The COVID-19 global pandemic is now a public health emergency in Morocco. Reports on factors associated with prolonged viral shedding are not consistent. In this retrospective laboratory based study, time to RNA negative conversion is reported in a series of 129 patients monitored in a single laboratory in Casablanca. Risk factors associated with delayed negative conversion have been evaluated, by chi-squared test. Median delay of negative conversion was 22.5 days (IQR 17.75-29.0) from illness onset. Neither gender nor age were particularly associated with delayed viral clearance. Delayed time to hospital admission and disease severity were associated with prolonged viral shedding in this series. We recommend early diagnosis and treatment onset to reduce time to viral clearance and transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Authors: Atia Ahmed
Published: June 2020

Background and Objectives: In Libya, prescription medicines can easily be dispensed without a prescription, as self-medication with the subsequent of potential misuse and unnecessary risk for patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis explored the prevalence of self-medication among citizens in Libya. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, EMBASE, Medline, Scopus, google scholar and ResearchGate databases for studies published in Libya reporting the prevalence of non-prescription use of medicines in community pharmacies, targeting studies published from Jan 2008 until Dec 2019. A random meta-analysis was performed to analyze pooled estimates of non-prescription usage of medicines. Results: Out of 63 articles identified, a total of 13 papers from 7 cities were met the inclusion criteria and involved a total of 4741 subjects. The overall pooled proportion of self-medication of drugs was 53.6% (95% CI: 0.93% - 1.08%), with low heterogeneity and the P-value of the whole population tasted was found to be = 1.000 (df = 12). Seven out of the 13 studies reported data on self-medication for antibiotics without prescription. The records ranged from 15.3% (95% CI 0.61–1.65) in Misurata to 76.6% (95% CI 0.80–1.25) in Tripoli. Conclusion: Self-medication use of medicines among Libyan population is a common phenomenon involving a high proportion use of antibiotics. This misuse of medications could enhance the development and spread of antibiotic resistance.

As we know, the economy of science is to achieve optimal gains using scarce resources. Similarly, a problem where economies of the world are trying to resolve it is the issue of how to achieve an optimal economic contribution from limited tourism resources. According to the fact that global studies and statistics indicate that good governance is considered as the most important factor in developing countries and is considered as a strong governance of the development and as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is effective in the interactions and economic and social exchanges of any society, it is the link between the tourism industry and the technology under the form of a robust tool and utilitarian in the tourism process called E-tourism can play a significant role. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of network Readiness Index and good governance on income from tourism industry. In this study, data and information about 14 selected countries were collected from Southwest Asia in the annual period of 2016-2011 in the form of panel data and the proposed model was used and estimated by the generalized torques system method. The estimated results of the model indicate that both hypotheses have a positive and significant impact on the amount of Network Readiness Index in the income of tourism industry, as well as the positive and significant effect of the index the amount of income from the tourism industry is confirmed, and their impact has been positive and significant, as well as exchange rate variables, revenue and commercial openness, also have a positive and significant effect on revenues of the tourism industry.
Investigating the Effects of Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Post-Stroke Overground Gait Performance: A Partial Least-Squares Regression Approach
Authors: Solanki Dhaval , Rezaee Zeynab , Dutta Anirban , Lahiri Uttama
Published: June 2020

Stroke often results in impaired gait, which can limit community ambulation and the quality of life. Recent works have shown the feasibility of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) as an adjuvant treatment to facilitate gait rehabilitation. Since the cerebellum plays an essential role in balance and movement coordination, which is crucial for independent overground ambulation, so, we investigated the effects of cerebellar tDCS (ctDCS) on the post-stroke overground gait performance in chronic stroke survivors. Fourteen chronic post-stroke male subjects were recruited based on convenience sampling at the collaborating hospitals where ten subjects finally participated in the ctDCS study. We evaluated the effects of two ctDCS montages with 2mA direct current, a) optimized configuration for dentate stimulation with 3.14cm2 disc anode at PO10h (10/5 EEG system) and 3.14cm2 disc cathode at PO9h (10/5 EEG system), and b) optimized configuration for leg lobules VII-IX stimulation with 3.14cm2 disc anode at Exx8 (electrodes defined by ROAST) and 3.14cm2 disc cathode at Exx7. We found ctDCS to be acceptable by all the exposed subjects. The ctDCS intervention had an effect on the 'Normalised Step length Affected side' (p=0.1) and 'Gait Stability Ratio' (p=0.0569), which was found using Wilcoxon signed-rank test at 10% significance level. Also, ctDCS montage specific effect was found using a two-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum test at a 5% significance level for 'Step Time Affected Leg' (p=0.0257) and '%Stance Time Unaffected Leg' (p=0.0376). Moreover, the changes in the quantitative gait parameters across both the montages were found to be correlated to the mean electric field strength in the lobules based on partial least squares regression analysis (R2 statistic = 0.6574) where the mean electric field strength at the cerebellar lobules, Vermis VIIIb, Ipsilesional IX, Vermis IX, Ipsilesional X, had the most loading. In conclusion, our feasibility study indicated the potential of a single session of ctDCS to contribute to the immediate improvement in the balance and gait performance in terms of gait-related indices and clinical gait measures.

