Authors: Purkayastha Abhishek , Suhag Virender , Taneja Sachin , Husain Azhar 
Published: November 2021

AbstractCarcinoma penis is a rare malignancy accounting 0.5%–1% of cases in the developed countries with a slightly higher incidence in the developing nations. Slow locoregional progression is characteristic of penile carcinoma (PC) and distant metastases are very uncommon. We hereby report a case of highly aggressive squamous cell PC in a 46-year-old male with fulminant upfront distant dissemination to left supraclavicular lymph nodes (LNs) without involving the inguinal and pelvic nodes detected by whole-body 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography scan. The scan also detected lytic destructive lesion involving the pelvic and adjacent bones with infiltration of skeletal muscles. He was treated with palliative radiotherapy to the wight-bearing sites followed by systemic chemotherapy. A thorough review of literature reveals that our case may be one of the rarest cases ever reported in world literature where an asymptomatic PC presents with upfront supraclavicular LN metastasis bypassing the inguinal, pelvic, and retroperitoneal LN chains.

Published: November 2021

AbstractA 35-year-old female with a 15-week period of gestation was detected with locally advanced cancer of the left breast. She was suggested to undergo a medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) followed by invasive Oncological imaging - Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) chest–abdomen–pelvis/fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-CT (FDG PET-CT) for staging the disease. However, to avoid the risk of iatrogenic novel coronavirus 2019 infection to the patient, on her request, the hospital admission was carried out after the oncological workup and thus PET-CT was conducted before the MTP. FDG PET-CT revealed FDG avid primary in the left breast along with extensive metastases to liver and skeletal lesions. The developing fetus also showed physiological FDG uptake. The patient has undergone an MTP and is presently under treatment for metastatic breast cancer. The case report illustrates the radiation safety guidelines on fetal radiation exposure, steps to decrease fetal radiation exposure, and illustration of fetal FDG uptake.

Published: November 2021

Although the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education and mental health of the university environment is relatively unknown, it is expected to be very significant considering the high incidence of emotional reactions amongst university students and staff. While fears around COVID-19 exposure, anxieties, and the challenges of support normalize stress, anxiety, and depression as emotional reactions in the face of the pandemic, this psychosocial impact has negative consequences for the university community. Thus, in order to salvage the higher education institutions from the debilitating effects of the pandemic, there is a clear need to safeguard the welfare of students and staff. Hence, it becomes vital to examine the experience of members of the university community during the COVID-19 crisis in order to develop measures and implement interventions that will assist in navigating psychosocial challenges. To achieve this objective, the study employed a mixed-method research approach in which data was collected using web-based survey and online interviews. Concurrent triangulation sampling technique was employed to select a sample of fifteen (15) students, five (5) university managers, and five (5) lecturers – making twenty-five (25) respondents at each of the two universities, thus making a cumulative total of fifty (50) at two (2) rural universities in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Thus, qualitative and quantitative data collected were analysed concurrently by first reporting the qualitative findings and then comparing them to the quantitative findings. Findings revealed that although the university environment traditionally provided opportunities for strengthening social ties which satisfy the universal need to belong to a community, the COVID-19 pandemic has altered rural university life, thus, significantly impacting on psychosocial wellbeing. The study recommends that rural institutions must facilitate psychosocial wellness programming with the assistance of wider stakeholders such as the government and the private sector who can assist in financing this initiative.

Published: November 2021

This convergent-parallel mixed-methods study was conducted to examine students' readiness on flexible learning modality established in the local context based on Commission on Higher Education Memorandum Order No. 04 series of 2020 or the "Guidelines on the Implementation "Flexible Learning in the Philippines." A sample of 408 students participated in the study. The self-determination theory model and contextual approach to e-learning delivery (learning flexibility, online learning, study management, technology, modular learning, and online interaction) were used as theoretical underpinnings. Data collected using electronic surveys and information from semi-structured interviews were analyzed. The application of a descriptive survey confirms the low level of readiness among students. When compared across the population, the results provided no significant difference in the level of readiness among students when grouped according to sex and provided significant difference according to year level and Course. Interpreting the results together with qualitative analysis parallels the notion of difficulties among students in all dimensions of flexible learning. This research places the thrust of improving curriculum delivery by addressing flexible learning policies in the local context.

