Published: July 2020

Introduction/Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine if patient-related factors, such as hospitalization length and preoperative use of walking aids, and geometrical factors, measured with antero-posterior radiographs of hip, affect the risk of hip dislocation after total hip arthroplasty. Methods. A total of 36 of 433 (8.31%) patients with hip dislocation were identified in the institutional registry during a two-year period. The data for patients with and without hip dislocation were matched and compared. Results. Hip dislocation more often occurred in patients who had used walking aids before the operation compared to the ones who had not (p < 0.001). Also, a difference in the number of hip dislocations was noticed between the patients who stayed longer in the hospital after THA (p < 0.001). The patients with higher acetabular inclination angle (p < 0.005) and height of greater trochanter (p < 0.001) on radiographs had been more prone to hip dislocation. In addition to this, the ?safe-zone? was not identified in our study (p > 0.005). Conclusion. Several factors which influence hip dislocation were identified in this study: patient characteristics and radiograph characteristics. Both groups of factors require attention and monitoring in future studies.

Published: July 2020

Infections caused by biofilm forming bacteria is of major public health concern because of its association with multi-resistance to antimicrobial drugs and host defenses, leading to chronic and recurrent infections. Here, using Congo red agar method, Kirby-bauer disk diffusion technique and the consensus criteria of the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) and Centre for Disease Control (CDC), we determined the acquired resistance profile of biofilm producing phenotypes of clinically derived bacteria, classified as Multidrug resistant (MDR), extensively drug resistant (XDR) and Pandrug resistant (PDR). Fifty (50) de-identified bacterial isolates, comprising of five different species (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Proteus spp, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were sampled for the study. 64.0% of these isolates were observed to produce biofilms. Isolates recovered from urine samples (50.0%) were the most significant biofilm producers, chief among which was Staphylococcus aureus (15.6%) (X2=0.52; p<.05; P=0.9714). 78.0% of the biofilm producing phenotypes were atleast multidrug resistant (31.4% MDR; 31.4% XDR; 15.7% PDR) (f= 0.40678; df=3; p<.05; P=0.7502). Extreme forms of acquired resistance (XDR and PDR) was more pronounced among biofilm producing strains than the non-biofilm producing strains, and was statistically significant (f=5.0; p=.026336; df=14; p<.05). All Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were atleast multidrug resistant, with the biofilm producing strains of the latter being completely resistant to Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin. As such, it can be deduced that resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs is more pronounced among biofilm producing phenotypes of clinically derived bacterial isolates.

Authors: Manneh Musa
Published: July 2020

The downstream petroleum sector is a key contributor to the Gambian economy with the absence of upstream petroleum exploration. The growth of the industry is highly dependent on ensuring that imported refinery petroleum products are distributed consistently and timely to consumers through an effective and efficient supply chain system as well as adopting innovative marketing programs. This is the ideal situation yearned for by stakeholders of the sector. To this effect, this research aims to explore the perspectives of retail petroleum marketing as well as challenges of petroleum import, storage and sales in the Gambia’s downstream petroleum sector. A qualitative method was adopted for the study through in-depth interviews in a semi-questionnaire format. The study discovered that OMCs downstream marketing strategies, programs and activities shifted from undifferentiated commodity imported refinery products marketing (old/previous marketing scenario) to branded value added services differentiated petroleum products (present marketing scenario) marketing owing to increase in both downstream energy market liberalization and market competition. The study also revealed that industry players face many challenges ranging from inadequate legislation, government interference, limited fuel terminal tanks, supply chain and other operational difficulties, high import duties and lack of subsidy on imported petroleum products. The study recommends that OMCs should develop and implement marketing strategies, programs and activities in line with product differentiation, branding and value added services. This research equally recommend that the stakeholders in the industry should work on the amendments of downstream petroleum legislation, expand the fuel terminal tank storage facility, adopt and enforce national downstream petroleum quality standard in the daily operations and work towards realizing full deregulation in the sector.

Synthesis, characterization and application of iron oxide nanoparticles have received much attention in recent years due to their interesting chemical and physics properties. Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesed by chemical co-precipitation and characterized using X ray diffraction (XDR), Fourier transmission spectroscopy (FT-IR), dynamic light scattering and (DLS). Fe3O4 nanoparticles were successfully removed humic acid (HA) from water. The influence of pH, contact time, adsorbent nanoparticle doses and HA concentrations were analyzed. Maximum HA removal occurred at pH 6 (89.63%), 40 mg.L-1 of Magnetite (88.8%), 0.03g of HA (96.64%) and contact time of 20 min (94.37%). Sorption data fit pseudo-second order kinetics, indicated a chemical adsorption process. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin adsorption isotherm models were applied to describe equilibrium data. Adsorption of HA on magnetite nanoparticles was well described by Temkin model. The maximum adsorption capacity was 128.23 mg.g-1. Fe3O4 nanoparticles were promising potential adsorbents for HA removal from water.

