COVID-19 pneumonia in children presents with very mild symptoms through an entity of multisystem inflammatory syndrome and can result in a life-threatening hyperinflammatory condition, with involvement of at least four organ systems and a marked inflammatory state. We present an 18-year-old high school student who presented with a sore throat, macular rash, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fevers, and joint pains. He presented with acute kidney injury and confusion with multiple tests and was eventually diagnosed with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).
Effects of Intergroup Communication on Intergroup Anxiety and Prejudice through Single Sessions of Peer Counseling in Online Settings

Counseling represents a form of intergroup communication that could theoretically lead to less intergroup anxiety and prejudice but represents a form of intergroup contact that has not previously been studied. Two hundred and ninety-two undergraduate college students were recruited to participate in a single 30-minute peer counseling session with either a White, an Asian, or an African American counselor. Participants were randomly assigned to either in-group or out-group counselors. Results indicated that intergroup communication in counseling significantly reduced participants’ racial intergroup anxiety although the findings for prejudice were less uniform. This study not only extends research on intergroup contact theory but also provides a practical tool to improve intergroup outcomes by developing a peer counseling mental health intervention.
im-Relationship among specific bacterial counts and total bacterial and somatic cell counts and factors influencing their variation in ovine bulk tank milk

To analyze the relationship among the counts of different organisms and total bacterial count (BTTBC) and somatic cell count (BTSCC) as determined in dairy laboratories in ovine bulk tank milk, 751 bulk tank milk samples from 205 dairy sheep flocks belonging to Consortium for Ovine Promotion (CPO) were collected between January and December 2011. Four samplings were carried out in each flock, once per season, throughout 1 yr. Variables analyzed were bulk tank counts of thermoduric, psychrotrophic, coliform, and gram-positive catalase-negative cocci (GPCNC) bacterial groups. Thermoduric, psychrotrophic, and coliform species were significantly related to BTTBC, whereas GPCNC were correlated with both BTTBC and BTSCC variables. Highest counts were for psy-chrotroph and coliform groups, and a moderate to high correlation (r = 0.51) was found between both variables, indicating that poor cleaning practices in the flocks tend to select for less-resistant organisms, such as gram-negative rods. In addition, BTTBC correlated with BTSCC (r = 0.42). Some variation factors for specific bacterial counts, such as breed, season, milking type, dry therapy, and milk yield, were also analyzed. Flock information was collected from flock books, annual audits, and the CPO traceability sys-tem. Psychrotrophs and coliforms had elevated counts in winter, whereas GPCNC were higher in summer and in hand-milked flocks. Dry therapy contributed to the reduction in psychrotrophic bacteria; therefore, some strains of mammary pathogens could also be psychro-trophic bacteria. Results of this study would be helpful for troubleshooting milk quality problems and developing premium payment systems in dairy sheep.
ENDOVASCULAR MANAGEMENT OF INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSMS -VARIOUS METHODS, EFFICACY AND COMPLICATIONS

Background: Spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) accounts for 3-5% of all acute strokes, with 80% caused by ruptured intracranial saccular aneurysms. The risk increases with age and peaks between 40-60 years, and early identification and treatment can prevent rupture. The aim was to study the safety and efficacy of endovascular management of intracranial aneurysms and the various hardware used to observe procedural and immediate postprocedural complications and their management. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 30 patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage at the Government Medical College, Nagpur, between December 2016 and November 2018. Demographic data and blood investigations, including CBC, KFT, LFT, PT/INR, HIV, HBsAg, and anti-HCV, were collected. The modified Fischer grade of subarachnoid haemorrhage and the modified WFNS scale were assessed for each patient. Result: Of the 30 patients, the most common age group was above 50-60, and the mean age was 55.26±9.43 years. The major procedural and postprocedural complications noted were aneurysm rupture, coil migration, and thromboembolic phenomenon (infarction). No significant association was found between vessel size, neck dimensions, and lobulation (p=0.130, p=0.658, and p=0.184, respectively). The time required for balloon-assisted coiling is significantly longer than for simple coiling. The mean operative time was not significantly associated with the risk of complications. Higher WFNS and modified Fischer scores were associated with poor outcomes (p=0.002 and p=0.008, respectively). Conclusion: The study found that Endovascular coiling is an effective and safe method for preventing rebleeding from intracranial aneurysms, with a survival rate of 93.4% at six months, despite the associated risks.
Impacts of selective logging on tropical-forest butterflies of Borneo