Abstract
Objectives: To quantify the depiction of violence and vulgarity in television programmes for children, and to assess the perception and practices of parents and children about television programmes meant for children.
Methods: We conducted this mixed-methods cross-sectional study in Karachi, Pakistan in the months of August-September 2018, after approval from the ethics review board of Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi. First, a content analysis of over 102 hours of various television programmes meant for children was performed in the light of the guidelines set out by the World Health Organisation, the United States Federal Communication Commission and the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority. Seven trained researchers sampled the children prime time throughout a week, including the weekends, using a structured tally sheet. Subsequently, interviews were conducted with dyad of parent-children from the employees’ list of a public-sector university. A questionnaire was also administered to assess the practices and perceptions of the parents-children dyad about the programmes. Data was analysed using SPSS 24.
Results: Of the 173 subjects, 84(48.6%) were parents and 89(51.4%) were children. The mean age of the children was 89 children 9.8±3.7 years. Content analysis comprised 6130 minutes, of which 5442(88.8%) had depictions of violence and vulgarity. Depiction of violence and vulgarity was prevalent on television channels that were watched the most, but there was no significant difference in this regard (p=0.238). Of the parents, 68(81%) expressed concern over the effect of screen time and content on the mental health of their children.

Published: November 2021

Di dalam undang-undang wakaf, sudah memuat di dalamnya ketentuan yang menyatakan bahwa Hak Kekayaan Intelektual dapat beralih dan dialihkan seperti wakaf. Padahal Hak Kekayaan Intelektual bukanlah benda nyata (material). Berangkat dari persoalan inilah, penulis tertarik untuk meneliti tentang Hak Kekayaan Intelektual sebagai objek wakaf. Metode pendekatan penelitian dalam karya tulis ini adalah penelitian pustaka, jenis kajian kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode analisis dokumen. Kajian ini dibagi menjadi empat metode pokok, yaitu, metode penentuan subjek, bentuk kajian, metode pengumpulan data, dan metode analisis data.
Adapun temuannya adalah mengenai wakaf dalam Hak Kekayaan Intelektual yang tercantum di dalam Undang-Undang No. 14 Tahun 2014 tentang Wakaf dijelaskan kategorinya di dalam Peraturan Pemerintah No. 42 Tahun 2006 Pasal 21. Pada poin b, dijelaskan bahwa benda bergerak selain uang yang dapat diwakafkan dalam Hak Kekayaan Intelektual yaitu berupa: a) hak cipta, b) hak merk, c) hak paten, d) hak desain industri, e) hak rahasia dagang, f) hak sirkuit terpadu, g) hak perlindungan variates tanaman, dan atau hak lainnya.
Hukum Indonesia tentang wakaf mengkategorikan Hak Kekayaan Intelektual sebagai benda immaterial yang memiliki nilai dengan adanya royalti yang didapat oleh pencipta dari Hak Kekayaan Intelektual tersebut. Pencipta berhak untuk mengalihkan hak yang dimilikinya atas royalti yang didapat olehnya sesuai keinginannya, salah satunya adalah dengan cara mewakafkannya. Wakaf benda immaterial tersebut diperbolehkan karena sudah dipandang umum oleh tradisi masyarakat Indonesia.

