Authors: Olonade Zaccheaus O. , Ajibola Kolawole Sunday , Omotoye Oluwatobi O.
Published: December 2020

Background: Employee commitment primarily focuses on strong bonds between the organization and its employees. It has massive positive effects on organizations. Investigating the combined influence of the assorted psychological factors like work-family conflict, job stress and self-concept on perceived job commitment among employees of Local Government authority is helpful.

Objective: The study investigates the antecedents of perceived job commitment among employees of Local Government in Ilesha Metropolis.

Methods: Antecedents of perceived job commitment in this study are work-family conflict, job stress, and self-concept. The study has adopted survey method within a descriptive research design. The objective of the study was to determine the influence of work-family conflict, job stress and self-concept on perceived job commitment. Primary data were used. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that had five scales in likert scale including personal data. 238 respondents, randomly selected across the three local government areas in Ilesha Metropolis, were used for the study. Only 189 questionnaires were returned, out of which 124 were found to be useful for the study.

Results: Three hypotheses were tested and they revealed that self-concept, work-family conflict and job stress jointly have a positive and significant impact on perceived job performance. Furthermore, work-family conflict (β = 0.173; t = 9.119; p<.05), job stress (β = 1.170; t = 7.458; p<.05), and self-concept (β = 0.064; t = 2.444; p<.05) independently predicted perceived job commitment to be at 5% level.

Conclusions: The study has found that factors, like work-family conflict, job stress and self-concept, significantly predict the perceived job commitment among employees of local government in Ilesha Metropolis. The finding of the study implies that the antecedents of employee's job commitment are important variables. Governments, employers of labour, human resource practitioners and psychologists need to give more attention to these variables, especially among local government employees and related workforce, for the increase in employee commitment. The study recommends that governments should adopt welfare approaches in tackling issues around work-family conflict, job stress and self-concept to improve employee job commitment.

Authors: Mandikiana Memory Rumbidzai Virginia
Published: December 2020

Background: This paper was premised on the educational learning gap created by the COVID-19 Pandemic induced schools’ closure in Zimbabwe and the world in 2020. Approximately, 1,576 billion, 297 million and 4,6 million learners globally, in Africa and in Zimbabwe respectively, are attending schools and their learning process is interrupted because of the COVID-19 Pandemic in many different ways across the globe. Developed countries adopted innovations to ensure continuity of educational learning, however, developing countries like Zimbabwe, were caught unaware. Already battling with a crippled economy, severe natural disasters induced by climate change, this paper investigates a relatively new and demanding curriculum, the Zimbabwe education system’s capacity to adopt to the changes induced by COVID-19 Pandemic.

Objective: The study has three objectives: to unearth if stakeholders are appreciative of the importance and dictates of Zimbabwe’s Competency-Based Curriculum; to ascertain if e-learning can ensure the continued provision of education during and after the COVID-19 era and other pandemics that may arise in the future; and to establish which method of education instruction is preferred by Zimbabweans, either during or after the COVID-19 Pandemic period.

Methods: A mixed method research design was used to collect both qualitative and quantitative data. Considering that data collection was done at the peak of the COVID-19 period, physical contact was avoided and the research was largely hinged on an online questionnaire and interview sessions. Focus group discussions were however, also conducted when it was expedient to do so, to qualify some of the quantitative responses provided by respondents.

Results: Results showed that stakeholders were inadequately consulted about the ‘new curriculum’, that education innovation to adopt e-learning is required, and that Zimbabweans prefer to have a dual method of education instruction through e-learning and in the traditional classroom set-up.

Conclusions: The government needs to consult stakeholders, create synergies with partners to implement educational technologies and provide the necessary precautionary equipment in schools prior to re-opening.

Background: This study investigates the academic performance of students, enrolled at the University of Lahore, Pakistanto different programs in Spring-2019. The study measuredthe academic performance of students using the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). The variables under consideration were academic performance(students’ percentage, CGPA, and GPA). A total number of nine hundred and fifty eight (958) students were enrolled in Spring-19 with CGPA’s in Undergraduate BS (Hons) Programs, (246) Graduate (MS/MPhil.) Programs, and (11) Postgraduate (Ph.D.) Programs.

Objective: The report aims to identify the relationship between percentage of marks with undergraduates and graduates, enrolled at the University of Lahore, Pakistan to different programs in Spring-2019.

