Authors:   Department of Public Administration, Lagos State University, Bose Olojede , Ann David ,   Department of Public Administration, Lagos State University
Published: December 2023

Public administration exists to play a pivotal role in national development through strategic formulation of development induced policies. Unfortunately, public administration in Nigeria has for a long time experienced some challenges in implementing public policies that facilitates national development and this has triggered nefarious problems some of which include squalor, widespread unemployment, despotic leadership, poor human resource management, pervasive security crisis, inflation, and a volatile political environment. Sadly, the consequence of this ugly situation is that it has facilitated the reign of bureaucratic corruption and inefficiency in local governance. In the light of this, the paper conceptualized public administration and national development stating the theory adopted. Qualitative technique was employed and the findings from this paper revealed that one of the causes of the failure in public administration is that there is no history of institution building and consolidation in public administration in Nigeria.
Evaluation of the Relationship between Knowledge Level and Anxiety Level of Cancer Patients with Port Catheter
Authors: SEKMEN Buse , KARACA Anita
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Complications related to port catheterization can be prevented or reduced in patients who are informed about port catheterization, and they can also experience less anxiety and fear.
Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the level of knowledge about port catheterization and the level of anxiety in cancer patients with port catheters, and to determine the factors affecting it.
Method: The sample of this descriptive and correlation study consisted of 136 patients receiving chemotherapy. The data was collected by the Patient Information Survey, Port Catheterization Patient Information Survey, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory.
Results: Of the patients, 15.4% received training before port catheterization and the physician gave 9.6% of the training. The total mean scores of both scales were determined 20.12 ± 2.44 for the Port Catheterization Patient Information Survey and 8.17 ± 4.85 for the Beck Anxiety Inventory. In the study, the married patients’ port catheterization knowledge mean score was found to be statistically higher than that of the single patients, and the difference was significant (p < 0.05). In addition, this study found no significant relationship between port catheterization knowledge and anxiety scores (r = 0.13; p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The patients' knowledge level about port catheterization was above average and their anxiety level was mild. The level of knowledge of the patients about port catheterization did not affect their anxiety levels. Nurses need to consider individual characteristics and disease-related variables in the education of patients with port catheters
Combined Osprey-Chimp Optimization for Cluster Based Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks: Improved DeepMaxout for Node Energy Prediction
Authors: Vikhyath Kotagi Basavarajappa , Prasad Narasimhaiah Achyutha
Published: December 2023

The significant advances in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) facilitate many latest applications, such as intelligent battlefield, home automation, traffic control, and more. WSNs comprise small autonomously organized sensor nodes that are powered by batteries. The processes of collecting information and data storage, processing, and transmission deplete the energy of these small devices. Energy efficiency is still a major issue to address in WSN routing. Clustering is the best method that has been developed to reduce node energy consumption. However, current clustering methods are unable to effectively distribute the energy requirements of the nodes without considering energy characteristics, number of nodes, and flexibility. This study proposed a new cluster-based routing model for WSNs and emphasized the need for an improved clustering process with new optimization techniques. In particular, the improved DeepMaxout model was adopted to predict the energy of the nodes. Cluster Head (CH) selection is performed considering the nodes' energy as a prime factor. After choosing the CH, the CIOO algorithm incorporates new link quality and trust evaluations while determining the routing process. Finally, a comparison of energy utilization factors was performed between the suggested and traditional approaches.

Published: December 2023

The native West African population eats a groundnut-based snack called kulikuli (groundnut cake). The study was carried out in order to evaluate, characterize, and determine multiple antibiotic resistance index (MAR-I) of isolated pathogen isolated in ready-to-eat kulikuli snacks. 52 samples of kulikuli in total were collected for this investigation from Odeomu market and its surroundings in Osun State, Nigeria. Using the pour plate technique, bacteriological analysis of the samples was performed. Total coliform counts were counted on MacConkey agar, total bacterial counts on Nutrient agar, and total fungal counts were counted on potato dextrose agar. Phenotypic and biochemical assays were used in identifying the bacterial isolates. Disc diffusion techniques were used to test the isolates' antibiotic susceptibility, and the MAR index of the isolates was determined. The total bacterial count, total coliform count and the total fungal count of the samples varied from 1.5 to 8.8×103cfu/g, 0.3 to 6.6×103cfu/g and 1 to 7.3×104cfu/g respectively. The organisms recovered were enteric, Gram-negative members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) to four to seven different antibiotics was developed by the isolates. The research area has a high overall rate of multiple drug resistance pathogens isolated from the kulikuli samples. The MAR Index was higher than 0.2, however a MAR index that is greater than 0.2 suggested high-risk sources, like places where bacteria have been repeatedly exposed to antibiotics or where the use of antibiotic is common. In conclusion, in order to avoid consuming these pathogens and harmful toxins together with the products, kulikuli should be sold in hygienic conditions and environments, be sealed, and not be exposed to air. This is because the organisms identified in this study indicated health risks that would be harmful to consumers.

