Published: December 2022

Background:
Malaria infection remains the most serious and widespread protozoan infection of humans and has been associated with different changes in hematological parameters. This study aimed to detect the effects of malaria infection on hematological parameters in Sudanese patients.

Methods:
This was a case–control study including 100 patients and 50 controls required from Kosti Teaching Hospital (Kosti City) from October 2, to November 11, 2020. All patients and controls were investigated for blood film for malaria, complete blood counts, and peripheral blood picture. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 16.

Results:
Hemoglobin (Hb) was decreased in 75% of our patients and in 10% of controls, P < 0.000. Hematocrit (HCT) was decreased in 55% of patients and in 8% of controls, P < 0.000. MCH was decreased in 33% of patients and in 12% of controls, P = 0.013. The mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) was decreased in 30% of study patients and in 10% of controls, P = 0.002. The mean corpuscular volume was decreased in 34% of patients and in 8% of controls, P = 0.056. Platelet (PLTs) count was decreased in 46% of patients and 0% of controls, P < 0.000. Platelet crit (PCT) was decreased in 75% of patients and in 16% of controls, P < 0.000. Furthermore, there were differences in white blood cell (WBC) counts between malaria parasite patients and controls, P = 0.058. No significant difference in red blood cell counts was seen between malaria parasite patients and controls, P = 0.797.

Conclusions:
Malaria parasite infection linked to many changes in hematological parameter characterized by reduction in WBC counts, PLT counts, PCT, Hb level, HCT, MCH, and MCHC.
Comparison of Clinical Efficacy of Antithyroid Drugs, Radioactive Iodine, and Thyroidectomy for Treatment of Patients with Graves' Disease, Toxic Thyroid Adenoma, and Toxic Multinodular Goiter
Authors: Bawand Rashed , Borzouei Shiva , Salimbahrami Seid Ahmadreza , Sheikh Vida 
Published: December 2022

Background:
The thyroid gland plays an important role in regulating the body's metabolism. On the other hand, primary hyperthyroidism is one of the most common disorders of the endocrine system. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the differences between outcomes of drug therapy with Methimazole & Propylthiouracil (PTU), radioactive Iodine therapy, and surgical procedures as the three most common therapeutic options for primary hyperthyroidism- in patients with Graves' disease, toxic thyroid adenoma, and Toxic Multi Nodular Goiter (TMNG).

Methods:
This observational study was performed prospectively, and after applying the exclusion criteria, 316 patients with a definite diagnosis of TNMG, toxic adenoma, or Graves' disease, remained in the study. For each patient, one of the therapeutic methods of administration of anti-thyroid drugs, the use of radioactive Iodine, or the use of thyroid surgery was chosen and applied, and during the study period, all patients were followed and evaluated.

Results:
In this study, 316 patients with primary hyperthyroidism were evaluated, of which 238 (75.31%) patients had Graves' disease, 23 (7.27%) patients had toxic adenoma, and 55 (17.40%) patients had TNMG. The symptoms of thyrotoxicosis syndrome were more common in Graves' disease than in other groups. In this study, 63.82% of drug takers, 20.90% of radioactive Iodine receivers, and 5.26% of patients who had gone under surgery became euthyroid. In addition, 83.27% of drug consumers did not have any side effects. Most patients receiving radioactive Iodine and surgical procedures developed hypothyroidism after treatment, while only 1.70% of those taking anti-thyroid drugs developed this complication. Nevertheless, the failure rate in the drug therapy was highest among all three methods by a percentage of 34.47%.

Conclusion:
This study suggests a prominent role of drug therapy in the treatment of patients with Graves' disease and TMNG, and in contrast, reduces the role of radioactive Iodine in the treatment of these diseases. However, it is difficult to comment on the treatment of toxic thyroid adenoma based on the findings of this study.
Effectiveness of spiritual augmented psychotherapy on resilience and conscience on juvenile delinquents
Authors: Sahare Pragya , Kotnala Anuradha 
Published: December 2022

Background:
Resilience and conscience are the ability to endure adversity without suffering negative consequences. Psychology and spirituality can both be major assets in building resilience and conscientiousness in juvenile delinquents.

Aims:
The present study aims at exploring the effectiveness of psychological and spiritual techniques in mounting psychological resilience and conscience in juvenile offenders.

Methods:
The convenience sampling method was used to take 62 respondents for the study. They were chosen from a juvenile shelter home in Haridwar, India. The experimental group, which included 30 participants, received psychospiritual intervention as cognitive-behavioral therapy sessions and Gayatri Mantra Lekhan activity. The control group comprised another 32 volunteers who were assessed using psychometric instruments. Participants were given two psychometric scales named the Child and Youth Resilience Measure and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory for the measurement of resilience and conscientiousness, respectively.

