Background The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cancer, in Africa is rising. Policymakers are charged with formulating evidence-based cancer control plans; however, there is a paucity of data on cancers generated from within Africa. As part of efforts to enhance cancer research training in East Africa, we performed a needs assessment and gap analysis of cancer-related research training resources in Tanzania. Methods A mixed-methods study to evaluate existing individual, institutional, and national resources supporting cancer research training in Tanzania was conducted. Qualitative data were collected using in-depth interviews while quantitative data were collected using self-administered questionnaires and online surveys. The study also included a desk-review of policy and guidelines related to NCD research and training. Study participants were selected to represent five groups: (i) policymakers; (ii) established researchers; (iii) research support personnel; (iv) faculty members in degree training programs; and (v) post-graduate trainees. Results Our results identified challenges in four thematic areas. First, there is a need for coordination and monitoring of the cancer research agenda at the national level. Second, both faculty and trainees identified the need for incorporation of rigorous training to improve research competencies. Third, sustained mentoring and institutional investment in development of mentorship resources is critical to empowering early career investigators. Finally, academic institutions can enhance research outputs by providing adequate research infrastructure, prioritizing protected time for research, and recognizing research accomplishments by trainees and faculty. Conclusions As we look towards establishment of cancer research training programs in East Africa, investment in the development of rigorous research training, mentorship resources, and research infrastructure will be critical to empowering local health professionals to engage in cancer research activities.

Background Despite well-documented individual-level barriers to fistula care access including limited awareness, psychosocial deterrents, and contextual factors, less is known about how these factors manifest and operate at community level. Social normative community perspectives – their knowledge, attitudes and actions in relation to women living with fistula – can offer insight into this mechanism. Our study describes changes in fistula knowledge and attitudes toward those living with fistula among community members in Nigeria and Uganda following implementation of a multi-component intervention addressing treatment barriers. Methods This study adopts a pre-post qualitative design with a comparison site and draws on focus group discussions with female and male community members from three sites in Nigeria and Uganda. Transcripts were analyzed for passages presenting community knowledge and attitudes related to fistula and perceptions of women living with fistula. Summary memos were developed and used to compare viewpoints across study sites and time points and between men and women. Results Community members demonstrated basic knowledge of symptoms of fistula and mixed understanding of its causes; prolonged obstructed labor and iatrogenic causes were most known. Myths and misconceptions around fistula causes commonly relate to incorrect biomedical understanding, witchcraft, and promiscuity. To varying degrees, fistula cause knowledge increased, and misinformation decreased among endline intervention groups with less observed change in endline comparison groups. Awareness that fistula can be surgically repaired free of charge at fistula centers varied across study regions, with higher awareness among individuals who personally knew someone who experienced repair at a center. Although community members at baseline and endline perceive shame and stigma as affecting women living with fistula, community attitudes toward these women show an increase in empathy at endline in intervention areas. Conclusions Community empathy and willingness to help women living with fistula, coupled with reduction in misinformation regarding fistula, its cause and how to access treatment, is an incremental outcome associated with the implementation of a multi-component intervention to address treatment barriers. However, findings reveal that social and behavioral change happens slowly and that further programmatic research on society-targeted approaches emphasizing comprehensive community understanding of fistula and stigma reduction is needed.

Recent morphological evolution and slope instability in a hilly area of Piedmont (North Italy)
Authors: Bottino Giannantonio , Mandrone Giuseppe , Torta Daniela , Vigna Bartolomeo 
Published: April 2021

In the hilly area of Langa, which is situated to the south of the city of Alba between the Belbo and Bormida Valleys, the heavy rainfall and subsequent floods of 3-6 November 1994 triggered numerous landslides. The slides caused serious damage to residential areas and various types of infrastructure.
Engineering geological, geomorphological, geotechnical, hydrogeological, and geophysical methods were applied to investigate the instabilities. Among hundreds of failures, most of them were planar slides and debris-mud flows. However, the numerous landslides directly connected to the event represent only a part of the large and varied types of phenomenon in this area. In fact, most of the recent landslides can be considered as reactivated older ones that were more-or-less quiescent. They intersect at the depth the marly basement and are directly connected to the recent geological and tectonic evolution of the area.
The paper describes the mass movements and their causative factors. It also focuses on the hazards and risks associated with the instabilities, and their mitigation measures.
An overview of landslide hazard mapping and rating systems in Nepal
Authors: Dhital Megh Raj 
Published: April 2021

