Five Year Retrospective and Current Prevalence of Malaria in Bunkure Local Government Area of Kano State, Nigeria

Background: Malaria is one of the most severe public health problems worldwide, particularly in Africa, with Nigeria having the greatest number of cases. This study evaluated a five-year (2012-2016) retrospective and a current trend (August-December 2017) of malaria prevalence in Bunkure Local Government Area of Kano State, Nigeria.&#x0D; Methods: The retrospective review was conducted by extracting data on malaria cases from the Summary Record Book at Bunkure Primary Health Care Facility. In the current survey, a total of 400 participants were examined using peripheral blood sample obtained by venous puncture to estimate the current malaria prevalence. All data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 20.&#x0D; Results: In the retrospective period, a total of 12,387 suspected malaria patients were diagnosed using Rapid Diagnostic Test kit, out of which 9,746 (78.7%) were positive for malaria. The infection was higher in females (45.27%) and in subjects above or equal to 5years of age. There was no significant difference in prevalence between the gender (P= 0.322) and the age groups (P = 0.630). Of the 400 participants examined, 193 were found positive for malaria, representing a prevalence rate of (48.3%), much lower than the prevalence rate in the retrospective period (78.7%). The higher prevalence of the infection was found in males (32.25%) and the age group between 5-12 years (14.25%). The difference in prevalence was statistically not significant between the genders (p = 0.87) and the age groups (p = 0.142).&#x0D; Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, there was a significant decline (P &lt; 0.05) in trend of malaria prevalence in the study area, which may be attributed to the effectiveness of the ongoing control interventions in the locality. This study indicates the need for continuous monitoring of malaria prevalence using both microscopy and RDT for assessment of impact of malaria intervention in the area.

Il contributo della Corte di Giustizia alla formazione di un biodiritto europeo attraverso i diritti fondamentali

Despite the lack of significant competences of the Union in this respect, several dynamics facilitate the encounter between Union law and biolaw. Amongst these, the protection of fundamental rights has become more prominent following the elaboration of the Charter of fundamental rights of the European Union and the subsequent recognition of its Treaty-like status. The occasions for the Court of Justice to deal with biolaw issues have increased. From a substantive point of view, this case law shows that the Court can actively contribute to the development of a European biolaw.
Sierra Leone - Economic Diversification Study

Thanks to advantageous geography, Sierra Leone has abundant natural resources but yet has not been able to deliver more and better jobs for its fast-growing population. Located on the southwest coast of West Africa and bordered by Liberia to the southeast and Guinea to the northeast, the country is among the largest producers of such mineral resources as iron ore, diamonds, titanium, bauxite, and gold. Its population is young and very dynamic; for the last decade, annual population growth has averaged 2.3 percent. In 2018, the age-dependency ratio was 76 percent, above the 72 percent average for fragile and conflict-affected states. With the working-age population growing faster (2.8 percent in 2017) than the population (2.2 percent), Sierra Leone has a pressing need for more and better-paying formal jobs. For the last decade, the economy has been expanding at an average annual rate of 5 percent, but volatility and macro imbalances are worrying. The high GDP growth is mainly driven by agriculture and mineral production. Despite recent improvements, macroeconomic imbalances have historically been characterized by deficits in both fiscal and external balances. As a result, the country is at high risk of debt distress. Real income per capita, estimated at US dollar 469.80 in 2018, is among the lowest in the world and is still well below the pre-Ebola level of US dollar 562.80. Human capital is relatively low, and poverty and inequality are high. Finally, Sierra Leone needs to stabilize its economy to limit growth volatility and vulnerability to external shocks and provide a better and more predictable environment for economic activities to flourish. While economic diversification beyond the mineral sector will reduce the country’s macroeconomic volatility in the long run, fiscal consolidation efforts should continue to ensure that fiscal targets are met consistently to enhance stability. Continued vigorous revenue mobilization efforts and structural reforms to improve tax efficiency will be more effective if complemented by stringent measures to control spending, such as efficient wage control through payroll automation and biometric registration of all civil servants; limiting the use of sole-source procurement and implementing e-procurement; and strict prioritization of capital spending to release funds for essential infrastructure and social programs.
A Study on the Change of Awareness of University Students and the Direction of Liberal Education : Focusing on the works of Lee Mun-yol, Park Min-kyu, Kim Ae-ran, and Jang Gang-myeong

