Authors: KOÇULU DEMİR Safiye , AKAGÜN Tülin
Published: October 2023

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate HBV, HCV, and HIV seroprevalence and their 9-year changes in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) treatment in the Giresun province in Turkey.
Material-Methods: A total of 607 patients over the age of 18 who received hemodialysis treatment in Giresun – Turkey, provincial and district hospitals in 2013 and 2022 were included in our study. The files of the patients were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics of the patients and serology results of HBV, HCV, HDV, and HIV were recorded. The data was evaluated using the IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 program.
Results: A total of 607 patients, 385 of whom received HD treatment in 2013 and 222 who received HD treatment in 2022, were included in the study. 230 (59.7%) in 2013 and 135 (60.8%) in 2022 of male patients. While the mean age of the patients was 60.26±14 years in 2013, it was 63.08±13.18 years in 2022. In 2013, HBsAg positivity was detected in 9 (2.3%), HBV-DNA positivity in 4 (44.4%), anti-HCV positivity in 31 (8.1%), and HCV-RNA positivity in 8 (25.8%) patients. In 2022, HBsAg positivity was detected in 4 (1.8%), HBV DNA positivity in 2 (50%), and anti-HCV positivity in 31 (8.1%) patients. Compared with dialysis duration, the anti-HCV positivity rate was significantly increased in patients with long dialysis duration (p<0.001).
Conclusion: In line with the health policies, the epidemiological data obtained support a decrease in the population’s seroprevalence of HBV and HCV. However, according to the results of our study, it was determined that there was no significant decrease in HBsAg seroprevalence in patients who received HD treatment over nine years.
As a result, it was concluded that it would be beneficial to closely monitor the seroprevalence of viral hepatitis in patients receiving HD treatment.

Authors: BENALI ABDELKADER
Published: October 2023

In this study, we have employed the highly significant hyperbolic tangent (tanh) method to conduct an in-depth analysis of nonlinear coupled KdV systems of partial differential equations. In comparison to existing sophisticated approaches, this proposed method yields more comprehensive exact solutions for traveling waves without requiring excessive additional effort. We have successfully applied this method to two examples drawn from the literature of nonlinear partial differential equation systems.
ASSESSMENTS ON THE FRICTION AND WEAR BEHAVIOR OF SOME POLYMERIC MATERIALS USED IN SLIDING CONTACTS
Authors: PETRE IVONA CAMELIA , STOIAN ELENA VALENTINA , ENESCU MARIA CRISTIANA , RUSANESCU CARMEN OTILIA
Published: October 2023

The effects of friction on polymeric materials are quite difficult to explain due to the micro and macroscopic interactions of the friction coupling surfaces, which slide over each other. The friction and wear behavior of surfaces in sliding motion can be considered important design criteria. By adding different concentrations of reinforcing agent to the base material, the tribological performance of surfaces in sliding motion can be obtained. The experimental study was carried out on a pin-on-disc type tribological stand under dry friction conditions. The friction and wear behavior was analyzed for two base materials (PTFE and PA66) and the same glass fiber reinforced materials (PTFE + 25% fiber-glass and PA66+GF30). The tests were carried out at different sliding speeds and loading forces, v1=0.20 m/s, v2=0.50 m/s, v3=0.75 m/s and loading forces, Fn1=1.0 N,
Fn2=2.5 N, Fn3=5.0 N over a friction length of 5000 mm. Research has shown that the coefficient of friction decreases with increasing loading force. Tests have shown that a high value of the friction coefficient does not mean a high wear rate, the wear rate values are between 10-12 and 10-15 m2/N. TheL(1) presences of the reinforcing agent in the base material have a significant importance on the friction and wear behavior under the action of operating factors (load, sliding speed).

Generalized exfoliative erythroderma is an inflammatory skin syndrome. The incidence in dermatological patients is 13 out of every 100,000 patients. Its etiology is multifactorial, so it is a challenge to identify them, among the most common causes are psoriasis, drug hypersensitivity and phototoxicity. Most of the time, the clinician is oriented to think of a direct relationship between the dermatological presentation and the consumption of medications, since it is the most published cause founded in the medical literature and indexed journals. The clinical case that we present, refers to a case of erythroderma associated to a systemic infection. So far there are three documented cases in this regard in medical databases such as PubMed [1, 2, 3]. Our report is unique in this sense, we present the clinical case of a woman in her seventh decade of life with a history of hyperuricemia and chronic eosinophilia syndrome, hospitalized for urosepsis that debuted as desquamative erythroderma.

