Authors: Maluleke Khisimusi D. , Hasrod Nabeela , Rubin Alan 
Published: August 2024

Background: Non-cycloplegic subjective refraction (NCSR) is useful to measure refractive errors with active ocular accommodation.Aim: This study aimed to compare annual NCSR distributions between January 2018 and December 2019.Setting: The study was conducted in the Optometry Clinic at Sekororo Hospital in Limpopo province, South Africa.Methods: Data, extracted retrospectively from the clinical archive, were randomly stratified into two strata (2018 and 2019) for analysis. Stereo-pair scatter plots and polar plots of variance were used to better understand the samples concerned.Results: Clinic patients were mostly females of African descent. Mean ages and standard deviations (± SD) for the 2018 and 2019 samples were similar (48.35 ± 20.86 years and 46.22 ± 20.36 years, respectively). For the 2018 sample, the clinical means for NCSR for the right and left eyes, respectively, were similar (R −0.44 ‒0.15 × 86 and L ‒0.46 ‒0.16 × 75) and similar for the 2019 samples (R ‒0.38 ‒0.17 × 77 and L ‒0.14 ‒0.05 × 99). Samples were not normally distributed and outliers were present, although uncommon. Sample variances were mainly spherical rather than astigmatic.Conclusion: Non-cycloplegic subjective refractions were mostly classified as mild ([−2: 2 D]) compound myopic astigmatism. Severe myopia (|6 D|) and hyperopia were uncommon.Contribution: This article adds to current scientific knowledge of multivariate methods for the analysis of refractive states, especially when applied within rural environments. Such multivariate methods are ideally suited for the analysis of distributions of refractive state.

Published: August 2024

The article critically examines the social work curriculum of few selected social work institutions in India. By using the content analysis method, the article analyses the changing trends of social work curriculum in Indian universities. The study found that few selected institutions have incorporated the Indic indigenous components and theories in social work curriculum in line with New Education Policy (NEP), 2020 of Government of India and fulfillment of sustainable development goal of quality education in comparison to the top-ranking social work institutions which are still following the western concepts, models and theories. The study reveals that prevalence of Euro-American-centric social work curriculum, lack of uniformity in curriculum across universities and non-standardised fieldwork training is hampering the quality of social work education in India. Besides that, it also highlights the importance of Indianisation of social work curriculum towards the fulfillment of sustainable development goals. This article will be very useful for global social work fraternity as it highlights the changing trends of social work curriculum in Indian universities.

Direct Air Capture: Economy and Technical Cost of Low-Purity CO2 on Post-Capture Operating Cost
Authors: Abidoye Luqman 
Published: August 2024

Direct air capture has the potential to capture from innumerable random, mobile and immobile small-scale carbon-emission sources. In this study, simulations result of Direct Air Capture (DAC) reveal the isentropic compression work increases as the mole fraction of CO2 decreases in the stream. At the same depth of sequestration, compression power requirement increases by 20% to sequestrate 10% CO2 stream compared to pure CO2. Also, sequestration at deeper geological layer further raises the power cost of the compression by approximately 14% from 1000 to 1500m and by almost 32% from 1500m to 2500m depth, for pure CO2. This increases to around 34% for storage at 2500m with 50% CO2 mole fraction and 36% for 20% CO2 fraction at the same depth. Similarly, the cost of cooling compressed CO2 increases in proportion to the reduction in CO2 mole fraction in the gas stream. It was shown that the solution density increase with impurities as a result of falling pH in the presence of N2 and O2.

Published: August 2024

Fluid aspiration is a common procedure undertaken during emergency situations in hospitals to remove airway blockages in patients. This activity is capable of increasing the risk of transmission of infections from patients to physicians or vice versa. Prevention or significant reduction of such infections is necessary. The goal of this paper is to develop and evaluate a foot activated fluid aspirator. The proposed device was designed using Autodesk Inventor Software. The device was designed and fabricated largely from locally available materials including plane sheets of metal, bacteria filter, two canister (waste bottle), 3 meter length tubing, pressure regulator control knob, AC power switch, 2 horse power compressor motors, 220V contactor relay switch, air flow adaptor, four pieces of castor (rollers), four cans of spray paint (white and black), one full length plywood (Formica), two yards of furniture mat, pressure gauge, Light Emitting Diodes (red and orange), canister hanger, window net (hard),13 amps AC plug, 10 µf AC capacitor, and one diathermy pedal switch. The fluid aspirator is dual powered and activated using a one-way switch and a single mechanical pedal switch. Evaluation of the device functionality returned a suction time of 2.02 ± 0.23 s compared to a suction time of 2.21 ± 0.22 s obtained from a functional standard commercially available fluid aspirator and with a p-value of 0.3429 indicating no statistically significant difference between the two suction times. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the device in absorbing both fluids at specific pressures. Therefore, the device could be immensely beneficial for use in hospitals.

