Atraumatic Bilateral Patella Fracture in Middle-Aged Female: A Rare Case Report

The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the body and an important structure of the extensor apparatus which is under undue stress during flexion and extension of the knee. Bilateral fracture of the patella without trauma is a very rare event and may be multifactorial without a single cause. A repetitive stress reaction in a previously predisposed bone can be an important cause. We report a case of a 45-year-old female with a nontraumatic bilateral transverse patella fracture with loss of extensor mechanism. A stable surgical fixation for such a displaced fracture with a good rehabilitation program can lead to a good functional outcome.
Factors Affecting The Integrity Of Property And Real Estate Company Financial Statement

Companies have a responsibility to uphold integrity when disclosing financial reports. This research examines Indonesian Stock Exchange-listed companies in the property and real estate subsector from 2017 to 2021, specifically focusing on the ownership structure of financial, leverage, and intellectual assets and their impact on the integrity of financial statements. Quantitative methods, including panel data regression and descriptive statistics, are used to test hypotheses. A purposive sampling technique was utilised, resulting in a sample of 16 companies and 70 observation data points. The results indicate that ownership by institutions, managers, financial leverage, and intellectual assets collectively impact the honesty of financial statements. According to the findings, leverage affects the integrity of financial accounts somewhat positively, whereas managerial ownership exerts an adverse impact. However, no significant influence was found between institutional ownership and intellectual capital in relation to financial statement integrity.
A Critical Review of Risk Assessment Models for Listeria monocytogenes in Meat and Meat Products

A review of the published quantitative risk assessment (QRA) models of L. monocytogenes in meat and meat products was performed, with the objective of appraising the intervention strategies deemed suitable for implementation along the food chain as well as their relative effectiveness. A systematic review retrieved 23 QRA models; most of them (87%) focused on ready-to-eat meat products and the majority (78%) also covered short supply chains (end processing/retail to consumption, or consumption only). The processing-to-table scope was the choice of models for processed meats such as chorizo, bulk-cooked meat, fermented sausage and dry-cured pork, in which the effects of processing were simulated. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated the importance of obtaining accurate estimates for lag time, growth rate and maximum microbial density, in particular when affected by growth inhibitors and lactic acid bacteria. In the case of deli meats, QRA models showed that delicatessen meats sliced at retail were associated with a higher risk of listeriosis than manufacture pre-packed deli meats. Many models converged on the fact that (1) controlling cold storage temperature led to greater reductions in the final risk than decreasing the time to consumption and, furthermore, that (2) lower numbers and less prevalence of L. monocytogenes at the end of processing were far more effective than keeping low temperatures and/or short times during retail and/or home storage. Therefore, future listeriosis QRA models for meat products should encompass a processing module in order to assess the intervention strategies that lead to lower numbers and prevalence, such as the use of bio-preservation and novel technologies. Future models should be built upon accurate microbial kinetic parameters, and should realistically represent cross-contamination events along the food chain.
Development of natural sciences e-modules based on android with a science, environment, technology, and society approach in the earth structure chapter

The matter of the structure of the earth and its dynamics require sufficient visualization to imagine how the structure, layers of the earth, and things that can happen, such as earthquakes. Teachers have not used supportive media when delivering material on the structure of the earth and its dynamics, so students tend to have difficulty understanding the material. This study aims to produce a natural science e-module-based android with a science, environment, technology, and society (SETS) approach that is suitable for learning material on the structure of the earth and its dynamics. This research method uses a research and development (R&D) 4D model with four stages, namely defining, designing, developing, and distributing. The subjects of this study were 9 students of class VIII Islamic junior high school in Yogyakarta in the 2020/2021 academic year. The instruments used in this study were interview sheets and questionnaire sheets. Interview sheets are used to obtain information about data on media needs/learning resources needed by schools. While the validation sheet is used to determine the feasibility of the developed e-module. From the results of the validation analysis of material experts and media experts, the average score was 3.79 and 3.685, respectively. Meanwhile, from the results of the limited product trial, an average score of 3.84 was obtained. From the data analysis, it was concluded that the development of a natural science e-module-based android with the SETS approach on the material of the earth's structure and dynamics was suitable for use in learning. This E-Module can be used anywhere and trains students' independence in learning.
Northern Hemisphere Atmospheric Blocking Representation in Global Climate Models: Twenty Years of Improvements?

