Published: September 2024

The end of the COVID-19 pandemic allows an analysis in retrospect of the spread and early containment scenarios of the disease. Today we can weigh the diversity of results imposed by highly heterogeneous urban landscapes (both geographical and social). In this research, we address scenarios of one or more communities (neighborhoods) formed by small structures with strong connectivity among themselves (families). Special attention was paid to the early containment of the epidemic. After simulating many scenarios, it was observed that early isolation of the infected individuals is more efficient than the isolation of their entire family. But we also noted that the containment of the disease loses effectiveness if the clinical tests for its detection are reported late (from 1 to 4 days). On the other hand, the existence of neighborhoods (with high population density) complicates the disease containment strategies, since (a) the disease spreads faster due to the highly dense environment, and (b) these act as “hubs of contagion”, even if the disease itself is of low contagiousness.
Long-term mechanical ventilation in a myasthenic patient with suspected obstructive sleep apnea
Authors: Bahaddi A. , Tougar S. , Kherrati Y. , Charra B.
Published: September 2024

Myasthenic crisis is a medical emergency with a very poor prognosis if not treated early and appropriately. In the absence of mechanical ventilation, the respiratory impairment is the most serious aspect of the condition, leading the intensive care anaesthetist to resort to intubation. The association of this disease with sleep apnea syndrome is frequent but little-known, and can make it difficult to disconnect the patient from the ventilator. Making the diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome is difficult because of polysomnography, which is laborious to set up in intensive care, but can be facilitated by the use of a simple questionnaire when there is a strong clinical suspicion. Weaning a patient suffering from neuromuscular disease, whether or not associated with sleep apnea syndrome from mechanical ventilation can be a complex task. When extubation proves impossible, tracheostomy remains the most desirable alternative. The introduction of long-term mechanical ventilation at home is an interesting solution for shortening the long hospital stay of patients in intensive care units, and significantly reduces the risk of infection, morbidity and mortality.

Published: September 2024

Background: Invasive aspergillosis related to COVID-19 or CAPA is defined by the association of a group of histological, mycological, radiological and clinical criteria that establish this disease as a secondary infection of high morbidity without timely diagnosis. Clinical and histological methods, due to the non-specific characterization of the disease, have been supported by techniques based on microbiological methods, such as culture and direct examination, with a sensitivity close to 50%, allowing the identification of biomarkers such as the GM of the pathogen, being the immunological techniques of greater sensitivity and specificity, the use of radial immunodiffusion and ELISA with antigens secreted by Aspergillus spp. are recommended. The objective of this article was to compare three different serological diagnostic methods used in the mycology laboratory to diagnose CAPA in a Venezuelan population. Methods: Based on a longitudinal study, 77 patient samples diagnosed as positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR were analyzed, of which 24 CAPA BAL samples were subsequently evaluated by conventional mycological diagnostic methods (direct examination and culture) and corresponding CAPA serum samples by three serological methods: DID, ELISA with Aspergillus pool antigen, and the Galactomannan detection with Lateral flow (GM- LFA) essay. Results: By microscopy, fungal structures were observed in 18/24 patients and 16/24 were positive for GM-LFA. Regarding the DID assays, precipitating bands were obtained in 21/24 patients with 86% sensitivity; and 97% specificity. To use ELISA technique, shows that 16/24 sera from patients with aspergillosis were positive, which represents 66% sensitivity and 97% specificity. As for GM- LFA, all sera were tested and 16/24 positive sera were obtained with the commercial kit, representing 66% sensitivity and 97% specificity. Conclusions: Finally, when comparing the three tests studied, all techniques were found to be highly sensitive and have excellent specificity, recommending that the diagnosis of CAPA and IPA be based on a combination of diagnostic assays.

