Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Tract Parasites in Small Ruminants in and around Jaja Town, Melka Belo Woreda Of East Haraghe Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia
Authors: Musa Kedir
Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION: Parasitic diseases are global problem and effects are more pronounced, in Sub-Saharan Africa in general and Ethiopia in particular due to the availability of a wide range of agro-ecological factors suitable for diversified hosts and parasite species. Common abdominal parasites of livestock are coccidia species of phylum protozoa. Trematodes belong to flukes, nematodes commonly called roundworms, cestodes famous on tapeworms.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out from May, 2023 to August, 2023 to determine the prevalence and to identify gastrointestinal tract parasites from fecal samples collected from goats and sheep in and around Jaja town and to identify the parasitic fauna circulating in the study area.
RESULTS: In the present study a total 384 small ruminants (322 goats and 62 sheep) were examined for prevalence of gastrointestinal tract parasites coprological examination there was an overall prevalence of 81.51% (313/384). The gastrointestinal tract parasites infection was more prevailing in female (83.41%) than male (78.71%) in case of sex, in adult (83%) than young (78.83%) in case of age, in sheep (85.5%) than goats (80.75%) in case of species, Statistically significant difference were recorded (OR=1.85231, CI=1.204293-2.849005, P=0.005) between body conditions and the prevalence of gastrointestinal tract parasite infection and Dhagaya Belo (97.5%) followed by Makanisa (88.75%), Jaja Town (79.9), Ifabas (77.5%) and Tokuma Jalala (70%) in case of Address.
CONCLUSIONS: In the study area indicates gastrointestinal tract parasites the most impairments of small ruminants. Statistically there were no significance difference between address, species, sex, age and the prevalence of gastrointestinal tract parasite infection. The majority of small ruminants were infected with one, two or three genera of the same or different gastrointestinal tract parasites.

Published: January 2024

Background:
Canine T-zone lymphoma is recognized as an indolent CD45- T cell lymphoma, with low aggressiveness and high overall survival. The diagnosis is obtained by histopathology and immunohistochemistry, but also by cytological examination of the lymph node associated with immunophenotyping. Lymphocytosis is commonly identified as around 10,000 cells/µL and may reach 30,760 cells/µL.
Case Description:
The present report describes a case of a female Golden Retriever, nine years old, with generalized lymphadenopathy. In the cytological examination of the superficial cervical lymph node a monomorphic population of small, “clear cells” “hand mirror” lymphocyte shape was suggestive of T-zone lymphoma. The leukogram showed intense leukocytosis (160,050 cells/μL) due to small clear cell lymphocytosis (152,048 cells/μL). The myelogram showed a myeloid:erythroid ratio of 2.3; with a pyramidal distribution of cell types and the presence of 22.8% of lymphocytes in the differential count. Bone marrow, peripheral blood and lymph node immunophenotyping resulted in lymphocyte gates with 97.3 to 99.5% CD5+, predominantly CD4-, CD8- and CD45- confirming the diagnosis of T-zone lymphoma with associated leukaemia. Treatment with chlorambucil and prednisolone was started. During the first month, the lymphocytosis remained above 200,000 cells/uL. After four months of treatment, there was a decrease in lymphocytes, which progressively reached a count of 10,800 cells/ul in the eleventh month.
Conclusion:
In the literature, lymphocytosis above 30,760 cells/μL has not been observed in T-zone lymphomas. Thus, it is believed that this is the first report of extreme lymphocytosis with an unusually slow response to treatment in this neoplasm.

