Illegal Migration to and from Libya, the Nigerian Factor and the EU: An Agenda for a Resolution
Authors: Ugwukah Alexander
Published: March 2022

This paper takes a cursory and insightful examination of the socio-economic implications of the illegal migration to and from Libya. It aims to provide an interrogation of the underlying causes and exacerbation of the development, its transformation to new forms of slavery and source of income for certain criminal elements, the role of the EU, and how it affects Nigerians and other sub-Saharan African citizens. The paper recommends that the European Union, Nigeria’s federal government, and other sub-Saharan African leadership should endeavor to man their borders very strategically and engage with the Libyan authorities effectively to reduce the illegal migration. Finally, the work recommends that the United Nations Commission for Refugees, International Organization on Migration, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and importantly, more stable governments of the Middle East, especially Turkey and Egypt should intervene in the process to curtail further conflicts in Libya.
Turkey’s Buffer Zone in Northern Syria and Its Impact on Irregular Migration
Authors: Yılmaz Ömer
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT This commentary examines Ankara’s ‘safe zones’ in Northern Syria, as well as elaborating on whether creating safe zones in response to the war in Syria and the subsequent humanitarian catastrophe was a choice or a requirement for Ankara in terms of irregular migration and border security. Turkey has declared multiple safe zones within Syria’s borders, using its right to self-defense under international law, to battle terrorist organizations that have taken advantage of the rising authority vacuum on Syrian land to put Turkish borders and nationals in danger. After an examination of the critical turning points in the Syrian civil war, the paper proposes that the safe zones serve three preemptive and prospective functions by providing a safe haven for the civilian population, by paving a step forward in the counter-terrorism campaign, and attempts to stop irregular migration and finally, by allowing Syrians to return to their homeland.
A More Effective Refugee Policy: Reinvestigating the Socio-Economic Composition of Syrian Refugees in Turkey
Authors: Chang Ching an
Published: March 2022

This paper analyzes the socio-economic composition of Syrian refugees in Turkey and the potential it offers for facilitating the planning of refugee policy. The most severe humanitarian crisis since WWII, the Syrian conflict has already lasted for more than 10 years. Turkey is hosting almost four million Syrians –more than any other country. Given the prolonged nature of the conflict and the slim hope of a quick resolution, various studies and reports have suggested that Turkey should develop a policy of integration. While most of the literature on Syrian refugees has categorized them as homogenous people in need, the findings from this study suggest that the socio-economic composition of Syrian refugees is diversified and can affect the kind of refugee policy that could be implemented. This paper argues that reinvestigating the group’s diversified socio-economic composition could facilitate the planning of an effective refugee policy in Turkey.

Previously, doctors had to treat this deadly disease based on immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridisation-based diagnostics tests information which used to provide limited information. There was always a requirement of a single test/assay which could give all these information in a single assay and without much loss of precious sample. Comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based assays are gaining much importance in treatment decision among clinicians. These present technologies using DNA, RNA, and methylation sequencing have brought a lot of changes in cancer therapeutics. Oncogenic drivers are genomic alteration lead to malignant transformation and progression of cancer. The interpretation of the results of NGS is also very challenging as the results obtained are ‘variants’ are of unknown prognostic significance. Apart from these, NGS helps us in documenting various other genomic signatures such as tumour mutation burden and microsatellite instability. There are now multiple gene panels that are recommended by major international societies such as NCCN, for the treatment of various malignancies. In fact, NGS forms the most important pillar of precision oncology and has brought a paradigm shift in the way major cancers are treated. It is still an evolving field and many times the interpretation of the results of NGS reports is very difficult. NGS-based precision medicine treatment offers true value addition in clinical practice has a positive impact on patient lives in cases of refractory cancer, the role of NGS is the only source of light that helps us in navigating amidst the darkness and hopelessness of a refractory malignancy. In fact, presently not only in refractory malignancies but the role of NGS has come in the management of cancer patients in the first line as it gives us a more comprehensive understanding of the disease. This review article has been written with an idea to make a general practitioner aware of this novel technique, the advantages as well as the pitfalls.

