Authors: Mohan Sanchit , Kumar Rohit , Ish Pranav , Kaushik Rajnish , Talukdar Tanmaya , Gupta Neeraj , Gupta Nitesh
Published: October 2024

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is characterized by a syndrome of alveolar bleeding, a fall in hemoglobin, and respiratory failure. It can occur because of various immunologic and non-immunologic conditions. The etiology of DAH is important, as treatment varies with the etiology. This retrospective observational study evaluates the diverse etiologies, time to diagnosis from symptom onset, management strategies, and outcome of DAH in a span of 12 months at our tertiary care center. A total of 8 patients were identified with 8 different etiologies. 6/8 (75%) patients had immunologic causes, and 2/8 (25%) had non-immunologic causes of DAH. 6/8 (75%) patients were females, the mean time to DAH diagnosis was 4.25 months from symptom onset, 6/8 (75%) patients improved, and 2/8 (25%) died due to complications. It is necessary to differentiate between the etiologies of DAH and establish an early diagnosis to plan management and improve outcomes.

Authors: Camellino D. , Dejaco C. , Martini F. , Cosso R. , Bianchi G.
Published: October 2024

The objective of this case series is to describe the efficacy and safety of baricitinib (BARI) in a group of patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and/or giant cell arteritis (GCA). These patients were treated with BARI due to either a refractory disease course or the unavailability of tocilizumab because of the pandemic. A total of six patients (five females and one male, median age 64 years, range 50-83) were treated with BARI. Two of them had isolated PMR, two had PMR with associated large vessel (LV)-GCA, one had LV-GCA presenting as fever of unknown origin, and one had cranial-GCA. All patients reported improvement with BARI. At the time of starting BARI, patients were taking a median prednisone dose of 8.75 mg/day (range 0-25), and the four patients with PMR had a median PMR-AS of 23.3 (indicating high disease activity), which decreased to 1.58 after 6 months of treatment with BARI. Two of them could stop glucocorticoids (GC) and continued BARI monotherapy. One patient suffered from pneumonia, and BARI was therefore stopped. No other adverse events attributable to BARI were detected. Our case series supports previous reports suggesting efficacy of Janus kinase inhibitors as a GC-sparing strategy in PMR and GCA.
Disaster recovery and business continuity: A case of MSMEs in Dar es Salaam
Authors: Sakijege Tumpale
Published: October 2024

A large number of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in developing countries operate in informal settlements. Most of these settlements exist in hazardous environment despite being affected by floods. This research discusses the scarcity of knowledge on the resilience of businesses operating in Kigogo flood-prone informal settlements in Dar es Salaam. It especially focusses on MSMEs. Although recovery of MSMEs has been intensively studied worldwide, in Tanzania it is downgraded. This article is set to bridge this glaring gap focusing on MSMEs recovery after floods. The research methodology employed quantitative research design by completing questionnaires through interviews. A total of 202 owners of MSMEs were interviewed. While content analysis was used to analyse qualitative data, the research further employed a logistic unit model to analyse factors explaining recovery of MSMEs after floods. The study revealed a statistically significant association between the recovery of MSMEs and suitable plans for safeguarding business, personal savings, profit (saving from business) and government support. Other factors include family and friend’s support, business continuity training, longevity in business operation, pre-disaster mitigation measures, critical destruction to business facilities, and running several businesses. Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threat (SWOT) analysis of the business environment where MSMEs operate revealed a number of issues that inform policymakers, urban planners and environmentalists on what can be done to enhance recovery and hence promote sustainable development.Contribution: The study adds to the body of knowledge by drawing attention to factors that predict disaster recovery of MSMEs operating in flood-prone informal settlements.

Authors: Suchetha Vijayakumar  , Krishna Prasad K  , Holla M. Raviraja
Published: October 2024

Effective software Requirement Prioritization plays a pivotal role in the success of the Software Development process, ultimately contributing to the successful delivery of high-quality products. Among the various methods for Requirement Prioritization, the MoSCoW method has gained widespread adoption due to its ease of use. However, its overall effectiveness remains a subject of inquiry. This paper presents a rigorous assessment of the MoSCoW Requirement Prioritization technique, drawing insights from software developers who engage in the Prioritization process. Our evaluation encompasses a distinct perspective: that of the developers tasked with Prioritization. The feedback solicited from developers encapsulates a diverse set of criteria, shedding light on the method's efficacy. Additionally, we perform sentiment analysis on the user experience of the Prioritization task to corroborate the method's accuracy and efficiency. Our study unfolds through a practical exercise involving the Prioritization of a predefined set of requirements using MoSCoW principles. A mixed method approach is employed for the purpose of assessing the effectiveness of MoSCoW. The findings of our quantitative research underscore the method's limitations, indicating that it may not be as effective and precise as previously believed. Furthermore, through qualitative analysis, we are able to highlight the complexities and challenges associated with MoSCoW-based Prioritization. The insights gained from this analysis prompt contemplation regarding the potential introduction of an evolved Requirement Prioritization method, while leveraging MoSCoW as a foundational framework. This research aims to inform the ongoing evolution of Requirement Prioritization methodologies, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of Software Development processes.
TOURISM SUSTAINABILITY MANDALA
Authors: Tasso João Paulo Faria , Silva David Leonardo Bouças da , Nascimento Elimar Pinheiro do Nascimento
Published: October 2024

