Published: May 2022

Bagi industri manufaktur memberikan jaminan terhadap ketersediaan produk merupakan hal yang sangat krusial agar tingkat delivery terhadap permintaan produk dapat tercapai dengan tingkat service level yang baik. Akan tetapi untuk mencapai service level yang tinggi dibutuhkan tingkat produktivitas yang tinggi agar tetap terjaga supply service level dari manufaktur ke demand customer. PT. XYZ selama ini memiliki permasalahan yang sering terjadi terkait dengan tingkat produktivitas yang masih dibawah dari target yang ditentukan dan berdasarkan data historis produktivitas sepanjang tahun 2020 pencapaian tingkat Produksi dari bulan januari sampai dengan Desember masih dibawah dari target dengan rata-rata pencapaian sebesar 75%. Hal ini menyebabkan gangguan terhadap supply service level manufaktur ke customer rendah juga dengan aktualnya masih dibawah 99%. Tentu saja ini berdampak pada kerugian-kerugian yang terjadi akibat kehilangan penjualan ke pelanggan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah bagaimana meningkatkan produktivitas agar tercapai tingkat supply service level yang tinggi. Metode penyelesaian permasalahan tingkat produktivitas yang rendah pada perusahaan tersebut dengan menggunakan pendekatan metode PDCA DELTA. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan metode tersebut ditemukan bahwa tingkat produktivitas yang rendah disebabkan oleh tingkat availability time yang rendah. Ketersedian waktu yang rendah ini diakibatkan oleh tingginya tingkat downtime mesin. Perbaikan terhadap tingkat down time yang terjadi dapat meningkatkan availability time dari 69 % menjadi menjadi 74 %, walaupun ada peningkatan sebesar 5 % akan tetapi berdampak pada tingkat produktivitas yang meningkat dari 75 % di tahun 2020 menjadi rata-rata 83 % di tahun 2021.
La responsabilidad del Estado con ocasión a las omisiones legislativas a partir de la Constitución Política de Colombia de 1991
Authors: Peña Cuellar Diana Marcela , Vidal Lasso Astrid Daniela , Puyo Cárdenas Jesús David
Published: May 2022

La Constitución de 1991 generó contenidos obligacionales a las ramas del poder público y estableció los elementos de la responsabilidad del Estado. Al Congreso le endilgó la obligación de formular las leyes y a la Corte Constitucional, ser guardiana e intérprete de la Constitución, por lo que, tiene la facultad de declarar la existencia de omisiones legislativas y exhortar a la rama legislativa a proferir leyes en virtud de salvaguardar la supremacía constitucional, tal como sucede con el derecho fundamental a morir dignamente. En consecuencia, la pregunta de investigación que se planteó es ¿De qué manera la Constitución colombiana de 1991 y las sentencias exhortativas de la Corte Constitucional prevén un contenido obligacional que permite declarar la responsabilidad del Estado con ocasión a la existencia de una omisión legislativa?, para dar respuesta a este interrogante se empleó una metodología de tipo cualitativo con base en fuentes primarias y secundarias, atendiendo al análisis jurisprudencial de sentencias de la Corte Constitucional y el Consejo de Estado. El estudio permitió concluir que, en los eventos en que la Corte le ha otorgado un plazo al Congreso para regular ciertos asuntos, y si al paso del tiempo, la omisión persiste, es procedente buscar la responsabilidad estatal en la medida que su contenido obligacional estuvo delimitado temporalmente y además respaldado por situaciones fácticas constitutivas de daño antijurídico.

