Severe pulmonary Nocardia nova infection in a kidney transplant patient

This article describes the disease course of a severe Nocardia nova infection in a patient with an underlying immunodeficiency due to a kidney transplantation, with the visualisation of Nocardia colonies in the pleural cavity through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

The patient was hospitalised in the emergency department with acute respiratory symptoms and respiratory failure. A CT scan of the chest revealed a massive unilateral pleural effusion with complete compressive atelectasis of the left lung. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery revealed bloody pleural effusion and white, nodular, pleural structures. Cultures of the biopsies grew N. nova. The empiric antibiotic treatment was switched to a combination therapy with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, meropenem and a single dose of amikacin. Sensitivity testing revealed a strain of N. nova resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The antibiotics were thereupon switched to linezolid and meropenem. Unfortunately, the patient died due to a refractory septic shock with multi-organ failure.

Infections due to the Nocardia genus are rare and usually occur in patients with underlying immunodeficiencies. Pulmonary disease is the most frequent presentation and pleural effusion is common. Disseminated disease with central nervous system and skin involvement is also frequent. A correct microbiological diagnosis, species identification and sensitivity testing are of utmost importance because of the high intra- and interspecies differences. The strain isolated in this case had an unexpected resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, which is considered to be the cornerstone treatment of a Nocardia infection.

Posttraumatic bone edema three months after anterior cruciate ligament injury and correlation with pain, a comparison between operatively and conservatively treated patients: an exploratory analysis of the IODA pilot trial

Background/Purpose: Recent years have seen a surge of research comparing conservative treatment with immediate surgery for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, with some studies reporting comparable clinical outcomes between both approaches. In this study, we aim to compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in both treatment groups, in particular bone edema.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial involved 25 patients with an acute ACL injury who were assigned to 1) immediate ACL reconstruction or 2) conservative treatment with optional delayed surgery. (1) Two MRI scans were conducted, at the time of injury and after three months, and scored using the Anterior Cruciate Ligament OsteoArthritis Score (ACLOAS). Pain was assessed using the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). A multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of both treatments on bone edema evolution; while a bivariate correlation analysis was conducted to examine the possible relationship between bone edema and pain.

Results: Type of treatment had a significant influence on the amount of bone edema after three months, after correcting for bone edema at diagnosis, with higher scores in the operative group. No significant correlation was observed between bone edema and pain at the time of injury (r=0,183, p=0,403) or after three months (r=0,161, p=0,499).

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that ACL reconstruction may have an adverse effect on the amount of bone edema at three months, although no significant correlation was seen between bone edema and pain. Further analysis with larger sample size are planned (IODA trial).

TOWARDS BUILDING AN INTELLIGENT MOBILE APP FOR RAINFALL PREDICTION USING WEIGHTED AVERAGE ENSEMBLE DEEP SUPERVISED LEARNING
Authors: Afolayan Abimbola H.
Published: February 2024

Predicting rainfall accurately and on time is essential for a variety of tasks, including electricity generation, building, flood warnings, aviation operations, and the sustainable use of water resources. Traditionally, rainfall forecasts were based on physical models of the atmosphere, which are imprecise over extended periods of time due to their instability to perturbations and thus, are inaccurate for large periods. Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques as a means of predicting rainfall have been applied in most developed countries, these have been found to offer many possibilities. AI techniques are more robust to perturbations. Over the past 20 years, rainfall forecasting using AI approaches has demonstrated astounding precision. Rainfall forecasting accuracy could be increased by AI algorithms that use historical weather data elements to reveal hidden trends. This study thereafter proposed the development of an AI mobile app for predicting rainfall that is based on weighted average ensemble deep supervised learning that combines three machine learning algorithms namely; Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). . In order to prevent future outbreaks of rainfall hazards, the proposed AI mobile app for rainfall prediction will aid in raising awareness among the public, government officials, planning agencies, disaster management agencies, and related organizations.

