Three Month Epidemiological Trend of COVID-19 in Nigeria Rapid Review; A discriptive Epidemiological study (Preprint)
Authors: Kennedy Obiajulu Kingsley Kennedy Ajiroghene
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

Since the confirmation of the index case of COVID-19 on the 27th of February in Nigeria, the spread from Lags to other part of the country has been on the climb without a plateau in sight.

OBJECTIVE

To characterise and present epidemiological trends of COVID-19 pandemic in the first three months of index confirmation in Nigeria.

METHODS

A descriptive epidemiological study involving review of the first three-month COVID-19 situation reports and updates in Nigeria using primary data was analysed by spatio-temporal analysis with categorical variables reported in percentages and numbers.

RESULTS

Retrospective analysis revealed 8344 confirmed cases in 35 of the 36 states (with the federal capital territory inclusive), 249 fatalities, 2385 discharged cases, 48544 laboratory testing, 5710 total active cases, mortality rate of 0.12 per 100,000 population, and a Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of 3. It further showed increased number of confirmed cases in densely populated states. Transmission via contact with infected persons accounted for 23% of confirmed case. Additionally, 17% (circa) of tested population were confirmed positive.

CONCLUSIONS

Causation and spread is attributed to travel and contact risk factors. Early epidemiological patterning occurred along population density and outdoor exposure lines. Aggressive and continuous testing would reveal more cases especially asymptomatic cohorts in the population.

Authors: Petrus Jeffrey , Babarinde Jacob A. , Karigawa Lepani
Published: July 2020

Following severe criticisms against perceived inefficiency and unfairness of land taxation system in Papua New Guinea, this paper appraises four mechanisms used for land tax assessment and tax collection in the country. The mechanisms investigated as part of a larger study are validity of previous valuation roll, determination of unimproved land value, professional acceptability of the valuation methods used, and whether planning approval had been secured for the improvements on land. The study is based on a questionnaire survey of 150 respondents, including state land leaseholders and officials of the Lands Department at Lae Municipality and the City’s Internal Revenue Commission. The hypothesis tested yields a Chi-Square Test value of 8.872 and a Probability Value (P Value) of 0.75 (75%), which is statistically significant at 0.01 level. These findings indicate that the Lae City Municipality has 75% chances of becoming sustainable in the foreseeable future, particularly if the recommendations made are thoughtfully implemented.

Authors: PhD Candidate Pius Ayekeh Tachang, , Associate Professor Dobdinga Cletus Fonchamnyo, , Professor Edokat Edward Oki Tafah,
Published: July 2020

This paper aimed to investigate the implication of government compliance with public procurement policy for the performance of enterprises operating in the construction sector in Cameroon. To achieve its objectives, the paper made use of a micro panel collected with the help of structured questionnaires. The Pooled OLS and the random versus fixed effects models were used for the analyses. Findings revealed that the contract winning rate of construction enterprises increases monotonically over the period under study. While the performance of construction enterprises stagnated over the period 2013-2016, it only witnessed a drop in 2017 and 2018. The pooled OLS and the Random effect regression results revealed that government compliance with payment duration of construction enterprises’ bills positively and significantly affects the performance of construction enterprises in Cameroon. Based on these findings, the study recommends that the government could consider redressing the policies on the regular and prompt payment of enterprises’ bills within the timeline specified in the contracts to enable them meet up with their financial requirements, thereby contributing to their overall performance.

El campo académico de la discapacidad: pujas por el nodo de sentido
Authors: Brogna Patricia
Published: July 2020

Entendemos el campo académico de la discapacidad como las posiciones que −dentro de espacios universitarios y de educación superior− pujan por imponer o resistir no sólo discursos y prácticas sino el sentido mismo del campo. Este espacio de relaciones entre posiciones contextuado y situado puede redefinirse como un subcampo que demanda el análisis y la interpretación de sus influencias, dinámicas y trayectorias; de sus hegemonías, colonizaciones y vacantes; de sus emergencias, rupturas y continuidades; de sus alianzas, afiliaciones, maternajes y hermandades; y, especialmente, de su devenir y funcionamiento en relación con el campo político o a otros subcampos como el espacio académico de la discapacidad en América Latina. En este artículo se presenta una interpretación histórica posible entre las muchas otras, sobre “cómo llegamos hasta aquí”, “qué es aquí” y −frente a ciencias sociales que escasamente han mirado hacia la discapacidad− preguntarnos si el sentido que va condensando sobre la discapacidad en la academia mexicana responde o al menos considera las problemáticas y prioridades de la población con discapacidad, politizando su nuda vida.

