Published: March 2024

The sanitary conditions of a food processing facility play a vital role in the safety and quality of its final products. This study assessed the hygiene practices and sanitary conditions of the Gbagi Community Slaughterhouse in Ibadan, Nigeria, to identify the factors hindering sanitation and meat hygiene at the facility, and provide recommendations for improvement. The study was conducted using a combination of observation and surveys as the data collection technique. The activities taking place in the slaughterhouse were observed for two weeks during which certain practices were documented textually and pictorially. Twelve key informants comprising butchers, cleaners, buyers, and people in the neighborhood were purposively recruited as study participants and were interviewed, using open-ended questions about the sanitation and hygiene practices at the facility. All obtained data were analyzed qualitatively by thematic content analysis. Study results showed poor waste management practices, inadequate ante- and post-mortem veterinary inspection of slaughtered animals, the absence of requisite slaughterhouse infrastructure, and the unhygienic behaviors of slaughterhouse personnel. The sanitary and hygiene practices of the Gbagi Community Slaughterhouse environment fall below the required standards for food processing operations and hence, poses a risk to food safety and public health. An integrated involvement of relevant arms of government is needed at the state and local levels for sanitary enforcement, provision of critical waste management infrastructure at the Gbagi slaughterhouse, and education of slaughterhouse personnel, so as to prevent microbial food contamination and safeguard public health.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: According to the Yearbook of Accidents of Electrical Origin for the year 2022, 853 accidents due to electric shock were reported in Brazil, of which 592 died, a reduction of 12.2% in mortality compared to the previous year. Three conditions elucidate trauma switches caused by the passage of electric current, the regulatory alterations by the passage of electric current, the conversion of electrical energy into thermal, known as the Joule effect, and muscle damage by the electrical stimulus of exacerbated contractions.

Case Report: A 51-year-old male patient was followed up on an outpatient basis due to a nervous breakdown caused by accident with a high-voltage electrical discharge 15 years ago. After the event, he evolved with conduction aphasia, homonymous hemianopia on the right, hypoesthesia on the right side of the body, dysmetria on the right upper limb, and epileptic seizures of focal onset, evolving into tonic-clonic seizures. For seizure control, carbamazepine 200 mg 3 times a day was administered, with complete seizure control since then.

Conclusion: Therefore, it is important to emphasize that the damage caused by electrocution to the central nervous system (CNS) is varied. Still, due to the patient’s clinical presentation, his neuroimaging findings, and his history, this is epilepsy secondary to electrocution. Encephalomalacia demonstrates a large scar in the brain tissue, and its control of seizure episodes with the adopted pharmacotherapy also corroborates.

Vision 2030 and World AIDS Day 2023: Empowering Communities in HIV Research and Policy in Indonesia
Authors: Pande Putu Januraga
Published: March 2024

Notable challenges and accomplishments have characterized Indonesia's efforts in combating HIV AIDS. As of 2022, it is estimated that 546,573 people are living with HIV in the country, with new infections totaling 24,223 in the same year. Recent data shows a decrease in new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths. However, there remains a concerning steady rate of new infections within the men who have sex with men(MSM) population.1

Although there have been improvements in Indonesia's HIV care cascade, particularly in achieving the first target of the 95-95-95 goals, challenges persist. In 2022, only 42% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) knew their status and were on HIV treatment, and a mere 15% of those on treatment achieved viral suppression.2 These figures highlight the necessity for strategies that are specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of different communities within the HIV AIDS landscape in Indonesia.

Currently, consumer demand for natural, high-quality curd products without dyes and preservatives is increasing. This trend places new demands on food additives - they must be technologically advanced and healthy, ensuring high consumer quality of food products. In this article, a study was conducted to investigate the quality indicators of curd products with the addition of a natural biologically active substance – arabinogalactan, during storage. An analysis of organoleptic, physicochemical, and microbiological indicators was carried out, and the dynamics of their changes during the specified storage period were determined. The results obtained showed that the addition of arabinogalactan has a positive effect on the organoleptic, physicochemical, and microbiological properties of the product, extending its storage period. The shelf life, which guarantees the preservation of the quality characteristics of the product, is 7 days from the date of manufacture at a storage temperature of 4±2°C. The analysis demonstrated that the resulting curd product with high organoleptic properties maintains its quality characteristics within the established standards throughout the entire specified storage period.

Improvising Kanak Sprak: Feridun Zaimoğlu’s Freestyle Forms and the Politics of Belonging
Authors: Teupert Jonas
Published: March 2024

Public discourse often excludes the erroneous speech of migratory subjects, thus foreclosing social and political rapprochement. This paper argues that the position outside of pregiven, linguistic norms provides migratory speech with an improvisatory quality that can serve as a catalyst for community formation. Simulating freestyle forms in writing, Feridun Zaimoğlu’s Kanak Sprak seeks to find a new language for the critique of xenophobia and to establish belonging based on precarious conditions. In a close reading of Fikret’s monologue “Pity is that true vitamin,” I show how improvisation disrupts established discourses and transforms the meaning of conventional hate speech tropes to forge transethnic alliances. The paper then turns to the subsequent volume Koppstoff and problematizes the commodification of Kanak speech in neoliberal pop culture. Çağıl’s monologue “If you’re smart, you take our side” hints at a different understanding of improvisation that reframes the relation between mainstream society and its others. Drawing on critical improvisation studies, the paper contributes to the understanding of linguistic interventions into social orders that determine who can say what, in which speech form, and according to which norms of belonging.