Authors: Lin Dan-Yu , Du Yi , Xu Yangjianchen , Paritala Sai , Donahue Matthew , Maloney Patrick
Published: September 2024

Background: The updated Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, and Novavax COVID-19 vaccines containing the SARS-CoV-2 omicron XBB.1.5 strain have replaced their predecessors in the United States and in other countries since the fall of 2023. The clinical impact of these vaccines on currently circulating variants was unknown. Aims: We aimed to assess the effectiveness of the updated XBB.1.5 vaccines against currently circulating omicron subvariants. Methods: We examined data on the administration of XBB.1.5 vaccines and the incidence of COVID-19 between September 11 and November 27, 2023 for approximately 2 million persons by linking records from the Nebraska Electronic Disease Surveillance System and the Nebraska State Immunization Information System. We used Cox regression to estimate the effects of XBB.1.5 vaccines on the risk of COVID-19, as a function of time elapsed since vaccination, while adjusting for demographic factors, previous infection history, and previous vaccination history. Results: The effectiveness (i.e., proportionate reduction of risk) for XBB.1.5 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 infection was 63.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 48.6 to 73.4) 4 weeks after vaccination and 67.1% (95% CI, 49.9 to 78.4) 6 weeks after vaccination; vaccine effectiveness started to decline after 6 weeks. Vaccine effectiveness was broadly similar across subgroups defined by age, sex, race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and previous immunity status. Conclusion: XBB.1.5 vaccines were effective against currently circulating variants, regardless of age, sex, race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or previous immunity status. These findings can be used to develop effective prevention strategies against COVID-19.

Excellence in Advanced cardiac life support and other life support metrics are key items used in measuring the competency of essential personnel. These Life support certifications enable staff to be competent and efficient in providing critical lifesaving interventions to needy patients in a safe and structured manner. While these certifications can be offered by multiple providers, most institutions stick to certain providers due to their international accreditations. While available, their prohibitive cost discourages hospital wide training programs, budgets, and schedule. Internal capacity building has been a key solution to this ever-growing problem. First, recognizing that life support training is an essential part of all critical healthcare providers core competency, and that the competency must be maintained, through frequent training is the first hurdle. Second was developing a training curriculum based on the core skills required to provide life support at the facility, and finally a way of adequately assessing the competency as per the required level for certification. Utilizing a hybrid format of training encompassing participants undergoing an online training module as well as coming for a physical simulation case-based examination. Participants were allowed to take exams multiple times with different case scenarios to achieve a pass mark of 75%. 97 practical examinations for 76 participants were done for both Nurses and doctors over a 3-month period with a first-time success rate of 72%. Following the completion of the training, participants were more comfortable performing life support procedures. With an 80% cost reduction per participant, more staff participation, teamwork, and timely responses to patient resuscitation emergencies, quality in-house, hybrid life support training and certification can be done.
Taxonomy of Anthologies According to the Criteria of Delimitation
Authors: Granell Sales Carles
Published: September 2024

Anthologies have usually been approached in relation to the canon and have usually been criticised for their inclusions and omissions. Yet anthology criticism ought to firstly acknowledge that the selection process stems from a concrete understanding of literature, tradition and its categories–period, genre, theme. These categories applied to the field of anthology-making are referred to as the criteria of delimitation, which condition which texts are apt to be anthologised. For this reason, Menand’s definition of tradition and its categories is set forth alongside Hopkins’s classification of anthologies in order to preserve the latter’s precise divisions–comprehensive, period, and trade anthologies–, to revise its terminology–genre anthology instead of generic anthology–, to demarcate the categories of the criteria of delimitation–critical anthologies are left out because they belong to the realm of the selection process–, and to propose a new class–the denomination of group anthologies for those collections which focus on the representativity of social groups. Thus, the criteria of delimitation, derived from the categories of tradition, offer a possible taxonomy of anthologies: comprehensive, period, genre, trade and group anthologies.
Fundamental Laboratory Guide Book- For University Students in Natural Sciences
Authors: Srivastava Prof. Bajarang Bali Lal , Rusikile Tibyehabwa Mr. Revelian
Published: September 2024

This laboratory book has been prepared to help students taking university studies in natural sciences. The book intends to serve as a guiding book for laboratory based studies in natural sciences, especially chemistry as bridging subject of any other natural science subject.

