Authors: Rabia Rasheed  , Kokab Jabeen  , Summaya Sikandar Beg  , Farhan Rasheed  
Published: May 2023

Background: Acinetobacter species are a key source of hospital acquired infection in debilitated patients. Acinetobacter baumannii being the commonest species implicated in such infections. The clinical significance of Acinetobacter genus is partially due to its capability to develop resistance against broad spectrum antibiotics including beta lactams, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides and quinolones. Resistance to carbapenems is also on the rise. The objective of this study was to evaluate in vitro antimicrobial activity of Tigecycline against carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter species (CRAB) isolated from clinical specimens of patients presenting to a Tertiary Care Hospital.
Methods: A total of 230 clinical samples submitted to Microbiology Lab, AIMC were included in this study. All clinical specimens were identified using the standard microbiological protocol. After the confirmation of Gram negative coccobacillary rods as Acinetobacter species, modified Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method was used to detect Carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter species. Antibiotic susceptibility to Tigecycline was checked both by disc diffusion and then MICs were determined with the help of E strips (Epsilometer test).
Results: Out of 230 isolates of Carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter, 220(95.6%) were sensitive to Tigecycline, 3(1.3%) were intermediate resistant and 07(3%) were resistant to Tigecycline.
Conclusion: Tigecycline has shown considerable in vitro activity against MDR (multi drug resistant) including carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. It seems to be a good treatment option for infections caused by MDR Acinetobacter. However, data to support its clinical use is still limited
A Discussion on the relationship between prominent unconformities on the SCS shelf margins and the end of seafloor spreading in the South China Sea
Authors: Kessler Franz , Jong John 
Published: May 2023

In an effort to reconcile different data sources (seafloor spreading, seismic and gravity images, well calibrations, outcrop studies) in the South China Sea (SCS), we reviewed the unconformity records, in particular in the context with the shut-off of seafloor spreading in the SCS. With respect to the start of spreading, there is a consensus: ca. 34-41 Ma. Recent data infer an end of spreading, near to the magnetic Anomaly 5 = ca. 15.5 Ma (Langhian age). In Northwest Borneo, it is suggested that this event is coeval with the Deep Regional Unconformity (DRU) in Sabah and Brunei, and the Mid-Miocene Unconformity (MMU) in Sarawak. The MMU is also recognized in offshore Vietnam and Palawan, on the Western and Southeastern margins of the SCS, respectively. The MMU/DRU may constitute the border between active margin and passive margin deposits within the marine SCS sub-basins. The progradation of clastic shelves post-MMU/DRU may have hampered growth of bioherms whilst creating prolific sandstone reservoir sequences offshore Northwest Borneo and Vietnam.
Borborygmus Auscultation of Stomachless Ecologies
Authors: Vlasis Konstantine 
Published: May 2023

HDGC, or Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer, is a rare form of stomach cancer caused by a mutation of the CDH1 gene. Screening protocols suggest upper endoscopy biopsies every three to six months, however, since HDGC is nearly impossible to detect in early stages, the recommended preventative measure is total gastrectomy (TG) surgery—a complete removal of the stomach. Modified lifestyles for stomachless persons include many changes, but some of the most quotidian aspects surround the novel anatomy of the intestines and their lively gastrointestinal conversations. One patient describes their own intestinal dialogue as “so loud and so rumbly that you could hear it across the room.” Another claims how their “gut has made lots of noise, but these noises [post-surgery] are new, and REALLY loud .” For these patients and others, sound and listening become key characteristics and significant aspects of a stomachless body.
This lyric essay explores how audible bodily expressions can, on the one hand, manifest feelings of uncertainty, fear, self-loathing, and physical alienation; and, on the other hand, serve as forms of empowerment, healing, and physical remediation. Moreover, this piece is a meditation on environmental thinking, and questions the delineations between objects of listening (sonic phenomena as material objects) and listening-subjects. Here, borborygmus auscultation foregrounds the broader ecologies (from microbiomes to conservation field sites) in which listeners are enmeshed.
Panoptic Employment
Authors: Hewitt Benjamin 
Published: May 2023

