Abstract
Background: Giardia.lamblia (G.lamblia), Entamoeba histolytica (E.histolytica), Blastocyistis hominis (B. hominis ) and Cryptosporidium spp. infections have been frequently reported as etiological agents for gastroenteritis but also as common gut inhabitants in healthy individuals. Co-infections with protozoa pathogens were previously described but little is known about whether these assemblages are purely random or structured in communities.
Methods From 1st July 2016 to 31st March 2017, fresh stool samples were collected from randomly selected individuals in sentinel hospitals in Tengchong City, Yunnan Province, China. molecular biology method was used to detect G.lamblia, E.histolytica, Cryptosporidium spp and B. hominis. Sequencing was applied to confirm the these protozoon genotypes. The data analysis method was involved chi-square test, multivariable logistic regression, null models and Partial least square regression (PLSR) methods with R 3.2 software.
Results: The prevalence of the four enteric protozoa in all subjects were (in order of frequency of detection) : B.hominis 9.5% [95%Confidence Interval (CI) 7.1-12.4%], G.lamblia 2.2% (95%CI 1.1-3.8%); E.hystolitica 2.0% (95%CI 0.9-3.6%) whereas Cryptosporidium spp. was not detected at all. The prevalence of, at least, one enteric protozoa was 12.4% (95%CI 9.7-15.6), and the prevalence of 2 different enteric protozoa species was 1.2% (95%CI 0.4-2.6). The most common co-infection found was E.histolytica and B.hominis, (1.0%; 95%CI 0.3-2.2). Regarding genetic profiles, 10 out of 11 G.lamblia strains were classified in assemblage A, sub-assemblage I, and 1 sample was classified in assemblage B, sub-assemblage IV. B.hominis was detected in 48 samples, 25 were classified as genotype III, 13 as genotype I, 8 samples as genotype VII and the 2 remaining isolates as genotype IV. Our null modelling confirmed the random protozoa co-occurrence and our PLSR analysis the lack of association between these enteric pathogens and clinical symptomatology.
Conclusions: The occurrence of these enteric protozoa was purely random. Not specific interactions were detected between the four protozoa studied and neither their presence, jointly or separately, nor the patient’s age were predictors for developing clinical symptoms associated with these pathogens. Further research including a broader range of pathogen species is needed to address remaining knowledge gaps in co-infections and diarrhoeal disease.
Sero-epidemiology of Hepatitis C Virus and Malaria (Plasmodium falciparum) Co-infection among pregnant women Attending National Hospital Abuja in Central Nigeria
Authors: PETER ASAGA MAC , SALIHU HALIMA , OKWOLI AMALI 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background

Hepatitis C virus is an RNA virus of the flaviviridae family and appears to have humans and chimpanzees as the only species susceptible to its infection [1]. Infection is often asymptomatic but once established, chronic infection can lead to scarring of the liver (fibrosis) and advanced scarring (cirrhosis) which is generally apparent after many years [2]. It is a major and growing public health problem that can easily lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma [3].

Methods

This study was conducted on one hundred and thirty (130) pregnant women of reproductive age (15 – 45 years) who were randomly selected at National hospital Abuja. 5 ml of blood was obtained from study participants for rapid HCV screening and malaria thick films and thin films for parasite densities and parasite species identification.

Result

The preponderance of HCV was 130 (17.1%), malaria (49.4%) and HCV and malaria co-infection was (10.9%), of the hundred and thirty (130) samples obtained from pregnant women in the Abuja National Hospital.

Conclusion

The sero-prevalence of HCV infection and its infectivity is high in central Nigeria. This study findings guide the want for routine HCV and malaria screening among pregnant women at some stage in antenatal care within the region and Nigeria. It also form a base for continual education campaign about HCV amongst rural/Urban pregnant mothers/women and food vendors in central states and other parts of Nigeria. Those efforts will guarantee top of the line and better outcome for excellent health care delivery for the expecting mothers and other health care providers in our hospitals.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background

To investigate the characteristics of epidemiology, clinical treatment and economic cost structure of inpatients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Chinese grade IIIA hospitals.

Methods

Data from the medical record home page (IMRHP) of all inpatients with DR from October 2001 to September 2014 were retrieved from the information management center system of 94 grade IIIA hospitals.

