Background: Epidemiology of infectious keratitis varies with geographical location. The aim of the study was to review the etiology of infectious keratitis in community that will help in management strategy.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at tertiary care hospital from November 2017 to December 2020. Corneal scrapings and corneal button were processed as per microbiological standards. Bacterial identification and antimicrobial sensitivity testing was done by automated Vitek-2 compact system. Significant fungal growth was confirmed by its colony morphology, pigment production and lacto phenol cotton blue (LPCB) mount examination.Results: Of total 130 patients, culture positivity was 63 (48%), of these 59 (53%) were from corneal scrapping and 4 (21%) from corneal button. The most common bacterial isolates were Streptococcus pneumoniae 12 (38%), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 6 (19%) and Staphylococcus aureus 4 (12%). The most common fungi isolated was Fusarium spp 14 (47%) followed by Aspergillus spp 9 (30%). One specimen showed Acanthamoba spp in wet mount preparation. Major associated factors were injury with vegetative matter 30 (48%) followed by contact lens use 12 (19%) and diabetes mellitus 11 (17%). Antibiotic susceptibility tests showed that all gram-positive cocci were susceptible to vancomycin (100%) and fluoroquinolones (100%) followed by third generation cephalosporins (80%). Whereas all gram-negative bacilli were susceptible to aminoglycosides (100%) followed by fluoroquinolones (90%). Conclusions: Epidemiology of infectious keratitis vary with geographical location. Understanding local microbiological profile assist in empirical therapy when diagnostic facilities are not readily available.

Household food security poses as a great challenge in most households especially in Africa. The ability to have sufficient food available at all times is deemed as a luxury. With the emergence of the Corona Virus disease commonly known as Covid-19, many countries have suffered economic recessions due to border closures, lockdowns, loss of human resource, diversion of funds hence leading to people losing their jobs, businesses going down and loss of family heads due to the virus. Therefore, this led to household food insecurity in most households and low-income generation. The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of Covid-19 on household food security and income generation in Francis Mukuka, Mufulira District, Copperbelt Province. The specific objectives were to find out how Covid-19 has affected household food security, to examine the impact of Covid-19 on household income and to investigate measures put in place in order to cope with Covid-19. A case study research method that included a structured interview guide was used to collect data online from a sample of 26 respondents. The respondents were made up of those in employment and business owners, the married as well as those who are single. The study findings show that most households had challenges in feeding the family all the three meals required per day and they experienced inability to have all the desired food. They also revealed that people generated low income hence most of the respondents had to diversify into farming, doing part time business and looking for extra jobs. It was also found that, during the Covid-19 restriction measures, prices for goods had gone up, people were failing to purchase most things for their basic needs and those who could afford were buying in bulk because of restriction of movements. After the lifting up of Covid-19 measures, prices for goods have dropped. In view of the findings, the following recommendations were made.

Published: June 2022

Many Islamic heritages are not well maintained. This condition also occurs in the Ki Ageng Majasto cemetery, an Islamic heritage site near Surakarta City, Central Java. The function of the area has changed, from the education area in the early time into the Worship Tomb in the present. Therefore, it is important to investigate to find out: (1) Why there was a shift in the function of the area (from an educational area to a worship tomb); (2) what factors influenced it; and (3) What the impact on the regional constellation is. The systematic steps of the grounded research approach are used in this research. After the analysis carried out, it was discovered that the shifting function from the Education area to the Worship Tomb in Majasto Village occurred: (1) when KAM, which functions as the Islamic guardian, has died; (2) The influence of political factors are dominated in the past (The Pajang I King) although the present governments are Sukoharjo Regency and Majasto Village Government; (3) The changing of function has its implications for the development of the functions of area and agglomerations as well as regional constellations. This finding provides direction on the importance of documenting historical information in determining regional/urban planning policies.

Published: June 2022

In fact, ERP system has become required for many organizations particularly those organizations that have foundations in different countries. Recently, some organizations in Yemen have adopted ERP system but the usage of this system failed as it faced user resistance. Hence, the prime concern of this study is to investigate the resistance factors of Enterprise Resource planning from user perspective not organization or technical perspective to specify the basic reasons for user resistance to successfully adopting ERP system. Four factors are examined their association with adopting ERP. These factors are user training, resistance to change, user expectation, and system usage. A questionnaire was distributed to 200 of ERP end users. Linear regression analysis program was used to analyze the data and examine the relationship between user’s resistance factors and ERP adoption. The result shows that each of user’s training, resistance to change and system usage has a significant relationship with ERP adoption, However results show no relationship between user expectation and ERP adoption. This paper benefits management in organizations by providing the factors that contribute to adopt ERP system.
Keywords: ERP adoption, User resistance, User’s training, Resistance to change, System usage.

Objectives. To create causal loop diagrams that characterize intersectional stigma experiences among Black, gay, bisexual, same gender–loving, and other men who have sex with men and to identify intervention targets to reduce stigma and increase testing and prevention access. Methods. Between January and July 2020, we conducted focus groups and in-depth interviews with 80 expert informants in New York City, which were transcribed, coded, and analyzed. These qualitative insights were developed iteratively, visualized, and validated in a causal loop diagram (CLD) using Vensim software. Results. The CLD revealed 3 key feedback loops—medical mistrust and HIV transmission, serosorting and marginalization of Black and gay individuals, and family support and internalized homophobia—that contribute to intersectional HIV and related stigmas, homophobia, and systemic racism. On the basis of these results, we designed 2 novel intervention components to integrate into an existing community-level anti-HIV stigma and homophobia intervention. Conclusions. HIV stigma, systemic racism, and homophobia work via feedback loops to reduce access to and uptake of HIV testing, prevention, and treatment. Public Health Implications. The CLD method yielded unique insights into reciprocal feedback structures that, if broken, could interrupt stigmatization and discrimination cycles that impede testing and prevention uptake.
