Adhesiolysis in Women with Chronic Pelvic Pain and a Temporal Resolution of Pain

Study Objectives: To evaluate the duration of pain improvement after laparoscopic and/or robotic assisted adhesiolysis in women with prior abdominal or pelvic surgeries that have been diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain with suspected pelvic and/or abdominal adhesions. Design: Retrospective Cohort (Canadian Task Force Level II) Setting: Hospital based practice of gynecological surgery and pelvic pain, St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix AZ Patients: Women with prior surgery who underwent laparoscopic or robotic assisted adhesiolysis for chronic pelvic pain secondary to pelvic and/or abdominal adhesions between April 2012-Febuary 2016. Intervention; Adhesiolysis performed via laparoscopic or robotic assisted, defined as 30 minutes or greater of operating time needed to restore normal anatomy. Measurements and Main Results: Eighty-eight women were identified with Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 4410 and 58550 for adhesiolysis. Women > 18 years old who had prior surgery, and symptoms of pelvic pain were included in the study. Women were excluded if they were found to have another source of pelvic pain, malignancy, surgical complications, co-surgery with another specialty, and conversion to laparotomy, and organ resection. The average age at the time of adhesiolysis was 39 years old (range of 19-57). The average number of abdominal surgeries was 1.42 (range 1-4). Fifty-six patients were excluded for concomitant procedures. Thirty-patients patients meet eligibility criteria, of those; seventeen patients had previously undergone at least one adhesiolysis procedure for the treatment of chronic pelvic pain. All 17 of these patients had improvement of their pain. Fourteen of the 17 patients had 2 adhesiolysis procedures with the median length of time between the first and second procedure (improvement in pain after procedure) being 24 months (range of 6-162 months). Three of 14 underwent a third adhesiolysis procedure with the median pain free interval of 24 months. Two of the 3 patients had a fourth adhesiolysis procedure with the average pain free interval being 24 months prior to the 4th procedure. Fifteen of the 32 patients, who underwent their first adhesiolysis treatment, 10 had resolution of pain and 5 patients had a significant improvement of pain. Of this cohort the earliest reported return of pain was 6 months, and the longest total pain free interval was 13 years and 6 months. Conclusion: In patients who present with pelvic pain and prior abdominal or pelvic surgery adhesiolysis may be associated with a temporal improvement of pain.
Fixed-Time Consensus Tracking of Multiagent System Under DOS Attack With Event-Triggered Mechanism

This paper focuses on fixed-time event-triggered consensus tracking of high-order MAS over digraph and under DOS attack. The considered DOS attack is divided into connectivity-maintained attack and connectivity-broken attack. To detect connectivity-broken attack under event-triggered environment, a new cyberattack detection algorithm is presented. Next, using cyberattack detection results, a fixed-time event-triggered distributed observer is developed to estimate the leader’s states in the presence of DOS attack, which conducts event-triggered update in the normal condition and under connectivity-maintained attack and stops updating in the presence of connectivity-broken attack. Then, an adaptive event-triggered prescribed-time dynamic surface consensus tracking control protocol is proposed to eliminate mismatched disturbances caused by estimation error and achieve prescribed-time convergence of the tracking error. Stability analysis proves fixed-time convergence of the developed consensus tracking strategy and non-zeno analysis shows the developed distributed observer and consensus tracking control strategy exclude zeno behavior. This paper contributes to proposing a fixed-time leader-follower consensus control strategy for MAS under DOS attack via event-triggered approach, which eliminates the effect of DOS attack, achieves consensus tracking within a fixed time and reduces resources consumption. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness and superiority of the developed consensus tracking approach.
The Implementation of Flipped Classroom to Improving Students' Writing Skills at University of Brawijaya

This study aims to investigate the effect of the flipped classroom on students' writing skills, active involvement in the classroom, and students' perception of flipped classrooms. By using a pre-experimental design, this study involved 27 fourth-semester students of Class B, Educational English Department of the Faculty of Cultural Studies, University of Brawijaya Malang, in the academic year 2019-2020. The participants were selected through cluster random techniques. The data was collected from pre-test and post-test questionnaires, field notes, and video documentation. The results suggest that the student's writing skills were improved by 26.222 mean scores by using flipped classrooms, from 52.44 scores of pre-tests to 78.67 scores in the post-test. Besides, flipped classroom meth- od has been observed to help the student be more active in self-learning online. The student also presents a positive perception towards flipped classrooms in improving writing skills, with score of 73.56.
Risk assessment of heavy metals in mangrove trees (Avicennia marina) and associated sea water of Ras Mohammed Protectorate, Red Sea, Egypt

Current population and development trends are leading to an acute deterioration of the environmental state of the oceans (Hassan et al., 2022). One of the tools to manage the world’s seas more sustainably is marine protected areas (MPAs). MPAs are legally designated areas to protect and conserve valuable marine and coastal biodiversity and associated ecosystem services and cultural values. There are rising calls to conserve 30% of the ocean by 2030, and MPAs provide a natural answer to support international efforts to adapt to and mitigate climate change. In 2019, there were 7.59% MPAs worldwide (UNEP-WCMC and IUCN, 2022). Egypt established 29 protected areas that collectively accounted for 15% (150,000 km 2 ) of its total land area. Seven of these are marine; El-Salum, which was declared in the Egyptian Mediterranean costal water in 2010, and the remaining six, which together ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article History: Received: Aug. 18, 2022 Accepted: Aug. 28, 2022 Online: Sept. 9, 2022 _______________
Electronic properties of HfTe2

