1Department of Nursing, College of Health Sciences, Salale University, Fiche, Oromia, Ethiopia; 2Department of Midwifery, School of Nursing and Midwifery, College of Health and Medical Sciences, Haramaya University, Harar, Oromia, Ethiopia Background: Oral rehydration therapy reduces mortality and morbidity due to diarrheal diseases. However, Oral rehydration therapy remains to be underused worldwide and particularly in low-income countries. This study aims to assess the prevalence of oral rehydration therapy use during diarrheal episode and associated factors among mothers of under-five children visiting public health facilities in North Showa zone, Oromia region, Ethiopia. Methodology: Institutional based cross-sectional study design was employed for one month in June 2020. A structured interview administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were entered into EPI-info 3.5. 2 then transported to SPSS 21 version. Descriptive statistical analysis was done, and an association between dependent variables and independent variables were examined in logistic regression models. Results: The overall prevalence of oral rehydration therapy use during diarrheal episode was 51.5%. Maternal literacy [AOR= 2.175, 95% CI: (1.178, 4.015)], mothers occupation being farmer [AOR= 0.394, 95% CI: (0.203, 0.762)], post natal care visit [AOR= 2.565, 95% CI: (1.468, 4.480)] and good knowledge of oral rehydration therapy [AOR= 1.919, 95% CI: (1.132, 3.253)] were significantly associated with oral rehydration therapy use. Conclusion: In this study oral rehydration therapy use was moderate. Maternal literacy, good knowledge of oral rehydration therapy, maternal occupation being a farmer, and postnatal care visit were the independent predictors of oral rehydration therapy use. Therefore, programmers and stakeholders who are working on child health programs should design interventions that focus on factors deterring child oral rehydration therapy use during diarrheal episode morbidity and mortality.
The rate of salmonella spp. from healthy people in Ho Chi Minh city in 2018

Survey results of 226 stool samples from healthy people collected from four districts in Ho Minh city in 2018 (districts no. 1, 5, 8 and 9) showed that the number of people carrying Salmonella spp. was 12/226 (5.3%). Twelve fecal samples were positive for Salmonella spp. with 15 Salmonella spp. strains isolated. Three of them are S. Indiana (20.0%); S. Typhimurium, S. Rissen and S. Give. Each has two strains (13.3%): 1 strain has serotypes O: 1 and one strains has 9: 1.5 (6.7%). These Salmonella strains belong to the non-typhoid group (the group that causes diarrhea). The Salmonella spp. strains isolated have highest antibiotic resistance to ampicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol (80.0%); followed by sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (66.7%); nalidixic acid (40.0%); gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, kanamycin (26.7%). Strains resistant to the third generation cephalosporins were found (cefotaxime and ceftazidime). Three of these are resistant to both types of antibiotics (20.0%). No strains resistance to cefoxitin and cosfomycin were detected.
Assessing the Role of Interchange Reconnection in Forming Switchbacks

Abrupt deflections of the magnetic field in the solar wind, so called “switchbacks,” are frequently observed by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) during its first two orbits and are believed to play an important role in unveiling the nature of solar corona heating and solar wind acceleration in the inner heliosphere. Many attempts were made recently to understand the nature of switchbacks. However, the origin, propagation, and evolution of switchbacks are still under debate. In this study, we attempt to use the linear theory of Zank et al. to interpret the switchback observations. We select 96 simple one-humped switchback events during the first encounter of PSP and use a Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique to fit the observed magnetic field and plasma variables with the model predictions for each event. The chi-squared goodness-of-fit test is used to evaluate the fittings. We find that about 47.9% and 42.7% of the events are accepted as good fits below the 95% and 90% critical values, respectively. This statistical study validates the reliability of the linear theory of Zank et al. for a significant number of switchback events. The statistical analysis provides the most probable initial conditions for switchbacks generated by interchange reconnection, which provides insight into the environment at which interchange reconnection was occurring.
Laser-induced graphenization of textile yarn for wearable electronics application

