Evaluation of Satisfaction Level of Pregnant Women Presented for Obstetrics Ultrasound Scan in Gombe State Specialist Hospital in North Eastern Nigeria
Authors: Lawan Sajida B. , Zira Dlama J. , Yahaya Bappah S.
Published: August 2023

Obstetrics ultrasound plays an important role in patients care through foetal and maternal management serving as an indispensable tool  in routine antenatal care due to its sensitivity in detecting foetal anomaly, failed pregnancy, pregnancy dating as well as multiple  gestation. The study aimed at evaluating the level of satisfaction in pregnant women presenting for obstetrics scan at Gombe State Specialist Hospital where a convenient sampling technique was used to draw one hundred and sixty (160) pregnant women coming for  obstetric scan at Gombe State Specialist Hospital from February, 2020 to June 2020. Data was collected using a well-structured  questionnaire designed based on the parasuraman service quality model and analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 where descriptive statistics were generated and presented in Tables and Charts. The participants were aged between 16 and  40 years with a mean age of 24.64. The results showed total patient’s satisfaction with regards to waiting area and waiting time, however  highest level of unsatisfaction is recorded in the patient’s perception of the accuracy of the ultrasound scan. The study also found  majority of the respondents believed that the main purpose of obstetric scan is to check for fetal wellbeing while 19.4% of the  respondents had obstetric scan for gender determination. Obstetrics scan is considered to be a major examination among pregnant  women for confirmation of fetal wellbeing and gender. The level of education and exposure by pregnant women serve as a key factor in  expecting more from obstetric scan.

Published: August 2023

The aim of the present study was to determine the protective effect of Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) on Aluminum chloride (AlCl3) induced  cerebral and hippocampal toxicity in Wistar rat. The experimental design involved 5 groups of 5 rats that were treated with saline,  Aluminum chloride and/or Alphalipoic acid; for 2 weeks. At the end of the treatment phase, Morris water maze test was conducted to estimate the spatial memory function before the animals were euthanized and the Prefrontal cortex (PFC) and Hippocampus tissues  evaluated. The behavioral studies showed that AlCl3 induces significant decline in spatial memory which was corroborated with  histological features of loss of neural density and necrosis of pyramidal cells. Co-exposure of Aluminum with Alpha-lipoic acid was associated with sparing of spatial memory with maintenance of brain structure. The findings from the present study confirms that the  structural and functional neurotoxicity of Aluminium can be ameliorated with the concomitant usage of Alpha-lipoic acid during the  Aluminum exposure.
Barriers to optimal use of continuous positive airway pressure machines in preterm babies with respiratory distress syndrome at a Tertiary Referral Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Authors: Arega Gashaw , Tadele Henok , Demtse Asrat
Published: August 2023

Background: Neonatal mortality is a significant contributor to under-five mortality in low-income countries like Ethiopia, carrying  neonatal mortality of 30 per 1000 live births. Preterm newborns with respiratory distress can be effectively managed with a Continuous  Positive Airway pressure machine. It is recommended as an essential lifesaving intervention by the World Health Organization. The study  aimed to assess barriers to the optimal use of continuous positive airway pressure machines in preterm babies by Pediatrics residents at  a tertiary referral hospital.

Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out among pediatric residents at Tikur Anbessa  Specialized Hospital from September to October 2021. The data were collected through a self-administered structured questionnaire and  analyzed using SPSS version 25. A Pvalue <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: One hundred twelve pediatrics residents  were included; 41(36.6%) were females and 89 (79.5 %) were aged between 25-30 years and 106 (94.6%) had NICU experience of less than  one year. Forty-one (36.6%) had a moderate level of practicing continuous positive airway pressure safety checklists. There was a  statistically significant difference in the practice of CPAP safety checklist usage with the year of residency (P= 0.001). A majority, 90  (80.4%), of `pediatrics residents used locally-made improvised water bottle systems as bubble continuous positive airway pressure  machines. The perceived barriers to continuous positive airway pressure machine use included lack of commercial bubble machine, 77  (85.5%), unavailability of oxygen, and lack of appropriately sized nasal prongs.

