Published: September 2023

Los cultivos agrícolas y pasturas en monocultivo frecuentemente comprometen servicios ecosistémicos por la pérdida de suelos y biodiversidad. Como alternativa en la producción ganadera se han propuesto los sistemas silvopastoriles (SSP); sin embargo, hay pocos estudios que demuestren los beneficios de estos sobre la salud del suelo. Este estudio tuvo como propósito evaluar el efecto de diferentes usos de la tierra sobre la salud del suelo medida a través de indicadores químicos. Para tal fin, se usaron parcelas con al menos 19 años bajo los siguientes usos: (i) cultivo intensivo de maíz (Zea mays), (ii) pastura mixta de gramíneas (Megathyrsus maximus + Dichantium aristatum), (iii) SSP con pastos + arbustos (Cresentia cujete y Leucaena leucocephala), (iv) SSP multiestrato con los mismos pastos + leñosas de uso forrajero (Cassia grandis, Albizia saman y Guazuma ulmifolia) y (v) bosque secundario de restauración como referencia. Las evaluaciones se hicieron en épocas contrastantes (seca y lluviosa), en suelos del Valle medio del rio Sinú (Colombia), con gradiente de drenaje. En general, los suelos de los SSP presentaron los más altos indicadores químicos: MOS, N total, Mg, B, N-NO3 y CICE; la pastura de solo gramíneas presentó los mayores valores en micronutrientes: Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn y S, y NH4 y valores más bajos de pH, P, y NO3 y más altos de Al. El bosque secundario presentó valores intermedios para todos los indicadores, mientras que los suelos con maíz presentaron los indicadores químicos más pobres. Se concluye que los SSP mejoran los indicadores químicos de salud del suelo en comparación a la pastura de solo gramíneas y el monocultivo de maíz.
Statistical analysis of karst springs in Lower Austria

Abstract
Karst springs play a central role in Austria’s water supply. This paper aims to provide an overview of the karst springs of Lower Austria, analysing statistical correlations of spatial distribution, discharge, electrical conductivity (EC), and temperature. As part of a project with the provincial government of Lower Austria, older data from numerous studies have been combined with the self-generated data in a GIS database. This database contains data on 2056 karst springs. Most of the recorded springs are located in the Northern Calcareous Alps, although karst springs also occur in the Central Alpine Permomesozoic, the Waschberg zone and the Bohemian Massif, some of which are also of regional importance for drinking water supply. Chemical analyses show that limestone, dolomite and mixed springs are widespread in Lower Austria and occur with similar frequency. Gypsum springs, which are characterised by a significantly higher total mineral-isation, are also of regional importance. The statistical analysis shows that spring water temperatures correlate well with the mean annual air temperature at the mean catchment elevation. The temperature decrease with increasing elevation corresponds to the air temperature gradient in the Eastern Alps (0.47 °C/100 m). In addition, the springs show a negative correlation of the EC with the mean catchment elevation, which can be explained by a decrease in soil cover and thus reduced CO2 uptake of the water, as well as dilution by rainwater. This leads to less carbonate dissolution, which is also reflected in less HCO3
− contents. Corrected for the elevation effect, the investigated dolomite springs, have on average a 2.7% higher EC than limestone springs. A difference was also found between the Hauptdolomit and the Wettersteindolomit rock types, which are widespread in Lower Austria, with the latter displaying higher values on average by 2.2%. This indicates longer residence times of the spring water due to less karstification of the Wettersteindolomit.
Kinetics of Tannin Reduction in Soaked and Unsoaked Velvet Beans Treated by Microwave Treatment
Authors: Al-Rawashdeh Mustafa S. 
Published: September 2023

