Authors: Ariyansah Riyan , Sunaryo Sunaryo , Sutoyo Sutoyo
Published: January 2023

Piezoelectric is one of the generators of electrical energy when the material is deflected due to pressure. Research has been done on the potential of the fins on the electric voltage produced by piezoelectric. The research method used is to observe the piezoelectric vibrating due to the flow of air passing through the bluff body resulting in a deflection of the fins to strike the piezoelectric and measuring the electric voltage. Changes in the speed of fins installed with piezoelectric dimensions, namely fin one length 12 cm and width 10 cm, fin two length 12 cm width 10 cm and tip width 12 cm, fin three length 12 cm, width 10 cm and tip width 14 cm. The research was conducted in a mini wind tunnel with wind speeds of 5 m/s, 7 m/s, and 9 m/s with a piezoelectric distance to the rhombus bluff body is 80 mm. The results obtained are fin 1 with a speed of 9 m/s produces an electric voltage of 5.15 volts, fin 3 with a speed of 9 m/s produces an electric voltage of 5.46 volts, and fin 4 with a wind speed of 9 m/s has the highest voltage value, namely 5.58 volts. The airflow as it passes through the end of the bluff body section causes the fin to move up and down. The greater the turbulence that occurs, the greater the air hitting the piezoelectric surface so that the value of the electric voltage becomes high.

Pendidikan dalam Lingkungan Keluarga dalam Perspektif Hadits
Authors: Kadir Abdul
Published: January 2023

This article tries to examine and study the position of the family as an educational environment in the perspective of the Prophet's hadith. In any learning activity, environmental factors play a very important role, because through the environment one's character, character and character can be developed. The environment gives its own style and color for human development. Family is the first environment for every child to get an education, even the family is the first bastion for every child to avoid hell. The study of hadith begins with mentakhrij hadiths related to the family environment, then carries out I'tibar sanad and review of sanad hadith and then explains the hadith on two things, namely; 1) fitrah is both good and bad potential at the same time, the possibility of being a Muslim and a polytheist. Simply put, fitrah here is defined as the potential to hold on to religion as well as the possibility of not holding on to religion. 2) The urgency of the family as an educational environment for a child. To develop a child's potential in a good direction, the first, foremost and very important educational environment for a child is the family environment, because children get their first experience with the family, especially from their parents.

Parents or mothers and fathers play an important and influential role in the education of their children. Therefore, parents and family as an educational environment need to take steps to develop a child's nature or potential. Among these steps is Luqmanul Hakim's educational model described in QS. Luqman (31): 12 – 19
El valor estético del texto original como eje del proceso de traducción: el Beowulf de J. R. R. Tolkien
Authors: García Carreño Ariadna
Published: January 2023

Este artículo consiste en un análisis de la traducción de Beowulf realizada por Tolkien en 1926. El objetivo es explorar las modificaciones que su proceso traductológico aplica a la aliteración, los kennings y los arcaísmos, rasgos estilísticos esenciales en la poesía anglosajona. Estos cambios resultan inevitables dadas 1) las diferencias entre las convenciones poéticas anglosajonas y el habla y la literatura inglesa contemporánea, y 2) las necesidades de la audiencia meta de Tolkien, sus alumnos en Oxford. Aun así, dichos cambios persiguen el propósito principal de Tolkien, que, influido por las ideas del New Criticism y el Modernismo, pretende mantener en la traducción el valor estético de los tres rasgos estilísticos mencionados. Seguimos la perspectiva teórica de Bassnett (1998) para indicar que la definición tradicional de ‘traducción’ como ‘copia’ del original no es suficiente para calificar la traducción de Tolkien: las innovaciones aplicadas convierten la traducción en un nuevo ‘original’.

