Objectives:

Empyema and parapneumonic effusions (PPEs) are common complications of community-acquired pneumonia in children. Both contribute to prolonged hospital stay, increased morbidity, and less frequent mortality. This study aimed to describe the demographics, immunization status, clinical profile, etiology, and outcomes in children admitted with empyema and PPE to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.

Materials and Methods:

This was a retrospective cross-sectional study that reviewed folders and electronic records of children admitted from January 2016 to December 2020. Information on demographic characteristics, immunization status, clinical profile, date of admission, and discharge or death were documented. Information was extracted using Microsoft Excel. Data was then analysed with Stata statistical software package version 16.

Results:

Records were available for 51 out of 65 children, the median age was 42 months interquartile range (IQR) (22.5–96) and 68.6% (n = 35) of the children were males. Three of the children 5.9% did not have a chest drain inserted. In all, 60.8% (n = 31) of the children had received all doses of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) up-to-date for age. Four children (7.8%) had oxygen saturation <90%, whereas 43.9% (n = 18) had axillary temperature >38°C. Blood cultures were done for 72.6% (n = 37) of patients, Staphylococcus aureus was isolated in 5 patients (13.5%, n = 5/37) and Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated in 1 patient (2.7%, n = 1/37). While the rest, 83.8% (n = 31) had no bacterial growth. The pleural aspirate culture was done in 64.7% (n = 33) of the patients and 6 (18.1%) had S. aureus isolated. Common antibiotics administered were amoxicillin clavulanic acid in 33.3% (n = 17) of the patients, and ceftriaxone in 31.4% (n = 16) of the patients. Three (5.9%) children died. The median length of hospital stay was 9 days IQR (7–14).

Conclusion:

Empyema and PPE occurred more commonly in children older than 1 year, with a low mortality rate among the children. Most children with empyema were full immunised with PCV-13.

Objectives:

The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is rising globally with its associated morbidity and mortality. Although OSA is associated with hypertension and is the leading cause of secondary and resistant hypertension, its presence is usually not actively sought during clinical evaluation of hypertensive patients resulting in a missed opportunity to treat the condition. This study assessed the prevalence of high risk of OSA and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) among hypertensive patients. It also assessed the pattern of symptoms of OSA among the participants.

Materials and Methods:

We used a structured questionnaire to collect data from hypertensive patients aged 18 years and above, who were attending the outpatient clinics of two tertiary hospitals in Enugu state. Data collected include frequency of symptoms of OSA, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) score, snoring, tiredness, observed apnea or choking, blood pressure, body mass index, age, neck circumference, and gender (STOPBANG) score, number of comorbidities present, and demography of participants. STOPBANG score of 5–8 classified participants as having high risk of OSA, and ESS >10 as having excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS.).

Results:

Three hundred and twenty hypertensive patients were recruited (mean age: 56.0 ± 9.5 years; female: 58.8%). The prevalence of high-risk OSA was 13.8% and that of EDS was 6.3%. Snoring, nocturia, tiredness, and observed apnea were significantly present in 90.9%, 90.9%, 81.8%, and 22.7% of those with high risk of OSA (n = 44), respectively, compared with intermediate (60.6%, 91.5%, 53.2%, and 1.6%) and low risk (12.5%, 77.3%, 19.3%, and 1.1%) groups (P < 0.001, P = 0.003, P < 0.001, and P < 0.001, respectively). Gasping, (χ2 [2] = 8.4, P = 0.015); memory loss, (χ2 [2] = 6, P = 0.04); and sleep fragmentation, (χ2 [2] = 9.9, P = 0.007) also showed significant difference between high-, intermediate-, and low-risk OSA groups.

