Laguna La Tigra. Un sitio de cazadores-recolectores del Holoceno tardío en el área de Valles Transversales (Provincia de la Pampa)
Authors: Paez Florencia Natalin
Published: July 2021

Se presentan los resultados obtenidos a partir del análisis de diferentes evidencias arqueológicas recuperadas en el sitio Laguna La Tigra. Este sitio se ubica en la cabecera del valle Hucal, a ca. 30 km al sur-sudoeste de la localidad de Guatraché, departamento de Hucal, provincia de La Pampa. Se trata de una laguna con alto contenido de sulfato, rodeada por una barranca en constante erosión debido a los cambios en el nivel de agua. La Tigra es parte de un conjunto de sitios arqueológicos ubicados en el área de Valles Transversales, con escasos antecedentes y de gran potencial para la investigación arqueológica. El material arqueológico fue recuperado superficialmente en seis sectores: cuatro playones localizados en la costa norte, un sector denominado La Isla y otro Playa. En base a la datación de restos humanos allí recuperados, se ubica cronológicamente en el Holoceno Tardío final, al igual que otros sitios identificados dentro del área. Se hallaron también, artefactos líticos, fragmentos cerámicos, material faunístico, una cuenta vítrea y un fragmento de olla de fundición, cuyos análisis son el objetivo principal de esta publicación. Las diferentes evidencias culturales recuperadas, sumadas al fechado obtenido, permiten interpretar este ambiente lagunar, como un espacio con diversas historias ocupacionales desde por lo menos ca. 600 años AP hasta tiempos históricos. Los resultados serán discutidos e integrados en relación a la información disponible para la Región.
Estudio tecno-morfológico de palas y/o azadas líticas del sector norte del valle de Hualfín (Catamarca, Argentina)
Authors: Bentivenga Emiliano , Lynch Julieta , Lynch Virginia
Published: July 2021

La presencia de palas y/o azadas líticas fue registrada en distintas regiones del Noroeste Argentino y comúnmente relacionada con el trabajo agrícola en contextos de ocupaciones formativas y tardías. Sin embargo, estos artefactos no han sido reportados para el Valle de Hualfín (Catamarca, Argentina) hasta el momento. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es analizar, desde una perspectiva tecno-morfológica, las palas y/o azadas procedentes del sitio Villavil 1, al norte del valle. Para este análisis se seleccionaron ciertas variables tecno-morfológicas y se compararon con los datos disponibles en la región. El estudio desarrollado identificó un gran esfuerzo en la producción de estos artefactos, lo que permitió caracterizar una estrategia tecnológica más conservativa, así como señalar la importancia de la actividad agrícola para las sociedades formativas y tardías que habitaron la región.

Minimization of Boolean functions in the class of orthogonal disjunctive normal forms
Authors: Pottosin Yu. V.
Published: July 2021

The orthogonal disjunctive normal forms (DNFs) of Boolean functions have wide applications in the logical design of discrete devices. The problem of DNF orthogonalization is to get for a given function such a DNF that any two its terms would be orthogonal, i. e. the conjunction of them would be equal identically to zero. An approach to solve the problem using the means of graph theory is suggested. The approach is proposed by representation of the function as perfect DNF. Obtaining all the intervals of the Boolean space where the given function has value 1 is supposed, and the intersection graph of those intervals is considered. Two methods to obtain a minimum orthogonal DNF are considered. One of them reduces the problem toward finding out the smallest dominating set in the graph by covering its vertices with their closed neighborhoods, the other - to obtain the maximum independent set by lexicographic enumeration. It is shown how the suggested approach can be extended on incompletely specified Boolean functions.
PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND CORRUPTION: EFFECT ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICA
Authors: Olayinka Olaniyi Felix
Published: July 2021

Pre-colonial communities occupying the space now known as Africa reflected “paradise on earth” having men of integrity, selfless, with focus on community development. The bonding of man with land and the invocation of land-based – spiritual powers allowed for easy enforcement of good morals and conduct in communities. The partitioning of Africa, with the break of the existing social-cultural bonding and the consolidation under colonisation of communities in Africa made communal bonding un-sustainable. The African ubuntu concept gave way, turning an average African a potential drain on his community under a “winner takes all” syndrome, just as he grabs property indiscriminately. The western legal systems introduce private property ownership, but the legal systems in practice record huge breaches of the rule of law, truncation of justice and development. The paper precisely investigates whether development in Africa can be attained based on legal systems foreign to Africa, rather than through indigenous legal tradition.

