Introduction

Childhood cancers though curable have inequalities in outcomes between low- and middle-income countries and high-income countries. The World Health Organisation (WHO) Global initiative on Childhood cancer (GICC) has a goal of increasing survival rate at least by 60% by 2030 while reducing suffering and improving quality of life for children with cancer globally.

The main aim for this study was to assess the trends in yearly proportions and numbers of cases seen and to evaluate the survival patterns and also to serve as a baseline as interventions are implemented in tandem with the WHO GICC.

MethodsA retrospective study was conducted to review secondary data from the paediatric cancer registry of all patients diagnosed with cancer from 2011-2020. Demographic and clinical data stored in excel was exported to Stata and analyzed. Outcome data included death or alive.

ResultsTotal number of patients diagnosed were 1,094 with the lowest number of new patients (n=84) seen in 2012 and the highest (n=132) seen in 2014. There was a Male: Female ratio of 1.4:1. The commonest cancers seen was lymphomas forming about 38.1% of the new diagnosis made. The incidence of lymphomas reduced from 62.8% in 2011 to 23.0% in 2020. Proportions for Acute leukaemia’s also increased from 11.3% in 2011 to 23.8% in 2020. Number of patients alive in reference to the year of diagnosis was lowest in 2016 with 29% of patients being alive. Subsequent years have higher survival with 53% of patients in 2019 still alive. Leukaemia treatment is expensive and unaffordable and translated to poor outcomes as patients tend to abandon treatment.

ConclusionThis baselines preliminary data showed a reducing trend in the incidence of lymphomas with an increase in the number of leukaemia patients seen but poor outcomes in patients with leukaemia. This calls for concerted effort with interventions to improve on the outcome and be able to reach the 60% survival goal for the WHO GICC.

CORRELATION BETWEEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND THE HABITUAL BEHAVIOR OF MILLENNIALS IN URBAN AREAS
Authors: Aulia Andini Nur
Published: January 2022

Information and Communication Technology is growing rapidly in the world's competition. This flow of development brings a big influence for its users including millennials who live in urban areas that always boast a western lifestyle culture that is reflected by the behavior of money-wasting habits that it has or called hedonism. This certainly causes the threat of degradation to the culture of local heritage that should be maintained by the nation's successors or millennials. But that the progress in the field of information technology brings positive good for the people but shifted the positive benefits due to the lack of a strong understanding of the nation's morality on the basis of Pancasila that should be owned by millennials. From the conclusion that can be drawn from this study that the advancement of information technology has an effect on the lifestyle and way of thinking of millennials so that it becomes a threat to the sustainability of local culture, therefore millennials as the next generation and savior of the nation should be equipped with an understanding of the nation's morality on the basis of Pancasila and its implementation in order to foster nationalism and realize the nation's strategy in overcoming degradation of local culture.

What is the impact of covid-19 pandemic era on Pregnant Women sero-positivity for Syphilis among women attending antenatal care in India and number of babies diagnosed with Congenital Syphilis?
Authors: Kumar Dr Piyush
Published: January 2022

