Published: June 2021

Dentro do processo de criação literária, a novela, trata-se de uma das várias manifestações em prosa. À vista disso, a televisão vem explorando tal componente através do núcleo artístico das telenovelas brasileiras, com instigantes possibilidades, inclusive, de trazer Ã  tona, cenas clássicas que fizeram grande sucesso e marcaram época na dramaturgia. Nesse enquadramento, pelo viés da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, enquanto dispositivo teórico e analítico, vê-se o mobilizar da memória discursiva, que repete, refuta e transforma-se, histórico e socialmente na ação da literatura telenovelística, produzindo efeitos de memória nos telespectadores, gerando novas formulações no interdiscurso das personagens que se comportam como Ã quelas e trazem o repetível, “puro já dito”, em outros momentos da teledramaturgia. Desse modo, este artigo pretende analisar a presença da memória discursiva e do interdiscurso na ação que o personagem Athaíde tenta fugir e reviver/refazer a cena em que Marco Aurélio “faz um gesto de mandar uma banana para o Brasil”, dando visibilidade aos movimentos parafrásticos e polissêmicos que se fundam sob essas diferentes conjunturas. Focam-se como objetos de análises as novelas Vale Tudo (1988) e Pega Pega (2017), veiculadas pela TV Globo e como corpus discursivo utilizou-se duas imagens que circulam na mídia digital.

Para tal, utilizar-se-ão dos poemas da sua trilogia da obra Meia Palavra Vasta (2014), Palavra de Amolar (2015) e Palavrazia (2015). Esta é uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho crítico reflexiva sobre questões que envolvem o texto poético desse escritor. Teóricos como Bosi (1977), Antônio Candido (1996) entre outros contribuem para essa reflexão.
An Infectious Curiosity: Morbid Curiosity and Media Preferences during a Pandemic
Authors: Scrivner Coltan
Published: June 2021

In this study conducted during the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic, I explored how trait morbid curiosity was related to interest in 1) factual information about Coronavirus that was specifically morbid; 2) general factual information about Coronavirus; 3) pandemic and virus genres of films and TV shows; and 4) genres of film and TV shows that center around threat more broadly. Participants (n = 125) who scored high in morbid curiosity reported increased interest, compared to usual, in pandemic/virus genres as well as horror and thriller genres. Morbidly curious participants were also more interested specifically in morbid information about Coronavirus. Furthermore, disgust sensitivity was unrelated to these preferences. These results provide initial evidence that trait morbid curiosity can predict particular media preferences in the face of a real threat, and that morbid curiosity may reflect an adaptive predisposition in some individuals toward learning about the dan­gerous and disgusting aspects of a threat.

Published: June 2021

A method for the determination of the glass composition in the systems PbO – SiO2 and K2O – PbO – SiO2 with different additives present both in historical and modern art glass is considered. Development of a non-destructive method for determining the glass composition in conditions of museum storage is an important goal for museum practice. We propose a method for determining the composition of those glasses using a portable X-ray fluorescence analyzer (XRF). To select the optimal software suitable for measurements, we have synthesized a number of standard glass samples with the composition determined by ICP-AES. A glass sample of was dissolved in an autoclave in a mixture of nitric, hydrofluoric, and perchloric acids. The lead content in standard samples was simultaneously determined gravimetrically after fusion of the sample with sodium carbonate. Using XRF measurements of standard samples we development of a method for determination of the glass composition with an accuracy sufficient to assign the glass to one of the groups of historical glasses. The results obtained can be used for attribution of lead glass products. The content of potassium oxide in historical samples was estimated by XRF method using two independent programs with subsequent averaging of the data obtained. When using our method, the error of potassium, silicon and lead determination does not exceed 10%, which is sufficient for a museum description and attribution of an item. The developed procedure was tested in analysis of the items from the collection of the State Museum of Ceramics («Kuskovo Estate of the 18th century»).
Study of the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy AMg6 and steel 12Kh18N10T in conditions of loading under the impact of environmental factors

