Authors: Garcés Gonzalo , Forcael Eric , Osorio Cristian , Castañeda Karen , Sánchez Omar 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The construction sector is a fundamental pillar of the economy and should consequently lead in implementing effective management systems. Lean Construction (LC) philosophy sees production as a transformation, flow, and value process. Its objective is to establish efficient production systems that minimize delivery times. Previous studies indicate that integrating LC into construction project management processes can address issues such as cost overruns, labor expenses, and material waste. However, this emerging philosophy still lacks a complete understanding of its advantages, limitations, and synergies with sustainability. This paper presents a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of relevant topics to evaluate its potential. Through the analysis of 36 documents, publication trends and the state of the art on Lean Construction are identified. The research method proposed for the development of this study consisted of two stages. The first stage focused on studying the interactions between Lean Construction and construction project management through a systematic literature review. The second stage focused on the study of the main connections and latest trends in the field of Lean, based on a qualitative analysis. The results show that Lean construction focuses on optimizing and sustaining construction projects by taking advantage of the potential benefits of BIM through methodical and intelligent management. The emergence of new tools offers a promising perspective for the future of Lean construction in project management.

Abstract

Background
Avian pox viruses (APVs) are highly contagious poultry diseases, posing a major economic threat to poultry production systems, and have a high mortality rate among young birds, Infected birds also face condemnation of affected carcasses due to the unsightly appearance of the nodular skin lesions.
This study aimed to provide an overview of the current genetic status of APV in backyard poultry, with a focus on the commercially available vaccines. To achieve this, molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of APVs were conducted, comparing their sequences with vaccine strains used in Egypt.

Results
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was able to detect APV in all the tested samples; 12 positive samples (6 chicken flocks and 6 pigeon flocks) were selected for DNA sequencing. The sequences were submitted to GenBank with accession numbers OR027032 to OR027043. The chicken strains exhibited 100% nucleotide identity with commercially available fowl pox virus (FPV) vaccines and were phylogenetically clustered within subclade A1 with other FPVs. On the other hand, the pigeon pox virus (PPV) strains were closely related to other PPV strains within subclade A2 and showing 100% and 91% nucleotide identity with the PPV and the FPV vaccines, respectively.

Conclusions
Despite the availability of APV vaccines in Egypt, a persistent threat of APV to poultry in the backyard system remains a significant concern. Our molecular characterization revealed the high genetic similarity between our field strains and commercially available vaccine strains, suggesting an urgent need for vaccination in backyard systems to counteract this emerging threat to bird populations.
Limits of Disclosure Regulation in the Municipal Bond Market
Authors: Ivanov Ivan T. , Zimmermann Tom , Heinrich Nathan W. 
Published: January 2025

We examine the effectiveness of recent federal disclosure regulation aiming to improve transparency in the $4 trillion municipal bond market. Governments fail to disclose material private placements 50%–60% of the time and, conditional on disclosure, filings often omit contract details essential for bond pricing. Noncompliant issuers are significantly riskier than compliers, with disclosure decreasing in the potential of privately placed debt to adversely affect bondholders. We show that disclosure reveals positive news and is especially informative to investors in low-rated bonds or during market crises. Overall, privately placed debt continues to pose significant risks to municipal bond investors. This paper was accepted by Victoria Ivashina, finance. Funding: T.

Published: January 2025

Growing evidence of resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to methicillin (MRSA) is worrying. Domestic pigs are potential asymptomatic carriers of S. aureus, including strains resistant to methicillin, which poses a serious threat to meat consumers. This study was therefore aimed at assessing the prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in nasal swaps of selected pigs. This study investigated one hundred and fifty (150) nasal swabs of pigs from fifteen (15) selected pig farms (PGF) within Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, to assess their levels of exposure to S. aureus and MRSA carriage. Isolation, characterization, and identification of S. aureus and MRSA were done using Mannitol Salt Agar (Oxoid, UK) and Mannitol Salt Agar supplemented with 4µg/ml oxacillin, respectively. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns were done using disc diffusion protocols, while presence of MRSA mecA genes was characterised using PCR. Thirty percent (30 %) of 150 analyzed swabs were positive for S. aureus, of which 13 (28.9 %) contained MRSA. MRSA were found in nasal swabs of animals from 9 different farms. All 13 (100%) MRSA isolates contained the mecA gene and were resistant to penicillin, 5 (38.5 %) were resistant to vancomycin and were characterized by multidrug resistance. The results of this study show that 38.5 % of examined pigs were infected with MRSA posing a serious threat to humans. These findings highlight the significant threat posed by MRSA in pigs, raising concerns for human health and emphasizing the importance of effective surveillance and control measures in livestock production to mitigate the transmission of antibiotic-resistant pathogens to consumers. Therefore, it was concluded that the MRSA was detected in pig from 9 different farms, indicating a widespread distribution.

