Radical Prostatectomy: from Open Surgery towards Robotic Laparoscopy
Authors: Wieland W. F. , Burger M. , Denzinger S. , Otto W. , Pavlov V. N.
Published: July 2020

Radical prostatectomy was first performed more than 100 years ago and has since become the gold standard in treatment of localized prostate cancer. Open surgery has been almost entirely replaced by robotic operations referred to as robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Th e article introduces the basics of this innovative standard of operative access and tackles medical and historical aspects, oncological, medical and economic management pros and contras of robotic aid over open radical prostatectomy. Surgical trauma in RARP is clearly less pronounced compared to open surgery due to a much earlier postoperative mobilisation and a faster rehabilitation of patients leading to a statistically significant reduction in the length of hospital stay after RARP. Along with advances in intracorporeal imaging with 16-fold optical magnification coupled with shorter urethral catheterisation, RARP facilitates an earlier start of pelvic floor exercises, which reduces postoperative incontinence and need for pain relievers. Th e already mentioned technical advantages of the robotic method hold value to both patient and surgeon by securing instant access for an experienced colleague without interrupting the surgery. Noteworthy, the increasing advancement of robotic systems across the globe is leading urologist surgeons to abandon open operations. A drawback of the robotic method is much higher economic costs. However, greater expenditures may pay off in the long run by shorter hospital stays, faster rehabilitation and fewer complications demanding extra management and care.

Introduction.High incidence of influenza and other acute respiratory diseases is an important medical and social problem. Coronavirus accounts for 4 to 20 % of ARVI cases. In late 2019, the People’s Republic of China experienced an outbreak of a new coronavirus infection with the epicentre in Wuhan. Th e virus spread rapidly across all continents except Antarctica. On 11 March 2020, the spread was declared a pandemic.

Materials and methods.The study reports an assay of 72 cases of treating the new coronavirus infection at the Municipal Clinical Hospital No. 8 for the period of 10.04–18.05.2020. Th e average age was 54.1 ± 16.0 years. In all patients, diagnosis was confirmed by PCR-identifi cation of the SARS coronavirus RNA in nasopharyngeal mucosa smears.

Results and discussion.Asymptomatic infection was confirmed in 6.9 % of cases. In the most severe clinical cases, the level of pulmonary tissue lesion constituted 10–25 %. Medium-severe symptoms were prevailing (62.5 %) and age-dependent in degree. Chronic morbidity aggravates the course of the disease. Timely treatment of surgical pathologies signifi cantly improves prognosis. Th e new coronavirus infection has high mortality rates (27.8 %).

Conclusion.Successful treatment of the new coronavirus infection precludes decompensation of concomitant diseases. Th e new coronavirus infection is hazardous in terms of both contagiosity and mortality rate.

DAMPAK POPULASI DAN MOBILITAS PERKOTAAN TERHADAP PENYEBARAN PANDEMI COVID-19 DI JAKARTA
Authors: Ghiffari Rizki Adriadi
Published: July 2020

The Covid-19 disease outbreak has spread to more than 200 countries, including Indonesia. Epicenter of the spread of the disease is in big cities that have been designated as local transmission, including the city of Jakarta. In addition to the ability of virus transmission, the spread of infectious diseases directly is also influenced by the characteristics of the population and human mobility as a breeding ground for viruses. Based on the results of the correlation test, it was found that mobility within the city and external mobility, had an intermediate effect on the spread of COVID-19 disease. While the human development index, population growth, poor population, and vulnerable age variables also have a low impact on the spread of this disease. The ability to detect and respond to large-scale disease outbreaks is needed, and effective population mobility restrictions are needed to control the spread of this disease.Key words: Urban Demographic, Urban Mobility, Covid-19 Pandemic  Wabah penyakit Covid-19 telah menyebar ke lebih dari 200 negara, termasuk Indonesia. Episentrum penyebaran penyakit berada di kota-kota besar yang telah ditetapkan sebagai transmisi lokal, diantaranya Kota Jakarta.

