Rotavirus infection is the leading cause of severe acute gastroenteritis in young children worldwide. Rotavirus diarrheal disease is more severe than diarrhea caused by other enteric pathogens with symptoms including an average of 6 stools per day, severe dehydration, which is 14 times more frequent than in children without rotavirus diarrhea, vomiting and fever. Rotavirus is the single most important cause of severe gastroenteritis in young children throughout the world. Globally, an estimated 700,000 children die each year due to rotavirus diarrhea .Rotavirus transmission, in most cases, occurs through contact with contaminated stool. The usual way of transmission involves ingesting food or water contaminated with the virus. The incubation period for a rotavirus lasts approximately two days. This study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of Rota vaccine on the severity and duration of rotavirus infection admitted to Al Kadhimiyah Pediatrics hospital. The results show that rotavirus vaccine is effective in reducing the severity and duration of infection.Methods: Over a period of one year, from the 1st of January 2016 to the 1st of January 2017. 715 patients admitted with gastroenteritis, detailed vaccination history was taken and stool sample was send for lab investigation of rotavirus using commercial Kits (Biotec® UK).A special questionnaire was designed by researchers for the purpose of data collection. Ages of the patients range were from 2 months-5 years, alfa level was set at 0.05. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 20.

Prevenção ou educação? Considerações para a gestão dos conselhos sobre drogas
Authors: Da Silva Maria de Lourdes , Coelho Francisco José Figueiredo
Published: July 2023

Desde que as drogas se tornaram uma questão da saúde pública, elas têm participado dos currículos escolares sempre na lógica da prevenção das doenças causadas pelo consumo de drogas. A relação drogas-doença tem sido preterida, por sua ineficácia, à construção de outra abordagem, que caminha no sentido da promoção da saúde e da Redução de Danos-RD. Na educação, RD e promoção da saúde guardam mais afinidades com a prática pedagógica democrática, orientada à autonomia e criticidade dos educandos, enquanto os conselhos sobre drogas têm sido espaço de recrudescimento de propostas proibicionistas e gestado políticas públicas com esse filtro. A partir disso, e orientados pela educação emancipatória de Theodor Adorno e pela análise de discurso de Mikhail Bakhtin, propomos que a RD de cunho pedagógico caminhe fora da chave saúde-doença e que conselhos mais plurais possam estabelecer outras bases para a intersetorialidade e ações colaborativas.
Estudo para reutilização das cinzas da palha e do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar geradas na produção do Etanol de segunda geração em matrizes cimentícias
Authors: Pablos Javier Mazariegos , Zago Mário Sérgio de Andrade
Published: July 2023

O Brasil é o segundo maior produtor de etanol do mundo, com 25% de participação no mercado global. A cinza do bagaço da cana-de-açúcar (CBC) é um resíduo gerado na indústria sucroalcooleira, proveniente da queima do bagaço para produção de energia elétrica. No caso do etanol de primeira geração, a CBC é usada como adubo nas plantações de cana. Já no etanol de segunda geração, as cinzas (CBC2G) são provenientes da queima do bagaço, palha e lignina. O reaproveitamento desses resíduos é essencial para preservar recursos naturais, reduzir a degradação ambiental e melhorar as condições de vida das comunidades. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo caracterizar as cinzas CBC2G e compará-las às CBC convencionais, além de explorar a possibilidade de reutilização dessas cinzas na produção de materiais cimentícios para a construção civil. O estudo analisa as propriedades das cinzas e avalia seu potencial como substituto parcial do cimento ou do agregado miúdo (areia). Isso pode trazer benefícios econômicos, reduzindo custos, e ambientais, ao diminuir a quantidade de resíduos descartados e as emissões de CO2 associadas à produção de cimento.

Authors: Wahyuni Maria , Santosa Imam , Irfansyah  , Julianto I Nyoman Larry
Published: July 2023

Objective: A contribution to a better understanding of Balinese subak farming rituals through symbolic and mythological analysis of the water breeding and preservation concept. The symbolism and mythology in the concept of water exhalation in subak ritual as a visual communication of humans, God, and the environment will be examined in this qualitative descriptive study with an ethnographic approach.
 
Method: The implementation of THK philosophy as the foundation for a high spirit of cooperation, as well as the existence of ritual activities as a unifying element for members of the subak organization, has the potential to sustain the subak existence. Meanwhile, in the Balinese people's cosmos, natural, religious, and cultural attributes are interconnected through the traditional and Subak systems, and their properties are still fully functional. They have even lasted for thousands of years.
 