Published: June 2021

Stress corrosion cracking is one of the most dangerous types of corrosion damage in metallic materials. We present the results of studying the impact of environmental factors on the susceptibility of AMg6 aluminum alloy and 12Kh18N10T stainless steel to stress corrosion cracking under four-point bending. Tests of loaded samples were carried out in laboratory and field conditions of the moderately warm climate of the coastal zone over a period of six months. The samples were examined daily with fixation of the time to their destruction and upon completion of the tests the appearance of the samples and the depth of intergranular corrosion on microsections were assessed. A 3D relief was constructed using macro photography of the surface with the determination of the depth of corrosion foci. We also carried out a comparative analysis of the frequency of stress-induced destruction of steel samples of various grades both in atmospheric and laboratory conditions. It is shown that in atmospheric conditions characterized by the presence of dust particles acting as concentrators for the formation of corrosion foci, the aggressiveness of the corrosive effect of the environment increases, whereas the general corrosion resistance of materials decreases. The most pronounced effect of the environment was recorded in AMg6 alloy samples when exposed under a ventilated canopy in conditions of periodic spraying of seawater aerosols. The depth of surface corrosion damage was up to 0.1 mm. When the test samples were exposed under other conditions (salt fog chamber and louvered storage) the corrosion damage was absent. The results obtained can be used to predict the corrosion resistance of the products made of AMG6 alloy and 12Kh18N10T steel when operated in conditions of loading under the impact of environmental factors.
Interpretation of bi-directional tests on piles with the evaluation of stress relief at the pile toe
Authors: Dada Thais Lucouvicz , Massad Faiçal
Published: June 2021

This paper presents the interpretation of bi-directional load tests performed on three auger piles, in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, using a method based on transfer functions for the shaft and toe. Elastic shortenings of the shaft were directly measured through a displacement indicator at the pile top and two telltales at the upper and bottom plates of the expansive cell. The equivalent top-down load-settlement curves were estimated and compared with two other methods from the literature, one which considers the pile infinitely rigid; and the other, which takes the pile elastic shortening into account. The curves resulted in good agreement considering the pile compressibility. Yet for the infinitely rigid pile, the settlements resulted in up to 75% smaller. Furthermore, the influence of stress relief on the toe behavior due to shaft lifting was investigated. For the cases studied, involving bored and auger piles with the slenderness ratio (Ls/r) greater than 20, the percentage of this effect was generally small, up to 5% of the toe load, being negligible for practical uses.

El beneficio húmedo del café demanda grandes cantidades de agua, además de generar mucílago y pulpa que se integran a las aguas superficiales. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar las propiedades físicas y químicas del agua de río Cuxtepec, río Cabañas y su principal afluente, ubicado en La Concordia, Chiapas, México. En estas aguas son descargados los subproductos derivados del beneficiado húmedo del café durante el periodo de cosecha. Los sitios de muestreo fueron arroyo San Pedro, río Cabañas, ranchería 30 de Agosto y río Cuxtepec, las muestras de agua se obtuvieron durante octubre y diciembre 2016; enero, abril y junio 2017. Se determinó pH, conductividad eléctrica (CE), sólidos disueltos totales (SDT), sólidos suspendidos totales (SST), sólidos sedimentables (SS), demanda química de oxígeno (DQO), demanda bioquímica de oxígeno (DBO), nitrógeno total (NT), amonio(NH4+), nitritos (NO2‾), nitratos (NO3‾) como N, fósforo total (PT), dureza del agua (DA), temperatura del agua (TA) y la temperatura ambiental (T. Amb). El contenido de DQO y DBO varió de un sitio a otro, con valores máximos entre 7.7 y 1.25 mg L-1, respectivamente. Esta baja concentración permitió altos contenidos de oxígeno al nivel de 7.99 mg L-1. Asimismo, la carga de SDT fue de 149.7 mg L-1 y pH de 8.9, estas son condiciones favorables para la vida acuática. En general, los valores medidos en corrientes aguas abajo a las plantas tradicionales del procesamiento húmedo de café no presentaron niveles que indiquen riesgos para los usos del agua en actividades agrícolas, pecuarias y consumo humano en las áreas cercanas a los cuerpos de agua. Estos hallazgos plantean la necesidad de establecer un sistema de monitoreo de los contaminantes señalados en la zona cafetalera de Chiapas, para mejorar el manejo ecológico de las aguas residuales provenientes del beneficiado húmedo del café.
Development and Testing of an Education Service Quality Model [Abstract]
Authors: D Senn William , Prybutok Gayle , Boonme Kittipong , R. Prybutok Victor
Published: June 2021

