Soft skills are very important in addition to academic knowledge. Soft skills are also non-technical abilities such as being able to think critically and time management. In the world of work, companies are not only looking for prospective employe with good hard skills but also for the soft skills they have. This is very important to be socialized and give knowledge to students in high school because they are the future successors of the nation who will enter the world of lectures and work, to improve their quality. One thing that can be done is the Community Service Training (PKM) activity entitled 'Improving the Quality of Human Resources Through Soft skill Training' where the participants of this activity consist of students from SMA Dharma Pancasila Medan. The methods given are briefing, presentation, discussion, case study, and final evaluation. This activity aims to provide understanding and mastery of soft skills to improve the quality of human resources. The result of this activity concluded that this activity was very helpful for participants in increasing their understanding and awareness of improving soft skills.

The use of clean water for daily and commercial needs will cause an increase in the amount of domestic waste. The increasing amount of domestic wastewater that is not matched by an increase in water bodies can cause problems related to surface water's carrying capacity and capacity. This community service aims to increase public awareness of the importance of domestic wastewater management, which can cause impacts on the environment and health. This service was carried out in Kukin Village, North Moyo District, in June 2021. The method of this community service activity was counseling on the importance of greywater wastewater management by involving 20 respondents who were visited door to door. The service showed that the community's understanding is still minimal regarding domestic wastewater management (greywater) in every home. This was indicated by the percentage of knowledge of the majority of respondents in the fewer categories as much as 65% and the remaining 35% in the good category. In addition, the majority of respondents initially let the greywater wastewater be thrown away as much as the remaining 50%, respectively 15% and 35%, were used for watering the yard and plants. The conclusion in this service is that the management of domestic liquid waste among the target community is still low. This activity can increase citizens' understanding to pay attention to wastewater from households and maintain public health.

Inoculation of seeds with plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) often increases maize yields in N-deficient soils. However, would yields increase if inoculation with PBPB was made in soils with high organic matter contents receiving N-fertilizer? In this article, we report the results of four field-experiments performed in the Southern Brazil (Campo Largo-PR and Lapa-PR, Brazil) during the growing seasons of 2017/2018 and 2018/2019, including treatments with three doses of N (0, 50 and 100 kg of N ha-1) supplied as (NH4)2SO4, and inoculation of Azospirillum brasilense Abv05 and Abv06, or, of new strains of Bacillus sp. (LGMB 143, LGMB 152, LGMB 319 or LGMB 326). Application of 50 kg N ha-1 increased yields by 32% in Campo Largo, and 16% in Lapa, in relation to non-fertilized plots, but doubling the N fertilization or including PGPB inoculants did not affect crop growth and productivity. The average yields in the plots with N and bacterial inoculation was 8,255 kg ha-1 in Campo Largo and 11,311 kg ha-1 in Lapa. Increases of grain yields were related to increases in plant height, shoot dry matter, ear length and diameter and 1000 grains mass. This study adds to the fact that scientists and farmers should rethink the paradigm of excessive doses of N fertilization on maize. Furthermore, inoculation of maize seeds with PGPB do not increase yields when the N demand of the crop is satisfied via N-fertilization.

Authors: Bawa Nura , Haliru Umar
Published: June 2022

The paper investigated the effect of augmented reality on the academic performance of undergraduate students in econometrics in the northwest, Nigeria. The paper sought to determine whether there was a difference in the academic performance of the students taught using AR and those taught the same using a traditional approach. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design. The population of the study involved all 300-level students in the two universities under the study. Intact classes of 41 and 31 students were selected as experimental and control groups respectively. An augmented reality (Simple Boy) was used as the treatment, and an econometrics test instrument (ETI) was used as a research instrument for the study. The instrument was validated by experts, and subjected to a pilot study. A reliability index of 0.76 was obtained using KR-21. The study found that there was a significant difference in the academic performance of the students taught using the AR and those taught the same content using the traditional approach in favour of those taught using the AR. There was also a significant difference in the academic performance of the students taught using the AR-based on gender, in favour of female students. The study concluded that augmented reality is an emerging technology that if used diligently in the instructional process is capable of revolutionizing education in the 21st century. There is no doubt that the technology is effective in improving students’ active participation in the learning process which in turn promotes students’ academic performance at all levels of education. It was recommended that Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that researchers should design and develop augmented reality apps and test their effectiveness in different scenarios and different learning environments. This would help to further ascertain its strengths and weaknesses for quality assurance, control, and integration in the education sector.
Assessment of the Role of Religious Institutions in Enhancing Secondary School Security in Sokoto Metropolis, Sokoto State, Nigeria
Authors: Musa Abubakar
Published: June 2022