The goal of this study is to consider the direction of general education. to this end, this study analyzes the change of university students" reality perception in Lee Mun-yol, Park Min-kyu, Kim Ae-ran, Jang Gang-myeong"s novel depicting university students. first, it examines the historical, social, and economic positions of university students, and defines them as being between the student and the social person. In Lee Mun-yol"s The Portrait of the Days of Youth(1981), the university student "I" is depicted as cynical disillusion gaze at the gap between reality and ideal. This cynical disillusion was how "I" overcomes the difference between reality of poverty and ideal of ivory tower. Park Min-kyu"s Castella(2005) is an interesting depiction of how university students are fantastically solving real problems of the noise of a refrigerator. here, we can see the use of college students" knowledge changed in a practical attitude. in Kim Ae-ran"s Flight cloud(2012), we can discover the reality recognition of university students who are fully embodied in material logic. in Jang Gang-myung"s The Living(2019), university students are depicted as being incomprehensible. The analysis so far has been an effort to understand the position and values of being a university student. through this, we need to consider the direction of general education.
Cornell University & University of Indonesia, Indonesia

The notion that something cannot be measured does not exist seems to apply in the absence of culture in economics where the role of institutions is at the center of the link between the two. Yet, any economic prosperity, crisis, or deprivation, are the results of human behavior reflecting the outcome of social learning-a central concept of culture. Institutions and culture interact and evolve in a complementary way. They can affect the process of exchange and the transaction costs, which in turn determine the economic performance. Although more work has been done to understand better the interrelation between economics and culture, most remain fell on deaf ears among mainstream economists even though real world cases have shown the critical role of such an interrelation.
Evaluating Impact of Experience in Architectural Design Decision-Making Techniques: An Experimental Study

The software engineering literature describes several decision-making techniques for architectural design. However, the impact of the experience of those who use these techniques on their efficacy has been little explored. This article addresses this research gap through an experimental study to evaluate the impact of experience of software architecture decision-making team members on the efficacy of TaSPeR (Tactics Selection Poker), a software architecture tactics selection technique based on Planning Poker. A set of 24 IT professional developers was divided into two “expert” teams and two “novice” teams (of six people each); each team had to solve two scenarios, one using TaSPeR and one using an ad-hoc technique; the scenarios were crossed to mitigate possible learning effects. The study compared the effectiveness of teams in terms of precision, recall, and accuracy (of selected tactics versus a ground truth); accuracy was found best. Initial results suggest that TaSPeR improves the accuracy of novice teams but hurts the accuracy of expert teams. This result is quite unexpected and begs replication with even larger populations of IT professionals (no easy task). If the results are confirmed, the question that will rise is: if consensus techniques are so good to estimate, why would they hurt design decision-making by expert teams?
CREACIÓN DE UNA COMUNIDAD VIRTUAL DE APRENDIZAJE PARA LA MAESTRÍA PEDAGOGÍA PROFESIONAL DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE HOLGUÍN

Postgraduate education is a priority for Cuban higher education. In the current times, the international tendency of this modality has been to incorporate elements of Educational Technology to favor the processes of continuous training with the influence of Information and Communication Technologies. In particular, the use of Virtual Environments of Teaching Learning facilitates the organization, conservation and control of information through the design and implementation of virtual courses. The present work, based on a research developed in the University of Holguin, makes use of the Moodle platform in order to favor the interaction between students and professors of the Master’s degree Professional Pedagogy to contribute to the permanent formation. The objective of this paper is to present the results of the creation of a Virtual Learning Community for this Master's degree. With 15 courses mounted, this Virtual Learning Community has an average quality of 38.1%. For the analysis of the results, 1 course was taken as a reference, with a total of 24 female teachers enrolled, where a total of 7 activities and 10 resources were used. The impact study was obtained through observation and the application of surveys and interviews. In addition, the calculation of relative frequency or percentage and frequency distribution was used.
Protecting Civilians from Cyber Warfare with Cyber Buffer Zones