Conclusion: Lack of commercial continuous positive airway  pressure machines and essential equipment were the reported barriers. Tackling the perceived barriers would contribute to the  national effort to decrease neonatal mortality and achieve Sustained Development-3

Tradition And Its Acceptability
Authors: Biar Zechariah Manyok
Published: August 2023

Anglican Communion appears increasingly vulnerable to changing schools of thought and traditions. Schools of thought and traditions introduce cultures that suit their philosophies. Now cultures that keep changing have elements that go against biblical teachings. This has caused disagreement among provinces that consider themselves orthodox and the ones that see themselves as liberals. This article explores the question of how the limits of an acceptable tradition are to be determined and who determines them. It aims at contributing to the academic debate introduced by Samuel, Sugden, and Eddy in an article entitled: “Kigali trumpet’s uncertain sound.” They recommend a council that should convene and work on the solution to the impending separation in the Communion. The literature in this article shows that cultures that come from different schools of thought and traditions have strong influences on different provinces in the Communion. This will make it difficult for a council to narrow the gap of disagreement among provinces. The starting point should be an academic debate that will define what the unifying culture of the Communion shall be in today’s Church.

Authors: Banson A. , Ajeighe S. O. , Ajayi M. A.
Published: August 2023

Sorghum is an important crop in Africa including Nigeria, Mali and Niger. Fungi contaminate grains including sorghum with fungal poisonous secondary metabolites called mycotoxins. The objectives of this study are the isolation of fungi associated with sorghum in storage and assay for the presence of mycotoxins in stored sorghum. Data obtained showed that stored sorghum used in this study contains Rhizopus stolonifer, Aspergilus oryzae, Aspergilus flavus, Aspergilus niger, Aspergilus solani, Aspergilus terreus and Fusarium  oxysposum. Rhizopus stolonifer and Fusarium oxysporum produced zearalenone while Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus solani and Aspergillus tereus produced aflatoxins B1. Fumanisin B1 and aflatoxinB1 were produced by Aspergillus flavus. Alium sativum and Zingiber officinale exhibited antifungal activity against the test fungi. This research work will provide a long term economic impact in reducing mycotoxicoses which are acute and chronic toxic diseases caused by mycotoxins. The findings will also serve the purpose of alerting consumers on the dangers of consuming poorly stored sorghum.

Published: August 2023

The concentration of aluminum in two brands of dry tea leaves and health risk assessment associated with its consumption was determined using standard methods. The dry tea leaves was Purchased from livinchu supermarket along Adageorge road in the heart of Port Harcourt metropolis, Rivers State, Nigeria, and brought to the laboratory of School of Pharmaceutical Technology, Department of Pharmacy Technician. The leaves were removed from their pouches and transferred into sample bottles, followed by acid digestion and an aspiration of an aliquot of the digested solution into an Agilent 42100 MP-AES machine to determine the residual aluminum content of the various teas, which was subsequently used to estimate the health risk associated with its consumption. Results showed that all the teas studied contained aluminum at varied concentrations with green tea containing moringa and strong black tea for men having values above 1000mg/kg while the rest had values less than 1000mg/kg. The result has clearly shown that green tea with moringa and black strong tea for men are hyperaccumulators of aluminum from soils than others, which can used for hytoremediation of aluminum contaminated soil. It also suggests that consumption of dry tea leaves is a major source of dietary exposed to aluminum in humans. Health risks assessment indicators depicted that all ADIs and HQs were less than unity (ADD < 1 and HRI or HQ < 1), and implies that there is no possibility of contracting non-cancerous disease that would have caused undue health issues of public health interest via consumption.

Land is the platform upon which every activity of man takes place. Especially in urban areas, man’s activities are many and they struggle for the limited available space. To curtail the rate of chaos and ensure compatibility among the various uses that land is put to, the activation of control mechanism becomes necessary. This study was undertaken to identify the various issues that come with development control in urban areas using Uyo Capital City as a case study. Data for the study were obtained from the staff of Uyo Capital City Development Authority and some identified property developers. Findings revealed the major problems of the area as: flood, erosion menace and poor solid waste management. The study highlighted the benefits of development control to include orderliness, safety, beauty and convenience. From the study also, Zoning Regulation has been found out to be the major tool used in controlling physical development in the study area. Other tools used include building code, subdivision and Environmental Impact Assessment. Major challenges faced by Uyo Capital City Development Authority in its task of controlling and managing the area are; noncompliance by property developers with building regulations, corruption and lack of effective monitoring mechanism. The study recommends that developers should always obtain approval for every building project, that charges for approval should be brought to the barest minimum and that there should be effective monitoring mechanism in place to enforce compliance with the laws.