Published: June 2020

The main manifestation of new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is respiratory disease. The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) attacks the lungs and may result in severe acute respiratory syndrome. In such cases, the infected person has difficulty breathing, which impairs oxygen uptake in the body. If pneumonia or another respiratory illness develops, and the host immune system is unable to combat SARS-CoV-2, the infected person may eventually die. Meanwhile, reports on unexpected symptoms in organs other than the nasal cavity, throat, and lungs are emerging. To elucidate the causes of such symptoms, we analyzed the expression status of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the host receptor used by SARS-CoV-2, in various tissues. This study confirmed that alveolar macrophages appear to be involved in pneumonitis and thrombus formation. In this report, we introduce some new symptoms.

Published: June 2020

Increasing the number of tourists to Harapan Island in the Kepulauan Seribu triggers an increase in the number of homestays. But there are still many homestays that do not meet operational standards. The purpose of empowerment is to increase the capability of homestay owners in meeting business standards. The analytical method used is a method of self reflection. The participants are guided by the facilitators for self-reflection on the homestay and its management. Most homestays have two rooms. Most homestays are separate from where the owner lives, only a few offer homestays with the owner. Most homestays do not have signage, do not provide kitchen facilities for guests, and have no complaint records. The majority of homestay owners have not yet attended homestay and ‘sapta pesona’ training. The interaction between homestay owners and guests is relatively low because most guests book rooms through travel agents. Therefore, most homestay owners do not record guest identity. Most homestay owners also do not have a special room for administrative activities, and do not do regular guest and financial administration activities. The capabilities of homestay owners in meeting business standards vary so that empowerment activities are strongly recommended.

Tasawuf or also called by Sufism is an integral part of Islamic religious knowledge which is particularly served in traditional even in modern conditions nowadays. A case study was done in this research in order to capture all of natural phenomenon happened in six different Islamic boarding schools in East Kalimantan particularly in Sabilarrasyad, Darul Ihsan, and An-Nur Islamic boarding schools in Samarinda, Muhammad Arsyad Al Banjari Islamic boarding school in Balikpapan, and Darul Quran wa Tarbiyah and Al Hidayah Islamic boarding schools in Kutai Kartanegara. Specifically, direct observation, semi-structured interview, as well as document study were applied in this research in order to figure out the implementation of teaching and learning of Tasawuf particularly in terms of curriculum applied, materials and media used, methods and evaluation utilized at above Islamic boarding schools. As the result, the essentials of teaching and learning of Tasawuf is directed through hidden curriculum particularly inserted in Akhlak materials taught by the teachers or what so called by Asatidz and Asatidzah at all Islamic boarding schools investigated in this research. Additionally, traditional patterns of Islamic teaching and learning of Akhlak materials are applied i.e. Bandungan, Sorogan, and Wetonan as well as conventional learning steps including Tarjamah, Pendhabitan Harakat, Imlak, Mutholaah, and Memorizing methods. Small difference in terms of media used among those Islamic boarding schools does not lead to significant highlighted aspect since all of the Kitab used is contained about Akhlak or particularly regarding with how to build positive characters, behavior, and attitude of the students. Finally, future implication is also served and discussed in this research.

