The Original Article was published on 10 February 2023The article mentioned above, which was published online on 10th of October, 2023, in Barw Medical Journal (Complications of Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair Using Mesh: A Single Cohort Study), has been retracted as a result of an agreement between the journal's Editor in Chief, Professor Kawkab Shishani, and Barw Publisher. The publisher learned from a third party that several articles had similar formats and structures. Also, there was a conflict between the authors; not all authors approved the last version of the manuscript. These all lead to the decision to retract it. The authors did not respond to the notification of retraction.
Afflicted by these nations originate from the activities of multinational corporations or the global demand for certain goods. There is a moral imperative for developed countries and international organizations to assist in the fight against environmental pollution and its health repercussions.
In conclusion, environmental pollution is not merely an economic or ecological issue; it is a profound public health crisis with cancer at its forefront. As developing countries continue their journey toward growth and development, ensuring a balance between progress and environmental stewardship is crucial. Failure to address this balance will not only undermine health outcomes but also threaten the sustainable future of these nations. The time to act is now, with concerted efforts from local, national, and global stakeholders to mitigate the risks and safeguard the well-being of current and future generations.
Hedge Fonlar ve Long Term Capital Management Örnek Olayı
Authors: Bayraktar Ahmet
Published: October 2024

Hedge fonu kavramı, genel olarak, kurumsal ve bireysel yatırımcıların yatırım yaptığı alternatif yatırım türlerinden biri olarak nitelendirilmektedir. Özellikle, 1980’li yıllardan itibaren internet kullanımının yaygınlaşması finansal piyasalara katılımı artırmış ve yeni finansal araçların geliştirilmesi yeni yatırım fırsatları yaratmıştır. Bu gelişmelerin etkisiyle, son yıllarda, bu tür fonların hem fon sayısı hem de fonlara yatırılan miktar önemli ölçüde artmıştır. Söz konusu fonlar, çeşitli yatırım stratejileri ile yatırımcılarına zarar riskine karşı koruma, düşük risk üstlenerek yüksek getiri sağlama ve çeşitlendirme gibi faydalar sağlayabilmektedir. Ayrıca, fiyat belirleme mekanizmaları, arbitraj faaliyetleri ve likidite artırımı sayesinde finansal piyasaları daha verimli ve istikrarlı hale getirebilmektedir. Bununla birlikte, bu fonlar yüksek kaldıraç kullanmaları nedeniyle oldukça riskli de olabilmektedir. Piyasa göstergelerindeki olumsuz hareketler fon varlıklarının değerini düşürebilmektedir. Ayrıca, özellikle, büyük hedge fonların finansal başarısızlığı, finansal piyasaların geneli üzerinde istikrarsızlık potansiyeli taşıyabilmektedir. Sektörün yüksek kaldıraçlı bir hedge fonu olan Long Term Capital Management (LTCM) 1998'de, 1997 Asya ve 1998 Rusya mali krizlerinin birleşik baskılarının yanı sıra üstlendiği aşırı riskler nedeniyle başarısızlığa uğramıştır. LTCM örneği, yüksek kaldıraçlı fonların risklerinin iyi yönetilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda, çalışmada, öncelikli olarak hedge fon kavramı, stratejileri, fayda ve maliyetleri tanımlanmaktadır. Daha sonra uygulamada yaşanan LTCM finansal başarısızlık örneği incelenmektedir. Sonuç kısmında ise, LTCM örnek olayı çerçevesinde, genel bir değerlendirme yapılmaktadır.

Authors: Liu Ting , Ni Xiaoyong , Shu Miaohan , Ma Dafeng , Sun Jiawei
Published: October 2024

Terrorist attacks are a significant threat to global security as they can cause a large number of deaths, economic losses, and trigger public panic. This paper focuses on the Gulf states as the survey region. This study comprehensively investigates the correlation between national-scale terrorist attacks and various potential factors in the social, political, economic, and military fields, based on the Spearman rank coefficient and gray correlation analysis. The potential factors are divided into two categories: those with a positive correlation and those with a negative correlation to terrorist attacks. The study shows a strong correlation between the adolescent fertility rate (births per 1,000 women aged 15-19) and the occurrence of terrorist attacks. This correlation has not been previously noted in relevant studies, indicating a need for greater attention to be paid to the impact of terrorist attacks on the human rights of children and adolescents.
Accounting for Systemic Risk in Analysis of Crisis Scenarios
Authors: Gonzalez Jose Julio , Abbas Reem , Paulsen Sigurd
Published: October 2024