Sobre la dinamicidad de Llull a través del Libro de Contemplación en Dios
Authors: Butiña Julia
Published: January 2023

Se exponen aspectos del rasgo dinámico del Llibre de Contemplació en Déu de Ramón Llull, vistos tanto desde su composición, como desde su proyección. Ello revitaliza la concepción del filósofo mallorquín en los orígenes de la corriente humanista, no sólo como divulgador de un nuevo saber sino de un revolucionario dinamismo aperturista, en el que en buena parte coincide con Dante.
lenguaje del «árbol de la luz»
Authors: Higuera Rubio José
Published: January 2023

Se muestran los distintos aspectos de la interpretación alegórica que utiliza Ramon Llull para plasmar un sentido espiritual y moral en los últimos capítulos del Llibre de la contemplació. Por una parte, la reflexión que proviene de los pensadores arabo-judíos del siglo xii, acerca del significado que los términos del lenguaje común pueden aportar a una descripción alegórica y ejemplarizante de las virtudes divinas. Este recurso es combinado por Llull con la enseñanza moral trasmitida por la Psychomachia de Prudencio que representa la lucha virtuosa entre cuerpo y alma. De otro lado, las gestas espirituales de la vulgata artúrica (o materia de Bretaña) aportan dos importantes recursos simbólicos que Llull se apropia: el árbol de la luz y la manzana.
The Silent Turn in Onutė Narbutaitė’s Creative Work: A Longing for the Existentialist Era
Authors: Landsbergytė Jūratė
Published: January 2023

Onutė Narbutaitė’s recent works exemplify her exceptional propensity for existentialist literature. Combined with views of the epoch, these works were inspired by the Thomas Mann Festival in Nida and revealed the composer’s inner world of suggestions, contexts, and colours. The placing of context in music became the new existentialist space in the composer’s work. Her style is formed, respectively, from the dramaturgical vaults of minimalism (Interludium, 1983) to the vibrating spectral soundscapes that purify fragility and penetration and link the sound of wind and a tense string with non-existence. Among such works is the trilogy that had evolved at the concert of Narbutaitė’s music at St Catherine’s Church on 17 November 2018. In her comments, Narbutaitė emphasises the unifying depth of these works: the fragility of the relationship between sound and silence, darkness and light, and the visual context breaking into the musical space. Primarily, it is an existential aspect of tension of stringed instruments in Was There a Butterfly? for chamber orchestra (2013), Just Strings and Light Wind above Them for string quartet (2017), and the trilogy of the author’s concert: Labyrinth for soprano and flute (2017), In the Emptiness for piano (2016), and Heliography for female voice, viola, cello, and Persian drums (2015). Being together with the authors of texts – Ingeborg Bachmann, Jorge Luis Borges (Labyrinth), Edmundas Gedgaudas, Vaidotas Daunys – is also very significant for the composer, because she herself is a poet longing for poetic expressionism. They add the touch of sound and silence with the meaning of the diary experience currently permeating Narbutaitė’s creative work and shaping her musical style with the semantic codes of expression of existentialist philosophy: tense strings, vibrating spaces, the soundscape prevailing at the edge of harmony and destruction – the glow of the European sunset.

Authors:   Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Bhabha Dental College, Bhopal (M.P), India, Mishra Nidhi
Published: January 2023

It is of interest to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound therapy as an adjuvant pain control modality in dysfunctions of the temporo mandibular joint. The study comprised 20 patients with TMJ issues who had received a clinical diagnosis of temporo mandibular disorders (TMDS). These patients underwent independent VAS evaluations for the intensity of pain, opening and closing of the mouth, and soreness of the muscles of mastication, including the masseter muscle, medial pterygoid muscle, lateral pterygoid muscle, and temporalis muscle, as well as additional auxiliary muscles. The chosen patients received ultrasonic treatment. The mean value of mouth opening before therapy was 39.51cm, with SD values of 7.61 cm. The mean value of mouth opening after therapy was 42.91 cm with SD values of 6.08.The findings were statistically significant, with a p-valueof0.021. The mean value of VAS in the TMJ area before therapy was 8.41 with SD values of 2.11.There was a reduction in the mean values of VAS after therapy, which was 3.11 with SD values of 1.12. The findings were significant statistically, with a p-value equal to 0.001. Thus, ultrasonographic therapy for temporomandibular joint pain demonstrated a considerable improvement in pain reduction and mouth opening. It is possible to view this therapy as the adjuvant methodology to control pain in disorders of TMJ.

