Viral hepatitis is now recognized as a major public health challenge that requires urgent response. They are also responsible for killing approximately 1.5 million people every year. The health care system in Yemen is fragile and cannot handle public health emergencies. Thus, this study aimed to determine the epidemiology of hepatitis A, E, B and C viruses in Hajjah governorate between 2020-2023, Yemen. This retrospective study was conducted in the Hajjah Governorate of Yemen for four years, 2020– 2023. About 41162 cases were collected from clinical records of epidemiological surveillance in the Public Health Office of the Hajjah governorate that documented between 2020– 2023. The required data were obtained and analyzed using SPSS. Out of 41162, 761 (1.85%) were positive for HAV and HEV, while 971 (2.36%) were positive for HBV and HCV. The highest rates of HAV and HEV were in 2022 (2.3%), whereas HBV and HC were in 2020 (2.9%). In addition, a higher rate of hepatitis HAV and HEV was detected among individuals from the Al Miftah district 116 (7.5%) in September 85 (2.6%), while HBV and HCV were higher in Hajjah city 579 (22.9%) and in October and November (2.8%). Additionally, all viral hepatitis cases were higher in the autumn. In spite of the low rate of hepatitis viruses observed in this study, these viruses will continue to pose a significant risk to public health. Therefore, enhancing sanitation practices, ensuring food safety, and promoting immunization are the most efficacious strategies for preventing hepatitis viruses.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major challenge to public health worldwide. Close contacts between susceptible family members and the index cases who live with HBV infection increase the rate intra-familial transmission of HBV. So our study aimed to determine the prevalence of HBV infection among family members of confirmed positive HBV patients and to identify the intra and extra-familial risk factors contributing for transmission of HBV infection among those members. Analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 family members who belong to the 14 index cases were included in this study, the average was 7.1(100/14) members. HBsAg in both index cases and family members was determined by using ELISA kit. Analysis of the data was performed by using SPSS (Version 21), the quantitative data were expressed as mean values, (SD) because the data was normal distributed. The qualitative data was expressed as percentages and χ2 test was used for comparison of two variables to determine the p- value where <0.05 was considered statistically significant. They were 50 (50 %) males with a total mean± SD of age were 25±15.9 years. The overall prevalence of HBV infection was 19 (19. 0%). The highest rates were 41.2% in age group 30—39 years, 22% males, 26.7% married, 19.4% among those family members who were in close contact with female index cases and 40% father relatives. A statistically significance association between HBV infection and age group 30—39 years (p=0.011). There were no positive cases was found among those members who were vaccinated against HBV and no significant association between HBV infection and either intra or extra risk factors among family members. It can be concluded that Intra-familial transmission of HBV infection was high among family member in Yemen. The highest prevalence was found in age group 30-39 years, males, married and among those family members who were in close contact with female index cases. The most frequent relatives with HBV infection were fathers, while a negative HBV cases was observed among mothers and wives and vaccinated members. There were no significant association between HBV infection and either intra or extra risk factors among family members.

Heavy metal compounds are commonly used as required industrial materials. Heavy metal ions are known to possess poisonous properties. Lead (II) ion is one of them; it is more toxic and carcinogenic. The contamination of water with Pb (II) may lead to kill people who drink it, in addition to harmful effects on plants and animals. Therefore, Pb (II) ions must be removed from the polluted water. In this work, an eco-friendly method was employed to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from silver nitrate and two separate plant extracts; leaves of Prosopis Juliflora and Mentha Piperita L. AgNPs were used to remove Pb (II) ions from aqueous solutions through the adsorption process. The synthesized AgNPs were identified by ultraviolet- visible (UV-Vis), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The diameters of formation nanoparticles were within the range of 8.06–11.5 and 8.02- 11.5 nm of AgNPs from Prosopis Juliflora, and AgNPs from Mentha Piperita L. extracts, respectively. During the adsorption process, the influence of adsorbent dose, Pb (II) ion concentration, and contact time in removing were studied at constant temperature and constant pH.