Result: Farming rituals in Subak are forms of nonverbal communication that have manifested as tangible symbolic actions involving interpretations and perspectives on the lives of the Balinese agricultural community. Balinese farmers perform several rituals during one rice planting cycle.
 
Conclusion: The mapag Toya ritual is part of religious practice as a concept of exaltation and preserving water as a source of life, a symbol of purity, a means of cleaning, a means of expelling disease, and a means of communication that connects humans with the Creator and ancestors.

Published: July 2023

La alta prevalencia de deficiencia de vitamina D (VDD) en el embarazo y los estudios que han reportado una restricción de crecimiento fetal (RCIU) en gestantes con concentraciones bajas de vitamina D o una mejoría de la restricción después de la suplementación con la misma orientan a la existencia de una relación entre las dos problemáticas. Se buscaron y analizaron artículos en las bases de datos PubMed, Science PDirect y Taylor & Francis, introduciendo los términos: restricción de crecimiento fetal, deficiencia de vitamina D, complicaciones del embarazo y nutrición materna. Los efectos fisiológicos antiinflamatorios, pro angiogénicos y reguladores de la proliferación por parte de la vitamina D y su receptor en la unidad feto placentaria se ven alterados en madres con niveles séricos bajos de 1α,25- hidroxivitamina D. Concentraciones deficientes de vitamina D materna interfieren en la evolución del embarazo y pueden contribuir en el desarrollo de RCIU al provocar una insuficiencia placentaria.

Species Accounts, Assemblage, and Microhabitats of Amphibians and Reptiles of Northeastern Leyte, Philippines
Authors: Decena Syrus Cesar , Macasait Dionesio , Arguelles Michael
Published: July 2023

Leyte Island is part of a large biogeographic region of the Philippines called the Mindanao Pleistocene Aggregate Island Complex, which is home to many endemic amphibian and reptile species. Studies on these particular groups of vertebrates on the island remained very scarce, despite the fact that these are being threatened by various anthropogenic activities. In this present study, preliminary accounts, occurrence, and habitat and microhabitat of amphibians and reptiles are provided from the northeastern portion of the island, particularly in the Leyte Cordillera Mountain Range and Babatngon Range. The study yielded a total of 50 species (20 amphibians and 30 reptiles) from various habitats such as montane forest, dipterocarp forest, selectively logged dipterocarp forest, agroecosystem, and pasture. It was found that the study sites have high endemicity, where 65% (n = 15) and 70% (n = 21) of the documented amphibians and reptiles, respectively, are endemic to the island or country. The forest habitats were dominated by forest specialist species – primarily, Platymantis guentheri, Philautus leitensis, Limnonectes magnus, Occidozyga laevis, Pulchrana grandocula, Staurois natator, Cyrtodactylus annulatus, and Pinoyscincus llanosi. On the other hand, highly degraded habitats (pastures) were dominated by open-habitat specialists (e.g. Hylarana erythraea, Fejervarya moodiei, and Eutropis multifasciata). In addition, it was also found that many amphibians had an overlapping microhabitat (mainly terrestrial and aquatic), whereas many of the reptile species inhabited arboreal microhabitats. Finally, the study implies that actions must be taken to maintain this high diversity of amphibians and reptiles, as well as their persistence by conserving especially the remaining forested areas of the island.
Efficacy against Molds and Decay Fungi of Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) Formulations Applied on Forest Woody Vines
Authors: Pelayo Shirley , Micosa Sheryll , Alejo Kennethjer , Omalin Alaine
Published: July 2023

