Prevalence of Basal-like Breast Cancer among Indigenous Black Zambians at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia
Authors: Mbewe N , Kaile T , Marimo C , Simakando M , Sinkala M
Published: September 2023

Background: Breast cancer comprises a group of very diverse diseases, which can be demonstrated at the molecular,  histopathological and clinical levels. Gene expression studies using RNA microarray studies have categorised breast carcinomas into several classes. Of these basal-like tumour class has showed poor prognosis and their insensitivity to hormonal therapy  makes therapeutic management difficult . Immunohistochemistry using certain Cytokeratins such as CK 5/6 has made it easier to identify these tumours allowing for better  management. We conducted this study to determine whether the Zambian women  presenting with breast cancer at the University Teaching Hospital express CK5/6 protein.

Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted to evaluate 44 conveniently sampled breast tissue  diagnosed with breast cancer on histology at the University Teaching Hospital. The breast tissue was stained with CK 5/6  antibody (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). The Labelled Streptavidin Binding (LSAB) staining was used to amplify and view the reaction. Pearson-chi-square test was used to indicate statistical significance of the findings.

Results: Results revealed that 23 (52%) of the 44 samples tested negative for CK5/6 while 21(48%) were positive as shown in table 2. Out of the 23 samples that tested positive, 18 were ductal carcinoma while 5 were lobular carcinoma (P = 0.023).

Conclusion: In our study close to half of the tissue specimen were positive for the monoclonal antibody CK 5/6. This is highly suggestive of the presence of Basal like tumours in Zambian patients. These basal-like tumours are highly aggressive and have a greater propensity to metastasize. These tumours are also associated with BRCA ½ genes suggesting a hereditary role in the pathogenesis. There is need therefore to do more studies in breast cancer characterisation in order to develop better strategies in the management of patients with these tumours.

Drivers and Barriers towards Circular Economy: A Systematic Review on Consumer Perspective in the Consumer Journey
Authors: Pasqualotto Carina , Hoffmann Sampaio Claudio , Callegaro de Menezes Daniela
Published: September 2023

Circular economy (CE) has received considerable attention from academia, practitioners and policymakers as a potential solution for the current context of social, food and economic crises, environmental pollution, the continuous decrease of non-renewable resources and continuous increase of the global population. Although the importance of consumer as an active agent to circular process success, studies that address consumer behavior in the context of CE are still limited. Thus, there are relevant gaps in the CE literature, as studies so far have largely neglected the unique customer perspective on the drivers and barriers to CE adoption, particularly in relation to each stage of the customer journey. In this context, through a systematic literature review, this study aims to identify drivers and barriers towards CE related to consumer and classify them in the consumer journey. As results, it was possible to analyze and classify the drivers and barriers towards CE related to consumer in the three phases in the consumer journey: pre-purchase, purchase and post-purchase. In the pre-purchase phase, it identified drivers and barriers related to consumer awareness, knowledge, perceptions, thrill, needs and interest, pressure from community, global climate and consumer’ environmental awareness. The drivers and barriers classified on purchase phase are in regard to consumer behavior, preferences, interest, acceptance and demand, and also consumer behavior in the buying process, price, customer pressure and customer himself. Finally, in the post-purchase phase, only drivers were found, involving customer loyalty and satisfaction, reusing and recycling.
Child Marriage in India: A Sociological Review
Authors: Fernandes Muriel
Published: September 2023

This article explores child marriage in India as a cultural tradition that exists in modern society. Both boys and girls are affected by child marriage, which takes away their childhood. Relationships involving a child under the age of eighteen occur worldwide, although, for the most part, they are found in South Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Early relationships not only force young girls to accept their domestic and intimate jobs during adolescence but also set them up where they cannot make decisions about their sexual and regenerative well-being. Child marriage is a human violation of fundamental freedom, directly affecting girls’ schooling, well-being, and mental prosperity and severely affects their future generations’ soundness. This practice, driven by deprivation, is encouraged to guarantee the girl child’s monetary fortunes and support social ties. One way to reduce the consequences of child marriage and health is to allow girls to attend school. Because of subjugation, the girl’s job inside and outside the family still appears to be an essential justification for continuing the practice of teenage marriage. The process of socialisation of youth within the family usually addresses single-direction correspondence. Due to a human-controlled society, even mothers support fathers and older people in implementing the philosophy of early marriage for girls. Given such an eclectic social design, girls/children find it difficult to hand over insights into current respects and practices learned in schools to their unskilled parents. This paper aims to study the status of girls/women, which goes back in history and traces it to child marriage in present. Secondly, to look at the laws and policies and their methods of eradicating them. Thirdly, to examine the problems faced by children due to child marriage.

