Authors: Lakshmipriya I S  , Yoganand Raksha , Rudresh Shoorashetty Manohar
Published: October 2023

One of the most encountered infections by the physician in the community is Urinary tract infections, and over the years most of the pathogens responsible for the etiology have become resistant to antimicrobials. In nosocomial infections and immunocompromised individuals the most common pathogen implicated in UTI and catheter associated UTI are . are notorious for their antibiotic resistance and also cause systemic dissemination.

A cross-sectional study that included 184 species isolated from urine samples collected from January 2020 – June 2021. Identification of isolates and speciation was done by biochemical reactions, antibiotic susceptibility pattern determined by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method, virulence factors and antibiotic resistance mechanisms were detected by standard phenotypic methods.

Among the patient’s female: male ratio was 1.7:1 and maximum number of cases were seen in the 21-30 age group.

Maximum number of isolates belonged to (79.89%), followed by (20%). species showed maximum sensitivity to Imipenem, Meropenem, gentamicin, and amikacin. Out of the 184 isolates 22.86% were ESBL producers, 17.93% were AMP C producers and 9.24% were Carbapenamase producers. Among all isolates 94.56% were found to be biofilm producers, and all biofilm poducers were strongly associated with ESBL and Amp C production. Also 61.41% of total isolates were Siderophore producers.

UTI is a predominant infection among younger age group females. High level of resistance to commonly used antibiotics were found, also the rising rate of antibiotic resistance mechanisms require further studies into the matter for ensuring better treatment success. Empirically amikacin and gentamicin could be used for treatment of UTI as they were found to be highly sensitive.

Published: October 2023

Dermatophytosis is the most common type of cutaneous fungal infection seen in man infecting the superficial keratinized layer of the skin, hair and nails. The aim of the study is to isolate and identify the dermatophytes from clinically suspected cases of dermatophytosis, to determine the frequency of occurrence of various species of dermatophytes, to know the prevalence of age and sex of dermatophytosis in the locality.

: The present study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, Medical College and SSG Hospital, Vadodara. A total of 150 clinically diagnosed cases of dermatophytosis were taken for this study. Skin, hair and nail samples were aseptically collected and were subjected to KOH mount examination and culture. Differentiation of the dermatophyte species was performed based on the macroscopic and microscopic examination of culture and physiological test including urease test.

: Tinea corporis (41.3%) was the commonest clinical type with a male to female ratio of 1.05:1. Out of these samples, dermatophytes were isolated in 108 cases with the overall isolation rate of 72%. Seven species of dermatophytes were isolated. 53 (49.1%) was the commonest species followed by 22(20.4%).

: Identifying dermatophyte species and knowledge of their host preference and ecology play an important role in treating the patient. Correct and efficient laboratory methods for diagnosis of dermatophytosis is the need of the hour to provide correct and timely treatment and prevent the further spread and chronicity of the disease.

Влияние Православной Церкви на развитие гражданского общества в СанктПетербурге
Authors: Незнанова В.С.
Published: October 2023

Предмет данной статьи –процесс влияния Православной Церкви на развитие гражданского общества в Санкт-Петербурге. Цель работы раскрыть роль Православной Церкви в структуре российского гражданского общества, проанализировав эволюцию гражданского общества в России и уяснив особенности процесса взаимодействия государственной власти и гражданского общества, показать, что объединяет Православную Церковь и гражданское общество в Санкт-Петербурге. Работа опирается на «Основы социальной концепции Русской Православной Церкви», данные общественной палаты Российской Федерации, общественной палаты Санкт-Петербурга, «Центра развития некоммерческих организаций» и т.д. При проведении исследования применялись следующие методы: историко-философского анализа, сравнительного анализа, междисциплинарный подход. Научная новизна заключается в том, что раскрыта роль Православной Церкви в структуре российского гражданского общества, проанализирована эволюция гражданского общества в России и уяснены особенности процесса взаимодействия государственной власти и гражданского общества, показано, что объединяет Православную Церковь и гражданское общество в России. Основным выводом проведенного исследования является то, что роль Правoславной Церкви как института гражданского oбщества в политических отнoшений oпределяетcя cледующими фaкторaми: 1) в гражданскoм обществе, являющимся oбщественно-политическим разумом нации, церковь, как хранитель высших – религиозных ценностей общества, выступaет его «сoвестью»; 2) Православная Церковь есть институт грaжданского общества, призванный стоять на страже общественнoго интереса. В политическом пространстве статус церкви определяется через ограничения, которые налагаются ею, посредством вoздействия на общественное мнение, на те силы в обществе, котoрые хотят использовать власть в узкокорпоративных целях, несовместимых с интересами общества; 3) Православная Церковь, как oрганизация, оказывaющая в своей приходской службе духoвные услуги конкретным людям и являющаяся опoрой консервативной идеолoгии, выполняет роль связующего звена между частными и общими интересaми, служит институтом гражданскогo общества, обеспечивающим социaльную интеграцию; 4) Православная Церковь является хранительницей не тoлько личной веры, но и коллективной идентичности. Религиозное большинствo склонно рассматривать свою веру как общественную "этику", в то время как религиозные меньшинства рассматривают свою веру как этническую принaдлежность.
The effect of induced hypertension in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: A narrative review
Authors: Azari Jafari Amirhossein , Mirmoeeni Seyyedmohammadsadeq , Johnson William Chase , Shah Muffaqam , Hassani Maryam Sadat , Nazari Shahrzad , Fielder Tristan , Seifi Ali
Published: October 2023