Authors: Erland Kesek Randy Angga , Hardjomuljadi Sarwono
Published: July 2020

Industri konstruksi saat ini telah menjadi sangat kompleks dan berisiko tinggi, sehingga diperlukan ikatan kerja yang baik dan berdasar hukum. Di Indonesia sendiri terjadi banyak kasus klaim dan sengketa konstruksi. Hal ini diakibatkan karena adanya perbedaan presepektif mengenai pasal-pasal dalam kontrak konstruksi dan kurangnya pemahaman tentang kontrak konstruksi tersebut. Setiap proyek konstruksi di daerah menggunakan dana APBD dimana setiap daerah membuat kontrak konstruksi sendiri sesuai dengan kebutuhan proyek konstruksi di daerah tersebut, sehingga setiap kontrak konstruksi yang dibuat berbeda-beda sehingga dapat berpotensi terjadinya klaim dan sengketa. Manfaat dari penelitian diharapkan dapat memberikan informasi untuk pengembangan kontrak konstruksi di kabupaten Halmahera Utara. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian mixed method, diawali dengan literature review. Uji pakar dilakukan dengan menggunakan Teknik Delphi. Kuisioner disusun berdasarkan studi literatur terhadap jurnal, buku dan penelitian terdahulu. Kuesioner menggunakan skala Likert berskala 6. Analisis faktor dilakukan dengan menggunakan SPSS 23.0 untuk menemukan faktor dominan yang berkaitan dengan pasal pada kontrak konstruksi APBD. Analisis kualitatif dilakukan dengan display data dan triangulasi data untuk membandingkan temuan dengan FIDIC Red Book tahun 1999. Berdasarkan hasil analisis kuantitatif ditemukan bahwa faktor paling dominan adalah ketersediaan tenaga kerja. Diatur pada pada kontrak konstruksi APBD di pasal 64. Personil dan/atau peralatan penyedia. Berdasarkan hasil analisis kualitatif dapat disimpulkan bahwa pada FIDIC Red Book 1999, pasal-pasal tersebut diatur lebih rinci dan lebih jelas mengenai hak dan kewajiban serta tanggung jawab setiap pihak sehingga dapat meminimalisir terjadinya misinterpretasi terhadap pasal-pasal tersebut.

Body Mass Index and Waist Circumferences Related to Uric Acid Level among Adults
Authors: Pramesti Arindha Reni , Kusumaningati Walliyana
Published: July 2020

Background: the changes in metabolism in the body can trigger the increase of uric acid levels which can lead to a precursor of hyperuricemia and gout disease that can result extreme pain in the joint. Based on the study, it has known that uric acid levels can be caused by obesity, protein intake, lifestyle, and others. The anthropometric method which usually used to measured obesity are body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Currently, the most commonly used ratio in this way is the Body Mass Index (BMI). Result: in a Canadian study among 151 adults, it was reported that there was a higher correlation between the area of abdominal visceral fat and WC compared with the correlation with the waist-hip circumference ratio. WC is also more strongly associated with total body fat, measured by densitometry, than by waist-to-hip circumference ratio. High levels of leptin in obese people can cause uric acid disruption through urine, so that uric acid levels in the blood of obese people become high. BMI also shows a positive relationship with leptin concentration, which is a trigger factor to increased uric acid levels. American adults also shown that uricemia related to their BMI value. Conclusion: BMI is one of the indicators of obesity, while obesity often thought to influence the incidence of gout by increasing uric acid levels in the blood. WC also closely related potentially to atherogenic metabolic disorders associated with abdominal obesity that to waist-to-hip circumference ratios.

Issues of Confidentiality and Public Interest: A Case Study from a Library Perspective
Authors: Munyoro Isaiah
Published: July 2020

In 2004, Zimbabwe suffered a number of undocumented challenges, including the externalisation of billions of United States (US) dollars. This was associated with the buying of assets abroad with foreign currency acquired in Zimbabwe. A number of prominent public figures were implicated in these transactions, leading to investigations which did not spare libraries from revealing information about patrons. Libraries connected to institutions, such as the police, hospitals and parliament, have information that is of interest to researchers and, like any other library, also store patron records, which are considered to be of public interest. This article reports on a study that explored a court case where information was provided by the Parliament of Zimbabwe library. The study used a case study methodology and reviewed information in the literature relating to confidentiality and public interest issues, as well as the use of a decision-making model and documents to identify existing operating procedures, if any. The study pointed to the debatable issue of public interest and the need for clear laws on the confidentiality and privacy of patrons in Zimbabwe. It also highlighted the importance for Library and Information Science (LIS) practitioners to understand the legal issues relating to the confidentiality of patron records. Accordingly, clear guidelines are important for decisionmaking when such practitioners are faced with the need to provide patron records. A simple decision-making model is thus recommended to complement existing legislation. Although the story of the court case appeared in local papers in Zimbabwe, placing the case study in a research context provides a useful tool for LIS students and practitioners.
Employing Cooperative Learning to Enhance the Library Literacy Skills of Students
Authors: Mofana Matsie Theresa , Jacobs Lorette
Published: July 2020

