IntroductionDomestic dogs and cats can be a source of human infection by a wide diversity of zoonotic pathogens including parasites. Genotyping and subtyping tools are useful in assessing the true public health relevance of canine and feline infections by these pathogens. This study investigated the occurrence, genetic diversity, and zoonotic potential of common diarrhea-causing enteric protist parasites in household dogs and cats in Egypt, a country where this information is particularly scarce.MethodsIn this prospective, cross-sectional study a total of 352 individual fecal samples were collected from dogs (n = 218) and cats (n = 134) in three Egyptian governorates (Dakahlia, Gharbeya, and Giza) during July–December 2021. Detection and identification of Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia duodenalis, Enterocytozoon bieneusi, and Blastocystis sp. were carried out by PCR and Sanger sequencing. Basic epidemiological variables (geographical origin, sex, age, and breed) were examined for association with occurrence of infection by enteric protists.Results and discussionThe overall prevalence rates of Cryptosporidium spp. and G. duodenalis were 1.8% (95% CI: 0.5–4.6) and 38.5% (95% CI: 32.0–45.3), respectively, in dogs, and 6.0% (95% CI: 2.6–11.4) and 32.1% (95% CI: 24.3–40.7), respectively, in cats. All canine and feline fecal samples analyzed tested negative for E. bieneusi and Blastocystis sp. Dogs from Giza governorate and cats from Dakahlia governorate were at higher risk of infection by Cryptosporidium spp. (p = 0.0006) and G. duodenalis (p = 0.00001), respectively. Sequence analyses identified host-adapted Cryptosporidium canis (n = 4, one of them belonging to novel subtype XXe2) and G. duodenalis assemblages C (n = 1) and D (n = 3) in dogs. In cats the zoonotic C. parvum (n = 5) was more prevalent than host-adapted C. felis (n = 1). Household dogs had a limited (but not negligible) role as source of human giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis, but the unexpected high frequency of zoonotic C. parvum in domestic cats might be a public health concern. This is the first molecular-based description of Cryptosporidium spp. infections in cats in the African continent to date. Molecular epidemiological data provided here can assist health authorities and policy makers in designing and implementing effective campaigns to minimize the transmission of enteric protists in Egypt.

Published: July 2023

Affecting millions of individuals yearly, malaria is one of the most dangerous and deadly tropical diseases. It is a major global public health problem, with an alarming spread of parasite transmitted by mosquito (Anophele). Various studies have emerged that construct a mathematical and statistical model for malaria incidence forecasting. In this study, we formulate a generalized linear model based on Poisson and negative binomial regression models for forecasting malaria incidence, taking into account climatic variables (such as the monthly rainfall, average temperature, relative humidity), other predictor variables (the insecticide-treated bed-nets (ITNs) distribution and Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT)) and the history of malaria incidence in Dakar, Fatick and Kedougou, three different endemic regions of Senegal. A forecasting algorithm is developed by taking the meteorological explanatory variable Xj at time t−𝓁j, where t is the observation time and 𝓁j is the lag in Xj that maximizes its correlation with the malaria incidence. We saturated the rainfall in order to reduce over-forecasting. The results of this study show that the Poisson regression model is more adequate than the negative binomial regression model to forecast accurately the malaria incidence taking into account some explanatory variables. The application of the saturation where the over-forecasting was observed noticeably increases the quality of the forecasts.

Four short sediment cores were collected to explore the impacts of bay scallop farming on the composition and accumulation of sedimentary organic matter (SOM). The results revealed that SOM was mainly composed of relatively easily biodegradable substances as evidenced by the high contribution rate of biopolymeric carbon (77.8–94.4%). The sediment accumulation rate in the scallop farming area (SFA) was 28.6% higher than that in the non-scallop farming area (NSFA). The total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) burial fluxes in the SFA were 33.1 and 36.6% higher than those in the NSFA, respectively. A rough estimate showed that the burial fluxes of TOC, TN, scallop-derived OC, and marine algal-derived OC in the ~150 km2 SFA could increase by 1.08, 0.11, 0.39, and 0.68 g m−2 yr−1, respectively, with annual scallop production increasing 104 t. This study highlights the significant effects of scallop farming on the biogeochemistry of SOM in coastal waters, which provides a direct reference for future research on the carbon cycle in shellfish culture areas.

