Willingness to pay for a tobacco-free life: a contingent valuation assessment
Authors: Jain Yogesh Kumar , Bhardwaj Pankaj , Joshi Nitin Kumar , Gupta Manoj Kumar , Goel Akhil Dhanesh , Sharma Prem Prakash
Published: August 2024

Tobacco, being an established risk factor for significant mortality and morbidity, causes over 7 million annual deaths globally. India is a country with over 270 million active tobacco users. On the one hand, although the willingness to quit amongst tobacco users is as high as 55.4%, the actual quit rates translate to less than 20%. Taking a cue from the economic principle of commitment and consistency, paying a nominal fee can serve as a form of public commitment and motivation to decrease the dropout rate amongst those committed to quitting. This study uses contingent valuation assessment to determine the willingness to pay (WTP) values for an effective tobacco cessation service across individuals with different socio-demographic characteristics. A cross-sectional observational study with multistage cluster sampling in Rajasthan was conducted to recruit 360 active tobacco users from 8 districts. Q-Q plots were used to determine the non-parametric distribution, and statistical differences between median WTP values were compared using Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H tests, considering a p-value less than 0.05 to be statistically significant. The majority of participants were males (57.78%) between the ages of 26 and 35 (40.28%), married (82.50%), and with children (65.83%), with an annual income between USD 7500-10,000 (23.61%) and graduate-level education (40.56%). Exclusive smokers formed the majority of the cohort (48.06%), and 50.83% were willing to quit as well as willing to pay for cessation. Median WTP values were maximum for males (USD 54.05; p<0.05), age group 26-35 years (USD 54.05; p<0.05), post-graduates (USD 81.08; p<0.05), and annual income above USD 20,000 (USD 121.62; p<0.05). Weak positive and significant correlations were observed between WTP and annual spending on tobacco, annual spending on health, and annual income. The study emphasizes the critical importance of early-age interventions for effective tobacco cessation prior to transitioning into dependency, resulting in reduced financial parity for availing health services. These are the first such WTP values from the Southeast Asian region, tailored for different population subsets, specifically for tobacco cessation. Our findings contribute to the growing body of evidence to support innovative approaches to enhance tobacco cessation efforts through financial commitments.
Privacy Paradox in Industry 4.0: A review of library information services and data protection
Authors: Ocks Yumnaa , Salubi Oghenere G.
Published: August 2024

Background: In the wake of Industry 4.0, libraries are integrating Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies to enhance efficiency. However, this shift in practice raises ethical and privacy concerns, particularly regarding the Protection of Personal Information Act (PoPI Act).Objectives: This literature review explores the ethical and privacy challenges posed by 4IR technologies in delivering information services to library patrons including the impact on PoPI Act compliance in addressing data privacy concerns.Method: Adopting a systematic approach, this literature review employs the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses flowchart and inclusion criteria focussed on 4IR in libraries and its relation to the PoPI Act. Peer-reviewed articles in English from 2013 to 2023 were sourced from scholarly databases.Results: The review highlights the transformation of academic library services in the 4IR era and the consequent privacy challenges. Concerns arise from advanced library systems and extensive data retention. While libraries operate non-profitably, the adoption of 4IR technologies for data acquisition mirrors commercial practices, raising ethical questions. Patron privacy issues extend beyond traditional data collection to potential misuse and improper data handling as libraries often work with vendors.Conclusion: The integration of 4IR technologies in academic libraries necessitates a delicate balance between improved services and safeguarding user privacy and the PoPI Act serves as a crucial regulatory framework. Librarians must navigate the evolving landscape of data ethics, emphasising transparency, accountability and adherence to privacy legislation.Contribution: The introduction of artificial intelligence and 4IR technologies to library information services has unlimited possibilities including countering misinformation and disinformation, and the expansion of library services to tech-savvy users beyond the physical walls of the library building. However, the deployment of these technologies raises new questions about ethical concerns that the use of these technologies poses to information professionals in the rendition of library services. The results of this study will be useful for policy and professional practice in taking full advantage of 4IR technologies and services.
Preparation and Microstructural Characteristics of Ti Nanopowder by Ball Milling and Dehydrogenation of TiH2 Powder
Authors: Kim Ji Young , Lee Eui Seon , Choi Ji Won , Kim Youngmin , Oh Sung-Tag
Published: August 2024

