Authors: Agbara Rowland , Fomete Benjamin , Omeje Kelvin Uchenna
Published: July 2022

Background:

Epidemiological studies despite their limitations provide information that is useful for the formulation of effective and efficient injury prevention strategies.

Aim:

The aim is to carry out epidemiology study of mandibular fracture in a Nigerian population.

Setting:

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika-Zaria, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

A retrospective observational study was carried out at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika-Zaria. Data retrieved from patients’ case notes and operating records were subjected to statistical analysis involving frequencies (count, percent), measures of central tendency (mean), and measures of dispersion (standard deviation) using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). Mandibular fracture was classified based on sites, and patients’ socioeconomic status was classified based on United Kingdom National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SEC, 2010).

Results:

There were 466 (89.9%) males and 53 (10.1%) females. Based on Socio-economic Classification (NS-SEC, 2010), there was a preponderance of analytical class 6 (n = 217; 54.9%) and 8 (n = 127; 32.2%). Road traffic–related accident (n = 385; 74.2%) was the most common aetiological factor, and a total of 215 (41.4%) patients had a record of loss of consciousness. The mandibular body (n = 225; 32.0%) followed by the parasymphyseal (n = 187; 26.6%) regions were the most fractured sites. Closed-reduction technique was the predominant treatment modality.

Conclusions:

A road traffic accident was the most common aetiological factor for mandibular fracture, and the mandibular body had the highest frequency of fractures. Measures aimed at injury prevention should be continually reviewed and updated to limit the morbidity and economic burden on individuals.

Published: July 2022

Aim:

There is a dearth of knowledge on the burden of family caregivers of patients with maxillofacial tumours in Nigeria. This burden may be influenced by racial peculiarities and the disease entity of the patient. The aim of this study is to assess and document the burdens and predictors of burdens experienced by family caregivers of patients with oral maxillofacial tumours presenting at a tertiary health facility in South Western Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

A descriptive cross-sectional study that included 110 consenting family caregivers of patients diagnosed with oral and maxillofacial tumours. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information on their sociodemographic characteristics and caregiving burden using the Zarit burden interview tool. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21.0.

Result:

The most frequent group of caregivers was patients’ children (32.0%), aged 30–39 years (28.2%), females (54.5%), with secondary education (41.8%), and traders (38.2%), who earned less than national minimum wage (55.5%). Majority (42.7%) experienced mild-to-moderate burden; coping strategy was mainly prayers (76.4%), while the greatest need expressed was financial assistance (93.6%). The significant predictors of caregiver burden were the presence of pain (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.961; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.165–7.526; P = 0.023) and severe clinical condition (AOR = 3.342; 95% CI = 1.133–9.853; P = 0.029).

Conclusion:

The most common category of the burden of family caregivers of patients with maxillofacial tumours was the mild-to-moderate category, and the most significant predictors were the presence of pain and severity of clinical condition. The greatest need expressed was financial assistance. Therefore, an emphasis on adequate pain control and alternate sources of funding may appreciably relieve the burden of family caregivers of patients with maxillofacial tumours.

Ovarian endometrioma is quite common among women of reproductive age but rarely exceed 6 cm in diameter. Ovarian endometrioma exceeding 10 cm in dimension, often referred to as giant endometrioma, is rare and can pose a diagnostic dilemma to clinicians. We present a 33-year-old single nullipara referred to our facility with a 3-year history of recurrent abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, and difficulty in breathing. The challenges in making diagnosis of a huge ovarian endometrioma are highlighted and the literature on huge ovarian endometrioma reviewed.
A completely patent omphalomesenteric duct causing recurrent intestinal obstruction in a Nigerian adult
Authors: Daniyan Muhammad , Mai Ahmad , Abur Peter Pase , Ukwubile Linus
Published: July 2022

Mechanical small bowel obstruction is perhaps the most important pathology of the small bowel encountered in surgical practice. The most common etiologies are postoperative adhesions and external hernias. Congenital anomalies like patent omphalomesenteric duct (OMD) hardly make the list among adult patients. Although patent OMD remnants are a rare cause of small bowel obstruction among adults, they should be considered in the list of differentials, especially in the setting of no previous abdominal surgery or external hernia, and deliberately looked for. A high index of suspicion remains the key in the identification and appropriate management of such a rare disease entity. We present the case of a young Nigerian adult with recurrent intestinal obstruction from a completely patent OMD.

