Introduction: Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) is key in the control of COVID-19 pandemic and one of the pillars considered in the WHO COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan 2020. We conducted an Intra-Action Review (IAR) of IPC response efforts to COVID-19 pandemic in Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh to identify best practices, challenges, and recommendations for improvement of the current and future responses.Methods: Two meetings were conducted with a total of 54 participants purposively selected from different organizations and agencies that had been involved in frontline implementation of IPC in Cox’s Bazar district. We used the IPC trigger questions from the WHO country COVID-19 IAR: trigger question database to guide the discussions. Meetings notes and transcripts were analysed manually using content analysis and results presented in text and quotes.Results: Best practices included: assessments, response plan, working group, trainings, early case identification and isolation, hand hygiene in HFs, monitoring and feedback, general masking in HFs, supportive supervision, design, infrastructure and environmental controls in Severe Acute Respiratory Infection Isolation and Treatment Centres (SARI ITCs) and HFs and waste management. Challenges included: frequent breakdown of incinerators, limited PPE supply, inconsistent adherence to IPC, lack of working uniforms and lack of culture- and gender adapted work uniforms and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Recommendations were: institutionalization of IPC, establishment of IPC monitoring mechanisms in all HCFs, strengthening IPC education and training and public health and social measures in communities. Conclusion: IPC monitoring and continuous training provides critical support in promoting consistent and adaptive IPC implementation. Response to pandemic crisis combined with concurrent emergencies, like a protracted displacement with many, diverse actors, can only be successful with highly coordinated planning, leadership, resource mobilization and close supervision.

Published: August 2022

Introduction. The prevalence of bacterial vaginosis (BV) in the population ranges from 12 to 80% and depends on the cohort of examined women. Of the total confirmed cases, 37-40% are pregnant women.

Aim. To assess the effectiveness of the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV) in pregnant women.

Materials and methods. The study included 43 women at 22 to 30 weeks' gestation, divided into two groups: the treatment group consisted of 30 pregnant women diagnosed with BV, the control group comprised 13 pregnant women with normal vaginal microbiocenosis. To determine the antimicrobial activity of vaginal epithelium, samples of vaginal discharge were examined. The treatment was carried out using clindamycin according to the following regimen: 100 mg intravaginally per day at bedtime for 3 days.

Results. The study results showed that the highest activity of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) was found in the group of healthy pregnant women, which accounted for 79.1%. In pregnant women with BV, the level of antimicrobial activity significantly decreased as compared with the group of healthy pregnant women as the severity of the disease increased, amounting to 44.5% in women with mild BV, 36.4% in women with moderate BV and 33.6% in women with severe BV. The level of antimicrobial activity in the group of pregnant women with BV, who received treatment with clindamycin significantly increased by almost two times from the baseline values and amounted to 86.1% in women with mild BV, 78.5% in women with moderate BV and 76.9% in women with severe BV.

Conclusion. The production of endogenous antibiotics, AMP, provides adequate protection against infectious agents. After a  course of therapy with clindamycin 100 mg intravaginally at bedtime for 3 days, the AMP level normalized 2 weeks after treatment.

Vascular tumors often localized in the region of head and neck. Intraosseous hemangiomas localized mainly in the vertebrae and in the skull bones, but they are rarely found in the temporal bone. More often, intratemporal hemangiomas are localized in the internal auditory canal or in the area of the geniculate ganglion and Scarpas ganglion, due to the abundant blood supply of these areas. In other areas of the temporal bone, hemangioma is extremely rare. The symptoms depend on the localization and  size of the tumor. The main clinical manifestations of the disease: facial nerve palsy, hemifacial spasm, cochleovestibular symptoms. The data of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are non-specific. Angiography is recommended to identify the anatomical features of the vessels like aberrant internal carotid artery, high jugular bulb), the blood supply of the tumor and the possibility of embolization, which significantly reduces the risk of bleeding and damage to important anatomical structures of the temporal bone during surgery. Differential diagnosis is carried out with many diseases of the temporal bone: cholesteatoma, glomus tumor, shwannoma of the VII and VIII cranial nerves, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, rhabdomyosarcoma, etc. Surgical treatment is the method of choice and allows to completely resect the tumor. The article presents a  clinical case of intratemporal hemangioma in a patient with a long term symptom of hearing loss.

