Authors: Dunker Laura Silva , Dalbianco Vinicius Piccin , Gomes Patrick de Souza , Miranda Lucas Biscaglia , Gass Sidnei Luís Bohn
Published: November 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir a correlação entre os tipos de solos e os sistemas de produção em assentamentos rurais, tendo como campo de referência o Núcleo de Assentamentos no município de Sant’Ana do Livramento. Destaca-se neste trabalho que tipo de solo não é um critério para a distribuição dos lotes nos assentamentos de reforma agrária do Brasil e que áreas sob solos distróficos podem interferir negativamente no desenvolvimento dos cultivos.  Através do banco de dados do SIGRA 2016, foram obtidas informações produtivas dos assentamentos que compõem o Núcleo Operacional Sant’ana do Livramento, bem como as coordenadas geográficas dos assentamentos, para elaborar os mapas de localização e dos tipos de solos. Os dados produtivos e número de famílias de três assentamentos selecionados foram atualizados em 2022. A distinção dos solos em assentamentos rurais, predizer seus comportamentos e limitações é uma importante ferramenta para definir o potencial agrícola das áreas. Independente do tipo de solo, os assentamentos apresentaram diversidade no sistema produtivo, porém aspectos negativos ligados ao tipo de solo como exigências em corretivos e adubos pode ser uma inferência para o declínio na produção. Os tipos de solos podem determinar ou limitar os sistemas de produção, definir as áreas dos assentamentos levando em consideração o solo pode ampliar o potencial produtivo das famílias assentadas.

The adoption of cloud computing has revolutionized data storage and processing globally. Nevertheless, the need for a close watch on security is paramount. Hence, the aim of this paper, to develop a cloud security model that detects and prevents the risks of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks in cloud computing systems which are gravely potent and, on the increase, today. This was done using two approaches: analyzing Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) header features of incoming packets in cloud computing environment in order to detect and classify spoofed IP address during DDoS attack via a custom-made Web Application Firewall (WAF); and the integration of the cloud resources with Cloudflare. The result shows that a total of 1,625,192 packets were transmitted in a short period which were captured and analyzed via Wireshark. Several TCP errors were observed over a very short time interval which indicated successful DDoS attack effectively crashing the system. The result varied when the custom-made WAF was put in place, and the attacking lab machine launched a TCP syn flood attack against the web server on port http port 80. A total of 2,353,585 packets were transmitted in a short period which were captured and analyzed using Wireshark and contained less TCP errors indicating successful mitigation of DDoS attacks. When the resources were hosted online and integrated with Cloudflare, integrity checks were successful before the resources were loaded, indicating complete mitigation of attacks. Keywords: Bandwidth, Botnet, Cloudflare, Wireshark and Zombie

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is associated with a variety of side effects, ranging from mild intolerance to lifethreatening side effects. Short-term adverse reactions include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, hypersensitivity reactions, urticarial reactions, erythema multiforme, toxic epidermal necrolysis or Stevens-Johnson syndrome, infection liver toxicity, drowsiness and vivid dreams. Long-term side effects include lipodystrophy, lipoatrophy, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and skin, nail, and hair abnormalities. When starting ART, HIV-infected patients may frequently experience a variety of side effects such as rash, hair loss, hypersensitivity syndrome reactions, urticaria or erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, known as manifested by a short-term course of side effects. A large number of patients have abnormal blood sugar and lipid profiles when using all groups of ARV drugs despite their relatively young age; Hyperlipidemia has been associated with HIV PI use and is more common and more severe than hyperlipidemia in HAART-naïve patients. Dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and lipodystrophy are cardiovascular risk factors in these patients. Hypertension is associated with established risk factors and is common in HIV-infected individuals. However, long-term use of HAART/ARV is necessary to control HIV infection. Keywords: prevalence, adverse drug reaction, HIV, AIDS, HAART

