Published: February 2022

The purpose of this research is to examine the views of primary school teachers in the education process of inclusive students. The participants of the research were Şht. Mustafa Kurtuluş Primary School teachers. Our participant group of 10 consists of classroom teachers. Research data were collected by semi-structured interview technique, one of the qualitative research methods. The data obtained from the research were analyzed descriptively. As a result, considering the difficulties faced by classroom teachers in inclusion practices in primary schools, and the research findings in order to make mainstreaming education more successful, it can be suggested that all school personnel, especially classroom teachers, be conscious of mainstreaming practices and that sufficient resources and materials should be accessed for resource education. It shows that primary school teachers stated that students with special needs develop academically and socially during the inclusive education process, and that the inclusion practices that they want to be in the TRNC for students with special needs can be achieved with the participation of the families of the students with special needs and the cooperation with the guidance teacher and special education teacher. Classroom teachers support each other by exchanging ideas with other teachers the most. In inclusive education, a more successful inclusive education is considered when the difficulties experienced by classroom teachers in the support education service for students with special needs are minimized and the inclusive practices that are desired to be in the TRNC are realized.

Soil salinity is a serious threat to crop productivity which influence growth and productivity of crop plants. Salt tolerance differ species to species and variety to variety. Therefore, this research work was initiated to investigate the influence of salinity levels on growth and yield of tomato genotypes and to select suitable variety for salt affected areas. A two factor poly house experiment was conducted in completely randomized design in Khulna University, Bangladesh, during November 2019 to March 2020. Factor one was consisted of fifteen tomato varieties including eight improved varieties developed by Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) and seven cultivars collected from farmer’s field of Khulna region. Other factor was consisted of five levels of soil salinity viz. control, 4, 8, 12 and 16 dSm−1. Tomato genotypes and salinity usages both significantly dissimilar for the agro- morphogenic traits. The plant height, leaf traits and yield traits are negatively influenced by salinity level. The local variety Guli gave the highest plant height for all the treatments. Tomato var. BARI tomato-15 produced the maximum fruit weight plant-1 at control followed by 4dSm-1 and 8 dSm-1. Therefore, tomato var. BARI tomato-15 may be suitable for cultivation in the areas containing salinity up to 8 dSm-1. This may also help to further improve tomato cultivars in saline areas.

Published: February 2022

Cases of corruption that occur are increasing in Indonesia from year to year, including in local government. Various efforts have been made to prevent corruption, but there are still many cases of corruption in local governments in Central Java. The fraud triangle theory is used to find out the causes of corruption, which consist of pressure, opportunity, and rationalization. This study aims to analyze the factors causing corruption in local governments in Central Java using the fraud triangle theory which is proxied using the variables of regional financial performance, regional income, regional capital expenditures, internal audit capabilities, audit opinions, and regional personnel expenditures.
This study uses quantitative methods and purposive sampling method using secondary data. The sample in this study is the district/city level local government in Central Java Province for the 2015 – 2019 period, which has a corruption case and has been decided by a first-level court, has been audited by the BPK, has an APIP Capability assessment, and has complete LKPD. The method of data analysis in this study used SPSS with logistic regression method.
The results of this study indicate that regional financial performance, regional income, and internal audit capabilities have no effect on corruption, regional capital expenditures and regional personnel expenditures have a significant positive effect on corruption, and audit opinion has a significant negative effect on corruption.

The affected agricultural land from the rate of conversion is approximately 100,000 ha / year, while 40,000 ha / year of new agricultural land can be printed by the government. Population growth, land tenure by farmers has diminished in size. The area of â€‹â€‹land ownership in 2012, per farmer is approximately 0.22 ha. It is estimated that it will decrease by 0.18 ha in 2050. This condition makes farmers' welfare decreases due to the inefficient land for farming. The research was conducted on 28 January - 28 February 2019 in 2 locations, Jajang Hamlet and Wonokerto Hamlet which were included in Sumberejo Village, Sumberejo Village at 980 meters above sea level. Sumberejo Village is one of the villages included in the Poncokusumo District, Malang Regency. The data obtained in the form of images were obtained through direct observation at the location of the study. From the exploration carried out found 27 types of supporting plants (shade and interlude) consisting of trees and other commodity crops. In this case the problem of the Sumberejo village plantation community from the one we interviewed directly complained about the lack of knowledge about plants suitable for agroforestry and knowledge about hatcheries and buffer plants. Based on the value of the perceptions of the percentage of Wonokerto and Jajang Hamlet communities the highest score was 93% related to the mixed cropping system problem, while the lowest percentage value was found in the knowledge about 79% in Jajang Hamlet and 80% in the Wonokerto Hamlet perception.

