Background. There are many aspects of the development of immunity to the SARSCoV-2 virus, that remain poorly understood, like the influence of age-related characteristics on the intensity of immunity and the course of the disease. Studies of the state of immunity are widely used, mainly in the adults. But questions of the patho- and immunogenesis in children remain unsolved. Determining the nature of seroconversion of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in this age group is important information for serological monitoring for targeted immunoprophylaxis of the population and forecasting the epidemic situation in the region.

The aim. Evaluation of the dynamics of seroprevalence of specific antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in children of the Irkutsk region during the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection.

Materials and methods. Study was conducted among the child population of the Irkutsk region in the period June 2020 – December 2021 as part of the Rospotrebnadzor project to assess population immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in the population of the Russian Federation. The content of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 was determined by ELISA using native commercial test systems.

Results. Population immunity among the child population of the Irkutsk region was characterized by an upward trend from 7.8 % at stage 1 to 98.4 % at stage 6 of the study. IgG to SARS-CoV-2 remained in 72.8 % and formed in 25.6 % of previously seronegative children. Antibodies were detected in 66.1 % of cases and persisted for up to 10–15 months after COVID-19 infection. The proportion of asymptomatic forms of infection among seropositive volunteers was 69.5 %, which determines the high intensity of the latent epidemic process.

Conclusion. The level of seroprevalence was 98.4%. The current results of serological monitoring serve as a scientific basis for adjusting the list and scope of management decisions on the organization of preventive anti-epidemic measures, including vaccination.

An Analysis of the COVID-19 Consequences on the Uncertainty Socio-economic Indicators of Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Etienne Gatera
Published: March 2023

This study aims to investigate the main sectors of economic development before and the current situation of COVID-19 for Sub-Saharan African countries by demonstrating country experiences, the role of vaccines, and the SSA economy forecast. The study has four main sections, including an introduction, an overview of socioeconomic indicators before the pandemic, methods, results findings, and discussion. The study used mixed methods, including an approach based on secondary data. The quantitative results were analysed using both empirical methods and the researcher’s prior expertise. The analysis of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on SSA countries was based on long-term data collected by several international financial institutions. The research findings demonstrated conclusively that COVID-19 is causing the collapse of the SSA economy, the first economic recession in 25 years, $37-79 billion in lost GDP by 2020, and an export decrease of 10.6%. In education, for example, 64% of primary and 50% of secondary students lack ICT training, 89% (216 million) do not have access to a home computer, and 82% (199 million) do not have an Internet connection missed classes during the COVID-19 period. The agricultural sector in SSA is also impacted by over 239 million hungry people. COVID-19 mass vaccinations and public debt amount to over $154 billion in obligations to get the SSA economy back on its feet with zero tolerance for embezzlement of public funds. These results can be used to make the economies of SSA countries resilient to the current crises and to address some thematic issues, such as the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in all SSA countries, which will save time and money by getting rid of border taxes. Therefore, policymakers can use the findings to begin formulating plans to address issues like economic development, education, and food insecurity.

PENINGKATAN KUNJUNGAN WISATAWAN DI JAWA TENGAH BERBASIS E-CONTENT MARKETING DAN INFLUENCER SOCIAL MEDIA SERTA E-TRUST (Studi pada Pengunjung Destinasi Wisata di Jawa Tengah)
Authors: Ayuni Sri
Published: March 2023

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi lumpuhnya industri pariwisata akibat pandemi covid-19 pada awal tahun 2020. Banyak pelaku usaha yang terkait sektor pariwisata menutup usahanya dan banyak pekerja kehilangan pekerjaannya.Untuk memulihkan kembali industri pariwisata, khususnya di Jawa Tengah, diperlukan marketing communication yang tepat. Komunikasi pemasaran yang dahulunya biasa disebut dengan promosi. Komunikasi pemasaran lebih mengedepankan interkasi dua arah antara pengelola destinasi wisata dengan target pelanggan. Prakteknya komunikasi pemasaran kini dapat dilaksanakan dengan dua cara yakni komunikasi secara offline dan komunikasi secara online. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh e-content marketing, social media influencer (pemandu digital) dan e-trust terhadap keputusan mengunjungi tempat tempat wisata di Jawa Tengah. Focus utama content  adalah isi, gambar, desain grafis serta bentuk informasi dll. dan dari Influencer (peran pemandu digital). Sedangkan e-trust (kepercayaan konsumen) sebagai variabel mediasi untuk menggali apakah keputusan berkunjung wisatawan memang didasarkan pada kepercayaan konsumen atas konten  dan peran influencer yang diterimanya.Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa e-Content Marketing dan Influencer social media berpengaruh signifikan terhadap e-trust, namun keduanya tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap Keputusan Berkunjung. Hasil penelitian juga menyimpulkan bahwa e-trust memang benar-benar memediasi e-Content Marketing dan Influencer social media terhadap Keputusan Berkunjung. Perlunya penyedia jasa wisata lebih berfokus pada e-trust yaitu meyakinkan konsumen akan kebenaran informasi, kebenaran foto, gambar dan desain grafis. Selain itu penyedia jasa harus lebih teliti dalam memilih influencer social media.

