Assessment of spatial distribution of enset plant diversity and enset bacteria wilt using geostatistical techniques in Yem special district, Southern Ethiopia

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Ensete plant (Enset ventricosum) is a monocarpic perennial crop, found under genus Ensete. It is mainly known and planted by farmers as a drought resistant crop and staple food in the rural community of southern Ethiopia. Large numbers of enset clones are growing in a wide range of altitude. Currently, enset plant diversity and production has been endangered by devastated enset bacterial wilt disease (EBW) which is caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum. The study aimed at to assess the spatial distribution of enset clone richness and diversity, and enset bacterial wilt disease in Yem special district of southern Ethiopia using ArcGIS geostatistical (Kriging) techniques. The highest diversity was recorded in Semu Awash kebele with Shannon index of 3.38 and the lowest was in Nuba kebele an index of 2.56. The Sorenson similarity/variation indices showed that Gurmina Hangeri/Meleka and Ediya/Gurmina Hangeri each pairs of kebeles share 18 clones with index value of 0.81 and 0.67, respectively. While lowest share recorded between Laignaw (upper) Kesheli and Tachignaw (lower) Kesheli kebeles with Sorenson indices of 0.16 (only five clones in common recorded). Enset bacterial wilt disease is distributed in all sampled kebeles in varying ranges. The rate of disease prevalence, incidence and severity lies between ranges of 75–100%, 46.8–88.9%, and 36.1–81.4%, respectively. Semu Awasho and Laignaw Kesheli kebeles scored 100% prevalence while in Shemona Metelo kebele it is scored 75%. Therefore, the analyzed results indicate that it is necessary to compact EBW distribution and to conserve enset richness and diversity in the district for the sake of enhancing food security of farmers at household level in Yem special district. Otherwise, in the longer run the food security and enset plant species would be endanger and it may have significant impact on socio-economic development of the rural community. This study considered limited bio-physical factors for EBW analysis, we recommend in further research in the future should be conducted including other socio-biophysical factors.
Early detection of osteoporosis in a general practitioner's office

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction. Identifying certain risk factors for osteoporosis can greatly influence its occurrence, progression, and overall outcomes. Objective. Our research focused on osteoporosis and its risk factors in menopausal women attending a general practitioner's office. Method. The research was conducted at the Primary Healthcare Center in Lazarevac from September to December 2016. We collected data on risk factors for osteoporosis during regular visits to general practitioners (GPs) and also utilized medical records. Participants who had one or more risk factors were referred for bone mineral density (BMD) measurement using DEXA scans. Based on the BMD findings and the identified risk factors, some participants were referred to a rheumatologist. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and statistical hypothesis testing methods in SPSS version 20. Results. A total of 58 postmenopausal women over the age of 45 participated in our research, with an average age of 65.62 years. The most common risk factors identified were early menopause (32.8%), cigarette smoking (31.0%), and the presence of chronic diseases (25.9%). Among the participants, 51.7% had one or two risk factors, while 22.4% had three or more. Additionally, 72.4% of the participants were referred for DEXA scans, and osteoporosis was diagnosed in 35.7% of them, leading to the initiation of treatment. Conclusion. Identifying individuals at risk for osteoporosis in a general practitioner's office can be done easily by looking for specific risk factors. Early health interventions can lead to effective prevention, prompt diagnosis, and appropriate treatment of the disease.

How Discrete Emotions Affect Misinformation Reported in Eyewitness Testimonies

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Eyewitness testimonies are significantly important in the forensic and legal domain; however, the emphasis on discrete emotions on the amount of misinformation reported by eyewitnesses remains relatively niche, warranting further scrutiny. The emotion fear in particular, has received scant attention in regards to the misinformation effect and the PANAS scale, which was used to capture self-reports of discrete emotions in prior studies, has several limitations. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of discrete emotions on the amount of misinformation reported. One hundred and eighty-eight undergraduate students were recruited and assigned to either the happy, sad, fearful or neutral condition. Participant’s responses were recorded on the DEQ before and after the emotion induction, and subsequently presented with a misinformation paradigm. Generally, it was proposed that; participants in the fearful condition would report the most amount of misinformation, followed by the neutral, sad and happy conditions, and participants across all conditions would report more misinformation on peripheral compared to central details. Experimental data analysis revealed that there was no significant effect of discrete emotions on amount of misinformation reported, and therefore none of hypotheses were supported. The nature of these findings and implications for future research are discussed.
Challenges of female executives' work activities: the hyper-efficiency operating mode

