Copper-To-Zinc Ratio as an Inflammatory Marker in Patients with Sickle Cell Disease
Authors: Emokpae Mathias Abiodun , Fatimehin Emmanuel Bamidele
Published: December 2020

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder and a major health challenge in Nigeria. Micronutrient deficiencies often associated with the disorder may cause inflammation and abnormal metabolism in the body. The copper-to-zinc ratio is a more relevant diagnostic measure than the concentration of either metal alone in clinical practice. This study seeks to evaluate serum levels of c-reactive protein (CRP), copper, zinc and the copper-to-zinc ratio, and to correlate the latter with CRP in adult subjects with SCD. Serum copper, zinc, CRP and plasma fibrinogen were assayed in 100 confirmed SCD patients in steady clinical state and 100 age- and sex-matched subjects with normal hemoglobin. Serum copper and zinc were assayed by the colorimetric method using reagents supplied by Centronic, Germany, while CRP and fibrinogen were assayed using reagents supplied by Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA) and Anogen (Ontario, Canada), respectively. The copper-to-zinc ratio was calculated from serum levels of copper and zinc. The measured parameters were compared between the groups using the Students t-test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to relate CRP with the other parameters. Serum copper, CRP, fibrinogen and the copper-to-zinc ratio were significantly higher (p < 0.001), while zinc level was lower in SCD patients than in controls. Serum CRP concentration correlated with copper (r = 0.10; p < 0.02), zinc (r = −0.199; p < 0.05) and the copper-to-zinc ratio (r = 0.312; p < 0.002), but the correlation between CRP and fibrinogen was not significant. Inflammation may modulate copper and zinc homeostasis, and the copper-to-zinc ratio may be used as a marker of nutritional deficiency and inflammation in SCD patients.

A new series of amino acid derivatives of quinolines was synthesized through the hydrolysis of amino acid methyl esters of quinoline carboxamides with alkali hydroxide. The compounds were purified on silica gel by column chromatography and further characterized by TLC, NMR and ESI-TOF mass spectrometry. All compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity against different bacterial strains using the microdilution method. Most of the synthesized amino acid-quinolines show more potent or equipotent inhibitory action against the tested bacteria than their correspond esters. In addition, many of them exhibit fluorescent properties and could possibly be utilized as fluorophores. Molecular docking and simulation studies of the compounds at putative bacterial target enzymes suggest that the antimicrobial potency of these synthesized analogues could be due to enzyme inhibition via their favorable binding at the fluoroquinolone binding site at the GyrA subunit of DNA gyrase and/or the ParC subunit of topoisomerase-IV.

Published: December 2020

In the light of recent emergencies represented by climate change and global warming, with the consequent policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, this research aims at offering a response to the need for decarbonization of anthropization processes of territories, on a building and urban scale. This study elaborates a methodology, according to an integrated qualitative-quantitative approach, which combines the strategic need for sustainable mobility with the need to enhance the value of natural and environmental interesting places, typical of the Mediterranean area and in particular the ones which represented the heart of Magna Graecia. This strategy is implemented through a growing mobility offer in recent years: sustainable cycling tourism, which is included in the wider and more widespread strategic action of greenways. However, these strategies do not often meet the interests of the public administration, which is refractory to face great costs in exchange for a hypothetical return on investment, in the long term; the result is the abandonment and degradation of territories characterized by a remarkable naturalistic, landscape and environmental value. The aim of this study, therefore, is to provide operators in the sector (public administration, Cilento National Park Authority, economic operators, etc.) with a decision-maintenance tool, through the definition of priority criteria for interventions, according to an economic sustainability approach of the intervention and adopting an integrated qualitative-quantitative methodology. The intervention, as a whole, involves a cycle path of about 600 km, passing through 70 countries of the territory. Therefore, assuming the impossibility of being carried out at the same time, as a whole, it has been divided into 23 functional lots: the methodology intends, precisely, to define the priority and necessity criteria that determine the classification of importance of the 23 routes (sub-interventions), identified in this study.