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) still continue to be a major public health problem globally, affecting the quality of life as well as causing serious morbidity and mortality. STIs have a direct and significant impact on reproductive and child health. They can directly cause infertility, cancers as well as pregnancy complications, and indirectly affects individual economies. The information on the number of PW found to be sero positive for Syphilis among women attending antenatal care in India and number of babies diagnosed with Congenital Syphilis is collected from HMIS electronic records of MoHFW, Government of India with key objective to know about the impact of covid-19 era i.e. 2020 and 2021 on prevalence of syphilis by comparing it with the pre pandemic era of 2018 and 2019. I collected sero positivity data for Syphilis among women attending antenatal care in India and number of babies diagnosed with Congenital Syphilis across 36 states and union territories of India including all health facilities viz. public, private, rural, urban health facilities. The data is collected, observed and analyzed with Microsoft office software. Among 254705.2 averages per month number of PW (pregnant women) tested using POC test for Syphilis, 2144.4 averages per month were sero positive for Syphilis giving a sero-prevalence of 0.84 % in 2021(Jan to May). Of 175579.75 averages per month number of PW tested using POC test for Syphilis, 855.58 averages per month were sero positive for Syphilis giving a sero-prevalence of 0.49 % in 2020(Jan to Dec). Of 53313.66 averages per month number of PW tested using POC test for Syphilis, 419.33 averages per month were sero positive for Syphilis giving a sero-prevalence of 0.79 % in 2019 (Jan to Dec). Of 11364.75averages per month number of PW tested using POC test for Syphilis, 339.08 averages per month were sero positive for Syphilis giving a sero-prevalence of 2.98 % in 2018 (Jan to Dec).Keywords: syphilis, COVID-19, sero-prevalence, pregnant women, antenatal care, new born,
Deformation mechanisms and characteristics of the meta-BIFs from an early Proterozoic shear system of the Southern Granulite Terrane (SGT), India
Authors: Dutta Dripta , Misra Santanu , Karmakar Shreya
Published: January 2022

We studied three samples of Banded Iron Formation (BIF) rocks from Southern Granulite Terrane (SGT) of India, which was metamorphosed at high-pressure granulite facies and exhumed from 40-50 km depth. We examined the microstructure, texture, and deformation mechanisms of the primary minerals (quartz, magnetite, and hematite). Microstructures, variations in size and shape of quartz grains suggest that the three samples deformed to different intensities and temperatures. The EBSD derived CPOs for quartz and magnetite grains are strong, implying dislocation creep as the dominant mechanism. The presence of distinct subgrains in magnetite, rare in natural samples, attests to the same. Furthermore, twinning on {111}, as evident from the misorientation angle and axis distributions, indicates ductile deformation of magnetite below 400 °C. Subgrain boundary trace analysis in selected magnetite grains reveals that multiple-slip planes {111}, {110}, and {100} were operational. Topotaxial replacement, via redox reaction, of magnetite grains along their octahedral planes by hematite is evident. Well-developed CPOs but low (<1°) GOS values of both magnetite and hematite grains suggest that recovery processes in these were rapid. Post-replacement deformation was weak and did not affect the hematite CPOs that were inherited from the relatively more deformed host magnetite grains.
Vertically Resolved Convective/Stratiform Echo Type Identification and Convectivity Retrieval for Vertically Pointing Radars
Authors: Romatschke Ulrike , Dixon Michael
Published: January 2022

Using data from the airborne HIAPER Cloud Radar (HCR), a partitioning algorithm (ECCO-V) that provides vertically resolved convectivity and convective vs stratiform radar echo classification is developed for vertically pointing radars. The algorithm is based on the calculation of reflectivity and radial velocity texture fields that measure the horizontal homogeneity of cloud and precipitation features. The texture fields are translated into convectivity, a numerical measure of the convective or stratiform nature of each data point. The convective/stratiform classification is obtained by thresholding the convectivity field. Subcategories of low, mid, and high stratiform, shallow, mid, deep, and elevated convective, and mixed echoes are introduced, which are based on the melting layer and divergence level altitudes.As the algorithm provides vertically resolved classifications, it is capable of identifying different types of vertically-layered echoes, and convective features that are embedded in stratiform cloud layers. Its robustness was tested on data from four HCR field campaigns which took place in different meteorological and climatological regimes. The algorithm was adapted for use in space borne and ground based radars, proving its versatility, as it is adaptable not only to different radar types and wavelengths, but also different research applications.
Two decades of changing anthropogenic mercury emissions in Australia: inventory development, trends, and atmospheric implications
Authors: MacFarlane Stephen , Fisher Jenny , Horowitz Hannah , Shah Viral
Published: January 2022

