Year: 2019

description: Background: Antimicrobial resistance has recently been identified as one of the three most important problems facing human health by the World Health Organization. Gram negative bacteria are major producers of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase and carbapenemase enzymes which made them multidrug resistant. Objective: This study aimed to determine magnitude of multidrug resistant fermentative and non-fermentative gram-negative bacilli isolated from clinical specimens at Arsho Advanced Medical Laboratory, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1 to March 30, 2019. A total of 873 different clinical samples were collected and inoculated to MacConkey agar, Blood Agar and Chocolate agar. Species identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing and extended spectrum beta-lactamase screening was performed using VITEK®2 automation. Extended spectrum beta-lactamase production was confirmed with combined disc method. Carbapenem resistance was performed on Muller Hinton agar and carbapenemase producers were confirmed by modified carbapenem inactivation method as per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guideline. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 23. Results: From 873 various clinical samples processed, 175 gram negative bacteria were isolated of which 88% (154/175) were fermenters and 12% (21/175) were non-fermenters. Majority of the isolates were from urine (56%) followed by wound (21.7%) specimen. The predominant isolates were Escherichia coli, 58.3% (102/175) from fermenters and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 5.1% (9/175) from non-fermenters. Highest resistance level was seen in ampicillin (86%) and cefalotin (73.2%), and lowest resistance against meropenem (9.8%) and tobramycin (18.9%). Overall Multidrug resistance was 80.5%, extended spectrum beta-lactamase production was 28% and carbapenemase production was 5.4%. Conclusion: Prevalence of multidrug resistance in gram negative bacteria was high. Meropenem (91.8%) was the most active antibiotic against extended spectrum beta-lactamase producers while gentamicin (55.6%) for carbapenemase producers.

description: In recent years there have been excellent results in Visual-Inertial Odometry techniques, which aim to compute the incremental motion of the sensor with high accuracy and robustness. However these approaches lack the capability to close loops, and trajectory estimation accumulates drift even if the sensor is continually revisiting the same place. In this work we present a novel tightly-coupled Visual-Inertial Simultaneous Localization and Mapping system that is able to close loops and reuse its map to achieve zero-drift localization in already mapped areas. While our approach can be applied to any camera configuration, we address here the most general problem of a monocular camera, with its well-known scale ambiguity. We also propose a novel IMU initialization method, which computes the scale, the gravity direction, the velocity, and gyroscope and accelerometer biases, in a few seconds with high accuracy. We test our system in the 11 sequences of a recent micro-aerial vehicle public dataset achieving a typical scale factor error of 1% and centimeter precision. We compare to the state-of-the-art in visual-inertial odometry in sequences with revisiting, proving the better accuracy of our method due to map reuse and no drift accumulation.

description: The viscosity of neat ionic liquids is very important for their application in organic synthesis as a solvent because most of the neat ionic liquids are very viscous, which would result in the less efficient mass transfer of reactants. In the present study, a series of novel dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines were prepared using a low viscous and acid-functionalized ionic liquid. Our results showed that new ionic liquid can act as a green solvent and acid catalyst due to low viscosity and acid functionality. The products were simply extracted and the ionic liquid was retrieved several times without reducing its catalytic efficiency. The current application of TMDPS in the one-pot multicomponent reactions as dual solvent-catalyst highlights the importance of low viscous acid-functionalized ionic liquids in organic synthesis, and we hope that further research will be conducted in the future to finding other applications of TMDPS with promising results.

