COVID-19 and its intersect with ethics and human rights in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Mutenherwa Farai , Eghtessadi Rouzeh , Dzinamarira Tafadzwa , Musuka Godfrey
Published: August 2021

Confirmed new cases of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have accelerated in Sub-Saharan Africa against a backdrop of fragile health systems, a high burden of comorbidities and socioeconomic instability. The context makes the region particularly vulnerable to the virus and its impact. As cases escalate, the need to tailor-make COVID-19-related response strategies to the African context is imperative. This paper aims to discuss key considerations on the public health response to the pandemic and its intersection with ethics and human rights. With this perspective, we bring attention to the conflict between healthcare workers’ obligations and patient rights under the unclear policy and regulatory frameworks and the application of restrictive measures in the context of poverty. The indirect effects of the pandemic on already existing health problems are also highlighted. We appeal to the African States to establish appropriate systems which integrate human rights-based approaches to COVID-19 response. These systems should be ethically sound systems and ensure no-one is left behind in terms of testing, access to therapeutics and vaccination, and social protection; based on lessons learned over the past 12 months of the pandemic’s presence in SSA, and patterns emerging across the globe.

Authors: Santamaria Erika , Súarez Marco , Ortiz Gallego Ricardo , Fuya Patricia , Páez Geraldine , Marceló-Díaz Catalina
Published: August 2021

The collection of insects of medical importance from the National Institute of Health (Colombia) INS, was started in 1934 with the aim of being an institutional and national repository of the biodiversity of insects involved in vector-borne diseases of importance in public health. Today, the entomological collection includes more than 7.500 specimens.

The ceratopogonids insects are one of the Groups of Diptera that conform this collection. Within the Ceratopogonidae family, are the insects of the genera Culicoides which are relevant in public health because of the nuisance caused by their bites when they are presented in great abundance and because of their role as transmitters of several agents (virus, protozoa and nematodes) that causes diseases to the humans and to the animals (Mullen 2002, Kettle 1995). Brief of the Ceratopogonidae insects (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) found in the collection, is presented here. A total of 801 individuals of this family rest in the collection, mainly adult of the genus Culicoides (90%). The collection is the result of the effort of several researchers through the history of the Group of Entomology (INS). These researchers collected ceratopogonids when they went to different transmission scenarios of the vector-borne diseases in Colombia, with the purpose of making the entomological characterizations. The effort of the researchers also included the processing, assembly, and identification of the specimens in the laboratory.

New information about the geographical distribution of 39 species of the genera Culicoides appears for Colombia.

New stability result for a Bresse system with one infinite memory in the shear angle equation
Authors: Al-Mahdi Adel M. , Al-Gharabli Mohammad M. , Ali Saeed M.
Published: August 2021

In this paper, we consider a one-dimensional linear Bresse system with only one infinite memory acting in the second equation (the shear angle equation) of the system. We prove that the asymptotic stability of the system holds under some general condition imposed into the relaxation function, precisely,

   \begin{document}$ g^{\prime}(t)\le -\xi(t) G(g(t)). $\end{document}

The proof is based on the multiplier method and makes use of convex functions and some inequalities. More specifically, we remove the constraint imposed on the boundedness condition on the initial data \begin{document}$ \eta{0x} $\end{document}. This study generalizes and improves previous literature outcomes.

Reducing the infectious diseases burden through “life course approach vaccination” in India—a perspective
Authors: Saleem Sheikh Mohd ,   Independent Public Health Researcher, Jammu &Kashmir, India, Bhattacharya Sudip ,   Independent Public Health Researcher, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India
Published: August 2021

The burden of vaccine-preventable diseases is increasing day by day across all age groups. However as per the universal immunization programme, we vaccinate only under-fives and antenatal mothers, a large portion of the vulnerable population remain unvaccinated and the concept of “life course approach” regarding vaccination is missing. It increases the overall burden to the already constrained Indian health care system. As India, now has become the largest manufacturer of multiple vaccines, we have continuous chain healthcare points (primary-tertiary level), with dedicated manpower in the public health sector that is why in this paper we are proposing to expand the horizon of the vaccination process using a “life course approach”. It will not only directly benefit the vulnerable populations (individual level), but also it can benefit the nation, indirectly. Although we may face challenges at multiple phases (conception to implementation), they can be overcome by multisectoral and multipronged innovations.