Published: July 2023

The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the urgency of addressing flexibility in the workplace. Many employees are still undecided about whether to stay in their office premises or to work from home, as well as about the effect of their choice on income. In other words, would their flexibility in selecting their workplaces affect it? How would they react, if it is accompanied by a pay cut? Is working from home without any cuts the dream of employees? Our paper analyses the opinions of e-employees in three countries: Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Six hundred face-to-display employees participated in our research. The quantitative study was conducted with the aim of analysing their responses, examining who would like to benefit from flexibility accompanied with his/her reduced salary and what that would mean for the future. The data indicate that Austrian e-employees are much more open to salary cuts than those in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The results also show that a higher age correlates positively with employees’ readiness to accept pay cuts. Similarly, the smaller the cut, the higher the readiness to accept it. The gender comparison shows that Czech and Slovak male breadwinners agree statistically more frequently ready to accept a reduction of their wages than women of the same nationality do.

Published: July 2023

According to Articles 38D and 38G of the Republic of Indonesia’s 1945 Constitution, citizens have the right to a sense of safety from the state, including the right to be protected from crimes. In Indonesia, there is an annually increasing rate of crime, many of them being crimes against wealth. Unfortunately, victims seldom receive attention, including recovery from losses or restitution. This was normative legal research conducted on secondary data, including primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and other supporting legal materials. The data were collected through a literature review and were analyzed using the descriptive-qualitative method. Results showed that the restitution rights of crime victims are regulated in Indonesia's legal regulations (the 1945 Constitution, the Law on the Protection of Witnesses and Victims, the Law on Human Rights, the Law on Corruption, etc.). But these regulations are still incomplete and they are difficult to implement in legal practice. In Indonesia, the implementation of crime victims’ restitution rights has not been fulfilled. Many victims fail to obtain restitution from the perpetrators because they still lack knowledge of their restitution rights and the application procedures due to a lack of socialization from the law-enforcing apparatus and the government. Victims may file a civil case lawsuit to the District Court to fulfill their restitution rights. It can be done through a combined mechanism of a civil lawsuit in a criminal case or through a pure criminal court decision. In conclusion, Indonesian law has regulated victims’ restitution rights. Even so, the laws are still incomplete and they lack harmony. The fulfillment of victims’ restitution rights is not yet ideal and its procedures are too complicated.

The Use of Social Media for Internal Communication within South African Local Government
Authors: Grawe Mkhululi Nceba , Nkoala Sisanda , Makwambeni Blessing 
Published: July 2023

Contemporary organisations have embraced a wide variety of social media platforms. Social media provide companies, institutions and government departments with the quickest way to communicate with employees. The platforms allow for instantaneous, two-way and cost-effective communication. This paper uses Grunig’s two-way symmetrical as a lens to understand the challenges associated with the use of social media for internal communication within local government in South Africa. Quantitative data was collected through questionnaires, while qualitative data was gathered using interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the findings. Four categories of challenges emerged from the data analysed: lack of social media policies, compliance and adherence with the policy, and lack of organisational support. The absence of social media policy proved to be a significant factor that leads to the ineffective use of social media for internal communication. Municipalities with social media policies had few employees who knew about the policy, whereas the remainder failed to adhere to the policy. Lack of organisational support emerged as a challenge that hampers the use of social media for internal communication in local government. This paper contends that while the use of social media has increased significantly in municipalities, significant challenges associated with the management of social media need to be addressed if the Government Communication Policy is to be implemented effectively.

Published: July 2023

This study aimed to identify the advantages and disadvantages of using artificial intelligence in education from the perspective of the students of Al Ain University. The researcher used the descriptive approach due to its compatibility to the study objectives. The study sample consisted of (184) students from Al Ain University in Al Ain City, who were selected using the random stratified sampling method. The questionnaire was developed and distributed by using Google Drive software. The results showed that most students think that artificial intelligence can improve learning personal experiences, process a considerable amount of data and improve task management. However, there have been different opinions about the ability of artificial intelligence to control students' behavior and direct learning, improve the efficiency of educational system, provide notes and reviews, reduce dependency on teachers, and enhance social interaction. Furthermore, several students expressed their concerns about the possible missing of traditional educational jobs, the costs of implementing artificial intelligence systems, the errors of programming and error-processing, and missing the human relationships in the classroom.

Published: July 2023

Tony Buzan first developed mind mapping, which has since become a popular learning technique. It solves various educational tasks by combining information from various sources and displaying it as keywords in a bright, colorful manner. Mind maps have been said to be a good way to study when applied to written material. This research aimed to guide and integrate mind mapping into descriptive writing with primary students. Ninety-four fifth-grade students at a primary school were chosen to participate in the study. Two groups of students from a primary school were recruited for the experiment. The proposed method was to be taught in one class, while the traditional method was to be taught in the other. The results showed that the students in the experimental group who learned using the mind map technique did better in writing than in the control group. Mind mapping has numerous educational applications and can assist students in their writing process. Teachers can use mind mapping tools to expand their knowledge and lay the groundwork for their students' learning. Teachers should be encouraged to take training courses on mind mapping to learn and practice the skills they need to use mind mapping in their classrooms.
