Xylella fastidiosa, a gram-negative, xylem-inhabiting devastating plant pathogenic bacterium is reported in around 600 host plant species. Xylella fastidiosa is a regulated-quarantine pathogen in the European Union where the confirmation of pathogen-free certification is required in international trade.  At present, Taiwan is the only country in Asia with a long-term presence of this bacterium. Hence there may be a risk of introduction into Sri Lanka through international trade. Therefore, an investigation was conducted from December 2020 to March 2021 to find out the presence of X. fastidiosa in potential hosts in Sri Lanka. A total number of 54 composite samples were obtained from 23 potential host plant species declared in the regulation (EU) 2020/1201 of 14 August 2020 including ornamental plant species from nine districts where most of the export nurseries are scattered. These were tested for the presence of X. fastidiosa by PCR using specific primers targeting the conserved genomic region of the RNA polymerase sigma factor of the rpoD gene of 733 bp. The positive DNA was sourced from the French collection of Plant Associated Bacteria, CIRM-CFBP for comparison. All local samples were found to be free from X. fastidiosa. These preliminary investigation results are considered as an encouraging indication, considering that X. fastidiosa was not found in Sri Lanka, at least in the surveyed areas. However, frequent studies are needed to be conducted to monitor the pathogen invasion.
Darier’s disease presenting with otitis externa
Authors: Swain Santosh Kumar
Published: July 2022

Darier’s disease is an uncommon genetic disorder that causes dermatological manifestations such as crusted papules at seborrhoeic sites of the head, neck and trunk. Acantholysis and dyskeratosis are the characteristic histopathological picture. Darier’s disease is a genetically inherited disease that occurs with haploinsufficiency. Chronic otitis externa along with recurrent dermatological lesions should be investigated to rule out Darier’s disease, which will be helpful to provide appropriate treatment. We report the occurrence of Darier’s disease manifesting severe otitis externa in a 62-year-old male patient who presented with recurrent bilateral otitis externa with scaly and greasy lesions on the external auditory canal and pinna and was diagnosed to have bilateral otitis externa. At the age of 30 years, he was diagnosed with Darier’s disease on the basis of skin biopsy. This recurrent otitis externa with Darier’s disease should be known to the clinician for early diagnosis and prompt treatment.

Authors: Banoth Padmini Priya , Badur Manohar , Priyadarshini Bhavana , Cheni Maruthi Aruna
Published: July 2022

Background:

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause for morbidity and mortality among children with Down's syndrome.

Methods:

This hospital-based descriptive study was conducted on 50 children with Down's syndrome aged <18 years presenting to the department of paediatric medicine at our tertiary care teaching hospital at Tirupati. The prevalence, pattern of congenital heart defects and various factors which are likely to influence the expression of CHD in Down's syndrome are reported.

Results:

We observed CHD in 27/50 (54%) of patients studied. Ventricular septal defect (n = 40.7%) was s the most common, followed by endocardial cushion defects (n= 29.7%); atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus and tetralogy of Fallot. CHD were more commonly seen in male children (58.6%); karyotyping showed translocation in 30/50 (60%) study subjects. Advanced maternal, paternal age, increased birth order and consanguinity showed a positive association with the occurrence of CHD in children with Down's syndrome.

Conclusions:

Our observations suggest that routine screening of children with Down's syndrome for cardiac anomalies will help in early diagnosis and early institution of specific treatment.

Published: July 2022

Background:

Viral encephalitis and glioblastomas can have a very variable clinical and radiological presentation. Although they are both relatively rare, they are known to mimic each other.

Methods:

In this study, we retrospectively analysed the radiology databank from 2010 to 2020 to find cases which were initially suspected to be viral encephalitis based on their imaging and clinical parameters but were later diagnosed with glioblastomas on final histopathology. The initial imaging at the time of presentation was reviewed by three radiologists having experience of 18, 15 and 6 years in neuroimaging, and the follow-up imaging data were also reviewed by the same set of radiologists, and the results were recorded. Age- and sex-matched controls of confirmed viral encephalitis were also extracted from the same database.

