Authors: Akande Kolawole O. , Fadupin Grace T. , Akinola Moses A.
Published: June 2021

Background: Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a common chronic disorder in the high-income countries; and thought to be rare in low- and middle-income-countries. Lifestyle and diets have been suggested among others, as risk factors contributing to the development and severity of GORD. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of GORD and its association with dietary items and obesity among public school teachers in Abeokuta, south-western Nigeria.Methods: School teachers from 24 randomly selected public schools in Abeokuta were involved in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information on respondents’ bio data, food frequency and Carlson-Dent scores were calculated for each respondent. A score of 4 and above on the Carlsson-Dent questionnaire was considered diagnostic of GORD. Each respondent had his or her weight, height, waist circumference and hip circumference measured. Body mass index and waist-hip ratio were calculated for each respondent.Results: A total of 550 teachers participated in the study. The prevalence of GORD was found to be 13.8% among the teachers. There was a significant association between chocolate consumption and frequency of GORD (p=0.01). There was no association between consumption of soft drinks (p=0.673), kola nut (P=0.451), beer (p=0.674), bitter kola (0.425), groundnut (0.442), cowpeas (p=0.442), walnut (p=0.905), gari (p=0.931), fufu (p= 0.249) and lafun (p=0.480) and the frequency of GORD. Similarly, no association was found between obesity (BMI, p=0.738), waist-hip ratio (p=0.56) and the frequency of GORD.Conclusion: GORD is common among public school teachers in Abeokuta with a prevalence of 13.8%. Except for consumption of chocolate, no association was found between frequency of GORD and consumption of majority of the dietary items considered in this study.

Authors: Aregbesola Oluwabusayo H. , Adeoye Ikeola A.
Published: June 2021

Background: In Nigeria, an estimated 60,000 paediatric HIV infections occur annually mainly through mother-to-child transmission.  Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) in pregnancy is crucial in preventing new paediatric HIV infections. We investigated HIV-treatment adherence self-efficacy and ART adherence among HIV-positive pregnant women in South-West Nigeria.Methods: A mixed method approach was employed using a sequential explanatory strategy in which HIV-positive pregnant women were recruited from three facilities providing Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) services. Self-efficacy and adherence were assessed using the HIV-Treatment Adherence Self-efficacy Scale and the Centre for Adherence Support Evaluation Index Tool, respectively. A focus group discussion and key informant interviews were used to explore barriers and motivating factors to ART adherence in pregnancy. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression at 5% significance level, while thematic content analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. Results: A total of 126 women participated in the study. The mean age and mean gestational age of respondents were 32.7 ± 4.58 years and 24.4 ± 7.41 weeks, respectively. The prevalence of good adherence and HIV-treatment adherence self-efficacy were 70.6% and 26.2%, respectively. Low self-efficacy (OR=0.2, 95%CI=0.05– 0.53, p<0.05) was statistically associated with poor adherence. Planned pregnancy (OR=3.1, 95%CI=1.23-7.72, P<0.05) increased the likelihood for ART adherence. Looking healthier and protecting unborn babies were motivators to adherence while stigmatization and negative spousal influences were barriers to adherence.Conclusion: Low HIV-treatment adherence self-efficacy was related to poor adherence in pregnancy. Interventions aimed at improving adherence in pregnancy should also focus on HIV-treatment adherence self-efficacy.

Introduction: Syphilis is an infection with increasing incidence in Brazilian regions, and the congenital form is liable to lead to cerebral palsy and musculoskeletal deformity. The objective of this study was to analyze the prevalence of congenital syphilis in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.

Methods: An exploratory and retrospective study was performed from 2015 to 2017. Public domain data and unrestricted access were used in the DATASUS computer department through the TABNET application. The following variables were collected: age range, clinical evolution (congenital syphilis late, late congenital syphilis, stillbirth / syphilis abortion, ignored / blank, discarded; live birth), mother's schooling, performed prenatal and residence zone.

Results: In Brazil, there were 75,733 cases, whereas in the State of Rio Grande do Norte there were 1,436 cases of congenital syphilis, out of which a greater number of confirmed cases affected age group of 0-6 days (97.6%). The highest number of cases was observed in the city of Natal (75.8%), followed by Mossoró (7.8%) and Parnamirim (5.7%).

Conclusion: The study shows that the incidence of congenital syphilis occurs predominantly in incomplete elementary schooling and in the urban area. It was also verified that the diagnosis of most cases of congenital syphilis occurred in the age group up to 6 days of life, which contributes to the rates of evolution with the living child. In addition, a greater number of confirmed cases of congenital syphilis were observed, and prenatal care was performed, indicating a serious failure in care.

