Published: March 2021

It is critical to develop tailored strategies to increase acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccine and decrease hesitancy. Hence, this study aims to assess and identify factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Portugal. We used data from a community-based survey, “COVID-19 Barometer: Social Opinion”, which includes data regarding intention to take COVID-19 vaccines, health status, and risk perception in Portugal from September 2020 to January 2021. We used multinomial regression to identify factors associated with intention to delay or refuse to take COVID-19 vaccines. COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Portugal was high: 56% would wait and 9% refuse. Several factors were associated with both refusal and delay: being younger, loss of income during the pandemic, no intention of taking the flu vaccine, low confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine and the health service response during the pandemic, worse perception of government measures, perception of the information provided as inconsistent and contradictory, and answering the questionnaire before the release of information regarding the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. It is crucial to build confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine as its perceived safety and efficacy were strongly associated with intention to take the vaccine. Governments and health authorities should improve communication and increase trust.
Dräktvariation hos skärpiplärka Anthus petrosus littoralis och vattenpiplärka Anthus spinoletta i vinterdräkt
Authors: Andersson Reino
Published: March 2021

Plumage variation in nine neutral (i. e. not concerning colour hues) characters was studied from October through February in 77 Rock Pipit Anthus petrosus littoralis and 47 Water Pipit Anthus spinoletta in southern Sweden. The Rock Pipit generally showed more variation than the Water Pipit. Several characters were overlapping between the species, while especially streaking on the underparts significantly distinguished between them. The most reliable differences concerned the width and sharpness of the streaks on the lower breast, and on the anterior and, especially, rear flanks, the Water Pipit having considerably thinner and more clearcut streaks than Rock Pipit.
Distribution and numbers of wintering sea ducks in Swedish offshore waters
Authors: Nilsson Leif
Published: March 2021

The first survey of seaducks covering the offshore waters of the entire Baltic was undertaken in 1992/1993, when, however, the Swedish waters were covered with relatively few ship surveys. The second all Baltic survey 2007–2011 included extensive aerial surveys of all Swedish offshore waters. This paper presents the Swedish data from these two surveys, supplemented with data from several other but partial surveys back to the early 1970s. The most numerous wintering seaduck in the Swedish waters was the Long-tailed Duck Clangula hyemalis with an estimated population of 1.41 million in 1992/1993, decreasing with 69% to 0.44 million in 2007–2009. Hoburg bank south of Gotland and the two Midsjö banks accounted for the vast majority of these ducks. In 2009–2011 only small numbers of scoters Melanitta fusca and M. nigra were found in Swedish Baltic waters. The totals for the Eider Somateria molissima and Red-breasted Merganser Mergus serrator were estimated at 20,000 and 8,000, respectively. Larger numbers of Eiders (50,000) and scoters (20,000) were found on the west coast.

Published: March 2021

MSMEs are of vital importance in the economic and social development of the nations of Latin America, comprise 99% of the formal Latin American companies, are the main generators of employment with 61% and contribute with 25% of the GDP of that region. Unfortunately, the average life expectancy is less than 10 years because these businesses face various problems, highlighting access to financing. The objective of this research is to determine the impact of financial inclusion on the life expectancy of MSMEs in Mexico, Colombia and Chile. An exhaustive analysis of both variables is carried out with data from reports, surveys and specialized studies. Some results indicate that the main source of financing for these companies is not the financial institutions, on the contrary, they are the resources that their owners invest and the main obstacle to not accessing external financing is the high interest rates. This research contributes to show the current conditions of MSMEs in order to design public policies that strengthen financial inclusion to improve their permanence and competitiveness in the market.

