Introduction: nursing as the backbone of the global health care system. The workload in critical care units affects the quality of health care. The creation of therapeutic support units for medical specialties has increased their complexity. The Simplified Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System (TISS-28) determines workload. The lack or absence of the application of these tools within the ICU has evidenced a workload and caused adverse effects for the external and internal user. Objective: to determine the nursing workload by means of the TISS-28 Prognostic System in the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital General Docente Ambato. Methods: a prospective, descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational, descriptive study was conducted during the period from June to August 2019; in the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital General Docente Ambato. Results: there is a deficit of nursing staff in the shift from 19 to 35%. The workload increases adverse events: Health Care Associated Infections, medication errors, deteriorating the quality of health care. Multiplying the workload of nursing staff in Intensive Care Units. Conclusions: the TISS-28 scale has proven to be a reliable method to determine and distribute workload. Workload increased adverse events deteriorating the quality of health and the incidence of burnout syndrome in health care personnel
Breeding Ecology and Population Status of Kenyan Amphibians
Authors: Koskei Alfayo 
Published: May 2023

Although amphibians significantly contribute to energy flow in ecosystem, recent studies show that over 1800 amphibians are at risk of extinction globally and about fifth (235) of species in sub-Saharan Africa are threatened with extinction due to habitat destruction. The results show that coastal biodiversity hotspots including Shimba Hills National Reserve (30 species of anuras) and Taita Hill ecosystem complex (24 species) are leading in amphibian biodiversity and level of endemism. Moreover, the distribution of Afrixalus slylvaticus in Shimba Hills Ecosystem was almost equal in both land tenure types (51% in protected and 49% in community land). However, the species was more abundant during the wet season than dry (58 and 42%, respectively) which represented a statistical significant difference (t-value = −3.38, p-value = 0.002, DF = 30). However, the level of endemism declines drastically inland and towards the drier parts of the country. Most amphibian ecosystems in Kenya are facing perturbation from rapid human population growth, expansion of urban and agriculture areas, unplanned infrastructural and unregulated use of riparian zones. This pace of amphibian loss and decline calls for immediate collaborative actions. Reversing the trend requires dire commitment from conservationists and communities.

Published: May 2023

Leucaena leucocephala is a leguminous shrub that has the potential for increasing animal production with diverse environmental and ecological significance. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of hot saline water treatment durations on the emergence of Leucaena seeds. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with six treatments and three replicates. The treatments are control, soaking of seeds in hot saline water (20 g NaCl/1 L of distilled water) at 80°C for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5-min durations. The percentage emergence, emergence index, plant height and leave numbers were measured. Hot saline water treatment durations had positive effect of breaking Leucaena seed dormancy and enhance germination. The highest percentage emergence and emergence index (53.9% and 7.95) were obtained at 2 min treatment durations but plant height and number of leaves were highest (6.29 cm and 7.00 cm) respectively in 4 min of treatment durations. It could be concluded that percentage emergence and seedling growth of Leucaena can be enhanced using 2 min hot saline water treatment duration. It is recommended that saline soils that have being degraded due to oil spillage to enable production of Leuceana as animal feed and control environmental degradation.
Midwives’ Experience of Traumatic Birth in Cyprus

Published: May 2023

In the twenty-first century, research evidence justifies that maternity health professionals, particularly midwives, may experience a birth as traumatic. Childbirth in Cyprus is highly medicalized and midwives as advocates of normal birth, face enormous difficulties to fulfill their professional role. Therefore, identified as crucial to finding more about midwives’ experience providing perinatal care in Cyprus. A study was carried out to explore midwives’ experiences of traumatic childbirth in Cyprus and how this affects their personal and professional life. Qualitative design approach was used based on Husserl’s phenomenological approach. Following ethical approval, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of midwives (N = 14) from September until December 2021. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s method and analysis revealed three main themes with subthemes: (1) The nature of traumatic events, (2) Consequences of traumatic experience, and (3) Dealing with traumatic events. Some midwives become defensive and careful, in order to avoid a similar traumatic experience in the future, while some of them develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Midwives in Cyprus experience traumatic events during childbirth that negatively affect their professional and personal life with long-term effects. Collegiality is important to deal with traumatic events. More awareness must be created during basic and continuing education about decision-making power and problem-solving.
Multimodal Pain Management in Extremely Low Birth Weight Neonates after Major Abdominal Surgery
Authors: Jancova Hana , Pokorna Pavla 
Published: May 2023