Systemic risk is ubiquitous in our increasingly globalised world owing to the interconnections within and across sectors. However, a review of National Risk Assessments performed in OECD member countries reveals that systemic risk is rarely mentioned, and it is never accounted for in those assessments. A powerful method accounts for systemic risk and identifies mitigating strategies using participatory modelling with stakeholders: strategy mapping with Strategyfinder. The risk model is represented as a directed graph consisting of risk nodes and directed edges (arrows) expressing causal influences. The method originated in the management of large, complex projects, and it has been applied to systemic risks in critical infrastructures and pandemics. We demonstrate the Strategyfinder method using a scenario describing a cyberattack on electronic communication infrastructure leading to serious consequences for health and lives. The scenario is borrowed from the report Analysis of Risk Scenarios by the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection.
Occupational Exposure and HIV Prevalence among Healthcare Workers: Risks, Prevention, and Management Strategies
Authors:   School of Natural and Applied Sciences Kampala International University Uganda, Maina Mwaura F.
Published: October 2024

Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at heightened risk of occupational exposure to HIV due to their frequent interaction with blood and bodily fluids. This exposure led to potential HIV transmission if not managed promptly and effectively. This review provided a comprehensive examination of the risks associated with HIV exposure among HCWs, exploring the prevalence of such incidents, and evaluating current prevention and management strategies. Key risks included needlestick injuries and blood splashes, with prevalence varying significantly by region, particularly in areas with high HIV burden. Prevention strategies encompassed adherence to standard precautions, use of safety-engineered devices, comprehensive training, and the provision of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). Effective management involved immediate post-exposure assessment, timely administration of PEP, regular follow-up care, and access to counseling services. The review synthesizes recent research and clinical evidence, utilizing a systematic analysis of literature and guidelines to inform best practices in HIV risk management for HCWs. By addressing these strategies, the review aimed to enhance safety protocols and improve health outcomes within healthcare settings. Keywords: Occupational Exposure, Healthcare Workers, HIV Prevention, Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP), Infection Control.
Socioeconomic and Environmental Risk Factors for Malaria in Young Children: A Review
Authors:   School of Natural and Applied Sciences Kampala International Uganda, Katu Amina H.
Published: October 2024

Malaria remained a significant public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, disproportionately affecting children under five years of age. Understanding the socioeconomic and environmental risk factors associated with malaria in this vulnerable population was crucial for developing targeted interventions to reduce transmission and improve health outcomes. This review examined the complex interplay between socioeconomic status, housing conditions, environmental factors, and malaria risk among young children. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to synthesize current research findings on the topic. Key socioeconomic determinants included household income, maternal education, and access to preventive measures. Children from low-income families were at higher risk due to limited resources for malaria prevention and treatment, as well as poorer living conditions that facilitate mosquito breeding. Environmental factors such as proximity to stagnant water bodies, inadequate sanitation, and climate variability further exacerbated malaria transmission. The review highlighted the need for multifaceted approaches that address both biological and social determinants of health to effectively reduce the burden of malaria among children under five in sub-Saharan Africa. Keywords: Malaria, Socioeconomic factors, Environmental factors, young children, Sub-Saharan Africa
Effectiveness of Preventive Measures against Malaria in Children
Authors:   Faculty of Medicine Kampala International University Uganda, Nalongo Bina K.
Published: October 2024

Malaria was a significant global health challenge, particularly affecting children under five years of age in endemic regions. This review examined the effectiveness of various preventive measures against malaria in children, including insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), preventive chemotherapy, intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi), and health education interventions. A systematic literature search across multiple databases to collate and analyze studies assessing the impact of these preventive measures on malaria outcomes in children was carried out and utilized in compiling this review paper. The findings indicated that a combination of these strategies can substantially reduce malaria incidence and associated morbidity in children. ITNs have been shown to provide a protective barrier against mosquito bites, while IPTi effectively reduces malaria cases in infants through timely administration of antimalarial drugs during immunization visits. Additionally, health education interventions have proven effective in increasing awareness and promoting the use of preventive measures among caregivers and communities. Despite the progress made, challenges such as insecticide resistance and access to healthcare services remain critical barriers to achieving optimal malaria control.