Published: January 2024

Background:
Skin cancer is the most frequently diagnosed type of cancer among all malignant neoplasms. The decrease in mitotic activity and the death of intact keratinocytes arise due to the constantly renewing epithelium is highly sensitive to ionising radiation.
Aim:
The aim of the study is immunohistochemical evaluation of the proliferative-apoptotic balance of keratinocytes, the fibrous component of the skin and the expression of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines after single or fractional local electron irradiation.
Methods:
Wistar rats (n=80) were taken from the ITM&B Vivarium (Sechenov University) and divided into groups: I – control, which were injected with saline; and experimental groups, local electron irradiation at doses: II – 8 Gy (single), III – 40 Gy (single), IV – summary dose 78 Gy (fractional; 13 Gy per day for 6 days). We performed histological analysis, histochemical analysis using Masson, safranine and picrosirius red staining, immunohistochemical (Ki-67, caspase-3, p53, types I and III collagens, IL-1, IL-6, IL-4 and IL-10) and morphometric analysis of skin fragments of the outer surface of the thigh, irradiated in accordance with the design of the experiment. The early and delayed effects of local electron irradiation at different doses were studied.
Results:
After local electron irradiation, dose-dependent morphological changes in the skin of the experimental groups were observed: violation of the histoarchitectonics of the skin confirmed by morphological and morphometric analysis, proliferation of connective tissue according to the results of histochemical and immunohistochemical studies with signs of the radiation-induced skin fibrosis development, an increase in the levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. We observed the most pronounced signs of the radiation-induced skin damage in the group of fractional irradiation after three months.
Conclusion:
8 Gy and 40 Gy single local electron irradiation leads to a shift in the proliferative-apoptotic balance of keratinocytes towards their apoptosis, which activity is directly correlate with the dose of ionizing radiation, and 78 Gy in fractions leads to partial desquamation of the epithelium and inflammatory infiltration. In addition, after three months a significant increase in the expression of type I and type III collagen fibers and the development of radiation-induced skin fibrosis takes place against the background of 78 Gy fractional local electron irradiation.

Optimizing the use of dynamic tau PET in Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors:   , Visser Denise
Published: January 2024

The general aim of this thesis was to gain a better understanding of both methodological as well as biological/clinical aspects of dynamic [18F]flortaucipir PET, which yields information about tau pathology as well as rCBF, in the context of AD. By gaining a better understanding of the use of tau PET we can optimize and direct its use in clinical and research settings. In the first part of this thesis we assessed whether methodological optimization of [18F]flortaucipir PET acquisition would be possible, by i) investigating whether we could reduce the dynamic scanning time of [18F]flortaucipir PET scans without compromising on quantitative accuracy, and ii) investigating whether dynamic acquisition is required for obtaining quantitatively reliable measures of tau pathology in a longitudinal setting. We demonstrated that dynamic scanning protocols can be shorted without compromising on quantitative accuracy, and that static imaging protocols are sufficient in settings (including longitudinal follow-up) where changes in flow are expected to be small. In the second part of this thesis we aimed to gain better understanding of the relationship between tau PET with clinical measures, specifically i) (longitudinal) cognition, and ii) neuronal injury (rCBF and atrophy). Furthermore, we investigated the temporal dynamics of biomarker changes in the AT(N) classification system. We demonstrated that tau PET is predictive of both cognitive decline and atrophy, and that there is considerable variability across individuals in the order of ATN biomarkers becoming abnormal.
 
The key findings of this thesis include:

Part 1: Methodological applications
i) Dynamic [18F]flortaucipir PET scans can be shortened from 110 to only 50 minutes without loss of accuracy.
ii) Longitudinal semi-quantitative (SUVr) and quantitative (BPND) parameters are comparable for [18F]flortaucipir.

Part 2a: Clinical applications - cognition
i) Tau pathology and low rCBF are both independently associated with worse cognitive performance (cross-sectionally), indicating that each biomarker independently contributes to cognitive impairment in AD.
ii) Compared to LOAD, the degree of tau pathology and rCBF is more strongly associated with cognitive impairment in EOAD.
iii) Both baseline and change in tau load are predictive for longitudinal cognitive trajectories across domains (when corrected for rCBF), underlining that tau PET is a valuable tool in predicting cognition.

Part 2b: Clinical applications – neuronal injury
i) Higher tau load is related to accelerated cortical thinning, but not to decreases in rCBF, and tau PET load at baseline better predicts cortical thinning than change of tau PET signal.

Part 2c: Clinical applications – AT(N) classification system
i) There is considerable variability across individuals in the order of ATN biomarkers becoming abnormal.

Authors:   Department of Applied Science and Humanities Guru Nanak Institute of Technology, Kolkata, India, Thander Anup Kumar
Published: January 2024

This study introduces an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) framework to address the two-dimensional Poisson’sequation within a rectangular domain. It places a focus on the training process of a neural network with threelayers, incorporating hidden neurons. The feedforward ANN is trained using MATLAB, which calculates weights forall neurons within the network structure. These acquired weights are subsequently applied in the trained networkmodel to make predictions for the desired output of a specific partial differential equation. The architecture of theANN consists of three layers: one input layer, one hidden layer, and one output layer. In this study, we specificallyemploy an ANN configuration with 50 hidden neurons. The training process is executed using MATLAB, utilizing theLevenberg–Marquardt algorithm (LMA) for optimization. Furthermore, the study encompasses the development ofsurface and contour plots that illustrate the computational solution of the partial differential equation. Additionally,error functions are graphed to assess the effectiveness of the ANN model.

