Published: December 2023

Objective: This study was carried out to determine the perception and vaccine-related concerns of People Living with HIV towards the COVID-19 vaccine.
Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive research design was adopted. A computer-generated randomization scheme was used to select 236 participants who attended HIV support group meetings. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Frequency and percentages were adopted to categorize the data collected.
Results: The study revealed that the majority of the respondents believe that getting the COVID-19 vaccine will protect themselves, their families, or their patients (87.3%) and that it will help prevent the transmission of the disease (83.9%). There is also a large percentage of respondents who believe that the vaccine is effective (77.1%) and safe (82.6%) and that it confers long-term immunity (75.4%). These results suggest that the majority of respondents have a good perception towards the COVID-19 vaccine.
Conclusion: COVID-19 vaccination of PLWHV is important because of their already immunocompromised state. Since perception and misconceptions are known to affect vaccine coverage, it is therefore recommended that vaccine education and more awareness to clarify misconceptions and misinformation as regards vaccine development be addressed.

Published: December 2023

Objective: Child immunization completion remains worrisome in Sub-Saharan Africa. Immunization completion is affected by individual and non-individual factors, although, the non-individual factors have not been well studied and documented in Nigeria. The study examined the non-individual factors influencing mothers’ intention to complete immunization of children 0-2 years in Nigeria.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among mothers of children 0-2 years registered in three selected Primary Health Centres in a district of Lagos State who completed a self/interviewer-administered Socio-ecological model-based questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics at a 5% level of significance were performed.
Results: Mean age of respondents was 32.68 ± 7.19 years. The mean level of interpersonal factors was (1.18 ± 0.39) and therefore low. Environmental and policy factors were also low with mean scores of (1.09±0.28) and (1.06±0.24) respectively. All mothers (100%) had the intention to complete immunization. There was no significant relationship between interpersonal factors (r(421) = 0.089, p = 0.067) and environmental factors (r(421) = 0.057, p=0.242) and the mother’s intention to complete child immunization, but, there was a significant relationship between policy factor (r(421) = 0.100,  p=0.039) and mother’s intention to complete child immunization.
Conclusion: Continuous encouragement of mothers through policy-level mechanisms should continue, to aid the completion of childhood vaccination for the maintenance of health and welfare of both the mother and the child (ren).
Genetic polymorphism and the link to stress-induced metabolic dysfunction
Authors: Mofolorunso Adekunle , Awobajo Funmileyi , Okwute Patrick
Published: December 2023

Background: The impact of stress on health is well-established and it continues to influence modern life. While some individuals may manage stress well, others may experience detrimental impacts on their physical and emotional health. As stress has been related to several illnesses, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and more, there is growing concern about stress-induced metabolic dysfunction.
Main body: Here we review recent literature, elucidating the role of genetic polymorphisms in modulating an individual's reactivity to stress and susceptibility to stress-related metabolic disorders. This article discusses the genetic components, in particular the polymorphisms, that may predispose individuals toward metabolic dysregulation brought on by stress. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence differences that affect more than 1% of the population are known as genetic polymorphisms. Changes from genetic polymorphisms result in different gene expression, protein function, and other outcomes. Genetic polymorphisms in key stress-regulating genes can influence an individual's susceptibility to metabolic disturbances in response to chronic stress.
Conclusion: The hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and related molecular pathways play a pivotal role in mediating the effects of stress on metabolism. Understanding the genetic basis of stress-induced metabolic dysfunction has implications for personalized medicine and preventive strategies. By identifying individuals with genetic susceptibility to metabolic disturbances, targeted interventions can be designed to mitigate the adverse effects of stress on metabolic health. Furthermore, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and tailored dietary interventions may be employed to promote overall well-being and prevent stress-induced metabolic disorders.

