Authors: Valantinaite Ilona , Zivile Sedereviciute-Paciauskiene Zivile
Published: March 2022

The article investigates the Baltic pre-service Technology teachers' expression of verbal creativity in their final years of study and analyzes the constituent dimension of sustainable textile consumption. The students' verbal creativity was examined using a verbal expression questionnaire compiled following the methodological recommendations of E. P. Torrance for diagnosing a person’s creativity. The development of sustainable textile consumption is part of the Technological education curriculum analyzing responsible consumption issues that are becoming more complex. In most cases, education directly depends on the educator's knowledge, skills, values, habits, experience, and communication. The present research disclosed students – pre service teachers understanding that handicrafts are not related to ethnicity, values, or a phenomenon, which calls for exceptional protection. The integral model of tasks on identification/development of verbal creativity expression and identification/development of sustainable textile consumption was presented in the article.

Authors: Abdoulaye Coulibaly
Published: March 2022

Cette contribution se propose d’étudier la gestion financière au sein des coopératives scolaires des écoles primaires publiques. A cet effet, une enquête a été menée dans des écoles primaires publiques du district d’Abidjan, auprès d’élèves de CM2, des tuteurs des coopératives scolaires, des parents d’élèves, des conseillers vie scolaire et du sous-directeur des activités coopératives et de l’éveil social. Ce sont au total 278 individus en rapport avec 85 coopératives scolaires qui ont participé à l’enquête. Les résultats de ces investigations indiquent que la gestion financière des coopératives scolaires est mauvaise. Les insuffisances de mise en application des pratiques de gestion, de la budgétisation des activités coopératives et du feedback de la gestion financière aux autres élèves en sont les raisons.

A survey was carried out in public primary school cooperatives in Abidjan district, which involved pupils in CM2, cooperative tutors, parents of pupils, school live advisers, and the sub-director of cooperative activities and social awareness. A total of 278 individuals related to 85 school cooperatives participated in the survey. The results of these investigations indicate that financial management of school cooperatives is poor. The reasons for this are insufficient application of management practices, budgeting of cooperative activities, and feedback of financial management to other pupils.
Benin Influence on Isua Chieftaincy Titles: A Historical Exploration
Authors: Faboyede Olusanya
Published: March 2022

The influence of geography and migration on group relations in the periphery border areas of northeastern Yorubaland with the Edo-speaking people cannot be over-emphasised. Migration of people profoundly influenced cultural diffusion in towns and villages in Yorubaland, including Isua in Akokoland. In spite of cultural influence of the Benin kingdom on the people of border communities in the frontier zone of northeastern Yorubaland, the available earlier scholarly works mainly focused on how cultural evolution started in Ile-Ife, and the effects on towns and villages in the forest zone of Yorubaland without examining Benin’s influence on Isua chieftaincy titles in the pre-colonial period. This omission has created a vacuum in Yoruba historiography. This is the gap this study intends to fill. The study adopts the narrative approach and critical evaluation of data collected in order to discuss Benin influence on Isua chieftaincy titles in pre-colonial period.

Authors: Kouassi Alain Kouadio , Stanislas Silvain Yao , Tanoh Marius Kamelan , Yao Aristide Konan
Published: March 2022

The length-weight relationship and condition factor of mangrove fish species in Azagny National Park (ANP) were studied, to provide baseline data of the impact of mangrove disturbances on ichthyofauna. Specimens were captured from March 2019 to February 2020 using gillnets and mesh traps. After identification, each specimen was weighed to the nearest gram and measured to the nearest millimeter. Twenty-eight species belonging to 17 families and 24 genera were selected based on their numbers (only species with at least 10 specimens were considered). Most of these species have a negative allometry (22 species, 78.57%). 14.28% species showed positive allometry and 7.14% species showed isometry. The length-weight regressions are significant with a coefficient of determination (r²) varying between 0.115 for Chrysichthys maurus and 0.936 for Labeo coubie. The coefficient of allometry b varies from 0.413 for Chrysichthys maurus to 4.272 for Labeo coubie with a mean value of 2.384 ± 0.810. The condition factor ranged on average from 0.935 ± 0.966 for Schilbe mandibularis 113.3 ± 10.644 for Chrysichthys maurus. This study provides information on the effects of mangrove disturbance on the growth of species of the said ecosystem and contributes to the management of the ichthyofauna of the ANP.

