Microbiological Control of Internal Surfaces of Appliances in the Butcher’s Cold Chain in Lubumbashi

Introduction: Food contamination with microorganisms can occur at any stage of the process, from food production to consumption, and can be the result of environmental contamination. This study was carried out in order to identify the microorganisms forming the flora and to determine the level of microbial contamination of the internal surfaces of devices in the cold chain of butcher shops. Method: This is a comparative cross-sectional descriptive study of 30 internal surfaces of ten devices in the chain of two butchers. Results: It seems that the sampling points of Butchery 1 have the highest level of contamination at 87% compared to Butchery 2 (46.67%) with a p = 0.02508 (1000 CFU/cm2. The operating temperature range of the devices varied between -2°C and 6°C, with an average of -3.2°C in Butchery 1 versus -4.6°C and 6°C, with an average of -4°C, 7°C for the Butcher 2. Conclusion: Food pathogens and opportunists can survive on the surfaces of cold chain equipment in butcher shops and therefore pose a risk of cross- contamination.
Geometry of the Décollement Below Eastern Bangladesh and Implications for Seismic Hazard

Eastern Bangladesh sits on the seismically active Chittagong‐Myanmar fold and thrust belt (CMFB), a north‐trending accretionary wedge on the eastern side of the India‐Eurasia collision. Earthquakes on the basal décollement and associated thrusts within the CMFB present a hazard to this densely populated region. In this study, we interpret 28 seismic reflection profiles from both published and unpublished sources to constrain the depth of the basal décollement. To convert profiles from the time domain to the depth domain, we integrate sonic log and seismic stacking velocity data to generate time‐velocity relationships for different parts of the CMFB. Our analysis reveals that the décollement is ∼9 km deep in northeast and southeast Bangladesh, but shallows to ∼5 km in east‐central Bangladesh. The décollement has an area of 7.25 × 104 km2 (∼150 × 450 km), making it capable of an Mw 8.5 earthquake. However, the warped geometry of this fault might act as a rupture barrier were a large earthquake to occur on the décollement. Our combined velocity and fault model lay the groundwork for future studies to address seismic segmentation, ground shaking, and rupture modeling in the CMFB. Finally, we use our compiled data set to analyze the evolution of fold kinematics in the CMFB. We observe that folding style and failure mode varies, from mainly ductile deformation in the foreland to mainly brittle in the hinterland. The dual‐failure modes within the CMFB support the hypothesis that a region with ductile deformation may still be capable of seismic behavior.
The Impact Work-Life Balance toward Job Satisfaction and Employee Retention: Study of Millennial Employees in Bandung City, Indonesia.

Millennial generation employees are employees who value flexibility in their work. Therefore, work-life balance is one of the factors that can affect the attitude of millennial employees in the company. Job satisfaction is an employee's perspective on his work to see how far the company has met employee expectations. A work-life balance makes employees feel job satisfaction because they can work well while in the office; therefore they do not need to be burdened with problems outside of work. In addition, good quality of work-life balance will increase employee retention so that the company can avoid problems related to employee retention. This research aimed to explore the effect of work-life balance on job satisfaction and employee retention of the millennial generation employees in the city of Bandung, Indonesia. The sample used in this study was 196 employees from various fields of work. Analysis of data used simple linear regression, by testing the quality of the data through validity and reliability test. Study results found that there was an effect of work-life balance on job satisfaction as much as 8.3%, and there was an effect of work-life balance on employee retention of 4.4%. One of the managerial implications of the research results that can be implemented is organization should provide a good work environment and facilities to increase the motivation of the employees.
Usefulness of an e-Simulation in improving social work student knowledge of best-practice questions

ABSTRACT Computer-based simulations provide an opportunity for social work students to learn effective communication skills that sit at the core of social work practice. The current study describes a best practice interviewing protocol that promotes the use of open-ended questions (i.e. that elicit elaborate responses without dictating expected content) taught using a computer-generated child avatar. Utilising a mixed method design, quantitative analysis showed social work students (N = 25) who undertook a 3-hour training session showed improvements from baseline to post-training. There was a significant increase in open-ended questions and a concomitant decrease in poorly structured (closed) questions. Thematic analysis (N = 39) of participant feedback on the training supported students’ understanding that open-ended questions are key to eliciting detailed information. Students were positive about the use of technology and its place in social work education, highlighting its realism and the absence of risk to clients while learning. Evidence of emerging reflective practice and understanding of the self when engaging with technology-based education is discussed.
Climate Change and Food Security: The Impact of Some Key Variables on Wheat Yield in Kazakhstan

