Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND:
Intestinal parasitic infections remain prevalent in Viet Nam. Therefore, ensuring quality assurance in intestinal parasite testing is crucial for screening laboratories. The challenges associated with liquid or glass slide samples necessitate the exploration of digital slide applications, which can offer numerous benefits to program suppliers and participants.

OBJECTIVES:
Compare the true and concordance rates of digital and glass slides for diagnosis.

DESIGN:
Experimental research design.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
In total, 30 medical professionals from 30 hospitals participated in the trial. The sets of slides encompassed a range of densities, including negative and coinfected slides. Seven types of glass slides were selected for scanning and digital slide production.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
The primary outcomes were true and concordance variables. Secondary outcomes included time sample sending and time completion. The digital slides were uploaded to a secure website for participant access while glass slides were sent individually by mail. Data collection involved participants analyzing specimens and reporting their results using a scoring method based on parasite detection and identification accuracy.

SAMPLE SIZE:
210 glass and digital slide-reading results each.

RESULTS:
The mean true rate between original and glass slides diagnosis was 97.6% (range 90.0%–100%), and it slightly increased to 98.1% (range 90.0%–100%) when using digital slides. The average concordance diagnosis rate between glass and digital slides was 99.5%. Importantly, there were no differences in the diagnostic results between glass and digital slides. The findings revealed that the use of digital slides reduced the total time required by approximately 1.1 days compared with that of glass slides.

CONCLUSION:
Altogether, the application of digital slides in the external quality assessment program for intestinal parasites offers convenience for users through online platforms and saves operational time process.

LIMITATIONS:
The small sample size in this experimental study limited the statistical significance of the comparisons.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND:
Hepatitis A infections continue to be a major global public health problem. The epidemiology and seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus (HAV) have important public health implications. This study aimed to retrospectively examine the hepatitis A cases and hepatitis A seroprevalence in our region in our hospital with the highest number of inpatient and outpatient cases in Istanbul.

OBJECTIVE:
Determination of hepatitis A cases and seroprevalence.

DESIGN:
Cross-sectional.

SETTING:
Tertiary care.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
A total of 39 385 individuals who were tested for Anti-HAV IgM and Anti-HAV Total (IgM+IgG) antibodies between May 2020 and September 2023 and were included in this study. Hepatitis A specific IgM and Total (IgM+IgG) antibodies were determined using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE:
Hepatitis A seroprevalence.

SAMPLE SIZE:
46 721

RESULTS:
The study included a total of 46 721 samples from 39 385 individuals who were tested for hepatitis A serology. The median age of the 39385 individuals included in the study was 28 (interquartile range [IQR]; 22–46), with 58.74% being female and 4.07% (n=1163) being foreign nationals. Reactivity was detected in 91 of the 25 442 patients tested for HAV-IgM. Among these patients, 33 (0.13%) had acute hepatitis A infection, while 58 (0.23%) were considered false positives. Of the acute hepatitis A patients, 13 (0.09%) were women, and 22 (0.80%) were children. Acute hepatitis A was most commonly observed in the 6–9 and 15–18 age groups, with 7 cases each. The seroprevalence rate of hepatitis A was 67.23% among 33 683 individuals. Of those tested for HAV-Total, 13 132 (64.92%) were women, and 2533 (64.88%) were children. The lowest seroprevalence rate among age groups (35.91%) was in the 15–18 age year range, while the highest seroprevalence (98.34%) was detected in individuals aged 60 years and above.

CONCLUSION:
With a seroprevalence rate of 67.23%, our region is still considered a medium-endemic area for hepatitis A, and it is crucial to continue administering the HAV vaccine as currently included in the childhood vaccination schedule in our country. Additionally, the significantly low hepatitis A seropositivity, particularly in the 15–18 and 19–24 age groups, indicates the need to promote catch-up vaccination for young adults. Since our study covers a large population, it can serve as a guide regarding the serological status of hepatitis A in Istanbul.

LIMITATIONS:
Since vaccination information for the study population was not available, it was not possible to distinguish between seropositivity due to vaccination or natural immunity. Despite being conducted in Istanbul, a cosmopolitan city, and in the largest city hospital, the results may not be representative of the entire country.

