Examining the Use of Art as a Tool for Social Justice in Kenya
Authors: Mukahi Jeon
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine art as a tool for social justice in Kenya.

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the use of art as a tool for social justice in Kenya. The preliminary empirical review revealed that art education is a useful tool in promoting social justice, as it enhances student engagement and facilitates the exchange of information and resources. The study revealed that the community art project facilitated critical thinking, self-expression, and social cohesion among participants. It contributed to raising awareness of social justice issues and empowering marginalized individuals and communities.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Critical Theory, Cultural Hegemony and Aesthetics of Liberation may be used to anchor future studies on the use of art as a tool for social justice in Kenya. The government should promote inclusivity and diversity in the arts by supporting the representation and visibility of underrepresented groups as well as providing resources, funding, and platforms for artists and communities to collaborate on projects that address social justice concerns and amplify marginalized voices.

Self-Help Techniques in Anger Management with Cognitive Behavioral Interventions: Understanding and Managing Anger
Authors: BULUT Melisa , YÜKSEL Çiğdem
Published: June 2023

Anger is an intense and universal emotion that an individual shows in the face of being blocked, ignored, threatened, restrained, grieving, being wronged or attacked. According to the cognitive behavioral approach, the cognitive structure of the individual plays a role in the emergence of anger. If anger is experienced very intensely, frequently and severely and causes destructive situations, it is possible to overcome it with anger management. In anger management, cognitive behavioral therapies and cognitive behavioral approach-based interventions are used most frequently. These interventions include cognitive techniques that aim to reconstruct the individual's faulty beliefs or cognitive structure that hasbecome a problem, and behavioral techniques that target the physiological, emotional and behavioral dimensions of anger. In recent years, self-help interventions in which the individual can apply anger management individually have started to take place inthe literature. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to review the use of cognitive behavioral interventions with self-help anger management and effective methods. When cognitive-behavioral approach-based self-help interventions in anger management are examined, it is seen that it is possible to collect these interventions in eight steps as “awareness, what is really happening, comparing options, anger control through taking a break, relaxation, cognitive restructuring, acquiring effective communication skills, self-care”.

Published: June 2023

O crescimento infantil representa um parâmetro fundamental para avaliar o estado de saúde de crianças e adolescentes, pois se há distúrbios no desenvolvimento físico entende-se que houve falha em alguma etapa de cuidados direcionados a elas. O crescimento é determinado por diversos fatores, tanto genéticos como ambientais, fato que torna a dinamicidade do processo ainda mais relevante. Foi realizado um estudo observacional, descritivo, de natureza transversal com a coleta de dados primários e secundários. Para a realização desta pesquisa foram recrutados dados de prontuários de 46 pacientes com o diagnóstico de baixa estatura em acompanhamento ou em tratamento no ambulatório de endocrinologia pediátrica do CISOP. O grupo A foi composto por 14 pacientes, os quais receberam acompanhamento pré-natal durante toda a vida intrauterina, que foram direcionados para parte da pesquisa voltada a coleta de informações com base na resolução de um questionário, sendo este respondido pelos responsáveis legais do paciente. O grupo B foi constituído por 32 pacientes que foram direcionados para a coleta de informações com base na coleta de dados dos seus prontuários médicos. Nos grupos estudados as causas intrínsecas prevaleceram como causa da baixa estatura, estando presente em 26 pacientes, dos quais 9 possuíam deficiência de GH, 4 possuíam hipotireoidismo, 4 possuíam síndromes genéticas,  2 possuíam necessidade de testosterona, 5 possuíam baixa estatura familiar e 2 possuíam doença renal crônica, o que representa 56,5% do total dos participantes.

Published: June 2023

This article discusses the results of an investigation into refined fuzzy soft sets, a novel variant of traditional fuzzy sets. Refined fuzzy soft sets provide a versatile method of data analysis, inspired by the need to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity in real-world data. This research expands on prior work in fuzzy set theory by investigating the nature and characteristics of refined fuzzy soft sets. They are useful in decision-making, pattern recognition, image processing, and control theory because of their capacity to deal with uncertainty, ambiguity, and the inclusion of expert information. This study analyzes these fuzzy set models and compares them to others in the field to reveal their advantages and disadvantages. The practical uses of enhanced fuzzy soft sets are also examined, along with possible future research strategies on this exciting new topic.