Authors: Camilleri Andrew , Gasan Samantha Pace , Azzopardi Andrew 
Published: November 2021

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared a global health pandemic, due to the spread of a novel coronavirus, later named “Covid-19”. The spread of Covid-19 led to social isolation, distancing and a number of restrictive measures in Malta. The aim of this paper is to analyse the impact of Covid-19 and the subsequent restrictive measures on persons with disability and their caregivers and families in Malta. Using thematic analysis, the study found that a variety of impacts ranging from a sense of isolation, lack of essential services being provided, additional difficulties encountered at the place of work and education and measures that were not sufficiently tailored for persons with disability issued by public health authorities. Underlying the additional difficulties brought about by Covid-19, structural difficulties to access essential services as well as ignorance from policy makers and politicians and the added “vulnerable-ization” of persons with disabilities were found to be highly impacting factors that pervade the experience of persons with disabilities and their caregivers.

Purpose: The potential benefits of ICT integration in learning in schools have been extensively discussed in the academic literature worldwide. In recent years globally, there has been rapid expansion in integration of ICT in primary school education. Countries has further put in place many initiatives to enhance the same. Integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a critical factor in ensuring improved quality education. Despite the many benefits that are known to be brought by integrating ICT in teaching and learning, studies have shown that integration remains low especially in primary schools. The general objective of the study was to establish the influence of information communication technology on child education
Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.
Findings: The study found out that the influence of ICTs in learning cannot be dealt with in isolation. For technology to be effective, it must be availed to learners at the right time and place. There is need to be effective, it must be availed to learner’s proximity; that is in classrooms or supposed learning environment
Recommendations: The study recommends that school management should focus on increasing their ICTs infrastructure by provision of computers, building computer laboratories and encouraging public-private partnership so as to help in internet connectivity and provision of basic infrastructure. Capacity building is an important initiative that helps in ensuring that the benefits that accrue from use of technology in education are maximized. Additionally, students should be provided with technical assistance to use ICTs in teaching and learning

Published: November 2021

Purpose: Globally, effective political engagement requires candid communication between the government and its citizens. More so, citizens have the right to express how they need to be governed. On government’s part, the need to develop trust among the public should be paramount. Government should always inform citizens what it is continually doing. Furthermore, public domains ought to reflect integrity and transparency. Such is achievable through communication on many of its activities. In the recent past, government utilized traditional media to convey information to the public. Popular avenues used included television, newspapers and radio. The general objective of the study was to establish the role of social media on community mobilization
Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.
Findings: The study found out that the adoption of social media as a means of communication between the government official’s community members has an enormous impact on community mobilization for security matters and other issues. Social media platforms have enabled quick sharing of information on Barraza. The social media platforms enable this community mobilization in a cost-efficient manner Although social media use offers enormous value in public relations, there is little evidence that social networking sites are used to inform and involve governmental public opinion agencies such as the public sector.
Recommendations: The study recommends that public administrators to embrace social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp due to their responsiveness and lower costs in interacting with the public administrators and amongst themselves. The respective government agencies should create awareness among the public on the importance of using digital platforms to pass or receive information on security issues

Authors: Lalunio-Manikan Marilyn , Bonto Aldrin P. , Ebreo Carmelo Miguel H. 
Published: November 2021

In this study, for the first time, hydrothermal treatment of Eleusine indica leaf extract and silver nitrate produced nanosilver immobilized in hydrothermal carbon synthesized at different reaction times (RT) - 6, 12, 24 and 48 h. The surface morphology of nanosilver hydrochar (AgNP@hydrochar) composites was studied using SEM, while their chemical functionalities were investigated using FT-IR, UV-Vis, XRF and EDX spectroscopy. The AgNP@hydrochar were observed to be agglomerated spherical particles with size ranges from 128 to 171 nm. Varying C=O and C=C IR absorption peaks at different RT suggested that the plant extract reduced Ag+ into Ag0 in solution. Elemental analysis using EDX showed that Ag is dominant in the composite (84.07 %) supported by the Ag spatial distribution as demonstrated by the EDX elemental mapping.
HIGHLIGHTS