Published: February 2024

This research delves into the nuanced landscape of implementing reading programs for non-readers in Indigenous People (IP) schools, uncovering the experiences, challenges, and strategies encountered by school administrators and reading coordinators. The study, conducted in selected elementary schools in Davao De Oro, engages nine participants using a meticulously designed interview guide validated by experts. Adhering to ethical standards outlined in the Belmont Report, the data gathering process employs in-depth interviews, meticulously audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim to ensure reliability. The qualitative data undergoes a multiple case study analysis, following Creswell’s qualitative method. Addressing four research questions, the study explores the implementation of reading practices, roadblocks faced, management strategies employed, and insights gained from IP school programs. Emerging themes highlight the significance of continuous practice, contextualization of materials, routinary reading activities, differentiated programs, and alternative reading approaches. Identified roadblocks encompass challenges in fundamental reading skills mastery, parental support deficiencies, language transition difficulties, and hesitant attitudes toward reading practices. Management strategies applied by school heads and reading coordinators focus on delegation, orientation, hands-on activities, parental involvement, and budget allocation for diverse learners. Insights emphasize the imperative to develop significant reading skills, involve parents in reading and writing acquisition, master letter names and sounds, strengthen reading practices, and ignite the interest of diverse non-readers in mastering reading skills. This research enriches the education field by providing a holistic perspective on challenges and strategies in implementing reading programs for non-readers in IP schools. The findings underscore the necessity of a multifaceted approach, integrating skill development, parental involvement, and tailored strategies to sustain interest in reading among diverse learners.
O ESTABELECIMENTO COMERCIAL, ENQUANTO OBJECTO DE DIREITOS, EM ANGOLA
Authors: Sukuakueche Simão Antunes , Frugoni Alina Carmen Celi
Published: February 2024

Esta pesquisa estuda o estabelecimento comercial em Angola (enquanto unidade jurídica-empresarial), cujo foco é à análise (crítica e aprofundada) do quadro legal dos direitos que lhes são inerentes (a posse, a usucapião, o direito de propriedade, o usufruto, maxime, o penhor e os embargos de terceiro). Grosso modo, esses direitos não estão definidos e abordados de forma expressa, objectiva e concreta na legislação angolana. Essa situação tem sido a causa da existência de algumas questões jurídico-doutrinais (controvertidas e duvidosas) e, por consequência, de alguns problemas jurídico-contratuais (frequentes e persistentes), sobretudo, em casos de locação e trespasse de estabelecimento comercial em Angola. Já que o quadro legal dos direitos em causa é antiquado, limitado e ineficaz à luz do actual contexto jurídico-civil e empresarial do país. Por isso, hodiernamente, tal quadro legal não regulamenta e nem resolve (adequadamente) essa problemática. Por exemplo, a dificuldade de se determinar o penhor e os embargos de terceiro como direitos relativos ao estabelecimento comercial em Angola. Desta forma, a presente pesquisa propõe algumas directrizes (teórico-práticas) que podem contribuir para melhor definição e abordagem dos direitos em causa (sobretudo, o penhor e os embargos de terceiro) no ordenamento jurídico angolano. Por essa razão, há necessidade de se actualizar o quadro legal dessa matéria fim de ele ser ajustado ao actual contexto jurídico-civil e empresarial do país e, por conseguinte, resolver-se-ia ou mitigar-se-ia a problemática desta pesquisa.

La Guerra de Malvinas. La narrativa entre la historia y la memoria
Authors: Molina Carolina Gabriela
Published: February 2024

La guerra de Malvinas de 1982 permanece en la memoria colectiva de la sociedad argentina. Para Hartog (2011) memorias colectivas y testimonios personales constituyen parte de la materia prima del análisis histórico, pero no puede ser sólo memoria, ya que las formas de pensar y comprender el pasado están atadas indefectiblemente a diversas coyunturas. Este trabajo se propone describir aspectos del conocimiento histórico vinculados a la relación múltiple y compleja entre historia y memoria desde la producción narrativa de la guerra de Malvinas, reconociendo la polifonía de voces que sedimentaron las diversas visiones. En esas elaboraciones, se plasmó el concepto de cultura histórica noción que se encuentra mediada por la conciencia histórica, esa conciencia que el presente tiene del pasado deslizándose entre el espacio de la experiencia y el horizonte de la expectativa exponiendo a los agentes sociales que la crean, los medios por los que se difunden y las representaciones que se divulgan. Se infiere del presente trabajo que la narrativa ha sido mediadora entre la historia y la memoria, entre la corriente historiográfica que exponía la historia de quienes detentaban el poder, y la memoria de los olvidados, los dominados.

