Authors: Tudor Marinela , Sandu Mihaela Luminița , Rus Mihaela
Published: January 2024

Starting from the hypothesis that the formation of a different type of attachment than the secure one can generate anxiety - a disturbing phenomenon of social adaptation, manifested by excessive fear - the present study aimed to investigate this aspect in the context of adolescents with multiple disabilities. This thematic choice constituted the motivational foundation of the research. The main purpose of the study was to examine, within the selected sample, if there are significant differences in the development of disabled adolescents, depending on their origin from a single-parent family environment, either maternal or paternal. More specifically, the research looked at the relationship between anxiety level and attachment style in adolescents with multiple disabilities in the sample. The study sample was set at 50 subjects, aged between 15 and 18 years. After analyzing the data and establishing a standard, a non-random sampling method with quotas was chosen. The criteria for inclusion in the population were: female and male adolescents, aged between 15 and 18 years, coming from single-parent or nuclear (two-parent) families, the presence of multiple disabilities, with the exception of severe intellectual disability or other conditions that could limit the understanding of the questionnaire items, balancing the number of female and male participants, as well as those from single-parent and two-parent families. The research methodology included the use of interviews and questionnaires. To identify the attachment style, the Attachment Style Questionnaire (C.S.A.), developed by Collins and Read in 1990, was used. To measure the level of anxiety, two anxiety questionnaires were combined, adapting their wording to be accessible to participants with impairments associated with mild or moderate intellectual disability. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between attachment style and anxiety among adolescents with multiple disabilities, with a particular focus on identifying significant differences between these variables.

Ectopic migration of intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs) to neighboring organs is infrequent but can lead to severe consequences. This article presents two cases of IUCD migration resulting in serious consequences, including sigmoid colon penetration in the first case (25-year-old) and right ovary penetration and contraceptive failure leading to pregnancy in the second case (19-year-old). The IUCD was inserted 6 months ago and 2 years ago in the first and the second cases, respectively. Both cases underwent surgical exploration and IUCD removal. Fortunately, both patients experienced uneventful recoveries without any complications. In conclusion, although uncommon, IUCD ectopic migration may result in contraceptive failure and/or organ perforation. Thorough evaluation during care visits is necessary for proper IUCD placement, and radiological assessment should be performed in cases of "missed IUCD" even if the patient is asymptomatic. Timely removal of ectopic IUCD is strongly advised to minimize potential risks.

Published: January 2024

Acute pancreatitis is a rare and potentially fatal complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study aimed to describe the epidemiological, clinical, radiological, and evolutionary characteristics of acute pancreatitis (AP) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Data from patients who met the revised ACR EULAR criteria for the diagnosis of LES were analyzed retrospectively. SLE activity was assessed according to the SLEDAI activity index, with a mean estimate of 14. This study included 400 patients with LES admitted between January 2010 and December 2022, of whom 27 patients were diagnosed with pancreatitis. The prevalence of pancreatitis in patients with SLE was 6.75% (27/400). Acute pancreatitis occurred mainly during active SLE, and involved more organs. The outcome was good in 60% of cases, with a 40% mortality rate in lupus-associated AP. After ruling out other causes, acute pancreatitis can be associated with SLE, if it occurs concomitantly with other signs of lupus flare-up. The diagnosis is made when the symptoms improve with specific treatment. The aim of our work is to describe the epidemiological profile, modes of presentation of lupus pancreatitis, therapeutic features and evolutionary profile of patients.
Unpacking the Gendered Edge of Slavery in Pre-Colonial Africa: A Critical Reading of The Hundred Wells of Salaga by Ayesha Harruna Atta
Authors: Ngom Mamadou Abdou Babou
Published: January 2024

