Abstract

Context:
Managing patients on anticoagulant therapy, such as warfarin, can be challenging due to various factors. Implementing a specialized care model can be a useful strategy to address this issue. Studies have demonstrated that pharmacist-led anticoagulation therapy leads to improved outcomes.

Aims:
We aimed to assess the anticoagulation quality of warfarin therapy achieved by the implementation of a Clinical Pharmacist-led Anticoagulation Clinic at a cardiac center.

Materials and Methods:
In conjunction with the cardiac center, the hospital’s pharmaceutical care department established a clinic. The anticoagulation quality was evaluated by determining the time in the therapeutic range (TTR), which was calculated using the Rosendaal method. Data were collected from February 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, in a retrospective manner.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Both descriptive and inferential analyses were performed and are presented as counts, percentages, and means ± standard deviation, as appropriate. A paired t test was used to compare the mean TTR, and the outcomes were logistically regressed against candidate factors. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.

Results:
A total of 66 patients were eligible for inclusion in the study. The mean TTR was 73.4% ± 21.1%, compared to 46.9% ± 29.5% before clinic implementation. After clinic implementation, the proportion of patients who were able to reach a TTR of ≥70% increased from 28.8% to 60.6%. During clinical pharmacist care, there was one major bleeding event (0.7%/year), nine minor bleeding events (6%/year), and one thromboembolic event (0.7%/year). Age, comorbidities, and warfarin dose were not found to affect the TTR. However, females had a reduced likelihood of a TTR ≥70% (95% confidence interval, 0.11–0.89; P = 0.029).

Conclusions:
A clinical pharmacist-led anticoagulation clinic was implemented successfully, which resulted in positive outcomes in patient care by achieving a good TTR (≥70%) and low warfarin-related adverse events.
Crossed Product Interpretation of the Double Shuffle Lie Algebra Attached to a Finite Abelian Group
Authors: Yaddaden Khalef 
Published: October 2024

Racinet studied a scheme associated with the double shuffle and regularization relations between multiple polylogarithm values at

N

th roots of unity and constructed a group scheme attached to the situation; he also showed it to be the specialization for

G=\mu_{N}

of a group scheme

\operatorname{\mathsf{DMR}}_{0}^{G}

attached to a finite abelian group

G

. Then Enriquez and Furusho proved that

\operatorname{\mathsf{DMR}}_{0}^{G}

can be essentially identified with the stabilizer of a coproduct element arising in Racinet’s theory with respect to the action of a group of automorphisms of a free Lie algebra attached to

G

. We reformulate Racinet’s construction in terms of crossed products. Racinet’s coproduct can then be identified with a coproduct

\widehat{\Delta}^{\mathcal{M}}_{G}

defined on a module

\widehat{\mathcal{M}}_{G}

over an algebra

\widehat{\mathcal{W}}_{G}

, which is equipped with its own coproduct

\widehat{\Delta}^{\mathcal{W}}_{G}

, and the group action on

\widehat{\mathcal{M}}_{G}

extends to a compatible action of

\widehat{\mathcal{W}}_{G}

. We then show that the stabilizer of

\widehat{\Delta}^{\mathcal{M}}_{G}

, hence

\operatorname{\mathsf{DMR}}_{0}^{G}

, is contained in the stabilizer of

\widehat{\Delta}^{\mathcal{W}}_{G}

thus generalizing a result of Enriquez and Furusho [Selecta Math. (N.S.) 29 (2023), article no. 3]. This yields an explicit group scheme containing

\operatorname{\mathsf{DMR}}_{0}^{G}

, which we also express in the Racinet formalism.
Economic loss to chickens’ farmers caused by invasive Indian house crow (<i>Corvus splendens</i>) predation in Dodoma, Tanzania
Authors: Ngongolo Kelvin , Mrimi Doreen 
Published: October 2024

