Authors: Purwadi Purwadi , Saputra Wahyu N.E. , Sudaryani Rina R.S. , Rohmadheny Prima S.
Published: September 2022

Peace encourages humans to eliminate the impulse of violence within themselves. Peace in students can drive the development of peace in their social environment. Educators should be able to play the role of peace educators to take part in creating true peace. This study aims to identify the attributes of peace educators through the life experiences of KH Ahmad Dahlan, as narrated in the novel Sang Pencerah (The Enlightener). This qualitative research employs the hermeneutic approach. The research stages include overall understanding (whole), understanding of parts and obtaining an understanding of the underlying meaning. The results indicate that the attributes of peace educators, according to KH Ahmad Dahlan, include showing affection, being sincere, having a good attitude, performing practices aligning with the educators’ knowledge and teaching knowledge based on tolerance and empathy. Those attributes of peace educators can be used as a guide for developing the competencies of educators to encourage students to achieve peace-loving characters. This character supports the emergence of a culture of peace in their environment.Contribution: This research has contributed to the successful implementation of education through teachers who have the attributes of peace educators. The characteristics of peace educators based on KH Ahmad Dahlan are a reference for teachers to become educators who can create peace through school settings.
Spiritual freedom and development in Africa: A theological perspective
Authors: Kakwata Frederick
Published: September 2022

Numerous studies have shown that freedom is a constituent component and provided the principal ends of countries’ development and socio-economic well-being. However, the emphasis was placed on the physical aspects of freedom that foster development. The spiritual dimension is frequently conspicuously lacking in such interventions. Therefore, the current study postulated that development depends not only on physical aspects of freedom but also on spiritual determinants. This article is a rhetorical criticism. The author utilised the argumentation discourse and dialectical approach as the methodological framework. It sought to explore the concept of spiritual freedom and its possible implications for development within an African context of poverty. Therefore, this article proffers a fresh insight into the theological discourse in contemporary Africa to inspire further scholarly investigations into this area of research.Contribution: This research investigated the role of spiritual freedom in development. The analytical framework’s applicability resulted in fresh discoveries and crucial findings on the potential impact of spiritual freedom on development. It is essentially the study’s key contribution. As such, the study may be used as a theoretical foundation for further investigation and applicability. This study aimed to offer a scholarly contribution by exploring characteristics of spiritual freedom that promote development using this interpretative technique that draws and improves on well-established paradigms of development studies. Furthermore, this research creates an uncommon blend of rhetorical critique, argumentative discourse, and dialectical and biblical-theological approaches toward giving a perspectival interpretation with special implications for the African context.
Curing the pandemic of misinformation on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines through real evidence-based medicine - Part 1
Authors: Malhotra Aseem
Published: September 2022

Background: In response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), several new pharmaceutical agents have been administered to billions of people worldwide, including the young and healthy at little risk from the virus. Considerable leeway has been afforded in terms of the pre-clinical and clinical testing of these agents, despite an entirely novel mechanism of action and concerning biodistribution characteristics.Aim: To gain a better understanding of the true benefits and potential harms of the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) coronavirus disease (COVID) vaccines.Methods: A narrative review of the evidence from randomised trials and real world data of the COVID mRNA products with special emphasis on BionTech/Pfizer vaccine.Results: In the non-elderly population the “number needed to treat” to prevent a single death runs into the thousands. Re-analysis of randomised controlled trials using the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology suggests a greater risk of serious adverse events from the vaccines than being hospitalised from COVID-19. Pharmacovigilance systems and real-world safety data, coupled with plausible mechanisms of harm, are deeply concerning, especially in relation to cardiovascular safety. Mirroring a potential signal from the Pfizer Phase 3 trial, a significant rise in cardiac arrest calls to ambulances in England was seen in 2021, with similar data emerging from Israel in the 16–39-year-old age group.Conclusion: It cannot be said that the consent to receive these agents was fully informed, as is required ethically and legally. A pause and reappraisal of global vaccination policies for COVID-19 is long overdue.Contribution: This article highlights the importance of addressing metabolic health to reduce chronic disease and that insulin resistance is also a major risk factor for poor outcomes from COVID-19.
Modelling budget management for public service in South African Municipalities: A structural equation modelling approach
Authors: Zweni Abongile G. , Yan Bingwen , Uys Corrie
Published: September 2022

