The surveillance analysis of the adverse events following immunization of the domestic 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine in Zhejiang Province

To evaluate the safety of the domestic 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine-tetanus toxoid protein (PCV13-TT) after its licensure. The adverse event following immunization (AEFI) and the vaccination data of PCV13-TT in Zhejiang province from July 2020 to October 2021 were collected from national adverse event following immunization surveillance system and Zhejiang provincial immunization information system. Descriptive epidemiological method was used for this analysis. From July 2020 to October 2021, 302 317 doses of PCV13-TT were administered in children under 6 years old in Zhejiang Province and 636 AEFI case reports were received, with a reporting rate of 21.04 per 10 000 doses. Of these AEFI cases, 97.17% were mild vaccine product-related reaction (20.54 per 10 000 doses) and 95.44% occurred in the 0-1 d after vaccination (20.08 per 10 000 doses). The most common clinical diagnoses of AEFI included fever (224 cases), redness (204 cases), and induration (190 cases), while allergic rash (11 cases) was the most common diagnosis among the abnormal reactions. In conclusion,the present results bolstered that the domestic PCV13-TT was generally well tolerated in children under 6 years old in Zhejiang Province.

The Islands of Sanity in the Killing Fields of Inequalities: A juxtaposed case in Management, Leadership and Governance Practices!

This article was motivated by the conversations which ensued at ECMLG 2021 after a presentation on a similar topic. The question from the audience was whether the researcher and analyst still had tenure in the insider research project he had just shared. The response was in the affirmative, although serious concerns were expressed about the quality of the tenure, symbolized by the brutality and dehumanising tendencies of the then University Regime. Therefore, this project-based article at ECMLG 2022 continues from that debate. Mirrored on the national events as a result of the Justice Zondo Commission about State Capture in South Africa, the article focuses on one case of a university institution, which was arguable under a capture during a particular regime of a Vice Chancellor and Principal. The case of “The Killing Fields of Inequalities” is very typical of the national contexts, which is still steeped in settler colonialism and in a structured racist system, strangely almost thirty years into constitutional democracy. Such a case is juxtaposed with what can be referred to as “Islands of Sanity”! The two African folklore illustrate the case as reported in the article. Firstly, that the system can be changed but it will first try to eat you up! Secondly, that when the hyena wants to eat its own children, it first accuses them of smelling like rats. Therefore, the main argument, which serves as the anchor for the article, is to problematise the taken for granted claims about management, leadership and governance practices in university education spaces. This can be done by means of realist oriented scholarship projects, which ought to dig deeper than what appears on surface as leadership for the idea of university education as the public good. In this regard, the article suggests a realist social program, which is anchored on the critical realist philosophy, in accounting for the cited practices and in ways that can shed more light for the transformative outcomes than those reported in the article. It is envisaged that the article will have as the result, promotion of systemic conversations about the default position and fault consciousness in the idea of university education in general and how such an idea should be better managed, led and governed in the national development plans (in the case of South Africa, for example).

The effect of National Sports Events on Women and Gender in Sports in Juba, South Sudan

The purpose of this article is twofold: first, to understand the reality of gender disparities in sport in South Sudan, which has not been fully understood; and second, to examine the effects of sporting event interventions, such as whether they can improve gender disparities in sport. In order to achieve the research objectives, quantitative household surveys, focus group discussions and key informant interviews were conducted with Juba citizens before and after the national sporting event held in Juba in 2020. Regarding the reality of gender disparities in sport in Juba, contrary to expectations, we found that more than 75 per cent of men and more than half of women play sports in Juba. However, a breakdown by sport shows that the sports actually played and participation rates are highly skewed by gender; men for football and women for volleyball. Furthermore, it was found that the national sport event intervention increases the probability of playing sport and the number of days playing sport for women more than for men. These findings suggest that the more sport events can be held, the more gender disparities in sport can be improved in South Sudan. In South Sudan, where patriarchy persists, the results show that increasing women's participation in sport may not only reduce gender disparities, but may also entail a change in the traditional social norm to date that women should focus only on childcare and housework.