Published: January 2024

Background: The alignment of economic cycles is created naturally, by the gradual harmonization of the economic development of economies that are open and cooperating with each other, which gradually over decades has led to their significant economic interconnection, to the creation of the so-called global economy. Aims: The main aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of individual financial crises on economic cycle alignment as well as the naturally increasing correlation between interacting economies themselves. Methods: We have analysed the impact of individual financial crises on economic cycle coherence as well as the naturally increasing correlation between interacting economies. Sample: We examined the historical evolution of the correlation on ten-year periods from 1961 to 2020. Results: The calculated correlations of the percentage GDP growth of the selected 40 countries with the global percentage GDP growth over the last 61 years have shown that the interconnectedness of major economies has reached an advanced level. Conclusions: The higher the correlation of GDP growth of the selected countries with global GDP growth, the higher the effect of economic booms as well as recessions will be multiplied. Implications: This analysis has so far failed to include the impact of the admittedly extremely short but extremely sudden and fully global recession caused by COVID 19.

An important factor supporting the social economy's sustainable growth is the industry's development in renewable energy. India has a sophisticated system that combines finance, resources, technology, and management to grow, expand, and modernize the renewable energy industry. Renewable energy finance is a new area of public policy that will significantly affect international investors and calls for innovation and study. Many academics held the opinion that issues with renewable energy were limited to science and engineering until recently. But rather than relying on science and technology, the future of renewable energy increasingly lies on financial accessibility. The rapidly growing renewable energy business in India presents a great opportunity for financial gain. The current paper's goal is to assess the financial performance of India's renewable energy sector using a variety of financial metrics and various ratios. The different industrial stakeholders are impacted by the financial performance of every industry. Data from the corresponding firms' annual reports was used to analyze the financial performance of renewable energy companies, and the study's findings were determined using a t-test. According to the study's findings, India's renewable energy companies are still in their infancy and are working hard to keep their steady financial positions. Keywords: Financial Performance, Renewable Energy, Financial Ratio, India, Global Environment.

Published: January 2024

The sport education model (SEM) is the most widely researched and implemented pedagogical model in physical education (PE) field. The SEM promotes enthusiastic, competent, and literate people through sports has evolved through non-sports content, practical lessons, and physical conditioning to promote physical activity (PA) and fitness. This study aimed to systematically review the SEM PA and fitness outcomes reported in the PE and related fields and identify new trends for future research directions since Hastie et al.’s (2011) study. The research articles selected were found through six databases: ResearchGate, Web of Science, Scopus, SportDiscuss (EBSCO), ERIC (ProQuest), and Google Scholar. The articles were selected using the following criteria: (a) peer-reviewed studies in indexed international journals, (b) SEM implemented in isolation or compared with others, (c) findings focused on PA or fitness, (d) elementary–college or related setting research, and (e) published in English or Spanish. The associated keywords (sport education, pedagogical models, physical activity, and fitness) were used in different combinations. A total of 21 articles were identified through the search process and analyzed using PRISMA guidelines. Articles were initially categorized according to the following dimensions: country of origin, focus, topics, length of season, participants (grade, gender, age), and results. Since Hastie et al.’s (2011) review, the number of studies related to the SEM and PA as season outcomes, new contexts, and research purposes has expanded. The results showed the SEM’s feasibility as a PM that can promote moderate/vigorous physical activity and health-related fitness components (cardiovascular) through different topic contents and in academic and non-academic settings.