description: Context. The temperate Earth-mass planet Proxima b is the closest exoplanet to Earth and represents what may be our best ever opportunity to search for life outside the Solar System. Aims. We aim at directly detecting Proxima b and characterizing its atmosphere by spatially resolving the planet and obtaining high-resolution reflected-light spectra. Methods. We propose to develop a coupling interface between the SPHERE high-contrast imager and the new ESPRESSO spectrograph, both installed at ESO VLT. The angular separation of 37 mas between Proxima b and its host star requires the use of visible wavelengths to spatially resolve the planet on a 8.2-m telescope. At an estimated planet-to-star contrast of ~10^-7 in reflected light, Proxima b is extremely challenging to detect with SPHERE alone. However, the combination of a ~10^3-10^4 contrast enhancement from SPHERE to the high spectral resolution of ESPRESSO can reveal the planetary spectral features and disentangle them from the stellar ones. Results. We find that significant but realistic upgrades to SPHERE and ESPRESSO would enable a 5-sigma detection of the planet and yield a measurement of its true mass and albedo in 20-40 nights of telescope time, assuming an Earth-like atmospheric composition. Moreover, it will be possible to probe the O2 bands at 627, 686 and 760 nm, the water vapour band at 717 nm, and the methane band at 715 nm. In particular, a 3.6-sigma detection of O2 could be made in about 60 nights of telescope time. Those would need to be spread over 3 years considering optimal observability conditions for the planet. Conclusions. The very existence of Proxima b and the SPHERE-ESPRESSO synergy represent a unique opportunity to detect biosignatures on an exoplanet in the near future. It is also a crucial pathfinder experiment for the development of Extremely Large Telescopes and their instruments (abridged).

Comparison of Manual Platelet Estimates and Automated Platelet Count at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Bisrat, Elias
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Background: The accuracy of automated platelet counts can be compromised when measuring severely thrombocytopenic samples. This is especially of concern because current clinical guidelines lowered the prophylactic platelet transfusion threshold to 10 × 109/L for patients without additional risk factors. This count is a threshold for background count of many hematological analyzers, thus making validation of the automated platelet count a crucial step. Objective: To compare manual platelet estimates and automated platelet count by Sysmex KX 21N at Tikur Anbessa Hospital (TASH). Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital from January to March 2017 on 320 blood samples. Platelet count was enumerated by sysmex KX 21 and by manual method. Number of platelets/1000 RBC in PBS was multiplied by automated RBC count in 106/uL to get an estimate of platelet count in 103/uL and the average number of platelet/10 oil emersion field (OIF) was multiplied by 20,000. The data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20 and interpreted accordingly. Statistical significance was determined at 95% confidence interval. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine correlation between the methods. Bland Altman plot was used to assess agreement between tests. Figures and tables were used for the description of the data. Result: For normal platelet count the Paired t-test showed non-significant difference between automated and PLT estimated from average platelets/10 OIF (p>0.05), were positively correlated (r=0.994) and in the limit of agreement range (95%). For severe thrombocytopenic samples the two platelet estimation methods did not show significant difference when tested by paired t-test (p>0.05), were positively correlated (r=0.869) and in the limit of agreement range (97.5%). Conclusions: The mean PLT count by automated and PLT estimated from PLT:RBC ratio for normal count did not show significant difference so the two methods could give the same PLT count result. The mean PLT count for severe thrombocytopenic patient samples did not show significant difference when analyzed by the two manual platelet estimation methods.

description: The adoption of software development technologies is very closely related to the topic of user support. This is especially true in early phases, when the users are not familiar with the modification or the build processes of the software that has to be developed nor with the technology used for software development. This work introduces an approach to improve the usability of software development technologies represented by the Combinatory Logic Synthesizer (CL)S Framework. (CL)S is based on a type inhabitation algorithm for the combinatory logic with intersection types and aims to automatically create software components from a domain-specified repository. The framework yields a complete enumeration of all inhabitants. The inhabitation results are computed in the form of tree grammars. Unfortunately, the underlying type system allows limited application of domain-specific knowledge. To compensate for this limit, this work provides a framework for debugging intersection type specifications and filtering inhabitation results using domain-specific constraints as main aspects. The aim of the debugger is to make potentially incomplete or erroneous input specifications and decisions of the inhabitation algorithm understandable for those who are not experts in the field of type theory. The combination of tree grammars and graph theory forms the foundation of a clear representation of the computed results that informs users about the search process of the algorithm. The graphical representations are based on hypergraphs that illustrate the inhabitation in a step-wise fashion. Within the scope of this work, three filtering algorithms were implemented and investigated. The filtering algorithm integrated into the framework for user support and used for the restriction of inhabitation results is practically feasible and represents a clear improvement compared to existing approaches. It is based on modifying the tree grammars resulting from the (CL)S Framework. Additionally, the usability of the (CL)S Framework is supported by eight perspectives included in a web-based integrated development environment (IDE) that provides detailed graphical and textual information about the synthesis.