We characterized cryoablation as a mode of clinical intervention in adult woodchucks with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Woodchucks (n = 4) were infected with woodchuck hepatitis virus at birth and developed LI-RADS-5 hypervascular HCC. At 21 mo of age, they underwent ultrasound
(US), contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) imaging, and US-guided subtotal cryoablation (IcePearl 2.1 CX, Galil, BTG) of their largest tumor (Mean HCC volume of 49 ± 9 cm3). Cryoablation was performed using two 10-min freeze cycles, each followed by an 8-min thaw cycle. The first
woodchuck developed significant hemorrhage after the procedure and was euthanized. In the other 3 woodchucks, the probe track was cauterized and all 3 completed the study. Fourteen days after ablation, CECT was performed, and woodchucks were euthanized. Explanted tumors were sectioned using
subject-specific, 3D-printed cutting molds. Initial tumor volume, the size of the cryoablation ice ball, gross pathology and hematoxylin and eosin–stained tissue sections were evaluated. On US, the edges of the solid ice balls were echogenic with dense acoustic shadowing and average
dimensions of 3.1 ± 0.5 × 2.1 ± 0.4 cm and cross-sectional area of 4.7 ± 1.0 cm 2. On day 14 after cryoablation, CECT of the 3 woodchucks showed devascularized hypo-attenuating cryolesions with dimensions of 2.8 ± 0.3 × 2.6 ± 0.4 ×
2.93 ± 0.7 cm and a cross-sectional area of 5.8 ± 1.2 cm2. Histopathologic evaluation showed hemorrhagic necrosis with a central amorphous region of coagulative necrosis surrounded by a rim of karyorrhectic debris. A rim of approximately 2.5 mm of coagulative necrosis
and fibrous connective tissue clearly demarcated the cryolesion from adjacent HCC. Partial cryoablation of tumors produced coagulative necrosis with well-defined ablation margins at 14 d. Cauterization appeared to prevent hemorrhage after cryoablation of hypervascular tumors. Our findings
indicate that woodchucks with HCC may provide a predictive preclinical model for investigating ablative modalities and developing new combination therapies.

Authors: Landicho Leila D. , Ramirez Ma. Armie Janica P.
Published: March 2023

This article highlights the experiences, contributions, and lessons generated from the ten selected APN capacity development programmes implemented from 2011-2019 and focused on enhancing the resilience and adaptive capacity of rural farming communities in Southeast Asia. These capacity development projects employed varying strategies and approaches. Some projects centred on training and building the technical capabilities of service providers, while others have directly trained and built the capacities of the farming communities. Some projects emphasised the promotion of nature-based and sustainable farming techniques such as agroforestry, conservation farming, rainwater harvesting, and indigenous agricultural practices that helped farming communities cope and adapt to climate change impacts. At the core of these capacity development programmes are collaboration and partnerships that were built and institutionalised among different sectors, such as academia, local government units, and the farming communities. These multisectoral collaborations hastened the project implementation and generation of project outputs and gave way to the sustainability of the project initiatives. These projects have generated numerous outputs that paved the way for enhanced social and human capital development of various stakeholders, science-based decision-making by policymakers; adoption of sustainable farming techniques and technologies; and knowledge generation and advancement of science. More importantly, these projects have developed a model for enhancing the adaptive capacity and resilience of rural farming communities in Southeast Asia.

