Authors: Dzudzor Bartholomew , Amenyedor Albert , Amarh Vincent , Armah George E.
Published: November 2021

Diarrhea is a notable global health problem in several developing countries, especially in children. Prior to the introduction of the rotavirus vaccination program in Ghana, a surveillance study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of the disease caused by rotavirus in children. In this report, we re-used archival stool samples from the pre-vaccine surveillance study to provide information on prevalence of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in Ghanaian children. Re-analysis of the stool samples revealed co-infection of enterotoxigenic E. coli and rotavirus in 2% of the children whose samples were selected for this study. As Ghana is approaching 10 years post-implementation of the rotavirus vaccination program, the preliminary data presented in this report are a vital reference for subsequent studies aimed at ascertaining the effect of the vaccine on both rotavirus and enterotoxigenic E. coli.

Published: November 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has heavily hit international economy giving a particular setback to the tourism sector. Between March and May 2020, during the first lockdown, and between October and December of the same year, during the second lockdown, a questionnaire was administrated in Italy, Greece and Great Britain. Through the questionnaire, people’s feelings and expectations of their desire to take a vacation were collected regarding the period of constraint due to the new coronavirus and the possible end of the pandemic, or the first government approved travel openings. In particular, the question of how long it would take to decide on a holiday, the type and duration, after the period of constriction due to the coronavirus was over, was asked. Both surveys, in the two different lockdown periods, showed the potential desire of tourists to leave relatively quickly, and to take forms of domestic tourism, characterized by small and short-lived trips. The favorite destination being the seaside.

The Effect of Pyrolysis Temperature on Copyrolysis of Lignite and Pistachio Seed in a Fixed-bed Reactor
Authors: Onay Özlem
Published: November 2021

Co-pyrolysis of lignite and pistachio seed (CPLPS) under nitrogen gas was performed in a Heinze retort. The effect of pyrolysis temperature on product distribution of CPLPS investigated under heating rate of 10°Cmin-1 and blending ratio of 50(wt)%. Biomass is higher yield to be pyrolyzed than lignite and addition of biomass promotes the pyrolysis of lignite. In the range of the experimental conditions investigated the yield of the product is proportional to pyrolysis temperature. On the other hand, considerable synergetic effects were observed during the co-pyrolysis in a fixed bed reactor leading to increase in oil yield. Maximum pyrolysis oil yield of 27.2% was obtained at pyrolysis temperature of 550°C. The obtained oils are characterized by GC, and elemental analysis.

Published: November 2021

Las encuestas de victimización constituyen una fuente de información relevante para la investigación criminológica. En Cataluña hay una larga tradición en este tipo de encuestas y la Encuesta de Victimización del Área Metropolitana de Barcelona (EVAMB) es especialmente útil para el análisis de la seguridad desde una perspectiva urbana y metropolitana. En lo que se refiere a la cuantificación de la actividad delictiva y de la victimización producida por la delincuencia convencional, esta encuesta es pionera en geolocalizar el lugar de residencia de las víctimas y el lugar donde ocurren las victimizaciones. El artículo expone la trayectoria de las encuestas de victimización en Cataluña, centrándose en la EVAMB y describiendo sus principales características. A su vez, con la idea de mostrar su potencialidad, se presenta un ejemplo de análisis que tiene por objetivo determinar la relación entre la distribución espacial de la delincuencia y los patrones de movilidad de las víctimas en el área metropolitana de Barcelona. Los resultados señalan la importancia de tener en cuenta la movilidad de las víctimas para comprender mejor el riesgo de victimización en los distintos territorios. Este trabajo contribuye a comprender como las encuestas de victimización son una buena fuente datos tanto para el análisis territorial del delito y la victimización como para informar a las políticas públicas de seguridad y prevención.

Sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has been emerged as threat to employee performance and so for the media employees. It has shown quite challenging effect on aworker's in-role and extra-role performance. Theprimary objectiveto write this paper is to determine the correlation between media workers perceptions of organizational performance and its success. Impact of organizational justice as a moderator is addressed. We selected a convenience sample of 222 media professionals. Responses were gathered using closed-ended questionnaires. The solutions were evaluated using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. The result indicates that the Perceived organizational support has a meaningful role on media workers morale during COVID-19 times. Likewise, corporate fairness plays a key role in establishing a link among perceived organizational support and employee performance. Corporatesthat wanted their employees to succeed must ensure that organizational assistance and fairness are maintained in all organizational operations. Corporation backing and perceived support help to build employee trust and encourage them to work hard. Organizational support in the workplace has a greater effect on achievement. The study examined the non-linear relationship between employee and job performance among media professionals within the context of COVID-19. Corporate expect an increasing reliance on corporate resources to overcome difficulties during these times.
MEMBRANE FINITE ELEMENT FOR MODELING HEART WALL
Authors:   Houston Methodist Research Institute, The Department of Nanomedicine, Kojić Miloš
Published: November 2021

Modeling of heart wall deformation remains a challenge due to complex structure of tissue, which contains different group of cells and connective tissue. Muscle cells are dominant where, besides stresses coming from tissue deformation, active stresses are generated representing the load which produces heart motion and function. These cells form a helicoidal structure within so- called wall sheets and are considered as tissue fibers. Usual approach in the finite element (FE) discretization is to use 3D isoparametric elements. The dominant stresses lie in the sheet planes, while normal stresses in the wall normal directions are of the order smaller. Taking this stress state into account, we explore a possibility to model heart wall by membrane finite elements, hence considering the wall as a thick membrane (shell without bending effects). The membrane element is composite, containing layers over the thickness and variation of the direction of fibers. The formulated element is applied to a simplified left ventricle geometry to demonstrate a possibility to simulate heart mechanics by models which are much smaller and simpler for use than 3D conventional models.

Orange wastage through postharvest losses has contributed to food scarcity, economic loss and massive importation of food items in Nigeria. The research was mainly carried out to investigate the determinants of orange postharvest losses among orange farmers in Konshisha Local Government of Benue State, North Central geopolitical zone of Nigeria. Primary data was collected from the orange farmers using structured questionnaires and key informant interviews. Descriptive statistics and Ordinal Regression model were used to analyse the data collected. The quantity lost was perceived at six (6) categories. The results revealed that most (63.7%) of the farmers were above 34 years of age. Also the majority (95.1%) were male, while 55.3% of the respondents’ farm size was relatively large with 200 and above stands of orange. The farmers’ literacy level was 73.6%. Those that belonged to farmers groups were 39.5. Further results established the use of probit link function in the ordinal regression modelling and that the significant factors affecting orange postharvest losses in the area are farmer’s lack of education and farmers not belonging to any association or group. The only significant covariate with the postharvest loss quantity of orange is farm size. The test of parallel lines established that, the location parameters (slope coefficients) are the same across response categories.

Ergonomics or Human Factors are natural laws of human activities that involve physicals and mental (spirituality). As an applied science, ergonomics is multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary with other sciences. Therefore, to solve human problems, ergonomics uses other science. Such as strategic management, which in the business benefits the economy and the environment sustainably. However, environmental damage by human activity causes the Coronavirus out of its origins and establishes humans as their new host. When COVID-19 spread globally and caused many casualties, the pandemic occurred. After more than one year, it seems humans have not yet learned from the pandemic. Whereas, the public behaviour and selfishly against pandemic caused blundering solutions of the government and experts. Even applying synthetic herd immunity needs years. Observing these situations and conditions required an ergonomic holistic approach. The goal of a holistic strategy is to solve the problem from various aspects. It leads to the public-awareness response of critical conditions and situations. Therefore, self-leadership must be intensified to safety the self, family, and society by raising the body’s immunity. Besides mass vaccination, it would be nice if immunity was formed naturally by food and a healthy lifestyle, and practicing Yoga. For that reason, people should return to the old values and use natural resources for life.

