Published: February 2022

The dreadful nature of hepatitis-B virus (HBV) and HIV infections and their common mode of transmission during pregnancy have made them become an important global health problem and a leading cause of maternal complications and neonatal deaths in both developed and developing countries. The current study determined the seroprevalence of HBV and HIV amongst pregnant women receiving antenatal care services in Kano state. Structured questionnaires were distributed to 276 (14-49 years) consenting pregnant women across the six selected health facilities to obtain demographic and socio-economic data. Three (3) ml of venous blood sample were drawn by venipuncture and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 min. The serum was tested for the presence of HIV antibodies using the Abbott Determine HIV 1/2 test kit and HBV antibodies using a rapid diagnostic test kit (DiaSpot Diagnostics, USA). The \chi2 test for independence was determined using GraphPad InStat software (version 3.0). Sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents showed 95.7% of the respondents as being married, 64.5% lived in a monogamous family, 62.4% petty traders, 26.8% unemployed, 57.4% of them are 21 – 30 years of age, 41.3% have Quranic education, 28.3% are 1st gravida while 36.9% have more than 4 children. Additionally, 1.4% of HIV and 8% of HBV cases were confirmed. The chi-squared test for independence (\chi2=13.078, P=0.0003) showed a significant relationship between the two variables. HIV and HBV infections existed in the study group. Regular screening, awareness, and health education programs on the mode of their transmission should be directed to pregnant women to prevent vertical transmission.

Published: February 2022

The study was conducted to assess the effect of intra-row spacing on the incidence and severity of viral disease on soybean during the wet cropping season in 2019 at the National Cereal Research Institute (NCRI), Mokwa field, located in the Southern Guinea savanna of Nigeria at an altitude of about 212 metres above sea level. Observation and data collection were done on the disease incidence and severity rating; also, plant height, the number of leaves, the number of pods per plant, the number of seeds per pod and Grain yield (t/ha) were determined at harvest. Data collected on growth and yield parameters were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the general linear model (PROC GLM) procedure of SAS (2008). The means of significant (p≤0.05) F-test were separated using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) at a 5% probability level. The Elisa results obtained revealed the presence of Cowpea mottle virus, Cowpea yellow mosaic virus and Soybean mosaic virus. Also, the field trial showed that the different spacing and soybean cultivars investigated differ significantly on the variables tested. However, optimum spacing at 20 cm and 1448 - 2E had significantly (P<0.05) increased in all vegetative, reproductive growth and yield as well as reduced incidence of the soybean viruses detected in the field. From the above results, spacing at 20 cm with the cultivation of soybean cultivar 1448 - 2E and appropriate cultural practices are hereby recommended to farmers in the area.

Authors: Bachev Hrabrin
Published: February 2022

Despite the great theoretical and practical significance, in Bulgaria there are no comprehensive analysis of the state and evolution of agrarian research and development (ARD) activities in public and private sectors. The goal of this paper is to analyze the state and evolution of ARD in Bulgaria during the period after country’s EU accession in 2007, identify major trends in that area, make a comparison with other EU states, specify main problems, and suggest conclusions for improvement of policies during next programing period. The analysis has found out that in years of EU membership the expenditures for ARD significantly decreased absolutely and relatively as a share in the total expenditures for R&D, which indicates diminishing importance, and deteriorating financial, personnel and material potential of agrarian knowledge and innovation sector. The most important sector for ARD in the country is the government in which more than 80% of overall expenditures for ARD are invested, as distribution of expenditures and organization of R&D in major sectors differ considerably from other EU member states. ARD in the country mainly are funded by the state budget, and the importance of budget financing relatedly increases during the period, unlike trends in other EU countries.
La performatività posthuman
Authors: Patti Federica
Published: February 2022

L’accelerazione tecnologica continua a rivoluzionare la liveness lasciando emergere un alto gradiente di performatività anche nelle semplici abitudini multimediali quotidiane. L’ubiquità pervasiva dei media digitali influenza profondamente i modi e gli stili in cui la performance viene agita e fruita. Attivando efficaci dinamiche di connessione e coinvolgimento del pubblico, strumenti come lo streaming, la realtà virtuale e aumentata, l’intelligenza artificiale, il mapping, l’interaction design consentono oggi di allestire esperienze multimediali che offrono una dimensione sociale e comunicativa completamente diversa, all’insegna della transdisciplinarietà e dell’approccio post-antropocentrico. La live media performance è da considerarsi quindi come specifico settore di produzione artistica e di indagine, in cui è possibile far rientrare diverse tipologie di formati e pratiche. Gli agenti elettronici in scena vengono progettati per trasmettere un senso di interconnessione profonda tra i protagonisti, il pubblico e tutto ciò che li circonda.  Il palcoscenico diventa così una dimensione sospesa, un “luogo della mente” sinestetico e immersivo, in cui viene ricostruita la realtà come risultato di un agire non soltanto umano. La tecnosfera diviene in questo senso un partner di lavoro. Attraverso l’analisi di ricerche e di linguaggi artistici multimediali performativi emblematici di questo settore disciplinare, si proporrà una suggestione interpretativa transdisciplinare post-antropocentrica e postumana, prestando attenzione alle forme sia umane sia non umane di azione e gesto espressivo.

