Background

K. pneumoniae stands as a prominent contributor to hospital outbreaks on a global scale. Furthermore, there is a rising trend of antibiotic-resistant strains of K. pneumoniae causing severe and potentially fatal invasive infections, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Thus, knowledge of the genetic relatedness of this bacterium is necessary to solve this problem using the BOX–PCR technique.

Objective

This research aimed to determine the genetic relatedness of nosocomial K. pneumoniae isolated from different clinical sources with antibiotic resistance.

Materials and Methods

Between March 2021 and June 2021, a collective of 45 nosocomial K. pneumoniae isolates were obtained from various sources. Additionally, all isolates underwent diagnosis through both conventional tests and an automated system, specifically the VITEK-2. In the present study, six antibiotics from different classes were examined for activity against K. pneumoniae using Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion. DNA was extracted from fifteen isolated using Wizard™ Genomic DNA Purification Kit. Thus, BOX-PCR was used to identify the genetic relatedness of this bacterium.

Results

According to the source of samples, they were distributed to 25/45 (55.56%) sputum, 15/45 (33.33%) urine, 3/45(6.67%) wound, and 2/45(4.44%) blood. The antibiotic susceptibility profile revealed high resistance rates, notably against 95.5% Piperacillin-tazobactam, 80% Ceftriaxone and Ceftazidime, and 75.6% Cefepime. Of the 45 K. pneumoniae isolates analyzed, a significant proportion exhibited resistance to multiple antibiotics, with 33.33% classified as MDR strains. Molecular typing using BOX repetitive sequences demonstrated a high degree of genetic variability among the isolates, with the presence of unique genotypes and strong clonality observed. Dendrogram analysis showed the genetic relationship among antibiotics-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates.

Conclusion

The current work showed that the BOX-PCR technique is necessary for the investigation of the genetic diversity of K. pneumoniae, and it is an easy, reproducible, fast, and cost-effective tool.

Authors: Habib Muhammad Salman , Rafiq Muhammad Asif
Published: August 2024

The demand of energy highlight the need to explore new energy resources
with less emissions without depleting the environment. With this perspective, novel
perovskite lead-free materials are taking over the conventional energy systems of fossil
fuels that produce carbon in the environment. It has been years of struggle that
scientists are working on materials for more energy with less waste materials. The
challenge was readily accepted by perovskite nanomaterials that can generate energy,
store it, and use it when required. The development of these nanomaterials with their
promising properties such as dielectric coefficient, superconductivity, and
sustainability at high temperatures, withstand high mechanical properties and can be
coated, pasted, or in the form of thin and thick films. This can be done by the solidstate reaction (SSR) mixing the metallic oxides in a fixed ratio in ball milling by wet or
dry method. The composites prepared were calcined, pressed, and sintered at high
temperatures. Following the characterization to check the properties make them
superior for high-energy advanced applications. The perovskite nanomaterials’
composites can be utilized perfectly for hydrogen generation and production,
photocatalysis reactions, photovoltaic solar cells, solid oxide fuel cells, electrolysis,
supercapacitors, sensors, actuators, structural health monitoring applications and
metal-air batteries. This chapter covers the application-based synthesis,
characterizations, and properties of the perovskite nanomaterials for high-energy
applications.

Authors: Khalifa Nodar. O. , Mofdal Manahil E. , Talib Nada H.
Published: August 2024

The aim of this research can be divided into two stages. The first stage is to
synthesize and find a simple and less expensive method to produce titanium dioxide
nanostructures with optimum properties that can be used in the construction of lowcost, nanoparticle-based solar cells as a replacement for custom silicon solar cells. The
second stage is to determine the effect of natural dyes on the performance and
efficiency of TiO2
nano-structure dye synthesized solar cells (TiO2
DSSC) via spin
coating. In order to improve and enhance the performance and efficiency of dye solar
cells, thin film TiO2
nanostructure was synthesized using the sol-gel process, which is
simple and inexpensive. Afterward, different natural dies were introduced in the
fabrication process over the TiO2
layer also via spin coating. The function of the dye is
to confine a sufficient amount of light, for optimum performance and power conversion
efficiency. In the last fabrication step, graphite contacts were evaporated on the top dye
layer. The I-V characteristics of the different dyes were studied and the structural
properties of the TiO2
nanostructures were investigated through an X-Ray Diffraction
(XRD) pattern. The TiO2
nanoparticles’ morphology and particle size were determined
by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), while the optical band gap energy was
found by employing UV-VIS-NIR diffuse absorption spectroscopy. Three types of
natural dye were used which were Roselle, curcumin, and black tea and their
conversion efficiencies were 8.46, 6.94, and 6.33 respectively, which is considered
acceptable compared to the results obtained by other researchers.

