Playing hide-and-seek: Duration, detectability and transmissibility of asymptomatic malaria infections in Ethiopia
Authors: Tebeje Surafel Kefyalew
Published: September 2024

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites that are transmitted through infectious mosquito bites. There are over 200 species of Plasmodium of which four species commonly infect humans: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale (P. ovale curtisi and P. ovale wallikeri) and Plasmodium malariae. P. falciparum and P. vivax are the most prevalent human-infecting species and account for the majority of all malaria illness globally. The clinical and biological features of malaria infections have long been defined based on symptomatic malaria cases. However, a large proportion of malaria infections remain asymptomatic without eliciting treatment seeking behavior. These are less well studied. Although ‘asymptomatic’ and not associated with acute symptoms suggestive of febrile disease, these infections may nevertheless have considerable health consequences that have been neglected by the malaria research community. These health consequences include low-grade inflammation and mild anaemia. Currently, there is also increasing scientific evidence that indicates that asymptomatic malaria infections are more prevalent than previously thought in any transmission settings and can be important drivers of malaria transmission. However, whether these asymptomatic malaria infections need to be targeted for intervention to achieve malaria elimination is still debatable due to lack of conclusive data. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to provide insights in the biology, epidemiology and field characteristics of asymptomatic malaria infections with a focus on Ethiopia.
Pilot implementation of USI FORTIMAS Methodology for Assessment and Tracking Effective Coverage of the National Salt lodization Program and iodine status of pregnant women in the Republic of Armenia
Authors: Aslanyan Hrayr , Gerasimov Gregory , Parvanta Ibrahim
Published: September 2024

To enable public and private sector stakeholders of the national salt iodization program in Armenia to be able to confirm high population coverage of well iodized salt and the associated adequate iodine status of the population systematically and at a substantially lower cost than typical population-based representative surveys, the IGN supported the “pilot” implementation of the FORTIMAS (Fortification Monitoring and Surveillance) methodology, adapted to tracking “effective coverage” of iodized salt, in Armenia. Primary analysis of non-probabilistic data showed high (92%) household coverage of adequately iodized salt and optimum (175.3 µg/L) median urinary iodine concentration among 1st trimester pregnant women, across purposively selected sentinel sites. Secondary analysis of data on production, imports and distribution of iodized salt indicated consistently high expected and assessed population coverage of iodized salt during the past decade. The prevalence of neonatal TSH levels above 5 mUI/L (an indicator of iodine status among pregnant women) over past 12 years was less than 3% with a general trend of decreasing from 2.35% in 2017 to 1.39% in 2023. The cost of implementation of the FORTIMAS approach as an initial round of “annual” iodized salt program monitoring and surveillance in Armenia, was only a fraction of that of a typical nationally representative salt iodization/population iodine status survey. Furthermore, because the overall framework of a potential “Armenia FORTIMAS System” has been developed under this project, it may be estimated that about 10 annual rounds of salt iodization program monitoring and surveillance may be carried out in Armenia int the future, at about the same cost as one nationally representative salt iodization program survey.

ACT, which is not affiliated with any mass organization, has more free space. ACT makes optimal use of all its resources so that it can get maximum results later. ACT makes humanitarian issues such as disasters a main brand in its marketing practices, while LAZISMU focuses more on routine humanitarian programs. The marketing method applied is to reduce the costs required for promotion. These two LAZs state that the marketing practices carried out so far have had quite a positive impact on the sustainability of LAZIS activities.

Published: September 2024

Professional competence is a dynamic process that improves working quality resulting in a teacher's professional development and self-improvement. Teachers' beliefs, best practices, and a supportive work environment are all essential factors in the development of professional competence during the span of a teacher's profession. Likely, teachers' notions of what teaching is and how it should be successfully done have an impact on the way they teach and learn. To be competent in their field, instructors must appreciate the value of reliable and well-maintained facilities, continuous training, workshops, appropriate learning environments, independent use of learning materials, and successful teaching methods. This entails mastering teaching and learning processes, resources, and educational technologies. Professional competence in education also involves the ability to motivate students, as well as high levels of talent and knowledge of the educational environment. This study based on a review of the literature aims to examine the professional competence of instructors and to improve teaching and learning methods in the classroom. The findings paint the picture of teacher professional development in the education environment for effective teaching and learning.

