Published: October 2024

Background
Rabies is a disease of warm-blooded animals that affects the central nervous system and is almost invariably fatal once clinical signs develop. It is one of the most neglected tropical diseases in several areas of the world, including Ethiopia. Additionally, the burden of the disease is estimated to be high in Ethiopia, and public awareness contributes to prevention.

Methods
A community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from June–August 2023 in the Gomma district, Jimma zone, Oromia regional state, Ethiopia, to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of communities towards rabies and associated risk factors using a structured questionnaire survey. A multi-stage sampling technique was used for the selection of the sampling units and a total of 140 participants were interviewed. The questionnaire parts included socio-demographics information, knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the community’s respect for rabies management and control. The data was analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 20. Descriptive analyses were employed and multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate the association between independent and dependent variables (Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practice scores).

Results
About 134 (95.7%) respondents had heard about rabies. Likewise, 75 (53.6%), 55 (39.3%), and 95 (67.9%) of the respondents had good knowledge, favorable attitudes, and good practices, respectively. Christians were more likely to have higher knowledge scores than Muslims (AOR = 6.876, CI = 1.750–27.016, p = 0.006). Respondents who knew someone’s exposure had a higher knowledge score than those who did not (AOR = 6.208, CI = 2.750–14.012, p = 0.000). Moreover, Muslims were found to have a more favorable attitudes than Christians (AOR = 5.518, CI = 1.199–25.391, p = 0.028). Those who knew someone’s exposure to rabies were found to have a more favorable attitudes than those who did not (AOR = 2.367, CI = 1.157–4.839, p = 0.018). Respondents who had favorable attitudes towards rabies were found to have more good practices than unfavorable attitudes (AOR = 3.267, CI = 1.391, 7.730, p = 0.005).

Conclusions
The study revealed a gap in knowledge among communities in the study area. Thus, rabies control activity and community awareness should be implemented with stakeholders.

Background
Overweight/ obesity among under-five children is an emerging public health issue of the twenty-first century. Due to the quick nutritional and epidemiological change, non-communicable diseases, premature death, disability, and reproductive disorders have grown in low-income countries. Besides, little attention has been given. Therefore, we aimed to explore spatial variations and predictors of overweight/obesity among under-five children in Ethiopia using a geospatial technique.

Methods
A total weighted sample of 3,609 under-five children was included in the study. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a nationally representative sample of the 2019 Ethiopia Mini Demographic and Health Survey data set. ArcGIS version 10.8 was used to explore the spatial variation of obesity. SaTScan version 9.6 software was used to analyze the spatial cluster detection of overweight/obesity. Ordinary least square and geographically weighted regression analysis were employed to assess the association between an outcome variable and explanatory variables. A p-value of less than 0.05 was used to declare it statistically significant.

Results
The spatial distribution of overweight/obesity among under-five children in Ethiopia was clustered (Global Moran’s I = 0.27, p-value<0.001). The significant hot spot areas or higher rates of childhood obesity, were found in Southern Amhara, Northwest Somalia, Border of Harari, central Addis Ababa, Eastern SNNPR, and Northwestern Oromia region. In spatial SaT Scan analysis, 79 significant clusters of overweight/obesity were detected. The primary clusters were located in SNNPR, Oromia, and Addis Ababa (RR = 1.48, LLR = 31.40, P-value < 0.001). In the geographically weighted regression analysis, urban residence, cesarean section, rich households, and female children were statistically significant predictors.

Conclusions
Overweight or obesity among under-five children show spatial variations across Ethiopian regions. GWR analysis identifies cesarean section, wealth index, urban residence, and child sex as significant predictors. The Ministry of Health and Ethiopian Public Health Institute should target regions with these contributing predictors, promoting localized physical education, health education campaigns, and ongoing community monitoring to encourage active lifestyles and reduce sedentary behaviors among children.