The assessment of the effect of replacing fish meal with groundnut cake in the diet of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus was carried out in a twelve-week feeding trial. The objective of the study was to determine the appropriate level of groundnut cake inclusion in fish feed diet. Ten Nile tilapia fingerlings with mean weight of 7.55±0.50g were stocked in experimental tanks in triplicate. Varying levels of groundnut cake were incorporated in the experimental diets formulated; the control diet, Diet 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 having 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% inclusion level respectively. The experimental diet five exhibited the highest mean weight gain (8.00±1.68) and specific growth rate. But recorded the least significant feed conversion ratio (4.01±1.10). The diet also recorded the best protein efficiency ratio (1.37±0.30). There was significant difference observed in the growth performance, haematological values and biochemical values in fish fed with groundnut cake compared to the control diet. A reduction in the cholesterol (1.66±0.13) and Albumin (40.20±1.10) values were observed in fish fed groundnut cake based diet compared with the fish fed with the control diet having cholesterol and albumin values to be 1.83±0.07 and 40.60±1.60 respectively. It was observed that the use of groundnut cake in fish feed for O. niloticus enhances the growth of the fish. The 100% substitution shows highest weight gain, low FCR and low level of cholesterol. In conclusion, 80% partial replacement of fish meal in fish feed with groundnut cake should be encouraged.

Published: January 2025

Fish is an affordable protein source in developing countries such as Nigeria, however, human activities like mining, agriculture, and industrial discharges negatively impact these aquatic resources and their environment. Heavy metals leach into the ocean and accumulate in fish, potentially causing health issues for those who consume them. The present study evaluated the heavy metal concentrations in five commercially important and highly consumed fish species (Clupea pallasii, Merluccius productus, Gadus chalcogrammus, Scomber scombrus, Trachurus murphyi) in Nigeria. The study was conducted between August 2021 to January 2022, and Mn, Fe, Zn, Pb, Cd levels were sampled in a total of 50 fish using the AA 240 Fanst Sequential Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and expressed as mg/kg wet weight. Among the heavy metals estimated in all fish samples, Mn was the most prevalent, while Zn was relatively the lowest. Pb (6.39 mg/kg), Cd (1.39 mg/kg), and Fe (5.59 mg/kg) concentrations exceeded the FAO and WHO regulatory limits and may be deleterious to human health. Therefore, while essential as a protein source, the presence of heavy metals exceeding recommended limits in these commonly consumed imported fish species raises public health concerns. This study emphasizes the crucial need for stricter regulations and consistent monitoring of imported fish to guarantee their safety and consumer well-being in Nigeria.

Technology is one of the crucial factor influences the aquaculture production; hence it is essential to encourage fish farmers to embrace modern methods of fish production by utilizing improved fisheries and aquaculture technologies This study assessed the factors that influence adoption of improved fish production technologies in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study adopted survey design and data were collected through structured questionnaire administered to 150 fish farmers by adopting multistage sampling procedure. It was observed that majority of the respondents were male, married, literate and made use of family labor. The study also found that fish enclosure technologies, neutralizers/fertilizers, and fish stock selectivity/harvesting gear systems were distributed among fish farmers in the study area, with earthen fish ponds being the most widely adopted technology. Furthermore, the study revealed that fish farmers generally had positive attitudes towards the use of improved technologies. The study also found that high production costs were the most significant constraint to the adoption of improved technologies, followed by inadequate contact with extension agents and non-availability of input. The study conclude that the adoption of improved fish production technologies could increase fish production in Ogun State, Nigeria, but there is a need for interventions to address the constraints hindering the adoption of improved fisheries technologies in the study area.

