Published: October 2024

This paper explores employee insights into organizational justice and job performance. It also examines the association between employee insights into organizational justice and their personal traits and analyzes the association between employee insights into organizational justice and job performance. This study used descriptive statistics as well as correlation analysis. The survey data were gathered from 250 employees of ten insurance companies (including both life and non-life) in Kathmandu Valley. The results indicate a significant and positive association between employee insights into organizational justice and job performance. It indicates that the justice of management matters a lot in enhancing employee job performance at work. The study's findings also reveal a substantial association between all employees' demographic characteristics and their insights into organizational justice. It indicates that when employers treat their employees fairly, they do well on the job. To develop a climate of organizational justice, organizations must ensure that rewards and resources are distributed fairly. It should prioritize clear compensation policies, fair reward systems, and performance-based incentives. It must also prioritize the establishment of fair and consistent decision-making systems by creating standardized systems for evaluations, promotions, and disciplinary actions. In addition, fostering respectful and equitable interpersonal interactions can also help to build an environment of organizational justice. For this, organizations must train managers and supervisors on effective communication skills, emphasizing the importance of treating employees with dignity and respect, promoting open-door policies in which employees feel comfortable discussing concerns, and ensuring that managers provide clear and honest clarification for decisions. All of these activities ultimately increase employees' willingness to optimize their potential for higher levels of job performance.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to describe the results of a case series of laparoscopic pyelolithotomies and ureterolithotomies performed at the Hospital General de México and demonstrate that the laparoscopic management still has a place among the therapeutic options in our country.
Material and methods: Retrospective analysis on patients that underwent laparoscopic pyelolithotomy or laparoscopic ureterolithotomy, within the time frame of 2013 and 2022. Intraoperative variables of blood loss, surgery duration, and complications; and the postoperative variables of hospital stay, time to double-J stent removal, and complications were analyzed.
Results: 46 underwent laparoscopic pyelolithotomy and 29 underwent laparoscopic ureterolithotomy. Mean patient age was 45 years. Forty-three of the procedures were right-sided, 31 were left-sided, and there was one case of ectopic pelvic kidney. The pyelolithotomy results were: stone size of 24x20mm (8.8-60 x 5-60), 1034 HU, S.T.O.N.E. score of 6, surgery duration of 124 min, blood loss of 72ml, and hospital stay of 2.3 days. The ureterolithotomy results were: stone size of 22x11mm (10-80mm x 7.8-20), 980 HU, surgery duration of 101min, blood loss of 31ml, and hospital stay of 2.4 days. There were 3 intraoperative complications and 4 postoperative complications.
Conclusión: Laparoscopic surgery can be a feasible and reproducible alternative to endourologic management, with good results, in large volume (>20mm) single stones.
PRISIÓN PREVENTIVA POR INCUMPLIMIENTO DE LAS MEDIDAS CAUTELARES PERSONALES SUSTITUTIVAS EN EL PROCESO PENAL DE SANTIAGO DE VERAGUAS
Authors: Peñalba R. Luis G. 
Published: October 2024

Las medidas cautelares personales, representan una alternativa para evitar la imposición directa de la prisión preventiva. Cuando una medida se impone se debe tomar en cuenta diversos factores de riesgos en base a la naturaleza del hecho, dado a que así se evita que se destruya la prueba o exista el riesgo de fuga. En el Código Procesal Penal, en el artículo 224, se desglosa los tipos de medidas cautelares, destacando que la última es la prisión preventiva porque primero se evalúan todas las demás, antes de imponer dicha medida o más bien cuando se realizan cambios por el incumplimiento de las demás. Las medidas cautelares personales representan una alternativa para evitar la imposición directa de la prisión preventiva. El incumplimiento de estas medidas genera la revocación por parte del Juez de Garantías, debido a que la persona se convierte en un riesgo en el proceso; es decir, existe la probabilidad de que se fuge, dañe o contamine las evidencias. De ahí, la importancia de este tema para identificar la correcta aplicación de las medidas alternativas a la prisión preventiva y cuáles son sus consecuencias jurídicas, ya que las víctimas quedan desprotegidas y se vulnera su derecho. El propósito de este trabajo fue analizar el incumplimiento de las medidas cautelares personales, que inciden en el cambio a prisión preventiva en el proceso penal de Santiago de Veraguas. Un tema innovador que sirve de referencia para futuras investigaciones al brindar información que a nivel nacional no existe. La metodología utilizada es la cuantitativa, diseño descriptivo de tipo no experimental de corte transversal. Se elige una muestra de diez participantes, representada por los actores del proceso penal. El instrumento aplicado fue la encuesta con preguntas cerradas. Se concluye que las personas incumplen con las medidas cautelares personales impuestas por el Juez de Garantía, porque tienden a no ser tan lesivas, por lo que provoca que se incurra en el delito. El poco conocimiento que tiene la población con respecto a este tema es lo que lleva al incumplimiento.

