Abstract

Infectious diseases continue to remain life-threatening and a significant public health problem globally. Patients with HIV frequently have concomitant HBV, HCV, and malaria infections; thus, this study was undertaken to describe the prevalence of HBV, HCV, and Malaria triple infection with HIV among patients presenting at the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. In this study, 104 HIV-positive patients were recruited and evaluated for the presence of HBsAg, HCV and Plasmodium falciparum with HBsAg rapid strips, anti-HCV antibodies ELISA kit (Dia. Pro), and SD Bioline RDT, following the respective manufacturer's instructions. The triple infection rate was 1.0% for HIV/HBV/HCV/Plasmodium falciparum. Other co-infections were 1.9% for HIV/HCV/Plasmodium falciparum, 2.9% for HIV/HBV/Plasmodium falciparum and 1.9% for HIV/HBV/HCV, respectively. A higher HIV/HBV/HCV/Plasmodium falciparum triple infection occurred in the age group 21–40 years (2.0%), females (1.3%), being single (2.3%), tertiary education holders (2.4%), students (4.3%), CD4 counts > 500 cells/µl (4.0%) and viral load (VL) < 20 copies/ml (2.0%). Higher HIV/HBV/HCV triple infections occurred in the age group ≥ 41 years (2.2%), males (3.5%), being single (2.3%), tertiary education holders (4.8%) and students (4.3%), having CD4 count 350–499 Cells/µl (7.1%), viral load 20–999 copies/ml (2.1%) and being on TLD ART (1.9%). Higher HIV/HBV/MPF triple infections occurred in the age group 21–40 years (3.9%), males (3.5%), being married (3.6%), tertiary education holders (4.8%) and students (8.7%), having CD4 count ≥ 500 cells/µl (7.7%), viral load < 20 copies/ml (3.8%) and being on TLD ART (2.9%). Higher HIV/HCV/MPF triple infections occurred in the age group 21–40 years (3.9%), females (2.7%), being single (4.7%), tertiary education holders (4.8%) and students (8.7%), having CD4 count ≥ 500 cells/µl (4.0%), viral load < 20 copies/ml (2.0%) and being on TLD ART (1.9%). None of the sociodemographic and clinical variables was significantly associated (p > 0.05) with triple infections. The present study has further confirmed the low occurrence (1.0%) of HIV/HBV/Plasmodium falciparum among HIV-infected individuals in Yenagoa, Nigeria. Ages 21–40 years, females, being single, tertiary education holders and students were more prone to triple infections. The concurrency of HIV/HCV/HBV and Malaria exists in Yenagoa, Nigeria. Therefore, it is recommended to perform routine screening of HIV-infected patients for simultaneous infection with HBV, HCV and Malaria.

Abstract
Lymphatic filariasis is a mosquito borne disease which leads to abnormal painful enlarged body parts, severe disability and social stigma. Early diagnosis and interventions are paramount towards achieving the elimination goal. We screened Wuchereria bancrofti in Matayos constituency in Busia County. Blood samples were collected from 23 clinical units selected purposively based on clinical case reports. Finger prick and/or venous blood sampling and mosquito collections was carried out. Antigenaemia and filarial DNA prevalence were determined. infection rates on mosquito pools were estimated. SPSS version 27 was used for descriptive statistics analysis. A total of 262 participants were recruited, 73.3% of the participants were asymptomatic, 14.1% had swollen legs, 5.3% had painful legs and 3.8% with scrotal swellings. Antigenemia prevalence was 35.9% and DNA prevalence was at 8.0%. A total of 1305 mosquitoes were collected belonging to different species. Two pools out of 78 were positive for filarial DNA with a minimum infection rate of 0.15%. Antigenaemia and infected mosquitoes indicate active transmission. The clinical signs are evidence that filarial infections have been in circulation for over 10 years. Further screening, Mass Drug Administration (MDA), Morbidity management and enhanced mosquito controls are highly recommended.

Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of long-term dynamics and current trends in the hydrochemistry of the Pavlovsky Reservoir by 10 chemical indicators at seven water intake points. The choice of 10 chemical elements was justified in previous studies mentioned in the paper. This approach allows using the observation data of the Bashkir FSBI (Federal State Budgetary Institution Bashkir Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring Department), previous studies conducted in 1986–88 and in 2000 and the results of the present research (2018–2019) making it possible to track the dynamics of changes in the hydrochemical composition of water over 30 years (from 1986 to 2018). It was revealed that throughout the reservoir, from its beginning to the upper reaches, the content of Sr2+, Mn2+ and petroleum products in the water decreases; Zn2+, Hg2+, phenols and organic substances increase; Fe total (Fe2+ + Fe3+), P total are evenly distributed (according to PO43-), Cu2+. The study of the features of the long-term dynamics of the hydrochemical indicators of the Pavlovsky Reservoir allows for determining trends in the state of the ecosystem of the water body and proposes measures to preserve the operational properties of the reservoir.

