Published: June 2022

Nigerian public tertiary institutions have been plagued with incessant industrial conflicts that are always pronounced in form of strike actions and these had led to long closure of these public institutions with attendant negative effects on overall developments of these institutions. This study, therefore, examined the impact of industrial disharmony on sustainable development goal of state government-owned tertiary institutions in Southwest Nigeria. Two hypotheses were raised, and a descriptive survey research design of the ex post facto type was adopted for the study. The population for the study comprised of all the staff of three selected public tertiary institutions across three states in Southwest Nigeria (Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta; Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Ijanikin, Lagos and Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso). Simple random and proportionate stratified technique was used to select the respondents based on staff classification into academic (302), senior non-teaching (103) and junior non-teaching (280) cadres totalling 685 respondents. A self-designed questionnaire entitled Industrial Disharmony and Sustainable Development Goals Questionnaire (IDSDGQ) was used to collect information from the respondents. Data were analyzed using regression analysis to test the two hypotheses raised for the study at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that industrial disharmony had a significant impact on sustainable development goals of state government-owned tertiary institutions in Southwest Nigeria. It is, therefore, recommended that state governments as proprietors of these tertiary institutions should strive to increase the funding of these institutions since a lack of adequate funding has been identified as a major source of industrial disharmony in public tertiary institutions.

Authors: DOGHONADZE Natela , Dolidze Tamari , Vasadze Natia 
Published: June 2022

COVID-19 pandemic and its waves have resulted in transitions from face-to-face activities to completely online learning, then to hybrid learning, and then to a peculiar face-to-face COVID-19-time learning (with masks, distance-keeping, etc.). As the situation tends to continue for an indefinite time, it is important to study the existing experience and to take the obtained results into consideration in the future practice. Therefore, the presented research attempted to study students’ view on the experience of face-to-face (F-2-F), hybrid and online EFL teaching in universities during 2019-2021. With this purpose, a quantitative study was carried out through questioning the opinions of English as a foreign language (EFL) students in Georgia and Italy. The advantages and disadvantages of the three modes were assessed by 466 (430 of them from Georgia and 36 from Italy) volunteer respondents. The outcomes of the study were analyzed and elaborated in the forms of practical recommendations for more effective planning and implementation of EFL teaching during and after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Published: June 2022

This study is an attempt to investigate English as a Foreign Language (EFL) University teachers’ awareness of the readability concept and formulas in Shaqra University, Saudi Arabia. The study also aims at investigating whether this awareness is affected by teachers’ experience. A three-scale questionnaire was designed to gather data from randomly selected 40 EFL teachers. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS program. The results showed that EFL teachers have only an overall awareness of readability concept and are not aware of its formulas. The results also showed that there is a weak relationship between teachers’ awareness of readability and their teaching experience. Based on the findings, the study recommended that the issue of readability and readability formulas should be included in EFL teachers’ pre-service and/or in-service training programmes.

AbstractBrain metastases are a challenging manifestation of renal cell carcinoma. We have a limited understanding of brain metastasis tumor and immune biology, drivers of resistance to systemic treatment, and their overall poor prognosis. Current data support a multimodal treatment strategy with radiation treatment and/or surgery. Nonetheless, the optimal approach for the management of brain metastases from renal cell carcinoma remains unclear. To improve patient care, the authors sought to standardize practical management strategies. They performed an unstructured literature review and elaborated on the current management strategies through an international group of experts from different disciplines assembled via the network of the International Kidney Cancer Coalition. Experts from different disciplines were administered a survey to answer questions related to current challenges and unmet patient needs. On the basis of the integrated approach of literature review and survey study results, the authors built algorithms for the management of single and multiple brain metastases in patients with renal cell carcinoma. The literature review, consensus statements, and algorithms presented in this report can serve as a framework guiding treatment decisions for patients. CA Cancer J Clin. 2022;72:454‐489.
Examining the interrelationships between mindfulness‐based interventions, depression, inflammation, and cancer survival
Authors: Marinovic Debra A. , Hunter Rebecca L. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractDepression is highly prevalent in those diagnosed with cancer and is also associated with poorer prognostic outcomes. Mindfulness‐based interventions are effective in reducing depressive symptoms and improving quality of life in patients with cancer. The objective of this review was to investigate whether mindfulness practices can improve survival and, if so, what mechanisms of action may contribute to these outcomes. Although no long‐term studies have investigated this hypothesis, the current literature supports an inflammatory basis for depression, implicating proinflammatory cytokines and hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal axis dysfunction as contributing factors. Markers of inflammation, such as interleukin‐6, tumor necrosis factor‐α, and cortisol, are all found at elevated concentrations in many depressed individuals. These exact mechanisms are associated with higher mortality in patients with cancer. Mindfulness has been studied for its effects on cytokine and cortisol levels, and there are promising data to support that the intervention can measurably decrease inflammation. Therefore, it is conceivable that mindfulness programs can affect survival in this population. There are limited data on the long‐term effects of mindfulness on depression and inflammatory markers in patients with cancer, and there are potential barriers to the implementation of mindfulness‐based interventions as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore these questions through longitudinal studies to establish a survival correlation. CA Cancer J Clin. 2022;72:490‐502.

