Computer supported collaborative learning in Greek inclusive secondary education
Authors: Riga Asimina , Ioannidi Vasiliki , Papayiannis Nikolaos
Published: October 2021

Computer-assisted collaborative learning is known to challenge and motivate students with Learning Disabilities. The present paper therefore intends to briefly present the benefits of computer-supportive collaborative learning activities as well as demonstrate specific practices and paradigms concerning the inclusion of students with Special Educational Needs in Secondary Education in Greece. To reach this target, the researchers proceed to an ICT literature review associated with computer-mediated collaborative and inclusive learning methods in Greek Secondary Education. According to literature review findings, these learning methods are considered beneficial in terms of learning purposes directed to students with learning disabilities since they do raise students’ interest and engagement in the learning procedure, enhance their cognitive abilities and assist them to develop self-esteem, problem-solving strategies and, finally, a solid collaborative attitude. Therefore, this paper concludes that there has been a lack of significant progress with respect to establishing collaborative inclusive learning environments in Greece.

Influence of piston surface treatment on piston assembly friction in an eco-mileage vehicle engine
Authors: Nakashima Kohei , Uchiyama Yosuke
Published: October 2021

This study investigated the effect on piston assembly friction after treating piston surfaces with a fine particle bombarding process, using a friction measurement apparatus with a floating cylinder liner, similar to an eco-mileage vehicle engine. Friction was measured in four conditions: (1) no treatment (standard piston in a commercially-available engine), (2) micro dimple treatment (45 μm ceramic particles were air-blasted onto the piston surface), (3) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) shot treatment (1 μm MoS2 particles were air-blasted onto the piston surface), and (4) combination of the previous two micro dimple and MoS2 shot treatments (first 45 μm ceramic particles and then 1 μm MoS2 were air-blasted onto the piston surface). Results indicated that friction decreased in the following order: no treatment > micro dimple treatment > MoS2 shot treatment > combination of micro dimple and MoS2 shot treatments.
Development of a positive group intervention for coexisting problems: A mixed methods study
Authors: Ujhelyi Gomez Katalin , Carson Jerome , Brown Gill
Published: October 2021

Substance misuse commonly coexists with psychological disorder (dual diagnosis) making the problems more complex and the symptoms augmented with far-reaching negative consequences. Despite the wide range of support that treats both problems, clients often relapse. This study was the first empirical attempt to investigate how positive psychology can facilitate recovery by not focusing merely on the disorders but exploring and enhancing the positive aspects of clients’ lives moving them toward optimal human functioning. A mixed methods approach was applied to test a 12-week positive group intervention in two groups of service users (n=10) with coexisting disorders at an outpatient addiction service to explore the feasibility and acceptability of a positive approach in their recovery. Participants seemed to have benefitted from the programme, all positive concepts were found relevant, and the intervention was found feasible and acceptable by service users. It was concluded that a strengths-based positive approach has the potential to serve as a useful adjunct to the treatment of coexisting problems. Implications for treatment are discussed in terms of how positive psychology may be helpful in long-term recovery by providing alternative strategies to cope with mental illness and a substitute for the love, nurturing, and belonging that substances appear to offer to individuals.

