Background
Locally-acquired mpox cases were rarely reported outside Africa until May 2022, when locally-acquired-mpox cases occurred in various European countries.

Aim
We describe the mpox epidemic in France, including demographic and behavioural changes among a subset of cases, during its course.

Methods
Data were retrieved from the enhanced national surveillance system until 30 September 2022. Laboratory-confirmed cases tested positive for monkeypox virus or orthopoxviruses by PCR; non-laboratory-confirmed cases had clinical symptoms and an epidemiological link to a laboratory-confirmed case. A subset of ≥ 15-year-old male cases, notified until 1 August, was interviewed for epidemiological, clinical and sexual behaviour information. Association of symptom-onset month with quantitative outcomes was evaluated by t- or Wilcoxon tests, and with binary outcomes, by Pearson’s chi-squared or Fisher exact tests.

Results
A total of 4,856 mpox cases were notified, mostly in Île-de-France region (62%; 3,025/4,855). Cases aged ≥ 15 years were predominantly male (97%; 4,668/4,812), with 37 years (range: 15–81) as mean age. Between May and July, among the subset interviewed, mpox cases increased in regions other than Île-de-France, and mean age rose from 35 (range: 21–64) to 38 years (range: 16–75; p = 0.007). Proportions of cases attending men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) meeting venues declined from 60% (55/91) to 46% (164/359; p = 0.012); median number of sexual partners decreased from four (interquartile range (IQR): 1–10) to two (IQR: 1–4; p < 0.001).

Conclusion
Changes in cases’ characteristics during the epidemic, could reflect virus spread from people who were more to less behaviourally vulnerable to mpox between May and July, or MSM reducing numbers of sexual partners as recommended.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic resulted in adaptation in infection control measures, increased patient transfer, high occupancy of intensive cares, downscaling of non-urgent medical procedures and decreased travelling.AimTo gain insight in the influence of these changes on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) prevalence in the Netherlands, a country with a low AMR prevalence, we estimated changes in demographics and prevalence of six highly resistant microorganisms (HRMO) in hospitalised patients in the Netherlands during COVID-19 waves (March–June 2020, October 2020–June 2021, October 2021–May 2022 and June–August 2022) and interwaves (July–September 2020 and July–September 2021) compared with pre-COVID-19 (March 2019–February 2020).MethodsWe investigated data on routine bacteriology cultures of hospitalised patients, obtained from 37 clinical microbiological laboratories participating in the national AMR surveillance. Demographic characteristics and HRMO prevalence were calculated as proportions and rates per 10,000 hospital admissions.ResultsAlthough no significant persistent changes in HRMO prevalence were detected, some relevant non-significant patterns were recognised in intensive care units. Compared with pre-COVID-19 we found a tendency towards higher prevalence of meticillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureusduring waves and lower prevalence of multidrug-resistantPseudomonas aeruginosaduring interwaves. Additionally, during the first three waves, we observed significantly higher proportions and rates of cultures withEnterococcus faecium(pooled 10% vs 6% and 240 vs 120 per 10,000 admissions) and coagulase-negative Staphylococci (pooled 21% vs 14% and 500 vs 252 per 10,000 admissions) compared with pre-COVID-19.ConclusionWe observed no substantial changes in HRMO prevalence in hospitalised patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pendekatan penelitian ini yaitu penelitian lapangan dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data berupa wawancara, observasi lapangan dan studi dokumentasi. Analisis data yaitu melalui teknik reduksi data, menyajikan data yang terpilih secara keseluruhan, kemudian menarik kesimpulan dari hasil analisis data yang diperoleh. Keadaan lapangan yang peneliti temukan bahwa dalam sistem disribusi ikan tuna di Bajoe menggunakan sistem distribusi tidak langsung yang melibatkan prantara-prantara didalamnya yaitu nelayan (paggai dan pa’ba), pedagang pengumpul, pedagang ecer (pasar dan pa’gandeng), dan konsumen. Sistem distribusi ikan tuna di Bajoe dalam perspektif ekonomi syariah dalam beberapa proses ada yang sesuai dengan ekonomi syariah namun ada pula yang tidak sesuai dengan ekonomi syariah yaitu etikan pihak yang terlibat di dalamnya. This study aims to determine how the mechanism of the tuna catch distribution system that occurs in Bajoe Village and is related to how the Islamic economic perspective on this matter. This thesis is a field research with a descriptive qualitative approach using data collection techniques in the form of interviews, field observations and documentation studies. In analyzing data through data reduction techniques, presenting selected data as a whole, then drawing conclusions from the results of data analysis obtained. The field situation that the researchers found was that the tuna distribution system in Bajoe uses an indirect distribution system involving intermediaries in it, namely fishermen (paggai and pa'ba), collecting traders, retail traders (markets and pa'gandeng), and consumers. The tuna distribution system in Bajoe in the perspective of the Islamic economy in some processes is in accordance with the Islamic economy but some are not in accordance with the Islamic economy, namely the ethics of the parties involved in it.
Uniqueness of Meromorphic Functions With Nonlinear Differential Polynomials Sharing a Small Function IM

