Authors: Fiecek Beata , Matławska Marta , Gołąb Elżbieta , Chmielewski Tomasz 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The fear of blood transfusion-borne infections has been a problem since the beginning of the blood therapy era. One of the phases of all infectious diseases, including those transmitted by ticks, is the incubation period, during which there are no clinical symptoms due to the presence of microorganisms in the blood. For this reason, blood drawn from an infected donor can be a potential source of infection for the recipient at this time. Literature data show that there are no documented reports of the possibility of transmitting B. burgdorferi infection (Lyme etiological factor) to healthy man by blood transfusion. However, cases of transfusions of such infections as babesiosis, anaplasmosis, rickettsiosis, and fever, bartonellosis have been reported. Tick-borne infections are not included in the criteria for permanent (except tularemia) or temporary disqualification for blood donor candidates and for contraindications for blood sampling. Tests for routine detection of tick-borne pathogens in blood therapy are also not used. Therefore, knowledge of the dynamics of the phases of these diseases, periods of infectivity and occurring in the blood in conjunction with medical history, physical examination and the results of auxiliary diagnostic tests are of fundamental importance for the safety of blood recipients.

Authors: Stój Anna 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The effect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast on the content of volatile compounds, ethanol, glycerol and volatile acidity of wines as well as the importance of inoculation with non-Saccharomyces and S. cerevisiae yeast for improving the aromatic complexity and characteristic features of wines were discussed in the paper. Moreover, the consequence of sequential inoculation of S. cerevisiae and lactic acid bacteria Oenococcus oeni on the content of volatile compounds, diacetyl, acetoine, volatile acidity, degradation of malic acid, content of diethyl succinate, ethyl lactate, biogenic amines was presented. The advantage of simultaneous inoculation, which is the reduction of fermentation time, was emphasized. The work highlights the role of indigenous strains of yeast and lactic acid bacteria in increasing the regional character of wines. The importance of enzymes produced by yeast and bacteria, as well as the increased interest in the ability of non-O. oeni species, such as Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, to perform malolactic fermentation were also discussed.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
Different leakage detection technologies present different efficiency and precision of leakage detection in water distribution systems due to their own properties. This study aimed to investigate the use of acoustic sensors to locate the exact position of leaks, which work 24 hours per day in different modes, i.e. fixed installation and mobile exploration. The results showed that the maximum distance between the acoustic sensors installed on the pipeline was 380 m. Field application results indicated that detecting threshold of the distance was 300 m and the intensity ratio of leaking state noise (LSN) to background noise was 1.9 respectively. The pipeline length by manual hunting area (MHA) is 1.3 times longer than the acoustic logger tested area (ALTA), but the detected leakage points in MHA is 20% less than in ALTA. Furthermore, the cost of leakage detection in MHA was about 6,000 yuan/detected leakage point. That in ALTA was about 2,500 yuan/detected leakage point. The case study also indicates that the acoustic logger is a promising tool with the advantage of lower cost and faster detection, compared to manual ground listening with a sound stick. The acoustic leakage detection method can detect the leakage in different sized pipelines, whereas the manual detection was concentrated in small-sized pipelines.

Published: June 2020

AbstractReduction of uncertainty in climate change projections is a major challenge in impact assessment and adaptation planning. General circulation models (GCMs) along with projection scenarios are the major sources of uncertainty in climate change projections. Therefore, the selection of appropriate GCMs for a region can significantly reduce uncertainty in climate projections. In this study, 20 GCMs were statistically evaluated in replicating the spatial pattern of monsoon propagation towards Peninsular Malaysia at annual and seasonal time frames against the 20th Century Reanalysis dataset. The performance evaluation metrics of the GCMs for different time frames were compromised using a state-of-art multi-criteria decision-making approach, compromise programming, for the selection of GCMs. Finally, the selected GCMs were interpolated to 0.25° × 0.25° spatial resolution and bias-corrected using the Asian Precipitation – Highly-Resolved Observational Integration Towards Evaluation (APHRODITE) rainfall as reference data. The results revealed the better performance of BCC-CSM1-1 and HadGEM2-ES in replicating the historical rainfall in Peninsular Malaysia. The bias-corrected projections of selected GCMs revealed a large variation of the mean, standard deviation and 95% percentile of daily rainfall in the study area for two futures, 2020–2059 and 2060–2099 compared to base climate.
A Hybrid Teaching Mode Based on Machine Learning Algorithm
Authors: Liang Jinjin , Nie Yong 
Published: June 2020

Background:
Hybrid teaching mode is a new trend under the Education Informatization environment, which combines the advantages of educators’ supervision offline and learners’ self-regulated learning online. Capturing learners’ learning behavior data becomes easy both from the traditional classroom and online platform.

Methods:
If machine learning algorithms can be applied to mine valuable information underneath those behavior data, it will provide scientific evidence and contribute to wise decision making as well as effective teaching process designing by educators.