Published: December 2023

Background: Granulosa cell tumors (GCT) of the ovary are extremely infrequent tumors accounting for about 3% of the entire ovarian malignancies with a very high rate of recurrence. Due to its ability to secrete estrogen unopposed, it can give rise to endometrial cancer thus leading to the coexistence of the two tumors on rare occasions.
Case presentation: We present here, the case of a 58-year-old post-menopausal Nigerian woman with GCT coexisting with endometrial carcinoma. She presented with abdominal pain, weakness, and post-menopausal vaginal bleeding. Examination revealed an irregular 30-week size abdominopelvic mass while an abdominopelvic ultrasonography showed a right ovarian mass and multiple uterine fibroids. However, the diagnosis of GCT coexisting with endometrial carcinoma was histologically confirmed. She has been clinically stable for ten months post-surgical intervention and completion of adjuvant chemotherapy (Cisplatin [75mg/m2] and Docetaxel [75mg/m2]).
Conclusion: Although rare, GCT can exist synchronously with endometrial carcinoma. This should form an important differential diagnosis in a post-menopausal woman with bleeding par vaginum as this is its most important clinical presentation. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy should be done in older patients with GCT. Additionally, adjuvant chemotherapy may be of tremendous benefit to diagnosed patients.

Published: December 2023

Background: The purpose of the study was to explore patient preferences in diabetes care by analyzing network visualization, overlay visualization, and density visualization.
Main body: The study used bibliometric analysis for assessing related topics and patient preferences in diabetes care based on the repetition terms received. The data sources were based on online searches via https://app.dimensions.ai/ collected on August 22, 2023. The literature search was restricted to publications years 2015-2023, focused on the fields of Health sciences, biomedical and clinical science, nursing, public health, psychology, human society, nutrition and diabetes. Data were analysed using VOSviewer, The type of analysis is selected to create a map based on text data, further reviewed by co-occurrence and co-authors.
From the network visualization, it was identified that there were 172 terminology items which were divided into 8 clusters with 6247 links with a strength of 34258. From each cluster, patient preferences among patients with diabetes were identified. Through overlay visualization analysis, it identified that a new topic being researched by scholars in various countries was racism toward patients with diabetes. Furthermore, in density visualization, a topic that few researchers have explored related to fulfilling patient preferences in diabetes care by maximizing telemedicine technology.
Conclusion: Patient preferences in diabetes care are necessary. If patient preferences are considered, patients will feel involved in every decision-making as a result, they will be more responsible for the behaviour changes they have to make in diabetes care.

Published: December 2023

Recurrent Kikuchi Fujimoto Disease (KFD) with neurological manifestations is a rare entity. It usually presents with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. Diagnosis is based on clinical grounds and typical histological findings of lymph node biopsy. Mostly KFD is self-limiting. Treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or steroids may be needed in severe recurrent disease.We report a case of recurrent KFD in a 28-year-old male presenting with aseptic meningitis who has a family history of KFD.
Cerebellar stroke in a young female associated with elevated homocysteine levels and heterozygous MTHFR C677T gene:  A case report.
Authors: Nawarathne Piyumali , Karunaratne Wasantha , Weerawansa Prasanna , Senanayake Hemal
Published: December 2023

Homocysteine is an amino acid, which is an intermediate in the metabolism of methionine and cysteine. Elevated homocysteine levels are recognized as a cause for both arterial and venous thrombotic phenomena. Methylenetetrahydrofolatereductase -encoded by MTHFR gene- is the rate-limiting enzyme of the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Homozygous MTHFR T677T gene mutation can independently cause raised homocysteine levels and increase the risk of thrombosis whereas heterozygous MTHFR C677T gene mutation usually does with an acquired cause such as folate or vitamin B12 deficiency, and is with lesser risk for thrombosis. We report a case of a previously healthy 23-year-old female, who was excluded from other inherited and acquired thrombophilic conditions, but was found to be having heterozygous MTHFR C677T gene mutation and elevated level of homocysteine presented late with right cerebellar stroke. Therefore, when young patients present with thrombotic phenomena, homocysteine levels should be assessed in the absence of other common thrombophilic conditions.

