Published: August 2024

Road damage can be attributed to several factors, including high traffic volume, excessive vehicle loads, subgrade bearing capacity, and climatic conditions. Common. methods for road pavement planning include the Road Note 31 method, AASHTO 1993, Component Analysis, and the 2017 Pavement Design Manual. This study aims to review pavement thickness and identify the damage levels on the Palingi-Lansilowo road in Konawe Islands Regency.  
The analysis results indicate that 50% of the road pavement falls into the Severely Damaged category, while the remaining 50% is classified as Moderately Damaged. The dominant causes of road damage are climatic factors and subgrade bearing capacity. The pavement thickness determined using the Component Analysis method includes subbase course of Class C Sand and Gravel (15 cm), base course of Class C Crushed Stone (15 cm), and surface course of Asphalt Concrete (5 cm). This review is based on traffic survey results from 2023. Therefore, it is recommended to reassess the road condition and pavement thickness in the next 10 years, considering urban development and traffic growth rate.

Published: August 2024

Green coal obtained by carbonizing agricultural residues and biodegradable household waste, is one of the innovative solutions currently being used in several countries to tackle deforestation. The aim of this work is to study the technical and economic feasibility for a green coal production Unit in the far North Region of Cameroun. The objectives are to assess the potential of agricultural residues in the locality, the efficiency of the carbonizer, the thermo-chemical characteristics of the green coal produced and its acceptability by users and the viability of the project. For this purpose, an assessment of the used agricultural residues potential was carried out by the mean of residues/products ratio, then the efficiency of the carbonizer was evaluated by calculations as well as the quality of the green charcoal by compared combustion tests conducted in a small-scale enterprise based in Maroua using a "1-barrel" carbonizer. The acceptability tests were made through survey and the Return on Investment (RI) was used as a parameter to evaluate the profitability of the green coal production unit. The results have shown that (i) the theoretical potential of sorghum/millet, maize and cotton stalks is estimated at 2,688,062.4 tons per year, (ii) the efficiency of the carbonizer varies between 22 and 25% depending of the raw material, (iii) Arabic gum is the binder that gives the best quality to the green charcoal, (iv) the green charcoal can very easily find a market. Nonetheless, the Return on Investment shows a deficit in the manufacturing of green coal. Ways for improvement have been proposed. These include the use of a "3-barrel" carbonizer and the rising of the green charcoal selling price to 500 FCFA.
Addressing the Ethical and Legal Complexities in Elderly Care: A Study from India
Authors: Dev Priya S. , Eljo Jeryda Gnanajane
Published: August 2024

The elderly population in India is rapidly increasing, projected to rise from 138 million in 2021 to 194 million by 2031, a 41% increase (National Statistical Office, 2021). This growth presents significant socio-economic challenges, including healthcare costs and pension liabilities. This study explores the ethical and legal issues faced by elderly individuals, identifies barriers to accessing services, and examines attitudes limiting legal action. Using a literature review and conference participation, key findings indicate a lack of understanding of legal rights and distrust in their enforcement among the elderly. Many view the legal system as oppressive, deterring them from seeking legal remedies. High legal costs, technological barriers, and inadequate support services exacerbate these issues. Ethical concerns such as autonomy, informed consent, and equitable care highlight the need for clear guidelines to protect elderly rights. Recommendations include disseminating high-quality resources in multiple languages, leveraging media and teleconferencing for remote areas, and involving community organizations in advocacy. Establishing professional legal provisions tailored to the elderly is crucial to provide necessary guidance and support. The study contributes to existing literature by offering insights into the legal and ethical challenges in elderly care, particularly in developing countries like India. It emphasizes the need for policies and practices that support ethical decision-making and legal protections for the elderly. Future research should refine these strategies and explore additional measures to enhance the well-being and rights of elderly individuals.