Published: March 2021

The spatial and temporal variation patterns of birds were investigated in the Oasis ecosystem of the North of Algeria Sahara. This contribution aimed to investigate the poorly studied bird fauna of Bousaâda oasis. The direct observation method was used for bird counts, adopted only during the breeding period. A total of 53 species of birds from 29 families and 16 orders were assessed in the different habitats of the Oasis (palm, fruit trees and, cultivated crops). The Passeriformes order was the most abundant represented by 35 species and 16 families. The relative abundance and species richness were recorded during our study period over different seasons and thought that whole surveyed stations represent all the oasis habitats. The Boussaâda oasis holds 18 resident-breeder species and is a transit zone for many migratory birds 14 and 10 species for summer and winter migrants respectively) and11 occasional visitor ones. These results confirmed the positive effects of stations and seasons on the richness and abundance of birds of Bousaâda oasis.
Genome Based Research in Aquaculture

Published: March 2021

Genome -based technologies are being instigated to manipulate the structure and function of the genome and to identify the genes of interest for genetic modification of economically important species. Genome editing technologies have also been designed for genetic manipulation of aquaculture species to increase production and quality with minimum investment costs. DNA marker technologies are the most widely used genome technologies. DNA fingerprints are used to construct physical maps while genetic maps are based upon meiotic recombination. BAC fingerprinting is the commonly used method for physical mapping. Next- generation sequencers revolutionized science and allowed the de-novo whole genome sequencing. QTL mapping has made it possible to identify the genes responsible for a particular trait. Government involvement and better training of aqualturists are direly needed to reinforce the practical implications of genome- based technologies.

Published: March 2021

An imminent threat to indigenous freshwater ichthyofauna is the introduction of alien fishes that can alter the behavior, population dynamics and native community structure. Thus, it is necessary to understand their feeding behaviour to avoid any unwanted incalculable loss. At sampling site, Head Baloki feeding habits both of native (L. calbasu, C. catla, L. rohita and C. mrigala) and alien (H. nobilis, H. molitrix, C. carpio, C. idella, C. auratus, O. aureus, O. niloticus and O. mozambicus) species were analyzed through frequency of occurrence and percentage by number from January 2017-December 2019. Results indicated that L. rohita remained herbivorous while L. calbasu, C. catla, C. idella and both C. carpio and C. mrigala were detritivore, planktivore, phytoplanktivore and generalist feeders, respectively. H. molitrix and C. auratus showed planktivorus and generalist feeding behaviour, respectively. Tilapia species enlisted as detritivores Whereas, H. nobilis was generalist feeder. Complex dietary overlap has been observed between different co-existing species. Current study has uncovered some surprising results where diet of O. niloticus was altered as detritus feeder. Change in feeding habit of alien fishes is the strategy to make them successful that is in line with current findings from freshwater ecosystem of Punjab, Pakistan.

Published: March 2021

We propose a high-power, noise-like pulse (NLP), Tm-doped fiber oscillator applying the nonlinear polarization rotation method. The repetition rate is 12.94 MHz resulting in a pulse energy of 75.7 nJ. The emitted mode-locking spectrum can be tuned from 1885 nm to 1949 nm in a 64 nm spectral range. A theoretical model is built to illustrate the NLP dynamics and its boundary conditions with a soliton pulse inside the 2 μm fiber ring cavity. The corresponding simulation results match well with our experimental results.
Effectiveness of Resource Mobilisation Strategies of the Wa Municipal Assembly
Authors: Abdul-Wahab Shamsia , Issahaku Haruna , Nkegbe Kwame Paul
Published: March 2021

