description: Data on the dietary preferences of species can provide important information that deepens our knowledge of their evolutionary history and contemporary ecology. The combination of low detectability and irregular feeding frequency of snakes has limited the resolution of available diet data for many of these species. A variety of methodologies exist for collecting snake feeding data, however, each of these varies in their strengths and biases. Here, we contrast characterisations of the diet of the brown house snake, Boaedon capensis, based on three common approaches to collecting feeding data: 1) examining gut contents from preserved museum specimens, 2) reviewing published literature, and 3) crowdsourcing feeding records from community science platforms. Gut contents included only mammal and reptile prey, presenting a significantly narrower diet breadth (Levins’ Ba = 0.12) than the community science (Levins’ Ba = 0.66) and literature (Levins’ Ba = 0.49) datasets, which both also included amphibian and avian prey. Interpretation of museum data alone conveys that B. capensis has a relatively specialised, mammal-dominated diet whereas the community science and literature datasets indicate a much wider dietary breadth. Our findings reiterate the importance of utilising multiple methods to assess the dietary composition of snakes to provide a more comprehensive understanding of their feeding ecology.

description: Archived specimens can provide insights on emerging infectious diseases through the tracking of the progression or occurrence of a pathogen through time. Specimen fixation and preservation may however affect detectability of pathogens, obscuring the signal of emergence. A case study is presented on determining the history of amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis – Bd) in African amphibians using fluid-preserved (such as in ethanol or formalin) specimens. The skin of 860 specimens was sampled and assayed for the pathogen using real-time PCR, yielding negative results only. A retrospective, randomised subsample of 99 DNA extracts were subjected to DNA-clean up and reagents (BSA) that reduce inhibition in the PCR. This resulted in five Bd-positive samples: one each from 1903 and 1933 in Cameroon, one from 1934 and two from 1954 in Uganda, with none from South Africa, despite the latter being renowned for Bd occurrence in the early 20th Century. Concentration of extracted DNA from museum samples was however found to be extremely low (especially following DNA clean-up) compared to samples from live specimens. Without measures to reduce inhibition of PCR and clean up the DNA, it would have been falsely inferred Bd did not infect this sample of preserved frogs, with available specimens originating from small sample sizes at time of collection. Care is needed to interpret historical prevalence and infection intensity when museum specimens are used, especially when preservation method is unknown or likely to inhibit PCR.

description: When the rotator cuff tendon tears, the balance between stability and mobility is disrupted, leading to disabilities and significantly reduced quality of life. Rotator cuff tendon tears are becoming increasingly common with almost half a million surgeries performed annually in the US. Surgical repair often yields unsatisfactory clinical outcomes due to poor healing capacity of native tissue, which often results in fibrotic scar tissue with impaired mechanical strength. Tissue engineering aims to address this issue by using biomaterials combined with stem cells to promote neo-tendon formation, aiding in the repair of healthy tendon tissue. However, current biomaterials frequently lack the necessary bioaugmentation for effective tendon repair. Synthetic scaffolds generally have low bioactivity, while biologic scaffolds often fail to provide adequate mechanical support during healing. Furthermore, tendon tears often occur at the tendon-to-bone interface, a specialized tissue with a continuous gradient from uncalcified tendon to calcified bone where the collagen fibers transition from highly aligned to randomly oriented fibers, which current biomaterials are unable to replicate. Thus, there is a critical need to improve biomaterials for tendon tissue engineering. 3D meltblowing (3DMB) is a novel high-throughput fabrication process that produces highly aligned fiber scaffolds, mimicking the collagen fiber structure of native tendon. However, to the best of our knowledge, 3DMB scaffolds have not been evaluated for this application. Therefore, the overall goal of this work is to advance tendon tissue engineering strategies and develop a biomaterial that can regenerate tendon tissue after injury. We explored 3DMB as a potential fabrication process for microfiber scaffolds in tendon tissue engineering. Then we incorporated mechanical stimulation to promote tendon matrix synthesis and to simulate in vivo responses. Finally, we aimed to stimulate development of the tendon-to-bone interface by encouraging trifunctional matrix synthesis through the combination of scaffold, tendon- and cartilage-derived matrix, and demineralized bone, providing stem cell substrates that guide differentiation into the various cell types of the native enthesis. Together, this body of work introduces translational strategies that advance the field of tendon tissue engineering and support the development of more effective treatments for tendon injuries.

