Authors: Popoola Temitope Omolara , Ehichioya Deborah U.
Published: March 2024

Aflatoxins (Aspergillus flavus toxins) are poisonous substances produced by some fungi on crops, foods, and feeds. The study was carried out to determine and to compare total aflatoxin levels in groundnuts sold in Lagos markets, Nigeria. Microbiological and toxicology tests were carried out on raw, boiled, and roasted groundnuts from the same source. The microbiological test was carried out to detect the fungi that produce aflatoxins as their secondary metabolite. The groundnuts samples were cultured on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). The isolates were identified using standard microbiological methods, characteristics such as presence of spores, shape, colour of spores and presence of septa were used in identification. Aspergillus flavus (75%; percentage of occurrence) was the most frequently isolated fungus from the groundnut samples. The other contaminant isolated from the samples were Aspergillus niger (25%). The toxicology analysis was carried out to determine the production of aflatoxins and the level present in the groundnut. This was carried out using a Romer Mycosep Column kit for aflatoxin to clean-up, and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to detect the aflatoxins and determine the levels. Total aflatoxins were detected in the groundnuts, and they ranged between 0.36 ppb and 0.42 ppb. The levels of total aflatoxins were not beyond the regulatory standard of National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control- NAFDAC (for ready to eat food, 4µg/kg while food that will still undergo processing 20µg/kg). Thus, the groundnut samples from the four markets are fit for consumption.

Measuring HR Analytics Application and HR Analytics Competencies of HR Professionals: Towards Operationalization from Conceptualization
Authors: H.H.D.P.J. Opatha , N.W.K.D.K. Dayarathna
Published: March 2024

Human Resource (HR) analytics plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between subjective and objective HR practices, revealing that HR decisions are not solely based on theory and applications but also on numerical evidence. Assessing the extent of HR analytics applications helps management understand "where we are" and "where to go" in terms of HR analytics practices. However, the adoption of HR analytics doesn't happen automatically; there must be internal motivating factors within the organization. One key factor is the HR analytics competency of HR professionals, which significantly boosts the application of HR analytics. Therefore, evaluating the competencies of HR professionals helps them gauge "where am I" and "what areas should I focus on mastering" in terms of HR analytics competencies. This article introduces two instruments for measuring HR analytics applications in the organization and the HR analytics competency of HR professionals, utilizing a 5-point Likert scale measurement. The validity and reliability of these instruments are ensured, and the measurements are developed based on a combination of literature findings and the researchers' insights. These two sets of instruments are anticipated to assist organizations and HR professionals in gauging their respective levels of HR analytics application and competencies.
Compatible $E$-Differential Forms on Lie Algebroids over (Pre-)Multisymplectic Manifolds
Authors:   Ritsumeikan University, Japan, Ikeda Noriaki
Published: March 2024

We consider higher generalizations of both a (twisted) Poisson structure and the equivariant condition of a momentum map on a symplectic manifold. On a Lie algebroid over a (pre-)symplectic and (pre-)multisymplectic manifold, we introduce a Lie algebroid differential form called a compatible $E$-$n$-form. This differential form satisfies a compatibility condition, which is consistent with both the Lie algebroid structure and the (pre-)(multi)symplectic structure. There are many interesting examples such as a Poisson structure, a twisted Poisson structure and a twisted $R$-Poisson structure for a pre-$n$-plectic manifold. Moreover, momentum maps and momentum sections on symplectic manifolds, homotopy momentum maps and homotopy momentum sections on multisymplectic manifolds have this structure.

