Conflicts are a common phenomenon in any given organization including the school system where there is human interaction. There has been persistent public concern on declining teachers’ productivity in public secondary schools in Uasin Gishu County. This is partly attributable to conflicts. The aim of this paper was to determine the influence of negotiation conflict management strategy on teachers’ productivity in public secondary schools in Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya. The study adopted correlational research design and targeted 156 principals and 1783 teachers from 156 public secondary schools. Krejcie and Morgan sample size determination formula was used to attain a sample size of 427 respondents. The study employed purposive sampling, stratified and simple random sampling approaches. Data was collected using questionnaires. The study used mean, standard deviation, frequencies and percentages and Pearson Correlation Analysis to analyze data which was presented in tables. The study found out that there was a significant positive correlation between negotiation and teachers’ productivity (r = .525; p = .000) in secondary schools in Uasin-Gishu County. The paper concluded that there was a significant positive correlation between negotiation as a conflict management strategy and teachers’ productivity in secondary schools in Uasin-Gishu County showing that negotiation conflict management strategy positively enhances teachers’ productivity in secondary schools. The paper recommends that principals of secondary schools need to adopt conflict management approaches that strongly advocate for negotiation of all arising issues to ensure that compromise is easily reachable. This could be helpful in guiding management decisions and choices as to the most effective conflict management strategies to apply to resolve existing workplace conflicts.

Introduction: Preeclampsia, a dangerous condition characterized by high blood pressure during pregnancy, poses risks to both mothers and infants. Understanding the risk factors associated with preeclampsia is essential for effective prevention and management. This study aims to identify and investigate the potential risk factors contributing to preeclampsia in women, with the goal of improving the health outcomes of expectant mothers and their babies. Methods: This study was a case-control study conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). The study period spans from 1st July 2019 to 31st December 2019. The study population consists of 100 participants, including 50 pregnant normotensive women as the control group and 50 pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia oreclampsia as the case group. The Ethical clearance of this study was obtained from the Institutional Review Board of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Results: Out of 100 patients, the control group consisted of 30% individuals aged 21-25 years, while the case group had 32% individuals aged 16-20 years. The mean age for the control group was 23.11 years (SD 5.9), and for the case group, it was 24.5 years (SD 6.3). The distribution of study patients based on risk factors reveals statistically significant differences between the control and case groups for the variable’s "gravidity" and "antenatal care" (p < 0.05). The case group had a higher proportion of primigravida (first-time pregnancy) and irregular or no antenatal care. However, no significant differences were observed for the variables "family history of hypertension" and "gestational age" (p > 0.05). In terms of clinical parameters, the case group exhibited significantly higher prevalence of proteinuria at all levels (1+, 2+, and 3+) compared to the control group. The blood pressure readings, both systolic and diastolic, were also significantly higher in the case group. Moreover, the case group had significantly lower serum calcium levels than the control group. These differences were statistically significant with p-values indicating p<0.01 o p< 0.001. Basis on the results the significant risks factors associated with Preeclampsia were observed, Gravidity (p=0.05), Antenatal care (p=0.05), Proteinuria (p=0.001), Blood Pressure-Systolic(mmHg)(p=0.001), Blood Pressuredystonic (mmHg) (p=0.001), Serum Calcium Level (mg/dl) (p=0.001). Conclusion: The study observed Gravidity, Antenatal care Proteinuria, Blood Pressure - Systolic (mmHg), Blood Pressure - dystonic (mmHg), Serum Calcium Level (mg/dl) were the significant factors associated with the Preeclamptic Women in Bangladesh.