description: Pickersgill’s Reed Frog (Hyperolius pickersgilli) is an endangered species, endemic to South Africa and restricted to the KwaZulu-Natal coastal region. The species occurs in fragmented patches of coastal reed-bed wetland, which is a habitat that is threatened by urbanisation, agriculture, mining, and plantation forestry. We used a 16S rRNA Next Generation Sequencing approach to characterise the bacteriome of 20 adult H. pickersgilli from three localities and determined the prevalence of anti-Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) associated bacteria by comparing representative amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) sequences to known references using The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) tool of National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Results from three different populations were found to harbour similar skin microbial communities, dominated by a core set of bacterial taxa that included Proteobacteria (39.67% of total ASVs), Actinobacteria (14.83%) and Firmicutes (11.21%). Anti-Bd associated bacterial communities were identified from all three localities (4.12–15.47% of total ASVs), that may be contributing to the reported low frequency of occurrence of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and may contribute to the lack of known morbidity or mortality from chytridiomycosis in H. pickersgilli. A higher prevalence of Chlamydiia in Mount Moreland suggests a possible alteration in the skin bacteriome composition in this population and warrants further investigation. Future studies should evaluate the relationship between the bacteriome of H. pickersgilli and the bacteria present in the environment to assess what role the environment plays in the bacteriome’s formation.

description: Anfang Dezember 2011 fand in Durban die 17. Conference of Parties der Vereinten Nationen statt. Im Zentrum der Verhandlungen standen die Bemühungen, das auslaufende Kyoto-Protokoll zu erneuern und zu erweitern. Zu Redaktionsschluss (25.11.) ist noch nicht klar, ob wider Erwarten doch noch ein irgendwie geartetes Abkommen mit einem nicht nur symbolischen Bekenntnis zur Fortsetzung international koordinierter Bemühungen um Klimaschutz zustande kommt. Die USA und China sind die großen Blockierer, aber auch Indien will sich in seiner dem Wachstum der Wirtschaft verpflichteten Politik keine klimapolitischen Fußangeln anlegen lassen. Bisher spielen in der internationalen Diskussion um den Klimawandel die verheerenden Gesundheitsfolgen noch kaum eine Rolle. Dabei stellen sie ein zusätzliches und wichtiges Argument für die Begrenzung der Erderwärmung dar.

description: Bei internationalen Klimaverhandlungen unter dem Dach der Klimarahmenkonvention (UNFCCC) und in anderen multilateralen Foren hat Indien bisher immer seinen Entwicklungsrückstand angeführt, um sich verbindlicher Reduktionsziele zu verweigern. Dabei beruft es sich auf ein wichtiges UNFCCC-Prinzip, nämlich das der Differenzierung und der historischen Verantwortung. Indien unterstreicht die Notwendigkeit zu handeln, betont aber, dass bei jeder zu ergreifenden Maßnahme der bisherige Beitrag zum Klimaproblem sowie zugleich die aktuellen Handlungsmöglichkeiten beachtet werden müssen. In beiden Punkten ist Indiens Position zum Klimawandel vertretbar, meint und begründet die indische Wissenschaftlerin Katha Kartiki.