The effect of microwave treatment on the kinetics of tannin reduction in black and white colored velvet bean (soaked and unsoaked) was evaluated. The objective of this study was to determine the association level and the kinetics of tannin reduction in velvet beans after being treated with microwave treatment in order to find the appropriate time treatment useful for poultry health. Tannin content reduction rate was nicely fitted by linear regression analysis with association value (r) ranging from 0.96-0.98. Linear regression analysis suggests a zero-ordered kinetics which means that the decline rate of tannins after exposure to microwave treatment is independent of the initial tannin concentration. In both colored velvet bean (black and white), the tannin reduction rate of unsoaked seeds was lower than that of soaked seeds. According to literature findings regarding the positive role of tannins level in poultry, it can be concluded from this study that the exposure of velvet bean to microwave treatment for more than 12 minutes may eliminate the positive effect of tannin on poultry.
Evaluation of serum leptin levels in diabetic and hypertensive subjects resident in Port Harcourt
Authors: Waribo Helen A. 
Published: September 2023

Background: Diabetes and hypertension which are metabolic conditions are becoming more common and prevalent in the world. Prolonged rise of blood sugar levels, is a hallmark of diabetes, a metabolic condition caused by problems with insulin production, insulin resistance or both while hypertension is the persistent high blood pressure in the arteries. Leptin is a hormone that inhibits appetite, reduces fat storage in adipocytes and aids in the regulation of energy balance hence implicated in diabetes and insulin resistance. Thus, can metabolic state affects its level in the serum.
Methods: The study population is two hundred and forty (240) subjects that are residents of Port Harcourt aged between 30-70 years. Sixty subjects were used as the control, sixty subjects were diabetes, the other sixty subjects were hypertensive while the remaining sixty were subjects with both hypertension and diabetic mellitus. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to quantitatively measure leptin levels in the serum sample, glycated haemoglobin were determined quantitatively using sandwich immunodetection and blood pressure was measured using mercury sphygmomanometer.
Results: The data generated were statistically analysed using Graph Pad Prism version 9.0.2. The results showed no significant difference in leptin levels in diabetics, hypertensive and subjects having both diabetes and hypertension when compared with the control subjects having none of these metabolic disorders (p =0.4166).
Conclusions: Our results shows that leptin levels in the population were relatively within the reference ranges both for males (0.5-12ng/ml) and females (0.5-15ng/ml). It clearly shows that metabolic conditions (diabetes or hypertension) does not affect leptin levels in serum.

Background: Bile ducts are usually kept sterile by bacteriostatic and flushing effects of bile. Patients presenting with biliary obstruction especially due to benign etiology have either single or multiple bacterial organisms. Acute cholangitis carries significant morbidity with variable mortality rate. The serious presentation of such toxic patients signifies the requirement of appropriate antibiotic treatment. Choledocholithiasis followed by neoplasm and benign biliary strictures are the common predisposing factors for obstruction. Widespread use of antibiotics over years lead to change in sensitivity pattern of organisms which necessitates change in empiric antibiotic usage.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in department of medical gastroenterology. We studied 50 patients with biliary obstruction (clinical and demographic data were recorded). The diagnosis of cholangitis was made according to TG2018. While undergoing therapeutic ERCP, bile aspirate was collected by biliary cannulation and sent for microbiological analysis. The antibiotic susceptibility pattern and rest of the data were analyzed by appropriate statistical tests.
Results: Mean age of the study group was 49 years. Majority were female in study (60%). Overall, 74% had benign etiology, 32% had cholangitis. Bile cultures were positive in 64% patients 75% of them had benign etiology (gallstone being most common; 56%) and 25% had malignant etiology. Bacterobilia in cholangitis patients was statistically significant in comparison to patients without cholangitis (p-0.01). Organisms grown are mainly aerobic gram negative, most common being E. coli, Klebsiella and Pseudomonas species. Patients having bacterobilia had mortality of 6.25% during hospital stay.
Conclusions: In this study we found higher sensitivity to colistin (90.6%), tigecycline (81.25%), amikacin (75%) and least sensitivity was noted for ampicillin (6.25%) followed by cefixime (12.5%). Sensitivity to previously commonly used ciprofloxacin antibiotic was 31.25%. Study confirms the significance of obtaining routine bile sample during ERCP in obstructed biliary system to prevent dreaded complications of cholangitis.
Extensor indicis proprius to extensor pollicis longus tendon transfer with first dorsal interossei muscle flap cover for reconstruction of post traumatic thumb defect in an acute setting: a very rare case report

