Published: April 2024

Introduction: Hand hygiene in health care facilities (HCFs) remains a significant public health challenge. Global baseline estimates on water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in HCFs indicate that 26% of HCFs lack access to an improved water source on the premises. In this study, we sought to assess the proportion of handwashing coverage and the associated factors among healthcare workers in public and private healthcare facilities in Ndejje division, Makindye Ssabagabo municipality, Wakiso district.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study with both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection was conducted.A total of 350 healthcare workers were interviewed using a self-administered structured open-ended paper questionnaire and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) guide. Data was analysed using STATA 14.2 and ATLAS. ti version 8 software.Results: The majority of 350 (92.6%) of healthcare workers were from private health facilities. We found out that the proportion of handwashing facilities coverage was 97.7%. The proportion of handwashing was good coupled with a positive attitude towards handwashing. Being a nurse was highly associated with washing hands in both private and public health facilities.Conclusion: High hand washing proportion was attributed to the COVID-19 guidelines and enforcement which sparked adherence to the standard operating procedures.

In 2013, Uganda introduced the PCV10 pneumococcal vaccine and it is given to children at 6, 10 and 14 weeks after birth. Carriage prevalence studies post PCV10-introduction are necessary for monitoring the impact of vaccination and trends in antibiotic resistance. Here, we studied carriage/antibiotic resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Staphylococcus aureus isolated from 194 children at the Mulago Assessment Centre clinic in Kampala-Uganda, 5 years post-PCV10 introduction. Almost all the children were vaccinated with PCV10 (98.5%, 191/194). The overall carriage prevalence (any species) was 62% (120/194), and it was associated with a history of antibiotics use (p=0.0159) and having respiratory symptoms (p=0.0003). The pneumococcus, H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis, and S. aureus carriage prevalence was 46% (90/194), 21% (40/194), 7% (14/194), and 6% (12/194), respectively. Species co-carriage occurred in 32 children (17%, 32/194), predominantly multidrug resistant pneumococcus + H. influenzae (23 children). Furthermore, pneumococci were highly resistant to cotrimoxazole (100%), erythromycin (76%), and tetracycline (52%), 42% being multidrug-resistant. Overall, we note an increase in antibiotic resistance post-PCV10 introduction, and microbial shifts i.e., a decrease in pneumococcus, M. catarrhalis and S. aureus carriage and an increase in H. influenzae carriage suggesting vaccine-associated perturbation of the respiratory ecology.

Published: April 2024

Aim: To provide more insights about beliefs of witchcraft and supernatural means as causes of human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) among women in Senegal.

Method: We included eligible women from the demographic and health survey conducted in Senegal during the year 2017.

Results: We included 15335 women, of those 620 (4%) thought that they can get HIV through witchcraft or supernaturalmeans. After the adjustment of all available covariates, old age, receiving primary or secondary education, higher wealth index,more frequency of listening to radio, watching television for less than once a week and reading newspaper or magazine for atleast once a week were significantly associated with a reduction in the witchcraft and supernatural means beliefs (p < 0.05).Moreover, rural residence was associated with an increase in the wrong HIV beliefs (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: We demonstrated many predictors of the wrong beliefs about getting HIV infection by witchcraft or supernaturalmeans in the Senegalese women. Policymakers should initiate health educational programs in parallel with increasing thesocioeconomic status to limit the HIV transmission. In addition, continuous monitoring of the HIV knowledge in the endemiccountries is crucial to decrease HIV burden.