Digital transformation of interdepartmental interaction as a tool for improving state project management
Authors: Пумбрасова Natalya V. , Upadysheva Elena V.
Published: July 2021

The article considers project management in state and municipal management, and notes the limitations of its application at the regional and municipal levels. Most municipalities have formed municipal project offices, but the work is carried out exclusively within the framework of the implementation of national projects and is more formal than practical. There is a complexity of perception of new approaches in management. Despite the active widespread introduction of digitalization in municipalities in recent years, there has been a tendency to increase the information closeness of government bodies and departmental structures from each other. The existing system of interdepartmental electronic interaction is currently focused mainly on obtaining the necessary information by the authorities in order to provide individuals and legal entities with state and municipal services. In the field of state and municipal project management, there is a certain information vacuum that prevents various project management participants from effectively performing their functions in the project implementation process. As a solution to this problem, it is proposed to lay the basis for improving the project management system a single digital platform for interdepartmental electronic interaction, combining information about both citizens on the basis of the portal of state and municipal services, and about economic entities (legal entities and individual entrepreneurs), as well as real estate objects accumulated on the basis of the portal of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, which will allow state authorities and local governments to receive complete information, necessary for the correct management decision - making, including in the field of project management.

A cultura da soja (Glycine max) tem diversificado cada vez mais em relação ao padrão de planta (porte físico). Sendo assim devemos prevenir nas medidas de controle das doenças ocorrentes. Esse trabalho tem ênfase na doença Mancha Alvo, causada pelo fungo Corynespora casiicola, que pode causar perdas significativas na cultura. Utilizou-se a cultivar CD 2728, a qual é suscetível a esse patógeno, com 6 tratamentos: T1 – Testemunha, T2 - Bixafen + Protioconazol + Trifloxistrobina, T3 - Fluxapiroxade + Protioconazol, T4 - Azoxistrobina + Tebuconazol + Mancozebe, T5 - Azoxistrobina + Protioconazol + Mancozebe e T6 – Protioconazol + Fluindapyr. O controle químico de doenças de plantas é na maioria das situações a medida mais eficiente e viável economicamente para garantir uma alta produtividade, não esquecendo que às condições climáticas para realização do trabalho deve ser favorável para a doença. Desta forma o presente trabalho utilizou os mesmos fungicidas para cada tratamento em todas as aplicações, com objetivo de avaliar a eficácia deles no controle de Mancha Alvo. Outro fator importante que devemos salientar é a necessidade de rotação dos grupos químicos, ingredientes ativos, além da utilização de multissítios dentro dos programas de aplicações.

Thermophysical Modeling of 20 Themis Family Asteroids with WISE/NEOWISE Observations
Authors: Jiang Haoxuan , Ji Jianghui
Published: July 2021

Themis family is one of the largest and oldest asteroid populations in the main belt. Water ice may widely exist on the parent body (24) Themis. In this work, we employ the Advanced Thermophysical Model as well as midinfrared measurements from NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer to explore thermal parameters of 20 Themis family members. Here we show that the average thermal inertia and geometric albedo are 39.5 ± 26.0 J m−2 s−1/2 K−1 and 0.067 ± 0.018, respectively. The family members have a relatively moderate roughness fraction on their surfaces. We find that the relatively low albedos of Themis members are consistent with the typical values of B-type and C-type asteroids. As mentioned, the Themis family bears a very low thermal inertia, which indicates a fine and mature regolith on their surfaces. The resemblance of thermal inertia and geometric albedo of Themis members may reveal their close connection in origin and evolution. In addition, we present the compared results of thermal parameters for several prominent families.
Transport of Protostellar Cosmic Rays in Turbulent Dense Cores
Authors: Fitz Axen Margot , Offner Stella S. S. , Gaches Brandt A. L. , Fryer Chris L. , Hungerford Aimee , Silsbee Kedron
Published: July 2021

