Authors: Shooya Anatolia T. , Mbhele Patmond T. 
Published: August 2024

Background: Drawing upon the supply chain integration model, this research examined the impact of supply chain integration on resilience. Building resilient supply chains has become paramount because of the complex nature of the contemporary environment. However, adopting supply chain integration mechanisms in the Global South still needs to be stronger.Objectives: The primary objective is to examine the impact of supply chain integration on resilience. This study aims to address the need for more robust supply chain integration mechanisms in the Global South, particularly Namibia, and to explore the relationship between supply chain integration practices and resilience in the Namibian Port Authority.Method: This study employed a quantitative, correlational approach with a sample of 280 participants from the Namibian Port Authority to establish the relationship between supply chain integration practices and resilience. The data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling.Results: Statistical analysis reveals a significant direct impact of supplier, internal, customer and information sharing on supply chain resilience.Conclusion: Building resilient supply chains is crucial because of the contemporary environment. This study provides evidence of the importance of supply chain integration practices in enhancing resilience and contributes to the scant literature on supplier integration in organisations in sub-Saharan Africa.Contribution: This study fills a gap in the literature regarding supplier integration in organisations in sub-Saharan Africa. It offers valuable insights for logisticians on the role of supply chain integration in building resilience and provides important insights to logisticians.

Published: August 2024

Milk quality and quantity is greatly affected by the high incidence of bacterial infection, bovine mastitis (BM) in lactating cows. Bacteria were isolated from mastitis infected cow. The efficacy of antibiotics against the bacteria isolates were determined by agar-well diffusion technique. Eight of the isolates were Gram-negative – Escherichia coli (2), Citrobacter freundii (3), Citrobacter diversus (1), Enterobacter aerogenes (1), Klebsiella pneumoniae (1), while ten were Gram-positive – Staphylococcus spp. (8), and Micrococcus spp. (2). Staphylococcus spp. (44.44%) had the highest percentage occurrence. Gentamicin (25±1.41 mm) and ofloxacin (27.5±0.71 mm) showed the highest zone of inhibition (ZI) against the Gram-positive isolates, but the organisms were 100% resistant to ceftazidime, cefuroxime, augmentin and cloxacillin. Ofloxacin (26.5±2.12 mm) and ciprofloxacin (30±0 mm) showed the highest ZI against the Gram-negative isolates and the organisms were 100% resistant to ceftazidime, cefuroxime, cefixime, and augmentin. Staphylococcus spp., C. freundii, E. coli and Micrococcus spp. were the predominant pathogens associated with BM in the study area. Ofloxacin is very effective against BM but all the organisms were resistant to ceftazidime, cefuroxime and augmentin. This study confirms that antibiotic resistant bacteria are present in BM infection and the antibiotics (ceftazidime, cefuroxime, cefixime, cloxacillin, and augmentin) are not effective therapies for treating BM. Therefore, indiscriminate use of these antibiotics should be discouraged in veterinary medicine.

This study investigated the phytochemicals present in the hexane extracts of red Allium cepa bulbs and Carica papaya leaves and the insecticidal activity of their essential oils against Balanogastris kolae. Saponins, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, phenols, and cardiac glycosides were found in the hexane extracts of A. cepa bulbs and C. papaya leaves. The GC-MS analysis of these essential oils showed that the most abundant compounds in A. cepa oil were the aromatic compounds, which was about 32% of the whole constituents, followed by about 26% organosulfur compounds. In the C. papaya leaf oil, β-Bisabolene (9.3201%), Linalool (2.0773%) and Limonene (1.6953 %) were prominent. The contact toxicity assay showed that the insecticidal activity of essential oil of C. papaya leaf were stronger than that of A. cepa bulb at lower concentrations because after 24 hours of exposure to treatments, percentage mortality of B. kolae was higher in C. papaya, ranging from 65.27 (5% concentration) to 87.50 (15% concentration) compared to that of A. cepa which ranged from 8.06 (10% concentration) to 73.31 (20% concentration). Both A. cepa and C. papaya oil have no fumigant property as there was no statistical difference in percentage mortality across all the treatments.
Conclusion: C. papaya leaf and A. cepa bulb essential oils can be used as a bio-insecticide (contact toxicity) against B. kolae, as they compared favourably with synthetic insecticide, 2, 2 - Dimethyl dichloro vinyl phosphate (DDVP). This is the first report on the use of the essential oils of A. cepa bulbs and C. papaya leaf against Balanogastris kolae.