Los datos disponibles de farmacovigilancia de las vacunas contra la COVID-19 en Latinoamérica son limitados. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la frecuencia de los eventos adversos posteriores a la vacunación (EAPV) con la primera y la segunda dosis contra la COVID-19 en estudiantes de medicina de Cali (Colombia), en el 2021. Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal en adultos voluntarios que habían recibido al menos una dosis de la vacuna BNT162b2 de Pfizer-BioNTech, y que respondieron una encuesta electrónica. De los invitados, 292 adultos con una mediana de edad de 21 años (RIC: 20-22) aceptaron participar. El 95% de ellos recibió dos dosis y el 5% una dosis, el 64,4% eran mujeres y el 76,37% reportó al menos un EAPV, todos de severidad leve. El dolor en el sitio de inyección, con un 73,6%, fue el evento más reportado. Lo siguieron EAPV sistémicos como fatiga, sueño y cefalea, con el 56,8%, 46,9% y 38,6%, respectivamente, los cuales se presentaron en mayor proporción después de la segunda dosis. Con significancia estadística, las mujeres presentaron una odds ratio de exposición mayor para dolor en el sitio de inyección y escalofríos con (OR = 1,89; IC 95%: 1,07-3,33; p = 0,01) y (OR = 3,03; IC 95%: 1,63-5,88; p = 0,0002), respectivamente, en comparación con los hombres. Otras condiciones clínicas y demográficas evaluadas no tuvieron asociación significativa con el desarrollo de eventos. Por lo tanto, en esta población, al menos un EAPV se presentó en tres de cada cuatro vacunados con BNT162b2; el dolor en el sitio de inyección, la fatiga, el sueño y el dolor de cabeza, fueron los más frecuentes. Las mujeres presentaron EAPV con más frecuencia y los EAPV sistémicos se presentaron en mayor proporción para ambos sexos tras la segunda dosis. No obstante, todos los EAPV reportados fueron leves y de corta duración.

Published: May 2022

Pemerintah Indonesia sudah menyatakan bahwa pandemi Covid-19 ini sebagai salah satu jenis penyakit yang dapat menimbulkan kedaruratan kesehatan terhadap masyarakatnya, termasuk pada industri bisnis, dalam situasi pandemi seperti saat ini sangat mengganggu kelangsungan aktivitas perjanjian dalam industri bisnis. Adanya situasi pandemi ini dapat digunakan sebagai alasan debitur untuk melakukan pengingkaran suatu perjanjian yang sudah disepakati oleh pihak kreditur menggunakan alasan force majeure (overmacht). Restrukturisasi merupakan kebijakan yang dapat dilakukan dengan mengajukan keringanan pembayaran angsuran kredit kepada bank dan perusahaan pembiayaan (multifinance). Dalam penulisan jurnal ini penulis melakukan penelitian tentang kebijakan yang perlu dikeluarkan saat keadaan bukan disebabkan karena wanprestasi tetapi, disebabkan karena force majeure/overmacht di mana debitur tidak bisa melaksanakan kewajibannya/perjanjian meskipun telah dilakukan restrukturisasi kredit. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan yuridis sosiologis, di mana pendekatan yang dilaksanakan berdasarkan kenyataan hukum dalam praktik nyata. Keadaan memaksa adalah suatu keadaan yang terjadi setelah dibuatnya persetujuan, yang menghalangi debitur untuk memenuhi prestasinya, yang menghalangi debitur untuk memenuhi prestasinya, di mana debitur tidak dapat dipersalahkan dan tidak harus menanggung risiko serta tidak dapat menduga pada waktu persetujuan dibuat.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sudah tepatkah pertimbangan hukum hakim dalam memutuskan kasus pemutusan hubungan kerja sepihak oleh pengusaha terhadap pekerjanya dan akibat hukum pemutusan hubungan kerja secara sepihak oleh pengusaha terhadap pekerjanya pada Putusan Nomor 100/Pdt.Sus-PHI/2019/PN.Jkt.Pst. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian deskriptif. Dalam undang-undang tersebut, penyelesaian perselisihan diselesaikan melalui lembaga bipartit, mediasi, konsiliasi atau arbitrase. Dengan statusnya sebagai pekerja tetap maka dalam hal terjadi pemutusan hubungan kerja haruslah tetap mengacu pada ketentuan perundang-undangan yang berlaku in casu Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan. Oleh karena pemutusan hubungan kerja dilakukan menyimpang dari prosedur hukum yang berlaku dan pada bagian lain pemutusan hubungan kerja tersebut bukan atas pelanggaran atau kesalahan yang dilakukan oleh Penggugat sebagaimana pertimbangan hukum sebelumnya, Majelis Hakim menghukum Tergugat untuk membayar kompensasi Pemutusan Hubungan Kerja kepada Penggugat berupa uang pesangon sebesar dua kali ketentuan Pasal 156 ayat (2), satu kali ketentuan uang penghargaan masa kerja sesuai ketentuan Pasal 156 ayat (3) dan satu kali uang penggantian hak sesuai ketentuan Pasal 156 ayat (4) Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan serta upah proses selama tiga bulan gaji.