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose This paper aims to examine the work experiences of female executives and the challenges of their visible and invisible work activities, considering the operating modes they develop to carry out their work activities. Design/methodology/approach This study relies on a materialist feminist perspective and a critical experientialist work theory, which considers both the visible and invisible dimensions of the work performed by female executives. The methodology is based on a qualitative research design involving individual and group interviews with 51 Canadian female executives. Findings The results reveal the hyper-efficiency operating mode mobilized by female executives, which combines strategies to take over and delegate work activities from the domestic sphere to reconcile the managerial work with their different life spheres. Originality/value A key finding emerging from these results relates to the invisible but omnipresent part of the work activities from the domestic sphere throughout the lives of female executives.
Rentierism and security privatisation in the Nigerian petroleum industry: assessment of oil pipeline surveillance and protection contracts (2018)

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

SUMMARY This briefing examines rentierism and security privatisation in the Nigerian petroleum industry. It demonstrates how the awarding of oil pipeline surveillance and protection contracts, with little attention to organisational capacity of applicant companies, resulted in widespread discontent among militias and groups not recognised or rewarded by a contract. These groups then intensified attacks on oil infrastructures in the post-amnesty era. The authors' findings endorse the government's 2015 decision to terminate the contracts, while they recommend transparent and democratic management of oil wealth as a long-term solution to human insecurity in the Niger Delta.

A Review of Current and Novel Approaches for Treatment of Keratitis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Keratitis is an ocular disease characterized by inflammation of the cornea. If not treated quickly and efficiently, keratitis can lead to ocular morbidity. It is categorized, based on causal agent, into non-infectious and infectious keratitis. Non-infectious keratitis is commonly due to ocular injury or prolonged use of contact lenses and can lead to opportunistic infection; these infectious agents consist of HSV-1, Staphylococcus, Candida, and Acanthamoeba, among others. Treatment of infectious/microbial keratitis differs depending on the pathogen and each patient requires unique care and treatment. Topical administration of drugs, via eyedrops, is the most common form of initial treatment for keratitis. However, physiological barriers within the eye lead to poor bioavailability of drug from eyedrops, and frequent administration is needed to overcome this challenge. Since conventional treatment is not ideal, it is important to develop novel drugs and delivery methods that are more appropriate for treating ocular conditions and protect the corneal epithelium. Novel pharmaceutical approaches, such as drug-loaded contact lenses, in situ gel formulations, and nanoparticle-carriers are some of the most promising novel drug delivery methods currently being investigated. They are being used to deliver common antimicrobial agents such as nucleosides, fluroquinolones, and steroids, but with greater ocular bioavailability. A novel non-pharmaceutical approach, corneal crosslinking, has also been developed to treat keratitis. This review will discuss these current treatment options and conventional challenges regarding keratitis, with an emphasis on keratitis due to microbial pathogens.
The Effectiveness of Project Based Learning with Computational Thinking Techniques in a Software Engineering Project Course

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

To date, finding the most effective method to teach SE students is extremely challenging. This study used the project-based learning approach which applies computational thinking techniques by engaging students via inquiry based, hands on and student centric in teaching the software engineering Project course to students enrolled in a software engineering program. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the project-based learning approach as an innovative pedagogical method to improve software engineering students’ skills in three critical domains, namely practical, knowledge, and soft-skills. Seventy students’ skills and knowledge of various aspects of software engineering before and after the learning intervention were compared using the t-test. They were guided to carry out a software engineering project in several groups. Survey questionnaires consisting of close and open-ended questions to probe various aspects of software engineering, namely project planning, requirement analysis, software design, developments, and presentation, were administered to the students after the learning intervention. The results showed the differences in students’ skills and knowledge in the above aspects of software engineering were significant, signifying that the project-based learning––computational thinking approach is an effective approach to help students learn such aspects of software engineering more efficaciously and boost cooperative learning.

