Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: Students with traumatic brain injury (TBI) often demonstrate difficulties that impact their successful return to school (RTS). OBJECTIVE: To explore injury severity, age at injury, and time since injury as predictors for performance on measures of cognitive, social and health functioning for students’ participating in a formal RTS cohort at the time of their enrollment in the School Transition After Traumatic Brain Injury (STATBI) research project. METHODS: Outcome measures across cognitive, social, and health domains were analyzed for association with the explanatory variables of interest using quantile regressions and ordinary least squares regression, as appropriate. RESULTS: Students (N = 91) injured after age 13 showed significantly lower cognitive outcomes than students whose injury occurred earlier. Additionally, students more than one-year post-injury demonstrated poorer social outcome on one measure compared to students whose injury occurred more recently. Health outcomes showed no significant association to any predictors. CONCLUSION: The results of this analysis provide a baseline for a group of students with TBI as they enter a RTS research study. This data can now be paired with longitudinal measures and qualitative data collected simultaneously to gain a deeper understanding of how students with TBI present for RTS.

Authors: Wang Duojin , Zhou Jiankang , Huang Yanping , Yu Hongliu
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: Balance support is critical to a person’s overall function and health. Previous neuroimaging studies have shown that cortical structures play an essential role in postural control. OBJECTIVE: This review aims to identify differences in the pattern of neural activity induced by balance tasks with different balance control requirements. METHODS: Seventy-four articles were selected from the field of balance training and were examined based on four brain function detection technologies. RESULTS: In general, most studies focused on the activity changes of various cortical areas during training at different difficulty levels, but more and more attention has also begun to focus on the functional changes of other cortical and deep subcortical structures. Our analysis also revealed the neglect of certain task types. CONCLUSION: Based on these results, we identify and discuss future research directions that may contribute to a clear understanding of neural functional plasticity under different tasks.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are widely used as a dental prosthesis and have a wide application scope. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of using design software in the preclinical teaching of removable partial dentures (RPDs). METHODS: Unreal Engine software was used to build the RPD framework design teaching and training software. All 131 undergraduate students majoring in stomatology in the class of 2018, Kunming Medical University, were randomly divided into three groups and received either traditional experiment teaching, flipped classroom teaching, or software teaching for RPD design. The application effect of the software in the preclinical teaching of RPD design was evaluated by analyzing the examination results and through the use of a questionnaire survey. RESULTS: The differences in the theoretical examination scores among the traditional teaching group, the flipped classroom group, and the software teaching group were not statistically significant (P> 0.05), while the average design scores of upper Kennedy Class I and lower Kennedy Class II subclass II in the software teaching group were significantly higher than those in the traditional teaching group (P< 0.05). Overall, 75% of the students in the software teaching group reported that this teaching method could improve their learning initiative, a higher percentage than in the traditional teaching group (55.8%, P< 0.05). Meanwhile, 90.9% of the students in the software teaching group reported that the software could make RPD-related theoretical knowledge more visual and intuitive, and 93.2% of these students felt it was helpful for understanding the RPD three-dimensional (3D) spatial structure. These percentages were higher than those in the traditional teaching and flipped classroom groups (P< 0.05). CONCLUSION: In the preclinical teaching of RPD design, software training helped the students better understand the 3D structure of RPDs and establish clear design ideas, and it may also be valuable for in-depth research and promotion purposes.

Authors: Ye Bao-Ying , He Ping , Liu Yuan
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: Pregnancy luteoma is a rare hormone-dependent ovarian tumor-like lesion caused by increased androgenic activity during pregnancy. OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical history, ultrasound manifestations, and differential diagnosis of pregnancy luteoma. METHOD: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 26 cases of pregnancy luteoma diagnosed by postoperative pathology, from 2009 to 2022. All cases were from two hospitals: Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital and International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital. The clinical history data and ultrasound characteristics were analyzed and the relevant literature was reviewed. RESULTS: Among the 26 cases, five of them had preoperative ultrasound images. Among these five cases, three patients showed hyperechoic masses with less internal uniformity, while two demonstrated loculated anechoic zones, with clear boundary and regular morphology. Color Doppler showed no obvious internal blood flow signals, or that blood flow signals were visible within the cyst wall and hyperechoic mass. Among the cases, 16 had multiple gestations, while two visited the clinic due to sudden abdominal pain and a huge ovarian mass was found by ultrasonography. The ovarian lump was detected during routine obstetric ultrasound in three cases. The remaining were ovarian cysts found incidentally during caesarean section. Four patients presented with hairy manifestations and one patient had a deepened voice. CONCLUSION: There is no characteristic ultrasound of pregnancy luteoma, and its diagnosis is mainly based on clinical history data and laboratory tests.