This research paper investigates the benefits and challenges of implementing blended learning approaches at the university level in Pakistan. Blended learning, characterized by the integration of traditional classroom instruction and digital resources, has gained prominence as a potential solution to educational disparities. The study employs a mixed-methods research design to offer a nuanced understanding of this educational paradigm. The research draws upon a diverse population, encompassing educators from both public and private universities in Lahore, Pakistan. A sample of 400 university teachers was selected to represent this population, enabling a comprehensive examination of their perceptions and experiences with blended learning. Quantitative data from a Likert-scale survey assessed educators' views on blended learning benefits and challenges. Statistical analyses included correlation analysis, t-tests, chi-square tests, and logistic regression to explore relationships, differences between public and private university educators, and predictors of challenges in blended learning experiences. The findings of this study reveal a complex landscape. Blended learning is perceived as a promising avenue for reducing educational disparities and enhancing access to quality education, especially in underserved regions. This research underscores the importance of targeted support mechanisms for disadvantaged students and the need for meticulous planning and robust support systems to maximize the potential of blended learning.
A Critical Examination of the Factors Leading to Organizational Silence and its Influence on Employee Job Attitudes
Authors: Ullah Naqeeb , Asghar Umair
Published: September 2023

To successfully and efficiently attain the purpose, personnel are seen as sources of development, innovation, learning, and progression. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of individuals choose quiet, refraining from expressing their beneficial emotions and concerns over the troubles inside their relationships. This research aims to use existing literature to ascertain the underlying motivations for employee silence and identify the many components that contribute to silence within an organizational context. The primary factors contributing to calmness are often acknowledged as workplace culture, fear and harsh criticism from the administration, lack of trust, and insufficient assistance from management. According to existing research, silence is a behavioral phenomenon that is linked to several work attitudes, including contentment, turnover intention, and organizational citizenship behavior. Workers are more inclined to express their concerns on corporate matters when a company fosters a climate of trust and has effective communication channels.
Plants for saving the environment- Phytoremediation
Authors: Stanisław Gawroński
Published: September 2023

A large part of the civilizational progress has been achieved at the expense of the natural environment, which recently reached the stages that threaten its creator. Plants play an important role in various areas of our lives, and it turned out that we can rely on them to reduce this threat. The ability of living organisms and the systems they create to protect and restore the environment is at the core of a technology called environmental biotechnology. Advances in science and technology have created a plant-based discipline known as phytoremediation. This technology allows us to remove or reduce the level of pollutants in our surroundings. We can phytoextract heavy metals from contaminated soil and water with the help of resistant plant species and recover noble metals and rare elements. When the soil or water is contaminated with organic compounds, we try to eliminate them completely with the help of plants and their microbiome. Phytoextraction from water is related to the accumulation of pollutants in water and sediments, in which macrophytes from all water groups participate, including free-floating submerged and emerged plants. The task of these plants, apart from the accumulation of metals or organic toxins, is also the uptake of phosphorus and nitrogen to prevent the eutrophication of water. In recent years, the quality of air has deteriorated. Nowadays, 90% of the population breathes air that does not meet WHO standards. It should be emphasized that in the case of outdoor air, there is no industrial system for removing pollutants. In fact, we can only count on nature: rainfall and plants. Indoor air is sometimes even more polluted than outside and, therefore, we should be safe in it with the help of plants that are able to create a refuge. Additionally, it fulfills biofilling desires and improves our mood.

Atmosphere of the sacred –sonic aspect, acoustic investigationsof the contemporary church
Authors: Sygulska Anna
Published: September 2023

Acoustics are one of the main components that constitute the functionality of the sacred building. Designing a church is a real challenge because the interior must be adapted to various acoustic requirements. However, one must bear in mind that one of the goals to be achieved in a religious interior is to create the sense of the sacred. The aim of this paper is to investigate acoustic conditions in a contemporary Catholic church with a view to determining the sound quality of the interior. Acoustic investigations were conducted in Św. Jerzy Church in Poznań. An ominidirectional sound source, the DIRAC software and the Brüel & Kjær ZE-0948 USB sound card were used. The e-sweep signal was generated and parameters that are referred to in the literature as basic were measured to assess the acoustic properties of the religious interior. The acoustic parameters were then compared to the recommended values. The most important parameter used in the assessment of the sound quality of a sacred interior is reverberation time RT. A lot of contemporary churches exceed its recommended value, the result of which is reverberant noise. The RT value in the investigated church falls within the recommended range but because the interior houses no pipe organ, the value should be lowered. Shorter reverberation time will ensure better speech clarity while the sense of the sacred will be retained. Designing a religious facility should take account of its acoustics as early as at the conceptual stage; one should remember that aural impressions will influence the reception of the acoustics of the interior.