An organic-based preservative was formulated from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) because of its anti-termite and fungicidal properties. Various formulations such as cashew nut shell liquid + ethanol (CNSL + EtOH), cashew nut shell liquid + ethanol + boric acid (CNSL + EtOH + BA), and cashew nut shell liquid + ethanol + copper chloride (CNSL + EtOH + CuCl2) were developed from the refined cashew nut shell liquid. Laboratory evaluation showed that CNSL + EtOH + CuCl2 had the highest inhibition against the decay fungus, Gloeophyllum sepiarum, whereas CNSL + EtOH + BA and CNSL + EtOH provided moderate inhibitions. The three formulations, however, only showed slight to moderate inhibition against Polyporus sanguineus. The plate test against molds showed varied results. CNSL + EtOH showed no inhibition in both species of molds – Aspergillus niger and Penicillium sp. – whereas CNSL + EtOH + BA and CNSL + EtOH + CuCl2 showed slight inhibitions against both mold fungi. Results indicate that the three CNSL formulations showed toxicity against fungi, although it is less effective against molds but moderate to effective against decay fungi. The performances of CNSL formulations were tested in forest woody vines. The results of the treatment showed varied retention values. The concentration of CNSL significantly affected the retention. Likewise, the indoor exposure test showed variation in the efficacy of CNSL formulations. After a year of exposure, forest woody vines treated with CNSL + EtOH + CuCl2 proved to be the most effective against fungi.
Market Fish Resources in Magallanes, Sorsogon, Philippines
Authors: Malto Mark Ariel , Dumilag Richard
Published: July 2023

Since the 1930s, a number of fish taxa have been recorded from the marine waters of Magallanes in Sorsogon, Philippines. However, it has only in 1995 that the checklist was properly updated, in which the number of recorded species plummeted but has yet to reach a plateau. While the actual field surveys on natural habitats are a common approach to obtaining fish records, market surveys are also proven equally aidful. Here, we present an updated checklist of all named species of fish vended in Magallanes markets – including their local name, origin, and temporal availability. Sourced from Sorsogon Bay and Ticao-Burias Pass, a total of 77 species were identified. Thirteen species set new records for Sorsogon Bay. The Ticao-Burias Pass was the exclusive source of 11 taxa. A total of 61 species were sourced from either site. The current list of marketed fish from Magallanes represents 20% with that of the entire fish records reported from Sorsogon Bay. The fish species composition varied both in terms of origin and seasonal availability. Comparison of the present list of commercial fish in Magallanes against other records elsewhere in the Philippines may not be possible at the present, as previous studies indicated different sampling efforts, wider area coverage, and longer cumulative observation period. Return efforts and further market survey studies are expected to augment the current number of recorded fish taxa. Our present study makes recommendations for the continued use of market surveys to help update and verify records of fish diversity in a given area.
Validity of Body Roundness Index to Screen Abnormal Blood Lipid among Filipino Adults
Authors: Morillo John Carlo , Bullecer Ernani , Fernandez-Patalen Chona
Published: July 2023

The body roundness index (BRI) was developed to provide a more accurate numerical quantifier of body roundness. The capability of BRI to predict body fat and visceral adipose tissue provides an impression that it may be capable of relating to cardiometabolic risks. This present study utilized the 8th National Nutrition Survey to determine the validity of BRI to screen for abnormal blood lipids among Filipino adults. The area under the receiver-operating characteristics curve (AUC) was used as the validity measure. BRI had AUCs of 0.641 (95% CI: 0.627–0.655) in men and 0.635 (95% CI: 0.621–0.649) in women. In terms of criterion validity, the AUCs of BRI were compared to the AUCs of widely accepted anthropometric indices – namely, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-hip ratio (WHR). BRI significantly outperformed WHR in men, BMI in women, and WC in both sexes in screening abnormal blood lipids. Therefore, BRI had a discriminative capability to screen for abnormal blood lipids among Filipino adults. The optimal BRI cut-off points for screening abnormal blood lipids were identified as 2.71 for men and 3.44 for women based on [a] the maximum Youden Index value and [b] a rule that sensitivity should be greater than specificity. Filipino adults whose BRI exceeds the sex-specific cut-off points for screening abnormal blood lipids might consider further screening or diagnosis of abnormal blood lipids for effective case management.

A cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase)-producing bacterium was isolated from Manleluag hyperalkaline spring, Pangasinan, the first to be reported from a hyperalkaline environment in the Philippines. The isolate, M136, had the highest CGTase enzyme activity (46.01 U/mL) out of the forty-one similar bacterial isolates and exceeds the CGTase activity of the reference strain, Paenibacillus sp. JCM 9143. Using whole genome analysis, M136 was identified as Alkalihalobacillus lehensis. The CGTase enzyme produced by Alkalihalobacillus lehensis M136 was partially purified with 73.97% recovery and post-purification activity of 49.52 U/mL. The enzyme has an estimated molecular weight of 78.64 kDa and an isoelectric point of 4.72. Enzyme characterization revealed that it was stable at 30–80 °C (optimal activity at 70 °C), pH 4.0–10.0 (optimal activity at pH 6.0), and in the presence of different metal ions and reagents such as zinc, calcium, magnesium, and manganese, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, iodoacetic acid, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride.
Communication Complexities of Leakage-secure PKE Cryptosystems and Generic Transformations
Authors: Labao Alfonso , Adorna Henry
Published: July 2023