Conclusion:

The prevalence of the high risk of OSA among hypertensive patients presenting to our tertiary hospitals are modest. Snoring and nocturia are their most common symptoms. We recommend screening hypertensive patients for OSA to identify those at high risk, as they will likely benefit from sleep study and treatment if confirmed.
Practical Design of Hybrid Photobioreactor System for Economic Feasibility and Environmental Sustainability
Authors: Sun Bill
Published: September 2023

Modern photobioreactors for microalgae-based biofuel production face various budgetary challenges in comparison to its competitor design, the traditional open pond system. Herein, a novel design of a double-chamber hybrid photobioreactor is proposed, featuring low-cost components including a 3-W centrifugal pump and recyclable plastic modules for its solar flank, as well as derivatives from tubular and membrane photobioreactors. The hybrid photobioreactor exhibits reasonable hydrodynamic performance with a circulation time of 120 seconds and a mixing time of 38 seconds. A side-by-side runthrough of Chlorella vulgaris cultivation with the novel hybrid photobioreactor and a standard open pond system was done to compare growth rates and system performance under equal environmental conditions. Resulting measurements show that the hybrid photobioreactor produced a 34.87% comparatively greater amount of C. vulgaris by the tenth day of cultivation, demonstrating a significantly higher growth rate (P < 0.05). In contrast, wet-sludge lipid extraction processes show that the C. vulgaris culture grown in the open pond system held a substantially larger lipid accumulation than that of the hybrid photobioreactor, although the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The pilot-scale photobioreactor not only costed as little as the open pond system but also incurred 88.6% less expenses compared to a similarly designed bioreactor made of clear PVC material. Consequently, this project demonstrates the candidacy of the proposed low-cost hybrid photobioreactor design for microalgal biofuel production.

Organic contaminants linked to atmospheric particulate matter have been a major source of worry across the world since the last decade. The ambient air samples were collected from three sites in Ahmedabad city for spatial and temporal variation using a High-Volume Air Sampler (HVAS) to examine the morphology and elemental composition of fine and ultrafine particles by using a Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an energy dispersive X-ray system (EDAX) from PM2.5. The Si, C, O, Cl, Na, Al, K, Ca and Mg were found to be quite abundant in the EDAX spectra. Transition elements such as Ti, Zn, Cu, S and Fe were registered, indicating the influence of industry in liberating the abundance of fine and ultrafine particles. In addition, the organic chemical compounds were screened by using GC–MS. A total of 230 organic chemicals were detected, including 187 aliphatic and 43 aromatic chemical compounds at three different locations. Results show that aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon compounds were found maximum in the urban area followed by industrial and rural areas.

Effect of Guar Gum on Tensile Strength and Moisture Resistance Properties of Sodium Silicate as Wood Adhesive
Authors: Choudhary Manju , Pal Bhupendra , . Meenakshi
Published: September 2023

Sodium silicate has excellent binding qualities and has potential uses in a variety of areas due to its non-toxic, odor-free and fire proof properties. It is very cheap and volatile organic compound free from other available harmful organic adhesive materials. In spite of a lot of positive points, low water resistance has limited its usage as an adhesive in the wood industry on a wide scale. To enhance the bonding properties of sodium silicate for teak wood, three sets of sodium silicate adhesive (simple sodium silicate, modified sodium silicate with silica gel G and guar gum with modified sodium silicate) were prepared. The results showed that modified sodium silicate with 6% guar gum works best for tensile strength as well as best for water resistance. Results of FT-IR data and SEM showed that guar gum was successfully introduced in silicate structure, having good thermal stability in the range of 270C-8000C supported by TGA results.

The genomic effects of radiation exposure: induction of cancers and genetic aberrations in mammalian cells
Authors: Garg Pankaj
Published: September 2023

Radiation exposure can be a two-edged sword. On one hand, the deployment of radiotherapy is one of the most acceptable modalities for malignancy treatment, for the reason of its ability to kill cancer cells. Equally, one is scared of the exposure to man-made emissions in the form of nuclear disasters or related to any form of hilarious power generation during the war. It is rational to facilitate the body enduring small intensity of emissions without any marked side effects. However, there are countless detrimental side effects of being exposed to elevated levels of radiation. These harmful side effects form an underlying fear in the general public in understanding the actual mechanism and concrete remediation of radiation exposure. The present study investigates in detail the principles of radiation safety and how different types of radiation emissions affect the human body when exposed at different levels of their intensity. Furthermore, it is also conferred how cellular mutations are originated in different organs and body systems due to different levels of radiation exposure and also the potential of organisms to develop resistance (threshold limit) to counteract harmful effects of radiation.