Parasites are a global health problem that endanger the total well-being of humans and animals. This survey was conducted to assess parasites in faecal samples sourced from two open markets (Olabisi Onabanjo Market and Oke-Aje Market) in Ijebu-Ode, Ijebu-Ode Local Government Area, Ogun State, Southwestern Nigeria. A total of 121 samples were obtained and examined for parasites using the sodium acetate-acetic acid-formalin method. The collected data were entered into an Excel spreadsheet and the prevalence of parasites was calculated. Chi square was used to assess the relationship between the location of markets in the study area and the parasites detected in them, with a significance level set at 0.05. Results revealed that out of 121 faecal samples scavenged, 65(53.7%) were from Oke-Aje market, with faeces from humans 34(28.1%) being the most common. Overall, 74 (61.2%) samples were positive for parasites, with 44 (67.7%) being from Oke-Aje Market. Of the ten (10) parasites detected, Eimeria spp. 20(16.5%) had the highest prevalence with 11(19.6%) isolated from Oke-Aje Market. The least common parasite was Entamoeba histolytica with a prevalence of 1(1.5%). There was no significant relationship between the parasites found in the faecal samples collected and the Market locations (p>0.05). In conclusion, traders should endeavor to engage in daily sanitation in or around the environment of their marketplaces as faeces found in their surroundings could be parasite-infected.

Authors: Oyedeji A. A. , Oyedeji O. F.
Published: April 2024

The experiment investigated effect of number of nodes on shooting and rooting ability of Nauclea diderrichii juvenile cuttings. The cuttings were approximately cut into one node cuttings (T1), two nodes’ cuttings (T2), three nodes’ cuttings (T3) and four nodes’ cuttings (T4) experiment treatments. Five cuttings each of the treatment were set in planting trays and replicated four times making eighty (80) cuttings in total. It was arranged under a humid propagator chamber in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and assessed variables such as survival rate, the number of leaves, root and shoot, the longest shoot and root length.The result showed that nodal cuttings in treatment T4, had the best performance (4.50) in the survival rate while the least mean survival rate is T1 with 2.75. It was also observed from the experiment that T4 (four nodes’ cuttings) had the highest performance in the number of root and shoot, the number of leaves, the longest shoot and root length while T1 (one node cuttings) had the least performance in the number of root and shoot, the number of leaves, longest shoot and root length. This means that the more the nodes, the better the cutting performance. The ANOVA showed that the treatments are significantly differentat 0.05% probability level. It is therefore recommended that to have an optimum performance in survival rate, the number of root and shoot, the number of leaves, longest shoot and root length for its sustainablemass production N. diderrichii, four nodal cuttings should be used.

Published: April 2024

Biofertilizers are microbial-agro products containing mixed culture of microorganisms that promote plant growth, yield, soil quality and disease control. This study aimed to isolate, identify and screen microorganisms with biofertilizer potentials for application in farms. Soil samples were collected from farmland and waste-dump soils around University of Port Harcourt. The various microorganisms were isolated and estimated using nutrient agar, potato dextrose agar, cetrimide agar and Ashby’s agar. The microorganisms were screened for biofertilizer potentials based on nitrogen fixation, potassium and phosphate solubilization using Pikovskaya media. The results obtained from this study showed that thefarmland soil sample had a total heterotrophic bacterial and fungal counts of 5.045±0.02 and 4.220±0.02 Log10Cfu/gwhile the corresponding values in the waste-dump soil was 4.890±0.30 and 3.505±0.30 Log10Cfu/g respectively. After screening, the microorganisms with biofertilizer potentials were identified as Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenum, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus licheniformis, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Azotobacter chroococcum. Findings from this study have demonstrated that the microorganisms isolated from the farmland soil were more adept at nitrogen fixation and solubilizing insoluble potassium and phosphate compounds than their counterparts in waste-dump soil. These microorganisms have shown potentials to improve soil fertility and crop productivity in a sustainable way.