This study investigated the role of religious institutions in enhancing secondary school security in Sokoto Metropolis, Sokoto State, Nigeria. Two research objectives were formulated to guide the study: to assess the role of religious institutions in enhancing secondary school security and to also examine the constraints to the role of religious institutions in enhancing secondary school security in Sokoto Metropolis, Sokoto State, Nigeria. The study was motivated by the increasing cases of insecurity in the education sector and the need to find a lasting solution by all stakeholders, including religious institutions. Qualitative research method was adopted for the study and interview was used in collecting data. The population of the study comprises school administrators, religious Subjects’ teachers and religious leaders, where nine participants were selected using snowball sampling technique. The data were analysed using thematic analysis and the findings revealed that religious institutions play a spiritual supportive role, advisory role in government and private owned schools and play a huge and direct role in schools owned by them by purchasing of security gadgets, construction of school fence, liaising with security agents, among others. It was also revealed that among the constraints in enhancing secondary school security are: financial, political, legal, among others. Based on these findings, the study concludes that religious institutions play a great role in enhancing secondary school security in schools owned by them but play a supportive and advisory role in other schools due to some constraints and therefore recommends that government should provide constitutional framework to support religious institutions in order to enable them carry out some roles in enhancing security of schools and that of the society in general.
Dalit Movement And Contribution Of Dalit Associations In United Provinces.

Published: June 2022

This article attempts to document the history of dalit associations in United Provinces. The main objective of this article is to provide a historical trajectory of evolution of dalit movement and contribution of dalit associations to it in United Provinces. The main argument put forwarded is that dalit associations played an important role in mobilization and organization of multiple dalit castes which prepared ground work for emergence of Dalit movement in United Provinces.

Dalit movement in United Provincenial atmosphere for mobilization of Dalits for achieving socio-political rights of Dalits.es attracted the attention of several scholars on account of its success in the form of the Bahujan Samajwadi Party. It has been perceived as a symbol of new trend in Indian politics from below. Studies of Sudha Pai, Chrisstrofar Jafferlot Badri Narayan and Ramnarayan Rawat, look at Dalit assertion from the perspective of politics of people for power. These studies did a commendable job by reflecting upon the historical dynamics of Dalit movement in United Provinces. But the fact is that the role of caste associations established by Dalits and their impact upon the politics of Dalits received insignificant coverage. Consequently, the valuable contribution of Dalit caste associations remained unexplored. This article tries to document the ideas and activities of Dalit caste associations and their impact upon Dalits movement of United Provinces.
The Icon Of Thirumalai Nayak, Hindu Bakthi Revival: A Study

Published: June 2022

As we have seen above, Hinduism was the religion of the Vijayanagar kings, and their cultural mission was to promote it in order to restore it from the devastation it had suffered during Islamic dominion. The majority of the Vijayanagar emperors were
Vaishnavites, and the Nayaks were mostly Vaishnavites as well, but there is no evidence that the other Hindu religions were harmed in any way. They built both Saiva and Vaishnava temples, and both were equally well equipped. The Vaishnava schism – Vadakalai and Tenkalai – emerged during this time, culminating in the teachings of Tenkalai Acharya Manavala Mamunigal (late 14th century), who was inspired by Pillai Lokacharya in the 13th century. With its denominational and doctrinal distinctions from the other school (the Vadakalai), the Tenkalai tradition has been more Catholic and less orthodox, and has aided in the universalization of Vaishnavism.

