<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Aim and objectives were to evaluate and compare the outcomes of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) with and without silicone stenting. Surgical success was assessed both subjectively and objectively. </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A retrospective study was conducted. Total 30 patients with acquired NLD obstruction were enrolled in the study. The patients who underwent the surgery were randomly assigned into two groups: group I: with silicone stent placement, group II: without stent placement. The patients were evaluated in terms of symptoms relief (subjective assessment) and patency of neo-ostium (objective assessment). </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> In our study, success rate for patients with placement of stent was 91.66% and without stenting was 77.77%. Statistical data proved that, there was no significant difference between two groups. Endoscopic DCR with stenting had good long term outcome. It maintains patency and prevents re-closer of neo-ostium. With stenting cases cause of failure was synechiae formation and in without stenting cases causes was infection, granulation formation and stoma closer. So both cases had their own merits and demerits.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The endoscopic DCR is minimally invasive and simple procedure. Patient’s discomfort, synechiae, granulations are drawbacks of stenting but stents had given good long term outcome in maintaining patency of neo-ostium. Still data proved, there was no significant difference in both groups. This was due to our small sample size. Regular follow up is necessary for better post-operative outcome and prevention of further complications. So ultimately it is surgeon choice and level of expertise decides use of stent in DCR. </p>

Authors: Ahmed Fayza Ebrahim 
Published: February 2021

This study aimed at identifying the extents of abuse of autistic children and some behavioural disorders in who were abused and who were not abused from parents and teachers’ perspective. To achieve the study’s objectives, the researcher adopted a descriptive research method and used a survey as a tool for the task. The sample consisted of 200 autistic children. The study found a positive relationship between the extents of abuse (physical, emotional, neglect and sexual) and the degrees of behavioural disorders (self-harm, aggression, anxiety and depression) in children with autism who were abused. Autistic children who were abused suffered more from these behavioural disorders. The study recommends an increase in interest in children with autism within the family and community levels by planning and implementing programmes that can help them to adapt socially to the environment, which keeps them away from the exposure to abuse.

Published: February 2021

This study aims to analyse students’ extraneous cognitive load (ECL) in cell biology lectures. Participants in the study were 31 students of the Biology Education Department who attended the Cell Biology course from a university in Jakarta, Indonesia. The Cell Biology lectures include fours topics. The data of ECL were measured using questionnaires with a semantically differential scale, containing statements about students’ mental efforts in understanding the information received in the lectures. The data obtained were then tabulated, categorised according to the mental effort rubric, and made into percentage for each step of the VARK (Visual, Aural, Read/write, Kinaesthetic) approach. The results of the data analysis show that students' mental effort (ECL) in understanding each concept in Cell Biology lectures through the VARK approach is generally in the lower category. This is indicated by the very high percentage in the low category for visual, aural, read/write, and kinaesthetic steps.

Authors: Kumar Tribhuwan 
Published: February 2021

This paper aims to analyze the effect of motivation in the development of English speaking skills on second language acquisition. There are so many excellent teaching methods that vary in effectiveness. Motivation is the driving force for learning another language, and integration of that language into the person’s identity. Motivation is the practical reason for learning a second language. Data collection was done from two Indian universities named: Patna University and Patliputra University, from each university 50 students were randomly selected. Speaking English is one of the best needs of individual in both the students’ academic and a professional field. The second language students should be encouraged not only in the classroom but also outside to speak in English. In achieving this goal, motivation can be used as magical catalyst in learning L2. With this viewpoint, this research focuses on 3 main motivational factors to analyze the role of motivation in developing speaking skills: identifying the motivation function in promoting speaking skills; researches on motivational factors for English as second language; suggesting impact and strategies in stimulating learners in developing speaking skills. close-ended questionnaires using relevant types of questions are chosen to conduct data collection. For the research, descriptive statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. The mean value was used to represent the analysis results. Within this paper, the researcher identified several factors that affect students’ motivation to learn second language. Motivation is surely, of great importance in this phenomenon, and is often critical in its development.