Published: March 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é compreender como fatores socioeconômicos e jurídico-institucionais estão contribuindo para evidenciar a expansão do cooperativismo no garimpo de ouro no Brasil, demonstrando um panorama geral dessas organizações no país e sinalizando para sua realidade. Foram acessados dados das requisições de lavra garimpeira disponibilizados pela Agência Nacional de Mineração e analisadas aquelas feitas por cooperativas. Os resultados deste trabalho são apresentados em duas grandes categorias: (i) Panorama geral das concessões de lavras garimpeiras para as cooperativas minerais, que mostram o movimento intenso de requerimento de área para garimpo de ouro, sobretudo na Amazônia, realizado pelas cooperativas de garimpeiros; e (ii) Adensamento e dispersão geográfica das cooperativas minerais do Brasil, que sinalizam a ampliação exponencial das requisições de lavra para garimpo de ouro por cooperativas entre os anos 2019 e 2022, confirmando a expansão dessas organizações e sua dispersão para diferentes regiões do Brasil. O preço do ouro e a flexibilização da legislação do garimpo de ouro no Brasil interferiram amplamente nesse movimento das cooperativas minerais. Apesar da expansão da demanda pelo garimpo de ouro feito por cooperativas, este movimento não significa fortalecimento da organização social dos mineradores/garimpeiros e isso sugere a importância dessa agenda de pesquisa e a necessidade de sua continuidade

Moreover, 2.3 million new cases of breast cancer have been detected among women since 2020 as reported by World Health Organization (WHO). Many research studies based on breast cancer mainly aim at ultrasound, mammography, and Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI). However, there exist certain limitations such as lack of access for the detection of disease in rural and remote cities and insufficient knowledge about the availability of computer-aided systems. In order to overcome the problem, it is necessary to develop an effective detection model for breast cancer. For the experimentation, the input images like mammogram images and tomosynthesis images are garnered from the benchmark online resources. The input image further undergoes the pre-processing stage, which is made by using “Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) and histogram equalization (HE)”. Then, the pre-processed images are further given as input to the segmentation, in which deeplabv3 is deployed. Consequently, with the assistance of segmented images, the relevant features like “texture features, color features, shape features, deep features, statistical features and morphological features” are extracted. Then, these obtained features are used in weighted feature selection, where the optimal feature selection is performed, and weights are optimized by the Enhanced Adaptive Prey Location-Based Pelican Optimization Algorithm (APL-POA). Finally, the weighted accurate features are given as input to the Ensemble Deep Learning (EDC) model. The ensemble model is structured by “Deep Neural Network (DNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM), Deep Temporal Convolution Networks (DTCN) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU)”, in which the hyperparameters of every classifier are smoothened optimally by the enhanced APL-POA algorithm. Through the experimental analysis, the proposed work tends to provide an improved classification rate and rapid detection of disease that aids in better diagnosis of the patients.

Background:

The recent surge in popularity of elastic stable intramedullary nailing is attributed to its stability, reduced complications, and the possibility of early mobilization. This study assesses the efficacy and outcomes of using titanium elastic intramedullary nailing in managing diaphyseal femoral bone fractures in pediatric patients.

Materials and Methods:

A prospective randomized study involved 30 children, comprising 20 males and 10 females, aged between 5 and 15 years. Closed diaphyseal fractures were stabilized using titanium nails of suitable diameter and length. Outcomes were evaluated using the FLYNN scoring system and Anthony scale grading to assess callus formation.

Results:

The research revealed that most fractures were oblique (66.7%) and spiral (23.3%), primarily occurring at the middle third level. The average duration of hospitalization was 8.16 ± 3.5 days. Limb length discrepancy was not significantly observed in 90% of patients. The average time for radiological union in fractures with grade 3 callus formation was 9.86 ± 1.56 weeks. FLYNN score outcomes were excellent in 90% of instances, with only one patient necessitating additional surgery.

Conclusion:

Titanium elastic intramedullary nailing demonstrated effective treatment of diaphyseal femoral fractures in pediatric cases.

Authors: Regi Jennie K , Lalwani Kajol , Pawar Sunita
Published: March 2024

Background:

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) stand as a fundamental element in global pain management and rank among the most frequently utilized pharmaceuticals. These drugs, prevalent in both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) forms, make up around 5% of the total prescribed medications worldwide. Their prolonged use can lead to complications, underscoring the crucial role of pharmacists in guiding their limited and time-bound usage.

Objectives:

A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess and contrast the usage trends of NSAIDs through self-administration versus prescription-based consumption.