Results

A total of 65,759 inpatients with DR (71,686 eyes) were enrolled, accounting for 14.00% of all ophthalmology hospitalizations. During the 14-year period, the average length of hospitalization of DR inpatients and the average preoperative time dropped by 49.74% and 48.09%, respectively (p < 0.001). The proportion of vitrectomies increased from 10.53% to 15.62%, and the proportion of intravitreal injections increased from 0% to 4.84%. The average hospitalization cost in 2014 was 2.2 times greater than in 2001, but the increase was lower than that of the per capita annual income in China.

Conclusions

The number of inpatients, the number of surgeries, and hospitalization costs show a significant upward trend. The statistics of the IMRHP data can provide reasonable suggestions and scientific support for the prevention and treatments of DR.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of two individualized ranibizumab retreatment schemes in neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
Methods: Patients (N=671) were randomized (1:1) to receive three initial monthly ranibizumab 0.5 mg injections, then retreatment guided by either best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) loss (Group I) or BCVA loss and/or signs of disease activity on optical coherence tomography (OCT; Group II). The study was terminated prematurely, as OCT-guided treatment became standard of care during the study period. Post-hoc efficacy analyses were performed on patients who completed 12 months of the originally planned 24-month study. Safety analyses are presented for all safety analyzable patients.
Results: Of 671 randomized patients, 305 completed 12 months. At baseline, the mean (standard deviation) BCVA and reading-center evaluated central subfield thickness (CSFT) were 60.9 (13.10) letters and 517.7(201.79) µm, respectively in Group I and 60.2 (12.21) letters and 515.3 (198.37) µm in Group II. The change from baseline at Month 12 in BCVA was 6.7 (13.48) letters in Group I and 8.3 (13.53) letters in Group II and the change in CSFT was −161.3 (163.48) µm and −175.3 (170.45) µm, respectively. The mean number of injections was 8.2 in Group I and 8.4 in Group II.
Conclusion: Ranibizumab treatment resulted in visual and anatomic gains at 12 months for both retreatment strategies, with a trend in favor of OCT-guided vs BCVA loss guided retreatment. No new safety signals were seen.

Authors: Yeo Hyeopgoo 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
This paper presents a 96 × 96 fingerprint sensor implemented with 0.25 μm standard CMOS technology. The implemented fingerprint sensor is based on a pseudo-direct signaling scheme that does not require an electrode for signal transmission. And the pseudo-direct signaling was combined with sensor cell isolation scheme which controls the unwanted influx of the electric fields effectively. And a pipelined scan technique was applied for fast fingerprint image capture while maintaining SNR performance. It was fabricated with 0.25 μm standard CMOS technology and was molded with 80 μm-thick epoxy after fabrication. The fingerprint sensor was tested with ARM board combined with PC applications. The obtained fingerprint images from the fingerprint sensor were enhanced to reduce the noise of the obtained images by using filtering technique, such as Wiener, 2D Gaussian, and 2D FIR filtering. From the test results, it was concluded that the implemented fingerprint sensor with the isolation scheme worked well without bezel electrode and can be used in biometric authentication systems effectively.
The quantitative analysis of the influence of environmental factors on the water yield capacity: a study in Haihe river basin, China

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Many studies have qualitatively analyzed the response of hydrological characteristics to climate change in Haihe river basin, but quantitative research has been rare, which is essential for water resource management. To evaluate and quantitatively analyze the relationship between catchment runoff capacity and environmental factors, principal component analysis, step regression analysis, and sensitivity analysis were conducted. The results show that the runoff capacity of Haihe river basin was mainly controlled by vegetation types and soil texture; catchments with lower runoff capacity were mainly distributed in the upstream/northwest regions. In the catchments with middle runoff capacity, a 10% increase in precipitation (PRE), potential evapotranspiration (PE), and plant-available water coefficient (PAWC) would result in a 23.6% increase, 12.9% decrease, and 5.1% decrease in annual runoff, respectively, whereas in low runoff capacity catchments, a 10% increase in slope and leaf area index (LAI) would result in a 17.8% increase and 10.5% decrease in annual runoff, and in high runoff capacity catchments, a 10% increase in normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI) would result in a 12.6% increase in annual runoff. Soil conditions and vegetation configuration improvement in the upstream of Haihe river basin may contribute to the improvement of available water resources.