Aim/Purpose: This study builds upon theory to develop and test a parsimonious model of service quality importance, the Higher Education Service Quality Importance (HESQI) Model, for use in standardized, frequent surveys of student satisfaction in higher education service delivery.

Background: Educational institutions operating in the higher education marketplace are facing increased competition for students. In order to be competitive in terms of the student services provided, these institutions need a method to evaluate and measure, on a frequent and recurring basis, the quality and performance of their services.

Methodology: A survey was developed and administered to a stratified random sample of 1,400 students at a large public university in the southwestern United States. The 56% response rate was comprised of 790 total respondents. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze model constructs and latent variables. Reliability, validity, non-response bias, and common method bias were assessed as part of the research.

Contribution: The HESQI is a compact, parsimonious instrument that can be administered in a cost-effective manner for faster, point-in-time checks of student satisfaction with less survey fatigue than larger instruments.
Findings Service quality is significantly correlated with student satisfaction. The developed model is capable of explaining nearly 70% of the variance in student perceptions of satisfaction.

Recommendations for Practitioners: The developed HESQI instrument addresses the need for a quick and easy measurement instrument to assess student satisfaction in higher education institutions. The HESQI instrument simplifies data collection and analysis and can be used on a frequent and ongoing basis to gain rapid insight into service and quality issues affecting students.

Recommendations for Researchers: The development of the HESQI provides an instrument that researchers can use to study the delivery of auxiliary services in higher education. In addition, the methodology used has implications for how to develop and test other parsimonious instrument for use in other contexts.

Impact on Society: Higher education is of critical value to societal mobility. As such providing a better experience for those who seek education is important and services are an important part of that experience. The HESQI has an important role in helping to improve that experience because it allows measuring the satisfaction with changes that are made to improve auxiliary services which are important to the overall environment and experience.

Future Research: Future research may be carried out to further validate and confirm the research findings and use it in other environments. Also, research may consider a single item instrument in similar environments.

Molecular Evaluations and Genetic Divergence of Erynnis tages and Erynnis marloyi (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae) Based on mtCOI Gene with Turkey Populations
Authors: KIZILDAĞ Sibel
Published: June 2021

Erynnis tages and Erynnis marloyi were known as European species until recent years. Due to their narrow distribution areas, the morphological similarities of the two species were very high, and their status was controversial. However, as the records of these species came from the new regions, their distribution areas turned out to be wide, contrary to what is known. With the mtCOI gene barcode, there was a chance to identify genetic variations hidden between inter-species and intra-species. The present study was the first time the barcode characterization of populations in Turkey and other registered population of barcodes with the genetic variation were assessed. Phylogenetic trees based on mt COI gene sequences were created using Neighbor-joining, Bayesian inference, and maximum-likelihood algorithms. Genetic divergence was confirmed by Automatic Barcode Gap Analysis using the Kimura 2 parameter. It is genetically confirmed that E.tages and E.marloyi are two distinct species independent from each other. E.tages population of Turkey was found genetically similar to that of the population belonging to southern Italy. Southern Russia was also genetically similar. However, E. marloyi Turkey's population was genetically similar to the population of Iran.
Characterization of Iranian Olive Oils based on Biophenolic Minor Polar Compounds and their Contribution to Organoleptic Properties
Authors: SHAVAKHİ Forough , RAHMANİ Anosheh , MORADİ Parviz
Published: June 2021