Effect of the Clinical Usage of Tetracaine Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution on Multiple Antibiotic Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
Authors: Kyei Samuel , Bert Boadi-Kusi Samuel , Nana Effriam-Menyah Mary , Duah Paulina
Published: June 2023

Background: The emergence of resistant strain bacteria is rendering many antibiotics ineffective in the management of infectious diseases.

Objective: The purpose was to investigate the effect of Tetracaine hydrochloride usage on the emergence of a resistant strain of bacteria.

Materials and methods: A total of fifteen New Zealand White rabbits of either sex weighing between 1400-2700 grams were used for this study. Infectious agents of Ophthalmia neonatorum were cultured, isolated and identified. Their susceptibility to various antibiotics was assessed. A resistant strain was picked up and inoculated on the conjunctiva of the rabbits to induce bacterial conjunctivitis. Rabbits were divided into three groups of five rabbits each. Group A received Tetracaine as treatment, group B received 0.3% Ciprofloxacin as treatment and group C received normal saline as a treatment for 14 days. Outcome measures included bacterial colony count, clinical signs and post-antibiotic susceptibility test.

Results: The tetracaine significantly reduced clinical signs (P=0.012) compared to normal saline (control) and 0.3% Ciprofloxacin reduced clinical signs (P =0.003) compared to normal saline (control). This means there was a significant decrease in clinical scores with the interventions as compared to the normal saline which showed minimal change in clinical score. Tetracaine hydrochloride significantly reduced bacteria load (P≤0.0001). It decreased multiple antibiotic-resistant index by 20%.

Conclusion: Tetracaine has a supplemental antibiotic effect on resistant strain of bacteria and does not worsen antibiotic resistance of bacteria. Clinical usage of tetracaine ophthalmic solution should therefore be applied after conjunctival swaps or corneal scrapping have been taken.
Analyzing facilitators and barriers to telehealth in rural North America during the covid-19 pandemic: A scoping review
Authors: Wojtara Magda
Published: June 2023

Background: It has previously been established that many people living in rural communities experience health disadvantages and less access to medical care. Over the past decade, innovations in telehealth and other innovative models of care have been developed with the goal of overcoming these inequities for those living in rural areas.

Objective: The aim of this paper was to describe both outcomes and characteristics of studies involving telehealth in rural areas of North America during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and Methods: A scoping review was undertaken. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method was utilized in order to understand the empirical and theoretical data on telehealth usage in the United States, Canada and Mexico during the COVID-19 pandemic. The following terms were utilized: ‘rural health’ AND ‘telehealth’ AND ‘covid-19’. Separate searches were completed for the three included countries: ‘United States’, ‘Canada’, and ‘Mexico’. PubMed and Google Scholar were utilized.

Results: The literature search revealed 1197 articles published in English between 1st January 2019 and 31st August 2022. One hundred and fifty articles were included in the review including 135 from the United States, 12 from Canada, and 10 from Mexico. Some articles were cross-collaborations between two of these countries. Among these papers, 18% (27) focused on telemedicine for mental health treatments, 14.7% (22) focused on oncology or cancer, 11.3% (17) focused on telemedicine for the veteran subpopulation, 2.7% (4) used a mixed methods approach, and 14% (21) used a qualitative approach.

