Antibacterial Assessment of Oils from Four Plants Against Selected Gentamicin-Resistant Gram-Positive Bacteria
Authors: Adeyemi Folasade Muibat
Published: September 2022

Background: The continuous rise of the menace of antibiotic resistance in microorganisms remains a global health problem, and this places a significant burden on the effective management of infections caused by multiple-resistant species. Phytocompounds are being constantly assessed for bioactive components to discover new products. This study was designed to investigate the antibacterial activity of oils from four plants – sweet almond (SAO), avocado (AO), black seed (BSO), and coconut (CO) against gentamicin-resistant Gram-positive bacteria from environmental sources.
Methods: Fifty-seven water and soil samples were collected, and gentamicin-resistant Gram-positive bacteria isolates were recovered and identified with the ABIS online Microbiology software. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method and multiple antibiotic resistance indices (MARI) of isolates evaluated. The antibacterial activity of plant oils was evaluated with the agar well diffusion technique, and analyses of bioactive compounds in the oil samples using a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS).
Results: Altogether, 60 Gram-positive Gentamicin-resistant bacterial isolates were recovered. The isolates spanned 34 species belonging to 11 genera, namely Staphylococcus spp. (27), Bacillus spp. (18), Enterococcus spp. (2), Listeria spp. (2), Macrococcus spp. (3), Corynebacterium sp. (1), Lactobacillus sp. (1), Paenibacillus sp. (1), Rothia sp. (1), Salinicoccus sp. (1) and Streptococcus spp. (3). A high proportion of the isolates were resistant to erythromycin and oxacillin at 96.7%, and ampicillin at 86.7%. Meropenem was observed to be the most effective in-vitro. All isolates (100.0%) exhibited multidrug resistance and had MARI above 0.4. In undiluted forms, plant oils exhibited very low inhibitory activity against isolates but improved upon dilution of the plant oils in the order BSO > SAO > CO > AO.
Conclusion: The extremely high levels of multidrug resistance suggest the rapid dissemination of antibiotic resistance traits in the community and are quite bothersome. The plant oils exhibited low antimicrobial activity, emphasising the need for a continuous search for bioactive compounds against multidrug-resistant pathogens. This study, therefore, recommends the in-vivo investigation of the plant oils and the possibility of a synergistic relation-ship of these plant oils with conventional antibiotics.
Susceptibility and fecundity of Bedbugs (Cimex hemipterus) from Yaba College of Technology Lagos exposed to Selected Classes of Insecticides: A short report
Authors: Oboh Mary Aigbiremo
Published: September 2022

Background: Tropical bed bug, Cimex hemipterus, is a nocturnal obligate blood-sucking ectoparasite of humans that is highly prevalent in Nigeria. Bed bug controls heavily rely on the application of several insecticide-based formulations. Insecticide resistance in bed bug populations has been widely reported. In this study, we assessed the mortality of bed bugs following exposure to different classes of insecticides.
Methodology: Active adult female bed bugs were collected from students’ halls of residence and exposed to DDT (4%), permethrin (0.75), bendiocarb (0.1) and malathion (4%) insecticide-impregnated papers. Mortality and number of eggs laid by each exposed group were recorded at 90 minutes, 24hrs, 48hrs and 72hrs.
Results: The impact of the different assays on bugs mortality revealed DDT to produce a time-dependent outcome with the highest mortality rate [(36.7% (Cl 32.7±38.9)], this was followed by Bendiocarb [31.6% (CI 27.2±35.1)]. In comparison, permethrin and malathion produced the same effect [26.7% (CI 23±30.5)] 24 hours post-exposure. In contrast, malathion and bendiocarb impacted the most mortality [53.3% (49.3±58.7) and 46.6%(42.2±49.5)], followed by permethrin [18.9% (CI 44.6±56.8) after 72 hours. The relative numbers of eggs produced by bedbugs in the DDT, bendiocarb and malathion assays were lower than what was observed in the control and permethrin group 24 hours after exposure. The highest reduction in egg production was observed in the malathion exposed group 48- and 72-hours post-exposure compared to the other insecticides and the control group.
Conclusion: This study revealed suspected insecticide resistance to all classes of insecticide used on bed bug populations in Lagos State, Nigeria.

