Denying the Existence of Consensus or Denying its Probative Value? A Critique of McIntyre’s Proposal Concerning Science Denial
Authors: Cormick Claudio Javier , Edelsztein Valeria Carolina
Published: August 2024

In this article, we try to argue, against McIntyre’s proposal in How to talk to a science denier, that there is a relevant difference between various forms of science denialism. Specifically, we contend that there is a significant distinction to be made between those forms of denialism which deny the existence of an expert consensus (the model of which is the strategy of the tobacco companies in the 1950s) and those which deny the probatory value of such expert consensus (on the basis, e.g., of conspiracy theories involving scientists). While McIntyre and others advocate for the value of communicating consensus as an effective and perfectly rational strategy against those forms of denialism which deceivingly deny the existence of scientific agreement, we argue that this approach becomes question-begging against those which deny its probatory value. Accordingly, then, we object to McIntyre’s characterization that “all science denial is basically the same” and suggest a more nuanced understanding of the phenomenon.
Guardian of society: Civil society in Nigeria’s response to COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Ifejika Solomon I.
Published: August 2024

The rapid breakout and dissemination of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection from the city of Wuhan, China, to the rest of the countries of the world in December 2019 triggered a situation that led the World Health Organization to report it as a global public health emergency. The pandemic resulted in abrupt and significant loss of lives, disruption of economies, loss of livelihoods, and severe hardship across the nations of the world. Nigeria encountered the COVID-19 reality following the discovery of the first case of the infection in the country on February 27, 2020, prompting the government to swing into action to contain its spread. However, the government’s response to the pandemic benefited from the support of nonstate actors from the profit and nonprofit sectors. This study, thus, specifically examined the role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in Nigeria’s response to the coronavirus crisis. Using data obtained through secondary sources and analysis of thematic and descriptive-interpretive methods, the study found that CSOs impressively contributed to the government’s fight against COVID-19, particularly in view of their roles in creating awareness about the virus and rebutting disinformation regarding the disease, among others. Yet, CSOs encountered some problems while undertaking these roles, prominently the closure of the civic space, noninclusion of CSOs in government’s pandemic response architecture, and loss of funding. The study recommends, among other things, that in the case of any future public health emergencies of COVID-19 magnitude, the Nigerian Government should make CSOs an integral part of its response structure, while concluding that the application of these measures would incentivize better contributions from CSOs.

Published: August 2024

Publicly accessible weather radar data have significant capabilities for meteorological measurements and predictions and, further, have the potential to measure nonmeteorological events that include smoke, ash, and debris plumes as well as explosions. The ability to identify and track nonmeteorological events can be of assistance in emergency response, hazard mitigation, and related activities in locations where radar coverage both exists and is recorded and accessible to the user. In this study, events from multiple locations in the United States that are reported in news outlets are assessed using a manual inspection process of Level 2 weather radar data to identify anthropogenic and nonbiological returns. Explosive events are also identified, and a large high-altitude debris cloud from the intentional destruction of the SpaceX Starship is tracked across a wide area. Finally, future efforts using a machine learning model are discussed as a means of automating the process and potentially enabling near-real-time nonmeteorological event identification in the same areas where the data are accessible. Using weather radar data can be a valuable new tool for Department of Defense systems to aid in military awareness, and for interagency emergency response and forensic mission experts to consider national weather service data in their mission profiles. Radar data can be effective in detecting several common types of emergencies and inform and aid response personnel.

We conducted a cross - sectional study, from Jan 2021 to May 2021, on COVID-19 cases of the POYUN factory outbreak in Hai Duong province, to describe clinical features and explore IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 status. Data from COVID-19 patients were extracted from the National Notifiable Infectious Disease Information System, and 137 blood samples were collected for ELISA testing; statistical analyses were conducted using STATA version 16.0. Among 182 COVID-19 patients, females accounted for 73.6%, the mean age was 30.2 ± 6.1. Approximately 40% of patients had onset symptom(s); the incubation period was 7.6 (95%CI: 6.5 - 8.7) days. Clinical symptoms included fatigue (36.3%), cough (34.6%), sore throat (32.4%), and fever (31.3%); other symptoms such as muscle/joint pain, and chill,… ranged from 24% - 30%. Nearly 65% of blood samples were IgG-positive; higher IgG (+) proportions were seen among patients with onset symptoms (77.4%), fever (82.4%), chill (85.7%), muscle/joint pain (84.8%), and loss of taste/smell (96.1%). The median time of IgG antibody response was 50 days post-infection, and 65.5% of patients who contracted COVID-19 ≥ 45 days had IgG (+) in their blood samples. COVID-19 patients presented with fever, muscle/joint pain, cough, and loss of taste/smell were more likely to be IgG positive. The limitations of our research included small sample size, using the convenient sampling method, and using one cut point for ELISA testing… which may lead to potential bias. In conclusion, patients in the POYUN outbreak showed specific symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The IgG antibody response among COVID-19 patients was not prolonged and was associated with presented symptoms.

