Aneuploidy of sex chromosomes in a tortoiseshell cat – case report
Authors: Pereira Costa Maria Teresa , Lobo Richard Roberto , Santiloni Valquiria , Silveira da Mota Lígia Souza Lima
Published: September 2021

Cytogenetic analysis is an important step in the diagnosis of animals with a history of infertility or sterility. While chromosomal studies have been indicated for livestock species for years, the demand for such analyzes in companion animals has recently increased. The coat color in cats known as tortoiseshell presents predominance of black hair mixed with white and orange hair all over the body and, in the color pattern known as calico, these three colors are presented as independent spots with predominance of white hair. However, all of these patterns are limited to females due to sex-linked inheritance. Male tortoiseshell or calico cats occur rarely, due to the occurrence of chromosomal aberrations. This article reports the chromosomal analysis of a male cat with tortoiseshell pelage that presented an extra X chromosome (diploid chromosome set of 2n = 39,XXY), a condition which is similar to Klinefelter syndrome in humans.

Authors: Friciello Teixeira Rodrigo Hidalgo , Mota da Costa André Luiz , Diez Murollo Nathália , Franco Paolla Nicole , Felippi Daniel Angelo , Paganini Burini Caio Henrique
Published: September 2021

Infrared thermography is a safe and non-invasive method of research used to aid the diagnosis of inflammation, infectious diseases and muscle damage, as well as in reproductive control. The images captured by thermography convert infrared radiation emanating from the body in a temperature gradient, represented by a pattern of visible colors. Aspiration cytology, on the other hand, is an easily applicable research tool that offers excellent preliminary results and directs the clinical case towards a diagnosis. A male jaguar (Panthera onca) presenting a tumor in the abdominal region was examined with the aid of a thermal imager and later a fine needle aspiration cytology was performed. These methods disclosed a mesenchymal malignant neoplasm; later histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of fibrosarcoma. The combination of thermography with fine needle aspiration cytology provided excellent results, showing efficiency, speed and convenience as a diagnostic aid.

Authors: Tripathy Manaswini , Chaudhari Mithunchandra
Published: September 2021

Music has proven to play a vital role in social and emotional development in teenagers and young adults. From contemplation, developing self-identity, understanding interpersonal relationships, and providing possibilities of experience mastery, agency, and self-control with the help of self-directed activities, music helps its audience develop in all aspects of life. In specific, Rock music, since its existence has been more than entertainment, artists expressed themselves and shared their opinions through their musical pieces. Infamous for promoting drugs and alcohol, Rock Music used its platform to enlighten the audience about taboo topics like racism, inequality, and other social issues. This research paper uses a qualitative methodology approach to understand Rock Music listeners’ points of view. Data was collected through ‘in-depth interviews’ of 15 participants hailing from different parts of the country. Rock Music has several positive effects on the listeners. Rock can elevate moods, induce emotions, helps the listeners be more productive and creative with their everyday work, and constantly motivate them to do better in every aspect of life. Rock provides a platform to express feelings and vent out all the angst, especially for those who otherwise do not voice their opinions because of their nature in general. Rock Music has been able to shape personalities, characteristics, and thought processes. Moreover, majorly, Rock Music helps people with anger management.

The use of interval-training methods by coaches of well-trained middle- to long-distance runners
Authors: Parmar Arran , Jones Thomas , Hayes Philip
Published: September 2021

Limited research exists on how coaches of well-trained middle- to long-distance runners implement interval-training (IT) methods. IT interventions within research focus on physiological measures whereas coaches focus on performance, leading to a disconnect between the IT methods utilized in research and practice. This study aimed to identify how coaches of well-trained middle- to long-distance runners implement IT methods within the training regimen. A survey was developed that comprised 5 sections: participant demographics, the use of IT, the type and characteristics of IT, recovery from IT, and reasons for including IT. Thirty (29 male, 1 female) coaches completed the survey. All coaches prescribed short, medium and long work intervals into the training regimen using race paces of 800m, 3000m, and 10000m, respectively, to prescribe intensity. Active recovery modalities were prescribed by the majority of coaches between sets and repetitions of all types of work intervals. The majority of coaches periodized the type of work interval prescribed relative to the competition date, with 1-2 IT sessions prescribed per week, year-round. Most coaches reported learning about IT primarily from their own training and coaching books, however, the most valuable sources of education for IT were ranked as scientific literature, coaching courses and workshops.
Mein Leben mit der Wissenschaft
Authors: Ertl Gerhard
Published: September 2021