A diagnosis is made based on medical signs and patient-reported symptoms, rather than diagnostic tests. The whole program is done and executed in Python language mainly using file operations in Python and HTML for creating webpages. This project mainly deals with how the diagnosis is made by listing out all the symptoms faced by the patients from the given diseases on the website. This project gives you the list of seven diseases spread over our country according to the WHO (World Health Organization). The seven diseases are Heart, Diabetics, Breast Cancer, Liver, Kidney, Malaria, and Pneumonia. So based on the patient givens details under a particular disease, it finds out whether the patient is having the disease or not. If the person is suffering from that particular disease it shows that person is positive with that particular disease and shows a warning that the person should consult the doctor. We also created a user-based login page where the user can create his login page, thereby creating an account that person can fill in the details. If the person is registered then that person can log in directly. The health diagnosis website was designed by using web technology and languages such as HTML & CSS and python respectively.

The latest treatment guidelines for patients with arterial hypertension continues to indicate as the first line therapy a minimal association between renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers and a thiazide-type or a thiazide-like diuretic. In addition, according to 2018 ESC/ESH (European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension) guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension, a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist may be added in resistant hypertension cases (uncontrolled hypertension under at least 3 classes of antihypertensive drugs including a RAS blocker, thiazide diuretic and a calcium channel blocker) for general population. For chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, achieving the optimal blood pressure (BP) level can be difficult because high complication rates can be encountered in any antihypertensive class mentioned, especially for RAS blockers and mineralocorticoid receptor inhibitors. This brief review aims to highlight the importance of diuretics use in CKD patients and the boundaries of their usage.
MEASUREMENT PROPERTIES OF ATTITUDES TOWARDS CREATIVE PERSONS QUESTIONNAIRE: A RELIABLE TOOL FOR UNDERSTANDING ATTITUDES TOWARDS CREATIVE PERSONS
Authors: Ordóñez Camacho Xavier , Romero Martínez Sonia
Published: May 2022

The 21st century is characterized by challenges and opportunities and become the century of creativity. This is because the individuals develop creative tools to confront the changes that they are living. In this sense the study of attitudes towards creative persons is relevant, especially in the education context, because it permits to develop intervention programs that foster better attitudes on teachers and students. For that reason, the main objective of this research is to develop a questionnaire that allows to measure the attitudes of university students towards creative persons, and, to gather evidence about its reliability and validity. This research was made through an instrumental analytical study, with a sample of students pertaining to several faculties of the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain. At first, exploratory factor analysis, with a random half of the sample, was made. Secondly, the previous structure was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The results confirm the three-dimensional structure (behavioral, affective, and cognitive dimensions). The final model exhibits an optimal fit and adequate reliability. The proposed instrument is a valid and reliable measure of the attitudes of the university students towards the creative persons.
A Dearth of Close-in Planets around Rapidly Rotating Stars or a Dearth of Data?

A dearth of close-in planets orbiting rapid rotators was reported almost a decade ago. According to this view, only slowly spinning stars with rotation periods longer than 5–10 days would host planets with orbital periods shorter than 2 or 3 days. This Letter brings an enlarged and more detailed analysis that led us to the question: Is there really a dearth in that distribution or is it a dearth of data? For this new analysis, we combined different samples of Kepler and TESS stars with confirmed planets or planet candidates with measured stellar rotation periods, using Gaia data to perform an in-depth selection of 1013 planet-hosting main-sequence stars. With the newer, enlarged, and more refined data, the reported dearth of close-in planets orbiting rapid rotators tends to disappear, thus suggesting that it may reflect a scarcity of data in the prior analysis. A two-sample statistical test strongly supports our results, showing that the distribution of close-in planets orbiting rapid rotators is almost indistinguishable from that for close-in planets orbiting slow rotators.
High lipid diet and the expression of proinflammatory markers in testis
Authors: Pencheva Mina , Koeva Ivetta , Dimitrov Iliyan , Daskalova Elena
Published: May 2022

Abstract

Introduction: Obesity is defined as chronic low-grade inflammation which is manifestation of the cellular response to a variety of stressful situations leading to organ and tissue damage. А high lipid diet could be assumed to be the trigger mechanism for the development of inflammatory processes leading to a disorder in the immune tolerance in the testis.

