SARS-CoV-2 related HIV, HBV, RSV, VZV, Enteric viruses, Influenza, DENV, S. aureus and TB co-infections

SARS-CoV-2 a virulent disease that established the entire wide world due to its severity. Its 1st case was rumored in Wuhan, China within the year 2019 and it had been the beginning of this pandemic. This virus killed virtually a complete of 4,465,683 folks round the globe until date. Despite the fact that viral co-infections have the ability to alter the host’s illness pattern, few research have looked at the disease outcomes in patients who are infected with HIV and hCoVs. Despite the fact that HIV-positive people can be infected with hCoVs, researchers are now revealing that their chances of acquiring serious CoV-related disorders are typically similar to what is seen in the general population. The relation between SARS-CoV-2 and HBV was summarized rather HBV effects the severity of COVID patient or not. SARS-CoV-2 could be a severe acute metabolic process syndrome. Scientists found ways in which to treat this virus, some were useful and alternative weren’t that a lot of effective. Immunizing agent was one among the most important considerations for the entire world. This virus conjointly fashioned an entry for alternative co-infections too. SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus, both causes respiratory diseases which confer as an extensive array of illness from asymptomatic or benign to critical disease and death. Also the mode of transmission and symptoms of influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 are same. Viral and bacterial rate is higher in SARS-CoV-2 negative patient but are comparable. Serologies facts confirmed that patients with effective results for dengue virus (DENV) NS1 antigen and anti-dengue IgM were also attentive to COVID-19 speedy antibody tests, suggesting dengue COVID-19 co-infection. Mixed infection of dengue and COVID-19 needs unique interest from all dengue-common nations in Asia, especially the ones with limited resources. To our knowledge, this is the primary showed case of co-infection of dengue and COVID-19 in Indonesia. During patient’s TB course, COVID-19 can occur at any time with worse consequences for the patients who are affected by active pulmonary disease.
Three Dimensional Numerical Analyses of Bridge Piled-Raft Foundation under Riverbed Erosion

From the 921 earthquake to the major typhoons, including the Morakot typhoon, they damaged original landscape of rivers in Taiwan. In recent years, it alleged that abutment bridge exposed to the most serious security problems. Because of bridge piers in addition to the face of long-term river erosion, the flood on the pier will produce localized erosion near the bridge. The pier will be due to inadequate bearing capacity, resulting in subsidence, displacement, bridge version accompanied by tilting and even caving. The river erosion of soil around the piers deposits and production of contraction will often reduce the bearing capacity. Therefore, how to accurately estimate the scour depth, calculate piers to withstand water impact and analyses its stability for preventing injuries in the first place is the current pressing issues. In this study, three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) analysis program Plaxis 3D foundation is used. Polaris second bridge is selected for analysis. Based on local scouring of the model and various numerical variable conditions, the parameter of bridge pier is studied.
A study of train dwelling time at the hong kong mass transit railway system

This paper investigates the relationship between the dwelling time of trains and the crowding situations at Mass Transit Railway (MTR) stations in Hong Kong. Regression models were established for the dwelling delays of trains due to congestion at stations, and a simulation model making use of the Monte-Carlo technique is developed to assess the reliability of the estimated train dwelling time. Therefore, the distribution and the confidence interval of the train dwelling time can be predicted on the basis of observed boarding and alighting distributions.
Glycemic control with four way model approach in rural area patients

Background: It is very important to keep the Glucose levels under control continuously and without any holidays. Type 2 diabetes is increasingly common in the industrialized world. Tight glycemic control attempts to rigidly glucose control levels (A1c: 6.5% -7.0% or lower). Maintaining tight glycemic control is lifesaving. Proper counselling, proper nutrition and if regular exercise is done it can result is good glycemic control.Methods: In the present study a total of 350 diabetic patients were selected out of which only 208 participants were eligible for study. Inclusion criteria in the study were 1) Age: men and women between age group 30 years to 70 years and 2) Type 2 Diabetes mellitus with HbA1c between 8 to 10%. Exclusion criteria in the study were 1) Type 1diabetes mellitus, Pre-existing renal, hepatic or cardiac disease, Hba1c >10%. A quadriad was established between patients, personal health worker, dietician and doctor.Results: Participants had regularly followed up and were divided randomly into cases (n = 112) and controls (n = 96). Patient were followed up as per study design it was observed that at the end of 3 months period mean FBS (case group 168.2±26.4 control group 200.8±38.3 p value <0.001) , Mean PPBS (case group 204.8±53.0 control group 271.0±45.5 p value <0.001) and Mean Hba1c (case group 8.7±0.5 control group 8.9±0.6 p value .003) in cases was significantly lower than control group.at the end 6 months it was observed that the mean cholesterol, mean triglyceride, mean LDL and mean VLDL was significantly lower in the cases compared to controls.Conclusions: A systematic approach and close monitoring that increased the adherence to medication, diet, and counselling would help in better glycemic control and prevent long term complication.
Human factors and behavioral science: Membrane keyboards and human performance