AbstractHypotension is one of the main characteristics of the systemic inflammation, basically caused by endothelial dysfunction. Studies have shown that the amino acid L‐kynurenine (KYN) causes vasodilation in mammals, leading to hypotensive shock. In hypotensive shock, when activated by the KYN, the voltage‐gated potassium channel encoded by the family KCNQ (Kv7) gene can cause vasodilation. Fructose‐1,6‐bisphosphate (FBP) it is being considered in studies an anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulator, and a modulator of some ion channels (Ca2+, Na+, and K+). We analyzed the effects of KYN and FBP on mean blood pressure (MBP), systolic and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, and heart rate variability (HRV) in Wistar rats. Results demonstrated that the administration of KYN significant decreased MBP, DBP, and increased HRV. Importantly, the FBP treatment reversed the KYN effects on MBP, DBP, and HRV. Molecular Docking Simulations suggested that KYN and FBP present a very close estimated free energy of binding and the same position into structure of KCNQ4. Our results did demonstrate that FBP blunted the decrease in BP, provoked by KYN. Results raise new hypotheses for future and studies in the treatment of hypotension resulting from inflammation.
Die Etablierung der Bibliothek der Fachhochschule Anhalt
Authors: Paoli Carolin 
Published: October 2024

Zusammenfassung
Die Etablierung einer wissenschaftlichen Bibliothek an der Hochschule Anhalt war, wie die anderer Hochschulbibliotheken der neuen Bundesländer, zur Wendezeit und viele Jahre danach von vielfältigsten Herausforderungen und Veränderungen geprägt. Vor der Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands waren die Hochschulen im Osten der Republik und damit auch die Bibliotheken Teil eines von sozialistischen Ideologien dominierten Bildungssystems. Die politische Zensur beeinflusste die Auswahl und Verfügbarkeit von Ressourcen, so dass die Bibliotheksbestände eine begrenzte Ausrichtung hatten und der Anteil wissenschaftlicher Literatur der westlichen Länder stark unterrepräsentiert und an kleineren Standorten nicht vorhanden war. Im Zuge der Wiedervereinigung wurden die Hochschulbibliotheken der einstigen DDR in das Bildungssystem der Bundesrepublik Deutschland integriert und standen damit unter immensem Modernisierungs- und zugleich Transformationsdruck. Durch Hochschulneugründungen versuchten die Landesregierungen, die neuen Bundesländer voranzubringen. Viele Anforderungen auf verschiedenen Ebenen mussten erfüllt werden. Diese reichten von umfangreichen administrativen Umstellungen über die Bestandsprüfung und -erweiterung, die Internationalisierung, die Erneuerung der technologischen Infrastruktur bis hin zu gravierenden personellen Umstrukturierungen. Die Veränderungskompetenz von Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern, die sich mit neuen und zusätzlichen Bibliotheksstandards und Arbeitsweisen vertraut machen mussten, war gefragt. Im Folgenden sollen die Gründung und die Entwicklungsdynamiken der Hochschule Anhalt und ihrer Hochschulbibliothek mit drei Standorten im Fokus stehen.
Exploring the functions of lexical bundles in undergraduate opinion paragraphs for pedagogical use
Authors: Akeel Eman S. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Corpus-based studies of lexical bundles have opened new avenues for language teaching research. The fact that naturally occurring language consists of patterns of lexical repetition and multi-word units has given rise to the question of chunkiness in learner language. This study was designed to examine lexical bundles and their functions in a small, specialized learner corpus of opinion paragraphs written by Saudi English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students at the University of Jeddah. The study takes a frequency-driven approach to identify common lexical bundles. A learner corpus of 237 writing tasks produced by Saudi undergraduate students from 11 different sections is compiled and explored. The primary aim was to identify high-frequency five-word lexical bundles and explore their functions in the learner corpus, as well as investigate any distributional differences in bundle use across the various student sections. The findings revealed that learners utilized lexical bundles primarily to serve four key functions: expressing stance, supporting a point, introducing an item, and making recommendations. Notably, variations were observed in the distribution of these functional categories among the different student groups. The study concludes by outlining some pedagogical applications for educators and language practitioners, highlighting the value of learner corpus-informed approaches to enhancing learners’ awareness and mastery of lexical patterning in academic writing. By better understanding the role of formulaic language in learner production, instructors can tailor their teaching to more effectively support students’ linguistic development.
Biblical Stories on the Medieval and Early Modern Stage: A Transnational Approach
Authors: Bloemendal Jan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This contribution offers a survey of the field of biblical drama research and of several approaches. It makes a plea for a transnational approach of studying early modern drama, especially biblical drama. Such a transnational approach is a continuation of many of these earlier approaches, makes use of some and breaks with others. The contribution also shows that it is important to include Neo-Latin drama in the study of early modern drama at the cost of losing sight on a crucial constituent part of the development of this drama and this theatre. Neo-Latin drama contributed to the knowledge and reception of the Bible among the elites and among the ordinary people who attended performances of these plays or of one of the many translations and adapations.