Evaluating the impact of non-oil tax revenue on Nigerian economic performance
Authors: George Wadike C , Monday Osirim , Chukwu Gospel J
Published: February 2022

This study is focused on investigating whether there is any significant relationship between non-oil tax revenue and Nigerian economic performance from 1985 to 2071. Data for this research study were secondary sources generated from the annual reports and statements of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics and the Central Bank of Nigeria. The ordinary least square was used to evaluate the strength of the relationship between the variables. The results of the analysis show a positive and significant relationship between companies’ income tax and gross domestic product; however the relationship between personal income tax and gross domestic product is only positive but not significant. The study concludes therefore that non-oil tax revenue has the potential to improve Nigerian economic performance as the explanatory variables indicated a positive signs. Based on the findings and the conclusion drawn, the study recommends among others that the Nigerian government and its revenue agencies should redefine the existing policy on company income tax by having intensified policy direction aimed at encouraging diversification and entrepreneurial development especially in the tourism, entertainment, information communication technology, medical services and solid mineral sectors. Policy direction should also be geared towards the development of the manufacturing and agro-allied sectors. This will not only expand the tax base but also boost the gross domestic product and by extension the economic performance. For personal income tax, it is recommended that tenet of fiscal transparency and accountability of revenue mobilized for the betterment of the people should be employed and implemented to encourage taxable persons to voluntarily and honestly disclose their aggregate incomes for tax purposes.
Tax revenue buoyancy and human capital development in Nigeria: The case of direct taxation
Authors: Monday Osirim , George Wadike C , Chukwu Gospel J
Published: February 2022

This paper is aimed at determining if direct taxes in Nigeria are buoyant and have significant relationship with human capital development. To achieve this primary objective, time series data were sourced from the Federal Inland Revenue Services and the National Bureau of Statistics covering a period from 1980 to 2017. Since the data already exist and cannot be manipulated, the ex-post facto research design was found appropriate and thus adopted. Direct taxes were proxy by petroleum profit tax buoyancy and company income tax buoyancy while human development index was used as a surrogate for human capacity development. The result shows that petroleum profit and companies income taxes are inefficient and not buoyant as the buoyancy and elasticity coefficients are less than one (bt < 1). It also shows that a positive and but insignificant relationship exist between petroleum profit tax buoyancy and human capital development. Furthermore, the relationship between companies’ income tax buoyancy and human capital development is found to be positive and significant. Based on these outcomes it was recommended that to improve human capital development and buoyancy of petroleum profit tax, the mobilized tax should be efficiently utilized in providing quality education, healthcare services, and basic infrastructures to the people. To further improve company income tax buoyancy; there should be continuous and regular review of the Nigerian company income tax statutes and other tax related issues by government agencies. Such tax reviews should be systematic and in alignment with the current macroeconomic objectives of the government and international best practices that will engender foreign direct investment and create enabling environment for private businesses to thrive. Such tax reforms should be directed at blocking tax leakages especially in the black market economy and any known loopholes in the tax legislations.

Published: February 2022

The Five Star Movement (M5S) is one of those populist parties that is often misunderstood. Throughout the years, the media, independent journalists, and bloggers—as well as well-known academics and commentators—have struggled to define this “strange political creature.” Some have labeled it a polymorphous “hybrid-party” and others a “movement-party.” The mistake most analysts make when discussing the M5S is that they somehow forget the party’s left-wing origins.

Published: February 2022

Dynamic Pricing (DP), also known as surge pricing or dynamic price management, is the adjustment of prices for goods and services depending on the current market situation. Its purpose is to maximize profit, and the practice is getting more and more common. Dynamic pricing was first spotted in online retail; Also in offline retail, it can be found, e.g. as electronic price tags, as well as in on-demand services in mobility and smart meters in the energy industry. Dynamic pricing offers opportunities for vendors. The goal of this paper is to examine the current status and the new opportunities and risks of Dynamic Pricing in retail, mobility and the energy sector, made possible by digitization. This is done on the one side with expert interviews and on the other with an online research. 5 experts were interviewed and 238 respondents answered a questionnaire. 12 hypotheses were formulated, out of which 9 were confirmed, 1 was completely rejected and 2 were partially rejected. The unexpected results were: (1) Electronic price labels in stationary retail trade do not worry consumers with regard to momentary price changes. (2) Consumers do not prefer dynamic pricing models in car sharing. (3) Consumers can benefit from dynamic pricing models in the case of the aviation industry.