How Gut Microbiota Supports Immunity, Growth and Development of Preterm Infants: A Narrative Review
Authors: Widodo Ariani Dewi
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACTBackground: Gut microbiota, a complex ecosystem consisting of abundant microorganisms, plays a role in preterm infants’ immunity, growth, and development. Dysbiosis or disruption of the gut microbiota can precipitate various diseases, such as allergy or autoimmune disorders in premature infants. Purpose: This study aimed to review gut microbiota in preterm infants and its role in supporting the infants’ immunity, growth, and development. Discussion: Bifidobactericeae is the predominant microbiota in GI tract of preterm infants. However, various factors can influence this gut microbiota e.g., genetics, lifestyle of the mothers (smoking, diet, use of antibiotic, obesity), birth mode, type of feeding, and environmental factors. Gut dysbiosis can result in impaired immune system which predisposes the preterm infants to infections, even fatal adverse event. Furthermore, the growth and development might be affected as well as lead to various neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. Human milk is a prebiotic source which can stimulate the growth of Baifidobactericeae and Bacteroidetes. If the human milk is inadequate or unavailable, the recommended interventions for gut dysbiosis in premature infants are probiotics, prebiotics, or both supplementations (synbiotics). The administration of prebiotics and probiotics associates with lower morbidity and death rates in preterm infants, as well as shorter duration of hospital stay and duration to achieve full enteral feeding. Conclusions: Immunity as well as growth and development of preterm infants are affected greatly by gut microbiota The less diverse microbiota in preterm infants’ gut predispose them to various health problems. Hence, this problem should be managed properly, one of which is prebiotic and probiotic supplementation Keywords: Gastrointestinal Microbiome, Premature, Immunity, Growth, Development
The Roles of Prebiotics on Impaired Immune System in Preterm Infants: A Narrative Literature Review
Authors: Munasir Zakiudin
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT Background: After birth, preterm infants face numerous challenges, including short and long-term morbidities, to survive and grow well with impaired immune and gastrointestinal systems. According to data from 184 countries, preterm birth rate ranges from 5-18%, accounting for 35% of all new born deaths. Purpose: This literature review aimed to summarize the evidence for the impact of prematurity on immune system development and the benefit of prebiotics on gut microbiota and immune responses. Discussion: Various studies in this narrative literature review showed that preterm infants have both qualitative and quantitative immune response deficits compared to term infants. Preterm newborns also have impaired intestinal immunity, underdeveloped intestinal mucosa barrier, and gut dysbiosis, which predisposes them to life-threatening infections. Early balanced gut microbiota in infants believed to be essential for adequate intestinal physiological functions and immune system maturation. The use of prebiotics, including human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in human breast milk, has been found to decrease the risk of various infections and cognitive impairment. A previous study found that prebiotic oligosaccharides supplementation was well-tolerated, significantly increased Bifidobacteria growth, and reduced the presence of gut pathogens. Conclusions: There was robust evidence that breast milk and prebiotics supplementation may support the gut microbiome and immune system in preterm infants. However, different types of synthetic prebiotics offer different benefits, and the protective effect seems to depend on the supplementation duration and dosage.

Authors: Subekti Adaninggar Septi , Wahyuni Aprilia Kristiana Tri
Published: October 2021

This paper analysed Ernest Hemingway’s The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber using New Criticism framework on symbolism. Comparisons of drinks, clothes, and colours paralleled the difference between Francis, a wealthy yet unconfident man, and Wilson, a man of masculinity. The next was the sitting positions of the characters in the car in which front seat symbolised authority and power whereas back seat inferiority and lack of confidence. Car symbolised protection, segregation, and power for Margot, whereas camp, and savannah foresaw Francis’ transformation from a wealthy person of comfort (camp) to a man of manly conviction signified with savannah offering wilderness. This transformation was also attributed to Francis’ overcoming obstacles symbolised with a lion and buffalos. Guns and rifles possessed by male characters indicated their dominance with Margot, the only female, practically left-out, except by the end of the story when she wielded a rifle shooting Francis dead.
Improving Rural Livelihoods in North East Kenya: Evidence of Sharia Cooperatives Outreach
Authors: Saaid Ali Abd Elrahman Elzahi
Published: October 2021