Methods:  Undergraduate BS (Hons), Graduate (MS/M.Phil.) and Postgraduate (PhD) students were taken as the target population for the research sample. Data were collected with the help of an array of technology support, and management. For analysis, the frequency analysis, descriptive analysis and correlation are used through the aid of Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 23.

Results: Results show that the performance of students, enrolled with a weak academic background, had poor performance in enrolled programs. On the other hand, students, enrolled with high academic background, maintained their excellent performance in the first semester of their enrolled programs. Also, we observe that the students who were enrolled with a high percentage of marks show poor and average performance in the first semester.

Conclusions: We can infer from this analysis that only the students who were enrolled with a high percentage can achieve a high GPA in the semester. And likewise, students who weren’t enrolled with a good percentage of marks cannot achieve a high GPA in the first semester.

The COVID-19 Virus Wears Stiletto: Review of Gendered Socio-economic Impacts and Implications of the Corona virus Pandemic on Women and Girls in Zimbabwe
Authors: Chigiya-Mujeni Ruvarashe
Published: December 2020

Background: With its ability to mutate and take charge of its hosts’ respiratory organs, COVID-19 has ravaged the global north and south alike. The world’s greatest economies are crumbling and death tolls continue to rise exponentially. The most recent strain of the coronavirus has spread like wildfire, sparing neither the rich nor the poor. It is pertinent, however, to note that natural disasters do not affect members of society unilaterally. Women, children and the disabled interact with global and national disasters differently, highlighting the urgent need to take cognizance of the various elements that constitute the measures drafted and implemented to tackle the spread and impact of these disasters.

Objective:This paper seeks to demonstrate these intricacies based on the webinar seminar held in March 2020 by UN Women in Zimbabwe and discuss the impact and implications of this virus on women and girls in Zimbabwe and bring out the challenges faced as they fight the virus in various socioeconomic settings

Methods: A desk review approach was used to highlight the various gender dimensions surrounding the coronavirus and its implications on women and girls in Zimbabwe.

Results: Women, due to their multiple roles and biological makeup, are more vulnerable to succumb to this disease and besides their biological disposition women are impacted differently and negatively by the pandemic.

Conclusions: There is a need to take a holistic approach in dealing with issues of the pandemic without ignoring the fact that women are on the receiving end.

Implications: This paper is useful to policy makers, institutions working on COVID-19 and government to take necessary actions.

Authors: Huysamen Cornelia , Olivier Benita , Naidoo Vaneshveri , Stewart Aimee
Published: December 2020

Purpose: The aims of our study were to (1) describe the tests that physiotherapists use to assess lumbopelvic movement control and (2) compare physiotherapists’ and physiotherapy students’ ability to evaluate lumbar movement dysfunction in patients with non-specific low back pain (NSLBP). Method: A quantitative, observational, cross-sectional study design was used. A total of 93 qualified physiotherapists and 96 students participated in our study. The physiotherapists reported whether they were familiar with lumbopelvic movement control tests and indicated which tests they used to assess lumbopelvic movement control (Part 1). Both the physiotherapists and the students evaluated and classified lumbopelvic movement control while observing videos of patients with NSLBP (Part 2). The responses from physiotherapists and students were described and compared between the two groups using the Fisher exact test ( p ≤ 0.05). Odds ratios were calculated in terms of years of experience and level of education. Results: A total of 80 physiotherapists (86%) were familiar with lumbopelvic movement control tests, but only a few were using those tests as part of the assessment of patients; 12 (13%) used waiter’s bow; 16 (17%) used rocking forward; 17 (18%) used rocking backward; 32 (34%) used sitting knee extension; 34 (37%) used prone knee flexion; and 70 (75%) used posterior pelvic tilt. The physiotherapy students and qualified physiotherapists generally agreed on the ratings of most of the videos (e.g., as correct or incorrect). A difference was found in only 3 of 24 videos for both the qualified physiotherapists and the physiotherapy students ( p = 0.001, p = 0.007, and p = 0.033, respectively), which indicates that qualified physiotherapists and students agreed and classified 21 videos the same. No differences were found in the ability of physiotherapists (regardless of experience) or students to classify patients as presenting with either a flexion or an extension pattern. Conclusions: The majority of physiotherapists were familiar with lumbopelvic movement control tests, but only a few used them. Both the physiotherapists and the students were able to classify patients with NSLBP presenting with either a flexion or an extension pattern.

