ESE and EASE call for high standards of research and editing
Authors: Bazdaric Ksenija , Smart Pippa 
Published: April 2020

The world has changed in the past few months in a way most of us could not imagine. The words &ldquo;novel corona virus&rsquo;&rsquo; (SARS-CoV-2), &ldquo;COVID-19&rsquo;&rsquo;, &ldquo;prevention&rdquo;, &ldquo;flattening the curve&rsquo;&rsquo; and&nbsp;&ldquo;hand washing&rsquo;&rsquo; have become constant references within the&nbsp;daily news reports of mortality rates, the lack of equipment&nbsp;and possible therapies. The novel corona virus (SARS-CoV-2),&nbsp;which was first identified in the Chinese province of Hubei,&nbsp;has led to a pandemic&nbsp;and the whole scientific community, both in the public and privately-financed sector, is searching for an effective therapy as well as for a vaccine. All scientists (clinicians, epidemiologists, virologists, and public health&nbsp;experts) are under great pressure to give advice on matters where there is still no evidence.
We are used to reading fake&nbsp;news and non-filtered information in the media, but are we&nbsp;ready for similar occurrences in science journals?
Proposed universal framework for more user-friendly author instructions
Authors: Ufnalska Sylwia , Terry Alison 
Published: April 2020

When preparing a scientific manuscript for submission to a journal, it is often time-consuming to find the journal's specific preferences, which can influence acceptance. We propose that journals include a simple table at the start of their instructions for authors, clearly displaying the essential information, e.g. word count, number of keywords, format of tables and figures. Such a table could be also easily updated as journal preferences change. Thanks to this, the submitted articles would be more likely to meet the basic requirements. We hope this initiative will save time for everyone involved in scientific publishing.
Ce que la guerre fait à l’institution : l’école primaire en France autour du premier conflit mondial
Authors: Saint-Fuscien Emmanuel 
Published: April 2020

Et si, non seulement la pédagogie nouvelle déployée dans l’Europe des années 1920 et 1930 mais aussi l’évolution institutionnelle de l’école au xxe siècle devaient quelque chose aux expériences scolaires du temps de la Première Guerre mondiale ? Voici la question posée dans cet article qui prétend aborder conjointement la façon dont l’école représente la guerre et celle dont la guerre transforme l’école. Il s’agit ici d’interroger les transformations des pratiques pédagogiques et des interactions au sein de l’école du temps de guerre mais aussi d’interroger les reconfigurations du temps de la paix retrouvée.
Le Comité Vansittart et les débuts de la France libre
Authors: de Fouchécour Clotilde 
Published: April 2020

Un document britannique encore inédit conservé au Churchill Archives Centre à Cambridge apporte des éléments nouveaux sur les débuts de la France libre. Il s’agit des comptes rendus d’un comité officieux réunissant de proches conseillers de Churchill entre le 21 juin et le 8 juillet 1940 : parmi eux, Desmond Morton, conseiller du Premier ministre pour le renseignement ; Robert Vansittart du Foreign Office et Edward Louis Spears, Membre du Parlement. Jean Monnet est le seul Français à y avoir participé. Ce document met à jour les efforts déployés pour empêcher la création d’un gouvernement en exil français et maintenir le contact avec des éléments français restés à leur poste, prémices d’une politique à deux niveaux que l’on pourrait presque qualifier de « vichysso-gaulliste ».
Mesurer la qualité pour transformer l’hôpital ?
Authors: Bertillot Hugo 
Published: April 2020

Depuis le début des années 2000, les pouvoirs publics français déploient des instruments d’évaluation de la qualité dans les établissements de santé. En procédant à la déconstruction sociotechnique des « indicateurs de qualité », cet article analyse une discrète entreprise de quantification. Mesurant des dimensions peu conflictuelles de la qualité, nourris de savoirs pluriels, équivoques dans leurs usages, les indicateurs de qualité sont suffisamment doux pour ne pas brusquer les professionnels, tout en étant suffisamment robustes pour instiller discipline et auditabilité. Au nom de la qualité, cette technologie de gouvernement est ainsi équipée pour rationaliser l’hôpital en douceur.

