Urinary schistosomiasis is considered a major public health parasitic disease in African communities. Prior to this study, Nsugbe community was not considered endemic for the disease and as such was not involved in Praziquantel-Preventive Chemotherapy (PC). Longitudinal study of 281 consented pupils aged 5-16 years was carried out with aim of determining the status of urinary schistosomiasis. Urinalysis laboratory test strip, urine filtration technique and syndromic diagnosis were used for the confirmation of the presence of haematuria in urine samples, identification of Schistosoma haematobium ova and the confirmation of female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), respectively. Risk factors for urinary schistosomiasis infection were determined using pre-tested structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Minitab 17 software and intensity of infection categorized following World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. Of the 281 pupils, 117 (42%) were males and 164 (58%) were females with mean age of 9 years. At baseline, an overall prevalence of 0.4% (1/281) which was of light intensity was established. At follow-up, an overall prevalence of 2.1% (6/281) which was of both light (16.7%) and heavy infection (83.3%) was established. The result of the clinical examination showed eggs of S. haematobium in and around the vaginal area indicating FGS of a female pupil aged 12 years. This was treated. Identified risk factors for S. haematobium infection in the community include water-contact activities, ignorance, source of water supply among others. The study revealed the need for an all inclusive mass administration of Praziquantel-PC in the study community for effective control and possible elimination.

Published: October 2021

Trypanosomiasis is a re-emerging neglected tropical disease, afflicting domestic, wild animals and humans. In this study, the tsetse fly infectivity and species composition of Trypanosoma species were determined in Kagarko Local Government Area, Kaduna State Nigeria using entomological protocol. The tsetse flies were sampled using standard biconical traps and the flies collected were dissected for trypanosome using microscopy as well as expression of tsetse antigen 5 (TAg 5) using molecular tools. Forty seven (47) tsetse flies were collected over a period of four months, of which 13 (34.21%) were infected with Trypanosoma spp. The species of trypanosome identified include T. vivax 7(53.85%), T. congolense 5(38.46%) and T. brucei 1(7.69%), while expression of TAg 5 was observed in four of the examined flies. The presence of the flies with trypanosome of veterinary and medical importance  demonstrate the risk of transmission of trypanosomiasis in the study area.
Finlandization, Neutrality, or Kekkoslovakia? Paasikivi–Kekkonen’s Line in Finnish Discourses 30 Years after the End of the Cold War
Authors: Lanko D. A.
Published: October 2021

Although the Cold War ended thirty years ago, the Paasikivi–Kekkonen’s line, which characterized Finland’s foreign and domestic politics in the Cold War era, remains an essential element of various competing discourses in the country. This article is based on a study of the “Paasikivi–Kekkonen’s line” concept as a fl oating signifi er frequently used in competing Finnish discourses, including those on the Finnish–Russian relations, on the Finnish foreign policy strategy, and on Finnish domestic politics. The discourse on the relations with Russia involves the proponents of continuing with the Paasikivi–Kekkonen’s line aiming at transforming Russia’s geographical proximity into an opportunity for Finland, and those who oppose this line on the grounds that in the Cold War era it resulted in a shameful “Finlandization” of the country. The Finnish discourse on the country’s foreign policy strategy involves those who argue in favor of continuing with the Paasikivi–Kekkonen’s line, of which the core was neutrality in the Cold War era and is non-alignment today, and those in favor of giving up with non-alignment to choose the NATO option. The article discovers that Sweden plays a critical role in this discourse than Russia. Finally, the Finnish discourse on the country’s domestic politics involves those in favor of continuing with the Paasikivi–Kekkonen’s line, of which the core is consensual politics, and those who support the transition to more transparent, albeit inevitably partisan politics.