BACKGROUND: Internet-related technologies have rapidly developed and started to impact the traditional medical practices, which combined wireless communication technology as well as “cloud service” technology with electronic fetal heart monitoring have become a mainstream tendency. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical application value of remote fetal heart rate monitoring mode (RFHRM) on late pregnancy during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS: From March 2021 to February 2022, we recruited 800 cases of pregnant women received prenatal examination at the Anhui Province Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital. These pregnant women were randomly divided into two groups: the control group (n= 400), which was given traditional management, and the observation group (n= 400), which received remote monitoring technology on this basis. The two groups were compared with neonatal asphyxia, pregnancy outcomes, Edinburgh postnatal depression scale scores (EPDS), prenatal examination expenses and total time consumption. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in pregnancy outcome and neonatal outcome (P> 0.05). However, total EPDS score of 12.5% pregnant women in the observation group were higher than 12. The TPE group had significantly higher mean EPDS scores compared with the RFHRM group (7.79 ± 3.58 vs 5.10 ± 3.07; P< 0.05). The results showed a significant difference in maternity expenses (2949.83 ± 456.07 vs 2455.37 ± 506.67; P< 0.05) and total time consumption (42.81 ± 7.60 vs 20.43 ± 4.16; P< 0.05) between the groups. CONCLUSION: Remote fetal heart rate monitoring via internet served as an innovative, acceptable, safe and effective reduced-frequency prenatal examination model without affecting the outcome of perinatology of pregnant women with different risk factors.

Published: April 2023

This article presents the main ideas and possibilities of the modified straight line method for modeling temperature effects in massive bodies. The calculation model of a rectangular beam with a defined thermal state is adopted. The procedure for reducing the dimensionality of the original equations using the modified method of straight lines and the Bubnov-Galyorkin-Petrov method for boundary conditions is applied. The reduced equation of thermal conductivity and the reduced equation of heat balance are given. Conclusions are made regarding the addition of reduced second-order equations with components from the boundary conditions on the lateral surfaces, and finally reduced second-order equations in spatial variables are given.

We are considering a beam of rectangular cross-section, the three dimensions of which are of the same order. The thermal state of such an object is three-dimensional and is therefore described systematically using three-dimensional heat conduction equations. When applying the modified method of straight lines to reduce the dimensionality of the original equations, it is convenient to use them in the form of a system of partial differential equations of the first order in spatial coordinates.

According to the modified method of straight lines, two systems of straight lines parallel to the coordinate axes Oy and Oz are applied to the beam (a decrease in dimensionality in terms of spatial variables y and z is assumed). The choice of such straight lines is due to the fact that the reduced equations will depend on the variables x and t, that is, they will resemble the one-dimensional equations of the one-dimensional non-stationary problem of thermal conductivity, for which efficient and convenient numerical methods have been developed in the literature of mathematical physics at the moment, to which it is easy to adapt the reduced equation.