Gerhard Ertl: My Life With Science (Lives in Chemistry–Lebenswerke in der Chemie) Who has had the luck to receive the Nobel Prize as a surprise birthday present? The answer is GERHARD ERTL, born in 1936. In his youth he was interested in music, chemistry, and physics, and started university in Stuttgart followed by Paris and Munich. The door to research opened itself in his diploma thesis. His courage showed itself early on when he was a PhD student, and led him to the novel field of surface science and so to heterogeneous catalysis where he became one of the great pioneers. He discovered at an atomic level the mechanisms and kinetics of ammonia synthesis and CO oxidation. He identified the “active centers” of catalysts—and his line of thought shaped current heterogeneous catalysis that is so important for modern industry and society. Time after time he set out basic concepts for solving important scientific and technical problems—with patience and without any fuss. Typical for Gerhard Ertl!

The article describes composition of the host rocks and ores of the Lazursky and Maslyansky polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits of the Lazursky ore field located within the Zmeinogorsk ore region of the Rudny Altai minerogenic zone. The ore field is composed of various facies of the Devonian (Late Givetian – Frasnian) ore-bearing siliceous-terrigenous basalt-rhyolite formation containing horizons of synvolcanic metasomatites. All rocks of the ore field were subjected to folding and schistosity with zones of tectonic brecciation. Hydrothermal alterations are represented by carbonatization and chloritization. The ore bodies exposed at the Lazursky and Maslyansky ore deposits are represented by copper-pyrite, copper, and zinc-copper-pyrite massive sulfide ores and other varieties. The major ore minerals of the deposits are chalcopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, marcasite, and pyrrhotite.
Joint Ionosonde Studies of F2 Layer Critical Frequency Variations in the Ionosphere Over Kharkiv and Tromsø During Fall Equinox in Quiet and Disturbed Conditions
Authors: Zhivolup Taras , Panasenko Sergii , Koloskov Olexander , Lisachenko Volodymyr
Published: September 2021

According to the results of joint ionosonde studies of variations in the ionospheric F2 layer critical frequency over Kharkiv and Tromsø during low solar activity for fall equinox on September 22 – 24, 2020, the features of foF2 variations in middle and low latitudes were investigated for magnetically quiet and magnetically disturbed conditions. On the magnetically quiet day of September 22, 2020, the foF2 values over Kharkiv were found to exceed the foF2 values over Tromsø for the entire time interval of joint observations 02:45 - 16:45 UT. Both over Tromsø and over Kharkiv, a rapid increase in foF2 to its local maximum value was observed after the sunrise. Quasi-periodic variations in foF2 were revealed at high latitudes, which had lower amplitude compared to variations in foF2 over Kharkiv. Over both measuring sites, a pre-sunset local maximum in foF2 was observed. During magnetically disturbed conditions over Tromsø and Kharkiv, quasi-periodic fluctuations in foF2 were observed after the sunrise. Oscillations over Tromsø had lower amplitude than over Kharkiv, and were almost completely suppressed after the onset of a strong magnetic disturbance at high latitudes on September 23, 2020. The foF2 values over Tromsø exceeded its values over Kharkiv in a time interval of 10:45 – 12:15 UT. Comparison of the time variation of foF2 over Tromso on a magnetically quiet day, September 22, 2020, and on a magnetically disturbed day, September 23, 2020, showed that the foF2 value for September 23, 2020 from 10:15 to 15:00 UT exceeded the foF2 values for the same period on September 22, 2020. Comparison of the temporal variations in foF2 over Kharkiv on a magnetically quiet day, September 22, 2020, and on a magnetically disturbed day, September 24, 2020, showed that the foF2 value for September 24, 2020 exceeded its value for September 22, 2020 from 03:00 to 04:45 UT and from 07:00 to 13:00 UT. Magnetic disturbances were found to cause a rapid increase in foF2 values both over Kharkiv and Tromsø, which exceeded foF2 values under magnetically quiet conditions, and also led to a significant increase in the relative amplitudes of traveling ionospheric disturbances over Kharkiv.
Course and Variations in Branches of Inferior Mesenteric Artery
Authors: Gupta Prerna , Gupta Neeraj
Published: September 2021