Published: December 2020

There is great controversy about the use and non-use of anti-inflammatories during the COVID19 epidemic. From the beginning, the information that has been circulating worldwide presents contradictions. The information from the world health organization (WHO), which presents contradictions on the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, is followed up. The seriousness of these indecisions and their consequences are discussed. It is shown that, due to the indifference to attack this disease in its initial stage, by giving patients only painkillers that mask the advance of COVID-19; by making the patient think that he is healing when in fact his illness is worsening. We include a timeline where the opinions and clinical studies on this subject are observed. Including recent favourable results with the use of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Published: December 2020

All the countries of the world have been taking all the possible precautionary measures to combat COVID-19. In India, although there are many states which were affected by this flareup, the authors had taken only two states, i.e., Kerala and Rajasthan. Both the states did their best to combat this pandemic. Kerala was the first state to witness the first case in India on 30th January 2020 whereas in Rajasthan, the first case was tested on 2nd March 2020. After announcing this flareup as a pandemic by WHO, all the states did their best to break the chain of transmission, till date the recovery rate of India is 63.30%, Kerala is 47%, and Rajasthan is 73%. The high rate of recovery and low rate of case fatality show the benefits of early lockdown and the precautionary measures taken by Government of India and State governments (Kerala and Rajasthan). This paper implies the comparative study of all the precautionary measures and situation of COVID-19 in the two states.

Published: December 2020

Objectives: The aim was to contribute to the promotion of medicinal plants used in Africa for management of asthma by analyzing their experimental pharmacological evaluation data. Methods: We carried out a systematic review of the literature based on the following research equations in English and in French: « médecine traditionnelle africaine » ET « asthma » ; « African traditional medicine » AND « asthma » or « Medicine African traditional » AND « asthma » ; « plantes médicinales » ET « asthma » ET « antispasmodique » ; «medicinal plants » AND « asthma » AND « anti-spasmodic » ; « plantes médicinales » ET « asthma » ET « anti-inflammatoire » ; «medicinal plants » AND « asthma » AND « anti-inflammatory ». Results: The study revealed 184 medicinal plants used in Africa for the treatment of asthma, 34 of which showed pharmacological properties in favor of their use. In animal experiments, 18 of these plants exerted a spasmolytic effect, 22 an anti-inflammatory effect and 6 both effects. The spasmolytic activity study protocols were based primarily on inhibition of smooth airway muscle contraction, including trachea, induced by various spasmogenic agents. As for of the methods used to study anti-inflammatory activity, the majority of them consisted of tests for carrageenan-induced edema or for formalin-induced leg irritation. Conclusion: Our results justify the need for standardization of experimental study protocols for the recovery of medicinal plants.
Effect of Pravastatin on Development of Diabetes Mellitus - A Statement of Review
Authors:   Bharat School of Pharmacy, Mangalpally, Ibrahimpatnam, Ranga reddy, Telangana, P.O 501510, India, G Ramu
Published: December 2020

According to the ADA, diabetes mellitus is defined as having fasting blood glucose levels >= 7.0mmol/l. Statins are the lipid-lowering agents used to treat dyslipidemia and act by inhibiting the HMG Co-A reductase enzyme. Very few studies have reported the results of drugs concerning the profile of blood lipids or which have anti-inflammatory activity behaviour on diabetes. Pravastatin is such a drug that shows inherent beneficial pleiotropic effects on plasma lipids and inflammatory actions. Pravastatin remarkably reduced the increased levels of plasma glucose when compared with the control group, subjecting to no change in body weight or food intake in mice. By performing certain insulin tolerance tests using tracers like 2- [3 H]-deoxy glucose (2DG), they concluded that insulin-induced glucose uptake is increased in adipose tissue. Pravastatin is shown to reduce the circulating concentration of the interleukin-6, cytokines, and TNF-alpha. Pravastatin's anti-inflammatory properties interrupt the natural progression from central obesity to insulin resistance mediated by cytokines from the adipose tissue. Pravastatin can significantly impact selective tissue perfusion through restoring the endothelial function and thus benefit the transportation of glucose and insulin.
Peculiarataes of the legal nature of the institution of adoption in Ukraine
Authors:   National University of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine, Larysa Knyazka
Published: December 2020

