Published: October 2019

Introduction: The Nigerian health sector faces several challenges especially during economic recession. These encumbrances have led to low productivity, worsened out-of-pocket expenditure with its attendant "health shock” and poor service delivery.
Methodology: A didactic empirical literature review of articles bordering on key terminologies in the title was perused to guide this article.
Results Economic recession hampers productivity of both professional personnel and the government in rendering services to the populace on one hand while it may be difficult for the people to access care on the other hand. These bring to the fore, the problems of escalated prices of drugs, low patronage of accredited hospitals, rapid migration of professionals in search of “greener pastures”, and increase in morbidity and mortality in the populace. When these occur, to achieve health for all and Universal Health Coverage becomes a mirage.
Discussion: Prospects and pragmatic solutions have been suggested such as funding and financing mechanisms especially Health Insurance Schemes, limiting of medical tourisms to only when it is expressly needed, adequate remuneration of health workers, healthy government policies with policy direction, and needs assessment among other solutions.
Conclusion: Healthcare during recession will be better improved when economic indicators are thematically addressed to yield palpable impacts as these will go a long way to alleviate the dwindling health care delivery in a recessed economy.

Intensive care unit (ICU) is in principle not designed to accept the presence of a patient's visitor or family for a long time. One of the effects that arises is an increase in the patient's family anxiety. In general, nurses do not consider the patient's family as part of his holistic care. So, it takes the role of nurses to identify the patient's family needs, in order to realize holistic care. This review aims to identify the family needs of patients treated in the intensive care unit. Literature is obtained from the Ebsco database, ProQuest and Science Direct, using keywords: family needs, nursing strategy and intensive care unit. From 7 literature sources obtained about what is needed by the patient's family. This review produced 5 themes, namely family needs for information, closeness, support, involvement, and knowing the care received by patients. This review only focuses on the patient's family needs in general. The family is part of the patient. Identified family needs, namely information needs, closeness, support, involvement and knowledge of care received by patients. The participation of health workers is needed in identifying and encouraging the fulfillment of family needs. Keyword: family needs, nursing strategies, intensive care unit

Authors: Євтушенко Тетяна
Published: October 2019

У статті розглядається проблема агресивної поведінки в молодшому шкільному віці та особливості її корекції методами арт-терапії. Автори зазначають, що на прояви агресивної поведінки можуть впливати багато факторів, в тому числі вік, індивідуальні особливості, зовнішні фізичні та соціальні умови. Але вирішальну роль у формуванні агресивної поведінки особистості, на думку більшості дослідників, відіграє її безпосереднє соціальне оточення. Найчастіше головною причиною агресивної поведінки дітей є небажання батьків розбиратися в її мотивах, байдужість до їх емоційного світу. Крім того, відзначається ефективність застосування для корекції агресивності в молодшому шкільному віці методів арт-терапії. В даній статті проведено теоретичний аналіз дослідження проблеми агресії в сучасній психологічній літературі. Розмежовано розуміння понять: агресія, агресивність та агресивна поведінка, розглянуто особливості прояву агресивності у дітей молодшого шкільного віку. Висвітлюється важливість використання засобів арт-терапії у роботі з агресивними дітьми.

Authors: Helen N. Ebeh
Published: October 2019

Education is a veritable tool for sustainable national integration and security especially in a country like Nigeria
that is located in a region prone to conflict and insecurity. Education is aimed at developing the individual and
the society. Science education encourages students to think and act as responsible scientists by providing
opportunities for them to acquire and understand relevant issues. This paper examines the relationship
between science education, security and national development. The paper also discusses the role of science
education in achieving national security in Nigeria, such as minimizing superstition, inculcation of scientific and
functional skills and knowledge among others. It also highlighted some problems that threaten science
education in playing its roles effectively in achieving national security in Nigeria. To position science education
for its role in the sustenance of national security, the researcher recommends that our nation should be a
scientific literate society where students are acquitted with basic knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for
development of the nation.

