Malaria is a serious and potentially fatal parasitic infectious disease caused by several species of parasite belonging to the Plasmodium genus. The female Anopheles injects the parasite into humans in the form of a "sporozoite". This rapidly migrates via the bloodstream to the liver. Transmission can occur through mother-to-child transmission and transfusion of infected blood products. Objective: To study the prevalence of malaria among newborn babies in the paediatric ward of the CSRéf in Markala. Methodology: Cross-sectional, retrospective, descriptive study from 1st January to 30th December 2023. Results: The mean age at admission was 03 to 07 days and 08 to 14 days of life. The sex ratio was in favour of males (51%). The overall result for the prevalence of malaria according to the means of biological diagnosisused was 0.62% for the RDT compared with 56.52% for the GE. The weight range where the RDT was positive was weights over 3.5kg. The results for congenital malaria were 0% for RDT and 60% for GE. The sex-ratio was in favour of males (51%). The age range at admission was 3 to14 days. The highest number of cases was observed in the month of May. The overall prevalence of congenital malaria including the total number of babies with cord blood parasitaemia and peripheral blood parasitaemia was 18.6% and 56.8% respectively using microscopy and real-time PCR. The frequency of cases of submicroscopic congenital malaria (negative on thick blood smear and positive on PCR) was 12.2%). Theaverageadmissionweightofnewbornswas2.9kg+/-0.9andtheaveragebirthweightwas2,319g(160.03)and 83 (81.4%). Conclusion: Congenital and neonatal malaria is a public health problem in a malaria-endemic country such as Mali.

Authors: Oreko Benjamin Ufuoma , Okiy Stanley
Published: January 2025

Applying natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites for automobile body parts has not gained much attention in Nigeria. Natural fibres appear to be a good alternative to non-biodegradable synthetic fibres. This work aimed to develop natural fibres obtained from plantain pseudo-stem for reinforcement with polyester composites for automobile bumper fascia application. The plantain fibres were manually extracted and treated using the mercerization process. Compressive and impact tests were carried out on the laminates which were prepared according to the ASTM D695 and ASTM D256 standards, respectively. The plantain fibre-reinforced composite automobile bumper was then constructed using the hand lay-up technique. Laminates with volume fractions 0.3 and 0.4 are produced and analysed for impact and compression tests. From the experimental results, it was observed that the Impact strength for a volume fraction 0.3 and 0.4 was 12.22 kJ/m2 and 13.83 kJ/m2, respectively and compressive strength for a volume fraction 0.3 and 0.4 was 65.3x103 kN/mm2 and 67.4x103 kN/mm2, respectively. The study shows that plantain fibre-reinforced polyester composites could be an alternate candidate for automotive bumper fascia.

Authors: Madhi Nadia , Abid Yesmine , Amor Wiem Ben , Dallel Ines , Tobji Samir , Amor Adel Ben
Published: January 2025

Anterior open bite is a complex malocclusion that often requires comprehensive treatment due to its multifactorial etiology and high relapse potential. Conventional treatment options such as orthognathic surgery or extraction therapy may have limitations. Recent advancements in skeletal anchorage have introduced miniscrews as a minimally invasive and reliable alternative. This case report illustrates an 18-year-old female with sagittal skeletal Class II pattern, hyperdivergent facial type and class I molar and end-on Class II canine relationship, with an anterior open bite. The treatment plan consisted of using miniscrews placed bilaterally in the posterior maxilla to facilitate molar intrusion. A transpalatal arch was used to maintain transverse stability during the intrusion phase. The approach resulted in effective molar intrusion, closure of the open bite, and an improved facial profile.

Published: January 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the number of seeds per planting hole on the productivity and adaptability of sweet corn varieties. Using a nested research design, eight Indonesian commercial sweetcorn varieties were tested with variations in the number of seeds per planting hole. Results showed that plant height ranged from 144.86 cm to 191.66 cm, with the BN 44 variety having the highest height. However, seed number treatment did not significantly affect plant height, stem diameter, or leaf count. Meanwhile, the highest productivity is achieved by the Talenta and Bonanza 9 F1 varieties at the treatment of one seed per hole, as well as the Prima variety at the treatment of two seeds. These findings emphasize the importance of variety selection in the management of sweet corn cultivation and show that although seed numbers are insignificant, the right variety can improve crop yields. The implications of this research are important for the development of sustainable and efficient agricultural strategies and can contribute to food security through increased sweet corn productivity.

The impact of implementing an agroforestry system in oil palm plantations by integrating agarwood-producing plants (Aquilaria Malacensis Lamk.) with oil palm plants on the physical properties of the soil needs to be assessed. This study is crucial due to the shared land use by agarwood-producing and oil palm plants. The study aims to evaluate the effects of integrating agarwood-producing plants into oil palm plantations on soil physical properties, including soil texture, topsoil depth, and water retention capacity. The research was conducted from September 2024 to November 2024 in agroforestry land (1 ha) and monoculture land (1 ha) in Bukit Kemuning Village, Tapung Hulu Kampar - Riau. The study utilized survey methods and systematic sampling for soil sample collection. The findings indicated that the agroforestry system positively impacted soil physical properties, with improved soil texture (54.67% sandy clay), increased topsoil depth, and enhanced water retention capacity compared to oil palm monoculture land. This improvement can be attributed to the higher organic matter content resulting from the decomposition of agarwood plant litter. Therefore, the agroforestry system enhances soil fertility and promotes sustainable environmental management.

