description: Diarrhogenic Escherichia coli (DEC) is the second most important cause for mortality and morbidity among children. Among the DEC, enteropathogenic E.coli(EPEC) has become the major cause for diarrhea in children less than five years of age. Serotyping helps in determining the pathotype but is cumbersome, expensive and has lot of cross reactions. In this regard, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a reliable and rapid tool for its identification than serotyping.

Aim: This study was conducted to detect Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli(EPEC) using PCR from stool samples of children less than 5 years with diarrhea.

Discussion: EPEC is an important causative agent of infant diarrhea in developing countries. In this study we found that EPEC was the most important cause of diarrhea among children which outnumbered rotavirus. Among the other pathogens detected Y.enterocolitica was more common than Shigella and Salmonella. This could be due to the use of the PCR in case of Yersinia. PCR based detection would increase the yield of the enteropathogens in diarrhea patients and with a reduced turnaround time compared to that of culture. Among the EPEC, atypical EPEC was more common than the typical EPEC. Atypical EPEC has been recently documented in a few studies to be more commonly associated with paediatric diarrhea than the typical EPEC. Usually the atypical strains possess eaeA gene rather than bfpA gene, contrarily, we noted that 4 strains had only eaeA while 14 had only bfpA.

description: The inaugural Pacific Ecological Security Conference (PESC) was held in October 2022, bringing together over 100 island leaders, policy-makers, natural resource managers and global and regional invasive species experts to prioritise the critical issue of invasive species in the Pacific Islands Region. Participants confirmed that invasive species are a major threat to building and maintaining climate resilience and adaptability of Pacific Island ecosystems, as well as food security, biodiversity, sustainable livelihoods and the protection of cultural resources and way of life. Three region-wide strategic action plans were developed to guide interventions focused on the topics of invasive ants, coconut rhinoceros beetle and the use of biological control as a pest and weed management tool. These plans were the major outcome of the PESC and, when implemented, will result in coordinated activities that take a “whole-of-Pacific” approach to invasive species biosecurity and management. Here, we briefly describe the background, planning and engagement process for the three plans, summarise any country- and territory-level data obtained through the process and detail what is planned to occur over the next few years. In addition to the adoption and implementation of the strategies as a result of this inaugural PESC, we anticipate that the PESC will become the premier regional conference aimed at reducing the entry and impacts of invasive species to improve sustainability of environments and peoples of the Pacific.

description: This study used finite element analysis (FEA) to model the effects of adhesive Z-connections on the thickness swelling of laminated wood composites exposed to water. We hypothesized that the area density, diameter, and spatial distribution of adhesive Z-connections will influence the ability of Z-connections to restrain thickness swelling of the composites. We tested this hypothesis by modelling a wood composite in ANSYS FEA software v. 17.0 to explore the effect of moisture on the thickness swelling of the wood composite. The results were compared with those obtained experimentally. We then examined the effect of the area density, size (diam.), and spatial distribution of the adhesive Z-connections on the thickness swelling of wood composites. Our results showed a positive correlation between the number of adhesive Z-connections in the composites and restriction of thickness swelling following 72 h of simulated moisture diffusion. Similarly, increasing the size of adhesive Z-connections also restricted thickness swelling. In contrast, different spatial distributions of Z-connections had little effect on restraining thickness swelling. Our modelling approach opens up opportunities for more complex designs of adhesive Z-connections, and also to examine the effect of wood properties, such as permeability, density, and hygroscopic swelling ratios on the thickness swelling of laminated wood composites.

