Published: January 2025

The Syariah Mandiri Activity Management Unit (UPK) Selakau District conducts performance measurements at the Syariah Mandiri Activity Management Unit (UPK) Selakau District using only a financial perspective. The Syariah Mandiri Activity Management Unit (UPK) Selakau Sub-District has not conducted performance appraisals in the perspective of customers or members' views, performance measurements in the perspective of internal processes, and performance appraisals in the perspective of learning and growth. Therefore, researchers are interested in measuring the performance of the Syariah Mandiri Activity Management Unit (UPK) Selakau District, using the Balanced Scorecard method because it is a very appropriate method used to assess performance in the Syariah Mandiri Activity Management Unit (UPK) Selakau District, because the Balanced Scorecard method not only assesses in financial terms but also assesses in non-financial terms. The focus of the problem in this study is: How is the performance of the Independent Sharia Activity Management Unit (UPK) Selakau District seen from the use of the Balanced Scorecard approach?. This research method uses a qualitative approach. Then in this study using a type of descriptive qualitative research. Data collection techniques used based on primary data are observation, interviews and documentation. Then the secondary data are profile data of the Activity Management Unit (UPK) Selakau District, archives, books, journals, income statements and balance sheets. Based on the results of field research, it can be concluded that performance from a financial perspective has decreased profit and loss as seen from the income statement data of the Sharia Mandiri Activity Management Unit (UPK), Selakau District. Therefore, financial performance is measured to be not good overall due to a decrease in profits from 2020-2022. Performance from the customer's perspective on the number of customers always increases. This can be measured as a whole, the increase occurred from 2020-2022, showing a good performance from the perspective of good customers from the Syariah Mandiri Activity Management Unit (UPK), Selakau District, in obtaining customers. Performance from the perspective of internal business processes has increased as seen from transaction value data and the growth rate of the Syariah Mandiri Activity Management Unit (UPK), Selakau District.

Predictive value of bedside diaphragmatic ultrasonography for extubation success in critically ill patients after general anaesthesia: A meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis (TSA)
Authors: Ma Lan , Zhou Na , Yuan Kaiming , Xue Zihao , Lv Kai , Huang Jingying 
Published: January 2025

Background and Aims:
Accurate prediction of extubation success is crucial in critical care to avoid complications from premature or prolonged mechanical ventilation. Bedside diaphragmatic ultrasonography has emerged as a promising tool for assessing extubation readiness, but its effectiveness requires further validation. This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of this method and uses trial sequential analysis (TSA) to assess evidence reliability and identify the need for further research.

Methods:
A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Ovid, ISI Web of Science, and the Wanfang Database from 2014 to 2023. The included studies assessed diaphragmatic ultrasonography for predicting extubation success. Successful extubation is defined as maintaining spontaneous breathing for at least 48 hours post-extubation. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed using a random-effects model. Quality was assessed via the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), and publication bias was evaluated through funnel plots and Egger’s test. Cumulative meta-analysis, sub-group analyses, and TSA were used to explore heterogeneity and assess evidence reliability.

Results:
Fourteen studies were included, demonstrating high quality. Diaphragm excursion (DE) and diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) were significant predictors of extubation success. The diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was 4.80 [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.86, 5.97)], with a sensitivity of 81.48% and a specificity of 86.86%. Significant heterogeneity was observed (I
2 =85%, χ2 =87.19, P < 0.00001). TSA indicated that the cumulative evidence was insufficient.

Conclusions:
Diaphragmatic ultrasound, particularly DE and DTF, is useful for predicting extubation success, but current evidence is inconclusive. Further research is required to confirm these findings.

Published: January 2025

INTRODUCTION:
The “Japa Syndrome” describes the increasing trend of Nigerian nurses emigrating for better opportunities abroad, exacerbating the challenges faced by the Nigerian healthcare system. This exodus, driven by poor working conditions, inadequate pay, and limited career prospects, has led to critical shortages in the nursing workforce and a decline in healthcare quality. Addressing these issues demands a thorough review of strategies to enhance nurse retention and stabilize the healthcare workforce in Nigeria. Therefore, this narrative review aims to synthesize existing literature on the factors contributing to “Japa Syndrome” among Nigerian nurses and to identify effective strategies to mitigate this trend.