Cyber peacekeeping has quickly risen in prominence as a viable way to regulate the impact cyber warfare has upon civilian security. In this article, the concept of a cyber buffer zone is explored, and proposals are made on how it could be used to further the goals of a cyber peacekeeping operation. The article suggests what the goals of a cyber buffer zone could be, and translates the activities of a traditional UN buffer zone into a cyber warfare context. It is shown that many of the activities translate well, and that there is true value to be found in a cyber buffer zone. Whilst valuable, it is noted that many challenges await those tasked with implementing such an idea. However, by beginning the debate today the authors can give peacekeeping organisations and the international community as a whole the best opportunity to be prepared for what cyber warfare will bring.
Cognitive Training

This chapter first emphasizes the need to acknowledge that there are multiple component processes of working memory. The authors also argue that the field needs a better account of what a training effect actually means. They discuss how to design training studies to allow for measurement of specificity and temporal aspects of effects. There is a need to delineate standard criteria for change, because they can be calculated in multiple ways, as the chapter discusses. Further, the authors stress that, in addition to being a vehicle for studying change, training effects can yield unique information about the state of the individual nervous system.

A self-compensation method for out-of-plane motion-induced strain error in 2D digital image correlation

Two-dimensional digital image correlation (2D-DIC) is sensitive to out-of-plane motion, which leads to rather poor strain results. Recently, optical extensometers realized by dual-reflector imaging are proposed, which can selfcompensate the strain errors introduced by out-of-plane motion. In this study, we will extend strain measurement from an extensometer to full-field deformation measurement. To this end, first, two corresponding areas of interest (AOIs) are created based on the symmetrical axis of the reference image. Second, the displacement and strain fields of these AOIs are computed with common 2D-DIC algorithm, respectively. Subsequently, high-accuracy deformation results are obtained by taking the average of the deformation of the corresponding calculation points in two AOIs. Two types of uniaxial tensile tests were conducted to validate the feasibility of the proposed self-compensation method. The first experiment indicates that the strain results obtained with the proposed method are in good agreement with those with strain gauges. The results of the second experiment are basically in agreement with those of numerical simulation ANSYS, which demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed method on measurement of nonuniform strain fields. Both the above two experiments demonstrate that the rigid out-of-plane motion will lead to a global strain-field error for common 2D-DIC.
The impact of learner profiling on social skills

The purpose of this study is to describe the use of personality traits dimensions topredict skills. This paper focuses on the social competency dimension. The study alsoexplored some basic questions about why learners learn, what are their main barriersand what are the expected rewards. Two intake groups were used in this study: 1041September 2017 learners and 278 May 2016 intake students. May 2016 intake studentsare in their 4th semester during September 2017. An online instrument was developedbased on literatures. The findings indicated that the top reasons for students to studywere to obtain higher qualification (39.1%), personal growth (25.5%) and careeradvancement (23.3%). The findings also confirmed that work and family situation isthe main barrier in adult students learning. All dimensions which include the big fivepersonality traits, self-efficacy, self-directedness, attitude towards education andmotivation towards achievement show significant correlation to the social competency.