Recent studies have suggested that low-energy cosmic rays (CRs) may be accelerated inside molecular clouds by the shocks associated with star formation. We use a Monte Carlo transport code to model the propagation of CRs accelerated by protostellar accretion shocks through protostellar cores. We calculate the CR attenuation and energy losses and compute the resulting flux and ionization rate as a function of both radial distance from the protostar and angular position. We show that protostellar cores have nonuniform CR fluxes that produce a broad range of CR ionization rates, with the maximum value being up to two orders of magnitude higher than the radial average at a given distance. In particular, the CR flux is focused in the direction of the outflow cavity, creating a “flashlight” effect and allowing CRs to leak out of the core. The radially averaged ionization rates are less than the measured value for the Milky Way of ζ ≈ 10−16 s−1; however, within r ≈ 0.03 pc from the protostar, the maximum ionization rates exceed this value. We show that variation in the protostellar parameters, particularly in the accretion rate, may produce ionization rates that are a couple of orders of magnitude higher or lower than our fiducial values. Finally, we use a statistical method to model unresolved subgrid magnetic turbulence in the core. We show that turbulence modifies the CR spectrum and increases the uniformity of the CR distribution but does not significantly affect the resulting ionization rates.
Direct Evidence for Magnetic Reflection of Heavy Ions from High Mach Number Collisionless Shocks

Published: July 2021

Strong shocks in collisionless plasmas, such as supernovae shocks and shocks driven by coronal mass ejections, are known to be a primary source of energetic particles. Due to their different mass per charge ratio, the interaction of heavy ions with the shock layer differs from that of protons, and injection of these ions into acceleration processes is a challenge. Here we show the first direct observational evidence of magnetic reflection of alpha particles from a high Mach number quasi-perpendicular shock using in situ spacecraft measurements. The intense magnetic amplification at the shock front associated with nonstationarity modulates the trajectory of alpha particles, some of which travel back upstream as they gyrate in the enhanced magnetic field and experience further acceleration in the upstream region. Our results in particular highlight the important role of high magnetic amplification in seeding heavy ions into the energization processes at nonstationary reforming shocks.

Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 outbreaks occurring in many countries around the world have had a significant impact on emergency medical services (EMS) in terms of the number of operations and procedures performed, including those on ambulances. However, the number of EMS amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Khon Kaen, Thailand has not been well studied.
AIM: The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the relationship between the use of EMS and the outbreak of COVID-19.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was done in Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen, Thailand with a single EMS centered. Data was collected between March 27, 2021 and April 9, 2021 and designated as (Day-7 to Day 7 of pandemic services) as well as normal services which collected data between March 27 and April 9, 2019 (Day-7 to Day 7 of normal services).
RESULTS: Three hundred eight EMS operations were examined. A total of 77.9% (n = 95) of pandemic services were for males and the mean age of the patients was 32.1 ± 5.4 years. During the normal services in 2019, the average number of EMS operations was 13.3 ± 2.4 times per day over the two weeks of the study. In 2021, before the outbreak (Day-7 to Day 1), the average number of EMS operations was 13.2 ± 1.8 times/day. After Day 1, there was a drop in the number of EMS operations which was associated with an increase in COVID-19 infections (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: The number of EMS users during the COVID-19 outbreak decreased considerably compared to the pre-epidemic levels and normal service intervals, including the severity of the users, were more severe than normal.
A new species of Proceratophrys Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920 (Anura, Odontophrynidae) of the P. bigibbosa species group from Southern Brazil
Authors: Santana Diego José , Mângia Sarah , da Silva Alves Saccol Suélen , Gomes dos Santos Tiago
Published: July 2021

Abstract

The monophyletic Proceratophrys bigibbosa species group has a stable taxonomic history. Despite the increasing number of Proceratophrys described in the last decades, the P. bigibbosa group, for a long time, has consisted of four species distributed in south of South America; except for P. palustris that occurs in southeastern Brazil. Herein, based on concordant evidence of morphology and mtDNA barcoding, we describe a new species of Proceratophrys for specimens assigned to the P. bigibbosa group collected in Tibagi municipality, Paraná state, Brazil. The new species is diagnosed by its small size, snout rounded in dorsal view, palpebral ridge with small and rounded tubercles, small postocular swellings, presence of a line of small and round tubercles on dorso-lateral region of body, and dorsal region covered by small, sparse, and rounded tubercles. We also highlight the potential occurrence of the new species in other areas along the Campos Gerais of Paraná, given the strong association of the species with this vegetational formation in South Brazil.
L’évaluation d’impact sur la santé pour scruter et sculpter les politiques
Authors: Jabot Françoise
Published: July 2021

