Authors: Ikpe AE  , Ohwoekevwo JU  , Ekanem II
Published: May 2024

Background: Medical robotics has become an integral part of day-to-day healthcare services, revolutionizing the way medical procedures are performed and improving patient outcome.
Aim: This study explored the role of medical robotics in healthcare, focusing on its impact on various aspects of patient care.
Methodology: The methodology used in this study involved a comprehensive review of existing literature on medical robotics and its applications in healthcare settings.
Results: The findings reveals that medical robotics has significantly enhanced the precision, efficiency, and safety of medical procedures, leading to reduced invasiveness, and faster recovery times for patients. Additionally, medical robotics has enabled healthcare providers to perform complex surgeries with greater accuracy and minimal invasiveness, ultimately improving the quality of care for patients. The findings obtained from this study also showed that robotic surgery results in fewer complications and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional surgical methods. This results in a growing adoption of robotic-assisted surgery in various medical specialties, such as urology, gynaecology, and orthopaedics. In addition to surgical procedures, medical robotics is also being used in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. For example, robotic systems are being developed for minimally invasive procedures, such as biopsies and drug delivery. Furthermore, robotic devices are being used in rehabilitation and physical therapy to assist patients in regaining mobility and function.
Conclusion: One of the main concerns is the cost of implementing and maintaining robotic systems, which can be prohibitive for some healthcare facilities. Also, there are concerns about the potential for errors and malfunctions in robotic systems, which could compromise patient safety. Overall, the integration of medical robotics in day-to-day healthcare services has proven to be a game-changer, offering new possibilities for the future of healthcare delivery.

Authors: Zandian P  , Seydi Z  , Benyamin K  , Tayeri N
Published: May 2024

Background: Justified Death Attitude (JDA) is a new term about one’s agreement with killing someone else. Previous studies have shown the Justified Death Attitude Scale (JDAS) is valid and reliable. We also know that some variables like major and gender are associated with JDA, but we do not know how gender, ethnics, generation, and sanity differently would affect JDA.
Objectives: This was a cross-sectional study to evaluate the effect of ethnics, generation, gender, and sanity on the attitude of the people about justified death.
Method: In 2022, 744 participants, including 368 male and 376 female participants were selected through convenience sampling method in Tehran, Ilam, Khorramabad, and Sanandaj. Participants were stratified according to age (528 adults, 216 older adults), religion (538 Shiite, 108 Sunni, and 98 Assyrian participants), and sanity status (460 normal and 284 participants with possible mental illness). Participants filled out General Health Questionnnair-12 (GHQ 12) and Justified Death Attitude Scale (JDAS).
Results: Older, Shiite, and Sunni participants agreed more with death penalties, but younger and Assyrian participants disagreed more with death penalties. Furthermore, young, Assyrian agreed more often with euthanasia. Different generations think significantly differently about the type and severity of execution and euthanasia.
Conclusion: The more diverse the sociocultural background, the more different is the attitude about justified death. That might be due to dissimilar crystallization of sense of self in different socio-cultural backgrounds and through different cognitive processes.
comparative study on some cardiovascular indices among morticians exposed to formaldehyde in Benin City, Nigeria
Authors: Ebojele FO  , Iyawe VI
Published: May 2024

Background: Some cardiovascular indices among morticians exposed to formaldehyde in a Teaching hospital and General hospital were studied.
Materials and Methods: Thirty subjects were studied and divided into three groups A, B, and C with 10 subjects in each group. Group A served as control with nil exposure to formaldehyde while groups B and C served as the test groups. Subjects in group B were morticians working in the Teaching hospital while subjects in group C were morticians working in the General hospital. Anthropometric measurements were taken and some cardiovascular indices were measured which included pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, and mean arterial pressure. Statistical analysis was done using Graph Pad Prism version 8.0.1. Results were presented as Mean ± SEM. Analysis of Variance was used to compare the means of test and control values while post hoc test was done using Tukey’s multiple comparisons test and a P-value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: Results revealed significant increase in pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, and mean arterial pressure among morticians of the Teaching hospital and General hospital when compared to the control and those of the General hospital morticians were higher compared to the Teaching hospital morticians.
Conclusion: It was therefore concluded that exposure to formaldehyde has deleterious effects on the cardiovascular health of morticians hence, there is an urgent need to seek ways of reducing the atmospheric levels of formaldehyde in our mortuaries in order to protect the cardiovascular health of the morticians.