Malaria was declared an emergency in Nigeria and strategies for the control of Malaria in Nigeria were adopted to reduce its prevalence to a level at which the disease will no longer constitute public health problems. In this work, we presented a deterministic (Ross–Macdonald model susceptible, expose/ infected, infectious and recovered) model incorporating the method of control adopted by national Malaria and leprosy control program. We established the disease free and the endemic equilibrium states and carried out the stability analysis of the disease. Free and the equilibrium state. We also carried out numerical simulation of the model to have an insight into the dynamics of the model. We found out that the disease free equilibrium state is stable. The feedback dynamics from mosquito to human and back to mosquito involve considerable time due to the incubation periods of the parasites. In this paper, taking explicit account of the incubation periods of parasites within the human and the mosquito, we first propose a Ross–Macdonald model. The Jacobiant results showed that it would be very difficult to completely eradicate Malaria from Nigeria using the method adopted by national Malaria and leprosy control program.

CULTURAL REFERENCES OF TURKISH MIND AND TURKISH SUFISM: YESEVISM

Published: November 2021

Mystical thought is a critical thought developed against official thought and official scientific understanding. This can be observed and discussed separately in both individual and collective layers of mystical life with its religious epistemological in one way and historical, social, political, and economic aspects in the other. Specific to this study after the death of the Prophet, the religious sciences that emerged during the tadwīn period built on the Arabic language-centered sensualism, and in this regard, it was structured with the Arab form. None of the above-mentioned built sciences satisfy mystical worldviews. Is this attitude of them a “completion process” or a critical intellectual process? We consider the critical intellectual process as a “critical intellectual and vital” step that includes “completion”. The above dilemma continued in Turkish thought even after joining the Islamic civilization. However, we think that a more comprehensive "Turkish mind", including the Islamic civilization along with its previous cultural resources, is maintained in the wise tradition. In this context, we think that the most fundamental and last form that forms the Turkish mind through Gokturk Script, Kashgari's Dīwān and Yesevism is the Turkish language.

Published: November 2021

Heat treatment is one of the most used methods to preserve food, such as orange juices, which are an excellent source of ascorbic acid. To avoid vitamin C degradation and reduce loss, fast heating is recommended. This work aimed to determine the vitamin C content using the iodometric method and the convective heat transfer coefficient using the method of dimensionless numbers and the experimental method. Time and temperature were controlled throughout the experiment. In pasteurization, the solution was heated to 80 °C, heating lasted 50 minutes and cooling for 42 minutes. The convective heat transfer coefficient was evaluated in two regions of the cylindrical container: near the wall and in the central region. The graphic profile of the curve follows the same trend of the literature. The convective heat transfer coefficient is higher in the region near the wall. As time passes and temperature decreases, the central region tends to equilibrium, and the coefficient becomes more constant. The vitamin C content remained constant before and after pasteurization, so it was observed that the pasteurization did not cause ascorbic acid degradation since the heating step was fast in the heat treatment. As a result of the study, it was noted that studying the thermal behavior in the cooling of orange juice is extremely important to ensure its quality. It is pertinent to mention that in order to avoid this degradation and reduce its loss, it is necessary that in thermal treatments, fast heating is carried out and that the juice has low exposure to air and heat at the time of its preparation.

Lo scopo di un volume-catalogo di una mostra fotografica, ed in particolare di questa che ha la pretesa di rappresentare un tema, quello della pandemia da coronavirus - che ha già prodotto miliardi di foto in tutto il mondo - è di “estrarre” momenti puntiformi di realtà - appunto centesimi di secondo - dal flusso ininterrotto e ridondante di immagini al quale siamo ormai assuefatti e che spesso guardiamo superficialmente, senza neppure soffermarci per un attimo a riflettere, semplicemente perché non ne abbiamo il tempo e non abbiamo informazioni per guardare “al di là” di quanto si vuole che noi si veda. Questa pretesa deriva da una posizione doppiamente privilegiata degli Autori delle opere raccolte nel volume: Medici impegnati in prima linea contro la malattia, e quindi portatori dei valori professionali, etici ed umani dell’essere Medico, e Artisti della Fotografia dotati di un bagaglio di sensibilità all’immagine che li porta ad “interpretare” la realtà piuttosto che a registrarla in maniera pedissequa e piatta. E soprattutto si presentano immagini aliene dalle logiche di standardizzazione dei media, che sono capaci di andare oltre il muro ed illuminare un sentiero nel silenzio che vi è “al di là”. Il volume è impreziosito da un gustoso, breve racconto della prof.ssa Lidia Pizzo, socia AMFI, critica d’arte e scrittrice.

