Authors:   , Ganesh Shayhana
Published: July 2022

HIV-AIDS has infected more than 37 million individuals globally and has resulted in approximately 35 million HIV-AIDS related deaths globally since its discovery 35 years ago. HIV-AIDS remains a global and local health crisis as, despite innovative and accessible HIV-AIDS prevention efforts, the disease continues to spread. UNAIDS estimated over 2 milliion new HIV-AIDS infections with 700 000 of these infections occurring in young African women in 2015, revealing that the burden of HIV-AIDS is far from over (UNAIDS, 2016). As more individuals become infected with HIV-AIDS, more infected individuals are living longer, productive lives due to the international rollout and scale-up of life-saving antiretroviral (ARV) therapy aimed at halting disease progression. In 16 years, the world has initiated over 16 million HIV-infected individuals onto ARV programmes across the world aimed at preserving first line drug effectiveness of treatment, less resistance and lower mortality and morbidity rates( UNAIDS, 2016). This number is set to double as countries across the globe take bold steps to provide ARV treatment for all, based on latest WHO guideline changes. The initiative of ARV roll out for all HIV-positive individuals globally, brings with it the challenges and complexities of infrastructure support, resource allocation, uninterrupted drug supply, global access and clinical training requirements for HIV-AIDS programmes across the globe. Quality management systems with monitoring and evaluation frameworks in particular play a pivotal role in planning, allocating and utilising resources for optimal health benefits.This research study reviews available data on the prevalence of quality management systems in HIV-AIDS healthcare and identifies gaps and smart practises towards recommendations for comprehensive global HIV-AIDS standards development. This research study aims to propose a conceptual monitoring and evaluation framework derived from quality management systems for management of HIV-AIDS private sector programmes that can be used in both public and private healthcare sectors through analysis of current conceptual frameworks in the HIV-AIDS healthcare and the HIV-AIDS programmes within the South African context of HIV-AIDS healthcare provision.
Tourism graduate employability : stakeholder perceptions of workplace learning for graduate employment
Authors:   , Naicker Daphanie
Published: July 2022

With the accelerating growth in the tourism industry and its anchorage in the service-industry, the utilisation of people is a valuable resource for a tourism organisation. There are increased pressures on educational institutions from the government and the tourism industry to produce employable graduates. Thus, it remains imperative that tourism organisations have access to a pool of human resources that possess the required knowledge, skills and attitudes. As a result, educational institutions build workplace learning (WPL) into tourism curricula to ensure the transferability of skills and a smoother transition for all stakeholders into the tourism industry. This study set out to determine the impact WPL has on a tourism student’s employability in the tourism industry. The literature highlights a number of key issues hindering the success of WPL for tourism graduate employability. These include, a lack of alignment of curriculum, supervision challenges and partnerships with the tourism industry. Using a mixed methodological approach comprising both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, comparisons among stakeholders’ perceptions and attitudes were conducted. The stakeholders are: tourism graduates from 2011-2014, academic supervisors and workplace supervisors in the tourism industry. Stakeholders’ perceptions of WPL structured the depth and sharpened understanding of the success as well as issues hindering the successful implementation of WPL and consequent unemployment. Among the main challenges were the placement of students and the inadequate feedback between stakeholders. The empirical findings underpinned effective communication as imperative in developing and maintaining quality partnerships for WPL. Among the many knock on benefits is the successful transfer of skills to tourism students. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the dearth of literature on tourism WPL and tackle salient gaps in tourism employability.

Application of Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) to Rural Communities in Kenya
Authors: Githinji Rosabel Wanjiku
Published: July 2022

There is growing evidence of the positive role ICTs can play in development, particularly in rural areas of developing countries using public services in the form of telecentres. Emphasizing proactive measures ensures ICTs serve as effective tools for social inclusion, social change, and widespread access, especially for the poor and disadvantaged communities. This research study explores the application of Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) in a rural community in Kenya, by evaluating the Nguruman Community Knowledge Center (CKC), established in 2003 by a development organization. This study uses a participatory ethnographic research method that combines participatory techniques and ethnographic research, with the potential of feeding into action research. The research makes use of the communicative ecology approach in evaluating communication and ICTs for development. In this study, ICTs, particularly traditional ICTs (radio and television) significantly contribute to improving people’s living conditions by making information available that helps in solving real problems encountered. The expectations of community members who use these ICTs reflect their level of understanding of the relationship that exists between these tools and the improvement of their living conditions as well as enhancing development efforts. The study shows that the context and institutional framework for ICTs in Kenya are changing which reflects the government’s commitment to being part of the information society, especially in rural communities. Despite this, a gap exists between the aspirations of policymakers and the reality in rural areas owing to the poor state of ICT and general infrastructure.

