Published: March 2021

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau tahap sikap dan kesediaan pelajar Tingkatan Empat terhadap perlaksanaan KBAT dalam pembelajaran matematik. Di samping itu, kajian ini turut melihat sejauh mana perbezaan sikap dan kesediaan pelajar terhadap perlaksanaan KBAT dalam matematik berdasarkan faktor jantina disamping melihat kewujudan hubungan sikap dan kesediaan terhadap perlaksanaan KBAT dengan prestasi matematik pelajar. Seramai 132 orang responden yang terdiri daripada pelajar Tingkatan Empat di sebuah sekolah menengah di Daerah Simunjan, Sarawak telah terlibat dalam kajian ini. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kuantitatif menggunakan reka bentuk tinjauan dan soalan soal selidik telah digunakan sebagai instrumen untuk mengumpul data kajian. Data kajian dianalisis menggunakan perisian Statistical Package For Social Sciences (SPSS) versi 23 bagi menganalisis data secara statistik deskriptif dan statistik inferensi yang melibatkan analisis ujian Mann-Whitney U dan ujian Korelasi Spearman rho. Dapatan kajian mendapati bahawa tahap sikap dan kesediaan terhadap perlaksanaan KBAT dalam pembelajaran matematik masing-masing pada tahap sederhana tinggi. Kajian ini juga telah mendapati bahawa terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan antara sikap pelajar lelaki dan pelajar perempuan. Walau bagaimanapun, kajian ini mendapati bahawa tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan bagi aspek kesediaan berdasarkan faktor jantina. Sementara itu, kajian ini juga mendapati tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara sikap dan kesediaan dengan pencapaian matematik pelajar. Oleh itu, tindakan berterusan perlu dilakukan terutamanya oleh guru semasa melaksanakan pengajaran dan pembelajaran supaya sikap dan kesediaan pelajar dapat ditingkatkan ke tahap tinggi dan pencapaian matematik pelajar dapat ditingkatkan ke tahap yang lebih baik.

Published: March 2021

Energy-Efficient Vehicles (EEV) are a form of green transportation that minimise carbon dioxide emissions and eliminate reliance on fossil fuels. As an oil-producing nation, Malaysia needs to conserve its resources and alternate its dependence on fuel combustion engines and their toxic emissions. In recent years, Malaysia has set EEV production goals and adopted several policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while meeting the transportation sector's growing energy demands. This study evaluates the current policies and initiatives for EEV and their relevance and implementation in the present scenario. It is worth ascertaining the critical elements that need to be in place for the government to push for the adoption of EEV. This study first reviewed relevant government policies supporting EEVs. Next, a comparative analysis of EEVs initiatives between Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation countries was discussed. Simultaneously, expert panels were consulted through interview sessions to identify gaps in the implementation of EEVs. Based on the findings, the relationship framework of EEVs initiatives and an outline of strategies to improve existing practices were formulated. As a result, this study proposed integrating various agencies and market players as an essential factor to determine the success of implementing EEVs. By way of conclusion, a summary of effective policies is put forward as a recommendation to stimulate the current EEV market. This study sets the stage for policymakers to adopt and improve EEV strategies.

Authors: Hackman Henry , Annison Lawrence , Arhin Reuben , Azumah Bright , Boateng David , Nwosu Blessing
Published: March 2021

Introduction: Klebsiella pneumoniae are among the most common cause of urinary tract infections such as cystitis and pyelonephritis. These multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae are producers of extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) that are capable of hydrolyzing beta-lactams and non-beta-lactams. This laboratory-based study sought to establish the increase of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae in multi-drug resistant urinary tract infections and determine the effective antibiotic treatment options.

Methods: One hundred and seventy five K. pneumoniae isolates obtained from urine cultures were randomly collected and the combined disc synergy method was used to determine the ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae. The Vitek 2 system (bioMérieux, France) was used to perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing of 17 commonly used antibiotics.  The data from the work was collated and statistically analysed using the chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test. P values < 0.05 were considered significant.