This research is considered important because efforts to resolve general criminal cases in Indonesia through a restorative justice approach can be realized if a regulation of material criminal law can be substantively reconstructed to provide legal certainty for justice seekers in a restorative justice manner. There was a conflict between Das Sein and Das Sollen. There are three problems raised in this dissertation research, which are about how the concept of law enforcement for criminal acts of theft through a restorative justice approach. To analyze these problems used the social legal research method. The results of this study found that the restorative justice approach is to realize the implementation of restorative justice in the settlement of general crimes with substantive legal, progressive, efficient and just powers. Reconstruction of several articles consisting of formal and material laws and regulations as well as law enforcement implementing regulations including the Criminal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code, the Prosecutor's Office Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 15 of 2020 concerning Termination of Prosecution Based on Restorative Justice, Regulations Kapolri Number 14 of 2012 concerning Investigation Management, Kapolri Regulation Number 3 of 2015 concerning Community Policing. The concept of upholding the crime of theft through a restorative justice approach is to realize sentencing efficiency and a change in the sentencing paradigm. Looking at the phenomenon of the Indonesian judiciary which is very crowded from the accumulation of case files as an illustration of the large number of cases in this Republic, the condition of prisons that are over capacity, as well as the increasingly high state budget for financing legal proceedings.

Acute intestinal intussusception is a rare condition in adults. In the majority of cases, it is secondary to a tumor, which can be benign or malignant. Intestinal intussusception caused by a lipoma is exceptionally rare. We report a case of ileocolic intussusception caused by an ileal lipoma.

The pet industry in Indonesia is a massive emerging industry with lots of target markets to serve. A study estimated that around 67% of Indonesians have pets in 2022, and the number is increasing annually. The phenomenon drove a new startup, Catalogy, to connect pet owners to pet care businesses. However, as a first time business founder, job assignment can be trickier than it seems. A job description is essential to ease job assignment processes inside an organization, yet not every role can receive desirable job assignments. As role ambiguity arises, it is crucial to examine why role ambiguity occurs and how it influences a startup. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to gain insights from various startups. Four startups and Catalogy team members were interviewed to answer the research objectives. From the analysis, there are five factors which trigger role ambiguity: (1) Organizational size, (2) Employee capabilities, (3) Team composition, (4) Job division, and (5) Team management. Furthermore, these five qualities of role ambiguity significantly affect on the overall team performance of the mentioned startups.

Canine Cushing's syndrome, also known as hyperadrenocorticism (HAC), is one of the most prevalent endocrinopathies observed in dogs, characterized by elevated cortisol levels. The majority of cases are associated with pituitary tumors, leading to excessive production of corticotrophin (ACTH), thereby stimulating the adrenal glands to secrete cortisol. Clinical manifestations arise from the rise in cortisol concentration and encompass diabetes mellitus, polyuria, and polydipsia. Additionally, prolonged administration of glucocorticoids (iatrogenic) can also contribute to the development of Cushing's syndrome. The surplus cortisol resulting from this condition not only impacts the affected dog's health but also exerts adverse effects on various endocrine systems, leading to anestrus, infertility, premature labor, and high fetal mortality in canines. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of these reproductive implications is essential to manage this syndrome effectively. The diagnosis of canine hyperadrenocorticism can be done by patient history, clinical signs, specific endocrine tests, and ultrasonography. Despite its significance, knowledge regarding the reproductive implications associated with Cushing's syndrome remains limited. Hence, this review aims to provide a thorough examination of the changes and challenges related to hyperadrenocorticism in canines, with a particular focus on its impact on the reproductive system. By shedding light on this aspect, the review intends to contribute valuable insights to the existing scientific literature and promote better management of this complex syndrome in dogs.

This paper discusses the importance of economic diversification for the Natural resource rich nations with a special focus on Saudi Arabia. The paper will concentrate on Saudi Arabia’s efforts to achieve diversification by investing in tourism industry. Natural resources are the real wealth of nations. The availability of resources can directly influence a country's ability to grow. But at the same time a nation's economy may suffer significant and unfavourable repercussions if it is overly reliant on one or two resources, this phenomenon is called as “resource curse”. Economic diversification must therefore be successfully implemented for an economy to enjoy long-term prosperity. Saudi Arabia has made notable efforts in diversifying its economy to reduce its reliance on oil and mitigate the resource curse. With tourism industry being one of the largest non-oil contributors and one of the biggest jobs creating sector, the Saudi Arabian government recognizes the importance and ability of the tourism industry and considers it as one of the prime drivers in efforts of diversifying the economy. The paper will analyse role of tourism marketing in establishing a growing and glowing tourism sector. Finally, we examine the Saudi Arabian government's tourism marketing initiatives and the results it yielded.