description: The observance of hand hygiene compliance is important to reduce cross-infection by micro-organisms. The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate the level of hand hygiene in healthcare workers from different departments, with particular emphasis on transient flora. The study was conducted in three departments (Surgery, Intensive Care Unit, Obstetrics and
Gynecology) of a hospital in Campania, southern Italy. Over a six-month period, 50 healthcareworkers wererandomly tested.
Imprints of palms and fingertips were taken monthly during the morning shift. The number of colonies per plate was counted and transient pathogens were identified. Risk factors for hand contamination were determined. Total flora was found in the following CFU means per palm and per five fingertips (95% CI):
Obstetrics and Gynecology [palms 130 CFUs (95% CI 85-180); fingertips 125 CFUs (95% CI 92-160)]; ICU [palms 80 CFUs (95% CI 58-99); fingertips 62 CFUs (95% CI 45-82)]; Surgery [palms 75 CFUs (95% CI 41-120); fingertips 70 CFUs (95% CI 52-90)] Transient flora was found on 39% of healthcare workers?hands. The only factor associated with hand contamination by transient flora was the absence of gloving during healthcare procedure(P=0.02).

description: This study aimed to compare the fatigue resistance of files made from different heat treatment methods and surface treatment. Four prototype files were created through heat treatment and titanium coating surface treatment (AT, DT, ER, EN; named arbitrarily by the manufacturer) at different times and temperatures. Artificial canals with curvatures of 45- and 90-degree were used for the fatigue testing. The files were operated at the speed of 500 rpm at 37 °C, and the time until fracture incurred by a 4-mm dynamic pecking motion at a speed of 8 mm/s was measured, and the number of cycles to failure (NCF) was calculated by applying rotation speed and time. The length of the fractured fragment was measured. The fractured specimens were observed under the SEM to compare the characteristics of fatigue fracture patterns. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis was performed to estimate the phase transformation temperature. One-way ANOVA with Duncan’s post-hoc comparison, the Kruskal–Wallis test, and Mann–Whitney U were applied to compare the fatigue resistance among the prototypes at a significance level of 95%. Regardless of the canal angle, the EN showed the highest fatigue resistance (p < 0.05). AT had the lowest NCF at the 90-degree canal (p < 0.05). ER had a higher NCF than the DT at 45 degrees (p < 0.05), but there was no difference at 90 degrees. DSC analysis revealed that the ER and EN groups exhibited two austenite peaks above 40 °C. In conclusion, the file that underwent a specific temperature heat treatment with titanium coating surface treatment showed the highest fatigue resistance.

ventilation

description: Extensive experimental studies, measurement data, numerical calculations, and practical experience show that window ventilation supported by exhaust fans (i.e. mechanical extract ventilation) is a simple and highly effective measure to increase air quality in classrooms. This approach can be used against the aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (Helleis et al. 2021a; Lelieveld et al. 2020; Morawska et al. 2021). Mechanical extract ventilation (MEV) is very well suited not only for combating the COVID19 pandemic but also for sustainably ventilating schools in an energy-saving, resource-efficient, and climate-friendly manner (Helleis et al. 2021a, 2021b; Klimach and Helleis 2021) (www.ventilationmainz.de). The ventilation concept presented here is part of a multi-layered risk reduction strategy. As such it is not intended to replace, but rather to complement, other preventive public health measures - including vaccinations, masks and social distancing (Bodenschatz 2021; Cheng et al. 2021; Drewnick et al. 2021; Moriske et al. 2021; Pöschl and Witt 2021). After the Covid-19 pandemic, MEV can still be used to maintain high levels of indoor air quality (IAQ) in classrooms, especially in poorly ventilated spaces, lowering the risks from harmful indoor pollutants (McLeod et al. 2021) as well as helping to reduce the spread of seasonal viruses such as colds and flu. 2 Distributed extract ducts or hoods can be flexibly reused, removed and stored, or combined with other devices (e.g. CO2 sensors), which is easy due to the modular concept and low- cost materials.