The role of young adults aged can determine the current condition of the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19. There has been no report on the discharge status of young adults to date. An overview of the status and condition of the young adult is essential to report. A cross-sectional study was used, with the samples confirming COVID-19 cases in patients aged 18-25. They were the 384 patients without and with vaccination, respectively. Inclusion criteria are positive confirmed patients hospitalized for the first time, have been examined by PCR, and pregnant young adults being excluded; related factors were identified using multivariate analysis. Young adults as non-vaccinated patients and death in males 3 (21.4%), females 11 (78.6%), with 174 (47%) in males and 196 (53%) females of the cases recovered with three comorbidities. The initial symptoms in recovered patients were cough, fever, anosmia, cold, headache and sore throat. In vaccinated patients, the men who recovered were 181 (47.1%), women 203 (52.9%), and no one died. In non-vaccinated patients, there was a relationship between the discharged status of the patient and gender (OR = 2.314; 95% CI = 1.25 to 5.67; p =0.034) and anosmia (OR = 4.21; CI = 2.57 to 10.24; p = 0.017). This study reported that the initial symptoms felt in non-vaccinated and recovered young adult patients were cough, fever, anosmia, cold, headache and sore throat with three comorbidities, and those were associated with gender and anosmia.

Published: March 2023

The incidence of Alzheimer's dementia worldwide is increasing rapidly. It is estimated that nearly 50 million people are diagnosed with dementia worldwide and 20.9 million in Asia Pacific. In Indonesia, it is estimated that there were around 1.2 million people with dementia in 2016, which will increase to 2 million in 2030 and 4 million people in 2050. The elderly/people with dementia need assistance from family members to carry out daily activities because of its limitations. This research aims to understand the needs of elderly people with dementia and caregivers who accompany them in nursing homes, to develop dignified services. The research was conducted in Jakarta with 22 research subjects, consisting of 10 elderly with dementia and ten caregivers as the primary informants and two key informants who were the caretakers of the nursing home. The method used is qualitative, with data collection techniques through participant observation, in-depth interviews, document studies, and Focus Group Discussions. Data analysis used the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method. The results showed that all elderly with dementia had a history of comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, stroke, psychosis, insomnia, dyslipidemia, presbycusis), so they experienced moderate to severe dependence, which indicated the need for long-term care. Meanwhile, all caregivers are formal caregivers (not from the family) but have not received adequate education and training on dementia and methods of assisting the elderly with dementia.

Published: March 2023

Researchers in heat transfer are paying close attention to nanofluids because of their potential as high-performance thermal transport media. In light of natural convection's enormous significance, the addition of nanoparticles significantly enhances the thermophysical properties of the nanofluids compared to the base fluid. In this study, numerical work was used to evaluate the influence of CuO nanoparticles on natural convection with the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow in a square cavity. The hollow's left and right vertical walls were maintained at different temperatures, and the top and bottom walls of the cavity were each insulated. This numerical study applied a horizontal magnetic field with uniform strength. Results were obtained for a variety of Hartmann numbers ranging from 0–300, Rayleigh numbers going from 2.76E+8 to 6.89E+8, and solid volume fractions ranging from 0 to 1.5%. Results showed that the heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number values decreased with the increase in the values of the Hartmann number, except for the heat transfer coefficients at Ha=100 and 150 were larger than the heat transfer coefficients at Ha= 0. The maximum heat transfer coefficient enhancement was 40.8% at 1.5% volume concentration of CuO nanoparticles, Ra= 6.7E+8 and Ha=100 compared to water at Ha=0. The maximum enhancement of the Nusselt number was found to be 28.5% at a 1.5% volume concentration of CuO nanoparticles Ra= 6.7E+8 and Ha=100 compared to water at Ha=0. At a 1.5% volume concentration of CuO nanoparticles, Ra= 6.7E+8 and Ha=100, the increase in the heat transfer coefficient was 56 %, and the rise in the Nusselt number was 43 % compared to water at Ha=100.

School governance in Nepal: A perspective of new public management theory
Authors: Adhikari Devendra
Published: March 2023

School Management Committees have the tasks to maintain good governance of public schools in Nepal. The School Management Committees are driven by the New Public Management theory. The theory advocates for the transformation of public administration into public management which began in Nepal in 1990 A.D. and has continued thereafter. The purpose of this article is to identify the changes in the application of New Public Management theory in school governance through the perspective of power-sharing between communities and local governments. In this study, I have applied the narrative policy review method to gather evidences and enrich the discussion. I have presented some discussion notes to show that the School Management Committee model was practiced with the engagements of parents and communities from 2003 to 2016 A.D. After 2015, the active role of the parents and communities in school governance was shifted to the jurisdiction of local governments, which I have concluded as an alteration in the New Public Management model. I recommend that the core and leading engagement of parents and communities in school governance should be ensured for the good governance of schools in Nepal, in which local governments can act as a watchdog. The study, carried out based on New Public Management theoretical referent, is helpful to scholars to understand the change in the application of New Public Management theory through the perspective of school governance in Nepal.
Perception of dalits who entered civil service through reservation system in Nepal
Authors: Paudyal Pritha
Published: March 2023