This study analyzed the influence of ball size and process control agents on the refinement and dehydrogenation behavior of TiH2 powder. Powders milled using ZrO2 balls with diameters of 0.1 mm, 0.3 mm, and 0.3+0.5+1 mm exhibited a bimodal particle size distribution, of which the first mode had the smallest size of 0.23 μm for the 0.3 mm balls. Using ethanol and/or stearic acid as process control agents was effective in particle refinement. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that dehydrogenation of the milled powder started at a relatively low temperature compared to the raw powder, which is interpreted to have resulted from a decrease in particle size and an increase in defects. The dehydrogenation kinetics of the TiH2 powder were evaluated by the magnitude of peak shift with heating rates using thermogravimetric analysis. The activation energy of the dehydrogenation reaction, calculated from the slope of the Kissinger plot, was measured to be 228.6 kJ/mol for the raw powder and 194.5 kJ/mol for the milled powder. TEM analysis revealed that both the milled and dehydrogenated powders showed an angular shape with a size of about 200 nm.

Serum procalcitonin and C-reactive protein as indices of early sepsis and mortality in North Indian pediatric burn injuries: a prospective evaluation and literature review
Authors: Aggarwal Nupur , Karki Durga , Gaind Rajni , Matlani Monika , Muthukumar Vamseedharan
Published: August 2024

Background: Delays in diagnosing sepsis in children afflicted with thermal injuries can result in high morbidity and mortality. Our study evaluated the role of the biomarkers Procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) as predictors of early sepsis and mortality, respectively, in this group of patients. Methods: This was a prospective evaluation of 90 pediatric burn cases treated at a tertiary care burn center in Northern India. Patients, aged 1–16 years, presenting within 24 hours of being burned, with >10% body surface area of burn injury were included in the study. Levels of PCT and CRP were measured on days 1, 3, 5, and 7. Patients were followed until discharge, 30th post-burn day, or death, whichever occurred first. Results: Sepsis was clinically present in 49 of 90 (54.4%) cases with a median 30% total body surface area (TBSA) of burns. Mortality was seen in 31 of 90 (34.4%) cases with a median of 35% TBSA burns. High PCT and CRP were seen in the sepsis group, particularly on days 3, 5, and 7. PCT was also significantly higher in the mortality group (days 1 and 3). Conclusions: While PCT was a good early predictor of sepsis and mortality in children with burns, CRP was reliable as a predictor of sepsis only. Both markers, however, can serve as adjuncts to culture sensitivity reports for diagnosing early onset sepsis and initiation of antibiotic therapy in appropriate patients.

TINJAUAN DAKWAH DALAM QS. AL-MUDDATSTSIR/74:1-7
Authors: Muh. Aswad
Published: August 2024

Tulisan ini memberikan Pesan dakwah dan kandungan QS.al-Muddatstsir/74:1-7, tentang perintah pengagungan Allah swt; perintah mensucikan pakaian dalam arti akhlak, hati dan jiwa; menjauhi perintah dari perbuatan syirik; jangan memberi maksud memperoleh balasan atau imbalan ketika melakukan dakwah; dan agar tabah dan sabar dalam mengahadapi penderitaan dalam perjuangan yang sangat diperlukan kesabaran , dan tahan menderita karena Allah swt. Surah al-Muddatstsir terdiri atas 56 ayat, termasuk golongan surah-surah Makkiyah. Dinamai “Al-Muddatstsir” (orang yang berkemul) diambil dari perkataan “Al-Muddatstsir” Dalam ayat pertama surah ini, dapat diinterpretasikan bahwa bimbingan yang disebutkan lebih ditujukan kepada para juru dakwah setelah Nabi Muhammad saw. Dalam menjalankan tugas dakwahnya, Nabi Muhammad saw. diarahkan untuk memberi tanpa mengharapkan imbalan yang lebih besar. Ini berarti beliau harus berkorban, berusaha, dan menghadapi banyak penderitaan dalam usahanya yang tak terelakkan. Tujuan beliau adalah berjuang semata-mata karena Allah swt, bukan untuk mencari upah dari usahanya tersebut.