Authors: Isawumi M.A. , Aina A.S. 
Published: August 2024

Background: Glaucoma is a disease of public health importance, and adequate knowledge and awareness about it play a key role in its effective management. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge and awareness of workers about glaucoma in a mission hospital.
Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study carried out among 455 workers at Bowen University Teaching Hospital Ogbomoso. A standardized questionnaire was used to obtain information and a detailed ocular examination was carried out. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 23.
Results: Four hundred and fifty-five workers participated in this study. More than half (60.9%) of the participants are aware of glaucoma but only 36.2% have the correct knowledge. More than one-third (36.1%) of the respondents do not know how glaucoma can be managed.
Conclusion: The level of glaucoma knowledge and awareness among workers in this cohort is low. There is a need to educate these hospital workers on glaucoma so as to raise their awareness and level of knowledge. This will help them to be better advocates of quality eye care among the general populace especially in a developing and low-income country like ours.

Background: Induction of labour is an important procedure in obstetric practice therefore, a safe and suitable method should be considered for cervical ripening and labour induction. This study compared the efficacy and safety of intravaginal misoprostol and intra- cervical Foley catheter for cervical ripening and labour induction.
Methods: This study was carried out among parturients in a tertiary hospital between December 2017 and October 2018.Seventy-eight parturients with unfavourable cervix were randomized into two groups, to receive either 4hourly intravaginal misoprostol for a maximum of six doses or have passage of intracervical Foley balloon catheter over a maximum of 12 hours. Data was analyzed using SPSS software version 23, p<0.05was considered statistically significant.
Results: The study showed no difference in vaginal delivery rates (misoprostol, 61.6%; Foley, 53.9%; p= 0.49) between the two methods of cervical ripening. The induction to delivery interval for the vaginal misopostol group (14.25±5.21hours) was similar to the Foley catheter group (10.39±0.42hours; p=0.10). However, there was higher Bishop's score after cervical ripening in the vaginal misoprostol group (p=0.001).
Conclusion: The maternal and perinatal outcomes in this study have shown that no method is superior to another when efficacy and safety of vaginal misoprostol and Foley catheter are concerned for cervical ripening and IOL. Hence any of these two methods should be considered suitable for IOL with unripe cervix.

Published: August 2024

Objective: The objectives of the study were to determine the patterns of use of psychoactive substances, identify the psychoactive substances commonly used, and identify the factors associated with the use of psychoactive substances among undergraduate students
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-developed and self-structured questionnaire to elicit information from 355 undergraduate students from the College of Medicine University of Lagos through a multistage sampling technique. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data, and a statistically significant p-value was set at <0.05.
Results: A proportion above half, 160 (53%) of the respondents are male, with the mean age of participants being 21.50 ± 2.02 years. Less than one-tenth 26 (8.6%) of the undergraduates always use psychoactive substances during examination preparation, while the majority, 255 (84.4%), reported low level of psychoactive substance use. The most used psychoactive substance is caffeine, as seen in coffee and energy drinks. The quest to improve mental alertness 285 (94.4%) is the leading factor influencing the use of psychoactive substances. Age (p<0.000) and academic performance (p<0.000) were significantly associated with the level of use of psychoactive substances.
Conclusion: The use of psychoactive substances to improve mental alertness must be discouraged among undergraduate students. Emphasis must be placed on the harmful effects] the use of psychoactive substances can cause now and even in the future.

INTRODUCTION: Community health workers (CHWs) play a critical role in promoting contraceptive knowledge and usage, thereby impacting fertility rates in developing nations. Understanding their contribution to family planning (FP) decisions in specific contexts, such as the Ndera sector of Gasabo District, Rwanda, is essential.
METHODS: This was a cross-sectional quantitative study of 445 randomly selected family planning users that used a structured questionnaire.
RESULTS: Ninety-one percent of respondents were female, 53% were aged 25-34 years, and 75% were married. Educational levels ranged from primary to secondary. While CHWs were acknowledged by 97% of respondents, only 41% reported receiving adequate FP information. Statistically significant associations (p<0.001) were found between various demographic and FP-related variables, including age, marital status, FP preferences, access to FP information, satisfaction with information, educational level, and perceived barriers, and CHW’s Contribution to Family Planning Decisions.
CONCLUSION: The study highlights a lack of male involvement in FP services in Rwanda, with only 9.1% of participants reporting male involvement and suboptimal provision of family planning information by community health workers.
