COVID-19 control measures have resulted in a decline in invasive bacterial disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis (IMD), Streptococcus pneumoniae (IPD), and Haemophilus influenzae (Hi-D). These species comprise different serogroups and serotypes that impact transmissibility and virulence. We evaluated type- and pathogen-specific changes in invasive bacterial disease epidemiology in the Netherlands during the first year of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Cases were based on nationwide surveillance for five bacterial species with either respiratory (IMD, IPD, Hi-D) or non-respiratory (controls) transmission routes and were compared from the pre-COVID period (April 2015–March 2020) to the first COVID-19 year (April 2020–March 2021). IMD, IPD, and Hi-D cases decreased by 78%, 67%, and 35%, respectively, in the first COVID-19 year compared to the pre-COVID period, although effects differed per age group. Serogroup B-IMD declined by 61%, while serogroup W and Y-IMD decreased >90%. IPD caused by serotypes 7F, 15A, 12F, 33F, and 8 showed the most pronounced decline (≥76%). In contrast to an overall decrease in Hi-D cases, vaccine-preventable serotype b (Hib) increased by 51%. COVID-19 control measures had pathogen- and type-specific effects related to invasive infections. Continued surveillance is critical to monitor potential rebound effects once restriction measures are lifted and transmission is resumed.

Background: Toxoplasma gondii is estimated to infect 33% of blood donors worldwide, and seroprevalence varies widely between countries. We aimed to evaluate, for the first time, the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with T. gondii in blood donors from Western Romania. Methods: Serologic testing to demonstrate the presence of T. gondii antibodies was conducted in 1347 healthy blood donors. Risk factors for T. gondii infection were assessed through an epidemiological questionnaire. Results: The overall prevalence of T. gondii antibodies was 45.9%, with a significant age-associated increase (p < 0.001) from 32.6% in age group 18–25 years to 67.6% in age group 56–63 years. T. gondii seroprevalence decreased with increasing level of education, from 64.3% in individuals who graduated from elementary/middle school to 40.4% in those who graduated from University (p < 0.001). The multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that age, level of education and having pets (cats and/or dogs) were significantly associated with T. gondii infection. Conclusions: This study brings new and valuable data regarding the seroepidemiology of T. gondii infection in Romania. Our findings indicate a high prevalence of T. gondii antibodies in blood donors and may serve as a starting point for further epidemiological studies that should lead to implementation of prevention programs for toxoplasmosis.

Paramecium (Ciliophora) systematics is well studied, and about twenty morphological species have been described. The morphological species may include several genetic species. However, molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that the species diversity within Paramecium could be even higher and has raised a problem of cryptic species whose statuses remain uncertain. In the present study, we provide the morphological and molecular characterization of two novel Paramecium species. While Paramecium lynni n. sp., although morphologically similar to P. multimicronucleatum, is phylogenetically well separated from all other Paramecium species, Paramecium fokini n. sp. appears to be a cryptic sister species to P. multimicronucleatum. The latter two species can be distinguished only by molecular methods. The number and structure of micronuclei, traditionally utilized to discriminate species in Paramecium, vary not only between but also within each of the three studied species and, thus, cannot be considered a reliable feature for species identification. The geographic distribution of the P. multimicronucleatum and P. fokini n. sp. strains do not show defined patterns, still leaving space for a role of the geographic factor in initial speciation in Paramecium. Future findings of new Paramecium species can be predicted from the molecular data, while morphological characteristics appear to be unstable and overlapping at least in some species.
Natural Field Airborne Electromagnetics—History of Development and Current Exploration Capabilities
Authors: Prikhodko Alexander , Bagrianski Andrei , Kuzmin Petr , Sirohey Aamna
Published: May 2022

