Authors: Mohamed Alshintari  , Esraa Dhaw  , Mayar Alagnaf
Published: February 2025

Papillary thyroid cancer is the most common type of thyroid cancer, affecting the thyroid gland in the neck. It can cause the thyroid gland to swell and lead to symptoms such as difficulty swallowing and shortness of breath. Treatment for papillary thyroid cancer usually involves surgically removing the affected gland and undergoing radiation or chemotherapy if necessary. It is important to detect this type of cancer in its early stages to increase the chances of recovery. Papillary thyroid cancer is a public health concern due to its recent increase in prevalence in the world. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of papillary thyroid cancer among the population in the Tripoli area, Libya, and to evaluate some of the contributing factors, including gender, age, and iodine deficiency in the body. A study was conducted on 200 people, women and men, covering most age groups from two hospitals (Tripoli University Hospital & Al-Zawiya Street Central Hospital) in the Tripoli region, western Libya. The extent of the disease was determined using a questionnaire filled out form patient files. In general, the prevalence of papillary thyroid cancer was (27.5%). Of which (75.9%) are females and (24.1%) are males. In addition, the highest prevalence rate was in the age group of 36-55 years. The most common cause of infection is a lack of Iodine in the body, and the most prominent symptom that explains the disease is the emergence of lymph nodes in the neck.

Pauper :An Amyand's hernia is a rare type of inguinal hernia in which the appendix is trapped within the hernial sac. It is named after Claudius Amyand, a French surgeon who performed the first successful appendectomy in 1735 on a patient with an Amyand's hernia.
Aims of the case report:   In this case report we highlight a rare case that contributes less than 1% of all inguinal hernias and how should be managed by the surgeon.
Conclusion: As a surgeons we should expect even the rarest cases although this condition may remain asymptomatic and behave like a normal inguinal hernia, as a result, this type of hernia most of the times diagnosed during the procedure
 Management of this type of hernia should be individualized according to appendix's inflammation stage
Adherence to surgical safety checklist and its impact on workload and team attitudes in a Vietnamese hospital
Authors: Le Thi Hoang Tho , Galang Aliswag Emerson
Published: February 2025

Background: The surgical environment demands meticulous attention to ensure patient safety, and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) as a critical component of risk mitigation and communication among surgical teams. Despite its importance, adherence to the SSC in Vietnam remains inconsistent, highlighting the need for further investigation into the factors influencing compliance and their impact on surgical outcomes.
Objectives: This study aimed to (1) evaluate the adherence rates to the SSC, (2) examine causal relationships among workload burden, team attitudes and adherence to the SSC of surgical team members at My Thien hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 241 surgical team members, Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that included demographic information, the SSC, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Adherence rates were calculated, and statistical analyses were performed using Jamovi software to explore correlations and potential predictors of adherence.
Results: The overall adherence rates to the SSC was 92.1%, with significant variations observed across different surgical phases. Emotional exhaustion (2.42 ± 0.39)) and depersonalization (2.36 ± 0.38)) scores were low, while personal accomplishment (3.59 ± 0.74)) was high, indicating a manageable workload for the surgical team. The attitudes of the surgical team towards the SSC are largely positive, with high mean scores for its usefulness (4.11 ± 0.52) and effectiveness in preventing mistakes (4.40 ± 0.52). However, concerns about its functionality and potential to cause delays were noted, with lower scores of 2.14 ± 0.45 and 2.59 ± 0.48, respectively. The study found that higher adherence was associated with lower workload burden, while the correlation between attitudes and workload dimensions was negligible. Notably, a significant direct relationship exists between positive attitudes towards the SSC and lower work burnout (estimate of 0.25, p = 0.019), suggesting that fostering positive attitudes may help reduce burnout among surgical team members.
Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of fostering positive attitudes towards the SSC among surgical team members to enhance adherence and improve patient safety. Regular interdisciplinary training and monitoring of workload and burnout levels are recommended to support the surgical team’s well-being and performance. Future research should explore the barriers to effective SSC implementation and the impact of team dynamics on adherence and burnout.
MTB – MLE of Suyot – Hanunuo Mangyan: An Instructional Aid
Authors: Marasigan Loida G.
Published: February 2025