Published: December 2020

The case study focuses on evaluating the suitability of roof surfaces in terms of their solar potential based on their geometric parameters. The selected processing methodology detects segments of roof surfaces from the LiDAR base, supplemented with spatial information (orthophoto map, real estate cadastre (REC)—footprint, basic database for the geographic information system (ZBGIS)—classification of buildings—current use). The approach based on spatial analyses takes into account the limit conditions for determining the impact of solar radiation resulting from the roof area, slope, aspect, and hillshade. Considering to the available subsidy scheme for family houses in the conditions of the Slovak Republic, a narrower sample of 35 family houses was selected from the total number of typologically represented buildings (194). A 3D model of the building created by combining REC and LiDAR substrates shows the roof surface without overlap, while another 3D model made of LiDAR substrates alone represents the actual dimension of the roof surface. The results presented for each selected building show good agreement with each other, and their visualizations were obtained using two GIS environment approaches. In the area of family houses, up to 94% of the roof areas of buildings registered in the REC meet the conditions for the installation of a PV system with an output of 2.6/3.3 kW.
Efficacious Analytical Technique Applied to Fractional Fornberg–Whitham Model and Two-Dimensional Fractional Population Model
Authors: Enyi Cyril D.
Published: December 2020

This paper presents an efficacious analytical and numerical method for solution of fractional differential equations. This technique, here in named q-HATM (q-homotopy analysis transform method) is applied to a one-dimensional fractional Fornberg–Whitham model and a two-dimensional fractional population model emanating from biological sciences. The overwhelming agreement of our analytical solution by the q-HATM technique with the exact solution indeed establishes the efficacy of q-HATM to solve the fractional Fornberg–Whitham model and the two-dimensional fractional population model. Furthermore, comparisons by means of extensive analysis using numerics, graphs and error analysis are presented to affirm the preference of q-HATM technique over other methods. A variant of the q-HATM using symmetry can also be considered to solve these problems.
Better Understanding: Stylized Image Captioning with Style Attention and Adversarial Training
Authors: Yang Zhenyu , Liu Qiao , Liu Guojing
Published: December 2020

Compared with traditional image captioning technology, stylized image captioning has broader application scenarios, such as a better understanding of images. However, stylized image captioning faces many challenges, the most important of which is how to make the model take into account both the image meta information and the style factor of the generated captions. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end stylized image captioning framework (ST-BR). Specifically, we first use a style transformer to model the factual information of images, and the style attention module learns style factor form a multi-style corpus, it is a symmetric structure on the whole. At the same time, we use back-reinforcement to evaluate the degree of consistency between the generated stylized captions with the image knowledge and specified style, respectively. These two parts further enhance the learning ability of the model through adversarial learning. Our experiment has achieved effective performance on the benchmark dataset.
Development of PCR, LAMP and qPCR Assays for the Detection of Aflatoxigenic Strains of Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus in Hazelnut
Authors: Ortega Sara Franco , Siciliano Ilenia , Prencipe Simona , Gullino Maria Lodovica , Spadaro Davide
Published: December 2020

Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus are two species able to produce aflatoxins in foodstuffs, and in particular in hazelnuts, at harvest and during postharvest phase. As not all the strains of these species are aflatoxin producers, it is necessary to develop techniques that can detect aflatoxigenic from not aflatoxigenic strains. Two assays, a LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) and a real time PCR with TaqMan® probe were designed and validated in terms of specificity, sensitivity, reproducibility, and repeatability. The capability of the strains to produce aflatoxins was measured in vitro and both assays showed to be specific for the aflatoxigenic strains of A. flavus and A. parasiticus. The limit of detection of the LAMP assay was 100–999 picograms of DNA, while the qPCR detected 160 femtograms of DNA in hazelnuts. Both techniques were validated using artificially inoculated hazelnuts and naturally infected hazelnuts. The qPCR was able to detect as few as eight cells of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus in naturally infected hazelnut. The combination of the LAMP assay, which can be performed in less than an hour, as screening method, with the high sensitivity of the qPCR, as confirmation assay, is able to detect aflatoxigenic strains already in field, helping to preserve the food safety of hazelnuts.
Covid-19-Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis: The Other Side of the Coin
Authors: Costantini Claudio , van de Veerdonk Frank L. , Romani Luigina
Published: December 2020