Mutualistic relationship of the Agaonidae Family (Insecta: Hymenoptera) with Ficus sp. (Moraceae) contributing to diversity and sustainability in tropical forests

Species of the Family Agaonidae are associated with the genus Ficus , as the species of the subfamily Agaoninae behave as pollinators, while the other species are mainly parasites of pollinators or gall formers from other parts of the fig. The male's life cycle is exhausted inside the fig tree's syconium: its role is to mate with the female and, therefore, with its robust jaws, open an exit for her (it is the opposite of what happens among the Strepsiptera, in which the female never leaves the host). Once fertilized, the female will leave the host fig to lay eggs in other figs, thus completing pollination. The objective of this paper is to survey the biology, bionomy and taxonomy of the Agoanidae Family (Hymenoptera). To this end, a bibliographic survey of Agaonidae was carried out in the years 1916 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Academia.edu, Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic, Science and ERIC.

Inventory of the Megaspilidae family (Insecta: Hymenoptera)

The Megaspilidae Family is little known as a whole, however it is believed that the majority is parasitoid, especially of Hemiptera (Sternorrhyncha), and some hyperparasitoids. The remarkable diversity of hosts used by hyperparasitoids of the genus Dendrocerus seems to be centered on predators and parasitoids of Hemiptera of the suborder Sternorrhyncha (aphids and occasionally psyllids). Their hosts include Hymenoptera (Aphidiidae and more rarely Aphelinidae, Encyrtidae, Pteromalidae, Braconidae and Figitidae), Diptera ((pupae) Coleoptera Neuroptera and Mecoptera. They are hyperparasitoids, for example Braconidae in aphids; in addition to some being associated with ants. The objective of this work is to investigate the biology, ecology and biology of the Megaspilidae (Hymenoptera). To this end, a bibliographic survey of Megaspilidae was carried out in the years 1940 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Frontiers, Qeios, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, Microsoft Academic, Science and Scielo.

Bottled vs tap water perceptions, choices and recommendations in a US Midwest university community

PurposeThis study aims to determine preference and concerns regarding tap vs bottled water and recommendations to increase tap water use in a US Midwest university. The authors propose interventions to increase tap water use based on survey results.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted an online survey of the community of a regional comprehensive university in the St. Louis metro-east region (Illinois, USA). They analyzed 781 responses using mixed methods, and developed recommendations based on community-based social marketing principles.FindingsBlack respondents reported higher bottled water use than White respondents. Undergraduate students reported higher bottled water use than faculty or staff. Most respondents were concerned about cost and environmental impact for bottled water and taste and water quality for tap water. Chemical and safety concerns were specific and location-focused for tap water only. Concerns were similar to Safe Drinking Water Act mandated public information, such as prior reports of lead (Pb) in campus drinking water. Tap water taste concerns may relate to proximity to the water treatment plant, resulting in high residual chlorine levels. To increase tap water use in this community, the authors recommend persuasive information campaigns, improvements to infrastructure and distribution that increase tap water convenience, more transparent public reporting on tap water lead levels, management of residual chlorine levels, and establishment of institutional norms favoring tap water over bottled water.Originality/valueThe authors evaluate barriers to drinking tap water across multiple environmental and social systems. The methods used in this study combine mixed methods analysis and community-based social marketing. The findings integrate respondent demographics and concerns, local water quality, local and national contamination events, campus-specific sustainability initiatives and barriers, and national drinking water regulations.

The liturgy of triumph: victory culture, popular rituals, and the US way of wartiming

Wartime is fundamentally important to the study of international politics but not especially well understood. In this paper, we use timing theory and the concept of liturgy to unpack the contemporary dynamics of US wartime. A theory of political timing posits that all temporalities derive from and symbolize underlying social processes, and that these timing efforts unfold according to a master organizing standard. Liturgy highlights the way that ritualized acts help participants commune with the sacred – whether this be God or the nation-state. Scrutinizing contemporary US culture practices, we combine these ideas to argue that the notion of victory, as enacted through a widespread set of performative routines, acts as an organizing standard that embeds and reifies wartime in US security policy and daily life. Prevalent ideals of winning wars gather together a stylized past, explicate present problems, and generate expectations about future problems and conflicts. We tabulate several highly influential examples of this liturgy of triumph from national calendars, commemorative sites and events, and cultural practices like spectator sports. In addition to normalizing a view of wartime as having clear beginnings and uniquely successful endings, the US liturgy of triumph highlights a growing gap in the country’s relationship to the use of force. Most of what performative war liturgies commemorate is ‘finished’; it has been seen, known, and ostensibly won. Yet, much of what defines 21st century conflict is anything but certain or victorious. Moreover, US victory culture has only grown more acute the longer the concrete victories fail to materialize, suggesting a tragic code at the heart of US security politics.