Materials and Methods:

In the Katraj district of Pune, Maharashtra, a cross-sectional study was conducted at two community pharmacies within the local area. Upon meeting specific criteria and securing consent, information was gathered through a standardized self-filled questionnaire in the language preferred by the participants. The questionnaire encompassed four segments: gathering sociodemographic information, assessing participants’ knowledge regarding NSAID usage, understanding the reasons behind their drug purchase, and an observational assessment of pharmacists’ practices in dispensing medications.

Results:

Out of the 294 respondents, the female participants constituted 55.78%. A majority of individuals, around 66.66%, chose self-medication. The primary motive behind purchasing NSAIDs was predominantly for alleviating pain, representing 36.73% of respondents. Nearly half of the participants, approximately 48.97%, possessed knowledge about the risks and benefits of NSAID consumption. Surprisingly, an overwhelming 95.57% of participants reported inadequate guidance from their local pharmacist when purchasing NSAIDs.

Conclusion:

The prevalence of self-medication surpassed the usage of prescribed medications due to insufficient participation of pharmacists in dispensing. There is a crucial need to prioritize the role of community pharmacists by imparting information on proper medication administration and advocating for their active clinical engagement in patients’ lives.
Physiotherapy for Guillain–Barré syndrome: A case report
Authors: Jha Jyoti , Khan Huma , Gupta Sachin
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to showcase the clinical outcomes of a patient who underwent a combination of inpatient and outpatient physiotherapy for Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), evaluating various therapeutic options and the effectiveness of rehabilitation. GBS manifests as acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, leading to limb weakness and diminished reflexes, with diverse initial symptoms. Progressive weakness, tingling, reduced reflexes, and sensory loss may occur, implicating demyelination of spinal nerve roots, though the exact causes remain uncertain. While fatal cases are uncommon, severe instances involve respiratory and cardiovascular complications, necessitating swift diagnosis and referral. This case highlights the physiotherapy undertaken by an 18-year-old male, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and effective physiotherapeutic management. An 18-year-old male diagnosed with GBS (acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy variant) underwent 16 weeks of physiotherapy, initially as an inpatient and later as an outpatient. The case underscores the significance of precise diagnosis and effective physiotherapeutic management. Various physiotherapeutic approaches improved the patient’s overall functional capability, enhancing muscle strength, endurance, balance, and daily autonomy.

Published: March 2024

Background:

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) continues to pose a substantial public health challenge in Nigeria, particularly affecting key populations due to various factors such as diminished risk perception, engaging in risky sexual and behavioral practices, stigma, discrimination, and legal barriers. Recognizing and addressing the mental health and psychosocial needs (MHPN) of HIV-positive key populations are essential for implementing tailored interventions and ensuring comprehensive care, aligning with the Joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) goal of ending acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) by 2030.

Materials and Methods:

This retrospective observational study was conducted among key populations (KPs) living with HIV who were enrolled in care at 17 one-stop shop (OSS) facilities operated by Heartland Alliance LTD/GTE across six states in Nigeria. The assessment tool used was the HALG Mental Health Screening Form III (MHSF-III). The study population consisted of diverse KPs enrolled in OSS facilities across six Nigerian states. Data analysis was performed using IBM-SPSS version 28.

Results:

The study revealed varying levels of MHPN among HIV-positive vital populations, with sex partners (8.9%), prisoners (7.1%), and female sex workers (6.1%) showing the highest prevalence. Among participants aged below 20, the need was most pronounced (10.7%). Female participants had increased odds (AOR = 2.072) of experiencing MHPN, as did individuals with sexual partners (AOR = 1.591), a history of drug/alcohol use (AOR = 10.458), and exposure to gender-based violence (AOR = 7.733). All respondents received brief interventions, with 69.3% being referred for further psychosocial support and 47.6% ultimately receiving specialized mental health intervention. The majority of participants preferred in-person counseling (72.7%) and a single session (74.0%), and most displayed mild confirmation outcomes (86.8%).

Conclusion:

The results highlight the importance of tackling the mental health obstacles encountered by these vulnerable groups to prevent HIV transmission and ensure comprehensive care. To enhance the well-being of these populations in Nigeria, policymakers and healthcare providers should prioritize integrated care and support services. Lastly, future research in this domain should concentrate on conducting long-term studies to monitor the mental health trajectories of HIV-positive key populations thoroughly.
