The article deals with outcomes of the conducted research, which are valuable for the Armed Forces personnel of all levels involved in the ensuring the military automated control system (MACS) operation. The article is devoted to the urgent issue of efficiency evaluation of the MACS operation. The analysis of existing methods of efficiency evaluation of the MACS operation is conducted; the approaches to the definition of the MACS operation efficiency are analyzed. It was found inconsistencies in the existing methods of efficiency evaluation of the Military Automated Control System and principles of modern Automated Control System operation based on the analysis. The substantiation of the sustainability factor (criteria) as the main factor (criteria) of the efficiency of the aviation and air defense Automated Control System (ACS) operation is conducted in the article.
The usage the proposed factor to evaluate the efficiency of the MACS operation allows considering not only the network structural sustainability but also its own sustainability, taking into account the limited bandwidth of the communication system. This approach will help reduce the cost of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to lease digital streams.
Development of a Nursing Guideline for Improving Skin Integrity in High-Risk Infants
Authors: Ahn Young Mee , Lee Sang Mi , Cho Jung Ae 
Published: April 2020

Background:
High-risk infants are highly susceptible to skin impairment caused by invasive procedures, radiant warmers, and phototherapy, in addition to their intrinsic vulnerability. This leads to a vicious cycle that aggravates the risk of skin infections. Concerns have been raised that neonatal nurses may lack knowledge regarding feasible guidelines to improve skin integrity of high-risk newborns.

Method:
A clinical guideline was developed for neonatal skin care practices based on skin physiology, and its educational effects on the knowledge and confidence of neonatal nurses was evaluated. A booklet was developed on skin care practice guidelines divided into topics determined through a nationwide survey.

Results:
Using a quasi-experimental design with 46 neonatal nurses, education with this booklet improved nurses' knowledge of skin care practices but not their confidence.

Conclusion:

These findings highlight the importance of implementing a tailored systematic program rather than a single educational session on skin care in high-risk infants for neonatal nurses.

Optimizing Visual Performance With Digitally Assisted Vitreoretinal Surgery
Authors: González-Saldivar Gerardo , Chow David R. 
Published: April 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Evaluate depth of field (DOF) and lateral resolution (LR) on digitally assisted vitreoretinal surgery (DAVS) with different camera aperture values and TV viewing distances to determine maximal optical performance.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Five retinal surgeons objectively evaluated DOF and LR at low (10×), medium (15×), and high (20×) magnification on a conventional microscope (CM) and DAVS. DAVS was evaluated at different camera apertures (30%, 50%, and 75%) and TV viewing distances (1.2 meters [m], 1.5 m, and 2.0 m). A comparison between CM and optimized DAVS values was carried out.

RESULTS:

On DAVS, DOF significantly increased as camera aperture size was reduced (75% to 50%,
P
= .022; 75% to 30%,
P
≤ .001; and 50% to 30%,
P
= .001) and as microscope magnification was reduced (high to medium,
P
= .009; high to low,
P
≤ .001; and medium to low,
P
= .002). LR significantly increased as microscope magnification was increased (low to medium,
P
= .010; low to high,
P
≤ .001; and medium to high,
P
= .015) and as TV display distance decreased (2.0 m to 1.5 m,
P
= .019; 2.0 m to 1.2 m,
P
= .009; and 1.5 m to1.2 m,
P
= .185). When comparing optimized DAVS against CM, DOF was significantly larger on DAVS (
P
= .019). LR on DAVS outperformed the CM, but statistical significant was not reached (
P
= .185).

CONCLUSIONS:
The authors' study is the first to evaluate different aperture, magnification, and TV distance settings, and when optimized, DAVS can significantly outperform a CM with respect to DOF and LR. Optimized visual performance for DAVS is obtained with a 30% camera aperture and a TV viewing distance no further than 1.5 m. Maximal microscope magnification to exploit LR during macular surgery and low-to-medium magnification to increase DOF for overall vitrectomy surgery is recommended.