Instytucja samorządu gospodarczego w prawie polskim na tle rozwiązań krajów europejskich
Authors: Cendrowicz Dominika
Published: March 2022

W wyniku złożonych procesów historycznych w drugiej połowie XIX wieku w Europie Zachodniej i w Wielkiej Brytanii wykształciły się dwa modele samorządu gospodarczego: kontynentalny oraz anglosaski. W Polsce od chwili odzyskania niepodległości w 1918 roku toczył się spór o koncepcję samorządu. Obecnie obowiązujące regulacje prawne w zakresie samorządu gospodarczego nie pozwalają uznać go za część administracji publicznej w znaczeniu nauki prawa administracyjnego i odbiegają od tych obowiązujących w okresie międzywojennym. Przedmiotem publikacji jest analiza instytucji samorządu gospodarczego w prawie polskim na tle rozwiązań krajów europejskich. Publikacja odwołuje się także do rozwiązań obowiązujących w prawie polskim w międzywojniu.
Ewolucja postrzegania statusu ustrojowego uniwersytetu na tle poglądów Tadeusza Bigi
Authors: Lipowicz Irena
Published: March 2022

Przedmiotem opracowania jest rozważenie ewolucji instytucji Uniwersytetu na tle ostatnich zmian stanu prawnego w tym zakresie, w konfrontacji z klasyczną postacią zakładu samorządowego o charakterze samoistnym, konstrukcji wypracowanej w 1928 roku przez Tadeusza Bigę. Uniwersytet ujmowany był wtedy jako zakład publiczny, wspólnota uczonych i uczących się. Fascynacja efektywnością, podejściem menadżerskim typowym dla korporacji, w końcowych latach XX wieku oznaczała stopniowe odchodzenie od wizji Uniwersytetu jako przestrzeni wolności, autonomii akademickiej, kreatywności i samodzielności — uznanej formy decentralizacji.

W opracowaniu wskazano, na tle zróżnicowanych poglądów doktryny, na formę zakładu publicznego jako stopniowe ukształtowanie się przeważającego poglądu na uniwersytet w tym zakresie. Analizie poddano skutki prawne odchodzenia od uniwersalnej konstrukcji uniwersytetu na rzecz przyszłego dualizmu uczelni akademickich i zawodowych. Postępujące ograniczanie ich samodzielności następuje między innymi przez mnożenie mierników, wskaźników i ewaluacji, a także standaryzacji, formalnej punktacji osiągnięć naukowych. Uniwersytet, odmiennie niż w koncepcji Tadeusza Bigi, stał się „wyrazem zastrzeżonym” dla nazwy jednego z wielu rodzajów uczelni. Konkluzją artykułu jest wyrażenie przekonania o teoretycznej nośności i dalszej praktycznej przydatności omówionej uniwersalnej konstrukcji uniwersytetu jako pośredniej formy między korporacją a zakładem administracyjnym — zaproponowanej niegdyś przez Tadeusza Bigę — oraz wskazanie deficytów nowych rozwiązań legislacyjnych w odniesieniu do przyszłych zadań uniwersytetu, w czasach zarządzania w warunkach niepewności i kluczowej roli tworzenia środowiska sprzyjającego kreatywności i innowacjom.
Aksjologiczne podstawy samorządu terytorialnego
Authors: Nitecki Stanisław
Published: March 2022

