The social protection of children in the activities of the government organizations in east of Ukraine
Authors: Ihnatenko Kateryna
Published: January 2022

Summary The article examines the organization of local governments in the system of social protection of children in communities. The biggest challenge for the authorities, during an armed conflict is to create a safe environment for children and for those families who have lives in situation and need social assistance. As the analysis of theoretical and practical material and legislation shows, the support of international standards for child protection by the government contributes to reforms in Ukraine, which leads to the search for additional resources in communities and beyond. The author defines the concept of «social protection» as a set of statutory guarantees and actions by public authorities aimed at equalizing the situation of citizens regardless of age with other members of society in cases of social, political and other risks. A brief description of the legal framework, which determines the need for social protection of children, as well as a list of government agencies responsible for identifying a child in need of social protection. The author characterizes the groups of risk factors to which children are exposed in a peaceful life, and which are exacerbated in extreme situations. The protection of children in the study is presented in the form of circles that create a protective environment and which are violated or become fragmentary in emergencies. Necessary conditions for the social protection are the establishment and development of interaction and partnership between local governments, the executive branch, socio-pedagogical institutions and public organizations; creation of a system of social services in the territorial community, including for the protection of children. This is especially true in the context of the ongoing the military conflict in Eastern Ukraine, when threats increase tenfold and resources, unfortunately, are limited.
Inclusive communication as a tool for the formation of inclusive culture: terminological analysis
Authors: Leshchuk Halyna
Published: January 2022

The article focuses on the need to expand and clarify the inclusive glossary. The concepts of «inclusion», «inclusive communication», «inclusive culture» are characterized on the basis of the analysis of the basic normative documents (Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, The Salamanca statement and framework for action on special needs education). The correlation between inclusive communication and inclusive culture is substantiated. It is emphasized that it is by means of inclusive communication that an inclusive culture is formed. The main approaches to the interpretation of inclusive communication are outlined. The goals and objectives of inclusive communication, its features are analyzed. It is noted that inclusive communication is first of all effective communication, which is human-centered, based on respect, recognition of the value of each person and allows everyone to contribute to the development of society, to feel part of it; іnclusive communication expands the population's access to various services (social, educational, medical, etc.), helps people in communities to lead an autonomous lifestyle, helps government agencies to avoid discrimination. The basic principles of inclusive communication are highlighted (equal importance of information and physical accessibility of various services for people in need of communication support; variety of types of communication support that requires a differentiated and individual approach; two-way communication process; flexible communication; еhe effectiveness of inclusive communication depends on reaching as many people as possible with different communication support needs; the best result is provided by gradual rather than radical changes). Emphasis is placed on the fact that non-inclusive communication can cause a number of negative manifestations, causing people to feel discriminated against, prejudiced, socially excluded, anomalous, marginalized, alienated, unnecessary, condemned, restricted in their rights and opportunities.
Government Recruitment Programme for Unemployed Graduates and Issues: Lack of professional vision, mismatch of skills, and unsatisfied job roles
Authors: Nanthagopan Yogarajah , Vivek Ramakrishnan
Published: January 2022

In recent years, following the conclusion of the presidential elections in Sri Lanka, the government has launched an electoral pledge to employ more than 50,000 graduates who had been promised jobs. However, while the effort is laudable, it has run into many problems on the part of graduates, as a result of poor governance decision-making in the public sector, particularly among policymakers. Concerning the graduate government appointment process, graduates are first assigned to the divisional secretariat offices and then recruited to fill government positions. The positions that have been offered are not consistent with the credential level of the applicants, and the positions have been offered without a proper job interview or conversation with the candidate. Therefore, these graduate government positions raise several practical concerns related to the graduate perspective. The sample for the study consists of 20 graduates who have received new government jobs in Sri Lanka. The study adopted the qualitative methods: text analysis, summary and topic analysis, which allowed the researcher to obtain a more complete understanding of the responses. The study has helped raise the questions of graduates' perspectives; Lack of professional vision, skills mismatch, and unsatisfied job roles. Therefore, the study practically contributed to government policymakers adopting the appropriate system and strategies in the Government recruitment programme for unemployed graduates.

Disorders of intellectual development in children: approaches to diagnosis
Authors: Horishna Nadiia , Maichuk Oksana
Published: January 2022

Children with intellectual disabilities are one of the most difficult to include in the educational process of general secondary education institutions due to their difficulties in communication, behavior, sensorimotor functioning, orientation in the environment, social adaptation, and socialization. The use of modern diagnostic tools makes it possible not only to identify intellectual development disorders, determine the degree of their complexity, but also to obtain reliable information for planning educational, psychological, pedagogical and correctional development services. In order to determine modern approaches to the diagnosis of intellectual development disorders in children, theoretical methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization of information obtained from scientific sources, regulatory documents, analytical reports, etc. were used. The results of the analysis show that disorders of intellectual development are defined as inherited or acquired brain lesions that manifest themselves during development period, are persistent and lead to impaired intellectual functions and adaptive skills in the academic, social and practical spheres. They are combined with concomitant somatic and mental disorders, which requires a well-thought-out, individual and comprehensive diagnosis at different stages of life. Progressive approaches to the diagnosis of intellectual development disorders involve strengthening and expanding diagnostic criteria: increasing the IQ values that indicate its violation; focusing not on specific IQ values, but on indicators of its deviation from the average values for the corresponding population; determining not only IQ, but also adaptive skills of children in academic, social and practical spheres.
African Philosophy? Questioning the Unquestioned
Authors: Dladla Thabang
Published: January 2022