The results showed that at each stage, (1) male students (SL) were able to relate their mathematical knowledge related to the limit function material to find answers (action), (2) explain how to find answers (process), (3 ) has not been able to explain the rules used (objects), and (4) have not been able to solve more complex problems (schemas). On the other hand, female students (SP) only reached the action stage. So it can be concluded that the reflective abstraction ability of SL is better than SP in reconstructing the concept of limit function.
Nobody listens, nobody wants to hear you: Access to healthcare/social services for women in Canada
Authors:   School of Nursing, Queen's University, Canada, Camargo-Plazas Pilar , Waite Jennifer , Sparringa Michaela , Whitfield Martha , Duhn Lenora
Published: September 2022

In Canada, an unacceptable number of women live below the poverty threshold. Some subgroups of women, such as Indigenous, visible minorities, immigrants and refugees, older adults, and single mothers are more likely to live in poverty, as they face multiple systemic barriers preventing their financial stability. Further, socioeconomic status, employment, gender, and access to healthcare and social services negatively impact women’s well-being and health. Yet little is known about how these factors affect healthcare behaviours and experiences for women living on a low income. Our goal is to describe and understand how gender and income influence access to healthcare and social services for women living on a low income. Methods: Partnered with a not-for-profit organization, we explored the experiences of women living on a low income in Kingston, Canada. Using participatory, art-based research and hermeneutic phenomenological approaches, our data collection methods included photovoice, semi-structured interviews and culture circles. A purposive sample was recruited. Analysis was conducted following the social determinants of health framework by Loppie-Reading and Wien. Results: Participants perceived the healthcare and social services systems as unnecessarily complex, disrespectful, and dismissive–one where they are mere spectators without voice. They do not feel heard. They also identified problematic issues regarding living conditions, housing, and fresh food. Despite these experiences, participants are resilient and optimistic. Implications: Learning from participants has indicated priority issues and potential, pragmatic solutions to begin incremental improvements. Changing system design to enable self-selection of food items is one example. Conclusion: For an individual to feel others view them as unworthy of care, especially if those ‘others’ are the care providers, is ethically and morally distressing–and it certainly does not invite system-use. While our early findings reveal considerable system improvements are required, we are inspired by and can learn from the strength of the participants.
Trusted Environmental and Geological Information
Authors: McAlpine Sarlae ,   Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)
Published: September 2022

Two new programs at Geoscience Australia are providing trusted, high-quality science to support decision making and the Australian resources industry. The Trusted Environmental and Geological Information program will provide baseline precompetitive data in the Cooper, Adavale, north Bowen and Galilee basin regions. A repository of information is being developed in collaboration with CSIRO, including new geological and environmental assessments, to accelerate development in the sectors of petroleum, mineral, hydrogen and carbon capture and storage, while simultaneously providing opportunities to understand the potential hazards, risk and impacts of these resources being developed. The Data Driven Discoveries program is combining new and old data to better understand the underexplored Adavale Basin in central-western Queensland. The program will undertake chemical composition analyses to support the correlation of geological layers, collate and reprocess historical seismic data, acquire new seismic reflection data, and undertake stratigraphic research drilling to provide a more detailed understanding of basin architecture and the resource potential of the Adavale Basin. An overview of the Trusted Environmental and Geological Information and Data Driven Discoveries programs, initial results, and planned acquisition, will show how these complementary programs will contribute to streamlined regulation and approval processes, the low emissions agenda, and responsible resource development in key basins regions across Australia.
CO2 geological storage in the Surat Basin
Authors: Pearce Julie ,   University of Queensland Centre for Natural Gas
Published: September 2022

Carbon dioxide (CO2) storage is a vital part of the energy transition to low emissions. The Jurassic age Precipice Sandstone of the Surat Basin in Queensland, Australia, has been investigated as a suitable reservoir for CO2 storage. The overlying Evergreen Formation is a thick, interbedded mudstone and sandstone seal, and regarded a regional aquitard. Wells have been drilled for feasibility studies, initially in CTSCo’s Glenhaven region, near Wandoan, and recently in the southern Surat Basin near the town of Moonie. Since the Precipice Sandstone is also a Great Artesian Basin aquifer, the southern region with deeper groundwater unsuitable for stock use, and minimal to stagnant flow, is likely a more suitable site. The University of Queensland has undertaken research in both potential storage regions, and more broadly across the basin, including the separate Moonie oil field. This presentation will focus on core characterisation, experimental and modelled geochemical CO2-water-rock reactions and their impacts on water quality, porosity and permeability, and the effects of gas stream impurities SOx, NOx and O2. In addition, it may touch on field studies to assess existing hydrochemistry, water quality and native greenhouse gases in the Precipice Sandstone, and in the Hutton Sandstone that overlies the Evergreen Formation.