Creating a Safe Space for Peaceful Coexistence Through National Sporting Events in South Sudan

Even after gaining independence, South Sudan has experienced repeated outbreaks of conflict. Under these circumstances, national sports events have been held under the theme of “Peace and Social Cohesion.” This paper aims to verify the role that national sporting events play in promoting social capital among the athletes who participated in the event. The finding of the paper shows that by creating a safe space for peaceful coexistence during the sporting event, athletes were able to overcome their anxiety toward other ethnic groups, and through their interactions with other athletes, develop mutual respect and friendships. This, in turn, led to a reduction of their prejudice toward other ethnic groups and to greater trust and networks among athletes. As the paper suggests, sports events may help to promote social capital for ethnic reconciliation by providing a safe space for peaceful coexistence in South Sudan.

Group anomaly detection in mobile app usages: A spatiotemporal convex hull methodology

Analysing mobile apps communications can unleash significant information on both the communication infrastructure state and the operations of mobile computing services. A wide variety of events can engender unusual mobile communication patterns possibly interesting for pervasive computing applications, e.g., in smart cities. For instance, local events, national events, and network outages can produce spatiotemporal load anomalies that could be taken into consideration by both mobile applications and infrastructure providers, especially with the emergence of edge computing frameworks where the two environments merge. Being able to detect and timely treat these anomalies is therefore a desirable feature for next-generation cellular and edge computing networks, with regards to security, network and application performance, and public safety. We focus on the detection of mobile access spatiotemporal anomalies by decomposing, aggregating and grouping cellular data usage features time series. We propose a methodology to detect first raw anomalies, and group them in a spatiotemporal convex hull , further refining the anomaly detection logic, with a novel algorithmic framework. We show how with the proposed framework we can unveil details about broad-category mobile events timeline, their spatiotemporal spreading, and their impacted apps. We apply our technique to extensive real-world data and open source our code. By linkage with ground-truth special events that happened in the observed period, we show how our methodology is able to detect them. We also evidence the existence of five main categories of anomalies, finely characterising them. Finally, we identify global patterns in the anomalies and assess their level of unpredictability, based on the nature of the impacted mobile applications.

PENERAPAN MODEL JIGSAW PADA MATERI PERISTIWA KEBANGSAAN MASA PENJAJAHAN EROPA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR SISWA KELAS V SD NEGERI 2 TIJUE PERCONTOHAN

The purpose of this study was to determine the activities of teachers and students in teaching and learning activities by applying the Jigsaw model to the material on National Events of the European Colonial Period in social studies learning and to improve the learning outcomes of fifth grade students at SDN 2 Tijue Pilot. The type of research conducted is classroom action research (CAR). The research subjects were the fifth grade students of SDN 2 Tijue Pilot, totaling 23 students. The data collection technique used in this research is to describe the learning experience with the application of cooperative methods and consider input from the observer to make changes or improvements to the weaknesses experienced by the research teacher in each cycle. The results showed that in the first cycle the average value was 62.2 with 43.5% classical completeness, the finding of weakness was that very few students were actively involved in learning activities, so improvements were made by applying the Jigsaw cooperative model in the second cycle. Cycle II uses the Jigsaw model with the average score increasing to 70.9 with classical completeness 78.3%, the finding of weakness in the second cycle is that there are still students who are passive in learning. Cycle III using the Jigsaw model increased again by obtaining an average value of 81.7 with 100% classical completeness, so learning was stopped in cycle III.

The damage the Family Psilidae to agriculture (Insecta: Diptera)

Biology of the carrot fly Psila rosae (Fabricius, 1794) was described by the Danish zoologist Fabricius as early as the 18th century (Fabricius, 1794). The flies overwinter mainly as pupae in the soil near their host plants, in mild winters also as larvae in the host plant roots or in harvest residues. Depending on the temperature, the first generation of carrot flies hatches from mid/late April and reaches a peak in May. Little is known about the spread of adult flies and their migration to current carrot plots, but vegetation elements presumably play an important role in orientation and protection against dehydration. The aim of the mini review is to study on the biology, behavior and damage caused by the carrot fly (Diptera: Psilidae). The aim of this study is to report the characteristics of the Family Psilidae. For this, a bibliographic survey of Scoliidae was carried out in the years to 2022. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented in national and international scientific events were considered.