METHODS:
A systematic search of peer-reviewed journals, government reports, and relevant literature published between 2018 and 2024 was conducted, focusing on nurse migration, workforce retention, and healthcare policy in Nigeria. Studies were selected for their relevance to the themes of “Japa Syndrome,” nurse retention strategies, and the sustainability of the healthcare workforce. The selected articles were analyzed to extract key themes, challenges, and proposed solutions for retaining nurses.

RESULTS:
The review revealed that the primary factors driving nurse migration include suboptimal working conditions, low wages, limited opportunities for career advancement, and insufficient institutional support. Retention strategies identified in the literature highlight the need for improved working environments, competitive remuneration, job security, and continuous professional development. Moreover, fostering a supportive workplace culture has been shown to reduce nurses’ intentions to migrate.

CONCLUSION:
The literature suggests that addressing “Japa Syndrome” requires a comprehensive and proactive approach by healthcare institutions, policymakers, and stakeholders. Strategies focusing on better working conditions, improved compensation, and enhanced career development are essential for retaining Nigerian nurses. These interventions are critical to ensuring a stable and sustainable healthcare workforce in Nigeria, essential for the future of the country’s healthcare system.

Published: January 2025

Background:
Sex determination is challenging with minimal skeletal remains. It is overcome by odontometric measurement of mandibular canines as it exhibits higher sexual dimorphism in the human dentition. Hence, the study aimed to assess and validate mandibular canine in gender determination using odontometric measurements in two ethnically diverse populations.

Methods:
A total of 205 subjects, belonging to two ethnically diverse population, i.e., Indian (Himachali) and Nepali, aged 17–25 years was included. Intraoral measurement outcome comprised both-sided lower mandibular canine distance including intercanine distance using Vernier caliper, followed by similar measurements on study models (casts). Garns and Lens formula was utilized to assess the sexual dimorphism.

Results:
The canine distance of both sides in Nepali males was higher than Indian males, both intraoral and casts. The intercanine distance in Indian males was higher than Nepali males, both intraoral and casts. The canine and intercanine distance of both sides was greater in Indian females than Nepali females, both intraoral and casts. Indian population in the left-sided lower canine had higher sexual dimorphism than the right-sided lower canine both intraorally and casts in contrast to Nepali population that exhibited higher in the right-sided canine.

Conclusion:
Therefore, mandibular canine measurements were an adjunct and reliable method for gender identification in human.

Evaluation of the C-reactive protein serum levels in periodontitis patients with or without atherosclerosis – A clinical study
Authors: Khatri Pooja , Thakare Kaustubh S , Ganvir Minal Narendra , Khatri Mitesh 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Periodontitis is a bacterial infection that can originate in the gums and progress to damage the bone and other structures supporting the teeth. One indicator of systemic inflammation caused by various triggers such as injuries, infections, and hypoxia is the highly potent C-reactive protein (CRP). Atherosclerosis is a progressive arterial disease that is characterized by the thickening of subintimal layers in muscular and elastic arteries of intermediate-to-large size due to the accumulation of athermanous plaque. Therefore, our objective in this research is to evaluate CRP levels in individuals with periodontitis, with or without atherosclerosis, after diagnosis. It is important to determine if there is a correlation between periodontitis, a common inflammatory condition of the gums, and elevated CRP levels, which could potentially contribute to the development of atherosclerosis.

Methodology:
The Department of Periodontics and Implantology at Bhabha College of Dental Sciences conducted the study, which involved the random assignment of 60 participants of both sexes, aged between 30 and 60 years, using a cross-sectional design. The participants were selected from the Department of Periodontics and Implantology, and venous blood samples were taken before and after nonsurgical periodontal treatment to evaluate serum CRP and complete blood count levels.

Results:
Higher blood CRP levels were seen in individuals with chronic periodontitis, regardless of the presence or absence of atherosclerosis. When comparing the groups of people with and without atherosclerosis and chronic periodontitis, the rise in blood CRP levels was almost double in the group with atherosclerosis. To prevent the progression of atherosclerotic lesions, chronic periodontitis must be treated aggressively.