The first part of the book presents a general format for scientific laboratory report that can be adapted as much as needed by students. The fact is that at the university, laboratory reports are the regular documents written in most laboratorybased studies. However, little time or attention is devoted on how to write them well. Worse yet, each supervisor want something a little different from students. Regardless of variations, the goal of laboratory reports remains the same. The most crucial when writing a laboratory report is to document findings and communicate their significance. With that in mind, students should be able to write laboratory reports based on format by including all basic components. However, writing laboratory report does more than presenting data because it has to bears the writer’s comprehension of the concepts behind the data: identify how and why differences occurred during the experiment, explain how they affected experiment to reflect one understands of the principles of the experiment. The laboratory report format, however helpful, cannot replace clear thinking and organized writing capabilities of individual student, see examples on appendices.

The book describes general aspects related to good practices in the laboratory. It also provides the background information and overview knowledge, skills and procedures required in the preparation of laboratory reagents from stock chemicals. The later chapters discuss key ideas required in referencing various literature resources in a scholarly written work or scientific report. The book also presents concepts and techniques applied in the extraction of secondary metabolites from plant materials, design of experiment, plagiarism cases, type and how to avoid as well as chromatographic methods applicable in the study of natural sciences.
Efficiency of clear aligners vs fixed appliances: A narrative review
Authors: Faatima Naailah , Konda Prasad
Published: September 2024

Clear aligner therapy has emerged as a popular alternative to traditional fixed orthodontic treatment, particularly among adult patients seeking aesthetic and comfortable options. These aligners, made of clear thermoformed plastic, offer advantages such as improved aesthetics, comfort, oral hygiene, and periodontal health compared to fixed appliances. Recent studies have shown that clear aligners can be equally effective as fixed appliances, if not more so, for treating mild to moderate malocclusions, with shorter treatment durations, fewer appointments, and reduced emergency visits. While clear aligners may not be as effective for complex cases requiring additional techniques, advancements in technology have expanded their applicability, allowing for the incorporation of methods used in traditional braces. However, more extensive research is needed to fully understand their impact on oral health and the oral microbiome, spanning all treatment phases from initiation to maintenance. Additionally, various brands of clear aligners with different materials and designs have entered the market, offering alternatives to the widely known Invisalign™, though scientific literature on these alternatives remains limited. This article discusses about the efficacy of clear aligners as compared to fixed appliances in orthodontic treatment.
Orthodontic perspectives of obstructive sleep apnea
Authors: Beg Nazia , Mittal Astitav , Makkar Mohit
Published: September 2024

OSA is defined as a condition in which there is repetitive partial or complete collapse of the pharynx during sleep. An apnea is defined as an almost complete (at least 90%) cessation of airflow, and hypopnea is defined as a reduction in nasal pressure amplitude of at least 50% and/ or a reduction in thoracoabdominal movement of 50% or more for a minimum of 10 seconds. Often, patients first seek an otorhinolaryngologic (ENT) evaluation rather than presenting to a sleep center. Normal sleep involves air passing through and going directly down to the lungs. With an obstructed airway, the structures in the back of the throat (the tongue, the tonsils, and/or adenoids) occlude the airway due to an inadequate motor tone of the tongue and/or airway dilator muscles, and thus, prevent the air from passing. The aetiology is multifactorial, and the main risk factors in children include adenotonsillar hypertrophy, obesity, neuromuscular disorders and craniofacial anomalies. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is the most commonly reported aetiological factor. Therefore, the treatment of choice for paediatric OSA is adenotonsillectomy. In adulthood, the use of oral appliances is a treatment option in the management of OSA

Published: September 2024

Clear aligner are thermoplastic polyurethane materials which produces small increments of tooth movements by each aligner tray. Clinical effectiveness of the treatment largely depend on the mechanical properties of the material. The use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in invitro environment allows to evaluate the surface morphology of the aligners

The aim of the study is to compare the surface roughness of different types of clear aligners after thermoforming and after invitro aging.

A sample of 15 aligners from Group A (DURAN), Group B (ERKODUR), Group C (MONOFLEX) were taken for this study. After screening the subjects were scanned by intraoral scanner and STL file were imported to Maestero 3D software. Then resin models were printed and aligners were fabricated in the models by thermoforming machine. The first set of aligners were scanned by Scanning Electron Microscope and another set of aligners were placed in chewing simulator for simulating intraoral environment. Then the second set of aligners were sent for SEM evaluation.

Mean comparison of surface roughness and root mean square surface roughness was compared by paired t test and comparison among the groups was done by one way ANOVA test.