Published: August 2024

Artikel ini menyoroti perbandingan antara praktik dakwah melalui tulisan (bi al-qalam) pada masa kenabian dengan praktik yang ada pada masa kekinian. Metodologi penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan deskriptif-komparatif. Data historis dan kontemporer dianalisis untuk mengeksplorasi praktik dakwah bi al-qalam dalam konteks sejarah dan juga realitas masa kini. Dakwah bi al-qalam secara historis dan substansial bukanlah entitas yang baru ada, melainkan sudah dipraktikkan dalam perjuangan dakwah Rasulullah Muhammad saw. Persamaan dakwah bi al-qalam pada masa kenabian dan kekinian terletak pada aspek pesan, objek, tujuan, dan efeknya. Sementara perbedaannya terletak pada aspek subjek, bentuk, dan jenis medianya. Praktik dakwah bi al-qalam sejak masa kenabian hingga kini menandakan universalitas dakwah Islam, di mana sasarannya tidak terbatas pada kaum muslim saja, namun juga kaum kafir, serta tidak terbatas pada bentuk dan media tertentu, namun berkembang dinamis seiring kemajuan teknologi sebagaimana ajaran Islam yang senantiasa relevan pada setiap zaman dan tempat (saliḥ fī kulli zamān wa makān).

A Century of Medical Students’ Activities (Medical College Union/Medical Society)
Authors: Low SW , Gan WT , Tan WK
Published: August 2024

The Medical College Union (MCU) was formed in 1922 to encourage and promote comrade-ship and public spirit amongst the students of King Edward VII College of Medicine. The Medical College Union Society was founded and held its first meeting on 31 July 1936. However, the Annual Report for 1940-42 made no reference to the Society at all and it was hence considered to cease to exist as an official body. The Medical Society (Medsoc), headed by Mr Goon Sek Mun, was formed in 1949 and it organised various activities and events for the faculty. Some of these are still being held annually today, with the addition of several others and phasing out of some. These were organised by the individual subgroups in the Medical society, like the Social, Welfare, Sports and Publications committees. The Medsoc also acts as the students’ voice in conveying their opinions to the administration and the Dean. With the expected advent of a new medical school in Singapore – a postgraduate one in the Outram Campus, the medical student community in Singapore will only get larger. There should be a role for Medsoc to foster closer ties between the student communities.
Should Singapore have a Second Medical School?
Authors: Hwang PLH
Published: August 2024

The case for establishing a second medical school in Singapore is strong. Given the recent explosive advances in medicine and biology, Singapore has identified the life sciences as an area of great economic potential, and aspires to become a regional “medical hub” capable of achieving excellence in healthcare, medical education and biomedical research. The existing medical faculty at the National University of Singapore is currently taking in 230 students per year, creating a very heavy teaching load which, coupled with even heavier clinical duties, makes it extraordinarily difficult for staff members to derive professional satisfaction and to pursue research interests. Creating a second medical school will alleviate some of these problems, which have contributed in no small way to the exodus of experienced clinicians and teachers to the private sector. Perhaps more importantly, having a second medical school will permit direct comparisons of the relative merits of different approaches to medical education, healthcare, and administrative practices. This in turn should lead to improvements in all these areas, thereby creating working environments more likely to satisfy staff aspirations, improve medical education and enhance research. Concerns about possible “unhealthy competition” and “costly duplication” with the establishment of a second medical school are largely unfounded if resources are managed appropriately.

