Bibliometric analysis of the top 100 cited articles on HIV/AIDS

Background: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic remains a significant global health issue with currently around 38 million people living with the illness. In 2019, 1.7 million new infections were recorded and 33 million people had died of related causes globally. This study aims to examine and analyse the scientific research progress on HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) through a study of the 100 most cited articles during the years 2010 to 2020 by using bibliometric methods. Methods: A comprehensive retrospective bibliometric analysis was performed on HIV/AIDS literature published from 2010 until August 19th, 2020 and retrieved from Web of Science (WoS). We used the entry terms of the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) database to identify the top 100 cited articles. Results: The top-cited articles received a number of citations ranging from 338 to 4,396 times, with a mean of 633.56 citations per article. Out of the 100, a total of 77 papers were citation classic, cited more than 400 times. The most published documents in the set were reported in 2011 (n=22). The articles were published in 32 journals, out of which, 8 had 3 or more cited publications. The University of California, San Francisco was the top-ranking institution with a total citation score of 9,482 while the authors Burton DR and Mascola JR were the most prolific with 9 published articles each. The United States Department of Health Human Services financially contributed to 82% of the publications. Conclusions: This study analysis presents a recent prospect on the advancement of HIV/AIDS research worldwide that can be applied to enhance the understanding of HIV/AIDS research and support further work in this research field.

Soil nitrogen‐hydrolyzing enzyme activity and stoichiometry following a subtropical land use change

Soil extracellular enzyme activities reflect the microbial nutrient demand by microorganisms and can be strongly affected by land use change. However, how soil N‐hydrolyzing enzymes and soil extracellular enzyme stoichiometry (EES) respond to land use change remains unclear. Here, we explored seasonal variations in β‐1,4‐N‐acetyl glucosaminidase and leucine aminopeptidase activities and EES under afforested land (woodland and shrubland), cropland, and uncultivated land for better understanding microbial metabolism around the Danjiangkou Reservoir area. Both afforested and cropland soils averaged higher N‐hydrolyzing enzyme and specific enzyme activities [i.e., enzyme activities per unit of soil organic nitrogen (SON)] compared to the uncultivated soils, indicating fast N turnover rates after afforestation and cultivation. Higher N‐hydrolyzing enzyme activities under afforestation and cultivation could be attributed to increasing soil organic carbon and soil organic nitrogen contents. All land use types were generally restricted by nutrients limitation than C demand as mean soil ecoenzymatic C:N:P ratios deviated from 1:1:1. However, afforestation and cultivation r|esulted in greater C demand and alleviate nutrient limitation for soil microorganisms with higher ecoenzymatic C:N ratios, C:P ratios, and vector lengths. In addition, all land use types were restricted by P than N limitation with ecoenzymatic N:P ratios less than 1 and vector angle >45°, among which afforestation increased P limitation and cultivation alleviated P limitation for microbes compared with uncultivated land. Overall, our results provide insight into mechanisms of soil microbial metabolic limitation regulated by soil N‐hydrolyzing enzyme activity and EES under global land use change.
Examining Membership of Dutch Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs and Its Association with Indqividual Criminal Careers

ABSTRACT Using long-term personal background and registered criminal career data on 2,714 police-identified members of Dutch Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMCGs), the current study examines Dutch OMCG membership and its association with members’ criminal careers. Results show that Dutch OMCG members differ from the average Dutch adult male population (N = 6,845,110) in terms of demographic, socio-economic, and criminal career characteristics. Furthermore, the findings corroborate statements that selection into Dutch OMCG membership has changed in recent years. Finally, the study explored the consequences of joining and desisting an OMCG on crime. The findings cautiously demonstrate that desistance from OMCG membership is associated with a drop in total and violent registered criminal behavior. No effects of joining an OMCG on crime were found, which is attributed to recent changes in OMCGs’ membership profile. Implications for future research are discussed.