Corvus splendens, also known as the Indian house crow (IHC), is an invasive bird species introduced to Zanzibar from India. It has become widespread throughout the Tanzania regions, particularly in Dodoma Urban. However, there has been limited research on the broader effects of predation on chickens.In Dodoma, Tanzania, Indian house crows (Corvus splendens) are known to prey on chicks, causing significant financial hardship for poultry owners. This study aimed to investigate the monetary losses incurred due to crow predation across various chicken age groups and seasonal variations. A semi-structured qualitative questionnaire survey was conducted to gather information from 403 farmers in the wards of Makulu, Makole, and Ndachi, with Makulu and Makole identified as the urban and peri-urban areas of the wards, respectively. The collected data were then analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests and a Generalized Linear Model.Farmers reported higher predation rates by Indian house crows on chicks and eggs compared to other age groups of chickens. Chicks and eggs were found to be more vulnerable and less capable of defending themselves against predation, resulting in a substantial economic loss of 27,739.64 Tsh (1.21 USD) per farmer per year. Economic losses were further analyzed across different seasons, revealing the months of April to August experienced the highest predation rates per year per farmer compared to other seasons (P<0.005). In conclusion, highlighting potential ramifications for poultry management and conservation efforts in Dodoma and analogous regions would offer readers crucial insights. This study emphasizes the adverse effects of Indian house crow predation on chicken populations, resulting in substantial economic losses for poultry farmers in Dodoma. An in-depth understanding of crow predation dynamics can inform the formulation of strategies to safeguard poultry and mitigate economic losses in the region.
Federal Supreme Court Cassation Decisions on Child Rights in Light of the CRC and Ethiopian Laws
Authors: Abreha Mesele Zinabu  
Published: October 2024

Even though Ethiopia acceded to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (the CRC) about eight months after it entered into force, the Federal Supreme Court (FSC) Cassations Bench took a long time to cite provisions from the CRC in its decisions. The Supreme Court has recently started citing provisions from the CRC to substantiate its binding interpretation and decisions. In its cassation division, the Ethiopian Supreme Court is mandated to render binding interpretation of legal provisions as stipulated under Article 10(2) of the Federal Courts Proclamation No. 1234/2013. So far, the Federal Supreme Court has published 25 volumes on different subject matters including family, criminal, civil, labour, and tort cases. This article explores the influence of CRC provisions in interpreting children’s rights before the Supreme Court’s cassation division. Moreover, this article assesses the attention given to CRC’s provisions in the Supreme Court’s binding interpretation process and decisions. The article also notes the significance of binding interpretations of child rights in light of their contribution to the development of the scope of legal protection bestowed toward children's rights domestically.

Rabies is a fatal viral zoonosis of serious public health concern worldwide that occurs in over 150 countries. In Nigeria, the disease is endemic and remains neglected, misdiagnosed and underreported. The level of public awareness perceptions and attitudes towards the disease are important factors in planning for effective control strategies. The aim of the study is to assess dog owners’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) towards rabies in Sabon Gari Local Government Area (LGA), Kaduna state. Structured questionnaire was prepared and administered between December 2022 and March 2023 to 400 dog owners to assess their KAP towards rabies. The survey gathered data on demographic characteristics of the dog owners and KAP of dog owners towards rabies. Associations between demographic variables and the scores related to KAP were analyzed using Chi square (χ2). Majority (94.6%) of the dog owners have heard about rabies; however, 54% were ignorant of the fact that rabies spread through the saliva of a rabid dog. Only 47.8% knew that rabies has no cure. Most respondents (67.8%) did not know that at 3 months of age all dogs should receive their first dose of anti-rabies vaccination. There was a statistically significant association (P= 0.00) between educational level and occupation of respondents with the categorized knowledge score. Dog owners had acceptable knowledge of rabies (68.9%) and a positive attitude (77.5%). They, however, lack comprehensive understanding of the disease. Unsatisfactory practices from the dog owners (51.2%) were also identified. Dog owners should be given more enlightenment on the importance of rabies vaccination for dogs and the potential risks associated with rabies transmission.

This study involved 300 patients, comprising 113 females and 187 males, from six X-ray units. The study focused on evaluating the patient dose for common X-ray examinations at selected hospitals in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar, Tanzania. The achieved results were compared with previous studies and Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs). Entrance surface air kerma (ESAK) was calculated for chest posteroanterior (PA), cervical spine anteroposterior/lateral (AP/Lat), abdomen anteroposterior (AP), and lumbar spine anteroposterior/lateral (AP/LAT) examinations. The study results revealed the following average ESAK values: chest posteroanterior (PA), 0.34 mGy; abdomen anteroposterior (AP), 1.92 mGy; lumbar spine anteroposterior (AP), 2.78 mGy; and lumbar spine lateral (Lat), 11.8 mGy. When these results were compared to previous published results, there was only a slight deviation among calculated ESAK. A serious deviation was found in chest examinations. The results from this study highlight the importance of optimizing and justifying procedures, as well as the establishment of National Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs). The values described in this study could further contribute to the development of local, regional, and international DRLs