Aim: The present study aimed at demonstrating the expression of inflammatory markers in the testis by a model of a high lipid diet and the possible effect on spermatogenesis.

Materials and methods: Male Wistar rats were used in the study divided into two groups: a control group fed standard rodent food and an experimental group receiving high lipid food for 14 weeks. Routine histological techniques, immunohistochemical reactions for proinflammatory markers and morphometric analysis were performed to examine the testis preparations.

Results: The high lipid diet caused a low-grade inflammation in the testis in the experimental group, which was confirmed by the increase of ﻿proinflammatory markers: the C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A, and interleukin-4, and by the elevated levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme in the experimental versus control groups in a rat experimental model.

Conclusions: Our results suggest that a high lipid diet might be a possible cause for the idiopathic infertility in men.
Analysis of the functional traits of Quercus cerris L. seedlings in the Molise region (southern Italy)
Authors: Quaranta Luca , Di Marzio Piera , Di Pietro Romeo , Ferretti Fabrizio , Di Salvatore Umberto , Fortini Paola
Published: May 2022

This study deals with the analysis of seedling fitness in three Quercus cerris wood stands, namely Selva di Castiglione (SC), Bosco della Ficora (BF) and Bosco di San Leo (BSL), developed in different lithological and physiographic conditions and subjected to different forestry practices. A phytosociological study was carried out for analysing the coenological features of the forest stands and to classify these latter from a syntaxonomic point of view. The Pignatti-Ellenberg index (PEi) was calculated on the matrix composed of the phytosociological relevés in order to highlight possible ecological differences or gradients among stands. The phenotypic parameters considered were the stem and root length and the leaf area, whereas the plant functional traits (PFTs) were specific leaf area (SLA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), leaf thickness (Lth) and chlorophyll content (CHL). The results showed that seedlings coming from different sampling sites exhibited similar values in all the phenotypic parameters. Instead, statistically significant differences were observed in the PFTs. The results suggested that the different adaptation strategies implemented by the seedlings are to be related to the physical environment of the sampling sites and to the different forest structures. The Selva di Castiglione forest stand (SC) exhibited better growth conditions for seedlings testified by higher values of SLA and CHL and lower values of LDMC and Lth. These were interpreted as greater investment in carbon production aimed at rapid development and renewal of the seedling rather than carbon storage aimed at ensuring leaf longevity.
La mobilité institutionnelle ne se décrète pas. Elle s’acquiert, étape par étape… Étude de cas sur le terrain de l’Allemagne

Published: May 2022

L’école se présente comme une institution souvent réformée et en même temps très stable et résistante aux changements. Cet article examine cette tension entre résistance et innovation à partir d’entretiens menés avec les directeurs d’école allemands issus du corpus récolté au cours d’un projet de recherche binational questionnant la mobilité institutionnelle. L’idée centrale est d’attirer le regard sur la complexité de la tâche appelée en Allemagne Schulentwicklung : développement de l’école . Est mis à jour l’interaction entre d’un côté les idées de réforme et de l’autre les structures institutionnelles, les convictions et routines professionnelles qui peuvent freiner ou détourner les processus d’innovation.
La construction d’une relation professionnelle avec les parents d’élèves : leviers, obstacles et paradoxes
Authors: Barry Valérie
Published: May 2022

Cet article est issu d’une recherche réalisée, au cours et à l’issue de leur formation, auprès d’un groupe de professeurs des écoles stagiaires ayant à mi-temps la responsabilité d’une classe d’école primaire. L’étude s’appuie à la fois sur des questionnaires écrits et sur la retranscription d’entretiens individuels portant sur la relation de ces jeunes enseignants avec les parents d’élèves. Il ressort de l’analyse du matériau de recherche que le ressenti d’une relation constructive évolue favorablement au cours de la formation en même temps que le sentiment de compétence professionnelle, mais que certains obstacles résistent à cette construction et génèrent une incertitude posturale chez des professionnels de l’éducation débutants, ces obstacles étant notamment en lien avec l’existence de divergences interculturelles et éducatives entre l’école et les familles.

