Published: August 2021

O câncer de boca é um problema de saúde pública em todo o mundo. Apesar da grande incidência de casos em países desenvolvidos, a maior parte dos casos detectados tardiamente são em países subdesenvolvidos e frequentemente na população com pouco acesso a serviços de saúde e informação. O diagnóstico precoce exerce um importante papel estratégico nesse enfrentamento, visto que o diagnóstico tardio contribui para um prognóstico desfavorável. As principais causas associadas ao desenvolvimento dessa neoplasia são principalmente o tabagismo e o etilismo. O cirurgião-dentista ocupa um papel de grande importância no diagnóstico do câncer de boca, além disso pode contribuir na elaboração ações e políticas para a prevenção e o diagnóstico precoce do câncer de boca. O objetivo é avaliar, por meio de revisão de literatura a atividade do cirurgião-dentista no diagnóstico e manejo do câncer de boca. Foi realizado uma revisão de literatura usando o Google Acadêmico e palavras-chave: câncer de boca, fatores de risco, cirurgião-dentista, diagnóstico e tratamento. O papel do cirurgião-dentista é de grande importância nos níveis de atenção à saúde, pois além de diagnosticar e acompanhar o paciente com câncer de boca, o qual pode apresentar efeitos colaterais em decorrência do tratamento antineoplásico. O cirurgião-dentista pode contribuir na elaboração e execução de projetos que visam a prevenção, reforçando os fatores de risco e os aspectos clínicos das lesões potencialmente malignas.

Published: August 2021

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 mortality figures in Africa are comparatively lower than the figures in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Many reasons have been adduced for the differences which include the younger population in Africa. We therefore out set to describe the epidemiology and clinical features among in-hospital mortalities in our setting.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of all mortalities due to confirmed COVID-19 at the Jos University Teaching Hospital from April 2020 to April 2021. Descriptive statistics were used to present results and Chi Square analysis used to determine the association between morbidities, sex and ventilator use. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: A total of 80 mortalities were recorded over the 12 month period. Sixty one (76.0%) were males. The mean age of the study population was 61 ± 15 years and twenty nine (36.3%) were aged ≤59 years. The median duration of hospitalization for in-hospital mortality was 4days (IQR 1-35). Fever; 61(76.3%), cough; 59(73.8 %) and dyspnea; 56 (70.0%) were the commonest presenting symptoms and 35(43.8%) had the three symptoms. Hypertension; 48(60.0%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus; 36(45.0%) were the commonest co-morbidities in the patients, and 31(38.8%) had at least two co-morbidities. Eighteen (22.5%) had both hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Hypertension and having two or more co-morbidities where associated with requirement for ventilator support (P <0.013 and P<0.001 respectively).

Conclusion: Fever, cough, dyspnea and two or more co-morbidities are common among COVID-19 mortalities in Jos. Efforts to quickly identify such patients and manage comorbidities are needed to reduce mortality.

Authors: Dorji Tshewang
Published: August 2021

This study was carried out to understand gender stereotype in the curriculum framework and textbooks which form the main curricular materials in schools in Bhutan. The curriculum framework for Accountancy, Economics, Mathematics, Science, Geography, History and English were reviewed by the researchers. Except for science curriculum framework which states that science curriculum should be gender-sensitive in terms of materials used, language used and ensuring the equal participation of boys and girls in activities, other frameworks were all silent on gender. Textbook reviews were carried out by teachers (22 female and 54 male) teaching classes IX to XII in the form of clustered workshops using the Blumberg model of textbook analysis which was employed to analyse gender biases in Vietnamese primary school textbooks. The findings revealed a presence of imbalance of gender among the authors, reviewers, editors and designer as well as the presence of gender biases, gender stereotyping in the content, illustrations and student activity. It calls for curriculum developers and textbooks authors to integrate gender in the curriculum framework which will then guide the development of gender-sensitive textbooks.

Authors:   , Ndaba Sindi Iren
Published: August 2021

The implementation of a smart metering system in the distribution network does not only promote energy loss reduction, but also improves smart grids. This improvement in smart grids is achieved by the high level information infrastructure, monitoring, accurate measurement and metering operations that provide a widespread communication substructure. The direct effect of smart prepaid split meters is on energy flow management and billing advancing, to aiding the power quality when combined with a smart grid system. The study focused on the technical and financial effectiveness of the smart prepaid split metering system on the Eskom distribution network. The objectives of the study were, to investigate the severity of non-technical losses in distribution networks before and after smart prepaid split metering roll-out; to investigate the effectiveness of smart prepaid split metering for the utility and customers; to analyze the technical performance on medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) power distribution networks before and after smart prepaid split metering roll-out; and to analyze the effectiveness of smart prepaid split metering for revenue collections. The questionnaire instrumental survey and historical data were used for the analyses. The primary data was obtained from the questionnaire tool. The collected data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (SPSS) version 26.0 and Microsoft Excel 2016 in order to achieve multiobjective decision-making on the effectiveness of smart prepaid split metering in the utility and customer satisfaction. The different inferential statistics techniques used included regressions, correlations, multifactor analysis (MFA), factor analysis (FA) and chi-square test values. These were interpreted using the p-values to identify the change-point, trend and correlated best-fit time series for decision making. This study concluded that the use of a smart prepaid split metering system faces challenges such as a shortage of experts for new smart meter technology to respond to the faults which led to unfavorable results for power system average interruption duration. The study recommended that South Africa’s power utility (Eskom) should consider educating and train more technical officials concerning smart grids and smart metering to ensure that this metering technology, which is still in the early stages of development, functions efficiently
Enhanced production of inulinase from Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli
Authors:   , Naidoo Kameshnee
Published: August 2021

