IntroductionAlthough occupational exposure to Coxiella burnetii has been studied previously, the zoonotic risk in wildlife environments remains unclear and has yet to be fully established.MethodsAccordingly, the present study aimed to serologically assess professionals with daily contact with free-living and captive wildlife in Paraná State, Brazil, along with the potential associated risk factors for C. burnetii exposure.ResultsOverall, 25 out of 309 (8.1%) wildlife professionals were seropositive, including 6/54 (11.1%) national and 7/125 (5.6%) state park employees, 6/92 (6.5%) zookeepers, and 6/38 (15.8%) animal service workers, with titers ranging from 32 to 128. No statistical association was found between seropositivity and associated risk factors, including the working location.DiscussionOur results differ from those of previous studies in Brazil, which found 8/893 (0.9%) indigenous, 1/18 (5.5%) police officers, and 44/200 (22.0%) former Black slaves to be seropositive. This study is the first serological investigation of C. burnetii among park rangers, zookeepers, and animal service workers in Brazil, showing no statistically significant risk factors for seropositivity. As the seroprevalence in this study was higher than that in previous surveys of healthy (asymptomatic) human populations, C. burnetii exposure may also be an occupational risk for wildlife professionals owing to their contact with the natural environment in Brazil.

IntroductionOver the past few years, the technology powering mobile devices such as smartphones has made significant progress. Furthermore, the healthcare industry is always progressing and actively embracing the latest technological advancements to achieve the highest level of efficiency. With the rising prevalence of smartphones and internet connection, customers are benefiting from reduced prices, convenient home delivery, and effortless accessibility through online pharmacies. Internet-based pharmacies facilitate the internet-based transaction of health-related products, such as drugs, dietary supplements, and various other wellbeing products.Objective of studyThe study assessed digital pharmacy applications in India using the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) on Android and iOS devices, aiming to evaluate their quality.MethodsAn investigation examined the digital pharmacy applications in India that were accessible via the Android Market and App Store. The applications were assessed by two researchers using the MARS questionnaire, a tool that evaluates 23 variables categorized into five domains: Engagement, Functionality, Aesthetics, Information, and Subjective Quality. The grading system spanned from one to five for every category.ResultsA Google Play Store and App Store investigation revealed 40 online pharmacy apps in India, with 13 rejected. Seven were non-English language-related apps and seven were not downloaded. Thirteen were chosen and evaluated using the MARS Scale. The MARS demonstrated significant positive associations across its components, namely Engagement, Functionality, Aesthetics, and Information. Specifically, greater levels of user functionality were shown to be indicative of superior app aesthetics and engagement. The mean rating of the 13 apps fell between the range of 3.11 to 4.32 on a 5-point scale.ConclusionThis is the first study to utilize the MARS scale to assess the efficacy of online pharmacy applications in India. This research enhanced the functionality and quality of various online pharmacy applications utilized in India.
Sustainable digital rent: a transformative framework for value dynamics in the digital age
Authors: Özdilek Ünsal 
Published: November 2024

IntroductionThis paper introduces the concept of Sustainable Digital Rent (SDR), highlighting the shift from traditional economic rent based on tangible assets to rent derived from digital platforms. At the heart of this shift is the “value state,” a dynamic balance between constructive expectations and destructive information. As digital platforms generate increasing amounts of information, expectations are increasingly met and shared more efficiently with all users, leading to a reduction in individual and general motivational, emotional, and cognitive engagement. These platforms, now essential to modern life, facilitate online activities that reduce as well physical engagement and natural interactions, thereby impacting cognitive function and physical health. By extracting rent directly, digital platform operators limit the benefits users could gain to support their mental and physical well-being.MethodsThis paper empirically defines and estimates SDR using the collective estimates of price, cost, and income (PCI) as practiced in North American real estate appraisal, demonstrated through abstract art rent. Our approach provides a new perspective on valuing intangible assets, such as knowledge, by showing the shift from expectation to information, governed by the value state in cognitive evaluations. Emphasizing interdisciplinary relevance, the method underscores the need for an efficient mechanism to redistribute SDR benefits to digital platform users, supporting fair and equitable digital development.Results and discussionThe results show that digital rent is driven primarily by cognitive and informational content, demonstrating the need for redistribution mechanisms to address the growing inequality on digital platforms. The use of abstract art as a case study provides a convenient and illustrative way to explore how intangible assets, like digital rents, can be evaluated and redistributed. SDR offers insights into how digital rents can be captured and redistributed equitably, ensuring that platform users and creators benefit from the knowledge economy’s growth. The findings underscore the relevance of measuring SDR to guide policy recommendations aimed at reducing digital monopolization and promoting sustainable digital development.

