Familieliv fra et børneperspektiv.
Authors: Kousholt Dorte 
Published: October 2023

Artiklen bidrager med et teoretisk perspektiv på familien som social praksis belyst ud fra børnenes liv. Artiklen trækker på eksempler fra et forskningsprojekt hvor 5-årige børns hverdagsliv på tværs af daginstitution og hjem er fulgt over en periode på 11⁄2 år.
Familiens praksis analyseres ud fra konflikter og dilemmaer i børn og forældres samarbejde om at få en fælles hverdag til at fungere. Artiklen præsenterer et decentreret perspektiv på familien som en del af sociale praksisstrukturer og viser hvordan børnenes hverdag i daginstitutionen får betydning for familiens liv. Der rettes her fokus mod børnefællesskabernes betydning for børnenes deltagelsesmuligheder i daginstitutionen og for organiseringen af familiens liv.
Konflikt og konsensus i tværfagligt samarbejde omkring børn i vanskeligheder
Authors: Larsen Maja Røn 
Published: October 2023

Børn lever deres liv forskellige steder, og sær- ligt for børn i vanskeligheder er der en lang række forskellige parter (Forældre, profes- sionelle og embedsmænd) involveret i arbej- det omkring dem. I de senere år har der for at undgå diskontinuitet og brud i børnenes sammensatte forløb været et stort fokus på at udvikle det tværfaglige samarbejde for at sikre koordinering og målretning af indsatserne om- kring børn i vanskeligheder.
Artiklens hovedtema er en forskningsmæs- sig og empirisk interesse omkring en påfalden- de modsætning i det tværfaglige samarbejde: I mange kommuner begrundes etableringen af en tværfaglig struktur netop i ønsket om at skabe en mere sammensat viden om børns vanskeligheder, hvilket potentielt indebærer, at de forskellige parter har konfliktende perspek- tiver på vanskeligheder i skolen. I artiklens analyser af konkret tværfagligt samarbejde er forskellene mellem parterne imidlertid mindre fremherskende, og den viden, der produce- res, fremtræder ofte entydig og “harmonisk”. Viden om barnets sammensatte hverdagsliv sammen med andre mennesker ser således ud til at nedtones til fordel for viden om særken- detegn ved enkeltbørn, som forklaringer på vanskeligheder omkring barnet.

I artiklen undersøges de institutionelle be- tingelser for dette spændingsfelt mellem mang- foldighed og konfliktualitet på den ene side – og entydighed og konsensus på den anden. Den tværfaglige samarbejdspraksis udforskes gennem analyser af observationer og inter- views med forskellige deltagere. Derigennem etableres viden om, hvordan forskellige mod- stridende betingelser får betydning for sam- arbejdet. Konkret peges på den sideløbende eksistens af to forskellige forståelsesfigurer for børns udvikling: En figur med rødder i positivismen rettet mod afklaring af individu- elle årsager til vanskeligheder og en situeret figur, der peger i retning af identifikation af kontekstuelle betingelser for vanskeligheder. Den centrale pointe er, at de forståelsesfigurer, der gøres brug af, må begribes som en del af forskellige deltageres subjektive håndtering af konkrete modsigelsesfyldte udfordringer i en institutionaliseret praksis. I artiklen diskuteres det således, hvordan de forskellige forståelses- figurer både får betydning for det tværfaglige samarbejde og samtidigt også reproduceres og udvikles gennem det.
Slovak poetry in English translation after the collapse of state socialism: Tracing the trajectories of internationalisation
Authors: Hostová Ivana 
Published: October 2023

Moving literary texts from a peripheral language to a hyper-central one (Heilbron 1999) goes against the general flow of translations, and agents involved in this process play crucial roles in it. In this article, on the case of English translations of Slovak poetry, I set out to investigate how such processes work. My research starts with assembling a bibliography of English translations of Slovak poetry published in book form between 1989 and 2020. The list contains no fewer than 2,500 poems by 161 poets, translated by more than 50 translators. A few observations from the quantitative analysis I conducted help answer such questions as what kind of agents translate poetry in these projects, who gets translated and how likely it is that the volumes reach an international readership. Subsequently, I use tools from Bourdieu’s field theory and Latour’s actor-network theory (ANT) to trace actor-networks pertaining to those translation projects concerning the rendering of two chosen Slovak poets who hold different positions in the Slovak literary field—Mila Haugová (born in 1942) and Milan Richter (born in 1948).