Published: April 2019

A relação entre elementos da língua e a argumentação é concebida, no âmbito da Linguística, como sendo de natureza inseparável. Neste trabalho, objetivamos investigar o funcionamento argumentativo dos modalizadores epistêmicos asseverativos na construção do gênero entrevista de seleção de emprego, a partir da análise de um corpus composto por vinte e duas entrevistas de seleção de emprego. Para tal, fundamentamo-nos nos estudos sobre a Modalização Discursiva, a partir de Lyons (1977), Palmer (2001), Castilho e Castilho (2002), Koch (2010) e Nascimento e Silva (2012), além dos estudos sobre a argumentação linguística de Ducrot (1988). A análise mostra o funcionamento argumentativo dos modalizadores epistêmicos asseverativos nos pontos de marcação de um comprometimento tanto por parte do entrevistador quanto por parte do entrevistado em relação ao dito. Tais modalizadores avaliam os ditos como incontestáveis, criando a imagem de um locutor comprometido e engajado com o conteúdo de seu dizer. Ademais, a argumentatividade das entrevistas não foi gerada apenas pela utilização de determinadas palavras e expressões, que imprimem o caráter de certeza no enunciado, mas também pelo recurso da entonação de ênfase e pelo recurso da repetição, os quais funcionaram como modalizadores asseverativos em alguns enunciados proferidos pelos entrevistadores (L1) e pelos entrevistados (L2).

Un reto para las publicaciones científicas en Colombia
Authors: Enríquez García Mónica Alejandra 
Published: April 2019

Ante el anuncio de un nuevo modelo propuesto por Colciencias para la indexación de revistas colombianas, las instituciones se vieron en la necesidad de iniciar un proceso de ajustes en las políticas editoriales con base en parámetros de medición que hasta ese momento no constituían información oficial; a fin de que sus revistas continuaran indexadas por el IBN - Publindex de Colciencias. Como se avizoraba, muchas revistas no cumplieron con los requisitos mínimos debido a varios factores que enmarcan el contexto de la labor editorial de la revistas científicas, entre ellos, los costos que implica dicha labor, la mínima cantidad de horas semanales que se asigna al editor para esta función, la exigencia de que las revistas estén incluidas en diversas bases de datos del conocimiento, como una estrategia para incrementar su visibilidad ante la comunidad científica internacional, la imperante necesidad de publicar en un segundo idioma, entre otros, constituyeron la antesala de argumentos para que más del 50% de las revistas en el país perdieran la indexación; que más que una categoría, representa el esfuerzo de equipos editoriales por mantener vivo un proyecto que generalmente nació con el propósito de publicar resultados de investigación de la región donde pertenecen.

The proper understanding about spatial soil diversity is very important to simulate environmental model and to manage land resources in the landscape scale. Information of soil diversity is also noteworthy for environmental academics, forestry, civil engineering, and land use planner. Until now, most of the soil information are derived from conventional soil maps which are lack of detailed information. This condition can increase the uncertainty of model output and can also be an obstacle to the future development of spatial distribution model. According to this situation, the research was conducted in Sub Watershed of Cikeruh, Citarik, and Citarum Hulu. These areas are located in the 6o53’00”S - 6o53’15” S and 107o45’21”E - 107o45’55”E at 780-1800 m asl, The rainfall is classified as type C according to the Schmidt and Fergusson classification with mean rainfall around 1795.66 mm per year. The soils in the research areas are classified as Inceptisols. The research aims to analyze and elucidate the relation between topographic characteristics and soil physical properties. Some parameters studied in this research are elevation, aspect, plan curvature, profile curvature, topographic wetness index (TWI), topographic position index (TPI), and some soil physical properties, such as soil texture (clay, silt, and sand), soil organic carbon, soil bulk density, soil available water capacity, soil porosity and permeability. The results showed that all topographic parameters were related to one or some soil physical properties, except aspect and slope. Topographic variables that are frequently related to soil properties are TPI and TWI. Keywords: topographic characteristics, elevation, aspect, curvature, TWI, TPI, soil physical properties