The surface roughness of both aligners increased after thermoforming. This could be due to thermoforming process which could be due to temperature variation. After the ageing of the aligners in the invitro environment, there is homogenous and smooth layer of the aligner surfaces which could be due to adhesion of biofilm and polishing effect by chewing strokes.

The patient perception of malocclusion is important in determining orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine participant’s perception, attitude, dental awareness, motivation, factors influencing the necessity of treatment and considerations before opting for orthodontic treatment.

A questionnaire-based survey including 14 questions, was conducted for 160 participants who came to OPD of Department of Orthodontics, BBDCODS or at private clinics for any dental problem or those who had queries for orthodontic treatment.

A google form with multiple choice questions was created to assess the patient’s perception of Orthodontic treatment to investigate aesthetic concern, functional problems, psychological concern, Orthodontic awareness, and other reasons for seeking orthodontic treatment.

The data of responses of participants was analysed on google form application itself with the help of spread sheet, pie charts and graphs.

The study revealed that aesthetics was the main concern for getting treatment whereas functional concern was less frequently reported. Patient believed that the treatment could make them more beautiful.

This survey-based questionnaire helped in assessing the patient perception and attitude towards Orthodontic treatment. Aesthetic was the major issue for seeking orthodontic treatment, and also motivating factor for the start of treatment. Cost and duration of the treatment were major barrier for the start of the orthodontic treatment.

Authors: Abisoye Opeyemi Aderiike
Published: September 2024

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a crucial health problem and its mortality rate is higher than that of cancer. It is the damage and death of heart muscle from the sudden blockage of a coronary artery by a blood clot. Although lots of researches have been carried out with impressive performance record for detection of MI, however, existing approaches for MI detection can be improved upon for better performance. A vital piece of medical technology that aids in the diagnosis of a number of heart-related disorders in patients is an electrocardiogram (ECG). To find significant episodes in long-term ECG data, an automated diagnostic method is needed. Cardiologists face a very difficult problem when trying to quickly examine long-term ECG records. To pinpoint critical occurrences, a computer-based diagnosing tool is necessary. In this study we employ Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm with Graph Neural Network (GNN) to select best features and make appropriate classifications. The result of the study gave f1 score of 99.58%, precision of 99.5% and an accuracy of 99.72%. Our proposed model have shown a significant improvement in the detection of MI, this will aid in effectively addressing the challenge of performance drawback in this domain of research.

Estudos contemporâneos são fundamentais para atribuir visibilidade à agricultura familiar na Amazônia paraense. O objetivo deste artigo consiste em caracterizar a formação socioprodutiva (grupos sociais e atividades produtivas) da agricultura familiar na Amazônia paraense. O percurso metodológico deu-se por meio de pesquisa de campo e realização de entrevistas (semiestruturadas) com participantes-chave de instituições públicas e/ou organizações coletivas, com atuação destinada à agricultura familiar paraense, em diferentes territórios (municípios das mesorregiões) do Pará. A agricultura familiar paraense é marcada tanto por heterogeneidade social: povos indígenas, as comunidades quilombolas, a população ribeirinha, os extrativistas, os assentados da reforma agrária, os agricultores familiares, os pescadores artesanais e os acampados quanto por diversificação produtiva de origem vegetal, animal e artesanal: fruticultura, culturas temporárias, culturas permanentes, sistemas agroflorestais, extrativismo, criação de animais de pequeno porte, gado de leite, pesca artesanal (peixe e/ou camarão) e o artesanato do Matapi. Portanto, é impossível desconsiderar a complexidade que envolve a formação socioprodutiva nos territórios de vida: o campo paraense. Por isso, exige-se um desenvolvimento rural territorial e sustentável conforme a heterogeneidade e as potencialidades endógenas da Amazônia paraense.

