This study aimed to determine the prevalence of co-infection with malaria and intestinal parasites and assess its association with anemia in school-aged children from rural and urban settlements in Gabon. This cross-sectional study involved afebrile school children recruited at schools between May and June 2021. Blood and stool samples were collected from participants whose parents or legal guardians provided informed consent to participate in the study. Hemoglobin concentration (Hb) was measured using a HemoCue photometer (HemoCue 201, HemoCue, Angelholm, Sweden). Giemsa-stained blood films were examined to detect malaria parasites and any filarial infections, while the merthiolate-iodine concentration (MIC) method was used to identify intestinal parasitic infections (IPI). A total of four hundred and seventy (470) school-aged children were successfully enrolled in this study. The observed prevalence values were as follows: malaria infection at 69.6%, IPIs at 19.1%, filaria at 5.1%, Schistosoma infection at 15.0%, and anemia at 29.0%. Co-infections of malaria with IPIs, filaria, and Schistosoma were present in 12.3%, 4.7%, and 6.6% of the children, respectively. Malaria and filaria infections were associated with residing in Lastourville city (p < 0.05) and were also correlated with age (p < 0.05), whereas IPIs were associated with male gender and living in the city of Lastourville. Anemia was linked to malaria infection (p < 0.05) and was more prevalent among children living in rural areas. The findings of this study indicate that malaria, IPIs, and Schistosoma infections continue to pose a significant public health problem in the study area, even though only malaria infection appeared to be associated with anemia. Nevertheless, these results highlight the need for implementing control measures to reduce the prevalence of malaria, IPIs, filaria, and Schistosoma, particularly in Lastourville.

Authors: Porschen Marcel , Kuhnimhof Tobias
Published: December 2024

Availability and utilization of residential parking locations remain a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of urban planning and policy making. Thus, this study investigates questions about residential parking within National Travel Surveys (NTS) across 49 OECD-affiliated countries. The study used a layered framework, differentiating parking locations by on/off-street, public/private access, proximity to dwellings, and infrastructure type to analyze questions and response options. A document review revealed significant variability in the inclusion of residential parking questions, with only 24 of 49 evaluated countries conducting NTS and only 15 explicitly addressing residential parking locations, often via one question. While questions are often similar, the response options are often ambiguous, sometimes misleading, and vary significantly. Based on the results, we identified the following recommendations: (1) adopt and rephrase parking-related questions in new and existing NTS, (2) provide guidance to users on how certain response options are defined, (3) for a more comprehensive understanding of residential parking dynamics, include a question on availability and actual usage, (4) add “National Travel Survey” as a keyword in applicable surveys, and (5) provide easy access to documentation to facilitate data retrieval and international comparison.

Authors: Skylodimou Louisa , Lytoudi Paschalina , Metaxas Theodore
Published: December 2024

Air pollution in urban environments is a complex, multidimensional issue that significantly impacts public health and people’s well-being. Previous studies have tended to focus on general public awareness in metropolitan urban areas. The novelty of this study lies in examining whether perceptions regarding air pollution and the urban environment differ based on specific demographic characteristics such as age and dwelling place in a provincial city of Greece. Thus, a quantitative cross-sectional research approach was employed, resulting in the collection of 659 valid questionnaires from residents in the wider area of Volos city. To analyze the data, one-way ANOVA was applied to reveal differences in perceptions of air pollution and its effects on urban well-being. The results indicate that perceptions vary by age, particularly concerning the effects of air pollution on the natural environment. Participants acknowledge that air pollution levels differ across cities of various sizes and recognize the adverse effects of pollution on the overall well-being of urban areas. Furthermore, our analysis reveals significant differences in perceptions between urban and rural residents. Particularly, people living in the city tend to report higher awareness of air pollution levels compared to those in the countryside, highlighting the need for targeted interventions tailored to specific communities. Overall, this study underscores the importance of understanding demographic influences on perceptions of air quality, which can inform policymaking and public health initiatives aimed at improving air quality and mitigating health risks in urban settings.

