Published: June 2024

The EndSARS protests in Nigeria brought to the forefront issues of police brutality and human rights abuses, prompting calls for government action. This study aimed to assess the level of government commitment in addressing human rights abuses, particularly police brutality, post-EndSARS. The main objective was to ascertain the level of government commitment in addressing human rights abuses, with specific objectives including assessing the effect of government policies post-EndSARS, examining the correlation between law-enforcement changes and institutional reforms, analyzing government commitments post-EndSARS in relation to substantive reforms, and investigating the link between government actions on police brutality and citizen perceptions of responsiveness. The study utilized a survey method, incorporating both primary and secondary sources of data. Primary data were collected through questionnaires utilizing a 4-point Likert scale, with a sample size of 381 respondents in Owerri, Imo state. Descriptive statistics, particularly means and standard deviation, were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed varying perceptions regarding the effectiveness of government policies post-EndSARS in addressing police brutality and safeguarding human rights in Nigeria. While some acknowledged positive progress, skepticism remained about the overall effectiveness of these policies. Law-enforcement changes post-EndSARS did not lead to increased transparency and accountability, nor did they align with international standards. Government commitments post-EndSARS were met with skepticism, indicating a need for more decisive action and communication. Moreover, there was no significant consensus regarding the link between government actions on police brutality and citizen perceptions of responsiveness. Based on the findings, recommendations include strengthening mechanisms for implementing and monitoring government policies, prioritizing institutional reforms within law ...

Purpose: To study the clinical and epidemiological aspects of benign prostatic hypertrophy at the Koutiala reference health center. Patient methods: This is a prospective study from April 2016 to April 2017, 13 months in total. All patients in whom the clinical examination and ultrasound made the diagnosis of prostate adenoma and in whom the diagnosis was confirmed at surgery were included in this study. Results: The frequency of benign prostatic hypertrophy was 23.81%; it occupied first place among surgical uropathies with 54.94% and took second place among all surgical pathologies with 29.6% of cases. The average age of our patients was 71 years. The age group 61 – 75 was the most affected with a frequency of 59%. Acute retention of urine comes first among the reasons for consultations with a rate of 58%. Ultrasound has been the reference examination for the diagnosis of this pathology. It was performed in all our patients. The surgical pathologies most associated with prostate adenoma were inguinal hernia, 6 cases (6%). The treatment was surgical in 100% of the series, via the transvesical route using the Freyer Hryntchak technique. The pathological examination of the surgical specimens detected one case of prostate adenocarcinoma,1%. Post-operative outcomes were simple in the majority of cases,86%. 70% of patients had a hospital stay of 5 days, the average was 8 days with extremes of 4 and 33 days. The mortality rate was 4.17%. Conclusion: Upper prostatic adenomectomy remains the main technique for surgical management of BPH in Mali and in our center in particular with low postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Exostoses são crescimentos ósseos que aparecem em diferentes regiões da cavidade oral. Uma das variações encontradas no palato duro e na mandíbula são os tórus palatinos e mandibulares. O tórus palatino desenvolve-se na linha mediana do palato duro e o tórus mandibular se localiza na superfície lingual do corpo da mandíbula na região de caninos e prémolares, podendo se apresentar unilateral ou bilateral, únicos ou múltiplos. Ambos podem alterar a fonação e a confecção de próteses. Sua prevalência oscila entre 0,4% à 66,5% para tórus palatino e 0,5% a 63,4% para o tórus mandibular. O objetivo do nosso estudo é verificar a prevalência destas estruturas em uma Coleção Osteológica da Região Nordeste do Brasil. Para o nosso estudo foram utilizados 474 crânios secos de adultos, sendo 193 do sexo feminino e 281 do sexo masculino. Além dos crânios utilizamos 479 mandíbulas secas de adultos, sendo 198 do sexo feminino e 281 do sexo masculino. O tórus palatino foi observado em 8,65% dos casos, sendo mais frequente no sexo feminino, já o tórus mandibular apareceu em 6,89% dos casos, sendo mais frequente no sexo masculino. Diante do exposto, faz-se necessário a realização de mais estudos em nossa população, devido à grande área territorial do Brasil e a grande miscigenação existente.

