Authors: John Rwakihembo , Aryatwijuka Wilbroad , Peter Kalinda , Pereez Nimusiima 
Published: May 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to establish the association between the board leadership structure and the financial performance of private limited companies in Uganda.
Methodology: The study adopted a positivist paradigm and a cross-sectional design. 394 private companies were sampled from Central and Western Uganda. Quantitative data were collected from board members, accountants, auditors, and CEOs using a self-administered structured questionnaire. Pearson correlation and standard regression analyses were conducted for data analysis.
Findings: The study established a positive relationship between a separate leadership structure and the financial performance of private companies. Separate leadership was confirmed as a recipe for private companies' financial success, accounting for 7% of the variance. The study also revealed that CEO duality was common amongst most private limited companies in Uganda.
Unique Contribution to Practice and Policy: The study calls for a re-examination of the current policy on governance to make the corporate governance code obligatory to all firms and not just the listed entities. Regulators ought to reinforce their monitoring approach to effect adherence to the governance code.

Syntactic Functions and Pragmatic Aspects of Preposition Stranding and Preposition Pied-Piping with wh-Relativizers: Perspectives from English Novels
Authors: Wongkittiporn Abhinan 
Published: May 2023

This study examines syntactic functions and pragmatic aspects of preposition stranding (PS) and preposition pied-piping (PP) with wh-relativizers as used in English novels. While previous studies focusing on the syntactic functions and pragmatic aspects of PS and PP with wh-relativizers selected the data from international corpora and academic research articles, this study contributes to the perspectives of English novels. The materials in this study were gathered from nine best-seller English novels (www.amazon.com). They are The Power of One (Courteney, 2007), Naked Lunch (Burroughs, 2016), Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Brontë, 2016), Middlemarch (Eliot, 2019), A Class of Kings (Martin, 2019), The Nature of Middle-Earth (Tolkien, 2021), Moby Dick (Melville, 2020), The Promise (Galgut, 2022) and Far from the Madding Crown (Hardy, 2022). Approximately 450,000 words of English novels provided 51 tokens, referring to sentences. The data analysis of PS and PP with wh-relativizers follows Radford’s (2009) generative grammar. The results in this study show that PP with wh-relativizers occurs at 92.16 percent, whilst the occurrences of PS in this study are only 7.84 percent. The syntactic functions of PP with wh-relativizers are always used as adjuncts. The higher frequency of PP with wh-relativizers in English novels is explained by markedness theory and standard English, whereas the lower frequency of PS is due to archaic form and spoken register. It is hoped that the results in this study will be useful for learners of English as a Second Language (ESL) and learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in terms of applying the use of PS and PP with wh-relativizers in writing English novels and writing English short stories accurately and appropriately.

Published: May 2023

PurposeThe isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) test is a strength test usually requiring expensive equipment like a force platform. Low-cost alternatives could make IMTP testing more accessible. Previous research reported high systematic bias when comparing low-cost devices with more expensive criterion devices (force platforms). This study investigated the concurrent validity and intra-session reliability of a custom-built low-cost IMTP device using a load cell.MethodsOverall, 17 recreationally resistance-trained men (25 ± 6 years, 83 ± 14 kg, 178 ± 7 cm, 5 ± 3 years of resistance training experience) first visited the laboratory to be familiarized with testing protocols and returned 2–3 days later for IMTP testing with the low-cost device and a laboratory-grade force platform.ResultsThe overall bias was trivial (–0.8%, 95% CI: –5.7 to 4.3%). The typical error of the estimate was moderate (10.2%, 95% CI: 7.4–16.2%). A strong correlation of 0.91 (95% CI: 0.76–0.97) was found between peak force values from both devices; the low-cost IMTP device accounted for 81.3% of the variation in force platform. The low-cost IMTP also demonstrated acceptable scores for reliability and agreement (ICC = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.89–0.98; typical error = 5.0%, 95% CI: 3.7–7.7%), similar to the criterion (ICC = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.91–0.99; typical error = 4.5%, 95% CI: 3.3–7.1%).ConclusionsThe low-cost IMTP device using a load cell was valid and reliable for maximal force production in recreationally trained men and provided results comparable with those of a force platform.

