description: Zika virus (ZIKV) infection has become a significant global health issue, prompting a need for detailed investigation into host immune responses and potential treatments. Macrophages are vital in the initial defense against viral infections, and recent studies have shown that Vitamin D can enhance macrophage-mediated antiviral responses. Understanding the regulatory networks involved in this process is crucial for developing effective strategies against ZIKV. In this study, we explore the molecular mechanisms by which Vitamin D modulates immune responses during ZIKV infection in macrophages, focusing on the roles of non-coding RNAs (microRNAs and lncRNAs) and mRNA expression profiles, along with their competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks. Using RNA-seq and miRNA-seq datasets, we analyzed the genetic profiles of Vitamin D-treated macrophages 24 hours after ZIKV infection. Our findings revealed significant changes in 65 lncRNAs and 23 miRNAs. We identified 13 cis-acting lncRNAs that influence the transcription of 15 mRNAs and 18 miRNAs that regulate the expression of 180 mRNAs. Some notable lncRNAs, such as HSD11B1-AS1, Lnc-FOSL2, SPIRE-AS1, and PCAT7, were associated with the upregulation of key genes like G0S2, FOSL2, PRELID3A, and FBP1, which play roles in inflammation control and pathogen response. Additionally, we observed downregulation of miRNAs let-7a and miR-494, and upregulation of miR-146a, miR-708, and miR-378, all of which are known to influence immune responses in viral infections. Our study identified four key processes related to the antiviral response in macrophages that are regulated by miRNAs: metabolism, cell migration, stress response, and post-translational modifications. Furthermore, our investigation into ceRNA interactions revealed that SOX2-OT sponges miR-542, affecting genes related to cell growth, metabolism, and immune response, while SLC9A3-AS1 sponges miR-876-5p, impacting genes involved in metabolism, stress response, and viral infection. This research enhances our understanding of how Vitamin D improves host immune responses against ZIKV by identifying specific lncRNAs, miRNAs, and their ceRNA networks, providing new insights for potential therapeutic strategies against ZIKV and similar viral infections.

description: The structure of the banking industry and financing is a key aspect of a country's financial system. It organizes the structure of the banking and spending industry. In the organization of banks, units, branches and subsidiaries are the main parts of its organizational structure. If we look at broader levels, financial industry is part of the services and equipment sector of insurance, investments and other financial companies. These financial and banking industries include services such as deposits, investments and insurance. In a world where technology has all aspects of our lives, it is no wonder that banking has adapted the characteristics of the operation of products in banking items. Digital banking is a term used to describe the transformation of the financial sector using digital technology3. It refers to banking activities carried out through online platforms or mobile applications. This process offers digitization of all traditional banking products, processes and activities for customers of customers through online channels. Digital banking has revolutionized finance. One of the main elements of the transformation is the provision of online banking services and mobile applications. These platforms have become the main tools for managing their finances by marking a change in the situation in institutions which provide these services.

Dipsadoboa underwoodi Rasmussen, 1993: 169. Type locality: “Mukonjefarm, Mundame (04º35´N, 09º31´E), Cameroon ”.
Distribution. It extends from Guinea to Republic of the Congo, south to Gabon. There are no previous published records for Equatorial Guinea (Map 19B).
Comments. The specimen MNCN 22554 recorded as Dipsadoboa sp. by Pérez del Val (2001) is herein confidently identified as D. underwoodi. It represents the first record of this species for Equatorial Guinea (at Elobey Island). Rasmussen (1993) described and provided a detailed account of this species. The specimen MNCN 22554 lacks a great portion of the tail and has 193 ventrals and single subcaudals.
Specimens examined. One specimen. Island of Elobey, 1885 (MNCN 22554).

Dipsadoboa unicolor viridiventris Laurent, 1956a: 206. Type locality; “ Lubero, Kivu, Zaire ”.
Distribution. It extends from Guinea-Bissau to Uganda. In Equatorial Guinea it has been recorded in Bioko (Günther 1896; Boulenger 1896; Rasmussen 1993) at Musola (Boulenger 1906) and in Río Muni at Benito River (Boulenger, 1900) and Monte Alén National Park (Lasso et al. 2002) (Map 19C).
Comments. See account of Dipsadoboa viridis for the identity of Bocage’s (1895a) record from Bioko. Mertens (1964) highlighted some difficulties on the identification of D. viridis and D. unicolor, which were later examined by Rasmussen (1993). Branch et al. (2019) revealed that specimens morphologically identified as D. unicolor from Cameroon and Uganda do not form a monophyletic group, being a specimen of D. unicolor from Cameroon more closely related to D. underwoodi than to a specimen identified as D. unicolor from Uganda. Thus, it is likely that this taxon includes more species. Boulenger (1905) identified D. unicolor among the species collected in Cabo San Juan by M. Martínez de la Escalera. However, after the revision of these specimens of Dipsadoboa housed in the MNCN, we reidentified them as D. viridis based on several morphological traits (see the account of D. viridis for morphological details).
Specimens examined. No specimens were found in the examined collections.