Abstract:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has received worldwide scientific attention because of its
rapidly increasing prevalence, and it has emerged as a serious public health problem in end-stage liver disease.
Many factors are involved in the multifactorial development and progression of liver disease by influencing
multiple signaling and metabolic pathways. Currently, many studies have demonstrated the critical role of microRNA-
21 (miR-21) in NAFLD pathogenesis. In addition, many studies have found that miR-21 is highly expressed
in inflammatory bowel disease, which is associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction and altered gut
microbiota. In this paper, we focus on the regulatory role of miR-21 in the progression of NAFLD and its effect
on the gut microbiota, summarize the involvement of miR-21 through a variety of signaling pathways and
metabolic pathways, as well as discuss some predicted miR-21 target genes and miR-21 pathways for future experimental
identification.
Pathological Implications of Mucin Signaling in Metastasis

Published: March 2023

Abstract:
The dynamic mucosal layer provides a selective protective barrier for the epithelial cells
lining the body cavities. Diverse human malignancies exploit their intrinsic role to protect and repair
epithelia for promoting growth and survival. Aberrant expression of mucin has been known to be associated
with poor prognosis of many cancers. However, the emergence of new paradigms in the
study of metastasis recognizes the involvement of MUC1, MUC4, MUC5AC, MUC5B, and MUC16
during metastasis initiation and progression. Hence mucins can be used as an attractive target in future
diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. In this review, we discuss in detail about mucin family and
its domains and the role of different mucins in regulating cancer progression and metastasis. In addition,
we briefly discuss insights into mucins as a therapeutic agent.
Effectiveness of blended learning implementation for algorithm and programming course
Authors: Yuricha Yuricha , Phan Irwan Kurnia 
Published: March 2023

Algorithm and programming is a prerequisite course at the beginning of the semester, which not only requires an understanding of the basic concepts but also how these concepts can be implemented using a programming language. However, 72% of students have never studied programming at all. This is a challenge for teachers to be able to achieve learning objectives. This study aims to describe the learning design using the Blended Learning model so that its effectiveness can be measured in increasing student understanding in algorithms and programming courses. This research is Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a one-group pre-test post-test design for seven cycles implementing Blended Learning. Through the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, it was found that there is an average of 92% increase in student understanding from the pre-test to the post-test. Therefore, the application of Blended Learning needs to be done and provides mature readiness for students during face-to-face meetings and teachers can evaluate learning outcomes more quickly and determine the direction of further learning actions.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
This article provides information to help US-based practitioners develop differential diagnoses for, and recognize foreign animal diseases associated with, dermatologic lesions in small ruminants. Sheep and goat pox are currently considered foreign animal diseases (in the United States) and may cause lesions similar to other endemic diseases of small ruminants including orf, ulcerative dermatosis, bluetongue, and dermatophilosis. Any cases involving unusual dermatologic lesions associated with high morbidity and/or mortality warrant reporting to governmental authorities including USDA APHIS or state regulatory veterinarians for herd or flock investigations. Vigilance on the part of livestock veterinarians and small ruminant producers is of paramount importance in preventing the entry and spread of economically devastating foreign animal diseases.
Musical Heritage, Alterity, and Transnational Migration: Wanda Landowska’s Musical Lives

ABSTRACT

Musical Heritage, Alterity, and Transnational Migration: Wanda Landowska’s Musical Lives