This paper describes systematic human factors research in which typing performance using a membrane keyboard and using a conventional, full-travel keyboard were compared for subjects representing different levels of typing proficiency. Membrane switch technology has become increasingly popular in many consumer-oriented products because of its low production cost and design flexibility. However, the absence of familiar key travel associated with membrane switches removes an important, direct source of feedback to the user with respect to specific keystrokes. Hence, the conventional wisdom has been that membrane switches without key travel are unacceptable for such keyboard applications as typing tasks. The results of the research discussed here indicate that for nontouch typists there was little difference in performance between keyboards. For touch typists, performance with the conventional keyboard was initially much better than with the membrane keyboard. Rapid learning resulted in improvement in typing performance with the membrane keyboard — both within an experimental session and across sessions — such that the advantage of the conventional keyboard over the membrane one for touch typists was reduced substantially, although not completely. Future work will be aimed at measurement of the additional improvement in performance that may result from extended practice with better-designed membrane keyboards.
Impact of different instruments metallurgy on Apical extrusion of debris and fracture resistance: A comparative invitro study

The purpose of this research was to compare apical debris extrusion and fracture resistance of teeth prepared with OneCurve, WaveOne Gold, or ProTaper Universal. Materials and Methods: Mandibular premolars were prepared with OneCurve, WaveOne Gold, or ProTaper Universal. In the experimental model, debris was recovered by apical section of the root washing with distilled water. The Eppendorf tubes were weighed after 15 days of storage to establish the overall weight of the tubes, including the extruded debris. The dry weight of the ejected material was then computed. After root canal obturation, the apical root ends were trapped in the acrylic up to 2 mm below the cementoenamel junction. The fracture force was calculated and given in Newtons. A one-way ANOVA test was used to compare more than two groups, followed by a Tukey post hoc test. The significance level was set at P≤ 0.05. Results: The results revealed a statistically significant difference in extruded debris between OneCurve, WaveOne Gold, and ProTaper Universal (P <0.05), as well as a statistically significant difference in the load required for vertical root fracture between the negative control and OneCurve, WaveOne Gold, and ProTaper Universal (P <0.05). Conclusion WaveOne Gold had the lowest weight value of debris extrusion, whereas ProTaper Universal had the most. Negative control had the highest load, followed by WaveOne gold and One Curve, and finally ProTaper Universal.
Inhomogeneous field breakdown in GIS-the prediction of breakdown probabilities and voltages. II. Ion density and statistical time lag

For pt.I see ibid., vol.3, no.3, p.923-30 (1988). An improved model for the calculation of statistical time lags in SF/sub 6/ insulated electrode arrangements for positive impulse voltage is presented. On the basis of physical considerations, the production rate of initial electrons is ascribed to the local density of negative SF/sub 6/ ions and to field dependent electron detachment. Values of negative ion densities are measured directly, while the detachment coefficient is determined by a fitting procedure to measurements of statistical time lags. >
The combined application of Quality Function Deployment and Pareto analysis for hotel services improvement

This paper discusses the combined application of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Pareto Analysis (PA) to hotel services. This paper improves the current quality management practices in a case study hotel. This results into increased customer patronage and improved hotel profit margin. PA is applied as a prioritisation tool for the purpose of financial investment decision. The study may be applicable to other hotels. It could also significantly affect the goodwill of the organisation as well as its profit margin. This paper is new, in that it appears to be the first application of Pareto cum QFD principles in hotel services, and a new way of prioritisation and quality improvement in hotels systems.
Generic Mechanism for Reducing Repetitions in Encoder-Decoder Models

Encoder-decoder models have been commonly used for many tasks such as machine translation and response generation. As previous research reported, these models suffer from generating redundant repetition. In this research, we propose a new mechanism for encoder-decoder models that estimates the semantic difference of a source sentence before and after being fed into the encoder-decoder model to capture the consistency between two sides. This mechanism helps reduce repeatedly generated tokens for a variety of tasks. Evaluation results on publicly available machine translation and response generation datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal.
Multi-Mode Switching Control of Networked Control System Based on Hidden Semi-Markov Model

