Authors: Khalid Sobia , Anwar Sadia , Qureshi Qandeela Irum , Umar Saima , Bibi Najma , Ghafoor Maria
Published: May 2024

Background: Macrosomia or big baby is defined as a newborn with a birth weight of more than 4kg. Amniotic fluid index (AFI) which is estimated by adding length of deepest vertical pool in four corners of liquor in uterus is an indicator of fetal well-being. This parameter when combined with ultrasonographic estimated fetal weight can predict macrosomia accurately. Objective: To evaluate diagnostic accuracy of integrated examination with amniotic fluid index (AFI) and estimated fetal weight (EFW) for prediction of macrosomia. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Settings: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Rawalpindi Pakistan. Duration: 6 months from 29th October 2019 to 28th April 2020. Methods: After meeting the inclusion criteria 250 females were enrolled. All patients underwent sonographic evaluation for AFI and EFW estimation. Patients were categorized as positive or negative for macrosomia. Then all females were followed-up in OPD till delivery. If birth weight was ≥4000 grams, then macrosomia was confirmed. Results: The average age of the females was 27.21 ± 4.59 years, there were 55(22%) females as nulliparous. The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of integrated examination of AFI & EFW were 50%, 98.78%, & 98% for definition of macrosomia as base line. Conclusion: This study showed good diagnostic accuracy of integrated amniotic fluid index and ultrasound baby weight estimates as predictor of macrosomia having low sensitivity.

Chapter 3 – Criminological Perspectives on the Toronto 18
Authors: Gaudette Tiana , Davies Garth , Scrivens Ryan
Published: May 2024

Historically, research in terrorism studies has drawn from a variety of disciplines including, but not limited to, political science, psychology, and security studies. More recently, however, researchers have argued that criminological approaches can and should inform terrorism studies as well. In this chapter, we apply four criminological perspectives to the case of the Toronto 18: the general strain theory of terrorism, social learning theory, situational crime prevention, and situational action theory. Drawing from news media accounts and court documents as well as extensive personal and background details about the offenders, we examine what inspired members of the Toronto 18 to join the cell, as well as the internal dynamics of the cell and why they selected certain targets, all through a criminological lens. The complexities of the Toronto 18 cases clearly demonstrate why it would be unrealistic at best, and foolhardy at worst, to expect any single orientation to “explain” terrorism. But used in concert, criminological theories and perspectives clearly have a role to play in advancing our understanding of the dynamics of terrorism.

Fundamentally Flawed: The Arbitrariness of the Corporal Punishment Defence
Authors: Carter Mark
Published: May 2024

In Canadian Foundation for Children, Youth and the Law v Canada (Attorney General), the Supreme Court of Canada upheld the corporal punishment defence contained in s. 43 of the Criminal Code in the face of arguments that it is an unreasonable infringement of children’s rights under ss. 7, 12, and 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In the process of giving precision to the terms of s. 43 as a prelude to its s. 7 vagueness analysis, the majority indicated that the purpose of the section is to allow only the kind of force against children that has “corrective value” as determined primarily by the weight of expert evidence. The author argues that the Supreme Court’s subsequent recognition of arbitrariness as a distinct fundamental justice concern under s. 7 in Bedford v Canada (Attorney General) meets the “new legal issue” standard for reconsidering previous declarations of validity established in Bedford. The author also argues that since 2004, changes in global attitudes and expert opinion in relation to corporal punishment have “fundamentally shift[ed] the parameters of the debate” which is the second Bedford test for reconsidering previous declarations of validity. Engaging the new arbitrariness framework and the importance that it places on the purposes of laws, the author argues that s. 43 is unconstitutionally arbitrary. Contemporary expert opinion recognizes no corrective value associated with corporal punishment. Because s. 43’s objective is unachievable, there is no rational connection between it and the limit that it imposes on the children’s security interests.
Year in Review
Authors: Ireland David
Published: May 2024

