Published: September 2022

HIV belongs to the genus lentivirus within the family of retroviridae and subfamily orthoretrovirinae. In 2017, 1.8 million People were infected with AIDS, and 940,000 died due to this serious disease. HIV found in semen, blood, vaginal and anal fluids, breast milk. it is mainly passes on through unprotected sex, sharing needles or syringes and pregnancy during birth and also passed from one person to other person through this route. The HIV patient’s blood sample collected in vial, serological test and HIV Elisa test performed on Elisa plate Reader. The results shows that 35 (70.00%) out of 50 patients were HIV Elisa positive while 15 individuals were HIV Elisa negative. The maximum no of patients were observed in age 45 and 55, minimum no. of patients were found in both age 63 and 25. These positive tests suggests that the spread of the HIV is due to the unsafe sex or oral sex. Sex may be randomly with HIV affected patients or they do sex without the use of condom. Other main reasons that is responsible for the transmission of HIV includes common use of syringes either by the doctors or by the drug addicted patients that usually share common syringes.

Protein Kinase C-Dependent Phosphorylation of Human Pleckstrin Reduces its Capacity for Self-Association and Impairs its Ability to Bind Phosphoinositide
Authors: Junop Murray S
Published: September 2022

Pleckstrin is a major substrate of protein kinase C in lymphocytes, macrophages, monocytes, granulocytes and platelets. In these cells, pleckstrin is expressed at high levels and represents approximately 1 % of total cellular protein. Pleckstrin plays an important role in protein kinase C-dependent secretion, and abberant pleckstrin phosphorylation has been associated with disease. The mechanism, however, by which phosphorylation regulates pleckstrin function is unknown. Here, we show that native pleckstrin self-associates to form dimers that reduce its binding capacity to phosphoinositides. Phosphomimetic amino acid substitutions at residues normally phosphorylated by protein kinase C result in significantly reduced pleckstrin dimerization. Although phosphomimetic forms of pleckstrin exhibit subtle conformational changes they retain most of their phosphoinositide binding properties. These findings suggest that phosphorylation regulates pleckstrin interaction with membranes via a dimerization-dependent mechanism.
Deciphering Outbreaks of the Migratory Locust (Locusta Migratoria L) (Orthoptera: Acrididae) With Their Management Strategies
Authors: Zamir Rasib Khalid
Published: September 2022

The economic importance of locusts is well recognized throughout the world owing to their swarming behavior. The damage caused by hoppers on a small scale is mostly limited to local vegetation, primarily crops. Crop damage is overlooked, but it is tenacious in nature, and the effects they leave on planned systems, such as crop fields, are much more serious. Therefore, many taxa (genera or species) of the family Acrididae are considered as potential pests of farms, forests and even pastures. In general, the distribution of locusts decreases with increasing latitudes, i.e., Their occurrence increases towards the equator. When ecological conditions favour more plant growth and trigger more breeding, locusts can manage to aggregate in a huge voracious swarm and inflict damage to crops. When outbreaks of the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria L. arose in the southeastern part of Pakistan in the Sind, Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Minchinabad and Chistian adjoining districts bordering the eastern sides of India. As a result, further damage to crops and migration to other areas were prevented. Morphometric measurements indicated that the migrants had reached the body dimensions typical for gregarious forms. Drum and empty tin beating and pesticide application are both effective in managing locusts under field conditions. Swarms of adults landed on the grazing and farming lands of the country, specifically from Sind (Thar) to Chistian, Bahawalpur, Rahim yar khan, Minchinabad, Lodhran and adjacent districts in the region in November 2019, and caused substantial damage to agricultural crops and pastures. In the fall of 2019, numerous locusts suddenly swarmed in the affected areas, and thus, control was essential. The organochlorines are highly persistent and include dieldrin and HCH. These insecticides were the most favoured for locust control because of their efficacy, cost and persistence. Sprayed from land or aerial vehicles, whole swarms can be targeted in relatively short periods of time. Traditionally, the use of empty tin/drum was beaten to produce a loud sound that drove the locust away. The practices are cost effective and environmentally friendly

