Surface waters are an unappreciated reservoir of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Poor sanitation brings different species of environmental bacteria into contact, facilitating horizontal gene transfer. To investigate the role of surface waters as potential reservoirs of AMR, we studied the point prevalence of fecal contamination, AMR genes, and Enterobacteriaceae in an urban lake and rural river system in Northeast Brazil in comparison with a lake and sewer system in Northeast Ohio in the United States. Surface water samples were examined for evidence of human fecal contamination using microbial source tracking and screened for plasmid-mediated fluoroquinolone resistance and carbapenemase genes. Enterobacteriaceae were detected using selective agar followed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing and detection of AMR genes by microarray, and classified by repetitive sequence–based polymerase chain reaction and multilocus sequence typing. Concentrations of human fecal bacteria in the Brazilian urban lake and sewage in Northeast Ohio were similarly high. Filtered water samples from the Brazilian urban lake, however, showed the presence of blaOXA-48, blaKPC, blaVIM-2, qnrS, and aac(6′)-lb-cr, whereas only blaVIM-2 was identified in raw sewage from Northeast Ohio. From the Brazilian urban lake, 85% of the Enterobacteriaceae (n = 40) cultured were resistant to at least one clinically important antibiotic, including ST131 Escherichia coli harboring the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase CTX-M. Although two isolates demonstrated polymyxin resistance, mcr-1/2 was not detected. Our findings indicate that surface waters in an urban Brazilian site can serve as an environmental reservoir of AMR and that improving wastewater treatment and sanitation generally may ameliorate AMR dissemination.

Published: September 2023

Guinea worm (GW) disease (or dracunculiasis) is currently transmitted among dogs in Chad, which presents risks for the human population. We studied how interventions implemented at different levels might reduce the spread of GW disease (geographically and over time) and what levels of interventions might accelerate elimination. We built a multiple-water-source agent-based simulation model to analyze the disease transmission among dogs in Chad, as well as in geographic district clusters, and validated it using local infection data. We considered two interventions: 1) tethering, where infected dogs are kept on a leash during periods of infectivity, and 2) Abate®, under which the water source is treated to reduce infectivity. Our results showed that elimination (0 dog infections) is most likely achieved within 5 years with extremely high levels of tethering (95%) and Abate (90%), when intervention levels are uniform across district clusters. We used an optimization model to determine an improved strategy, with intervention levels which minimize the number of dogs newly infected in the 6th year, under limitations on intervention levels across clusters; the number of dogs infected after 5 years of intervention could be reduced by approximately 220 dogs with an optimized strategy. Finally, we presented strategies that consider fairness based on intervention resource levels and outcomes. Increased tethering and Abate resources above historical levels are needed to achieve the target of GW disease elimination; optimization methods can inform how best to target limited resources and reach elimination faster.

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH) is a frequent condition that, if left untreated, can lead to neurological disability and death. We assessed the prevalence of NH and associated neonatal and maternal risk factors in 362 mothers and 365 newborns in a semi-rural area of the Democratic Republic of Congo. In addition, we explored the knowledge and practices of mothers regarding this condition. We collected demographic data, anthropometric data, and obstetric and medical anamneses. We examined newborns at birth and at 24, 48, and 72 hours and measured bilirubin at birth in umbilical cord and capillary blood and thereafter in capillary blood. Hemoglobin, hematocrit, ABO group, Rhesus factor, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, Hemoglobin S (HbS), and malaria were assessed in mothers and newborns. Among 296 newborns (all time points available), 5.7% developed NH (95% CI: 3.4–9.0) between 24 and 72 hours according to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) UK guidelines. There was a significantly higher risk in newborns with G6PD deficiency (homo- and hemizygous adjusted Odd Ratio [aOR]: 21.0, 95% CI: 4.1–105.9), preterm births (aOR: 6.1, 95% CI: 1.4–26.9), newborns with excessive birth weight loss (aOR: 5.8, 95% CI: 1.4–23.2), and hyperbilirubinemia at birth (aOR: 14.8, 95% CI: 2.7–79.6). Newborns with feto-maternal ABO incompatibility and G6PD deficiency had significantly higher bilirubin at birth than others. More than 60% of mothers had adequate knowledge of NH, but compliance with phototherapy in the absence of symptoms was low. Although risk factors for NH are common in this area, prevalence was not high, suggesting a need for better case definition. Implementation of point-of-care devices for diagnosis and awareness programs on risk prevention could help reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality associated with hyperbilirubinemia in these areas.