Authors: Goonesinghe Vinuri , Gunatileka Sarath
Published: December 2023

There has been an epidemic of Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Etiology (CKDu) affecting the agricultural communities in Sri Lanka, spanning three decades. The main pathological finding has been chronic interstitial nephritis. This narrative review focuses on the efficacy of Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology in purifying water and its impact in reducing CKDu. PubMed, Cochrane and Google Scholar were used to search for peer-reviewed articles from 2000 to 2023. The themes that emerged from the literature review were validated through the opinions of key informants and subject matter experts.There were anecdotal, as well as some research evidence to indicate that RO-treated water is efficacious in preventing and slowing down the progression of CKDu. This relationship needs further investigation with well-designed prospective studies. The literature review also revealed many social, technical and environmental issues related to the use of RO machines. Despite the potential benefits of RO machines, these issues must be resolved in order to prevent serious problems in the future.In conclusion, this review underscores the need for further research, interventions and regulatory measures related to the use of RO machines to reshape the CKDu trajectory in Sri Lanka.

DQRA-MIMO Protocol Design for Massive M2M Communications in Intelligent Aircraft
Authors: Ye Fayong , Fang Chunyan , Huang Yi , Zuo Dingyi , Zhang Dongfang , Feng Xiangxi
Published: December 2023

The traditional centralized random access (RA) and data transmission (DT) protocol used to transmit small-sized packets suffers from high signaling overhead and low channel utilization. To cope with that, this paper proposes a novel distributed queuing random access and data transmission protocol based on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology for intelligent aircraft scenarios. In the RA phase, the collided, successful, and idle states are redefined according to the degree of freedom (DOF) in MIMO to utilize the RA channel effectively. In the DT phase, the optimal number of simultaneously transmitted M2M devices in the data queue is derived by the number of base station’s antennas to enhance throughput and reduce signaling. Results reveal that the proposed protocol can not only improve the efficiency of RA but also increase the throughput and reduce the delay of DT with the aid of DoF in MIMO while reducing the signaling overhead.

Engine
Authors: Chen Wei , Yang Xu , Yu Shiwu , Liu Xu , He Weibiao , Zuo Qingsong
Published: December 2023

At present, the problem of global warming is becoming more and more serious, and
the transformation of energy structure is very important. The rotary engine has
the advantages of small size, high power-to-weight ratio, and high fuel
adaptability, which makes it promising for application in the fields of new
energy vehicle range extender and unmanned aerial vehicle. To this end, this
paper proposes the idea of hydrogen/ammonia dual-fuel combination applied to
rotary engine, using the experimentally verified three-dimensional simulation
model of rotary engine, to study the process of hydrogen/ammonia rotary engine
in-cylinder mixture formation under the direct-injection dilute combustion mode,
and to analyze the impact of different dual-fuel injection strategies on the
performance of rotary engine, and finds that delaying the moment of injection
leads to the ammonia concentration in the middle and front of the combustion
chamber; when the ammonia nozzle is located in the intake port, the effect of
different ammonia injection moments on the hydrogen distribution is not
significant, and the hydrogen distribution is basically the same, mainly in the
middle and front part of the combustion chamber, and the ammonia is uniformly
distributed in the combustion chamber; when the ammonia nozzle is located in the
upper part of the cylinder block, with the delay of the ammonia injection
moments, the distribution of hydrogen in the rear part of the combustion chamber
is increased; when the ammonia nozzle is located in the lower part of the
cylinder block, the effect of the ammonia injection on the distribution of
hydrogen is not significant. In this paper, the in-cylinder flow process of
hydrogen/ammonia fuel rotary engine is investigated, and the results can provide
theoretical guidance and reference significance for the in-cylinder flow of
hydrogen/ammonia fuel rotary engine.

Clutch Control Strategy under Hybrid Continuously Variable Transmission Vehicle Mode Switching
Authors: Liu WenChang , Fu Bing , Liu Jingang , Zhao Youhong , Xiong Jipeng
Published: December 2023

The switching and coupling of the power source during mode switching of hybrid continuously variable transmission (CVT) vehicles lead to interruptions and sudden changes in power system output torque, which is a key factor affecting driving comfort. To address this issue, the following steps were taken: Firstly, based on the logical threshold energy management strategy, the conditions for mode switching in hybrid CVT vehicles were analyzed. Next, a dynamic model of the clutch engagement process was established, and a double fuzzy PID control strategy for engine speed and clutch pressure was formulated. Then, a dynamic coordination control strategy, combining “engine speed and clutch pressure double fuzzy PID control” with coordinated control of motor torque, was proposed. Finally, the proposed control strategy was simulated and verified. The aim of this approach is to mitigate interruptions and sudden changes in power system output torque during mode switching, thereby improving driving comfort in hybrid CVT vehicles.
GRC-Net: Fusing GAT-Based 4D Radar and Camera for 3D Object
Detection
Authors: Fan Lili , Zeng Changxian , Li Yunjie , Wang Xu , Cao Dongpu
Published: December 2023