This paper applies hidden semi-Markov model (HSMM) to estimate the network load states on the basis of time delay observations for multi-mode switching control of the NCS. The close-loop NCS with state feedback controller is modeled into a semi-Markov jump linear system (S-MJLS). Then the controllers corresponding to each mode are designed based on the stability theory of S-MJLS. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach in this paper.
SHORT TERM INFLUNCES OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC FERTILIZERS ON NITARATE CONTENT AND SQUASH PRODUCTION

A field experiment was conducted on a sandy soil for winter season 2004 at the Agricultural Experimental Station, Kalapshoo, Dakahlia governorate, to study the combined effects of different types of organic materials (Corn straw, FYM and Mix) with three levels of them i.e. without addition, 14 and 28 ton /fed and three levels of mineral nitrogen fertilizers were used in this study i.e. without addition, 300 and 600 kg (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 /fed. While potassium and phosphorus were added in two levels, P 1 K 1 =150 kg Ca (H 2 PO 4 ) 2 /fed + 50 kg K 2 SO 4 /fed and P 2 K 2 =300 kg Ca (H 2 PO 4 ) 2 /fed + 100 kg K 2 SO 4 /fed on plant content of nitrate and crop productivity. The treatments were arranged in a split split split plot design. The results obtained were as follows: The individual and combined treatments of organic matter and inorganic fertilizers gave significant increase in shoot, root, yields and fruit of squash plant. Concerning individual traits, there was significant increase in dry weight of shoot, root and fruit with adding FYM at the harvest. Whereas with organic levels it was noticeable that increase in dry weight of shoot, root and fruit with adding 28 ton.fed -1 organic manure. With increasing nitrogen fertilizer till double recommended doses. The combined effect of results show that, the combination of double recommended dose of N + 28 ton.fed -1 of FYM fertilization treatments gave significant increase in dry weight, and nitrate content. Concerning combined traits, there was a significant increase in fruit dry weight with adding 28 ton.fed -1 of organic manure + double recommended dose of nitrogen (N 2 ). Organic manure and inorganic fertilizers gave significant increases in nitrate and nitrite contents, the highest value of plant NO 3- content with adding 28 ton.fed -1 with double recommended doses of nitrogen fertilizer, the same influence of the farmer treatments was found with NO 2- content. So, it is recommended to add great amounts of organic and inorganic fertilizers to sandy soil for two benefits, firstly to give the plants their nutrients requirements, secondly to easies releasing nutrients in available forms through activating the decomposition process of organic matter. Also, we must be attentioned for vegetable crops and their contents of nitrate to prevent health hazard for human.
Early Gut Microbiota Colonisation of Premature Infants Fed with Breastmilk or Formula with or without Probiotics: A Cohort Study

Premature infants have a fragile ecology of the gut microbiota, which is associated with many health problems and may be influenced by formula versus breast feeding. The present study investigated differences in the process of gut microbiota colonisation in preterm infants fed with breastmilk or formula with or without probiotics before 12 weeks. This cohort study recruited 138 premature infants; 31 in the breastmilk (BM) group, 59 in the probiotics formula (PF) group and 48 in the non-probiotics formula (NPF) group, according to the feeding practice they received at birth. Gut bacterial composition was identified with 16S rRNA gene sequencing in faecal samples collected at 1 week, 6 weeks and 12 weeks after birth. The alpha diversity was higher in the PF group compared to the other groups at week 1 and 6 (both p < 0.01) but showed no difference at week 12. The beta diversity of the three groups showed a trend towards similarity at the first two stages (p < 0.001 and p = 0.009, respectively) and finally showed no difference at week 12. Canonical redundancy analysis showed that feeding type could explain the difference in gut microbiota composition at week one and six (both p < 0.01). At genus level, Bifidobacterium was enriched in the PF group, while the Enterococcus and Streptococcus was enriched in the NPF group. In summary, formula with probiotics feeding after birth can affect gut microbiota colonisation and lead to a bacterial community with less potential pathogens.
Graphical factorial surveys reveal the acceptability of wildlife observation at protected areas

Approaching large ungulates at protected areas is dangerous both for visitors and the animals. Nudging interventions can mitigate this issue, but conservationists need to be sure about which factors influence the acceptability of human-wildlife encounters, to design them. In summer 2018, we recruited a sample of visitors (n = 205) at the Gran Paradiso National Park (Italy). They evaluated the acceptability of 9 digitally modified pictures, depicting a group of visitors observing an alpine ibex (Capra ibex) close to a trail. Pictures were characterized in terms of group size and distance from the ibex. Observing ibexes was deemed to be acceptable if visitors were further than 25 meters from animals and when groups included less than 3 people. Approaching ibexes at 5 meters was always deemed to be unacceptable. Potential for Conflict Index (PCI) was constant across distance classes and it was generally low. Our findings indicate that visitors share normative beliefs about the optimal distance and group size, that should characterize encounters with large ungulates, when visiting the park. These normative beliefs are crystallized, because previous encounters with ibexes did not affect the evaluation of each scenario and because the PCI was constant and low. We believe that behavioral interventions aimed at promoting respectful and safe human-ibex interactions can be enforced in areas where this interaction is critical, mostly in form of panels on hiking trails introducing normative pressures on visitors and motivating them to comply with rules.
Host--Parasitoid Dynamics and Climate-Driven Range Shifts

