Authors: Quintero-Vélez Juan C. , Rodas Juan D. , Rojas Carlos A. , Ko Albert I. , Wunder Elsio A.
Published: November 2022

The objective of this study was to analyze the eco-epidemiological aspects of Leptospira seroprevalence and seroincidence and its associated factors in two municipalities of northwest Colombia. A prospective study was performed in rural areas of Urabá, Antioquia, Colombia. The study enrolled 597 people between November 2015 and January 2016, of which 274 were followed up 1 year later. Serologic testing was performed by a microscopic agglutination. The outcomes were seroprevalent and seroincident cases, and the primary exposure was an outdoor occupation. A binary and mixed-effect multinomial logistic regression model was used to estimate factors associated with seroprevalent or seroincident cases of Leptospira infection. The overall Leptospira seroprevalence was 27.81% (95% confidence interval: 23.62–32.49), and the overall cumulative seroincidence for Leptospira was 14.60% (95% confidence interval: 10.33–20.23). Multivariable analysis showed that factors associated with L. interrogans serogroups seropositivity were outdoor occupation, male gender, older age, the presence of dirt floor in the household, and the presence of piglets and opossums. It also showed that factors associated with other Leptospira species serogroups were the presence of pit latrines and of turkeys. In addition, the multivariable model of seroincident cases of L. interrogans serogroups evidenced outdoor occupations, the presence of rats, and corn cultivation as risk factors. Likewise, the multivariable model for seroincident cases of other Leptospira species showed that the presence of hunting canines and cassava cultivation were risk factors. We found specific factors associated with the transmission of Leptospira serogroups contribute to the understanding of the epidemiology of Leptospira infection in rural areas of Urabá, Colombia.

Authors: Besteiro Agustin
Published: November 2022

We consider Complex Ginzburg-Landau equations with a polynomial nonlinearity
in the real line. We use splitting-methods to prove well-posedness for a subset
of almost periodic spaces. Specifically, we prove that if the initial condition
has multiples of an irrational phase, then the solution of the equation
maintains those same phases.

Authors: Strikha Maksym , Cheberkus Dmytro
Published: November 2022

In this article, the authors are analyzing the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) operations. STCU is an intergovernmental institution that has to respond to the priorities of its parties and adapt to the geopolitical movements in the region. Over the past twenty-four years, the STCU has proven to be an efficient tool in promoting international scientific and technological cooperation with a non-proliferation component, as well as cooperative CBRN risk mitigation. The STCU has been an important support mechanism for the integration of scientists, who previously worked with weapons of mass destruction (WMD), into the global scientific and business community through national, regional, and international research collaboration. During its quarter century of existence in Ukraine, the STCU has been a stalwart and valuable tool as part of Ukraine’s non-proliferation activities and its support of international scientific cooperation. The global changes in the area of international security continue to evolve. The STCU is meeting this challenge and working to transform itself to remain a relevant implementation tool for the Founding Parties (EU, US) and the Recipient Countries (Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova). The STCU continues to expand its synergistic cooperation with the EU’s CBRN Centers of Excellence (COEs) and other governmental initiatives to support regional and local priorities. Facing new challenges, such as the corona threat, the STCU can continue as an effective mechanism of biosafety in an EU Eastern Partnership Country.

Authors: Werang Basilius Redan , Wea Donatus , Wolomasi Agustinus Kia
Published: November 2022

The quality of the teaching-learning process is determined not only by the qualifications and competence of teachers, but also by the school conditions in which they work. Teachers are clear about the working conditions that they need for them to be successful with students. A better working condition improves mood and concentration and provides an excellent working approach for teachers. This case study was intended to learn what working conditions teachers note as challenging while teaching in the remote elementary schools of Southern Papua. Seventeen teachers were willing to be interviewed to assist in answering the main inquiry question: “What are the most concerning aspects of working conditions that the remote elementary school teachers in Southern Papua have to deal with?” The study found four aspects of working conditions facing the remote elementary school teachers of Southern Papua, Indonesia, as the following: (a) school physical facilities and resources, (b) school principal, (c) salary and allowance, and (d) parents’ support and involvement. From the results, we recommend the need for the regional government of Southern Papua, Indonesia, to create and maintain good conditions for teachers to remain teaching the youth of nations in a quality manner.

