Authors: Krizdiana Usqi
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can expand as the risk factors increase that increase the transmission of STIs, including having unprotected sexual contact with multiple partners, having a history of STIs, having a history of sexual violence, alcohol use, prostitution, having sexual partners who have sexual contact. additional and concomitant or have a history of previous STIs, drug use, and use of intravenous drugs. This study aimed to present the characteristics of sexually transmitted infections in Tanggul Health Center, Jember Regency, Indonesia.
Methods: This study is a descriptive observational study. A total of 52 research subjects participated in this study. Analysis of variable characteristics was carried out univariately with SPSS version 25.
Results: The highest prevalence of STIs was gonorrhea, namely 20 people (38.46%), the age group with the most STIs, namely 25-49 years, as many as 36 people (69.23%), sex of STI sufferers the most were men, 37 people (71.15%) and the risk factors for experiencing STIs that were most common were customers of sex workers, 31 people (59.61%).
Conclusion: This study revealed the characteristics of STI patients at Tanggul Health Center. Gonorrhea was the highest prevalence STI and most of patients were male and had sexual contact history with prostitutes.
Tutorial 36b: the sauropod axis in detail, illustrated by Camarasaurus
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: September 2023

When I visited Dinosaur National Monument in October with Brian Engh and Yara Haridy, we spent a decent amount of time checking out DNM 28, a skull and associated bits of  Camarasaurus  . In particular, I got some shots of the axis (the second cervical vertebra behind the head), and it got me thinking about pneumaticity in this unusual element.

When I started this series, it wasn’t going to be a series at all. I thought it was going to be a single post, hence the title that refers to all three of Jensen’s 1985 sauropods even though most of the posts so far have been only about  Supersaurus  . The tale seems to have grown in the telling. But we really are getting towards the end now.

I don’t know if this exists in the US, but here in Britain it’s common for kids in Year 11 at school (age 15 or 16) to have a week allocated where they find a position (usually unpaid) and do some work outside the school. It’s called “work experience”. A friend of a friend has a son that age, and he wants to be a palaeontologist. I was asked if I had any advice.

Conservation laws, exact solutions and nonlinear dispersion: A lie symmetry approach
Authors: Shamaoon Adnan , Ali Zartab , Maqbool Qaisar
Published: September 2023

In this study, we investigated a set of equations that exhibit compact solutions and nonlinear dispersion. We used the classical lie symmetry approach to derive ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that are well suited for qualitative study. By examining the dynamic behavior of these ODEs, we gained insights into the intricate nature of the underlying system. We also used a powerful multiplier approach to establish nontrivial conservation laws and exact solutions for these equations. These conservation laws provide essential information regarding the underlying symmetries and invariants of the system, and shed light on its fundamental properties.
Theory of gyroscopic effects for rotating objects
Authors: Usubamatov Ryspek
Published: September 2023

Scientists began to study gyroscopic effects at the time of the Industrial Revolution. Famous mathematician L. Euler described only one gyroscopic effect, which is the precession torque that does not explain other ones. Since those times, scientists could not explain the physics of gyroscopic effects, Recent studies and the method of causal investigatory dependency demonstrated, that the nature of gyroscopic effects turned out that be more sophisticated than contemplated by researchers. The external torque acting on the spinning objects generates the system of the eight inertial torques and their interrelated motions around axes presented in the 3D coordinate system. The interrelated torques and motions of the spinning disc were described by mathematical models, and validated by practical tests that explain the physics of the gyroscopic effects based on the kinetic energy conservation law. The inertial torques generated by the centrifugal, and Coriolis forces, the change in the angular momentum, and the dependent motions of the spinning object around axes constitute the fundamental principles of the gyroscope theory. The derived gyroscopic theory opened a new chapter in the dynamics of rotating objects of classical mechanics that should be presented in all word encyclopedias.
Norm of the Hermite-Fejér interpolative operator with derivatives of variable order
Authors: Fedotov Alexander
Published: September 2023

A new definition of a variable order derivative is given. It is based on interpolation of integer order differentiation operators. An interpolation operator of the Hermite-Fejér type is built to jointly interpolate the function and its derivative of variable order. The upper estimate of the norm of this operator is obtained. This norm has been shown to be limited.