L’évaluation d’impact sur la santé (EIS) est une approche prospective qui consiste à identifier les conséquences potentielles, tant négatives que positives, d’une intervention sur la santé des populations dans le but de l’améliorer. Identifiée comme pratique propre en 1999, elle a gagné rapidement en popularité et a été progressivement déployée sur tous les continents avec des déclinaisons diverses en termes de stratégies d’implantation, de domaines d’application, d’échelles de mise en œuvre, de modes de gouvernance, d’institutions et d’acteurs impliqués. Elle est actuellement en plein essor en France et au Québec où elle suscite de réelles attentes au regard des enjeux d’inégalités face à la santé, de démocratie et d’articulation des politiques sectorielles. Cet article, étayé sur nos travaux de recherche, brosse un rapide portrait de l’EIS en France et introduit un questionnement sur les atouts, les limites et la plus-value de la démarche. Le présent dossier apporte un éclairage sur la pratique à travers des applications dans différents domaines et contextes, met en relief les enjeux méthodologiques, politiques et sociaux ainsi que les défis à relever pour renforcer le potentiel de l’EIS à améliorer la décision et développer des politiques et projets favorables à la santé.
August Boeckh, klasični filolog in hermenevtik
Authors: Senegačnik Brane
Published: July 2021

August Boeckh je eden najpomembnejših klasičnih filologov 19. stoletja. Njegovo obsežno in izredno raznoliko delo je odlično izhodišče za premislek o konceptu, področjih, metodah in epistemoloških mejah klasične filologije (klasičnih študijev), danes pa tudi za interkulturni dialog. Boeckh je bil tudi vpliven metodik in eden zgodnjih teoretikov moderne hermenevtike. Opirajoč se na nauke svojega učitelja Friedricha Schleiermacherja, je zgradil razvejan sistem filološke metodologije in opredelil cilj filologije kot »spoznanje nekoč že spoznanega«. Posebej značilen za njegovo teorijo je poudarek na vlogi človeške individualnosti tako pri nastajanju kot pri razlagi besedil: individualnosti ni mogoče spoznati in opredeliti pojmovno, temveč zgolj v intuiciji (durch lebendige Anschauung). Ta ideja je zgodovinsko pomembna: individualnost je igrala zelo veliko vlogo v fenomenoloških in psiholoških interpretacijah literarnega dela v 20. stoletju in sprva tudi v recepcijski teoriji; v sodobnih antropoloških, kognitivnih in družboslovnih modelih raziskovanja pa izgublja svoj pomen in smisel, kar ni brez posledic za prevladujoče razumevanje literature v celoti.
De «España árabe» a «España musulmana»: al-Andalus bajo el prisma antisemita (1847-1945)
Authors: Domínguez Juan Pablo
Published: July 2021

Desde mediados del siglo XIX, muchos arabistas e historiadores han hablado de «la España musulmana». En las últimas décadas, varios autores han criticado esta expresión, en la que ven una españolización de al-Andalus fruto del nacionalismo decimonónico. Estas críticas, aun siendo en parte certeras, han impedido advertir que el éxito de la locución «España musulmana» no se debió tanto a la españolización como a la desarabización de al-Andalus. La españolización de al-Andalus ya era habitual antes del siglo XIX: hasta bien entrada esa centuria, bastaba aludir al influjo del clima ibérico para convertir a los árabes en españoles. Lo novedoso en la segunda mitad del XIX fue el triunfo del racialismo. Los caracteres nacionales, hasta entonces vinculados casi siempre a las condiciones geográficas, pasaron a entenderse como producto de la herencia biológica. Y se hizo preciso sostener (con ayuda del antisemitismo «científico») que los pobladores de al-Andalus no fueron de «raza arábiga». Así la «España árabe» se transformó en la «España musulmana».
Islamización y aculturación en la época de ʻUmar II (717-720)
Authors: Lev Yaacov
Published: July 2021

La vasta correspondencia de ʻUmar II con los gobernantes es examinada para la discusión de la islamización y la aculturación. Desde el punto de vista del califa, estos dos procesos tenían que ser regulados y el dilema era cómo formular una política que estuviera en línea con la ética islámica y, al mismo tiempo, controlar la islamización estableciendo un alto nivel de entrada para los conversos. La lucha contra la aculturación intentaba preservar el dominio político musulmán controlando la administración.
Discursos de aboriginalidad entre los lule-vilela del MOCASE. Tensiones entre la demanda estatal de etnicidad y apertura indigenista de las identidades criollas
Authors: Merlo Pablo Concha
Published: July 2021