Authors: Soni Krunal , Nayak Sumanth
Published: March 2022

Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is associated with excellent long-term outcomes for isolated patellar chondral defects. A 24-year-old male with a history of road traffic accident 1 month back presented with locking of the knee. An MRI was done which revealed a full-thickness patellar cartilage defect measuring 1.5 × 2 cm with a loose body measuring the same size. Pre-operative planning and evaluation were done and the patient was posted for a two-stage ACI procedure. Staged post-operative rehabilitation protocol was followed. Annual outcome scale included the short form-36, modified Cincinnati activity score, and Knee Society Score and the patient reported excellent scores in all three outcomes scales at 2 years. Magnetic resonance imaging was done at 2 years for detailed analysis of the cartilage repair using Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue (MOCART) score. The patient’s MOCART score demonstrated complete fill of the defect, integration to the border, no hypertrophy, and no effusion.

Published: March 2022

Ambientes hospitalares precisam de refrigeradores hospitalares para armazenar fármacos, vacinas, bolsas de sangue, dentre outros. Tais equipamentos são configurados de forma a manter determinada faixa de temperatura, visto que os produtos armazenados são sensíveis a mudanças de temperatura fora dessa faixa. Este projeto objetiva analisar as variações de temperatura acima do adequado. Nos experimentos realizados foram implementados diferentes técnicas de detecção de anomalias utilizando três métodos de agrupamento: k-means, DBSCAN e Isolation Forest. Levando em consideração a acurácia encontrada (76,7%), o método utilizado foi o DBSCAN. Com a análise realizada, foi possível perceber diversas relações entre os valores de temperatura, quantidade de alertas e os horários que eles aconteceram. Observou-se que a maior parte das anomalias encontradas aconteceram entre às 6:00 e às 8:00 horas da manhã, coincidindo com o horário de troca de turnos entre funcionários.
The Paradoxical Relationship Between Nicotine and SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Systematic Review
Authors: Maliha Majeed
Published: March 2022

Across the board, smoking is considered to be negative toward our health. While this information has been known for a relatively long time, the COVID-19 pandemic has stirred up a controversial idea: that smokers are protected from severe COVID-19 relative to non-smokers. This suggests that smoking is a helpful agent in the evolving fight against SARS-CoV-2, and impressionable individuals are at risk of starting to smoke as a means of protecting themselves from the virus. To address the validity of this claim, a systematic review was done according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PubMed was searched for relevant articles and the results were screened according to inclusion criteria. Our search yielded a total of 81 results and after removal of duplicates, non-English papers, and a quality appraisal a total of 16 papers were included in this review. We found that while smokers were more likely present with a less severe disease due to downregulation of severe cytokine storm, they were overall more likely to contract COVID-19 due to upregulation of ACE-2 receptors which SARS-CoV-2 uses to enter the cells of the respiratory epithelium. Also, long time smokers who develop COPD are more likely to have fatal outcomes from COVID-19 infection. Further, these results were due to the effects of nicotine and not cigarettes themselves. Since cigarettes contain numerous carcinogens, they are not recommended as a prophylaxis for COVID-19. However, we recommend that nicotine should be a topic for further research as potential therapy.

Authors: Cáceres-Durán Miguel Ángel
Published: March 2022

Objetivo. Describir el comportamiento epidemiológico de la lepra en varios países latinoamericanos durante 2011-2020, tomando como base los indicadores de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS).

Método. Estudio transversal, descriptivo y cuantitativo con datos oficiales sobre incidencia y prevalencia en la población en general, niños, forma clínica y casos de discapacidad de grado 2 registrados por la OMS entre 2011 y 2020. Se seleccionaron los ocho países latinoamericanos con más casos y se realizaron análisis de estadística descriptiva simple y comparativa entre las variables.

Resultados. Entre 2011-2020 se reportaron 301 312 casos de lepra en los países seleccionados: Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Cuba, México, Paraguay, República Dominicana y Venezuela. Brasil fue el único con una prevalencia mayor a 1 por 10 000 habitantes y representó 93,77% de casos. En Brasil y República Dominicana se observó un aumento de la prevalencia durante 2011-2019, mientras que en los demás países esta tendió a disminuir. La enfermedad fue más frecuente en hombres, y los casos multibacilares superaron significativamente a los paucibacilares. En Brasil se encontraron las mayores incidencias de casos de lepra infantil y discapacidad de grado 2 durante el período evaluado.