Dipsadoboa viridis (Peters, 1869): Rasmussen, 1993: 174.
Distribution. This species extends from Guinea to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and the Republic of the Congo. In Equatorial Guinea it has been recorded in Bioko (see Rasmussen 1993) at Basilé (Bocage 1895 a, 1903) and Musola (Boulenger 1906; Mertens 1941, 1964; Capocaccia 1961a), and in Río Muni at Cabo San Juan (Boulenger 1905; as D. unicolor), San Benito (=Río Benito) (Rasmussen 1993), and in Monte Mitra at Monte Alén National Park (Gonwouo & Nsang 2005) (Map 20A).
Comments. Due to its morphological similarity at first sight with D. unicolor, we provide some diagnostic traits of the examined specimens. In comparison to D. unicolor, in D. viridis the diameter of the eye is equal to or greater than the distance between eye and nostril, the frontal plate longer than broad, and there are 193–238 ventrals and 71–112 subcaudals. All the examined specimens are within the limits of variation of these diagnostic traits (Table 1). In contrast, D. unicolor has the diameter of the eye less than the distance between eye and nostril, 181–220 ventrals and 52–78 subcaudals. The specimens recorded by Bocage (1895a) from Bioko (ssp. D. v. assimilis Matschie, 1893, a current synonym of D. viridis) were re-examined and confirmed as D. viridis by Rasmussen (1993), who also verified the presence of D. unicolor in Bioko and provided a detailed account of D. viridis.
Specimens examined. Six specimens. Río Muni: likely Cabo San Juan as part of the material examined by Boulenger (1905) (MNCN 23817, MNCN 50527); Miboman (road to Bata, Km 29), 15 November 1986 (EBD 20830); San Joaquín de Ndyiacom (Ayamiken), 01 August 1987 (EBD 25029, EBD 25059); San Joaquín de Ndyiacom, 1990 (EBD 31499).

Philothamnus carinatus

description: Philothamnus carinatus (Anderson, 1901)
Figure 18C
Chlorophis carinatus Andersson, 1901: 9. Type locality: “Mapanja, Cameroon ” and “ Cameroon ”. Restricted to Mapanja by Mertens (1964).
Philothamnus nigrofasciatus Buchholz & Peters, 1875: 199. Type locality: “Cameruns”.
Philothamnus heterodermus carinatus Andersson, 1901: Loveridge 1951: 6.
Distribution. This species is widespread from West Africa (Guinea Konakry) to East Africa (Kenya) and southward to southern Democratic Republic of the Congo. In Equatorial Guinea it has been recorded in Bioko at Bococo (Mertens 1941; Loveridge 1958), Moka (Mertens 1964a) and Bahía de San Carlos (Boulenger 1906; Capocaccia 1961a), and in Río Muni at Monte Alén National Park (Lasso et al. 2002), including Monte Mitra (Gonwouo & Nsang 2005) (Map 21B).
Comments. All the specimens examined by us have 13 scale rows at mid-body. This species was treated by some authors as a subspecies of P. heterodermus (Loveridge 1958). However, it has been suggested that P. carinatus could represent a species complex (Engelbrecht et al. 2019). It is formed by at least two main clades, one ranging across Gabon-western Republic of the Congo and the other occurring at the eastern of Democratic Republic of the Congo (Engelbrecht et al. 2019). The Philothamnus carinatus species complex is sister to P. heterodermus (Engelbrecht et al. 2019).
The specimen recorded from Bahía de San Carlos, Bioko, by Boulenger (1906) was subsequently cited by Loveridge (1958) as P. heterodermus heterodermus and re-identified by Capocaccia (1961a) as P. heterodermus carinatus. Based on the number of scale rows at mid-body (13 scale rows), we follow Capocaccia (1961a) and Mertens (1964) in considering this specimen as P. carinatus.
Specimens examined. Eleven specimens. Río Muni: Miboman, 1985–1986 (EBD 20927–20930); Miboman (30 km from Niefang), 25 February 1987 (EBD 25018, EBD 25020–25021); Miboman (road to Niefang), 28 July 1987 (EBD 27548); Miboman, 06 September 1986 (EBD 20792); Ayamiken, 01 August 1986 (EBD 25019, EBD 25022).