Reabilitação em osteoartrite
Authors: Jones Anamaria
Published: October 2021

Osteoartrite (OA) é considerada a doença musculoesquelética mais comum em todo o mundo, acometendo 20% da população mundial; tem evolução lenta, podendo levar à rigidez articular, deformidade progressiva e perda de função, afetando a qualidade de vida do indivíduo.
A prevalência da OA é alta, no entanto, sua incidência é baixa antes dos 40 anos e aumenta com a idade; cerca de 30% dos indivíduos com 65 anos ou mais apresentam evidências radiológicas de OA de joelho, mesmo sem presença de sinais e sintomas; cerca de 80% dos indivíduos com mais de 75 anos apresentam alguma evidência de OA. Sua distribuição é muito parecida em ambos os gêneros, mas com maior prevalência na mulher acima dos 50 anos.
Estatísticas preveem que, nos próximos 20 anos, o número de indivíduos afetados pela doença nos Estados Unidos poderá aumentar de aproximadamente 43 milhões para 60 milhões, aumentando os gastos com doenças crônicas em mais de 25%.
No Brasil, estima-se que 4% da população apresente OA; as articulações mais acometidas pela OA são: joelho, mãos e coluna.
O tratamento da OA deve ser realizado de maneira ideal por uma equipe multidisciplinar formada por reumatologista, ortopedista, fisioterapeuta, terapeuta ocupacional, educador físico, nutricionista e psicólogo. Dessa forma, cada profissional em sua especialidade pode contribuir para o tratamento. Apesar dos sinais e sintomas parecidos, com o tempo cada paciente estará em uma fase específica da doença e deve-se, portanto, levar em consideração cada particularidade, propondo-se um tratamento individualizado. Apesar do tratamento individualizado, os objetivos são semelhantes e normalmente envolvem o alívio da dor, a prevenção e/ou manutenção das deformidades e disfunções e a melhora da qualidade de vida e capacidade funcional.

Diagnóstico diferencial das miopatias autoimunes sistêmicas
Authors: Silva André Macedo Serafim da , Zanoteli Edmar
Published: October 2021

As miopatias são um grupo heterogêneo de doenças que comprometem o tecido muscular esquelético, classificadas em formas hereditárias e adquiridas (Tabela 1). Na prática clínica, as causas adquiridas podem ser facilmente identificadas com uma anamnese direcionada, buscando história de uso de medicações e exposições potencialmente tóxicas ao músculo, bem como através de exames clínicos laboratoriais, para investigação de condições infecciosas e endocrinopatias. Entretanto, o ponto crítico é a diferenciação das miopatias inflamatórias (miopatias autoimunes sistêmicas) com as miopatias genéticas, especialmente as distrofias musculares e as miopatias metabólicas. Revisaremos as condições hereditárias mais comuns na prática clínica para o reumatologista e o neurologista geral.

Authors: Singh Ram
Published: October 2021

An investigation on the resource use efficiency of pig farming was carried out in the Mylliem and Mawphlang blocks of the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. A multistage purposive and random sampling procedure was used for the study. Primary data were collected from a sample of 66 pig farmers. Analysis of resource use efficiency has shown that the sum of elasticities of production is 33.79, which indicated an increasing return to scale operating in the pig farms under study. Among the various resources selected for the study price of piglet and concentrated feed were found to be significant for returns per pig, and other factors of production like fodder, total human labor, veterinary aid, and medicine were found to be insignificant. Resource use efficiency ratio (r) for piglet price and concentrated feed was greater unity showing that these resources were underutilized and increment in their usage would lead to maximization of profit. The results revealed further scope to invest in quality breed piglets and feed to enhance the pig farmers’ profit in the state.

Model Fasilitasi Peningkatan Kompetensi Guru (Sebuah Gagasan Penelitian & Pengembangan)
Authors: Yanawati Hj.
Published: October 2021

Kompetensi guru merupakan faktor penting bagi keberhasilan upaya meningkatkan mutu pendidikan. Standar kompetensi guru meliputi kompetensi paedagogik, kepribadian, profesional, sosial, spiritual dan leadership. Sejalan dengan tantangan kehidupan global, maka peran dan tanggung jawab guru pada masa mendatang akan semakin kompleks, sehingga menuntut guru senantiasa melakukan berbagai peningkatan dan penyesuaian penguasaan kompetensinya.

