Islamisation And Democratic Transition In The Post- Revolution Egypt
Authors: Abubakar Ghazali Bello 
Published: April 2020

Purpose of the study:Centrally, this article aims at exploring the effects of the convulsion toward Egyptian domestic politics and democratic transition. However, it tries to examine whether the spring was for a political freedom or a merely evasive move to saddle brotherhood on governorship.
Methodology:Qualitative data analysis is the approach applied while carrying out this study. Various books, journals and research reports on Egyptian as well as Middle Eastern politics were consulted as sources of information. Current political events in Egypt and other neighboring countries were followed.
Findings:It concludes that democratizing a dominantly Arab and Islamic nation such as Egypt seldom hit the target. More so, the spring’s ends those were meant for better Egypt have not yet been achieved.
Application:This research is useful especially for students or readers want specialize on Egyptian or Middle Eastern politics from the shadow of political changes in the region.
Novelty/Originality:The jasmine revolution witnessed across the Middle East and North Africa is the subject matter of this study. The Middle East region, which is the focusing area of this research was popularly dominated by tyrant leaderships especially in the pre-revolution time. This study finds its originality from the fact that lack of freedom and political rights galvanized anger among the Arab youths: from Tunisia to almost all over the region. However, this contributes to the scary literature related to this area speciafically democratic transition that happened for the first time in Egypt.

Published: April 2020

Purpose: The danger inherent in anchoring the growth prospects of an economy on a single product has long been established and for decades now, Nigeria has remained a mono-product economy with all her foreign exchange earning possibilities anchored only on oil revenue. The paper sought to investigate the imperatives of gender equality in expanding the economic base of Nigeria.
Methodology: Based on the assumption of increasing returns to scale for the manufacturing sector and constant returns to scale for the primary sector, it apparently follows that a country’s manufacturing output will grow faster (or slower) than that of the rest of the world if it had an initial comparative advantage in manufacturing (or primary) sector as hypothesized by the Prebisch-Singer Hypothesis. Employing Engel-Granger and Error Correction Model in an endogenous growth framework were used in this study.
Main Findings: This study found that the existing gender inequality has negative effect on the drive to diversify the economy by reducing the potential pool of human capital and promoting gaps in opportunities.
Applications: These programmes will help on female self-employment, increased ratio of female to male labour force participation rate and a reduction in the ratio of female to male in vulnerable employment should be included in policy formulations.
Novelty/Originality: The efforts should be sustained that totally remove or reduce to their barest minimum all patriarchal tendencies that exploit the female gender and place them at unequal gender relations. It is also recommended that social institutions such as social protection mechanisms should be entrenched as an avenue to reduce the vulnerabilities faced by women.

Authors: Ayalew Negesse Asnake 
Published: April 2020

Purpose of the study: One of the modus operandi of criminals such as terrorist, emotional, mentally ill person to achieve their need is held person hostage, especially government officials, investors, and tourists. The police also used to force to secure peace and security, but now the police use the hostage negotiation team to save the life of hostage-taker and hostage. These hostage-takers take innocent hostage persons as means of negotiation, which may terrorize everybody, such as an investor, tourist, and vulnerable group, which have a negative impact on the development and peace of the country. Additionally, the right to life is the mother of other human rights. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the practice of hostage situation and its resolution
Methodology: Data were collected through document review and interviews of police and victim, who were selected purposively since they have direct relation. This is desktop research and descriptive design. The data were collected through document review and media review. The collected data were analyzed thematically.
Finding: The result of the analysis data shows that there is a hostage situation in Ethiopia, and the response of the police is the use of force than the negotiation team.
Application: The police should establish a hostage negotiation department with professional negotiators. The governments also should enact negotiation policy and strategy in Ethiopia.
Novelty/Originality: There is a hostage situation, and its resolution lacks clear guidelines in Ethiopia, and nobody studied it. Therefore, this study may use as reference material for students'; the government may use it as input for policy and lawmakers.

Authors: Ayalew Negesse Asnake 
Published: April 2020

Purpose of the study: The police have the responsibility of balancing the protection of the public from harm with respecting the human right of the suspect during the prevention and investigation of crimes. However; it is difficult to strike absolute balances since it is determined based on government police is due process or crime control model especially the case of special investigation techniques, which are the covert means of investigation of serious crime and criminals based on the principles of legality, necessity, proportionality, and adequate safeguard. The purpose of this doctrinal article is to evaluate the role of special crime investigation techniques for drug trafficking in Ethiopia.
Methodology: Data were collected through document review and interview crime investigators, who were selected purposively since they have a direct relation. This is qualitative research and descriptive design. The collected data were analyzed thematically.
Findings: The findings of this research revealed that there are some provisions of special investigation techniques in FDRE criminal justice policy, anti-human trafficking, and smuggling of migrant proclamation. However, these legal bases are not comprehensive such as the types of special investigation techniques, who conduct it, and how long the requirements to conduct these were not answered.
Application: Therefore, the house of people representative should enact all-inclusive law on special investigation techniques for human trafficking in Ethiopia. The general attorney also should create awareness to the public about it.
Novelty: Human trafficking investigation is challenging ous in Ethiopia, and nobody studied it. Therefore, this study may use as reference material for students’; the government may use it as input for policy and lawmakers.