Results:

We found three such cases which were initially diagnosed with viral encephalitis but rapidly progressed to glioblastoma in the region of suspected encephalitis. The average age of these patients was 60 years and all of them were males. All these cases had a very short history and the cerebrospinal fluid examination of all of these patients had tested negative for herpes simplex virus at the time of initial presentation.

Conclusions:

The development of glioma exactly at the site of initial encephalitic abnormality suggests an association between these two entities, which needs further prospective studies for validation and correlation with post-mortem histopathology. Furthermore, the fact that these glioma patients showed initial clinical improvement with antiviral drugs suggests a strong point towards such an association.

Published: July 2022

Background:

There is the scarcity of population-based studies on knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) about COVID-19 in Tamil Nadu and no literature on the rural-urban differences in KAP about COVID-19 in Tamil Nadu.

Aims and Objectives:

The study was conducted with the primary objective of estimating KAP regarding SARS-COV2 virus in Tamil Nadu and secondary objectives of determining the rural-urban differences in KAP and identifying the association between KAP and certain sociodemographic factors.

Materials and Methods:

An analytical cross-sectional study was done on 305 participants selected from the rural and urban population of Tamil Nadu. Urban data were collected using Google Forms through social media and the rural population data were collected through simple random sampling from three villages in the outskirts of Chennai District. The study tool had ten items to evaluate the knowledge, three items to evaluate the attitude and four items to evaluate the practice regarding COVID-19.

Results:

The overall KAP scores had a mean of 7.88 out of 10 (78.8%) for correct knowledge, 2.51 out of 3 (83.5%) for positive attitude, and 3.68 out of 4 (92%) for good practice. The knowledge score was slightly higher in the urban region, but the mean practice score (P ≤ 0.001) and attitude score (P < 0.001) were significantly more among the rural population. There was a statistically significant association between higher knowledge score and educational status (P = 0.0000001), male gender and better attitude (P = 0.0052) and higher age (>40 years) and better practice (P = 0.014).

Conclusions:

The study revealed reasonably good levels of KAP in regard to COVID-19 in Tamil Nadu in both the urban and rural populations.

This paper studies the water quality degradation of Sat river - the section flowing through Hai Duong province and waste sources pollute Sat river water. Five surveyed locations along Sat River were identified, and water samples were taken for five consecutive years from 2016 to 2020. Water samples were analyzed in the laboratory with the criteria and methods regulated by QCVN 08:2015/BTNMT. The analyzed results showed that the Sat river water had five parameters frequently exceeding the B1 limit value of QCVN 08 - MT: 2015 BTNMT consisting of DO, NH4+, PO43 -, COD, and BOD5. Two main causes of Sat river pollution conclude of pollutants available in the river upstream and from many sources of domestic wastewater, industrial wastewater, and agricultural wastewater in Hai Duong province without proper treatment. To improve the water quality of Sat river, the collection and treatment of wastes at the source must be thoroughly treated with reasonable waste management.

Published: July 2022

Activated carbons (ACs) are well known as the most commonly used adsorbent in water and wastewater treatment. They have many advantage characteristics such as high surface area, large pores and diverse surface functional groups with the high stability of chemical, mechanical and thermal. The aims of this study are to fabricate and evaluate the ability to remove the azo dye Chrysoidine Y in the water of three activated carbon materials from bamboo leaves, including AC30 (6500C/30 minutes); AC45 (6500C/45 minutes) and AC60 (6500C/60 minutes). The material characteristics determined by SEM, EDX, FTIR and BET methods, etc. showed that all three samples had high C content (over 72%) and appeared functional groups with the capacity of removing azo dye as C = C; C - O - C, O - H. The FTIR results indicated that three samples have adsorption spectra from 400÷4000 cm-1 with characteristic bonds such as C = O, O - H, C - C, C = C. When 20 ml of a solution containing 0.25; 0.5; 1 and 2 g of AC30, AC45 and AC60 materials were added the azo dye volume varied from 2, 3, 4 and 5 ml of Chrysoidine Y, the lowest and highest adsorption capacity were recorded of 133.64 and 361.2 mg/g, respectively. With the highest BET surface area up to 108,9202 m2/g, the AC60 material sample achieved a maximum efficiency of 100% at a reaction time of 30 minutes with a Chysoidine dye/distilled water volume ratio of 2/18 (ml), pH 9, adsorbent content of 0.25 g. The results also showed that the activated carbon from bamboo leaves is a potential sorbent material in removing the azo dye in water.