The rapid rate of technological development in general metalwork and the increasing demands for cognitive,
and psychomotor, capabilities in the mechanical world of work from technical college graduate call for a search
for a complementary learning procedure to equip mechanical craftsmen with the necessary skills in general
metalwork for performing and coping effectively in the mechanical world of work. This study determined the
effects of constructivism and experiential learning models on students‟ achievement and interest in general
metalwork. The study was a pretest, posttest, non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design. Two
research questions and two hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance guided the study. The
population of the study consisted of 146 National Technical College one (TC I) Students offering General
metalwork in Plateau and Kaduna States. Simple random sampling technique was used to arrive at four
Technical Colleges offering Welding and Fabrication Engineering craft, to get a sampled population of 109 (TC
I) Students from four intact classes. The experimental group „A‟ (CLM) had a population of 53 students while
the experimental group „B‟ (ELM) had a population of 56 students. Two sets of lesson plan were designed and
used to teach both experimental groups. The constructivism instructional lesson plan was used to teach
experimental group „A‟ while the experiential learning model lesson plan was used to teach the experimental
group „B‟. The instrument used for data collection were, metalwork cognitive achievement test (MCAT), and
metalwork interest inventory (MII). The instruments, as well as the lesson plans were validated by three experts
in the Department of Industrial and Technology Education, Federal University of Technology Minna. Nigeria.
Through the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) data collected were analyzed using mean and
analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Mean was used to answer the research questions while ANCOVA was used
to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that students taught with
constructivism learning model perform better as they have higher achievement score and higher interest score
than those taught with experiential learning model. The findings from the hypotheses revealed significant
difference in the mean cognitive achievement score, and interest score of students taught general metalwork
using constructivism and experiential learning model. It is therefore recommended that technical college
teachers be encouraged, trained, and equipped with the necessary skills required to effectively used
constructivism learning models for classroom instructions and learning.

Science Education as an Instrument for the Enhancement of National Security in
Nigeria.
Authors: I. E. Regina
Published: October 2019

Education is conceived to be a life-long learning process that begins with the birth and ends with the death of a
person. Education has equally been defined as a process by which individuals are assisted formally through
proper direction and guidance to develop their capacities for their own benefit and that of the society. Science
education on the other hand is a field of study that exposes learners to the contents as well as the methodology
(processes) of acquiring scientific knowledge for practical application in relevant and applicable areas of life
endeavours.This paper critically examined the dimensions of national security in Nigeria, the essence of
government vis-à-vis citizens expectation, the definition of national security, the issue of insecurity, the many
security challenges bedeviling the country and how Science education as an instrument can be used for the
enhancement of national security in Nigeria. Since national security is important for national development, it is
therefore meaningless to talk of development in the absence of national security. In otherwords, insecurity in a
nation is a treat to development. In a state of insecurity, development is as elusive as a mirage. Useful
recommendations were also made.

لَحِظَتْ الباحثتان كثرة تمثيل الزبيدي في تاج العروس كلمة بكلمة أخرى، فاختارتا مجال تمثيله بسفرجل لإقامة الدراسة، فجمعتا كل مُشبه بسفرجل، ثم قامتا بالتحليل والتصنيف. وعنيتا بتاريخ الظاهرة فتتبعتاها في معجمات متقدمة، وظهر أنه متأثر بالفيروزأبادي، وكانت له إضافات انفرد بها.

وتوصلتا إلى أن عليه عدة مآخذ في استعماله سفرجل وزنًا تمثيليًّا أهمها: تعدد أمثلة الوزن التمثيلي، فلم يكن الزبيدي معنيًّا بالثبات على وزن تمثيليّ واحد بل كان يرى أن التغيير نوع من التفنن. ولم يلتزم بوزن تمثيلي لكل ما أشبه سفرجل، بل أهمل كثيرًا منها. ولم يعن بتعيين موضع الحرف الزائد في المشبه به. وفي كثير من المواضع لم يؤد الوزن التمثيلي الهدف منه، بل أوقع المتلقي في اللبس، فالوزن بسفرجل للثلاثي أو الرباعي المزيد يلبس على المخاطب فيتوهم أن جميع الأحرف أصول.

لذلك أوصى البحث بمعالجة ما أخذ على الزبيدي، وأن يكون المثال(سفرجل) وزنًا تمثيليًّا لما كانت جميع أحرفه أصول، أما ما فيه زيادة تكرير أو أحد أحرف (سألتمونيها) فيراعى موضع الزيادة.

وأن يتوفر في المثال الآتي:

 وأن يكون موافقًا للمشبه في عدد الأحرف والضبط.

وأن يراعي موضع الزيادة.

وأن يكون المثال سهل النطق مشهورًا بين الناس.