description: Purpose To perform precision dosimetry in yttrium-90 radioembolization through CT imaging of radiopaque microspheres in a rabbit liver model and to compare extracted dose metrics to those produced from conventional PET-based dosimetry. Materials and methods A CT calibration phantom was designed containing posts with nominal microsphere concentrations of 0.5 mg/mL, 5.0 mg/mL, and 25.0 mg/mL. The mean Hounsfield unit was extracted from the post volumes to generate a calibration curve to relate Hounsfield units to microsphere concentration. A nominal bolus of 40 mg of microspheres was administered to the livers of eight rabbits, followed by PET/CT imaging. A CT-based activity distribution was calculated through the application of the calibration curve to the CT liver volume. Post-treatment dosimetry was performed through the convolution of yttrium-90 dose-voxel kernels and the PET- and CT-based cumulated activity distributions. The mean dose to the liver in PET- and CT-based dose distributions was compared through linear regression, ANOVA, and Bland–Altman analysis. Results A linear least-squares fit to the average Hounsfield unit and microsphere concentration data from the calibration phantom confirmed a strong correlation (r2 > 0.999) with a slope of 14.13 HU/mg/mL. A poor correlation was found between the mean dose derived from CT and PET (r2 = 0.374), while the ANOVA analysis revealed statistically significant differences (p < 10−12) between the MIRD-derived mean dose and the PET- and CT-derived mean dose. Bland–Altman analysis predicted an offset of 15.0 Gy between the mean dose in CT and PET. The dose within the liver was shown to be more heterogeneous in CT than in PET with an average coefficient of variation equal to 1.99 and 1.02, respectively. Conclusion The benefits of a CT-based approach to post-treatment dosimetry in yttrium-90 radioembolization include improved visualization of the dose distribution, reduced partial volume effects, a better representation of dose heterogeneity, and the mitigation of respiratory motion effects. Post-treatment CT imaging of radiopaque microspheres in yttrium-90 radioembolization provides the means to perform precision dosimetry and extract accurate dose metrics used to refine the understanding of the dose–response relationship, which could ultimately improve future patient outcomes.

description: The evolution of foam structure occurs in response to drainage processes. This thesis investigates drainage in foam at the microscale in three-dimensional models, and considers the distinct influence of the Plateau border and node elements of the network. The study focuses on the effect of particles in determining drainage rates on foam lifetime and is important to a wide and expanding use of foams in industrial processes. The economic and responsible management of resources can be advanced through innovations significant to resource retrieval and pollution control and through the creation of new materials that minimize the use of scarce resources.

description: The advent of rapid molecular techniques has revolutionized the field of diagnostic microbiology, offering enhanced accuracy, speed, and sensitivity in the detection of pathogens. Traditional culture-based methods, though still valuable, have limitations in terms of time and sensitivity, which rapid molecular diagnostics aim to overcome. Techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), real-time PCR, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) have become integral tools in identifying pathogens, determining antimicrobial resistance, and even tracking outbreaks in real-time. This review discusses key advancements in molecular diagnostics, including the use of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats)-based diagnostics. Moreover, the application of these technologies to clinically relevant pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus and drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, are highlighted. The aim of this work is to provide a comprehensive overview of the rapid molecular techniques that are transforming diagnostic microbiology, enhancing clinical decision-making, and enabling precision medicine.

description: Under the German environmental specimen bank programme bream (Abramis brama) were sampled in six German rivers and analysed for the priority hazardous substances dicofol, hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD), heptachlor þ heptachlor epoxide (HC þ HCE), polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and -furans and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCDD/Fs þ dl-PCBs), and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS). The aim was to assess compliance with the EU Water Framework Directive environmental quality standards for biota (EQSBiota) for the year 2013, and to analyse temporal trends for those substances that are of special concern. General compliance was observed for dicofol, HBCDD and HCBD whereas PBDEs exceeded the EQSBiota at all sites. For all other substances compliance in 2013 varied between locations. No assessment was possible for HC þ HCE at some sites where the analytical sensitivity was not sufficient to cover the EQSBiota. Trend analysis showed decreasing linear trends for HCB and PFOS at most sampling sites between 1995 and 2014 indicating that the emission reduction measures are effective. Mostly decreasing trends or constant levels were also observed for PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs. In contrast, increasing trends were detected for PBDEs and HBCDD which were especially pronounced at one Saar site located downstream of the industries and conurbation of Saarbrücken and V€olklingen. This finding points to new sources of emissions which should be followed in the coming years. Quelle: www.sciencedirect.com

description: Am 13. März 2025 wurde im Südtiroler Landtag der Begehrensantrag der Südtiroler Freiheit (STF) diskutiert, der im Titel einen “sofortigen Aufnahmestopp für Asylbewerber” in  der Europäischen Union forderte. Der Antrag, der mit der angeblichen Prävention von islamistisch-terroristischen Taten begründet wurde, stieß im Landtag auf heftige Kritik. Während der Antrag im Landtag abgelehnt wurde, fand er auf den digitalen Kanälen der STF große Zustimmung, was die wachsende Spaltung  zwischen politischer Realität und populistischer Inszenierung in sozialen Netzwerken zeigt. Die Debatte im Landtag zeigte, wie soziale Medien zunehmend als Plattform für Rechtspopulismus genutzt werden.

