Modele przestrzeni miejskiej złożonych układów osadniczych – na przykładzie konurbacji katowickiej
Authors: Runge Anna , Runge Jerzy
Published: June 2020

Przedmiot niniejszych rozważań stanowią procesy zachodzące w złożonym układzie osadniczym konurbacji katowickiej oraz w przestrzeni wewnątrzmiejskiej jej wybranych ośrodków. Celem opracowania jest wykazanie konsekwencji wybranych procesów dla kształtowania się relacji w strukturze przestrzennej miasta pomiędzy jej wymiarem funkcjonalnym, morfologicznym a demograficzno- -społecznym w kontekście zachowania względnej równowagi bądź pojawiania się dysharmonii. Jednocześnie podjęto próbę opracowania modelowego ujęcia przestrzeni złożonego układu osadniczego – zarówno względnie zrównoważonej strukturalnie, jak i strukturalnie zróżnicowanej. W pierwszej części opracowania analizie poddano przeobrażenia przestrzeni wewnątrzmiejskiej dokonujące się pod wpływem zarówno historycznych przemian, jak i procesów zainicjowanych wraz z transformacją ustrojowo-gospodarczą po 1989 roku: likwidacji i restrukturyzacji obiektów przemysłowych, pojawiania się nowych działalności gospodarczych i ich preferencji lokalizacyjnych, różnicowania się zmian w obszarach śródmiejskich, ujawniania się przestrzeni podzielonych i  niechcianych, kreowania ośrodków wiodących w przemianach oraz występowania zjawiska suburbanizacji. Wykazano przy tym różnice w przebiegu tych procesów ujawniające się w  dośrodkowym formowaniu się układu osadniczego konurbacji katowickiej, bipolarności wiodących ośrodków dominujących nad sąsiadami, pustoszeniu obszarów centralnych miast i dużym znaczeniu suburbanizacji wewnętrznej. W drugiej części artykułu zaproponowano model kształtowania się przestrzeni wewnątrzmiejskiej ośrodków złożonego układu w warunkach wieloaspektowych zmian wywołanych przez te procesy. W modelu względnej równowagi przestrzeni miejskiej chodzi o  zachowanie względnie zharmonizowanego układu relacji w strukturze przestrzennej miasta w ujęciu funkcjonalnym, morfologicznym i demograficzno- -społecznym. Opracowano także model względnie zrównoważonej strukturalnie przestrzeni całego układu konurbacyjnego oraz model względnie zróżnicowanej strukturalnie przestrzeni tego układu.
Hierarchia i relacje miast w województwie lubuskim
Authors: Szczuciński Przemysław
Published: June 2020

In socio-economic geography any regional settlement system makes one of its majorfactors of development. It is towns that play a specific role in this system, the meaning of which canbe approached from different perspectives. This paper focuses on the hierarchies and relationshipsbetween towns in the Province of Lubuskie seen from the spatial point of view. The volume and sequence rule of Zipf ’s law as well as the gravitation model have been used as the statistical tools. Thedata valid as in 2015 were accounted for in the analysis. Results from the empirical studies show thatdespite a similar urban density in Lubuskie Province and generally across Poland, the town system in theregion is visibly specific. Apart from two largest cities playing a regional and cross-regional function,i.e. Zielona Góra and Gorzów Wlkp., the issue of how small and middle-sized towns function in theprovince comes to the fore.
Area-Selective Deposition of Ruthenium by Area-Dependent Surface Diffusion
Authors: Grillo Fabio , Soethoudt Job , Marques Esteban A. , Martin Lilian de , Dongen Kaat Van , Ommen J. Ruud van , Delabie Annelies
Published: June 2020

