Aim: In sub-Saharan Africa, approximately 40 million pregnant women are exposed to parasitic diseases such as malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum , Schistosome parasites, and soil-transmitted helminths (STHs). When parasitic diseases share the same habitat and overlap in distribution, then high co-infection rates occur. The co-infection can lead to consequences for the child, such as intraute…

Background Schistosomiasis in Africa is an ongoing public health problem that is caused by two major human species, Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium , which often cause concurrent infections. Due to the global goal of controlling or eliminating schistosomiasis as a public health problem, the issue of diagnostic sensitivity has become more critical in the assessment of program success.

This paper examines the water quality benefits of Wisconsin’s phosphorus rule, which created the most stringent water quality standards for phosphorus in the US. We estimate the impact of this policy on phosphorus concentrations downstream of affected point sources and investigate the differential benefits realized from compliance with the rule via treatment technology upgrade versus compliance t…

This article examines the 1997 film Spice World as a cultural critique of tabloid journalism at the height of the celebrity press era. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the study analyzes how the film represents journalism’s institutional power to construct, discipline, and commodify celebrity.

From here, it is a short step to the willful blindness that restricts…

Drawing on varied empirical examples from existi…

There is a high demand for detecting defects on the surface of objects. In industry, inspecting mass-produced items is costly and labor-intensive. This paper introduces an automatic defect detection method. Specifically, the method detects defects on multi-colored objects. While gradient-based edge detection can detect defects on grayscale images that have a uniform non-defect region, the edge de…
