Published: May 2022

Unlike the Pool of Bethesda, Makkah is a moment of sacrifice, a space of unified worship in the lives of Muslim worshipers. The Makkah experience symbolizes the “farewell pilgrimage” of the Prophet Muhammad through the Arabian desert in 632 A.D. (Aljazeera, 2021). The annual Hajj expedition to the Saudi holy city is the fifth of the five Muslim Pillars of Islam. Hajj occurs during Dhu’al-Hijjah, the last month of the year according to the Islamic calendar. Millions of people from across the world assemble to pray in the direction of Ka’bah, the holiest Islamic shrine constructed by Abraham and Ishmael. The 2012 Hajj attracted more than 3 million pilgrims journeyed to Hajj. However, the 2019 SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has since forced decision-makers for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to take further preventive measures in the interests of public health that affect the outcomes of the traditional prayer and worship. Saudi Arabian government officials significantly downsized capacity and instituted protocols for attendance to the 2020 and 2021 Hajj events due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition to Muslim pilgrimages, several nations have implemented mHealth apps designed for Covid-19 contact tracing, quarantine enforcement, symptom monitoring, and information provision for mass crowding events. Independently, the apps do not provide a holistic approach to Covid-19 transmission control in mass gatherings. A more universal, less intrusive technological approaches to managing and protecting the Hajj pilgrimage populations using credible, real-time data is needful. This study proposes an information-generating SMART app based on the success of prior apps, the implementation of a Smart Hajj application, which allows authorities to track Hajj pilgrim movement, and collect data as a part of efforts to prevent Covid-19 from disrupting centuries-old tradition Muslim pilgrimages to worship in sacred places.

Authors: Onchagwa Dorine Mogoi , Wambiri Daniel
Published: May 2022

Persons living with disabilities numbers (PWDs) is growing globally (WHO, 2011). According to research conducted by Kenya National Survey for people with disabilities, indicate prevalence of disability as 4.6 percent. Visual, physical, hearing, and mental disabilities are the most common.  In 2008,the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was enforced as disabled persons  were experiencing discrimination in absorption to employment   and promotion rates, remuneration and access to training, credit facilities  and other resources and this led to their rare participation  decision making  in economic concerns. With the provision of a paradigm shift by UN Convention's, PWDs are now seen as persons capable of asserting their rights, making decisions based on free and informed consent, and participating fully in society. Disability mainstreaming issues have recently gained more attention around the world, with efforts to integrate people with disabilities critical to achieving the United Nations SDG and Kenya Vision 2030. Despite Kenya Government’s efforts in developing policies, constitution and regulations provisions in protecting persons living with disabilities, they still face problems associated with marginalization in Kenya. Many public institutions’ areas of service are not disable friendly facilities. The crux of this study therefore is to investigate strategies for implementation and mainstreaming of disability policies in public libraries. The study shall investigate existing government policies, management commitment, resource allocation, challenges experienced and possible solutions. Qualitative and quantitative data was collected using descriptive research design. The study was carried out at the Meru, Kisumu and Nakuru, Kenya National Library Services branches. Stratified and Purposive sampling was used in selecting respondents from different sections and departments. Questionnaires were used as data collection instruments, as well as document analysis and observation schedules. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used in analysis and graph generation.

Authors: Yussuf Ali Abdi , Abdul Farida
Published: May 2022

According to the auditor general’s report, despite the huge sums of money counties receive, Mandera county government has not been able to meet their recurrent expenditures and revenue collection targets from 2015 to 2020. Past studies indicate that where there are prudent public financial management practices, county governments have been able to meet their mandates. It was therefore vital to empirically test public finance management practices in the Mandera county to establish whether they have a significant role in financial performance. The general objective of the study was to examine the influence of public financial management practices on financial performance of Mandera County Government, Kenya. Specifically, the study assessed the influence of budgeting process, resource management, financial policies and internal audit on financial performance in Mandera County. The study was based on systems theory, new public management theory and allocative efficiency theory. Cross-sectional research survey was applied in this study. Target population was all the 145 county government officers working in the revenue department. Stratified sampling method was used to arrive at a sample size of 95. The study used both primary and secondary data. A questionnaire was used to collect primary data whereas data collection sheet was used to collect secondary data from audited financial reports. Drop and pick later method was applied to administer the questionnaire. The study applied descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses to analyze the data collected. SPSS was used to conduct the analysis. Quantitative data analysis entailed computing descriptive statistics including frequency and percentage; measures of central tendency including the mean and the mode; and inferential statistics is including coefficient of determination, analysis of variance and regression analysis. The findings indicate that budgeting process, resource management, financial policies and internal auditing had positive significant effect on revenue collection. The study recommended that the county governments should ensure full employment of public financial management practices through strict adherence to the laid down frameworks in budgetary processes, resources management, financial policies, and internal audit. This would lead to optimal use of the available funds.”
Influence of Credit Availability Disbursement on the Level of Savings Among Members of Deposit Taking SACCO’s in Nyeri County
Authors: Karoki Serah Nyamweru , Mungai John
Published: May 2022