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage ‎(aSAH) ‎accounts for 2-5% of all strokes, and 10%‐15% of ‎aSAH patients will not survive until hospital admission. Induced hypertension (IH) is an emerging therapeutic option being used for the treatment of vasospasm in ‎aSAH. For patients with cerebral vasospasm (CVS) consequent to SAH, IH is implemented to increase systolic blood pressure (SBP) in order to optimize cerebral blood flow (CBF) and prevent delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Prophylactic use of IH has been associated with the development of vasospasm and cerebral ischemia in SAH patients. Various trials have defined several different parameters to help clinicians decide when to initiate IH in a SAH patient. However, there is insufficient evidence to recommend therapeutic IH in aSAH due to the possible serious complications like myocardial ischemia, development of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), pulmonary edema, and even rupture of another unsecured aneurysm. This narrative review showed the favorable impact of IH therapy on aSAH patients; however, it is crucial to conduct further clinical and molecular experiments to shed more light on the effects of IH in aSAH.

Authors: Arab-Zozani Morteza , Ghoddoosi-Nejad Javad , Da Silva Martins Carlos Manuel
Published: October 2023

Overuse of healthcare services is an increasingly reported issue in health systems worldwide. Given the breadth and importance of the subject, identifying strategies/tools that can prevent medical overuse is beneficial. The authors of this article believe that strategic purchasing, because of its high capabilities, is one of the tools that can help avoid medical overuse. Also, strategic purchasing and capable government stewardship can lead to the optimal use of resources and the promotion of the right services. In general, and by expressing some strategic purchasing features that contrast with the drivers of overuse, it can be concluded that strategic purchasing can be used as a synergistic tool, along with other tools, to prevent and even reduce the overuse of healthcare services. In addition, strategic purchasing and capable government stewardship can lead to the optimal use of resources and the promotion of the right services.
The Effect of Foreign Direct Investment on Improving the Life Expectancy Index in Iran
Authors: Aalipour Afshin , Hassanvand Dariush , Zahid Gharavi Mehdi , Behzadifar Masoud
Published: October 2023