La prise en compte des élèves trans à l’école en France
Authors: Alessandrin Arnaud
Published: May 2022

Si les questions de genre et de sexualité ont fait leur entrée, parfois timides, dans les politiques éducatives françaises, celle plus spécifique des élèves trans en est encore à ses balbutiements. À travers une série de participations observantes dans plusieurs établissements scolaires accueillant des jeunes trans n’ayant pas atteint la majorité et par l’analyse périodique des rares politiques en la matière, cet article vise à comprendre quelles sont les réticences à l’inclusion réelle des élèves trans dans les écoles françaises (de l’école primaire au lycée).
Écriture inclusive/non genrée. Comment la mettre en œuvre tout en restant accessible
Authors: Brunet Pascal
Published: May 2022

Née de la montée du féminisme et de la revendication de l’égalité femme/homme, l’écriture inclusive vise à supprimer la règle qui veut que le masculin l’emporte sur le féminin. Sa mise en œuvre utilisant le point médian lance le débat au sein de la société et déchaîne les passions sur Twitter. Ce qui explique pourquoi le terme «  écriture inclusive  » est associé, voire trop souvent réduit, à l’utilisation du point médian et cristallise aujourd’hui les débats autour de l’écriture inclusive. Deux circulaires, l’une le 2 novembre 2017 du Premier ministre Édouard Philippe, l’autre le 5 mai 2021 du ministre de l’Éducation nationale Jean-Michel Blanquer, précisent son utilisation pour les textes officiels et au sein de l’Éducation nationale. L’utilisation du point médian pour faire apparaître simultanément les formes féminines et masculines d’un mot pose de multiples problèmes : pas de norme définissant le symbole à utiliser, difficulté de compréhension pour les personnes en situation de handicap ou les mauvais lecteurs (personnes de langue étrangère et autres), mauvaise prise en charge par les aides supplétives. L’accord en genre des noms de fonctions, grades, métiers et titres est un préalable indispensable. Les formulations avec double flexion, l’alternance, l’utilisation de termes épicènes, les formes englobantes voire la reformulation sont des réponses efficaces à cette contrainte d’écriture.

Published: May 2022

We sought to determine the type, frequency, and compensation details of orthopedic call for orthopedic traumatologists. We administered a 24-question survey to all members of the Orthopaedic Trauma Association regarding the number and type of orthopedic surgeons within the call pool, frequency of call, number of hospitals covered, and compensation for weekday, weekend, holiday, and pediatric calls. A total of 105 orthopedic surgeons replied. The most common number of physicians in the call pool was 6 to 10 (42.9%), whereas the most common number of traumatologists was 0 to 5 (90.5%), with 71.4% taking call at 1 hospital. Further, 56.7% were paid separately for weekday trauma call, with the most common number of call days per week being 2. The most common compensation was $1001 to $1500 (31.6%). For weekend call, 49.5% of physicians were paid separately, with the most common number of weekends on call per year being 11 to 15 (34.3% of replies). For pediatric call, 54.3% of physicians took call, with 28.6% paid separately and 33.3% receiving $0 to $500. For holiday call, 40.2% of physicians were paid separately, with 30.8% receiving $1001 to $1500. We describe the characteristics of traumatology call. Approximately 50% of physicians (range, 28.6%–56.3%) are compensated separately for taking different forms of call (ie, weekday, weekend, holiday). [