Authors: Yong Jinsun (Sr. Julianna) , Park Junyang (Fr. John) , Park Yonggyu , Lee Hun , Lee Gyungjoo , Rim Sunyoung 
Published: April 2020

Background:
Nurses experience poor quality of life due to workload and role stress. In this study, a spirituality-based intervention was administered to nurse managers.

Method:
A total of 45 nurse managers participated in the study; 24 were assigned to the experimental group, and 21 were assigned to a control group. The Holy Name Meditation Program was provided solely to the experimental group. Pretest, posttest 1 (5 weeks after the intervention), posttest 2 (12 weeks after the intervention), and posttest 3 (24 weeks after the intervention) data were gathered on seven variables, including spiritual well-being, spiritual needs, job satisfaction, leadership, burnout, depression, and self-efficacy.

Results:

The experimental group showed significant improvement in spiritual well-being (
p
< .001), spiritual needs (
p
= .029), and job satisfaction (
p
= .005) until the 24-week follow-up. Burnout (
p
< .001), depression and anxiety (
p
= .034), and self-efficacy (
p
= .024) showed significant improvement until the 12-week follow-up. Depression and anxiety (
p
= .053) showed decreasing tendency until the 24-week follow-up.

Conclusion:

Evidence suggests this program promotes spiritual and psychosocial well-being of nurse managers.

Authors: Babiuch Amy S. , Uchida Atsuro , Hu Ming , Khan Mehnaz , Srivastava Sunil K. , Singh Rishi P. , Kaiser Peter K. , Rachtiskaya Aleksandra , Reese Jamie L. , Ehlers Justis P. 
Published: April 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To compare optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) capillary perfusion density (CPD) measurements of normal eyes and eyes with macular ischemia (MI).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
AVATAR is an institutional review board-approved, prospective, observational imaging study using the Avanti RTVue XR HD. OCTA reports were reviewed for the presence of MI. Qualitative MI grading was performed, and CPD metrics in the superficial and deep fovea and parafovea were analyzed. A normal eye cohort was identified for comparative assessment.

RESULTS:

The MI and normal cohorts included 55 and 58 eyes, respectively. Compared to normal eyes, eyes with MI had significantly lower CPD values in all regions. There was a statistically significant correlation between qualitative MI grade and VA in the superficial (
P
= .003) and deep plexuses (
P
= .029). Only deep parafoveal CPD values demonstrated correlation with VA (
P
= .043).

CONCLUSIONS:
Eyes with MI determined by masked qualitative OCTA grading demonstrated significantly reduced CPD values compared to normal eyes. Categorical assessment of MI severity correlated with VA.

Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy for Radiation Retinopathy
Authors: Rayess Nadim , Mruthyunjaya Prithvi 
Published: April 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this article is to review the role of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy in treating patients with radiation retinopathy (RR).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
RR can be associated with a significant decrease in visual acuity (VA) related to the development of cystoid macular edema, macular ischemia, and proliferative retinopathy leading to neovascular glaucoma.

RESULTS:
Anti-VEGF therapy is effective at stabilizing VA in around 80% of patients and achieving reductions in central macular thickness when it is administered using a constant algorithm. Furthermore, consistent prophylactic anti-VEGF therapy reduces the risk of development of RR, neovascularization of the iris, and neovascularization glaucoma.

CONCLUSION:
Future studies are needed to determine the optimal regimen for anti-VEGF therapy according to patient risk factors and likelihood of developing RR.

The Path to Inclusive Growth in Nigeria: Are People with Disabilities Carried Along?
Authors: Okon Emmanuel O. 
Published: April 2020