Background : The mesenteric blood supply is a
combination of rich collateral networks. There are frequent
anatomical variants encountered and these variations are
sometimes involved in pathologies. Treatment of which
requires a better understanding of the variations in the normal
anatomy of the inferior mesenteric artery.
Methods : The present study was carried out in the
Department of Anatomy, Prathima Institute of Medical
Sciences, Karimnagar. A total of n=50 specimens, with n=17
adult males and n=2 adult female cadavers and fetuses of which
n=26 were term and n=2, was preterm. Female fetuses n=2 of
term and n=1 preterm were included in the study.
Results : The following variations were observed in
the present study of course and variations in the branches of
the inferior mesenteric artery and are grouped into three types.
Type I: In this type middle colic artery is arising from the inferior
mesenteric artery instead of the superior mesenteric artery.
It is a rare-variations and observed in a female fetus.
Type-II: Four Sigmoidal arteries are arising from an inferior
mesenteric artery, after the origin of the left colic artery. This
type is observed in a male fetus.
Type-III: Three Sigmoidal arteries are originated from the
inferior mesenteric artery. This type was observed in a male
adult and a male fetus.
Conclusion: Out of the 50 cases included in the study
we found type 1 variation of IMA in 2% of cases, type 2 variation
was found in 2% samples, and type 3 variation was found in
4% of samples. Based on the variations radiologists and
Surgeons should be aware of possible consequences when
doing colectomy, right hemicolectomy, left hemicolectomy,
sigmoidectomy, en-bloc resection of the head of the pancreas,
aneurysm, and chronic bowel ischemia. The present study is
also useful for reconstructive surgeries in inferior mesenteric
arteries in the case of ischemia.

A Review of Coronavirus Disease Covid-19
Authors: Zore Swapnali
Published: September 2021

Severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is currently managed with systemic glucocorticoids. Opportunistic fungal infections are of concern in such patients. While COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis is increasingly recognized, mucormycosis is rare. We describe a case of probable pulmonary mucormycosis in a 55-year-old man with diabetes, end-stage kidney disease, and COVID-19. The index case was diagnosed with pulmonary mucormycosis 21 days following admission for severe COVID-19. He received 5 g of liposomal amphotericin B and was discharged after 54 days from the hospital. We also performed a systematic review of the literature and identified seven additional cases of COVID-19 associated mucormycosis (CAM). Of the eight cases included in our review, diabetes mellitus was the most common risk factor. Three subjects had no risk factor other than glucocorticoids for COVID-19. Mucormycosis usually developed 10–14 days after hospitalization. All except the index case died. In two subjects, CAM was diagnosed postmortem. Mucormycosis is an uncommon but serious infection that complicates the course of severe COVID-19. Subjects with diabetes mellitus and multiple risk factors may be at a higher risk for developing mucormycosis. Concurrent glucocorticoid therapy probably heightens the risk of mucormycosis. A high index of suspicion and aggressive management is required to improve outcomes.
Type D personality and acceptance of illness in people with inflammatory bowel diseases. Mediating role of self-esteem
Authors: Graf Olga , Urbańska Beata , Uram Patrycja
Published: September 2021

Background

Type D personality is analyzed more and more frequently in the context of various chronic illnesses, including bowel diseases. Acceptance of illness is affected by many factors that facilitate adaptation to the difficulties and limitations and support the heal-ing process. One of those factors may be self-esteem.

Participants and procedure

One hundred fifty-nine individuals, aged 18 to 65, participated in the study. 67% (n = 107) stated that they have ulcerative colitis (UC), and the remaining 33% (n = 52) reported suffering from Crohn’s disease (CD). The following measurement tools were used: Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), and Personality Type D Scale (D14).

Results

The conducted analyses revealed significant correlations between all studied elements. Self-esteem was proven to be a full medi-ator in relations between one of the dimensions of type D personality, negative affectivity, as well as between both dimensions of type D personality (negative affectivity and social inhibition) and acceptance of illness in individuals with bowel diseases. However, mediation analysis did not confirm that self-esteem is a mediator between social inhibition and acceptance of illness.