MÉTODO MIXTO DE INVESTIGACIÓN: PERTINENCIA Y DIFICULTADES EN EL ESTUDIO PROGRAMAS DE REENGANCHE
Authors: Cutanda-López María Trinidad
Published: November 2021

Se aportan algunas consideraciones sobre la pertinencia del Método Mixto de Investigación (MMI) para el análisis de programas de re-enganche. En particular, las Aulas Ocupacionales en la Región de Murcia (España). A raíz de la revisión bibliográfica, legislativa y metodológica realizada en el contexto de una Tesis Doctoral, se parte de posicionamientos críticos teórico-políticos sobre el empleo predominante de estudios cuantitativos para estudiar problemáticas como fracaso, abandono o desenganche escolar, que pueden proporcionar repuestas simplistas limitando la concreción de metas y responsabilidades. Se sugiere el empleo de enfoques más profundos y flexibles (cualitativos) que, junto a las cifras, permitan dar voz y conocer las vivencias de sus implicados. Los resultados, de una parte, justifican el MMI como una tercera vía de indagación (junto al enfoque cuantitativo y cualitativo) en la investigación social y educativa; aporta, desde una mirada más flexible, funcional, conciliadora y enriquecida, nuevas formas de aproximación y solución. De otro, evidencian diversas dificultades: necesidad de justificar y explicitar su adecuación para mitigar susceptibles cuestionamientos; mayor tiempo y recursos; entrenamiento, conocimientos y habilidades en métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos; diferentes ritmos y tiempos de indagación. Las conclusiones subrayan la importancia y pertinencia del MMI en el estudio de realidades y problemáticas educativas de gran complejidad como las analizadas en el marco del Aula Ocupacional, permitiendo indagar en sus múltiples planos y condicionantes de forma interconectada, en consonancia con los posicionamientos teóricos de partida (enfoque ecológico del riesgo escolar y enfoque multidimensional de School Engagement).

Abstract. This study presents a fine scale simulation approach to assess the representativity of ammonia (NH3) measurements in proximity of an emission source. Close proximity to emission sources (< 5 km) can introduce a bias in regionally representative measurements of the NH3 molar fraction and flux. Measurement sites should therefore be located a significant distance from emission sources, but such requirements are poorly defined and can be difficult to meet in densely agricultural regions. This study presents a consistent criterium to assess the regional representativity of NH3 measurements in proximity of an emission source, calculating variables that quantify the NH3 plume dispersion using a series of numerical experiments at a fine resolution (20 m). Our fine scale simulation framework with explicitly resolved turbulence enables us to distinguish between the background NH3 and the emission plume, including realistic representations of NH3 deposition and chemical gas-aerosol transformations. We introduce the concept of blending-distance, based on the calculation of turbulent fluctuations, to systematically analyze the impact of the emission plume on simulated measurements, relative to this background NH3. This sensitivity analysis includes systematic experiments varying meteorological factors, emission/deposition and NH3 dependences. Considering these sensitivities, we find that NH3 measurements should be located at a minimum distance of 0.5–2.5 km and 1–3.5 km from an emission source, for NH3 molar fraction and flux measurements respectively. The simulation framework presented here can easily be adapted to local conditions and paves the way for future ammonia research at high spatio-temporal resolution.

