Published: October 2022

Previous reports from our lab have documented dysregulated host inflammatory reactions in response to bacterial infections in sepsis. Both Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) and Gram-positive bacteria (GPB) play a significant role in the development and progression of sepsis by releasing several virulence factors. During sepsis, host cells produce a range of inflammatory responses including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, nitrite generation, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) release, and pro-inflammatory cytokines production. The current study was conducted to discern the differences in host inflammatory reactions in response to both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus along with the organ dysfunction parameters in patients of sepsis. We examined 60 ICU sepsis patients identified based on the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA II) scores. Pathogen identification was carried out using culture-based methods and gene-specific primers by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Samples of blood from healthy volunteers were spiked with E. coli (GNB) and S. aureus (GPB). The incidence of NETs formation, iNOS expression, total nitrite content, and pro-inflammatory cytokine level was estimated. Prevalence of E. coli, A. baumannii (both GNB), S. aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis (both GPB) was found in sepsis patients. Augmented levels of inflammatory mediators including iNOS expression, total nitrite, the incidence of NETs, and proinflammatory cytokines, during spiking, were found in response to S. aureus infections in comparison with E. coli infections. These inflammatory mediators were found to be positively correlated with organ dysfunction in both GN and GP infections in sepsis patients. Augmented host inflammatory response was generated in S. aureus infections as compared with E. coli.

Vaccine hesitancy is a key contributor to reduced COVID-19 vaccine uptake and remains a threat to COVID-19 mitigation strategies as many countries are rolling out the campaign for booster shots. The goal of our study is to identify and compare the top vaccine concerns in four countries: Canada, Italy, Sweden, and the USA and how these concerns relate to vaccine hesitancy. While most individuals in these countries are now vaccinated, we expect our results to be helpful in guiding vaccination efforts for additional doses, and more in general for other vaccines in the future. We sought to empirically test whether vaccine related concerns followed similar thematic issues in the four countries included in this study, and then to see how these themes related to vaccine hesitancy using data from a cross-sectional survey conducted in May 2021. We applied CFA and created vaccine concern scales for analysis. We then utilized these results in regression-based modeling to determine how concerns related to vaccine hesitancy and whether there were similar or different concerns by country. The results quantitatively highlight that the same vaccine related concerns permeated multiple countries at the same point in time. This implies that COVID-19 vaccination communications could benefit from global collaboration.
Will Bivalent Vaccination against COVID-19 Increase the Desire for COVID-19 Vaccination among Poles?
Authors: Babicki Mateusz
Published: October 2022

Tduration of persistent protection after vaccination against COVID-19 is the sum of many factors, including the used formulation, the vaccination schedule, individual predisposition, clinical status and the SARS-CoV-2 variant. (There is a tendency that?) vaccination regimens demonstrate lower levels of immunity against the currently predominant Omicron variant, which results in the need for subsequent booster doses. Thus, bivalent formulations have been recently developed to additionally target the Omicron variant. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to assess whether bivalent vaccines would increase interest in vaccination among Poles. For this purpose, an original questionnaire distributed via the Internet and targeting Poles over the age of 18 was used. Results: The survey included 594 respondents, the vast majority of whom were women (79.3%), residents of large cities (44.7%) and those with a university education (86.3%). The average age was 36.6 ± 9.67 years. Only 48.7% of respondents had heard of bivalent vaccination against COVID-19. 408 (72.3%) respondents confirmed that if they had the choice, they would opt for the bivalent preparation. People who have already taken at least 1 booster dose are by far the most common group. Among the unvaccinated, the percentage is only 8.9%. For 190 (33.7%) of respondents, the availability of bivalent preparations will help accelerate their decision to vaccinate against COVID-19. Conclusions: Bivalent vaccination is an important part of the fight against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, it is forecasted that its implementation will not contribute significantly to the increase in vaccination-related interest rate among those previously unvaccinated or only after the basic regimen. Therefore further observations in this direction are necessary.

Published: October 2022

COVID-19 vaccines are one of the best tools to limit the spread of the virus. However, vaccine hesitancy is increasing worldwide, and France is one of the most hesitant countries. From the beginning of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign, health care workers (HCW) have been prioritized in the vaccination strategy but were also hesitant. This study was conducted to identify and understand the determinants of COVID-19 vaccination intention in the French context, with a view to promoting HCW vaccination. A qualitative study using individual semi-structured interviews of HCWs was carried out at the beginning of the vaccination campaign (January to April 2021) in a French university hospital. Interviews indicated that the vaccination intention of HCWs was influenced by confidence in the proposed vaccines, past experience with vaccines and disease, the opinions and vaccination status of others, and media handling of information related to COVID-19 vaccination. Improving HCW vaccination intention regarding COVID-19 vaccines could be achieved through the dissemination of clear, reassuring, scientific information. Information should be disseminated by HCWs and vaccination experts and adapted to local contexts. To improve the level of confidence and vaccination uptake through a compliance effect, it would be useful to promote positive COVID-19 vaccination experiences and increased rates of immunization.

