Published: February 2023

INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer (BC) constitutes a major public health problem worldwide. It remains a major scientific, clinical and societal challenge, generally in Africa and particularly in Rwanda. The purpose of this study was to determine clinical and histopathological predictors of BC molecular subtypes in Rwandan women.METHODS: A retrospective cohort study including patients with histological confirmation of BC. Using R statistical software, a regression model for multinomial responses was developed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent BC molecular subtypes predictors. A two-sided p<0.05 indicated a statistically significant difference.RESULTS: Forty seven percent of cases presented with advanced stages (Stage III and IV). Postmenopausal BC (p=0.0142), absence of infertility (p=0.018) predicted Luminal A subtype with a predictive accuracy of 0.65. Age (p=0.003), postmenopausal BC (p=0.005), absence of axillar lymph nodes (p= 0.008) and poorly differentiated tumor (p=0.012) were predictors for Luminal B subtype with a predictive accuracy of 0.86. Age (p=0.045), BMI (p=0.005), rapid progression (p=0.032), tumor size T2-T3 (p<0.001) were predictors of HER2-Enriched subtype with a predictive accuracy of 0.70. Age below 40 (p=0.005), painless mass (p=0.030), nodal involvement (p=0.008), Nottingham grade 3 (p<0.001) predicted Triple Negative tumors with a predictive accuracy of 0.71.CONCLUSION: Clinical and histopathological tumor characteristics can be used to predict BC molecular subtypes with acceptable accuracy. Further studies are needed to explore the possibility of developing a scoring system for clinical decision-making, especially in settings where immunohistochemistry testing is limited.

Authors: Menewe Barnabas C.
Published: February 2023

The article examined the prophetic oracles regarding ‘the Day of the Lord’ as found in Zechariah 14:1-9 and its implications for the church today. It closely scrutinized the phrase , יהוהַל אָּ ום־בֹי הֵּנִ ה יהוהַ ל אָּ ום־בֹי הֵּנִ ה ,hinn¢h yôm-b¹° LAdonay (Behold, a day of the LORD is coming), which conveys a serious warning in Scriptures that must not be taken for granted. The day is of great importance to the Church because it brings to climax God’s program of salvation for His people. The consistency of this prophetic utterance of the Day of the Lord, as proclaimed by other prophets, is traced systematically to buttress Zechariah’s declaration. The writer gives the historical background of the book of Zechariah, the Hebrew text, along with the literal translation of Zechariah 14:1-9, a careful exegetical and theological analysis of the pericope is also provided with the exegetical discoveries made. The day of the Lord in this article is considered as a special time in history which God has kept in His power to judge the nations, bring to full completion His purpose for Israel as a nation, the Church and to user in His sovereign reign. On this Day, the Lord comes not as a lamb but as ‘the Lion of the Tribe of Judea’, as ‘the Mighty Warrior’ and as ‘the King of kings.’

Learning from Buddhist Teachings and Ethical Practices in Qualitative Research
Authors: Li Pei-Jung
Published: February 2023

This paper aims at conceptualizing research ethics in qualitative research with Buddhist teachings. As a Buddhist, I first introduce how Buddhism came to be central in my life and eventually influenced me as a qualitative researcher. I exemplify how the concepts of all-beings-are-equal, karma, the five precepts, and repentance might inspire a qualitative practice that centers ethics and informs a researcher’s interactions with participants. I suggest that researchers not only work on reflecting on their body (actions), speech (talk), and mind (thoughts) but more importantly, move beyond just reflection and reflexivity to facing and resolving “unwholesome” moments that may arise during the research process. I thus demonstrate how to repent in regard to one’s research-related actions, speech, and thoughts, with a particular focus on doing-no-harm and truthfulness. To illustrate, I offer an example from my own research that highlights how Buddhist teachings might be relevant in practice. My arguments aim to contribute to the literature on research ethics by introducing repentance by the researchers, alongside the Buddhist precepts, as central to ethical qualitative research practice.

Authors: McLean Roslyn
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Physical disability presents unique challenges to the individual, family and community. One of these challenges is returning the individual to work. The current study looks at individuals with a mild-to-moderate physical disability 6 months post-discharge from inpatient rehabilitation and their employment status and perceived barriers to returning to work.

Materials and Methods: Prospective study of consecutive Singaporean patients, aged 21 to 65 years, discharged from the acute inpatient Rehabilitation Medicine Service at Changi General Hospital with a mild-to-moderate physical disability, as determined by discharge Modified Barthel Index score, and their employment status 6 months after discharge.

Results: There were 68 patients who met the study criteria; of these, 31 (45.6%) were successfully employed by 6 months post-discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. There was a statistically significant difference (P = 0.0004) between the 2 groups based on gender, with more males likely not to return to work as compared to their female counterparts.

Conclusion: In this small prospective study, males were more likely not to return to work than females. Those of slightly younger age with more advanced education were more likely to return to work and fear of worsening of physical disability was the most common reason cited for not returning to work after a mild-to-moderate physical disability.