Mercury is a toxic environmental pollutant emitted into the atmosphere by both natural and anthropogenic sources. In Australia, previous estimates of anthropogenic mercury emissions differ by up to a factor of three, with existing inventories either outdated or inaccurate and several lacking Australia-specific input data. Here, we develop a twenty-year inventory of Australian anthropogenic mercury emissions spanning 2000-2019 with annual resolution. Our inventory uses Australia-specific data where possible and incorporates processes not included in other Australian inventories, such as delayed release effects from waste emissions. We show that Australian anthropogenic mercury emissions have decreased by more than a factor of two over the past twenty years, with the largest decrease from the gold production sector followed by brown coal-fired power plants and commercial product waste. Only the aluminium sector has shown a notable increase in mercury emissions. Using a global 3-D chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem), we show that the reduction in emissions has led to a small decrease in mercury deposition to the Australian continent, with annual oxidised mercury deposition ~3-4% lower with present day emissions than with emissions from the year 2000. We also find that Australian emissions are not accurately represented in recent global emissions inventories and that differences between inventories have a larger impact than emissions trends on simulated mercury deposition. Overall, this work suggests a significant benefit to Australia from the Minamata Convention, with further reductions to Australian mercury deposition expected from decreases in both Australian and global anthropogenic emissions.
Optimizing Fact-Learning with a Response-Latency-Based Adaptive System
Authors: Sense Florian , van Rijn Hedderik
Published: January 2022

Over a century of scientific research into learning and forgetting has revealed a number of laws describing human memory processes which are the principal constituents of mathematical models that capture forgetting processes and how they unfold over time. Recently, these models have been applied in computerized learning systems that adapt to individual learners. This is typically done by having the model predict the accuracy of a response to an item, and then updating the model based on the observed behavior to improve the fidelity of predictions on subsequent repetitions. Using accuracy works well in extensive learning sessions that provide enough time for students to make sufficient mistakes to discriminate easy from difficult items (and/or good from poor learners). However, real-life learning sessions tend to be relatively short, and requiring errors to update the model is therefore suboptimal. Here we show that a memory model-based system can be calibrated to a learner’s proficiency in relatively short learning sessions by taking accuracy and response latency into account. We conducted two experiments, testing the system in a real-life secondary education classroom setting as well as in the laboratory with university students, with and without prior knowledge of the material, respectively. We find an advantage of model-based systems over simple control conditions and highlight the benefit of using response latencies along with accuracy.
What Accounts for the Factors of Psychopathology? An Investigation of the Neurocognitive Correlates of Internalising, Externalising, and the p-Factor
Authors: Haywood Darren , Baughman Frank , Mullan Barbara , Heslop Karen
Published: January 2022

Neurocognitive deficits have been consistently associated with a wide range of psychopathology and are proposed to not only be a consequence of the development of psychopathology, but also directly involved in its aetiology. However, there is no clear understanding of what neurocog-nitive processes are particularly important to mental health. In this paper we explored the association between neurocognitive abilities and the factors derived from structural models of psychopathology. Four hundred participants from a representative community sample completed measures of symptomology and substance use, as well as 8 neurocognitive tasks. We found a correlated-factors model, with internalising and externalising as the higher-order factors, and a single-factor model, with only the p-factor, were both good fits for the data. Tasks that measured speed of processing were significantly associated to internalising, externalising and the p¬factor, and accounted for significant amounts of unique variance in the factors after accounting for the common variance of the other tasks. Tasks that measured working memory, shifting, and inhibition were not significantly associated to the factors of psychopathology. Our findings suggest that neurocognitive abilities may not be differentially associated with the factors of psychopathology, but that speed of processing is a common correlate of the factors. We emphasise the importance of examining neurocognitive abilities and psychopathology on the individual level.
The Role of the Third Sector in Public Health Service Provision: Evidence from 25,338 heterogeneous procurement datasets
Authors: Rahal Charles , Mohan John
Published: January 2022