Conclusión. A pesar de que en América Latina la lepra solo es considerada un problema de salud pública en Brasil, la mayoría de los países de la región continúa reportando casos cada año, lo que revela una falta de atención médica adecuada. El estudio confirmó la importancia de la vigilancia activa, el diagnóstico temprano y la planificación de acciones contra la enfermedad en todos los países evaluados, con el propósito de disminuir o detener su transmisión.

Objective.To evaluate, using semiparametric methodologies of survival analysis, the relationship between covariates and time to death of patients with breast cancer, as well as the determination discriminatory power in the conditional inference tree of patients who had cancer.

Methods.A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data collected from medical records of women who had breast cancer and underwent treatment between 2005 and 2015 at the Hospital da Fundação de Assistencial da Paraíba in Campina Grande, State of Paraiba, Brazil. Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method, Cox regression, and conditional decision tree.

Results.Women with triple-negative molecular subtypes had a shorter survival time compared to women with positive hormone receptors. The addition of hormone therapy reduced the risk of a patient dying by 5.5%, and the risk of a HER2-positive patient dying was 34.5% lower compared to those who were negative for this gene. Patients undergoing hormone therapy had a median survival time of 4 753 days.

Conclusions.This paper shows a favorable scenario for the use of immunotherapy for patients with HER2 overexpression. Further studies could assess the effectiveness of immunotherapy in patients with other conditions, to favor the prognosis and better quality of life for the patient.

Authors:   Central Administrative Failure Department of the Road Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Tatarstan, Kazan, 420059 Russia, Labashova E.R.
Published: March 2022

In this article, the problem of compulsory enforcement of the court judgments in cases of administrative offenses in the field of road safety against debtors, both physical entities and private entrepreneurs, is discussed. In accordance with the existing law “On enforcement proceedings”, there are several ways to forcibly claim fines for traffic violations. One of them is withdrawing money from the debtor’s account, which is prompt and most effective. It assumes arranging periodic payments from the debtor’s account and other income. Nevertheless, it is often impossible to recover such receivables from persons evading the enforcement of the administrative court sentence. To prevent this negative phenomenon, a temporary restriction on the exercise of the special right can be used, i.e., suspending the special right to drive vehicles until the full compliance with the executive document is achieved or the grounds for cancellation of this restriction appear. Here, the mechanism of this procedure is discussed in detail and can be defined as the most effective tool for the execution of certain enforcement documents
crítica desde la fenomenología al análisis de la inserción de pensamiento de John Campbell
Authors: Tovar Avendaño Federico Andrés
Published: March 2022

El creciente interés que han suscitado los fenómenos psiquiátricos en el ámbito académico ha favorecido el desarrollo de análisis interdisciplinarios que combinan la filosofía con campos como el de la medicina, las neurociencias y las ciencias cognitivas. Un ejemplo de esto es el trabajo de John Campbell quien ha intentado analizar el fenómeno de la inserción de pensamiento y la constitución de la agencia del pensamiento a la luz del modelo de la copia eferente desarrollado por Christopher Frith y otros neurofisiólogos. Inicialmente, dicho modelo fue pensando para dar cuenta de la agencia del movimiento voluntario, por lo que su aplicación en el ámbito de los fenómenos mentales es un desafío. En este texto se busca hacer una crítica del modelo planteado por Campbell, a partir de algunos de los conceptos centrales en la fenomenología de Gallagher y Zahavi y de la psiquiatría de corte fenomenológico.