Published: December 2023

In the paper, we discuss the distribution of uniqueness and its elements over the extended complex plane from different polynomials of view. We obtain some new results regarding the structure and position of uniqueness. These new results have immense applications like classifying different expressions to be or not to be unique. The principal objective of the paper is to study the uniqueness of meromorphic functions when sharing a small function $a(z)$ IM with restricted finite order and its nonlinear differential polynomials. The lemma on the logarithmic derivative by Halburb and Korhonen (Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, \textbf{314} (2006), 477--87) is the starting point of this kind of research. In this direction, the current focus in this field involves exploring unique results for the differential-difference polynomials of meromorphic functions, covering both derivatives and differences. Liu et al. (Applied Mathematics A Journal of Chinese Universities, \textbf{27} (2012), 94--104) have notably contributed to this research. Their research establishes that when $n \leq k + 2$ for a finite-order transcendental entire function $f$ the differential-difference polynomial$[f^{n}f(z+c)]^{(k)} - \alpha(z)$ has infinitely many zeros. Here, $\alpha(z)$ is characterized by its smallness relatively to $f$. Additionally, for two distinct meromorphic functions $f$ and $g$, both of finite order, if the differential-difference polynomials $[f^{n}f(z+c)]^{(k)}$\ and\ $[g^{n}g(z+c)]^{(k)}$ share the value $1$ in the same set, then $f(z)=c_1e^{dz},$ $g(z)=c_2e^{-dz}.$ We prove two results, which significantly generalize the results of Dyavanal and Mathai (Ukrainian Math. J., \textbf{71} (2019), 1032--1042), and Zhang and Xu (Comput. Math. Appl., \textbf{61} (2011), 722-730) and citing a proper example we have shown that the result is true only for a particular case. Finally, we present the compact version of the same result as an improvement.

