Hepatitis B virus and plasmodium co-infection is of an increase in developing countries as a result of lack of proper diagnosis leading to increased morbidity. This study was to determine the sero-prevalence of Hepatitis B Virus and Plasmodium co-infection profile among patients in Wukari and environs. Seventy (70) subjects’ with the age range of between 0 to 80 years participated and standard microbiological techniques were observed in this study. The results obtained showed 34 (48.6%) were males and 36 (51.4%) were females. Four (5.7%) participants were sero-positive for HBsAg. HBsAb, HBcAb, HBeAg and HBeAb while 66 were not detected positive. The Male with 5.9% participants were sero-positive while 5.6% of the female participants were sero-positive. 20 (28.6%) of the participants were sero-positive for malaria. This comprises of 7 males and 13 females. 20.6% of the males were sero-positive while 36.1% of the females were sero-positive. The distribution of parasitaemia by gender across the participants showed that 24 (34.3%) had plasmodium parasitaemia, out of which 9 were males and 15 were females. 26.5% of the males and 41.7% of the females had plasmodium parasitaemia. There was no co-infection of Hepatitis B virus and malaria, despite both having prevalence of 5.7% and 34.3% respectively. The research on its own has shown that in order to reduce HBV and plasmodium co-infection, mass immunization of adults and antiviral drugs should be provided for those that are infected, while HBV and plasmodium co-infections screening programs should be instituted in all levels of institutions in the country to reduce the prevalence rate and level of transmission of the hepatitis virus. This study also has added to the puddle of knowledge already available in this area of research.

Published: August 2021

Feed ingredients used in poultry feed, generally require size reduction before being used in mixing rations, such as corn. The process of reducing the size of corn is the initial process that must be carried out for ration production. The machine that is commonly used to reduce the size is the hammer mill. This study aims to determine the particle size and physical characteristics of corn as a poultry feed ingredient by grinding using a hammer mill. The study was arranged using a completely randomized design with four treatments of amount of corn milled with three replications. The treatments were P1 = 5 kg, P2 = 10 kg, P3 = 15 kg, and P4 = 20 kg. Parameters observed were particle size and degree of fineness of milled results, bulk density, and specific gravity, angle of repose, capacity and efficiency of hammer mill machine performance. The results showed that the largest particle size was P4 at 3.167 mm with a fineness degree of 4.927 and the smallest particle size was P1 at 2.810 mm with a fineness degree of 4.756. Overall, the category of corn milling results using a hammer mill is the category of coarse milling results. The results of the analysis of variance showed that the amount of corn milled treatment had no significant effect on the angle of repose, specific gravity and bulk density of corn milled using a hammer mill. The difference in the number of milled corn does not affect the difference in the particle size of the corn produced from the milling results, so it does not affect the angle of repose, specific gravity and bulk density.

Published: August 2021

The assessment of cultural significance is important to the processes involved in the determination of building preservation policies. The cultural significance is mostly invisible or intangible in a cultural heritage building and contained in the form of value or meaning which are sometimes misinterpreted and this means it is possible to judge a building as worthy or unworthy to be preserved for the interests of the past, present, and future through the evaluation its importance. Moreover, some important elements are usually contained in a cultural heritage building which can be excavated through their cultural significance. This research was, therefore, conducted to determine the cultural significance of residential buildings in the Jatiroto Sugar Factory area complex at Lumajang Regency, East Java to be used in formulating policies required to preserve the structures as a cultural heritage for the benefit of future generations. This involved the use of the descriptive method to describe the situation in the field while the weighted evaluative method was applied to evaluate the cultural significance value of the building and its elements. The results were used as the criteria to determine the cultural significance of the official house of the Jatiroto Sugar Factory which can be applied as the reference to formulate the cultural significance criteria for similar cultural heritage buildings in other locations.