Published: September 2024

The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-Sodium score (MELDNa) has been developed that has a better prognostic value to predict early mortality but has not been frequently used in cirrhotic and refractory ascites patients with recurrent incidences of severe hyponatremia. Objective: To compare the prognostic value of severe hyponatremia, Child-Pugh score, and the model for end-stage liver disease-sodium score in cirrhotic and refractory ascitic patients. Methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted at the Hepatology Department, Bakhtawar Amin Trust Hospital, Multan from March 2023 to March 2024. A total of 200 patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites undergoing albumin paracentesis twice a month were selected for the study. The 135 patients (after exclusion of preexisting ascites patients) were administered diuretics symmetrically; 50 mg spironolactone and 40 mg furosemide in patients who did not have renal failure and severe hyponatremia. Prognostic scores were recorded and patients were followed up for minimum 3 months. Results: The area under the curve of the Child-Pugh score (0.90, 95% CI: 0.87-0.96) was significantly higher than the MELD score (0.60, 95 CI: 0.51-0.70) and MELDNa (0.75, 95% CI: 0.65-0.79) as a predictor of mortality (p<0.0001). With respect to the etiology of refractory ascites being an independent risk factor of mortality, the cumulative incidence function was highest in patients with hyponatremia (79%; 95% CI: 79-80%) followed by renal failure patients (55%; 95 CI: 54-56%) and patients receiving maximum dose of treatment (28%; 95% CI: 27-29%) (p<0.001). Conclusions: Severe hyponatremia, ineffective diuretic treatment, and Child-Pugh score were risk factors of death in cirrhotic and refractory ascitic patients.
Characteristics and Prevalence of Fake Social Media Profiles with AI-generated Faces
Authors: Yang Kaicheng , Singh Danishjeet , Menczer Filippo
Published: September 2024

Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have raised concerns about its potential to create convincing fake social media accounts, but empirical evidence is lacking. In this paper, we present a systematic analysis of Twitter (X) accounts using human faces generated by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for their profile pictures. We present a dataset of 1,420 such accounts and show that they are used to spread scams, disseminate spam, and amplify coordinated messages, among other inauthentic activities. Leveraging a feature of GAN-generated faces—consistent eye placement—and supplementing it with human annotation, we devise an effective method for identifying GAN-generated profiles in the wild. Applying this method to a random sample of active Twitter users, we estimate a lower bound for the prevalence of profiles using GAN-generated faces between 0.021% and 0.044%—around 10,000 daily active accounts. These findings underscore the emerging threats posed by multimodal generative AI. We release the source code of our detection method and the data we collect to facilitate further investigation. Additionally, we provide practical heuristics to assist social media users in recognizing such accounts.
Exploring Diversity of Hispanic Health Outcomes Through Prism of Environmental Justice

