Authors: Jameel Abbod , Raghad , Ghazal Noaman Nadhim
Published: October 2022

Background: Pediculosis capitis is an infectious disease caused by an ectoparasite human insect, can be seen with the naked eye, which often causes scalp itching, it is not a dangerous disease but annoying diseases.  Pediculosis capitis is an endemic parasitosis affecting many countries of the world ,also it is prevalent in Iraq, often affects the children ,it is an ubiquitous problem in children have high resistance to some pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of pediculosis in Baquba city and to determine certain epidemiological criteria related to pediculosis.

Patients and Methods: This cross-section study has been done on 155 patients affected by lice who were visit dermatological clinical out patient in Baquba teaching hospital Diyala, Iraq, from the first of November 2020 to the thirty of August 202, history and physical examination was done by the dermatologist, and a sheet of special questionnaire was used for every patient.   

Results: The results show that children less than 10 years were 59(38.06%) out of 155 who were mostly affected. It was more in females, they were 123(79.35%), while males they were 32(20.64%). Girls less than 10 had a   higher percentage, 39(25.16%) out of 123 females, than other age groups.   People living in urban and rural areas were equally affected; in urban areas they were 73(47.09%) while in rural areas they were 82(52.90%). Pediculosis was highly distributed among students; they were 58(37.41%) out of 155.The most significant symptom of pediculosis was scalp itching people who suffered from itching were 131(84.51%) while people who had no symptom were 24(15.48%). There was no relationship between pediculosis capitis infections and the family size. It was more prevalent in families living in overcrowded homes; they were 76(49.03%) out of 155 who had only two bedrooms. Pediculosis capitis was more common in summer months in April they were 21(15.54%) in May they were 24(16.48%) in June they were 21(15.54%) in July they were 22(14.19%).

Conclusion: Pediculosis were more prevalent among school-age children, so we must spread awareness among the student about how lice are transmitted not to share hair comb or hair clips, also raising awareness of parents about the use of effective and beneficial treatments to eliminate the disease.

Authors: Jarullah Abdullah , Fouad , Akram Abed , Bashar , Saleh Ibrahim Nazar
Published: October 2022

Background: In Iraq penetrating injuries to the abdomen caused by firearm are more common than stab wounds with remarkable mortality and morbidity.  Early recognition of the injuries and immediate treatment are mandatory in saving the lives of many of those patients.

Objective: To review the presentation and evaluate the early post-operative morbidity and mortality of abdominal bullet injuries in Baghdad teaching hospital.

Patients and Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 132 patients admitted to second surgical unit in Baghdad teaching hospital after sustaining bullet injury to the abdomen during the time period of one year from October 2013 to September 2014.

Results: The most vulnerable age group involved, between 21-30 years comprised 71.2% of total. Male to female ratio was 43:1(male comprised 97.73%). It was observed that the majority of the injured patients were military personnel (83%), associated with high velocity missiles (81%). It was seen that 96.6% of patients had positive findings during laparotomy; small intestine was involved in the majority of the patients 42.6% followed by large intestine in 35.65%, then liver in 20.86%. Majority of the patients had involvement of two organs (42%), followed by one organ in (28%). The major postoperative complications were wound infection (28.6%), followed by chest infection in (24.4%). The major cause of death was septicaemia in 80%.  

Conclusion: Explorative laparotomy continues to be the most accurate method used to diagnose the presence of penetrating intra-abdominal injuries with a negative laparotomy rate of 3.4%.  The mortality rate tended to be related to the number of intra-abdominal organs injuries; high rates of surgical site and chest infections were found and septicaemia was the chief cause of death after 48 hours. Hospital stays in our study were prolonged in comparison to other developed countries.
Interleukin 10 Gene Promoter Polymorphisms in Patients with Chronic Periodontitis
Authors: Jumaa Abd-Alkareem , Suhad , Luaiby Atrooz , Ahmed , Dhia Hasan Noor
Published: October 2022

Background: The anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin 10 (IL 10), has a crucial role in periodontal diseases. The gene coding for this cytokine is pleomorphic. In the promoter region of the IL 10 gene, two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), IL10 1082 and IL 819, have been discovered to affect IL 10 expressions.