A força de trabalho como forma de ser: protoforma da individualidade do Capital em Marx
Authors: Alves Antônio José Lopes
Published: June 2024

No presente artigo se apresenta uma análise do conceito marxiano de força de trabalho como uma categoria, um referente ideal geral de natureza teórica, cuja elaboração por Marx potencialmente faculta o rastreamento de traços essenciais para a compreensão crítica do caráter particular assumido pela individualidade nos contornos das formas de sociabilidade do capital. Nesse sentido, a discussão dos textos marxianos, bem como de obras de outros autores que abordam o tema ou questões conexas a este, tem como objetivo enumerar analiticamente, de modo indiciário, as determinações que fazem da força de trabalho livre individual existente como mercadoria do capital uma verdadeira protoforma ou “paradigma” da individuação a partir da modernidade. Para tanto serão tratados quatro conjuntos conceituais, vetores da trajetória desse tipo histórico de elaboração social da individualidade, conforme pode se depreender do estudo das obras de Marx aqui abordadas: 1) a força de trabalho como Daseinsform do capital e força de sua produção; 2) o modo particular de alienação da força de trabalho (Veräußerung); 3) o caráter complexo do “objeto” do qual o capital se apropria; e 4) a relação que o indivíduo tem consigo mesmo como proprietário privado de força de trabalho.

Estado e Direito em Marx: uma análise dos escritos da Gazeta Renana
Authors: Pereira Neto Murilo Leite
Published: June 2024

Este artigo apresenta uma análise acerca do Estado e do direito nos escritos jornalísticos de Marx dos tempos da Gazeta Renana. Procuramos mostrar, a partir da leitura imanente, que Marx, como redator do citado periódico, desenvolveu uma crítica ao Estado e ao direito então existentes na Alemanha do Vormärz, contudo manteve uma posição de defesa frente ao Estado e ao direito que, segundo ele, minimamente correspondem ao seu conceito. A exposição precisa dos termos da defesa do Estado e do direito na Gazeta Renana envolveu apreender a posição de Marx frente aos seguintes pares: Estado estamental/Estado moderno, direito animal/direito humano, privilégio/direito, religião/política, teologia/ filosofia, bem como a relação do direito racional com a lei positiva, com a liberdade e com a igualdade. Ao final, analisamos a defesa de Marx da codificação, vistas pelo autor alemão como reconhecimento legal da liberdade.

Forma de aparecimento que torna invisível a relação efetiva e mostra precisamente o oposto dessa relação: Marx diante do salário e a crítica marxiana ao direito
Authors: Prates João Lucas Sales
Published: June 2024

Neste artigo, a partir daquilo que José Chasin chama de análise imanente, procuraremos expor a crítica marxiana à categoria salário tendo como ponto de partida o Livro I de O Capital. Entende-se que o pensador alemão em sua crítica da economia política considera o salário – que na superfície da sociedade civil-burguesa aparece como valor ou preço do trabalho – uma forma de aparecimento invertida e irracional para o valor da força de trabalho, na qual todo trabalho aparece como trabalho pago. Tendo em conta que no estatuto marxiano as categorias são formas de ser [Daseinformem], demonstrar-se-á que a expressão preço do trabalho, com seu caráter irracional, é efetiva, ou seja, uma categoria dada não somente nas cabeças dos indivíduos, mas expressão de uma contradição que existe, dotada de objetividade e movimento no real. Por fim, analisa-se a relação entre o direito e o salário tendo em vista a crítica marxiana ao direito. Procurar-se-á dar sentido à assertiva marxiana segundo a qual a consciência jurídica reconhece apenas uma diferença material no intercâmbio entre capital e trabalho, o que a leva a aceitar a irracionalidade da expressão preço do trabalho, que ao mesmo tempo é a base para as “tolices apologéticas” da economia vulgar e para as “representações jurídicas” [Rechtsvorstellungen] de trabalhador e capitalista.

A STUDY ON MEASURING THE IMPACT OF SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES ON THE SOLVENCY POSITION OF SELECTED INDIAN COMPANIES
Authors: Saurabhkumar H Jain  , Dr. Vipul Chovatiya
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the impact of sustainability reporting on the solvency positions of selected Indian companies. For this analysing eleven years of data from ten firms, the research assesses whether comprehensive sustainability disclosures correlate with improved solvency indicators, measured by debt-equity ratios. The findings indicate that companies like Infosys and ITC consistently improved their sustainability scores while maintaining low debt-equity ratios, reflecting strong financial health. Conversely, firms such as Tech Mahindra and JSW displayed greater variability in both sustainability scores and financial leverage. Regression analysis reveals a marginally significant negative relationship between sustainability scores and debt-equity ratios, though the model explains only a small portion of the variance, suggesting the influence of other unobserved factors. These results highlight the importance of sustainability reporting for corporate accountability and stakeholder trust, while also suggesting that its direct impact on financial solvency is influenced by broader financial and industry-specific conditions.