They both complained of continueing and increasing knee pain. The roentgenograms demonstrated an elongation of the lateral pole of the patella in one case, and ossification in the lateral retinaculum in the other. These findings were considered to be suggestive findings of ELPS.
DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A FORTRAN ASSISTANT TOOL FOR VECTOR COMPILERS

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a source-to-source High Performance Fortran assistant Tool (HPFT) in DEC 3000 workstations. For a given sequential program written in Fortran 77, the HPFT generates a vectorized, reuse-exploited and/or parallelized version for vector computers. Several new compilation schemes in vectorization, reuse exploitation and multithreading are designed in the HPFT. A performance evaluator is developed for measuring the system performance. The user interface is also designed for the programmer to capture the information related to the compilation and execution of the program. Experimental results based on the Convex C3840 vector computer show that the developed HPFT enhances the system performance and usually reduces the program execution time.
Effect of (chloride salt) electrolytes on the mixed micellization of (equimolar) a cationic gemini (dimeric) surfactant and a cationic conventional (monomeric) surfactant

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Herein we report the effect of (chloride salt) electrolytes on the mixed micellization of (equimolar) a cationic gemini (dimeric) surfactant, hexanediyl-1,6-bis(dimethylcetylammonium bromide) (16-6-16), and a cationic conventional (monomeric) surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in aqueous solutions. In absence and presence of (chloride salt) MCl (where M˭Li, Na, and K) electrolytes, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of mixed (16-6-16 + CTAB) surfactants was measured by surface tension measurements. With increasing the concentration of electrolyte, the CMCs were increasing. The surface properties and the thermodynamic parameters of the mixed micellar systems were also evaluated. From these evaluated thermodynamic parameters, it was found that in presence of electrolyte the stability of the mixed micellar system is more.
Healthy Here: A Promising Referral System Model for Community–Clinical Linkages to Prevent Chronic Disease

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Linking clinical services to community-based resources is a promising strategy for assisting patients with chronic disease prevention and management. However, there remains a gap in understanding how to effectively develop and implement community–clinical linkages (CCLs), especially in communities of color. The Healthy Here initiative used Stage Theory of organizational change to implement a centralized wellness referral system, linking primary care clinics to community organizations in majority Hispanic/Latinx and Native American communities. Data were collected using a standardized referral form. Facilitators and challenges were identified through semi-structured discussions with partner organizations. Between 2016 and 2021, 43 clinics and 497 health care providers made 7,465 referrals, the majority of which were from the focus populations. The average proportion of patients referred by clinic champions decreased significantly over time, reflecting diffusion of the intervention within clinics. Facilitators to system success included building on existing networked partnerships, utilizing a centralized referral center, leveraging funding, sharing data, addressing challenges collectively, incorporating multilevel leadership, and co-developing and testing a standardized referral form and process with a single clinic and provider before scaling up. Challenges included funding restrictions, decreasing referrals within clinics over time, changing availability of resources and programs, and the COVID-19 pandemic. This innovative initiative demonstrates that CCLs can be developed and implemented to successfully reach Hispanic/Latinx and Native American communities and provides strategies for overcoming challenges.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Purpose: To examine content validity, reliability and responsiveness of the Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS), for patients with musculoskeletal disorders receiving physiotherapy in primary care. Design: A methodological study with a cross-sectional design for the investigation of content validity and reliability and a prospective cohort design for the investigation of responsiveness. Materials: For the study of content validity and reliability 81 patients were included. For the study of responsiveness 180 patients were included. Methods: Content validity was examined by categorizing the reported activities according to ICF. In the study of reliability Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), Smallest Error of Measurement (SEM) and Smallest Detectable Change (SDC) were calculated. Responsiveness was examined through a criterion approach. Area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity and Minimal Important Change (MIC) were calculated with Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC). Results :Patients mainly reports problems at ICF-activity level. Reliability was acceptable for first reported activity (ICC>0.7), but poorer for activity 2 and 3 (ICC<0.7). Based on SDC and MIC, 2 points change in PSFS score can be considered clinically and statistically relevant. Conclusion: PSFS is a reliable and responsive tool when used to map and evaluate activity problems in patients with musculoskeletal disorders seeking physiotherapy in primary care.