Conclusion:
Chronic periodontitis, with or without atherosclerosis, leads to high CRP levels in the blood. Those with both conditions have almost twice the CRP levels compared to those without atherosclerosis. Proper treatment is necessary due to chronic periodontitis’ association with atherosclerotic lesions.

Published: January 2025

Malware detection and classification are important requirements for information security because malware poses a great threat to computer users. As the growth of technology increases, malware is getting more sophisticated and thereby more difficult to detect. Machine learning techniques have been extensively used for malware detection and classification. However, most of them are binomial classifications that only detect the presence of malware but do not classify them into types. This study sets out to develop a multinomial malware classifier using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and investigate the effectiveness of ANFIS in the classification. A first-order Sugeno ANFIS model was developed. It has five layers and uses two if-then rules. The ANFIS model was trained and tested with two prominent malware datasets from the Canada Institute of Cyber Security. The experimental results showed that the performance of the ANFIS model degrades as the size of the datasets increases, and the accuracy, precision, recall, and root mean square error is 94%, 0.88, 0.87, and 0.19 respectively.

Assessment of TBC1 coverage of 2015 Presidential Elections in Tanzania
Authors: Kaale Kaanaeli 
Published: January 2025

This study assessed TBC1 2015 Presidential Election news coverage. The study used the specific objectives firstly, to assess the extent TBC1 coverage of CCM and UKAWA 2015 Presidential candidates, secondly to examine TBC1 news tones coverage of CCM and UKAWA 2015 presidential candidate and lastly, to find out types of TBC1 news coverage of CCM and UKAWA 2015 Presidential candidates.
This research applied concurrent mixed research methods to collect and analyze both qualitative and quantitative data. The study examined news content in 448 news bullets aired in months of the election campaign from August to October 2015. The results showed that there is biasness in the TBC1 news coverage as ruling part, CCM received wide coverage and UKAWA Presidential candidate received lower coverage in all items including news frequency, news length, news placement and news tones. The general findings demonstrated that CCM candidate received 1,700 % equivalent to 75% while UKAWA candidate received only 566 news, which is 25% of news frequencies for both candidates.
The findings showed that the agenda-setting effect of journalism reflects the interests of media owners (McCombs & Shaw, 1972). Unbalanced media coverage affects political candidate’s especial opposition party. The findings suggest that there is a need to reform the policies and regulations informing electoral coverage to ensure a more balanced portrayal of all presidential candidates as it stated in the National Elections Act, 1995 Cap. 343 (URT, 2015).
The Impact of Use Social Media in Communication Flow from State House to Traditional Media in Tanzania
Authors: Kaale Kaanaeli , Mjema Daniel 
Published: January 2025

The media has historically obtained and disseminated government information to the public through newspapers, radio, and television. Before the advent of social media, Journalists obtained information from the State House through telegraph, telephone, fax, and in-person encounters between the President's communication officers and journalists. Over twenty years, the State House Communications Department has enhanced its communication methods and effectively utilized social media platforms to engage with journalists and the public. However, little focus on scientific research has been done to assess the impact of social media on communication flow from Tanzania’s state house to traditional media. Therefore, the study evaluated the application of new media in the Presidential Communication Directorate in disseminating news to the mainstream media. The study used a descriptive design and mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The qualitative delved into individual viewpoints on news collection using new media, while the quantitative evaluated respondents' perspectives. The State House Communication Unit has shifted its use of social media platforms enhancing networking among journalists, providing quick information access, and being cost-effective. However, the shift has led to decreased personal communication, a decline in exclusive news, an increase in false information propagation, and the emergence of citizen journalism. Journalists should improve their social media skills to maintain high-quality media reporting. The Statehouse should enhance its 24/7 media unit operations. The study highlighted the challenges and significance of using social media for news dissemination and gathering. The study involved media professional practitioner’s and President's communication officers who identified significance and challenges and suggested how to improve media production and contents.