Background- Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among women in developing countries despite the  availability of screening tests that could detect pre-cancerous conditions. The aim was to assess the respondents' level of knowledge and  attitude towards cervical cancer screening as well as to identify factors predictive of screening uptake.

Methodology- A cross-sectional survey of 150 female staff of Osun State University, South Western Nigeria selected across campuses by  multi-stage sampling. Data was collected with the aid of semistructured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive and inferential  statistics.

Results- The mean age for the respondents was 34.7 (±8.32) years. Majority (80%) of the respondents were aware of cancer of the cervix  but only 40% had good knowledge of the disease. About 77.5% of the respondents had a good attitude towards its screening. Only 21 (%)  had ever done cervical cancer screening. Factors associated with cervical cancer screening uptake include age, income, level of education,  staff category, respondents' belief on general availability of cervical screening, attitude, having known a person with cervical  cancer, having had information through counseling on cervical cancer as well as respondents' knowledge of cervical cancer. The latter  two are predictive of screening uptake. Respondents with good knowledge were about four times likely to have had cervical cancer  screening compared with respondents with poor knowledge.

Conclusion- Majority of the respondents had poor knowledge of cervical  cancer but good attitude towards its screening. Identifiable determinants of cervical cancer screening uptake were knowledgebased, thus continuous enlightenment of women of all age-groups becomes imperative.

Combined Effects of Sanitizers and UV-C Light on Listeria monocytogenes Biofilm Growth and Survivability on Produce-Harvesting Materials Used in the Tree Fruit Production Industry
Authors:   Kansas State University, Trinetta Valentina
Published: August 2023

Listeria monocytogenes is an aggressive biofilm former that can establish and persist in food processing environments. Commonly associated with ready-to-eat and dairy products, this pathogenic bacterium has recently been increasingly linked to fresh produce outbreaks. Equipment used during harvesting and handling of produce can provide a niche environment for biofilm growth and persistence. Based on a survey conducted among stakeholders in the tree fruit production industry, three favored materials for storing and harvesting produce were identified: nylon, wood, and plastic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the application of the generally recognized as safe sanitizers lactic acid, thymol, and silver citric acid (SDC) and UV-C light alone or in combination for 2 or 5 min on different food-contact surfaces used during tree fruit harvesting and storing. Multistrain L. monocytogenes biofilms were grown in a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention biofilm reactor for 96 h on wood, nylon, and polycarbonate coupons at 20 ± 2°C. After each treatment, coupons were neutralized and the remaining cells were enumerated. Results showed that the most effective treatment was the simultaneous use of UV-C light and SDC (4-log reduction) and that the least effective treatment was UV-C light alone (P < 0.05). The type of material was found to play a significant role in the efficacy of the sanitizers (P < 0.05). This study demonstrates the ability of L. monocytogenes to grow and form biofilms on different surfaces and contributes to an understanding of the response of this food safety threat against antimicrobial intervention strategies.
Competing visions of ‘the people’ in Australia: First Nations and the state
Authors: Arcioni Elisa
Published: August 2023

In 2020 the Australian High Court decided the case of Love v. Commonwealth; Thoms v. Commonwealth, a claim of constitutional belonging by two Aboriginal men. The Court was fractured in its reasoning and conclusion, a majority deciding that ‘Aboriginal Australians’ cannot be aliens. The case sits within a longer and ongoing story regarding the interaction between First Nations peoples and the Australian settler colonial state. The reasoning of the Love/Thoms case reveals two contrasting visions of the constitutional identity of ‘the people’ – one being a plural and diverse conception potentially capable of accommodating a distinct identity of First Nations peoples, the other being a unified conception dominated by formal equality and democratic participation.

