Most hospital staff nurses' work schedules extend beyond the typical 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday workday, to provide continuous nursing care to patients. Simultaneously, most hospitals in the United Counties exclusively use 12-hour shifts. Thus, staff nurses who work overtime may work more than 12 hours within 24 hours and return to work quickly without sufficient rest and sleep. Nurses' fatigue may continue the following work regardless of regular or overtime shifts. Working overtime among nurses is a prevalent practice used to control chronic understaffing and a standard method used to handle normal patient census variations. According to the 2004 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses (NSSRN), more than 40% of Kenya registered community health nurses (KRCHN) worked more than 40 hours per week [21]. According to the ministry of health, fifty-four percent of the respondents to the 2018 NSSRN worked more than 39 hours per week in their principal nursing position (2010). The purpose of this study was two-fold. The first step was to examine the relationship between mandatory nurse overtime regulations and nurse injuries and adverse patient events. The second step was to assess the mediating effect of nurse overtime on the relationship between the regulations and outcomes after controlling for other nurse work characteristics. A cross-sectional design was used, incorporating data from staff RNs working in hospitals in two counties (Kakamega & Bungoma). A sample size above 250 is suggested by Cohen's guidelines [13]. SPSS version 22.0 and Stata version 10 were used for the data analysis. Univariate, descriptive statistical analyses were conducted to examine the sample characteristics; 15.6% of RNs worked mandatory overtime (either paid or unpaid) while 34.1% worked voluntary overtime (either paid or unpaid) in a typical week. In the current study, the associations between mandatory overtime regulations and nurse and patient outcomes among a sample of 173 nurses in Kakamega and Bungoma were examined. Findings indicated that mandatory nurse overtime regulation did not have any association with nurse injuries. On the other hand, there were statistically significant associations found between the regulations and adverse patient events. The findings of this study should be viewed with the following limitations in mind. Even though the sample was selected randomly to represent the population in both Counties, and the Dillman Tailored Design Method with three survey mailings and reminder postcards was used in an attempt to increase the response rate and to recruit a sufficient sample to ensure the statistical power, the final response rate was 29.8% (226 RNs). Given this response rate, it is impossible to generalize the study findings due to the potential for self-selection bias among respondents. This study did not find any relationship between mandatory overtime regulations and nurses' overtime hours. As a result, although there were significant relationships between the regulation and adverse patient events, the regulations did not impact patient outcomes. Mandatory overtime regulations were not related to nursing injuries.

Education in the 21st century where information technology can become the basis of information in the world of education, so it requires teachers and students to be critical and creative. Science learning cannot be separated from 21st century skills known as 4C skills (Creativity Thinking, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Collaboration). The problem faced by researchers as science teachers is the lack of 4C skills of 9th grade students, especially on the topic of electricity resulting in low learning outcomes of students. The solution to fix these problems, the teacher applies learning using the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model with the help of a device or cellphone. Given that almost all students already have this device. This research is a classroom action research (PTK) with two cycles, each cycle consisting of two meetings. Based on the research results it can be concluded that 4C skills, namely Creativity Thinking in the first cycle an average of 85% and the second cycle of 96.25%. Critical Thinking in the first cycle an average of 86.75% and the second cycle of 98%. Communication the first cycle average of 89% and the second cycle of 98.50%. Collaboration average for the first cycle was 84.75% and the second cycle was 97.50%. The learning outcomes of students in the first cycle of learning completeness were 70.97%, while in the second cycle it was 90.32%. There are still three students who have not finished receiving remedials. Learning using the CPS learning model with device assistance gets a positive response from all students.

This study aims to describe the strategy for developing the potential for tourism areas through a bottom up planning approach in the Angsana District, Tanah Bumbu Regency. A qualitative approach is used to collect and analyze data in the form of words and human actions regarding the strategy for developing the potential of the tourism area through the bottom up planning approach that has been obtained. The research informants consisted of the Youth, Sports and Tourism Office of Tanah Bumbu Regency, the Head of Angsana Village and village officials, and the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis). The data sources used are primary data and secondary data. Primary data is data obtained directly from informants at the research location. Secondary data in this study were obtained from notes, articles, internet and scientific writings related to the strategy to develop the potential for tourism areas through a bottom up planning approach in the Angsana district, Tanah Bumbu Regency. The data collection technique was carried out in three steps, namely: observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the implementation of the development of the potential for tourism areas through the bottom up planning approach in the Angsana district, Tanah Bumbu Regency was still not effective. This can be seen from the uneven implementation of policies that have been made, because not all development programs have been implemented well. Apart from that, the limited infrastructure also creates separate obstacles such as the availability of toilets. The still low participation and creativity of the community in making the tourism sector one of the drivers of the regional economy and budget constraints both in villages and in the district and the absence of a master plan as a guideline in the long term are also constraining factors.