The immune response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a critical factor in the clinical presentation of COVID-19, which may range from asymptomatic to a fatal, multi-organ disease. A dysregulated immune response not only compromises the ability of the host to resolve the viral infection, but may also predispose the individual to secondary bacterial and fungal infections, a risk to which the current therapeutic immunomodulatory approaches significantly contribute. Among the secondary infections that may occur in COVID-19 patients, coronavirus-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) is emerging as a potential cause of morbidity and mortality, although many aspects of the disease still remain unresolved. With this opinion, we present the current view of CAPA and discuss how the same mechanisms that underlie the dysregulated immune response in COVID-19 increase susceptibility to Aspergillus infection. Likewise, resorting to endogenous pathways of immunomodulation may not only restore immune homeostasis in COVID-19 patients, but also reduce the risk for aspergillosis. Therefore, CAPA represents the other side of the coin in COVID-19 and our advances in the understanding and treatment of the immune response in COVID-19 should represent the framework for the study of CAPA.

Published: December 2020

Although schools are known to play a major role in the spread of influenza virus, few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of vaccination and non-pharmaceutical measures for preventing influenza outbreaks in schools. We investigated all febrile illness outbreaks in primary and secondary schools in Beijing reported between August 2018 and July 2019. We obtained epidemiological information on febrile illness outbreaks and oral pharyngeal swabs from students in the outbreaks to test for influenza virus. We surveyed schools that did not report febrile illness outbreaks. We developed multi-level models to identify and evaluate factors associated with serious influenza outbreaks and explored the association of vaccine coverage and outbreaks using multi-stage regression models. We identified a total of 748 febrile illness outbreaks involving 8176 students in Beijing; 462 outbreaks were caused by influenza virus. Adjusted regression modeling showed that large class size (odds ratio (OR) = 2.38) and the number of days from identification of the first case to initiation of an intervention (OR = 1.17) were statistically significant and positively associated with serious outbreaks, and that high vaccination coverage (relative risk (RR) = 0.50) was statistically significant and negatively associated with outbreaks. Multi-stage regression modeling showed that RR decreased fastest when vaccination coverage was 45% to 51%. We conclude that high influenza vaccination coverage can prevent influenza outbreaks in schools and that rapid identification of febrile children and early initiation of non-pharmaceutical measures can reduce outbreak size.

Authors: Gervais P
Published: December 2020

Cette étude porte sur les cinq départements bretons et fournit en annexe un inventaire précis de leurs clubs et sociétés populaires. Le texte commente ces données en présentant une géographie qui fait apparaître l’importance du fait urbain, celle du réseau de communications et des lieux d’échanges, comme de l’implantation littorale. La langue n’est pas un obstacle puisque la Bretagne bretonnante se révèle plus richement dotée que le pays gallo. Des réseaux d’influence se dessinent, précisant les contrastes d’un espace politique où s’esquissent des options durables. La chronologie des fondations met en valeur deux séquences, l’une précoce (1790-91) l’autre tardive (an II).

Cette recherche couvre l’ensemble de la Provence mais aussi une partie du Dauphiné. Attentive à suivre le frayage qui a conduit des formes traditionnelles de sociabilité, à travers les confréries, à la sociabilité politique des Sociétés Populaires sous la Révolution, elle confronte la cartographie précise des pénitents et des sociétés populaires dans ces régions. La corrélation manifeste qui s’y révèle n’est pas sans révéler des nuances importantes, ainsi entre Provence et Dauphiné. Une étude menée à partir des statuts des confréries, comme des règlements des Sociétés Populaires amène à affiner et diversifier le «modèle méridional» en suggérant l'importance des traditions municipales des communautés.
Les conceptions de la république en Europe Centrale au XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Reinalter Helmut
Published: December 2020

En Allemagne, la République devint un concept central dans le débat philosophique à partir des révolutions américaine et française. Chez Kant, ce concept recouvre tout régime politique où le pouvoir est construit sur la volonté générale du peuple souverain, où les citoyens sont soumis à des lois juridiques. Il est donc une norme éternelle pour toute constitution. Il y eut en Allemagne plusieurs conceptions de la concrétisation de ce concept, y compris la monarchie constitutionnelle. En dehors des jacobins de la rive gauche du Rhin, peu d’auteurs ont propagé l’idée que la république démocratique dont la France de l’an II donnait l’exemple, était la seule légitime.
Une république catalane au temps de la Révolution ?
Authors: Roura i Aulinas Lluís
Published: December 2020

