Published: August 2022

Purpose: Landslides cause distress in communities worldwide, disrupt socio-economic activities and cause damage to roads infrastructure. The purpose of this study was to undertake a comprehensive assessment of the recurrent landslide events along the Bamenda Ring Road (BRR) segment through the Bafut and Bafang mountain forests in the North West Region of Cameroon, located along the Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL).
Methodology: Topographic and geologic map studies, foot-borne surveys, hydro-meteorological data analysis and soil permeability tests were employed to the study. Results at the time of this study reveal 35 new slide scarps in Bafut and 16 along the Befang forests.
Findings: The topography culminates between 670-1300 m altitude, while more than 50% of the slopes in the study area are convex, the rest are convexo-linear, concave, while a few of them are linear. Natural slope gradients vary from 35-600, while prevalent number of slides occur on sub-vertical road-cut embankments. The slides are classified as small volume, short distance-travelled shallow translational than rotational debris flows. Base rocks of the study zone are essentially coarse-grained leucocratic granites with quartz, feldspars, biotite and muscovite minerals which appear liable to weathering. Meanwhile, residual soil samples are permeable, have increased pore water pressure and has a high liquefaction tendency due to its high clay content. The absence of recent or historic earthquakes suggests that causative factors of landslides could be linked to steep gradients, lithology, deep weathering profiles, considerable affinity for water of the weathered materials and prolonged rainy seasons. As such we highlight the contribution of the landslide hazard with the direct risk based on the extensive deterioration of the road characterized by multiple road defects and reduced socio-economic activities and the indirect risk linked to difficulties in the movement of goods and persons and management of resources.
Recommendations: This study recommend present officials to improve on their documentation and skills in monitoring rainfall and landslide hazard and manage disaster emergency; sensitize the population on landslide hazard and associated risk. There is need for government to establish a road authority for the management of landslide hazard, disaster relief and the land inside and outside the road.
AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGION AND NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: THE ROLE OF TOTEMS AND DEITY WORSHIP IN GHANA
Authors: Benson George 
Published: August 2022

Purpose: The exploitative tendencies of human activities have hugely hampered the environment, diversely. To that end, the international community has adopted several devices that are mainly anchored on law, ethics and religious doctrines to address the challenges. This paper looks at the relevance of religion towards environmental conservatism. In that regard, the main objective of the study was to ascertain how Traditional African Religious practices, in particular totemism and deity worship, do enhance the sustainable utilization of natural resources and the preservation of ecosystems.
Methodology: This study which was guided by qualitative methods using in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and participant-observations; purposively selected 45 participants based on their knowledge on the subject area across three ethnic groups in Ghana.
Findings: Findings showed that even though practices of totemism and deity worship by African Traditional Regions (ATRs) have aided environmental protection throughout the centuries, it is only coincidental as reasons behind the practices are spiritual and not born out of environmental consciousness or pragmatism. And that, practices of totemsim and deity worship are widely spread in Ghana and observed by all clans in the country.
Recommendations: For effective environmental protectionism, it is recommended amongst other things that in addressing current ecological challenges, both modern scientific methods and indigenous traditional modes be synchronized efficiently. Findings in this article call for the festering of ideas amongst religious environmentalists, environmental institutions, governments and policy makers, towards the efficient management of environmental resources in the given circumstances.

Authors: Bernier Allison , Ratcliff Karen , Hilton Claudia , Fingerhut Patricia , Li Chi-Ying 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Importance: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological condition characterized by impairments in social interaction, communication, and behavior. Occupational therapy practitioners use creative arts interventions for children with ASD, but relevant evidence for these interventions is lacking.
Objective: To provide occupational therapists evidence of the benefit of creative arts interventions for children with ASD by evaluating treatment efficacy and connecting the evidence with the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process (4th ed.; OTPF–4).
Data Sources: We searched peer-reviewed articles in six databases: CINAHL, Cochrane, PubMed, Ovid, PsycInfo, and Scopus. Eighteen articles published between 2000 and 2020 met Level 1b or 2b evidence criteria and were retrieved for full review; 15 were included in this scoping review.
Study Selection and Data Collection: We used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to extract data. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) Level 1b or 2b study; (2) quantitative data; (3) published in English; (4) population of children (ages &lt;18 yr); (5) primary diagnosis of ASD; and (6) creative arts intervention in the forms of drawing, painting, or coloring; music; or theater.
Findings: Creative arts interventions benefited children with ASD in two OTPF–4 areas (process and social interaction) pertaining to the Performance Skills domain and one OTPF–4 area (body functions) pertaining to the Client Factors domain. We found similar effects for group and individual intervention sessions, and significant improvements required multiple sessions.
Conclusions and Relevance: Our findings provide evidence for the efficacy of creative arts interventions to enhance occupation-based outcomes for children with ASD.
What This Article Adds: Our findings support occupational therapy practitioners’ use of creative arts interventions to improve OTPF–4-based client factors and process and social interaction skills for children with ASD.

