Authors: Breesam Angham Abdulrazzaq , Nooruldeen Mohammed Yawoz 
Published: December 2022

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SAR-CoV-2) is the novel infectious disease agent that causes COVID-19. The laboratory confirmation of COVID-19 is based on nucleic acid-based virus genome sequencing and real-time PCR and serological methods, rapid antigenic testing. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity of the immunochromatography method by comparing it with PCR in covid-19 diagnosis. The study involved 116 samples, 90 samples included covid-19 patients and 26 samples included healthy, as a control group. Two nasopharyngeal swabs (NP) were taken, one for an antigenic test cassette and the other swab for re-confirmation of the infection by a real-time RT-PCR. The result of this study showed that there was a significant difference (P value = 0.0001) between RT PCR and rapid Ag tests in patients and healthy groups. The low sensitivity recorded for rapid antigen detection kits was 69% and 70%, respectively, compared with the 100% sensitivity of PCR. This study demonstrated an elevated positive rate of rapid Ag positive during the period (8–14 days) of symptoms onset. This study concluded that the rapid antigen test is a helpful tool for detecting the presence of COVID-19 infection, but it may not be the best alternative due to its low sensitivity.

Authors: Francisco Monteiro Souza José , Mota Pinheiro Juarez 
Published: December 2022

The research identified the potability conditions of the subterranean waters utilized by the urban population of Apicum-Açu - MA. To achieve the proposed goals it was analyzed the water levels of physical quality from the analysis of physical parameters: Potential Hydrogen(pH), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Salinity, and Turbidity. The samples were obtained in 49 tubular wells and waterholes inside the urban zone of the municipality and analyzed by a portable Aquaread AP800 multiparameter. To the ascertainment of the physical quality levels from the samples utilized, it was used the determined parameters defined by the Brazilian law in the patterns of water potability to human consumption established by the Normative Resolution in CONAMA 357/2005. The results found had identified that the pH shows itself as slightly acid to basic, the salinity in the majority of the wells presents at a low of 0,5% as well as other indexes of EC, TDS, and Turbidity found themselves inside the water quality levels of human consumption established by the CONAMA 357/2005. As such, it was possible to classify the subterranean water, inside the urban zone of the municipality of Apicum-Açu as potable, indicated to consumption, with caveats and recommendations that can contribute to maintaining and improving the levels of its potability.

Published: December 2022

Indonesia is a country where the majority of the population is Muslim where it is very important to know the principles of GCG Islamically in the implementation of business. The application of the principles of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) in Islamic banks is very important. This is because Islamic banks as intermediary institutions are collecting funds from the public and distributing them to people who need them. Thus, efforts to maintain public trust in banking are a very important part to do. One way to maintain public trust is to apply the principles contained in Good Corporate Governance. This study aims to determine the implementation of GCG in BMI, and whether it is in accordance with Islamic law. This type of research uses descriptive qualitative research. The results of this study indicate that the application of the principles of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) at Bank Muamalat Indonesia, namely accountability, professionalism, transparency, responsibility, and fairness (equity) has been carried out properly in accordance with applicable guidelines and regulations.

Ammattiin opiskelevat ja hyvä elämä: työntekijyyttä vai jotain ihan muuta?
Authors: Meriläinen Niina , Ågren Susanna 
Published: December 2022

