description:
Among the estimated 12,500 new HIV infections in Malawi among people aged 15-24 each year, 70 percent occur in Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW). The Ministry of Health (MoH) in Malawi rolled out an oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) prevention program targeting populations at elevated risk of HIV acquisition, including AGYW, in 2021. Since PrEP roll-out, there has been limited research exploring the factors that influence uptake of PrEP among AGYW. This study explored the barriers and facilitators to the uptake of PrEP among AGYW at elevated risk of HIV acquisition. it was an exploratory qualitative study conducted at Kawale Health Center in Lilongwe, Malawi, in February 2023, which employed a phenomenological design. Data were collected using semi-structured in-depth interviews and vignettes from purposively sampled 20 AGYW and 10 health care workers (HCWs) based on their PrEP status (on PrEP versus not on PrEP) and involvement in PrEP provision, respectively. The data were digitally recorded, managed using NVivo software and analysed using a thematic approach guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). AGYW identified perceived HIV risk and vulnerability and PrEP knowledge as facilitators. HCWs identified AGYW perceived HIV risk, HCW altitudes, and availability of youth friendly service center and resources as facilitators to PrEP uptake. Barriers identified by AGYW included PrEP side effects, limited PrEP information, lack of privacy, stigma, and lack of transportation. HCWs identified limited resources and burden of work as barriers. In conclusion, PrEP's full potential as an HIV prevention tool for AGYW requires a holistic approach that considers their particular requirements, removes systemic hurdles, and guarantees access to high-quality services. In addition, there is a need to create demand to increase the uptake of PrEP.

description: The new Japanese optical sensor ALOS/PRISM which was launched in January 2006 has stereo capabilities which can be used for a great number of applications and products. One of the most important products is the generation of Digital Surface Models (DSMs). With SAT-PP (Satellite Image Precision Processing) our group has developed a suite of new methods and a software package which can  be  used  for  the  3D  processing  of  optical  Linear  Array  CCD  –  based  satellite  sensor  systems.  The  software  was  already  used  successfully  for  the  DSM  generation  with  e.g.  IKONOS,  QuickBird  and  SPOT5  high  resolution  image  data.  Here  we  will  demonstrate the functionality of the automated image matcher for the generation of DSMs by using early ALOS/PRISM data with a ground sampling distance of 2.5 meters.  

We have tested our methods of DSM generation using the ALOS/PRISM dataset of two different testfields, which are located in theareas  of  Bern/Thun  (Switzerland)  and  Okazaki  (Japan).  They  have  different  topography  and  land  use  features  (mountainous,  city,  forest, open and mixed areas). For a detailed quality control of the DSM generation, reference data for three sub areas of the testfield Bern/Thun  were  available  and  one  sub  area  in  Okazaki.  A  detailed  analysis  is  presented  for  certain  areas  with  special  and  homogeneous  topography  or  land  use  characteristics.  The  overall  height  RMSE  for  the  three  sub-areas  was  2-3  pixels  depending  primarily  on  surface  roughness,  vegetation  and  image  texture  and  image  quality.  The  height  RMSE  values  for  the  specific  areas  ranged from less than 2 pixels (open areas) to 5 pixels in a tree-covered area.  

ALOS/PRISM  images  have  particular  radiometric  problems  which  do  not  influence  the  final  results  significantly,  but  they  can  influence the DSM generation locally. Therefore we give also an analysis of image artifacts.

description: Conservation and management issues related to genetic diversity and stock structure of native populations of Muskellunge Esox masquinongy have largely been unexplored. In Lake Huron’s North Channel and Georgian Bay, Muskellunge populations have been impacted by historical commercial fisheries, recreational fisheries, loss of spawning habitat, historical water quality issues, and ecosystem changes. To determine the spatial genetic structure of native Muskellunge in Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, spawning adults were sampled from 10 sites in the North Channel and eastern Georgian Bay. Genotyping with 20 microsatellite DNA loci showed substantial spatial genetic structure, with significant pairwise divergences among spawning sites. Individual- and population-based analyses revealed hierarchical population structuring, with strong patterns of spawning site fidelity and isolation by distance; very low levels of dispersal and gene flow over historical and contemporary timescales were indicated. Estimation of effective population sizes highlighted the limited genetic resources that are present in these localized populations. The present results show that Muskellunge in Lake Huron and Georgian Bay consist of multiple small populations with limited ranges and high site fidelity and should be managed accordingly.

