Published: January 2022

Objective: This study determined the occurrence and distribution of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) genotypes of E. coli isolates in Ho Teaching Hospital, Ghana.Design: A cross-sectional study.Setting: A single centre study was conducted at Ho Teaching Hospital of Ghana.Participants: Patients who visited Ho Teaching Hospital Laboratory with the request for culture and susceptibility testing.Main outcome measure: Escherichia coli were isolated, and Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase genes were detected.Results: Of the 135 isolates, 56(41.5%,95% CI: 33.1% – 50.3%) were ESBL producers. More males, 14(58.3%), produced ESBL than females, 42(37.8%). The ESBL prevalence was highest among the elderly who were 80 years and above 3(100.0%), with the least prevalence among patients within 50-59 years and 0-9 years age bracket, representing 4(25.0%) and 3(27.3%), respectively. The total prevalence of ESBL was marginally higher among out-patients (41.8% 95% CI: 31.9% - 52.2%) compared to in-patients [40.5% 95% CI: 24.8% - 57.9]. BlaTEM-1 was the predominant ESBL genotype obtained from 83.9% (47/56) of the confirmed ESBL producing isolates, with the least being TOHO-1 4(7.1%). The co-existence of 2 different ESBL genes occurred in 19(33.9%) of the isolates. The single and quadruple carriage were 16(28.6%) and 3(5.4%), respectively. The highest co-existence of the ESBL genotypes was recorded for blaTEM-1 and blaCTXM-1 15(26.8%), followed by blaTEM-1, blaCTXM-1 and blaSHV-73 [12(21.4%)].Conclusion: The high prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli isolates with multiple resistant gene carriage is a threat to healthcare in the study area.
Endovascular repair of symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm: a seminal case in West Africa
Authors: Wu Lily , O. Botwe Benard
Published: January 2022

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a fatal disease with high perioperative morbidity and mortality. Endovascular AAA repair (EVAR) is associated with remarkable improvement in the morbidity, mortality and length of hospital stay relative to open operative repair. We report a 79-year-old man with epigastric pain, which was diagnosed to be due to AAA on a computerised tomography angiogram (CTA). His only risk factor was hypertension. He had endovascular repair in 2018, the first-ever in Ghana and West Africa. 2021 is the 3rd year of surveillance post- EVAR with no disease progression or complication. This seminal case is a beacon of hope in Ghana’s resource-constrained healthcare system.

Objectives: To assess the prevalence and predictors of non-adherence to clinic appointments in adult patients with poorly controlled hypertension.Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study.Setting: A primary care setting (family medicine clinic) overseen by family physicians in Kano, Nigeria.Participants: Two hundred and thirty-four randomly selected patients, aged ≥ 18 years with a diagnosis of hypertension, who had been on treatment for ≥1 year and had a current blood pressure of ≥140/90 mmHg were included.Main outcome measures: Non-adherence to clinic appointment among participantsResults: Participants’ mean age was 55±12.2 years (range: 23-85 years); they were predominantly females (163, 69.7%). Sixty (25.6%) participants were non-adherent to clinic-appointments. Being employed (OR [Odds ratio] =2.92, 95%CI [confident interval] =1.52-5.65, P=0.002), inability of participants or their children to pay the medical bills (OR=2.92,95%CI=1.42-6.00, P=0.004), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) of <160mmHg (OR=0.43, 95%CI=0.22-0.86, P=0.018) were predictors of clinic appointment non-adherence.Conclusions: The prevalence of non-adherence to clinic appointments was high. Being employed, patients or their children's inability to pay medical bills, and higher SBP were predictors of non-adherence to clinic appointments. Therefore, more studies are needed on effective interventions to reduce non-adherence to clinic appointments in this setting.