Advances in Artemisinin Resistance: Mechanisms, Detection, and Novel Therapeutic Approaches
Authors:   Faculty of Medicine Kampala International University Uganda, Namukasa Mugerwa F.
Published: October 2024

Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) have been instrumental in reducing global malaria mortality over the past two decades. However, the rise of artemisinin resistance, particularly in Southeast Asia and parts of Africa, threatened these gains. Artemisinin resistance was characterized by delayed parasite clearance and is primarily driven by mutations in the kelch13 (K13) gene, which reduce the drug’s efficacy. This review explored the mechanisms behind artemisinin resistance, including genetic mutations, parasite stress responses, and reduced ring-stage sensitivity. Detection strategies, such as the use of molecular markers like K13 mutations and in vitro phenotypic assays, were discussed in detail. To combat resistance, novel therapeutic approaches were emerging, including the optimization of ACTs, the use of triple-drug regimens, host-directed therapies, and gene-editing technologies. The article highlighted the need for new antimalarial drugs, improved diagnostic tools, and global collaboration to address this growing challenge. We conducted the review by analyzing recent literature and summarizing advances in both resistance mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. Finally, future directions were outlined, emphasizing the importance of research, regulatory frameworks, and investment to mitigate the spread of resistance and ensure effective malaria control. Keywords: Artemisinin resistance, K13 mutations, malaria treatment, combination therapies, gene editing, host-directed therapies.

Published: October 2024

The adoption of K–12 program wanted to produce better proficient pupils with the skills needed for both job and lifetime study. Though the Department of Education (DepEd) emphasized the need for many teachers, issues like the number of students enrolled in the program and the subjects that require specialized instruction tend to increase. Instructors end up teaching subjects other than their area of expertise, which is a problem that schools all around the country are still facing today. This qualitative-phenomenology study carried out a small-scale interview that investigated the challenges faced by teachers who had to teach multiple subject areas. Teachers (n=8) were purposively sampled according to their subject areas. Thematic analysis indicated that teachers were troubled of teaching multiple subject areas because of the preparation process they need to consider, the difference in teaching materials and even their teaching methods matter. Some noted that the process was not effective because the subject mastery was insufficient. These have major implications in education in the Philippines especially it was a common practice to give teaching loads to teachers having competence beyond their area of expertise. This highlighted the need to reevaluate teaching assignments and strategies for professional development to ensure that educators have the necessary competence to effectively teach in different subject areas.

Authors: S. Savellon Kaiser Isham , S. Asiri Masnona , Chavez Jason V.
Published: October 2024

Public speaking skills are essential for academic leaders because of the nature of their roles and responsibilities within educational institutions. As leaders, they often serve as spokespersons for their departments or institutions, representing their vision, goals, and achievements to various stakeholders, including students, faculty, administrators, and external partners. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of academic leaders who experience public speaking woes. This study explored their professional resources and alternative strategies to cope with public speaking anxiety. Purposive sampling (n=20) was carried out to sample the Filipino academic leaders from the basic education and higher education institutions (HEIs). The findings highlighted the importance of targeted support and resources, such as professional development workshops and a supportive learning environment, in enhancing their public speaking skills and confidence. The adoption of coping mechanisms, including regular practice and exposure to different speaking opportunities, emerged as crucial strategies for academic leaders to manage their public speaking woes effectively. These findings underscored the need for ongoing training and support initiatives to empower academic leaders in their roles and cultivate an environment conducive to their professional growth and development.
Stress levels of science teachers when delivering distance education instruction in a state college during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Quisay Aldrin Rey C. , C. Aquino Micah Ezra
Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically reshaped education worldwide, compelling institutions to rapidly adopt distance education models. Among those most affected are science educators, who face unique challenges in transitioning traditional classroom instruction to virtual platforms. Understanding the stressors experienced by science teachers during this shift is crucial not only for their well-being but also for the effectiveness of educational delivery. This study aims to investigate the stress levels and sources of stress experienced by science teachers at Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology (ZSCMST) during the shift to distance education. The specific objectives were to determine the overall stress levels, identify the least stressful pre-identified causes of stress, compare the significance of different categories of stressors, and develop an intervention program based on the findings. A descriptive comparative research design with a quantitative approach was used, involving a purposive sample of 45 science teachers. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, which included sections on demographic information, perceived stress levels, and specific stressors related to professional skills, technical skills, work-home conflict, and support systems. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA. The results indicated that science teachers experienced moderate to high levels of stress, with professional and technical skills being the most prominent stressors. Support systems, although somewhat helpful, still contributed to the overall stress levels. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to alleviate these stressors, such as professional development programs, enhanced support systems, and policies addressing work-home conflict. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of addressing the specific stressors identified to improve the well-being of science teachers and the effectiveness of distance education. Further research is recommended to develop and evaluate interventions aimed at reducing teacher stress, enhancing teaching effectiveness, and understanding the long-term impact of these interventions in digital environments.