In 1925 Wanda Landowska bought property in the genteel town of Saint-Leu-la-Forêt, northwest of Paris, and built, between 1926 and 1927, “a temple to music” in her garden. Famous across the musical world as a performer, composer, teacher, consultant and scholar, Landowska was ready to find a home for her gynocentric household after decades of cross-border movement. She had lived in Warsaw, Paris and Berlin, and was traveling extensively through Europe, the Middle East, Argentine and the United States. Throughout all her years of mobility, however, Landowska carried with her a constant sense of musical heritage to be preserved, cherished, and revived through performance and creation, through study and through joyful conviviality. She assembled a distinguished library and instrument collection that included such prized items as Chopin’s upright piano that he had used in Mallorca in 1838. Yet what Landowska had envisaged as her “ forever home” was overrun by Nazi plunderers in 1940 who stole her belongings as Landowska moved, once more, to save her life—this time across the Atlantic, to New York where she arrived on the day after Pearl Harbor. Here, too, her deep investment in a transnational musical heritage became a lodestone that guided her through exile. I address the complex issue of musical heritage in the musical lives of Wanda Landowska as it relates to matters of identity, gender, race, displacement, and creativity. By engaging caringly with the core values of a displaced woman-identified, queer musician of Jewish Polish descent, I propose to rethink how musical heritage might be thought from Landowska’s unique and vulnerable positionality.
Social-Engaged Art in Indonesia: Many in One, Nurturing Diversity & Inclusion
Authors: Yuliana Ika , Lämmli Dominique 
Published: March 2023

This research describes three socially engaged art practices of three collectives, Gubuak Kopi (Solok, West Sumatera), Festival Film Bahari (Cirebon, West Java) and Forum Sudut Pandang (Palu, Central Sulawesi), which were located in rural-urban area in Indonesia. The practices of these collectives that are established after 2010 were then read along the concept of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. This research method is guided by the question: How did “many, but one” emerge in the practice of social arts and who benefits from it? The narratives were built by centralizing the perspectives of art practitioners on their motivations and aims, instead of analyzing certain case studies. The method of this paper is interview and desk review. Based on the research observations, the researchers try to provide a perspective on how cultural promotion programs have an impact on community movements outside the big cities. Seni Berpenampilan Sosial di Indonesia: Ragam dalam Satu, Memelihara Kebhinekaan & Inklusi. Penelitian ini mendeskripsikan tiga praktik seni yang terlibat secara sosial dari tiga kolektif yakni Gubuak Kopi (Solok, Sumatera Barat), Festival Film Bahari (Cirebon, Jawa Barat) and Forum Sudut Pandang (Palu, Sulawesi Tengah) yang berada di daerah rural-urban di Indonesia. Tiga praktik dari kolektif yang muncul setelah 2010 ini kemudian dibaca dalam kaitannya dengan konsep Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. Penelitian ini dipandu dengan pertanyaan: bagaimana “banyak namun satu” muncul dalam praktik seni yang terlibat secara sosial di Indonesia, dan siapa yang diuntungkan oleh praktik ini? Narasi dibangun dengan memusatkan perhatian pada perspektif praktisi seni atas motivasi dan tujuan berkaryanya, alih-alih menganalisis studi kasus tertentu. Metode penelitian yang diterapkan adalah wawancara dan studi pustaka. Berdasarkan hasil observasi, peneliti menawarkan pandangan akan bagaimana program pemajuan kebudayaan memberikan pengaruh pada pergerakan komunitas di luar kota-kota besar.

Published: March 2023

Nanopartikel ZnO telah berhasil disintesis dengan menggunakan metode hidrotermal dengan kontrol konsentrasi HMTA. HMTA divariasikan dengan perbandingan konsentrasi 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 dan 1:5. Sampel dikarakterisasi dengan Scanning Microscope Electron (SEM) dan X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa nanopartikel yang terbentuk berbentuk nanorod dan memiliki kristalinitas yang tinggi dengan fasa hexagonal wurtzite. Penambahan konsentrasi memperbesar diameter kristal dengan diameter rata-rata terbesar 53,9Â Â± 3,7 nm. Besar densitas dislokasi juga berkurang seiring pertambahan konsentrasi HMTA. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa konsentrasi HMTA memberikan peran penting untuk mengontrol kristalinitas dan bentuk nanopartikel.Kata kunci: nanorod, ZnO, hidrotermal, HMTA, kristalinitas.

MIEUX RÉUSSIR À L’ÉCOLE GRÂCE À L’AUTORÉGULATION SOCIO- ÉMOTIONNELLE
Authors: Pasciuti Federica 
Published: March 2023