Kebijakan pengelolaan sampah memberikan konsekuensi bagi pemerintah daerah dalam menyelenggarakan pengelolaan sampah yang salah satunya yaitu melalui penyediaan dan pengoperasian tempat pemrosesan akhir (TPA). Kabupaten Gresik dihadapkan pada permasalahan utama dalam pengelolaan sampah yakni keterbatasan TPA sehingga turut mempengaruhi kemampuan pemerintah daerah dalam penyelenggaraan pengelolaan sampah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan implementasi kebijakan pengelolaan sampah di TPA Ngipik Kabupaten Gresik. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis yang digunakan yaitu model interaktif menurut Miles dan Huberman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan pengelolaan sampah di TPA Ngipik Kabupaten Gresik ditinjau berdasarkan model implementasi Edward III yang meliputi empat fokus yakni komunikasi, sumber daya, disposisi dan struktur birokrasi dapat dikatakan sudah terimplementasikan namun belum optimal. 1) pada fokus komunikasi telah terlaksana secara efektif diantara implementor; 2) pada fokus sumber daya belum optimal, hal ini dikarenakan pada sumber daya staff secara kuantitas dan kualitas belum mencukupi kebutuhan, selain itu sumber daya fasilitas yang terbatas berdampak pada ketidakefektifan implementasi kebijakan. Meskipun demikian, sumber daya informasi telah mencukupi dan kewenangan telah terdistribusikan dengan baik sehingga tidak ada tumpang tindih atas pelaksanaan wewenang dalam mengimplementasikan kebijakan; 3) pada dokus disposisi menunjukkan adanya komitmen implementor dalam mewujudkan kebijakan; 4) pada fokus struktur birokrasi didukung dengan adanya Standar Operasional Prosedur (SOP) dan UPT TPA yang bertujuan untuk mengorganisir penyelenggaraan pengelolaan sampah di TPA sesuai dengan kebijakan.

Published: December 2023

The present study aimed to assess the incidence, risk, and timing of fractures in patients undergoing hemodialysis with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), following the correction of mineral and bone disorders (MBD).
Methods. This prospective cohort open-label study involving 242 patients was conducted between 2019 and 2022. The patients were categorized into three groups based on MBD treatment. Group 1 (n=64) represented a historical cohort without modern treatment, while Group 2 (n=153) received contemporary MBD and SHPT correction. Group 3 (n=22) included patients prescribed selective vitamin D receptor activators in addition to modern therapy.Patients underwent regular assessments, including calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone measurements every three months, therapy adjustments, fracture diagnosis, and treatment over a 24-month follow-up period.
Results. Our findings revealed a significantly higher cumulative proportion of patients without bone fractures in Group 2 compared to the historical control, with survival rates of 75.8% and 92.6%, respectively (p=0.0006). The average life expectancy before fractures in Group 2 was 695.77±10.19 days, significantly longer than the historical group (p < 0.0001), and the risk of bone fractures decreased by more than four times (HR 0.2274, 95% CI: 0.0965 – 0.5358).
Comparing Groups 1 and 3 showed even more positive outcomes. The cumulative proportion of patients without fractures at the end of the study was 75.8% in Group 1 and 95.5% in Group 3 (p = 0.0441), with a life expectancy before fractures of 630.88±24.29 days and 724.38±5.48 days, respectively (p < 0.0001). The risk for bone fractures decreased by one-third in Group 3 (HR 0.3390, 95% CI: 0.0838 - 0.9058). The average life expectancy before fractures in Group 3 was significantly longer than in Group 2 (p < 0.0001), although the cumulative proportion of patients without fractures did not differ significantly (95.5% vs. 92.6%, p > 0.05).
Conclusions. The study demonstrates that correcting SHPT and MBD with non-calcium phosphate binders, calcimimetics, and paricalcitol or vitamin D reduces fracture incidence and risk, and increases the treatment duration until a fracture episode occurs in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

The purpose of this research is to find out the generic structure and grammatical problems encountered by the non-English students at Muhammadiyah University of Riau. The data was obtained through students writing task namely writing English paragraphs of descriptive text. The writing task was given through Learning System Management (LSM) of the university named Sikuli. The participants of this research were the Non-English students taking the English subject in the first semester in academic year of 2021/2022 at Muhammadiyah University of Riau. The samples of this research were 4 classes consisting of a number of students for each class taken randomly spreading in eight faculties. They were from Computer Science faculty (40), Communication Science faculty (28), Natural Science and Health faculty (45), and Teacher Training and Education faculty (25). The total number of students are 138. The researchers applied the theory of Gerot and Wignel (1994) and Halliday et al. (2014) from the perspective of systemic functional linguistics. In generic structure, the appropriateness and inappropriateness in formulating identification and descriptions in descriptive text were described. While, in grammatical case, the writing students were analyzed based on the theory proposed by Yarber and Yarber (2010) and Dye (2005). After the data was analyzed, the results were obtained. It was showed that the non-English students at Muhammadiyah University of Riau in writing English paragraphs of descriptive text got serious problem on writing identification (115/83%) as one of the generic structure in descriptive text. In addition, they also encountered grammatical problems such as noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, parallelism, modifiers, subject-verb agreement, punctuation, and capitalization. Based on the numbers and the percentage of the grammatical problems above, it showed that the non-English students at Muhammadiyah University of Riau got serious problem on subject-verb agreement (129 / 14,16%).