Area-selective deposition (ASD) enables the growth of materials on target regions of patterned substrates for applications in fields ranging from microelectronics to catalysis. Selectivity is often achieved through surface modifications aimed at suppressing or promoting the adsorption of precursor molecules. Here we show, instead, that varying the surface composition can enable ASD by affecting surface diffusion rather than adsorption. Ru deposition from (carbonyl)- (alkylcyclohexadienyl)Ru and H2 produces smooth films on metal nitrides and nanoparticles on SiO2. The latter form by surface diffusion and aggregation of Ru adspecies. Kinetic modeling shows that changing the surface termination of SiO2 from -OH to -CH3, and thus its surface energy, leads to larger and fewer nanoparticles because of a 1000-fold increase in surface diffusion rates. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations show that even surface diffusion alone can enable ASD because adspecies tend to migrate from high- to low-diffusivity regions. This is corroborated by deposition experiments on 3D TiN-SiO2 nanopatterns, which are consistent with Ru migrating from SiO2 to TiN. Such insights not only have implications for the interpretation of experimental results but may also inform new ASD protocols, based on chemical vapor and atomic layer deposition, that take advantage of surface diffusion.

Melarikan anak gadis orang, akibat penentangan dari pihak keluarga perempuan, terjadi di kelompok masyarakat Batak. Dikenal dengan mangalua, suatu bentuk perkawinan dalam adat Batak Toba, di mana seorang lelaki dengan wanita pilihannya mau melaksanakan perkawinan bersama dengan melarikan diri. Dalam konteks situasi, mangalua adalah kawin lari secara bebas. Secara leksikal berarti melaksanakan kegiatan membawa lari atau melarikan. Secara konseptual berarti sepasang muda-mudi kawin di luar prosedur perkawinan ideal. Meskipun kawin lari sebagai bentuk pelanggaran adat, tersedia tata-tertib penyelesaiannya. Dari kejadian perkawinan lari itu dapat berlaku bentuk perkawinan jujur, dan mandiri, tergantung pada perundingan keluarga kedua belah pihak. Pengkajian sosiologis, menyoroti segi-segi sosial kemasyarakatan secara obyektif berkaitan dengan perilaku masyarakat, kebiasaan, adat istiadat, dan situasi perang antar kampung. Kini dapat dilihat hubungan erat antara kebudayaan dan masyarakat, karena aturan menentukan suatu perbuatan. Studi ini, tidak dapat dipisahkan dari totalitas kehidupan dan hubungan sosial historisnya, oleh sebab itu, strukturalisme genetik mengaitkan asal usul karya tersebut.
PEMBAGIAN WARIS DALAM HIKAYAT HAUJ JAWABIR: SEBUAH KAJIAN KONTEKSTUALITAS
Authors: Cahyani Rigita
Published: June 2020

Waris merupakan salah satu hal yang telah diatur Islam karena termaktub secara eksplisit, baik di dalam Alquran maupun Hadis. Bahkan, proporsi pembagian dan penerima warisan pun sudah ditentukan secara tegas dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI). KHI berisi tentang syarat-syarat muwaris yang dapat mewarisi ahli waris, asas-asas hukum waris, sebab-sebab yang dapat menjadi penghalang dan membatalkan perpindahan harta kepada ahli waris, orang-orang yang berhak mendapatkan warisan dan kelompok-kelompok ahli waris, serta ketentuan pembagian harta warisan. Pembagian waris merupakan topik permasalahan utama yang diangkat dalam Hikayat Hauj Jawabir (selanjutnya disingkat HHJ). Adapun ikhtisar cerita dalam teks HHJ adalah Hauj Jawabir merupakan seorang saudagar yang kaya raya dari tanah Hindustan. Ia mempunyai tiga orang anak kandung yang kesemuanya adalah laki-laki. Lalu, Ia membagikan semua harta warisannya kepada ketiga anak laki-lakinya. Artinya, pembagian harta warisan tersebut dilakukan pada saat orang tua mereka dalam hal ini, Hauj Jawabir masih hidup pada saat usia sudah senja. Permasalahan yang muncul kemudian adalah setelah pembagian harta warisan tersebut, justru Hauj Jawabir mendapatkan perlakuan yang tidak menyenangkan dari ketiga orang putranya. Ketiga anaknya menganggap bahwa keberadaan sang ayah (Hauj Jawabir) sudah tidak berhak sedikit pun atas segala harta benda yang dimilikinya. Hal itulah yang kemudian akan dikaji secara kontekstual dengan ketentuan hukum waris yang sudah ada, terutama dengan ketentuan hukum waris berdasarkan Kompilasi Hukum Islam.