Results: Of the 175 K. pneumoniae responsible for urinary tract infections, 73.7% were producing ESBL suggesting that most urinary tract infections caused by K. pneumoniae will be multi-drug resistant. The antimicrobial resistance differences between ESBL-producing and non-ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae indicated a significance difference with p < 0.05. This study indicated that imipenem and amikacin are the antibiotic of choice for the treatment of multi-drug resistant urinary tract infections caused by ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae. Cephalosporins and nitrofurantoin are suitable for the treatment of urinary tract infections due to non-ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae.

Conclusion: This study indicated that imipenem (carbapenem) and amikacin are the antibiotic of choice for the treatment of multi-drug resistant urinary tract infections caused by ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae. The third and fourth generation cephalosporins and nitrofurantoin are suitable for the treatment of urinary tract infections due to non-ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae. Rational use of antibiotics and evidence based antibiotic prescription will help to control the spread of resistance by ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae. There is the need to intensify research in the use of natural products to treat multi-drug resistant urinary tract infections emanating from ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae
Comparative Analysis of Women's Rights and Post-Marriage Nationality
Authors: Ahangaran Sentot , Pitoyo Fitriani
Published: March 2021

In the nineteenth century, a school known as "The Unity System of Couples Nationality" expressed that women ought to obtain the nationality of their spouses after marriage. In different words, the nationality of men ought to be forced on women. In any case, in the twentieth century, a development known as woman's rights developed which prompted the arrangement of a school named "Arrangement of Nationality Independence".

This school supported the partition of marriage and nationality and accepted that women’s nationality ought not to change following marriage. The previously mentioned legitimate schools have had various indications in the positive laws of various nations and some of the time it is difficult to order them into a single lawful school. The lawful frameworks of nations can be ordered into two gatherings: lawful frameworks upholding the burden of spouses' nationality on spouses; lawful frameworks restricting the inconvenience of spouses' nationality on wives.

Published: March 2021

Objectives. To A functioning referral system is critical to the maternal health program, especially in the management of obstetric emergencies. This study explored supply-side barriers affecting the effective implementation of the said service delivery network (SDN) in Legazpi, Albay in the Bicol Region of the Philippines.

Methods. Face-to-face in-depth interviews using semi-structured questionnaires were performed with health care providers involved in the SDN in Albay. Extensive note taking was done by the primary investigator while participants were observed during performance of duties from June - November 2018. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, translated into English, and analyzed thematically along with the observation notes using NVivo. A deductive-dominant approach was utilized for the data content analysis.

Results. Referral system barriers identified were cross-cutting across the different components of the health system such as governance, human health resource, service delivery and information systems. The barriers were further classified into individual, organizational and external-related factors in relation to the SDN. Examples of barriers included lack of knowledge of protocols and guidelines, lack of coordination between facilities, poor data management, inadequate capacity building opportunities, and constantly changing political landscape and policies.

Conclusions. The study is the first to explore barriers to effective service delivery network in maternal health in the country. Findings from the study provide significant insight to areas of improvement in the SDN that must be addressed to strengthen local health systems, especially with the country’s movement towards Universal Health Care where local health systems play a key role.

Published: March 2021

Background. The passage of the Universal Health Care (UHC) Act in the Philippines in early 2019 intensified the need to ensure equitable health investments by the government. Exploring the different criteria and indicators that are used to determine areas that are most in need of health services can help local and national health authorities determine priorities for health investments given finite resources.

Methods. A systematic review of literature on determinants of health equity and other indicators was conducted as pre-work to generate discussion points to the roundtable discussion participated by all major key stakeholders. Shared insights and expertise were thematically analyzed to produce a policy paper with consensus policy recommendations.

Results. Based on the review of the literature and the discussion, indicators (mainly physical inaccessibility and socio-economic factors) for identifying Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDA) in DOH Administrative Order 185, s. 2004 is used to prioritize municipalities for health investments. Review of other policies and guidelines to determine the level of health needs and prioritizing investments yielded to four laddered domains: geographic, population characteristics (e.g., social and cultural determinants of access), health system (e.g., health service delivery), and health status. These domains may provide a more equitable set of metrics for health investment. The Local Investment Plan for Health (LIPH) is the current process used for health-related investments at the local level and may be revised to be more responsive to the requirements set by the UHC Act 2018. Hot spotting to concentrate health services by communities may be a more rapid approach to investment planning for health. Bed capacity as a specific metric in the UHC Act 2018 highlights the need for a review of the Hospital Licensure Act 2004.