Commercial, selective logging is a major cause of habitat disturbance in Southeast Asian rainforests, yet despite much research there is little consensus on the impacts of disturbance on biodiversity. I used fruit-baited traps to sample Nymphalid butterflies from primary forest and forest selectively logged 15 years previously in Danum Valley, Sabah (Malaysian Borneo) for a 1 0-month period between April 2003 and December 2004. I sampled 1280 individuals from 61 species from 30 traps along 2 km linear transects and 2244 individuals from 62 species from 25 traps on ::::::80 ha square grids in primary and selectively-logged forest. I found that long term (5-month) and large spatial-scale (transects > 1.6 km) samples were needed in order to detect a significant decline in diversity following disturbance. I showed that sampling canopy fauna was important for producing species inventories but not for detecting changes in species conservation value between habitats. I found higher a and {3 diversity in primary forest compared with selectivelylogged forest. Differences in a diversity between habitats were dependent on the spatial scale at which data were analysed because a diversity increased with spatial scale at a significantly faster rate in primary forest compared with selectively-logged forest. This reflected higher vegetation heterogeneity in primary forest compared with selectivelylogged forest. Measures of a diversity were spatially autocorrelated in primary forest, and {3 diversity between samples was distance-dependent in primary forest, but not in selectivelylogged forest. These spatial patterns of a and {3 diversity reflected patterns of vegetation structure. Selectively-logged forest contained species with higher light tolerance and some evidence suggested wider geographical ranges and thus, lower conservation value than primary forest. I conclude that as spatial patterns of diversity change following disturbance, conservationists need to be aware that the placement of their traps and the spatial scale of their study may largely predetermine their results.
OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY: APPLIED BUSINESS AND EDUCATION

This research is focused on the perceptions of the pre-service teachers’ Professional Identity Development (PID). The respondents included 16 pre-service teachers from a private teacher education institution. It employed a descriptive narrative design with the qualitative method of collecting data using interview questionnaire and focus group discussion guideline as instruments. The findings showed all the shared experiences were perceived to be contributory to the development of the professional identity of the Pre-service Teachers (PTs) in the competencies stipulated in the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST). Results of the interview done individually and as a group revealed how PTs perceived their professional identity development, which is essentially like the competencies of Stage 1 (Beginning Teacher). These include 1) Exhibiting mastery of concepts and pedagogy; 2) Effectiveness in communicating concepts; 3) Proficiency in information and communication technology (ICT) utilization; 4) Creating safe and conducive learning environment (classroom management); 5) Flexibility with the diverse learners; 6) Efficiency in lesson planning; 7) Consistency in reporting and monitoring learners’ progress; 8) Actively collaborating with colleagues and participating in the school community; and 9) Pursuing of continuous professional development. It proposes up-skilling and re-skilling of pre-service teachers which will all lead to the formation of a competent beginning teacher in the 21st century.
The genetic basis of host choice and resting behavior 1 in the major African malaria vector, Anopheles 2 arabiensis 3

3 arabiensis is now the only remaining vector in areas where coverage with Long Lasting 63 Insecticide Treated Nets is high. We sought to assess the potential for An. arabiensis to 64 adapt its behavior to avoid control measures by investigating the genetic basis for its 65 host choice and resting behavior. Blood fed An. arabiensis were collected resting 66 indoors and outdoors in the Kilombero Valley, Tanzania. We sequenced a total of 48 67 genomes representing 4 phenotypes (human or cow fed, resting in or outdoors) and 68 tested for a genetic basis for each phenotype. Genomic analysis followed up by 69 application of a novel molecular karyotyping assay revealed a relationship between An. 70 arabiensis that fed on cattle and the standard arrangement of the 3Ra inversion. This 71 indicates that the host choice behavior of An. arabiensis has has a substantial genetic 72 component. Validation with controlled host preference assays comparing individuals 73 with the standard and inverted arrangement of 3Ra is still needed
Al-Azhar University Journal for Virus Research and Studies Serum Ferritin Levels in Pregnant Women with Preterm and Term Deliveries

The measuring serum ferritin level as a sensitive inflammatory biomarker might effectively predict preterm delivery, but the power and the best cut-off point of this biomarker for predicting preterm labor in Egyptian population has not been substantially identified. This study aimed to evaluate serum ferritin levels in women with preterm and term delivery. This case control study was conducted on 90 gravid females who allocated into 2 groups: Group A: It comprised 60 cases with labor pain registered into 4 groups with a GA of 24 to 30 weeks, 30 to 34 weeks, 34 to 37 weeks, and >37 weeks (study group) and Group B: It included 30 cases who were in comparable GAs (control group) at Obstetrics and gynecology dep. at Al-Zahraa University hospitals. In this table, in preterm deliveries, ferritin levels were significantly higher ( P < 0.05) in patients with PROM or a prolonged leakage; however, in term deliveries, there was no significant difference in ferritin level between patients with and without PROM or a prolonged leakage. In addition, ferritin levels were significantly higher in preterm deliveries than term deliveries in patients with PROM or a prolonged leakage (p<0.001). ROC-curve showed that the cutoff value of s-ferritin was 37.5 ng/ml with 79.5% and 84.3% sensitivity and specificity resp. for pre-and in-term delivery groups. The findings of the present study showed that serum ferritin level can be used to find patients at risk of preterm delivery.
The Cementoenamel Junction: Gap, Overlay and Edge to Edge Relationships