Published: June 2022

Bugünkü Suriye toprakları tarih boyunca önemini muhafaza etmiştir. Jeo-stratejik konumundan dolayı dönemin güç faktörlerinin ilgisini çeken bölge pek çok kez istilalara maruz kalmıştır. Türklerin göçleri esnasında bölgeyi yurt edinmeleri Türk tarihi araştırmacılarının ilgisini bu coğrafyaya sevk etmektedir. IX. Yüzyıldan itibaren artan göçler ve gelenlerin buradaki faaliyetleri bölgenin gelecekteki siyasi haritasını şekillendirmiştir. Ne var ki ilk gelen gruplar hakkında malumat oldukça kısıtlıdır. Bazı Beylerin adları günümüze hiç ulaşamamış bazıları ise çeşitli değişimlere uğramıştır. Şimdiye kadar pek çok eserde Amacur et-Türkî şekliyle yaygınlaşan isim kaynaklardaki bilgiler karşılaştırıldığında bu telaffuzun Türkçeye uygun olmadığı saptanmıştır. O halde Şam’da en yetkili Türk devlet adamlarından birinin adı ne olmalıdır? Araştırmamız bu meraktan doğan bir hareketin ürünüdür. Müstakil bir çalışmaya rastlanmayan bu konu Suriye’deki Türk kimliği bakımından oldukça önemlidir. Hayatına dair bilgiler birkaç kaynakla sınırlı olsa da Emen-Çor ve akrabalarının Fergana’dan Mısır’a, Suriye’den Şiraz’a uzanan faaliyetleri dikkat çekmektedir. Çalışmamızın hedefi daha önce farklı konular dâhilinde ele alınan Türk gulâm Emen-Çor ve efradının Türk tarihindeki yerini yâd etmektedir. Zira Arap kaynaklarındaki bir takım ham bilgilerin değerlendirilmeye alınmasıyla oluşacak yeni bakış açısı Türklerin Suriye’ye yerleşme çabalarına ışık tutacaktır.
AYDIN NAZİLLİ’DE BULUNAN SALUR DAMGALI MEZAR TAŞLARI
Authors: KILAVUZ Bülent Nuri , ADAK Mutlu
Published: June 2022

İnsanoğlunun hayatında ölüm çok önemli anlardan biridir. İnsan topluluklarının inanışlarına göre boyut değiştirme, yok olma, başka kılığa bürünme gibi ölüme verilen değer ya da ölümden beklenti zamana, mekâna ve kültüre göre değişmektedir. Ölünün gömülmesi geleneği ve ölüm ile ilgili âdetler de aynı şekildedir. Türklerin kadim kültüründe ölüm ve gömü gelenekleri çok önemlidir. Bunu destanlar başta olmak üzere kaynaklarda, kurgan gibi mezarlarda görmek mümkündür. Bu nedenle mezar taşı hakketmek(işlemek, kazımak) eski Türklerden itibaren süregelen bir gelenektir. Mezar taşları birçok disipline yönelik zengin bir kaynaktır. Dikkatli incelendiğinde tarih, sosyoloji, sanat tarihi, edebiyat, arkeoloji gibi disiplinler için bazı önemli sorulara cevaplar barındırmaktadır. Bu noktada damgalar dikkati çekmektedir. Damga, Türk insanının çeşitli nedenlerle ürettiği ve taşa, eşyaya, hayvanlarına işlediği önemli sembollerdir.

Bu çalışmada Salur Boyu damgası taşıyan mezar taşları incelenmiştir. Mezarlara işlenen bu semboller Orta Asya Türklerinden itibaren mezar taşlarına kazınmaktadır. Bu damgalı mezar taşları geleneğin başlaması, sürdürülmesi ve İslamiyet sonrası Anadolu’ya taşınması açısından değerlidir. Aydın ili Nazilli ilçesinde XIV. yüz yıla tarihlenen bu mezar taşları Salur Boyundan kişilere aittir. Salur Boyunun yerleşim alanlarını ve Aydın’daki ilk Türk yerleşimlerinden biri göstermesi açısından Anadolu Türk tarihi ve sanat tarihi için önemli bir kaynaktır. Bu nedenle çalışmada Türklerde mezar geleneği, damga, damga kazımak, damganın kullanım nedenleri, kullanım alanları, Salur boyu, Anadolu’ya taşınması ve Batı Anadolu’daki Salurların yerleşimi tahlil edilerek çıkarımlarda bulunulmuştur.