Background: For more than two decades, many municipalities have failed to render services effectively because of lack of competency and budget management skills to manage budgets. This has resulted in either over or under expenditure, which ultimately leads to poor service delivery.Aim: This study aimed to develop a budget management model to improve public service in South African municipalities.Setting: Three municipalities in the Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Free State are the areas where data were collected by researchers.Methods: A quantitative research approach was employed and an online questionnaire was used for data collection from 261 participants in three municipalities. A structural equation modelling approach was used to develop the budget management model.Results: The results revealed that risk management (RM), cash flow management (CFM) from employee perceptions have a positive impact on budget management; whereas CFM from general compliance with legislative consideration (LC) have a negative impact, budget planning (BP) and revenue and expenditure management (REM) have low impact on budget management for public service.Conclusion: The study highlights the key factors (i.e. RM, BP, CFM, LC and REM) as a result of which managers at various levels fail to manage budgets effectively. The proposed model adds new insights to respond to budget management challenges. It is recommended that municipalities must improve their budget management skills for an effective public service. Findings from this study contribute to the existing body of knowledge by proposing a budget management model for public service in South Africa.

Authors: Malherbe Francois , Nel Daniel , Molabe Hunadi , Cairncross Lydia , Roodt Liana
Published: September 2022

A palpable breast lump is a common presentation of breast disease to a general practitioner. Fortunately, investigation of most of these lumps will lead to a benign diagnosis. It is essential to have a clear and systematic approach when investigating a palpable breast lump to avoid over investigation with the resultant increase in healthcare cost and anxiety. This article will discuss an approach to evaluating and diagnosing a palpable breast lump in the primary care setting.
Investigating the relationship between selected organisational factors and women’s skills development aspirations and career progression: A South African case study
Authors: Fitong Ketchiwou Gaelle , Naong Matsidiso N. , Van der Walt Freda , Dzansi Lineo W.
Published: September 2022

Orientation: There has been increased research in the past century on women within the workplace; however, women still face myriad gender-related challenges in their careers.Research purpose: This research investigates how selected factors in and out of organisations affect women’s skills development and career progression.Motivation for the study: There is a pervasive perception that the rate at which women progress across hierarchy of work levels in organizations varies appreciably from the experience of their male counterparts.Research approach/design and method: A positivist research approach was used, employing a questionnaire survey which was administered via an online platform to a sample of 412 women working within the service sector in the Gauteng province of South Africa, using a convenient non-probability sampling method. The relationship between the dependent and independent variables was analysed using the structural equation modelling approach.Main findings: Results reveal that workplace support strategies and personal attributes influence women’s skills development. Workplace support strategies, family responsibilities, personal attributes and skills development also play vital roles in women’s career progression.Practical/managerial implications: To promote gender equity and stimulate a career path for women, organisational support and deliberate women’s skills development initiatives must be engendered.Contribution/value-add: The empirical evidence demonstrates the positive effect that organisational support and personal responsibility have on women’s skills development and their career progression, confirming that skills development is a predictor of women’s career progression.
Linking work engagement of emergency physicians to patient centricity in underdeveloped regions
Authors: Andy Andy , Antonio Ferdi
Published: September 2022

Orientation: Health facilities in underdeveloped regions present their challenges in terms of research, especially regarding the work engagement (WE) of health workers, in this case, emergency physicians. Adjustments to existing research models are needed to obtain accurate responses. Patient centricity (PC) as a new term in healthcare is the estimated variable in this study.Research purpose: This study aimed to examine the relationship between the antecedents of WE and PC in emergency physicians who worked at hospitals in underdeveloped regions in Indonesia, incorporating WE as a mediator.Motivation for the study: Studies linking WE to PC have never been established. Furthermore, studies regarding WE have never been carried out in underdeveloped regions, and most of them are only limited to job resources as a benchmark.Research design/approach, and method: A quantitative survey was conducted through a purposive sampling technique to collect data from emergency physicians in hospitals in East Nusa Tenggara. There are 183 eligible respondents, whose responses were analysed through partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).Main findings: The direct link to WE was found to be predominated by physician autonomy and public service motivation. It was found that WE positively and significantly connected to PC. The PLS-predict resulted in large cross-validated redundancy for this model.Practical/managerial implications: This study has implications for policymakers and hospital management in developing personal and job resources in optimising PC through WE.Contribution/value-add: This study will show a new approach where WE can estimate PC, and this model can be replicated and tested in a larger population of physicians.
Spectral isoperimetric inequalities for Robin Laplacians on 2-manifolds and unbounded cones
Authors: Khalile Magda , Lotoreichik Vladimir
Published: September 2022