Published: April 2020

Background:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders which share the common phenotype of hyperglycemia that occurs due to defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or sometimes both. Herbomineral formulations can be the alternative for contemporary synthetic oral hypoglycemic agents due to their potency, suitability, and negligible side effects. Makaradhwaja is one of those potent antidiabetic drugs used in Ayurved.

Objectives:
To evaluate the hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic activity of Shadguna Makaradhwaja (SM) formulations prepared by Swarna Varkha (SMV) and from residue Apakwa Talastha Swarna powder (SMR) with Guduchi Ghana (GG) in Swiss albino mice.

Materials and methods:
Oral glucose tolerance test and 18 hours fasted mice model were used. Shadguna Makaradhwaja with GG (5.85:94.15 ratios) was administered with honey at a dose of 65 mg/kg. Glibenclamide (GB; 0.65 mg/kg) was used as the standard drug.

Results:
In hypoglycemic study, SMV showed 18.2, 27.83, 34.88, and 47.41%, while SMR showed 4.85, 20.52, 29.70, and 44.3% reduction in blood sugar level (BSL) at 1, 2, 3, and 5 hours, respectively. In antihyperglycemic study, SMV showed 81.73, 49.23, 14.8, and 0% and SMR showed 56.38, 42.23, 1.16, and 21.58% reduction in BSL at 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes, respectively. Both results were statistically significant when compared to the control group.

Conclusion:
Test drugs showed significant hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic effects as compared to the control group. SMV showed more hypoglycemic effect, while SMR showed better antihyperglycemic effect.
A NEW SUBSEAFLOOR REPLACEMENT MODEL FOR THE MACMILLAN PASS CLASTIC-DOMINANT Zn-Pb ± Ba DEPOSITS (YUKON, CANADA)
Authors: Magnall Joseph M. , Gleeson Sarah A. , Paradis Suzanne 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits are a subset of sediment-hosted massive sulfide deposits and provide our dominant resource of Zn. In the SEDEX model, base metals (Zn, Pb, Fe) are hydrothermally vented into sulfidic (euxinic) seawater and deposited coevally with the organic-rich mudstone host rock, resulting in laterally extensive layered mineralization. In the Selwyn Basin (Canada) at Macmillan Pass, two deposits (Tom, Jason) are well preserved in a succession of Upper Devonian mudstones and are considered type-characteristic examples of the SEDEX deposit model. As with a number of SEDEX deposits, at Macmillan Pass barite is abundant in the succession hosting hydrothermal mineralization. Early work presented a hydrothermal model for barite formation, in which barite coprecipitated with base metal sulfides in a redox-stratified water column. Recently, however, studies have both proposed an alternative diagenetic model for barite formation and provided more precise constraints on the chemistry of the hydrothermal fluid that entered the vent complexes. Here, we present a new model for Macmillan Pass in which sulfide mineralization occurred entirely within the subsurface. The introduction of hot (300°C) hydrothermal fluids into the shallow subsurface (&lt;1-km depth) resulted in the thermal degradation of organic matter and generated CO2; this promoted barite dissolution, which both provided a source of sulfate for thermochemical sulfate reduction and increased the porosity and permeability within the system. Importantly, there was clear potential for the development of positive feedbacks and self-organization between diagenetic and hydrothermal processes, resulting in highly efficient ore-forming systems. In contrast to the SEDEX model, alteration footprints will be controlled by the mass transfer involved in (barite) replacement reactions rather than hydrothermal venting, and exploration criteria at a district scale should strongly favor highly productive continental margins.