Sharia cooperatives (SACCO) are essential low-cost financing that helps underserved communities in Kenya through giving loans, savings, school fees, and considerable group lending. This research used both the structured questionnaires and Focus Group Discussion methods to investigate Sharia cooperatives providers and clients as the best means of financial inclusion to support the disadvantaged people in North-East Kenya (NEK) counties. Four dimensions of financing outreach including scope, cost, worth, and depth sharia cooperatives outreach have been studied. The results have shown Kenyans sharia cooperatives have not achieved a reasonable scope of outreach. This might be due to what is found in the study the lack of qualified sharia cooperatives staff and both financial and digital financial illiteracies of the clients. The clients were found to have low knowledge of their products and services, lack of using the internet and digital devices, and more than 80% of them undertaking transactions at the premises and preferred direct contact. Moreover, the results showed the investigated SACCO did not reach the optimal worth outreach Due to the increase in the number of underserved people and the high rate of poverty in the remote rural areas. The results also show SACCO in Kenya have achieved reasonable depth outreach since they are covered the underserved community members such as women, youth but need to exert still more efforts to reach the remote rural areas. Although the customers have seen the cost of sharia cooperative services is reasonable, the results showed the high cost of attracting new clients. That might be due to the unused of the targeted communities the new means of connections such as webmail, internet, and smart devices. Based on these results the study might recommend that these SACCO might need to implement effective training strategies to enhance clients and staff knowledge to improve financial and digital illiteracy to improve the scope, worth, and cost outreach dimensions. The results also show low depth outreach due to the poor basic infrastructures, lack of capital to adopt wireless finance to expand to remote areas. For this study might recommend more capital injection for SACCO to adopt digital financial technology. These results give good policy implication for the Islamic Development Institution (IsDB), Islamic financial institutions, investors, and other alike to help these sharia cooperatives through capital injection, financial awareness seminars, telecommunication companies, and building capacity programs to promote this low-cost financing for the most disadvantaged Muslim minority in Kenya.

The Hip-Spine Challenge
Authors: Chavarria Joseph C. , Douleh Diana G. , York Philip J.
Published: October 2021

➤ The proper diagnosis and treatment of patients with concurrent hip and spine pathological processes can be challenging because of the substantial overlap in symptomatology.

➤ There is no consensus on which pathological condition should be addressed first.

➤ Factors such as advanced spinal degeneration, deformity, and prior fusion alter the biomechanics of the spinopelvic unit. Attention should be paid to recognizing these issues during the work-up for a total hip arthroplasty as they can result in an increased risk of dislocation.

➤ In patients with concurrent spine and hip degeneration, the surgeon must pay close attention to appropriate implant positioning and have consideration for implants with enhanced stability to minimize the risk of dislocation.

➤ A proper understanding of sagittal balance and restoration of this balance is integral to improving patient outcomes following spinal surgery.

➤ The advent of new imaging modalities, increased awareness of spinopelvic mobility, as well as a better understanding of sagittal alignment will hopefully improve our treatment of patients with hip-spine syndrome.

Early Infant Diagnosis of HIV in Primary Health Care Centers
Authors: Markson John Akpan
Published: October 2021

Background: Early diagnosis of HIV to identify infected children for early therapy is aimed at preventing high mortalities associated with child HIV infection. Early infant diagnosis (EID) intervention occurs across the three tiers of the Nigerian health care delivery system, including the primary health care centers (PHC). This study evaluates the implementation of early infant diagnosis of HIV in PHCs in a southern state of Nigeria.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study that took place between September and November 2019. Primary data were obtained from an interviewer-administered questionnaire on 120 health workers in six Local Government Areas (LGA) that were selected through a multi-stage, random sampling method. Secondary data were from the records of program implementation at the state headquarters of Ministry of Health and the PHCs.
Results: A total of 116 (96.6%) health workers were interviewed; 17.2% were males, and 82.8% were females. More than two-thirds of respondents were aged between 41 and 60 years and 84.5% of them had worked in the PHC system for 11 years and above. Rural or urban location of the PHC, educational level of the health workers, and years of service in the PHC system did not have any significant effect on implementation of EID program in the health facilities. Implementation of EID program was ineffective in both rural and urban PHCs of Akwa Ibom state with the p-value of 0.337. In multiple regression analysis, access to EID program and provision of adequate supplies significantly affected implementation of the program with p = 0.001 and p = 0.000 respectively.
Conclusion and Implication for Translation: The study indicates general ineffectiveness in the implementation of EID in a Southern State of Nigeria. There is need to improve access to EID services and provide needed supplies if the state, and by extension Nigeria, hopes to meet the target of joining the global community in ending HIV by 2030.

