Authors: CEBECİ Süleyman , AKYOL Emirhan , AYDİL Utku , DİLCİ Alper , ÜNER Aytuğ 
Published: April 2023

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and overall survival in patients with tongue cancer who underwent glossectomy.
Material and Method: The study included 35 tongue cancer patients who underwent glossectomy. Twenty patients did not receive any treatment before surgery (control group). Fifteen patients received two cycles of cisplatin-containing NAC prior to surgery. Five-year overall survival findings were compared between the groups.
Results: Median pathological depth of invasion was lower in the NAC group compared to the control group (7 vs. 9 mm, p=0.037). The mortality rate was lower in the NAC group (26.7% vs. 50.0%, p=0.008). Increased depth of invasion was independently associated with increased risk of mortality, while receiving NAC was independently associated with decreased risk of mortality. The risk of mortality was 6.25-fold lower (1/0.16) in the NAC group compared to the control group (HR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.004-0.72, p=0.017).
Conclusion: Patients who underwent NAC plus surgery were associated with a higher probability of 5-year overall survival compared to patients who underwent surgery alone. These findings may be inspiring for the role of NAC prior to surgery in the prognosis of patients with tongue cancer.
Numbers and the Truth? Daily Nation’s Pioneering of Data-Driven Economic News Sub-Editing
Authors: Kwemoi Mark , Mberia Hellen , Bosire Julius 
Published: April 2023

Purpose: In the wake of intensified production of fake newspaper content, this paper attempts to investigate the role that numbers play in the sub-editing of economic news, anchored on three main objectives: (a) To investigate the ways in which numbers used in economic news content are structured and cleaned, (b) To examine if some types of economic news numbers are transformed and formatted more significantly than others, and (c) To evaluate if certain economic news numbers are more susceptible to modifications than others.
Methodology: Through systematic secondary research, blended with contextualised insights of fieldwork, the study examined various ways in which numbers used in Daily Nation’s economic news articles undergo additions, deletions, conversions, truncations, replacements, among other adjustments, prior to publication. To be as concise as possible, the study zeroed in on front-page, headline, kicker and briefs in a sample of 120 articles published between June 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022.
Findings: The study established that despite sub-editors being the heart of news processing — who not only fact-check but also act as the last line of defence — majority of them labour with putting to use quantitative elements, thereby accelerating the dissemination of flawed content in newsrooms in Kenya.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study showed that media has the power to shape public thought and set the agenda, thereby validating the Lippmann’s Theory of Public Opinion Formation. Policymakers will find the outcome of this study useful because it will guide them to propose intense training to media actors to hone their numerical competence.

Published: April 2023

Purpose: The introduction of the Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) in the delivery of low-cost houses in Congo is a recent phenomenon. The article will investigate the factors behind this new strategy of building affordable houses and try to establish how PPP can contribute to better housing for the residents of the most populated city of Congo (Kinshasa). The study focuses on the factors contributing to the increasing demand for the Public-Private-Partnership in the construction of affordable housing projects introduced by the Government.
Methodology: For us to obtain the perspectives of key participants in the public sector dealing with the delivery of affordable housing projects in Kinshasa, an in-depth semi-structured interview and survey were conducted. This method combines qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques
Findings: The result of the analysis shows that there are four main reasons for this increment: The lack of public resources, the high demand for low-cost housing, the Lack of qualified construction workers, and the lack of the private sector's interest to invest in social housing.
Unique Contributions to Theory, Policy and Practice: The challenges of delivering low-cost house projects are numerous. The challenges are divided into different categories: political and economic, Governance, international forces, administration, financial resources, material resources, management practices, technical, and local external pressures, and natural forces are some of the issues that need to be addressed. While politics and governance, administration, financial and material resources, local external pressures, and environmental forces are all important, the performing organization faces external problems, as well as management and technical challenges.
The Contribution of Pesticide Management Practices to Aquifer Vulnerability around Lake Naivasha, Kenya
Authors: Njoroge Simon Mburu 
Published: April 2023

Purpose: Numerous approaches have been used or proposed for assessing groundwater vulnerability occurring in the vadose zone and groundwater regime, to models that weight critical factors affecting vulnerability through either statistical methods or expert judgment.
Methodology: This study used responses from the personnel handling pesticides in farms around Lake Naivasha basin on pesticide management practices to calculate the value of aquifer vulnerability in the area. This paper did not include hydrogeological and hydrodynamic characteristics of the subsoil, which is the common method.
Findings: The results showed that the contribution of pesticide management practices to aquifer vulnerable in the area was 45.5%. It was concluded that this contribution is quite high, needing the intervention of farm owners, managers and policy makers in order to protect the quality of groundwater in this area.
Unique Contributions to Theory, Policy and Practice: This Study only used pesticide management practices in order to assess their independent contribution to aquifer vulnerability in the study area. This contribution has often been overlooked. It was clear from this study that pesticide management practices accounted for a higher magnitude of aquifer vulnerability.