Trichomonas vaginalis which colonizes the urogenital tract of humans, is a sexually transmitted parasite that causes the disease trichomoniasis, the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease in the world. Infection with Trichomonas vaginalis can go undiagnosed and it is mostly transmitted by asymptomatic carriers. The public health importance of the problem is underlined by the fact that trichomoniasis is prevalent in women of reproductive age and is associated with serious adverse reproductive outcomes. This infection may lead to the risk of HIV transmission and other STDs. It may cause chronic inflammation of the urogenital tract which may lead to infertility.
Linguistic Features of French Guiana Creole: Analyzing Phonology, Morphology, and Syntax Compared to Standard French and Other Creoles
Authors: Alexus Lewis André
Published: August 2024

French Guiana Creole (FGC) is an unusual language: it combines peculiar phonological, morphological, and syntactic features that are not found in French other creoles. This paper scrutinizes the particular linguistic features of FGC and evaluates them in relation to existing norms of language, it analyses phonological characteristics, delves into morphological complexities; syntaxes get probed too. It checks out the sociolinguistic backdrop in which people speak this language. Having absorbed an array of elements from French, Portuguese, English, African languages and indigenous peoples during the quick economic development that followed European colonial expansion and the Atlantic slave trade, FGC is closely linked to an exceedingly complex colonial history and cultural pluralism. Research on FGC indicates the need not only to study it as a distinct individual language, but also to explore its significance in Creole linguistics. The method for this research is based on a corpus of recorded interviews, written texts and linguistic studies in an effort to comprehensively analyze FGC. Analysis of the phonology of FGC reveals a unique sound system, Morphological analysis looks at word formation processes, while Syntactic analysis surveys sentence structure. The sociolinguistic context embraces linguistic attitudes, the impact of globalization and implications for pedagogy. The conclusion reflects upon FGC’s exceptional features among Creole languages and its theoretical significance for linguistics. It concludes by considering the implications of its findings, proposing future research directions that might yield a more complete understanding of FGC’s rich cultural and linguistic background.
Dependency in Africa: Exploitation in Aspiration to Educational Development.
Authors: Mackatiani Caleb Imbova
Published: August 2024

This study examined the mechanisms that promote educational dependency in Africa. These mechanisms focus on dependency theory, economic and political status of African countries. According to the dependence theory, both economic and educational progress cannot be achieved in a balanced and constructive way because of the nature of the structural interaction between the developed and less-developed states. The benefit of applying dependence theory is to explain human relationships and why wealthy countries continue to be wealthy while impoverished countries find it difficult to escape poverty. Contemporary African scholars in all academic disciplines have blamed the Europeans for the underdevelopment of Africa. This has necessitated the evocation of dependency theory in explaining Sub-Sahara Africa’s under-development conditions. Subsequently, Africa’s underdevelopment has been linked to internal and external factors. The paradigm has recently shifted from political to economic colonialism, which has fueled dependency and underdevelopment in Africa. Nonetheless, there exist justifications for maintaining reliance on education and advancing education in Africa. According to this school of thinking, the sustainability of education depends on the interactions between society and education. The African education industry has been impacted by this paradigm change.
Effect of Public Investment on Private Investment in Côte d’Ivoire: A Long-Term Analysis
Authors: GUEI Pierre
Published: August 2024

Côte d’Ivoire has decided to boost private investment by increasing it to 30% of GDP, following a substantial reduction or even elimination of its debt. To achieve this, the authorities have opted to increase public investment through the construction of infrastructure and the development of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). This strategy is based on the hypothesis of crowding-in effects, reflecting the positive impact of public investment on private investment. This article seeks to verify the existence of such effects in Côte d’Ivoire, within the framework of a dynamic analysis. The use of the Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) model, in the form of Error Correction Models (ECM), has made it possible to show crowding-out effects in both the short and long term. The results recommend redirecting public investment towards more productive sectors and call for caution in an increasing public investment.