Remote workers are subjected to constant and intrusive surveillance by employers and health technology companies. Working from home became commonplace as a result of COVID-19, and increasingly employers use health and location tracking software, as well as webcams and facial recognition, to monitor their employees. This surveillance exacerbates risks of discrimination based on health data and other lifestyle factors that have no bearing on work performance, implicates the privacy rights of family members and roommates, and sharpens the power asymmetry between employers and employees. Particularly as States seek to criminalize women seeking abortions following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, the safeguarding of health data on fertility-tracking applications has never been more important.
Given the novelty and rapidity of this transition, state and federal laws fall short of adequately protecting remote workers from incessant surveillance, particularly of their health data. Although several federal laws and agencies appear to address certain aspects of this threat, in practice laws such as HIPAA at the federal level and BIPA and CCPA in Illinois and California, respectively, do not sufficiently regulate the collection of health data from remote workers. In addition to these practical issues, U.S. privacy law generally places undue exclusive emphasis on the individual, relying on notice-and-consent provisions and anonymization. However, the case of remote worker surveillance highlights the deficiencies of this individualized focus. This Note details the prevalence and harm of remote worker surveillance, discusses how the current data privacy legal regime falls short, and offers proposals for strengthening privacy protections for remote workers and their health data.

The real income channel and contractionary devaluations in a heterogeneous agent model for Latin America
Authors: Campos Rodolfo , Paz Peter 
Published: May 2023

Rationale
In Latin America, it is not unusual to see exchange rate depreciations in excess of 20% in a single year. Although depreciation tends to stimulate a country’s net external demand, it does not always lead to increased output. It is worth understanding which channels may explain this outcome.
Takeaways
•In conventional macroeconomic theory, exchange rate depreciations have expansionary effects on economic activity. However, the empirical evidence shows that, in the case of emerging market economies, devaluing the exchange rate may cause output to contract.
•One channel that explains this evidence, known as the real income channel, operates through the erosion of purchasing power as a result of rising prices for imported goods, which can lead to a fall in the real consumption of households with limited access to financial markets.
•This article discusses a heterogeneous agent model calibrated for the main Latin American economies that allows the importance of this channel to be measured. The results show that this channel may have a sizable macroeconomic impact, particularly on economies more open to international trade.

Berat badan adalah salah satu tolak ukur yang penting untuk mengetahui kondisi tubuh seseorang. Berat badan adalah hasil dari peningkatan atau penurunan semua jaringan yang terdapat pada tubuh, antara lain : tulang, otot, lemak, cairan tubuh, dan lain-lain. ASI eksklusif adalah pemberian ASI kepada bayi sejak lahir tampah diberikan makanan lain sampai bayi berusia 6 bulan. Susu formula dapat diberikan pada bayi 0-6 bulan tetapi diberikan jika produksi ASI kurang mencakupi kebutuhan bayi. ASI menjadi pelindung yang baik untuk bayi dari berbagai gangguan penyakit seperti diare, ISPA, pneumonia, asma, obesitas dan diabetes. Susu formula diberikan harus sesuai dengan takaran dan kebutuhan bayi, karena pemberian susu formula yang berlebihan bisa mengakibatkan obesitas pada anak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan berat badan bayi yang diberi ASI eksklusif dan Susu formula di BPM Lismarini Palembang. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kuantitatif, menggunakan metode deskriptip analitik dengan pendekatan Cross sectional. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik total sampling dimana jumlah sampel sama dengan populasi, yaitu sebanyak 61 bayi.

