Abstract
Introduction:Covid 19 pandemic can seriously affect African nations because of the weak health care system, crowding, poor hygiene in the cities, and the random mobility of people. Hospital-based interventions are not a good choice for resource-scarce countries which have shortages of hospital beds, ventilators, and oxygen; rather practicing preventive measures at a community level is the best strategy. There is a shortage of evidence about current public adherence with COVID-19 preventive strategies in Ethiopia, therefore this study helps to target health education messages to groups of populations with poor compliance to specific prevention measures, which also contribute to decreasing the magnitude and duration of the pandemic.Methods:A Community based cross-sectional study was done on 405 participants selected by systematic random sampling in Shashemane. Data was collected using A pretested structured tool comprising socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and adherence with COVID-19 prevention practice. Participants who practiced ≥ 75% of the COVID-19 preventive practices were labeled as having “good adherence”. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the associated variables. Odds ratios along with 95%CI were estimated to identify associated factors and a level of statistical significance was decided at p -value less than 0.05.Result:The practice of COVID-19 preventive measures was 19.5%, (95% CI: 15–24.5%). Having a favorable attitude (AOR = 5, 95% CI: 3.3–8.41), having good knowledge of the disease (AOR = 3, 95% CI: 2.74– 9.3) and educational status (Diploma and above) (AOR = 5.5, 95% CI: 2– 9.39) were significantly associated factors with the practice of COVID-19 preventive measures.Conclusion:The Adherence to COVID-19 preventive practices was very low, educational status above Diploma, good knowledge, and Favorable attitude were the factors positively and independently associated with good adherence to Covid-19 prevention practices. Behavioral change communication and Strict government law and implementing it are highly required.

Abstract
The interrelationships between HIV/AIDS and armed conflict are a complex phenomenon and studies are rarely devoted to this area of research. Libya is the second-largest country in Africa that has been evoked with war since NATO intervention in 2011. The country has also experienced one of the largest HIV outbreaks associated with the Bulgarian Nurses saga. The effect of the armed conflict on the dynamic spread of HIV is not well known. The objectives of this study were to determine the impact of armed conflict on the epidemiological situation of HIV infection in Libya and analyze the transmission dynamics of HIV strains during the conflict. We investigated the movement of HIV-infected people during the Libyan armed conflict and analyzed the HIV subtypes reported from 2011 to 2020 and followed up the infected cases all over the country. The patterns of HIV spread within the Libyan regions were traced and risk factors were determined during the conflict period. A total of 4539 HIV/AIDS patients were studied from the four regions during the Libyan conflict. Our data analysis indicated that Benghazi the biggest city in the Eastern region was the significant exporter of the virus to the rest of the country. Viral dissemination changes were observed within the country particularly after 2015. A major virus- flow from the Eastern region during the armed conflict associated with internally displaced people. This resulted in a dissemination of new HIV strains and accumulations of HIV cases in Western and Meddle regions. Although, there were no significant changes in the national prevalence of HIV/AIDS. Our data highlights the factors that complicated the spread and dissemination of HIV during the armed conflict which provides a better understanding of the interaction between them. This could be used to plan for effective preventive measures in tackling the spread of HIV in conflict and post-conflict settings.

Abstract
IntroductionSevere acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV 2) is a novel coronavirus that caused an outbreak since 31 December 2019. Although the most commonly noted symptoms were fever and respiratory illness, a wide variety of other symptoms have also been seen. There has been increasing number of cases of neurological manifestations of Covid –19. Further, there has been growing association between Covid-19 and Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS).Case presentationIn this report, we present two cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia affected by Covid-19 who after recovery from Covid-19 developed symptoms of GBS. They presented with complaints of bilaterally symmetrical ascending motor paralysis and were diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome by electrophysiological tests and were started on intravenous immunoglobins for five days @ 0.4mg/kg/day after which the condition of both children gradually improved.ConclusionThis case report adds to the emerging evidence that suggests the association of GBS post Covid infections. COVID-19 can result in several autoimmune neurological phenomena including GBS. In the setting of the pandemic, COVID-19 as an underlying trigger should be considered in all immunologic phenomena. This applies to all patients, including children.