A study of the Love/Thoms case in its context also speaks to broader questions of constitutional identity. First, that constitutional identity is constructed through the interaction of multiple actors. It is through an ongoing dialogic between constitutional actors that constitutional identity evolves over time. Second, that there is a relationship between the identity of ‘the people’ and of their Constitution. A study of the construction of the constitutional identity of ‘the people’ in this case reveals principal characteristics of the Australian state’s constitutionalism: going to institutional and substantive questions regarding the respective roles of the people and the Courts, equality and sovereignty.
Tanzimat’tan Cumhuriyet’e Kadar Türk Karikatüründe Felsefe
Authors: ALTINÖRS S. Atakan
Published: August 2023

Talia Kundakçı tarafından kaleme alınmış olan kitap Tanzimat’tan Cumhuriyet’e kadar Türk karikatür tarihinde “özgürlük”, “adalet”, “akılcılık”, “laisizm”, “demokrasi”, “modernizm”, “Batılılaşma” gibi kavramlar ekseninde felsefî düşüncenin dışa vurumunu inceliyor. Kundakçı, 1839’da Tanzimat Fermanı’nın ilânını takiben Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda başlayan Batılılaşma sürecinin bir ürünü olarak ilk Türk karikatürünün 1867’de İstanbul isimli gazetede yayımlandığını kaydediyor. Müteakiben, ilk Türk mizah dergisi Terakki’nin ve peşinden de ikinci mizah dergisi Diyojen’in yayın hayatına başlamasıyla Türk karikatürünün gelişim sürecine girdiğine dikkat çekiyor. İslâmiyet’in, insan suretini kopyalayarak resmetmeyi pek makbul bulmadığı yönündeki bir inanıştan dolayı pek gelişmeyen resim sanatı karşısında yazar, karikatürün bir “fırsat” yarattığını tespit ediyor. Tanzimat döneminde özellikle Karagöz-Hacivat tiplemelerinin karikatürlerde sık sık boy göstermesi olgusunu, toplumda aşina olunan geleneksel unsurların sağladığı kolaylıkla ilişkilendiriyor. Kundakçı, Millî Mücadele boyunca karikatürün artık sadece mizahtan ibaret olmadığı, yergi ya da grotesk üslubunu kullanan bir “savaşçı” rolü üstlendiği değerlendirmesinde bulunuyor. Sonuç olarak yazar Tanzimat’tan Cumhuriyet’e kadar Türk basınındaki karikatürlerin mizahî işlevinin ötesinde son derece ciddî bir işlev yerine getirdiğini savunuyor.

Masa pandemi covid-19 saat ini proses belajar mengajar sangat terganggu dikarenakan taruna dipaksa harus melakukan pembelajaran secara online, hal ini dapat mengurangi pemahaman mahasiswa terlebih pada sekolah tinggi kedinasan taruna biasanya memiliki jam praktik lebih tinggi dibandingkan jam teori karena taruna lebih banyak menghabiskan waktu dilaboratorium. Pada era pandemi saat ini taruna melaksanakan pembelajaran jarak jauh (daring) dimana taruna sangat sulit memahami penjelasan dari dosen dikarenakan kurangnya jam praktik di laboratorium. Terlebih pada taruna yang baru masuk langsung melaksanakan pembelajaran jarak jauh dan belum pernah melaksanakan praktik sama sekali yang mengakibatkan kurangnya pemahaman materi pembelajaran pada taruna pada saat pembelajaran jarak jauh. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dampak pembelajaran jarak jauh bagi kehidupan taruna disekolah kedinasan yang seharusnya memiliki lebih banyak waktu dalam praktik di laboratorium namun dilakukan pembelajaran jarak jauh. Data dikumpulkan dengan wawancara melalui zoom cloud meeting dan mengisi google form. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 80% taruna kurang menguasai materi pembelajaran secara daring hal ini dikarenakan kurangnya materi pembelajaran yang seharusnya kebanyakan dilakukan secara praktik langsung di laboratorium

To meet the needs of small or large scale electricity supply, the use of electrical energy generally uses 1 phase electricity and 3 phase electricity which is used to operate electrical equipment. To be able to find out the voltage, current, and electrical power of the low-voltage distribution network, manual checks are carried out on each R, S, T phase which is on the low-voltage distribution panel. When a 3-phase power failure occurs, it is often difficult to identify which phase is failingSo that in this case it is considered less efficient, for this research is expected to overcome the problems that have been identified. So a tool is made that can monitor failures in the R, S, and T phases which functions as safety when a failure occurs and can display a notification in which phase a failure occurs.In this study, the PZEM-004T sensor, Wemos D1 mini-module, and Android Studio are used which can allow for remote monitoring using electronic devices that have installed applications that have been created. when an error occurs, the "reset" button on the monitoring application is used to reset the protection to restore the device.