Authors: Gudaji MI  , Aghukwa NC  , Baguda AS  , Fawaz B  , Aminu LS
Published: May 2024

Background: This study delved into the Psychometric Evaluation and Validation of the Brain Fag Syndrome Scale (BFSS) among students at Bayero University Kano. Documented extensively among African students, particularly in academic settings, Brain Fag Syndrome (BFS) is rooted in recurrent mental exhaustion impacting students emotionally and physically. As the concept of BFS as an exhaustion syndrome emerged, a thorough examination of its psychometric properties became essential.
Methods: Employing a cross-sectional survey design, 625 3rd-year undergraduate students from Bayero University Kano were randomly selected, representing 89.3% of the intended sample size. Socio-demographic characteristics were explored, scale reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha, and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted to unveil the BFSS latent structure. The Brain Fag Syndrome and Fatigue Assessment Questionnaire development stemmed from identified components related to Fatigue and Exhaustion.
Results: Analysis with SPSS v26 included all 625 participants with complete data. BFSS exhibited moderate to good reliability (Cronbach's alpha ≈ 0.738). EFA identified a distinct "Fatigue and Exhaustion Factor," strongly linked to fatigue and concentration challenges. A scree plot aided in retaining optimal factors, highlighting the dominance of the identified factor.
Conclusion: This study significantly contributes to the validation of the Brain Fag Syndrome Scale (BFSS) and the derivation of a prototype questionnaire for fatigue and exhaustion syndrome. The identified factors align with the evolving understanding of BFS as an exhaustion syndrome, informing diagnostic criteria refinement and enriching the discourse on students' psychological well-being within a cultural context.

Authors: Ogbonna VI  , Alabere ID  , Babatunde O
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Reproductive health services (RHS) are used and accessed differently in rural and urban areas, though to what extent is unknown. In Rivers State, Nigeria, we identified and examined the characteristics impacting adolescents' access to and use of RHS in rural and urban areas.
Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study design was employed, five hundred and seven adolescents—255 from urban and 252 from rural communities—were surveyed. Access and utilization were measured and using adjusted odd ratios in multivariate logistic regression models, predictors of access and utilization were identified.
Results: The corresponding median ages and interquartile ranges were 16.0 (14–19) and 14.0 (12–16) years, respectively. RHS utilization was low, with 57 (22.6 percent) in rural areas and 65 (25.5 percent) in urban areas. There was also a lack of access to services; only 8 (3.17 percent) rural and 81 (31.76 percent) urban residents had economic access to RHS. Access and utilization were predicted by age, level of education, awareness of RHS, sexual experience in both communities, beliefs that condoms can prevent STIs/ HIV, and exposure to mass and socio-media influenced access and utilization of RHS. Specifically, age group (15-19 years) of respondents was found to be a significant predictor of utilization of RHS for both urban (cOR=4.32, 95% CI; 0.82-22.69, p=0.001) and rural (aOR=7.65, 95% CI; 1.99-29.40, p=0.003) adolescents.
Conclusion: Adolescents in urban areas have more access (3 in 10) and utilization of RHS compared with their rural (3 in 100) counterparts. There is a need to promote information and education on RHS among adolescents, especially in rural areas.

Then binary mixtures are prepared in appropriate mole fractions xb-1=(0.0, 0.1773, 0.3493, 0.5514, 1.0) or Vb-1=(0.0, 7.0, 15.79, 30.04 and 100.0)% )in volume percentages by using special connected flasks. Two different static devices with high accuracy were used to measure the saturated vapor pressure of butanol-1, diesel B0 fuel and their binary mixtures [8]. Glass gauge sockets (3, 4, 27) are used to measure saturated vapor pressure at subatmospheric pressure and temperature T=(274.15÷323.15) K (Fig. 1). The metal gauge socket is used to measure the saturated vapor pressure at temperatures T= (323.15÷473.15)K (Fig. 2). The experimentally obtained results of saturated vapor pressure of butanol-1 and diesel B0 fuel mixtures were fitted to analytically by means of Clausius-Clapeyron type equations.Experiments to measure the isobaric heat capacity cp/(C·kg-1·K-1) of butanol-1, diesel B0 fuel and their mixtures at atmos-pheric and saturated vapor pressures were measured in a Pyris 1 type differential scanning calorime-ter (Fig. 4) [10] . The measuring chamber is resistant to a temperature of T=573.15 K and a pressure of 24 bar. Measurements were carried out at temperatures (263.15÷468.15) K, atmospheric p=0.101 MPa and saturated steam pressures Ps/MPa. The experimentally obtained results of heat capacity of butanol-1 and diesel B0 fuel mixtures were analytically written by means of an empirical polynomial equation.
Unveiling Urban Evolution: Assessing Patterns of Transformation in Guangzhou's Net Production
Authors: Li Hong
Published: May 2024