The field of artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving, and there has been an interest in its use to predict the risk of lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer. Accurately predicting lymph node invasion may result in fewer patients undergoing unnecessary surgeries; conversely, inadequate assessments will result in suboptimal oncological outcomes. This narrative review aims to summarize the current literature on deep learning for predicting the probability of lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer, highlighting areas of potential application and barriers that may limit its generalizability and clinical utility.

In order to determine the added value of the product, characterization of sheep milk and cheese samples from Sjenica sheep were assessed and compared to British milk sheep. The analyses were carried out according to standard chemical procedures. A comparative study showed that the milk from the Sjenica sheep was higher in fat and protein and had a lower casein/fat ratio. It also had higher total and somatic cell counts than British milk sheep. Sjenica cheese had significantly higher dry matter and fat content. However, both cheeses were classified as soft full-fat cheese with brine. The study showed that sheep's milk contains many essential components for cheesemaking and distinguishes sheep's cheese from other types of cheese, but standardisation of cheese production is still needed. To preserve the autochthonous sheep breeds of Serbia, promoting cheese production with added value is crucial and together with increased production could contribute to the sustainable development of rural areas.

Published: September 2023

Zemplin Rabbit and Liptov Bold-Spotted Rabbit are Slovak national breeds. Our aim was to characterize the sperm quality of these two breeds, as these characteristics are important for artificial insemination and cryopreservation as biodiversity conservation tools. For this evaluation, sperm samples of sexually mature Zemplin Rabbit (ZR) males (n = 6) and Liptov Bold-Spotted Rabbits (LR) (n = 4) were used. According to progressive motility (PM) data (CASA), samples were divided into two groups: A (>30% PM) and B (<30% PM). In addition to PM (ZR-A: 48.6±3.8%, ZR-B: 16±3.2%, LR-A: 35.38±2.6%, LR-B: 4±2.2%), total motility (TM) (ZR-A: 69.1±4.1%, ZR-B: 35.5±4.1%, LR-A: 59.1±3%, LR-B: 26.9±4.1%) and morphological abnormalities (ZR-A: 29.7±1.2%, ZR-B: 40±4%, LR-A: 34.3±4.3%, LR-B: 48.3±4.7%) were also assessed using the CASA system. The proportion of dead/live, apoptotic and oxidative damaged spermatozoa (Spz) was assessed by flow cytometry using fluorescent dyes: SYBR-14, Sytox Green, Yo-Pro-1 and CellROX Green, respectively. The results of flow cytometry correspond to the values of motility and morphometry. Sperm with PM less than 30% does not show proper quality values, while the sperm with PM higher than 30% is suitable for further analysis and use.
Slovenian Learners` Knowledge about Slovenian Native Livestock Breeds
Authors: ŽAN Metka
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we present the results of the study on Slovenian learners` knowledge of native livestock breeds in Slovenia. We surveyed a total of 164 young learners, aged 12 to 15, from three elementary schools in rural areas using a questionnaire. They were asked if they had ever heard the term native breed and what the term Slovenian native breed meant. On the list of 23 livestock breeds, they had to tick the Slovenian native breeds. Finally, learners were asked to list their most common sources of information about Slovenian native breeds. The results of the study show that most learners had already heard the term native breed. Moreover, the learners know best that the Lipizza horse and the Carniolan bee are Slovenian native breeds. However, they do not know that the Bosnian mountain horse is also a native breed on Slovenian territory. Few learners recognised the Drežnica goat and the Cika cattle as Slovenian native breeds. Television and Internet are the most important sources of information about native breeds, while school education obviously does not play a role.