The ever-rising numbers of multidrug resistant, MDR bacteria in healthcare facilities globally has correspondingly led to a rapid escalation in the use of disinfectants, antiseptics or biocides which reached unprecedented levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has also elicited grave apprehension about the development of resistance to disinfectants. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of some regularly used disinfectants in the study population. Five brands of disinfectants were obtained and diluted in sterile 300 ppm calcium carbonatenutrient broth to their respective minimum inhibitory concentrations, MICs to which were exposed broth cultures of MDR organisms for 2 min before sampling onto nutrient agar plates in replicates. Further samples were taken NEWPORT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC AND EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES (NIJSES) Volume 4 Issue 1 2023 ©NIJSES Publications Open Access ONLINE ISSN: 2992-5819 PRINT ISSN: 2992-6149 Onemu et al., 2023 This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited Page | 49 from the mixture at 4, 6, 8, … 30 min intervals. One set of plates were incubated at 37oC and the other at RT for 48 h and 96 h respectively and examined for growth. Sodium hypochlorite, phenol and glutaraldehyde - all proved to be effective with the fastest time kill kinetics at 2.5 min. The longest time kill kinetics were demonstrated by cetrimide and cresol against Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 16 min and 13 min respectively, thus affirming Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the most resistant organism. This study infers of a reassurance in the continued effectiveness of the disinfectants under review in the phase of the ever-soaring tide of MDR organisms in healthcare settings.

Status in Malaria Vaccine Development: Basic aspects of Vaccine, Mechanism of actions, Vaccine pipelines, Stage oriented immune response ‘Challenges and Opportunities’
Authors: Taddese Solomon
Published: November 2023

Malaria is considered as a systemic syndrome caused by infection of the red blood cells by intracellular protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium and is transmitted by the bite of infected and physiologically excited female anopheline mosquito, which feeds on mamamalian blood to produce and mature its eggs. Vaccination is  believed to be one of the most effective approaches to tackle morbidity and mortality  related  malaria and its approach targets the malaria life stage  factors like the pre-erythrocyticproteins (RTSs, ChAd63/MVA, METRAP, PSPZ, PfceITos…), the blood stage proteins (EBA175, AMA1, GMZ1, P27A, MSP3, MSP1, RH5, sexual stage proteins (Pfs25, Pfs48, Pfs230 and Multi-stage /multi-epitope/antigen combination vaccines ((PfCP-2. 9 chimeric (AMA1 and MSP1–19)). Even if the vaccine trials against malaria was began early in 1930s, currently the one most advanced pre-erythrocyticvaccine, RTS, S vaccine has been launched with good safety profile (efficacy of 30-50%). New approaches like combining different types of adjuvants into antigen‐specific formulations improved efficacy of a particular vaccine and its formulations offer a wide spectrum of opportunities in malaria vaccine research. Frequent and multiple infections gradually lead to the development of anti-parasite immunity which results in very low or undetectable parasitemia in malaria-infected individuals. Sterilizing immunity against malarial parasite, though never fully achieved, results in a high degree of immune response, low levels of parasitemia, and an asymptomatic carrier status For unsuccessful trials of malaria vaccine, there are so many challenges that are associated to logistic (high cost-effective public health intervention to control and regulate pathway complicity ), immunologic (polymorphism of the malaria parasite antigens in each life stage, the immune evasion strategy of the parasite… ), and technical challenges related to miss identification of malaria vaccine candidates, selection adjuvants and route of administration. Although there were tackles to malarial vaccine trials, it was reported that there are fine opportunities to proceed on the track.
Impermeability Evaluation Of Concrete With Fly Ash Aggregate And Prediction With Modelling
Authors: Lalitha Gurikini , Reddy Chilukala Ritvik
Published: November 2023

Concrete is the most synthesized material in construction sector which it has aggregate as one of its components. The use of natural aggregate in concrete preparation uses a significant amount of non-renewable resources and energy, having a significant environmental impact. Multiple research projects have been conducted to safeguard natural reserves, seeking a solution to the waste disposal issue, and reduce construction costs by utilizing waste materials. FA(Fly Ash) aggregate is one such material that can be a replacement for natural aggregate. Durability parameters of concrete with Fly Ash (FA) aggregate are studied in this work as an alternative for fine aggregate. In this study, 5 concrete mixes were prepared utilizing FA aggregate in percentage substitution of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% for each. The quantity of cement, compaction, curing rate, concrete cover, and porosity all influence the durability of the concrete. Concrete attributes such as strength in compression, retaliation to abrasion and half-cell potential were investigated. Durability parameters of the specimens were tested after 90-day curing. The results revealed that concrete with 30% FA aggregate had the highest compressive strength, improved resistance towards abrasion and least half cell potential values. Experimentation data were used to develop comprehensive prediction models by applying support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. The SVM model analyses R2 values with an accuracy of over 97%. As a result, we can use SVM to efficiently execute prediction modelling in construction area.