Published: March 2022

Bu çalışmada, farklı oranlarda (%0,02; 0,1 ve 1) stronsiyum (Sr) içeren üç adet Al-12Si-Sr alaşımı kokil kalıba döküm yöntemiyle üretildi. Üretilen alaşımların içyapıları metalografik yöntemlerle, sertlik ve çekme dayanımı değerleri ise sırasıyla Brinell ölçüm yöntemi ve çekme deneyi ile belirlendi. Farklı Sr oranları ve kesme parametrelerinin bu alaşımların tornalanması esnasındaki kesme kuvveti ve yüzey pürüzlülüğü üzerindeki etkileri, farklı kesme hızı (200, 300 ve 400 m/dak), ilerleme (0,05; 0,1 ve 0,15 mm/dev) ve sabit kesme derinliği (1,5 mm) koşullarında CVD-TiCN/Al2O3/TiN kaplamalı karbür kesici uç kullanılarak tespit edilmiştir. Metalografik incelemeler, Al-12Si-0,02Sr alaşımının içyapısının α, ötektik alüminyum-silisyum, Al-Fe-Si (δ) fazları ile primer silisyum parçacıklarından, Al-12Si-0,1Sr alaşımının içyapısının ise Al-12Si-0,02Sr alaşımında gözlenen fazlara ilave olarak Al-Sr-Si fazından oluştuğunu göstermiştir. Bu incelemelerde ayrıca Sr oranı arttıkça Al-Sr-Si fazının büyüdüğü ve/veya bu faz parçacıklarının sayısının arttığı gözlenmiştir. Üretilen alaşımlar içerisinde en yüksek sertlik ve çekme dayanımı değeri Al-12Si-0,1Sr alaşımından elde edilmiştir. Alaşımların kopma uzaması değeri ise artan Sr oranı ile sürekli azalmıştır. İşleme testlerinde kesme hızının artması ile kesme kuvveti ve yüzey pürüzlülüğünün azaldığı, ilerlemenin artması durumunda ise bu değerlerin arttığı tespit edilmiştir. Tornalama testlerinde en düşük kesme kuvveti ve yüzey pürüzlülüğü değerleri, Al-12Si-0,1Sr alaşımının işlenmesinde ölçülürken, en yüksek değerler ise Al-12Si-0,02Sr alaşımında ölçülmüştür. Alaşımın işlenmesi esnasında yığıntı talaş (YT) oluşumu gözlenmiştir. YT oluşumunun yüksek kesme hızı ve düşük ilerleme kombinasyonları kullanılarak azaltılabileceği ortaya konulmuştur. Kesici uçta en az YT oluşumu, Al-12Si-0,1Sr alaşımında gözlenirken, en fazla YT oluşumu ise Al-12Si-0,02Sr alaşımında gözlenmiştir. İşleme deneylerinden elde edilen bulgular, alaşımların yapısal ve mekanik özelliklerine dayandırılarak irdelenmiştir.

Authors: Sukarne Sukarne , Nursan Muhammad
Published: March 2022

Low feed efficiency is often an obstacle in duck farming business. The morphology of the duck's beak which is only suitable for muddy habitats causes ducks to be often inefficient in consuming feed in the form of mash, crumble or pellet. Thus, duck mie (a noodle-shaped and earthworm-like duck feed) has been innovated which is the natural food for ducks in their natural habitat (rice fields and swamp areas). The main ingredients for making duck mie are cheap and potential local ingredients, such as; golden snail, rice bran, corn flour and cassava flour. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the provision of duck mie in the ration affects the productivity of Peking ducks. The method used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) using 4 treatments with 4 replications, the research material in the form of 80 DOD Peking ducks with treatment aged 1-7 days given 100% formulated feed. Age 8-14 days adapted to 95% formulated feed + 5% Duck Mie. Age 15 – 56 days given feed formulated according to treatment T0 = 100% formulated feed, T1 = 90% formulated feed + 10% Duck Mie, T2 = 80% formulated feed + 20% Duck Mie, and T3 = 70% formulated feed + 30 % Duck Mie. The data obtained then analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), then tested using Duncan's Distance Test. The research parameters were feed intake, average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and feed efficiency. Based on the study, it was found that the provision of duck mie in the ration did not show a significant effect (P<0.05) based on consumption, ADG, efficiency and feed conversion ratio of ducks.

El presente trabajo es un ensayo experimental a nivel de campo donde se aplicaron diferentes dosis de quelato de cobre y agua ozonizada para el control del caracol manzana en el cultivo de arroz, para lo cual se utilizó un diseño de bloque completo al azar (DBCA), con cinco tratamientos incluido el testigo y cuatro repeticiones. El sitio experimental se ubicó en una finca del cantón Salitre, provincia del Guayas, Ecuador con clima tropical. Se evaluó el índice de mortalidad de los caracoles frente a los tratamientos propuestos. El tratamiento T4, que correspondía a la dosis de 2 L ha-1 de quelato de cobre mezclado con agua ozonizada con 2 ppm de concentración, fue el tratamiento que mejor control de caracol manzana se observó, dando como resultado 94% de mortalidad.
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CENTERS IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
Authors: Sidenko Svitlana
Published: March 2022

