Association of socioeconomic status with adverse birth outcomes at the Women and Newborn Hospital of the University Teaching Hospitals in Lusaka, Zambia
Authors: Lungu Agripa , Kasonka L , Vwalika B
Published: August 2023

Background: Low socioeconomic status has generally been associated with adverse birth outcomes worldwide. Adverse birth outcomes significantly contribute to perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide with some literatures showing conflicting results. At Women and New-born Hospital in Zambia, this relationship had remained unclear among women who experienced poor neonatal outcome; hence the study was done to explore this association between socioeconomic status and adverse birth outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Secondary data from ZAPPS study that had been collected prospectively between August 2015 and September 201 7 was retrieved. Altogether, 1,450 participants' information was retrieved, out of which 1,084 data records were set out for analysis after excluding those not meeting eligibility criteria. Socioeconomic status was an explanatory variable which was estimated using the standardized wealth score derived from principal component analysis of 14 variables. The wealth quintiles were further categorised into poor and not poor. Response variables were low birth weight, preterm birth and small for gestation age. SPSS version 21 was used for data analysis and p value< 0.05 was significant 

Results: This study found the incidences of SGA, LBW and preterm births to be 164, 124 and 13 5 per 1000 live births respectively. In survival analysis, the proportion of babies who survived LBW among mothers who were poor was lower (82.9%) compared to babies born to rich mothers (87.5%) (p-value = 0.189). Furthermore, the proportion of babies who survived SGA for the poor was lower (79 .1 % ) compared to babies born to none poor mothers (85.8%) (p-value = 0.032) and preterm birth for the poor (78.4%) compared to babies born to mothers who were rich (83 .6%) (p-value = 0.022). In multiple Cox regression analysis socioeconomic status was not a significant risk factor for SGA ( aHR = 1.08; 95% CI; p=0.099), LBW and preterm birth (aHR = 1.17; 95% CI; p= l.41). However, male babies (aHR = 1.80; 95% CI; p=0.012), domestic violence or abuse during pregnancy (aHR = 3.48; 95% CI [1.59 - 7.34]; p = 0.002) and maternal anaemia (aHR = 2.1; 95% CI; p = 0.019) were risk factors for SGA while prior preterm birth ( aHR = 2.02; 95% CI; p = 0.002), HIV infection (aHR = 1.22; 95% CI; p = 0.040) and anaemia (aHR = 1.37; 95% CI; p = 0.009) were predictors of preterm delivery. 

Conclusion: There was no statistically significant association between low socioeconomic status and adverse birth outcomes although being pregnant with a male baby, HIV infection, anaemia and prior preterm birth were significantly associated with SGAand preterm.

What Are They Doing in the Dark?

The dark web is creating difficulties for traditional policing. Previous studies have focused on users, but very little is known about law enforcement dealing with the core challenge of Anonymity Communication Networks: absent and anonymous suspects whose locations and identities are effectively hidden behind encryption. Based on 14 interviews with Dutch police officers and public prosecutors, enriched with a media analysis of 45 Dutch newspaper articles, we come to a model of Dutch law enforcement dealing with Tor cases. We observe that the police are adapting to the new reality of Tor use. However, they still work within their set framework which does not always match the needs for policing Tor cases. We additionally note a more prominent place for the strategy of disruption which may create the need for additional legal grounds.

The purpose of the article is to characterise the road transport of abnormal loads and theprocess of obtaining an abnormal transportation clearance as well as to present a method of supportingtransport organisation. The authors undertook to characterise road transport of abnormal loads inlight of Polish conditions. The current legal environment in Poland, foreign and domestic literaturewere used in the research for analysis. The planning process for transport of abnormal load with theanalysis of requirements specified was performed in a practical manner. In addition, the successivesteps of this process were included on a structured algorithm, showing the steps taken in the researchmethodology. A detailed analysis showed the complexity of abnormal road transport and the challengesit faces. The experience conducted shows that the process of obtaining an abnormal transportationclearance is time-consuming and involves many institutions working together. An analysis of therequirements for abnormal transport shows the process areas that are bottlenecks. Focusing effortson their proper organisation can ensure safe preparation of transport and effective management ofthe entire transportation process. The experience conducted to obtain an abnormal transportationclearance allows us to learn and understand this process, which can be a kind of signpost for thoseorganising such transport without the necessary knowledge. The authors conducted an experiment,applying for a hypothetical abnormal transportation clearance to the General Directorate of NationalRoads and Motorways.Keywords: abnormal transport, road transport, organisation of transport, transport management

