Seroprevalence of Echinococcus IgG antibodies in a tertiary care center: a 5-year study and literature review
Authors: Sinha Soni , Raj Nikhil , Yadav Harshita , Sen Manodeep , Agarwal Jyotsna 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background:
Cystic echinococcosis (CE), also known as hydatid disease, is a global zoonotic infection resulting from the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus tapeworms. This condition manifests as single or multiple cystic growths in various bodily organs such as the liver, lungs, kidneys, etc.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on all sample records within the microbiology laboratory register or microbiology database of the parasitology section, spanning from January 2017 to December 2021. The objective was to ascertain the seroprevalence of echinococcosis. Through enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay, 200 samples were examined to detect the presence of anti-hydatid immunoglobulin G (IgG).

Results:
Among the individuals tested for CE IgG antibodies, a greater seroprevalence was evident in female patients (42.7%) compared to males (32.5%). In 2017, the observed seroprevalence stood at 36%; in 2021, it escalated to 55.5%. It signifies a noteworthy surge of 20% in seropositivity over the last 5 years.

Conclusion:
The study’s findings highlight a substantial correlation between age, gender, and the prevalence of CE in northern India. Furthermore, the research revealed a progressive incline in seropositivity rates among patients from North India.
Human Resources for Health in Haryana, India: What can be Done Better?
Authors: Sharma Atul , Prinja Shankar , Rao Krishna Dipankar , Aggarwal Arun Kumar 
Published: October 2023

Introduction:
Health systems in developing countries suffers from both input and productivity issues. We examined the status of three domains of human resources for health, i.e., availability and distribution, capacity and productivity, and motivation and job-satisfaction, of the health-care workforce employed in the public health system of Haryana, a North Indian state.

Methodology:
The primary data were collected from 377 public health facilities and 1749 healthcare providers across 21 districts. The secondary data were obtained from government reports in the public domain. Bivariate and multivariate statistical techniques were used for evaluating district performances, making inter-district comparisons and identifying determinants of motivation and job-satisfaction of the clinical cadres.

Results:
We found 3.6 core health-care workers (doctors, staff nurses, and auxiliary nurses-midwives) employed in the public health-care system per 10,000 population, ranging from 1.35 in Faridabad district to 6.57 in Panchkula district. Around 78% of the sanctioned positions were occupied. A number of inpatient hospitalizations per doctor/nurses per month were 17 at the community health center level and 29 at the district hospital level; however, significant differences were observed among districts. Motivation levels of community health workers (85%) were higher than clinical workforce (78%), while health system administrators had lowest motivation and job satisfaction levels. Posting at primary healthcare facility, contractual employment, and co-habitation with family at the place of posting were found to be the significant motivating factors.

Conclusions:
A revamp of governance strategies is required to improve health-care worker availability and equitable distribution in the public health system to address the observed geographic variations. Efforts are also needed to improve the motivation levels of health system administrators, especially in poorly performing districts and reduce the wide gap with better-off districts.

ABSTRACT.
Macacine alphaherpesvirus 1, also known as herpes B virus (BV), is an alphaherpesvirus endemic to several macaque species, capable of causing zoonotic infections in humans, with high mortality rates. Evidence of reactivation in humans has rarely been reported. Here we depict a case of BV reactivation after 54 years, leading to severe meningoencephalitis. This case supports the use of antiviral prophylaxis in patients surviving a confirmed BV central nervous system infection. We sequenced DNA from BV obtained from the patient’s cerebrospinal fluid. Phylogenetic analysis showed significant divergence in the clustering of this particular BV strain compared with other known BVs. Therefore, additional efforts are needed to obtain a broader sequence landscape from BVs circulating in monkeys.
Organizational Postmodernism; Sebuah Telaah Kritik
Authors: Maniagasi Y Gabriel 
Published: October 2023

