Mycoplasma Genitalium and Chlamydia Trachomatis Prevalence, Co-Infection and Relevant Factors in An Epidemiology Study (2016 - 2019) In Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
Authors: Ngoc Hieu Nguyen , Pham Phuoc Hung Lam , Phuoc Nguyen Ngoc Ngo
Published: January 2023

Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium are two common types of sexually transmitted infections. However, currently in Vietnam, there is no report on the rate of patients infected by the two types of bacteria. In this study, there were 6194 patients visiting the STI clinic of the HCMC Hospital of Dermato-Venereology, Vietnam, from 2016 to 2019. The results show that the proportion of patients positive with CT and MG is independent on time. The infection rate is mainly at the age of 21 - 30 (53.4%). The CT infection rate in female and male is equal (17.3% vs 17.4%) while the rate of MG in female is lower (5.1% vs 7, 8%). The rate of patients co-infected with either CT or MG is 4.5%, 17% and 5.7% respectively, time independence. This study may give better understandings of the epidemiological characteristics of MG and CT in Vietnam.
Household Characteristics, Cost of Illness and Coping Mechanism of Families of Hospitalized Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Children: A Mix Method Study
Authors: Kakoti Gitali , Das Ram Bishnu , Chetri Mandira
Published: January 2023

Background: AES is responsible for causing high social and economic burden to the affected families. The study was conducted to know the household characteristics, cost of illness and coping strategy adopted by the family members of AES children admitted to a tertiary care facility in Assam, India.
Methods: It was a sequential exploratory mixed method study, with a cross-sectional survey among AES children and their guardians, followed by In Depth interview.
Results: Out of 51 cases 55% were male. The median age was 11 years. 53% of the families belonged to lower socioeconomic class. 96% of families reported to reside in rural areas. Commonly reported household assets were mobile phone 94%, bicycle 86%, television 31% and motorcycle 29%. Three major themes were emerged to contribute towards economic burden. The first major theme is “Direct cost” due to patient transportation cost (mean Rs 1161.00) and hospital costs: mostly due to medicinal cost (mean Rs1955.00), investigational cost (mean Rs 2920.00) and food cost (mean Rs 8375.00). The second theme “Indirect cost” is due to work days loss: 100% care providers had missed work days during hospital stay of their children and 84% had missed work days during post hospital care. The third theme is “Inherent cost spotted through coping mechanisms” which mostly 94% included borrowing money from the market and 31.4% selling household assets.
Conclusion: Cost of illness is a huge burden to the AES afflicted families which demands reforms in health care financing and reimbursement in current context.
Self-Measured Blood Pressure and Target Organ Damage in Newly Detected Hypertension in South Gujarat, India
Authors: Patel Harshil , Gagiya Ashok , Gurjar Vivek , Patil Chintan
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Blood pressure transient spikes have been considered to be noise and only a hindrance to a proper assessment of typical blood pressure, which is defined as the actual underlying average blood pressure over a long period of time. The current study aimed to see if the highest Self measured Systolic blood Pressure could be utilized to forecast the occurrence of Target organ damage and evaluate the independent association between the maximum Self measured Systolic blood Pressure and Target organ damage in individuals with untreated hyper-tension.
Method: We evaluated the urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) us-ing ultrasonography in 462 hypertensive individuals who had never taken treatment for their hypertension. Resi-dential blood pressure was recorded.
Result: The maximal Self measured Systolic blood Pressure had considerably higher association coefficients with left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and carotid intima-media thickness than the mean Self measured Systolic blood Pressure. Irrespective of the mean Self measured Blood pressure level, multivariate regression studies showed that the maximal Self measured Systolic blood Pressure was independently related with left ventricular mass index and carotid intima-media thickness.
Conclusion: Transiently high blood pressure measurements recorded at Self measured shouldn't be dismissed as noise but rather taken seriously as significant warning signs of hypertensive Target organ damage in the heart and arteries.