Ammatillinen koulutus kohdistaa ammattiin opiskeleville nuorille paljon odotuksia työelämästä ja työntekijänä toimimisesta. Aiempien tutkimusten mukaan ammattiin opiskelevat omaksuvatkin palkkatyön tärkeänä lähtökohtana hyvälle elämälle. Ammattiin opiskelevien yhteiskunnallisesta jäsenyydestä tuotetaan kuitenkin hyvin kapeaa narratiivia, mikäli heidän hyvää elämäänsä tarkastellaan vain työntekijyyden näkökulmasta. Tarkastelemmekin tässä artikkelissa empiirisesti, millaisia ymmärryksiä ammattiin opiskelevilla itsellään on hyvästä elämästä ja miten työntekijyyttä korostava narratiivi näyttäytyy suhteessa näihin ymmärryksiin sekä ammattiin opiskelevien mahdollisuuksiin elää haluamanlaistaan elämää. Artikkelin aineisto koostuu ammattiin opiskelevien nuorten työpajatöistä, joita kerättiin vuosina 2018–2020. Tulostemme mukaan ammattiin opiskelevien nuorten ymmärryksissä hyvä elämä ei kytkeydy ainoastaan palkkatyökehykseen, vaan tärkeässä asemassa ovat esimerkiksi rakkaus, harrastukset ja niihin liittyvät haaveet. Esitämmekin, että ammattiin opiskelevat tulisi nähdä yksilöinä, joilla on monenlaisia hyvää elämää koskevia haaveita sen sijaan, että heistä keskusteltaisiin vain tulevana homogeenisenä työntekijöiden joukkona. Tällä on merkitystä siihen, miten ammattiin opiskelevat kokevat tulevansa kuulluiksi ja arvostetuiksi yhteiskunnan jäseninä.

Vocational students and a good life: Is it about being a worker or something else?
Vocational education places many expectations on vocational students regarding working life. According to previous studies, vocational students regard paid work as an important premise for a good life. However, this narrative may ignore other perspectives of their good life.In this article, we focus empirically on what kind of understandings of a good life various vocational students have and how these narratives emphasising work relate to those understandings. The empirical research data was collected from 185 young vocational students during workshops held between 2018 and 2020. According to our results, for vocational students, a good life is not only connected to the framework of paid work, but also to love, hobbies and related dreams. We propose that vocational students should be seen as individuals with many dreams regarding a good life, instead of being discussed only as a group of future workers. We find that this influences how they experience themselves as being heard and valued in society.

Pitkäaikaistyöttömien nuorten asemoituminen työttömyysturvalaissa säädettyihin velvoitteisiin
Authors: Ylistö Sami 
Published: December 2022

Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan, miten pitkäaikaistyöttömät nuoret asemoivat itsensä työttömyysturvalain työttömiä koskeviin yleisiin velvoitteisiin. Aineistona on 28 jyväskyläläisen pitkäaikaistyöttömän nuoren elämänkulkuhaastattelua, joita analysoidaan käsitekarttamenetelmän avulla. Tutkimuksen teoreettinen viitekehys perustuu Giddensin rakenteistumisteoriaan, jonka keskeinen käsite asemoituminen on. Pitkiin työttömyysjaksoihin liittyen nuorten tarinoista löytyy viisi toisistaan poikkeavaa asemoitumisen tapaa: 1) velvoitteiden mukaisesti toimiva, 2) työttömyyteen sopeutunut, 3) työvoimasta vetäytynyt, 4) työvoimasta syrjäytynyt ja 5) eksyksissä oleva työtön. Tutkimus osoittaa, että pitkäaikaistyöttömien nuorten näkökulmasta työttömiä koskevat lakisääteiset velvoitteet voivat olla epärealistisia, minkä vuoksi nuoret eivät välttämättä sitoudu niiden mukaiseen toimintaan. Samasta syystä työvoimapoliittiset sanktiot eivät välttämättä tuota pitkäaikaistyöttömien nuorten osalta niitä käyttäytymismuutoksia, joita niillä virallisesti tavoitellaan.

The positioning of long-term unemployed young people in relation to the Unemployment Security Act’s legal responsibilities. Sami Ylistö
This article examines how long-term unemployed young people position themselves in relation to the general obligations of the Unemployment Security Act. The data consists of 28 life-course interviews with long-term unemployed young people living in the Jyväskylä area in Finland. The main theoretical framework is Anthony Giddens’ Theory of Structuration, in which one of the central concepts is positioning. The data is analyzed using the improved concept mapping method, which resulted in five different modes of positioning for the young persons: 1) obedient, 2) adjusted, 3) withdrawn, 4) marginalized and 5) strayed unemployed person. The study shows that from an unemployed young person’s point of view, the legal obligations for the unemployed can be unrealistic and may therefore lead to weak commitment to legal responsibilities. For the same reason, in this group, labour market sanctions do not necessarily produce the behavioural changes that they are formally pursuing, but can further weaken their situation.

