INTRODUCTION: With the emergence of newer SARS-CoV-2 variants and their substantial effects on the levels and duration of protection against infection, an understanding of these characteristics of the protection conferred by humoral and cellular immunity can aid in the proper development and implementation of vaccine and safety guidelines.
METHODS: We conducted a rapid literature review and searched five electronic databases weekly from 1 November 2021 to 30 September 2022. Studies that assessed the humoral or cellular immunity conferred by infection, vaccination or a hybrid (combination of both) in adults and risk groups (immunocompromised and older populations) were identified. Studies were eligible when they reported data on immunological assays of COVID-19 (related to vaccination and/or infection) or the effectiveness of protection (related to the effectiveness of vaccination and/or infection).
RESULTS: We screened 5103 studies and included 205 studies, of which 70 provided data on the duration of protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection. The duration of protection of adaptive immunity was greatly impacted by Omicron and its subvariants: levels of protection were low by 3–6 months from exposure to infection/vaccination. Although more durable, cellular immunity also showed signs of waning by 6 months. First and second mRNA vaccine booster doses increased the levels of protection against infection and severe disease from Omicron and its subvariants but continued to demonstrate a high degree of waning over time.
CONCLUSION: All humoral immunities (infection-acquired, vaccine-acquired and hybrid) waned by 3–6 months. Cellular immunity was more durable but showed signs of waning by 6 months. Hybrid immunity had the highest magnitude of protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Boosting may be recommended as early as 3–4 months after the last dose, especially in risk groups.

Authors: Alcoba Rowena  C. , La-ongsri Waranya , La-ongsri Waewwan
Published: May 2024

There appears to be a lack of literature analyzing and comparing experiences and behavior of foreign and domestic tertiary students in non-traditional destinations. Using quantitative approach, this study examined and compared how international and home students in Thailand perceive the extent of internationalization of their host institution, their sense of belongingness, discriminatory experiences and satisfaction. Findings showed that both groups of students did not perceive differently the academic, social and organizational dimensions of internationalization. However, foreign students felt a stronger sense of belongingness and higher level of satisfaction than their local counterparts. They had a more positive perception of the course contents and the university’ s physical environment. They indicated less positive perception of the availability of opportunities to socialize, to participate in exchange study, and to use the English language in learning and communication. The differing perceptions and attitudes of domestic and foreign students suggest that the institution may consider to further develop and improve the various aspects of internationalization in order to satisfy their needs and enhance their student experience.

Detection of Phytopathogens in Agricultural Crops Using Nanodiagnostic Techniques
Authors: Enespa  , Chandra Prem
Published: May 2024

One of the main things restricting yields of crops is diseases that affect plants. Which continue to be the major agricultural threat in the globe and drastically reduce yields of crops internationally, creating serious issues for the availability of food. Despite the fact that chemical-based medication persists as the main tactic for lowering the incidence of agricultural ailments, their frequent usage can make the microorganisms less likely to spread. Consequently, effective screening techniques for the immediate detection of plant-borne pathogens in the initial phases of infection have becoming vital to preserving sustainable farming and adequate nutrition. Quantum dots (QDs), nanoparticles, and nanotechnology have become crucial instruments for the rapid and highly accurate assessment of a specific biochemical marker. Tools including such as biosensors, QDs, nanostructured platforms, nanoimaging, and nanopore DNA sequencing have an opportunity to enhance infection detection’s accuracy, precision, and efficiency. They can also make rapid analysis easier and be utilized for crop protection and high-quality monitoring. Additionally, nanodiagnostic tool technology enables professionals to assist producers in avoiding the emergence of pandemics by swiftly and simply identifying potentially hazardous pathogenic organisms in crops.

Safeguarding Citrus: Exploring State-of-the-art Management Strategies for Bacterial Citrus Diseases
Authors: Kukreti Aditya , Karunakar Reddy Namburi
Published: May 2024

Bacterial diseases pose significant risks to the citrus industry, causing major economic losses and threatening global production. The most severe threats include citrus canker (Xanthomonas citri) which leads to visible lesions on leaves, fruit, and stems and Huanglongbing (HLB) (Candidatus Liberibacter spp.) which results in mottled leaves, stunted growth, and deformed, bitter fruit. Beyond these major diseases, citrus blast and citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) are emerging concerns. Citrus blast, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. citri, results in leaf lesions, cankers, and defoliation, managing it involves copper-based bactericides, removing infected branches, and cultural practices to reduce spread. CVC, caused by Xylella fastidiosa, is a vascular disease leading to chlorosis, leaf scorch, and dieback. Management strategies for CVC include controlling insect vectors with insecticides and developing resistant citrus varieties. Integrated disease management is crucial, focusing on sustainable approaches that combine cultural practices, biological control agents, and resistant varieties. Advances in technology, such as molecular diagnostics, remote sensing, and precision agriculture, are improving early detection and monitoring. Public awareness and education are keys to encouraging growers to adopt best practices. Collaboration among researchers, growers, and policymakers remains essential to tackle the complex challenges of bacterial citrus diseases and ensure the citrus industry’s sustainability.