We consider the problem of geometric optimization of the lowest eigenvalue for the Laplacian on a compact, simply-connected two-dimensional manifold with boundary subject to an attractive Robin boundary condition. We prove that in the sub-class of manifolds with the Gauss curvature bounded from above by a constant

K_\circ \ge 0

and under the constraint of fixed perimeter, the geodesic disk of constant curvature

K_\circ

maximizes the lowest Robin eigenvalue. In the same geometric setting, it is proved that the spectral isoperimetric inequality holds for the lowest eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator. Finally, we adapt our methods to Robin Laplacians acting on unbounded three-dimensional cones to show that, under a constraint of fixed perimeter of the cross-section, the lowest Robin eigenvalue is maximized by the circular cone.
The $L^p$ boundedness of the wave operators for matrix Schrödinger equations
Authors: Weder Ricardo
Published: September 2022

We prove that the wave operators for

n \times n

matrix Schrödinger equations on the half line, with general selfadjoint boundary condition, are bounded in the spaces

L^p(\mathbb R^+, \mathbb C^n),

1 < p < \infty,

for slowly decaying selfadjoint matrix potentials

V

that satisfy the condition

\int_{0}^{\infty}(1+x) |V(x)|\: dx < \infty.

Moreover, assuming that

\int_{0}^{\infty }(1+x^\gamma) |V(x)|\: dx < \infty,

\gamma > \frac{5}{2},

and that the scattering matrix is the identity at zero and infinite energy, we prove that the wave operators are bounded in

L^1(\mathbb R^+, \mathbb C^n)

and in

L^\infty(\mathbb R^+, \mathbb C^n).

We also prove that the wave operators for

n\times n

matrix Schrödinger equations on the line are bounded in the spaces

L^p(\mathbb R, \mathbb C^n), 1 < p < \infty,

assuming that the perturbation consists of a point interaction at the origin and of a potential

\mathcal V

that satisfies the condition

\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}(1+|x|)|\mathcal V(x)|\: dx < \infty.

Further, assuming that

\int_{-\infty}^{\infty }(1+|x|^\gamma) |\mathcal V(x)|\: dx < \infty,

\gamma > \frac{5}{2},

and that the scattering matrix is the identity at zero and infinite energy, we prove that the wave operators are bounded in

L^1(\mathbb R, \mathbb C^n)

and in

L^\infty(\mathbb R, \mathbb C^n).

We obtain our results for

n\times n

matrix Schrödinger equations on the line from the results for

2n\times 2n

matrix Schrödinger equations on the half line.
Perturbation determinants and discrete spectra of semi-infinite non-self-adjoint Jacobi operators
Authors: Golinskii Leonid B.
Published: September 2022

We study the trace class perturbations of the half-line, discrete Laplacian and obtain a new bound for the perturbation determinant of the corresponding non-self-adjoint Jacobi operator. Based on this bound, we obtain the Lieb–Thirring inequalities for such operators. The spectral enclosure for the discrete spectrum and embedded eigenvalues are also discussed.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Compensatory inferior turbinate hypertrophy is a common accompanying manifestation in patients with nasal obstruction due to deviated nasal septum (DNS). The grounds for inferior turbinate reduction (ITR) in this population are still not well established. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of septoplasty with ITR versus septoplasty alone. Methods: Computerised search in Medline, Embase, and CENTRAL was performed. Eligible for inclusion were randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing septoplasty to septoplasty with unilateral, contralateral, ITR in adults with DNS. Primary outcomes were health-related quality of life and nasal patency. The secondary outcome was the occurrence of adverse events. Standardised mean differences (SMD) and odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Results: Twelve RCTs that enrolled 775 participants were found eligible. Data were reported at follow-up periods ranging from 1 month to 48 months. The pooled effect estimate showed a statistically significant improvement with unilateral, contralateral, ITR in Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation scale (NOSE) scores. The rate of adverse events was significantly higher with ITR. Conclusions: Unilateral reduction of the hypertrophied contralateral inferior turbinate during septoplasty resulted in better subjective relief of nasal obstruction in adults with DNS than septoplasty alone. However, caution is warranted since only few well-designed RCTs were identified.