Authors: Archibong Omamuyovwi Rosetta , Abikoye Folake Olusola , Osisanya Taiwo Olusola
Published: July 2022

Background:

The breast is an important aesthetic feature in a woman. It defines her body shape and is a measure of beauty and attraction. Anthropometric breast measurements done in different countries have shown anatomic variations, but there have been very few studies in the Nigerian females to aid the planning of aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgeries and serves as a guide in designing breast accessories and clothing.

Objectives:

The study measured anthropometric breast parameters in Nigerian females, assessed the degree of symmetry in volume of the right and left breasts and compared the measurements in females from the six geo-political zones in Nigeria and with values from women from other countries.

Materials and Methods:

This was a prospective descriptive analytical study of three hundred and seventy (370) female students chosen randomly from three higher institutions of learning in Yaba Local Council Development Area (LCDA) Lagos State Nigeria between ages 18 and 32 years. Fourteen parameters were measured using a measuring tape and long ruler.

Results:

The right sternal notch nipple length (RSNL), left sternal notch nipple length (LSNL), and the nipple nipple length (NNL) was found to be 21.88 cm, 22.31 cm and 21.70 cm, respectively. The mean mammary volume for the right and left breast were 395.78 mL and 437.65 mL, respectively. There was no significant difference in the parameters across the six geopolitical zones.

Conclusions:

There was no statistically significant difference in the anthropometric parameters measured across the six geopolitical zones. The anthropometric values of the left breast were significantly larger.

Published: July 2022

Background:

Surgical treatment of haemorrhoidal disease by laser haemorrhoidoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that facilitates the postoperative course. Due to less aggression on the anoderm and the anal canal mucosa, it causes less significant postoperative pain and low morbidity compared with conventional excision according to the Milligan–Morgan or Fergusson procedure. We report, through a preliminary study, our data on laser haemorrhoidoplasty and discuss the indications and results.

Materials and Methods:

This is a descriptive prospective study carried out on 21 patients operated on for haemorrhoidal disease by laser haemorrhoidoplasty with or without mucopexy.

Results:

The series was composed of 17 men and 4 women with a male/female ratio of 4.25:1. The average age was 39.6 years with a range of 27–62 years. The symptomatology was rectal bleeding in 16 cases (76%) and anal swelling in 18 cases (85.7%). These include grade 2 haemorrhoids in 2 cases (9.5%), grade 3 in 12 cases (57%), and grade 4 in 7 cases (33%). It was associated with an anal fissure in four cases (19%) and an anal fistula in three cases (14.2%). Mucopexy and laser coagulation were performed therapeutically in 13 cases (61.9%) and laser coagulation without mucopexy was performed in 8 cases (38%). The energy delivered was on average 1488 or 496 J per pile. It was associated with skin tag excision in 18 cases (85.7%), fissurectomy, sphincterotomy, anoplasty in 4 cases (19.2%), and fistulectomy for low anal fistula in 2 cases (9.5%). Piles retraction was judged sufficient in 17 patients (81%). The postoperative course was simple with no notable complaints in 16 patients (76%). Complications consisted of minimal bleeding in six cases (28%), significant bleeding in two cases with readmission, residual skin tag in six cases (28.5%), and subcutaneous fistula in two cases (9.5%). No recurrence of the symptoms of the haemorrhoidal disease was noted.

Conclusion:

Laser haemorrhoidoplasty is a minimally invasive alternative for the treatment of haemorrhoidal disease, especially for grade 2 and 3 haemorrhoids without major prolapse. Postoperative pain is minimal, and the risk of stenosis or incontinence is almost non-existent.