Complexity in the adaptation of aspect-oriented software Development
Authors: Abid M Kamran , Mohibullah Khan  
Published: December 2022

The software products are an integral part of the modern era and this encourages the developers to explore new techniques for the development. As the software products are becoming more complex, this demands a new technique to deal with the complexity. Aspect-Oriented Software Development is an example of a technique that deals with modern complex systems. As the structure of the new technique is also complex for the new developers, they want to change their way of development according to the new demands and there is no model for the new developers. This paper purposed a model using the basic phases of software development. This model educates and encourages the new developers to adopt the new software development technique. The Paper also discusses the common tools and techniques regarding the different phases of aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) to deal with the complexity of the system more efficiently.

Miliary Bovine Tuberculosis in Buffaloes in Al-Muthanna Governorate, Iraq
Authors: Al Salihi Karima Akool , AL-Zuhairi Ahmed Hanash , Jalil Waleed Ibrahim 
Published: December 2022

Background: Bubalus bubalis (river buffaloes) are widely distributed in the southern marshes of Iraq. This study intends to record a case of miliary tuberculosis in buffalo for the first time in Al Muthanna abattoir, Iraq, with its clinical, gross, and histopathological findings and microbiological investigations.
Case Description: Ten years old buffalo showed chronic cough, infertility, emaciation, debilitation, lower milk production, loss of weight, and loss of appetite for 2 months; during meat inspection, thousands of various size typical tubercles, yellowish, granulomatous, and caseous lesions were distributed over all the body.
Results: Microscopically, features of tuberculosis granuloma lesions were observed and revealed oval or round caseous necrosis with irregular central areas. Moreover, mineralization was enclosed by a thin to a broad layer of diverse inflammatory cells and solid collagenous connective tissue sheath. Moreover, a direct smear from the lesion stained by the Ziehl-Neelsen stain showed a slightly curved, red, and straight rod that was seen alone or in clusters, indicating the bacilli of tuberculosis. Additionally, the growing bacteria on the Löwenstein-Jensen media slant revealed flat, smooth, moist, white, not pigmented colonies suggestive of M. Bovis that revealed typical results with traditional biochemical tests, including negative reaction to nitrate reduction, niacin test, and deamination of pyrazinamide.
Conclusion: For the author’s knowledge, this is the first case report of miliary bovine tuberculosis in buffalo in Iraq. The diagnosis was made according to clinical signs, gross pathology, and histopathological features supported by Ziehl-Neelsen stain and bacterial isolation. The author recommends future epidemiological molecular studies to improve the diagnosis tools of bovine tuberculosis in Iraq and investigate the causative agent M. Bovis to establish the roles for disease control that becomes much more challenging.

Efecto del papel frente a la pantalla como soporte en la detección de errores en traducción
Authors: Calvo-Ferrer José Ramón 
Published: December 2022

Pese a la creencia de que la información escrita se procesa de manera más efectiva a través de materiales impresos, estudios recientes indican que el uso continuado de dispositivos digitales de lectura puede haber minimizado las diferencias entre un medio y otro. Considerando que no es extraño encontrar profesionales que recomiendan imprimir lo traducido para su revisión, así como la falta de estudios al respecto, este estudio pretende identificar el efecto del papel y de la pantalla en la detección de errores en traducción. Para ello, un grupo de estudiantes de la Universidad de Alicante revisó a través del monitor de un ordenador personal (n = 70) una traducción que contenía errores no lingüísticos (de tipo ortotipográfico, identificables sin necesidad tener conocimientos específicos del idioma del texto origen) y de tipo lingüístico (para cuya detección se requiere un cierto grado de conocimientos en el idioma en cuestión), mientras que otro grupo llevó a cabo la misma revisión con traducción y original impresos en papel (n = 73). Los análisis estadísticos señalan que revisar en pantalla resulta más efectivo para detectar ambos tipos de errores, especialmente los no lingüísticos.
La traducción literaria asistida por ordenador aplicada a la novela histórica (alemán-español): entrenamiento y comparación de sistemas de traducción automática
Authors: Castillo Bernal Pilar 
Published: December 2022