Objective: To investigate the association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms in the interleukin 10 gene (IL-10-1082 G/A and IL-10-819 C/T) with CPO.

Patients and Methods: A total of 64 patients with chronic periodontitis (CPO) and another 40 apparently healthy individuals were enrolled in this case-control study. The IL-10 gene was amplified with two specific sets of primers. Genotyping was achieved by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR).

Results: The frequency of GG, GA and AA genotypes of the SNP IL-10-1082G/A among patients was 48.44%, 42.19% and 9.37% respectively, compared with 32.5%, 35% and 32.5% respectively, among controls. Logistic regression test revealed a significant difference in the frequency of AG (OR=0.19, 95%CI=0.06-0.62, P=0.006) and GG genotype (OR= 0.24, 95%CI=0.07-0.77, p=0.016) between patients and controls. Furthermore, the haplotype block GC (G allele of IL-10-1082G/A and C allele of IL-10-819 C/T) was more common in controls than patients (36.25% vs. 33.44%) with a significant difference (OR= 0.54, 95%CI= 0.29-0.99, p= 0.048).

Conclusion: These data suggest that the IL-10-1082 G/A gene polymorphism could be a risk factor for CPO in Iraqi patients.

Published: October 2022

Background: The quality of drinking water is directly related to community health. Therefore, improving the quality of drinking reflects positively on the health situation in general. The studies that deal with the quality of drinking water in the city of Baghdad in terms of chemical or microbial content are very scanty.

Objective: The current review highlights the most important studies and research articles that concern the quality of drinking water, both bottled water and tap water, in terms of chemical and biological contamination and chemophysical specifications for drinking water.

Abstract: Studies have shown that drinking water in the city of Baghdad, especially tap water, contains certain levels of heavy metals, and some bacterial species have also been diagnosed in drinking water transmitted through taps. But the levels of most of them are within the international standards. Although there are some indications of chemical and biological contamination.

Conclusion: Although the standard specifications for drinking water in the city of Baghdad are acceptable, the pollution indicators in both tap water and bottled water should be monitored seasonally.

Authors: A Kheder Khrwatany , Khurshid , H Shekhani , Farman , Qader Ahmed Jamal
Published: October 2022

Background: Palpation is a crucial component of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) examination in identifying tenderness. One-finger one-point palpation has a high tendency for inappropriate application and misinterpretation.

Objective: To evaluate three-point vs one-point palpation in determination of TMJ tenderness.

Patients and Methods: The study included fourth and fifth-year students in the College of Dentistry/Hawler Medical University. All students were examined using both one-point and three-point techniques. Two essential elements were recorded for each TMJ: tenderness and clicking.

Results: A total of 76 students (152 TMJs); 40 female and 37 male, were included. One-point TMJ tenderness was present in 41 (26.7%) and three-point TMJ tenderness was present in 114 (75%) TMJs (P=0.0001), with a sensitivity of 75% and specificity of 73%. Clicking, in three-point, 14 (9.21%), in one-point, 22 (14.47%) TMJs were with (P=0.2136) with a sensitivity of 18.42% and specificity of 71%.

Conclusion: Three-point technique can be used for palpation of TMJ, especially for detection of joint tenderness. Better not to be used for clicking evaluation.

Authors: Modher Khalaf Ahmed
Published: October 2022

Background: Acute appendicitis is considered the most common surgical emergency in both adults and children. Open rather than laparoscopic appendectomy is still the most commonly performed procedure.

Objective: To assess the effect of non-closure of the peritoneum during appendectomy on postoperative pain and finally on the analgesia requirement.

Patients and Methods: Two hundred patients underwent appendicectomy. The patients were divided into two equal groups; each had one hundred patients. Group 1 (control or closure Group) in which, the peritoneum is closed; in group 2 (study or non-closure Group), the peritoneum is left alone without closing it.

Results: The mean pain score in the non-closure group was less compared to that in the closure group. A significant decrease in parenteral analgesia requirements was shown in the non-closure group compared to the closure group.

Conclusion: Leaving the peritoneum not sutured during appendicectomy has a positive outcome on postoperative pain and decreases the requirement for analgesia.

