Published: March 2023

The study assessed the Gambia Police Force (GPF) on Crime Prevention and Control in the Greater Banjul Area of The Gambia from 2017 to 2019. The study used both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected using questionnaires and interview guides. The targeted population for this study was serving members of The Gambia Police Force (GPF), and 254 members were sampled out of 700 populations using the Taro Yamane formula. The distribution of the sample size was based on convenient sampling in terms of accessing major police stations and police posts. In the course of the fieldwork, 254 copies of the questionnaire were administered with the aim of retrieving the required number meant for the study. The study used descriptive and inferential statistical toolsto analyse the data. Three interviews were conducted with officials from GAF, NAATIP, and WANEP who are knowledgeable on the subject of investigation. The selection and distribution of the numbers of respondents were purposively interviewed. The findings of the study revealed that the GPF used outdated gadgets and human intelligence as methods and approaches in responding to crime prevention and control in the country. The study also revealed that GPF faced certain operational limitations in using modern security tools. This was due to inadequate exposure in terms of training and the challenge of the apolitical among the ranks and files of the GPF. The study identified copious challenges facing GPF which is a general issue in most African countries based on the extant literature. The challenge of funding; corruption; political interference; indiscipline; non-compliance and reporting of some citizens and so on, have constituted some level of hindrances to the GPF on crime prevention and control in The Gambia. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of the methods and approaches used by the GPFon crime prevention and control; and assess the challenges facing the GPF on crime prevention and control in the Gambia (GBA).

Authors: Osondu-Oti Adaora , Iloh Emeka C. , Omole Oluwakemi
Published: March 2023

The study interrogates the issues surrounding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing war between the two Eastern European countries. It examines the remote and immediate causes of the invasion as well as the position of leading and other members of the UN Security Council and other world leaders on the aggression. The study also analysed Russia’s justification of the invasion based on the fact that Russia’s security is being threatened by the continued expansion of NATO to Eastern Europe, against which Moscow claims it is a red line that cannot be tolerated. A brief background of the crisis that led to the invasion/war was examined, as well as the internal and external factors that triggered the invasion. Finally, the paper examined the implications of Russia’s invasion of Africa. The study relied on documentary evidence sourced mainly from the internet and applied the realist theory in analysing the issues. The study found that though NATO’s expansion eastwards and Ukraine’s intention to join the security alliance were the immediate triggers for the invasion, several other remote factors contributed to the invasion. The study also found that though Africa is miles away from the theatre of conflict, it is being affected in several ways by the conflict. Amongst others, the paper recommends that Africa should maintain its non-aligned posture in the conflict, and should seek closer ties within the continent and with non-European partners to cushion the effects of the war.

The Mediator Role of Rumination about an Interpersonal Offense in the Borderline Personality Features and Depression
Authors: Faraji Haydeh , Bilgi Cemile
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of rumination about an interpersonal offense (RIO) in mediating borderline personality traits and depression. The sample for this study was determined by random sampling, and the participants were 419 people, 218 women (52%) and 201 men (48%), aged 18-35, residing in Istanbul in 2022 and who willingly participated in the research. The participants were administered the Sociodemographic data form, the Borderline Personality Questionnaire (BPQ), the Zung Depression Scale (ZDS), and the Rumination about an Interpersonal Offense Scale (RIO), and the data obtained in the study were analyzed using SPSS 25.0. Pearson correlation analysis, the independent group t-tests, ANOVA, and PROCESS 3.5 were used. The confidence interval referenced in the whole study was 95%, and the p value was 0.05. The study's findings suggest that RIO mediates the relationship between depressive symptoms and borderline personality characteristics. RIO, borderline personality traits (r=.525, p0.01), and depression (r=.524, p0.01) were revealed to be positively and significantly correlated. It has been claimed that people with borderline personality characteristics may use rumination as a maladaptive coping method in their interpersonal relationships. It has been determined that individuals with borderline personality features may have other-oriented ruminative tendencies, and RIO can be described as a cognitive vulnerability in borderline personality disorder (BPD). It is advised to reduce RIO and utilize cognitive strategies to replace borderline patients' dysfunctional beliefs about themselves, others, and the world with functional beliefs for the treatment of BPD and its accompanying depressive symptoms.
Nuclear Security in Ukraine and the Black Sea Region: New Threats, New Risks, New Consequences
Authors: Fedchenko Vitaly , Maksymenko Iryna , Sinovets Polina , Wan Wilfred
Published: March 2023

Nuclear security threats in the Black Sea region went through momentous changes between the 1990s and 2023. Up to 2014 the region was known as the location for the most high-profile cases of nuclear smuggling. In 2014 Ukraine lost control of parts of its territory and borders, which exacerbated the same nuclear security challenges. Attacks on nuclear installations were still seen as unlikely. In 2022 the Russian military did attack Ukrainian nuclear facilities. The Ukrainian nuclear security regime began to adapt, shifting focus to protecting nuclear installations in extraordinary circumstances. Black Sea states began to recognize Ukrainian territories affected by armed conflict as a source of nuclear security risks. Large nuclear security events with radiological consequences for the Black Sea region are now seen as viable risks. A companion paper describes how attacks on nuclear installations in Ukraine have changed the international nuclear security framework.