Published: February 2022

AimA reliable kit with high sensitivity and specificity is indispensable for diagnosing hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Detection kits for anti-HCV antibodies (anti-HCV) are used for screening, and quantification kits for HCV RNA and HCV antigen (Ag) are used for the definite diagnosis of HCV infection or the evaluation of the pathological condition of and therapeutic effects in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Several kits are currently available for these purposes and are provided for clinical use in Japan. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the performance of these kits.MethodsWe used International Standards for HCV RNA and HCV Ag and a regional reference panel to evaluate the performance of thirteen anti-HCV, five HCV RNA, and two HCV Ag kits.ResultsAll specimens in the regional reference panel were diagnosed correctly by all anti-HCV kits, although the distributions of the quantified values varied, and the ratios of titer classification were not identical across kits. All HCV RNA kits quantified the International Standard with minimum deviation and diagnosed the specimens of the reference panel correctly. The quantified values of the International Standard by two HCV Ag kits were inconsistent. HCV Ag titers of some specimens were underestimated owing to the amino acid polymorphisms in comparison with HCV RNA titers.ConclusionsThe evaluation with International Standards and the regional reference panel was useful for assessing the quality of screening and diagnostic kits for HCV infection, and such quality control is essential for the clinical usage of these kits.

Published: February 2022

BackgroundPulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) often results in residual anatomical and functional changes despite microbiological cure and may be complicated by chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA). In this study, we determined the perceived health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients during and after PTB therapy and compared it with their quantitative Aspergillus-specific IgG positivity rates.MethodologyWe conducted a longitudinal study among TB patients attending two directly observed therapy short-course (DOTS) clinics in Lagos, Nigeria. Two hundred and four confirmed TB patients were recruited over 9 months, with five visits at baseline and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. They were all acid-fast bacilli smear, GeneXpert, or culture positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Two HRQoL questionnaires translated into Yoruba were self-administered. Chest X-ray and Aspergillus IgG were collected at each visit.ResultsA total of 204 participants were recruited into this study. Most (70.6%) were age 18–39 years, and only 3.9% were above 60 years; 66.7% of all participants were males. A total of 189 (92.6%) participated in the 3-month assessment, 174 (85.3%) at 6 months, 139 (68.1%) at 9 months, and 99 (48.5%) at 12 months. At baseline, only 60.9% scored “good” or “very good” QoL and health on the WHOQOL-Bref, which improved to 77% at 6 months. At baseline, 10.4% had positive Aspergillus IgG levels, 15.1% at 3 months, 11.5% at 6 months, 16.7% at 9 months, and 19.3% at 12 months. Those with a positive Aspergillus IgG at 6 months had worse physical health (p = 0.001), psychological state (p = 0.002), social relationships (p = 0.006), and environmental QoL (p = 0.001) domains of the WHOQOL-Bref. Probable CPA was 10.4% at baseline and 19.3% at 6 months post-PTB therapy. Thirty-eight (18.6%) relocated after 6 months of treatment, 16 (7.8%) were lost to follow-up, and 11 (5.4%) died.ConclusionOur findings reveal a significant relationship between the QoL and Aspergillus IgG levels of TB patients. Further follow-up studies and additional imaging are required to determine when patients develop CPA and its clinical impact.

ObjectiveTwo-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) has been used as a diagnostic tool for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, whether vessel supplied myocardial strain and strain rate (SR) predict the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients with CAD is unknown. This study aimed to investigate correlation of cardiac mechanical parameters in tissue speckle tracking measurements with coronary artery stenosis diagnosed by cardiac catheterization in patients with clinically diagnosed CAD.Methods and ResultsAmong 59 patients analyzed, 170 vessels were evaluated by coronary angiography and the corresponding echocardiography to quantify left ventricular myocardial strain and SR. The average longitudinal strain and SR of the segmental myocardium supplied by each coronary artery were calculated to achieve vessel myocardium strain (VMS) and strain rate (VMSR). The VMS and VMSR at each of four severity levels of stenosis showed significant differences among groups (p = 0.016, and p &lt; 0.001, respectively). The strain and SR in vessels with very severe stenosis (≥75%, group IV; n = 29), 13.9 ± 4.3, and 0.9 ± 0.3, respectively, were significantly smaller than those of vessels with mild stenosis ≤ 25%, group I; n = 88, 16.9 ± 4.9, p = 0.023, and 1.2 ± 0.3, p = 0.001, respectively. The SR in vessels with moderate stenosis (26–49%, group II; n = 37), 1.0 ± 0.2, was significantly smaller than that in vessels with mild stenosis vessels (p = 0.021). The lower VMS and VMSR, the higher possibility of severe coronary stenosis is. The VMS and VMSR lower than 13.9 ± 4.3 and 0.9 ± 0.3, respectively predicted the severe coronary stenosis. The VMS and VMSR higher than 16.9 ± 4.9 and 1.2 ± 0.3, respectively predicted mild or no coronary artery stenosis.ConclusionsThe actual stenosis rate in catheterization demonstrates that this technique was able to assess coronary artery condition. Thus, the application of a non-invasive method of 2D-STE to evaluate and simplify diagnosis of CAD is feasible.

