Abstract
Fecal contamination with a poor water, sanitation and hygiene environment in urban informal settlements poses diarrhea risks. Little information is available on the contamination of environmental media with enteric pathogens in such settlements. We investigated the contamination of Escherichia coli, rotavirus, and Cryptosporidium spp. in water, on kitchenware, and on flies in urban informal settlements of Chawama and Kanyama, Lusaka, Zambia. These environmental media were examined by XM-G agar cultivation for E. coli and specific real-time RT-PCR assays to detect rotavirus and Cryptosporidium spp. E. coli; rotavirus, and Cryptosporidium spp. were detected in samples of household stored drinking water (6 of 10 samples, 3 of 10 samples, and 2 of 10 samples, respectively), cups (10 of 20 samples, 2 of 13 samples, 1 of 13 samples, respectively), and flies (35 of 55 samples, 5 of 17 samples, 1 of 17 samples, respectively). The ranges of rotavirus concentrations in household stored drinking water, on cups, and flies were 2.9 × 102–2.2 × 105 copies/L, 1.2 × 102–4.3 × 102 copies/cup, and 5.0 × 101–2.0 × 102 copies/fly, respectively. These results indicate the contribution of drinking water and kitchenware to enteric pathogen exposure and potential role of flies in microbial transmission.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
The flow regime is regarded as the key driver of the structure and function of riverine ecosystems. This study uses an ecologically meaningful indicator (range of variability approach method) to assess the dynamic runoff process in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, whose changes negatively affect the ecosystems in the study area. In addition, the study quantitatively analyzed the contribution rate of human activities and climate change to flow change. The effects of ecological index changes on four famous major carp species (FFMC) resources in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were studied. The results show that after the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) operation, the hydrological changes of Yichang Station, Hankou Station, and Datong Station were 65, 58, and 46%, respectively. The weight of the impact of human activities on runoff is smaller the farther away from the TGD. The impact weights of human activities at the three hydrological stations in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are 73.69, 67.98, and 56.84%, respectively. The operation of the Three Gorges Project caused changes in the hydrological regime of the Yangtze River, which adversely affected the structure and quantity of FFMC populations.

Accumulated experience and advanced technologies provide an opportunity for the bank to develop new methods of competition and, therefore, to design new business-models. It is promoted by fast proliferation of digital platforms and ecosystems. The article studies different approaches to identifying business-models on whose foundations it is possible to form the concept of the digital business-model. The author points out to two principle elements of digital economy: the platform as the initial stage and the ecosystem as a more sophisticated stage. On this foundation the author, having taken A. Osterwald and I. Pinie model, develops unified digital businessmodels for the following participants: the platform owner, the ecosystem owner, the supplier in the platform/ecosystem and provides them with detailed characteristics. The article underlines that fast success of these business-models is stipulated by such things as network and ecosystem effect. Apart from this, key factors of digital ecosystem competition are shown, among them the author highlights positioning in customer’s eyes, a set of services that can meet customer’s needs, possibility to provide personalized content, convenience of using the ecosystem. The conclusion about further prospects of developing platform and ecosystem business-models is made
Opium, Street Opium, and Cancer Risk
Authors: López-Lázaro Miguel 
Published: June 2022

Abstract:
Opium is defined as the air-dried latex obtained by incision from the unripe capsules of Papaver
somniferum L. Opium is a complex mixture that contains approximately 10% morphine and 2% codeine. It is
commonly used to prepare opium tinctures for people with chronic diarrhea. Morphine and related opioids are
powerful but highly addictive analgesics; designing less addictive opioids is an active area of pharmaceutical
research that may lead to significant improvements in chronic pain management. Recently, the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified opium consumption as carcinogenic to humans (Group
1) based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in human studies. However, all human studies analyzed by
the IARC Working Group included participants who consumed opium that was mixed, adulterated, and/or contaminated
with known and probable human carcinogens (e.g., tarry residues of combusted opium, arsenic, lead,
and chromium). The working group considered that these carcinogens were part of the complex mixture that
opium is, rather than co-exposure or confounders. No evidence of carcinogenicity was available for pure opium
in human, animal, or mechanistic studies. To avoid confusion and concern among health professionals and patients
using medicinal opium preparations and in scientists involved in the design and development of new opium
derivatives, opium should be classified in Group 3 (not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans). The
term ‘street opium’ could be used to refer to opium that probably contains human carcinogens not present in
pure opium and should remain in Group 1 (carcinogenic to humans).