Authors: Garduño Ángeles Gustavo , Ramírez León Alejandra
Published: July 2020

Este artículo analiza con datos de corte transversal, si productores de café con tierras de cultivo en condiciones biofísicas heterogéneas y características socioeconómicas distintas, en el municipio de Santa María Yucuhiti, Oaxaca, tienen mayores posibilidades de acceder a crédito y a mejores prácticas de manejo productivo en un contexto de producción orgánica que les permita obtener precios más altos, incrementar su producción y reducir la presencia de enfermedades, al pertenecer a una organización afiliada a una organización consolidada. Los resultados indican que los productores pertenecientes a dichas organizaciones han incrementado sus posibilidades productivas, así como de sus ingresos. Sin embargo, también se encontró que existen diferentes condiciones socioeconómicas y biofísicas que bien pueden impedir que estas posibilidades se concreten.
Retos nodales del desarrollo económico en México durante el quinquenio 2020-2024
Authors: Calva José Luis
Published: July 2020

Este artículo analiza importantes retos del desarrollo: generar suficientes empleos remunerados para los jóvenes que cada año buscan por primera vez puestos de trabajo; absorber gradualmente el enorme rezago de empleos dignos; mejorar la distribución funcional del ingreso vía incremento sostenido de los salarios reales; erradicar la pobreza extrema y reducir la pobreza moderada. Para superarlos, el reto crucial es lograr que la economía mexicana crezca a tasas mayores de 6% anual. Esto no puede conseguirse con la estrategia neoliberal, que apenas arrojó 2.3% de crecimiento anual durante los pasados seis sexenios. Un crecimiento económico a tasas asiáticas es factible mediante una certera estrategia de desarrollo.

Aromatherapy candle is a safe, effective, and cost-effective repellent. It has a potential repellent effect particularly on mosquitoes. Lemongrass is a potential plant as a natural repellent for Aedes aegypti. The purpose of this study was to determine the repellency effect of lemongrass essential oils against Ae. aegypti. This study was an experimental study with a post-test only with control group design, which was divided into six groups (one negative control and five treatment groups 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, and 13%) with four repeats. Each group consisted of 20 Ae. aegypti female mosquitoes, so the total number of mosquitoes used was 480. Tested mosquitos were exposed to aromatherapy candles for one hour, and their repellency observed every 15-minute intervals. The average of repellency effect of the negative control and 5 treatment groups at minute 60 were 7.5%; 0%; 33.33%; 66.67%; 66.67%; and 100% respectively. We conclude that the aromatherapy candle of lemongrass essential oil was effective as a 100% repellency effect against Ae. aegypti at a concentration of 13%.

The Donggala District Government has made efforts to control Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), however based on the number of cases, and free larvae rates, DHF is still a public health threat in this area. The study aimed to evaluate the implementation of DHF control program in Donggala Regency. This was an evaluative descriptive qualitative research with a case study design. Research location in Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. Data was collected from September to October 2014 using a purposive sampling technique. Data validity carried out by source triangulation while data analysis was conducted by manually using content analysis. The informants were 10 persons from DHF control program staffs. Data was collected using in-depth interviews and document studies. The results showed that the budjet allocation on implementation of the DHF control program was lower than other infectious diseases. Cross-program collaboration has been carried out properly, however It is required more cross-sector collaboration for mosquito control program activities. From the output of program, the incidence rate (IR) of Donggala Regency was lower than IR of Central Sulawesi Province. Both Primary Health Care with low and high cases turn to have free larva index below 95% and those values tend to decrease in 2011-2012. Donggala District Health Office should increase the health promotion of DHF control through cross-sector collaboration and community to seek more awareness to the risks of transmission and improve dengue prevention.