The presence of several minor compounds, such as biophenols, are associated with the quality, health benefits and sensory characteristics of olive oil. The objectives of this study were to compare the profile of the individual phenolic compounds of major brands of olive oils produced in Iran and to correlate the minor polar biophenolic compounds with sensorial properties and finally discriminate the samples. In order to define similarities and differences between Iranian virgin olive oils, profiles of their biophenolic compounds have been investigated using HPLC, analysis of variances and principal component analysis (PCA). Samples of olive oil were notably varied in terms of individual biophenolic compounds and total phenolic content (TPC). Hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, oleuropein, luteolin, apigenin, and ligstroside aglycone (aldehyde and hydroxylic form) were detected in all samples, whereas caffeic acid was not found in any brands. Based on the differentiating made by PCA, samples were categorized into two distinct groups (TPC<300 and TPC>300 mg tyrosol/kg of olive oil). The analysis of the main components resulted in a model that describes 86% of the total variance discriminating them from the minor biophenolic compounds of the examined olive oils. This analysis can be considered for assessing the quality and commercial needs related to preferences on olive oil.

Lens opacity, which leads to cataract, is one of the most complicated issues in ophthalmology. Pathophysiology of cataract progression is far from being clearly established. Despite low lipid content in the lens of the eye, there is an assumption that they and their predecessors may be involved in the development of this disease. Given the many roles of monounsaturated fatty acids, it can be expected that variations in stearoyl-Coa desaturase activity will affect a number of key physiological processes.

Pulmonary Involvement in COVID-19 and ‘Long Covid’: The Morbidity, Complications and Sequelae
Authors: Vinod Nikhra
Published: June 2021

Introduction: the perennial pandemic: There are serious challenges posed by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 as the disease. With the persistence of the pandemic over one and half year, it is being feared that the COVID-19 may have become the new reality associated with human existence world over and the mankind may have to live with it for years or even decades. Further, the grievous nature of the disease is evolving further with genomic changes in the virus in form of mutations and evolution of variants, with enhanced infectivity and probably virulence. Acute and chronic phases of COVID-19: Epidemiologically, it is becoming clear that apart from the advanced age and pre-existing conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal diseases, certain constituent factors render some patients more vulnerable to more severe forms of the disease. These factors influence the COVID-19 manifestations, its course, and later the convalescence period as well as the newly defined ‘Long COVID phase. The substantial continuing morbidity after resolution of the infection indicates persisting multisystem effects of ‘Long Covid’. Lung damage associated with COVID-19: COVID-19 is primarily a respiratory disease presenting with a broad spectrum of respiratory tract involvement ranging from mild upper airway affliction to progressive life-threatening viral pneumonia and respiratory failure. It affects the respiratory system in various ways across the spectrum of disease severity, depending on age, immune status, and comorbidities. The symptoms may be mild, such as cough, shortness of breath and fevers, to severe and critical disease, including respiratory failure, shock, cytokine crisis, and multi-organ failure. Implications for the post-COVID care: Depending on the severity of respiratory inflammation and damage, as well as associated comorbidities, duration of injury and genetics, the progressive fibrosis leads to constriction and compression of lung tissues and damage to pulmonary microvasculature. Consequently, the COVID-19 patients with moderate/severe symptoms are likely to have a significant degree of long-term reduction in lung function. Depending on the severity of the disease, extensive and long-lasting damage to the lungs can occur, which may persist after resolution of the infection. Managing the long COVID’s challenges: Given global scale of the pandemic, the healthcare needs for patients with sequelae of COVID-19, especially in those with lung affliction are bound to increase in the near future. The challenge can be tackled by harnessing the existing healthcare infrastructure, development of scalable healthcare models and integration across various disciplines with a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological modalities. Following clinical and investigational assessment, the therapeutic strategy should depend on the disease manifestations, extent of damage in lungs and other organs, and associated complications.
Synthesizing postpartum care pathways, facilitators, and barriers for women after cesarean section: a qualitative analysis from rural Rwanda