Published: September 2022

Today, it is known that formal education models alone are not sufficient for the complexity of design education. Thus, these models should be supported by informal methods. In contemporary architectural education, the formal structure is supported by various informal education tools such as competitions, workshops, and panels. However, although it is seen as two different education models, it is not possible to draw a clear boundary between formal and informal education. Because it can be said that today's formal education contains informality and informal education has various formal aspects. In this context firstly, formal, informal, and non-formal education models are examined. Furthermore, extracurricular, and co-curricular activities, which are a part of formal, informal, and non-formal education models, are explained. Secondly, the workshops, which are seen as an informal tool in architectural education, are examined according to their characteristics such as method, subject, actors, organizer, duration, and venue. Subsequently, this article discusses the formal and informal status of workshops according to these characteristics. The discussion is carried out over four workshops with different characteristics, organized by the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design at Istanbul Kültür University under the name of “Bahar Atölyeleri” (Spring Workshops). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four participants who participated in four different workshops. Thus, it was aimed to discover the formal and informal aspects of the workshops by conducting interviews with the participants.

Published: September 2022

In this paper, we are interested in the following inverse problem.We assume that $\{P_{n}\} _{n\geq 0}$ is a~monic orthogonal polynomials sequence withrespect to a quasi-definite linear functional $u$and we analyze the existence of a sequence of orthogonal polynomials$\{ Q_{n}\} _{n\geq 0}$ such that we have a following decomposition$Q_{n}(x)+r_{n}Q_{n-1}(x)=P_{n}(x)+s_{n}P_{n-1}(x)+t_{n}P_{n-2}(x) +v_{n}P_{n-3}( x)$, $n\geq 0$,when $v_{n}r_{n}\neq 0,$ for every $n\geq 4.$ Moreover, we show that theorthogonality of the sequence $\{Q_{n}\}_{n\geq 0}$ can be also characterized by the existence ofsequences depending on the parameters $r_{n}$, $s_{n}$, $t_{n}$, $v_{n}$ andthe recurrence coefficients which remain constants. Furthermore, we show that therelation between the corresponding linear functionals is$k( x-c) u=( x^{3}+ax^{2}+bx+d) v$,where $c, a, b, d\in \mathbb{C}$ and $k\in \mathbb{C}\setminus \{0\}$.We also study some subcases in which the parameters $r_{n},$ $s_{n},$ $t_{n}$ and $v_{n}$can be computed more easily.We end by giving an illustration for a special example of the above typerelation.

В настоящая статья посвященаследующей обратной задаче. Для последовательность полиномов от одной переменной$\{P_{n}\} _{n\geq 0}$, ортогональных относительно квазиопределенного линейногофункционала $u$, выяснить условия существования последовательности ортогональныхполиномов $\{ Q_{n}\}_{n\geq 0}$, для которых имеет место разложение$Q_{n}(x)+r_{n}Q_{n-1}(x)=P_{n}(x)+s_{n}P_{n-1}(x)+t_{n}P_{n-2}(x)+v_{n}P_{n-3}( x)$,$n\geq 0$, где $v_{n}r_{n}\neq 0,$ для всех $n\geq 4$. Показано, что ортогональностьпоследовательности $\{Q_{n}\}_{n\geq 0}$ характеризуется существованиемпоследовательностей, зависящих от параметров $r_{n}$, $s_{n}$, $t_{n}$, $v_{n}$ ипостоянных рекуррентных коэффициентов. Кроме того, установлено, что соотношение междусоответствующими линейными функционалами имеет вид $k( x-c) u=( x^{3}+ax^{2}+bx+d) v$,где $c, a, b, d\in \mathbb{C}$ and $k\in \mathbb{C}\setminus \{0\}$. Рассмотренытакже подклассы для которых параметры $r_{n},$ $s_{n},$ $t_{n}$ и $v_{n}$ легковычисляются. В конце приводятся иллюстрирующие примеры.