Limited data are available in the literature on multimodal pain management in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates. This chapter aimed to summarize current knowledge about the effects of analgesics and sedatives (paracetamol, opioids, benzodiazepines and anaesthetics) on postoperative pain management (≤ 48 hours after surgery). The primary endpoints of postoperative pain management were searched using validated pain assessment instruments, such as pain intensity, excessive sedation, drug consumption or adequate rescue medication. The secondary endpoints are the safety parameters of the drugs used, while the determinants of short/long-term outcome (duration of mechanical ventilation, intraventricular haemorrhage—IVH, periventricular leukomalacia—PVL, postnatal growth restriction, stage of chronic lung disease—CLD or neurodevelopmental outcome according to the Bayley-II Scale of Infant Development at 18–24 months or developmental equivalents at early-school age) were assessed as tertiary endpoints. Additionally, one of the most important key elements of clinical science is known as clinical research study validation, including specific tools and techniques within the validation processes. This chapter focuses on postoperative multimodal pain management, including the implementation of pain assessment tools and analgesic and sedative dosing regimens needed to achieve the efficacy and safety goals of an optimal pain profile in ELBW neonates; only proven non-pharmacological procedures are not included.

Published: May 2023

In the quest to improve on some properties of aluminum alloy for better engineering application, eggshell particulate was used to reinforce the alloy at various percentages in this research. The reinforcement was carried out at a superheated temperature of 700°C in order to have homogenous mixture prior to casting. Micro hardness, impact and microstructure were evaluated. It was observed that eggshell particulates has positive impact on the mechanical properties of aluminum with sample X2 reinforced with 4% eggshell particulate possessing the highest hardness value of 187.1 Hv in comparison with the control sample Xo showing the least value of 100.7 Hv. The impact result complemented the hardness results with samples X1 and X2 reinforced with 2% and 4% respectively of eggshell particulates exhibiting the highest impact value of 4.7 J each. This thus indicates that eggshell particulate can be considered as an alternative reinforcing agent in improving the mechanical properties of aluminum 6063. The particulate however dampens the corrosion resistance of Al6063 to deterioration in saline environment with the control sample Xo showing the least corrosion rate (0.15711 mpy), corrosion density (−0.012211 A/cm2) and the highest corrosion potential (0.99186 V). Thus, indicating that the material is not recommended for use in such environment. However, more percentage of the particulates is recommended in order to affirm the optimum ratio to which Al6063 would yield better properties.
State-Corporate environmental crime and human security in the Niger Delta, Nigeria
Authors: Barigbon Christopher Barisi 
Published: May 2023

Admittedly, environmental crime or green criminology as sub-filed or a separate section of legal jurisprudence is struggling to evolve in Nigeria. This is particularly so in the light of lax legislation regulating the Nigeria oil industry. This paper advanced the argument that all human acts such as oil spills, gas flaring and other forms of environmental degradation in contravention of existing environmental legislation amount to environmental violence; and constitute environmental crime; which crime is increasing unabated in the Nigeria Delta region of Nigeria, with huge human security implications. The environment isthe life and sustainer of humanity, unfortunately man has become a destroyer instead of a protector and replenisher of the environment on account of the unsustainable drive for capital accumulation for industrialization and development. The outcomes of the activities associated with industrialization and development instead of ameliorating has rather deepened the poverty and misery of the Niger Delta. The acts of ecocide and genocide committed by the Multinational Oil Corporations with the tacit connivance Nigerian state had continuously threatened human security, without commensurable commitments to halting the impending Armageddon. The argument of this paper is guided by resource curse theory. Data were purely qualitative, and generated from secondary sources and subjected to content analysis. The fundamental finding of this paper is that the trouble with environmental governance in Nigeria is not the want of regulations, albeit weak but the weak extractive and regulatory capacity of the Nigeria state to enforce compliance. The paper recommends very strongly that the Nigerian state must assert its stateness, effectively perform its regulatory roles, and criminalize all acts of environment violations.