Published: September 2023

The thumb plays a vital role in the function of the hand and is indispensable part of gripping, pinching and other activities and therefore its reconstruction is a priority for every hand surgeon. Different flaps have been used in the soft tissue reconstruction of the thumb. Here we presented a 38 year male patient case of road traffic accident with trauma to the right upper limb having composite tissue defect involving the thumb with loss over the dorsum of the thumb with periosteal stripping and partial loss of the dorsal cortex of the metacarpal in which we have successfully performed thumb reconstruction in acute setting by doing extensor indicis proprius (EIP) to extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon transfer for the extensor tendon loss and soft tissue cover by using the ulnar head of first dorsal interossei muscle with overlying split thickness skin graft. EIP to EPL transfer is an efficient tendon transfer to restore the thumb extension in post-traumatic extensor loss of thumb without any functional donor site morbidity. First dorsal interossei muscle is a good and reliable reconstructive option for the small full thickness soft tissue defects over the first metacarpal first because of its axial blood supply. We recommend to divide the extensor indicis proprius tendon around half centimetre proximal to the extensor hood and suture this tendon remnant to the side by extensor digiti communis tendon while maintaining the finger extension and for the first dorsal interossei muscle flap preferably use the ulnar head of muscle for thumb reconstruction to avoid functional donor site morbidities.

El departamento del Quindío ocupa menos del 1 % del territorio continental de Colombia. Está ubicado en el corazón de los Andes centrales, uno de los puntos calientes de biodiversidad del planeta, y su territorio hace parte, además, del “Paisaje Cultural Cafetero”, declarado como patrimonio de la humanidad por la UNESCO. A pesar de ser considerado un departamento con gran diversidad de mamíferos, son pocos los esfuerzos compilatorios de la información sobre la mastofauna del Quindío. En este trabajo se analizan, i) la cobertura geográfica del muestreo de mamíferos en el territorio quindiano; ii) los patrones espaciales de diversidad alfa, beta y filogenética de este grupo, y iii) el estatus de conservación de las especies de mamíferos del departamento. Producto de nuestra revisión se presenta una lista de 120 especies de mamíferos distribuidos en 12 órdenes, 30 familias y 75 géneros, todas respaldadas por evidencia museológica. Estas cifras ubican al Quindío como el departamento con la mayor diversidad de mamíferos por unidad de área en Colombia, y una de las divisiones administrativas de primer orden (estados, departamentos, provincias) con mayor diversidad en este grupo taxonómico a nivel global.

Published: September 2023

Objectives: The study was conducted to find out the relationship between mental health and ways of coping of university students during the outbreak of COVID-19.
Methodology: The study design was cross-sectional and the data was analyzed using correlation method. Data for the study was collected via online Google Forms. The online questionnaire was based on two scales, the Mental Health Inventory in which the mental health characteristics were anxiety, depression, behavior control, positive affect, and the ways of coping (revised) scale.
Findings: The sample size of this study consisted of 400 university students of which 206were male and 194 were female. The outcomes of this study showed that during the outbreak of COVID-19, a significant relationship was found between mental health and ways of coping in university students. The relationship of overall mental health scores with Painful problem-solving, seeking social support, and Positive reappraisal was significant but no significant relationship was found with other subscales of ways of coping.
Applications of the study: From the student viewpoint, universities should be aware of the students' changing emotional responses from positive to negative during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given that the impact of COVID-19 would probably induce more negative emotional states, universities should offer more support for emotional management and coping. This should encourage students to talk about their concerns, worries, and anxiety toward COVID-19 and to help them de stigmatize the fear of COVID-19 on their studies and future. This support should not be a one-time-event, but ongoing. With positive emotions and coping, students are more capable to counterbalance the perceived negative impact of COVID-19 on their degree completion and job prospects by effectively using different resources to reduce resource loss.
Novelty/Originality of the study: It is necessary for university institutions to focus their efforts on quality attention to students, in order to establish fluid communication with them and to adapt to their better well-being with good way of coping and fulfill their academic and personal needs.