Patient satisfaction is increasingly used to assess the quality of care and determine physician reimbursement. Patient characteristics influence patient satisfaction, but the effect of physician practice parameters on satisfaction has not been studied in detail. Outpatient satisfaction scores from 11,059 patients who rated 24 orthopedic surgeons from a single institution were studied. Practice-related parameters were collected in a provider-reported survey. Univariate logistic regressions were used to test the associations between each provider characteristic and the likelihood of receiving a 5-star rating on a selection of 16 Press Ganey patient satisfaction questions. The presence of a physician assistant in the clinic positively affected the 5-star rating for all but 1 of the patient satisfaction questions examined, including overall satisfaction (odds ratio [OR], 1.38; 95% CI, 1.03–1.85;
P
=.031); the likelihood of being recommended to others (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.16–2.14;
P
=.004); and friendliness/courtesy (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.17–2.13;
P
=.003). However, having a fellow or nurse practitioner in the clinic, treating children, productivity (measured as total relative value units), taking trauma call, and provider distance from home were not associated with higher scores for any of the Press Ganey patient satisfaction questions. Having a physician assistant in the clinic is an actionable, practice-specific characteristic that positively affects patient satisfaction on many levels and may ultimately improve the perception of care.

Composite control with observers for a class of stochastic systems with multiple disturbances
Authors: Li Yuanyuan , Wei Yunliang
Published: May 2022

In this paper, the composite anti-disturbances control problem is considered for a class of stochastic systems with multiple disturbances. The states of the system are assumed to be unavailable. A state observer and a disturbance observer are constructed to estimate the states and the matched disturbance respectively. Based on the estimated values of state observer and disturbance observer, a non-fragile composite controller is designed to achieve disturbance attenuation and rejection. By means of the technique of the disturbance compensation control and stochastic control theory, some sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee that the closed-loop system is asymptotically bounded in mean square or asymptotically stable in probability. Finally, a numerical example is given to verify the validity of the obtained results.

The work collates various machine learning techniques such as SVM, random forests, naive bayes and proposed MLP to perform better detection of diabetes in humans. The goal of this study is to predict the diabetes through neural network of multilayer perceptron. In this study, multilayer perceptron of deep learning algorithm is compared with different machine learning algorithms. The model for the different algorithm is validated with fivefold cross validation. The machine learning algorithms in this study are support vector machine, random forest, and naive bayes. The dataset used for this study is taken from UCI machine learning repository. This algorithm is trained and tested with all the features of the dataset. The algorithms are evaluated based on the accuracy measures. The result obtained shows that the multilayer perceptron of deep learning algorithm gives an accuracy of 98%.
Topical Repute on Artificial Intelligence-Based Approaches in COVID-19 Supervision
Authors: Basu Shamayita , Shafi Jana
Published: May 2022

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to a major oppression of worldwide healthcare infrastructure. In current times, artificial intelligence (AI) and network medicine provide groundbreaking implementation of information science in defining diseases, therapeutics, medicines, and in associating targets with the minimum fallacy. In this big data era, artificial intelligence (AI) has immensely reduced the time and investment of novel targeted drug discovery. As there is continual unfolding of the results of the possible drug combinations, exploitation of artificial intelligence is of utmost necessity so as to hone combination therapy plan. Drug repositioning or repurposing is a methodology by means of which subsisting drugs are being manipulated to handle challenging and emerging diseases, including COVID-19. In this chapter, the authors present the regulations on how to use AI to expedite drug repurposing or repositioning, for which AI propositions are not only intimidating but are also inevitable.
Principles and Methods of Explainable Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative brain illness that primarily affects elderly adults. This sickness takes away people's capacity to think, read, and do many other things. Clinical trials investigating medications to treat this disease have a high failure rate, due to the difficulty in identifying the patients affected by this disease early on. It affects around 45 million people worldwide. Machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, incorporates a range of probabilistic methods. Several approaches showed potential prediction accuracies; however, they were tested using distinct pathologically untested data sets making a fair comparison difficult. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disease that mostly affects the elderly. Pre-processing, feature selection, and classification are just a few of the various factors that go into making the framework. This proposed approach directs researchers in the right direction for early Alzheimer's disease detection and can distinguish AD from other disorders.
Advances in Pediatric Research Using Non-Invasive Technology-Showing Precursors of Cardiovascular Disease Occurring Later in Life
Authors: Hartel Tammy Charlene , De Smidt Juley , Oelofse Andre
Published: May 2022