description: We study Coulomb interacting electrons confined in polygonal quantum rings. We focus on the interplay of localization at the polygon corners and Coulomb repulsion. Remarkably, the Coulomb repulsion allows the formation of in-gap states, i.e. corner-localized states of electron pairs or clusters shifted to energies that were forbidden for uncoupled electrons, but below the energies of side-localized states. We also specify conditions allowing optical excitation of those states.

description: Radio interferometers achieve the highest resolutions at the cost of sparse data coverage. Incompletely sampled sky distributions in Fourier space result in noise artifacts in the source reconstructions. Established cleaning software is often time-consuming and lacks reproducibility. In this work, I propose a novel cleaning strategy for radio interferometer data based on convolutional neural networks to adjust current analysis strategies to the new telescope standards. This deep learning-based approach will allow a straightforward application that generates reproducible results with short reconstruction times. The newly developed simulation chain enables the simulation of Gaussian radio galaxies and mimics observations by radio interferometers. By iterative adjustments, complexity is increased, ending up with a simulated data set comparable to MOJAVE archive data. In parallel, the deep learning framework radionets, capable of uncertainty estimates, is built to analyze large data samples with comparable characteristics. The improved reconstruction technique will allow scientists to focus more on their scientific analysis and omit a vast workload on data cleaning tasks. Various evaluation techniques are created to quantify the trained deep learning models' reconstruction quality. Furthermore, the reconstruction performance is assessed on input data with different noise levels by comparing the resulting predictions with the simulated source distributions. Source orientations and sizes are well reproduced, while the recovered intensities show substantial scatter, albeit not worse than existing methods without fine-tuning. Finally, all improvements are combined to train a deep learning model suitable to evaluate MOJAVE observations.

description: In classical prime number theory several asymptotic relations are considered to be "equivalent" to the prime number theorem. In the setting of Beurling generalized numbers, this may no longer be the case. Under additional hypotheses on the generalized integer counting function, one can however still deduce various equivalences between the Beurling analogues of the classical PNT relations. We establish some of the equivalences under weaker conditions than were known so far.

Prevalence of soil transmitted helminthiasis and intestinal schistosomiasis and associated riskfactors among primary school children in guder and ambo town west showa zone/ethiopoia
Creators: name: Tafese, Mesganu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Background: Soil transmitted helminthes (STHs) and intestinal Schistosomiasis are among the most common cause of human infections and neglected tropical diseases which are distributed throughout the world and cause thousands of avoidable outpatient morbidity and mortality, especially in school-age children. They are also the leading cause of gastrointestinal pain, malnutrition, malabsorption, anemia, mental retardation and other diseases. The prevalence and associated risk factors among primary school children was lacking in the study area. Objective: The aim of this study was therefore to determine the prevalence of soil transmitted helminthiasis and intestinal schistosomiasis and associated risk factors among primary school children in Guder and Ambo town. Materials and Methods: Institution based cross-sectional study was carried out from April 2018 to May 2018 among primary school children in Guder and Ambo town. A total of 320 primary school students were selected by simple random sampling technique. The prevalence of STH and intestinal Schistosomiasis was determined by formol-ether concentration technique. Assessment of Socio demographic characteristics of students and associated risk factors was also conducted by well-developed questionnaire. Data analysis was done by using the SPSS version 16 software. Result: Out of 320 study subjects 57 students (18%) had one or more soil transmitted helminthes and 15 students (4.68%) had Schistosoma mansoni infection. From soil transmitted helminths, A.lumbricoides was the predominant isolate (13%) followed by T. trichiura (3.7%) and hookworms (2.2%). Conclusion: In this study large Family size, not nail trimming and unavailability of improved latrine were identified as predisposing factor for soil transmitted helminthes infections. All school children enrolled and not enrolled in this study should be treated according to WHO guideline to control the transmission of these parasitic diseases. Access to improved latrine could also help for reduction of soil transmitted helminthes and intestinal schistosomiasis prevalence below the percentage found in this study

