Characteristics and outcomes of infective endocarditis in South Africa: A retrospective cohort study
Authors: Poerstamper Simon , Pecoraro Alfonso J.K. , Doubell Anton F.
Published: December 2024

Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) remains a disease with significant morbidity and mortality for a predominantly young group of patients in South Africa. There is a paucity of data assessing contemporary outcomes of IE in South Africa, limiting our ability to institute strategies to improve the outcome of patients with IE in South Africa. Methods: A retrospective cohort of patients with IE was established from healthcare records for the period of 1 January 2017 - 31 December 2018. A profile of clinical, laboratory, microbiologic, echocardiographic, surgical, and morbidity and mortality data was compiled for each patient.

Results: A total of 75 patients with definite IE were included in this study. The mean age was 39.6 years with a male preponderance (68%). Mortality at 6 months (all cause) was 34.7% and embolic complications were common, especially cerebral embolism (21%). Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) was present in 28% of the cohort. A high rate of blood culture negative IE (BCNIE) was present (62.7%). In patients with a positive blood culture, Staphylococcus aureus (43%) and the viridans group of streptococci (32%) were the most common causative organisms.

Conclusion: IE in South Africa remains a disease with a significant mortality rate despite the young age of the patients affected. The high rate of BCNIE is a likely contributor to the associated adverse outcomes. Some of the features of IE in South Africa have evolved to resemble a profile of disease similar to cohorts from high-income countries with a Staphylococcal predominance and a reduction in underlying RHD as predisposing risk factor.
Influence of substrate particle size and detention time on mycelium-colonized sawdust efficiency for removal of faecal bacteria from slaughterhouse wastewater in batch treatment
Authors: Osarenotor Osayomwanbo , Aighewi Isoken Tito , Essandoh Helen Michelle Korkor , Tubio Juan Cruz
Published: December 2024

Mycofiltration is a recent cost-effective biotechnology that is still under development for wastewater treatment. The use of mycelium-colonised substrate for wastewater treatment in a batch system with delayed residence time and the effect of sawdust particles has not previously been considered. Slaughterhouse wastewater is discharged untreated in many developing countries majorly due to the high cost of existing conventional treatment systems. The effect of sawdust detention time and particle size on the removal efficiency of faecal bacteria from slaughterhouse wastewater by Pleurotus ostreatus mycelium was assessed in the lab using mycelium colonized with sawdust of particle sizes (0.6, 1.18, 2.36 mm and unsorted particle sizes) and under varying detention times (0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours) using batch treatment procedure. Hydrogen peroxide produced during mycelium colonisation of the sawdust was also evaluated. Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) was measured during this study to determine the oxidative capacity in each treatment reactor. The removal efficiency of Escherichia coli ranged from -7.9 – 77.2 % and was the highest for mycofilter with 2.36 mm sawdust particle size at 72 hours detention time (0.7 log removal). Salmonella spp. removal efficiency ranged from 0.66 – 71 % with the highest efficiency recorded in the system with 1.16 mm also at 72 hours (0.4 log removal). Mean hydrogen peroxide concentration ranged from 0.53±0.12 (unsorted inoculated) to 25.18±1.77 mg/l (1.18 mm, 72 hours). ORP values ranged from 5.0±2.2 mV (raw wastewater, 24 hours) to 232±55 mV (unsorted inoculated, 72 hours). The result of this study showed that substrate particle size and detention time have roles to play in the efficiency of mycofilters using batch treatment. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide was also influenced significantly by sawdust particle size. Therefore, there is a need to further study this system in a bid to optimize its ability to remove faecal bacteria from wastewater.

The results relating to the selection of probiotic strains confirm that one strain, identified as Streptococcus thermophilus exhibited the best probiotic activity, with an important tolerance to different degrees of pH and to bile salts, and a remarkable antibacterial activity and resistance to antibiotics. During in vivo studies, the administration of isolated lactic acid bacteria was evaluated after inducing intestinal disorders in rats. The microscopic observations of the histological section of the intestine showed an almost complete disappearance of the damages in the intestinal structure. The haematological parameters were in agreement with the results of the histological sections.
Sintaxis espacial como herramienta para la interpretación del entorno ferroviario: estaciones La Madrid y Taco Ralo (Tucumán, Argentina) como casos de estudio
Authors: Weber Alexis Ernesto , Caria Mario Alejandro
Published: December 2024