Published: October 2023

Background
The Malayan pangolin (Manis javanica) is a placental mammal and is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Most previous attempts to breed pangolins in captivity have met with little success because of dietary issues, infections, and other complications, although a previous study reported breeding pangolins in captivity to the third generation. In our previous pangolin genome sequencing data analysis, we obtained a considerable amount of bacterial DNA from a pregnant female Malayan pangolin (named “UM3”), which was likely infected by Paraburkholderia fungorum—an agent of biodegradation and bioremediation in agriculture.

Methodology
Here, we further confirmed and characterized this bacterial species using PCR, histological staining, whole-genome sequencing, and bioinformatics approaches. PCR assays with in-house designed primer sets and 16S universal primers showed clear positive bands in the cerebrum, cerebellum, lung, and blood of UM3 suggesting that UM3 might have developed septicaemia. Histological staining showed the presence of Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria in the pangolin brain and lungs, indicating the colonization of the bacteria in these two organs. In addition, PCR screening of UM3’s fetal tissues revealed the presence of P. fungorum in the gastrocnemius muscle, but not in other tissues that we examined. We also sequenced and reconstructed the genome of pangolin P. fungorum, which has a genome size of 7.7 Mbps.

Conclusion
Our study is the first to present detailed evidence of the presence of P. fungorum in a pangolin and her fetus (although preliminary results were presented in our previous article). Here, we raise the concern that P. fungorum may potentially infect humans, especially YOPI (young, old, pregnant, and immunocompromised) people. Therefore, caution should be exercised when using this bacterial species as biodegradation or bioremediation agents in agriculture.

Published: October 2023

Background
Root-associated microbes of the mangrove trees play important roles in protecting and maintaining mangrove ecosystems. At present, most of our understanding of mangrove root-related microbial diversity is obtained from specific mangrove species in selected geographic regions. Relatively little is known about the composition of the bacterial microbiota existing in disparate mangrove species microenvironments, particularly the relationship among different mangrove species in tropical environments.

Methods
We collected the root, rhizosphere soil, and non-rhizosphere soil of four mangrove trees (Acanthus ilicifolius, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Clerodendrum inerme, and Lumnitzera racemosa) and detected the 16S rRNA gene by a conventional PCR. We performed high throughput sequencing using Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform (2 × 250 paired ends) to investigate the bacterial communities related with the different mangrove species.

Results
We analyzed the bacterial diversity and composition related to the diverse ecological niches of mangrove species. Our data confirmed distinct distribution patterns of bacterial communities in the three rhizocompartments of the four mangrove species. Microbiome composition varied with compartments and host mangrove species. The bacterial communities between the endosphere and the other two compartments were distinctly diverse independent of mangrove species. The large degree of overlap in critical community members of the same rhizocompartment across distinct mangrove species was found at the phylum level. Furthermore, this is the first report of Acidothermus found in mangrove environments. In conclusion, understanding the complicated host-microbe associations in different mangrove species could lay the foundation for the exploitation of the microbial resource and the production of secondary metabolites.
Evaluation of Nitrogen Dioxide, Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylene Concentrations in the Urban Environment of Meknes City, Morocco

Published: October 2023

The present study focuses on the monitoring and the evaluation of air quality in the city of Meknes, based on the tracers of pollution of proximity cars (NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) and BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene). In the absence of a telemetric station and a mobile laboratory within the city, passive diffusion tubes, analyzed offline in the laboratory after exposure, were the most plausible solution. The low cost, ease of implementation of the technique, and the possibility of covering a large geographic area with many samplers all argue for adopting this approach.
The coupling of the results of the measurement campaigns and counting sessions under a geographical information system allowed us to determine the most affected areas by automobile pollution and to carry out cartography at a large scale of spatial resolution of the prospected pollutants.
The deployment of passive sensors at 14 measurement sites revealed the existence of spatio-temporal variability of the pollutants studied. This variability is due to the climatic conditions that prevailed during the measurement campaigns, notably wind and precipitation, the photochemical nature of the said markers, the proximity to the emission sources, the type of measurement site, and the topography and road infrastructure.
The approach developed could be used as a decision-making tool for the competent authorities in this field and adapted for monitoring other types of pollutants (pesticides, tracers generated by industrial units, furan dioxins, etc.).
Indoor Air Quality and Risks Connected to Laundry Operations in Ibadan Metropolis, Nigeria
Authors: Olanrewaju John A.  , Ana Godson R.  
Published: October 2023

