AbstractChromosome level assemblies are accumulating in various taxonomic groups including mosquitoes. However, even in the few reference-quality mosquito assemblies, a significant portion of the heterochromatic regions including telomeres remain unresolved. Here we produce a de novo assembly of the New World malaria mosquito, Anopheles albimanus by integrating Oxford Nanopore sequencing, Illumina, Hi-C and optical mapping. This 172.6 Mbps female assembly, which we call AalbS3, is obtained by scaffolding polished large contigs (contig N50 = 13.7 Mbps) into three chromosomes. All chromosome arms end with telomeric repeats, which is the first in mosquito assemblies and represents a significant step toward the completion of a genome assembly. These telomeres consist of tandem repeats of a novel 30-32 bp Telomeric Repeat Unit (TRU) and are confirmed by analyzing the termini of long reads and through both chromosomal in situ hybridization and a Bal31 sensitivity assay. The AalbS3 assembly included previously uncharacterized centromeric and rDNA clusters and more than doubled the content of transposable elements and other repetitive sequences. This telomere-to-telomere assembly, although still containing gaps, represents a significant step toward resolving biologically important but previously hidden genomic components. The comparison of different scaffolding methods will also inform future efforts to obtain reference-quality genomes for other mosquito species.

The purpose of this research was to test the effect of educative games on children' physical fitness in Kindergarten. This research was conducted based on the empirical findings that show that the number of children in Kindergarten experienced excessive fatigue after doing activities. Besides the children body mass index, many indicators are included in the category of obesity. The one that causes the phenomenon is the low physical fitness of the children. The problem demands a learning approach or method to handle it without causing excessive fatigue on children. This research was conducted by using the quasi experimental method. The subjects in this study were 30 Kindergarten children in Sukasari Sub-district, Bandung. The results showed p 0.05 which means that there was a significant difference in physical fitness between the control class and the experimental class in post-test with an average score 3.26 for control group, and 6.67 for the experimental group. The results of validation and empirical data showed that learning educational game model gives a significant influence on the physical fitness of Kindergarten children. The learning process was also more enjoyable and engaging. Thus, learning with educative game methods can be considered as an alternative for learning to improve the children physical fitness. This research recommendation is addressed to Kindergarten teachers, Kindergarten school principals, and further researchers.

Published: September 2020

Tarsorrhaphy has always been advised for management of persistent epithelial defects, but it is losing it’s importance in present era.It was a prospective interventional study. Twenty-one patients of persistent epithelial defects presented over a period of two years at a tertiary hospital. They underwent tarsorrhaphy, along with medical management. All patients were followed up for a minimum period of two months.Eighty-five percent of patients with PED resolved with tarsorrhaphy alone. Rest three patients which failed to heal, underwent amniotic membrane transplantation at 4 week as add-on procedure, following which they resolved.Tarsorrhaphy helps in healing of PED by decreasing the interpalpebral fissure and retaining the tears and medicines in cul-de-sac. It also decreases the windshield wiper effect of eyelid margins. Conclusion: Tarsorrhaphy should always be considered as first modality for treating the PED.

To estimate the efficacy of probing as a treatment option in earliest cases(early catarrhal stage) of epiphora with no discharge due to nasolacrimal duct obstruction.An observational clinical study was performed on 25 patients with earliest cases of epiphora with no discharge. Under aseptic precautions along with adequate topical and nasal anaesthesia probing was performed in both upper and lower canaliculi, it was considered successful when epiphora was reduced to a considerable level or had resolved with patent lacrimal system for atleast 6 months after syringing.14 women and 11 men with age group of 18 to 45 years with complains of epiphora for about 1 year were included in our study. 23 patients had nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) and 2 patients were post dacrocystorhinostomy (DCR).Complete patency was attained in 23 cases and 2 cases required surgical intervention. Treatment was successful in 92% cases.Probing is simple, safe, cost effective, patient satisfactory, quick and easy day care procedure with low intra and post procedural morbidity. Probing can avoid need of nasolacrimal surgeries and hence can be used as a treatment modality in earliest cases of epiphora with no discharge.
The Settlement of Sharia Banking Dispute based on Legal Culture as a Practice of Indonesian Islamic Moderation
Authors: Hariyanto Erie 
Published: September 2020

