Case of Streptococcus massiliensis isolation from blood of patient with meningoencephalitis
Authors: Lyang OV , Pakhilova-Popova AV , Kabaeva AR , Boiko OV , Shamalov NA
Published: September 2022

To date, Streptococcus мassiliensis, the representative of human oral normobiota, was detected in the patients' blood only twice (which was confirmed by the reports published in 2004 and 2015). The patient with the demyelinating disease of the nervous system was routinely admitted to the neurological department for further examination and treatment. The diagnosis of meningoencephalitis was established based on the laboratory and instrumental tests. Meningoencephalitis was later complicated by bilateral multilobar pneumonia, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and multisystem organ failure. After sharp deterioration of patient's health in the form of the decreased level of consciousness and brainstem symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid was tested by PCR for markers of viral and bacterial infections, and blood was cultured. Bacterial growth was detected in blood culture, and then Streptococcus massiliensis, susceptible to benzylpenicillin, vancomycin, levofloxacin, linezolid, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, and erythromycin, was identified by time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Thus, it seems necessary to focus attention on this case of the Str. massiliensis isolation from blood due to the near total lack of data on the Str. мassiliensis biological role and the more frequent isolation of bacteria of the genus Streptococcus from sterile human body fluids.
Efeitos do cobre e zinco no tratamento da água residuária da suinocultura em lagoas de alta taxa e valorização energética da biomassa via carbonização hidrotérmica
Authors:   , Oliveira Adriana Paulo de Sousa
Published: September 2022

Nesse estudo foram avaliadas otimizações no processo integrado de cultivo de microalgas na água residuária da suinocultura (ARS) e conversão da biomassa em hidrochar. Para tanto, lagoas de alta taxa (LAT) em escala piloto foram alimentas com ARS com diferentes teores dos micronutrientes Cu e Zn considerando misturas desses elementos e também concentrações individuais. Para as misturas (0,1 - 3,0 mg Cu/L + 0,5 - 25,0 mg Zn/L), o maior número de células de microalgas foi estabelecido em 1,8 mg Cu/L + 15,0 mg Zn/L. Quando os teores individuais de Cu (0,1 - 4,0 mg Cu/L) ou Zn (0,5 – 70,0 mg Zn/L) foram variados, a condição mais propícia para o desenvolvimento algal foi obtido em 1,0 mg Cu/L e 40 mg Zn/L. Em todos os testes realizados ficou evidente que o Cu e o Zn comprometeram a remoção de nitrogênio amoniacal enquanto a redução de fósforo solúvel foi potencializada com a adequação desses micronutrientes. A remoção de Cu na ARS tratada em LAT variou de 46 a 91% com a precipitação sendo o processo predominante, já a remoção de Zn alcançou 78 a 99% no qual a adsorção pela biomassa foi um importante mecanismo. Ao analisar a constituição bioquímica das biomassas cultivadas em diferentes teores de Cu e Zn verificou-se que o conteúdo de lipídeos neutros (> 6%) é pouco atrativo para a obtenção de biodisel. Já os carboidratos atingiram 58,8% na biomassa seca livre de cinzas, com potencial para a conversão em hidrochar por meio da carbonização hidrotérmica (CHT). As cinzas também apresentaram concentrações expressivas (35 - 55%) sendo necessário identificar as interferências desse constituinte no processo de CHT. Para essa avaliação, quatro biomassas foram selecionadas e cada uma foi dividida em duas frações. Uma fração foi submetida ao pré-tratamento com solução ácida para redução de cinzas enquanto a outra permaneceu com o conteúdo de cinzas original. Ambas as frações foram utilizadas na CHT. Os resultados demostraram que o pré-tratamento favoreceu a recuperação de energia nos hidrochars a qual alcançou até 73,5%. Porém, as cinzas podem apresentar constituintes que atuam na hidrólise da biomassa ou como catalisadores. Assim, as cinzas possuem efeitos indesejáveis e favoráveis na CHT e os hidrochars produzidos com e sem a redução desse constituinte são indicados para aplicações energéticas e recuperação de áreas degradadas respectivamente.