In such drought-prone regions as Kazakhstan, research on regional drought characteristics and their formation conditions is of paramount importance for actions to mitigate drought risks caused by climate change. This paper presents the results of research on the spatio-temporal patterns of atmospheric droughts as one of the most important factors hindering the formation of crop yields. The influence of several potential predictors characterizing teleconnection in the coupled “atmosphere–ocean” system and cosmic-geophysical factors affecting their formation is analyzed. The spatial relationships between atmospheric aridity at the individual stations of the investigated area and the wheat yield in Kazakhstan as well as its relationships with potential predictors were determined using econometric methods. High correlation was shown between wheat yield fluctuations and Multivariate El-Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), galactic cosmic radiation, solar activity, and atmospheric drought expressed through the soil moisture index, which in turn depends on precipitation levels and temperatures. The model could be modified further so that the individual components could be forecasted into the future using various time series in an ARIMA model. The resulting integration of these forecasts would allow the prediction of wheat yields in the future. The obtained results can be used in the process of creating effective mechanisms for adaptation to climate change and droughts based on their early diagnosis.
A Lack of Psychological and Disability Perspectives in the Framework for the Rational Analysis of Mobile Education: A Literature Review Analysis

The purpose of this literature-based study was to investigate the way in which psychological and disability perspectives, in a South African context, can be accommodated in the Framework for the Rational Analysis of Mobile Education model to promote inclusive approaches in mobile learning. This model aims to guide the way in which learning materials are designed to facilitate mobile learning effectively. This is important because mobile learning can enhance interaction in teaching and learning. The literature suggests that since psychological and disability perspectives have not been adequately dealt with in the model, two components should be added so that inclusivity, particularly in relation to students with different abilities, can be accommodated. Further research regarding disabilities and the use of mobile learning will help educators and higher education institutions to expand their capacity towards adopting these technologies.
Romantic partners’ weight criticism and Latina/o/x young adults’ relationship instability

Negative interactions between romantic partners, such as when one partner criticizes another about their weight, are associated with poor relationship outcomes. The purpose of the study was to examine associations between romantic partner weight criticism, romantic relationship quality, gender, and Latinx young adults’ romantic relationship instability. Participants were recruited from a Qualtrics panel and completed 30-minute surveys online. The sample included 475 Latinx young adults (60% women; Mage = 24.80 years, SD = 3.22; 66% Mexican) who reported on their experiences of romantic partner weight criticism, positive romantic relationship quality (e.g., intimacy, affection, nurturance), negative romantic relationship quality (e.g., conflict, antagonism), and relationship instability. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to test the study goals. Overall, weight-related criticism was more strongly associated with romantic relationship instability for men than for women. Further, for men, associations between weight criticism and romantic relationship instability were also particularly strong in the context of low levels of negative romantic relationship quality compared to high levels of negative romantic relationship quality.
The continued relevance of Deep Brain Stimulation for chronic pain

For the millions of patients experiencing chronic pain despite pharmacotherapy, deep brain stimulation (DBS) provides a beacon of hope. Over the past decade the field has shifted away from DBS towards other forms of neuromodulation, particularly spinal cord stimulation (SCS). DBS for pain is still performed, albeit off-label in US and UK, and experiences variable success rates. SCS is an extremely useful tool for the modulation of pain but is limited in its application to specific pain aetiologies. We advocate use of DBS for pain, for patients for whom pharmacology has failed and for whom spinal cord stimulation is inadequate. DBS for chronic pain is at risk of premature neglect. Here we outline how this has come to pass, and in the process argue for the untapped potential for this procedure.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SAFETY & EFFICACY OF ORAL MISOPROSTOL VERSUS OXYTOCIN IN PREVENTION OF POSTPARTUM HAEMORRHAGE

OBJECTIVE: To compare oral misoprostol with intramuscular oxytocin in prevention of postpartum haemorrhage in low risk vaginal birth in a tertiary care centre. METHOD: In a prospective , open label controlled trial, 60 women were randomly allocated to 2 groups. Gr A – 10 units oxytocin i.m Gr B - 600µg misoprostol orally within 1 minute of delivery. The outcome measured was blood loss within 1 hour and 24hrs of delivery. RESULTS: The mean blood loss in 1 hour post delivery was 151.14 ±12.40ml in Group A and 149.82±10.36 ml in Group B. The mean blood loss within 24hrs after delivery was 218.59 ±33.63 ml in Group A and 230.11±31.82 ml in Group B. There was no signicant difference between the groups in terms of blood loss within1 hr and 24 hrs of delivery. CONCLUSION: oral misoprostol 600μg is as effective as intramuscular oxytocin 10IU in the prevention of PPH in low risk vaginal delivery.
What Shapes Current Account Adjustment During Recessions?