description: Restoring current ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. Ex P. and C. Laws)-dominated forests (also known as “dry forests”) to spatially resilient stand structures requires an adequate understanding of the overstory spatial variation of forests least impacted by Euro-American settlers (also known as “reference conditions”) and how much contemporary forests (2016) deviate from reference conditions. Because of increased tree density, dry forests are more spatially homogeneous in contemporary conditions compared to reference conditions, forests minimally impacted by Euro-American settlers. Little information is available that can be used by managers to accurately depict the spatial variation of reference conditions and the differences between reference and contemporary conditions. Especially, forest managers need this information as they are continuously designing management treatments to promote contemporary dry forest resiliency against fire, disease, and insects. To fill this knowledge gap, our study utilized field inventory data from reference conditions (1934) along with light detection and ranging and ground-truthing data from contemporary conditions (2016) associated with various research units of Blacks Mountain Experimental Forest, California, USA. Our results showed that in reference conditions, above-ground biomass—a component of overstory stand structure—was more spatially heterogeneous compared to contemporary forests. Based on semivariogram analyses, the 1934 conditions exhibited spatial variation at a spatial scale < 50 m and showed spatial autocorrelation at shorter ranges (150–200 m) compared to those observed in contemporary conditions (>250 m). In contemporary conditions, prescribed burn with high structural diversity treatment enhanced spatial heterogeneity as indicated by a greater number of peaks in the correlograms compared to the low structural diversity treatment. High structural diversity treatment units exhibited small patches of above-ground biomass at shorter ranges (~120 to 440 m) compared to the low structural diversity treatment units (~165 to 599 m). Understanding how spatial variation in contemporary conditions deviates from reference conditions and identifying specific management treatments that can be used to restore spatial variation observed in reference conditions will help managers to promote spatial variation in stand structure that has been resilient to wildfire, insects, and disease.

description: Introduction.The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children is rapidly increasing in many countries. For that it has been interesting to investigate the eating habits of 8-9 y-old Tuscany children by paying attention to their meals frequency per day and their food choices in total and in relation to children?s
Body Mass Index (BMI) classes. In addition we considered some environment factors that could affect the children eating behaviours, such as mother?s BMI and their education level.
Methods. A statistical sample of 3,076 (1,583 males, 1,493 females), 8-9 year-old school-children was collected; weight and height were measured using standardized personnel and instruments. BMI classes were calculated using Cole et al.?s cutoff for children and adolescents. In order to evaluate the consumption frequency of individual meals and various foods, a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used, which was completed by the children themselves at school. A self-administered questionnaire revealed the weight and height of parents and their educational levels. Three educational levels were established: high, medium and low.
Results. The results showed that 92.3% of children ate breakfast from 4-7 times a week, the vast majority at home, while only 3% declared consuming breakfast never or almost never. The most preferred breakfast consisted of milk and biscuits for all children?s BMI classes. 95.9% of children reported having mid-morning snack at school; fruit juice and tea are the most frequently consumed liquid foods, and pizza, salami sandwiches and pre-packaged snacks are the most frequently consumed solid foods in all BMI classes. 93.6% ate afternoon snack for the most part at home, even if 12% of children reported consuming it elsewhere; fruit juice and tea with pizza, sandwiches and pre-packaged snacks are still the most highly consumed foods by all children?s BMI classes. The consumption frequency of breakfast (P  inf. 0.001), mid-morning (P  inf. 0.05) and afternoon snack (P  inf. 0.05) of 8-9 y-old Tuscany children decrease with increase the children?s BMI classes. The same tendency may be noted for the consumption frequency of breakfast in relation to mother?s BMI (P  inf. 0.05) and their education level (P  inf. 0.05). This data strengthens the thesis that some home environments can affect the children?s eating behaviours.
Conclusion. No substantial differences in food choices at the meals analyzed were determined among normal weight, over weight and obese children. Children of normal weight had a greater tendency to consume meals more regularly. Mother?s BMI and their education level can have influence on children?eating behaviours.