There is an increasing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in children, specifically in low socioeconomic regions where children are exposed to several factors as early as the fetal stage, increasing their risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. However, atherosclerosis develops silently from early childhood, long before the manifestation of cardiovascular risk factors. The aim of the chapter is to provide insights on the advances in pediatric research using non-invasive ultrasound technology for the detection of subclinical atherosclerosis in children and to explore the acceptance and distribution of ultrasound technology. The use of ultrasound technology is increasing in developing countries, and many universities are offering training courses for health professionals. Therefore, the adoption of low-cost, portable ultrasound machines, training of medical staff, together with teleradiology can drastically improve healthcare access, cardiovascular risk identification in pediatrics, and prevent the development of CVD in high-risk populations.
The Nexus Between Philosophy of Language, Film, and Literature
Authors: Wesley Osemwegie Taiwo
Published: May 2022

The work explores the fields of philosophy of language, film, and literature with the aim of establishing the intrinsic nexus between them on one hand, and to establish their existential relevance to humanity and society. Man as an existential, social, and cultural being, and no doubt finds this expression in his use of language and artistic creations. The imperative question is, how is it possible to use language to communicate what is not real and what is real? The work argues that though language somewhat sets the limit or demarcate the boundary between what is real/meaningful and what is not/meaningless according to the view expressed by Wittgenstein and the logical positivists, is that enough to abandon or jettison human artistic works as constituting nothing but mere entertainment? The work submits that consideration of film and literature as ersatz and which sole purpose is amusement is mistaken. Rather, the work advanced the argument that film and literature and every other human artistic works represent existential reflections of man's true self in the “life-world.”
Symbolism in Digital Space and Transitional Society
Authors: Onobe Melchizedec J.
Published: May 2022

Communication is fundamentally a toolbox of symbols used to create meaning in society. Its existence is a necessity spawned by circumstantial and society's contingencies at every turn. It is the reason languages, cues, imageries, and symbols—the building blocks of communication—continue to evolve with the times. The ritual of this dynamism is precipitated by a number of factors like socio-cultural identity crisis, economic and political variables, etc. This transitional socialisation continues to surge in the digital space of multi-platforms and the internet. Thus, this chapter attempts to evaluate the tenders of communication in the digital space, its influence on cultural identity, and the place of Africa in the narrative. The study submits that although the global nature of communication is believed to have overbearing influence on the continent's outlook, Africa being a culturally strong entity can outsource to the rest of the world and into the digital space its numerous rich cues, symbols, and signs to give the cultural identifiers indelibility and relevance on the global map.
Public Sphere, Development, and the Challenge of Media Censorship in a Dictatorial Democracy
Authors: Oparah Thaddeus A. , Akpa Ejike
Published: May 2022

The post-independence mantra of most African states signaled a continent with varied ability to advance her developmental frontiers. However, this has remained elusive owing to many factors among which is the disillusionment with the ‘public sphere' by the ruling class because the public sphere presupposes and guarantees the consent of the governed in policy formulation, better governmental process, and the possibility of sustainable and true development. This makes the idea of public sphere very important and a normative concept, as it is an ideal for good/accountable governance. On the contrary, the absence of the public sphere, à la media censorship, has resulted in a leadership failure in its entirety, which in turn has truncated and subverted development. Through critical textual and qualitative analysis, the authors advance the argument that there exists a nexus between public sphere, good governance, and development. And the connection has almost been rendered a nullity through the actions/inactions of the political class whose hatred for the public sphere necessitates its negation.
Digital Governance in Post-Modern Africa
Authors: Onobe Melchizedec J. , Okocha Desmond Onyemechi , John Michael Agbo
Published: May 2022

A strong reason democracy continues to be favored in the 21st century is because it is presented as more fluid and amendable to political evolution in digitization. While digitization of governance is an advantage worth exploring, in Africa, Western democracy remains a challenge especially for young and experimental governments and particularly that the system lacks indigenous organism in origin. A fundamental thrust of this chapter therefore is to interrogate how nations of Africa are grappling with the many variables of democracy as a Sphinx, how good governance, postmodernist demands jump in the fray of theories and practices to shape the form of governance evolving in Africa. The chapter is a positional outlook on the development as they unfold. It suggests that though there is a speed deficit of Africa catching up with the hypothetical perfect Western system's demand, the dawn of e-governance in the continent should be uniquely organismic to sync with Africa's heterogeneous cultural diversity in order to achieve desired results of speed and all-around development.