Untuk menambah standar kualitas guru, Kemendikbud akan mengajukan tiga pola pembinaan guru, yaitu uji kompetensi, penilaian kinerja (PKG), dan diklat secara berkelanjutan dan berjenjang (PKB). Salah satu dari sekian banyak kegiatan PKB untuk pengembangan diri adalah kegiatan yang dilakukan oleh guru secara mandiri dan yang dilakukan oleh guru bekerja sama dengan guru lain dalam satu sekolah. Pelaksanaan kegiatan ini relatif lebih mandiri dan berbeda-beda antara satu guru dengan guru yang lain dalam satu sekolah, maupun antar satu sekolah dengan sekolah lain.

Secara teknis kegiatan ini juga tidak diatur secara baku, hal ini sangat mungkin akan menimbulkan berbagai kendala bagi guru, bahkan mungkin dapat muncul kerancuan. Kesemuannya ini dikhawatirkan akan mengakibatkan hal yang kontra produktif, khususnya yang terkait dengan pencapaian standar-standar peningkatan kompetensi guru yang seharusnya dipenuhi sesuai kebutuhan. Untuk meminimalisasi berbagai kekuaran yang ada, maka diperlukan model yang dapat memfasilitasi kegiatan ini secara komprehensip, sehingga pelaksanaannya dapat lebih terstandar.

Gagasan ini merupakan gagasan penelitian menggunakan jenis Penelitian dan Pengembangan Pendidikan/research and development (R&D). Model yang digunakan adalah R&D model Borg &Gall, yang meliputi sepuluh langkah yaitu: (1) Research and Information Collection, (2) Planning, (3) Develop Preliminary form Product, (4) Preliminary Fieild Testing, (5) Main Product Revision, (6) Main Field Testing, (7) Operational Produc Revision, (8) Operational Field Testing, (9) Final Product Revision, and (10) Disemination and Implementasi.

Authors: AGBOLOSU ANTHONY AMISON
Published: October 2021

This study was conducted to characterise carcass traits of domestic pigeons in the northern region of Ghana. Data was collected on 30 matured domestic pigeons consisting of 15 males and 15 females from six plumage colour varieties. These birds were intensively managed and fed with broiler mash. The pigeons were slaughtered according to standard abattoir procedures and carcass parameters recorded were preslaughter weight, dressed weight, deplumed weight, breast weight, thigh weight, back weight, wing weight, drumstick weight and giblets (whole heart weight, liver and gizzard) weight. Carcass data were analyzed using the GLM of SPSS to investigate the effect of sex and plumage colour variety on carcass measurements. Pigeon lost 11.6% of live body weight after bleeding. The effect of sex was found to be a significant (p<0.05) source of variation for preslaughter weight, dressed weight and heart weight. Except for back, lung and gizzard weights on which plumage colour varieties had significant effect (p < 0.05), all other carcass parameters were not influenced (P > 0.05) by plumage colour variety. In conclusion, male pigeons generally had significantly higher carcass characteristics (pre-slaughter weight, dressed weight and heart weight) than their female counterparts irrespective of the colour varieties in various parts of the northern region.
The Untapped Potential of Clinical Data Management in Ukraine A Novel Training Program Case Study
Authors: Glushakov Sergey , Boichuk Volodymyr
Published: October 2021

As a populous Eastern European country with a strong medical education system, Ukraine has the potential to become a key player in the field of clinical data management, targeting international clinical research organizations and life science companies worldwide. At present, the country has been slow to develop independent clinical research and biotech sectors, and as a result there is a shortage of clinical data management specialists in the country. This article reviews the current state of clinical research in Ukraine, and discusses a novel industry-led training program to increase the pipeline of clinical data managers by retraining healthcare professionals. This is an opportunity for the private sector to attract the brightest professionals and transition them into new careers such as clinical data management. Further expansion of these training programs to more comprehensive education settings in partnership with local universities will enable growth in Ukraine’s academic, biomedical, and clinical research sectors. 
Vulneraciones y acceso a los sistemas de protección de los derechos de la niñez y adolescencia inmigrante no acompañada en España y El Salvador
Authors: Serrano Sánchez Lucía
Published: October 2021