Authors: Şimşek Zeki , Kalkan Sedat , Zehir Regayip , Alizade Elnur 
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Pathological Q waves are correlated with infarct size, and Q wave regression is associated with left ventricular ejection fraction improvement. There are limited data regarding the association between Q wave regression and clinical outcomes. Our main objective was to assess the association of pathological Q wave evolution after reperfusion with clinical outcomes after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Patients and Methods: Standard 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) were recorded in 1553 patients, who presented to our hospital with chest pain and underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI) with the diagnosis of STEMI and were retrospectively analyzed. ECGs were recorded before and 90 min after PCI, as well as at hospitalization discharge and 12 months of follow-up. The study population was divided into three groups as the Q wave regression group, the Q wave persistent group, and the non-Q wave MI group.
Results: There were 502 (32%) patients with persistent Q waves (PQ group), 509 (33%) patients with Q wave regression (RQ group), and 542 (35%) patients with non-Q wave MI (NQ group). The degree of LVEF was significantly greater in the RQ group and NQ group than in the PQ group [(47.5 ± 10.1 vs. 49.2 ± 9.9) vs. 43.3 ± 10.5 respectively, p<0.01]. One-year mortality was significantly greater in the PQ group compared to the RQ and NQ groups [19 (3.78%) vs. 11 (2.16%) vs. 6 (1.1%) respectively, p<0.01].
Conclusion: In a population of STEMI patients, persistent Q waves defined according to the classic ECG criteria after reperfusion were associated with high one-year mortality, and low LVEF, while Q wave regression was associated with significantly lower risk of events.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: We aimed to describe the impact of COVID-19 among the patients who had cardiac surgery, with particular emphasis on pulmonary complications and 30-day mortality.
Patients and Methods: From March 2020 to June 2021, a total of 2267 patients underwent cardiovascular surgery at Koşuyolu High Specialization Training and Research Hospital.. Patients who tested SARSCoV-2-positive by PCR perioperatively (seven days before or 30 days after surgery), despite testing negative at admission, were included. The primary endpoint of the study was 30-day mortality following surgery. The secondary endpoint was the development of pulmonary complications including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or respiratory failure, which were defined according to the Berlin definition, and the need for mechanical ventilation for >48 h after the operation or the need for re-intubation after extubation.
Results: Eleven patients out of 2267 (0.48%) had a positive PCR test for COVID-19. In the postoperative period, seven patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 in the clinical wards, of whom three patients were readmitted to the ICU. Nine patients had radiological pulmonary involvement. Five patients (45.5%) developed ARDS within four to seven days after a positive PCR test. Eight patients (72.7%) developed respiratory failure and required re-intubation, of whom two could not be extubated. Five patients (45.5%) died within 30 days, and seven (63.6) died during their hospital stay.
Conclusion: COVID-19 has a severe negative impact on the postoperative course of cardiac surgery patients in terms of cardiovascular outcomes, pulmonary complications, and mortality. Given the dramatic impact of COVID-19 infection on postoperative outcomes, it appears that deferring cardiovascular surgeries may be more suitable if COVID-19 positivity is detected.

Published: August 2022

Background Consideration of psychological factors towards exercise participation is important, especially when placed within a cultural context. Objective The aim of this study was to translate the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale and Exercise Motivation Inventory-2 to Maltese and undertake psychometric testing. Methods Maltese-speaking participants (n = 170) aged 18 to 69 years were recruited. 72% completed both questionnaires twice within an 8-to 48-hour period. Reliability was calculated using the Spearman correlation, intraclass correlation coefficient, and Bland–Altman plots. Convergent construct validity was tested using Spearman correlation between theoretical variables. Results In total 155 participants completed the questionnaires at both time points. The test/re-test reliability of the two questionnaires was >0.7 for all analyses. Correlations for validity were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion The translated tools have similar psychometric properties to the original version; the authors recommend that health care professionals and physical activity practitioners use these tools when examining population-level physical activity behaviour among Maltese-speaking individuals.

Published: August 2022

Objective To evaluate radiological outcomes following the use of xenogeneic bone graft substitute (BGS) in patients undergoing multisegmental spinal fusion. Summery of Background Data Data exists for single level and short segment fusions, there presently is a paucity of data on fusion rate after bone augmentation with BGS in multisegmental posterior spinal fusion (PSF). The leading concern is pseudarthrosis, which often leads to a loss of correction after PSF. Therefore, the bone graft is an essential aspect of PSF. Methods We retrospectively analysed the radiological data of a consecutive cohort of patients who had been treated for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) via multisegmental spinal fusion, in whom a bovine derived BGS had been used and had a complete dataset of 24 months follow-up. The Cobb angle of the main curve was measured pre-operatively and then at 6, 12 and 24 months post-operatively. Loosening of the screws was recorded at the same post-operative time points. Results After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 28 patients were included. We found no significant change of the cobb angle from the main curve as well as the cobb angle from the thoracic kyphosis during the 24 months of follow up. No patient showed a lack of bony fusion. There was 1 revision surgery, which was due to trauma. Conclusion In this cohort, all patients showed successful bone fusion during a 24-month follow-up. Additionally, there was no change in the Cobb angle during the 2-year post-operative period. Our data indicates that the use of bovine-derived BGS supports bone fusion after multisegmental posterior instrumented fusion of the spine.