This paper studies the dynamics of external accounts during 278 economic recession events in the past 60 years and sheds light on key factors that shape these patterns. Economic recessions trigger highly-persistent increases in the current account, driven by an initial, sharp decline in investment and fueled by medium term deleveraging, more so in advanced economies than in emerging markets. The strengthening of the current account is more pronounced when internal and external imbalances are present, and less when recessions are synchronized across countries. During severe natural disasters or epidemics, however, current accounts tend to weaken in the short term. Consistent with these findings, the COVID-19 shock, with comparatively moderate pre-existing imbalances yet high synchronization, had a muted effect on current account balances. The compositional changes, however, were unique and driven by unprecedented policy intervention, with record public dissaving more than offsetting exceptional private saving.
A putative structural variant and environmental variation associated with genomic divergence across the Northwest Atlantic in Atlantic Halibut

putative genomic divergence Characterizing the nature of genetic differentiation among individuals and populations and its distribution across the genome is increasingly important to inform both conservation and management of exploited species. Atlantic Halibut ( Hippoglossus hippoglossus) is an ecologically and commercially important ﬁsh species, yet knowledge of population structure and genomic diversity in this species remains lacking. Here, we use restriction-site associated DNA sequencing and a chromosome-level genome assembly to identify over 86 000 single nucleotide polymorphisms mapped to 24 chromosome-sized scaffolds, genotyped in 734 individuals across the Northwest Atlantic. We describe subtle but signiﬁcant genome-wide regional structuring between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and adjacent Atlantic continental shelf. However, the majority of genetic divergence is associated with a large putative chromosomal rearrangement (5.74 megabases) displaying high differentiation and linkage disequilibrium, but no evidence of geographic variation. Demographic reconstructions suggest periods of expansion coinciding with glacial retreat, and more recent declines in N e . This work highlights the utility of genomic data to identify multiple sources of genetic structure and genomic diversity in commercially exploited marine species.
Serological and bacteriological evaluation of brucellosis in milk of small ruminants

Brucellosis continues to be a serious infection to human and animal populations in developing countries with detrimental impacts on public health and food animal production. This work aimed to estimate the prevalence of brucellosis in sheep and goats’ raw milk samples at Kirkuk Governorate, Iraq by identifying anti-Brucella antibodies and isolation of Brucella species. A total of 430 raw milk samples (210 sheep milk and 220 goats’ milk) were randomly collected from dairy females during the period from July to December 2019. The results showed an overall prevalence of Brucella antibodies in 12.3% and 10.7% of animals according to MRT and indirect ELISA, respectively. The overall isolation of Brucella species from raw milk samples was 10.0%. The isolated species of Brucella were B. abortus (37.2%) and B. melitensis (62.8%). An observable increase in occurrence during autumn (September to November) was detected, while autumn progress was associated with declining in brucellosis. In conclusion, brucellosis is still a significant public health hazard in Kirkuk Governorate. Based on test performance, the study recommends MRT as a rapid screening test for detecting brucellosis in milk in farms, centres, and dairy factories. Consumers are also recommended to sufficiently pasteurize the milk in order to kill this milk-borne pathogen before consumption.
A study on English learning strategies of university students in Hong Kong

ABSTRACT This study attempted to analyze learning strategies used by Hong Kong university students for learning English. Results indicate that Cantonese native speakers mostly used cognitive strategies when learning English, while memory strategies were the least used. Besides, the use of memory strategies among males varied significantly, and little difference was observed in the use of metacognitive strategies by females. The use of cognitive strategies was significantly associated with grade level, with fourth-year students using cognitive strategies more often than fifth-year students. Finally, on correlating the daily study time with cognitive strategies, it was observed that students who studied more than 0.5 hours a day used cognitive strategies more frequently than those who studied less than 0.5 hours a day. This study not only provides new evidence that grade level and study time affect the use of English learning strategies in Hong Kong, but also yields some important pedagogical implications.
The Effects of Co-Teaching Zones of Regulation on Elementary Students’ Social, Emotional, and Academic Risk Behaviors

Student misbehavior is a significant concern in the current classroom. Teachers nationwide have implemented several approaches to reduce student misbehavior, including School-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and co-teaching. However, since misbehaver still disrupts learning, research is still needed to find a classroom intervention that will reduce misbehavior in a classroom to prevent students from under achieving, disruption of peers’ learning and teacher burnout. Zones of Regulation focuses on self-regulation, while addressing sensory processing, executive functioning, and emotional regulation. This experimental study tested the effects of co-taught Zones of Regulation on students’ Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener (SAEBRS). Fifty-six early elementary students (48% female) were assigned randomly to either the experimental group, which received co-taught direct instruction with Zones of Regulation or the control group, which received standard instruction with a morning meeting. It was predicted that the experimental group would score higher on the SAEBRS than the control group. Although results showed no statistical difference on the SAEBRS scores between the two groups, more students in the experimental group moved from “at risk” to “not at risk”. This study suggests additional research needs to be conducted to determine if co-taught Zones of Regulation instruction is an effective intervention for reducing misbehavior.
A lattice approach for option pricing under a regime-switching GARCH-jump model