Samorząd terytorialny jako zdecentralizowana forma wykonywania zadań stojących przed administracją publiczną jest zakotwiczony w postanowieniach Konstytucji RP. Instytucja ta funkcjonuje w ramach społeczności lokalnych i pozostaje w relacjach z innymi uczestnikami życia społecznego. Pozycja i zakres zadań realizowanych przez jednostki samorządu terytorialnego zależy od wartości prezentowanych przez podmiot podejmujący w tym zakresie decyzje, którym jest prawodawca. Wartości przyjmowane przez prawodawcę determinują sposób funkcjonowania i zakres zadań samorządu terytorialnego. Ich zmienność skutkuje tym, że samorząd terytorialny nie ma na trwale wyznaczonego zakresu działania. Zakres ten może być rozszerzany, ale może też ulegać zawężeniu. Wśród wartości przysługujących samorządowi terytorialnemu kluczową rolę odgrywa samodzielność. Jej zakres wyznacza miejsce i rolę tej instytucji we współczesnym społeczeństwie. Inne wartości, takie jak wolność czy równość, wynikają z samodzielności i stanowią jej istotny element. Samorząd terytorialny jest instytucją silnie zakorzenioną i posiadającą mocne podstawy funkcjonowania, jednakże miejsce i rola, jakie ma pełnić, nie mają charakteru obiektywnego i wynikają z subiektywnej oceny prawodawcy.
Związki publicznoprawne w świetle teorii rywalizacji hierarchii
Authors: Szreniawski Piotr
Published: March 2022

Rozprawa Tadeusza Bigi często staje się inspiracją do rozważań na różnorodne tematy. Jednym z nich jest to, że samorząd i władza państwowa mogą być postrzegane jako rywalizujące hierarchie, a pozycja prawna korporacji potencjalnie się wiązać z większą lub mniejszą autonomią. Administracja publiczna jest specyficzną hierarchią, odznaczającą się określoną trwałością i charakterystyczną kulturą organizacyjną, która powinna być związana z samoograniczeniem się w  zakresie rywalizacji z innymi hierarchiami.

Harvest Control Rules of Multispecies Scads (Decapterus spp.) Fishery in Blitar Waters, East Java
Authors: Harlyan Ledhyane Ika , Nabilah Shobriyyah Afifah , Setyohadi Daduk , Rahman Muhammad Arif , Pattarapongpan Supapong
Published: March 2022

Highlight ResearchThe feedback harvest control rule resulted in the lowest allowable biological catch estimation than the surplus production models.  The feedback harvest control rule adapted the recent years of historical catch data.The surplus production models might result in over or under catch estimation, not considering the recent data.This multispecies fishery could not provide species specific data as surplus production models required; therefore, it might be better to use the feedback harvest control rule that has been validated for multispecies fisheries. AbstractScads fishery in Blitar waters is a multispecies fishery applying harvest control rules (HCRs) from conventional single-species approaches which technically, may not be applicable to employ in such mixed-species data composed from the multispecies fishery. The feedback HCR is an alternative validated harvest control rule that can be applied for a multispecies fishery. The aim of this study was to technically compare the application of the feedback HCR and conventional single species approaches in terms of estimating the future allowable biological catch (ABC). Therefore, in this study, ABC was estimated by applying three HCRs, the feedback HCR, and two conventional HCRs which was based on single-species approaches applying surplus production models, Schaefer Model and Fox model into catch and effort of scads fisheries data series of 2011 – 2020. The results showed that the ABC estimation of the feedback HCR was a half lower than that of both conventional models. It was biologically safer to apply the feedback HCR to set the annual total allowable catch (TAC) than the other two HCRs. The feedback HCR presented an initial step toward sustainably managing multispecies fisheries while dealing with data-limited conditions.
Tricking the tumour microenvironment into becoming our best rational drug design factory: reversal of immune suppression
Authors: Ashdown Martin L.
Published: March 2022

The immune cellular components of the tumour microenvironment are a diverse group of cells that paradoxically are now appreciated to have a coordinated opposing duality of either promoting or retarding tumour growth. Manipulating this seemingly dynamic interaction for therapeutic benefit is a hotbed of much research. Recent findings in tumour immunology (both preclinical and clinical) build on more than a century of insights and provide a way forward to improving patient outcomes, long term survival and the predictability of “cures”. This opinion piece attempts to summarise some of these historical and contemporary insights with a view to describing eminently testable therapeutic solutions.
A critical review of the machine learning guided design of metallic glasses for superior glass-forming ability
Authors: Zhou Ziqing , Shang Yinghui , Yang Yong
Published: March 2022

The discovery of novel metallic glasses (MGs) with high glass-forming ability (GFA) has been an important area of active research for years in materials science and engineering. Unfortunately, the traditional approach based on trial-and-error methods is inefficient, time consuming and costly. Therefore, machine learning (ML) has recently drawn significant research interest as an alternative approach for the development of MGs. In this review, we discuss the current progress regarding the ML guided design of MGs from a variety of perspectives, including the GFA database, data representation, ML algorithms and numerical evaluation. Furthermore, we consider the challenges facing this field, including the scarcity and quality of GFA data, the development of physics informed data descriptors, the selection of appropriate algorithms and the necessity for experimental validation. We also briefly discuss possible solutions to tackle these challenges.