There are limited data available about the durability of the immune response after administration of the widely used adenovirus-vectored ChAdOx1-nCoV-19 vaccine in cancer patients. This prospective longitudinal observational study analyzed follow-up data of immunogenic responses 12 weeks after the second dose of the ChAdOx1-nCoV-19 vaccine in 290 oncological patients compared to healthy controls. The study aimed to assess the persistence of the humoral immune response three months after the second dose, and omicron neutralization was also evaluated. Three months after completion of the second vaccine dose, the geometric mean titer of SARS-CoV-2 binding total Ig statistically decreased by 42% compared to those at 4 weeks, and was lower than that of the healthy control. Six percent of patients became seronegative for anti-RBD total Ig. Only 5% (2 of 40 samples) tested positive for surrogate neutralization against SAR-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2. Across different therapy types, a waning in immunogenicity was observed within three months after the second dose of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine, rendering it insufficient at that point to protect against the SAR-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 variant.

Authors: Murphy Hannah , Ly Hinh
Published: October 2022

Lassa fever (LF) is a deadly viral hemorrhagic fever disease that is endemic in several countries in West Africa. It is caused by Lassa virus (LASV), which has been estimated to be responsible for approximately 300,000 infections and 5000 deaths annually. LASV is a highly pathogenic human pathogen without effective therapeutics or FDA-approved vaccines. Here, we aim to provide a literature review of the current understanding of the basic mechanism of immune responses to LASV infection in animal models and patients, as well as to several of its candidate vaccines.

Published: October 2022

A vital function of the immune system is the modulation of an evolving immune response. It is responsible for guarding against a wide variety of pathogens as well as the establishment of memory responses to some future hostile encounters. Simultaneously, it maintains self-tolerance and minimizes collateral tissue damage at sites of inflammation. In recent years, the regulation of T-cell responses to foreign or self-protein antigens and maintenance of balance between T-cell subsets have been linked to a distinct class of cell surface and extracellular components, the immune checkpoint molecules. The fact that both cancer and viral infections exploit similar, if not the same, immune checkpoint molecules to escape the host immune response highlights the need to study the impact of immune checkpoint blockade on viral infections. More importantly, the process through which immune checkpoint blockade completely changed the way we approach cancer could be the key to decipher the potential role of immunotherapy in the therapeutic algorithm of viral infections. This review focuses on the effect of programmed cell death protein 1/programmed death-ligand 1 blockade on the outcome of viral infections in cancer patients as well as the potential benefit from the incorporation of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in treatment of viral infections.

Published: October 2022

Understanding trends in vaccine refusal is critical to monitor as small declines in vaccination coverage can lead to outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. Using electronic heath record (EHR) data from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s 31 outpatient primary care sites, we created a cohort of 403,448 children less than age 20 years who received at least one visit from 1 January 2013 through 31 December 2020. The sample represented 1,449,061 annualized patient and 181,131 annualized preventive vaccination visits per year. We characterized trends in vaccine refusal and acceptance using a repeated cross-sectional observational analysis of electronic health records (EHR) data using a single annual merged observation measure for patients seen multiple times for preventive healthcare within a calendar year. Refusals were identified for 212,900 annualized patient-visit year observations, which represented 14.6% of annualized patient-visit year observations and 25.1% of annualized vaccine patient-year observations. The odds of having a refusal marker were significantly increased in patients seen in suburban practices (aOR [CI]: 2.35 [2.30–2.40, p < 0.001]), in patients with increased age 11–17 years (aOR [CI]: 3.85 [3.79–3.91], p < 0.001), and those eligible for the VFC program (aOR [CI]: 1.10 [1.08–1.11]. Parental refusal (61.0%) and provider decisions (32.0%) were the most common documented in progress notes for not administering vaccines, whereas contraindications (2.5%) and supply issues (1.8%) were the least common. When offered, vaccine acceptance increased for human papillomavirus, hepatitis B, measles-mumps-rubella-containing and varicella-containing vaccines and decreased for hepatitis A and meningococcal vaccines. Repeated offering of vaccines was central to increasing acceptance, in part due to increased opportunities to address specific concerns.