A major problem for adolescent girls is malnutrition and anaemia. Inadequate nutrition during adolescence has the potential to have a serious negative influence on the reproductive years and beyond. The likelihood that Indian girls would acquire anaemia is doubled since they typically marry and have children before their growth spurt is complete (Chatterjee, 2008). Because of its high nitrate concentration and beta carotene content (19690 mcg/100g), beetroot juice with jaggery aids in the mobilisation of stored iron and increases haemoglobin levels in anaemic people. With its potential to stabilise blood pressure, beetroot juice is used to treat anxiety. In persons with diabetes, it is believed to improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, and improve athletic performance. Because beetroot juice has a diuretic effect and is occasionally combined with Amla juice, eating beets is recommended in cases of gonorrhoea. Heart disease, diabetes, and obesity are all decreased by beetroot juice. Jaggery's high iron and folate content assists adolescent girls with a number of menstruation issues, including easing stomach pain during periods and preventing anaemia by maintaining a proper volume of blood cells. Increased blood counts, better circulation, and a rise in the capacity of erythrocytes to carry oxygen are all results of beetroot juice's assistance in the absorption of iron.

This study examined the use of e-learning technologies as predictors of students’ academic performance in public secondary schools in Port Harcourt and Obio-Akpor LGA of Rivers State. The study was guided by three objectives, three research questions and hypotheses. The population of the study comprised of 14,769 academic staff and SS2 stydents of all the 37 public senior secondary schools in Port Harcourt and Obio-Akpor LGA of Rivers State. The sample size for this study was 1477 respondents, representing 10% of the entire population. The sampling technique was a proportionate stratified random sampling. The instruments were questionnaire and teacher made test, used for the study to generate date. The instruments were validated and it reliability were tested using Kuder Richardson method, which yielded coefficients of 0.84 and 0.82 for The Use of E-learning Technologies Scale (TUETS) and Teacher Made Test Scale (TMTS) respectively. The research questions were answered with the use of simple regression, while the hypotheses were tested with t-test associated with simple regression at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that the use of laptop and tablet computers predicts students’ academic performance in public secondary schools in Rivers State to a low extent, while smartphone as e-learning technologies predicts students’ academic performance in public secondary schools in Rivers State to a high extent. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that the government who are the owners of public secondary schools should ensure that all schools have functional laptop computer laboratories, accessible to both teachers and students with trained personnel to help them acquire relevant ICT skills that will aid teaching and learning process for improved academic performance of students. Also, parents should explore all positive means to provide smartphones, constant strong Wi-Fi connection, browsing data, constant power supply for students with strict monitoring by the school PTA to guide, orientate and control students on how they can use the smartphones available to them to their own advantage, as all of these will enhance effective academic learning activities with minimal distraction.

Roland Barthes’ Mythologies perhaps has the singular distinction of having baffled scholars of semiotics/cultural studies or anyone who has taken an interest in the history of French colonialism and its nefarious influence on the ‘empire’ (Algeria, in particular). This article despite its limitations, intends to demystify/unravel some ostensibly innocuous ‘culinary predilections’ in vogue (during the 1950s-1960s and in some cases even germane to the 21st century) in France. In addition to his magnum opus, I will focus on his other significant text on the same topic (and gastro nationalism), Toward a Psychosociology of contemporary food consumption.

Mature teratomas, or teratoid tumors, or benign teratomas, of the nasal cavity and sinuses are exceptional the diagnosis is histopathological and shows within the lesion different types of tissue: fat, glial, muscular, cartilaginous, bone and respiratory. Teratomas are rare congenital neoplasms that originate from pluripotent cells. In this article, we report the first case of a nasal teratoma. We also discuss methods for diagnosing and treating upper respiratory teratomas, and include a brief literature review.