Determinants and Outcomes of Mortality among Extremely Preterm Infants From a Tertiary Hospital in Thailand: 15-Year Experience

Objective: It remains unclear if changes in neonatal care have resulted in better outcomes for extremely preterm infants (EPTs). This study was to evaluate neonatal mortality and morbidity in EPTs.Material and Methods: A retrospective cohort study of EPTs at a gestational age (GA) ≤28 weeks, who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit between January 2004 and December 2018. The study was divided into 2 periods, from 2004-2010 and 2011-2018. The likelihood ratio test in Multiple Cox regression models were used to determine adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) for differences in mortality among the two periods.Results: A total of 188 EPTs were enrolled. The overall median (interquartile range), GA and birth weight of the enrolled infants were 26 (25, 27) weeks and 780 (667, 875) g, respectively. The mortality rate was 66/188 (35.1%). The mortality rate between 2004-2010 and 2011-2018 decreased from 44.6% to 32.8%, but was not statistically significant (p-value=0.170). Multiple Cox regression analysis of mortality rate demonstrated statistical significance with infants of 23-24 and 25-26 weeks GA VS 27-28 weeks GA [aHR 3.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.95, 7.58), p-value<0.010] and [aHR 1.92, 95% CI (1.09, 3.35), p-value<0.010], respectively. Pregnancy complications [aHR 2.24, 95% CI (0.96, 5.24), p-value=0.040)] and EPTs intubated VS early CPAP at birth [aHR 2.41, 95% CI (1.36, 4.25), p-value<0.010] were statistically significant.Conclusion: The mortality rate of EPTs decreased with advancing GA. Prenatal care of pregnancy complications and improving care practices might reduce the mortality rate.
The Influence of Principal Leadership and Work Motivation on Teacher Performance

The leadership of the principal is a determining factor for the success of the quality of educators. Good leadership will also create a good work environment, so that high teacher work motivation will emerge. Teacher work motivation is a drive from within and encouragement from outside to carry out work, so that teacher work motivation can be one of the factors that can affect the ups and downs of teacher performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of principal leadership, teacher motivation on teacher performance at SMP 32 OKU. The method used in this research is quantitative with ex post facto type. The population in this study were 58 teachers of SMP 32 OKU. The data collection techniques used were questionnaires and documentation. The data analysis technique used is the analysis prerequisite test, including the normality test, autocorrelation test, heteroscedasticity test and multicollinearity test, and heteroscedasticity. The final analysis test uses the one-sample t-test, simple and multiple correlation analysis, simple and multiple regression analysis, the coefficient of determination, and the f-test.
Transpinay: Genealogy of a term

This article provides a genealogical analysis of the Philippine category “transpinay,” a compound word combining “trans” and “pinay. ” It traces the coining of the term by trans activists in the first decade of the 21st century and examines the ways in which the term gained its currency by drawing out distinctions between gender and sexuality categories. The article investigates what the category includes and what the category excludes, and examines disputes over the term’s categorical boundaries. Overall, the article aims not to determine what the term transpinay is, but rather investigates what the term does and how it came to be.
Fabrication and characterization of jute fabrics reinforced polypropylene-based composites: effects of ionizing radiation and disaccharide (sucrose)

ABSTRACT Composites were prepared successfully by compression molding technique using jute fabrics (reinforcing agent) and polypropylene (matrix). Jute fabrics were treated with disaccharide (sucrose) solution and composites were fabricated with the treated fabric and polypropylene. The fiber content of the prepared composites was 40% by weight. It was found that the sucrose (2% solution) decreased the tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break about 6% and 37%, respectively, but tensile modulus and impact strength improved about 27% and 32%, respectively. When gamma radiation was applied through the untreated and treated composites the mechanical properties were improved much higher in non-treated Jute/PP-based composites than that of sucrose treated composites. For 5.0 kGy gamma dose the highest mechanical properties were observed for non-treated composites. At 5.0 kGy gamma dose the improvement of TS was 14% and 2% for non-treated and sucrose treated composites, respectively. The water uptake property of the sucrose treated composites was performed up to 10 days and composites absorbed 18% water. The functional groups of the both composites were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy machine. The scanning electron microscopic images of the both composites were taken for the surface and fiber adhesion analysis.
Partners in lockdown: Relationship stress in men and women during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected people's lives and relationships. On March 13, 2020, the Belgian government issued lockdown measures which constrained most people's work and social life to the confines of their own home. For couples who lived together, being locked down together potentially placed a lot of stress on their relationship. As relationship stress can have detrimental (mental) health outcomes, it is important to identify which relationship aspects were particularly stressful during the pandemic lockdown. The present study aimed to investigate whether perceived relationship stress about five specific relationship aspects (i.e., conflict, diverging attitudes, restrictions, less connectedness, and neglect) differed before and during the lockdown, and between men and women. We conducted an online survey study among 2,889 respondents between April 3 and 17, 2020. A total of 1,491 respondents (76.3% female, Mage = 41.23) lived together full-time with their partner at the time. Our findings indicate that during the lockdown, women experienced more relationship stress than men because of conflict and diverging attitudes within their relationship. Furthermore, both men and women experienced more stress during the lockdown than before because they felt restricted in their relationship. Lastly, women reported significantly more perceived relationship stress during the pandemic lockdown compared to before because of conflicts they experienced within their relationship. Our findings provide important information for policymakers and health-care professionals to help couples who endure relationship hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown or in possibly similar situations in future crises.