Published: October 2022

Diabetes mellitus is one of medical science’s most important research topics because of the disease’s severe consequences. High blood glucose levels characterize it. Early detection of diabetes is made possible by machine learning techniques with their intelligent capabilities to accurately predict diabetes and prevent its complications. Therefore, this study aims to find a machine learning approach that can more accurately predict diabetes. This study compares the performance of various classical machine learning models with the hybrid machine learning approach. The hybrid model includes the homogenous model, which comprises Random Forest, AdaBoost, XGBoost, Extra Trees, Gradient Booster, and the heterogeneous model that uses stacking ensemble methods. The stacking ensemble or stacked generalization approach is a meta-classifier in which multiple learners collaborate for prediction. The performance of the homogeneous hybrid models, Stacked Generalization and the classic machine learning methods such as Naive Bayes and Multilayer Perceptron, k-Nearest Neighbour, and support vector machine are compared. The experimental analysis using Pima Indians and the early-stage diabetes dataset demonstrates that the hybrid models achieve higher accuracy in diagnosing diabetes than the classical models. In the comparison of all the hybrid models, the heterogeneous model using the Stacked Generalization approach outperformed other models by achieving 83.9% and 98.5%. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-01-08 Full Text: PDF

Loneliness and quality of life: Perceived online and offline social support among Sub-Saharan African students in China during the COVID-19 lockdowns
Authors: Akintunde Tosin Yinka , Isangha Stanley Oloji , Kodzo Lalit Dzifa , Ibrahim Elhakim
Published: October 2022

Objective/background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted education globally, triggering fear and uncertainties for students. However, there is currently no research evidence to document the loneliness experience of Sub-Saharan African (SSA) students in China and how social support influenced their quality of life (QoL). This study explored the effect of COVID-19-induced loneliness and social support on the QoL of SSA students in China.

Method: The study adopted an institutional-based cross-sectional survey through an online questionnaire on social media platforms to investigate the QoL of SSA students in Chinese universities. Pearson correlation matrix and regression analysis were conducted to validate the association of loneliness, social support (online and offline), and socio-demographic attributes on the student’s QoL.

Result: In the population of 358 SSA students appraised in the study, loneliness experience was negatively associated with QoL. Online social support and offline social support were positively associated with QoL. The linear regression shows that loneliness, social support, and socio-demographic attributes explain 25.7% (psychological health), 26.6% (physical health), 24.9% (environmental health), and 30.3% (social relation) of the variance in the QoL domains. By evaluating the EUROHIS subjective QoL, loneliness independently accounts for 24.5% of the variance in the subjective QoL of the SSA students examined in the study (model 1). In comparison, the added effects of social supports and socio-demographic attributes on model 3 explained 32% of the subjective QoL.

Conclusion: It is strongly recommended that loneliness eradication programs be implemented in these universities among SSA students who experience loneliness that negates their QoL. Interventions should focus on how these students can integrate and build social networks (online and offline) to improve social interaction and support for better QoL.
Construction stakeholders’ perception on sustainable housing development in Anambra State, Nigeria
Authors: Ezeokoli Fidelis Okechukwu , Ehimioboh Cosmas Oseyende , Okoye Peter Uchenna , Ekekezie Charity Uchenna
Published: October 2022

The concept of sustainable development (SD) has been widely discussed and has gained theoretical importance over the years. Housing is an integral part of human development and as an important part of the built environment; it is therefore an important aspect of SD. However, it appears that the concept of SD in housing is misunderstood and neglected in practice, especially in developing countries, of which Nigeria is not exempt. Therefore, the study examined the perceptions of stakeholders in the construction industry on sustainable housing development (SHD) in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study was based on a survey using a questionnaire. A total of 372 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents out of which 283 were returned and found suitable for the study. The data collected was analyzed using the simple percentage and relative importance index. Hypothesis testing was done using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The study revealed that more than 90% of the respondents were aware of the concept of SD and SHD. However, the result of the hypothesis test shows that there is a significant difference between the responses of the project participants in terms of awareness and perception of the concept of SHD. This is because the concept is perceived as subjective, normative, and ambiguous and therefore neglected. It is therefore recommended that more education (in the form of sensitization, training, retraining and information) about SHD should be done by all stakeholders. This would help to improve existing knowledge about SHD in the implementation of housing projects.