The aim of this work to provide readers with insights as on how to utilize DP in their respective industries.

The generation of solid urban waste (MSW) has grown significantly in recent decades, mainly due to the increase in population and urban areas. Thus, it is necessary to know the quantity and composition of these materials, especially in small municipalities, where the management of this waste is still deficient. In this sense, the present study aims to analyze the production of solid urban waste and its gravimetry in eight municipalities in the sertão of Alagoas. As a source of data, the State Solid Waste Plan of the State of Alagoas - Sertão Region and economic information from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics were used. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was employed. The municipalities were characterized by a low urban population and low GDP per capita values. High variability was observed for the daily generation of MSW, with the predominance of the organic fraction, followed by plastic. On the other hand, low percentages of metals (<5%) were observed. The ACP explained 69.2% of the original variance of the data in the first two axes and evidenced the strong association between economic aspects and the gravimetric composition of the residues. In view of the large amount of organic material present in the residues of the study area, actions for the use and proper disposal of this fraction, such as composting, should be encouraged.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the dose distribution, as well as tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complications probability (NTCP) models for females with left-sided breast cancer for 3D-CRT, 6, and 9 fields intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and hypofractionated tangential plans. Methods: Eighty females with left-sided breast cancer (N1T1 – N3T3) were included in this study. The patients were divided into breast conserving surgery (BCS) (n= 50) and mastectomy (n=30) patients. CT simulation images of the patients were imported on the treatment planning software (TiGRT, LinaTech, China) and the tangential treatment plans of the mentioned methods were done, using TPS. Dose assessments were performed, employing the TPS, and TCP-NTCP models of stated modalities were done, using Poisson linear-quadatric (PLQ) and Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB) models on MATLAB and R software. Results: For the BCS and post-mastectomy patients, 6FIMRT imposed lower doses to ipsilateral lung, heart, LAD, RCA, and contralateral breast compared to 9FIMRT, hypofractionated RT, and 3D-CRT (P < 0.005). Also, the NTCPs of the mentioned normal tissues for 6FIMRT were lower than other methods for both BCS and post-mastectomy groups. Moreover, it was found that the V20Gy for Ipsilateral lung and the V25Gy for heart, LAD, and RCA of 6FIMRT, 9FIMRT, and hypofractionated RT was significantly lower compared to 3D-CRT (P < 0.005) for both BCS and mastectomy groups, while there were no significant differences among them for the 6FIMRT and 9FIMRT with hypofractionated RT (P > 0.005). The TCP values of 9FIMRT, 6FIMRT, and hypofractionated RT were not considerably different; however, the TCP values of 3D-CRT were lower compared to other stated methods. Conclusions: 6FIMRT is a suitable choice for RT of patients with left-sided breast cancer compared to other mentioned modalities, as a result of providing adequate PTV dose coverage and TCPs. Also, it may impose lower doses and NTCPs for OARs. Hypofractionated RT is a good alternative to reduce treatment time for patients with breast cancer.

The pandemic of COVID-19 created an unexpected challenge to the whole educational system and reintroduced the topic of distance learning and its importance. Society reacted to epidemiological restrictions in social contacts by transferring the education into the virtual space but older English language learners benefit from social contacts and are usually limited in digital skills.The article analysis situation in the English language courses of the Universities of the Third Age (U3A) in the Czech Republic between March 2020 and July 2020. The text is based on a literature review and questionnaires to the U3A organisers and leads to the conclusion that older English language learners were left only with limited opportunities for their English language development at that time.
Aktivity podporující rozvoj nepřímých strategií učení v současných učebnicích francouzštiny pro dospělé studenty
Authors: Pecková Simona
Published: February 2022

Cílem této práce je zjistit, zda a do jaké míry současné učebnice obecného francouzského jazyka pro dospělé podporují u studentů rozvoj nepřímých strategií učení. Metodou výzkumu byla obsahová analýza, při které jsme detailně prozkoumali 5 sérií současných učebnic francouzského jazyka. Bylo zjištěno, že většina z těchto sérií učebnic nepřímé strategie učení rozvíjí spíše v menší míře. Za nejzdařilejší v tomto ohledu považujeme sérii Nouveau Rond-Point. Autoři této řady učebnic věnují pozornost všem typům nepřímých strategií učení – tj. jak metakognitivní, tak afektivní i socializační.