2020 was defined by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has changed how we live, work, and interact with one another. 2020 was also notable in witnessing Canadian society adapt and respond to broader social movements calling for change. Decisions from both the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) and the Manitoba Court of Appeal (MBCA) have responded to these shifting social norms by recognizing broad systemic issues pervasive in the justice system and society-at-large. There is much to celebrate when courts venture into these waters, but the age-old polemic of judicial activism is sure to follow when courts raise their voices beyond the confines of legal doctrine. This article comments on some of the most important cases decided in this unique and turbulent year in Canada.
We examine the jurisprudence of the MBCA and the SCC in February 2020 through February 2021, inclusive, with the goal of highlighting recent changes and developments in the criminal law. Where relevant, some appeals that fall outside of this period will be discussed due to their significance to the law. Further, using the framework and parameters developed in previous Robsoncrim “Year in Review” articles, we have attached an appendix of statistical infographics which highlight statistical findings of the decisions of the SCC and MBCA between the period of February 2020 and February 2021.
In 2020, the SCC also appears to have continued its trend of limiting full written decisions, preferring instead to issue extremely brief judgments. While clear and succinct legal writing is to be encouraged, there can be little doubt that fulsome reasons are required to guide lower courts’ decision-making. Under Chief Justice Wagner, the SCC continues to offer plenty of dissenting opinions and disagreement within the Court; all of it, however, appears more “tightly packaged” than under the previous tenure of Chief Justice McLachlin. It remains to be seen if this warm embrace of brevity is to be celebrated or if a lack of detailed analysis breeds confusion in the courts below.
Algorithmic Policing Technologies in Canada
Authors: Singh Shawn
Published: May 2024

Canadian law enforcement agencies are applying algorithmic technologies to identify individuals at the regional, provincial, and federal levels. These technologies connect templated facial images to an array of informational fragments that are collected from databases scattered between the public and private sectors. While that is the case, these surveillance technologies continue to be authorized under SCC jurisprudence, as opposed to legislation enacted by Parliament. Algorithmic technologies collate and analyze disparate information from public and private databases to identify patterns, which are then used to generate formulas to ‘predict’ future trends. Kate Robertson and colleagues explain that implementation of APTs by Canadian police services holds serious deleterious potential for the Charter rights of Canadians, with consequences that disproportionately affect people of colour. Be that as it may, the most malevolent consequence of applying APTs may be their application of generalized formulas to generate recommendations used to intercept individuals based on biased and inaccurate information. Although not authorized by statute, surveillance technologies continue to be permissible under common law authorities. Richard Jochelson explains the inappropriate nature of this approach, arguing in the alternative that the court’s traditional role calls for application of the Oakes test to determine if state surveillant practices fall within its constitutional limits. Considering APT’s serious implications for Charter protected rights, this paper calls on legislators to implement dedicated legislation to govern the use of surveillant technologies in law enforcement, with a particular focus on regulating the use of APTs. Failure to do so risks an unprecedented expansion of prejudicial policing practices, which may act to crystallize the existing biases in law enforcement practices into objective ‘scientific’ outputs that may hold serious deleterious potential for Canada’s most vulnerable populations.
Indigenous Oral History Reader
Authors: Schwartz Bryan P.
Published: May 2024

The oral history of Indigenous people in Canada has been recognized by mainstream legal systems in Canada over the past few decades as being of fundamental importance in court cases and negotiations with Indigenous peoples. As Indigenous peoples further exercise their right to self-government, they will continue drawing their oral traditions to define and develop their autonomous legal system.
 
This anthology attempts to collect a wide variety of materials that embody many perspectives. It attempts to place those materials within a conceptual framework that might be helpful in looking at Indigenous oral history, and indeed oral history generally. That framework includes viewing oral history in three dimensions of time -  testimony about recent events, oral histories that encompass an individual's lifetime, and oral traditions that are passed down from generation to generation. The framework includes looking at oral history in the context of how many cultures and traditions incorporate oral history in their legal systems and cultures. It asks both how values and methods differ among communities and how they reflect widespread or virtually universal tendencies. The framework also invites the reader to consider the different ways in which oral evidence can or should be reinforced or qualified by references to other sources of information, such as other oral evidence, documentary testimony and physical evidence of various kinds.
 
It is hoped that this collection will be of assistance to others in studying or developing their own teaching materials in this dynamic area.

Authors: Farah Hanivea Alfadhillah  , Aan Julia
Published: May 2024

Fluctuations in the price of basic commodities have an impact on public unrest through a decrease in purchasing power, a decrease in the agricultural sector's GDP, and inflation. The Government's role is to maintain the stability of staple food prices to control prices in the market by analyzing price fluctuation patterns and forecasting prices of staple goods in the coming period to anticipate policies taken and make plans to avoid uncontrolled price fluctuations. Using quantitative research methods with analytical descriptives it can be seen that the data patterns and staple materials are the most volatile. The variable used is time series data of 9 staple food prices which were processed using the coefficient of variation analysis method which was operated using Microsoft Excel 2013. The results of data processing concluded that the staple commodities which often experience uncontrolled price fluctuations are red chilies, bird's eye chilies, shallots, and cooking oil. The reason is because the three highest staples whose values ​​fluctuate the most are agricultural commodities which are affected by the harvest period, weather, and shelf life which cannot last long. The fluctuation pattern occurs near the fasting month before Eid and when Christmas and New Year celebrations, staple foods tend to fluctuate. While the high cooking oil commodity is due to the phenomenon of the increase in world palm oil. The appropriate policy taken by the Government is to periodically control and participate in confirming and mapping national food production areas, maintaining supply and distribution, and educating consumers about rising prices of basic commodities.

