Authors: Naganathan Z. , Wickramaratne I.U.
Published: December 2021

Valaichchenai lagoon is one of the major inland fishery sources in Batticaloa. However, status of fishery & socio-economic information were lacking in literature, and this study aimed to fulfil this research gap. Primary data including fishing practices, species, marketing system and supply chain, catch per unit effort, sustainable fishery constraints, and environmental impacts of fishing & related activities, were collected using questionnaire, interviews, and direct field observations. Secondary data were obtained from Fisheries Department of Batticaloa and journal articles. Total of 12 types of fishing gears and the outrigger lagoon canoes (Thoni) were used for fishing and 38 species were identified during study period. Only a very small percentage directly sells fish catch to final consumers, and supply chain includes local and foreign market interventions. Fishermen caught 0.009 to 0.027 kg/net square meter-day, and 0.75 to 3.1 kg/day using a gill net and cast net respectively, on average. Regulations for mesh sizes and certain unauthorized activities, licensing system, and seabass cage culture for sustainable fisheries have been imposed in Valaichchenai lagoon, but there were no species/size limitations, off-season/time limitations with prevailing irresponsible fishing (IUU), seagrass/benthic environment destruction, shrimp farm effluent discharge, disposal from cage fishing harbour & adjacent bout repairing centres, oil spilling from boats and sound pollution issues. It can be suggested that introducing a co-management system, implementing voluntary code of conduct, proper rules and regulations, frequent monitoring, conducting awareness programmes & training programmes for the sustainability of Valaichchenai lagoon fishery.
Status of Studies Investigating Asthma–Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Overlap in Korea: A Review
Authors: Jo Yong Suk
Published: December 2021

There is a considerable number of individuals who exhibit features of both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), defined as asthma-COPD overlap (ACO). Many studies have reported that these patients have a greater burden of symptoms, including cough and dyspnea, and experience more exacerbations and hospitalizations than those with non-ACO COPD or asthma. Although diagnostic criteria for ACO have not yet been clearly established, their clinical significance remains to be determined. As interest in ACO grows, related studies have been conducted in South Korea as well. The present review summarizes ACO-related studies in South Korea to better understand Korean ACO patients and guide further research. Several cohort studies of asthma and COPD and population-based studies for ACO were reviewed and the key results from demographics, clinical features, lung function, biomarkers, treatment, and prognosis were summarized.
Medicinal herbs: The missing link to sustainable aquaculture
Authors: Syed Hasani Ahad Hasan
Published: December 2021

Aquaculture, given its direct role in the human diet, mandates strict quality assurance and health protocols. Healthy fish require a strong immune system to defend themselves from a broad spectrum of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Stimulating the immune system is a prevalent measure taken to ensure satisfactory immune response and disease control. Measures against disease outbreaks are available, such as chemoprophylaxis with vaccines, chemical therapeutics, and antibiotics. All of which, alongside their benefits, pose certain risks to the fish’s habitat and itself. Natural substances extracted from herbs or their parts (roots, leaves, etc) tend to be the most effective therapeutics with the least adverse effects. In this study, natural remedies have been discussed as a potent method of preventive care in aquaculture.
Standard spirometry to assess emphysema in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: the Emphysema Severity Index (ESI)
Authors: Dal Negro Roberto W. , Poletti Matteo , Pistolesi Massimo
Published: December 2021

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a generic term identifying a condition characterized by variable changes in peripheral airways and lung parenchyma. Standard spirometry cannot discriminate the relative role of conductive airways inflammatory changes from destructive parenchymal emphysema changes. The aim of this study was to quantify the emphysema component in COPD by a simple parameter (the Emphysema Severity Index - ESI), previously proved to reflect CT-assessed emphysema.Methods: ESI was obtained by fitting the descending limb of MEFV curves by a fully automated procedure providing a 0 to 10 score of emphysema severity. ESI was computed in COPD patients enrolled in the CLIMA Study.Results: the vast majority of ESI values ranged from 0 to 4, compatible with no-to-mild/moderate emphysema component. A limited proportion of patients showed ESI values >4, compatible with severe-to-very severe emphysema. ESI values were greatly dispersed within each GOLD class indicating that GOLD classification cannot discriminate emphysema and conductive airways changes in patients with similar airflow limitation. ESI and diffusing capacity (DLCO) were significantly correlated (p<0.001). However, the great dispersion in their correlation suggests that ESI and DLCO reflect partially different anatomo-functional determinants in COPD.Conclusions: airflow limitation has heterogenous determinants in COPD. Inflammatory and destructive changes may combine in CT densitometric alterations that cannot be detected by standard spirometry. ESI computation from spirometric data helps to define the prevailing pathogenetic mechanism underlying the measured airflow limitation. ESI could be a reliable advancement to select large samples of patients in clinical or epidemiological trials, and to compare different pharmacological treatments.

