Authors: Hidayanti Yesi , Muliati Indah
Published: February 2024

This research is motivated by the large number of Tahsin Al-Qurán students who are spread across various places of Al-Qurán education but still have minimal correct pronunciation of Tajweed. This is influenced by learning methods, the role of the teacher, and the regulations set by the Al-Qurán education place. So here it is interesting for me to study the method used in learning Tahsin Al-Qurán, namely the Talaqqi method. What I studied was aimed at finding out the implementation of the students' Halaq letter recitation in the house of the Baitul Qurán tahfidz in Padang City. This study uses a qualitative method. The population of this study was 4 people. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews and documentation with the head of the Tahfizh House, teachers and students. Data analysis uses data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Based on the research results obtained through observations, interviews and documentation at the Baitul Qurán tahfizh house in Padang City, the implementation of the Talaqqi method in correcting the makharijul of Halaq letters at the Baitul Qurán tahfizh house in Padang City is done by the teacher first correcting each of the students' halaq letters, supported by talaqqi book, jaw chart, and blackboard.
Detailed review of development and study of martial arts by scientists: How does the truth differ from a television image
Authors: Zhao Jie
Published: February 2024

The research relevance is determined by the frequent distortion of reality in the modern world, especially on television, where an alternative reality is created, which helps convey the image to the largest possible audience. The image revealed is purposefully formed to affect the emotional and psychological state of the audience. In films, the conveyance of certain value patterns can often be seen, which reflects the educational functions of sports and martial arts, depicting socially approved patterns of behaviour. The study aims to review the development and study of martial arts on television by scientists. The primary research methods are comparative analysis, descriptive analysis, classification, induction and deduction, and generalisation of approaches, which were used to describe and highlight the main problems of reality and television images in martial arts. Aspects of the study of martial arts by scholars are disclosed in the article; the specifics and peculiarities of the image of athletes on television are analysed; the importance of image for athletes is described. A detailed analysis of the literature was conducted, and the content, characteristics and features of this phenomenon were clarified; audiovisual, program and plot methods of demonstrating a professional image on television have been found; the possibilities of using the image of athletes in advertising are shown; the tendencies of influence of sports programs on human psychology, idealisation of life and appearance are characterised. The study materials represent practical and theoretical value for athletes, students of physical disciplines and contestants in combat competitions, who are trying to achieve the ideal and set an example for the younger generations. The information is valuable for specialists in the field of media influence on a person and his psychology, able to explain in more detail the process of perceiving an image from television

A historical perspective on water governance in Republic of Ireland
Authors: Hammond Antwi Sarpong , Linnane Suzanne , Rolston Alec , Getty David , H. Slinger Jill
Published: February 2024

This paper provides a historical perspective on the evolution of water governance in the Republic of Ireland where long-term shifts in agricultural activities, demographic characteristics, water and debates over drinking water supply charges have influenced water resources governance and the integration of management practices. Drawing on threads from the past, the paper first describes how water governance from the early 1950s focused on rural access to water, pollution control and monitoring. With the advent of the Water Framework Directive in 2003, the crux of policy and management practices changed, with 81% of present policies mirroring Integrated Water Resource Management principles. However, issues such as the implementation of drinking water supply water charges and equitable access to water resources remain controversial. Looking to the future, the effects of climate change and land use planning, as well as demographic changes and international legislation are among those factors influencing water policy and management in the Republic of Ireland. Structured stakeholder engagement and further research directed at improving water quality is advocated to promote a sustainable and equitable water future.
Value of aspirin in assisted reproductive technology
Authors: Koigi Dr. Mary Kiria , Kamau Prof. R. Koigi , Koigi Dr. Paul Kamau
Published: February 2024

Infertility affects at least 15% of couples worldwide, and its prevalence is higher in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Although expensive, especially in LMICs, the uptake of assisted reproductive technology (ART) services is on the rise. The cohort of patients who utilize these services tend to be older and prone to pregnancy-related complications, such as hypertension and early pregnancy loss.  Aspirin is not only affordable and accessible but also widely used for its antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory effects, which may counteract implantation failure or miscarriage.   Although this sounds logical, sufficient evidence has not been adduced. In addition, there is currently no consensus on the dosage of aspirin. It is important to consider the therapeutic advantages of aspirin in pregnancies conceived through ART to optimize pregnancy outcomes. There is a need for more research on the benefits that may be accrued using aspirin in ART and other high-risk pregnancies.
A missed mummified twin abdominal pregnancy: A case report
Authors: Maina Maxwell , Mwangi Claire , Moemi Ronald , Mokomba Alfred
Published: February 2024