Islamic banking and religious courts have a very close-knit network. Both Islamic banking serving as Islamic financial intermediation institution and religious courts as special courts with authority to resolve the dispute of Islamic banking similarly stressed on applying the sharia principles in the operation. They are expected to sinergically rely on sharia principles. The philosophical basic of religious courts’ authority in dispute settlement of shariah banking is to create a harmony between the execution of contract and material law based on the principles of sharia with religious courts as an institutiton for Moslem justice-seekers so that the disputes can be resolved wholly (kafa’ah) and consistently (istiqomah) through court rulings upholding the culture of law. The meeting of values of sharia and culture living in society produces harmony in terms of Islamic banking dispute settlement. (Keberadaan Perbankan Syariah dan Peradilan Agama memiliki keterkaitan yang sangat erat. Perbankan Syariah sebagai lembaga intermediasi keuangan syariah dan Peradilan Agama sebagai lembaga peradilan khusus yang mempunyai kewenangan ablosut menyelesaikan sengketa perbankan syariah sama-sama menekankan menerapkan prinsip-prinsip syariah dalam operasionalnya. Perbankan Syariah dan peradilan agama diharapkan dapat bersinergis dengan berpegang pada prinsip syariah. Dasar filosofis Kewenangan Peradilan Agama dalam Penyelesaian sengketa perbankan syari’ah adalah agar terciptanya keselarasan antara pelaksanaan akad dan hukum materiil yang berlandaskan prinsip-prinsip syariah dengan lembaga peradilan agama yang memang merupakan wadah bagi pencari keadilan yang beragama islam sehingga sengketa perbankan syariah dapat diselesaikan secara kafaah dan istiqomah melalui putusan pengadilan yang mengedepankan budaya hukum. Pertemuan nilai syariah dan budaya yang hidup dalam masyarakat menghasilkan harmoni dalam penyelesaian sengketa perbankan syariah)
Jovens indígenas e o ensino superior em Mato Grosso do Sul: desafios e perspectivas na busca por autonomia e respeito à diversidade
Authors: Urquiza Antonio Hilario Aguilera , Nascimento Adir Casaro , Espíndola Michely Aline Jorge 
Published: September 2020

O texto trata do ensino superior como novo elemento na luta por autonomia e construção de políticas de sustentabilidade dos povos indígenas de Mato Grosso do Sul. A academia passa a ser entendida por esses jovens e suas respectivas comunidades, como espaço privilegiado de diálogo e negociação entre lógicas e formas distintas de entender o ser humano e suas relações com a natureza. Por ser o território aquele que proporciona as condições necessárias a sua reprodução social, podemos entender que sustentabilidade diz respeito à dinâmica interna de trocas, em um sistema social específico, com seus padrões de qualidade de vida, incluindo conhecimentos e experiências específicas, atualizadas em um contexto de rápidas mudanças. É nesse contexto, de rápidas mudanças,inéditos desafios e complexos processos de negociação, que está inserida a universidade, percebida como espaço privilegiado de diálogos, trocas e bricolagens, favorecendo traduções e hibridismos na perspectiva intercultural e que pode fortalecer seus processos de autonomia. Esse espaço de fronteira tem possibilitado o surgimento de elementos epistemológicos, até então subalternos, promovendo reflexões teórico-metodológicas que muito têm contribuído para o desenvolvimento de novas práticas pedagógicas e estratégias de sustentabilidade, muitas vezes limitadas, porém que tentam ser coerentes com as perspectivas de futuro de cada grupo social. A base empírica deste trabalho é a experiência com acadêmicos(as) indígenas em quatro IES que desenvolvem atividades específicas com este seguimento: UFGD (Licenciatura Indígena), UFMS, UEMS e UCDB, todas ligadas ao Programa Rede de Saberes.