Published: June 2024

Labour productivity was an important factor in the success of a company. A company’s output was as much dependent on labour productivity as it was on capital productivity. The study sought to examine the influence of quality circles on labour productivity in the judicial service in Nyeri County. The study adopted the descriptive design. The target population comprised 43 Magistrates, 93 Court Administrators, and 145 Lawyers (members of the Nyeri Law Society). Using 30% representation, a sample size of 13 Magistrates, 21 court administrators, and 44 Lawyers (members of the Nyeri Law Society) was utilized. The study used cluster random sampling to select 8 clusters, stratified sampling to identify the sample within each cluster, and simple random sampling to choose respondents from each stratum. It collected quantitative and qualitative data using questionnaires and interviews, then used statistical analysis to organize, summarize, and present the data. Quantitative data was analyzed with descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviation) and presented in tables, graphs, and charts. The study demonstrates there is a very strong positive correlation between labour productivity in courts and quality circles, with a coefficient of 0.875 and a significance level of 0.000. This means that courts that implement quality circles tend to have higher levels of labour productivity The regression analysis shows that technology use significantly enhances productivity, with a one-unit increase resulting in a 0.265 standard deviation rise (Beta = 0.265, p = .026). The study recommended that the judicial service should improve the technology infrastructure to boost productivity and performance in the legal sector.

Dialek Hulu Kedah: Satu Pengelompokan Baharu
Authors: Abdul Ghani Mohammad Khairulanwar , Hasrah Mohd Tarmizi , Alimi Khairul Faiz
Published: June 2024

Makalah ini membincangkan dialek Melayu yang dituturkan di Baling, Kedah, Malaysia. Dialek di kawasan ini dipersepsikan oleh penutur lokal sebagai unik dan berbeza berbanding dengan dialek Melayu Kedah yang piawai. Oleh sebab wujud persepsi yang sedemikian, beberapa siri kunjungan lapangan dilakukan ke kawasan Baling bagi mengumpulkan data dialek. Tujuannya adalah untuk menjawab dua pertanyaan asas dalam dialektologi diakronik, iaitu: (i) apakah ciri fonologi dialek di Baling yang menjadikannya berbeza daripada dialek Melayu Kedah yang piawai dan dialek Melayu lain?, dan (ii) apakah hubungan dialek Melayu di Baling dengan dialek yang dibandingkan itu? Bagi menjawab pertanyaan ini, pengkaji menggunakan kaedah temu bual dengan memanfaatkan sebanyak 643 item leksikal dalam daftar kata, termasuklah rakaman perbualan. Data yang telah dipungut itu kemudiannya dianalisis menggunakan kerangka dialektologi diakronik yang memfokuskan pemerian inovasi bersama dan pengekalan, serta perbandingan antara dialek. Pemerian inovasi bersama dan pengekalan dalam aspek fonologi adalah bagi tujuan pengelompokan. Beberapa inovasi dan pengekalan fonologi membuktikan dua perkara. Pertama, dialek Melayu di Baling terpisah daripada cabang dialek Melayu Semenanjung Utara. Dengan erti kata lain, dialek tersebut bukan subdialek bagi dialek Kedah piawai. Kedua, oleh sebab dialek Melayu di Baling terpisah daripada induknya yang sering diuar-uarkan selama ini dan berkongsi persamaan dengan dialek Melayu lain yang terdapat di sekitarnya, dialek tersebut membentuk cabangnya yang tersendiri. Cabang yang dimaksudkan ini dikenali sebagai cabang dialek Melayu Hulu Semenanjung Utara. Cabang ini terdiri daripada dialek yang dituturkan oleh masyarakat yang tinggal di kawasan Hulu Kedah yang merangkumi Baling, Sik, Kuala Nerang, Padang Terap dan Hulu Perak Utara. Selain linguistik, hubungan akrab dialek dalam cabang ini juga turut diperkukuh dengan bukti sejarah dan sosiologi. Implikasi penemuan makalah ini yang terpenting ialah kewujudan cabang baharu dalam dialek Melayu Semenanjung Utara yang perlu diangkat dalam pengelompokan dialek Melayu Semenanjung secara umum.