A cross - sectional study conducted in Cao Bang Province during 2018 to 2022, aimed to describe the status of rabies vaccination during that period. Cao Bang was recorded 11179 case exposure to rabies. The results showed that a total of 22,080 rabies vaccinations were administered, with 53.8% of the recipients being men and 46.2% being women. The most common age group taken post-exposure prophylaxis against rabies was 25 - 49 years old, accounted for 34.6% of the vaccinations. Dogs were the primary source of rabies transmission to humans. Of the animal involved, 72.0% of it remained in normal health condition. Leg bites were the most common occurrence, made up 58.1% and grade II wounds comprised 60.5% of the cases. Interestingly, 94.4% of patients sought early preventive treatment within 10 days of exposure. The rate of patients experiencing local reactions after vaccination was 3.64%, while 4.85% had systemic reactions. The majority of adverse reactions caused by post-exposure prophylaxis was pain (3.44%), while the most common systemic adverse reaction was fever (3.17%). Through the above information, we make recommendations for rabies prevention in Cao Bang province such as raising people’s awareness, especially for men, for children, management and paying attention to animals (confine, chain, vaccination, monitoring, etc.,) and when people at risk of exposure to rabies virus they need to go to medical centers as soon as possible for prophylaxis treatment and explaining adverse reactions after rabies vaccination is necessary to make people feel more secure.

Gully erosion is a devastating form of soil degradation threatening environmental sustainability, socio-economic development, and human well-being worldwide. The Southeastern region of Nigeria, particularly Ukpor, is prone to gully erosion, which has resulted in the loss of infrastructure, agricultural land, and human settlements. While various factors contribute to gully erosion, the soil’s geotechnical properties remain an important aspect that has been given limited attention. This study investigates the implications of geotechnical properties of soils in the development of gully erosion in Ukpor. A comprehensive approach was adopted, combining drone-aided geologic field mapping, laboratory tests and spatial analysis. Soil samples were collected from different locations at 0.5 – 1m depth, and laboratory tests (Particle Size Distribution (PSD) and Atterberg Limits) were conducted to determine the soil’s geotechnical properties. The results reveal that the study area is underlain by the Ogwashi-Asaba formation. From the Particle Size Distribution and Atterberg Limit tests, the soils in the area were classified into 3; Group A (coarse-grained clayey sands), Group B (coarse-grained poorly graded to clayey sands) and Group C (poorly-graded coarse-grained sands). The Plasticity Index (PI) of Group A ranges from 13.4 – 18.2 while the Liquid Limit (LL) ranges from 27.8 to 34.9. The PI of Group B ranges from 15.49 to 17.35 while the LL ranges from 30.7 to 35.7, From the results, Group C soils were most affected by gullying. Given the above, the underlying soil strata of Ukpor metropolis could be classified as low plasticity soil, thus, highly susceptible to erosion. The results show a significant correlation between soil geotechnical properties and gully erosion susceptibility. The results have pivotal implications for soil conservation, sustainable land management, and infrastructure development in Ukpor and similar regions. The study recommends soil stabilization techniques and vegetation management strategies to mitigate gully erosion.

Published: August 2024

This paper explored wildlife habitat conservation as a tool for containing animal to human transmission of virus. Available statistics shows that infectious viral diseases known to have troubled man have always been transmitted to humans through animals, hence the need for this paper. The objectives of this paper are: to review the origin of COVID-19 pandemic; to discuss wildlife conservation as a tool for containing animal to human spread of virus diseases. Observation and review of related literature were the methods used. This paper reveals that COVID-19 originated in an animal market located in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China through human interaction with pangolin which is primary carriers of the virus. This transmission was attributed to illegal poaching of pangolin that is already endangered species. Wildlife habitat conservation was further identified as a tool for preventing future pandemics. Human encroachment upon wildlife habitat has resulted to several infectious diseases that have killed many persons. Some suggestions were made to enhance wildlife conservation, they include, stopping all wildlife trade by permanently closing markets were wildlife are sold; rigorous enforcement of laws, regulation and international treaties on wildlife and enactment of new effective policies as well; provision of sustainably produced poultry, fish, invertebrates and plant protein as source of protein instead of seeking wildlife; good funding and support should be provided for agencies in-charge of protecting wildlife; education and awareness should also be created in order to motivate people to voluntarily renege from wildlife poaching. There is need for government and wildlife conservation agencies to step up efforts at conserving wildlife through implementation of these recommendations.