Grâce aux neurosciences de l’éducation nous pouvons, en tant qu’enseignants, offrir aux élèves un parcours de connaissance qui leur permet de mieux comprendre leur fonctionnement et apprendre plus efficacement. C’est pour cette raison que sensibiliser les élèves au fonctionnement du cerveau et aux mécanismes à la base du processus d’apprentissage est un prérequis indispensable au bon travail d’un apprenant. Au travers de ce projet, mené avec une classe d’élèves âgés de 12 à 14 ans, je veux proposer des moments de travail qui puissent les aider à mettre du sens sur les apprentissages et à mieux comprendre les demandes de l’école. En parallèle, pour certains d’entre eux, il est également important de proposer un travail qui permet d’améliorer leur comportement en augmentant leurs chances de réussite à l’école. En fait, le comportement d’un élève dépend des capacités de régulation cognitive et émotionnelle, mais il est aussi en mesure de les influencer. Travailler de manière plus spécifique sur des aspects comme l’autorégulation émotionnelle et le développement des fonctions exécutives, au travers des activités et des situations qui se présentent à l’école, peut avoir un effet positif sur le comportement des élèves en classe et leur attitude face aux apprentissages scolaires. Un tel parcours de connaissance et d’apprentissage pourrait ainsi avoir un impact sur leur scolarité. Le projet étant en cours, il n’est pas encore possible de tirer des conclusions. Cependant, on peut affirmer avec certitude que l’intérêt ainsi que la motivation des différents acteurs sont présents et les élèves sont curieux et intéressés à mieux comprendre comment fonctionne leur cerveau ainsi qu’à travailler pour augmenter leurs chances de réussite à l’école.
J'AI UN CERVEAU DONC JE SUIS, JE DEVIENS ... ET J'APPRENDS!

Published: March 2023

Cette perspective présente des activités prévues dans le cadre de la classe proposées par une logopédiste, en collaboration avec les enseignants autour d’un projet transdisciplinaire prometteur et innovant. L’objectif primaire est d’amener les enfants à s’intéresser au cerveau et à son fonctionnement, et ainsi leur faire saisir l’importance de la gestion de leurs émotions pour bien progresser. Des effets positifs ont été constatés au fil des séances. J’ai constaté la reprise spontanée des activités d’ancrage dans le corps « orteils spaghetti » ou de détente par les enfants en situation logopédique ou dans le cadre scolaire. Le questionnaire proposé à tous les enfants a permis de constater leur intérêt, de comprendre ce dont ils se souviennent et de cibler les aspects du fonctionnement cérébral qui les interroge le plus, comme la mémoire et le circuit des émotions. J’ai constaté également que les supports concrets et personnalisables comme la roue des émotions ou le cerveau dépliable sont des objets qui soutiennent les transferts et rappellent les activités en situation. Les enfants s’y réfèrent volontiers et les investissent fortement dans la mesure où ils sont personnalisables et qu’ils peuvent les emporter à l’école et / ou à la maison. L’objectif principal de mon projet est de faire comprendre à des enfants en début de scolarité le fonctionnement de leur cerveau et de leur proposer des outils pour apprendre à reconnaître puis gérer leurs émotions afin d’optimiser leurs compétences.
AMELIORER LA CONNAISSANCE DE SOI ET LA GESTION DE SES EMOTIONS POUR DES ENFANTS DE 7 A 15 ANS PRESENTANT DES DIFFICULTES D’APPRENTISSAGE ET PLACES EN INTERNAT
Authors: Vessaz Lorraine 
Published: March 2023

Par les activités décrites dans ce travail, telles que les ateliers MIO©, la méditation, ou un travail sur les sensations/émotions, j’espère que les enfants impliqués apprendront à canaliser leur attention, à apaiser le tourbillon des sensations corporelles engendré par certaines émotions et augmenteront leur capacité à gérer des situations stressantes. De plus, en ayant une meilleure connaissance de leur fonctionnement cognitif et émotionnel, nous espérons que les enfants pourront mieux entrer dans les apprentissages scolaires et relationnels. Pour des enfants rencontrant des difficultés d’apprentissage, les enjeux de motivation sont importants. En leur amenant des expériences où ils peuvent acquérir un sentiment de contrôle sur ce qui se passe en eux, cela leur donne l’envie d’apprendre et de comprendre. J’espère qu’ils pourront ensuite, à leur tour, transmettre un bout de leurs connaissances à leurs pairs. Mais avant tout, l’enjeu principal de ces activités est faire vivre aux enfants des expériences et des émotions positives. En effet, pour apprendre il faut être habité par cette sensation de confort, cette impression que l’on nomme plaisir. Les recherches montrent effectivement que la curiosité, l’attention et le plaisir entraînent la formation de nouvelles synapses et conséquemment l’acquisition de nouvelles connaissances. Pour terminer, j’aimerais remercier les enfants que j’accompagne ainsi que mes collègues car ils se sont montrés ouverts à inclure dans notre quotidien de nouvelles façons de faire et de réfléchir. Je me réjouis de pouvoir poursuivre l’expérimentation et la mise en pratique de diverses expériences initiées par ce CAS.