During washing, ironing, and dyeing, laundry workers are exposed to chemicals that could be damaging to their health and the environment. These chemicals can cause everything from throat and skin irritation to cancer. Information on indoor air quality (IAQ) in laundry environments in underdeveloped nations, particularly Nigeria, was scarce. As a result, the study evaluated the risks to indoor air quality related with laundry activities in the Nigerian metropolis of Ibadan.
In Ibadan North (IBN), Ibadan North-East (IBNE), Ibadan South-West (IBSW), Ibadan North-West (IBNW), and Ibadan South-East (IBSE), 50 out of 100 consenting laundry operators were randomly chosen to participate in a descriptive cross-sectional survey.
Multi Testers N21FR were used to monitor temperature and relative humidity (RH). Using a Met One GT 321, CO2 meter, and an air sampler, the IAQ parameters were tracked. The values obtained for all parameters were compared to WHO limits of (Temp) 26°C, RH 60%, (PM10) 50g/m3, (TBC) 5x102 CFU/m3, and (CO2) 1,000ppm (ASHRAE) every day for eight weeks. With SPSS (version 20), Chi-square, Pearson Correlation, and p0.05, descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.
Both the mean indoor and outdoor total bacterial counts (TBC) CFU/m3 values were much lower than the WHO-recommended guideline limit of 5x102 CFU/m3. While indoor RH and temperature were above WHO guideline levels, PM10 and CO2 were below WHO and ASHRAE guideline levels, respectively, and TBC and TFC were within WHO guideline limits in all research locations. Therefore, it is recommended to boost cross ventilations in the laundry rooms to improve indoor air quality.
IAQ appeared to be impaired in the laundry environment in Ibadan, Nigeria. To better maintain thermal comfort parameters and lower levels of chemical pollutants released by launderers and product use during services, mechanical ventilation systems in laundry environments need to be upgraded with regard to operation and maintenance.
Comparative Efficacy of Cypermethrin and Plant Extract in the Control of Cucumber Pests in Ado Ekiti, Southwestern Nigeria
Authors: Falade M. J.  
Published: October 2023

Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus) is widely cultivated and consumed in the tropics as a source of fruit vegetable for man due to its numerous health benefits. Attainable yield in the farmers farm is considerably low due to the problem of insect pest attack. Based on the above, experiment was conducted to investigate the efficacy of cypermethrin and three plant extracts (Datura stramonium, Ricinus communis and Sida acuta) in the control of insect pest associated with cucumber. Cucumber variety Cu 999 was planted on a 2 x 2 m at a spacing of 40cm x 40cm. three concentrations of the extracts was used in the control of the pest and cypermethrin insecticide was used as a standard check. The control plot in each case was sprayed with distilled water. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance and means separated using least significant different at (p ≤ 0.05). Result from the study shows statistically significant variations. Eight insect pests belonging to different families were frequently observed on the cucumber. Incidence of normal fruits were generally higher than abnormal fruits at all the tested concentrations. At 65 % concentration with extracts of D. stranmonium, incidence of normal fruit (80.3 %) was not significantly different from that of cypermethrin insecticide (82.6 %). Yield of cucumber sprayer with 65% concentration of D. stramonium (250 kg/ha) was not significantly different from that of cypermethrin insecticide (254 kg/ha). The study concluded that extracts of the three plants can replace the synthetic insecticide in the management of the insect plant of cucumber with corresponding yield.

Published: October 2023

Aims: Microbial infestation of nuts and dried foods with the resultant production of aflatoxin is a global challenge to human health. This study aims to ascertain the safety of vended ready-to-eat cashews, groundnut and breadfruit.
Study Design: This work is based on a completely randomized design with two replications and the average values calculated for the mean comparison.
Place and Duration of Study: Imadavistic Laboratory, Port Harcourt and the Department of Biotechnology, Federal Institute of industrial Research, Oshodi, Nigeria, between January and November, 2022.
Methodology: Forty samples purchased randomly were examined for proximate composition, microbial safety and presence of aflatoxins using standard conventional and molecular methods.
Results: The respective mean percentage proximate compositions for groundnut, cashew and breadfruit were: protein (33.1±0.1, 14.9±0.3, 19.7±2.0), Carbohydrate (10.7±0.8, 16.5±2.2, 38.2±0.6), lipid (40.1±2.5, 34.3±1.3, 12.3±0.6), ash (1.8±0.1, 26.9±1.3,1.8±0.1), fiber (7.2±1.5, 20.3±0.6, 26.9±1.3) and moisture (7.0±0.1, 4.0±0.5, 7.8±1.6). Mycological count for groundnut, cashew and breadfruit ranged from 17 to 33; 5 to 17 and 2 to 17 log10 cfu/g, respectively. The mycological studies revealed that there were Aspergillus spp., Candida albicans, Mucor sp., Rhizopus sp., Fusarium sp., Penicillium sp. and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Aflatoxigenicity results reveal that 31.3% (10 of 32) of the fungi identified were able to produce aflatoxin and they were principally Aspergillus flavus. The range of aflatoxin in the samples was 6.96362 µg/kg of aflatoxin B1 in breadfruit obtained from Oji and Ekeonuwa to 1.07668 µg/kg of aflatoxin B2 obtained in cashew nuts from Rumokoro and Choba.
Conclusion: The presence of aflatoxins, though within acceptable doses, underscores the need for proper processing of these roasted snacks.