Published: September 2024

This study examines the development, controversy, and influence of hadith bookkeeping in the Islamic tradition from early times to modern contexts. Hadith, as the second source in the Islamic religious hierarchy after the Quran, played an important role in directing religious practice, the establishment of Islamic law, and understanding of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as well as the early period of Islam. Although it began soon after the death of the Prophet, the process of bookkeeping hadith has been marred by controversies surrounding authority, reliability, and methodology. These controversies include the validity of hadiths, the reliability of narrators, selection criteria, and methodologies of interpretation, as well as political and ideological influences in the bookkeeping process. Through a qualitative approach with literature studies, this study analyzes patterns, themes, and arguments that arise in literature related to history, methodology, and controversy in hadith bookkeeping. The results showed that hadith bookkeeping had a significant role in the development of Islamic thought and practice, despite methodological debates. Hadith bookkeeping remains an important cornerstone in the Islamic tradition, and the advice for the future is to maintain the quality and integrity of the hadith bookkeeping process and pay attention to various perspectives in interpreting and applying hadith in a contemporary context.

The Abbasid Dynasty (750-1258 CE) stands as one of the most illustrious periods in Islamic history, marked by significant advancements in science and literature. These achievements were driven by several factors, including political stability, economic prosperity, and government policies that promoted research and education. During this era, Baghdad, the capital of the caliphate, emerged as the intellectual hub of the world, attracting scholars, philosophers, and writers from diverse backgrounds.Science during the Abbasid Dynasty encompassed various disciplines such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, chemistry, and physics. Muslim scholars not only translated classical works from Greek, Persian, and Indian sources into Arabic but also conducted original research and made substantial innovations. Figures like Al-Khwarizmi, known as the father of algebra, and Al-Razi, a pioneer in medicine, symbolize the scientific achievements of this period.In the realm of literature, the Abbasid era also witnessed remarkable growth. Poetry, prose, and other literary works flourished, with contributions from notable writers such as Al-Jahiz and Al-Mutanabbi. These literary works not only reflect the cultural and intellectual richness of the time but also provide insights into the social and political life under the Abbasid caliphate.Several factors contributed to these advancements, including the presence of large libraries such as the House of Wisdom (Bayt al-Hikma), which served as centers for translation and research, and the patronage of caliphs who supported the development of science and the arts. The synergy between political stability, economic support, and visionary government policies created an environment conducive to the progress of science and literature.Thus, the Abbasid Dynasty not only represents a significant milestone in Islamic history but also greatly contributed to the advancement of human civilization through its achievements in science and literature.

As the digital technologies develop, the multi-modal structures in which multiple modes such as text, sound and image are used concurrently are frequently encountered in daily life. In this sense, the literacy levels of Turkish language teacher candidates who will work on improving their native language skills towards multimodal structures and their pre-disposition towards information and communication technologies they will use in order to use these structures are regarded as significant. The present study aimed to examine Turkish language teacher candidates' multimodal literacy levels and their attitudes towards information and communication technologies in terms of various variables and reveal the relationship between these two variables. The study was a quantitative study and was conducted in accordance with the relational screening model. The data was obtained from a total of 156 students studying at different levels in the Turkish language teaching undergraduate program at a state university. Data were collected with the Multimodal Literacy Scale, developed by Bulut, Ulu and Kan (2015), whose validity and reliability studies were conducted, and were also collected through the Information and Communication Technology Attitude Scale, which was developed by Günbatar (2014) and whose validity and reliability studies were conducted. In an attempt to reveal the relationship between variables, the simple linear relationship coefficient was calculated in the IBM SPSS 21 program. The significance of the scores obtained from the scales by gender and class was examined using the t-test, one of the parametric tests, and the Kruskal Wallis H test, one of the non-parametric tests, based on the normality of the distribution. As far as the results of the study are concerned, it was found that there was a medium-level relationship between Turkish language teacher candidates' attitudes towards information and communication technologies and their levels of multi-modal literacy (.350), and when the relationships between the sub-dimensions of the scales were examined, the two dimensions with the highest correlation coefficient were software use and Expressing oneself using multimodal structures (.541). It was concluded that the ICT attitudes did not differ significantly by the class and gender variables. It was also concluded that the multimodal literacy level demonstrated a significant difference in favor of the female students by gender, and between 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students in favor of 4th year students by the grade variable. The results obtained were considered and various suggestions were made.
Maisons tropicales en bois