Xanthomonas campestris pv phaseoli produced an extracellular endoinulinase on various carbon sources. The highest inulinase production of 9.24 ± 0.03 IU ml¯¹by X. campestris pv. phaseoli was attained using an optimized medium comprising of 3% sucrose and 2.5% tryptone. Inulinase production in X. campestris pv. phaseoli was further enhanced through ethylmethanesulfonate mutagenesis. The resulting mutant, X. campestris pv. phaseoli KM 24 demonstrated enhanced inulinase production of 22.09 ± 0.03 IU ml¯¹after 24 h, which was 2.4 – fold higher than that of the wild type. Inulinase production by this mutant was scaled up in a 5 L fermenter yielding a final activity of 21.87 ± 0.03 IU ml¯¹with an inulinase/invertase (I/S) ratio of 2.6 after 18 h. Maximum volumetric (21 865 IU 1¯¹ h¯¹) and specific (119 025 IU g¯¹ h¯¹) productivities of inulinase were attained in a fermenter after 18h growth. Inulin hydrolysis by the crude inulinase and subsequent detection of mono- and oligosaccharides indicated the presence of an endoinulinase. The extracellular endoinulinase from the mutant KM 24 was purified to homogeneity by gel filtration chromatography and had a specific activity of 174.74U/mg. the optimum pH and temperature of the purified enzyme were found to be 6.0 and 50°C, respectively. The enzyme was stable up to 60°C, retaining over 60% activity for 30 min, but activity rapidly declined at temperatures above 60°C. The pure inulinase enzyme was also found to be stable between pH 6-9. The Lineweaver-Burk plots showed that the apparent Km and Vmax values of the inulinase for inulin were 1.15 mg/ml and 15µM/min, respectively. The Kcat value was found to be 0.145 min¯¹ with an enzyme catalytic efficiency of 0.126 mg¯¹.ml.min¯¹.This mutant demonstrated good potential for large scale production of inulinase and fructooligosaccharides.
Bioproduction of riboflavin by fungi using spent industrial oils
Authors:   , Khan Nazihah
Published: August 2021

Riboflavin (vitamin B2), an essential water-soluble vitamin is commercially produced because it cannot be synthesized by vertebrates. Although this vitamin is produced chemically, bioproduction is a better option since it is more economical, requires less energy, produces less waste and can use renewable sources. In this study we investigated spent oil from the food and motor industries as alternative cheap carbon sources for the bioproduction of this vitamin. Commercial fungal strains namely; Eremothecium gossypii ATCC 10895, Eremothecium gossypii CBS 109.51, Eremothecium ashbyi CBS 206.58 and the yeast, Candida famata ATCC 20850, as well as a laboratory mutated Eremothecium gossypii EMS 30/1 strain were used. Statistical experimental design using a series of fractional factorial experimental designs was used to optimize the effect of yeast extract, peptone, malt extract, K2HPO4 and MgSO4.7H2O to supplement the used oils for optimum riboflavin production. Response surface methodology based on central composite experimental designs was then applied and together with the point predictions made, production media for both substrates were further optimized. The optimized conditions were then tested with laboratory experiments. Results showed that mutant E. gossypii EMS 30/1 produced the most riboflavin in spent motor oil (20.45 mg.l-1) while Candida famata ATCC 20850 produced the highest concentration (16.99 mg.l-1) in spent vegetable oil. With these strains and using the experimental designs from the fractional factorial experiments, supplemented spent motor and spent vegetable oils produced 66.27 mg.l-1 and 72.50 mg.l-1 riboflavin, respectively. The central composite optimization results showed that 0.18 g.l-1 and 0.45 g.l-1 K2HPO4 and 12.5 g.l-1 malt extract increased the production to 91.88 mg.l-1 and 78.68 mg.l-1 in spent vegetable oil and motor oil respectively. A point prediction from the response surface methodology was used to validate these and it was found that 103.59 mg.l-1 riboflavin was produced by mutant E. gossypii EMS 30/1 using 2.5 g.l-1 yeast extract, 0.5 g.l-1 peptone, 12.5 g.l-1 malt extract, 0.18 g.l-1 K2HPO4 and 0.3 g.l-1 MgSO4.7H2O. After optimizing K2HPO4 in a one-factor-at-a-time experiment, 82.75 mg.l-1 riboflavin was produced by C. famataon v SVO using 6.5 g.l-1 peptone, 12.5 g.l-1 malt extract 0.15 g.l-1 K2HPO4 and 1.75 g.l-1 MgSO4.7H2O. This is a 5.08 and 4.87 fold increase respectively when compared to spent oil prior to optimization. This shows that spent motor oil and mutant E. gossypii produces 103.59 mg.l-1 riboflavin while spent vegetable oil and C. famata produces 82.75 mg.l-1 riboflavin. Hence, E. gossypii can be used to generate riboflavin using spent motor oil and C. famata, using spent vegetable oil.