Conclusion: This scoping review reveals that the current literature on telehealth in rural areas during the COVID-19 pandemic is largely descriptive. There were only a few publications that focused on comparative health outcomes using telehealth in urban and rural populations in close proximity to each other. Telehealth is well represented in published literature on inequities and innovation, but there is still limited data on health outcomes and comparisons that can be drawn cross-nationally. Further studies should aim to study longer term health outcomes for those in rural areas using telehealth as opposed to areas where telehealth interventions have not yet been adopted

The major goal for government expenditure policies according to Keynes is to improve the effective demand which is aimed at increasing industrial output in developing countries like Nigeria. Therefore, this paper is an attempt to examine the impact of government expenditures on industrial output in Nigeria. Thus, the methodology of this paper is the time series data method which were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin 2021 and the study also employed the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) because the data were co-integrated at order 1(1) and the Johansen co-integration test result revealed that there are two (2) co-integrating equations. The R-Square of 98 percent suggests that government expenditures have a positive relationship with industrial output in Nigeria. Specifically, the result revealed that government capital expenditures have a positive and insignificant impact on industrial output in Nigeria. However, the government's recurrent expenditure was said to have a positive and significant impact on industrial output in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommended that government should review the recurrent expenditures to be real sector and industrial output is driven to increase the impact of industrial output in Nigeria. Similarly, the government should design a mechanism to track the government capital expenditures in Nigeria to ensure that projects are industrial driven especially the infrastructural projects for industrial output in Nigeria.

Authors:   Department of Economics, Michael Okpara University,  Umudike Umuahia, Onyinye Mgbemena
Published: June 2023

Several studies on human capital development have ignored its effects on activity sectors of the economy in developing countries like Nigeria. This paper examined the effects of human capital development on the Nigerian real sector activity 1981 to 2022 with data from Central Bank of Nigeria’s Statistical Bulletin, and National Bureau of Statistics. This paper utilized a macro-econometric model approach anchored on the endogenous growth theory. Ex-ante forecast showed that a 4% increase in life expectancy led to improvement in industry output (50.9%) and service output (16.6%), and agriculture output decreased by 7.4%. 4% decrease in life expectancy improved agricultural output by 14.9% and worsened industry and service sectors’ outputs by 31.2% and 65.9%, respectively. A 2.0% increase in number of schooling years improved service (9.3%) and industry (3.7%) while agriculture output shrunk by 2.0% deviation. A 2% decrease in schooling year’s worsened service and industry output by 74.5% and 42.4%, respectively and improved agriculture output (24.1%). A 7.7% increase in the index of per capita GNI resulted in negative shock to service output (69%) and industry output (37%) and positive deviation of 21.5% in agriculture output. Under the index of per capita GNI decrease of 7.7%, service output deviated by 200%, industry output deviated by 47.7% and agriculture output by -19%. The study therefore recommended that quality education should be made available to all so that Nigeria’s service and industrial sectors can be revolutionized.

Sound credit risk management is one of the criteria for deposit money banks to carry out efficient financial intermediation in developed, emerging and developing economies including Nigeria. However, the manipulation of bank financial data by fraud utilizing inventive accounting techniques led to the poor credit risk management and collapse of deposit money institutions in Nigeria. The objective of the study is to examine the effect of creative accounting practices (cash assets structure, equity capital structure, loan structure, deposit liability and accrual quality) on credit risk management of selected deposit money banks quoted in Nigeria. The population of the study comprised of all the nineteen (19) listed deposit money banks as at December, 2021 while a targeted random sampling technique was adopted to select the sample size of seven (10) failed banks and seven (7) surviving deposit money banks listed in Nigeria Stock Exchange (NGX). Ex post facto research design was adopted using dataset for the period 2006–2021 which were collated from the annual reports and financial statements of the listed deposit money banks. The data collected were analyzed using mean scores and Panel Regression Model method. The analysis revealed that for surviving banks, creative accounting had a significant influence on credit risk management (Adj.R2 = 0.182, Wald-Test= 4.44 :p < 0.05). Therefore, the study recommended that the management team of the banks should ensure that credit portfolio of the deposit money banks is prudently managed to grow year on year in the right mix and without contravening the statutory guidelines to avoid bad and doubtful loan classifications so as to achieve sound credit risk management.