Published: December 2021

Background & objectives:

Healthcare workers (HCWs) are considered to be at a high risk of contracting COVID-19 infection. Besides, control of nosocomial infections transmitted from HCWs to the patients is also a cause of concern. This study was undertaken to investigate the seroprevalence of antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus among the hospital staff of a tertiary care health facility in north India.

Methods:

The HCWs were tested for SARS-CoV-2 serology (IgG+IgM) using chemiluminescence immunoassay between June 22 and July 24, 2020. Venous blood (2 ml) was collected and tested for SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM antibodies.

Results:

Of the 3739 HCWs tested, 487 (13%) were positive for total SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The highest seroprevalence was observed in administrative staff (19.6%) and least in physicians (5.4%). The staff who used public (20%) and hospital transportation (16.9%) showed higher seroprevalence compared to staff using personal transportation (12.4%). No difference was observed between HCWs posted in COVID versus non-COVID areas. All seropositive symptomatic HCWs in our study (53.6%) had mild symptoms, and the remaining 46.4 per cent were asymptomatic. The antibody positivity rate progressively increased from 7.0 per cent in the first week to 18.6 per cent in the fourth week during the study.

Interpretation & conclusions:

The presence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in a significant number of asymptomatic HCWs, association with the use of public transport, relatively lower seroprevalence compared with the non-HCWs and rising trend during the period of the study highlight the need for serosurveillance, creating awareness for infection control practices including social distancing and study of infection dynamics in the community for effective control of an infectious pandemic.

Published: December 2021

Background & objectives:

Issues such as emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, food security, biosafety and biosecurity are associated with changes in land use, population growth, urbanization, global travel and trade and climate change. As a result, a trans-disciplinary approach among human, animal and environmental health disciplines gained support. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) decided to establish a National Institute of One Health at Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. In this context, two collaborative research projects, funded by the ICAR and ICMR were initiated to conduct the epidemiological surveillance of selected zoonotic diseases in Central India.

Methods:

Disease surveillance and molecular detection employing standard techniques like enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immuno-fluroscent assay (IFA), standard tube agglutination test (STAT) , Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were undertaken based on the disease to be screened.

Results:

In animals, the seropositivities for listeriosis (7.66%) and brucellosis (11.69%) were recorded. The occurrence of tuberculosis (3.8%) and leptospirosis (6.33%) was detected by PCR. Through cross-sectional studies from suspected human population with associated risk factors for zoonotic diseases, the seropositivity of brucellosis (1.83-11%), listeriosis (1.01-10.18 %), leptospirosis (8.14-12.67%) and scrub typhus (1.78-20.34%) was recorded. The investigations on scrub typhus indicated bimodal pattern during the months of pre-monsoon and post-monsoon season with a peak in post-monsoon in human cases. Ornithonyssus bacoti mites were identified from the rodents as a vector harbouring Orientia tsutsugamushi. The bovine tuberculosis was detected in 1.43 per cent human cases employing molecular assay.

Interpretation & conclusions:

The data indicated the occurrence of important zoonotic diseases adversely affecting the livestock health and human wellbeing. The scientific collaboration between veterinary and medical faculties has set an example for effective implementation of One Health (OH) programme for the establishment of National Institute of OH.

Screening for Chronic Infectious Diseases by Serology in Those Presenting with Malaria in London, United Kingdom
Authors: Gowland Alison , McGuire Emma , Goodman Anna L.
Published: December 2021

The United Kingdom’s cases of malaria infection are primarily acquired in sub-Saharan Africa, with the majority of infections presenting in London.1 When patients go to a hospital with malaria, there is a screening opportunity for other geographically associated chronic infections. We identified patients who were diagnosed with malaria after presenting to our emergency department in London over a 2-year period, to assess whether there may be clinical benefit in screening for chronic viral (hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV) or parasitic (schistosomiasis, strongyloidiasis) infection in this cohort. Over this period, 131 patients were diagnosed with malaria. Crude seropositivity rates for HIV, hepatitis B, and strongyloidiasis were higher than expected compared with local population estimates, 7 and 28 times higher for HIV and hepatitis B, respectively. Those patients with previously unidentified cases were offered appropriate treatment. These findings support the potential clinical and public health benefits of screening for other infectious diseases in the context of a malaria diagnosis.

