Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes: Early to diagnose, early to rise
Authors: Pramod Dhonde  , Mayura Dhonde  
Published: January 2023

Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are phenotypically heterogeneous disorders with defects at presynaptic, synaptic and postsynaptic level. With the worldwide prevalence of CMS unknown, from India either case reports or hospital based studies 1-3 give insight into the spectrum of CMS. At present more than 20 genes have been associated with CMS, majority are CHRNE (50%, including both autosomal dominant and recessive), RAPSN (15%-20%), DOK7 (10%-15%), COLQ (10%-15%), GFPT1 (2%).4 We are reporting 4 cases of CMS with typical presentation of fatiguable ptosis at early age in all patients and limb girdle weakness in two patients. One presented with history of respiratory arrest after fluoroquinolone use. All of them had positive slow rate repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS). Two patients had pathogenic compound heterozygous and homozygous mutations respectively for CHRNE, one patient had heterozygous mutation for SLC25A1 with uncertain significance with one patient’s report unknown. Two patients (one CHRNE and SLC25A1) responded with pyridostigmine only and two patients responded to pyridostigmine and salbutamol.

Authors: Pathrikar Dr Prathamesh , Chatterjee Dr Sanjay , Dr M Amir  , Deshmukh Dr Sameer 
Published: January 2023

Background: Foreign body granuloma represents granulomatous response of the tissue to any foreign body. Many cases of foreign body granuloma with various foreign bodies have been reported. However, mesh acting as a foreign body is quite a rare occurrence.
Summary: Here we report a case of a 52 yrs old lady who presented to us with complaints of swelling over abdomen in supraumbilical area since 6 months. Patient had a history of umbilical hernioplasty done 4 yrs back. On clinical evaluation, the provisional diagnosis of an ?abdominal wall tumor ?recurrent hernia was made. Ultrasound and computed tomography of the abdomen was done which was suggestive of a midline abdominal wall abscess. Excision of the swelling and consecutive histopathological analysis suggested it to be a foreign body granuloma associated with the mesh.
Conclusion: Thus, it is very important to keep in mind foreign body granuloma as a differential diagnosis in patients with history of hernia surgery presenting with swelling in the same region.

The implication of CSR on the performance of SMEs in the context of a developing economy
Authors: Chondough Stephanie 
Published: January 2023

While corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been extensively explored from the standpoint of large corporations and developed economies, smaller businesses and developing economies have received little attention. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) continue to be the backbone of most economies, significantly accounting for a major share in economic value creation. This implies that the contribution of SMEs in achieving sustainable development is therefore critical. The study seeks to add to the limited literature by investigating the implication of socially responsible behavior on the performance of SMEs in Nigeria. Corporate reputation, profit maximization and management efficiency are dependent variables used as proxies for performance measurement. A well-structured questionnaire was administered to 63 Nigerian SMEs. The study adopted a structural equation model using SmartPLS for the data analysis. Findings show a significant relationship between corporate social responsibility and the three determinants of firm performance (management efficiency, profit maximization and corporate reputation). This study has implications for owners/managers of SMEs who are keen on improving performance by leveraging on socially responsible behaviour through the development, implementation and communication of a sustainable and acceptable CSR initiative. Recommendations and suggestions for further investigations are made.

Published: January 2023

In this paper, I present a LoRa spread spectrum networking device that provides significant efficiency improvements over previously used techniques through digital techniques. Subsequently, the LoRaWAN network is presented, which can communicate with the network server available on the Internet through gateways. Their data rate and transmission power can be optimised depending on the distance from the base stations and the time required for communication can be measured in tens of seconds.
In the second major part of the article, Internet of Things devices that also communicate with each other using the LoRa network will be presented. It allows smart devices used in our everyday life to communicate, which are supported by sensors and transmitters to record states and perform actions.
IoT devices are also becoming increasingly common in agriculture. Farmers who are already using the technology can better monitor their livestock and crops. IoT can also be used effectively in many areas of agriculture, including dairy, vegetable, fruit and greenhouse operations.

Objective: to study various typological characteristics of the retail pharmaceutical market sector in 23 constituent entities of the Russian Federation (RF), as well as to analyze the availability of socially important types of pharmaceutical care as of 2021.Material and methods. The study materials were the data obtained on the basis of specially developed card-queries in the health authorities of constituent entities of the RF, and data from Rosstat, the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the RF, Roszdravnadzor. Methods of comparative, structural, logical and content analysis, as well as the method of data grouping were used. The study included analysis of the overall structure of retail sectors of regional pharmaceutical markets, the structure of pharmacy organizations (POs) depending on the form of ownership, availability of pharmaceutical care to the population of the RF constituent entities, and quantitative characteristics of POs that provide socially important types of pharmaceutical care: extemporaneous compounding of dosage forms, sales of drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors included in the Lists II and III of the Decree No. 681 of the RF Government of June 30, 1998. Based on the obtained values of the indicative indicators, a typologization of the constituent entities of the RF was carried out.Results. By the total number of retail sales facilities the top five are regional pharmaceutical markets of Novosibirsk Region (2688), Nizhny Novgorod Region (2265), Samara Region (2493), Tula Region (1516), and Belgorod Region (1383). As of 2021, the share of pharmacies in the total pharmacy retail sector structure of the analyzed regions amounted to 45.5%, pharmacy outlets and kiosks – 54.1% and 0.4%, respectively. In most cases, the pharmaceutical market of constituent entities of the RF was concentrated: the mean value of the mean population per PO indicator was 2,215 persons. The pharmaceutical markets of Tula, Kursk and Pskov Regions are the most concentrated, the markets of Chechen Republic, Murmansk Region and Krasnoyarsk Territory are the least concentrated. The main burden of providing socially significant types of medicines falls on the state and municipal sectors, with the state sector accounting for 11.2% in the total structure of POs.Conclusion. Based on the study of basic indicators the situation in the pharmaceutical market retail sectors of different constituent entities of the RF was characterized. The revealed in 2021 downward trend in the total number of retail sales facilities may be caused by an excessively high degree of PO concentration on regional markets, as well as a noticeable reduction in the profitability of pharmaceutical activities (including due to a decline in the solvency of the population associated with the spread of a new coronavirus infection) and the impact of legislative changes.
Genesis of Harm and Losses in Civil Law Doctrine. The Factor of European Science
Authors: Monastyrskiy Yu. E. 
Published: January 2023