Legalization of Marijuana Use for Medical in Indonesia in Relation to Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics
Authors: Sonjaya Saji 
Published: May 2023

Marijuana is one type of narcotics that is prohibited in Indonesia, as defined in Appendix I of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. Marijuana is classified as a class I narcotic that cannot be used for medical purposes. Although it is illegal in Indonesia, some people use it as a medical substance to treat their illnesses. This research was conducted using the normative juridical method. According to the research findings, some Indonesians currently believe that marijuana is a dangerous plant that can cause temporary pleasure and addiction. On the other hand, there are also those who argue that cannabis can provide a sense of relaxation, pleasure, and happiness, as well as flow inspiration, drive away fatigue, boredom, even depression and stress. Another common misconception is that cannabis is a powerful medicine capable of alleviating various types of pain and slowing the spread of deadly diseases. Given that many other countries have legalized cannabis for medical purposes, the Appendix to Law Number 35 of 2009 must be revised by removing the cannabis plant, all plants of the cannabis genus, and all parts of the plant including seeds, fruit, straw, processed cannabis plants or parts of cannabis plants including cannabis and cannabis resin, and reclassifying them as class II narcotics so that they can be used as medical materials.
Ganja merupakan salah satu jenis narkotika yang dilarang di Indonesia, sebagaimana didefinisikan dalam Lampran I Undang-Undang Nomor 35 Tahun 2009 tentang Narkotika. Ganja diklasifikasikan sebagai narkotika golongan I yang tidak dapat digunakan untuk tujuan medis. Meskipun ilegal di Indonesia, beberapa orang menggunakannya sebagai bahan medis untuk mengobati penyakit mereka. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode yuridis normatif. Menurut temuan penelitian, sebagian masyarakat Indonesia saat ini percaya bahwa ganja adalah tanaman berbahaya yang dapat menyebabkan kenikmatan sementara dan kecanduan. Di sisi lain, ada juga yang berpendapat bahwa ganja dapat memberikan rasa rileks, senang, dan bahagia, serta mengalirkan inspirasi, mengusir penat, bosan, bahkan depresi dan stres. Kesalahpahaman umum lainnya adalah bahwa ganja adalah obat yang ampuh yang mampu meringankan berbagai jenis rasa sakit dan memperlambat penyebaran penyakit mematikan. Mengingat banyak negara lain yang telah melegalkan ganja untuk kepentingan medis, maka Lampiran Undang-Undang Nomor 35 Tahun 2009 harus direvisi dengan menghapus tanaman ganja, semua tanaman genus ganja, dan semua bagian tanaman termasuk biji, buah, jerami, tanaman ganja yang telah diolah atau bagian tanaman ganja termasuk resin ganja dan ganja, serta mengklasifikasikannya kembali sebagai narkotika golongan II agar dapat digunakan sebagai bahan medis.

Authors: Doctors Amna javed moeen 
Published: May 2023

Introduction:
Abdominal wall hernia is a common condition encounter in surgical OPD. There is 2% chance of developing hernia in lifetime wheres umbilical / paraumbilical hernia accounts for 10-14% of all the hernias. Ultimate treatment of abdominal wall hernia is surgery and mesh placement. Early surgery can avoid multiple complications including incarceration of intestine. Multiple patient factors that can cause recurrence of hernia or development of incisional hernia laprotomy incorporate age, male sex, COPD ,diabetes mellitus, somking and obesity. Multiple operative modalities are present for ventral hernias, commonest being laproscopic IPOM and Open sublay. Different meta-analysis recommends that laproscopic hernia repair is best in defect size not more than 10cm.
Objective:
objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of intra-peritoneal (IPOM) mesh repair with open sublay mesh repair for PUH in terms of operative time, post operative pain, hospital stay and recurrence.
Material and Methods:
This study was done in department of surgery at surgical unit III , Lahore General Hospital starting from january 2018 till january 2019. Patients presenting with paraumbilical hernia were admitted from SOPD. An aggregate of 50 participants were included in this study. Majority of patients were females (46 in number) with age ranging from 26 years to 55 years. Rests of patients were males (04 in number) with age ranging from 40 years to 60 years. Patients undergoing open surgery were placed under O-group and patients undergoing laproscopic repair were placed under L-group. Patients were followed up on 10th post-op day, 4 weeks, 6 month and 1 year interval. Inclusion criteria: All patients of both sexes with para umbilical hernia presenting in the SOPD was included in the study. Exclusion criteria: All patients with obstructed, strangulated PUH were excluded in the study. Patients with co-morbid conditions like diabetes mellitus (DM), COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), IHD (Ischemic Heart Disease) were also excluded.
Results:
50 participants included in this study had age ranging from 26 years to 60 years. Mean duration of operation in L-group was 81 ± 13 minutes while in O-group, duration of operation was 89 ±19 minutes. Hernia defect size in both groups was approximately same. mean size defect was 13.3 ± 2.6 cm2 for L-group and 13.1 ± 2.9 cm2 in O-group. Post-operative Duration of Hospital atay for L-group was 36-60 hours while hospital stay in O-group was 48 to 72 hours. Recurrence rate after 1 year in L-group was 01 while in O-group;recurrence was seen in 02 patients.
Conclusion:
IPOM is a better option in management of paraumbilical / umbilical hernia in terms of operation duration, hospital stay, post-operative pain and recurrence outcomes as compared to open sublay technique.
Sekuritas Teologis Pasca Pandemic Covid – 19: Sebuah Imajinasi Dogmatis
Authors: Udang Frety Cassia , Nayuf Henderikus 
Published: May 2023

