Published: April 2023

In India close to 26 million women are pregnant at any given time and almost15.6 abortions happen every year, in fact it’s understood that unsafe abortion is the 3rd largest cause for maternal mortality leading to the death of 13 women in a day, when it comes to countries across the globe the situation is not very different, though the maternal mortality rate is less United States alone witnesses 40% of abortion every year, various reasons are attributed for this such as religious, ethical, moral and legal stand of each countries. India has Medical termination of Pregnancy Act of 1971 in prevalence to regulate laws on pregnancies and abortions, the current MTP Act allows abortion up till a tenure of 20 weeks and beyond this one has to approach higher courts seeking permission to get pregnancies terminated. Termination of pregnancies in case of rape, incest or medical reasons become difficult in these scenarios and the demand for safe access to abortion becomes a necessity in these conditions as restrictive policies on abortion leads to people opting for clandestine procedures to terminate pregnancies and thereby resulting in increased women mortality, the denial for abortion is also seen as an encroachment on the personal liberty of women as it infringes right to health and right to live which in India is provided by Article 21 of the Constitution. The dissertation is on the topic of abortion laws and how different religious views contribute to formulating laws on abortion and how abortion is perceived in United states and also generally by United Nations. There is an urgent need to decriminalize abortion and regulate it as a standard medical procedure by removing the legal and other restrictions placed on it, there is also a need to ensure adequate health care facilities and cost effective treatments to marginalized population as they are more vulnerable, this dissertation intends to bring out the necessity of liberal abortion policies in this era of liberty and human dignity. Keywords: Abortion, maternal mortality, Medical termination of Pregnancy Act, MTP Act, personal liberty, right to health, right to live, decriminalization of abortion, religious views, United States, United Nations, liberal abortion policies.

Published: April 2023

The unorganized sector contributes a significant proportion of India's gross domestic product, and a vast majority of households rely on it for their income. However, people working in informal sectors are often poor and at risk of infectious and long-term diseases due to their work and living conditions. Health insurance is essential for individuals in such uncertain and unpredictable circumstances. The government has taken the initiative to provide health insurance to people with low incomes to ensure that they have access to the necessary medical treatment. This study aims to evaluate the performance of various health insurance programs offered by the government to those with low incomes. However, the poor still face obstacles in acquiring access to high-quality medical care due to socioeconomic conditions, social and gender norms, and unfair distribution of healthcare facilities. To address these issues, the central and state governments have launched several government health insurance programs in recent years. The main motive of government health insurance programs is to give people access to good free medical care, but it remains a challenge to set up and manage health insurance, particularly in rural areas. Keywords: Unorganized sector, health insurance, low income, socioeconomic conditions, government health insurance programs, healthcare facilities.

Authors: Mohammed May Abdullah , Ali Muna Atallah Khaleefah , Marzook Ahmad Abed , Albayaty Mohammed
Published: April 2023

Background: Economic Globalization affects work condition by increasing work stress. Chronic work stress ended with burnout syndrome.
Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of burnout syndrome and the association of job title, and violence with it among physicians in Baghdad, and to assess the burnout syndrome at patient and work levels by structured interviews.
Subjects and Methods: A cross section study was conducted on Physicians in Baghdad. Sampling was a multistage, stratified sampling to control the confounders in the design phase. A mixed qualitative and quantitative approach (triangulation) was used. Quantitative method used self-administered questionnaires of Maslach Burn out Inventory. Qualitative approach used an open-ended question modified from Copenhagen Burnout Inventory by face-to-face interviews. An ordinal logistic regression used in the analysis phase to overcome confounders.
Results: The percentages of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and feeling of inefficacy were 72.5%, 31.9%, and 12.7% respectively. Total burnout syndrome was 56.4%. Being single and hospital workers were significantly associated with emotional exhaustion (p=0.006, 0.001 respectively) and total burnout syndrome (p=0.017, 0.016 in sequence). In addition to emotional exhaustion and burnout syndrome, singles suffered from depersonalization (p=0.010). Administrative responsibilities made physicians less liable for emotional exhaustion but more prone to feeling of inefficacy (p=0.038, 0.017 respectively).  Less than 40-year age group had a relation with depersonalization, p=0.003, and total burnout syndrome p=0.013. Being male was significant with total burnout syndrome, p=0.008. All Violence types were associated significantly with burnout syndrome and its dimensions, p=0.001 (except feeling of inefficacy in which only threat was significant with it, p=0.054).
In qualitative part, the response rate was 80%. It was formulated from 3 themes. Highest percentages in these themes were gained by female and graded physicians.
Conclusion: Burnout affects over half of Baghdad’s doctor. Violence was significant to burnout syndrome but job title was not. In qualitative part female and graded physicians were most groups to be affected.