Productivity, competition behaviour and weed dynamics of various row proportions of maize (Zea mays)-legumes intercropping in Arunachal Pradesh
Authors: CHOUDHARY V K , DIXIT ANIL , KUMAR P SURESH
Published: August 2023

Intercropping is the simultaneous cultivation of more than one crop species on the same piece of land and is regulated as the practical application of basic ecological principles such as diversity, competition and facilitation. Farmers of the region sow many crops in a piece of land, without following any row proportion geometrics and hence crop productivity is considerably low. A research was carried out to assess the feasibility of raising intercrops in association with maize (Zea mays L.) at ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Basar during 2010 and 2011. The results indicated that biomass accumulation was the highest with 1:1 than in the 1:5 row proportions. Leaf area index of maize with intercrop was the highest with 1:5 row proportions. The maize grain yield was obtained relatively higher with solitary maize followed by 1:2 of maize-soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Maize equivalent yield was 55.5% higher with 1:5 of maize-groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) over the solitary maize, consequently, production efficiency was remarkably improved by 48.9% with 1:5 of maize-groundnut. Land equivalent ratio, area time equivalent ratio and monetory advantage index were favourable for the intercropping implying their intrinsic advantage over solitary planting. Weed density and dry biomass were lower with 1:5 row proportions which resulted in higher weed smothering efficiency.

Published: August 2023

The present paper reports a study conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, aiming at developing a highrate reactor for treating the food processing waste-water. It was found that the waste-water had low strength biodegradability by conducting batch experiment with and without mixing cattle-dung in different volatile solid proportion and cattle-dung ratio. The BOD and COD of the waste-water were found to be 540 and 2000 mg/L respectively and pH of the processing waste-water was 1.37 that lies in the acidic range. In the batch studies conducted, the maximum gas production was recorded per kg of Total Solid Content and Net Volatile Solid Content added was observed in crushed and over ripen sample as 87.95, 91.51 L and 82.05, 84.24 L respectively. The minimum gas production per kg of total solid content and volatile solid content added was observed in waste-water sample as 2.22 and 2.42 L respectively for the digestion period of 21 days. The high-rate reactor for treating the food processing waste-water was installed at a reputed firm. The COD removal efficiency, TS removal efficiency and VS removal efficiency was found to be about 50, 36 and 29% respectively. The biogas generation potential is estimated to be 60 m3/day. The industry saved not only electric power of 96 kWh/day, but also the sludge was used as manure, thus the waste disposal was in an environmentally friendly approach.

Published: August 2023

Software programs on programme evaluation and review techniques (PERT) and critical path method (CPM) techniques have been developed to analyze the major overhauling of modern bulldozers. The knowledge of time and cost involved in a particular repair activity is essential to decide whether to continue the interrupted work and to assess whether or not it is possible to complete field operation within the stipulated time. These techniques identified forty two subsystems or activities. An analytical programme was subsequently worked out for the various operations related to major overhauling of bulldozer. The expected completion of all events required 192 hr with a variance of 8 hr. The analysis revealed that the probability of completing the overhauling ranged from 0.299 to 0.331 for completionduration of 185 to 200 hr respectively. The algorithms developed through software programs for major overhauling of bulldozer proved their superiority in the validation.
Innovation Diffusion and Sustainable Development of Deposit Money Banks in South-South Nigeria: The Moderating Role of Entrepreneurial Marketing
Authors: Nwokah Prof. N. G. , Poi Elizabeth Ledisi
Published: August 2023