The construction industry has a significantly higher degree of fragmentation of process characteristics compared to other types of activity, which are determined by an extremely high level of dynamism of the economic environment, where enterprises are constantly faced with the need to adapt to market transformations, an integral component of which are organizational and structural changes (transformation of the structure, regimes functioning, connections and relations between the components of the economic and production system of the enterprise as an object of management). The formation of development as an innovative investment infrastructure of a construction project has a dual purpose: on the one hand, it acts as an objective indicator of the level of competitiveness of the enterprise, which allows the investor to have a clear idea of the level of investment attractiveness of the enterprise as an object of external investment; on the other hand, as a tool for diagnosing the state of implementation of the investment program and making relevant functional and investment decisions. An innovative process-oriented toolkit for evaluating and selecting options for a portfolio of construction projects is proposed, the content of which is adapted: to the content of the operational activities of the developer as one of the leading subjects of the construction and investment process and to the nature of the structure of the developer company operating in a multi-project business environment as administrator, coordinator and regulator of the processes of initiation, preparation and implementation of construction investment projects. The scientific-methodical and analytical results of the study provide the construction stakeholder enterprise with the proper economic balance of the processes of functioning in the environment of the development project and in the digitally adapted space of formalized strategic coordinates, provide project implementing enterprises with a scientific rationale for the essential growth of adaptogenic characteristics and the choice of an option to substantially improve the state of competitiveness of the enterprise : the results of the work collectively update the scientific and methodological basis of economics and management of construction enterprises.

Authors: Chоvnyuk Yuriy , Cherednichenko Petro , Kravchyuk Vladimir , Maliar Vitalii
Published: April 2023

The special case of industrial investment which is the equipment rent by the enterprises of city building and economy is investigated. The necessity in the quantitative financial analysis of the equipment lease arises both for the owner of the equipment and for the lessee. For the owner it is important to correctly determine the amount of rent and financial efficiency of leasing the equipment. The lessee, if there is an alternative, must decide whether to lease the equipment or buy it. These problems can be solved on the basis of purely financial principles, and any method of their solution is based on the concept of the present value of financial flows.

There are ratios, which allow you to determine the size of payments for the lease of equipment, the effectiveness of leasing equipment for the owner. The problem (to rent or buy equipment?), which is a special case of the problem of measuring efficiency, is solved. Numerical examples of solving the above problems are also given. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the effect of risk and inflation on the rate of interest on which the discounting of cash flows, rent payments are made. The estimation of the market value of urban construction and economy enterprises with different types of risks taken into account has been carried out. The modification of I. Fisher's formula which allows, in conditions of uncertainty, using appropriate methods to predict the real rate of inflation (as well as using the model of capital market equilibrium - in particular beta coefficient) to determine the expected value of inflation rates, inflation risk premium has been substantiated.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORM IN POLAND AS A LESSON FOR UKRAINE FOR THE POST-WAR PERIOD
Authors: Pereguda Yevgen , Zgurska Valentina
Published: April 2023

The war has reduced the intensity of the discourse on decentralization reform in Ukraine, but recent events and statements suggest that this reform will continue, particularly in the political context.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the local self-government reform in Poland in order to highlight those aspects that were not resolved in Ukraine at the time and will accordingly appear on the agenda in the post-war period.

The analysis of decentralization in Poland shows that the reform is not limited to a change in the administrative and territorial structure, but is a complex process. In addition, it is a long-term process and involves the implementation of certain measures in other spheres of public administration, in particular with the aim of overcoming shortcomings that were inherent or were not taken into account during the administrative-territorial reform. First of all, this concerns the financial and budgetary sphere, the democratization of local government, the sphere of education, etc.

Extracting the lessons of the Polish reform for Ukraine, it is possible to hypothesize that in the post-war period, during the resuscitation of the decentralization policy, the following areas of reform will be relevant: the financial and budgetary sphere, the introduction of a system of local taxes based on the principle of "one tax – one level of management"; the administrative-territorial system, namely the presence of state administration bodies at the district level and consolidation of the regional division of the country; political governance at the local, district, and regional levels, namely, the activation of civil society, the introduction of new democratic institutions, and the strengthening of transparency and accountability of local authorities; education etc.