Se presentan los resultados de un estudio comparativo entre dos poblados ferroviarios del sur de la provincia de Tucumán (Argentina), con la finalidad de visualizar las dinámicas socio-espaciales que imperaron en los mismos, como consecuencia del establecimiento del sistema ferroviario. Tal como ocurrió en gran parte del territorio nacional, la llegada del ferrocarril a Tucumán en 1876 trajo aparejado grandes cambios, que se vieron inmediatamente reflejados en el trazado de sus villas o poblados, generando con ello nuevas formas de ocupación y adaptación al entorno. Con el objeto de avanzar en el conocimiento de ciertos aspectos, que han quedado desatendidos o relegados de las memorias oficiales de las compañías, es que utilizamos los postulados de la sintaxis espacial, junto con el empleo de softwares específicos para el análisis de datos, para poder establecer los significados no verbales inscriptos en estas nuevas formas de estructuración urbana y de la arquitectura asociada. Todo ello, nos permitió observar las formas de interacción entre los diferentes actores sociales (habitantes, trabajadores, pasajeros, etc.) y la estructuración urbana de dichos poblados.
Impact of extreme rainfall events on soil erosion in downstream Parnaíba River Basin, Brazilian Cerrado
Authors: Barbosa Wellynne Carla de Sousa , Guerra Antonio José Teixeira , Lima Iracilde Maria de Moura Fé
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of extreme rainfall events on soil erosion in the downstream Parnaíba River Basin, located in the Brazilian Cerrado. The analysis focused on rainfall erosivity (R factor) and soil erodibility (K factor) as key indicators. The average erosivity in the region was 9051 MJ mm h−1ha−1year−1, with a variation between 7943 and 10,081 MJ mm h−1ha−1year−1, suggesting a high erosive potential, mainly in the rainiest months, from December to April. The soils of the studied area, mainly Ultisols and Chernosols, present high to very high erodibility, with K factor values ranging from 0.025 to 0.050 t h MJ−1 mm−1. Furthermore, fieldwork revealed areas, near highways, with apparently fragile soils, as well as rills and gullies, identified through photographs taken during fieldwork. These locations, due to the combination of high erosivity and susceptible soils, were considered prone to the occurrence of erosion processes, representing an additional risk to local infrastructure. The spatialization of R and K factors, along with field observations, showed that much of the area is at high risk of erosion and landslides, particularly in regions with greater topographic variability and proximity to water bodies. These results provide a basis for the development of mitigation strategies, being important for the effective prevention of landslides.
Egy polgári, demokratikus államrend kísérlete a szélsőségek korában

Published: December 2024

Kerkai Jenő, a 20. század egyik legjelentősebb magyar jezsuitája 120 évvel ezelőtt, 1904-ben született. Széleskörű társadalmi tevékenységéből kiemelkedik a két világháború közötti magyar társadalom modernizálásáért, a vidéki szegényparasztság és az ipari munkásság felemeléséért folytatott
küzdelem. 1935-ben hívta életre a Katolikus Agrárifjúsági Legényegyletek Országos Testületét,
amely a korszak legfontosabb hivatásrendi mozgalmává nőtte ki magát. Kerkai Jenő munkássága
a pápai enciklikák szellemében és a jezsuita szolidarizmus közgazdasági iskolájának elvei mentén a
szociális igazságosság megteremtésére, a modern kapitalizmus humanizálására, egy demokratikus,
ugyanakkor mélyen Krisztus-hívő új Magyarország megteremtésére irányult. Mindezt nem forradalommal, hanem a nevelés és polgárosodás eszközeivel. A neotomizmus organikus társadalomszemléletre támaszkodva a perszonalizmust, az emberi személyiség társas voltát állította előtérbe és
ezáltal a polgári viszonyrendszer keresztény értelmezési lehetőségét ajánlotta mintaként a fejlődő
társadalom számára. Heinrich Pesch jezsuita közgazdász elméletére alapozva a szolidarizmus gazdaságetikai normarendszerét, a tőke kettős (személyes és társadalmi) természetét vallotta. A pápai
tanítást követve önkéntes, egyenjogú kapcsolatokból kinővő hivatásrendi önkormányzati szervezetek létrehozását javasolta, melyek a szolidáris társadalom alapegységeivé válhatnak, leküzdhetik az
individualista szemléletmódot, sőt a demokrácia korrektívumaiként is szolgálhatnak a populista,
etatista erőkkel szemben. A keresztény alapokra felépülő új államrendben a társadalmi-gazdasági
reformokat komoly autonómiával rendelkező, alulról építkező szervezetekkel kívánta megvalósítani, amely koncepcióhoz a kommunista üldöztetés és elnyomás időszakában is ragaszkodott.