Many deposit money banks in Nigeria are utilizing new technologies to innovate their products and services. But amidst these wins are some legitimate concerns about the credibility of the banks, customer trust, banks’ technical competence, capability to adopt innovations and the ability to sustain development. Framed by the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory, this study explored the relationship between innovation diffusion and sustainable development of deposit money banks in Nigeria and the moderating role of entrepreneurial marketing. A quantitative and cross-sectional survey research design was adopted to consider three (3) hypotheses formulated for the study. Based on a population size of twenty-two (22) deposit money banks in south-south Nigeria, (Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), 2022), two (2) respondents; branch managers and marketing managers were drawn randomly from each of the banks for the survey. Therefore, forty-four (44) copies of questionnaire representing the total respondents were suitably designed and administered to obtain primary data. The face validity of the questionnaire was determined by experts comprising of researchers and business practitioners with satisfactory knowledge of the subject matter. The construct and content validity were established from earlier researchers who used it, but with few adjustments. The Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient reliability measure was also applied to determine the internal consistency of items in the questionnaire using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The Pearson moment correlation coefficient was used to determine the degree of relationship between the dimensions of innovation diffusion (product innovation diffusion and process innovation diffusion) and sustainable development. Partial correlation was used to examine moderation of entrepreneurial marketing on the relationship between innovation diffusion and sustainable development. Findings reveal that inn
African States, Democracy and Political Indicators of Development: The Nigerian Scorecard
Authors: Nnorom Kingsley , Onchi Daniel Rosemary
Published: August 2023

This paper discusses African states, democracy and the political indicators of development while laying emphases on the Nigerian scorecard. The purpose of the modern African state is indeed still highly confounding and the embedded puzzle is largely attributable to democracy discontents. There was the supposition that democracy would lead to development on the continent. However, it is the position of this paper that this assumption is becoming increasingly mislaid. The paper adopted the documentary method of research which entails the use of textbooks, journals, internet and other documented materials and subsequently interrogates the linkages between democracy and development among African states with specific focus on Nigeria. It tables the political indicators of development and assesses the performance of the Nigerian state against the background of these indications. The thesis of the work is that as long as the political indicators of development are in deficiencies in Nigeria, democracy and development will remain immensely disarticulated. Relying on elite theory, the study concludes that elitist personification of the state and its institutions remains the major impediment to the linking of democracy with development in Nigeria. It recommends reforms of the institutions of the state to serve as catalyst for development in the country.

Published: August 2023

In 2002, the Public Ministry of Labor of the 15th Region received serious complaints about the work environment in the sugar-alcohol sector, reporting deaths due to exhaustion, informality and slave labor. The reaction consisted of joint actions between the Public Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Labor, the Reference Center for Workers' Health of Piracicaba, the Union of Rural Workers and the Rural Pastoral. This study sought to understand these actions and verify if they were effective. The research analyzed the set of actions, their objectives and articulations from a documentary research (2003-2014). The Regulatory Standards NR31, NR15 and NR17 were the bases for the supervision and application of the legislation, through exposure limits and scientific parameters that provided the basis for public actions. The documentary research showed that approximately 100 rural inspection procedures were carried out, about 200 mills and 850 companies (including third parties involved) were fined, close to 600 TACs were established and about 220,000 workers in the sector benefited, directly or indirectly. The synergistic way in which the different organs acted during the interventions allowed us to potentiate the positive results obtained. The ensemble was able to accomplish much more than the parties would achieve if they acted individually. This model, which proved to be quite effective, could serve as an inspiration for application in other situations, reinforcing the need for the integration of agencies in the implementation of public policies in our country.

Published: August 2023

Sociopetal and sociofugal spaces are important aspects of urban planning and design. However, no study has examined these spaces systematically, using a bibliometric perspective. This study explored the status of sociopetal and sociofugal spaces through analysis of 869 papers obtained from Google Scholar. This study’s results revealed an increasing number of publications focusing on sociopetal and sociofugal spaces over the last decade. The bibliometric analysis also showed that English was the dominant publication language and ProQuest was the most widely used source (database) for finding the papers. Besides, the most frequent keywords used were “Hall” and “chair.” The most influential document was cited 111,336 times, while the greatest number of publications were produced by Robert Sommer. These results can help architecture, urban design, and environmental psychology professionals gain a comprehensive understanding of sociopetal and sociofugal space and their planning and design implications.