Abstract

Neurodegeneration is an important finding of various neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease. MAP2 and Rbfox3/NeuN genes are also two important neuronal markers. In this study, our aim is to investigate the neuroprotective effect of Cistus laurifolius L. extract in neurodegeneration caused by H2O2 treatment in differentiated SH-SY5Y (f-SH-SY5Y) cells.

In the study, the effects of H2O2 (62.5-1000µM) and Cistus laurifolius (15.62-1000mg/ml) doses on cell viability were determined by the MTT method. The effect of Cistus laurifolius in d-SH-SY5Y cells followed by H2O2 treatment on cell viability was determined by the MTT test. The effect of the extract on MAP2 and Rbfox3/NeuN gene expressions in 24-hour periods was evaluated by the RT-qPCR method.

According to our findings, Cistus laurifolius extract significantly reduced cell viability in SH-SY5Y cells at 24 h and 48 h (p
Exploring Improvement Possibility of Undergraduate Liberal Arts Education Inspired by European Liberal Arts and Science Model
Authors: Min Chungi
Published: September 2023

In order to improve liberal arts education in Korean universities, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of European Liberal Arts & Science [LAS] programs. This is because LAS in Europe reflects the orientation of modern liberal arts education such as universal, academic, and contemporary property, and can supplement the limitations of the Korean liberal arts curriculum, which is heavily influenced by sub-disciplines. The purpose of this paper is to explore the implications of the European University College [UC]s’ Liberal Arts & Science model for undergraduate liberal arts education in Korean universities. To this end, text data of three European UCs and Amsterdam UC [AUC] were collected, preprocessed, and then analyzed using techniques such as frequency analysis, topic modeling, and a semantic network. By comparing the results of the frequency analysis, 14 common keywords were extracted and classified into universal (social, human, public, development), academic (research, science, knowledge, skills, analysis), and contemporary (international, global, contemporary, data, economic) orientation. In the structure of the semantic network, some keywords were assigned in several topics. As a result of analyzing 5 keywords of 8 topics in the course titled Data of AUC LAS, 18 of 226 courses included an Introduction. 11 of them are introductory courses of convergence and 7 are theme-oriented courses, which is different from the cases in Korea, which are mostly focused on introductory courses in sub-disciplines. Based on the analysis of texts of AUC LAS, this paper proposes three things: the introduction of a coordinator system and convergence courses, the strengthening of the role of advisors, and the development of teaching-learning methods. The results of these discussions based on text data analysis can be used to improve the standards of liberal arts education in Korea or to reorganize liberal arts education at each university. They can also be used as a reference when developing and managing educational programs such as in institutions dedicated to liberal arts education, university colleges, and departments for self-designing curriculum at Korean universities.

Millets are grains that have long been used for their nutritional and therapeutic properties. Millets are mostly farmed in Asia and utilised as a food source. Millets are little grains that grow in warm conditions and are mem-bers of the grass family. Millets are resilient grains that can withstand a wide range of weather conditions. They supply nutrients necessary for the physiological functioning of the human body. Millets are classified into two types: Major Millets and Minor Millets, based on grain size. Millets contain protein, fat, carbs, and fibre, among other things. Millets are more nutritious than other high-quality grains. Millets were also high in phosphorus and iron. Millets have therapeutic properties due to the presence of tannins, polyphenols, phytosterols, and anthocy-anins, among other things. Millets are used to cure and prevent metabolic illnesses, and they also have antioxi-dant properties.

Published: September 2023

The current study evaluated the effect of different dietary plant soot supplementation levels on the intestinal health status of American eels (Anguilla rostrata) cultured in concrete tanks. Nine concrete fish tanks were randomly divided into three groups and fed the diets with plant soot (PS) supplementation levels at 0, 3 g/kg, and 5 g/kg, respectively. After a feeding trial for 60 days, the intestinal tissues were sampled to measure health status parameters. The D-lactate level and DAO activity in the serum of the PS5 group were significantly lower than those of the PS0 group (P <0.05). Compared with the PS0 group, the villi length of the intestine in both PS3 group and PS5 group increased significantly (P<0.05). The muscular thickness of the intestine of the PS5 group was significantly higher than the PS0 group (P<0.05). The microvillus density of the intestine of the American eel was increased obviously in the PS5 group. The intestinal microbiota composition of plant soot groups was beneficially regulated with certain probiotics’ higher relative abundances and some pathogenic bacteria’ lower relative abundance. In conclusion, dietary 5 g/kg plant soot supplementation could benefit the intestinal health of farmed American eels.