Authors: Castorena-Palacios Susuki , Nieto-Ortega Eduardo , Macedo-Falcon Diana Ali , Peón Alberto N.
Published: January 2022

Background: drug-drug interactions are a frequent cause of adverse drug reactions, the use of more than 5 drugs is significantly related to serious interactions. Comorbidities in patients have precipitated the frequency of polypharmacy, which produces an enhanced incidence of morbidity and mortality, hospital stay and costs. Materials and methods: 50 records of hospitalized patients were analyzed in the period from May to July 2019, a search for drug interactions was carried out with the help of Medscape Drug-Interactions Checker and the Drugs Interactions Checker. Results: 68% of the records presented at least one pharmacological interaction, the majority associated with musculoskeletal pathology and abdominal pain syndrome (45 and 29%, respectively). On the other hand, 48% of the interactions were related to the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and the use of opioid pain relievers combined with sedatives or anesthetics. Conclusions: there is a significant incidence in drug interactions, most of them related to poor pain management, however, it is essential to know the pathophysiology of each patient's disease, and to understand that the benefit must be greater than the risk when indicating the best therapy for the patient.
Traders Network before Market Crashes
Authors: Yalamova Rossitsa
Published: January 2022

The goal is to reveal scale-dependent topology of the network structure of stock market participants. The correlation structure of stock price series reveals the correlation network between traders. The partition decoupling method reveals the topological structure. The relation of the structural organization to dynamical complexity involves synchronization of trading that may lead to crashes. Log-periodic oscillations of index prices as precursory patterns of crashes are hypothesized to appear as a result of information cascade and herding among traders.
Using Machine Learning Algorithms to Detect Anomalies in the Solar Heating System
Authors: Kunelbayev Murat , Assel Abdildayeva , Guldana Taganova
Published: January 2022

This article explores the use of machine learning algorithms to identify anomalies in the solar heating system. A solar heating system that has been developed consists of several parts to simplify the description and modeling process. The authors propose a new architecture for neural networks based on ordinary differential equations. The idea is to apply the new architecture for practical problems of accident prediction (the problem of extrapolation of time series) and classification (classification of accidents based on historical data). The developed machine learning algorithms, artificial intelligence techniques, the theory of differential equations - these directions allow us to build a model for predicting the system's accident rate. The theory of database management (non-relational databases) - these systems allow you to establish the optimal storage of large time series.

This article is a literature review. This study aims to critically as well as comprehensively analyze engagement as an independent (X) and dependent (Y) variable. There are 15 articles that were reviewed with quantitative criteria and influence. The outcomes of this investigation found that the average followership score in the role of the X variable was 0.3957, in the 3rd class interval, which was between 0.323 – 0.414 with a fairly low category. While the average follow-up score as the Y variable is 0.385833, which is in the 4th class interval, which is between 0.379 - 0.501 in the high category. Based on the findings, the authors conclude that (1) followers as variable X have characteristics that are proactive, critical of the situation that occurs in their organization, dare to express their views, and criticize the leadership for the good and success of the organization to which they are affiliated, scores that are in the low enough category range indicate to the reader that follower participation has not received attention from the leader to be given more space to contribute or because followers are generally the party being thought of, they think they don't need to think because someone has already thought about it, (2) follower, as a Y variable is characterized by that followers, are the party who thought so that he only needs to be obedient, committed, perform well so that the leader provides opportunities to continue to grow with his organization and continue to develop his competence to complete his duties through training designed by the leade.
THE EFFECT OF MOSAIC ON THE CONTENT OF THE PLANT CELL
Authors: Cook Melville T.
Published: January 2022

1. The mosaic pattern is indistinct on the very young leaves; becomes prominent with the growth of the leaves; then becomes less distinct with age. 2. The chlorotic areas tend to become green with age. This is probably due to the action of the sunlight on the chloroplasts. 3. The chloroplasts in the chlorotic areas are fewer in number and smaller than in the green areas. There is no evidence of disintegration. 4. The tendency of the chlorotic areas to become green with age is due to increase in number and size of the chloroplasts. 5. The chlorotic areas can be detected by cytological studies before the unfolding of the leaves. 6. The chlorotic areas increase in size by cell division and cell growth and not by the infection of surrounding cells or by a disintegration of the chloroplasts of the surrounding cells. 7. The formation of apparently new chlorotic areas in leaves is probably due to very small infected areas which increase in size with the general growth of the cells. 8. Green areas in a chlorotic area can be detected by cytological studies before they can be detected by the unaided eye. 9. The small size and number of chloroplasts is common to both sugar cane and tobacco when infected with mosaic. 10. The nuclei of diseased cane cells are usually enlarged or deformed, but this is not true of tobacco.

