Authors: Ayana Zewde , Wirtu Deselegn , Etana Belachew , Beakuma Tariku Tesfaye
Published: August 2019

Background

majority of neonate and maternal death is occurring in the first week of delivery. Therefore, utilization of postnatal care within the first week of delivery is essential to increase the survival of both a mother and newborn. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess the use of postnatal care in the first week of delivery and factors associated among women who gave birth in the last six weeks.

Method

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the Dano District, one of the remotest districts in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. A total of 274 women who gave birth during the last six weeks and selected using random sampling method were included in the study. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with the utilization of postnatal care within the first week of delivery. Finding with a p-value less than 0.05 is considered a statistically significant association.

Result

early postnatal care utilization is found to be (within the first week of delivery) was 23.7 percent. Mother given appointment after delivery [AOR=4.84, 95% CI= (1.46, 16.1)], have used postnatal care previous [AOR= 7.4, 95% CI= (2.9, 18.5)] and aware of postnatal care within first week of delivery [AOR=4.27, 95% CI= (1.46, 12.49)] were more likely to use the postnatal care within first week. The qualitative finding indicated traditional beliefs during postpartum also found to affect the use of postnatal care.

Conclusion

The utilization of postnatal care within first week of delivery in was low in the district. Therefore, creating awareness on the benefits of early postnatal care, and designing of strategies to decrease the effect of traditional belief on postnatal care recommended to improve the coverage.

Published: August 2019

The wild nature of plant and the presence of the secondary compounds e.g., Resin and phenolic compound make DNA extraction problematic. Some of them will co-precipitate with DNA during extraction and inhibit further enzymatic modification of the DNA. Furthermore large amounts of complex polysaccharides also make extraction of usable DNA impossible. Previously reported protocols yielded highly viscous and slimy DNA preparations that were not amenable to further analysis. We tried many commonly used protocols but were unable to isolate high quality DNA from the gum containing plant Bosweliia sacra. We did extensive optimization of the Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide \(CTAB) protocol established by Doyle in 1987 to extract DNA which is feasible for PCR amplification. In this study, we have specifically tested the previously developed CTAB based protocols developed by I Haque adapted for Commiphora wightii and Bipin Deochand Lade protocol developed for Passiflora foetida. Both are developed for plants, which contain high amount of secondary metabolites, polysaccharides and phenolic compounds. Furthermore, we investigate the possibility to extract DNA from resin producing plants which is feasible for downstream application. To our knowledge, this is the first optimized protocol which a rapid and less laborious method for the extraction of DNA from Boswellia species \(Boswellia sacra and Boswellia elongata found in Oman and Yemen respectively) which are resin \(Luban) producing plant. The isolated DNA by the currently optimized protocol were suitable for polymerase chain reaction \(PCR) mediated amplification for applications genetic diversity and DNA barcoding.

Published: August 2019

Current methods for determining membrane protein association in cells are either very time consuming, require complicated procedures, or lack the sensitivity needed to assess the effect of concentration or ligand binding on the observed oligomerization. To overcome these limitations, we provide a detailed protocol for quantifying the relative abundance and stability of oligomers of differing sizes using two-dimensional fluorescence intensity fluctuation (2D-FIF) spectrometry. The approach can be implemented using a standard laser scanning fluorescence microscope along with custom written software for image analysis. This method may be applied to evaluate the extent of oligomerization as a function of receptor concentration and is particularly suited to assess the effects of agonists and antagonists on the oligomeric size of membrane receptors of interest.
HetEnc: A Deep Learning Predictive Model for Multi-type Biological Dataset
Authors: Wu Leihong , Liu Xiangwen , Xu Joshua
Published: August 2019

Background: Researchers today are generating unprecedented amounts of biological data. One trend in current biological research is integrated analysis with multi-platform data. Effective integration of multi-platform data into the solution of a single or multi-task classification problem; however, is critical and challenging. In this study, we proposed HetEnc, a novel deep learning-based approach, for information domain separation.