PurposeThis study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in diagnosing and monitoring hepatic abscesses (HA).Material and methodsThis retrospective study included 29 patients (9 females, 20 males) with 64 HA. Computed tomography (CT) served as the diagnostic benchmark, compared with CEUS and B-mode ultrasound (B-mode). Two radiologists assessed the presence, size, and characteristics of the HA.ResultsThe contrast enhancement pattern on CEUS matched post-contrast CT. Lesion size detected by CEUS ranged from 1.16 cm to 15.33 cm (median 5.74 cm). CT classified lesions into four types: I (tumor-like) – 2, II (honeycomb) – 5, III (lacunar) – 23, IV (cystic-like) – 34. CEUS fully agreed with these classifications. B-mode missed two type I lesions. For type III abscesses, agreement with CEUS was perfect (κ = 1, 100%), and moderate with B-mode (κ = 0.50, 79.7%). For type IV abscesses, agreement with CEUS was perfect (κ = 1, 100%), and high with B-mode (κ = 0.88, 93.75%). Pus enhancement remained stable (± 15 dB), while the abscess pouch background varied (± 11 dB to ± 6 dB). The Mann-Whitney U test confirmed these observations (arterial: p = 1.02e-14, portal: p = 3.79e-12, late venous: p = 4.53e-13). No significant difference in enhancement values was found based on abscess size (> 4 cm vs. < 4 cm).ConclusionsCEUS is superior to B-mode for diagnosing and monitoring HA, offering clearer views of the abscess pouch, septa, and liver parenchyma. The purulent part lacks contrast, allowing accurate assessment. CEUS can replace CT for monitoring and aid in patient selection for percutaneous intervention.

Abstract. Bottom water formation in the Weddell Sea and mass loss from the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf are tightly linked by the supply of Warm Deep Water to the continental shelf. Heavy sea ice cover and icebergs restrict ship access and upper-ocean measurements by moorings, compelling us to try new sampling methods. We present results from the first dedicated under-sea-ice float experiment tracking circulation on the continental shelf of the eastern Weddell Sea. Seven Apex profiling floats were deployed in 2017 at three different locations on the eastern Weddell Sea continental shelf, targeting the inflowing modified Warm Deep Water (mWDW), as well as the outflowing Ice Shelf Water (ISW). The floats capture a warm mWDW regime with southward inflow over the eastern continental shelf and a cold ISW regime with a recirculation of ISW in the Filchner Trough throughout the 4 years of observations. We provide the first Lagrangian in situ confirmation that the mWDW flowing onto the continental shelf follows two pathways: the eastern flank of the Filchner Trough and a small trough on the shallow shelf farther east. In the present circulation regime, this warm water is blocked from reaching the ice shelf cavity due to the presence of the thick ISW layer inside the Filchner Trough. The floats' trajectories and hydrography reveal the dynamically active front, flow reversal, and eddying motion between these two water masses along the eastern flank of the Filchner Trough.