The growing disconnect between the improving macro-economic indicators and the growing descent into poverty of over 170 million Nigerians is clearly anindicative of the fact that economic growth in Nigeria is non-inclusive as the country may have only attained what is known as growth without development. Using a purely descriptive and analytical methodology, this paper shows that inclusive growth is the growth that generates employment opportunities and reduces the depth and severity of the incidence of poverty. However, people with disability have in many cases been denied of job opportunities in Nigeria. This paper argues that the country cannot have inclusive growth unless disability is made an integral part of her growth. Considering that the economic inclusion of people with disabilities is a cross-cutting issue, successful results require complementary activities in multiple sectors. However, inclusion of people with disabilities in work/employment can lead to greater economic self-sufficiency. Though it should not be promoted as the only option for economic inclusion, self-employment can be a good alternative, especially in a country like Nigeria where there is a general dearth of opportunities for formal sector jobs. In that regard, this paper suggests that microfinance institutions should extend credit and other financial services for self-employment of people with disabilities. Better still, specialized microfinance should be established for people with disabilities to provide supporting or complementary services.
Economic System and Environment: Co-Composting Effect of Prosopis Africana and Cow Dung
Authors: George Oladipo, Dayo , Okon Emmanuel Okokondem 
Published: April 2020

An economic system is comprised of the various processes of organizing and motivating labor, producing, distributing, and circulating of the fruits of human labor, including products and services, consumer goods, machines, tools, and other technology used as inputs to future production, and the infrastructure within and through which production, distribution, and circulation occurs. Natural environment refers to climate, weather, and natural resources that affect human survival and economic activity. The natural environment is an important component of the economic system, and without the natural environment the economic system will not be able to function. Hence, in recent years economists have started treating the natural environment in the same way as they treat labor and capital as an asset and a resource. Composting is a biological conversion of heterogeneous organic substrate under controlled conditions, into a hygienic, humus rich and relatively bio-stable product that conditions soil and nourishes plants. The use of compost as a soil conditioner, a fertilizer, or a growth medium has, of course, significant environmental benefits. However, there are also negative impacts on the environment associated with making and using compost. The overall aim of this study is to understand the physicochemical changes such as temperature, conductivity, pH, loss in weight and moisture content that occur during the co-composting of Prosopis Africana shell with cow dung and to assess the way in which these factors influence the quality of the resulting compost and the environment.

Authors: Oladele Olaseni Abayomi , Sylvester Okhakhume Aide 
Published: April 2020

The care of mentally retarded children is often stressful experiences for family members, as the child grows up and disability becomes quite noticeable by others, parents face a very distressing predicament of social embarrassment and stigma, they require more attention and time while at the same time the need for special equipment, and medical care increases; implicating financial income and capability of the care providers. The aftermath effect on the care provider(s) most often is restrictive and disruptive to economic, social or emotional deficiency. The study examines the influence of socio-demographic variables on care burden of care providers of non-mentally and mentally retarded students in Ibadan metropolis. The study adopted cross sectional research design across types of job, social support, religion, ethnicity and age. A total number of 100 care providers participated in the study (50 care providers of non-mentally retarded students & 50 care providers of the mentally retarded students). The instruments that were used was Care Givers Burden Scale developed by Zarit et al (1980). The result of the study revealed that demographic variables (age, sex, marital status, education level, job type, religion and ethnicity) do not jointly predict burden of care among care providers of mentally retarded students in Ibadan metropolis. [F(7,43)=1.722;p>.05], but revealed that demographic variables jointly predict burden of care among care providers of non-mentally retarded students in Ibadan metropolis. [F(7,43)=2.39;p<.05], and finally revealed that social support had significant influence on burden of care among care providers of mentally retarded students in Ibadan metropolis [t(98)= 11.13; P<.05]. The study therefore concludes that demographic variables jointly predict burden of care among care providers of non-mentally retarded students not mentally retarded students. While social support was found to significantly influence burden of care among care providers of mentally retarded students in Ibadan metropolis.
Dividend Decision and Economic Value Added of Quoted Nigeria Manufacturing Firms
Authors: Michael Agilebu Ogechi 
Published: April 2020

This study examined the effect dividend decision and economic value added of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The objective is to examine if dividend decision have any effect on economic valued added of the Nigeria firms. Cross sectional data was sourced from financial statement of 15 quoted manufacturing firms. Economic valued added was proxy for dependent variables while dividend yield, dividend payout ratio, retention ratio and dividend per share were proxy for predictor variables. After cross examination of the validity of the pooled effect, fixed effect and the random effect, the study accepts the fixed effect model. Findings revealed that75 percent variation from the fixed effect results on economic value added of the manufacturing firms. Beta coefficient of the predictor variables found that dividend yield have negative effect on economic value added while dividend per share, dividend payout ratio and retention ratio has positive and significant effect on economic value added of the quoted manufacturing firms. It’s therefore recommend that constant dividend decision should be maintained among the quoted manufacturing firms and retention forms should be properly invested and the investment environment should be well managed to increase economic value added through the dividend decision channel.
Electro-Optical Simulation Of In Ultra-Thin Photonic Crystal Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells
Authors: Merabti Abdelhak , Bensliman Abdelkader , Habab Mahmoud 
Published: April 2020