Abstract

Objectives
While manual review is the gold standard, automated hematology analyzers are increasingly used. This study assessed the efficiency of white blood cell (WBC)-related flagging messages from the Sysmex XN-1000 and Alinity hq analyzers compared to peripheral blood smear (PBS) findings and evaluated their inter-platform agreement.

Methods
K3EDTA blood samples from hospitalized patients were analyzed using the Sysmex XN-1000. Samples triggering a morphology flag were reanalyzed on the Alinity hq, with PBS reviewed per CLSI protocol H20-A2-2007.

Results
Of 5530 samples, 196 had morphology-related flags requiring PBS review. Sysmex flagged 144 samples with leukocyte-related messages; Alinity flagged 120. The positive predictive value (PPV) for the Left Shift flag was 100 % for Sysmex and 77.5 % for Alinity; for Immature Granulocytes, it was 19.4 % for Sysmex and 94.6 % for Alinity. The Blast Flag’s PPVs were 9.3 % for Sysmex and 17.9 % for Alinity. Left Shift specificities were high (>94 %), but sensitivities varied. Sysmex showed 100 % sensitivity for the Blast flag but moderate specificity (53 %), while Alinity performed well (77–82 %). Agreement between platforms ranged from poor to good.

Conclusions
Tailored SOPs are crucial for optimizing laboratory workflow based on different flagging performances. Understanding each analyzer’s strengths and limitations improves interpretation and workflow management.
Mechanical behavior of shape memory alloys considering the effects of body fluids corrosion for biomedical applications
Authors: Zhang Feng , Dong Jiahe , Luo Xuehang , Liu Bingfei 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are widely used in biomedical engineering, including cardiovascular stents, artificial skeletons, and orthodontic implants. For the above applications, the body fluids corrosion processes will inevitably cause deterioration in the mechanical properties of the SMAs actuator during its service life, which will threaten the safety of human health. To analyze such problems, experimental measurements have been carried out to investigate the influence of body fluid corrosion on the mechanical properties of SMAs. Changes in the mechanical properties, such as Young’s modulus and phase transformation temperatures of SMAs under body fluids corrosion were tested firstly in the simulated body environment with the 0.9 wt. % NaCl solution at 37. With an increase of the immersion time, the results show that the Ti (titanium) percentage, austenitic (reverse) transformation start temperature, austenitic (reverse) transformation finish temperature, and maximum residual strain all increase, the Ni (nickel) percentage, martensitic transformation finish temperature, tensile strength, and yield strength decrease, and the martensitic transformation start temperature first decreases and then increases. The research in this work can provide an experimental basis for further study of the SMAs materials in biomedicine applications.
Effect of Printing Parameters and Heat Treatments on Microstructure Development of LPBF Manufactured Inconel 718 Alloy
Authors: Kumnaknoppakun Papatchaya , Uthaisangsuk Vitoon 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Processing parameters of the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technique strongly govern achieved performances and manufacturing defects of printed alloys. In this work, it was aimed to study the effects of LPBF printing parameters and subsequent heat treatments on resulted microstructure characteristics and tensile properties of Inconel 718 alloy. Inconel samples were fabricated using three different energy densities. Then, microstructure features such as Lave phase, primary dendrite arm spacing, and internal residual stresses as microstrains of both as-built and heat-treated specimens were determined. It was found that in the range of used energy densities, alterations of phase fractions and average sizes of the Laves phase were insignificant. Decreased energy density led to microstructures with smaller primary dendrite arm spacing and thus principally contributed to enhanced yield and tensile strengths of as-printed samples, whereas increased porosity greatly deteriorated elongation. Moreover, their flow stress curves could be significantly increased by direct aging; however, typical cellular and columnar substructures occurring during the LPBF printing remained. Homogenization treatment could entirely eliminate such substructures and otherwise caused different formations of delta phase when it was performed prior to a delta process.
IMPACT OF REAL-LIFE ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURES ON REPRODUCTION: Systemic and ovarian impacts of heat stress in the porcine model
Authors: Keating Aileen F , Ross Jason W , Baumgard Lance H 
Published: October 2024

In brief
This review describes how heat stress causes systemic endocrine and metabolic alterations that contribute to intracellular ovarian perturbations, resulting in female infertility.