The aim of the study is to research and compare the influences of the confirmed cases, test number and time range on the death and recovery rates in the United State of America, China, and Turkey, and to find out the effect of the epidemic in the near future of Turkey. The modelling and prediction of effects of the day, case and test numbers of COVID-19 infection in the USA, China and Turkey are carried out using the artificial neural network approach (ANN). The system are trained and tested with the different numbers of neurons, hidden layers and activation functions to increase the reliability and accuracy of model. The proposed models have a high R2 value for China and Turkey. We can say according to the results that the measures taken by the USA are inadequate. The formulation is applied to predict the effect of Covid-19 infection in Turkey. The test number that is an important factor in detecting the cases should be increased. The results show a good fit between the observed data and those obtained by the ANN model. If the precautions are strictly followed, the case number will be decreased significantly after 160 days for Turkey according to result of the proposed model but due to the uncontrolled variables, this time may result in between 200 and 250 days.

Objetivo: Identificar o papel da enfermagem frente a ansiedade do adolescente causada pelo uso excessivo das redes sociais. Método: revisão integrativa, com busca nos bancos de dados LILACS, BIREME, SciELO, e Google Acadêmico. Resultados: Foram selecionados 09 artigos, dentro do recorte temporal de 2016 a 2020, que levaram a discussão de três categorias: Ansiedade causada pela Influência das Redes Sociais; Identificação Precoce da Ansiedade; e Ações da Enfermagem para a Ansiedade. Considerações finais: É natural o desejo de expor nas redes sociais determinadas situações próprias com o objetivo de compartilhar objetivos alcançados, socializar informações e opiniões. Entretanto, assim como este compartilhamento pode encantar, pode trazer consigo a ansiedade, de receber mais, tornando as conexões virtuais fonte de desejo e ao mesmo tempo angústia, gerando dependência, perdendo-se a capacidade de aproveitar e gerenciar o tempo. Cabe aos profissionais de saúde a identificação do problema precocemente e encaminhamento ao setor responsável para a busca de mais qualidade de vida.

Published: August 2021

The Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare but severe disorder that affects peripheral nerves and is classified into several subtypes based on clinical presentation and electrophysiological abnormalities. Incidence and predominant subtypes of GBS differ geographically. The diagnosis is made upon clinical features and confirmed by nerve conduction studies (NCSs) which can differentiate subtypes such as demyelinated and axonal. Demyelinating subtypes in Europe and North America and axonal subtypes in Asia are predominant. Electrophysiological subtypes have not been determined in Mongolia. Therefore, we aimed to determine common electrophysiological subtypes of Guillain-Barré syndrome in Mongolia. In our study, 75 patients referred to Reflex Neurological Clinic between 2016 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. After excluding the cases by the criteria, patients were classified as demyelinating, axonal, normal and equivocal subtypes based on Hadden criteria. We compared the electrophysiological features of axonal and demyelinating subtypes. SPSS-23 was used for statistical analysis. The results are expressed in averages (standard deviations) and percentages (numbers). The difference between the mean and the group of variables was calculated using the T-test and the Chi-square test. Patients were 44% male (33), and the mean age was 46.4±15.1. There was no significant association between seasonal factors and electrophysiological subtypes. Among 75 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a nerve conduction study was performed in the first week on 36% of patients, 33.3% in the 2nd week, and others in the 3rd-4th week after symptom onset. Electrophysiology subtypes were classified as demyelinating (65.3%), axonal (20%), within the normal range (5.4%) and equivocal (9.3%) based on Hadden criteria. The absence of F-waves on electrophysiological examination was higher in patients within 14 days of the disease onset, whereas non-sensory changes were higher in patients after 14 days. We conclude that acute inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (AIDP) was the most frequent subtype of GBS in Mongolia.

