Background

The COVID-19 pandemic and containment policies disrupted health services, including vaccination activities in Cameroon since March 2020. This study evaluates the impact of COVID-19 on the Expanded Programme of Immunisation (EPI) in the Littoral region of Cameroon.

Methods

A cross-sectional study used secondary data from Cameroon’s District Health Information System-2, from the COVID-19 situational report, and from the international data platform on contingency measures. Time series analysis of monthly vaccination data (BCG, PENTA 1 and 3, measles) compared Pre-COVID (Jan 2019-Feb 2020) and COVID periods (Mar 2020-Dec 2021). Bivariate analysis with simple linear regression assessed the association between COVID-19 cases stringency index, and vaccination coverages. The Wilcoxon rank sum test compared vaccination coverage changes between rural and urban districts.

Results

Vaccination coverage increased initially right after the start of the pandemic, but dropped over the following 10 months. There was a weak, non-significant negative association between COVID-19 cases/stringency index and vaccination coverages. BCG coverage dropped by 4.75% (P=0.3), while PENTA1, PENTA3, and measles coverages dropped significantly by 7.83% (P=0.04), 9.55% (P=0.002), and 12.11% (P=0.001), respectively. Rural areas, despite having fewer COVID-19 cases, saw a more pronounced decline in EPI coverage than urban areas, suggesting additional influencing factors.

Conclusions

The COVID-19 pandemic led to significant declines in PENTA1, PENTA3, and measles vaccination coverage in the Littoral region of Cameroon, especially in rural areas. While other studies showed that these declines were due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our study showed that factors beyond COVID-19 cases and stringency measures influenced vaccination rates. There is therefore a need to do further studies to identify some of these factors to strengthen health systems and to maintain immunisation services during future health crises.

Published: December 2024

The UK government has put new economic policy to increase the Value added tax (VAT) to 20%, which raise widely discussions. This case study aims to find out how increased standard VAT influence customer’s satisfaction and consumption habit in North Wales area. There has been lively debate between the government and the opposition party, the government has asserted that it is progressive, as those with higher incomes spend more and will therefore pay more VAT. Opposition claims, however, that as low earners have to spend a much bigger share of their income than high earners in order to meet their basic needs. A total of 80 respondents participated in the survey.  Reliability test analysis was used to analyse the reliability of each questions in the questionnaire. Data collected were analysed by using correlation analysis and t-test to determine the relationship between variables and test the hypothesis.  The findings reveal that VAT increase has significant impact on consumers’ consumption habit. This case study could fill the gap in the literature for consumers’ consumption habit on VAT increase. Also the outcomes of this study could add to existing literature and serve as a foundation for further studies.

Specific approach to total hip arthroplasty in patients with childhood hip disorders sequelae
Authors: Barbaric Starcevic Katarina , Bicanic Goran , Bicanic Luka
Published: December 2024

Hip arthroplasty in patients with a history of paediatric hip disorders presents a significant challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. These patients are typically younger and have greater functional demands. Therefore, achieving optimal biomechanical conditions is crucial, involving placement of the acetabulum at the ideal centre of rotation and securing a stable femoral component with good offset to preserve abductor muscle function and restore leg length. The altered anatomy in these cases makes total hip arthroplasty more complex, necessitating thorough preoperative imaging and an individualised surgical approach. Various techniques may be employed to optimise biomechanical outcomes. We propose a modified lateral hip approach, offering exceptional visualisation of the acetabulum and femur while preserving the continuity of the abductor muscles without requiring trochanteric osteotomy. To achieve the most biomechanically advantageous acetabular position, cotyloplasty is our preferred method.

Authors: Alwan Nassif Rafah , Hamid Hilal Raghad , Khalid Khalef Wafaa
Published: December 2024

Nanocellulose (NC) stands out as a promising reinforcement agent for protective coatings due to its renewable, biodegradable, and biocompatible nature. In this research, we synthesized coconut shell powder nanoparticles (CSNPs) with an average size of 52.43 nm in the laboratory. These CSNPs were incorporated into epoxy (EP) coatings at loadings ranging from 0 to 3 wt% through a hand-laying process, applied onto steel rods at room temperature. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to analyze the nanocomposite coatings. The corrosion resistance of the coated steel rods was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) after immersion in a 3.5% sodium chloride solution. Notably, after a 5-day exposure, the 2% CSNP-loaded coating exhibited the highest adhesion strength, surpassing the pure epoxy coating and other formulations. SEM analysis confirmed the excellent dispersion of 2% nanocellulose in the matrix, demonstrating superior anti-corrosion properties over 30 and 90 days of EIS experiments. Comparative studies with pure epoxy resin through EIS and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) tests underscored the significant enhancement in corrosion protection performance achieved by incorporating CSNPs. The study employs terms such as nanocomposites, nanocellulose, characterizations, coating, anticorrosion, and electrochemical tests to comprehensively address the multifaceted aspects of this investigation.