Subjects: Kredit Usaha Rakyat, micro, small and medium enterprises, financial management, debt burden, consumption behavior, consistency

description: This study aimed to examine the impact of the Kredit Usaha Rakyat (KUR) government credit program on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the Greater Jakarta Area. A sample of 701 MSME owners was surveyed to analyze the impact of KUR on financial discipline, debt management, investment, and consumption behavior of households. The study found that KUR increased the households' financial discipline in terms of separating personal and business bank accounts, but it did not improve their ability to expand their businesses or change their consumption behavior from consumptive to productive. Additionally, KUR, when combined with credit from other sources, increased the outstanding debt of households owning MSMEs and indirectly increased household consumption. The study suggests that the psychological and sociological aspects of business owners' consistency in running a business and expanding market reach are also important. The findings of this study hold significant implications for policymakers in developing MSMEs where focus should not only be on financing. Developing MSMEs in Indonesia requires a novel scheme that focuses not only on financing but also considers the psychological and social aspects of the MSME owners in developing the started enterprise.

description: The quality control of thermally modified wood and identifying heat treatment intensity using nondestructive testing methods are critical tasks. This study used near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and machine learning modeling to classify thermally modified wood. NIR spectra were collected from the surfaces of untreated and thermally treated (at 170 °C, 212 °C, and 230 °C) western hemlock samples. An explainable machine learning approach was practiced using a TreeNet gradient boosting machine. No dimensionality reduction was performed to better explain the feature ranking results obtained from the model and provide insight into the critical wavelengths contributing to the performance of classification models. NIR spectra in the ranges of 1100–2500 nm, 1400–2500 nm, and 1700–2500 nm were fed into the TreeNet model, which resulted in classification accuracy values (test data) of 94.35%, 89.29%, and 84.52%, respectively. Feature ranking analysis revealed that when using the range of 1100–2500 nm, the changes in wood color resulted in the highest variation in NIR reflectance amongst treatments. As a result, associated features were given higher importance by TreeNet. Limiting the wavelength range increased the significance of features related to water or wood chemistry; however, these predictive models were not as accurate as the one benefiting from the impact of wood color change on the NIR spectra. The developed framework could be applied to different applications in which NIR spectra are used for wood characterization and quality control to provide improved insights into selected NIR wavelengths when developing a machine learning model.

description: Sequence-based approaches to prokaryotic systematics and typing represent a modern and promising strategy in epidemiology and environmental microbiology. GenEnv, a database-driven system for bacterial typing, was developed in order to provide user friendly tools for supporting biomolecular analysis of bacteria. The family Vibrionaceae represents a heterogeneous
taxon of aquatic microrganisms, harbouring a plethora of genomes currently analyzed by different molecular techniques.
Under the query ?Vibrio?, GenEnv retrieved 256 organisms, included in a total number of 19 families. Overall, 548 sequences, comprising 16S rRNA(n = 402), rpoB (n = 1), gyrB (n = 145) were available. In addition, GenEnv system allowed
primer design, homology analysis and restriction maps, for immediate applications to the study of Vibrionaceae.

description: The air in hospital wards with patients at high risk (Surgeries, Intensive Care Units and Bone Marrow Transplant Centers) has been surveyed less than the one in Operating Rooms. Therefore in this study we considered useful to verify the microbic contamination of the air of those wards evaluating the consistency of ventilation systems in relation also to the presence and location of HEPA absolute filters. Seven departments of Genoese San Martino Hospital at high risk of infection were taken into account. In there, environmental investigations have been performed by air samplings and by analyzing bacterial and fungal growth on plates after an incubation period. Almost 60% of all samples taken in wards yielded a positive result and the average values of bacterial and aspergillar charges measured at air flow emission openings decisively exceed the ones considered standard in operating rooms. Still, the average values of airborne bacterial charges were significantly higher in those wards equipped with central filters (p  inf. 0.001), while as far as the aspergillar charge is concerned, no statistically relevant differences were noticed. In wards with ventilation system, the bacterial charge value raises from the emission grids to the middle of the room and to the aspiration grids, while the ward not equipped with a ventilation system presents in the middle of the room an average bacterial charge 2 to 10 times higher than the one in other wards. The average values regarding bacterial and aspergillar charges resulted quite high in all the departments surveyed. Nevertheless, if we take into account ventilation systems equipped with absolute filters HEPA located centrally or peripherally, it can be outlined that the air quality from the point of view of both microbic and aspergillar contamination turns out to be decisively better in systems with peripheral filters.
Moreover, a compared analysis of the three Hematology wards allows us to infer that the presence of artificial ventilation systems can lower the bacterial and fungal compared with a ward with natural ventilation.

