Published: May 2022

Learning Disabilities (LD) are a type of disability that affects people of normal or above-average intelligence. The ability to learn is harmed, and this could last a lifetime. Some children may have a single learning problem, while others may have multiple learning disorders that overlap. Learning disability may include disabilities in various areas related to reading, language and mathematics. Learning disabled children are a broad collection of kids who may face challenges in a variety of areas. For example, one child with a learning disability may have major reading challenges, whereas another may have no reading difficulty at all but struggles with written communication. Learning difficulties are developmental abnormalities that commonly appear during the course of a child’s schooling. These limitations cause a considerable gap between an individual’s genuine potential and day-to-day performance. The purpose of this study is to provide a taxonomy of the many learning qualities of LD, as well as the types of characteristics that cater to which learning disabilities, and to identify the modalities in which a particular learning disability can be captured. Based on these characteristics , we design an e-learning system to detect the presence of learning disability using machine learning.

Presently for shareholders and other users the financial statements are based on accounting principles and rules that are passed from country to country, in some cases only in one country. Thus, there may be a lack of comparability in the accounting reports. The disadvantage of this situation is that investment analysts and other users who use the financial report have to incur additional costs in the process of analyzing the report because it is structured according to different standards. They may also encounter confusion in the interpretation of reports. As a result of this process, effective competition in the global capital market will deteriorate, and companies will have to bear the high cost of maintaining capital. Most importantly, different amounts of profit for different countries can lead to a loss of confidence in the financial statements.

Epidemiology and risk factors of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia in the Republic of Chad
Authors: BIDJEH Kebkiba
Published: May 2022

Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia is a bacterial infection of goats. It is caused by a bacterium belonging to the Mycoplasmataceae family and the Mycoplasma genus. Causative agent of the disease is Mycplasma capricolum subspecies capripneumoniae (Mccp). This disease causes significant economic losses in Asia and Africa. Because of the very high morbidity and mortality and its socio-economic impact, contagious caprine pleuropneumonia is on the OIE list of notifiable diseases. This disease affects mainly goats and occasionally sheep, but also wild ruminants. Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia is characterized by cough, dyspnoea and very high mortality and morbidity, fibrinous pleuropneumonia, unilateral lung hepatization and accumulation of pleural fluid in the thoracic cavity. Animals are infected by inhalation of dropes expelled by sick animals. Direct contact is essential for infection to occur. The porosity of borders shared with other countries and the lack of financial resources allocated to the national animal disease surveillance system make it difficult to control cross-border livestock movements. This exposes the national herd to various infectious diseases, including contagious caprine pleuropneumonia. Cross-border movements linked to the international trade in animals, to transhumance, as well as to insecurity due to existing hotbeds of tension in African countries, lead to massive movements of herders and animals in search of pastures and water. All of this constitutes risk factors for the introduction and spread of viral and bacterial infections in the countries. The objective of this manuscript is to summarize the epidemiology and risk factors of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia in Chad based on bibliographical data.
Importance of the Scatophagidae family as efficient predators of blowflies (Insecta: Diptera)
Authors: Carlos Henrique Marchiori
Published: May 2022

The biology of the larvae give Scathophagidae is very varied. Most live on dung, hence the family name. Some feed on plants (leaf miners, stem borers, or seed eaters), are aquatic predators, and are predators of other insect larvae in moist environments, such as piles of decaying vegetables, algae, or manure. Adults are predators of other insects. They are often found in flowers where they are usually stalking prey, not looking for pollen or nectar. Indeed, they are one of the most efficient predators of blowflies and for this reason they are considered beneficial insects. The objective of this literature review was to verify the importance of the Scatophagidae Family as efficient predators of blowflies (Insecta: Diptera). With emphasis on conceptual and taxonomic aspects was carried out in the years 1934 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events, Doctoral Thesis and Master's Dissertation were considered. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Scielo Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic, Science.
Rabies in Non-Canine Species: A Retrospective Study of Laboratory Detected Cases in the Sahelian Zone of Cameroon from 2014 To 2020
Authors: Dickmu Jumbo Simon
Published: May 2022

A seven years retro-prospective study (2014–2020) was conducted to determine non-canine rabies cases detected at the LANAVET, in the Northern regions of Cameroon. Information was collected from laboratory registers and reports within the defined period. The main results show that 76/278 (27.3%) non-canine rabies cases have been detected (63/218 in DFAT: 28.9%; 13/60 in PCR: 21.7%). Five groups (Chiroptera: 88.2%; Felines: 6.6%; Primates, Bovidae and Suidae: 5.3%) and ten animal species were concerned. These results highlight the necessity to conduct an active surveillance of rabies in dogs and bats, to minimise other mammal cases.
Physicochemical Properties of Fatty and Low-Fat White Cheese Produced with Cultures Forming Exopolysaccharide
Authors: Demiral Elif
Published: May 2022