Background: The health care sector is a key sector of every country. In the process of economic development, this sector is considered infrastructure since economic development directly affects the productivity of the labor force and, as a result, the increase in production and economic growth. Therefore, the quality of the health care system may be an important factor in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), accompanied by infrastructure such as labor, education, and research and development costs. As the level of health care increases in a society, the average life expectancy increases as well. Therefore, the life expectancy index (LEI) is an indicator for measuring the progress or backwardness of countries, and thus, it is necessary to examine the factors affecting it.
Objectives: This study examined the effect of FDI on the LEI in Iran. Methods: The autoregressive distributed lags (ARDL) method was applied from 1981 to 2020, given the time series nature of the data and to test the research hypotheses. The method shows a capacity to be applied to I(0) and I(1) data simultaneously. the following regression model estimation was utilized to investigate the effect of FDI on LEI in Iran: HIt = c0 + c1 gross domestic product (GDP)t + c2 FDIt + c3 literacy rate (LR)t + c4 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)t + c5 Urbent + c6 real exchange rate (EXR)t + c7 inflation rate (INF)t + c8 interest rate (IR)t + et.
Results: The outcomes indicated that FDI has favorable and substantial impacts on the health expenditure variable in Iran over short and extended periods. As a result, it can be anticipated that investing in the health care industry should influence society’s economic advancement. Consequently, FDI becomes a significant macroeconomic factor in health care, acting as an extra investment source. With proper strategies, it holds the potential to serve as a crucial tool for the country’s progress, especially in enhancing the health care sector. The results demonstrated that FDI has constructive and notable effects on enhancing the LEI in Iran, both in the immediate and prolonged durations.
Conclusions: Generally, the effects of FDI on health care can be described by direct and indirect channels. From the direct channel, FDI may affect health care outputs directly and indirectly, e.g., by providing a wider range of medical supplies and services (such as drugs and medical equipment), the expansion of FDI in the health care sector, and the presence of foreign firms producing medical or health care products that makes the supplies and services available at lower prices and consequently improves health care. From the indirect channel, FDI may influence the health care status of individuals in society indirectly by affecting other variables. Overall, based on the findings, life expectancy is likely to be improved in Iran by attracting more foreign investments in the health care sector.

Published: October 2023

Background: Hypothyroidism is one of the disorders that is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. One of the first responses to thyroid hormone administration is to reduce systemic vascular resistance and increase cardiac output and heart contraction.
Methods: In this study, which was performed as a quasi-experimental study (before and after), 50 patients were referred to the endocrinology and internal medicine clinic of Towhid Hospital in Sanandaj (in two groups of 25 patients receiving medication and the group that did not receive medication) They were included in the study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Blood pressure, heart rate, and ECG were performed by a cardiologist after recording them.
Results: The mean age of patients participating in the study was 48.0 ± 7.74 years. Compared the patients receiving the drug and the other group, in terms of sex distribution and age, showed results; There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p value > 0.05) However, in terms of comparing blood pressure and heart rate indices in the before and after stages, the two groups showed a statistically significant difference between patients receiving medication and patients who did not receive medication in terms of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the previous phase of hormone therapy (p value < 0.01).
Conclusion: Special attention to hypothyroid patients according to the obtained results, Control, follow-up, and planning for these patients, by those involved in the matter and those responsible for the health sector, seems important and necessary and should be taken into consideration.
The permanent temperature monitoring for flow rate quantification in production and injection wells
Authors: Kremenetskiy Mikhail I. , Krichevsky Vladimir M. , Solovieva Viktoria V. , Nikonorova Anastasia N.
Published: October 2023

A technique for monitoring of a production well rate dynamics based on the results of long-term temperature measurements in the wellbore at a certain depth which is significantly higher than the productive formation in real time is presented. The proposed analytical approaches for the well rate evaluation are based on the classical temperature behavior in the intervals of liquid and gas movement along the wellbore at a relatively far from the target formations. The temperature gradient in such intervals practically does not change with time and is close to geothermal, regardless of whether the inflow or injection is stable over time, or the well is in an unstable and cyclic production. It makes possible to find a relationship between the temperature change and heat flux density on the wellbore with simple and clear analytical approach, and to associate the heat flux density dynamics with the flow rate of the fluid moving along the wellbore. The main novelty of the presented publication is the justification of temperature deconvolution application for well rate changes vs time evaluation on a substantially non-stationary well production or injection conditions. The presented approach of permanent temperature monitoring interpretation is applicable not only for cases of step well rate changes, but also for cases of gradual well rate changes vs time. A wide range of measuring sensors can be used for presented approach implementation, including permanent fiber-based distributed along the length of the wellbore systems.
Origin of Ti-Fe-oxide mineralization of post-island-arc gabbroid complexes in the northern part of the West Magnitogorsk zone (Southern Urals)
Authors: Rakhimov Ildar R. , Vishnevskiy Andrey V.
Published: October 2023