Energy for the future… but which future?
Authors: Garnett Andrew ,   University of Queensland
Published: September 2022

A number of scenarios attempt to map out the future of our energy mix. Some of these are normative, they start in 2050 with ‘net zero’ and work backwards, and some are exploratory, they start with today’s trends and see where we end up. There’s increasingly a dissonance between the two sets. There’s a dissonance too between rhetorical claims and on-the-ground energy consumption. And now we have a terrible Russia-Ukraine tragedy and we are reminded that energy security probably trumps all. Prof. Garnett’s presentation will roam around the space of energy futures and try (and fail) to make sense of things!
Incidental chest findings on coronary CT angiography: a pictorial essay and management proposal
Authors: Pinto1 Erique , Penha1,2 Diana , Hochhegger3 Bruno , Monaghan2 Colin , Marchiori4,5 Edson , Taborda-Barata1 Luís , Irion2 Klaus
Published: September 2022

Many health systems have been using coronary CT angiography (CCTA) as a first-line examination for ischaemic heart disease patients in various countries. The rising number of CCTA examinations has led to a significant increase in the number of reported incidental extracardiac findings, mainly in the chest. Pulmonary nodules are the most common incidental findings on CCTA scans, as there is a substantial overlap of risk factors between the population seeking to exclude ischaemic heart disease and those at risk of developing lung cancer (i.e., advanced age and smoking habits). However, most incidental findings are clinically insignificant and actively pursuing them could be cost-prohibitive and submit the patient to unnecessary and potentially harmful examinations. Furthermore, there is little consensus regarding when to report or actively exclude these findings and how to manage them, that is, when to trigger an alert or to immediately refer the patient to a pulmonologist, a thoracic surgeon or a multidisciplinary team. This pictorial essay discusses the current literature on this topic and is illustrated with a review of CCTA scans. We also propose a checklist organised by organ and system, recommending actions to raise awareness of pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, cardiologists and radiologists regarding the most significant and actionable incidental findings on CCTA scans.
International education narratives. Transdisciplinary educative innovation experiences based on bilingual teaching
Authors: Lara Palma Ana María , Brotóns Cano Rafael
Published: September 2022

Internationalization in the academic world allows transferring knowledge, thus enriching the cognitive abilities and transversal skills of students. This source of knowledge allows teachers to share experiences, increase work agreements between faculties and participate in other visions and learning models. This book encapsulates several international academic experiences between faculties, companies and institutions from 6 countries (Germany, France, Japan, Portugal, Spain and USA) and 15 organizations. In total, 21 participants (academics, students and experts) from various disciplines. The work is divided into chapters with individual or group narratives that recount the international experiences of professors and students who over the years have been collaborating with the Burgos University in different actions and commitments. All this reveals internationalization as a way of tacit evaluation and continuous improvement of university educational models.
The Effect of a Ground Brace with a Spacer on the Displacement and Bearing Capacity of a Horizontally Loaded Single Pile
Authors: Меразка М. , Ким М. С.
Published: September 2022

Постановка задачи. Исследуется влияние присоединенного к стволу сваи лежня с распоркой на перемещения и несущую способность сваи при горизонтальных нагрузках и сравниваются полученные в ходе эксперимента результаты с результатами испытаний одиночной сваи. Результаты. Установлено заметное влияние наличия лежня на перемещение свайного фундамента. При равных нагрузках у свай с лежнем горизонтальное перемещение и угол поворота головы сваи до 2÷3 раз меньше, чем у сваи без лежня. Увеличение длины распорки приводит к уменьшению горизонтального перемещения головы сваи до 1,6 раза и угла поворота до 1,9 раза по сравнению со сваей с лежнем, но без распорки. Несущая способность сваи с лежнем при увеличении длины распорки от 0 до 3 d , где d - диаметр поперечного сечения сваи, возрастает до 1,66 раза больше, чем у сваи без лежня и распорки. Выводы. Экспериментально проверена зависимость повышения несущей способности сваи от наличия лежня с распоркой. Результаты испытаний демонстрируют значительное влияние наличия лежня с распоркой на горизонтальные и вертикальные перемещения сваи, а также на уменьшение угла поворота головы сваи.

