Authors: Nwosu Sebastian N.N. , Ezenwa Adanma C. , Uba-Obiano Chizoba U. 
Published: July 2021

Objectives
To determine patients’ perception of COVID-19 and their practice of disease prevention measures.

Materials and Methods:
Consenting, consecutive new adult patients at the Guinness Eye Centre Onitsha were interviewed using a pretested questionnaire. Information sought included patients’ COVID-19 knowledge, its symptoms, transmission, preventive measures, compliance, and worries.

Results:
Of 81 participants, the mean age was 47.9 ± 17.6 years; 31 (38.3%) were males; 61 (75.3%) attained secondary or higher education. All participants knew about COVID-19; radio/television was the most common information source (88.9%). Although 85.2% participants knew that COVID-19 is a communicable disease, 86.4% knew of its viral etiology and 86.4% knew that it could be transmitted by close contact with persons/fomites. Common symptoms known to the participants were cough (82.7%), fever (61.7%), and breathlessness (55.6 %); the most common known preventive measures were wearing face mask in public (90.1%) and handwashing (82.7%). Although 44.4% knew that physical distancing was a preventive strategy, only 11.1% knew that the distance of separation should be at least one meter; 49.4% always wore face mask in public, 61.7% washed hands frequently, whereas only 4.9% maintained physical distancing; 44.4% worried that pandemic restrictions negatively affected their access to eye care and 29.6% feared contracting the disease in eye clinics.

Conclusions:
All study participants knew of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, knowledge of the disease, its transmission, and preventive measures was suboptimal; many patients do not adhere to the recommended preventive measures. Repetitive public health education is required to improve compliance with disease control measures and allay fears.

Authors: Achigbu E. O. , Agweye C. T. , Achigbu K. I. , Mbatuegwu A. I. 
Published: July 2021

Aim:
The aim of the study was to provide an updated review on the prevalence and correlates of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Materials and Methods:
A systematic literature search of Medline, Embase, African Journal Online, Africa-Wide Information databases, and Google Scholar for relevant articles was done using a search strategy with key concepts. Studies published between 2010 and 2020 on the prevalence and correlates of DR in SSA were selected. Data on the main study outcomes were extracted into a table based on the study designs.

Results:
Twenty-seven studies from 12 countries were included. Studies varied in terms of patients’ selection, method of assessing the eye, and retinopathy classiﬁcation. The reported prevalence range for any DR was 13% to 82.6% and sight-threatening retinopathy 2.1% to 51.4% respectively. Duration of diabetes mellitus and systolic blood pressure were the most common factors associated with an increased risk of DR.

Conclusion:
There is no recent population-based prevalence of DR in SSA. The available results are however comparable with recent values reported in Europe, America, Middle East, and North Africa. Urgent structured population-based studies on the prevalence of DR are needed for effective public health interventions.

ABSTRACT.
We conducted an assessment of disability, anxiety, and other life impacts of COVID-19 and isolation care in a unique cohort of individuals. These included both community admissions to a university hospital as well as some of the earliest international aeromedical evacuees. Among an initial 16 COVID-19 survivors that were interviewed 6–12 months following their admission into isolation care, perception of their isolation care experience was related to their reporting of long-term consequences. However, anxiety and disability assessed with standard scores had no relationship with each other. Both capture of the isolation care experience and caution relying on single scoring systems for assessing long-term consequences in survivors are important considerations for on-going and future COVID-19 and other pandemic survivor research.