description: Face masks have become common protective measures in community and workplace environments to help reduce the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Face masks can make it difficult to hear and understand speech, particularly for people with hearing loss. An aim of our cross-sectional survey was to investigate the extent that face masks as a health and safety protective measure against SARS-CoV-2 have affected understanding speech in the day-to-day lives of adults with deafness or hearing loss, and identify possible strategies to improve communication accessibility. We analyzed closed- and open-ended survey responses of 656 adults who self-identified as D/deaf or hard of hearing. Over 80% of respondents reported difficulty with understanding others who wore face masks. The proportion of those experiencing difficulty increased with increasing hearing loss severity. Recommended practical supports to facilitate communication and social interaction included more widespread use of clear face masks to aid lip-reading; improved clarity in policy guidance on face masks; and greater public awareness and understanding about ways to more clearly communicate with adults with hearing loss while wearing face masks.

description: RESUMO

A sexualidade simboliza união de valores e práticas corporais na vida do indivíduo, tornando-a um aspecto importante na relação dos casais, por se tratar de uma necessidade fisiológica no qual envolve dimensões e fatores biopsicossociais, os mitos e tabus que se estendem por gerações acabam originando determinadas discriminações (MOTA et al., 2009). A presente pesquisa destina-se a analisar a percepção das primigestas sobre sexualidade durante gravidez. Para o desenvolvimento do seguinte estudo, foi realizada uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa e tipo de estudo exploratório descritivo, os sujeitos foram 05 (cinco) primigestas que se encontram na faixa etária de 19 a 39 anos, podendo estar em qualquer idade gestacional e que frequentem regularmente do Programa de Pré-Natal de Baixo Risco Grupo de Assistência Multiprofissional Humanizado localizado em Belém e para análise de dados utilizou-se a chamada técnica de análise de conteúdo, com um conjunto de instrumentos metodológicos, que se apresenta em constante aperfeiçoamento, que tem como definição o entendimento dos procedimentos para tratar as informações, atitudes ou temas constituídos em uma mensagem ou em um documento extremamente diversificados. O resultado da presente pesquisa poderá favorecer a qualidade do atendimento nas consultas de enfermagem no pré-natal, relacionado à sexualidade durante a gravidez, para que possamos minimizar os medos e anseios, favorecendo assim uma melhor qualidade de vida tanto para mãe como para o casal durante a gravidez.

Management Strategy For Village-Owned Enterprises
Creators: name: Andi Abdul Malik, Hamsu Abdul Gani, Rifdan Rifdan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025
Subjects: Institutional, Independent Village, Regeneration, Village-Owned Enterprises Strategy

description: Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) are Village business institutions managed by the community and Village Government and are legal entities. The existence of Village-Owned Enterprises is to strengthen the Village community's economy. This study's problem is the management of financial accountability and the implementers' attitudes, and the Village-Owned Enterprises' implementation report. It is hoped that BUMDess' existence will trigger economic growth and encourage the wheels of economic life. As a driving force for the Village community's economy, Village-Owned Enterprises' management must fight to improve their business units' quality. Support is needed from the Government, both the Village Government and the District Government, to help plan to market the products managed by the BUMDes. The research objective is to examine and explain Village-Owned Enterprises' management strategy in realizing an independent village. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative, using a case study approach (case study). The research focus is on the management of Village-Owned Enterprises. Data obtained through primary and secondary data sources. Data collection techniques through interviews, observation, questionnaires and literature. The research instrument is the researcher himself. Stages carried out data analysis; data collection, simplification of data, presentation of data and concluding. The research results on the SWOT analysis on the WT strategy (weaknesses and challenges) to formulate Village-Owned Enterprises management strategies with the Cadre-based Management Intervention Model show that the management of Village-Owned Enterprises is related to the institutional managerial of Village-Owned Enterprises. The Village Government can accelerate the development and performance improvement of Village-Owned Enterprises administrators to create an Independent Village. The research conclusion was several aspects of quality financial management: village government bureaucratic accountability and human resource capabilities. BUMDes management, namely management patterns, institutions, supporting human resources, market locus, types of business, and others that are thought to have a dominant influence on the development of the existence of BUMDes in several regional characteristics and management strategies in internal and external environmental factors.