Spices have been used since time immemorial for various purposes. This study investigated the biochemical and histological effect of a mixture of three spices (Aframomum melegueta, Syzygium aromaticum, and Xylopia aethiopica) commonly employed for various therapeutic activities on biochemical and histological derangements brought about by feeding broiler chickens with aflatoxin- contaminated diet. Twenty-five 6-week-old chickens were randomly placed in five groups containing five birds each. Birds in Groups I, II, and III were the normal, negative, and positive controls while groups IV and V were treated groups. The Chickens were sacrificed on the th 29 day. Tissues and organs were excised for biochemical and histological analyses. The results showed that consumption of an Aflatoxin B1-contaminated diet resulted in decrease in the concentrations and activities of bilirubin, creatinine, uric acid, plasma ALT and AST, SOD, GPx, CAT, TC, TAG, VLDL, and LDL and decrease of liver ALT and AST, kidney ALP and GSH in the tissues and organs with respect to the control group. Histological analyses of the liver and kidney showed that Aflatoxin B1 caused architectural disruptions in the organs and tissues. However, all the metabolic derangements as well as structural alterations in livers and kidneys were ameliorated/ restored in both pre-treated and post-treated groups without causing any apparent distress to the birds. It is suggested that the inclusion of these spices in the diet of chickens has the potential for the prevention and management of aflatoxicosis.

Patient participation: challenges and issues of co-innovation in connected health
Authors: Mbanza Edgar Charles 
Published: August 2024

With connected health and more particularly with the so-called "intelligent" technologies, the patient is faced with a real paradoxical injunction. On the one hand, the new solutions insistently solicit "patient work", making him not a simple user, but a true "co-creator of values" at the very heart of the system's operability. On the other hand, it is the opacity that is observed as the networks spread into the patients' living environments and as the solutions increase their computing power. While patient involvement is becoming an obvious necessity, I propose here to review some of the obstacles to participation in the specific field of current digital innovations. After having painted a sociological picture of the participating patient, I will also underline the interest of forging new categories in order to integrate the most ordinary digital and therapeutic competences and not only those of patient-experts. Finally, I intend to argue in favor of a dynamic and pragmatic framework of participation in co-innovation, a framework able to take into account the heterogeneity of experiential commitments and to resituate the patient's word within the interactional configurations of care (with the other parties involved) and of a shared quest for change.
Avec la santé connectée et plus particulièrement celle ayant trait aux technologies dites « intelligentes », le malade se trouve face à une véritable injonction paradoxale. D’un côté, les nouvelles solutions sollicitent de manière insistante « le travail patient », faisant de lui, non pas un simple usager, mais un véritable « co-créateur de valeurs » au cœur même de l’opérativité du système. D’un autre côté, c’est l’opacité qui s’observe au fur et mesure que les réseaux se diffusent dans les environnements de vie des malades et que les solutions augmentent leur puissance de calcul. Alors que l’implication des patients s’impose de plus en plus comme une évidente nécessité, je propose ici de revenir sur quelques freins à la participation dans le domaine précis des innovations numériques actuelles. Après avoir brossé un tableau sociologique du patient participant, il sera par ailleurs souligné l’intérêt de forger de nouvelles catégories afin d’intégrer les compétences numériques et thérapeutiques les plus ordinaires et non plus seulement celles des patients-experts. Je compte enfin argumenter en faveur d’un cadre dynamique et pragmatique de participation en co-innovation, un cadre à même de prendre en compte l’hétérogénéité des engagements expérientiels et de resituer la parole patiente au sein des configurations interactionnelles du soin (avec les autres parties impliquées) et d’une quête partagée de changement.
Nothing about us without us: exploratory and participatory studies of voice-hearing groups in France
Authors: Evrard Renaud , Braun Arthur , Raffort Clémentine 
Published: August 2024

Hearing voices is a human experience that no longer belongs solely to the fields of psychiatry and psychology. Over the past forty years, the perception of this phenomenon has been gradually transformed for mental health professionals, classification manuals and voice hearers themselves. This evolution is underpinned by the emergence of an international movement, the Hearing Voices Movement, made up of voice-hearers and, in some cases, users or former users of psychiatry. With the aim of proposing new forms of support for these experiences, a number of groups aimed at voice hearers have gradually emerged. Our two exploratory studies, based on questionnaires created in collaboration with voice hearers and group facilitators, examine the therapeutic evaluation of these settings, as well as mental health professionals' perceptions of them.
Entendre des voix est une expérience humaine qui n'appartient plus aux seuls domaines de la psychiatrie et de la psychologie. Au cours des quarante dernières années, la perception de ce phénomène s'est progressivement transformée pour les professionnels de santé mentale, les manuels de classifications ainsi que pour les entendeurs de voix eux-mêmes. Cette évolution s’appuie sur l'émergence d'un mouvement international, le Hearing Voices Mouvement, constitué d'entendeurs de voix et pour certains d’usagers ou d'ancien usagers de la psychiatrie. Dans le but de proposer de nouvelles formes d'accompagnement de ces manifestations, de nombreux groupes à destination des entendeurs ont progressivement vu le jour. Nos deux études exploratoires se proposent d’interroger, par l'intermédiaire de différents questionnaires créés en collaboration avec des entendeurs et des facilitateurs de groupes, l'évaluation thérapeutique de ces dispositifs ainsi que la représentation que les professionnels de la santé mentale peuvent en avoir.