Published: September 2024

In environmental economics studies US Hispanics are frequently depicted as one large homogeneous group, despite diversity in their countries’ cultural traditions, genetic background and socioeconomic status (SES). This study aimed to compare Florida’s very diverse Hispanic population of Caribbean, Mexican, Central, and South American ancestry.Twelve independent variables were selected from environmental pollution, geospatial challenges, and SES categories. Dependent variables included the relative prevalence of three major chronic diseases: asthma, diabetes, and heart disease. Analysis of pairs correlations was supplemented by multi-variable linear regression. Majority-Hispanic areas have higher than average pollution, diabetes, proximity to disadvantaged neighborhoods, and lower SES. Despite lower pollution than in urban areas, Florida’s inland rural areas had higher rates of all major diseases and lower life expectancies. Cuban and Puerto Rican populations of Miami and Orlando metro areas, respectively, have less favorable SES outcomes and higher diabetes. Columbian and Venezuelan communities have significantly higher education levels than other Hispanic cohorts, and they have the best relative outcome among US Hispanics in SES and health, although still lagging US averages. African-American community in Miami-Dade County was by far the most disadvantaged, with significantly lower SES and health outcomes than any other group in the study, including the nearby Cuban-majority community. Our results confirmed the view that Hispanics are environmentally disadvantaged in Florida, with worse outcomes than the US and Florida average in health and economic factors. Furthermore, the study highlighted significant differentiation of SES and health outcomes among various regional Hispanic cohorts.
Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Syrup for Asthma and Allergies: A Two-Decade Clinical Study
Authors: Shamsi Muhammad
Published: September 2024

Asthma and allergies are prevalent respiratory conditions affecting millions worldwide, often necessitating long-term management and treatment. Synthetic medications, while effective, may pose risks and adverse effects, prompting exploration into natural alternatives. This study investigates the efficacy and safety of a botanical syrup supplement derived from Cymbopogon Schoenanthus subsp. proximus, known as “Binj” or “Abba” in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), for the management of asthma and allergies. Through collaborative efforts with reputable laboratories and universities, the botanical syrup’s therapeutic potential was rigorously evaluated, encompassing phytochemical analysis, biological testing, and extensive clinical trials spanning two decades. Results demonstrate notable improvements in lung function and skin health among patients with asthma and allergies, evidenced by enhanced vital capacity, forced vital capacity, and visible reduction in skin allergy symptoms. Furthermore, safety assessments indicate a favorable profile, with minimal adverse events reported. The recognition of the botanical syrup by the UAE Ministry of Health and international pharmaceutical companies underscores its significance and potential for widespread application. This discovery represents a promising advancement in natural medicine, offering a safe and effective alternative for individuals seeking holistic respiratory wellness. Future research should focus on large-scale clinical trials and long-term safety studies to further elucidate its therapeutic benefits and optimize clinical outcomes.
Market Segmentation and Customer Satisfaction: A Study of the Sudanese Banking Industry
Authors: Musa Aisha Badawi Abdelrhman
Published: September 2024

The aim of this study is to examine four influential dimensions on which customer satisfaction in Sudanese banks is built; those are the market segmentation criteria, consumer behavior, the banking products offered, and the customers’ perception of those products. This study employed a quantitative approach. Regression analysis alongside the correlation technique has been used to collect the data from a sample of 420 bank customers to establish the relationships between these factors and customer satisfaction. The findings demonstrate positive significant links between segmentation criteria, consumer behaviour, banking offerings, customer perception, preferences and customer satisfaction. In turn, positive perception is created, which leads to acceptance of the services and increases overall satisfaction. These findings highlight the significance of identifying and managing these factors to increase the level of customer satisfaction in the case of Sudanese banks.
Implementering av återvätningsprojekt – delrapport från Interreg-projektet Land4Climate : återvätning, klimatnytta, implementering, hinder, möjligheter
Authors: Bäckman Amanda , Larsson Anders
Published: September 2024

I både Sverige och Danmark finns det ett växande fokus på återvätning av s.k. organogena jordar, det vill säga torv- och gyttjejordar. Anläggning av våtmarker för näringsretention, biologisk mångfald och rekreation är något som länderna arbetat med i många år, medan återvätning av organogena jordar i syfte att minska utsläpp av koldioxid är ett relativt nytt och växande politik- och insatsområde såväl internationellt som nationellt. Utdikningarna som påbörjades i mitten av 1800-talet och som pågick fram till 1990-talet har medvetet orsakat torrläggning av torvmarker i syfte att förbättra produktionen på jordbruks- och skogsbruksmarker. Detta har resulterat i att den stora mängden organiskt material som lagrats sedan istiden exponerats för syre. Den nedbrytningsprocess som exponeringen medför har lett till stora utsläpp av växthusgaser i atmosfären. Genom att återställa den ursprungliga vattennivån i dessa områden kan en fortsatt nedbrytning av kol och därmed utsläpp av bland annat koldioxid förhindras. Åtgärder för att återställa naturliga vattenförhållanden i landskapet kallas återvätning.