PEMBELAJARAN SASTRA POPULER BERBASIS WATTPAD SEBAGAI UPAYA PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN LITERASI BACA TULIS
Authors: Apriyani Tristanti
Published: June 2020

Student literacy ability of Indonesian Literature Study Program in Ahmad Dahlan University still lacks attention and handling. This resulted in a low ability of students in literacy literacy skills. While literacy skills can help students to develop critical thinking, divergent thinking, and positive thinking in solving problems. As scholars, prospective scientists and agents of change, students are required to master literacy skills and critical thinking in facing the 21st century's fierce competition. Literacy ability in question here is literacy in the broad sense of being aware of technology, conscious of information, thinking critically, and sensitive to the environment. A person is said to have literacy skills if he is able to understand something because he reads the right information and does something based on his understanding of the contents of the reading. The use of the internet in literary learning is considered to be used as one of the learning models which is supposed to be able to foster independence in learning Popular Literature. To examine the learning process of Wattpad-based Popular Literature, this study uses the mixed methods approach. The results of the study show that the Wattpad application can help students to sharpen literacy skills. The use of Wattpad is considered to provide an interesting learning experience for students.
Teaching college chemistry in the time of COVID-19 pandemic: A personal account of teaching in the old normal vs. the new normal
Authors: Guidote Armando, Jr. M.
Published: June 2020

The SARS CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2), cause of COVID-19 (CoronaVirus Disease 2019) has afflicted close to 10 million people all over the world resulting to almost half a million deaths.  This disease is severely contagious and necessitates social or physical distancing between persons. As such, traditional face-to-face learning is not advised and teachers need to shift to online teaching.  There are challenges to online teaching and learning for students, teachers, and the higher education institute, e.g. hardware, bandwidth, and software issues. These will be difficult but these can be overcome eventually.  This work is a personal account of the old normal or traditional way of teaching Organic Chemistry and the transition to the new normal of teaching on-line.  On-line teaching can be as effective as traditional teaching but everyone has to put in effort and participate in training to get used to this. In the end, it is the teacher’s being a true teacher that matters, that the teacher teaches to the best of his or her ability even during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Persuasive bodies: Testimonies of deep brain stimulation and Parkinson's on YouTube
Authors: Addison Courtney , Gardner John , Warren Narelle , Samuel Gabby
Published: June 2020

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Contemporary publics actively engage with diverse forms of media when seeking health-related information. The hugely popular digital media platform YouTube has become one means by which people share their experiences of healthcare. In this paper, we examine amateur YouTube videos featuring people receiving Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. DBS has become a widely implemented treatment, and it is surrounded by high expectations that can create difficulty for clinicians, patients and their families. We examine how DBS, Parkinson's disease, and DBS recipients themselves, are delineated within these YouTube videos. The videos, we demonstrate, contain common compositional and stylistic elements that collectively represent DBS as a technological fix, and which accentuate the autonomy of the DBS recipient. The relational, interpersonal dimensions of chronic illness, and the complex impact of DBS on family dynamics, are elided. We therefore shed light on the means by which high expectations regarding DBS are sustained and circulated, and more generally, we illustrate how potentially powerful representations of medical technologies can emerge from the intersection of social media platforms, afflicted bodies and patient narratives.

Published: June 2020

It is important in the design of the vocabulary component of a teaching program that teachers are able to discover the state of their learners' vocabulary knowledge. It is also important that researchers can draw on a variety of vocabulary measures to investigate the nature of vocabulary growth. This study focuses on a controlled production measure of vocabulary consisting of items from five frequency levels, and using a completion item type like the following. The garden was full of fra flowers. The controlled-production vocabulary-levels test was found to be reliable, valid (in that the levels distinguished between different proficiency groups) and practical. There was a satisfactory degree of equivalence between two equivalent forms of the test. © 1999 Arnold.