Published: May 2023

Purpose: To explore the effect of market penetration strategies on the market performance of small and medium-tiered deposit-taking SACCOs in Kenya
Methodology: This proposed study utilized the positivist research philosophy and adopted a descriptive research design. A census of all 141 small and medium deposit-taking-SACCOS was conducted. Data was collected using questionnaires which were physically or electronically administered to the CEOs or their assistants who were the respondents in this study. Data analysis utilized descriptive and inferential statistics which were used to deduce the nature and strength of the relationship between variables. The inferential analysis yielded correlation and regression outputs which are best for determining relationships and prediction among variables. Key correlation and regression analysis techniques such as the coefficient of determination (r2) were utilized. The analysed data was presented using tables, charts and graphs.
Findings: The findings confirmed that market penetration strategies have a positive and significant effect on the market performance of small and medium-tiered deposit-taking SACCOs in Kenya (β=0.490, p=0.000). This implies that changes in 1 unit of the aspects related to market penetration strategies lead to a change in the market performance of small and medium-tiered deposit-taking SACCOs in Kenya by 0.490 units. Hence the rejection of the null hypothesis that market penetration strategies are not statistically significant to the market performance of small and medium-tiered deposit-taking SACCOs in Kenya.
Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: From study results when market penetration strategies such as service, brand, pricing and promotion differentiation are effectively induced by small and medium-tiered DT-SACCOs, the resultant effect is growth in sales revenue and market share, an increase in the number of new customers growth, service delivery excellence as well as growth in the number of innovations. Furthermore, small and medium DT-SACCOs are better engrained in the market, making them suitable to serve customers’ needs and attain a better position in the market when compared to other competitors. The study thus concluded that relationship between market penetration strategies and market performance is statistically significant, however in spite of the effect being statistically significant, study also found out that given a mean score of 3.59 and 3.62 respectively, brand differentiation and service differentiation strategies did not effectively boost market performance. The study thus recommends that small and medium Deposit taking SACCOs should invest in high yielding market penetration strategies such as price differentiation and increased advertising in order to boost market performance.

Selain itu, para pemulung dihadapkan pada berbagai tantangan, seperti kondisi kerja yang tidak aman, keterbatasan akses ke fasilitas kesehatan dan pendidikan, serta stigma negatif yang melekat pada profesi mereka. Meskipun demikian, para pemulung di TPA Pakusari memiliki strategi dan mekanisme untuk mengatasi stigma negatif dan membangun identitas positif sebagai pemulung.
Cathode reaction models for Braga-Goodenough Na-ferrocene and Li-MnO2 rechargeable batteries
Authors: Sakai Masanori 
Published: May 2023

Braga-Goodenough all-solid-state Na-Fc and Li-MnO2 batteries demonstrate deposition of Na and Li on the cathode during discharge. These reaction mechanisms were investigated in light of the generalized charge neutrality level and the experimental results of Braga et al., and two new types of mechanisms were proposed. The Na-Fc mechanism is represented by a multi-step C[(CE)cC]n mechanism where C is the chemical step, E is the electrochemical step, c is the catalytic (CE) step, and n denotes the number of [(CE)cC] part cycles. The nth cycle corresponds to n moles of Na and Li deposition. For Li-MnO2, two mechanisms were considered. One is the C[(CE)cC]n mechanism which is the same as Na-Fc, and the other is the C[2(CE)cC]n mechanism, which involves two consecutive (CE)c steps. In the C step of (CE)c of both mechanisms, Fc and MnO2 reduce Na+(sf) and Li+(sf) (sf - surface states) to deposit Na and Li, respectively, which are intramolecular charge transfer reactions within the adsorbed molecules. Fc and MnO2 are oxidized to inter­mediates immediately reduced to Fc and MnO2 by their anodes in the subsequent E step. Based on these mechanisms, these batteries' discharge capacity and cathode alkali metal deposition were examined in detail.

This is very important because developmental task that adolescent students must have is Emotional independence which will support him / her to develop their personality, complete study assignments and plan future careers. Most of students in guidance class did not understand how to deal with learning anxiety problems. Research method chosen was classroom action research (PTK) whose activities were based on cycle consisting of planning, implementing actions, observing and reflecting. Development of cycle depends on the reflection that is done in each cycle. Tools used were observation guidelines and reflection notes for each cycle. Way to draw conclusions to process the data quantitatively and describe results qualitatively. The findings in the study were: 1) level of student anxiety showed that behavioral group counseling showed a decrease in the level of student anxiety seen from an average value of 18 or 51.43% to 3 (8.75%) which indicated a significant reduction in anxiety problems. , 2) seen that student's activeness shows an increase in percentage from 34.29% in first cycle to 85.71% in second cycle, which means that with behavioral counseling all students can be actively involved in activities aimed at alleviating anxiety problems they experience. Conclusion is that behavioral group counseling can reduce student learning anxiety, which changes students' understanding of importance of reducing anxiety in learning. So, authors suggest that behavioral group coaching can be applied not only to coaching activities, but also learning activities in general.