description: The occurrence of fish species may be strongly influenced by a stream’s thermal regime (magnitude, frequency, variation, and timing). For instance, magnitude and frequency provide information about sublethal temperatures, variability in temperature can affect behavioral thermoregulation and bioenergetics, and timing of thermal events may cue life history events, such as spawning and migration. We explored the relationship between thermal regimes and the occurrences of native Bull Trout Salvelinus confluentus and nonnative Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis and Brown Trout Salmo trutta across 87 sites in the upper Klamath River basin, Oregon. Our objectives were to associate descriptors of the thermal regime with trout occurrence, predict the probability of Bull Trout occurrence, and estimate upper thermal tolerances of the trout species. We found that each species was associated with a different suite of thermal regime descriptors. Bull Trout were present at sites that were cooler, had fewer high-temperature events, had less variability, and took longer to warm. Brook Trout were also observed at cooler sites with fewer high-temperature events, but the sites were more variable and Brook Trout occurrence was not associated with a timing descriptor. In contrast, Brown Trout were present at sites that were warmer and reached higher temperatures faster, but they were not associated with frequency or variability descriptors. Among the descriptors considered, magnitude (specifically June degree-days) was the most important in predicting the probability of Bull Trout occurrence, and model predictions were strengthened by including Brook Trout occurrence. Last, all three trout species exhibited contrasting patterns of tolerating longer exposures to lower temperatures. Tolerance limits for Bull Trout were lower than those for Brook Trout and Brown Trout, with contrasts especially evident for thermal maxima. Our results confirm the value of exploring a suite of thermal regime descriptors for understanding the distribution and occurrence of fishes. Moreover, these descriptors and their relationships to fish should be considered with future changes in land use, water use, or climate.

description: Conversion to renewable energy sources is a logical response to the increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Ocean wave energy is the least developed renewable energy source, despite having the highest energy per unit area. While many hurdles remain in developing wave energy, assessing potential conflicts and evaluating tradeoffs with the existing uses is essential. Marine planning encompasses a broad array of activities that take place in and affect large marine ecosystems, making it an ideal tool for evaluating wave energy resource use conflicts. In this study, we used a spatially explicit, open source decision support tool to evaluate wave energy facility development off the U.S. west coast. We then used this output to identify potential conflicts between wave energy facilities and the existing marine uses in the context of marine planning. We found that regions with the highest wave energy potential were distant from major cities and that infrastructure limitations (cable landing sites) restrict integration with the existing power grids. We also identified multiple potential conflicts, including commercial fishing, shipping and transportation, and marine conservation areas. While wave energy generation facilities may be economically viable, we must also incorporate costs associated with conflicts that arise with the existing marine uses.