Authors: Faraj Sarah S. , Hadi Nabil H.
Published: December 2024

The turbocharger fails due to high pressure and rotational speed. To examine the stress placed on the turbocharger's turbine blade, the analysis focused specifically on the turbine's relation to a 118 kW engine used in automobiles. The turbine operates at a rotational speed of 10000 r.p.m. In calculating the turbine design, factors such as pressure, quantity, breadth, tangential force, mass flow rate, radial force, and the input and output of the blades were considered. The turbine blade design included twelve blades. SolidWorks software was used to study and model the turbine blade of the turbo-engine, and a suitable finite element model was developed. In this project, the turbocharger turbine wheel, with configurations of 8, 10, and 12 blades, was designed and optimized for material selection. When subjected to the same pressure and speed, the Von Mises stress and deformation data were analyzed, comparing aluminum alloys (2618-T61 and 7075-T6), alloy steel, and copper alloys (manganese bronze). The results showed that the turbine wheel experienced minimal Von Mises stress of 175.8 MPa in aluminum alloy (2618-T61) with 12 blades at a ball velocity of 50 m/s, a minimum equivalent elastic strain of 1.503 in alloy steel with 8 blades, and a minimum total deformation of 6.138×10⁻² mm in alloy steel with 8 blades at a ball velocity of 50 m/s. Therefore, aluminum alloy (2618-T61) with 12 blades was determined to be the most suitable material and configuration for the turbine blade wheel.

Authors: NINGARAJU S.  , KALYANI MANJULA ISHWARA
Published: December 2024

Fungi that dwell inside the host plant’s tissue without damaging it are known as endophytic fungi. Endophytic fungal strains established in medicinal plants can create bioactive chemicals, particularly secondary metabolites. For several biological fields, they have been recognized as possible sources of new natural products. Research into endophytic fungi is still in its early phases, even though all plants seem to have fungi with some bioactive content and activity. In this study, endophytic fungi from Hultholia mimosoides were isolated, identified and their anti-microbial activity was assessed. Twelve morphologically distinct endophytic fungi isolated, were identified based on their ITS region of 18s RNA and the same was reported to GenBank. All the isolates subjected to ethyl acetate solvent extraction, in order to determine the anti-microbial activity. The endophytic fungi were identified through both macroscopic and microscopic examinations. The morphological characteristics and the microscopic observations aided in determining the endophytic fungi. These endophytes were further confirmed and classified as Fusarium chlamydosporum (OQ683919), Fusarium oxysporum (OQ683924), Diaporthe longicolla (OQ685299), Cladosporium herbarum (OQ685410), Aspergillus tubingensis (OQ685748), Fusarium solani (OQ685892), Penicillium madriti (OQ603494), Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (OQ678261), Fusarium oxysporum (OQ680483), Fusarium incarnatum (OQ680522), Fusarium equiseti (OQ680709), and Penicillium glabrum (OQ683918). In order to assess the antibacterial activity of endophytic fungi against six tested bacterial pathogenic organisms, their crude metabolites were extracted using ethyl acetate solvent. The crude extracts of all endophytic fungi demonstrated antibacterial activity. Among them Penicillium glabrum (OQ683918) and Cladosporium herbarum (OQ685410) exhibited the highest zones of inhibition against the four bacterial pathogens.

Published: December 2024

After respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most common infection in the community and healthcare settings, including hospitals. Klebsiella pneumonie causes second most UTIs after Escherichia coli. This pathogen has many virulence characteristics and is producing more resistant strains, including ESBL and Carbapenem-resistant strains. These resistant infections raise morbidity, death, and healthcare expenses. In this work, Klebsiella pneumoniae is isolated from urine samples from a tertiary care hospital and assessed for antimicrobial susceptibility. A tertiary care hospital retrospective analysis included all Klebsiella pneumoniae- positive urine samples collected in sterile containers by the microbiology laboratory from July to December 2023. The positive colonies were tested for antibiotic susceptibility using Modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion. Over six months, 116 Klebsiella pneumoniaecontaining urine samples were processed. These isolates were 74.7% aztreonam-resistant, 73.8% amoxicillinclavulanate-resistant, and 50-60% cephalosporin-resistant. Meropenem, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and ertapenem (100%sensitivity) were the most sensitive, followed by ceftazidime-avibactam (98%), nitrofurantoin (94%), and piperacillin-tazobactam (78.5%). Our investigation found substantial resistance to beta-lactam combination medicines and cephalosporins, possibly due to their frequent use. Reserve imipenem, Meropenem, or Ertapenem for hospital-acquired illnesses.