Tertiary students often fail to use quality academic library information sources such as journal articles in their studies. Reasons may include an inability to understand the importance of quality academic resources such as databases, poor teaching strategies that do not support and encourage active student engagement, and a lack of just-in-time training to develop and build skills to access and use academic resources effectively. Linked to the above, the pilot research investigates whether cooperative learning as a teaching strategy can be used to expose private higher education students to a library literacy programme that assists them to utilise academic resources and sources more productively. A cross-sectional survey design was used to determine the extent to which a library literacy programme, based on cooperative learning principles, can be applied in pursuit of academic excellence. Findings show that such a programme promotes active collaborative learning, since students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning through various practical learning engagements. The study recommends that the use of an active participatory approach, based on cooperative learning principles, be expanded to assist students in enhancing their library literacy skills.

Authors: Onyancha Omwoyo Bosire , Mungai Gladys Njeri , Kemoni Henry Nyabuto
Published: July 2020

Tacit knowledge is seen as difficult to be shared in an organisation owing to its intuitive, versatile and practice-based nature. Consequently, tacit knowledge is not well-understood or valued in most organisations and more so in public institutions. The purpose of the study was to investigate how the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA) manages tacit knowledge as an intangible asset and also to recommend a framework or model for the management of tacit knowledge for a competitive advantage and development at the KIPPRA. The study adopted a qualitative research approach, with interviews and observation methods constituting the primary data collection methods. The study targeted 60 employees of KIPPRA consisting of researchers, young professionals, heads of divisions, a knowledge manager and administrative staff. The qualitative data collected were organised, categorised and reported verbatim. Among the key findings were that KIPPRA has the capacity for tacit knowledge sharing, capture, transfer and storage that have not been capitalised on. Further, employees experience challenges such as the identification and understanding of tacit knowledge, access to tacit knowledge sharing platforms, access to expertise with specific tacit knowledge, tacit knowledge hoarding, individualism, and ICT-related challenges in accessing tacit knowledge. Finally, the study recommends the adoption of a proposed framework for managing tacit knowledge at the KIPPRA.

Published: July 2020

Information literacy (IL) is a precondition for lifelong learning, especially for teachers whose profession authorises them to impart knowledge to students who are expected to be resourceful and critical thinkers. The study investigated the perceptions of secondary school teachers of IL skills, in the two cities of Lagos, Nigeria, and Durban, South Africa, focusing on six research questions. The post-positivist research paradigm was adopted for this study, which combines both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies through a multicase study research design. Data were gathered through questionnaires, interviews, observation and document analysis that included a literature review. The target population was secondary school teachers in Lagos and Durban. The study revealed the following: 1)Â teachers in Durban had a higher level of perception of the need for IL than their counterparts in Lagos, 2)Â electronic information resources were infrequently used by the teachers, 3)Â younger teachers tend to possess a higher level of IL than their older colleagues, which makes in-service training imperative, 4)Â female teachers are significantly more information literate than their male counterparts, 5)Â many of the school libraries seem to have been afterthoughts, and the specifications for library building and planning were not observed as itemised by IFLA library building guidelines, and 6)Â interaction and collaboration between teachers and librarians are limited. The study recommended a comprehensive policy review to deal with IL challenges, with appropriate training and workshops for teachers topping the list.