Refractive errors are considered as avoidable conditions which may lead to visual disabilities in children. A cross-sectional study was conducted between January and May of 2021 in a tertiary level specialized eye hospital in the southern region of Bangladesh to assess the refractive errors among primary (elementary) school children. Our study population was all the primary school children attending the outpatient department of the hospital. However, we used convenient sampling in the study. A total of 252 primary school-going children were examined – 148(58.7%) boys and 104(41.3%) girls. Among them, the minimum age was seven years, and the maximum age was 12 years. The mean age of the children was 9.67 years. Among the refractive errors, myopia was the highest prevalent condition (103 children, 50%), followed by astigmatism (77 children, 37.4%), and hyperopia (26 children, 12.6%). Among astigmatism, myopic astigmatism was 58(75.3%), while mixed astigmatism was observed in 13(17%) children and hyperopic astigmatism was found in 6(7.8%) children. The amblyopia was noted in 17 children (6.7%). The visual acuity was improved after corrections of the refractive errors.

Authors: Nurunnabi Abu Sadat Mohammad , Islam Md Mozaharul , Sultan Mohammad Tipu , Sanwar Kursiya , Fatema Tofa Ishrak 
Published: June 2022

Lightning is one of the leading causes of weather-related fatalities. A man, approximately 30 years old, was brought to the morgue of Kishoreganj District Hospital, Bangladesh, in July 2021, known to be lightning strike victim. During postmortem examination, various types of skin burns were found in the body, at an entry site on and near the head, and at an inferiorly located exit site. The skin injuries consisted of superficial burns, charring, and singed hair; however, there was no deep burn. „Lichtenberg figures‟ were found. Internal findings at autopsy were nonspecific. Epidemiologically, the total number of global annual lightning fatalities range from 6,000 to 24,000 per year. In recent years, Bangladesh experiences a high rate of lightning deaths. We feel that the number of deaths by lightning should be seen as a call to action. Hence, deaths by lightning should be regarded as a public health problem in the country and necessary measures must be taken. Our case study aims to draw the attention of the physicians and public health department on injuries and deaths due to lightning strike. It is also important for forensic professionals to be familiar with the nature of injuries caused by lightning and lightning strike deaths.

A Young Bangladeshi Boy with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (Kartagener’s Syndrome): A Rare Case
Authors: Bari Muhammad Abdul , Hasan Mahmud Javed , Ahmed Sultan 
Published: June 2022

Kartagener’s syndrome, an autosomal recessive inherited disorder, is a subgroup of primary ciliary dyskinesias (PCD). This genetic disorder manifests from early life which distinguishes it from acquired mucociliary disorders. Kartagener’s syndrome presents as a classical triad of situs inversus, sinusitis and bronchiectasis occurring majorly due to impaired ciliary motility. A 16 year-old boy from Fulbaria, Mymensingh with left sided consolidation for 1 month and recurrent episodes of nasal congestion and lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) since his childhood. Clinical and imaging findings revealed left sided consolidation, chronic sinusitis, bronchiectasis, dextrocardia, and situs inversus. He was treated with orally administered antibiotics, bronchodilators, mucolytics, and chest physiotherapy. He was symptomatically better with the above therapy, and started on a long-term low-dose prophylactic antibiotic. As there is no easy, reliable non-invasive diagnostic test for Kartagener’s syndrome and the correct diagnosis is often delayed by years, it may cause chronic respiratory problems with reduced quality of life. Genetic counseling and fertility issues should be addressed once Kartagener’s syndrome is diagnosed.

