Authors: Biao Idowu 
Published: July 2024

Sub-Saharan Africa having remained economically poor throughout its more than sixty years of independence, and relying on the finding that the acquisition of a high level of digital and entrepreneurship skills tends to create wealth for nations in modern times, this study investigates the extent to which sub-Saharan Africa's higher education institutions may leverage the facilitation of the learning of digital technologies and entrepreneurship for Africa's economic emancipation through lifelong learning. The work carried out at the level of eight (8) lifelong learning outfits of eight (8) premier universities drawn from the four (4) regions of sub-Saharan Africa is scrutinised through the administration of a six (6)-item questionnaire with a view to establishing whether or not Africa's higher education institutions are currently facilitating the learning of digital technologies and entrepreneurship through lifelong learning to a level that may promote Africa’s economic emancipation. The findings of the current study are that sub-Saharan Africa i). possesses very few higher education institutions in comparison to the global average, ii). is yet to prioritise lifelong learning both nationally and at the higher education level and iii). is incapable to produce the needed population of digital and entrepreneurship graduates that may propel its economic emancipation as a result of its current level of neglect of lifelong learning.

NEXUS BETWEEN BIBLICAL STUDIES PROGRAM AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT OF STREET FAMILIES IN SELECTED FAITH BASED ORGANIZATION’S REHABILITATION PROGRAMS IN ELDORET TOWN, KENYA
Authors: Osoro Kerubo 
Published: July 2024

Despite numerous efforts, the number of street families in Kenya continues to increase over time. This threat that has existed since independent has proven to be difficult to overcome. However, faith-based organizations now recognize their biblical mandate for reaching out in love to the needy as a panacea to this threat. Therefore, this study explored the nexus between biblical studies programs and the spiritual development of street families drawn from the rehabilitation programs in selected Faith Based Organizations in Eldoret Town, Kenya. The study was underpinned by the Divine Command Theory, and adopted a descriptive mixed methods research design that triangulated data collection by infusing a mix of techniques, including questionnaire, interviews and field observations. The study targeted 52 FBO directors, 687 street families, 180 chaplains, and the chairman of the North Rift Child Care and Protection Association (NRCCPA). In retrospect, a sample of 246 individuals comprising of 12 FBO directors, 48 chaplains, 185 street families and the chairman NRCCPA was constituted. Validation and reliability of the study instruments was facilitated through a pilot study conducted in the nearby town of Kapsabet in Nandi County. Consistent with the mixed methods approach, data were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitative data analysis was facilitated through frequencies/proportions and Chi-square tests of association. Conversely, qualitative codes were used to extract recurring themes from the qualitative nuances. The descriptive analysis results together with field observations and interview responses revealed that bible study programs continue to be a significant component of FBOs' efforts to rehabilitate street families in Eldoret town. The Pearson chi-square test, the likelihood ratio test, and the linear-by-linear test results confirmed that the nexus between these bible study programs and spiritual development among street families is positive and statistically significant. The study concludes that proactive employment of Bible study programs in FBOs in Eldoret town to rehabilitate street families has a direct impact on the spiritual growth of these families. Therefore, all FBO’s should also adopt policy guidelines that embrace bible studies programs.

Reading is of paramount importance in the modern era. It is an invaluable tool to instill knowledge in people and lead them to sustainable development. This study aimed to investigate the shared responsibilities of stakeholders in promoting early literacy and reading culture in Rwanda. The study was conducted in five districts in Rwanda, one in each province, including the city of Kigali. This study is conducted within the framework of the Theory of Emergent Literacy (EL) pioneered by Marie Clay (1926–2007) (Rohde, 2015; Teale, 1986; Tracey and Morrow, 2006), according to which literacy development begins very early in life and children’s early reading and writing experiences are of considerable importance in their overall literacy development. The study applied a descriptive research design, which consists of collecting quantitative and qualitative data. The target population was 437,988, which was the total number of households in the five districts. It involved 598 parents in selected households, school administrators, and local authorities. A convenience sampling technique was used to select parents, while a purposive sampling technique was applied to select school administration and local authorities. A questionnaire, interviews, and observation were used as data collection tools. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings of the study revealed that parents carry out their responsibilities and interactions with children by cultivating a reading culture and reading stories to them before school age. Findings also showed that parents acknowledge teachers’ interactions with children through giving them take-home reading assignments. The strategies that are used to develop early literacy and reading culture include showing pictures, using games and songs, and devoting some hours to reading on specific days in a week. The study identified challenges including parents’ illiteracy and poverty preventing them from being involved in their children’s education, the lack of enough books in schools, and overcrowded classes. It is recommended that government support be increased by making reading materials more accessible to children; that parents’ role in developing the reading culture and early literacy should be more visible; and that there is a need for adult literacy education to enable parents to read to their children and monitor their reading practice.