description: Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die kurz- und langfristigen Effekte auf die Versorgung von Neugeborenen, nachdem eine nahezu vollständige Schulung des daran beteiligten Teams ein Simulationstraining absolvierte. Hierzu wurden einerseits prä- und postinterventionell aufgezeichnete Videos hinsichtlich verschiedener Faktoren analysiert. Weiterhin wurden neonatale Morbiditäts- und Mortalitätsparameter gemessen, indem die Geburtenprotokolle in einem fixen Zeitraum vor und nach der Intervention analysiert wurden.
Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass das durchgeführte neonatale Simulationstraining insbesondere auf die Teamleistung einen signifikanten, positiven Effekt hatte. Die Teilnehmer verbesserten sich in ihrer Zusammenarbeit als Team, optimierten ihre Kommunikation und lernten, besser Prioritäten zu setzten und mögliche Komplikationen zu antizipieren und zu lösen.
Auch in Bezug auf die Selbsteinschätzung zeigte sich bei den Teilnehmern ein positiver Zusammenhang mit dem Simulationstraining. Dies ist insbesondere wichtig, da eine realistische Selbsteinschätzung erstens zu einer besseren Zusammenarbeit im Team führt und zweitens zu einer Verbesserung der eigenen Leistung durch gezieltes Training eigener Schwachstellen und Einsetzen eigener Stärken führen kann.
Die Daten deuten darauf hin, dass besonders Assistenzärzte mit fortgeschrittener Berufserfahrung von einem solchen Simulationstraining profitieren können. Hieraus ergibt sich eine Zielgruppe, die es in Zukunft gilt, im Rahmen solcher Trainings bevorzugt zu fördern.
Bezüglich der langfristigen Veränderungen in der Erstversorgung der Neugeborenen lässt sich kein statistisch signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen den erhobenen Veränderungen und dem absolvierten Simulationstraining beweisen. Es gibt jedoch Hinweise, dass die zuvor auffällig häufig durchgeführte Maßnahme Absaugen im Verlauf rückläufig war, ebenso wie eine verkürzte Dauer des stationären Aufenthaltes festgestellt wurde. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine der ersten Studien überhaupt, die Hinweise für einen Effekt eines Simulationstrainings auf die Therapieerfolge zeigen konnten. Dieser Effekt mag auf den ersten Blick gering erscheinen, was vor allem auf die geringe Fallzahl notwendig gewordener Interventionen zurückzuführen ist, die die Beurteilbarkeit hier deutlich einschränkt. Es ergeben sich aus dieser Studie jedoch eindeutige Hinweise für die Effektivität von Simulationstrainings, die es im Rahmen Studien mit größeren Fallzahlen zu bestätigen gilt. Insbesondere im Bereich der langfristigen Veränderungen werden weitere Follow-Up Studien empfohlen.

description: We present a method for manufacturing 3D-printed strain gauges by means of fused filament fabrication that are suitable for experimental stress analysis applications. The 3D-printed strain gauge (SG) is based on a multilayer structure, which is similar to the design of conventional metal foil SGs. This involves printing a meander-shaped measuring grid layer consisting of a conductive compound filament on a layer of non-conductive PLA that serves as a substrate. In order to evaluate the strain sensing behavior of the 3D-printed SG, it is bonded onto a steel plate by means of a cold curing superglue that undergoes a bending load of 30 N. Here, a finite element analysis is conducted for determining a proper position that ensures a high strain while not exceeding the yield strength. Our results show a reproducible behavior of the change in resistance of the 3D-printed SG in response to the bending load. Despite an existing creep that is based on the polymer properties of the filament, a linear behavior of the change in resistance linearity error of ±4 % is present. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the 3D-printed SG is four times higher than that of conventional metal foil strain gauges. Thus, these results confirm that the 3D-printed SG is a cost-effective alternative for strain sensing applications.