Published: September 2023

Electricity access is a challenge facing many countries in the world more so the developing ones. This challenge is more pronounced in sub-Saharan Africa, where about 597 million people (43%) lack access to electricity. To address the challenge many countries are investing in electricity supply infrastructure projects such as transmission and distribution lines and power plants. Implementation of such projects is however faced with various challenges resulting in failure to achieve the intended objectives. Scholars have proposed solutions to address these challenges but available literature indicates the issue of quality planning in projects has not been exhaustively addressed. The main objective of this study was to assess the influence of quality planning on project success among electricity supply infrastructure projects in Kenya. The study was anchored on the Deming cycle and the Iron Triangle theories. A descriptive study design was employed in this research. The study population was drawn from the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company staff, which implements electricity transmission projects in Kenya. A stratified sampling method coupled with Yamane’s formula was employed to identify the sample size of 80 among the staff. 63 responses from the surveyed staff were obtained and used for the analysis translating to a 78.75% response rate. The findings showed that the study accepted the alternative hypothesis and concluded that there is a significant and positive influence of quality planning on project success. This study concludes that quality planning is a critical factor that enhances project success in electricity infrastructure projects.
VIH/sida, Dévoilement du Statut Sérologique et Résilience au Traitement Antirétroviral chez les Adolescents d’Adzopé
Authors: Bilé Wadja Jean 
Published: September 2023

En Côte d’Ivoire, le vécu de l’annonce du statut sérologique des adolescents vivant avec le VIH acquis en période périnatale se décline en plusieurs types de trajectoires. Le présent article explore l’influence du dévoilement de l’infection à VIH chez les adolescents d’Adzopé sur la résilience au traitement antirétroviral. A partir d’une étude qualitative, du 1er septembre au 31 décembre 2022, le Centre Hospitalier Régional d’Adzopé dans le Sud-Est de la Côte d’Ivoire a servi d’espace social de la production d’entretiens autobiographiques et semi-directifs recueillis auprès de quarante (40) personnes réparties comme suit : vingt (20) adolescents vivant avec le VIH/sida, huit (8) acteurs médicaux, cinq (5) parents, cinq (5) tuteurs, un dépositaire de la tradition et une autorité administrative. De la mise en sens de ces entretiens, il apparaît une mobilisation de stratégies par les parents/tuteurs dans la dissimulation de l’annonce du diagnostic aux adolescents. Outre ce fait, les résonnances émotionnelles vont succéder à la divulgation de la maladie en termes d’enjeux émotifs (colère, tristesse, choc). Pour surmonter ces écueils, diverses catégories d’acteurs (parents, tuteurs et les professionnels de santé) vont constituer une bouée de sauvetage pour les adolescents grâce au dévoilement du statut sérologique. Cela va légitimer une résilience au traitement antirétroviral.

In Côte d'Ivoire, the experience of the announcement of the serological status of adolescents living with HIV acquired during the perinatal period is divided into several types of trajectories. This article explores the influence of disclosure of HIV infection among adolescents in Adzopé on resilience to antiretroviral treatment. Based on a qualitative study, from September 1 to December 31, 2022, the Adzopé Regional Hospital Center in the South-East of Côte d'Ivoire served as a social space for the production of autobiographical and semi-autobiographical interviews. guidelines collected from forty (40) people distributed as follows: twenty (20) adolescents living with HIV/AIDS, eight (8) medical actors, five (5) parents, five (5) guardians, a custodian of tradition, and an administrative authority. From the meaning of these interviews, it appears a mobilization of strategies by the parents/guardians in the dissimulation of the announcement of the diagnosis to the adolescents. In addition to this fact, emotional resonances will follow the disclosure of the illness in terms of emotional issues (anger, sadness, shock). To overcome these pitfalls, various categories of actors (parents, guardians, and health professionals) will constitute a lifeline for adolescents by disclosing their HIV status. This will legitimize resilience to antiretroviral treatment.