High accuracy calculation and data quality evaluation of ship emissions based on the sniffer method
Authors: Zhu Letian , Zhou Fan
Published: July 2022

Abstract. More attention has been paid to the air pollution caused by ship emissions; hence the establishment of accurate emission inventories is an important means to assess the impact on the environment and human beings. The emission factor is an important parameter in the process of compiling the ship emission inventory, yet there is some uncertainty in its estimation based on the sniffer method. In this study, taking the calculation of SO2 emission factors as an example and aiming at the selection of gas measurement values using the sniffer method, the concept of standard deviation of peak density was proposed to determine the optimal integral interval length of the measured values of SO2 and CO2. Then, the improved Manhattan distance was used to characterize the position of the peak points in the SO2 and CO2 average series. Using the dynamic time warping algorithm, the corresponding relationship of the peak points in the average series of the measured gases was determined, and the global optimal peak points were selected from it. To evaluate the credibility of calculated emission factors, 16 evaluation indexes that reflect the characteristics of the measured data were selected. The confidence interval of 95 % of each evaluation index was calculated using self-development sampling of the measured data, and the evaluation result of the evaluation index for the quality of the measured data was obtained. Combined with the data quality label, the indexes with high correct rate were screened. Finally, the evaluation scores were determined according to these selected indexes. We collected a total of 148 sets of "SO2+CO2" measurement data between 2019 and 2021 using the unmanned aerial vehicle sniffing monitoring system in the Waigaoqiao Port area of Shanghai, China for verification using the method proposed in this study. The results show that for this data set, 12 s is the most suitable integral length, with which the algorithm can automatically calculate the emission factor. The screening results of the global optimal peak points of 129 groups of data are consistent with those of artificial screening, with a correct rate of 87.16 %. The accuracy of the combined evaluation of sample entropy (SO2), information entropy (SO2), skewness (CO2) and quartile spacing (SO2) is 71 %. Previous calculation of the emission factor of ships mainly focused on different conditions such as time, region, fuel, engine, ship type, and navigation status. Our in-depth study proposes a high accuracy ship emission factors calculation method and an evaluation of the quality of the measurement data that reduces uncertainty in the current sniffer technique monitoring ship emission research.
Enhancing drought monitoring and assessment capability in India through high-resolution (250 m) data
Authors: Ambika Anukesh , Mishra Vimal
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Drought poses a tremendous challenge to India's socioeconomic development, livelihood, agriculture, and water management. While existing drought monitoring systems have characterized drought impact at different scales, policymaking and management require drought assessment at sub-district or taluka (sub-district) levels. Here, we develop high-resolution (250 m) agriculture drought indices for the Indian region to overcome the shortcomings of the coarse resolution datasets. We used the co-kriging to downscale the Land Surface Temperature (LST) from 1000 m to 250 m. The LST and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) are obtained at 8-day intervals at 250 m spatial resolution. The high-resolution datasets show significant improvement in identifying the severity and coverage of drought. Soil Moisture Agriculture Drought Index (SMADI), which accounts for water stress and vegetation lag response, shows high reliability in drought detection. We evaluated drought extent and severity using the newly developed dataset and found that the high-resolution dataset can be used to separate the irrigation impact on drought alleviation. The high-resolution drought indices from SMADI and the Normalized Vegetation Supply Water Index (NVSWI) effectively represent the drought conditions at district and taluka levels that can be used in drought impacts assessments in India.
Coupling landslide susceptibility and connectivity models for cost-effective mitigation of landslide-derived sediment delivered to streams
Authors: Spiekermann Raphael , Smith Hugh , McColl Sam , Burkitt Lucy , Fuller Ian
Published: July 2022

We present a morphometric landslide connectivity model using lasso logistic regression that aims to predict the likelihood of sediment delivery to streams following landslide initiation. The model is used to investigate determinants of sediment connectivity for a landslide-triggering storm event in 1977 in the Wairarapa, New Zealand. A range of connectivity scenarios are explored by defining a set of sinks and simulating varying rates of sediment generation during flood events of increasing magnitude. Sediment delivery ratios ranged between 0.21 and 0.29, depending on the definition of sink. When accounting only for direct deposition into streams, the event sediment yield was estimated at 3548 t/km2. However, when assuming continued sediment recruitment at reduced rate by overland flow across saturated soils as well as post-event reworking of deposited material, the maximum sediment yield was estimated at 9033 t/km2. This estimate of event sediment yield is approximately 2.5 times greater than estimates only considering landslide deposits connecting to streams directly and challenges previous assumptions related to sediment delivery ratios and the importance of shallow landsliding for sediment budgets.

Furthermore, the influence of coalescing landslide deposits in determining sediment delivery is assessed. An important outcome of the lasso regression is the potential consequence of over-reliance on individual landslide scar size as a predictor of connectivity. Without considering contributions of landslide-derived material from multiple sources to the transport of delivery downslope, the run-out distance is likely to be underestimated for shallow landslides.