Impact of wind in urban planning: A comparative study of cooling and natural ventilation systems in traditional Iranian architecture across three climatic zones
Authors: Ganjimorad Mina , Fernandez Jose Duran , Heiranipour Milad
Published: December 2024

This study explores the role of wind in shaping traditional Iranian architecture across three distinct climatic zones: cold mountainous (Hajij), hot desert (Yazd), and humid coastal (Rasht) with a focus on passive cooling and natural ventilation techniques. By examining the effects of wind on urban layouts, building orientation, and material selection, the research highlights architectural features such as windcatchers, courtyards, and insulation techniques that enhance thermal comfort across diverse environments. The study employs a comparative approach, analysing architectural adaptations like compact layouts and windbreaks in mountainous regions, and windcatchers and open courtyards in desert areas, illustrating how vernacular architecture aligns with each climate’s challenges. Using a combination of EnergyPlus simulations, field observations, and quantitative climate data, this research validates the efficiency of these traditional methods in moderating indoor temperatures, reducing energy demands, and providing sustainable comfort solutions. Comparative tables demonstrate the architectural adaptations across Rasht, Yazd, and Hajij, with metrics on urban density, building orientation, and material thermal properties. The findings underscore the enduring relevance of these ancient strategies in modern sustainable design, offering valuable insights for energy efficient, climate-responsive urban planning that minimises reliance on mechanical systems. By re-evaluating these indigenous cooling strategies, the study advocates for an integrated approach that merges local knowledge with modern sustainability practices, fostering resilience in architectural design for varied climatic contexts.
Impact of temporary conversion on the community: Categorisation and current case studies from Europe
Authors: Bujdáková Karolína , Schleicher Alexander
Published: December 2024

The subject of the use of the existing is nowadays a necessary part of thinking about architecture in the context of sustainability and ecology. What we have is often perceived as a limitation to be adapted to—this article tries to counterpose this phenomenon and thus to see it as a potential. The article works with the notion of architectural conversion to look at the possibilities of reusing the unused, focusing on the potential of the in-between time, i.e. the phase between the unused space and its new function. It is this in-between time that offers the space to temporarily grasp the problem of empty spaces. This research explores the concept of a temporary change in the function of a space that is planned and will not be repeated. Temporary conversions emerge as a likely potential strategy for revitalising vacant spaces and promoting community engagement. The article analyses case studies of temporary conversions from Europe to understand their impact on local communities. Key findings include the potential of temporary conversions to: stimulate the community to actively engage and encourage community participation in shaping their neighbourhood, recycle used elements or materials from a temporary conversion for another purpose, add underused sites to the mental map of residents, test new concepts before making permanent changes, bring diversified forms of artistic and cultural activities to the environment, and contribute to a more vibrant and inclusive urban environment. The article also highlights the importance of considering the life cycle of temporary interventions, which is understandably mostly shorter than the life cycle of standard long-term interventions, and their potential for long-term benefits. Such conversions can continue after their end and survive their temporary existence, through positive and beneficial impact for the community.
Towards an Improved Approach of Clay Minerals Mapping in the Northwestern Region of Algeria
Authors: Mehalli Zoulikha , Zigh Ehlem , Loukil A. , Ali Pacha A.
Published: December 2024

The availability of hyperspectral images has significantly facilitated clay minerals identification and mapping. Based on the Hyperion L1R hyperspectral dataset, this research aims to improve previous scientific work related to identifying and mapping clay minerals in the Djebel Meni region (northwestern of Algeria). Firstly, we enhance the dataset quality through pre-processing techniques like the removal of bad bands, radiometric calibration, and atmospheric correction. Secondly, the Spectral Information Divergence (SID) algorithm was employed by introducing endmembers derived with the Sequential Maximum Angle Convex Cone (SMACC) algorithm initially and then using Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) spectral signatures of Illite, Kaolinite, and Montmorillonite. The classification results show a correspondence between areas occupied by endmembers and JPL spectral signatures, which helps in matching endmembers with specific minerals. Finally, we conducted a comparative analysis of the two classifications outcomes against a reference map. This last is generated using SID algorithm, which takes ground truth spectral signatures as input. Our proposed approach using the SID classifier has given an overall accuracy score of 97.13% and 84.17% using endmembers image and JPL library respectively. The Kappa coefficient is respectively, with endmembers image and JPL, 0.93 and 0.57. These results show that the SID classification with the endmembers image is better than the SID classification with the JPL library because extracting the endmembers from the image is more accurate than doing that from the pure minerals analyzed in the laboratory. These promising results suggest that our approach could be extended to the identification of clay minerals in diverse hyperspectral datasets.