description: To assess indoor bioaerosols, a virtual impactor having 1 µm cutoff diameter was designed, fabricated, and evaluated with computational fluid dynamics simulation and also with laboratory test using polystyrene latex particles. Two other cutoff diameters of 635 nm and 1.5 µm were obtained by changing the inlet flow rate and the ratio of minor channel-to-inlet flow rates. In field test, the virtual impactor was operated with varying cutoff diameter and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) analysis was performed for each cutoff diameter to observe morphologies of indoor aerosol particles sampled at the major and minor outlet channels. Particles were sampled at both outlet channels using the SKC Button Aerosol sampler and subsequently cultured. By colony counting, it was found that 56% of cultured fungal particles and 63% of cultured bacterial particles had aerodynamic sizes smaller than 1 µm. MALDI-TOF analysis and visual inspection of culture samples were used to identify indoor bacterial and fungal species, respectively. Nearly same species of bacteria and fungi were detected both in the major and minor flow channels. © 2017 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: The reintroduction of anadromous salmonids in reservoirs is being proposed with increasing frequency, requiring baseline studies to evaluate feasibility and estimate the capacity of reservoir food webs to support reintroduced populations. Using three reservoirs on the north fork Lewis River as a case study, we demonstrate a method to determine juvenile salmonid smolt rearing capacities for lakes and reservoirs. To determine if the Lewis River reservoirs can support reintroduced populations of juvenile stream-type Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, we evaluated the monthly production of daphnia Daphnia spp. (the primary zooplankton consumed by resident salmonids in the system) and used bioenergetics to model the consumption demand of resident fishes in each reservoir. To estimate the surplus of Daphnia prey available for reintroduced salmonids, we assumed a maximum sustainable exploitation rate and accounted for the consumption demand of resident fishes. The number of smolts that could have been supported was estimated by dividing any surplus Daphnia production by the simulated consumption demand of an individual Chinook Salmon fry rearing in the reservoir to successful smolt size. In all three reservoirs, densities of Daphnia were highest in the epilimnion, but warm epilimnetic temperatures and the vertical distribution of planktivores suggested that access to abundant epilimnetic prey was limited. By comparing accessible prey supply and demand on a monthly basis, we were able to identify potential prey supply bottlenecks that could limit smolt production and growth. These results demonstrate that a bioenergetics approach can be a valuable method of examining constraints on lake and reservoir rearing capacity, such as thermal structure and temporal food supply. This method enables numerical estimation of rearing capacity, which is a useful metric for managers evaluating the feasibility of reintroducing Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. in lentic systems.

description:
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia. Mertk is a receptor tyrosine kinase and a member of the TAM family. It serves as an efferocytosis receptor involved in the recognition and removal of apoptotic debris by phagocytic cells, dampening the inflammatory response. Here we show that at 24h post-inoculation with S. pneumoniae, Mertk-/- mice generated through homologous recombination and backcrossed (HRB-Mertk-/- mice) have fewer bacteria present in their pneumonic lung than wild type mice. This enhanced clearance was not observed in Mertk-/- mice generated by CRISPR technology. The enhanced clearance of HRB-Mertk-/- mice was associated with fewer neutrophils and more IFNγ in the bronchoalveolar lavage, but was not prevented by a neutralizing IFNγ antibody. Mertk is highly expressed on alveolar macrophages. Transcriptomic changes observed in HRB-Mertk-/- alveolar macrophages were associated with leukocyte activation, cellular motility, and response to stimulus, suggesting that they are primed for an inflammatory response. HRB-Mertk-/- mice similarly had enhanced host defense pathways in S. pneumoniae-stimulated alveolar macrophages in vitro and in pneumonic lung tissue. However, HRB-Mertk-/- alveolar macrophages demonstrated no defect in phagocytosis and acidification in vivo, and genes and gene sets describing phagocytic pathways were not enriched, suggesting that the enhanced clearance may be through alterations in the lung microenvironment. HRB-Mertk-/- mice are reported to have a long 129P2 DNA insert (~645 genes) in chromosome 2 adjacent to Mertk, as well as other alterations at multiple sites. Thus, while Mertk deficiency may contribute to the enhanced bacterial clearance, it is not solely responsible, because the phenotype is not seen in the CRISPR-Mertk-/- mice. The 129P2 DNA insert in the HRB-Mertk-/- mice must be mediating at least some of this phenotype. Understanding the mechanistic differences and the means by which this 129P2 DNA insert enhances bacterial clearance remains critically important.

description: Cajal bodies (CBs) are distinct sub-nuclear structures that are present in eukaryotic living cells and are often associated with the nucleolus. CBs play important roles in RNA metabolism and formation of RNPs involved in transcription, splicing, ribosome biogenesis, and telomere maintenance. Besides these primary roles, CBs appear to be involved in additional functions that may not be directly related to RNA metabolism and RNP biogenesis. In this review, we assess possible roles of plant CBs in RNA regulatory pathways such as nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and RNA silencing. We also summarize recent progress and discuss new non-canonical functions of plant CBs in responses to stress and disease. It is hypothesized that CBs can regulate these responses via their interaction with poly(ADP ribose)polymerase (PARP), which is known to play an important role in various physiological processes including responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. It is suggested that CBs and their components modify PARP activities and functions.