Published: March 2022

Promoting the regional educational potential strengthening, including means of meeting the teaching staff information needs is one of the priority tasks, facing the largest Novosibirsk scientific libraries. This study purpose has been to identify the character of teachers’ information addresses to the sources of the State Scientific Technological Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPSTL SB RAS) and Novosibirsk State Regional Scientific Library (NSRSL).The analysis of teachers’ information needs, based on job responsibilities and knowledge requirements according to the Unified Qualification Directory of positions of managers, specialists and employees, has divided them into three categories: doctors of sciences, candidates of sciences and teachers without a scientific degree. The analysis of SPSTL SB RAS statistics has shown that among teachers who signed up for the library in the period 2016–2021, the share of candidates of sciences is 47,9%, doctors of sciences among teachers – users of the library is 9,6%. If considered by specialty, readers-teachers are mainly representatives of humanitarian (43%), technical (16%) and economic (11%) ones.The analysis of demands has shown that teachers’ information needs are satisfied with the help of book publications, among which textbooks especially stand out. About 30,5% of circulation are books published before 1991. Need for information in their subject area is one of the basic factors that bring teachers into libraries. The analysis of statistics has shown that candidates of sciences most often turn to electronic resources, and this category of teachers also has the highest demand for exhibitions, open funds, references, xerocopying and the Internet class services.In the whole, we can ascertain a comparatively high level of information needs satisfaction in the subject area. The average level of satisfaction is the need for information about teaching the subject methodology and information of a general pedagogical nature. Low level of satisfaction are needs for information related to the organization of the educational system.

Authors: Ding Han , Li Houbu , Qi Dongtao , Zhang Zhao , Qi Guoquan , Wei Bin , Cai Xuehua
Published: March 2022

The three-phase separator was perforated after four years’ service. The perforation position is at the bottom of the vessel under the baffle plate in an oil transfer station. The cause of perforation was investigated by chemical analysis using a direct-reading spectrometer, microstructure examined by optical microscope(OM), and lab simulated corrosion experiments by electrochemical workstation, and the corrosion products examined with scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS) in this paper. The analyses indicated that the coating at the base of the pressure vessel failed and this led to the direct exposure of the carbon steel plate to the corrosive medium. The electrical contact between the carbon steel and the stainless steel, sets up a galvanic cell that accelerated the corrosion of the pressure vessel which eventually led leads to the perforation.

Authors: Zhang Xuan , Fang Changling , Wang Yuan , Lou Xiaoyi , Su Ying , Huang Dongmei
Published: March 2022

Dams have made great contributions to human society, facilitating flood control, power generation, shipping, agriculture and industry. However, the construction of dams greatly impacts downstream ecological environments and nearby marine areas. To summarize these impacts, this review used recent research to comprehensively analyze how dam construction has affected river hydrology, geomorphology, and ecosystem of downstream reaches globally. Effects of dams on ecosystems occur through reduced river flow, reduced sediment flux, altered water temperature, changed estuary delta, altered composition and distribution of nutrients, altered structure and distribution of phytoplankton populations, caused habitat fragmentation, and blocked migration routes in river sections and adjacent seas. Besides, exploring new reservoir management strategies (including targeted control of dam storage and flushing sediment operations), banning fishing activities, and removing unnecessary dams (obsolete or small dams) are becoming crucial tools for ecosystem restoration.

Bifidobacterium are a beneficial and dominant member of the breast-fed infant gut microbiome. However, the health benefits of Bifidobacterium are partially species dependent. Here we characterize the species and subspecies of Bifidobacterium present in breastfed infants around the world. Across populations, three distinct patterns of Bifidobacterium colonization emerged: 1) Dominance of Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis, 2) Prevalent Bifidobacterium of multiple species, and 3) Frequent absence of Bifidobacterium. These patterns appear related to country history of breastfeeding, with infants in countries with historically high rates of long duration breastfeeding more likely to be colonized by B. longum subspecies infantis compared with infants in countries with histories of shorter duration breastfeeding. These findings highlight the need to consider historical and cultural influences on gut commensal survival influence present day colonization patterns in order to understand epidemiological transmission patterns of Bifidobacterium and other major gut commensals.

