Published: June 2021

Background: Effective control of malaria requires knowledge of vector species, their feeding and resting behaviour as well as breeding habitats. The objective of this study was to determine malaria vector species abundance and identify their larval habitats in Huye district, southern Rwanda.Methods: Adult mosquitoes were collected indoors using light trap and pyrethrum spray catch techniques, and outdoors using light traps. Female Anopheles mosquitoes were identified to species level by morphological characteristics. Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to screen for Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein and host blood meal sources. Anopheles larvae were sampled using dippers and raised into adult mosquitoes which were identified morphologically.Results: Anopheles gambiae sensu lato comprised of 70% of the 567 Anopheles collected. Other Anopheles species identified were An. funestus 4%, An. squamosus 16.5%, An. maculipalpis 6.5%, An. ziemanni 1.7%, An. pharoensis 1.2 % and An. coustani 0.1%. The majority, 63.5% of the collected mosquitoes were from indoors collections. The overall human blood index was 0.509. The P. falciparum circumsporozoite protein was found in 11 mosquitos including 8 Anopheles gambiae s.l. and 3 secondary vectors out of the 567 tested. The overall sporozoite rate was 1.9%. A total of 661 Anopheline larvae from 22 larval habitats were collected. They comprised of An. gambiae s.l. (89%) and An. ziemanni (11%). The absolute breeding index was 86.4%. The most common larval habitats were in full sunlight with still water like rice paddies and pools of stagnant water.Conclusion: These findings show that Anopheles gambiae s.l. is the dominant malaria vector in the area with other vectors playing a secondary role in malaria transmission. Malaria interventions need to be strengthened to reduce even further the malaria transmission in the area.

Published: June 2021

Background: Post-operative pain is an essential component of good surgical patient care plan. In developing countries however, the prevalence of post-operative pain is relatively very high and pain control strategies are not very promising. The objective of this study was to assess post-operative pain prevalence, predictors, management practices and satisfaction among operated cases at a regional referral hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.Methods: Prospective hospital based descriptive observational study of operated cases at a Temeke Regional Referral Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Data was collected using a pre-constructed questionnaire and a visual pain intensity scale.Results: A total of 136 patients were recruited with mean age of 37.1±15 years (range= 14–80 years). The prevalence of pain was 100%, 83.9%, and 36% at 12, 24 and 48 hours, respectively. At 12 hours moderate to worst pain was reported in 95.6% of cases. The main prediction factor for severe to worst pain at 12 hours was orthopaedic procedures (p=0.05, AOR=3.456), while widow/divorced marital status and female sex were negatively correlated to severity of pain (p=0.005, AOR=0.0230 and p=0.000, AOR=0.034, respectively). The commonest drugs prescribed post-operatively were injection pethidine (50.5%) and tramadol (48.9%) and oral tramadol (47.6%). Pain management satisfaction rate was paradoxically high (74.3%), with male sex being the main predictor.Conclusion: The prevalence of early post-operative pain is very high. Male sex and orthopaedic procedures are associated with severe pain. Surgeons therefore need to prioritize analgesic prescription at early hours following operation to minimize pain and suffering to patients focusing on orthopaedic procedures.

Authors: Faya Ally , Charles Mwesige , Sembajwe Larry Fred , Dika Haruna I.
Published: June 2021

Background: While it is customary to apply the same haematological reference ranges, variations exist between populations. This study was conducted to determine hematologic profiles among a local population of north-western Tanzania.Methods:  This was a cross sectional study, which enrolled healthy adult blood donors in Mwanza, Tanzania. Collected blood samples were put in EDTA-coated tubes and haematological indices were determined using Auto Hematology-Analyzer. Results are summarized in medians plus 95% interquartile ranges and compared using either Mann–Whitney U or Kruskal–Wallis tests depending on appropriateness.Results:  A total of 163 (143 males and 20 females) adult healthy blood donors (median age= 31 years) were enrolled.  We found a median haemoglobin level of 15.1 g/dL [10.5-23.8], erythrocytes of 5.3x106/µL [4.1-8.3 x106], haematocrit of 44.0 % [32.4-71.4], total leucocytes of 4300 cells/μL [1700-8500], lymphocytes 1700/μL [800-3000], neutrophils 2100/μL [300-5300]; mid-sized cells (monocytes, eosinophils and basophils) of 400/μL [100-1400] and platelets of 194x103/μL [55.2-379.0 x103].  We observed significantly higher haemoglobin level (P = 0.017) as well as erythrocytes (P = 0.012) and haematocrit (p = 0.006) among males than females.   Conclusion: The percentile range (2.5%-97.5%) which can be used to determine the higher and lower values of haematological profile normal ranges for most indices differ from Western adopted reference values.  Therefore, we recommend a large study to establish local normal hematologic reference values.

