Authors: Kazim Noor A. , Lilo Kareem M. , Ibraheem Shaima R. , Saleh Yaqoob A. , Shabeeb Sally B.
Published: February 2023

The aim: Infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) caused by blood transfusion is a big problem throughout the world. The aim of study is to determine the faster and more accurate methods for detection of hepatitis B infections by serological screening and PCR- amplification.
Materials and methods: A total of 140528 donors were tested for HBsAg and total anti-HBc from January to October 2021 in Iraq’s National Blood Transfusion Center; however, only 100 samples with HBsAg (-) and anti-HBc (+) were collected and tested for HBV DNA using quantitative real-time PCR.
Results: From 2015 to 2021, the percentage of HBsAg positive donors was 0.33 percent in 2015, 0.32 percent in 2016, 0.30 percent in 2017, 0.28 percent in 2018, 0.23 percent in 2019, 0.22 percent in 2020, and 0.27 percent in 2021. Between January and October of 2021, the overall anti-HBc rate among the (140528) donors was 4.42 percent. According to our findings, only 7% of blood samples from NBTC donors with HBsAg (-) anti-HBc (+) were positive for HBV DNA. The results showed no significant change in HBs Ag (+) and total anti-HBc rates among blood donors between 2015 and 2021.
Conclusions: HBV infection could be transmitted from a blood donor with OBI. PCR (RT PCR) is substantially more sensitive and effective. Despite this the use of an anti-HBc test for blood donors could be seen as a second choice to control HBV from spreading during blood transfusions.

Authors: Husiev Viacheslav M. , Khapchenkova Daria S. , Dubyna Serhii O. , Bondarenko Stanislav V.
Published: February 2023

The aim: To define morphological and immunohistochemical signs of placental disorders of women after syphilitic infection.
Materials and methods: The prospective study of 60 pregnant women with history of syphilitic infection (main group) and 57 pregnant patients without syphilis (control group) was conducted. The morphological and immunohistochemical study of the afterbirth was performed.
Results: In the placentas of women of the main group the following phenomena were found out: circulatory disorders in the form of hemorrhages into the intervillous space and the stroma of villi; accumulation of fibrinoid around villi with dystrophically altered stroma, compensatory-adaptive reactions resulted in hyperplasia of terminal villi and vessels in them, which provoked narrowing of the intervillous space and disruption of blood supply in it. Pathogenic immune complexes containing Ig G, M and C3 of the complement fraction were located in the central part of the placenta – 45.00% of cases, 16.67% – in the regional, 8.33% – in both parts. Immune complexes with Ig M content occurred in 38.33% of cases. The content of pathogenic immune complexes was the most concentrated in the placentas of women with latent forms and secondary recurrent syphilis – 60.00% of cases.
Conclusions: changes in morphohistological and immunohistochemical examination of the placenta of this group of women confirmed the detrimental effect of syphilitic infection in the anamnesis on the structure of placenta during the next pregnancies.

Geopolitical and geostrategic situation of Lithuania in the context of the foreign policy of the Russian Federation - with an outlook to 2019
Authors: Wojnarowska-Szpucha Sylwia
Published: February 2023

Objectives

This paper discusses the problems faced by Lithuania in its current geopolitical and geostrategic situation, as a post-Soviet state that has fairly recently joined the structures of the European Union and NATO. As one of the Baltic States with a relatively small territory and without significant natural resources, it must rely on cooperation with other states and the trade exchange, mainly with the Russian Federation.
Lithuania is a small state, which - seemingly - would be capable of pursuing only regional politics, not geopolitics in the strategic sense.

Methods

analysys, inference, reductive reasoning, SWOT analysis

Results

The conducted analysis and rational assessment of Lithuania's geopolitical and geostrategic problems shows that it is increasingly difficult to predict the direction in which the broadly defined policy and strategy of the country will develop in the 21st century and in the far future.

Conclusions

Based on the consideration presented in this paper, it can be concluded that Lithuania, as a member of the European Union and NATO, does not have its own geopolitics and geostrategy, as it is still dependent on the policy of the Russian Federation. This dependence is, to a large extent, due to its geographical location in the Baltic region, through which important communication and transport routes from the Russian Federation to Central and Western Europe run. In addition, almost 6 per cent of Lithuania's population are Russians, in relation to whom the Russian government pursues its own demographic policy by indoctrinating them in Russian schools and universities.

Authors: Fendy Wellen  , Tan Sukmawati Tansil , Yohanes Firmansyah  , Hendsun Hendsun
Published: February 2023

Background: UV exposure causes physical and chemical damage. UV causes damage to the skin barrier physically due to the heating process. Meanwhile, chemically, UV causes the formation of oxidants which are responsible for the process of oxidative stress. Damage to skin cells causes loss of the body's natural barrier against various threats from microorganisms. Propionibacterium acnes is one of the commensal bacteria on the skin, which will produce products in the form of porphyrins. This study aimed to determine the correlation between UV-induced skin damage and porphyrin levels in SMA Kalam Kudus II Jakarta, Indonesia.

