Detection of Carbapenemase Production in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates by Rapid Carbapenemase Detection Method in an OXA-48 Endemic Region
Authors: Çizmeci Zeynep
Published: June 2024

Background: Carbapenem resistance is one of the major global public health threats caused by the overuse or misuse of carbapenems, which are often the last resort in treating multidrug-resistant infections. Today, timely detection of carbapenemase-producing organisms is critical for infection control. Therefore, rapid and accurate detection of carbapenemases using a cost-effective method with high sensitivity and specificity is essential to guide appropriate treatment and prevent further spread. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity of the newly developed rapid carbapenemase detection method (rCDM) with isolates whose resistance genes were determined by molecular methods and to compare it with the modified carbapenem inactivation method (mCIM), whose diagnostic performance characteristics are well-defined. Methods: A total of 130 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates (65 carbapenem-susceptible, 65 carbapenem-resistant) from various clinical specimens were included in the study. Identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing of the isolates was performed using the BD Phoenix™ automated system. Phenotypic carbapenemase detection methods, mCIM and rCDM, were studied for all carbapenem-sensitive and carbapenem-resistant isolates with known resistance genes. Results: Among carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates, blaOXA-48 was the most frequently detected resistance gene (78%). Using PCR results as the reference method, the sensitivity of rCDM was 100%. When rCDM and mCIM results were compared, both phenotypic methods were 100% compatible, with no statistically significant difference observed. Conclusions: Rapid carbapenemase detection method is a rapid and reliable phenotypic carbapenemase detection method with high sensitivity. Its ease of use and interpretation make it suitable for use in laboratories with limited resources. Additionally, its excellent performance in detecting common carbapenemase types and high consistency with mCIM support its utility in various laboratory settings without requiring additional materials or technical infrastructure.

Authors: Babazadeh Niloufar , Pourrajab Fatemeh , Goodarzvand Chegini Koorosh
Published: June 2024

Background: The beneficial effects of mannose, metformin, and orlistat in inhibiting cancer cells have been reported previously. Objectives: A study was conducted here to investigate their impact on Nalm-6 lymphoid cell survival and apoptosis separately and in combination. Methods: The nalm-6 cells were meticulously cultured in RPMI1640 medium. The IC50 of drugs was calculated using the MTT method. Cells were incubated with the examined concentrations of drugs for 48 hours in a 96-well plate. The expression of PD-1 and GFAT1 genes was evaluated using real-time PCR based on the SYBR Green® method. Apoptosis was detected by staining cells with DAPI and observing them through fluorescent microscopy. The groups were compared using ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test, ensuring the robustness of the results. Results: Separate and concomitant treatment with metformin, mannose, and orlistat was associated with reduced survival, improved apoptosis, and decreased expression of PD-1 and GFAT1 in the Nalm-6 cell line. Meanwhile, the concomitant use of mannose plus metformin and mannose plus orlistat had beneficial synergistic effects on the survival of the studied cells. Conclusions: Treatment of Nalm-6 cells with the studied compounds was associated with beneficial effects on inhibiting these cells.

Authors: Elbanna Amr G. , Shoman Walaa , Elheneidy Moushira A.R. , Elsawy Ihab , Kantar Ahmad , Fasseeh Nader
Published: July 2024

Background: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a chronic respiratory illness that places significant strain on the healthcare system due to the complexity and expense of its diagnosis and treatment methods. The diagnostic process typically requires skilled technicians and an assortment of intricate, costly, and time-consuming approaches. Implementing screening tools can enhance efficiency by focusing the diagnostic process on those strongly suspected of having PCD. Tools such as the PCD Rule (PICADAR), North America Criteria Defined Clinical Features (NA-CDCF), the Clinical Index Score (CI), and the newly proposed CInew13 could potentially serve as useful screening tools. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of these tools individually, compare their performance against each other, and assess their results relative to prior research. Methods: We conducted a diagnostic accuracy test on 83 Egyptian patients referred to Alexandria University Children’s Hospital for potential PCD diagnosis between January 2015 and December 2022. The scores obtained from the screening tools were calculated and assessed. Results: Of the initial group, 10 patients were ruled out because they fit other diagnostic parameters. Forty-three cases received a confirmed diagnosis, while 30 did not. Notably, the confirmed cases consistently scored higher on our screening tools than those that remained unconfirmed (p <.001, for all tested scores). We used receiver operating characteristic curves to assess and compare the effectiveness of each tool. The NA-CDCF had the smallest area under curve 0.736 (95% confiedence interval 0.619-0.832); in contrast, the CI score had the largest 0.898 (95% confidence interval 0.808-0.957). Conclusion: All the tools tested were effective in identifying suitable patients for PCD testing at statistically significant levels. However, the PICADAR and NA-CDCF scores’ performance did not significantly differ in the current study. The CI and CInew13 scores, on the other hand, outperformed both.