Historically, Dalits have been one of the most marginalized caste groups in Nepal. Always pushed to the fringes of society, deprived of opportunities to make their way out of caste-based hierarchy, Dalits have always been among the lower rungs of society. To eliminate such discriminations and ensure their adequate representation at least in civil service, the concept of reservation, or quota-based hiring was introduced. This exploratory study attempts to understand how Dalits who have entered the civil service through the reservation system perceive themselves as civil servants.
As per the findings of this study, Dalits who have entered the government through reservation system feel isolated and perceive others see them as incapable and not trustworthy. They also feel there exists an indirect discrimination in society which is something that they have experienced all their life. The study confirmed that Dalits who enter the government civil service through reservation system aspire to receive more encouragement at work, as they perceive such thrust will nurture confidence and result in better performance, but their caste status seems to have created problems to realize their aspiration into reality.

La infección por virus de varicela zóster (VVZ) durante el embarazo se engloba en el espectro de infecciones STORCH (acrónimo de sífilis, toxoplasmosis, otros, rubéola, citomegalovirus y herpes virus), debido a su potencial teratogénico y sus posibles repercusiones en el bienestar fetal. A pesar de que solo 2% de las pacientes con infección por VVZ en el embarazo tendrán fetos con síndrome congénito de varicela, su alta morbimortalidad hace necesario conocer posibles formas de prevención. En nuestro caso, una madre de 27 años da a luz un neonato con múltiples malformaciones óseas y lesiones cutáneas típicas, asociadas con malformaciones cardiacas y calcificaciones viscerales evidenciadas por imagenología. Ante la comprobación clínica y paraclínica de la infección, se diagnosticó síndrome congénito de varicela. El paciente presentó una evolución tórpida desde el nacimiento, con neumonía multirresistente, enterocolitis necrotizante y rápido deterioro de su patrón respiratorio con posterior fallecimiento. En la actualidad la vacunación y el uso de inmunoglobulina posexposición son los principales aliados para la prevención de este síndrome en recién nacidos.
A RESTRIÇÃO À LIBERDADE DE EXPRESSÃO DIANTE DOS DISCURSOS DE ÓDIO E DO HUMOR HOMOFÓBICO CONTRA A COMUNIDADE LGBTQIAPN+ NO BRASIL
Authors: Santos Ariel Sousa , Resende Augusto Cesar Leite de
Published: March 2023

Malgrado a população LGBTQIAPN+ tenha conquistado diversos direitos e garantias fundamentais que se encontram positivados na Constituição Federal de 1988, na Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos de 1948, e protegidos pelas Cortes Superiores, estas pessoas ainda são alvos de discursos de ódio (hate speech) e do humor homofóbico, tendo a sua dignidade humana ferida, vez que a liberdade de expressão é corriqueiramente utilizada para justificar a prática de atos nocivos contra os indivíduos em comento. Nesse toar, esta pesquisa justifica-se pelo seu viés social e pela sua abrangência nacional, por ser um problema presente em todo o território brasileiro, e que deslegitima as conquistas obtidas pela comunidade LGBTQIAPN+. Assim, analisar-se-á a possibilidade de restrição do direito à liberdade de expressão perante a prática de discursos de ódio e do humor homofóbico no Brasil, observando-se o Princípio da Proporcionalidade.

COVID-19 pandemic has been highly detrimental to both the overall economy and the financial performances of firms in all sectors. It has placed increased pressure on the manufacturing capacity and supply chains throughout the world, but it has also provided new opportunities for the logistics industry to make advancements in ecommerce. This study analyses the financial performance of 130 Saudi firms that listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange in order to explore those dynamics which belong to the following sectors (energy, material, industrials, consumer discretionary, communication services, consumer staples, healthcare, financial, information technology and utilities). To facilitate comparison between several ratios in 2019 and 2020, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was conducted. This study determined that there was no improvement to any of the 130 listed firms in the sample during this time, which is reassuring for businesses in Saudi Arabia, as over the same period, the Saudi Economy shrunk. These findings are useful for businesses to plan for Covid-19 like disruptions in the future.
Investigating Stochastic Volatility during Periods of Financial Distress: Evidence from International Financial Markets
Authors: Enow Samuel Tabot
Published: March 2023

