Introduction:
In Uganda, people living in fishing communities tend to engage in high-risk sexual activity which leads to unintended pregnancies that may end in abortions. Abortion has negative social, psychological, and medical impacts. We determined the frequency of abortion and its correlates among female fisher-folk along Lake Victoria in Uganda.

Methods:
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among women aged 15– 49 years from Kigungu and Nsazi fishing communities. Data were collected on socio-demographic characteristics, abortion, and family planning use. Associations between abortion and participant characteristics were assessed using logistic regression models.

Results:
Of the 713 women interviewed, 36, 5% were pregnant and 247, 34.6 % were using contraception. Majority (600, 84.2%) of those interviewed reported ever being pregnant. Approximately 45% of the pregnancies were un-intended while a third of those who had ever been pregnant (195, 32.5%) reported having aborted before. Slightly over a third (247, 34.6%) reported currently using or ever using family planning. Women aged 30+ years were more likely to abort compared to those aged 15-29 years (aOR: 2.7; 95% CI: 1.23-5.91). Women who had living children were less likely to abort compared to those who didn’t have any living child (aOR: 0.06; 95% CI: 0.01 – 0.17).

Conclusion:
The rate of abortion among female fisher-folk in Uganda is substantial. Family planning use is still low and unintended pregnancies are common. Abortion risk increased with the age of the mother. Continuous behavioral change communication and optimization of family planning use are recommended to reduce abortions.

Authors: Khobragade Ashish W. , Kadam Dilip D. 
Published: December 2021

Background:
COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2. The first case of COVID-19 was detected in Wuhan city of China in December 2019. Geographic information system (GIS) mapping is important for the surveillance of infectious diseases.

Objectives:
The objectives of the study are to map spatially total cases and case fatality rate of COVID-19 and to build a linear regression model for mortality based on socio-demographic variables.

Methology:
We plotted the epidemiological data of COVID-19 of Indian states as on 11th May 2021 using the Q-GIS software. We used socio-demographic variables as the predictors of COVID-19 mortality and developed a linear regression model.

Results:
Adjusted R-squared in linear regression model based on socio-demographic variables for COVID-19 deaths is 0.82.

Conclusions:
There are spatial variations in COVID-19 cases and deaths.
Assessment and comparison of auditory and visual reaction time in abacus trained and untrained students aged 8 to 13 years in the south Indian population
Authors: Philip Ria Ann , Yerrabelli Dhanalakshmi , Bhavya R. L. 
Published: December 2021

Background:
Hand-eye coordination is essential for our daily activities. It involves the accuracy and concentration with which an individual performs tasks. Memory tasks like abacus involve the increased use of the superior and middle frontal gyrus, the motor region of the cerebral cortex, which improves the blood supply to this region, and nourishment to the neurons. This enhances neural plasticity in the developing age, which, in turn, improves the rapidity and precision of physical responses to various stimuli.

Objectives:
To assess and compare the reaction times of children who have undergone abacus training and those who have not undergone abacus training in the age group of 8–13 years.

Methods:
It is a cross-sectional study, selected by Indian Council of Medical Research- Short Term Studentship 2018, approved by the undergraduate research monitoring committee, and institutional ethics committee. The research study was conducted in a central school in Puducherry among age-matched and body mass index (BMI)-matched healthy children aged between 8 and 13 years who were undergoing abacus training and who did not receive abacus training. Anthropometric parameters such as weight, height, and BMI were measured. Following that, the auditory (ART) and visual reaction time (VRT) of the participants were measured using a recognition reaction time apparatus.

Results:
The auditory and visual reaction time in the study group was significantly less than that of the control group (P = 0.04 for ART and P = 0.001 for VRT).

Interpretation and Conclusion:
This study concludes that students trained in memory tasks like abacus have better hand-eye coordination as recorded by their enhanced processing speed, thereby decreased response to auditory and visual stimuli when compared with untrained students.