Context: In 14 districts of the valley of Ica-Peru, Vitis vinifera L. plants are cultivated that produce grapes for consumption as table grapes and raisins (dried grapes); at the same time, for the production of wines and Piscos. Aims: To determine the levels of abamectin and emamectin in grapes of Vitis vinifera L from a district of the Valley of Ica-Peru. Methods: 30 lots (30 kg) of Moscatel grape variety V. vinifera L. were collected from six countryside (artisanal and organic cultivation) of the San Juan Bautista district. The extraction of abamectin (ABM) and emamectin benzoate (EMB) from the grapes was carried out with acetonitrile; it was quantified by means of Liquid Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS). The maximum permissible limit values (MRL) were established at 0.010 ppm for both insecticides. Results: The determined levels of abamectin and emamectin in grapes were 0.0012-0.015 ppm and 0.0013-0.013 ppm, respectively. Values higher than the maximum permissible limits of abamectin were found in batches A2 (0.0102 ppm), C1 (0.015 ppm), C5 (0.0113 ppm), and F2 (0.012 ppm); emamectin benzoate in lots B1 (0.0113 ppm), B4 (0.013 ppm) and C4 (0.012 ppm). Using the Shapiro-Wilk, Anderson Darling and Student's t tests, it was found that the global means of the values of the two insecticides in grapes are lower than the MRL. According to the global analysis of variance, the means of the concentrations of both insecticides were not different between the six sampling zones (countryside). Conclusions: The insecticides abamectin and emamectin are below the maximum permissible limit values (0.010 ppm) in Moscatel grapes of Vitis vinifera L., so the residual effect would not have implications for human health.

Published: August 2023

Jharkhand, one of the rich natural resources states of India, is endowed with vast fresh water resources in the form of tanks/ponds, reservoirs and dams. Dams in Jharkhand play important role in fish farming, irrigation, power generation and a wonderful tourist place. There are more than 84 dams in Jharkhand of which Chandil dam is one of the popular dams located in the Seraikela-Kharsawan district stands on the Subarnrekha River. This dam has a height of about 56.80 meters and a length of about 720.10 meters. Chandil dam has a catchment area of ​​1,963 square kilometres having a total of 90 cages. Each cage is equipped with 20 batteries to facilitate fish farming. Pangasius and Tilapia are the most preferred species for cage culture in Chandil dam. Each cage contains 4,500 specimens of these fish species. The fish are fed twice daily pellets containing 31% crude protein at 4-6% of their body weight. In 7-8 months, these fish reach a weight of about 1.2 kilogram. The average fish production per cage in the Chandil and its Sanaua dam basins is 4,000 kg. This high productivity contributes to the success of caging, which utilizes large bodies of water and meets the state’s growing demand for animal protein. The fisherman earns Rs.34432 from per cage. It was observed that the cage culture in dam is an excellent way to maximize production potential and make efficient use of large bodies of water. The present study was carried out in Chandil dam with the objective to assess the cage culture practices and fish production status. The assessment was done using the NFDB guidelines of cage culture in inland open water bodies of India using 15 parameters. Interviews with officials of Department of Fisheries and fishers was done to enquire if the guidelines were followed using a 3 point scale. This was corroborated by observation and field visits, so as to adopt the triangulation method.

Published: August 2023

El aymara es una lengua originaria de la región andina que cuenta con una rica historia y una importante presencia en la cultura y la literatura de Bolivia, Perú, Chile y Argentina. A lo largo de su evolución, el aymara ha experimentado diversas transformaciones y cambios, tanto por su relación con otras lenguas y culturas como por factores internos.

A pesar de los esfuerzos por su preservación y promoción, el aymara se encuentra en una situación de riesgo debido a la influencia del español y la migración de las comunidades rurales a las ciudades. Sin embargo, existen diversas iniciativas para fomentar el uso y la difusión de la lengua aymara, como la educación bilingüe, los medios de comunicación en aymara y los estudios lingüísticos.