Arbitration has become by far the preferred route for dispute resolution in sport for good reason, but the unique structure and role of organised professional sport strains conventional approaches in international commercial arbitration. Disputes in sport have been at the forefront of some of the more difficult and interesting challenges to arbitral law, and have begun to shape a hybrid form of arbitration sui generis to sport.
In the name of analogy: Judicial copy-pasting and competence creep in the connection data case law
Authors: Millet F.X.
Published: September 2024

At the European Court of Justice, analogy reasoning often takes a specific form with the copy-pasting of numerous citations taken from the Court’s earlier case law. This article analyses the practice of copy-pasting in the contested case law on connection data. After offering a fresh look at the judgment in Digital Rights Ireland, it examines how the successive copy-pasting of that former case into Tele2 Sverige and its progeny has changed the parameters of the legal analysis of connection data legislation together with the competences of the Union, and in the Union for that matter. It is argued that, despite its advantages, judicial copy-pasting carried out in the name of analogy should be handled with utmost care in view of its potential consequences at constitutional level.
EU National Systems of Child-Related Leave: A Maternalist Approach, Despite the Work-Life Balance Directive
Authors: Corte-Rodríguez Miguel De la
Published: September 2024

The Work-Life Balance (WLB) Directive has created for the first time at European Union (EU) level a right to paternity leave and effective incentives for fathers to make use of the right to parental leave. The goal of this Directive is to correct the imbalance of the previous EU model on child-related leave, with the ultimate aim of achieving a more equal sharing of leave between men and women, improving the situation of women in the labour market, and eventually achieving more equality both at home and at work.This article examines twenty-seven EU national systems of child-related leave to ascertain to what extent they fit in the new EU model and are gender-balanced. National data shows that, despite the new rights and incentives created for fathers, there is a widespread maternalist approach, with lengths of maternity leave far longer than those of paternity leave and few well-paid daddy months of parental leave. Finally, it suggests some ideas on how the EU can bring closer national rights of mothers and fathers, both in terms of entitlements and actual use, and advocates an egalitarian approach under which both parents have equal real chances to spend time with their children.
The Administrative Tribunal of the European Stability Mechanism: ESMAT at Ten
Authors: Butler Graham
Published: September 2024

The Administrative Tribunal of the European Stability Mechanism (ESMAT) is an international administrative tribunal hearing appeals brought by current and former staff of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), which is an international organization. Sitting in Luxembourg, though separate to the European Union (EU) and outside the EU legal order, the Tribunal has its own Statute and Rules of Procedure to supplement the ESM Treaty. As ESMAT reaches the age of ten, and having delivered its first judgments, this articles probes ESMAT’s legal design and rulings to-date to determine the credibility of the international administrative tribunal in providing redress, as an internal justice regime in a standalone international organization. It finds that despite the preadolescent age of ESMAT, it is a well-designed international tribunal, established by law, and can provide the necessary judicial remedies to parties where necessary, given its applicable law.
It’s Strategic! Riders, Unions, and Litigation in Italy
Authors: Protopapa Venera
Published: September 2024