Peut-on parler d’une volonté politique de la France républicaine de créer une république-sœur en Catalogne ? En février 1793, c’est le souci de l’issue de la guerre contre l’Espagne qui l’emporta et il n’y eut guère de prise en compte de la spécificité de la Catalogne. En l’an II, les représentants en mission à l’armée des Pyrénées et les généraux s’aperçurent de l’existence d’une minorité révolutionnaire en Catalogne, puis agirent comme s’ils voulaient annexer le pays. Lorsque le front du Nord devint prioritaire pour le Comité de salut public, on put discerner l’esquisse d’un projet de république-sœur : en juin 1794, une «proclamation à la Catalogne et à l’armée républicaine» s’adapta à cette idée et souhaita que la Catalogne soit «indépendante et heureuse». Thermidor réactiva les projets annexionnistes.

Published: December 2020

This study investigated the potential of Virtual Reality (VR), using 360-degree (360°) videos, as a tool to teach children about water-safety skills. Children (n = 182) aged 10 to 12 years were randomly assigned to learn about water safety using one of three instructional mediums: 360° VR videos, traditional video, or poster. The training was designed to address specific themes that contributed to drowning in coastal environments, allowing children to learn about dangers of rip currents in a relatively safe environment. Overall, 95% showed improved knowledge of water safety after participating in the water-safety workshop and retained their knowledge during the subsequent tests both one and eight weeks later. No difference was found in the learning outcomes obtained across the three mediums; however, participants in the 360° VR medium reported higher levels of interest and enjoyment than participants using the other two mediums (91% of students in the 360° VR video group found the activity engaging versus 61% for traditional video and 51% for the poster). Teacher feedback also indicated that 360° VR videos are a useful, engaging, and effective method of learning. Overall, we found support for the hypothesis that 360° VR videos are a useful tool to teach targeted skills, and that using 360° VR videos is more motivating and engaging than using traditional learning methods. We also found evidence to support the hypothesis that 360° VR videos are an effective tool for self-directed learning.

Optimal Power Allocation Between Beam Tracking and Symbol Detection Channels in a Free-Space Optical Communications Receiver
Authors: Bashir Muhammad Salman , Alouini Mohamed-Slim
Published: December 2020

Free-space optical (FSO) communications will play an important role in the backhaul of future generation of wireless networks in order to support high data rates. Because of narrow beamwidth inherent to an optical signal, acquisition and tracking form an important component of any FSO communication system. In this study, we have analyzed the optimization of received power allocation between tracking and data channels in an FSO receiver. The objective function that is optimized (minimized) are the probability of error and the probability of outage, and the optimization of power allocation is carried out as a function of parameters such as noise power, pointing error variance, pointing error correlation coefficient, and the threshold of outage. We have analyzed the optimization concerning the lognormal and exponentiated Weibull fading scenarios as well. We learn that the optimal power allocation is a function of the received signal-to-noise ratio: a lower signal-to-noise ratio dictates that a higher fraction of received power should be diverted to the tracking channel and vice versa.

