Published: November 2020

Adolescent nutrition and health issues need to be considered because adolescents are the next generation that determines the quality of human resources. Likewise, adolescents who are living in marginal conditions such as the Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) need to receive special attention due to the lack of access to information and nutrition education in these groups. Therefore, the purpose of this service is to educate adolescent nutrition and health in the indigenous community of Suku Anak Dalam (SAD). This activity was carried out in June - August 2020, in Pematang Kabau Village, Sarolangun Regency. The target is 10 SAD adolescents. This activity consists of providing education with power point media, leaflets, posters, and videos, as well as demonstrations using food models. The outputs of the community service activities are: (1) Media leaflets and health nutrition posters and; (2) Application of balanced nutrition in adolescents. The results showed that a better change to aspects of nutritional knowledge where most targets can recognize and mention foods that are good for health, and can exemplify simple ways of monitoring nutritional status such as weighing, height, and measurement of Upper Arm Circumference. Based on this activity it is necessary to collaborate efforts from village officials, nutrition cadres and health workers to carry out routine nutrition and health monitoring on SAD adolescents so as to improve the health status of the SAD community.
Non-Oil Exports and Manufacturing Sector Growth in an Oil-Rich Country in Africa
Authors: Ogunewe Nwanneka Cynthia , Ananwude Amalachukwu , Nduka Dr Joseph Afamefuna 
Published: November 2020

Purpose: This paper presents an analysis of the effect of non-oil exports on the manufacturing sector growth in an oil-rich country in Africa – Nigeria from 1986 to 2018. In clear terms, we evaluated how manufacturing sector capacity utilization is affected by non-oil exports.
Methods: The Ordinary Least Square (OLS) estimation technique was applied in estimating the model and was lagged by two years. The long-run relationship was determined using the traditional Johansen co-integration methodology. How manufacturing sector growth is affected by non-oil exports was evaluated using the Granger Causality technique. The Augmented Dicky-Fuller (ADF) and Phillips-Perron tests were applied to check the stationarity properties of the data.
Results: The growth in the manufacturing sector in Nigeria has not been significantly affected by non-oil export despite the various non-oil export promotion strategies initiated by the government.
Implication: A major implication of the finding is that the cost and access to financial services for non-oil exporters should be reduced or relaxed by the Central Bank of Nigeria. High-interest rates charged by commercial banks and little disbursement characterized by the volume of commercial banks credit affect manufacturing firms concerning acquiring modern plants and machinery which results in a poor quality of non-oil exports.
Fast Radio Burst Breakouts from Magnetar Burst Fireballs
Authors: Ioka Kunihito 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The recent discovery of a Mega-Jansky radio burst occurring simultaneously with short X-ray bursts from the Galactic magnetar (strongly magnetized neutron star (NS)) SGR 1935+2154 is a smoking gun for the hypothesis that some cosmological fast radio bursts (FRBs) arise from magnetar bursts. We argue that the X-ray bursts with high temperature T ≳ 30 keV entail an electron–positron (e
±) outflow from a trapped–expanding fireball, polluting the NS magnetosphere before the FRB emission. The e
± outflow is opaque to induced Compton scatterings of FRB photons, and is strongly Compton-dragged by the X-ray bursts. Nevertheless, the FRB photons can break out of the e
± outflow with radiation forces if the FRB emission radius is larger than a few tens of NS radii. A FRB is choked if the FRB is weaker or the X-ray bursts are stronger, possibly explaining why there are no FRBs with giant flares and no detectable X-ray bursts with weak FRBs. We also speculate that the e
± outflow may be inevitable for FRBs, solving the problem of why the FRBs occur only with high-T X-ray bursts. The breakout physics is important for constraining the emission mechanism and electromagnetic counterparts to future FRBs.
Developing Competencies of Nurses in Wound Care: The Impact of a New Service Delivery Model Including Teleassistance
Authors: Corriveau Genevieve , Couturier Yves , Camden Chantal 
Published: November 2020

Background:
The implementation of a new wound care model of service delivery, including training and teleassistance, provided us with the opportunity to study nursing competencies in a primary health care context.

Method:
A mixed-methods study was chosen to address the complexity related to the development of competencies from two complementary perspectives.

Results:
Nurses' self-perceived knowledge and skills improved immediately after training. Factors identified as influencing the development process were grouped into three themes: Acquired Skills and Knowledge, Personal Factors, and Work Organization Factors.

Conclusion:

Our study demonstrates that the skills and knowledge can be enhanced through integrated continuing education efforts, and brings a deeper understanding of factors that influence the competency development. Finally, the research team highlighted the potential of telehealth technologies.