Abstract
Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) originating from wildlife present a significant threat to global health, security, and economic growth, thus combatting their emergence is a public health priority. Humans and non-human primates (NHPs) exhibit a high degree of overlap in their genetic and physiological similarities, hence making them susceptible to majority of pathogens that can cross the primate species boundaries. However, efforts to understand the potential infectious disease-causing pathogens harbored by wild primate populations has lagged and is yet to be fully explored. Disease surveillance in wildlife to identify probable infectious disease outbreaks has remained a challenge especially in developing countries due to logistical and financial constrains associated with both periodic and longitudinal sample collection. Such loopholes have hampered the preparedness to handle the emerging infectious diseases whenever they arise. In this review we focus on successes, challenges, and proposed solutions for EID surveillance in non-human primate populations in Kenya. We discuss,1) mechanisms of cross species transmission of EIDs, 2) the role of NHPS in EID transmission, 3) results from past NHP pathogen surveillance projects in Kenya and 4) challenges and proposed solutions for NHP-EID surveillance. Finally, we propose that more studies need to include investigations into understanding how cross species transmission occurs in diverse NHP populations and how this impacts one health.

:
A novel series of diimino dihydroquinazoline derivatives were synthesized from isocyanides and guanidine analogs in quantitative yields by applying an efficient, inexpensive, one-pot copper-catalyzed intramolecular C-H activation reaction under mild conditions. The structures were confirmed on the basis of IR, 1HNMR, 13C NMR, mass spectral and elemental analysis data. The protocol offers advantages like short reaction time, simple workup process, high yields, and an environmentally benign methodology. Interestingly, better results (yield = 82%) were observed in terms of the yield obtained by using a mixture of CuI, Cs2CO3 and acetonitrile as the catalyst, base and solvent, respectively. The data also suggested that compound 5i is produced with the highest yield (87%) from the corresponding diisopropyl carbon diimide, 4-nitroaniline and phenyl isocyanide. Finally, a mechanistic explanation for the reaction promoted by cuprous iodide (CuI) was proposed on the basis of previous investigations and our experimental observations.

IoT becomes more complicated due to its large size. The existing techniques of
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are not useful directly to the IoT; that is why using energyefficient
schemes for the IoT is a challenging issue. Due to battery-constrained IoT devices,
energy efficiency is of great importance. This paper gives an overview and broad survey on IoT,
WSN in IoT, challenges in IoT and WSN, energy-conserving issues and solutions and different
Node Deployment patterns. This paper addresses energy competence issues for green IoT by
proposing an energy-efficient heuristic for a regular and particular deployment scheme. QCMCSC
heuristic is implemented for Strip Based Deployment Pattern and analyzed in terms of
Energy Efficiency and Life Time of a sensor on Energy Latency Density Design Space, a
topology management application that is power efficient. QC-MCSC for Strip-based deployment
patterns and random deployment patterns are compared.

AGAINST THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN INTENTIONS FOR THE FUTURE AND INTENTIONS FOR THE PRESENT
Authors: Brozzo Chiara 
Published: September 2021

AbstractHow should we account for the planning and performance of a bodily action in terms of the agent’s intentions? An influential answer invokes two distinct kinds of intention: intentions for the future (also known as prior intentions or distal intentions), responsible for action planning, and intentions for the present (also known as intentions in action or proximal intentions), responsible for action performance. I argue that there is something wrong with this influential answer: the notion of intention for the present is either superfluous (because intentions for the future can exercise functions associated both with action planning and with action performance) or ambiguous (because it conflates temporal, functional, and content-related aspects). Developing this criticism will lead to an alternative account of action planning and performance based on intentions of just one kind.
PARTS OF SPACETIME
Authors: Baron Sam 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Consider the following pair of theses: (i) all fundamental physical objects are spatiotemporal and (ii) all non-fundamental physical objects are ultimately composed of fundamental objects. Work on the physics of quantum gravity suggests that spacetime is a non-fundamental, emergent phenomenon and thus that thesis (i) is false. The fundamentals are non-spatiotemporal in nature. This paper will argue against (ii) on the grounds that non-fundamental spatiotemporal objects cannot be composed of fundamental non-spatiotemporal objects. So, assuming that spacetime is emergent, new metaphysical resources are needed to explain the relationship between the fundamental objects posited by quantum gravity and spacetime.

