Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Nigeria: A Pre-Requisite for National Sustainable Development
Authors: Elizabeth Aremu Similoluwa , Adewunmi Abiodun Taofikat
Published: December 2023

Globally, several efforts have been made to promote the rights and inclusion of vulnerable members of society, however, persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Nigeria are constantly faced with several barriers to their full participation in social, economic, political, and environmental circles. These challenges which have been discovered to be a result of societal prejudice/misconceptions, limited resources, inability to access necessary facilities/resources, educational discrimination/limitations, employment discrimination, and policy gaps can present significant obstacles to their abilities to acquire and execute skills that will make them self-sustainable and contribute meaningfully to society, ultimately hindering collective national sustainable development. This study adopts a comprehensive study of relevant literature, observation, and interview at centres for PWDs to address the societal attitudes, discriminatory practices, and specific obstacles faced by PWDs in Nigeria. A comparison of inclusive practices in other developing and developed nations were made to show the progress Nigeria has made and the gaps that need to be filled. The study further explores the negative impacts of exclusion on national sustainability, and the implications of disability inclusion on the promotion of economic, social, political, and environmental sustainability in Nigeria. Conclusively, this research proposes some recommendations to address the barriers limiting disability inclusion in Nigeria, through the employment of specific strategies such as creating awareness of disability issues, providing accommodations, promoting inclusive policies, and engaging in community-based rehabilitation programs which when implemented will improve the quality of life of PWDs, thus promoting their contribution to national sustainable development.

Farm animal growth boosters, which are non-essential chemicals, have long been used by veterinarians and animal producers as feed additives or implants. These substances, which have anabolic action and enhance animal performance in many meat-exporting nations, include beta-agonists, anabolic hormones, and bovine somatotropin. Additionally, as the animal's nutritional status influences the availability of nutrients needed for the advancement of development and growth, the development of multiple and individual organs depends on it. Since the sources and accessibility of nutrients vary depending on the animal's developmental stage, changes in the animal's nutritional status are normal. Furthermore, obstacles from the external environment also drastically alter extrinsic nutritional conditions. Despite tremendous advances in animal science and related technologies, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about how hormones impact the welfare and productivity of food animals as well as the public's perception of their usage. Bridging these gaps through translational and transformational research progress both basic and applied animal science, with the goal of feeding an expanding population.

LONGITUDINAL VIBRATIONS OF A VERTICAL CONTINUOUS DISCRETE ROD UNDER SEISMIC DISTURBANCES
Authors: Культербаев Х.П. , Барагунова Л.А. , Пайзулаев М.М.
Published: December 2023

В статье рассматриваются свободные, кинематически возбуждаемые гармонические и случайные колебания вертикального континуально-дискретного стержня при сейсмических возмущениях. В эпицентральной зоне землетрясений вертикальная составляющая доминирует над другими составляющими колебания. Определяются спектры собственных частот и собственные формы колебаний. Предложен и реализован метод определения дисперсии – наиболее важного параметра случайных колебаний. Использован численный метод конечных разностей, результаты получены в среде вычислительного комплекса Matlab. Рассмотрены три конкретных примера расчёта. Изучение продольных колебаний является актуальным. Продольные колебания вертикальных стержневых сооружений мало изучены. Понимание детерминированного представления сейсмического воздействия и реакции от него позволяет хорошо осмыслить сущность работы сооружения. Сооружения зачастую являются континуально-дискретными системами, состоящими из участков с распределённой массой и сосредоточенных масс. Свободные продольные колебания стержней описываются дифференциальным уравнением в частных производных гиперболического типа. Начальные условия при свободных колебаниях не требуются, кинематические возмущения основания не учитываются. Краевая задача решается с помощью метода конечных разностей. Алгоритмы и программы легко адаптируются к колебаниям стержней переменного сечения, к вынужденным колебаниям от динамических и случайных нагрузок. Значения функции и производных заменяются приближёнными хорошо известными конечно-разностными значениями в узлах сетки. Сейсмические и техногенные возмущения, имеющие стохастический характер, могут быть описаны для предварительных расчётов в виде гармонического процесса.