Ayrıca Beşir Ayvazoğlu’nun ifadesiyle; “Mezarlar ve mezarlıklar vatanlaşma macerasının somut şahitleridir…” Bu mezar taşları bize, Anadolu’nun fethi, Batı Anadolu’nun vatan haline getirilmesi sürecinde Salur boylarının varlık gösterdiğini göstermektedir. Bunun yanında XIV. yüz yılda Oğuz boylarının yurt tuttukları yerler arasında Aydın’ın da olduğunu göstermesi açısından değerli bir malzemedir.
BOZKIR TÜRK KÜLTÜRÜNDE KUTLU YIŞ VE KU-TU

Published: June 2022

Eski Çağ medeniyetlerinin birçoğu yaşam alanlarında karşılaştıkları ve kendileri açısından esrarengiz, güçlü veya olağanüstü olarak tanımladıkları varlıkları mitolojik birer unsur olarak görmüş ve onların birtakım gizli güçlere sahip olduğuna inanmışlardır. Çoğu halk inanışlarının bir ürünü olarak karşımıza çıkan bu mitolojik varlıkların, sahip oldukları güçler sayesinde insanlara iyilik yapabildikleri gibi kötülüklerinin de dokunabileceğine olan inanış ise bu Eski Çağ medeniyetleri arasında yaygın bir anlayış olarak yer almıştır. Dünyanın farklı coğrafyalarında Eski Çağlardan itibaren kadim bir millet olarak yer alan bozkır Türkleri de Kült olarak tanımlayabileceğimiz bu gizli güçlerin varlığına inanmışlar ve onlara saygı gösterme konusunda itinalı bir tavır sergilemişlerdir. Tarih sahnesine çıktıkları bozkır coğrafyasının doğal bir sonucu olarak konargöçer bir hayat süren Türkler için hayatlarının her alanında karşılaştıkları tabiat oluşumları ise mitolojik olarak kabul ettikleri varlıkların en önemlileri arasında yer almıştır. İşte bu çalışmanın ilk amacı Yer-su kültleri içerisinde en önemlilerden kabul edilen Dağ ve Orman kültlerinin beraber oluşturduğu Kutlu Yış anlayışını ortaya koymaktır. Kutlu Yış’ın ve bu kutsal ormanlı dağlarda yaşadığına inanılan efsanevi Ku-tu hayvanın bozkır Türk kültüründeki yeri ve önemi ise çalışmamızın bir diğer amacıdır.
Att skriva transhistoria
Authors: Holmqvist Sam
Published: June 2022

This article discusses transgender history, and argues for a broad understanding of such. The first part contains a discussion on cis normativity and historical research, specifically within women’s and gender studies. Certain stereotypical explanations of gender transgressive experiences, in particular the so-called ”passing woman” are examined as part of a certain feminist heritage. In this particular line of research, cross-dressing is considered an emancipatory practice where cisgender women disguise themselves as men in order to escape the boundaries of patriarchal society. The article does not contest the occurrence of such experiences, but argues for more, and more nuanced, understandings of sex and gender. The second part of the article considers five Swedish gender transgressive persons: Anders Magnus Åhrman (also Anna Maria, 1777-unknown date of death), Lasse-Maja (Lars Larsson Molin, 1785–1845), Aron Forss (1807–1854), Andreas Bruce (1808–1885), and Carl August/Helga Lundström (1862–1915). One of the key arguments is that such cases should not be analysed only on the basis of assigned sex. Such assumptions of sex and gender identities are problematic in several ways. For example, they leave out important areas of research by viewing the experiences of transfeminine persons as ”male”. Also, they ignore more complex and non-binary understandings that have been available for recognizing, articulating and interpreting sex and gender before the 20th Century. Through other departures, the article argues, it is possible to more fully apprehend both the conditions of gender transgressions and the ways in which sex and gender have been understood through history.