Aliran Kepercayaan Dalam Administrasi Kependudukan
Authors: Pransefi Megamendung Danang 
Published: February 2021

Indonesia adalah negara dengan pluralitas yang tinggi baik dari suku , bahasa, sampai dengan agama maupun kepercayaan yang dianut tiap-tiap warganya. Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945 sebagai dasar konstitusional Negara Republik Indonesia memberikan kebebasan bagi setiap warga negaranya untuk memeluk agama atau kepercayaan sesuai yang diyakini tiap-tiap mereka. Tersirat dari penjelasan pasal 1 Undang-Undang Nomor 1 PNPS Tahun 1965 bahwa agama yang dipeluk oleh masyarakat Indonesia adalah Islam, Kristen, Katolik, Hindu, Buddha, dan Khong hu cu. Hal ini seakan menjadi sebuah acuan bahwa agama yang diakui di Indonesia hanyalah enam agama tersebut, sedangkan jauh sebelum datangnya agama di Indonesia sudah ada kepercayaan-kepercayaan yang diyakini berbagai masyarakat di seluruh penjuru nusantara yang sejatinya turunan dari nenek moyang mereka. Dari dua hal tersebut dapat dilihat adanya kesenjangan akan perlakuan negara terhadap agama dan kepercayaan. Kesenjangan ini semakin tampak setelah adanya pasal Undang-Undang Administrasi Kependudukan yang memberi tanda strip (-) kepada pemeluk agama atau kepercayaan selain enam agama diatas walaupun tetap dicatat dan dilayani di kantor pencatatan. Sampai pada tahun 2016 kelompok penghayat kepercayaan menggugat Undang-Undang Administrasi Kependudukan ke Mahkamah Konstitusi untuk memperjuangkan kesetaraan akan pengakuan negara terhadap kepercayaannya.
Achieving Public Participation through Risk Management for Sustainable Procurement Management in Devolved System of Governments in Kenya
Authors: Njagi Eunice Gitiri , Namusonge Gregory S. , Shale Noor Ismail 
Published: February 2021

Public participation is a concept enshrined in the Kenyan constitution, 2010 with an intention to devolve powers to the common citizens and increase transparency and accountability hence may play a role towards public procurement sustainability. However, the relationship between public participation through risk management and sustainable procurement management has not yet been established despite many community-based infrastructure projects facing a lot of supply disruptions, health and safety issues as well as poor supplier selection in county governments in Kenya. The study, therefore, intended to assess the influence of public participation through risk management for sustainable procurement management in devolved systems of government in Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive study design. The target population was 1146 while 348 respondents were sampled through a stratified sampling method from Makueni, Machakos, and Kitui Counties. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect data, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze collected data while the F-test was used to test the hypothesis of the study. SPSS aided in data analysis. Key findings of the study indicate a positive and linear relationship between public participation (risk management) and sustainable procurement management. A recommendation is therefore made to both national Government and county governments to stipulate and implement policies that would improve public participation so as to improve sustainable procurement management in devolved systems of government. The study proposes that another public participation framework stipulates (Procurement planning, contract administration, monitoring, and evaluation) as well as other counties be investigated in order to have a holistic picture of the phenomena and the entire country.

A New Guide for the Arthroscopically Assisted Latarjet Procedure
Authors: Imai Shinji 
Published: February 2021

Background:
The Latarjet procedure is a commonly used treatment for recurrent shoulder instability. However, its neurological complication rate has been reported to be as high as 10%. During the Latarjet procedure, the neurovascular structures are relocated inferiorly and medially. I hypothesized that the risk of nerve injury would be reduced by assisting the inferior-medial relocation of the neurovascular structures intraoperatively.

Methods:
Seventeen consecutive patients with shoulder instability accompanied by glenoid bone loss were treated with an all-arthroscopic Latarjet procedure assisted by the novel low-profile SaSumata (SS) guide. The SS guide is inserted through a portal made above the coracoid process and is attached to the coracoid process by 2 pre-fix screws (i.e., temporary pre-fixation screws). Unlike previous techniques, the SS guide is not shuttled from 1 portal to the other to redirect the bone graft from the donor site to the recipient site; instead, it remains attached to the graft throughout the procedure. The SS guide brings the coracoid graft along an inferior-medial trajectory, pushing aside the neurovascular structures with the help of a switching stick. Owing to its semicircular pronged head, the SS guide holds the graft until the pre-fix screws are exchanged with permanent screws. All patients were clinically assessed and underwent computed tomography (CT) scans.

Results:
This maneuver was performed arthroscopically in 17 patients, with no conversion to open surgery and no neurological injuries. No patient had recurrence of dislocation after follow-up for a minimum of 24 months. The mean Subjective Shoulder Value was 87.5% ± 11.7%. The mean Rowe score was 88 ± 15.7. The bone block was optimally positioned between 3 o’clock and 5 o’clock and was flush with the glenoid facet in 16 of the 17 patients. There was 1 fracture of the bone block. The mean operation time after the first 5 patients was 125 ± 23 minutes.

Conclusions:
The SS guide was a useful tool for performing the arthroscopically assisted Latarjet procedure for recurrent anterior shoulder instability, with good functional results.

Level of Evidence:
Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
