Perceptions of Men regarding Voluntary Circumcision at a Male Clinic in Lesotho
Authors: Moabi Pule Solomon , Mavundla Thandisizwe Redford
Published: November 2018

The prevalence of medical male circumcision in Lesotho remains low even though efforts are made to encourage men to be circumcised. In Lesotho, as one of the countries with a high prevalence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), male circumcision aims at reducing new infections and averting AIDS-related deaths. The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of the perceptions of men regarding voluntary medical male circumcision in Morija, Lesotho. A descriptive, explorative and contextual qualitative study was conducted using in-depth unstructured individual interviews with 10 uncircumcised men who are aged between 29 to 83 years. Teschâ€™s method of descriptive data analysis revealed the following themes: (1)Â perceived health beliefs (protection from diseases, sexual beliefs and personal hygiene), (2)Â perceived community-held beliefs (stigma, traditional and religious obligation), (3)Â menâ€™s knowledge regarding circumcision, and (4)Â perceived misconceptions about circumcision (the right time for circumcision, myths and contraindications to circumcision). Men voiced their opinion that circumcision reduces their chances of being infected with HIV even though they are not circumcised. Improved sexual pleasure tends to be in the mindset of uncircumcised men as they perceive circumcision as improving sexual pleasure. It was therefore concluded that menâ€™s perceptions of circumcision are diverse. The uptake of male circumcision depends on influencing the perceptions of men, facilitating access of circumcision services, and ensuring a supportive social support system for uncircumcised men. There is a need to upgrade already existing circumcision policies to include the above.

Published: November 2018

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is one of the most important techniques for depositing thin films of the group 13 nitrides (13-Ns), AlN, GaN, InN and their alloys, for electronic device applications. The standard CVD chemistry for 13-Ns use ammonia as the nitrogen precursor, however, this gives an inefficient CVD chemistry forcing N/13 ratios of 100/1 or more. Here we investigate the hypothesis that replacing the N-H bonds in ammonia with weaker N-C bonds in methylamines will permit better CVD chemistry, allowing lower CVD temperatures and an improved N/13 ratio. Quantum chemical computations shows that while the methylamines have a more reactive gas phase chemistry, ammonia has a more reactive surface chemistry. CVD experiments using methylamines failed to deposit a continuous film, instead micrometer sized gallium droplets were deposited. This study shows that the nitrogen surface chemistry is most likely more important to consider than the gas phase chemistry when searching for better nitrogen precursors for 13-N CVD.

Published: November 2018

This work aims to develop an enhanced Perturbation based Variable Neighborhood Search with Adaptive Selection Mechanism (PVNS ASM) to solve the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP). This approach combined Perturbation based Variable Neighborhood Search (PVNS) with Adaptive Selection Mechanism (ASM) to control perturbation scheme. Instead of stochastic approach, selection of perturbation scheme used in the algorithm employed an empirical selection based on success rate of each perturbation scheme along the search. The ASM helped algorithm to get more diversification degree and jumping from local optimum condition using most successful perturbation scheme empirically in the search process. A comparative analysis with existing heuristics in the literature has been performed on 21 CVRP benchmarks. The computational results proof that the developed method is competitive and very efficient in achieving high quality solution within reasonable computation time.

Published: November 2018

Segmentation is the major area of interest in the field of image processing stage. In an automatic diagnosis of acute leukemia disease, the crucial process is to achieve the accurate segmentation of acute leukemia blood image. Generally, there are three requirements of image segmentation for medical purposes, namely; accuracy, robustness and effectiveness which have received considerable critical attention. As such, we propose a new (modified) dark contrast enhancement technique to enhance and automatically segment the acute leukemic cells. Subsequently, we used a fusion 7 × 7 median filter as well as the seeded region growing area extraction (SRGAE) algorithm to minimise the salt-and-pepper noise, apart from preserving the post-segmentation edge. As per the outcomes, the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of this method were 91.02%, 83.68%, and 91.57% respectively.

The billing process of an energy distributor in Brazil is connected to reading energy consumption logistics. An efficient, balanced and capacity enabled process has benefits with cost reducing and quality perception of the service provided. In capacitated clustering, the elements are associated with weights for construction of groups with limited capacities. This paper presents an approach to the capacitated clustering problem, applied to the consumer unit measurement groups organization in Brazil's energy distributors companies. The process of creating those measurement groups, in general, is carried out manually by expert analysts. The purpose of this problem modality is to create partitions that minimize the internal dispersion of the associated group. In this work, the RCMeans method, which is based on the K-Means technique applied to data groupings with the inclusion of the capacity constraint for the group definition, is presented. The obtained results show a comparison between the current situation and the result with the proposed method, under the cohesion analysis, separation, number of groups, silhouette index, and consumer units measurement mean time of the groups.

Recently the Indonesian people often get inefficiency of electricity usage. On the other side, in Indonesia, the electricity is mostly produced from steam power plant, which require fuel from non-renewable natural resources. So the highness of demand and the occurrence of inefficiency the electricity usage can increase the consumption of natural resource and the air pollution. Therefore, an early warning system are proposed in this study, become one of the various solution than can increase awareness of the people in efficiency of electricity usage. This system requires the input data of electricity usage in the last 6 months, that will be formed the electricity usage trend from each user using linear regression analysis. Furthermore, this trend will predict the electricity usage for next month, this is used as the limit to give the warning from the system. The outcome from this study is the system that can provide a warning to users if their electricity usage run over the certain limits.

