Background:In Benin, malaria remains endemic and perennial throughout the year in most areas. During the last decade, a substantial increase was noticed in the procurement of Artemisinin-based combination therapies and malaria RDT. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of uncomplicated malaria cases-management in public and private health facilities.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was carried out in public and private health facilities in the municipality of Abomey-Calavi in southern Benin from August to September 2016. The study focused on two targets: (i) patients with uncomplicated malaria who sought care in a health facility in Abomey-Calavi during the study period; and (ii) the health care providers in public and private health facilities authorized by the Ministry of Health.Results:In 27 health facilities investigated, 15 in the public sector and 12 in the private sector, a total of 313 patients and 93 health care providers were included. Forty-four percent (44%) had no education. Among the patients, 60% were identified in the public health facilities. About 87% of uncomplicated malaria patients were tested in public facilities while 63% were tested in private facilities. In the same way, 54% of patients were treated in accordance with National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) guidelines.Conclusions:The present study showed a poor performance in uncomplicated malaria case-management in private health facilities compared to public health facilities. Strategy to improve access and utilization of malaria case-management supplies needs to be reviewed in both public and private health facilities.

Background:Plant extracts are important products in the world and have been widely used for isolation of important biologically active products. Because of their significant environmental impact, extensive research has been explored to determine the antimicrobial activity of plant extracts.Methods:Acetone extracts of the bark and leaf of Cupressus sempervirens and Juniperus phoenicea, collected from three different altitudes (125, 391, and 851 m high of sea level) at Al- Jabel Al-Akhdar area, Libya were obtained and analyzed by GC/MS. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts was further evaluated against plant bacteria Rhizobium radiobacter, Erwinia carotovora, Rhodococcus fascians and Ralstonia solanacearum and fungus Botrytis cinerea.Results:The impact of the altitude from the sea level on the quantity and chemical constituents of the extracts was investigated. The yield was largely dependent on tree species and the highest yield (6.50%) was obtained with C. sempervirens L bark of altitude III (851 m of the sea level), while the lowest (1.17%) was obtained with the leaf extract of C. sempervirens L from altitude I (125 m). The chemical composition analyzed by GC/MS confirmed that the leaf extracts of C. sempervirens and J. phoenicea contained a complex mixture of monoterpene hydrocarbons, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, diterpenoids, terpenophenolic, steroids and phthalates. However, the bark extracts of both trees contained a mixture of sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, diterpenoids, terpenophenolics, phthalates, retinol and steroids. These constituents revealed some variability among the extracts displaying the highest interesting chemotype of totarol (terpenophenolic) in all extracts (14.63-78.19% of the total extract). The extracts displayed a noteworthy antifungal potency with varying degrees of inhibition of growth with EC50 values ranged from 78.50 to 206.90 mg/L. The extracts obtained from the leaves of C. sempervirens showed that the highest inhibitory activity was obtained with the extract of altitude II (391 m) with MIC 565, 510, 380 and 710 mg/L against E. carotovora, R. fascians, and R. radiobacter and R. solanacearum, respectively.Conclusion:Based on antimicrobial activity, raw plant extracts can be a cost-effective way to protect crops from microbial pathogens. Because plant extracts contain several antimicrobial compounds, the development of resistant pathogens can be delayed.
Obraz Boga w 2 Liście św. Piotra
Authors: Suszko Krzysztof 
Published: February 2018