9.2 Normative Grammars

This article investigates the various aspects of normative grammatical discourse in contemporary Italy. Following a brief discussion of the most important historical phases of Italian grammatical normation, the analysis addresses current orientations of scientific grammaticography and the redefinition of the concepts of rule, standard and error. Particular attention is devoted to the various channels through which ideas and opinions on the grammatical norm are propagated. The consideration given to grammatical normation within the political sphere, newspapers, popular speech and also on television and the Internet, demonstrate the vast regulatory needs of speakers belonging to the Italian language community and the difficult balance between grammar conservatism and openness to innovation.
Positional Self-attention Based Hierarchical Image Captioning

Intelligent robotic systems process images captured by camera devices to get high-level semantic concepts. Current image captioning approaches use convolutional neural networks as encoder and recurrent neural networks as decoder. Various modalities are treated differently and parallel computation is not fully allowed due to the chain architecture. To address these issues, we present a parallel hierarchical neural network based on encoder-decoder architecture to generate descriptions for images. Only convolutional neural networks are adopted here, and the hierarchical framework takes less steps to capture distant dependencies. Masked positional self-attention mechanism is utilized in the decoder to improve the performance. The fixed sized windows make it possible for parallel computation. This generative model uses unified architecture for different modalities, reaching a BLEU-1 score (the higher the better) over 0.7 with a higher training speed.
A Compact Rank/Select Data Structure for the Streaming Model

For a sorted set S from a universe [1.u] received under the streaming model (i.e., elements are received one at a time, in sorted order), such that at a given time it contains n elements {x 1 , …, x n }, and whose characteristic bit vector is $C_{S}=0^{\sigma_{1}}11\cdots 10^{\sigma_{2}}11\cdots 1\cdots 0^{\sigma_{g}}11\cdots 1$ (i.e., the set elements are actually arranged in g ≤ n intervals of size ≥ 1), we propose a compact data structure that answers operations select and rank in $\Theta(\mathrm{lg}(q/\mathrm{lg} q)$ ) worst-case time, and append in $O(1)$ amortized time, using $2q \frac{u-n}{a}+q \frac{n}{a}+o(q \mathrm{lg}\quad \mathrm{lg} q)$ bits of space. The structure is suitable in cases where g $q .
La medicina oltre la cura

Within bioethical debate the dichotomy “to cure”/ “to care” is often used in order to focus on the complexity of the concept of health and – like in a game of mirrors – of each activity aimed to the protection of health. This dichotomy works well also if applied to the role of medicine. Nobody denies that among medicine’s functions and at the foundations of the ancient and modern medicine there is the care of patient, the mission to look after his needs in a global meaning and not only at a clinical level; however, everybody could pacifically observe that the specific mission of medicine, which distinguishes that from the other health care activities, is its capacity to cure the patient. Nevertheless, nowadays, thanks to the scientific and technological progress and to the evolution of the conception of health itself, the increasing power of medicine in our societies seems pushing it beyond the borders of the cure, not only towards the care, but also out of the scheme of the classic aforesaid dichotomy. This paper, by a constitutional studies’ point of view, deals with this issue by: i) analysing the contribution given by the Italian Constitution (starting from the Constituent Assembly debates) to overcome a limited notion of health protection (in the sense of the cure); ii) looking for (at a legal level) the current tendencies of medicine to go beyond the cure.
UPTAKE ICT2LIFE-CYCLE THE SOLUTION TO DIGITAL LITERACY AND INCLUSION OF LEARNERS WITH DISADVANTAGED BACKGROUNDS

#Uptake_ICT2life-cycle: digital literacy and inclusion to learners with disadvantaged background# was an Erasmus + project that aimed at enhancing digital literacy among adults with disadvantaged backgrounds. This project addressed the needs identified by previous studies from Eurostat, which in 2013 identified that one in every three Portuguese has never used the Internet. Being Portugal the fifth country with the highest percentage of people in this situation (33%), preceded by Romania (42%), Bulgaria (41%), Greece (36%) and Italy (35%). Therefore, this project addressed this problem by engaging synergies of seven partners in four countries (Portugal, Italy, United Kingdom and Germany) whose good practices served as a model to follow by other institutions like the Science and Technology Foundation. This network worked at several levels of impact in transversal and trans-sectorial areas, both in terms of the partnerships (academia and business), and in terms of the focus group (VET; adult education with disadvantaged background; HEI with special focus on this group).