Published: October 2022

The mortality rate after novel coronavirus infection, which causes severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (SARS-CoV-2), is much higher in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) compared to the general population. Seroconversion after vaccination is also lower, and breakthrough infection is much higher. Many studies reported seroconversion rate after a booster (third) dose of vaccine but clinical outcomes received less attention. Here, we reported the impact of an mRNA vaccine booster dose on clinical outcomes of KTRs with SARS-CoV-2 infection. A total of 183 KTRs with SARS-CoV-2 infection were identified. Of 183 KTRs, 146 KTRs had sufficient data for analysis and were included in this study. Forty-eight patients (32.9%) received zero to 1 doses of vaccine (Group 1), thirty-one (21.2%) received two doses (Group 2), and sixty-seven (45.9%) received a booster dose (Group 3). Pneumonia developed in 50%, 23%, and 10% in Group 1, 2, and 3 (p < 0.001). Hospital admission requirement was 81%, 48%, and 12% (p < 0.001). Mortality rate was 26%, 3%, and 3% (p = 0.001). A multivariate analysis showed that only diabetes adversely affects mortality while the booster dose of the vaccine significantly reduced mortality. The booster dose of the vaccine is strongly recommended in all KTRs especially those with diabetes. Our study also suggested the timing of the booster dose vaccine to be administered within 4 months after the second dose.
Transformación económica: Perspectivas desde la Unión Europea
Authors: Brun Lídia
Published: October 2022

La globalización financiera de las últimas décadas ha moldeado la configuración productiva de los países, ha aumentado su exposición a shocks externos y ha generado interdependencias entre los regímenes regulatorios (impositivos, laborales, financieros) y macroeconómicos (fiscales y monetarios). Sin mecanismos de gobernanza global que compensaran el margen reducido de la política doméstica, constreñida por la liberalización de los flujos de capital, los procesos de integración han propiciado la acumulación de desequilibrios, han inflado el peso del sector financiero y han tendido a aumentar la desigualdad. Si bien la Unión Europea ha acompañado su integración económica con instituciones del mismo alcance que el mercado, su arquitectura incompleta supuso una importante fuente de vulnerabilidad durante la gran crisis financiera. En contraste, la respuesta a la crisis de la COVID-19 puso de manifiesto la capacidad de los Estados para garantizar ingresos, movilizar recursos y dirigir los asuntos colectivos. La pandemia también subrayó las carencias de una globalización sin redundancias productivas ni autonomía estratégica. En la fase desglobalizadora que se abre, la tensión entre las interdependencias en una economía globalizada y las pugnas geopolíticas se acentúa con la sucesión de shocks solapados (económico, sanitario, bélico y climático), que dificultan la cooperación.

Published: October 2022

This article focuses on the lexical-semantic features of the language means of contemporary British military fiction. Despite the sustained philological attention to fictional texts of different genres, the relative disregard of the lexical patterning in fiction on military themes stands in need of scrutiny. In order to account for all the lingual and extralingual factors influencing the process of fictional text composition, this article takes a philological approach and conducts an integrated analysis – combining linguistic and literary-theoretical perspectives – of the lexical patterning of contemporary military fiction. Our aim is to establish the main lexical-semantic and stylistic peculiarities of the dominant lexical combinations in contemporary British fiction with macro-, meso- and micro-inclusions of military themes. Functions of the thematic lexicon connected with the war topic are more obvious in the literary texts with macro- and meso-inclusions of military themes. However, their role in the texts with micro-inclusions of military themes is quite significant as well: the details of the military environment and phenomena serve as a means of establishing a close connection between the reader and the storyworld; recollections of the war period echo in the plot line of the characters, reflecting its destructive consequences even long afterwards.

Published: October 2022

With the growth of shopping centers, it can be said that every year there are many minimarkets, supermarkets, hypermarkets, and modern markets such as malls whose existence continues to shift traditional markets in cities throughout Indonesia. People in urban areas tend to prefer to shop for their daily needs at supermarkets or supermarkets. The rapid development of shopping centers raises concerns for some people, because the irregular development of modern markets can result in the extinction of traditional markets or small shops due to their declining turnover. The growing retail giant is a threat to traditional markets, distance rules, zoning and the absence of other restrictions. Even now the modern market is side by side with the traditional market. The sustainability of the efforts of domestic producers and SMEs to encourage domestic products to enter the modern retail market is also an important issue to pay attention to.