Poems of Migration from Guyana and the Anglophone Caribbean
Authors: Persaud Cheddie Abigail
Published: May 2024

Fictions of migration from Guyana and the Caribbean hold space for migrants’ emotions. Some analyses have been done on longer works of migrant fiction. However, since poem forms are convenient to write when “on the move” it seems like poems of migration from the region should abound. This is sometimes true, especially as regards the volume of poems of departure. However, this is not the case when it comes to poems written by and about those remaining within the region, those who directly bear the effects of emigration. This chapter traces the chronological migratory narrative of Guyana and the Anglophone Caribbean through a selection of 32 poems, first by grouping these poems into four categories, and then by applying some aspects of Kevin Potter’s theory of kinopoetics to the analysis of these poems in order to examine the function of each category to the larger migration narrative of the region.
Wind Tunnel Measurement Techniques
Authors: Harun Zambri , Amer Abbas Ashraf
Published: May 2024

This chapter discusses different measurement techniques of a low-speed wind tunnel designed and built at the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The fully automated wind tunnel is named Pangkor after an island in Perak, Malaysia. Different measurement techniques are used to understand and validate the flow quality of the turbulent boundary-layer profiles at different locations and directions (wall-normal and spanwise). A hot-wire sensor captures the boundary layer over a smooth, flat surface. These data are then compared with high-quality published data. The flow uniformity shows comparable velocity variations and turbulent intensity. The boundary-layer profiles collapse well in different spanwise locations. Furthermore, the boundary-layer profiles at different Reτ follow the standard boundary-layer profile. Since the wind tunnel is relatively new, the calibration method for the hot-wire anemometry is provided. The approach to spectral analysis is provided using a fast Fourier transform (FFT), revealing the prominence of the energized structure of λx+≈1000 residing in the near-wall, in this analysis, we chose z+≈15. The spectral analysis shows that the compounded effects of small and large-scale do not vary with Reτ. Nonetheless, the outer hump is increasingly visible with increasing Reτ. The proposed measurement technique and findings help validate wind tunnel flow quality and turbulent boundary layer profiles.
Perspective Chapter: Reexamining Coase’s Transaction Costs Paradigm in the Context of Blockchain Technology and Smart Contracts
Authors: Arshadi Nasser
Published: May 2024

This paper introduces blockchain-based smart contracts and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) as compelling alternatives to conventional corporate structures. Coase’s pioneering work in the 1930s posited that the decision to organize transactions within a firm hinges on whether it is more cost-effective than executing them in the open marketplace. However, if these transactions can be conducted more efficiently in the marketplace without the need for a traditional firm, that becomes the preferred approach. The advent of blockchain-based smart contracts, along with the adoption of numerous self-executing smart contracts, has the potential to significantly reduce the dependence on traditional firms. Coase’s theorem was contingent on the magnitude of transaction costs, and if smart contracts can substantially diminish these costs, facilitating the emergence of DAOs, the original rationale for forming a firm may no longer apply when considering the blockchain paradigm.
Incorporating Risk into Optimization Models
Authors: Sampath Siddhartha
Published: May 2024

In modern industry, risk is often understood, communicated, and actioned upon through decision support tools. These tools often incorporate machine learning, statistical and optimization models. These models, especially optimization models, are often point estimate based and must be artfully massaged to incorporate uncertainty to build robust—risk adjusted models that provide a good basis for optimal, long term, goal-based decision making. Probability estimation, simulation and chance constrained optimization are three well known techniques that when used alone or in combination can increase the power of optimization models by considering the underlying risk of the process being optimized when recommending alternatives to decision makers.

Célja információt adni a felnőttek hatékonyabb munkaerőpiaci és társadalmi integrációjához a vizsgált területen, rámutatva milyen kompetenciákat lehet fejleszteni a célcsoport folyamatos fejlődése érdekében.
