Authors: Berisha Hatidza , Lopes Gabriel César Dias , Vitorovic Zoran R. 
Published: September 2023

Originality: In the simplified film imagination, artificial intelligence is most often depicted through humanized robots that in the distant future occupy the planet and destroy the human race. However, in the background of this terrifying scenario is an advanced technology that is already widely applied for countless useful purposes and whose level of development will largely shape life as we know it today.

Theoretical reference: The beginnings of artificial intelligence appear with the development of cybernetics and automation, and its development was initially focused on machines and robots, primarily in space technology.

Research implications: The emergence and mass application of digitalization led to a strong expansion of artificial intelligence and extended its field of action to practically all areas of human life.

Published: September 2023

At first, employees collect attendance support letters containing attendance sheets and permits if not working as well as overtime certificates to the financial administration section, after which the financial administration will calculate salaries first to be submitted to the accounting department. Because employee payroll is still done manually, errors often occur in absenteeism and in calculating salaries given to employees. Then the frequent occurrence of errors in recording reports is also because the payroll is still done manually.

This system is analyzed and designed using descriptive research methods and development techniques using the waterfall method. The programming language used by this system is PHP with XAMPP web server and PHPMyAdmin database. This employee payroll application that has been created can help companies make it easier to record payroll transactions, and archive payroll and attendance reports.
Methodological Issues in Participatory Research with Older Adults
Authors: Schensul Jean J. 
Published: September 2023

Most anthropological research on aging uses observations, in-depth interviews, narratives, and photovoice. These qualitative methods are essential for illustrating the voices of older adults and the meanings associated with aging. Quantitative methods tailored to specific settings showing systematic range of variation within and between populations of older adults are much less common. Though most anthropologists working with older populations recognize the need for “action” to remedy challenges faced by older adults, families, and caregivers, theory-driven interventions are rare in the anthropological literature on aging. This chapter discusses the importance of mixed methods research and interventions to engage older adults in study co-design, implementation, dissemination and use of research results. It also addresses issues such as the formation of research partnerships, collaborative research-action designs, building appropriate interventions, and participatory dissemination of research results. Throughout, examples are cited based on two decades of applied and participatory research on aging.
The Musical Impact of the Mariel Boatlift on the Latin Music Scene of New York City and Interethnic Collaboration among Puerto Ricans and Cubans
Authors: Lapidus Benjamin 
Published: September 2023

Cubans and Puerto Ricans have interacted musically throughout history, yet their collaborations were greatly impacted by the 1980 Mariel boatlift. As Benjamin Lapidus notes, few scholarly works have focused on the musical impact of Cubans who arrived during the Mariel exodus. Existing scholarship on Cuban music in the United States has centered on the period before and immediately after 1959 and has overlooked important musicians who brought the newest Cuban musical information to the United States in the late twentieth century. Lapidus discusses the immediate musical effects of the Mariel boatlift by examining some of the dancers and musicians who arrived in New York City at that time. The activities of these and other musicians had long-term effects on the folkloric and Latin popular dance music scenes in New York and the United States, not only as performers but in many cases also as teachers for subsequent generations of Cuban and non-Cuban musicians. These interactions produced hybrid forms of both Cuban and Puerto Rican genres. Mariel immigrants served as important points of connection for musicians and dancers who arrived in the early 1990s during the era of the balseros (rafters) and would fit into established networks of Cuban and Puerto Rican musicians.

Published: September 2023

Objective: To explore the knowledge, attitudes and practices of paediatricians on the management of eye diseases among children in Ghana.
Methodology: This was a mixed model study, both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed among paediatricians practicing in hospitals across Ghana who consented to the study. Consecutive sampling was used to select participants. Self-administered, semi-structured questionnaires, in-depth interviews and focused group discussions were used to collect relevant data. Analysis was carried out with STATA version 14.
Results: More than half (53, 60.2%) of Paediatricians practicing in Ghana had good knowledge of childhood eye diseases. Although almost all (89, 98.9%) paediatricians disagreed with the statement that ‘eye examination in children should be done only when the caregiver complains’ and a majority (79, 87.8%) of paediatricians responded “yes” to the question ‘do you do eye examination in children?’, fifty four (59.3%) indicated that in practice they only examined a child’s eye when the caregiver reports that the child has an eye problem, and only 24 (26.4%) indicated it was a routine part of every child’s examination in their practice. In addition, all paediatricians disagreed with the statement that ‘eye examination in children can only be done by an eye care worker’. These assertions were clarified during the in-depth interviews and focused group discussions where paediatricians conceded that only general inspection of the eyes is done when examining the eyes of children.
Conclusion: Paediatricians had satisfactory knowledge and good attitude towards childhood eye diseases. However, their practices regarding childhood eye disease management were poor.
Problematic Aspects of Criminal Adjudication in Cases of Sexual Violence against Minors
Authors: Papiashvili Lali 
Published: September 2023