The works of the first Russian jurists on the problem of compensation for damages in civil law are not sufficiently used in scientific works on this topic. This article can fill in the gaps and be of interest to specialists in this field of research. The author has studied and compared the main works on civil law compensation published before the revolution of 1917. It was found that the science of civil law has moved away from the consideration of universal claims for damages as a remedy and focused on the interpretation of damages as a sanction for an offense. Modern authors repeat the four-level structure of consideration of compensation cases adopted and developed in the Soviet period and the influence of the following conditions: illegality, causality, guilt, proven material damage, lost profit. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to return to the ideas that existed before the Russian Revolution and use them to improve the existing theory of compensation for damages and losses.Russian pre-Soviet civil law initially proceeded from the concept of responsibility only for behavior, since the category of «illegal actions» was introduced in Article 684 of the Code of Laws of the Russian Empire. Due to the developing industry, separate laws provided for payment as the equivalent of property losses for any material damage from dangerous activities, that is, for the materialized risk. In the Draft civil code of the Russian Empire, branched norms on responsibility for lawful actions appeared. A proper scientific generalization of this approach and phenomenon has not yet been made. The Civil Code of the Russian Federation has a norm on compensation for damage due to lawful actions, when it is specified in the law, but not on recovery of damages.

Published: January 2023

Pemberlakuan pembatasan kegiatan sosial sebagai akibat pandemi Covid-19 mewajibkan peralihan pola belajar-mengajar, dari yang semula tatapmuka luring (offline) menjadi tatapmuka daring (online). Hal tersebut menjadikan aktivitas penggunaan gawai oleh anak, khususnya usia remaja, mengalami lonjakan screen-time signifikan. Dengan alasan keamanan (safety), banyak orangtua menggunakan teknologi aplikasi parental control untuk memonitor penggunaan gawai oleh anak. Sebagai akibatnya muncul dinamika kontras antara kendali penggunaan gawai oleh orangtua dengan otonomi dan privasi anak saat menggunakan gawai. Berdasarkan dinamika kontras tersebut, paper ini mengkaji penggunaan aplikasi parental control yang menerapkan Framework Teen Online Safety Strategies (TOSS) menggunakan tinjauan desain interaksi (IXD) terhadap 2 (dua) aplikasi sebagai studi kasus. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi FamiSafe lebih mengedepankan peran orangtua sebagai pengendali (parental control) dibandingkan memberikan keleluasaan peran otonomi pada anak remaja. Disisi lain, aplikasi Boomerang lebih mengedepankan keseimbangan melalui kendali non-intrusif orangtua (via parental control) sekaligus memberikan keleluasaan otonomi pada peran anak melalui self-control. Hasil kajian menjadi masukan terhadap peran sosial desain aplikasi dalam mengarahkan perilaku pengguna. Kata kunci: gawai, remaja, pola-asuh, aplikasi, waktu-tayang

Published: January 2023

This study investigated some predictors namely technological attitudes, skills, and knowledge (t-ASK) in relation to technopreneurship engagement among Nigerian undergraduates in an Emerging Society 5.0. The descriptive research design was used. The study was piloted by two research questions and one null hypothesis. The target population comprised all 44, 183 undergraduates at the University of Lagos, out of which 336 were selected through stratified random sampling technique. A self-designed, validated, and reliable instrument (r=.88) entitled “Technopreneurship Engagement Scale (TES)” was used for data collection. Methods of data analysis were Multiple Regression and Independent t-test. Findings showed that the joint contributions of t-ASK to the variance in technopreneurship engagement was 11.3%. Finding further showed that technological attitudinal made the highest contribution (β=.219), followed by technological knowledge (β=.137), and then, technological skills (β=.-087) to the variance in technopreneurship engagement.There was also significant difference in technopreneurship engagement among male and female Nigerian undergraduates ((t=-2.376; df=334, p<.05). Selected predictors are ‘sine qua non’ to successful technopreneurship engagement among Nigerian undergraduates. We therefore recommend among others that students should be encouraged to develop positive technological attitudes towards technopreneurship which made the highest relative and significant contribution.

Published: January 2023

Communication is germane to the management and success of every programme. Open and Distance learning institutions’ effort to positively reach out and go beyond imparting knowledge to their learners may never be realized without effective communication. Thus, the effective utilization of components of communication is important in the learning process. This study examined the relationship between the communication components in Open Distance Learning (ODL) institutions and effective service delivery of ODL programmes. Five objectives were developed to guide the study. The study adopted a mixed research design involving both qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. 420 participants selected using a multi-stage sampling procedure involving both stratified random sampling and simple random sampling techniques. Both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The study, among other things, found a significant relationship between the communication components and the efficacy of the service delivery. Based on the findings, it was recommended that for service delivery to be effective, feedback mechanism must be varied, adequate and effective so that learners can use the one that best suit them; facilitators must be continuously trained on the use of different channels of communication to be able to produce and deliver quality content.