Preservice English Language Teacher Education in the Anthropocene
Authors: Yastibaş Ahmet Erdost
Published: March 2022

The new geological epoch, the Anthropocene reveals the negative impacts of human activities on the environment, which makes environmental education significant to deal with the negative effects of people on the environment and sustain the environment for the future of the world. As a branch of education, English language teaching (ELT) can contribute to environmental education in schools. For an effective environmental education in ELT, English language teachers should have enough knowledge on environmental issues and environmental awareness. One way for them to achieve this is preservice English language teacher education. The literature review indicated that any English language teacher education program (ELTEP) was not evaluated with an anthropocentric perspective. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the new ELTEP of Turkey with an anthropocentric perspective. It was designed as a qualitative study. The data was collected from the new ELTEP of Turkey and was content analyzed. The findings of the study have shown that environmental education is integrated with the new ELTEP through community services and sustainable development and education courses. The findings of the study were discussed and suggestions for further studies were made.
Cross-Linguistic Transfer and Language Proficiency in the Multilingual Education System of Burundi: What has the Existing Literature so far Discovered?
Authors: Nsengiyumva Dominique Savio , Oriikiriza Celestino , Kalyango Sarah
Published: March 2022

This paper discussed Cross-Linguistic Transfer (CLT) and Language Proficiency in multilingual education in general and highlighted samples of CLT in Burundi as the existing literature reveals. As there exist CLT on all linguistic levels, this discussion has provided examples of phonological (including phonetics), lexical and semantic, and syntactic transfer. It has been realized that there exist a limited number of publications related to CLT among languages studied in the multilingual education system of Burundi. Yet analyses of CLT would supply interesting samples of linguistic features that are likely to be transferred. This would be useful for both language curriculum designers and language policymakers in deciding which language features to supply in language curriculum materials. Furthermore, teachers would find ways of helping learners to improve their language proficiency based on samples of CLT analysis.

Authors: Mandarani Vidya , Munir Ahmad
Published: March 2022

Nowadays’ multicultural education poses various challenges. One of the latent issues currently emerged in Indonesia education is the mistreatment towards the students of minority ethnic amongst the fellow learners. This status quo pushes schools’ stakeholders to reflect upon their responsibilities and reconsider the use of multiculturalism in enhancing diversity awareness towards both teachers and students. In an attempt to promote multicultural education, the use of multicultural literature that portrays various cultures, values, and views, may assist the students in appreciating their own culture by the acquisition of diverse perspectives of the society. Moreover, it provides potential teachers to comprehend the diversity of multicultural issues beyond mono-cultural perspectives. This paper aims to emphasize the significance of multicultural literature as teaching materials; recommend selection and evaluation criteria for the said literature; as well as to present strategies of formulating literature-based classrooms. In providing the best teaching materials, it is necessary to select high-quality multicultural literature to present accurate and authentic representations of cultural communities. At any rate, 10 overall criteria should be embedded within the selected literature, thus the QUILT metric can be utilized to assess its quality. Afterward, there are also several recommended approaches, techniques, or strategies for formulating a literature-based classroom that may promote critical thinking in literary discussion.

Authors: Hajar Ibnu , Triastuti Anita
Published: March 2022

The development of industry in the modern era has led to the growth of vocational schools in Indonesia.  for that reason, vocational schools need to adapt or change the general English (GE) learning materials into English learning materials for specific purposes (ESP). therefore, this current study aims to investigate the need for ESP materials for agriculture students at Indonesian vocational schools. This study employed descriptive research to describe the agriculture students’ need for ESP materials.  The participants of this research were 25 students of XI grade agriculture students at vocational school. This research used a questionnaire that was developed to find out the ESP needs of agriculture students. Moreover, the data from the questionnaire were analyzed by seeing the frequency of participants’ answers then the data were presented in the form of a chart or figure. The results of the study showed that the English learning objective of the agriculture students should make the students able to communicate in English well. Then, English learning materials for agriculture students should be blended with the agriculture materials such as cultivation plants and processing agricultural products. Also, English learning activities for agriculture students should involve students actively by group work, making projects, and using current media technologies in the learning process. Eventually, the results of this study can be used as a reference in mapping and developing ESP materials especially for agriculture students at vocational schools.
EFL Learners’ Preferences and Emotions about Oral Corrective Feedback at Secondary Education in Turkey: Are There Gender and Grade-level Differences?
Authors: Yakışık Burçak Yılmaz
Published: March 2022