Finally, sediment mobility from shallow landslides is quantified by coupling statistical landslide susceptibility and sediment connectivity models in a modular form.  We present results from scenario modelling for fifty silvopastoral farms and quantify the cost-effectiveness of targeted versus non-targeted approaches to shallow landslide mitigation at the scale of individual trees. The cost-effectiveness of targeted mitigation of landslide-derived sediment is found to be approximately 10-fold greater than a non-targeted approach. An important finding of the landslide susceptibility and connectivity modelling is that, in total, only 6.5% of farmland is the potential source of approximately two-thirds of landslide-derived sediment across the 50 farms. Due to existing vegetation, this area has already been reduced to 4.7%. Further reductions in future sediment delivery can be achieved by increasing slope stability on these highly susceptible and connected slopes through additional biological mitigation.

Published: July 2022

Most breeders generally feed their livestock only with grass, but for the grass itself it will be food that is easily found and is mostly given to livestock. However, most people still use machetes or sickles to cultivate grass, therefore SMEs have emerged in dealing with grass processing. The tool made is a grass chopper machine, the machine that was created also has several variations, one of which is a double knife chopper machine made by one of the students of the Nusa Cendana University Kupang, namely Stenly Naitboho. Therefore, this research was conducted to assess the performance of the chopper machine based on a feasibility study, in terms of the percentage length of the chopped material and the consumption of fuel used along with the production costs of this tool. In completing this research, several methods are needed to launch it, namely literature study and observation. After using the method used, the results of the chopping can be found, namely the percentage of the length of the chopped material measuring < 5 cm (W1) obtained an average of 54.62%, while the average percentage of the length of the chopped material measuring > 5 cm (W2) is 45.28%. For the size of the good chopped results is 2-5 cm in accordance with SNI 7785.1:2003 concerning the requirements for the results of the forage chopping machine. Another result in this study is the consumption of fuel used during the census obtained an average of 0.6 /hour. Based on SNI 7580:2013 the requirements for chopper work for fuel consumption of this machine are in category A. Production costs are obtained at a price of Rp. 4,122,200/ unit.

Influence of genital Mycoplasmosis in cows on indicators of cellular immunity of their offspring
Authors: Vasiliev R. M.
Published: July 2022

Obtaining healthy offspring with good productive qualities is an urgent task in the conditions of modern animal husbandry. Any diseases of pregnant animals affect the fetus to varying degrees. In this regard, of particular interest is the study of the state of cellular immunity of calves in the presence of genital mycoplasmosis in their mothers. Studies were carried out on 7–9-day old calves obtained from cows with genital mycoplasmosis and healthy cows. The presence of genital mycoplasmosis was confirmed by a PCR test for Mycoplasma spp., followed by serological identification of M. bovigenitalium. In calves, the absolute content of lymphocytes, the relative and absolute content of T- and B-lymphocytes were determined. The results of the study show that genital mycoplasmosis in mother cows leads to a deficiency of cellular immunity in their calves, which is manifested by a significant decrease in both the absolute and relative content of lymphocytes, as well as an imbalance in their subpopulations.

Published: July 2022

Obstetric and gynecological diseases in cows, including endometritis, are one of the main obstetric and gynecological problems in animal husbandry. To date, the incidence rate of cows with endometritis of various etiologies is quite high and amounts to 37.5%. The arsenal of drugs used in veterinary obstetrics, gynecology, andrology and reproductive technologies is constantly growing and expanding. In recent decades, new veterinary drugs have appeared on the drug market, which are used in clinical practice to regulate reproductive function and for therapeutic purposes in domestic and wild animals.

A business organisation operates towards achieving success by adopting models that align with its values and long term objectives. Models adopted describe the processes and workflows of individual firms for continuous improvement of business operations. Improvement in business operations is achieved through constant reviews and feedback from customers. The study conducted an analytical review of the business process of a selected logistics firm listed on London Stock Exchange. The selected firm was Royal mail Plc. The review focused on the feedback, comments and performance of Royal mail Plc for a period of six (6) years spanning from 2015 to 2020. Voyant tool was employed for text mining the feedback and comments from Royal mail Plc’s customers as posted on its website. The reviewed comment from the customers showed that most of the company’s customers were not satisfied by the services of the company. Also, the z-scores for the frequently used token were computed to show the solvency of the company based on customers’ feedback. The indicated z-score from the customers review showed that the company is not in good shape and would need to urgently address the complaints of its customers to avoid going into liquidation.
Reflections about the Molecular Tool That Could Change the Course of Human History: Genome Editing
Authors: Velasquez-Vasconez Pedro Alexander
Published: July 2022

Genetic editing has many applications in almost all areas of society, but may also lead to unpredictable consequences. Genome editing to modify the human germline is at the center of global discussion. Owing to the increasing number of unanswered scientific, ethical, and policy questions, the scientific community agrees that it would be inappropriate to genetically modify embryos. A serious and open debate is necessary to decide whether such research should be suspended or encouraged. Here we show some bold arguments in favor of deleting deleterious genes from the human genome and the risks liberal eugenism poses.