Urban evolution refers to the continuous changes and adaptation of urban environments to social, economic, technical, and environmental changes, acknowledging that cities are dynamic systems. Urbanization and land use/cover change (LULCC), which are mostly caused by human activity, which have a big impact on the environment. These two variables also affect urban vegetation when combined with climate change. We choose Guangzhou City to examine how urban growth processes and spatial changes in urban areas affect net production (NP). A Machine learning [ML] approach such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) was utilized to examine the relationship between NP and urbanization intensity. This study examined to analyze urban evolution, focusing on the patterns of change in the NP in Guangzhou City, China. The findings demonstrated between 2011 and 2023, the NP in the studied region decreased overall and had distinct geographic variation. The mean Urban Development Index (UDI) in Guangzhou increased significantly between 2011 and 2023. In both years, metropolitan exurbs constituted the majority of the urban geographic category, but the most notable increase in urban fringe areas, which accounted for about 2,320.24 km2 of the urban exurbs. Regarding UDI and NP, there was an opposite relationship, suggesting that the growing intensity of the growth of urban expansion negatively affected NP. Urban development intensity negatively influenced NP, with urban fringes experiencing the most significant losses due to an increase in urbanization and a decrease in agriculture.
From Aristocrat to Religionist: Kyai Pati and Islamic Renaissance in 16th-Century Semarang
Authors: Purnomo Arif , Kurniawan Ganda Febri
Published: May 2024

Semarang is a city with a sizeable Muslim population in Central Java Province, Indonesia. In 2022, the Muslim population in Semarang will reach 87.38%, and this indicates that the role of the Muslim community in various areas of life cannot be underestimated. Reading the history of Islamization in Semarang, a unique name will emerge: Wasis Jaya Kusuma, known as Kyai Pati; this figure is a symbol of concrete identity change in the life of traditional Javanese society in the 16th century. This change occurred because of his bitter life experience, being defeated in the war against the Islamic Mataram Kingdom under the leadership of Panembahan Senopati. Finally, he changed from being a nobleman to becoming a religionist who devoted himself to the people of the South Semarang area. This life story is a humanitarian phenomenon that is important to reflect from a global perspective that war can change a person's identity. Advantage or disadvantage, this change in identity has placed someone like Kyai Pati in a respected position; through the path of Syiar, he has become an essential part of the history of Islamization in Semarang.

Published: May 2024

The use of metaphor in political discourse is pervasive. One of the common source domain used in political metaphor is of WAR source domain. The increasing use of WAR metaphor reflects the intensity of the political situation. This paper examines the diachronic used of WAR metaphor in Indonesian Political Discourse. The aim is to analyze the use of the WAR source domain of metaphor used to speak about the Indonesian Political Situation and to compare the use of the metaphor before and after the direct election system is in effect (in 2004). The data are taken from 1896 news articles related to the political situation dan political coalition, that spans from 1980 to 2020 in Tempo online magazine. The study is corpus-based with The Conceptual Metaphor Framework of Lakoff and Johnson used as the theoretical background. The data analysis is conducted in two stages, first by quantitative analysis using Antconc Corpus Concordance Software to measure the frequency of WAR metaphor used to speak about Political situation and the second is the qualitative analysis to evaluate the change and the development of metaphor use. The result of the study should reflect how the political change that occurred in Indonesia can be reflected through the language in particular reflected from the metaphor used to speak about the political condition. The finding shows that there are three categories of diachronic change of WAR metaphorical expression: the first is the terms that have been used metaphorically even before 1998 (reformation era); the second is the terms that are recorded in use as a metaphor after 1998 and the last is the metaphorical expressions that are recorded in use before 1998 but have not been recorded after that.

Published: May 2024

This study aims to examine the factors of human capital and technology (ICT) that impact the economic growth of localities in Vietnam in the period 2016-2021. The study also evaluates the interactive impact between information technology factors and human capital factors on economic growth. The results show that the variables of the rate of labor over 15 years old, or the rate of workers with vocational training, have a positive impact on economic growth, while the factors of the number of people attending secondary school or spending on Education has a negative impact on local economic growth. The technology index (ICT) has a positive impact while the information technology human resource index has a negative impact on growth. Under the interactive impact of ICT, it can increase growth but can also reduce economic growth at a higher level. These results help provide some policy implications to help improve economic growth for localities in the next period.