Recent developments in the gig or platform economy have generated unprecedented interest in strategic litigation, raising important theoretical questions about what qualifies litigation as strategic and what strategic litigation means for collective action. This article draws on the existing debate on strategic litigation and mobilization for riders’ rights to highlight an important dimension of the practice: namely, the intermediary role played by lawyers between what happens in and outside the courts, as they translate social claims into legal ones. It maps litigation efforts, situating them in a wider context of collective action, and takes advantage of the privileged viewpoint that lawyers provide on litigation to address two crucial questions: the ‘why’ question, which concerns the objectives underlying strategic litigation, at least as perceived by lawyers, and the ‘how’ question, which aims to explore the way the strategy is designed and implemented, as well as the relations between lawyers and trade unions in terms of decision-making.
Conceptualizing Worker-to-Worker Relations: A Comparative Perspective
Authors: Kramer Sima
Published: September 2024

Contemporary labour law scholarship places the relationship between employers and employees at the heart of its analysis, mostly disregarding relations between workers, especially if they belong to different organizations. This article argues that such an approach is one-dimensional and misses a central aspect of the experience of being a worker. It argues that the increasing complexity of the modern workplace requires a coherent scholarly account of this additional dimension of workplace dynamics.Attempting to address this blind spot, the article suggests conceptualizing worker-to-worker relations as a type of community: the ‘Worker-Community’. This new paradigm advances our understanding of the special characteristics, including duties and obligations, of relations between workers. The article further examines the range of potential legal implications of this model, from bullying and sexual harassment to the unregulated practice of underbidding in the gig or platform economy.
A evolução da arbitragem de construção no Brasil
Authors: Marcondes Fernando
Published: September 2024

Resumo: O setor de construção possui particularidades devido ao dinamismo inerente à atividade. Quando uma obra é paralisada, as consequências para a construtora, para a rede de fornecedores, para os trabalhadores e para a própria sociedade, nos casos de grandes obras de infraestrutura urbana, são deveras danosas. Por conta desses fatores, a arbitragem surge, no setor de construção, como uma alternative ao sistema judiciário, por sua notória celeridade comparada ao juízo estatal e flexibilidade na indicação de peritos, entre outras vantagens. Os objetivos do artigo, portanto, são analisar o desenvolvimento da arbitragem no setor de infraestrutura, a relação da arbitragem com a Administração Pública em obras públicas e o desenvolvimento dos Dispute Boards como parte do sistema de resolução de disputas.Abstract: The construction industry has particularities due to the inherent dynamism of the activity. When a construction site is halted, the consequences to the company, to the chain of suppliers, to the workers and to the society, in the case of large urban infrastructure projects, are deeply harming. Due to those factors, arbitration is, in the construction sector, an alternative to the judiciary, given its notable speed compared to state courts and flexibility in appointing experts, among other advantages. The objectives of the paper, therefore, are to analyze the development of the arbitration on the infrastructure sector, the relationship between arbitration and the Public Administration on public infrastructure projects and the development of the Dispute Boards as part of the dispute resolution system.SUMÁRIO: Introdução; 1 A introdução da arbitragem nos contratos de construção; 2 A adoção, e o posterior abandono, de práticas da arbitragem internacional; 3 A hesitação da administração pública; 4 Um avanço conquistado em uma arbitragem de contrução envolvendo empresa em recuperação judicial; 5 Expectativa versus realidade; 6 Conceituação e breve histórico dos Dispute Boards; 7 A experiência brasileira com DBS e o seu atual estágio de evolução; 8 O Dispute Board como parte integrante do Sistema de solução de disputas; Conclusão.

[Purpose]This study aims to evaluate the role of the brand strategy for geographical indication(GI) agricultural products in rural revitalization, particularly through an empirical analysis of the brand spillover effects of GI agricultural products in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan provinces, thereby providing a scientific basis for agricultural high-quality development and rural revitalization strategy formulation. [Methodology]A quantitative analysis approach was employed, involving the collection and analysis of market data on GI agricultural products from the three provinces. This analysis assessed their market performance, brand effects, and their impact on agricultural economics and farmers' incomes. Furthermore, the specific role of regional disparities in shaping the brand spillover effects was explored. [Results]The study found that the overall performance of the GI agricultural product markets in the three provinces was positive, with notable brand spillover effects that significantly contributed to the promotion of agricultural economics. However, regional variations in brand development emerged, with cities like Xi'an, Datong, and Zhengzhou exhibiting particularly prominent brand effects, whereas other cities demonstrated less evident brand impacts, indicating a regionalized trend. [Conclusion] The study concludes that the brand spillover effects of GI agricultural products are positively correlated with rural revitalization development, serving as a crucial factor in enhancing agricultural competitiveness and promoting farmers' income. It is recommended that, in light of regional disparities, differentiated brand development strategies be adopted, accompanied by strengthened regional cooperation, to fully leverage the brand advantages of GI agricultural products and facilitate the in-depth implementation of rural revitalization strategies.