Published: December 2023

Ruminants remain a major source of animal protein for tens of millions of Nigerians. With an estimated ruminant population of 18.4 million Cattle, 43.4 million Sheep, and 76 million goats, livestock production is one of the largest agricultural sub-sectors of the Nigerian economy, contributing more than one-third of Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Despite this, diseases of varying morbidity and mortality have plagued livestock and seasonally, threaten to wipe out specific animals in some areas in Nigeria. These outbreaks and epizootics are often unreported, unconfirmed, or poorly documented. Thus, this review provides information on the role of pathogenic microorganisms in ruminant mortality and production losses in Nigeria. A scoping review method was utilised to generate baseline data on ruminant diseases and interventions for the control and eradication of diseases of high mortality in ruminants in Nigeria. Overall, brucellosis, contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) and foot and mouth Disease (FMD), were identified as the major ruminant diseases in Nigeria. Mortalities were mostly associated with CBPP and brucellosis in cattle. FMD constituted the other impediments of moderate to high morbidities and mortalities to ruminant production in Nigeria. The endemicity of these diseases is driven by poor herd health management systems, inadequate financial support from the government, animal movement, border porosity, poor surveillance activities, inadequate outbreak reporting mechanisms, animal identification and quarantining activities, insufficient number of vets and paravets working in the government and public services.
AUTOMATIC NON-RESIDENTIAL BUILT-UP MAPPING OVER NATIONAL EXTENTS WITH A SENTINEL-2 IMAGE SEGMENTATION MODEL TRAINED WITH ANCILLARY CENSUS DATA
Authors: Duarte D. , Fonte C. C.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Information regarding the residential status of the built-area is used within several contexts such as disaster management, urban and regional planning, among others. Currently such non-residential built-up information can be extracted for most of Europe from Land Use/Land Cover maps such as CORINE Land Cover (CLC) and Urban Atlas (UA) by harmonizing the class nomenclature into a residential/non-residential nomenclature. However, these have update cycles of several years given their usually costly and lengthy production, which also relies on visual interpretation of ancillary datasets. Given these limitations many methods have been proposed to increase the thematic detail of the built-up environment. More recently, these methods often rely on ancillary datasets such as, e.g., social media and mobile phone networks metadata, which may not be readily available in many areas. In this paper we propose a framework to map non-residential built-up areas by training an image segmentation model with national census information and Sentinel-2 imagery. The non-residential map coming from the segmentation model was compared with public pan-European maps and both of their quality assessed against UA 2018. The results show that using census data to automatically generate training data for a Sentinel-2 image segmentation model of non-residential built-up improves the mapping of non-residential areas when compared with the existing datasets available for most of Europe.
DEFORESTATION DETECTION IN THE AMAZON WITH SENTINEL-1 SAR IMAGE TIME SERIES

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Deforestation has a significant impact on the environment, accelerating global warming and causing irreversible damage to ecosystems. Large-scale deforestation monitoring techniques still mostly rely on statistical approaches and traditional machine learning models applied to multi-spectral, optical satellite imagery and meta-data like land cover maps. However, clouds often obstruct observations of land in optical satellite imagery, especially in the tropics, which limits their effectiveness. Moreover, statistical approaches and traditional machine learning methods may not capture the wide range of underlying distributions in deforestation data due to limited model capacity. To overcome these drawbacks, we apply an attention-based neural network architecture that learns to detect deforestation end-to-end from time series of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Sentinel-1 C-Band SAR data are mostly independent of the weather conditions and our trained neural network model generalizes across a wide range of deforestation patterns of Amazon forests. We curate a new dataset, called BraDD-S1TS, comprising approximately 25,000 image sequences for deforested and unchanged land throughout the Brazilian Amazon. We experimentally evaluate our method on this dataset and compare it to state-of-the-art approaches. We find it outperforms still-in-use methods by 13.7 percentage points in intersection over union (IoU). We make BraDD-S1TS publicly available along with this publication to serve as a novel testbed for comparing different deforestation detection methods in future studies.