description: Discourse analysis is considered in modern linguistics as central concepts. Discourse is a communicative, cultural, ethnic, psychological, emotional-expressive entity that embodies values and is composed in the form of unity and disunity, reflecting the speaker's communicative strategy through the relationship between speaker and listener, speech situation, and communicative-pragmatic-linguistic phenomena. In this article, the discussion and discursive personae are explored and some scholars' opinions on these terms are presented.

description: Metaphysicians aim to describe the world. When metaphysicians disagree, sometimes they disagree about what the world is like, but sometimes they merely seem to disagree about how the world should be described, given that it is the way it is. I defend a framework for thinking about metaphysics that isolates the distorting effects of language to clarify what is at stake in the central debates of metaphysics. My framework is flat in the sense that it rejects the fundamental/non-fundamental distinction, along with any structure that would privilege a certain way of carving up the world. I apply the framework to dissolve the central questions of metaphysics and defend a novel physicalist picture of reality.

description: Part 2 of this study investigates the implications of random, small-scale contaminant concentration variability in soil for reliance on discrete soil sample data to guide environmental investigations. Random variability around an individual point limits direct comparison of discrete sample data to risk-based screening levels. “False negatives” can lead to premature termination of an investigation or remedial action. Small-scale distributional heterogeneity of contaminants in soil is expressed as artificial, seemingly isolated “hot spots” and “cold spots” in isoconcentration maps. Surgical removal of hot spots can lead to erroneous conclusions regarding the magnitude of remaining contamination. The field precision of an individual discrete sample data set for estimation of means for a contaminant in a risk assessment is not directly testable. Omission of “outlier” data in order to force data to fit a geostatistical model distorts estimates of mean concentrations and introduces error into a risk assessment. The potential for such errors was pointed out in early USEPA guidance but largely ignored or misunderstood. Decision Unit and Multi Increment sample investigation methods, long known to the agricultural and mining industries, were specifically developed to overcome these inherent shortcomings of discrete sampling methods and provide more reliable and defensible data for environmental investigations.

This paper examines the concept of education, causes of terrorism in Nigeria; analysis of the role of education in curbing terrorism in Nigeria, li was gathered that education is a powerful instrument of unity and peace restoration, and plays a vital role in promoting-pational security. Therefore, there is need to invest heavily in education by strengthening vocational and technical education an well as moral education and civic education as fundamental basis for inculcating values of tolerance and dialogue in the future generation, and disregarding corruption and education politicization

description: Report on a project aimed at investigating the history of Staveley Hall, Derbyshire. The project consisted of presentations and visits to eleven local schools, a community archaeological excavation, and a search of published material and private archives, as well as the recording and restoration of the south wall of the Hall by removal of old render and replacement with lime mortar render. Seven evaluation trenches were excavated. Medieval activity on the site, possibly dating as far back as the eleventh century, was indicated by a number of ditch and gully features including a substantial rock-cut ditch. Bloomery ironworking and smithing was taking place on or close to the site during the medieval period. The remains of the seventeenth-century hall were encountered east and south of the surviving building, with substantial stone footings surviving in places and foundation trenches elsewhere. Significant terracing and levelling of the site had taken place in advance of construction. Later activity, involving further landscaping of the site during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, was identified through a series of made ground deposits rich in industrial residues. Separately authored contributions include