Authors: Ahinkorah Bright Opoku , Seidu Abdul-Aziz , Budu Eugene , Armah-Ansah Ebenezer Kwesi , Agbaglo Ebenezer , Adu Collins , Ameyaw Edward Kwabena , Yaya Sanni
Published: October 2021

Background and Objective: Postnatal care is recognized as one of the most effective ways of preventing and managing physical and mental disabilities that occur during the postpartum period. Despite the importance of postnatal care, its utilization is low in Mali. The present study investigates factors associated with utilization of postnatal care services in Mali.
Methods: A total of 5,778 women who had complete information on all the variables of interest were included in our study. The data were analyzed with Stata version 14.2 by employing a multilevel logistic regression approach. The results were presented using adjusted odds ratios (aOR) at 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results: We found that 25.18% of childbearing women in Mali utilized postnatal care. Women with no education (aOR=1.28, 95% CI=1.02-1.62) and those with primary level of education (OR=1.38, 95% CI=1.06- 1.81) had higher odds of postnatal care uptake, compared to those with secondary/higher education. On the contrary, postnatal care service utilization was lower among women who were not covered by health insurance (aOR=0.63, 95% CI=0.46-0.88), those who were not working (aOR=0.82, 95% CI=0.70-0.96), and those who were not exposed to mass media (aOR=0.80, 95% CI=0.70-0.93). Similarly, compared to women in the Mopti region, women in all other regions were less likely to utilize postnatal care services. Postnatal care service utilization was lower among women in communities with low educational level (aOR = 0.42, 95% CI=0.27-0.66) and medium socio-economic status (aOR=0.59, 95% CI=0.36-0.99).
Conclusion and Implications for Translation: The study revealed several individual, household and community level factors as predictors of utilization of postnatal care services in Mali. Public health interventions intended to improve postnatal care services uptake in Mali should pay attention to these factors. This will help achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 3.1 which focuses on reducing the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100 000 live births by 2030.

Predictors of Female Genital Mutilation or Cutting Among Daughters of Women in Guinea, West Africa
Authors: Ahinkorah Bright Opoku , Ameyaw Edward Kwabena , Seidu Abdul-Aziz , Yaya Sanni
Published: October 2021

Background and Objective: In some African countries like Guinea, female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) has been considered as an essential social norm in ensuring girls’ and women’s virginity by reducing their sexual desires. This study aimed at examining the factors associated with FGM/C among daughters of women aged 15-49 in Guinea.
Methods: Using the 2018 Guinea Demographic and Health Survey, we analyzed data on 10,721 women of reproductive age (15-49 years) who had at least one daughter. A two-level multi-level logistic regression analysis was fitted and the random and fixed effects together with their corresponding 95% credible intervals (95% CrIs) were presented.
Results: Women of all age categories had higher odds of having circumcised daughters with the substantially highest odds among those aged 35-39 (aOR=26.10, CrI=11.22-53.94) compared to those aged 15-19. “FGM/C was higher among daughters of circumcised mothers (aOR=5.50, CrI=3.11-9.72), compared to those who were not circumcise. Compared to Muslims, women who were either animists or had no religion were more likely to circumcise their daughters (aOR=2.13, CrI=1.12-4.05). Conversely, women with secondary/higher education, whose partners had secondary/higher education, Christians, women of richest wealth index and those who lived in the Faranah and N’zerekore regions were less likely to circumcise their daughters.
Conclusion and Implications for Translation: The current study revealed that individual and contextual factors are associated with FGM/C among daughters of women aged 15-49 in Guinea. The findings imply that eliminating FGM/C in Guinea requires multifaceted interventions such as advocacy and educational strategies like focus group discussions, peer teaching, mentor-mentee programs in regions noted with the FGM/C practice. This will help achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 5.3 which focuses on eliminating all harmful practices, such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation by 2030.

With coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccination now available across the world, we sought to determine vaccination rates across countries with Universal Health Care (UHC) coverage versus those without. We utilized the vaccination information from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccinations website, and calculated early vaccination rate for each country as of January, 13, 2021 by dividing the total number of vaccinations given to the total population of the country. We observed that the average early vaccination rate for countries with UHC was 1.55%, whereas that for countries without UHC was 0.51%. Countries with UHC are performing much better than those without UHC in this initial race for providing herd immunity across the globe.

Coronavirus disease – 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination is a crucial part of a multi-faceted public health response, and possibly, the best hope for ending the pandemic. In this ecological study, we examined the relationship between Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita and early vaccination rates across the world. Spearman’s correlation analysis was utilized to assess the strength and direction of the relationship between countries’ COVID-19 vaccination rates and GDP per capita. We observed that countries with high vaccination rates had higher GDP per capita (Spearman’s ƍ=0.35, p-value=0.01). Our study provides valuable insight into the association of GDP per capita and the early distribution of the COVID-19 vaccination.

Bioactivities of Azadirachta indica, Murraya koenigii, liquorice and Nicotiana tobacum against two strains of Callosobruchus chinensis L.
Authors: Haidri Shireen Raza
Published: October 2021

The current research work was conducted for the evaluation of repellent and growth inhibitory potential of Azadirachta indica, Murraya koenigii, Nicotiana tobacum and Liquorice against Callosobruchus chinensis (L.). Each plant extract was tested with four concentrations viz; 5, 10, 15 & 20 % for bioassay experiments. Repellent potentials of acetone extract of the plants were evaluated by using the area preference method against the pulse beetle. The four dilutions of the extracted plant materials (extract) were used at one half of the filter papers (of each) while remaining halves were solely treated with acetone (used as control experimental unit) for the comparison purposes. Data regarding repellence were taken after 12, 24 and 48 hours of the post treatment. In repellency bioassay, the highest (93.32%) repellence of Callosobruchus chinensis was observed for which against 20% concentration of A. indica extract, whereas lowest repellence (78.87%) was recorded in case of Liquorice. Repellency values of 90.07% and 84.76% were recorded in extracts of M. koenigii and N. tobacum in Faisalabad strain. In case of Lahore strain highest repellence of C. chinensis was observed for which 95.16% at 20% concentration of A. indica extract was whereas relatively lowest value (82.04%) was recorded in case of Liquorice. Repellency values of 87.27% and 91.06% were recorded in extracts of M. koenigii and N. tobacum. The results regarding growth inhibitory effect revealed that highest mean progeny inhibition (78.12%) was noted at 20% dose rate of A. indica extracted plant material after longest exposure time (60 days). Comparatively lowest inhibition (28.21%) was noted after 30 days exposure period at 5% dilution of Liquorice extract in Faisalabad strain. Mean inhibition of progeny was found directly dependent on both time as well as concentration, applied. Results revealed that highest mean progeny inhibition (85.03%) was recorded at 20% concentration of A. indica extract after longest exposure time (60 days). Comparatively, lowest inhibition (35.18%) was recorded at 5% after 30 days of application of Nicotiana tobacum extract in Lahore strain. Hence, use of plant-based materials can be helpful for the ecofriendly management of the stored grains insect pests as a part of IPM program.