Published: September 2022

Transfusion reactions are the untoward event towards blood products. Although majority of transfusion reactions are uneventful sometimes it may have life threatening events. This study was conducted to estimate the incidence and determine the nature of blood transfusion reactions in our hospital. It also aims to find practices which could prevention such reactions. All the Adverse transfusion reactions were investigated in detail in the blood bank for the clerical errors, immunohematology workup and classified according to their nature. A total of 38308 units of components were issued to various departments in the hospital. Total 61 transfusion reactions were reported to the blood bank following transfusion of components only (0.16%). The most common type of transfusion reaction among all the ATRs was febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction (44%), followed by allergic (39%). Fever and chills, rigors were the most common symptom. Other reactions were dyspnoea, rashes and tachycardia. Avoiding unnecessary transfusion, red cell modification like leukofitration for FNHTR, red cell washing for allergic reactions and anaphylactoid reactions and implementing Patient Blood Management are tools to decrease transfusion reactions.
Prevalence of Transfusion-Transmissible Infections and Associated Risk Factors among Blood Donors in Bamenda, Cameroon
Authors: LE Abongwa
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Blood transfusion is considered a life-saving procedure but the presence of transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs) is a major public health concern. TTIs such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and Treponema pallidum (syphilis) are among the greatest threats to blood safety. In Cameroon, most of the patients remain undiagnosed as they are asymptomatic. This study aimed at determining the prevalence of TTIs and its associated risk factors in blood donors from the Northwest region of Cameroon. Methodology: A retrospective study of blood donors’ records from a rural and urban towns between 2015 to 2017 was reviewed. The data were analyzed using SPSS vs 23.0 and a p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 4020 (91.5%) blood donors were included in the study. The mean age was 27.8years and the proportion of male was 78.3% (3143). The prevalence of TTIs was 7.3% (292) and showed a significant (P=0.001) decreasing trend from 10.2% to 5.7 %. The prevalence of HBV, HCV, HIV and syphilis were 0.7% (27), 1.8% (73) and 1.9% (77) respectively. Except for HCV, all TTIs showed a decreasing trend. From the results, the positive rate of anyone of the TTIs was significantly (p< 0.05) higher among male 8.1% (255), replacement donors 9.1% (240) and those who had attained only basic education 8.5% (91). Co-infection was detected among 0.5% (19) blood donors and the highest prevalence was between HIV and Syphilis 0.15% (6). Independent predictors of anyone of the TTIs were; living in rural towns, males, age group >20 years replacement donors, civil servants, and those who had attained either basic or secondary education. Conclusion: Our data provides important findings that contribute to a better understanding of TTIs epidemiology in Bamenda. Further investigations are needed to assess the prevalence and determinants of these infections in other communities to support the development of effective prevention and control strategies. There is a need for stringent selection of blood donors. High sensitive and specific screening tests such as Nucleic acid testing enzyme immunoassays should be used to diagnose the high-risk donors.

Estimating the Population Density and Trend of Soemmerring gazelle in Hrey Gereb (Buri Peninsula), Northern Red Sea Zone, Eritrea, North East Africa
Authors: SR Kunduru
Published: September 2022

Soemmerring gazelle, scientifically named as Nanger soemmerring and a local name is Bus’adu (Afar, one of region of the state), smooth pelage, their shoulder height ranges between 81- 91 cm. and weight between 35 – 45 kg. Body coloration consists of a light tawny-brown or fawn color. Their head and neck are gradually lighter. A seasonal migrant with a herds composed of more than 15 individuals are identifiable features. These are often herds of females and their young, accompanied by a single adult male on his territory. Widely distributed throughout most of Djibouti, northern Somalia and the central coastal plain; north-east and central Sudan; lowland areas of Eritrea, the Ogden and other lowland areas of eastern Ethiopia [1]. Uncontrolled hunting and habitat destruction have most probably eliminated this species from its historic range in Sudan [2]. It still occupies substantial parts of its historical range in Djibouti, Somalia, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, but at lower densities and as isolated populations. Soemmering gazelle is endemic to the Horn of Africa. Data were collected in Hrey Gereb, Buri Peninsula, Eritrea, from two different seasons to get accuracy of this species of this area. The authors used line transacts methods to know the presence and density of the species. For this entire study the authors found 272 species throughout the period of study and the population density is 0.9921 per sq. km. was recorded. Vegetation mostly acacia, zizipus, calotropis and mangrove are available for feeding. Its population is gradually decreasing due to poaching, migration, draught and protracted wars with the neighboring states, as stated by the local population of the research area. Since, this species is vulnerable, it should be protected and though the Government of Eritrea has given a proclamation rules no. 155/2006 to conserve and protect and yet little poaching practices is going on, and still is required to save and preserve its species, as the data indicates their abundance is decreasing.
Commercializing Beef Sub-Sector in Arusha and Dar-es-Salaam Cities, Tanzania: Consumers’ Preferences and Willingness to Pay for Quality Beef
Authors: PP Kamugisha
Published: September 2022