Published: June 2024

This research investigates the development and evaluation of a novel composite material composed of AZ31 magnesium alloy and eggshell powder, designed for use in surgical bone implants. The primary objective is to enhance the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of AZ31 by incorporating eggshell powder, which is known for its hardness and strength. The composite is fabricated using the stir casting technique, where the molten magnesium is mixed with finely ground eggshell powder to achieve uniform dispersion. The resulting samples are subjected to rigorous mechanical testing, including tensile and compressive strength evaluations, as well as hardness measurements. Additionally, the internal structure and particle distribution of the composite are analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the material properties and structural characteristics of the composite, with a focus on its potential applications in orthopedic load-bearing implants and fixation devices, such as bone plates, joint replacements, screws, rods, dental implants, and cardiac stents. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of improved biomaterials for medical applications, leveraging the unique benefits of both magnesium alloy and eggshell powder.
Luteolin Inhibits Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammation and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition in Human Nasal Epithelial Cells
Authors: Qin Yang , Shen Nimei , Gao Gang
Published: June 2024

Chronic sinusitis is a persistent inflammatory condition needing better treatment options with fewer side effects to reduce recurrence. Luteolin, a flavonoid found in various plants, exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. This study explores luteolin’s impact on chronic sinusitis. We isolated human nasal epithelial cells from sinusitis patients and used lipopolysaccharide-induced cells as a model. High-mobility group box 1 protein was notably elevated in these patients. Our findings suggest that luteolin can suppress the expression of inflammatory cytokines induced by lipopolysaccharide in these cells. Additionally, luteolin was able to inhibit the epithelial–mesenchymal transition in the treated cells. This inhibitory effect on high-mobility group box 1 expression led to reduced inflammation and transition processes. Overall, luteolin could potentially be an effective treatment for chronic sinusitis, minimizing inflammation and cellular transition in nasal epithelial cells.
Glycyrrhizin Impairs the Progression and Metastasis of Cervical Cancer Through the Protein Kinase B/Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway
Authors: Shao Yuping , Gu Siyi , Wei Wengong
Published: June 2024

The present study assessed the impact of glycyrrhizin on the mechanisms of progression and metastasis in cervical cancer cells. To this end, cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and protein/mRNA expression levels of protein kinase B, glycogen synthase kinase-3 β and β-catenin were measured in three groups of cells: normal cervical epithelial cell line End1/E6E7 (Group A), human cervical squamous cell carcinoma cell line C33a (group B), and human cervical squamous cell carcinoma cell line C33a treated with 50μmol/L glycyrrhizin (Group C). Results showed that glycyrrhizin treatment decreased the proliferation, migration, and invasion of C33a cells and increased apoptosis compared to the cervical cancer control cells. Expression levels of proteins associated with apoptosis such as FS-7-associated surface antigen, Bcl-2-associated X protein and Fas ligand were higher, while protein kinase B pathway activity was attenuated in the glycyrrhizin-treated group compared to the cervical cancer control group. These results suggest that glycyrrhizin may impair cervical cancer cell viability and impede their progression and metastasis by modulating the protein kinase B/glycogen synthase kinase-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is known as a non-communicable disease (NCD) that affects more and more individuals. MetS is closely related to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease (CVD), obesity and inflammation. It is associated with T2DM due to the disturbance in insulin secretion/effect, eventually leading to insulin resistance (IR). The link between MetS and CVD is due to accelerated atherosclerosis in response to chronic inflammation. This literature review was based on a search in the PubMed database. All selected articles are written in English and cover a period of approximately 10 years (January 2014 to May 2023). The first selection used MeSH terms such as: “metabolic syndrome”, “type 2 diabetes mellitus”, “obesity”, “inflammation”, and “insulin resistance” and different associations between them. Titles and abstracts were analyzed. In the end, 44 articles were selected, 4 of which were meta-analysis studies. Currently, an individual is considered to have MetS if they present 3 of the following changes: increased waist circumference, increased triglycerides (TG), reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), increased fasting blood glucose and hypertension. We believe this can often lead to a false diagnosis. The objective of this paper is to compile what we consider to be an appropriate panel of MetS indicators. The markers that stand out in this review are the lipid profile, anti- and pro-inflammatory function and oxidative stress. Considering the research, we believe that a complete panel, to correlate the most characteristic conditions of MetS, should include the following markers: TG/HDL-C ratio, small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (SdLDL-C), lipid peroxidation markers, leptin/adiponectin ratio, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), activin-A and ferritin levels. Finally, it is important to expand research on the pathophysiology of MetS and confirm the most appropriate markers as well as discover new ones to correctly diagnose this condition.