Results: HetEnc includes both an unsupervised feature representation module and a supervised neural network module to handle multi-platform gene expression datasets. It first constructs three different encoding networks to represent the original gene expression data using high-level abstracted features. A six-layer fully-connected feed-forward neural network is then trained using these abstracted features for each targeted endpoint. We applied HetEnc to the SEQC neuroblastoma dataset to demonstrate that it outperforms other machine learning approaches. Although we used multi-platform data in feature abstraction and model training, HetEnc does not need multi-platform data for prediction, enabling a broader application of the trained model by reducing the cost of gene expression profiling for new samples to a single platform. Thus, HetEnc provides a new solution to integrated gene expression analysis, accelerating modern biological research.
Severe odontogenic infections with septic progress - a constant and increasing challenge: a retrospective analysis
Authors: Weise Hannes , Naros Andreas , Weise Christina , Reinert Siegmar , Hoefert Sebastian
Published: August 2019

ABSTRACT
Background
More than 90% of all infections in the head and neck region can be traced back to an odontogenic origin. In rare cases they can lead to sepsis, which may pose a vital threat to the patient. The purpose of this study was to analyse characteristics concerning etiology and progress of severe odontogenic infections with a fulminant development.
Methods
All patients with odontogenic infections requiring hospital admission were included in a retrospective analysis conducted from 02/2012 to 09/2017. Of 483 patients 16 patients (13 male, 3 female) showed severe exacerbation with septic progress. The average age was 52.8 years. All patients underwent at least one surgical procedure that involved an extraoral incision and drainage as well as high volume irrigation intraoperatively. At least one revision was required for four of the patients. Three patients showed an exceedingly severe disease progression with multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and circulatory arrest. Antibiotic treatment was adjusted according to the results of an antibiogram and resistogram. Irrigation with saline was done several times a day.
Results
Sixteen patients showed odontogenic infections that spread over multiple maxillo-facial and cervical regions accompanied by septic laboratory signs. All these patients needed intensive care and a tracheostomy. The hospitalization period was 27.8 days on average. In 16 cases risk factors for the development of odontogenic abscesses like diabetes mellitus, obesity, chronic alcohol and nicotine abuse, rheumatism and poor oral hygiene were present. Intraoperative swabs showed a typical polymicrobial aerobic and anaerobic spectrum of oral bacteria, especially anaerobes and streptococci, mainly Streptocococcus viridans.
Conclusion
Odontogenic infections with fulminant progression should be treated based on clinical and imaging data with immediate surgical incision and drainage including elimination of odontogenic foci as well as intensified intra- and postoperative irrigation. If needed, repeat imaging followed by further incisions should be performed. Immediate antibiotic treatment adapted to the antibiogram is of utmost importance. A combination of tazobactam and piperacillin has proven to be a good first choice and can be recommended for abscesses that spread over multiple levels with initial signs of severe infections.

Authors: Elguindy Alaa , Hemeda Hosam , Shawky Mohamed Esmat , Nawara Maii , Elsenity Mohamed , Elsayed Medhat Adel , Fahim Ahmed , Afifi Khaled
Published: August 2019

Background: It is unclear whether transverse uterine incision is non-inferior to longitudinal incision during myomectomy with regard to bleeding. Our aim was to compare between transverse and longitudinal uterine incisions in myomectomy.
Methods: A parallel randomized controlled single-blinded study in a university affiliated hospital, in the period between January 2017 and April 2018, in which 52 women candidates for abdominal myomectomy were randomized into transverse uterine incision or longitudinal uterine incision groups (26 in each group). Intraoperative blood loss (estimated directly by blood volume in suction bottle and linen towels and indirectly by difference between preoperative and postoperative hematocrit), operative time and postoperative fever were analyzed.

Results: No statistically significant difference was found between transverse and longitudinal incisions regarding intraoperative blood loss (389.7 ± 98.56 ml vs 485.04 ± 230.6 ml respectively, p value=0.07), operative time (59.96 ± 16.78 min vs 66.58 ± 17.33 min respectively, p value=0.18), and postoperative fever (4% vs 8.33%, p value=0.6).
Conclusion: Transverse uterine incision does not cause more blood loss than longitudinal incision and is a reasonable option during abdominal myomectomy.

Published: August 2019

Background

As ageing emerges as the next public health threat in Africa, there is a paucity of information on how prepared its health systems are to provide geriatric friendly care services. In this study, we explored the readiness of Uganda’s public health system to provide geriatric friendly care services in Southern Central Uganda.