The mineral resources exploration industry continuously expands the efficiency requirements for geophysical technologies. Due to their relatively inexpensive nature, coupled with the ability to rapidly acquire data over large areas, airborne electromagnetic technologies have been used for decades in subsurface exploration. Limitations on the depth of investigation of airborne platforms with controlled primary field sources is the main obstacle for using these systems in many geoelectrical conditions and geographical terrains. In addition, systems based on the time-domain principle are limited in applications requiring differentiations in a high resistivity range of the mapping parameter and suffer from parasitic electromagnetic non inductive natural effects in specific near surface conditions. Methods exploiting natural electromagnetic fields in the audio frequency range significantly increase depth of investigation and sensitivity to a wide range of resistivity contrasts including in the range of thousands of ohm-ms. A brief history of the development of the natural field airborne technology is provided accompanied by a comparison of the systems technical specifications. Field examples from the latest development in the airborne electromagnetic natural fields’ domain, MobileMT, demonstrate its exploration capabilities in both conductive and resistive environments, sensitivity to any direction of geoelectrical boundary, and detectability of near-surface discrete targets along with deeper structures.

Energy drinks (EDs) are non-alcoholic beverages containing high amounts of caffeine and other psychoactive substances. EDs also contain herbal extract whose concentration is usually unknown. EDs can have several adverse effects on different organs and systems, but their effects on the gastrointestinal (GI) tract have been poorly investigated. To determine the acute effects of EDs on the GI tract, we administered EDs, coffee, soda cola, or water to Sprague–Dawley rats (n = 7 per group, randomly assigned) for up to five days, and analyzed the histopathological changes in the GI tract. Data were compared among groups by Kruskal–Wallis or Mann–Whitney tests. We found that, while EDs did not cause any evident acute lesion to the GI tract, they triggered eosinophilic infiltration in the intestinal mucosa; treatment with caffeine alone at the same doses found in EDs leads to the same effects, suggesting that it is caffeine and not other substances present in the EDs that causes this infiltration. The interruption of caffeine administration leads to the complete resolution of eosinophilic infiltration. As no systemic changes in pro-inflammatory or immunomodulating molecules were observed, our data suggest that caffeine present in ED can cause a local, transient inflammatory status that recruits eosinophils.

Ecological and Wildfire Responses to Rapid Landscape Changes within the Last ~900 Years on the South Haven Peninsula, Dorset (Southern England)
Authors: Howlett Daniel , Wulf Sabine , Wharram Scarlett , Hardiman Mark , Byrne Harry
Published: May 2022

A multi-proxy palaeoenvironmental dataset (LOI, pollen, charcoal, grain sizes and the humification index) was extracted and radiocarbon dated from a sedimentary sequence from Spur Bog, central South Haven Peninsula (Dorset, southern England) to reconstruct ecological and environmental changes within the last ~900 years. These analyses reveal highly unstable environmental conditions at the site, evidencing the occurrence of multiple, often rapid changes during this period. The results significantly expand upon the existing palaeoenvironmental and geomorphological frameworks of the South Haven Peninsula which previously relied upon sparse, vague historical records prior to ~1750 AD. The multi-proxy dataset of Spur Bog sediments recorded a primary “development” phase (~1150–1470 AD) during which marine processes were the dominant control upon environmental conditions at the site, resulting in marked geomorphological changes that lead to the progressive eastward expansion of the South Haven Peninsula. This is followed by a secondary “maturation” phase (~1470–1880 AD) during which the Spur Bog sequence exhibits significant ecological changes in response to fluctuations in sea level, coastal erosion and human activity, demonstrating the vulnerability of the site to future climatic and anthropogenic pressures.