AbstractThe correct simulation of midlatitude atmospheric blocking has always been a main concern since the earliest days of numerical modeling of Earth’s atmosphere. To this day blocking represents a considerable source of error for general circulation models from both a numerical weather prediction and a climate perspective. In the present work, 20 years of global climate model (GCM) developments are analyzed from the special point of view of Northern Hemisphere atmospheric blocking simulation. Making use of a series of equivalent metrics, three generations of GCMs are compared. This encompasses a total of 95 climate models, many of which are different—successive—versions of the same model. Results from model intercomparison projects AMIP1 (1992), CMIP3 (2007), and CMIP5 (2012) are taken into consideration. Although large improvements are seen over the Pacific Ocean, only minor advancements have been achieved over the Euro-Atlantic sector. Some of the most recent GCMs still exhibit the same negative bia.
The relationship between income and food Consumption patterns in urban Nakuru

This thesis reports on a study carried out in Nakuru Municipality to determine the relationship between income status and food consumption patterns of its indigenous Africans. Residents from three different income groups, i.e., high, mid, and low were interviewed using a structured quest ionniare, to determine their food consumption patterns as well as their income status. Food cnsumption patterns were defined in terms of consumption frequency, expenditure, and the quantity consumed of selected food items. The consumption of two nutrients was also 1 ooked into. The results showed that there was a significant variation among the groups in the food consumption patterns. The findings also indicated a general trend in which consumption of most of the food items increased with rise in income. Their consumption was highest in the high income group and lowest in the low income group. There were afew foods however that differed from this general trend. The consumption frequency of maize and beans, and the amounts consumed of maize-meal, maize, beans, and sugar differed from the general trend. The expenditure on maize-meal,
Wildfire, landscape heterogeneity and fauna in fire-prone forests

Wildfire severity is an important driver on the occurrence of forest fauna 2-3 years post-fire, by its influence on the suitability of forest habitat in south-eastern Australia. Unexpectedly, landscape heterogeneity generated by fire had limited effects on most species, probably because animals were responding to the rapid regeneration of vegetation.
Revision of the Chironius bicarinatus complex (Serpentes: Colubridae): Redefined species boundaries and description of a new species

Abstract Currently, the proposed diagnoses for the Chironius bicarinatus complex reflect a wide variation in color pattern and pholidosis. Herein, we review the Chironius bicarinatus complex based on morphological and molecular data from a sample of 485 specimens covering the species distribution. Our results corroborate the recognition of C. bicarinatus and C. gouveai, and diagnose a distinct lineage without an available name. Thus, here we describe this new species restricted to the Baturité Massif, a relictual rainforest isolated in the Caatinga xerophytic domain, in the state of Ceará, northeastern Brazil. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by its unique combination of qualitative and quantitative morphological characters (scale counts, morphometric, color pattern), and is also supported by molecular and ecological evidence. Additionally, we rectify data on the distribution and morphological variability of C. gouveai to accurately infer the boundaries between this taxon and C. bicarinatus, which was not properly addressed. Finally, we discuss our results in the light of previous studies that suggest diversification hypotheses in the Atlantic Forest already detected for other taxa, highlighting the importance of conserving the areas of “Brejos de Altitude”, in northeastern Brazil, and the southern limit of Serra do Mar up to Serra do Tabuleiro, in southern Brazil.
Compositional music therapy: A systematic review of clinical trials

Purpose: Compositional music therapy involves the creation of original music by the therapist, the patient/client, or both together. The purpose of this systematic review is to examine techniques of compositional music therapy and the evidence for its therapeutic uses. Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed in performing this systematic review. Studies published in the last 25 years from January 1998 to December 2023 were identified through the use of the PubMed, PsycInfo, and Google Scholar databases, using the following keywords: Musi*, AND Therap*, AND Compos*. Two authors independently conducted a focused analysis and reached a final consensus on nine studies that met the specific selection criteria and passed the study quality checks. Results: Review yielded four key compositional music therapy techniques: songwriting, lyric analysis, instrumental composition, and therapeutic rap and singing. Eight out of the nine studies showed positive results for compositional music therapy. These techniques were associated with reduction in anxiety levels and an enhancement of positive affective states, the development of coping strategies, and improvement of emotional regulation. Conclusion: This review shows a body of positive evidence for compositional music therapy, highlighting its potential to foster psychological and physiological well-being across various demographics, especially in terms of coping strategies and emotion regulation. Future directions include the use of digital music technology for composition in music therapy.