Published: June 2020

This article presents new historical research on Asian art—particularly Chinese art—in New Zealand through the examination of the content and reception of the Loan Exhibition of Oriental Art, which was held in Christchurch from May to June 1935. It situates the exhibition within the context of Depression-era New Zealand, examines the place of Chinese art, in particular, in the developing cultural nationalism of New Zealand of this period, and highlights the role of one local connoisseur in the making of the exhibition. Moreover, the article’s focus on the southern hemisphere fills a gap in global histories of Chinese art exhibition in this period.
Using texts to sequence the introduction of new vocabulary in an eap course
Authors: Worthington D , Nation Paul
Published: June 2020

This paper examines the feasibility of allowing the texts that are used in a course to sequence the target vocabulary of a course, in this paper the vocabulary of academic study as represented by the University Word List. It was found that such an approach would only allow the learners to meet a little over half of the 836 word vocabulary and that a three-step sequencing procedure would be needed to effectively meet all of the wanted vocabulary. The three steps would involve (1) using adapted texts to gradually introduce the very common academic words, (2) using unsimplified texts to meet the next 200-300 words, and (3) relying on extensive reading and planned decontextualised learning to meet the remaining lower frequency items.

Published: June 2020

Using frequency, text coverage, and range as criteria, this study looks at the dividing line between a general service vocabulary and a special purposes vocabulary. A general service vocabulary gives a good return for learning up to the 2000 word level and after that a special purposes vocabulary gives a better return for learning effort for those learners going on with special interests. © 1995.
How useful is eap vocabulary for esp? a corpus based case study
Authors: Sutarsyah C , Nation Paul , Kennedy G
Published: June 2020

This study compares the vocabulary of a single Economics text of almost 300,000 running words with the vocabulary of a corpus of similar length made up of a variety of academic texts. It was found that the general academic corpus used a very much larger vocabulary than the more focused Economics text. A small number of words that were closely related to the topic of the text occurred with very high frequency in the Economics text. The general academic corpus had a very large number of low frequency words. Beyond the words in West's General Service List and the University Word List, there was little overlap between the vocabulary of the two corpora. This indicates that as far as vocabulary is concerned, EAP courses that go beyond the high frequency academic vocabulary are of little value for learners with specific purposes. © 1994, Sage Publications.

Word families
Authors: Bauer Laurie , Nation Paul
Published: June 2020

The idea of a word family is important for a systematic approach to vocabulary teaching and for deciding the vocabulary load of texts. Inclusion of a related form of a word within a word family depends on criteria involving frequency, regularity, productivity and predictability. These criteria are applied to English affixes so that the inflectional affixes and the most useful derivational affixes are arranged into a graded set of seven levels. This set of levels and others like it have value in guiding teaching and learning, in standardising vocabulary load and vocabulary size research, in investigating lexical development and lexical storage, and in guiding dictionary making. © 1993 Oxford University Press.

In different cultures mostly people speak their native language but use English as an alternate. This paper explains the lexical borrowing that means the explanation about some words from Urdu that has turned out to be part of the English language in newspapers of Pakistan. In this regard, the most circulated and popular English Newspapers of Pakistan, The Nation and The News were selected to analyze the words from Urdu being normally used in the English language. One year period from 1st January to 31st December 2019 has been selected for this research. The researchers draw from the categories of hard and soft news, formed by Tuchman in 1973, in the selected newspapers. The basic theme of this study is that finding the Urdu words that have become part of English language in Pakistani circumstances. This is a study of Urdu borrow words that got their way in English in daily communication and  concludes that there are a variety of Urdu terms that have been used in the English language for communication in English newspapers of Pakistan.
Evaluation of physicochemical, bacteriological and parasitological quality of selected well water samples in Awka and its environment, Anambra State, Nigeria
Authors: Umeh Odera R. , Chukwura Edna I. , Ibo M. , Uba Bright O.
Published: June 2020