Statement of the problem. The influence of a ground brace with a spacer attached to the pile trunk on the movement and bearing capacity of piles under horizontal loads is investigated and the results obtained during the experiment are compared with the test results of a single pile. Results. A noticeable effect of the presence of a bed on the movement of the pile foundation has been established. With equal loads, piles with a bed have horizontal movement and the angle of rotation of the pile head is up to 2÷3 times less than those without a bed. An increase in the length of the strut leads to a decrease in the horizontal movement of the pile head up to 1.6 times and the angle of rotation up to 1.9 times compared to that with a bed, but without a strut. The bearing capacity of a pile with a bed increases up to 1.66 times with an increase in the length of the spacer from 0 to 3d, where d is the diameter of the cross-section of the pile. Conclusions. The dependence of the increase in the bearing capacity of the pile on the presence of a bed with a spacer was experimentally verified. The test results demonstrate a considerable ffect of the presence of a bed with a spacer on the horizontal and vertical movements of the pile, as well as on the decrease in the angle of rotation of the pile head.

Introduction. Computer networks (CN) are highly developed systems with a multi-level hierarchical structure. The use of information and communication technologies in the CN to collect information allows an attacker to influence networks through cyber-attacks. This is facilitated by the massive use of outdated operating systems, ineffective protection mechanisms and the presence of multiple vulnerabilities in unsecured network protocols. Such vulnerabilities help a potential attacker to change the settings of network devices, listen and redirect traffic, block network interaction and gain unauthorized access to the internal components of the CN. The impact of cyber-attacks leads to the appearance of abnormal traffic activity in the CN. For its constant monitoring and detection in the CN, it is necessary to take into account the presence of a large number of network routes, on which sharp fluctuations in data transmission delays and large packet losses periodically occur, new properties of network traffic appear, which requires ensuring high quality of application service. All this served as an incentive to search for new methods of detecting and predicting cyber-attacks fractal analysis can also be attributed to them. The aim of the work is to develop a conceptual method for detecting anomalies caused by cyber-attacks in network traffic through the use of fractal analysis. Methods used. The main provisions of the fractal theory and the use of self-similarity assessment methods proposed by this theory, such as the extended Dickey-Fuller test, R/S analysis and the DFA method, are applied. When testing fractal methods that allow conducting studies of long-term dependencies in network traffic. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the proposed method correctly identifies anomalies caused by the impact of cyber-attacks, and also allows you to predict and detect both known and unknown computer attacks at an early stage of their manifestation. Practical significance. The presented methodology can be used as an early detection system for cyber-attacks, based on the detection of anomalies in network traffic and the adoption of effective measures to protect the network.

Introduction. There are a number of factors influencing and accelerating erosion processes. At the same time, the erosion of the soil itself plays an important role. To assess the erosion state of soils, various methods and means of remote sensing are widely used. The purpose of the study. The purpose of the study is to somewhat simplify the well-known multiplicative model for studying soil erosion in forests by some combination of indicators of individual factors and the formation of new composite functionals – indicators of vegetation stress as part of an improved model. Methods. The functionals introduced in the article can be considered as indices of the state of plants in forest areas. The first component in these functionals is an indicator of stress, i.e. the greater this component, the deeper the state of stress of the plant. At the same time, the second component in these functionals is an indicator of the healthy state of vegetation. Therefore, in general, the weighted average of these indicators is an indicator of the state of vegetation. Results. An extremal property of this functional, called the plant state functional, is shown. It is determined that this functional can be defined as a linearly weighted or geometric mean. In the first case, in the graph of the dependence of this functional on the indicator of the reflected signal in the Green zone, to the right of the extremum (minimum) point, there is a zone of deterioration in the state of vegetation, and to the left is an improvement zone. In the second case, when using the geometric mean, this picture changes as follows: conditions are revealed when the extremum turns into a minimum or maximum. In the case of a maximum, to the right of the maximum point there is a zone of improvement in the state of vegetation, and to the left of deterioration. Practical depend_ ency. Based on the results obtained, new methods can be developed to assess the state of soil erosion using the results of spectral remote sensing. in forests. Discussion. The issue of assessing soil erosion in forest areas is considered. Based on the well-known model of soil erosion in forest areas, an improved erosion model is proposed that contains an extreme functional of the state of vegetation, depending on two indica% tors characterizing the nitrogen content in the plant and the stress level, respectively. The introduction of such an extreme factor into the multiplicative erosion model makes it possible to more objectively assess the degree of soil erosion.