Published: June 2021

Background: Majority of mothers in Tanzania fail to practice effective breastfeeding for various reasons. The objective of this study was to determine breastfeeding- related information seeking behaviour among parents in Mbeya City of Tanzania.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used. Parents of infants and children aged between 0-2 years and health care workers were interviewed. Secondary data was collected by using documentary review. Information sought was related to the perceptions of parents towards the usefulness of breastfeeding and breastfeeding practices. The observation method was used to identify and verify the actual available, accessible, and usable breastfeeding information.Results: The key findings suggest that information needs of parents and sources and channels used vary and depended on the time intended to breastfed the child. Mainly, the parents’ needs information on nutritious food, introduction of complimentary food, breast care, and care techniques for when away from babies, frequency and implications of breastfeeding. Friends, relatives, neighbours, health professional were the most commonly sources of breastfeeding information. The majority of parents perceived that access to and usage of breastfeeding information improve breastfeeding rate, decision making, increase awareness and knowledge, and breastfeeding practices.Conclusion: Information seeking behaviour varies from one parent to another hence the varying preferences in informal and formal sources. Increasing accessibility and usability of breastfeeding information is necessary in ensuring that one of the basic human rights is safeguarded

Authors: Said Khadija , Katakweba Abdul , Machang'u Robert
Published: June 2021

Background: Leptospirosis is a neglected disease of worldwide distribution, affecting both human and animals caused by infection with pathogenic species of the genus Leptospira. This study was carried out to determine the awareness of canine leptospirosis among dog keeping communities in Morogoro, Tanzania.Methods: Awareness among dog owners for canine leptospirosis was assessed using semi-structured questionnaire among randomly chosen dog owners in Morogoro, Tanzania. Information sought from the dog owners included: awareness of dog diseases in general and specifically canine leptospirosis; clinical signs, transmission, treatment, prevention, and awareness that canine leptospirosis is zoonotic.Results: A total of 124 dog owners participated in the study. Of these, 90% were not aware of the existence of canine leptospirosis. Fifteen percent of the participants were not aware that dogs could get disease. The majority of the respondents (98.4%; n=122) did not know the clinical signs of leptospirosis in dogs. The few (1.6%) who knew mentioned jaundice, bloody diarrhoea, blood in urine, loss of appetite and vomiting as the clinical signs of leptospirosis in dogs. None of the respondents knew how canine leptospirosis is treated, or that the disease is a health risk to humans. Only one respondent (0.8%) knew that the control of canine leptospirosis could be achieved through vaccination.Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate there is little awareness of canine leptospirosis and its potential public health risk among dog owners in Morogoro, Tanzania. The findings of this study indicate the need to raise awareness of the disease among the dog owners and the general population.

Published: June 2021

Background: Despite the successful conduct of three Phase I/II HIV vaccine trials in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, misperception around the trials has been reported. In this study, misperception means incorrect understanding that in Phase I/II HIV vaccine trial, the researchers infected the volunteers with HIV. We describe the magnitude of misperception around HIV vaccine trials and associated factors among participating communities in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study that included 605 respondents aged ³18 years from the communities that participated in Phase I/II HIV vaccine trials. These communities comprised of youths, Police and Prison officers. Respondents were interviewed using a pre-tested questionnaire on socio-demographic characteristics, HIV knowledge, and responses to HIV vaccine trial related questions.

Results: Of the 605 respondents, 156 (26%) had misperception that the researchers infected the volunteers with HIV during the trials, while 58% weren’t sure whether the researchers infected the volunteers with the HIV or not. Awareness about progress in HIV vaccine development (adjusted risk ratio (RR)=1.50; 95% CI=1.11 – 2.04), participation in an HIV vaccine sensitization meeting (adjusted RR=1.50; 95% CI=1.14-1.97) and advanced secondary education (adjusted RR=1.92; 95% CI=1.19 – 3.09) were associated with an increased likelihood of having the misperception that researchers infected the volunteers. Nevertheless, the majority (94.5%) of respondents showed a willingness to know more about ongoing HIV vaccine studies while about 44.3% had reservations of taking part in HIV vaccine trials due to fear of getting HIV from the vaccine.