Published: June 2021

Background

In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), c-section is the most commonly performed operation, and surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common post-operative complication following all surgical procedures performed. Whilst multiple interventions have been rolled out to address high SSI rates, strategies for optimal care of patients at risk of developing SSIs need to include an understanding of the general care seeking behaviors, facilitators, and barriers among high-risk groups, including mothers delivering via c-section. This study explores the healthcare experiences of women who delivered by c-section section, from giving birth through recovery, and their associated decision-making, perceptions of care, and social and financial supports.

Methods

We conducted protocol-guided interviews in rural Kirehe District, Rwanda with twenty-five mothers who delivered by c-section at Kirehe District Hospital between February-April 2018, exploring their experience with delivery, hospitalization, recovery, and complications. Coded interviews were analyzed using the Grounded Theory approach to identify emergent themes. Thematic saturation was achieved.

Results

Overall, women largely followed the tiered referral system, as it was designed. A majority faced financial barriers to returning to care, and a majority were not able to describe the reason for their c-section, the complications experienced, or the treatment prescribed. We constructed a process map to summarize key steps where interventions should be designed to promote facilitators, to reduce barriers, and to identify and target the women being diverted from this designated path.

Conclusions

Understanding the existing healthcare pathway and the associated facilitators and barriers among postpartum women is critical to designing appropriate interventions that properly serve their needs. Our findings strongly suggest that moving or complimenting post-operative wound assessments from the health center into home-based care, and ensuring unified messaging around c-section indications, care, and complications at the community-level are two of the areas that may improve utilization of existing healthcare infrastructure for women who deliver by c-section in rural districts in Rwanda.

The Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia is an archipelagic country most of which is in the form of water. In maintaining the security and integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, several Navy bases were built which spread from Sabang to Merauke. In terms of meeting the needs of military supplies for soldiers throughout the territory of Indonesia, an Information System for monitoring the distribution of military supplies is needed that is transparent, timely, on target so that any military supplies distributed can be received by each soldier under their respective rights. So far, there is no information system in the process of distributing military supplies, so it is very difficult to monitor the distribution of military supplies, so there are often delays and even wrong deliveries. This study aims to design an information system that can monitor the distribution of military supplies from the top units to the lowest units throughout Indonesia to reduce errors that are still happening in the field in terms of the distribution of military supplies using the Unified Modeling Language (Unified Modeling Language) method. UML) such as Use Case Diagrams, Class Diagrams, and Activity Diagrams. The result of this research is to be able to create an Information System that is under functional and non-functional needs that can handle the problems that have existed so far in terms of monitoring the distribution of military supplies so that there are no delays in the distribution of military supplies.