Detailed mineralogical and geochemical studies of Ti-Fe oxides from gabbroids of the Nauruz and Utlyktash post-subductional complexes, West Magnitogorsk Zone, South Urals, have been carried out. The polygenic nature of Ti-Fe mineralization in Nauruz sill, Utlyktash layered lopolith and Uraz intrusion rocks has been established. The Nauruz massif is dominated by titanomagnetite, which crystallized both from the Ti-Fe-oxide liquid at the early magmatic stage and from the residual Ti-Fe-enriched silicate melt at the intermediate and late magmatic stages (~970–800°C). The most rich in Ti-Fe oxides (Fe2O3* up to 20.1 wt %, TiO2 up to 1.6 wt %, and V up to 430 ppm) is the middle zone of the sill associated with intrusion of magma enriched in orthopyroxene phenocrysts. Both titanomagnetite and ilmenite are widespread in the Utlyktash lopolith, forming the richest accumulations in the lower part of the massif (Fe2O3* up to 18.1 wt %, TiO2 up to 2.9 wt %, and V up to 545 g/t) due to gravitational settling of crystallizing phases. The gabbroids of the Uraz intrusion are similar in mineral and chemical composition, but differ from the Utlyktash lopolith in the patterns of formation of Ti-Fe mineralization, which requires a special study. In general, the geological settings for the formation of the Nauruz sill and Utlyktash lopolith are quite favorable for the formation of economic Fe-Ti ores.
Accessory mineralisations in lherzolites of Northern Kraka massif (South Urals)
Authors: Saveliev Dmitry E. , Gataullin Ruslan A.
Published: October 2023

The findings of platinum group metal mineralization (PGM) and the distribution of platinum group elements (PGE) in lherzolites of the Northern Kraka massif are described. The total contents of PGE are approximately two orders of magnitude lower than those in chondrite and are close to pyrolite, relative to which the studied lherzolites are enriched in Pd and depleted in Ru. In segregations of PGMs, the presence of all PGEs (except rhodium) in various proportions was established. All found grains are divided into three contrasting types: the refractory triad Os–Ir–Ru, essentially platinum with the participation of Pd, and Cu–Pd. Almost all found PGM grains are localized either in the peripheral parts of grains of altered sulfides (heazlewoodite, pentlandite) or in the silicate matrix in the immediate vicinity of sulfide segregations. Based on the mineral associations and PGE distribution, a probable genesis of segregations has been suggested. Associations of Cu–Pd and Pd–Pt(+Cu) composition most likely formed during the crystallization of sulfides from the extracted partial melts. This is indicated by their close association with clinopyroxenes and the presence of relatively fusible platinoids and copper. The associations of Pt–Ir and Os–Ir–Ru(+Pt) composition are most likely restitic, formed in place of primary mantle sulfides as a result of extraction of more fusible elements and further desulphurization. The isolation of platinoids as their own mineral phases is associated with the influence of superimposed low-temperature processes – subsolidus redistribution during cooling and subsequent serpentinization.
Prospects for the development of hydrogen energy in the Russian Federation
Authors: Razmanova Svetlana V.
Published: October 2023

Currently, in the energy strategies presented by Japan, the Republic of South Korea, the Russian Federation and the countries of the European Union, hydrogen is considered as a promising energy carrier that should replace fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) and be used for accumulation, storage and delivery of energy to different regions of the world. The improvement of hydrogen energy technologies plays a special role in the low-carbon development of the world economy. The main advantages of hydrogen are the possibility of obtaining it from various sources and the absence of carbon dioxide emissions when it is used as an energy carrier, which is especially important against the backdrop of the current climate agenda. In the meantime, this energy carrier is artificially created, since there are no deposits of free hydrogen in nature. Therefore, hydrogen should be perceived precisely as a “carrier” of energy, and not as a fuel. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the feasibility of building tidal power plants, the development of hydrogen technologies and industrial complexes in the Russian Federation.

Raúl Ferrero pueda cumplir su vida útil en el año 2027.
Prevalencia de Shigella spp. y factores asociados en niños de edad escolar en una comunidad rural y urbana de Cajamarca
Authors:   , Rodriguez Alfaro Ronald Dennis , Rosa Mori Yimi Arnaldo
Published: October 2023

