Published: February 2022

Background: Diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) strains are a major cause of diarrheal diseases in both developed and developing countries. Healthy asymptomatic animals may be reservoirs of zoonotic DEC, which may enter the food chain via the weak points in hygiene practices.Aim: We investigated the prevalence of DEC along the pig production continuum from farm-to-fork.Methods: A total of 417 samples were collected from specific points along the pig production system, that is, farm, transport, abattoir and food. E. coli was isolated and enumerated using Colilert. Ten isolates from each Quanti-tray were selected randomly and phenotypically identified using eosin methylene blue agar selective media. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to confirm the species and to classify them into the various diarrheagenic pathotypes. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined against a panel of 20 antibiotics using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and EUCAST guideline.Results: The final sample size consisted of 1044 isolates, of which 45.40% (474/1044) were DEC and 73% (762/1044) were multidrug-resistant. Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) was the most predominant DEC at all the sampling sites.Conclusion: The presence of DEC in food animal production environments and food of animal origin could serve as reservoirs for transmitting these bacteria to humans, especially in occupationally exposed workers and via food. Adherence to good hygienic practices along the pig production continuum is essential for mitigating the risk of transmission and infection, and ensuring food safety.

Published: February 2022

Background:

Caring for patients in the hospital can cause a lot of stress for the caregivers, especially those who are involved with informal caregiving such as family members. Little is known in Nigeria on the stress of informal caregiving in the hospital environment. This study assessed the informal caregivers' stress level and their determinants in a tertiary hospital in Ilorin, Nigeria.

Methodology:

This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study. Between September and October 2019, using a simple random sampling method, data were collected from 400 informal caregivers of patients in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital with interviewer-administered questionnaire which included socio-demographic characteristics, Caregivers Strain index (CSI) and caregivers' stress from institution and other factors index (CSIOI). Analysis was performed, and prevalence and determinants of stress of informal caregiving were presented using descriptive statistics and logistic regressions. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:

The majority, 381 (95.2%) of the informal caregivers, reported great stress levels using CSI, while 227 (56.7%) experienced a great level of stress with the CSIOI. Predictors of caregiver stress were perception that staying around was stressful (odds ratio [OR] - 17.5, P < 0.001), felt their patients will not be well cared for if not around (OR - 6.1, P < 0.001), staying at the hospital for >30 days (OR - 2.6, P = 0.001).

Conclusion:

The informal caregivers experienced a great level of stress taking care of their patients on admission in the hospital. It is, therefore, expedient that issues surrounding the comfort of the informal caregivers as they care for their patients should be included in hospital policies.

Authors: Adebayo Arojuraye Soliudeen , Abolaji Alabi Ibrahim , Usman Mustapha Ibrahim
Published: February 2022

Background:

Various surgical options have been described for acute acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) disruption. Dynamic fixation of these fractures is the most favoured option. However, no single modality of treatment has been adjudged to be the best option so far.

Purpose:

The goal of this study was to present the outcome of internal splintage of acute ACJ disruption using polyester suture without clavicle drilling in our setting.

Patients and Methods:

This prospective study was done at the National Orthopedic Hospital, Dala, Kano, on those with acute ACJ injuries between January 2016 and June 2021. Forty five patients (36 males and 9 females) had internal splintage of acute ACJ disruption using polyester-5 suture loops around the coracoid process and clavicle without bone drilling.

Results:

The average age of the patients in this study was 31.51 ± 11.43 years, while the age group with highest frequency was 21–30 years, accounting for 17 (37.8%) of all the patients. The mean pre-operative and post-operative disability (QuickDASH) scores were 80.08 ± 10.75 and 3.23 ± 3.58, respectively. There was a significant difference between pre-operative and post-operative QuickDASH scores with P < 0.001.

Conclusion:

Internal splintage of acute ACJ dislocation using polyester-5 suture loop without bone drilling is effective and safe.

