Oversight of the case settlement process using a restorative justice approach and the implementation of the resulting agreement rests with the direct supervisor of the responsible official at each level of examination. As long as the restorative justice process takes place and after restorative justice is carried out, social counselors are required to provide guidance and supervision. If the restorative justice agreement is not carried out within the time specified in the agreement, the social adviser immediately reports to the responsible official. The approach method used in this study is the juridical-normative research method, which is a research method that examines secondary data (data that has been documented). The results of this study are (1) Weaknesses of restorative justice policies in cases of children as perpetrators of crimes are Weaknesses in Legal Substance is Article 7 of the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law which explains the implementation of diversion at the level of investigation, prosecution, and examination of child cases in District Court. The weakness of the legal structure is that law enforcement officials, especially the National Police, who are part of the criminal justice subsystem, are required to seek settlement of child cases as perpetrators of crimes through restorative justice. The weakness of the Legal Culture is the low level of public understanding in terms of understanding the investigation process through diversion, where often the parties (perpetrators and victims) ask for diversion even though the formal requirements for diversion are not fulfilled/the threat is more than 7 years and is a repetition of a crime. (3) Reconstruction of Article 140 (2) letter (a) by adding a termination of prosecution based on the concept of restorative justice.

Audit quality is a condition about an auditor finding and reporting misstatements in the accounting system. This study aims to analyze what factors affect audit quality both from literature studies and the results of distributing questionnaires to respondents. This research also involves interviews with the auditors and clients of public accountant representatives. This research is a qualitative study. Data collection through google with the garuda.kemdikbud.go.id website by limiting 100 sinta-accredited studies for the 2018-2023 period. The results showed different priorities between academics and respondents' opinions (55 people who are auditors and clients) on the variables that determine audit quality. In addition, interestingly in this study, the different factors were confirmed through interviews and found other variables for future research such as communication skills, time management, EI, SI and AI for further research. In future audit quality research, it is also necessary to conduct a pilot study before determining the variables because of the gap between academia and industry in seeing the problems that affect audit quality.

Ruellia brittoniana is a common wild ethnomedicinal plant belonging to the Acanthaceae family. The plant was claimed ethnically wound-healing properties, use as an antidote against snake bites and to cure bone fractures. However, these claims are not been validated. The present study deals with powder microscopy, fluorescence, and qualitative phytochemical analysis of the leaves, stem, and root of this plant. The powdered microscopy showed the presence of both types of trichomes and spiral elements. The Fluorescence analysis under visible and ultra-violet light for leaves, stems and root powder treated with various chemical reagents revealed different patterns of fluorescence effect. The qualitative phytochemical study showed that the plant is rich in phytochemicals and possesses significant levels of Glycosides, alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, and saponins. The availability of these groups of Phyto- components indicates that the plant could prove an alternative remedy to cure asthma, fever, bronchitis, high blood pressure, eczema, and diabetes. Further, the GC-MS analysis revealed the 10 phytochemical compounds have significant medicinal potential. The major objective of this study is to endorse this plant as a step toward commercial drug developments after confirming and standardizing its microscopic features and fluorescence behavior to identify adulteration in market-available crude drug powder and screening for possible drug molecules.

It is important for nurses to consistently enhance their knowledge and abilities, which can be achieved through participating in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs. The objective of this research is to implement a CPD program at PHCCs that will maintain the standard of nursing services. This will be accomplished through a training needs evaluation that was conducted in 2021. Methods: The research conducted was a secondary quantitative study known as a "desk study". The data used for this study was collected in 2021 from Primary Health Care Centers (PHCCs) in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, specifically from the Riyadh First Health Cluster. The participants were recruited from these health centers and were all nurses. The study interviewed a convenient sample of 700 nurses and managed to get a response rate of 82.4%. Results: According to the study, a significant number of nurses (84.8%) held a Diploma of Science in Nursing, indicating that the study participants recognized the advantages of attending continuing nursing education. The nursing staff prioritized learning essential concepts and principles for performing nursing procedures and improving their advanced nursing skills. Although the majority of the sample had a Diploma degree, most of the respondents expressed a desire for professional development in leadership and management knowledge and skills. Conclusion: It is important to establish a continuing education program that is tailored to meet the professional requirements of nurses working in primary health care centers. The design of such a program should consider the challenges that inhibit nurses' participation in continuing professional development (CPD) and develop effective strategies and frameworks to enhance their involvement in community health.