Published: June 2022

Introduction:
The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the Al/p-type Si metal-semiconductor (MS) and Al/GO/p-type Si metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure was investigated at room temperature (300 K).

Methods:
The main electrical characteristics such as ideality factor (n), zero-bias barrier height (bo) and series resistance (RS) of Al/p-Si and Al/GO/p-type Si semiconductor structure obtained from different methods using I−V measurements

Results:
Experimental results show that the electrical properties obtained from Al/GO/p-type Si structure are I-V measurements generally slightly greater than those obtained from Al/p-type Si structure.

Conclusion:
However, the interface state densities resistance values obtained from Al/GO/p-Si structure are generally slightly smaller than those obtained from Al/p-type Si structure. The interface states (NSS) as energy distribution functions (ESS-EV) was obtained by using I-V measurements for both Al/p-type Si and Al/GO/p-type Si structure.
Landslip Warning System in Hong Kong - Over 40 Years of Evolution
Authors: Chung Philip Wk , So Sunny Tc , Chu Edward Kh 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Hong Kong is situated on the coast of the south-eastern tip of China. A
sub-tropical climate brings this coastal city a rainy season from April to October each year. Rainfall intensities as high as 50 mm to 100 mm per hour and 250 mm to 350 mm in 24 hours are not
uncommon. With the hilly terrain and densely populated development, Hong Kong is susceptible
to land-sliding during heavy rainstorms. Concerted efforts have been made by the Geotechnical
Engineering Office (GEO) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, to operate and enhance a territory-wide Landslip Warning System continuously, as a major component
of landslide risk management tools in Hong Kong, since its establishment in 1977. Forewarning
the public of possible landslide risks due to heavy rainstorms and triggering an emergency system
within the government to deal with landslide incidents are the major objectives of the Landslip
Warning System. This paper presents the development and enhancement of the comprehensive
people-centred early warning system for landslides in Hong Kong, based on a framework of an
early warning system with four major elements, including risk knowledge, monitoring and warning services, communication and dissemination, and response capability.

Methods:
With good quality landslide, rainfall and slope databases, landslide prediction models
have been developed and continuously updated using statistical means to assess the severity of
landslides based on real-time rainfall and rainfall forecast. For the purpose of an effective and robust operation of the Landslip Warning System, the latest Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud
computing technologies have been deployed to operate the GEO Rainguage System collecting,
transmitting and processing real-time rainfall data over the territory of Hong Kong, and to enhance system redundancy and resilience for data analysis and information dissemination.

Results:
To have an effective communication and dissemination of the Landslip Warning information to the community, various public education activities have been carried out regularly to
promote public awareness of landslide risks and promote personal precautionary measures during
heavy rainstorms.

Conclusion:
Well-established procedures for the operation of the Landslip Warning System have
been developed to trigger the internal emergency mechanism within the government to deal with
the landslide danger, with the support of innovative solutions to enhance the capability and efficiency of emergency responses.
Uma Expedição ao Pantanal e os registros poéticos em científicos de Guimarães Rosa e Hilgard Sternberg Rastros, Presença, Ambiência e Paisagem
Authors: Moraes Joana Passi de 
Published: June 2022

O artigo discute metodologias científicas e artísticas, para fins literários e geográficos, adotados pelo escritor João Guimarães Rosa e pelo geógrafo Hilgard Sternberg durante uma expedição na qual ambos participaram, rumo ao Pantanal, em 1947. A expedição, que teria a finalidade de mapear a área para onde seria realocada a Capital Federal brasileira, está escassamente arquivada e a viagem pouco aparece nas biografias e cronologias do escritor e do geógrafo. Reúno neste artigo um discurso de Guimarães Rosa realizado na ocasião de sua posse na Sociedade Brasileira de Geógrafos (SBG), e a "As listas de fatos a observar nos trabalhos geográficos de campo" do professor geógrafo Hilgard Sternberg. Abordagens sobre a prática de estudo de campo, sua relação com geografia, poesia e paisagem, presentes nos documentos, serão confrontadas com ideias de ambiência, a partir da compreensão de Stimmung de Hans Ulricht Gumbrech e com a compreensão de presença de Martin Seel. Os registros decorrentes das práticas de campo, presentes em cadernos de campo e esboços, serão aproximados da ideia de palavra encarnada - uma espécie de escrita permeada de rastro, através das quais podemos vislumbr os corpos, gestos, ambiências e paisagens particulares de uma situação de deslocamento e viagem.
Movimento Editorial e Imagem da Subjetividade. Notas sobre Ensaios, de Michel de Montaigne
Authors: Miranda Igor Gonçalves , Mendonça Fernando de 
Published: June 2022