El presente artículo se basa en un trabajo etnográfico realizado entre 2014 y 2019. Reflexiona en torno a las características asumidas por los discursos de aboriginalidad entre miembros del Movimiento Campesino de Santiago del Estero-Vía Campesina (MOCASE-VC) adscriptos a la identidad étnica lule-vilela, en los departamentos Copo y Alberdi de la provincia argentina de Santiago del Estero. El objetivo consiste en rastrear, describir y analizar significantes movilizados en orden a la presentación en diferentes contextos de la vida cotidiana como miembros de dicha etnia indígena y la relación de estas prácticas identitarias con procesos hegemónicos que contribuyeron a modelarlos, como son las formaciones nacionales/provinciales de alteridad y los actuales procesos de fragmentación del espacio identitario a escala global. El argumento sostenido plantea que las construcciones discursivas ponen de relieve una oscilación productiva entre dos formas asumidas por dicha identidad. Por un lado, es posible observar el predominio de una adscripción más marcadamente étnico-política, cuya emergencia adquiere forma en contextos de demanda político-jurídica a instituciones estatales. Por otro, es posible observar un indigenismo en ciernes como una forma alternativa de política de la alteridad, cuya circulación discursiva adquiere mayor presencia al interior de las redes del movimiento. En el marco de esta apertura indigenista de las identidades criollas, se analizan significantes nodales como campesino-indígena, descendiente, y raza/sangre.

Authors: Alzahrani Turki , Hunt Michelle , Whiddett Dick
Published: July 2021

This research explores the principle barriers to and facilitators of the use of Smart Home Technology, telemonitoring and telemedicine systems to support healthcare and enable older adults to maintain their independence. The research focuses on organizational rather than technological issues. Semi-structured interviews explored the perspectives of three populations of stakeholders (N = 17): managers of rest homes/retirement villages, technology developers in a university setting and older adults (age 65 years and older). Key barriers to and facilitators of adoption are identified for the stakeholder groups. The results indicate that a lack of information about the capabilities and availability of the technologies is a key barrier to adoption. Other issues identified in previous studies are also found to be relevant, such as costs, platform management and infrastructure, and human issues such as privacy. The research provides practical recommendations for directions to be explored by developers and researchers in New Zealand and elsewhere.

The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic shows that schools must adapt new approaches in order to continue to provide teaching and learning at schools. To achieve this, students must be equipped to learn in a multifaceted, multitasking, and technology-driven world, and the utilization of web 2.0 tools has been revealed as important in this endeavor. The aim of this study is to introduce an educational website enriched with web 2.0 tools designed for science teaching and in addition, to show the effect on achievement and motivation. Therefore, the effect of an educational website supported by web 2.0 tools on achievement and motivation was investigated in a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The unit of “Force and Energy” was presented through an educational website enriched by Web 2.0 tools. The positive effects of using the website on the achievement and motivation of the students in the results brought to mind the use of an educational website supported by web 2.0 tools as an alternative or support to online training during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Increasing demand for organ transplantation which is often the lifesaving treatment for organ failure and a shortage of organs is a crisis prevalent in many countries. Proactive engagement of the society by improving awareness about organ donation is perceived to be the key to address the problem of organ shortage. In the current digital era, social media (SoMe) organ donation campaigns are one of the most practical and effective ways to disseminate information and promote collaboration among participants. Many governmental and nongovernmental organizations and social activists are utilizing popular SoMe platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram to promote organ donation awareness. Although such SoMe campaigns are impactful and open unique possibilities to address organ shortage, one should also be aware of the challenges of maintaining confidentiality, the potential for misuse, misinformation, and negative framing. In this narrative review, we review the use of SoMe to promote organ donation including its benefits, pitfalls, and attempt to list some recommendations.

Published: July 2021

Background:

Emergency contraception (EC) is the contraception on demand which can prevent millions of unintended pregnancies. The knowledge and awareness of young doctors towards EC who may be the first contact physician of the society has not been well studied. This study aims to assess the knowledge and awareness of young doctors in a teaching institute in northeast India.

Methodology:

This study was carried out among 200 young doctors and included 100 interns and 100 postgraduate trainees (PGT) and senior resident doctors (SRD) from January 2020 to March 2020 to compare their knowledge and awareness about EC. A predesigned self-administered 22 items questionnaire was used to collect data.

Observation:

In our study, majority of the doctors in both groups were aware of levonorgestrel 1.5 mg tablet as EC (93% and 95%) and more interns than PG SRD were aware of its easy availability (86%, 35%, P value < 0.0001), government supply (77%, 30%, P value < 0.0001), and that copper intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) can be used as EC up to 120 h (89%, 60%, P value < 0.0001). Most doctors were unaware of ulipristal acetate. Most PGT SRDs believe that EC promotes irresponsible behavior, sexually transmitted diseases, and promiscuity but most intern did not agree to it (P value < 0.0001 for each). More than 65% doctors in both groups were aware of the mechanism of action of EC. PGT SRD were more aware of the effectiveness of EC (62%, 80%, P value 0.0078). More interns were aware that EC affects the next period (53%, 25%, P value < 0.0001).