Water quality is made up of physical, chemical and biological factors which influence the use of water for domestic purposes. Industrial and municipal solid and liquid wastes are being continuously leached into water reservoirs, thereby affecting its potability for domestic use. In this study, the physicochemical, bacteriological and parasitological evaluation of selected well water samples in Awka and its environment were evaluated during wet season. Standard methods for physicochemical, bacteriological and parasitological analyses were employed. Physicochemical analysis was done using standard analytical methods; bacteriological analysis was determined by dilution and membrane filtration techniques. Parasitological analysis was done using the centrifugation method. The result showed that 86.67% of the pH values were acidic,  6.67% of nitrate, 33.33% of phosphate, 20% of cadmium, 73.33% of lead, 26.67% of arsenic, 20% of iron, 100% of bacteria and parasites exceeded the WHO maximum containment level goal for domestic water while other parameters were within WHO standards for domestic water. The most polluted of all the well water samples is Aka well water while the least polluted is Emeka and Aqua well waters. S. typhi had the highest frequency of isolation (25.45%) while Bacillus subtilis had the least (1.56%). Diplostomum parasite had the highest frequency of isolation (42.86%) while Ichthyobodo and Chilodonella had the least (28.57% respectively). Since some of the physicochemical, bacteriological and parasitological parameters had values above World Health Organization admissible limits; governments, health and environmental experts must rectify (through water treatments and better sanitary practices) and enlighten the residents to prevent epidemics.

Published: June 2020

Water as excellent natural resource is meant to be of high quality to reduce the outbreak of water-borne diseases. Bacteriological load of some borehole water samples in Mile 50 Abakaliki were carried out to determine their potability. Fifteen borehole water samples were sampled during rainy and dry season from June to July and November to December 2018 respectively. The total bacterial count was determined by tenfold serial dilution method using peptone water. Eight bacterial species namely Vibrio cholerae, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Shigella flexineri, Proteus vulgaris and Klebsiella  pneumoniaewere isolated using standard analytical procedures. The bacterium that had the highest frequency of occurrence during both rainy and dry season’s was K. pneumoniae with percentage frequency of  21.81% and 20.79%  respectively, and P. vulgaris had the least value of 6.96% during rainy season. E. coli and S. aureus have the least value of 5.94% during dry season. Amoxicillin (30ug) was mostly resisted by the bacterial isolates why being was more susceptible to Ciprofloxacin (10ug) among the antibiotics used for susceptibility test. Two way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the level of significance among the bacteriological analyses of both seasons. Therefore, there is need to create awareness about the present situation of the borehole waters and the necessity for further treatment of water by consumers, before it can be used for both drinking and domestic purposes to prevent disease outbreak in the area.
Yield performance of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) on different substrate
Authors: Paudel Samita , Dhakal Deependra
Published: June 2020

Substrate type is an important factor determining growth and yield of oyster mushroom. Five different substrates namely rice straw, maize husks, banana leaves, fingermillet husk and mixture of rice straw and black gram pod shell (1:1) were evaluated for the yield and related attributes of Pleurotus ostreatus. Standard cultivation practice was followed with steam sterilization and spawning was done on 575 g of substrate in individual poly-bag. The data of three flushes were recorded. Our results revealed that full spawn run completed earlier (18.57 days) in fingermillet husk as compared to any other tested substrates. The highest total quantity yield was obtained in fingermillet husk (1024.57g/bag) and rice straw (956.14g/bag) with corresponding biological efficiency 178.19% and 166.29%, respectively which were significantly higher than all other treatments (Mandeel et al., 2005). The cropping duration was significantly higher in maize husks and banana leaves as compared to rest of three treatments viz., fingermillet husk, rice straw and mixture of rice straw and black gram pod shell (1:1). These three treatments were not statistically different for cropping duration with each other. Considering the biological efficiency and earliness of crop the performance of fingermillet husk, followed by rice straw was found to be better.
Correlation and path coefficient analysis among yield and yield attributing traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes
Authors: Upadhyay Koshraj
Published: June 2020