The fusion of multi-modal perception in autonomous driving plays a pivotal role
in vehicle behavior decision-making. However, much of the previous research has
predominantly focused on the fusion of Lidar and cameras. Although Lidar offers
an ample supply of point cloud data, its high cost and the substantial volume of
point cloud data can lead to computational delays. Consequently, investigating
perception fusion under the context of 4D millimeter-wave radar is of paramount
importance for cost reduction and enhanced safety. Nevertheless, 4D
millimeter-wave radar faces challenges including sparse point clouds, limited
information content, and a lack of fusion strategies. In this paper, we
introduce, for the first time, an approach that leverages Graph Neural Networks
to assist in expressing features from 4D millimeter-wave radar point clouds.
This approach effectively extracts unstructured point cloud features, addressing
the loss of object detection due to sparsity. Additionally, we propose the
Multi-Modal Fusion Module (MMFM), which aligns and fuses features from graphs,
radar pseudo-images generated from Pillars, and camera images within a geometric
space. We validate our model using the View-of-Delft (VoD) dataset. Experimental
results demonstrate that the proposed method efficiently fuses camera and 4D
radar features, resulting in enhanced 3D detection performance.

Published: December 2023

Aiming at the problem of weak communication, strong interference, cross-domain,
and large-scale environment, it is difficult to achieve efficient
decision-making and planning in the collaborative operation of intelligent
groups. Based on the SOM algorithm, this paper proposes a dual-selection
allocation and distributed vectorized trajectory planning. Form a collaborative
planning algorithm that can be updated with high frequency and a rational
decision-making mechanism. Provide technical support for collaborative search
and detection of intelligent groups. At the same time, based on the principle of
minimum consistency, this paper proposes a clock synchronization model under
spatial coordination and conducts simulation experiments to verify it. The
result proves the efficiency and practicability of the collaborative intelligent
decision-making plan proposed in this paper.
Machine Learning Based Flight State Prediction for Improving UAV
Resistance to Uncertainty
Authors: Mu Jianfeng , Fei Yuheng , Wang Fang , Zeng Xinyue
Published: December 2023

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) encounter various uncertainties, including
unfamiliar environments, signal delays, limited control precision, and other
disturbances during task execution. Such factors can significantly compromise
flight safety in complex scenarios. In this paper, to enhance the safety of UAVs
amidst these uncertainties, a control accuracy prediction model based on
ensemble learning abnormal state detection is designed. By analyzing the
historical state data, the trained model can be used to judge the current state
and obtain the command tracking control accuracy of the UAV at that instant.
Ensemble learning offers superior classification capabilities compared to weak
learners, particularly for anomaly detection in flight data. The learning
efficacy of support vector machine, random forest classifier is compared and
achieving a peak accuracy of 95% for the prediction results using random forest
combined with adaboost model . Subsequently, a trajectory planning method
leveraging the DWA(Dynamic Window approach) algorithm was designed to mitigate
the safety risks associated with uncertain control command tracking. By
employing the obtained model of nominal command execution results of UAVs
subjected to uncertainty, and by adjusting the original assessment criteria to a
probability-weighted comprehensive optimal metric, optimal control commands that
factor in uncertainty are derived. The simulation results affirm the
effectiveness of the designed method.

