Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in children: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Authors: H. A-Ardi Musafer
Published: March 2023

Toxoplasma infection during childhood may cause severe effects for children and their offspring. Here, we initiated a systematic review to estimate the global prevalence of toxoplasmosis. All databases were searched for publications published between January 2000 and March 2021, including studies on the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in children (1 day-15 years). The overall prevalence rate of toxoplasmosis was evaluated with a 95% CI in global and WHO regions. Toxoplasmosis prevalence and the population size were analysed using linear regression to arrive at this conclusion. As a result, 63 articles included 29342 children from 18 countries in the systematic analysis. The total prevalence rate of toxoplasmosis in children was 0.2% (95% CI: 0.195 – 0.204%). The African region had the highest prevalence rate of 0.28% (95% CI: 0.5-0.55%), while the South American and US regions had the lowest at 0.166% (95% CI: 0.01-0.33%). The prevalence rate among children is very high. Further examination and investigation of the parasite among children is required to reduce the occurrence of new infections or prevent complications of the disease.

Anaemia is a common issue in the paediatric age group and it is not uncommon to encounter severe cases of anaemia in the Paediatric Emergency Unit. The correct identification of patients requiring urgent care is of central importance to provide timely interventions. However, considering that most patients are haemodynamically stable, transfusions are not always mandatory. Even in the setting of the Emergency Unit, the differential diagnosis can be narrowed with specific laboratory tests. The paper presents three exemplary cases from the experience of a Paediatric Emergency Unit that will help to provide a summary of the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to severe anaemia in infants and children.

Published: March 2023

El conocimiento de la funcionalidad de un sistema hidrogeológico es de vital importancia para su gestión y conservación. Una de las variables y entrada principal que alimenta al sistema es la Recarga Potencial (Rp) producto de la precipitación (P). La finalidad del presente trabajo es el diseño de un modelo regresor no lineal usando Redes Neuronales Artificiales (RNA). Para lo anterior, se utilizó los datos recolectados por el INETER para estimar la Rp a través de las variables de entrada como: precipitación (P), texturas de suelo y demás variables ambientales en el Acuífero ubicado en Managua.  Con la información recopilada, se procedió a la exploración de datos o ‘Data mining’ por medio de la estadística descriptiva, la cual permite presentar, interpretar y analizar los datos de forma comprensiva. Utilizando el lenguaje de programación Python ​(Rossum, 1991)​ y el entorno de trabajo JupyterLab, se procedió a desarrollar los elementos de la RNA a través de la librería Scikit -Learn o mejor conocida como Sklearn ​(Cournapeau, 2010)​. Posterior a las iteraciones y arreglos de los Hiperparámetros de la RNA, se logró un mejor ajuste utilizando la función de coste o ‘cost function’, la cual determina el error entre el valor estimado y el observado. Finalmente, se indican las configuraciones finales del modelo regresor para cada una de las texturas en la zona.

Published: March 2023

El análisis crítico de las actividades pesqueras surge de interés debido a su influencia e interacción con el medio ambiente, en este sentido se propuso estudiar las zonas de pescas propias de la parte central del pacífico de Nicaragua (Masachapa y Casares), esto bajo el esquema de estudio de caso a través de una triangulación, la cual nos permitió conocer las actividades pesqueras, así mismo desarrollar un análisis crítico de estas y el medio circundante. Se concluye que las condiciones de ambas zonas de estudio son particularmente parecidas entre sí, responden a playas con poca amplitud, relativamente planas y están organizadas de acuerdo a la factibilidad del terreno; Se abordaron 11 grupos de personas (n=52) a través de los cuales se constató que, en la actualidad aun se impone la pesca artesanal en ambas comunidades pesqueras, además de contabilizarse principalmente seis artes de pesca. Fue evidente un deficiente control y seguimiento de las especies marinas que son capturadas de diversas maneras, sean o no especies objeto, lo que incluye especies en algún grado de amenaza, en otro orden, fue notorio un mal manejo en los desechos orgánicos y demás contaminantes directos de la actividad pesquera. Se enmarcan similitudes en las actividades de pesca, pero diferencias en el trato hombre-recurso, evidenciándose un cambio de comportamiento marcado entre los pescadores de Masachapa y Casares

Belly Up: How Corporate Interests Are Keeping an Unsustainable Tasmanian Aquaculture Afloat and Failing to Protect the Welfare of the Nonhuman Animals Affected
Authors: Tselepy Jessica C.
Published: March 2023

The Tasmanian salmon industry has become one of the state's most profitable industries to date. Though production conditions notoriously lack transparency, there is a clear dependency on the mass production of complex nonhuman animals who are kept in inappropriate conditions and subject to harmful industry practices. This article explores why the Tasmanian Environmental Protection Agency recently approved the construction of the largest salmon hatchery in Australia, despite serious environmental sustainability and welfare concerns. It considers the likely impact of the new hatchery on the welfare of both the farmed nonhuman animals and the surrounding free-ranging life and advocates for industry improvements that are guided by considerations of nonhuman animal welfare and environmental sustainability.
Analysis of Series Resistance's (RS) Impact on Ag/Perylene/n-Si Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) in Various Techniques
Authors: YÜKSELTÜRK Esra , ZEYREK Sedat
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this research is to experimentally examine how Rs affects the I-V curves of Ag/Perylene/n-Si SBD. Various plots of the experimental I-V measurements with the forward voltage are wielded in order to determine the parameter Rs. The I-V properties of Ag/Perylene/n-Si SBD was evaluated at room temperature (RT) based on Thermionic-Emission (TE) model. We specified the Rs values using Ohm law, Cheungs’, and modified Norde functions. We compared the Rs values utilized various techniques. Modified Norde functions apply to the ln I-V graph's all forward voltage region. On the other hand, Cheung's approaches are just feasible in the non-linear section in the high voltage region. The Rs values obtained from various techniques are distinct and are dedicated in the table. The reason for this inconsistency is shown in our research. It is evident that the values of the Rs determined using various approaches are in good accordance with one another. The Ohm's law derived from sufficiently high forward voltages is the one among them that is the most straightforward, precise, and dependable. It was demonstrated by the I-V data that the dispersion of Rs is a key factor affecting the electrical properties of diodes.