Published: May 2024

The rate of joblessness in Saudi Arabia has been a major worry in the past few years, exhibiting swings because of several economic causes. The nation has the formidable task of accommodating a substantial influx of fresh graduates into the labor market annually, posing an obstacle for government officials to offer sufficient employment prospects. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of comprehensive research on the influence of macroeconomic variables, such as energy consumption, on joblessness.  The objective of this study is to examine the influence of several macroeconomic factors, such as foreign and domestic investment, trade liberalization, inflation, urbanization, economic growth, and energy consumption, on the levels of unemployment in Saudi Arabia. The ARDL estimate method was used to assess the yearly data spanning from 1971 to 2022. The findings indicate a varied anticipated influence of the independent and dependent variables over an extended period of time. While there is a short-term negative correlation between energy consumption and rate of joblessness, this relationship does not hold true in the long term. The study culminates with a compilation of policy suggestions.

Authors: Amadi-Ikpa, C.N.  , Dimkpa, F. B.
Published: May 2024

Microbial contamination of peeled oranges for sale were investigated vis-à-vis the microbial air quality at the points of sale. Sixty (60) oranges were purchased from high, low and less vehicular /human traffic sales points and analyzed using standard microbiological procedures. Analysis involved the spread plate and plate exposure techniques. Results of the analysis showed that the mean total microbial (bacteria and fungi) load on the surface of peeled oranges at the points of sale were: 1.0 x 104, 1.4 x 104, 1.4 x 104cfu/ml for less, low, and high human and vehicular movement sales points respectively, which showed no significant difference existed at (P>0.05) the points of sale. Basically, the microbial counts of 1.5 x 103, 2.7 x 103, 1.8 x 103 and 6.4 x 103cfu/ml were obtained for Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella and heterotrophic bacteria respectively on the peeled orange surfaces, which showed a significant difference (P > 0.05) exist within the microbes. Pearson’s correlation coefficient showed 33% and 55% for bacterial and fungal spores on the peeled orange surfaces respectively, were dependent on time. A total of 29 microbial isolates belonging to five species (Escherichia, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, Candida and Aspergillus) were identified. The result showed that the outer surfaces of peeled oranges were contaminated with microbes of medical importance irrespective of the points of sale. Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus counts satisfied the set limit of bacteria in ready-to-eat foods. However, the presence of these bacteria is an indicator of poor sanitary practices of orange vendors and polluted air quality at the sales point. Hence, orange vendors should receive appropriate training in hygiene matters that are in line with their work ethics and they should cover the peeled oranges displayed for sale.

ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TRADITIONAL TREATMENT METHOD
Authors: Boltayev Timur Shavkatovich
Published: May 2024

The problem of treating surgical infection of soft tissues against the background of diabetes mellitus remains relevant to the present day. This is due to an increase in the number of patients with diabetes mellitus and an increase in purulent-inflammatory complications in them. It is the development of purulent complications in patients with diabetes mellitus that often cannot be avoided without surgical interventions, the postoperative mortality of which is high - up to 20%.
The course of this pathology against the background of diabetes mellitus negatively affects the outcome of the disease. The purpose of our study was: to analyze the effectiveness of clinical and laboratory features of the course of purulent surgical soft tissues against the background of diabetes mellitus. 166 patients with purulent surgical diseases of soft tissues were studied. Group I consisted of 40 patients with no diabetes mellitus, group II 43 patients were on the background of diabetes mellitus. The results of the study showed: the timing of normalization of the criteria for assessing the wound process and indicators of general intoxication of the organism of groups I and II were 3 days late in patients with purulent surgical diseases of soft tissues against the background of diabetes mellitus than in patients without concomitant disease diabetes mellitus.

. Information about the anatomy of the stomach of white-breedless rats is very rare in the scientific literature. The shape, structure, and topography of rat stomachs are significantly different from those of vertebrates, but the same sections as shark stomachs can be found in them. This structure of white rat stomach sections characterizes the sac-like formation of the digestive tract. In the anterior part of the abdominal cavity of rats, on the left side of the midline, there is a hole for the heart between the esophagus and the line of the lesser curvature of the stomach. The liver is located in the small curvature of the stomach and partially covers it. The greater curvature of the stomach touches the caecum and cecum.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health problem that affects all age groups, races and ethnicities[1,3,4]. Currently, about 177 million people worldwide suffer from this disease[33,34]. According to WHO forecast, the number of patients with diabetes will increase to 300 million people by 2025[2,5,6]. Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is the most common and accounts for about 90% of diabetes cases[7,8,9].
Estimate of Some Immune-Biomarkers in Children with Entamoeba Histolytica Infection
Authors: Shakour Sunbul Jalal
Published: May 2024