Published: June 2023

Ceramics, burnt stuff is the use of clay with or without other substances and rendered permanently rocklike, dense, and vitreous by heat treatment. From its birth, the traditional potters like their counterparts in other art and craft areas produced their wares from concept to the modeling without drawing or sketching. In the hand building technique of ceramics which involves pinching, coiling and slab methods, practiced by every ceramist, even those that have gone through the formal education system still produce wares without drawing which remains, the initial documentation of ideas, thoughts or concepts for record purposes and planning. This paper brings drawing to the fore, to bridge the lacuna between concept and modeling in ceramics practice, especially among professional artists and ceramists from art centers and institutions of higher learning.

Authors:   Department of Fine Arts and Design, Faculty of Humanities, University of Port Harcourt, Ajiginni Margaret
Published: June 2023

Fascinator's production, which is a conduit for youth employment and revenue generation through entrepreneurial skills development, has not been offered an in-depth understanding. Graduates, professionals, and brilliant youngsters in Obio-Akpor local government of Rivers State, Nigeria are experiencing the twin issues of unemployment and abject poverty as a result of the global economic crisis and recession. Despite Federal Government interventions through financial support through financial institutions to develop small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), income has not risen; poverty and widespread unemployment are still major socio-economic problems. This paper argues that teaching fascinator manufacture via entrepreneurial skills, workshop participation, industrial attachment to students, and the apprentice system will provide prospects for job creation, income generation, and poverty reduction. The study uses an exploratory method and an observation instrument. It concludes that developing entrepreneurial skills through fascinator's production will inspire the Obio Akpor youths to be more creative, have more self-esteem, and have more influence over their lives.
Perceptual Learning, Categorical Perception, and Cognitive Permeation
Authors: Burnston Daniel
Published: June 2023

Proponents of cognitive penetration often argue for the thesis on the basis of combined intuitions about categorical perception and perceptual learning. The claim is that beliefs penetrate perceptions in the course of learning to perceive categories. I argue that this "diachronic" penetration thesis is false.  In order to substantiate a robust notion of penetration, the beliefs that enable learning must describe the particular ability that subjects learn. However, they cannot do so, since in order to help with learning they must instruct learners to employ previously existing abilities. I argue that a better approach recognizes that we can have sophisticated causal precursors to perceptual learning, but that the learning process itself must operate outside of cognitive influence.

Peranannya menjadi kekuatan komitmen yang menyatukan hasrat sesuatu masyarakat untuk mengekalkan dan memelihara warisan yang menjadi bukti kepada perkembangan tamadun mereka. Lantaran itu, pengurusan warisan bina bandar perlu dilaksanakan secara baik supaya melindungi kelangsungan tapak. Namun, dasar pembangunan di Malaysia yang telah dilaksanakan untuk mengejar status negara maju menjelang tahun 2020 acap kali mengabaikan faktor kelangsungan tapak warisan bina di kawasan bandar. Perbincangan ini akan memerihalkan kronologi pembandaran dan cabaran pengurusan warisan bina bandar di Kota Kinabalu, dan juga memberikan rekomendasi pengurusan yang lebih berkesan pada masa hadapan.

Abstract

A town built is part of the cultural heritage of great value to the civilization of a society and nation in general. Its role is seen as a force that unites passionate commitment of the society to maintain and preserve the heritages that bear testimony to the development of their civilization. Therefore, the management of town built heritage needs to be implemented properly in order to protect the sustainability of the sites. But development policy in Malaysia has undertaken to pursue the status of a developed nation by 2020 often ignoring the sustainability of the built heritage sites in town areas. This discussion will describe the chronology of the urbanization and challenges in the management of town built heritage in Kota Kinabalu, and also provide more efficient management recommendations for the future.