La lengua aymara ha sido fundamental para la cultura y la literatura de la región andina desde tiempos prehispánicos hasta la actualidad, y sigue siendo una expresión viva de la riqueza lingüística y cultural de la región. La literatura en aymara ha contribuido a la revitalización de la lengua y de la cultura aymara, y ha ayudado a reafirmar la importancia de la diversidad lingüística y cultural en la región andina.
Kenyan English: The Chimera in Sociolinguistics of English-speaking Communities in Kenya
Authors: Ayieko Gerry O.
Published: August 2023

The English language has spread across the globe in the last two hundred years resulting in a number of non-natives varieties of English across the globe. There is a divergence between these different varieties in phonology, morphology, syntax, lexical semantics and sentential semantics, discourse, an pragmatics as well as sociolinguistics. There is a general tendency to name these varieties based on countries such as Indian English, Nigerian English etc, the main argument in the present paper is that such terms are inaccurate from a dialectological perspective. The present study adopted a critical review methodology to critique the construct ‘Kenyan English’. The three main questions that the critical review sought to answer were: i) how is the existence of “Kenyan English’ exist as an independent variety of English conceptualised? ii) what are the research paradigms and theoretical assumptions underlying the investigation of ‘Kenyan English’? iii) to what extent can one speak of ‘Kenyan English’ as a discipline with its own distinct methodology? The study reviewed fifty studies on Kenya that were selected using a criterion set up focusing on: the methodology, aims, methods, and findings of the study. The findings were thematised into ontology, epistemology, axiology and methodology and each study assessed using these parameters. The results show that the existence of “Kenyan English’ as an independent variety of English is really in doubt and lacks empirical support because of the research paradigms and theoretical assumptions used so far. There are no clear and distinct methodology or methods that have been applied in ‘Kenyan English’ as a discipline. There is need to incorporate methodology and methods of standard dialectology so that the variety ‘Kenyan English’ can be established in space and time of the country Kenya.

The inaugural meeting of the Workshop on Multimedia and Hypermedia Systems, now known as WebMedia, took place in 1995, one year after the founding of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). While the tram was still departing the station, Brazil boarded it. However, Tim Berners-Lee offers harsh criticism of the Web’s effects, applications, and uses three decades after he lay the Web’s conceptual cornerstone. Such as false information, widespread manipulation, the unethical use and exploitation of personal information, corporate monopolies, and dangers to democracy. He followed and kept abreast of the moral implications of the Web. However, did WebMedia also stay up in this context? We followed the Systematic Literature Review methodology with the aim to answer how WebMedia research published between 2005 and 2022 explicitly incorporates ethics. We analyzed 1331 papers, 52 (≈4%) presented ethical aspects, and, from these, one stood out. We concluded that the ethical aspects remained tiny, considering the time coverage. Less than 10% of the publications presented some ethical aspects, including the respective research. The occurrences of Ethics Committee, Informed Consent, or a combination of both did not reach 2% of the publications. Even though the Web and Multimedia are cross-cutting themes in technical and non-technical aspects, the first is dominant. In contrast, the deliberations related to the second are limited, as well as on Ethics or Morals. Therefore, we propose guidelines for community appreciation, embracing a culture of ethical aspects. Our main contribution is bringing a meta-research perspective on ethical aspects dedicated to WebMedia.
Die zivilrechtliche Zuordnung elektrischer Energie
Authors: Georgopoulos Nikolaos
Published: August 2023

If the share of renewable energies in the electricity mix increases to more than 85 % in the long term, as has been defined as the climate protection target for 2050, both short-term and long-term electricity storage will be necessary in order to actually achieve the targets. The long-term strategy therefore also includes the targeted expansion of decentralized structures in order to establish shorter distances from production to consumption sites. Intelligent networking in urban quarters can play a key role here. Neighborhood storage facilities, which are characterized in particular by the fact that several parties feed in and output electrical energy in a decentralized manner, could represent such a network and contribute to the relief and stability of the power grid. A possible operator of parts of such decentralized quarters is the homeowners' association. In addition to general synergy effects in terms of acquisition costs and system utilization, the condominium owners' association comes into consideration precisely because no separate company formation is required and there is often a close spatial connection between the participants. A model analysis of the operation of a photovoltaic system and energy storage in the neighborhood by the condominium owners' association raises questions of property law in particular, which come into focus due to the fact that the electrical energy is generated and managed here by a majority of persons. In this context, the legal question of the allocation of electrical energy in the form of absolute subjective rights becomes particularly relevant. The present study makes a systematically thought-out proposal with regard to the allocation of energy under civil law on the basis of the practical operating sequence of an energy storage facility and provides an initial basis for answering elementary follow-up questions.
Vertrauen durch Recht
Authors: Wünschel Jörg
Published: August 2023