Objective: We evaluated the frequency of post traumatic amnesia (PTA) in close mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) via. Galveston Orientation and Amnesia Test (GOAT).Materials & Methods: A total of 115 patients with mild TBI, both male and female, aged between 14 to 60 years and presenting within the first 6 hours were included. Assessment with the GOAT was performed within 6 hours of admission. Post traumatic amnesia was recorded.Results: Patients’ mean age was 39.21 years. Majority of the patients (64.34%) were between 36- 60 years of age. Prevalence of post traumatic amnesia (PTA) in closed mild TBI was found in 27.83% patients, whereas, there was no post traumatic amnesia in 72.17% patients. Mean admission GCS was 14.54 and the mean GOAT score was 83.89 in all patients GCS 14/15. There was more prevalence of PTA in age 36-60 years, in male patients and “time since injury” in >3 hours. Mean GOAT was 68.3 in patients (30.19%) with PTA with GCS 14, whereas, mean GOAT was 74.8 in patients (25.80%) with PTA with GCS 15.Conclusion: 30.19% patients with GCS 14, were positive for PTA (GOAT: 68.3). Overall, 28% patients were positive for PTA. This study concluded that prevalence of post traumatic amnesia in mild TBI is relatively high in our study as compared to other recent reports.Abbreviations: TBI: Traumatic Brain Injury.

Objective: Trigeminal neuralgia is the lancinating electric shock like pain because of neurovascular compression in trigeminal nerve distribution. We compared the efficacy of radiofrequency rhizotomy with microvascular decompression in terms of complete pain relief.Material and Methods: The randomized controlled trial study was conducted in the neurosurgery department, LGH Lahore for a period of one year June 2017 to June 2018. A total of 110 patients were included and distributed into two groups, i.e. group-I who underwent radiofrequency rhizotomy (RFR) and group-II who underwent microvascular decompression (MVD). Follow-up of all the patients was assured up to six months. All the data were analyzed using S.P.S.S Ver. 23.0.Results: There were 38 (34.6%) male and 72(65.4%) female. Mean age was 51.25 ± 8.80 years. At the end of six months, in Group-I (RFR), Nineteen (34.5%) patients were completely pain free, 25 (45.5%) patients had significant pain relief, 7 (12.7%) had mild improvement in the pain and 4 (7.3%) patients had no improvement in the pain. In group-II (MVD), 30 (54.5%) patients were completely pain free, 14 (25.5%) had significant pain relief, 9 (16.4%) had mild improvement and 2 (3.6%) had no improvement in their pain (Chi-square = 6.49, p = 0.090).Conclusion: Microvascular decompression had better results than a radiofrequency rhizotomy in patients presenting with trigeminal neuralgia regarding excellent pain relief and fewer complications.

Objective: To determine the Neuroendoscopic management of hydrocephalus in children.Materials and Methods: The study was conducted at the Department of Neurosurgery, Peoples University of Medical and Health Science for women Nawabshah from January 2014 to May 2015. All of the patients with hydrocephalus diagnosed on history, clinical examination and CT scan included in the study. Subjects with co–morbidities such as uncontrolled diabetes, cardiac diseases or uremia were excluded. Patients with age of 6 months to 13 years either gender were included in the study. Aesculap rigid rod lens neuroendoscope with 0 degree was utilized. Warm ringers were utilized for irrigation, a Fogarty embolectomy catheter was utilized for ETV. Hemostasis was accomplished with irrigation, tamponade or coagulation. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) was labeled successfully when characteristics of intracranial hypertension (ICP) clinically improved and the size of ventricular decreased on post-operative CT scan. All the data was recorded in the Proforma.Results: Thirty patients with male to female ration 2.5:1 were administered. Age ranged between 6 months and 12 years with a mean of 22.03 months. There were 15(%) cases of Tri Ventricular Hydrocephalus, 10 cases of Tetra Ventricular Hydrocephalus. Two cases of Dandy Walker Hydrocephalus, one case of Asymmetrical Ventricles Hydrocephalus and postoperative fever occurred in two subjects. CSF leak appeared in one patient who was managed conservatively. No operative mortality was found.ETV worked effectively for Hydrocephalus treatment in 99.9% patients included in the study.