Conclusions: The misperception that researchers infected volunteers with HIV in Phase I/II trial is significant and was associated with respondents’ awareness about HIV vaccine development, participation in sensitization meetings and advanced education. Partial knowledge about HIV vaccine trials was of note. Future HIV vaccine trials should strive to address the knowledge gap.

Authors: Sohal Karpal Singh , Moshy Jeremiah Robert
Published: June 2021

Background: Facial laceration is amongst the commonly encountered soft tissue injury in the care of the traumatized patients, and its optimal treatment is important for minimizing subsequent complications. This study aimed at determining the etiology, pattern, and outcome of management of facial lacerations among patients attended at Muhimbili National Hospital, Tanzania.

Methods: This was a four months’ prospective study of all consecutive patients with facial lacerations who were attended in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of the Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH). The variables examined included socio-demographic characteristics, etiology of a facial laceration, prior management before referral to MNH, and the outcome of treatment. The data were analysed using IBM SPSS statistics for windows version 22 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp) software.

Results: Seventy-six patients with facial lacerations were included in the study. The male to female ratio was 8:1. The age of the patients ranged from 16 to 57 years, with a mean age of 31.63 ± 10.02 years. Motor traffic crashes (51, 67.1%), violence (18, 23.7%) and falls (7, 9.2%) were the etiological factors. The commonest affected facial esthetic zones were forehead (25, 32.9%), and the upper lip (24, 31.6%). The majority (60%) of wounds that were sutured/repaired in other health facilities prior to referral to MNH had a poor approximation of wound edges. Scarring was the commonest complication.

Conclusion: Facial laceration affected males eight times more than females. Road traffic crash was the most common etiological factor. The forehead was the most frequently affected facial esthetic zone. The majority of patients treated in other health facilities prior to referral to a tertiary hospital had poorly approximated wound edges. Scarring was the most common complication of facial lacerations.

Published: June 2021

Introduction: In 2018, there were appropriately 20.6 million [18.2 million–23.2 million] people living with HIV in Eastern and Southern Africa, and an estimated 67% of them were on antiretroviral therapy (ART). A major challenge in the scale-up of ART services in Sub-Saharan Africa is the severe shortage of clinical staff.

Methods: We conducted a randomised trial in Tanzania and Zambia to test an innovative intervention that involved the use of lay health workers and screening for cryptococcal meningitis and tuberculosis. Here we describe the model of care with a particular focus on the trained lay worker component. Lay workers carried out home visits to patients in the intervention arm to deliver antiretroviral drugs, provide adherence counselling, and conduct simple monitoring for treatment side effects and other medical conditions. Lay workers were responsible for referring patients with conditions that might require further medical attention as well as discouraging self-referral. A total of 1999 participants were enrolled in the trial. Lay workers were recruited through public advertisements.

Results: Six lay workers were recruited in each country and trained for two weeks. Each lay worker was paid a monthly salary of US$ 487.61 in Zambia and US$ 524.61in Tanzania. They were also paid communication and transport expenses for home visits. The median number of visits per patient was 3 for Tanzania and 4 for Zambia. On average a lay worker was responsible for 72.3 patients in Tanzania and 94.5 in Zambia for 1 year. Referrals were made in 9% of the home visits and self-referral was discouraged in 64% of visits.

Conclusion: The use of paid lay workers to provide HIV/AIDS services in urban settings where there is a shortage of clinical staff may help to identify ART related side effects/adverse reactions and prevent unnecessary referrals.

Published: June 2021

The purpose of this research is to reveal the innovation model and obstacles faced by the Indonesian government in handling the Covid-19 epidemic case. Based on previous research, supply chain management is needed because supply chain disruptions and inventory depletion (such as medical supplies and medical equipment) both in high and low resource settings have catapulted the core components of IPC 8 (environment, materials, and equipment for IPC). The research method used is qualitative, especially phenomenology. The novelty of this research lies in the innovation of the supply chain model and the Covid-19 handling constraints obtained through a series of empirical studies and literature reviews that allow it to be used by decision makers. The results revealed that various innovations to meet the supply chain relating to the handling of Covid-19 have been carried out by the government ranging from the creation of special hospitals, the appointment of public hospitals to the referral hospitals specifically Covid-19, the purchase of medicines from other countries that were imported , a mask development company, increases mask production for state-owned and private companies that produce masks, increases alcohol production, and recruits human resources in the health sector, especially for final year students majoring in health. While various obstacles faced, namely the low awareness of the community to do social distinguish in daily interactions, low awareness of the community to work from home, learn from home, and worship at home and the many people who have to work outside the home when they want to fulfill the day their daily needs, the threat of an unemployment explosion, and fears of social insecurity are also the causes of government difficulties in making locked decisions