Authors: Guerra Cecília Vieira , Loureiro Maria José , Senos Susana
Published: August 2021

This chapter presents testimonials of 12 national experts in the field of educational technology concerning the main didactic, technological, and social challenges they faced throughout the “emergency remote teaching” that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic confinement. All experts are professors in Portuguese universities or polytechnic institutions, and they are acquainted with the “distance education” modality. An online questionnaire was applied to these 12 professors in order to collect their opinions about the main challenges during this period. Based on a content analysis technique, the results revealed several technological (e.g., unpredictability of internet connections), didactic (e.g., the teachers' lack of technological pedagogical content knowledge), and social challenges (e.g., the lack of proper physical spaces at home). Based on the lessons learned from this worldwide pandemic emergency, and critically reflecting about it, recommendations are suggested for future action to “distance education” in higher education.

Published: August 2021

This chapter examines an innovative learning project in which undergraduate marketing students manage and generate content on an official Instagram profile. The project is designed to provide students with a more active role in the learning process through the application of new virtual technology tools. During the pandemic (course 2020-21), students shared their knowledge about marketing and related topics through storytelling, transmedia, gamification, and virtual/augmented reality via Instagram. The students' perception of the learning outcomes, and their satisfaction, were compared with those of students from three previous courses (2017-20). The findings revealed that students assessed the Instagram activity more highly in the context of the pandemic than in previous years. Interestingly, the students also reported better learning outcomes and improvement in their soft skills and consequently were highly satisfied with the project, which suggests the activity should continue in the future.
A 3D Dynamic Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study: Diffusion of Two Types of Sphere Janus Colloidal Particles
Authors: Ma Qian Li
Published: August 2021

The research of Janus colloidal particles has attracted much attention in recent years because of its huge prospects and applications in materials, chemicals, medicine, catalysis, etc. In order to reduce the cost of conducting experiments, the method of molecular dynamics simulation is used to conduct research on Janus particles. However, the current related simulation study lacks the visualization, dynamization and three-dimensionalization of the Janus particle simulation process. Therefore, the author simulates the free diffusion process of two kinds of Janus particles by using 3D visualization dynamic molecular dynamics related software in this paper. By analyzing the influence of the related parameters of particles and droplet on the diffusion process, new directions of the researches about the simulation of Janus particles can be proposed. The simulation results show that the size of the droplet, the position where the droplet is added to the solution, and the mass of the particles will affect the diffusion process rate of the particles in the droplet in the surrounding solution.

Authors: Thongchai Tanikan , Poolsawat Krisana
Published: August 2021

This research mainly focused on the properties of decorative white cement tiles which made from waste glass and white cement. The ratio of waste glass powder and white cement were studied at 10 : 90, 15 : 85, 20 : 80, 30 : 70, 40 : 60, 50 : 50, 60 : 40 and 70 : 30 by using water content at 30 %wt. All components were mixed and cast into the mould. Decorative white cement tiles were curing at 14, 21 and 28 days. In order to characterize physical and mechanical properties, all tiles were measured density, water absorption and compressive strength. According to the results, it can be obviously seen that density increased and water absorption decreased with increasing waste glass powder content. The highest compressive strength of around 36.5 MPa was found at 20 %wt of waste glass powder. However, compressive strength decreased with increasing waste glass powder over 20 %wt (waste glass powder 20: white cement 80). It was found that the lowest compressive strength of around 30.58 MPa was found at 70 %wt of waste glass powder. Curing time also affected properties as it was found that increasing curing time to 28 days resulted in increasing of density and compressive strength. In order to study how long does essential oil last on decorative white cement tiles, the orange essential oil at 1, 5 and 10 %wt were added into the white cement paste by using waste glass powder : white cement at 20 : 80 with 30 %wt of water. Decorative white cement tiles were smelled by 30 people every morning for 30 days and it can be found that 10 %wt of orange essential oil last longest on the decorative white cement tiles with 22 days.

Authors: Wickramasurendra J. M. , Jagoda D. J. , Rathnayake R. M. L.
Published: August 2021

Social Media Addiction is regarded as a form of psychological or behavioral dependence on social media platforms driven by an obsessive, uncontrollable urge to use social media. Typically, young people addicted to social media are more likely to report poor mental health including psychological distress. Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) is a distinct measurement used to evaluate the addiction level of a particular individual. According to Data Reportal (2020), social media penetration in Sri Lanka stands at 30 percent including a majority of youngsters. Since G.C.E. Advanced Level examination is a critical examination instrumental in pursuing higher education, it is of great importance to identify significant factors affecting social media addiction among Advanced Level students. A sample of 250 students was drawn using multi-stage clustering from Colombo district which recorded the highest internet usage in 2018. The primary data were collected through online and questionnaire surveys. To achieve the main objective, factor analysis and binary logistic regression were used. It was revealed that peer influence, entertainment, and owning a smartphone positively affected the total students' social media addiction. When it comes to female students, parent and peer utilization of social media and online interpersonal relationships were identified as important factors. Similarly, peer influence, subject stream, and owning a smartphone were identified as influential factors for male students' addiction. It was further revealed that male students who were studying in the art stream and technology stream had a higher possibility of addiction compared to that of the physical science stream. The overall research provides important recommendations on possible actions to prevent addiction.