Year: 2018

description: Background: Microscopic examination of Wright's stained blood film by skilled professionals has remained the standard laboratory method for assessment of peripheral blood cells morphology. However, assessment of blood cells morphology with this method is problematic since interpretation of result need considerable experts. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the performance of laboratory professionals on manual assessment of Peripheral blood cells morphology (MAPBCM) and associated factors in government hospital laboratories of Addis Ababa. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from April 1 to May15, 2018. A total of 202 medical laboratory professionals were participated with a response rate of 90.6%. Self-administered questionnaires and observational checklist were employed to assess factors and routine activity. Ten panel slides, eight from cases with hematological abnormality, one from healthy person and one RBC inclusion (malaria) were used to evaluate laboratory professionals' performance in MAPBCM. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version20 and p-value <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: More than half of participants (56.9%) were male and the mean age of the participants was 30 (SD=5.1) years. All participants had never taken training, 158(78.2%) of them had sometimes done smear review for flagged automated result. Among13 hospitals 11(84.6%) had daily microscope preventive maintenance. Of the participants, 31 (15.3%), 32(15.8%), 23(11.4%) correctly reported all red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC) and platelets morphology panel slides individually. performance of professionals in assessment of WBC (p=0.028), and platelet (p=0.005) had statistical significant association with experience in hematology laboratory. The overall agreement between reference and participants reading was 55%, 52%, 41%, 35% for RBC, WBC, platelet and malaria detection, respectively. Conclusion: Overall low agreements were found between reference reading and participants reading in MAPBCM. Performance level of laboratory professionals on assessment of WBC morphology and platelets estimation was related to experience in hematology laboratory. Thus, more practical focused training with supervision is recommended.

description: N, N’-dimethyl formamide (DMF) mediated Vilsmeier–Haack (VH) adducts with 1,3,5-triazine compunds such as trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) and trichlorotriazine (TCTA) were prepared by replacing classical oxy chlorides POCl3, and SOCl2, which were explored as efficient catalysts for the transesterification of β-ketoesters. The prepared (TCCA/DMF) and (TCTA/DMF) adducts improved greenery of the classical Vilsmeier–Haack reagents (POCl3/DMF), and (SOCl2/DMF), and demonstrated their better efficient catalytic ativity. Reaction times were in the range: 3.5 to 6.5 hr (SOCl2/DMF); 2.8–5.2 hr (POCl3/DMF); 2.5–5.2 hr (TCCA/DMF) and 2.5–5.0 hr (TCTA/DMF) catalytic systems. Ultrasonically (US) assisted protocols with these reagents further reduced the reaction times (two to three times), while microwave assisted (MW) protocols with these reagents were much more effective. The reactions could be completed in only few seconds (less than a minute) in MWassisted protocols as compared to US assited reactions, followed by good product yields.

description: Centaurs are minor planets orbiting between Jupiter and Neptune that have or had crossing orbits with one or more giant planets. Recent observations and reinterpretation of previous observations have revealed the existence of ring systems around 10199 Chariklo and 2060 Chiron. However, the origin of the ring systems around such a minor planet is still an open question. Here, we propose that the tidal disruption of a differentiated object that experiences a close encounter with a giant planet could naturally form diverse ring-satellite systems around the Centaurs. During the close encounter, the icy mantle of the passing object is preferentially ripped off by the planet's tidal force and the debris is distributed mostly within the Roche limit of the largest remnant body. Assuming the existence of $20-50$wt% silicate core below the icy mantle, a disk of particles is formed when the objects pass within $0.4-0.8$ of the planet's Roche limit with the relative velocity at infinity $3-6$km s$^{-1}$ and 8h initial spin period of the body. The resultant ring mass is $0.1-10$% of the central object's mass. Such particle disks are expected to spread radially, and materials spreading beyond the Roche limit would accrete into satellite(s). Our numerical results suggest that ring formation would be a natural outcome of such extreme close encounters and Centaurs can naturally have such ring systems because they cross the orbits of the giant planets.