We examine the role of non-profits within publicly funded healthcare which runs parallel to private provision in a ‘two-tier’ system through a unique Big Data pipeline. Scraping tens of thousands of heterogeneous transaction datasets across a commissioning hierarchy, the processed dataset contains over £445Bn worth of transactions across 1.9m+ rows of clean data, spanning 2012-2020. Information includes but is not limited to date of procurement transaction, supplier name, and transaction value. We utilise this dataset to test a range of hypotheses related to the introduction of the Health and Social Care Act of 2012. The proportion of contracts placed with non-profit organisations is relatively low, with limited evidence as to whether the Act increased the involvement of third sector organisations in line with NHS `marketisation'. We analyse the pattern of procurement by corporate category, field of service delivery (ICNPO and SIC codes), and ‘expense area’ to show the unique array of services which voluntary organisations supply. We also analyse the pattern of commissioning across entity class and size distributions of registered charities. We conclude with a consideration of high-value Community Interest Companies, and discuss potential further areas of research within a healthcare context which such government transaction data makes possible.
Implementasi Jaringan Internet Site To Site VPN Dengan Metode IPSec Pada PT Telkom Akses

Published: January 2022

Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a local communication network that is connected through a public network, with a private data security network, the closure of data transfer from illegal access and network scalability are the main standards in a Virtual Private Network (VPN). In building a VPN at PT. Telkom access is done using the Internet Protocol Security (IP Sec) method. PT Telkom Akses is engaged in the business of providing construction services and managing network infrastructure. At this time PT Telkom Akses sent company data using email, if using company email could not ensure the security of the data sent. PT Telkom, which has many branch offices, is required to have a fast and stable internet connection for transmitting confidential company data. Looking at the existing problems, there are several things that are obtained including, communication between users is still not optimal. Data transmission from branch offices to the head office or vice versa is still not encrypted, which means that data can be viewed or retrieved by unauthorized persons and company confidentiality can be threatened. So creating a VPN network with the IPSEC method will get a more stable and safer connection, files and folders that can be shared by network members, making it easier for network administrators to manage the network if the distance between sites is constrained and the network is well encrypted and already using authentication to connect between sites.

Image of the Mystic Flower
Authors: Badiee Julie
Published: January 2022

The most recently constructed Bahá’í House of Worship, situated in Bahapur, India, was dedicated in December 1985. The attractive and compelling design of this building creates the visual effect of a large, white lotus blossomappearing to emerge from the pools of water circled around it. The lotus flower, identified by the psychiatrist Carl Jung as an archetypal symbol, carries with it many meanings. This article will explore these meanings both in the traditions of the Indian subcontinent and in other cultures and other eras. In addition, the article will show that the flower imagery relates also to symbols employed in the Bahá’í Writings and, while reiterating the meanings of the past, also functions as a powerful image announcing the appearance of Bahá’u’lláh, the Manifestation of God for this day.

This article (part 2 of 2) explores, from a Bahá’í perspective, the loss of a transcendent ethical basis as a central problem of modern social theory. It discusses religion as the source of society’s moral foundations and its organizing principles of order, law, and governance. Implications are drawn for the potential of religion’s most enduring core concept, that of covenant, to provide the unifying foundation for a just, caring, and tolerant global social order.
Creation
Authors: Thoresen Lasse
Published: January 2022

Divine creation moves from implicit and transcendent oneness to explicit and manifest multiplicity. To contribute to the creation of a new civilization as a researcher or as an artist means to make oneself available for participation inthis process of neverending unfolding. The divine Names are the eternal archetypes organizing the material world. Divine Names are not concepts; they are tools for invoking the animated presence of a particular aspect of thecreative force, thus enabling dialogue between thinking processes and reality. Such a dialogue favors a presuppositionless, susceptive attitude to reality as more adequate than the imposition of preconceived methodological assumptions.