Published: April 2020

El pensamiento computacional es un concepto reciente que ha cobrado importancia en los últimos años. Se ha encontrado que entrenamientos basados en este concepto, son capaces de producir mejoras en diversas funciones cognitivas. En este trabajo se ha empleado un entrenamiento basado en el pensamiento computacional elaborado por el Aula Cultural de Pensamiento Computacional y la Fundación general de la Universidad de La Laguna. El entrenamiento se aplicó a alumnos de secundaria divididos en dos grupos: un grupo que se basaba en una metodología de aprendizaje guiada y otro basado en una metodología de aprendizaje por descubrimiento. El objetivo es comprobar si el entrenamiento es capaz de producir mejoras en las medidas de memoria de trabajo y si es más beneficioso para los participantes con un nivel de memoria de trabajo alto. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el entrenamiento, independientemente de la metodología que se aplique es capaz de producir mejoras en las diferentes medidas de memoria trabajo. Así mismo, no se encontró evidencia de que los participantes con un nivel de memoria de trabajo alto se beneficien más del entrenamiento en la mayoría de las pruebas, pero si se encontró un beneficio mayor de estos en la prueba de figuras abstractas.
Computational thinking is a new concept wich has been adquiring relevance in the last few years. There are some evidence of trainings based on this new concept improving different cognitive abilities. In this paper, it has been used a training based on computational thinking, designed by “aula cultural de pensamiento computacional” and the general fundation of the University of La Laguna. This training was applied to students of secondary obligatory education who had been divided into two grups: one group recives the training with a methodology based in guide learning and the other group recived the training based on autolearning methodology. The main objective of this paper is to prove that training can improve the measures of working memory and check if the participants who have a high level of working memory take more benefits of the training. The results show that the training based on computational thinking improved the measures of working memory. In addition, there was no evidence of a higher level of benefit of the training in most of the taskes in the participants who have a high working memory level.

Chemokine receptor 4 expression is correlated with the occurrence and prognosis of gastric cancer
Authors: Li Yang , Wang Hong‐Chang , Wang Jin‐Shen , Sun Bo , Li Le‐Ping 
Published: April 2020

Gastric cancer (GC) is a common tumor with a low 5‐year survival rate. The chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) protein contributes to the progression and prognosis of GC, but the relationship between CXCR4 and immune infiltration, somatic copy number alteration (SCNA), tumor purity, tumor mutation burden (TMB), cytolytic activity (CYT), and drug sensitivity in GC is poorly understood. This study aimed to systematically explore the role of CXCR4 in GC. Microarray and RNA‐seq data were collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas. Our analysis shows that CXCR4 is correlated with various types of immune cells. Patients with high CXCR4 expression had a higher fraction of B cells and CD8+ T cells, and a lower fraction of CD4+ T cells. In addition, high CXCR4 expression was associated with more advanced tumor stage, worse prognosis and higher stromal score, immune score, and cytolytic activity (P < 0.05). High CXCR4 expression also correlated with lower tumor purity and TMB. In summary, our analyses suggest that CXCR4 may affect the progression and prognosis of GC by influencing immune infiltration, TMB, CYT, tumor purity, and drug sensitivity.
Development and evaluation of machine learning models for voxel dose predictions in online adaptive magnetic resonance guided radiation therapy
Authors: Thomas M. Allan , Fu Yabo , Yang Deshan 
Published: April 2020

AbstractPurposeDaily online adaptive plan quality in magnetic resonance imaging guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) is difficult to assess in relation to the fully optimized, high quality plans traditionally established offline. Machine learning prediction models developed in this work are capable of predicting 3D dose distributions, enabling the evaluation of online adaptive plan quality to better inform adaptive decision‐making in MRgRT.MethodsArtificial neural networks predicted 3D dose distributions from input variables related to patient anatomy, geometry, and target/organ‐at‐risk relationships in over 300 treatment plans from 53 patients receiving adaptive, linac‐based MRgRT for abdominal cancers. The models do not include any beam related variables such as beam angles or fluence and were optimized to balance errors related to raw dose and specific plan quality metrics used to guide daily online adaptive decisions.ResultsAveraged over all plans, the dose prediction error and the absolute error were 0.1 ± 3.4 Gy (0.1 ± 6.2%) and 3.5 ± 2.4 Gy (6.4 ± 4.3%) respectively. Plan metric prediction errors were −0.1 ± 1.5%, −0.5 ± 2.1%, −0.9 ± 2.2 Gy, and 0.1 ± 2.7 Gy for V95, V100, D95, and Dmean respectively. Plan metric prediction absolute errors were 1.1 ± 1.1%, 1.5 ± 1.5%, 1.9 ± 1.4 Gy, and 2.2 ± 1.6 Gy. Approximately 10% (25) of the plans studied were clearly identified by the prediction models as inferior quality plans needing further optimization and refinement.ConclusionMachine learning prediction models for treatment plan 3D dose distributions in online adaptive MRgRT were developed and tested. Clinical integration of the models requires minimal effort, producing 3D dose predictions for a new patient’s plan using only target and OAR structures as inputs. These models can enable improved workflows for MRgRT through more informed plan optimization and plan quality assessment in real time.
