Objectif: To establish the diagnostic reference levels of the radiography of the abdomen without preparation of the dog at the EISMV of Dakar.
Methodology: Our study took place in the radiology room of the EISMV in Dakar. To do this, we worked on thirty (30) animals that underwent abdominal examinations without preparation in the radiology room without consideration of weight, size, or age. The parameters (Kv, Mas) of these radiographic examinations were introduced in the MICADO software for the calculation of the doses at entry. Then with the R software, the 75th percentile of the dose distribution measured at the entrance surface (corresponding to the NRD) was determined.
Results: At the end of the study, we worked on 30 dogs. The mean Kilovoltage was 65.2 ± 12.08, the mean milliampere was 10 ± 0 and the mean Focus-Film Distance was 100.27 ± 1.227. The diagnostic reference level for abdominal examinations is 0.85 mGy, with an average dose to the patient's surface is 0.6497 ± 0.222 mGy.
Conclusion: The 75th percentile of the surface entry dose was 0.85 mGy with a mean dose of 0.6497 ± 0.222 mGy.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the diagnostic performance of strain elastography (SE), B-mode ultrasound (B-mode US), and the combination of the two modalities in the characterization of benign and malignant breast lesions.
Materials and methods: The prospective study included 375 breast masses, between January 2017 and January 2020. B mode ultrasound and elastography were established for each mass. The area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value (PPV) were calculated for comparison between elastography, B mode ultrasound, and the combination of the two exams. The pathological findings were used as the reference standard.
Results: Among 375 breast masses, 77 of the lesions were malignant, 298 were benign. The association of elastography with B mode ultrasound increased the AUC from 0.62 to 0.86 (95% CI: 0.78, 0.93; P < 0.0001); specificity from 23.6% (95% CI: 23%, 35.6%) to 98.03% (95% CI: 96.1%, 100%; P < 0.0001) with a decrease in sensitivity from 100% to 72.92% (CI 95%: 66.8%, 79.1%; P < 0.001); and PPV from 29.27% (CI 95%: 23%, 35.6%) to 92.11% (CI 95%: 88.4%, 95.8%; P < 0.0001).
Conclusion: The combination of elastography and B mode ultrasound increases diagnostic performance in the characterization of benign and malignant breast lesions.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo conhecer melhor os fatores que influenciam o desempenho acadêmico em disciplinas onde se ensina Desenho Tridimensional Assistido por Computador (CAD 3D), tendo sido desencadeado pela constatação, ao longo de mais de uma década de lecionação destas matérias, da enorme disparidade nas capacidades de aprendizagem e prática dos discentes, bem como as surpreendentes dificuldades que alguns alunos com bom aproveitamento noutras unidades curriculares evidenciavam nestas disciplinas. Complementarmente, analisam-se os níveis de satisfação dos alunos decorrentes das alterações associadas à situação da pandemia Covid-19. A investigação reporta-se a alunos do primeiro ano das licenciaturas em Design Industrial e Engenharia Aeronáutica da Universidade da Beira Interior, tendo sido efetuado durante o primeiro semestre letivo a 55 alunos que aceitaram nela participar de uma forma livre e informada. Foram recolhidos dados sobre raciocínio diferencial, através da Bateria de Provas de Raciocínio Diferencial (BPRD, Almeida, 1986), o desempenho acadêmico, o número de faltas e os níveis médios de satisfação dos alunos antes (2017-18) e depois (2019-20) da pandemia. Os resultados revelaram correlações significativas e moderadas de, respetivamente .47 e .38 entre os raciocínios mecânico e numérico e a classificação na disciplina. Já as correlações encontradas entre raciocínio espacial e verbal e a classificação na disciplina não foram significativas. A correlação entre o número de faltas às aulas e a classificação na disciplina revelou-se, igualmente, moderada, significativa e negativa (r= -.37). A comparação do nível médio de satisfação dos alunos em contexto pré e pós pandemia demonstrou um aumento ligeiro dos valores. Constata-se que a necessidade de continuadas e, por vezes complexas, manipulações espaciais necessárias ao exercício e domínio do CAD 3D, encontra claramente suporte nas capacidades de raciocínio mecânico e numérico. As diferentes capacidades reveladas pelos alunos tornam potencialmente pertinente a implementação da avaliação de processos cognitivos no início das aulas e de treino cognitivo para os alunos com níveis mais baixos. Os dados sugerem a importância da presença física e virtual nas aulas, sendo que a virtualização acrescida decorrente da situação da pandemia foi acompanhada de um ligeiro aumento do nível de satisfação. Assim, disciplinas e áreas científicas que impliquem uma continuada e complexa manipulação mental de formas e objetos parecem depender de capacidades prévias dos discentes que podem explicar a forte variação no seu rendimento acadêmico e do nível e contexto de envolvimento nas atividades escolares.
Peran Masyarakat Mengimplementasikan Kesadaran dan Ketaatan Hukum di Lingkungan Loa Janan Ulu