In this paper, we present the communication complexity results of several chosen-ciphertext attack (CCA2) secure public key cryptosystems that are resilient to certain classes of secret key leakage attacks. In particular, we discuss the communication complexity trade-off between cryptosystems and generic transformations that rely on the random oracle model and those that are designed under the standard model. For this purpose, we propose a communication complexity measure for public key cryptosystems that equals the total amount of bits involving the receiver’s public key and a ciphertext transmission by the sender. Using this complexity measure, we show that random oracle model-based cryptosystems and transformations are more efficient in terms of communication complexity, albeit relying on the stronger assumption that some cryptographic primitives behave like truly random functions. As corollaries of our results, we also address the problem of establishing communication complexity lower bounds by which leakage-secure communication between two parties can occur, and show that our cryptosystems and generic transformations achieve polynomial lower bounds in communication complexity relative to the security parameter of an adversary.

In the Philippines, the prevalence of hypertension among adults, 20 years old and above, increased from 2003 to 2015 but declined significantly in 2018–2019 based on the National Nutrition Surveys conducted by the Department of Science and Technology–Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI). Understanding this downward trend and the factors associated with hypertension could contribute toward the reduction in the prevalence of hypertension by 33% between 2010 and 2030. This study determined the trends and factors associated with hypertension among adults, 20 years old and above, using the data on anthropometry, blood pressure (BP), fasting blood glucose, and behavioral and dietary risk factors of non-communicable diseases collected in 2013, 2015, and 2018–2019 surveys. Marchevsky equation was used to determine the true prevalence of hypertension. Descriptive and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done using Stata version 15.0 to determine the general characteristics of participants and factors associated with hypertension, respectively. Results showed that the prevalence of age-standardized hypertension increased from 21.0% in 2013 to 23.7% in 2015 but declined to 17.1% in 2018–2019. The percentage of controlled hypertension improved from 20.7% in 2015 to 29.4% in 2018–2019. The use of anti-hypertensive medicines also increased in 2018–2019. Age, 60 years old and above, belonging to the upper wealth quintiles, obesity, high waist circumference and high waist-hip ratio, alcohol drinking, and binge drinking, were positively associated with hypertension in the three survey periods. Programs and policies should be intensified focusing on regular BP monitoring, adherence to healthy lifestyle advice, patient-centered treatment plan, and systematic follow-up. Strategies to address obesity should also be reinforced by reducing sedentary activities through engaging in physical activities.