Tulisan ini merupakan ulasan teoritik yang menelaah pemikiran postmodernism dalam perspektif teori organisasi secara khusus dalam pandangan Philips Hancock dan Melissa Tyler (2001). Merujuk dari pemikiran tersebut, kemudian dikolaborasi dengan beberapa literatur guna mendiskusikan pandangan-pandangan pemikir lainnya tentang perkembangan keilmuan yang berkembang mengikuti perkembangan zaman. Data dan informasi dikumpulkan melalui studi pustaka dengan teknik menyimak, membaca dan mencatat obyek yang dipelajari melalui buku-buku, literatur ataupun bahan pustaka yang relevan, sehingga data (dalam bentuk kata-kata) kemudian dianalisis sesuai dengan kebutuhan penulisan, yakni mengungkapkan kebenaran ilmiah. Hasil kajian teoritik memberi gambaran bahwa postmodernisme mengawali kemunculannnya sebagai reaksi atas ketidakpuasan terhadap modernisme yang lebih mempercayai kekuatan ilmu pengetahuan (management scientific) yang mengarah pada perubahan. Kendati demikian, postmodernisme bukan kritik pada satu bidang disiplin ilmu, namun pada semua bidang yang memiliki keterkaitan dengan budaya. Ciri pemikiran postmodernisme adalah pluralitas, artinya penghargaan kepada keberagaman berpikir. Setiap orang boleh berbicara dengan bebas sesuai dengan pemikirannya. Postmodernisme menolak arogansi dari setiap teori.

Abstract. Condensable vapors, including highly oxygenated organic molecules
(HOMs), govern secondary organic aerosol formation and thereby impact the
quantity, composition, and properties (e.g., toxicity) of aerosol particles.
These vapors are mainly formed in the atmosphere through the oxidation of
volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Urban environments contain a variety of
VOCs from both anthropogenic and biogenic sources, as well as other species,
for instance nitrogen oxides (NOx), that can greatly influence the
formation pathways of condensable vapors like HOMs. During the last decade,
our understanding of HOM composition and formation has increased
dramatically, with most experiments performed in forests or in heavily
polluted urban areas. However, studies on the main sources for condensable
vapors and secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) in biogenically influenced urban
areas, such as suburbs or small cities, have been limited. Here, we studied
the HOM composition, measured with two nitrate-based chemical ionization
mass spectrometers and analyzed using positive matrix factorization (PMF),
during late spring at two locations in Helsinki, Finland. Comparing the
measured concentrations at a street canyon site and a nearby urban
background station, we found a strong influence of NOx on the HOM
formation at both stations, in agreement with previous studies conducted in
urban areas. Even though both stations are dominated by anthropogenic VOCs,
most of the identified condensable vapors originated from biogenic
precursors. This implies that in Helsinki anthropogenic activities mainly
influence HOM formation by the effect of NOx on the biogenic VOC
oxidation. At the urban background station, we found condensable vapors
formed from two biogenic VOC groups (monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes), while
at the street canyon, the only identified biogenic HOM precursor was
monoterpenes. At the street canyon, we also observed oxidation products of
aliphatic VOCs, which were not observed at the urban background station. The
only factors that clearly correlate (temporally and composition-wise)
between the two stations contained monoterpene-derived dimers. This suggests
that HOM composition and formation mechanisms are strongly dependent on
localized emissions and the oxidative environment in these biogenically
influenced urban areas, and they can also change considerably within
distances of 1 km within the urban environment. This further
suggests that studies should be careful when extrapolating single-point
measurements in an urban setting to be representative of district or city
scales.
Optical and radar Earth observation data for upscaling methane emissions linked to permafrost degradation in sub-Arctic peatlands in northern Sweden

