Published: October 2020

This study aim to analyze the implementation of the simple principle of Complete Systematic Land Registration in guaranteeing civil rights. This research uses the socio-legal research method which is a research approach that is carried out directly from the community as the first source through field research from the relevant institute. Based on the research conducted, it can be concluded that the implementation of the simple principle at the research location has not run optimally because the legal language and technical language in the land registration procedure are difficult to understand by the community, so that it implies that a simple principle has not been created in the Systematic Complete Land Registration. Simple principles in regulations need to be concretized in technical regulations to interpret these simple principles so that there are no more obstacles in land registration procedures so as to guarantee legal certainty and ease in land registration.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk tentang implementasi asas sederhana Pendaftaran Tanah Sistematis Lengkap dalam menjamin hak keperdataan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode socio-legal research yaitu pendekatan penelitian yang dilakukan langsung dari masyarakat sebagai sumber pertama melalui penelitian lapangan dari instansi terkait. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa implementasi asas sederhana di lokasi penelitian belum berjalan secara optimal karena bahasa hukum dan bahasa teknis dalam prosedur pendaftaran tanah sulit dipahami oleh masyarakat, sehingga berimplikasi belum terciptanya asas sederhana dalam Pendaftaran Tanah Sistematis Lengkap. Asas sederhana dalam peraturan perlu dikonkretkan regulasi teknisnya untuk menafsirkan asas sederhana tersebut agar tidak terjadi lagi hambatan dalam prosedur pendaftaran tanah sehingga menjamin kepastian hukum serta kemudahan dalam pendaftaran tanah.

Authors: Costa Renato Pontes 
Published: October 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar algumas reflexões construídas no contexto de produção da educação popular no Brasil, nos anos 1960. Elas representam base fundante para a elaboração de conceitos e práticas nesse campo, incluindo a parte mais densa do pensamento freireano, expressa na Pedagogia do Oprimido. Para tanto, o artigo se concentra na contribuição dos movimentos de juventude católica, um grupo bastante representativo desse contexto, e nas práticas engendradas por eles no enfrentamento do grave e histórico problema do analfabetismo adulto no país. São apresentadas, ao final, três ideias-chave consideradas síntese das principais contribuições desse grupo, no período dos anos 1960, e que encontram eco na obra de Paulo Freire.
Predictors of Oral Anticoagulants Utilization in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Sankhi Sabina , Marasine Nirmal Raj , Lamichhane Rajendra , Dangi Nim Bahadur 
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance, increasing in prevalence with age. It is often associated with structural heart disease, although a substantial proportion of patients with AF have no detectable heart disease. Hemodynamic impairment and thromboembolic events related to AF result in significant morbidity, mortality, and cost. Several factors are associated with the prescription of oral anticoagulants. This review predicts the overall factors that are associated with oral anticoagulant utilization in patients with AF.
Methods: Literatures that analyze the predictors of oral anticoagulant utilization in atrial fibrillation were searched using PubMed and Google Scholar published in journals from 2003 to 2019. Eligibility, data extraction and quality assessment were followed by a narrative synthesis of data. An extensive search of recent literature was performed.
Results: Older age, comorbidities like hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, moderate to severe kidney disease, polypharmacy, higher stroke and bleeding risk, history of smoking and alcohol or substance abuse, and lower cost are predictors of warfarin utilization. Similarly, younger age, better kidney function with creatinine clearance at least 30 mL/min, no or lower risk of stroke and hemorrhage, no polypharmacy, less comorbidities, prescriptions by neurologists and cardiologist, people residing in countries with lower poverty rates, and high cost are potential predictors of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants utilization.
Conclusion: Our study suggests that knowing the predictors for anticoagulation utilization can improve medication appropriateness in arterial fibrillation patients.
Observing Materiality in Organizations
Authors: Royer Isabelle 
Published: October 2020