The present paper deals with the selective laser writing of textile yarns in order to induce a conductive path useful for smart textiles application. The incident power of the laser induces a conversion of an aramid fiber surface into graphene-based conductive material with tunable electrical properties depending on the laser writing parameters. The physical-chemical properties of the resulting smart yarns have been intensively characterized by electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, electrical and mechanical investigations. The results confirm the few-layer graphene fingerprint of the written paths onto the textile yarn with suitable properties for their application into electronic textiles. Indeed, a yarn-shape strain sensor with excellent performance has been developed and characterized to demonstrate the potential application of the proposed technology to the wearable electronic field.
High school student difficulties in drawing the field lines for two magnets

We report the results of a study on high school student difficulties in drawing the magnetic field lines for two magnets facing each other. Student difficulties were investigated by means of a predict-observe-explain activity. Our data confirm some of the previous results from the educational research literature on student difficulties in drawing and interpreting field lines and shed some new light on students’ reasoning patterns. Specific difficulties for the case of two magnets with opposite poles facing each other are also identified.
COVID-19 Epidemic Prediction Model and Prevention and Control Analysis

COVID-19 infection was found in Wuhan area in early 2020. Because of the Data backlog in the initial period of Hubei province, it was not conducive to accurate establishment of the model. This article selected the number of diagnosed people in 40 districts and counties of Chongqing City near Hubei province for analysis and modeling. And the prediction model is divided into three stages. The first stage is the initial stage of prevention and control, and the virus transmission shows an exponential model growth. The second stage is the development period of prevention and control, the virus transmission shows a fluctuating state. In the third stage, which is in the mature stage of prevention and control, the virus spreads as a linear function. At the same time, the data curve of three stages and the reasons for its formation are analyzed. The laws revealed by this model have a certain theoretical basis for the prevention and control of new infectious diseases such as coronary pneumonia, which will have a certain guiding effect on the prevention and control of viruses in newly discovered countries and regions of the epidemic.
Experimental determination of the first Townsend ionization coefficient in mixtures of Ar and N2

Mixtures of Ar with N2 are relevant for many areas of plasma applications. In particular, modeling of atmospheric pressure plasma jets for biomedical applications requires precise knowledge of fundamental gas parameters such as the Townsend ionization coefficient α. This study determines α in mixtures of Ar with N2 in a dark non-self-sustaining Townsend discharge. The discharge current versus electrode spacing was measured in the absolute pressure range of 10–800 Torr and reduced electric field strength E/N range of 40–1000 Td. The density normalized ionization coefficient α/N increases with E/N and decreased with N2 content in the gas mixture. A good coincidence between measurements and calculations with Bolsig+ was observed. In case when N2 concentration was between 10% and 50% in the mixture, experimental results were 20%–30% lower than predicted by Bolsig+ calculations. The results of this work were compared with α/N determined in mixtures of He with up to 10% of N2
The service quality assessment in the banking services context

Quality assessment is an essential process of quality management in banking institutions; its effective development constitutes a dynamic element in the achievement of the basic principle of improvement, an essential objective as well, of quality management. This process has been studied by authors and institutions that have provided heterogeneous approaches to develop it. Thus, in this reflection article, using theoretical systematization as a methodology, the models described in the literature on the evaluation assessment of the quality of services and their contextualization to banking are exposed from a critical position, concluding that they are limited with respect to the need to develop this process from a systemic conception consistent with the total approach to quality, prevailing a perspective restricted to assessing the quality perceived by consumers and avoiding the determination of compliance with the requirements of other interested parties. In an effort to mitigate the situation mentioned above, emphasis is placed on the need to understand the process of assessing the quality of the banking service as the deployment of a systemic set of periodic operations, associated with obtaining and interpreting reliable and valid information on the degree of 1 Economist Engineer, Járkov University, Ukraine, Doctor on Economic Sciences, Universidad de Las Tunas, Cuba. 2 Economist Engineer, Járkov University, Ukraine, Doctor on Economic Sciences, Universidad de Las Habana, Cuba. 3 Education Degree, Instituto Superior Pedagógico “Pepito Tey”, Cuba, Doctor on Educational Sciences, Universidad de Ciencias Pedagógicas “José de la Luz y Caballero”, Cuba. 4 Psychology Degree, Universidad Central de Las Villas, Cuba, Doctor on Pedagogical Sciences, Universidad de Oriente, Cuba.