The citrus trade market welcomes cultivars with different characteristics such as being totally seedless or having fewer seeds, having thin and vividness skin, high ratio of sugar to acid, being watery, easy peeling and relatively large fruit. Furthermore, a wide range of cultivars should be available according to fruit ripening time from very early (precocious) to very late (serotinous). ‘Yashar’ mandarin is a hybrid obtained by crossing of the ‘Minneola’ tangelo and ‘Changsha’ mandarin. The fruits of this cultivar grow in the northern regions of Iran, and it ripen in May, thus, they are considered the late-ripening mandarin cultivars. One of the deficiencies of this cultivar is that it is full of seeds (25-30). Two separate experiments were performed to reduce the number of seeds in ‘Yashar’ mandarin. In the first experiment; the effect of pollen grains of different citrus cultivars (‘Valencia’ orange, ‘Hamlin’ and sour orange) and a free-pollination treatment as a control group was evaluated. In the second experiment, the effect of foliar application of copper sulfate at the rate of 25 mg·L-1 was conducted in stages 30, 60 and 80 % of open flowers. One free pollination treatment as a control group was evaluated as well. The results showed that the highest index of fruit technology (multiplication of the percentage of the extract in the soluble solids divided by 100) was obtained by pollination with ‘Hamlin’ and sour orange pollen grains. The foliar spraying with copper sulfate, when 30 % of the flowers had opened, among all the treatments evaluated in the study, reduced the number of seeds in the Yashar mandarin cultivar.

Until now, parasitic diseases that infect humans and animals have not been considered in Indonesia because these diseases do not cause clinical symptoms (subclinical). Gastrointestinal disease caused by worm parasites is a systemic disease that attacks the digestive tract of cattle. Traditional pig farming methods and poor hygiene are the main reasons for the spread of zoonoses that can be transmitted from pigs to humans. This study aims to identify nematode hosts by examining worm eggs in pig feces using the direct slide method. From a total of 20 stool samples, 3 samples were positive for nematode worm eggs. A stool sample that is identified as positive for worm eggs determines the level of parasitic infestation. Worm egg detection was carried out in the laboratory of the Faculty of Health Sciences University and analyzed descriptively, then the number of worm eggs was counted to determine the prevalence of endoparasites.

Research on dissolution determination of Ketoprofen compounds by Spectrophotometry. Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug compound (NSAID) that works as an anti-inflammatory. Anti-inflammatory here is a group of drugs used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. The dissolution test is a method used to determine the content of active compounds that dissolve in drugs, where the time, temperature and media are set according to the human stomach and intestines, and can find out how much the content of active compounds dissolves in the human intestines and stomach. This dissolution test, then the ketoprofen drug is read by spectrophotometry. Test the dissolution by spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 260 nm using HCl 0.1 N and buffer pH 7.4. The results of the determination of the dissolution test of the active substance on ketoprofen at the acid stage obtained an average of 0.009% and at the pH 7.4 buffer stage obtained an average content of 86.4155%. It can be concluded that the determination of the ketoprofen dissolution test in the sample meets the requirements (MS), in accordance with the specifications of the Internal Standard of PT Novell Pharmaceutical Laboratories, namely at the acid stage not more than 10% of ketoprofen dissolved in 2 hours, and at the pH 7.4 buffer stage it has a requirement of 75%. ketoprofen dissolved in 45 minutes. In the dissolution of acidic media, 0.1 N HCl is used because its condition resembles that of the stomach.

Članek analizira problematiko samomora na Slovenskem od prvih statističnih analiz, ki so zajele tudi slovenski prostor v drugi polovici 19. stoletja, do konca 60-ih let 20. stoletja, ko so statistični podatki in pritisk javnosti, ki se je ustvaril tudi zaradi napačnih in izkrivljenih interpretacij le-teh, takratno socialistično oblast spodbudili k aktivnemu reševanju problematike. Članek na podlagi statističnih podatkov in njihovih interpretacijah, poročil policije in Službe državne varnosti (SDV) ter časopisja prikaže diskurze oblasti, stroke in medijev. Članek prikaže dojemanje fenomena samomorilnosti v različnih delih družbe in različne interpretacije vzrokov za porast v stopnji samomorilnosti v vsakem od obravnavanih obdobji ter prikaže, kako so podatki o samomorilnosti postali sredstvo manipulacije in obračunavanja z nasprotniki in orodje za iskanje krivcev za domnevne stranpoti v družbi.