Abstract In this study, we consider option pricing under a Markov regime-switching GARCH-jump (RS-GARCH-jump) model. More specifically, we derive the risk neutral dynamics and propose a lattice algorithm to price European and American options in this framework. We also provide a method of parameter estimation in our RS-GARCH-jump setting using historical data on the underlying time series. To measure the pricing performance of the proposed algorithm, we investigate the convergence of the tree-based results to the true option values and show that this algorithm exhibits good convergence. By comparing the pricing results of RS-GARCH-jump model with regime-switching GARCH (RS-GARCH) model, GARCH-jump model, GARCH model, Black–Scholes (BS) model, and Regime-Switching (RS) model, we show that accommodating jump effect and regime switching substantially changes the option prices. The empirical results also show that the RS-GARCH-jump model performs well in explaining option prices and confirm the importance of allowing for both jump components and regime switching.
KOMPETENSI BARISTA DALAM MENYAMPAIKAN EXPERIENTIAL MARKETING DI COFFEE SHOP DI KOTA BANDUNG

People have now made drinking coffee in coffee shops a new culture. Many people who are interested in getting into the coffee business because of the market potential are eager to explore the brewing process and want to share with those around them. One of the determinants of a coffee shop business success is the presence of a barista. Barista is the name for someone whose job is to make and serve coffee to customers. Therefore, baristas must have competence in delivering Experiential marketing such as treating customers as friends, remembering customers' names, and always smiling and baristas must have competence in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration. The purpose of this research is none other than knowing the level of competence of baristas in conveying the values of experimental marketing and knowing the level of competence of baristas according to SKKNI No. 370 of 2013. This research was conducted using a questionnaire to baristas with quantitative techniques and conducting interviews with informants. The results of this study indicate that the majority of baristas are competent in applying this aspect of Experiential marketing. Based on the measurement of barista competence according to SKKNI Barista, it can be concluded that the majority of baristas are very capable of meeting the standards even though the majority of baristas do not know these standards and also only a small proportion of baristas who are respondents have attended Barista Schools.
Novel approach for retrieving land-surface albedo: case study at the Nanling National Nature Reserve, Guangdong Province

ABSTRACT We developed a novel method for retrieving land-surface albedo (LSA) based on 338 groups of meteorological and NPP-VIIRS albedo data. Results showed that the LSA retrieval model calibrated using therandom forest (RF) machine-learning regression algorithm performed well. The RF-based LSA retrieval model explained approximately 84% of the NPP-VIIRS albedo variation (R2 = 0.8429; N = 236) and yielded satisfactory validation accuracy (RMSE = 0.0167; MRE = 15.82%; N = 102). The original and retrieved albedo were also compared with the MODIS albedo product, which further validated the accuracy and effectiveness of the approach (RMSE = 0.0091; RME = 8.2%).
Coordinated and Competitive Formation of Soil Magnetic Particles Driven by Contrary Climate Development

Ferrimagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) iron oxide particles are considered pedogenic and climatic indicators due to their enrichment with comparable increasing in rainfall and temperature. However, the opposite changes in rainfall and temperature result in rapid change of relative humidity (RH), which could lead to their competition and transformation. We examined two soil sequences which have undergone contrary climate development on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. Dry and warm climate with low RH favors the coordinative enrichment of AFM hematite and FM particles, while wet and cool climate with high RH mainly produces goethite but leads to competition between low content AFM hematite and FM particles. The outcome well interprets the changing relationship between color and magnetism in soils and sediments, and suggests that temperature is as important as precipitation in paleoclimate reconstruction based on iron oxides, especially during strong dry‐wet cycles and climate pattern shifts.
Survival Analysis of Covid 19 Patients from Two Hospitals in Cimahi, Indonesia

—The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) outbreak is still evolving globally and remains a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). This study was conducted to find out the survival probability of patients suffering from covid after the patients were hospitalized for one month in Dustira hospital and RSUD Cibabat. The study design used retrospective cohort study, with data analysis using survival analysis employing life table and Kaplan Meier. From the clinical symptoms it was found that the most complaints were among others fever, cough, throat pain, throws up, and anosmia with 88,1%, 85,1%, 50,6%, 56,5% and 26,2 % respectively. Survival probability of males and females was 49% and 33% respectively. The covid patients with comorbid factors had a lower survival probability than those without comorbid ones. The covid patients hospitalized in Dustira Hospital and RSUD Cibabat were those showing the symptoms from the beginning of the disease, and the dead patients were those with comorbid factors. Hypertension is a factor that increases the risk of death in Covid 19 patients. Hypertensive patients are advised to keep control and take medication regularly to reduce the risk of death if infected Covid 19.