Using Ayesha Harruna Atta’s The Hundred Wells of Salaga as a stepping-stone, this research paper sets out to delve into the gendered structure of slavery. The article argues that the straightjacket of patriarchal masculinity with its attendant human toll was instrumental in mediating female slavery in pre-colonial Africa. That slavery exacted a heavy toll amongst African women is borne out in the physical and psychological woes of such characters as Aminah, Khadija, and, to a lesser extent, Wurche. The paper also brings to light this much – slave women serve as sexual objects and domestic labour. The pervasiveness of the dead hand of patriarchy reaches out into the practice of enslavement. The sexist edge of slavery reflects in many regards, so the article posits, the power of men, whose praxis is geared towards shoring their stranglehold on women. Men wield vis-à-vis women what the American scholar John Halloway calls ‘power over,’ thereby thwarting them in their well-meaning all-out drive towards full-blown ‘self-actualization.’ This investigation project makes the contention that one of the merits of The Hundred Wells of Salaga is to bring out into sharp relief the dogged refusal of women to take their patriarchy-induced lot in their strides. If anything, Aminah and Wurche’s pushback bears commending since it bespeaks not only a scathing reproach to male dominance and female slavery but also a stunning tribute to sisterhood as a sure-fire way out of the predicament of women. Methodology-wise, this paper taps into an array of perspectives predicated upon the social sciences and the humanities as well as literary theory.

Published: January 2024

Malaysia is one of the world's highest lightning regions, making it an ideal location for studying lightning activities, as they cause many power outages on overhead transmission lines. This study presents ground flash density (GFD) mapping and statistical analysis of lightning flash data in Peninsular Malaysia, which will be used to evaluate the lightning performance of transmission lines. Using Geographical Information System (GIS) software, the GFD map and lightning flash data for statistical analysis were extracted. MATLAB was then used to perform statistical analysis and obtain the probability of peak lightning current using the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution. This study analyzed six years of lightning flash data from 2012 to 2017 recorded by the Lightning Location System (LLS) and used the Peninsular Malaysia base map from the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (JUPEM). Results show that the GFD mapping approach effectively classifies GFD distribution and identifies areas with high lightning activity. 81% of 4,536,380 lightning flashes were negative polarity, with a higher mean peak current magnitude than positive ones. More lightning activity was observed during the Southwest Monsoon (June-September) and the first Inter-Monsoon season (April-May). Pahang had the most lightning flashes due to its large land area. The GFD map overlaid on the transmission line demonstrated how lightning performance on the transmission line can be assessed. These findings are useful for utility and protection engineers to improve the performance of transmission lines.

Published: January 2024

Microwave-assisted activation is a green technology technique that can synthesize activated carbon from bagasse. In this study, microwave-assisted ZnCl2 chemical activation was applied to convert bagasse to activated carbon (BAC). Activating activated carbon was optimized using surface response methodology (RSM). The Box-Behnken (BBD) design was used to assist in the optimum synthesis condition, with the loading of ZnCl2 concentration (A: 10–50% w/v), heating time (B: 2–12 min), and microwave power (C: 150–800 W). The BAC was characterized using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), and moisture content. The findings of the BAC optimization were at a ZnCl2 concentration of 24.281 (% w/v), 12 min of heating time, and 800 W of microwave power. The characterization result shows that BACop has mesoporous carbon and a desirable surface area of 446.874 m2/g, average pore size of 4.071 nm, pore volume of 0.054 cc/g, and total pore volume of 0.2531 cc/g. SEM analysis revealed that microwave-generated pore structures lead to the ZnCl2 activation process. The pore structures of the raw material and activated carbon were different. The FT-IR analysis shows the existence of functional groups as well as changes in functional groups from raw material to activated carbon. The moisture content study findings are 5.51 to 9.21% in accordance with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 06-3730-1995. The isothermal adsorption-desorption process is classified as type IV adsorption with hysteresis loop H4, suggesting that the pore distribution in activated carbon is mesoporous with a tiny pore width and slit-shape pore materials.
Ecosystem Services and Urban Planning
Authors: Sangha Savun
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The main objective of the study was to explore ecosystem services and urban planning.

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to ecosystem services and urban planning. Preliminary empirical review emphasized the need for sustainable urban planning practices that integrate ecological considerations, prioritize green infrastructure and biodiversity conservation, and address disparities in access to ecosystem services. Urban planners and policymakers are key actors in ensuring the well-being of urban populations and the environment, making informed decisions about land use, transportation, and sustainability practices crucial. These findings have implications for environmental advocacy groups and policymakers, as they underscore the importance of advocating for eco-friendly urban development to protect and enhance critical ecosystem services, ultimately creating more resilient and equitable cities that benefit both people and the environment.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Urban Political Ecology Theory (UPE), Ecological Modernization Theory and Resilience theory may be used to anchor future studies on ecosystem services. The study provided recommendations to enhance urban planning practices. It suggests integrating ecosystem services into planning processes, emphasizing the importance of green infrastructure and biodiversity conservation within cities, and promoting community engagement and collaboration among stakeholders. These recommendations aim to create more resilient and sustainable urban environments that prioritize the well-being of residents while safeguarding and enhancing the valuable ecosystem services urban areas provide.