IntroductionSocial support within Indigenous worldviews is recognized as a component of health and has been associated with physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Physical Activity (PA) is a modifiable behaviour that can help reduce risks of disease and benefit many dimensions of health. The purpose of this study was to compare the physical activity of Indigenous adults in Saskatchewan with and without family/friend support of PA.MethodsThe Family Influence on Physical Activity questionnaire was used to record the extent and forms of family/friend support of PA. The Godin Shepard Leisure Exercise Questionnaire (GSLEQ) was used to measure weekly PA, including moderate PA (MPA), vigorous PA (VPA), exercise frequency (WEF) and GSLEQ scores.ResultsIndigenous participants overall, First Nations and Cree participants specifically with family/friend involvement in PA reported greater weekly WEF and GSLEQ scores. Indigenous participants overall and First Nations participants specifically with family and friends who watch them engage in PA reported greater weekly VPA and GSLEQ scores. Among First Nations and Cree participants specifically, those with family/friends encouragement of PA reported greater weekly VPA, WEF and GSLEQ scores. Furthermore, First Nations participants with active family/friends reported significantly greater weekly VPA (36.8 ± 51.5 min·week−1 vs. 80.2 ± 108.5 min·week−1; p = 0.01). Greater weekly VPA was found in Métis participants with family/friend involvement in PA and with family/friends who watch them engage in PA (67.6 ± 59.6 min·week−1 vs. 29.5 ± 40.8 min·week−1; p = 0.01).DiscussionSocial support, specifically family/friends involvement, has a significant impact on Indigenous participation in PA.

Published: November 2024

BackgroundLiposarcoma (LPS) is a kind of malignancy of soft tissue usually found in the retroperitoneal, limb, or neck region, and some may be detected with delayed symptoms (pain or palpable mass), and less frequently occurs in organs of the digestive system. In contrast, Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is a common histological subtype of LPS. The present study reported a case of dedifferentiated liposarcoma originating in the gallbladder. Differentiated liposarcoma originating from the gallbladder is rarely reported.Case descriptionA 64-year-old female patient presented to our hospital with a painless abdominal mass. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed that the gallbladder had lost its normal shape, and a 9.1 cm × 7.1 cm × 12.1 cm mass was seen in the area of the gallbladder fossa and the right upper abdomen below it, which had an irregular morphology, inhomogeneous density, and nodular calcification, with marked inhomogeneous enhancement on enhancement scan. Preoperative tumor markers and liver function indicators were not abnormal. With suspicion of a giant malignant tumor of the gallbladder, she underwent a cholecystectomy combined with abdominal mass resection. After surgery, the tumor and gallbladder, were completely resected, and postoperative pathological results confirmed the diagnosis of dedifferentiated liposarcoma deriving from gallbladder. After surgery, the patient and his family refused to continue treatment. After 15 months follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic and does not show any signs of recurrence. And she is now under continued follow - up.ConclusionsTreatment of dedifferentiated liposarcoma is still at exploratory stage, and a lack of clinical evidence for this condition might hinder access to clinical trials and studies. Currently, the treatment of choice for dedifferentiated liposarcoma remains radical resection. In the available clinical studies, there are no robust data to support clinical use of neoadjuvant and adjuvant radiochemotherapy. As with other diseases, the use of radiotherapy and chemotherapy before and after surgery may be a potential future treatment.