Los juegos populares, tradicionales y autóctonos han sido una fuente de ocio, cultura y diversión durante varias generaciones. Sin embargo, hoy en día, su práctica se está perdiendo entre las nuevas generaciones de jóvenes. La deportivización presente en algunos de ellos ha generado que se cuestione su valor didáctico, lo que requiere una depuración deportiva que doten a los juegos populares y tradicionales de valores educativos que puedan transferirse a la sociedad actual. El modelo de aprendizaje cooperativo puede ser una alternativa metodológica que ayude a cambiar el enfoque en la implementación de estos juegos. Además, el sustento en esta situación de aprendizaje de la Teoría de la Autodeterminación, a través de estrategias de apoyo a la autonomía, competencia y relaciones sociales, podría favorecer la motivación autónoma del alumnado en este tipo de juegos. Por ello, en este trabajo se presenta el diseño e implementación de una situación de aprendizaje sobre juegos populares y tradicionales en Educación Física, basada en el modelo de aprendizaje cooperativo y diferentes estrategias motivacionales. Se desarrollaron un total de 10 clases, en las que participaron 24 estudiantes de tercer curso de Educación Primaria. El desarrollo de situaciones de aprendizaje vinculadas a juegos populares y tradicionales puede favorecer que estos se sigan practicando de generación en generación.

Educación Física con Significado (EFcS). Un planteamiento de futuro para todo el alumnado
Authors: Fernandez-Rio Javier , Saiz-González Pablo
Published: January 2024

Diversas organizaciones y docentes anónimos vienen reclamando un mayor número de horas de clase de Educación Física de manera obligatoria, sin embargo, diferentes estudios señalan que un porcentaje significativo del alumnado considera negativas sus experiencias en las clases de esta asignatura. Por tanto, parece que es más una cuestión de calidad que de cantidad, de tener un impacto positivo en la vida de nuestros estudiantes. Desde hace muy pocos años, se está extendiendo un enfoque para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la Educación Física denominado “Meaningful Physical Education”, que hemos denomina Educación Física con Significado (EFcS). Los autores que han desarrollado este planteamiento señalan la existencia de seis elementos fundamentales que deben aparecer en toda experiencia de Educación Física para que ésta tenga “significado” para todos los estudiantes: 1. Interacción social [Social interaction], 2. Desafío justo [Challenge], 3. Aprendizaje personalmente relevante [Personally Relevant Learning], 4. Disfrute [Delight], 5. Diversión [Fun] y 6. Competencia motriz [Motor Competence]. En el presente artículo se desgrana cada uno de ellos desde los diferentes marcos teóricos que los sustentan. Finalmente, se proporcionan indicaciones para que los docentes puedan integrarlos en sus clases de manera fácil y rápida. Si los modelos pedagógicos “llegaron para quedarse”, la Educación física con Significado (EFcS) representa el futuro de esta materia.
Exploring Maternal and Child Health Among Tribal Communities in India: A Life Course Perspective

Published: January 2024

India experiences high rates of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity, with tribal communities disproportionately affected. Tribal populations frequently live in unfavorable socio-economic conditions and deficient social health indicators, culminating in adverse health consequences. Using a life course perspective, this qualitative study explored risks over the life course that contribute to maternal and child health problems among tribal populations in India. Additionally, the study examined barriers to utilization of healthcare services during the pregnancy and postpartum periods. Data collection occurred between 2017 and 2019 through participant observation, key informant interviews (n = 7) and in-depth interviews (n = 68) and a focus group (n = 7) with tribal women from the Madia-Gond tribe in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Additionally, verbal autopsies were conducted with relatives of three deceased women and five infants from the tribe. Multiple risk factors operating at different socio-ecological levels and developmental stages of life were associated with maternal and child health problems among the tribe. These included adherence to traditional harmful practices, limited access to nutritional diet, women's health neglected due to the double burden of domestic and professional labor, and a lack of accessible and well-equipped medical facilities. Inaccesibility stemmed from factors including extreme poverty, geographical isolation, and suboptimal healthcare infrastructure. There is need for provisions to promote access to care and to promote education and awareness centered on evidence-supported healthcare, particularly targeted towards expectant mothers. The implementation of nutritional support programs may help mitigate high maternal and child mortality and morbidity rates prevalent among tribal populations.

