Review of the Properties, Acceptance, and Use of Eucalyptus as an Alternative Species in Ethiopia's Wood Industries
Authors: Kaba Gemechu 
Published: September 2024

The demand for forest-related goods and services has continued to grow in Ethiopia due to the increasing population, urbanization, and the boom of the construction sector. In the past, the demand was covered by indigenous timber species, which now have declined due to unwise exploitations. To narrow down the gap between supply and demand an alternative solution is promoting and utilizing fast-growing species such as Eucalyptus wood. To effectively utilize this species identifying its special characteristics, level of acceptance in wood industries, and utilization practices are very important. To achieve the goals of this review, a thorough search was carried out across multiple scholarly databases. Then, pertinent research, papers, and articles about the use of Eucalyptus in the wood industries were downloaded and reviewed. The study shows that Eucalyptus is widely cultivated in various regions of Ethiopia and plays a significant role in the socio-economic dimensions of many Ethiopians, providing livelihood opportunities, environmental services, and supporting sustainable development. Although it is being used as an alternative to traditional timber species in many places in the world, it is not being widely used in Ethiopia's wood industry for furniture manufacturing. This is because producers are unaware of the special properties of this species; its felling technique, sawing method, and drying behavior which demands proper attention and care. To ensure the sustainable use of Eucalyptus resources, better tree management techniques, innovative wood processing techniques, market development, and strengthening the capacity of relevant stakeholders are imperative.
A Review of Continuous Assessment Learning Activity (CALA) in Zimbabwe: 2017- 2023
Authors: Masiiwa Spencer Tinashe , Last Matsiwira 
Published: September 2024

The major goal of this paper was to do a review of the CALA in Zimbabwe. Informed by the major tenets of progressivism as a theory of education, the government of Zimbabwe through the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE), embarked on a curriculum review exercise in 2015. The study employed secondary data. A closer and thorough inspection of the key stakeholders’ overview of CALA shows that fell short of expectations due to financial, ethical, and moral challenges associated with it. This paper concludes that regardless of the immense benefits of CALA, its adoption and implementation have been met with mixed feelings between and among stakeholders in the education sector and this has overshadowed the significance and relevance of CALA in the context of Zimbabwe. Further, this study concludes that for the period under review (2017- 2023), the Ordinary Level pass rate after the introduction of CALA has been fluctuating from one year to another which is similar to trends observed before the introduction of CALA. The researchers recommend the capacitation and active involvement and participation of teachers through attractive remuneration and training workshops as a panacea in the implementation of any curriculum review since teachers are the key drivers in such a process.