The article examines the legal nature of the institution of adoption in Ukraine. It is determined that the issue of the legal nature of adoption in Ukraine will always be relevant, because, according to the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, national adoption is a priority of state policy of Ukraine and an important component of policy to best interests of the child. . It turns out that the activities of all relevant social institutions, including the state, should be aimed at creating such forms of upbringing and maintenance of orphans that could to some extent replace the family. However, all these forms can only mitigate the negative impact on the child's situation, and not fully compensate for the absence of his own family. Adoption is traditionally considered as a family law institution. However, the modern understanding of the place of personal non-property rights in the system of private law relations suggests that the right to adoption is an organic component of them. It is established that adoption is a complex legal act: it reflects the will of persons who have expressed a desire to adopt a child; parents who have consented to the adoption of their child; the child himself; other persons established by law; the will of the state, expressed in the relevant court decision. It is concluded that the most important thing in the study of the institution of adoption is, of course, its secrecy. According to its purpose, the adoption institute is designed to ensure the proper upbringing and maintenance of orphans and children deprived of parental care. Through adoption, a child who has lost his or her parents is placed in another family, has the opportunity to have a family life and upbringing in a family environment, and in the person of adoptive parents acquires people who must replace his or her parents in all respects. A characteristic feature of the Ukrainian institution of adoption is that it is deprived of property and is completely subject to the task of ensuring the rights and legitimate interests of children, their comprehensive protection.

This article is to optimize the assembly of the front wing spar of a transport aircraft. Particular attention is paid to reducing the complexity, assembly cycle and other parameters that determine the efficiency of the process. According to experts, the domestic civil aviation fleet today is characterized as obsolete both morally and physically. The most important advantage of new products is the increased resource provided by the use of new materials, new design and technological solutions. One of such solutions is the widespread use of bent profiles from promising aluminum sheet materials. The presence of a cladding layer, a more uniform structure provides an increased resource. An important part of the production process of an aircraft manufacturing enterprise is assembly work, which largely determines the quality of the product. The main ways to increase the efficiency of assembly work, preparation of production, reduce costs is to increase the manufacturability of products, the creation of new means of production, the wider use of mechanization and automation, as well as the selection of optimal technological processes and means of equipping assembly work in technological design.

The authors made an attempt to complete the colorful characteristic of an Emperor Alexander III in his desire to form a common ideological and economic space on the platform of strengthening the position of Christianity in the Caucasus. The authors supplement the well-known narration of V. A. Potto about the visit to the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia in 1888by Emperor Alexander III, the specific materials from local archives and available sources are provided. The article highlights the activities of the military administration of the Nalchik district to organize a meeting of the Emperor at the station Prokhladnaya and in Vladikavkaz in accordance with the instructions of the head of the Terek region. Extensive material is presented about quotas for the number of delegates to the representative office, the procedure of forming a team, and the financing of expenses related to the meeting procedure. The author focuses on the phenomenon of transformation of the consciousness of the inhabitants of the Caucasus, including people who fought with Russia, under the influence of the socio-economic policy of the autocracy, the centralization of local government institutions. According to the authors, during The Emperor's visit to the Caucasus in 1888, a new phase was laid in the formation of Russian patriotism among the native population based on impressions at meetings and audiences with the Emperor. As the following events in the Russian-Japanese and World War I showed, most students in real, parochial schools demonstrated exceptional bravery and loyalty to the oath to The Russian Emperor.

The effective development of pig breeding depends on the conditions of keeping and feeding, improving the technological process, and the veterinary welfare of farms not only for infectious, but also invasive diseases. Various agents for the treatment and prevention of helminthic diseases have high therapeutic and economic efficiency, but they are not without drawbacks. The aim of the research was to determine the effectiveness of anthelmintic drugs in pigs ascariasis. The objectives of the research were to analyze the incidence and causes of invasive diseases of pigs; to determine the therapeutic efficacy of complex deworming and therapy of ascariasis in piglets; to determine the indicators of the average daily gain in live weight and the safety of piglets. Analyzing the data of the studies, it was found that the factors contributing to the onset of ascariasis in pigs are contaminated soil in 30% of cases, 27% - eating earthworms, 21% - irregular manure cleaning, 17% drinking milk from sick sows, 5% - ingestion of contaminated feed, water and soil. When determining the effectiveness of various anthelmintic drugs, it was found that the best therapeutic effect in the treatment of ascariasis was achieved with the use of the antiparasitic drug Ivermek 1% in combination with the probiotic Vet 1.1 and the vitamin-amino acid complex Vitam.