To assess correlation and to find out the direct and indirect effect of yield attributing traits on grain yield, thirty wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes were experimented at Kamalamai-04, Phant, of Sindhuli district, Nepal. The experiment was laid out in alpha-lattice design with three replications. Thirteen quantitative traits including grain yield of wheat were studied during this study. The grain yield of wheat has significant (P≤0.01) and positive genotypic and phenotypic correlation with number of spikes per meter (0.6**, 0.47**), grains per spike (0.69**, 0.65**), weight of grains per spike (0.69**, 0.61**), thousand kernel weight (0.87**, 0.74**), maturity days (0.5*, 0.47**), above ground mass yield (0.96**, 0.83**) and  harvest index (0.93**, 0.64**) of wheat. The genotypic correlation is higher in magnitude than the phenotypic correlation for almost all the studied traits. Path analysis of genotypic correlation showed a high positive direct effect of plant height (0.75), above ground biomass (0.6), spike length (0.43), and harvest index (0.29) on grain yield of wheat. Hence, for increasing yield of wheat in the breeding program, selection and hybridization can be made more effective and accurate by using those a significant positive correlation coefficient and direct effect on the grain yield of wheat.
A review on Bangabandhu and agriculture: Future path for self-sufficiency in food production of Bangladesh
Authors: Chowhan Sushan
Published: June 2020

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is one of the rabble rousing, undisputable and charismatic leaders in the global history. Due to his inherent and extra ordinary qualities he gained the trust, support and hope of the general peoples (East-Bengalis). This paper aims to review the key roles played by him for uplifting the agricultural sector of Bangladesh. Bangladesh wouldn’t become independent and a sovereign country without his bold contribution. After the bloody liberation war of 1971; the country had a poor and fragile economy and shortage of all sorts of basic needs specially food. After the formation of government, the leader took revolutionary steps for reformation of the agricultural sector of the country. From his intuition he felt that, for agricultural development and gaining self-sufficiency in food production; some major changes have to be done. Thus, he put special emphasis on agricultural education, research, extension, industries and markets; he also waived the taxes on agricultural lands. To encourage innovative and talented students to study agriculture; he upgraded the status of the agriculturists to first class officer. Bangabandhu’s vision was clear, challenging and reality based. He decorated the agricultural policies basing on the farmers and their economic conditions. The leader put special importance in practicing integrated agriculture so that we may get all types of food (cereal, pulse, oil, vegetable, fruits, fish, and livestock). Due to his dynamic efforts and future guidelines at that time (1972-1975); today Bangladesh has not only achieved food security but also became a role model for agricultural development globally. Through his ideology and principles Bangladesh is moving rapidly forward to become a developed country by 2041.

Published: June 2020

Snails are important part of our terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. They are molluscian members having their effective role in biomonitoring, nutrient cycling and medicinal development. They are integral part of food chain system and have direct or indirect impact in maintaining ecological functioning. Besides their importance, they are documented with largest extinction rate as compared to other existed taxa. This is due to the fact that, unexploration and poor attention has been given in the research and development by the scientific world. Till now, a little information is available related to systematics, life history, population biology, threats and conservation status of these slimy organisms. This paper briefly reviews the diversity of terrestrial, freshwater and marine snails with the existed threats with their conservation approaches which may proved to be fruitful in developing awareness related to the snails in the society.