The incidence of gundhi bug, showed significant negative correlation with minimum, maximum temperature and relative humidity correlation while rainfall and sun shine showed non-significant negative correlation and non-significant positive correlation respectively.
Spatiotemporal organization of cryptic North American Culex species along an urbanization gradient
Authors: Arsenault‐Benoit Arielle , Fritz Megan L. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Landscape heterogeneity creates diverse habitat and resources for mosquito vectors of disease. A consequence may be varied distribution and abundance of vector species over space and time dependent on niche requirements.

We tested the hypothesis that landscape heterogeneity driven by urbanization influences the distribution and relative abundance of Culex pipiens, Cx. restuans and Cx. quinquefasciatus, three vectors of West Nile virus (WNv) in the eastern North American landscape. We collected 9803 cryptic Culex from urban, suburban and rural sites in metropolitan Washington, District of Columbia, during the months of June–October, 2019–2021. In 2021, we also collected mosquitoes in April and May to measure early season abundance and distribution. Molecular techniques were used to identify a subset of collected Culex to species (n = 2461). Ecological correlates of the spatiotemporal distribution of these cryptic Culex were examined using constrained and unconstrained ordination.

Seasonality was not associated with Culex community composition in June–October over 3 years, but introducing April and May data revealed seasonal shifts in community composition in the final year of our study. Culex pipiens were dominant across site types, while Cx. quinquefasciatus were associated with urban environments, and Cx. restuans were associated with rural and suburban sites. All three species rarely coexisted.

Our work demonstrates that human‐mediated land‐use changes influence the distribution and relative abundance of Culex vectors of WNv, even on fine geospatial scales. Site classification, per cent impervious surface, distance to city centre and longitude predicted Culex community composition. We documented active Culex months before vector surveillance typically commences in this region, with Culex restuans being most abundant during April and May. Active suppression of Cx. restuans in April and May could reduce early enzootic transmission, delay the seasonal spread of WNv and thereby reduce overall WNv burden. By June, the highest risk of epizootic spillover of WNv to human hosts may be in suburban areas with high human population density and mixed Culex assemblages that can transmit WNv between birds and humans. Focusing management efforts there may further reduce human disease burden.
Evaluation of a head rest prototype for rotational corrections in three degrees of freedom

Published: October 2023

AbstractCranial stereotactic irradiations require accurate reproduction of the planning CT patient position at the time of treatment, including removal of rotational offsets. A device prototype was evaluated for potential clinical use to correct rotational positional offsets in image‐guided radiotherapy workflow. Analysis was carried out with a prototype device “RPS head” by gKteso GmbH, rotatable up to 4° in three dimensions by hand wheels. A software tool accounts for the nonrectangular rotation axes and also indicates translational motions to be performed with the standard couch to correct the initial offset and translational shifts introduced by the rotational motion. The accuracy of angular corrections and positioning of an Alderson RANDO head phantom using the prototype device was evaluated for nine treatment plans for cranial targets. Corrections were obtained from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. The phantom position was adjusted and the final position was then verified by another CBCT. The long‐term stability of the prototype device was evaluated. Attenuation by the device along its three main axes was assessed. A planning study was performed to evaluate if regions of high‐density material can be avoided during plan generation. The device enabled the accurate correction of rotational offsets in a clinical setup with a mean residual angular difference of (0.0 ± 0.1)° and a maximum deviation of 0.2°. Translational offsets were less than 1 mm. The device was stable over a period of 20 min, not changing the head support plate position by more than (0.7 ± 0.6) mm. The device contains high‐density material in the adjustment mechanism and slightly higher density in the support structures. These can be avoided during planning generation maintaining comparable plan quality. The head positioning device can be used to correct rotational offsets in a clinical setting.