Tonneleryon, a new gregarious polychelidan lobster from the early Toarcian Posidonia Shale of Holzmaden (Germany)

Polychelidan lobsters are decapod crustaceans characterized by a peculiar morphology: four to five pairs of claws and a flattened body. They were first discovered as fossils long before being discovered in modern deep sea environments. Many aspects of fossil and extant polychelidan biodiversity and ecology still remain poorly understood. This paper documents a new species and genus of polychelidan lobster, Tonneleryon schweigerti n. gen., n. sp. from the Toarcian of Holzmaden (Baden Wurttemberg, Germany). It also re-describes ? Coleia sinuata BEURLEN, 1928, which was confused until now with the new species. Actually, ? Coleia sinuata was described on the basis of a single, poorly preserved, juvenile specimen. Tonneleryon schweigerti is characterized by large eyes, which suggest its vision played an important role in its life-habits. Specimens of Tonneleryon schweigerti are generally preserved in cluster of several individuals, a characteristic unique to this species. All specimens in these accumulation are of similar size and do not possess the characteristics of exuviae such as a split median line or disjunction of carapace and first pleonite. They therefore probably represent a mass-mortality assemblage and suggest this species was gregarious.
Exploring the geology of the central Arctic Ocean; understanding the basin features in place and time

The history of the deep Arctic Ocean is largely unwritten. The means to understand this history may now be at hand. Bathymetry and potential field data have accumulated to the point it is possible to ask specific questions about the origins and evolution of the individual ridges and basins. The two primary basins have contrasting histories and deficits of understanding. The Eurasia Basin, formed during the Cenozoic, is well understood as far as the kinematics are concerned. The dynamics of ultraslow spreading, as observed on the Gakkel Ridge, are not well understood. It is widely thought that the Amerasia Basin formed during the Mesozoic. Most previous work has begun with a large-scale model of the basin tectonics and fit the ridges and basins it into this pattern. Enough is now known to establish the internal structure and relations from specific observations rather than a priori assumptions. This paper reviews knowledge about the central Arctic Ocean and proposes what should be done to develop a historical understanding of basin history. Ground truth from Arctic Ocean sediments is necessary. It will not be possible to establish the history of events, in geological time, until the sediments have been sampled and dated.
Unfavorable nutrient intakes in children up to school entry age: results from the nationwide German KiESEL study

Background Nutrition in the first years of life is a cornerstone for child development and long-term health, yet there is a lack of current data on energy and nutrient intake among toddlers and preschoolers in Germany. Objective To analyze energy and nutrient intake in toddlers (1- to 2-year-olds) and preschoolers (3- to 5-year-olds) in Germany and compare the results with the Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) by the European Food Safety Authority. Design Dietary intake was assessed by weighed food record data (3 + 1 day) of 890 children from the representative cross-sectional Children’s Nutrition Survey to Record Food Consumption (KiESEL), carried out in 2014–2017 as a module of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents Wave 2. For the calculation of energy and nutrient intake, the German Nutrient Database BLS 3.02, LEBTAB, and a supplement database were used. Results Median intakes of energy and most nutrients met or exceeded the DRVs in both toddlers and preschoolers. However, low intakes relative to DRVs were found for vitamin D (6–9% of DRV, including supplements) and iodine (57–65% of DRV). Age specific downward deviations were observed for iron intake in toddlers (75% of DRV) and for calcium intake in preschoolers (67–77% of DRV). In contrast, intakes were high for saturated fatty acids (SFA) (14–16 E%), mono-/disaccharides (60–87 g/day), and protein [2.1–2.6 g/(kg body weight*day)]. Conclusion Nutrient imbalances in toddlers and preschoolers in Germany, which are partly age-related, give rise to concern. Research is needed to determine if routine vitamin D supplementation should be extended beyond infancy. Public health efforts to increase the rate of use of iodized salt and to reduce the intake of SFA and mono-/disaccharides in children’s diets are to be strengthened.
Diet-Induced Severe Hyperhomocysteinemia Promotes Atherosclerosis Progression and Dysregulates the Plasma Metabolome in Apolipoprotein-E-Deficient Mice