Lymphatic filariasis disease impacts the patients both socially and economically. Health seeking behavior was related to the variation of local perceived.  This research is required to explore the wide variety of local perspectives as input into treatment program intervention strategies. The study was conducted in 12 districts in Indonesia, namely Pidie, North Aceh, Aceh Jaya, West Pasaman, South Pesisir, Subang, Tangerang, West Kota Waringin, North Hulu Sungai, Donggala, Bombana, and Asmat. Qualitative methods with the health belief model approach were used to assess the community’s knowledge about lymphatic filariasis disease and its treatments. This study used 24 informants consisting of 14 men and 10 women. Results showed there were 9 out of 12 regions that have a localized concept of lymphatic filariasis disease. Most informants believe that the disease occured as a result of the curse of the ancestor or the curse of visiting a certain place, or supernatural power. Most informants stated that seeking indigenous healers was carried out if the informant felt that self-treatment did not produce the result as expected. There was a tendency between knowledge and elimination efforts of lymphatic filariasis disease. Therefore, it is recommended to provide a better understanding of local knowledge about lymphatic filariasis

Dengue prevention and control still depend on insecticides usage. Household insecticides were the most preferable choice to prevent and control Aedes aegypti at settlements. The purpose of this study was to analyze the usage of household insecticides to prevent and control Ae. aegypti in settlement, especially in North Sumatra Province. The research was conducted during April-November 2015. The larvae examination and interviews were conducted on 900 respondents in three districts in North Sumatra Province (Tebing Tinggi, Pematang Siantar and Deli Serdang). The results of the study showed that the house index, container  index, breteau index and densty figure in three districts were revealed that the regions were at moderate and high risk of dengue transmission. Most people in three districts use household insecticide at night to prevent dengue transmission. In conclusion, the household insecticides usage by the community in North Sumatra Province is ineffective to Ae. aegypti prevent and control in settlements, because the community only use adulticide and the time of use of insecticide is not in accordance with the activities of Ae. aegypti to transmit DHF during the daytime without any larva control activity.

The use of ovitrap with attractants modification has been known as an alternative method in controlling DHF vectors. Attractant material will be better if it uses natural ingredients that are cheap and easy to obtain and easy to manufacture. Attractant material is recommended to use natural ingredients that are cheap and easy to obtain and are easy to make. Imperata plants can be easily obtained and easily processed as attractant material. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of attractants on a laboratory scale in the form of immersion water from the straw of the Imperata cylindrica plants in various concentration levels to Aedes aegypti eggs number. Research with an experimental design using a completely Randomized Design (CRD) was conducted at the Entomology Laboratory of the Tanah Bumbu Research and Development Center, in July 2019. Treatment concentrations consisted of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, control using akuades. Samples for testing using Ae. aegypti gravid mosquitoes. Treatment with 5 repetitions, carried out for 7 days. Data analyzed by normality test, Anova test, and Least Significant Differences (LSD) test. The average number of eggs at concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% respectively was 45.00; 78.60; 129.40; and 174.00. Anova test showed Imperata cylindrica straw soaking attractant had a significant effect on oviposition of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. LSD test results showed attractant 15% is the optimal concentration in increasing the number of eggs in the ovitrap.

Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVE

We investigated the relationship between fasting serum fructose levels and the risk of incident type 2 diabetes in a prospective Chinese cohort.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Among 949 community-based participants aged ≥40 years without diabetes at baseline, fasting serum fructose levels were measured using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. The participants were followed up for the occurrence of diabetes. Cox regression models were performed to analyze the effect of fasting serum fructose levels on risk of incident diabetes.

RESULTS

During a median of 3.5 years’ follow-up, 179 of 949 (18.9%) participants developed type 2 diabetes. Elevated fasting serum fructose levels were associated with an increased risk of incident diabetes in a dose-response manner. After adjustment for age, sex, BMI, lipid profiles, blood pressure, liver function, smoking and drinking status, baseline glucose level, and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, a 1-SD increased fasting fructose level was associated with a 35% (95% CI 1.08–1.67) increased risk of developing diabetes. After further adjustment for serum uric acid and estimated glomerular filtration rate, the association was partially attenuated (hazard ratio 1.33 [95% CI 1.07–1.65]). The association was similar by age, prediabetes status, BMI, and family history of diabetes but attenuated in women (P for heterogeneity = 0.037).