Authors: Doush Wael Mohialddin , Abdelaziz Muataz S. , Musaad Abdlmagid M.
Published: April 2023

Background: The problem of difficult gallbladder is not clearly defined and associated with real missing of therapeutic approaches that decreased morbidity. Moreover, the difficult gallbladder was reported as a contributing risk factor for biliary injury due to raised difficulty in surgical dissection within Calot’s triangle. The aim of this study is to determine the surgical outcomes of the open fundus-first cholecystectomy in lowering the rate of lethal intraoperative risks.

Subjects and Methods: Our prospective study conducted during the period of January 2019 to December 2022 at Ibn Sina specialized hospital, Khartoum, Sudan, for two hundred and fifty-three patients underwent elective open fundus-first cholecystectomy for intraoperative difficulties.

Results: the majority of cases had long-standing cholelithiasis with intraoperative difficulties revealed by pre-operative TUS and MRCP which required open fundus-first cholecystectomy in 173 (68.4%) of patients, (P-value <0.05). The operative surgical time was 120 minutes in 103 patients (40.7%), (P-value <0.05). During open cholecystectomy, variable intraoperative difficulties were found in all patients, (P-value <0.05) and were divided into: (A) Contracted intra-hepatic gallbladder seen in 157 (62.1%) of cases; (B) Distorted anatomy within Calot's triangle seen in 135 (53.4%) of patients; and (C) Intraoperative bleeding from the liver bed was observed as bloody oozing form in 150 (59.3%) of cases. Our patients had minimal postoperative complications like mild wound infection in 8 (3.2%) of cases and mortality rate was zero. 

Conclusions: There is a need for appropriate therapeutic and preventive strategies in healthcare systems for safe dealing with difﬁcult cholecystectomy. Unclear anatomy due to severe inflammatory dense adhesions at Calot’s triangle and CBD stones needing difficult surgeries are the most important limiting factors for fundus-first laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Hence, we humbly recommend an open approach of fundus-first cholecystectomy as safe surgical option to reduce the incidence of bile duct injuries and intra-operative bleeding.

Service Climate and Service Quality of Sri Lankan Public Service: A Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling Approach (PLS-SEM)
Authors: Wijesekera Achini Tharanga , Fernando R. Lalitha S
Published: April 2023

This paper investigates the relationship between service climate and service quality of public service in Sri Lanka. For that, two questionnaires were distributed. The first questionnaire was distributed using random sampling method among 500 employees in 83 Divisional Secretariats to collect data to recognize the level of service climate. The second questionnaire was distributed customers to identify the level of service quality using same sampling method to 2500 customers in the same divisional secretariats. Data were analyzed by SEM using Smart Plus software. The findings revealed that the relationship between service climate (SEC) and perceived service quality (PSQ) is not accepted at 5 percent significance level (P>0.05). It means that the relationship between service climate and perceived service quality is not significant in the context of the Sri Lankan public service. Then it deviates from the previous literature. This empirical finding will help to enhance the body of knowledge in the area of the service quality in the context of the Sri Lankan public service. Similarly this paper filled the important gap in the Sri Lankan literature.

A Survey on Load Balancing in Mobile Cloud Computing using Cloudlet
Authors: Mary J. Arockia , Aloysius A.
Published: April 2023

Mobile applications and tasks are huge and handle huge data. These applications are offloaded and executed in the cloud. Instead of executing in the cloud, the cloudlet which is a small cloud situated near the access point is used for execution. The cloudlet has less number of VMs. When more tasks are offloaded to the cloudlet, there is no VM free as VMs are busy in executing tasks. This cloudlet is full of tasks and all VMs are busy. But nearby another cloudlet may have free VMs. Those cloudlets have free VMs. So the tasks that do not get the VM in the near cloudlet, are offloaded to nearby cloudlets. So all the cloudlets now have tasks for execution and resources are utilized optimally. This survey discusses the various load balancing methods proposed by different researchers and their issues.
Multiple Blocks, Multiple Rounds Method for Image Cryptography
Authors: Alqadi Ziad
Published: April 2023