Suatu saat nanti covid – 19 akan melandai. Bagi yang terpapar, mereka akan mengenang keterpaparan mereka sebagai sebuah pengalaman yang sulit dilupakan. Sementara bagi yang tidak terpapar perlu diedukasi agar memberi perhatian bukan saja pada solidaritas, tetap lebih kepada empati. Kedua hal inilah yang menjadi fokus dari penelitian ini.
Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah eksplanatif – imajinatif. Pendekatan ini menekankan aspek penjelasan (explanation), maupun prakiraan atau prediksi (prediction).
Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah redefenisi terhadap istilah teologi. Teologi tidak hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan dalam relasi transendental, tetapi lebih kepada refleksi atas pengalaman perjumpaan dengan realitas pandemik Covid-19. Dari sinilah kemudian muncul istilah sekuritas teologis. Dalam tataran praksis, sekuritas teologis sebenarnya merupakan loncatan defenisi yang memberi ruang bagi gereja dalam merumuskan ajarannya ketika berhadapan dengan konteks yang tidak diduga sebelumnya. Dalam konteks ini, sekuritas teologis berkontribusi bukan saja pada tataran ortodoksi, melainkan lebih kepada ortopraksis.
A comparison of the climate and carbon cycle effects of carbon removal by afforestation and an equivalent reduction in fossil fuel emissions
Authors: Jayakrishnan Koramanghat Unnikrishnan , Bala Govindasamy 
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Afforestation and reduction of fossil fuel emissions are two major components of climate mitigation policies. However, their effects on the Earth's
climate are different because a reduction of fossil fuel emissions directly alters the biogeochemical cycle of the climate system and modifies the
physics of the atmosphere via its impact on radiation and the energy budget, while afforestation causes biophysical changes in addition to changes
in the biogeochemical cycle. In this paper, we compare the climate and carbon cycle consequences of carbon removal by afforestation and an
equivalent fossil fuel emission reduction using simulations from an intermediate complexity Earth system model. We performed two major sets of
idealized simulations in which fossil fuel emissions follow extended Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios (SSP2-4.5, 3-7.0, and 5-8.5), and equal amounts of carbon are
removed by afforestation in one set and by a reduction in fossil fuel emissions in another set. Our simulations show that the climate is cooler by
0.36, 0.47, and 0.42 ∘C in the long term (2471–2500) in the case of reduced fossil fuel emissions compared to the case with
afforestation when the emissions follow the SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 scenarios, respectively. The global mean surface temperature is cooler
in the reduced fossil fuel emissions case compared to the afforestation case because the net biophysical effect of warming from afforestation partly
offsets the biogeochemical cooling effect of afforestation. Thus, in terms of climate benefits, reducing fossil fuel emissions could be relatively
more beneficial than afforestation for the same amount of carbon removed from the atmosphere. However, a robust understanding of the processes that
govern the biophysical effects of afforestation should be improved before considering our results for climate policy.
Marching to the Beat of Their Own Drum: How Beta-Israel Uses Liturgical Music to Maintain its Roots Within a Foreign Culture
Authors: Dicker Yehuda 
Published: May 2023

Known as Falasha, Ethiopian Jews lived in isolation for centuries practicing an ancient, pre-talmudic form of Judaism, which traces its origins back to Solomon and Sheba.” It was not until 1984 that this Falasha community, known as Beta-Israel, was covertly airlifted from Sudan during the civil war and brought to the State of Israel. Their arrival was accompanied by quite the culture shock for a variety of reasons, a significant one being religion. Much of the community quickly assimilated into modern society, leaving behind their traditional religious Ethiopian roots. As a result, the Beta-Israel community became a minority, a waning religious sect of Judaism in Israel. Yet, those who maintained their roots continued their practices with full vigor. Included in these practices is their unique liturgy, liturgical music and use of musical instruments in prayer. This paper will examine texts which discuss Ethiopian liturgical music in depth and explore what role this music plays in preserving their community.