A home away from home: building an organic online support community for Chinese students using WeChat
Authors: Zhou Xue , Wolstencroft Peter
Published: September 2022

Traditional university support structures have generally been predicated on a ‘one size fits all’ approach that stresses a mechanistic, bureaucratic approach. Support is transactional in nature with students accessing it only when needed. Support focuses on both individual tutorial and centralised mechanisms which have proved effective for only some students. This paper proposes an organic student support system that is based around five features: agility in the environment, a tutor-student partnership, informal two-way communication, a student-led community, the inclusion of a knowledge-hub. The student support system in this article is based around Chinese students at a large UK university who felt disenfranchised by the current support mechanisms, so an alternative model was set up using the group-based instant-messaging social media platform, WeChat. The findings of surveys and interviews with Chinese students demonstrated that the featured organic student support system proved extremely successful and is something that could be replicated with other groups of students in the future in UK higher education.
‘It can facilitate so much!’ Student writers’ practice of self-efficacy to develop their use of formulaic phrases
Authors: Davis Mary , Morley John
Published: September 2022

This study is about student writers’ development of their own approaches to using formulaic phrases from a compendium (Academic Phrasebank). While the essential role of formulaic phrases in academic texts has been well-established in research, teaching about the effective use of these phrases is not widely available, and little attention has been paid to how students learn to employ formulaic phrases in their own writing. Therefore, this research aims to explore this gap in understanding how student writers develop individual approaches to using formulaic phrases through the lens of self-efficacy.

Twelve self-selected student writer participants at undergraduate, Master’s and PhD levels were interviewed and asked about how they used formulaic phrases from the resource. Three key findings emerged from the data: firstly, that the resource may support inclusion as an empowering tool to enable student writers to participate confidently in academia; secondly, that students could employ the resource flexibly at different stages of the writing process depending on their individual approach to text construction; thirdly, that it could offer particular support with writing to students who have a specific learning difficulty (SpLD).

This paper contributes to understanding these individual student learning processes in the use of formulaic phrases for writing through self-efficacy. The implication for learning development is that making more guidance about formulaic phrases widely available and accessible would be beneficial to students’ writing processes.

A new bloom – adding ‘collaborate’ to Bloom’s taxonomy
Authors: Heller Richard
Published: September 2022

There are a number of opportunities for collaboration, within and between universities, locally, internationally, with industry and with other education providers. University graduates are likely to be placed in a work environment where collaboration is required. Collaboration within higher education institutions has been shown to enhance student learning, and collaborative learning to improve student outcomes. A proposal has been made to add ‘collaborate’ to Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives, to emphasise the importance of collaboration and to encourage its inclusion in the educational process and assessment. Collaborate is sited between ‘apply’ and ‘analyse’ in the revised Bloom’s taxonomy hierarchy, and the new version named the New Bloom. This opinion piece expands on the concept and adds the specific objective of ‘work or share with others’ with keywords ‘share, cooperate, reciprocate, achieve consensus’. It also offers a non-hierarchical representation of the taxonomy, with collaborate as an important feature of each of the other components. Adding collaborate to Bloom’s taxonomy is recommended to emphasise the importance of collaboration and its contribution to each of the other components of the taxonomy.

The existence of teachers as professional educators has a moral responsibility in developing children’s personalities, including improving the quality of students’ creativity. For this reason, professional educators need to first understand and be skilled at developing the creativity of students in the learning process. Therefore, this paper tries to explain how to become a creative desert to create creative children needed to achieve 21st century skills. The policy of “the new normal” is based on changing behavior or habits. The author realizes that changing behavior is strongly influenced by changes in thoughts and attitudes which in practice is not an easy job, apart from the result that a person’s thoughts and attitudes have been trapped by the old paradigm, it is also easy for changed thoughts, attitudes and behaviors to relapse. Therefore change requires active stretching