Conclusion and Recommendations. To aid in determining priorities for health investments, a comprehensive integrated analysis of resources, determinants, and indicators should be done to determine the need and the gaps in the available resources. Innovative strategies can also be best implemented such as mathematical models or formulas. Lastly, current strategies in the development, monitoring, and evaluation of investment planning for health at different levels should be strengthened, expanded, and harmonized with other existing development plans.

Prévalence des troubles sexuels chez les patients atteints de sclérose en plaques dans la ville de Tlemcen
Authors: BARKA-BEDRANE Zahira , BOUCHENAK-KHELLADI Djaoued
Published: March 2021

Les troubles sexuels (TS) sont fréquents dans la sclérose en plaques (SEP). Les médecins négligent souvent ces signes tabous et potentiellement traitables, alors que leur présence influence d’une manière significative la qualité de vie des patients. L’objectif est de calculer la prévalence des troubles sexuels chez les patients atteints de SEP suivis au CHU de Tlemcen, et d’analyser leur relation avec le handicap, la dépression et la fatigue. Matériels et méthodes - Notre étude est descriptive transversale. Nous avons utilisé le questionnaire sur l’intimité et la sexualité liée à la SEP (MSISQ-19). L’auto-questionnaire était rempli par les patients suivis en consultation de neurologie du CHU Tlemcen. L’échelle EDSS (expanded disability status scale) était utilisée pour évaluer le handicap, l’échelle MFIS pour évaluer la fatigue et l’échelle de Beck pour dépister la dépression. Résultats -101 patients ont répondu au questionnaire. La prévalence des troubles sexuels était de 53,4%. La fréquence des troubles sexuels primaires, secondaires et tertiaires était respectivement de 83,3%, 85,1% et 72,2%.Les scores totaux MSISQ-19 étaient corrélés de manière significative avec la fatigue (p =0,001), la dépression (p =0,000), et l’EDSS (p = 0,0001). Discussion - La prévalence retrouvée chez nos patients se rapproche des résultats de la littérature. Les TS touchaient aussi bien les femmes que les hommes, avec une nette prédominance féminine. La corrélation entre le handicap et les troubles sexuels prête toujours à controverse. La fatigue a également une relation complexe avec la dépression et on peut donc s’attendre à ce qu’elle soit associée aux TS. Conclusion - Les TS chez les patients atteints de SEP sont plus fréquents qu’on ne le pensait. Ils restent encore un sujet tabou, il faut les rechercher systématiquement afin d’améliorer la qualité de vie des patients.
From Bologna to Zoom: The Evolution of the University

Published: March 2021

Created in Europe and spread throughout the world with the West’s rise, the university evolved from a guild-like medieval institution bounded by Christian doctrine to a flourishing, free-market place of ideas by the latter half of the twentieth century. Unfortunately, Glynn Custred informs us, the universities’ more recent transformation into institutions of “political indoctrination” represents a return to the doctrine-bound era of its infancy.

Using the anomaly forcing Community Land Model (CLM 4.5) for crop yield projections
Authors: Lu Yaqiong , Yang Xianyu
Published: March 2021