ABSTRACT.
The emergence of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum parasites in Southeast Asia threatens malaria control and elimination. The interconnectedness of parasite populations may be essential to monitor the spread of resistance. Combining a published barcoding system of geographically restricted single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mainly mitochondria of P. falciparum with SNPs in the K13 artemisinin resistance marker, could elucidate the parasite population structure and provide insight regarding the spread of drug resistance. We explored the diversity of mitochondrial SNPs (bp position 611-2825) and identified K13 SNPs from malaria patients in the districts of India (Ranchi), Tanzania (Korogwe), and Senegal (Podor, Richard Toll, Kaolack, and Ndoffane). DNA was amplified using a nested PCR and Sanger-sequenced. Overall, 199 K13 sequences (India: N = 92; Tanzania: N = 48; Senegal: N = 59) and 237 mitochondrial sequences (India: N = 93; Tanzania: N = 48; Senegal: N = 96) were generated. SNPs were identified by comparisons with reference genomes. We detected previously reported geographically restricted mitochondrial SNPs (T2175C and G1367A) as markers for parasites originating from the Indian subcontinent and several geographically unrestricted mitochondrial SNPs. Combining haplotypes with published P. falciparum mitochondrial genome data suggested possible regional differences within India. All three countries had G1692A, but Tanzanian and Senegalese SNPs were well-differentiated. Some mitochondrial SNPs are reported here for the first time. Four nonsynonymous K13 SNPs were detected: K189T (India, Tanzania, Senegal); A175T (Tanzania); and A174V and R255K (Senegal). This study supports the use of mitochondrial SNPs to determine the origin of the parasite and suggests that the P. falciparum populations studied were susceptible to artemisinin during sampling because all K13 SNPs observed were outside the propeller domain for artemisinin resistance.
Navigating housing affordability in Rwanda: Challenges and facilitation strategies
Authors: Malonza Josephine M. , Kibwami Nathan , Lawal Philip O. 
Published: July 2021

Housing and its affordability have, of recent, been of great concern to various stakeholders, especially in the developing world. Consequently, contributing aspects such as construction/tenancy costs, sustainability, environmental impact, and availability of credit facilities with a host of other factors, have dominated contemporary research. Various studies suggest that addressing affordable housing requires understanding the contextual factors that impact affordability of housing. Such studies have not been known to succinctly treat the context of Rwanda. This paper aimed at exploring the perspectives of housing affordability in Rwanda with a view of eliciting the status, challenges, and prospects. The objectives included description of the current status of housing, identifying the challenges of providing affordable housing, and proposals of strategies to enhance its provision. Data, such as for workers’ salary, costs of house construction, inflationary trends and the number of housing units per income group, were sought for and obtained either from the archives of various stakeholder organizations or by interviewing key officers concerned with housing. Descriptive statistics and thematic analyses were employed in analyzing the data in order to fulfil the objectives of the study. It was found that home ownership and tenure statistics varied, yet housing demand was on the rise. Foremost challenges, among others, were recorded to be scarcity and costly plots of land, compounded with costly building materials. In addition, the purchasing power of the local currency depreciated fast over time, thereby making good quality housing unaffordable for the majority of Rwandans. Localizing policy to enhance public awareness, resolving the issue of high cost of construction materials, and coming up with innovative interventions on land costs, were among the key strategies to facilitate housing affordability.

Ingres en el Campidoglio: otra mirada al paisaje urbano
Authors: Pérez Igualada Javier 
Published: July 2021

<p>En este artículo se analiza la mirada particular al paisaje urbano que propone Ingres en su dibujo L’Escalier de Santa Maria in Aracoeli, comparándola con la que resulta de aceptar como punto de vista predeterminado el que Miguel Ángel propone en su composición simétrica para la Piazza del Campidoglio. Se examinan para ello las diferentes formas en las que se ha representado gráficamente el conjunto del Campidoglio, tanto en manuales de referencia sobre morfología urbana como en los grabados antiguos, para rastrear a través del encuadre y la perspectiva antecedentes de la mirada alternativa de Ingres. Finalmente, se integra el análisis del dibujo de la escalinata de Santa María in Aracoeli en una interpretación de los paisajes urbanos dibujados por Ingres durante su estancia en Roma, identificando los rasgos distintivamente modernos que podemos encontrar en su representación de la ciudad.</p>