Methods

Four districts with the highest proportion of old persons in Southern Central Uganda were purposively selected, and a cross section of 18 randomly selected health facilities (HFs) were visited and assessed for availability of key items deemed important for provision of geriatric friendly services; as derived from World Health Organization’s Age-friendly primary health care centres toolkit. Data was collected using an adapted health facility geriatric assessment tool, entered into Epi-data software and analysed using STATA version 14. Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn’s post hoc tests were conducted to determine any associations between readiness, health facility level and district.

Results

The overall readiness index was 16.92 (SD ±4.19) (range 10.8 - 26.6). This differed across districts; Lwengo 17.91 (SD ±3.15), Rakai 17.63 (SD ±4.55), Bukomansimbi 16.51 (SD ±7.18), Kalungu 13.74 (SD ±2.56) and facility levels; Hospitals 26.62, Health centers four (HCIV) 20.05 and Health centers three (HCIII) 14.80. Low readiness was due to poor scores with regard to; leadership (0%), financing (0%), human resources (1.7%) and health management information systems (HMIS) (11.8%) WHO building blocks. Higher level HFs were statistically significantly friendlier than lower level HFs (p= 0.015). The difference in readiness between HCIIIs and HCIVs was 2.39 (p=0.025).

Conclusion

There is low readiness of public health facilities to provide geriatric friendly care services in Uganda. This is due to gaps in all of the health system building blocks. There is a need for health system reforms in Uganda to adequately cater for service provision for old people if the 2020 global healthy ageing goal is to be met.
Conocimiento, poder y desarrollo: una visión a partir del pensamiento decolonial de Arturo Escobar
Authors: Losada Cubillos John Jairo
Published: August 2019

La visión del conocimiento que se establece en tierras latinoamericanas, se encuentra dirigida por criterios eurocéntricos (de carácter científico, mecanicista, y racional) que no dan lugar a formas del conocer alternativas y endógenas a otras regiones, convirtiéndose así en una forma de someter, asir, dominar, objetivar, manipular, etc. Esta critica encierra lo que actualmente en el pensamiento latinoamericano se ha denominado teoría postcolonial o pensamiento decolonial, a saber, propuestas éticas, epistémicas, políticas, económicas, entre otras, que permiten desestructurar o deconstruir patrones de poder como el del conocimiento eurocéntrico. Este trabajo de deconstrucción es un esfuerzo extraordinariamente vigoroso y multifacético que se ha venido produciendo en diferentes lugares de América Latina. De aquí que Escobar, presente la idea de postdesarrollo, como un concepto y práctica social a partir de la cual la multiplicidad de actores sociales resignifican la cultura, la economía y la política.
Composite of chitosan and Bentonite as coagulant agents in removing turbidity from Ismailia canal as water treatment plant.
Authors: Marey A.
Published: August 2019

The use of chemical coagulants is not suitable due to health and economic considerations. In the last time, the use of natural additives that are biocompatible, are biodegradable, have low toxicity and are from renewable resources attracted the attention of many types of research due to their high ability to retain different pollutants from wastewaters. Ismaili Canal is one of the most important tributaries of the River Nile in Egypt. This study successfully proved the effectiveness of the combination of chitosan and bentonite as a coagulating agent in the (Ismailia canal) for the wastewater treatment process. Chitosan and Bentonite were known as coagulant agents, thus were used in this study. Laboratory tests were conducted to test the water quality based on turbidity values and basic drinking water parameters. Chitosan and Bentonite can be applied on (Ismailia canal) resulting in a turbidity removal 97.7% at 30 minutes. The optimal dosage of bentonite(clay) combined with chitosan(polymer) was 5 and 1mg/L at PH=7.4.