Man is a social animal that interacts and associates with other people in his environment. But there are situations where his human relationship may be negatively impacted. One of such instances is a situation where the person who was last seen with the accused dies and the accused is presumed to be liable for the death of the person. The doctrine of last seen is often relied upon by the prosecution in such circumstance. The doctrine of last seen is a principle in the offence of homicide particularly murder. It is one of the concept or principles that points to the accused person as the culprit responsible for the death of the deceased/victim. For an accused person to be held liable and convicted for the death of the deceased, the evidence of the prosecution must be compelling, irresistible and point to the accused person. This study examined and carried out a critique of the doctrine of last seen as one of the principles of murder with particular reference to an examination of the concept of murder, the doctrine of last seen, the exceptions thereto and the consideration of the doctrine of last seen in India. This study adopted doctrinal research methodology and also placed reliance on both primary and secondary sources. This study concluded that this doctrine should be painstakingly applied to avoid a hasty and erroneous or fatal conclusion as to the cause of death of a person who was last seen with the accused person.

Purpose: The paper analyzes the efficacy of risk management governance, which takes the form of a dedicated risk governance committee and the executive board with the CRO. It illustrates which aspects of risk management and governance are crucial for the banks' financial performance. It also emphasizes financial sustainability through risk management and governance. Design/Methodology/Approach: A quantitative research approach is employed with secondary data from published and reliable sources. Regression analysis is employed for estimating the impact, and a t-test is performed for estimating the difference. Findings: It concludes that the financial performance measured using returns ratio significantly differs among the banks with the executive board having a CRO and the executive board having an absence of a CRO. The financial performance variable taken as a function of the bank's corporate governance variables assumes a positive and significant impact. It infers that risk governance can lead to sustainable financial performance. Research Limitations and Implications: This study contributes to the risk governance structure of banks. The future work should consider different samples and extended risk-based variables for more implications. Originality: The banks performance with a risk management approach in South Asian economies after the global crisis is a valuable addition to the corporate governance of banks in the studied countries. The comparative analysis of banks with and without the role of the CRO is a unique contribution in the provided setting.

Endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC) is most common invasive malignancy of female genital tract. In spite of advances in diagnosis and treatment, incidence of EEC has been rising because of increasing aging population and prevalence of obesity. Therefore, there is need of research exploring the underlying molecular mechanism of EEC and its precursors. Wnt/ β-catenin signaling are involved in the progression and invasion of EEC. However, the potential role of Wnt/ β-catenin signaling and its effectors in endometrial cancer and precursor lesions remains to be investigated. In the present study a total of 95 samples of endometrial biopsies were assessed histopathologically along with β-catenin expression by immunohistochemistry and promoter methylation of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene by bisulfite method. Women age ranged from 35 to 70 years whose endometrial biopsy and resected samples were obtained. Expression of β-catenin was observed in 28/39; 72% of EEC, 23/37; 62% of precancer cases and 4/19; 21% of normal proliferative endometrium. APC promoter was completely unmethylated in all controls (14/14) and precancer (10/10) groups, however, only one case (1/13, 8%) of cancer was methylated. The present study showed that expression of β-catenin was upregulated in EEC and precursor lesions suggesting involvement of Wnt/ β-catenin signaling from an early stage of development of cancer from precancer. The information might offer a potential therapeutic target for EEC and could also be used as a screening tool in endometrial hyperplasia (EH) cases for detecting potentially precancerous lesions.

The Kenyan Government through the Ministry of Education has since independence been committed to improving education and inclusion of children with audio, visual, physical and mental disabilities. Despite the fact that considerable change and growth have been realized since the ratification of treaties such as United Nation Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the implementation of inclusive free and appropriate education for learners living with Specific Learning disabilities still remains a challenge. This limits the potential of students with specific learning disabilities especially in mainstream classrooms, to acquire basic literacy skills including spoken language, reading, writing, spelling and comprehension. Literacy skills are key in determining performance in other subjects taught in the school curriculum. The overall objective of this study is the exploration of the application and relevance of the Orton Gillingham structured literacy teaching approach to pupils living with dyslexia in Kenyan public primary schools. This qualitative study used content analysis to explore appropriate teaching methodology to pupils with such challenges. The study analyzed various studies that have been done on the appropriateness and effectiveness of the Orton Gillingham method and its application and relevance to the Kenyan school context.