Bu çalışmada, farklı modülb değerlerine (1,35; 1,41; 1,45; 1,49; 1,8; 2,0; 2,25; 2,50) sahip sodyum alüminat çözeltilerinin nükleasyon davranışları incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla, çözeltiye verilen farklı aşırı doygunluk değeri (1,321-1,785) ve farklı derişimde (5-20 ppm) lityum (Li) varlığı için bekleme zamanı ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Deneysel çalışmalar sonucu, kritik serbest enerji değişimi, kritik nüklei yarıçapı, kritik nükleide yer alan molekül sayısı ve nükleasyon hızı hesaplanmıştır. Katkısız sodyum alüminat çözeltisi için bekleme zamanının, farklı aşırı doygunluk değerlerine bağlı olarak 100-400 dk. aralığında değiştiği belirlenmiştir. Lityum varlığında ise, en yüksek bekleme zamanı 10 ppm lityum derişimi için 20 dk. olarak tespit edilmiştir. Klasik nükleasyon teorisine göre yapılan hesaplamalar sonucu, lityum varlığında, katkısız ortama kıyasla, kritik nüklei yarıçapının düştüğü, kritik nükleideki molekül sayısının azaldığı ve nükleasyon hızının arttığı belirlenmiştir. 5 ppm lityum katkısı için, katkısız ortama kıyasla, nükleasyon hızındaki artışın yaklaşık 100 kat, 20 ppm lityum katkısı için ise yaklaşık olarak 39 kat olduğu belirlenmiştir. Lityum varlığında, farklı modülb değerlerindeki sodyum alüminat çözeltilerinin bekleme zamanlarının düşük ve yüksek modülb değerine sahip çözeltiler için 6 – 7 dk. aralığında değiştiği tespit edilmiştir. Modülb 1,49 ve 1,8 için ise maksimum 10 dk’lık bekleme süreleri elde edilmiştir.

Patlatma yöntemi, madencilik, tünel açma faaliyetleri, inşaat ve yıkım işlemleri ve enerji sektörü gibi birçok sektörde yoğun olarak kullanılmaktadır. Ancak, bu yöntem hız ve ekonomik yönden çok verimli bir yöntem olmasına rağmen çeşitli çevresel etkilere ve büyük hasarlara neden olabilmektedir. Bu çevreye verilen olumsuz etkilerin en önemlisi zemin titreşimleridir ve oluşan titreşimin şiddetine ve etki alanına göre maddi kayıplara ve hatta can kayıplarına sebep olabilmektedir. Bu sebeple bu muhtemel etkilerin en aza indirilmesi ya da en iyi ihtimalle bertaraf edilmesi için patlatma faaliyetlerinde zemin titreşimlerinin özel olarak irdelenmesi gerekmektedir.
Bu çalışmada patlatmadan kaynaklı zemin titreşimlerinin özellikleri, sınıflandırılması ve temel büyüklükleri sunulmuştur. Ayrıca, yer sarsıntısının yapılar üzerinde oluşturduğu hasarlar, insanlar üzerindeki olumsuz etkiler ve insan algısı ile yapısal hasar arasındaki ilişki detaylı bir şekilde araştırılmıştır.

Los campesinos de la región, que provienen de la sierra, explotan su nuevo hábitat según las tradiciones de sus ancestros formadas en otro entorno. Estos métodos de cultivo se insertan en una cosmovisión encantada del mundo. Los religiosos, para fomentar prácticas respetuosas del medioambiente, luchan contra las creencias nocivas y propician una comprensión racional y científica, por ende, secularizada de la situación. El efecto es, sin embargo, mitigado.  Resulta muy complejo extraer un tema de una cosmovisión global. Además, los campesinos, en situación a menudo de precariedad, han asimilado la lógica y las aspiraciones de la sociedad de consumo. No basta entonces con buenas técnicas; se necesita, como lo afirma el papa Francisco, un equilibrio respetuoso entre seres humanos y entre estos y la naturaleza. Estas reflexiones se enmarcan en el debate internacional sobre la buena gestión de la región amazona y su protección.
¿Rituales de juego de pelota, transculturalidad y género en las Américas prehispánicas?
Authors: Noack Karoline
Published: December 2020

En la perspectiva de la longue durée y en una dimensión americana panregional, este artículo pretende analizar los «juegos de pelota» documentados en los estudios y las fuentes arqueo lógicas y etnohistóricas. Desde Mesoamérica, pasando por la región andina hasta las tierras bajas en Sudamérica, se enfocanen un lente convergente las continuidades y las rupturas sociales unidas en este «juego». De esta manera, se analiza las estructuras físicas, las organizaciones sociorrituales y hasta las materialidades de los «juegos de pelota», ofreciendo una lectura antropológica de las fuentes. De ese modo, se va a determinar que, enfocando las continuidades y rupturas en las diferentes sociedades prehispánicas e históricas hasta el presente desde este ángulo, el «juego» mismo se presenta no solo como tal, sino como encajado en un continuo de deporte, guerra y sacrificio humano. De esa manera, es posible entender mejor las sociedades del pasado, estructuradas también por las relaciones de género, conectándolas con el presente.
Representasi Tokoh Cakraningrat dalam Sajarah Proza Begin Brawijaya
Authors: Novarina Novarina , Buduroh Mamlahatun
Published: December 2020