The article discusses the preconditions for the emergence and role of international financial centers (IFCs) as key institutions of the global financial market, which at the end of the 20th century acquired the most important function in the accumulation and circulation of international capital, which is closely connected with the globalization of the world economy. It traces the history of the emergence of IFC and analyzes the main trends in their development in the context of economic globalization, in particular their numerical growth, development and enlargement of regional IFCs, strengthening their influence on the development of the base country and the world economy. On the basis of new global trends and challenges of the 21st century, the analysis covers the prospects of IFCs’ development in the emerging information society and, in particular, the use of new financial technologies (fintech), rapidly spreading throughout the world. The study is based on empirical data provided by the renowned Global Financial Center Index (GFCI), which has been published annually since 2007. The article reveals the changing landscape of IFCs, which is determined primarily by the rapid development of new financial centers in East Asia and other regions of the world. The author concludes that international financial centers are playing an increasingly important role in the world economy and its financial sector. They perform their functions primarily through the management of cash and resource flows, cross-border financial transactions involving investors from different countries, structuring financial flows, providing various financial services, and also have a growing influence both on the management decisions of companies and on the management of national economies. In this role, IFCs are taking on the role of a geoeconomic instrument.

This research analyzed the proximity of road traffic crash (RTC) Black Spots to Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) zebra locations/emergency health care facilities to ascertain the rescue of RTC victims in Federal Capita City (FCC). Geographic Information System (GIS) based location model was applied in the street network analysis to identify RTC black spots that are outside the close reach of FRSC rescue points/health facilities in FCC. Distance was used as impedance factor. Spatial query and buffer analysis were employed to determine accident spots that fall between 2 kms of the health facility and zebra point. Remote Sensing and GIS techniques were applied in proximity analysis using location strategies and interconnected features. The results were presented on road network maps. The result suggests that five (5) additional zebra points would be effective in terms of proximity to RTC in the area and would considerably improve spatial coverage for response times. The areas where quick response and medical facilities are insufficient were identified. Optimal locations for siting zebra points that can effectively service RTC black spots were proposed.

Developing conceptual and procedural knowledge or skills of learners is ‘part and parcel’ of the roles of educators involved in teaching science and social science subjects. This article aims to espouse numerous educational reforms implemented locally, regionally, and internationally during the past decades, with exemplars and challenges elaborated. The mixed-method approach is selected as a research framework that includes the collection of qualitative data (mainly from documentary analysis, interviews, observation, and open-ended responses) and quantitative data (mainly from survey questionnaires). This article reports mainly qualitative findings that are summarised from mixed-modes of analysis on data collected through systematic review and ‘multiple-case design’, including ‘cross-case and within-case analysis’ on how conceptual and procedural knowledge and skills of learners could be enhanced through the implementation of various technology-integrated project-based programmes incorporating various effective strategies anchored on hybrid approaches in replacement of traditional methods. Case exemplars are illustrated with how these programmes serve as platforms for basic education and foundation courses from basic to advanced learning among lifelong learners. The analysis of a local programme to promote Year 4 students’ (N = 33) primary science learning using the 5E constructivist model revealed that students were mentally engaged in learning science concepts, interacting with new experiences, and able to correct misconceptions with enhanced conceptual and procedural knowledge and skills on the taught topics ‘Scientific Skills, Life Processes of Humans, and Properties of Materials’ as reflected in their increased mean scores of science achievement analysed statistically. The implementation of the ‘Learning Science and Mathematics Together’ (LeSMaT) student-centered regional learning programme that provided a guide for expected project output is also illustrated with an exemplar of how learners’ conceptual and procedural knowledge and skills in ‘environmental education’ were enhanced through the preparation of the project required for this program. The analysis of social science learning involving building foundation knowledge in economics through an international research-based internship programme revealed that students’ conceptual and procedural knowledge and skills in ‘economics’ were enhanced with the input on research methodology and the need to produce a report, which tied in with theories and the experience of their placements in various business settings that provided real-life experience related to economic issues faced during the pandemic. In the end, the significance and implications of the study are discussed with ideas for how to move forward.