Authors: Ajibade AJ  , Ogundero SA
Published: June 2021

This study investigated the neurohistological effect of lead acetate on cerebellar cortex of adult wistar rats. Lead is a common industrial poisonous substance that its prevalence in the environment exhibits toxic effect which makes different organs & tissues especially the central nervous system vulnerable to lead exposure. Lead is however, found useful applications in diverse items of daily needs like paints, water pipes, car batteries, leaded gasoline, ammunition, cosmetics, hair dye, airplanes, shielding for x-ray machines. Thirty-six (36) adult wistar rats of both sexes weighing between 120-250 grams were randomly grouped into four groups. Group A, B, C and D each group containing seven (9) rats. Group A rats served as the control, and was maintained on standard feed and water for 28 days, group B, C and D rats were treated orally once daily with 0.09g/kg, 0.18g/kg and 0.2g/kg of lead acetate respectively for 28 days. The weights of the wistar rats were recorded on weekly basis during the treatment. All the wistar rats in group A, B, C and D were sacrificed by cervical dislocation on the 29th day of the treatment. The brain was removed and weighed with a sensitive balance and the cerebellum of each rats was then fixed in 10% formol saline, the tissue was processed and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin for histological study. Results showed that the mean body weights of the wistar rats significantly decreased in the treated groups when compared with the control group. The mean brain weights of the lead treated groups showed a significant decrease when compared to the control group. Histological study of the brain (cerebellar cortex) of the treated groups demonstrated degenerative changes revealed shrinkage, reduced sized and cellular loss of the Purkinje cells with vacuolations in the Purkinje cell layer compared with normal cerebellar histoarchitecture in the control. The study concluded that lead acetate has a neurotoxic effect on the cerebellar cortex of adult wistar rats which may ultimately impair some cerebellar functions.

In this study there are demonstrated for the first time in albanian literature the palynomorphologic characteristics of two types of plants (Centaurea epirota and Viola epirota), collected in Zagoria valley, Gjirokastra region, in Albania. To carry out the study, light microscopy was used and it was concluded that the pollen grains of Centaurea epirota were 3 colporate, isopolar, with radial symmetry. In the polar view, the pollen grains have a circular triangular shape while in the equatorial view they have a compressed oval shape. Exine appeared scabrate. Viola epirota consisted of 3-4 colporate, sometimes even 5 colporate pollen grains. In the polar view, the pollen grains had a circular shape of 3 or 4 angles, sometimes even 5 angles while in the equatorial view they had an elliptical shape. Exine appeared granulate. To see the impact of ecological factor and the method of laboratory processing of pollen grains, the size of the new species studied was compared with the size of the pollen grains of Centaurea cyanus and Viola alba, Viola odorata and Viola arvensis, taken from the native literature.

Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) in superficial fungal infections are major worldwide public health problem that affects a large part of the human population globally. The antifungal potentials of violacein extracted from Chromobacterium violaceum isolated from domestic and recreational water sources in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria, was assessed. Three water samples were collected from different locations of the Otamiri River, five from different swimming pools and three from different borehole locations in Owerri Metropolis. The samples were cultured on nutrient agar by pour plate method. The violet colonies of Chromobacterium violaceum were counted, characterized and identified. Water sample from Otamiri River station-1 had the highest bacteria count (20.00 × 101 CFU/Ml and 19.50 × 101 CFU/mL) respectively. Swimming pool 1 and 3 bacterial counts were (14.50 × 101 CFU/mL, 11.00 × 101 CFU/mL and 11.50 × 101 CFU/mL) respectively. For borehole 1, 2 and 3, swimming pool 2, 4 and 5 counts were (0.00 × 101 CFU/mL). The ethanolic extracts from the isolates (violacein) and the control drug (fluconazole 50µg/mL) both had inhibitory effects on the test organisms (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) at different concentrations. The MIC of Fluconazole on Candida albicans and A. niger were 25µg/ml and 50µg/Ml, respectively. Violacein from both swimming pools and Otamiri River isolates had MIC of 8.75mg/ml on A. niger and MIC of 4.375mg/ml on Candida albicans. Violacein which proved to have inhibitory effects on Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger can be harnessed for treatment of infections caused by these fungi.
COVID 19 vaccine induced glycaemic disturbances in DM2 -A Case Report
Authors: A S V Prasad
Published: June 2021