Published: February 2022

Primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an invaluable surgical procedure that has revolutionised the treatment of various end-stage hip pathologies. Aseptic loosening of either acetabular cup and/or femoral stem as well as components' dislocation are well-known post-operative complications due to so many factors: environmental, surgeon, patient related, disease related or implant design. The aim of this literature review is to look at some relevant implant designs that might influence acetabular and femoral components' survival for primary cementless THA using revision for aseptic loosening and dislocation as criteria for failure. This may also assist the surgeon in making an informed choice of using appropriate implants to match the demographic and disease-specific need of the patients undergoing the surgical procedure. This review article was performed using an online literature search on relevant publications.
Finite element error analysis for a system coupling surface evolution to diffusion on the surface
Authors: Deckelnick Klaus , Styles Vanessa
Published: February 2022

We consider a numerical scheme for the approximation of a system that couples the evolution of a two-dimensional hypersurface to a reaction–diffusion equation on the surface. The surfaces are assumed to be graphs and evolve according to forced mean curvature flow. The method uses continuous, piecewise linear finite elements in space and a backward Euler scheme in time. Assuming the existence of a smooth solution, we prove optimal error bounds both in

L^\infty(L^2)

and in

L^2(H^1)

. We present several numerical experiments that confirm our theoretical findings and apply the method in order to simulate diffusion induced grain boundary motion.

Published: February 2022

While autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is expected in non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, it is less common in marginal zone lymphoma. Sixty-year-old male patient was followed up with hemolytic anemia in our clinic and while the etiology was investigated, scattered nodes in the mediastinum and abdomen compatible with lymphoproliferative disease were observed on CT, and positive detection of CD5, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD45, HLA-DR, FMC-7 on flow cytometry sent from peripheral blood and a diagnosis of low grade B cell lymphoma (MZL) was made with the result of bone marrow pathology. We found it appropriate to present our MZL case because of its response to steroid treatment and its rare presentation with AIHA.

—The paper shows the influence of the power supply mode (without – ―M-B‖ and with the separation of electron-hole pairs – ―M-CC‖ generated by irradiation in the built-in electric field of the pn-junction of light-emitting diodes) on the LEDs emission power changing under gamma quanta. LEDs were based on monocrystalline gallium phosphide. The maximum radiation wavelength is at 655 nm. It is shown that the division of electron-hole pairs in the field of a built-in pn-junction makes it possible to significantly increase their stability. The emission power decreasing as a result of irradiation with gamma quanta is described in three stages. The first stage is due to the radiation-stimulated rearrangement of the first initial defect (complex of defects) of the first type. At the second stage, the decrease in power is due to the radiation-stimulated rearrangement of the initial defect (complex of defects) of the second type. In this case, the separation of electron-hole pairs generated during irradiation leads to a significant LEDs hardness increasing to the of gamma quanta action. At the third stage, the emission power decreasing is due to the only radiation defect’s introduction. For each of the identified stages of emission power reducing, empirical relationships, that describe the emission power changing with the radiation dose increasing and damage factors for the irradiation modes are numerically determined. Keywords— Radiation hardness, LEDs, GaP, gamma quanta, emission power

Military Dataset Processing Approaches or Trauma Risk Mitigation in Machine Learning Practitioners
Authors: Breton Mélanie , Lavigne Valérie , Djaffri Malek , Dionne Maxime
Published: February 2022

To develop new computer vision capabilities leveraging artificial intelligence, we will increasingly need to use operationally realistic training and validation datasets. Although operational full motion video and imagery datasets present information regarding their provenance and classification level, these designations are often not indicative of the presence of potentially offensive or traumatizing content. As machine learning and data scientists increasingly need to work with operational unsanitized operational video and imagery data, they will have a higher risk of being exposed to sensitive and traumatic content. In this paper, we first raise awareness about this risk within the Defense community. Then, we propose several approaches for mitigating machine learning practitioner's exposure to offensive and traumatizing media, including dataset preprocessing procedures and viewing tool design considerations.
Data-driven behavioural modelling for military applications
Authors: Schadd Maarten , de Reus Nico , Uilkema Sander , Voogd Jeroen
Published: February 2022

This article investigates the possibilities for creating behavioural models of military decision making in a data-driven manner. As not much data from actual operations is available, and data cannot easily be created in the military context, most approaches use simulators to learn behaviour. A simulator is however not always available or is difficult to create. This study focusses on the creation of behavioural models from data that was collected during a field exercise. As data in general is limited, noisy and erroneous, this makes the creation of realistic models challenging. Besides using the traditional approach of hand-crafting a model based on data, we investigate the emerging research area of imitation learning. One of its techniques, reward engineering, is applied to learn the behaviour of soldiers in an urban warfare operation. Basic, but realistic, soldier behaviour is learned, which lays the groundwork for more elaborate models in the future.

