DISABILITY, CYCLONE IDAI AND THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: PREPAREDNESS OF AFRICAN COUNTRIES FOR DISABILITY-INCLUSIVE RESPONSES IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
Authors: Masendeke Edmore 
Published: October 2023

On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a respiratory disease which started in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, to be a pandemic following a surge in case numbers in Italy, Iran, South Korea and Japan.1 In that same month, most African countries recorded their first COVID-19 cases.2 For Madagascar, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi, this was barely a year after another humanitarian emergency. In mid-March 2019, the four countries were hit by Cyclone Idai, a tropical storm that was characterised by heavy rains and flooding, which killed around 1 000 people and affected over 2 million people.3 Among those affected were people with disabilities. This comment provides an assessment of the extent to which disability issues were addressed in the four countries’ emergency plans and preparations for Cyclone Idai and a discussion of the lessons learnt which may be of relevance to the emergency response plans and preparations for COVID-19. The assessment will be made against relevant provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Africa (African Disability Protocol), which are discussed in the next section.

Published: October 2023

In the current technological era, artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly popular. Machine learning, as the branch of AI is taking charge in every field such as healthcare, the Stock market, Automation, Robotics, Image Processing, and so on. In the current scenario, machine learning and/or deep learning are becoming very popular in medical science for disease prediction. Much research is underway in the form of disease prediction models by machine learning. To ensure the performance and accuracy of the machine learning model, it is important to keep some basic things in mind during training. The machine learning model has several issues which must be rectified duration of the training of the model so that the learning model works efficiently such as model selection, parameter tuning, dataset splitting, cross-validation, bias-variance tradeoff, overfitting, underfitting, and so on. Under- and over-fitting are the two main issues that affect machine learning models. This research paper mainly focuses on minimizing and/or preventing the problem of overfitting and underfitting machine learning models.

Published: October 2023

Background Faculty perspectives are key drivers of learning during international electives (IEs). However, in Africa, there is limited literature on these perspectives on interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) during IEs. Therefore, this study explored faculty perspectives toward IPECP within an international elective context from selected African institutions. Methods This was an exploratory qualitative study. The study participants included faculty from four health professional training universities in Africa. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Common codes were identified and grouped to create subthemes and major themes. Results Four themes were identified: (i) The importance of IPECP during IEs, (ii) Approaches to IPECP during IEs, (iii) Perceived key barriers, and (iv) Perceived institutional support for IPECP during IEs. Most of the participants perceived IEs as a platform that can be used to cultivate IPECP with a multicultural perspective while promoting cross-border partnerships to advance health care. Suggested teaching approaches included case studies, joint clinical ward rounds, and simulations, among others, with an openness to having an online, blended, or physical mode of delivery. A framework to guide the implementation of IPECP during IEs was considered important, and most participants thought that their institutions had the infrastructure to support IPECP-IEs. Conclusions Faculty reported enabling perspectives of IPECP during IEs, emphasizing the need for a framework to guide and structure implementation. IPECP-IEs were perceived as a unique platform to cultivate IPECP skills with a multicultural component.

Authors: Емельянова М.К. , Яковлев А.А. 
Published: October 2023

В статье раскрывается роль репутации в российской системе госзакупок. На основе опроса государственных заказчиков и поставщиков показано, что опытные участники рынка придают значение и репутации контрагентов, и собственной. Поставщики и заказчики сходятся во мнениях относительно наиболее важных факторов репутации поставщиков, но при интерпретации репутации заказчиков их мнения разнятся. В исследовании мы подтверждаем на российских данных выводы зарубежных авторов о вкладе репутации поставщиков в повышение эффективности закупок. Также показана роль в этом репутации госзаказчиков, мало изученная в литературе. Полученные результаты объясняются в контексте решения заказчиками проблемы одновременного обеспечения и качества закупок, и конкуренции.

Published: October 2023

Green mass and rhizomes of Inula helenium L. are valuable raw materials of great practical importance as a promising source of BAS (biologically active substances). An analysis of plants’ morphological and biological parameters in natural populations makes it possible to determine the yield and, when harvesting raw materials, focus on cenopopulations with an increased phytomass of inflorescences. Assessing the dynamics of the formation of the aboveground phytomass, indicators of photosynthetic activity, the productivity of the aboveground mass, and seed productivity of I. helenium under natural conditions also make it possible to determine the influence of abiotic and biotic environmental factors. The studies were carried out in the laboratory of the Department of Biotechnology and Standardization of the Faculty of Biotechnology of the FSBEI HE “Mountain State Agrarian University” in medium samples of I. helenium, selected in natural cenopopulations of the Republic of North Ossetia - Alania at altitudes of 615 - 847 m above sea level in the plant association of a cereal-forb meadow. In the course of the study, morphological and biological indicators were determined. The authors found that the weight of the rhizome with roots decreases along the vertical profile. Inula helenium in cenopopulations grow at different heights from 127 to 220 cm and form an average of 230-390 g of rhizomes with roots. Individuals of Inula helenium are characterised by the formation of 24 - 26 inflorescences on average on one shoot, each giving 625 - 1015 pcs seeds from 1 basket. The authors took samples of elecampane high close to the villages Surkh-Digora and Chikola North Ossetia - Alania. These samples are characterised by a high weight of 1000 seeds (1834.78 - 1923.24 mg) and a basket diameter (6.98 - 7.29 cm).