Tanzania has huge livestock resource base of cattle herds amounting to 28,435,825; diverse feeds to satisfy 4.9m TLU annually and several modern slaughter houses. Despite its importance, the sector is used sub-optimally with over 95% of cattle produced traditionally to meet subsistence needs. Several efforts geared to commercialize the sector were supply driven in nature with limited consumers’ needs on board. To date there is limited information on preferences of consumers on quality beef (QB) products among consumers; and how would they react to the variation of its prices. Therefore this paper examined consumers’ preferences, their willingness to pay (WTP) and motives behind WTP for QB produced locally in Dar-es-Salaam and Arusha cities. Cross sectional design was used to collect data from 278 households that were analyzed through Principal component Analysis and multiple regression models. Findings revealed that 70% of beef consumers preferred fresh unrefrigerated beef with low fat content; and 91% were not willing to pay for QB because their definition of QB differs from that of QB suppliers. Additionally, the price of QB influenced consumers’ WTP negatively at 5% significant levels. It is recommended that QB suppliers design and supply a range of beef products tailored to meet needs of traditional beef consumers while championing creation of awareness among traditional beef consumers to demystify the wrong perception QB attributes among them

On the last day of the 56-day feeding and growth trial, 3 birds were decapitated per dietary treatment, singed in warm water, defeathered, eviscerated, deboned and meat cuts of about 800g each were obtained from the thigh and breast muscles of each of the representative birds per treatment was mixed in 0.4% of iodized common salt. They were cut into 2.5 – 3.0cm pieces before boiling in a pot at a cooking temperature range above 100oC for 20 minutes. The pieces of the boiled meat were placed according to the four (4) feed treatments. Twelve (12) consumer panelists (6 for the thigh and 6 for the breast muscles respectively) within the age range of 20 – 26 years were used for the sensory evaluation. The overall acceptability results depicted by the sensory parameters (colour, flavour, tenderness, juiciness and toughness) revealed that meat (thigh and breast) of broilers fed T2 (25%CSP: 75%M) were most preferred by consumers and will be recommended.

Authors: Jain Mayank
Published: September 2022

Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a non-motile, catalase positive, oxidase positive, non-glucose fermenting, gram negative bacilli which is resistant to common drugs active against gram negative organism. It presents as neonatal meningitis mostly in preterms as they have low immunity. Antibiotics which have shown effectiveness against this organism includes cefepime, tazobactam, piperacillin, cotrimoxazole, tigecycline, minocycline, quinolones and drugs active against gram positive bacteria such as vancomycin and rifampicin. Intraventricular therapy use has been limited owing to drug toxic effect. Seizures, hearing loss and chemical ventriculitis had been reported mostly as short term side effect. Long term side effect needs more follow up studies. Here we report a preterm newborn having E.meningoseptica ventriculitis showing improvement with intraventricular vancomycin without any short term adverse effect in first 6 months of life.
Prevalence of Anti-Human Papillomavirus IgG Antibody among Students of a Private Tertiary Institution in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria
Authors: RY Akele
Published: September 2022