The book is dedicated to the question of how trust in the art trade, which is all too often undermined by the careless handling of art forgeries, can be strengthened again. While first discussing if and in what way law can generate and stabilize trust in a market, the legal and intellectual-historical framework of the emerging art trade in the Burgundian and Spanish Netherlands in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries is then analyzed on the basis of original guild statutes, court documents and contracts in order to trace the reasons for the deregulation of the art trade and for the emergence of uncertainty that has characterized it ever since. Finally, a way is shown to banish uncertainty and to restore trust in the art market.
Subjekt und Psychoanalyse
Authors: Steinmetz Michael
Published: August 2023

The study bridges the gap bewtween Paul Ricœur’s and Jacques Lacan’s interpretations of Freudian psychoanalysis by relating both to dialectical models of reflexive self-consciousness. Both authors conceive of subjectivity as mediated through the Other. While Ricœur, inspired by Fichte’s dialectic, aims at a a reflexive appropriation of the Other by the self, in Lacan’s Hegelian dialectic the reflexive moment is dissipated in the ecstatic reference to the Other. This dialectical interpretation allows for a new comparative perspective on Ricœur’s hermeneutic as well as Lacan’s structuralist interpretation of psychoanalysis.
Survey of Methods Applied in Cooperative Motion Planning of Multiple Robots
Authors: Anwar Ali Zain , Israr Amber , Hasan Raza
Published: August 2023

Recent advances in robotics, autonomous systems, and artificial intelligence (AI) enable robots to perform complex tasks such as delivery, surveillance, inspection, rescue, and others. However, they are unable to complete certain tasks independently due to specific restrictions. In the last few years, researchers are keenly interested in deploying multi-robots for such tasks due to their scalability, robustness, and efficiency. Multiple robots; mobile robots, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs); are gaining much momentum and versatility in their operations, whereas cooperative motion planning is a crucial aspect of incorporating these robots into boundless applications. The purpose of this review chapter is to present an insightful look into the problem of cooperative motion planning with its solution and a comprehensive assessment of various path-planning techniques, task-based motion planning techniques, and obstacle avoidance protocols. It further explores the role of AI in the motion planning of multi-robots. Moreover, it highlights various applications and existing issues in these applications that require future consideration. This review chapter implies that researchers, industries, and academia should aspire to cooperative motion planning for robotic expansions.
Advances in male infertility treatment through Assisted Reproductive Technology
Authors: Javed Murid , L. Tan Seang
Published: August 2023

Male infertility is responsible for 40–50% of human infertility. Earlier treatment options for male factor infertility included timed intercourse, intrauterine insemination, or in vitro fertilization. These techniques are not helpful in severe male factor infertility cases as either the sperm number is extremely low or sperm motility is very poor. The introduction of intracytoplasmic sperm injection has opened the door for numerous advancements as only one sperm is needed for one egg. It has enabled men with few or no sperm in their ejaculates to have their own offspring. Surgical sperm retrieval techniques, with or without the help of a microscope, have been invented to retrieve sperm from the epididymis or testicular tissue. The clinical outcomes after the utilization of these techniques are similar to those obtained after the use of ejaculated sperm. Preimplantation genetic tests are now available to detect chromosomal aneuploidies, single gene defects, or chromosomal structural rearrangements in embryos created by using normal or defective sperm or eggs. This chapter explains in a comprehensible way, the basic and the more advanced assisted reproductive technologies to treat male factor infertility.