While developed countries use a variety of methods to convert municipal solid waste into various products such as energy, fertilizer, heat, and others, developing countries continue to struggle with municipal solid waste. Because of the various criteria to be considered, assessing these methods and determining which ones are best suited to the conditions of each country is a complicated task. The hybrid GREY-EDAS model was utilized in this study to evaluate waste treatment alternatives in Nigeria. The study employed seven distinct criteria relating to the environment, society, and cost, with the cost criterion being the most relevant. Subsequently, four waste treatment methods were evaluated: incineration, composting, sanitary landfills, and anerobic digestion. As a result, composting is proven to be the most effective. Sensitivity analysis was carried out by varying the weight of the criterion in seven distinct scenarios, and the model produced consistent findings.
Transdiagnostic mechanisms in internalizing and externalizing psychopathology: The role of effortful control in reflexive responding to emotion
Authors: Sperry Sarah Havens , Woodward Neil
Published: August 2021

Emotion-based impulsivity is a transdiagnostic construct related to both internalizing and externalizing behaviors. The Reflexive Responding to Emotion (RRE) framework proposes one possible mechanism through which emotion-based impulsivity predicts two phenotypically different presentations – poor effortful control in the face of strong negative and positive affect can result in either approach or avoidance tendencies. In the present study, we tested this theoretical model in a large developmental community sample, the Enhanced NKI-RS sample (Adult n = 708, Adolescent n = 367), which has a wide range of psychopathology and healthy functioning. Using structural equation path modeling, we tested our primary hypothesis that heightened negative or positive affect would be associated with internalizing and externalizing behaviors indirectly through activation control (avoidance) or inhibitory control (approach) facets of effortful control. In adolescents, pathways consistent with the RRE framework for negative urgency emerged such that there was a significant indirect path from negative affect to activation control to internalizing and from negative affect to inhibitory control to externalizing. There was no evidence of positive urgency pathways in the adolescent sample. In contrast, distinct pathways emerged for negative and positive affect in the adult sample – both indirectly led to internalizing psychopathology through activation control and externalizing psychopathology through inhibitory control. Results provide empirical support for the theoretical RRE model and highlight differential cognitive mechanisms through which heightened emotion states may lead to distinct impulsive action or inaction. Implications of these results are discussed, particularly as they relate to differential intervention targets for emotion-based impulsivity in transdiagnostic populations.

Differential expression of receptor activity modifying protein 1 in human epithelial ovarian cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding receptor activity modifying protein 1, RAMP1, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. RAMP1 expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. RAMP1 expression correlated with progression-free survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of RAMP1 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. RAMP1 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.
Are suicide attacks irrational?
Authors: Nguyen Minh-Hoang
Published: August 2021

The thing or action that we deem irrational can be perceived as rational by other people just because humans do not always stand on a similar viewpoint. So do the U.S. and the suicide attackers. Perhaps, mutual communication and trust-building activities are the keys to end this vicious cycle of violence.
Mind the Narratives: Towards a Cultural Narratology of Attention
Authors: Baumbach Sibylle
Published: August 2021

Taking its cue from current discourses on anxieties of (in)attention and from the connections between attention, culture, and narrative, this essay introduces the conceptual and methodological framework for a cultural narratology of attention. As I argue, selective attention is not only a biological necessity: it also guides the production and reception of literary texts, influences the cultural narratives we live by, drives the development of (new) genres, and gives rise to what I call ‘attention narratives’. Focussing on Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories and selected adaptations, this essay shows how these ‘attention narratives’ connect to cultural anxieties of attention and distraction, mainly driven by technological advancements, while challenging readers’ attentional capacities. They do so by creating moments of ‘inattentional blindness’, which help increase readers’ awareness of the mechanisms of attention, while exposing cultural attention narratives that have shaped and continue to shape our perception. Given the central role of attention in cultures and narratives, there is a strong need for a cultural narratology of attention, which bridges cognitive psychology, cultural studies, and literary studies. This essay offers the foundation for such an approach.