Methods: This study was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 92 research subjects who were students of SMA Kalam Kudus II Jakarta, Indonesia, participated in this study. Facial skin porphyrin levels and levels of facial skin damage due to sun exposure (UV damage proportion) as measured by a skin analyzer. UV damage and porphyrin assessments according to the T Zone and V Zone regions and obtained the average results from the 3 regions. Correlation analysis was performed with the help of SPSS software.

Results: The higher the percentage of skin damage due to UV correlated positively with the higher the percentage of porphyrin levels, with a value of r = 0.529.

Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between UV-induced skin damage and porphyrin levels in students of SMA Kalam Kudus II Jakarta, Indonesia.
Pastoralism and the Struggle for Survival in Laikipia
Authors: Wanjiku Jacqueline , Tarus Isaac , Nyakwaka Dorothy
Published: February 2023

This article is about the unceasing ethnic conflicts in Laikipia West constituency, Laikipia county. The interethnic conflict has continued to be witnessed between Kenya and its neighbouring countries since the colonial era to date in Kenya, mainly in the arid and semiarid areas amongst pastoral communities. Laikipia West constituency has been experiencing perennial conflicts that have been worsening over time. The conflicts have often led to the disruption of social and economic activities and people migrating from their residential areas in search of safer places to settle in. Ethnic conflicts in the constituency can be traced back to 1895 when the white settlers began establishing their homes in Laikipia county. Prior to British colonial rule, the area in Laikipia was under pastoralism by the Maasai and Samburu communities. With the coming of the colonialists, most of the lands were seized and the pastoral communities living in these areas were displaced. Some immigrants resulted in establishing ranches, while other immigrants resulted in irrigation systems leading to the horticultural boom in Laikipia in the 1980s. The first part of this article will seek to unearth the root causes of inter-ethnic conflict in Laikipia, while the effects of the perennial conflicts are examined in the later part. This study employed the conflict theory by Marx, which purports that the existence of different social classes is the continuous source of inevitable conflict and change in the social structure occurring through political upheavals affecting class composition.
Prophetic Law-based Land Bank Policy Reformulation in Indonesia
Authors: Absori Absori , Bangsawan Mohammad Indra , Budiono Arief , Diarti Dewi Kusuma
Published: February 2023

In regulating the land bank policy, Indonesia refers to Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation and Presidential Regulation Number 64 of 2021 concerning Land Bank Agency. These two laws regulate all general technical requirements required by investors. This study aims to: 1) Describe the land bank legal policy after the legalization of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation; 2). Formulate a land bank policy based on prophetic values which integrate the positive law and religious values. This is normative legal research which used secondary data and library materials as the main data sources. It used the philosophical juridical approach: the juridical approach was in the form of legislation (statute approach) and the philosophical approach was in the form of the prophetic ethical paradigm through ash-Asyatibi’s Maqasid al-Syari’ah (the purpose behind Islamic laws). The data analysis was divided into two. The first was the descriptive-qualitative analysis by describing land bank policies after the enactment of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation. While in the second problem formulation, because the main objective was to find the concept of land bank policy based on prophetic ethics, the authors conducted critical and predictive analyses. Land bank policies have various advantages and disadvantages. With these weaknesses and strengths, a new land bank policy was formulated, which was predicted to be able to guarantee equitable land distribution and wise management of land tenure.

Authors: Ahmed Md Tanzim , Sarma Manash Pratim , Mastorakis Nikos E
Published: February 2023

ith the advent of recent standard of high data rate communication standards, the systems need to meet the requirement of multi-frequency processing. Moreover to achieve backward and forward compatibility across communication standards, reconfigurable and tunable designs are preferred. This paper proposes a fully digital reconfigurable all pass filter (APF) with a tunable passband to meet such requirements. The reconfigurable APF is capable of band tuning using a digital current control source (DCCS) which uses a digital word count making it most effective and simple reconfigurable design than the already reported designs. This can be widely used in different systems, e.g., 5G receivers, radar communication, cyber security, sensor interfaces, etc. This APF is also connected to Schmitt trigger inverter for smooth communication. Moreover, the circuit is designed to be inductor less thus making the design area efficient and suitable for wide range of applications and systems. The proposed design is simulated using 65 nm GPDK CMOS technology that achieves a wideband range of 0.1-15 GHz and achieves a bandwidth of 12.6 GHz with a gain of 15.5dB with a time delay of 1.62ps. The static power consumption of the circuit is only 2.52mW.