Background: Abdominal pregnancies are rare pathologic ectopic pregnancies that occur in 1:10,000-30,000 pregnancies. Implantation sites include the pelvic and abdominal peritoneum, uterine surface, omentum, and abdominal organs, including the intestine, liver, spleen, diaphragm, and large blood vessels. They are frequently missed antenatally, especially because there are no specific clinical signs and symptoms for abdominal pregnancy making diagnosis difficult. Diagnosis is often made during cesarean delivery. Ultrasonography modalities have high diagnostic errors between 50 and 90%.
Case presentation: A 41-year-old presented with copious purulent vaginal discharge that was mixed with blood and was foul-smelling for two months as a referral to the Kenyatta National Hospital. Abdominopelvic computed tomography revealed a heterogeneous lesion in the left hemi abdomen. Her last menstrual period was December 2022 with DMPA in the same month. Her PDT was negative. She was sick-looking and had a purulent vaginal discharge. Intraoperatively, 500 mls of serous fluid was observed, and abdominal pregnancy, approximately 24–28 weeks of gestation with mummified skull bone, brain tissue, ribs, and long bones of the lower and upper limbs in their multiples suggestive of twin gestation. The patient’s postoperative period was uneventful, and she was later discharged in good condition. 
Conclusion: Proper and timely diagnosis of abdominal pregnancy is required to improve outcomes, especially maternal outcomes. In this case, the pregnancy was fatal to the fetus, although maternal mortality have been reported. The diagnosis may come as a surprise finding intraoperatively theatre-like in this case and in some cases postemergency cesarean delivery for failed labor induction. The diagnostic modality of choice is ultrasonography, although our patient had ultrasound and computed tomography but ended up with a misdiagnosis because of the complexity of the diagnosis of abdominal pregnancy.

Authors: Oyoo Polycarp , Zahida Qureshi  , Alfred Osoti  , George Gwako  , Jennifer Okore  , Jim Kelly Mugambi  , Joan Mwende
Published: February 2024

Background: Training healthcare providers on early detection and use of the first response bundle for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) cases was one of the key strategies used in the intervention facilities during the E-MOTIVE trial. Results published from the E-MOTIVE trial revealed a marked reduction of 60% in the severity of PPH, idicating the need to implement the same approaches in the 11 control arm facilities.  
 
Methods: Healthcare providers (HCPs) from the 11 sites were trained on the E-MOTIVE bundle and issued with PPH emergency trollies, mannequins, and blood pressure machines. The staff was also mentored on self-PPH audits and feedback mechanisms from the data generated monthly from the labor ward. Two days of on-site training were conducted for the staff, which included knowledge tests (before and after) and skills assessment (objective skilled clinical examinations (OSCES)). EMOTIVE champions were identified from the training to promote ongoing skills practice sessions at the facility level. Monthly follow-ups were cpnducted to track individual progress using the training tracking sheet.
 
Results: The HCPs cited confidence in detecting and treating PPH after the training with the hospitals demonstrating readiness in managing PPH through the presence of PPH emergency trollies. There was increased teamwork among the HCPs with improved documentation practices in the labor wards.
 
Conclusion: Adoption of a sustainable training approach for healthcare providers in the prevention, early detection, and treatment of PPH that incorporates evidence-based strategies is key to improving maternal outcomes. National and county ministries of health have demonstrated a commitment to leverage the E-MOTIVE bundle approach after remarkable findings.
Use of nonpneumatic anti-shock garment and first response care bundle to improve maternal survival following obstetric hemorrhage in Migori County, Kenya
Authors: Siele Carren Cheronoh , Wafula Meshack
Published: February 2024