Introduction. The use of mathematical modeling methods in clinical practice will make it possible to identify the pathogenetic forms of dorsopathies and thus reasonably use the concept of targeted treatment in the management of patients of this category.

Aim. To evaluate the possibilities of finite element segmental analysis of the cervical spine for personalized treatment and prediction of the course of dorsopathies.

Material and methods. Based on the combined data of computed and magnetic resonance imaging of the patient (female, born in 1951), a model of the C5 – C7 segment was generated, including: vertebrae C5, C6, C7, IVD, anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments, two pairs of facet joints, spinal cord, nuchal ligament. Computer modeling and finite element method were used to  analyze the stress-strain state of the cervical spine of a patient with degenerative-dystrophic changes in the C2 – C7 segments. In the Abaqus/CAE 6.14 software, finite element analysis of the C5 – C7 stress-strain state was carried out in the state of flexion, rotation and compression. The data obtained during compression were compared with previous experiments in silico and in vitro for the norm.

Results. For each state, stress and displacement diagrams, load-displacement curves, stress profiles in the MPD were obtained. The axial mobility of the segment under compressive load is two times lower compared to the norm under the same boundary conditions and material models. The degree of involvement of the spinal cord in conflicts with the surrounding anatomical structures was studied. When the model was rotated to the right, conflicts were observed between the spinal cord roots and the bone structures of the vertebrae in the foraminal zones, as well as at the level of the C5 – C6 and C6 – C7 discs with the left posterolateral surfaces of the fibrous rings. When the model was turned to the left, conflicts of the spinal cord were observed in all foraminal zones, as well as at the level of the C6 – C7 disc with the left posterolateral surface of the fibrous rings. Based on the data on stresses in the studied segment, further development of dorsopathies and degenerative changes in the cervical spine was predicted.

Conclusions. The use of finite element segmental analysis of the cervical spine creates objective prerequisites for the formation of a combined personalized treatment and prediction of the course of dorsopathies.

Introduction. In modern systematic reviews, there is a point of view that CYP2C19 polymorphism affects the results of treatment of peptic ulcer, erosive esophagitis and eradication of Helicobacter pylori.

Оbjective. To evaluate the effect of CYP2C19 polymorphism on the effectiveness of treatment with rabeprazole at a dose of 20 mg once a day in patients with GERD during 2 and 4 weeks of treatment.

Materials and methods. In total, the study included 75 patients with GERD (36 men and 39 women, mean age 41.7 ± 1.5 years). A clinical examination with the completion of standard questionnaires took place during three visits: before the start of treatment, after 2 and after 4 weeks of therapy. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed in all patients before treatment and in patients with esophagitis after 4 weeks of therapy. All patients received rabeprazole at a dose of 20 mg once a day. Genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP2C19 metabolizer genes was carried out by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Ultrarapid, rapid, normal, intermediate and poor CYP2C19 metabolizers have been isolated.

Results. Of the 75 patients examined, 8.0% of patients were ultrarapid metabolizers, 30.7% of people were rapid, 49.3% of individuals were normal, 10.7% of persons were intermediate, and 1.3% of patients were poor CYP2C19 metabolizers. Response after 4 weeks of treatment with rabeprazole 20 mg once daily was 94.4% for NERD and 90.5% for erosive esophagitis. In ultrarapid and rapid metabolizers of CYP2C19, a complete response to rabeprazole therapy was registered in 81.3% of NERD patients and in 84.6% of patients with erosive esophagitis.

Conclusion. Based on the results of the study, we obtained high efficacy of Razo® at a dose of 20 mg 1 time per day for the treatment of GERD in a group of patients with a predominance of rapid and normal metabolizers of CYP2C19.

Published: August 2022

Financial investments in apple cultivation in Kashmir valley are increasingly recognized as key drivers of economic growth and employment creation. This paper presents a comprehensive economic analysis across physiographic divisions using precise economic indices that include cost-benefit analysis, project evaluation method and other socio-economic determinants. It relies on a primary survey of 866 farm-households selected across four physiographic divisions of the Kashmir valley viz- valley floor, karewas, foothills and side valleys. Results reveal that the karewas fetch the highest returns from an investment owing to its ideal geographical conditions. On contrary, the non-karewas belt was found to be trailing in one or more economic indices although the financial feasibility of investment in apple cultivation was still found satisfactory. The study affirms that agricultural land-use decisions at the micro-scale should be determined by the site-specific attributes and that economic indices are largely dictated by physical characteristics of land itself. While demonstrating the utility of land-use decisions in light of geographical factors, our results can assist both farmers and policy-makers to design a more adapted land use strategy for fostering financial investments in apple cultivation in the valley.
GURU NATIF DALAM PENGEMBANGAN KOMPETENSI ANTAR BUDAYA DALAM PENGAJARAN BAHASA PERANCIS, HARUSKAH?
Authors:   SMAN 5 Malang, Imtikhanah Rahmah
Published: August 2022