Published: July 2020

The rate of housing project abandonment in Nigeria is alarming and increasing by the day. Housing projects are supposed to be beneficial to both the individuals and society at large as it depicts the level of a country’s development. But the incessant abandonment of these housing projects undoubtedly has some negative impact on the people, real property values, the construction industry and the built environment. This study aimed at reviewing the effects of housing project abandonment with the objective of identifying the causes in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States respectively. The study employed a combination of literature review site visitations, discussions with focal group (occupants and host of abandoned housing projects) and quantitative research approach using Linkert Scale structured questionnaires. The questionnaire were distributed to respondents mainly professionals in the building industry as well as users of abandoned housing project using purposive sampling method. The data collected was analyzed using Relative Importance Index (R.I.I). Findings reveal that 38 causes of project abandonment and 22 negative effects of abandonment of housing projects include defacing the aesthetics of the urban environment, visual defects on the environment/project site; distortions of the landscape/urban planning, structural failure of building, environmental pollution, increased health problems,  threat to lives/insecurity, and decreased economic activities among others. The study recommended availability of funds for project execution, proper costing and appropriate schedule of project duration, transparency in selection of competent and trusted contractors, involvement of stakeholders in project selection and approval, policy of continuity of project by successive administration.

Authors: Kouadio Koffi Eugene , Abrakasa Selegha , Ikiensikimama Sunday S. , Botwe Takyi
Published: July 2020

The geochemical analysis was performed on twelve (12) core samples from 6 wells of different formations (Akata, Agbada, and Akata/Agbada) of the onshore  Niger Delta Basin. The study was essentially based on the results of the Rock-Eval 6 Pyrolysis to evaluate organic matter abundance, quality, and thermal maturity. The Total Organic Carbon (TOC) varies between 0.6 and 3.06 wt% and the Hydrogen Index (IH) of the studied samples ranges from 38 to 202 mgHC/g TOC, indicating predominantly Type III (gas prone) and mixed type II/III (gas and oil-prone) kerogen. This suggests terrigenous and a mixture of marine and terrigenous organic matter deposited in a paralic marine setting. The organic matter is immature to early mature according to the thermal maturity parameter (414<Tmax<432). The well Isan 9 from Agbada (6760 ft) and Agbada/Akata (8680 ft) shows petroleum generation potential of fair (2,5 < S2 < 5 mg HC/g rock) to good (5 < S2 < 10 mgHC/g rock) and poor for the  other wells. The maturation of the kerogen indicates a very early stage of maturation (Tmax= 432°C). The results indicate that the shales from Agbada and the transition zone between the upper and lower parts of the Akata Shales are more shaly and perhaps the more mature part of the Agbada formation can be the potential source rocks of Niger Delta Basin.
Cardiovascular Complications Associated with COVID-19 Infection
Authors: Naji Hassan S.
Published: July 2020

COVID-19 has spread worldwide and caused pneumonia-like illness similar to that caused by SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. Apart from lung injury, coronaviruses cause severe cardiovascular disorders. Studies have confirmed that COVID-19 uses angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor to enter the host cell similar to SARS-CoV. ACE2 receptors are found in various body organs including lungs, heart in kidneys. The most common complication observed are acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute cardiac injury and cardiovascular disorders including myocarditis, cardiac arrythmias and myocardial infarction. It can also cause acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases. Almost 20% of patients progress to severe condition. Patients with underlying cardiovascular disorders have poor prognosis. It is believed that ACEI/ARBS can alleviate the cardiovascular problems in COVID-19 patients. Hence, the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and complications should be carefully considered.

Published: July 2020

Introduction: Following the outbreak and increasing numbers of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Nigeria, healthcare professionals are at the forefront in dealing with the pandemic. Radiographers are among the first line care givers. The study is aim to assess the level of preparedness of the Radiography sector in Nigeria.

Methods: A prospective cross-sectional survey was conducted using self-completion questionnaire. The questionnaire was generated on the 26th of March 2020, using online Google forms consisting of closed and open ended questions. Paired t-test statistic was used to compare the difference between "Before and After" changes in departmental protocols, using the SPSS statistical software, version 20. Statistically significant level was set at 0.05.