Published: September 2024

Stunting merupakan kondisi anak usia di bawah lima tahun (balita) yang memiliki tinggi badan dibawah rata-rata balita pada umumnya. Angka prevalensi stunting di Indonesia masih melebih batas normal yang ditetapkan oleh World Health Organization (WHO) yaitu sebesar 26,92% pada tahun 2020. Pringsewu merupakan satu dari 260 kabupaten/kota yang ditetapkan sebagai wilayah prioritas penanganan stunting tahun 2021. Pringsewu menetapkan 21 Pekon sebagai lokus penanganan stunting, Pekon Pamenang menjadi Pekon yang memiliki tingkat prevalensi stunting tertinggi di Kabupaten Pringsewu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat kesesuaian aspek organisasi, interpretasi, dan penerapan dalam implementasi kebijakan stunting di Pekon Pamenang Kecamatan Pagelaran Kabupaten Pringsewu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara, dokumentasi dan observasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan penanganan stunting di Pekon Pamenang belum dilaksanakan dengan baik dengan 3 indikator keberhasilan implementasi menurut Jones (1996) organisasi, interpretasi dan penerapan (aplikasi). Organisasi yang berperan dalam implementasi belum berjalan dengan baik karena belum adanya pembagian tugas dan tupoksi antar anggota tim. Interpretasi kebijakan penanganan stunting di Pekon Pamenang telah sesuai dengan Surat Edaran Stunting Nomor 050/572/B.01/2021 dan Peraturan Bupati Pringsewu Nomor 8 Tahun 2021. Namun pemahaman masyarakat dan pelaksana kebijakan masih kurang dalam memahami tentang stunting. Penerapan (aplikasi) kegiatan penanganan stunting telah dilakukan dengan baik dan rutin namun dalam pelaksanaannya tim Gebrak Princes tidak mengetahui adanya pedoman kinerja dan petunjuk teknis. Faktor pendukung implementasi penanganan stunting di Pekon Pamenang adalah adanya kader pembangunan manusia, bantuan susu dan vitamin dari Pemerintah Pekon Pamenang, fasilitas dan alat pendukung yang telah tersedia. Faktor penghambat adalah keterbatasan sumber daya manusia dan finansial, kurangnya pengetahuan anggota tim tentang pedoman kinerja.
O PRINCÍPIO TU QUOQUE: CONCEITO, CONSISTÊNCIA E ANÁLISE DE USO NA PRÁTICA PROCESSUAL
Authors: Gonçalves Carreira José Gabriel 
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo analisa o uso do instituto tu quoque em todas as decisões do Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo e do Tribunal Regional Federal da terceira região, no lapso temporal entre 2018 e 2020. Antes de se prostrar ao estudo prático do instituto, há de se entender a origem e a consistência do termo tu quoque. Aquela tem base no grito de dor do imperador romano Júlio Cesar, quando este descobriu que seu filho Brutus era um dos que conspiravam contra sua vida: “até tu, Brutus?”. De outro lado, é imprescindível saber que o tu quoque faz parte da Teoria dos Atos Próprios, intrínseca, por sua vez, à Boa-fé Objetiva. No geral, o tu quoque consiste na vedação a um comportamento surpresa e irregular de uma das partes. Não obstante, neste trabalho se analisará o uso do instituto exclusivamente no âmbito contratual; assim, uma das partes viola uma norma e, de maneira inesperada e com improbidade, tenta se aproveitar da situação criada a partir dessa violação. Nessa linha, analisar-se-á o preenchimento dos requisitos necessários ao correto uso do instituto pelos órgãos judiciais estudados; para tanto, fora utilizada a pesquisa bibliográfica, jurisprudencial e de legislação quanto à metodologia. Ao final, é possível averiguar, com apoio do método indutivo, o quanto o instituto tu quoque é carente de estudos, o que leva, por vezes, à sua má ultização. Como consequência disso, para além do empobrecimento do princípio, é demonstrado o quanto isso prejudica também a celeridade processual.
Healthcare Employee Well-Being and Work-Related Stress Factors: Evaluating the Mediating Influence of Perceived Organisational Support
Authors: Sindu Bharathi S. K. , Sujatha S. 
Published: September 2024

The exceptional crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic brought about immense hardships for health-care organisations to devise strategies ensuring their continuous survival. The front-line combatants in the COVID-19 outbreak primarily are health care providers. The impacts of mounting pressure on employees, which leads to burnout and greater turnover rates, are particularly concerning in the health care industry. Work-related stress factors and their impact on employee well-being have been the subject of extensive research during the last twenty years. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of information regarding the applicability of these findings to hospitals. This study aims to build a multi-level conceptual framework to examine how medical professionals’ perceptions of organisational support affect their well-being and satisfaction on the job, with a special emphasis regarding how this support affects their ability to cope with work-related stress. We examined the consequences of workplace stress among healthcare professionals as an outcome of its factors and the organisational support offered to deal with the situation and build resilience for better productivity and well-being. Through the use of a structured online questionnaire distributed to 194 employees across various hospitals, data were gathered. The Smart-PLS Structural Equation Modelling using was then applied to test the model fit and evaluate the results. The framework presented suggests that perceived organisational support alleviates stress and promotes satisfaction with their work among employees. This points to the significance of healthcare organisations' responsiveness and support in enhancing the well-being of their employees and implies that these factors are critical in lowering stress and turnover rates in work settings.
Mothers’ Worklives and Marital Status
Authors: Rosenbaum David I. , Mann Christopher 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Do single mothers work more throughout their lifetimes than married mothers? If so, do these differences vary by level of education? To answer, a two-state model is used to calculate worklives of mothers with a spouse present, in contrast to worklives of mothers without a spouse present. Worklives are generated for women of various education levels. Results show that married women with a spouse present have a shorter worklife than other marital status mothers. Regardless of marital status, less educated mothers have a shorter worklife than more educated mothers.