Published: June 2021

Background: Malnutrition is a severe and persisting cause of morbidity and mortality among under-five children in Zambia. We assessed malnutrition and its determinants among under-five children in Lusaka urban, Zambia.

 Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Chawama, Kabwata, Chilenje and Mtendere urban clinics in Lusaka. A simple random sample of 384 under-five children were selected between February and March 2015. A structured interview schedule was used to collect data on demographic characteristics, determinants of malnutrition and anthropometric measurements. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was carried out using IBM® SPSS® Statistics for Windows Version 20.0 to identify determinants of malnutrition while adjusting for confounders.

 Results: Of the 384 under-five children, most (51.8%) of them were male and the mean (SD) age was 13.83±10.17 months. The zH/A; zW/H; and zW/A was 68.5% and 31.5%; 95.6% and 4.4%; and 86.2% and 13.8% for normal and stunted; normal and wasted; and normal and underweight respectively. Majority (77.1%) of the children had MUAC > 12.5 cm, 16.9% had 11.5 – 12.5 cm and 6.0% had < 11.5 cm. Mother’s good nutritional practices (OR 0.50, 95% CI: 0.27 – 0.95) and MUAC > 12.5 cm (OR 0.10, 95% CI: 0.01 – 0.94; OR 0.01, 0.00 – 0.10; and OR 0.4, 0.01 – 0.19) were statistically significantly associated with stunting, wasting and underweight respectively.

 Conclusion: We established varied levels of stunting, wasting and underweight and mother’s nutritional practices and MUAC predicted these levels. More information, education and communication messages to the mothers and caretakers with regard to nutritional practices are needed so that under-nutrition can be improved, to ensure healthy living for mothers, care takers and under-five children.

Published: June 2021

Background: In Tanzania, like in many other poor African countries, cervical cancer is a major problem facing women especially for those aged 30 years and above. This study aimed at constructing a statistical model to enable the prediction of the outcome of treatment for cervical cancer patients in Tanzania.

Methods: Data were collected retrospectively from patient’s files with histological proven cervical cancer who were treated at Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI) from year 2009 and followed up to year 2011. The factors considered are screening status, HIV status, disease stage, age, treatment type and the intent of the treatment. The study employed the Chi-square (χ2) test and the logistic regression model for its analysis.

Results:  The Chi-square (χ2) test result showed that there was a significant relationship between outcome of treatment and the patient screening status, HIV status, disease stage and intent of treatment at 5% level of significance. On the other hand, the logistic regression results found patient disease stage and intent of the treatment to be statistically significant at 95 percent. Logistic regression results also showed that patients who attended ORCI when their disease at a late stage had an odds ratio of 0.128 less likely to have favorable outcomes compared to those patients who attended ORCI when their disease stage was at early stages. The odds ratio for cervical cancer patients who received both treatment, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy was 2.643 more likely to have favorable outcomes

Conclusion:  More emphasis and campaigns should be made in order to encourage women all over the country to attend cancer centers for screening and treatment at early stages or even before any symptoms for cervical cancer and other types of cancers.
Ceftriaxone Prescription at Muhimbili National Hospital
Authors: Sasi Philip Galula
Published: June 2021

S

Background: Since their discovery, antibiotics have contributed to a dramatic fall in morbidity and mortality from bacterial infections. However, the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance continues to threaten the effectiveness of these agents. Ceftriaxone is one of the most important medications needed in a basic health system. Yet high levels of inappropriate use have been reported increasing the likelihood of emergence and spread of resistance.

Methods: We conducted a descriptive study to characterize ceftriaxone prescription and resistance at a tertiary hospital.

Results: Three hundred and sixty prescriptions were observed and 194 (54 %) deviated from the National Treatment guidelines with regards to indication. For patients with conditions for which ceftriaxone is recommended, 93 % (154 out of 166) prescriptions deviated from the guideline with regard to dosing frequency and 67 % deviated with regards to the duration of administration. Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus (CoNS), Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the most common isolates and with the highest ceftriaxone resistance rate (up to 80%).

Conclusions: At MNH, ceftriaxone is commonly inappropriately prescribed and the risk of emergence and spread of ceftriaxone resistant isolates may be high.  The majority of CoNS and Klebsiella species are resistant, thus cautious ceftriaxone prescription is needed.