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Permafrost thaw in Arctic regions is increasing methane (CH4)
emissions into the atmosphere, but quantification of such emissions is
difficult given the large and remote areas impacted. Hence, Earth
observation (EO) data are critical for assessing permafrost thaw,
associated ecosystem change and increased CH4 emissions. Often
extrapolation from field measurements using EO is the approach employed.
However, there are key challenges to consider. Landscape CH4 emissions
result from a complex local-scale mixture of micro-topographies and
vegetation types that support widely differing CH4 emissions, and it is
difficult to detect the initial stages of permafrost degradation before
vegetation transitions have occurred. This study considers the use of a
combination of ultra-high-resolution unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) data
and Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data to extrapolate field measurements of
CH4 emissions from a set of vegetation types which capture the local
variation in vegetation on degrading palsa wetlands. We show that the
ultra-high-resolution UAV data can map spatial variation in vegetation
relevant to variation in CH4 emissions and extrapolate these across the
wider landscape. We further show how this can be integrated with Sentinel-1
and Sentinel-2 data. By way of a soft classification and simple correction
of misclassification bias of a hard classification, the output vegetation
mapping and subsequent extrapolation of CH4 emissions closely matched
the results generated using the UAV data. Interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (InSAR) assessment of subsidence together
with the vegetation classification suggested that high subsidence rates of
palsa wetland can be used to quantify areas at risk of increased CH4
emissions. The transition of a 50 ha area currently experiencing subsidence
to fen vegetation is estimated to increase emissions from 116 kg CH4 per season to emissions as high as 6500 to 13 000 kg CH4 per season. The key outcome from this study is that a combination of high-
and low-resolution EO data of different types provides the ability to
estimate CH4 emissions from large geographies covered by a fine mixture
of vegetation types which are vulnerable to transitioning to CH4 emitters in
the near future. This points to an opportunity to measure and monitor
CH4 emissions from the Arctic over space and time with confidence.
Cerámicas mestizas en miniatura. Continuidades y transformaciones en el patrimonio material e inmaterial andino entre fines del s. XIX y comienzos del s. XX
Authors: López Mariel A. 
Published: October 2023

Este trabajo presenta el análisis de un conjunto de piezas cerámicas en miniatura que permanecía inédito. Ellas fueron adquiridas por Debenedetti a artesanos de Tupiza, Bolivia, durante sus trabajos de campo a comienzos del s. XX.
En primer lugar se revisaron diversos conceptos vinculados a las miniaturas en el mundo andino así como su catalogación como mestizas, clasificación con que se asentaron en los libros del Museo Etnográfico de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires en 1918. Esto último es importante en términos de su contexto de producción dentro de los procesos sociales desencadenados como consecuencia de la consolidación de los Estados Nación en la región del sur de Bolivia y el Noroeste Argentino, entre fines del s. XIX y comienzos del s. XX.
A partir de ello y de la caracterización del conjunto de piezas, se plantean reflexiones que abonan primeramente a una hipótesis, previamente manejada por distintos investigadores, que permite vincular a las miniaturas, patrimonio material andino, con un patrimonio inmaterial que engloba, alternativa o conjuntamente, a las ideas de bienestar, fecundidad y/o abundancia. Asimismo, se sostiene que a lo largo de la historia andina esto fue posible con continuidades y discontinuidades relacionadas con algunas modificaciones, en este caso formales y estilísticas.

O "eu devo" moral, o necessário "eu quero" e o "eu conheço" prático na Fundamentação 3
Authors: Klaudat André 
Published: October 2023

Na 3ª Seção da Fundamentação, Kant procura estabelecer o "princípio supremo da moralidade" oferecendo o rationale para o que sua "determinação correta", alcançada na 2ª Seção através de uma investigação metafísica, apresentou como resultado maior: que uma vontade livre e uma vontade sob leis morais é uma e a mesma coisa (a tese da Einerleiheit). Ao esclarecer o que isso requer quanto ao tipo de atividade de uma razão prática, que o "eu devo" moral para os seres humanos é o necessário "eu quero" das suas vontades, que pode ser tal na medida em que é a atividade puramente racional da vontace, eu procuro explicar a "justificação" da moralidade que Kant oferece nessa Seção através a identificação do que está à base do necessário "eu quero": ele encontra sua justificação "objetiva" ao ser a constituição do "eu conheço" prático. Meu argumento é desenvolvido através da atenção aos detalhes da intrincada dialética de Kant na Seção.
About choosing places of stay for the Japanese prisoners of war in Russia during the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905)
Authors: Serebryakova S. G. , Osmanov E. M. 
Published: October 2023