Some Images of a "New Creation" in Twentieth-Century Art
Authors: Badiee Julie
Published: January 2022

The theme of destruction is so common in twentieth-century art that it is easy to make the superficial mistake of dismissing much of modern art as dealing with death and despair. However, a closer study of this perios can reveal that there has also always been a fascination with the subjects of birth, renewal, and new beginnings. Many of the art forms of our century exhibit a profound and purposeful break from the past and can be understood as a continuing attempt by modern artists to create a unique and unprecedented visual language for the age in which we live. This article looks at the works of some twentieth-centur artists to show that, whether they were aware of the Baha'i Revelation or not, many of these artists have been compelled to express the quiet, yet unmistakable theme of a "new creation."
Some Thoughts on the Teachings of Baha'u'llah and the Rise of Globalism
Authors: Van Es Rose
Published: January 2022

Globalism has replaced the Cold War as the dominant ideology. Along with shift from East-West tension to ecological concerns has come a change from national to global worries. This article begins by presenting the argument that global thinking is replacing traditional nationalist ideologies. The article then discusses the changes necessary for a shift to an ecologically centered identity and the merits of the Baha'i Faith's teachings are examined in light of a transformation to a world-centered mindset. Finally, the article concludes by questioning whether the teachings of Baha'u'llah fully recognize material prosperity as restricted by the earth's limited resources.
Baha'i Village Granary
Authors: Calkins Peter , Girard Benoit
Published: January 2022

'Abdu'l-Baha's monetized village granary helps lay the systemic foundations of Baha'u'llah's spiritualized New World Economic Order for both rural and urban society. It is the capstone of God's progressive revelation of rural institutions for the sustainable use of natural resources. Village granaries are needed because agriculture has become materiallistic, industrialized, and closed to the employment of human labor. Without such granaries, the production input "spirit" will continue to be neglected as a guide to rural development, ecological conservation, economic stability, equitable employment, adequate institutions, and universal values. Economic projections for progressively implementing a monetized village granary on a Canadian Baha'i farm show that the problems of start-up cost, access to rural resources, and lack of reciprocity can be overcome by volunteer, apprentice, and pioneer labor, as well as by such cooperative projects as joint maple production.
1844 Ottoman "Edict of Toleration" in Baha'i Secondary Literature
Authors: Sours Michael
Published: January 2022

In Baha'i secondary literature, it has been commonly assumed that an Imperial Edict, referred to by Christians and Baha'i authors as the "Edict of Toleration" issued in 1844 by the Ottoman governement permitted Jews to return to Palestine. The return of Jews to palestine was widely thought by Christian to be an important event anticipated by bibllical prophecy and heralding the Second Advent of Christ. Since the fulfilment of such a significant prophecy seemed to have been made possible by an edict issued in the very year the Baha'i era began, the Edict naturally captured the interest of Baha'is. This article examines the Edict, its origin, the evolution of ideas about it, and re-evaluates its significance.

Published: January 2022

Objective: This study examined effect of a new Parent Involvement-Child Behavioral Management Program (PICBMP) on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms (inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity) among school-age children with ADHD in a regional psychiatric hospital in Thailand.Material and Methods: In this pretest-posttest control group study, 60 children between 6 and 12 years of age diagnosed with ADHD and their parents were equally and randomly assigned to either the PICBMP or usual care group. The individuals assigned to the PICBMP group attended an 8-week of behavior management program for parents of ADHD children, which was in addition to a usual care program, while usual care was provided to individuals only provided to the control group. The Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham-IV tool was used to evaluate the ADHD symptoms in all children before and after the PICBMP intervention. Descriptive statistics and t-test were used for data analysis (p-value<0.050).Results: Most of the children were male -75.0%, and -88.4% of the parents in the study were female. The average age of the children was 8.9 years (S.D.=1.67), and that of the parents was 40 years (S.D.=6.17). Significantly lower ADHD symptoms were found in the children who received the PICBMP compared to the children who received the usual care at pretest and posttest (t=-5.065, p-value<0.050). The ADHD symptoms in the children in the intervention experimental group significantly decreased after their parents attended the PICBMP (t=14.986, p-value<0.050).Conclusion: The findings of this study support the effectiveness of the PICBMP in reducing ADHD symptoms.