This study analyses how sick leave among women and men are related to patterns of gender equality in the workplace. The study is based on register data from the Longitudinal Integration Database for Health Insurance and Labor Studies (LISA ), and includes 520 workplaces for 134 450 people. Indicators of gender equality in the workplace consist of women to men ratio in terms of number of employees, salaries, education and parental leave. Cluster analysis is used to identify patterns of gender equality. Differences in women’s and men’s sick leave are analysed by chi-square test and logistic regression analyses. The analysis compares sick leave between six clusters of workplaces with different patterns of gender equality: 1) unequal with higher scores for men, 2) majority of women and equal salary, 3) equal salary and more parental leave for men, 4) unequal with equal representation, 5) equal in divergent spheres, 6) traditionally unequal. None of the clusters were completely gender equal, but the result of the analysis shows that the most gender equal workplaces have the lowest level of sick leave. For both women and for men, the odds for sick leave are higher in workplaces with a majority of women that otherwise are relatively gender equal. For men, the odds for sick leave were higher at traditionally gender unequal workplaces. An equal representation of women and men in the workplace does not necessarily imply gender equality in other aspects such as salary, education and parental leave. More gender equal workplaces yet have lower risk of sick leave for both women and men, even though women consistently have higher rates of sick leave. A multidimensional approach to gender inequality in the workplace is important for understanding the skewed distribution of sickness absence between women and men in the general population.

This article examines how ethnicity is articulated in relation to gender mainstreaming in maternity care in Sweden, and how this affects the treatment of the parents-to-be. It draws on interviews and observations with midwives, physicians, psychologists and counsellors at four maternity clinics in different regions of Sweden. While the aim of being gender equal and inclusive forms part of the institutional self-image, the study shows that this ambition is not realised at the everyday level. At the clinics, gender mainstreaming is equated with encouraging partners/men to be present and engaged during pregnancy. However, using intersectionality as an analytical framework, we show that depending on ethnic background, men’s presence and involvement are understood both as an expression and as a failure of gender equality, mirroring racialized conceptions of different masculinities and femininities. In conclusion, we argue that to be successful, gender mainstreaming strategies to increase the inclusion of partners/men in maternity health care need to take racialized discourses into account and adopt an intersectional approach.
Den okroppsliga kunskapssynens politik
Authors: Sjögren Hanna
Published: June 2022

This article explores the relation between politics and epistemology in Swedish higher education by focusing on the notion of ”sustainable development”. As a concept that relates to environmental change, sustainable development addresses the link between the personal and the global level. The article discusses why university teachers regard sustainable development as a problematic notion in higher education practices. The aim of the article is to conduct a feminist analysis of the contemporary relation between epistemology and politics in Swedish higher education. Two epistemological notions rooted in feminist epistemological theory are used throughout the analysis: “situated knowledges” (Haraway 2008) and “transcorporeality” (Alaimo 2010). Empirically, the article draws on examples from focus group discussions with teachers at eight Swedish universities. Two balancing acts are identified in the discussions: one is about the role of the teaching body at the border between the private and the public, and the other is about the reach of education at the border between a request for change and status quo. I argue that environmental issues become problematic to handle in educational practices because 1) they transgress the boundaries between the private and public sphere and 2) they challenge understandings of what legitimate knowledge is. Furthermore, these problems relate to contemporary understandings of environmental problems as “post-political” (Mouffe 2008). In conclusion, I suggest that it is only by “staying with the trouble” (Haraway 2008), and by formulating positions that are situated and transcorporeal, that we can attend to a more inclusive understanding of knowledge in higher education.
Den opassliga hustrun

Published: June 2022

This article investigates the possibilities for a corporate wife to create a room of her own, beyond the duties that follow such a position. Previous research has often focused on the public/private divide regarding family businesses. With the example of Hedda Ekman, the wife of corporate owner Johan Ekman, it is here argued that the female body is crucial to the families of corporate dynasties during the late 1880s to early 1900s, an era characterized by industrial capitalism. The order of succession is essential to the persistence of the family business, which brings the question of reproduction to the fore. Through the narrative of one particular corporate wife, Hedda Ekman, and with Foucault’s notion of subject positions, the article discusses class, gender and sexuality. With the female body as the point of departure the demarcation between business and family is thus put into question.