It is a prospective study done between 2010 to till date on 1123 thyroid lesions to estimate the incidence of medullary carcinoma of thyroid. Fine-needle aspiration (FNAC) was the initial diagnostic procedure to evaluate thyroid lesions. This study correlates FNAC cytology results with clinical, radiological and histopathological findings. Repeat FNAC and Ultrasound guided FNAC was done for inadequate samples and for difficult to palpate lesions. Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a hormone-producing malignant tumor that synthesizes calcitonin. MTC can be Sporadic or Familial. MTC is suspected after physical examination by measuring plasma calcitonin. For a positive diagnosis, histopathological confirmation is required. The extent of the tumor and the presence of metastatic spread are determined by using ultrasonography (USG), Computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A ims and objectives: To study the Incidence, cytological, histopathological and clinical correlation of medullary carcinoma of thyroid and to confirm the previous findings mentioned in the literature and to find any other additional findings from the histological and cytological view. To show the unique nature, rarity, and associations of medullary carcinoma. Marterials and methods: This study was conducted in the department of pathology in Mamata Academy of medical sciences Hyderabad and Mamata medical college.

Decolourisation of wastewater, particularly from textile industries is one of the major environmental concerns these days. The limitations of most of these treatment methods are their high operational and maintenance costs cannot effectively be used to treat wide range of such wastewater. This work describes the use of kaolinite clay as an efficient adsorbent material for anionic azo dye methyl orange removal from synthesized wastewater. Batch adsorption experiment of 200 mgL-1 azo dye methyl orange contaminant removal using kaolinite clay at different stirring speed: 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 rpm at constant pH4 and contact time of (0 ‒ 180) minutes were investigated, thus, adsorption increases with increase in stirring speed with maximum removal of 69.90% and maximum adsorptive capacity of 3.476 mg/g at 500 rpm. The adsorption equilibrium data were well described by Langmuir>Freundlich>Koble-Corrigan whilst adsorption kinetic data by pseudo second-order>pseudo first-order>intraparticle diffusion>Reichenberg equation in the stated order based on high correlation coefficients and relatively small values of error function analyses (χ2, RMSE, NSD and ARE). The adsorption processes were controlled by chemisorption. The potential applicability of Alkaleri kaolinite clay from Northeast-Nigeria could be employed as a low-cost adsorbent alternative to commercial/activated carbon in the removal of azo dye methyl orange from wastewater.

Several studies about the medicinal plants provide the evidences about the chemical compounds found in onions. These compounds included the catechole as well as ferulic acids, quercetin and kaempferol. The efficiency of the kaempferol has maximum as compared to the quercetin to inhibit the growth of the B.cereus. The antimicrobial activity of the plants has been precisely studied in the experimental investigations. The ultimate goal of all chemicals obtaining from the plants to target the major groups of the bacteria that causes diseases in human body, fishes and also other animals. There are certain gaps in literature about the different activities of the extracts of the onion. The antimicrobial activity of the onion extract remains unclear because of different microbes such as E.coli and S.aureus showing the resistance against the particular compound. Several relevant data and other research based studies showed comprehensive relationship to the antimicrobial activity of the onions in vitro against the different types of the microbes that causes different diseases such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella shigella, Vibrio cholera and Staphylococcus aureus. Quercetin and its related compounds possess the sulphur as a functional group. So, onions broadly used to treat the medical related disease in such a way that less side effected products obtaining from the plant in comparison to the industry that completely synthesized the products chemically and hence has more side effects.

Global developments and trends are one of the factors that greatly influence the dynamics of regional security. The issue of regional security is still covered by potential conflicts, such as territorial sovereignty claims, transnational security threats, interstate conflicts based on territorial claims and maritime security. The research is a normative-juridical research, using a statute, conceptual and case approaches. The results show that the unilateral claim of Indonesia for delimiting sea boundaries with neighboring countries is an act that has legal legality, because it is done based on the provisions of the convention. The construction of dispute resolution over overlapping claims on the borders of Indonesia’ maritime territory with neighboring countries, it can be concluded that the determination of delimitation of sea territory between archipelagic countries such as Indonesia and coastal States must provide a just solution for countries. In determining the delimitation of sea boundaries between archipelagic countries such as Indonesia and neighboring countries, it must be based on the fairness principle by considering political, legal and technical aspects to achieve an equitable solution while still considers special or relevant circumstances.

The continuous negligence of gendered and personified rights to daily life discloses the limits of the right to the city. Like other developing countries, absence of safety measures averts women from participating in various activities in the cities of Pakistan. Public transport, walking, and accessibility still disproportionally impact females. This research study points out the techniques of considering spaces that ultimately give attention to integrated spatial setting accommodating both genders. The paper also highlights the existing practices adopted by Government of Pakistan and recommends to plan and design safer public places for females with features that improve security of women of all age groups. The findings of the paper shall help the government departments and decision makers in spreading consciousness among the general public on the proposed and implemented action plans to develop a secure, safer and women-friendly city.