Conclusions

The results show that self-esteem is, for an individual, an essential resource in coping with an illness and adjusting to it. There-fore, providing patient support in the scope of reinforcing self-esteem may prove to be one of the key elements affecting illness acceptance.
Successful endovascular embolization of a giant splenic artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to a huge pancreatic pseudocyst with concomitant spleen invasion

Published: September 2021

Pseudoaneurysms of the pancreatic and peripancreatic arteries is a well-known complication of chronic or necrotizing pancreatitis due to proteolytic enzymatic digestion of the arterial wall. A major part of peripancreatic pseudoaneurysms involve the splenic artery, but any peripancreatic artery may be involved and bleed. They are potentially life threatening for patients, due to spontaneous intraperitoneal rupture, rupture and fistulization into the surrounding organs, or fistulization into the pancreatic duct. Small ones are usually asymptomatic and are often diagnosed incidentally, while giant (> 5 cm) aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are symptomatic and may be detected as a pulsatile mass in the upper-left quadrant or epigastrium. Imaging plays a key role in the identification of splenic artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, while angiography still represents the gold standard for the diagnosis, although nowadays it plays a prominent role in treatment. Treatment of splenic artery pseudoaneurysms is mandatory because of the high probability of rupture, with a mortality rate of up to 90%. The gold standard treatment is represented by surgery, with a mortality rate between 16% and 50%. In recent years the endovascular approach has proven to be an effective alternative treatment for splenic artery pseudoaneurysms, and it is currently the method of choice. In this article, we present the case of a ant pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery due to huge pseudocysts in a young alcoholic patient with recurrent and chronic pancreatitis, complicated by fistulization and invasion of spleen parenchyma and arterio-venous fistula.

Published: September 2021

Introdução: Muitos medicamentos interferem no resultado final dos exames laboratoriais, em se tratando principalmente da hematologia propriamente dita, uma vez que os pacientes não descrevem sua utilização no ato da coleta, dentre os medicamentos os mais causadores de discrepâncias são: anticoagulantes orais, anti-inflamatórios, analgésicos, anti-hipertensivos, psicotrópicos, e com isso causam discrasias sanguíneas. Objetivo: Investigar e comprovar as disparidades ocasionadas por medicamentos em relação aos exames hematológicos. Metodologia: O estudo caracteriza-se por apresentar uma análise acerca da hematologia. A realização deste foi embasada em pesquisas de abordagem qualitativa e descritiva, quanto aos procedimentos, revisão bibliográfica ou método de revisão integrativa da literatura. Os dados foram coletados nas bases de dados SciELO, BDENF, LILACS e MEDLINE, com recorte temporal de 2011 a 2021. Resultados: Os antibióticos e antivirais causam bastante interferências, geralmente aqueles que contém o anel beta-lactâmico como a penicilina, ampicilina, os antivirais, como o interferon-α-2a peguilado, em relação aos psicotrópicos o valproáto de sódio anticonvulsivante capaz de causar depressão da médula óssea, resultando em aplasia de medula ou síndrome mielodisplásica, ocorrendo citopenia periférica que podem afetar outras linhagens celulares. Com isso, é possível observar plaquetopenia, neutropenia, macrocitose. Dos anti-hipertensivos, o metildopa eficaz em reduzir a pressão arterial, observa-se que a prova de Coombs direto positiva em até 10% dos pacientes que utilizam essa droga em doses de 2 gramas/dia e uma minoria apresenta plaquetopenia, esferocitose e hemólise que podem ser acentuadas, os anti-hipertensivos como o captopril, enalapril, propranolol podem causar discrasias hematológicas o enalapril interferi no fator anti-núcleo positivo. Conclusão: Diante disso podemos de fato comprovar as intercorrências correlacionadas ao uso de medicamentos com as análises hematológicas, uma vez que os exames laboratoriais exercem um papel primordial no que diz respeito ao diagnóstico de diversas doenças, onde os fármacos mais utilizados predispõem às alterações pós analíticas de várias dosagens sanguíneas.
The Cult of Thomas Aquinas’s Relics at the Dawn of the Dominican Reform and the Great Western Schism
Authors: Räsänen Marika
Published: September 2021

This chapter reconstructs the cultural and theological politics of the celebrations
of Thomas Aquinas’s translatio, looking closely at the liturgy used to
commemorate the day. It argues that the veneration of Aquinas’s relics, as
well as the masses said in his honor, enabled him to figure as a healer and
an agent of reform. Aquinas comes to be projected as an Avignon saint, in a
cult promulgated by Elias Raymundus of Toulouse. This chapter shows how
commemorative practices interwove to produce this reforming Avignon
saint, particularly looking at hagiography, ritual, and, the display of relics.
Attuning to the Cosmos
Authors: Anagnostou-Laoutides Eva
Published: September 2021

