Analysis of HIV Treatment Cascade Among Key Affected Population in Lagos, Nigeria.
Authors: Afe Abayomi Joseph , Onyema Maduakolam , Ojoye Adewunmi O , Iwuoha Esther 
Published: September 2019

Background: Key populations are defined groups who, due to specific higher-risk behaviour, are at increased risk of HIV infection irrespective of the epidemic type or local context. Also, they often have legal and social issues related to their behaviour that increase their vulnerability to HIV. In Nigeria, Key population (KP) groups account for a significant portion of new HIV infections. Directly, FSW, MSM and PWID, who constitute an estimated 1% of the adult Nigerian population, contribute nearly 23% of new HIV infections. About 20% of infections may be attributed to female sex workers, their clients and client partners alone, of which three-fourths may be attributable to brothel-based FSWs. People who inject drugs (PWID), MSM and their partners respectively contribute about 9% and 10% of the annual new infections. These KPs and their partners together, who constitute an estimated 3.4% of the adult population, contribute as much as 40% of new infections
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of the programmatic data of an HIV intervention projects among the three key populations in 15 local government areas (LGA) in Lagos, Nigeria, between October 2018 and June 2019.
Findings: Among the MSM, HIV positivity rate was 9.6 % (2.9% to 15.2%), about 96% were linked and initiated on antiretroviral drugs (ARV). Six months ART retention rate was 95%. For the FSW, the HIV infection rate was of 5% (1.4% -12.9%) and a linkage and ART initiation rate was 96.5% while the six month ART retention rate was 92% . Among the male PWID the HIV positivity rate was 1.4%. (0.4%- 17.3%) while the female PWID HIV positivity rate was 8.14%, which was 8 times the average positivity rate among the male PWID. Linkage and ART initiation rate was 100% among HIV positive PWID but only 50% were still active in care 6months after initiation (ART retention rate).
Conclusions: Having attained over 90% ARV initiation and retention rates among MSM, FSW and PWID on the project, achieving the 3rd UNAIDS target of 90% viral suppression in the groups is very much possible with appropriate programming. Also engaging social support service such as the use of peers as case managers is associated with excellent 6 month retention outcome.

Ex situ conservation storage potential of Saxifraga cernua (Saxifragaceae) bulbils from alpine species
Authors: Breman Elinor , Détraz-Méroz Jacqueline , Terry Janet , Lambelet Catherine 
Published: September 2019

AbstractIn high latitude and alpine environments many plants show an increase in viviparous reproduction in response to harsh environmental conditions. Low or no seed set means that ex situ conservation in the form of seed banking is not a conservation option for such species. We investigated the potential for bulbils to be stored ex situ in seed banks using traditional storage methods (drying and freezing at −20 °C) and cryopreservation (drying and freezing at −180 °C) as a means of ensuring the long-term conservation of such species. In addition, the impact of drying bulbils to 15% eRH or maintaining initial humidity (60% eRH) was investigated. The study was based on bulbils of the drooping or nodding saxifrage (Saxifraga cernua) collected in Bellalui (commune d’Icogne, Switzerland) at an altitude of 2200 m.a.s.l. Our findings suggest that conservation under traditional seed banking methods or by cryopreservation is a viable option for species producing small (<2 mm) bulbils. This provides new hope for conserving high altitude or latitude plants producing bulbils.

Published: September 2019

RESUMOO presente estudo objetiva contextualizar a formação de um conceito para nanotecnologias, suas potencialidades, seus benefícios e examinar a legislação brasileira sobre nanotecnologia e as propostas do legislativo para sua regulamentação. O estudo é de caráter exploratório e descritivo com apoio no método sistêmico-construtivista para contextualizar as nanotecnologias no sistema econômico e no sistema do Direito, seus riscos e benefícios. A pesquisa aponta que não há uma regulação específica para as nanotecnologias no Brasil, a exemplo da maioria dos países. Regular as nanotecnologias é um dos maiores desafios do sistema político, jurídico e econômico, considerando as peculiaridades das características físico-química dos nanomateriais, seus potenciais riscos e seu interesse comercial. A nível mundial, observa-se que organizações internacionais privadas implementaram estratégias de autorregulação mais voltadas para boas práticas e que desempenham uma função importante na regulação das nanotecnologias, as quais, mesmo tendo aplicações volitivas pelas empresas e pelos governos, são bem aceitas por eles e bem vistas pelos consumidores.Palavras-chave: Nanotecnologia. Regulamentação. Autorregulação. ABSTRACTThe present study aims to contextualize the formation of a concept for nanotechnologies, their potentialities, their benefits and to examine the Brazilian legislation on nanotechnology and the legislative proposals for its regulation. The study is exploratory and descriptive with support of the systemic-constructivist method to contextualize nanotechnologies in the economic system and in the legal system, its risks and benefits. The research points that there is not a specific regulation for nanotechnologies in Brazil, such as most countries. Regulating nanotechnologies is one of the major challenges of the political, legal and economic system, considering the peculiarities of the nanomaterials’ physico-chemical characteristics, their potential risks and their commercial interest. At the global level, it is possible to observe that private international organizations have implemented self-regulation strategies more focused on good practices, and, that has an important role in nanotechnologies’ regulation, which, even if it is volitional applied by companies and governments, it is well accepted by them and well seen by the consumers.Keywords: Nanotecnologia.