Special Issue on Value Creation in Production
Authors: Kaihara Toshiya , Nishino Nariaki 
Published: September 2020

With the recent development of new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and cloud-based systems, the smart manufacturing concept based on ICT or AI is expected to have tremendous potential to realize a digital transformation with customer involvement in production. The role of production will need to change accordingly, as it is obvious that the traditional business model based on process chains for production functionality has limitations for further growth. In production, it is necessary to consider value chains with service factors for adding innovative value to products. Value creation is an important concept to the realization of a sustainable ecosystem in production.
This special issue addresses the latest research on value creation in production and service systems. Including ten advanced research papers and one development report, it covers a wide range of topics, including smart factories, logistics, distribution with value chains; product service systems; sustainable ecosystems with value in production and service industries; the sharing economy in production systems with cloud computing; the application of digital transformations in production and service systems.
All papers and reports were refereed through careful peer reviews with experts. The editors deeply appreciate the authors for their careful work and the reviewers for their invaluable efforts, without which this special issue would not have been possible. Finally, we hope this special issue provides valuable information to our interested readers and encourages further research on value creation in production.

Abstract
Background: A biobank is a structure which collects and manages biological samples and their associated data. The collected samples will then be made available for various uses. The sharing of those samples raised ethical questions which have been answered through specific rules. Thus, a Biobank functioning under tight ethical rules would be immensely valuable from a scientific and an economic view point. In 2009, Côte d'Ivoire established a biobank, which has been chosen to house the regional biobank of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries in 2018. To ensure optimal and efficient use of this biobank, the scientific community must be aware of its existence and its role. It was therefore necessary to evaluate the knowledge of laboratories staff on the role and activities of a biobank.Methods: This descriptive study was done by questioning staff from laboratories working on human’s health, animals or plants. The laboratories were located in southern Côte d'Ivoire. Results: A total of 205 people completed the questionnaire. Of these 205 people, 34.63% were biologists, 7.32% engineers, 48.78% technicians and 9.27% PhD students. The average length of work experience was 10.11 ± 7.83 years. In this study, 43.41% of the participants had never heard of biobanking. Only 48.78% of participants had a good understanding of the role of a biobank. Technicians and PhD students were less educated on the notion of biobank (p<0.000001). Although biologists were more educated on this issue, 21.13% of them had a misconception of biobank. Good knowledge of the role of a biobank was not significantly related to the work experience’s length (p>0.88). Conclusion: The level of knowledge of laboratory staff about biobanking needs to be improved. Training on the role, activities and interests of the biobank is important.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background: Total hip and total knee arthroplasties are among the most common types of surgery performed in Australia today and are effective treatments for severe osteoarthritis. However, the increasing financial burden on the health system owing to the increasing rates of surgery has led to a growing interest in improving the cost-effectiveness and safety of arthroplasty care. This study was designed to quantify the association between post-operative complications, a major cost driver, and the cost of investigations following total hip or knee arthroplasty.Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing primary total hip or knee arthroplasty at an Australian public hospital. We measured the number and cost of imaging and pathology tests performed during the acute hospital stay and used linear regression to quantify the association between complication status and investigation costs. Results: Five hundred patients were included in the analysis. On average, those with complications received more tests, and more expensive tests. The mean combined cost of imaging and pathology tests in patients with no complications was AU$ 187 (SD: 12.0). In comparison, patients with minor complications had a mean additional cost of AU$ 270 (SD: 31.0), and those with major complications had a mean additional cost of AU$ 493 (SD: 54.2) (p<0.001).Conclusions: In patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty, investigation costs are substantially greater in the presence of either minor or major complications. With growing volumes of total hip and total knee arthroplasties, a potential focus of future research could include optimising investigation practices for patients with and without complications.
Efficacy of the Manchester Short Splint versus traditional dorsal splint for rehabilitation of Zone II flexor tendon repairs: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Lees Vivien , O'Brien Denise , Redvers-Chubb Karen 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background: A previously reported audit of use of the Manchester Short Splint versus the traditional dorsal forearm-based splint for rehabilitation of zone II flexor tendon repairs suggested that patient outcomes were enhanced by use of Manchester Short Splint. Specifically, there was less flexion contracture at the proximal interphalangeal joints at 6 and 12 weeks with greater final range of motion (Strickland assessment). Importantly, there was no evidence of excess tendon ruptures complicating use of the new splint. Methods: The present study is designed as a single-centre randomized controlled trial to compare the two splints [Clinical Evidence Level 2 as patient and treating therapists are aware of which splint is in use. Surgery is standardized with respect to the type of repair used. Inclusion criteria for the trial include single finger flexor tendon injury of zone II with up to one but not two simultaneous digital nerve injuries operated on within 4 days of the injury date. Exclusions include children, more complex injuries, those unable to give consent or otherwise co-operate with the trial protocol. Patients are recruited at their first hand therapy visit having been provided with information about the trial by one of the Site Investigators during their hospital admission. The consenting patient is randomized into one of two splint groups. Assessments recorded in the Case Report Form include range of joint motion (Strickland), PROMs (Quick Dash), visual analogue pain scales, tendon rupture event and need for further surgical intervention. Data is captured weekly for first 6 weeks and again at 12 weeks. At 12 weeks grip strength and fatigue of grip strength are also measured. Discussion: The present study aims to determine the efficacy of the short splint versus the traditional splint in rehabilitation of Zone II flexor tendon repair. Our earlier published audit on the potential advantages of the short splint generated considerable interest internationally with numbers of hand therapy departments adopting the short splint in the absence of more substantive evidence. Clearly it is desirable that such evidence is forthcoming and the present study seeks to provide such evidence and inform development of a multi-centre study.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background: Emergency department (ED) visits among older adults are common near the end of life. Palliative care has been shown to reduce ED visits and to increase quality of life among patients, but recruitment into these programs is often challenging. Methods: Research coordinators monitored factors that prevented enrollment into a multi-site randomized controlled trial investigating two modes of community-based palliative care delivery for patients in the ED who are discharged home. Reasons for non-participation were documented and analyzed to identify themes within refusal data. Results: Enrollment rate across all sites was 45%. Of the 504 eligible patients who refused to participate, 237 (47.0%) refused due to barriers related to illness severity. Patients commonly refused due to misconceptions/stigma related to palliative care (123 [24.4%]). One-hundred forty-three patients (28.4%) refused due to the mode of palliative care delivery. Less commonly, patients refused due to general research barriers (16.5%), family/caregiver barriers (11.7%), and physician-related barriers (.1%). Discussion: Patients with advanced illnesses often refuse to participate in palliative care research due to the severity of their illness, misconceptions about palliative care, and the mode of care delivery. Robust training programs are crucial to overcome these misconceptions and to educate patients and providers about the role of palliative care. Future palliative care programs and study designs should recognize the burden this vulnerable population endures and consider alternative modes of care delivery in an effort to increase participation and enrollment.