Background: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is an oncogenic sexually transmitted virus. It is the leading cause of cervical cancer, penile, vulva, vaginal and anal high-grade dysplasia. Infections are usually asymptomatic only to manifest after several years, implying that most adults with symptoms must have been infected at their young ages. The risky sexual behavior of subjects at ages 16-24 makes then vulnerable. Objectives: This study evaluates the prevalence of anti-human Papillomavirus IgG antibody among students of a tertiary institution in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Methods: One hundred and fifty (150) blood samples were collected from consenting students (100 females and 50 males) age 16-24 in Ado-Ekiti. A structured questionnaire was administered concurrently. Sera were assayed using the anti-HPV-IgG antibody ELISA Kit (Melsin Medical Co. Limited). Data was analyzed using Epi-Info 7.2 Version Software and Excel. Ethical approval was obtained for the study. Results: Sixty eight (45%) of the total subjects were seropositive for anti-HPV-IgG antibody. Twenty six (52%) males and 42 (41%) females were seropositive. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in seropositivity across the ages and among the gender. Fifty nine (60%) of sexually active subjects were seropositive for anti-HPV-IgG antibody (p˂0.05). Thirty five (97%) non-condom users were seropositive (p<0.05) while fifty four (75%) of subjects who have had unprotected sex at one point in their lives were seropositive (p< 0.05). Only three of the subjects had been vaccinated. Conclusion: The high rate of seropositivity to anti-HPV-IgG antibody in the population is a cardinal pointer to high rate of exposure to HPV and a likely exposure to the high-risk serotype.

While the development of a vaccine against COVID-19 was eagerly awaited by most of the communities at the beginning of the pandemic, skeptical voices are now becoming louder, and rising evidence shows mixed patterns with a worldwide rather decreasing trend of acceptance. The reasons for vaccine refusal are complex and differ according to geographical and cultural context. Objective: To find out factors contributing to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among taxi drivers in Juba City-South Sudan. Methodology: This research was a descriptive cross-sectional study designs which used quantitative research method. The study was conducted between February-May 2022. It targeted all the taxi drivers offering taxi service in formal/designated taxi park. To ensure better representation, all the designated/formal taxi parks in the three (3) payams of Juba City (Juba, Kator and Munuki) were purposely selected for the study and the numbers of the respondents were assigned equally to the three (3) taxi park. Total sample size of 384 was used and about 128 taxi drivers were interviewed in each taxi park. The daily registration lists of the taxi in the taxi parks were used as a sampling frame. Drivers were selected at a random from the sample frame using simple random sampling technique until the required number was met. A Self-administered close ended questionnaire was used to collect the data and responses from the questionnaires were manually validated and entered in excel spread sheet version 2019. It was analyzed and presented inform of tables, graphs, and pie-charts. Results: About 116 (30%) of the drivers were above the age of 35 years. Majority of the participants 376 (98%) heard about COVID-19 vaccine. Of those who heard about the COVID-19 vaccine, 201 (28%) stated that they heard through social media. When asked on their readiness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, majority of the respondent 256 (67%) specified that they would not accept to be vaccinated if COVID-19 vaccine was offered to them. Amongst those who refused to be vaccinated, majority of the respondent 180 (26%) reported that they were concern on the adverse effects of the vaccine. Conclusion: Vaccine hesitancy is a major threat to curving down the COVID-19 pandemic. This research findings showed that majority of the respondent heard about COVID-19 vaccine using social media. Furthermore, this research established that majority of the taxi drivers would not accept to be vaccinated when the COVID-19 vaccine was offered to them due to fears of adverse effects of the vaccine; others were concern of acquiring COVID-19 infection from the vaccine itself