Parteien, die bei einer Wahl Erfolg haben wollen, sind darauf angewiesen, im öffentlichen Diskurs Gehör zu finden. In diesem Sommer gab es zwei Versuche, sich in eine bereits konzipierte, unmittelbar vor der Wahl stattfindende Diskussionsveranstaltung einzuklagen. Die verwaltungsgerichtlichen Entscheidungen dieser Verfahren divergieren zwar in ihrem Tenor. Beide deuten jedoch auf eine neue Linie in der Rechtsprechung zur Vorwahlberichterstattung hin, die auch für die Bundestagswahl im kommenden Jahr noch relevant werden könnte und die kritisch zu betrachten ist.
The impact of attending a more selective college on future income
Authors: Ho Edward , Ye Jingying
Published: October 2024

There have been many debates regarding legacy preferences, recruited athletes, and affirmative action in the U.S. college admission system. These issues hinge upon the premise that being accepted into a more selective institution would result in higher future earnings for graduates. We hypothesized that graduating from a more selective college could increase a student’s future earnings by providing students with more learning resources, connections, and opportunities. If this is the case, then we expected there to be a significant positive correlation between college selectivity and future earnings even after accounting for selection bias, as more selective schools tend to admit students who already demonstrate characteristics correlated with future success. We used weighted linear regressions to determine if college selectivity is a significant indicator of future income based on institutional level data from students entering college in 2001. Before controlling for measurable student characteristics before enrollment, attending a more selective college appeared to have a significant positive effect on future income. However, when we adjusted for measurable student characteristics such as SAT scores, race, gender, major choice, and parental income, the selectivity of the college attended became statistically insignificant. Thus, attending a selective school may not have a significant effect on the median predicted income of students, meaning that programs influencing college admissions, like affirmative action, may not have significant effects of future incomes.
SELF: From One to Many and Back to None
Authors: Nešić Janko
Published: October 2024

I had my first electroencephalogram done when I was eight years old. This uncomfortable ritual involved scrubbing the scalp with alcohol at specific points and attaching electrodes to those points to record the brain activity. After the preparation, the machine started buzzing, an endless sheet of paper was fed in, and the inked waveform patterns emerged. A cryptic chronicle of what I was thinking and feeling, of Me, being written in real-time for everyone to see. Could the doctors observe what I was thinking about them and their tedious procedure? Well, even at that age, I did know that they could not see my thoughts, though they could observe if I was drowsing off, that is, if I was not doing what they had instructed me to do, and this made me anxious and scared. Afterwards, looking at this thick book of wavy etchings, which depicted only half an hour of my conscious life, I was not able to connect it with myself; how was this about Me? What did these waves on paper say about me and my experiences? The disconnection between what is inside and what outside, the first and third-person perspectives, still haunts me today as it did when I was a child, although I did not refer to it as such.

Systemic Therapy Options for Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Authors: Tanvetyanon Tawee , Simon George R.
Published: October 2024

Peritoneal mesothelioma is an uncommon malignancy affecting approximately 300 new patients annually in the United States. Due to its low incidence, prospective clinical trials specific to this disease are scant. Recommendations regarding systemic therapy are mostly extrapolated from clinical trials conducted among patients with pleural mesothelioma. At present, the recommended first-line systemic treatment options may include immunotherapy with nivolumab plus ipilimumab or chemotherapy with pemetrexed plus either cisplatin or carboplatin. For second-line treatment, the other previously unchosen first-line option can be used. Off-label bevacizumab may be considered in combination with chemotherapy among carefully selected patients. The benefit of third-line treatment or beyond is less clear. Nonetheless, a number of single-agent regimens show modest activity. Anecdotal reports of children or young adults with peritoneal mesothelioma harboring ALK rearrangement have suggested the efficacy of ALK inhibitors for this rare population. In summary, there is a growing number of systemic therapy options for peritoneal mesothelioma. To gain a better insight into this disease, future prospective trials in mesothelioma should include more patients with peritoneal mesothelioma.
Opioid Sparing Techniques for the Sports Medicine and Shoulder Procedures
Authors: Kamdar Parth M. , Sethi Paul M.
Published: October 2024