Recent Record of Oceania armata and Near-Past Records of Other Gelatinous Organisms in the Turkish Waters Presumably Derived by Basin-Scale Current
Authors: MUTLU Erhan , ÖZVAROL Yaşar
Published: July 2022

The present study reports the occurrence of Oceania armata in the Turkish Levantine Sea, and presents evidence to support a hypothesis established to link an increased recent and near-past records of many gelatinous zooplankton species in the Turkish seas, and particularly in the Turkish Levantine Sea to specific Mediterranean basin-scale currents (Atlantic-Ionian Stream and the Mid-Ionian Jet). One worldwide-distributed oceanic cnidarian specimen was collected from the surface water of a location of 36.59002 N and 29.02471 E by a SCUBA diver on January 18, 2019 in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The hydrozoan specimen was then identified as O. armata and recorded for the first time in the Turkish Mediterranean coast and only second time in the Levant coast after about 30 years. This is the second report of the species from the Turkish waters, and the first report was from the Turkish Aegean coast. Recently, new records of the gelatinous species have increased from the Turkish marine coasts; Sea of Marmara, Aegean Sea, and Levantine Sea. Most of them are distributed in the West Mediterranean Sea, but are also present in the Adriatic Sea (East Mediterranean Sea). In the Mediterranean Sea, one branch of the Atlantic current (Atlantic-Ionian Stream) enters the eastern basin via the Mid-Ionian Jet, linked with the southern Adriatic current. Therefore, it is possible that zooplankton could have entered East Mediterranean by the Atlantic current through West Mediterranean.

Authors: Mohak Bhalla  , Simran Gawri  , Chirag Goya  , Monica Bhutani
Published: July 2022

Electric Vehicle Accident Alert System is a Machine Learning Integrated, IoT based real-time alerting system, operating on ESP8266 microcontroller. Our designed system acts as an alerting system in its truest sense. It uses KNN classification algorithm to analyse the GPS location of the vehicle and generate a prediction indicating whether the vehicle is in an accident-prone area or not. And, if the accident occurs, the Electric Vehicle Accident Alert System sends a SOS alert message with a link to google maps (for directions), to the emergency contact saved in the system. The whole system is based on a plug n play concept, i.e., the system would be ready to use once powered up. To
provide this agility and flexibility, we have designed a registration web portal for the device which registers the user and their device with a unique UID on the Cloud. After successful registration, the system becomes ready and can be simply fitted inside a vehicle to be used. Moreover,the ML algorithm saves those GPS coordinates in its dataset to further improve the accuracy of the prediction. The whole IoT stack integrated with ML algorithm, Web Portal and a Cloud server (implemented on Google Firebase), makes our project a self-improving, agile and a user-friendly system.
Arab Health Promoters’ Perspectives on Religious/Cultural Challenges to Adopt Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours among Arab Immigrants in Canada
Authors: Baharoon Hussein , King Judy
Published: July 2022