Steam inhalations are often used to control viral infections of the respiratory tract such as common cold. The use of steam inhalation in combating SAR-CoV-2 infection has been also tried. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the various data available on the effect of steam inhalation on COVID-19 infection in a systematic manner. The guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) were used. We registered the protocol in PROSPERO, the International prospective register of systematic reviews. A search method to identify relevant studies using PICO questions was prepared. A total of 52 articles were screened for their relevance to the topic. Three articles were found to have insufficient data and ten articles could not pass our inclusion criteria. Total 3 articles could make the final list of articles based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Steam inhalation helps in symptomatic relief of COVID symptoms. But there is not much data available to reach a conclusion of its role in the treatment and prevention of COVID.

Published: January 2023

There is global digitalization. With the increased use of computers in the workplace, refraction & dry eye related health concerns are developing. This study is conducted to evaluate the effects of long-term computer use on tear production and evaporation. Thisis a cross-sectional study among 97 computer operators in a Tertiary care centre. Dry eye disease was assessed subjectively with the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire and objectively by performing Schirmer’s test and Tear Break-up Time (TBUT). Majority of participants (59.2%) were male’s age group between 36- 40 years. The prevalence of dry eye among the computer Operators was found to be 51%. Mean TBUT and mean Schirmer’s Test value for those with dry eye was 12.65s and 10.3mm respectively. This study showed that a positive relation between dry eye and computer usage. Computer users are predisposed to developing dry eye diseases. It is therefore necessary for them to go for regular ophthalmic examination to prevent dry eye symptoms and disease.
Formulation of a thermo-sensitive hydro-gel for ulcerative colitis treatment
Authors:   Sri Ramachandra Faculty of Pharmacy, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (DU), Porur, Chennai, India, Kuppusamy Sujatha
Published: January 2023

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes chronic intestinal inflammation in gastrointestinal (GI) tract, mainly in innermost lining of colonic mucosa. In any of the UC drug therapy regimens, maintaining remission is challenging and about 20-40% of patients don’t respond to conventional UC medications, namely, amino salicylates, steroids and immunosuppressive drugs. These agents can weaken the patient’s immune system thus enhancing the risk of infectious diseases. Therefore, in our exploration we probed to test marine-derived anti-inflammatory compounds as potential agents to treat UC. Fucoidan, a complex fucose-rich sulphated polysaccharide originated in edible brown algae with known anti-inflammatory properties was isolated from Turbinaria ornate. Collagen (Achillis tendon) is another agent that may provide a beneficial effect in wound healing and tissue regeneration. Collagen was also reported to possess anti-UC properties. Collagen has a limitation of being in solution form even at high concentrations. We therefore formulated fucoidan with collagen that underwent a sol-gel transition and yielded a gel like consistency in situ. This formulation showed sustained release of fucoidan for about 12 hours. The fucoidan, collagen and the fucoidan-collagen formulation were tested in the dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) induced colitis model in mice. In comparison to the vehicle treated group, fucoidan-collagen hydrogel formulation led to significant reduction in the clinical scores and rectal bleeding, which was higher than the reference standard, mesalamine and those seen with fucoidan and collagen given alone.

Published: January 2023

The strategy for the development of modern cities includes an analysis of a comfortable urban space, with the subsequent goal of improving the quality of life of the city's population. The main transit type of public space is the streets and avenues of cities. The study provides an analysis of the modern use of public space in city streets, as well as recommendations for the development and formation of a comfortable territory of Yekaterinburg streets for city residents. Recommendations after the analysis, when implemented, will allow the main city avenue to be not only comfortable for residents of Yekaterinburg, as well as visitors from other regions and foreign students, the avenue will attract domestic and foreign tourists even more. The subject of the study. Features of the current state of urban space and prospects for further modernization of urban areas and restoration of residential and public buildings. For the first time, the analysis of the current state of Lenin Avenue was carried out, the missing positions in the design code of the Yekaterinburg landscaping concept were identified and the points of recommendations for further implementation in architectural subject-spatial characteristics were indicated, taking into account sociological factors. To improve the organization of the public space of Lenin Avenue, it is proposed: 1. Exclude the presence of "visual noise" outside the points of attraction; 2. To restore the facades of residential and public buildings facing the avenue, including objects of historical and cultural heritage; 3. To give in general terms a unified design to small architectural forms; 4. Highlight an additional "image of the city"; 5. Creation of a full-fledged lighting line in a single style, along the entire avenue; 6. Organize linear landscaping along the roadway and pedestrian zone, plant perennial herbaceous plants; 7. Create a separate path for the bike infrastructure, additional bike parking; 8. Select a surface street pedestrian crossing instead of an underground one, with priority for pedestrians; 9. Exclude sidewalk fencing, which is not appropriate in this case.
Specific features of the action genre in video games of the late XX – early XXI century
Authors: Krutov Nikita Yurevich , Fedorovskaya Natalya Aleksandrovna
Published: January 2023