Published: September 2023

This study reports on the synthesis of Cu2Zr3O7 nanoparticles using the solution combustion method followed by the fabrication and characterization of micro-composite sheets of Cu2Zr3O7 - HDPE. The characterization was performed using SEM, XRD and EDX analysis which demonstrated the effects of nano-sized Cu2Zr3O7 particles on the crystallinity and surface morphology of the fillers and elemental analysis using the EDX method. The dielectric behavior of the composite was investigated using an Impedance Analyzer. The composite's tensile strength was increased as evidenced by 34% increase in Young's modulus compared to blank HDPE for the sample with 1.5 wt% nanofiller loading. The results indicated that the dielectric constant increased as the frequency decreased, with higher values observed at 10 MHz. However, this trend was less pronounced at reduced filler loadings. The loss tangent initially dropped abruptly and then gradually as the frequency increased between 4 Hz and 1 MHz. The addition of Cu2Zr3O7 nanoparticles resulted in increased conductivity at higher frequencies compared to pure HDPE, with no significant frequency dependency observed at lower frequencies.

Authors: Mitko A. V. , Sidorov V. K.
Published: September 2023

The Northwest Passage (NWP) is a sea route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. In fact, the NWP is a series of short routes passing through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Since all routes pass through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, the Canadian Government insists that these are the «internal waters» of the state. There are many controversies in this regard. The dispute between the United States and Canada over the legal status of the Northwest Passage has been the subject of political and popular debate for fifty years. According to Canada, the Northwest Passage is Canadian, and this issue is not even subject to discussion, so there are no disputes from Canada’s point of view. The article considers the problems of formation and prospects for the development of relations between states in the zone of the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic. The relevance and demand of the transport route in the north of the Western Hemisphere, which is a direct competitor to the Northern Sea Route in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, are noted. The problems of the indigenous peoples of the Canadian Arctic are touched upon, as well as possible ways to solve them through the prism of the national identity of the Canadian state.

Published: September 2023

The prospects for natural gas on the Russian continental shelf are very significant. According to experts, there are about 55 trillion cubic meters of natural gas on the Russian continental shelf. Most of these reserves are concentrated in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, where approximately 43.5 % of the total reserves of the Arctic shelf are located. There are also significant reserves of natural gas in other parts of the Arctic shelf, such as the Barents and Kara Seas. Despite the rather complete regulatory framework that governs all stages of natural gas production, from obtaining a license to the environmental component, the system of regulatory legal acts in the field of gas production can be described as quite complex and multi-level. The article deals with the issues of legal regulation of production and processing of natural gas associated with new political and economic challenges. The authors conclude that further systematization of legislation in this area.

The issues of smoothing spatial differentiation are particularly relevant when it comes to the territories of the North and the Arctic, as they are an indispensable condition for curbing the processes of their degradation. Maintaining the population, improving transport accessibility, social security, increasing the competitiveness of business and entrepreneurship are among the top-priority strategic tasks, the development of solutions to which is given the closest attention today. Since the purpose of this study is to specify the ideas about the Arctic zone as an environment for doing business, the paper presents an analysis of the financial condition of enterprises in the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). As the main research method was chosen the economic and statistical analysis. The profit, which is a positive financial result, is an indicator of the success of a commercial organization. The financial result is important not only for the entrepreneurs, the economic activity of business structures has an impact on the level and quality of life in a particular territory. The study showed that entrepreneurial activity in the Arctic zone is carried out more out of necessity than for the commercial success, its contribution to the economy of the republic is insignificant. The main field of activity for most commercial enterprises and organizations is agriculture, enterprises are are low-profit, but in proportion the share of unprofitable organizations in most municipal districts, it is comparable to other territories of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The implementation of major infrastructure projects on the territory of the republic in the coming years can improve the business environment and have a positive impact on the development of entrepreneurial activity in the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) if the balance of interests of municipalities, on the one hand, and raw material corporations and natural monopolies, on the other, is maintained.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REASON, FAITH AND RELIGIOUS IDEAS
Authors: Bugiulescu Marin
Published: September 2023