Processamento Preditivo: uma introdução à proposta de unificação da cognição humana
Authors: Iennaco Maria Luiza , Maia Thales , Sayeg Paulo
Published: February 2024

O presente artigo objetiva fornecer uma apresentação crítica, compreensiva e inédita na língua portuguesa do Processamento Preditivo (PP) – um esquema teórico para a compreensão da cognição que propõe uma inversão de nosso entendimento padrão da ação, percepção, sensação e sua relação. Aqui, nosso objetivo primário será introduzir os principais conceitos e ideias do PP, tratando-o como um modelo moderadamente corporificado de cognição e analisando suas credenciais como uma proposta teórica unificadora. Para tanto, partiremos de uma contextualização histórica de algumas correntes de pensamento que teriam fomentado seu desenvolvimento inicial, passando por uma descrição não matemática do Princípio da Energia Livre, que fundamenta e subentende a atuação de suas especificidades para, então, esclarecermos o papel que, segundo o PP, a inferência bayesiana, a minimização dos erros de predição e a chamada Inferência Ativa possuiriam na manutenção homeostática de nossos cérebros e corpos preditivos. Por fim, forneceremos uma síntese de algumas consequências daquilo que o PP poderia trazer à compreensão contemporânea do cérebro e comportamento humanos, concluindo que, embora sua descrição da cognição como um processo preditivo único e contínuo prometa eventualmente unificar paradigmas explicativos e níveis de análise distintos, por ora, talvez seja melhor concebê-lo de forma mais modesta, como uma ferramenta ou heurística para nos auxiliar a repensar vários dos tópicos centrais ao estudo científico e filosófico da mente.

Published: February 2024

Environmental conditions greatly influence the quality of life of humans and other living creatures, so it is necessary to pay attention to strong and consistent environmental protection and management conditions by all stakeholders. Various principles are used in environmental protection and management. One of these principles is culture and local wisdom. Local wisdom is noble values ??that apply in community life to, among other things, protect and manage the environment sustainably. Protection and management of the environment must also pay attention to the noble values ??that apply in the community's life system. One of the government's efforts to improve the community's economy is through strengthening cooperatives and increasing the competency of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Therefore, cooperatives as the mainstay of the Indonesian economy should be encouraged to continue to modernize so that they can have a maximum positive impact on people's lives.

This study investigated the relationship between selected student motivation cultures and academic achievement in secondary schools in Nakuru County, Kenya. The study adopted the descriptive survey design. The target population was comprised of all KCSE 2021 candidates and all principals of secondary schools in the County. The study used an outlier approach and the multistage sampling technique. The sample size consisted of 2214 students and 80 principals of schools. Data was collected using questionnaires and document analysis. Instruments were adapted for use after carrying out a test re-test procedure. Cronbach Alpha Coefficient of above 0.7 was obtained. Validity was ensured with the assistance of the supervisors. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 27 and was analysed using descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages) and inferential statistics (Spearman rank correlations and Regression analysis). Quantitative results were presented in tables and qualitative results in prose. Private schools showed a stronger link between student motivation cultures and academic achievement than public schools. In high-achieving KCSE public and private secondary schools, the Spearman rank correlation analysis indicated a moderate positive correlation for public schools and a strong positive correlation for private schools between student motivation cultures and academic achievement. However, when assessing the relationship between student motivation cultures and student academic achievement in low-performing KCSE public and private secondary schools, the results differ. The study recommends that the school management should consider investing in student motivation cultures that enhance student academic achievement.