 Introduction: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is more widely recognized as a valuable treatment method for benign and malignant tumours.

 Aim: This study reviews over 20-year experience with laparoscopic adrenalectomy in children in Central-West Poland.

 Materials and methods: During the last 21 years, 5041 laparoscopic procedures were performed, among them 39 adrenalectomies in children aged from 2 days to 17 years. The following data were analysed: patient's age at diagnosis and surgery, lesion volume in CT/MRI examination, duration of surgery, the incidence of complication after surgery, and length of hospitalization.

 Results: The volume of adrenal lesion visualized by CT or MRI before surgery varied from 0.5 cm3 up to 490 cm3, with a median of 14 cm3. As many as 80% of adrenalectomies allowed radical removal of the lesion and 92% of those procedures were performed without any complications. From all data analysed, only age, both at diagnosis and at surgery, was significantly lower in patients with a malignant lesion.

 Conclusions: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is a valuable method to use in paediatric patients for both benign and malignant adrenal lesions. However, in patients with malignant adrenal lesions it may be expected that the procedure will be more difficult due to the lower age and larger lesion size.

Introduction: Mobile posturography is based on wearable inertial sensors; it allows to test static stability (static posturography) and gait disturbances.

 Aim: The aim of this work was to present the results of research on the innovative MEDIPOST system used for diagnosis and rehabilitation of balance disorders.

 Material and methods: Fourteen articles published in influenced foreign journals were presented and discussed. The deve-lopment and construction of the device was preceded by a literature review and methodological work. The Dizziness Handi-cap Inventory (DHI) questionnaire was translated and validated. The methodology of posturography with head movements with a frequency of 0.3 Hz was also developed in the group with chronic vestibular disorders. Simultaneous measurements were performed (static posturogrphy vs. MEDIPOST) in the CTSIB-M (Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance) test in healthy subjects and patients with unilateral peripheral dysfunction.

 Results: In the posturography with head movements the improvement of sensitivity (67 to 74%) and specificity (65 to 71%) was noted. In the CTSIB-M test the intraclass correlation coefficients for both methods were 0.9. The greatest differences between examinations were observed for the mean angular velocity in the tests on the foam (trials no. 3 and 4), in particular on the foam with eyes closed (trial no. 4 – sensitivity 86.4%, specificity 87.7%). Two functional tests were analyzed: the Swap Seats test and the 360 degree turn test. In the former, the results are studied from 6 sensors – 86% of the true positives and 73% of the true negatives for the fall/ no-fall group classification. The second test differentiates people with vestibular impairment and healthy people. It can be analyzed with 1 (sensitivity 80%) and 6 sensors (sensitivity 86%, specificity 84%). Currently, the MEDIPOST device is in the development and certification phase
Otosclerosis – analysis of factors influencing the improvement of hearing after surgical treatment
Authors: Wiatr Agnieszka , Szpak Kamila , Składzień Jacek , Wiatr Maciej
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Otosclerosis is a disease that occurs only in humans, in the course of which there are foci of pathological ossification in the temporal bone. The etiology of the dise ase is not fully understood. Treatment of the conductive component of hearing loss is surgical. The results of the treatment are influenced by factors related to the surgery, the local condition of the middle ear and the function of the inner ear.

 Aim: The aim of the study is to identify factors influencing the improvement of hearing in patients treated surgically due to otosclerosis.