Atherosclerosis and resulting cardiovascular disease are the leading causes of death in the US. Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), or the accumulation of the intermediate amino acid homocysteine, is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis, but the intricate biological processes mediating this effect remain elusive. Several factors regulate homocysteine levels, including the activity of several enzymes and adequate levels of their coenzymes, including pyridoxal phosphate (vitamin B6), folate (vitamin B9), and methylcobalamin (vitamin B12). To better understand the biological influence of HHcy on the development and progression of atherosclerosis, apolipoprotein-E-deficient (apoE−/− mice), a model for human atherosclerosis, were fed a hyperhomocysteinemic diet (low in methyl donors and B vitamins) (HHD) or a control diet (CD). After eight weeks, the plasma, aorta, and liver were collected to quantify methylation metabolites, while plasma was also used for a broad targeted metabolomic analysis. Aortic plaque burden in the brachiocephalic artery (BCA) was quantified via 14T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A severe accumulation of plasma and hepatic homocysteine and an increased BCA plaque burden were observed, thus confirming the atherogenic effect of the HHD. Moreover, a decreased methylation capacity in the plasma and aorta, indirectly assessed by the ratio of S-adenosylmethionine to S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAM:SAH) was detected in HHD mice together with a 172-fold increase in aortic cystathionine levels, indicating increased flux through the transsulfuration pathway. Betaine and its metabolic precursor, choline, were significantly decreased in the livers of HHD mice versus CD mice. Widespread changes in the plasma metabolome of HHD mice versus CD animals were detected, including alterations in acylcarnitines, amino acids, bile acids, ceramides, sphingomyelins, triacylglycerol levels, and several indicators of dysfunctional lipid metabolism. This study confirms the relevance of severe HHcy in the progression of vascular plaque and suggests novel metabolic pathways implicated in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis.
Dynamic Resource Allocation Approach for Interference Mitigation based on NOMA in Network Operating in Both Uplink and Downlink

The new notion of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) supports Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications, which play a very important role in 5G systems. Ultra-Dense-Network (UDN) and the new scheme Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) are two important concepts to meet the requirements of V2X services with their remarkable capacity. However, the concept of NOMA technology, which allows multiple vehicles to be served by the same resource, can lead to interference between different active users. In addition, the extensive placement of small base stations (SBS) in UDN causes severe interference and degrades the network performance. To solve these problems, interference mitigation is widely used to avoid interference in NOMA-based UDN. In this document, we suggested a dynamic resource allocation method named Intra-cell-Inter-cell Interference Mitigation for V2X communication for UDN in uplink and downlink sense (Intra-Inter IMVN). Our algorithm aims to achieve five principals objectives, namely applying the same algorithm for both downlink and uplink modes, reducing the degree of interference, improving network performance in aspects like error rates and throughput, minimizing cost and delay when using this alternative, combining dynamic metrics to support many V2X scenarios and requirements, and dealing with two categories of interference such as inter-cell interference and intra-cell interference. Numerical results demonstrate that our suggested Intra-Inter IMVN approach offers higher performance compared to other existing algorithms as a function of various parameters.
Cooperative learning implementation among elementary Trust School Teacher Program

Malaysia’s education system is continuously transforming to provide pupils with 21st-century skills. Cooperative learning is viewed as a studentcentered approach that helps pupils develop 21st-century learner characteristics. This study aims to identify the relationship between teachers’ content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and technological knowledge with the implementation of cooperative learning. A total of 100 elementary Trust School Program teachers in Selangor were involved in this quantitative study, which comprises a correlational design. Respondents were randomly selected to answer the teachers’ cooperative learning questionnaire (TCLQ) and the content, pedagogical, and technological knowledge questionnaire. The findings obtained indicate that teachers’ content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and technological knowledge are at a high level. No significant difference was reported between teachers’ knowledge and implementation of cooperative learning based on years of teaching experience in Trust School Program. The result also revealed a positive and strong relationship between content knowledge and cooperative learning implementation (r=0.551, p=0.000), as well as a positive and strong relationship between pedagogical knowledge and cooperative learning implementation (r=0.603, p=0.000). However, a positive and moderate relationship was reported between teachers’ technological knowledge and cooperative learning implementation (r=0.384, p=0.000). This study can help raise awareness about the elements that educational policymakers and educators need to take into account during cooperative learning.
Improved strain sensing capability of nano-carbon free-standing buckypapers based strain gauges

Nano-carbons including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs) have been proved to have good strain sensing capability, but they are often made together with flexible substrates, which may limit their multifunctional applications such as internal sensors. In this study, free-standing CNT/GNP buckypapers (BPs) with various weight ratios were prepared by filtrating their suspensions. Relative resistance variation depending on tensile strain of the obtained BPs was examined to evaluate their strain sensing capability, e.g. gauge factor (GF) and linearity (r2) within the whole testing strain range. Results show that enhanced strain sensing capability of the hybrid BPs is obtained, with a maximum GF of 8.18, and r2 of 0.999, respectively, in a relatively large strain range from 0% to 2%, when the GNP loading reaches 50 wt%. Moreover, in situ strain sensing capability of the hybrid BPs was practically monitored by sticking them onto the surfaces of epoxy resin. As expected, the hybrid BPs exhibit a relatively high in situ GF of 10.83 and r2 of 0.987, as well as excellent repeatability and stability. Excellent strain sensing capability of the free-standing BPs reveal that they have potential applications in the fields of internal and external strain or damage monitoring.