Research on materiality has grown rapidly over the past 10 years, highlighting the influence of physical artifacts and spaces in organizations, which had been overshadowed by discursive approaches. This body of research enriches our understanding of organizations in many areas including technology, decision-making, routines, learning, identity, culture, power, and institutions. However, researchers sometimes struggle to select methods suited to study materiality, as previous works have not been explicit in that respect. This article calls organizational researchers interested in physical environments – that is, artifacts and spaces – to integrate observation into their data collection. The first section presents a tripartite definition of the physical environment including activities, conceptions, and lived experiences. Ontological debates are introduced, and observation is proposed as a relevant method for studying materiality in organizational research. The second section presents observation techniques based on three approaches: observing materiality in actions, observing beyond seeing, and making participants observe. Each approach is mainly associated with one of the three components of materiality. The final section discusses the scope of observation techniques, suggests how to combine approaches, and flags difficulties associated with visual techniques.

Abstract
Effector memory (EM) CD8+ T cells expressing lower levels of IL-7R α (IL-7Rαlow) from healthy individuals are partly compromised in vitro, but the identity of these cells has remained unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that human IL-7Rαlow EM CD8+ T cells are naturally occurring anergic cells in vivo and impaired in proliferation and IL-2 production but competent in IFN-γ and TNF-α production, a state that can be restored by IL-2 stimulation. IL-7Rαlow EM CD8+ T cells show decreased expression of GATA3 and c-MYC and are defective in metabolic reprogramming toward glycolysis, a process required for the proliferation of T cells. However, IL-7Rαlow EM CD8+ T cells can proliferate with TCR stimulation in the presence of IL-2 and IL-15, suggesting that these cells can be restored to normality or increased activity by inflammatory conditions and may serve as a reservoir for functional immunity.

AbstractWandering spleen refers to a spleen that is ectopic in its location contrary to a normal spleen which rests in the left hypochondrium. Although it is a rare clinical entity seen in children, it can also be rarely seen in females of reproductive age group. We present one such case of wandering spleen which was misdiagnosed earlier as a sub-hepatic collection.
Decentralised Monitoring in Emerging Local Governments: An Analysis of Benefits and Constraining Factors in the Lawra Municipality, Ghana
Authors: Akanbang Bernard Afiik Akanpabadai , Bekyieriya Cosmas 
Published: October 2020

This paper contributes to the empirical literature on the benefits and constraining factors of monitoring in decentralised governments in emerging democratic governments. Decentralised monitoring has theoretically been recognised as providing comprehensive data for decentralised planning, quality service delivery, enhancing accountability, and assessing development interventions’ effectiveness at the local level. However, empirical evidence on its effectiveness in decentralised governance is still evolving. A case study design encompassing the conduct of 12 key informant interviews was used for the study. Findings show that monitoring supports early identification of problems for their quick resolution; enables shared learning; gives voice to community level stakeholders; checks the deviant behaviour of service providers and enhances efficiency in resource use. Inadequate staffing; scrawny knowledge and skills; derisory logistics; noncompliance to budget and calendar for monitoring and uncoordinated arrangements in project implementation constrained decentralised monitoring effectiveness. The evidence gathered support thetheoretical arguments for decentralised monitoring and adds to the list of constraining issues in the organisational, human resource and policy factors. The study recommends effervescent advocacy for building monitoring capacity at district level and nurturing political leadership as champions for monitoring in order to get hold of development effectiveness at the local level of governance.

Published: October 2020

Contamination of agricultural products with heavy metals in soil and air is considered as serious threat to the quality and safety of these products. Cars and vehicles are among the major sources of heavy metals such as lead, iron and copper in the environment surrounding roads and highways. According to carcinogenic and destructive effects of these elements on human health, the aim of this study is to measure the concentrations of lead, iron and copper resulting from the traffic of vehicles available in the soil and canola plants growing in the central regions of MAZANDARAN province in Iran. In this research, sampling was conducted randomly and the values of mentioned elements were measured using flame atomic absorption device according to standard methods. The results showed that the levels of lead, iron and copper elements were higher in canola plant samples, including root, aerial parts and seeds, compared with the respective cultivated soils. The results indicated that the contamination of canola plant with mentioned pollutants has been mostly through aerial parts compared to the soil.