The current work was aimed to evaluate of some immune-biomarkers in children with Entamoeba histolytica infection. General stool examination was done to patients for detection of E. histolytica infection. A total 150 patients of less than 13 years, whom attended the parasitology section at period February to June 2023. The chosen patients were suffered from abdominal pain and diarrhea. The results showed that gender is not related to infection with E. histolytica, as there were no significant (P≤0.05) differences between the proportions of males and females. The IgG concentration of infected children (24.05±3.94 ng/L) indicated a significant (P≤0.05) rise compared to the healthy children (11.72±2.55 ng/L). IgA concentration of infected children (159.42±18.62 ng/L) indicated a significant (P≤0.05) rise compared to the healthy children (38.93±7.01 ng/L). IgM concentration of infected children (4.84±0.45 ng/L) indicated a significant (P≤0.05) rise compared to the healthy children (2.17±0.35 ng/L). The IL-4 concentration of infected children (29.47±4.04 pg/ml) indicated a significant (P≤0.05) rise compared to the healthy children (16.54±3.94 pg/ml). IL-6 concentration of infected children (183.25±21.37 pg/ml) indicated a significant (P≤0.05) rise compared to the healthy children (26.12±4.51 pg/ml). The TLR2 levels of infected children (24.05±3.94 ng/L) indicated a significant (P≤0.05) rise compared to the healthy children (11.72±2.55 ng/L). therefore, its concluded that E. histolytica lead to a high immune response that leads to an increase in levels of immune parameters in infected children
Navigating the Immune Response Landscape of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Virus Infections

Published: May 2024

Both the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the hepatitis C virus (HCV) are viral pathogens that primarily target the liver and can lead to chronic liver disease. The nature of the immune response that the host mounts can vary depending on the structural differences between these two viruses. HBV is a partially double-stranded DNA virus enveloped in an outer envelope with a relatively stable genome and limited antigenic variation. It consists of an inner nucleocapsid core containing viral DNA, viral polymerase, and core antigen (HBcAg). The envelope comprises surface antigens (HBsAg) important for viral entry and immune recognition. HCV is a single-stranded RNA virus with an envelope. It has a high degree of genetic diversity due to its error-prone RNA polymerase, resulting in multiple HCV genotypes and subtypes due to its high mutation rate. Both viruses activate innate immune responses, producing type I interferons (IFNs) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. HBV can actively fight these antiviral responses in several ways, such as by making viral proteins that mess up the innate immune signalling pathways. At the same time, HCV developed strategies to evade and modulate the host's innate immune system, allowing it to establish persistent infections. The adaptive immune response against HBV and HCV involves both humoral and cellular components. Antibodies against HBsAg (anti-HBs) are critical for viral clearance and protection. CD8+ T cells are also very important for controlling HBV infection because they find and kill infected hepatocytes. During infection, HCV-specific antibodies and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are made. However, HCV can evade immune responses by rapidly mutating its surface proteins (e.g., E2) and modulating T-cell responses. It is important to note that the immune response to HBV and HCV is a complex and dynamic process that involves various factors beyond the structural differences described above. Host factors, viral load, viral persistence, and the interplay between innate and adaptive immune responses also significantly influence the outcome of the infection

Published: May 2024

Plasmids are of paramount importance in the field of bacterial ecology and evolution due to their facilitation of the horizontal transfer of accessory genes (HGT). It has become evident that, apart from their evolutionary role, plasmids also have the ability to influence the expression of various bacterial traits. Approximately 25% of the plasmids contain the necessary functions to autonomously undergo conjugation, while the remaining plasmids can be mobilized through conjugation at a later time. Given their potential significance, this review centers on the role of these minuscule sequences of nucleotides in various biological activities

Published: May 2024

Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most successful modern pathogens of community and hospital acquired bacterial infections. MRSA can lead to diverse infection such as bacteremia, endocarditis, skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections and hospital- acquired infections . As well as genetically diverse, the epidemiology of MRSA is primarily characterized by the serial emergence of epidemic strains. MRSA still poses a formidable clinical threat, with persistently high morbidity and mortality. They are also becoming increasingly multi-drug resistant and have recently developed resistance to vancomycin, which has been used successfully to treat MRSA for many years . Successful treatment remains challenging and requires the evaluation of novel antimicrobials. In   Conclusion the emergence of CA-MRSA and VRSA isolates is changing the management of clinical infections potentially caused by S. aureus. Rapid methods for accurate detection of MRSA are needed to promptly identify patients and implement contact precautions as well as appropriate treatment. Molecular genotyping techniques have an important role in evaluating possible outbreaks and for understanding of the emergence and evolution of MRSA strains