In this research paper a simple, flexible, secure and efficient method of digital image cryptography will be introduced. The method will enhance some features of standard methods like DES and AES. The introduced method will divide the source data into blocks, the block size will be variable, the number of rounds will be also variable and they will be determined by the user when selecting the private key. The proposed method will use a complicated private key, which will provide a huge key space capable to resist hacking attacks, the produced decrypted data will be very sensitive to the selected private key, any minor changes in the key will be considered as a hacking attempt by producing damaged decrypted data. The private key will be used to divide the image into blocks, to set the number of rounds and to generate the required for rounds secret keys. The private key will contain the values of chaotic parameters to run two chaotic logistic map models to generate two2D chaotic keys; these keys will be converted to decimal integers to apply the required XORing operations. The proposed method will be tested and implemented using various images; the obtained results will be used to prove the enhancement provided by this method: quality of cryptography, security, speed and sensitivity.
The Inclusion of Sports Educational Activities in A Multicultural Educational Context. A Systematic Review of The Literature
Authors: Konstantinos Vouzoulias , Georgia Koufioti , Athanasios Kounios , Maria Vlachadi
Published: April 2023

The correlation between inclusion, sport and physical activity can be understood by policy agendas, as they place sport and physical activity as a means of enhancing social cohesion and as a means of facilitating cultural and linguistic empowerment of migrants trying to successfully settle in a new country. In the context of the present study, an attempt is made to demonstrate that participation in sports and physical activity is involved in the production and negotiation of cultural capital in various ways related to processes and experiences of cultural integration and exclusion. The systematic review of publications between the years 2010-2021 is attempted through the use of the preferred reference framework for systematic reviews and meta-analyzes (PRISMA). Existing findings support the role that sport can contribute in promoting integration. Nevertheless, there are different views. On the one hand, there is evidence to suggest that sport can promote interaction between people from different cultures. On the other hand, there are also indications that participation in sports can exacerbate cultural differences, thus causing tensions. Greece is, among many other countries, a country of intense diversity due to increased immigration. A clear National Curriculum should set the goals of physical education, which is an important part of schools and a compulsory subject in basic education. Physical education is a school subject that aims to contribute to the holistic well-being of students by supporting their physical, social and psychological functional ability and positive body image.
The Socio-Language Effects of Alcohol Consumption in the Buea Municipality
Authors: Gilbert FOSSUNG Noutock
Published: April 2023

There are several debates about the consumption of alcohol in our society today (effects of alcohol). These debates are animated in religious, academic, social and even political circles. Is it really possible to give a clear cut ruling as to whether alcohol consumption is good or not? It may be a daunting task to comfortably answer this question. This study is out to investigate the possible social and language effects of alcohol consumption in the lives of the inhabitants of the Buea Municipality. The study adopted the formula of Daniel (1995) for sample size determination when population is unknown, to bring out a sample size of 384 consumers of alcohol. From the total of 384 questionnaires administered, a total of 342 were retained since some were not returned and some were not completely answered. We also used observation as a means of gathering information, where we visited over 200 bars, especially in the evenings. This permitted us to witness the reactions on people after the consumption of alcohol. Demographics show that most participants were male (76.9%). Their age range was between 15 and 35 (75.7%), they have white collar jobs (46.5%), and they have been working for less than 4 years (49.1%). A majority of the respondents were Christians (51.5%). Concerning the social effects of alcohol, we noticed that a majority of the population consume alcohol and too much consumption causes them to fall sick. Too much consumption equally makes them not to pray. As far as the effects of alcohol consumption on language is concerned, we realized that features such as writing, thought process, hearing ability, hearing ability and language/speech fluency are seriously affected. These findings show that too much alcohol consumption have negative effects on the social life of people and it also serves as a great hindrance to language in particular and to communication in general.