Specific Competencies of Prehospital Emergency Nursing: The Views of Spanish University Professors
Authors: Vázquez-Casares Ana , Vidal Javier 
Published: November 2020

Background:
The guarantee of nursing competence in prehospital urgent care requires the identification and delimitation of the specific competencies. This work describes the importance attributed by professors of Spanish universities to the competencies of prehospital nursing positions and indicates the most appropriate training level required to achieve them.

Method:
The current work consisted of a survey with an online questionnaire. Sixty competencies over 10 domains were studied.

Results:
The most valued domains were those of general and personal competencies. The competencies considered most important were “Recognizes the vital risk and knows how to perform basic and advanced life support maneuvers” and “Provides quality health care.” The nursing degree is considered appropriate to train students to the required level in only eight competencies.

Conclusion:

The proposed competencies can be considered as specific competencies necessary in prehospital emergency nursing. Effective performance requires training to a higher level than a nursing degree.

Posterior Segment Characterization in Children With Pierson Syndrome
Authors: AlTaisan Abdulaziz , Magliyah Moustafa , Abouammoh Marwan A. , Taskintuna Ibrahim , Alzahrani Yahya , Chang Emmanuel , Alsulaiman Sulaiman M. 
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Pierson syndrome is a rare genetic disease defined by congenital nephrotic syndrome in association with microcoria. The authors aim to describe the posterior segment and retinal features in Pierson syndrome.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
A retrospective chart review of nine patients diagnosed with Pierson syndrome was ascertained. Details of ophthalmic history, ocular examination, retinal imaging, and surgical interventions were obtained during a median duration of 17 months of follow-up (range: 6 to 60 months). Retinal interventions included scatter laser photocoagulation and surgical retinal repair.

RESULTS:
Sixteen eyes of nine patients were included. The axial length of five eyes with flat retina was 26.59 mm ± 0.99 mm. Highly myopic features including tessellated fundus with accompanying optic disc pallor, unidentifiable cup, and abnormal retinal vascular emanation from the disc were observed in all eyes (100%), whereas 12 eyes (75%) had parapapillary chorioretinal atrophy. Features of abnormal retinal vascularization included avascular peripheral retina on fluorescein angiography, aberrant course of the temporal arcades in 13 eyes (81.3%), and straightened nasal retinal blood vessels in 12 eyes (75%). Tortuous retinal blood vessels were observed in three eyes (18.75%). Surgical repair was performed in five out of seven eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Recurrence was observed in all eyes, which required two to three procedures to achieve final reattachment.

CONCLUSIONS:
Combined features of high axial myopia with incomplete peripheral vascular maturation characterize the posterior segment in Pierson syndrome. Careful posterior segment examination is essential to detect RRD or retinal neovascularization.

Baseline Visual Acuity at Wet AMD Diagnosis Predicts Long-Term Vision Outcomes: An Analysis of the IRIS Registry
Authors: Ho Allen C. , Kleinman David M. , Lum Flora C. , Heier Jeffrey S. , Lindstrom Richard L. , Orr Susan C. , Chang Grace C. , Smith Eleanor L. , Pollack John S. 
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Clinical trials in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) demonstrate that high visual acuity (VA) can be maintained, and low VA can be improved with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment. Few real-world data investigating the relationship between baseline VA and long-term outcomes exist. This study compares VA at diagnosis and after treatment using data from a large patient registry.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Retrospective study of IRIS Registry patients diagnosed with nAMD in one or both eyes between January 2013 and June 2017. Patients received at least two anti-VEGF injections in the study eye(s) less than 45 days apart during the study period. Primary outcomes were the percentage of eyes with 20/40 VA or better at diagnosis and association of VA at diagnosis with longer-term visual outcomes.

RESULTS:
The study included 162,902 eyes. Among all included eyes, 34.3% presented with 20/40 VA or better at diagnosis. Patients with 20/40 vision or better at baseline maintained a mean VA of 20/40 or better for 2 years after treatment initiation.

CONCLUSIONS:
Baseline VA at nAMD diagnosis predicts long-term VA outcomes. Early diagnosis before VA is adversely affected is a key factor in preserving vision in patients with nAMD.