At the same time, the implementation of these and other directions is impossible without the creation of a political prerequisite – a "unified political headquarter" of the reform, namely the achievement of a consensus of the most influential political forces regarding the principles and directions of the reform. This also follows from the experience of decentralization in Poland.
MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION OF LAND RESOURCES
Authors: Petrakovska Olga , Mykhalova Mariia
Published: April 2023

Every science must be based on an ordered terminology. In the process of managing land resources, interdisciplinary decisions are made in which specialists from various fields are involved: lawyers, sociologists, economists, ecologists, surveyors, specialists in spatial planning and information technologies, etc. Under such conditions, it is especially important to have a clear definition of terms to avoid certain misunderstandings. In addition, the European integration direction of the development of Ukraine requires the adaptation of the terminological apparatus to the European scientific and professional environment. The article focuses on the study of the content of the terms "Land Governance", "Land Administration" and "Land Management", since all three definitions can be translated as land resource management. The main methods of land management are: legal, methods of spatial planning, economic and administrative. The terms "Land Governance", "Land Administration" and "Land Management" cannot be considered synonymous. Each has its own tasks, functions and fields of application. "Land governance" is a set and interaction of strategies, processes and institutions through which land, property and natural resources are managed. "Land Management" is an activity related to land as a resource for achieving social, ecological and economic sustainable development. "Land administration" is a basic component of the "Land Management" concept and part of the infrastructure that ensures its effectiveness.

Authors: Yang Hui , Boonme Prapaporn , Amnuaikit Thanaporn
Published: April 2023

Purpose: To investigate the in vitro skin permeation and transdermal behavior of diclofenac sodium using a new system of microemulsion.
Methods: Diclofenac sodium was incorporated into oil-in-water (o/w) and water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsions consisting of a 2:1 ratio of Cremophor RH 40: Span 80 as surfactant phase, ethylhexyl palmitate as oil phase, and a 2:1 ratio of water: isopropanol as aqueous phase. Franz diffusion cell was used to determine the in vitro skin permeation. Morphology of microemulsions were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The depth of penetration distribution was visualized by fluorescently labelling, and observing using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).
Results: The o/w type provided an enhanced permeation flux, with more than a 3- fold increase in permeability coefficient across skin as compared with w/o type. The morphology characterization indicated that both o/w and w/o type were nano-sized and spherical in shape. It was observed by CLSM that o/w type significantly facilitated the penetration of sulforhodamine B (SRB) to the deeper layers of the skin (220 μm) than w/o type (150 μm).
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that diclofenac sodium microemulsion can be transdermal, and the skin penetration depends on the microstructure and composition of microemulsion.

Published: April 2023

Background SARS-CoV-2 induced respiratory illness is increasingly being recognized to be associated with neurological manifestations including an increase in the incidence of strokes, particularly those induced by large vessel occlusion (LVO). Given this, the aim of present study was to determine the influence of SARS-CoV-2 i.e. Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) on mortality, neurological outcomes, and treatment response in patients with stroke due to large vessel occlusion induced by COVID-19.Methods A search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective and retrospective cohort studies was conducted through PUBMED, SCOPUS, MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Central Cochrane Registry of Controlled Trials, and CINAHL databases. The statistical analysis was performed using the relative risk with the Mantel-Haenszel methodology for dichotomous variables with a fixed-effects model. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of the publications and ROBINS-I tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias across the studies.Results Six retrospective observational cohort and case-control studies involving 1000 patients with LVO were included. The group of COVID 19 patients with LVO had a greater risk of mortality(OR= 7.09, [95% CI: 4.6-10.91], I2= 0%, p = <0.00001), fewer rates of treatment success(OR 0.15 [95% CI 0.08-0.29], I2 = 49%, p = <0.00001), and lower favorable outcomes (OR 0.39 [95% CI 0.16-0.96], I2 = 63%, p = 0.04) than COVID 19 negative patients with LVO.Conclusion The findings from present systematic review suggest that patients with COVID 19 and LVO stroke have higher mortality and poorer outcomes than COVID 19 negative patients with LVO stroke.

As espécies do gênero Syagrus possuem uma importância socioeconômica, cultural e ambiental nas comunidades brasileiras onde são encontradas. Dentre as palmeiras de grande importância econômica e nutricional presentes no Semiárido brasileiro, destaca-se Syagrus coronata (Mart.) Beccari, conhecida como “ouricuri” e “licuri”, predominantemente presente no nordeste do Brasil. Tradicionalmente, diferentes partes da planta têm sido empregadas em diversas aplicações medicinais. Na literatura, a planta se mostrou atóxica in vivo e in vitro, e seus fitonutrientes demonstraram variado potencial biológico. Por se tratar de uma planta com resultados promissores tanto biologicamente como quimicamente, e por ela já possuir propriedade industrial concedida, o interesse por mais estudos sobre ela devem aumentar durante os anos. Assim, o presente estudo vem para corroborar com um compilado de informações sobre a espécie através de uma revisão de literatura contendo 15 artigos de pesquisas sobre trabalhos inéditos da planta.

