Published: January 2023

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has substantially affected health care professionals. Health care professionals have noted increased distress, psychiatric symptoms, and feelings of burnout during this time. Implementation of brief, easy-to-access psychosocial interventions might help health care professionals process stressful events, thus bolstering mental health. One such approach is the narrative expressive writing program, a 5-session cognitive behavioral writing intervention.ObjectivesThe narrative expressive writing program was instituted in a neurosurgical intensive care unit during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program was delivered online and guided by a licensed mental health professional.MethodsHealth care professionals completed measures of anxiety, depression, burnout, resilience, and perceived stress before and after completing the narrative expressive writing program. Fifty-eight health care professionals initiated the program; 31 (53% of initiators) completed it.ResultsHealth care professionals who completed the narrative expressive writing program experienced significant reductions in depressive symptoms and perceived stress (P &lt; .05).ConclusionsPreliminary data show that narrative expressive writing is an easy-to-access intervention that has the potential to decrease stress and depressive symptoms. Additional research on tailoring or augmenting the narrative expressive writing program may facilitate health care professionals’ engagement and address other mental health domains (eg, burnout).

Context
Adolescents and adults are treated similarly in rehabilitation and research despite differences in clinical recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Aberrant gait is a clinical outcome associated with poor long-term health post-ACLR but has not been compared between adolescents and adults.

Objective
To compare gait biomechanical waveforms throughout stance between adolescents (&lt;18 years old) and young adults (≥18 years old) post-ACLR.

Design
Case-control study.

Setting
Laboratory.

Patients or Other Participants
Adolescents (n = 13, girls = 77%, age = 16.7 ± 0.6 years, height = 1.7 ± 0.1 m, weight = 22.2 ± 3.7 kg/m2) were identified from a cross-sectional cohort assessing clinical outcomes 6 to 12 months post-ACLR. Young adults (n = 13, women = 77%, age = 22.3 ± 4.0 years, height = 1.7 ± 0.1 m, weight = 22.9 ± 3.3 kg/m2) were matched based on sex, time since surgery (±2 months), and body mass index (±3 kg/m2).

Intervention(s)
Participants performed 5 gait trials at their habitual speed.

Main Outcome Measure(s)
Three-dimensional gait biomechanics and forces were collected. Vertical ground reaction force normalized to body weight (xBW), knee-flexion angle (°), knee-abduction moment (xBW × height), and knee-extension moment (BW × height) waveforms were calculated during the stance phase of gait (0%–100%). Habitual walking speed was compared using independent t tests. We used functional waveforms to compare gait biomechanics throughout stance with and without controlling for habitual walking speed by calculating mean differences between groups with 95% CIs.

Results
Adolescents walked with slower habitual speeds compared with adults (adolescents = 1.1 ± 0.1 m/s, adults = 1.3 ± 0.1 m/s, P &lt; .001). When gait speed was not controlled, adolescents walked with less vertical ground reaction force (9%–15% of stance) and knee-abduction moment (12%–25% of stance) during early stance and less knee-extension moment during late stance (80%–99% of stance). Regardless of their habitual walking speed, adolescents walked with greater knee-flexion angle throughout most stances (0%–21% and 29%–100% of stance).

Conclusions
Adolescents and adults demonstrated different gait patterns post-ACLR, suggesting that age may play a role in altered gait biomechanics.