ONION-LEAF ANTHRACNOSE
Authors: Nolla J. A. B.
Published: January 2022

(1) An anthracnose disease of the leaves and bulb scales of the onion is described. (2) Market onion (Allium cepa L.) and a multiplier variety of Allium cepa L. often referred to as false shallot are affected. (3) There does not exist any resistance in the yellow, red or white varieties to the disease. (4) Tropical varieties of onion are as susceptible as the temperate- zone types. (5) Plants of all ages are equally susceptible. (6) The symptoms on the leaves may be described as elliptic or oval spots. On red varieties a red stain appears on young lesions. (7) The pathogene is described as a new species, Colletotrichum Chardonianum. (8) Growth of the causal fungus in carbohydrate media was excellent. It was especially good in starch-containing media. (9) Infection experiments under control conditions demonstrate the ability of C. Chardonianum to produce disease. Infection occurs primarily through the stomata but the germ tubes may penetrate through the cuticle. (10) Conidia germinate in water at a temperature of 21° C. in 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours. During germination of conidia, primary, secondary and even tertiary appresoria are produced. Also secondary conidia. Temperatures of 18° C. and 33° C. seem to inhibit germination, while conidia germinate readily at 25° C. In synthetic culture media the fungus grows best at a temperature of 27° C. In the field the disease appears during seasons when temperature is 23° C- 30° C. (11) The pathogene apparently lives over from one season to the other as mycelium in debris on the soil. (12) The conidia seem to resist the action of the sulphur fungicides. An effective action of copper fungicides, particularly colloidal copper, has been observed in laboratory experiments.

INOVASI BISNIS PASCA ERA PANDEMI COVID 19 MELALUI KONSEP INTEGRASI SOSIAL
Authors: Elviera Chyntia Dewi
Published: January 2022

This paper aims to present opinions on how social integration can improve the community's economy and support existing economic activities. Here, social integration is needed so that this does not happen and besides that, social integration does not only unite people's thoughts but can also improve people's welfare if in the right context. Because as we know, Indonesia is currently being hit by an epidemic in which a lot of companies are harming the economy so that it disrupts the community's economy. Social integration is the process of creating unity, inclusion and participation at all levels of society in the diversity of personal characteristics so that everyone can be free to be who they want to be. Personal attributes include socioeconomic class, age, gender, sexual preferences and expressions, political ideas, ethnic and cultural characteristics, religion, nationality (country of origin), and geographic origin region, etc. Social integration allows people, regardless of their characteristics, to enjoy the same opportunities, rights and services available to the so-called dominant group. The business innovation in this paper is applied by applying AGIL theory through 4 important functions needed in the social integration system in meeting the economic needs of the transmigrant population and local residents: Adaptation (Adaptation), Goal Attainment (Achieving Goals), Integration (Integration), Latency (Latency). or Pattern Maintenance). Parsons explains his AGIL concept through a structural system of actions that includes behavioral organisms, social systems, cultural systems and personality systems. Behavioral organisms are action systems that carry out adaptation functions by adapting (adjusting) to the environment and also changing their external environment. While the personality system functions to carry out the function of achieving goals by setting system goals and mobilizing resources to achieve them. Then the social system copes with the function of integration by controlling the parts that are its components. Finally, the cultural system performs the function of maintaining patterns by providing a set of values and norms that motivate actors to act. Parsons' AGIL schema design is used at all levels in his system theory. In the language of the four parsons action systems using the AGIL scheme.