ANALYSIS OF THE METHYLENETETRAHYDROFOLATE REDUCTASE C 677 T GENE POLYMORPHISM AND SERUM LIPID LEVELS IN YOUNG INDIVIDUALS OF NORTHEAST MEXICO

Dyslipidemias are a group of plasma lipid disorders characterized by an increase in serum lipid levels (Bosomworth, 2013) related to the formation of atherogenic plaques in the vascular endothelium (Ahmed et al., 1998). Dyslipidemias are classified as secondary and primary. Secondary dyslipidemia has a multifactorial origin: drugs (retinoids, glucocorticoids, beta-blockers, antirretroviral therapy), diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism), a high-fat diet, and a sedentary lifestyle (Yanes, 2008), while primary dyslipidemia has a genetic predisposition (Fernández-Pardo et al. 2009) with mutations in genes associated with lipid metabolism, such as upstream stimulatory factor-1 (USF1) (Naukkarinen et al., 2005), apolipoprotein E2 (APOE2; Sun et al., 2016), a carbohydrate-response element binding protein known as MLX interacting protein like (MLXIPL; AguilarSalinas et al., 2016), apolipoprotein B (APOB; Harper and Jacobson, 2010; Zhang et al., 2010) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR; Yilmaz et al., 2003). The MTHFR gene is located in chromosome 1 (1p36.3) and encodes the enzyme related to folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12, and homocystein metabolism. MTHFR converts 5, 10-metylenetetrahydrofolate into 5-metyltetrahydrofolate, being a methyl donor that transforms homocystein into methionine and purines, and intervenes in S-adenosylmethionine biosynthesis (Neagos et al., 2012). The C677T single nucleotide polymorphism known as a thermolabile variant (Frosst et al., 1995) consisting of a cytosine to thymidine substitution at nucleotide position 677, causes the substitution of alanine for valine in the MTHFR enzyme, thus reducing enzyme activity (Bennouar et al., 2007) and increasing drug toxicity of methotrexate, metformin (Shaheen et al., 2006) and statins (León-Cachón et al., 2016). Many authors have reported that the homozygosity of the T allele is associated with multiple diseases such as epilepsy (Scher et al., 2011), schizophrenia (Moustafa et al., 2014), erectile dysfunction (Lombardo et al., 2010) and dyslipidemia (Rojas et al., 2008). In Mexico, dyslipidemias are very common because they are strongly linked to the obesity epidemic (NavarroHernández et al., 2015). In this study, we investigated the association of the MTHFR C677T (rs1801133) gene polymorphism and serum lipid profiles in a sample of young students from nor theast Mexico. We hypothesize that this polymorphism may influence lipids levels from a young age.
Headspace/GC–MS Analysis and Investigation of Antibacterial, Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activity of Essential Oils and Hydrolates from Rosmarinus officinalis L. and Lavandula angustifolia Miller