The present paper reports the occurrence of Tellin clam Serratina ostracea (Lamarck, 1818) from the Indian mainland. It was collected from the Talsari coast of Odisha state. This species was earlier reported from Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the probable reason for the dispersal of veliger larvae from its previous locality, Andaman, and Nicobar Islands to present locality Talsari (Odisha) coast was discussed here.
The Short-Term Impact of the COVID-19 Epidemic on Socio-Economic Activities in China Using OMI-NO2 Monitoring Results
Authors: Cao Hongye , Han Ling
Published: October 2021

As an air pollutant closely related to urban traffic and heavy industrial capacity, the variation of NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide) concentration can directly reflect the strength of socio-economic activities. Using the weekly average results of daily product synthesis of tropospheric NO2 column concentrations from OMI satellite inversion, a weekly-scale variation series of standardized socioeconomic activity index during the Spring Festival period of 2019-2021 is constructed. The results show that the Spring Festival holiday also suppresses socioeconomic activity in normal years, but the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic leads to an extended period of 2-3 weeks of weakened socioeconomic activity in China after the holiday, while the minimum value of socioeconomic activity intensity decreases by 0.12. Although socio-economic activity is significantly suppressed in the short term, the intensity of socio-economic activity rises steadily with the gradual resumption of work and production everywhere from the third week after the Spring Festival in China and has reached 60.91% of the highest level before the holiday in the seventh week after the holiday.

Published: October 2021

Background

There are some inconsistencies regarding the selection of the most appropriate usability evaluation method. The present study aimed to compare two expert-based evaluation methods in a nursing module, as the most widely used module of a Hospital Information System (HIS).
Methods

The Heuristic Evaluation (HE) and Cognitive Walkthrough (CW) methods were used by five independent evaluators to evaluate the nursing module of Shafa HIS. In this regard, the number, severity and ratio of the recognized problems according to the usability attributes were compared using two evaluation methods.
Results

The use of the HE and CW evaluation methods resulted in the identification of 104 and 24 unique problems, respectively. The average severity of the recognized problems was 2.32 in the HE method and 2.77 in the CW evaluation method; however, there was a significant difference between the number and severity of recognized usability problems by these methods (P < 0.001). Some problems, which were associated with effectiveness, satisfaction and error, were better recognized by the HE method; however, CW evaluation method was more successful in recognizing problems of learnability, efficiency and memorability.
Conclusion

The HE method recognized more problems with a lower average severity. On the other hand, CW could recognize fewer problems with a higher average severity. Regarding the evaluation goal, HE method would be used to improve effectiveness, increase satisfaction and decrease the number of errors. Furthermore, CW evaluation method is recommended to be used to improve the learnability, efficiency and memorability of the system.

Background: Second primary cancer has become an important issue among cancer survivors. This study sought to determine the differences in clinicopathologic outcomes between second primary breast cancer (SPBC) after ovarian cancer and primary breast cancer (PBC) in Korea.Methods: We searched the Korea Central Cancer Registry and identified 251,244 breast cancer cases that were diagnosed between 1999 and 2017. Demographic and clinical characteristics and overall survival (OS) rates were estimated according to age, histological type, and cancer stage.Results: Among the 228,329 patients included, 228,148 were patients with PBC and 181 were had SPBC, diagnosed after ovarian cancer (OC). The most common ages at diagnosis were 50‒59 years for SPBC and 40–49 years for PBC. Patients with SPBC were significantly less likely than patients with PBC to receive adjuvant radiotherapy (14.92% vs. 21.92%, p = 0.0228) or adjuvant chemotherapy (44.75% vs. 55.69%, p = 0.0031). Based on the age-standardized rate (ASR), the incidence of SPBC after OC was 293.58 per 100,000 ovarian patients and the incidence of PBC was 39.13 per 100,000 women. The 5-year OS rates were 72.88% and 89.37% for SPBC and PBC (p < 0.0001). The OS rate in SPBC decreased significantly with advanced stage and older age.Conclusion: The incidence of breast cancer is about 1.27 times higher in ovarian cancer patients than in healthy people. The survival outcomes were worse for SPBC than for PBC and were related to older age and advanced stage. Active screening for breast cancer is necessary in ovarian cancer patients.