The essay discusses music and silence as two important paradigms for
articulating spiritual progress in the Platonic corpus and its reception
by Neoplatonic and Christian thinkers. After examining the importance
of music in Plato’s theory of the soul, mainly in the Republic and the
Timaeus, I argue that he appreciated music as a spiritual awakening, as
preparation for the truth which is always experienced in deafening silence.
Proclus, a sensitive reader of Plato, and later thinkers such as Proclus and
Boethius, provided a secure path for the survival of Platonic ideas in the
West. Petrarch, a meticulous reader of Augustine, grappling with the same
Platonic notions that frustrated the fourth-century theologian, experiments
boldly with Platonic silence in the Secretum and his Rime Sparse.
The Miroir des dames, the Chapelet des vertus, and Christine de Pizan’s Sources
Authors: Green Karen
Published: September 2021

This chapter offers a reading of the Othea Epistre, an early work by Christine
de Pizan. It has been generally supposed that Christine was influenced
by a text called the Fleurs de toutes vertues, as the Othea seemingly borrows
a great deal from it. This chapter tests this assumption, widely accepted
in the scholarship, by questioning why it has generally been assumed
that the Fleurs predates the Othea. The chapter argues that there is little
evidence that the Fleurs predated Christine’s text. Instead, deploying
philological analysis, the chapter shows that it is much more likely that
the anonymous author of the Fleurs borrowed from the Othea.

Published: September 2021

Im Rahmen des folgenden Beitrags werden Untersuchungen zur Eignung des Wasserlinsen-Tests zur Bestimmung der phytotoxischen Effekte von Papierfabriksabwässern beschrieben. Innerhalb dieser Untersuchungen wurde eine standardisierte Methode zur Durchführung des Wasserlinsen-Tests in Papierfabriksabwässern erarbeitet. Die Abwasserproben müssen nach der Entnahme entweder direkt analysiert werden oder sofort eingefroren werden. Die gefrorene Abwasserprobe kann bis zu zwei Wochen gelagert werden. Die Testdurchführung für die Endabläufe wird mit vier Verdünnungsstufen empfohlen. Proben müssen vor dem Test schwarzbandfiltriert und der pH-Wert der Proben auf 5,5 eingestellt werden. Die Darstellung der Ergebnisse der Abwasserproben erfolgt als Gw-Wert, der die nominell erste Verdünnungsstufe (höchste Konzentration an Abwasserprobe) beschreibt, bei der eine Wachstumshemmung von 10 % nicht überschritten wird. Der Wasserlinsen-Test wurde unter definierten Bedingungen in demselben Labor dreimal für die Endabläufe aus sieben Papierfabriken wiederholt und damit die Reproduzierbarkeit der Ergebnisse quantifiziert. Im Laufe dieser Untersuchung zeigten 6 von 7 untersuchten Proben einen Gw-Wert von 1 oder 2. Die innerhalb der Reproduzierbarkeitsuntersuchungen bestimmten Gw-Werte entsprechen denen einer unbedenklichen Abwasserprobe. Für die ARA-Zuläufe und die teilgereinigten Abwässer ergeben sich höhere Werte für den CSB, den AOX und die Trübung. Die höheren Belastungen dieser Abwässer sind mit höheren Wachstumshemmungen im Wasserlinsen-Test verbunden. Ob einer dieser Faktoren oder ein Zusammenspiel mehrerer Faktoren für die höhere Wachstumshemmung verantwortlich ist, konnte in dieser Untersuchung nicht geklärt werden.

COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the educational institutions in Australia and New Zealand, thus online learning was a significant option for education to be smoothly continued. This could possibly enhance the Computer-based exams (CBEs) to be used in various courses, such as schools, universities and other training centres. As there are many educational institutions which have chosen to convert from paper test system to computer- based exam. However, adopting computer tests may lead to some difficulties for the students, which relates to technical defects and lake of computer skills of some students when they are applying the computer based exams. The purpose of the paper was to discuss online learning during Covid19 and the possibility of adopting (CBEs), then to determine negative and positive effects on the students of using computer-based exams and focus on some of suggesting solutions to the negative effects. Computer test which could cause negative effects on students due to various levels of skills to use a computer and some technical problems was examined. The design of the computer examination system requires careful planning and study from several aspects before becoming officially accepted, the computer-based exams still have a few problems which may lead to difficulties in using computer exams. Then the many benefits which could be gained by using computer-based exams, such as the student will be more independent with computer test were described. In addition, the students have access to the exams through the internet network. Finally, the effectiveness of certain strategy to solve the negative effects of computer-based exams were argued. Developing the solutions of the technical problems are required for computer test, where improving the input methods questions and corrections. It was resulted that online learning has considered as a better option during COVID-19 pandemic, and the computer exam, with adjustments, is more suitable for students.

Authors: McMillan Alan D. , St. Claire Denis E.
Published: September 2021

The Nuu-chah-nulth of western Vancouver Island used lookout sites on small outer-coast islands to observe the movements of sea mammals and canoes, and later the trading ships arriving with cargoes of new goods. A trench excavated across the upper surface of one such site yielded an artifact assemblage typical of late Nuu-chah-nulth sites, along with radiocarbon dates indicating use over the few centuries prior to contact with Europeans. Three artifacts of introduced materials reveal that this location continued in use into the early decades of contact. Copper and California abalone shells (“Monterey shells”) were two of the earliest and most important trade materials during the maritime fur trade. Indigenous demand was for the raw material, which was re-worked into decorative items of traditional form. The excavation results provide a rare glimpse into this early contact period, with no admixture of later manufactured objects. Ethnohistoric and ethnographic sources provide context to interpret these discoveries.
Taking on Looting: Pursuing Sustainable Site Protection Policies in Southern Ontario
Authors: Ionico Daniel A.
Published: September 2021

Centuries of looting has repeatedly unearthed the archaeological remains of First Nations middens, villages, and cemeteries. This paper presents a case for new measures to curtail these illicit practices in Ontario. Over the last decade, many archaeologists have espoused a program of sustainable archaeology. I suggest protections of in situ contexts against looting will further the objectives of sustainable archaeology and contribute to this broader trajectory of practice in the province. Using the history of looting and archaeological conditions at Neutral Iroquoian (Attawandaron) sites, along with information from modern collectors, the paper reveals the persistent threat of looting and the necessity for action. I suggest the province, municipalities, and archaeological stakeholders deploy policies aimed at preserving these resources into the future. I advocate for a stewardship of personal and collective responsibility among property owners and hobbyists through educational initiatives, legal easement agreements, and existing legislative mandates to serve as a pragmatic step towards the long-term sustainable protection of these sites.

A Pandemia do COVID-19, obrigou a sociedade a adoção de algumas medidas, que afetou de maneira imperiosa a educação. Desse modo, o objetivo deste relato de experiência é apresentar como ocorreu o processo avaliativo nesse período pandêmico, e a importância da avaliação da aprendizagem. Tal experiência foi vivenciada numa turma de 2º ano do Ensino Fundamental, de uma escola pública municipal de Fortaleza. Foram adotadas algumas estratégias a fim de assegurar o vínculo educacional entre escola, estudantes e família, ao longo desse período. Nesse sentido, a docente optou por realizar videochamadas como ferramenta para avaliação, onde realizou uma avaliação diagnóstica com foco na leitura e hipótese de escrita. Os resultados demonstram que apenas 14,8% da turma estava no nível alfabético de escrita, e 59,2% foi diagnosticada como não leitores. A partir dessa análise, foi elaborado e executado um plano de intervenção, onde percebeu-se um avanço em relação ao quantitativo de estudantes nível alfabético de escrita e leitores.
Development of an interpreting service model at the Durban University of Technology
Authors:   , Makhubu Rosethal Loli
Published: September 2021

This research deals with the development of a model of interpreting services for a newly merged multilingual University of Technology, the Durban University of Technology. The rationale for the study was the urgent need to give students whose mother tongue is not the medium of instruction (i.e. English) equity of access to higher-degree education. The research was carried out within a critical realist approach, which seeks to transform society by practical application of theory. Unlike previous studies in interpreting, this research focuses on the service provision aspect of interpreting. It falls within the field of educational interpreting, but goes beyond the classroom situation in considering other university interpreting needs, such as seminars and in-house conferences, graduation and other ceremonies, operational meetings and labour-related meetings. Franck‟s modelling process was used to formulate a theoretical model of the interpreting service delivery mechanism using data gathered during visitations to local and international universities. The theoretical model, or system of essential functions, was used to arrive at the applied aspect of the mechanism, termed an empirical model of interpreting service delivery. The model was then validated in terms of its application in various contexts at the Durban University of Technology. It is suggested that the theoretical and practical models developed have application not only for educational interpreting, but also in other interpreting contexts. The models are also considered to have relevance for service delivery in general, which is a critical issue at present in South Africa.
The use of adapted teaching strategies in literacy by grade three educators in the northern KwaZulu-Natal region