The connection between reason, faith and religious ideas is a specific problem addressed by ancient philosophy centered on the structure of religion, mythology, history and the relations of the gods with the world, theogony. That is precisely why the Greek philosophers conceived the world as something self-evident, something belonging to the order of logically compelling evidence. They did not seek to see who its author is, or what His being and activity consist of. Philosophical theology, in fact, ancient philosophy rediscovered in the medieval period, strictly represents a power of reason directed towards the knowledge of divinity, towards the relationship with the gods
The Kids Aren't Alright

Published: September 2023

I first argue that forms of regulated parenting are presumptively justified whereas private parenting is not. Then, I argue that the reasons we have to believe that regulated parenting is justified give us reasons to believe that individuals who are objectionably intolerant—that is, they subscribe to prejudicial dogmas such as racism, sexism, and homophobia to such an extent that their ability to direct caring attitudes toward, for example, Black people, women, and/or gay people is significantly impaired—ought not to rear children. Finally, I argue that if these people ought not to rear children, we have special reason to institute a scheme of parental licensing to ensure they do not.
How to be Morally Responsible for Another’s Free Intentional Action
Authors: Blomberg Olle
Published: September 2023

Contrary to what many philosophers have claimed, I argue that an agent can be morally responsible for another agent’s intentional action. While some acknowledge that an agent can be responsible for the outcome that the other agent performs an action, I argue that the technical distinction between responsibility for actions and responsibility for outcomes lacks a point in the context of our practice of holding each other responsible for what we do. In other words, an agent can be morally responsible for another’s action in the relevantly same way as she is responsible for her own action. This means that socially mediated moral responsibility does not require that an agent has authorized another to act on her behalf.

This study aims to determine the application of Restorative justice in the form of a judge's pardon for the crime of theft committed by seniors over 70 years of age. The research carried out in this study is empirical juridical research, which is carried out directly in the field to find out the real problems that occur, and then it will be connected with the applicable laws and regulations and existing legal theories. The results of the study show that the application of a new Restorative justice in the form of a judge's apology to the perpetrators who are 70 years old because they are no longer productive is deemed ineffective if imprisoned and also that the country of Indonesia is a country that has eastern customs, which means that the culture of the Indonesian state is making a decision by deliberation to reach a consensus or in other words, Restorative justice provides an opportunity for the perpetrator to become a better person so that he can organize his future life for the better, rather than having to prioritize a retributive justice system that prioritizes the imposition of law on the physical perpetrator by confining him in in detention/prison.

 

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Penerapan Restorative justice Dalam Bentuk Permaafan Hakim Dalam Tindak Pidana Pencurian Yang Dilakukan Oleh Lansia Diatas 70 Tahun. Penelitian yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian Yuridis empiris yang dilakukan secara langsung di lapangan untuk mengetahui permasalahan yang sebenarnya terjadi, kemudian akan dihubungkan dengan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku dan teori hukum yang ada. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan baru sebuah Restorative justice dalam bentuk permaafan hakim kepada para pelaku yang berusia 70 tahun karena diusia yang sudah tidak produktif dirasa tidak efektive jika dimasukan di dalam penjara dan juga negara Indonesia merupakan negara yang memiliki adat ketimuran yang artinya budaya negara Indonesia adalah mengambil sebuah keputusan dengan musyawarat untuk mufakat atau dalam kata lain dari Restorative justice memberikan kesempatan kepada pelaku untuk menjadi sosok yang lebih baik agar dapat menata kehidupan kedepannya menjadi lebih baik,  dibandingkan harus mengedepankan system retributive justice yang lebih mengedepankan penjatuhan hukum terhadap fisik pelaku dengan mengurungnya di dalam tahanan/penjara.