Although sexual violence and coercion against minors are formally punishable in all modern societies, special attention is paid to the protection of minors, victim support, the rights of juvenile witnesses/victims in criminal proceedings, strict action against perpetrators and strengthening international cooperation to this end. However, combating it still poses considerable difficulties due to the latent nature of the crime and the paucity of incriminating evidence.
The article reviews positive obligations of the State with regard to the crime of the mentioned category in the context of criminal legal proceedings, significance of the testimonies of minor victims/witnesses and issues related to the assessment of testimonies, interrelation of the rights of minor victims/witnesses and right of accused/defendant to a fair trial.
Protection of Human Dignity in Case of Insult Committed by Action in Ancient Georgian Law
Authors: Chachanidze Elza 
Published: September 2023

Apart from human life and health, honor and dignity are among the important values. The violation of honor and dignity of a person can be committed by slander and insult. As for Insult, it can be committed by action, or be verbal. The subject of the research is the study of insults carried out by actions in ancient Georgian law, as actions that violate human dignity. The clarification of terms related to the mentioned issue allows for discovering what kind of actions were considered insults. In ancient Georgian Law, the term “swearing“ was used to express verbal insult. As for insult committed by action, in addition to "insult", the terms „shaming“, „disgrace“, and „dishonor“ are used in the legal monuments. The fact of responsibility for insult is often confirmed by “dishonorable” punishment imposed by the legislator and used by the court. Determining “dishonorable” punishment as a sanction for beating or for some kind of health damage allows us to conclude that the mentioned actions were also considered insults in ancient Georgian law.
The types and forms of insults committed by action were various and therefore they can be conditionally divided into several groups. Actions that are directly aimed to humiliate a person's dignity, for example, cutting off the beard, tearing off, tying up, removing armor, beating. Insults committed during an attack, damage to health, as an action against the honor of a person, and actions against the honor of the family can be grouped separately. At the same time, in the monuments of the ancient Georgian law and in the court rulings, there are other cases of insult committed by action.
As punishment for an insult committed by action was mainly determined the blood price and “dishonorable” punishment. How important and valuable it is to protect the legal good, is reflected in the punishment imposed for committed action. In the old Georgian law, the sanctions established for insults committed by action were mostly equal to the punishments determined for damage to human life or serious damage to health.

Published: September 2023

Context: Despite the commonness of polyherbal therapy among the locals in the treatment of malaria in Nigeria, there are no adequate data on the therapeutic potentials and safety profile of these herbal combinations. The use of these plants in combination in the treatment of suspected and confirmed malaria infection is very common among the Niger Delta dwellers in Nigeria.
Aim: To evaluate the therapeutic potential of co-administration of Hippocratea Africana, a medicinal plant with well documented antimalarial properties, and Eremomastax speciosa, a tropical plant with well reported antianaemic potential and haematoprotective properties.
Materials and Methods: Thirty albino mice, whose weights ranged between 32 - 37g, were divided into five groups having six mice in each. Clinical features, weight changes and parasite clearance were evaluated to determine therapeutic potential of treatments.An inoculum which consisted of 5 x 107 Plasmodium berghei infested erythrocytes per ml of blood from a donor mouse with 64% parasitaemia was injected into each mouse by intraperitoneal route. The mice were kept at room temperature of 28.0 ± 20C for 7 days for the parasite to develop. A non-parasitized mice group served as normal control. After parasitaemia was confirmed using standard procedure, 200mg/kg and 300mg/Kg body weights of Hippocratea Africana root bark and Eremomastax speciosa leaf extracts respectively, were administered by oral routes to the respective groups of mice for 6 days. A parasitized group was treated with fixed doses of 3mg/kg body weight of Artemether and 18mg/kg body weight of Lumefantrine. Another parasitized group was left untreated.
Results: Mice treated concurrently with the extracts of H. africana and E. speciosa showed a significant improvement in clinical signs in comparison to the untreated group. The mean body weights of mice administered both extracts was significantly (P < 0.05) increased when compared to the parasitized untreated mice and those treated with extracts separately. The mice treated concurrently with the two extracts also showed significant (P < 0.05) reduction in percentage parasitaemia and significant (P < 0.05) increase in percentage parasite clearance comparable to that of Artemether-lumefantrine. The parasitized untreated group recorded 50% mortality, while the group treated concurrently with the two extracts did not record any mortality.
Conclusion: Concurrent administration of E. speciosa crude leaf extract and H. africana ethanolic root extract had good therapeutic potential in the treatment of Plasmodium berghei infected mice. This justified the use of these extracts by Sub-Saharan African traditional medical practitioners and Nigerian Niger Delta rural dwellers in the treatment of human malaria.