Authors: Abdula Datuali P , Centeno Lyn Marie , Salipada Tahir K.
Published: January 2022

Mindanao was placed under Martial Law when President Rodrigo Duterte declared the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus on May 23, 2017 by virtue of Proclamation No 216. The call was made in an attempt to control the spread of threat brought about by the armed rebel Maute Group when they sieged Marawi City. Previous studies argued that a state is economically developed when the markets regulate themselves and the government has less intervention over it. It also concluded that dictatorship or strong political participation, when temporarily held, promote economic development. This study assessed the status of economy of Cotabato City as one of the areas of trade and commerce in Mindanao being affected by the implementation of Martial Law. Martial Law in the Philippines was always viewed as the military, headed by its Commander-in-Chief, the President, taking total control of the political power thereby inflicting negative impact on the state’s economy. The economic status of Cotabato City during Martial Law implementation was evaluated specifically in terms of trades, investments, local employment and tourism. Results presented that despite of Martial Law period, Cotabato City’s state of economy, particularly its activities on trades, investments, local employment and tourism, is high. This study showed that political intervention during the Martial Law implementation, does not affect the status of a city’s economy

U Bosni i Hercegovini zbog tradicionalne ukorijenjenosti rodnih stereotipa u
socijalnoj i kulturnoj strukturi, bosanskohercegovačko društvo percipira nasilje u porodici kao
vaspitnu mjeru i stvar privatnog života. Problem nasilja u porodici se na taj način regeneriše i
nastavlja uslijed poricanja i šutnje većine članova društva, ali i nesistematičnog i nedosljednog
pristupa ovom problemu relevantnih državnih institucija. Jedan od ključnih problema je i
nedostatak sistematično prikupljenih i dostupnih podataka o broju slučajeva nasilja u porodici,

adekvatne primjene u praksi onemogućava efikasnu zaštitu i ne pruža sigurnost oštećenim
stranama, odnosno žrtvama nasilja u porodici. Zbog tih razloga postoji određeni nivo manjka
povjerenja u rad nadležnih zaštitnih mehanizama, zbog čega se veliki broj žrtava nasilja
ustručava od prijavljivanja akta nasilja nad njima. Nemali broj žrtava koje prijave nasilje u
velikom broju koriste svoje pravo da ne svjedoče protiv počinitelja, čime se stvara začarani
krug nasilja.
Tokom istraživanja obrađeni su i pravni aspekti nasilja u porodici u pogledu pozitivnog
prava, odnosno zakona te konvencija koje je ratificirala Bosna i Hercegovina na čelu s
Istanbulskom konvencijom. Države potpisnice Konvencije se obavezuju na sprovođenje njenih
odredaba, što u nekim slučajevima iziskuje donošenje novih zakona i odredaba u već postojeće
zakone u datoj državi.
Shodno rezultatima istraživanja koje je urađeno u sklopu rada, najveći problem nasilja
u porodici jeste neprijavljivanje nasilja od strane žrtve nasilja, te neadekvatan odgovor
nadležnih institucija na potrebe žrtve nasilja. Neophodno je ukazati na uočene nedostatke kako bismo doprinijeli prevenciji stvaranja “začaranog kruga” gdje društvo nije pravovremeno i
adekvatno pomoglo žrtvi nasilja. Stoga postoji mogućnost da žrtva postane zlostavljač, odnosno
počinioc nasilja može razviti stav da je nasilje prihvatljivo te može biti u korelaciji sa drugim
društvenim negativnim pojavama. Metode koje će biti korištene u izradi ovog rada su: metoda
komparacije i analize, metoda analiza sadržaja, metode ispitivanja, odnosno ankete i statistička
metoda.

Published: January 2022

Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Carotid endarterectomy for carotid stenosis is a proven method to reduce the incidence of cerebral infarction.

Subjects and methods: All carotid artery surgery patients at Dong Nai general hospital from January 2017 to October 2021. Retrospective case series.

Results: 64 patients were chosen, including 56 men (87.5%) and 8 women (12.5%), the average age is 69, 8 ± 9.8, 22 patients (34.8%) were symptomatic, 5 patients had carotid endarterectomy 2 times. Conventional endarterectomy with PTFE patch in 63 arteries (91.3%), eversion carotid endarterectomy in 6 arteries (8.7%). Post-operative results: 1 death due to bleeding (1.45%), 1 cerebral infarction (1.45%). Mid-term follow-up: 23.74 months. There was 1 death due to late bleeding after 2 months, 0 patients had ipsilateral cerebral infarction, 5 deaths from all causes (7.9%).

Conclusion: Carotid endarterectomy is a safe and effective method for stroke prevention. This method can be effectively deployed in tertiary hospitals.