When hooliganism and the socialist city melt into one
Authors: Van der Hoeven Frank , Ivković Milena
Published: August 2021

In the Western Balkans, one can still find many city enlargements produced in the era of socialist Yugoslavia. There is a renewed interest by architectural historians and critics in Yugoslavia's architectural production between 1948 and 1980. However, and more remarkably, we find the images of the former socialist urban utopias back in recent music videos, especially rap videos, where it serves as the backdrop to an unusual mix of violence, drugs, sex, religion, and dance. Somehow the raw beauty of the Brutalism in Novi Beograd and the Modernism of Split 3 crosses over from its socialist ideological origins to contemporary youth culture in unexpected ways. The built environment from the time of Tito gets a different meaning altogether. We do not try to explain HOW or WHY this has happened. This article aims to raise the awareness THAT this happens, and we do so with pictorial means.
Microdistrict Solnechnyi: An urban design manifesto of the Siberian city
Authors: Kozlov Valery , Malko Anastasia , Kozlova Lyudmila
Published: August 2021

The article touches upon the questions of the evolution and potential for the development of urban fabric in the case study of the Solnechnyi microdistrict in Irkutsk. The methods for structural analysis of the potential for the neighborhood development are applied on the scale of the microdistrict and housing typology. It serves as a basis for modeling and adaptation of the existing housing to a change in the internal and external conditions of development. The proposed adaptation methods for the development allow to enhance our insight into the spatial potential of the structure and identity of the microdistrict, as well as into improving the comfort of housing and revitalizing the living space. When elaborating design and regulatory strategies for the development of large scale housing estates, it is advisable to use the tools of spatial and planning adaptation in the existing morphotypes.

Update Cheryomushki: perspectives for future housing
Authors: Engel Barbara
Published: August 2021

The shortage of residential space in many urban areas and the question about how this can be alleviated leads to the existing large residential housing estates, which are of great significance when it comes to providing living space for broad sections of the population in the future. Large housing estates potentially have a valuable role to play in providing housing – the dwellings there are highly adaptable, making them suitable for designing a living environment with few barriers, and they also have a high proportion of open spaces. In order to transform prefabricated dwelling areas into attractive neighborhoods and wanted housing not only the existing urban fabric have to be renovated and new types of dwelling integreated but as well the open spaces shall be improved..

CURRICULUM CONCEPT AT THE LEVEL OF EDUCATION UNIT
Authors: Saputra Aidil
Published: August 2021

The education unit level curriculum (KTSP) is the latest curriculum in Indonesia that is recommended to be used as a reference by curriculum developers at the education unit level. KTSP is a curriculum oriented towards the achievement of co-existence, therefore this curriculum is an improvement of the curriculum based on co-existence. The Education Unit Level Curriculum (KTSP) which was implemented gradually starting in 2006 gives teachers and schools (Educational Unit Level Institutions) the flexibility to develop it. Teachers and schools are given the freedom to create by relying on content standards, graduation standards, and curriculum preparation guidelines set by the government (c.q. National Standards Agency for Education). Curriculum Level Education Unit, born from the spirit of regional autonomy, where education affairs are not all central responsibility, but partly the responsibility of the region, therefore judging by the pattern or model of development KTSP is one of the models of curriculum that is desentralistic. The nature of KTSP itself includes the understanding, purpose, basis or foundation of development, principles of development and components of KTSP.
HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGE CLASSIFICATION USING RESIDUAL 2D AND 3D CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK JOINT ATTENTION MODEL
Authors: Yuan Q. , Ang Y. , Shafri H. Z. M.
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Hyperspectral image classification (HSIC) is a challenging task in remote sensing data analysis, which has been applied in many domains for better identification and inspection of the earth surface by extracting spectral and spatial information. The combination of abundant spectral features and accurate spatial information can improve classification accuracy. However, many traditional methods are based on handcrafted features, which brings difficulties for multi-classification tasks due to spectral intra-class heterogeneity and similarity of inter-class. The deep learning algorithm, especially the convolutional neural network (CNN), has been perceived promising feature extractor and classification for processing hyperspectral remote sensing images. Although 2D CNN can extract spatial features, the specific spectral properties are not used effectively. While 3D CNN has the capability for them, but the computational burden increases as stacking layers. To address these issues, we propose a novel HSIC framework based on the residual CNN network by integrating the advantage of 2D and 3D CNN. First, 3D convolutions focus on extracting spectral features with feature recalibration and refinement by channel attention mechanism. The 2D depth-wise separable convolution approach with different size kernels concentrates on obtaining multi-scale spatial features and reducing model parameters. Furthermore, the residual structure optimizes the back-propagation for network training. The results and analysis of extensive HSIC experiments show that the proposed residual 2D-3D CNN network can effectively extract spectral and spatial features and improve classification accuracy.