One of the key goals of the SACCO movement is to mobilize savings. However, despite having the largest SACCO sectors in the world, available data shows there is a low personal and household savings rate in Kenya. The majority of Kenyans do not have a savings culture and live each day as it comes. Kenyans are thought to save only 12% of their incomes on average, which is insufficient to support any serious investment in any sector of the economy. The current study therefore sought to assess the influence of credit availability disbursements on the level of savings. This study was guided by the permanent income hypothesis and loanable funds theory of interest. The study adopted a descriptive cross sectional survey research design.  The target population was 156,000 active individual members of the 8 deposits taking SACCOs in Nyeri County. The sample of size was 400 respondents derived purposively. To obtain data, the researchers employed a standardized self-administered questionnaire. A pre-test was undertaken in deposit-taking SACCOs in Murang'a County to determine the instrument's reliability and validity. The data was analyzed using descriptive and regression analysis. In the analysis, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24 was utilized. Tables were used to present the data. Majority of the members agreed that loan ratio/multiplier was applied when granting credit facility.  The study concluded that there was a positive significant relationship between credit availability disbursements and member’s savings level in the SACCOs. The study recommended that short-term promotional incentives may be one strategy to encourage people to save more, although evidence on their effectiveness is limited. The study recommends to SASRA to accommodate the total savings and deposits when ranking the performance of deposit taking Saccos other than considering only the total assets parameter.

Published: May 2022

With the increasing population of the silver economy, many potential economic opportunities appear, in particular, in developed countries. Recently, the European Union and the Baltic Sea Region have been very active with their research on active aging and to tackle the challenges arising from the exponentially increasing ageing population. The OSIRIS project is one such EU-funded initiative to develop a digital platform for the elderly named the Digital Silver Hub, which aims to serve as an ecosystem for the quadruple helix actors (private sector, public sector, academic institutions, senior citizens) to participate in knowledge exchange, collaboration and co-creation of innovative technological solutions to facilitate the elderly population. In this paper, 30 interviews were conducted from the partner heads of the OSIRIS project as well as quadruple helix actors from each region in the Baltic Sea Region (Estonia, Latvia, Finland, Lithuania, and Denmark) in order to deeply understand the functionalities that are needed to be offered by the Digital Silver Hub. A deductive thematic analysis is conducted to analyse these functionalities in terms of Collective Intelligence (CI) components (namely staffing, processes, goals and motivation) based on a most recent generic CI model. The functionalities were further evaluated by experts working in the field of science and technology in the silver economy. As results, the needed functionalities are identified and explained in depth. As an outlook, we discuss how these functionalities can be translated into architectural components of a system design.

Published: May 2022

Pancreatic tuberculosis is very rare, but recently there has been an increase in the number of reports of pancreatic tuberculosis involvement. It closely mimics pancreatic cancer, and before the advent of better imaging modalities, it was often detected as a surprise histologic problem in patients resected for suspected pancreatic malignancy. The usual presentation includes abdominal pain, anorexia with loss of weight, jaundice which may be associated with cholestasis, fever and night sweats, a palpable abdominal mass and lymphadenopathy. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen is an important tool in the assessment of patients with pancreatic tuberculosis. This imaging gives valuable information on the size and nature of tuberculosis lesions as well as the presence of ascites and lymphadenopathy. However, there is no distinguishing feature that distinguishes it from pancreatic carcinoma. In this regard, we report a case of pancreatic tuberculosis in its pseudotumoral form, revealed during an etiological assessment of chronic abdominal pain in a 23-year-old girl who had type 1 diabetes on insulin for 5 years as ATCD. The diagnosis was confirmed by the demonstration of gigantocellular epithelioid granulomas centered by caseous necrosis on surgical biopsies of the pre-pancreatic peritoneum and lymphadenopathy. The outcome was clinically and radiologically favorable after initiation of anti-tuberculosis quadruple therapy.