Published: November 2023

The purpose of this work is to present the possibilities of using tacheometric measurement technology in the development of a 3D geometric model of an existing building and the directions of using BIM technology in the process of building operation. General information on the development of BIM technology was presented, and issues related to the construction of 3D models were discussed. Attention was also drawn to the need to update the information assigned to the model on an ongoing basis in order to effectively manage the building. Supplementing the model with metadata regarding the building materials used will allow for a precise and quick analysis of all renovation assumptions. The created 3D model can be used to control the condition of structures or in safety and risk management.
Advanced Trainees in Student-Run Free Clinics: Potential Bridges to Critical Gaps in Knowledge
Authors: Lee David
Published: November 2023

Background: Student-run free clinics (SRFCs) are increasingly becoming multidisciplinary care centers for underserved and uninsured patients across our communities. While SRFCs continue to advance research on various fronts to improve the quality of patient care provided, there remains scant literature on the involvement of resident and fellow physicians, or rather advanced trainees across disciplines in general, in the SRFC setting. As a result, there is a limited understanding of how best to include them and their skillsets within SRFCs and to design opportunities mutually beneficial for both SRFCs and advanced training programs.

Purpose: To initiate a call-to-action for SRFCs to invest resources toward better characterizing the involvement of advanced trainees across SRFCs and the impacts they can potentially impart upon both the SRFC’s educational and patient care experiences.

Summary: There remains limited information available pertaining to the involvement and impact of advanced trainees in SRFCs. As a result, these remain suboptimally-tapped areas of research and SRFCs are well-positioned to potentially bridge critical gaps in knowledge. Potential approaches to this include 1) querying advanced trainees currently involved in SRFCs on their motivations for being involved, 2) encouraging advanced trainees to discuss how other trainees may similarly become involved and to help with securing their participation, and 3) surveying training program leadership at institutions with SRFCs on how mutually beneficial partnerships between SRFCs and training programs might be established. In better characterizing their roles, SRFCs have an opportunity to fuel significant changes in health education and patient care.

Gender Viewpoints In Budgetary Process: Achieving The Gender Equality And Women Empowerment In India
Authors: Devinder Singh Hooda
Published: November 2023

The paper seeks to examine the importance of gender responsive budgeting and its effectiveness on different gender development indicators in India (particularly on female drop-out rate in education, gender parity index, maternal mortality rate, GDI and HDI etc.). The study also assesses the trends of gender responsive budgeting in India from 2005-06 to 2019-20 within the fiscal perspective. The study has classified gender budgeting expenditure into two parts i.e., women-specific allocation (WSA) and pro-women allocation (PWA) as well. The study used a simple linear regression model to examine the effectiveness of gender budgeting on women development. To work out the link between fiscal policy and gender development the bivariate and multivariate regression models have been estimated. Gender budgeting found highly significant in improving girl’s enrolment ratio and in reducing the drop-out rate among of girls students. The study indicates that only 20 per cent of share approximately covers women specific allocation however pro women allocation consist of 80 per cent of share, reflecting a significant share in gender budgeting. This paper concludes that the gender budgeting is highly correlated with the development of female HDI, GDI, female drop-out rate and gender parity index and maternal mortality rate also. The study also indicates that with a robust gender analysis and ensuring a well gender balance in policies the inequalities within gender can be reduced which is further socially and economically appropriate for the nation. The future study on the outcome and impact of gender budgeting should focus on actual allocations, economic impacts, improvement and change in gender performance indicators and supportive among administration and citizens.
Applying centrality analysis on a protein interaction network to predict colorectal cancer driver genes
Authors: Saha Pia , Cerono Gabriel
Published: November 2023

The colorectal cancer tumor microenvironment presents significant genetic heterogeneity with mutations in genes in several signaling pathways. Detecting these driver genes through wet lab experiments is costly and time-consuming. Computational models and bioinformatic tools have become a vital alternative in this effort. One of these novel computational methods, Centrality Analysis, models molecular functions, biological processes and biochemical pathways by creating and analyzing protein-protein interaction networks. Centrality Analysis is an approach to quantify node (in this case, protein) importance in these networks. Essential proteins play critical roles in cell function; therefore, centrality measures serve as a basis to study the relationship between lethality and essentiality by evaluating the topological features of the network. However, there is no established standard to determine the most appropriate centrality measure for analyzing a specific network. The choice of a suitable set is complicated by the impact of network topology because results vary based on network structure, correlation among the selected set of measures, and network data collection methods used. We hypothesized that centrality scores can be used to predict driver genes while statistical and machine learning analyses can identify the relevant centrality features for this task. We proposed different analyses to select a valid set of centrality algorithms to predict driver and non-driver genes. We first recreated a protein-protein interaction network for colorectal cancer featuring known driver and passenger genes, and then compared the centrality scores of eight different algorithms using statistical analysis. We further validated the results by implementing machine learning models. Both analyses identified betweenness and closeness centrality algorithms as most important to predict driver versus non-driver genes.