The purpose of this research is to determine the legal consequences that can be borne by the giver of the name in the nominee agreement against defaulting paylater borrowers and the form of legal protection for the name giver in cases of default by paylater borrowers. The paylater payment method is a popular payment method in the community, but in its use abuse is often found, namely borrowing names, where borrowing names is done orally on the basis of trust which often results in default. This research uses normative legal research methods with the type of library research and uses statue approach and conceptual approach. The results of the study show that due to the insistence on norms, the legal consequences that arise are that the debtor or the party giving the name must be fully responsible if a default occurs by a third party, because the payment provider does not care who binds himself while the terms of the agreement are agreed, other than that the form Legal protection for lenders for the use of later payments is not specifically regulated in laws and regulations, while protection can be carried out, namely by holding amicable deliberations to ask for the fulfillment of obligations accompanied by compensation.

 

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui akibat hukum yang dapat ditanggung oleh pemberi nama dalam perjanjian pinjam nama terhadap peminjam paylater yang wanprestasi dan bentuk perlindungan hukum bagi pemberi nama dalam kasus wanprestasi oleh peminjam paylater. Metode pembayaran paylater menjadi metode pembayaran yang popular dimasyarakat, tetapi dalam penggunaanya kerap kali ditemukan penyalahgunaan yakni terjadi pinjam nama penggunaan paylater, yang mana pinjam nama ini dilakukan secara lisan atas dasar kepercayaan yang tidak jarang menimbulkan wanprestasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan serta menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa akibat hukum yang ditimbulkan adalah debitur atau pihak pemberi nama harus bertanggung jawab penuh jika terjadi wanprestasi oleh pihak ketiga, karena pihak penyedia paylater tidak peduli dengan siapa mengikatkan diri selagi syarat dalam perjanjian terpenuhi, selain itu bentuk perlindungan hukum bagi pemberi pinjam nama penggunaan paylater ini tidak secara khusus diatur dalam perundang-undangan, adapun perlindungan yang dapat dilakukan yakni dengan cara melakukan musyawarah secara kekeluargaan untuk meminta pemenuhan kewajiban disertai dengan ganti rugi.
Producción de Maíz: Evidencia de Sinaloa, México
Authors: Espinoza Nicolás Guadalupe Zúñiga
Published: September 2023

Finalidad: Los objetivos fueron explicar la evolución de la producción de maíz blanco para el periodo 2013-2022; conocer la cosecha que cada municipio aportó durante el año 2022; y estimar los efectos de la garantía y los precios de mercado sobre el valor de la producción a obtener para el año 2023.
 
Marco teórico: El maíz blanco, como producto agrícola, se utiliza para el consumo humano en México y también se exporta a otros países. Por lo tanto, es importante diseñar un programa de precios garantizados por parte del gobierno federal, el cual debe ser consciente de las presiones que enfrentan los agricultores para vender su producción y rentabilizar su inversión. La literatura indica que en las comunidades rurales necesitan seguir sembrando maíz blanco para que la gente tenga empleo e ingresos (Dat, 2023; Carbaugh, 2009).
 
Diseño/Metodología/Enfoque: El estudio se abordó con métodos cualitativos y se utilizaron instrumentos descriptivos, bibliográficos y de análisis documental. La recolección de datos se realizó a través del Ministerio de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural.
 
Resultados:   El trabajo contribuye a conocer que el precio de garantía diseñado por SEGALMEX y el Gobierno del Estado de Sinaloa incrementó el valor de la producción y benefició a quienes ingresaron a dicho programa; mientras que la caída del precio de mercado redujo el valor de la producción, afectando a los agricultores que vendieron bajo ese último precio.
 