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar uma prática de leitura e escrita na perspectiva discursiva, a partir de versões da literatura na reconstrução de histórias, tendo como foco a autoria. A base teórica que sustenta esta reflexão é a Análise do Discurso (AD), ancorada nos estudos de Michel Pêcheux, na França, e de Eni Puccinelli Orlandi, no Brasil, a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) brasileira e o Documento de Referência Curricular de Mato Grosso (DRC-MT). A finalidade foi trabalhar discursivamente a obra literária, desenvolvendo competências e habilidades por meio de atividades que conduziram ao estabelecimento de relações de semelhanças e diferenças entre esses materiais, nas quais demos visibilidade aos efeitos de sentido produzidos, considerando os diferentes processos de constituição, formulação e circulação das diferentes materialidades significantes como produto final. As atividades foram realizadas entre 2019 e 2020, na Escola Estadual Rui Barbosa, distrito de Monte Castelo - Brasil, por meio de um projeto de leitura que se iniciou em 2012 e que vem se aperfeiçoando gradativamente, mas tem mostrado que vale a pena investir em práticas de sala de aula diferenciadas e contribuir de forma significativa para que todos que dele participarem promovam o crescimento intelectual e ampliem a perspectiva de futuro prevista na ótica educacional.

Political Systems and Political Elites of the Post-Soviet States under Globalization
Authors: Sherhin S.
Published: June 2021

The article presents an analytical review of actual problems of the post-soviet states political systems within globalization in Ukraine and Russia. Special attention is paid to the consideration ofgeneral and particular features of political elites in both countries under impact of global transformations. The variety of globalization’s exercises complicates the valuation of its impact onsocial and state-political development the world over. Positive or negative influence of globalization processes particularly the global structures on world’s development is the main point of the present-day political studies. In terms of political science phenomena of globalization could be determined as a process of creation of integral global economy and institutional legalization of its integrity as well as transnational elite’s will to establish the system of global governance. Globalization accelerated the structural deformation of political elites and social differentiation that escalated socio-political conflicts and caused the stagnation of liberal democracy. In spite of some distinctions in results of transformations in Ukraine’s and Russia’s political systems the political elite that has been formed in these countries is characterized as socially heterogenic, bureaucratic, oligarchic, corruptive, populist and dependent on the global structures.
The Community of Ukrainian Prisoners of War “Independent Ukraine” at the Final Stage of the Existence of the Camp Rastatt, Germany (May – November 1918)
Authors: Sribnyak I.
Published: June 2021

The article deals with the specifics of the functioning of the community of captured Ukrainian soldiers “Independent Ukraine” at the final stage of the camp Rastatt. The most important thing was that the Ukrainian community “Independent Ukraine” of the camp Rastatt trained a large number of nationally conscious Ukrainians, of whom, in February 1918, the first units of the national army were formed. At this time prisoners found them in a very difficult situation, which was caused by food shortage that Germany was going through at this time. Equally important was the work of liquidation committee and department “Help the Ukrainian Cultural Committee in Germany” in Rastatt, which on August 1, 1918 took over maintenance of the cultural and organizational work in the camp. Through the efforts of its members in the camp continued carrying out educational work, and the camp remained the center of Ukrainian life until its liquidation in November 1918.
Theoretical and Methodological Foundations of the Memory Policy in the Global Context: History and Modernity
Authors: Metelyova T. , Soloshenko V.
Published: June 2021

The article is an analytical review of the evolution of historical and collective memory issues and of the development of memory studies. The analysis of the scientific achievements in the field ofmemory studies has revealed the ineffably selective nature of collective memory, in which its work for restoration of the Past is carried out according to the laws and needs of the Modernity. Thus, thepoliticization of the Past is an integral part of its functioning in the Present. In the countries of young democracy the increase of the degree of politicization of the Past is also determined by the logic of the nation-building processes. It was revealed that sacred and mythological nature of the “heroic narrative” is serving as the identification basis for the community and the “reference point” is associated with it. That is why very often the moment when “everything began” causes the deployment of “wars of memory” around them. In the context of globalization the “war of memory” goes beyondnational borders and turns into a factor of interstate relations. It is found that in the modern world in the field of memory politics a global consensus has already been formed, and it is based on theprinciples of the universality of human rights, freedom and democracy. This causes a change in the earlier memory narratives, which were based on images of victories and triumphs, by the narratives ofhistorical trauma and sacrifice.
Luzhitsky Ethnosaving Movement in the Revolution of 1848-1849
Authors: Bevzyuk E.
Published: June 2021