भारतीय समाज व्यवस्था जन्म, जाति, वर्ण, धर्म पर आधारित है, जो असमानता पैदा करती है। आज भी इस समाज में जाति के आधार पर व्यक्ति को सम्मान दिया जाता है तो अन्य व्यक्ति को जाति के आधार पर अपमानित किया जाता है। ई.पू. 10वीं सदी के आसपास ब्राह्मण और क्षत्रिय निजी उच्चता प्रस्थापित करने के लिए पारस्परिक युद्ध एवं संघर्ष करते रहे, बाद में पराजित क्षत्रिय वर्ण के राज्यों के जनसमूह को ब्राह्मणों ने यज्ञोपवीत संस्कार बन्द कर दिये, इससे पराजित क्षत्रिय अपवित्र हो गये, जिसमें से शूद्र वर्ण का जन्म हुआ, जो आज का शिल्पकार वर्ग एवं श्रमजीवी समाज है।
भारतीय शिक्षा दर्शन में गिजूभाई बधेका का व्यक्तित्व एवं कृतित्व

गिजूभाई बधेका का जीवन बाल-शिक्षा के प्रति बहुत अधिक संवेदनशील था। उनके जीवन पर माता-पिता के अतिरिक्त महात्मा गांधी के विचारों का भी प्रभाव था। वह हमेशा शिक्षारूपी दर्पण में दर्शन को देखने का प्रयास करते थे। प्राथमिक शिक्षा के अनुभव का प्रभाव उनके जीवनदर्शन में स्पष्ट दिखाई पड़ता है। उनका विचार था कि शिक्षा ही जीवन की निरन्तरता का वह आधार है, जो युगों-युगों तक विकास का पथ-प्रदर्शक के रूप में हमारे समक्ष रहेगा। इसी आदर्श की स्थापना का प्रयास उन्होंने अपनी वकालत के पेशे को छोड़कर किया और आजीवन उसे और पुष्पित-पल्लवित करने का साहस किया। बचपन में शिक्षा को वह भयमुक्त, डाँट-डपट, मार-पीट से इतर प्यार-दुलार के साथ शिक्षा प्रदान करने के पक्षधर रहे। वास्तव में उन्होंने इसी आदर्श को आत्मसात करके समाज को नयी दिशा प्रदान की। गिजूभाई शिक्षा पद्धति के संगठन में बालक को एक महत्त्वपूर्ण मानव के रूप में अपने शिक्षा-सिद्धान्त के आधार पर बालक के व्यक्तित्व के सर्वांगीण विकास का प्रयास किया था।

वाल्मीकि एवं उनकी कृति ‘रामायण’ (आदि महाकाव्य) का काल सुनिश्चित करना विद्वानों के लिए एक चुनौतीपूर्ण कार्य है। विविध मतमतान्तरों के मध्य एक आम धारणा है कि महर्षि वाल्मीकि का काल उत्तर वैदिक काल (1000-600ई0पू0) एवं रामायण का रचनाकाल पाणिनि से पूर्व (500ई0पू0) निर्धारित करना समीचीन प्रतीत होता है।

        भारत में दूत व्यवस्था अति प्राचीन है। संभवतः लोक में राज्य व्यवस्था के निर्माण के साथ ही दूत की आवश्यकता का अनुभव किया गया होगा। सभी राजशास्त्रियों ने राजा के कर्त्तव्य पालन हेतु दूत की उपयोगिता का कथन किया है। ‘दूत’ राज्य का एक आवश्यक अंग समझा जाता था। दूत का शारीरिक संगठन चाहे जैसा भी हो उसे तो केवल ‘दौत्यकर्म’ मे निपुण होना चाहिए।

The role of modelling in planning and budgeting for South Africa’s COVID-19 response
Authors: Silal Sheetal P , Pulliam Juliet , Jamieson Lise , Nichols Brooke , Moultrie Harry , Meyer-Rath Gesine
Published: September 2023

The unprecedented health response to the South African COVID-19 epidemic saw expert virologists, clinicians, epidemiologists and modellers coming together to provide scientific insight and expertise in the management of the epidemic. One such group was the South African COVID-19 Modelling Consortium, established in late March 2020 to support government’s planning and budgeting for COVID-19-related health care. Here we report on the approach taken to modelling cases, hospital admissions, deaths and costs in a situation of substantial uncertainty, the processes supported by the models, and the lessons learnt for future pandemics.