New field observations and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology reveal that the Topernawi Formation of the Ekitale Basin, northern Turkana Depression, Turkana County, Kenya was deposited entirely during the Oligocene between 29.7 ± 0.5 Ma and 29.24 ± 0.08 Ma. These bracketing ages are determined via new 40Ar/39Ar geochronology on a basaltic lava flow at the base of the section and a felsic ignimbrite near the top. A newly discovered basal unit and interbedded lava flow result in a new total sedimentary thickness of 92 m. The Topernawi Formation is the oldest dated syn-rift sedimentary section in the northern Turkana Depression.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of the long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) administration before hormone replacement treatment for frozen-thawed embryo transfer in women with different times of embryo implantation failures.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was performed between January 2015 and December 2019. A total of 9263 women who underwent frozen-thawed embryo transfer were included in the study. The study is divided into three parts based on the times of embryo implantation failures. The sample sizes were 4611 for no implantation failure, 3565 for one failure and 1087 for multiple failures. Two endometrium preparation protocols, HRT and HRT with GnRH-a pretreatment (G-HRT), were compared. Confounding factors were treated by propensity score matching and generalized estimation equation.ResultsFor women with no failure of embryo implantation, the live birth rate was not statistically different when they underwent HRT and G-HRT (HRT: 42.75% [498/1165], G-HRT: 45.24% [527/1165], P=0.2261). Similar outcome also appeared in women with one failure of embryo implantation (HRT: 47.22% [535/1133], G-HRT: 50.31% [570/1131], P=0.1413). For women with multiple failures of embryo implantation, the live birth rate was significantly difference (HRT: 38.74% [117/302], G-HRT: 45.48% [357/785], P=0.0449). When stratified by age, the live birth rate is similar for women older than 37 years. Generalized estimation equation showed that GnRH agonist pretreatment was independently associated with the live birth rate for women with multiple failures (adjust OR: 1.5, 95%CI: [1.12-2.00]).ConclusionFor women with no/one failure of embryo implantation, the live birth rate is similar between HRT and G-HRT protocols. For women with multiple failure of embryo implantation, GnRH agonist pretreatment is beneficial to raise the live birth rate.

Published: February 2022

External ophthalmoplegia with rib and vertebral anomalies (EORVA) is characterized by congenital nonprogressive external ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, scoliosis, torticollis, vertebral, and rib anomalies, caused by homozygous mutations in the myogenic factor 5 gene (MYF5) located on chromosome 12q21.31. Uniparental disomy (UPD) is a rare inheritance of a pair of chromosomes originating from only one parent. This study describes a case of an 8-year-old boy with ptosis, scoliosis, and dysmorphic hypoplastic ribs with fusion anomalies. Trio-based exome sequencing (trio-ES) identified a novel homozygous mutation c.191delC (p.Ala64Valfs*33) in MYF5 in the proband, with the father being heterozygous and the mother wild-type, as verified by Sanger sequencing. UPD identified from trio-ES variant call format data suggested the possibility of paternal UPD of chromosome 12 (UPD12pat) in the proband, further confirmed to be a complete isodisomy type of UPD by genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism array. MYF5 was significantly downregulated by 69.14% (**p &lt; 0.01) in HeLa cells transfected with mutant MYF5 containing c.191delC compared to those transfected with the wild-type MYF5, resulting in a truncated protein with a size of ∼20 kDa. In conclusion, this study identified a novel homozygous mutation in MYF5, broadening the genetic spectrum of EORVA and further deepening the understanding of this rare disease.