Results:
This paper proposed a hybrid teaching mode utilizing machine learning algorithms, which uses clustering analysis to analyze the learner’s characteristics and introduces a support vector machine to predict future learning performance. The hybrid mode matches the predicted results to carry out the offline teaching process.

Conclusion:
Simulation results on about 356 students’ data on one specific course in a certain semester demonstrate that the proposed hybrid teaching mode performs very well by analyzing and predicting the learners’ performance with high accuracies.

Authors: Aloka Peter J.O. 
Published: June 2020

Background:Decision making is critical to each organization and it requires the ability to find a possible balance between risky and cautious decisions. The Kenyan secondary schools are mandated by the Ministry of Education to manage students’ misbehaviors by the disciplinary panels.Aim:The present study investigated the choice shifts in disciplinary decision making in Kenyan secondary schools based on age groups of the panel members.Methods:The Quasi-Experimental Pretest-Posttest Design was adopted. The study targeted 360 teachers- members of disciplinary panels in 45 secondary schools in the Rongo sub-county of Kenya. A sample size of 78 members of disciplinary panels in 10 secondary schools was involved. This was 22% of the target population of members of disciplinary panels in the Rongo district. The choice shift in decisions was ascertained using the Modified Choice Dilemma Questionnaire. The validity of the tools was ensured by the expert judgment by two Kenyan psychologists, while the reliability was determined using the internal consistency method and an alpha of 0.695 was reported.Results:The results of the Multivariate Analysis Of Variance indicated that there were differences in choice shifts from the pre to post-disciplinary hearing decisions among the members of selected school disciplinary panels on the basis of their age groups (Wilk’s Lambda (λ) test:F(12, 188) = 7.40,P =0.000,P< 0.05).Conclusion:It was concluded that the age of the members of disciplinary panels influenced the nature of choice shifts in decisions. It was recommended that principals should ensure that the membership of school disciplinary panels is broad-based.

Authors: Muaidi Qassim I. , Ahsan Mohammad 
Published: June 2020

Background:
Sleep is necessary for all living beings and plays a significant role in preventing health complications. Many health risks are associated with overweight and obesity. Association between sleep habits and anthropometric indices were investigated in this study.

Objective:
The objective of this study was to determine gender-specific associations of different anthropometric indices with sleep quality and daytime sleepiness.

Methods:
This cross-sectional study involved 550 males and females. Anthropometric indices measured with the help of a bioelectric impedance device. The Pittsburgh sleeps quality index was used to evaluate sleep quality over a one-month period, and the Epworth sleepiness scale was used to measure the level of daytime sleepiness. Kruskal-Wallis test was applied for comparative analysis, and Spearman correlation was also used to assess the relationship among all variables.

Results:
A negative correlation identified between the percentage of body fat with sleep quality and daytime sleepiness and other anthropometric indices has a low positive correlation, but not significant for sleep quality and daytime sleepiness. While females have a negative correlation for daytime sleepiness and a significant difference among anthropometric indices for sleep quality and daytime sleepiness was evident. A higher percentage of body fat was found among female participants.

Conclusion:
This study has highlighted the prevalence of obesity with multiple anthropometric indices. Such studies could help evaluate the role of anthropometric indices in predicting the quality of sleep and daytime sleepiness in male and female participants.
To Tell or Not to Tell: Disclosure and Self-Management among Adults with Early-Onset Type 2 Diabetes: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Nielsen Maja Hykkelbjerg , Jensen Annesofie Lunde , Bo Anne , Maindal Helle Terkildsen 
Published: June 2020

Background:
Adults with early-onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) are an emerging high-risk population who may experience social challenges related to diabetes management.

Objective:
To explore the disclosure of T2DM and how disclosure affects diabetes self-management and the psychosocial adjustment to life with diabetes among adults with early-onset T2DM.

Methods:
A qualitative study was conducted using Systematic Text Condensation (STC). Data was derived from semi-structured interviews with 15 individuals with T2DM ≤ 46 years (10 women and 5 men) recruited from diverse settings using purposeful sampling.

Results:
Most informants disclosed their diabetes to a close relative shortly after receiving the diagnosis. This led to immediate emotional support and overall positive disclosure experiences. However, informants often hesitated to disclose their condition to others due to shame, fear of negative judgement or social exclusion. Over time, the majority of informants became more open about their condition, which often resulted in emotional and practical self-management support. Those most reluctant to disclosing their diabetes struggled with shame and negative diabetes-related emotions, which had negative effects on their diabetes self-management.

Conclusion:
Disclosure of T2DM seemed important for the social, emotional and practical management of diabetes among adults with early-onset T2DM. The disclosure was most often accompanied by feelings of shame and fear of condemnation. Professional guidance to support disclosure and interventions to address stigma may improve well-being and diabetes self-management in this population.

