Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury Hidden in the Complex Sensorimotor System
Authors: Stanczak Mikolaj
Published: August 2024

ACL injuries present significant challenges in sports medicine, particularly in restoring knee joint function and preventing further complications like subsequent injuries or post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Traditional rehabilitation techniques, which often rely on pre-planned exercises and standardized assessments, may not adequately prepare athletes for the unpredictable nature of sports. This paper argues for a comprehensive approach that recognizes ACL injuries as failures of complex nonlinear systems rather than merely biomechanical deficiencies.

The complexity of ACL injuries involves a dynamic interplay of individual skills, team dynamics and external conditions. Traditional rehabilitation approaches that focus solely on biomechanical factors overlook the critical role of interpersonal dynamics and sensorimotor control. The brain’s integration of sensory information to form a comprehensive environmental representation is vital for motor actions. Disruptions in this sensorimotor feedback loop can impair motor control, increasing the risk of ACL injuries.

Effective rehabilitation should enhance sensory integration and feedback mechanisms, improving motor control and reducing re-injury risk. Addressing proprioceptive deficits and Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI) is crucial for successful rehabilitation. Neurocognitive training, focusing on enhancing decision-making and motor responses, is essential for sports performance and injury prevention. Techniques like neurofeedback training can optimize brain activity patterns, leading to better motor responses and adaptation to dynamic environments.

Psychological factors such as motivation, anxiety and fear significantly influence recovery. Integrating psychological support into rehabilitation programs can address these factors, leading to more comprehensive and effective recovery strategies. Innovative rehabilitation approaches, including EMG biofeedback, motor imagery and virtual reality-based training, can enhance reactive motor planning and adaptability, preparing athletes for the demands of their sport.

The future of ACL rehabilitation lies in embracing the complexity of the sensorimotor system and developing multidisciplinary interventions that promote beneficial neuroplasticity. Advances in neuroscience and technology, such as artificial intelligence, can lead to more personalized and effective rehabilitation programs. Recognizing and addressing the multifaceted nature of ACL injuries can significantly improve rehabilitation outcomes, ensuring athletes can safely and effectively return to their sports.

A Historical Overview of Legislative Measures to Criminalise Same-Sex Relations in Selected African Countries
Authors: Mubangizi John C
Published: August 2024

Same-sex relations are illegal in thirty-two African countries. In some of those countries, offenders are punishable by death. This contribution provides a historical overview of the legislative measures aimed at the criminalisation of same-sex relations in selected African countries, namely Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, Botswana and South Africa, and examines its correlation with human rights protection and the rule of law. The legislative measures adopted in these countries originated with colonial influences that introduced anti-same-sex laws there during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The remnants of these colonial-era laws have persisted, shaping the legal landscape and societal attitudes towards LGBTQIA+ communities. Some countries have upheld and reinforced existing laws, often invoking cultural or religious values to justify the criminalisation. Others have made strides towards decriminalisation or have taken steps to protect the rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals, reflecting a dynamic interplay between tradition, human rights and legal development. The study also looks at the state of human rights and the rule of law in these countries. The correlation between anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation, human rights and the rule of law then becomes a focal point, emphasising the poor record of human rights protection in countries that have criminalised same-sex relations as opposed to countries that have decriminalised such relations. Ultimately, this contribution offers critical insight into the evolving legal landscapes of the selected African countries regarding same-sex relations. It underscores the relationship between anti-LGBTQIA+ laws, human rights and the rule of law.
The Evolution of Privacy and Data Protection in Kenya
Authors: Laibuta Mugambi
Published: August 2024

The contribution looks at the right to privacy within Kenya’s legal system by setting out the constitutional, legislative and jurisprudential framework on this right, as well as the right to data protection. The evolution of the rights to privacy and data protection in Kenya have been marked by significant milestones, reflecting global trends and local imperatives. The right to privacy in Kenya has featured in the constitutional text since Kenya gained independence from colonial rule. Conversations during the clamour for constitutional reforms shaped the current constitutional text that provides for an individual right to privacy and has been the springboard for the promulgation of legislation regarding data protection rights. The enactment of the Data Protection Act, 2019 was a pivotal moment, providing a legal framework for the protection of personal data. The Act emphasises the rights of individuals regarding their personal data, including the rights to be informed about the processing thereof, to access it and to its rectification. The Act also provides for baseline data protection principles and grants the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner powers to enforce data subject rights and data protection principles. Other legislation, such as the Children Act and the HIV and AIDS Prevention and Control Act, also provide privacy safeguards. For decades, the Kenyan courts have ruled in favour of the right to privacy. However, despite legislative developments, some statutes regulating national security organs still contain provisions limiting the right to privacy. This contribution describes the past and present status of the rights to privacy and of data protection in Kenya.