Published: May 2024

Di antara faktor penyebeb terjadinya dekadensi moral peserta didik adalah minimnya keteladanan dari orang tua, guru, individu dan komunitas masyarkat, dan para pemimpin. Era suprainformasi ini pun memberikan dampak yang cukup signifikan, sebab peserta didik dihadapkan pada peniruan melalui media masa dan elektronik, dan termasuk manusia mempunyai fitrah ghazirah yang cenderung meniru orang lain. Oleh karena itu, pemahaman mendalam tentang konsep dan hakikat uswah hasanah dalam perspektif pendidikan Islam sudah menjadi suatu keniscayaan dikuasi yang kemudian diimplementasikan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif analitik kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsep uswah hasanah (keteladanan yang baik) menjadi salah satu komponen inti dalam transfromasi konten pendidikan Islam yang berlandaskan pada Q.S. Al-Ahzab: 21 dan hadis bahwa akhlak Rasulullah saw. adalah Alquran. Uswah hasanah dianggap sebagai metode pendidikan Islam yang paling efektif dan berpengaruh pada kebiasaan, sikap, hingga menjadi tindakan. Urgensi konsep uswah hasanah dalam kehidupan adalah sebagai bukti ketaan pada Allah dan Rasulullah saw. Dan bangsa yang berperadaban baik dimulai dari individu yang baik. Adapun pengembangan model penanaman nilai karakter melalui peneladanan dapat dilakukan dengan keteladanan dan pembiasaan baik yang disengaja ataupun tidak. Serta, implikasi pedagogik metode uswah hasanah ini  menunjukkan bahwa pendidik adalah pewaris pada nabi, pendidikan adalah uswah hasanah, dan keteladanan itu dimulai dari diri sendiri.

Active versus passive learning: Comparative case study of problem-solving competencies in stoichiometry
Authors: Mamombe Charles , Mathabathe Kgadi C.
Published: May 2024

Teaching methods can help learners to develop problem-solving skills and enhance their achievement in stoichiometry. Process oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) is one of the teaching methods that promote problem-solving skills because it provides opportunities for learners to work with many formulae through many steps in solving problems such as stoichiometric calculations of number of moles and concentration of solutions. To understand how POGIL can improve learners’ achievement and develop problem-solving skills, four grade 11 physical sciences classes of mixed gender and multicultural black learners were purposefully and conventional sampled from four different township schools in Pretoria, South Africa. Through pre- and post-test case study and lesson observations, two different independent groups (POGIL group and lecture group) were included in the study. POGIL group constituted 48 students, while lecture group 62 students taught by their respective teachers at their schools for three weeks using English second language. The results from the pre-test suggest that learners in all the four classes lacked problem-solving competencies in solving both the low-order and the high-order stoichiometry questions. According to the research interpretation, lesson observations of POGIL were active learning while lecture method was passive learning. The post-test results indicate statistically significant greater problem-solving competencies in POGIL group than in the lecture group. The study recommends the use of POGIL in teaching stoichiometry.

The application was evaluated through expert reviews and user testing, receiving high validity scores for content, design, and educational impact. The implications of this study underscore the effectiveness of tailored educational technologies in addressing specific learning needs. The PODclusive application exemplifies how digital tools can enhance accessibility and engagement for deaf students, suggesting that further exploring similar technologies could be beneficial. This research contributes to the broader discourse on inclusive education, advocating for more innovative approaches to support diverse learning environments.
The Factors of the Distribution of Grammatical Categories and Phenomena in Contemporary Czech
Authors:   Korean Association Of Slavic Languages, f f
Published: May 2024

As to the application of the grammar within communication, we distinguish between two contingencies: a) grammatical categories which attach to the objective reality (verbal tenses, number, gender etc.), b) those which do not (in Czech for example the category of case). The relation between grammar and objective reality is not naturally rectilinear and troublefree. It could be complicated by various factors - not only the different type of language but also actualization which we comprehend as the unusual application of a grammatical form (often in order to gain more expressive term) - for example the sentence in the future tense Budeš psát (You will write) functions as that in the stressed imperative mood. To speakers with the advanced knowledge of Czech it is possible to present also special unmarked grammatical categories where a respective grammatical form can have more than one meaning. In the sentence Studuje český a německý jazyk (He studies Czech and German languages) the word jazyk (language) has the form of singular but the meaning of plural. There are many factors which influence the adequate choice of a grammatical category. In this respect the semantics are applied to a large extend and in various ways. The important role can be also played by number and so-called signal words which need the usage of a concrete morphological category (for example after the adverb včera (yesterday) must the preterite tense follow). From the linguo-didactic point of view this theme is very important and it is necessary to go on working it out.
AI-Driven Solutions for a Low-Carbon Transition: Evaluating Effectiveness and Limitations in Climate Change Mitigation
Authors: Huang Xinyi
Published: May 2024