The rate of HIV/AIDS new infection seems to be very alarming even in the covid-19 pandemic era when restriction of movement and lockdown was imposed by the government across the globe. Those living with HIV/AIDS were faced with challenges of trying to manage their health but new infections were still being recorded. In an attempt to ascertain the possible factors that promote the spread and possible ways to curtail it in our society, this study investigated ecopsychosocial strategies for its eradication. A total of 564 participants with age range of 19 and 66 years comprised 307 males and 257 females were used for the study. Out of 564, 298 were single; 166 married and 100 divorced. These were drawn from the population of people living with HIV/AIDS that visit University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Ituku Ozalla and General Hospital, Udi in Udi Local Government Area, all in Enugu State for their anti-retroviral drugs using purposive sampling technique. A 13-item and a 10-item questionnaire designed by the researchers were used. A Cross sectional survey design was adopted while descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data using SPSS version 23. The results showed that all the participants agreed that promiscuity contributed hundred percent (100%) to the spread of HIV/AIDS, having unprotected sex also attracted a hundred percent (100%), (100%) of the participants agreed that excessive use of hard drugs and alcohol contribute to the spread of the virus, ninety-seven percent (97.3%) of the participants agreed that poverty can also contribute to the spread of the virus, sixty-four percent (64.6%) agreed that lack of maternal services can contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS, more than seventy percent (78.3%) disagreed that tribal wars and conflict can contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS while about seventeen percent (17.6%) agreed that wars and conflict can aid in the spread of the virus. Sixty (60%) disagreed that cultural factors can contribute

Assessment of Radionuclide Contents of Sediment in Ngo River, Andoni L.G.A of Rivers State in Nigeria was carryout successfully. Ten (10) samples were collected at ten different points within the river and it environ. The collected samples were analyzed in the laboratory to ascertain the radionuclide content. The result shows the presence of radionuclide of potassium – 40, radium – 226 and thorium – 232 in the samples. The concentration level of the samples result in the area were found to be 68.48 ± 4.84 BqKg -1 , 23.47 ± 4.23 BqKg -1 and 77.25 ± 12.54 BqKg -1 for Potassium – 40, Radium – 226 and Thorium – 232, which when compared with the world average of value of 400 BqKg -1, 35BqKg -1 and 30 BqKg -1 (UNSCEAR , 2000) respectively, the value for thorium – 232 exceeds the world average values for sediments while Potassium -40 and Radium – 226 are within the safe value. The activity concentration of the sediments when calculated with radiological parameters was within the safe value for Annual Effective Dose Equivalent (AEDE) and Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk (ELCR) while the calculated value exceeded the safe value for Absorbed Dose (D) and Annual Gonadal Equivalent Dose (AGED) respectively. The area is prone for health hazards and risk as many dwellers are exposing to absorbed dose due to anthropological activities.

This article presents a modeling of the dynamics of the DEF-ALFA autonomous underwater vehicle designed within the search project PID UNDEFI 484/2019 of the National Defense University. This paper proposes a previous study of the general characteristics of AUVs regarding their dynamic behavior and proposes a working model to apply it in the DEF-ALFA. On the basis of the developed model, the parameters of the vehicle were obtained and a simulation was carried out, allowing the realization of future studies to evaluate the performance of the DEF-ALFA and propose improvements.
Beyond Borders

This chapter focuses on international migrant seafarers working in the global shipping industry. It describes the ways in which the organization and fragmentation of the industry combine with the mobile nature of cargo ships to create a highly challenging environment for the regulation of labor standards. Drawing on the example of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Maritime Labour Convention (2006) it considers what facilitates, and conversely undermines, the effectiveness of global regulation in practice. It concludes that international standards are most influential when they are mandatory and when they can be subject to minimal interpretation, and it argues that regulatory “guidance” is largely ineffectual.