Contemporary times have been marked by the trivial and excessive use of the adjective “sustainable”, tourism has not been left out of this trend. The lauded “sustainable destination” title has become a central premise among territorial management groups. However, developing public policies to meet this status has evidenced reductionist and sometimes misguided treatments that fail to incorporate the true complexity of sustainability into tourism. The results are disconnected, one-off, ineffective actions based on guesswork or the interests of particular actors in the territory. This essay presents a simplified and didactic proposal for a territorial planning instrument (Sustainability Mandala in Tourism – TSM) to contribute to the attempt to seek sustainability in tourism development. The TSM comprises 21 indicators, defined from the analysis of international instruments and national strategies in force in tourism planning. The instrument covers the seven dimensions of sustainability (environmental, territorial, political, cultural, social, economic, and technological), and it has been developed to guide local and regional tourism management groups pragmatically. Keywords: Sustainability Indicators; Tourism; Public Policy; Mandala of Sustainability in Tourism; Local Development.

Published: October 2024

Ticks have a negative impact on animal health and livestock productivity. One of the methods for controlling ticks on livestock is the use of tolerant breeds of animals. The present study compares the sensitivity to ticks of the N'dama taurine and the Goudali zebu introduced into the Nyanga Ranch in Gabon. Ticks were collected and identified on a random sample of 1/10 of cattle aged over 9 months, i.e. 342 cattle in the rainy season and 360 in the dry season. A total of 1772 ticks representing two genera were collected: Amblyomma spp. (94.92%) then Rhipicephalus spp. (5.08%). The overall parasitic load was 2.52 ticks and the infestation rate 50.28%. Adult Amblyomma spp. were more collected in the dry season and immatures in the rainy season while all stages of Rhipicephalus spp. were more collected in the rainy season (p<0.05). The overall parasitic load and the infestation rate were higher in the dry season for Amblyomma spp. and in the rainy season for Rhipicephalus spp, (p<0.05). These two parameters were also higher in the Goudali for Amblyomma spp. (p<0.05), but were comparable in the two cattle breeds for Rhipicephalus spp.. The N’dama breed is more adapted to the environment of the Nyanga ranch where Amblyomma spp. ticks. are the majority.

Les tiques ont un impact négatif sur la santé des animaux et la productivité des élevages. L’une des méthodes de contrôle des tiques en élevage est l’utilisation de races d’animaux tolérantes. La présente étude compare la sensibilité aux tiques du taurin N’dama et du zébu Goudali introduits au Ranch Nyanga au Gabon. Des tiques ont été collectées et identifiées sur un échantillon aléatoire de 1/10 des bovins âgés de plus de 9 mois soit 342 bovins en saison pluvieuse et 360 en saison sèche. Un total de 1772 tiques représentant deux genres ont été collectées : Amblyomma spp. (94,92%) puis Rhipicephalus spp. (5,08%). La charge parasitaire globale a été 2,52 tiques et le taux d’infestation 50,28%. Les adultes Amblyomma spp. ont été plus collectés en saison sèche et les immatures en saison pluvieuse alors que tous les stades de Rhipicephalus spp. ont été plus collectés en saison pluvieuse (p<0,05). La charge parasitaire globale et le taux d’infestation ont été plus élevés en saison sèche pour Amblyomma spp. et en saison pluvieuse pour Rhipicephalus spp, (p<0,05). Ces deux paramètres ont aussi été plus élevés chez le Goudali pour Amblyomma spp. (p<0,05), mais ont été comparables chez les deux races de bovins pour Rhipicephalus spp.. La race N’dama serait mieux adapté à l’environnement du ranch Nyanga où les tiques Amblyomma spp. sont majoritaires.