Factors Affecting Demand for Financial Education
Authors:   Center for Educational Research, Hahn Jinsoo
Published: March 2024

The potential outcomes of financial education are influenced not only by
supply but demand-side factors, particularly individuals’ intentions to learn
more about financial literacy. Despite this, the demand for financial education
has so far received very little attention. A survey of Korean adults(n=1,422)
is used to investigate what affects the intention to enhance financial literacy.
To this end, the study relies on the basic conceptual framework of the theory
of planned behavior. The results show that attitudes, beliefs, and perceived
behavioral control are significant determinants of intentions, supporting that
the theory can serve as an effective model. The level of financial knowledge
and overconfidence are directly related to the demand for financial education.
Those who actively invest in stocks or funds, those with loan debt, and those
without income are more likely to intend to become financially literate.
Third-country-born North Korean Defectors’ English Learning Motivation: A Case Study with Retrospective Motigraph and Interviews
Authors:   Center for Educational Research, Oh Shinyu , Kim Tae-Young
Published: March 2024

This research aims to explore the factors that influence the motivation and demotivation
of third-country-born North Korean defectors in their English learning experiences, both before
and after settling in South Korea. Motigraph and semi-structured interviews were conducted
with two third-country-born North Korean defectors, and the transcribed interviews were
analyzed based on Grounded theory. Overall, motivation to learn English significantly
increased after settlement in South Korea. Prior to settlement, factors such as accessible or
easy English classes and the aspiration to enter middle school positively impacted motivation,
whereas memorization-oriented teaching methods decreased English learning motivation.
Post-settlement, specific learning goals such as employment or university entrance, teacher
encouragement, and comparison with South Korean students, emerged as motivating factors.
However, challenges such as learning English grammar and difficulties with English language
acquisition in a Korean-speaking environment made learning English difficult. Finally, we
discussed strategies to assist third-country-born North Korean defectors in adapting to English
education after settling in South Korea, focusing on practical and educational support.

The main advantage of incorporating remote sensing techniques into wildfire management is their ability to provide real-time data. This study aimed to investigate the extent of forest fires in southwestern Iran using remote sensing data. Sentinel-2A data with a resolution of 20 meters were used to conduct this study. It is worth noting that the spectral bands selected in this study, namely spectral band 8A (red edge 4) and band 12 (SWIR 2), have proved their suitability for fire intensity classification. In this study, 1NBR (Normalized Burn Ratio) values within the study area ranged from −0.096 to 0.81. These values were categorized based on the United States Geological Survey classification table. The study area covered 4,758.915 hectares, with approximately 32.41% (1,542.284 hectares) having calculated 1NBR values. Of the total area, 60.97% (2,901.675 hectares) was burned at low intensity, while approximately 6.62% (314.956 hectares) was burned at medium intensity. Unfortunately, due to the limited extent of the study area, regions with moderate to high fire intensity and high intensity were not included in the classification. The research results indicate that the studied index has satisfactory efficiency. The application of this index to regions with characteristics similar to those of the Khaiz anticline is likely to provide valuable and reliable results.

Authors: Sarguru M , Sivasubramanian M , Ganesh T , Kumar R Thilak
Published: March 2024

The current study uses a hydrothermal technique to demonstrate the antibacterial activity of silver- doped bismuth selenium nanoparticles. Because they are more biocompatible, nanoparticles made of metals, polymers, or lipids are better suited as antibiotics. They behave like molecules, breaking through bacterial cell membranes to obstruct the molecular process. According to the studies, the activity against bacteria is caused by the host immune system being triggered, RNA and protein synthesis being inhibited, biofilm development being inhibited, cell membrane disruption occurring, or reactive oxygen species (ROS) being produced. Low toxicity and a well-established medicinal agent characterize bismuth. It had the property of good X-ray contrast agent due it is huge atomic mass (Z=83). The human body need selenium as a necessary component. In the present work, the prepared Ag doped bismuth selenide nanostructures are characterized using XRD, HRSEM with EDAX. The antibacterial property of Ag doped bismuth selenide nanostructures against gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and gram negative Salmonella enterica analysed by disk diffusion method. The optimized structure, structural parameters, Homo-Lomo, molecular electrostatic potential, dipole moments, polarizability and hyperpolarazibilary are analyzed using DFT method.

The median Itachi score in patients aged 65 and over was determined as 8 (1-26). Mortality due to falls was significantly related to cranial trauma (p<0.001).