Published: April 2023

Abstract:
Background: The epidemic of obesity in developed countries is commonly associated with poor dietary habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Obesity and overweight are defined as an excessive buildup of body fat and pose a risk to health. Adolescent obesity continues to be a subject of increasing global public health importance and is considered a vital risk factor for obesity and associated morbidity in adulthood. The objective is to determine the prevalence of obesity among school adolescents and estimate the relationship between obesity and some predicted risk factors (physical activity, eating habits). Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among (500) students in AL-Hilla city from the period 12th January to 2nd April 2022 at (10) secondary schools. The questionnaire is composed of two parts; Part one: involved the socio-demographic characteristics of students and their parents. This section also includes BMI was calculated by measuring height& weight; weight was measured with domestic scales and height with a meter rule and classified according to international classification. Part two is related to the risk factors of obesity. Data were collected through direct interviews with students for filling the tool required by spending approximately 20-30 minutes. Finally analyzed electronically by using (SPSS) version 24 by application of frequencies, percentages as descriptive, inferential as correlational statistics, and logistic regression. Results: Obesity and overweight were predominant at age (16-17) (58.6 %), and most of them were male (56.4 %) whose come from governmental schools (86.8 %). 28.8% of the sample were overweight and (14.4%) were obese children. Boys are riskier to be overweight and obese than girls ( OR= 1.55, 95%CI (1.33 -1.807). Adolescents who did vigorous physical activity were less risky to be obese one time compared to those with non-vigorous activity OR=1.072, 95% CI= (0.966-1.189). In addition, obesity has a likelihood to decrease five times in a student who consumed the fruit more than three times compared to those with one time (OR= 5.189, 95% CI= 5.189-5.189). Conclusion: The study conclude that around forty-three percent of adolescent school students were either overweight or obese. So, indicated that obesity was predominant at age (16-17) among Iraqi adolescent students aged 14-19 years. In addition, adolescents' eating habits and physical activity were highly significant factors in overweight/ obesity. Therefore, interventions are recommended to focus on these risk variables of overweight and obesity.

Published: April 2023

The paper presents scientific information about the problems in the search for therapeutic potential in coniferous plants widely used in folk medicine. Samples of coniferous plants growing in the mountain forests of the Western Altai in the eastern part of Kazakhstan were selected for the experiment: Baltic pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), European spruce (Picea abies L.), Siberian fir (Abies sibírica), Siberian pine (Pinus sibirica DuTour), and common juniper (Juniperus communis L.). During the study, the phytochemical composition of the components of P. sylvestris L. essential oils was determined by the indicators of sesquiterpenic fraction (69.76%), terpenoids (20.0%), and monoterpenes (5.51%). Using modern methods of studying biological activity (antimicrobial, antifungal, and anthelmintic), the authors established the presence of biological activity in the extracts of selected coniferous plants. In all coniferous plants, bactericidal activity was manifested in water decoctions, where biological preparations of Siberian fir and Baltic pine were more active. The oil extracts showed less bactericidal activity. Among them, extracts of Siberian pine and juniper were inactive, and the extract of European spruce was more active in its native form and 1:2 dilution. Among plants with a complete absence of bactericidal activity against the Candida parapsilosis opportunistic yeast, Siberian fir should be named. In other coniferous plants (European spruce, Baltic pine, juniper), bactericidal activity was detected only in oil solutions in a dilution of 1:2, and oil extract of Siberian pine in a dilution of 1:8 had a suppressive effect. Water/alcohol tincture of Siberian fir was found to have high fungicidal activity against Aspergillusniger, which continued to influence the growth of the micromycete at a dilution of 1:64 during the observation period. The presence of antiparasitic properties was observed in some plant extracts of coniferous forest plants. The best results were noted in alcohol tinctures of Baltic pine, juniper, and Siberian pine.