Accessibility Challenges of Using Podcasts and Vodcasts in a South African Distance Learning University
Authors: Mohale Ntshimane Elphas
Published: October 2024

Academic writing presents a range of challenges for students, particularly those enrolled in distance university institutions. These challenges encompass various facets such as understanding citation and referencing, developing a distinctive writer’s voice, mastering academic discourse, paraphrasing, summarising, and adhering to academic conventions. Notably, deficiencies in academic writing skills often trace back to inadequate preparation during high school education, potentially leading to qualification deferment and high dropout rates. To tackle these challenges, podcasts and vodcasts emerged as essential tools to bridge academic gaps, catering to diverse learning styles and offering flexibility beyond traditional teaching methods. However, the efficacy of supplemental multimedia tools warrants exploration, considering uncertainties regarding student acceptance. Thus, this study aimed to identify accessibility challenges, to reduce existing barriers and enhance accessibility in open distant institutions. Utilising qualitative research methodologies, including focus group discussions and literature analysis, data collection was conducted. The study drew upon Moore’s theory of transactional distance and Garrison et al.’s community of inquiry framework to create collaborative online interactions and meaningful lecturer-student engagement, culminating in the construction of new knowledge. Findings revealed that students did not encounter accessibility challenges and expressed preference for shorter podcasts and vodcasts. These multimedia formats alleviated boredom, clarified complex concepts, prevented monotony, enhanced attention and comprehension, stimulated interest, facilitated active learning, and accommodated various learning styles. Podcasts and vodcasts reduced transactional distance and created a sense of community. Contrary to prevailing literature, students did not encounter accessibility challenges, shifting the focus towards shorter, high-quality multimedia content rather than accessibility concerns.
A Review of Official Documents and Literature on the Forgotten Victims of Parental Incarceration in South Africa
Authors: Magadla-Mateyise Afika Fikiswa , Zenzile Enoch
Published: October 2024

This article is a literature synthesis of the living conditions of black children after their parent's imprisonment.  In Africa, the prison population currently stands at 1,194,497, while in South Africa, 147,922 people were being held in correctional facilities as of January 2021. Parental incarceration has affected all children, regardless of race, age, or cultural background. An increasing amount of research indicates that children with incarcerated parents are prone to internalized behaviors such as depression, anxiety, and withdrawal, as well as externalized behaviors including criminality and substance use. They may also experience cognitive delays, academic struggles, and insecure attachments in their relationships with both their imprisoned parents and primary caregivers. The term "caregiver" denotes the individual who assumes the role of the child's main caregiver while the parents are incarcerated. It is important to note that the literature focusing on child-headed households in South African informal settlements and townships may be limited. This paper is a narrative synthesis of the literature review and uses secondary sources.
Transforming Foundation Phase Life Skills Teachers’ Use of Learning and Teaching Support Materials Towards Sustainable Development of Teaching
Authors: Nqabeni Pelokazi
Published: October 2024

This paper reports on transforming Foundation Phase teachers’ use of learning and teaching support materials (LTSMs) to sustain teaching and learning in Life Skills classrooms. This paper aimed to comprehend teachers’ perspectives on how they could transform their practices using LTSMs to improve their teaching and learner performance to contribute towards the sustainable development of teaching. The National Policy and Guidelines for LTSM stipulate that teachers must be teaching mediators. The study was informed by an analytical framework for studying classroom practices along the Activity Theory (AT) dimensions through teachers’ and learners’ interactions. The case study design was qualitative with an interpretive paradigm. Purposive sampling gathered information from three Grade 3 Life Skills teachers through semi-structured interviews, structured observations, and document analysis. Data were analysed, and themes emerged from the questions. Findings revealed that LTSMs are ineffective in improving teaching and learner performance due to shortages, overcrowded classrooms, and lack of professional development. We recommend that the Department of Education should provide more classrooms to assist teachers in their practices. Also, there should be more professional development activities for teachers to transform their practices for sustainable development.

THE RIGHT TO LIFE: HUMAN RIGHTS APPROACH IN CRIMINAL LAW
Authors:   Institute of Criminological and Sociological Research, Stevanović aleksandar
Published: October 2024

In this paper, the author considers the right to life within the relationship between criminal law and human rights paradigm, especially the role and importance of human rights doctrine in criminal law. The penetration of human rights into criminal law contributed to the strengthening of the criminal law protection of the right to life, both directly and indirectly. In the first case, certain norms and criminal law institutes that primarily protect the right to life have been redacted in terms of providing more comprehensive protection. Hence, when it comes to the protection of the life within criminal justice system it should be stated that criminal law becomes first instead of last resort. Mirroring the fact that life is a kind of “good” that is necessary condition for the enjoyment of all the other goods and rights, many criminal law norms that primarily protect other rights also need to be viewed in that sense. In general, there is a tendency to protect right to life not just in pure physical (bodily) sense but with the certain quality. However, based on the fact that human rights have both a defensive and an offensive role within criminal law it could be easily stated that the making criminal law norms and creating criminal justice system is in a certain way the art of balancing between an effective protection of the fundamental values which are endangered by criminal acts and protection of the fundamental values which can be endangered while that goal is being achieved.
A Pragmatic Analysis of Parenthetical Structures in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
Authors:   University of Kufa College of Education for Girls, Saeed Asst. Lect. Huda Abdulhussein
Published: October 2024