Dans la plupart des pays boisés, quel que soit le climat, les maisons en bois sont utilisées. Ces maisons sont particulièrement présentes dans les pays chauds comme le sud du Vietnam, la Guyane française, le Surinam ainsi que dans la partie méridionale des États-Unis d'Amérique.Dans les régions forestières africaines, par contre, les maisons en bois sont plutôt rares. C'est sans doute une conséquence de la préférence des Européens pour la pierre, la brique ou le béton.Les maisons en bois sont pourtant aussi confortables et durent aussi longtemps que les autres maisons. Les risques d'incendie ne sont pas plus importants. De plus, pour un pays boisé, la construction de maisons en bois valorise les ressources locales et stimule le développement de l'industrie locale du bois.Certaines précautions et certaines règles doivent être respectées dans la construction de maisons en bois. En bref, le bois utilisé doit être utilisé selon les qualifications requises et traité contre les parasites du bois. En outre, le bâtiment lui-même doit être bien entretenu.Dès qu'un niveau de production adéquat est atteint et que les maisons en bois sont construites en quantité suffisante par des usines spécialisées, les coûts sont voués à baisser.

Lowita Beach was a tourist area in Suppa District, Pinrang Regency, with 11 tourist attractions. The annual increase in visitors to Lowita Beach can compromise tourist comfort and damage the area's natural habitat. This is the basis for researchers to analyse the Physical Carrying Capacity (PCC) of Lowita Beach. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of tourist activities, assess the physical carrying capacity of the area, and formulate the role of tourist villages in managing the Lowita Beach area. The research approach used was research and development, as initiated by Borg and Gall: the calculation of Physical Carrying Capacity (PCC), area parameters, and the number of tourists.  The study population comprised 93 tourists who visited the Lowita Beach area. Data was collected through the completion of questionnaires, interviews, measurements, and field observations. A quantitative-descriptive approach was used for data analysis. The Physical Carrying Capacity (PCC) analysis reveals that Lowita Beach's ideal capacity is 1 visitor per day, yet it currently hosts an average of 35 visitors daily, significantly surpassing this threshold. This overcapacity indicates that the beach is experiencing environmental strain and underscores the need for management strategies to align visitor numbers with sustainable limits. In conclusion, despite the physical carrying capacity (PCC) of Lowita Beach being 17 visitors per day, the present daily visitor count suggests that the beach is currently facing overcrowding, albeit not to a significant extent. Hence, it is necessary to implement policy interventions from the tourist villages of Tasiwalie and Wiringtasi, which should include the establishment of standardized operating procedures and fostering collaboration among stakeholders, in order to ensure sustainable tourism management at Lowita Beach.

. In this paper, amorphous alloy composition Co69Nb25B6 was prepared by high-energy ball milling which allows the formation of phases through solid state reaction. In addition, the effects of a 21:1 powder to ball mass ratio were used and the milling time during high energy milling was crucial for the formation of the amorphous and ferromagnetic phases. The characterization of the Co69Nb25B6 alloy was investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and hysteresis loops of alloy were measured with a VSM, and exhibited the typical soft magnetic character.

Background: The ability of pregnant women to prevent anemia is influenced by their social environment support, such as family, husband, or health workers. However, it has not been known which sources of support are preferred and needed by pregnant women. Aims: This study aims to explore the support preferred and needed by pregnant women in preventing anemia. Methods: This study was qualitative research with a case study approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 pregnant women at the gestational age starting from 16 weeks who had pregnancy checks at the Sangkrah, Kratonan, and Gilingan Primary Healthcare Centers, Surakarta City. Informants were obtained through a purposive sampling technique. This study used thematic data analysis. Results: Three emerging themes from this study include 1) pregnant women's perceived ability and motivation to prevent anemia; 2) the support needed to prevent anemia; and 3) information technology support for preventing anemia. Some women felt difficulties preventing anemia, especially in consuming IFA tablets and nutritious food; feeling supported and not alone was the motivation to prevent anemia. The most preferred support was from the husband, and the next was health workers. Pregnant women welcome an application with some features to support preventing anemia. Conclusions: Support from husband and health workers is the most preferred. Pregnant women perceive the benefits of using applications that support anemia prevention. It is necessary to develop applications that integrate support from husbands and health workers to create good conditions that enable and motivate pregnant women to practice anemia prevention behavior.