En esta tesis se pretende mostrar los límites del discurso de los derechos humanos desde el punto de vista de la inmigración y el derecho de extranjería, y, además, hacer el esfuerzo de un estudio de derecho comparado. Se centra en los menores inmigrantes, y más tarde, en los MENA Los nueve objetivos que alcanzar en esta investigación son los siguientes: 1. Demostrar que los sistemas de protección en materia de derechos humanos en los Estados están diseñados para adultos y nacionales, ocupando los menores una posición secundaria y no relevante en el desarrollo de los sistemas de garantías para el uso y ejercicio de los derechos. Un problema que se agrava en el caso de los niños, niñas, adolescentes inmigrantes, y más aún en el caso de los no acompañados; 2. Realizar una propuesta alternativa al modelo actual de ciudadanía, en la que tenga cabida la ciudadanía juvenil, incluidos los MENA que permanezcan en España. 3. Justificar por qué la regulación jurídica nacional no debería referirse a estos menores extranjeros como «MENA», sino como «niñas, niños y adolescentes privados de su entorno familiar», y por qué debería considerarse el hecho de no estar acompañado de sus padres, madres o una persona adulta responsable como una situación de vulnerabilidad generada por el propio Estado de acogida y no una categoría jurídica. 4. Analizar críticamente la evolución del discurso de los derechos humanos de la niñez y adolescencia en los distintos ámbitos de gobernanza de los derechos humanos, con el fin de desprenderlos de todas aquellas etiquetas jerarquizantes respecto a lo humano y la migración. El fin último es otorgarles a todos los niños, niñas y adolescentes la dignidad y reconocimiento que se merecen cualquiera que sea la situación en la que se encuentren 5. Identificar quiénes son las y los MENA que recogen de manera trasversal los instrumentos jurídicos coexisten en todos los ámbitos de gobernanza de los derechos humanos de la niñez, y los modelos de referencia que subyacen en ellos 6. Mostrar la problemática en torno a la tutela y representación de los y las MENA en España y en El Salvador en relación con el acceso a derechos esenciales como son, por ejemplo, el asilo, el estatus de víctima de trata, debido proceso, reunificación familiar y trabajo. 7. Evidenciar la vulnerabilidad sustantiva y jurídica de los menores inmigrantes no acompañados proveniente del sistema de protección de menores vigente en España y El Salvador. 8. Exhibir los múltiples factores de vulnerabilidad de las y los MENA y la subordiscriminación de estos. 9. Plantear, en forma de propuesta de ley, garantías procesales y medidas de protección específicas para el colectivo MENA capaces de acabar con cada una de las vulnerabilidades creadas a estos menores. Para el cumplimiento de los anteriores objetivos, hemos estructurado este trabajo de investigación en tres capítulos y un apartado de conclusiones donde se recoge una propuesta de lege ferenda.
Ground Improvement By Using Coir Geo-Textile
Authors: Issac R. A. Joshia , Bharathu A. , Ramadevi Dr. K.
Published: October 2021

For the design of pavement structure the subgrade soil and its properties are important as it gives adequate support to the pavement. To increase the life of pavement the subgrade must be able to support loads transmitted from pavement structure without excessive deformation under adverse climatic and traffic conditions. For using the soil as a good quality pavement material, it is a well-known fact that all soils do not possess all the desirable qualities. The subgrade performance of such soils should be increased by several modification techniques, when such soils cannot be replaced. Among that providing reinforcement to improve subgrade soil nowadays is widely adopted. Nowadays many reinforcing techniques are used to reinforce the soil, among that coir geotextile is most widely used. As it is a natural geotextile it needs treatment to improve the durability. In this study woven coir geotextile are used as soil reinforcement to improve the subgrade soil. The improvement in CBR value when coir geotextile placed at different depth in CBR mould is studied. The coir geocells with an aspect ratio of 0.75, 1 and 1.33 is used. The maximum improvement in CBR value is obtained when geotextile is placed at 1/3H. The CBR value improved when treated coir geotextile is used and the percentage improvement is 66.8% for coir geotextiles placed 1/3H and the percentage increase for treated coir geocells when placed at 1/3H is 37.5%. The optimum height of coir geocells is obtained at an aspect ratio of 1.
Hoe je moeder te vermoorden?
Authors: Lardinois André
Published: October 2021