Published: November 2021

Abstract. Forest fires in British Columbia in August 2017 caused a
pyrocumulonimbus event that injected a polluted air mass into the
lower stratosphere. The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on the Aura
satellite first observed the polluted air mass on 14 August 2017 and
continued to observe it for 60 d (100 d in water vapour). We
estimate the mass of CO injected into the stratosphere to be
2400 Gg. Events in which a fire injects its burning products
directly into the stratosphere are rare: this is the third of four
such events in the 16 years since the launch of Aura, the
second largest of the four events, and the only one in the Northern
Hemisphere. The other three events occurred in Australia in December
2006, February 2009 and from December 2019 to January 2020. Unlike
the 2006 and 2009 events, but like the 2019–2020 event, the polluted
air mass described here had a clearly elevated water vapour content:
between 2.5 and 5 times greater than that in the surrounding
atmosphere. We describe the evolution of the polluted air mass,
showing that it rose to an altitude of about 24 km (31 hPa) and
divided into several identifiable parts. In addition to CO and
H2O, we observe enhanced amounts of HCN, CH3CN, CH3Cl and
CH3OH with mixing ratios in the range to be expected from a
variety of measurements in other biomass burning plumes. We use
back trajectories and plume-dispersion modelling to demonstrate that
the pollutants observed by MLS originated in the British Columbia
fires, the likeliest source being at 53.2∘ N, 121.8∘ W
at 05:20 UTC on 13 August 2017.
Compilation of Last Interglacial (Marine Isotope Stage 5e) sea level indicators in the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and the east coast of Florida, USA

Abstract. This paper provides a summary of published sea level archives representing the past position of sea level during the Last Interglacial sea level highstand in the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and the eastern (Atlantic) coast of Florida, USA. These data were assembled as part of a community effort to build the World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines (WALIS) database. Shallow marine deposits from this sea level highstand are widespread across the region and are dominated by carbonate sedimentary features. In addition to depositional (constructional) sedimentary indicators of past sea level position, there is also evidence of erosion, dissolution, and/or subaerial exposure in places that can place an upper limit on the position of sea level. The sea level indicators that have been observed within this region and attributed to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e include corals, oolites, and other coastal sedimentary features. Here we compile a total of 50 relative sea level indicators including 36 in the Bahamas, three in West Caicos, and a remaining 10 for the eastern seaboard of Florida. We have also compiled U-Th age data for 24 fossil corals and 56 oolite samples. While some of these archives have been dated using U-Th disequilibrium methods, amino acid racemization, or optically stimulated luminescence, other features have more uncertain ages that have been deduced in the context of regional mapping and stratigraphy. Sedimentary archives in this region that constrain the elevation of the past position of sea level are associated with uncertainties that range from a couple decimeters to several meters. Across the Bahamas and on West Caicos, one of the observations that emerges from this compilation is that estimation of sea level position in this region during Marine Isotope Stage 5e is complicated by widespread stratigraphic evidence for at least one sea level oscillation. This evidence is defined by submarine features separated by erosion and subaerial exposure, meaning that there were likely multiple distinct peaks in sea level rather than just one. To this end, the timing of these individual sea level indicators becomes important when compiling and comparing data across the region given that different archives may have formed during different sub-orbital peaks in sea level.

Published: November 2021

Abstract. The late-Pleistocene history of the coastal Cordilleran Ice Sheet (CIS) remains relatively unstudied compared to chronologies of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Yet accurate reconstructions of CIS extent and timing of ice retreat along the Pacific Coast are essential for a variety of reasons including paleoclimate modeling, assessing meltwater contribution to the North Pacific, and determining the availability of ice-free land along the coastal CIS margin for human migration from Beringia into the Americas. To improve the chronology of CIS history in the Alexander Archipelago, Alaska, we applied 10Be and 36Cl dating to boulders and glacially sculpted bedrock outcrops in areas previously hypothesized to have remained ice-free throughout the local Last Glacial Maximum (lLGM; 20–17 ka). Results indicate that these sites, and more generally the coastal northern Alexander Archipelago, became ice-free by 15.1 ± 0.9 ka (n = 12 boulders; 1 SD). We also provide further age constraints on deglaciation along the southern Alexander Archipelago and combine our new ages with data from two previous studies. We determine that ice retreated from the outer coast of the southern Alexander Archipelago at 16.3 ± 0.8 ka (n = 14 boulders; 1 SD). These results collectively indicate that areas above modern sea level that were previously mapped as glacial refugia were covered by ice during the lLGM until between ~16.3 and 15.1 ka. As no evidence was found for ice-free land during the lLGM, our results suggest that previous ice-sheet reconstructions underestimate the regional maximum CIS extent, and that all ice likely terminated on the continental shelf. Future work should investigate whether presently submerged areas of the continental shelf were ice-free.