There are so many types of traditional food in Indonesia that have a unique taste and characterize the local culture. However, nowadays many traditional specialties are still unable to compete with modern foods such as Geti Wijen. Some of the things that cause it are promotions that have not been widely used in various media and the appearance of packaging that is less attractive. One of the geti wijen businesses is Geti Mrs. Atmo in Dusun Geneng, Purwosari, Wonogieri District. This business has an unattractive packaging because the packaging process still uses simple tools and materials, namely plastic and wax. Therefore, the team provided a packaging tool assistance program and usage training to improve packaging quality. Implementation methods include planning activities, providing tools, implementing training, and evaluating programs. This program has provided many benefits for Mrs. Atmo in improving the quality of products that are able to compete in the market. Partners have packaging tools and attractive packaging designs so that the packaging process is faster.
Rating the Security Strength of Cryptographic Algorithms
Authors: Marinakis George
Published: February 2022

Abstract

In this study, we propose a method in order to estimate the strength of a cryptographic algorithm. The method combines the evaluation of the cryptographic key length and the evaluation of the success rate of the randomness tests in the algorithm output samples. In the first step, the algorithm is classified into one of four general categories, according to its key size, taking into account the current computer power which a cryptanalyst can use for exhaustive key search. In the second step, we examine the success rate of the tests on the output samples. For this, the maximum accepted number of the rejected samples is calculated, taking as parameters the total number of samples (which depends from the selected sampling error) and the desired significance level and confidence interval for the success rate of the tests. If the rejected samples do not exceed the maximum number, the algorithm is considered as “random” and it is rated in the initial strength category due to its key size. If the rejected samples exceed the maximum number, the algorithm is submitted to further tests under certain conditions.

Leasing or leasing is actually an improvisation ofconventional legal system called leasing. Leasing company business in Indonesia is better known as leasing. Company main activities leasing is engaged in financing for the purposes of capital goods desired by customers.

Motorlu Taşıtlarda Kullanılan Ek Isıtıcıların Egzoz Gazlarındaki Atık Isı Enerjisinin Geri Kazanılması
Authors: TAŞPINAR Emrah , ÖZTÜRK Adnan
Published: February 2022

Bu çalışmada, sulu tipte bir ek ısıtıcı kullanılan sistemde atık egzoz ısısının, susturucu yerine takılan bir eşanjör (ısı değiştirici) ile geri kazanılarak ek ısıtıcı yakıt sarfiyatının düşürülmesi hedeflenmiştir. Eşanjörlü sistemde motorun verimli çalışma sıcaklığına daha hızlı ulaşmasını sağlayarak, motordaki aşınmanın ve aynı zamanda çevreye verilen zararın azaltılması amaçlanmıştır. Farklı soğutucu akışkan sıcaklıklarında susturuculu ve eşanjörlü sistem için yakıt tüketimi, soğutucu akışkanı hedeflenen sıcaklığa ulaştırmak için geçen ısınma süresi, elektrik tüketimleri ve gürültü seviyeleri ölçülerek karşılaştırılmıştır. Bütün sıcaklık değerlerinde eşanjörlü sistemin susturuculu sistemden daha az yakıt tükettiği ve daha kısa zamanda hedef sıcaklığa ulaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Eşanjörlü sistemin susturuculu sisteme göre daha fazla elektrik enerjisi tükettiği, ancak tasarruf edilen yakıtla karşılaştırılamayacak düzeyde düşük bir kayıp olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca sistemde susturucu yerine eşanjör takıldığı için gürültü seviyelerindeki değişim ölçülmüş, eşanjörün susturucudan daha iyi ses yalıtımı sağladığı görülmüştür.
A francia–német tandem és Európa jövője
Authors: Zachar Péter Krisztián
Published: February 2022