La comunidad receptora es uno de los elementos más valiosos de un destino turístico, por lo que su percepción acerca del turismo constituye un pilar fundamental para diseñar estrategias de desarrollo turístico. El objetivo de la investigación es analizar cómo percibe la comunidad local el desempeño de la gestión turística a nivel municipal en el cantón Quevedo del turismo de aventura, comprendida entre los años 2020 y 2021. El presente estudio recoge las respuestas de 120 habitantes del cantón Quevedo, en el que se aplican las teorías del intercambio social (SET) y de la geografía de la percepción, a través de una investigación mixta. Los resultados muestran que, en general la ciudadanía está conforme con la gestión realizada y manifestaron mejoras en aspectos como la transportación, comercialización de servicios turísticos, beneficios recibidos del turismo, innovación y creación de nuevos productos, inclusión de la comunidad en la toma de decisiones, rendición de cuentas, accesibilidad de procesos, las instituciones e información, entre otros. Mejoras que se dieron aún en tiempo de pandemia. Estos hallazgos brindan valiosas contribuciones teóricas a los investigadores y se constituyen implicaciones prácticas para las autoridades locales.

Published: January 2024

Debido a que el estrés es considerado el padecimiento del siglo XXI, el estrés laboral ha tomado relevancia como tema investigativo, pues las repercusiones que desencadena se evidencian en el personal y por ende en las instituciones. Estas no pasan inadvertidas ante una sociedad que cada vez vive más inmersa en las demandas pertinentes a la globalización. En este sentido, esta investigación tiene como objetivo determinar el impacto que tiene el estrés laboral en el clima organizacional de los trabajadores administrativos en una Institución gubernamental de salud en Penonomé, provincia de Coclé, Republica de Panamá. El mismo se enmarca en la modalidad cuantitativa, de diseño no experimental, tipo campo, nivel descriptivo-evaluativo. La población de estudio estuvo constituida por 65 trabajadores y la muestra correspondió a 54 colaboradores de las cuales 26 eran mujeres y 28 representaban a los hombres de la Institución. Para la recolección de información se utilizó la técnica de la encuesta con el apoyo instrumental del cuestionario acompañado del test psicológico del perfil de estrés de Kenneth, Escala de Clima Laboral.  Se llegó a la conclusión de que los trabajadores presentan estados de estrés bajo debido a que gestionan el estrés a través del afrontamiento y en consecuencia logran tener un buen clima laboral lo cual resulta paradójico en un ambiente de salud donde escasean los recursos y predominan las polémicas con los pacientes que buscan atención médica.

El planteamiento para utilizar el marketing social y el marketing deportivo como estrategias de resocialización hacia los individuos sometidos al proceso de justicia penal, surge apoyado en las investigaciones que ya han sido realizadas en otros países. Se construyó creando un marco metodológico integral, donde una primera aproximación condujo a la composición del estado del arte a través de la contextualización, analítica e interpretación, finalizando en el estado de la práctica para construir nuevos contextos generadores de conocimiento. Se elaboró un trabajo cualitativo, no experimental e interpretativo a nivel descriptivo, cuya estrategia comprendió la búsqueda documental para obtener un total de 104 bibliografías especializadas en el tema, a las cuales se aplicó la técnica del resumen, extrayendo las 50 más relevantes de acuerdo con el objetivo del estudio y con el análisis de contenido se delimitó a 21 documentos que formaron el corpusdefinitivo. Los resultados permitieron alcanzar teóricamente la articulación estratégica para desarrollar programas de resocialización, concluyendo que es difícil para las empresas y organizaciones saber lo que quiere un cliente, pero mucho más difícil es mejorar su calidad de vida, no solo hablando de beneficios económicos y materiales, sino de cualquier aspecto que promueva un cambio social positivo, siendo este el punto donde se inserta el carácter social del marketing para convertirse en una estrategia que contribuya a alcanzar aspectos tan importantes como la resocialización de poblaciones minoritarias.