Agriculture is facing many challenges as a result of climate change, particularly in less developed areas such as Cooch Behar District (West Bengal). This study assesses the current institutional and policy environment for mitigating climate-related agricultural risk. Specifically, the study looks at the impact of flooding, waterlogging, erratic rainfall and soils on agriculture and rural livelihoods. Agricultural risk mitigation strategies have been established at both the national and state levels (e.g. through national/state agricultural policies, irrigation schemes, crop insurance and climate resilient agricultural programmes). However, due to poor coordination, limited awareness, inadequate extension support and lack of access to finance or technology, many of these initiatives have been ineffective. Local institutions are critical in facilitating linkages between farmers and government assistance, and include Panchayati Raj Institutions, cooperatives and self-help/self-directed groups. This study recommends that institutions be strengthened, that greater emphasis be placed on coordination and cooperation, and that climate-smart agricultural practices be promoted to support sustainable development. Ultimately, an inclusive policy environment is needed in order to build resilience in agriculture and support rural livelihoods.

The main purpose of the study was to ascertain if academic excellence is a yardstick for employability in the Nigerian labour market. The study was guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses. The population consisted of 173 Business Education graduates from public tertiary institution offering Business Education programme in Enugu State in the 2019/2020 academic session. No sampling was carried out since the population was manageable. The instrument used for data collection was a 17-itemed questionnaire developed by the researcher. The instrument was validated by three experts and the reliability of the instrument was determined using Crombach Alpha which yielded reliability index of 0.88. The instrument was administered by the researcher. 160 out of 173 copies of the questionnaire were well responded to, returned and therefore, used for data analysis representing 93 percent return rate. Mean and standard deviation were used for data analysis and correlation statistics was used to test the null hypotheses. Findings showed that: High and low achievers get jobs at same rate, Doing well on the job does not depend on grade, High achievers are more creative on jobs, Employers seek skills more than grade, Good grade does not guarantee employability, Job creation is targeted at both high and low achievers are some of the factors to prove that academic excellence is not a yardstick for employability in Nigeria. The null hypotheses showed that no significant relationship exist in the mean responses of high and low achieving Business Education graduates in public tertiary institutions in Enugu State on the itemized variables. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that Attention should be shifted from academic excellence as yardstick for employability in Nigeria so that students are not pressured into dubious means just to graduate with high grades since findings of the study has shown that the both variables has no direct relationship. Employment opportunities should be massively created for all enough for both high and low academic performers since the findings of the study revealed that those with low academic performance can also have valuable skills capable of keeping them on the job for as long as they intend to.

Background: Acute myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle that manifests clinically with a spectrum of symptoms, ranging from mild chest pain to myocardial infarction. It can also be linked to viral or bacterial illnesses like pneumonia. Case summary: A 19-year-old male with no notable medical history reported to the Emergency Department with substernal chest pain radiating to the left arm, accompanied by nausea and profuse perspiration. His vital signs were stable and his physical examination was normal, with the exception of left lower chest crackles. The electrocardiogram revealed ST segment increase in inferior and lateral leads, along with ST depression in leads V1 through V3. A portable chest x-ray revealed a patchy opacity in the lower lobe of the left lung. Invasive coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries. Further evaluation with echocardiography and cardiac MRI revealed characteristics of acute myocarditis, including a minimally dilated LV and subtle hypokinesia in the midventricular inferior and lateral segments, as well as mild global hypokinesia in the LV and RV. Perimyocarditis was detected in the patient, and antiplatelet medication were terminated. Due to a low ejection fraction, Bisoprolol, Ramipril, and spironolactone were administered, and he was hospitalised until his intravenous treatments for pneumonia were completed. Further laboratory tests revealed a decrease in troponin T, white blood cell count, and C-reactive protein. He was discharged with medications including spironolactone, metoprolol, Ramipril, and colchicine. Unfortunately, he failed to comply with the directive. On the eighth day of hospitalisation, a discharge ECG revealed sinus rhythm with no ST-T alterations. Conclusion: When evaluating an acute cardiac event, healthcare practitioners should examine the possibility of uncommon bacterial myocarditis and keep in mind that Streptococcus pneumoniae infection might imitate acute MI in otherwise healthy young males. The timely diagnosis and administration of appropriate antibiotics are critical in the treatment of such conditions.