Surgery combined with antibiotics for the treatment of endogenous endophthalmitis caused by live abscess
Authors: Wang Yue , Wang Xue , Di Yu 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Backgrounds: Endogenous endophthalmitis is a serious disease caused by intraocular infection that can rapidly progress to cause blindness. This study evaluated the clinical features, surgical and antibiotics treatment strategies, and treatment outcomes in patients with endophthalmitis caused by liver abscess.Methods: Between April 2014 and April 2019, the clinical data of 16 patients (19 eyes) with endophthalmitis associated with liver abscess who underwent surgery at Shengjing Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Furthermore, we evaluated the final visual outcomes in the patients to determine the efficacy of surgery.Results: Fifteen patients (18 eyes) underwent intravitreal injection followed by vitrectomy after admission. One patient (1 eye) only underwent intravitreal injection. Of the 16 patients, 3 patients (3 eyes) had recurrent intraocular inflammation and eventually underwent evisceration. Systemic antibiotics were administered for all patients based on the results of vitreous humor culture, blood culture, and antibiotic susceptibility tests. Outpatient follow-ups were performed until the patients were stable (6 months). Of the 19 eyes, 1 eye (5%) had visual acuity restored to 20/200, 6 eyes (31%) had visual acuity restored to counting fingers (CF), 2 eyes (11%) had visual acuity restored to hand motion (HM), 4 eyes (22%) showed only light perception (LP), and the remaining 6 eyes (31%) showed no light perception (NLP). Drug susceptibility tests suggested that the carbapenems exhibited significant effects in the inflammatory reaction.Conclusion: Endogenous endophthalmitis caused by liver abscess is a very serious condition, and the final visual outcome is poor. Timely surgical intervention combined with antibiotic treatment is essential, and the primary disease must be treated to control disease progression at the earliest.