This paper is the result of a study of the Nusantara manuscripts using the historical text sources of Madura. The object of this research is the transliteration of a manuscript from the collection of the Central Library of Indonesia entitled Sajarah Proza Begin Brawijaya (SPBB) code SJ.230 Novarina edition (2020). In examining the manuscript, the philological method and literary theory framework were used. From the field of literature, Jan van Luxemburg's structural theory, Julia Kristeva's intertextuality, and Teeuw's concept of literary representation are used. From the structural study, it can be seen that the SPBB text framework is composed of literary structures and content structures (history), which as a whole serve to legitimize the power of the 17-18 century Madurese king. Meanwhile, the results of the intertextual analysis showed that the elements built into the content structure (history) of the SPBB text were connected with M.C. Ricklefs and H.J. De Graaf in representing Cakraningrat as the main figure in the history of Java, Madura, and VOC based on the author's life view to raise one of the values of the Javanese philosophy of life in this text. This linkage results in the conclusion that as a traditional Javanese historical literary work, the SPBB text is representative of its creator's culture, one of which is as a representation of the philosophy of mikul dhuwur mendhem jero in the Javanese view of life.
Evaluation of non-point sources of surface water pollution
Authors: Langhammer Jakub
Published: December 2020

The non-point pollution sources represent an increasingly important component of the total pollution balance in the country as a result of a gradual reduction of the pollution load from point sources of surface water pollution. As this pollution component cannot be directly measured, various methods of calculation and modelling are used. The author has developed a new methodology for accurate evaluation of the spatial distribution of the pollution load from a river basin under the form of an empirical grid-based GIS model. The article describes this methodology and its application to the Berounka river basin with the aim to evaluate the spatial distribution of the load of the key pollution parameters.
Enacting Bodies of Knowledge
Authors: Keane Jondi , Dennis Rea , Kelly Meghan
Published: December 2020

This article discusses a range of issues that arise when bringing together researcher-practitioners around the intersection of art and science, body and environment. Although prompted by the issues played out at the second international Body of Knowledge: Art and Embodied Cognition Conference, the article addresses over-arching concerns around transfer of knowledge that are played out at conferences, through exhibitions and performance, and in publications.
The researchers of embodied cognition and arts practitioners/performers share a fascination with the way cognitive ecologies emerge to reveal the modes of thinking, feeling, moving and making that enact features of our shared environment. While theorists explore how enactive theories of cognition observe and track these dynamic changes, practitioners tend to reflect upon the changes their practice initiates. The intersections of diverse research approaches amongst such common ground highlight the need for space and air to allow tensions, blind spots, opportunities and potentials for knowledge production to become perceptible; to spark productive conversations.
This article considers the conference as an instance of enactive research in which communities of practice gather in an attempt to change encounter into exchange. In this case, the organisational structure of the conference becomes a crucial design decision that enacts an event-space. Consequently, if the event-space is itself a research experiment, then conferral, diversity, inclusion and cultural practices become crucial qualities of movement to observe, track and reflect upon. The activities within and beyond the conference indicate the extent to which creative research platforms alongside embodied enactive research projects must collaborate to draw out the resonances between diverse modes of acquiring knowledge and co-constructing the environment.
Unknowingly, A threshold-crossing movement
Authors: Preston Julieanna
Published: December 2020

It is in this special issue that the editorial board holds true to our promise to expand the horizons and readership of idea journal while reaching out to associated and adjacent art, design and performance practices and drawing connections to seemingly distant disciplines. The articles in this issue have provenance in a 2019 conference event, Bodies of Knowledge (BOK), which was guided by a similar interdisciplinary ethos. With an emphasis on cultures of practice and communities of practitioners that offer perspectives on inclusion, diversity/neurodiversity and disability, this conference, and this subsequent journal issue, aim to increase knowledge transfer between diverse forms of embodied expertise, in particular, between neuroscience and enactive theories of cognition.
Contributions of Partnerships to Conservation and Development: Insights from Amboseli
Authors: Mugo Tabitha , Visseren-Hamakers Ingrid , van der Duim Renevan
Published: December 2020