The aim of study was to evaluate the efficacy of blood loss prevention with Tranexamic acid in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The Authors defined a new protocol that foresees the use of Tranexamic acid both pre-intra and post-operatively. Seventy patients indicated for TKA were enrolled. Thirty-five patients (control group) followed standard protocol without Tranexamic acid and the other 35 patients (study group) followed standard protocol with Tranexamic acid. We analyzed the values of hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT) and red blood cells (RBCs) both pre-operatively (T0) and post-operatively: immediately after surgery (T1), at one day (T2) and three days post-op (T3). We observed statistical differences at T0 and T3 regarding the Hb, HT and RBCs value between the two groups. Moreover, 11.4% in the study and 28.5% in the control group required blood transfusion. No thrombotic or thrombo-embolic events were reported. We conclude that Tranexamic acid use, as in our protocol, reduces postoperative bleeding in primary knee arthroplasty, with the absence of thrombo-embolic events.
Guest Workers and Non-Aligned Friends: Postsocialist and Postcolonial Solidarity in Želimir Žilnik’s Recent Films about Migration
Authors: Kovačević Nataša 
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT
This article examines the intersections of historic and contemporary trajectories of migration in Želimir Žilnik’s latest films. Docudrama Logbook Serbistan (2015) and feature film The Most Beautiful Country in the World (2018) focus on contemporary African and Asian migrants who cross the Balkan route to the European Union. Both films place in conversation the histories of emigration to western Europe from (post)colonial countries and (post)socialist eastern Europe, highlighting the migrants’ shared economic alienation from European prosperity. In turn, documentary Our Man in Gabon (2014) addresses the legacy of the Non-Aligned Movement, which sent many socialist Yugoslav companies and workers to construction sites across the Global South. The films highlight the extent to which Yugoslav socialism depended on migration—the export of to both western Europe and the Global South—which, along with its legacy of Non-Aligned anticolonialism, creates potential for solidarity with contemporary migrants traveling across the Balkans.
Christianity in the Kingdom of Kongo and Western Theism: A Comparative Study of the Problem of Evil
Authors: Cordeiro-Rodrigues Luís 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Philosophers have been intrigued by the problem of evil for centuries: How can God and evil coexist? This article tries to answer this question by using Kongolese religious thought from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. I contend that the Kongolese view gleaned from historical sources and complemented by contemporary African philosophical scholarship contains sufficient resources to reply to this problem coherently. Particularly, I argue that, from the Kongolese viewpoint, evil in the world can be explained as follows. God and other morally good entities (e.g., the morally good living dead) are not morally perfect and may commit moral errors. Moreover, God does not have unlimited power over morally bad entities who may commit moral wrongs. This view, I contend, deserves consideration since, unlike the mainstream Western perspective, it does not imply the unacceptable view that horrendous evils are morally justified.

This paper aims at the effective utilization of TPR approaches in teaching English as a second language among children with dyslexia. This stress free simple teaching strategy is developed by James Asher. It emphasizes at bringing the dyslexics to the main stream of learning process. As T.P.R consists of different easy and fun activities it helps the student to understand the target language very effectively. It raises the pace and mood of the student. This method is very beneficial for kinaesthetic learners who need to be energetic in class. It involves the left and right brained learning. This approach is considered to be a fruitful method to help language learners to recall, accumulate, use and regain words in long term memory. To obtain a clear understanding on the efficacious of TPR teaching method among dyslexic students, a survey is conducted among teachers who teach dyslexic students. The questionnaire includes 10 questions. While analysing the survey, the responses from the teachers indicates that the students respond to the imperative drills and other activities very actively. So adopting TPR as a teaching strategy helps the children with dyslexia to learn English more effectively in a stress free environment.
coexistence of non-communicable diseases and mental illnesses among persons in two (2) Jamaican hospitals
Authors: Lynch Monique 
Published: August 2022

Background: One of the major contributors to the NCDs burden is mental health disorders, however the burden has been underestimated because the links between mental health and other health conditions are not well understood (Murray, 2012). Mental illness is a risk factor for NCD; its presence increases the chance that an individual will also suffer from one or more chronic illnesses. Additionally, individuals with mental health conditions are less likely to seek help for NCD and symptoms may affect adherence to treatment as well as prognosis [(Druss & Walker, 2011), (Prince et. al., 2007)]. Methods: This study utilised a mixed method approach with a descriptive cross-sectional design for the quantitative segment of the data which included the distribution, collection, and analysis of the survey tools. A narrative approach was employed to collect qualitative data using content analysis of the psychiatric patients’ dockets to assess the coexistence of NCDs to assemble information on the screening practices of health professionals. Results: This study showed high prevalence of mental disorders (depression and/or GAD) among chronically ill patients (diabetic and/or hypertensive) of 57.3%. This result is agreeing with what WHO/WONCA reported regarding the prevalence of mental health problems in public hospital care of 60%.