Statistical Analysis Used:
The hypotheses were tested using an independent samples t-test.

Results:
The experimental group's mean resilience score (mean = 77.93, standard deviation [SD] = 18.28) was statistically significantly greater than the control group's mean resilience score (mean = 44.53, SD = 8.38) with t (60) = 9.35, P = 0.01 (two-tailed). The experimental group's mean conscience score (mean = 35.47, SD = 4.61) is statistically significantly higher than the control group's mean conscience score (mean = 27.34, SD = 6.38) with t (60) =5.71, P = 0.01 (two-tailed).

Conclusions:
The study reveals that spiritual augmented psychotherapy is significantly associated with increasing the level of resilience and conscience in the study sample.

Authors: Asuzu MC 
Published: December 2022

In the consideration of the value of history in the developmental process of any group of people or programme, after almost 50 years of her existence, the history and development of the Association of Public Health Physicians of Nigeria (APHPN) is being documented here for the benefit of the association and her members both now and in the future, as the history is updated from time to time as is the case of progressive bodies as APHPN surely is. Having been created at a meeting in Lagos as the Association of Community Physicians of Nigeria (ACPN) in 1974, this article traces its life and development up till 1985 at Ibadan when it became an association of a sizeable number, including theestablishment of its journal and the quarterly newsletter.
The association then got reorganized between 2005 and 2007, with a new constitution, as the present ACPN, with the first Board of Trustees and registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission in the Presidency. The constitution was again revised in 2021 to accommodate the several growths that had taken place therein.
The establishment from the APHPN of two other non-physician-only public health associations in Nigeria with wider global activities and other developments within the APHPN are captured in this paper so that younger members of the association may learn from these and so grow more seriously and efficiently in their personal and group benefits; and especially for the country and the world at large.

Published: December 2022

Background: Individuals and families suffer financial hardship in seeking health care. The study aimed to assess health care financing and experience of financial hardship in seeking health care among urban and rural households in Ekiti State, Nigeria.
Methods: This was a comparative, cross-sectional study. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 420 households each in the rural and urban areas. Data was collected using pre-tested, structured interviewer-administered questionnaire, and analysed using SPSS v20. Level of statistically significance was set at p-value of <0.05.
Results: One hundred and seventy-nine respondents (42.6%) in the rural area, and 156 (37.1%) in the urban area had experienced difficulty in paying for health bills (p=0.105). Respondents who have had to borrow recently for seeking healthcare were 129 (30.7%) in the rural area, and 131 (31.2%) in the urban area (p=0.881), while 47 (11.2%) in the rural area, and 43 (10.2%) in the urban area have had to sell household assets (p=0.655). Out-of-Pocket was the main method of healthcare financing for the majority, 410 (97.6%) in the rural areas, and 400 (95.2%) in the urban areas. Only 10 (2.4%) of the ruralrespondents and 20 (4.8%) of the urban respondents were on health insurance.
Conclusion: A high proportion of the study population experienced financial hardship and there is high dependence on out-of-pocket financing. This calls for increased community mobilization and acceleration of the progression of health insurance towards universal coverage in Ekiti State.
Implications of Performance-based Financing Implementation for Maternal and Child Health Outcomes in Nigeria: A Scoping Review
Authors: Gadzama AD , Sondorp E , Mathew MR , Esomonu S 
Published: December 2022

Background: Performance-based financing (PBF) is seen as an open health system reformtailored to suit the needs of countries, even in a fragile context. It is thought to have the ability to address the strategic challenges of the sustainable development goals. This study explored the implementation of PBF in order to determine whether it improves maternal and child health outcomes in the Nigerian context.
Methods: This was a scoping literature review of online multiple databases and programme implementation documents. Six databases and an online library were searched using 30 key words, alone and in combination using Boolean terms. Thirty articles and five implementation documents were screened. At the end, 25 published articles and five implementation documents were reviewed. An adapted World Bank PBF conceptual framework was used for the review.
Results: We found mixed results across most of the service indicators consistent with findings in most lower, middle income countries. In both pilot states, the quality of health services, mainly technical, improved remarkably. There was improved utilisation of maternal and child health services, particularly institutional delivery, modern contraceptives and under-five vaccination. However, client dimension of quality was reportedly poor. The study found no impact of PBF on equity.
Conclusion: Collaborative partnership to develop policy frameworks for demand-side incentives to ensure equitable access to health services and sustainability of the project is essential. We further recommend that more incentives be paid for client quality dimension.
Tambiy Elekhoti: some aspects of the political life in the European emigration in the 1920–1940
Authors: Бабич И.Л. 
Published: December 2022