Climate change, primarily caused by human activities, poses a significant global challenge. Countries worldwide are integrating efforts to combat climate change through initiatives such as the Paris Agreement and setting targets to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. This paper explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) as a promising solution to address climate change, particularly through the analysis of mass data. AI can aid in environmental decision-making processes, optimize renewable energy use, and accelerate the global transition to a low-carbon economy. Using public data from the OECD, the study investigates the effectiveness of AI in promoting a low-carbon economy by examining its impact on greenhouse gas emissions, carbon footprint, investment in research and development, renewable energy production, and recycling rates. The findings suggest that AI has been considerably effective in supporting the growth of renewable energy and recycling while restraining gas emissions and carbon footprint. However, the study also identifies potential limitations, such as the carbon release from AI itself, and suggests further improvements to AI models.

Published: May 2024

This project involved the design and construction of an electric heat treatment furnace using locally sourced materials. The design process included extensive research on existing designs, the creation of detailed CAD models, and the careful selection of refractory materials. All materials used for the design and production were locally sourced in Warri, Nigeria. The fabrication process encompassed cutting, drilling, welding, and assembling the components, resulting in a high-quality and durable furnace. The heat treatment furnace, designed and fabricated, successfully achieved a performance of 1,000°C. The furnace was lined with a refractory composed of clay and white cement in a ratio of 3:1, with a thickness of 150mm. Additionally, an initial lining layer of 100mm fire-resistant rock-wool, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1,400°C, was applied. To monitor and control the temperature, a digital temperature and time control/monitor unit, along with a temperature sensor, were installed in the furnace. The project was successfully completed at a cost of N247,200.00, significantly cheaper than imported alternatives, and proved efficient during testing.

Millions of people worldwide suffer with acne vulgaris, a common skin ailment marked by the development of comedones, papules, pustules, and in more severe cases, nodules and cysts. There has been a boom in research into alternative remedies, especially herbal pharmaceuticals, due to growing resistance to traditional therapy and side effects associated with long-term use. Two well-known herbs with strong anti-acne effects are Ocimum gratissimum (scent leaf/ African basil) and Azadirachta indica (neem). The purpose of this review is to assess Azadirachta indica and Ocimum gratissimum's medicinal potential for acne vulgaris. We examine the phytochemistry of these herbs, emphasizing their potent components, which include thymol, eugenol, azadirachtin, nimbidin, and nimbin. These compounds have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant qualities that make them useful in the treatment of acne. Finally, clinical studies examining the safety and effectiveness of topical formulations derived from Azadirachta indica and Ocimum gratissimum are reviewed, emphasizing their potential as monotherapies or adjuncts to conventional treatments. In summary, Azadirachta indica and Ocimum gratissimum represent promising candidates for the development of novel, effective, and safe herbal therapies for acne vulgaris, offering a natural alternative for people seeking sustainable and holistic approaches to skincare.

Due to their potential to enhance drug delivery, floating tablets have become more significant in pharmaceutical formulation. In the upper GIT, where the environment is acidic, tablets absorbs poorly. The bioavailability shows 50% when administer orally. An H2-receptor antagonist called tablets is frequently prescribed to treat gastrointestinal issues brought on by excess stomach acid. With the right excipients and polymers, floating tablets are meant to float on the contents of stomach Over an extended length of time, extending medication release and bioavailability. This review examines the advantages, disadvantages, and in vitro or in-vivo evaluation of famotidine floating tablets with an emphasis on their potential to improve treatment outcomes and patient compliance.

Legal Protection of Linguistic Minority under Discrimination: The Case of Anglophone Cameroon
Authors: Donard Kome
Published: May 2024

The minority English-speaking population in Cameroon, where French is the majority language, has a number of political, economic, and social complaints that collectively make up the "Anglophone problem." These grievances are described using the terms discrimination, marginalization, and second-class citizenship. The right to speak English in Cameroon must always be upheld as a fundamental right. To protect the rights of minorities, Cameroon has established a number of laws. Since Cameroon and many other countries have ratified a number of human rights instruments, it is the state's duty to safeguard all the rights guaranteed by these instruments, including those of minorities. As demonstrated by the current crisis, another escalation in that cycle, there are several political systemic deficiencies that need to be closed if Cameroon is to grow as a single nation. Greater localized control over political and financial resources might be necessary to achieve this. In order to better serve the needs of citizens, existing institutions and leadership structures must become more accommodating.