Authors: Bright Tyrone , Adali Sarp , Bright Glen
Published: May 2022

Human–robot collaboration (HRC) enables humans and robots to coexist in the same working environment by performing production operations together. HRC systems are used in advanced manufacturing to improve the productivity and efficiency of a manufacturing process. The question is which HRC systems can ensure that humans can work with robots in a safe environment. This present study proposes a solution through the development of a low-cost sensory glove. This glove was developed using a number of hardware and software tools. The sensory glove analysed and computed the motion and orientation of a worker’s hand. This was carried out to operate the robot through commands and actions while under safe operating conditions. The sensory glove was built as a mechatronic device and was controlled by an algorithm that was designed and developed to compute the data and create a three-dimensional render of the glove as it moved. The image produced enabled the robot to recognize the worker’s hand when collaboration began. Tests were conducted to determine the accuracy, dynamic range and practicality of the system. The results showed that the sensory glove is an innovative low-cost solution for humans and robots to collaborate safely. The sensory glove was able to provide a safe working environment for humans and robots to collaborate on operations together.

Published: May 2022

Technical xylene is a compound of massive production that is used in applications such as petrochemical and healthcare laboratories. Exposure to xylene can cause acute and chronic effects in humans and animals. Currently available studies regarding xylene’s adverse effects with credible designs were dated almost twenty years ago. This systematic review summarizes the findings regarding the detrimental effects of technical xylene from human, animal, and in vitro studies. It recapitulated available studies with respect to the effects of xylene on the female reproductive system to stress the need for updating the current data and guidelines. Based on pre-specified criteria, 22 studies from journal databases exploring the toxic effects of xylene on menstruation, endocrine endpoints, fetal development, and reproductive functions were included for the review. It was found that related studies with a specific focus on the effects of technical xylene on the female reproductive system were insufficient. Therefore, further studies are necessary to update the existing data, thus improving the quality and reliability of risk assessment of exposure to xylene in pregnant women

Biology is not Alone: The Interdisciplinary Nature of Biosecurity
Authors: Galbraith Mel , Blanchon Dan
Published: May 2022

Recognition and management of anthropogenic environmental impacts as ‘biosecurity’ is a relatively new concept to our society. Although biosecurity risks are based on biological impacts, biosecurity management is truly interdisciplinary-transdisciplinary since the definition and interpretation of risk and adverse effects are socially constructed, and the outcomes and management of the risks can have significant social and economic impacts. The New Zealand biosecurity strategy is very clear that the responsibilities for environmental risk management lie with society as a whole. The authors explore how disciplines other than biology may contribute to the understanding of biosecurity risks, their management and mitigation. This paper outlines the interdisciplinary-transdisciplinary nature of biosecurity, with an emphasis on the social and economic elements.
O Lewisovu poimanju pakla
Authors: Kovač Damjan , Vulić Boris
Published: May 2022

Članak analizira poimanje pakla u djelima engleskog pisca C. S. Lewisa. Nakon uvida o čovjekovoj slobodnoj volji, prikazuju se i kritički promišlja Lewisovo opisivanje stanja pakla, posebice u njegovu djelu Velika rastava. Pakao je nužna mogućnost za ljudsku slobodu, a sloboda je nužni uvjet za postojanje pakla. Po svojoj se slobodi čovjek okrenuo od Boga prema sebi i u sebe te tako narušio sve svoje odnose i otvorio vrata zlu, kojemu je postao podložniji i sve mu se teže opire. Time je otvoren put stanja u kojem se čovjek toliko smanjuje da postaje konačno ništa. Zato je pakao malen, mizeran i neznatan i iz njega čovjek jednostavno više ne može ili ne želi van.
Pravo pacijenata na privatnost u medijskom
prostoru u svjetlu crkvenog nauka i pozitivnih zakona Republike Hrvatske
Authors: Mihalj Dijana , Burilović Crnov Silvana
Published: May 2022

