The effect of the great Kermanshah earthquake on the tuberculosis infection trend: interrupted time series analysis

ObjectivesTuberculosis (TB) presents a substantial danger to populations experiencing crises like earthquakes. This study aims to explore the effect of the Kermanshah earthquake on the trend of TB.MethodsThis cross-sectional study examined tuberculosis data from 2009 to 2020, using monthly diagnoses. Data was collected from the TB research office and registration system. The study employed interrupted time series (ITS) analysis to assess both the immediate and long-term impacts of the earthquake on TB cases.ResultsIn Sarpol-e Zahab, TB cases initially surged after the earthquake, indicating an immediate effect, but then significantly declined compared to pre-earthquake levels, reflecting an effect over time (β0 = 1.39, β1=-0.004, β2 = 0.11 and β3=-0.01, P = 0.001 and Post-intervention linear trend= -0.015, P < 0.001). In Ghasr-e Shirin, the average number of TB cases prior to the earthquake was estimated at 0.58 cases, with a significant monthly decrease of 0.005 cases leading up to the earthquake (P = 0.001). There was no significant immediate change in TB cases during the first month after the earthquake (β2 = 0.008, P = 0.680). Post-earthquake, TB cases dramatically increased (β3 = 0.008, P = 0.001). The monthly trend of TB cases rose significantly by 0.002 (P = 0.001), indicating an effect over time. In Salas-e Babajani, there was no immediate change in TB cases, but there was a significant long-term decline compared to the period before the earthquake (P = 0.001).ConclusionsEarthquake is one of the natural crises that provide the conditions for the increase of TB. Local health policymakers must make plans in these areas to contain TB after the earthquake.

The effects of ventilation layout on cough droplet dynamics relating to seasonal influenza

The primary aim of this paper is to investigate airborne virus transmission in a typical meeting room relating to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (A.C.) systems. While the installation of 4-way cassette A.C. systems in offices and meeting rooms has become increasingly common, their efficiency in mitigating short-range airborne virus spread remains poorly understood. Addressing this gap is critical in the post-pandemic era, where understanding the limitations of various ventilation systems is paramount for public health. We systematically compare the performance of the 4-way cassette A.C., various configurations of mixing and displacement ventilation systems, and natural ventilation in controlling the spread of respiratory viruses. Our research uniquely integrates evaporation models to accurately simulate cough clouds' multiphase behavior under both quiescent and thermally influenced conditions. The study benchmarks these systems against two widely recognized ventilation standards (i.e., 5 air changes per hour and 10 l/s per person), offering evidence-based insights applicable across diverse indoor settings. Our findings reveal significant thermal effects in the quiescent case, resulting in 32.3%, 54.3%, and 8.0% changes in the axial, vertical, and lateral spread of the virus-laden droplets, respectively. Notably, the 0.5 m/s 4-way cassette A.C. system demonstrated superior performance, reducing the axial spread by 29.6% compared to other mechanical ventilation configurations. Furthermore, the role of exhaust outlets or doors was found to be critical in shaping the spread pattern in natural ventilation scenarios. This work can offer practical guidance to office workers, engineers, and public health officials on enhancing indoor airborne infection control.

Phytopurifying activity of Salvia officinalis L. from Tunisia

The sage (Salvia officinalis L.) is an annual and biennial plant of Mediterranean origin from the Lamiaceae family. It's a valuable medicinal plant, which is widely used in traditional medicine in world and in Tunisia; this species is very rich in active biological compounds.The objective of this study was to determine the phyto-purifying activity of sage essential, fixed oil and ethanolic extracts in an extensive wastewater purification system of Tunisian national sanitation office. We have measured the physico-chemical parameters of wastewater treated with sage oils and extracts. Then, we have carried out a bacteriological analysis of this wastewater.Our results showed that pH values measured following treatment with sage essential oil gave a pH close to neutral. Therefore, this water can be used for irrigation. In addition, the sage leaves and stems have a considerable effect on the salinity and caused a very remarkable increase in electrical conductivity of the wastewater, the measure of elimination rate demonstrated the effectiveness of sage extracts in eliminating all the microorganisms existing in wastewater.In fact, sage essential oil has the greatest effectiveness in reducing the chemical oxygen demand of the wastewater and we have noticed that a decrease in chemical oxygen demand of microorganisms existing in the wastewater was necessarily accompanied by a decrease in biological oxygen demand. Therefore, sage leaves and stems were more effective in reducing suspended matter existing in wastewater.

High-ranking officials of the plenipotentiary representative offices of the President of the Russian Federation in the federal districts: recruitment channels and careers