In this work, essential oils (EOs) and hydrolates (Hys) of Rosmarinus officinalis L. and Lavandula angustifolia Mill. , grown in Tuscany (Italy), were studied to describe their chemical composition and biological activities. The aromatic profile of the EOs liquid phase was carried out by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), while the volatile composition of vapor phase EOs and Hys was performed by headspace (HS)/GC–MS. The obtained results show that monoterpene hydrocarbons (71.5% and 89.5%) were the main compounds, followed by oxygenated monoterpenes (26.0% and 10.5%) in the liquid and vapor phase of R. officinalis EO, respectively. The oxygenated monoterpenes were the main components of L. angustifolia EO, reaching 86.9% in the liquid phase and 53.7% in the vapor phase. Regarding Hys, they consisted only of oxygenated monoterpenes, and 1,8-cineole (56.2%) and linalool (42.9%), were the main components of R. officinalis and L. officinalis Hys, respectively. Their cytotoxicity was investigated on an SHSY5Y neuroblastoma cell line by thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test, showing a notable effect of the EOs with a time-independent manner of activity and half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values quite similar for the two plant species (from 0.05% to 0.06% v/v for the three time points evaluated). A measurable activity of Hys was also obtained although with higher EC50 values. The antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli ATCC® 25922, Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC® 13525, Acinetobacter bohemicus DSM 102855 as Gram-negative bacteria and Kocuria marina DSM 16420, Bacillus cereus ATCC® 10876 as Gram-positive bacteria, was evaluated by the agar disk-diffusion method and the VPT (vapor phase test) to determinate the MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration) and the MBC (minimal bactericidal concentration) values. Both EOs possessed a high activity against all the bacterial strains with MIC values ranging from 0.19% to 3.13% v/v. Unlike EOs, Hys did not show an inhibition of the bacterial growth at the tested concentrations. Furthermore, antioxidant power was measured by 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt-based (ABTS•+) and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays, showing a remarkable ability to reduce radicals by both EOs; Hys were slightly less active. The findings highlighted that R. officinalis and L. angustifolia EOs and Hys have a chemical composition rich in bioactive molecules, which can exert different biological activities.

1Ambo University, College of Medicine and Health Science, School of Pharmacy, Ambo, Ethiopia; 2Jigjiga University, College of Medicine and Health Science, School of Medicine, Jigjiga, Ethiopia Objective: The high incidence and substantial morbidity and mortality associated with community-acquired pneumonia necessitate an accurate assessment and appropriate management of patients. This observational prospective study aimed to evaluate the physicians’ adherence to the Ethiopian Standard Treatment Guideline for assessment and an empiric antibiotic selection for Community-acquired pneumonia. Results: The study indicated that the pneumonia severity assessment tool, CURB-65 score, was never used. Of 141 patients referred to an admitting diagnosis of severe communityacquired pneumonia, only 50 were subsequently found to satisfy the guideline criteria, overdiagnosis of 41.9%. Large proportions of the participants (130, 60%) were prescribed antibiotics in the last three months. The most commonly prescribed single antibiotic was Ceftriaxone (47, 21.7%), while ceftriaxone plus azithromycin was the most common combination, 110 (50.7%). In general, the extent of non-adherence to the national guideline for the use of antibiotics was 36.4%. In conclusion, the use of CRB65 scores was uncommon in the study setting. Poor adherence to Ethiopian Standard Treatment Guideline regarding the decision of hospital admission (41.9%) and the antimicrobial selection (36.4%) was determined.
Observations of the turfgrass ant, Lasius neoniger Emery (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), in a managed turfgrass setting

OBSERVATIONS OF THE TURFGRASS ANT LASIUS NEONIGER EMERY (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE) IN A MANAGED TURFGRASS SETTING FEBRUARY, 2000 SEAN F. WERLE, B.S., UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND M.S., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Professor Patricia J. Vittum The turfgrass ant Lasius neoniger was studied along with other insects that occur in manicured turf. The ants were observed over several seasons using pitfall traps and soil core sampling to elucidate their vertical distribution and their distribution with regard to mowing height in manicured turf. A test of turfgrass ants’ response to pesticide application was also conducted. The ants were found to be an important presence in closely mowed areas of turf and were also seen to undergo seasonal vertical migration in the soil profile. Some evidence was seen of possible pesticide avoidance behavior. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.iv ABSTRACT.v LIST OF TABLES.vii LIST OF FIGURES. ix CHAPTER I. ANTS IN FINE TURF.1 II.