Published: December 2024

The present study aimed to evaluate the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of different doses of an inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine against Omicron BA.2.2 infection in Beijing, China, 2022. Based on data from a previous cohabitation retrospective cohort of COVID-19 outbreak in Beijing, China, 2022, the cohabitating contacts of individuals with BA.2.2 infection were followed up. Using a log-binomial regression model in which the unvaccinated group as the control group, the risk ratios of different doses of inactivated vaccine in terms of preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection, symptoms of COVID-19, and pneumonia were calculated, and the protective effect of the vaccine was estimated. The Kruskal–Wallis rank-sum test was used to compare the effect of vaccination on the viral load of infected patients. From April to June 2022, a total of 2259 cohabiting close contacts of 1308 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection aged ≥3 years were included. Of the included close contacts, 737 (32.63%) were positive for SARS-CoV-2 during the isolation period: 140 (19.00%) were infected but asymptomatic, 525 (71.23%) had mild infection, and 72 (9.77%) had pneumonia. There were no cases of severe or critical infection or death. The VE of the primary in preventing BA.2.2 infection, symptoms, and pneumonia was 37.35% (95% CI: 24.00–48.35), 42.36% (95% CI: 28.41–53.60), and 48.35% (95% CI: −5.34–74.67), respectively. The VE of the booster shot in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection, symptoms, and pneumonia was 37.08% (95% CI: 24.29–47.70), 44.38% (95% CI: 31.45–54.87), and 61.46% (95% CI: 29.79–78.85), respectively. Six months after the booster vaccination, the VE of the booster in terms of preventing SARS-CoV-2 remained above 46%, and its VE in terms of the prevention of pneumonia remained above 72%. In the unvaccinated group, the Ct values of the N gene and ORFlab gene (represented by the median value and Q1 and Q3 in parentheses) were 26.45 (21.09, 31.61) and 28.06 (22.21, 32.06), respectively. There was no significant difference in the median value of either gene between the unvaccinated group, the partial group [25.81 (19.91, 31.78) and 26.98 (21.63, 31.17)], the primary group [28.79 (22.08, 32.34) and 29.30 (23.81, 33.86)], and the booster group [26.23 (21.66, 31.46) and 27.73 (23.38, 32.52)] (p > 0.05). Inactivated COVID-19 vaccines provided a certain level protection from infection and symptoms, very good protection against pneumonia, and it still has a modest protective effect at 6 months after vaccination. Booster doses are necessary to provide strongest protection. However, irrespective of their vaccination status, individuals with COVID-19 have a similar viral load.

Published: December 2024

Frequent algal blooms in lakes pose a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems. It is of great significance to quickly and accurately monitor the distribution of algae in lakes for the regulation of algal blooms. While remote sensing techniques and machine learning methods can be used in combination to identify algae and analyze their spatial and temporal distribution, these methods still face challenges in practical applications due to uncertainties in lake boundaries and imbalances between algae and non-algae. In order to overcome these difficulties, we studied the dynamic open water range of Ulansuhai Lake and used a non-equilibrium data processing method to identify its algae. We also performed a spatiotemporal analysis of the algal range over a long time series. The results show that (1) the spectral characteristics of Landsat 8 images are very suitable for algal identification based on remote sensing, especially in the random forest method, where the fourth band plays an important role. (2) Among various machine learning methods, the accuracy of the random forest method on the training set and validation set is more than 90%. This indicates that the random forest method is suitable for the long-term monitoring of algal blooms. This study provides scientific and technical support for the management of Ulansuhai Lake, which will be helpful in guiding future management and control work.

Authors: Liu Jinjiang , Xie Yonghua , Zhang Yu , Li Haoming
Published: December 2024

Vehicle flow detection and tracking are crucial components of intelligent transportation systems. However, traditional methods often struggle with challenges such as the poor detection of small objects and low efficiency when processing large-scale data. To address these issues, this paper proposes a vehicle flow detection and tracking method that integrates an improved YOLOv8n model with the ByteTrack algorithm. In the detection module, we introduce the innovative MSN-YOLO model, which combines the C2f_MLCA module, the Detect_SEAM module, and the NWD loss function to enhance feature fusion and improve cross-scale information processing. These enhancements significantly boost the model’s ability to detect small objects and handle complex backgrounds. In the tracking module, we incorporate the ByteTrack algorithm and train unique vehicle re-identification (Re-ID) features, ensuring robust multi-object tracking in complex environments and improving the stability and accuracy of vehicle flow tracking. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 62.8% at IoU = 0.50 and a Multiple Object Tracking Accuracy (MOTA) of 72.16% in real-time tracking. These improvements represent increases of 2.7% and 3.16%, respectively, compared to baseline algorithms. This method provides effective technical support for intelligent traffic management, traffic flow monitoring, and congestion prediction.