Govor o pravu na privatnost osobito je aktualan u suvremeno, digitalno doba. Brojni su primjeri kršenja prava na privatnost. Iako se ono izravno tiče zaštite unutarnjeg područja ljudske osobe, njegove savjesti, privatnog i obiteljskog života, zapravo dotiče mnoga društvena područja. U kontekstu govora o pravu na privatnost veoma je važna uloga medija. Djelovanje medija usmjereno je na javnu sferu, tiče se prava na informaciju, a pravo na privatnost na osobnu sferu. Stoga su često oprečne zakonske regulative jednog i drugog dobra. Kad su subjekti prava na privatnost pacijenti, problem se dodatno komplicira jer u nekim slučajevima zaštita zdravlja poprima karakter pitanja od općeg interesa. To se osobito očitovalo u medijskom izvješćivanju o pandemiji COVID-a 19. Rad želi istražiti što o pravu na privatnost govore crkveni nauk i pozitivni zakoni Republike Hrvatske te posebno razmotriti pacijente kao subjekte tog prava u medijskom diskursu. Cilj je dati neke odgovore na pitanja kao što su: Je li javni interes znati iznad dostojanstva pacijenata? Kada i zašto je važno ne iznositi dijagnozu pacijenata? Tko ima koristi od neetičkih i bioetički neopreznih izvještavanja? Krajnja svrha rada je senzibilizirati medije kad je riječ o iznošenju činjenica o zdravstvenim stanjima osobe, vodeći se pozitivnim građanskim zakonima, načelima crkvenoga nauka i odredbama iz kanonskopravnog područja. Nakana rada nije pravno procijeniti pojedine slučajeve, već općim prikazom otvoriti pitanja i spriječiti negativne posljedice pogrešnog pristupa i neosjetljivosti za problematiku koja je predmet ovog rada.
Diálogos sobre la experiencia virtual durante la pandemia y sus consecuencias en un posible escenario de postpandemia

Published: May 2022

En el presente trabajo, proponemos el formato de diálogo entre lxs estudiantes adscriptxs de la cátedra de Historia de la Lengua (Letras) con su directora para reflexionar sobre el trabajo en equipo realizado durante la cursada virtual en el contexto de pandemia. Se parte de la premisa básica del “maestro ignorante” propuesta por el filósofo francés Jacques Rancière (Le maître ignorant, París, Fayard, 1987), que rompe con la enseñanza clásica basada en la idea de que un sujeto –el maestro– posee un conocimiento que es transmitido mediante una explicación a otro sujeto –el alumno– que no lo tiene, reproduciendo de algún modo las desigualdades propias de las relaciones sociales de producción capitalista. Así, si una de las misiones fundamentales de la universidad pública es lograr la igualdad social a través del acceso al desarrollo del pensamiento crítico, consideramos que el diálogo horizontal, plural y transversal a la vez entre estudiantes y docentes es fundamental para reflexionar sobre los periodos más críticos, en un intento de mejorar la igualdad de oportunidades. De este modo, se ponen de manifiesto reflexiones sobre experiencias de lxs estudiantes vividas durante el primer cuatrimestre de cursada virtual que sirvieron de base para reformular la dinámica de una comisión de trabajos prácticos de Historia de la Lengua en el segundo cuatrimestre de 2020.

Published: May 2022

O envolvimento cognitivo (EC) do aluno é um pré-requisito para uma aprendizagem significativa. Este texto analisa o EC do aluno numa proposta baseada no modelo Flipped Classroom (FC) na educação a distância (EaD). Implementou-se a proposta no ensino secundário português, através de um ciclo de investigação-ação, durante a pandemia Covid-19, com aulas assíncronas e síncronas divididas em atividades conduzidas pelo professor (ACP) e atividades centradas no aluno (ACA). Com o objetivo de compreender a influência do design das atividades no EC do aluno e o impacto da proposta nos desempenhos acadêmicos dos alunos, analisaram-se os discursos dos alunos, as percepções sobre a EaD e os testes de avaliação de conhecimentos. Os resultados mostraram níveis superiores de EC do aluno nas ACA, pois estas permitiram um papel mais ativo dos alunos na construção do conhecimento, uma maior facilitação da professora e aprendizagens com os pares. Os desempenhos acadêmicos dos alunos foram superiores na EaD comparativamente ao ensino presencial, o que pode estar associado aos indicadores de EC (autopercepções positivas, autoeficácia e compreensão dos conteúdos) identificados nas percepções dos alunos. Porém, a mesma análise também identificou vários aspetos que carecem de melhoria para potenciar o modelo FC na EaD.
natureza jurídica dos crimes de responsabilidade presidencial no direito brasileiro
Authors: Megali Neto Almir
Published: May 2022