Background: Certain life-threatening complications and morbidities may occur following consensual sexual intercourse which may not be commonly experienced in clinical practice. One of such complications is hypovolaemic shock resulting from profuse bleeding.
Methods: Two cases of vaginal laceration complicated by hypovolaemic shock following consensual sexual intercourse are presented.
Results: Both patients had resuscitation with intravenous fluid, blood transfusion and subsequent examination under anaesthesia with repair of laceration in theater. Post-operative recovery period was uneventful and they were both discharged after proper counselling.
Conclusion: Bleeding from coital laceration could be life threatening. Prompt treatment should be instituted in such cases.
Personalised, Contextualised Professional Learning Development: Putting it into Practice
Authors: Owen Hazel 
Published: September 2023

Research, such as that collated as part of the New Zealand Ministry of Education‘s (MoE) Iterative Best Evidence Synthesis (BES), indicates that regular Professional Learning and Development (PLD) for educators can have a positive effect on the quality of teaching and, in turn, on outcomes for diverse students. PLD, though, needs to offer flexibility of choice, time and approach, and to value personal theories and experiences. Learning should be accessible (both physically and design-wise), cumulative and relevant, and couched within an active community of practice (CoP).A pilot to develop a Virtual Professional Learning and Development (VPLD) model that offered personalised, contextualised PLD was initiated by the New Zealand MoE. The project focused on primary and secondary school teachers, although one tertiary teacher participated. This paper provides an overview of the VPLD pilot (2009–2010) while also synthesising main findings from the in-depth evaluation conducted during the pilot and summarising some of the lessons learned.In brief, results suggest that there are affordances built into the VPLD model that encourage and enable education practitioners to develop at their own pace, in a supported, supportive environment, with access to all that they need to scaffold their learning journey. Thus, if it is accepted that student outcomes can mirror practitioner performance (although this is a somewhat simplistic relationship), it would follow that, if practitioners can be mentored and guided in their own continual development and thinking around learning and teaching, there is potential for the overall learning experience for students to be enhanced.
Raising Learner Satisfaction in Online Computer Programming and Information Technology Courses: One Instructor’s Five Successful Strategies
Authors: Ryan Rucker  
Published: September 2023

Online learning has continued to rise in popularity among learners, educators, and university administrators over the last three decades. However, one of the biggest challenges for educators is adapting to best practices, pedagogies, tools, and technologies when delivering instruction in this environment. Remembering that learners have a choice when enrolling in a university degree program, it is critical that educators focus on learner satisfaction. Many universities are concentrated on retention and recruitment and having a high learner satisfaction rate can improve these two areas. When an educator finds a strategy that helps improve learner satisfaction, it is critical that they share this knowledge with other professionals. This case study highlights five strategies that worked within computer programming and information technology courses to help improve learner satisfaction. These strategies consisted of providing individualized video feedback, using simulation products, integrating real-world projects, offering conversations with industry experts, and providing prompt learner engagement.
Urine proteomic analysis of the rat e-cigarette model
Authors: Liu Yuqing , Shen Ziyun , Zhao Chenyang , Gao Youhe 
Published: September 2023

Background
We were curious if the urinary proteome could reflect the effects of e-cigarettes on the organism.

Methods
Urine samples were collected from a rat e-cigarette model before, during, and after two weeks of e-cigarette smoking. Urine proteomes before and after smoking of each rat were compared individually, while the control group was set up to rule out differences caused by rat growth and development.

Results
Fetuin-B, a biomarker of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and annexin A2, which is recognized as a multiple tumour marker, were identified as differential proteins in five out of six smoking rats on day 3. To our surprise, odourant-binding proteins expressed in the olfactory epithelium were also found and were significantly upregulated. Pathways enriched by the differential proteins include the apelin signalling pathway, folate biosynthesis pathway, arachidonic acid metabolism, chemical carcinogenesis-DNA adducts and chemical carcinogenesis-reactive oxygen species. They have been reported to be associated with immune system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, etc.

Conclusions
Urinary proteome could reflect the effects of e-cigarettes in rats.
Steady State Conditions in Tractable Markov Manpower Model for an Extended Manpower System
Authors: Ossai Everestus Okafor 
Published: September 2023

In this work, a formulation of manpower structure in discrete-time homogeneous Markov model is done for a multilevel manpower system. The structure of the manpower system is first extended in a departmentalized framework and the features of the extended structure utilized to create a scenario of personnel membership in three classes: the active, non-active and external classes. This allows for the inclusion of different units of the system in the model. Specifically, a pool of members in absorbing states with respect to intra-class transitions is included, which forms a second channel of recruitment. The first channel of recruitment is from the external class and all recruits go to the active class. All states of the active class are non-absorbing and give rise to various intra-class and inter-class transitions. Different probability matrices that form the main components of the Markov manpower model are constructed from probabilities of these transitions. One-step steady state condition on the manpower structure is considered, based on the formulated model, and established to be invariant with respect to varying proportion of recruits into the system.
