ABSTRACTDuring 2016 to 2019, cholera outbreaks were reported commonly to the Ministry of Health from refugee settlements. To further understand the risks cholera posed to refugees, a review of surveillance data on cholera in Uganda for the period 2016–2019 was carried out. During this 4-year period, there were seven such outbreaks with 1,495 cases and 30 deaths in five refugee settlements and one refugee reception center. Most deaths occurred early in the outbreak, often in the settlements or before arrival at a treatment center rather than after arrival at a treatment center. During the different years, these outbreaks occurred during different times of the year but simultaneously in settlements that were geographically separated and affected all ages and genders. Some outbreaks spread to the local populations within Uganda. Cholera control prevention measures are currently being implemented; however, additional measures are needed to reduce the risk of cholera among refugees including oral cholera vaccination and a water, sanitation and hygiene package during the refugee registration process. A standardized protocol is needed to quickly conduct case–control studies to generate information to guide future cholera outbreak prevention in refugees and the host population.

ABSTRACTMalaria risk factor assessment is a critical step in determining cost-effective intervention strategies and operational plans in a regional setting. We develop a multi-indicator multistep approach to model the malaria risks at the population level in western Kenya. We used a combination of cross-sectional seasonal malaria infection prevalence, vector density, and cohort surveillance of malaria incidence at the village level to classify villages into malaria risk groups through unsupervised classification. Generalized boosted multinomial logistics regression analysis was performed to determine village-level risk factors using environmental, biological, socioeconomic, and climatic features. Thirty-six villages in western Kenya were first classified into two to five operational groups based on different combinations of malaria risk indicators. Risk assessment indicated that altitude accounted for 45–65% of all importance value relative to all other factors; all other variable importance values were < 6% in all models. After adjusting by altitude, villages were classified into three groups within distinct geographic areas regardless of the combination of risk indicators. Risk analysis based on altitude-adjusted classification indicated that factors related to larval habitat abundance accounted for 63% of all importance value, followed by geographic features related to the ponding effect (17%), vegetation cover or greenness (15%), and the number of bed nets combined with February temperature (5%). These results suggest that altitude is the intrinsic factor in determining malaria transmission risk in western Kenya. Malaria vector larval habitat management, such as habitat reduction and larviciding, may be an important supplement to the current first-line vector control tools in the study area.

A total of 769 adult females belonging to 3 taurine and one zebu cattle populations sampled in 3 provinces of Burkina Faso were assessed for 19 body measurements during two different years (2014 and 2018). The aim of this research was to identify temporal morphological variation in cattle bred in the humid southern zones to obtain empirical evidence supporting a possible introgression of zebu cattle genes into Gourounsi and Lobi taurine cattle breeds. Zebu cattle samples were used as out-group for both 2014 and 2018 subsets. Least square means of body measurements allowed to classify Burkina Faso taurine cattle into three subgroups according to body size (Gourounsi–Sanguié –GourS-, Gourounsi-Nahouri –GourN- and Lobi from the tallest to the smallest respectively). Principal Component Analysis suggested that in 2014, taurine populations were structured. Dispersion map constructed using the two first factors informed that the GourS population was well separated from both the Lobi and the GourN, which, in turn, overlapped. However, in 2018 a strong signal of homogenization was identified, with GourN partially overlapping the other two populations. Linear Discriminant Analysis suggested that about 20% of both GourS and GourN individuals were reciprocally misclassified. Clues for such increase have been pointed out by MANOVA analysis. Although on 2014, Lobi cattle was clearly smaller than Gourounsi and both GourS and GourN populations showed clear differences on body traits, on 2018 it could be assessed an increase in size in Lobi cattle and a strong homogenization signal within Gourounsi cattle. Zebu cattle gene flow southwards in Burkina Faso is likely to have caused these changes, suggesting a fast erosion of taurine cattle genetic background.

The EU Maritime Regime and Challenges for Land-locked Developing States: Evidence from Ethiopia
Authors: Shale Tessema Elias 
Published: February 2021

EU plays a dominant role in international maritime governance, and it has comprehensive maritime policies and strategies that have implications for third States. On the other hand, developing landlocked States (LLS) have the lowest bargaining power in the international maritime arena owing to their economic and geographic position. This article examines the implications of the EU maritime policy for developing LLS. After analysis of primary and secondary data as well as empirical evidence from Ethiopia, it is argued that the EU maritime governance such as its port State control regime and maritime market access regulations could possibly make international maritime trade through the EU waters as well as global maritime trade unaffordable for developing LLS. In view of the inherent challenges encountered by developing LLS and the economic interest of these States, it is submitted that there is a need to accord differential treatment schemes in the maritime field to these States at global as well as at the EU level.