Dalam pengajaran bahasa asing, khususnya bahasa Perancis, peserta didik tidak hanya membutuhkan pengetahuan dan kemampuan linguistik semata. Akan tetapi mereka juga harus memiliki kemampuan untuk menggunakan bahasa tersebut dalam situasi sosial dan budaya target. Sehingga pengembangan kompetensi antarbudaya dirasa sangat penting keberadaannya. Hal ini sudah pasti berakibat pada meluasnya tugas guru bahasa asing. Sementara itu, tidak semua guru siap menghadapinya, terutama bagi guru non-natif dengan latar belakang budaya target yang terbatas. Penelitian ini berfokus pada permasalahan "mana yang lebih menguntungkan dalam pengajaran bahasa perancis ? guru natif dengan semua pengetahuan mereka tentang budaya target, atau guru non-natif yang memiliki kesadaran kuat dalam perbandingan multikultural, dengan anggapan bahwa guru non-natif dan peserta didik berada dalam posisi yang sama sebagai "orang asing". Penelitian ini didasarkan pada pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan menggunakan tiga alat berbeda dalam pengumpulan data, yaitu kuesioner, observasi, dan wawancara. Penelitian ini dilakukan di dua lokasi berbeda, yaitu CAREL (Centre Audiovisuel de Royan pour l’étude des Langues) di Royan, Perancis dan beberapa SMA di Indonesia.

The potentials of the electronic states of RbXY4 molecules, XY4 = CF4, CH4, SiF4 and SiH4, correlating with the ground 5s 2S1/2 and excited 5p 2P1/2, 3/2 states of the Rb atom are studied using the methods of ab initio quantum chemistry. The calculations are performed by the SCF method of the full active space of orbitals, taking into account dynamic electronic correlations and spin-orbital interaction. It is established that the character of the interaction in the A and A' states, correlating respectively with the lower and upper states of the Rb 5p 2P1/2, 3/2 doublet and corresponding to the perpendicular orientation of the Rb p-orbital relative to the Rb–X axis, differ significantly (attraction or repulsion) for different XY4 molecules, which is explained by the difference in the charge distribution in the XY4 molecules. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the calculation results for RbXY4 molecules, similar calculations are performed for the diatomic RbAr molecule using different basis sets. It is found that, as compared with the A and A' states, the potential of the repulsive B state, which correlates with the upper state of the doublet and corresponds to the orientation of the Rb p-orbital along the Rb–X axis, is significantly more sensitive to the size of the basis set which is due to the accuracy of accounting for the configuration interaction with states that correlate with the Rb(6s 2S1/2) and Rb(4d 2D3/2, 5/2) states and other states of the Rb atom lying above Rb(5p 2P1/2, 3/2).

With the coherent interaction of a sequence of extremely short light pulses with a resonant medium (when the duration of the pulses and the delays between them are shorter than the relaxation times of the population difference T1 and polarization T2 of the medium), it is possible to create spatial electromagnetically induced gratings (EMIG) of polarization and population difference in the medium, as well as their ultrafast control. The dynamics of such gratings is of interest in connection with the possibility of ultrafast control over the properties of a medium at times of the order of the pulse duration and their influence on the stability of generation of extremely short pulses in a laser with a short linear cavity. In this paper, based on the numerical solution of the system of Maxwell-Bloch equations, an unusual and interesting possibility of the appearance of narrow and alternating sections in the medium is shown and studied in detail, in which harmonic polarization waves of the medium are formed, propagating in opposite directions relative to neighboring sections. This situation occurs when two extremely short attosecond pulses collide in a two-level resonant medium.
Plant Parasitic Nematodes in Agricultural Ecosystem of Indonesia
Authors: Chaerani Chaerani
Published: August 2022