Face plays a vital role in the Recognition or Re-Identification of a person. Therefore, it is significant to identify and extract the facial visual features that automatically lead to face identification-based classification. Facial features comprise different ways of detection, for instance, they could be located at corners or midpoints of the facial features that rely on multiple components such as eyes, lips, nose with different emotions and expressions used in face recognition. This paper introduced a robust and efficient deep learning model with the use of a transfer learning approach for PSO for extraction and selection of the best facial features. Deep learning models “Openface via PSO and introduced customized Inception-V3 model via PSO is used and present detailed comparative accuracy of both models in terms of classification recognition. For this, the paper presents seven different algorithms to evaluate the efficiency of the model with four different face databases. It is evident from the result; neural network classifier shows a gradual hike to calculate accuracy with the proposed PSO-based OpenFace deep learning approach. On the other hand, random forest and AdaBoost algorithm were observed most compatible with the customized PSO-based Inception-V3 model.

Виконано аналіз динаміки стану ґрунтів України. Встановлено, що розораність земель є найвищою у світі, що порушує екологічну стійкість агроландшафтів і негативно впливає на зерновиробництво. Незадовільний стан ґрунтів та зміни клімату потребують трансформації зерновиробництва. Інструментами забезпечення адаптації зерновиробництва до нових природно-кліматичних умов є впровадження екологічних технологій обробітку землі та захисту посівів, нових сортів зерна, надійне прогнозування основних показників  зернової галузі.
УПРАВЛІННЯ ЯКІСТЮ В СФЕРІ ТУРИСТИЧНИХ ПОСЛУГ
Authors: Koval S. I. , Kovalchuk Ye. A.
Published: January 2022

Якість туристичного продукту характеризується якістю послуг, що входять до його складу. При вивченні якості туристичних послуг виділяють три рівні: технічна, соціальна та якість навколишнього середовища. В умовах розвитку туристичної індустрії, обов’язковими вимогами є забезпечення безпеки життя і здоров’я; гарантія надання послуг; збереження майна туриста; охорона навколишнього середовища. Реалізація стратегії «управління якістю» може бути представлена в трьох варіантах: 1-й – формування якості управлінської діяльності у вищій і середній ланках управління; 2-й – формування якості управлінської діяльності в системі управління якістю; 3-й – формування якості на рівні технології реалізації туристських послуг. Для належного управління якістю продукту (послуги) в умовах конкурентного середовища і розширення ринків діяльності, в тому числі закордонних, компанії переходять на використання міжнародних стандартів, головним із яких є стандарт серії ISO 9000.

Кращі світові практики та інституції (ООН, ЮНІДО та ЮНЕП) вважають, що ресурсно-ефективне та більш чисте виробництво це шлях до циркулярної економіки й поводження з відходами. Гармонізація законів та стандартів в Україні передбачає використання превентивних стратегій поводження з всіма видами відходів, які підвищують ефективність економіки, формують соціальну й екологічну значимість.Перспективними для України є: сортування відходів з наступною їх переробкою; формування онлайн-платформ збору й логістики відходів; окремі види поводження з токсичними, медичними відходами; не допущення спалювання відходів та захоронення лише частки відходів яких не можливо переробити. Одним із варіантів діджиталізації сфери поводження з відходами може бути інструмент – інформаційнокомунікативні платформи в регіонах (громадах) у методології на рівні світу як от Платформа зеленого зростання.

У статті розглянуто проблему зведеного бюджету депресивного району, проведено аналіз виконання його дохідної та видаткової частин. Виявлено проблемні аспекти формування та використання фінансових ресурсів місцевого бюджету. До основних проблем віднесено недієвість заходів з наповнення та використання бюджетних коштів на рівні місцевої влади. Необхідним є внесення змін до чинного законодавства в частині збільшення ресурсної бази місцевих бюджетів. Запропоновані заходи щодо збалансування бюджету. Територіальні відмінності соціально-економічного розвитку характерні для багатьох країн світу, однак, розбалансованість української економіки надзвичайно посилили диспропорції розвитку окремих її регіонів. Значна диференціація регіонів за рівнем економічного розвитку та поглиблення диспропорцій їх розвитку є значною перешкодою для піднесення національної економіки України. Тому, розв’язання проблем таких територій є актуальним загальнодержавним завданням.