Authors: Shanono Nura Jafar , Nasidi Nuraddeen Mukhtar , Yahaya Usman Nura
Published: October 2022

Irrigation has been identified as a key to achieving food demand in the face of rapid increase in population and climate change impact. In northern Nigeria for example, irrigation practice has been adopted as an alternative to achieving in food production to meet the demand of the population. Nevertheless, the existing irrigation schemes encountered several challenges coming from the 5 basic sustainability pillars including social, environmental, economic, institutional and technological. This paper attempts to appraise the current state of irrigation schemes through revealing the underlined challenges confronting these schemes that cut across sustainability pillars. The findings discovered that irrigation schemes contributed immensely toward achieving food security and socio-economic development. However, the huge investment in irrigation sector have resulted in massive economic fatalities. This could be attributed to poor management, under-utilization, and abandonment even though few are performing remarkably well. Thus, there is a need to adopt new water sharing methods that can improve water-use efficiency, users-managers joint approach, building competent institutions with an improved monitoring, evaluation and surveillance systems. Others include frequent policy review, development of water conservation-base law enforcement agency as well as well-timed sensitization and awareness campaigns.
Exploring hexagonal boron nitride as an efficient visible light induced catalyst for the remediation of recalcitrant antibiotic from aqueous media
Authors: Balta Zeynep , Bilgin Şimşek Esra
Published: October 2022

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a novel non-metallic material which is newly discovered in the field of photocatalysis due to its high surface area, excellent optical features and high electrical conductivity. Herein, hexagonal boron nitride whiskers were fabricated by using the polymeric precursor method and, the photocatalytic degradation performance was measured towards tetracycline antibiotic under visible-light-illumination. The morphological, physical, and optical features of the catalyst were identified by several characterization analyses. The characteristic peaks associated with the hexagonal phase of boron nitride were determined and high crystallinity of h-BN was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The characteristic B−N absorption peaks were detected in the Fourier transfer infrared spectrum. Brunauer− Emmet−Teller specific surface area of the boron nitride catalyst was calculated as 1019 m2/g which was relatively high, supplying abundant active regions to interact with the target pol- lutant. In photocatalytic degradation experiments, 91.9% of tetracycline decomposition was achieved within 180 min with a catalyst dosage of 0.2 g/L and initial concentration of 10 mg/L. The outstanding catalytic activity of the h-BN catalyst was attributed to the high surface area and negatively charged groups on the surface which captured the photo-induced holes and inhibited the recombination rate of charge carriers. These findings highlight the potential ap- plication of h-BN in the field of photocatalytic processes.

This work studies the main characteristics of the construction of Student Satisfaction in the undergraduate courses of the Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y de Administración from Universidad de la República, Uruguay, by using and comparing two multivariate data analysis techniques: Cluster Analysis and Latent Classes Analysis.Data used for the implementation presented in this work originate from a survey applied on a sample of undergraduate students in 2009. This questionnaire isstructured in sets of questions: the first set contains variables which allow characterize students sociodemographically. On the other hand, variables from the ECSI (European Customer Satisfaction Index) model which shall be used to characterize Student Satisfaction are presented. The 6 observed/manifest variables considered as input for the construction and characterization of Student Satisfaction are: student -expectations (E) when they begin studying in the institution, the image (I) they have of the institution, the quality of education received (CSA) and of servicesprovided (CSF), the personal needs and desires with regards to College (ND), and the perceived value (VP). On the one hand, results presented arise from considering that there is an actual hidden/latent variable referred to Student Satisfaction and that this variable is defined from the interaction of the 6 manifest variables, by 4 latent classes. On the other hand, with reference to clusters, it is proposed to group students into 3 groups based on the analysis of results arising from clustering using Ward’s method. Additionally, the comparison of results obtained using both techniques is presented.