Background: In gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), risk prediction is mostly based on maternal history and clinical risk factors and may not optimally identify high risk pregnancies. Therefore, universal screening is widely recommended. Homocysteine levels during pregnancy in women with GDM have been studied; however, it remains unclear whether hyperhomocysteinemia is a useful predictor of GDM. Objective: To determine the association of serum homocysteine level in women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Methods: Case control study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Institute of Child and Mother Health (ICMH), Dhaka. Pregnant women in their 24 weeks to 40 weeks of gestation attended for antenatal care diagnosed as GDM was selected as cases. Non- diabetic pregnant women matching with cases by age and gestational age were selected as control in this study. GDM was diagnosed by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The serum homocysteine level of these patients was measured. Descriptive and inferential analysis was carried out using SPSS version 22.0. P-value less than 0.05 will be considered as statistically significant. Results: Among the cases fasting blood sugar (6.13 ± 0.66) and controls (4.60 ± 0.57). Similarly, 2 hours after 75 gm. glucose blood sugar among cases (8.46 ± 0.88) and controls (6.32 ± 0.96). Both results were statistically significant p=0.001. Majority of patients were at third trimester of pregnancy (67.0%). 37.5% were primigravida and 2.5% were multigravida. Mean gestational age of cases (30.25 ± 2.74) and controls (30.02 ± 3.03). Among the cases 62.1% had history of GDM where 37.9% don’t have history of GDM. Among control group only 7.7% had history of GDM. This result statistically significant p=0.001. 6.9% cases had history of macrocosmic child which was not statistically significant p=0.49. There was no history of still birth or other congenital defect. Mean serum homocysteine level among cases (6.50 ± 1.72) and controls (5.20 ± 1.87) which was statistically significant p=0.001. Positive correlation observed between maternal serum homocysteine level and maternal blood sugar (r=0.209, p=0.005) in this study. Respondents with high homocysteine level have 3.94 times more chance to develop GDM (OR=3.94; 95% CI = 1.59-9.77). Conclusion: Finding from the present study suggests that maternal elevated serum homocysteine level in pregnancy is significantly associated with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

Communication skills are among those of great significance for everyone in general and for students in particular. They are difficult to master, because when it comes to communication, there are countless circumstances that require skillful conduct. In fact, students in general and those from Hung Vuong University in particular have poor communication skills; the communication skills performance among the freshmen are still at low level (average level); many employers are saying that students lack them or have low level, etc. Hence, it is essential to study the current situation of training students on communication skills so that solutions for developing communication skills among students can be brought to light.

Objective: The study was carried out to evaluate the outcome of post placental COPPER T380 A insertion in women during caesarean section. Methods: A descriptive quasi-experimental study was carried out to evaluate the outcome of post-placental COPPER T380 A insertion in women during caesarean section. They were interviewed with a specific pre-designed questionnaire Results: The patients were asked to visit 1, 6 and 12 months after the insertion of COPPER T380 A to record the complaints during the follow-up period. It was found that only 2(1.33%) complaints of expulsion after 1 month of insertion and 1 (0.66%) after 6 months, and there was no complaint of expulsion at 12 months of follow-up. In case of PID, there were 3(2%) at 1 month, 1(0.66%) at 6 months and 1(0.66%) at 12 months follow up. The most frequent complaint was pain lower abdomen which accounted for 13 (8.67%), 12 (8.00%) and 8 (12.67%) at 1. 6 and 12 months of follow-up, respectively. The next common complaint was the vaginal discharge of 9 (6.00%) at 1 month, 8 (4.67%) at 6 months and 10 (6.67%) at 12 months of follow-up. No failure of COPPER T380 A insertion during cesarean section within 12 months of follow-up (No pregnancy within 12 months). Conclusion: Clients and providers can benefit from COPPER T380 A's high motivation, low risk of infection, and fast insertion speed when used after childbirth. The use of an intrauterine device as a form of birth control immediately after delivery has been shown to be effective and safe. Furthermore, considering the large number of puerperal who do not return for contraception, the use of a safe contraceptive method, provided quickly after delivery and before discharge from the hospital, is a far-reaching reproductive health strategy.
