Published: March 2024

Coenurosis is a cystic parasitic disease affecting ruminants and other mammals worldwide. The disease is caused by Coenurus cerebralis, the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia multiceps. Sheep and goats are frequently infected, while cases in cattle are rare. Here we describe the first recorded case of bovine coenurosis in North Macedonia. The diagnosis was based on the neurological clinical signs and the postmortem findings of a 1-year-old bull with symptoms typical for coenurosis, i.e. ataxia, circling movements, mild depression and impaired vision. Postmortem, a cyst was found in the left cerebral hemisphere and was confirmed as fertile Coenurus cerebralis by parasitological analysis. These findings suggest that coenurosis should be considered part of the differential diagnosis in cattle with neurological symptoms. This highlights the need for routine surveillance of this disease in livestock and proactive tracking of the parasite in the final hosts to enhance disease management.

The company's profitability will reflect the company's financial performance. Good financial performance can increase the value of the company, which will be reflected in the market price of its shares and increase the prosperity of shareholders (stakeholders). Profitability is also a factor that makes management free and flexible in disclosing corporate social responsibility to shareholders. Thus, the higher the level of company profitability, the greater the disclosure of information. So, this study intends to see how profitability affects firm value and whether corporate social responsibility and good corporate governance effectively moderate profitability's effect on manufacturing companies’ value in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). Therefore, this study is important and serves as material for investors and potential investors to consider and reference in selecting companies. Various theories support this study, as the grand theory is the agency theory and the signaling theory. The middle theory of this research is contract theory, and the applied theory is firm value theory. This theory is to measure the company's selling value or growth value for shareholders, the company's value, which will be reflected in the market price of its shares. This research was conducted using a quantitative method, which will be carried out in 2021 at a manufacturing company registered on the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with twenty-four companies listed on the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). Considering that the model in this study is a causality model for several manufacturing companies, to test the hypothesis, cross-sectional data is used with the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach using the partial least squares program (PLS 4.0). The results of the profitability direct effect test do not directly affect firm value; the direct effect test results of CSR moderation do not directly affect firm value; and so do the GCG direct effect test results, which do not affect firm value.

Published: March 2024

Education has become a part of human life. It is given to individuals differently depending on where the educational activities take place. In order to maintain the consistency of education in certain areas, there is a need for a curriculum that defines the materials and learning standards that must be taught and achieved in educational institutions based on the customs of each area around the world. One method of curriculum implementation is through textbooks. They are tools in which curriculum materials and standards are implemented to support teaching and learning activities. Textbooks always have problems with the content related to the implemented curriculum. There is a need for evaluation to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of textbooks. This study examines the existing implemented curriculum with the textbook contents. Two textbooks, "Bahasa Inggris" based on Indonesian Curriculum 2013 and "Developing English Competences" based on Indonesian KTSP 2006 curriculum, are used for assessment and evaluation. Qualitative method called document analysis is used by implementing McGrath's theory to evaluate textbooks. The results are the difference and validity between the textbooks contents and both the 2013 and 2006 KTSP curriculum. Both are considered suitable, but with some difficulties in certain degrees in teaching and learning activities.

Authors:   Department of Public Health, Maseno University, Kenya, Muma Shadrack
Published: March 2024

Background: Refractive error is the leading cause of visual impairment globally. Different models are being applied to aid in the delivery of refractive error services. However, there is still a challenge when it comes to delivery of the services to the base of the pyramid population. As a result, there is course for an alarm to adopt a communist approach where each and every one will be able to access the services. Methodology: This was a prospective study in which respondents received the survey through online platforms. The survey was sent to 200 groups with each group having 150 participants. The Helsinki Declaration was adhered to. The response rate was 80% (24,000 out of 30,000). Results: Out of the 24,000 respondents, 60% were living in urban areas with 40% residing in rural areas. There was an association between the region of residence and access to refractive error services (t-test, p=0.04). The private sectors were 2.56 (95% CI 0.17–0.22) times likely to deliver refractive error services to the middle class living in urban areas compared to those residing in rural areas. The human resource remains a challenge as over 70% of the eye care providers are distributed within urban areas with less than 15% willing to work in rural areas.

Published: March 2024

The extent of nanoplastic pollution has raised severe environmental and health concerns. While the means for microplastic detection are abundant, improved tools for nanoplastic detection are called-for. State- of-the-art microscopic techniques can detect nanoplastics down to tens of nanometers, however, only from very small sample sizes (typically ∼10 µl). In this work, we describe a method that enables sampling of 1 liter of seawater by the means of correlative Raman- and SEM-techniques. This is achieved by adapting common microplastic sample purification protocols (i.e. chemical digestion) to suit the nanoplastic study. In addition, we decorate a membrane filter with SERS-property to amplify the Raman signals. Together, the purification method combined with the use of the SERS-activated-membrane-filter enables identification and imaging of individual nanoplastic particles from significantly larger sample sizes than before.

Benzalkonium chlorides (BACs) have been of environmental concern due to their widespread use and potential harm. However, challenges arise in defining and controlling the exposure concentration (Cw) in aquatic toxicity tests involving BACs with a long alkyl chain (i.e., #C >14). To address this, a novel passive dosing method was introduced in the 48 h-acute ecotoxicity test on Daphnia magna and compared to the conventional solvent-spiking method in terms of Cw stability and toxicity results. Among thirteen sorbent materials tested for their sorption capacity, polyethersulfone (PES) membrane was an optimal passive dosing reservoir, with equilibrium desorption of BACs to water achieved within 24 h. The Cw of BACs remained constant in both applied dosing methods during the test period. However, the Cw in solvent-spiking tests was lower than the nominal concentration for long-chain BACs, particularly at low exposure concentrations. Notably, the solvent-spiking tests indicated that the toxicity of BACs increased with alkyl chain length from C6 to 14, followed by a decline of toxicity from C14 to 18. In contrast, the passive dosing method displayed similar toxicity levels of BACs with C14–18, indicating higher toxicity of C16 and C18-BACs than inferred by the solvent spiking test. These findings emphasize the potential of applying this innovative passive dosing approach in aquatic toxicity tests to generate reliable and accurate toxicity data and support a comprehensive risk assessment of cationic surfactants.