This paper aims to investigate the functions of parenthetical structures in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It seeks to identify how these structures are employed from a pragmatic perspective and examines three specific types. The first type is comment clauses, which have pragmatic value; these expressions are important for readers to understand the intended meaning. The second type is relative clauses, which are used to present additional information, thereby enhancing meaning and interpretation. The final type is apposition, which helps the reader identify a referent. Hence, this paper focuses on the functions of these types, which hold significant contextual value in aiding the reader's interpretation. Therefore, it is asserted that such expressions cannot be analyzed solely through sentence grammar, as they are influenced more by contextual factors than by grammatical structures.

Reproductive biology of fringescale sardinella (Sardinella fimbriata Valenciennes, 1847) from Malampaya Sound, Palawan, Philippines
Authors: Vicente Jesusito A. , Palla Herminie P.
Published: October 2024

Reproduction is a fundamental biological process that is essential for the continuous survival of fish species. Understanding their early life history and reproductive biology can explain how the population behave over time. A total of 1,238 fish samples were examined to determine the reproductive patterns and period of fringescale sardinella (Sardinella fimbriata) from Malampaya Sound, Palawan, Philippines. Monthly sampling from April 2023 to March 2024 revealed a 1:1 sex ratio. Gonadal examination of the fish revealed the presence of spawning individuals throughout the study period. The minimum size of matured fish observed was 11.0 cm and 11.1 cm for male and female S. fimbriata, respectively. The peak of spawning was April as indicated by the highest calculated GSI of 7.62% and fecundity of 18,465. A smaller peak was again observed in the month of September. The length at maturity was estimated to be 11.4 and 8.8 cm for males and females, respectively. Fecundity ranged between 2,700 to 36,067 eggs per spawn for size class between 11.1-14.8 cm and weight 13.07-31.93 g. Regression analysis between fecundity and morphometric characteristics such as body length, weight, eviscerated weight, and gonad weight revealed a positive correlation. Very low coefficients of determination were computed, ranging between 0.0028-0.1233. A significant association between fecundity and the morphometric variable gonadal weight was observed, as shown by the p-value of 0.0000. These outcomes are valuable data in the formulation of conservation and management strategies for the area. Implementation of appropriate conservation measures, monitoring of environmental parameters, strict enforcement of fishery regulation, coupled with increased environmental awareness and community participation will guarantee the long-term sustainability of the fringescale sardinella population and the preservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in Malampaya Sound.

This is a review article that focuses on patient self-recovery, pain modulation without pain medication, edema control and preparation for ambulation after a foot or ankle surgery both elective and traumatic surgical procedures. The available evidence and literature review were limited due to the few studies that are devoted to this area of focus. This review article takes a comprehensive and prescriptive perspective into strategies of the aftermath of the physiological and psychological effects on the body, specifically the lower extremity after foot or ankle surgery. Some of these strategies include initial edema control, nutrition, scar massage and reduction of non-mobile skin from the surgical incision within the surgery. A review of the theory of prehabilitation and examples of therapeutic exercises are explained within the article which target important proximal gait muscles needed for ambulation which can be conditioned with the foot and ankle in a CAM boot or a cast.
Remember Darwin: Individualism, Neuroscience and Language
Authors:   Mental Health for the Young and their Families (Victorian Group), Change Consultations, Australia, Grimwade Jolyon

Individualism has been a constant theme of the development of child and adolescent mental health since at least 1870. Freud’s Scientific Project is an exercise in neurological individualism as have many subsequent neuroscience projects. Just because bodies contain neurological and chemical circuits, it does not mean that mammalian animals are discrete. Mammals live in communication networks and humans have evolved to make those networks linguistic. It is species adaptations that are manifest in the lives of single members of a species and provide for fitness to environment. The many biological scientists that call themselves neurologists have been prone to misunderstand this Darwinian premise.

Authors: Terhalle Maximilian
Published: October 2024

The arguments made in this article are divided in three sections. First, the analysis looks at some of the immediate security-related concerns that have come to shape the Baltic Sea region. The second section branches out from the Baltic confines and takes into account the impact that the so-called CRINK states (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea) have gained on the war against Ukraine through their support for Russia. This has turned the war into a broader conflagration than most observers have admitted for an extended period. Finally, the analysis cautiously addresses some of the imponderabilities provided by the upcoming presidential election in the United States.