Authors: Siu Gek Khor , Kaur Harpaljit
Published: June 2024

Considering the rising cases of ASD among children, this paper aims to investigate the extent to which work-related factors have been examined in studies conducted on parents of children with ASD within the Southeast Asia (SEA) region. Using the PRISMA framework, a search was conducted on three databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science), yielding 38 studies that met the following inclusion criteria: (1) focusing on parents of ASD children, (2) conducted in the SEA region, and (3) articles, excluding systematic and meta-analyses. Of the 38 studies, 24 were from Malaysia, 9 from Singapore, 3 from the Philippines, 1 from Indonesia, and 1 from Vietnam. No articles were found for Brunei, Burma, Myanmar, Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Laos and Thailand. The focus, across the 38 studies, was primarily on the effects of the ASD child's therapies and interventions on parents, followed by parenting stress and quality of life (QOL). Employment-related factors were seen in sub-themes of five studies from Malaysia and Singapore. The review showed a limited focus on employment-related concerns amongst working parents with ASD children within the SEA region. The study's limitations include the lack of studies from other SEA countries such as Brunei, Burma, Myanmar, Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Laos, and Thailand. It is suggested that future research should focus on work-related factors for this underrepresented population while considering the roles of individual, gender, cultural, and religious factors.

Authors: Salihu, M. I.  , Habeeb, M. M.  , Ado, S. H.
Published: July 2024

Study’s Novelty/Excerpt

This study is novel in demonstrating the differential effects of cadmium (Cd) and selenium (Se) on Citrobacter freundii, specifically highlighting the mitigation of Cd toxicity by Se addition.
The research reveals that while Cd concentrations above 40 ppm hinder bacterial growth and significantly reduce protein content, Se addition alleviates these detrimental effects, reducing the protein content decline and antioxidant enzyme activities.
This work provides new insights into the interplay between heavy metal toxicity and antioxidant defenses in bacteria, suggesting potential biotechnological applications for managing Cd contamination.

Full Abstract
In this study, Citrobacter freundii (NRRL B-2643) bacteria were cultured in an LB medium with different cadmium (Cd) concentrations.  To mitigate the deleterious impact of Cd, varying quantities of selenium (Se), renowned for its antioxidative power, were added to the cadmium-containing growth medium.  Bacterial concentration, soluble protein, and activities of antioxidant enzymes (Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), Glutathione reductase (GSH-Red), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), and Catalase (CAT) were determined by spectrophotometer.  No significant microorganism growth was observed at 150 ppm and higher Cd concentrations.  However, the bacterial growth was not affected up to 40 ppm Cd concentration.  Bacteria were grown in media containing 0, 75, 100, and 125 ppm Cd, where the 0-ppm cadmium group served as control.  The protein content of the microorganism grown in the medium containing 75, 100, and 125 ppm Cd decreased about 21, 40, and 62 percent, respectively, compared to the control.  When 3.0 ppm selenium was added to the same growth medium, the percentage decrease in protein amount compared to the control was 12, 25, and 50, respectively.  Compared to the control, an increase in the antioxidant enzyme activities in bacteria grown in cadmium-containing media was observed (p<0.05).  With the addition of 1.0 and 3.0 ppm selenium to cadmium-containing media, a decrease was observed in the activities of antioxidant enzymes.

Full Abstract
Herbs are extensively consumed in Nigeria, for their medicinal properties and availability. This study aimed at determining the concentration of heavy metals residues in some selected traditional medicinal herbs consumed in Kano State, Nigeria. This is to assess their relative safety and potential health risks to local inhabitants based on the World Health Organization standard limit. A total of ten (10) powdered samples of medicinal preparations were purchased from local markets in Kano metropolis and analyzed for the presence of lead, chromium, cadmium, and mercury contents. The samples underwent digestion, and heavy metal concentrations were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). The metals found to be present varied in different concentrations in the herbal samples. The presence of heavy metal ranges as follows: 0.6-6.5mg/kg for chromium, 3.10-22.10mg/kg for lead, 0.08-0.60mg/kg for cadmium, and 0.09-0.30mg/kg for mercury. However, mercury content was not detected in some samples. The study's findings conclude that the lead (Pb) values were found to be the highest in concentration, exceeding the W.H.O limits in sample J, which is used as a remedy for cough. This indicates that the sample is highly contaminated compared to others. Mercury was not detected in four of the samples, and when present, it was below the limits set by the World Health Organization, making all the samples free from mercury contamination.