Authors: Du Lei , Amer Ramy
Published: July 2022

INTRODUCTION: Pathological obesity seriously endangers human health. OBJECTIVES: A multi index evaluation method of pathological weight loss effect of aerobic exercise based on telemedicine monitoring is proposed to evaluate the pathological weight loss effect of aerobic exercise by using telemedicine monitoring system. METHODS: According to the indexes of aerobic exercise affecting weight loss effect, a multi index evaluation system of pathological weight loss effect of aerobic exercise was established. The medical sensor of the telemedicine monitoring system is used to collect the index data in the multi index evaluation system of pathological obese personnel. The medical sensor uses the wireless node to transmit the collected data to the remote monitoring center. The evaluation module of the remote monitoring center uses the collected data and selects the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to evaluate the pathological weight loss effect of aerobic exercise. RESULTS: The experimental results show that this method can effectively use the telemedicine monitoring system to collect the physiological parameters of pathological obese people, and use the parameter collection results to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise on pathological weight loss. CONCLUSION: The proposed methods can provide basis for human aerobic exercise pathological weight loss.
Infrastructure Enablers and Automated Vehicles: Trucking
Authors:   Innovation4Mobility, Coyner Kelley , Bittner Jason ,   Applied Research Associated, Inc
Published: July 2022

While automated trucking developers have established regular commercial shipments, operations and testing remain limited largely to limited-access highways like interstates. This infrastructure provides a platform or operating environment that is highly structured, with generally good road conditions and visible lane markings. To date, these deployments have not included routine movements from hub to hub, whether on or off these limited-access facilities. Benefits such as safety, fuel efficiency, staffing for long-haul trips, and a strengthened supply chain turn enable broader deployment which can enable movement from one transportation system to another. Infrastructure Enablers and Automated Vehicles: Trucking focuses on unresolved issues between the automated vehicle industry and infrastructure owners and operators that stand in the way of using infrastructure—both physical and digital—to extend use cases for automated trucking to more operational design domains (ODDs). The report also examines opportunities and recommendations related the integration of automated trucking across transportation networks and the supply chain. The topics include road conditions and lane marking visibility, work zone navigation, transfer hubs, and facility design, as well as connected and electric charging infrastructure.

Published: July 2022

Background: Pharmaceutical care (PC) is a professional responsibility of a pharmacist that involves medication management with the overall goal of improving the quality of life of patient.Objectives: To evaluate the attitude, practice, and barriers to PC among community pharmacists in Ibadan.Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among community pharmacists between May and July 2021, with the aid of a self-administered questionnaires, information on socio-demographic characteristics, practice, attitudes, and barriers to PC was obtained. A consecutive sampling technique was used for participants’ enrolment. Participating pharmacists must have had a minimum of one-year practice experience in a community pharmacy. Pharmacy students, interns, non-pharmacist attendants, and community pharmacists who were absent from their pharmacies during the study were excluded. Data were summarized with descriptive statistics.Results: Over 12 weeks, 120 survey were collected (90.9% response rate). About (115; 95.8%) of respondents had good practice of PC and reported that pharmaceutical care is a timely innovation to pharmacy practice. However, only (62; 52.0%) had positive attitude and (117; 97.5%) believed more pharmaceutical care could be provided. Regarding their practice, most respondents (118; 98.3%) stated pharmaceutical care involves monitoring improvement in patient response to treatment and adherence to treatment regime and counselling patients with drug therapy problems. The top detected barriers for PC provision included insufficient time (71; 59.2%), and inadequate collaboration with other healthcare professionals (56; 46.7%).Conclusion: Community pharmacists in Ibadan demonstrated good practice and positive attitudes towards PC provision. However, further work should emphasise on improving PC understanding, better collaboration among other healthcare professionals and overcoming system-related barriers.

Authors: ŞAŞAK KUZGUN Gülşah , MURAT Sadiye , ÖZKÖK Serçin , KASAPOGLU Esen
Published: July 2022

Background Sulfasalazine (SSZ) is an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory drug used to treat many inflammatory diseases. Bacteria in the gut metabolize SSZ to active 5-aminosalicylic acid and inactive sulfapyridine. Sulfapyridine can crystallize in the kidney. We aimed to investigate the frequency of nephrolithiasis in patients who were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and who received SSZ treatment retrospectively.