Results: A total of 107 radiographers from across the country responded to the questionnaire. Of these, 78(72%) were male and 27.1% female, giving a male to female ratio of 3:1. Following the outbreak of COVID-19, 86% of the respondents report that there have been changes in the departmental procedures. Sixty-seven percent said "No" to the availability of an appointment system, guidelines to reduce human to human contact(57%) and auditing for suspected COVID-19 cases (58.9%). Only 16(15%) of the respondents had received emergency training towards the fight against COVID-19. Of these, 6(37.5%) were trained  in patient care, only 1(6.3%) on emergency response while 9 (56.3%) received training in limiting human to human transmission.

Conclusion: Findings in this study, suggest inadequate preparedness, with evidence of inadequate provision of equipment (Mobile X-ray and Ultrasound machines) for the diagnosis and management of cases in departments and isolation centers. In addition, emergency training on COVID-19 issues is low. The foregoing calls for adoption of urgent and immediate remedial measures.

Implications for practice: This study identify areas of practice that may detract from achieving optimum service delivery and safety during the pandemic.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night Cons and Pros of the Narrative Method and Technique
Authors: Rauf Raad Sabr
Published: July 2020

Most critics tackle Fitzgerald's works thematically, whereas what distinguishes his fictional narratives is his magnificent style, suggestive language and innovative narrative methods and techniques. This is quite evident in The Great Gatsby and other pieces like The Last Tycoon, "The Mountain as Big as the Ritz", the autobiographical piece The Crack Up, etc. Tender is the Night is among these masterpieces which is our major concern in this paper. Yet still, this novel witnessed some controversial issues in its narrative technique and method. The study of the narrative method and technique in Tender is the Night has no less significance in the literary world than it has in The Great Gatsby. In fact, Fitzgerald mounted his artistic maturity and craftsmanship in this novel despite all the controversial issues that surrounded the novel's first publication. The present study sheds light on the cons and pros of the narrative technique and method in both versions of Tender is the Night with necessary reference to the development of the events in the novel.

Authors: Oziegbe E.J. , Ocan O.O. , Buraimoh A.O.
Published: July 2020

Primary, secondary and accessory minerals in tonalitic rocks from Iwo region of the Precambrian Basement Complex of Southwestern Nigeria were identified and analysed with the aim of determining the various processes involved during the crystallisation of magma. Thin sections of tonalite were prepared and studied with the aid of a petrographic microscope. The mineral assemblages observed are biotite, plagioclase, alkali-feldspar, amphiboles, pyroxene, quartz, muscovite and chlorite. Allanite, titanite, apatite and zircon occur as accessory minerals. Muscovite and chlorite are found to be secondary minerals. The mineral allanite has a characteristic form of zoning and shows evidence of metamictisation, and is surrounded by dark-coloured biotite having radioactive haloes. Titanite is anhedral to subhedral crystals and forms reaction rim round opaque minerals. Plagioclase shows evidence of compositional zoning as well as plastic deformation of the twin lamellae. The allanite observed is primary in nature and has undergone radioactive disintegration; chlorite and muscovite are formed by secondary processes of chloritization and sericitisation, respectively. The tonalite is formed as a result of rapid cooling of magma close to the Earth's surface.
The stethoscope goes digital: Learning through attention, distraction and distortion
Authors: Van Drie Melissa , Harris Anna
Published: July 2020

For centuries, those training doctors have been faced with the challenges of standardising subjective experiences and constructing “the universal body” in learning situations. Various technologies have been introduced to address these challenges, with varying degrees of success. In this article we focus on the stethoscope, specifically the electrical and digital stethoscope models. Historical and social studies of medicine have already underlined the sociomateriality of learning in medicine. In this article we underscore the per formative nature of teaching and learning in the sociomaterial context. We do so by juxtaposing ethnographic and historical events that stage electrical and digital stethoscopes. These are not documentations of everyday practices but rather reconstructions of choreographed performances for learning about the body. In these stagings, the novice is taught to focus attention and avoid distraction, when learning the sounds of “the body”. Through engaging with, and comparing, different ethnographic and historic materials and artefacts, and through methodological reflection, we examine the importance not only of attention and distraction in learning a bodily skill, but also of dealing with distortion. We argue that these ethnographic and historic insights into distortion illuminate a neglected aspect of medical training, and more generally, in shaping sensory perceptions.