The metals displayed valuesin the reactive phase between : n.d-7,90; 0,00-4,90; 133,95-961 ,79 and 0,05-9,61 IJg /g for Cu,Pb, Mn and Zn, respectively; being observedin most of the core an increase in the superiorlayers caused by diagenetics processes,changes in the textural composition (containedof clay or organic matter) due to the anthropicscontributions that the lagoon receives. The Mnpresented in core 1, 2 and 3 the smaller concentrationsto the surface, which suggests analteration of the natural geochemical cycles thattends to a diminution of the manganese contributionsthrough tlíe time. In the Zn, its verticaldistribution reflects a strong relation between themetal, the organic matter and texture in relationto the depth, which is of sandy and poor texturein organic matter, with a contained minor of th ismetal. The concentrations average of metals total are were: 36,31; 7,57; 445,60 and 64.07IJg/g for Cu, Pb, Mn and Zn respectively. Theseresults are analogous to the reported ones forsediments no contaminated; nevertheless, somemetals in the reactive phase, showed to slightincreases towards the surface, indicating recentcontamination, product of the intervention thathas undergone this lagoon in the last decadesand to the contributions of the Unare river.

description: Purpose: To identify autoantigens in autoimmune retinopathy patients by phage immunoprecipitation sequencing (PhIP-Seq), a new technique for autoantigen discovery. Methods: PhIP-Seq was used to sequence putative autoantibodies in plasma from 11 patients with autoimmune retinopathy and eight controls. We compared the autoantibodies’ molecular weights with those of proteins detected by Western blot. Results: Several autoantigens were found in cases and not detected in the controls. Autoantigens RTN3, PRPF6, TRPC6, and B3GNT8, four proteins expressed in the retina, were detected in plasma as autoantibodies from one patient each and no controls. Only one patient had an autoantibody, B3GNT8 (43.4 kDa), within a similar weight range as that detected by antiretinal antibody Western blot (42 kDa). Autoantibody POLR3A, which has a well-characterized role in scleroderma, was detected in two cases and no controls. Conclusion: PhIP-Seq detected autoantigens that are expressed in the retina as well as scleroderma-related autoantigens in autoimmune retinopathy patients.

description: We present a new measure of everyday memory, the Questionnaire of Memory (Q-MEM), which is specifically adapted for the ecological assessment of memory disorders in school-age children and constructed with four sections tapping effortful/intentional learning, automatic/procedural learning, prospective memory/organization, and working memory. Confirmatory Factor Analyses supported the Q-MEM’s four-factor structure in 700 five-to twelve-year-old children. The analyses also revealed a good internal reliability and a good test-retest fidelity. Finally, comparisons between Q-MEM profiles of children with learning disabilities and typically developing children revealed significant differences. Therefore, the Q-MEM is a promising measure for identifying memory problems in children.

description: To evaluate the water quality along the continental shoresof Venezuela, where fishing communities exploit the clam Tivela mactroides, the concentration of heavy metals (Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn, Cd, Ni, Pb y Cr) was determined in superficial sediments, together with environmental factors (temperature, salinity, dissolved O2, pH, phytoplanctonic biomass, seston, and total N and P) of the litoral waters of Playa Güiria on the northeastern coast (Sucre State), and of Río Chico and Boca de Paparo (Miranda State), two localities on the central coast separated by some 5km and influenced by the Tuy River. In Río Chico, and mainly in Boca de Paparo, the concentration of heavy metals in the sediments (>18μg·g-1 Cu, >3μg·g-1 Cd, >5μg·g-1 Cr, >0.9μg·g-1 Pb, >11μg·g-1 Ni) and the environmental factors (>28ºC,<5.6ml·l-1 dissolved O2, >55μmol·l-1 total N, >17μmol·l-1 total P) indicated the presence of polluted systems. This environmental damage was linked to the influence of the Tuy River, which flows into the sea at Boca de Paparo. The values for heavy metals were higher than the values reported 14 year ago. In Playa Güiria the values determinated did not show environmental contamination (0.03μg·g-1 Cu; 0.5μg·g Cd and no Cr, Pb or Ni were detected). Shore cleanup at Boca de Paparo and Río Chico is recommended, as these locations have dangerous sanitary and environmental conditions. Environmental conditions at Playa Güiria allow for Tivela mactroides fishing.