Authors: Кирсанов М.Н.
Published: December 2023

На основе метода Донкерлея применительно к расчету плоской статически определимой регулярной фермы разработан метод вывода аналитической зависимости первой частоты собственных колебаний от числа панелей. Основа метода — вычисление суммы, связанной с парциальными частотами, по теореме о среднем. Предполагается что масса фермы равномерно распределена по ее узлам, а колебания происходят только по вертикальному направлению. Для определения жесткости конструкции используется интеграл Мора. Результаты сравниваются с методом Донкерлея и численным расчетом первой частоты всего спектра частот. Для аналитических преобразований применяются операторы системы символьной математики Maple. Обобщение результатов на произвольное число панелей выполняется методом индукции. Расчеты показывают хорошее совпадение приближенного метода с численным, выполненным с учетом всех степеней свободы конструкции. Исследованы спектры частот семейства регулярных ферм различного порядка. Обнаружены спектральные изолинии и константы.

Can you teach a hands-on skill online? A scoping review of e-learning for point-of-care ultrasound in medical education
Authors: Harel-Sterling Maya
Published: December 2023

Background: There is an increasing need and interest in teaching point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) online. The objective of this study was to systematically review the literature regarding e-learning as a method for teaching POCUS in medical education, to assess the benefits and limitations of various styles of e-learning for POCUS, and to identify gaps in the literature that could help guide future research in this field.
Methods: A literature search was conducted on three databases including MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials on October 12, 2021, retrieving a total of 1630 studies. 31 studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. These studies were separated into different styles of e-learning and learner outcomes were analyzed based on Kirkpatrick’s hierarchy.
Results: The studies were categorized into 3 styles of e-learning: a) blended learning b) online-only (asynchronous or synchronous) and c) use of handheld machines or telesonography. POCUS knowledge and image interpretation were successfully taught online, however online-only learning for image acquisition was not as consistently effective. Blended learning and telesonography were beneficial for learning image acquisition skills. Generally, novice learners benefited most from e-learning.
Conclusion: E-learning for POCUS is gaining in popularity in recent years. POCUS is a complex technical skill, and depending on the individual task being taught, different styles of e-learning may be more successful. These findings can inform future POCUS educational programs.

Implication Statement
The Resident Support Network (RSN) is a formal network of residents and medical faculty, with additional training and resources in resident wellness. RSN is accessible to residents to approach with their wellness concerns. It aims to support residents during a period of medical training that is associated with high trainee burnout rates. Implementing individual-focused and organizational strategies in residency programs has been found to reduce burnout. The RSN, in the McMaster University Pediatrics Residency program, was initiated based on the need to help address gaps in supporting resident wellness. Implementation of an RSN would likely provide similar benefits for residents in other universities and specialties by enhancing resident wellness.

Published: December 2023

Background: Applicants to ophthalmology have high rates of going unmatched during the CaRMS process, but how this compares to other competitive or surgical specialties remains unclear. Our research aims to examine this phenomenon by identifying trends and comparing match data with other specialties, to identify disparities that may inform the need for future interventions to improve the match process for applicants.
Methods: We used a cross-sectional analysis of data provided by CaRMS on the residency match from 2013 to 2022.
Results: We obtained data from 608 ophthalmology, 5,153 surgery, and 3,092 top five (most competitive) specialty first choice applicants from 2013-2022. Ophthalmology applicants were more likely to go unmatched (18.9% [120/608]) than applicants to the top five (11.9% [371/3,092]) and surgical (13.5% [702/5,153]) specialties (p<0.001) and were twice as likely to rank no alternate disciplines (31.8%, p < 0.001) over the study period. In the first iteration, when alternate disciplines were ranked, the match rate to alternate disciplines was highest for ophthalmology applicants (0.41, p < 0.001). The majority (57.8%) of unmatched ophthalmology applicants do not participate in the second iteration.
Conclusion: Compared to other competitive specialties, first choice ophthalmology applicants were more likely to go unmatched, rank no alternate disciplines, and choose not to participate in the second iteration. Ophthalmology applicant behaviours should be further studied to help explain these study findings.