Published: July 2023

The study was conducted to determine the physical and mechanical properties of 12 species of climbing bamboo collected from Luzon, Island Philippines, viz. bolo [Cyrtochloa fenixii (Gamble) S. Dransf], baitu (Cyrtochloa hirsuta S. Dransf. comb. nov.), luzon bikal [Cyrtochloa luzonica (Gamble) S. Dransf], bikal baboy [Cyrtochloa major (Pilg.) S. Dransf. comb. nov.], puser [Cyrtochloa puser (Gamble) S. Dransf. comb. nov.], bukawe [Crytochloa toppingii (Gamble) Dransf.], bikal [Dinochloa acutiflora (Munro) S. Dransf. comb. nov.], tagisi (Dinochloa dielsiana Pilger), elmer bikal (Dinochloa elmeri Gamble), baguisan (Dinochloa pubiramea Gamble), bagtok (Cephalostachyum mindorense Gamble), and yaho (Cephalostachyum mindorense Gamble). The physical and mechanical characteristics were determined using the ASTM D143. For physical properties, luzon bikal, bukawe, bagtok, and baitu showed the lowest green MC (64.26, 91.96, 93.40, and 94.25%, respectively) but gave the highest relative density (0.777, 0.603, 0.630, and 0.619, respectively). Baguisan, on the other hand, showed the highest tangential (11.99%), radial (14.28%), and volumetric shrinkage (24.24%). For longitudinal shrinkage, yaho (0.91%) gave the highest value. From the bottom to the top portion, a decrease in MC and an increase in RD were observed. For the shrinkage properties, various trends along the height levels of the bamboo were observed. Various trends in mechanical properties at green condition, highest fiber stress at elastic limit (FSEL), modulus of rupture (MOR), and modulus of elasticity (MOE) were observed on luzon bikal (46.48 MPa, 70.07 MPa, and 11.50 GPa, respectively) and bagtok (40.69 MPa, 79.05 MPa, and 11.36 GPa, respectively). Similarly, these species showed the highest compression parallel-to-grain with node (56.11 and 42.66 MPa, respectively) and without node (58.52 and 44.60 MPa). On the other hand, the highest shear strength with and without node was observed in bagtok (13.22 and 8.68 MPa, respectively) and baitu (10.16 MPa and 7.53 MPa, respectively). The significant differences among species might be due to differences in relative density and height levels. Based on the DOST-FPRDI strength classification, baitu, luzon bikal, bikal baboy, bagtok, yaho, puser, and bukawe are suited to applications where the large diameter is not required such as construction, high-grade furniture, and flooring where both strength and durability are required. Bolo, tagisi, and elmer bikal, on the other hand, are suitable for high-grade furniture, paneling, automobile bodies, and musical instruments, whereas bikal and baguisan are suited for pulp and paper and low-grade furniture. The improved utilization of climbing bamboos can give bamboo growers a wider range of options for plantation establishment and bamboo product manufacturers more choices for their raw materials.

Published: July 2023

This study evaluated some physical, physicochemical, and functional properties of three fonio types (early maturing, intermediate maturing, and late maturing) cultivated in the Northern part of Ghana. Black fonio types were purchased from a local farmer at Chereponi, sorted, milled, and stored for further analysis. Nutritional composition, physicochemical and functional properties were determined using appropriate methods. Proximate and nutritional compositions of the black fonio types varied. Thousand-grain weights and bulk density of the fonio types ranged from 0.407–0.513 g and 0.655–0.688 g/mL, respectively. Water absorption capacity, solubility, and swelling power of the samples ranged from 1.63–1.97 mL/g, 5.43–6.27%, and 5.88–6.33 g/g, respectively. Viscosities of the intermediate fonio types were lower than those of the other two fonio types. The fonio samples showed a typical A-type crystal starch structure. The three fonio types studied have potential applications in infant weaning food formulations and even in bakery and related products to address food security, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.

This study determined the influence of varying soil amendments containing bamboo biochar (BB) with or without biofertilizers on the populations of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and nitrogen-fixing bacteria (NFB), on plant growth, and soil parameters in acidic soil under nursery conditions. Cacao var. UF18 were sown in polypropylene bags filled with a 200-g oven- sterilized soil-sand mixture. After a month, cacao seedlings were transferred to a mixture of unsterilized acidic soil (4.65 pH) and vermicompost (3:1, w/w) and amended with BB (w/w) at varying concentrations (0, 15, and 30%). Inoculation with available formulated AMF inoculants (AMF1 and AMF2) and NFB, singly and in combination, was also done during this stage by adding the recommended rates directly beneath the roots. The results showed that regardless of biochar concentration and the type of AMF inoculum used, there was a significant decrease in AMF spore count and root colonization when AMF and NFB were combined. Root colonization in cacao by AMF1 or AMF2 showed no significant difference from each other. In general, the amendment of BB could have resulted in better soil properties such as increased pH, nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P), which provided a condition where microorganisms can optimally grow. However, co-inoculation of AMF and NFB resulted in a decrease in both spore count and root colonization, suggesting possible adverse interaction between the microorganisms. Co-amendment of 15% BB and biofertilizer (NFB or AMF1 alone) resulted in heavier (140 and 130 g plant–1) plant biomass compared with single inoculation of BB or biofertilizer (50–90 g plant–1). Moreover, the highest N uptake (2257 mg plant–1) was observed in cacao plants inoculated with NFB grown in 15% BB-amended soil. Cacao seedlings inoculated with NFB and AMF1 and amended with 15% BB soil resulted in the highest uptake of P (537 and 539 mg plant–1, respectively). The results clearly showed the beneficial effects of combining biofertilizer and BB at 15% concentration as compared to 0 and 30%. It is recommended that the same treatments be done in a field study to verify the results obtained in the nursery experiments.