From 1996 to 2008, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) grew by one million members, which significantly increased its dues income and political fundraising. This did not happen by accident. This chapter details how President Andy Stern and his supporters changed the union in very specific and systematic ways. We detail the change process, rooted in a four-year convention cycle of evaluation, planning, and implementation at all levels of the union and examine in more detail four highly interrelated dimensions of internal organizational change: resources, structure, leadership, and branding. We argue that a key aspect of SEIU’s change process is careful attention to both planning and implementation including goal-setting and sanctioning mechanisms. We also describe some of the difficulties and trade-offs that help to define the union today.
Black Rodeo: A History of the African American Western
Authors: Mask Mia
Published: September 2023

From the days of silent cinema through the 1970s, the western was the most prolific and popular American film genre. In Black Rodeo Mia Mask examines the cinematic history and the visual culture of African American westerns. By placing the mythic figure of the black cowboy-hero into a historical context, Black Rodeo analyzes phases in the evolution of this underexplored genre. The book begins with post-World War II social problem pictures that emerged in the 1950s and ’60s. In chapter 1 the early films of football-heroes-turned-movie-stars like Woody Strode and Jim Brown are discussed. In chapter 2 Black Rodeo considers the star vehicles of Academy Award winner Sidney Poitier, including his foray into the western as a director. Fred Williamson is a case study in chapter 3, which encompasses the Nigger Charley trilogy and a discussion of the first Black comic book hero, Lobo. Williamson’s star vehicles parallel the transition from Black liberation to Black westploitation. The experiences of rodeo-riding cowboys and cowgirls are examined in an analysis of Jeff Kanew’s cinéma verité-style documentary, Black Rodeo, in chapter 4. Chapter 5 demonstrates the relationship between past and present by putting contemporary revisionist westerns like Posse, Rosewood, Cutting Horse, Django Unchained, and The Harder They Fall into dialogue with their cinematic predecessors.

Context: The present experimental conditions of the molybdenum blue spectrophotometric method, used for antioxidant activity estimation, promote the degradation of flavonoids with potential interferences in the above determination. Aims: To evaluate the effects of physicochemical factors on the formation of the complex for optimizing the total antioxidant activity method to better estimate the antioxidant activity of natural products. Methods: A 34-1 fractional experimental design was applied. Independent variables were temperature, color development time, type of acid and acidity, and the dependent variable was the absorbance of the complex. The concentration of ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate and sodium hydrogen phosphate remained constant throughout the study. The effects of the reducing agent and its concentration were studied independently. The effect of acidity in a wide range of values, the color development time considering temperature, the influence of co-solvents, and the antioxidant activity of various natural metabolites were also evaluated. Results: Acid concentration and temperature greatly influenced the complex formation, making the type of acid and incubation time less significant. Ascorbic acid showed a shorter color development time than reference metabolites. Ethanol negatively influenced the amount of complex formed. The proposed conditions for developing this method were: type of acid, HCl or H2SO4; acid concentration 0.01 N; incubation temperature 65°C; and incubation time 40 min. Under these experimental conditions, the ranking order of antioxidant activity was pyrogallol>quercetin>ascorbic acid>gallic acid>rutin. Conclusions: The new experimental conditions for the molybdenum complex assay give a more reliable determination of the antioxidant activity of natural products.
Transformación de la categoría social chola, desde el ámbito privado en el ámbito público en el Cusco
Authors: Sandy Bárbara Santisteban Mendoza Sandy Bárbara
Published: September 2023

El presente ensayo explora y descubre cómo la categoría chola va transformando su definición y ganando independencia y reconocimiento social, transgrediendo un orden rígido establecido en el seno de una sociedad post colonialista patriarcal tradicional, dividida en clase, raza y sexo. Un orden fundamentado en el pensamiento dicotómico del ámbito privado versus el ámbito público, entendiéndose, lo privado como sinónimo de lo femenino y doméstico y, lo público como lo masculino y representativo, articulado y justificado por la ideología de la decencia, que a su vez refuerza las concepciones de clase, raza y sexo a partir de las cuales se clasifica y margina a sus habitantes. La chola se vale de la coyuntura socio-económica en los años 50 en la ciudad del Cusco, para abrirse camino como una categoría social visible y pública, contribuyendo a la transformación de estructura social de la ciudad del Cusco