Heterosis, commonly known as hybrid vigor, has played a pivotal role in enhancing crop productivity and quality in cucurbitaceous vegetable crops. This review delves into the mechanisms and applications of heterosis in cucurbitaceous vegetables, including cucumbers, melons, squashes, and pumpkins. We examine the genetic basis of heterosis, encompassing the concepts of dominance, over dominance, and epistasis, which underlie the phenomenon of hybrid vigor. Furthermore, we explore the breeding strategies employed to harness heterosis, including the development of inbred lines, the exploitation of heterotic groups, and the implementation of molecular markers for hybrid prediction and selection. The practical implications of heterosis utilization in cucurbitaceous vegetables are discussed, highlighting its contributions to yield improvement, disease resistance, fruit quality, and marketability. Additionally, we analyze the challenges associated with heterosis breeding, such as maintaining parental purity, managing heterotic groups, and addressing genetic erosion. Emerging trends in heterosis research, including genomic approaches, bioinformatics tools, and marker-assisted selection, offer promising avenues for accelerating the development of high-performing hybrid varieties tailored to the needs of diverse agroecological environments. Moreover, we explore the socio-economic implications of heterosis adoption, including its impact on farmer livelihoods, consumer preferences, and agricultural sustainability. By synthesizing existing knowledge and identifying research gaps, this review aims to provide valuable insights for breeders, researchers, policymakers, and agricultural practitioners seeking to optimize heterosis utilization in cucurbitaceous vegetable crops and enhance global food security.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the causes of academic challenges in writing skills in English in 12 years of basic education in Karongi District. A survey research design was used in this study. The theory that guided this study is the cause-and-effect theory (the theory of causality). Qualitative data were analyzed through descriptive analysis, while quantitative data were analysed through descriptive statistics. Instruments used in this study were a questionnaire, an interview, and classroom observation. The target population was 1,114 learners and teachers from three secondary schools. The total number of learners was 88. The sample size was 100 subjects selected from the population by using the cluster random sampling technique for learners since all three senior classes were participants. The purposive sampling technique was used in interviews with three (3) deputy head teachers in charge of studies and three (3) English teachers. This technique was also used to select nine (9) teachers to be given a questionnaire, including three (3) English teachers interviewed. The main findings were the following: Mother tongue interference hinders learners’ development of English writing skills. The results from the study indicate that most of the respondents (58.1%) strongly agree that learners make mistakes related to pronouns, prepositions, subject-verb agreement, and tenses when they are writing, while 32.5% agreed with the statement. Teachers who do not give effective feedback lead their learners to have challenges with their writing skills. Learners lack sufficient vocabulary and grammar to boost their writing skills. The storybook reading strategy, which includes listening to stories, can help learners gain new vocabulary from reading and listening. It is recommended that school leaders organize competitions in writing skills on the part of both teachers and learners and provide rewards to the best performers. School leaders should introduce English clubs in schools and strengthen them in the schools where they are introduced. We recommend that the government and stakeholders in education increase continuous training for teachers in the English language. The recruitment of new teachers should also take into consideration the level of English language proficiency.

Os miomas uterinos, tumores benignos que impactam a qualidade de vida das pacientes, têm sido alvo de avanços consideráveis na compreensão de sua fisiopatologia e nas opções cirúrgicas disponíveis. A abordagem individualizada, considerando tamanho, localização e sintomas, é destacada, com ênfase nas alternativas menos invasivas, como cirurgia robótica e embolização uterina. Objetivou-se elencar a melhor técnica cirúrgica para manejo da condição, bem como estabelecer a variáveis associadas às intercorrências e as complicações de cada cenário. Destacam-se, dentre os determinantes da doença, fatores como idade, etnia, paridade, aspectos hormonais, índice de massa corporal e condições médicas coexistentes. As opções terapêuticas, incluindo miomectomia laparoscópica, miomectomia histeroscópica e embolização uterina, são discutidas, ressaltando benefícios, riscos e considerações específicas para cada técnica. Conclui-se a necessidade de tratamentos que preservem a fertilidade da mulher, e pode-se inferir uma visão crítica sobre a falta de consenso na literatura quanto à superioridade entre abordagens cirúrgicas, enfatizando a importância de estudos adicionais.