Published: June 2021

Nowadays, with the continuous development of science and technology, computer software has been widely applied and is increasingly popular in many fields such as the automobile, aviation, space, and shipbuilding industries. Numerical simulation is an important step in finite element analysis and product design optimization. However, it is facing challenges of reducing CAD model building time and reducing computation time. In this study, we have developed a homogenization model for the honeycomb core sandwich plate to reduce the preparation of the CAD model as well as the computational times. The homogenization consists of representing an equivalent homogenized 3D-solid obtained from the analysis calculation in-plane properties of honeycomb 3D-shell core sandwich plate. This model was implemented in the finite element software Abaqus. The simulations of tensile, in-plane shear, pure bending, and flexion tests for the case of the 3D-shell and 3D-solid models of the honeycomb core sandwich will be studied in this paper. Comparing the results obtained from the two models shows that the 3D-solid model has close results as the 3D-shell model, but the computation time is much faster. Thereby the proposed model is validated.

Holy Selfie as the Channel of Media Memory in the Digital World
Authors: Artamonov Denis S. , Medvedeva Elena N. , Tikhonova Sophia V. , Volovikova Marina L.
Published: June 2021

Selfie as a special genre of digital photography performs a variety of functions, giving users the possibility to refer themselves to places, persons and events, thus personifying one's self-presentation and expressing the author's attitude to the world and their own experiences. Selfie is actively used in the representation of religious life, first of all, documenting the connection of the authors to sacred places, objects, persons and events, preserving the memory of significant moments in the life of an individual and making it available to the public. The memorial function of photography in the holy selfie format merges with its communicative function, changing the motivation of religious practice, redirecting it from the acquisition of religious experience to its sharing, empathy and participation, i.e. socializing religious experience. By analysing likes and reposts of selfie content, one can create strategies for the union of virtual religious communities around the offline experience of their members. In this article we will try to identify the differences in the ways of organizing the semantic space of holy selfie, practiced by the followers of Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Holy selfie will be studied as a new media memory channel to which users resort in order to correlate the practices of constructing personal and group memory for the reproduction of religious context by banal religion. Our work is based on the content analysis of selfie photos posted on Instagram.
The Mobilization of Youth Political Protest and Russian Video Bloggers: Cognitive Mapping Results
Authors: Shentyakova Anna V. , Grishin Nikolai V.
Published: June 2021

The paper presents the results of using the cognitive mapping method to analyze the messages from video bloggers which were popular among Russian youth and covered protest actions in Russia in 2019-2020. The cognitive mapping method has not previously been used to interpret the information messages of representatives of the protest movement in modern Russia. The objective of the study is to identify the value systems, priorities, individual logical chains of opinion leaders in the Russian language segment of YouTube video hosting. The research sample was based on a two-step model, including the selection of 20 video bloggers who are considered to be the most popular among Russian protest youth as well as the selection of information materials for further analysis. For each leader of public opinion, several cognitive maps were built regarding the coverage of protest actions in 3 cases (the protests in Yekaterinburg in 2019, in Moscow after the Moscow City Duma elections in 2019 and in Khabarovsk in 2020). The cognitive mapping method made it possible to analyze the perception and interpretation of the protest actions taken by public opinion leaders who are opposed to the ruling party. The results of cognitive mapping reveal the value systems of the interpreters of political events who are popular among young people. The system of values, expressed in the interpretation of protest actions, presupposes the dominance of liberal guidelines, ideas of the rule of law and civil society.

Published: June 2021

The present study examined some physico-chemical characteristics (temperature, pH, total hardness, dissolved oxygen (DO), total dissolved solid(TDS), conductivity, transparency, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), acidity and alkalinity) and some heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Cd, Cr and Ni) concentration of Stubbs Creek, Ibeno, Akwa Ibom, Nigeria between August 2014 and July, 2015. Six sampling stations (Mkpanak, Okpot Ikot, Ebana Mbri, Esit Eket, Okpuk and Ikot Ebia Anam) in Stubbs Creek were selected. Water samples were analyzed using APHA-AWWA-WPCF methods while heavy metals in the water samples were digested and determined using UNICAM 939 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The mean values of water parameters of Stubbs Creek are: temperature (27.22 ± 0.230C); pH (6.83 ± 0.13), DO (3.86 ± 0.20 mg/L), BOD (2.84 ± 0.11 mg/L), conductivity (522.23 ±69.12 µScm-1), TDS (288.83 ± 39.50 mg/L), transparency (0.86 ± 0.05m), alkalinity (95.51± 6.44mg/L), acidity (97.03±7.45) and total hardness(12.11±1.55).Only TDS, conductivity, alkalinity and total hardness showed significant (p<0.05) spatial variation across the sampling stations. However, the values of temperature, TDS, conductivity, alkalinity and total hardness indicated significant seasonal variation. Similarly, there were no significant (p<0.05) spatial and seasonal variation in the values of heavy metals recorded across the sampling stations. All the physico-chemical parameters and heavy metals in this study are below the maximum permissible limit recommended by WHO. The result showed that Stubbs Creek is less polluted at present and safe for the biota. However, responsible use of the water bodies by all and sundry should be maintained in order to preclude problems common with effluents discharge.
Environmental Aspects of the New Deal of US President Franklin Roosevelt
Authors: Perga T.
Published: June 2021