The object of the study was video games related to the so-called action genre. The disparate classifications of video games that currently exist in the scientific and user environment indicate that there is a problem of creating their typology, key characteristics and specific features that allow dividing genres among themselves have not yet been identified. The purpose of the article is to identify specific features of the action genre in modern video games. The main research methods are comparative and structural-functional, which allow to objectively show the essential characteristics of the genre under consideration. The results of the study show that the genre has not yet been considered comprehensively for the search for generalized features, which were partially mentioned in the studies of T. H. Kutlaliev, N. Y. Kazakova, N. A. Moshkova, I. I. Yugai, T. Epperly, etc. Personal contribution is seen in the fact that the authors purposefully search for genre-specific features, which will further contribute to the development of the genre typology of video games. It is established that the key features of the action genre are: activity that requires good coordination of movements from the player; dynamics that involves saturation with actions; conflict, as an obligatory component of the game; character – the presence of a hero, the action is carried out through a specific character. An important result of the study was that specific signs of action can be found in other genre varieties. The concept of "action" in them becomes an additional element that gives any game dynamics, activity, conflict.
Public attitude to the riots in Moscow during the escalation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
Authors: Vedernikova Maria Igorevna
Published: January 2023

The article briefly examines the history of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh and the prerequisites for the riots that took place in Moscow in July 2020. The paper presents the results of an anonymous sociological survey conducted immediately after the events in question in two regions of the Russian Federation (Moscow and the Voronezh Region). These regions were chosen based on the fact that one of them is directly the place of events (the city of Moscow), and the second is part of the Central Federal District (CFD) (Voronezh Region). The data obtained in the two regions do not differ dramatically. The purpose of the article is to identify the attitude of the Russian population to the riots that occurred on a national basis in Moscow, as well as how the population of various regions of Russia paid attention to the true cause of the riots. The survey showed that the majority of interviewees knew about the riots, but from 18% to 37% of respondents could not name the true cause of the riots. The development of further mass riots on the territory of Russia as a result of the aggravation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was avoided thanks to the prompt intervention of the power structures of the Russian Federation and the holding of meetings of representatives of power structures with official representatives of Azerbaijan and Armenia, as well as with the leadership of the Azerbaijani and Armenian diasporas in Russia.
Kindlin-2 inhibits TNF/NF-κB-Caspase 8 pathway in hepatocytes to maintain liver development and function

Published: January 2023

Inflammatory liver diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide; however, underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here we show that deleting the focal adhesion protein Kindlin-2 expression in hepatocytes using the Alb-Cre transgenic mice causes a severe inflammation, resulting in premature death. Kindlin-2 loss accelerates hepatocyte apoptosis with subsequent compensatory cell proliferation and accumulation of the collagenous extracellular matrix, leading to massive liver fibrosis and dysfunction. Mechanistically, Kindlin-2 loss abnormally activates the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) pathway. Blocking activation of the TNF signaling pathway by deleting TNF receptor or deletion of Caspase 8 expression in hepatocytes essentially restores liver function and prevents premature death caused by Kindlin-2 loss. Finally, of translational significance, adeno-associated virus mediated overexpression of Kindlin-2 in hepatocytes attenuates the D-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide-induced liver injury and death in mice. Collectively, we establish that Kindlin-2 acts as a novel intrinsic inhibitor of the TNF pathway to maintain liver homeostasis and may define a useful therapeutic target for liver diseases.