Behavioural responses of Irrawaddy dolphins (Orcaella brevirostris) to a dead conspecific
Authors: Jones Amy L , Tubbs Sarah E , Croxford Eve M
Published: November 2022

Cetacean behaviour has long attracted scientific attention as humans endeavour to discover what makes these mammals so emotive and engaging. To date, much of this research has focussed on abundant and widely distributed cetacean species such as bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). As an endangered and often evasive species, research regarding Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris) behaviour is limited. This study uses data collected by The Cambodian Marine Mammal Conservation Project, to investigate the behavioural responses of Irrawaddy dolphins towards a dead conspecific. During a routine boat survey of Cambodia’s Kep Archipelago, the carcass of an adult female Irrawaddy dolphin was recovered and attached to the stern of the research vessel and promptly towed to the research island for further examination. During this survey, there was a four-fold increase in the number of Irrawaddy dolphin groups observed compared to the seasonal average (post-monsoon), in addition to an atypically positive response towards the research vessel and an atypical increase in the number of behavioural events observed. These behavioural variations were believed to be in response to the towed dead conspecific. The authors propose future dedicated research to assess the complexity of wild Irrawaddy dolphin behaviour, cognition, and awareness, to robustly exemplify the species’ apparent sentience and intelligence.

Published: November 2022

Decreasing water availability for cotton production has compelled researchers to engage in studies about rising water use efficiency by improving water management. The impacts of different irrigation levels on the fibre qualities of drip-irrigated cotton were evaluated in Diyarbakir, Southeast Anatolia Region of Turkiye. Three cotton varieties, ‘Stoneville 468’ (ST 468), ‘FiberMax 832’ (FM 832), and ‘Kartanesi’, and three levels of irrigation were tested in 2017 and 2018. Treatments were I 50 (50% water stress), I 75 (25% water stress), and the fully irrigated treatment I 100, which was obtained from Class-A pan evaporation. According to the two-year results of the study, water stress caused a decline in fineness, length, strength, elongation, uniformity ratio, and spinning consistency index (SCI) values of fibre, while fibre yellowness and short fibre ratio values increased. Fibre brightness was not affected by water stress. There were significant differences among varieties concerning quality parameters. FM 832 has come to the fore with regard to fibre fineness, length, strength, uniformity, yellowness, reflectance, and spinning consistency index.

The prospects of interleukin-6 inhibition in rheumatoid arthritis: Olokizumab (novel monoclonal antibodies to IL-6)
Authors: Nasonov E. L. , Feist Eugen
Published: November 2022

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic immune-mediated rheumatic diseases (IMRDs) manifested with progressive destruction of joints, systemic inflammation of visceral organs and a wide range of co-morbidities associated with chronic inflammation. Among the cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of RA and certain other IMRDs, the role of interleukin (IL) 6 is of special interest. The introduction of mAbs tocilizumab (TCZ) and later sarilumab (SAR), both blocking the receptor of this cytokine, into clinical practice was an important achievement in the treatment of IIRDs at the beginning of the 21st century. As a novel approach in the treatment of RA, the humanized mAb against IL-6 olokizumab (OKZ) is in development by the Russian company R-PHARM under the license agreement with UCB Pharma. The review examines new data on efficacy and safety of OKZ in RA and the prospects of its use in rheumatology

Aim – to determine the frequency of myocardial dysfunction using echocardiography with speckle tracking (STE) method, the relationship between a low global longitudinal strain (GLS) with the level of NT-proBNP, clinical and laboratory manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis. Material and methods. The study included 43 patients with RA (ACR/EULAR criteria, 2010): 79% women, age – 53.0 [38.0; 63.0] years, disease duration – 60.0 [36; 180] months; DAS28 – 5.9 [5.2; 6.4], positive for ACCP (74%), RF IgM (81%), without prior biological therapy and CVD. Methotrexate was received by 44%, leflunomide – 35%, sulfasalazine – 9.3%, hydroxychloroquine – 7%, glucocorticoids – 67.4%, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs – 74% of patients with RA. All RA patients underwent echocardiography – tissue Doppler and STE. The level of NT-proBNP was determined in the blood serum The normal range for NT-proBNP was less than 125 pg/ml.

Results. Low GLS was observed in 26 (61%) patients with RA. RA patients had a decrease GLS, E LV, E’ LV, E/A LV compared with the control group. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) was higher in RA patients (13 (31%) vs 0%). Patients with RA had significantly higher levels of NT-proBNP (114.8 [45.1; 277.5] and 52 [40.5; 69.1] pg/ml) compared with the control group. There were correlations between a low GLS and DAS28 (r=0.9), the number of painful joints (r=0.6), radiological stage (r=0.6) and the presence of systemic manifestations (r=0.5), age (r=–0.9), E LV velocity (r=–0.5) (p<0.05 in all cases). There were correlations between the level of NT-proBNP and the E/A LV ratio (r=–0.4), A LV velocity (r=0.5) (p><0.05 in all cases).>< 0.05 in all cases). There were correlations between the level of NT-proBNP and the E/A LV ratio (r=–0.4), A LV velocity (r=0.5) (p< 0.05 in all cases).

