Background
In megacities, there is an urgent need to establish more sensitive forecasting and early warning methods for acute respiratory infectious diseases. Existing prediction and early warning models for influenza and other acute respiratory infectious diseases have limitations and therefore there is room for improvement.

Objective
The aim of this study was to explore a new and better-performing deep-learning model to predict influenza trends from multisource heterogeneous data in a megacity.

Methods
We collected multisource heterogeneous data from the 26th week of 2012 to the 25th week of 2019, including influenza-like illness (ILI) cases and virological surveillance, data of climate and demography, and search engines data. To avoid collinearity, we selected the best predictor according to the weight and correlation of each factor. We established a new multiattention-long short-term memory (LSTM) deep-learning model (MAL model), which was used to predict the percentage of ILI (ILI%) cases and the product of ILI% and the influenza-positive rate (ILI%×positive%), respectively. We also combined the data in different forms and added several machine-learning and deep-learning models commonly used in the past to predict influenza trends for comparison. The R2 value, explained variance scores, mean absolute error, and mean square error were used to evaluate the quality of the models.

Results
The highest correlation coefficients were found for the Baidu search data for ILI% and for air quality for ILI%×positive%. We first used the MAL model to calculate the ILI%, and then combined ILI% with climate, demographic, and Baidu data in different forms. The ILI%+climate+demography+Baidu model had the best prediction effect, with the explained variance score reaching 0.78, R2 reaching 0.76, mean absolute error of 0.08, and mean squared error of 0.01. Similarly, we used the MAL model to calculate the ILI%×positive% and combined this prediction with different data forms. The ILI%×positive%+climate+demography+Baidu model had the best prediction effect, with an explained variance score reaching 0.74, R2 reaching 0.70, mean absolute error of 0.02, and mean squared error of 0.02. Comparisons with random forest, extreme gradient boosting, LSTM, and gated current unit models showed that the MAL model had the best prediction effect.

Conclusions
The newly established MAL model outperformed existing models. Natural factors and search engine query data were more helpful in forecasting ILI patterns in megacities. With more timely and effective prediction of influenza and other respiratory infectious diseases and the epidemic intensity, early and better preparedness can be achieved to reduce the health damage to the population.

Authors: Abdulsalam Mohammed Paiman , Aghali Merza Muayad 
Published: January 2023

Objectives: First, to determine prevalence of vaccinated COVID-19 patients among hospitalized patients; Second, to determine the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of vaccinated and unvaccinated COVID-19 patients.
Methods: The study was carried out on 300 adult COVID-19 hospitalized patients at Duhok COVID-19 health facilities. A prospective cross-sectional study was used as the study design. Between October 1, 2021, and March 31, 2022, all patients with PCR-confirmed COVID-19 were enrolled.
Results: The majority of people in this study were unvaccinated. Pfizer was most popular among people who had received vaccination. The majority of hospitalized patients were old ages, the mean age was 60.73 ± 15.83 yr. In our study, the unvaccinated females had higher infection rates while vaccinated males had higher hospital admission rates. In our study, vaccinated patients had shorter hospital duration stays. In both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients, predominated cases were severe cases. D dimer was significantly higher among vaccinated patients. The mortality rate was relatively high among both groups. Patients who had received vaccinations tended to experience vomiting and flu-like symptoms more frequently than those who had not. In terms of comorbidities, smoking and malignancy were significant risk factors for COVID-19 infection in unvaccinated patients.
Conclusion: We looked at 300 COVID-19 hospitalized patients. In this study, the majority of people were unvaccinated. Pfizer, had higher prevalence among vaccinated individuals. Majority were elderly. The unvaccinated cases had a higher rate of female hospital admissions than male. The D.Dimer level was significantly different between the two groups. Vomiting and flu-like illness showed higher prevalence in vaccinated cases with significant difference. Smoking and malignancy were significant risk factors for COVID-19 infection in unvaccinated patients. In the fight against a public health disaster like a COVID-19 pandemic, the availability of a COVID-19 vaccines campaign are crucial.
NOTAS DE CAMPO SOBRE O OFÍCIO DE LAVAÇÃO NA CIDADE DE GOIÁS
Authors: Moreira Gleidson 
Published: January 2023

Este artigo é resultado da pesquisa etnográfica realizada na Cidade de Goiás, Goiás, Brasil, para minha tese em Antropologia Social. Trata do processo de silenciamento vivido pelas lavadeiras de ganho constituído ainda no contexto do empreendimento colonial. Subalternizadas, as lavadeiras viveram conflitos que geraram dores e sofrimentos; assim, traz-se, aqui, as relações de trabalho, os indícios de permanência para uma escravidão velada. Metodologicamente pautado em notas de meu caderno de campo, organizei dados da polícia civil, entrevistas e imagens para discutir quem eram essas mulheres e como foram tratadas em ambientes públicos (rios e córregos) e privados (casa dos patrões) constitutivos de arenas de conflitos. À luz de autores como: Gayatri Spivak, José Jorge de Cavalcante e Georges Vigarello, busquei entender como a subalternização silencia mas não apaga as dores. Com o apoio da antropologia, espero contribuir com este trabalho sem olhar por sobre seus ombros dizendo dores que só sente quem passa pelo processo, nesse caso, as próprias agentes.

