake of the HPV vaccine by 10-year-old school-going girls in Kisumu County and to assess the factors associated with parental acceptability of the HPV vaccine in Kisumu County, using the Health Belief Model. Methods: We conducted a mixed-method analysis of the uptake of the HPV vaccine by 10-year-old school-going girls in Kisumu County and the factors affecting parental acceptability. The study’s first phase was a cross-sectional quantitative study, where secondary data of randomly sampled 384 girls, ten years of age, was collected from the school registry retrospectively between December 2019 and December 2021. A descriptive analysis was conducted. The results were presented in frequency and percentage. 34 parents purposively sampled for the FGDs. Transcripts were analyzed from the four focus groups in rural and urban Kisumu. Results: The average uptake of the HPV vaccine in Kisumu County was (252) 65.63% (n=384). Only (119) 30.98% were fully vaccinated, while 26.82% (103) were partially vaccinated. 34.37% were not vaccinated during the study period. Upon analysis of the qualitative data from the focused group discussion (FGDs), four main themes emerged as regards the HBM: the lack of knowledge and misinformation about Human Papillomavirus, cervical cancer, and the HPV vaccine, the fear of the HPV vaccine side effects, non-vaccine costs like transportation cost and institutional barriers like availability of the vaccine and proximity to a facility offering the vaccine services. Conclusion: The study confirms that the HPV vaccination uptake is low, especially for the two doses. The study findings indicate that many parents and guardians did not possess vital information regarding the HPV vaccine that would enable them to allow their daughters to receive the vaccine. Recommendations: It is, therefore, imperative that policymakers investigate and verify the efficacy of a single dose of the HPV vaccine and shift to one dose, and also employ other modalities of HPV vaccination campaigns to include door-to-door campaigns. Moreover, vital information regarding the causal relationship between the HPV cervical cancer and the HPV vaccine, and the side effects should be part of the disseminated information to the target groups.

Authors: Tahsin Hamida Sumaya
Published: October 2024

This paper focuses on the local healing practices adopted by women and the women’s healthcare system in a rural area of the Magura district. This paper also investigates the reasons for selecting local healing practices as an alternative to modern healthcare services. Qualitative research has been used in this study to get a comprehensive view of the health care system of rural women. The study found that rural women mostly choose Palli Chikitshaks (Rural Medical Practitioners) for their medical treatment. The penchant for choosing other local healing practitioners i.e., Kabiraj (traditional healers), Mollas and Fakirs (religious healers), and Hakims (plant-based medical practitioners) several factors are responsible for choosing local healers including insolvency, faith, norms of Purdah (veil), economic dependency and lack of decision-making power of women in health care. In addition, the customary reputation, attentive nature of care, good behavior, and lower fees charged by the local healers draw the attention of the rural women.

Politicians are increasingly turning to TikTok to garner voter support, leveraging the platform’s extensive reach and strong appeal to younger demographics. By creating short, engaging videos, they have the opportunity to humanize themselves, communicate their policy ideas, and participate in trending challenges, all of which make their messages more relatable and shareable. The format of TikTok allows politicians to showcase a different side of their personalities, using humour, creativity, and authenticity to build a connection with their audience. Through TikTok’s algorithm, which favours viral content, these videos have the potential to reach millions of viewers quickly, amplifying the politicians’ messages far beyond their immediate followers. This viral potential is crucial in helping politicians connect with voters on a more personal level, as the platform’s interactive features—such as duets, stitches, and comment sections—allow for direct engagement and real-time feedback. Furthermore, TikTok’s dynamic, participatory nature enables politicians to engage with their audiences more conversationally and informally, which can be particularly appealing to younger voters who are less engaged with traditional media outlets like television or newspapers. By tapping into this method, politicians can mobilize and influence voters more effectively, reaching individuals who may not typically follow politics or participate in elections. This approach not only expands their audience but also builds a sense of community and loyalty among followers, enhancing their overall campaign strategy. As digital platforms continue to shape the landscape of political communication, TikTok stands out as a powerful tool for modern political engagement.

Análisis espacio-temporal del proceso de urbanización en la ciudad de Santa Tecla, El Salvador
Authors: Aguilar Metzi
Published: October 2024

This study aims to analyze the urbanization process in the municipality of Santa Tecla and propose a generic methodology with free tools so that the population can monitor the spatio-temporal process of urbanization in the municipalities of the metropolitan area of San Salvador using Sentinel satellite images and the current regulatory planning instrument as a reference. The evolution of the 30-year temporal space (1991-2021) of the five-year urban sprawl of the municipality of Santa Tecla was analyzed using Landsat satellite data and contrasted with current regulatory instruments or reference techniques. NDVI and NDBI indices calculated from Sentinel-2 satellite data and applying a hybrid image classification methodology, conflicts in real land use were identified with high resolution. The study concluded that the process in the municipality of Santa Tecla has been disorderly in the last 30 years, which has suspected the risk for the population, because although there is a legal framework for land use planning, its application has been flexible. A hybrid method of classification based on NDVI and NDBI from satellite images has been used to simplify the manual inspection of the area in a given period of time with an acceptable margin of error.