Authors: Selamat Kasmuri
Published: June 2020

This research is aimed to analyze K.H. Aceng Zakaria's thought of Islamic education which is focused on his educational practice to the Organization of Persatuan Islam (Persis) from 1975 to 2006. It's very interesting to study K.H. Aceng Zakaria's thought. At least, there are two reasons: firstly, there wasn't research which raised the aspect of Persatuan Islam's ‘ulama, especially in thought of educational domain, especially from the third generation. Secondly, K.H. Aceng Zakaria is known as an ulama’s of Persis who gives a lot of contribution in education not only the book but also his creativity to hold any alternative educational forum in term of providing people's interest to learn Islamic knowledge. As one of Persis's ulama, his religiosity's thought as same as other Persis ulama identical with purification idea which features as well as Salafi or salafiyyah movement. Based on this study shows, this movement often adhered to the number of stigmatizations, such as rigidity, radical attitude, and some of the similar stigma. The assumption justified when reading a book written by Tsaqil bin Shalfiq al-Qasimi entitled "Rooting out Ahlul Ahwa and Bid'ah". It's the difference from the stigmatizations, through this research, the writer concludes that the consistency of returning Islamic practice to al-Quran and al-Sunnah tends to push progressive attitude. It's proven through educational views of K.H. Aceng Zakaria which focused into an educational book written by K.H. Aceng Zakaria entitled "Zad al-Muta'allim", and his educational practice since he has decided to dedicate his life to the Persis.

Published: June 2020

Dalam sebuah tatanan kehidupan dinamika tentang perselisihan selalu ada dan tidak akan pernah padam. Dimana perselisihan itu terkadang membuat sebagian orang terjerumus dalam hal-hal yang negatif misalnya pembunuhan dan lain sebagainya. Manfaat al-Qur’an diturunkan adalah untuk memperbaiki kualitas hidup umat muslim termasuk juga mendamaikan bagi orang yang berselisih. Salah satu ayat menjelaskan bahwa jika ada pasangan suami dan istri yang bertengkar secara terus menerus (shiqa<q) maka harus diangkat juru damai (hakam). Begitu pula dijelaskan dalam Undang – undang bahwa hakim dapat mengangkat hakam dalam perkara perceraian. Namun kenyataannya dalam lingkup Pengadilan Agama seringkali tidak memakai hakam dikarenakan sudah ada mediator. Dengan menggunakan analisis descriptive comparative, penelitian ini membahas tentang keberadaan hakam dalam Pengadilan Agama di Indonesia. Hasilnya adalah hakam masih tetap dipakai dengan catatan sepanjang ijtihad hakim menyatakan bahwa perkara perceraian termasuk dalam kategori shiqa<q. Begitu pula sebaliknya, jika dinyatakan belum masuk maka pengangkatan hakam tidak diperlukan. [In the dynamic of life the conflict and tension will always exist and it likelihood will never disappear. Whereas the conflict sometimes make some people fall into the negative things such as murder and so forth. The benefits of al-Qur'an revealed is to improve the quality of Muslim’s life, including reconciling those who are in conflict. One of the verses explains that if there are husband and wife who quarrel continuously (shiqa<q) then a peacemaker (hakam) should be appointed. It is also explained in the law that judges can appoint hakam in the divorce cases. But in reality within the scope of the Religious Courts often do not use hakam because there are already judge mediators. By using a descriptive comparative analysis, this study discusses the existence of hakam in the Religious Courts in Indonesia. The result is that hakam is still used as long as the judge's ijtihad states that the divorce case is included in the category of shiqa<q. And vice versa, if it is not the category of shiqa<q, then the appointment of hakam is not needed.]

Rev.esc.adm.neg

Puesto que varios estudios han encontrado que los entornos educativos son más propensos a presentar casos de mobbing, el objetivo de este artículo es estudiar esta problemática y sus efectos en un ambiente académico específico. Para esto, se realizó una revisión de caso en una institución de educación superior privada de nivel intermedio y legalmente constituida en Colombia. En el presente estudio se utilizó una versión ajustada del Inventario de Leymann de Terrorización Psicológica, LIPT-60, a fin de explorar la percepción de mobbing en la universidad estudiada; y la muestra utilizada cubrió al 85 % de los docentes adscritos a una facultad específica. Los resultados evidenciaron una fuerte correlación lineal positiva de la variable control excesivo de la actividad docente, con las variables limitar la comunicación y la desacreditación de su capacidad profesional, lo que conduce a problemas de motivación y desempeño. Por eso, como conclusión, si bien se descartó la presencia de mobbing en la facultad estudiada, se identificaron conductas y patrones recurrentes asociados a este fenómeno que, si se atienden por completo, permitirán una mejora sustancial en la salud física y mental de sus docentes, mientras que la universidad mejorará su clima organizacional y sus indicadores de calidad.