In this paper I argue for a psychological reading of the Electra of Euripides. The negative qualifications of Clytaemnestra by the farmer, the chorus and the old man strengthen the conviction of Electra and Orestes that they have no choice but to kill their mother, so that in the first half of the play they only consider how to do it, not if they should do it. Their conviction is challenged when Clytaemnestra arrives on stage in the fourth episode and is allowed to defend herself, but only radically changes after they have committed the murder. Then they come, as it were, to their senses and the chorus too sees their actions in a different light. To shed light on the processes at play, I draw comparisons with such modern concepts as ‘peer pressure’ and ‘tunnel vision’ and discuss the jealousy Electra seems to feel for her mother, which fuels her anger. As a starting point, the introduction explains the democratic qualities of the genre of tragedy, in particular the way it asked the original audience to judge the characters on stage in the same way as they had to judge plaintiffs or the accused in the Athenian law courts.
Het schild van Achilles in Euripides’
Authors: van Uum Paul
Published: October 2021

This article examines the first stasimon of Euripides’ Electra, which contains a description of the shield of Achilles. After an introduction on the choral ode, the shield of Achilles is subjected to archaeological analysis. This analysis focuses on the question whether the decorative emblems on the shield are realistic or fantastic. The question is, in other words, whether this shield could appear on the archaic-classical battlefield. Important in this discussion is also to what extent the shield design is influenced by the description of Achilles’ shield in Iliad 18. The article ends with a literary interpretation of the shield emblems, relating for instance the images of Perseus and the Gorgon, the sun and stars, as well as the Sfinx and the Chimaera to the events in the plot.
Geef leerlingen ruimte om de Aeneis te interpreteren
Authors: Adema Suzanne
Published: October 2021

The interpretation of Greek and Latin texts is one of the learning objectives of the Dutch secondary school curriculum in Greek and Latin languages and cultures. In this context, ‘interpretation’ entails both the skill to find meaning in Greek and Latin texts yourself and knowledge of existing interpretations. This article aims to combine these two aspects of interpretation when teaching Virgil’s Aeneid. I suggest that a narratological approach of space enables students to interpret the text themselves, while it subsequently enables their teachers to give insight into existing interpretations and academic discussions of the poem.
Cicero’s defence of Sextus Roscius and the Sullan res publica
Authors: Steel Catherine
Published: October 2021

The approach Cicero takes in his defence of Sextus Roscius forces him to discuss recent political events, above all the proscriptions and Sulla’s position as dictator. This is a deliberate choice by Cicero, which does not prevent him from constructing an effective defence but allows him to combine that defence with the articulation of a vision for the Sullan res publica. This vision does not conflict with any of Sulla’s acts, but allows Cicero to argue that more work needs to be done to secure Sulla’s achievement and to suggest that he, despite his youth and lack of experience, can be part of the res publica towards which he and the jurors should work.
Achtergronden bij het gebruik van het augment in Homerus
Authors: van Beek Lucien , van der Lugt Joris
Published: October 2021

The function of the augment in Homer is a widely discussed issue in Greek linguistics. The traditional view that the Homeric augment is a temporal marker, just like in Classical Greek, has been questioned during the last decades. This article first summarizes the most relevant observations that have been made and evaluates their strengths and weaknesses. First of all, the high frequency of the augment on the aorist in gnomes and similes, but also when the current result of a past action is highlighted, suggests that the augment does not refer to a past event. The type of discourse, moreover, correlates with the frequency of the augment: it is used relatively often in similes and character speech, but not in narrative. This is why the function of the augment has in recent years been interpreted as deictic (Bakker) or pragmatic (Mumm). In our view, metrical considerations and morphological restrictions influence the use of the augment rather heavily, but if that is taken into consideration, a pragmatic function of the augment seems plausible. We illustrate these points and the remaining problems by discussing augment use in three passages from the Iliad.
Waarom nedum altijd ‘laat staan’ betekent
Authors: Schrickx Josine
Published: October 2021