Background
Although the COVID-19 epidemic seems to have ceased, with only few new sporadic cases seen, reports of new strains of the virus could lead to a resurgence and death. Hence, this study identified the factors influencing COVID-19 treatment outcomes among patients in Ibadan, Nigeria.
Objective
To identify the determinants of COVID-19 treatment outcomes among patients admitted at the Infectious Disease Centre, Olodo, Ibadan, Nigeria.
Method
A facility-based retrospective study was conducted. A review of the records of all cases (932) of laboratory confirmed COVID-19 positive patients, who received treatment between April 2020 and January 2022 at the Centre was conducted. Data was analysed at the level of significance of 5%.
Results
The mean age (S.D.) of the patients was 36.97 (14.6) years, while the mean number of days on admission was 14.87 (11.33) days. Most were males (66.7%). Many (51.5%) were symptomatic at admission, 4% had co-morbidities. The other disease conditions present included obesity, asthma, diabetes and hypertension. At admission, 45.8% had a low body temperature and about a quarter (29.7%) had a high respiratory rate. More than half (63.3%) had a high lymphocyte count, while 41.1% had low neutrophil count. The case fatality rate was 3.3%. Patients’ occupation (OR = 0.56, p = 0.01), pulse rate (OR = 1.00, p = 0.00), blood pressure (OR = 2.97, p = 0.007) and oxygen saturation (OR = 0.05, p = 0.00) were significantly (p <0.05) associated with COVID-19 treatment outcomes.
Conclusion
Patients’ occupation was a positive predictor of treatment outcomes, hence patients’ occupation should be considered in the classification of disease severity of the infection and subsequent treatment.

Peer counseling has emerged as a crucial intervention strategy in addressing substance abuse and addiction among high school students. This review explores the role of peer counseling in combating these issues, focusing on its effectiveness, implementation challenges, and the long-term impact on students. The study underscores the significance of peer relationships in shaping adolescent behavior, particularly in the context of substance abuse. Peer counselors, who are often trained students themselves, provide a relatable and supportive environment where their peers can discuss their challenges with substance use. This approach leverages the influence of peer networks to promote healthier behaviors and offers a non-judgmental space for students to seek help, which they might hesitate to do with adults. The effectiveness of peer counseling in reducing substance abuse rates is attributed to several factors, including the relatability of peer counselors, the trust built within peer groups, and the ability to intervene early in students' lives. Peer counseling programs are designed to educate students about the risks of substance abuse, develop coping strategies, and provide ongoing support to those struggling with addiction. However, the implementation of such programs faces challenges, including the need for comprehensive training for peer counselors, ongoing supervision, and the integration of these programs into the broader school support system. The study concludes that peer counseling plays a vital role in addressing substance abuse among high school students by harnessing the positive influence of peers. It not only helps in reducing the prevalence of substance abuse but also fosters a supportive school environment that encourages students to make healthier choices. Future research should focus on evaluating the long-term outcomes of peer counseling interventions and exploring ways to enhance the effectiveness of these programs in diverse educational settings.