Published: January 2023

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of sexist advertisements on the perception of advertisements’ violation, ridiculousness and consumers’ intention to purchase a product by considering different cases of interaction between the type of advertisement (sexism without humour and sexism with humour), the direction of sexism and the respondents’ gender. The study uses a two-by-two factorial design experiment to investigate data obtained by means of a questionnaire (183 responses). Data analysis revealed that the involvement of humour in sexist advertising has a negative impact on the perception of the advertisement and consumers’ intention to purchase. Furthermore, the direction of sexism (against women vs men) appears significant when it is paired with humour. The results of the study fill a research gap regarding the impact of the interaction between the type of advertising, the direction of sexism, and the respondents’ gender on the perception of specific advertisements and intention to purchase the advertised product.

Introduction: Fine needle aspiration cytology is the basic and simple technique for diagnosis and evaluation of lymphadenopathies. Although large numbers of conditions and cytomorphological overlapping may cause a challenging task in diagnosis. In 2020, an expert panel proposed the Sydney system for classification and reporting of lymph node based on cytology. Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic utility of the recently proposed Sydney system of reporting for lymph node aspirations. Material and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at M. P. Shah Goverment Medical College, Jamnagar, Gujrat, India, from January 2020 to January 2022. Total of 194fine needle aspirations (FNA) of lymph node lesions performed were reviewed and cytologically reevaluated and classified according to the Sydney system and were compared with its clinical and histopathological details. The statistical analysis was done with the help Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0. Results: Out of 194 FNA, 4.12%(n=8) were inconclusive, 61.34% (n=119) benign, 3.09% (n=6) atypical lymphocytic lesions, 13.4% (n=26) suspicious for malignancy and 18.04% (n=35) were malignant including metastasis and lymphomas. Data of 82 cases of histopathological follow-up was available. The sensitivity was 95.2% and the specificity was 94.1 %. The positive and negative predictive values were 98.3% and 84.21% respectively. The Risk of Malignancy (ROM) in category L2 was 0.5%, in category L3 was 50% and in category L4 and L5 were 100%. Conclusion: The proposed Sydney system for reporting lymph node cytology would be helpful in the improvement of quality of reports, better understanding and communication between clinician and pathologist and thereby improving patient care.

The prospect of clown fish cultivation business is still being expanded to make profitable business activities and increasingly attract ornamental fish lovers. However, it is difficult to get clown fish with a good level of color brightness. So it can reduce the level of sales production. This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of tomato powder to increase the brightness of the color clown fish at the Ambon Marine Aquaculture Fisheries Center. The research was conducted from March to June 2020 at the Ambon Marine Aquaculture Fisheries Center. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatment is to mix tomato powder in the feed with a concentration of 0 mg/gr (Treatment A), concentration 20 mg/gr (Treatment B), concentration 40 mg/gr (Treatment C), and concentration 60 mg/gr (Treatment D). The fish used is a clown fish with a size of 1 cm with a spread of 4 fish with a circulatory maintenance system. The observed parameters include the brightness of the clown fish color, which is measured using the color grab camera app, the growth of which is the average length and weight of average seeds measured using a ruler with a precision rate of 1 cm and a digital scale with a precision rate of 0.01gr and survival rate. The results showed that feeding with the addition of powdered tomato did not give a significant effect to increase the brightness of the color of the clown fish. However, it affects the growth (length and weight) and survival rate of clownfish seeds.