Conclusion:

Interns were more aware about contraception than PGT and SRD, especially about government supply of EC, about IUCD, and behavioral aspect like promoting irresponsible behavior, sexually transmitted disease, and promiscuity.

Published: July 2021

Vrgada Island is situated in the central part of the eastern Adriatic coast. Upper Cretaceous limestones crop out on the surface and Pleistocene sediments cover them in some parts of the island. In this study we focus on a coastal cliff elongated in the N – S direction, situated in the northern part of the island. Aeolian-alluvial deposits, which are 12.5 m thick have been analysed. Three different facies in this succession are described. Lowermost facies A has a strong aeolian influence marked by increased silt and clay percentage and was deposited during colder climate conditions. Structureless sand in facies B was deposited from dense, cold water formed by melting snow and ice from the nearby Dinaric mountains. Bioturbated sandy facies C was probably formed during warmer climate. Unusually high percentage of augite in the lowermost part of facies A can be explained by volcanic dust input, most likely from the Roman or Campanian volcanoes in Italy. Combination of surface textures on quartz grains detected from SEM photographs indicate a short transport of sediment, no matter which mechanism) was dominant. Age correlation of possible tephra horizon from Vrgada island with confirmed tephra from Susak Island and dated ice/snow melting period from nearby mountains points to Upper Pleistocene age of sediments, most likely MIS 3 and MIS 2. The sediments from the Vrgada Island represent a transitional zone between the north Adriatic islands, where aeolian sediments dominate and the South - Eastern Adriatic archipelago, where mixed alluvial and aeolian sediments were observed.

Published: July 2021

Information is the critical resource of modern organization that needs to be protected from both internal and external threats so as to sustain in this competitive business environment. In order to do so, comprehensive security policy must be formulated and implemented. Every employee of the organization must comply with the organization’s security policy. Although organizations implement information security policy, it is commonly observed that employees do not comply with the organization information security policy. The purpose of this research was to identify organizational factors that shape employees behavior to comply with information system security policy in Ethio-telecom. Data were collected via using survey method. Multiple linear regression was used as data analysis method. The study result showed that management support, awareness and training, and accountability are leading organizational factors that shape employees behavior to comply with the existing information system security policy. This is a single case study; it cannot be generalized for other organizations. Other researchers can replicate this research for generalizability of the research findings across different contexts.
Association of human papilloma Virus infection other than cervical cancer: Systematic Review and Meta Analysis

Published: July 2021

Human Papilloma Virus (hpv) infection causes different cancer diseases. Cervical cancer is the most common hpv related disease. hpv infection also causes cancer of anus, vulva, vagina, penis, skin, bladder, prostate, breast, oral and others because the hpv virus is epithelium-tropic. But the association of hpv infection other than cervical cancer, for example breast cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer etc is still inconclusive. Thus, the objective of this review was to collect published information on hpv infection other than cervix to explore the pooled prevalence of hpv infection as well as related types of cancers.  Publish research articles of hpv infection and cancer risks other than cervical cancer were systematically searched through Internet. The preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis guidelines were followed. Joanna Brigg’s Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument (jbi-mastari) adapted for cross sectional/case control study design was used for quality assessment of each individual study. A total of 22 studies were extracted and analyzed using stata 14. The random effect model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence; whereas subgroup analysis and meta-regression was performed to identify the probable source of heterogeneity. Both Egger’s and Begg’s tests were used to check publication bias.  The totals of 486 studies were retrieved and 22 studies were included in this meta- analysis. The meta-analysis result showed that the pooled prevalence of hpv infection other than cervix was 34.36% (95% CI: 23.75, 44.97) with severe heterogeneity (I2 = 99.5%; p<0.001) with no publication bias. The highest pooled prevalence of hpv infection other than cervix was related to genital cancer which is 58.63% (95% CI: 51.86, 65.39), followed by oral cancer (47.15% with 95% CI: 19.67, 74.63). Although cervical cancer is primarily hpv induced cancer which well articulated with so many researches, other cancer types (based on the location of the hpv infection) are also increasing across the world based on this systematic and meta-analysis study. hpv infection increases the risk of developing cancers other than cervical cancer.