Double burden of malnutrition among school-aged children and adolescents: evidence from a community-based cross-sectional survey in two Nigerian States

Background: Double burden of malnutrition (DBM) is the co-existence of overweight/obesity and undernutrition. Rising prevalence rates of childhood overweight/obesity in Nigeria have been reported, whilst undernutrition continues to be prevalent. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and distribution of underweight, stunting, thinness, overweight/obesity, and DBM among school-aged children and adolescents in two Nigerian States. Methods: This was a community-based cross-sectional study carried out in Osun and Gombe States. A total of 1,200 children aged 6 – 19 years were recruited using multi-stage sampling technique. Weight, height and data on demographic, socio-economic, household/family characteristics of the children were collected using structured interviewer administered questionnaires. Nutritional status was calculated using the WHO 2007 reference values using BMI-for-age (thinness, overweight/obesity), height-for-age (stunting) and weight-for-age (underweight). DBM was described at the population and individual levels. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 11.6 ± 3.8 years. The overall prevalence rate of stunting was 34.9%, underweight was 13.5%, thinness was 10.3% and overweight/obese was 11.4% and 4.0% had individual level DBM, which typifies the DBM at individual and population levels. These rates differed significantly across demographic, socio-economic and household/family characteristics (p < 0.05). Gombe State, which is in the Northern part of Nigeria, had significantly higher burden of stunted, underweight and thin children than Osun State, while Osun State, in the Southern part of Nigeria, had a significantly higher burden of overweight/obesity. Conclusions: The study found evidence of DBM both at population and individual levels. The overall prevalence rates of stunting, underweight, thinness and overweight/obesity in this study were high, and they differed significantly across the demographic, socio-economic and household/family characteristics. There is the need for government and all other stakeholders to design nutritional educational programmes that will target both under- and over-nutrition among older children in the different contexts.
Serosurvey of hepatitis A virus and E virus infection among municipal sweepers working in the largest city in the south of Iran

ABSTRACT This study was conducted to determine the exposure rate of Hepatitis A and Hepatitis E viruses in urban solid waste collectors/sweepers in the south of Iran. The 385 samples (serums) were collected from Shiraz Municipality waste sweepers. A questionnaire was used to gather data on their demographic and occupational characteristics, as well as their awareness of viral hepatitis disease. The viral seroprevalence was determined by commercial IgG ELISA kit. All participants were male, mean age of 41 ± 8 years. ELISA assay showed that all of them were positive for anti-HAV IgG. Also, 62 out of 385 individuals were positive for anti-HEV IgG. The statistical analysis showed that the frequency of HEV IgG antibody among age groups 20–30, 31–40, 41–50 and >50 years old had an increasing trend, 4.5%, 10.1%, 17.4%, and 36.7%, respectively, indicating age factor significance (p = .001). Based on some investigated factors including the duration of work experience, current and previous jobs, habitation, personal hygiene status, and knowledge on viral hepatitis diseasees/their transmission, there was no statistically significant difference between anti-HEV IgG positive versus negative sweepers. The results indicated a slighty higher frequency of anti-HAV and anti-HEV IgG among sweepers compared to other pre-investigated population. It doesn’t seem that garbage collecting/sweeping could be a significant risk factor for HAV and HEV infection.
Vitamin C content in edible potato tubers in the conditions of using biostimulators

ABSTRACT In plant production that produces high-value products, biostimulants are gaining more and more importance. Research hypothesis; biostimulants can contribute to the change of vitamin C content in edible potato tubers. This hypothesis was verified in a three-year field experiment. The effect of four variants of the use of biostimulators: BrownBio Gold (auxin and cytokinin), GreenOk (humic substances), Kelpak SL (Ecklonia maxima), Titanit (titanium) in tubers of three potato cultivars on the content of vitamin C. The applied biostimulants had a significant impact on the content of vitamin C. The highest increase of this component was found in tubers harvested from the plots sprayed with BrownBio Gold. Vitamin C content under the influence of biostimulants was on average 205.0 mg·kg−1 of fresh weight. Hydrothermal conditions prevailing in the years of the research were the factor that significantly modified the content of the analysed component.
Entrepreneurial orientation and innovative performance in SMEs: the role of organizational learning