Development and evaluation of pilot simulated patient centre: Learning from the experience
Authors: Low Bee Yean , Farrow Emily , Emtage Abigail 
Published: December 2021

Objectives: To compare the performance of paid actor-simulated patients: 1) before and after a simulated patient training programme aiming for programme enhancement; 2) to postgraduate/staff-simulated patients.
Methods: Fifty-six student participants watched a series of video recordings of student pharmacist-paid actor-simulated patients role-playing and blindly assessed the performance of paid actor-simulated patients pre- and post-training using the Maastricht Assessment of Simulated Patients (MaSP). Seventy-three student participants compared the paid actor-simulated patients’ performance to postgraduate/staff-simulated patients. Data collected were analysed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests, respectively.
Results: There was a statistically significant improvement in the collated MaSP scores for paid actor-simulated patients’ performance post-training in the authenticity of role-playing (mean score ± standard deviation (SD): 2.61 ± 0.30 (Pre-training); 2.70 ± 0.31 (Post-training), p < 0.05) but not the quality of feedback. Similarly, paid actor-simulated patients performed better (in the authenticity of role-playing but not the quality of feedback) when compared to postgraduate/staff-simulated patients.
Conclusions: Paid actor-simulated patients require improvement in providing quality feedback to students to enhance students’ learning.
Students’ proposed self-management strategies in response to written cases depicting situations of adversity
Authors: Davidson Jared , Simmonds Claire , Whitfield Karen , Wilby Kyle John 
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Pharmacy students are facing academic and non-academic pressures that require emotional regulation. This study explored students’ possible self-management strategies when encountering situations known to deplete resilience.
Methods: This was a qualitative think-aloud study designed to elicit final year pharmacy students’ reactions to situations known to deplete resilience and evoke emotional responses (racism, lack of trust, negative feedback, burnout, personal stress, sexual harassment). Thematic analysis was used to capture the strategies students used to self-manage their emotions.
Results: Students made use of three types of processes to self-manage their emotions, which were used to construct three overarching strategies: the internalizer (avoidance, self-reflection), the seeker (asking for help or corroboration), and the confronter (approaching the situation and persons involved ‘head on’).
Conclusion: Findings support the notion that students’ self-management is not a ‘one size fits all’ construct, and any approach to emotional skill development needs to recognize individualization within student responses.

Authors: Adim Victor , Poi Godwin 
Published: December 2021

Purpose: This study examined the relationship between opportunity-sensing capability and corporate vitality of domestic airlines in Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: The study adopted an explanatory cross sectional survey research design which was carried out at the organizational level of analysis. The population of this study was the nine (9) operational scheduled domestic airline operators in Nigeria. The managers involved were: Station Manager, Cabin Service Manager, Director of Airline Services, Operations Manager and Regional Manager. The study adopted the entire population as a census. The reliability of the instrument was ascertained using the Cronbach alpha reliability instrument with all items scoring above 0.70. The Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient was utilized to establish the level of relationship as hypothesized with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23.0.
Results: Findings from the study revealed a strong positive significant relationship between sensing capability and corporate vitality of domestic airlines in Nigeria. It was concluded that when domestic airlines in Nigeria deploy their opportunity sensing capability it enhances the corporate vitality especially in the dynamic business environment.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: It was recommended, that there is need for domestic airlines to have more business forums in order to understand the changing trends within their business operational environment and detect fundamental shifts in their industry. They should look for opportunities to improve the ways in which new knowledge is acquired, analyzed, interpreted and distributed, as well as utilized in making good corporate decisions.