La investigación en torno a la traducción asistida por ordenador (TAO) aplicada a la literatura ha experimentado un verdadero auge en la última década. Estudios como Youdale (2020) han demostrado la utilidad de diversas herramientas TAO para el traductor literario, así como sus implicaciones estilísticas (Kenny y Winters, 2020), mientras que Moorkens et al. (2018) comparan distintos sistemas de traducción automática (TA) y Toral y Way (2015) entrenan un motor de traducción automática para aplicarlo a la traducción de la novela. Partiendo de estos trabajos y de estudios anteriores (Autor, 2022a, 2022b, 2017), en la presente investigación se entrena un sistema propio de TA con la traducción existente de una novela histórica alemana de temática jurídica para utilizarlo con una segunda novela de la misma temática. Posteriormente se posedita la traducción así generada y se comparan los errores detectados con un sistema de TA generalista no entrenado, con especial énfasis en la posedición (PE) de rasgos estilísticos y del lenguaje de especialidad jurídico-judicial. El propósito es comprobar hasta qué punto un sistema customizado de TA puede asistir al traductor literario en su compleja labor.

Aims: Increasing research findings have documented the continuous emergence and threats posed by drug resistant clinical isolates from post-operative wound infections to commonly used antibiotics globally. This hospital-based study investigated virulent bacterial pathogens implicated with post-operative wound infections among surgical site infection (SSI) patients in Calabar, Nigeria and determined their antibiotic resistance pattern.
Methodology: A total of 127 bacterial isolates of different genus from 110 SSI patients, were isolated from pus and surgical wound exudates and fully characterized using standard bacteriological procedures. Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of isolates were determined using Kirby- Bauer disk diffusion method, following the guidelines by Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI).
Results: Multi-drug resistant bacteria isolated and their percentage frequency were coagulase Negative Staphylococci (21.3%), Staphylococcus aureus (19.7%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (14.2%), Escherichia coli (11.8%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (9.4%), Enterococcus faecium (6.3), Enterobacter cloacae (4.7%), Proteus mirabilis (4.7%), Acinetobacter baumannii (3.1%), Pseudomonas putida (3.1%) and Aerococcus viridans (1.6%). Among gram-positive bacteria isolated, S. aureus showed highest resistance to several antimicrobials (100% to oxacillin, 96% to ciprofloxacin, 92% to levofloxacin, and 76% resistance to vancomycin). All recovered S. aureus isolates were cefoxitin screen positive indicating possible MRSA isolates. Additionally, among Gram-negative isolates K. pneumoniae was found to possess higher resistance to several antibiotics (66.7% resistance to each of ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ceftazidime, trimethoprim /sulfamethoxazole, cefazolin, ampicillin, tobramycin and 58.3% resistance to each of ceftriaxone, gentamicin, and ampicillin/sulbactam). Statistical analysis of categorical variables of study subjects revealed that length of hospital stay, type of surgery, previous admission history, antibiotic use, and age were significant (p<0.05) in SSI outcome of patients, while patients’ gender was not significant (p>0.05) in SSI outcome.
Conclusion: Adherence to measures of strict infection control, optimal preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative patient care, including multifaceted approaches involving surveillance, and antimicrobial stewardship, are vital to SSI treatment outcomes.

Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive and complex subtype of breast cancer that lacks targeted therapy. TNBC manifests characteristic, extensive intratumoral heterogeneity that promotes disease progression and influences drug response. Single‐cell techniques in combination with next‐generation computation provide an unprecedented opportunity to identify molecular events with therapeutic potential. Here, we describe the generation of a comprehensive mass cytometry panel for multiparametric detection of 23 phenotypic markers and 13 signaling molecules. This single‐cell proteomic approach allowed us to explore the landscape of TNBC heterogeneity, with particular emphasis on the tumor microenvironment. We prospectively profiled freshly resected tumors from 26 TNBC patients. These tumors contained phenotypically distinct subpopulations of cancer and stromal cells that were associated with the patient's clinical status at the time of surgery. We further classified the epithelial‐mesenchymal plasticity of tumor cells, and molecularly defined phenotypically diverse populations of tumor‐associated stroma. Furthermore, in a retrospective tissue‐microarray TNBC cohort, we showed that the level of CD97 at the time of surgery has prognostic potential.