DIÁLOGOS COM UM XAMÃ NA CIDADE: Estratégias de uma etnografia sobre o uso da jurema em rituais neoxamânicos durante a pandemia da Covid-19
Authors: Santana de Jesus Aparecida , Leal Esteves Leonardo 
Published: January 2023

Neste artigo trazemos algumas reflexões sobre as estratégias metodológicas utilizadas em uma pesquisa sobre o uso da jurema em rituais neoxamânicos no contexto urbano, durante a pandemia da Covid-19. De modo especial, o diálogo permanente estabelecido com um xamã, que veio a ser um interlocutor-chave durante todo o período da pesquisa, foi fundamental para compreender práticas e sentidos associados ao uso da jurema em rituais neoxamânicos na cidade. Considerando que processos diversificados de colaboração nas etnografias sempre fizeram parte, em alguma medida, da história da antropologia, acredita-se que foi possível garantir algum nível de descentramento e revelar aspectos importantes a respeito do campo que, de outra maneira, talvez não seriam possíveis

SPECIALIZATION AND GROWTH SOURCES OF AGRIBUSINESS EXPORTS
Authors: Leusin Junior Sergio , Feix Rodrigo Daniel , Daros Guilherme 
Published: January 2023

Esse estudo busca identificar e analisar as fontes de crescimento das exportações do agronegócio do Rio Grande do Sul entre 1999 e 2016, período marcado por transformações econômicas internas e externas, com destaque para a ascensãoe declínio dos preços das commodities agrícolas. Para o atendimento desse objetivo, recorre-se ao modelo matemático constant market share. Os resultados são analisados à luz de estudos teóricos e aplicados sobre os padrões de consumo alimentar no mundo e corroboram a tese de que o crescimento e a mudança da pauta de exportações do agronegócio gaúcho estão cada vez mais vinculados à demanda de países que compõem o que se convencionou chamar de Sul global. Essa característica deriva, dentre outros fatores, da mudança estrutural e, por consequência, dos padrões de consumo alimentar em curso em países de baixa e média renda, densamente povoados e em processo de urbanização, como a China, que incentivam a especialização produtiva do agronegócio gaúcho em setores nos quais a competitividade se estabelece via custos e há restrito espaço para a diferenciação de produto.

Dinamika Nahdlatul Ulama Cabang Blambangan Pada Tahun 1944-1966
Authors: Wahyudi Muhammad , Bayani Fara sari Nur , Pratama Akhmad Ryan , Swastika Kayan 
Published: January 2023

Nahdlatul Ulama Cabang Blambangan didirikan pada tahun 1944. Pembentukan Cabang Blambangan tidak dipicu oleh konflik seperti yang sering terjadi di organisasi lain. Pendirian cabang tersebut dilakukan untuk memaksimalkan jangkauan NU di seluruh pelosok wilayah Kabupaten Banyuwangi yang luas. Alasan ini juga dikuatkan oleh pernyataan PBNU yang menyebutkan keberadaan dua cabang tersebut dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kinerja kader-kader NU. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif penelitian ini menghasilkan kesimpulan: Pendirian NU Cabang Blambangan dilatarbelakangi oleh dua hal: Pertama, NU Cabang Banyuwangi yang sudah berdiri sejak 2 Februari 1930 dinilai masih terlalu berkutat di wilayah bagian utara. Padahal diwilayah bagaian selatan banyak berdiri madrasah dan pesantren. Kedua, keinginan untuk mempercepat perkembangan NU di Banyuwangi yang notabene merupakan Kabupaten terluas di Jawa Timur. Daerah-daerah yang tergabung dalam NU cabang Blambangan adalah kecamatan Srono, Cluring, Genteng, Gambiran, Tegaldlimo, Bangorejo, Pesanggaran. Pemilihan umum tahun 1955 di Banyuwangi menjadi ajang pembuktian bagi NU dalam pentas politik. NU Banyuwangi berhasil mendapatkan suara terbanyak pada pemilu tahun 1955 yaitu 160.989 suara. Hal ini membuktikan bahwasanya NU menjalankan komunikasi politiknya secara intens. Pada masa kegaduhan 1950-1965, NU fokus berpolitik dengan menggunakan media budaya, mereka juga aktif membendung suara-suara nasionalis dan komunis.