Published: July 2020

This paper investigates the challenges faced by the rural dwellers in seeking and using information from public libraries in the North West zone of Nigeria. A quantitative research method was employed in the study. The population of this study consisted of 5 directors of state library boards and 10Â 574 registered library users as rural dwellers which comprised both literate and illiterate users. All five directors were chosen to form part of the sample size of the study. Similarly, a sample of 370 was drawn from the registered library users of the libraries under study. Semi-structured interviews were used for the directors. Two sets of questionnaires were used to collect data for the study. These included the English version and the Hausa version for the literate and illiterate library users respectively. The qualitative data were analysed using thematic and content analysis techniques. The quantitative data were also analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer software and descriptive statistics. Among the major challenges faced by the rural dwellers in seeking information from public libraries were the centralisation of the library services at the local government headquarters, the absence of library services in the rural communities, inadequate information resources, the absence of community information resource centres in rural communities, and the high illiteracy level among the rural dwellers. The study recommends adequate funding of public libraries to provide relevant and adequate information sources and effective services in various formats and languages among others.

The paper presents a study that examined the information-seeking behaviour of first-year undergraduate students at Mzuzu University, Malawi, by focusing on three research objectives, namely the information needs of first-year undergraduate students, the predominant sources of information for first-year undergraduate students, and information-seeking barriers of first-year undergraduate students. The study stratified the sample into five faculties and distributed questionnaires with a mix of closed-ended and open-ended questions to 215 first-year undergraduate students. According to the study findings, 135 (62.7%) students who returned the questionnaires predominantly need information for academic work such as assignments, test and examinations. The predominant sources of information used by students are library books, lecture notes or handouts, and text books assigned to the course with scores of 100 (74%), 98 (72.6%) and 63 (46.7%) respectively. The study concludes that as much as library books are the main source of information, the unavailability of relevant books, poor Internet connectivity, studentsâ€™ lack of computer and search skills, frequent power outages, and underdeveloped ICT infrastructure including low Internet bandwidth, were found to be the inhibiting factors that students faced in accessing and using some information resources at Mzuzu University. Mzuzu University can mitigate some of these challenges by investing in ICT infrastructure and through the department of Library and Information Science and the library working collaboratively in teaching information literacy to students.
Skills Impact Assessment of Personnel Managing Electronic Records in Zimbabwe’s Public Service
Authors: Mutsagondo Samson , Ngulube Patrick
Published: July 2020

This study examined skills levels, gaps and needs of personnel who manage electronic records in Zimbabwe’s public departments. In the context of this study, skills refer to the ability and competence to manage electronic records professionally, effectively and efficiently. Many scholars have established that a solid educational background, experience, training and staff development programmes are indispensable in implementing a successful electronic records management programme. This is in tandem with the skills theory and the skills acquisition theory, both of which were used in this study. The study established that although an array of officers managed electronic records, most of them were not qualified in records management and as such lacked competencies to manage electronic records properly and professionally. There was no coordination in the manner in which electronic records were managed as different officers managed electronic records according to their personal intuition, ability and resources. This qualitative study involved 55 officers who worked with electronic records in government ministries in the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe. Data were collected using interviews which were triangulated by document reviews. Data were analysed thematically. The study recommended skills development through workshops and college courses, skills collaboration and the hiring of qualified records officers in order for Zimbabwe to turn around her electronic records management fortunes.
Educational Resources to Under-Resourced Schools in the Limpopo Province: Proposed Library Model
Authors: Mojapelo Samuel Maredi
Published: July 2020

Universally, the significance of adequately resourced and well-staffed libraries to improve teaching and learning accomplishments in under-resourced schools cannot be overemphasised. In South Africa, resource provision is still a daunting challenge adversely affecting the quality of the results of learners. It is a distressing fact that, even in the post-apartheid South Africa, only a few (7%) schools have well-stocked and functioning libraries. One of the outcomes of this largely quantitative study was to propose a library model that the author hopes can be implemented to offer effective library and information services for schoolsÂ - particularly in disadvantaged rural communities. Given the way in which the majority of South African schools are distributed in disadvantaged rural communities, the study recommends a cluster school library model that involves a number of schools in a particular circuit office being serviced by one well-equipped stand-alone library (cluster library) under the education library services of the provincial Department of Basic Education.
Assessing the Appraisal, Disposal and Transfer of Records from 1994 to 2014: The Case of Mpumalanga Provincial Government in South Africa
Authors: Netshakhuma Nkholedzeni Sidney
Published: July 2020