Women who work in essential and critical sectors experience increased stress and anxiety during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results of previous research explain that intolerance to uncertainty and adjustment are related to psychological disorders such as stress, conflict, tension, frustration, depression, worry, and anxiety disorders. This research aims to determine the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and the adjustment of women working in essential and critical sectors. The instruments used were the Personal Adjustment Scale and The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-Revised Italian Version (IUS-R Italian). The respondents in this study were 473 female workers in essential and critical sectors who worked in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. The research results show that place of work, type of work, and marital status can influence the level of intolerance of uncertainty in working women. The results of the correlation analysis show that the intolerance of uncertainty variable is correlated with the self-adjustment of working women. The results explain that the intolerance of uncertainty contributes to 10.4% of the self-adjustment variable. These results also explain that the self-adjustment variable contributes 10.4% to the intolerance of uncertainty variable.
A case study of pneumonic changes and death in Nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus) with respiratory disease in Punjab, Pakistan
Authors: Siddiq Sabeera , Shahzad Khawar Ali
Published: October 2023

A nine-year-old Nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus) in Bahawalpur Zoo, Punjab, Pakistan, was ill with respiratory disease, so the pathogens involved were studied, and morphological features and propensity for Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) involved were also speculated. Because of demolition, Nilgai is sparsely populated in Pakistan, so studying the cause of its death was essential. The lung samples were collected, and histopathological techniques and bacterium isolation were used to analyse them. Necropsy, i.e., gross and histopathological postmortem exams, were carried out in the laboratory using customary methods under rigorous crafting circumstances. A standard visual and microscopic methodology was used in gross examination, and routine microbiologic tests were run. Specific and compelling infectious agents have been found in Nilgai's lungs, including Pasteurella multocida and Mycoplasma bovis. Pathology and histopathology revealed that Nilgai had extensive ulceration and chronic swelling behind his mandibles, and the post-mortem report verified this. The report revealed that the lungs were grey hepatised. Histological lesions represented acute, severe, haemorrhagic, and chronic bronchopneumonia stages of pneumonia. Lungs with histological lesions were classified as pattern pneumonia. The current study's goals were to report clinical, pathologic, and molecular data and to determine the cause of the respiratory ailment that affected one Nilgai.

Introduction: Perpetrators of persecution should be subject to punishment as stipulated in the criminal law code, Article 351 Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code. The defendant abused the victim, the torture was carried out in a forced defense because he felt his safety was threatened.Purposes of the Research: So it raises the problem of how to apply noodweer in Article 49 Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code as a reason for abolishing the crime? What are the juridical consequences in the judge's consideration of the forced defense of the crime of persecution.The purpose of the study is to find out the application of noodweer in Article 49 Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code as the reason for the abolition of the crime. To find out the juridical consequences in the judge's consideration of the forced defense of the criminal act of persecutionMethods of the Research: The problem approach used is the conceptual approach, statutory approach and case approach. The legal materials used are primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. Collection of legal materials using literature and then analyzed using quantitative analysis methods.Results of the Research: Based on the results of the research and discussion that the application of noodweer when viewed from the cases taken by the author has been implemented properly and is used as one of the reasons for abolishing a crime, where the reason is a justification but not a reason that justifies the actions of the perpetrator who violated the law, but rather someone is forced to commit an act punishment can be forgiven because there was a violation of law that preceded the act. However, not all actions that are considered as self-defense can be accepted by criminal law as a reason for criminal abolition. Because an act in the noodweer context must comply with the elements specified in Article 49 Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code. The defense outside the elements specified in Article 49 Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code is still possible for the offender to be subject to a criminal sentence. That there are no legal consequences for the perpetrators who are considered to have fulfilled the elements in Article 49 Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code which says: "not convicted, whoever makes a defense is forced to himself or others, the honor of decency or property of himself or others, because any imminent attack or threat of attack at that time would be against the law.” If an act does not meet the elements in that article, then the perpetrator can be criminalized because it is not included in forced defense.