Reused Shadow Recovery Scheme for Flash-based Edge Gateway Servers
Authors: Byun Siwoo
Published: December 2021

Edge computing refers to decentralized computing technology to reduce cloud computing's overload or security problems that redirect local data to a central data center. Edge computing is emerging as a technology that complements cloud computing in an IoT environment where huge amounts of data are generated in real time. Recently, solid state drives using flash memory have recently been recognized as a suitable storage for massive IoT data services. In this study, we propose a new data recovery scheme based on shadow paging using flash memory for effective and safe data services in IoT edge gateways. The proposed scheme recycles invalidated old data blocks that are discarded when new data is stored. Thus, The proposed scheme minimizes the burden of additional storage space required to traditional shadow paging schemes, and reduces I/O performance degradation. Simulation results show that the space gain of the proposed scheme reaches even to 29%.

Published: December 2021

Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) cobran la vida de cerca de 18 millones de personas cada año, constituyendo la principal causa de muerte e incapacidad en el mundo. Entre las enfermedades cardiovasculares, las arritmias cardiacas son las más comunes. Desde hace varios años, nuevos estudios han destacado las potencialidades de la onda fotopletismográfica para detectar arritmias, superando en sencillez y reducción de costos a la electrocardiografía (ECG). En este estudio se propone un método de detección de picos sistólicos de la onda fotopletismográfica para determinar la frecuencia cardiaca y con ello establecer la presencia de taquicardia, bradicardia o asístole. El método de detección de picos sistólicos calcula la primera derivada de la señal previamente filtrada. A continuación aplica un proceso de umbralización. Finalmente, en una etapa de agrupamiento se emplea el algoritmo DBSCAN. El algoritmo de detección de picos fue evaluado en 42 señales de una base de datos internacional multiparamétrica para la estimación del RR. La evaluación del método mostró alta exactitud y precisión (0±2 ms) y una sensibilidad y valor predictivo positivo del 99 %. Estos resultados permiten determinar la frecuencia cardiaca con una exactitud y precisión de 0±1 latido por minuto. Además, este algoritmo es evaluado en clasificación de arritmias utilizando 155 señales de la base de datos del PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge del 2015. Para esta evaluación el algoritmo mostró resultados aceptables en la detección de asístole, bradicardia y taquicardia. La sensibilidad y el valor predictivo positivo fue del 79% y 88% para asístole, 74% y 64% para bradicardia y, 80% y 99% para taquicardia respectivamente. La efectividad del método puede afectarse en registros de señales con grandes variaciones de amplitud y/o con relaciones señal-ruido (SNR) bajas. No obstante, los resultados en estas condiciones son aceptables y son muy buenos en señales de alto SNR.

Transforming Problematic Into Positive: Practice-Based Recommendations for Resolving Paradigmatic and Methodological Conflicts in Appreciative Inquiry
Authors: Jennewein Bryan
Published: December 2021

Researchers have employed Appreciative Inquiry (AI) in a variety of methodological contexts, in a variety of settings, and toward a variety of outcomes. For practitioners seeking to both identity and amplify the best of what is, AI has been a sort of multi-functional toolset, improving outcomes both small and grand. Amidst this successful history of the application of Appreciative Inquiry (AI), little attention has been given to some of the limitations or even risks of applying its practices to whatever extent and toward whichever outcomes. The models supplied by AI may prove problematic in several ways, among them: ontological realism, epistemological objectivism, the potential for axiological denial and ethical deception, the potential for methodological discord, a posture rooted in problems, blind spotting, and a neglect of the integral nature of things. This paper brings together the theoretical premises of Appreciative Inquiry methodologies, emerging considerations from transdisciplinarity and consciousness studies, and practical applications from a recent AI project, so as to construct considerations and recommendations for AI practitioners for resolving some of the methodological and paradigmatic conflicts that may arise.