Published: July 2021

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender as relações de gênero nas fábricas automotivas do Sul Fluminense/RJ, através da análise exploratória dos dados da Relação Anual das Informações Sociais- RAIS. Desde 1996, com a chegada da Volkswagen no município de Resende, o governo do estado passou a implementar medidas visando a atração de outras indústrias, em especial montadoras de veículos. Ao longo dos anos seguintes, os municípios localizados no Sul Fluminense se converteram em um novo polo automotivo, ocupado por uma diversidade de empresas que dinamizaram a economia local e geraram um grande volume de empregos. Com dados compreendidos entre os anos de 2007 e 2017, o trabalho buscou verificar de que maneira esse desenvolvimento se deu no tocante às disparidades retratadas na literatura sobre gênero e trabalho na indústria brasileira.

Translating Hungarian Drama for the British and the American Stage
Authors: Komporaly Jozefina 
Published: July 2021

Reflecting on my experience of translating contemporary Hungarian theater into English, this paper examines the fluidity of dramatic texts in their original and in translation, and charts collaborations between playwrights, translators and theater-makers. Mindful of the responsibility when working from a “minor” to a “major” language, the paper signals the discrepancy between the indigenous and foreign ‘recognition circuit’ and observes that translations from lesser-known languages are predominantly marked by a supply-driven agenda. Through case studies from the work of Transylvanian-Hungarian playwright András Visky, the paper argues that considerations regarding such key tenets of live theater as “speakability” and “performability” have to be addressed in parallel with correspondences in meaning, rhythm and spirit. The paper also points out that register and the status of certain lexical choices differ in various languages. Nuancing the trajectory of Visky’s plays in English translation, this paper makes a case for translations created with and for their originals, in full knowledge of the source and receiving cultures, and with a view to their potential in performance. The paper posits the need for multiple options encoded in the translation journey, including hypothetical concepts for future mise-en-scène, and situates the translator as a key participant in the performance making process.
PARALLEL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE YANENKO METHOD FOR SOLVING THE HEAT EQUATION
Authors: Semyatova A. N. , Kenzhebek E. G. 
Published: July 2021

In this article, we will consider the parallel implementation of the Yanenko algorithm for the two-dimensional heat equation, and the sweep method was used to numerically solve the heat equation. The implementation of the sequential program is carried out simply in two-part steps by the longitudinal-transverse run, however, parallelization of two fractional steps with an indefinite scheme is difficult due to the creation of inter-process communication of data. In the course of the study, a parallel data distribution with one-dimensional decompositions is shown in the application of the Yanenko method for calculating heat conductivity. The results of parallelization of this task using the 1D decomposition were obtained and acceleration and efficiency images were analyzed in order to evaluate the parallel program. Currently, modeling of processes by numerical solution of differential equations is widely used in every field of Science, the most common methods bring the differential problem to a system of linear algebraic equations, methods that solve such systems include various startup options. The emergence and development of computing systems using Multi-Core processors and graphics accelerators make the problem of startup parallelization relevant; the results of the study are used for teaching in research institutes and universities.
Planning, property and profit: the use of financial viability modelling in urban property development
Authors: Mitchell Edward 
Published: July 2021

By drawing upon McAuslan’s analysis of the ideologies underpinning land use planning law, this paper examines financial viability modelling and legal processes in the context of local authority decision-making related to property development on large urban sites. A local authority can make a site ready for development by using ‘compulsory purchase’ powers to acquire land, by transferring that land to a property developer and by granting that developer planning permission to commence construction. Analysis of case law, academic criticism of viability modelling practices and a recent property development project highlight issues arising when local authority planning departments use viability appraisals to legitimise decisions purportedly taken in the public interest. An in-depth examination of viability modelling within local authority estates departments then opens a new site for critical inquiry of local authority land acquisition practices. The paper’s conclusions reflect upon how financial viability modelling shapes decision-making, despite questions surrounding both modelling techniques and the outputs that viability appraisals produce.