Reliable and Hybridized Trust Based Algorithm to Thwart Blackhole Attacks in MANETs using Network Preponderant Determinants
Authors: M Thebiga , Pramila Suji R 
Published: November 2020

<p>This Mobile adhoc networks is a perpetual and autogenous organization without framework, and the mobile nodes are coupled cordlessly. Owing to the deficiency of framework assistance, reliable data distribution is a demanding process in mobile adhoc networks and this mobile adhoc network is unguarded to many categories of attacks. A black hole attack in Mobile Adhoc networks cites to an attack by the malevolent node which strongly get hold of the path from sender to the receiver, by means of perversion of subsequence word. With regard to diminish the menace from the malevolent node, the authors encompass the notion of trust in mobile adhoc networks. In this paper, we cope with a packet dropping misconduct named Black hole Attack and we propounded a new hybrid trust based secured algorithm hinged on four new parameters to scrutinize, whether the transitional nodes are transmitting the packets correctly to the adjacent nodes. This paper presents a new hybrid trust based concept to pinpoint the malevolent node hinged on the computation of trust value. Using ns2 simulator, we analyse the performance of our proposed method and proved the detection efficiency. The investigated results shows that our proposed work can precisely diagnose the malevolent nodes and assure a good packet delivery ratio and network throughput.</p>

Published: November 2020

<span lang="EN-GB">Chatbots have gained increasing importance in today research with a lot of available applications. They are flexible and can be applied in many application domains. In tourism, Chatbots can recommend sights, hotels, activities, or even full travel plans. Usually, users are required to visit plenty of websites and install different Apps into their mobile phones in order to navigate the city and planning for the trip which is inconvenient and time-consuming. To address this issue, this paper proposes “Smart Guidance”, an AI text-based chatbot that is developed as a mobile application. It simulates a chat with users in a natural language, it also provides a two-way interaction and it is a single point of contact for all user communications. We provide a use case in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Jeddah is the second largest city in Saudi Arabia and tourists have various choices when it comes to moving around the city. The final evaluation of the chatbot showed that the bot could understand meanings and users’ requests. Moreover, users found that the interaction is effective, and the responses are provided immediately. Users were satisfied and like the idea that they could express their needs in their natural language. Furthermore, users enjoyed the interaction and felt engaged.</span>
L'argent dans la culture moderne
Authors: Simmel Georg 
Published: November 2020

« L’argent est la seule création culturelle qui soit de pure énergie, qui se soit complètement abstraite de son support matériel, n’étant plus qu’absolu symbole. Il est le plus significatif des phénomènes de notre temps dans la mesure où sa dynamique a envahi le sens de toute théorie et de toute pratique. »La Philosophie de l’argent de Georg Simmel, dont la première édition parut en 1900, suivie d’une édition augmentée en 1907, a donné à la sociologie, au moment même où elle naissait en Allemagne, un tour très particulier. Comme le marxisme Simmel traite du capital et du travail ; comme Max Weber il traite des formations sociales et des forces morales qui les portent. Mais il le fait en des termes qui, tout à la fois, sont profondément marqués par le contexte spirituel de l’époque – en particulier la « philosophie de la Vie » – et qui ont révélé toutes leurs potentialités critiques en ce qui concerne l’interprétation de la « vie moderne ».Les cinq textes de ce recueil portent précisément sur le rapport entre l’argent et « l’économie de la vie ». Il ne s’agit nullement de parega mais, dans l’optique de la sociologie de la culture dont Simmel est le fondateur, d’études qui permettent d’appréhender l’ensemble de sa pensée et qu’il a d’ailleurs en partie intégrées à certaines de ses publications majeures, et notamment à son ouvrage-testament Lebensanschauung.

ABSTRACTPediatric Lassa fever (LF) usually presents as a nonspecific febrile illness, similar to other endemic diseases in countries like Sierra Leone, where LF is considered to be hyperendemic. The nonspecificity of presentation and lack of research have made it difficult to fully understand best practices for pediatric management. We aim to describe clinical characteristics of hospitalized pediatric patients suspected or diagnosed with LF and assess factors associated with hospital outcomes among those with LF antigen–positive results. We conducted a 7-year retrospective cohort study using routine data for all children younger than 18 years admitted at the Kenema Government Hospital’s LF ward. A total of 292 children with suspected or confirmed LF were analyzed. Overall, mortality was high (21%). Children with antigen-positive results had a high case fatality rate of 63% (P < 0.01). In univariate analyses, children who presented with unexplained bleeding (odds ratio [OR]: 3.58; 95% CI: 1.08–11.86; P = 0.040) and confusion (altered sensorium) (OR: 5.37; 95% CI: 1.34–21.48; P = 0.020) had increased odds of death. Abnormal serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (P = 0.001), creatinine (P = 0.004), and potassium (P = 0.003) were associated with increased likelihood of death in these children. Treatment with ribavirin was not significantly associated with survival (P = 0.916). Our findings provide insights into current pediatric LF clinical presentation and management. More evidence-based, high-quality research in creating predictive algorithms of antigen-positivity and hospital outcomes is needed in the management of pediatric LF.
Case Report: Successful Treatment of Pulmonary Talaromyces marneffei Infection with Posaconazole in a Renal Transplant Recipient
Authors: Lang Qin , Pasheed Chughtai Aamer , Kong Wei-Fang , Yan Hai-Ying 
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACTTalaromyces marneffei (T. marneffei), formerly Penicillium marneffei, is a dimorphic fungus prevalent in Southeast Asia that can cause severe systemic infection, especially in immunocompromised patients. There are few reports about the use of posaconazole in T. marneffei infection. Here, we present a case of pulmonary T. marneffei infection in a renal transplant recipient. The patient responded rapidly to oral posaconazole administration but experienced serum creatinine fluctuation because of the interaction between posaconazole and immunosuppressants. Seven months after adjusting the dose of immunosuppressants, the patient recovered completely. Posaconazole is a potentially promising therapy for T. marneffei infection, but it should be administered under close monitoring.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACTCutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) can present with various skin lesions ranging from a single ulcer to diffuse multiple nodules. Here, we present a case of a 67-year-old man with a large erythematous well-defined indurated plaque over the left face for a duration of 4 months. A slit skin smear was performed, and it was stained with Giemsa stain which showed multiple amastigotes confirming the diagnosis of CL. Oral miltefosine was started at a dose of 150 mg/day but had to be stopped after 20 days as the patient developed diarrhea, bipedal edema, and renal impairment. This case emphasizes an uncommon variant of CL and the role of systemic treatment with oral miltefosine and its associated adverse effects.