The logistics system is one of the most important subsystems of the production enterprise. This system is responsible for the timeliness and efficiency of logistics activities at the enterprise. Creating the logistics system for the company is based on solving a set of problems, where the development of an algorithm for its design is key one. The article proposes an eventual model of the algorithm for designing the logistics system of a production enterprise. The design algorithm was developed taking into account the activities of oil and fat industry enterprises. Structurally, the algorithm consists of three phases - the formation of an information array for the design of the logistics system, the design of the logistics system, the installation of the logistics system project at the enterprise. The optimal number of stages was substantiated for each design phase. According to the design stages, a list of works that must be performed in the process of project development and installation was described. Information on the time spent on each job at the stages of design and installation of the logistics system was provided. It is indicated that the development and installation of a logistics system at a manufacturing plant can take three to four months. The obtained research results are important for the top management of enterprises. They will allow to be guided in productivity of process of designing and installation of logistic systems. In the future, this will provide an opportunity to correctly draw up a logistics plan and adjust the development strategy of the enterprise. The material presented in the article is useful for researchers in terms of further consideration of improving existing or developing new algorithms and techniques for designing logistics systems of industrial enterprises.

The human serum albumin (HSA) is well known for its extraordinary binding capacity for both endogenous and exogenous compounds, including a wide range of drugs. The goal of our investigation was to evaluate the distribution process for 15 CNS active compounds. The drug-plasma protein interaction was evaluated under simulative physiological conditions on the HSA-based stationary phase by using the mixture of Sørensen phosphate buffer (pH 7.40) and acetonitrile modifier as a mobile phase (84:16 v/v). The retention parameters (k) were used to approximate the % of protein-binding by calculating the P(%) values. The results obtained through this study demonstrated that the constitutional properties (e.g. number of total bonds, atoms, carbon atoms) and lipophilicity have a strong positive impact on the HSA-binding affinity. The coefficient of diffusion has a negative impact, while the atoms and sites available for the CYP450 oxidation showed the most significant correlation (r = 0.92). This study provides a basis for further in vitro chromatographical investigations of drug-HSA interaction for CNS active compounds. The correlation between obtained retention data and the availability to enzymes oxidation indicates the application of the tested system in the assessment of the metabolic degradation profile of CNS related drugs.

Schiff bases, or azomethine compounds, are commonly employed in the fields of organic synthesis, metal complexes, materials, and engineering. Especially, they have gained importance in medicinal researches, considering their antimicrobial, anticancer, anti- inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. On the other side, azo dyes are the most significant group of synthetic dyes, utilized in textile fiber dyeing. Conjugation of Schiff bases with azo compounds leads to the class of azo-azomethine dyes, which have numerous applications related to their coloration and biological properties. Viscose is a textile material widely used in the medicine. Moreover, viscose fiber can be engineered in many ways which are significant in the development of medical materials. The antioxidant effect is an important feature of medical textiles, such as wound dressings. In this work, the microwave-assisted synthesis and characterization of novel azo-azomethine dye are reported. The azo-azomethine dye is obtained by the condensation between arylazo pyridone dye and 4-aminophenol. The structure of synthesized dye was determined by ATR-FTIR, NMR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Azo- azomethine dye was used for dyeing viscose, and the washing fastness of dyed material was evaluated according to the standard method. The viscose fabrics, before and after washing, were analyzed in terms of their color coordinates in the CIELab color space. The antioxidant properties of azo-azomethine dye and dyed viscose fabrics were examined by the ABTS method.

In this manuscript, the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the previously synthesized coumarin derivative 3- (1- (3-hydroxyphenyl) amino) ethylidene) chroman-2,4-dione (L) and its corresponding palladium (II) complex (C) were examined. Their antimicrobial activity was screened against four strains of bacteria Bacillus cereus (ATCC 11778) G+; Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 13709) G+; Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 27736) G-; and Escherichia coli (ATCC 2592) G-) and three strains of fungi (Aspergillus flavus (ATCC15517); Candida albicans (ATCC 10231); Fusarium oxysporum (ATCC 695) using disc diffusion and microdilution method. The obtained minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values by microdilution method for ligand and complex are similar for all tested bacteria and fungi, which means that both compounds have a similar antimicrobial effect. On the other hand, analysis of zone of inhibition (ZI) values for the tested compounds shows that the complex is generally somewhat more active than the ligand.

The method that will be presented, is numerical solution based on the Legendre wavelets for solving dual systems of fractional integro-diﬀerential equations (FIDEs). First of all we make the operational matrix of fractional order integration. The application of this matrix is transforming FIDEs to a system of algebric equations. By this changing, we are able to solve it by a simple solution. In this way, the Legendre wavelets and their operator matrix are the most important keys of our solution. After explaining the method we test on some illustrative examples which numerical solutions of these examples demonstrate the validity and applicability of suggested method.