African philosophy, at least the modern modality of its practice, is said to have been initiated by the overwhelming question concerning its existence: Is there an African philosophy? No doubt such radical questioning concerning “knowledges” from Africa is determined by an overarching, indeed imperial, definition of what is understood to be “philosophy”; in other words, this question sought to determine whether those knowledges from Africa fit the category of what is known to be “philosophy” in the Western world. In this paper, I deal with the historical question pertaining to the existence of an African philosophy and the present reiterations of this question. I begin in the first section with an interrogation of such questioning concerning doubt about African philosophy’s existence: 1) to subvert the question and thereby undermine the basis of its questioning; 2) to examine the underlying structures of coloniality in Western philosophy and its colonising effects—showing how such a question is rooted in doubt, ignorance and power as functionaries of the European epistemological paradigm facilitating epistemological dominance; and 3) to use such questioning as a basis from which to develop an account of what African philosophy is.
Does Covid-19 Rupture Theodicy? Theo-philosophical Musings
Authors: Mkhwanazi Ezekiel
Published: January 2022

When Covid-19 first broke out in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, no one suspected it would go beyond an epidemic. Within less than three months it had become a worldwide pandemic. In the first 15 months since it broke out in Wuhan, the disease grew exponentially, manifesting itself in different variants: Alpha (UK); Beta (South Africa); Gamma (Japan and Brazil); and Delta (India). In August 2021, confirmed cases were 204 million people worldwide, with about 4 million people deceased. Although the mortality rate has halted in China and slightly abated in continental Europe, Canada, Asia and South America, due to medical and social intervention strategies, it is steadily climbing in the USA and Africa. The first vaccine was ready only 12 months after the pandemic broke out, making it one of the quickest manufactured vaccines. For those who operate within a theistic framework, an avalanche of existential questions surfaced: Is this the end of the world? If so, does God, the omnipotent, omniscient and loving Divine being, not care about what seems to be the decimation of human beings on Planet Earth? If the Divine being cares, has it lost its power perhaps? Or, if it is still powerful, has it lost its affectivity? This article gives a theo-philosophical exploration of these questions to make “sense” of what seems like God’s silence amid the loud noise of the Corona virus. The article asks whether God could be blamed in what may seem like silence, and argues on the meaning of God’s “silence.” It then constructs a theodicy that dispenses God of any wrongdoing in the current pandemic.
Leviathan, Rebuffing the Notion of Being Identified as a Natural Animal?
Authors: Dyssel Allan
Published: January 2022

Leviathan and other sea-monsters in the Hebrew Bible have caused great dissonance amongst biblical scholars. No consensus exists amongst them on how to translate the Hebrew words referring to these mythical monsters. Therefore, a tendency developed amongst exegetes to transfigure these mythical beasts into ordinary animals, to translate them in a vague and general way, or to interpret them as mere symbols. This article investigates ways in which the assumed existence of Leviathan is identified and denied. To gain a better understanding of the nature and function of Leviathan, similar creatures in the ancient Near East are highlighted with a focus on sea-monsters and dragons associated with the primeval sea. These findings propose not only a more distinct epitome of Leviathan, but also of other monsters associated with the primeval waters (Rahab, tanninim, behemoth, and dag gadol), as depicted in the Old Testament. These beasts, interpreted against the magico-mythical cosmology of the ancient Near East and the Old Testament, should be seen as mythical creatures assumed to be real by the ancient audience of the biblical text. In striving for fidelity and loyalty to both the text and the current reader, translations should reflect the foreignness of Leviathan and other monsters or dragons to the contemporary reader.
A Love Triangle Between God, Sophia, and the Righteous Interwoven in the Retelling of the Pentateuchal Stories in Wisdom 10
Authors: Geyser-Fouché Ananda B.
Published: January 2022

In the Wisdom of Solomon, with special reference to chapters 6 to 10, wisdom is personified as a woman. This image is quite often found, especially in the wisdom literature. In the Wisdom of Solomon, Sophia is portrayed as a person who can speak, act, and feel, but most of all someone who can be loved and desired. She is portrayed as someone that is loved alternately by God and by the righteous. In Wisdom 10 Sophia is interwoven in the retelling of the Pentateuchal stories. She is the reason the righteous forefathers made the correct decisions, she protected and preserved them and gave them power, while the unrighteous are portrayed as leaving her and consequently making the wrong decisions. It is also interesting to notice the development in the concept of both wisdom and retribution from the traditional perspectives.

Authors: Kamle Sachin , Holay Madhuri , Patil Prashant , Tayde Parimal
Published: January 2022

Objectives:

To Compare the Clinical and Biochemical Profile of DKA in Type 1 and Type 2 DM in terms of various complications and Mortality.