New Frontiers in Epistemic Evaluation
Authors: Nagel Jennifer ,   Saint Louis University
Published: July 2024

In forming groups—corporations, teams, academic departments, juries—humans gain new ways of acting in the world. Jennifer Lackey argues that groups need to be held responsible for their actions, and therefore need to be subject to epistemic evaluation. To criticize receptive or reckless behavior on the part of a corporation, for example, we need some account of what it is for a group to believe something, and for a group belief to be justified. In Lackey’s account, group epistemic states are a function of the states of individual operative members. After raising some difficulties for her formulation of this function, this article raises questions about Lackey’s operative-member account can apply to new types of group agent, with a particular focus on the epistemic status of algorithmic systems that harvest human data.

Educational Environment in the Implementation of Character Education
Authors: Cholifah Siti , Faelasup
Published: June 2024

Character education has become a major focus in modern education, with the recognition that the formation of strong character is an important aspect in the formation of quality individuals. The educational environment, which includes schools, parents, communities and technology, plays a crucial role in the implementation of character education. In this abstract, we explore the role of each element of the educational environment in shaping individual character. Schools provide the structure and curriculum that support character learning, while teachers serve as the main agents in providing role models and guidance. Parents play a central role as the primary models for children, while interactions within the community provide important social experiences. Technological developments, while providing wide access to information, also pose new challenges in character building, emphasizing the importance of integrating character values in the use of technology. Collaboration between all these elements of the educational environment is key in creating individuals who have strong, quality character and are able to contribute positively to society. Through holistic understanding and cooperation, it is hoped that positive character building can become a solid foundation for future generations.

Academic pursuits in the study of music: Reflections on artificial intelligence
Authors: Muranda Richard
Published: June 2024

This article explores current and emerging trends in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the academic study of music amidst the ever-changing technologies. Through the technology determinism theory, technology-mediated learning, and unified theory of acceptance and use of technology the researcher engaged a qualitative research to examine the experiences of 10 lecturers and 40 students randomly sampled from Great Zimbabwe University (GZU), Midlands State University (MSU) and the University of Zimbabwe (UZ) on how they engaged in teaching, learning and research using AI. The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) brought novel ways of teaching-learning and research. Different AI has disrupted traditional models of education. Education now rides on AI hence the need to embrace them. There are AI resources to detect plagiarism, find answers to essay questions, provide meanings to terms, referencing systems to sources of information, analyse data, engage in music programming, mixing and mastering of music. Lecturers used Bard, Bing AI, ChatGPT, Gemini, Google Scholar, and WhatsApp to engage in teaching. Students used AI to write assignments, and acquire knowledge in teaching-learning and research. Some institutions have a dilemma in accepting AI resources. The research informs that AI resources are both useful and destructive however, mature academics capitalise on the positive aspects of AI in the academic study of music. The involvement of humans in AI guarantees to verification of ideas, support to knowledge acquisition, and reinforcement of key concepts.
Autoethnographic Memoirs of Rimba Resonance Vibes Ensemble Festival Performances
Authors: Maguraushe Wonder
Published: June 2024

Marimba music performance practice has emerged globally in hundreds of marimba ensembles since the Kwanongoma marimba was designed in Bulawayo in the 1960s. The purpose of the study is to explore, the situation of marimba performance within Zimbabwe from an emic perspective. The country has a fledgling economy which is a push factor leading to the problem of about eighty-five percent of the population intending to relocate to other countries. This has not spared the marimba music industry as numerous marimba builders, performers and tutors have already, or intend to migrate. In this autoethnography I present perspectives on my marimba music performance experiences at local and regional festivals in Zimbabwe and South Africa. I conduct a qualitative autoethnographic exploration of Rimba Resonance Vibes Ensemble’s performances, describe the culture of Zimbabwe marimba music performance practices, and reflect on various permutations of the practice in which the art has been kept alive in Zimbabwe in the wake of a brain drain. The findings show multiple challenges that we face as marimba musicians. There is a glaring need for agency and advocacy to sustain the art of marimba music performance by bands based in Zimbabwe.