Aim: Severe dengue is correlated with a decrease in the circulating complement regulator, factor H (FH) and prior work has shown that dengue virus (DENV) infection induces FH mRNA but not FH protein release. Here, the mechanisms of this phenomenon were defined.
Methods: HEK293 cells were infected with DENV-2 and changes in FH mRNA and protein were analyzed by real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and fluorescent microscopy. Additionally, cells were stimulated with size fractionated supernatants from DENV-infected cells, supernatant containing DENV non-structural protein-1 (NS1) without virus particles, and infections performed with or without the toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) antagonist, TAK-242. Mass spectrometry was used to define the protein content of the fractionated supernatant, and treatment of cells with sialidase or heparinase was used to define cell-associated FH protein.
Results: DENV-infection induced full-length FH mRNA and cell-associated FH protein. Microscopy demonstrated membrane and intracellular-associated FH with a cytoskeletal and perinuclear localisation, in both DENV positive and uninfected neighboring bystander cells. Fractionation of cultured supernatant from DENV-infected cells demonstrated that secreted factors > 50 (kilodaltons) kDa induced FH mRNA and this could be blocked with TAK-242 but was not simulated by the TLR4 agonist, DENV NS1. Mass spectrometry detected DENV envelope, membrane and NS1, complement component 5 (C5), and complement FB, and indicated a > 20-fold increase in C4, inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H2 (ITIH2), and alpha-2-macroglobulin in the > 50 kDa fraction from DENV-infected compared with conditioned media from uninfected cells. Sialic acid levels were unchanged and cleavage did not affect release of FH from DENV-infected compared to uninfected cells. In contrast, sulphated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) were reduced in the cultured supernatant and cell lysates following DENV-infection, and heparinase cleavage released significantly more FH from DENV-compared with uninfected cells.
Conclusions: Following DENV-infection, secreted molecules induce FH that remains intracellular and with increased binding to cell surface heparan sulphate. The mediators of induction of FH mRNA act in trans and via TLR4 but this is not likely to be via DENV NS1. The retention of FH in the local environment of the infected cell could benefit the virus by negating local complement killing of cells, and/or benefit the host by inhibition of heparan sulphate-mediated DENV infection to restrict viral spread.

Burnout has harmed students. Recent ventures, such as counseling, have yet to provide significant benefits. Furthermore, there is a tendency for college students to self-diagnose. However, self-diagnosis often leads to misdiagnosis and mishandling, triggering more severe health problems. This study aims to know if Jiva can be used as burnout early detection and mindfulness therapy for college students to prevent self-diagnosis in the quarter-life crisis era.
The research was conducted at Marcopolo Bali International from October-December 2022. Population of this study was eight respondents for the small group trial and 80 respondents for the large group trial. The research method used is Research & Development with ADDIE research design. Qualitative and quantitative data will be analyzed descriptively. Jiva app is software that integrates Burnout Early Detection and Body Scan Meditation. The creation of the application will help find burnout as early as possible and treat student burnout. The results of the material validation test showed that the application was included to excellent category with the score of 4.75 (95%).
The results of the media validation test showed that the application was included to excellent category with the score of 4.32 (86%). Furthermore, the small group trial pointed to the application belonging to good category with the score of 3.95 (79%). The large group trial pointed to good category with the score of 3.9 (78%). Thus, Jiva can be used as burnout early detection and mindfulness therapy for college students to prevent self-diagnosis in the quarter-life crisis era.

Background: Acute Respiratory Infection (ISPA)  is one of the main causes of death, killing ± 4 million children under five every year. Banyak Island showed an increase in ISPA cases from 8.5% in 2017, increasing to 10.4% in 2018, and in 2019 it increased to 16.4% of toddlers experiencing ISPA. The research aims to determine the relationship between home environmental conditions and the incidence of acute respiratory infections in children under five in the Pulau Banyak Health Center Working Area, Aceh Singkil Regency. Method: This research is descriptive analytical with a case-control design. Data collection was carried out by interviews using questionnaires. The population in this study was 60 toddlers and the sample was determined using a total sampling technique, namely 60 toddlers. This research was conducted on 02 -16 November 2020. The statistical test used was the Chi Square Test (α=95%). Results: The results of univariate research showed that toddlers who experienced Acute Respiratory Infection (ISPA) (50%), ventilation did not meet the requirements (81.5%), overcrowding (82.1%), and smoking habits (80.8%). The results of bivariate statistical tests obtained ventilation (p value=0.001, OR=13.7), occupant density (p value=0.002, OR=16.4), and smoking habits (p value=0.001, OR=11.7) with the incidence of Acute Respiratory Infection in toddlers in the Pulau Banyak Health Center Working Area, Aceh Singkil Regency. The results of this research show a relationship between ventilation, occupant density, and smoking habits with the incidence of Acute Respiratory Infection in toddlers in the Pulau Banyak Health Center Working Area, Aceh Singkil Regency. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Pulau Banyak Community Health Center can improve the early alert system for ISPA incidents by increasing mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior regarding the importance of healthy physical sanitation at home.