Authors: Oyucho O. , Ochieng’ I. , Agong’ O.
Published: October 2023

Purpose: Foreign portfolio investments have continued to play an important role in the world today because investors are more interested in investments that will give them higher returns for their investments. The purpose the study was to establish the effect of foreign portfolio investments and market returns in Kenya. The specific variables studied were foreign equity portfolios, foreign bond portfolios, foreign portfolio of treasury bills and foreign portfolio of exchange traded funds and how they affect the market returns at the NSE20 share index in Kenya.

Methodology: The research methodology applied panel regression for inferential findings and Langrage multiplier test done to determine the pooled effect with the aid of STATA 18 software. Secondary data was sourced from the NSE annual reports, CMA bulletins, CBK websites of the respective companies listed in the index for the period between 2013 to 2022.

Findings: The study findings indicated a positive and significant relationship of foreign equity portfolios, foreign portfolio of T Bills and foreign portfolio of ETFs with market returns at the NSE20 share index. Conversely, foreign bond portfolio exhibited a negative significant relationship with market returns at the NSE 20 share index.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study supported Modern Portfolio Theory(MPT) that suggests that for an investor to maximize returns, an investor will choose from a wide array of portfolios that will suit his needs and risk profiles and Neoclassical Theory of Investment that suggests that investors will take advantage of location differences to profit from arbitrage opportunities and Total portfolio theory that suggests that combination of securities posits a higher performance due to significant diversification benefits linked to a basket of securities. The Modern portfolio theory measuring market return seemed to hold in that it will give an investor an understanding of the most efficient portfolio that will give the largest returns at a given level of risk. The theory was suggested for future related research because it will give an investor a strategy for successful portfolio investments.

Authors: Kengere Petronilah , Kimani Maina , Manyaga Caleb
Published: October 2023

Purpose: The study sought to establish the effect of interest rate on volatility of share prices of companies listed at the NSE. The study was anchored the loanable funds theory.

Methodology: The study employed a descriptive research design. The population of the study was the 20 companies listed at the NSE that forms the NSE share index as of December 2022.  The study applied census where all the accessible population of all the 20 NSE share index was used. Data was gathered from secondary sources by the aid of a secondary data collection sheet. Data was obtained from financial and statistical reports released by the CBK. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The descriptive statistical tools included frequencies, percentages, means, variances and standard deviations. Inferential statistic tools included Pearson’s Product Moment correlation and the multiple regression analysis.

Findings: The findings indicated that interest rate (β3=0.52939, P=003) have significant positive effect on share price volatility. The study recommended that the monetary committee at CBK should maintain stable interest rates in order to encourage borrowing as it would foster investment in the NSE and other sectors.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The recommendation is in line with the Loanable Funds Theory, as it seeks to establish a reliable and advantageous climate for borrowing. This approach allows businesses and investors to make more effective investment plans, as they can predict the cost of borrowing over time. Additionally, the monetary committee at the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), responsible for setting the policy rate, should take into account how their decisions influence short-term interest rates in the economy. This consideration is important for the well-being of businesses, investors and the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE).

Authors: GHEZAL Lilia
Published: October 2023

Cerebral palsy (CP) is asequela of early brain damage, before birth (antenatal), during (perinatal) or in the first two years. It results in motor disorders affecting movement and posture and/or certain cognitive functions. In Algeria, the number of people suffering from cerebral palsy (CP) is constantly increasing due to the lack of proper care. According to the national association "Amel El Hayet" for the protection of children with cerebral palsy (CP), the number of cases is estimated at 150,000 children with this disability, and Algeria records 150 cases per year. The schooling of children with cerebral palsy (CP) is a significant problem in Algeria beyond access to school, because outside the school context, access to the city, to sports and cultural activities is often impossible despite the importance of these activities in the lives of these children. Thus, some are left solely to the responsibility of their familie with all the problems that could be generated, although there is a legislative framework in which schooling can be organized for these children with disabilities. For example, we can highlight the interest of the convention on the rights of people with disabilities (article 14 of the orientation law on national education of law N°08-04 of January 23, 2008) which specifies that: "the State ensures that children with special needs can enjoy the right to education”. The purpose of our research is to reveal the reality of school integration of children with cerebral palsy (CP)in Algeria and to identify the obstacles that hinder the success of this integration: The lack of teaching resources, the non-specialization of the supervision and thelack of status and the companions’ budgetary positions are among the problems encountered in the field. Faced with all these difficulties, children with cerebral palsy (CP) are prisoners at home, without any educational support. In addition to their physical handicap, these children are invisible in society