Authors: Nimo-Boakye A. , Badu-Nuamah S. 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of gentrification on Sunyani municipality development. The objectives are to identify the benefits of gentrification and the challenges.
Design/Methodology/ Approach: The research adopted a case study approach. The population was 200 buildings. This research made use of 1the non-probability sampling method to sample 41 respondents. The main instrument used for data gathering was the use of the questionnaire. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics that involved the use of mean scores and standard deviation with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 24).
Findings: Gentrification results in residential mobility and most of the buildings are redeveloped into commercial buildings to accommodate the financial institutions like the banks. 20-30 years period of ownership is being implemented by the developers in the area who engage in gentrification. The benefits are the creation of employment and development of the Central Commercial Area. Some of the challenges that were identified included Increased Social Vices; Land disputes among family members and Destruction of Community Bond.
Research Limitation/Implication: The study focused on traditional buildings in the study area.
Practical Implication: Planners who seek to avoid large-scale gentrification, or at least seek to further “development without displacement” and to maintain some minimum level of economic diversity in the nearby areas.
Social Implication: There need to be mandatory inclusionary housing policies should be in place that requires developers to set aside a significant percentage of new housing units at affordable rents for lower-income tenants.
Originality/ value: There has not been a study like this in the case study area and it has contributed to the existing body of knowledge by identifying 5 variables that bring benefits to gentrification.

Authors: Makalanga L.B. , Kilonzo R.G. , Nguyahambi A.M. 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This paper envisioned examining the participation of women political leaders in the local decision-making organs in Tanzania. Specifically, the study aimed to examine the number of women represented in the study local government structures (LGSs), the motives behind women participating in the LGSs and the duration of service in the study LGSs.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study used a cross-sectional descriptive research design. A cluster sampling technique was used to obtain the study villages and Mitaa. Both quantitative and qualitative research approaches with different data collection methods were used. To collect quantitative data, questionnaires were administered to 390 household heads both men and women in the study villages/Mitaa, while qualitative data were gathered using an interview guide, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and non-participant observation checklist. Quantitative data collected were analyzed and presented in tables and figures while the qualitative ones were thematically analyzed.
Findings: The study revealed that the number of women's participation in various local committees in the study of local government structures has increased by 50% (Dodoma City) and 30% (Bahi District). However, motives for women leaders’ participation are constrained by limited continuity of tenure in the political office. Therefore, suitable interventions are recommended to address the existing capacity gaps.
Research Limitation: The study targeted to involve an equal number of men and women household heads in each study village and Mitaa, however in some villages it happened to have less number of women than men household heads.
Practical implication: This study recommends that more spaces should be given to women to participate in local decision-making structures and hold seats to enhance gender equality in politics.
Originality/Value: This study focuses on the gender parity framework in local politics. It brings an understanding to the various government departments, ministries responsible for women and other stakeholders regarding the opportunities available for women to participate in local politics.

Authors: Uwaramutse C. , Towo E. N. , Machimu G. M. 
Published: January 2023

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of co-operative characteristics on the financial performance of Irish Potato Farmer Co-operatives (IPFCs) in Northern and Western Provinces, of Rwanda.
Design/Methodology/Approach - The study employed a relational research design in cross-sectional research. A purposive sampling technique was used in selecting 32 IPFCs out of 64 observations that complied with audited financial reports for the period 2018 and 2019 were the primary data used for the research. Key Informants Interviews (KIIs), and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were employed for data collection. Panel regression analysis was used as it is suitable to deal with fixed effects (FE) or random effects (RE) error components presented in the model.
Findings - The paper results showed that liquidity, leverage, the number of employees, the value of total assets and the value of share capital are significant factors that contribute to financial performance measured in terms of Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). The paper also revealed a limited financial capacity for most IPFCs in the study area, challenging their growth.
Research Limitation: Legal, political factors, technological and cultural factors influencing the performance of farmer co-operatives were not considered in this paper.
Practical Implications - The recommendations will mainly assist IPFCs in achieving desired financial performance and provision of expected services to members. IPFCs are recommended to mobilise their members to increase their shareholding, to raise capital for their co-operatives and thus improve performance levels.
Social Implication: This paper generates facts to inform stakeholders such as policymakers and non-governmental organizations.
Originality/Value - This paper took a holistic perspective to cover all the co-operative-specific characteristics in the performance evaluation.