Material and Methods We retrospectively analyzed the files of AS and RA patients in the rheumatology outpatient clinic between 2009 and 2018. We identified patients who underwent kidney ultrasonography at least six months after initiation of SSZ. One hundred six patients and 50 healthy adults were included in the study.

Results Only eight patients (6 AS, 2 RA) had nephrolithiasis on ultrasonography, but none in the control group (p=0.046). In logistic regression analysis, no correlation was found between gender, age, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and urinary calcium excretion with SSZ use (p>0.05).

Conclusion Although, it is noteworthy that these patients are prone to stone formation for various reasons. Therefore, paying attention to the patient’s hydration while using these drugs may prevent such side effects.

A Análise do Discurso pretende analisar não apenas a língua, mas também para cuidar das relações que ocorrem entre o sujeito, a língua e a história. Dessa forma, as leituras propostas por esta área não se dão na superficialidade, pelo contrário, são realizadas com profundidade, buscando as intenções por trás de cada enunciado. Nesse sentido, buscamos analisar, neste artigo, os discursos pedagógicos na pandemia do novo coronavírus, observando as formas que a educação é abordada pelas mídias sociais e o que se enuncia sobre ela. Com base nos estudos de Orlandi (2002, 2009 e 2016), Marques (2011) e Batista e Mastrodi (2018), entendemos que as instituições educacionais são os lugares onde a reprodução cultural acontece e elas reforçam, na sociedade, as questões de transmissão de poder e da alienação. Sob essa perspectiva, com a pandemia, a educação como forma de exclusão social ficou ainda mais evidente, visto que as aulas são feitas de forma online e apenas os indivíduos que possuem dispositivos eletrônicos (tablets, celulares e computadores) com acesso à internet conseguem assisti-las.

Published: July 2022

The mechanical properties of materials such as natural rubber composites determine their usefulness as engineering or biological materials. The thermodynamic properties of natural rubber composites filled with clay and corn cob at varying volume fraction of filler were studied with a view of relating and comparing thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS) to mechanical properties (Young’s modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break, etc) of natural rubber composites. The rubber composites were prepared using a standard compounding recipe. The tension observed for each rubber composite as a result of changes in temperature was used in evaluating thermodynamic parameters via Arrhenius equation and plot. These properties have been evaluated by measuring the thermodynamic parameters of natural rubber composites compounded with varying percent volume fractions (5% - 25%) of two fillers- clay and corn cob. The results indicated that the maximum values of ΔG and ΔH was obtained for corn cob filled composites at 10% volume fraction, while the optimal values of ΔS for the same composites was found to be at 5% and 25% volume fraction. At lower filler concentration (5 – 17.5%), corn cob filled composites were observed to have higher modulus than clay filled rubber composites, while at these concentration ranges, clay was found to impact higher tensile strength to natural rubber than corn cob filler.

The present investigation evaluated the physicochemical, alpha tocopherol content, fatty acid composition, and antimicrobial properties of Moringa oleifera seed oil [MOSO] extracted from M. oleifera seed indigenous to South-Western Nigeria. The oil yield obtained after Soxhlet [n-hexane] extraction of M. oleifera seeds was 37.35 ± 1.13%. The saponification value [mg of KOH g−1 of oil] of the extracted MOSO was 252.90 ± 2.78 while the acid value [mg KOH g−1 of oil] was 2.34 ± 0.23. The peroxide value [mequiv O2 kg−1] and iodine value [g of I2 100 g−1 of oil] were 4.89 ±0.42 and 67.68 ± 1.34 respectively. The specific gravity [@ 25 °C], refractive index [@ 40 °C], and viscosity [mpa.s @40 °C] were 0.90 ± 0.01, 1.464 ± 0.01, and 58.90 ± 3.52 respectively. Alpha-tocopherol [mg 100 g−1 of oil] content of the n-hexane extracted MOSO was 1.44 ± 0.01, and its corresponding mg/serving and percentage daily value [%] were 0.202 and 1.35 respectively. Chemical compounds identified by GC-MS analysis include Ethanol, 2-butoxy [7.56 %], Benzene-1-ethyl-4-methyl-[6.34 %], Benzene-1,2,3-trimethyl-[7.65 %], Benzene-1,2,4-trimethyl- [17.39 %] Isophorone [10.71 %], n-hexadecanoic acid [Palmitic Acid] [12.17 %], Oleic Acid [35.97 %], and Butyl- 9-octadecenoate [2.21 %]. The observed antimicrobial activity was concentration dependent. At 50 and 100 mg/ml, MOSO demonstrated intermediate antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, and Penicillum notatum while no activity was observed below 50 mg/ml. The examined MOSO exhibited good quality characteristics and could be utilized as alternative vegetable oil for food, industrial and pharmaceutical applications.