INFLUENCE OF DAIRY FARMING PRACTICES ON MILK PRODUCTION. A CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Monica K 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Dairy farming has been part of agriculture for thousands of years since the early days of man when he decided to start domesticating animals. This paper aims to determine the extent to which dairy animal nutrition and animal health influences the level of milk production. The aim of the study is also to determine the role played by animal hygiene in improving and sustaining milk production as well as the extent to which observance of animal welfare influences the performance of the cattle in terms of mil production.
Methodology: This paper adopted a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main the themes.
Findings: The study deduced that animal nutrition to a very great extent influence milk production. The study found out that preserving water supplies and feeds from contamination and feeding animals on good quality feeds influenced milk production to a very great extent. Adopting appropriate farm management practices such as milking hygiene, environmental sanitation, and regular veterinary care (e.g., periodic check-ups, prompt treatment of illness) of cows helps to assure the well-being of dairy cows and reduce their risk of infections such as clinical mastitis. It is important to ensure good milking techniques since incorrect techniques can result in a higher mastitis risk and injury to the cow which translates to lower level of milk production or even contamination of milk.
Recommendations: Creating awareness on the dairy farming practices, changing behavior and being equipped in the necessary skills on dairy farming practices would improve the level of milk production.
Role of Women in Peace Building in Zambia: Case of Northern Province
Authors: Mofya Teddy Ngosa 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Women have contributed to peace building in different ways. However, the contribution appeared to have been underplayed in many societies. It is for this reason that this study sought to bring out the modern-day nature of the role played by women in peace building in Zambia – a case of Northern Province. The objectives of the study were to: to identify situations that called for peace building; to determine the role played by women in situations that needed peace building; and to determine the challenges of women involvement in peace building situations in Northern Province since 1964.
Methodology: The study used Mixed-method design. This was done over a population comprising traders, teachers, medical staff, village headmen and villagers. A sample size of 150 respondents was used. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically while the quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS.
Findings: The study revealed that women have played an important role in peace-building. However, lack of women involvement in peace building was caused by lack of: biblical understanding; or low education; respect for human rights; interest and self-confidence by the women themselves; and lack of interest by the women themselves and obstruction by systems and laws.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practices: The study reaffirmed the importance of women participation in peace-building and politics. Chiefdom wrangles during succession periods and land disputes; and electoral violence were the major sources of large-scale conflict in Northern Province. Respondents revealed that they observed people at community levels were engaged in peace building consciously or unconsciously. Institutions such as the local authorities and private sector responded they practiced peace building. As a contribution to theory, the study revealed that conflict at lower levels of society can be more lasting and intense in countries that have not experienced countrywide conflict. The study reaffirmed the challenges hindering women participation in peace building in Zambia. This will empower practitioners with a better understanding of issues affecting women in rural Zambia. Policy makers can make use of the findings of the study to devise ways of preventing the contextual challenges women face in the process.

Published: January 2023

Purpose: This paper intends to help check parent-adolescent conflict, for one peer pressure influence is perhaps hyped at the peak of self-identification.
Methodology: The paper adopted qualitative method, having proposed three polars of character modeling in the adolescent. Thus, the stage of communication, confrontation and conviction. The paper above all is a content analysis and as such employs secondary sources on peer pressure influence and family relations.
Findings: At this stage of development, the stripling is usually in search of meaning and often times he finds such in the company of friends. This forum irrespective of what becomes of the future or the opinion of the parents. It then remains that one way to tame folks at this stage is by employing the right communication style.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: It is then suggested that family counselors and human learning experts advance these styles to further tame teenage violence in home making.
Influence of Equity Financing on the Growth of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. A Critical Literature Review
Authors: Mwanzia Akuku Mwanzia 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Greatest potentials in driving economies of the developing countries such as Kenya are within the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises sector which account for almost over 90% of the businesses in these countries. The overall objective of this study was to examine influence of equity financing on the growth of micro, small and medium enterprises. A critical literature review
Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.
Findings: The researcher concludes that MSMEs financed by the venture capitalist that were under study experienced growth in both financial and non- financial aspects as well as in the managerial practices. This study reaffirms the correlation between MSMEs growth in any economy and poverty or lifestyle degradation. The economic impact of venture capitalist has been realized by MSMEs in sales, profit and asset upsurge.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study recommends that government owned venture capital firms need to be privatized to serve entrepreneurs better. The youth and women development funds which should be venture capital funds but are not as interest is paid by borrowers and no monitoring of businesses should be privatized to become a true venture capital fund to serve young entrepreneurs better. MSMEs using equity financed capital should be given tax concession to attract other SMEs financed by financial institutions. This will open an avenue for their growth after which they will be big industries. This study has shown that the influences of equity financing have been seen and felt and so more businesses should be encouraged to use this type of finance for economic development.
Ancient Drought Prediction and Receptiveness Practices among Communities Influence on Food Security. A Critical Literature Review
Authors: Muriuki Markson Muriuki 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Drought prediction practices entail observing behavior of certain animals, plants, trees, winds, clouds, temperature changes and other natural phenomena at the local level. The overall objective of this study was to examine ancient drought prediction and receptiveness practices among communities’ influence on food security.
Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.
Findings: This study concluded that the interaction between the local indigenous drought experts and the formal meteorologists is central in producing climate forecasts that are meaningful for the local community. The collaboration of the various stakeholders in developing a mitigation plan on curbing food insecurity will ultimately contribute to sustainable livelihoods achieved through appropriate timing of agricultural activities, water saving and post-harvest agro-processing. Sustainable livelihoods and the resultant food security will eventually enable the community achieve sustainable development.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: This study recommended that although farmers listen to meteorological forecasts from radios, among other formal communication media, they also use their AKS to predict droughts. There is need to strengthen the resilience and self-confidence of the local community to cope with drought disasters. This could be achieved through recognition and propagation of indigenous drought prediction and preparedness practices and values. The study also recommends in-depth examination of the invaluable input of the indigenous prediction practices for inclusion in regards to other studies to be done.