This study analyzes the effect of organizational learning capacity on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and innovative performance among SMEs. The data was drawn from a sample of 158 SMEs coming from a research project at the Costa Rica Institute of Technology. The results of the sequential hierarchical regression models indicate that both entrepreneurial orientation and organizational learning capacity, in general, positively affect SMEs’ innovative performance. In addition, the findings reveal that organizational learning capacity conditions the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on innovative performance, thus suggesting that the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on innovative performance is enhanced in SMEs with a greater learning capacity. The results highlight the importance of practices that facilitate organizational learning such as experimentation, risk-taking, interactions with the external environment, dialogue, and participatory decision-making in SMEs.
Effects of Fruit Maturity Stages on GC-FID Fatty Acid Profiles, Phenolic Contents, and Biological Activities of Eucalyptus marginata L.

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of development stages of Eucalyptus marginata’s fruits on the fatty acid composition as well as on phenolic, flavonoid, and tannin contents of oils. Taking into account fruit maturity stages, vegetable oils have been evaluated for their biological potentials. Fatty acid profiles were quantified using gas chromatography (GC) coupled to a flame ionization detector (FID). The fatty acid profiles of oils obtained from mature fruits showed highest linoleic acid content (49.21%) and Z-vaccenic (C18:1n-7) + oleic (C18:1n-9) acids (22.40%) and a low content of linolenic acid (C18:3) (1.59%). On the other hand, the major saturated fatty acid compound found in the oil of immature Eucalyptus marginata fruits was palmitic acid (C16:0) with about 27%. Based on the Folin–Ciocalteau method, the obtained results revealed a significant difference in the contents of total polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins according to the stage of fruit maturity ( p < 0.05 ). Furthermore, the detected antimicrobial potentials were related to the fruit maturity stage. While both veg\etable oils extracted from mature and immature Eucalyptus marginata fruits exhibited notable antibacterial activities against the species Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Serratia marcescens, and Escherichia coli, only the oils extracted from immature fruits exhibited an antifungal activity against Candida parapsilosis.
Effect of school-based interventions on body composition of grade-4 children from lower socioeconomic communities in Gqeberha, South Africa

Background. South African (SA) children from disadvantaged communities are plagued by a double burden of under- and over-nutrition. The resulting overweight and obesity on the one hand, and stunting on the other, are risk factors for chronic diseases in adulthood. Objective. To determine the effect of school-based interventions on body composition of grade-4 children from lower socioeconomic communities in the Gqeberha region, SA. Methods. A cluster-randomised controlled trial was carried out with children from 8 schools. Schools were randomly assigned, either to a 10-week school-based intervention (4 schools) or a control condition (4 schools). The intervention comprised several arms, with each intervention school receiving a different combination of the following measures: physical activity, health and hygiene education, and nutrition education with supplementation. Effects on children’s body composition were evaluated using standardised, quality-controlled methods. Height and weight were assessed to calculate body mass index (BMI), and percentage body fat was measured via thickness of skinfolds (triceps and subscapular). Results. Overall, 898 children (458 boys and 440 girls) aged 8 - 11 years participated in the trial. Children’s BMI, BMI-for-age and percentage body fat increased significantly over time. Increases were similar in boys and girls. Body fat remained unchanged in underweight children, whereas increases occurred in normal weight and (particularly) overweight/obese peers. In normal-weight children, the physical activity intervention (either alone or combined with health education) mitigated increments in body fat levels. A similar pattern was observed in overweight/obese children, but only in the physical activity intervention cohort alone. Conclusion. Our study shows that normal-weight children are at risk of becoming overweight and children who are already overweight/ obese are at even greater risk of gaining weight. The physical activity intervention (alone or in combination with health education) can mitigate increases in body fat in normal-weight children as well as in overweight/obese children. Our findings reveal that school-based physical activity, nutrition and health and hygiene interventions can have beneficial effects on children’s body composition. Further analyses are needed to examine how (school-based) physical activity interventions should be designed to improve children’s health in lower socioeconomic areas.