In this study, a fluid is expelled by the suction process from the intermediate space between to porous plates in transverse movement in order to model the functioning of a compartment of a rocket motor. This transverse motion of the plates can reduce or increase the flow domain in order to enhance the performance of the motor. From a theoretical point of view which is the present contribution, the problem is described by the velocity and the pressure gradient known as the flow field components which are determined under different values of the Reynolds number and the expansion or contraction ratio representing the control parameters of the problem. It is found that, the decrease of the magnitude of the axial pressure gradient by expanding the space occupied by the fluid causes flow reversal in the case of low suction Reynolds numbers. The reduction of the flow domain increases the magnitude of the axial pressure gradient and destroys the backward flow for all the suction Reynolds numbers. This reduction or contraction of the flow field causes a linear profile of the radial velocity and a linear behavior of the axial pressure gradient.

Vitamin D plays a role in the process of melanogenesis, namely increasing L-Dopa cells, inducing differentiation of immature melanocytes, and increasing melanocyte activity. The use of vitamin D in dermatology is in the treatment of vitiligo, psoriasis vulgaris, atopic dermatitis, verruca vulgaris, and alopecia. Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease of the skin in the form of depigmentation due to the destruction of melanocytes by T cells. The clinical manifestations of vitiligo are white macular lesions and no scale, asymptomatic, and symmetrical. Vitiligo can affect the patient's quality of life, so accurate therapy is needed. Standard therapy in vitiligo needs further research to find accurate therapy with minimal side effects. Topical vitamin D is a vitiligo therapy with minimal side effects. Several types of topical vitamin D with therapeutic effects in the field of dermatology are calcipotriol, calcitriol, tacalcitol, maxacalcitol, and hexafluoro-1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 with various dosages and preparations. The role of vitamin D in melanogenesis and immunomodulators as monotherapy or in combination with topical corticosteroids has been shown to be effective in the treatment of vitiligo. This literature review was on the role of topical vitamin D in the treatment of vitiligo.

This study investigated the effectiveness of school meal provision in improving female students’ academic performance in community secondary schools in Morogoro Municipality. A total of 253 respondents were randomly selected to participate in the study through questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussions, and document reviews. Data was analysed through descriptive statistics. The study established regarding the effectiveness of school meals in improving female students’ academic performance and found that the provision of school meals reduced absenteeism, lateness, and dropout rate, while also improving students’ concentration, involvement in classroom tasks and classroom management. The study recommends that effective provision of food should be extended to all schools across the Municipal. School administration should ensure the provision of a balanced diet so that learners can enjoy the food and have better health. Government authorities and other interested groups should also strive to sustain effective food provision in order to raise the level of female students’ participation in learning.

Despite their gastrointestinal side effects, oral iron supplements are the first-line therapy in iron deficiency anemia. This study aims to compare different iron formulations in anemic outpatients. One-hundred and six outpatients with sideropenic microcytic hypochromic anemia (Hb < 12 g/dL for women, Hb < 13 g/dL for men) were enrolled and divided into two groups (Hb > 10 g/dL and Hb < 10 g/dL). One group was randomized (1:1) to receive sucrosomal ferric pyrophosphate or micronized microencapsulated ferric pyrophosphate, while the other group was randomized (1:1:1) to receive sucrosomal ferric pyrophosphate, micronized microencapsulated ferric pyrophosphate or intravenous ferric gluconate. After 3 months of follow-up, hemoglobin was significantly higher in the micronized microencapsulated ferric pyrophosphate group than in the sucrosomal ferric pyrophosphate group (1.87 vs 1.10; P = 0.04). No significant difference in adverse events was registered between the two groups. In patients with Hb > 10 g/dL, the pyrophosphate or micronized microencapsulated ferric pyrophosphate (30 mg/day) treatment in combination with folic acid (400 mcg), lactoferrin (10 mg), and vitamin C (180 mg) we found out to bring in a significant increase in hemoglobin, without any significant side effects. The reason for this effectiveness is probably due to its favorable bioavailability. Further comparative studies are needed with other forms of iron.