The global economic crisis, which began in 1929, became one of the strongest in the 20th century and most of all, the crisis struck the USA. To overcome its consequences, USA President Franklin Roosevelt has launched large-scale reforms that are known in the history as the New Deal. An important part of this anti-crisis program was the improvement of the environment of the USA. In modern scientific discourse, there are different points of view regarding the motivation of these measures. In the article it is proved that President F. Roosevelt has not only pragmatic goals of creating additional jobs and reducing by thus the social tension in American society. Taking into account the aggravation of environmental problems, for the first time in the history of the USA, their solution was combined with the stimulation of economic growth. Innovative environmental projects (Tennessee Valley Administration, Public Conservation Corps) not only contributed to improving the USA environment, but also laid the foundation of integrated management of natural resources and created the basis for the development of a broad ecological movement after the World War II.

The introductory part of the paper indicates dilemmas regarding life imprisonment punishment. Further it defines the concept of punishment and determines the purpose of punishment, stating the essential characteristics of life imprisonment punishment. The life imprisonment punishment for criminal offenses in which conditional release is not possible has been taken under special consideration, indicating the legislator’s omissions, and offering suggestion, so that the observed omissions could be corrected. The legal institute of conditional release, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, in the context of life imprisonment punishment, were discussed, followed by a critical review of the conclusions of the Expert Meeting held in Belgrade on September 25, 2020. An explanation has been given as to why it is not necessary to change the existing solution in our criminal legislation; with notice that even if the position derived from these conclusions should be accepted, that the existing legal solution ought to be changed, proposed implementation would not be acceptable, because the intent (which the author of this paper does not advocate for) would not be achieved by the proposals from that conclusions, as it is emphasized in this paper. Furthermore, the purpose of this paper is to find plausible arguments for the existing solution in our criminal legislation, meaning that for certain criminal offenses or the most serious forms of heinous crimes, offenders can be sentenced to life imprisonment without the right to parole. In addition, the objective is to specify that the conclusions of the Expert Meeting which was held in Belgrade on September 25, 2020, and especially the proposals attained from those conclusions are not admissible in relation to our criminal law.

The latest amendments to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia have quite a lot of controversy among the professional public. The subject of this paper is a critical review of various propositions for overcoming legislative omissions in relation to the sentence of life imprisonment without conditional release for certain criminal offences. Furthermore, this paper deals with prison sentences for crimes for which the conditional release is legally excluded. The intention is to encourage the professional public to find the best solutions for overcoming legally untenable prohibition of conditional release for people sentenced to life imprisonment. The author estimates that pardon, in our legislation, does not represent an effective legal remedy, nor an alternative to conditional release.

Published: June 2021

Online language learning has become a household term after the Covid-19 pandemic which has played havoc all over the world. To avoid disruptions in educational activities, the education providers, mainly at the tertiary level, switched to virtual learning using different platforms. This study investigates the strengths and weaknesses of online language learning from the perception of ESL students and their instructors and pays attention to the occurrence of teacher-student interaction in online classes at a Sri Lankan university called the South Eastern University of Sri Lanka. A preliminary survey with a larger number of students was followed by a concise online survey with a part of those students. Discussions were held with the volunteer students and selected instructors were met personally for interviews. At the end of the discussions, written submissions were obtained in response to open-ended questions from the students and instructors. The findings revealed that students preferred to have traditional learning due to the reasons connected to their cognitive development and prevailing technical issues in online learning. Instructors also preferred traditional learning to online learning. However, both students and instructors felt that students’ performance anxiety was lower in online classes that induces them to have teacher-student interaction. It was also revealed that only those students whose language proficiency is higher involved in interaction while others remained passive irrespective of online or traditional classes. Hence, future studies are needed to investigate how students’ anxiety influences students’ involvement in classes and the pedagogical training needs of the instructors.