Authors: Yayla Erdoğan
Published: June 2024

Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important component of clinical microbiology informatics. Researchers, microbiologists, laboratorians, and diagnosticians are interested in AI-based testing because these applications have the potential to improve the turnaround time, quality, and cost of a test. Artificial intelligence which has gained importance in the laboratory, is used to support decision-making, identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing with various technologies, image analyses, and MALDI-TOF-MS in medical microbiology and in infectious disease testing. Treatment of infections requires rapid and accurate identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Modern artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) methods can now complete tasks with performance characteristic comparable to those of expert human operators. As a result, many healthcare fields combine these technologies, including in vitro diagnostics and, more broadly laboratory medicine, incorporate these technologies. These technologies are rapidly being developed and disclosed, but by comparison, their application so far has been limited. We need to further establish best practices and improve our information system and communications infrastructure to promote the implementation of reliable and advanced machine learning-based technologies. İnvolvement of the clinical microbiology laboratory community is essential to ensure that laboratory data is adequately accessible and thoughtfully incorporated into robust, safe and clinically effective ML-supported clinical diagnoses and such technological adjustments will lead to future breakthroughs in microbiology laboratories.
Legal and Technical Challenges of Developing Robust Traceability Systems for Genetically Modified Organisms
Authors: Patel Mohasina
Published: June 2024

This article examines the legal and technical challenges in developing effective traceability systems for genetically modified organisms (GMOs), focusing on the European Union's Directive 2001/18/EC framework. Using qualitative research methods and a doctrinal approach, we analyze legal texts, case law, and scholarly literature to evaluate current regulations and tracking technologies. Our objective is to identify key barriers to implementing comprehensive traceability and propose potential solutions within existing legal frameworks. The study employs content analysis of EU directives, particularly Directive 2009/41/EC on the contained use of GMMs, and conducts semi-structured interviews with legal experts and regulators. Results indicate significant complexities in harmonizing tracking across member states and technical challenges in maintaining the "high level of protection" mandated by EU law. We recommend refining legal definitions, enhancing risk assessment protocols, and exploring advanced detection methods compatible with current regulations. This research contributes to ongoing debates on balancing scientific innovation, environmental protection, and consumer rights in governance.

Meningococcal infection is a severe illness that can result in organ damage or death. On 23 Oct 2023, a joint investigation team was notified about two inmates diagnosed with meningococcal infection in a provincial prison. The investigation aimed to confirm the outbreak, describe epidemiological characteristics, determine possible source and risks of infection, and provide recommendations and control measures. This study reviewed the situation using surveillance databases. Active case finding was conducted among inmates and prison staff. Close contacts were identified and assessed. Drug sensitivity and serogroup identification were done in the cultured-growth specimens. Surveying inmate rooms, observing inmates' behaviors, and interviewing inmates and prison staff were performed. There were 7 laboratory-confirmed cases identified (attack rate 0.5%). All cases were male inmates with a median age of 46 years (interquartile range 38.5–49.5 years). Common symptoms were fever (100%) and headache (71%). Eight cases required hospital admission and one dead case was found (CFR 14%). Among 609 close contacts, 99% were inmates. All cultured-growth specimens were Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B with ciprofloxacin resistance. Crowded inmates and sharing water cups were risk factors for intra-room spreading. Daily activities and the previous influenza outbreak promoted inmates' inter-room contact. This is the ciprofloxacin-resistant serogroup B meningococcal disease outbreak in a provincial prison revealing multiple factors, including environmental, behaviors and daily activities, that promoted the disease's spread. Rifampicin chemoprophylaxis, active surveillance, and limited inmate activities could help reduce disease spread.

Authors: Kuppaуeva Botagoz
Published: June 2024

Abstract. The most fundamental thing in the political heritage of A. Bukeikhanov is the idea of national-state self-determination; it was put forward by him and his associates, who devoted all their efforts to its implementation, proclaiming the state «Alash-Orda» in December 1917. The life, socio-political, as well as scientific activities of Alikhan Bukeikhanov – all this served the greatness of Kazakhstan. He embodied the moral and political choice of the people, which, largely thanks to him, was embodied in the normal, without political battles and bloody showdowns, path of development of the state of Kazakhstan. It is necessary to emphasize the extremely positive contribution of the Kazakh leader, which he made to the formation of independent statehood at the first most difficult stage of our new history.
The article, based on broad scientific and historical material, reveals both the biography and socio-political activities of a prominent public and government figure, scientist, talented publicist, as well as the leader and organizer of the national democratic party «Alash», head of the first Kazakh national government «Alashorda» - A. Bukekhanova. The activities of the Alash party, as is known, formed the fundamental basis for the state development of the Kazakh steppe, anticipating the future of independent Kazakhstan.