 Material and methods: The study included patients who underwent otosclerosis for the first middle ear surgery and under-went stapedotomy. Considering the factors that may affect the outcome of surgical treatment, the patients qualified for the analysis were divided into subgroups. All patients underwent a medical history and physical examination of otorhinolaryn-gology and a complete set of audiological examinations.

  Results: A statistically significant reduction in cochlear reserve was observed in all patients after stapedotomy. The be-neficial effect of the performed treatment on the improvement of threshold values of bone conduction in patients with mild sensorineural hearing loss was also confirmed. Intraoperative removal of adhesions present in the tympanic cavity significantly improved hearing in terms of bone conduction values, especially at 500 Hz.

  Conclusions: (1) The conducted study confirmed the influence of factors related to the local condition of the middle ear lining on the final result of otosclerosis surgery; (2) Audiometric markers of cochlear otosclerosis, observed before surgical treat-ment, are an unfavorable factor in the improvement of hearing after the performed treatment.

WOOD PROCESSING WASTE ASH (AS GEOPOLYMER BASIC INGREDIENT FOR UNDERGROUND MINE SUPPORT MATERIAL) MORPHOLOGY
Authors: Supit Jance M.
Published: June 2022

Geopolymer is made from materials that are both natural pozzolan and artificial pozzolan. Pozolan materials contain silica (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3). Both of these compounds can be found as natural materials (such as metakaolin, and volcanic material), as well as waste (eg fly ash, husk ash). The potential of forest products in the form of wood in Papua, especially Manokwari Regency, is very abundant, as well as its utilization efforts. The processing or utilization of wood results in solid waste in the form of pieces, leftovers, and wood sawdust. This study aims to explain the geopolymer morphology of wood processing waste ash in Manokwari, from which it can be used as buffer material. By using SEM-EDX in the analysis, the results showed that the size of the ash grain of wood processing waste was ≤100 µm (from Merbau wood or mixed wood). The elements contained in the ashes of Merbau wood waste consist of O, Ca, C, Si, K, Mg, Al, Cu, Fe, and S. Meanwhile, mixed wood waste ash contains O, Ca, C, Si, K, Mg, Al, Fe, Na, and S. Wood processing waste in Manokwari Regency has the potential to be used as the basis for making geopolymer because it dominantly contains Si and Al elements.

Background: Cervical cancer is an AIDS-defining malignancy and the second commonest cancer in Nigeria. The burden of cervical cancer is higher among HIV-infected women compared to HIV negative women. Objectives: The aim of the study is to describe the characteristics and outcome of treatment of HIV-infected women with cervical cancer. To our knowledge, this is the first report on their survival outcomes and associated predictors after oncology care from north-eastern Nigeria. Methodology: This was a retrospective study with a prospective follow-up of HIV-infected women with cervical cancer attended at Federal Teaching Hospital Gombe, between March 2013 to March 2017. Data extraction form was used to record data on demographic and disease characteristics, treatment received and 24-months follow-up. Analysis was done using descriptive statistics, Kaplan Meier survival and Cox regression methods. Results: Thirty-one patients were attended to during the study period, their mean age was 41.1 years (range, 31-53). The median CD4+ cells count before commencing treatment was 273 cells/mm3 (range, 100 –564 cells/mm3). Seventeen patients 17/31 (54.8%) had poor WHO performance status – grade 3-4, and 23/31 (74.2%) patients presented with advanced-stage disease 2B and above. All the patients were on Antiretroviral therapy (ART), none had surgical excision of the tumour or hysterectomy. The patients had either radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, or no treatment. The 1-year and 2-year overall survival rates were 35.5% and 22.6% respectively. CD4 count and tumour response were associated with survival [Log-rank X2 = 9.149; p-value = 0.002] and [Log-rank X2 = 5.955; p-value = 0.015] respectively. And low CD4 counts was a determinant of survival [HR=3.8; 95%CI=1.443-10.176]. Conclusion: Most of our patients presented with advanced disease and poor performance status, as such they had poor response to treatment and survival rates. Therefore, cervical cancer screening and treatment should be integrated into HIV programmes to encourage early detection and treatment.