PENGATURAN PENGGUNAAN LAHAN DI DAERAH HULU DAS CIMANUK SEBAGAI UPAYA OPTIMALISASI PEMANFAATAN SUMBERDAYA AIR
Authors: Susetyaningsih Adi 
Published: June 2022

Sungai Cimanuk merupakan salah satu sungai besar yang ada di wilayah propinsi Jawa Barat. DAS Cimanuk merupakan salah satu penopang utama sumberdaya air di Jawa Barat. Meningkatnya lahan kritis di daerah hulu DAS Cimanuk dapat mengancam kelangsungan Sungai Cimanuk sebagai salah satu sumberdaya air di Jawa Barat ini. Mengingat DAS sebagai satu kesatuan ekosistem maka perencanaanÂ penggunaan lahan yang utuhÂ sangat penting dan merupakan konsekuensi logis untuk menjaga kesinambungan pemanfaatan DAS Cimanuk sebagai sumberdaya air di propinsi Jawa Barat. Upaya untuk menyelamatkan hulu DAS Cimanuk dapat dilakukan melalui pendekatan administrative maupun teknis. Pendekatan adminstratisÂ dilakukan dengan kebijakan pengawasan yang ketat terhadap perubahan tata ruang di daerah hulu. Disamping itu perlu pula dibentuk komunitas-komunitas dari masyarakat di sekitar DAS yang bisa mengelola lahan kritis menjadi lahan konservasi yang produktif.Â Secara teknis upayaÂ dilakukan dengan membangun cekdam di sepanjang DAS yang berfungsi menampung lumpur yang terbawa arus sungai. Lumpur atau kerikil yang tertampung di cekdam tersebut nantinya boleh dimanfaatkan warga, untuk dijual. Dengan demikian, limbah alam itu memiliki nilai ekonomi. Keterkaitan faktor penggunaan lahan dengan kemampuan sungai menyediakan sumberdaya air adalah kemampuannya dalam memberi sanggahan (buffer) terhadap masukan atau resapanÂ curah hujan sehingga tidak menimbulkan sedimentasi dan debit air yang berlebih (banjir) akibat besarnya aliran permukaan

Efectos del acoso sexual callejero sobre el desarrollo del miedo y la ansiedad en mujeres entre los 20 y 30 años en Panamá
Authors: Gómez Lourdes , Álvarez Yuliana , Pauli Elianne , Oviedo Diana 
Published: June 2022

Objetivos: Esta investigación tiene como propósito explorar los efectos derivados de la experimentación de acoso sexual callejero (ASC) en mujeres entre los 20 y 30 años en Panamá. Metodología: Para obtener resultados sobre la experimentación de ASC, mujeres entre los 20 y 30 años (N=33) contestaron un cuestionario sociodemográfico y la Escala de Ansiedad de Hamilton. A 5 de las participantes se les realizó una entrevista a profundidad para conocer sus experiencias de ASC y el efecto que estas han tenido sobre ellas. Resultados: Se encontró que todas las participantes del estudio (100%) reportaron haber experimentado miedo durante la experiencia de ASC. Otras emociones reportadas fueron: impotencia, rabia y enojo. Se evidenciaron asociaciones significativas (p = 0.01) entre las burlas de los acosadores ante las reacciones de las víctimas y la ansiedad. Se encontró que, al experimentar mayores niveles de ansiedad, las víctimas perciben cambios corporales y tienden a cambiar de vestimenta y sus rutas. Conclusiones: El presente estudio es uno de los primeros en explorar en Panamá la experimentación del miedo y la ansiedad como un efecto directo del ASC. El acoso tiene repercusiones a nivel físico, social y emocional, por lo que debe comenzar a llamar la atención de la sociedad como una señal alarmante de la necesidad de educar a la población desde tempranas edades sobre el valor y el respeto que merece la mujer, como ser humano, en todos sus entornos y espacios de desarrollo.