Published: May 2024

Kemajuan suatu bangsa dapat dilihat dari tingkat kesadaran hukum dan ketaatan hukum warganya. Semakin tinggi kesadaran hukum dan ketaatan hukum penduduk suatu negara, akan semakin tertib kehidupan bermasyarakat dan bernegara. Faktor kesadaran hukum dan ketaatan hukum ini mempunyai peran penting dalam perkembangan hukum, artinya semakin lemah tingkat kesadaran hukum masyarakat, semakin lemah pula ketaatan hukumnya sebaliknya semakin kuat kesadaran hukumnya semakin kuat pula faktor ketaatan hukum. Kesadaran hukum masyarakat yang pada gilirannya akan menciptakan suasana penegakan hukum yang baik, yang dapat memberikan rasa keadilan, menciptakan kepastian hukum dalam masyarakat dan memberikan kemanfaatan bagi anggota masyarakat. Metode yang saya gunakan adalah kualitatif. Hasil dari artikel penelitian saya adalah kesadaran hukum, ketaatan hukum, serta tindakan yang dapat dilakukan dalam meningkatkan kesadaran hukum. Kesimpulan Pada dasarnya masyarakat Indonesia tahu dan paham hukum, tetapi secara sadar pula mereka masih melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan melanggar hukum. Para koruptor tahu bahwa menyelewengkan atau menggelapkan uang negara, organisasi, ataupun yayasan adalah tindak pidana, tetapi faktanya perbuatan itu masih tetap dilakukan. Kesadaran hukum masyarakat dewasa ini masih lemah yang identik dengan ketidaktaatan hukum.
The Nucleated Poly(L-lactic acid): The Role of a Phenylacetic Hydrazide Derivative
Authors: TAN Ninghui , LV Yang , HUANG Hao , ZHAO Lisha , CAI Yanhua 
Published: May 2024

The melt-crystallization, cold-crystallization, melting behaviors, thermal stability, and optical properties of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) nucleated by a phenylacetic hydrazide derivative (DAPH) were investigated. The melt-crystallization confirmed DAPH’s heterogeneous nucleation role in improving PLLA’s poor crystallization capability, concurrently DAPH loading, cooling rate and final melting temperature were three key factors affecting PLLA’s melt-crystallization behaviors. The results from cold-crystallization indicated that the addition of DAPH could accelerate PLLA’s cold-crystallization via cold-crystallization peak’s shift toward the lower temperature side as DAPH loading increased. Through analysis of PLLA/DAPH’s multiple melting behaviors after melt-crystallization, it was found that DAPH loading, the previous melt-crystallization and heating rate determined PLLA/DAPH’s melting processes after melt-crystallization; and PLLA/DAPH’s melting processes after isothermal crystallization depended on the previous crystallization temperature. A drop in thermal decomposition temperature for 5 wt.% mass loss suggested that pure PLLA has better thermal stability compared with PLLA/DAPH. Additionally, the introduction of DAPH could not improve PLLA’s transparency, in contrast, the haze of PLLA was increased greatly owing to the existence of DAPH.

Authors: Dasugo Angeline Dario 
Published: May 2024

The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Processed Betel Nut as an anthelmintic to Free-Range Chickens. The research employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and utilized 90 heads of uniformed experimental free–range chickens. The experimental birds were divided into 5 treatment combinations replicated thrice as follows: C- (pure water), C+ (commercial anthelmintic), S1L1 (Betel nut extract (10ml), S1L2 (Betel nut extract (20ml), S1L3 – Betel nut extract (30ml). The anthelmintic effect was observed during days 1,2,3,7,14,21, and 28 of the study. Prior to the allotment of the birds, fecal samples were collected after 21 days of rearing for pre-fecalysis to ensure that all of these were infected with internal parasites. After this, administration of the different treatments was done. This was followed by the collection of fecal samples on days 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 after the administration of the different treatments. The fecal samples collected were given a drop of lactic acid solvent and placed in properly labeled plastic bags. Direct Fecal Smear (DFS) was used in examining the fecal samples collected
Results revealed that betel nuts at 20ml level were the best on the growth performance. Betel nut at 30ml level was comparable to that of the experimental birds in commercial anthelmintic. It is then recommended the utilization of betel nut at 20 ml in terms of growth performance and betel nut at 30 ml as herbal anthelmintic to free-range chickens.
MUSICAL FOLKLORE OF GREAT BRITAIN IN PERCY GRAINGER’S OEUVRE
Authors: Сысолятин Б.В. 
Published: May 2024