"Mōko Shūrai Ekotoba" (Illustrated Account of the Mongol Invasions)
Authors: Testa Giuseppina Aurora 
Published: February 2021

This paper is a study of a Japanese illustrated handscroll produced in the late Kamakura period (1185-1333), the Mōko Shūrai Ekotoba, that provides an invaluable pictorial account of the two attempted Mongol invasions of Japan in the years 1274 and 1281. It was copied and restored, with some images significantly altered, during the Edo period (1615-1868). While in the original handscroll the appearances of the foreign Mongols were depicted as accurately as possible, the figures added later show exaggerated features and distortions that correspond to new modes of imagining and representing peoples reflecting a new language and the shifting cosmologies brought about by the Japanese encounter with more “different” Others (Europeans).
La geometría del códice y su semiótica
Authors: Sánchez Prieto Ana Belén 
Published: February 2021

La impaginación o mise en page de un libro consiste en un diseño realizado mediante diversos rectángulos que normalmente guardan entre sí ciertas proporciones definidas. En la actualidad los tamaños y proporciones de estos rectángulos están determinados por razones prácticas y estéticas, pero en la Edad Media la Geometría estaba considerada como un medio de meditación metafísica. Este artículo considera posibles interpretaciones metafísicas para las medidas y los rectángulos proporcionales según aparecen en muchos manuscritos medievales.
The Iconography of the Coronation of the Virgin in Late Medieval Italian Painting
Authors: Salvador González José María 
Published: February 2021

This paper aims to highlight the artistic and conceptual relevance acquired by the iconographic theme of The Coronation of the Virgin in Italy during the Late Middle Ages. To achieve this goal we analyzed twenty-seven Trecento and Quattrocento paintings, with the purpose of discovering in them the more or less innovative compositional formulas proposed by these artists, as well as the possible literary sources that inspired them. From the formal perspective we have discovered three different iconographic types, which complement themselves mutually, as progressively complex variations of a similar basic structure. From the conceptual perspective we could also specify that these three different iconographic types of The Coronation of the Virgin in Italy are inspired directly in specific comments by some Church Fathers and medieval theologians.
La inutilidad del placer
Authors: Cañas Pérez Alberto 
Published: February 2021

El término vanitas ha estado muy presente a lo largo de la Historia del Arte, siendo la base de un género cuyo mensaje principal giraba en torno al desprecio de la vida terrenal, debido a que lo único certero en este mundo es nuestra muerte. Este género se desarrolló a través de una serie de elementos de gran carga simbólica, como la calavera, las flores, los instrumentos de medición del tiempo y, no menos importante, los instrumentos musicales. El presente artículo tratará de demostrar la importancia de este género y de los elementos que lo componen durante la Edad Media y la Edad Moderna, prestando especial atención a los instrumentos de música. Para finalizar, se mostrará el análisis iconográfico- musical de dos lienzos de vanitates del llamado Siglo de Oro español, como ejemplo de otro punto de vista desde el que analizar este tipo de cuadros.

Published: February 2021

Las trans femeninas VIH positivo enfrentan discriminación en los servicios de salud, misma que conlleva exclusión en el acceso a servicios de prevención y tratamiento que genera mayores tasas de morbilidad y mortalidad. Este problema de salud pública puede ser resuelto pues las muertes por tuberculosis pulmonar y la tuberculosis latente pueden evitarse con tratamiento profiláctico de bajo costo.
En américa latina se han realizado pocos estudios de coinfección en trans femeninas y en Nicaragua existen pocos antecedentes de investigaciones científicas que aporten información para toma de decisiones en el abordaje de este problema de salud.
El presente trabajo fue realizado en Managua en el período noviembre 2017 a abril 2018. Tuvo como propósito analizar los factores que inciden en el acceso de atención a la salud de las personas trans VIH positivo en Managua. El mismo adoptó el paradigma cuantitativo y que incluyó la realización de una encuesta a 61 trans femeninas VIH positivo.
Los resultados representan un aporte científico para comprender la situación que viven este grupo poblacional de la diversidad sexual a fin de sensibilizar a las autoridades nacionales de salud, a la comunidad científica nacional e internacional, así como a la sociedad en general.

Published: February 2021

El objetivo de la investigación era seleccionar el género con mayor actividad enzimática mediante la utilización de aceite de cocinar usado como única fuente de sustrato, por lo que se aislaron hongos del aceite de cocinar usado y de suelos contaminados por talleres mecánicos. Las muestras se inocularon en medios generales para hongos (agar PDA), al obtener cultivos axénicos fueron inoculados en agar tributirín, los géneros se identificaron mediante microscopía de campo claro y contraste de fase. En el medio selectivo se consideró como indicador de géneros lipolíticos, la presencia de halo alrededor de la colonia o cristalización cercana a la colonia. Los géneros identificados en suelo fueron Fusarium y Aspergillus, en el aceite se identificó el género Aspergillus. Se realizaron ensayos con aireación, sin aireación, en los ensayos sin aireación se evaluó la interacción entre los géneros aislados del suelo a lo que llamamos consorcio. La actividad enzimática en la primera fase para el género Aspergillus en ensayos sin aireación, aislado del aceite fue de 0.0148(U/ml). Para Aspergillus y Fusarium aislados del suelo la actividad enzimática fue de 0.0051 y 0.0055 (U/ml) respectivamente; en el consorcio fue de 0.003 U/ml. El género Aspergillus aislado del aceite presentó mayor actividad enzimática fue seleccionado para la segunda fase de medición de actividad lipolítica. La mayor actividad enzimática 0.0777 (U/ml) se obtuvo a las 144 horas, cuando el cultivo fue evaluado con aireación ∕ alimentación continua. Cuando los cultivos eran aireados ∕ alimentación discontinua, la actividad enzimática fue similar a la alcanzada sin aireación (0.026 y 0.034 (U/ml) respectivamente). Estos resultados sugieren que los géneros estudiados son capaces de utilizar el aceite de cocinar usado como única fuente de carbono para sus procesos metabólicos.
New Insights into the Origin of the World-Class Jinding Sediment-Hosted Zn-Pb Deposit, Southwestern China: Evidence from LA-ICP-MS Analysis of Individual Fluid Inclusions