Authors: Sơn Phung Duy Hong , Son Nguyen Tung , Phong Nguyen Huu , Uoc Nguyen Huu
Published: January 2022

Background: The hybrid procedure proved to be very suitable for Vietnamese conditions in the treatment of complex aortic diseases in the arch and on supra-renal lesion. There is a difficult situation where the ascending aorta is more dilated than can be accommodated by stent-grafts. Wrapping techique is a solution to this situation. Methods: Report on a clinical case of successful application of aortic wrap technique to treat complex aortic cross injuries at Cardiovascular and Thoracic Center, Viet Duc University Hospital. Results: A 73-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital because of sudden chest pain. History of high blood pressure, heart failure, dyslipidemia and hypothyroidism. MSCT revealed type B aortic dissection, left hemothorax complication, the entire ascending aorta and a part of cross dilated to 50mm (maximum stent-graft size is 46mm). Poor general condition, severe and complicated acute aortic injury, if the classic surgery requires total thoracic aorta replacement – ​​the risk of death is very high, so the hybrid solution is a reasonable choice if having the solution is to solve the problem to create a landing zone for stent-graft. Hybrid surgery was started with open sternotomy, bilateral aortic - carotid bypass with Dacron prothesis 9mm, using a large artificial vessel to wrap around the ascending aorta to reduce the medium size to 38mm. Drain and close the sternum. Next is endovascular intervention – installing a stent-grafts of 42x42x200 and 42x38x150 then 38x34x150 to the diaphragm, plug for left subclavian artery. Left pleural drainage. The patient was discharged 10 days after surgery. Follow-up after 2 years for good results. Conclusion: The hybrid procedure can still be applied in the situation of ascending aorta dilatation with wrapping technique – decreasing the size of the aorta to fit the size of the stent-graft in some high-risk situations. with classic surgery.

Cultural relativity, ethical relativism and the immutability of the human nature: Some considerations on philosophical anthropology
Authors: Acham Karl
Published: January 2022

Alfred Stein, em memória de quem esse artigo é dedicado, mantinha, enquanto filósofo da história, a crença em valores absolutos como obsoletos bem como, enquanto filósofo da ética, o convencimento sobre a aleatoriedade relativista-cultural na valoração moral da ação humana. De uma tal valoração aparece indicado reconstruir a ação adequadamente, ou seja, compreendê-la intencionalmente e explicá-la por meio da causalidade. No decorrer desse compreender e desse explicar, se deve fazer uma referência a isso que Stern com, entre outros, Blaise Pascal, chama de “a condição humana” (la condition humaine): o fato de que o humano é um ser consciente de si mesmo, de que ele é determinado por uma vontade de autopreservação, de que ele ama e odeia, de que ele sofre, busca escapar do sofrimento, de que ele sabe de sua mortalidade e, por fim, morre. De maneira semelhante à anthropéia physis de Thukydides, essas condições variantes resultam decorrer de ação bem diferentes e padrões de comportamento, de acordo com as especificidades da situação histórica – parecido com como um balão sobe, sob o efeito da mesma lei da gravidade, uma pedra, entretanto, cai ao chão. Seguindo essa construção compreensivo-explicativa da ação, vêm a sua valoração moral. Esta é, com Stein, guiada pelo princípio da liberdade como de um ser-livre de pressão e pelo princípio da maior minimização possível do sofrimento humano.
Uma indicação sobre como tratar filosoficamente o problema da inteligência artificial
Authors: Da Silveira José Atílio Pires Pires
Published: January 2022