The possibility of disturbances in Blood Sugar (BS) levels of Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) patients, following vaccination for Covid 19, is suggested, but not proved. No documented proof that vaccination actually disturbs the BS, is lacking. This article presents the first documented case of disturbed blood sugar, in a patient with DM2, on insulin, following vaccination for Covid 19 (Covishield).It is observed that initially there is increased Insulin Resistance, (IR) resulting in hyperglycaemia, which is temporary, self-limiting and doesn’t call for any increase in insulin dosage.This is followed by a more critical period, when there is increased insulin sensitivity, requiring decrease the pre- vaccination dose of insulin, as the risk of hypoglycemia is observed, as in the case under consideration. Hence, close monitoring and titration of revised insulin dosage, is called for, using a glucometer, during this second phase. Ultimately, the BS and insulin sensitivity/IR, return to the pre-vaccination levels. These disturbances may not come to light, unless the BS, following Covid 19 vaccination, is closely monitored. It is not predictable as to, in whom these disturbances in BS might occurs, and why it does so. The above inferences drawn are based on objective interpretation of the, truthfully recorded observations, during the case study period.

Introduction: The duration of peri-operative antibiotic treatment for patients undergoing Trans Urethral Resection of the Urostate (TURP) and who have been catheterized pre-operatively, remains undecided. The efficacy of a short-versus a traditional long-course antibiotic regime was investigated in preventing post-operative bacteriuria for catheterized patients undergoing TURP at a single centre. Methodology: A randomized single blind, single centre clinical trial was conducted between September 2017 and May 2018. Patients were randomized into two groups (1:1). The control group received peri-operative antibiotics for 8 days and the intervention group for 3 days. Urinalysis and urine culture were performed pre-operatively, and post-operatively on day 2 and days 9 to 11, following TURP. All patients were followed up for 30 days after surgery for signs and symptoms of infectious complications. Results: A total of 83 patients were enrolled in the study. 78 patients were evaluable until day 2 and 66 until days 9 to 11. The incidence of bacteriuria at days 9 to 11 following TURP were 40 % and 38.7% in the intervention (short-course) and control (long-course) groups respectively (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.097 to 2.573). The incidence of Symptomatic Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) at the same time was 11.4% and 9.7% in intervention and control groups respectively (RR 1.27, 95% CI 0.10 to 2.57). None of the patients enrolled in the study developed clinical sepsis nor required re-admission during the follow up period. Conclusion: A short- course antibiotic is as effective as a long course in preventing infectious complications in catheterized patients undergoing TURP.

Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) have been established as indispensable tools in the assessment of Land use / Land cover (LULC) change. RS and GIS are important for the monitoring, modelling and mapping of land use and land cover changes across a range of spatial and temporal scales, in order to assess the extent, direction, causes, and effects of the changes. Change detection has provided suitable and wide-ranging information to various decision support systems for natural resource management and sustainable development. The main objective of the study is to assess and evaluate the extent and direction of changes in LULC of Aniocha North Local Government Area (LGA), Delta State, Nigeria to explain the changes and identify some of their effects on both the livelihoods of the local people and the local environment, and also to explore some of the conservation measures designed to overcome problems associated with land use and land cover changes. Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) of 2002 with 30 meters resolution and landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) 2014satellite images as well as GIS techniques were used to monitor the changes and to generate maps of the LULC of the area in these periods. Supervised Land Use/Land Cover classification algorithm (Maximum likelihood with null class) was used in the analysis of classification. The classification result of LandSat ETM+ (2002) revealed that farmland accounted for 36.34% of the total LULC class, followed by savannah which accounted for 24.15%. Forest built up area, and waterbody constituted 20.42%, 16.46% and 2.62% respectively. Also, the result of LandSat ETM (2014) shows that forest accounted for 38.59% followed by farmland with 30.93%. Built up area covers 25.55% while savannah and river cover 2.86% and 2.08% respectively. The classification shows 83.26 % average accuracy and 79.16 % overall accuracy for 2002 while the 2014 accuracy assessment showed 95.06% average accuracy and 94.99% overall accuracy. Growing population pressure and its associated problems, such as the increasing demand for land and trees, poor institutional and socio-economic settings, and also unfavorable government policies, such as lack of land tenure security and poor infrastructure development, have been the major driving forces behind the LULC changes.
