Abstract
Service provision backlogs in access to improved water and sanitation services remain a key barrier to the health and well-being of people living in Nairobi's slum areas. In this paper, we use quantitative data from the Nairobi Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System to analyze the extent to which residents of Nairobi's slum areas have been able to access improved water and sanitation services from 2003 to 2015. This trend analysis reveals a slow but observable increase in access to improved sanitation facilities and garbage disposal services, while access to improved sources of water decreased. We conclude that the best scenario is the one in which all the three indicators have significantly improved during the period under consideration rather than having only some of them improving, while the others stagnate or decline. We recommend that Nairobi City Council and sector development partners refocus their attention towards increasing access to improved water and sanitation services in the urban low-income areas because lack of access to these essential services may expose people to waterborne diseases. It also threatens to leave behind a substantial number of people as the country moves towards the attainment of the water and sanitation-related sustainable development goals.

Published: June 2019

The present work demonstrates the effects of moist cold stratification on seed dormancy breaking in Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna Jacq.). We also examined the fruit and seed morphology. Mature and ripe fruits were collected, the pulp removed and the seeds (stones) left in the sun to dry for three days. Four temperature regimes viz. 4°C, 6.5°C (natural conditions where the fruits were harvested), 10°C and 20°C were used for stimulating seed germination under total darkness. For each treatment, there were four replicates with 50 seeds incubated in a plastic container between two layers of moist sand at 15%. At the end of the experiment, non-germinating seeds were tested for viability using Tetrazolium chloride (TZ). After 4 months, the final germination (FGP) was expressed as a percentage of the total number of seeds in each treatment. The fruits of Hawthorn were 14.9 ± 0.73 mm long and 15.1 ± 0.84 mm in diameter and weigh 2.05 ± 0.28 g. The seeds were 8.29 ± 0.43 mm long and 6.75 ± 0.39 mm in diameter and weigh (0.25 ± 0.04) g. The thousand-fruit weight was 2,000 g and of the thousand-seeds weight was 280 g. The statistical analysis indicated significant effect (p < 0.0001) of treatment on seed germination. Dormancy in this species was broken most effectively by cold stratification at 4°C and under natural conditions with 76% and 67.5% of FGP, respectively. Most of the nongerminated seeds of C. monogyna were viable (dormant) as judged by TZ.

Published: June 2019

<p>El derecho a buscar y recibir asilo constituye uno de los derechos humanos cuya relevancia histórica, política, social y religiosa se ha sucedido a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad. Desde una prerrogativa de los pueblos sustentada en valores religiosos, pasando a ser tratada como un concepto asociado al ejercicio de la soberanía estatal, evoluciona hasta su consagración en la normativa internacional -universal y regional- como un derecho humano básico inherente a toda persona. Sin embargo, no puede hacerse a un lado la necesidad de su análisis a los fines de establecer en la evolución normativa y de aplicación práctica, su vigencia en igualdad de condiciones para hombres y mujeres.</p><div> </div>

Propiedad intelectual y comercio internacional
Authors: Piña Mondragón José Joaquín 
Published: June 2019

<p>Tradicionalmente, los cánones comerciales han rechazado toda forma de piratería o falsificación, fabricación o comercialización de productos sin la autorización del titular del derecho de propiedad intelectual. Al respecto, los diversos Tratados multilaterales y regionales suscritos en la materia, han reconocido la necesidad de establecer estándares de protección a dichos derechos, que garanticen el comercio de productos legítimos, sin constituir obstáculos innecesarios al comercio entre los distintos territorios. En ese sentido, en el ámbito nacional, se implementaron las llamadas medidas en frontera, a través de un procedimiento consistente en que las autoridades aduaneras, previa resolución de la autoridad administrativa o judicial competente, suspenden la libre circulación de mercancías de procedencia extranjera, hasta en tanto se determina si existe o no violación a los derechos de propiedad intelectual. </p><div> </div>

Authors: S M Uvaneswaran , Zemen Tsega , Muhammed Seid 
Published: June 2019

This aims of this paper is to examine the effects of social accounting practices on the financial performance of business organizations in the city of Dessie, South Wollo, Ethiopia. To fulfill this objective, a stratified-random sampling design was used, followed by proportional sampling techniques. The research data were obtained from primary and secondary sources and analyzed using multiple linear regression to understand the effect of corporate social responsibility accounting practices on financial performance. The results of the study indicated that report on social accounting was indeed necessary, however, there was no standard guideline followed when reporting except the Ethiopian commercial code and statement of socio-economic operations. Likewise, the observation during this research showed that an increase in corporate social responsibility scores would lead to an increase in the company's financial performance.
Population Control, Deadly Vaccines, and Mutant Mosquitoes: The Construction and Circulation of Zika Virus Conspiracy Theories Online
Authors: Mitchell Scott S.D. 
Published: June 2019