Extinction of Indigenous Language in Bangladesh
Authors: Rahman S.M Asif
Published: April 2023

The extinction of indigenous languages in Bangladesh is a complex issue that has been a matter of concern for several decades. This abstract aims to highlight the causes and consequences of this phenomenon. The country is home to numerous ethnic communities, each with its unique language and culture. However, the dominance of the Bengali language, both socially and politically, has led to the gradual erasure of these indigenous languages. Factors such as poverty, lack of education, and political marginalization have contributed to the decline of these languages. The loss of linguistic diversity not only represents a cultural loss but also has severe social, economic, and political implications. The absence of these languages can lead to a loss of traditional knowledge, as well as reduced access to education and employment opportunities for indigenous communities. This abstract concludes that urgent action is required to protect the indigenous languages of Bangladesh and preserve the rich cultural heritage of the country’s ethnic communities.
Agglomeration of population and employment in the urbanization - industrialization interaction: The case of Izmir
Authors: Yetiskul Emine , Kul Fahrettin
Published: April 2023

As production and economic activities shaped the growth of cities during the pre-industrial era, they are still the most important factors explaining modern urbanization. Economic restructuring is being reshaped with agglomeration economies, bringing spatial restructuring with it. Regional economic growth, emergence of new centers and production foci are formed in the equilibria of positive and negative externalities of agglomeration. Positive externalities do not arise solely from internal economies of scale related to factors of production such as easy accessibility in the region. It also results from external economies of scale, including economies of localization and urbanization. On the other hand, as cities grow the attractiveness of large agglomeration and advantages of economies of scale decrease. Negative externalities in the larger agglomerations may eventually lead to decreasing returns to scale in cities. Economic view of regional science and geography considers cities maintaining equilibrium between two competing forces, i.e., centripetal forces (agglomeration) and centrifugal forces (dispersion). This study examines recent agglomeration and dispersion processes in the settlement pattern from the relationship between urbanization and economic growth. To do so, we take Izmir as a case and use general explanatory variables such as population and employment.  Specifically, we investigate spatial agglomeration in the Izmir city region and metropolitan area by using population and employment data of 2009 and 2019. Based on empirical results, we discuss new sub-regions, urban centers, and clustering that emerged due to economies of scale as well as positive and negative externalities of agglomeration.

Published: April 2023

This article presents the basic design course applications based on the design education of first-year interior architecture students. This study aims to emphasize the importance of education in the design-oriented thinking process with practice through the content of the basic design course. Within the scope of the study, art-based research in interior architecture education was carried out and the intersections of its results are described. In the studio, basic design elements and principles were conveyed with the techniques commonly taught in schools and architectural movements were given to students as term papers for research. The study directs the student to create 2D and 3D compositions by combining the studies he/she has done during the term and the research assignment. The findings show that students can reflect on their research on architectural movements to new three-dimensional abstract spaces by combining them with basic design education. While grounding this reflection, design process of the students is based on form and elements without color. The results also show a significant correlation between students’ practices and Gestalt Principles. This article emphasizes the importance of applying basic elements and principles of design and being integrated with field-specific studies to achieve better results in design education. This study is an experimental and original studio product. With the basic design education given only in the first semester, the students were given examples to determine and understand forms and approaches without color knowledge, especially through basic principles, using architectural movements instead of abstract expression.

De acordo com as pesquisas realizadas por meio de revisão bibliográfica de cunho qualitativo e caráter descritivo, o uso das TICs em sala de aula leva a um melhor desenvolvimento cognitivo, os professores conseguem despertar a curiosidade dos alunos com o auxílio de atividades e desenvolver sua capacidade de gerar e criar novas ideias, estimulando assim sua pertinência por meio de tarefas, tornando possível mudar a forma de aprender. Observamos que, de fato, a tecnologia está a contribuir para o processo de ensino e exige mesmo um elemento substantivo e fundamental, o investimento. Há necessidade de incorporar as TICs no currículo, não apenas como um auxiliar, mas como um método decisivo. Portanto, concluiu-se que durante o processo de ensino é importante que tanto professores quanto alunos tenham acesso a diversas informações fornecidas por meio das TICs, tornando a comunicação e o alcance da capacidade escolar mais acessível. Pode-se dizer que o uso responsável das TICs no ensino é um grande desafio para os professores, pois eles precisam se qualificar, redefinir os métodos desenvolvidos em sala de aula e aprimorar o plano de ensino.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): A Suitable Broad Based Dispute Resolution Model in Nigeria; Challenges and Prospects.
Authors: Ojo Samuel Olugbenga
Published: April 2023

Purpose: Due to the flaws in the traditional judicial system, the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods is gaining popularity among scholars and lawyers around the world. Most scholarly articles have examined the inherent advantages of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) techniques over the traditional judicial processes for resolving different types of conflict. Despite the increasing frequency and classification of conflicts in Nigeria, little research has been conducted on the reasons for, and barriers to, disputants' use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) systems as viable options. Given the complexity of the nature and structure of disputes in Nigeria, this research delves into the factors that push and pull litigants into the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).