Mapping Soil Erosion Sensitive Areas in Organic Matter Amended Soil Associations in the Ntabelanga area, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
Authors: Parwada Cosmas , van Tol Johan 
Published: October 2020

The study aims to map areas sensitive to erosion by water and rainfall erosivity after addition of organic matter (OM) in highly unstable soils. A soil association map was created using digital soil mapping methodology. Soil samples from six soil associations were incubated and analysed for several soil erodibility measures and inferred to the soil association map. Soil stabilization against soil erosion by use of OM was evaluated for 30 weeks under two simulated rainstorms, intermittent rainstorms (IR) and single rainstorm (SR). Rainfall erosivity (R-factor) was calculated from theduration of a rainstorm and the total amount of rainfall received under rainfall simulations. Erodibility factor (K-factor) was estimated using the soil OM content and texture. Largest area (40%) was covered by shallow soils and K-factor range of 0.0693-0.0778 t.ha.hha-1MJ-1mm-1. Largest (60.2%) area had a structural stability index of 0.8 and 42.7% of the area was covered by a dispersion ratio value range of 0.65-0.70. The area size with erosion rates of > 15 t/ha/yr was drastically reduced from 1 to 8 weeks after OM application thereafter gradually increased under both IR and SR. Soil erosion rates of < 5 t-1 ha-1 yr-1 and > 15 t-1 ha-1 yr-1 were most and least observed respectively under both storms. R-factor was higher under IR than SR and the smallest areas with soil erosion rates of > 15 t-1 ha-1 yr-1 contributed most to the lost soil. Organic matter confers soil resistance to erosion up to a certain period before losing its effectiveness. The study provided first assessment of erosion dynamics, basis for identifying conservation priorities which may be applicable in similar areas.

Quantitative Assessment of Land Cover Sensitivity to Desertification in Maigatari Local Government Area, Jigawa State, Nigeria
Authors: Ahmed A. , Abba S. , Siriki F. , Maman B. 
Published: October 2020

Desertification alludes to land degradation in arid, semi-arid and sub-humid regions resulting from various variables, counting climatic variations and human activities. When land degradation transpire within the world’s drylands. It regularly makes desert-like conditions. Land degradation occurs all over, but is characterized as desertification when it occurs within the drylands. The study employed adjusted MEDALUS methodology using eleven indicators rainfall, evapotranspiration, aridity, soil texture, soil depth, slope gradient, drainage density, plant cover, erosion protection, sensitivity desertification index and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Remote Sensing and GIS were the main techniques used in the indices computations and mapping. Thus, Shuttle Rader Topographic Map (SRTM) and Landsat 8 satellite imagery for the year 2019 with 30 meter resolution, captured in the month of August (rainy season), covering the study area were acquired from Global Land cover Facility (GLCF) University of Maryland. The study finds that the duration and intensity of rainfall is declining especially at the edge of the desert, extreme north and western part of the area. Rain quickly drained through infiltration and surface runoff which carried the little nutrients attached to the soil. Rainfall and climate is of arid type recording about 300-400mm of rainfall and the soil is low in organic matter content making it weak and less fertile and support only the cultivation of cereals and legumes. The study recommends that there is need to strengthen the laws and policies in controlling desertification and land degradation, establishment of shelterbelts to control desertification and act also as wind breakers and encourage the use of modern techniques such as drip irrigation to check the rate of infiltration and runoff.

Assessment of Antimicrobial Effect of Alcohol and Aqueous Extracts of <i>Garcinia kola </i>on <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli</i> and<i> Klebsiella pneumonia</i>
Authors: Banso A. , Banso B.F. , Koleola A.A. 
Published: October 2020

As a result of the development of resistance of microorganisms to older antimicrobial agents there is need for a search for new agents, which are effective for the treatment of infections. The crude aqueous and alcoholic extr acts of Garcinia kola fruits were assayed against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The results revealed that the plant extracts possess inhibitory effect against the microorganisms tested. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the plant extracts ranged between 20mg/ml and 45mg/ml. There was a change in the antibacterial activity of the test extracts on variation of temperature. The results obtained may suggest that the plant extract is thermal stable and could serve as a source of industrial drugs useful in chemotherapy of some microbial infections.