Las infecciones del tracto respiratorio constituyen una de las principales causas de consulta a urgencias y hospitalización, en pacientes con situaciones clínicas graves o inmunosupresión es importante realizar un diagnóstico etiológico que permita realizar un tratamiento dirigido para evitar complicaciones. Las pruebas moleculares cuentan con la aprobación de la agencia U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) y tiene aprobación para ser realizadas en pacientes ingresados en la unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos en la Fundación Hospital Pediátrico la Misericordia de Bogotá, Colombia. Propósito: Es un estudio descriptivo que abarca toda población hospitalizada durante el año 2019 con el objetivo de describir eventos clínicos asociados a patógenos de vías respiratorias detectados en los pacientes con los siguientes criterios de inclusión: eventos de neumonía complicada, inmunocomprometidos o con factores de riesgo tales como enfermedad renal crónica, fibrosis quística, obesidad, displasia broncopulmonar o cardiopatía congénita. Resultados: no se detectaron bacterias en ninguna muestra, los microrganismos más frecuentes fueron Enterovirus/rhinovirus humano (44.2%), Virus sincitial respiratorio (33.9%), Adenovirus (18.6%), Metapneumovirus (7%) e Influenza AH1 2009/Influenza B (6.9%). Conclusiones: La detección exclusiva en las pruebas moleculares de infecciones virales en pacientes con situaciones clínicas graves nos permite tener mayor conciencia de la importancia de estos microorganismos en infecciones graves, especialmente en situaciones de inmunosupresión en donde hay compromiso para manejar varios tipos de agentes, sin embargo, es importante anotar que la mayoría de agentes virales detectados no tienen tratamiento etiológico específico, excepto en 3 casos de influenza tratados con oseltamivir.

O processo de nomeação é uma atividade inerente ao homem que, ao nomear, consegue não só identificar, mas também diferenciar e categorizar coisas, lugares e/ou seres vivos, além de recuperar aspectos da inter-relação entre léxico, cultura e ambiente. A Toponímia, disciplina da Onomástica, fornece parâmetros teórico-metodológicos para o estudo dos nomes próprios de lugares (origem, evolução, filiação linguística, motivação). Este artigo discute resultados de estudo sobre 51 topônimos que nomeiam rios, igarapés, cachoeiras, montanhas etc. das áreas rurais dos seis municípios que compõem a região imediata de Bragança/Pará – Bragança, Augusto Corrêa, Tracuateua, Viseu, Cachoeira do Piriá, Santa Luzia do Pará (IBGE, 2017). Para tanto, analisa os dados do corpus em termos taxonômicos e linguísticos, assim como a representatividade histórica e cultural das denominações. Do ponto de vista teórico, o artigo é orientado por contribuições de Dick (1990; 1992; 1998; 1999; 2004) e Isquerdo (1997; 2008; 2012a; 2012b; 2016). Para a análise linguística dos topônimos foram consultadas as obras de Houaiss (2001), Sampaio (1987) e Cunha (1998; 2010). O corpus em estudo foi extraído dos mapas municipais oficiais do IBGE (2020), com escalas que variam de 1:200 a 1: 4.000, e sistematizado, por meio de quadros organizados segundo os tópicos da ficha lexicográfico-toponímica proposta por Dick (2004). A análise parcial dos 51 topônimos catalogados apontou três taxes com maior índice de produtividade – 23,52% de fitotopônimos (igarapé Piquiá), 13,72% de zootopônimos (rio Urumajó) e 13,72% de litotopônimos (rio das Pedras) – todas de natureza física. 49,04% dos topônimos enquadram-se em outras classificações. Em síntese, o estudo apontou características subjacentes ao processo de nomeação de acidentes físicos[1] que integram os municípios da região selecionada, recuperando aspectos físicos e ambientais da região evidenciados em topônimos como rio Jenipau-mirim, igarapé da Onça, igarapé Açu e lago Campo de cima.

[1] Acidente físico: “qualquer feição topográfica que possa ser observada visualmente. O termo engloba feições topográficas naturais e artificiais. Exemplo: morro, rio, estrada, edificação, mas não, por exemplo, uma fronteira política não demarcada” (Kadmon, s/d, p. 6), o mesmo que feição topográfica e entidade topográfica conforme a mesma fonte. Neste estudo mantém-se o uso do termo acidente físico, tradicionalmente utilizado nas pesquisas toponímicas no Brasil.