Educated To Death? Women’s Higher Education, Reproductive Health, And The Scientific Method In The United States, 1870-1900
Authors: Naiman Eleanor
Published: July 2020

From 1870-1890, American gynecologists positioned themselves at the center of debates about women’s education. Gynecologists manipulated social anxiety about shifting demographics and falling birthrates among white middle class women in order to legitimate their emerging discipline. In doing so, they couched American understandings of infertility in a politics of blame and demonized women for their inability to reproduce. Although doctors’ conversations about “sterility” primarily took place within the pages of journals published by all-male medical associations, many women engaged in this debate and challenged medical authority in the pages of popular magazines and newspapers. Female doctors, teachers, scholars, women’s college administrators, and their male allies employed a wide range of rhetorical strategies in their responses to male doctors’ theories. They reframed the debate over higher education and sterility into a discussion of the failings of patriarchal gender norms and the importance of objective scientific inquiry. They did so as the medical profession’s commitment to anecdotal evidence and individual treatment faced pressure from the emerging fields of quantitative studies, epidemiology, and medical statistics. A debate that began with a few vocal doctors with passionate but largely unsubstantiated claims had grown to incorporate discussions about scientific method, women’s rights, and female autonomy.

Published: July 2020

Актуальність теми дослідження. У світовій практиці застосування понад 50 % займають металеві покриття, що наносяться методом електродугової металізації, яка має такі переваги: висока продуктивність, простота обладнання, низька енергоємність, можливість отримання покриттів з високими експлуатаційними властивостями за рахунок застосування недефіцитних і недорогих дротів промислового виробництва. Постановка проблеми. При дуговому напиленні має місце інтенсивне окислення металу, який розпилюється киснем повітря, що призводить до значного вигоряння легуючих елементів та значно знижує якість нанесеного покриття. Аналіз останніх досліджень і публікацій. Багато робіт науковців спрямовано на вдосконалення конструкцій розпилювальних головок електродугових металізаторів, що передбачає вдосконалення конструкції повітряного сопла шляхом використання вставок і пристроїв, що забезпечують зміну в повітряно-розпилювальному потоці та призводить до значного удорожчання процесу. Виділення недосліджених частин загальної проблеми. Відомі розпилювальні головки не суттєво знижують окисний вплив розпилювального повітря, не забезпечують ресурсозбереження за рахунок зменшення витрати розпилювального повітря і витрат електроенергії на його отримання. Таким чином, метою досліджень є зниження окислення часток металу, при дуговій металізації для отримання покриттів із зазначеними властивостями та застосування ресурсозбереження. Виклад основного матеріалу. З метою зниження окисного впливу повітряно-розпилювального струменя на рідкий метал електродів розроблений метод пульсуючої подачі повітря в зону плавлення електродів. У даній роботі представлено пристрій для створення пульсуючого розпилювального потоку повітря при електродуговому напиленні. Висновки відповідно до статті. Показано, що при використанні різних перетинів клапана пульсатора для створення пульсуючого розпилювального потоку для дугової металізації, спостерігаються зміни в обсязі повітря та маси кисню розпилювального струменя в кілька разів.

ABSTRACT

This study aims to determine the effect of cow urine and cutting length on the growth of guava honey. This study was performed at the experimental farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Riau, Pekanbaru from February to May 2019. The research used the completely randomized design (RAL) factorial. The first factor was the concentration of cow urine consisting of 25%, 50%, and 75%. The second factor was the size of the length consisting of 15 cm, 20 cm, and 25 cm. The observed parameters consisted of the day of emerging buds, number of shoots, length of shoots, number of roots, root length, and root volume. The results of the study showed that a combination of cow urine treatment with long cuttings had an unreal effect on all parameters. A single long factor of cuttings gave a noticeable effect on all parameters except for the number of roots. The single factor of cow urine gave an unreal effect to all parameters except the length of the bud. The combination of cow urine concentration was 50% and 75% with a length of 25 cm could increase the growth of honey-water seedlings.