Sample Size Justifications in Gait & Posture
Authors: McCrum Christopher , van Beek Jorg , Schumacher Charlotte , Janssen Sanne , Van Hooren Bas
Published: August 2021

Background: Context regarding how researchers determine the sample size of their experiments is important for interpreting the results and determining their value and meaning. Between 2018 and 2019, the journal Gait & Posture introduced a requirement for sample size justification in their author guidelines.Research Question: How frequently and in what ways are sample sizes justified in Gait & Posture research articles and was the inclusion of a guideline requiring sample size justification associated with a change in practice?Methods: The guideline was not in place prior to May 2018 and was in place from 25th July 2019. All articles in the three most recent volumes of the journal (84-86) and the three most recent, pre-guideline volumes (60-62) at time of preregistration were included in this analysis. This provided an initial sample of 324 articles (176 pre-guideline and 148 post-guideline). Articles were screened by two authors to extract author data, article metadata and sample size justification data. Specifically, screeners identified if (yes or no) and how sample sizes were justified. Six potential justification types (Measure Entire Population, Resource Constraints, Accuracy, A priori Power Analysis, Heuristics, No Justification) and an additional option of Other/Unsure/Unclear were used.Results: In most cases, authors of Gait & Posture articles did not provide a justification for their study’s sample size. The inclusion of the guideline was associated with a modest increase in the percentage of articles providing a justification (16.6% to 28.1%). A priori power calculations were the dominant type of justification, but many were not reported in enough detail to allow replication.Significance: Gait & Posture researchers should be more transparent in how they determine their sample sizes and carefully consider if they are suitable. Editors and journals may consider adding a similar guideline as a low-resource way to improve sample size justification reporting.
Voice, Face, and Fascination: The Art of Physiognomy in 'The Midsummer Night's Dream'
Authors: Baumbach Sibylle
Published: August 2021

Bottom: I see a voice. Now will I to the chinkTo spy an I can hear my Thisbe’s face.Thisbe?(A Midsummer Night’s Dream, 5.1.191–3)The revels have begun. After long rehearsals, the artisans finally perform their play in honour of Theseus and Hippolyta’s wedding: ‘A tedious brief scene of young Pyramus / And his love Thisbe: very tragical mirth’ (5.1.56–7). The play within the play provides a comic reflection of the communication situation in the theatre insofar as it creates another space-within-a-space wherein observers observe other observers observing. But, as Theseus notices (‘“Merry” and “tragical”? “Tedious” and “brief”?’ (5.1.58)), it also reconciles the irreconcilable: it makes the tragic comic; it makes visible what can only be heard; and it disembodies what can usually only be seen.In the following, I will take up Bottom’s cue and provide new perspectives on voices and faces as well as their interaction and translation in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. As I will argue, much of the fascination with this specific play derives from the complex physiognomic discourse it reveals and with which it engages its audience(s).
Is investigating the science of mind possible through neuroscience? Some Implications for Psychology and Law
Authors: Sinha Chetan
Published: August 2021

This article interrogates the limits of the integration of neuroscience and law. Brain studies offer substantial support to a series of human experiences and behaviours. The intervention based on the understanding of the brain explained the concept of individual mind and behaviour and offered neurological explanations. The brain studies offering technical explanations of the human mind and behaviour may further be used to attribute people from different social groups in a stereotypical way. Modern neuroscientific research needs controlled laboratory experiments and techniques to systematically understand psychological processes. It understands the limits of neuroscientific techniques, psychological theories, and interpretations. The agenda is not to come with error-free findings as human psychology is a complex mixture of culture, experiences, and historical processes. Unlike natural science, which is mostly stable, human sciences are neither simple nor easy to pack into the theoretical model. Neurosciences engaging with human psychology need to tackle these discrepancies. Neuroscience can also be a helping science, which any interested discipline may align with if the former is needed to advance the latter theoretical model. Neuroscience, as a vantage point, can be misleading in understanding psychology, but as an aid, it can offer a better scheme of human sociocultural and biological agency. Discussing psychological processes and law through the information from brain science gives a better understanding of the mind, social life, and law.