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Databases of 3D paleoclimate model simulations are increasingly used within global biogeochemical models for the Phanerozoic Eon. This improves the accuracy of the surface processes within the biogeochemical models, but the approach is limited by the availability of large numbers of paleoclimate simulations at different pCO2 levels and for different continental configurations. In this paper we apply the Frame Interpolation for Large Motion (FILM) Deep Learning method to a set of paleoclimate model simulations to upscale their time resolution from one model run every ~25 million years to one model run every 1 million year (Myr). Testing the method on a 5 Myr time-resolution set of continental configurations confirms the accuracy of our approach when reconstructing intermediate frames from configurations separated by up to 40 Myrs. We then apply the method to upscale the paleoclimate datastructure in the SCION climate-biogeochemical model and demonstrate that upscaled outputs for global distributions of surface temperature and runoff follow a logical progression between the original keyframes. When updated to use the high-time-resolution climate datastructure, the SCION model predicts climate shifts that were not present in the original model outputs due to its previous use of wide-spaced datasets and simple linear interpolation. We conclude that a time resolution of ~10 Myr in paleoclimate simulations is likely sufficient for investigating the long-term carbon cycle, and that Deep Learning methods may be critical in attaining this time-resolution at a reasonable computational expense, as well as for developing new fully-continuous methods in which 3D continental processes—such as species distribution—are able to translate over a moving continental surface in deep time. Nonetheless, the efficacy of Deep Learning methods in interpolating runoff data, compared to that of paleogeography and temperature, is diminished by the heterogeneous distribution of runoff. Consequently, interpolated climates should be confirmed by running a paleoclimate model for any sound scientific conclusions.

Abstract. As global warming progresses, changes in high-latitude precipitation are expected to impart long-lasting impacts on earth systems, including glacier mass balance and ecosystem structure. Reconstructing past changes in high-latitude precipitation and hydroclimate from networks of continuous lake records offers one way to improve forecasts of precipitation and precipitation-evaporation balances, but these reconstructions are currently hindered by the incomplete understanding of controls on lake and soil water isotopes. Here, we study the distribution of modern water isotopes in Icelandic lakes, streams, and surface soils collected in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2019 and 2020 to understand the geographic, geomorphic, and environmental controls on their regional and interannual variability. We find that lake water isotopes in open-basin (through-flowing) lakes reflect local precipitation with biases toward the cold season, particularly in lakes with sub-annual residence times. Closed-basin lakes have water isotope and deuterium excess values consistent with evaporative enrichment. Interannual and seasonal variability of lake-water isotopes at repeatedly sampled sites are consistent with instrumental records of winter snowfall, summer relative humidity, and atmospheric circulation patterns, such as the North Atlantic Oscillation. In contrast to the cold-season bias in Icelandic lakes, summer surface soil water isotopes reflect summer precipitation overprinted by evaporative enrichment that can occur throughout the year, although the soils sampled were shallower than rooting depths for many plant types. This dataset provides new insight into the functionality of water isotopes in Icelandic environments and offers renewed possibilities for optimized site selection and proxy interpretation in future paleohydrological studies on this North Atlantic outpost.
Modelling hazards impacting the flow regime in the Hranice Karst due to the proposed Skalička Dam
Authors: Spano Miroslav , Riha Jaromir
Published: February 2024