The national and cultural activities of the Lusatian Serbs in the period of the revolution of 1848-1849 are one of the brightest and most controversial pages of the past of this small Slavic people ofGermany. During the revolution, the Lusatian Serbs, through their ideologues, with their locallyprovincial patriotism, were oriented towards supporting paternalistic relations with the royal authorities. To the main factors of the participation of the least numerous Slavic people in the revolutionary events of the middle of the XIX century national-cultural and ethnopolitical should be considered. During the revolution of 1848-1849, Serbs from the broad democratic program chose the path of humanization and moderate social liberalization. The first met the national and cultural needs of the people, and the second did not set the ethnic group in opposition to the monarchical power and democratic forces of Germany. In our opinion, the assumption of a possible ethnic minority of wider national rights or autonomy, subject to decisive action during the revolution, is unfounded. Already at the beginning of the XIX century the Lusatian Serbs ethnic group was a statistical minority in its ethnic region, which was divided between the two European states (Prussia and Saxony), therefore calls for more determined national requirements in ethnically mixed areas were not widespread, and the radicalization of thenational movement could lead to ethno-lateral consequences.
DOŽIVOTNI ZATVOR I USLOVNI OTPUST U KRIVIČNOM PRAVU SRBIJE: NEKA PITANJA I DILEME
Authors: Ćorović Emir
Published: June 2021

Life imprisonment was introduced to Serbian Criminal legislation with the amendments of Criminal Code from 2019. These amendments replaced the former penalty of imprisonment from 30 to 40 years. Special attention was drawn by the fact that the new legislation allows the possibility of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for committing certain crimes. This legal solution is considered not to be in accordance with the Article 3 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Still, the prohibition of parole was introduced to Serbian criminal law in 2013, with the adoption of the Law on the special measures for the prevention of crimes against sexual freedom towards minors. However, at that time the academic community did not give the attention it deserved to the justification of this prohibition, which by itself generates many concerns. That is why, when discussing the problematics of life imprisonment and parole, and its prohibition, one has to bear in mind the previously structured legal frame, as well as the concerns that such a prohibition creates, regardless of whether it not it relates to life imprisonment or timely limited imprisonment.

Variabel pengaruh dalam penelitian ini meliputi tingkat pendidikan, jenis kelamin, umur, tingkat pendidikan non formal, potensi, kompetensi, perilaku, latihan, kedisiplinan, kesehatan dan pengalaman kerja.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bobot prioritas variabel-variabel pengaruh yang mempengaruhi sumber daya manusia dalam mengendalikan mutu jalan yang meliputi pembangunan, peningkatan dan pemeliharaan jalan. Penelitian ini menggunakan data primer yang diperoleh dari hasil survai. Survai dilakukan dengan metode kuesioner yang disebarkan oleh para ahli yang berkompeten di bidang pengendalian mutui jalan.

Penelitian ini menggunakan dua metode yaitu dengan metode Analisis Faktor dan metode AHP. Untuk metode Analisis Faktor bertujuan untuk mereduksi variabel pengaruh SDM yang terbentuk. Hasil penelitian diperoleh dari sebelas variabel pengaruh SDM yang terbentuk yang kemudian diseleksi menggunakan metode Analisis Faktor didapatkan sembilan variabel pengaruh SDM terseleksi yang telah dikelompokkan menjadi tiga faktor yaitu pendidikan formal, perilaku pengalaman kerja.

Hasil penelitian dengan metode AHP diperoleh bobot prioritas masing-masing kriteria terhadap tujuan SDM untuk mengendalikan mutu jalan yaitu Pendidikan formal = 32,9 %, Perilaku = 27,7 %, Pengalaman kerja = 39,4 %. Pembobotan alternatif dalam pengendalian mutu jalan yang meliputi pembangunan jalan, peningkatan jalan, pemeliharaan jalan ditinjau dari variabel pengaruh SDM yang terseleksi diperoleh hasil yang hampir sama akan tetapi bobot prioritas yang terbesar terdapat pada pembangunan jalan sebesar 34,5% diikuti dengan peningkatan jalan sebesar 33,3% dan pemeliharaan jalan sebesar 32,2%.