Acquiring a second language necessitates strengthening students’ macro skills—listening, speaking, reading, writing, and viewing—through their vernacular tongue. This study highlights the critical role of teachers in the Multilingual Bridging Program, which uses the student’s native language, such as Hanunuo-Mangyan, to facilitate learning. Employing a descriptive-evaluative design, the research investigates how a bridging program can address linguistic challenges faced by Hanunuo-Mangyan students. The findings reveal that students experience cultural and linguistic barriers when transitioning between their native tongue (L1) and the introduced languages (L2 and L3). By utilizing stories and fables translated into Hanunuo-Mangyan, teachers can overcome these barriers, making lessons more accessible and culturally relevant. This study demonstrates the importance of integrating regional literature into instructional materials to strengthen students’ cognitive and linguistic development. The research contributes to the preservation of indigenous culture while enriching Filipino language education.

Authors: Isah Muhammed , Ameh Samuel , Banyigyi Hassan , Tanko Dauda
Published: February 2025

Agricultural activities involving irrigation has been intensively practiced along the banks of River Kaduna. This river is contaminated with domestic and industrial wastes. This action may expose the soil to heavy metals, which could have negative ecological effects. A total of 45 surface soil samples were taken from five sampling locations along the banks of River Kaduna within the period January to March, 2021 which represents the peak period for dry season irrigation farming and the highest dilution ratio of contaminants in the irrigation water. The experimental design was random-blocked design. Soil samples were analyzed for cadmium, lead, nickel, zinc and copper using atomic absorption spectrometer and in order to evaluate the scale of pollution in the study area, the background values were employed to estimate the values for the Enrichment factor (EF), Geoaccumulation index (Igeo), Contamination factor (CF), Contamination degree (CD), Pollution Load Index (PLI), Ecological Risk Index (ERI), and Integrated Ecological Risk Index (IERI). Data were subjected to ANOVA using SPSS version 26 software. According to the contamination indicators (EF, Igeo, CF, CD, ERI, and IERI), Cd was the main source of the heavy metal contamination, but Pb and Ni were responsible for the minor scale of pollution. However, the Pollution Load Index of all stations was within the baseline level. Irrigation of agricultural land with water contaminated with industrial effluent and sewage could be responsible for heavy metal pollution of the soil. These findings suggest that remediation techniques are necessary especially for Cd to protect the soil ecosystem due to its detrimental effects on human health.

Published: February 2025

One of the mandatory competencies for teachers in Indonesia is personality. Personality competence is a crucial aspect in shaping the character of students, and the personality competence of Christian education teachers is acquired through learning and experience. For Christian education teachers, it can also be derived from the example of Jesus Christ, the Great Teacher, based on biblical principles. This study aims to explore the characteristics of Jesus in Matthew 9:9-13 and how these characteristics serve as a foundation for the personality of effective Christian education teachers. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using text analysis and literature review methods. The results of this study indicate that the competence and professionalism of Christian education teachers need to be supported by the following attitudes: Leadership characterized by sensitivity and initiative in recognizing opportunities and converting them into actions; Open-mindedness, meaning refraining from making justifications or building subjective assumptions about students; Advocacy, which involves defending, accompanying, and providing answers concerning hope. This study recommends a personality competence model for Christian education teachers based on Leadership Characteristics, Open-mindedness, and Advocacy as a foundation and indicator for assessing the personality of Christian education teachers.

Published: February 2025

The study presents a comprehensive analysis of the Marungko Approach in significantly elevating early reading skills among kindergarten learners. Initially, the student cohort displayed modest to low reading proficiency, struggling across various reading skill indicators. However, the implementation of the Marungko Approach marked a pivotal transition, with the majority of learners achieving remarkable scores, predominantly in the highest performance brackets. The intervention's success is evident across a spectrum of reading skills, encompassing the recognition of letter names and sounds, identification of initial sounds, reading of familiar words, and fluency in reading oral passages. The post-intervention analysis revealed not just a significant improvement but a uniform advancement across these diverse reading facets. This leap in performance is statistically substantiated through the analysis of t-values and p-values, which indicated significant positive shifts across all reading skill indicators. These findings not only reinforce the effectiveness of the Marungko Approach but also highlight the transformative potential of targeted instructional strategies in early education. By significantly improving literacy skills at a foundational level, the Marungko Approach sets the stage for the future academic success of young learners. This study serves as a testament to the approach's efficacy and its role as a cornerstone in shaping the educational trajectory of kindergarten students, offering valuable insights for educators and policymakers in similar educational settings.