Published: August 2019

This work presents a comparative study of the chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from two varieties of Centrolobium paraense (orinocense EO o and paraense EO p) from Venezuela. GC analyzed the oils, and the constituents were identified by GC-MS and retention indices. Eighteen compounds were identified in EO o, which made up 88.9 % of the oil, but only sixteen compounds were identified in EO p, which made up 95.5 % of the total oil. β-caryophyllene (35.1 %) and -humulene (35.3 %) are the main constituents of EO p. The main constituents of EO o are α-humulene (24.8 %), β-caryophyllene (14.3 %), caryophyllene oxide (18.33 %), and humulene epoxide II (16.86 %). The biological activity of both oils was assayed. They were found to be equally active against Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis, with MIC of 100 and 600 μL/mL respectively. This is the first report describing the chemical composition of the essential oil of these species and their antibacterial activity.
Synthesis and characterization of a Nitrogenase-cofactor biomimetic based on molybdenum complexes with a polydentate-N5 ligand.
Authors: Jiménez-Guailla Steven , Chicaiza-Lemus Michelle , Saucedo-Vázquez Juan Pablo
Published: August 2019

Nitrogen fixation is an outstanding process in which atmospheric molecular nitrogen is reduced to ammonia, which is easier to assimilate by the plants. Due to the challenge to understand the nitrogen fixation process in vivo conditions, biomimetic compounds have been synthesized to perform the reduction of nitrogen in softest environments than in the Haber process. Thus, the purpose of this work is the synthesis and characterization of new molybdenum complexes with polydentate nitrogenated ligands and the evaluation of those complexes as possible dinitrogen reductants.
An Economic Philosophy towards the Axiological Good via Taxation
Authors: Ye Fred Y.
Published: August 2019

Using synthetic epistemological model with axiological framework, it is revealed that tax reduction is good policy when tax rate is lower than normal, and that tax increase is good policy when tax rate is higher than normal, during economic overheat. Meanwhile, it is found that tax reduction is good policy when tax rate is higher than normal and that tax increase is good policy when tax rate is lower than normal, during economic depression. Around two economic issues: 1) how to distribute social wealth between rich agents and poor ones, as well as nations and enterprises? 2) how to maintain social justice via making balance between equality and efficiency? It is suggested to apply elastic tax system towards the axiological good in social economy.
Philosophical Practice Following Foucault
Authors: Erlenbusch-Anderson Verena
Published: August 2019

This paper develops a heuristic of different modes of philosophical engagement with Michel Foucault’s work with the aim to aid self-reflection about contemporary uses of Foucault. Drawing on debates in the history of philosophy, I describe contextualism, appropriationism, and methodologism as three strands of Foucault scholarship. I then examine queer and feminist philosophical engagements with Foucault to explicate and illustrate the aims and strengths of each strand. I conclude by spelling out the larger implications for different uses of Foucault for philosophical practice and make the case for a methodological pluralism that draws on all available modes of inquiry.

Turbidite sedimentology, biostratigraphy and paleoecology: A case study from the Oligocene Zuberec Fm. (Liptov Basin, Central Western Carpathians)
Authors: Starek Dušan , Šimo Vladimír , Antolíková Silvia , Fuksi Tomáš
Published: August 2019

Outcrops of a thick turbiditic succession are exposed on the northern bank of the Liptovská Mara reservoir near Liptovská Ondrašová and Ráztoky. The section consists of rhythmic, predominantly thin- to medium-bedded turbidites of the Rupelian age. Their biostratigraphy is based on the calcareous nannofossils. Facies associations of these deposits represent different components of depositional lobe deposits in the turbidity fan system, including mainly the lobe fringe and lobe distal fringe/inter-lobe facies associations and locally the medium bedded deposits of the lobe off-axis facies association. This interpretation is supported by statistical analysis. The deep-sea turbiditic deposits contain trace fossil associations, which include deep-tier fodinichnia and domichnia up to shallow-tier graphoglyptids. Paleocurrent measurements indicate that the majority of sedimentary material was transported from SW and W.
Oligocene turbidite fans of the Dukla Basin: New age data from the calcareous nannofossils and paleoenvironmental conditions (Cergowa beds, Polish–Slovakian borderland)
Authors: Pszonka Joanna , Žecová Katarína , Wendorff Marek
Published: August 2019