Published: September 2022

Цель данной статьи --- ввести нормы в пространстве обобщенных бесселевыхпотенциалов на основе весовых интегралов Дирихле. Сначала мы определяем весовойинтеграл Дирихле и показываем, что этот интеграл можно представить с помощьюмногомерного обобщенного сдвига. Далее мы показываем, что такая норма не подходит длявведения функционального пространства произвольного дробного порядка гладкости. Затеммы вводим новую норму, связанную с ядром обобщенного потенциала Бесселя. Общая теорияпотенциала берет свое начало из теории электростатического и гравитационногопотенциалов и уравнений Лапласа, волнового уравнения, уравнений Гельмгольца иПуассона. Известно, что знаменитые потенциалы Рисса являются реализациямидействительных отрицательных степеней оператора Лапласа и волновых операторов.Между тем большое внимание в теории потенциала уделяется потенциалу Бесселя,поскольку он порождает пространства дробной гладкости. Обобщение в статье достигаетсяпутем рассмотрения оператора Лапласа~--- Бесселя, построенного на основе сингулярногодифференциального оператора Бесселя. Теория сингулярных дифференциальных уравнений,содержащих оператор Бесселя и неразрывно связанная с ней теория соответствующихвесовых функциональных пространств, относятся к тем математическимнаправлениям, теоретическое и прикладное значение которых трудно переоценить.

Published: September 2022

The election of outstanding regional heads brings hope for the future of leadership in Indonesia. One of the regional heads is the Regent of Bojonegoro for the 2008–2018 period. This study aims to determine the implementation of leadership that can bring changes to public organizations such as the Government of Bojonegoro Regency. By using qualitative methods and case study approaches, this research seeks to reduce Suyoto's leadership experience to the essence of implementing leadership needed by public organizations. Through codification using NVivo, ten themes were found, namely looking for solutions or innovative, pro-people, good characters, not being distant, having a forgiving nature, being caring, visionary, being a public bus driver, listening to feedback, and being a role model. The results show that leaders need to have the right traits and skills, which are based on the drive to serve. This result should be imitated by other regions in choosing their leaders. But the difficulty lies in the urge to serve, because the urge is not obvious from the very beginning of the election of a leader, but will be tested once the leader gains power.

Published: September 2022

Studies on the influence of technological parameters (cathode-substrate distance, substrate temperature, bias voltage, arc current) of vacuum-arc titanium deposition coatings have shown that the deposition rate from one cathode is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the sample and the cathode surface and proportional to the angle of inclination of the sample relative to the normal to the cathode surface. Sputtered titanium coatings at optimal parameters have 1.25 times higher cavitation resistance than bulk titanium. Among the alloyed vacuum-arc coatings TiAl, TiZr, and TiNi, coatings of the TiAl and TiNi systems have the highest resistance to cavitation and
abrasive wear.