Authors: Oclarit Jr. Federico P. , Agoylo Jr. Jose C.
Published: August 2024

Anchored on transactional and person environment-fit theory, this descriptive-correlational study aimed to assess the social and emotional competence and work-related stress of public-school teachers (n=40). This study utilized the adapted questionnaire from the Social and Emotional Competence (SEC) from Long, (2015) and work-related stress from Bowers, (2018). Analyses revealed that Pintuyan National Vocational High School teachers were highly stressed and highly competent as manifested in their level of social and emotional competence with the domains in responsible decision-making, self-regulation, and social/relationships domains. This study concludes that the level of work-related stress among teachers is significantly associated with and related to their social and emotional competence levels. Thus, the work-related stress and enhanced social-emotional competence of teachers influenced their academic lives and dictated their teaching performance and outcomes. Despite the challenges in the pandemic, however, teachers are becoming resilient in dealing with work-related stress and diversely coping individuals as effective managers of stress as public-school teachers. The Department of Education should initiate socio-emotional and academic training that enhances and develops the three domains of SEC among public school teachers. Institutionalizing these trainings and enhancing their SEC competence increases teachers’ stress coping mechanism and motivation to pursue professional growth and academic resiliency.

Two populations of Aporcelaimellus obtusicaudatus were isolated from the soils of sugarcane and Paddy fields of district Dehradun (30° 19 N, 78°03 E and 960 meter above sea level), Uttarakhand, India. Based on morphological, morphometrical and molecular studies, the nematode was identified as Aporcelaimellus obtusicaudatus. Both isolates characterized by having body size 1.6–2.9 mm (SF5) and 1.8–3.1 mm (SF8) long, lip region offset by deep constriction, lips angular and 15.5–19.8 µm (SF5) and 14.5–18.8 µm (SF8) broad, odontostyle dorylemoides with wide lumen 19–22 µm long in (SF5) and 20–23 µm long in (SF8), odontostyle aperture half of its length, neck length 416–631 µm long (SF5) and 430–594 µm long (SF8), pharyngeal expansion 220.3–367 µm and 234–327.5 µm long or occupying 52-58% and 54-55% of the total neck length in both isolates, female genital system amphidelphic with transverse vulva and opaque pars refringens vaginae, tail shortand rounded to conical with inner cuticle. Molecular analyses utilizing segments of the 28S rDNA and 18S rDNA placed Aporcelaimellus obtusicaudatus in a clade with other A. obtusicaudatus reported from different geography Ireland, South Africa, China and UK.

Impact of different host plants on biology and morphometrics of various developmental stages of Papilio demoleus (Linn.)
Authors: Singh Yogendra Pal , Ramakant Ramakant
Published: August 2024

The comparative studies under laboratory conditions have been carried out to investigate the influence of different alternative host plants viz., bael [Aegle marmelos (L.)], curry leaves [Murraya koenigii (L.) Spreng.], ber (Zizyphus mauritiana Lam.) and lemon [Citrus limon (L.) Burm.f.] on biology and morphometrics of Lemon butterfly, Papilio demoleus (Linn.). The lemon is the most preferred host of P. demoleus used as a controlled experimental host plant. The variations in periods of larval, pupal and rate of emergence into adult have been recorded and found that the lemon was the most preferred host plant on which all the larval stages survived smoothly. The caterpillars when reared on alternative hosts showed an increase in average larval period. The average survival percent of larvae were reported highest on bael leaves, followed by curry leaves and ber leaves. Similar patterns of results were also recorded on the pupal period and rate of emergence with alternative hosts. The morphometric variations in weight, size and colour of caterpillars, pupae and adults were also measured and found in decreasing order of host preferences as lemon[greater than]bael[greater than]curry[greater than]ber.