Study on the Pantophthalmidae Family (Diptera: Pantophthalmidae)

There are occurrences of the Pantophthalmidae Family in several Brazilian states, in which observed the habits of these insects. It appears that the larvae are more active at night, live in living or dead trees, and they feed on accumulated organic matter or the products of wood fermentation, on the other hand, adult activities are restricted to reproduction, being cuddles and showing sexual dimorphism. The aim of this paper is to study the biological and taxonomic aspects of the Pantophthalmidae Family. For this, a bibliographic survey of Pantophthalmidae was carried out in the years 1976 to 2022. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented in national and international scientific events were considered. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Academia.edu, Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic and Scienc.

Ethology of the Leucospidae Family (Insecta: Hymenoptera)

The ovipositor of the female (Leucospidae) is sometimes very short, otherwise it is curved and extends along the dorsal part of the abdomen. The males have the peculiarity that the segments of the metasoma form a kind of capsule or shell. The female deposits an egg on or near the prey. When the larva hatches, it first seeks out and kills any competitors and only then begins to feed on the host. The objective of this article is to deal with the animal behavior of the Leucospidae Family. For this, a bibliographic survey of Leucospidae was carried out in the years 1883 to 2022. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented in national and international scientific events were considered. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Academia.edu, Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic and Science.

Protection of Roadside Shrines and Crosses in Poland Against The Background of Historical Events and in Light of Established Legal Acts

Roadside crosses and shrines are a characteristic element of the Polish landscape. Small sacred objects are intertwined with history and the cultural context of Polish countryside and cities, arising from the need of faith, and have manifested piety for generations. Many crosses and shrines were erected as mementos of important national events, uprisings, war skirmishes, independence spurts that took place in the 19th and in the first half of the 20th centuries, commemorating national anniversaries, for instance 1918, anniversaries of Christianization of Poland, jubilees of historic events. They were also built upon old mass graves of victims of bygone epidemics. In the context of historic events, objects of small sacral architecture were met with harassment and repressions. Therefore, after regaining independence legal initiatives were undertaken by the state and the Church to save these objects. Unfortunately, not always did this type of object receive sufficient legal protection or proper appraisal. In documents they are present in the background. That is why ethnographic studies are often the only way to save their memory, and preserve the image of old crosses, statues, and shrines.

Aulacidae Family as Endoparasitoids of Xylophagous Insects: Of the Order Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Diptera

Regarding the biology of the Aulacidae family, their larvae live under the barks of dying or dead deciduous trees where they are predators or scavengers of the larvae of other insects. Adults, which are rarely captured, are found mainly in wooded areas close to the larval habitat, mainly on trunks and leaves. The aim of this manuscript is to describe insects belonging to the Aulacidae family are parasitoids of Coleoptera, Diptera and Hymenoptera. For this, a bibliographic survey of Aulacidae was carried out from the years 1988 to 2022. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented in national and international scientific events were considered. Additional data was obtained from platforms such as Academia.edu, Frontiers, Qeios, PubMed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic and Science.