Conclusion: Geriatric patients falling off the stretcher in the emergency department is more mortal. Measures must be taken to prevent it.
Development and Fabrication of Locust Control System - A Review
Authors:   Department of Mechanical Engineering K.D.K. College of Engineering Nagpur,India, V.N. Mujbaile
Published: March 2024

Locusts, a group comprising specific species of short-horned grasshoppers within the Acrididae family, undergo a phase where they swarm together. Typically solitary, these insects undergo a behavioural shift under certain conditions, becoming gregarious. These swarms of locusts pose a significant threat to agriculture, causing extensive damage to crops. Addressing this challenge, we're developing a simplified solution: a box equipped with ultraviolet light to attract locusts. As the locusts are drawn towards the light, they fall into the box, which then automatically closes to contain them. Subsequently, a high-voltage current is applied to the box to eliminate the locusts. To deter theft of the device, we're incorporating a security system. Additionally, the resulting locust ash can be easily decomposed. Keywords— Locusts management, Grasshopper, Locust bacterial. Desert locust, Locust hate.

El objetivo del estudio fue examinar la relación entre el estilo de vida saludable con el compromiso hacia los estudios y el rendimiento académico. Se trata de un estudio transversal en el que participaron 359 adolescentes, 162 chicos y 197 chicas, de 13 a 20 años. La actividad física, el tiempo sedentario de pantalla, la duración del sueño y la adherencia a la dieta Mediterránea fue recogida a través de cuestionarios completados por los propios participantes. Los estudiantes también informaron sobre su compromiso hacia los estudios, mientras que el rendimiento académico se calculó como una nota media de las calificaciones de los adolescentes en las asignaturas de lengua, inglés, matemáticas y educación física. Las covariables incluidas fueron la edad, sexo, estatus socioeconómico. Aquellos alumnos con mayores niveles de actividad física y una mayor adherencia a dieta mediterránea presentaron mayor compromiso hacia los estudios, y aquellos que cumplían con el tiempo de pantalla estipulado y muestran adherencia por el patrón mediterráneo obtuvieron mejores resultados académicos. No se encontraron resultados significativos para el tiempo de pantalla y el tiempo sueño con el compromiso hacia los estudios, ni tampoco para la actividad física y el tiempo de sueño con el rendimiento académico. Los resultados resaltan la importancia de promover la actividad física y la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea para conseguir un mayor compromiso hacia los estudios. También se ha comprobado que los adolescentes que consumen menos tiempo de pantalla y tienen una mayor adherencia al patrón mediterráneo mostraron un mayor rendimiento académico.
Sustainable Investing and Islamic Finance: Evidence from the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Countries
Authors: Dai Yuwen
Published: March 2024

Sustainable investing and Islamic finance have been two of the fastest-growing areas of finance. In Islamic finance, equity markets play an important role. In the literature on Islamic equities, there are relatively few studies that have integrated sustainability factors into Islamic finance. In this paper, our objective is to contribute to the line of research on the integration of sustainable investing into Islamic finance. To that end, we first examine the comparative performance of investing in the sustainability indices from those Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries that are partners of the Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative. We then conduct a case study of Borsa Istanbul in Turkey, which has the best-performing sustainability index from OIC countries. Overall, our findings reveal the heterogeneity in sustainable investment performance, and suggest the potential of obtaining superior risk-adjusted returns in certain economies from OIC countries. This study draws implication on how sustainable investing can help bridge the gap between Islamic and conventional financial markets.
Analytical Study of the Implementation of AAOIFI’s Ethical Standards in the Algerian Islamic Banking System: Assessment and Recommendations
Authors: Boudjelida Abdelhak , Bouaita Abderrezzak
Published: March 2024

Purpose ‒ The application of ethical requirements is a key way for all stakeholders in the Islamic financial industry to build trust and promote integrity. This study aims to assess the extent to which the Algerian banking system has adopted the ethical standards for Islamic financial transactions issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI).
Design/Methodology/Approach ‒ This study conducted an analytical reading. It utilised the descriptive approach to present the study's variables and employed the analytical approach to discuss the various concepts and legal regulations that govern the banking sector and to provide recommendations that would help to build a solid foundation for the banking system.
Findings ‒ The findings revealed that the Algerian monetary authority is committed to gradually promoting Islamic banking regulations in a thoughtful manner. However, the study also found that there is a lack of clarity regarding the adoption of regulatory laws in Algeria for the ethical standards issued by AAOIFI, even within the 2023 Monetary and Banking Act.
Originality/Value ‒ To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first study to assess the extent to which the Algerian banking system has adopted the ethical standards for Islamic financial transactions issued by AAOIFI.
Research Limitations/Implications ‒ The primary limitation of this research is its exclusive focus on the Algerian banking system and its reliance on secondary data.
Practical Implications ‒ This research offers valuable insights for those in decision-making roles. It recommends the establishment of a committee of experts to develop standards tailored to the Algerian Islamic banking environment. The committee should be financially independent and under the supervision of the monetary authority. Additionally, the study suggests the issuance of a code of ethics to govern the professional conduct of Islamic banks (IBs) and Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) in accordance with Sharīʿah.