Published: December 2021

Abstract. Current climate modelling frameworks present significant
uncertainties when it comes to quantifying flood quantiles in the context of
climate change, calling for new information and strategies in hazard
assessments. Here, state-of-the-art methods on hydraulic and statistical
modelling are applied to historical and contemporaneous flood records to
evaluate flood hazards beyond natural climate cycles. A comprehensive flood
record of the Duero River in Zamora (Spain) was compiled from documentary
sources, early water-level readings and continuous gauge records spanning
the last 500 years. Documentary evidence of flood events includes minute
books (municipal and ecclesiastic), narrative descriptions, epigraphic
marks, newspapers and technical reports. We identified 69 flood events over
the period 1250 to 1871, of which 15 were classified as catastrophic
floods, 16 as extraordinary floods and 38 as ordinary floods. Subsequently,
a two-dimensional hydraulic model was implemented to relate flood stages (flood marks and
inundated areas) to discharges. The historical flood records show the
largest floods over the last 500 years occurred in 1860 (3450 m3 s−1),
1597 (3200 m3 s−1) and 1739 (2700 m3 s−1). Moreover, at least 24
floods exceeded the perception threshold of 1900 m3 s−1 during the period
(1500–1871). Annual maximum flood records were completed with gauged
water-level readings (pre-instrumental dataset, PRE: 1872–1919) and systematic gauge records (systematic
dataset, SYS:
1920–2018). The flood frequency analyses were based on (1) the expected moments
algorithm (EMA) and (2) the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) method, using
five datasets with different temporal frameworks (historic dataset, HISTO: 1511–2018; PRE–SYS:
1872–2018; full systematic record, ALLSYS: 1920–2018; SYS1: 1920–1969; and SYS2: 1970–2018). The
most consistent results were obtained using the HISTO dataset, even for high
quantiles (0.001 % annual exceedance probability, AEP). PRE–SYS was robust
for the 1 % AEP flood with increasing uncertainty in the 0.2 % AEP or
500-year flood, and ALLSYS results were uncertain in the 1 % and 0.2 %
AEP floods. Since the 1970s, the frequency of extraordinary floods
(>1900 m3 s−1) declined, although floods on the range of the
historical perception threshold occurred in 2001 (2075 m3 s−1) and 2013
(1654 m3 s−1). Even if the future remains uncertain, this bottom-up
approach addresses flood hazards under climate variability, providing real
and certain flood discharges. Our results can provide a guide on low-regret
adaptation decisions and improve public perception of extreme flooding.

Background: Depression and anxiety are major health problems found to be associated with various conditions. COVID-19 is a global pandemic that has a substantial effect on the worldwide population. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression and anxiety among male patients with COVID-19 and explore their relationship with participants’ characteristics.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among expatriate male patients with COVID-19 admitted to Lebsayyer Field Hospital in Qatar with mild COVID-19 (according to World Health Organization classification) from July till August 2020. The sample size was calculated using Cochran's formula based on disease prevalence. All eligible patients were invited to participate until reaching 400 participants, who then completed an anonymous survey of sociodemographic questions, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 questionnaire, which are validated screening tools for depression and anxiety, respectively.
Results: Of the 400 participants, 148 (37.0%) and 77 (19.3%) reported depressive and anxiety symptoms, respectively. Depression was more prevalent among those 40–49 years old (p = 0.029), while anxiety was more prevalent among people aged ≥ 50 (p = 0.456). Both depression (p = 0.009) and anxiety (p = 0.042) were more prevalent among Bangladeshi, followed by Filipino participants. Depression was more prevalent among those with the highest income (> 15,000 QR; p = 0.004), in contrast to anxiety, which was more prevalent among those with the lowest monthly income ( < 2,000 QR; p = 0.039).
Conclusion: The prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms is high among the study participants. Associated factors identified by the study were unsteady income, poor self-rated health, living with family, Southeast Asian ethnicity, and age group of 40–49 years.

Published: December 2021

The pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has forced the teaching and learning activities to be conducted remotely. Before the pandemic, many academic institutions had offered online distance learning for selected courses. However, in practice, most of these programs were delivered as blended learning program instead of a full-fledged distance learning program. Distance learning programs faced challenges and limitations in terms of communication, integrity, and interactions compared to the traditional face-to-face teaching and learning method. Despite the challenges and limitations in distance teaching and learnings, academic staff are expected to accomplish the same (or better) outcomes than the traditional face-to-face teaching and learning. Hence, distance learning method was not popular to many academic staff and students before the pandemic time. In order to improve the quality of the full distance learning delivery, emerging technologies and more interactive platforms are being developed rapidly. This article discusses the emerging technologies and strategies to make full distance learning or remote education competitive compared to the traditional teaching and learning method. The future potential teaching and learning technology, i.e., digital twins, is also briefly presented.