Esse artigo buscou investigar os fatores que motivaram a prática da doação de sangue na cidade de Juiz de Fora e região, e quais poderiam contribuir para um maior recrutamento e retenção de doadores, além de avaliar a influência da pandemia de COVID-19 nesse ato e o perfil epidemiológico dos doadores em Juiz de Fora entre dezembro de 2022 e abril de 2023. Foi realizado um estudo transversal utilizando questionário semiestruturado para análise de variáveis. Prevaleceram motivações de caráter altruísta e entre os entrevistados, predominaram homens, faixa-etária de 30 a 39 anos, ensino médio completo e renda familiar de até 2 salários-mínimos. A pandemia causou diminuição nas doações, mas, na cidade, não houve muita discrepância entre doadores e não doadores. Este estudo contribui para análise dos doadores de sangue em Juiz de Fora, mas ainda há necessidade de pesquisas adicionais, para aumentar a quantidade de doadores, a frequência das doações e, consequentemente, os estoques dos hemocentros.

Introdução: O hipotireoidismo autoimune é uma condição crônica caracterizada por uma deficiência na produção de hormônios tireoidianos devido à destruição autoimune da glândula tireoide. Esta doença afeta amplamente a saúde metabólica e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes, sendo associada a uma variedade de manifestações clínicas, como fadiga, ganho de peso, depressão e distúrbios cognitivos. Além disso, o comprometimento metabólico decorrente do hipotireoidismo eleva o risco de complicações cardiovasculares, como dislipidemia e hipertensão, e pode impactar negativamente a fertilidade. A complexidade dessa condição exige uma abordagem terapêutica multidisciplinar e personalizada, que leve em consideração as particularidades de cada paciente e busque tanto o controle dos sintomas quanto a prevenção de complicações a longo prazo. Objetivo: O objetivo desta revisão sistemática de literatura é avaliar as manifestações clínicas e complicações metabólicas associadas ao hipotireoidismo autoimune, bem como discutir as abordagens terapêuticas mais eficazes para o manejo dessa condição. Metodologia: A metodologia adotada para esta revisão baseou-se no checklist PRISMA, que orientou a seleção dos estudos nas bases de dados PubMed, Scielo e Web of Science. Foram utilizados cinco descritores principais para a busca: "hipotireoidismo autoimune", "manifestações clínicas", "complicações metabólicas", "risco cardiovascular" e "tratamento". Os critérios de inclusão abrangeram estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, artigos revisados por pares e estudos que abordaram diretamente as complicações metabólicas e cardiovasculares do hipotireoidismo autoimune. Os critérios de exclusão incluíram estudos em idiomas diferentes do português e inglês, artigos publicados fora do período estipulado e pesquisas que não focaram em adultos.Resultados: Os resultados desta revisão revelaram que o hipotireoidismo autoimune está associado a uma ampla gama de manifestações clínicas que afetam significativamente a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Entre as complicações metabólicas, destacaram-se a dislipidemia e o aumento do risco cardiovascular, além de efeitos adversos sobre a fertilidade. As evidências também sugeriram que a abordagem terapêutica mais eficaz combina reposição hormonal com estratégias de manejo dos fatores de risco metabólicos. Conclusão: Conclui-se que o manejo do hipotireoidismo autoimune deve ser abrangente e individualizado, considerando tanto as manifestações clínicas quanto às complicações metabólicas associadas. A revisão evidenciou a importância de uma abordagem multidisciplinar que vá além da simples reposição hormonal, englobando a prevenção de complicações e a promoção da qualidade de vida dos pacientes.