Abstract
Heat stress (HS) in mammals results from an imbalance in heat accumulation and dissipation. Fertility impairments consequential to HS have been recognized for decades in production animals, and more recently, observations have been extended to other species, including women. There are several systemic impacts of HS that can independently affect reproduction, including metabolic endotoxemia, reduced plane of nutrition, and endocrine disruption. At the level of the ovary, molecular pathways are altered by HS, such as inflammation, JAK–STAT, PI3K, oxidative stress, cell death, and heat shock response. Taken together, impaired ovarian function contributes to seasonal infertility that results from HS. This review paper describes the physiological and endocrine systemic impacts of HS that may independently and collaboratively impair fertility in the porcine model. The review then details ovarian intracellular events that are altered during HS and finally determines future needs in this area of research.
Análisis de la Tipificación de Infracciones y Sanciones Administrativas en la legislación farmacéutica comparada en Perú - Latinoamérica
Authors: Aquino Comun Mery 
Published: October 2024

En este artículo se analiza la tipificación de infracciones y sanciones administrativas según Ley No. 29459 que establece la regulación de productos farmacéuticos, dispositivos médicos y productos sanitarios en Perú, comparándolo con diferentes normativas de Latinoamérica, aunque no se considera todos los países, si los suficientes como para evidenciar las coincidencias y distinciones jurídicas sobre el problema, es así que se compara con la ley de medicamentos de Paraguay, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panamá y Venezuela, a fin de evidenciar si se vulneran los principios de legalidad y tipicidad contenidos en el Art. 2, numeral 24), sección d) de nuestra Carta Magna de 1993. Se aplicó la investigación cualitativa, observacional. Como resultado, se obtiene que la Ley No. 29459 de Perú transgrede dichos principios, porque no define las conductas infractoras, no las califica según su gravedad, no vincula las conductas infractoras con la sanción, tampoco establece los máximos y mínimos de multas, delegando tales acciones a reglamentos con un alto margen de discrecionalidad de la entidad pública traducida en arbitrariedad a diferencia de varios países de Latinoamérica, por lo que se propone incorporar en la Ley No. 29459 la tipificación de infracciones, su calificación y graduación de sanciones.

Published: October 2024

The research aims to collect the hadiths in which those who are under Allah's protection and guarantee are mentioned, the definition of their qualities. The study of those hadiths, with an indication of the virtue of the deeds that brought them to that level, whether these actions are obligatory: such as the dawn prayer (salat alfajr), or supererogatory deeds: such as reading ayat alkursi. It has also mentioned a statement Punishment of those who betrayed Allah in his protection. The research also collects the hadiths that were mentioned in which those who have been acquitted of God’s protection, and what are the deeds that led them to that level? The study of those hadiths is due to the lack of those who told the Prophet, peace be upon him, that they are under God’s protection, or under his guarantee. The research also mentioned those from whom the obligation was acquitted, and the meaning of the responsibility and the guarantee, and Allah's protection and his guarantee.The importance of the research appears: it highlighted the actions that make the servant -Allah's servant- reach a rank in which he deserves God's protection, sponsorship and guarantee. Likewise, until he turns away from deeds that make God disown him. This is not an easy thing for a servant -Allah's servant-to come out of God's protection.The researcher has used the analytical inductive method in collecting, arranging the hadiths, and commenting on them. The researcher has also reached an important conclusion: that there are simple deeds that make the servant -Allah's servant- obtain Allah's protection and safety, and live in God’s guarantee, if Muslim knows these deeds does and preserves them, he finds them simple and easy, as well as a warning to the Muslim from deeds that make him lose that preservation, and safety.