В XX веке мир искусства искал новые способы выразительности. Академические каноны больше не работали, и поэтому многие художники, музыканты и писатели обратили свой взгляд на то, что ранее считалось экзотикой или низкой традицией, которую ещё надо облагородить. Австралийский композитор и выдающийся пианист Перси Грейнджер (1882–1961) был одним из таких новых творцов. Согласно собственной творческой философии он принялся искать новый музыкальный язык в природе и в «примитивном искусстве» – в фольклоре. Свои поиски он начал с фольклора Британских остров. Вместе с английскими композиторами, в начале XX века заинтересовавшимися народным искусством Великобритании (такими как Ральф Воан-Уильямс, Сирил Скотт, Сэсил Шарп и др.), он устраивал «охоту за песнями», во время которой колесил по английским графствам в поисках народной музыки. Он вошёл в историю музыки как дотошный исследователь, новатор и как композитор умело усвоивший язык и особенности британских народных мелодий. В статье рассказывается об особенностях исследовательского и композиторского метода Перси Грейнджера, а также рассматриваются некоторые его яркие произведения, в которых он применил опыт, полученный во время своих этномузыкологических экспедиций.
In the 20th century the world of art was in the search of new ways of artistic expressiveness. Academic canons were not working anymore, and a lot of artists, musicians, and writers turned their eyes to what had been considered an exotic art or a low tradition which needed refining. An Australian composer and a distinguished pianist Percy Grainger (1882–1961) was one of those new creators. In accordance with his own creative philosophy, he started searching for a new musical language in nature and in the “primitive art” – in folklore. He began his search from the musical folklore of the British islands. Together with the English composers who in the beginning of 20th century became interested in folk art of Great Britain (such as Ralph Vaughan Williams, Cyril Scott, Cecil Sharp, and others), he organized “folk-song-hunts”, during which he travelled about England’s counties in search of folk music. He went down in music history as a meticulous researcher, an innovator, and a composer who skillfully absorbed the language and features of British folk tunes. The article covers the peculiarities of Percy Grainger’s methods of research and composing music. In addition, the article examines some of the composer’s outstanding works in which he used the experience gained during his ethnomusicological expeditions.

Published: May 2024

The current pandemic has surprised language educators. Globally, educators have been forced to implement online platforms and remote pedagogies. Online or virtual situations are challenging for students and teachers. Distance learning has become the norm. They must deal with a situation for which they never had any formal training or orientation. Although language learners have weathered this new crisis well, language instructors remain challenged with remote teaching's complexities. In this research proposal, the researcher examines how language educators have adapted to remote learning and discusses how they have implemented synchronous and asynchronous digital tools like OneNote in their language classrooms.
Toward Eternal Peace in the Universe

Published: May 2024

This study is concerned with the origin of war and way to eternal peace in the world. The origin of war is our fighting instinct accompanying with any weapon including iron bar and/or gun, and as long as it exists, in principle it is impossible for human society to avoid the war. In other words, since war is caused by fighting instinct that exists in the hearts of human beings, the first step to root out the war among us is to abandon all weapons at all. It is inferred that this is the start for eternal peace in our society and world, All of us are children of the God, there is no reason to fight each other with weapons. Let’s regain the Paradise on the Earth by establishing the Upper House in United Nations consisting of religious and/or saint leaders. To achieve eternal peace in the world, it is essential to harmonize discrepancies regardless of size among religions and to make disarmament until no weapons. Finally, but not least, proposed is quasi-war, in which people having strong fighting instinct play certain sports game between two conflicting countries instead of war using bloodshed weapons. It may be possible for us to solve the problem by fighting the sports games such as soccer, rugby and so on, under the strict rules. In this way, anyone could control fighting instinct adequately but peacefully. Accordingly, all of us can contribute to build up the Paradise where we live in luxury and in harmony.
Media Ombudsmen on the Scale in Africa: How Journalists Assess the Cameroon National Communication Council’s Sanction and Non-Suit Decisions of 2013-2015
Authors: Moki Stephen Mokondo , Ngange Kingsley Lyonga 
Published: May 2024

This study is an assessment of the content of the Cameroon National Communication Council’s (NCC) sanction and non-suit decisions by journalists. The purpose is to determine the perceptions Cameroon journalists have of their National Communication Council and its decisions and to establish a correlation between the perceptions and the content of the decisions.” A survey of 108 journalists working in 40 media houses across four major regions in the country was conducted between the 11th of May and the 19th of June 2015. A textual analysis of 31 NCC sanction and non-suit decisions issued from the 5th of September 2013 to the 24th of February 2015 was also done. The results show that 59.3% of the respondents from the survey and 61.3% of data from the textual analysis indicate that NCC sanctions are protective of state officials and VIPs. Paradoxically, most of the respondents made positive assessments of the NCC decisions in relation to accusations that the decisions were biased, selective and politically motivated with 64.8% and 57.4 % in disagreement as compared to 35.2% and 42.6% in agreement, for the survey and textual analysis respectively. But the findings also reveal that there is a common opinion amongst sanctioned and unsanctioned journalists that the government has an influence on NCC decisions. The study, therefore, recommends that NCC should not focus only on sanctioning journalists and media houses but should also work to encourage journalists and press freedom through the organisation of capacity building workshops for journalists in order to build their capacity to respect professionalism. NCC should also communicate the justifications of their decisions to dispel the opinion that their decisions are influenced by the government.