V-Y Nasolabial Flap for Reconstruction After Basal Cell Carcinoma Excision
Authors: Putri Sarah Anjani , Fitra Yugos Juli , Kurniadi
Published: March 2023

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignancy worldwide.1 It is usually found in older populations, particularly those exposed to ultraviolet radiation. It is almost always curable when detected and treated early. Surgery remains the cornerstone of BCC treatment, but standard excision results in defects requiring reconstruction. A V-Y flap is a popular option for smaller defects due to its advantages. Case: A 33-year-old male with a blackened lesion on the left vermillion border of the upper lip with a diameter of 2 cm for three months, suspected of basal cell carcinoma. The patient underwent wide excision, and the defect was reconstructed using a V-Y flap. Conclusion: Wide local excision is a treatment of choice for BCC to ensure clear margins, preventing further local recurrence and distant metastasis. V-Y advancement flap is preferable for the reconstruction of small to medium size facial defects with less scarring and better aesthetic results.

Latar belakang: Karsinoma sel basal (KSB) adalah keganasan yang paling sering ditemukan di seluruh dunia; biasanya pada populasi usia lanjut, khususnya yang terpapar radiasi sinar ultraviolet. KSB hampir selalu dapat disembuhkan apabila terdeteksi dan diberi tata laksana secara dini. Pembedahan tetap merupakan landasan tata laksana KSB, akan tetapi eksisi standar akan meninggalkan defek yang membutuhkan rekonstruksi. Untuk defek yang lebih kecil, flap V-Y merupakan pilihan populEr karena kelebihannya. Kasus: Seorang laki-laki usia 33 tahun dengan lesi berwarna hitam di batas vermilion kiri di atas bibir dengan diameter 2 cm sejak 3 bulan, diduga karsinoma sel basal. Pasien menjalani operasi eksisi luas dan defeknya direkonstruksi menggunakan flap V-Y. Simpulan: Eksisi lokal luas adalah tata laksana pilihan KBS untuk memastikan margin yang jelas, mencegah rekurensi lokal, dan metastatis jauh. Flap V-Y lebih dipilih untuk defek wajah dengan ukuran kecil hingga sedang karena bekas luka yang lebih kecil dan secara estetika lebih baik.

The Brief Survey of Interpersonal Exploitative Behavior: Preliminary Development and Validation
Authors: SEMEL ROBERT
Published: March 2023

The development and preliminary validation of a new measure of interpersonal exploitativeness, i.e., Brief Survey of Interpersonal Exploitative Behavior (BSIEB), is described in two studies. Interpersonal exploitativeness is a transdiagnostic feature of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder. The BSIEB focuses on instantiating interpersonal exploitative behavior by surveying specific, "real world” exploitative behaviors. In Study 1, an item pool was generated by 50 Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) participants. Inter-rater reliability was assessed via independent ratings from a second group of MTurk participants. The BSIEB was administered to a new sample of 508 adults (64.5% males; M age = 37.1). The BSIEB demonstrated excellent internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s α = .94) and convergent validity (r = .64) with a measure of exploitativeness based on the Five-Factor Model of personality. A 1-factor measurement model fit well and was invariant for gender. In Study 2, the BSIEB demonstrated convergent validity with other measures of exploitativeness and incremental validity, registering the most significant share of unique variance in predicting the outcome variables of social aggression and alcohol and substance use, which are associated with narcissism and antisocial personality disorder.  The results support using the BSIEB as a valid research measure that expands construct coverage of interpersonal exploitative behavior.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the mother's and father's breed, as well as the season and year of littering, on the size of the litter born and reared as well as the birth weight of rabbits. The obtained litters for analysis came from the crossing of female Popielno White (n = 49) and Termonde White (n = 108) breeds with males of the breeds: Flemish Giant, California, New Zealand White, Popielno White and Termonde White. The females were allowed to mate for the first time at the age of 4.5 months. Four season of litter date were created: spring (MarchMay), summer (JuneAugust), autumn (SeptemberNovember) and winter (DecemberFebruary). The analysis of litters carried out in terms of the influence of the maternal component showed that the Termonde White does are characterized by a significantly larger litter size compared to the Popielno White rabbits. The Termonde White does were also characterised by a significantly larger weaned litter size compared to Popielno White does. Kits born to Termonde White doeses were significantly heavier than young born to Popielno White does. The breed of the sire had no significant influence on the size of the female's litter, the size of the weaned litter as well as the weight of the litter born. The significant difference between birth year were observed in the case of litter size born and weaned and born weight. The litter size born was differ between 2019 and 2020 year. When litter size weaned were analysed, the year 2020 and 2018 or 2019 were also differ significantly. The litters born and weaned in the spring and winter were larger than litters born in the litter size born was differed significantly between summer and spring or winter, summer and autumn.