The literacy levels in South African schools are alarmingly low. Educators are challenged in diverse classrooms with multicultural and multilingual learners as they are faced with the problems that these learners are experiencing in literacy. Educators therefore need to be able to adapt their teaching strategies to suit the needs of their learners to address learners’ different learning needs and styles. This study investigated the use of adapted teaching strategies used by grade 3 educators in literacy in selected schools in northern KwaZulu-Natal. A mixed methods research design was used which included the use of a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to gather data. The findings which were linked to the literature review revealed that educators lacked adequate knowledge and skills to adapt their teaching strategies as they have not been adequately trained to teach literacy within multilingual contexts. Although some educators were using adapted teaching strategies they were not using them effectively in their multilingual classrooms while some educators did not have a wellstructured intervention programme at school to deal with learners who were experiencing problems with literacy. Inexperienced educators also had problems identifying learning styles and adapting their teaching strategies. This study found that teachers require continual professional development to enable them to effectively adapt their teaching strategies to suit individual learning needs and styles.
Clinical Usefulness of SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Test
Authors: Kim Hyun Soo
Published: September 2021

SARS-CoV-2 antibody assay is a test that checks whether an antibody against the SARSCoV-2 virus has been formed in the blood after SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination. SARSCoV-2 antibody is detected 1–2 weeks after infection, and antibodies are produced in more than 90% of infected patients. The duration for the formation of antibodies differs by individual and by type of antibody. In the case of IgG, it is at least several months or longer, and the relationship between antibodies and immunity is being studied. As test methods, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), chemiluminescence immunoassay (CIA), immunochromatographic assay, and neutralizing antibody assay have been developed and used. The target antibody to be detected differs depending on the type of recombinant antigen and the type of secondary antibody in reagents. Many kinds of commercialized SARS-CoV-2 antibody assays are currently being developed, and the S (spike) protein, N (nucleocapsid) protein, S1 or RBD (receptor binding domain) part of the S protein, and a mixture of these antigens are used as recombinant antigens of reagents. IgG, IgM, IgA, or total immunoglobulin antibodies in patients’ blood that react with these reagent antigens are detected. In this review, the types and performance of SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests and the guidelines for COVID-19 antibody tests published domestically and abroad were investigated.

Published: September 2021

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a common colonizer of the nasal vestibule and is found in approximately 20%–30% of healthy adults, while Staphylococcus epidermidis appears to be the most frequent colonizer in all regions of the upper respiratory tract. Esp, a serine protease of S. epidermidis, was reported to inhibit S. aureus colonization. This study was performed to examine the nasal colonization of S. aureus and S. epidermidis and the presence of esp determinants. Methods: Nasal swab specimens from 54 patients were cultured on blood agar plates (BAP) and selective media for S. aureus (S. aureus ID, bioMerieux, France) for the isolation of S. aureus and S. epidermidis. After 48 hours of incubation of with BAP, three or four colonies suspected of being coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) were identified by MALDI-TOF MS (Bruker, Germany). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for esp was performed on all CNS isolates identified as S. epidermidis. Results: Forty-three S. epidermidis strains were isolated from 18 (33.3%) of the 54 patients. Nine (50.0%) of the 18 patients carried S. aureus, while the other nine did not. Of the 36 S. epidermidis non-carriers, 13 (36.1%) were colonized by S. aureus. All S. epidermidis strains were confirmed by PCR to have esp determinants. Conclusion: S. epidermidis colonization did not affect S. aureus colonization in the nasal cavity. All S. epidermidis strains harbored the esp gene. We could not find any differences in the nasal colonization rates of S. aureus according to the presence of esp-positive S. epidermidis. Further research on the characterization of S. epidermidis in Korea is needed to understand the association between S. epidermidis and S. aureus colonization.