Background: Glycogen storage disease type 5 (GSD) is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic myopathy caused by a deficiency of the enzyme muscle glycogen phosphorylase. Individuals with GSD5 experience physical activity intolerance. Objective: This patient-led study aimed to capture the daily life experiences of GSD5, with a focus on adapting to and coping with their physical activity intolerance. Methods: An online survey was composed in close collaboration with patient organizations. It consisted of customized and validated questionnaires on demographics, general health and comorbidities, physical activity, psychosocial well-being and functioning, pain, fatigue and adapting to and coping with GSD5. Results: One hundred sixty-two participants (16 countries) participated. The majority, n = 86 (69%) were from the Netherlands, USA or UK. We observed a high rate of misdiagnosis prior to GSD5 diagnosis (49%), surprisingly a relatively high proportion had not been diagnosed by DNA testing which is the gold standard. Being diagnosed had a strong impact on emotional status, daily life activities and important life choices. A large proportion had not received any rehabilitation (41%) nor medical treatment (57%) before diagnosis. Engagement in vigorous and moderate physical activity was reduced. Health related quality of life was low, most likely related to low physical health. The median Fatigue Severity Score was 4.3, indicating moderate to severe fatigue. Participants themselves had found various ways to adapt to and cope with their disability. The adaptations concerned all aspect of their life, including household chores, social and physical activities, and work. In addition to lack of support, participants reported limited availability of information sources. Conclusion: Participants have provided guidance for newly diagnosed people, including the advice to accept one’s limited abilities and maintain an active lifestyle. We conclude that adequate counseling on ways of adapting and coping is expected to increase both health-related quality of life and physical activity.

Published: December 2023

Background: A history of falls is the most established predictor of future falls in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, predicting a first fall remains challenging. Objective: To assess whether experiencing difficulties putting on pants while standing is a viable predictor of future falling, and specifically a first fall, in persons with PD. We define this ‘Pants-sign’ as people who resort to putting on their pants only while seated. Methods: 264 persons with PD were included. Information on the Pants-sign, history of falls, disease severity (MDS-UPDRS part III), freezing of gait (N-FOGQ > 0), cognitive function (MoCA), self-reported disability (Schwab & England scale), health-related quality of life (SF-12), Timed-Up-and-Go, and one-legged stance were determined at baseline and after one-year follow-up. The association between the Pants-sign and future falling was examined by univariate logistic regression analysis. A multivariate step-wise logistic regression with forward selection was employed to identify the strongest associations in the entire cohort and a sub-cohort of people without falls in the year prior to baseline. Results: The Pants-sign was univariably associated with a future fall (OR = 2.406, 95% CI [1.313–4.409], p = 0.004]), but was not an independent predictor in the multivariate logistic regression; predictors were higher MDS-UPDRS part III scores (OR = 1.088, 95% CI [ 1.056–1.121 ], p < 0.001] and history of falls (OR = 5.696, 95% CI [2.650–12.243], p≤0.001]. For the sub-cohort of people without falls in the previous year ( n = 189), the Pants-sign was not associated with future falls. Conclusions: The Pants-sign is simple to assess and is associated with future falling in PD but is not an independent predictor.