Objectives: COVID-19 vaccines lower the risk of infection hospitalization, and death. Despite the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, some caregivers are hesitant to vaccinate their children against COVID-19. In this study, we explored the factors that influence Omani mothers’ intentions to vaccinate their 5–11 year-old children. Methods: Of the 954 mothers approached, 700 (73.4%) participated in a cross-sectional face-to-face interviewer-administered questionnaire in Muscat, Oman, between 20 February and 13 March 2022. Data on age, income, level of education, trust in doctors, vaccine hesitancy, and intention to vaccinate their children were collected. Logistic regression was used to assess determinants of mothers’ intention to vaccinate their children. Results: Most mothers had 1–2 children (n = 525, 75.0%), had a college degree or higher education (73.0%), and were employed (70.8%). More than half (n = 392, 56.0%) reported that they were likely or very likely to get their children vaccinated. The intention to get children vaccinated was associated with older age (odds ratio (OR) = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.02–1.08; p =0.003), trust in their doctor (OR = 2.12, 95%, CI: 1.71–2.62; p < 0.001), and low vaccine hesitancy (OR = 25.91, 95% CI: 16.92–39.64; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Understanding the factors that influence caregivers’ intentions to vaccinate their children against COVID-19 is important for the development of evidence-based vaccine campaigns. To increase and sustain high vaccination rates for COVID-19 vaccination in children, it is critical to address the factors that cause caregiver hesitation about vaccines.

Dakwah merupakan kegiatan yang dilakukan oleh setiap pemuka agama Islam dalam menyampaikan syariat Islam yang terkandung baik dalam al-Qur’an maupun Sunnah Nabi Muhammad saw. Dalam menenyampaikan wahyu ini biasanya tidak sembanrang orang yang menyamaikannya perlu keahlian dan keterampilan dalam menyampaikannya terlebih memerlukan pemahaman agama yang mendalam dalam setiap isi pesannya. Adanya peran media masa mempermudah penyampaian pesan yang dahulu secara lisan kelisan menjadi tidak terbatas jarak dan waktu. Media baru tidak hanya dilakukan untuk hal-hal yang negatif saja. Media baru bisa juga berperan sebagai media yang positif terutama dalam menyebarkan kebaikan melalui dakwah. Media yang sering digunakan di zaman modern ini adalah media sosial. Media sosial merupakan media komunikasi yang hampir semua masyarakat dunia gunakan. Media baru yang digunakan untuk berdakwah ini juga berfungsi sebagai ruang publik. Informasi yang mengandung nilai agama Islam yang dibuat oleh para da’i ini dapat ditanggapi langsung oleh para mad’u, sehingga ruang publik dapat tercipta di media baru tersebut.

Media sosial yang termasuk sebagai media baru ini memberikan dampak positif dalam menyebarkan kebaikan.

The influence of traffic congestion on shopping location choice in the eThekwini region
Authors:   , Ssemugooma Dennis Kasirye
Published: September 2022

Shopping used to be a key function that defined the Central Business District (CBD) (Evangelista, Low, Nguyen 2019: 150). However, the author believes that the central position occupied by traditional shopping locations as preferred shopping locations has deteriorated. Due to severe urban core traffic congestion, the decline in the dominance of the CBD can be attributed to the decrease in shopping trip frequency (Kusumowidagdo, Sachari, Sachari, and Widobo 2015: 53), as well as the increase in the establishment of nearby shopping locations in the outer areas of the city. Hence the loss of economic viability and the reduction of retail areas (Guimaraes 2018: 128). This study aims to determine the influence of traffic congestion on shopping preference in the Ethekwini area. Quantitative, non-probabilistic research methods, and convenience sampling techniques were used to identify and select the participants that make up the 400 participants. In this study, convenience and accessibility, tenant mix, entertainment, safety, and parking spaces are key attributes of shopping. The results also show that traffic congestion density affects shoppers’ perception of shopping location preferences. This study suggests that city decision makers must consider and combine all mitigation measures to eliminate traffic congestion and restore the economic vitality of the CBD. The results cannot be generalised to a wider population and are only applicable to the specific participants under study.

An investigation of sociodemographics, nutrition knowledge and dietary intakes of Black students attending the Steve Biko Campus of Durban Institute of Technology
Authors:   , Ntuli Zamantuli
Published: September 2022

Change in the dietary pattern of South Africans has been attributed to urbanisation and acculturation. Urbanisation has resulted in a shift in the composition of dietary staples and increased consumption of fat and sugar. Within a South African context, the change in diet is from a traditional prudent African diet, low in fat and high fibre to a Western diet high in fat and refined carbohydrates. Research conducted amongst young adult populations has documented several examples of poor dietary patterns associated with urbanisation which include skipping meals, following fad diets, greater consumption of snack foods (high in saturated fat and sugar) and avoidance of certain food groups, particularly fruit and vegetable. Dietary factors related to an increase in diseases of lifestyle are a high fat, low fibre diet, as well as an insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables. This in turn has lead to higher energy intakes with insufficient and imbalanced micronutrient intake. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the nutritional adequacy of student eating habits and to determine the influence of nutrition knowledge, sociodemographic factors and weight status on students’ diets.