Geophysical application of electrical resistivity method has been employed to differentiate subsurface target of interest from the encompassing strata along the Ago-Iwoye/Ilishan road in South-western Nigeria. However, a geological model which links variation in lithological characteristics of subgrade soils to the engineering performance of the road is yet to be a research subject. This research is a special geotechnical application of geophysics for revealing the subsurface disposition and predicting the stability state of subgrade materials. Field assessment of rock types, and their relationship was followed by electrical resistivity measurement along the road. Schlumberger and dipole – dipole arrays were adopted for fifty-eight (58) Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) and 2-D resistivity imaging involving Dipole-Dipole profiling technique was adopted in the sedimentary segment. Field data were inverted to 2-D resistivity structures inferentially delineated contour colorations using ‘DIPRO for Windows’ software. Geo-electric layers revealed Sedimentary Basin (SB) between Ilishan and Irolu, between Irolu and Ijesha-Ijebu, Transitional Zone (TR) with abrupt contrast along the plane of an unconformity and crystalline Basement Complex (BC) towards Ago-Iwoye. The 2-D resistivity structures across the different geological terrains revealed with 50Ωm - 3289Ωm at SB,233Ωm - 8028Ωm at TZ and 8Ωm - 3009Ωm at BC. From geotechnical view, subgrade materials underlying the SB and TZ segments can be adjudged competent to sand and clayey sand units with minor occurrences of incompetent clay and sandy clay lenses. The occurrence of subsurface discontinuities at the BC end of TZof the road would adversely affect the pavement stability.

Published: April 2024

Cellulases are collections of extracellular enzymes and a complex mixture of enzyme proteins with various specificities. Cellulases work together to hydrolyze glycosidic bonds and generate monomers of glucose for fermentation. This investigation aims to isolate and molecularly characterize Bacillus species with cellulolytic ability. Bacillus species were isolated from soil samples retrieved from a dump site and screened for cellulolytic ability on carboxyl methylcellulose (CMC) agar. The percentage hydrolysis efficiency of isolates was determined and cellulase produced was quantified using CMC assay method. Biochemical identification was by Analytical Profile Index (API) Kit 50CHB/20E and API web software while molecular characterization employed 16S rRNA gene sequencing and blast search analysis. Bacillus megaterium (FSP1) and Bacillus zanthoxyli (FSP4) exhibited their cellulolytic potentials by presenting zones of clearance of about 21 ± 2.08 and 7 ± 1.00 mm on CMCA with hydrolysis efficiency of 250 and 600 % respectively. Quantification of crude cellulase revealed cellulase activity of 85 and 74μmol/ml for both bacteria species. Biochemically, the cellulolytic bacteria were identified as Bacillus megaterium (FSP1) and Bacillus zanthoxyli (FSP4) while molecularly, they were identified as Bacillus megaterium 14581 (FSP1) and Bacillus zanthoxyli 1433 (FSP4) with Reference Sequence (RefSeq) accession numbers NR_116873 and NR_164882, and showing maximum sequence similarity of 99 and 96 % respectively. Results obtained from this investigation, suggests that both bacteria species characterised, possesses good cellulolytic ability and hence can be utilized for the production of the enzyme cellulase which has a wide range of industrial application.

Published: April 2024

This research paper investigates the association between organizational culture and employees' compliance with information security policies. Drawing upon rational choice theory (RCT) and the competing values framework (CVF), our study explores the moderating effects of cultural dimensions on information security compliance in a diverse range of organizations. We employ a scenario-based approach and analyze the data using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Our findings underscore the robustness of the model and emphasize the pivotal role of cultural dimensions in influencing employees' compliance intentions.

    The study contributes by synthesizing non-fear-based deterrence theory with organizational culture theory, offering practical insights for information security managers. Recommendations include framing compliance as a moral duty, involving end-users in policy development, utilizing effective communication, implementing monitoring systems, and fostering a consistency culture. For organizations, the research underscores the importance of cultivating an ethical culture, emphasizing moral beliefs, and leveraging cultural dimensions to enhance compliance intentions.

    Acknowledging limitations related to single-country data collection, a focus on compliance intentions, and the selection of organizations with established policies, this research paves the way for future studies. Future research should aim to replicate this study in diverse cultural settings, consider individual-level culture measurement, and explore additional moderating factors. This research contributes to understanding the intricate relationship between organizational culture and information security compliance, offering actionable insights for practitioners and prospects for further exploration in the information security field.