The Forgotten 1970 Chicago Cubs: Go and Glow by William S. Bike

Reviewed by: The Forgotten 1970 Chicago Cubs: Go and Glow by William S. Bike Paul Hensler William S. Bike. The Forgotten 1970 Chicago Cubs: Go and Glow. Charleston, SC: The History Press, 2021. 143 pp. Paperback, $21.99. The portmanteau “nostalgiamentary” comes with a whiff of pejorative connotation that diminishes a topic’s serious historical discussion while overplaying its sentimentality. In William S. Bike’s tale about “the best damn team never to win a pennant,” readers are treated to a pleasant look back, for better and worse (12). In this slender volume the audience gets a solid dose of reliving the Chicago Cubs’ 1970 season shaded with the author’s personal reminiscences, an accounting of the Northsiders’ travails during the baseball campaign. Then a curious coda as to the possible fortunes of this team had the planets and stars aligned so that the Curse of the Billy Goat would not have lasted until well into the twenty-first century. By inserting himself occasionally into the narrative, Bike evinces a connection to how baseball impressed us in our youth, which somehow always has it that things were better in the old days. Optimism running close to the surface, the “go and glow” of the book’s subtitle is attributed to one of Ernie Banks’s cheery slogans indicating that “for 1970 . . . the Cubs will go and glow in 7–0” (20). Roughly half of the book’s chapters lead with brief recaps of national events that add historical context, such as the Kent State shootings or the passing of notable personalities. The mention of the ongoing military draft is relevant because call-ups of ballplayers to active duty had an impact on major league rosters as the Vietnam War dragged on. While discussion of player personnel moves is germane to evaluating a team’s performance, Bike is harsh with the Cubs, especially in the case of their shipping nineteen-year-old Oscar Gamble to the Phillies and the purging of Hank [End Page 126] Aguirre and Ted Abernathy from the pitching staff. The historical record of virtually every ball club is littered with transactions gone awry after a general manager executed a trade in the name of improvement. However, by calling out poor trades and the subsequent better performance of the now ex-Cubs more recently jettisoned, the author undermines his argument about the perceived quality of the book’s team of focus. Several misfortunes—a serious injury to catcher Randy Hundley and a twelve-game losing streak in June that cost the Cubs eight games in the standings—put a crimp in their pennant hopes and conspired to relegate the team to third place in the National League (NL) East for most of the season’s second half. Despite the arrival of pitcher Milt Pappas and outfielder and first baseman Joe Pepitone, both of whom provided valuable contributions after arriving in midseason trades, the team again failed to capture the divisional pennant. The 1970 edition of the Chicago NLers does fit the author’s description of being forgotten. Still, he would have done well to provide more details on how the regular season progressed rather than breezing through it in barely fifty pages. That the Cubs were only a game or two from first place in mid-September rates a closer look at their stalwart effort than the mere ten pages devoted to what truly was an exciting pennant race. Instead, Bike opts to engage in speculation, some of which is unfortunately underpinned by questionable analysis that attempts to plump the credentials of a team that was simply a weak contender. In drawing comparisons with the 1970 NL champion Cincinnati Reds, whose 102 wins were far and away better than any other team in the league, he points out that the Cubs were 17–21 in one-run games but fails to note that the Reds were 27–15 in like contests. Titles are often forged through the diligence of winning close games, a category in which Chicago simply pulled up short. If the 1970 Cubs were, as asserted, the best team to never win a pennant, then why was there no momentum or carryover into 1971 that may...

Effects of 4-week Training Using Laboratory Index on Competition Record of Elite Female Middle-distance Runner: A Case Report

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of a 4-week training using a laboratory index on the competition record of elite female middle-distance runners.METHODS: A female, middle-distance, trained runner with the following characteristics: age, 20 years; height, 168.7 cm; weight, 64.3 kg; 27.2% fat; and VO<sub>2</sub>max, 56.4 VO<sub>2</sub> mL/kg/min; volunteered to participate in this study. Before the training program, the participant took part in a 1,500-m track and field national event in April and the onset of blood lactate threshold was analyzed using (OBVA/ vOBLA), VO<sub>2</sub>max/vVO<sub>2</sub>max, and tVO<sub>2</sub>max tests. After completing the 4-week training program, the participant again took part in the 1,500-m track and field national event in May and her parameters were reassessed using the OBVA/vOBLA, VO<sub>2</sub>max/vVO<sub>2</sub>max, and tVO<sub>2</sub>max tests.RESULTS: Pre- and post-training indicate that vVO<sub>2</sub>max did not improve; however, tVO<sub>2</sub>max (206 seconds pre-training vs. 251.51 seconds post-training) and VO<sub>2</sub>max (56.4 vs. 59.3 VO<sub>2</sub> mL/kg/min)significantly. However, this improvement in relative VO<sub>2</sub> was due to weight loss, and the absolute value of VO<sub>2</sub> (3.63 vs. 3.62 L/min) did not change. The 1,500-m race record in track and field events decreased significantly from a pre-training value of 5 minutes 03 seconds to a post-training value of 4 minutes 52 seconds. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that utilizing laboratory indicators including vOBLA, vVO<sub>2</sub>max, and tVO<sub>2</sub>max may be extremely valuable when prescribing training programs for middle-distance runners.