The landslide hazard (LH) maps prepared by various agencies and individuals in Nepal can be classified into the following three types: (1) map of a region. (2) map of a corridor, and (3) map of a site. The regional LH maps include watersheds, sub­ watersheds, or part of them. These maps are used mainly for watershed management, infrastructure planning, and estimating erosion and sedimentation. The LH maps of a corridor are prepared for the purpose of comparing them with other alternatives, delineating hazardous areas for further studies, and estimating risks in the construction or maintenance of the linear infrastructure in that strip. On the other hand, the LH maps of a specific site are prepared for the purpose of landslide (or slope) monitoring as well as for delineating areas requiring immediate, short-term, or long-term mitigation measures.
In Nepal, various rating systems are used for the preparation of LH maps. The number of attributes used for rating varies widely (from 5 to 20). Generally, there are from 3 to 5 subcategories in each attribute. The LH map is prepared by superimposing the rating attributes manually or by the help of a computer. This type of map contains from 3 to 4 hazard categories (i.e. low. medium. high. and very high). The rating system for a regional LH map is developed on the basis of landslide distribution pattern within the subcategory of an attribute. The LH map of a corridor is prepared by dividing it into soil and rock slopes based on the field data, topographical map, and/or aerial photo interpretation. The LH map of a site is prepared on 1:2,000 or larger-scale topographical maps or oblique photomosaic. Some examples of the above three types of LH maps are also given.
Conceptualising and building trust to enhance engagement, achievement and feedback-seeking behavior of under-served students: exploring instructor antecedents in online tertiary education
Authors: Payne Ameena , Stone Cathy , Bennett Rebecca 
Published: April 2021

Online educators must establish the kinds of trust that are uncommon in didactic, mechanical pedagogies. This conceptual paper asserts the importance of building and sustaining trust between higher education students and their instructors within the online environment. Instilling trust can construct sustainable learning environments that are abundant with collaborative inquiry and dialogue. The themes explored in this paper highlight and investigate the conceptual construct of trust and its antecedents.

We address the nature and purpose of interpersonal trust in student/instructor relationships within online higher education institutions. We also explore several factors (in particular, performativity, casualisation of teaching staff, neoliberalism, non-traditional student identities and the digital divide) which influence the development of trust. We investigate the role of trust in influencing student feedback-seeking behaviour, engagement and achievement, in terms of attainment of academic goals. Notably, we highlight the importance of further inquiry into methods of rapport-building in higher education. Theoretical foundations have been drawn from Indigenous scholarship as well as organisational and socio-psychological literature. We close by welcoming further discussion of and reflection on institutional practices and performance measures in the digital environment and whether they allow instructors to embed relational aspects and elicit cognitive and affective trust from their students.

В умовах зміни клімату важливо отримати достовірний прогноз стану та продуктивності лісів на середньострокову та довгострокову перспективу. Наведено результати моделювання потенційної продуктивності лісів (PP) із використанням моделі (індексу) Патерсона (CVP) у базовому, сучасному кліматі та майбутніх кліматичних умовах за сценаріями RCP 4.5 та RCP 8.5 у ХХІ сторіччі в Україні з урахуванням лісогосподарського районування за С. А. Генсіруком. Результати моделювання проаналізовано за допомогою кореляційного аналізу отриманих значень та шляхом зіставлення з фактичною продуктивністю головних лісоутворювальних порід (дуба звичайного, сосни звичайної, ялини європейської, бука лісового, вільхи чорної та берези повислої) за середнім бонітетом і середньою зміною запасу. Виявлено значущу лінійну кореляцію обох показників для більшості порід (крім вільхи чорної та ялини європейської) з показником потенційної продуктивності за Патерсоном. Використання моделі Патерсона в умовах зміни кліматичних показників дає змогу прогнозувати динаміку потенційної продуктивності лісів в Україні у разі зміни клімату на рівні природних зон і лісогосподарських областей, проте для отримання точніших прогнозів необхідно враховувати типологічні, едафічні та морфометричні особливості лісових ділянок і вплив на лісостани біотичних чинників, зокрема шкідників та хвороб лісу.
Ключові слова: проєкт EURO-CORDEX, сценарій RCP 4.5, сценарій RCP 8.5, модель CVP, середня зміна запасу, бонітет, головні лісоутворювальні породи.

Energi surya dapat digunakan sebagai energi alternatif yang akan dikonversi menjadi listrik untuk mengurangi penggunaan energi fosil menggunakan sel surya. Oleh karena itu sistem pengisian baterai 24V 7.5 AH menggunakan sel surya 30 WP. Keluaran sel surya dipengaruhi oleh intensitas sinar matahari, menyebabkan tegangan dan keluaran sel surya tidak stabil. Maka dilakukan kontrol sehingga tegangan output dari sel surya yang tidak stabil akan diubah menjadi tegangan yang stabil sesuai set point menggunakan kontrol Proportional Integral (PI). Tegangan yang berubah dari sel surya setelah memasuki boost converter stabil pada tegangan 28,8 V. Tuning parameter Proportional Integral (PI) menggunakan metode Ziegler-Nichols 2. Proses penentuan parameter PI Ziegler-Nichols 2 dihitung menggunakan respon yang diatur menggunakan slider gain sehingga respon berosilasi. Didapat nilai konstanta PI terbaik yang diperoleh dari hasil percobaan adalah Kp = 0,128, Ki = 0,12, Parameter dari metode PI ini meliputi rise time 8s, settling time 20s, overshoot 7%, peak time 7,5s dan error steady state 0,6%.