El siguiente trabajo analiza las representaciones de docentes de nivel secundario de las diferentes regiones de la Argentina sobre la medida política de retorno a la presencialidad educativa en 2021, y los debates y tensiones sobre el escenario educativo que aparecen en las miradas docentes. Se analizaron 15 entrevistas realizadas a docentes de diferentes regiones del país. Si bien los/las docentes expresan opiniones de acuerdo y desacuerdo al respecto, no es sencillo categorizarlas en uno de estos dos planos, ya que las opiniones se encuentran atravesadas por contradicciones, ambivalencias y contrastes en los/las docentes de las diferentes jurisdicciones. Por otra parte, las opiniones de las/los docentes sobre la medida política se encuentran vinculadas a los debates y tensiones en torno a la vuelta de la presencialidad, atravesados por el escenario político-partidario y la opinión pública sobre la valorización del trabajo docente en pandemia. En consecuencia, las/los docentes expresan una “partidización” de la cuestión educativa que trae como resultado, en la opinión pública y los sectores políticos, la configuración de posicionamientos y discursos radicalizados.
Regímenes de representación política en la Argentina postneoliberal. Los sindicatos de transporte durante los años kirchneristas (2003-2014)
Authors: Stoessel Soledad
Published: September 2022

El artículo reconstruye el vínculo sociopolítico entre los gobiernos argentinos de Néstor Kirchner y Cristina Fernández y los sindicatos de transporte terrestre durante el período 2003-2014. Estos gremios han mostrado históricamente una punzante capacidad de movilización social, de ofrecer apoyo político-electoral y de paralizar el flujo de la economía. En virtud de esta capacidad y de las necesidades del modelo neodesarrollista en ciernes, dichos gobiernos gestionaron el vínculo con estas organizaciones activando distintas lógicas de representación política según las cambiantes coyunturas y las correlaciones de fuerza. A partir del debate en torno a las teorías contemporáneas de la representación política, el texto desarrolla esta hipótesis y propone una tipología para explicar este caso de estudio. Concluye que durante el kirchnerismo se configuraron dos tipos de regímenes de representación que involucraron a los transportistas: uno entre 2004-2011, en el cual se articularon las lógicas corporativa, partidaria, populista y parlamentaria, y otro entre 2012-2014 en que tal régimen quedó debilitado y primó una lógica partidaria que derivó en la ruptura de dicha alianza.
Contraofensiva burguesa a las organizaciones obreras. La resolución de la crisis hegemónica, Entre Ríos 1919-1922
Authors: Leyes Rodolfo Matías
Published: September 2022

Desde 1919 la burguesía argentina respondió a las luchas obreras con diferentes mecanismos de contención social, donde la represión tuvo un papel destacado. El presente trabajo trata de explicar los motivos, las coyunturas internas en el periodo y, desde luego, los hechos represivos en sí mismos. El objetivo es reconstruir los hechos, presentar los actores sociales y demostrar el acuerdo entre el gobierno y las patronales para sofocar las demandas laborales, destruir o limitar las organizaciones gremiales y someter a los trabajadores al dominio del capital. Nuestro análisis se centró en la provincia de Entre Ríos, escenario privilegiado de los hechos represivos. Para ofrecer una reconstrucción fiel a los hechos nos hemos valido de una gran cantidad de fuentes de diversos tipos, como prensas obreras y comerciales y fuentes del Ministerio del interior de la Nación.

This work aims to study and identify the difficulties in organizing the feeding process of preschoolers with autism syndrome and the features of the ergo therapy approach.
The methodology of data processing and analysis is entirely based on the approach of quantitative research methodology. Data, obtained through this methodology, are expressed in the form of numbers and percentages, which in turn allow the researcher to interpret the data through numbers, to provide objective and accurate information about it (Sharoyan 2013).
As part of the research, an electronic survey was conducted, in which 35 parents of children of preschool age with autism syndrome participated.
The level of awareness of the parents regarding the work of the ergo therapist was revealed, in particular, the organization of the feeding process was addressed. Preschool children with autism syndrome mostly used the services offered by an occupational therapist and 14% did not use the service of an occupational therapist; the need for intervention and services provided by an occupational therapist in overcoming difficulties in organizing the feeding process was evident.