O presente estudo apresenta uma proposta de aproximação ao problema da inteligência artificial.Nosso entendimento é que as abordagens para o problema da IA são de natureza dicotômica, o quecausa um impasse que impede o avanço da discussão. A maneira de lidar com a questão da IA forteque sugerimos é o resultado do cruzamento do pensamento de três filósofos do século XX, JohnLangshaw Austin (1911-1960), Reinhard Koselleck (1923-2006) e Douglas Hofstadter (1945). Austin,nos adverte quanto aos problemas falsos com os quais poderíamos encontrar se a configuraçãometafísica em que abordamos o assunto fosse dualista do tipo dicotômico. A reflexão sobre osobjetivos do projeto de IA é profundamente influenciada por modelos metafísicos dicotômicos, o quetorna o aviso de Austin altamente relevante para quem se predispõe a refletir sobre esse problema.Koselleck, apresenta uma possibilidade de superar o impasse dicotômico através de sua visãoestratificada do tempo histórico. Na concepção de Koselleck, o tempo histórico é constituído porcamadas que não formam pares de oposição, pois todos produzem efeitos um sobre o outro. Seumodelo temporal pressupõe outro arranjo metafísico, no qual as perspectivas de entendimento doque acontece são muito mais variadas e diversas do que as partes constituintes que formam um pardicotômico. Ao pensar o tempo como algo que pode ser estratificado, ele desenvolve uma novaconcepção de tempo que não é linear nem circular. Quanto a Hofstadter, ao lidar com a noção de voltaestranha, ele apresenta um movimento de pensamento que tem expressão nas artes e na matemática.Um arranjo de pensamento que, em nossa opinião, reúne as condições para superar os limitesimpostos pelo modo de pensar dicotômico aplicado ao problema da IA.
Liberdade e circunstância: A dialética da vida biográfica frente o drama da indeterminação ontológica
Authors: Da Costa Edson Ferreira
Published: January 2022

O tema da liberdade em Ortega é central na compreensão do que ele vai definir como sendo a vidahumana na sua dimensão histórica e biográfica. Partindo de uma concepção de vida como “quehacer”,é condição do humano exercitar a sua capacidade de escolha frente a indeterminação ontológica quemarca a vida de todo e qualquer indivíduo. A tarefa de definir sua trajetória de vida passa pela açãolivre do homem de escolher o que pretende projetivamente viver. Porém, essa dimensão projetivaencontra-se sempre dentro de um universo circunstancial que facilita ou dificulta o exercício daliberdade e impõe ao homem modos de ser que estão dentro de um universo histórico. Ao mesmotempo que viver é ser livre para elaborar a sua história de vida, esse fazer vital não acontece fora dadimensão circunstancial, porque sendo com a circunstância, o viver implica em contar com ela em todoe qualquer modo de ser no mundo.

O conceito de tempo: Conferência pronunciada para a Sociedade de Teólogos de Marburgo, julho de 1924
Authors: Werle Marco Aurélio
Published: January 2022

A conferência O conceito de tempo (1924), proferida para a Sociedade de Teólogosde Marburgo, situa-se no âmbito da analítica existencial de Ser e tempo, portanto, noâmbito do primeiro Heidegger, em que se trata da colocação da questão do ser a partirdo sentido (existencial) e, portanto, temporal do ser. Apesar das diferenças em relaçãoa Ser e tempo, sobretudo no que se refere a uma definição mais clara da questão do ser,uma vez que o tema é o ser do tempo tanto como a base do modo de ser do Dasein(ser-aí) quanto como a consequência de suas atitudes, podemos afirmar que estaconferência já constitui uma versão condensada do tratado de 1927. As principaisestruturas existenciais do ser do Dasein já se encontram nela delineadas. Este textofornece uma bela amostra de como, em meados dos anos 20, Heidegger se encontravanuma intensa elaboração de sua questão filosófica fundamental.
Man at the centre of technology. A philosophical investigation of anthropological knowledge in man-machine-interfaces
Authors: Liggieri Kevin
Published: January 2022

The paper aims to examine the construction, circulation, and transformation of knowledge about man (anthropological knowledge) in human-technology interaction in the 20th century. The analysis focuses on the prerequisites of the industrial working world and its implicit knowledge about human beings. However, the basis and starting point of technical adaptation is usually ignored: The concepts of “man” and the anthropological knowledge gained experimentally from a anthropocentric designed interface. Based on the concept of an intuitive interface design this problem will be investigated. The questions posed by this article as well as the objectives associated with them open up an interdisciplinary framework between philosophy of technology, philosophical anthropology and history of science given that they not only focus – by means of historical reconstruction – on historical changes in technological developments. They also address the issue of generation and transformation of anthropological knowledge in the definitions and interactions of “man” and “technology”.