Abstract. Crop growth in land surface models normally requires high-temporal-resolution climate data (3-hourly or 6-hourly), but such high-temporal-resolution climate data are not provided by many climate model simulations
due to expensive storage, which limits modeling choices if there is an
interest in a particular climate simulation that only saved monthly outputs.
The Community Land Surface Model (CLM) has proposed an alternative approach
for utilizing monthly climate outputs as forcing data since version 4.5, and
it is called the anomaly forcing CLM. However, such an approach has never
been validated for crop yield projections. In our work, we created anomaly
forcing datasets for three climate scenarios (1.5 ∘C warming, 2.0 ∘C warming, and RCP4.5) and validated crop yields against the
standard CLM forcing with the same climate scenarios using 3-hourly data. We
found that the anomaly forcing CLM could not produce crop yields identical
to the standard CLM due to the different submonthly variations, crop
yields were underestimated by 5 %–8 % across the three scenarios (1.5, 2.0 ∘C, and RCP4.5) for the global average, and
28 %–41 % of cropland showed significantly different yields. However, the
anomaly forcing CLM effectively captured the relative changes between
scenarios and over time, as well as regional crop yield variations. We
recommend that such an approach be used for qualitative analysis of crop
yields when only monthly outputs are available. Our approach can be adopted
by other land surface models to expand their capabilities for utilizing
monthly climate data.
Thermodynamic processes affecting the winter sea ice changes in the
Bering Sea in the Norwegian Earth System Model

Published: March 2021

Abstract. The Arctic sea ice has changed largely over the last decades and is expected to change in the future. In this study, we assess sea ice changes in the Pacific sector of the Arctic in an Earth System Model. In winter, the first Empirical Orthogonal Function of sea ice concentration in the Pacific sector of the Arctic based on observations are significantly opposite to that in the Atlantic sector during a period from 1976 to 2004, describing 13.4 % of the total Arctic winter sea ice variability. The similar pattern is also confirmed in the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM1-M) (15.8 %). Thermodynamics is found to be vital to winter sea ice variability. In this study, we analyze the relationships between some thermodynamical processes (congelation ice, frazil ice, bottom and top ice melting, and conversion of snow to ice) and sea ice changes in the Bering Sea, based on the NorESM1-M coupled climate model results. All these studied thermodynamical processes can influence the variability in winter sea ice concentration and thickness in the Bering Sea. Considering the mean seasonal cycle over the 30-year time period, conversion of snow to ice contributes about 69 % to the increase in sea ice mass during winter in the Bering Sea, and it is thus the main source to the growth of the winter sea ice in NorESM1-M in the Bering Sea. On the interannual time scales, winter sea ice concentration and thickness variability in the Bering Sea are highly related with the studied thermodynamic processes. Among these thermodynamic processes, congelation ice shows the most important effect on the simulated variability in the Bering Sea, especially in the northeastern part.
Significant soil degradation is associated with intensive vegetable
cropping in subtropical area: A case study in southwest China

Published: March 2021

Abstract. Within the context of sustainable development, soil degradation driven by land-use change is considered a serious global problem but conversion from growing cereals to vegetables is a change that has received little attention, especially in subtropical regions. Therefore, we compared the nutrient status and soil quality parameters (soil organic carbon [SOC], total nitrogen [TN], C / N ratio, pH, phosphorus [P], potassium [K], calcium [Ca], and magnesium [Mg]) between vegetable fields (VF) and land still used for paddy rice-oilseed rape rotation (PRF) that are typical of southwest China. In the VF, fertilizer application were often several times higher than the crop needs or recommended by the local extension service, thus, the crop use efficiency of N, P, K, Ca, Mg were only 26 %, 8 %, 56 %, 23 % and 28 %, respectively; SOC, C stock, TN, N stock decreased significantly caused by low organic inputs from crop residues and high tillage frequency, and soil C/N ratio decreased slightly; available P (AP) in topsoil increased by 1.92 mg kg−1 for every 100 kg ha−1 of surplus P, and the critical levels of AP and CaCl2-soluble P for P leaching were 104 and 0.80 mg P kg−1. Besides, there was a clear trend of soil acidification in the VF. However, increasing concentrations of soil Ca and Mg significantly alleviated topsoil acidification, with the effect increasing over time. Given our findings, we discuss the potential benefits of conservation agricultural practices, integrated soil-crop system management strategies and agricultural technology services for recovering the degraded soil and improving the vegetable productivity in the VF.

The financial crisis of 2007-09 was converted the focus of researchers and regulators toward bank risk-taking and this study is also analyzed the private ownership structure impact on Pakistani bank’s risk-taking. This study selects the all Pakistani private banks for investigation and data is collected from financial statements from 2005 to 2016. Most of the past studies found a negative impact of private ownership structure on bank risk-taking and this study is also indicated the negative relationship between private ownership and bank risk-taking. On the other, non-performing loans are double than the international standards that highlighted the owner’s attention toward high risky investments for high return. Thus, this study suggests that check this relationship with other factors that forced the owner’s behavior toward risk.