Published: February 2025

This study examined the attitudes of General Education and Special Education (SPED) teachers in handling learners with special educational needs (SEN). Using a descriptive-correlational research design, the study assessed teachers’ perceptions of inclusive education and their willingness to implement instructional strategies that support diverse learners. Findings revealed that both General Education and SPED teachers hold positive attitudes toward inclusive education, with SPED teachers exhibiting slightly higher attitude scores. However, statistical analysis indicated no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.479), suggesting a shared perspective on the inclusion of learners with disabilities. Key indicators such as the elimination of separate classrooms, mentoring from experienced educators, and fostering a welcoming classroom environment were rated positively by both groups. Despite the favorable attitudes, challenges such as limited resources, lack of professional training, and concerns about workload may hinder effective implementation. These findings align with previous research emphasizing that teacher preparedness and institutional support are critical factors in the success of inclusive education. The study recommends continuous professional development programs, collaborative learning opportunities, and enhanced institutional support to strengthen teachers’ abilities in managing inclusive classrooms. Addressing these factors will improve the overall effectiveness of inclusive education and support the academic and social development of learners with SEN.

Authors: Andriani Dewi , Sitorus Winner , Maskun  , Pati Sakka
Published: February 2025

This research investigates legal protection for the electronic storage of notary protocols in Indonesia, addressing challenges of security and regulatory gaps in the digital era. The study employs a normative legal research method by analyzing existing regulations, particularly Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ETI), and assessing their applicability to electronic notary protocols. Secondary data from legal documents and relevant literature complement the analysis. The research reveals that while ETI provides a legal basis for the validity of electronic documents, it lacks specific provisions for electronic notary protocol storage. Data security remains a significant concern, requiring stronger measures against illegal access and data breaches. Although encryption and digital signatures are used, their effectiveness needs to be enhanced through a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS). Furthermore, disparities in IT infrastructure among notary offices hinder the uniform adoption of electronic storage systems. Comprehensive legal protection, higher security standards, and dedicated regulations are essential to ensure the security and legal certainty of electronic notary protocols in Indonesia. The findings emphasize the need for specialized training for notaries, improved IT infrastructure, and effective law enforcement to adapt to digital notarial practices.

This study investigates the impact of varying durations of drought and different nitrogen application strategies on corn. The study employed a Split Plot Design with three replications. Main plots (levels and timing of nitrogen) included NO FERT (no fertilizer), RR+OA (recommended rate at one-time application), RR+SA (split application), RR+50N+OA (50% nitrogen), and RR+50N+SA. Subplots tested drought durations of 10, 15, and 20 days (DD). Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA, and treatment mean differences were assessed using LSD at the 5% significance level. Significant (P < 0.05) effects of fertilizer were observed on leaf area (LA), total number of kernel rows per ear (TNE), and chlorophyll content (CC). Drought significantly affected plant height (PH), LA, root weight (RW), ear length (EL), ear weight (EW), total number of kernels per row (TKR), TNE, total weight of corn ears (TWE), CC, drought score (DS), and recovery rate (RR). No significant differences were found in the interaction of drought and fertilizer, except for root weight. Subjecting plants to longer drought durations showed more negative effects on productivity. The recommended rate plus 50% of nitrogen at one-time application, along with the recommended rate and split application, are the best levels and timing of application when exposed to drought during the vegetative stage.
The dynamic impact of government agricultural expenditure on the agricultural value added in ASEAN-5 countries
Authors: Jaroensathapornkul Jirawat
Published: February 2025

This study aims to investigate the long-run and short-run impacts of government agricultural expenditure on agricultural value added in ASEAN-5 countries. It employs the Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) unit root test to ensure data stationarity and the Johansen cointegration and Error Correction Model (ECM) to determine the long-run and short-run relationships, respectively. The findings indicate that, after adjusting the data to first or second differences, they are stationary with statistical significance. Based on the Johansen cointegration test, the trace test indicates that government agricultural expenditures have a long-run impact on agricultural value added in ASEAN-5 countries. Additionally, the estimated parameters of the error correction terms suggest that we can correct the disequilibrium in the short-run impacts. The estimation results of the ECM also show that government agricultural expenditure positively affects agricultural value added under different time-lag conditions. The study concludes that the government has played a significant role in enhancing agricultural value added in ASEAN-5 countries up to the present. As government spending is a part of fiscal policy, it is suggested that the government’s agricultural budget be used more efficiently. This will help implement fiscal policy and boost economic growth in the short term.