Objective. Analyze the implementation features of a “Port scanning” attack using a “Zombie” computer to hide the IP address of the attacking machine.Method. The method is based on computer simulation of a “port scanning” attack using a virtual infrastructure of the network.Result. Theoretical aspects related to the implementation of a “port scanning” attack using a “zombie” computer are analyzed. The parameters by which a “zombie” machine is selected on the network are indicated. A computer simulation of a “port scanning” attack using a virtual infrastructure of the network was carried out. Simulation results illustrating the successful implementation of the attack are presented. A simple way to counter this attack is proposed.Conclusion. When implementing a port scanning attack using the Nmap utility, you can obtain a lot of valuable information related to open TCP ports and services running on the attacked systems. To ensure security when conducting port scanning, attackers can successfully use technology to mask the IP address of the attacking machine by using a “zombie” computer. The technique of replacing the attacker’s IP address with the IP address of a “zombie” machine is not only effective, but also safe for attackers. By using a “zombie” machine, the attacker scans ports without revealing his real location, which allows him to avoid legal consequences associated with illegal activity on the network. By analyzing the data obtained after scanning, an attacker can obtain information about which ports are open on the target computer and create a map of the vulnerabilities of the attacked system. As a way to protect against this attack, it is enough to use the Windows Firewall with standard settings.

Authors: Saxena Ashish , Shaikh Zubia Akhtar , Verma Manish
Published: August 2024

This article examines the global and Indian landscape of fraud, with a focus on financial statement fraud and its implications. Real-life cases, including the Enron scandal, the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme, and the Nirav Modi-PNB fraud case, demonstrate the magnitude and impact of fraud. Financial statement fraud, involving deceitful practices in financial reporting, can lead to severe consequences such as bankruptcy, job losses, and a loss of trust in corporate governance. Fraud also has geopolitical implications, undermining confidence in financial markets and triggering discussions on corporate governance reform. Additionally, fraud can have ecological consequences, particularly through greenwashing practices. To combat fraud effectively, strategies such as strengthening regulatory frameworks, enhancing corporate governance practices, and investing in advanced technologies for fraud detection and prevention are crucial. Fostering a strong ethical culture and implementing robust risk management frameworks are also essential in mitigating fraud risks. By addressing fraud, societies can protect their economies, promote transparency, and encourage sustainable and ethical practices.

Objetive. Expose nematodes of the Anisakidae family to different aqueous extracts and identify the aqueous extracts with nematicidal capacity. Material and methods. The concentrations of the bioactive compounds of the aqueous extracts of epazote (Dysphania ambrosioides), onion (Allium cepa), siempre viva (Kalanchoe pinnata) and xoconostle (Opuntia oligacantha) were identified. Live parasites of the Anisakidae family were obtained from Lisa fish (Mugilidae), to be exposed to different concentrations of aqueous extracts. Results. K. pinnata and O. oligocantha presented a higher concentration of bioactive components of polyphenols, flavonoids and tannins; as well as in the antioxidant activity of DPPH and ABTS. Parasite mortality occurred at a concentration of 855 mg/mL for K. pinnata of 100% at 48 hours, and in pulp and whole fruit of O. oligacantha, with mortality of 66% at 72 hours. The main histopathological changes caused by K. pinnata were muscle vacuoles; the whole fruit of O. oligocantha degeneration of the intestinal epithelium and vacuolization; the seed caused edema, intestinal degeneration, and vacuolization. Conclusions. The results indicate that the use of aqueous extracts of K. pinnata and O. oligacantha on nematodes of the Anisakidae family are an option for their use as nematicidal agents.

UNSTRUCTURED

Participatory design is an increasingly common informatics method to engage target audiences in the development of health-related resources. Participatory design is particularly helpful for developing information visualizations that aim to improve health outcomes by means of improved comprehension, communication and/or engagement, and subsequent behavior changes. Existing literature on participatory design lacks the practical details that influence success of the method and does not address emergent issues such as strategies to enhance virtual data collection. In this tutorial, our objective is to provide practical guidance on how to prepare for, conduct, and analyze participatory design sessions for information visualization. The primary audience for this tutorial is research teams, but this guide is relevant for organizations and other health professionals looking to design visualizations for their patient populations as they can use this guide as a procedural manual. This start-to-finish guide provides information on how to: prepare for design sessions by setting objectives and applying theoretical foundations, plan design sessions to match project goals; conduct design sessions in different formats with varying populations; and carry out effective analysis. We also address how the methods in this guide can be implemented in the context of resource constraints. In this tutorial are: a glossary of relevant terms, pros and cons of variations in the type of design session, a preparation checklist, a sample design session guide and selection of useful design session prompts, and examples of how surveys can supplement the design process.