Authors: Benny Munardi  , Muhammad Julfahmi Nasution  , Irham Dongoran
Published: September 2022

Many complaints from parents, educators, and the public regarding the behavior of teenagers that are difficult to control, naughty, stubborn, deviant behavior, and others. This problem also occurs in Bulu Bargut Village, Marbao, North Labuhan Batu, North Sumatra. Therefore, community service programs are used as a solution to solve juvenile delinquency by directing them to useful activities. This community service uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, by being directly involved in extracting diverse information, then taking action as a solution to problems that have been identified, and by participating in building the design and implementation of actions based on research results. The basis for doing PAR is the need to get the desired changes. During the seventeen days of activities carried out, it has succeeded in instilling the love of Al-Qur'an in teenagers. With the love of the Qur'an, it is hoped that they can stay away from and reduce the existence of useless activities during the month of Ramadan such as wild racing playing social media, and games. Then the result of the community service program is that the community is enthusiastic to participate in the activities held such as training activities on the nature of the prophet's wudu, lectures before tarawih salat, Friday khatib, and iftar jama’i. So the program carried out is very effective in overcoming and handling juvenile delinquency in Pulo Bargot Village through intensive learning of the Qur'an and teaching Islamic morals. Then what is more important is that the community support is very positive in receiving this program. Likewise, teenagers are very enthusiastic about memorizing the Qur'an and participating in programs implemented during community service programs.

Russian Private Military and Ukraine: Hybrid Surrogate Warfare and Russian State Policy by Other Means
Authors: Foley Emmet , Kaunert Christian
Published: September 2022

This article investigates the Russian government’s reliance on commercial soldiers in the hybrid war efforts against Ukraine until the invasion in February 2022. Russian private military companies (PMCs), such as RUSCORP and the Wagner group, have already been active in Syria and Africa over the last years, signalling the resurgence of Russian machinations on the world stage. They also played a key part in the annexation of Crimea in 2014, as well as the struggles on Ukraine’s Eastern border areas around Luhansk and Donbas. The article shows that PMCs have become an integral part of the Kremlin’s approach to foreign policy. Unlike Western PMCs, which can arguably augment their ability to provide effective public security, Russian PMCs are used to construct insecurities to the point of fighting hybrid surrogate wars. While they fulfil the same outcome for the Russian state to be strengthened through the public-private security arrangements, their function is radically different: (1) providing deniability without the deployment of Russian troops, (2) providing military ambiguity and (3) thus, furthering the Kremlin’s foreign policy objectives. The significance of the deployment of these PMCs is that they are an extension of the Russian security apparatus, closely linked to the FSB, GRU and SVR, and with similar command and control structures, staffed by former members of the Russian security services.

The article compares the past and present of Azerbaijan in the field of chemistry. It was noted that the Azerbaijani scientist, who once discovered high-octane gasoline, contributed to our victory in the Great Patriotic War. Nevertheless, today Azerbaijan lags far behind in the chemical industry. Lagging areas of the chemical industry are listed. This is why there is a serious need for the development of chemistry. To develop chemistry, it is necessary to teach chemistry in schools in accordance with modern requirements. This challenge can be met with the skillful use of ICT and new teaching methods. Modeling occupies a special place among these methods. The latest scientific and methodological literature on modeling has been analyzed in detail and briefly, and the author outlined his views on this matter. Then, based on concrete examples, it was shown how to use modeling on different topics. Different modeling images are shown for each theme. As a result, the experiment was carried out in X grades. The same topic was taught in both classes. The results of the experiment showed that the hypothesis put forward by the author justified itself. In the control class, students' grades in mathematics increased by 3.84%, and in chemistry - by 3.41%. At the end, a conclusion was made, which spoke about the theoretical and practical significance of the application of modeling. It, like any other method, also has an educational value. Proceeding from this, the educational value of the method has been brought to mind.