Authors:   Molecular Systematic laboratory, parasitology Department, Pasteur Institute of Iran, Tehran, Iran., Najafzadeh Narmin
Published: September 2023

Our study discusses the impact of different cropping practices on soil health indicator and crop yield. The combination of no fertilization and perennialization enhanced soil health indicators and crop yield compared to conventional tillage annual crop fallow. The results showed that excessive nitrogen fertilization increases soil bulk density, while perennialization with no fertilizer added improves it. Higher carbon content was recorded under corn cultivation, but higher carbon-to-nitrogen ratio was shown in perennial covers. The study highlights the benefits of adopting perennial crops without fertilization for soil health and suggests improved management practices for sustainable agriculture. Our finding is particularly significant as it suggests an alternative approach to farming that improve soil health while reducing the reliance on synthetic fertilizer. It provides valuable insights for farmers, policymakers, and researches enabling them to make informed decisions and implement practices that support both productivity and environmental stewardship, Overall, it underscores the importance of responsible fertilizer use and improved management practices for maintaining soil fertility and promoting sustainable agriculture system.

Authors: Farlis Fiko , Riski Tri Rachmat
Published: September 2023

The research was conducted in Padang, an earthquake- and tsunami-prone city in Indonesia. Researchers hypothesize that threats and potential catastrophes have altered the workforce's behavior. This study examines the condition of the workforce in terms of work stress and labor productivity. In addition, it is hypothesized that the intensity of earthquakes and disaster-prone conditions can impact labor productivity, particularly among coastal employees. This study includes the variables of age, wages, and geographic location of the workplace (location altitude and distance from the coast) to deepen the analysis. The research analysis unit is the Padang labor force, and the sample size is determined by the Krejcie and Morgan tables. The BPS classification contains 384 individuals from diverse employment categories. Probability Sampling with a proportionate stratified random sampling strategy and Area Sampling based on the BNPB evacuation map are the sampling methods used. Using STATA in conjunction with the three stage lease square (3SLS) derived from the reduced form equation. Based on the results of the reduced form equation, geographic location and age were found to have a significant negative effect on work stress. Location and wages have a positive impact on productivity, whereas age has a significant negative impact.

Produção do domínio III da proteína de envelope do vírus zika em Komagataella phaffii e avaliação em diagnóstico e como candidato vacinal
Authors:   , Prates John Willians Oliveira
Published: September 2023

O vírus Zika (ZIKV) representa uma ameaça à saúde humana global, pois pode causar a síndrome congênita do ZIKV e a síndrome de Guillain-Barré, doenças graves que levaram a Organização Mundial da Saúde declarar esse vírus como uma emergência em saúde pública de preocupação internacional em 2016. Ele é um vírus com genoma de RNA fita simples, senso positivo, o qual codifica três proteínas estruturais (C, prM/M e E) e sete proteínas não estruturais (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B e NS5), as quais são traduzidas durante o ciclo de vida viral. A proteína E está presente no envelope do ZIKV, e o seu domínio III (EDIII) é responsável principalmente pela ligação viral ao receptor na célula-alvo. Ele é descrito como um domínio antigênico e imunogênico, pois gera anticorpos altamente neutralizantes e muito específicos contra o ZIKV. Assim, o EDIII pode ser utilizado tanto para diagnóstico como para vacina. Atualmente não existe vacina disponível contra o ZIKV e os testes de diagnóstico enfrentam problemas de sensibilidade e especificidade, demandando esforços para encontrar novos candidatos para superar essas barreiras. Nesse contexo, o objetivo desse trabalho foi produzir o EDIII de ZIKV em levedura e avaliar o seu potencial para aplicações diagnósticas e desenvolvimento de vacina. Os resultados obtidos nesse trabalho demonstraram que o EDIII foi produzido eficientemente em Komagataella phaffii, e foi reconhecido por anticorpos contra ZIKV no ensaio de ELISA. Quando avaliado o seu potencial imunológico, induziu a produção de anticorpos neutralizantes em camundongos imunizados. O EDIII produzido nesse trabalho tem o potencial para aplicações diagnósticas e desenvolvimento de futuras vacinas contra o ZIKV. Palavras-chave: ZIKV. Komagataella phaffii. EDIII. Diagnóstico. Vacina.