Published: December 2024

In order to improve the operational efficiency of a shared electric vehicle (SEV) system, this paper conducts integrated planning research from the aspects of locating and sizing SEV outlets, locating and sizing charging facilities, and operation scheduling by considering the carbon emission reduction and its benefits. Firstly, a multi-objective locating model was constructed with the optimization objectives of minimum outlet construction cost and user travel time cost and minimum carbon emissions from outlet construction and vehicle routing. Secondly, a charging demand simulation predictive model framework was designed. Finally, an SEV scheduling model with maximal operating income and minimal scheduling costs as optimization objectives was constructed considering the benefits of carbon emission reduction. By applying these models to the Chicago Sketch network and using a genetic algorithm to solve the models, it is concluded that the optimal outlet location solution considering carbon emission reduction will increase the outlet construction cost and user travel time cost. When the user loss rate is 40%, the initial number of vehicles in each outlet can make the operator’s daily income reach the maximum. The number of charging piles in each outlet is optimally configured according to 55% of the highest charging demand. Scheduling can make the distribution of charging demand more uniform and reduces the maximum charging demand by about 36.8% and the total number of charging piles by about 24.0%, at the same time, increases the average time utilization rate of charging piles at all outlets by about 15.6% and the user satisfaction rate by about 8.6%. Although scheduling increases the scheduling cost by about 3.8%, it can increase the total daily revenue of operators by 6.5%. Carbon reduction benefits can increase the total daily revenue of operators by 0.7%.

Published: December 2024

Tractors operate under varying and unpredictable conditions, making energy management strategies insufficient for maintaining system power dynamics, which often leads to reduced traction power and overall efficiency. To overcome this challenge, a fuzzy-following energy management strategy was developed. This approach utilizes fuzzy control based on energy following to optimize the tractor’s energy output, ensuring more stable power delivery. A target tractor model was constructed using CRUISE, and joint simulations were carried out via the CRUISE-Simulink interface. The results demonstrated that the fuzzy-following strategy stabilized the battery’s state of charge (SoC) and improved fuel economy. The strategy was implemented for controlling a hybrid tractor, and its effectiveness and stability were validated through drivetrain system tests and real vehicle trials under light load, plowing, and power harrowing conditions, successfully achieving power balance under these diverse operating scenarios. Comparative tests between the hybrid tractor using the fuzzy-following strategy and a powershift tractor revealed that the hybrid tractor exhibited superior plowing efficiency and fuel economy under plowing and power-harrowing conditions.

Authors: Ndayisenga Jean d'Amour , Laos Mbato Concilianus
Published: December 2024

Motivation in language learning is a critical area of study since motivation greatly impacts second language acquisition. Socio-Educational Model theory explains motivation to learn a second language in two main types: integrative and instrumental motivation. Many studies have explored motivation in language learning, but such studies are deficient in the case of Rwandan EFL learners. This study analyses the motivational types that inspire students during learning and investigates the motivation factors for EFL learning. This descriptive study, which involves a class from a Rwandan high school of Groupe Scolaire Nyamirama, uses both a qualitative and quantitative design. The information was gathered using open-ended questionnaires and closed-ended questionnaires. The results indicated that instrumental and integrative motivation significantly influences students’ EFL learning process. However, it showed that instrumental motivation was major in EFL learning. Additionally, according to the data, twelve motivational factors were identified from students and ten from teachers regarding teaching strategies and teacher-student interactions, all which impact students during the learning process. However, because motivational variables and motivational types rely on context, it is recommended that a study on this topic be conducted in a different setting.

O emprego da Patrulha Costeira da Polícia Militar do Paraná no mar territorial de acordo com o ordenamento jurídico
Authors: Rosa Cristiano Stocco
Published: December 2024

A República Federativa do Brasil é organizada de modo que o poder que emana do povo é exercido por seus representantes em diferentes órgãos que acabam sendo denominados como poderes. Compete então ao Poder Executivo a realização efetiva de ações que buscam alcançar os fins do Estado, entre eles a garantia dos Direitos Fundamentais. Destaca-se a segurança. Para tanto, organiza-se um sistema em que órgãos públicos policiais são convencionados pela própria Constituição Federal, nas três esferas de governo, para instrumentalização da garantia de segurança pública. Em comum, no que concerne às suas atribuições, distingue-se a busca pela preservação da ordem pública e a incolumidade das pessoas e de seu patrimônio. Ademais, cada órgão policial possui atribuições próprias nas particularidades do sistema policial brasileiro em que o ciclo de polícia é fragmentado levando em conta o cometimento do delito. Assim, ou a organização policial se funda no exercício da polícia administrativa ou opera no exercício da polícia judiciária. As Polícias Militares brasileiras detentoras dos maiores contingentes de agentes ocupam o relevo na segurança pública exercendo suas missões constitucionais na órbita da polícia administrativa. Já as Polícias Civis complementam o ciclo de polícia exercendo a polícia judiciária.  Ocorre, no entanto, que na esfera federal, a Polícia Federal com suas atribuições expressamente definidas no texto constitucional exerce os dois encargos - antes e pós delito. Uma de suas atribuições, a polícia marítima é o objeto de análise neste artigo, mormente no que discerne do emprego do policiamento ostensivo do tipo geral empreendido pela Polícia Militar.
The hidden meaning of the Odysseus’legend -Odysseus and the sirens mosaic of Cherchell
Authors: Ghouas Zahra
Published: December 2024