Background Disease outbreaks are often accompanied by sensationalist news media coverage, social media panic, and a barrage of conspiracy theories and misinformation. The Zika virus outbreak of 2015ߝ2016 followed this pattern. Analysis Drawing on frame analysis, this article examines the construction and circulation of a conspiracy theory concerning the 2015ߝ2016 Zika outbreak, analyzing the flow of misinformation across online platforms including “conspiracy” websites, online discussion threads, and Twitter. Conclusion and implications Conspiracy theories produced and shared on social and digital media platforms have the power to discursively construct contagious diseases such as Zika, which may fuel misguided public perceptions and impact health policy.
The Microbiome as TED Knows It: Popular Science Communication and the Neoliberal Subject
Authors: Ironstone Penelope 
Published: June 2019

Background Although criticized for a variety of reasons, TED platforms and conventions have been engaged, often uncritically, as tools for popular science communication. This article critically examines four TED Talks that engage the relatively recent biomedical concept of the human microbiome. Analysis Neoliberal values underpin both the TED universe and the marketization of science. TED conventions produce a discursive regularity that brings together neoliberal subjectivity and bioeconomic imperatives of contemporary scientific research. This neoliberalization is supported by uncritically championing citizen science and the so-called democratization of science alongside crowdsourcing and crowdfunding appeals. Conclusions and implications Uncritically embracing TED Talks can implicate science communication in the reproduction of problematic ideological positions that favour economic interests over the social good or even individual health.
Visualizing Ebola: Hazmat Suit Imagery, the Press, and the Production of Biosecurity
Authors: Gerlach Neil A. 
Published: June 2019

Background Examining press coverage of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa in 2014, this article analyzes the work of the hazmat suit as a visual signifier of disease.Analysis Hazmat imagery from Africa operated to make the disease visible, both “othering” it and contributing to fantasies of containment. In American imagery, the suit became a figure of biosecurity and reassurance, while also connoting the prospect of American “diseaseability.”Conclusion and implications African hazmat imagery reinforced pre-existing schema for understanding Ebola within a news category while American imagery straddled the boundary between the geography of disease fear and the imagined immunological community, potentially destabilizing press narratives of reassurance.
Desafios democráticos à construção e implementação de indicadores: o caso do Programa Cidades Sustentáveis
Authors: Melo Danilo , Van Bellen Hans Michael 
Published: June 2019

O conceito de Cidades Sustentáveis, que poderia ser a princípio um oximoro, tem sido amplamente utilizado no campo teórico e das práticas, inclusive pelo governo. No Brasil, a partir de 2012, a sociedade civil organizada promove o Programa Cidades Sustentáveis (PCS) que tem por objetivo funcionar como uma agenda para a sustentabilidade e tem como um de seus fundamentos os indicadores para monitoramento das metas de gestão pública. Este artigo procura compreender o processo de construção e implementação desses indicadores, a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas com atores da sociedade civil organizada que apoiam municípios no desenvolvimento do plano de metas e escolha/coleta de indicadores. Percebemos que o PCS avança ao destacar a importância de indicadores como instrumento de gestão no nível municipal e desenvolver bases de dados, no entanto, ainda encontra desafios quanto ao data-driveness, à governança dos indicadores, sobretudo em comunicar e traduzir uma noção clara de sustentabilidade.
Desregulación emocional en población con TDAH; una aproximación teórica/Emotional dysregulation in the population with ADHD. A Theoretical Approach
Authors: Alpizar Alejandra 
Published: June 2019