Shigella spp. es un bacilo gram negativo de la familia de las enterobacterias, el cual se transmite entre humanos por vía fecal-oral por un insuficiente saneamiento e higiene, pobreza y alimentos contaminados. Se calcula que la Shigella spp. produce alrededor de 164 millones de infectados, de los cuales 163 millones ocurrirían en países subdesarrollados. En los Estados Unidos la incidencia de shigelosis fue de 3.8 casos por 100,000 habitantes y afecta predominantemente a niños. Entre los síntomas clínicos varían desde una infección asintomática o gastroenteritis hasta una disentería severa. El objetivo del presente estudio es evaluar la prevalencia de Shigella spp. y determinar los factores asociados en niños de edad escolar de una comunidad urbana y rural del departamento de Cajamarca en Perú. La investigación es transversal, descriptivo con muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. El estudio se realizó en niños de 4 a 14 años que acudían al colegio Andrés Avelino Cáceres (Baños del Inca) y al colegio San José de Las Vizcachas (San Pablo). Para la detección de Shigella spp. se usó la reacción de cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) a tiempo real. La prevalencia de Shigella spp. en la comunidad rural es de 9.1% y en la comunidad urbana es de 3.6%. El factor asociado que se encontró en San Pablo fue el consumo de ensaladas (p=0.24) y en Baños del Inca, fue el lavado de manos antes de comer (p=0.008). Este estudio encontró una mayor prevalencia de Shigella spp. en una comunidad rural, por lo que sugerimos implementar intervenciones para prevenir la infección de esta bacteria y otros parásitos.
Propuesta del uso de sistema modular para la construcción masiva de viviendas prefabricadas económicas en el distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima
Authors:   , Quevedo Avila Tasha Kassandra , Vela Vela Marcelo Aurelio
Published: October 2023

Frente a una elevada escasez de viviendas que experimenta actualmente el distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho, la presente investigación propone la implementación de un sistema modular de concreto armado para la construcción de viviendas, tomando como referencia los aspectos sociales, económicos y el tiempo de ejecución en su proceso constructivo. Debido a que, en el Perú, el presente sistema modular no ha sido implementado y, por ende, se desconoce el proceso constructivo a realizar, se optó por el uso de herramientas de modelado BIM, donde se realizará la simulación del procedimiento a efectuar, para posteriormente realizar una guía de construcción, que logre mostrar los materiales a emplear, tiempos, costos y los pasos de ejecución del sistema modular propuesto. Asimismo, se brindará un análisis comparativo entre la propuesta y cinco proyectos de vivienda social realizados mediante el sistema convencional, tomando como parámetros el tiempo, costo y presencia de acabados.
Evaluación de la influencia de la excentricidad de resistencia en el comportamiento sísmico torsional de una edificación de concreto armado de muros estructurales de 6 pisos en la ciudad de Lima utilizando un análisis no lineal
Authors:   , Calderon Astorga Mariana Yadira , Rocha Petit Paul
Published: October 2023

La presente tesis se enfoca en el análisis y evaluación de la excentricidad de resistencia, específicamente en una edificación de una configuración estructural de muros. Esto con el fin de estudiar el comportamiento sísmico de una edificación ubicada en la ciudad de Lima. En la actualidad, para estudiar la torsión, se utiliza el parámetro de excentricidad estructural, si bien este es preciso para el rango lineal, para el rango no lineal pierde precisión. Es por esto que en este estudio se plantea estudiar el parámetro de excentricidad de resistencia, el cual está más asociado al rango no lineal. El análisis y recopilación de la información fue en base a información bibliográfica sobre los distintos tipos de excentricidades y análisis no lineal que se desarrollara para los modelos. Además, se procesará la información del expediente técnico de la vivienda multifamiliar para la elaboración de los modelos en el software. En total fueron 3 modelos los trabajados, variando su excentricidad de resistencia para la obtención de distintos resultados. Los resultados obtenidos a través del análisis dinámico no lineal muestran que existe una disminución en las derivas, torque, ratio de torsión y rotación última de los elementos estructurales cuando la excentricidad es menor o, en otras palabras, cuando el centro de resistencia se encuentra más cerca al centro de masa.

Method: This study applied cross-sectional approach with correlation descriptive design. Population in this study was older adults living in a nursing home. A total of 51 participant recruited through a random simple sampling was involved. The independent variable was stress and dependent was insomnia. A self-report questionnaire was used to collect data from the study participants. Data was statistically test by Contingency Coefficient.
Results: There is no relationship between stress and the incidence of insomnia in the elderly (p=0.267). Insomnia might relate to others factors that not explored in the study.
Conclusions: The current study highlights insomnia among elderly  is not related to stress events. Even insomnia was a common, nurses need to identify other factors that can contribute to insomnia experienced by the elderly. Thus, further study examines insomnia among elderly is warranty.