Optimizing the location of public health facilities is crucial to ensure public accessibility. Palembang City uses public health facilities for COVID-19 vaccine distribution and administration. This study identified the best location for COVID-19 vaccine distribution in Palembang City by implementing the Set Covering Problem (SCP) model and solving it with the Greedy Heuristic Algorithm. The SCP model consists of the Set Covering Location Problem (SCLP) model and the p-Centre Location Problem (p-CLP) and considers the separating distance between vaccine distribution sites located in each sub-district of Palembang City. The p-CLP model was formulated, and the Greedy Heuristic Algorithm was executed to determine the optimal distribution location for COVID-19 vaccines. The SCLP model successfully identified 27 optimal COVID-19 vaccine locations in Palembang City. These locations were subsequently used to formulate the p-CLP model. The p-CLP model's solution and the application of the Greedy Heuristic Algorithm yielded 27 optimal vaccine sites, which include Ariodillah Health Centre, Naga Swidak Health Centre, Sako Health Centre, Bukitsangkal Health Centre, Sei Lincah Health Centre, Kenten Health Centre, Kalidoni Health Centre, Pakjo Health Centre, Sei Baung Health Centre, Merdeka Health Centre, OPI Health Centre, Sosial Health Centre, Talang Betutu Health Centre, Myria Hospital, Sukarami Health Centre, Keramasan Health Centre, Karya Jaya Health Centre, 7 Ulu Health Centre, Sabokingking Health Centre, Charitas Hospital, Dr. Mohammad Hasan Hospital, Siti Khadijah Hospital, Bunda Hospital, Bunda Noni Hospital, Pelabuhan Kelas ll Palembang Health Office, Tiara Fatrin Hospital, and Alang-Alang Lebar Health Centre.

Body Language in Ancient Arabic Poetry: A Cognitive Approach
Authors: Ghenim Amira
Published: September 2024

In the study of ancient Arabic poetry, it is customary to investigate its verbal structures, rhythmic prosody, and both apparent and hidden meanings related to its content and purposes. However, a rich field for scholarly exploration emerges when one delves into the non-verbal expressions found within this poetry, even though it heavily relies on words. By this, we refer to the body language present in poetic texts, which give rise to symbolic connotations generated by the active interaction between the trinity of body, perception, and the world. In this research endeavor, we employ the theoretical framework of embodied cognition, with a particular focus on the concepts of Conceptual Metaphor and Conceptual Blending. Our aim is to explore the cultural, social, and civilizational nuances inherent in the corporeal expressions depicted within ancient Arabic poetry, spanning themes of admiration, satire, pride, love, and elegy. Furthermore, in addition to what the movements of body parts reveal about the various purposes of poetry, conveying encoded cultural messages carried by the body as a means of expression in different symbolic systems, this research leads to an understanding of the interactive semiotic systems in ancient Arabic poetry. Bodies, whether describing or described, interact in two dimensions: the material and the symbolic, distributed across layers of meaning, ranging from the individual (the poet as a self who uses his body as an intermediary between himself and the world) to the collective (family, tribe, nation, human community, etc.). This approach is hoped to reveal the authentic status of ancient Arabic poetry as a universal literature with cosmic elements, making it a mirror for the entire world, not just its Arab environment.
