Published: February 2024

Defences within the digital space against cybersecurity include detection, prevention and response to threats using software tools, however, there no significant technology-based defence systems that deal with cyberbullying related threats. A lack of cybersecurity defence systems and limited cybersecuriy awareness may expose students to cyberbullying and students are likely to suffer, resulting in effects such as psychological and emotional abuse that may eventually contribute towards high drop-outs rates. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cyberbullying among students at a public university based in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. This research study followed a mixed method approach and a thematic analysis guided by the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) theoretical framework. The study found strong cyberbullying penetration within the student community under investigation. As part of the study findings, it was found that activities such as cybersecurity awareness programmes may mitigate the impact of cyberbullying on students and such interventions should form part of any higher education institution’s responsibility.

Published: February 2024

Lodderomyces elongisporus, an ascomycetous yeast, is often misidentified as Candida parapsilosis due to its physiologic similarity. Compared to Candida parapsilosis complex, L. elongisporus is still inferior in regard to incidence and virulence. We report a case of L. elongisporus fungaemia in a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) precipitated by COVID-19 category 5 infection. A 52-year-old diabetic and hypertensive lady was brought in for fever, cough and lethargy for four days, with sudden onset of dyspnoea. Upon arrival, she was febrile, and in metabolic ketoacidosis. Her lung auscultation was clear. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected via real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Her blood culture grew L. elongisporus, identified via matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF). Although treated with intravenous (IV) amphotericin B for four days, she succumbed on the sixth day of admission. Accurate identification of this yeast, especially in differentiating it with Candida parapsilosis complex, remains a diagnostic challenge for routine diagnostic laboratories. MALDI-TOF offers a reliable alternative for accurate and prompt diagnosis. Co-infections with COVID-19 have never been recorded worldwide. We highlight the first case of L. elongisporus isolation co-existing with SARS-CoV-2 infection during this pandemic.

Published: February 2024

A 3-month-old female infant with omphalocele, posterior cleft palate and bilateral hydronephrosis was inadvertently discovered to have macroglossia, hepatomegaly, and facial nevus flammeus during hospitalisation for community-acquired pneumonia. A clinical diagnosis of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), a disease with a higher predisposition to developing embryonal tumours was made. A liver ultrasound revealed a
haemangioma at section VIII with the absence of hepatoblastoma. A serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) of 413 IU/mL was initially a concern given it was 60 times higher than the stated reference interval but was noted to be age-appropriate and related to the patient’s underlying disease. This case report highlights the importance of reporting an AFP age-specific reference interval as well as the necessity of monitoring AFP in a child with BWS due to the higher risk of hepatoblastoma.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Magnesium (Mg) has an important role in glucose metabolism and acts as a cofactor for many enzymatic reactions. However, Mg deficiency frequently goes unnoticed. The aim of this study was to determine the association between serum Mg and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A cross-sectional study was done among T2DM patients who were followed-up at the Diabetic Clinic at Hospital Melaka. Serum Mg test was added to the routine investigations of all patients with diabetes who participated. Results: Prevalence of hypomagnesaemia was 21.5%. There was a significant difference in age, duration of T2DM and diabetic complications that include retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular accident as well as all laboratory parameters except high-density lipoprotein cholesterol between the hypomagnesaemia and normomagnesaemia groups. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose and duration of diabetes independently predicted serum Mg levels in T2DM patients. Conclusion: These findings support the use of serum Mg as an indirect biomarker of glycaemic control in T2DM patients, whereby hypomagnesaemia indicates poor control.

Smart algorithms as a prerequisite for the use of artificial intelligence in judicial decision-making
Authors: Dimitrijevic Žarko
Published: February 2024

The turn-of-the-century advancement of technology opened the possibility of excluding the human factor in many areas. The tendency to speed up the processes in all fields of work can be compared with the tendencies that occurred during the First Industrial Revolution. Education, goods production, services, sports, entertainment, medicine... there is almost no field that does not take the advantage of computer and Internet technologies, especially machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). For the purposes of theoretical considerations, starting from the traditional view of the separation of powers into a legislature, an executive, and a judiciary, the question can be raised as to whether and under what conditions AI can be used in the judicial decision-making process, that is, whether, under certain conditions, it can be left to a computer to perform actions or reach decisions in court.