Effective doctor-patient communication is considered an important prerequisite in providing high-quality medical care. In modern healthcare, a new model of patient-centered collaboration and partnership is established. A general practitioner’s communication culture and skills are crucial parts of his/her qualification and activities and have a direct influence on the doctor-patient relationship and form a patient’s trust in the GP. Our study aimed to analyze the problems arising in the process of doctor-patient communication. Material/Methods: An anonymous inquiry with a questionnaire was conducted between September, 1 and September 30, 2018, in the Pleven region, Bulgaria with 1053 respondents visiting their GPs during this period. The data we collected through empirical research is presented and evaluated, based on a general analysis of the communication act. The results obtained were processed with Microsoft Office Excel 2007. The quantitative analysis was performed with SPSS 17.0. Results: The analysis elucidated weaknesses and unsolved problems in doctor-patient communication. A particularly serious problem identified was that of verbal communication of the physicians with their patients: the ability to ask questions and listen, explain, and guide patients on proper behavior and lifestyle. Conclusions: There are problems concerning doctor-patient communication. Verbal communication is a major problem, which could be attributed to insufficient training. We recommend improving and updating the communicative skills training programs for physicians and other health care professionals in primary care.

Authors:   Society for the Study of Family Policy, Jin Su Jeong , Choi Saeeun
Published: December 2023

This study aims to investigate the emergence of a gender-equitable co-parenting culture, specifically focusing on men’s utilization of the parental leave system. We conducted interviews with six male teachers who had utilized parental leave and identified two central themes. The first primary theme, “A New Perception of Care,” encompasses three sub-themes: “challenges associated with caregiving,” “cultivating empathy towards caregivers,” and “heightened interests in care recipients.” The second primary theme, “Gender-Equitable Co- Parenting Culture,” includes three subthemes: “fostering collaborative for co-parenting partnerships,” “promoting equitable distribution of household responsibilities,” and “father parenting,” which diverge from conventional maternal parenting practices. This study provides valuable insights by concentrating on a specific occupational group, i.e., teachers, and explores how the parental leave system actively contributes to the evolution of a shared, gender-equitable co-parenting culture within our society.

Authors:   Korean Intraoperative Neural Monitoring Society, N N
Published: December 2023

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the most commonly diagnosed thyroid malignancy, frequently presents with lymph node metastases. Effective management of metastatic lymph nodes is crucial due to the disease's high recurrence rates. Herein, we present our approach to robotic thyroidectomy and central/lateral neck node dissection, which has shown comparable oncologic outcomes, reduced complications, and improved cosmetic results compared to open surgeries. We detail the surgical procedure, from patient positioning and flap dissection, through central and lateral neck dissection, to closure. The BABA robotic modified radical neck dissection (MRND) is primarily recommended for patients with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma, predominantly PTC, presenting with suspected or pathologically confirmed lateral neck metastasis. We also discuss the application of the da Vinci robot settings in performing precise procedures and preserving critical anatomical structures. This comprehensive review provides insights into the effectiveness of BABA robotic thyroid surgery and central/lateral neck node dissection in managing PTC.

Published: December 2023

Preservation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve during thyroid surgery is crucial for preserving the patient's quality of life after surgery. It is still considered standard procedure to visually identify the recurrent laryngeal nerve and carefully dissect it in order to preserve the nerve. However, due to the numerous advantages of neuromonitoring, its application in thyroid surgery is gradually increasing. Despite the advantages of neuromonitoring, electromyography tubes could not be used in most thyroid surgeries because they were not covered by insurance. Recently, there has been active research conducted on neuromonitoring using needle electrodes or skin electrodes as alternatives to electromyography (EMG) tubes. In this review, we will examine the practical clinical application of recent neuromonitoring techniques that utilize skin electrodes.
L’exposition comme collectif