description: Nature has evolved a range of surfaces and interfaces which shows diverse wettabilities varying from superhydrophilicity to superhydrophobicity to serve various functional needs. Inspired from nature we have developed antimicrobial surfaces using superhydrophobic materials. Antimicrobial surfaces are needed to prevent health, safety and reliability issues caused by microbial infestations. Low-cost precursor material i.e., fly ash have been used to developed superhydrophobic surfaces. To study the antimicrobial activity, the major component of fly ash i.e., Silica nanoparticles have been used and modified it with an antimicrobial agent TiO2. In addition, antibacterial and anti-adhesion property against bacteria have been studied for the coated surface.

description: „Die Geschichte eines Dorfes am Meer“, zunächst als Fortsetzungsroman in der Zeitschrift Muslim Murasu („Die muslimische Pauke“) und dann 1988 in Buchform erschienen, war mehr als nur eine weitere Erzählung über den Alltag in einem tamilischen Dorf, wie es sie Ende der 1980er bereits in größerer Zahl gab. Der Roman offenbarte seinen Lesern eine Welt, deren Existenz den meisten von ihnen bisher verborgen geblieben war. Erstmalig erreichte ein muslimischer Autor mit einem Roman über das Leben in einem muslimischen Dorf ein größeres Publikum. Thema von Meerans Prosa ist die muslimische Gesellschaft des Kanniyakumari Distrikts, insbesondere die seines eigenen Heimatortes Tengaipattinams. In den beiden folgenden Textausschnitten geht es um die zarten Bande, die sich zwischen Aisha und ihrem Cousin Farid entwickeln.

description: Moderne Dalit-Literatur entstand in den 1960er Jahren im indischen Bundesstaat Maharashtra in Marathi. Sie erwuchs aus der Dalit-Bewegung, aus dem Wunsch und Bedürfnis einer um Emanzipation ringenden Bewegung heraus, sich selbst zu artikulieren und zu Geltung zu gelangen. Im Laufe der Zeit hat das Vorbild der Marathi-Dalit-Literatur auch Autoren in anderen Sprachgebieten motiviert, so dass es heute in mehreren indischen Regionalsprachen eine Dalit-Literaturszene gibt. Populär unter den Dalit-Autoren sind vor allem Gedichte und Kurzgeschichten, die oft entweder autobiographisch geprägt sind oder Erlebnisse von Verwandten und Bekannten als Grundlage der Fiktion verwenden. Die Zahl der Romane und Autobiographien dagegen ist eher gering, doch letztere scheinen in den letzten 10 Jahren an Bedeutung zu gewinnen. Eine der interessantesten Dalit-Autobiographien in Hindi stammt von Kausalya Baisantri, die am 24. Juni 2011 hochbetagt gestorben ist.

description: Objectives Previous research reports numerous factors of post-operative mortality in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery. However, this evidence has not been mapped to the conceptual framework of care improvement. Without such mapping, interventions designed to improve care quality remain unfounded. Methods We identified reported factors of in-hospital mortality post isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery in adults over the age of 19, published in English between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2019, indexed in PubMed, CINAHL, and EMBASE. We grouped factors and their underlying mechanism for association with in-hospital mortality according to the augmented Donabedian framework for quality of care. Results We selected 52 factors reported in 83 articles and mapped them by case-mix, structure, process, and intermediary outcomes. The most reported factors were related to case-mix (characteristics of patients, their disease, and their preoperative health status) (37 articles, 27 factors). Factors related to care processes (27 articles, 12 factors) and structures (11 articles, 6 factors) were reported less frequently; most proposed mechanisms for their mortality effects. Conclusions Few papers reported on factors of in-hospital mortality related to structures and processes of care, where intervention for care quality improvement is possible. Therefore, there is limited evidence to support quality improvement efforts that will reduce variation in mortality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