Authors: Nabihah Kharidah Khairullah , Lubis Muhammad Novo Perwira
Published: April 2023

Objectives: To find out the correlation between changes in vertical angle beam in periapical radiography of bisecting techniques to the length dimension of the tooth.

Materials and Methods: This study was a study using laboratory experimental methods. The samples used in this study were incisor 1, incisor 2, canine, premolar 1, premolar 2, molar 1, and molar 2 region 1. Based on the results of the minimum number of samples at G*power, measures of effect size f (0.4512937), α err prob (0.05), power (1-β err prob) (0.8), number of groups (5), number of measurements (2), corr among rep measurements (0.6), nonpersphericity correction € ( (1).  All teeth are treated in the form of a change in angle from the standard angle recommended by White and Pharoah to -10°, -5°, 0°, +5°, +10° , +10° in each tooth using the Dental X-ray unit of Veraview V080 type EX-2 70 kV. 7 mA.

Results: Based on Saphiro-Wilk, Kruskall-Wallis, and Paired t-test tests, it is known that there is a significant relationship between the actual length of the tooth and the length of the radiograph result in the change of angle + foreshortening, and the change of angle - the elongation. However, this does not apply to molar teeth 1 and 2 at positive angle changes However, this does not apply to molar teeth 1 and 2. A change in angle -10° is a change in angle with a better degree.

Conclusion: There is a correlation between the change in vertical angle beam in the periapical radiography of bisecting techniques to the length dimension of the tooth.
Non-syndromic multiple odontogenic keratocyst finding with Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): A rare case report
Authors: Asykarie Ichda Nabiela Amiria , Pramanik Farina
Published: April 2023

Objectives: The aim of this case report is to describe the radiograph pattern of non-syndromic multiple odontogenic keratocyst (OKC). The oral and maxillofacial region was frequently affected by the developmental odontogenic cyst known as OKC, which develops from the dental lamina or its remnants.  The nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) or the Gorlin-Goltz syndrome was typically associated with multiple OKC; however, in about 5% of patients, there were many cysts without a concurrent syndromic presentation.
Case Report:  A 38- year-old female came to the dental radiology installation of the Dental and Oral Hospital, Universitas Padjadjaran, who had been referred for a CBCT examination. She had a history with a dentist about 1 month ago, complaining of dislodged fillings on anterior mandible teeth and complaints of missing several posterior mandible teeth. The patient had a previous panoramic examination; multiple radiolucent lesions were found incidentally. She has no pain, and clinical features showed no evidence of swelling; then, the dentist recommended a CBCT examination with a suspect dental cyst on a posterior mandible dextra.
Conclusion: Based on the examination results, it was concluded that the cone beam computed tomography examination showed the radiolucent lesion, well-defined with a scallop border; this case was radiodiagnosis as  suspected non-syndromic multiple odontogenic keratocyst.
ДИНАМІКА КЛІМАТИЧНИХ ПОКАЗНИКІВ ТА ЇХ ВПЛИВ НА УРОЖАЙНІСТЬ ОСНОВНИХ СІЛЬСЬКОГОСПОДАРСЬКИХ КУЛЬТУР У ВІННИЦЬКІЙ ОБЛАСТІ