Education badly needs effective innovations of scale that can help high-quality learning outcomes across the system. The primary focus of educational innovations should be on teaching and learning theory and practice, as well as on the teacher readiness to innovative activity. The analysis of the teachers accepts to innovations demonstrate that the implementation of pedagogical innovations accompanies certain problems of future teacher activity during training at the university. Main factors and reasons determining the teachers’ innovation resistance could be considered when preparing them for innovative activity as a crucial factor for modernizing the country’s education system.
MODELO SOCIOAMBIENTAL GLOBAL E MINERAÇÃO NO BRASIL: A RELAÇÃO ENTRE ESTADO E MERCADO EM DISCURSO
Authors: Mota Simões Paulo Everton , Ericson Sóstenes 
Published: September 2021

<div><p>O artigo examina os efeitos da relação entre Estado brasileiro e o mercado da mineração tendo em vista o desenvolvimento sustentável como modelo socioambiental vigente no capitalismo. Parte do pressuposto de que o relatório Brundtland forjou um modelo socioambiental, cujo objetivo central é remover a contradição entre crescimento econômico e preservação da Natureza. Utiliza-se o aporte teórico e metodológico da Análise do Discurso pecheuxtiana, cujos procedimentos teórico-analíticos são definidos à luz do materialismo histórico. No modelo socioambiental vigente, as grandes corporações, como é o caso da Vale, realizam uma apropriação privada dos bens naturais coletivos, pois necessitam aumentar sua produtividade e alcançam esse fim ao transformar bens não mercantis em mercadoria, ao mesmo tempo em que transferem os danos socioambientais à sociedade. A parceria entre Estado e mercado, no atual modelo socioambiental vigente, faz com que o poder do Estado conduza a tal apropriação, por parte da grande corporação transnacional de mineração, dos bens naturais coletivos, ao mesmo tempo em que transferem os danos socioambientais, decorrentes da atividade produtiva, à sociedade.</p></div>

Required service rate for mixed traffic
Authors: Сидорова Оксана Игоревна , Хохлов Юрий Степанович 
Published: September 2021

В данной работе нами получены границы для скорости обслуживания при некоторых ограничениях на характеристики обслуживания в неоднородной модели входящего трафика, основанной на сумме независимых фрактального броуновского движения и симметричного $\alpha$-устойчивого движения Леви с разными коэффициентами Херста $H_1$ и $H_2=1/\alpha$.
Хорошо известно, что для процессов, приращения которых имеют тяжёлые хвосты, методы расчета эффективной пропускной способности, основанные на производящей функции моментов входящего потока, не применимы. Однако существуют простые соотношения между характеристиками потока, скоростью обслуживания $C$ и вероятностями $\varepsilon(b)$ переполнения для конечного и бесконечного буфера, из которых при фиксированном значении $\varepsilon(b)$ можно выразить $C$.
In this paper we analyse the nonhomogenous traffic model based on sum of independent Fractional Brownian motion and
symmetric $\alpha$-stable Levy process with different Hurst exponents $H_1$ and $H_2=1/\alpha$ and present bounds for the required service rate under QoS constraints.
It is well known that for the processes with long-tailed increments effective bandwidths are not expressed by means of the moment generating function of the input flow. However we can derive simple relations between the flow parameters, service rate $C$ and overflow probabilities $\varepsilon (b)$ for finite and infinite buffer. In this way it is possible to find
required service rate $C$ under a constraint on maximum overflow probability.