Published: August 2021

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the non-communicable diseases. According to records, kidney disease affects millions of people worldwide including Sri Lanka every year. The number of kidney patients rapidly increased in the last three decades in Sri Lanka and it has been blowout to Badulla District during the previous years. Therefore, this study is mainly focused to investigate the factors that affect the prevalence of CKD in Badulla district in Sri Lanka. A sample was drawn using the multi-stage cluster sampling method. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach and a questionnaire survey. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were used to achieve the objectives. According to the descriptive statistics, 35.73% of the sample are recorded for having kidney disease and 64.27% are recorded for not having kidney disease. The majority of kidney patients are male. Binary logistic regression has found that amount of drinking water per day and the duration of using alcohol are significant factors for having kidney disease. Further, it reveals that people who drink less amount of water were more likely to develop kidney disease than people who drink more amount of water and long duration of alcohol intake is more evident to have kidney disease than those who have not used alcohol. Further, the study suggested increasing the amount of drinking water per day, and to reduce the alcohol intake as a solution for getting rid of kidney disease.
The pharmacoeconomics of the state-of-the-art drug treatments for asthma: a systematic review

Published: August 2021

Asthma is a chronic disease characterized by significant morbidities and mortality, with a large impact on socio-economic resources and a considerable burden on health-care systems. In the standard care of asthma, inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) associated with long-acting β-adrenoceptor agonists (LABA) are a reliable and often cost-effective choice, especially if based on the single inhaler therapy (SIT) strategy; however, in a subset of patients it is not possible to reach an adequate asthma control. In these cases, it is possible to resort to other pharmacologic options, including corticosteroids (OCS) or biologics. Unfortunately, OCS are associated with important side effects, whilst monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) allow excellent results, even if far more expensive. Up to now, the economic impact of asthma has not been compared with equivalent indicators in several studies. In fact, a significant heterogeneity of the cost analysis is evident in literature, for which the assessment of the real cost-effectiveness of asthma therapies is remarkably complex. To maximize the cost-effectiveness of asthma strategies, especially of biologics, attention must be paid on phenotyping and identification of predictors of response. Several studies were included, involving comparative analysis of drug treatments for asthma, comparative analysis of the costs and consequences of therapies, measurement and evaluation of direct drug costs, and the reduction of health service use. The initial research identified 389 articles, classified by titles and abstracts. A total of 311 articles were excluded as irrelevant and 78 articles were selected. Pharmacoeconomic studies on asthma therapies often report conflicting data also due to heterogeneous indicators and different populations examined. A careful evaluation of the existing literature is extremely important, because the scenario is remarkably complex, with an attempt to homogenize and interpret available data. Based on these studies, the improvement of prescriptive appropriateness and the reduction of the use of healthcare resources thanks to controller medications and to innovative therapies such as biologics partially reduce the economic burden of these treatments. A multidisciplinary stakeholder approach can also be extremely helpful in deciding between the available options and thus optimizing healthcare resources.

Published: August 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to optimize a peptide (nABP284) that binds to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) by a computer-based protocol in order to increase its affinity. Then, this study aimed to determine the inhibitory effects of this peptide on cancer immune escape by coculturing improving cytokine-induced killer (ICIK) cells with cancer cells.Materials and MethodsnABP284 that binds to PD-1 was identified by phage display technology in our previous study. AutoDock and PyMOL were used to optimize the sequence of nABP284 to design a new peptide (nABPD1). Immunofluorescence was used to demonstrate that the peptides bound to PD-1. Surface plasmon resonance was used to measure the binding affinity of the peptides. The blocking effect of the peptides on PD-1 was evaluated by a neutralization experiment with human recombinant programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) protein. The inhibition of activated lymphocytes by cancer cells was simulated by coculturing of human acute T lymphocytic leukemia cells (Jurkat T cells) with human tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells (Cal27 cells). The anticancer activities were determined by coculturing ICIK cells with Cal27 cells in vitro.ResultsA high-affinity peptide (nABPD1, KD=11.9 nM) for PD-1 was obtained by optimizing the nABP284 peptide (KD=11.8 μM). nABPD1 showed better efficacy than nABP284 in terms of increasing the secretion of interkeulin-2 by Jurkat T cells and enhancing the in vitro antitumor activity of ICIK cells.ConclusionnABPD1 possesses higher affinity for PD-1 than nABP284, which significantly enhances its ability to block the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction and to increase ICIK cell-mediated antitumor activity by armoring ICIK cells.