Material and Methods:

In this comparative study, a total of 95 patients admitted to tertiary care centres with DKA from October 2018 to December 2020, were enrolled. They were analysed for clinical profile and outcome in both groups.

Results:

Out of 95 patients, Type 1 DM was 18 (18.95%) and 77 (81.05%) were Type 2 DM. Among the clinical presentations, abdominal pain (61.11%) and breathlessness (55.55%) were common in Type 1 DM while breathlessness (40.25%) was the predominant presentation seen in Type 2 DM. There was no significant difference in the biochemical profile of patients in both groups with DKA. The mortality rate was higher in Type 2 DM (12.63%) than Type 1 DM (3.15%). Septicaemic shock (40%) was the most common cause of mortality and the next common was pneumonia in 33%. Severe acidosis, low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), high doses and longer duration of insulin therapy, higher acute physiology, and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE-II) score, and high serum osmolality had a bad outcome and were associated with high mortality.

Conclusion:

DKA is commonly observed in Type 2 DM also. Infection is the most common precipitating factor for DKA. Type 2 DM had the more severe presentation of DKA as compared to Type 1 DM with DKA. Increased APACHE-II, the requirement of insulin, and length of hospital stay are a predictor of mortality. However, GCS, APACHE-II score, and ABG parameters can predict outcomes in DKA.

Authors: Ingle Shubham , Rajkondwar Atul
Published: January 2022

Objectives:

To assess the clinical features, complications and treatment of scrub typhus patients in tertiary care hospital.

Material and Methods:

A total of 100 patients with scrub typhus, aged >12 years admitted in medicine wards and intensive care units of Government Medical College, Nagpur, were included in the study. A detailed history was taken; clinical examination, all relevant investigations, and IgM ELISA test were done for the diagnosis of scrub typhus.

Results:

The most common presenting symptoms were high-grade fever with chills (80%). The most common complication was lung involvement (35%), liver damage (28%), and acute kidney injury (27%) with six cases requiring renal replacement therapy. Multisystem organ dysfunction syndrome was seen in 19% of cases. About 27% of patients had acute respiratory distress syndrome of which 16 cases needed mechanical ventilation. Of 100 patients included, 82 (82%) cases survived and were discharged, while 18 (18%) patients succumbed during hospital admission. Among the risk factor studied, systemic hypertension was associated with an increase in mortality (P = 0.014). There was a statistically significant increase in mortality (P = 0.006) in patients having electrocardiogram abnormalities in the forms of low-voltage complexes and tachycardia. Early diagnosis and rapid treatment with doxycycline (93.90%) and ceftriaxone (87.80%) were found to be associated with more survival rate.

Conclusion:

Scrub typhus is a significant disease in this part of the country; therefore, it should be kept in mind as a possible diagnosis in undifferentiated fevers even though an eschar is not found. An early diagnosis and timely antibiotic therapy may prevent further complications.

Authors: Rathod Nikhil , Deshpande Archana
Published: January 2022

Objectives:

This study aims to calculate and compare Glasgow Coma Score, International Program on Chemical Safety Poisoning Severity Score and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation 2 score in predicting outcome of the patients with organophosphate compound poisoning.

Material and Methods:

A total of 100 patients were taken in the study from December 2018 to December 2020. Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), International Program on Chemical Safety Poisoning Severity Score (IPCS PSS) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation 2 (APACHE 2) score of each patient were calculated and compared. In this study, we compared the GCS, IPCS PSS and APACHE 2 score in predicting the outcome of the patients with organophosphate compound poisoning.

Results:

Of the 100 patients, 70 were male and 30 were female. Mortality was 15% in the study. APACHE 2 score was found to be more accurate than IPCS PSS and GCS in predicting the outcome of the patients with OP poisoning.

Conclusion:

APACHE 2 score requires arterial blood gas analysis which might not be available at all primary health care centres. At such places, IPCS PSS is the better option for predicting the outcome of OP patients.

Published: January 2022

This study examined the impact of different length of operating cycle (the sum of the average inventory period and average collection period) on the profitability and earnings quality of Saudi Cement corporations listed in Saudi Arabia Stock exchange during five years from 2016 to 2020. In addition, current ratio, net profit, and company age were used as control variables. The study used Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on Assets from Operating Cash Flow (ROAFOCF) as proxies to measure profitability and earnings quality. To achieve the aims of the study, data were obtained from the annual financial reports published in the “Tadawul”, for a purposive sample of fourteen (14) companies. Descriptive statistics, Two Way Anova, Pearson’s Linear Correlation and Simple regression analysis were used to test the hypotheses of the study. The results indicated that ROA and ROAFOCF have been explained at 61%, and 56% respectively. Furthermore, the results found that the length of operating cycle and current ratio have a negative and statistically significant effect on ROA. However, while the results found that the length of operating cycle has a negative and statistically significant effect on ROAFOCF, it did not find any significant effect of current ratio on ROAFOCF. Based on the results, we recommend that corporations need to pay attention to shorten the length of operating cycle in more efficient ways, especially through increasing the level of sales, which in turn lead to improve firm profitability and earnings quality.