Background
Molecular breeding has opened new avenues for crop improvement with the potential for faster progress. As oil palm is the major producer of vegetable oil in the world, its improvement, such as developing compact planting materials and altering its oils’ fatty acid composition for wider application, is important.

Results
This study sought to identify the QTLs associated with fatty acid composition and vegetative traits for compactness in the crop. It integrated two interspecific backcross two (BC 2 ) mapping populations to improve the genetic resolution and evaluate the consistency of the QTLs identified. A total 1,963 markers (1,814 SNPs and 149 SSRs) spanning a total map length of 1793 cM were integrated into a consensus map. For the first time, some QTLs associated with vegetative parameters and carotene content were identified in interspecific hybrids, apart from those associated with fatty acid composition. The analysis identified 8, 3 and 8 genomic loci significantly associated with fatty acids, carotene content and compactness, respectively.

Conclusions
Major genomic region influencing the traits for compactness and fatty acid composition was identified in the same chromosomal region in the two populations using two methods for QTL detection. Several significant loci influencing compactness, carotene content and FAC were common to both populations, while others were specific to particular genetic backgrounds. It is hoped that the QTLs identified will be useful tools for marker-assisted selection and accelerate the identification of desirable genotypes for breeding.

Backgrounds Master of public health (MPH) plays an important role in Chinese medical education, and the dissertations is an important part of MPH education. In MPH dissertations, most are observational studies. Compared with randomized controlled trial (RCT), observational studies are more prone to information bias. So, the reporting of the observational studies should be transparent and standard. But, no research on evaluating the reporting quality of the MPH dissertation has been found.
Methods A systematic literature search was performed in the Wanfang database from January 1, 2014 to May 31, 2019. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observation Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement was adopted to evaluate the reporting quality of the selected studies. Articles that met the following criteria were selected: (1) observational studies, including cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, and cohort studies; (2) original articles; (3) studies on humans, including both adults and children.
Results The Median of compliance to individual STROBE items was 74.79%. The mean (standard deviation) of STROBE score was 14.29 (1.84). Five items/sub-items were 100% reported (“reported” and “partly reported” were combined): background, objectives, study design, report numbers of individuals at each stage, and key result. Fifteen items/sub-items were reported by 75% or more. Reporting of methods and results was often omitted: missing data (6.67%), sensitivity analyses (3.63%), flow diagram (15.15%), and absolute risk (0%). Logistic regression analysis indicated that cohort studies (OR=3.41, 95% CI=1.27-9.16), funding support (OR=4.37, 95% CI=1.27-9.16) and more published papers during postgraduate period (OR=3.46, 95% CI=1.40-8.60) were related to high reporting quality.
Conclusion In short, the reporting quality of observational studies in MPH’s dissertations in China is suboptimal. However, it’s necessary to improve the reporting of method and results sections. We recommend that authors should be stricter to adhere STROBE statement when conducting observational studies.

Background: Fanconi anemia (FA) is the most common inherited bone marrow failure (BMF) syndrome with 22 related genes identified. The ALDH2 rs671variant has been proved related to accelerate the progression of BMF in FA patients. The phenotype and genetic basis of Chinese FA patients have not been investigated yet.
Methods: We analyzed the 22 FA-related genes of 63 BMF patients suspected to be FA.Clinical manifestations, morphological and cytogenetic feathers, ALDH2 genotypes, treatment, and outcomes of the definite cases were retrospectively studied.
Results: A total of 21 patients were confirmed the diagnosis of FA with the median age of BMF onset was 4-year-old. The number of patients manifested as congenital malformations and growth retardation were 20/21 and 14/21, respectively. BM dysplasia and cytogenetic abnormalities were found in 13/20 and 8/19 patients. All the patients with abnormal karyotypes also manifested as BM dysplasia or had evident blasts. Thirty-five different mutations were identified involving six genes and including twenty novel mutations. FANCA mutations contributed to 66.67% of cases. Eight patients harboring ALDH2 -G/A genotype have a significantly younger age of BMF onset ( p =0.025). Within the 19 patients adhering to continuous follow-up, 15 patients underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCTs). During the 29 months of follow-up, 8/19 patients died, seven of which were HSCT-related, and one patient who did not receive HSCT died from severe infection.
Conclusion: The phenotypic and genetic spectrum of Chinese FA patients is broad. Bone marrow dysplasia and cytogenetic abnormalities are prevalent and highly consistent. The overall outcome of HSCTs is disappointing. Nationwide multicenter studies are needed for the rarity and adverse outcome of this disease.