o objetivo deste trabalho consiste refutar os argumentos utilizados por Rafael Mafei Rabelo Queiroz para abandonar a leitura que confere aos crimes de responsabilidade natureza pelo menos em parte jurídico-penal. Posteriormente, os argumentos apresentados pelo autor para afirmar que a natureza política dos crimes de responsabilidade seria mais adequada do ponto de vista conceitual e prático serão refutados. Pretende-se demonstrar que as esferas de responsabilização do Presidente da República estabelecidas pela Constituição de 1988 impede a equiparação de crimes de responsabilidade a crimes comuns, mas não retira o caráter jurídico-penal dessas infrações. A partir de uma leitura combinada dos artigos 85, parágrafo único, e 22, inciso, I, da Constituição de 1988, e com apoio na doutrina de Pontes de Miranda, será sustentado que é no sobredireito do direito penal, especificamente, no direito hermenêutico do direito penal, que se encontra a justificativa para conferir pelo menos em parte natureza jurídico-penal aos crimes de responsabilidade. Em seguida, será argumentado que a proposta de conferir natureza essencialmente política aos crimes de responsabilidade confunde impeachment com voto de desconfiança e desconsidera as distinções existentes entre as tradições brasileira e estadunidense do impeachment, em razão do fato de que, no Brasil, os crimes de responsabilidade são definidos por lei. A metodologia utilizada é a revisão de bibliografia.

Nutritional status is a sign of achieving the fulfillment of children's nutrition. One of the efforts to further develop children's nutrition is to give breast milk (ASI). The percentage of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia is still low, not reaching the national target of 80%. Knowledge is one element that can affect breastfeeding. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between mother's knowledge and exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 6-12 months in the working area of Tinoor Health Center, North Tomohon Subdistrict, using an analytical design research method using a cross sectional methodology. The population in this study were all mothers who had babies 6-12 months old in the working area of the Tinoor Health Center, North Tomohon District in August-September 2021, totaling 74 people. The sample uses total sampling. The research instrument used a questionnaire in the form of a google form. Characteristics of respondents, most of them graduated from high school, namely 65 people (87.8%), and work as IRT were 64 people (86.5%), most of the respondents had moderate knowledge, 56 people (75.7%). Respondents who gave exclusive breastfeeding amounted to 53 people (71.6%). The results showed that there was no significant relationship between mother's knowledge and exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.374). In addition to knowledge, exclusive breastfeeding can be influenced by several variables, including: occupation, age, habits, and health services. Therefore, information from television, articles and radio can provide knowledge to mothers, but not always be able to change the habits and behavior of mothers.

The purpose of this quasi-experimental research was to study the effects of self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) instruction with explicit generalization training prompted by Constructivist Self-regulating Virtual Composing Activities (CSRVCA) on students’ reported use of self-regulatory strategies, their self-efficacy to write and writing performance. The sample group in this study was 86 high school students who were selected through the use of convenience sampling, then 44 students were assigned to a control group and 42 students were in an experimental group. The students from the experimental group received regular writing classes integrated with constructivist virtual writing instruction, while those from the control group received regular writing classes, required by the school curriculum and syllabus. Instruments included surveys, writing tests, and students’ reflective journals. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and reflective journals to triangulate quantitative results. The results revealed that the students from the experimental group had a significantly higher level of deploying self-regulatory strategies than those in the control group. They also had a higher level of perceived writing self-efficacy than the students in the control group. Although both groups showed improvement in writing scores, the experimental group outperformed the students in the control group in the post and the delayed post-tests.