Authors: Burgos E. A. , Lepage A. , Lequesne R.
Published: October 2024

The behavior of reinforced concrete walls with high-strength steel (yield strength greater than or equal to 550 MPa [80 ksi]) is evaluated. The influence of yield stress (fy) and the tensile-to-yield strength (ft/fy) are analyzed by means of tests on T-shaped concrete walls. Additionally, the effects of uniform elongation (Esu) and fracture elongation (Esf) are evaluated. Two walls reinforced with Grade 690 or 830 steel (100 or 120) (fy = 690 or 830 MPa [100 or 120 ksi]) and with concrete strength of 55 MPa (8 ksi). Test results were compared with previous tests to validate changes in the Concrete Design Code (ACI 318). The data obtained suggest that walls with high-strength steel have a deformation capacity similar to walls reinforced with conventional steel (fy = 420 MPa [60 ksi]). However, the steel must satisfy ft/fy≥1.2,Esu≤6%yEsf≥10% for the walls to exhibit satisfactory behavior.

Modelado de paredes de mampostería confinada: revisión de métodos y aplicación utilizando macroelemento discreto
Authors: Sunley S. A.
Published: October 2024

One of the main challenges assessing masonry structures is numerical simulation. An overview and classification of the current developments and available techniques for nonlinear analysis of confined masonry structures is presented. As an exploratory study, an application of a numerical model using a Discrete Macro Element Method was carried out. It consisted on the calibration of mechanical parameters for representing the capacity curve and damage progression of a confined masonry wall tested under quasi static cyclic load. Then a sensitivity analysis was carried out. It has been found that global behavior is well captured by the model regarding strength and deformation. However, failure mode at confining elements was not consistent with the observed damage. Calibration has been made only for one experimental test; thus, conclusions are only valid for this set of experimental results. It is considered that the Discrete Macro Element Method is suitable not only to reproduce the global behavior of complete buildings, which is its original purpose, but also it may be used to study element behavior with appropriate modifications.

Published: October 2024

Making clear the technological and educational relationship in an investigation, at a distance and in an experimental format, can be the watershed for other investigative documents to be prepared and applied in the same way, taking into account the importance of contributing to what in theory tends to be understood as the phenomenon of the use of technologies in educational settings where the didactic motive is still vague for many and there is an understanding that the use of it will be automatic. Using the experimental design in an investigative process is transcendental, especially in trial and error, as in the present work, where the cooperation strategy between a University, UCA, and a basic level school shows that the new generations can make use of the technological means in a conscious and critical way, above all because the aspect of literacy is improved, which is why this project was born, being that after several years of research there is a meeting space where, as an observatory, students can develop those skills by publishing their own research.

Authors: Maitan Anabele Gonçalves , Cabellino Luíza Fricks , Da Silva Eline Alves , Barbosa Victor Braga
Published: October 2024

Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune dermatosis, is influenced by emotional factors, especially stress, as highlighted by psychosomatic medicine. The disease, characterized by erythematous and scaly skin plaques, has a multifactorial etiology that includes genetic, immunological, and psychological factors. Stress can worsen psoriasis by intensifying the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and exacerbating skin inflammation, creating a vicious cycle. Moreover, the psychological impact of psoriasis is significant, affecting patients’ self-esteem and quality of life, as they often face social stigmatization. Anxiety and depression are common among these individuals, underscoring the need for an interdisciplinary approach that integrates dermatological treatment and psychological support. Effective psoriasis management should address both physical symptoms and emotional factors, including the use of complementary therapies such as acupuncture and psychotherapy. The interaction between the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and skin inflammation reinforces the importance of treating stress as part of psoriasis management. Interventions that promote emotional balance can improve therapeutic outcomes, highlighting the relevance of a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to disease management.