Introduction. Idiopathic generalized epilepsies account for approximately 15-20% of individuals with epilepsy. However, there is no consensus on how to cancel anticonvulsant therapy in patients with these epileptic syndromes after achieving remission, and what can be considered as risk factors for relapse of seizures.
Purpose: identification of predictors of seizure recurrence after discontinuation of anticonvulsant therapy in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
Materials and methods. Retrospective analysis of seizure recurrence after discontinuation of anticonvulsant therapy in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy. The analysis included two hundred thirty eight patients with genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE), of which 209 (88%) patients were with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) and 29 (12%) patients with GGE. 143 (68%) patients with IGE achieved remission. An attempt to cancel anticonvulsant was made in 78 (54%) patients.
Results. Seizure recurrence was observed in 57 (73%) patients. 90% of seizure relapses occurred in the first 5 years after discontinuation of therapy, half of the relapses occurred in the first year. In group of patients with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE), therapy was discontinued in 6 patients, relapse — 0. 8/14 (57,1%) patients with juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE) had relapse after therapy discontinuation. The relapse in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) was 23/25 (92%) and in group of patients with isolated generalized tonic-clinic seizure (IGTCS) was in 26/33 (78,8%).
Conclusion. Among the epileptic syndromes included in the group of idiopathic generalized epilepsies, CAE has the most favourable prognosis after discontinuation of anticonvulsant therapy, and JME has the least, with a recurrence risk of more than 90%.
Pedagogas cimarronas en Bogotá: mujeres afrocolombianas construyendo re-existencias, esperanza y memorias por un Vivir Sabroso
Authors: Corpas Figueroa Jessica Nathalie
Published: August 2023

Este artículo presenta algunas reflexiones que provienen de la tesis doctoral sobre experiencias de participación política de mujeres negras/afrocolombianas sobrevivientes del conflicto armado, quienes hacen parte de procesos organizativos en Bogotá entre 2010 a 2017 y se centra en las memorias de las mujeres, en aquellas relacionadas con la vida en territorios afrodescendientes y con la identidad afrocolombiana. La estrategia metodológica es de tipo cualitativa con un ejercicio permanente de reflexividad fundamentada en la recuperación de epistemologías afrodescendientes, latinoamericanas y caribeñas, feministas y decoloniales, como asunto determinante en el acercamiento, abordaje y construcción de reflexiones en cuanto a las experiencias de participación política de las mujeres. Se afirma que las mujeres negras/afrocolombianas son Pedagogas Cimarronas, y que posibilitan con sus prácticas re-existencias para la población afrocolombiana a través de la musicalidad desde la composición e interpretación, la danza, la gastronomía, la estética del cabello afro, así como prácticas político-afectivas. A su vez estas pedagogías cimarronas, son el núcleo que impulsó el devenir de las mujeres como sujetos políticos en la ciudad. Son también claves de creatividad, esperanza y acercan a las poblaciones afrocolombianas en Bogotá a un Vivir Sabroso.

To carry out construction on soft soil, cases of land subsidence are often encountered. This is due to the low bearing capacity and small shear force, large compression, and very small permeability. To address this problem, one method that can be implemented is soil improvement using preloading and Prefabricated Vertical Drain (PVD). The aim of this research is to find out the magnitude of consolidation settlement by using analytical methods and by using PLAXIS 2D modeling at reclamation project locations besides CPO tanks between Belawan Islands based on Bore Log BH-02 data. It is also to compare coarse mesh, medium mesh, and fine mesh in PLAXIS 2D modeling, and to obtain the amount of land subsidence using preloading only and preloading with a combination of preloading and Prefabricated Vertical Drain (PVD) based on Bore Log BH-02 points. From the analytical results obtained a decrease of 1.254 meters. While the PLAXIS 2D modeling uses a medium mesh that has been combined with a PVD of 1.268 meters. This means that the results of the settlement by modeling using PLAXIS 2D are closer to the SP-02 settlement plate data of 1.270 meters. The settlement uses PLAXIS 2D with a coarse mesh of 1,266 meters and a fine mesh of 1,282 meters. While modeling using preloading only obtained a decrease of 0.340 meters. It can be concluded that the results of modeling using PLAXIS 2D in using medium mesh that has been combined with PVD are relatively closer to settlement data in the field with a percentage difference of 0.142% settlement plate SP-02 settlement.