Review of the Management Outcome of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis and the Role of Prophylactic Contra-lateral Pinning Re-examined
Authors: Lim Yi Jia , Lam Khee Sien , Lee Eng Hin
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is the most common hip problem in the adolescent age group. It can involve both hips, presenting itself bilaterally at first presentation or sequentially. The overall incidence of bilateral disease is variable, but the risk of occurrence is higher when there is underlying endocrinopathy, renal disease and obesity.

Materials and Methods: Amongst the 36 cases (44 hips) of slipped capital femoral epiphysis that we had, there were 8 cases of bilateral disease, of which 3 were bilateral sequential slips. A retrospective review of all case records and X-rays was done.
Results: According to Aadalen’s criteria, the results were excellent or good in 37 hips, fair in 3 hips, and poor in 2 hips. Two patients were considered as treatment failure because of avascular necrosis. The incidence of bilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis was 22.2%. The overall average age was 11.4 years. All cases of sequential involvement presented within 15 months of the initial slip. One patient had hypothyroidism (who also had a positive family history for slipped capital femoral epiphysis), while 91.6% were above the 75th percentile for weight. There was no statistically significant difference in age, sex, race, body mass index (BMI) and weight percentile distribution between patients with unilateral and bilateral disease.
Conclusion: Satisfactory outcomes can be expected in most patients treated for slipped capital femoral epiphysis. The risk of avascular necrosis is higher in unstable slips. The role of prophylactic contra-lateral pinning should be restricted to patients with hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis disease, especially hypothyroidism.

Seeing the Wood for the Trees: Approaches to Teaching and Assessing Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics in a Problem-based Learning Course
Authors: Azer Samy A , Frauman Albert G
Published: February 2023

For about 50 years, clinical pharmacology and therapeutics have been taught in the medical schools via traditional lectures and practical classes. During this time, significant changes have occurred in our understanding of medicine and basic sciences. Also the needs for our community have changed dramatically. The explosion of scientific discoveries, the use of new technologies in disease diagnosis, the availability of a wide range of therapeutic options, and the availability of knowledge to everyone via the Internet have necessitated new approaches for teaching medical and other health professional students. Finding information related to a topic has not become a priority in teaching, what has become more important is to teach undergraduate students how to think in addition to what to think. Applying information learnt and assessing its significance in real life situations has become mandatory. The aims of this paper were: (i) to discuss the model we used in introducing clinical pharmacology and therapeutics teaching in the undergraduate course at the University of Melbourne and the educational principles behind the model, and (ii) to discuss the new tools of assessment used in a problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum.

In internet media, the created information will move to network nodes called the routing information, from one node to another based on the request made. When data loads increase in communication links, routers must be designed to supply reasonable data flow from resource to its target, to all network nodes. In case accessed data is heavy, routers can be deadlocked and reduce router's bandwidth which leads to increase packet loss. In order to sustainably transmit packets through such routers, they need to be designed and provided with effective deadlock avoidance algorithms. Formerly, these algorithms were used as Active queue management-AQM, Drop Tail algorithm (DT), and Random Early Detection-RED. This study suggests an innovative RED named LtRED (Lower threshold of RED) to address RED's shortcomings. Research results evaluated on NS2 showed the innovation LtRED algorithm was better than RED in terms of packet loss rate, average queue delay, and average throughput.

This work focuses on a solar and AC power supply unit for a refrigerator. The two sources of power supply, an alternating current power supply and solar power supply, each connected to an automatic changeover used to switch power supply to the refrigerator unit. The alternating current power supply and solar power supply both charge the battery interchangeably through the inverter depending on the power source in use. The inverter unit consists of a battery used to store the solar energy needed to keep a constant supply of refrigeration to the refrigerator unit even when there is no alternating current power supply; a transformer which is used to step up the voltage supplied by the battery to match the voltage needed by the refrigerator unit to work properly and also an oscillator which is used to convert the direct current voltage supplied by the battery into alternating current voltage. This aims at maintaining constant operation of the refrigerator unit.

The changes include the making of a deed of transfer of land rights, which has been made on the condition that the parties must appear before the Notary as land deed officials in person, to be made in electronic form. This step is not accompanied by an amendment to Article 5 paragraph 4 letter (b) of Law 11 of 2008 concerning ITE, which still determines that the provisions regarding ITE do not apply to letters and documents which according to the Law must be made in the form of notarial deeds or deeds made by PPAT. This research is conducted to provide legal solutions from the point of view of Legal Theory on the conflict between the 2 norms. This research is normative legal research. The results of this study indicate that based on the principle of Lex Specialis Derogat Legi Generali, the Job Creation Law must be applied over the ITE Law as far as how to make PPAT deeds made electronically are valid legal evidence if the making of electronic notarial deeds is carried out in accordance with applicable provisions.