Abstract
The Jinding deposit in the Lanping basin, southwest China, is the largest sandstone-hosted Zn deposit in the world and the second largest Zn-Pb deposit in China. However, questions related to the metal compositions and origin of the ore fluids remain. In this study, microthermometry and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasmamass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) were employed to determine the properties and compositions of individual fluid inclusions trapped in sphalerite and calcite. The results show that the fluid inclusions trapped in sphalerite and calcite have similar homogenization temperatures (79°–173°C with the majority 100°–130°C), salinities (10.3–29.1 wt % NaCl + CaCl2 equiv with the majority 24.5–27.4 wt % NaCl + CaCl2 equiv), and concentrations of alkali and alkali earth elements (e.g., Na, Ca, Mg, K, Sr, Ba, Li, Rb, and Cs). However, the concentrations of ore and associated metals (e.g., Pb, Sb, Ag, and Tl) in the fluid inclusions hosted by sphalerite are significantly higher than those hosted by calcite. Based on these observations, we propose that the sulfides including sphalerite were precipitated from a low-temperature, high-salinity, Ca-rich, metal-rich fluid, while the gangue minerals such as calcite crystallized subsequently from fluids depleted in metals due to prior precipitation of sulfides, and that the high salinities of the fluid inclusions are likely due to a combination of seawater evaporation and subsequent dissolution of evaporitic sequences during fluid percolation. The LA-ICP-MS analyses reveal that the fluid inclusions have K/Na, Rb/Na, and Cs/Na ratios within the range of modern basinal brines, and Li/Na, Ba/Na, and Ca/Na ratios share similar compositions with the ore fluids of basement interacted deposits in the world. The Jinding ore fluids contain ~200 to 650 ppm Pb, based on the data of fluid inclusions trapped in sphalerite. The estimated concentrations of Zn in the ore fluids are also very high at ~200 to 6,500 ppm. Our results reveal that anomalously metal rich fluids played a critical role in the formation of the giant Jinding sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposit. We concur with the previous suggestion that sulfide precipitation at Jinding occurred when ascending metal-rich brines encountered an H2S-rich, Ca-rich fluid, which was produced by interaction of hydrocarbons with evaporites, in the cap of the Jinding dome.
Impact Brassinolide on Two Fig Varieties
Authors: Mardinata Zulias , Mardaleni  , Edy Sabli Tengku 
Published: February 2021

Brassinolide (BL) is a plant hormone showing wide occurrence in the plant kingdom with unique biological effects on growth and physiological traits. The fig varieties, Improved Brown Turkey (IBT) and Masui Dauphine (MD), are commonly found in Indonesia and Malaysia. There is limited information on exogenous brassinolide application on these varieties. In this chapter, we present the effect of different concentration of exogenous application of BL on growth and physiological changes of fig. Increasing BL concentration (50, 100, and 200 ml.L−1) caused some differences in growth and physiological changes of fig, but the differences were not consistent and most of the changes happened only in first or second month. Cultivar IBT showed higher growth and physiological changes than cultivar MD after receiving brassinolide treatment. There was significant effect of interaction between brassinolide and variety on growth and physiological changes of fig except in plant height and total dry biomass.
Impact of Biofeedback Interventions on Driving Performance in Individuals with Persistent Post-Concussive Symptoms
Authors: M. Bonn Marquise , Alvarez Liliana , W.G. Thompson James , P. Dickey James 
Published: February 2021

Low resolution electromagnetic tomography (LoRETA) neurofeedback and heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback may improve driving ability by enhancing attention, impulse control, and peripheral vision, and reducing stress. However, it is unclear whether combined LoRETA neurofeedback and HRV biofeedback can improve driving performance for individuals experiencing persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS). In this study, seven individuals with PPCS completed an eight-week LoRETA neurofeedback and HRV biofeedback intervention. Changes in participants’ simulated driving performance and self-reported symptoms were measured and compared to two control groups: individuals with PPCS (n = 9), and healthy control participants (n = 8). Individuals in the intervention and PPCS control groups reported reduced PPCS severity (p < .05) compared to healthy control participants. Interestingly, individuals in the intervention group responded variably. These results indicate that more research is necessary to identify the subgroup of individuals that respond to LoRETA neurofeedback and HRV biofeedback and confirm these preliminary results.