The purpose of this research is to examine mineralized tissue relationships at the cementoenameljunction in the maxillary central incisor and the mandibular canine. There are three distinct relationships at the cervical region of the tooth: a gap junction is when the cementum and enamel fail to connect, an edge-to-edge when the cementum and enamel meet and an overlay when the cementum extends on to the enamel. There are four main research questions that have been addressed in this investigation; 1) Can a type of junction be correlated to racial affinity? 2) Is there a relationship between sex and junction type? 3) Is there a significant difference between adults and children? 4) Does dental hygiene or exposure to the oral cavity cause changes or damage to this structure? Population samples were utilized from a modem, historic and prehistoric time periods to address the above questions. Thin sections were analyzed at a magnification of 125X. The results verified a strong relationship between racial affinity and junction type. Sex was correlated to junction type on the labial surface of the canine only, while age and junction type showed positive statistical results for the both labial and lingual incisor. Dental hygiene and exposure ( via age) to the oral cavity does not seem to result in a significant change at the cervical margin of the tooth. The goal of this research was to aid physical/forensic anthropologist in determining a biological profile of unknown individuals.
The Effect of Red Spinach Juice + Fe Tablets on Increased Hemoglobin Levels in Pregnant Women

: Anemia during pregnancy is one of the most common abnormalities in pregnant women in Indonesia. The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia is 48.9%. The iron supplementation program is an effort that has been made by the Indonesian government to prevent anemia. To determine the effect of giving red spinach juice on increasing hemoglobin levels in third-trimester pregnant women. This type of research uses quantitative methods with quasi-experimental research with the two-group approach. The experimental group consumed red spinach juice + Fe tablets and the control group only drank Fe tablets. The results showed that there was an effect of giving red spinach juice + Fe tablets to increasing hemoglobin levels and there was a difference in increasing hemoglobin levels in the group given red spinach juice + Fe tablets and Fe tablets only. There is a relationship between parity and an increase in hemoglobin levels, but there is no relationship between age and education and an increase in hemoglobin levels. Intervention and parity variables were the most influential variables in increasing the hemoglobin level of pregnant women in PMB Bengkulu City. Results: There is an effect of giving red spinach juice + Fe tablets to the increase in hemoglobin levels of pregnant women.
A Coupled-Mode, Fully-dispersive, Weakly-nonlinear Model For Water Waves Over a General Bathymetry

In this paper a coupled-mode system of horizontal equations is derived with the aid of Luke’s (1967) variational principle, which models the evolution of nonlinear water waves in intermediate depth over a general bathymetry. The vertical structure of the wave field is exactly represented by means of a local-mode series expansion of the wave potential, Athanassoulis & Belibassakis (2000). This series contains the usual propagating and evanescent modes, plus two additional modes, enabling to consistently treat the non-vertical end-conditions at the free-surface and the bottom boundaries. The system fully accounts for the effects of non-linearity and dispersion. In the present work the fully nonlinear coupled-mode system is simplified keeping only up to second-order terms, and the derived weakly non-linear model is applied to water waves propagating over a flat bottom and over an arbitrary bathymetry, in the time and in the frequency domain.
PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF FUNCTIONAL, CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL OUTCOME OF OPEN REDUCTION AND INTERNAL FIXATION OF ELEMENTARY AND ASSOCIATED ACETABULAR FRACTURES INVOLVING POSTERIOR WALL

Background: Fractures of acetabulum and pelvis constitute only 2% of all fractures. Approximately 24-35% of all acetabular fractures have involvement of the posterior wall which is the most common pattern. The standard treatment for displaced acetabular fractures involving the posterior wall includes anatomic reduction, stable fixation and early motion. The current study was undertaken to determine the functional, clinical and radiological outcome following reconstructions and fixation of acetabular fractures involving the posterior wall. Material & Methods: A prospective study was done involving 20 cases who had acetabular fractures involving posterior wall. Age of the patients, fracture duration, type of acetabular fractures, post-operative fracture reduction were evaluated. All the cases were followed up for a minimum period of 6 months. Clinical results were graded using Merle d’aubigne scale and radiological assessment was done using Matta criteria. Results: The reduction was anatomical in 80% cases. The functional outcome was excellent/good in 65% cases while radiological outcome was excellent/good in 75% cases. Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation is a very effective and hence is considered the gold standard of displaced and unstable posterior wall acetabular fractures.
FEATURES, LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS AND TREATMENT OF LUPUS NEPHRITIS: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY

Background: Lupus nephritis (LN) is a prevalent complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and frequently has a poor outcome due to delay in diagnosis. Histopathological classification of LN along with clinical and laboratory findings can guide us to design a better diagnostic process and treatment plan. The objective is to evaluate clinical profile, pathology, laboratory investigations, and correlate with histopathological classification in patients with LN. Materials and Methods: This prospective, open label study was conducted among patients who had SLE with LN. Patients were randomized to receive treatment with National Institute of Health (NIH) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) regimens. Demographic and clinical profile, and laboratory findings with histopathological classes were analyzed. Result: A total of 52 patients were enrolled with mean age of 27.0 years. Majority of the study population presented with arthralgia (86.5%), edema (80.8%), anemia (63.5%) and renal failure (55.8%). All patients had albuminuria while, 73.1% had hematuria. Majority patients presented in Class IV (40.4%). Out of 45 patients with proliferative LN, 31 exhibited elevated serum creatinine levels and 38 tested positive for double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibodies. Majority of class IV patients (70.0% vs. 83.3%) had low Complement component 4 (C4) and Complement component 3 (C3) levels. NIH regimen achieved remission in 22 patients, while in MMF regimen it was seen in seven patients. One death occurred in patients on the NIH regimen. Conclusion: Serum creatinine, positive dsDNA along with C3 and C4 levels can be associated with histopathological classes of LN. Nearly similar treatment outcomes were observed in patients on both regimens.
A STUDY OF PREDICTORS OF INTENTION TO QUIT TOBACCO USE AMONG CURRENT TOBACCO USERS - ANALYSIS OF GLOBAL ADULT TOBACCO SURVEY-INDIA, 2009-10

Background: Tobacco use remains to be the largest preventable cause of death and disability worldwide. Providing tobacco cessation services is an important strategy in tobacco control and is of great relevance to India. Having an intention to quit is a ‘prerequisite’ for making quit attempts. 56% current tobacco users in the Global adult tobacco survey (GATS) in India did not intend to quit, which is less compared to other studies. The objective is to assess the role of certain socio-demographic correlates, specific tobacco use practices and tobacco control strategies in predicting intention to quit tobacco use among current tobacco users. Materials and Methods: Data source: Current tobacco users from GATS-India 2009-10. Study design: A Secondary analysis of cross-sectional data, obtained from standardised household survey on a nationally representative sample. Analysis: Associations of independent variables with intention to quit tobacco studied using chi-square test. Bivariable and multivariable analysis conducted to identify the determinants of intention to quit tobacco separately for smokers and smokeless tobacco users. Result: In bivariable analysis, except residence all the factors considered in the study were determinants of intention to quit tobacco use. In multivariable analysis among all tobacco users, tobacco users who practiced combined’ use (OR 0.66; CI 0.53-0.80), had no quit attempt in the previous year (OR 0.23; CI 0.20-0.26), had no exposure to preventive messages (OR 0.68; CI 0.56-0.80), had no knowledge of harm caused by smoking, and had no restrictions on smoking in homes, were less likely to desire to quit. Among only smokers, age-group, quantity of tobacco used per day, time to first smoke of the day, and smoking restriction in the homes were important predictors. Among smokeless users, in addition to the factors significant for smokers, females (OR 0.58; CI 0.46-0.74), and those with low education (OR 1.38; CI 1.08-1.77) were less likely to intend to quit. Conclusion: Age-group, gender, education level, quantity of tobacco use, time to first smoke of the day, previous quit attempt, exposure to preventive messages and knowledge of harm cause by tobacco use were important predictors of intention to quit tobacco use.
Trade Liberalization and Productivity ff Manufacturing Industry in Indonesia: The Role of Intermediate Input Import Intensity

This study aims to analyze the role of intermediate input import intensity in the mechanism of how trade liberalization affect plant productivity. The estimation strategy used in this paper is Olley Pakes Methodology which accommodate the control for simultaneity problem and selection bias. The international trade policy used in this paper is Most Favored Nation (MFN) Import Tariff constructed by using 10 digit HS code World Bank Data matched with Manufacturing Industry Intermediate Input Structure from Statistics Indonesia with total of 144,856 observations in 2010 – 2015. The import tariff is separated to output tariff and input tariff then interacted with intermediate input import intensity in 5 digit code disaggregation for each company. As robustness check, every result in this research is compared with Ordinary Least Square (OLS) to ensure that the simultaneity problem and selection bias is solved during the process. The results confirm the mechanism explained by literatures that there is reduction of competition effect raised by liberalization in output market based on the company’s import intensity. This study also found that there was a decline in the productivity of manufacturing industry during the trade policy paradigm towards protectionism. By modifying United Nation Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) categorization of Medium High & High Technology Industries combined with Medium Technology Industries, Low Technology Industries, and Resource-based Industries, the result shows that the most effective trade liberalization policy in Indonesia is in Low Technology Industries.