Authors: Shettigar Dilip , Pradhan Abhimanyu , T Visakh , Kadavigere Rajagopal , Dkhar Winniecia , Sukumar Suresh
Published: December 2024

Background: Stature estimation is crucial in forensic anthropology for victim identification. While long bones are traditionally used, exploring alternative skeletal elements could enhance accuracy and applicability in various forensic scenarios.
Objective: To evaluate the potential of the femur, tibia, fibula, pelvis, sacrum, and thoracolumbar vertebrae measurements in estimating stature using CT imaging.
Methods: In this retrospective study, CT scans of 50 adult subjects were analysed. Measurements of long bones in the lower limb, pelvis, sacrum, and thoracolumbar vertebrae were obtained. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated to assess relationships between bone measurements and height. Simple linear regression analyses were performed for strongly correlated parameters.
Results: Long bones of the lower extremity showed the strongest correlations with height (r > 0.7, p < 0.001), followed by thoracolumbar length (r = 0.70, p < 0.001). Pelvic and sacral measurements demonstrated moderate correlations. Regression equations derived from tibial measurements provided the most accurate height estimations, with an average deviation of less than 1 cm from actual height.
Conclusion: This study confirms the reliability of the lower limb's long bones and the thoracolumbar vertebrae for stature estimation. While pelvic and sacral measurements showed potential, their utility appears limited compared to long bones. These findings provide population-specific formulae for stature estimation, enhancing the toolkit for forensic anthropologists in India.

Background: Emergency Medical Services [EMS] has become an essential component of the health-care system. The help provided within an hour of traumatic injury; the ‘golden hour’ has enormous effect on the prognosis of the injured person. Public transport drivers, by virtue of their occupation are more likely to encounter emergencies like road traffic accidents. Basic knowledge on EMS is more relevant on this population.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study 116 public transport drivers were assessed about their perception and practices of EMS. The study was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee and permission was taken from the Dean. Data were collected via an internally validated questionnaire covering sociodemographic details of the participants, and their perception and practices regarding EMS. The collected data were analysed using SPSS version 29.0. Chi-square test was employed for statistical analysis.
Results: All the 116 participants in our study were literates while two-thirds were urban residents. The mean age of the participants was 44.1 years, the majority (62%) of them were drivers with over 10 years of driving experience. Awareness of the toll-free emergency number (108) was high (83%), but awareness of the unified emergency number (112) was low (44%). All participants knew about involvement of paramedics in EMS, and 86% understood their dual role in treatment and transport. While 63.8% were aware of the Good Samaritan Law, 63% expressed willingness to help an injured person. A high proportion of the study subjects (82%) trusted the EMS, and 98% supported mandatory public first aid training.

Published: December 2024

With the increasing number of vehicles in urban areas, managing parking has become a major challenge, especially in spaces where finding an available spot is difficult and time-consuming. In addition to the incon- venience of locating a parking slot, the entry of unauthorized vehicles presents significant security concerns. Unauthorized access can lead to security breaches, theft, or other risks, making it essential to monitor vehicles effectively. Current parking systems often lack real-time updates on available spaces, adding to the frustration of users who waste time searching for parking. This paper presents an AI-driven parking management system that addresses both security and convenience. By using video analytics, the system provides real-time vehicle number plate recognition to prevent unauthorized entry while also detecting vacant parking slots to offer users live updates. This solution improves both safety and efficiency, contributing to a smarter and more secure urban environment.

Published: December 2024

The article links community resilience – the resilience of the political community, with the process of public policy-making. In the argumentation, the study investigates the formation of community resilience and the importance of individual attitudes, compared to the individualism-collectivism scale. The sample research is conducted among 669 respondents in Bulgaria, aged 15 to 77 years old (M=29.3; SD=13.39). The applied methodology is based on the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) to measure people’s environmental attitudes, and the Ecological Consumer Behaviour Scale to measure eco-anxiety and pro-environmental behavioural intentions. Empirical study measures self-efficacy, Big Five personality traits, and values orientations. The results confirm that there were gender differences on the NEP scale, including that women show higher environmental attitudes. The research findings provide explanations how human values were positively related to one’s awareness of the environmental crisis. Finally, neuroticism correlated positively with realising the limit to growth. Therefore, it is important, that the design and the implementation of public policies and educational programs, consider various psychological aspects of individual human behaviour. This approach may have key implications for engaging in future sustainable behaviour and increasing the degree of resilience.