Published: December 2023

Implication Statement
The field of oncology presents a number of emotionally challenging situations for a trainee to navigate which might not have been previously encountered in training. With the assistance of a guide, reflecting on such situations can be helpful; however, no tool exists in the literature specifically for clinical oncology situations and tailored to provide trainees guidance through the reflective process. Consequently, we present a self-guided reflection tool design using four established reflection models and improved over three iterations of feedback.

Rabies, a deadly viral zoonosis, that has driven mankind for centuries continues to be a major global public health threat, primarily affecting under developed areas. The virus targets the central nervous system of warm-blooded animals and claims the lives of over 60,000 individuals annually. Often categorized as a "neglected" disease, zoonoses constitute the majority of emerging infectious ailments.  India carries the greatest share of worldwide mortalities resulting from rabies transmitted by dogs to humans. Despite this, rabies is not definable in India, and it continues to be denied adequate consideration when it comes to public health issues.  Dogs serve as the primary reservoirs for the rabies virus, transmitting it through direct contact with their saliva including bites, scratches, and exposure to broken skin and mucous membranes. Despite, the fact that the cure for rabies remains elusive, it is possible to prevent this fatal disease through proper pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis and early laboratory diagnosis.  Diagnostic technologies like RT PCR, qPCR, dRIT, dFAT, and LFA are highly sensitive and specific in the rapid detection of rabies virus and play a crucial role in preventing the disease. Furthermore, vaccination both, pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis, coupled with increased public awareness, can significantly mitigate the impact of health concerns at the community level. Hence this comprehensive review emphasizes its transmission dynamics, diagnostic techniques, and preventive strategies aiming to raise awareness and enhance efforts to combat this neglected zoonotic disease.

Published: December 2023

Sweet potatoes are the world's third most important root crop and the fourth most popular staple food in developing countries, including Indonesia. Some diseases commonly found in sweet potato leaves are early blight (identified by leaves containing batataezim) and late blight (characterized by leaves that have chlorosis). These two diseases have different symptoms and require different treatments, but a slow identification process can lead to additional costs for plant care. This research will classify image data of sweet potato diseases using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method. CNN is a derivative of the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) designed to process image data with high network depth and is often used for classification tasks. The research uses a total of 750 images divided into 3 classes: images of healthy leaves, images of leaves with chlorosis, and images of leaves containing batataezim. Each leaf class will be labeled with 250 image data, and the labeled data will be further divided into training and testing sets. From these sets, prediction data will be obtained from the testing process during the CNN model training. The training accuracy resulted in a value of 98.17%, while the testing accuracy reached 98.67%. Additionally, the resulting loss values are remarkably low, at 0.04% for training and 0.03% for testing. The research findings will provide insights into the CNN method's ability to detect diseases in sweet potato plants, potentially impacting agricultural supervision, plant disease identification, and enabling more precise decisions regarding plant care actions.

Javan langur (Trachypithecus auratus) is one of the endemic primate species of Indonesia. Its populations were exposed to extinction risk caused by human activities. Thus, conservation efforts such as ex-situ conservation were needed to preserve this species. One of the javan langur ex-situ conservation in Yogyakarta is the Gembira Loka Zoo. In captivity, animals must be guaranteed to be free from hunger and stay nourished. One aspect to support this welfare is food supply. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the food composition and analyze the correlation between food preference and feeding duration of each food item group. We used scan animal sampling method with five minutes intervals to observe the behavior of seven individuals of captive javan langurs. The result showed that there are three groups of food (fruit, vegetable, and leaf) provided daily to javan langurs in Gembira Loka Zoo. All the individuals spent most their time to consumed food from vegetable group, except for infant female who had the highest duration in the leaf group. In addition, based on which food they consumed first every feeding time (preference food), javan langurs preferred vegetable over fruit and leaf. Based on the Spearman correlation test, there are positive correlations of duration and preference of feeding except for leaf groups. This result was different from the natural food composition of javan langurs which mostly consisted of leaves. This study might help the zoo to consider the food items provided for the animals to increase animal welfare.