Published: November 2023

Objectives: Our aim was to enhance patients′ access to health resources. We investigated the effect of patients′ inquiry behaviors on doctors′ responses with online health Q&A platforms. Methods: We obtained data from 6588 medical questions and 69,217
answers from a leading online health Q&A platform in China. We conducted ordinary least squares regression with robust standard errors and a series of robustness checks, including the Poisson model and negative binomial regression, as well as alternative measurement methods. Results:
We found that longer questions can lead to a decrease in response numbers. However, they also can elicit longer responses from doctors. Additionally, a bounty can incentivize more doctors to engage in and provide longer responses. The results also reveal that a patients′ negative emotions
can weaken the impact of question attributes on the response length. Furthermore, for high-severity questions compared to low-severity ones, all the main effects are weakened. Conclusions: When patients post longer questions, this increases response length and decreases answer numbers;
providing more bounty attracts longer and more numerous answers. At the same time, patients with different disease conditions should expect different responses.

A ISENÇÃO DO IMPOSTO PREDIAL E TERRITORIAL URBANO (IPTU) NO MUNICÍPIO DE GUARAÍ: UMA ANÁLISE CRÍTICA DA LEGISLAÇÃO LOCAL
Authors: Luiz Eduardo Londero  , Gabriel Loss  , Ueinstein-Willy Alves Müller
Published: November 2023

Os impostos são uma fundamental fonte de recursos aos Entes Políticos, inclusive aos municípios. Dentre as exações de competência tributária municipal, insere-se o Imposto Predial e Territorial Urbano (IPTU), incidente sobre proprietários ou possuidores de imóveis localizados na zona urbana. Entretanto, em razão de certas situações de vulnerabilidade social ou econômica, podem ser criadas hipóteses de isenção, as quais afastam a obrigação de pagá-los. Ademais, muitos municípios brasileiros possuem legislações obscuras, confusas e falhas que dificultam o exercício desse beneplácito. Assim sendo, a presente pesquisa tem por objetivo geral perquirir, de forma crítica, as mazelas que circundam as hipóteses de isenção do referido imposto estabelecidas pelo município de Guaraí, Estado do Tocantins. Discute-se, dentre outros assuntos pertinentes, a questão dos procedimentos adotados para o requerimento, além da inexistência de informações claras sobre os requisitos de concessão do benefício. Para a construção do trabalho em comento, utilizou-se a metodologia de pesquisas bibliográficas, de cunho qualitativo e dedutivo, realizadas em doutrinas, artigos científicos e legislações atinentes, comparando-se, também, normas de outros municípios. Ao fim do estudo, conclui-se que a referida isenção é de suma essencialidade para os idosos, pessoas com deficiência e acometidos com neoplasia maligna residentes em Guaraí - TO, contudo, é primordial uma modificação/atualização da norma local, com o propósito de facilitar o requerimento e concessão do benefício fiscal aos cidadãos guaraienses, além da necessidade de uma maior divulgação à população.

Does active management work?
Authors: Lin Crystal Y.
Published: November 2023

This study presents considerable evidence that equity sector mutual funds, the nine Fidelity Select Portfolios here, have provided better after-expense returns against broader market ETF, SPY, and their peer sector ETFs, the nine Select Sector SPDR Funds, over the sample period 1999–2010. Not only do they achieve higher nominal returns over the 12 years, except for few sector mutual funds, some of the funds also generate higher risk-adjusted returns measured by Sharpe Ratio and ! from various asset pricing models. More important, none of the sector mutual funds generates a significant negative ! for the sample period no matter that asset pricing model is used. The results suggest that actively managed sector funds be considered by individual investors and/or their financial planners for mutual fund selection.
Financial (il)literacy vs. individual’s behavior
Authors: Barboza Gustavo , Bongini Paola , Rossolini Monica
Published: November 2023