Published: October 2023

Background: Moringa oleifera is well recognized for its rich nutritional content and diverse bioactive compounds. Moringa, abundant in various bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and alkaloids present across all plant parts including leaves, stems, and roots, is especially rich in glucomoringin within its seeds. The antioxidant activity of moringin has already been verified in numerous cellular and animal experiments.Objective: The study investigates the effects of Moringa seed extract (MSE), abundant in glucomoringin, on fatigue-related physical discomfort and sleep quality, as indicators of quality of life (QOL) in healthy individuals.Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study was conducted, administering MSE containing 12 mg of glucomoringin or placebo to healthy adult males and females daily for four consecutive weeks. Quality of life (QOL) questionnaire on fatigue, physical discomfort, sleep, and motivation was evaluated using a visual analog scale (VAS) at the start of the study and the end of each subsequent week until week 4. The impact on QOL was assessed through subjective evaluations and oxidative stress markers.Results: As a result, the efficacy of MSE intake in reducing stiff shoulder/neck pain, joint pain, and muscle pain was confirmed. Based on the oxidative stress markers, significant effects were observed among the participants with relatively high oxidative stress. A greater improvement in physical discomfort, reduced fatigue, and enhanced sleep quality were also noticed among female participants with MSE consumption. Conclusion: MSE consumption has showed potential in lowering physical discomfort brought on by exhaustion, promoting overall QOL, and improving sleep quality.

Regulating Self-Driving Cars: An African Perspective
Authors: Effoduh Jake Okechukwu 
Published: October 2023

<p>Self-driving cars as a mode of transportation in Africa is probably more of a ‘when’ than an ‘if’ question. These autonomous vehicles that could benefit human safety by reducing human deaths from car crashes, may disadvantage Africans if the production of the technology does not adequately reflect African perspectives, including in the ethical constructions about rulemaking. To reduce or prevent technological racism, inequality, and the marginalization of Africans, actors in this field of autonomous transportation should investigate and challenge the differentials of power that will arise from the innovation. Ethical rulemaking for autonomous vehicles must be open, continuous, inclusive, collaborative and communitarian. Any ethical standards proffered should be cognisant of societal and environmental wellbeing and should ensure local sustainability and knowledge mobilization within the adopting states. Rulemaking on self-driving cars must go beyond ethics and should rely on international human rights norms and standards as a minimum core. Within the various instruments of international human rights law, the African regional system provides a unique perspective on human rights, and the African human rights instruments require new technologies to be cognizant of cultural norms and traditional knowledge, and to not perpetuate colonial constructions. An African perspective in this discourse on self-driving cars is relevant for its regional adoption and absorption, and it could also provide a more holistic, responsible, equitable, and accountable appreciation of the technology. </p>

Authors: Effoduh Jake Okechukwu 
Published: October 2023

<p>This paper provides a stakeholder mapping of Artificial Intelligence (AI) actors in Nigeria. By “AI actors” this work refers to institutions and organizations in Nigeria that regulate, deploy, or create Artificial Intelligence systems. AI is used, in different forms, by both private and public entities in Nigeria. The Nigerian federal government has through different ministries, set up agencies and learning centres whose work revolves around the use of AI. State governments such as Cross River and Lagos states are also progressive actors in the Nigerian AI space. Several ministries and hubs dedicated to the development and use of AI in Nigeria have also sprung up across respective states. Nigeria can be considered as one of the leading African countries with institutions committed to the deployment, development, and the use of AI systems.1 Some private institutions in Nigeria, ranging from transportation companies, to finance corporations, and even pharmaceutical chains are actors in the Nigerian AI space. There are also private institutions in Nigeria that offer training courses on AI. Divided into six (6) parts (with this Executive Summary being the first, and the Research Method section being the second), this work highlights the Nigerian AI actors in three (3) broad clusters: Public AI actors in Nigeria; Private AI actors in Nigeria; and the regional AI actors impacting on Nigeria. The sixth and final part concludes.</p>

(Teknologi Modifikasi Cuaca) di Indonesia memiliki keberhasilan yang baik. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif berdasarkan deskripsi dari hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan sebelumnya mengenai Teknologi Modifikasi Cuaca dalam mengatasi upaya bencana hidrometorologi di Indonesia. Upaya TMC dalam penanggulangan bencana karhutla tahun 2020 dan 2021 di provinsi yang rentan karhutla dilaksanakan pada masa transisi musim hujan menjelang masuknya musim kemarau. Pelaksanaan TMC pada waktu yang tepat, dapat mempersingkat waktu kebakaran hutan dan lahan di sejumlah wilayah yang memiliki kerentanan tinggi, sehingga jumlah kejadian karhutla dapat ditekan secara optimal. Upaya penanggulangan banjir di Jakarta tahun 2013 dengan TMC dilaksanakan selama 33 hari pada tahun 2013 dengan dengan dua metode yaitu metode mekanisme proses lompatan (jumping process mechanism) dan metode mekanisme persaingan (competition mechanism) dengan tujuan mempercepat proses hujan sebelum tiba di Jakarta. Hasil dari TMC terjadi pengurangan hujan sebesar 20-50% di Jakarta. Penerapan TMC untuk penanggulangan bencana kekeringan pada perkebunan tahun 2014 di Riau, Kalimantan Tengah dan Sumatera Utara selama 120 hari didapatkan penambahan curah hujan sebesar 198 mm/tahun, wilayah Kalimantan Tengah sebesar 254 mm/tahun dan wilayah Sumatera Utara sebesar 233 mm/tahun. Upaya penanggulangan bencana menggunakan TMC dinilai efektif di Indonesia. Upaya ini rujukan bagi pemerintah dan pengambil kebijakan untuk pencegahan bencana hidrometeorologi di Indonesia.