Published: December 2024

Implementing the Balance Scorecard (BSC) cannot guarantee the success of an organization in achieving its goal, this depends on how strong the determination is to implement BSC in the organization. Studies regarding the opportunities and challenges faced in the process of implementing or implementing BSC in schools are still very limited. The aims of this research are to: 1). Know, describe and analyze opportunities and challenges in implementing BSC at SMK Negeri 4 Tasikmalaya and SMK Negeri 1 Cipaku Ciamis; 2) describe the opportunities and challenges of implementing BSC at SMK Negeri 4 Tasikmalaya and SMK Negeri 1 Cipaku Ciamis. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive analysis study, collecting primary and secondary data. The analysis technique used in this research follows the Mile’s model. The research results show that as non-profit organizations, SMK Negeri 4 Tasikmalaya and SMK Negeri 1 Cipaku Ciamis are trying to implement BSC to measure their performance. The results of this assessment are contained in the Annual Work Plan (RKT) which is displayed in various strategies with the highest scores in the BSC analysis which will be implemented in the coming year period. Conclusions are : 1) The implementation of BSC at SMK Negeri 4 Tasikmalaya and SMK Negeri 1 Cipaku Ciamis has been implemented well. Viewed from a customer perspective, internal processes, growth and learning as well as a financial perspective, Many schools have implemented the BSC concept and supported BSC-based performance development. 2) chool has challenges in its implementation, especially in terms of collaboration with Dudi. Schools rarely carry out market research to meet industry needs, there is still a lack of commitment from school management in terms of consistent implementation of BSC. Schools also have difficulty measuring and evaluating school progress performance. Schools still experience dependence on BOS and BOPD funds and still lack transparency and accountability in managing school finances.

Towards a quantitative lithostratigraphy of Pleistocene glaciofluvial deposits in the southern Upper Rhine Graben

Published: December 2024

Abstract. The sediment fills of large terrestrial basins offer an opportunity to study and reconstruct regional-scale landscape history over time. An example of such a basin is the Upper Rhine Graben in central Europe, whose proximal, southern part has so far only sporadically been investigated sedimentologically. Three new drillings in close proximity have recovered the upper ∼ 40–60 m of the Quaternary sedimentary infill near the eastern graben margin north of Freiburg, Germany. Grain sizes, the rounding and shape of clasts, and the petrographic composition of the deposits have been determined and statistically analysed. The cored intervals consist of glaciofluvial gravels derived from and deposited by the Rhine system. While no consistent trends of the morphometric properties could be found, we succeeded in distinguishing two subunits within the topmost stratigraphic unit (Neuenburg Formation, Fm) based on compositional (i.e. gravel petrographic) data. An upper subunit (Hartheim Subformation, Sfm) enriched in lithologies representative of the Alpine orogen could be separated from a lower subunit (Nambsheim Sfm) that is enriched in lithologies of an outer-Alpine origin. We correlate these findings with a shift in the pattern of meltwater discharge from the Rhine glacier lobe that may have delivered more Alpine material into the study region during the last than during the penultimate glaciation and highlight the value of quantitative approaches and appropriate statistical evaluation for gravel petrographic studies.
What Is an Animal Companion? Revisiting the Barnbaum-Varner Definition
Authors: Sigsbee Dustin 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Many animal ethicists have shifted from using the term “pet” to the term “animal companion,” but what exactly is an animal companion? Arguably, the most comprehensive description of what an animal companion is comes from Gary Varner, who builds upon the work of Deborah Barnbaum. This article examines what I call the Barnbaum-Varner definition of an animal companion. I suggest that while the definition mostly captures what we think of when we think of an animal companion, there are potential philosophical issues that may impede constructive use of this definition. A revised version of the Barnbaum-Varner definition is developed to avoid these issues.
Picturing Pigs: A New Aesthetic
Authors: Johnstone Shannon , Casteline Jane M. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The depiction of pigs as caricatures and happy farmed animals represents a strategic marketing ploy on behalf of the U.S. Big Agriculture industry to distance the public from real pigs and dull empathy toward farmed animals. As two animal-loving photographers and animal rights activists who live in North Carolina (the state with the second-largest producer of pork in the United States), we created a billboard advocacy project called “Picturing Pigs” to counter Big Agriculture's marketing through positive imagery of rescued pigs. This article contains three parts. First, we discuss the caricatures of pigs in advertising and the media and critique these depictions through a critical animal studies lens. We focus on how these depictions impact how we think about and treat pigs. Second, we discuss our “Picturing Pigs” billboard campaign featuring photography that highlights the benevolent and positive attributes of pigs—qualities missing from media representations. We discuss the resistance we met and the impact the project has had. Third, we share Lucy's story, a piglet we met while working on “Picturing Pigs.” Lucy's story provides an example of the entanglements that pigs face being seen as anything other than a product.