Authors: Samiji Margaret E , Mlyuka Nuru R 
Published: October 2024

Clean cooking energy is a global priority, especially in developing countries where firewood and charcoal remain the primary cooking fuels. Solar cooking is an attractive alternative in these countries since it is eco-friendly and utilises freely available solar radiation. Utilisation of solar cookers however is still very low mainly due to the perceived complexity and lack of confidence in the available solar cooker models. In this work, the enhanced box and parabolic solar cookers were designed, fabricated and tested taking into consideration standard solar cookers and local cooking requirements. The enhanced box solar cooker was designed with booster mirrors making an effective aperture area of 0.68 m2, a double glass glazing and a glass wool insulator between the double walls of the cooking box. The parabolic cooker was designed with polished aluminium paraboloid with a net aperture area of 1.44 m2, a parabola depth of 0.47 m and manual solar tracking. In field tests in Isimani Tanzania, the enhanced solar cooker attained a maximum temperature and cooking power of 129.8 °C and 101.9 W, respectively, and was able to boil 2 litres of water in 100 minutes. The parabolic cooker on the other hand registered a maximum cooking power of 513 W at solar noon and was able to boil 2 and 5 litres of water in reasonable times of 30 and 60 minutes, respectively.

In today's era of globalization, where the boundaries between countries are increasingly blurred and international trade is on the rise, it is important for students to understand the export-import skills. With a strong understanding of international trade, students can expand their career opportunities, broaden their insights into global markets, help address social and environmental challenges related to international trade, expand their professional networks, and become responsible global citizens. A policy that can accommodate students' needs regarding the above issues is the Kampus Merdeka policy. The mentoring activities for the studi independen process of Kampus Merdeka are based on the needs of students regarding the importance of having supervising lecturers who can serve as consultation points to ensure the success and effectiveness of the program. This mentoring activity is carried out during the period from February to April 2024. The objective of implementing this mentoring process is to ensure that a total of 50 students under the guidance of lecturers can successfully complete the program at Yayasan Sekolah Ekspor Nasional. The mentoring activities are conducted using three methods: mentoring, consultation and evaluation, as well as documentation and reporting. The results of this mentoring process indicate that out of the 8 competencies offered by the partners, students obtained the highest average scores in the export payment and documentation competency with a score of 91.2 and Continuous Improvement with a score of 96.8. Meanwhile, the two competencies with the lowest average scores are Export Logistics with a score of 65 and Export Research and Strategy with a score of 65.6. The recommendations include the creation of a learning calendar by the Kampus Merdeka team and partners, should also be communicated to the program's mentor and lecturer, and the coordination between mentor and the lecturer needs to be improved.
AKTUALISASI FAST TRACK LEGISLATION DI BERBAGAI NEGARA SERTA PENGADOPSIAN METODENYA PADA PEMBENTUKAN PERATURAN PERUNDANG-UNDANGAN DI INDONESIA

Published: October 2024

Sejak Oktober 2019 sampai Desember 2020 dalam kurun waktu 2 tahun dibawah pemerintahan Presiden Joko Widodo dan Wakil Presiden Ma’aruf Amin, proses pembentukan undang-undang banyak mendapatkan sorotan. Hal tersebut dikarenakan adanya pembuatan Undang-Undang yang bersifat Fast-Track Legislation atau biasa disebut pembentukan Undang-Undang yang dilakukan secara cepat dan terlihat tergesa-gesa. Fast-Track Legislation (FTL) merupakan sebuah cara dalam membahas rancangan Undang-Undang secara Cepat, mekanisme ini dibuat dalam hal merespon situasi genting baik yang bersifat alam maupun non alam. Terdapat beberapa negara yang telah mengadopsi mekanisme legislasi jalur cepat seperti negara United Kingdom, Selandia Baru, Amerika Serikat dan Ekuador, negara-negara tersebut sudah mengadopsinya dan membuat payung hukum khusus untuk penggunaan metode fast track legislation. berbeda dengan di Indonesia yang tidak mengenal konsep tersebut, tetapi beberapa undang-undang yang menggunakan metode fast track legislation ini, maka dari hal itu banyak kegaduhan akibat tergesa-gesanya para legislator dalam menggunakan metode tersebut.

From October 2019 to December 2020 within 2 years under the administration of President Joko Widodo and Vice President Ma'aruf Amin, the process of forming laws received much attention. This is because there is a Fast-Track Legislation or commonly called the formation of laws that are carried out quickly and look hasty. Fast-Track Legislation (FTL) is a way to discuss draft laws quickly, this mechanism is made in terms of responding to critical situations both natural and non-natural. There are several countries that have adopted fast-track legislation mechanisms such as the United Kingdom, New Zealand, the United States and Ecuador, these countries have adopted it and created a special legal umbrella for the use of fast track legislation methods. Unlike in Indonesia which does no recognize the concept, but some laws that use the fast track legislation method This, therefore, caused a lot of noise due to the haste of legislators in using this method