The article covers the analysis of the main recruitment channels for high-ranking officials of the plenipotentiary representative offices of the President of the Russian Federation in the federal districts. As the empirical basis of the study serves the biographical database, that includes information on 154 presidential bureaucrats as of April 2023. Recruitment of people from various socio-professional groups to the apparatus of the plenipotentiary representative offices reveals a number of trends caused by interacting push (specific features of the candidate's position and associated resources and interests) and pull (place in the power system and functional specialisation of the plenipotentiary representative offices, specifics of leadership positions in them, as elements of the opportunity structure, as well as personal connections) factors. One of the most important trends is militarisation: most officials of the plenipotentiary representative offices have work experience in law enforcement agencies and even spent there most of their previous careers. Recruiting security officials who are, in terms of career, “ideal-typical” federal officials and professionally socialised within the framework of rigid, centralised hierarchies probably strengthens the autonomy of the plenipotentiary representations from actors and interests external to federal power, including regional administrations, that these bodies are called upon to control. The logic of autonomisation is also in line with the fact that one of the main suppliers (especially direct) of key officials of the plenipotentiary representations is the Presidential Administration, first of all, the apparatus of the representations themselves. However, a significant minority of presidential officials have experience working in regional administrations (especially among deputies and assistants to plenipotentiaries), as well as in business, both public and private (especially among plenipotentiaries and their deputies). At the same time positions in these structures rarely serve as a direct springboard to a key position in the plenipotentiary representations. Finally, the role of legislative bodies as a channel for recruiting presidential officials is insignificant. In general, the author's findings are consistent with the results of previous studies, indicating the relative stability of recruitment trends.

지방의회 정책지원관제도의 운영실태 분석:지방의회 자치법규를 중심으로

In the 30 years since the revival of local autonomy, the Local Self-Government Act has made significant progress through the introduction and supplementation of systems related to resident autonomy and organizational autonomy. In the process, local demands and the transfer of authority from the center were negotiated and struggled for, and were incorporated into the law and system one by one, culminating in the complete revision of the Local Self-Government Act in January 2021. The basis for the operation of local council policy support officers was also laid at this time, and the policy support officer system was introduced in response to the demand for responsibility and authority to 'strengthen local council professionalism' and is currently operating within the range of one in two local council members. Research on local council policy support professionals has been conducted steadily before the introduction of the policy support officer system, and after the introduction of the system, studies have centered on the effectiveness of the system, but comparative studies on the autonomy law, which is the basis for the operation of the system, are rare. Therefore, this study examines the issues surrounding the policy support officer before and after the introduction of the policy support officer system, and draws out the main issues through a comparative analysis of the operation of the policy support officer system based on the autonomy law. The results showed that the main issues surrounding the policy support officer system, which was introduced to improve the professionalism of local councils' legislative activities, are: (i) similar organizations, (ii) the scope of duties, (iii) performance evaluation, and (iv) office management process.

The Prosecutor’s Office of the Baikonur complex and its Place in the Russian Prosecutor’s Office System

Currently, the role of the prosecutor’s office in the system of public authorities in Russia is quite high. This is confirmed by a wide range of functions assigned to the prosecutor’s office by Federal Law No. 2202-1 dated 17.01.1992 “On the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation”, organizational and administrative documents of the supervisory authority, as well as the practical participation of the prosecutor’s office and coverage of its activities in the information space. Of course, specialized prosecutor’s offices deserve special attention, a number of which are not textually fixed in the above-mentioned law. These include, for example, the prosecutor’s office of the Baikonur complex, which has specifics due to various features, which will be discussed. Based on the analysis of the activities of the prosecutor’s office of the Baikonur complex, as well as the doctrinal provisions in relation to it, the author’s conclusions and proposals concerning the further development of the prosecutor’s office under consideration are formed. One of the key proposals is the development and publication of an Order of the Prosecutor General of Russia, consolidating the provisions concerning the activities of the Prosecutor’s office of the Baikonur complex.

The California Community Colleges dual enrollment student journey: An equitable journey from participation to matriculation?

AbstractAcross the nation, community colleges have expanded dual enrollment programs to increase college enrollment and completion, particularly among historically underserved populations. The California Community College system—the largest system in the nation—is no different and recently expanded its dual enrollment programming to include College and Career Pathways Partnerships, in addition to Middle College High School and Early College High School. This article presents an original analysis of California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office system data to understand the dual enrollment student journey and any equity gaps that might exist in participation and outcomes, including college‐level math and/or English participation and completion, award attainment, and postsecondary matriculation. Though dual enrollment programs can be strategy to support equity, the authors find racial and regional equity gaps persist in both students’ access to these programs and their success. However, practitioners can take action to ensure it is an equitable journey at their school or college.

Optimisation and improvement of police officers’ special rank types

The article examines the process of reforming the law enforcement system in Ukraine, in particular the creation of the National Police in 2015, and its impact on the rank system of police officers. Special attention is paid to the main changes that occurred as a result of this reform. In particular, such positive aspects as bringing police standards closer to the European level, as well as creating a new police uniform and changing the rank system are highlighted. It is important to note that the reform is aimed at improving the efficiency of law enforcement agencies and their interaction with the public. The article also highlights the problem of the lack of additional ranks and limited career opportunities for junior police officers, which can lead to professional burnout and reduced staff motivation. An analysis of the positive experience of using the extended rank of junior and sergeant ranks in countries such as Canada, Germany, Greece, Spain, as well as the states of Virginia and Delaware in the USA is conducted. The proposed ways of solving the shortcomings in the rank system are aimed at improving the working conditions and motivation of the police personnel. In addition, it is proposed to introduce new ranks for junior and non-commissioned officers of the police in order to stimulate further self-development of professional skills and career growth prospects. In addition, each new rank will have separate duties and functions that will facilitate mutual assistance and cooperation with other police officers. It is also important to emphasise the need to update the design for cadets of higher education institutions with specific learning conditions and lyceums.