Analiza przebiegu treści 2 Listu św. Piotra ujawnia poruszane w tekście dwie zasadnicze kwestie: (1) ciągła obecność tematu Boga w aspekcie Jego chwały i (2) ostateczny chrystocentryzm wszystkich odniesień treściowych w obrazie Boga. Pięciokrotnie pojawiające się słowo „chwała” (δόξα) można znaleźć zawsze w kluczowych miejscach omawianego tekstu natchnionego. List, przedstawiając teologię wiary w aspekcie poznania i powoływania, odsłania sukcesywnie tajemnicę Jezusa Chrystusa jako Osoby Boskiej – w kontekście Trójcy Świętej – na drodze ujawniania Jego kolejnych tytułów chrystologicznych aż po pełne tego objawienie w określeniu: „Pan nasz i Zbawiciel Jezus Chrystus” (κύριος ἡμῶν καὶ σωτήρ Ἰησοῦς Χριστός). Kreśli przy tym główny cel praktyczny i metodę jego osiągnięcia, jakim jest „uczestnictwo w Boskiej naturze” (por. 2 P 1, 4) dzięki „Bogu i Jezusowi Panu naszemu” (θεός καὶ Ἰησοῦς κύριος ἡμῶν) – z równoczesnym przestrzeganiem przed pójściem inną drogą – przeciwstawiając sobie dwa wymiary rzeczywistości: doczesny i wieczny.
Impact of Pre-Strain, Initial Thermal Strain, and Viscoelasticity of Hybrid/Merged Cords on Tire Performance
Authors: Meng Xianwei , Assaad Mahmoud , Kavaturu Mahesh 
Published: February 2018

ABSTRACT
Hybrid/merged cords made by blending dissimilar yarns into a single cord are commonly used in tire applications. This method is used to capture the desirable properties of each component. In nylon (PA66)/aramid (A19) cord constructions, the aramid is used for its superior strength and thermal stability. The nylon is used for its high elongation. In tire numerical modeling, the composite components require two types of input data, one related to the initial thermal strain, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and one related to the growth/creep viscoelastic response, creep factor (cr_fr). The following article provides a summary of the laboratory measurements of these material properties for the commonly used hybrid/merged cords. A consumer tire with reinforcing layers was analyzed under normal inflation and loading conditions. The impact on the tire's outer contour and footprint characteristic was shown to be dependent on the type of cord materials used, its initial thermal strain, and its viscoelastic behavior.

Published: February 2018

Kelentangan merupakan praktik musikal masyarakat Dayak Benuaq yang masih berkembang hingga saat ini. Musik ini diwariskan dari generasi ke generasi. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan aspek-aspek transmisi kelentangan meliputi konten, pelaku, dan mekanisme transmisi. Pelaku utama dari transmisi kelentangan ialah para pemusiknya, sedangkan kontennya yang utama adalah kelentangan itu sendiri sebagai praktik musikal. Kelentangan ditransmisikan hampir selalu secara tidak disadari, baik oleh guru maupun murid. Guru melakukan eksternalisasi, sementara murid mengalami internalisasi. Proses ini umumnya terjadi dalam setting informal kehidupan masyarakat Dayak Benuaq, misalnya dalam ritual pengobatan, berbagai pesta, dan peristiwa-peristiwa lain, bukan dalam sebuah setting pembelajaran yang formal.

Heterogeneous Differential Privacy
Authors: Alaggan Mohammad , Gambs Sébastien , Kermarrec Anne-Marie 
Published: February 2018

The massive collection of personal data by personalization systems has rendered the preservation of privacy of individuals more and more difficult. Most of the proposed approaches to preserve privacy in personalization systems usually address this issue uniformly across users, thus ignoring the fact that users have different privacy attitudes and expectations (even among their own personal data). In this paper, we propose to account for this non-uniformity of privacy expectations by introducing the concept of heterogeneous differential privacy. This notion captures both the variation of privacy expectations among users as well as across different pieces of information related to the same user. We also describe an explicit mechanism achieving heterogeneous differential privacy, which is a modification of the Laplacian mechanism by Dwork, McSherry, Nissim and Smith. In a nutshell, this mechanism achieves heterogeneous differential privacy by manipulating the sensitivity of the function using a linear transformation on the input domain. Finally, we evaluate on real datasets the impact of the proposed mechanism with respect to a semantic clustering task. The results of our experiments demonstrate that heterogeneous differential privacy can account for different privacy attitudes while sustaining a good level of utility as measured by the recall for the semantic clustering task.