CONCLUSIONS

Elevated fasting serum fructose levels were independently associated with increased risk of incident type 2 diabetes in a middle-aged and older Chinese population. Our data suggest that higher fasting serum fructose levels might serve as a biomarker and/or a contributor to incident diabetes.
Randomized Double-Blind Clinical Trial Comparing Ultra Rapid Lispro With Lispro in a Basal-Bolus Regimen in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: PRONTO-T2D
Authors: Blevins Thomas , Zhang Qianyi , Frias Juan P. , Jinnouchi Hideaki , Chang Annette M.
Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultra rapid lispro (URLi) versus lispro in patients with type 2 diabetes on a basal-bolus insulin regimen.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This was a phase 3, treat-to-target, double-blind 26-week study. After an 8-week lead-in to optimize basal insulin glargine or degludec in combination with prandial lispro treatment, patients were randomized to blinded URLi (n = 336) or lispro (n = 337) injected 0–2 min prior to meals. Patients could continue metformin and/or a sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor. The primary end point was change in HbA1c from baseline to 26 weeks (noninferiority margin 0.4%), with multiplicity-adjusted objectives for postprandial glucose (PPG) excursions during a standardized meal test.

RESULTS

HbA1c improved for both URLi and lispro, and noninferiority was confirmed: estimated treatment difference (ETD) 0.06% (95% CI −0.05; 0.16). Mean change in HbA1c was −0.38% for URLi and −0.43% for lispro, with an end-of-treatment HbA1c of 6.92% and 6.86%, respectively. URLi was superior to lispro in controlling 1- and 2-h PPG excursions: 1-h ETD, −0.66 mmol/L (95% CI −1.01, −0.30); 2-h ETD, −0.96 mmol/L (−1.41, −0.52). Significantly lower PPG excursions were evident from 0.5 to 4.0 h postmeal with URLi treatment. There were no significant treatment differences in rates of severe or documented hypoglycemia (<3.0 mmol/L). Incidence of overall treatment-emergent adverse events was similar between treatments.

CONCLUSIONS

URLi compared with lispro in a basal-bolus regimen was confirmed to be noninferior for HbA1c and superior to lispro for PPG control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Authors: Samoa Raynald A. , Lee Hayley S. , Kil Sung H. , Roep Bart O.
Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVE

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) perturb T-cell regulatory pathways to enhance antitumor immunity. However, an increase reporting of ICI-associated diabetes is observed in adults. To our knowledge, no cases have been reported in the pediatric population.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We describe a pediatric case of ICI-associated type 1 diabetes in a 12-year-old Hispanic boy with Hodgkin lymphoma. The patient had a history of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and was treated with pembrolizumab after disease progression.

RESULTS

The patient was admitted for diabetic ketoacidosis after five cycles of pembrolizumab. The patient was discharged with daily insulin injections and has continued on exogenous insulin ever since.

CONCLUSIONS

The expanded ICI use may lead to more cases in pediatric patients as has been observed in adults. Considering the acute manifestation of diabetes and the added burden of lifelong insulin therapy, in particular for pediatric patients and their families, monitoring and education of ICI-associated diabetes in children is needed.
High-sensitivity cardiac Troponin-T and N-terminal pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in relation to cardiovascular outcomes in type 1 diabetes
Authors: Costacou Tina , Saenger Amy K. , Orchard Trevor J.
Published: July 2020

Objective: High-sensitivity cardiac
Troponin-T (hs-cTnT) and N-terminal pro B-Type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP),
biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure, respectively,
have not been widely studied in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We evaluated whether their assessment in T1D enhances the
prediction of CVD and major atherosclerotic cardiovascular events (MACE).

Research Design and Methods: hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP were analyzed on the Roche Cobas
E601 utilizing the first available stored specimen (n=581; mean age 29
and duration 21 years). CVD was defined
as CVD death, myocardial
infarction, coronary revascularization, angina, ischemia, or stroke and MACE as CVD death, myocardial
infarction, or stroke.

Results: Median hs-cTnT (5.0 ng/L, IQR: <3.0, 10.0) was higher among men
(p<0.0001), whereas median NT-proBNP (22.0 ng/L; 7.0, 61.0) did not differ by sex. In Cox models, log hs-cTnT (HR=1.38, p=0.0006) and log NT-proBNP (HR=1.24, p=0.0001) independently
predicted CVD during 21 years of follow-up.
However, their addition to models either singly or together did not
significantly improve CVD prediction.
Furthermore, a marginally significant sex interaction was
observed (p=0.06), indicating that hs-cTnT’s prediction was limited to men.
hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP also predicted MACE, although only NT-proBNP remained significant
(HR=1.27, p=0.0009) when the biomarkers were included in a model simultaneously. Nonetheless, their addition to multivariable models
did not enhance MACE prediction.