This study was conceptualised in order to assess the appraisal, disposal and transfer of archival records from the Mpumalanga Provincial Government (MPG) to the Mpumalanga Provincial Archives (MPA) for the period from 1994 to 2013. The study’s specific objective was to investigate the transfer process of archival records in terms of the Mpumalanga Archives Act, No. 14 of 1998. The study used a qualitative method through document analysis, interviews and observation. The sample for the study comprised the MPG and municipality records managers. The Mpumalanga provincial archivists were also interviewed as the custodians of the MPA. The key findings revealed that the MPG and the municipality did not comply with the Mpumalanga Archives Act, No. 14 of 1998 in terms of transferring records with archival value to the MPA as stipulated by the act. This has adverse implications for efficient administration of records in the country.
Electronic Court Records Management Systems: A Review of Literature in Selected African Countries
Authors: Mosweu Tshepho Lydia , Mosweu Olefhile
Published: July 2020

Court records are a vital source of information for the judicial system. They are mainly used by legal researchers, legal practitioners and policymakers for decision-making. The invention of modern technology systems has seen courts around the world adopting electronic systems to manage these records. Consequently, records management has gained prominence since a systematic, efficient and organised records management system is crucial in guaranteeing unbiased decisions through trusted records by the courts. The computerisation of court records has its own challenges that may be peculiar to the justice system in any country. The creation, management and preservation of digital records have an impact on policies, standards, copyright, metadata and other technical issues. Velicogna has noted that even though the use of technologies reduces delays, improves economy, efficiency and effectiveness and promotes confidence in the justice system, due process, impartiality and independence should also be carefully taken into account given the nature and importance of the judiciary. This is especially so when structural and procedural changes, such as the ones driven by the introduction of new technologies, take place. Through a review of literature, this paper seeks to examine the implementation of electronic court records management systems in selected African countries with a view to ascertaining whether the intended objectives for their deployment have been achieved. Generally, this study found that justice systems in the selected countries implemented computerised court records systems and derived some benefits as anticipated. However, the implemented systems were confronted with some challenges that can be resolved in due course to ultimately facilitate the systems to enhance delivery of justice.
Zimbabwean Academic Libraries — Success through Cooperation and Collaboration
Authors: Chisita Collence Takaingenhamo
Published: July 2020

Library cooperation and collaboration have become the key to the success of academic libraries in their endeavour to provide for the dynamic and diverse needs of users. The future trajectory of library development will require innovative and flexible strategies for cooperation transcending time and space. This article examines the challenges and opportunities for cooperation and collaboration among Zimbabwe’s library consortia. The study used a case study approach in assessing challenges and opportunities for cooperation and collaboration among academic libraries in Zimbabwe. The key research questions steering the study are “What are the main reasons for joining the consortium?” and “How can academic libraries in Zimbabwe utilise cooperation and collaboration to improve service delivery?” The research sites for this study were academic libraries subscribing to the Zimbabwe University Library Consortium (ZULC) and the College and Research Library Consortium (CARLC). The researcher selected 10 members from the ZULC and 5 members from the CARLC as research sites. The researcher also reviewed literature on developments relating to library cooperation from other countries within and outside Africa. The study recommends library cooperation and collaboration among the different sectors of the library profession. It also recommends negotiations for an inclusive model for cooperation for all types of libraries to avoid the pitfalls of separate development and to strengthen the library system in Zimbabwe.
The Centre for African Literary Studies: An Opportunity to be Managed?
Authors: Polak Fiona Margaret , Stilwell Christine , Underwood Peter G , Hoskins Ruth
Published: July 2020

Libraries contain many collections but professional practice has long recognised the concept of “special collections”. The Centre for African Literary Studies (CALS) at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), South Africa, was established to house the private collection of Bernth Lindfors, a retired professor of English and African literature from the University of Texas, Austin. This article draws on Polak’s study which sought to determine whether universities need designated centres for African studies. She explored the role of CALS as a special collection and in what way the Centre was able to fulfil its role in facilitating and enabling African Studies at UKZN and in the broader community. This article focuses on the challenges of managing CALS as a valuable special collection. Data sources included a literature and document analysis, as well as a survey using questionnaires and personal interviews. The most significant finding was that the original noble vision of the founders to create a centre that boosted the humanities and African literature at UKZN and especially on the Pietermaritzburg campus had been restricted. The establishment of CALS as an externally funded centre had had a negative impact on the endeavours of CALS’s directors who, despite great efforts, had been handicapped in their management of CALS by lack of institutional support, funding and staff tenure. Recommendations for the UKZN which also have relevance for other special collections are made.