Introduction: In persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), some neonates do not response to single pulmonary vasodilator drug, so recently combination therapy is being tried to decrease pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP). The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of oral sildenafil alone with combination of oral sildenafil and milrinone in neonates suffering from PPHN. Methods: This RCT study was conducted in Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital, from July 2018 to June 2020. Sixty eight (68) term and near term neonates aged <10 days (34 cases in each group) with moderate to severe PPHN were taken. Monotherapy with oral sildenafil was given in group-A and combined therapy with oral sildenafil and i/v milrinone in Group-B. Serial echocardiography was done at before starting the therapy, at 3 days and at 5 days of treatment. Data regarding baseline characteristics, clinical features, PASP, PO2, Spo2, hospital stay, mortality and others investigations were recorded and analyzed with SPSS version-26. Results: Post treatment PASP was significantly reduced in group A (sildenafil) and group-B (sildenafil plus milrinone) (p<0.05). But in combination group PASP was more reduced than monotherapy group (p<0.05). Within the group, the oxygen saturation and PO2 significantly improved in both groups (p<0.05) but no significant difference was found in between two groups (p>0.05). Adrenaline infusion, hypotension and less hospital stay were significantly seen (P<0.05) in combination group. Conclusion: Combined therapy with oral sildenafil and milrinone are more effective than monotherapy with oral sildenafil in reduction of PASP. Both therapies are effective in improvement of oxygenation.

Goal: We initiated this work with the aim of evaluating the cost and benefit of computed tomography in the management of craniocerebral trauma. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective study of 340 head trauma patients who underwent a brain scan at Luxembourg Hospital during the study period from April 1 to December 1, 2019. Result: During this study we collected 340 cases of cerebral CT scans for cranio-encephalic trauma, ie 10.36%. The average age of our patients was 22.14 years. Male dominated the study with a sex ratio of 2H / 1F. Pupils and students were the most affected socio-professional layer, ie 44.4% of cases. The most frequent aetiology was road accidents, ie 83.8% of cases. The symptoms that prompted the request for the CT scan were dominated by headache, ie 93.2% of cases. The time to complete the CT scan was between the 2nd and 6th hour after their admission to the ward. The cost of the brain scan of these patients amounted to 15, 300,000 FCFA (45,000F per person). On CT, a predominance of bone fractures was noted, ie 37.6% of cases. Intracerebral lesions were dominated by edema-hemorrhagic contusions (6.5%). Conclusion: The CT scan is the primary examination of an emergency head trauma patient. It provides a better understanding of the different types of cranio-encephalic injuries of traumatic origin, their topography and their importance. But the high cost of the scanner in our health facilities and the lack of an emergency aid service are factors that delay the urgent care of trauma patients.

Published: May 2022

The majority of head lice infestations occur in children, which results in social, economic and psychological impacts. Patients with louse infestation tend to experience psychological problems such as feeling ashamed, low self-esteem, isolated, fearful, and even frustrated due to the stigma of society that considers head lice infestation is synonymous with poor hygiene, poverty, and in children it is associated with a lack of attention from the sufferer's parents. Head lice are blood-sucking insects with a specific host that lives on the human head. This parasite cannot live outside the head for more than a certain period of time, because it must get food from the blood of its host. The prevalence of head lice infestation is still occurring throughout the world, especially developing countries. This study aims to identify the prevalence and factors causing head lice infestation in elementary school children. The research method is an analytical survey of Sunday school children in the village of Kaima, Kauditan District. After getting permission from the parents, children who met the inclusion criteria were examined with a fine comb and manually brushed the child's hair systematically from the temporal part of one side of the head to the other side. The examination was carried out on 99 Sunday school children consisting of 51 boys and 48 girls. The total number of children infected with head lice was 39 children (39.80 percent). Among the number of children infested, the girls amounted to 74.36% (29 children). Several factors were examined related to head lice infestation, namely gender, hair length, number of siblings, parental income, and parental education. Factors that were significantly related to head lice infestation were gender (p=000), hair length (p-0.009) and parental income (p=0.000). As conclusion, the prevalence of head lice infestation is still high with several risk factors. Management of the infestation needs to be done thoroughly by taking into ....