Published: October 2022

This study examined the effect of social and environmental disclosure respectively on gross profit margin (GPM) and return on capital employed (ROCE) of manufacturing firms in Nigeria. This was prompted by the dearth of literature on sustainability reporting (SR) and the inexistence of Nigerian based SR standards and guidelines. The study adopted ex-post facto research design while data were gathered from annual reports and sustainability reports of the 23 sampled companies from the period 2012 to 2021, which represents the International Financial Reporting Standards reporting period in Nigeria as at the time of the study. Finding from the regression analysis showed there is significant positive effect of social disclosure on GPM. However, no significant effect of environmental disclosure was observed on ROCE, which could have been due to other factors outside our scope of study. It is therefore recommended among others that business organizations incorporate SR as part of their reporting policy to reap the associated benefit on GPM with high hopes that other things being equal, constant increase in GPM will influence the ROCE to increase significantly at a point. As policy recommendation, government should put in place annual awards and recognition programs for firms with near or 100% disclosure to encourage a more sustainability-driven economy towards the achievement of the sustainable development goals agenda.

Published: October 2022

This paper analyses the meaning of the phrase of being temporary unable to carry out his position as a Notary. The focus of the study in this paper is regarding the phrase unable to carry out his position as a notary as referred to in Article 1 point 3 UUJN jo. UUJN-P. The method used is a normative legal writing method, using a statutory approach, a case approach, and a conceptual approach that is also supported by a factual approach. As an analytical tool for the legal issues studied, the author uses the theory of legal certainty and the theory of hermeneutics. These two theories are used because this paper aims to analyse clearly the meaning of the phrase unable to carry out his position as a notary, so that it does not cause multiple interpretations. The legal materials used are primary legal materials in the form of legislation related to the Notary Position, which is complemented by secondary legal materials in the form of reputable journals and the latest literature. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be found that the meaning of the phrase temporary absent can be interpreted as a form of leave granted by UUJN and UUJN-P with a maximum of 12 years, except for a notary who is appointed as a state official. Serving as a state official, and should not be interpreted as a temporary dismissal.

Indonesian law essentially comes from four sources of law, namely customary law, Islamic law, ex-colonial law and ratified international treaties. But what makes it sad is that from these four sources of law, customary law is left behind or forgotten, it looks inferior compared to other laws. In scientific forums it is only used as research material and academic studies and is narrated rhetorically. Against this background, the problem studied in this research is how the position of customary law in the national legal system with a civil law pattern in Indonesia is. The research method used is normative juridical sourced from primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. The results show that traces of customary law are scattered in legislation, as legal principles in positive law in Indonesia and also in jurisprudence. Research findings that customary law fulfills two requirements of reality and ideals as the primary source of law in Indonesian legislation.

Authors: Bahalwan Dzhilaal Al Baqi
Published: October 2022

This article aims to provide a description and analysis of the changes in the style of education of Al-Irsyad organization in East Java from 1919 to 1984. The style of Arabism that is closely related to Al-Irsyad is gradually fading. This study uses historical research methods with the primary sources used being official organization documents and direct witnesses. The results of this study indicate that Al-Irsyad education in East Java had a shifting in style, from bolder Arabism to tending to be normative and inclusive. This shifting was caused by the formalization of the government's education curriculum, the needs of the times, and demands for adjustment to the local indigenous people. One of the main consequences of this shift was the decline in the number of educators and scholars from Al-Irsyad’s education.

Authors: Mahamid Mochammad Nginwanun Likullil
Published: October 2022

This article aims to answer the question of how indigenous officials in the Madiun Residency responded to the attitude of the Dutch East Indies Government which was anti to religious issues, given its position as part of the administrative area of the Dutch East Indies Government formed after the Java War (1825-1830), in addition to controlling the colonies, there were also efforts to separate religion and government, thus making indigenous peoples struggled in carrying out their worship and religious activities until the end of the 19th century. Using historical methods and approaches to the sociology of religion, as well as reinforced by the Challenge and Response theory, which was initiated by Arnold Joseph Tonybee, the findings show that there was interference from the priyayi elite and peasants who urged the Dutch government to issue a policy of administrative modernization in the 20th century, which provided an opportunity for indigenous officials to hold certain posts in the government,  then the native officials responded again dengan gave a kind of flexibility in carrying out religious activities for every religious believer.