Este artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma projeção do financiamento necessário para a ampliação da Educação Infantil em condições de qualidade, atendendo as metas de expansão do PNE, em municípios com diferentes contextos. Para este exercício, utilizou-se como referência 12 municípios da Região Metropolitana de Curitiba. Para a análise do orçamento necessário foi utilizado o Simulador de Custo-Aluno Qualidade (SimCAQ), possibilitando a comparação entre a receita vinculada para a educação e o efeito da expansão de matrículas e da adequação das condições de oferta no financiamento. Os resultados revelam a desigual capacidade financeira das redes municipais de cidades tão próximas e a necessidade de aperfeiçoamento das políticas de financiamento para que o direito à educação das crianças não seja diferenciado pela capacidade de financiamento dos entes federativos.

¿Qué diría Bomberito? Sátira política televisiva y transición democrática en México
Authors: Rodelo Frida V.
Published: March 2021

Los campos de los medios de comunicación y el periodismo han sufrido grandes transformaciones a nivel mundial desde mediados del siglo XX. Diferentes tendencias mundiales han incidido en la generación, importación y reinterpretación simultánea de formatos de sátira política televisiva en distintos puntos del orbe. En México, las postrimerías de la transición política han atestiguado una presencia creciente de programas de sátira política en las parrillas de la televisión abierta y un aumento de audiencias que la consumen y que se informan a través de esta. La sátira política es un objeto de estudio interesante porque la observación de sus cualidades permite entrever las libertades y, por ende, también los constreñimientos a los que está sometida la expresión de la opinión política a través de la televisión en un periodo de apertura democrática. Partiendo del reconocimiento tanto de los mencionados cambios globales como de las condiciones internas que dieron forma al sistema de medios mexicano, así como de la construcción de una narrativa sobre el desarrollo de la sátira televisiva en el periodo de transición democrática, este estudio identifica las principales condiciones de orden institucional y organizacional que en el marco de la transición democrática dieron forma a esta modalidad de comunicación.

En este estudio analizaremos el uso de las nuevas tecnologías para librar una batalla paralela, y no menos efectiva, a la que se desarrolla en los tribunales. Trump, sabiendo que las elecciones de la nueva era de la comunicación digital se ganan en las redes sociales, independientemente de la veracidad o no del discurso difundido, se ha apropiado especialmente de una de ellas, Twitter. Ante esto, las asociaciones de abogados, como la Asociación Americana de Abogados de Inmigración (AILA), han tenido que responder, llegando a su oposición y desacuerdo también por estos medios. Llevaremos a cabo un análisis en profundidad de esta guerra virtual para mostrar que en este nuevo escenario, la comunicación en las redes sociales se está volviendo más importante que la lucha en los tribunales o la aplicación de la Constitución para los Estados Unidos de América.

Authors: Side Moussa , Alla Eby Yoboué Gnamma Honorine , Kakou Behiri Innocent , Adepo-Gourene Béatrice Abouo
Published: March 2021

The growth and size at first sexual maturity of the species Ethmalosa fimbriata were studied in two sites in the Ebrié lagoon: Bietri, a highly anthropized environment and Vitré 2, a reference site. Growth parameters estimated from size frequencies showed that growth in both size and weight was faster in females than in males regardless of habitat. On the other hand, specimens from Biétri bay have a slower growth rate than those from Vitré 2. In Bietri bay, individuals are characterized by early sexual maturity. They reach sexual maturity at the age of 0.55 years (about 7 months), corresponding to a size of 6.13 cm for males and 8.42 cm for females; whereas in Vitré 2, they reach sexual maturity at the age of 0.82 years (about 10 months) corresponding to a size of 10.22 cm and 12.94 cm for males and females respectively. These results show that in a highly antropic environment, the growth of Ethmalosa fimbriata is affected and individuals reproduce earlier.
La deuda del tercer mundo y la ecología
Authors: Barraza Ibarra Jorge
Published: March 2021