Despite the importance of faith and cultural background in Arab immigrants’ lives, little is known about their role in preventing cardiovascular diseases. To understand the challenges among Arab immigrants related to acculturation and religiosity in adopting healthy lifestyle behaviours and managing stress, we conducted three face-to-face focus groups with 17 Arab health promoters who were members of the Canadian Arab Health Coalition. Averaging 80 minutes in length, the focus groups were conducted in Ottawa, Canada, in February and March 2018. Data were analyzed with an inductive thematic analysis approach; we identified four themes: “Culture first!”: dominant influence of home country culture; “Religiosity alone does not make you healthy!”: limited religious influence; “It is not easy!”: difficulties adapting to the Canadian lifestyle; and “We are not young!”: generational differences in adopting a healthy lifestyle. In brief, we found that some religious or cultural beliefs may be barriers to practicing physical activity, especially for women and older people. These barriers may be augmented with acculturative stress. Religiosity may also play an important indirect role in managing stress through socialization, family support, and the adoption of coping strategies. Younger people in Arabic communities appear to be more flexible in dealing with these religious/cultural issues.

The primary goal of this research study was to qualitatively analyze perceptions of forgiveness and its meaning and application in counseling and therapy. The subgoals were to analyze psychological work with forgiveness in Slovak psychology practice, analyze the factors behind and consequences of forgiveness for clients and psychologists’ perceptions of their ability to forgive. The research sample consisted of 82 psychologists (71 women and 11 men) who had at least six months experience of working with adult clients. Participant age ranged from 24 to 67 years (M = 39.0 years; SD = 12.0) and number of years of psychological practice ranged from six months to 42 years (M = 13.2 years; SD = 12.2). Data were collected through questionnaires containing open-ended questions. We used Modified Consensual Qualitative Research (Spangler et al., 2012) to analyze the data obtained. Ten domains were created in the data analysis. Psychologists perceived forgiveness to be an intrapersonal process and an important part of counseling and therapy. Participants mainly stressed the cognitive qualities of forgiving, such as accepting and understanding the other person and the situation. The results show that working with forgiveness is widely applicable to relational and personal problems. The role of the psychologist in this process is to accompany, help, and support the client on their forgiveness journey, which ultimately leads to positive consequences, including improved mental and physical health, better relationships, relief, higher self-esteem, and self-acceptance.

The construction of transportation facilities on soft soil will cause problems where the bearing capacity of soft soil is low and the process of land subsidence will require a long period of time. As is known, the land subsidence factor causes many problems in the process of building transportation facilities, besides that, there will also be problems at the level of service (serviceability). Therefore, this problem must be anticipated before the transportation facility begins to function. There are many methods that can be done. Where in the selection of methods, the efficiency and effectiveness factors are very dominant. One method that can be done is to fill the soil combined with vertical drain and horizontal drain. This method was chosen to be one of the most widely used methods because it is easy to do and quite efficient. The purpose of writing this thesis is to analyze thereduction of settlement each layer of soft soil that is repaired using the soil filling method combined with prefabricated vertical drain and prefabricated horizontal drain using the PLAXIS 3D program. The results of this calculation will then be compared with observations made in the field using a settlement plate for later analysis. Calculation of the size of the consolidation settlement using the Terzaghi 1 dimension consolidation method obtained a decrease of 16.09 cm. This result is relatively close to the results of observations made in the field of 16.3 cm. In the PLAXIS 3D modeling approach using 1 PVD line and 1 PHD line, the result is a decrease of 16.52 cm without taking into account the effect of the smear zone and 16.22 cm taking into account the effect of the smear zone.

The purpose of this study was to describe the answer process made by students in solving spatial ability questions through the Visualization Auditory Kinesthetic (VAK) learning model in the Covid-19 era. This type of research was conducted using a qualitative case study method on students' spatial abilities. The sample in this study was seventh-grade junior high school students from the purposive sampling technique and was taken by the initial screening results. The instruments used in data collection are observation and documentation. The results of this study indicate that spatial abilities through the Visualization Auditory Kinesthetic (VAK) learning model students can better understand the material because this model is better able to understand the material with their respective learning styles. The spatial ability consists of orientation, mental rotation, visualization, perception, relation, and disembedding. It turned out that many students answered correctly with a complete answer process on aspects of orientation, visualization, and perception. The rest on aspects of mental rotation, relation, and disembedding, there are still some students who have not answered correctly, and the answer process is complete. Therefore, it should be noted that aspects that cannot be answered correctly need improvements in the learning process or in questions that support aspects of mental rotation, relation, and disembedding spatial abilities to understand the geometry material better