Throughout human history, housing has been crucial for human existence, serving as shelter, a symbol of social status, economic prosperity, and cultural identity. Studying archaeological data from different times and peoples has enabled the analysis of the main stages of the development of one of the fundamental values of human material culture - housing. Housing stands as concrete evidence supporting hypotheses and scientific discoveries, offering insights into the life, culture, and traditions of specific epochs. Its extensive evolutionary journey has been shaped significantly by advancements aimed at optimizing living conditions, influenced by societal norms, domestic practices, and scientific advancements. This ongoing evolution has defined housing's architectural characteristics, including differentiation of family, household, functional planning, work, and communal spaces, alongside spatial and expressive architectural elements. It encompasses the development of individual housing units within broader building and settlement frameworks, encompassing diverse housing types and their typological classifications, as well as applying construction and technical methods. This study examines the distinctive typological groups of housing, characterized by their structural underpinnings. These groups are delineated by key factors influencing the inception of formative architectural techniques, such as the early development of functional-planning solutions rooted in familial and regional contexts, and cultural traditions. Additionally, the article explores the architectural evolution of housing, analyzing how prototype components have shaped the phased development of residential functional-planning structures over time. This research contributes to a broader series of investigations into typological evolution of housing, aiming to deepen our understanding of its transformative journey across different historical periods.

Narratives at the Crossroads: Media Reporting on Suicide in Slovenia in the Context of Socio-political Changes in 1959-1999
Authors: Gomboc Vanja , Borko Polonca , Zadravec Šedivy Nuša , Poštuvan Vita
Published: October 2024

This study examines the representation of suicide in Slovenian newspapers from 1959 to 1999, a period characterised by profound socio-political changes. By analysing 1,785 articles from the archives of two major newspapers, Delo and Večer, we identified a dynamic relationship between the style of media reporting on suicide and the evolving societal context. Our findings suggest a transition from predominantly provocative to increasingly preventive reporting on suicide over the decades. Interestingly, despite an overall trend towards preventive approaches, the ratio of provocative to preventive aspects per article consistently favoured provocative reporting in each period studied. In the early years studied, reporting on suicide tended to be sensationalised, which could be due to a variety of factors, including less informed media practices. In the 1990s, however, a surprising increase in both preventive and provocative reporting was observed, coinciding with Slovenia's independence and the liberalisation of the media. This mixed trend contrasts with worldwide studies, but underlines the link between media, socio-political changes and public perception of suicide. The study highlights the significance of the media, and the challenge of balancing public interest and social responsibility when reporting on suicide.

Published: October 2024

Background : Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder, characterized by intellectual disability, distinctive facial features, and significant autonomic nervous system dysfunction. It is caused by variants in the transcription factor Tcf4. Methods/Observation : We report the first case of PTHS in Morocco, involving a 3-year-old child who presents with the typical features of PTHS, recurrent epilepsy, and a posterior fossa malformation consistent with Dandy-Walker syndrome, along with complete agenesis of the corpus callosum. Standard karyotype analysis and CGH-array confirmed the diagnosis, revealing a de novo terminal deletion of 27.894 kb on the long arm of chromosome 18. High-throughput sequencing is currently underway. Conclusion : Once PTHS is clinically suspected, the diagnosis should be confirmed through molecular genetic testing of the Tcf4 gene.
Keywords : Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome, 18q deletion, Tcf4, de Novo, epilepsy.

Penulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahuipenerimaan usaha mikro terhadap sistempemberian kredit secara kelompok. Untukmencapai tujuan tersebut penulis menggunakanmetode pendekatan yuridis normatif, dengandiperoleh hasil bahwa Program sistem kreditkelompok tidak dapat dijadikan sandaran usahamikro untuk memperoleh pinjaman modal, hal inidisebabkan mereka tidak akan mampu memenuhipersyaratan yang diminta oleh pihak bank yaituthe five C of Credit terutama usaha mikro harustetap menyediakan agunan baik berupa hartakekayaan kelompok, barang bergerak maupuntabungan beku. Sebenarnya kendala kurangnyaatau tidak adanya agunan pada usaha mikro dapatdiatasi dengan berbagai cara, misalnya denganmenerapkan tanggung jawab renteng, ataupenjaminan sebagian oleh pemerintah, walaupunhal ini masih memerlukan kajian yang mendalam.Demikian pula dengan persyaratan untuk adanyapembukuan bagi kegiatan usaha mikro,persyaratan ini sulit dipenuhi oleh usaha mikro,karena sebagian besar usaha mikro dimiliki olehkeluarga yang berpendidikan rendah, padahalprogram perkreditan untuk usaha mikro dari bankpada hakekatnya merupakan pemerataanpemilikan aset dalam rangka memperkuat posisiusaha kelompok mikro agar dapat meningkatkanproduksi dan pendapatannya yang pada gilirannyadiharapkan dapat memperluas lapangan kerja.Kata Kunci: Usaha Mikro, ProgramKredit kelompok
PERTANGGUNGJAWABAN PIDANA KORPORASI SEBAGAI PELAKU TINDAK PIDANA DALAM HUKUM PIDANA INDONESIA