Open-shell materials bearing multiple spin centres hold the key to efficient charge transport in singlemolecule electronic devices. They have very narrow bandgaps, and their partially occupied molecular orbitals align very efficiently to the Fermi level of the metallic electrodes of the single-molecule junction, thus allowing transparent electronic transport and higher conductance. Maintaining and stabilising multiple open-shell states, especially in contact with metallic electrodes is however very challenging, generally requiring a continuous chemical or electrochemical potential to avoid self-immolation of the open-shell character. To overcome this issue, we designed, synthesised, and measured the conductance of a series of bis(indeno) fused acenes, having a diradicaloid structure in resonance with a close-shell quinoidal conformation, providing steric protection with 3,5-dimethylthioanisole anchors to the electrodes and electronic protection against oxidation with tris(isopropyl)ethynyl substituents at the heart of the acene. We show here that these compounds have extremely anti-ohmic behaviour, with conductance increasing with increasing length at an unprecedented rate, across the entire bias window (±1.3 𝑉). Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations support our findings, showing the rapidly narrowing bandgap unique to these diradicaloid structures is responsible for the observed behaviour. Our results provide a framework for achieving efficient transport in neutral compounds and demonstrate the promise that diradicaloid materials have in single-molecule electronics, owing to their great stability and unique electronic structure.

High-accuracy molecular force field models suited for hot gases and plasmas are not as abundant as those geared towards ambient pressure and temperature conditions. Here we present an improved version of our previous electron- density based force field model that can account for polarization effects by adjusting the atomic valence electron contributions to match ab initio calculated Mulliken partial charges. Using a slightly modified version of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem, we also present an improved theoretical formulation of our model when dealing with systems with degenerate ground states. Preliminary results obtained from this methodology for water dimer calculations using CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ and CCSD(T)/CEP-31G level of theory are presented using an order ten approximation. Further improvements include the additional interaction components with fictitious non-spherically symmetric, yet atom-centered, electron densities and fitting the exchange and correlation coefficients against analytical expressions. The latter removes all unphysical oscillations that are observed in the previous non-polarizable variant of our force field.

As a fundamental problem in organic chemistry, synthesis planning aims at designing energy and cost-efficient reaction pathways for target compounds. In synthesis planning, it is crucial to understand regioselectivity, or the preference of a reaction over competing reaction sites. Precisely predicting regioselectivity enables early exclusion of unproductive reactions and paves the way to designing high-yielding synthetic routes with minimal separation and material costs. However, it is still at emerging state to combine chemical knowledge and data-driven methods to make practical predictions for regioselectivity. At the same time, metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have profoundly transformed medicinal chemistry, and thus become one of the most frequently encountered types of reactions in synthesis planning. In this work, we for the first time introduce a chemical knowledge informed message passing neural network(MPNN) framework that directly identifies the intrinsic major products for metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with regioselective ambiguity. Integrating both first principle methods and data-driven methods, our model achieves an overall accuracy of 95.24\% on the test set of eight typical metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction types, including Suzuki-Miyaura, Stille, Sonogashira, Buchwald-Hartwig, Hiyama, Kumada, Negishi, and Heck reactions, outperforming other commonly used model types. To integrate electronic effects with steric effects in regioselectivity prediction, we propose a quantitative method to measure the steric hindrance effect. Our steric hindrance checker can successfully identify regioselectivity induced solely by steric hindrance. Notably under practical scenarios, our model outperforms 6 experimental organic chemists with an average working experience of over 10 years in the organic synthesis industry in terms of predicting major products in regioselective cases. We have also exemplified the practical usage of our model by fixing routes designed by open-access synthesis planning software and improving reactions by identifying low-cost starting materials. To assist general chemists in making prompt decisions about regioselectivity, we have developed a free web-based AI-empowered tool. Our code and web tool have been made available at https://github.com/Chemlex-AI/regioselectivity and https://ai.tools.chemlex.com/region-choose, respectively.

INTRODUCTION: Biomedical Waste is defined as any waste, which is generated during the diagnosis, treatment or immunisation of human beings or animals or in research activities pertaining thereto or in the production or testing of biological products. Healthcare workers are one of the main contributors to the healthcare waste management process. AIM: The study aimed to assess the level of awareness and attitude regarding biomedical waste management policy and practices among health care workers at Bareilly International University, Bareilly, India. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire with closed-ended questions which was distributed to 150 medical, 154 dental and 100 Class IV employees at Bareilly International University, India. The responses in the questionnaire were used to assess their knowledge of biomedical waste disposal. The responses were evaluated, and each participant's percentage of correct and incorrect responses for each question was calculated. RESULTS: The results indicated that all healthcare professionals had a low degree of knowledge and awareness regarding the risks associated with biomedical waste formation, legal requirements, and management. Only 11 (7.14%) dental interns had excellent knowledge about biomedical waste generation and legislation while 5 (3.33%) medical interns had extremely poor knowledge about it. Only 4 (4%) Class IV employees had an excellent awareness of biomedical waste management practices. Only 34 (22.08%) dental interns had an excellent level of knowledge of needle-stick injuries among health care personnel. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that health care professionals have a low degree of knowledge and awareness regarding the risks of biomedical waste generation, laws, and management at Bareilly International University, India hence there is a requirement for regular monitoring and training at all levels of healthcare.