Nedum is comparable to English let alone, German geschweige (denn) and Dutch laat staan (dat). Like these modern counterparts it can be paraphrased with ‘much more’ or ‘much less’, depending on the context. If nedum introduces a clause, it can always be paraphrased with ‘much less’. If it introduces only part of a clause and does not have an inflected verb in its scope, the paraphrase depends on the previous clause. If this previous clause contains a semantic negation, nedum can be paraphrased with ‘much less’, if it contains a lexical or pragmatic negation or no negation at all, nedum can be paraphrased with ‘much more’.
Iconiciteit als taalkundig anker
Authors: Nijk Arjan
Published: October 2021

One of the central precepts in classical rhetorical theory is that form should match content. In many places, classical rhetoricians encourage their readers to use iconic language, which means that the speech or written discourse resembles the conceptual content in its form (for example, through sound effects, rhythmic patterns, clause length). This presupposes that the processing of the formal properties of the discourse (mainly a perceptual operation) interferes with the processing of the linguistic meaning it conveys (a conceptual operation). The question is how this interaction between the two types of operation can be described in linguistic terms. I argue that a meaningful answer to these questions can be given within the framework of Cognitive Linguistics. In this paradigm, iconicity can be understood as a communicative strategy whereby the depictive aspects of the discourse facilitate the processing of its conceptual meaning.
Disentangling the Role of Social Networking Attitudes and Use on Emotional Well-being
Authors: Hunt Daniel , Krishnan Archana
Published: October 2021

Scholarly research examining social networking and well-being have provided contradictory results, suggesting that further research explore the complex relationships between antecedents, behavior, and well-being outcomes. In this study, we assess how attitudes toward social networking and SNS use influence emotional well-being by surveying a sample of U.S. adults (N = 500). We apply theories of technology adoption and media choice to explicate the role of communication attitudes in predicting behavioral outcomes. The results of our structural equation model demonstrate that SNS use negatively impacts users’ emotional well-being. Social connection, ease of use, and confidence attitudes increase SNS use and have an indirect influence on well-being. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings as well as future directions for research involving frequent SNS use and emotional well-being are discussed.
Investigating the Relationship between Social Media Use, Big Five Personality, and Well-being
Authors: Bunz Ulla
Published: October 2021

This study investigates the relationship between social media use, Big Five personality traits, and subjective well-being to determine how different personality traits relate to different measures of social media use and well- being, and which variable influences well-being the most. Participants completed established measures for the Big Five personality traits, social media engagement, social media intensity, satisfaction with life, positive and negative affect, and depression. Results showed that extraversion predicted social media engagement and intensity, and social media time. Conscientiousness predicted spending less time on social media. In addition, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism predicted positive well-being stronger than did social media use. When conducting five separate regression analyses with a social media use variable and a different personality variable each time, four times (conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) the personality variable predicted negative well-being more strongly than did the social media use variable. However, negative well-being was predicted more strongly by social media use than by the fifth personality variable, openness to change. Results are discussed and possible future investigations are suggested.
Control Dimensions of Media Task-Switching and Emotional Well-being
Authors: Silva David , Brickman Jared
Published: October 2021

Frequent task-switching between communication media is ubiquitous. Recent research on the topic highlights that multiple dimensions compete to predict task performance and productivity while multitasking. However, the emotional impact of task-switching is understudied and is an important outcome for understanding communication technology use and its potential effects on people’s well-being. This research used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to gather task-switching and emotional data in real-time through a smart phone application. The emotional effect of the task control multitasking dimensions was assessed via a structural equation model. Results show attitudes toward task-switching moderate emotional valence, but arousal increases with frequency of task-switches. Furthermore, attitudes toward task-switching do not predict frequency of task-switches, contrary to assumptions made in previous research and indicating a loss of control of task-switching behaviors.