Climate change has created new and evolving environmental conditions, impacting all species, including hosts and parasitoids. I therefore present integrodifference equation (IDE) models of host--parasitoid systems to model population dynamics in the context of climate-driven shifts in habitats. I describe and analyze two IDE models of host--parasitoid systems to determine criteria for coexistence of the host and parasitoid. Specifically, I determine the critical habitat speed, beyond which the parasitoid cannot survive. By comparing the results from two IDE models, I investigate the impacts of assumptions that reduce the system to a single-species model. I also compare critical speeds predicted by a spatially-implicit difference-equation model with critical speeds determined from numerical simulations of the IDE system. The spatially-implicit model uses approximations for the dominant eigenvalue of an integral operator. The classic methods to approximate the dominant eigenvalue for IDE systems do not perform well for asymmetric kernels, including those that are present in shifting-habitat IDE models. Therefore, I compare several methods for approximating dominant eigenvalues and ultimately conclude that geometric symmetrization and iterated geometric symmetrization give the best estimates of the parasitoid critical speed.
Increased sexual dimorphism in dense populations of Olive-backed Sunbirds on small islands: morphological niche contraction in females but not males

ABSTRACT Competition takes place not only between species but also within them. Intersexual competition for resources may increase sexual dimorphism in body size to minimise ecological niche overlap. Change in the level of sexual dimorphism in a species is a common feature of island radiations. This is often interpreted as ecological release from interspecific competitors absent from small islands, allowing niche expansion by both sexes of a dimorphic species. The Olive-backed Sunbird (Cinnyris jugularis) is a widespread island-colonising species found throughout the Indo-West Pacific. Here we investigate sexual dimorphism in morphological niche of Olive-backed Sunbird populations in South-east Sulawesi, Indonesia. We found decreased overlap in morphological niche between females and males on the species-depauperate Wakatobi Islands, in comparison to mainland Sulawesi and its larger continental islands, indicating greater sexual dimorphism on the small islands. This change in sexual dimorphism was associated with a decrease in the morphological niche hypervolume of females, but no change in males. Therefore there was no indication of expansion of morphological niche space in the absence of mainland competitors. These morphological differences were associated with the significantly higher population density of Wakatobi Olive-backed Sunbirds. Therefore this increased sexual dimorphism may serve to alleviate intraspecific competition for resources.
The effects of neoliberalism: Teachers’ experiences and ethical dilemmas to policy initiatives within vocational education and training in Australia

Neoliberal policy reforms have had a marked influence on nearly every aspect of education, including the enrolment practices employed by institutions, teaching and assessment practices, and even the outcomes for students and society. There is a widespread expectation that teachers should contribute to quality outcomes for students along with their moral/ethical development and character formation while at the same time behaving ethically in the currently challenging environment of the education sector, including the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector. However, this apparent pressure for maintaining quality education while simultaneously conforming to the ethicality of professional practices in the context of rapid policy changes of a neoliberal sort masks considerable controversy around the meaning of quality education with respect to both moral/ethical behaviour in education and the appropriate forms of practice that would constitute this area of education. A recent research project into the impact of the changing contemporary cultural context of VET on the creation of moral dilemmas facing VET teachers in their work has identified the VET teachers’ perspectives of the ethical dilemmas experienced, by identifying the tensions between competing values and the resulting interactions. The research design for the study drew primarily on exploratory and discursive interviews with 18 VET teachers in South-East Queensland, selected from those responding to a call for participation in the study. The study pointed to the value of dilemmas as constructs through which to generate knowledge of ethical conflicts arising from contextual changes in policy. Four drivers that they attributed to causing those dilemmas were identified: changing immigration rules, changing funding requirements, changing culture and philosophy of RTOs, and inadequate teacher preparation. In each of these respects, the ambitious business expectations engendered by neoliberal restructuring and reform in recent years can be seen as articulating or presupposing values pertaining to standards of practice and performance of the RTO, which in turn can be seen to compromise traditional norms associated with teacher professionalism. It is with these values and conflicts that we are concerned in this paper.