BACKGROUND

Advancements in technology offer new opportunities to support vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women and women diagnosed with breast cancer, during physiologically and psychologically stressful periods.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to adapt and co-design the World Health Organization’s Self-Help Plus intervention into a mobile health intervention for these target groups.

METHODS

On the basis of the Obesity-Related Behavioral Intervention Trials and Center for eHealth Research and Disease Management models, low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes were developed. Prototypes were evaluated by 13 domain experts from diverse sectors and 15 participants from the target groups to assess usability, attractiveness, and functionality through semantic differential scales, the User Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale questionnaire, and semistructured interviews.

RESULTS

Feedback from participants indicated positive perceptions of the mobile health intervention, highlighting its ease of use, appropriate language, and attractive multimedia content. Areas identified for improvement included enhancing user engagement through reminders, monitoring features, and increased personalization. The quality of the content and adherence to initial protocols were positively evaluated.

CONCLUSIONS

This research provides valuable insights for future studies aiming to enhance the usability, efficacy, and effectiveness of the app, suggesting the potential role of a chatbot-delivered Self-Help Plus intervention as a supportive tool for pregnant women and women with a breast cancer diagnosis.

Authors: Zhang Wei , Shen Daisi
Published: August 2024

In the context of globalization, this paper explores the dialectical perspectives on national security and its implications. While globalization has fostered integration in areas such as culture, economy, and ideology, it has also introduced novel challenges to traditional concepts of national security. The paper argues that while globalization has led to a shift in security perceptions from the national to the global level, national security remains a fundamental concern. It discusses the impacts of globalization on security aspects including information technology, economy, military, social stability, and international terrorism. It concludes that a balanced approach, integrating both national and global security considerations, is crucial in addressing the security challenges posed by globalization.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: To analyze, at a laboratory level, the biodiesel production yield by transesterification of the vegetable oil extracted from weed species growing in local crop areas in Aguascalientes, México.
Methodological Design: The study evaluated the biodiesel production yield by transesterification of the vegetable oil from the weed species Bidens ferulifolia (Jacq.) DC., Tithonia tubaeformis (Jacq.) Cass., and Bidens sambucifolia (Cav.). Their vegetable oil is extracted through an L9(34) design using alcohols and alkanes as solvents. Transesterification is conducted under an L4(23) design, employing NAOH and methanol as a catalyst and excess alcohol, respectively. Raman Spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the biodiesel samples obtained.
Results: In the FTIR and Raman spectra of the obtained biodiesel, peaks were observed at wavenumbers 1740 cm-1 and 1450 cm-1, respectively, corresponding to the C=O group of the conventional ester present in the fatty acid methyl esters of the biodiesel. This confirms that biodiesel was successfully produced from the studied weed species with production yields ranging between 10.3 and 15.3%.
Research limitations: This is one of the first studies to provide information on the biodiesel production capacity of the selected weed species.
Findings: Biodiesel was successfully produced through transesterifying vegetable oil extracted from the selected weed species. Further research is warranted to enhance biodiesel yields.

Waste, a byproduct of human activity, can cause environmental pollution if released without proper processing. It can accumulate in piles, disturbing natural beauty and emitting unpleasant odors. The aim of this research is to from the students to care about the environment by learning with the Bubble Wrap Recycling Project, Used Plastic and Patchwork. The method of this project is a structured experiment. Common waste includes bubble wrap, plastic, and rags from the convection industry. A student project in an environmental science course involved recycling these materials into sitting pillows. Three variants were tested: 10% bubble wrap, 10% plastic waste, 80% patchwork, 15% bubble wrap, 15% plastic waste, 70% rags, and 20% bubble wrap, 20% plastic waste, 60% rags. The pillow's comfort was measured using a Linkert scale of 1-5. The results showed that the pillow measures 40cm. Recycling is a way to promote environmental care and awareness. Cooperation from educational agents, such as supervisors, leaders, and lecturers, is needed to increase students' environmental awareness. This includes examples of good environmental actions in daily routines, such as disposing of waste and implementing 3R practices.