Dalam hukum pidana terdapat tigamasalah pokok (The Holy Trinity) yaitu pertamamasalah perbuatan atau tindak pidana, keduapertanggungjawaban pidana, dan ketiga pidanaserta sitem pemidanaan. Ketiga masalah pokokitu selalu menjadi bidang kajian dalam setiappembicaraan terhadap hukum pidanasubstansial-material.Berkaitan dengan masalah kedua yaitupertanggungjawaban pidana, orientasi studydiarahkan pa da bagaimana pertangungjawabanpelaku terhadap tindak pidana yang telahdilakukan. Tidak setiap pelaku tindak pidanadapat dipertangung- jawabkan, mengingatpertanggungjawaban pidana harus berdasarkanpada ada atau tidaknya kesalahan pada diripelaku. Selain itu juga selalu dihubungkandengan adanya asas ada atau tidaknya alasanpemaaf dan pembenar terhadap tindak pidanayang dilakukan.Dalam kenyataan selama ini diketahuibahwa subyek hukum dapat berupa orang ataumanusia dan badan hukum (legal persoon).Subyek hukum adalah segala sesuatu yangdapat memperoleh hak dan kewajiban hukum.Dengan demikian badan hukum jugamerupakan pendukung hak dan kewajibanberdasarkan hukum yang bukan manusia.Namun demikian dalam masalahÂ pertanggungjawaban pidana selaludihubungkan dengan subyek hukum berupaorang. Menurut Kitab Undang-undang HukumPidana, pada dasamya yang menjadi objekpemidanaan hanya manusia saja, dan dengansendirinya korporasi atau badan hukum tidakdapat dikenakan pertanggungjawaban secarapidana. Dengan demikian dalam hal terjadisuatu tindak pidana, maka sudah jelaspelakunya adalah manusia, sehingga sudah adaaturan hukum pidana yang akan menjeratpelakunya. Hanya oranglah yang dapatdipertangungjawabkan dan dijatuhi sanksipidana sebagaimana terumus dalam Pasal 10KUHP. Sekalipun dalam Pasal 59 KUHP diaturmengenai kemungkinan tindak pidanadilakukan oleh pengurus, anggota-anggotabadan pengurus atau komisaris-komisaris,namun tetap saja pertanggungjawaban pidanaterhadap koorporasi mengarah pada individu,yaitu orangnya bukan organisasi atau badanusahanya. Mana mungkin korporasi atau badanhukum di hukum mati, dipenjara atau dikurungseperti manusia. Dengan demikian, wajarlahapabila korporasi atau badan hukumdikecualikan atau dikesampingkan sebagaiobjek pemindanaan, karena hanyalah manusiayang dapat melakukan kesalahan ataukejahatan.
PERAN BADAN PENYELESAIAN SENGKETA KONSUMEN SEBAGAI ALTERNATIF PENYELESAIAN HUKUM DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM RESPONSIF

Masyarakat Indonesia yang mencapaiangka 200.000.000 (dua ratus juta) jiwabukanlah suatu jumlah yang kecil. Dari jumlahitu dapat dikatakan bahwa sebagian besar darimereka adalah konsumen yang buta akan hakhakmereka sebagai konsumen yang baik.Keadaan ini turut didukung oleh sistemperadilan Indonesia yang masih kurangmenguntungkan. Lahirnya Undang-undangNomor 8 tahun 1999 tentang Perlindungankonsumen diharapkan dapat menciptakankegiatan usaha perdagangan yang fair yangtidak hanya bagi kalangan pelaku usaha,melainkan secara langsung untuk kepentingankonsumen, baik selaku pengguna, pemanfaatmaupun pemakai barang/jasa yang ditawarkanoleh pelaku usaha.Undang-undang perlindungan konsumenini bukanlah suatu undang-undang yangdianggap sanggup merangkum segalakeperluan dan kebutuhan konsumen akan suatusistem keadilan yang fair bagi mereka, namunsetidaknya undang-undang ini diharapkan akanmampu menjadi sumber atau acuan bagiperaturan perundangan-undangan lainnya yangada.Perlindungan konsumen merupakansuatu hal yang cukup baru dalam duniaperaturan perundang-undangan di Indonesiameskipun dengungan mengenai perlunyaperaturan perundang-undangan yangkomprehensif bagi konsumen tersebut sudahdigaungkan sejak lama. Praktek monopoli dantidak adanya perlindungan konsumen telahmeletakkan posisi konsumen dalam tingkatyang terendah dalam menghadapi para pelakuusaha (dalam arti seluas-luasnya). Tidak adanyaalternatif yang dapat diambil oleh konsumentelah menjadi suatu rahasia umum dalam duniaatau industri usaha di Indonesia. Ketidakberdayaan konsumen dalam menghadapipelaku usaha ini jelas sangat merugikankepentingan masyarakat. Pada umumnya parapelaku usaha ini berlindung dibalik perjanjianbaku yang telah ditandatangani oleh keduabelah pihak (antara pelaku usaha dankonsumen).