Published: September 2022

Amaç: Dünya Ticaret Örgütü’nde (DTÖ) Anlaşmazlıkların Halli Mekanizması ve diğer reform konularınınirdelenmesi ve güncel durumlarının değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: DTÖ reform tartışmaları incelenmiş olup reform üzerine farklı aktörlerin bakış açıları betimleyici şekilde anlatılmıştır. Bulgular: Gümrük Tarifeleri ve Ticaret Genel Anlaşması (GATT) günlerinden beri DTÖ küresel ticaretin gelişmesi ve serbestleşmesinde önemli role sahiptir. Ancak ana işlevlerini yerine getiremeyişi uluslararası ticaret kurallarının DTÖ dışında ikili serbest ticaret anlaşmaları ve bölgesel ticaret anlaşmaları yoluyla yapılmasına yol açmıştır. Bu yüzden uluslararası ticaretin merkezi olma rolünü canlandırmak ve günümüz dünyasında kurumun güncelliğini sağlamak için DTÖ’de reform ihtiyacı sıklıkla dile getirilmiştir. Tıkanmış olan Anlaşmazlıkların Halli Mekanizması’nın Temyiz Organı reform yapılması gereken en acil konu olarak görülmektedir. Hâlihazırda üyelerinin atanmasındaki çıkmazdan ötürü Temyiz Organı işleyememekte ve gelen başvurular incelenememektedir. Şeffaflık ve devlet politikalarının izlenmesine ilişkin olarak Çin’in piyasa bozucu pratiklerine dair endişeler öne sürülmüştür. Reform konuları arasında özel ve lehte muamele yer almaktadır. ABD Çin’in küresel ticarette artan payının altını çizerek gelişmekte olan ülke statüsünün öz beyandan ziyade ekonomik göstergelere dayanarak tanımlanmasını önermiştir. Çoklu görüşmeler DTÖ’de uzun süredir çok taraflı sonucun çıkmayışına çare olarak görülmüştür. E-ticaret, cinsiyet eşitliği ve çevre konularında devam etmekte olan çoklu görüşmelerde henüz bir neticeye ulaşılamasa da ilerleme kaydedilmektedir. Özellikle 12. Bakanlar Konferansı’nda kabul edilen, çevresel sürdürülebilirliği odağına alan ilk anlaşma, Balıkçılık Sübvansiyonları Anlaşması’nın DTÖ’deki çevreyle ilgili diğer girişimlere hız kazandırdığı dile getirilmektedir. DTÖ’nün reform konuları arasında yer almasa dahi, DTÖ’nün güncel meselelerin tartışıldığı platform işlevini, kısıtlı da olsa, canlandırdığı için Covid-19 aşılarının mülkiyet haklarından feragati konusuna da değinilecektir. Özgünlük: Sıkça gündeme gelen DTÖ’de reform konularının güncel değerlendirmesinin yapıldığı bu makale, farklı aktörlerin reform ihtiyacına bakışının anlaşılmasına ve çok taraflı müzakere sisteminin değerlendirilmesine yönelik yürütülecek araştırmalara güncel bir zemin teşkil edecektir.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: In the forensic identification of unidentifed corpses, several technological clinical tools are used in order to obtain data that may be relevant in the judicial investigation. One of them is the registration and documentation of tattoos. Tattoos are body modifications with marks on the skin made by impregnating the epidermis with various pigments forming diverse figures. Their presence plays a very important role in our society, as it is also in the study of forensic sciences. Case report: The naked corpse of an unidentified female was located in a sewage stream, in an advanced process of putrefaction, with no soft tissues on the face due to cadaveric anthropophagy. In the external inspection, several tattoos were located that made positive forensic identification possible. Discussion: Biometric features, scars, marks on the body and tattoos have been especially important at a legal and forensic level, their state of conservation persists even after an advanced state of cadaveric decomposition, they remain even after the loss of the superficial layers of skin Conclusions. With this report we demonstrate the usefulness of the exterior study of the corpse and inspection of tattoos in the identification of unidentified corpses.

Elections or we are familiar with the term voting are not only carried out in the election of the legislative council of political parties in a country, the election is also carried out in a school and university organization in the election of candidates for the chairman of the organization or student president. The voting system is always carried out by voting if political opponents or opponents of potential leaders experience the same vote. Voting is an activity carried out to choose a candidate for a predetermined election. In today's modern era, a lot of work is done automatically, including voting, which was previously done manually. Voting that is done manually is done by voting on paper, and the results are calculated on each paper which makes the calculation process take longer. Created a system that can facilitate the voting process. E-Voting is a candidate selection system and the most votes are made and processed in a digital system. System In this voting process there is a process for nominating candidates, selecting candidates, and voting results. With the existence of e-voting to conduct candidate selection with clear and not manipulated data. The data security process is carried out by encrypting data from an existing database using Caesar's Classical Cryptography Algorithm.
Factors Influencing Common Fibular Nerve Course Variability before Bifurcation into the Superficial Fibular Nerve and Deep Fibular Nerve: A Cadaveric Study
Authors:   Nova Southeastern University, Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine, BS Dylon P. Collins
Published: September 2022

Background and Objectives: The common fibular nerve (CFN) has anatomical variance between individuals as it transitions from the posterior thigh to the anterior leg. The nerve’s course around the fibular neck is of particular interest, where it becomes vulnerable to injury at the lateral knee. Therefore, we sought to compare factors that may predict distal CFN variability, such as height, age, sex, fibular length, and proximal sciatic variations, which individually or cumulatively play a role in predicting clinically significant locations where the CFN commonly transitions among certain populations. Methods: In this cadaveric study, twenty anatomically-fixed specimens were analyzed, ten males and ten females. Data gathered included age, sex, height, CFN transition point measured from the proximal head of the fibular to the point 90 degrees off the midline of the fibula where the CFN courses around the fibular neck, fibular length, and proximal sciatic nerve variations characterized based on the Beaton and Anson classification system. Factors were compared and statistical values were generated. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between CFN transition points compared to fibular lengths, heights, and between sexes. Sciatic nerve (SN) bifurcation levels and exits were bilaterally identical on all cadavers. All SN exits were Beaton and Anson type 1 (undivided nerve below and undivided piriformis), and bifurcation levels were 20% high, 25% middle, and 55% low. Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of considering a person’s height, fibular length, and sex when addressing injuries involving the CFN at the lateral leg.