Published: January 2025

O ambiente empresarial cada vez mais competitivo e vem exigindo das empresas a busca de novas estratégias e ferramentas que valorizem seus aspectos intangíveis. Dentre essas ferramentas, o marketing esportivo vem se destacando como uma oportunidade de conquistas e manutenção de clientes. Sendo assim, este trabalho buscou identificar como as ações de patrocínio em eventos esportivos contribuem para a construção da marca e valoração de sua brand equity. A metodologia consistiu em um estudo de caso, tendo como objeto de análise o evento esportivo Corrida Rústica Cidade Carinho, que ocorre anualmente na cidade de Ubá-MG. Como método de coleta de dados utilizou-se a entrevista pessoal, que foi realizada com cinco gestores representantes das empresas patrocinadoras desse evento. Como síntese dos dados recolhidos, podemos concluir que apenas um patrocinador apresentou elementos estratégicos em suas respostas, os demais patrocinadores não encaram o patrocínio esportivo como uma ação planejada. A análise das respostas demonstrou que estes investimentos foram originados por diferentes questões que não dizem respeito à imagem da organização, o relacionamento com o público ou a comercialização.

Concrete as the basic material of the structure in the construction of buildings is composed of hardening a certain mixture of water, cement, and aggregate. Concrete material is familiar in the field of Civil Engineering, because almost every building uses concrete as the main structure and complement, be it bridges, water buildings, or buildings. Because concrete is a composite material, the quality of concrete depends on each of the forming materials (Tjokrodimuljo. K,1996). This study used fly ash and steel slag added materials. In this study using an experimental method that aims to determine the effect of adding fly ash and steel slag levels with a percentage of fly ash 10% and steel slag 20%, fly ash 20% and steel slag 10% from the use of cement and fine aggregates and using conventional concrete as a comparison , and the cement water factor is determined to be the same in all variations, which is 0.45. Until thel used is cylindrical (d = 15cm; h = 30cm), the quality of concrete is planned to be 20 MPa. The number of samples is 18 pieces, each variation consists of 6 pieces tol, 3 samples for concrete compressive strength aged 7 days and 3 samples for concrete compressive strength aged 28 days. In the slump test, there was a reduction in the slump value, which was 12 cm for conventional concrete, 11 cm for variation I concrete mixture and 8 cm for variation 2 concrete mixture. The results of the compressive strength test showed an increase in maximum compressive strength at the age of 7 & 28 days with a percentage of fly ash 20% and steel slag 10% which was 19.91 MPa & 29.82 MPa and the lowest compressive strength occurred in conventional concrete, which was 16.32 MPa at the age of 7 days and 25.19 Mpa at the age of 28 days. With a percentage increase of 15.5% from conventional concrete

The aim of the research is to determine the effectiveness of entrepreneurial training in equipping students in a diploma program in educational qualification with interactive educational video design skills using Camtasia Studio software. To achieve this goal, an experimental approach was employed, and three performance tests were constructed with a scoring rubric consisting of 62 items. The tools were applied to a sample of 24 male and female students specializing in primary school teaching in the diploma program at the College of Education, Damascus University. The sample participants were purposefully selected, and the research was conducted between 2023 and 2024. The research concluded that entrepreneurial training is effective in equipping students with interactive educational video design skills using Camtasia Studio software. It also found that the training is effective in enhancing students' learning retention. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the students in the pre-test and post-test of the three performance tests, in favor of the post-test. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the students in the post-test and delayed post-test of the three performance tests.
Based on the research results, a set of proposals was presented regarding the necessity of conducting training courses for teachers in order to equip them with skills in designing interactive educational videos, as well as other technical skills, and guiding them in utilizing them in the educational process. This is to keep up with modern developments.

Published: January 2025

Después de tres años de estudio en casa debido al confinamiento derivado del COVID-19, se regresó a las aulas. Al consultar a profesores del nivel medio sobre las dificultades de vuelta a clases presenciales, señalaron entre otras, un serio atraso en las competencias esperadas en los estudiantes. Como objetivo general se planteó comprender cómo la experiencia de vida y estudio durante el confinamiento se relacionan con las dificultades de vuelta a clases presenciales. Los objetivos específicos: (a) describir la experiencia de vida de los estudiantes durante el confinamiento; (b) describir la experiencia de estudio durante el confinamiento; (c) identificar las dificultades enfrentadas por los estudiantes en el regreso a clases presenciales y(d) explicar la percepción de los estudiantes sobre la relación entre su experiencia de vida y estudio durante el confinamiento y las dificultades en el regreso a clases presenciales. La investigación de naturaleza aplicada responde a un paradigma constructivista, enfoque cualitativo, diseño fenomenológico y análisis inductivo; con alcance descriptivo y explicativo. El muestreo fue intencionado y se trabajó con estudiantes de cuarto ciclo diversificado con entrevistas y microrrelatos de vida. El estudio es importante en tanto da voz a los estudiantes y rescata y produce narrativas para una comprensión más integral del problema, lo que permite abordarlo de mejor manera. Los resultados muestran una debilidad en la didáctica en la educación a distancia y sus estrategias de enseñanza y aprendizaje,además de situaciones intrínsecas y extrínsecas que afectaron la vida y estudio.