Authors: Obakanurhe Oghenebrorhie 
Published: October 2024

The emerging effects of climate change and the increasing cost of grains have been a serious issue to animal nutritionist in the tropics. This study evaluates the performance of broiler finisher chickens fed different processed cassava UMUCASS 36 (vitamin A) root meals (PCRM) as substitute for maize in the diets of 108 Arbor Acre (starter) finisher chickens for 21days. Six diets were formulated and the test diet was supplemented to the birds as partial and whole. The birds were fed T1 as the control, T2 had 25% each of oven-dried and sun-dried cassava root meal, T3 had 25% maize and 25% oven-dried cassava root meal, T4 had 25% maize and 25% sun-dried cassava root meal, while T5 had only 50% oven-dried cassava root meal, and T6 also had only 50% sun-dried cassava root meal respectively. Data were collected on the performance characteristics, blood indices and serum antioxidant of the birds. Performance characteristics of the birds revealed that T4 recorded significant (p<0.05) values of 2722.32 g, 1559.62 g and 1.61 final weight, weight gain and FCR respectively in comparison to the other treatments. The test diets did not show any adverse effect on the haematology and serum biochemistry of the birds. However, on the serum antioxidant status, T5 and T6 showed better values on the Aspartate aminotransferase and Alanine aminotransferase of the birds. The result on Superoxide dismutase and Malondialdehyde of the birds revealed that T4 and T6 recorded higher and lower values respectively. It was concluded that broiler finisher chickens could be fed up to 50% processed cassava root meal, inclusion using both techniques without detrimental effects.
An evaluation of the Teachable Moments A&E Service: Correlating age with presenting needs and assessing how family difficulties impact intervention effectiveness
Authors: Garner Ian 
Published: October 2024

In 2019, the Home Office established 18 Violence Reduction Partnerships to reduce violence by understanding health, social care, and economic needs and identifying risk and protective factors to support community-level interventions. The Teachable Moments A&E programme was commissioned in 2021 as part of the violence reduction partnerships to support children and young people with presenting needs in hospital A&E and Major Trauma departments for violence-related activities. This study expanded on previous evaluations of the programme and considered how to improve the efficiency of the programme.Monitoring data were collected over a six-month period for 601 service users. Polyseries correlations were performed between age and participants’ presenting needs, and moderation analyses were performed to assess if family-wide challenges reduce the effectiveness of the Teachable Moments programme in improve service-user outcomes.There was a strong positive correlation between age and the presenting needs peer relationships, employment, and housing, as well as a strong negative correlation between age and self-harm. Moreover, moderation analyses show that unsupported family-wide difficult significantly reduce the effectiveness of the Teachable Moments intervention on improving the outcomes self-esteem, reducing risk, health and wellbeing, relationships, and employment/education.Findings show that as participants age, the prevalence of presenting needs is likely to vary which can allow the Teachable Moments programme to offer preventative support as service-users age and become more at-risk. Additionally, moderation analyses show that support programmes for service-users should extend beyond the individual and towards family-wide support in cases where support is required to improve the effectiveness of the Teachable Moments service.Paper Content:this paper expands on previous evaluations of the Teachable Moments service and considers how to improve the effectiveness of the interventions for service-users.Practical Implications of the paper:Findings from the paper offer insight into how the Teachable moments service can be altered to reduce future risk for service users by improving preventative measures towards specific presenting needs based on age, and how the programme can be expanded to account for factors around the service user that may reduce the effectiveness of the intervention.

Published: October 2024

Insemination of donor sperm is an interesting subject to study. There is a chance that the child from the donor's sperm will not be recognized by the parents if it is different from expectations. Therefore, in terms of recognition, both in terms of positive law and Islamic law, it is an interesting problem to study. The aims of this study are: (1) to find out Islamic criminal law views on donor sperm insemination; (2) to find out the form of sanctions insemination of donor sperm according to Islamic criminal law. The design used in this study was normative legal research with a (statute approach) from the perspective of Islamic criminal law. In this study, documentation data collection techniques were used. Analysis technique normative legal research,used was descriptive-analysis with evaluation, interpretive, construction, and content analysis. Islamic criminal law views on donor sperm insemination is haram (forbidden) in Islamic perspective. The law is the same as adultery and children born from this kind of insemination have the same status as children born outside of a legal marriage. Perspective of Islamic criminal law on perpetrators. Artificial insemination with donor sperm cells is not restricted as is the law of fornication in adultery, however, artificial insemination with donor sperm is ta'zir on the grounds that the elements in the hadd of adultery are not fulfilled because there is no direct sexual intercourse.