Pelayanan di bidang kesehatan, tidak terpisah akan adanya penyedia jasa kesehatan dengan konsumen pengguna jasa kesehatan. Pasien dalam hal ini berkedudukan sebagai konsumen dikenal sebagai penerima jasa pelayanan kesehatan dari pihak rumah sakit sebagai pemberi jasa pelayanan kesehatan dalam bidang perawatan kesehatan. Status pasien sebagai konsumen jasa kesehatan, maka ia juga mendapatkan perlindungan sesuai dengan Undang-undang Nomor 8 Tahun 1999 tentang Perlindungan Konsumen.
Kemajuan di bidang kesehatan telah dapat menyembuhkan dan merawat kesehatan pasien untuk dalam jangka waktu tertentu. Namun, adakalanya sakit pasien tidak dapat disembuhkan lagi. Untuk pasien yang yang telah lama sakit dan dirawat, dalam keadaan seperti itu, tidak jarang keluarga pasien menjadi iba juga selain sudah tidak ada biaya perawatan (ekonomi) sehingga meminta dokter untuk segera melakukan tindakan medis untuk mengakhiri penderitaan pasien yang lebih dikenal dengan euthanasia atau dengan kata lain mercy killing.
Permasalahan yang diambil dalam penulisan ini meliputi beberapa masalah yang menjadi topik pembahasan adalah yang pertama bagaimana perspektif hukum perlindungan konsumen terhadap tindakan euthanasia? yang kedua adalah apakah tindakan pihak keluarga pasien yang mengajukan permohonan untuk dilakukan tindakan euthanasia dikategorikan pelanggaran hukum ditinjau dari UU perlindungan konsumen?
Peneliti hendak melakukan pengkajian, mengingat dari fakta hukum yang ada, kebutuhan akan adanya suatu undang-undang yang mengatur tentang euthanasia di Indonesia, menurut penulis sangatlah mendesak untuk segera dilaksanakan dimana di dalamnya juga harus membuat syarat dan prosedur yang cukup ketat serta pelaksanaannya harus disertai rasa tanggung jawab.

The above constitutional guarantees can then be traced in the UUPA, particularly in Article 5 of the UUPA which states that national agrarian law is based on customary law. This means that the legal strength of land rights for customary communities is highly guaranteed in Indonesia's positive law. That the control of ulayat / customary land is not regulated in writing but it is felt in the mind of each member of the customary law community, besides that the customary law community has historically been founded in philosophy before the birth of the Indonesian State.

However, the application of Indonesian law to crimes committed in the territorial areas of other countries will relate to issues of law enforcement jurisdiction. This raises a problem regarding the extent to which the active nationality principle can apply to the perpetrators of the crime of money laundering whose predicate crime and crimes of probation, co-operation or conspiracy are committed outside the territory of Indonesia. The preparation of this paper uses a normative research method with a statutory approach. This paper concludes that the active nationality principle can be applied based on the provisions of Article 2 paragraph (1) letter z and Article 10 of the Money Laundering Act. The application of the active nationality principle cannot be carried out absolutely because there are limitations related to the sovereignty of the State where the criminal act is committed, the sovereignty of this country is closely related to the legal jurisdiction of a country. Therefore, to be able to apply Money Laundering Act in the jurisdiction of other countries, a legal basis is needed in the form of formal cooperation or mutual assistance.

The prominent legal issues in balinese law can be classified in two problems, inheritance and purusa ( descendant ), purusa is an inherent status (comonly for male) after marriage. If there is later a divorce, the judge must consider the decision in applying the law that was enforced in deciding the divorce case.
Referring to Balinese customary law, when there is a divorce, the child's custody will fall on the purusa / father because the child will become a descendant of the father's family, whereas in the Decision of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia number: 126K / Pdt. / 2001 dated August 28, 2003 states that "If the father and mother divorce, then the care of the underage child is left to the closest and familiar person to the child, namely the mother". Therefore, the basis for weighing judges in determining custody of children in Hindu religious divorce in Balinese customary law is to combine two legal mechanisms between customary law and national law, where from the aspect of Balinese customary law which adheres to the purusa system, the right is on the purusa party but because the child is still underage, the child is under the mother's care until the child become an adult, and mother can not prevent the child to exercising rights and obligations in the father's family as purusa.