We developed two tools: the National COVID-19 Epi Model (NCEM) and the National COVID-19 Cost Model (NCCM). The NCEM is a stochastic compartmental transmission model developed to project incidence of COVID-19 across the provinces (and later, districts) of South Africa. The model follows a generalised Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed structure accounting for disease severity (asymptomatic, mild, severe and critical cases) and treatment pathways (out-patient and in-patient [ICU and non-ICU care]). The NCCM uses NCEM outputs and information on likely need for and baseline availability of resources such as human resources at all care levels, oxygen, oxygen delivery devices, SARS CoV-2 tests, infection control and prevention infrastructure, and public-sector costs to project the total COVID-19 resource needs and budget impact.

Between March and September 2020, we created 38 sets of updates to the models which were shared with stakeholders in the National and Provincial Departments of Health, National Treasury and other partners. We published four sets of short- and long-term NCEM projections and the model code, and created an online dashboard with data and visualisations of all outputs. NCCM results were used to inform the COVID-19 Special Adjustment Budget. Regularly updated assumptions included contact and mobility rates, case fatality, severity, types of hospital care and length of stay, resource availability, costs, and the impact of behavioural factors such as adherence to restrictions. The South African COVID-19 epidemic provided an opportunity for disease modelling to be a source of scientific evidence for decision-making.
Test-Trace strategy for disease control and management: South Africa’s control measures to contain the spread of COVID-19

This chapter provides a critical examination of South Africa’s COVID-19 testing and contact tracing response, including emerging successes and weaknesses.

Lessons emerging from South Africa’s COVID-19 testing and contact tracing strategy highlight the importance of rapid roll-out of community screening and testing across the country, robust implementation of public health measures, and leveraging existing healthcare services such as the deployment of existing Community Health Workers.

The absence of a standardised national information system to support contact tracing efforts, long turnaround times and backlogs in testing, and low uptake of digital solutions such as the COVIDConnect and COVID Alert Apps, were noted as some of the challenges of the process.

New considerations to take into account in planning for any future outbreaks include ways to enhance intersectoral approaches and integrate with other community surveillance systems, how to rationalise health workforce redistribution during surge periods by prioritising cases, and the use of technology solutions to manage data.
The ‘just transition’ and health in South Africa
Authors: Irlam James , Euripidou Rico , Phomane Mafoko , Rangunwala Azeeza
Published: September 2023

Background

South Africa’s long history of dependence on coal-fired power has had severe impacts on climate, environmental health, and public health. Global pressures and local demands for a planned just transition in South Africa have been growing. People are calling for a transition to clean renewable energy that optimises socio-economic and local ecological benefits. The Just Transition Open Agenda is a contribution to the national debate by the Life After Coal civil society campaign. The Open Agenda proposes radical changes leading to a new health system for all. This is needed, especially to address the differential and continual health impacts of unsafe levels of air pollution especially where most of South Africa’s coal-fired power stations are located.

Approach

This paper reviews South Africa’s climate change response and the role that the healthcare sector (as a significant source of emissions and environmental pollution) can play in reducing global carbon emissions and helping societies to adapt and become more ‘climate resilient’. The chapter considers some of the recommendations for public health within the just transition movement in South Africa, with a particular focus on the heavily polluted Highveld Priority Area in Mpumalanga, and the implications of these recommendations for the healthcare sector.

Conclusions

A comprehensive public health plan for the Highveld Priority Area, guided by the principles of communication, collaboration, and active participation, would begin to provide some measure of restorative justice for the communities most affected by coal-related pollution. The plan should include effective health surveillance and air pollution early-warning systems, community outreach programmes, and well-resourced and accessible public health facilities prepared to deal with respiratory emergencies. The Global Green and Healthy Hospitals network agenda’s 10 goals towards ‘climate-smart’ health care, which provide practical guidance for achieving sustainable, low-carbon, and climate-resilient health systems must be urgently pursued as part of global and local efforts towards greater climate justice and health equity.