Obtención de polímeros biodegradables a partir del almidón de yuca.
Authors: Vera Cuaces Andrés Felipe , Chávez Moreira Wendy Lissette , Carrillo Anchundia Bladimir Jacinto
Published: March 2023

Tomando en cuenta el problema ambiental que el consumo de plástico produce en la sociedad, junto con la explosión demográfica que ha aumentado la demanda de productos procesados y manufacturados que necesitan ser envasados en materiales a base de polímeros, se propuso como objetivo conocer las condiciones mínimas que deben existir para obtener un polímero biodegradable a partir del almidón de yuca mediante una revisión bibliográfica. La investigación es de tipo descriptiva con un diseño documental en el que se aplicó la técnica del análisis de contenido a partir de la revisión de la literatura especializada, como tesis, textos y artículos científicos de revistas de alto impacto. De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos, se considera importante la combinación del almidón con otros materiales plásticos para producir un biopolímero que tenga propiedades mecánicas superiores, que sea resistente al agua, altamente flexible y resistente al rompimiento. Se concluyó que los biopolímeros de almidón de yuca obtenidos a partir del ensayo de tracción eran similares a los plásticos convencionales en resistencia y estabilidad. También se evidenció que los biopolímeros resultantes eran efectivos para ser usados como envolturas para la preservación de alimentos. Sin embargo, se identificaron algunos desafíos, como la baja resistencia mecánica y térmica de los polímeros, lo que puede limitar su uso en ciertos sectores industriales. La obtención de polímeros biodegradables puede ser una alternativa sostenible a los plásticos convencionales derivados de combustibles fósiles.

The present work refers to an experience report lived by a master's student, from the Professional Master's Program in Technological Innovation at the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro - UFTM (Uberaba-MG), about the development of software. This work aims to detail the steps taken when working in the development of the technological product, using a free No Code platform, since the master's student graduated in Administration and does not have deep knowledge in the area of computing. Such a platform has grown exponentially for the development of technological products around the world. The software developed, called “Fiscalito Ti Conecta” is a customized technological tool to support the inspection of public contracts. A centralized management software guarantees better use of time, and interactivity, and expands the access of those involved in real-time, creating a collaborative environment, of greater production and acceleration in the transmission of knowledge. As a result of the validation of the developed product, positive comments were obtained from some university inspectors, who were invited to learn about the system. The developed software meets the search for technological acceleration in public management claimed by the federal government of Brazil.
ALAM PERSONIFIKASI MARTABAT MANUSIA: PEMBABATAN HUTAN DI KALIMANTAN TIMUR
Authors: Thomas Kadek Lintang Kurniawan  , Koten Emannuel Gebi , Bato Ayub Api , Riyanto Fransiskus Xaverius Eko Armada
Published: March 2023

The focus of this paper is a philosophical study of Nature as the personification of a dignified human being. This study aims to provide an in-depth explanation of the similarities between nature and humans. The discussion of this paper departs from the reality of human life today, especially in East Kalimantan, which has a tendency to overexploit nature in managing nature. This reality shows that there is no ecological ethics. The purpose of this paper is to provide a solution in the form of a philosophical idea of ??how humans should treat nature. The methodology of this paper is a literature study by exploring the philosophical ideas of Armada Riyanto about Dynamic and Metaphorical Nature in his book Menjadi-Mencintai: Berfilsafat Teologis Sehari-hari. The idea is used to examine the reality of nature today. The finding in this paper is that nature is not treated well by some humans for the sake of seeking one-sided advantage. It is exactly like human dignity which is marginalized in today's social life. Therefore, humans must treat nature as themselves in order to create good, right and beautiful harmonization in their lives.