The history of the formation of the consulting service for agricultural producers in Russia dates back to 1797, and the theoretical justification of its essence and necessity belongs to the russian scientist A.V. Chayanov. In the modern development of agricultural production, the essence of the consulting service remains unchanged, and is supplemented by a wide range of issues, taking into account the conditions of agrarian reform, measures of state support for agricultural producers, natural and climatic features of the region, studying and implementing foreign experience in consulting. At this stage of development of the agricultural sector of the economy, the purpose of functioning of information and consulting services is aimed at increasing the competitiveness of agricultural producers while assisting them in making economically sound management decisions in the implementation of production tasks. The experience of the advisory service to agricultural producers of the state of Israel is recommended for use in the production in the modern agricultural production development in Russia and Republic of Bashkortostan.

Gastrointestinal diseases of farm animals, including Escherichiosis of young cattle, occupy one of the leading places in frequency, mass manifestation and magnitude of damage to farms and mortality of newborn young animals, as well as high costs of medical measures. The incidence of escherichiosis and its spread among young cattle depends not only on the source of infection and susceptible calves, but also on a number of other factors, such as physical inactivity, keeping adult animals with young in the same room, non-observance of the principles of keeping “everything is empty, everything is busy”. Escherichiosis manifests itself mainly in the form of diarrhea. The article presents the results of studies on the dynamics of the incidence of colibacillosis in young cattle from 2004 to 2018, as well as materials on the implementation of therapeutic measures for two groups of calves.
DETERMINING THE ROLE OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND AIR POLLUTION ON PAKISTAN’S ECONOMIC GROWTH: APPLICATION OF AUTOREGRESSIVE DISTRIBUTIVE LAG MODEL (ARDL)
Authors: Baseerat Sultana  , Mansoor Abdul
Published: December 2020

Abstract:

The goals of the study are to observe the impact of energy consumption, CO2 emission on Pakistan’s economic growth by using and annual time series data from 1980 to 2016.  The Auto regressive lag distributive (ARDL) model is applied to find out the correlation between the variables. The short run elasticity shows that CO2 emission, fossil fuel and hydro energy consumption decreases Pakistan’s economic growth, while nuclear energy consumption and electric power consumption substantially increases GDP per capita of the country. In the long run, nuclear energy consumption and electric power generation support country’s economic growth, which need more friendly environmental policies to reduce high mass carbon emissions in a country.

Residência pedagógica: uma discussão epistemológica
Authors: Curado Silva Katia Augusto P. Cordeiro
Published: December 2020

O presente texto objetiva apresentar, de maneira ampla, elementos teóricos e metodológicos sobre a configuração da Residência Pedagógica numa perspectiva crítica emancipadora. O estudo se justifica a partir da compreensão de que a formação de professores tem se constituído, ao longo das últimas décadas, como uma importante pauta no contexto das políticas educacionais desenvolvidas em diferentes países. Por ser considerada como aspecto fundamental para a construção da qualidade na educação, importa-nos discutir a Residência Pedagógica como um dos elementos políticos e pedagógicos da formação que traduzem diferentes valores, princípios e projetos de sociedade. Para tanto, são apresentadas, inicialmente, discussões sobre formação de professores; seguidas da análise conceitual da Residência Pedagógica e a discussão de uma proposta crítica emancipadora. Este caminho, referenciado em estudos bibliográficos sobre a temática, proporcionou desvelar elementos presentes nos projetos de formação de professores que atravessaram historicamente o modo que estes se constituem no Brasil. Dialeticamente, buscou-se estabelecer o desenvolvimento do projeto de formação comprometido com a humanização e a emancipação dos sujeitos, numa perspectiva dialógica que reconhece a educação como uma prática social situada e que toma, como ponto de partida, os contextos de vivência dos sujeitos de forma a construir propostas prenhes de sentido e significado para quem delas participa.

In this work, the photovoltaic panel performance has been investigated theoretically and experimentally where using an array of pin fins as a cooling system. Trying to satisfy the ideal operation conditions of the solar panel, heat sink was fixated on the back of the PV panel to use as a passive technique. An Analytical thermal model based on the steady state and one dimension analysis condition was built to transfer the excess heat from PV panel with the heat sink existing  to predict the operation temperature of PV panel. Theoretical results were compared with experimental results of solar panels cooled by heat sink, in order to validate the suggested thermal model.  Also, the effect of   the solar cells temperature on the panel performance has been studied experimentally. The results displays that using pin fins array as a cooling technique led  to  drop in the average panel's temperature nearly 5.9°C and an enhancement of the average  output power nearly 13.5%.