Tendo em vista tanto questões literárias quanto questões editoriais, estas notas apresentam uma reflexão sobre dois aspectos de Ensaios (1580), de Michel de Montaigne, que redimensionam o debate acerca da questão da escrita de si, são eles: a imagem da subjetividade e a atitude revisional como movimento editorial. O eixo temático guarda em seu bojo uma reflexão sobre a duração subjetiva, tempo da escrita dentro e fora do texto, que dinamiza as imagens especulares de si dando-lhes movimento, ou seja, produzindo seus fantasmas. A metodologia de abordagem identifica as figuras do espelho e do fantasma em três ensaios selecionados, mas que exemplificam o modus operandi da tessitura da obra. Estas notas lançam mão das interpretações de Starobinski (2018), Birchal (2007) e Scoralick (2016), que se dividem quanto à caracterização do texto e, entre estas, procuram seu lugar, ao observar as convergências e divergências.
The Association Between Preoperative Patient-Reported Health Status and Postoperative Survey Completion Following Arthroplasty: Registry-Based Cohort Study
Authors: Harris Ian A , Peng Yi , Ackerman Ilana , Graves Stephen E 
Published: June 2022

Background
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are commonly used to report outcomes after hip and knee arthroplasty, but response rates are rarely complete. Given that preoperative health status (as measured by PROMs) is a strong predictor of outcomes (using the same measures) and that these outcomes may influence the response rate, it is possible that postoperative response rates (the proportion of patients providing preoperative PROMs who also provide postoperative PROMs) may be influenced by preoperative health status.

Objective
This study aims to test the association between preoperative PROMs and postoperative response status following hip and knee arthroplasty.

Methods
Data from the PROMs program of the Australian national joint registry were used. The preoperative PROMs were the Oxford Hip Score or Oxford Knee Score, The EQ-5D Utility Index, and the EQ visual analog scale (VAS) for overall health. Logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, BMI, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification System, was used to test the association between each preoperative PROM and response status for the 6-month postsurgery survey.

Results
Data from 9499 and 16,539 patients undergoing elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis, respectively, were included in the analysis. Adjusting for age, sex, BMI, and ASA, there was no significant difference in response status at the postoperative follow-up based on the preoperative Oxford Hip or Knee Scores (odds ratio [OR] 1.00, 95% CI 0.99-1.01 for both; P=.70 for THA and P=.85 for TKA). Healthier patients (based on the EQ VAS scores) preoperatively were more likely to respond postoperatively, but this difference was negligible (OR 1.00, 95% CI 1.00-1.01 for THA and TKA; P=.004 for THA and P<.001 for TKA). The preoperative EQ Utility Index was not associated with the postoperative response rate for THA (OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.96-1.36; P=.13) or TKA patients (OR 1.05, 95% CI 0.91-1.22; P=.49).

Conclusions
The likelihood of responding to a postoperative PROMs survey for patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty was not associated with clinically important differences in preoperative patient-reported joint pain, function, or health-related quality of life. This suggests that the assessment of postoperative outcomes in hip and knee arthroplasty is not biased by differences in preoperative health measures between responders and nonresponders.

Socialization Of Processing Of Fishery Products In Saoka Village Maladummes District Sorong City
Authors: Sukmawati Sukmawati 
Published: June 2022

Abstract – Maladummes district, Saoka village is a coastal area located in the city of Sorong. In the area, natural resources are quite abundant such as catches of fish, squid, shellfish and so on, but they are not utilized optimally because the catch is only sold in fresh form. Whereas in addition to being sold in fresh form, it can also be processed into products so that the selling value increases. This is due to the slow access to incoming information in the surrounding area, due to the low level of education of local residents. Apart from that, people are left behind in the development of technology and important information that has been and is being developed. Such as important information regarding simple appropriate technology that can be applied to produce fishery products, this is because there have never been socialization activities for processing fishery products and other foods. The purpose of this activity is that the people of Saoka village are able to know about the processing of fishery products, so that later the community will be able to apply it in daily life, or make it a business area on a household scale. The method of implementation is by means of lectures and discussions with participants on how to make fish balls, fish nuggets, fish floss, seaweed meatballs and seaweed syrup. The result of the activities that have been carried out is that the people of Saoka village, Maladum district mes, Sorong city, West Papua, responded very well and enthusiastically. This is indicated by the increase in the value of the pre-test and post-test regarding the processing procedures for fishery products. Increased knowledge of partner communities by 41%.