Authors: Dong Yanhua , Li Hezhou , Liang Runwei
Published: April 2024

A rare case of unicornuate uterus with interstitial ectopic pregnancy (IEP) was diagnosed using three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (3D-TVUS). The ultrasound revealed a "lancet-shaped" endometrial corona, a gestational sac near the uterus base extending towards the uterine serosa, and visible interstitial lines. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery for a lesion in the right fallopian tube. 3D-TVUS was crucial in precisely locating the gestational sac, aiding in effective treatment. Interstitial ectopic pregnancies risk severe hemorrhaging upon rupture. Rapid, accurate diagnosis is vital for lifesaving treatment and preventing critical complications.

Ignacio de Valencia, cuya vida se  desarrolló a lo largo del siglo XVIII, y que llegó a ser canónigo de la Catedral de Sevilla a comienzos de la siguiente centuria. El acercamiento al eclesiástico se ha dividido en tres facetas: su genealogía, su carrera eclesiástica y la relación que mantuvo con la localidad sevillana de Peñaflor. De esta manera han salido a la luz las partidas de bautismo de los afamados retablistas Bernardo Simón de Pineda y Juan de Valencia, que han resultado ser sus ascendientes directos, así como otros documentos relativos a esa rama de la familia. También se ha podido reconstruir la biografía del presbítero dentro de la institución religiosa, mediante la localización de numerosos documentos inéditos. Finalmente se han seguido sus huellas en un Peñaflor que construía su nueva iglesia, desvelándose ahora que él mismo contribuiría a edificar la conocida allí como “Casa del Cura”.

Aproximación a la historia de Cáritas Diocesana de Sevilla
Authors: Cano Umbría Joaquín , Ruiz Morcillo Pedro
Published: April 2024

El comienzo de la historia de Cáritas Diocesana de Sevilla está formalmente determinado por el decreto de su erección canónica, firmado por el arzobispo José María Bueno Monreal el 23 de abril de 1955. Hasta entonces, y desde 1947, bajo el episcopado del arzobispo Pedro Segura y Sáenz, la pastoral diocesana de la caridad había cubierto un momento precedente de renovación y organización, realizado en el marco de la “Obra de la Caridad Diocesana”. Tras su creación, Cáritas Diocesana de Sevilla experimentará desde 1960 un creciente desarrollo y reconocimiento que se mantendrá durante el episcopado de José María Bueno Monreal, hasta manifestar en sus postrimerías ciertos signos de desgaste. Desde 1982, tras el nombramiento del arzobispo Carlos Amigo Vallejo, Cáritas Diocesana iniciará un proceso de actualización –especialmente intenso durante los años noventa– que nos conduce a los contornos de la Cáritas de nuestros días. Finalmente, desde 2009, con el arzobispo Juan José Asenjo Pelegrina, la experiencia de Cáritas Diocesana de Sevilla se constituye ya en presente, marcada, tras las graves repercusiones de la crisis económica de 2007, por la estabilidad institucional y el respaldo a su labor.

Authors: Amores Martínez Francisco
Published: April 2024

En el presente trabajo estudiamos la relación que los arzobispos de Sevilla han mantenido durante casi cinco siglos con el santuario de la Virgen de Loreto, situado cerca de la villa de Umbrete en la comarca del Aljarafe, y con el convento de frailes franciscanos fundado junto al mismo en 1525, que ha sido muy fructífera tanto en lo que se refiere al patrimonio artístico como en el ámbito espiritual y pastoral.

En primera persona: dos experiencias en la Academia Vivarum novum
Authors: Guillén Leonel , Koval Eliseo
Published: April 2024