Some Aspects of Ergativity in English and Arabic
Authors: Hameed Joodi Abdul Majeed
Published: March 2023

The present study is a contrastive analysis of the notion of Ergativity in English1 and Arabic2. It attempts to discuss this phenomenon to find out the points of similarity and difference between the two languages in this particular linguistic area. It offers an explanation and a detailed description of the term and illustrates the various types and forms of verbs that can be handled under the headings ergative verbs and non-ergative verbs showing how the former differ from the latter. Additionally, it investigates the verbs which are used both transitively and intransitively in the two languages. All these types of verbs will be  identified, classified, and analyzed  according to the Quirk grammar - the approach to grammatical description pioneered by Randolph Quirk and his associates, and published in a series of reference grammars during the 1970s and 1980s, notably A Grammar of Contemporary English (1972) and its successor  A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language in1985. Reference, will, however, be made, wherever necessary, to the principles, techniques and terminology of other models of grammar. The method is, thus, more or less, eclectic. As far as ergativity in Arabic is concerned, the study adopts the model of grammatical description and classification pioneered by traditional Arab grammarians such as Siibawayhi, Ibn ‘Aqiil, and Mubarrid, and by modern Arab grammarians like Ghalaayiinii, ‘Udhaymah, and ‘Abbaas Hasan, among others. The conclusion part offers the main findings of the study.

Re-presenting Shylock: An Examination of Post-Holocaust and Adaptation in The Merchant of Venice Play and Film Adaptations
Authors: Alatrash Muhammad, K.,
Published: March 2023

This paper examines the depiction of Jews, particularly the character of Shylock, in William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice in comparison with those of two adaptations: Arnold Wesker's play The Merchant and Michael Radford's film The Merchant of Venice. Shakespeare's original work has been the subject of much scholarly discussion, with some perceiving it as perpetuating negative stereotypes and others as offering a nuanced and complex view of the character. Wesker's adaptation reinterprets the portrayal of Jews to challenge the negative representation in Shakespeare's play, highlighting themes of love, family, and relationships. Radford's film, on the other hand, offers a more nuanced and dynamic portrayal of the Jewish community than we are used to seeing in representations on film, and sheds light on the impact of anti-Semitic prejudice. It focuses on highlighting the Jewish/Christian disagreement and the extent to which Jews are victimized in Shakespeare's play, using filmic techniques to create a powerful representation with a deeper understanding of justice, discrimination, and dehumanization. Both adaptations offer a more nuanced portrayal of the Jewish community and challenge negative stereotypes perpetuated by Shakespeare's original work.

A simple staining solution is used here to detect ASR in concrete specimens. The staining reagent employed here is Sodium Cobaltinitrite, which is used in the Los Alamos staining method to detect ASR. Sodium Cobaltinitrite can identify potassium-rich ASR gel by staining it yellow for rapid field screening purposes. Reactive and control concrete specimens were cast to get some experience with this test and to verify whether this test can be used in a suspected concrete structure. Waste white soda-lime glass aggregate was used to cast reactive concrete specimens, whereas natural coarse aggregates were used to cast non-reactive concrete specimens. Testing was carried out in two batches. Each batch consisted of six reactive and six control concrete specimens which were cured in the above-mentioned solutions. The first batch was examined after 44-days and the second batch was tested after 60-days of casting. Results of this test showed that reactive concrete specimens cast using glass displayed yellow stains as expected, demonstrating the presence of potassium-rich ASR gel on the concrete surface. Employing NaOH as a curing medium had accelerated ASR. There is a limitation in the method when utilizing KOH as a curing agent. It is concluded that Sodium Cobaltinitrite can be used as a method for rapid identification of ASR in the preliminary stages of experimental identification of the alkali-aggregate reaction in an existing concrete structure.

Introduction: Dental treatment for pregnant women is still a source of insecurity for many professionals, including those in the dental field. Among the changes present is the increase in the rate of dental caries, acid enamel erosion, and, of paramount importance, a greater predisposition to periodontal disease. Objective: It was to present the main considerations of dental care and treatment in pregnant and lactating women through a concise systematic review. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The search was carried out from December 2022 to February 2023 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases, using articles from 2014 to 2022. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 120 articles were found, 29 articles were evaluated in full and 16 were included and developed in this systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 20 studies with a high risk of bias and 32 studies that did not meet GRADE. Drug therapy in pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as any form of surgical intervention, always requires a careful assessment of the risks potentially involved in this practice. In this way, the dental surgeon must prescribe rationally and responsibly, to avoid the undesirable effects that may be caused by the use of medications. It is of paramount importance, the constantly updating of the professional, through the search for recent information in updated references or specialized centers, about the drugs and their possible harmful effects on the mother and the child.