Folk pedagogy is the centuries-old experience of the people in the field of education, training, adaptation and upbringing. In our opinion, public education is a historically developed system of educational influence of a particular nation on a person, including a child. In this system, the life and essence of people are in integrity. The desire to preserve and develop the foundations of ethnic and cultural identity, such as language, customs, religious beliefs, history, is an essential manifestation of the globalization process. After all, the basis of education is noble spiritual values that have been formed over the centuries of traditions. And the unshakable rules and principles that are passed down from generation to generation from the point of view of high dignity and spirituality strengthen and educate human morality. Ethno-cultural heritage is the golden pillar of human life. The basis of the ethno-cultural heritage does not exclude universal spiritual values, but harmonizes with them. They enrich and enrich each other. Therefore, a person deeply rooted in ethnoculture is a person spiritually rich. Such a person is more inclined to assimilate cultural and spiritual values from a universal point of view and is characterized by the status of a full-fledged and perfect person.

Toleransi; Keharusan Sosial Ataukah Kewajiban Agama (Sudut Pandang Islam Dalam Konteks Keindonesiaan)
Authors: Amrullah Amrullah , Jailani Mulyadi Bin
Published: September 2022

Every religion teaches the values of tolerance and longing for peace. Islam as a concept of tolerance for differences is called social necessity in the reality of religious diversity, because in the concept of social necessity, there are values of love, wisdom (wisdom), universal benefit, and justice. The question is, is tolerance a religious obligation or a social imperative? This study uses a qualitative methodology with a normative approach. The findings in this study indicate that tolerance in this context is viewed from several aspects, namely theological, sociological and cultural. With tolerance, it is hoped that humans will be able to recognize diversity, including religious diversity, which is called pluralism. In addition to tolerance and pluralism, the concept of religious dialogue is also present to create such harmony, as Islam exemplifies with the example of Muhammad SAW as a prophet while in Medina who protected every citizen, both Muslim and non-Muslim from his enemies, so that the Medina charter was created.

The use of e-assessment has increased in higher education over the last two decades, which means that medical teachers are required to work by adapting to the increasing usage of technology. Because of the automated marking and feedback, online tests are viewed as highly efficient, fast, and reliable. The online assessment was not used for formative/summative assessment except in fewer renowned institutions in our country. But it had increased recently in all educational setups because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to know the perception of preclinical faculty on the advantages and disadvantages of using online internal assessment when compared to the traditional method. A cross-sectional survey was done using Google form with standard and validated questionnaires with Likert scale scoring (1- strongly disagree, 2- disagree, 3- neutral, 4- agree, and 5- strongly agree) for preclinical medical faculty to assess their perception of online vs traditional assessment method. The result was analyzed by descriptive statistics. Out of 45 responses, only 50% were competent to handle the online assessment, but the other 50% were confident though not competent due to lack of training. 96% of faculty agreed that paper correction load is reduced in online aptitude tests. But nearly 40% agreed that aptitude tests can assess only the student’s knowledge in the cognitive domain. In our study, we found that not all the faculty preferred to switch from the conventional method. However, they show their willingness to adopt a blended teaching and assessment method.

The caudate lobe is a vertically elongated central projection from posterior surface of liver. It is bordered on the right by the groove for the inferior vena cava (IVC), on the left by the fissure for the ligamentum venosum, and on the bottom by the porta hepatis. It is continuous on the superior aspect with the upper part of the right limb of the fissure for the ligamentum venosum. The morphology of the caudate lobe was studied in 100 cadaveric human livers (15-70 years old) stored in 10% formaldehyde, regardless of gender, obtained from the department of anatomy at Santosh Medical College in Ghaziabad. The caudate lobe was observed in a variety of shapes. Vertical fissures extending upward from the lower border of the caudate lobe were seen in 52% of the liver specimens, while accessory caudate fissures extending downward from the upper border were seen in 9% and accessory transverse fissures were seen in 3% cases. Caudate notch was horizontal in 11% of liver specimens. The papillary process was visible in 27% of the liver specimens; a hook shape of the papillary process was seen in one liver specimen. Caudate process was present in 18% of the cases. Linguiform process was observed in 46% of cadaveric liver specimens. As observed, the incidences of morphological variations of the caudate lobe are very high, so it is critical for both radiologists and surgeons to keep these variations in mind when making diagnoses and planning surgeries for a favourable clinical outcome.