EspañolEl trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH) constituye un trastorno del neurodesarrollo, cuyos síntomas nucleares constituyen la inatención, la hiperactividad y la impulsividad. Esta última puede ser verbal, motora y cognitiva, también emocional. Se expresa por la desregulación emocional y afecta la capacidad de autorregularse emocionalmente e inhibir las emociones. Por lo anterior, el objetivo de este documento es realizar una aproximación teórica-descriptiva desde diferentes autores sobre la desregulación emocional presente en la población con TDAH. Es importante la revisión de este concepto, porque la regulación emocional constituye una de las funciones ejecutivas que se afecta en las personas con TDAH al originar un impacto en el funcionamiento personal y social a lo largo de la vida. A partir de la revisión, se concluyó que hay un auge en el estudio y el análisis de este tema en la comunidad científica en las últimas décadas, que validan la importancia del conocimiento y del abordaje de la desregulación emocional en esta población, pues brinda elementos clínicos que facilitan el diagnóstico diferencial y la identificación de comorbilidades que este trastorno podría presentar. Finalmente, la desregulación emocional, junto con la inatención, la hiperactividad y la impulsividad constituyen parte de los síntomas que deben considerarse en el tratamiento multimodal del TDAH.English Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, whose nuclear symptoms constitute inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity, the latter may be verbal, motor and cognitive, but also emotional, expressed by emotional dysregulation, which affects a person’s ability to emotionally self-regulate and inhibit emotions. Therefore, the objective of this document is to take a descriptive theoretical approach from different authors about the emotional dysregulation present in the population with ADHD. It is important to review this concept since emotional regulation is one of the Executive Functions that is affected in people with ADHD, causing an impact on the person and their social functioning throughout life. From this review, we concluded that there has been a boom in the study and analysis of this topic in the scientific community during the last decade. This validates the importance of knowledge about and approach to emotional dysregulation in this population, since it provides clinical elements that facilitate differential diagnoses and the identification of comorbidities that this disorder could present. Finally, emotional dysregulation, along with inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity, is part of the symptoms that should be considered in the multimodal treatment of ADHD.

It is important to run a family therapy alongside treatment of a patient with depression. The patient's family commits quite a frequent mistake of treating depression complaints as a manifestation of laziness, fatigue and ill will. There are two stages in education. In the first one, the essence of depression to the patient and his family is explained. The second stage of education is to draw attention to the mental and social sphere of the patient. This stage consists of two phases: psychological and social. Therapeutic communication is a specific form of communication. Help is directed to people who cannot make order in their own emotions, thoughts and perceive correctly the surrounding reality. The purpose of communication is also to facilitate the patient's expression of emotions. Therefore, therapeutic communication of a healing nature is the basis for helping mentally ill patients. Suicide is usually committed on impulse in the first, acute phase of depression or after entering the latent phase. Suicide is now considered a multidimensional phenomenon, resulting from the complex interaction of biological, psychological, sociological and environmental factors. The psychological state of people with suicidal tendencies is characterized by three characteristics: ambivalence, impulsiveness, stiffness. Suicide in children and adolescents is of the utmost importance

Published: June 2019

Abstract
The titanium bioactivity could be increased by surface nanostructuring. Titanium alloys are using for dental implants manufacturing. It represents a specific problem because of using of the dental treatments with high concentration of fluoride ions and with acidic pH. The corrosion resistance of nanostructured surface of titanium beta alloy in environments with fluoride ions was examined by common electrochemical technique. The electrochemical impedance measurement showed high corrosion resistance in physiological solution. The fluoride ions have expected negative influence on corrosion behaviour of the layer. The nanotube bottom was preferentially attacked which resulted in layer undercoroding and its detachment.
Antifeedant, horizontal transfer and repellent activities of free and microencapsulated food grade antioxidants against postharvest pest insects (Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Linnaeus, 1758) and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst, 1797)) (Coleoptera: Silvanidae, Tenebrionidae) of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) (Fabaceae)

Abstract
The aims of this work were to evaluate antifeedant, horizontal transfer and repellent activities of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), free and microencapsulated, at different doses against Oryzaephilus surinamensis and Tribolium castaneum on peanut kernels. In general, negative values for the percentage feeding deterrence index (FDI) were found for Oryzaephilus surinamensis in the presence of these chemical treatments, suggesting a phagostimulant activity. In addition, untreated individuals died within 20 days of coming into contact with insects previously exposed to both antioxidants (BHA and BHT) and formulations (F- BHA and F-BHT), regardless of the dose, while the insects in the controls died after this time. Since this work revealed evidence for the transfer of both free and microencapsulated antioxidants from treated to untreated individuals, we can confirm that horizontal transfer of these compounds takes place between treated and untreated insects. The evaluated compounds showed no repellent activity against O. surinamensis, which continued unaffected with its life cycle on both treated and untreated peanuts. On the other hand, Tribolium castaneum exhibited high FDI values, especially for the formulations, with mean values of 0.68 and 0.91 for F-BHA and F-BHT, respectively. No horizontal transfer was observed for this insect, but repellency was higher than 80% for free and encapsulated BHT. We can conclude that the mechanism of insecticidal action of antioxidants and their formulations was dependent on the type of insect evaluated. The insecticidal effect on Oryzaephilus surinamensis could have been due to the direct intake of the chemical compounds added, whereas the negative effect on Tribolium castaneum could have been caused by starvation.
