This study analyzed the relationship between the conflicts encountered by the Police Non-Commissioned Officers (PNCO) and Police Commissioned Officers (PCOs) in a province in the Philippines and the conflict management styles of the latter. The descriptive-correlation research design was used in this study involving 153 PNCOs and 24 PCOs as respondents. The conflicts were categorized as Controversy, Conceptual, and Conflict of Interest. On the other hand, the management styles were compromise, competition, and collaboration. Based on the results of the study, the management style of the respondents based on the given situations of conflict resulted in the following: PCOs employed competition in resolving controversies while they used compromise in resolving conceptual conflicts and conflict of interest. The conflicts encountered were significantly correlated with the management style of the respondents in different situations of conflict such as controversy, conceptual, and conflict of interest.

Since the discovery and commencement of oil production in 1956 in the Niger Delta, the region has worsened in terms of security, poverty, and environmental pollution. The “Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND)” is among the insurgent groups that continue to cause havoc in the region. The Delta Niger area is infested with corruption, economic inequalities, lack of opportunities, political repression, nepotism, and so on. All these problems must be addressed equitably and promptly. If these issues are not resolved, they may cause security instability as well as insurgency. The insurgency in Niger Delta is a menace to Nigeria’s national and the stability of W. Africa and the U.S. interest. The paper brings out the history of the group, threat analysis, and recommendations on actions to be taken to mitigate the prospect of an attack.

The interaction of alogliptin benzoate with human serum albumin had been characterized under physiological conditions using multi-spectral methods and molecular docking technique. The work presented in this paper focused on the interaction mechanism, the conformational changes of HSA and the binding sites of alogliptin benzoate with human serum albumin. The binding distance, binding constants, the number of binding sites and the binding forces had been investigated through fluorescence and spectral overlaps. Results indicated the presence of static quenching between alogliptin benzoate and human serum albumin. Moreover, the van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding drove the binding process. The analysis results of UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence spectrometry, circular dichroism spectroscopy and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy revealed that alogliptin benzoate changed the conformation of human serum albumin. In addition, molecule docking and competitive experimental results suggested the binding sites located at IIA subdomain of human serum albumin. This research is vital to providing reference for studying the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics mechanisms of alogliptin benzoate.

To encourage college students to start their own businesses, entrepreneurship education must go first. In the entrepreneurship education of college students, we should first understand the motivation of college students to start their own businesses and the reasons why they do not want to start their own businesses, and then give targeted guidance and incentives. By classifying and summarizing the questionnaire survey data, this paper summarizes the main reasons why college students do not want to start their own businesses, as well as the main motivation for college students to start their own businesses, and carries out in-depth analysis, and finally gives targeted guidance and incentive measures for college students to start their own businesses.

Sanitation is deemed to be a human right. Improved sanitation service access is essential for every community’s socio-economic well-being and sustainable development. However, there has been limited research that has evaluated many current sanitation practices across various areas in Ethiopia. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to assess the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6.2 in Ethiopia, concerning major challenges and opportunities available towards achieving SDG targets. The data used to evaluate this review was obtained from WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) report, Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey (EDHS) data, and scientific journal publications stemming mostly from the last decade, to show the research results on water and sanitation, particularly SDGs 6.2 prospects and challenges to provide a general outlook for policymakers in Ethiopia. As a result, this paper analyzed that even though Ethiopia had substantial progress in improving sanitation facilities in the past decades; its coverage is still one of the lowest throughout the globe. Currently, nearly 70 million people (out of about 115 million people) are using unimproved sanitation facilities in Ethiopia. The main reasons for this lowest achievement are as follows: Firstly, sanitation doesn’t have a specific organizational “home,” implying that roles are disseminated across many sectors. Secondly, the amount of money allocated to the sector is low, and liquid waste disposal facilities are almost non-existent. Thirdly, the sanitation strategy’s implementation is not straightforward. Given the existing state of knowledge, the most important strategies needed to tackle the multilateral problem in Ethiopia will be defining specifically identified institutional accountability, capacity building and awareness creation, clear sanitation resource allocation and sustainable sanitation approach concerned with the protection of the environment. The analysis of challenges and opportunities for sanitation services in Ethiopia might be useful for the improvement of SDG 6.2 in other developing countries.

This article is a continuation of the study of the dose load received by an interventional cardiologist during angiographic procedures and particularly during RCA stenting. To calculate the dose load, dosimetric measurements of the effective dose were carried out while working with a Philips Allura Xper FD10 angiographic system in the invasive department of the Special Hospital for Active Treatment in Cardiology, Varna, Bulgaria. The measurements were carried out for the two operating modes of the angiographic system—radio- graphy and pulse fluoroscopy. In order to obtain a clear assessment of the received dose of the principal cardiologist, the measurements were carried out for three positions of the patient table—zero, lowest and highest position, as well as for three control points: “Head”, “Gonads”, “Feet”. In this procedure following projections are used: LAO-cranial—as first basic projection, RAO- cranial—as second basic and Pure Сranial—as third basic projection. For this reason, calculations have been made for each of these projections. The results convincingly show maximum dose load when radiography is used, although the duration of radiography is significantly shorter than the duration of pulse fluoroscopy. A concluded that the position of the patient table is important during the work of the principal cardiologist and the use of individual radiation protection equipment is not only recommended, but should be mandatory, as indicated in both Bulgarian and international legislation.
这篇文章是对介入心脏病专家在血管造影过程中接受的剂量负荷的研究的延续,特别是在RCA支架置入期间。为了计算剂量负荷,在保加利亚瓦尔纳积极治疗心脏病专科医院的侵入科使用Philips Allura Xper FD10血管造影系统对有效剂量进行了剂量学测量。测量进行了两种操作模式的血管造影系统-射线成像和脉冲透视。为了获得对主要心脏病专家接受剂量的明确评估,对患者表零、最低和最高位置的三个位置以及三个控制点:“头”、“性腺”、“脚”进行了测量。在这个过程中使用以下投影:lao -颅-作为第一基本投影,RAO-颅-作为第二基本投影,Pure Сranial-as第三基本投影。因此,对每一项预测都进行了计算。结果令人信服地显示最大剂量负荷时,使用放射照相,虽然放射照相的持续时间明显短于脉冲透视的持续时间。A的结论是,在主要心脏病专家的工作中,病人桌子的位置很重要,正如保加利亚和国际立法所指出的那样,不仅建议使用个人辐射防护设备,而且应该是强制性的。

Background and aim: Brain trauma and various neurological disorders represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. But data relating to this in sub-Saharan Africa is scarce. The aim of the study is to identify traumatic pathologies by CT scan in patients followed in hospitals in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. Methods: descriptive cross-sectional study of data from the medical records of patients having performed a brain CT scan covering a period of 24 months at the University Clinics of Kinshasa and at the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital. There are three types of study parameters, those relating to socio-demographic data (age, sex, date of the CT scan); those relating to the clinical data and the indications for the examination and the CT data. Results: 746 presented trauma assessment against 2433 patients for a non-traumatic indication. The mean age was 47.1 ± 20.9 years. There was a statistically significant and unequal distribution of the proportions of indications for brain scan according to age groups: the age group < 40 years coinciding exclusively in the traumatic assessment against non-traumatic indications for patients ≥ 60 years of age. Of the many traumatic injuries seen on a brain scan, bone fractures, intracranial hematomas and brain contusions were the most common injuries. Conclusion: traumatic lesions on CT are frequent in Kinshasa; they are characterized by the presence of bone fractures, intracranial hematomas and cerebral contusions.