El estudio de las concepciones que poseen los docentes acerca de la enseñanza es cada vez más relevante, y no muy desarrollado en carreras de ingeniería. En este trabajo se describen y comparan las concepciones sobre la enseñanza que poseen docentes de Ingeniería de la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo con diseño ex post facto, sobre una muestra de 98 docentes. La variable en estudio fue analizada en dos dimensiones: ¿qué se enseña? y ¿cómo se enseña? Para la recolección de los datos se empleó un cuestionario de dilemas y se amplió con la realización de entrevistas. Los resultados muestran que las concepciones se encuentran distribuidas desde una postura más tradicional, centrada en los contenidos, hasta una posición más innovadora, centrada en el estudiante, concluyendo que hay una inconsistencia entre la intencionalidad sobre el qué enseñar y el qué y cómo evaluar.

Challenges of the Cultural Sector in Poland after 1989 and the Accompanying Popularization of the Idea of Audience Development

Through the last three decades, cultural workers have developed a growing belief in the importance of the so called ‘participative turn.’ The aim of the article is to scrutinize the changes accompanying the culture sector in Poland after 1989 and to identify the challenges which constitute what one could call a ‘fertile ground’ for the popularization of the idea of Audience Development. The concept in question refers to a strategic and holistic approach to the issue of building relations between cultural organizations and their audiences. The article is based on literature studies. The presented analysis focuses mostly on organisations and cultural policies in larger cities in Poland.
Social work and “the social”: a biopolitical perspective
Authors: Webb Stephen A.
Published: August 2021

ABSTRAKT
Amid the uncertainty of the current political context and an unprecedented institutional crisis in European welfare, this article offers a theoretical analysis of the problems arising from the historical reshaping of social work as a biopolitical organ of the state. It undertakes this analysis from a biopolitical perspective and asks how this framework can help us in defining the specific features of social work intervention in family life? To properly answer, the article proposes a methodological understanding which explicates a series of relations between “biopolitics – the social – social work”. To this end, supported by analyses from Foucault and Donzelot, the article shows how social work as a form of state governmentality intervenes in the lives of families to normalise behaviour and conduct. From a critical vantage point, these findings compel us to re-examine the problem of consent and consensus when working with service users and families in the midst of an increasingly more controlling authoritarian social work.
Komunikacja społeczna w pracy socjalnej – aspekty teoretyczne i praktyczne
Authors: Szast Mateusz
Published: August 2021

Social communication in social work ‒ theoretical and practical aspects

The purpose of the article is to draw attention to the issues not so much as communication, but to communicate in social work, with particular emphasis on the essence of communication between individuals, listening and not hearing and perceiving rather than seeing the needs of other people. Proper intergenerational and intercultural communication, in turn, can condition understanding and empathy by capturing the interlocutor’s point of view ‒ it should be noted that the vast majority of social workers are younger than their pupils, characterized by specialized education, which may make it difficult to understand the level of abstraction of their stakeholders or beneficiaries. In the analysis completed with recommendations for social workers, both verbal and non-verbal channels were included.
Obraz psychozy w autobiograficznej twórczości literackiej osób chorujących psychicznie

Image of psychosis in autobiographical literary work of mentally ill people

Both superficial and professional contact with a person suffering from paranoid schizophrenia brings with it many threads, questions and ambiguities. This is also the case with contact with the literary and poetic work of the people affected. Their work is often incomprehensible, because in its form it often does not resemble anything known, simple or familiar. Reading the products of the sick, we have a chance to get closer to the experience and to get to know psychosis, but also to get closer to the author, as to the man with a burden on the neck, but as valuable as all other people. The aim of this work is to introduce the subject of narration and autobiographical work of mentally ill people on the example of Joanne Greenberg’s novel “Life is not a fairy tale”.
Voice disorders in teachers and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)
Authors: Giannini Susana Pimentel Pinto , Ferreira Léslie Piccolotto
Published: August 2021