Sentinel surveillance of acute hospitalisations in response to infectious disease emergencies such as the 2009 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 pandemic is well described, but recognition of its potential to supplement routine public health surveillance and provide scalability for emergency responses has been limited. We summarise the achievements of two national paediatric hospital surveillance networks relevant to vaccine programmes and emerging infectious diseases in Canada (Canadian Immunization Monitoring Program Active; IMPACT from 1991) and Australia (Paediatric Active Enhanced Disease Surveillance; PAEDS from 2007) and discuss opportunities and challenges in applying their model to other contexts. Both networks were established to enhance capacity to measure vaccine preventable disease burden, vaccine programme impact, and safety, with their scope occasionally being increased with emerging infectious diseases’ surveillance. Their active surveillance has increased data accuracy and utility for syndromic conditions (e.g. encephalitis), pathogen-specific diseases (e.g. pertussis, rotavirus, influenza), and adverse events following immunisation (e.g. febrile seizure), enabled correlation of biological specimens with clinical context and supported responses to emerging infections (e.g. pandemic influenza, parechovirus, COVID-19). The demonstrated long-term value of continuous, rather than incident-related, operation of these networks in strengthening routine surveillance, bridging research gaps, and providing scalable public health response, supports their applicability to other countries.
Recurrent invasive meningococcal infections – quantifying the risk, Germany, 2002 to 2018
Authors: Krone Manuel , Lâm Thiên-Trí , Claus Heike , Vogel Ulrich
Published: June 2020

Introduction

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a rare condition with a high case fatality rate. While most patients suffer from one single episode in life, there is anecdotal evidence for recurrent infection.

Aim

The German National Reference Laboratory for Meningococci and Haemophilus influenzae (NRZMHi) analysed IMD cases from 2002 to 2018 to retrospectively quantify the risk of recurrent infection.

Methods

Recurrent IMD was defined as detection of Neisseria meningitidis in a sample of the same patient more than 30 days after the first episode of IMD.

Results

Among 5,854 patients with a median observation period of 9.4 years, 14 suffered a second IMD episode and one patient a third one. The risk of a recurrent IMD was 29.4 per 100,000 person-years for survivors of the first episode. Rare serogroups (Y, W, E and Z) were more common in patients with recurrent IMD (p < 0.0001).

Discussion

Patients surviving IMD were at least at a 50-fold risk of another IMD episode compared with the general population. The study most likely underestimated the risk of recurrent infection. Increased risk may be due to undiagnosed complement deficiencies. The high risk of re-infection argues for vaccination of patients who have survived IMD.
Rapid spread of OXA-244-producing Escherichia coli ST38 in Germany: insights from an integrated molecular surveillance approach; 2017 to January 2020

Published: June 2020

Annually, increasing numbers of OXA-244-producing Escherichia coli in 13 German federal states prompted us to initiate an outbreak investigation. Whole genome sequencing revealed that among 148 isolates analysed, most belonged to sequence type 38 with 62 isolates forming a genetically distinct cluster. Although no epidemiological link could be identified between cases, ongoing investigations suggest non-healthcare associated transmission. A screening-PCR was developed facilitating early detection of ST38 cluster isolates to identify the source and transmission route.

We investigated why a clinical meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolate yielded false-negative results with some commercial PCR tests for MRSA detection. We found that an epidemic European CC1-MRSA-IV clone generally exhibits this behaviour. The failure of the assays was attributable to a large insertion in the orfX/SCCmec integration site. To ensure the reliability of molecular MRSA tests, it is vital to monitor emergence of new SCCmec types and junction sites.

The usage of nano-sized quantum dots (QDs) particularly in guest-host based hybrid mediums revealed enhancements in electro-optical properties of the mediums, therefore the focus of considerable amount of contemporary studies has been about dispersal of QDs for improvements in medium. This study investigates the effects of CdTe QD dispersal on current-voltage characteristics of some liquid crystalline materials such as E63, E7 and SCLP. Current is increased for all samples due to QD dispersal, however the best improvement is obtained for E7. Hence, current-voltage characteristics of E7 and QD dispersed E7 mediums were also investigated under UV light exposure. Current values of both mediums were found to increase with increasing UV light power due to generation of electron-hole pairs. Photocurrent’s dependence on light power revealed that QD dispersal does not affect recombination mechanism in the medium. On the other hand, UV light responsivity of QD dispersed E7 was obtained approximately twice of that of E7. Thus, it was concluded that CdTe QDs make considerable contribution to current-voltage and photoconductivity characteristics of E7 in dark and under UV light illumination.