In this study, the possibilities of the usage of Exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing cultures in White cheese production have been researched. For this purpose, physical, chemical, were investigated at days 1, 15, 30, 60 and 90 of cheese that produced two replicas with fat and non-fat cow milk via different cultures. It has been detected that the EPS has different effects on full fat and non- fat cheeses. The yields value was he cheese produced with EPS-producing cultures.). In all cheeses, the dry matter ratio was increased during ripening period (p>0.0.5), fat was stable (p>0.0.5), faded proportion was decreased (p>0.0.5), total nitrogen ratio was decreased; water-soluble and 12% TCA-soluble nitrogen ratio and index of ripening and treatable acidity were increased (p>0.0.5 were increased. Also, EPS producing culture was exhibited positive effect on texture and aroma in full-fat cheeses.

Sudden cardiac arrest prediction and resuscitation network: improving the quality of care (PARQ)

PARQ aims to create a network of researchers across Europe whose overall aim is to reduce the societal burden of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). To reach this aim, PARQ will conduct studies that focus on two dimensions: (1) prevention of SCA through the discovery of its inherited, acquired, and environmental causes, and their interaction, and improved recognition of individuals at risk; and (2) improvement of survival chances after SCA through the development and implementation of resuscitation treatments in the community.

Thirst increases astrocytic release and synthesis of D-serine to promote water procurement

SCCMI uses single-cell sequencing to gain a whole-brain understanding of memory and motivational states. Study of thirst revealed the primary transcriptional response in the brain to occur in glial cells. Astrocytes upregulate the expression of an enzyme required to synthesise D-serine, a coagonist of neuronal NMDA-type glutamate receptors. D-serine, in turn, facilitates neural circuits that promote water procurement behaviours.

Counting every tree because every tree counts

This project aims towards a wall-to-wall identification of trees in global drylands and a study of their ecological services and socio-environmental determinants. The project will apply a new generation of satellite imagery at sub-metre resolution and extensive field data in conjunction with fully convolutional neural networks, a deep learning technique being able to identify objects within imagery at unprecedented accuracy. In doing so, we will lay the groundwork for new insights into the contribution of human agency and climate change to the distribution of dryland trees and their role in mitigating degradation, climate change and poverty.

Semakin padat perumahan yang di wilayah perkotaan, akan meningkatkan terjadinya resiko kebakaran. Meningkatnya kebutuhan perumahan tidak selalu disertai dengan kepedulian akan pentingnya pengetahuan tentang cara menanggulangi jika terjadi kebakaran. Parahnya kejadian kebakaran pada pemukiman di perkotaan disebabkan oleh terlambatnya informasi kejadian kebakaran kepada Petugas Pemadam Kebakaran. Terhambatnya kendaraan pemadam mencapai lokasi kebakaran dikarenakan jalan macet, kesulitan memperoleh air, dan lokasi kebakaran yang sulit dijangkau, juga merupakan penyebab kebakaran sulit diatasi. Kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat diberikan kepada warga RW 03 Rejosari Kecamatan Tenayan Raya Kota Pekanbaru dengan tujuan agar dapat menambah wawasan dan keterampilan masyarakat tentang kebakaran. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan dengan memberikan penyuluhan dan pengarahan langsung tentang pengertian dan pentingnya kesadaran kepada masyarakat, apa yang harus dilakukan bila terjadi kebakaran, bagaimana cara menanggulangi kebakaran dini, dan peran serta masyarakat dalam pencegahan kebakaran, serta dilaksanakan praktek langsung dilapangan tentang bagaimana menanggulangi kebakaran. Dalam kegiatan ini terlihat antusias masyarakat dalam menerima informasi yang diberikan. Mereka memberikan tanggapan positif mengenai kegiatan ini. Warga bersemanagat dalam mengikuti cara penggunaan Alat Pemadam Api Ringan (APAR) yang diperagakan. Mereka sebelumnya tidak pernah mendapatkan alat ini. Dengan alat pemadam api dan cara pemadaman yang diberikan kepada warga menjadi satu program pencegahan dan penanggulangan kebakaran yang dapat mereka jadikan sebagai program rutin bagi pemerintahan setempat.