This study analysed the nexus among ICT support for core competencies, competitive advantage and firm performance using data obtained from managers of firms in Harare, Zimbabwe. The qualitative phenomenological approach focused on the manufacturing and service sub-sectors that informed the analysis. The study used purposive sampling to select a sample of 10 participants, five business managers and five ICT experts. In-depth interviews with chosen ICT experts from business organisations in Harare, Zimbabwe, were conducted to gather qualitative data. The study's findings were from using within-case and cross-case qualitative data analysis. Key results from the study indicate that ICT support for management talent is perceived to impact business performance and competitive advantage positively. ICT support for core competencies gives businesses a competitive advantage that positively impacts operational performance. When ICT investments combine with ICT management skills, a company's value maximises. For ICT-enabled core competencies to influence firm performance, firms need complementary managerial and strategic capabilities. This study is distinctive because it addresses the dynamic organisational capabilities and resource-based perspective as the base theories. The methodology goes against the innovation adoption theories of comparable earlier studies on ICT acceptability. Thus, this study contributes to the growing body of ICT literature by demonstrating that ICT-enabled core competencies are insufficient to establish and maintain a competitive advantage and singularly influence firm performance. It made it even more essential for a firm to consider how to meet better customer needs and capture value by having a well-thought-out ICT-embedded business model, business strategy, and innovation alignment

Este trabalho visou descrever a elaboração de uma Histórias em Quadrinhos (HQ) intitulada “Terra Plana” na qual os personagens Aurora, Pollux e Ollie, discutem sobre o terraplanismo em 2021.  Foram descritas as etapas de construção da HQ, bem como, a criação dos personagens que foram inspirados na obra “Diálogo sobre os dois máximos sistemas do mundo ptolomaico e copernicano” de Galileo Galilei. No desenvolvimento do enredo, a cientista Aurora, busca com embasamentos científicos, dissuadir Ollie seu tio, de suas crenças terraplanistas. Nesse contexto, acreditamos que as discussões presentes nessa HQ possam contribuir não apenas para a inclusão de conteúdos de Astronomia nas aulas de Ciências, como também para compreensão dos movimentos negacionistas e anticientíficos. Posto que essas questões precisam ser problematizadas e a área de ensino de Ciências necessita estar atenta a elas, contribuindo com propostas que permitam um ensino crítico frente as concepções que desvalorizam o conhecimento científico.

Published: February 2023

O objetivo deste estudo foi levantar as percepções de um grupo de fisioterapeutas sobre sua formação acadêmica na aquisição das competências e saberes específicos para atuar com a ventilação mecânica. Caracteriza-se como um estudo exploratório descritivo com abordagem quantitativa realizado com 42 fisioterapeutas de quatro hospitais da cidade de Volta Redonda (RJ). Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se um questionário semiestruturado, construído pelas pesquisadoras. A análise dos questionários possibilitou identificar que, de acordo com os fisioterapeutas pesquisados, o conteúdo de ventilação mecânica é o mais difícil de aprender quando comparado aos demais conteúdos de terapia respiratória. As aulas sobre ventilação mecânica deveriam ter sido mais práticas, pois a duração do estágio supervisionado foi insatisfatória. Para a maioria dos fisioterapeutas, o conhecimento obtido na graduação sobre o assunto ventilação mecânica foi insuficiente, levando os fisioterapeutas sentirem-se inseguros para adaptar um paciente a um ventilador mecânico.Os resultados deste estudo mostraram que o processo de ensino-aprendizagem em VMI apresenta algumas insuficiências e percebe-se a necessidade de rever a matriz curricular e adotar metodologias e técnicas que possibilitem aos alunos a aplicação dos conhecimentos teóricos e a prática em um ventilador mecânico, antes da utilização em pacientes no momento crítico.

A Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) é uma modalidade de ensino que tem funções reparadora e equalizadora, oportunizando o retorno de jovens e adultos à educação escolar. Diante do exposto, o trabalho objetivou analisar o perfil dos alunos de turmas da EJA (4ª Etapa -8º e 9º Ano do Ensino Fundamental; e 1ª e 2ª Etapa (1°, 2° e 3° do Ensino Médio), de uma escola pública parceira do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID): a fim de compreender as suas motivações, expectativas e limitações. Nesta pesquisa, foi utilizada um questionário semiestruturado com 20 questões abertas e fechadas aplicados à 46 alunos. De acordo com o questionário, verifica-se que ~50% dos entrevistados já estão na fase adulta, entre 22 a 60 anos. A outra metade dos entrevistados estão na faixa etária de 15 a 21. 58% dos entrevistados estavam desempregados, e em algum momento tiveram que parar os estudos pelos variados motivos: gravidez, necessidade de trabalhar, etc. Contudo, estes alunos veem na EJA a oportunidade de garantir a inserção no mercado de trabalho. Portanto, a pesquisa contribui para a compreensão das especificidades da EJA e de seus sujeitos, de modo que insira o estudante como sujeito do processo.