Published: September 2024

Esse artigo buscou analisar, através de uma revisão bibliográfica, os aspectos de saúde da fascite plantar (FP), como características e tratamentos. A FP é o resultado da irritação degenerativa da origem da fáscia plantar na tuberosidade medial do calcâneo do calcanhar e nas estruturas circundantes. Os pacientes geralmente queixam-se de dor no calcanhar que acompanha os primeiros passos da manhã, após se levantarem. Outros relatam dor no calcanhar após levantarem-se de uma posição sentada prolongada. Em casos de longa data, a dor pode persistir durante os períodos de caminhada e descanso. A sensibilidade apresentada é geralmente provocada inferiormente sobre o tubérculo medial do calcâneo. A FP causa grave comprometimento da qualidade de vida devido à dor cotidiana. Dessa forma, seu tratamento adequado é essencial e perpassa, inicialmente, por terapêutica conservadora com exercícios físicos, fisioterapia, massagem com gelo e uso de drogas antiinflamatórias ou analgésicos. Quando não há resposta ao tratamento conservador indica-se injeções de corticosteróides e plasma rico em plaquetas para propiciar alívio da dor em curto prazo. Importante ressaltar que a condição costuma ser autolimitada com a maior parte dos casos tendo resolução espontânea em cerca de 12 meses.
OS BENEFÍCIOS DA ELETROESTIMULAÇÃO NEUROMUSCULAR NO QUADRÍCEPS DE INDIVÍDUOS EM PÓS OPERATÓRIO DE LIGAMENTO CRUZADO ANTERIOR (LCA)
Authors: Algoso Eduardo Fernando Koga , Rocha Amanda Santiago da 
Published: September 2024

A capacidade reduzida de contrair o músculo quadríceps devido a cirurgia de reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA) é evidente no pós operatório, devido ao mecanismo protetor chamado inibição muscular atrogênica (IAM). A fraqueza crônica e falha na ativação voluntária da musculatura do quadríceps podem persistir por anos após a lesão, aumentando o risco de novas lesões e no desenvolvimento de artrose precoce. A aplicabilidade da eletroestimulação do quadríceps pode ser uma intervenção útil para melhorar os déficits após a reconstrução deste ligamento. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar os benefícios e parâmetros utilizados na eletroestimulação no quadríceps de indivíduos em pós operatório de ligamento cruzado anterior. Foram utilizadas as seguintes bases de dados: PubMed, Scielo, Google Acadêmico e PeDro, utilizando as seguintes palavras chaves “ligamento cruzado anterior, FES, e Quadríceps, com artigos em português e inglês. Os resultados destacam a importância da eletroestimulação o mais precoce possível na reabilitação de LCA, gerando benefícios como a redução do edema e o aumento da força muscular do quadríceps, porém, este recurso apresenta várias divergências na literatura com relação aos parâmetros utilizados, outro ponto relevante a se destacar é a utilização deste recursos que são utilizados de maneira isolada, sempre que possível associar exercícios ativos com a utilização da eletroterapia, afim de potencializar os ganhos de força muscular e preparar o paciente para os estágios seguintes da reabilitação.
Influencia de Girolamo Cardano en la educación de personas sordas: transcripción y traducción al castellano de dos capítulos de la obra De utilitate ex aduersis capienda (1561)

Published: September 2024

Las teorías que sustentaron un cambio de mentalidad sobre la posible educabilidad de las personas sordas es una cuestión que todavía requiere amplia investigación. Mientras que figuras como el monje benedictino Pedro Ponce de León en el siglo XVI o Juan Pablo Bonet y Manuel Ramírez de Carrión en el siglo XVII han suscitado un mayor interés, la fundamentación teórica que nutrió el pensamiento que hizo posible las primeras experiencias de instrucción a infantes sordos es actualmente un misterio. Hasta el momento, no hay evidencias escritas que vinculen las ideas del filósofo, médico y matemático italiano Girolamo Cardano y el primer maestro de niños sordos en España; sin embargo, la primera traducción al castellano que aquí se presenta de los capítulos "De surditate" y "De mutis" de su obra De utilitate ex aduersis capienda (1561) implica un avance significativo e innovador en la investigación de la historia de la educación de las personas sordas. Con ello, no se pretende atribuir un papel que se desconoce si desempeñó, sino facilitar el acceso a un texto que permite profundizar y completar el conocimiento sobre la conceptualización de la sordera en el siglo XVI.