El punto de partida lo constituye el excesivo endeudamiento de los países del tercer mundo que excede los 300 mil millones de dólares y que representa sin lugar a dudas una bomba de tiempo para la economía internacional.El pago de los intereses de esta significativa deuda restringe la capacidad de los países pobres de disponer de mayores recursos para el desarrollo.En los últimos años castigados duramente por la reducción en los precios internacionales de sus escasos productos de exportación, estos países se debaten en una larga agonía a la que no se vislumbra salida.Los insuficientes ingresos de sus exportaciones y la obligación de atender el servicio de su deuda tienen en serios aprietos tanto a deudores como a acreedores.En alguna medida los países acreedores están interesados en la búsqueda de acuerdos que permitan evitar la insolvencia y al mismo tiempo impedir que se continúen deteriorando los recursos naturales de los países del tercer mundo.
Beppe Fenoglio’s I ventitre giorni della città di Alba – Personal Memory and Reflections on Civil War
Authors: Söding Christoph
Published: March 2021

The article examines I ventitre giorni della città di Alba, one of Beppe Fenoglio’s early texts about the Italian resistance during the Second World War. Largely ignored at the time of its first publication, it rose to fame only in the 1960s. This is strongly linked to the fact that Fenoglio depicts the resistance as a civil war, a rather controversial issue in post-war Italy. He deheroises the partisans and shows the inadequacy of social categories by adopting a specific narrative strategy that focuses on the mundane and the ridiculous.

Is 59,15b-21: a vinda de um redentor
Authors: Silvano Zuleica Aparecida
Published: March 2021

Nos estudos sobre a raiz G’L, que pode ser traduzida por “resgatar” ou “manchar”, “contaminar”, mormente é aprofundada no Dêutero-Isaías, porém ocorre também no Trito-Isaías. Este artigo tem a intenção de analisar exegeticamente Is 59,15b-21, por meio do Método Histórico-Crítico-Literário, por ser um texto do Trito-Isaías, por descrever Deus como o “resgatador do sangue” do seu povo, como um guerreiro, cujo braço poderoso trará a justiça, e pela promessa de enviar um redentor para resgatar o povo e estabelecer uma nova Aliança, porém antes haverá destruição e calamidade. Essas intervenções divinas são consequência da falta de uma mediação que possa exercer o direito e a justiça (cf. Is 59,1-15a).
Evangélicos e conservadorismo – afinidades eletivas: as novas configurações da democracia no Brasil
Authors: Souza Junior Paulo Gracino de , Souza Carlos Henrique Pereira de
Published: March 2021

Neste artigo partimos da hipótese de que a afinidade que atrai evangélicos e conservadorismo está muito mais ligada às condições discursivas que engendram os sujeitos e suas subjetividades, do que as características intrínsecas à teologia cristã ou, especificamente, evangélica pentecostal. Com isso não queremos dizer que conformações teológicas específicas não ensejaram discursos religiosos regressivos, que a maioria de nós classificaria como conservador. Assim, chamamos a atenção, tanto para o caráter relacional, posicional das identidades evangélicas, que engendram o discurso conservador, quanto para a base material deste discurso, ligando, portanto, sujeitos e formas de sujeição e subjetivação. Interessam-nos, as formas políticas em que se precipitarão os antagonismos articulados a partir dos grupos de identidade evangélica, bem como os deslocamentos na base material destes sujeitos, que possibilitam o engendramento de subjetividades atomizadas e refratárias a solidariedades coletivas exógenas a sua comunidade.  Defenderemos que, embora evangélicos tenham ganhado relevo no espaço público por pautas reativas à ampliação de direitos de minorias, tais ações não se devem unicamente a aspectos intrínsecos à teologia pentecostal, ou ao seu caráter alienante ou irracional, mas, principalmente a forma como se posicionam no jogo político nacional, ou melhor, como se publicizaram, bem como a forma como o discurso de fundo conservador é acionado como estratégia de sobrevivência nas grandes cidades.