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2020 at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Krishi Vigyan Kendra farm, Fatehabad, (Haryana) to evaluate the effect of combined application of organic manures and fertilizers on the soil nutrients status under the rice cultivation. The experiment comprised of 14 treatments combination of organic manures and chemical fertilizers viz. T1 (Control), T2 (100% Recommended dose of Nitrogen through urea], T3 (75% RDN + 25% N through Farm Yard Manure), T4 (50% RDN + 50% N through FYM), T5 (25% RDN + 75% N through FYM), T6 (100% N through FYM), T7 (75% RDN + 25% N through Vermicompost), T8 (50% RDN + 50% N through Vermicompost), T9 (25% RDN + 75% N through Vermicompost), T10 (100% N through Vermicompost), T11 (75% RDN + 25% N through Poultry manure), T12 (50% RDN + 50% N through Poultry manure), T13 (25% RDN + 75% N through Poultry manure) and T14 (100% N through Poultry manure) which were replicated thrice each. The results revealed that soil nutrient status was influenced variably by the application of different sources. Different combinations had no significant effect on soil pH and EC while the organic carbon (OC) increased with increased application of organic manures. The significantly higher macronutrients were observed under treatment 100 % N through Poultry manure i.e., N (120.30 kg ha-1), P (19.13 kg ha-1), K (237.20 kg ha-1) and S (33.91kg ha-1) as compared to control which recorded N (98.97 kg ha-1), P (12.63 kg ha-1), K (200.90 kg ha-1) and S (30.33 kg ha-1) while the significantly higher DTPA extractable micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn) were observed under the treatment where 100 % N was applied through Vermicompost.

Aims: This study was done to identify personal characteristics of men that may be associated with partner abuse in order to provide a basis for offering counseling services, to prevent, as well as appropriately manage cases of existing abuse.

Study Design: Cross sectional survey.

Place and Duration of Study: The study was done at the General Outpatients Clinic of University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria; between August and November 2007.

Methodology: The examiner administered pre-tested questionnaire on adult females attending the clinic within the duration of the study. Every second patient seen by the investigator on the waiting line of a regular medical consultation visit that consented to the study was recruited until the desired sample size was got. Socio-demographic as well as drug use information of adult subjects’ partners aged between 18 to 59 years was obtained.

Results: Of the 384 females investigated, age 21 – 67 years with a mean age of 31.31±8.61 years: physical abuse 41.9%, verbal/emotional abuse 49.0%, and a combined (physical/verbal) abuse 29.9%. Partners’ education had statistically significant relationship with physical abuse, P=0.018; partners’ tobacco uses with verbal abuse (P=0.000), and between combined abuse and use of tobacco or cannabis, P=0.003 and 0.048 respectively.

Linear multiple regression model of physical abuse parameters: throw something at, being pushed, slapped, kicked, hit at, beaten-up, threatened or weapon used, and forced sex; P-value was 0.000, with sum of squares 60.263 and degree of freedom 9. Whereas for verbal abuse: cajoled, derogatory statements made at, name calling, and shout at, as abuse parameters; P-value was 0.000, sum of squares 72.763 and degree of freedom, 4. Both of these were statistically significant.

Conclusion: This study demonstrates a higher perpetration of verbal/emotional violence than that of physical violence (or both) by males on their partners with lack of formal education, with tobacco and/or cannabis use, as aggravating factors.

Public health is at risk due to the fact that enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) is becoming resistant to most antibiotics that demonstrates widespread misuse of antibiotics. The study was aimed at molecularly identify and perform plasmid curing with extracts of Morinda citrifolia (MC) and Xylopia aethiopica (XA) on multidrug resistant EHEC isolates that are obtained from some fecal and water samples in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. After isolation of E. coli, eleven (11) E. coli isolates were identified as EHEC. The Molecular Identification of seven (7) most resistant isolates using PCR confirmed 100% EHEC isolates. Of the 7 resistant EHEC isolates, the AmpC Gene and blaTEM Gene were detected in 71.4% and 42.9% respectively. Results of plasmid curing test revealed that the extracts of Xylopia aethiopica, Morinda citrifolia and Acridine Orange used as the control reduced the total percentage of multiple antibiotic resistant EHEC isolates from 35.61% to 10.61%, 18.18% and 16.67%, respectively. The extracts had the ability to cure plasmids, with X. aethiopica extract being the most successful against resistant EHEC isolates. In conclusion, this investigation revealed the genetic makeup of EHEC strains, detected their resistance genes and demonstrated the curing of the plasmids of resistant EHEC isolates found in fecal and water samples from the study area, both of which constitute a serious risk to public health.