The Analysis of the Sepedi-English Code-switched Radio News Corpus
Authors: Ramalepe Simon , Modipa Thipe I. , Davel Marelie H.
Published: January 2023

Code-switching is a phenomenon that occurs mostly in multilingual countries where multilingual speakers often switch between languages in their conversations. The unavailability of large-scale code-switched corpora hampers the development and training of language models for the generation of code-switched text. In this study, we explore the initial phase of collecting and creating Sepedi-English code-switched corpus for generating synthetic news. Radio news and the frequency of code-switching on read news were considered and analysed. We developed and trained a Transformer-based language model using the collected code-switched dataset. We observed that the frequency of code-switched data in the dataset was very low at 1.1 %. We complemented our dataset with the news headlines dataset to create a new dataset. Although the frequency was still low, the model obtained the optimal loss rate of 2,361 with an accuracy of 66 %.
Textual Augmentation Techniques Applied to Low Resource Machine Translation: Case of Swahili
Authors: Gitau Catherine , Marivate Vukosi
Published: January 2023

In this work we investigate the impact of applying textual data augmentation tasks to low resource machine translation. There has been recent interest in investigating approaches for training systems for languages with limited resources and one popular approach is the use of data augmentation techniques. Data augmentation aims to increase the quantity of data that is available to train the system. In machine translation, majority of the language pairs around the world are considered low resource because they have little parallel data available and the quality of neural machine translation (NMT) systems depend a lot on the availability of sizable parallel corpora. We study and apply three simple data augmentation techniques popularly used in text classification tasks; synonym replacement, random insertion and contextual data augmentation and compare their performance with baseline neural machine translation for English-Swahili (En-Sw) datasets. We also present results in BLEU, ChrF and Meteor scores. Overall, the contextual data augmentation technique shows some improvements both in the EN -> SW and SW -> EN directions. We see that there is potential to use these methods in neural machine translation when more extensive experiments are done with diverse datasets.
GiellaLT: an infrastructure for rule-based language technology tool development
Authors: A Pirinen Flammie , Trosterud Trond , N. Moshagen Sjur , Wiechetek Linda
Published: January 2023

Currently, machine learning is presented as the ultimate solution for language technology regardless of use case and application, however, it requires as a starting point a massive amount of curated linguistic data in electronic form that is expected to be high quality and representative of the kind of language usage that the tools will follow. For minority and indigenous languages, this can be an insurmountable task, as digital materials of the necessary sizes do not exist and can not easily be produced. In this article we present an approach we have successfully used for supporting indigenous languages to survive and grow in digital contexts for years, and describe the potential of our approach for African contexts. Our technological solution is a free and open-source infrastructure that enables language experts and users to cooperate on creating linguistic resources like dictionaries and grammatical descriptions. In addition we provide language-independent frameworks to build these into applications that are needed by the language community.
‘Le vent nous portera’: Rescue and Confinement at Sea under Human Rights Law

‘Le vent nous portera’: Rescue and Confinement at Sea under Human Rights Law

As a response to the pandemic, sea-rescue operations in the Mediterranean have either come to a halt or have been perilously delayed. Since then, policies of port closure and semi-closure have been undertaken under different forms. Nevertheless, States have an obligation to assist ships’ masters in delivering any shipwreck to a place of safety, even in times of COVID-19 or any other public emergency. This article explores whether State responsibility under international human rights law might be engaged whenever rescuing boats are compelled to lengthy standoffs with no coastal State allowing disembarkation. Therefore, in discussing the interim measures issued by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in cases of prolonged confinement at sea – following port closures and refusals of a place of safety – it suggests that the ECtHR should have ordered disembarkation of all shipwrecked onboard. Indeed, the actual conditions of migrants and asylum-seekers compelled to exhausting and unlawful standoffs at sea, in addition to their precarious physical and mental health, may amount to inhuman and degrading treatment and to a de facto deprivation of personal liberty under Articles 3 and 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). While contesting the increasing use of a language of ‘crisis’ and the recent ‘practical and effective’ approach of the Court of Strasbourg, aimed at preventing ‘foreigners [including asylum seekers] circumventing restrictions on immigration’, this article concludes highlighting the risks of such an approach, thereby exhorting the Court to challenge what may become a perpetual (rather than exceptional) emphasis on a migration crisis.