Remédier à la crise économique dans la principauté des Nguyễn : un placet vietnamien de la fin du xviiie siècle
Authors: Poisson Emmanuel 
Published: April 2020

La crise dans la principauté des Nguyễn (Đàng Trong 塘中, Nam Hà 南河 ou Cochinchine selon les textes) située dans le centre et le sud du Việt Nam actuel peut être appréhendée à travers un placet de 1770 du lettré Ngô Thế Lân 吳世璘 adressé à Nguyễn Phúc Thuần 阮福淳 (r. 1765‑1775), dixième et ultime seigneur de la lignée des Nguyễn. Les dérèglements monétaires, la pression fiscale et la corruption bureaucratique conjuguées aux fléaux naturels - telles que les inondations à partir du milieu du xviiie siècle - stimulent le mécontentement populaire. Toutefois, la solution traditionnaliste que prône l’auteur – le recours à un outil de régularisation des prix institué par les Han au milieu du Ier siècle avant notre ère - n’est pas à la mesure d’une crise qui, loin de se limiter à la monnaie, touche l’économie et la société dans son ensemble.
La Station Nation du RER A. Un patrimoine souterrain
Authors: Labrunye Raphaël , Lescure Raphaël 
Published: April 2020

Dans le contexte actuel de démarrage des travaux du futur métro Grand Paris Express, la RATP initie de lourds travaux de modernisation des gares du RER A. Face à ce patrimoine singulier, soucieuse de ne pas réitérer des destructions antérieures, elle initie une démarche singulière avec la création d’un conseil scientifique du patrimoine. Une étude historique a été menée dans ce cadre sur les gares du tronçon central, traversant Paris intra-muros jusqu’à La Défense, et plus particulièrement sur la station Nation, œuvre de l’architecte Alain Bourbonnais. A la fin des années 1960, la RATP s’est trouvée confrontée à un chantier d’ampleur inédite, modifiant radicalement les échelles et les problématiques jusqu’alors traitées lors de la réalisation des lignes de métro. L’ambition était de réaliser une infrastructure de transport d’un grand confort, ouverte à toutes les classes sociales. Poursuivant ce qu’elle avait engagé sur quelques cas isolés, la RATP s’entoure d’architectes-conseils qui sont les concepteurs d’une nouvelle esthétique du transport métropolitain. Les innovations sont partout, du système de validation (création de la carte orange) aux revêtements en émaux de briare, en passant par l’introduction d’œuvres d’art, de boutiques pour créer un véritable urbanisme souterrain. Écartés des phases de conception d’ingénierie du gros œuvre, les architectes tentent comme ils peuvent de s’adapter à une structure hypertrophiée, conçue pour gérer des flux très importants. Il en résulte une œuvre tout à fait originale qui est restée, dans l’ensemble, dans son état d’origine. La situation souterraine impose cependant la dépose intégrale des décors existants ; le chantier de rénovation est un défi à l’intervention patrimoniale telle que pratiquée à l’air libre.
The Role of Women towards Political Participation in Nigeria
Authors: Suleiman Ibrahim 
Published: April 2020

This study investigates the factors that limit women’s participation in Nigeria’s politics using case study period between 1999 and 2015, among these factors are socioeconomic development, the country’s cultural heritage, historical legacies and institutional designs. The study employs secondary source as a method ofdata collection. The study reveals that the patriarchal system and male domination of the society, which relegates women to subordinate role, has created women’s inferiority complex and alienated them from the mainstream politics in Nigeria. The Nigerian political culture of thuggery and gangsterism has made the political terrain too dangerous for most women to venture into mainstream politics. Besides, the stigmatization of women politicians by fellow women discourages the political participation of the former while religious beliefs and institutional arrangements that restrict women to family responsibilities in the country coupled with lack of genuine and decisive affirmative action to encourage women’s political participation, have created a legacy that limit women’s political participation in the country as a whole. Consequently, the study emphasizes the need to address those factors that entrench women subordination in Nigeria’s politics. These include, among others, the reformation of all religious, statutory and customary laws and practices that perpetuate women’s subordination in the country and the explicit specifications and modalities of affirmative actions on women’s political participation and clear guidelines for implementations in the Nigeria constitution.