Introduction: Asthmatics, especially uncontrolled asthmatics, must be vigilant during the COVID-19 pandemic to avoid major respiratory complications. This study aimed to describe these characteristics in emergency unit patients with asthma and COVID-19 at Haji General Hospital, Surabaya, an East Java referral hospital.
Methods: The study gathered medical information on 160 asthma patients from March to December 2021. The collected data were related to socioeconomics, allergy history, family allergy history, and medications.
Results: 160 confirmed cases of asthma occurred during COVID-19 at Haji General Hospital, Surabaya. Most adult asthma sufferers were women (59.2%), high school graduates (31.25%), housewives (21.2%), had payment method with Social Health Insurance Administration Body (BPJS) insurance (73.8 %), had a history of drug allergies (11.5%), had no family history of allergies (50.8%), and used albuterol control drugs (10.7%). Meanwhile, the majority of children with asthma were boys (53.3%), did not attend school or did not finish elementary school (33.3%), did not work (33.3%), had payment method with BPJS (73.3%), had a history of allergies to seafood and cow's milk respectively (10%), had no family history of allergies (40%), and used albuterol control drugs (16.7%).
Conclusion: The proportion of asthma in the emergency unit was dominated by women over 18 years old with a high school education. Most patients were housewives and used BPJS. Many of them had a history of allergies to medications (not asthma medication), and there was no family history of allergies. Commonly used medications were albuterol to control asthma.
The Meaning of Verses on Parents-Children Relationship as Basis for Sandwich Generation Concept in Islam
Authors: Kusumaningrum Fitri Ayu
Published: October 2023

This article explores the interpretation of Quranic verses and Islamic teachings relevant to the modern concept of the sandwich generation, a demographic group simultaneously responsible for caring for aging parents and raising their own children. In the Indonesian context, where family ties and caregiving hold immense significance, understanding the intersection of Islamic principles with challenges faced by the sandwich generation is paramount. This article delves into the perspective of Indonesian scholars who analyze Quranic verses to provide insights into how Islamic teachings align with the responsibilities of the sandwich generation. Scholars’ interpretations highlight the importance of honoring parents, as commanded in the Quran, while nurturing children. They emphasize the concept of birr al-walidayn (kindness to parents), shedding light on the moral duty of children to care for aging parents, and fostering a balanced approach. Furthermore, the article discusses how Indonesian scholars emphasize the significance of self-care and seek support from the family and community. This aligns with Islamic values of moderation and collective responsibility. Scholars’ viewpoints underscore the rewards of patience and perseverance, assuring the sandwich generation that their efforts are acts of worship and have spiritual significance. Ultimately, this article provides a nuanced understanding of the sandwich generation phenomenon within the Indonesian Islamic context. It contributes to the broader discourse on family dynamics, caregiving, and the harmonization of modern challenges with timeless Islamic principles.

Background
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) remains endemic in most African countries despite several interventions that have been instituted for its control. This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to elucidate the epidemiology of FMD and evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions for its control in Africa.
Methods
We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to generate evidence on the epidemiology and effectiveness of interventions for the control of foot and mouth disease in Africa. 113 articles were included in the review.
Results
The overall pooled seroprevalence of FMD in Africa was 16% at 95% CI (4% − 30%). The subgroup analysis showed the following pooled seroprevalence at region: Central Africa at 38%, 95% CI (33% − 43%); Northern Africa at 31%, 95% CI (8% − 57%); Western Africa at 30%, 95% CI (11% − 50%); Eastern Africa at 22% 95% CI (9% − 37%); and Southern Africa at 2%, 95% CI (0% − 9%). Species level: buffaloes at 71%, 95% CI (8% − 100%); goats at 30%, 95% CI (4% − 61%); sheep at 23%, 95% CI (8% − 40%); cattle at 15%, 95%CI (2% − 31%); pigs at 9%, 95% CI (0% − 26%); and other wildlife at 2% (0% − 36%). Diagnostic level: ELISA at 15%, 95% CI (4% − 29%); several tests at 16%, 95% CI (0% − 44%); BTVIA at 29%, 95% CI (14% − 24%); and PCR at 44%, 95% CI (6% − 84%). LFK index of 4.83 indicated publication bias and a high level of heterogeneity. Quarantine and vaccination are the most used control interventions for FMD.
Conclusions
FMD is prevalent in most Africa in buffaloes and goats, it is mostly diagnosed by ELISA. The disease is mostly controlled by vaccination and quarantine. This review was limited by inadequate data on the effectiveness of interventions. The findings will guide the control of the disease and the use of the PCPFMD. Further research is recommended on the effectiveness of interventions for control.