Abstract
Background: Agroforestry system is regarded as a promising practice in sustainable agricultural management. However, the effects of long-term tree-based intercropping on crop remain poorly understood, especially in the Loess Plateau. In this study, the impacts of photosynthetic and respiration rate were determined by the portable photosynthesis system (Li-6400), and the effects of the root growth dynamics of soybean in walnut-soybean intercropping system were measured by soil auger and WinRHIZO root analysis system, in the Loess Plateau.
Results: The results showed that soybean reached the highest net photosynthetic rate during flowering period, with the net photosynthetic rate of intercropped soybean, which was 20.40µmol·m-2·s-1, significantly higher than that of its monocropped counterpart. Soybean biomass reached the maximum during the pod-bearing period, with intercropped soybean biomass being 25.49g, significantly higher than that of its monocropped counterpart. The mean diameter and increased density of soybean fine roots reduced along with increased soil depth. Both the diameter (0.43mm) and increased density (930cm/dm3) of intercropped soybean fine roots were evidently higher than those of monocropped soybean(0.35mm, 780cm/dm3). With increasing cropping years, fine roots of intercropped soybean tended to be mainly distributed in soil at a depth between 0 and 20cm from the fifth year.
Conclusion: Collectively, compared with soybean monoculture, walnut soybean agroforestry system is more conducive to soybean growth in the Loess Plateau.
The prognostic value of IDO expression in solid tumors: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Wang Sen , Wu Jia , Shen Han , Wang Junjun
Published: June 2020

Background: Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the metabolism of tryptophan into kynurenine. It is considered to be an immunosuppressive molecule that plays an important role in the development of tumors. However, the association between IDO and solid tumor prognosis remains unclear. Herein, we retrieved relevant published literature and analyzed the association between IDO expression and prognosis in solid tumors. Methods: Studies related to IDO expression and tumor prognosis were retrieved using PMC, EMbase and web of science database. Overall survival (OS), time to tumor progression (TTP) and other data in each study were extracted. Hazard ratio (HR) was used for analysis and calculation, while heterogeneity and publication bias between studies were also analyzed. Results: A total of 31 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, high expression of IDO was significantly associated with poor OS (HR 1.92, 95% CI 1.52–2.43, P <0.001) and TTP (HR 2.25 95% CI 1.58–3.22, P <0.001). However, there was significant heterogeneity between studies on OS (I 2 =81.1%, P <0.001) and TTP (I 2 =54.8%, P =0.007). Subgroup analysis showed lower heterogeneity among prospective studies, studies of the same tumor type, and studies with follow-up periods longer than 45 months. Conclusions: The high expression of IDO was significantly associated with the poor prognosis of solid tumors, suggesting that it can be used as a biomarker for tumor prognosis and as a potential target for tumor therapy.

Background: Low temperature is a major factor influencing the growth and development of Chinese jujube ( Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) in cold winter and spring. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms enabling jujube to cope with different freezing stress conditions. To elucidate the freezing-related molecular mechanism, we conducted comparative transcriptome analysis between ‘Dongzao’ (low freezing tolerance cultivar) and ‘Jinsixiaozao’ (high freezing tolerance cultivar) using RNA-Seq.
Results: More than 20,000 genes were detected at chilling (4°C) and freezing (-10°C, -20°C, -30°C and -40°C) stress between the two cultivars. The numbers of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two cultivars were 1831, 2030, 1993, 1845 and 2137 under the five treatments. Functional enrichment analysis suggested that the metabolic pathway, response to stimulus and catalytic activity were significantly enriched under stronger freezing stress. Among the DEGs, nine participated in the Ca 2+ signal pathway, thirty-two were identified to participate in sucrose metabolism, and others were identified to participate in the regulation of ROS, plant hormones and antifreeze proteins. In addition, important transcription factors ( WRKY , AP2 / ERF , NAC and bZIP ) participating in freezing stress were activated under different degrees of freezing stress.
Conclusions: Our research first provides a more comprehensive understanding of DEGs involved in freezing stress at the transcriptome level in two Z. jujuba cultivars with different freezing tolerances. These results may help to elucidate the molecular mechanism of freezing tolerance in jujube and also provides new insights and candidate genes for genetically enhancing freezing stress tolerance.