Published: March 2023

Di Indonesia tindakan kekerasan semakin banyak diperbincangkan dan semakin merajalela. Banyak persoalan yang muncul yang berkaitan dengan agama, baik secara individu maupun kelompok. Konflik atas nama agama dapat menimbulkan perpecahan dalam kehidupan bersama dan bertentangan dengan semboyan bangasa Indonesia yang menjadi dasar persatuan bangsa yang multikultural. Kekerasan atas nama agama bukan hanya terjadi di kota besar tetapi juga di pelosok-pelosok daerah termasuk di NTT secara khusus di Flores Timur. Pelaku kekerasan ini bukan hanya masyarakat biasa, tetapi pelaku kekerasan ini juga dilakukan oleh pelajar bahkan guru atau kepala sekolah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana membangun sikap pengarusutamaan yang berorientasi pada anti kekerasan melalui kegiatan keagamaan SMA swasta Ile Boleng. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian ini mengatakan bahwa membangun sikap moderasi beragama yang berorientasikan pada anti kekerasan melalui kegiatan keagamaan di SMA swasta Ile Boleng belum maksimal karena masih ada siswa yang melakukan tindakan kekerasan non-fisik seperti membully, tidak saling menghormati anatrsesama, dan saling mengejek teman yang berbeda agama. Oleh sebab itu, setiap warga sekolah perlu memaknai kegiatan keagamaan itu secara baik agar kegiatan keagamaan itu mampu memberikan perubahan yang berkaitan dengan karakter warga sekolah agar terlaksananya sikap anti kekerasan.

Atipični meningeom paranazalnih šupljina - prikaz slučaja
Authors: Miškec Matija , Čupić Hrvoje , Gregurić Tomislav , Baudoin Tomislav
Published: March 2023

Uvod: Meningeomi su najčešći primarni tumori središnjeg živčanog sustava kod odraslih, te čine preko 30% svih intrakranijalnih tumora. Prema Svjetskoj zdravstvenoj organizaciji (World Health Organization - WHO) klasificiraju se kao benigni (WHO gradus I), atipični (WHO gradus II), te maligni/anaplastični (WHO gradus III). Ekstrakranijalni meningeomi, bez intrakranijalne komponente, vrlo su rijetki, te čine samo 1-2% slučajeva svih meningeoma. Prikaz slučaja: Šezdesetjednogodišnjem muškarcu s recidivom tumora etmoidnog sinusa lijevo, učinjena je endoskopska resekcija. Bolesniku je prije 7 godina (2015. g.) učinjena prva endoskopska operacija tumora etmoida lijevo. Patohistološki nalaz tada je pokazao da se radi o metastazi karcinoma bubrega. Bolesniku je prije 17 godina (2005. g.) učinjena desnostrana nefrektomija radi primarnog karcinoma bubrega. Rezultati opsežne imunohistokemijske analize reseciranog recidiva tumora upućuju na to da se radi o atipičnom meningeomu. S obzirom na dvije različite patohistološke dijagnoze, učinjena je revizija materijala prve endoskopske operacije, odnosno dodatna imunohistokemijska analiza. U spomenutoj naknadnoj imunohistokemijskoj analizi upotrijebljeni su, ranije nedostupni, specifični markeri potencijalnog metastatskog karcinoma bubrežnih stanica. Pokazalo se da su spomenuti specifični markeri negativni u oba uzorka, odnosno da se nije radilo o metastazi karcinoma bubrega, već o atipičnom meningeomu. Zaključak: Atipični meningeomi paranazalnih šupljina vrlo su rijetka stanja nerazjašnjene etiologije. Radikalna kirurška ekscizija bi trebala biti glavni cilj, kako bi se smanjila pojava recidiva. S obzirom na to da su atipični meningeomi skloni recidiviranju, potrebno je redovito praćenje takvih bolesnika.

Published: March 2023

Background: Ketamine is widely used in pediatric sedation. New studies have recommended combination therapy to reduce the side effects of ketamine. Objectives: This study investigated the effect of adding intravenous (IV) lidocaine to ketamine on hemodynamic parameters, endoscopist satisfaction, and recovery time of children undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy. Methods: This triple-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial was conducted in Isfahan, Iran (2021). One hundred twenty children between the ages of 1 and 6 were enrolled. Patients were divided into 2 groups. The intervention group received 1.0 mg/kg of IV lidocaine and 1.0 mg/kg of IV ketamine, and the placebo group received 1.0 mg/kg of IV ketamine and placebo 2 minutes before entering the endoscopic room. Patients in both groups were sedated with 1.0 mg/kg of propofol, 0.1 mg/kg of midazolam, and 2.0 ug/kg of fentanyl for the procedure. The pulse rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation were recorded 1 minute before injection and every 5 minutes afterward. Results: The mean (SD) ages of the intervention and control groups were 3.4 (1.5) and 3.4 (1.7), respectively. The mean difference in hemodynamic parameters between the 2 groups was insignificant during the investigation (P > 0.05). Furthermore, no significant differences were found regarding endoscopist satisfaction scores and length of recovery room stay (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Adding low-dose IV lidocaine to ketamine for pediatric sedation does not significantly affect the hemodynamic status, endoscopist satisfaction, and recovery time.