Luego de haber estudiado durante algunos años en las universidades de General San Martín y de Buenos Aires el latín y el griego a través del método de análisis sintáctico-gramatical y luego de haber notado la escasa capacidad de comprensión de los textos originales que los alumnos alcanzaban a través del mismo (es decir: en su contexto histórico y cultural), empecé a investigar la manera más eficiente para tratar a los autores sin la necesidad de recurrir al diccionario cada vez que me topaba con una nueva palabra. La capacidad lectocomprensiva, que había adquirido a través del método sintácticogramatical de ninguna manera favoreció el aprendizaje de las lenguas, sino más bien de sus estructuras y reglas gramaticales. Por otra parte, cabe destacar que el aprendizaje de la gramática latina y griega ha facilitado entender el aspecto teórico de la lengua desde el punto de vista morfológico y sintáctico.
Comunicação em saúde: evidências e desafios na prevenção do VIH em mulheres trabalhadoras de sexo na cidade de Maputo, Moçambique
Authors: Mabuie Maltez
Published: April 2024

A comunicação em saúde mostra-se cada vez mais relevante na concepção e implementação de programas que visam contribuir para a prevenção e tratamento de doenças na população. A presente pesquisa objetiva compreender as ações de comunicação em saúde na prevenção do vírus da imunodeficiência humana (VIH) nas mulheres trabalhadoras de sexo (MTS) na cidade de Maputo. Foi feito um estudo de caso de natureza qualitativa, com uma amostragem de 150 MTS selecionadas por meio de informantes-chave. Os resultados indicam que o trabalho de sexo tende a iniciar precocemente, há consumo abusivo de álcool, prática de sexo desprotegido e desconhecimento do estado serológico por parte das MTS. As ações de comunicação em saúde que são dirigidas por educadoras de pares privilegiam apenas a disseminação de informação. É um fato o fraco envolvimento das MTS na concepção de ações de comunicação em saúde e na segmentação de audiência. Conclui-se que, até hoje não se quis envolver e conhecer as caraterísticas e necessidades das MTS, providenciar sessões que vão para além da disseminação de informação, estruturar programas de mobilização comunitária assentes em redes sociais de convivência, assim como romper as barreiras estruturais que concorrem para a propagação do VIH nos locais de concentração das MTS.
Discussing existence of conditionally axiomatic provisions in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
Authors: Кабанов В.М.
Published: April 2024

В статье ставится вопрос о существовании в Уголовном ко- дексе Российской Федерации таких положений, которые можно отнести к разряду условно аксиоматичных. Приводится анализ утверждений о том, что «более опасные деяния должны наказываться более строго», «преступление с квалифицирующими признаками обладает повышенной общественной опасностью», «общественная опасность лица, совершившего преступление при административной преюдиции, увеличивается», в результате чего устанавливается, что данные положения являются условно аксиоматичными в силу ограниченной сферы действия (распространяются лишь на конкретные составы преступлений). Делается вывод о существовании в УК РФ условно аксиоматичных положений.

The article discusses existence of provisions in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation that can be classified as conditionally axiomatic. So, state- ments, such as “more dangerous acts should be punished more severely”, “a crime with qualifying signs has an increased public danger”, “public danger of a person who has committed a crime under administrative prejudice increases”, are analyzed. It is found out that these provisions are conditionally axiomatic due to their lim- ited scope (they apply only to specific elements of crimes). The conclusion is made about the existence of conditionally axiomatic provisions in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Determining the amount of compensation according to the value that this subject has for the damaged party, if it was damaged or destroyed by an intentional criminal act is based on 189(4) of the Law on Obligations. This represents one of the key exceptions from the general rule based on the objective understanding the civil culpability in our tort law. Although it enjoys a long tradition, its interpretation and application creates a series of dilemmas in the legal doctrine and practice of domestic courts. Among them, the key question is whether it is about a special base for measuring compensation for non-patrimonial damage or it is basis for special pretium affectionis as a way of measuring the amount of compensation for patrimonial damage, which carries a subjective connotation. Only a few scientific works in our doctrine of tort law have been devoted to this issue in fragments. Moreover, these problems have not been observed in the context of property insurance yet. Thus, the author tries to examine the ability of insurance the market to meet the needs of special user requests, when it comes the need to insure from theft and robbery not only valuable and rare things that has cultural and historical importance and collectibles, but also subjects to which the owners are particularly emotionally attached such as pet, personal correspondence, letters, and awards for various achievements or family photos