Published: August 2024

The great advance of todayâ€™s business is certainly supported by the existence of banks loan facility. However, banks will not easily grant the loans to just anybody since there would be a probability that banks meet with the default risk. To reduce the impact of the risk, they require a guarantee. For banks, the guarantee shall legally provide them a protection, security and certainty in getting their loan repayment. As a common form, banks usually ask for property as collateral, but sometimes banks meet difficulty to execute it. Hence, nowadays, the banks will also ask for a personal guarantee. Personal guarantee is an agreement in which a third party agrees to fulfill the obligation of the debtor if debtor himself fail to do so. The personal guarantor has big responsibilities, even into the realm of bankruptcy. Even though a personal guarantor is not a debtor, a creditor may file him a bankruptcy petition to the Commercial Court if he meets the bankruptcy requirement. Problems then arise when a personal guarantor dies and it causes the creditors to lose a person who guarantees the debtorâ€™s obligation. This research tackles with the problems by using a normative juridical approach with descriptive analysis of secondary data which consist of primary law materials and secondary law materials. The study shows that the death of personal guarantor causes the rights and obligations of personal guarantor upon the agreement are passed to his heirs. Consequently, his heirs as the party who do not involve in the loan agreement and the personal guarantee agreement may be filed the bankruptcy petition by the creditor as it is usually filed to the personal guarantor.

Background of Studied In December 2003, Indonesia passed the final piece of legislation in its labour law reform program. One month later, this received presidential assent and was introduced as Act Number 2 of 2004 on Industrial Relations Disputes Settlement. To allow for the necessary preparations for the transition, this law came into effect in January 2006. This Act repealed the 1957 regulation on Industrial Dispute Settlement and Law Number 12 of 1964 on Termination in Private Enterprises, whereby disputes between workers and employers were to first be reported to the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration .Under the former system, an officer from the the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration would mediate the matter or refer it to compulsory arbitration by a Local Labour Dispute Resolution Committee. Appeals were then sent to the Central Labour Dispute Resolution Committee in Jakarta. These Committees consisted of the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration officials, and representatives from employers and the AllIndonesia Workers’ Union. The Committees operated through an informal process, but had the authority to make legally binding decisions. There were no time limitations on the settlement of disputes before the Committees and individual workers did not have legal standing to bring individual disputes to the Committees. The Indonesian Minister of Manpower could veto all decisions. Disputes are to be resolved by a range of methods, including: · Bipartite negotiation; · Mediation; · Arbitration; · Determination by a panel of judges of the Industrial Tribunal; and · Appeals to the Supreme Court. ACT No.2 of 2004 Page | 18 The Industrial Dispute Settlement Law in its present form may go a long way to assisting in the development of a fair and effective labour dispute settlement system in Indonesia.

This research is motivated by the problem of gender inequality issues in women's lives that are still often reported by the mass media. Among the mass media that reported this was the daily newspaper Kompas, especially in an opinion piece entitled Perempuan dan Mimpinya published on June 6, 2024. Based on the background of the problem depicted in the Women and Their Dreams (Perempuan dan Mimpinya) opinion, the purpose of writing this article is to describe how women are viewed by the mass media and their relationship to the current social reality of society. The collection of research data was carried out using reading techniques, including the steps of reading carefully and repeatedly the opinions that were the source of research data, marking vocabulary, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs that were in accordance with the criteria of the research problem, recording and inventorying them in an inventory table. The data was analyzed using an interactive method to reveal the position of women behind the text Women and Their Dreams (Perempuan dan Mimpinya) and its relationship to the current social reality of society. Analysis of the research data shows three things. First, the position of the subject in the discourse of the Perempuan dan Mimpinya opinion is occupied by the author who acts as the storyteller, while the position of the object is occupied by women. Second, the author tries to direct the reader to become the actor of the story by presenting a pseudo reality and cultural code in the text that seems to be the reality in the reader's real life. Third, the meaning of the entire discourse of opinion on Women and Their Dreams shows that in the domestic and public spaces women are still not fully able to become a gender group that is equal to the masculine gender group.

Green human resource management is the adoption of policies and practices to attain sustainable use of a firm's resources while enhancing environmental sustainability, which also boosts employee morale and satisfaction with firm performance. Level Five hospitals in Kenya are increasingly expected by law to implement environmentally sustainable practices. This study aimed to determine the effect of green occupational safety and health on the performance of devolved healthcare services in Kenya. A mixed-methods research design was used, whereby the researchers combined the elements of quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study targeted 5,960 employees working in 12 Level 5 hospitals in Kenya. This study applied multi-stage random sampling, which refers to dividing the population into units or smaller and smaller groups and selecting the sample (Kothari, 2019). In the first stage, simple random sampling was used to select four of the 12 Level Five hospitals with an accessible population of 1310. In the second stage, purposive sampling was used to select a sample of 131 respondents, representing 10% of the accessible population (Mugenda & Mugenda, 2013). Data collection tools were questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis. Quantitative data was analyzed descriptively and inferentially while qualitative data was subjected to content analysis. The findings revealed a strong positive and significant relationship between green occupational safety and health and the performance of devolved healthcare services in Kenya. The study concluded that green occupational safety and health had a significant effect on the performance of devolved healthcare services. The study recommended that devolved healthcare services should improve if they continuously used green occupational safety and health management systems that reduce accidents and injuries; utilized paperless offices so as to create a clean and safe work environment; applied eco-friendly medical waste disposal methods such as waste minimization, segregation, and recycling; used eco-friendly safety gadgets; and conducted regular safety and health audits.