Цель исследования – описать основные направления общественно-поли- тической деятельности одного из наиболее видных осетин в европейской эмиграции в 1920–1940-е гг. – Тамбия Елекхоти. Статья подготовлена на основе архивных ма- териалов, собранных во Франции и в России. В статье впервые изучаются некоторые аспекты личной и политической жизни Елекхоти. До сих пор об этой личности не было научных исследований. До революции Елекхоти не проявлял себя в политической жизни, однако в эмиграции – вначале в Чехии, а потом во Франции – примкнул к тем горцам, ко- торые отстаивали идеи создания независимого государства на Северном Кавказе. Тем не менее крупных должностей в северокавказских организациях в эмиграции он не зани- мал, в кавказской масонской ложе не состоял. В 1920–30-е гг. он сосредоточился на под- готовке статей по истории и этнографии народов Северного Кавказа вообще и осетин в частности. Он проявил дар публициста. А в конце 1920-х гг. предположительно он во- шел в антироссийское агентство «Офинор», которое занималось мощной профашист- ской пропагандой. Есть несколько аргументов в пользу этой версии. Они приводятся в данной статье. Тем не менее этот период жизни Елекхоти, который длился довольно долго, до конца не исследован в силу ограниченности источников. Многие факты личной жизни до сих пор покрыты тайной
The aim of this study is to describe the main directions of the social and political activities one of the most famous Ossetian in European emigration in the 1920-1940s –TambiyaElekhoti. The study of the peculiarities of the political life of North Caucasian emigrants is an important and actual part in the field of foreign Caucasian studies. It can to understand like the modern political trends as the social paradigms. The article was prepared on the basis of archival materials collected in France and Russia. In this article is study life of Elekhoti in detail. The author examines some aspects of Elekhoti's personal and political life. Until now, there has been no scientific research on this person. Before the revolution, Elekhoti did not show him-self in political life, but in emigration, in Czech Republic and France, he supported the idea of creating an independent state in the North Caucasus. Nevertheless, he did not occupied high positions in the North Cau-casian organizations in emigration. He was not a member of the Caucasian Masonic Lodge. In the 1920-30s he focused on preparing some articles on the history and ethnography of the peoples of the North Caucasus in general, and the Ossetians in particular. He was excellent publicist. At the end of 1920s.he began to work in the anti-Russian agency "Ofinor". It was the tool of the p large-scale pro-fascist propaganda. There are several arguments in favor of this version.

Muhammadiyah yang didirikan oleh Ahmad Dahlan pada tanggal 18 November 1912 merupakan alternatif dan jawaban dari berbagai permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh bangsa Indonesia, khususnya umat Islam. Masalah utama yang dihadapi pada awal kelahirannya, antara lain, meringkuk di bawah cengkraman penjajahan kolonial Belanda, terjebak dalam praktik amalan Islam yang tidak murni, hidup dalam kemiskinan, kemelaratan, kebodohan, dan meluasnya pengaruh kristenisasi, sementara lembaga pendidikan yang dimiliki umat Islam yang akan mencerdaskan kehidupan bangsa sangat terbatas dan belum mampu menyiapkan generasi yang siap mengemban misi selaku khalifah Allah di muka bumi.

Beliau berkeyakinan bahwa berbagai kesulitan yang timbul dalam masyarakat dapat diatasi dengan ketujuh belas kelompok ayat Al-Qur’an dapat dijadikan sebagai pegangan pokok oleh para pewaris Muhammadiyah yang tidak sedikit diantara mereka telah meninggalkan jiwa/ruhiyah Muhammadiyah itu sendiri.
Vocabulary Learning Strategies of Indonesian EFL Learners in Malaysia: A Focus on Gender
Authors: Muhammad Nur Ridwan , Jusoh Zailani Binti 
Published: December 2022

Vocabulary learning is vital for EFL students. Students face difficulties in learning new English vocabulary. Meanwhile, few studies have investigated the strategies used by Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners to learn new words and the relationship with their gender differences. And there need to be more studies that examine the vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs) of Indonesian students studying abroad in the ESL context. Considering the increasing number of Indonesian students studying in ESL communities, this study aims to identify the vocabulary learning strategies employed by Indonesian university students who are pursuing their studies at universities in Malaysia. There were 183 students (89 males and 94 females) enrolled in various degree programmes randomly selected in this study. The Vocabulary Learning Strategies Questionnaire from(Almabrouk, 2017), based on (Schmitt, 1997)’s taxonomy, was adopted as the data collection instrument. The findings showed that the most frequent strategy employed by the respondents was 'trying to develop vocabulary knowledge by watching English TV channels (e.g. movies, songs, documentaries from the metacognitive category. Meanwhile, the least frequent strategy employed by the respondents was 'ask the lecturer for translation of the new word into an L1 translation' from the social category. The results also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in the use of VLSs based on gender.