The article concerns the problem of prisoners of war during the Russo-Japanese war. The problem appears in the focus of modern researchers quite rarely: they usually write about political, military, and economic aspects of the war. The article describes the process of choosing the places of stay for the captured Japanese soldiers and officers in 1904–1905.By the beginning of the war, Russia assumed a number of obligations, since, during the Conference in Hague in 1899, it signed the Convention with respect to the Laws and Customs of War on Land, prescribing the treatment of prisoners based on humanistic ideals.The sources used during writing the work represent the latest research materials and the archival documents. These documents are stored in the Russian State Military Historical Archive (RGVIA) in Moscow.While determining the places for the Japanese stay, the Military department faced a severe problem, since it was necessary to take into account different factors: whether it would be possible to ensure guarding the prisoners of war, whether there was a suitable building for their accommodation, whether the Japanese soldiers and officers would have opportunities to commit sabotage. The latest issue was vividly discussed in the official documents of the period: there were concerns that the Japanese would destroy railways, as they did in Manchuria.The idea that the place for the Japanese prisoners should be in the Far East was rejected almost immediately due to its proximity to the theater of operations. Siberia also did not fit, since a railway passed through it – the most important transport artery during the war, so it was decided to place the Japanese in European Russia. The city of Penza was chosen as a collection point, from where prisoners of war were distributed to the cities of the Kazan, Moscow, Kiev, and Saint Petersburg military districts.However, in the autumn of 1904, Emperor Nicholas II issued a decree that the Japanese should not be stationed near the passage of the Russian troops. After that it was decided to accommodate all Japanese prisoners of war in one place: in the village of Medved, Novgorod province. The barracks located there were perfect for housing a small number of Japanese prisoners, where they stayed until the end of the war.

Maatschappelijk relevante, inclusieve bestuurskunde

Socially relevant, inclusive public administration: Intersectional feminism in research and policy
Public policy should aim to achieve social equality for everyone, but current public policy is specifically aimed at a white heterosexual male norm group. Public administration requires a more intersectional feminist perspective in order to make public policy more inclusive and increase social equality. An intersectional feminist perspective recognizes that people’s lived experiences are affected by combinations of their identity characteristics, rather than just gender, race or ethnicity. Sexuality, physical and mental health, class and age are also relevant identity characteristics. Specific combinations of these characteristics have more disadvantages than others. Research in public administration as well as public policy can become more inclusive by applying an intersectional feminist perspective. This means that editors, reviewers, policymakers and professionals need to be continuously aware of the inequalities that exist just because of people’s identity characteristics, and how this affects their decision making, and – in turn – social inequality.
Wat kan een ‘maatschappelijke bestuurskunde’ betekenen: een korte reflectie

Outlining a societal public administration: A brief reflection
Governments face major societal challenges that cannot be tackled easily. In this article, Professor Van de Donk reflects on the proposition that dealing with issues requires connective public administration experts, and a societal public administration. For many years (two decades), Van de Donk has held a chair with the same title. He argues that although societal administrative sciences are desirable and can be helpful, the phenomenon is not limited to mere societal issues. Societal public administration can best be seen as a mixed field of public, private, hybrid and societal organizations, which includes several roles and responsibilities, with diverging worldviews and policy views. At the same time, that is where connective experts can be most meaningful; they can uncover, interpret and connect divergent images.

Becoming equipped, well-aware and focused public administration scholars
Societal public administration requires connective public administration experts with certain skillsets. In this article, Professor Prins, chair of the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy, uses her many years of experience as a scholar and practitioner to reflect on competencies that will be valuable. She mentions three: being equipped, being aware and having focus. She explains why and how public administrators can move from experts on the side to insiders with authority, how they can become more normative while retaining stature and how they can be beneficial as a connective force.