PERANCANGAN JOB PROFILE BERBASIS SPREADSHEETS
Authors: Surya Marco Hadi , Dewantoro Albertus Daru
Published: February 2023

The most important asset a company needs is the role of humans. Without the human role, the company will not run as it should. Human resource management will be easy if it has rules. Rules and objectives will be given each entry into the organization for the first time. Therefore, using a Job Profile will provide responsibilities that should be owned by every employee so that work goals are clear and focused. PT X already has a Job Profile but it's still not as expected. All data is still done manually with the help of Ms Word. The research method used is a case study exploratory research. Primary data was collected by interviewing the recruitment and HRD. The secondary data obtained is the existing Job Profile at PT X, namely in the form of soft files and hard files. The results of this study will make it easier for recruitment parties to create Job Profiles automatically using spreadsheets. There are limitations to be used as report material because the Job Profile is confidential data owned by the company. Topics that can be used as reports are Job Title, Job Description, Job Specification, and Job Competency.

Discrepancy is the difference in the number of stock spare parts between the actual number and the

amount of stock in the system. PT. MI experienced discrepancy problems, especially in the spare

part warehouse. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors causing the difference in the

number of goods in the warehouse between the physical and the system and provide solutions in

the form of efforts to minimize the data discrepancy. The research method uses DMAIC (Define,

Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) with fishbone diagram analysis techniques. From the

measure stage with the p control chart, it is known that there are still many that are outside the

UCL and LCL limits. In the analysis stage, use a fishbone diagram to analyze the causes and

effects of the problem. From the results of the analysis there are 3 factors that influence the

problem, namely the human factor, methods, and work environment. At the improve stage, several

attempts are given to the problems that have been analyzed.

Chimpanzee communities differ in their inter- and intrasexual social relationships
Authors: Rawlings Bruce S. , van Leeuwen Edwin J. C. , Davila-Ross Marina
Published: February 2023

Male and female human social bonding strategies are culturally shaped, in addition to being genetically rooted. Investigating nonhuman primate bonding strategies across sex groups allows researchers to assess whether, as with humans, they are shaped by the social environment or whether they are genetically predisposed. Studies of wild chimpanzees show that in some communities males have strong bonds with other males, whereas in others, females form particularly strong intrasex bonds, potentially indicative of cultural differences across populations. However, excluding genetic or ecological explanations when comparing different wild populations is difficult. Here, we applied social network analysis to examine male and female social bonds in two neighbouring semiwild chimpanzee groups of comparable ecological conditions and subspecies compositions, but that differ in demographic makeup. Results showed differences in bonding strategies across the two groups. While female–female party co-residence patterns were significantly stronger in Group 1 (which had an even distribution of males and females) than in Group 2 (which had a higher proportion of females than males), there were no such differences for male–male or male–female associations. Conversely, female–female grooming bonds were stronger in Group 2 than in Group 1. We also found that, in line with captive studies but contrasting research with wild chimpanzees, maternal kinship strongly predicted proximity and grooming patterns across the groups. Our findings suggest that, as with humans, male and female chimpanzee social bonds are influenced by the specific social group they live in, rather than predisposed sex-based bonding strategies.

Graphical Abstract
Exergy Analysis
Authors: Chauhan Tejasvi , Gaur Vinod
Published: February 2023

This paper argues for a continuing exploration of Nature’s organizing principles that sustain prolonged homeostasis of the earth’s ecosystems punctuated by forceful transitions to new emergent states. Ecosystems develop and maintain a dynamically stable state by transacting energy and materials with the surrounding flows to keep reversing their continual fall to the ground state. Conversely, the elevation of any component of the ecosystem above the ground level may be regarded as a measure of its functional efficiency. This measure, called exergy, can be calculated for an eco-subsystem based on knowledge of the energy and material fluxes that thread it and, most importantly, of where the ground level happens to be. Admittedly, it is not straightforward to quantify these figures, and the departure of assumptions from reality will inevitably translate into errors in the calculated exergy figures. However, the variance may be estimated by analysing the results of an ensemble...

The usefulness of ecotoxicological approaches to assess environmental impacts caused by oil spills
Authors: Abessa Denis Moledo de Souza
Published: February 2023

Accidents involving oil spills have a high potential to cause catastrophic environmental impacts. However, the Brazilian legislation and guidelines to plan and determine response actions in case of oil accidents are vague and generally do not include the assessment of toxic effects of oil on the exposed biota and ecosystems. Therefore, such actions are unable to adequately assess the environmental effects of oil in the short, medium and long terms. Ecotoxicological methods consist of cost-effective and robust alternatives to identify and quantify the effects of oil on the exposed ecosystems. Such approaches should be incorporated into response actions in episodes of oil spills in aquatic environments.