Hydrogenated amorphous Si (a-Si:H) is an important solar cell material. The critical problem in the a-Si:H-based photovoltaic cell is increasing the conversion efficiency. To overcome the difficulty, higher conversion efficiency demands a longer optical path to increase optical absorption. Thus, a light trapping structure is needed to obtain more efficient absorption. In this context, we propose a complete solar cell structure for which a 1D grating is etched into the ultrathin active absorbing layer of a one-dimensional "CP 1D" photonic crystal a-Si: H characterized by the optimal parameters: period a = 480 nm, a filling factor ff = 50% and a depth d = 150 nm. This was selected by varying the CP1D parameters to maximize the absorption integrated into the active layer. CP1D is suggested as an intermediate layer in the solar cell concentration system. This study allowed us to model the optical and electrical behavior of a CP1D solar cell. After optimization of the geometrical parameters (period and fill factor ... etc.), we concluded that the CP1D led to greater optical gains than for their unstructured equivalent. The simulation clearly illustrates that the electric field strongly affects the electro-optical characteristics of the devices studied, and that it is clear that 1D PC solar cells as active layer have exhibited a high electric field distribution. We have focused on the net on the effect of the active layer and its beneficial role in the sense of expressing the photovoltaic performance of the devices.

Authors: Awurdi Asabe Pera , Mohammed Rabiu Nurudeen 
Published: April 2020

This study investigates entrepreneurship skills and awareness among library and information science students at Bauchi metropolitan universities. Nigerian government and relevant stakeholders emphasized on the development of entrepreneurship skills and awareness among undergraduate students at universities, polytechnic and colleges of education. This led to setting up agencies like small and medium scale enterprises (SMEDAN), Industrial Training Fund (ITF) and Entrepreneurship centers and clubs in most Nigerian colleges and universities. Hence, it becomes necessary to equip library and information science students with skills required to achieve self-reliance. Bauchi State is one of the 36 States in Nigeria located in the North East Region of the country with only two public universities, ATBU and BASUG. In these universities, library and information science is offered as a degree course. This study uses Primary data where questionnaire was employ as the tool of data collection. Frequencies and Percentages was used to analyzed the respondents questions asked while the chi-square X2 analysis was employ to test the stated hypothesis. The result of the study shows that library and information science students are equip with entrepreneurship skills and awareness at Bauchi metropolitan universities. This study therefore conclude that library and information science students are equip with entrepreneurship skills and awareness in the Nigerian universities as it is seen in Bauchi metropolitan universities. The study recommends that relevant stakeholders including government and corporate world should continue to support and promote entrepreneurship skills and awareness among all students of universities in order to brace them up with the challenges in the labour market after graduation. Priorities should also be given to students to undertake practical trainings courses in entrepreneurship areas and students should be encourage carrying out practical assignments and projects based on real life problems pertaining entrepreneurship skills.
Women’s Rights in Afghanistan: From Muslims’ Perspective
Authors: Afghan Omid 
Published: April 2020

Considering the logic of evolution of societies, the calamitous situation of women can be both changed and controlled. With the emergence of Islam, issue of women was more deeply raised in religious and intellectual discussions. At a time when having a daughter considered a shame on Arab families, a religion emerged after which assigned key social, political and even economic rights for women. Holy Quran says there is no superiority of nations over nations, races over races and men over women unless by divine piety and good action. One of the emphatic rules of Islam is that acquiring knowledge is an obligatory act for both men and women. On the issue of education secondary data shows that most people believe Islam and Shari'a not only emphasize that girls and women should acquire Islamic education (98%), but they allow women and girls to study all levels of formal educational system. Unfortunately said, in Afghanistan, more women are scarified by men’s decisions.