The plant-parasitic nematode (PPN) is often not recognized as important limiting crop production in Indonesia. This is largely caused by non-specific and non-dramatic above-ground plant disease symptoms, their microscopic nature, and partly caused by inadequate demonstration of the economic importance of this hidden pathogen. However, change in agricultural practices to meet the ever-increasing food demand along with global climate change may increase the risk of PPNs on crop productivity in the future. This paper reviews PPN inventory in Indonesia during the last three decades. Thirty-three genera of PPNs were found to associate with 25 host plants. Some genera were present at the densities that are considered as damaging levels in other countries. Results among surveys are difficult to compare because of differences in crop cultivar surveyed, cultivation practices, sampling unit and method, and nematode extraction techniques. Lack of field supporting data did not permit a valid assessment of nematode risk on a particular crop. The first record of several quarantined species has been reported, but not all of them have been validated molecularly. Challenges and opportunities to improve the future field survey are presented in this paper.
A Second Look at a Mathematical Formulation of the Effectiveness of “Separation of Duties” as a Preventive Control Activity
Authors: Knisley Robert J. , Powell Dwayne , Stern Matthew T.
Published: August 2022

Barra, Savage, and Im (2020) provide a mathematical model showing separation of duties (SOD) increases fraud, contradicting widespread and long-held beliefs. This paper argues that Barra et al.'s (2020) controversial conclusion relies on unrealistic assumptions. In particular, we object to the assumption that any randomly formed collusion group of the right size can commit fraud. Instead, we argue that a group can only commit fraud if it controls the duties of authorization, record-keeping, and custody of assets. In addition, we argue that assigning equal probabilities to outcomes assumes away the very feature of SOD that decreases fraud risk; namely, SOD adds a point of failure by requiring the fraudster to recruit other employees. We nevertheless show that SOD can increase fraud risk when its implementation requires hiring many new employees. However, other controls can be combined synergistically with SOD to restore its fraud-decreasing ability.

The misuse and overuse of antibiotics within poultry sector of the animal agriculture threatens public health due to its aftermath effect arising from the release of resistant pathogens to the environment. This study investigated the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility status of bacterial species isolated from litter of selected poultry farms within Idi Ayunre, a poultry-dense community in Oyo State. Poultry droppings (5 g) was collected each from six (6) randomly selected farms and bacteria isolated using Brain Heart Infusion agar (BHI), MacConkey agar (MCA), Eosin methylene blue agar (EMB) and Salmonella Shigella agar (SSA) media respectively via pour plate technique. Bacterial isolates were identified via morphological and biochemical tests and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern determined via Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method using multi-disc antibiotics. Farm A had highest Total Heterotrophic Count (THC, 8.43 Log10CFU/mL) and Total Enterobacteriaceae Count (TEC, 6.32 Log10CFU/mL). However, Farm C had lowest THC and TEC (7.18 Log10CFU/mL and 4.48 Log10CFU/mL respectively), while Farm B had lowest Total Coliform Count (TCC, 4.70 Log10CFU/mL) with the highest being Farm D (6.08 Log10CFU/mL). Also Farm D had the highest (8.15 Log10CFU/mL) Salmonella-Shigella Count (SSC) with Farm E having the lowest (4.85 Log10CFU/mL). Isolates obtained were identified as Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus sp., Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp, Klebsiella sp., Escherichia coli, Citrobacter sp., Salmonella sp., Enterobacter sp. and Shigella sp. Across the farms, S. aureus, Bacillus sp. and E. coli were isolated, while Shigella sp. was isolated only from Farm D. The bacteria isolates were found to be multidrug resistant towards the tested antibiotics, showing susceptibility only to gentamicin and ofloxacin. This study therefore showed that birds’ droppings from poultry farms in Idi Ayunre community serve as carrier of multidrug resistant pathogens. Hence, the need for a cautious use of antibiotics among Idi Ayunre poultry farmers.

Published: August 2022

This study intended to formulate a causal model on job performance among the employees of cooperatives in the Davao region influenced by the three exogenous variables, transformational leadership, organizational culture, and knowledge management. The study employed descriptive – correlational technique and structural equation modeling. 400 respondents from the different cooperatives in the Davao region were selected through random and stratified sampling. The study's findings reveal that the three exogenous variables were interrelated and directly influenced job performance, as shown by the model modifications and very high descriptive rating. Four hypothesized models were derived, and model modification four was the best fit model for job performance. The best fit model for job performance was presented the retained indicators of the three exogenous variables, transformational leadership's perceived individualized influence, inspirational motivation measures, and intellectual stimulation. Knowledge management's knowledge sharing and knowledge creation and organizational culture's organizational leadership, management of employees, and organizational glue. The study, therefore, presents the best model for job performance to be utilized as a basis among cooperatives in the Davao region to formulate policies that would enhance their operation in improving job performance and open doors for more research endeavors regarding the subject.