Investigación, Implicaciones Prácticas y Sociales: Al analizar el impacto de los precios de garantía y de mercado sobre el valor de la producción de maíz blanco, da cuenta de los beneficios o pérdidas para los productores agrícolas.
 
Originalidad/Valor: Esta investigación examina las limitaciones encontradas por el mal diseño de la selección de productores de maíz blanco de hasta 50 hectáreas para pagar precios de garantía y excluye a aquellos que siembran por encima de esa superficie que tuvieron que vender a precios de mercado.

Authors: Hermes Lisiane Caroline Rodrigues , Sausen Jorge Oneide , Cappellari Gabriela
Published: September 2023

Objetivo: Este artigo propõe-se a investigar práticas de governança corporativa adotadas por uma escola pública estadual de ensino médio que potencializam conflitos de agência.

 

Referencial teórico: O arcabouço teórico deste estudo está centrado no clássico estudo de Jensen e Meckling sobre governança corporativa, e os conflitos de agência.

 

Desenho/Metodologia/Abordagem: Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva e documental, com abordagem qualitativa dos dados. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário estruturado. A Escola Alfa pesquisada está localizada no interior do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, e está sob jurisdição do Governo do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul.

 

Resultados: Como principal resultado, vindo de encontro com os preceitos da governança corporativa, pode-se constatar que a partir do aumento da burocracia, dos controles, e das normativas, potencializaram-se os conflitos na Escola Alfa. Conflito entre Escola e Governo, diferentes interesses para aplicação de recursos e processo pedagógico não convergente com os preceitos do Governo.

 

Implicações da pesquisa, Práticas sociais: Como proposição para estudos futuros, sugere-se uma pesquisa que englobe todos os membros da cadeia educacional, ou seja, Governo, Coordenadoria e Escola, de maneira a aprofundar quais são os conflitos existentes em cada órgão, para que se possam aplicar práticas de governança corporativa que os minimizem. Além disso, realizar estudos comparativos entre as escolas públicas pertencentes à mesma coordenadoria ou não. E, realizar estudos quantitativos mensurando as possíveis implicações do custo destes conflitos.

 

Originalidade/Valor: O trabalho aponta para algumas contribuições dentre elas a discussão de aspectos ligados à governança corporativa no setor público, em especial uma organização de ensino estadual.

Bu çalışmanın amacı otel işletmelerinde örgütsel destek algısının, istismarcı yönetim ve işe yabancılaşma ilişkisindeki düzenleyici rolünün tespit edilmesidir. Bu kapsamda Bodrum ilinde 5 yıldızlı olarak faaliyet gösteren otel işletmelerinde çalışan 350 çalışandan anket yöntemi ile veri toplanmıştır. Anket, otel işletmelerindeki çalışanların algılanan örgütsel destek, istismarcı yönetim ve işe yabancılaşma düzeylerini tespit etmeye yönelik ölçekleri içermektedir. Bu değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin tespit edilmesi için bir istatistiksel paket programı aracılığıyla regresyon analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen analiz doğrultusunda algılanan örgütsel destek ile istismarcı yönetimin işe yabancılaşma üzerinde düzenleyici bir rol oynadığı tespit edilmiştir. Daha belirgin bir düzeyde algılanan örgütsel desteğin, istismarcı yönetimin işe yabancılaşma üzerindeki etkisini azalttığı ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Bu çalışma özellikle 5 yıldızlı otellerde çalışanların örgütsel destek algısını arttırmak ve işe yabancılaşmayı azaltmak için istismarcıyönetimin ortadan kaldırılmasına yönelik destekleyici politika veuygulamaların hayata geçirilmesinin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Bu şekilde kurumlar daha sağlıklı bir çalışma ortamı oluşturarak çalışanların refahını ve iş memnuniyetini artırabilirler.