Background: In Bangladesh there is no complete data which would reflect the idea about the fate of double J stent used in pyelolithotomy and ureterolithotomy. Methods: This was a prospective observational study, conducted at the Department of Surgery, Comilla Medical College Hospital, Comilla, during the 6-month period of June 2013 to November 2013. Fifty patients diagnosed with Nephrolithiasis & ureterolithiasis admitted at the respective hospital were selected as the study sample. Proper informed consent was taken before the data collection from the concerns. Statistical analysis of the results was obtained by using window-based computer software devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-22). Result: Among the 50 patients studied, >50% of the patients were distributed among the age group of 31-40 years and next was 21-30 years. 35 patients of the series were male (70%) and 15 were female (30%). In this series, male to female ratio was 2.33:1. Among the 50 stented patients, stone was located in kidney in 30 pts (60%), in upper ureter in 10 pts (20%), in mid and lower ureter in 4(8%) and 6(12%) patients respectively. In this study, the commonest indications of D J stenting were after pyelolithotomy, following ureteroscopy for obstructive uropathy due to ureteric stone. In this study, irritative voiding symptoms like dysuria, frequency/urgency occurred in 20% and 24% respectively, and haematuria in 10% of patients. Stent encrustation in 1 (2%), stent migration in 3 (6%), stent fracture in 1 (2%), urinary infection in 2(4%) and stent colic in 1(2%) were the complications noted. Conclusion: Ureteral stents are a convenient means of drainage for the upper urinary tract. However, their use is not devoid of side effects. Stent placement results in considerable morbidity in the form of irritative lower urinary tract symptoms. The side effects associated with ureteral stents must be kept in mind when deciding on stent placement and dwell time. ............

Multi-criteria Decision-making Approach for Characterizing the Best Low Impact Development (LID) Techniques for Stormwater Management
Authors: Heidari Hadi
Published: May 2022

Low impact development (LID) techniques are known as a novel stormwater management approach designed to mitigate the adverse effects of stormwater runoff and nonpoint source pollution. This study proposes a methodology for selecting the best LIDs based on multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) while incorporating different stakeholder priorities. The proposed methodology comprises analysis of alternatives, stakeholder analysis, and application of the MCDA methods. The results show that most LID techniques received ratings of more than three from the Weighted Average Method (WAM; performing well) other than green roofs and constructed filters, and no techniques averaged lower than 2.29 out of five. There is a general consensus on how vegetated filter strips and infiltration practices would perform, while there is little consensus on bioretention, level spreaders, and porous pavements. The ratings show that the majority of stakeholders thought most LIDs would perform well (a rating of more than three). The findings of this study provide an initial insight into how to support effective and widespread LID implementation for all decision-makers such as planners, designers, engineers, and stormwater managers.
Network Interaction Utility of User-Generated Content and Destination Image Perception
Authors: Li Bingzhou , Yu Yue
Published: May 2022

The overall aim of this article is to construct and empirically validate a theoretical model about how network interaction utility based on user-generated content in virtual tourism communities influences tourism destination image perception with susceptibility to interpersonal influence
as a moderating variable. Seventeen hypotheses are proposed after theoretical deduction and are then tested. A presurvey with 63 valid questionnaires and a formal survey with 432 valid questionnaires were conducted. Then the researchers used reliability analysis, factor analysis, correlation
analysis, structural equation modeling, and hierarchical regression. The results show that susceptibility to informational interpersonal influence plays a significantly negative moderating role in the relationship between instrumental utility and cognitive image perception and the relationship
between psychological utility and cognitive or affective image perception. Susceptibility to normative interpersonal influence significantly negatively moderates the relationship between psychological utility and cognitive or affective image perception. The findings and marketing implications
helps destination marketing organizations reasonably plan tourism resources utilization and tourism product development to build or maintain a sustainable destination.