Conclusions. In RA patients with a high frequency the low GLS LV was detected, which is associated with a high activity of the inflammatory process. STE helps to detect myocardial dysfunction in patients with RA at earlier stages than tissue Doppler. The use of STE, the determination of the level of NT-proBNP make it possible to diagnosing preclinical disorders of systolic and diastolic functions of the LV, which can contribute to the early initiation of therapy and improve the prognosis in this category of patients.

Children less than 5 years old are at high risk for foreign body ingestion or aspiration. Therefore, identifying workup and management principles of foreign body ingestion, in the pediatric population, is necessary for pediatric practitioners. Differentiation of caustic ingestion versus benign ingestion is necessary to determine urgency of management. Plain film X ray imaging can be used to differentiate a button battery versus a coin ingestion, based on the halo sign. The urgency of battery ingestion requires immediate medical attention and endoscopic removal, however treatment with honey during transport may improve outcomes. Perforation can occur via caustic ingestion, sometimes with a delayed presentation. However, the most common cause of esophageal perforation is iatrogenic. In many cases perforation can be managed non operatively if contained and adequately drained.
PUBLIC EXPENDITURE FOR AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT & THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF BIHAR (1981- 2019)
Authors: Sinha Jitendra Kumar
Published: November 2022

This study explores the relationship between public expenditure on the agricultural sector and economic growth in the agriculturally underdeveloped states of Bihar over the period 1981-2019. In estimating the longrun model, first, the time series characteristic of the data is tested using ADF and the PhillipsPerron tests. Then, the Johansen cointegration test was conducted. Both The longrun and shortrun estimate result shows that public spending on the agricultural sector has a significant effect on the per capita real GDP. This study revealed that government spending on the agricultural sector has an insignificant effect both in the longrun and shortrun periods. While agriculture is the dominant sector and the majority of rural society is engaged in this sector, hence it needs to reduce unproductive government consumption expenditure and give attention to redirecting to productive activities. This will stimulate activities in the economic sectors and, perhaps, converse the insignificant effect on economic growth. The gross fixed capital formation has a positive and significant impact on per capita real GDP in Bihar during the period under review. This result seems to imply that the government should have to build up capital stock by the accumulation of capital formation regularly to improve the per capita real GDP. The labor force has an insignificant effect on the growth of per capita real GDP. Hence, improving the productivity of the labor force through technical and vocational training should have to be a prominent task.

The security of the transmitted data is one of the important issues that led to improve cryptosystems. Block ciphers as symmetric key cryptosystems are widely implemented in different applications and devices. Many algorithms had been presented that proposed new designs and enhancements for the block ciphers. Most of these papers based on the differential characteristics that provided by the Differential Distribution table DDT. The implementation of DDT had several points of advantages in design, modify and attack block cipher. Even with larger block size of some cipher families, the Partial Differential Distribution Table (PDDT) is implemented to override the big block size. The comparison results showed that both of DDT and PDDT are efficient tools that provide important differential characteristics that may implemented with accompanied of different function and deep learning models.
Computing steel frame analysis of behavior semi-rigid connection
Authors: Efendi Aco Wahyudi
Published: November 2022

Semi-rigid connections are very economical compared to other connections because they can prevent the frame from breaking immediately due to brittleness without endangering the entire structure. Steel frame construction is one of the types of construction described in the building codes for simple seismic buildings. The research on the use of this semi-rigid connection uses one of the computer software that uses the finite element method, namely ANSYS ED.9, by taking validation models from experimental and manual calculation analysis and using 35 research models with different loads, positions and number of bolts and types of portal bracing. The ability to survive on the gantry due to side loads is dominated by the number and position of the bolts and the type of gantry stiffener used, this is evident from the different models, with the rise ratio in each model ranging from 0.7852 to 2.5900 and in ranges of softening compared to clamped stiffeners, which experience a decrease in stress, with the same ratio.

Jordan is part of the structuring of the international Qualification Framework. The Jordan qualification framework, JNQF, is a national strategy for managing and regulating all national qualifications in the education and training sectors in a single comprehensive qualification framework. The JNQF consists of 10 levels for both academic and vocational pathways. The descriptors of JNQF which are designed in terms of learning outcomes, help to map the vertical level of complexity of a particular qualification and help to clarify its horizontal orientation, be this knowledge, skills, or competences. The main advantages of JNQF are: enhancing the image of vocational education and training (VET), bridging the academic and vocational pathways, facilitating lifelong learning, shifting the paradigm from input-oriented learning/training into leaning outcomes-based, recognizing individual learning pathways and opening up the possibilities to bring closer education/training providers in the labor market.