Financial Structure and Economic Growth: The Nigerian Experience, 1980-2017
Authors: Nkoro Emeka , Uko Aham Kelvin 
Published: April 2020

This study investigated the role of financial structure in explaining economic growth dynamics in Nigeria using annual time series from 1981-2017. The study employed the vector error correction model (VECM) in the analysis of the data. As lead up to financial structure and economic growth relationship analysis, the competing theoretical views of bank and market based financial system and economic growth were explored. The result of the study showed that economic growth, financial development variables and the underlying control variables are cointegrated. The result of the economic growth effect of financial development showed that stock market and bank-based have a significant effect on growth. This implies that both bank-based and market-based matter in explaining economic growth dynamics. On the relationship between financial structure and economic growth, the study revealed that economic growth, financial structure and the underlying control variables have a long run relationship. The study also revealed that financial structure which captures the combination of stock market-based and bank-based has a positive significant effect on growth. A significant coefficient of financial structure implies that financial structure matters in explaining growth. Therefore, the study posits that the overall financial structure is the most useful way to assess the financial systems since both bank and stock market system matter in explaining economic growth as against bank-based versus market-based debate. Based on the empirical evidence, the study therefore recommends that there should be continuous holistic reforms of both banking and stock market simultaneously, as the development in one sector has a neglect effect on the other.

Public Debt Spiral in Nigeria: Can a Structural Gap Result From Pervasive Corruption?
Authors: Fagbemi Fisayo , Olatunde Olufemi Solomon 
Published: April 2020

It is increasingly recognized that good understanding on the corruption-related causes and remedies of the modern fiscal crisis would bolster informed decisions and key governance standards. Many of the governance weaknesses have been exacerbated by ingrained fiscal indiscipline and lack of effective bureaucratic provisions. These concerns necessitate ongoing research efforts aimed at galvanizing the best compilation of perspectives on the role of public institutions in debt accumulation process. Hence, this study examines the long run and short run effect of corruption on public debt in Nigeria over the period of 1996 to 2017 using ARDL bound test to cointegration analysis. Empirical evidence reveals that both corruption index and control of corruption have an insignificant adverse effect on public debt in the long run, but with a significant influence in the short run. Considering the long-term implication, current anti-corruption efforts might be ineffective in enhancing strategic monitoring and sustainable fiscal standards. Nonetheless, it is emphasized that effective corruption control measures could mitigate spiralling incidence of government debt. Further findings indicate that there exists bi-directional causality between corruption index and public debt, whereas none is found between control of corruption and public debt. The study suggests that strong corruption-based control mechanisms are fundamentals to decreasing fiscal deficits and debt reduction. Overall, a significant insight distills from the study is that the goal of attaining global financial stability and fiscal sustainability through sound regulatory framework has embodied the provisions that enhance corruption-reducing measures and institutional standards to curb persistent debt accumulation.
The Relationships of Expectancy, Instrumentality and Valence for Motivation in Self-Employment: A Mediation of Entrepreneurial Motivation in Nigeria
Authors: Adamu Muhammad , Abdu Shakur Mahani Mohammad 
Published: April 2020