Os biopolímeros, quando comparados aos polímeros sintéticos, apresentam algumas vantagens, como estruturas bem definidas e de maior complexidade, degradabilidade e reciclabilidade, que determinam vantagens em seu uso. Seu emprego industrial é amplo e compreende materiais médicos, embalagens, cosméticos, aditivos para alimentos, tecidos, produtos para tratamento de água, plásticos de emprego industrial, absorventes, biossensores e dispositivos de armazenamento de dados. Neste cenário, diversos biopolímeros vêm sendo aplicados na medicina no preparo de implantes para reparo e substituição de ossos, olhos, orelhas, articulações de joelhos e quadril e, com destaque, para a confecção de implantes cardiovasculares como stents e valvas cardíacas. Dentre os diversos biopolímeros existentes, os polímeros biodegradáveis de poliésteres estão entre os mais utilizados na confecção de aparatos médicos, dentre os quais, destacam-se os derivados de Ácido poliláctico (PLA), Ácido Poliláctico-co-glicólico Poli-4-hidroxibutirato (P4HB), os quais, devidas as suas características de mecânicas e de biocompatibilidade e permitem um alto grau de modificações e seletividade para a produção de artigos médicos. Ainda, com os avanços científicos das últimas décadas, blendas diversas e modificações em sua estrutura/composição contornaram seus principais atributos adversos como a hidrofobicidade e a baixa adesão celular. Assim sendo, um volume substancial de pesquisas científicas vem sendo realizado para conferir aos poliésteres características específicas e distintas daquelas já comercialmente disponíveis. Esta revisão objetivou a produção, biocompatibilidade e na utilização de polímeros biodegradáveis preparados a partir de Ácido Polilático (PLA) e Poli-4-hidroxibutirato (P4HB), assim como em suas blendas com outros polímeros, na manufatura de stents e de substitutos para valvas cardíacas.

This paper provides a recipe for Kai-dness, as designed by staff and students from Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington’s Faculty of Architecture and Design Innovation. It sets out both the ingredients and the method for Kai-dness. It celebrates the associated lessons learned and the agents of change who combined as ‘the Kai-dness Crew’ to facilitate conversation and collaboration through commensality, the sharing of kai. The plate this was served upon was the fifth Social Movements, Resistance, and Social Change Conference in November 2020. This paper suggests that there is power in the sharing of kai to aid the social transitions required in moving towards more positive futures.

Brooke Fiafia reflects on her experiences attending the social movements conference with a group of fierce and loving women. While critiquing conference spaces, she talks about the aroha that drew her to this particular conference. Aroha, as she writes, is necessary for our shared humanity. It is what was activated in the creation of the conference and what was explored in conference conversations and sharings about transformation, connection, relationship, and showing up as our authentic selves.
Alpha-fetoprotein: Immunomodulation in autoimmune diseases during pregnancy and puerperium stages
Authors: Gerald J. Mizejewski
Published: August 2022

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) has long been associated with regulation and modulation of the immune system in a variety of mammals. In the last several decades, AFP has been linked to autoimmune diseases (ADs) during both pregnancy and in non-gestational disorders via an immunomodulatory function. The course of ADs are highly influenced by soluble factors such as cytokines, chemokines, interleukins, hormones, kinins, growth factors, proteins such as AFP, and various T-cells generated from the immune response. Such factors appear to serve as protective or ameliorating agents during the induction effector stages of the immune response. Immunomodulatory activities of AFP are known to affect: 1) induction of T-cell suppressor activity; 2) down-regulating dendritic-like cell antigen expression; and 3) impairing the function of macrophages and T-cells. Some factors may even be involved in blocking the rejection of the embryo/fetus as an allograft in the mother at the initiation of pregnancy. Thus, the present report reviews the immunomodulation function of AFP during the course of autoimmune disease utilizing AD disorders such as: myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune liver disorders, diabetes, thyroiditis, and others.