Hemangioma in the uterine cevix is a rare case, especially during pregnancy. Hemangioma is a benign tumor, but it can cause complication namely antepartum bleeding, preterm labour, and severe, life threatening complication such as disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Histopathology examination is needed to diagnose hemangioma, and to differentiate this disease with other pathological condition. Conservative therapy was chosen as the main option rather than surgical therapy. The case report explain about 2 cases with cervical hemangioma in the uterine in 2 pregnant women. In the case 1 we presented a 27 years old primigravida, 29th weeks gestational age, with antepartum bleeding. A cervical biopsy was done and the histopathological examination reveal a capillary hemangioma within the uterine cervix. The patient was followed up with medications, and a caesarean section was planned to deliver the baby. In the case 2, a 30 years old multigravida with complained of  postpartum bleeding. The clinical manifestation of cervical hemanioma in pregnancy was similar with other pathological condition, such as cervical cancer. A better understanding in pathogenesis and histopathological examination is important to differentiate hemangioma and other pathological condition in uterine cervix. Therapeutic modality was still debated, because of the limitation of literature about hemangioma cervix, especially in pregnant women

The process of receiving zakat is very sensitive because zakat receipts are included in the category of financial management that needs to be accounted for in reporting. DKM Baiturrahman Mosque is one of the institutions that carry out the process of receiving zakat, where the process of receiving zakat is carried out and managed using a manual or conventional system, reporting recapitulation still uses the manual method so that data recording still has several weaknesses such as vulnerability to data loss, data search that takes time quite a long time and poor data accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to build an information system for zakat management by using a good information technology. This application is called SIPEZAK (Sistem Informasi Pengelolaan Zakat). The development of this website-based zakat management application is built using the waterfall model approach. With this information system, it is hoped that it will help the process of receiving zakat, distributing and reporting zakat funds to be more effective and efficient

In Tegal Regency, a village is well known for its beautiful beaches and never empty of visitors during holidays. The village is Munjungagung Village. In addition to the village which is never deserted, there is also a Fishing and Diving Spot, this can be a potential for marine ecotourism and has a great opportunity to continue to be developed into mainstay tourism, and it is hoped that this potential can improve the welfare of the community. This study aims to analyze the suitability of coastal tourism from the Coastal Village, which was developed based on the potential for marine tourism in Munjungagung Village, Tegal Regency, Central Java Province. The method or technique chosen is the descriptive method. This research has been carried out from April to November 2021 to determine the potential for marine tourism to the tourism suitability index (IKW). The data were analyzed using the formula for calculating the Tourism Suitability Index (IKW). This study showed that the tourist sites in the research area were still suitable for beach tourism activities, snorkeling, and diving. The suitability class for beach tourism and snorkeling and diving has an IKW value of 94.05% and is included in the S1 category (Very Suitable).

The role of private universities in improving quality must accommodate all aspects of the performance of the tri dharma of higher education. The rapid development of higher education institutions must be ready to change. Changes in the global business environment also trigger the increasing intensity of competition between higher education service providers so that each higher education service provider will try to offer high-performance higher education services. This research aims to see how far the implementation of BSC is in improving the performance of private universities. Specifically, this study describes four perspectives, including (1) financial perspective, (2) customer perspective, (3) internal business process perspective (4) learning and growth perspective. They were using the theory of Robert Kaplan and David Norton. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach and data collection by conducting observations, interviews, and documentation studies. The research results indicate that the BSC implementation has been applied in a systematic, measurable, and planned manner so that the Vision, Mission, and objectives are achieved.