description: Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a public health problem worldwide. It is highly endemic in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Even though there was an introduction of universal infants HBV immunization in 2007,distribution of HBV remains a public health problem in Ethiopia. Objective: To determine the sero-prevalence of HBsAg among pregnant women and to identify potential risk factors associated with the infection. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from April-May, 2015 among pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic (ANC) of Hawassa University Teaching and Referral Hospital. After obtaining written and informed consent, blood sample was collected from 269 pregnant women using consecutive non- duplicative sampling method. Serum was separated from whole blood and tested for HBsAg using Bioline strip test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method for further testing. Data was collected using pre-structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Chi-square and bivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between explanatory variables and the outcome variables. The result was considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. Result: In this study, 269 pregnant women were participated. The mean age was 26.0 years (standard deviation (SD), 4.5; range, 16 –39 years) and the majority of study participants live in urban 226(84%). The overall prevalence of sero-positive HBsAg among pregnant women was 21(7.8%). The HBV/HIV co-infection rate was 2/14(14.2%). Of the studied risk factors only educational status [(χ2= 8.1; p- value=0.044)] had significant association with HBV infection. There was no statistically significant association between history of blood transfusion, multiple sexual practices, hospital admission, genital mutilation, surgical procedure, body tattooing history of abortion and HBV infection. Conclusion: The highest prevalence of HBV infection was detected as compared to the previous studies in different region of Ethiopia. Hence, screening of pregnant women for HBV irrespective of basis of risk factor may reduce exposure to HBV infection Key words: Hepatitis B virus, Risk factors, Pregnant women, Hawassa
Hidden Sector Hydrogen as Dark Matter: Small-scale Structure Formation Predictions and the Importance of Hyperfine Interactions

description: We study the atomic physics and the astrophysical implications of a model in which the dark matter is the analog of hydrogen in a secluded sector. The self interactions between dark matter particles include both elastic scatterings as well as inelastic processes due to a hyperfine transition. The self-interaction cross sections are computed by numerically solving the coupled Schrödinger equations for this system. We show that these self interactions exhibit the right velocity dependence to explain the low dark matter density cores seen in small galaxies while being consistent with all constraints from observations of clusters of galaxies. For a viable solution, the dark hydrogen mass has to be in 10--100 GeV range and the dark fine-structure constant has to be larger than 0.02. Precisely for this range of parameters, we show that significant cooling losses may occur due to inelastic excitations to the hyperfine state and subsequent decays, with implications for the evolution of low-mass halos and the early growth of supermassive black holes. Cooling from excitations to higher $n$ levels of dark hydrogen and subsequent decays is possible at the cluster scale, with a strong dependence on halo mass. Finally, we show that the minimum halo mass is in the range of $10^{3.5}$ to $10^7 M_\odot$ for the viable regions of parameter space, significantly larger than the typical predictions for weakly-interacting dark matter models. This pattern of observables in cosmological structure formation is unique to this model, making it possible to rule in or rule out hidden sector hydrogen as a viable dark matter model.

description: Knoevenagel reactions have been performed by the action of various unsymmetrical thiobarbituric acids containing activated methylene carbon and electron deficient center of aromatic aldehydes using small amount of acetic acid as initiator in ethanolic medium. The present protocol proceeded smoothly on room temperature stirring using ethyl alcohol as solvent with the help of initiator. The work-up procedure is very simple and products have been purified by simple recrystallization. Thus rendering the methodology is good and all synthesized molecules were characterized by 1H, 13C NMR, and MS spectra.
New classes of bi-axially symmetric solutions to four-dimensional Vasiliev higher spin gravity

description: We present new infinite-dimensional spaces of bi-axially symmetric asymptotically anti-de Sitter solutions to four-dimensional Vasiliev higher spin gravity, obtained by modifications of the Ansatz used in arXiv:1107.1217, which gave rise to a Type-D solution space. The current Ansatz is based on internal semigroup algebras (without identity) generated by exponentials formed out of the bi-axial symmetry generators. After having switched on the vacuum gauge function, the resulting generalized Weyl tensor is given by a sum of generalized Petrov type-D tensors that are Kerr-like or 2-brane-like in the asymptotic AdS4 region, and the twistor space connection is smooth in twistor space over finite regions of spacetime. We provide evidence for that the linearized twistor space connection can be brought to Vasiliev gauge.

description: There is an ongoing discussion whether it is wise to randomize the run order of a factorial experiment if there is concern about a possible time trend in the experiment. It can be argued that a randomized order is not very effective because the trend inflates the error. Some authors even criticize that a randomized order will normally not be orthogonal to trend, they claim that therefore there will be bias under the randomized order. On the other hand, a systematic order will only be useful if the true trend is behaving as is predicted by the model. The present paper investigates the properties of different run order strategies in a simulation study with unreplicated factorial designs. We check to which extend the presence of a time trend might inflate the probability of false rejection of a true nullhypothesis, and we compare the power of significance tests based on the half-normal plot under the various run order concepts.