The paper presents a new dry-dock method for assessing the deformation of submarine hulls using TLS point cloud data and the point cloud spatial expansion method (PCSE). The advantage of the proposed approach is the high-resolution deformation analysis that can be conducted in the case of both the availability and a lack of technical documentation on the submarine hull. The geometry assessment involves two-plane hull symmetry in longitudinal sections of a tested Kobben-class submarine located in Gdynia, Poland. The features of PCSE introduce additional geometrical parameters that are not available in the original point cloud method. The procedure for local fitting of a plane into the expansion eliminates the problem of varying densities of the hull point cloud. Accuracies of several millimetres are achieved and are applicable to multi-temporal monitoring of the deformations of submarine hulls. The assessment of similar deformations is not possible in the original point cloud method, due to the unknown parameters of the orientation and curvature of the convex cylindrical hull surface. The PCSE-based parameterisation presented here enables the creation of alternative quasi-planar point cloud projections to extract new spatial information on the object. The results of this study were verified using theoretical values derived from design data on the Kobben-class submarine, and demonstrated the effectiveness of our method in terms of detecting deformations even without design references. The proposed methodology is uniform, and can be adapted to other symmetrical structures.

Indonesian Government has been planning the green economic strategy as an effort to prioritize the environmental sustainability. Green entrepreneurship aligns with this strategy by promoting environmentally-friendly business concept. This research aimed to reveal the effect of green entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial education on green entrepreneurial intention in Jakarta, with environmental awareness as a mediator. Using descriptive quantitative approach, data was gathered through non-probability sampling method by using purposive-sampling technique from 269 young respondents in Jakarta through questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted by using SEM-PLS with the assistance of SmartPLS software version 4. The results show that entrepreneurial education has a significant effect on green entrepreneurial intention, but green entrepreneurial orientation does not significantly affect green entrepreneurial intention in Jakarta. Nevertheless, the effect of green entrepreneurial orientation on green entrepreneurial intention can be fully - mediated by environmental awareness.

The Effect of Overconfidence, Representative, Anchoring, and Availability Biases on Investment Decisions and Market Efficiency
Authors: Murhadi Werner Ria , Irvansyah Daniel , Mahadwartha Putu Anom
Published: December 2024

This study looks at how behavioral biases affect investment choices and market efficiency. This research was conducted because many millennials invest on a bandwagon without having a good understanding of investment. This kind of study use the structural equation modeling analysis method. The study's findings indicate that the bias variable overconfidence behavior can strongly influence perceived market efficiency. Nevertheless, choices about investments are unaffected by the overconfidence bias, representational bias, anchoring, and availability behavior. The variable investment decision significantly influences perceived market efficiency. Investors with investment experience above five years and a high income can make a difference in investment decisions chosen by investors. This study theme's practical application relates to the findings of overconfidence bias, which has a substantial detrimental impact on investors' perceptions of market efficiency. A high degree of confidence among investors can lead to illogical judgments and disregarding all dangers, resulting in inefficient market circumstances.

Analysis of the Physical and Morphological Aspects of a Hydrographic Watershed with Critical Areas for the use of Water Resources, Brazil
Authors: Werneck Pedro Rondon , Macedo Humberto Rodrigues , Araujo Analice Timoteo de , Francisco Humberto Rodrigues , Feiden Aldi
Published: December 2024

Objective: Map the excavated ponds, hydrology, relief, slope and soil types in the Jesuítas river micro-watershed. Estimate the input of Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus due to fish production in excavated ponds.
 
Theoretical Framework: Georeferencing is one of the technologies applied in geoscience. It encompasses the collection, storage, processing, analysis and representation of data from a given geographical space, using computer systems.
 
Method: Open access geo-technological tools such as QGIS and Google Earth to create maps, morphometric indicators and estimate nutrient inputs from fish farming in excavated ponds in the Jesuítas Creek watershed. Qualitative and quantitative exploratory research on fish production in the municipalities that share the Jesuítas Creek watershed.
 
Results and Discussion: The Jesuítas Creek watershed has a favorable geomorphometry and road network for aquaculture production in excavated ponds. Fish production in the municipalities in 2023 reached 35,112 tons, especially in Nova Aurora, with Tilapia accounting for 99.6% of this production. Large excavated ponds, those larger than 6,000 m², are the most abundant in the watershed and are estimated to contribute the most nitrogen and phosphorus to the watershed hydrology.
 