We explore the role that financial (il)literacy and personal traits have on financial behavior. Using a sample of 156 college students from the United States, we provide unique empirical evidence by specifically differen- tiating between individuals with higher levels of financial literacy versus individuals declaring not knowing the answers to financial literacy questions and those answering incorrectly. Thus, we assess the implications of revealed lack of financial knowledge on financial behavior regarding credit card use in comparison with two other cohorts; cohort one answering correctly, and cohort two failing to answer correctly. A novelty of our study is that we contrast these results to the behavioral factors of over spending and surprised levels of spend- ing—proxies for personality traits—when using credit card. Our exploratory empirical findings indicate that among personal-traits considered in this study overspending results in lack of payment in full in credit card debt, and more importantly these effects dominate any gains derived from financial literacy. To this extent fi- nancial literacy appears to only play a marginal role avoiding month-to-month credit card debt. Furthermore, financial knowledge derived from parents has a strong positive effect on individuals’ financial behavior espe- cially for students characterized by a relevant financial illiteracy. The implications of this research support the argumentation that early financial literacy may have the strongest effect in shaping individuals inherent behav- ior patterns; that is, early exposure to financial education is strictly preferred and should be promoted at early stages of the educational system.
Framing the Annuity as Bequest Protection
Authors: Yan Ying , James III Russell N.
Published: November 2023

Bequest motives are commonly cited as a barrier for annuitization. This paper tests how framing partial annuitization as a protection for an intended bequest against the risk of asset exhaustion due to unexpected longevity influences the desire to purchase an annuity among a sample of 2,160 partic- ipants. The results indicate that this framing argument does increase interest in purchasing an annu- ity. Regression results demonstrate that this framing has a larger positive effect for individuals with a greater bequest motive. The relationship between annuitization framing and bequest motive dem- onstrated by this experiment has important practical and theoretical implications.
The effect of racial/ethnic differences on the financial obligations ratio of renters
Authors: Ouyang Congrong , Hanna Sherman D.
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of racial/ethnic status on the ratio of finan- cial obligations payments to income among U.S. renter households. The proportion of homeowner house- holds with a ratio over 40% has decreased since 2007, but the proportion of renter households with a ratio over 40% increased until 2013 and remained high in 2016. In 2016, 13% of homeowner households and 40% of renter households had a ratio over 40%. Previous research on the financial obligations burden used an arbitrary dummy variable for whether households had a high financial obligations ratio, but we used ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions on the natural log of the ratio. For renters, based on the OLS regression, households with Black, Hispanic, and Asian respondents had higher financial obligations ratios than otherwise similar households with a White respondent. Controlling for other variables, Hispanic households had a ratio about 26% higher than White households, Asian households had a ratio 16% higher than White households, and Black households had a ratio 10% higher than White households. While discrimination could be a factor in higher ratios for the groups other than Whites, immigrant status and other factors plausibly are related.
Financial professionals and financial well-being
Authors: Stebbins Richard , Kim Kyoung Tae , Seay Martin
Published: November 2023

This study examined the association between financial professional use and financial well-being using the 2016 National Financial Well-Being Survey. We tested financial well-being across various sources of financial advice such as financial professionals, family, employer, community, financial institution, and government. Results from the logistic regression showed that those who received advice from financial professionals had higher levels of financial well-being than those who did not receive advice from a financial professional. Additional analyses with those who received financial advice from any source also showed that use of a financial professional had a stronger positive asso- ciation with financial well-being. This study provides important insights to help consumers and edu- cators better understand the value of financial professionals.

Drug planning is an activity process of selecting the type, quantity, and price of pharmaceutical supplies according to the needs and budget. An effective planning process is to ensure the availability of drugs so as to avoid drug shortages and excesses. This study aims to determine and evaluate infusion planning at Hospital 'x'. There are 23 items of infusion type at Hospital 'x' in 2020. This research is a non-experimental study using a retrospective method. This research was conducted at the Hospital 'x' Mojokerto. Methods of data collection This study used primary data derived from interviews with the head of the pharmacy installation and secondary data derived from drug planning data and infusion stock-taking reports at Hospital 'x'. Furthermore, the research results are compared with standard indicators. The results showed that the planning indicator was the percentage of the number of drug items held as planned (57%), and the planning indicator was the percentage of the budget (97%). The planning for the realization budget has been efficient but is still not fully effective and needs improvement, especially the drug planning process.