Oral corrective feedback has attracted the attention of EFL teachers and researchers in recent decades. The current study aims to investigate EFL learners’ preferences and emotions about oral corrective feedback with a specific focus on gender and grade level at secondary education in Turkey. Quantitative research methods were used to reveal the findings.  664 EFL learners participated in the study at two different state high schools in Ankara, Turkey.  Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to investigate the OCF preferences of EFL high school learners. It was revealed that more than half of the high school EFL learners worried about making mistakes in the classroom; however, the majority of the learners agreed on the necessity of receiving OCF and they had positive feelings for being given immediate feedback by their teachers. Regardless of gender and grade level, EFL learners had a higher preference for ‘self-correction’. Females preferred ‘metalinguistic clues’ as the first choice and ‘peer correction’ as the last choice among the OCF types whereas males prefer ‘peer correction’ as the first, but ‘metalinguistic clues’ as the last choice. Among the grade levels, 10th-grade level learners have more concerns about making mistakes and these learners prefer ‘clarification request’ and ‘repetition of error’ a lot more than the 9th-grade level learners.

Meltable plug technology has a range of potential applications in the drilling process and is being more widely used. With over 250 jobs done to date, a variety of applications are being identified and being applied. This paper seeks to update the main areas of application to date.

Bismuth alloy technology is now becoming standard technology as over 250 installations demonstrate that this is very much field proven. From onshore to deepwater environments, from drilling to completions and interventions applications through to abandonment operations, from 2″ to 28″ diameter and from 4 degC to 150 degC plug setting depth conditions, in wellbores with deviations up to 83 degrees, the technology has a wide operating envelope. Different alloy compositions are used according to the downhole conditions.

In drilling a well, problems can be encountered in achieving good cement isolation from production intervals or from gas pressure in annuli. Furthermore, casing leaks can emerge and pose well integrity problems. In completing and producing a well, particularly over time, packers can leak, water cuts can increase and zonal isolations be required. This can be particularly challenging in sand control completions. Abandonment operations can be simplified and reduced in time and cost using this system. Meltable plug technology, while not a panacea for all ills, nonetheless can remediate many of these challenges.

Four operators in the US have run 63 thermally deformable annulus packers in wells, then – when gas pressure developed in an annulus, activated the bismuth alloy based thermally deformable annulus packer and immediately isolated the leak. Operators have remediated poor annular cement jobs with bismuth alloy plugs. Recently, one leaking packer has been remediated using this technology, more are planned in coming months. Zonal isolations in openhole gravel pack wells using bismuth alloy plug technology have been done in several deepwater wells with good production results and more are planned. A meltable plug successfully isolated a water producing interval in a slotted liner completion with a void annulus. Abandonments have been done in many wells, with a significant program of work in the Valhall field offshore Norway playing a key part in successfully abandoning 30 wells, reducing HSE risks, time and costs. A similar program in Australia abandoning 30 wells with 55 plugs has been similarly successful and more abandonments using these techniques are planned. In addition, some wells offshore California have been abandoned using these techniques.

This paper will effectively provide an updated status on the technology across the lifecycle of a well and potential future usage areas.

Background: Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) belongs to the Asteraceae family and is a vegetable widely consumed globally. Although lettuce is extensively cultivated and consumed, lettuce-associated occupational allergy is rarely reported. Herein, we are reporting a case of eosinophilic pneumonia induced by lettuce for the first time.Case presentation: A 56-year-old female lettuce farmer was admitted to the hospital with a low-grade fever, worsening cough, and dyspnoea. A blood test revealed eosinophilia and a high serum IgE concentration. A chest X-ray taken on admission showed an infiltrative shadow in the upper lung field. Chest CT revealed patchy ground glass opacity on the upper lung field and thickening of the bronchial wall. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid contained 8% eosinophils. The IgG-binding proteins that reacted with the patient’s sera were identified by immunoblot analysis. She was diagnosed as lettuce induced eosinophilic pneumonia and was treated with prednisolone, and her symptoms and radiological findings improved. Wearing a mask and reducing the amount of the crop improved her symptoms the following year.Conclusions: This is the first case report about lettuce-induced eosinophilic pneumonia which occurred in a lettuce farmer. Antigen avoidance has reduced the patient’s symptoms.