Capturing the dynamic properties of financial market volatility has always been very auspicious in asset pricing. The mean reverting properties of financial markets are of paramount importance for investment decision makers with far reaching implications. The purpose of this study was to investigate stochastic volatility in international financial markets during periods of financial distress. Accordingly, a Heston model was used to stochastic volatility in the CAC 40, DAX, JSE, Nasdaq Index and the Nikkei-225 during the 2007-2008 financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic. This study used January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 and December 1, 2007 to June 30, 2009 as the sample period representing the Covid-19 pandemic and financial crisis respectively. The findings of this study revealed the extortionate stochastic volatility during the Covid-19 pandemic compared to the financial crisis. There will be slightly higher than normal arbitrage opportunities and mispricing in most financial markets as a result of the pandemic.
Proposing New Hybrid Models for Multicriteria Inventory ABC Classification
Authors: Zowid Fauzi
Published: March 2023

The literature is abundant with research studies that have been developed to provide an efficient model which has never been studied for multicriteria inventory classification MCIC problems. Therefore, this study proposes two hybrid inventory classification systems. Recently, the TOPSIS model has been widely developed, initially examined, and found very efficient to the (MCIC) due to its advantages and simplicity of use. In contrast, to the best of our knowledge, the PROMETHEE II and COPRAS models for determining (criteria weights) parameter values and classification, resulting in low/or competitive inventory cost and high service level. The proposed models utilize two sets of weights of CRITIC and Spearman’s rho (SR) tools for learning and optimizing PROMETHEE II and COPARS. In addition, a performance analysis is validated using a real-world dataset composed of 63 stock-keeping units (SKUs). The performance is compared to existing six MCIC classification models. The results reflect performances of the proposed models. Additionally, the comparative analysis indicates that the COPRAS model is the most preferred. Finally, the performance of the proposed models can be a great support for the overall supply chain system and decisions.

Objective: To ascertain any relationship between coping strategies, sexual orientation and gender diversity in regard to high school students in Bangkok, and to examine coping strategies among sexual and gender minority youths. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional survey included 600 students across Bangkok, Thailand. Participants completed an online questionnaire, consisting of demographic data and the Adolescent Coping Scale (Thai version). Descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used for data analysis (p-value≤0.05). Results: The participants included 301 males (50.2%), and 299 females (49.8%), with a mean age of 16.6. The sample identified as 83.7% cisgender, 16.3% non-cisgender (transgender, non-conforming, questioning/unspecified, and others), 64.8% heterosexual, and 35.2% non-heterosexual (homosexual, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, questioning/unspecified, and others). Females used more non-productive coping strategies than males (p-value=0.001), non-cisgender youths used more non-productive coping than cisgender youths (p-value<0.001), and non-heterosexual youths used more non-productive coping than heterosexual youth (p-value<0.001). Coping strategies mostly used by sexual and gender minority male youths were worrying, ignoring the problem, and wishful thinking, while coping strategies most used by sexual and gender minority female youths were worrying, not coping, and keeping to one’s self. Conclusion: Differences in regards to the sex assigned at birth, gender identity, and sexual orientation had a statistically significant correlation with different coping strategies, specifically in sexual and gender minority youths who used nonproductive coping strategies.

The results of cytogenetic and i-FISH investigations in bone marrow cells of 99 patients at diagnosis of multiple myeloma are presented. Metaphase chromosomes slides were prepared according to the generally accepted methods, after 24 and 96 h of cultivation in nutrient medium without stimulation. According to the clone structure, karyotypes with normal and normal/near tetraploid clones were dominated (78.3 %). With regard to the ploidy level, pseudodiploid clones were recorded more often (12.1 %), hyperdiploidy was revealed in 7.2 % cases. Among the structural rearrangements, the deletions were dominated, namely, 12.1 % were found by cytogenetic study and 34.5 % – by- i-FISH. The structural rearrangements were shown to involve chromosomes 13 and 17 (6 % and 1.2 %, respectively) more frequently using standard cytogenetic study, while del(17p) and del(13q) (24.1 % and 15.5 %, respectively) – by- i-FISH. Atypically low was a frequency of translocations involving the gene IgH (14q32) (1,8 %). Unusual distribution of the signals with the involvement of IgH gene indicates an additional mechanism for the abnormal clone formation. By the cytogenetic analysis data, 8.9% cases, by the i-FISH data, 34.5 % cases and summarizing both methods – 52.2 % cases, were referred to the group of adverse genetic prognosis during the course of disease.