Značaj i uloga ustavnog suda u demokratskoj tranziciji – primjer Južnoafričke Republike
Authors: Zlatić Vedran
Published: November 2018

Ustavni sud, još od vremena uvođenja ove institucije u pravni sustav, ima značajnu ulogu u ustavno-pravnom sustavu. S vremenom značaj ove institucije se povećavao. Tako Ustavni sud polako postaje nezaobilazan akter u kreiranju najvažnijih političkih i pravnih procesa u državi. Jedan od najočitijih primjera ovakvog širokog značaja Ustavnog suda je slučaj demokratske tranzicije u Južnoafričkoj Republici tijekom 90-ih godina prošloga stoljeća. Naime, tada je Ustavni sud Južnoafričke Republike imao jednu od glavnih uloga u usmjeravanju, ali i kreiranju novoga ustavnopravnog okvira koji je za svrhu imao osigurati uspješnu tranziciju. Zapravo, može se kazati, da je sam Ustavni sud sudjelovao u kreiranju novoga ustavnog uređenja, što svakako predstavlja raritetan primjer ovakve uloge ove institucije u cijelom procesu ustavne izgradnje određene države. Naravno, pored Ustavnog suda uspostavljeni su i drugi institucionalni i pravni mehanizmi u svrhu što lakšeg i uspješnijeg prijelaza iz sustava apartheida u demokraciju. Mnogi od njh su preuzeti iz drugih sustava te prilagođeni potrebama i društvenim okolnostima Južnoafričke Republike. Sukladno tome, iskustvo ove države i njena rješenja mogu poslužiti kao uzor drugim državama koje se nalaze u postupku vlastite demokratske tranzicije.

On the other hand, skill is a component of competency which includes other components (knowledge and attitude).Originality/Value: The value of this paper lies in its identification and discussion on review of the views and position on the concepts of information competency and literacy. It also brings together scholars and schools of thought ideology on information literacy competency which is expected to aid those in quest for knowledge.
Carbon fueling complex global value chains tripled in the period 1995-2012
Authors: Hertwich Edgar
Published: November 2018

Complex global value chains are those involving more than two countries and imply that a country imports products as capital goods or intermediate inputs to the production of its exports. When tracing the life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of traded products, for example for border carbon adjustments, such emissions are counted at each border crossing. The prevalence and dynamics of this phenomenon have been poorly understood. This paper shows that GHG emissions associated with the production of imports used for producing exports have risen rapidly from 1995, peaking in 2012 and declining slightly to 2016. They now constitute a total of 4.4 PgCO2equ. or 10% of global emissions. The most important exported products in terms of emissions associated with imported inputs are chemicals, vehicles, machinery, and information and communications technology (ICT). Crude petroleum, iron and steel, chemicals, and ICT components are the imported products being used for this export production. A driver analysis indicates that in industrialized countries, the declining domestic value added in exports and increasing share of exports in GDP have contributed most to this development, while in emerging economies, the growth of GDP itself has been an important driving factor, while declines in the energy intensity of export production have provided a weak counterbalance. The importance of transiting carbon raises questions of how climate policies affect industrial competitiveness and how border tax adjustment would account for such emissions.

Partikel nano TiO2 berbasis air dengan pH basa telah berhasil disintesis dengan menggunakan metode sol-gel dan diimobilisasi pada kain kapas dengan menggunakan kitosan sebagai zat pengikat silang. Sintesis dilakukan  dengan prekursor TiCl4 pada konsentrasi 0,3 M, 0,5 M dan 1 M, dan menggunakan templat kanji dengan proses kalsinasi pada suhu 500˚C selama 2 jam. Partikel nano TiO2 diaplikasikan ke kain kapas dengan metoda pad-dry-cure dan menggunakan kitosan sebagai crosslinking agent. Berdasarkan hasil Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM),diketahui bahwa morfologi partikel TiO2 berbentuk spherical dengan ukuran nano (kurang dari 100 nm). Karakterisasi X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) menunjukkan adanya tiga tipe struktur kristal utama, yaitu (100), (101) dan (102) dengan fasa kristal yang terbentuk adalah anatase dan rutile. Pada karakterisasi menggunakan SEM terhadap serbuk dari TiO2 yang telah diaplikasikan ke permukaan kain kapas, terlihat adanya imobilisasi partikel nano TiO2 melalui ikatan hidrogen silang dengan kitosan pada kain kapas. Hasil analisa tersebut kemudian dikonfirmasi dengan FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red) yang hasilnya memperlihatkan puncak serapan pada bilangan gelombang 3495 cm-1, 2546 cm-1, dan 511 cm-1,  yang masing-masing diasumsikan sebagai adanya vibrasi gugus fungsi O-H, N-H dan Ti-O-Ti. Hasil SEM menunjukkan pula bahwa kristal nano yang terbentuk diantaranya adalah fasa rutile , yang berdasarkan literatur terbukti dapatberfungsi sebagai anti UV.

Paecilomyces is a fungus that parasites on various insect species. However, Paecilomyces has not been widely studied and applied in Vietnam. In this study, Paecilomyces spp. were isolated from several agricultural soils and identified based on the morphology and 28S rDNA gene sequencing. Biocontrol activities of Paecilomyces were measured in vitro against Spodoptera litura. The Paecilomyces strains with high biocontrol were studied for the spore acquisition on semi-solid culture. There were five isolated strains belonged to Paecilomyces (strain F01 belonged to P. javanicus, strain F02 belonged to Paecilomyces sp., strain F03 belonged to P. lilacinum and strains F04 and F05 belonged to P. lilacinus) from 33 different samples. In particular, both of F03 and F04 performed high biocontrol activity against S. litura after 10 days of inoculation. Optimization of spores production medium showed that F03 and F04 grew well on a defined semi-solid medium whose the main components were unpolished rice, wheat bran and husk of 55% humidity. The results indicated that the native strains of Paecilomyces were potential for applications to produce bioproducts for pest management strategies.