For several decades, both academics and practitioners have fiercely debated how to reconcile conservation and development objectives. In Sub-Saharan Africa, efforts to align biodiversity conservation and livelihood goals have triggered a shift from pure protected area approaches to
a hybrid scenario, including diverse partnership arrangements, that consider livelihood needs of communities neighboring protected areas. These partnerships often include tourism to provide income and jobs. The future of the Amboseli landscape in Kenya has been an integral part of these debates,
since it has faced long-lasting conservation and development challenges. Many initiatives, often in the form of partnership arrangements, have tried to address these challenges. By using the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF) and a set of indicators to measure the contributions to conservation,
we examine two of these partnerships—the Amboseli Ecosystem Trust (AET) and Big Life Foundation (BLF)—with the aim of understanding the extent to which they contribute to addressing these challenges. Data were collected using document analysis, in-depth interviews, focus group
discussions, nonparticipant observation, and informal conversations. Findings show that both AET and BLF have been able to address direct drivers of biodiversity loss (such as human wildlife conflicts, poaching, unplanned infrastructural developments) and—to a much lesser extent—the
indirect drivers, such as poverty and land subdivision. Through the workings of both partnerships, more community members have gained access to specific community capital assets, through employment opportunities and other monetary incentives and education. However, it is not clear if and how
the livelihood benefits transfer to real and long-term support for wildlife conservation.

Published: December 2020

Background: Not all Covid-19 infections in children are mild and show a good prognosis, so it is very important to define them as a vulnerable population. Information related to the treatment of Covid-19 infection in children is still very limited, so the authors are interested in conducting a systematic review to discuss and provide information related to various types of drugs and treatment of Covid-19 infection in children. Methods: A systematic database search was carried out in July 2020 through the PUBMED and Google Scholar databases. Keywords used include: "children and COVID-19" and "COVID-19 in children and treatment" and "Covid-19 in children and management". Results: The results of the collection of articles were 7 articles that showed various alternative therapies for Covid-19 in children, including  traditional Chinese medicine,  providing antivirus, giving RNA inhibitors,  giving supportive therapy in the form of oxygen. The principle of treatment or treatment in children must follow the symptoms caused by minimizing the administration of antiviral drugs. Conclusion:  Supportive therapy is still an option, in the country of origin of the SARS-CoV2 virus, namely Cina, the principles of traditional medicine are widely used in children compared to medical treatment in the form of providing antivirals, because previous studies did not show high effectiveness of antivirals in children.
MORTE FETAL POR USO DE CONTRACEPTIVO EM FELINOS: RELATO DE CASO
Authors: Campos Ana Elisa Marangoni , Borges Gabriela Augusta de Andrade Barbosa , Dos Santos Romeu Moreira
Published: December 2020

O elevado número de cães e gatos em todo o Brasil resulta em superpopulação de animais errantes em áreas urbanas, apresentando risco à saúde pública, animal e ao meio ambiente. O uso de métodos contraceptivos seja eles medicamentosos ou cirúrgicos são indicados como controle para diminuir número de animais de rua. A utilização de progestágenos na medicina veterinária vêm crescendo indiscriminadamente nos últimos anos para controle do ciclo estral tanto de cadelas quanto de gatas visando a diminuição do nascimento de filhotes. Entretanto, essas preparações farmacológicas causam efeitos indesejáveis a fisiologia das fêmeas podendo provocar doenças locais ou sistêmicas graves que podem levar o animal a óbito. Devido seu baixo custo, fácil distribuição e poucas exigências para sua comercialização, os progestágenos são substâncias facilmente encontradas em casas de rações, petshops e clínicas veterinárias sendo acessível a qualquer pessoa, sendo a classe de contraceptivos mais utilizada nos animais principalmente por tutores que aplicam de maneira contínua e sem base clínica veterinária levando a sérias complicações patológicas reprodutivas. Baseado nisto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar um caso clínico sobre distocia e morte fetal com alterações enfisematosas de filhotes sugestivo de uso indiscriminado de medicamento contraceptivo em uma gata sem raça definida.