Published: January 2023

Managing employees’ happiness and well-being as a business strategy offers positive outcomes for companies, as has been widely studied in the scientific literature. In the field of public relations, published studies address these benefits for individuals and collectively, both for the employees themselves (Pérez, 2020) and for the organisation for which they work, whether intangible or tangible (Castro-Martínez and Díaz-Morilla, 2020; Sidney et al., 2017). However, the function of promoting a good working environment is not always attended to in the workplace, nor is it always exclusive to a specific area (Bowen, 2008). In addition to a systematic documentary review, the Web of Science database is used for a bibliometric study and network mapping of the scientific literature, from which articles are extracted for analysis using different bibliographic searches. Based on the information obtained, VOSviewer software is used for the analysis of bibliometric networks by authorship, citation and co-occurrence of keywords in scientific publications. The number of articles published on the management of happiness and wellbeing in organisations as part of their public relations has increased significantly over the last decade, although there has been a notable change in this growth since 2021. According to the research, corporate social responsibility programmes are increasingly considering these aspects as part of their organisational strategy, and departments such as human resources are taking on a greater role in generating a good working environment. This study provides an overview of the international production of scientific publications on the subject of happiness management and organisational well-being from the point of view of public relations. It shows the evolution of scientific activity in terms of the number of works published by area of knowledge and the current trends in terms of authorship, subject matter and repercussion in the scientific field.

Authors: Villar Varela Milena , Méndez-Lois María-José , Barreiro Fernández Felicidad , Permuy Martínez Aixa
Published: January 2023

El androcentrismo permea la realidad e inunda las aulas de todos los niveles educativos, por lo que es acuciante la implantación de pedagogías feministas que confieran solución a estas situaciones. El objetivo de la investigación que se presenta es analizar la presencia de la formación en pedagogías feministas en los planes de aprendizaje inicial de las profesionales y los profesionales de la educación de la Comunidad Autónoma gallega. Para ello se han revisado las materias impartidas en los grados universitarios para la formación de maestras, maestros, pedagogas, pedagogos, educadoras y educadores sociales, además de los másteres universitarios que habilitan al profesorado de educación secundaria en las tres universidades gallegas. Los resultados muestran una carencia formativa considerable en este ámbito, con importantes diferencias entre las instituciones de enseñanza superior que forman parte del estudio, así como en el deseo, tanto de alumnado como de profesorado, de recibir dicha formación. Finalmente, se ofrecen una serie de propuestas de mejora y se reitera la necesidad de promover la educación en pedagogías feministas del profesorado y demás profesionales del ámbito educativo.

The teaching campus is one of the many Merdeka Learning programs organized by the Ministry of Education and Culture. This Teaching Campus Program aims to provide solutions for 3T Elementary Schools (outermost, foremost, underdeveloped) affected by the pandemic by empowering students from various parts of Indonesia to assist teachers and principals in implementing learning activities in improving literacy, numeracy, administration, and technology in schools. The objectives of community service activities carried out by the Teaching Campus team are (1) Knowing the problem factors for the low reading interest of students at school (2) Improving the literacy culture in schools with work programs that have been made, one of which is the effort to assist the literacy movement.  In this service activity, the campus teaching team at SDN 27 Central Bengkulu amounted to 6 people. The subjects appointed in this service are all students at SD Negeri 27 Bengkulu Tengah due to the low interest in reading students so that there is very little library for students to visit. The result of this community service is an increase in students' motivation to learn and read at SDN 27 Bengkulu Tengah. Thus, it is hoped that this activity will be one of the steps that can be used in building a learning spirit movement for education in Central Bengkulu in particular.