The Teaching of Anatomy: The First Hundred Years (1905-2005)
Authors: Wong WC , Tay SSW
Published: August 2024

The Straits and Federated Malay States Government Medical School started on 3 July 1905 with the admission of 16 young persons for the full 5-year course. In 1910, 7 successful candidates qualified as medical practitioners and they were no more than 19 years of age. The medical course was based largely on the British system and consisted of 2 years of training in the basic sciences followed by 3 years of clinical clerkships in Medicine, Surgery and Midwifery. Anatomy was taught in the first year and extended into the second year, using cadavers (which were possibly fixed in formalin and glycerin) as study materials. The first Chair of Anatomy was established in 1922 and with the provision of full-time staff, the curriculum was brought in line with those conducted in the British colonies. From the mid-1960s to the mid-1990s, the Anatomy course for medical students spanned 1½ years, with special emphasis on clinical applications, thereby projecting the professional relevance of the course. Big class lectures introduced and previewed important structures that were encountered in dissections and small group tutorials reviewed the tutorial objectives that had been made available earlier. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the medical curriculum was further revised to meet the challenges of the 21st century. A track system was developed and Human Anatomy came under the “Human Structure and Development Track”. The original 1½ -year programme was tailored into a 1-year programme with a drastic reduction in teaching/contact hours, but the big class lectures and small group tutorials plus dissections/prosections were retained. Beginning in the academic year 2003/2004, prosected cadavers (dissected by professional staff) were employed for teaching purposes due to a progressive fall in the availability of cadavers and time constraints imposed by the introduction of several new modules. Teachers demonstrate and students learn on prosected materials and the success of this new mode of teaching-learning can only be seen in the near future.

Authors: Cunha Carlos Alberto Soares , Vieira Neto Julio , Rangel Luis Alberto Duncan
Published: August 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate and gather, through documentary research, the common criteria in the Integrated Reports of mixed capital companies, specifically financial institutions, for the period from 2020 to 2022.
 
Theoretical Framework: This section presents the main concepts and theories that support the research, divided into: Accountability Unit, Mixed Capital Companies, and Integrated Reporting. These topics will serve as the foundation for understanding the research question and for supporting the study’s findings.
 
Methodology: The methodology of this study involved a documentary research of the integrated reports published on the Federal Court of Accounts website and on the organizations' websites. First, the companies were selected, and then the integrated reports were gathered for analysis. Subsequently, the common criteria in the reports from 2020 to 2022 were identified.
 
Analysis and Discussion of Results: The analysis of the Integrated Reports of Brazilian mixed capital companies, specifically financial institutions, for the years 2020 to 2022, revealed several common criteria used by these organizations in preparing their reports. As a result, the analysis showed that the most common criteria among mixed capital companies are related to General Contents, Economic Performance, Materials, Energy, Employment, Training and Education, and Diversity and Equal Opportunities.
 
Research Implications: The implication of the research lies in the fact that the criteria identified through the analysis will serve as a foundation for other studies aimed at developing a multicriteria decision-making method, through group decision-making, capable of evaluating the sustainable performance of mixed capital companies.
 
Originality/Value: The originality and value of this research lie in the identification of common criteria in the Integrated Reports of mixed capital companies, specifically financial institutions, between 2020 and 2022. This detailed analysis not only reveals significant patterns but also establishes a solid foundation for the development of multicriteria decision-making methods. This will facilitate the evaluation of the sustainable performance of these organizations, significantly contributing to the literature and providing new tools for researchers and professionals in the fields of sustainability and corporate transparency.
The Intersection Between E-Tax Administration, Sustainable Public Procurement and Sustainable Public Performance: A Review Conceptual Framework
Authors: Abiddin Norhasni Zainal , Akinyemi Gbenga
Published: August 2024

Objective:  This study centers on exploring, from the prisms of previous established studies, the influence of e-tax administration and sustainable public procurement on sustainable development and growth. This aims to find out how the employment and engagement of the intervention of e-taxation and sustainable public procurement could be harnessed to promote an overall sustainable development in a country, especially in an African context.  It is on this note the study attempts to direct its focus, albeit partial, on the West African countries of Nigeria and Ghana.
 