Глобальне потепління має прямий вплив на особливості росту, розвитку та формування урожайності усіх сільськогосподарських культур. Мета. Метою досліджень було проаналізувати та співставити динаміку кліматично-погодних умов та урожайності основних сільськогосподарських культур у Вінницькій області, що дозволить встановити фактичний вплив глобального потепління на зміну урожайності основних сільськогосподарських культур. Методи. Дослідження проводилися проведенням аналізу динаміки метеорологічних параметрів за період 2011–2022 рр. за даними Вінницького обласного центру з гідрометеорології. Динаміку урожайності основних сільськогосподарських культур оцінювали на основі даних Державної служби статистики в Україні. Результати. Впродовж 2011–2022 рр. середньорічна температура становила, залежно від року, від 7,9 до 9,8°С, що було на 0,8–2,7°С вище за середньо багаторічну температуру. За період часу з 2011 по 2022 рр. річна сума опадів відрізнялась від середньої багаторічної суми і коливалась в межах від 440 мм, що була на 162 мм менша за середньобагаторічну суму, до 714 мм, що було на 112 мм більше за середньобагаторічну суму опадів. За 12 років досліджень середня сума опадів за рік становила 595 мм, що було на 7 мм менше за середньобагаторічну норму. У 2015 році відмічено найвищу середньорічну температуру повітря – 9,5°С, що була на 2,4°С вища середньобагаторічної норми, а також найменшу суму опадів за рік – 440 мм, що на 162 мм менше середньобагаторічної норми. Це зумовило одержання у цьому році найнижчої урожайності тринадцяти сільськогосподарських культур із шістнадцяти представлених. У 2020 році відмічено максимально високу середньорічну температуру повітря – 9,8°С, що на 2,7°С вище середньобагаторічної норми, а також суму опадів за рік 583 мм, що на 19 мм менше середньобагаторічної норми. Це зумовило одержання найнижчої за весь період спостережень урожайності семи сільськогосподарських культур. У 2021 році спостерігалась одна з найнижчих середньорічних температур за досліджуваний період – 8,1°С та більша за середньобагаторічну суму річна кількість опадів – 629 мм, що на 27 мм більше норми. Висновки. Це сприяло отриманню найвищої урожайності за весь період спостережень 11 сільськогосподарських культур. У 2018 році, коли річна сума опадів була великою – 622 мм, що на 20 мм більше за середньобагаторічну норму, але відмічена висока середньорічна температура повітря, що була на 0,7°С вища, ніж у 2021 році, виявлено високу урожайність п’яти культур.

Flyrock is the dirty little secret of the aggregate industry and its explosives engineers, and they have been remarkably successful in concealing the potentially deadly consequences of flyrock from the public, while continuing to engage in reckless blasting practices based on theoretical guesswork rather than proven practical land use planning safeguards such as permanent (fixed) onsite setbacks (excavation limits) coupled with permanent offsite separation distances from existing and potential future sensitive land uses. Flyrock is an unavoidable by-product of blasting rock, and has the potential to damage personal or real property, injure, permanently disable or kill humans and non-humans, both onsite and offsite. Flyrock, along with other adverse effects such as vibrations, that leaves the boundaries of an aggregate operation, constitutes nuisance and trespass, and damage or injury caused by detonation of explosives, should be held to strict liability. Implementing proactive and forward-looking land use policies that safeguard existing and envisioned sensitive land uses from the potentially deadly consequences of detonation of explosives in aggregate extraction is the most effective way to protect the long-term health, safety and welfare of existing and future generations, and to avoid interfering with the use and enjoyment of third-party real property.

Nigeria is a middle income country whose economy depends largely on crude and refined oil from its natural environment. A larger percentage of Nigeria economy survives mainly on the incomes from oil production. Over the years, there is recurrent dwindling oil revenue orchestrated by oil pipelines vandalism and oil theft in the environment. This is predominant in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. This menace has wreaked havoc on the Nigeria’s economy. Currently, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) claims the losses of 470,000 barrels per day of crude oil amounting to $700 million monthly due to oil theft. The disquiets of these menaces in the environment, which have posed serious threat to Nigeria’s economy, are addressed in this paper. This paper employed the doctrinal legal research methodology in evaluating the recurrent oil pipelines vandalism and oil theft causing a devastating economic meltdown. On this premise, this paper finds that persistent loss of barrels of crude oil and degradation of the environment are due to the lack of adequate security measures and proper enforcement of Oil Pipelines Act together with other relevant environmental laws. Based on the findings, this paper recommends a review of the Oil Pipelines Act, the establishment of a strong environmental security surveillance, and creation of a special court for accelerated prosecution of vandals. It concludes that this will mitigate the alarming economic meltdown of the Nigeria’s economy and promote a sustainable serene environment.