Objective: To determine the outcome of surgical intervention in the form of laminoplasty in the patients with multilevel cervical myelopathy. Material and Methods: Descriptive case series, was conducted at NS-I, PINS, Lahore for 6 months. The patients were included through non probability consecutive sampling that fulfilled inclusion criteria. All of the patients were assessed using JOA score before and after 2 months of surgery. General characteristics, including age, gender, other medical conditions and other risk factors were assessed prior to surgery. The total number of 35 patients was included with expected JOA percentage recovery rate of 75% + 21% after the procedure. Results: In this study 35 total patients were enrolled. The mean age was 55.68 + 9.92 years. Total number of male patients were 23 (65.71), while the female was 12 (34.29). The mean duration of degenerative cervical myelopathy was 3.90 + 1.3 months. The mean pre op value of JOA score was 7.08 + 2.7 (4 – 10) for the patients. The mean post op score was 13.00 + 2.30 (9 – 17). The mean recovery value calculated at two month interval was 62.12 + 17.39 (38.46 – 100). Statistically, there was a significant difference of outcome of pre and post op value of JOA scores i.e., p value = 0.00. Conclusion: Our study determined that, the open door laminoplasty is an effective and reliable technique with good outcome in the treatment of multi-level degenerative cervical spine myelopathy patients.

Objectives:  The main objective of the study was to analyze the efficacy of Depo-medrole injection in post-operative pain relief after lumbar discectomy. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in the Neurosurgery department of Mayo Hospital KEMU, Lahore during March 2018 to September 2018. The data was collected from 50 patients of lumbar discectomy randomly into two groups. One was operated patients and in group 2 patients were injected with local Depo-med role after lumbar discectomy. We studied the efficacy of Depo-med role injection in the second group. Pain intensity was measured using VAS from the whole sample at two weeks, four weeks, three months and last at one year post operatively.

Results: Data were collected from 50 patients. These patients were divided into two groups, 25 in group one and 25 in group two. The mean age of group one was 30.14 ± 8.15 and for group two was 29.82 ± 7.16. Both groups neither contrasted by age (p = 0.187) nor as indicated by term of side effects (p = 0.639) at the season of operation.

Conclusion: The usage of low dose Depo-med role decreased an abrupt lumbago and pain leg after surgery effectively. But it needs more observations due to small nonrandomized sample.

The objective of this study was to review the efficacy of a treatment approach for patients with positive intraoperative cultures during fracture nonunion surgery. The authors performed a retrospective case series at a level I trauma center. In this series, 60 patients without preoperative concern for infection were surgically treated for fracture nonunion. The treatment course of patients after fracture nonunion surgery, including culture results, antibiotic administration, and the presence of clinical infection and radiographic union, was studied. Sixty patients underwent fracture nonunion surgery. Twenty-four patients had a positive intraoperative culture. Fourteen patients had only a positive broth culture, 6 had only a positive routine culture, and 4 had positive mixed (routine and broth) cultures. The most common bacteria was coagulase-negative staphylococci, isolated in 19 of 24 patients, and the only isolated organism in 13 of 24 patients. Patients with a positive broth culture were not treated with antibiotics. Four of 10 patients with either a positive routine or mixed culture grown within 3 days of surgery were treated with antibiotics. All patients achieved clinical healing without signs of infection, and all but 2 patients achieved radiographic union at a mean follow-up of approximately 5 years. In the setting of fracture nonunion surgery, patients with only a positive broth culture and those with only a positive routine or mixed cultures that grew in a delayed fashion (>3 days postoperatively) did not require antibiotic treatment to achieve healing.

Community-Centered Urban Sensing
Authors: Mondschein Andrew , Zhang Zihao , El Khafif Mona
Published: October 2019

The authors examine the problem of integrating urban sensing into engaged planning. The authors ask whether enhanced urban data and analysis can enhance resident engagement in planning and design, rather than hinder it, even when current urban planning and design practices are dysfunctional. The authors assess the outcomes of a planning and design effort in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. Community-Centered Urban Sensing is a participatory urban sensing initiative developed by urban planners and designers, architects, landscape architects, and technologists at the University of Virginia to address the need for actionable information on the urban environment through community-engaged urban data collection and analysis. These findings address how technological urbanism moves from data to action, as well as its potential for marginalization. Finally, the authors discuss a conceptualization of smart and engaged planning that accounts for urban dysfunction. The smart cities paradigm should encompass modes and methods that function even when local urban systems are dysfunctional.