Background: Little is known on how the substitutions of time from sedentary behavior patterns to physical activity (PA) impacts cardiovascular risk factors during adolescence. In this sense, the study aimed to investigated the associations between substitutions of sedentary behavior (SB) and SB patterns to different PA intensities and changes in cardiovascular risk factors during adolescence in analyses stratified by sex.
Methods: Prospective cohort study whit mean follow-up period of 3.2 (± 0.34) years, involving Brazilian adolescents. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) were the cardiovascular risk factors considered. SB patterns, light physical activity (LPA) and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were measured by accelerometers. Multivariate linear regression models adopting the isotemporal substitution were used to analyze the association between substitution of 30 min.day-1 of SB patterns to LPA and MVPA and risk factors. All analyses considered 5% significance levels.
Results: Substitutions of sedentary time, short and long bouts to MVPA were associated with higher CRF in boys (β = 0.228, 95%CI = 0.040-0.416, β = 0.213, 95%CI = 0.019-0.406 and β = 0.287, 95%CI = 0.077-0.497, respectively). No associations were observed when analyses involved substitution of SB patterns to LPA, adiposity and girls.
Conclusion: Substituting SB patterns to MVPA appears to favorably influence changes of CRF in boys during adolescence. Greater benefits appear to occur when longer sedentary bouts are substituted by MVPA.

Published: October 2023

The lightweight construction of automotive car bodies is more and more important to reduce the fuel consumption and costs. It can be reached by use of high strength steels and aluminium alloy base materials. Recent car bodies contain both steel and aluminium alloys, therefore necessary to make reliable joints between them. Several joining methods were investigated like mechanical joining and welding. These joints typically were tested by quasi-static testing methods, rarely high cycle fatigue (HCF) test results can be found. The HCF loading basically determines the lifetime of these joints, so important to know the joint behaviour in this case. The resistance spot welding (RSW) is typically used for joining of car bodies and it is applicable for aluminium/steel hybrid joints too. During the welding very brittle intermetallic compound (IMC) formed which basically determines the joint properties, especially the IMC thickness and phases are influential. In this investigation 5754-H22 / DP600 and 6082-T6 / DP600 joints were made by RSW and HCF tests were performed. In case of HCF useful to compare the results of aluminium/aluminium and steel/steel joints too. Therefore, 5754-H22 / 5754-H22, 6082-T6 / 6082-T6 and DP600 / DP600 RSW joints were made and tested too. The joints were made by optimized RSW joining technologies and showed different behaviour during HCF loading. The failure modes showed differences, the shearing is occurred with a combination of base material fracture and plug failure mode also happens. After HCF tests the IMC thicknesses were measured in case of typical failure modes and show differences too. The resistance against HCF of hybrid joints are better than aluminium/aluminium joints and showed worse results compared with steel/steel joints.
Examining the Impact of Passion for Music and Mentorship Quality on Students’ Career-Related Psychological Outcomes: The Mediating Roles of Self-Perception of Emotions and Competence
Authors: Wang Chunjie , Chen Jian , Zhang Dongsheng
Published: October 2023

Background_ The self-determination theory (SDT) and the social cognitive theory (SCT) have implications for an extensive array of individuals’ attitudes and behaviors across disciplines. Despite their widespread insinuations, their application in music students’ career choices has received limited attention. The purpose of this study is to investigate the intermediary roles of self-perception of emotions (SPE) and self-perception of competence (SPC), with an emphasis on the SDT and SCT, to predict the impact of passion for music on students’ career-related psychological outcomes (CRPO), while also assessing the intervening role of mentorship quality (MQ).Method_ The authors collected data from undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in music programs at the Chinese university. The authors further employed a lagged research design to gauge the proposed relationships using multivariate analytical techniques (PLS-SEM) (N= 351).Results_ Our findings suggest that both forms of self-concepts significantly mediate the links between passion and CRPO. Albeit, the results reveal a strong positive correlation between harmonious passion and SPE than SPC; and a strong positive correlation between obsessive passion and SPC than SPE. In addition, the findings supported the moderating role of MQ in reinforcing these connections.Conclusion_ Several theoretical and policy implications are discussed in the study.