"On February 24, 2022, the Russian-Ukrainian war began, in which hundreds of thousands of military personnel are participating. Almost all military personnel experience combat stress. In our opinion, the most fully reflecting the occurrence of stress in humans, including combat stress in military personnel, is the conservation of resource theory proposed by S. Hobfoll. According to this theory, stress occurs when: central or key resources (health, well-being, family, self-esteem, and a sense of purpose and meaning in life) are threatened with loss, are lost, or cannot be retrieved following significant effort. Combat stress in military personnel can manifest itself in the form of negative manifestations of the psychological, physical, psychophysiological, and behavioral register. The most effective system for the prevention and control of combat stress among military personnel was developed in the US Army. Such a program should contain medical and psychological work activities carried out in three stages: preparatory (before performing combat missions), the stage of direct performance of tasks in the combat zone, and the final stage (after completing tasks upon returning to permanent deployment points)."

"The conundrum of post-psychotic depression (PPD) is still present in the psychiatric literature, for more than a century since it was first described by Mayer-Gross. After a short existence in the DSM-IV and ICD-10, this nosological construct was excluded from newer versions of the mental disorders classifications. Therefore, an exploratory analysis of the PPD concept was considered useful both from clinical and theoretical perspectives. There is a high prevalence of depressive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) and, although not all of them represent cases of PPD, they are considered risk factors for suicide. The arguments and contra-arguments for/against PPD were reviewed, and the potential pharmacological interventions for this disorder were analyzed. The explored evidence indicates that PPD is worth further investigation, and in order to differentiate it from schizoaffective disorder, negative symptoms of SSD, or depressive manifestations within the acute psychotic episodes, clearly defined criteria should be found. The use of validated scales, like the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia and the InterSePT Scale for Suicidal Thinking, is recommended for the initial assessment of depression and suicidal risk in patients with SSD, but also for their monitoring during the acute and maintenance phases. Besides the administration of combined, antidepressant and antipsychotic treatment, the use of clozapine, and the recommendation to initiate treatment for SSD with atypical antipsychotics whenever possible, there is a dearth of studies exploring specific interventions for PPD. Future studies are expected to address the validity of the nosological construct of PPD and the most adequate therapeutic and prophylactic interventions in patients with SSD."

"We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of adsorption therapy as an extracorporeal blood purification technique in critically ill patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A retrospective analysis was performed on 17 adult patients with severe COVID-19, who underwent adsorption therapy using an HA330 cartridge, at Ankara City Hospital. Each adsorption therapy was administered for three consecutive days, and each therapy session lasted three hours. Several parameters, including cytokine levels, blood count, biochemistry panel, clinical status, and mortality rate were assessed before and after each therapy session. The results obtained from this study revealed that adsorption therapy reduced IL-6 levels and improved oxygenation in the short term. However, heart rate, mean arterial pressure and SOFA score did not demonstrate significant changes. Notably, the dose of norepinephrine increased after the third session. Regrettably, only 4 out of 17 patients (23.5%) survived. Consequently, adsorption therapy appears to be effective in reducing IL-6 levels in severe COVID-19 patients. Nonetheless, further investigation is warranted to evaluate its impact on clinical outcomes."

The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning and role of Study Club, a student-led study group in universities, as a major-specific extracurricular program. To this end, we collected and analyzed the operation data of the study club operated at K University as part of the university innovation support project, and based on the contents of the study club corresponding to the average number of club members, we analyzed the study club as a major-specialized extracurricular program. Meaning and role were derived. As a result, the mode of number of study club members was 5, and the type was analyzed based on the main contents of activities for each study club. K University's study club had distinct characteristics of deep learning type and specialized inquiry type, and a mixture of characteristics of deep learning type, specialized inquiry type, and problem solving type. This suggests the importance of the role of the professor, who is the study club's human resource and the club's topic and content planner. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data to specialize student-led study groups into extracurricular programs in future major areas.

Rice bran as rice milling waste is very promising to be used as raw material of oil producer such as biodiesel oil. The production process by using of microwaves has been studied in this research. The production process was carried out in-situ where the extraction process of rice bran oil and the biodiesel formation reaction occured simultaneously in microwave radiation. Rice bran was obtained from Lamongan area with IR 64 type. The reaction was carried out in modified microwaves with variation of operating conditions on reaction times (10, 30 and 50 min) and weight ratio of rice bran to methanol  (1:4, 1:8, 1:12, 1:16 and 1:20). The results obtained were then analyzed by product yield and free fatty acid content. The optimum condition was obtained in the highest yield of the product with the lowest free fatty acid. The results showed that the optimum condition was obtained at reaction time of 30 minutes with the ratio of ricebran:methanol at 1:12.