Background: Despite targeted efforts by the Ministry of Health and nongovernmental organizations, the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) was 673 in 100,000 live births in Migori County, Western Kenya. The first confidential investigation into maternal deaths was a detailed review of half of the maternal deaths reported across Kenya in 2014. Approximately 40% of maternal deaths were due to obstetric hemorrhage (OH), and 90% were attributed to substandard care. 
Objectives: To evaluate the use of a nonpneumatic anti-shock garment (NASG) and first response bundle in maternal survival following postpartum hemorrhage. 
Methods: An implementation team trained maternity care staff at 104 participating facilities (responsible for 85% of facility births for the county) to use the first-response bundle, NASG, and uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) combined with NASG for uterine atony. The study had two phases, beginning July 1, 2020, and ending September 30, 2021. 
Results: 63,580 deliveries were reported, giving an OH rate of 1.32%. Of 838 women with OH, 51.8% showed signs of hypovolemic shock (n=434). NASG was applied per protocol to 56.5% (n=267) of women and preventively to 146 (36.1%) of the 404 women with OH. For most women with OH who did not receive NASG, the provider stated that it was not necessary. In three cases, NASG was not applied due to lack of a trained provider, and in four cases, NASG was not available at the facility. The use of the complete first-response bundle increased from 37.3% to 42.3% over time. For tranexamic acid (TXA), 40.8% of eligible women who received TXA had received the other three interventions. 86 were managed with both the UBT and NASG (22.5%).
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the use of the NASG and PPH first-response bundle is feasible at tertiary and primary health facilities. The limitation to the use of a first-response PPH bundle is whether there is a local commitment to expand the availability of TXA.
Interstitial cystitis – a diagnostic dilemma: A case report
Authors: Miheso Johnstone , Osoro Doreen
Published: February 2024

Background: Interstitial cystitis is a debilitating condition with a rising prevalence due to increasedresearch and diagnostic criteria. Interstitial cystitis falls under the category of urologic chronic pelvic painsyndrome and is a diagnosis of exclusion. Interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome (BPS) ischaracterized by chronic inflammation. Common symptoms include chronic pelvic pain, pressure, ordiscomfort perceived to be related to the urinary bladder accompanied by other urinary symptoms, suchas persistent urge to void or urinary frequency in the absence of confusable diseases (hypersensitivebladder symptoms). The true burden of interstitial cystitis is underestimated, and the economic burden ofthe disease is due to multiple office visits and an increase in direct medical costs.Case presentation: A 59-year-old para 2+0 (2 previous scars) postmenopausal with a 1-year history offrequency (up to eight episodes) nocturia with low abdominal pain. Her urinalysis profile, urea,electrolytes and creatinine, and ultrasound and computed tomography of the kidneys, ureters andbladder, pap smear, and random blood sugar tests were unremarkable. Cystoscopy was hemorrhagicwith biopsy histology showing ulcerated bladder mucosa with numerous plasma cells, eosinophils, andneutrophils in the lamina propria no atypia, with fibrosis and dilated capillaries in the lamina propria. Onfollow-up she had a recurrence of pain symptoms with a cystoscopy biopsy, seven months later showingplasma cell infiltrate with ulceration of the overlying urothelium, and congestion of the blood vessels. Shewas not neoplastic and was put on antihistamine, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, and solifen.Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis and treatment of interstitial cystitis will reduce the burden of diseaseassociated with multiple outpatient visits and unnecessary use of antibiotics. The mainstay ofmanagement is oral and intravesical treatment with surgery in refractory cases.

Authors: Wamuyu Martin Wachira , Ratemo Boniface , Mwai Lydia
Published: February 2024

Operations strategy is the value-adding process used by the company to guarantee that customers receive value through the conversion of resources into finished goods and services. Operations management procedures include quality control, supply chain management, inventory management, risk management, and information technology. The main objective of this study was to establish the influence of inventory management strategy on the performance of retail chains in the Nairobi Central Business District. The study was anchored on the systems theory. The study adopted a descriptive research design and the target population was 34 retail chains within the Nairobi CBD area. The sample population involved 80 managers who were in charge of the retail chains in Nairobi CBD. Self-administered structured questionnaires were used to collect primary data. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found that inventory management strategy has a positive significant influence on the performance of retail chains in the Nairobi Central Business District. This is because an increase in a unit of inventory management strategy leads to an improvement of the performance of the retail chains. The study recommended that retail chains should implement inventory management practices that aim to reduce deadstock and minimize inventory holding costs. The study also recommended that organizations should utilize inventory forecasting techniques to accurately predict demand and adjust inventory levels accordingly. The study further recommended that retail chains should explore vendor-managed inventory (VMI) arrangements with key suppliers to maintain optimal stock levels. The study recommended that retail chains should regularly assess and update inventory turnover strategies to meet customer demand effectively.