The plant Hippocratea indica is reported in ethnomedicine for treating various illnesses like guinea worm infestation and respiratory troubles. Hippocratea indica root and leaves were extracted respectively using methanol. The preliminary phytochemical screening of the respective crude methanol root and leaves extracts of Hippocratea indica revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids and glycoside. At the same time, phlobatannins was found only in the root. Column chromatography of the fractionated extract was carried out to get saturated, aromatic and non-polar fractions. The methanol crude extract of Hippocratea indica Willd indicates that the root and leaves extracts have high antimicrobial activities with higher sensitivity for the gram-negative bacteria than the gram-positive ones. The first fraction's gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis was performed. Forty-six compounds were identified in the methanol root extract, while thirteen were identified in the leaf extract through GC-MS analysis. The most abundant phytochemical was m-pyrol (23.73 %), followed by fumaric acid (8.59 %) and squalene (6.03 %) in the root extracted, while trans-geranylgeraniol (30.56 %), 2,6-ditert-butyl-4-[(2-octadecyloxycarbonyl) ethyl] phenol (22.51 %) and squalene (20.18 %) are in the leaves extract. These most abundant phytochemicals might be responsible for methanol root's antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity and leave extract of Hippocratea indica.

According to the Law on State Administration, inspection supervision is one of the tasks of the state administration, by which the state administration bodies examine the implementation of laws and other regulations by direct insight into the operations and treatment of natural and legal persons. Depending on the result of supervision, the competent authorities are authorized to impose appropriate measures in compliance with the principles of the inspection procedure. Inspection supervision is regulated by a special law. It's about the Inspection Supervision Act of 2015. A review was made of certain aspects of inspection control: defining of; phases of unwinding; areas of social life that are "covered" by inspection; preventive action; types of inspections; initiating the inspection procedure; moderate critical review of individual solutions of the Law on Inspection Supervision. The paper emphasizes the accentualization of organizational aspects in the work of inspection services, with special emphasis on the organization of the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications when it comes to the organization of inspection services. Otherwise, this administrative department supervises the Consumer Protection Law. At the end of the work, as a supplementary conclusion, an analysis of the Inspection supervision was carried out based on the Consumer Protection Act. The author ultimately concludes that inspection supervision was regulated by the Consumer Protection Act as a special form of institutional (administrative) protection of rights and interests of consumers.

Dari kajian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa akta perdamaian tetap memiliki kekuatan hukum walaupun tetap memperhatikan itikad baik para pihak. Kemudian pelaksanaan pemenuhan ganti kerugian klaim asuransi perlu diikuti dengan pembubaran badan hukum dan penunjukan tim likuidator sebagaimana Pasal 44 Undang-Undang Perasuransian. Tim likuidator perlu mengoreksi itikad baik bagi para pihak yang didasarkan akta perdamaian. Selain itu, dilakukan revisi terhadap ketentuan pencabutan izin usaha yang disertai pembubaran badan hukum perusahaan asuransi dan penunjukan tim likuidasi oleh Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) apabila dinilai membahayakan kepentingan pemegang polis sebagaimana yang diatur dalam Pasal 71 ayat (3) Undang-Undang Perasuransian.