Persistent opioid use after orthopedic surgery is a well-recognized complication, with as many as 20 percent of patients still consuming opiates at 180 days postoperative. The ongoing opioid epidemic has resulted in a three-fold increase in deaths attributed to prescription opioids from 2001 to 2016 and has reignited with the COVID-19 pandemic. Orthopedic surgeons are among the largest prescribers of opioid medications and must find ways to be responsible stewards of these drugs. We describe an environment of over prescription evidence-based methodology to provide patients with the appropriate relief without reliance on opiates, the historical mainstay of pain control. This is achieved by utilizing a multimodal approach consisting of education, as well as local, regional, and systemic analgesics.
Towards a Computational Theory of Perceptions under Neutrosophic Environment
Authors: Paraskevas Antonios
Published: October 2024

Computing and reasoning with perceptions in AI are shifting from traditional methods to those that mimic human cognitive processes. Humans intuitively measure and evaluate without explicit computations, using sensory input and past experiences for quick judgments. The theory of perceptions can enhance AI's ability to replicate human-like assessment by providing a framework for handling the nuances of human reasoning. Traditionally, information granularity is either crisp (c-granular) or fuzzy (f-granular), focusing on measurement-based and perception-based information. This paper outlines a neutrosophic-based computational theory of perceptions (n-CTP), introducing neutrosophic granular (n-granular) information and neutrosophic constraint-centered semantics of natural languages (n-CSNL). Based on the neutrosophy theory, which deals with truth, falsity, and indeterminacy, managing uncertainties and vagueness in real-world data can be done more effectively than with traditional methods. The n-CTP has the potential to enhance AI's ability to process and reason with complex, uncertain, and ambiguous information.

Published: October 2024

La transformación educativa sobre la base de un gobierno digital es un procedimiento que considera la integración de individualidades para afrontar las nuevas complejidades que requieren atención continua. El estudio se desarrolló gracias a la investigación pura, el enfoque cualitativo, la revisión sistemática de cuatro investigaciones indexadas en bases de datos de citas, tales como Scopus y Web of Science, y la declaración Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (Prisma). Se orientó a la sensibilización respecto a las disimilitudes que permitieron el entendimiento de las cogniciones a modo de plantear alternativas que no aumenten la brecha suscitada por la falta de recursos. Se evidenció que la educación es una de las razones por las cuales la gobernanza emite dictámenes para mantener la continuidad del aprendizaje y la formulación de soluciones ante conflictos identitarios. Se concluyó que la cíclica de la enseñanza-aprendizaje se fomenta gracias a un gobierno digital también construido sobre la base de tal perennación a modo de facilitar la identificación de nuevas oportunidades para desarrollar la habilidad de integrar realidades transparente y equitativamente

SOIL NUTRIENT ENRICHMENT IN THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT WITH MATHEMATICAL INTERPRETATIONS: MISTRAL ALGORITHM
Authors: Ram Baidyanath , Kumar Singh Vikash
Published: October 2024

Soil consists of particulate matter like loose earth, minerals, and essential nutrients, all required to cultivate botanical species carefully. The varying presence of soil attributes like alkalinity, humus, topsoil, Farm Yard Manure (FYM), organic matter, and Phyto-nutrients is an active area of research. Macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients present in soil overlook the amount of water consumed or produced as part of an agricultural process. Specific standard measures of soil attributes have been considered in past research. Forestation is also necessary to sustain agricultural land by providing rain-fed irrigation while ensuring low soil erosion levels. It is ascertained that a certain amount of the earth’s well-being is linked to crop cycles and agricultural production levels. In this research work, an algorithm called MISTRAL (Soil nutrient enrichment in the Indian Subcontinent with Mathematical Interpretations) is presented, which can be utilized to enrich soil nutrients and soil well-being levels leading to an overall increase in the net agricultural output in the Indian subcontinent.