Mental health difficulties across university student populations are seen as a serious problem as for universities as well as for their wider communities. Students can search, identify, and evaluate the problems and business opportunities and can come up with new solutions to those problems. During the process of solution search, students might be able to use the development tools and creativity models.
The problem is more actual while dealing with students having learning disabilities. Thus, two main solutions were identified: the Emotion Tool and Be a Buddy.
Diseño y tecnología digital, transformación e influencia sobre el paradigma estético
Authors: Morales Holguín Arodi , González Bello Edgar Oswaldo
Published: September 2022

Aesthetics has been part of man in all its stages, because in all these arts is located as a cultural inclusion, as well as reflection on beauty; set of influence on the development of man as an individual, as well as in his social group. It is a phenomenon that has not been extensive to live transformations, being more abrupt those experienced in the last decades, promoted mainly by the irruption of digital technology and Internet, as well as material culture and consumption that are posed in this text. These are elements that have scrambled aesthetic ideals to generate new expressions and a juncture where the presence of design is identified as a significant manifestation of a new aesthetic that is shaping an aesthetic and dialogical design of functional experience. As a balance, the design-function relationship seems to have greater strength than the function of the symbol.

Salah satu aspek penting dalam budidaya tanaman adalah pemupukan. Pemupukan yang baik dan berimbang akan berdampak positif bagi kelangsungan tanaman. Penggunaan mikroorganisme lokal ekstrak daging keong mas pada media air kelapa, sebagai pupuk alternatif adalah bentuk teknologi tepat guna dalam mendukung konsep pertanian terpadu dan berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan produk formula mikroorganisme lokal ekstrak daging keong mas pada media air kelapa, yang mampu meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman. Percobaan ini menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok (RAK) dengan 5 perlakuan, yang terdiri atas kontrol positif (NPK Mutiara), Kontrol negatif (akuades) dan 3 perlakuan penyiraman dengan formula MOL. Indikator pertumbuhan tanaman yang diamati adalah tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, panjang akar, diameter batang, berat basah dan kering tanaman. Data hasil penelitian dianalisis secara sidik ragam menggunakan aplikasi statistik 8, jika berbeda nyata maka akan diuji lanjut menggunakan LSD pada taraf 5%. Secara keseluruhan, hasil penelitian menunjukkan introduksi MOL ekstrak keong mas pada media air kelapa berbagai konsentrasi, mampu meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman. Masing-masing perlakuan memberikan efek yang berbeda dalam meningkatkan pertumbuhan. Analisis sidik ragam terhadap efektivitas Mol ekstrak keong mas pada media air kelapa berbagai konsentrasi sebagai pemacu pertumbuhan, didapatkan perlakuan B (konsentrasi 5%) sebagai perlakuan terbaik. Hal ini terbukti dari kemampuan konsentrasi tersebut dalam meningkatkan tinggi tanaman, panjang akar, berat kering dan basah tanaman tanaman mentimun. Oleh karena itu, perlakuan tersebut berpotensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai biofertilizer, pengganti pupuk kimia sintetis dalam memacu pertumbuhan tanaman dan pemenuhan kebutuhan pemupukan.

Published: September 2022

Wind tunnel adalah sebuah alat uji yang  berbentuk terowongan, dimana udara akan dipaksa melaju dengan kecepatan yang diatur, sehingga dapat mempelajari efek aliran aerodinamis dari benda yang ada. Anemometer adalah  alat (instrumen) yang digunakan untuk mengukur arah dan kecepatan angin. Anemometer dibagi dalam dua kategori yaitu alat untuk mengukur kecepatan (velocity) dari angin dan alat untuk mengukur tekanan dari angin. Pengukuran anemometer dilakukan secara berkala menggunakan wind tunnel, dimana kecepatan angin dalam tunnel dapat diatur yang kemudian dibandingkan dengan kecepatan angin yang terukur oleh anemometer. Wind tunnel terdiri dari beberapa bagian yaitu: contraction cone, test section, diffuser. Perancangan prototipe ini menggunakan motor listrik dan fan yang dapat diatur kecepatan yang terletak di drive section untuk menghasilkan hembusan angin di dalam wind tunnel. Tujuan dalam perancangan wind tunnel ini antara lain: merancang dan membuat prototipe wind tunnel sebagai kalibrator anemometer, mengetahui desain wind tunnel yang baik agar menghasilkan aliran udara yang seragam dengan tingkat turbulensi serendah mungkin, dan menghitung tingkat intensitas turbulensi di dalam wind tunnel