Authority is vested in the Wa Municipal Assembly to take charge of the development of the Municipality. Given its numerous developmental challenges among which are rapid population growth, high rates of illiteracy, poor environmental sanitation and poverty, the Assembly needs to mobilise more resources. The Assembly depends so much on external sources for development funds, which often fluctuate, and generally on a decline. This dependence is as a result of the low contribution of Internally Generated Funds to the Municipality’s total annual revenue basket. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the resource mobilisation strategies of the Wa Municipal Assembly. Primary and secondary data were used for the study. Questionnaires and interview guide were used to collect primary data from 52 respondents within the Municipality. The study revealed that the Assembly uses a number of strategies to mobilise revenues some of which are publicity and sensitisation, issuance of demand notices, door-to-door collection, investment, privatisation and outsourcing, and lobbying. The conclusion of the study is that the most effective resource mobilisation strategy employed by the Assembly is door-to-door collection whilst investment is the least effective. Much consideration needs to be given to investment as a strategy by ensuring good management and accounting practices. Innovative measures must also be developed to guarantee the sustainability of door-to-door collection.
Livelihood Sustainability Under Environmental Change: Exploring the Dynamics of Local Knowledge in Crop Farming and Implications for Development Planning in Ghana
Authors: Derbile Emmanuel K. , Dongzagla Alfred , Dakyaga Francis
Published: March 2021

The relationship between environmental change, local knowledge systems and livelihood sustainability has received increased scholarly attention over the past few decades. However, the inter-linkages and emerging dynamics of knowledge systems in response to environmental change is still a grey area. This paper explores the dynamics of local knowledge systems for adapting crop farming to environmental change in the Wa Municipality, northern Ghana. The study employed a mixed methods research approach to collect data from four farming communities. Qualitative data was collected through in-depth interviews of Key Informants and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with women, men and youth groups involved in farming. This was complemented by a household survey that targeted 200 farmers. The results show that farmers have resorted to integration of indigenous and new external knowledge systems for diversifying crop varieties and soil and water conservation strategies for adapting crop farming to environmental change, particularly, climate change and soil degradation. Drawing on the results, the paper advocates that Development Planning (DP) should emphasize an Endogenous Development (ED) approach and promote pro-poor approaches to crop diversification and integrated soil and water conservation for achieving inclusive environmental and livelihood sustainability in smallholder agriculture in the Wa Municipality and country at large.

Sobowtór i jego Pan
Authors: Mikurda Kuba
Published: March 2021

Wykład performatywny Kuby Mikurdy wprowadzający do opartego na motywach podwójności, gry na dwie strony i fantazji o doppelgängerze filmu Dubel (Double Take) Johana Grimponpreza (2009), który opowiada nie tylko o życiowej fascynacji Alfreda Hitchcocka tymi wątkami, lecz także o zimnej wojnie (i jej wpływie na przeżywaną przez nas współczesność) jako rzeczywistości hitchcockowskiej. Korzystając z archiwalnych nagrań programu Alfred Hitchcock Presents, w których autor Psychozy wciela się w najróżniejsze alternatywne wersje siebie, Grimonprez pokazuje, że dwie strony żelaznej kurtyny to w istocie dwie strony tej samej monety, idealne refleksy swojego dubla. To samo dotyczy zimnowojennej paranoi, powracającego widma globalnego konfliktu czy wojny atomowej: ostatecznie trudno powiedzieć, czy filmy mistrza suspensu, takie jak Ptaki i Północ, północny zachód są ich emanacją czy też jest tak, że w kondycji późnej nowoczesności nasze doświadczenie świata przejęło rysy iście hitchcockowskiego filmu. Grimonprez, artysta znany z projektów galeryjnych i teoretycznych zainteresowań, oferuje nam pełną dystansu i gry, a także nieco histo/eryczną opowieść o bliźniactwie podzielonego świata. Przy tym, jak przypomina Karen Beckmann, „identyczność bliźnięcia opiera się na wypartej pamięci rozdzielenia, rozbicia, gwałtownego podziału”.
The Doppelgänger and his Master
Authors: Mikurda Kuba
Published: March 2021