Throughout antiquity and beyond, the stories of the gods and the adventures of heroes have excited the imagination and nourished the memory of philosophers, poets and artists, this is how mythology and ancient legends become sources of inspiration, accompany history and interpret it in a different way.These stories came to life in artistic works and in particular mosaics that refer to a specific moment of a historical or mythical episode. A mosaic in Cherchell depicting an episode of Ulysses' journey; Ulysses and the Sirens, decorated the basin of a fountain found in a Roman villa and returns to a known Homeric scene.The story of Ulysses is that of a man who goes from war to peace, from hatred to love, from chaos to harmony, from exile to returning home; he goes from a bad life to a good life. It is therefore not only a magnificent epic, but it is the matrix of a thought rich in symbolism which answers the question of the meaning of life.
Characteristics of The Modern Utilization of Maqasid Al-Sharia (objectives of Sharia)
Authors: Lifa Miloud
Published: December 2024

This research, titled “Characteristics of The Modern Utilization of Maqasid Al-Sharia (objectives of Sharia)”, addresses a fundamental question: Can the modern maqasid theory be considered a reformist call to adhere to the spirit of Sharia, or is it a form of cultural camouflage aimed at altering Sharia and following personal desires? The study consists of two main sections. The first section elucidates the characteristics of modern maqasid theorization, while the second section presents and critiques models of how modernists manipulate textual sources under the pretext of applying maqasid Al-Sharia. The research yields several key findings, notably that modernists often cloak their arguments in maqasid terminology as a means of renewing religious discourse. Unfortunately, their renewal lacks rigorous methodological controls and objective criteria, leading them to impose imaginary maqasid on definitive textual sources, thereby undermining established legal views in service of modernity and its objectives

The state cannot achieve full protection for this digital environment, personal data and the privacy of individuals without resorting to administrative control methods that are in line with this field. Thus, traditional administrative control turns into electronic administrative control that aims to monitor the exercise of public rights and freedoms in the digital environment, which has also evolved into digital public freedoms such as social media, electronic data exchange platforms and digital platforms for public administrations and bodies. These entities are exposed every minute to coordinated attacks from internal and external sources, which requires the authorities in France and American United States to protect the right to privacy of individuals on the one hand, and to protect public order on the other hand. This is the goal of our study by analyzing the legal texts issued in the both countries comparative law

Private Security and Military Companies in the African Continent: "A Study on the Justifications for Presence and Areas of Concentration

The complex security conditions experienced by African countries during the colonial period and after independence, have led to an urgent need for new mechanisms to address gaps that local armies and security institutions have failed to manage. Most African countries have become unable to achieve their primary goal of survival and security, which has led them to rely on private security and military companies. These companies have taken on the task of providing military, logistical, and operational support to national armies, as well as other functions primarily related to protecting geo-strategically important areas in state policies.
As a result, these companies have begun to operate in conflict zones in Africa specifically.This situation necessitates research into the roles of these companies and their key areas of concentration in order to identify both the negative and positive impacts they have on the security of states in the medium and long term.

Боль и дискомфорт в коленном суставе – наиболее частые жалобы у пациентов, страдающих воспалением в области сочленения бедренной кости и надколенника. По данным ВОЗ, около 365 миллионов человек страдают от проблем с коленями, при этом большую часть составляют молодые люди и чаще физически активные, у которых возрастные риски дегенеративных изменений (остеоартроз) еще не наступили. Ставшая обыденной практика использования противовоспалительных препаратов только усугубляет проблему, принося временное облегчение, но не искореняя причину. В проведенном исследовании предпринята попытка решить проблему консервативным способом, применяя физическую реабилитацию и физиотерапевтические методы. Комплексное воздействие физиотерапевтическими процедурами значительно снижает боль в области коленного сустава, воспалительный процесс и отек, при этом улучшает местное кровообращение, подвижность и его двигательную функцию.

Pain and discomfort in the knee joint are the most common complaints in patients suffering from inflammation in the area of the articulation of the femur and patella. According to WHO, about 365 million people suffer from knee problems, with the majority being young and often physically active, in whom age-related degenerative changes (osteoarthritis) have not yet occurred. The common practice of using anti-inflammatory drugs only aggravates the problem, bringing temporary relief – but does not eradicate the cause. The study attempted to solve the problem in a conservative way, using physical rehabilitation and physiotherapeutic methods. The complex effect of physiotherapeutic procedures significantly reduces pain in the knee joint, inflammation and swelling, while improving local blood circulation, mobility and motor function.