This study investigated the effects of trade integration on economic growth and employment in West Africa from 2005 to 2019. Using a two-step panel GMM estimation technique, results showed that trade between West Africa member states and other SSA countries has more reinforcing growth propelling effect. That is, trade deepening between West African countries and other SSA countries has the tendency to boost growth more than when trade is just among the West African countries. Results also showed that although trade integration has not led to expansion in employment in the West African region, increased volume of trade among countries would foster more employment generation. The policy import of the study is threefold. First, when West Africa countries trade among themselves, the benefits of trade in enhancing economic growth and employment generation is small. Second, with trade between West Africa and other countries and regions in SSA, West Africa stands better chance of harnessing more growth and employment benefits from trade integration. Third, there is therefore the need for West Africa to key into the AfCFTA implementation as deeper trade within Africa has great potentials of fast-tracking growth and more employment generation for the region.

1.1 Background:Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is caused by interactions among host, environment, and pathogens. The current standard for antemortem pathogen identification in cattle with BRD is deep-guarded nasopharyngeal swabbing, which is challenging, costly, and waste generating. The objective was to compare the ability to recover Mannheimia haemolytica and compare microbial community structure using 29.5 inch (74.9 cm) deep-guarded nasopharyngeal swabs, 16 inch (40.6 cm) unguarded proctology swabs, or 6 inch (15.2 cm) unguarded nasal swabs when characterized using culture, real time-qPCR, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Samples for aerobic culture, qPCR, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were collected from the upper respiratory tract of high-risk cattle 2 weeks after feedlot arrival. 1.2 ResultsThere was high concordance of culture and qPCR results for all swab types (results for 77% and 81% of samples animals completely across all 3 swab types for culture and qPCR respectively). Microbial communities were highly similar among samples collected with different swabs types, and differences identified relative to treatment for BRD were also similar. Positive qPCR results for M. haemolytica were highly concordant (81% agreed completely), but samples collected by deep-guarded swabbing had higher Ct values (Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance on ranks, P < 0.05; Dunn-test for pairwise comparison with Benjamini-Hochberg correction, P < 0.05) and lower frequency of positive compared to nasal and proctology swabs (McNemar’s Chi-square test, P <0.05). 1.3 ConclusionsThough slight differences existed among different types of swabs collected from individual cattle, nasal swabs and proctology swabs offer comparable results to deep-guarded nasopharyngeal swabs when identifying and characterizing M. haemolytica by culture, 16S rRNA microbiome, and qPCR.

Background: The prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity has increased dramatically and poses a major public health threat globally. In Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA), the main cause of adolescent obesity is an increase in physical inactivity and unhealthy eating habits due to lifestyle changes. The aim of this study is to assess the factors associated with physical activity (PA) prior to and during COVID-19 among middle school students in Jeddah, KSA. Method: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey among 1500 middle school students aged 11 to 15 years in Jeddah, KSA. Descriptive statistics were used to present data summaries. Continuous variables were presented as means with standard deviations or median with interquartile range and categorical variables as frequencies and percentages. We used Chi-square tests to compare knowledge, attitude and behaviours of PA before and during COVID-19 restrictions and to compare between both sexes. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the determinants of PA.Results: Data from 1500 (54% female) showed a significant difference in PA knowledge and behaviours by sex. Most students did not participate in the recommended levels of daily PA during COVID-19 lockdowns and school closures. After adjusting for demographic, knowledge and attitude, students who do not participate in school sports (p=0.017) and members of club members (p=0.002) were less likely to be active during COVID-19 lockdown. Conclusions: Efforts to enhance PA should be implemented through coordinated school and community-based programs to achieve the recommended PA among adolescents at home and in schools.