IntroductionEscherichia coli is a major pathogen responsible for calf diarrhea, which has been exacerbated by the irrational and unscientific use of antimicrobial drugs, leading to significant drug resistance.MethodsThis study focused on the isolation and identification of E. coli from calf diarrhea samples in the Tongliao area of China. Isolation was conducted using selective media, Gram staining, and 16S rRNA sequencing. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of E. coli was determined through the microbroth dilution method. Additionally, the presence of antibiotic-resistant genes was detected, and multidrug-resistant strains were selected for whole-genome sequencing (WGS).ResultsThe results revealed that all 40 isolated strains of E. coli exhibited resistance to sulfadiazine sodium, enrofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin, with 90% of the strains being susceptible to polymyxin B. Notably, strains 11, 23, and 24 demonstrated severe resistance. The detection rates of the antibiotic resistance genes TEM-1, TEM-206, strA, strB, qacH, and blaCTX were 100%, indicating a high prevalence of these genes. Moreover, the majority of strains carried antibiotic resistance genes consistent with their resistance phenotypes. WGS of strains 11, 23, and 24 revealed genome sizes of 4,897,185 bp, 4,920,234 bp, and 4,912,320 bp, respectively. These strains carried two, one, and two plasmids, respectively. The prediction of antibiotic resistance genes showed a substantial number of these genes within the genomes, with strain 24 harboring the highest number, totaling 77 subspecies containing 88 antibiotic resistance genes.DiscussionIn conclusion, all 40 isolated strains of E. coli from calf diarrhea in this study were multidrug-resistant, exhibiting a broad distribution of antibiotic resistance genes and mobile components. This poses a significant risk of horizontal gene transfer, highlighting the critical situation of antibiotic resistance in this region.

Energi listrik merupakan salah satu kebutuhan manusia yang sangat penting dan tidak terlepas dari kebutuhan sehari-hari. Hampir semua pekerjaan manusia membutuhkan energi listrik. Oleh karena itu ketersediaan energi listrik harus dipertahankan. Penggunaan tenaga listrik biasanya lebih banyak digunakan di gedung-gedung besar seperti gedung kantoran, pabrik, hotel, dan juga termasuk Universitas-universitas yang menggunakann energi listrik berkapasitas besar. Ruang belajar yang ada di Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis khususnya Jurusan Teknik Elektro terdiri dari ruang kelas, dan laboratorium dan bengkel listrik. Ruang belajar ini sistem instalasi kelistrikannya masih konvensional untuk menyalakan lampu, AC dan peralatan laboratorium berpusat pada panel yang ada pada setiap ruangan tersebut. Permasalahan timbul saat pengguna ruangan tidak mematikan peralatan listrik setelah perkuliahan selesai dan meninggalkan ruangan. Hal ini menyebabkan penggunaan listrik pada ruang belajar menjadi boros dan membengkaknya tagihan listrik yang harus dibayarkan. Pemborosan penggunaan energi listrik pada ruang belajar dapat dimininimalisir dengan memperbarui sistem kontrol konvensional menjadi semi otomatis. Sistem dirancang sedemikian rupa sehingga hanya dosen dan admin yang bisa mengakses ruangan. Sistem yang diterapkan yaitu: Smart door lock merupakan akses masuk ruang belajar menggunakan RFID card atau password sehingga hanya dosen dan admin yang bisa membuka pintu ruang belajar. Penerapan sistem kontrol seperti ini diharapkan mampu mengurangi beban pemakaian listrik yang berlebihan karena faktor human error yaitu pengguna ruangan lupa mematikan peralatan listrik dan penerangan pada ruang belajar setelah perkuliahan selesai.