Published: July 2024

Glibenklamid merupakan obat golongan sulfonilurea generasi kedua, yang digunakan secara oral pada pasien dengan penyakit diabetes melitus tipe 2. Sediaan tablet per oral masih menjadi pilihan utama karena memiliki ukuran yang tepat dari dosis lazim yang dikehendaki, sedangkan pada sediaan cair, pasien harus menakar obat sendiri. Pada pasien pediatri dan geriatri umumnya sering mengalami kesulitan ketika menelan obat sediaan tablet atau sediaan oral. Sehingga untuk mengatasinya dibuat sediaan ODT yang cara mengomsumsinya hanya meletakan di atas lidah, kemudian tablet ODT akan hancur dan larut dalam saliva. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui variasi croscarmellose sodium yang menghasilkan mutu fisik tablet ODT Glibenklamid terbaik. Pembuatan ODT Glibenklamid dilakukan dengan metode campuran (pelarutan-pencampuran). Dispersi padat yang digunakan yaitu PEG 4000 dan menggunakan variasi konsentrasi Croscarmellose Sodium yaitu 0 mg, 2 mg, 4 mg, 6 mg, dan 8 mg. Tablet ODT yang dihasilkan dievaluasi dengan beberapa parameter yaitu uji kekerasan, uji kerapuhan, uji pembasahan, uji waktu hancur in vitro, dan uji tanggap rasa. Data yang didapatkan akan dianalisis dengan oneway ANOVA dengan taraf kepercayaan 95%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan 4% Croscarmellose Sodium menghasilkan waktu hancur in vitro (disintegrasi) tercepat yaitu 4,44 detik, dan waktu pembasahan tercepat 21,67 detik. Semakin tinggi konsentrasi croscarmellose sodium dapat menghasilkan mutu fisik terbaik.

Impact of hepatitis B immunoglobulin mode of administration on treatment experiences of patients after liver transplantation: Results from an online survey
Authors: Rizza Giorgia , Glynou Kyriaki , Eletskaya Masha 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
Hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) in combination with a potent nucleos(t)ide analog is considered the standard of care for prophylaxis against hepatitis B virus (HBV) reinfection after liver transplantation for HBV-associated disease.
AIM
To evaluate patients’ satisfaction, preferences, and requirements for subcutaneous (SC), intramuscular (IM), and intravenous (IV) HBIG treatments.
METHODS
A self-completion, cross-sectional, online, 22-question survey was conducted to examine perceptions and satisfaction with current HBIG treatment in adults receiving HBIG treatment following liver transplantation for HBV-associated disease in France, Italy, and Turkey. Hypothetical HBIG products with different administration modes were evaluated using target product profile assessment and a conjoint (trade-off) exercise.
RESULTS
Ninety patients were enrolled; 32%, 17%, and 51% were SC, IM, and IV HBIG users, respectively. Mean duration of treatment was 36.2 months. SC HBIG had the least negative impact on emotional well-being and social life and was perceived as the most convenient, easiest to administer, least painful, and had the highest self-rating of treatment compliance. More IM HBIG users than SC or IV HBIG users reported that administration frequency was excessive (67%, 28%, and 28%, respectively). In the target product profile assessment, 76% of patients were likely to use hypothetical SC HBIG. In the conjoint exercise, administration route, frequency, and duration were key drivers of treatment preferences.
CONCLUSION
Ease, frequency, duration, and side effects of HBIG treatment administration were key drivers of treatment preferences, and SC HBIG appeared advantageous over IM and IV HBIG for administration ease, convenience, and pain. A hypothetical SC HBIG product elicited a favorable response. Patient demographics, personal preferences, and satisfaction with HBIG treatment modalities may influence long-term treatment compliance.