The nominee agreement is an agreement made between a person who by law can not be the subject of a particular land title (in this case the Right or the Right to Build). In this case a foreign national with an Indonesian citizen, which is intended for foreigners to possess the land of ownership or the right to use the building (de facto), but legally (de jure) of the land concerned on behalf of the Indonesian citizen. In other words, Indonesian citizen borrowed its name by foreigners citizen (acting as nominee). The existence of the obscurity of the norm in Article 26 paragraph (2) concerning whether the legal act of a foreigner / foreigner in a notarial deed called a nominee deed is valid for one year and thereafter if not transferred shall fall to the state having the same meaning and intent with the provision of Article 21 paragraph (3). This is particularly important to be considered since Article 26 paragraph (2) implicitly prohibits that legal acts directly or indirectly intended to transfer land rights from Indonesian citizens to foreigners / foreigners are null and void because the law and land fall to the State . Because the phrase that states other acts intended to directly or indirectly transfer the ownership rights to a stranger in Article 26 paragraph (2) of the BAL raises various interpretations (interpretations) so that there arises doubts that lead to the escape of norms (vague van normen).
Globális válság, lokális likviditás? : A koronavírus-válság hatásának vizsgálata többországos DSGE-modell keretében likviditáskereslet alapján heterogén bankrendszerrel
Authors: Czelleng Ádám
Published: June 2021

A tanulmány a koronavírus-járvány által kiváltott válságot a bankrendszer likviditásának függvényében vizsgálta. Arra a kérdésre kerestük a választ, hogy a bankrendszer likviditási helyzete az euróövezetben, illetve Magyarországon milyen módon és mértékben befolyásolja a pandémia által előidézett gazdasági hatásokat. Az eredmények igazolják, hogy a pénzügyi frikciók (piaci súrlódások, tökéletlenségek) figyelembevételével – elsősorban a beruházásokra gyakorolt hatás mértéke miatt – a kilábalás üteme is eltérő lehet ahhoz képest, hogy pénzügyi rendszert nem feltételezünk a modellben. A hatások erősebbek és a kilábalási pálya kismértékben módosul, ha a bankokat megkülönböztetjük likviditási pozíciójuk alapján. A vizsgálati módszer egy több országot tartalmazó dinamikus modell volt. A cikk a hazai szakirodalomban elsőként dolgozta fel a bankrendszer likviditási pozíciójának hatásait gazdasági sokk esetén, megkülönböztetve a modellben likviditásbő és likviditáshiányos bankokat. Egyik következtetése, hogy a magyar bankrendszer likviditásának egyenletes bővítése – amelyben szerepe van mind a monetáris politikának, mind a szabályozásnak (mikro- és makroprudenciális politikának) – a hazai gazdaság stabilizálásának szükséges, de nem elégséges feltétele. A hatások aszimmetrikusak, azaz az euróövezet bankrendszere likviditásának javulása csak kismértékben járul hozzá a hazai hatás csökkentéséhez, de a negatív eredmény az euróövezetben szignifikánsan erősíti a negatív hazai makrogazdasági hatásokat. A hatások minimalizálásához szükségesek célzott, jól időzített intézkedések, amelyek átlátható és fenntartható (minimális prudenciális elvárásoknak eleget tevő) tevékenység mellett segíthetik a kilábalást.

Grouper and Asian seabass are among the economically important cultured marine fish in Malaysia. However, fry productions in large scale tend to introduce stress that changes the fish microbiota and increases susceptibility to diseases. Currently, high-throughput sequencing is used to study fish microbiota and their respective gene functions. In this study, we investigate the diversity, abundance and functional genes of intestinal microbiota of tiger grouper and Asian seabass that were reared in a semi-closed hatchery during dry and wet seasons. Intestinal samples were collected from tiger grouper and Asian seabass of different sizes before proceeded to DNA extraction. The extracted DNA were then subjected to 16S
rRNA gene amplicon sequencing using the Illumina Miseq platform targeting V3 and V4 regions for determination of the bacterial diversity, abundance and functional genes in both seasons. The results revealed that intestinal microbiota of Asian seabass were dominated by the phylum Proteobacteria and order Vibrionales in both seasons. Meanwhile, intestinal microbiome of tiger groupers were shifted from domination of phylum Firmicutes and order Clostridiales in dry season to Proteobacteria and order Lactobacillales in wet season. PICRUSt analysis revealed that the functional genes that were dominantly present were the genes encoded for metabolism, genetic information processing, environmental information processing, cellular process and human diseases. Remarkably, SIMPER analysis showed several potential metagenomics biomarker genes in dry and wet seasons. This study revealed the importance of utilizing amplicon metagenomics approaches in microbiome studies for better identification of the microbial profiling in aquaculture systems.