Authors:   School of Foreign Languages, Thai Nguyen University
Published: September 2022

Language testing and assessment has a direct impact on teaching because teachers utilize test results to modify their course objectives, make better use of the materials and activities in class, and, if they are the testers, design better tests. However, there often have been a lot of gathered concerns in relation to the content validity of locally designed achievement English tests from the educators and administrators who always raise a question of whether the teacher-make English achievement tests faithfully reflect the course objectives, expected linguistic knowledge, skills as well as measures the real linguistic competence of test-takers. This study aims to seek out the evidence to comprehend the reality of teacher-made English achievement tests and provide them with the required teacher development programs to help them improve their proficiency in teaching and testing. The results show the majority of teachers have strong perceptions about EAT and have a good understanding of testing principles; therefore, they conducted their tests using an appropriate process while keeping in mind the English teaching and testing context. It can be noted that the findings from the study have shed light on important factors which relate to the effect of the process of test preparation and test construction.

Objective: Post-operative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent surgical complication. Data on this disorder are scare in our setting. We aimed to study the prevalence, characteristics and outcome of postoperative AKI in Cameroon. Methods: A prospective and analytical study from December 2020 to Mai 2021 including all consenting adults’ patients admitted in the departments of surgery, obstetrics/gynecology and intensive care unit (ICU) of 3 referral hospitals in Douala. For each patient, 3 serum creatinine assays were done on admission before the surgery, on days 2 and 7 after surgery. Postoperative AKI was defined and classified according to the modified KDIGO 2012 criteria. Outcome measure were kidney recovery at day 7 and mortality. Kidney recovery was total if serum creatinine on day 7 was less or equal to the preoperative value, partial if less than diagnostic value of day 2 but not the preoperative value and absent if creatinine on day 7 did not decrease or if the patient required dialysis. p <0.05 was considered significant. Result: Out of 203 patients included, 52 developed postoperative AKI, giving a prevalence of 26.6%. Mean age of AKI patients was 35.34 (13.74) years with 61.6% being (32/52) male; AKI stage 1 accounts for 55.7% (29/52), 19.3% (10/52) stage 2 and 25% (13/52) stage 3. AKI was functional in 61.5% (32/52) of cases mainly due to hypovolemia 42.5% (22/52) and sepsis 34.6% (18/52). For the 40 patients diagnosed on D2, kidney recovery was known in 75% (30/40); with 66.6% (20/30) total recovery, 23.4% (7/30) partial recovery and 10 % (3/30) without recovery. Mortality rate was 19% (10/52) mainly due to hemorrhagic shock. Intra operative hypotension (aOR: 6.09; CI: 1.4 - 26.33; p = 0.016) and dirty surgery (aOR: 6.22; CI: 1.35 - 28.75; p = 0.019) were factors associated with AKI. Conclusion: Postoperative AKI occurred in 1/4 of patients in our setting. It is mainly due to hypovolemia and sepsis, renal recovery and mortality were high.

Published: September 2022

Protective face mask identification is essential today to users as it is a prominent protective wearable to shield from being infected by Covid-19 viruses. Protective face masks consist of layers of fibers that can capture large respiratory droplets and microscopic particles such as viruses or dust. Thus, mask filtration efficiency results depend on the materials used for each layer. Detail about mask description and efficiency are still anonymous to users, which is vital in this COVID-19. Therefore, this paper reviews designing 3D augmented reality for the protective mask with its detail parameter and mask sizing recommendation on android mobile. About 73 articles on the protective face mask, 3D augmented reality modeling, masks inward leakage testing, breathing resistance, and measuring faces have been reviewed. The result examines the existing protective face mask, inward leakage testing parameter, breathing resistance parameters, 3D modeling techniques, mobile applications, and the application used for measuring faces. The identified result shows six recent and familiar masks with 8% of arithmetic mean for inward leakage testing. The best flow efficiency is determined a 0.3 Microns bigger than 95%. The result also shows a detailed parameter for inward leakage testing in terms of inhalation resistance and flow rate. The comparison for 3D AR parameters is identified for application type, evaluated parameter, technical support parameter, AR platform, and software. This research is significant for developing AR mobile applications that ease and transparency information to the community for safety and health issues in Malaysia.