In this study, we report the results of a taxonomic survey of terrestrial isopods from Isla Grande, a ca 2 km2 island located in the north of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. We found a total of 17 species belonging to nine families and 10 genera. Eight of these species have been reported only from the Caribbean region, nine are recorded for the first time in Colombia, and three are new to science and described here: Tylos negroi López-Orozco, Carpio-Díaz & Campos-Filho sp. nov., Stenoniscus nestori López-Orozco, Taiti & Campos-Filho sp. nov. and Armadilloniscus luisi Carpio-Díaz, Taiti & Campos-Filho sp. nov. Our revision also determined that the genus Microphiloscia is a junior synonym of Halophiloscia; and moreover, Halophiloscia trichoniscoides comb. nov. is redescribed. We also provide illustrations for Armadilloniscus caraibicus and Armadilloniscus ninae. Most (16) of the species were found in coastal habitats (i.e., beaches, coastal lagoons and mangroves), whereas the tropical dry forest harbored only two species. Molecular phylogenetic inferences supported the presence of three species of Tylos in Isla Grande (i.e., one new species and a new lineage within each of two known species). Our work on Tylos highlights the importance of combining taxonomic and molecular analyses to support taxonomic decisions and uncover cryptic diversity. Due to the multiple threats to Caribbean coastal habitats, taxonomic and molecular genetic research are urgently needed to understand biodiversity patterns of oniscideans in the Caribbean, which will inform strategies for their protection. Such studies will also contribute to our knowledge of their evolution, ecology, and potential uses, as well as the factors that have shaped the remarkable Caribbean biodiversity.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to determine pharmacists' perceived knowledge and expertise required to deliver pharmaceutical care services to pediatric patients.

METHODS

Once ethical approval was obtained, a questionnaire was posted on local pharmacy groups. The questionnaire is composed of 4 domains: 1) Demographics, 2) Perceived knowledge of pediatric treatment and dosing, 3) Real-life pediatric cases, and 4) Future aspirations to enhance pediatric pharmacy.

RESULTS

A total of 200 questionnaires were completed and submitted online. Most participants (62.5%) practiced in a community setting. Most respondents (40%) reported that 41% to 60% of their patients were pediatrics. In general, respondents had a good perception of their knowledge and expertise to deliver pharmaceutical care services to pediatric patients. However, most respondents had a low knowledge score when faced with real-life pediatric cases. On a scale of 7 most respondents obtained the score of 2 (32%).

CONCLUSIONS

The present study sheds light on an alarming lack of knowledge in pediatric pharmaceutics among pharmacies in Jordan. Further training and educational programs should be put in place to address this gap in knowledge.

The increasing use of carbapenems has contributed to a notable distribution of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). Recently, the incidence of CRE-associated infections is increasing significantly in NICUs, which pose a grave challenge to clinical treatment. We report 2 cases of IV ceftazidimeavibactam use to treat CRE infections in extremely premature neonates. The first case was diagnosed with bacteraemia and meningitis and the second one was diagnosed with bacteraemia only. Due to the lack of neonatal-specific information for IV ceftazidime-avibactam, the usual pediatric dose (62.5 mg/kg/dose every 8 hours) was used in these patients. Clinical cure occurred in these 2 patients. Although blood cultures became sterile after starting ceftazidime-avibactam in the second case, the patient died, presumably owing to sepsis or various causes, such as prematurity and chronic lung disease. Large and randomized studies are necessary to ensure the safety and efficacy of IV ceftazidime-avibactam for the treatment of neonates with sepsis caused by multidrug resistant organisms.

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world and is associated with significant morbidity. Atherosclerosis is the main cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure, and stroke. The mechanism of atherosclerosis has not been well investigated in different aspects, such as the relationship between oxidative stress and endothelial function. This project aims to investigate whether an oxidative enzyme vascular peroxidase 1 (VPO1) and activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) can be used as biomarkers in highlighting the pathogenesis of the disease and in evaluating the prognosis of the relationship with endoplasmic reticulum and oxidative stress. This paper used artificial neural network analysis to predict cardiovascular disease risk based on new generation biochemical markers that combine vascular inflammation, oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Methods: For this purpose, 80 patients were evaluated according to the coronary angiography results. hs-CRP, lipid parameters and demographic characteristics, VPO1, ATF4 and Glutathione peroxidase 1(GPx1) levels were measured. Results: We found an increase in VPO1 and hs-CRP levels in single-vessel disease as compared to controls. On the contrary, ATF4 and GPx1 levels were decreased in the same group, which was not significant. Our results showed a significant positive correlation between ATF4 and lipid parameters. A statistically significant positive correlation was also observed for VPO1 and ATF4 (r=0.367, P<0.05), and a negative correlation was found for ATF4 and GPx1 (r=-0.467, P<0.01). A significant negative relationship was noted for GPx1 and hs-CRP in two/three-vessel disease (r=-0.366, P<0.05). Artificial neural network analysis stated that body mass index (BMI) and smoking history information give us an important clue as compared to age, gender and alcohol consumption parameters when predicting the number of blocked vessels. Conclusions: VPO1 and ATF4 might be potential biomarkers associated with coronary artery disease, especially in the follow-up and monitoring of treatment protocols, in addition to traditional risk factors.