For the first time, hydrothermal treatment of Eleusine indica leaf extract with silver nitrate resulted in nanosilver trapped in hydrothermal carbon
HTC process of E. indica extract produced composite having agglomerated spherical particles
EDX elemental mapping showed an abundant silver in the synthesized composite

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Increasing the energy of the initiating spark discharge in order to reduce and stabilize the delay time in a compact vacuum breaker
Authors: Davydov Sergei , Dolgov Alekxander , Kozlov Alekxander , Yakubov Rustam 
Published: November 2021

The similarity of the switching mechanisms of compact vacuum spark breakers and spark breakers with laser ignition is established at a comparable level of energy flux density in the ignition node–ionization of the residual gas by a stream of short-wave radiation and fast electrons from the cathode spot plasma or laser plasma. This mechanism allows you to effectively reduce the delay in triggering the spark gap by increasing the ignition energy. An experimental study of the advantages of using an ignition circuit with increased energy for controlling small-sized vacuum spark breakers is carried out. There is a steady decrease in the delay time of the spark gap and an increase in the level
of delay stability. From the point of view of minimization and stability of the delay time of the spark gap, the energy investment in the formation of the initiating plasma occurs most effectively at the spark stage of the auxiliary discharge along the surface of the dielectric in the ignition node.

Authors: Fedorov Anatolii 
Published: November 2021

The results of research on the development of the first electric discharge lasers on active media N2, CO2, Cu, CuBr and excimer molecules at the Institute of Atmospheric Optics named after V. E. Zueva SB RAS are given. It created one of the world's first Cu-lasers with a pulse production of copper vapors due to the explosion of conductors and a transverse excitation discharge. For a copper laser, record specific generation parameters were obtained almost equal to the limit: radiation energy 2.4 J/l, peak power 120 MW/l with an efficiency of 0.16 %. For the CuBr laser operating in frequency mode, for the first time, an average radiation power of more than 100 W was obtained. In the dual pulse excitation mode, conditions were found that limit the growth of the efficiency of the CuBr laser. For him, a record efficiency of 2.7 % was obtained. For the first time, a nitrogen laser was developed with a maximum efficiency of 0.27 % with an
energy of 0.8 mJ, a peak power of 160 kW. For the first time, a miniature XeCl laser with a longitudinal excitation discharge was developed, which worked both with and without buffer gases He, Ne and Ar.

This paper entitled "The Role of Islamic Education Teachers in Helping Students Respond to Global Challenges", is described specifically in the learning process in schools, especially in a global era that is full of various kinds of challenges. This paper is based on literature studies, for example about globalization, the description of rural and urban communities, as written by Eko Budiharjo in Urban Reform, about education, about learning, and others. Globalization is one of the foundations, because we live in the era of globalization, so a study of this will provide an overview of the times, for ISLAMIC EDUCATION (Islamic Education) teachers. A little study of rural and urban communities is also the basis of the study, because now there has been a shift in the way of life of the community towards urban communities. And also provides an overview, the differences between villages and cities, differences in value order, cultural order, mindset order to behavior patterns, especially students. This knowledge is needed by teachers to use as a basis for acting or making decisions. The study of education or learning, is a sure thing for teachers. This paper is also based on the experience and observations of the author, when he was a teacher several years ago, for approximately 20 years. Between experience, observations, and literature in the form of theoretical studies are mixed into writing.

This research which is titled: There is no preference in acts of worship” talks about altruism which is identifier as preference of others on oneself .It has two kinds: Forbidden Altruism which is in worships. The second one is desired altruism, it means altruism in the whim, desires and requirements.
The purpose of this research is to explain that the forbidden altruism is disliked in SHARIA because the SHARIA is ordering the Muslim to hasten to the pleasure of his God and compete others in that, because in the acts of worship is the homage of God: but altruism others is generally a good altruism and it is desired in SHARIA . That is good Altruism at generally and desired in SHARIA. This research explains the difference of the two kinds of altruism and gives some examples. It also introduces some results that have been achieved.