A comprehensive assessment on the orchid flora of Gunung Ledang, Johor, Malaysia was carried out from 2012 to 2018 with the aim to re-evaluate the presence of orchid species listed by Ridley in his “Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 35:1–28”, published in 1901, after more than 100 years. The relevant account for comparison is also listed, noting that Ridley’s historical collections were for the isolated group of hills commonly known as Gunung Ledang (Mount Ophir), while the collated item in Orchidaceae is part of catalogues for the whole of Peninsular Malaysia. After Ridley, no account on the orchid flora of Gunung Ledang has been properly given, particularly from the uppermost peak of the mountain, where many interesting plants and orchids are to be found there. This study identified 26 species or 67% were the same as those recorded by Ridley (1901), and 65 species or 83% of Turner (1995) checklist of 270 species of orchids for the state of Malacca and Johor, including the common and widespread species to Peninsular Malaysia. By contribution, this paper provides an updated account on the diversity of orchids in Gunung Ledang, listing 122 species of orchids, of which eight are endemic to Peninsular Malaysia, two are hyper-endemic known only from Gunung Ledang, and 30 were recognised as new records. A comparison table of the current findings against Ridley (1901) and Turner (1995) is provided which shows only 16 species were the same in all three studies.

Soil biota is very diverse and contributes widely to ecosystem services that are important in the sustainable function of natural and managed ecosystems. Knowing the condition of the soil food web through the communities that inhabit it is necessary to assess the productivity of the soil. Nematode communities in the soil food web can be used as indicators because of their high abundance, and they inhabit various trophic levels, and participate in several important processes in the soil. The soil food web condition from three locations (Agr1, Agr2, Agr3) through the nematode functional index was evaluated using the maturity index (MI), the maturity index 2-5 (MI-25), the plant-parasitic index (PPI), the channel index (CI), the enrichment index (EI), the structure index (SI), and the basal index (BI). Nematode diversity was evaluated using Simpson’s index of diversity, dominance, and evenness. The MI and MI2-5 scores indicated that Agr3 (3.81) had an undisturbed food web, while Agr2 (2.88 and 3.0) and Agr1 (2.5 and 2.51) were in a moderate condition with minor disturbances. Fauna profile analysis using SI and EI shows that Agr3 and Agr1 had an undisturbed soil food web, and Agr2 was in enriched conditions. CI results found that Agr1 and Agr3 had a fungal decomposition pathway while Agr2 had a bacterial decomposition pathway. We concluded from this research, that prospect of the nematode community to serve as a collection of biological indicator data in assessing soil or ecosystem health can be considered in further research.

Photogrammetry technique is a method used for documentation of historical artifacts with measurements of archaeology for many years. Cultural heritage are common spiritual values of past and future generations. Documentation and preservation of historical monuments without damaging the natural texture are essential elements for their transfer to future generations. Cultural heritage documentation, using photogrammetric methods with the help of UAVs, increased possibilities for taking photos and therefore allows the work to be more comprehensive, reliable and realistic.This work was modeled using three different software with data from a thousand and one church UAVs reflecting medieval Byzantine art over Karabağ, which was considered a sacred center in the northern province of Karaman and also during the Hittites, and is thought to have been used as a Diocesan Center in ancient times. On 3D models produced using photogrammetric techniques with UAV, mxy=±3.01 cm in Agisoft Photoscan Professional software, MZ=±3.68 cm in height error, Mxy=±2.26 cm in Pix4D mapper Pro software, MZ=±1.15 cm in height error and mxy=±11.18 cm in Visual SFM-Meshlab software, MZ=±8.11 cm in height error. it was seen to be. Agisoft Photoscan Professional and Pix4D mapper Pro have concluded that location and height errors are acceptable in terms of Large Scale Map and Map Information Production Regulation.