Published: December 2023

This paper aims at the exploring the issues of the legal regulation of alternative means for administrative disputes resolution in Ukraine in frames of European integration. The importance of alternative dispute resolution in the field of administrative legal relations has been emphasised by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in a number of its recommendations. Alternative means have been introduced in administrative procedure and administrative justice in some European countries, including Ukraine. However, the ADR mechanisms in administrative legal relations still are not widely used primarily because of the lack of the clear legal regulation. In this paper, the core problems related to the use of alternative means for dispute resolution in administrative procedure and administrative justice have been identified and recommendations on enhancement of legal regulation of certain instruments in Ukraine have been provided based on the European approaches and the best practices of the selected states – members of the Council of Europe.
Real Property Tax in Slovakia – Scoping Review
Authors: Vartašová Anna , Olexová Cecília , Štefanová Radka
Published: December 2023

Real property tax is a common type of tax applicable often as a local tax and a source of local revenues, which is also the case in the Slovak Republic. This topic is gaining importance in general due to the decreasing revenues of local budgets and the increasing financial requirements of municipalities to ensure services for the citizens. Even though there is a wide range of available scientific literature on the topic, it has not yet been systematically summarized to identify the thematic spectrums of interest to the scientific community and there are areas not yet covered by the research. This review aims to identify the state of knowledge (scientific literature) on the issue of real property tax in the Slovak Republic and the research gap. For this reason, the authors have included the broadest possible range of available scientific literature on the topic of Slovak real property tax searched through the most relevant international databases (Web of Science and Scopus) and a complex national database comprising the works of Slovak academia (CREPČ), even in its broader context of local taxation and local government. The results were acquired by use of the method of a scoping review. Our findings show an increasing trend in the number of publications and authors on the topic in the course of time and their comparable focus on the legal and economic aspects. We identified a high preference for general assessment and certain topics in particular (e.g. tax revenues, tax rates) together with a lower interest in very specific problems and more interdisciplinary issues, where we see the potential for further research.
Overview of the Church’s Property Law in the Czech Lands during the Middle Ages
Authors: Krafl Pavel
Published: December 2023

Aim of the study is to provide an overview of the issue of Church property law in Bohemia and Moravia during the Middle Ages. Specifically, we consider the territory of the Prague and Olomouc dioceses. The main founder of churches and ecclesiastical institutions in the early Middle Ages was the duke, while from the 12th century magnates also became involved in founding these institutions. In the early period of founders, the property donated to the Church was treated in the spirit of respecting the rights of the proprietary churches. The law of patronage, which was progressively implemented during the 13th century and first half of the 14th century, brought change. In order to exclude the assets of ecclesiastical institutions, including the serfs who lived there, from the general legal system, immunities were important. Bishoprics and individual monasteries received immunity documents from the mid-12th century, and to a greater extent from the early 13th century.
Procedural Approach to the Public Interest in Migration Control when Applying Article 8 of the ECHR
Authors: Edlund Jennie , Stehlík Václav
Published: December 2023

This research explores the European Court of Human Rights’ (ECtHR or the Court) application of Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) when engaging the public interest in migration control. The study research explains the current case law of the Court and examines when the public interest in migration control can be applied as a legitimate aim. The research is questioning whether the public interest in controlling migration can be used as a legitimate aim when an interference of the right to family life has been established and whether the public interest in migration control should be seen as a static factor. The research claims that the Court’s unclear way of distinguishing between positive and negative obligations and its lack of assessing the public interests when balancing the personal interests against the public interests in controlling migration makes the case law inconsistent and unclear. In order to make the case law more consistent the research suggests that the Court should use a procedural approach like in cases where the State’s interest in public safety is engaged.

Fraud Diamond Theory’s Perspectives of Principled Leadership in Organisational Transactional Relationships: Imaginary, Symbolic and Real Gifts
Authors: Mahlangu Vimbi Petrus
Published: December 2023