Areal bekas galian tambang Nikel di Sorowako dan sekitarnya termasuk lahan yang mengalami cekaman logam berat Nikel karena rata-rata masih mengandung Nikel lebih dari 5000 mg.kg-1. Keberadaan logam berat Ni dalam tanah tidak dapat hilang secara alami sehingga diperlukan upaya remediasi dan proses remediasi banyak dipilih karena dianggap ramah lingkungan adalah fitoremediasi. Salah satu jenis tumbuhan endemik yang berpotensi untuk proses fitoremediasi adalah belimbing bajo (Sarcotheca celebica Veldk.) karena tumbuhan liar ini toleran dan banyak tumbuh di sekitar lahan penambangan Nikel tanpa mengalami gangguan toksisitas. Kemampuan belimbing bajo untuk tumbuh normal pada lingkungan yang mengalami cekaman logam Nikel dapat disebabkan karena belimbing bajo mampu menyerap logam Nikel yang berlebihan dari lingkungannya dan mengakumulasi logam Nikel dalam organ tubuhnya. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mengetahui kemampuan tumbuhan belimbing bajo dalam menurunkan jumlah kandungan Nikel dalam tanah yang mengalami cekaman logam berat Nikel. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode diskriptif yaitu mendeskripsikan hasil observasi terhadap pertumbuhan dan analisis kandungan Nikel pada tanah maupun jaringan tumbuhan belimbing bajo. Hasil analisis tanah menunjukkan bahwa kandungan Ni total tanah yang mengalami cekaman logam Ni menurun sebesar 70, 84% setelah media ditanami belimbing bajo selama 25 MST dan diberi pupuk NPK, sedang hasil analisis jaringan daun menunjukkan adanya logam Nikel yang terakumulasi pada daun sebesar 143,77% pada umur 12 MST.  Disimpulkan bahwa belimbing bajo dapat menjadi salah satu tumbuhan endemik yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk remediasi logam berat Nikel dari lahan yang mengalami cekaman karena dapat menurunkan kandungan logam berat Ni.

Pemanfaatan tumbuhan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup oleh masyarakat sekitar hutan sudah berlangsung sejak lama. Namun, saat ini pengetahuan mengenai pemanfaatan tumbuhan tersebut belum banyak terdokumentasikan. Kajian etnobotani di kawasan Taman Nasional Bantimurung Bulusaraung penting dilakukan untuk mendokumentasikan pemanfaatan tumbuhan oleh masyarakat sekitar kawasan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi jenis tanaman berguna dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat sekitar kawasan hutan Taman Nasional Bantimurung Bulusaraung. Kajian ini dilaksanakan di desa yang berbatasan langsung dengan kawasan Taman Nasional Bantimurung Bulusaraung, yakni di Desa Panaikkang dan Desa Tompobulu. Metode pengambilan data dilakukan dengan wawancara terhadap 30 orang responden pada masing-masing desa. Penentuan responden dilakukan secara acak dengan melakukan orientasi lapang untuk mengetahui tingkat pengetahuan dan pemanfaatan masyarakat terkait pemanfaatan tumbuhan berguna. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa interaksi masyarakat di kawasan yang lebih dekat dengan hutan memperlihatkan intensitas dan kebutuhan yang lebih tinggi dengan hutan dibandingkan dengan kawasan yang agak jauh dengan hutan dan lebih dekat dengan kota. Masyarakat Desa Panaikkang menggunakan 47 jenis dari 32 famili, sedangkan data yang diperoleh dari Desa Tompobulu, masyarakat memanfaatkan 82 jenis tumbuhan dari 40 famili

Pengeringan pati sagu sangat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor diantaranya suhu dan kecepatan aliran udara pengering. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh suhu dan kecepatan aliran udara pengering yang digunakan pada PCRD terhadap perubahan warna pati sagu kering. Variabel perlakuan dalam penelitian ini, terdiri dari suhu udara pengering (T) dan kecepatan aliran udara pengering (v). Setiap variabel perlakuan dilakukan sebanyak tiga kali yaitu untuk suhu udara pengering T1 (50°C), T2 (75°C), T3 (100°C). Sedangkan variabel perlakuan kecepatan aliran udara adalah v1 (15 m/s), v2(28 m/s), dan v3 (31 m/s). Setiap variabel perlakuan diulang sebanyak tiga kali. Variabel yang diamati adalah perubahan warna pati sagu kering selama proses pengeringan yaitu tingkat kecerahan (L, a, b), derajat putih (DP), dan color difference (DE).  Untuk menentukan nilai variabel-variabel pengamatan tersebut, maka data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan persamaan matematis dan analisis statistic SPSS 23. Analisis statistik yang digunakan adalah ANOVA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengaruh variabel variasi suhu dan kecepatan aliran udara pengering terhadap perubahan warna pati sagu kering sangat signifikan. Jangkauan suhu antara 50-100oC dan kecepatan udara antara 15-31 m/s memungkinkan digunakan pada proses pengeringan pati sagu dengan mesin pneumatic conveying ring dryer (PCRD) karena menghasilkan tingkat kecerahan warna pati sagu antara 78-81% dari nilai tingkat kecerahan pati sagu basah 83%, derajat putih (DP) antara 70-80%, dan color difference (DE) adalah 2 sampai 6.