A jelen tanulmányban a francia–német együttműködés aktuális fejlődésének néhány mozzanatát igyekszem megvilágítani, különös tekintettel a 2017 óta, azaz Macron elnök és Merkel kancellár időszakában meghirdetett új javaslatokra. A jelenleg formálódó új német kormány ugyanis számos tekintetben már uniós célként határozza meg az aacheni szerződésben foglalt törekvéseket. A két ország viszonyának fejlődését történelmi szempontok alapján többször és mélyrehatóan elemezték. A második világháború befejezése óta, de főleg az elmúlt évtizedekben, a kapcsolataikat mindig a jóakarat, az együttműködés, a kölcsönös megértés és az Európa megújítását célzó kezdeményezés jellemezte. Ezért a viszonyrendszerük és annak az európai politikára gyakorolt hatása a nemzetközi kapcsolatok elméletében is visszhangra talált. A tanulmány igyekszik felvázolni, milyen javaslatokat és milyen motivációk mentén igyekeznek a felek az európai egység érdekében megfogalmazni. Továbbá, hogy mi vezet a föderációs elképzelések erősödése irányába, és miért kerülhet sor a különösen látványos változásra a német gazdaságpolitikai felfogásban, amely a helyreállítási alap létrehozása kapcsán volt tetten érhető. A munka során kiemelten igyekszem bemutatni: a közös fellépés célja mindkét partner pozícióinak a megerősítése, ugyanakkor a közösségen belüli domináns vezető szerep fenntartása.

Software is one of the most important part in today’s world, with its requirements in every industry be it automotive, avionics, telecommunication, banking, pharmaceutical and many more. Software systems are generally a bit complicated and created by distinct programmers. Usually any mistake in the code by a programmer in the developing stage of a software can lead to loopholes that cause Exposure. Exposure is a software flaw that an assaulter can exploit to conduct unlawful activities within a computer system. Despite the understanding of Exposure by the academia and industry, the amount of Exposure is growing exponentially as fresh characteristics are added to the software frequently. Developers and testers are faced with the challenge of fixing large amounts of exposure within limited resources and time. Thus, prioritizing software exposures is essential to reduce the usage of corporate assets and time, which is the motivation behind the present study. In the present paper, the issue of software exposure prioritization is addressed by utilizing a new multi-criterion decision-making (MCDM) technique known as the Best Worst method (BWM). Further, to assess the vulnerabilities in terms of their critical nature, we have applied Two-Way assessment technique. The BWM utilizes two pairwise comparison vectors to determine the weights of criteria. The two- way assessment framework takes into account the perspectives of both managers/developers and stakeholders/testers to highlight the severity of software vulnerabilities. This can act as a significant measure of efficiency and effectiveness for the prioritization and evaluation of vulnerability. The findings are validated with a software testing firm from North India.

This paper discusses the basic teaching principles by examining the development of Arabic teaching methods and systems. Each method has its strengths and weaknesses. Based on this fact, the mixed method implies selection and amalgamation. However, the merger is not meant to combine all existing methods at once but to take advantage of the advantages of certain methods. In this paper, the author discusses mixed methods in learning Arabic.

Knowing this material is especially important for Arabic language teachers or lecturers to streamline the teaching and learning process by using the most suitable methods for various purposes.

The main problem that the author discusses in this paper is the background and basic concepts of the mixed method, the steps for its use, and its advantages and disadvantages.

This paper concludes that the mixed method is a language teaching method that combines several methods. The mixed-method does not have a special form that is completely different from other methods because it is the result of selecting and combining several methods that are considered relevant for learning. The advantages of the mixed method are more varied learning activities and the ability of students to use foreign languages ​​more evenly. The drawback is that using the mixed method will have problems with the willingness of teachers and students and the allocation of time.