Protest March Restrictions in Cameroon
Authors: Billa Robert Nanche
Published: March 2021

Southern Cameroonians stage protest marches because of their low or negative social status identity comparative to their French-speaking compatriot. This produces a negative perception of themselves: that of a marginalized people which is a negative or a low social identity. Accordingly, they try to change this situation by mobilizing their members for a protest march as it was on the 22nd September and 1st October, 2017 and their clamor for absolute independence is much clearer today than before. They have therefore constructed a collective identity with a common goal and an emotional bond of organizing protest marches, lockdowns and executing the weekly ghost towns among other. The shared goal of the Anglophone is different from that of the Francophone while one is protesting against the form of state and the protection of their English culture, the other is protesting against a change of government or better governance. In each protest, law enforcement officers brutalized, injured, harassed, seized and destroyed their phones, barred some from joining the demonstrations and dispersed them ruthlessly by violently repressing them, using teargas as well as shooting live bullets on the crowds. While southern Cameroonians share a collective identity and massively organize protest marches, their French-speaking compatriots have conflicting interests and low protest march participation.
Self-Study Research: Challenges and Opportunities in Teacher Education
Authors: Hauge Kåre
Published: March 2021

This article aims to describe what self-study research is, why self-study can be a good approach to teacher educators’ professional development and improvements in practice and highlight some challenges and opportunities in this research approach. In addition, the article will shed light on some methodological aspects related to self-study. Self-study refers to teacher educators who in an intentionally and systematically way examine their practice to improve it, based on a deeper understanding of practice, as well as the context practice takes place. In the article, I argue that engaging in self-study is a learning and development process and an approach to developing personal professionalism, collective professionalism and improvements in practice.
Clinical Aspects of Moyamoya Disease
Authors: Manorenj Sandhya , Sultana Shaik Reshma
Published: March 2021

Moyamoya disease is a chronic progressive, non-atherosclerotic, occlusive intracranial vasculopathy involving major cerebral arteries around the circle of Willis. MMD occurs frequently in East Asian populations but the disease can affect the American and European ethnicities as well. Knowledge of clinical aspects of Moyamoya disease (MMD) is important in view of distinctive clinical presentation observed in children and adults. MMD has bimodal age of distribution, with peaks in the first and last decades of life. Childhood MMD is characterised by Ischemic manifestation (Transient ischemic attack, Cerebral Infarction), whereas adult MMD presents with hemorrhagic manifestations (Intracerebral haemorrhage, Intraventricular bleed). Refractory headache, seizure and ophthalmological abnormalities are other clinical presentations of MMD. A high index of clinical suspicion and an eye to recognise the common as well as unusual manifestations of the disease and inciting events may prevent delay in the diagnosis. A thorough knowledge about the varied clinical presentation would aid clinician for early diagnosis and management of this rare entity. The present article provides extensive review on the clinical aspects of MMD amongst adults and paediatric population, on the basis of previous articles and research studies.
COVID-19 Researches: Where India Stands So Far?
Authors: Srivastava Nikhil , Chaubey Gyaneshwer
Published: March 2021

By the end of the year 2019, in the month of November first pneumonia-like case of COVID-19 was detected in an individual aged 55 years in the Hubei Province of Central China. However the ‘patient zero’ or the first patient contracted with the disease is still unknown, but it is speculated that first contraction with virus occurred in Wuhan province of China. The rate by which the number of cases of the disease surged in China was remarkable and by the mid of January 2020 cases begin to appear in different parts of the world. WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the end of January 2020. Researchers from different parts of the world continue to study the pathogenesis and spread pattern of this disease. This chapter emphasizes upon some of the prominent studies in the field of COVID-19 researches from India. It also focuses upon the ACE2 gene polymorphism which has decreased the susceptibility against the virus amongst human population, and explains how at the molecular level ACE2 receptor concentration may affect the entry of the virus into the host cell. It also highlights the impact of the viral RNA on mitochondrial machinery of the host cell and how it instigates a pro-inflammatory response by declining the efficiency of immune system in whole. We also aim to highlight two potential drug candidates of COVID-19 and how these are performing against the virus according to several studies.