Conclusions: Sex differences were observed in the
concentration and predictive ability of hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP in T1D. Overall, their addition to traditional risk factor models increased
the area under the curve for neither CVD nor MACE.
Influence of laser wavelength on the modification of friction between 100Cr6 steel and polytetrafluoroethylene by femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures
Authors: Rung Stefan , Bokan Kevin , Schwarz Simon , Esen Cemal , Hellmann Ralf
Published: July 2020

The authors report on surface modification by laser-induced periodic surface structures of different periodicities and modulation depths to modify dry and lubricated tribological properties. Using 220 fs laser pulses in the infrared (λ1=1030nm), visible (λ2=515nm), and ultraviolet (λ3=343nm) spectral regions, the authors periodically structure two-dimensional areas with periodicities in the range between 300 and 950 nm and modulation depths between 30 and 180 nm, respectively. The coefficient of friction is measured by performing a linear reciprocating ball-on-disk test with polytetrafluoroethylene balls on such structured 100Cr6 bearing steel. This configuration reveals a modified friction behavior using load forces between 50 and 1000 mN and a translation speed of 4 mm/s. In general, the results show an increased coefficient of friction in the presence of the applied periodic structures. In particular, in the case of dry environmental conditions, laser-induced periodic surface structures with an increasing spatial period lead to an increase in the coefficient of friction. In addition, for a sliding direction perpendicular to the alignment of the periodic structures, a higher coefficient of friction is found in comparison to a parallel movement. While in the case of lubricated friction, an increased coefficient of friction is also found; yet, it reveals a less pronounced dependency of the sliding direction as compared to dry conditions. For lubricated linear reciprocating movements, the coefficient of friction decreases under increasing load forces, which results in a load depended friction reduction.

Published: July 2020

The use of traditional medicines is an alternative treatment which is considered safer in terms of side effects and toxicity. One of the herbal plants that have properties that can reduce blood pressure is bay leaf (Syzigium polyanthum) because it contains essential oils (citral, eugenol), tannin, and flavonoids. Ethanol extract of bay leaves (Syzigium polyanthum) with antihypertensive potential needs to be made into dosage forms. This study aimed to determine the optimal formula of the preparation of bay leaf (Syzigium polyanthum) nanoparticles tablet with variations in the concentration of Na alginate and Avicel PH 102. Salam leaf extract was made using maceration method using  ethanol 96%, followed by evaporation until thick extract was formed. Colloidal nanoparticles were prepared by mixing bay leaf extract into  technical ethanol 96% and aquadest, chitosan solution in acetic acid and NaTTP solution. Further, it was measured using PSA (Particle Size Analyzer) to determine the particle size. Tablets were prepared using 4 formulas with variations in the concentration of sodium alginate and avicel PH 102 using the direct pressing method. The results of this study indicate that variations in the concentration of Na alginate and Avicel PH 102 affect the physical properties of tablets. The addition of Avicel PH 102 can increase the hardness and disintegration time of the tablet. While the addition of Na alginate can increase the fragility of tablets. Based on the evaluation results, the optimum formulation of tablet formulas is formula 4.

Objective: Active ageing constitutes one of the guiding perspectives on policies, but the factors influencing ageing have not received considerable attention. The present study aimed to identify the factors affecting active ageing management in Iran.

Design: Drawing on quantitative data gathered through a questionnaire filled out by 287 participants and an interview with 20 experts.

Main outcome measures: The instrument was a questionnaire based on the five-point Likert scale. Questions with CVR>0.49 and with CVI>0.7 were accepted. To assess the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was (0.92) used. The adequacy of the sample size was estimated at 0.952, based on the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) index. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS Ver 22. An exploratory factor analysis was used to explore and evaluate the dimensions of the model through a mathematical approach. Also, confirmatory factor analysis was utilized to verify the model, using AMOS 24 software.

Results: Eight factors were identified as effective factors in active ageing management in Iran, which include: Organizational structure (0/83), services (0/80), control (0/74), financing (0/72), government grants (0/71), policy making (0/68), selected area to focus (0/65), members (0/63). Organizational structure and member components had the most and least significant effects.

Conclusions: Establishing a High Council with the presence of the President's representative, allocating a specific budget for the elderly, determining the responsibilities of the government and the related organizations, determining the responsibility and providing suitable services can lead to the effective management of active ageing.