description: A study on hepatitis B and C virus seroprevalence was carried out on blood samples from 327 municipal solid waste workers in Messina (Italy) to verify the hypothesis that this category of workers is at high risk for such diseases. The fact that 32.41% of all the subjects showed previous exposure to hepatitis B virus (HBV) substantiates the need to proceed with compulsory HBV vaccine prophylaxis in this category of workers, also in anticipation of possible medical legal litigations.

Hierüber liegen derzeit weder national noch international fundierte Erkenntnisse vor. Das Umweltbundesamt hat daher mit akustischen Untersuchungen von Drohnen begonnen. Es wurden unterschiedliche Flugmanöver verschiedener Drohnenmodelle akustisch vermessen sowie die horizontale und vertikale Richtcharakteristik ermittelt. Darüber hinaus wurden binaurale Messungen durchgeführt, die psychoakustische Erkenntnisse liefern sollen. Quelle: https://www.laermbekaempfung.de
description: Summary Drones are used for a variety of purposes. The steadily increasing number of drones raises the question of the noise effects of these aircrafts. Neither nationally nor internationally well-founded knowledge is available. The Federal Environment Agency has therefore started with acoustic investigations of drones. For example Overflights were measured with different drone models and the horizontal and vertical directional characteristics were determined. In addition, binaural measurements were performed to provide psychoacoustic findings. Quelle: https://www.laermbekaempfung.de

description: Background: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is increasing worldwide. Clinical guidelines consider metabolic syndrome as an all or none medical condition. One proposed method for classifying metabolic syndrome is latent class analysis (LCA). One approach to causal inference in LCA is using propensity score (PS) methods. The aim of this study was to investigate the causal effect of smoking on latent hazard classes of metabolic syndrome using the method of latent class causal analysis. Methods: In this study, we used data from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Cohort Study (TLGS). 4857 participants aged over 20 years with complete information on exposure (smoking) and confounders in the third phase (2005–2008) were included. Metabolic syndrome was evaluated as outcome and latent variable in LCA in the data of the fifth phase (2014–2015). The step-by-step procedure for conducting causal inference in LCA included: (1) PS estimation and evaluation of overlap, (2) calculation of inverse probability-of-treatment weighting (IPTW), (3) PS matching, (4) evaluating balance of confounding variables between exposure groups, and (5) conducting LCA using the weighted or matched data set. Results: Based on the results of IPTW which compared the low, medium and high risk classes of metabolic syndrome (compared to a class without metabolic syndrome), no association was found between smoking and the metabolic syndrome latent classes. PS matching which compared low and moderate risk classes compared to class without metabolic syndrome, showed that smoking increases the probability of being in the low-risk class of metabolic syndrome (OR: 2.19; 95% CI: 1.32, 3.63). In the unadjusted analysis, smoking increased the chances of being in the low-risk (OR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.01, 2.08) and moderate-risk (OR: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.18, 2.40) classes of metabolic syndrome compared to the class without metabolic syndrome. Conclusions: Based on the results, the causal effect of smoking on latent hazard classes of metabolic syndrome can be different based on the type of PS method. In adjusted analysis, no relationship was observed between smoking and moderate-risk and high-risk classes of metabolic syndrome.