ABSTRACTMalaria elimination strategies are designed to more effectively identify and treat infected individuals to interrupt transmission. One strategy, reactive screen-and-treat, starts with passive detection of symptomatic cases at health facilities. Individuals residing within the index case and neighboring households are screened with a malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and treated if positive. However, it is unclear to what extent this strategy is effective in reducing transmission. Reactive screen-and-treat was implemented in Choma district, Southern Province, Zambia, in 2013, in which residents of the index case and neighboring households within 140 m were screened with an RDT. From March 2016 to July 2018, the screening radius was extended to 250-m, and additional follow-up visits at 30 and 90 days were added to evaluate the strategy. Plasmodium falciparum parasite prevalence was measured using an RDT and by quantitative PCR (qPCR). A 24-single nucleotide polymorphism molecular bar-code assay was used to genotype parasites. Eighty-four index case households with 676 residents were enrolled between March 2016 and March 2018. Within each season, parasite prevalence declined significantly in index households at the 30-day visit and remained low at the 90-day visit. However, parasite prevalence was not reduced to zero. Infections identified by qPCR persisted between study visits and were not identified by RDT. Parasites identified within the same household were most genetically related; however, overall parasite relatedness was low and similar across time and space. Thus, despite implementation of a reactive screen-and-treat program, parasitemia was not eliminated, and persisted in targeted households for at least 3 months.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACTJapanese encephalitis (JE) is a vaccine-preventable, mosquito-borne disease. Substantial progress with JE control in Asia has been made during the past decade, with most endemic countries now having JE vaccination programs, commonly using live attenuated SA14-14-2 JE vaccine (trade name CD-JEV). If a child develops encephalitis during the weeks to months following CD-JEV vaccination and anti-JE virus IgM (JE IgM) antibody is detected in serum, the question arises if this is JE virus infection indicating vaccine failure, or persistent JE IgM antibody postvaccination. To better understand JE IgM seropositivity following vaccination, sera from 268 children from a previous CD-JEV study were tested by two different JE IgM assays to determine JE IgM antibody frequency on days 28, 180, and 365 postvaccination. With the CDC JE IgM antibody capture ELISA (MAC-ELISA), 110 children (41%) had JE IgM positive or equivocal results on their day 28 sample, and eight (3%) and two (1%) had positive or equivocal results on day 180 and day 365 samples, respectively. With the InBios JE Detect™ MAC-ELISA (Seattle, WA), 118 (44%) children had positive or equivocal results on day 28 sample, and three (1%) and one (0.4%) had positive or equivocal results on day 180 and day 365 samples, respectively. Our results indicate that more than 40% children vaccinated with CD-JEV can have JE IgM antibodies in their serum at 1 month postvaccination but JE IgM antibody is rare by 6 months. These data will help healthcare workers assess the likelihood that JE IgM antibodies in the serum of a child with encephalitis after vaccination are vaccine related.

Published: November 2020

Aim: This research was carried out to examine the relationship between breast cancer fatalism and fear in women.
Methods: This research, which is planned as a descriptive and relationship seeker type, was conducted between March and May 2020 with women living in Iğdır.
Results: According to the findings obtained from the study, it was found that the total mean score of breast cancer fate of individuals was 4.42 ± 2.58, and the average total score of fear of breast cancer was 23.67 ± 7.03. A statistically significant relationship was found between the total mean score of breast cancer fatality, total point average of fear of breast cancer, and age (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Women's breast cancer fatality and fear of breast cancer were found at a medium level. It is recommended that the study be carried out in larger groups.