Research Implications: Planning the orderly and environmental use of water resources for fish farming in the region. The maps and indices provided important data for the sustainable and economic expansion of fish farming.
 
Originality/Value: The mapping of ponds and physical resources, such as land use and occupation, is important information for analyzing the direction of the expansion of activities, as well as pointing out, on maps and data, the suitable locations and the actions needed for the sustainable planning of fish farming in the micro-watershed of the Jesuítas stream.
Kurd von Hardt et sa Fondation - Émergence d’un lieu de savoir au service des études classiques

Entrepreneur étranger aux milieux scientifiques et académiques, Kurd von Hardt (1889–1958) crée en 1949 une structure destinée à réunir les Européens autour de leur passé commun, l'Antiquité. Au prix d'un fort engagement personnel et de tâtonnements, ainsi que grâce à des conseils de savants influents, il voit sa Fondation Hardt se profiler comme une institution reconnue de soutien à la recherche dans le domaine des études classiques. Elle se distingue par la présence d'une bibliothèque scientifique et par l'organisation de colloques annuels, les Entretiens sur l'Antiquité classique. La qualité des travaux élaborés dans le cadre de la Fondation et la réponse qu'elle offre à certains besoins du monde intellectuel concourent à en faire un lieu de savoir original pour l'étude de l'Antiquité.
The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Associated Restrictions on Children’s Play: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Fielding Aidan , Harding Emma
Published: December 2024

Play is recognised for its essential role in children’s development and, as such, the right to play has been internationally ratified through the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, people’s day-to-day lives were universally disrupted by restrictions and children’s ability to play as usual was impacted. The aim of this review was to examine the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic affected children’s play around the world, and whether this differed as a function of their national context. Database searches were conducted between August 2022 and February 2023, whereby a total of 10 studies met inclusion and quality assessment criteria. Through a process of thematic synthesis, three analytical themes were identified: foundations of play; children’s pursuits and losses; and factors interacting with play. Each analytical theme consisted of three subthemes. Findings are discussed, as well as implications for practitioners and possible directions for future research.
Navigating the Transition: Factors Impacting Academic Success and Challenges Faced by First Semester Student Athletes in College
Authors: Milone Joseph , Risisky Deb , MacGregor Jim
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study was to better understand the factors that influenced first-semester college-athletes’ ability to succeed academically in the transition to collegiate life, focusing specifically on not only the factors that contributed to academic success but also those the athletes considered to be challenges or barriers during their first semester in college. Interviews (N = 9) were conducted with first-year college-athletes at a Division II regional university in the northeast United States over a two-year period to identify not only the factors that contributed to academic success but also those the athletes considered to be challenges or barriers during their first semester in college. Five themes emerged from the analysis of the data: (a) expectations, (b) accountability, (c) responsibility, (d) resources, and (e) support. The findings suggest opportunities for athletic departments, student affairs, and faculty to provide time management and organization skill training, help identify expectations, and encourage the use of resources to support students’ academic journey.
Voluntary early retirement from sport: the lived experiences of former NCAA DIII student-athletes
Authors: Darvin Lindsey , Konotopskyj Ryan , Ryder Ashley
Published: December 2024

Intercollegiate athletics offer amateur athletes an approximately four-year window to pursue their athletic careers (Hodges & Darvin, 2022). While many athletes complete their full eligibility, some choose to retire early (Zvosec & Bass, 2022). At the NCAA Division III level, motivations for early retirement remain unclear, and the experiences of former student-athletes are often overlooked (Zvosec & Bass, 2022; Hodges & Darvin, 2022). Despite DIVISION III's large athlete population, research seldom delves into their experiences. This study aims to explore why former Division III athletes voluntarily leave their sport. Transitioning out of collegiate sports poses significant challenges, affecting athletes' identities, career goals, and well-being. The Theory of Work Adjustment (TWA) offers a framework for understanding this transition (Hesketh & Griffin, 2005). TWA emphasizes aligning individual skills, values, and environmental requirements, providing insights into how athletes experience this phenomenon (Camire et al., 2012). Semi-structured interviews with 15 early retirees revealed factors influencing their decision, including controlling coaching behavior, a win-at-all-costs culture, lack of support, and burnout. This study sheds light on the DIVISION III student-athlete experience, informing coaches, administrators, and institutions.