Background:
Marine sponges provided a great source of natural products with promising
biological activity. This study was aimed to investigate the chemical constituents of methanol extracts
of selected Indonesian marine sponges (Callyspongia sp., Clathria sp., Melophlus sarasinorum,
and Xestospongia sp.), collected from the Saponda Islands, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia as
well as to evaluate their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Methods:
LCMS/MS analysis used to identify the compounds. Agar well diffusion and DPPH
assays were used to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Results:
Chemical screening reported alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, and saponins from all investigated
sponges. The LC-MS/MS analysis identified various compounds which mainly contained steroids.
Antimicrobial activity (against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, and
Candida albicans) was only shown by the Xestospongia sp. extract. Meanwhile, extracts of M.
sarasinorum, Xestospongia sp., and Callyspongia sp. exhibited potent radical scavenging activity.

Conclusion:
The study concluded that the selected sponges could provide various groups of
compounds. Methanol extracts of these sponges could be used as sources of antimicrobial and
antioxidant agents.

Authors: Zisman Anna L. , Coe Fredric L. , Cohen Andrew J. , Riedinger Christopher B. , Worcester Elaine M. 
Published: June 2020

Background and objectives
Incidence of kidney stone disease is rising. It is not known whether mechanisms of stone formation differ across racial groups. Our objective was to identify differing lithogenic risk factors across racial groups in idiopathic nephrolithiasis.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
We conducted a retrospective cohort study evaluating metabolic risk factors in black and age-matched white idiopathic stone formers at our tertiary referral center. We compared serum and urine metabolic risk factors pre- and post-treatment across racial groups using analysis of covariance. Generalized linear modeling was used to build regression models for risk of stone formation in both groups.

Results
Among 117 black and 172 white stone formers, urine volume was lower in black stone formers (1.4±0.8 versus 2.0±0.8 L/d, P<0.001). Urine calcium was lower in black stone formers (116±70 versus 217±115 mg/d, P<0.001). Supersaturations for calcium oxalate were similar among the groups, whereas calcium phosphate supersaturation was higher in white stone formers, and uric acid supersaturation was higher in black stone formers. Electrolyte free water clearance was significantly lower in black stone formers (207±780 versus 435±759 ml/d, P=0.02). In the subgroup of 77 black patients and 107 white patients with post-treatment evaluations, urine volume rose significantly and similarly in both groups. Urine sodium was unchanged in whites but increased in blacks by 40 mmol/d (95% confidence interval, 32 to 48 mmol/d). Electrolyte free water clearance remained lower in black stone formers (385±891 versus 706±893 ml/d, P=0.02). Post-treatment supersaturations were similar across the groups except for calcium phosphate, which improved with treatment in whites.

Conclusions
Black stone formers have lower 24-hour urine calcium excretion and urine volume. Increases in urine volume with treatment were associated with increased solute, but not free water, excretion in black stone formers.

Diare masih menjadi masalah global dengan derajat kesakitan dan kematian yang tinggi di berbagai negara. Diare dapat menyerang wisatawan yang mengunjungi objek wisata di kawasan negara berkembang, termasuk Indonesia. Salah satu penyebab diare wisatawan adalah bakteri Escherichia coli pathogen yang memiliki gen penyandi protein transport yang berperan dalam patogenesis diare.Â Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisolasi dan mengkarakterisasi gen penyandi protein transport sebagai kandidat vaksin subunit terhadap E. coli penyebab diare wisatawan.. Pengambilan sampel feses dilakukan di Ubud Care Clinic pada wisatawan yang melakukan pemeriksaan diare. Sampel dikultur pada media Eosin Metilen Blue, koloni tersangka kemudian diuji biokimia untuk mengkonfirmasi jenis bakteri yang ditemukan. Isolat positif E.coli selanjutnya disubkultur pada media Nutriet Broth, kemudian DNA E.coli diisolasi dengan GeneJET Genomic DNA Purification Kit. DNA hasil isolasi selanjutnya digunakan sebagai template reaksi PCR menggunakan pasangan primer yang mengenali gen aidA penyandi protein transport pada E.coli. Berdasarkan hasil kultur pada media EMB dan hasil uji biokimia pada media TSIA, SIM, Simon Citrat dan uji gula-gula didapatkan sebanyak 20 (59 %) dari 34 sampel feses penderita diare wisatawan positif bakteri E. coli. DNA dari 20 isolat E.coli berhasil diisolasi dengan ukuran sekitar 12000-13000 bp. Hasil PCR dari 20 sampel DNA bakteri E. coli terdapat 5 sampel positif mengandung gen aidA yang ditunjukkan dengan adanya pita DNA tunggal dengan ukuran sekitar 585 bp. Keberadaan gen aidA yang menyandi protein transport menunjukkan sifat patogenitas, yang membedakan antara E.coli pathogen dengan E.coli non-patogen