This study aims to analyze the impact of foreign debt, foreign direct investment (FDI), exports, and labor on economic growth measured by gross domestic product (GDP) in five ASEAN member countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. This quantitative research uses panel data regression methods, combining time series and cross-sectional data from 2008 to 2018. The data were analyzed using the Common Effect Model (CEM) method. The results show that simultaneously, foreign debt, foreign direct investment, exports, and labor have a significant effect on economic growth. The analysis reveals that foreign debt and FDI have positive and significant impacts, exports have a significantly negative impact, and labor has a statistically insignificant impact on economic growth. The findings suggest that effective management of foreign debt, promotion of FDI, and investment in exports and labor development are key to sustaining economic growth in the ASEAN region. This study provides insights for policymakers to balance foreign debt with productive investments and to attract FDI to sectors that enhance export potential and labor productivity. It further provides references for ASEAN countries in managing debt, attracting investment, optimizing exports, and improving the quality of the workforce to achieve sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
Global relationships among energy, environmental and macroeconomic variables with income and regional considerations

Published: February 2025

This study investigates relationships between energy, environmental, agricultural and macroeconomic variables for 43 countries taking also into consideration income and regional effects. The aim of this research is to investigate the overall attitude of these countries towards energy consumption, economic growth and the environment at a global level, a result that could play an important role for policy recommendations for each country under its particular characteristics. Panel data estimations techniques along with Granger causality, cointegration tests and error correction models are used to extract meaningful results from the data, while data are split based on countries’ income (High income versus Medium and Low income) and countries’ region (Africa, Asia, America and Europe). The results show that the relationships of these variables alter according to the data formation, especially under income categorization, while under regional categorization agricultural and forest variables play a dominant role in the economic activity of each region supporting also long-term relationships with energy and macroeconomic variables. These results can raise awareness for different policy recommendations on the environment, as it seems that it is important to consider the overall growth stage of the country and not just the region to which it belongs.
A quasi-experimental study on projected-based and inquiry-based approaches in fourth-grade mathematics: Effects on teamwork skills and critical thinking
Authors: Zhou Yongzhi , Jantharajit Nirat , Srikhao Sarit
Published: February 2025

This study scrutinizes the influence of project-based learning (PBL) and inquiry-based learning (IBL) on fourth graders' teamwork skills and critical thinking in math classes. A historical review reveals that while they have positive effects in multiple fields, their sole use in elementary math teaching is yet to be explored. 55 fourth-grade students from Manas No. 1 Primary School in Xinjiang were randomly chosen using a quasi-experimental design. They were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught with a combination of PBL and IBL while the control group received traditional teaching. Quantitative assessment of teamwork skills and critical thinking shows that the combined method is more effective. The results emphasize the importance of developing shift-based and inquiry-centered learning programs. Nevertheless, the study has limitations such as a small sample and a short time frame.  Further examination in different cultural, educational, subject, and class-level contexts is required for process reliability before generalizing the findings.
Cryptocurrencies and Zakat Applicability: An Analysis of the Fatwa Genre
Authors: Diallo Abdourahmane , Aziz Akhtarzaite Binti Hj. Abdul
Published: February 2025

This article examines whether zakat is applicable to cryptocurrencies via a study of the fatwa genre on this topic. Fatwas from seven legal specialists in the Muslim world will be examined. These juristic opinions range from considering cryptocurrencies to be permissible to those that consider it prohibited. However, across this spectrum these authorities argue for zakat application to cryptocurrencies. The analysis will isolate and identify the relevant proof texts and principles relied upon. It will be shown that a unifying theme across the fatwa genre is of how thamaniyya is vital in linking cryptocurrencies to zakat-applicability. The study concludes that Islamic Finance successfully contains a theoretic concept, namely thamaniyya, that can help Muslim scholarship engage with advancements in cryptocurrencies regardless of future technological innovations. This study is novel for focusing on fatwa analysis through a theoretical orientation. This article sheds light on how contemporary fatwas are used in the field of Islamic Finance to negotiate between the jurisprudential tradition and cutting-edge developments in cryptocurrencies. The study is limited in not considering socio-political factors in the analysis. It is hoped the results of this study can highlight how disparate legal opinions in Islamic Finance actually share common ground.