Hadirnya teknologi digital semakin memudahkan manusia dalam menciptakan konten kreatif secara tanpa batas, misalnya dalam mengabadikan karya-karya cipta yang berada di ruang publik dan kemudian dapat menggunakannya secara komersil ataupun nonkomersil ke dalam platform ataupun media online. Hal tersebut menimbulkan permasalahan yakni bagaimana apabila karya cipta di ruang publik yang diabadikan dan diunggah ke dalam media-media online tersebut dikategorikan sebagai pelanggaran hak cipta. Dimana di beberapa negara, mengambil potret suatu karya cipta di ruang publik hanya dapat dilakukan di bawah ketentuan Freedom of Panorama. Pada dasarnya undang-undang hak cipta (UUHC) belum mengatur mengenai Freedom of Panorama dan pelindungan karya cipta yang ada di ruang publik, serta upaya pencegahan pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah dan penyedia platform juga belum secara maksimal dalam memberikan pelindungan terhadap karya cipta yang ada di ruang publik atas konten yang diunggah.
Coexistence of Migraine and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Authors: KOYUNCU Güner
Published: July 2022

Aim: Migraine and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are two common health problems that have some common features and are frequently encountered in society. Is it possible for these two tables, which have so much in common, to coexist? If so, is this association meaningful? The study was designed in order to find answers to these questions.

Method: This study was performed with a total of 345 subject as 178 patients having carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and 167 migraine patients. The first group was composed of those diagnosed with CTS based on the nerve conduction measurements in the electrophysiology laboratory. These patients were classified according to the international headache classification criteria and those with and without migraine were determined in the light of the data in the questionnaire. The second group, called as migraine group, comprised of those admitted to the neurology outpatient clinic and diagnosed with migraine. The study was designed as a cross-sectional and comparative study.

Results: Of the 345 patients who remained in the study after exclusion criteria, 178 were in the CTS group and 167 were in the migraine group. Although approximately 80,3% of those with CTS had migraine, only 12,6% of those diagnosed with migraine had CTS.

Conclusion and Suggestions: We consider that migraine headaches may create a predisposition to contract CTS in the future. Additional studies are needed to support this view.
A Deep-Fracture Approach to Embedded Multilayer Neural Networks for Handwritten Character Recognition

Published: July 2022

Low-cost microcontrollers, but also with reduced processing and memory capabilities, are highly appreciated devices for the development of specific tasks as embedded systems. The devices found in the market today provide dedicated 32-bit architectures with communication capabilities ideal for IoT applications. Some of these tasks would highly benefit from the generalization and approximation capabilities of a neural network, but current convolutional networks prove to be too complex for microcontrollers. An alternative for some cases is the use of Multilayer Neural Networks (MNNs), which, thanks to a shallower depth, reach sizes suitable for use in small embedded systems. An MNN can accommodate a complex decision surface capable of being used in high dimensionality pattern classification problems, such as handwritten character recognition. Given the lack of an explicit strategy to define the architecture of these networks in coherence with the problem to be solved, this paper conducts a performance analysis of these networks in terms of their depth, to establish criteria to determine their size in a specific application. For the evaluation, the public database MNIST has been used in conjunction with classical metrics to evaluate the performance of a classification model. The results show that the depth of the network determines to a high degree the performance of the model, and guides the appropriate selection of the architecture.

In security-related systems, such as access control systems, authentication is extremely important. There are several ways to carry out this crucial activity, but biometrics is currently attracting more attention. After realizing the usefulness of biometrics, security systems use them for one of two fundamental functions: user identification or user verification. Multiple biometrics exist, and various access control systems require various biometrics. As a result of their impossibility to be lost, stolen, or forgotten, biometrics have been deemed the most secure and practical authentication method. Therefore, the design and development of the voice and fingerprint-based magic access control system. This research explores the idea of increasing access control door security by replacing a door key with a trustworthy electromagnetic door lock system that allows only authorized people to access a location using voice recognition or a fingerprint device. The voice sensor and fingerprint sensor were able to scan the user’s voice or fingerprint to open a prototype door when a valid user try to access the door. The motor closes the door after a preset 5 seconds delay.