Аддитивные технологии в настоящее время активно внедряются на предприятиях судостроительной отрасли. После успешной апробации технологий моделирования методом наплавления (fused deposition modeling, FDM), стереолитографии (stereolithography, SLA), многоструйного моделирования (multi jet modeling, MJM) в части прототипирования и производства полимерных изделий общий вектор развития стремится к освоению технологий металлической печати заготовок и готовых деталей. Работы в этом направлении ведутся на ряде предприятий, и наибольшей популярностью в данном аспекте пользуются технологии селективного лазерного плавления (selective laser melting, SLM), дуговой сварки для сплавления металлической проволоки (wire arc additive manufacturing, WAAM) и высокоскоростного прямого лазерного выращивания (high-speed direct laser deposition, HSDLD). На текущий момент интерес ряда судостроительных компаний вызывает возможность производства заготовок деталей по чертежам отливок с применением технологии SLM. Однако стоит отметить, что в литературных источниках приводятся противоречивые данные о свойствах получаемых образцов, в частности в вопросах наличия анизотропии прочностных характеристик и соответствия геометрических отклонений имеющимся стандартам. Интересно в этом плане производство изделий сложной геометрии из нержавеющих сталей, что может быть использовано при изготовлении рычагов, вилок, корпусов спецоборудования, а также суперкавитирующих винтов и элементов консолей подводных крыльев для маломерных судов. В данной работе описываются физико-механические характеристики и геометрические отклонения образцов, полученных по технологии SLM на установке Laser Cusing M2 из нержавеющей стали 316L. Даются конкретные представления об анизотропии прочностных свойств и соответствии геометрии образцов требованиям к выпускаемой продукции. Пред-ставленные материалы могут служить отправной точкой для проведения проч-ностных расчетов изделий с учетом специфики аддитивных технологий и, в част-ности, SLM-процесса.

Применение в рыбоводных хозяйствах интенсификационных мероприятий для повышения их рыбопродуктивности (кормление рыбы, удобрение прудов, повышенные плотности посадки) приводит к возникновению инфекционных болезней рыб. Учебно-опытное хозяйство КГТУ – полносистемное, имеющее в своем составе нерестовые, выростные, нагульные пруды. В нем выращивают товарного карпа. На его территории также осуществляется любительская ры-балка. Наиболее часто в изучаемом нами прудовом хозяйстве мы регистрируем болезни бактериальной природы. Материалом для исследования послужили кар-пы разного возраста. Первичный бактериологический посев проводили по обще-принятой в ихтиопатологии методике. Микроорганизмы идентифицировали до рода и вида по совокупности культуральных, морфологических и физиолого-биохимических признаков с помощью определителя бактерий Берджи. Патоген-ность микробов выявляли на основании протеолитической активности. Изучен видовой состав микрофлоры карпа учебно-опытного хозяйства Калининградского государственного технического университета в период с 2018 по 2020 гг. В ре-зультате микробиологического анализа были выявлены группы санитарно-показательных, сапрофитных и условно-патогенных микроорганизмов. Выделе-ние из крови и паренхиматозных органов бактерий родов Pseudomonas и Aeromonas, которые могут служить вирулентными агентами, свидетельствует о возможности возникновения инфекционного процесса у карпа при нарушении технологии выращивания. Инфекции бактериальной природы в прудовом хозяй-стве могут вызвать значительный экономический ущерб, а лечение очень дорого-стоящее. Условно-патогенные бактерии, обсеменяющие выращиваемого карпа в прудовом хозяйстве, при ослаблении резистентности рыбы и в стрессовых усло-виях становятся вирулентными и провоцируют начало эпизоотического процесса. Бактериальные эпизоотии развиваются очень быстро и могут вызвать гибель все-го стада рыб в прудовом хозяйстве, поэтому любое заболевание лучше предупредить, чем лечить. Но для разработки профилактических мероприятий нужно по-стоянно проводить мониторинг возбудителей различных бактериальных заболеваний в прудовом хозяйстве.