A performative introduction, by Kuba Mikurda, to Johan Grimonprez’s Double Take (2009). Based on the themes of duality, playing for both sides, and doppelgänger fantasy, the tells not only the tale of Alfred Hitchcock’ lifelong fascination with such motifs, but also of the Cold War (and its influence on our contemporaneity) as a Hitchcock-esque reality. Using archive footage of Alfred Hichcock Presents, where the author of Psycho impersonates various alternative versions of himself, Grimonprez shows that the two sides of the Iron Curtain are actually two sides of the same coin – perfect mirror images of its double. The same is true for Cold War paranoia, the returning phantom of a global conflict, or atom war – it is ultimately difficult to say whether the films of the master of suspense, such as Birds and North by Northwest are its manifestation or is it maybe that in the current state of late modernity, our experience of the world took on the features of a Hitchcock film. Grimonprez – an artist known for gallery projects and theoretical interests, offers a story of the duplexity of a divided world – a slightly histo/erical one and full of distance and games. All the same, as Karen Beckmann reminds us, “the sameness of a twin is based on the repressed memory of division, breakage, and a sudden partition”.
Video lecture as an example of digital technologies implementation in the educational process of the university
Authors: Variyasova Elizaveta V. , Ivanova Elena A. , Karnyushina Vera V.
Published: March 2021

The active development of digital technologies has had a significant impact on the educational process. Higher education institutions en masse switch to distance learning courses, vlogs, video hosting, popular science educational platforms. All of these platforms provide lectures in various branches of knowledge, regardless the curriculum, level of education, or even professional orientation. The development of modern media formats implies the possibility of active interaction with content. Can the format of video lecture meet these requirements? Or does the content consumer remain passive and cant influence anything? How long will such training format exist, and what are its prospects? In such rapidly changing conditions of life, the skills of flexibility and adaptation are applied to the educational process and teaching formats likewise. To improve the efficiency of work, everyone, including teachers, lecturers and students, needs to quickly adjust and adapt. The authors of the article attempted to explore the popularity and effectiveness of video lectures, identify the problems related to this form of teaching, and offer some possible solutions to create an educational model of online interaction that would promote the development of communication and learning skills.

Introduction: The COVID-19 disease has an impact on the disruption of routine services and other health priorities including the provision of reproductive health services. Public awareness and knowledge of cancer including risk factors, efforts to prevent it, symptoms that arise, and early detection of cancer are still lacking, so it is necessary to increase knowledge to the public. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of counseling on the level of knowledge of the target group on breast cancer and cervical cancer in the pandemic era as well as to socialize about COVID-19. Methods: Research is carried out through Zoom Meeting media with educational media PowerPoint presentations, videos, and BSE demonstrations with an average number of 40 participants. The pretest was given a google form link that was distributed by the teacher to the WhatsApp group of the parents of students. The material was continued with a question-and-answer session and filling in the google post-test form. Data were analyzed by calculating the average pre-test and post-test scores to see the differences in participants' knowledge before and after counseling. Results: The average pre-test results of the participants were 6.7 and the post-test 9, analyzed with SPSS. There was an increase in participants' knowledge after counseling, it can be seen from the average score obtained from the post-test results that were higher when compared to the average score of pre-test average. Discussion: Counseling was deemed effective enough to educate parents or guardians about reproductive health, as seen from the enthusiasm of the participants during the activity and actively asking questions during the question-and-answer session. Conclusion: In conclusion, counseling can increase the knowledge of participants.

Introduction: Pneumoconiosis is an occupational systemic disease that generally manifests as diffuse pulmonary fibrosis caused by inhalation of long-term silica dust in the production process, silicosis is one of them. Purpose: This article aims to identify the dangers of silica dust exposure to mine workers. Method: This study uses several literature studies through systematic review obtained from 36 reference sources. Some inclusion criteria that have been used are health research or related research articles published in the 2009-2019 range and research articles that contain topics on the identification of hazards of exposure to silica dust to mine workers. Results: Literature review results explain that miners have a high risk of silicosis due to silica exposure. Inhalation of this dust poses a danger because of its high silica crystal content if it settles in the lungs and can cause silicosis. Discussion: Crystal silica has also been classified as a human carcinogen. Silica crystals entering the lungs through three potential exposure pathways are identified namely external irradiation, inhalation of granite dust, and radon exposure. silica dust from granite mining also suggests using a filter mask, because the mask can reduce the amount of dust up to twice as much. Conclusion: In conclusion, occupational exposure to silica dust causes serious lung disease that is silicosis which is irreversible and so far there has been no effective treatment. Effective precautions are needed to reduce the risk factors for silica dust exposure.