Tarubatang Village is one of the shallots producing centers in Central Java. When the main harvest season arrives, the supply of shallots becomes abundant and causes shallot prices to fall. The existence of the Sumber Rejeki Women Farmers Group (KWT) is an alternative to improve people's welfare, through further processing shallots into fried shallots. Even though the production process is still incidental, this activity needs to be managed properly. In determining the cost of products, there were still errors in the calculations, so that the impact on profit information was greater than it really was. Some factory overhead costs are not calculated. With this training, it is hoped that KWT Sumber Rejeki can review the calculation of the cost of its products.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: The clinical syndrome that includes asthma, nasal polyps and hypersensitivity to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is referred to as airway disease exacerbated by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Patients usually have the most severe form of nasal polyps. Asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps share a common inflammatory profile, involving type 2 helper T lymphocytes. T-cell activity can be inhibited via the programmed death receptor, PD-1, leading to modulation of the immune response. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the expression of genes encoding PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1 in nasal polyp tissue in patients with asthma exacerbated by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and to correlate the results with clinical data.
Material and methods: The material used for the study consisted of 54 tissue sections of nasal polyps. In the specimens, the expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 genes was determined at the mRNA level by qPCR. Statistical analysis was used to evaluate the results of the study.

Results: The expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 genes in the tissue of polyps was statistically significantly higher than in the nasal mucosa of patients in the control group. In addition, there was a correlation between the expression of both genes at the mRNA level and the severity of nasal polyps in the paranasal sinuses analyzed from computed tomography images of the paranasal sinuses and assessed using the Kennedy scale.

Conclusions: Determining the expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 genes may provide a marker for the severity of polypoid lesions. In addition, learning more about the PD-1/PD-L signaling pathway and how it can be modulated may provide a potential therapeutic strategy for patients with inflammatory diseases.

Dessa maneira, este estudo tem o objetivo de discorrer sobre a importância da formação continuada na constituição da identidade profissional do professor.
Effect of crop residue and potassium management practices on productivity and economics of conservation agriculture based maize (Zea mays)-wheat (Triticum aestivum) cropping system
Authors: M RAGHAVENDRA , SINGH Y V , DAS T K , MEENA M C
Published: January 2023

A field experiment was conducted in kharif and rabi seasons of 2014-2016 at ICAR-IARI, New Delhi to study the effect of crop residue and potassium (K) on productivity and economics of maize (Zea mays L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under conservation agriculture (CA) based maize-wheat cropping system. The experiment was conducted in split plot design with four levels of crop residue in main plot, viz. no crop residue (CR), 2.0 tonnes/ha CR, 4.0 tonnes/ha CR, 6.0 tonnes/ha CR and five potassium levels, viz. no K, 50% RDK, 100% RDK, 150% RDK, 50% RDK+KSB in sub-plots. Results revealed that the yield attributes, grain and stover/straw yield were significantly influenced by the crop residue and K management practices over the control in both crop during both the years. Treatment with 50% RDK+KSB showed the significantly highest values of all yield attributes like, number of grains/cob, grain weight/cob, test weight and grain (4.91, 5.39 tonnes/ha) and stover yield (8.41, 9.07 tonnes/ha) in maize. In wheat also number of spikes/m2, grains/spike, spike weight, test weight and yield (5.16, 5.45 tonnes/ha) and straw yield were significantly higher over the control and 50% RDK. However this treatment was at par with 100% RDK and 150% RDK. Among the residue management practices 4.0 tonnes/ha CR registered significantly higher yield attributes, grain yield and stover/straw yield over no crop residue and 2.0 tonnes/ha CR and it was on par with 6.0 tonnes/ha CR in maize and wheat crops. The highest cost of cultivation was reported in 150% RDK and lowest cost of cultivation, highest gross returns, net returns and B: C ratios in maize and wheat were recorded in 50% RDK+KSB. Among residue management practices no CR registered the highest net returns and these were on par with 2 tonnes/ha CR in both the years of maize. However, in wheat highest returns were reported with 4.0 tonnes/ha CR and this was statistically at par to all the residue management practices except no CR. In both the crops, no CR showed highest B: C ratio followed by 2.0 tonnes/ha CR and 4.0 tonnes/ha CR. Lowest B: C ratio was recorded with 6.0 tonnes/ha CR. The strong correlation was observed between different yield attributes and yield in both the crops. Thus, application of 4.0 tonnes/ha CR and 50% RDK+KSB was cost effective, eco-friendly and sustainable K management practices under CA based maize-wheat cropping system and this may be recommended to farmers for adaptation.