Key Words: Cow urine,  Cutting  length,  Growth, Guava honey.
Social mechanisms for countering corruption in the digital society’s youth environment
Authors: Kibakin M. V. , Korablev G. G.
Published: July 2020

The need to study the specifics of the phenomenon of corruption and anti-corruption measures in a digital society has been substantiated in the article. Based on the analysis of legislation, a sociological interpretation of the concepts of corruption, corruption prevention, indicators of corruption practices, and anti-corruption mechanisms is carried out. Each concept is presented both in its essential form and as a set of social parameters to be studied. The results of the analysis of the source base on anti-corruption issues and characteristics of the digital society have been presented. Information technology and information and communication indicators of social diagnostics of digital society problems have been described separately. The characteristic of sociological research conducted by the authors has been given and also the results of ranking and of determining the weight characteristics of such anti-corruption mechanisms have been outlined, as: the inevitability of responsibility for corruption offenses, publicity and openness of activities of state bodies and bodies of local self-government, implementation of the principles of “legality” and “recognition, maintenance and protection of fundamental human and civil rights and freedoms in Russia”, the integrated use of political, organizational, awareness-raising, socio-economic, legal, special and other measures, priority application of measures to prevent corruption, creating attitudes among the population not to accept corrupt actions as a way to solve their problems, forming a legal consciousness among young people that rejects corruption as an acceptable form of behavior and acceptable social practice for achieving success in life, cooperation between the state and civil society institutions, international organizations and individuals, development of digital technologies and virtual services in the system of corruption prevention, training and training of personnel in the field of theory and practice of corruption prevention, creation of public councils under the authorities with the participation of representatives of civil society, public opinion leaders, scientists, artists to develop measures to prevent corruption. Priority scientific problems, the development of which can increase the effectiveness of social mechanisms used to prevent corruption among young people, have been explained by the authors: development of legal anti-corruption foundations, research of socio-psychological methods of forming students’ legal awareness, conceptualization of scientific data on the use of digital technologies for social development.
Social networks as a basis for interaction between authorities and non-profit organizations established on the basis of nationality in public communications space
Authors: Zotov V. V. , Gubanov A. V.
Published: July 2020

The article is devoted to the discussion of the influence of modern information and telecommunication technologies on the process of building bilateral communication of state and municipal administration bodies with non-profit organizations created on the basis of national origin from the point of view of the management of public values and the stakeholder approach. The purpose of this article is to analyse the possibilities of organizing social and network interaction between the authorities and representatives of non-profit organizations as an institutionalized form of existence of national communities and faiths (on the example of social and network space of public communications of the Central Federal District). In the course of the study it was found that in the sphere of interethnic and interethnic relations the most relevant is the formation of a specialized single social and network resource in the information and communication space of the region. The preferred format of using such a resource, according to experts, should be related to the questions of obtaining information on decisions made by the authority and their subsequent discussion. At the same time, experts underestimate the possibilities of organizing dialogue and partnership on the basis of social media. At the same time, an analysis of existing social media practices has shown 1) a small proportion of accounts of state structures, which are responsible for interaction with representatives of national associations and diasporas; 2) the mismatch distribution in the social and network space of public communications pages of the authorities of the subject of the Russian Federation, carrying out in their activities interaction with national NGOs, accounts of non-profit organizations themselves, created on the basis of national origin, as well as representatives of national communities and diasporas. These circumstances allowed the authors to make a conclusion that it is necessary to establish in social networks systematic work of the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation with non-profit organizations, which represent national diasporas and communities on the territory of the regions of the Central Federal District.

Published: July 2020

Based on the conducted sociological research and using modern methodological approaches of digital sociology, the feasibility of developing institutional conditions for improving the educational rehabilitation of disabled people by means of modern Internet technologies has been justified. Examples of the development of analogical problems in the works of domestic and foreign authors have been given. The possibilities of scientific and methodological support of social experiments on the development and implementation of educational Internet communications to overcome the disability of disabled people using the Arsenal of digital sociology have been described separately. The data on the attitude of disabled people to higher education in the system of their rehabilitation and life activity, with the identification of social groups with positive, uncertain and negative attitudes with a predominant positive attitude to the possibility of educational rehabilitation have been provided. The educational needs of people with disabilities in various areas have been described, their quantitative characteristics with the definition of priorities and areas of education that are not relevant for people with disabilities have been presented. A significant place in the article has been given to the possibilities of involving disabled people in the process of developing educational programs and in research activities, both in terms of the availability of willing people among them, and the use of various forms of their integration into real research projects as part of temporary creative teams. The conditions for the implementation of scientific support for the development of training programs in the Internet space by conducting their practical testing on the example of the Zagorsk experiment have been characterized separately. Attention to supporting individual research projects of people with disabilities in the course of higher education has been paid, ways to help them collect experimental material have been substantiated. Separately, the role and place of joint forms of scientific activity of disabled people, teachers and students in the performance of state tasks have been shown. Taking into account the important role of social inclusion of disabled people in Internet communications, the prevalence of creating accounts in the Internet information and communication network and using various Internet resources among disabled people and family members has been separately reflected.