Preaching is a call that demands Muslims to convey the message of Islam through the implementation of welfare, respect for human values and appreciate the perfection of human nature. The natives (pribumi) society are receiving the missionary which has not been directly exposed to missionary approach using social welfare. They are the most numerous in a state of poverty and distress including their knowledge about Islam is very limited. Welfare approach is needed in preaching to the natives peoples in Sabah and Sarawak. Therefore missionary planning needs to be implemented through the preparation of missionary strategy, operational design, short and long term goals, practice of worship and missionary training to the natives communities themselves. This planning should involve government agencies, the private sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the private preacher. Missionary approach for social welfare would succeed with the involvement collectively by missionaries and native communities in embracing the practices of Islam.

Glioma are common malignant brain tumors, among which glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has the worst prognosis. Different studies of GBM revealed that targeting nuclear factor B (NF-B) induced an attenuation tumor proliferation and prolonged cell survival. TBK1 {TANK [TRAF (TNF (tumor-necrosis-factor) receptor-associated factor)-associated NF-B activator]-binding kinase 1} is a serine/threonine protein kinase, and it is a member of the IB kinase (IKK) family involved in NF-B pathway activation. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential effect of BX795, an inhibitor of TBK1, in an in vitro and ex vivo model of GBM. GBM cell lines (U87 and U138) and primary GBM cells were treated with different concentrations of BX795 at different time points (24, 48, and 72h) to evaluate cell viability, autophagy, inflammation, and apoptosis. Our results demonstrated that BX795 10 M was able to reduce cell viability, showing antiproliferative effect in U87, U138, and primary GBM cells. Moreover, treatment with BX795 10 M increased the proapoptotic proteins Bax, p53, caspase 3, and caspase 9, whereas the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 expression was reduced. Additionally, our results showed a marked decrease in autophagy following BX795 treatment, reducing Atg 7, Atg 5/12, and AKT expression. The anti-inflammatory effect of BX795 was demonstrated by a significantly reduction in NIK, IKK, and TNF- expression, accompanied by a downregulation of angiogenesis. Furthermore, in primary GBM cell, BX795 10 M was able to reduce TBK1 pathway activation and SOX3 expression. In conclusion, these findings showed that TBK1 is involved in GBM proliferation, demonstrating that the inhibitor BX795, thanks to its abilities, could improve therapeutic strategies for GBM treatment.

The neogenic recombinases are potentially a source of genetic variability possibly implicated in themechanisms of genetic instability involved in the processes of carcinogenesis. One of these neogenicrecombinases is the nuclear apoptosis-inducing factor 1(NAIF1), which codes the protein NAIF1 thatinduces apoptosis in various human cancers.The aim of this work is to study the expression of NAIF1 neogene in cancerous and non-cancerous colorectaltissues.The protein expression of NAIF1gene has been studied by western blot method in the samples of proteinextracted from 29 patients with colorectal cancer.The result of this study showed that the protein expression of NAIF1 was found in both cancerous andnon-cancerous colorectal tissues, but it is highly expressed in non-cancerous tissues adjacent to cancerousone. Its expression is higher in non-metastatic cancerous tissues compared with metastatic one. Also thisexpression is higher in microsatellite instable (MSI) group of cancer compared with microsatellite stable(MSS) group.It can be concluded that NAIF1 protein expression inversely related with more advanced stage or grade ofcolorectal cancer and it may have a role in inhibition of proliferation, migration and invasion of colorectalcancer by inducing apoptosis.