Authors: Mejia Gutiérrez Jaime 
Published: September 2019

En la formación de la república de Colombia, hay un fenómeno especial y es el de la fundación de instituciones universitarias privadas, laicas y libres que reaccionaron ante el poder de las elites políticas aliadas con la Iglesia católica, que impusieron con la constitución política de 1886, la educación confesional. Estas universidades, la Republicana, El Externado de Derecho buscaban la verdad científica, siguiendo el modelo de la Universidad libre de Berlín. Las elites dirigentes criollas que las crearon con sus discursos liberales, suscribieron proyectos educativos transformadores de los sistemas de educación que se suponían deberían servir para formar mentalidades modernas, capaces de asumir la dirección de la cultura, el Estado, las instituciones y la transformación política de la nación de manera pacífica. Las ideas del liberalismo, del positivismo, del pacifismo construyen una Universidad que intervino en los procesos políticos, económicos, legales, culturales de Colombia en un contexto de guerras civiles y promoción de la paz, además de la defensa del libre pensamiento en concordancia con el modelo alemán creado por Humboldt. Esta ponencia analiza, como resultado de investigación que el autor ha hecho sobre esta institución educativa que contribuyo en la esfera de la educación universitaria en Colombia, a los profesores, a los alumnos, a los proyectos educativos de esta entidad educativa en los años de finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del siglo XX.

Counts data models cope with the response variable counts, where the number of times that a certain event occurs in a fixed point is called count data, its observations consists of non-negative integers values {0,1,2,…}. Because of the nature of count data, the response variables are usually considered doing not follow normal distribution. Therefore, linear regression is not an appropriate method to analysis count data due to the skewed distribution. Hence, using linear regression model to analysis count data is likely to bias the results, under these limitations, Poisson regression model and “Negative binomial regression” are likely the appropriate models to analysis count data. Sometimes researchers may Counts more zeros than the expected. Count data with many Zeros leads to a concept called “Zero-inflation”. Data with abundant zeros are especially popular in health, marketing, finance, econometric, ecology, statistics quality control, geographical, and environmental fields when counting the occurrence of certain behavioral and natural events, such as frequency of alcohol use, take drugs, number of cigarettes smoked, the occurrence of earthquakes, rainfall, and etc. Some models have been used to analyzing count data such as the “zero- altered Poisson” (ZAP) model and the “negative binomial” model. In this paper, the models, Poisson, Negative Binomial, ZAP, and ZANB were been used to analyze rainfall data.

ABSTRACT
Peanut is an important oilseed crop and legume species, with more than 1.9 M tons produced annually in the U.S. Being indeterminate, peanut continually flowers and sets pods throughout the growing season, leading to the potential harvest of both mature and immature pods. To quantify the physiological impacts of peanut seed maturity, a two-year field study was conducted to elucidate the difference in canopy structure and reproductive characteristics, including flower production, yield, and grade between seed obtained from immature and mature seed of two commercial peanut cultivars: TUFRunner™ ‘727’ and FloRun™ ‘107’. Data indicated that seed from the yellow class of pods have lower vigor and overall plant development and performance; further, plants developed from immature seed never achieved a level of performance comparable to that of the mature brown/black pod classes. There were differences between cultivars in the severity of the impact of immaturity, with larger detrimental effects on immature TUFRunner™ ‘727’, which exhibited reduced emergence. Despite these cultivar differences, this study illustrated that mature seed performs better in a field setting than immature seed. These results are critically important to disproving the ‘catch-up' assumption: seed maturity not only has an impact on emergence, but on subsequent life history and performance traits through the remainder of the season.

'Something Inaudible': Roland Barthes' Concept of Listening and Literary Music
Authors: Behr Eric T. 
Published: September 2019

This essay considers Roland Barthes' three types of listening and how they relate to avante garde music as well as novels that present formats subversive to the typical narratives expected of the medium. Both Anthony Burgess's Mozart and the Wolf Gang and Kirsty Gunn's The Big Music are novels that present an experience more in harmony with avante garde music than their own medium by bringing attention to the rhythm, cadence and phonetic relationships of the language rather than their narrative arcs. These novels demand an altogether seperate manner of reading, or listening, than the act of deciphering usually associated with texts.

Published: September 2019

Purpose: To evaluate safety, efficacy and clinical outcomes after photovaporization of the prostate with the 180W-XPS Greenlight laser in patients with low urinary tracts symptom secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Materials and Methods: All 102 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms who underwent 180W XPS laser vaporization of the prostate from April 2017 to April 2018 were enrolled. The preoperative parameters, postoperative functional, uroflowmetry outcomes and complications were collected. Results: All patients were successfully treated with 180W XPS laser vaporization. Mean preoperative prostate volume was 81±28.7 ml and mean laser time was 28.2±12.5 minutes. No major complications intraoperatively or postoperatively were observed and no blood transfusions were required. Comparing to preoperative characteristics, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), maximum flow rate (Qmax) and post-void residual (PVR) parameters were improved significantly and sustained during the follow-up period. At 3, 6 and 12-month follow-ups, mean urinary peak flow increased from 6.2±2.1 ml per second to 19.8±4.6, 19.4±4.7 and 19.6±4.9 ml per second, respectively. Mean International Prostate Symptom Scores decreased over time, from 28.9±4.5 to 8.2±1.6, 6.2±1.22 and 5.88±1.15 at 3, 6, 12 months, respectively. Conclusions: 180W XPS Greenlight laser vaporization is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to BPH.