Impact of Gestational Diabetes and Pre-existing Diabetes in Fetal Outcome among Pregnancy Cases of Rangpur
Authors: Nahida Sultana
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Diabetes in pregnancy, including gestational and pre-gestational diabetes, presents significant risks to both maternal and fetal health. Understanding the impact of these conditions on pregnancy outcomes is crucial for developing effective management strategies.

Methods: This observational comparative study involved 300 pregnant women at Rangpur Medical College Hospital, divided into three groups: pre-gestational diabetic (Group A), gestational diabetic (Group B), and non-diabetic control (Group C). Data on socio-demographic characteristics, obstetric profiles, mode of delivery, maternal complications, and fetal outcomes were collected and analyzed.

Result: The study meticulously analyzed socio-demographic characteristics, revealing no significant differences across the groups. In obstetric profiles, Group A (Pre-Gestational Diabetic) had a notably lower mean gestational age at delivery (36.06 ± 2.71 weeks) compared to Group B (Gestational Diabetic) and Group C (Control), with mean ages of 37.34± 1.12 and 38.46±1.13 weeks, respectively. Maternal complications were significantly higher in Group A at 47%, compared to 25% in Group B and 12% in Group C. Fetal outcomes showed marked variations: Group A had 95% stable births, 5% stillbirths, and 60% of neonates with Apgar scores ≤7 at 5 minutes. In contrast, Group B had 96% stable births, 4% stillbirths, and 27% of neonates with Apgar scores ≤7, while Group C reported 100% stable births and 11% with Apgar scores ≤7. Birth weight distribution indicated 24% of neonates in Group A weighed <2 kg, compared to 5% in Group B and 4% in Group C. NICU admissions were highest in Group A (44%), followed by Group B (29%) and Group C (11%). Perinatal complications like birth asphyxia (38% in Group A, 16% in Group B, 6% in Group C), hypoglycemia (22% in Group A, 10% in Group B, 4% in Group C), and hyperbilirubinemia (16% in Group A, 12% in Group B, 0% in Group C) were also significantly higher in diabetic groups.

Conclusion: The presence of gestational or pre-gestational diabetes in mothers significantly impacts fetal outcomes and increases the risk of maternal complications. This study highlights the need for specialized care and vigilant monitoring in pregnancies complicated by diabetes to improve health outcomes for mothers and babies.

Tax justice is very important to the legitimacy of the tax system in Afghanistan. On the one hand, any taxes cannot be derived from the people without a legal basis, and on the other hand, the taxes should be fair and reasonable. Regarding taxes in Afghanistan, it seems that in some cases, the taxes consisting of direct and indirect taxes are not justifiable. The very major examples are the VAT (Value Added Tax), the tax on credit cards, and some tax on income in the legal system of Afghanistan. During determining tax, the tax authorities should evaluate the life and characteristics of taxpayers to determine whether they have the ability to pay tax or not. These are the concerns regarding the social justice of taxes. So, we are trying to find the response to this question: Is social justice respected and observed in the tax legal system of Afghanistan? No doubt, in some cases, the taxes in Afghanistan are not rightful. The economic conditions of people are not equal. Most people in Afghanistan are very poor. As a result, tax authorities should assess people's living conditions. In addition, the government should codify fair taxes for the people. The method of the research will be descriptive and analytical. The method of collecting data is librarianship. We reviewed books, articles, magazines, and the national laws of Afghanistan

Published: February 2024

Sea is an ecosystem that contains biota and abiotic that are interdependent on one another. Marine resources have many possible uses, so protecting them from environmental damage is extremely important. In addition to needing protection, most coastal residents rely on marine resources for survival, so it is essential to make various efforts to prevent their degradation. In this context, the role of government and society is needed to protect and preserve it. Several regions in Indonesia still prioritize local wisdom in protecting marine ecosystems, especially coastal areas. This research examines the Panglima Laot as the guardian of coastal natural resources in Aceh; this province is located at the western tip of Indonesia. A traditional institution known as Panglima Laot exists among Acehnese people, particularly among those who live along the shore because they play a key part in reducing environmental deterioration and enhancing the conditions for fishermen. The coastal community of Acehnese is participating in the preservation of marine habitats by maintaining Panglima Laot. The locals think that conserving ancestors' cultural legacy involves caring for nature and acting responsibly. The strategy employed in this qualitative study for data collecting is ethnography and literature review. According to the reality on the ground, Panglima Laot continues to have legitimacy from the locals, which means Aceh's maritime ecosystem is still maintained. The next generation must be educated to preserve cultural tradition.