Authors: Jia Muhan , Sun Zijian
Published: December 2024

Multi-modal emotion recognition technology explores emotion recognition by integrating facial expression, voice intonation, text analysis and other multi-source data, so as to improve the naturalness and accuracy of human-computer interaction. Aiming at the emerging field of multi-modal emotion recognition, this paper introduces three single-modal emotion recognition methods of text, face and voice, especially the problem of multi-modal emotion fusion, and introduces the methods with high success rate of multi-modal emotion fusion recognition in recent years. Through comparative analysis, the conclusion is drawn that the current fusion methods are more complicated and the fusion success rate has been improved to some extent. However, the number of data sets on multi-modal emotion analysis is small, and the research on gesture and other modes of emotion recognition is also scarce. In the later stage, it is necessary to enrich the data set and add new modes to improve the accuracy and robustness of the multi-modal emotion recognition and analysis system.

Authors: Wu Yuyang
Published: December 2024

The study examines how the intersection of sexism and the white-washing of Chinese culture in mainstream media perpetuates harmful stereotypes, underrepresents the social status of Chinese women, and diminishes their self-perception and societal expectations. An analysis of Mulan and other Disney movies, reveals how the media misrepresent intersectional identities, reinforcing racial and gender stereotypes to a broad audience. The study highlights the need for genuine representation of marginalized groups to challenge these stereotypes and argues that increased awareness and inclusivity can reduce ingrained prejudices and correct misrepresentations. It contributes to ongoing discussions on intersectionality and the critical role of diversity in shaping public perceptions.

Authors: Guo Xiaoyu
Published: December 2024

Artificial intelligence is a new trend in global technological development and plays an important role in promoting the construction of a new industrialization system. However, as an emerging productive force, AI technology has always lacked a set of standardized rules on ethical and moral issues. This has led to numerous copyright disputes and personal injury incidents caused by AI technology worldwide, posing a serious threat to intellectual property and ethical circles. To achieve this, global theoretical and institutional innovations are needed. The handling of moral and ethical issues by artificial intelligence mainly includes the formulation of moral and ethical norms and the moral and ethical evaluation of AI technology. Therefore, there should be more cooperation in the international field just like the Artificial Intelligence Law promulgated by the European Union. This paper adopting literature analysis and case analysis methods, mainly studyed the different governance attitudes of China, the United States, and the European Union, as well as the legislative practice of the EU in enacting artificial intelligence laws.

Analysing the Ability of SLAM Algorithms Fused with CNN to Acquire Deep Information
Authors: Wu Di
Published: December 2024

Given that SLAM has benefited from the development of vision technology in the last decade, it has been widely popularised into people's daily life, such as drones and UAVs using sensors to acquire environmental data and construct maps to avoid obstacles and achieve path planning. However, since the extent of SLAM technology is mostly based on the texture features of the input image, SLAM is prone to misjudge the depth information when the features of the input image are not obvious. Combined with the current development of Deep Learning, the paper can consider integrating the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which has a good processing effect on image data, into the SLAM algorithm, so as to improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the SLAM algorithm in obtaining depth data. This paper will analyse the basic principles of SLAM and CNN, and discuss the current existence of CNN and SLAM fusion related technology.
Exploring The Influence of Cyber Language on Language Education
Authors: Liu Haixiao
Published: December 2024

Previous studies have found that Cyber Language (CL) impacts the Language acquisition of English as Foreign Language (EFL) students. This study, which included 50 Chinese academic undergraduates who lived or studied in an English-speaking environment, examined the sources of CL’s influence on EFL students’ language acquisition and students’ attitudes toward CL as well as approaches to integrating it into pedagogy design. Using semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, the researcher discovered that CL is derived from online chat and has a dual effect (positive and negative) on EFL students’ language acquisition. Nevertheless, only a small number of studies demonstrated how CL is integrated into pedagogy design. This study examined the sources of CL’s influence on EFL students’ language acquisition and students’ attitudes toward CL. The participants in this study were 50 Chinese academic undergraduates who lived or studied in an English-speaking environment. Through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, the researcher found that CL is derived from online chat and has a dual effect (positive and negative) on EFL students’ language acquisition. Based on this conclusion, the researcher analyzed past literature and interviews with respondents and concluded that educators could integrate CL into pedagogy designs in the following ways: 1) Systematic and theoretical explanation, 2) Use the informality of CL for vocabulary learning, 3) Constantly update the vocabulary choice of CL in the design. It should be noted that the experimental results need to be further confirmed, considering the small sample size and the potential impact of the questionnaire design order on the respondents, etc.