Calcareous nannofossils found in the Cergowa beds of the Dukla and Fore-Dukla tectonic units in the Outer Carpathians indicate a time of deposition in the range of the NP23–NP24 nannoplankton zones of the Lower Oligocene. Nannoplankton assemblages reflect the paleoecological changes at the Eocene–Oligocene transition from: (i) a greenhouse to an icehouse climate; (ii) brackish to normal salinity suggesting open sea conditions, which were controlled by the Paratethys Basin closure followed by opening and connection with the Tethyan Ocean. The absence of nannofossils of NP25 zone, but their presence in the tectonic windows between 40 and 80 km to the west, shows that deposition of the Cergowa beds in the western part of the basin lasted longer than in the east. Occurrences of nannofossils indicating zones NP16 and NP21, found in the uppermost mudstone-rich parts of studied sections, may prove the remobilization and redeposition of sediments of this stratigraphic age. Potentially, eroded material could be derived from some of the following lithostratigraphic units: NP16 — the Hieroglyphic beds, Przybyszów sandstones and Upper variegated shales; NP21 — the Globigerina marls, Mszanka sandstones and sub-Chert marls and shales and/or fine-grained equivalent of these units. Reworked specimens derived from the older Mesozoic strata occur occasionally in various samples.
Integrated bio- and cyclostratigraphy of Middle Triassic (Anisian) ramp deposits, NW Bulgaria
Authors: Ajdanlijsky George , Strasser André , Götz Annette E.
Published: August 2019

A cyclostratigraphic interpretation of peritidal to shallow-marine ramp deposits of the early Middle Triassic (Anisian) Opletnya Member exposed in outcrops along the Iskar River gorge, NW Bulgaria, is presented. Based on facies trends and bounding surfaces, depositional sequences of several orders can be identified. New biostratigraphic data provide a time frame of the studied succession with placement of the boundaries of the Anisian substages and show that the Aegean (early Anisian) substage lasted about 1.6 Myr. In the corresponding interval in the two studied sections, 80 elementary sequences are counted. Five elementary sequences compose a small-scale sequence. The prominent cyclic pattern of the Opletnya Member can thus be interpreted in terms of Milankovitch cyclicity: elementary sequences represent the precession (20-kyr) cycle and small-scale sequences the short eccentricity (100-kyr) cycle in the Milankovitch frequency band. Medium-scale sequences are defined based on lithology but only in two cases can be attributed to the long eccentricity cycle of 405 kyr. The transgressive-regressive facies trends within the sequences of all scales imply that they were controlled by sea-level changes, and that these were in tune with the climate changes induced by the orbital cycles. However, the complexity of facies and sedimentary structures seen in the Opletnya Member also implies that additional factors such as lateral migration of sediment bodies across the ramp were active. In addition, three major sequence boundaries have been identified in the studied sections, which can be correlated with the boundaries Ol4, An1, and An2 of the Tethyan realm.
Jewish-Christian Dialogue to Nostra Aetate in the Catholic and the Orthodox Churches
Authors: Poirot Eliane
Published: August 2019

Chapter 4 of the Declaration Nostra Aetate of the Second Vatican Council marks a decisive turn of the relations between Catholics and Jews. Numerous books and articles have tried to discuss the application of this declaration 50 years after its proclamation by Pope Paul VI. on October 28, 1965, to take stock. Nostra Aetate has also been recorded by Orthodox theologians, as some articles attest. After skimming the initiated implementation of this chapter through the ensuing Jewish-Catholic dialogue, we will introduce the Jewish Orthodox. We will distinguish the Judeo-Christian dialogue at the universal level and at the local level. For the Jewish-Catholic dialogue at the local level, we will examine the situation in France and for the Jewish-Orthodox dialogue the situation in Romania. In view of the connection between theology and history, we will mention not only the texts related to this dialogue, but also some events that have favored or slowed it down.

Published: August 2019

Currently, the Internet has become a part of the everyday life of human beings. The way of communication between people has changed and social networks are dominating in the lives of everyone. One of the most used social networks is Facebook, but besides that it is used for communication and entertainment, Facebook can also be used for learning. Therefore, the main issue of this paper is the use of Facebook for educational approaches by students and teachers. Case studies are the challenges of integration of Facebook in High Education in the municipality of Kumanovo in the Republic of North Macedonia in 2016. Special emphasis is devoted in usage of Facebook in schools as the main questions were whether students use Facebook to ask for help for assignments or any material, and do teachers use Facebook to post assignments and to communicate with students. To understand this, there are conducted two questionnaires, one to students and one to teachers and interviews with school principals, and finally responses of people who participated have been analyzed. The result is that by joining Facebook in education, students are more motivated to learn, Facebook helps students to learn by sharing knowledge with each other and by using Facebook at school, teachers will find it easier to inform students.