Abstract. This study examines hydrogeological risks associated with the construction of the proposed Skalička Dam in the vicinity of the Hranice Karst. Prompted by the catastrophic floods in 1997, the design of the dam aims to mitigate floods along the Bečva River downstream of the reservoir. However, concerns have been raised regarding the potential disturbance of the natural groundwater regime in the Hranice Karst and the source of mineral waters for the Teplice spa. This is particularly due to the dam's location in an area with limestone outcrops potentially susceptible to surface water infiltration. Previous studies have also highlighted the strong correlation between the water level in the Bečva River and the water level in karst formations such as the Hranice Abyss, Zbrašov Aragonite Caves, and other caves in the locality. To address these concerns, a nonlinear reservoir-pipe groundwater flow model was employed to simulate the behaviour of the Hranice Karst aquifer, and specifically the effects of the dam reservoir's impoundment. The study concluded that the lateral variant of the dam would have a practically negligible impact on the karst water system, with the rise in water level being only a few centimetres. The through-flow variant was found to have a more significant potential impact on water levels and the outflow of mineral water in the spa, with a piezometric rise of about 1 m and an increase in the karst water discharge to the Bečva River of more than 50 %. Based on these results, recommendations for further investigations concerning the design of the dam and its eventual construction were formulated to reduce geological uncertainties and minimise the potential impact of the hydraulic scheme on the hydrogeology of the karstic system.
Three essays on health economics in china
Authors:   , Dong Yue (Ashley)
Published: February 2024

The thesis consist of three essays on health economics in China. The first essay examines the impact of decentralisation on the allocation of health resources at the county level in China, using a quasi-experiment of its province-managing-county reform. The latter two essays focus more on individual and household health-related behaviours. The second essay explores the relationship between dietary diversity and the nutritional status of children aged 3-17 years in China. The third essay explores how people perceive and respond to health risks using the 2008 Chinese milk scandal as a natural experiment.
Programas de formación emocional inicial y permanente para docentes de Educación Infantil y Primaria: una revisión sistemática
Authors: Martínez-Saura Helena Fuensanta , Calderón Antonio , Sánchez López María Cristina
Published: February 2024

Actualmente, se percibe un incremento de publicaciones sobre programas de formación socioemocional, justificado en que implican una mejora en el bienestar docente y la creación de entornos de aprendizaje de mayor calidad. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron, por un lado, estudiar las características y eficacia de los programas de entrenamiento socioemocional implementados para la formación inicial y permanente del profesorado de Infantil y Primaria; y por otro, evaluar la calidad metodológica de los estudios inclusos en la revisión. La revisión sistemática informó sobre 20 estudios publicados entre 2010 y 2021, partiendo de una búsqueda inicial de 721 registros en Scopus y Web of Science. Consecuentemente, la representación en la literatura científica de los programas formativos emocionales en el ámbito docente es todavía reducida. Además, existe una gran variedad terminológica de las variables de los programas y vacíos de calidad metodológica que dificulta la difusión y generalización de resultados. Se pone de manifiesto la necesidad de implementar un modelo de programa de formación socioemocional para docentes en ejercicio y formación que incluya la gestión del estrés, el bienestar laboral y la regulación emocional como variables necesarias, así como la evaluación de los programas con variedad de instrumentos.

INTRODUCCIÓN. A pesar de que la Ley Orgánica 3/2020, de educación, reconoce la educación emocional de manera explícita como materia obligatoria en toda la educación obligatoria, solo el 5% de los colegios incluyen en la actualidad, la Educación emocional en su proyecto educativo (IDIENA, 2021). MÉTODO. El objetivo de esta investigación consistió en evaluar el impacto de una intervención en educación emocional en la competencia emocional del alumnado en tres cursos diferentes: 6º de Primaria, 2º y 4º de Secundaria. Participaron 142 alumnos, 66 pertenecientes al grupo experimental y 77 al grupo control. Se utilizó un diseño cuasi-experimental, pretest-postest, con grupo control, desde una metodología mixta. Se utilizaron los siguientes instrumentos: los cuestionarios de desarrollo emocional, CDE (9-13) y CDE-SEC; y un cuaderno del alumnado. RESULTADOS. El alumnado participante experimentó mejoras significativas en la competencia emocional total, así como en la conciencia emocional, autonomía emocional y la competencia social. Entre los tres programas aplicados, el desarrollado en 2º de Secundaria fue el más eficaz en el desarrollo de estas competencias. No se evidenciaron diferencias significativas en los efectos del programa según el sexo de los participantes. DISCUSION. Esta investigación aporta evidencias de los beneficios de la educación emocional en el desarrollo de las competencias emocionales, en tres momentos clave de la vida escolar del alumnado.