Published: December 2023

Éparpillés au sol, les multiples ventilateurs de Fans (gisants) (O. Porry, 2020) se tordent au passage des visiteurs. Au-dessus d’eux, suspendues au plafond, les plaques imprimées et sculptées de Statues-Camions (V. Vaysse, 2020) se déplacent et prennent position dans l’espace. Les mouvements des ventilateurs attirent l’attention du spectateur tandis que les plaques s’activent, s’arrêtent et réorientent ce dernier. Ces deux œuvres conçues de façon à manifester une unité propre se déploient pourtant dans l’exposition  « Vrais totems, faux mysticismes » (Septembre 2020, Un singe en hiver, Dijon) sous forme d’un dispositif à part entière. Indépendamment l’une de l’autre, les deux installations répondent aux critères d’un type spécifique de dispositif artistique : les collectifs d’objets à comportements co-localisés et communiquants (COCO²). Chacune déploie ses propres ensembles de comportements individuels et collectifs qui circonscrivent un espace physique mais aussi un espace informationnel et invisible : un réseau sur lequel échangent leurs éléments et qui se superpose à l’espace réel. C’est dans un processus de curation qui s’articule alors autour de la rencontre de ces deux COCO² que l’exposition adopte la forme d’un système de relations effectives. Situer ces deux installations dans un même espace et la mise en place d’un réseau commun ouvre la voie à de nouvelles conditions d’expérience de l’exposition axées sur une dynamique relationnelle élargie aux deux groupes. Élaboré par les deux artistes exposés, le geste curatorial intègre ici la technique et devient programmatique. Il se co-construit avec les éléments des installations, se développe dans des boucles de rétro-action qui font converser ensemble scénographie, expressivité comportementale et transmission de données. « Vrais totems, faux mysticismes » constitue ainsi une pratique expérimentale de la curation. Elle témoigne de la possible interopérabilité des pratiques artistiques numériques et appelle à d’autres modes d’exposition et de création dans la perspective d’expériences collectives de la forme du collectif.
World Brain : du réseau à la terre
Authors: Stefanov Nathalie
Published: December 2023

Cet article examine les multiples modalités d’apparition du projet artistique World Brain de Stéphane Degoutin et Gwenola Wagon, un travail qui questionne l’idée d’une connexion globale des sociétés par le numérique au regard du nouveau régime climatique. L’analyse s’appuie sur plusieurs éléments : le contenu et les médiums du projet, ses modalités d’exposition ou stratégies curatoriales ; enfin, ses modes de production, de financement et de diffusion, proches des industries dites créatives et numériques. Notre hypothèse est que les processus de création tels qu’envisagés par Stéphane Degoutin et Gwenola Wagon, ceux qui se déploient en dialogue avec les chercheurs et interrogent des modes de vie alternatifs en connexion avec le vivant, proposent une approche critique de l’économie de marché.

Empowering Identity among English Teachers in the 4.0 Industrial Revolution: Perspectives from Tomini Bay
Authors: Basalama Nonny , Achmad Syarifuddin
Published: December 2023

This paper discusses the issue of foreign English language teachers in the Tomini Bay area in Indonesia. Utilizing several theories such as the theory of empowerment and agency as well as teachers' identity development, this qualitative research presents a study with the interview data from 10 teachers who live and teach in the Tomini Bay area. The data were analyzed by coding the interview materials into several main areas of interest. From this, several themes emerged for discussion that seemed to be influential and contribute to understanding teachers and their experiences in the language teaching context. The study reveals that teachers' views of their remuneration, their views of teaching in this technology era and pandemic situation, and their views of local potential teaching resources are significantly different from teachers who are classified as 'empowered identity' than those who are not in the category. However, the necessity of government intervention in English language teaching success in their area emerges as a crucial factor viewed by all the 10 teachers' recollections. It is hoped that this paper discussion can reveal factors that should be considered in a model offered to develop EFL teachers and their identity development in the Tomini Bay area, which later affects the success of English teaching in the surroundings and subsequently impacts English language teaching success in Indonesia.

This descriptive qualitative research obtained data source from the biographical film The Danish Girl directed by Tom Hopper, released in 2015. The subject studied is limited on the main character analysis, who later became Transgender and changed his name to Lili Elbe. In this case, this research focuses on changing the character of a man to a woman in a film and also the limitation used to examine this study is to pay attention to the psychological point of view by using and applying two theories as an approach to reviewing this research. Thus, based on the data, it was discovered there were 39 scenes of Einar transforming into transgender, of which 27 scenes represented ID, 7 represented EGO and 5 scenes were SUPEREGO. The objective of  this study are expected to enrich issues related to the development of the human psyche. The researcher hoped that the result of this study also could enrich the next researcher’s knowledge about the psychological problem, especially about The Transformation of the Characters Einar Wegener to Transgender Women. In conclusion, Einar's transformation does not necessarily affect what is inside of him, but everything proceeds according to the time before he becomes a Transgender. The research opens up avenues for further exploration and analysis in the field of transgender studies, gender identity, and psychological development. It encourages future researchers to delve deeper into the topic and conduct more comprehensive studies on the representation of transgender individuals in various media forms.