Introduction: Intramedullary ependymoma (IE) is adults' most common intramedullary spinal tumor. Tumors usually extend one to eight segments in the cervical region. In this case report, we reported a patient with massive IE spanning from the fourth ventricle to the T4 segment of the spinal cord, which surgically treated with laminectomy from occiput to T4 Case Presentation: A 42-year-old man who is a known case of IE with progressive upper extremities paraesthesia and gait disturbance. Four years ago he refused surgery and presented with dysphagia. The patient's MRI demonstrated an intramedullary spinal cord tumor extending from the fourth ventricle to T4. Conclusions: massive spinal ependymoma is a rare, benign, slow-growing tumor, and patients present symptoms years before diagnosis. Upon confirmation of the diagnosis, the tumor must be surgically removed.

Published: March 2023

Eye tracking metrics provide information about cognitive function and basic oculomotor characteristics. There have been many studies analyzing eye tracking signals using different algorithms. However, these algorithms generally are based on the initial setting parameter. This might cause the subjective interpretation of eye tracking analysis. The main aim of this study was to develop a data-driven algorithm to detect fixations and saccades without any subjective settings. Three subjects were included in this study. Eye tracking signal was acquired with the VIVE Pro Eye in virtual reality (VR) environment while subjects were reading a paragraph. The algorithms based on the calculation of threshold were employed to calculate eye metrics including total fixation duration, total fixation number, total saccades number and average pupil diameter. The proposed algorithm, which is based on calculating the initial threshold, based on mean, and standard deviation of eye tracking signal within experiment duration, gave the same results obtained adaptive filtering reported in literature (average fixation duration for three subjects= 11515 ms ± 6951.2, average fixation count for three subjects= 17.33 ± 4.16). On the other hand, our proposed algorithm didn’t use any certain objective parameter as like adaptive filtering. As a conclusion, VIVE Pro Eye may be utilized as an eye movement assessment device, and, the suggested approach might be utilized to analyze objective eye tracking metrics.

Biomathematical analysis on impedance measurement during COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Zhao Bin
Published: March 2023

The coating impedance size can reflect the aging degree of the coating to a certain extent; therefore, the measurement of the coating impedance size can monitor the aging degree of the coating in real time. Since the coating is traditionally considered as an insulating medium, its impedance value before aging is as high as 10^8 Ω or more, it is difficult to achieve accurate impedance measurement, and the current generated by loading by voltammetry at low voltage is very weak and easily affected by external electromagnetic interference noise, and the measurement accuracy is low. In this paper, by pluralizing the high impedance, establishing the mathematical model of differential amplification circuit, and then using sinusoidal fitting in which processing, so that the obtained signal is more accurate during COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: March 2023

Background: Despite recent advances in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) management, morbidity and mortality in this population remain exceptionally high. Persistent, low-grade inflammation has been recognized as an important component of CKD, playing a unique role in its pathophysiology and being accountable in part for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, as well as contributing to the development of protein-energy wasting. Material and methods; This study was conducted on CKD patients attending OPD & IPD of Civil Hospital tarn taran. The participants having age more than 18 years & less than 60 years. We assessed 120 individuals out of 60 are normal healthy individuals comprising the control groups & rest 60 is of CKD cases. Serum CRP (mg/dl) concentration was measured by Latex agglutination test & ESR (mm/hour) was measured by Wintrobe’s method. Serum Creatinine (mg/dl), Urea (mg/dl) & Uric acid (mg/dl) concentration was measured by Modified Jaffe’s method, Urease & Uricase method respectively. Results: - In the present study, serum CRP & ESR was increased in CKD patients. The mean serum CRP levels of CKD patients & controls were 33.55 ± 22.8 & 2.07 ± 6121 respectively (p< 0.001), highly significant result was observed. Mean level of serum ESR (40.25 ± 14.93) of cases shows statistical significant differences as compared with the mean of serum ESR of controls (13.50 ± 3.421). Conclusion: - CRP & ESR are the markers used to evaluate kidney disease, however, each of these has its own limitation. The use of these inflammatory biomarkers may better assess overall patients’ risk & be able to stage patients more appropriately.