Methodology: This study utilized an explanatory research approach to investigate the many distinctive kinds of conflicts and match them with the most relevant ADR procedures. In particular, property disputes, family conflicts, and business disagreements were investigated. 

Findings: According to the findings, Alternative Dispute resolution (ADR) may lead to a considerable reduction in the amount of time and expense of the dispensation of justice that addresses unfairness in the system of criminal justice administration, ultimately resulting in positive social change.

Contributions to Theory, Policy and Practice:   The study concludes that Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes have significant potentials for handling the growing number of disputes. However, it is necessary to address their shortcomings as well as facilitate collaboration between the practitioners and the regular courts. It would improve social stability and guarantee satisfaction for the perpetrator, the victim, the community, and society as a whole if this were done. The study recommended, among other things, that the general public and litigants be educated on the inherent advantages of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in the resolution of conflicts.

This study investigated the formulation of a product prototype RMUTI-SKC by using the legal part of cannabis plants (leaves). Five product prototypes were composed of cannabis (leaves), stevia and mint. The herbs were added to improve the taste, smell and physical appearance properties of the product prototype which was yellowish-green.  The analysis of the chemical properties found no heavy metals (Cd, As, and Pb) were observed (based on THAI community product standard, and demonstrated a moderate antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and total flavonoid content. The GC-MS profile of crude extracts analysis revealed the phytochemicals based on pharmacological action of essential oil, flavoring substance, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-bacterial, antidiabetic, antifungal and anti-cancer, respectively. The experimental results showed the pharmacological properties of the product prototype which can be a guideline for applying cannabis plants to other products. Further study on pathogen testing and product aging should be carried out to satisfy the quality of production.

This project has been developed out of a sense of social responsibility towards the community. While riding a bicycle can be enjoyable, accidents can and do happen. Due to its affordability, ease of maintenance, and versatility in traffic, many individuals in India choose to ride two-wheelers over cars. However, the accident rate for two-wheelers is much higher than that of four-wheelers, with motorcycles being particularly prone to fatal accidents. The primary goal this project to safety measures, secure the protection and well being of rider. This end, the system is designed to require the rider to wear a helmet and not have consumed alcohol before the motorbike will start. Alcohol verification is achieved through the use of an Alcohol sensor, while helmet detection is achieved using IR sensors. The security system is designed to send an alert to the homeowner's smartphone if any motion is detected in the house, which can be useful when they're away from home. Incorporating these features, the system aims to prevent accidents and keep the rider safe. Furthermore, in the event of an accident, the GSM technology will be used to notify the rider's family members. The accelerometer is used for accident detection, while the helmet and motorbike communicate wirelessly through the Inquire module.
Android based Attendance Management using QR Code

Until today, most of the lectures in universities are found still using the conventional methods of taking student’s attendance either by calling out the student names or by passing around an attendance sheet for students to sign conforming their presence. In addition to the time-consuming issue, such method is also at high risk of having students cheating about their attendance, especially in a large classroom. Therefore, a method of taking attendance by employing an application running the Android platform is proposed in this paper. This application once installed can be used to download the students list from a designated web server. Based on the downloaded list of students, the device will then act like a scanner to scan each of the students card one by one to confirm and verify the student’s presence. The device camera will act as a sensor that will read the QR code printed on the student’s card. The updated attendance list is then uploaded to an online database and can also be saved as a file to be transferred to a PC later on.

On any computer, there are two access points that can be used for remote access. One requires user credentials to connect while the other access point is also known as backdoor access point. It allows users to bypass security checks to log in. The backdoor is a simple executable that gets installed on the target computer to get a reverse shell if needed. There are several ways to create a backdoor to a computer. A savvy attacker can easily create a custom backdoor. Most of these custom backdoors are easily recognized as malicious files by Windows security system. To solve this problem, we have developed an advanced backdoor that works like a normal file but works like a backdoor. Once installed, the backdoor allows an attacker to retain access to the computer and make changes to it. Initially, access to the reverse shell obtained through the backdoor will have user privileges, and privilege escalation methods are used to access an administrator privilege shell. It is used to remotely access a computer using an RCE (Remote Code Execution) vulnerability