description: Philothamnus girardi Bocage, 1893
Figure 19A
Philothamnus girardi Bocage, 1893a: 46. Type locality: “Anno Bom Island, Guinea ”. Annobon, Equatorial Guinea.
Distribution. Endemic to Annobon (Bocage, 1893 a,b; Loveridge 1958; Jesus et al. 2009) (Map 21C).
Comments. Philothamnus girardi could probably be a junior synonym of P. dorsalis (Bocage, 1866a) (Engelbrecht et al. 2019). However, as previously reported (Loveridge 1958), all the specimens from Annobon examined by us have 13 scale rows at mid-body, instead of the 15 rows shown by P. dorsalis (Chippaux & Jackson 2019). Philothamnus girardi has been treated by some authors as a subspecies of P. semivariegatus (Mertens 1934; Loveridge 1958), although this last taxon does not form a monophyletic unit and is not closely related to P. girardi (see Engelbrecht et al. 2019). Philothamnus thomensis from São Tomé Island is the sister species to the clade formed by P. girardi and P. dorsalis (Engelbrecht et al. 2019).
Specimens examined. Fourteen specimens. Equatorial Guinea (without specific locality), November 1987 (EBD 27758). Annobon: Annobon, 1959 [MNCN 15834, MNCN 23167 (2 specimens)], 22 November 1987 (EBD 27762); San Antonio, Annobon, 19 November, 1987 (EBD 27766, EBD 27757); Annobon airport, 25 November 1987 (EBD 27769–27772); San Pedro, Annobon, 11 November 1987 (EBD 27759); San Juan, Annobon (EBD 27760–27761).

Distribution. This species extends from West Africa (Guinea Bissau) to East Africa (Tanzania) and southward to northern Angola. In Equatorial Guinea it has been recorded in Río Muni at Bata (Pérez del Val 2001) and Monte Alén National Park (Lasso et at. 2002) (Map 22A).
Comments. All the specimens examined by us present 15 scale rows at mid-body. Philothamnus heterodermus is sister to the P. carinatus species complex (Engelbrecht et al. 2019). An asymmetric pattern in the fragmentation of head temporal scales has been detected for some specimens, such as in MNCN 22864. See the account of P. carinatus for comments on the record of Boulenger (1906) from Bahía de San Carlos, Bioko.

Philothamnus nitidus loveridgei Laurent, 1960: 40. Type locality: Itula, Shabunda, Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Distribution. This species extends from Sierra Leone and Guinea to Congo, and southward to Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola. In Equatorial Guinea it has been recorded in Bioko at San Carlos de Luba [as P. semivariegatus (Bocage 1895 a, 1903; Loveridge 1958)] and in Río Muni at Monte Alén National Park (Lasso et al. 2002). Loveridge (1958) suggested that Bocage’s (1895a) record of P. semivariegatus probably belongs to P. s. nitidus (currently P. nitidus) (Map 22B).
Comments. Previous reports on P. semivariegatus in Bioko are herein treated as P. nitidus following Loveridge’s (1958) assumption on the identity of the Biokoan population [“ Fernando Po: San Carlos (Bocage, 1895a: more probably s. nitidus)” fide Loveridge (1958): 119]. Philothamnus nitidus is the sister taxon to P. angolensis, and both are nested within the paraphyletic assemblage of P. semivariegatus (Engelbrecht et al. 2019).
Specimens examined. Ten specimens.

Distribution. This species ranges across tropical forests from West Africa (Guinea Bissau) to East Africa at southern Sudan and Uganda, and south to Angola. In Equatorial Guinea it has been recorded in the islands of Bioko (Günther 1863a; Bocage 1895 a, 1903) at Bahía de San Carlos (Boulenger 1906; Loveridge 1944; Capocaccia 1961a) and Elobey (Pérez del Val 2001), and in Río Muni at Bata (Pérez del Val 2001), Cabo San Juan (Boulenger 1905; Pérez del Val 2001) and Monte Alén National Park (Lasso et al. 2002) (Map 22C).
Comments. We provide the first record of this species for the Island of Corisco. The specimens MNCN 23257 and MNCN 23259 contained two and six eggs respectively (labelled as follows: MNCN 23260 for the two eggs of the female MNCN 23257, and MNCN 23258 for the six eggs of the female MNCN 23259). The eggs are elongated in shape; both MNCN 23260 are around 5,1 x 1,5 cm, whereas the six eggs (MNCN 23260) are around 4 x 1,8 cm. There is a record from iNaturalist at Riaba, Bioko (03°21′19.00″N, 08°42′54.06″E).