This article delves into the intricate world of gift-giving within the context of blesser-blessee relationships in South Africa, where affluent individuals provide financial support to their younger counterparts in return for favours, most often of a sexual kind. Examining the multifaceted nature of these transactions, the article explores the implications of such relationships on the emotional well-being, ethical considerations, and power dynamics of those involved. From imaginary and symbolic gifts to the controversial "envelope practices" we scrutinise the various dimensions of gift-giving in these relationships. Additionally, the article addresses the darker aspects of these dynamics, including issues of exploitation, vulnerability, and societal stigma. While recognizing the desire for intimacy among individuals, especially younger and less mature participants, the article emphasizes the importance of understanding the nuanced complexities of gift-giving within these relationships. The fraud diamond theory is explored as a foundation for the integration of practices like blesser-blessee behaviours within organisational activities, highlighting the role of social norms in shaping acceptable behavior. Ethical leadership is underscored as crucial for maintaining integrity within organisations, emphasising the importance of leaders in mediating uncertainty and promoting virtues such as humanity. Additionally, Lacan's theory is introduced, suggesting that communication is inherently flawed and that the unique context of the blesser-blessee phenomenon in South Africa may pose challenges for understanding. Ultimately, the article calls for a critical examination of the ethical implications and advocates for comprehensive education and support systems to navigate the challenges associated with intimacy, power imbalances, and financial transactions in such relationships.
“I Mainly Rely on the Textbook:” A Call for Teacher Enhancement in Agricultural Sciences
Authors: Baas Nkwenyana Solomon , Tsotetsi Cias Thapelo
Published: December 2023

Universities play a crucial role in teachers' professional development. This study aims to examine the following research question:  How can universities enhance the teaching of agricultural sciences in schools? Previous research has focused on the university’s collaboration with stakeholders, such as parents, to enhance teaching, but without a specific focus on the teaching of agricultural sciences. In response to this question, a transformative theoretical framework anchors this study. This study employed a participatory action research design involving focus group discussions to determine the need for improving the teaching of agricultural sciences. Eleven participants were involved in this research, and pseudonyms were used to ensure privacy and protect their identities. The study findings from the three schools in the Thabo Mofutsanyana District of the Free State Province, included in the study, revealed that there is an inability to meet curriculum requirements, accompanied by a reluctance to implement continuous professional teacher development.  The findings emphasize the need for extended university involvement in the implementation of teacher development policies to address the teachers’ needs.
Exploring Social Justice Issues That Inform the 21st-Century Curriculum in Higher Education: Lecturers’ Voices and Experiences
Authors: Mapuya Medson Phindani
Published: December 2023

Higher education systems across the globally have adopted policies to provide a curriculum which is underpinned by the fundamental values of equality, inclusivity, and diversity. However, owing to lack of transformation and the practical implementation of these policies, higher education is still significantly entrenched in Eurocentric epistemologies which expose students to a learning environment which does not represent their social identities. This has led to the intensification of discourses on decolonisation epistemologies. At the centre of these decolonisation epistemologies is their advocacy for the recognition of indigenous epistemologies and ontologies in the learning environment. Of importance to these discourses is social justice issues that influence the 21st-century curriculum. Guided by the Critical Theory of Education, this study explored social justice issues that inform the 21st-century curriculum from a lecturers’ perspective. Data was collected from thirty-two purposefully selected lecturers from all universities in South Africa using a questionnaire with a Likert scale. The findings demonstrate that academic imperialism, language equity, equality, inclusivity, and diversity are the major issues of social justice that influence the 21st-century curriculum.  To promote these social justice issues, this study advocates for radical transformation in language policies and pedagogical practices in higher education. The study further calls for the practical dismantling of the current dispensation in higher education which perpetuates social injustice and inequality. Educational policies need to respond purposefully to calls to decolonise the 21st-century curriculum holistically and create an education system which works for every student on these social justice issues.

Dalam dunia penerbangan ada sebuah istilah yang dijunjung tinggi yaitu “Zero Error” dimana kesalahan kecil pun tidak diperbolehkan. Salah satu faktor keselamatan dalam penerbangan yaitu kondisi kekesatan dari suatu landas pacu. Semakin banyak pesawat yang beroperasi, maka semakin banyak juga lapisan karet (rubber deposit) pada landas pacu. Hal ini mengakibatkan landas pacu menjadi licin sehingga pesawat dapat tergelincir karena rem tidak dapat bekerja dengan efektif. Untuk menghindari resiko kecelakaan yang terjadi, pengecekan kekesatan landas pacu secara berkala perlu dilakukan. Terdapat beberapa metode yang dapat dilakukan untuk melakukan pengecekan kondisi kekesatan runway, dalam jurnal ini akan dibahas menggunakan alat skiddometer.