Introduction. Contemporary occupational diseases are increasingly expressed by function disorders, which include voice disorders, forcing workers to request a leave of absence from work and leading to an incapacity to perform their work activities. Teachers have the higher prevalence of vocal disorders among the professionals who use their voices professionally, which is reported as the second cause of teaching work absences in Brazil.
Objective. To analyze the environment and organization aspects of the teaching work associated with the development of voice disorder of teachers, according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).
Method. This study consisted of two steps. Initially, an integrative bibliographic review was performed to search for references related to the topic in the LILACS, MEDLINE and SCIELO databases, using the health descriptors "voice disorders" and "teachers". Then, the selected articles were read in full in order to identify the work factors associated with the voice disorder and compared with the theoretical framework of the ICF, in order to identify possible indicators of loss of functioning and capacity for teaching work resulting from voice disorders.
Results. The presence of dust and noise were the most prevalent environment aspects. In turn, the high demand for work and the lack of autonomy to perform the work were identified as factors related to the organization of the work of the teaching work, as well as stress at work and the presence of situations of violence at school as the most reported work absences.
Conclusion. As shown, the factors of teaching work described impact all components of functioning and lead to the incapacity of the teacher to work. The use of the ICF may contribute to systematize and quantify, in a standardized way, the loss of functioning and work capacity resulting from voice disorders, in addition to assisting in the development of public health promotion policies and in the prevention of vocal disorders in teachers.

The article analyzes the prospects for using by the penitentiary-legal doctrine the paradigmatic foundations of legal science. Achievement of the paradigmatic stage of the penitentiary-legal doctrine can be facilitated by “paradigmatic vaccinations” from the general scientific sphere. Penitentiary science should take into account the general scientific achievements expressed in the relevant paradigmatic theories: – phenomenology and liberalism will make it possible to free oneself from the totalitarian shackles, to look at the problems of execution of punishments “from scratch”; – the libertarian legal concept is able to make a positive contribution to the sphere of the execution of punishments, giving a certain scope to reasonable initiative; – in the context of the synergetic paradigm attention can be drown to the spontaneous selforganization of the sphere of the execution of punishments in connection with the imbalance of punishment and correction as the essential aspects of criminal punishment; – the application of the hermeneutic paradigm will make it possible to approach from new interpretative positions to various areas of the penal policy; – the use of the approaches of postclassical jurisprudence will make it possible to consider penal activity not as a permanently ideal system, but as a type of legal activity that needs constant attention and requires constant improvement.

The article reveals the legal foundations of the activities of the Main Directorate of Places of Detention of the Ministry of Justice created by the Provisional Government of Russia on April 26, 1917. The authors examine in detail the process of drafting the General Prison Instruction by the General Directorate of Places of Detention. Its peculiarity was the fact that this work was delegated to employees of the penal system and prosecutors in a number of regions, therefore, the interests of prison staff and the problems they faced in practice were taken into account. As a result on the basis of local lawmaking the development of the main normative legal act regulating the regime and conditions for the execution of sentences in the country as a whole was carried out. The strategy for preparing a new version of the General Prison Instruction with the help of the initiatives of the regional prison officials was of great importance. At present the problem of improving the institution of social patronage over released convicts is urgent. The accumulated experience of introducing measures of public patronage and patronage during the period of the Provisional Government’s activity should be studied in detail with a view to possible borrowing into the activities of the bodies of the Russian penal system.

From a critical standpoint two major works devoted to fiction in criminal law are considered, problems of logical, technical and categorical-terminological nature in their content are identified, which complicate the further study of fiction in this branch of law.

The immune system is a complex human mechanism that performs a wide range of effector functions, as well as powerful and not yet well-understood regulatory processes are involved in its activities. Phagocytosis is one of the oldest defense mechanisms (paleoimmunity). More evolutionarily young is the mechanism of cellular immunity (neoimmunity). T-lymphocytes mature in the thymus and are divided into: T-suppressors, T-killers, T-helpers and differ in function and surface antigens. Domestic and foreign authors indicate that evolutionarily young Ts cells play a large role in regulating the response, both cellular and humoral immunity. In a number of sources, the authors indicate that northerners of different age and socio-professional groups have an increased level of immunosuppression. The literature over the past 30 years has shown that in extreme conditions, an increase in the concentrations of CD8 +, CD16 + cells is necessary in the formation of an adaptive immune response