Authors: Laksana Nyoman Orthi 
Published: August 2024

Introduction : In elderly, pelvic ring injury can happen in low energy trauma, thus can be a problem in mortality rate. The initial treatment prior to stabilize the hemodynamic and pelvic injury, with goal of the treatment is to minimize the further risk and complications. The surgical technique is minimal invasive technique (approach) that made less dissection and damage the structure. Case presentation : 76 years old female, fall from a height with her left hip bump to the floor. In the emergency department, there was a problem with the hemodynamic and already stabilized with balance fluid, blood transfusion and pelvic sling, finally followed by surgery for six days later. Discussion : After hemodynamic stabilization, performed with plate screw fixation by modified stoppa and lateral window, in the posterior with percutaneous screw, allowed safe and less damaging the structures and early recover, mobilization, less stay in the hospital. Conclusion : In elderly, pelvic ring injury is a high risk of mortality. By proper treatment, less or minimize the approach, with modified stoppa and percutaneous screw for posterior, the risk and complication might have decreased.

Prevention of Cisplatin-induced oral mucositis (OM) Presents substantial challenges due to its association with oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and NFκB pathway activation. This study aims to evaluate the potential of Nigella sativa (NS) extract in inhibiting a cisplatin-induced oral mucositis. Cisplatin-induced oral mucositis was modeled in experimental groups treated with varying doses of NS extract (125, 250 and 500 mg/kg BW), compared to negative controls and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as a positive control. Expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were analysed under Western blot analysis, the p50 and p65 gene expression level was determined by qRT-PCR analysis. NS extract notably inhibited TNF-α expression compared to the negative control group, akin to the positive control (NAC). Additionally, NS extract exhibited a dose-dependent regulation of NFκB pathway subunits (p50 and p65) towards levels closer to the baseline, indicating its potential in modulating the inflammatory pathway. The findings suggest that NS extract possesses promising therapeutic potential in mitigating inflammation and NFκB pathway activation in cisplatin-induced oral mucositis.
HIGHLIGHTS
As far as we have seen, similar studies in experimental animals using Nigella sativa oil related to histopathological findings of oral mucositis due to cisplatin. This study demonstrated Nigella sativa (NS) extract’s potential in mitigating cisplatin-induced oral mucositis (OM) by inhibiting TNF-α and modulating NFκB pathway subunits (p50 and p65). This highlights NS extract as a promising therapeutic agent for OM associated with cisplatin treatment.

Economic, Social, and Demographic Aspects of Low Birth Rates in the Republic of Korea in the 21st Century
Authors: Проткова Е.В. 
Published: August 2024

Аннотация. Институт семьи в развитых странах сильно изменился за последние 50 лет в связи с такими глобальными явлениями, как эмансипация, глобализация, индустриализация, урбанизация и изобретение противозачаточных средств. Особый интерес в этом плане представляет Республика Корея, которая в 2022 г. второй раз подряд стала страной с самым низким уровнем рождаемости. Цель данной работы — проанализировать, каким образом экономические, демографические и социальные факторы влияют на естественный прирост населения в Республике Корея. Анализ показал, что меры правительства по стимулированию рождаемости малоэффективны, так как не могут в достаточной мере удовлетворить потребности молодой семьи. Финансовая нестабильность, высокая конкуренция истощают население, что приводит к отказу от рождения детей, а патриархальная корпоративная культура и устаревшие представления о семей ной жизни давят на женщин, вынуждая их выбирать между карьерой и браком.
The institution of the family in developed countries has undergone significant transformations over the past five decades, influenced by global phenomena such as emancipation, globalization, industrialization, urbanization, and the advent of contraception. The Republic of Korea stands out as a prime example of this evolution, experiencing the lowest birth rates in the last two years. This study aims to analyze the influence of economic, demographic, and social factors on natural population growth in the Republic of Korea. The analysis reveals that government initiatives aimed at boosting birth rates have proven ineffective, as they fail to adequately address the needs of young families. Financial instability and intense competition deplete the population, discouraging childbirth, while patriarchal corporate cultures and antiquated notions offamily life impose pressures on women, compelling them to navigate between career and marriage
Denominal Nominals in Toba Batak: A Generative Transformational Study
Authors: Ambarita Esron 
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this article is to elaborate denominal nominalsin Toba Batak language from the view point of generative transformational study. The theory applied in this study is modified theory of Halle‟s model. Therefore, there are six components of sets of generative transformational rules as modified theory in this study, i.e. List of Morphemes, Word Formation Rules, Filter, Orthographic Rules, Phonological Rules, and Dictionary. The data were analysedby applying modified theory with reference to Halle‟s theory as the main theory. The method of this study is descriptive qualitative. The data were collected by using observation and interview. The collected data are voice-recordings and writings. The research findings show that denominalnominals in Toba Batak language are done by attaching (1) prefix [par-], (2) prefix [sa-], (3) infix [-ar-], (4) confix [ha-an], (5) confix[par-an], (6) and affix combination [pasi-]. The resultof the affixation processes generate complex words which have new grammatical and lexical meanings. Phoneme addition takes place in morphological process particularly with prefix [sa-]. The inflectional processes of attaching those affixes bring about phonologicalidiosincracy, therefore, such words must be processed in filter to generate acceptable words in Toba Bataklanguage.
Key Words: Denominal Nominals, Infelctional, Generative Transformational Study.