The aim of this article is to investigate the motivation of potential entrepreneurs toward the realization of a new business creation. Universally, it is evident that the motivation of potential entrepreneur stem from both the individual factors and the environment matched together to trigger entrepreneurial motivation. The Vroom’s Expectancy Motivation Theory explains self-employment in terms of an individual’s motivation and ability to start a business. Businesses are created by those with the motivation and capability to realize it. Based on the Vroom’s expectancy motivation theory (1964), the new business start-up specific expectancy, instrumentality and valence are key components of entrepreneurial motivation and this translates into the efforts, behavior sand performance that would in the end lead to a new business start-up among the potential entrepreneurs. The methodology used in this research was based on a positivist philosophy that entails a deductive approach with a quantitative technique through a cross-sectional survey. The data were collected with a questionnaire as an instrument for the survey. To attain the objectives of this research, the data of this study were analyzed using PLS-SEM Path Algorithms, Bootstrap path coefficients and Sobel test statistics. The statistical significance of relevant path coefficients that are fundamental in measuring self-employment among potential entrepreneurs were assessed and evaluated. The results confirm the supposition that expectancy, instrumentality and valence enhance entrepreneurial motivation for a new business start-up. Furthermore, external factors such as vocational training, machinery/equipment and ICT’s were also significantly found to exert an impact on the potential entrepreneur’s new venture creation.

Assets and Liabilities Management in Islamic Banking
Authors: Bidabad Bijan , Allahyarifard Mahmoud 
Published: April 2020

Purpose: In this paper, we are going to consider assets and liabilities management (ALM) structure and instrument in Islamic banking. Since in Islamic banking depositors take partnership in benefits of the bank, so Islamic banking follows to maximizing benefits of beneficiaries and among them depositors. Therefore, there are dissimilarities between ALM approaches in Islamic banking and conventional banking. First, this dissimilarity comes from differences in the accounting system in Islamic banking in comparison to conventional banking. Secondly, usury illegalness and its related jurisprudence specifications indicate that time is not the solely the effective factor on increasing equity (deposited capital) return; but profit and loss sharing resulted from investment in the real economy sector is the essential base in monetary transactions. These two important factors are considerable factors in Islamic ALM.
Design/methodology/approach: we consider influence specifications of these factors in two banking approaches for creating Economic Value Added (EVA).
Findings: Comparison of financial indices for the two types of banking leads us that Islamic banking is more efficient than conventional banking.

Authors: Jacob Byyiyet Josiah , Ishaya Yusha’u , Innocent Idachaba Odekina 
Published: April 2020

The low level of Capital formation in Nigeria has been blamed on the low level of savings occasioned by the low income level and high level of consumption which reduce the ability of banks to create money through intermediation. This study investigates the effect of deposit mobilization and credit financing of commercial banks on capital formation in Nigeria. Gross fixed capital formation was used as proxy for dependent variable, while credit to private sectors, lending rate and Total deposit liabilities were used as proxies of independent variables. The study employed time series quarterly data from Q1 1980 to Q4 2015, which constitutes 48 observations. Multiple regression techniques were used to analyze the data. The study found that (LRN and TDL) have positive impact on GFCF of Nigeria while credit to private sector has an inverse relationship with GDP. In view of this finding, the study recommended that Nigeria commercial banks should re-direct their intermediation activities effectively.

Light Chain Cast Nephropathy Presenting With Asymptomatic Proteinuria
Authors: BOZACI İlter , TATAR Erhan , TAŞLI Funda 
Published: April 2020

Kidney disease is a common complication of monoclonal gammopathies including multiple myeloma. Patients with multiple myeloma and other monoclonal gammopathies can present with a variety of kidney manifestations that depend upon the pathologic monoclonal proteins involved and the compartments of the kidney that are targeted. The most common clinical findings include acute or subacute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease (CKD) , albuminuria or nephrotic syndrome and electrolyte abnormalities. The spectrum of kidney impairment ranges from mild to severe acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring hemodialysis. Most patients presenting with AKI have light chain cast nephropathy. 58 year old female patient was referred to our clinic due to proteinuria. We aimed to represent a light chain cast nephropathy patient presenting with asymptomatic, non-nephrotic range proteinuria and whom were eventually treated with autologous stem cell transplantation. Light chain cast nephropathy should be kept in mind at the differantial diagnosis of patients presenting with asymptomatic non-nephrotic range proteinuria especially whom were treated with anti-proteinuric medications. Kidney biopsy should not be deferred during the diagnostic process.
