This study aims to examine the relationship between physical readiness, emotional intelligence, and work discipline and the professional performance of police officers in the Gasum Sub-Directorate of Ditsamapta, Special Region of Yogyakarta. The research employed an ex post facto approach, with a sample of 40 police officers selected using a total sampling technique. The instruments used include: (1) a physical readiness test based on Decree No. Pol: Skep/984/XII/2004 (12-minute run, pull-ups, sit-ups, push-ups, shuttle run); (2) an emotional intelligence questionnaire with a KMO MSA value of 0.760, AVE of 0.760, and reliability of 0.927; (3) a work discipline questionnaire with an average t-value of 8.33 and reliability of 0.981; and (4) a professional performance questionnaire with factor loadings ≥ 0.40 and reliability of 0.70. Data were analyzed using prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity) and multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that: (1) there is a very strong and significant relationship between physical readiness and professional performance (R = 0.923; R² = 0.852); (2) emotional intelligence also has a very strong and significant relationship with professional performance (R = 0.971; R² = 0.943); (3) work discipline has a very strong relationship with professional performance (R = 0.984; R² = 0.968); and (4) collectively, the three variables have a significant relationship with professional performance (R = 0.989; R² = 0.978). It can be concluded that physical readiness, emotional intelligence, and work discipline are significantly related to professional performance, both individually and simultaneously.

Instagram poetry makes for a new and interesting genre, or rather a new sub-genre in literature according to Oliveira & Fazano (2020). In the radically transformed world of social media, poetic expression has also morphed into an emergent form. Instagram poetry democratizes the process of voice and allows poets to publish their poetry, and reach a greater audience with more of an impact. Pakistani poets are not far behind in incorporating this new form of poetry into their traditional modes of expression. Numerous young poets transpire on Instagram, incorporating their words into images to post on their feeds or in their stories. It becomes imperative to notice and hear these varied voices as well as examine and analyze their message. Bringing their poetry to the mainstream with the help of a thematic analysis, this study incorporates the Sociological Criticism theory to explore the prevalent themes. This study attempts to give Pakistani Instagram poets and their subjects the deserved exposure. Applying Belsey’s method of close reading Pakistani Instagram Poetry reveals some major themes across poems and a few minor themes that appear less often. One of the major and prominent themes, as revealed from the study, is the theme of ‘self-compassion’ with several minor themes under this larger ambit. A greater focus on self is possibly the new trend in the subgenre of Pakistani Instagram poetry but further comparative studies with Instagram poets of other nationalities need to be conducted to find out the most common themes in Instagram poetry worldwide.

Soot pollution, also known as black carbon, is a type of air pollution caused by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. In the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, it is a major environmental issue, largely due to the extensive oil and gas operations in the area. This abstract will discuss the causes, effects and potential solutions to soot pollution in the Niger Delta. The primary cause of soot pollution in the Niger Delta is the flaring of natural gas during oil extraction and production. The flaring of gas releases large amounts of black carbon into the air, along with other harmful pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. In addition, the use of old and poorly maintained diesel generators in the region contribute to the high levels of soot pollution. The effects of soot pollution in the Niger Delta are wide-ranging and severe. The most immediate impact is on human health, as exposure to black carbon can lead to respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and even premature death. Soot pollution also has detrimental effects on the environment, such as damaging vegetation and contributing to climate change. It has been estimated that soot pollution from gas flaring alone emits the equivalent of over 72 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. There are several potential solutions that could help reduce soot pollution in the Niger Delta. One approach is to reduce gas flaring by investing in infrastructure and technologies that capture and utilize the gas rather than burning it. This would not only decrease soot pollution, but also provide a valuable energy source for the local communities. Additionally, promoting the use of cleaner energy sources and enforcing stricter regulations on emissions from industrial activities could also help mitigate soot pollution. In conclusion, soot pollution in the Niger Delta is a significant problem with detrimental impacts on both human health and the environment. It is caused by the flaring of natural gas during oil extraction and production and has far-reaching effects. The key to addressing this issue is investing in cleaner technologies and promoting sustainable practices to reduce gas flaring and other sources of soot pollution in the region.

The ratification and domestication of international human rights instruments are used as indices to determine a state's commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights. The judge as part of the judiciary is one of the stakeholders to fulfil this task. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948 and the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, everyone has a role to play in the realisation of human rights. Everyone should respect the role of those who work for the protection of human rights, through an independent judiciary, who are impartial, neutral, and independent in the promotion and protection of human rights. Article 37(3) of the Cameroonian constitution of 1996 as amended provides for the independence of the judge which constitutes part of the judiciary. This is to the effect that the President of the Republic shall guarantee the independence of the Judiciary. He shall appoint members of the bench and the legal department. Nevertheless, judges are partially independent in their role in the promotion and protection of human rights. This raises issues such as contradiction, inconsistency, and difficulties for the judges to play in the promotion and protection of human rights. This article is based on the hypothetical premise that the role of the judges in the promotion and protection of human rights in Cameroon is ineffective. It seeks to examine the effectiveness of the role of judges in the promotion and protection of human rights. Adopting the Doctrinal and comparative research method, the paper concludes that under article 37(3) of the constitution, judges are partially independent in their role in the promotion and protection of human rights. It is submitted that the provision of Article 37(3) should be revisited to ensure the independence of the judiciary and judges in particular in the promotion and protection of human rights. In addition, the judiciary must undergo a paradigm shift from complacent and disturbing judicial inertia to judicial activism.

Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) type 3 is a rare genetic disorder characterized by impaired bicarbonate reabsorption in the proximal renal tubules, leading to metabolic acidosis. Here, we present a case of a 6-year-old male Saudi child who was diagnosed with RTA type 3 associated with carbonic anhydrase deficiency. The patient presented with symptoms of metabolic acidosis, electrolyte abnormalities, and a family history of renal tubular acidosis. Laboratory investigations revealed metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, and hypophosphatemia, consistent with the diagnosis of RTA type 3. Genetic testing confirmed the presence of mutations in the CA2 gene encoding carbonic anhydrase II, corroborating the diagnosis of carbonic anhydrase deficiency. The patient was managed with oral alkali supplementation and electrolyte replacement therapy to correct acidosis and restore electrolyte balance. This case underscores the importance of recognizing the rare association between RTA type 3 and carbonic anhydrase deficiency, highlighting the role of genetic testing in diagnosis and personalized management strategies for affected individuals. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms and optimize therapeutic interventions for this rare disorder.

Creating a positive and playful environment in pediatric dentistry is essential for fostering trust and easing young patients' anxieties. While female pediatric dentists in India are increasingly recognized for their nurturing approach, the smaller representation of male practitioners highlights an opportunity for growth. By adopting child-friendly techniques, such as playful communication, empathetic listening, and creative interactions, male pediatric dentists can effectively bridge the gap and break stereotypes. Embracing a "pookie" persona—a blend of professionalism and playfulness—allows male dentists to transform dental visits into enjoyable experiences, leaving lasting positive impressions on children. This review underscores the importance of combining technical expertise with emotional connection to ensure comprehensive pediatric dental care for male pediatric dentists.

Introduction: Rubella can pose serious risks to pregnant individuals, especially during the first trimester, as maternal infection may lead to congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). Despite ongoing vaccination efforts, cases of rubella infection persist among women of childbearing age. This study aims to assess rubella susceptibility, vaccination coverage, and associated risk factors among pregnant women at Al-Wazarat Healthcare Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted over 12 months, enrolling 300 pregnant women aged 18 to 45 years through convenience sampling. Demographic information, obstetric history, rubella vaccination status, prior infection, and laboratory data on rubella-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies were collected from medical records. Results: The mean age of participants was 32.0 years, and 134 (44.7%) had given birth five or more times. Overall, 252 (84%) reported having received a rubella vaccination, although 153 (51%) had unknown vaccination timing. IgM positivity (n=70; 23.3%) indicated recent infection, while 241 (80.3%) tested positive for IgG, suggesting prior exposure or successful immunization. Documented vaccination was significantly associated with lower infection rates (p=0.011), age (p=0.0001), and congenital abnormalities (p=0.004). Conclusion: Although vaccination uptake was high, recent infections and incomplete vaccination records highlight ongoing vulnerabilities to rubella and CRS. Improved immunization tracking, comprehensive antenatal screening, and targeted education for both patients and healthcare providers may reduce rubella susceptibility and safeguard maternal and child health.

The interplay between sleep quality and anxiety in adults has garnered significant attention in psychological and medical research, given the profound implications for mental health and overall well-being. This comprehensive review aims to elucidate the intricate relationship between these two constructs by analyzing current literature, integrating results from observational studies, randomized controlled trials, and meta-analyses. Poor sleep quality is often characterized by difficulties in initiating and maintaining sleep, reduced sleep duration, and non-restorative sleep. Such disturbances have been shown to exacerbate anxiety symptoms, contributing to a cyclical pattern where anxiety itself further impacts sleep quality. The review highlights various mechanisms underlying this relationship, including hyperarousal, rumination, and dysregulation of neurobiological pathways, such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Numerous studies indicate that individuals with anxiety disorders report significantly lower sleep quality compared to their non-anxious counterparts. Specific anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder, have been identified as particularly associated with sleep disturbances. Interventions targeting sleep, including cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and pharmacological treatments, are discussed in relation to their efficacy in alleviating anxiety symptoms and enhancing sleep quality. Moreover, the review addresses the potential bidirectional nature of the relationship, suggesting that not only can poor sleep contribute to increased anxiety, but anxiety may also lead to long-term alterations in sleep patterns. Implications for clinical practice are presented, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive assessments that incorporate both sleep and anxiety evaluations. Finally, the review identifies gaps in the existing literature and suggests directions for future research, including the need for longitudinal studies and investigations into the biological underpinnings of this relationship. By synthesizing current findings, this review contributes to a deeper understanding of the association between sleep quality and anxiety, aiming to inform effective interventions and promote better health outcomes in adults.

Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a frequent vascular pathology, especially in elderly males. Horseshoe kidney (HSK), the most common renal fusion anomaly, presents a surgical challenge when associated with AAA. We report a case of successful open repair of a juxtarenal AAA in a patient with HSK. Case Presentation: A 68-year-old male with hypertension, diabetes, and active smoking was diagnosed with a 60 mm juxtarenal AAA and horseshoe kidney during routine imaging. The patient underwent elective open repair via a retroperitoneal approach. A bifurcated aorto-bi-iliac graft was placed. The right renal artery was reimplanted, and an inferior polar artery was revascularized using a saphenous vein graft. Discussion: HSK complicates AAA surgery due to anomalous renal vasculature and anteriorly located isthmus. Open repair allows precise revascularization and direct access to the aorta. Renal preservation strategies are crucial to reduce postoperative complications. Conclusion: Open surgical repair remains a reliable option in AAA with HSK when renal revascularization is necessary. Thorough preoperative planning and tailored reconstruction are key to achieving optimal outcomes.