Salinity tolerance of 22 varieties of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) was studied in National Phytotron Facility, ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi at five different salinity levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 mmol/L). Salt tolerance was identified by measuring changes of different physiological as well as morphological parameters such as chlorophyll, proline, MSI (Membrane Stability Index), shoot length, root length, dry weight, etc. In the present study, it was found that the amount of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll decreased with increase in the amount of salt concentration. At 100 mmol/L NaCl, the highest total chlorophyll content was found in Pusa Aditya, Haldighati, Lalit, Little Pink and Jaya, whereas lowest was observed in Pusa Sona, Yellow Gold and Himanshu. The rate of reduction in dry weight is dependent on the level of stress and variety. The greatest reduction in dry weight was found under 200 mmol/L NaCl treatment. The MSI reduced up to 47.64% under 200 mmol/L NaCl treatment from 85.65% of control. Reduction in MSI with increase in salinity may be due to high electrolyte leakage from cells of susceptible varieties. An increase in Proline content was observed under salt treated plants as compared to the plants under control. There was significant decrease in the root length with increase in the salt concentration. On the basis of modified standard evaluation score (SES) of visual salt injury, the 22 varieties can be grouped into tolerant, moderately tolerant, susceptible and highly susceptible with most of the varieties falling under the category of moderately tolerant. Little Pink, Lalit, Haldighati and Pusa Aditya falling under the tolerant category while Himanshu and Pusa Sona are grouped under susceptible and highly susceptible category respectively.

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is the richest source of vegetable oil in the world. Specific reproductive nature of the crop necessitates artificial pollination by collection and storage of pollen for breeding as well as generation of planting material for commercial cultivation. However, little information is available on the pollen viability and storage behavior of oil palm. The present study was conducted to standardize the processing and storage of oil palm pollen in respect of Dura and Pisifera fruit forms/types. Pollen of these two fruit forms were stored up to one year at room temperature (33±2°C), refrigerator(5°C), freezer (-5°C) and in deep freezer (-20°C) and the viability as well as germination were compared. For both the fruit types, pollen viability and germination declined as the storage temperature increased up to room temperature and the maximum germination was recorded in pollen stored under -20°C storage. Therefore, deep freezer can be used without any deleterious effect on pollen viability as well as germination. Pollen longevity was significantly reduced when stored at room temperature. Of the two oil palm fruittypes, Pisifera retained greater pollen viability and germination than Dura under all four storage temperatures. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of differential response of pollen from Dura and Pisifera fruit types in oil palm to storage temperatures.

Foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.] is an important minor millet, which is drought tolerant, rich in micronutrients and grown in the marginal and rainfed regions of India. Power core software was used to develop the core collection of foxtail millet using total of 1515 germplasm accessions, emanating from 21 different countries. Eleven quantitative and 13 qualitative traits were utilized to characterize the core collection. Each qualitative and quantitative trait was divided into discrete classes and 223 core entries were selected from them. Selected core entries comprises accessions predominantly from India (75.78%). Average Shannon-Weaver diversity (0.73) and Neiâ€™s diversity index (0.43) of core collection were higher for the entire collection indicating true representation of diversity available in the entire collection. Average polymorphism information content (PIC) value was 0.99. Core accessions were evaluated and validated using analysis of variance (ANOVA), descriptive statistics, clustering based on neighbour joining tree and principal component analysis. Accessions from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and North-East Region were distributed in almost all the clusters and sub-clusters suggesting lack of discrete relationship between geographic locations and clustering pattern. Thus, a highly diverse core collection representing the diversity of entire germplasm holding from different parts of the world was identified and this can be used for foxtail millet improvement programs as well as to identify trait-specific reference collections.

Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) fruits were harvested at physiological maturity stage and packed in polymeric films, viz heat shrinkable film (15μ) and cling film (15μ). The film packed and unpacked (control) fruit were stored under ambient conditions. Both films proved quiet effective in improving the post harvest life and maintaining the quality of fruits for 6 days. Shrink and cling film created modified atmosphere around the produce and reduced physiological loss in weight (0.24 and 3.67%, respectively), shrinkage and maintained firmness (12.92 and 10.92 lb, respectively) and colour (L-23.32 and 24.59, respectively) of the fruit until 6th day of storage. Ascorbic acid (12.08 and 11.25 mg/100g, respectively) and anthocyanin content (2.50 and 1.77 mg/100g, respectively) of the fruit was better maintained in packed fruits as compared to control. Total phenols remained higher in packed fruits (52 and 48 ppm, respectively). PPO activity displayed slighter and sluggish increase as well as decrease in the packing treatments that was prompt in case of unpacked fruits and reached to the maximum level (60.63 units/100 mg) on 6th day of the storage. Thus, packaging technology helps in minimizing the postharvest losses and maintaining the quality and nutritional value of brinjal during storage under ambient conditions.

Kernels from the stone of mango (Mangifera indica L.) were separated from outer leather by decortications and dried to evaluate the oil content. Conditions were optimized for oil extraction from mango seed kernel. The influence of various parameters such as temperature, time, volume of n-hexane (solvent) and particle size on oil yield was investigated. The results revealed that oil yield increased with increase in temperature, time and volume of solvent but decreased with the increase in the particle size. Maximum oil yield of 15.20% was obtained at 1 mm size grinded kernel particles with an extraction time of 90 minutes using 25g of mango kernel seed and 250 mL of n-hexane. The proximate composition and characteristics including the un-saponification matter and fatty acid contents of kernel oil were determined. The major fatty acids present in mango kernel were stearic (58.08%), palmitic acid (1.33%) and oleic (17.99%) and linoleic (2.86%). Mango seed kernel oil contained high un-saponifiable matter which could have good potential to be used in cosmetics.

Published: January 2023

The present investigation was carried out to assess the extent of genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance and genetic divergence using 33 gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus Hort) genotypes with 16 characters. Moderate to high GCV and PCV were recorded for almost all the characters under study emphasizing the existence of variation in the population. All the characters (except number of days required for spike initiation, number of days required for first floret opening and number of florets/spike) showed high heritability along with higher/moderate genotypic coefficient of variation and genetic advance indicating that most likely the heritability was due to additive gene effects and the genotypes under study were highly diverse and of great potential with regard to these characters, and therefore, these are more reliable for effective phenotypic selection. The inter-cluster average D2 value was maximum (25.54) between cluster II and VI followed by between cluster V and cluster VI (24.36). The minimum inter cluster distance was obtained between cluster I and cluster III (12.34), indicated that genotypes of cluster I and cluster III are very close to each other. The clustering pattern showed that genotypes of different geographical areas were clubbed in one group and also the genotypes of same geographical area were grouped into same cluster as well as in different cluster indicating formal relationship between geographical diversity and genetic diversity.

Published: January 2023

Genetic variability is the prerequisite for any crop to be improved. Mutation breeding is a best method identified to enhance the genetic variability in crops within short time. Knowing the limited variability in tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa), present investigation was undertaken for the improvement in this crop by utilizing the cultivars Phule Rajani and Prajwal. To induce variation, gamma radiation (2.5 - 15 Gy) was applied and the effect on flower and bulb characters were assessed in M1 generation. With increase in doses of gamma irradiation, gradual reduction in number of spikes, flower number, number of bulb, weight of bulb and bulb diameter was observed. In some cases lower dose was found simulative, while higher dose had inhibitory effect on morphological variation. Various macro mutations were scored for uniform flowering, reduced number of bulbs and spike number in M1 population. The mutants of VM1 generation not found stable in VM2 generation. But we could able to find the some more mutants from the maintained gamma irradiated population of VM2 generation related to change in flower shape. In general, freshly harvest tuberose bulbs of cv. Prajwal and Phuel Rajani responded more to gamma irradiation. From this study, it has found that gamma irradiation level, 7.5 Gy and 10.0 Gy were found optimal for mutation induction in these two tuberose cultivars.