The Parties which have a low level of interest but have high influence are Bappenas, Kemenkomaritim, Kemenpar, Ministry of PUPR, Bappeda North Sumatra, and Bappeda Simalungun Regency. The Parties with a high level of interest but low influence are the surrounding community, such as Pokdarwis (Kelompok Sadar Wisata), and cooperation (koperasi). The party that has a low level of interest and influence is PHRI. Coordination and communication are needed amongst the parties to carry out the national program in developing tourism priorities at KHDTK Aek Nauli correctly.
Genetic variation of pest fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in different landscapes in Bogor
Authors: Fahmi Fajrin , Kusumah R Yayi Munara , Buchori Damayanti 
Published: May 2023

Spodoptera frugiperda is an invasive pest from the American continent that attacks corn (Zea mays) and rapidly invaded Africa and Asia. Two main factors that support migration and population distribution of this species are suitable habitats and human activities. To date, two genetic strains of S. frugiperda have been found in corn in Indonesia: the corn strain (CS) and the rice strain (RS). The most accurate gene markers to detect these strains are COI and Tpi, which are located in mitochondria and Z chromosome. This study aims to determine the existing strains of S. frugiperda and their distribution in various landscapes in Bogor Regency. The research was conducted from July 2020 to December 2021 in Bogor, West Java. Sampling of S. fungiperda was carried out from corn plants in Leuwisadeng, Pamijahan1, Pamijahan2, Kemang, Tenjolaya, Dramaga, Cigombong, Cijeruk, Tamansari, and Ciomas. Larval samples were collected and preserved using 96% ethanol, followed by DNA extraction, DNA amplification, electrophoresis, and DNA sequencing. Distribution data were analyzedusing QGIS and Google Earth Pro programs, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22. Sequence data were edited using GeneStudio, aligned using ClustalW in BioEdit, and the phylogeny tree was reconstructed using the neighbor-joining method (bootstrap 1000x) using MEGA X. The obtained sequences were compared with sequences from the GenBank® database. The results showed the presence of two distinct strains of COI (COI-CSh4 and COI-RS) and one strain of Tpi (Tpi-C) in Bogor. The study found no relationship between thelandscape structure and genetic variation of S. frugiperda.

Authors: Mochon Alain , Savard Michel 
Published: May 2023

Un premier inventaire des libellules dans le parc national du Bic en 2021 et en 2022 rapporte une richesse de 50 espèces et précise la composition de l’odonatofaune de 6 biotopes : le cours torrentueux d’une rivière, une mare nouvellement créée par la restauration d’une ancienne tourbière, un lac de kettle peu profond, un marais salé, un étang de castors et un ensemble de 4 petits étangs forestiers. La collecte exceptionnelle d’une exuvie de la gracieuse (Libellula pulchella) dans le parc constitue une première preuve que l’espèce peut compléter son cycle de développement à cette latitude. La mise à jour de la liste des espèces d’odonates de la région administrative du Bas-Saint-Laurent ajoute 38 espèces à la compilation précédente, portant le total à 81 espèces. Le réchauffement climatique semble avoir favorisé l’expansion vers le nord de l’aeschne cintrée (Aeshna constricta), de la leucorrhine mouchetée (Leucorrhinia intacta) et de la lydienne (Plathemis lydia) au Québec.

Aims: Mold contamination of foods especially by mycotoxin producing fungi is not only a global food quality concern for food manufacturers, but it also constitutes a high risk for human and animal health resulting in massive economic losses globally. This study investigated the effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) on the growth of Aspergillus carbonarius strains and their production of ochratoxin A (OTA).
Methodology: Seven fresh coffee cherry and 9 dry coffee cherry samples were collected from Man, Daloa and Akoupé 3 main coffee producing regions in Côte d’Ivoire. LAB were isolated from fresh coffee cherries while mold strains were from both fresh and dry coffee cherry. The inhibitory effect against mold growth and the ability for OTA removal of selected LAB strains were tested successively in vitro and then during coffee cherry primary postharvest processing before evaluating their influence on sensory quality of beverage. OTA production ability of molds strains are studied using both solid (CYA) and liquid (CYB) Cazapeck Yeast medium.
Results: About 34 fungal isolates belonging to Aspergillus and Penicillium genus were studied for their OTA production using the agar plug technique and HPLC-FD. Five A. carbonarius strains were capable of OTA production between 15.9 and 83mg.kg-1.Out of seven isolates of Lactobacillus plantarum, two were successful in inhibition of mycelial growthproduced fungicidal activity; five were successful in retarding it produced fungistatical activity All of L. plantarum isolates exhibited OTA reduction ability at about 99 %. The inoculation of two highest anti-ochratoxigenic LAB to fermenting coffee cherries resulted in great inhibition of mold growth and OTA contents reduction varying from 63.2 to 82.2%. The addition of LAB to coffee cherries did not influence the sensory attributes of the beverages produced thereof.
Conclusion: This study highlighted that LAB are very promising biological candidates for reduction of mold contamination and removal OTA from coffee cherry during primary postharvest processing.