Theoretical framework: The study relies on the theories of Technology Acceptance Model, Stewardship Theory and Sustainable Development Theory. Technology Acceptance Model posits that technology usage promotes efficiency and transparency. By extension, e-taxation and sustainable public procurement will promote development since it relies on technology for its framework of operation.
 
Method: This study engages a literature review approach, establishes empirical connections, and relates them with the current study. Also, theoretical cues were taken from established studies to explain the focus of the study.
 
Result and conclusion:  Following empirical and theoretical directions of previous studies, it is suggested that application of e-tax administration and sustainable public procurement frameworks could promote both social and economic development in a country, especially in Africa, Nigeria, and Ghana.
 
Implication of the research:  This study is significant in promoting the importance of sustainable framework in national growth and development. Apart from promoting sustainable development, e-taxation, and sustainable public procurement, when applied helps to curtail corruption and criminal leakages of resources which have been severally attributed to public management style in Africa. Also, the study brings to the fore the roadmap to justice, equitability and inclusion using the framework of e-taxation and sustainable public procurement.
 
Originality/value:  This study is distinct in the sense that it provides a pragmatic benefits of embracing sustainability approach, rather than eulogizing its intrinsic value alone. Sustainability intrinsic values include promoting inclusion and engendering environmental safety. However, this study goes further to showcase how sustainability in public procurement with the inoculation of e-taxation administration could stop corruption and abort resources leakages.

The investigation reveals that only a limited number of sections of the text exhibited defects, specifically in the transliteration process, in which Javanese character was converted into Latin letters. The translation of the text is carried out by changing the Kawi and Javanese languages to Indonesian to make it more general. Furthermore, the language style used in Serat Piwulang Hamengkubuwana 1 is discussed. The linguistic style used is inspired by the rich tradition of the Indonesian language and Javanese culture.
A Time-Series Analysis Of Insurance Sector Density And Environmental Quality In Nigeria
Authors:   Department of Finance, Faculty of Management Sciences, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria, Tajudeen (Ph.D) KOLAPO, Funso
Published: August 2024

Nigeria is a high-polluting country, hence, carbon emissions from diverse sources tend to affect the quality of the environment. However, a high density of insurance companies in an area can lead to better risk management practices, including incentivizing policyholders to adopt environmentally-friendly measures that reduce carbon emissions. As a result, the study uses the ARDL Bounds testing framework to look at how the density of the insurance business has affected environmental quality in Nigeria from 1990 to 2021. The ARDL technique is used to look at the relationship between the research variables across the short and long run. The study showed that insurance sector density energy and renewable energy consumption increase environmental quality in Nigeria by reducing CO2 emission. The study also demonstrated that Nigeria's expanding economy (in terms of trade and economic growth) increases CO2 emission, thus affecting the quality of the environment. As a result, Nigerian government authorities should keep supporting insurance sector reforms to improve environmental quality, and insurers should reward people and businesses that use renewable energy sources and discloses their carbon emission activities. Policymakers must develop plans to increase the usage of renewable energy sources. The impact of trade openness on CO2 emission in Nigeria must be kept to a minimum, thus policymakers must establish and continuously monitor a stringent environmental regulatory framework.

Acolhimento institucional: experiências sociais de educadores e adolescentes
Authors: Silveira Alcione Januaria Teixeira da , Nogueira Marlice de Oliveira
Published: August 2024

Este artigo analisa vivências de adolescentes e educadores em uma instituição de acolhimento, tendo como referência a noção de experiência social de François Dubet. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas a adolescentes e educadores, pesquisa documental, além de questionário respondido pela psicóloga da unidade de acolhimento. Os resultados mostram sujeitos dando sentido às experiências vividas e à capacidade de dominar suas próprias vidas, sujeitos da experiência que se constituem por meio das referências culturais, na e pela atividade sobre si mesmo. A institucionalização dos adolescentes, a despeito da sua tarefa de proteção dos direitos das crianças e adolescentes contribui para reproduzir e/ou potencializar as desigualdades sociais vivenciadas e faz com que os adolescentes desapareçam (em parte) e sejam atravessados por múltiplos processos de exclusão social.