The phenomenological qualitative research method is the research method used in this research, the data collection method uses the interview method. Interviews were conducted with alumni who are also memorizers of the Al-Qur'an at the Amanatul Ummah Pacet Islamic Boarding School. The results of this research show that the success of memorizing the Al-Qur'an cannot be separated from the process of memorizing the Al-Qur'an. Every memorizer of the Qur'an or resource person must have different strategies and methods. They struggle to be able to complete memorizing up to 30 juz (khatam). Many of the alumni completed memorizing the Al-Qur'an when they were in grade 12. Until now, they are trying to maintain their memorization. Not only memorizing, they also maintain the memorization that has been memorized by murajaah or repeating the memorized verses until they are fluent and not easily lost. Apart from memorizing and murajaah, the way to ensure that memorization is not lost is to take care not to commit sins, for example, such as dating someone of the opposite gender.

Authors: Sidik Nadia Hanifah Sidik , Khusna Hikmatul
Published: June 2024

There is a phenomenon where students with moderate ability can achieve the highest rank in the class, while students with high intelligence often have difficulty or failure in their academic achievement. This suggests that students' abilities, no matter how high, will be limited if they are not able to self-regulate their learning. A descriptive qualitative research method was employed in this study, conducted in the XI MIPA class at a public high school in Bekasi. The research subjects were selected based on their SRL levels, categorized as high, medium, and low. Data were collected through interviews and CT tests, using data collection techniques such as observation, tests, and interviews. The results showed that students with high SRL levels excelled in all aspects of computational thinking assessment. Conversely, students with medium SRL levels only demonstrated abilities in three out of four indicators: decomposition, abstraction and generalization, and pattern recognition. Meanwhile, students with low SRL levels only showed abilities in one indicator, which was pattern recognition

This article aims to systematize the main risk factors for amblyopia in studies carried out in ophthalmic care centers. For this purpose, a documentary review of academic and scientific material was carried out. Two risk factors were identified, ocular type such as strabismus, myopia, isolated or combined astigmatism, refractive errors, and non-ocular such as prematurity, low birth weight, and maternal smoking. Risk factors are genetic risk factors, failure to detect and treat early, due to socio-environmental factors like poverty and lack of ophthalmic services, or extraordinary situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

A hazai közgazdász-tudóstársadalom publikációs stratégiája: különbségek és ellentmondások a közgazdaság-tudomány és a gazdálkodástudomány tudományágakban
Authors: Krajcsák Zoltán , Sasvári Péter , Bakacsi Gyula
Published: July 2024

A tudománymetriai fókuszú tanulmány a SciVal1 adatai alapján elemzi a gazdálkodás- és szervezéstudományok, illetve a közgazdaság-tudományok magyarországi kutatóinak publikációs eredményességeit. E tudományterületeken gyakran vegyes, a két területen összemosódó publikációs stratégiák rajzolódnak ki. Ennek az egyik oka az egységes MTA-folyóiratlista, a másik pedig a múlt gyakorlatának (hagyományok) tovább élése. A publikációs mintázatok nem képezik le tökéletesen a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia IX. Gazdaság- és Jogtudományok Osztályának két legnagyobb tudományos bizottságához való köztestületi hovatartozást. Legalábbis azok körében nem, akik köztestületi tagok, mert e két tudományág legjobb nemzetközi publikációs teljesítményét felmutatóknak mintegy harmada mindeddig nem csatlakozott az akadémiai hálózathoz. Az eredmények alapján megfontolandó lehet a két tudomány-terület élesebb szétválasztása például a doktori bizottságok szintjén is, valamint a közgazdász tudományágak képviselői számára világosabb publikációs stratégia felállítása. Azt is célszerű lenne elérni, hogy a köztestületi tagságot a fiatal, nemzetközi mércével jól teljesítő kollégák is kiemelkedő értéknek tekintsék, és csatlakozásukkal ezen a területen is hozzájáruljanak a szakterületük hazai fejlesztéséhez. A tanulmány a Külgazdaság által biztosított fórum kereteit felhasználva segítheti a hazai társadalomtudósok közötti szakmai és stratégiai párbeszédet.