The authors report measurements of the transport properties of HfTe2 and find these to be characteristic of a semimetal. They consider that this semimetallic behaviour arises from a small overlap of the tellurium p valence band and the hafnium d conduction band and estimate a band overlap of about 0.3 eV. Measurements of the conductivity and Hall coefficient show an increase in the band overlap and carrier concentration with pressure. Although there are some anomalies in the low-temperature transport properties at ambient pressure, they can find no evidence from either X-ray or electron diffraction for any associated structural phase transition such as that found in TiSe2. However, at pressures above 45 kbar there is a slow transition to a higher-resistivity phase.
Orbits versus Star Formation Histories: A Progress Report

Milky Way dwarf companions and satellites of distant spirals seem to show a preference for polar orbits. We suggest that five out of six M31 dwarf spheroidal companions as well as two dwarf irregulars may also be located near a polar plane. We briefly discuss preliminary results from a statistical approach to study correlations between star formation histories and orbits of Local Group dwarf galaxies, such as a possible correlation between star formation episodes and galaxy separations. 1. Polar Orbits Preferred? Dwarf galaxies are believed to have been more numerous at earlier times but to have been largely accreted since then by larger galaxies. Hierarchical merger scenarios suggest that they contributed significantly to the build-up of more massive galaxies in galaxy groups and clusters. Galaxies on polar orbits are more stable against accretion. Many of the satellite galaxies observed today may be on polar or near-polar orbits ensuring their survival over a longer time period. Zaritsky et al. (1997) found a tendency for higher concentrations of satellite galaxies in the polar regions of distant massive spirals. The future of galaxy groups and clusters may be continued accretion until the dwarf supply is used up. The Milky Way's dwarf satellites and a number of halo globular clusters appear to lie along two (e.g., Majewski 1994) or more (e.g., Lynden-Bell & Lynden-Bell 1995) polar great circles, possibly indicating a common origin as remnants of a larger parent galaxy since accreted by the Milky Way. Do the satellites of the most massive spiral galaxy in the Local Group, M31, also show indications of one (or several) preferred polar orbital planes?
EFFECTS OF FIELD TRIP METHOD ON STUDENT'S ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND RETENTION IN BASIC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.

This study investigated the effects of field trip method on students’ achievement and retention in Basic Science and Technology among junior secondary school students in Yala, Cross River Nigeria. It also considered gender and cognitive ability levels of students as moderators. To achieve the objectives of this study three(3) research questions and three(3) null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. A non-randomized pre-test post-test control group design was adopted for the study. The population size of the study was 3,546 while the sample size was 100 (52 males and 48 females), in two intact classes from two co-educational public secondary schools in Yala. The two classes were assigned to experimental and control groups respectively. Students in the experimental group were taught environmental hazards component using field trip method while the control group were taught using expository method. The instrument used for data collection was Basic Science and Technology Achievement Test (BSTAT) on environmental hazards. The instrument was validated and subjected to test-retest reliability. Its reliability co-efficient was 0.78, obtained using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). The data obtained from the tests were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that field trip had significant effect on students’ achievement. Also, students taught environmental hazards using field trip retained significantly higher than those taught with expository method. Gender had no significant effect on students’ achievement and retention in the concept of environmental hazards when taught using field trip method. There was significant effect of field trip method on students’ cognitive ability levels. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that Basic Science and Technology teachers should use field trip method effectively in teaching environmental hazards component of Basic Science and Technology curriculum.
Radial evolution of the high/low frequency breakpoint in magnetic field spectra

The spectra of magnetic field variations in the solar wind show different behavior in two frequency regions; a high frequency region in which the spectral exponent is about -5/3 and a low frequency region in which it is typically -1. The two types of variations must arise from different processes and a clue to the relationship between the spectral regions lies in understanding the behavior of the breakpoint between the spectral regions. Studies of the average behavior of spectra have shown that the break point occurs at about 3.5 hours at 1 AU. It is also known that, on average, the breakpoint occurs at lower frequencies with larger heliocentric distances. Ideally however, instead of the average properties of the spectra, we would like to know how the breakpoint evolves in particular samples of the solar wind as they propagate to larger heliocentric distances. In the study reported here we take advantage of the fact that, in 1974, Pioneer 10 (4.4 AU) and Pioneer 11 (5.6 AU) were close to being co-aligned and being aligned with the Earth. Solar wind observed at Earth can be closely matched with solar wind later observed at P10 and P11. We here compare the breakpoint observed at Earth with that observed at Pioneers 10 and 11 for matched samples of the wind.
Environmental drivers of space-time dynamics in floodplain vegetation: grasslands as habitat for megafauna in Bardia National Park (Nepal)

: Disturbance-dependent grasslands, often associated with hydromorphological and fire dynamics, are threatened, especially in subtropical climates. In the Nepalese and Indian Terai Arc Landscape at the foot of the Himalayas, natural and 10 cultural grasslands serve a viable role for rhinos ( Rhinoceros unicornis ) and the prey of the Royal Bengal tiger ( Panthera tigris ). The grasslands are vulnerable for encroachment of forest. We aimed to establish the effects of environmental drivers, in particular river discharge, river channel dynamics, precipitation, and forest fires, on space-time dynamics of these grasslands. The study area is the floodplain of the eastern branch of the Karnali River and adjacent western part of Bardia National Park. We created two annual time series of land cover with the use of field data, remotely sensed LANDSAT imagery 15 and a supervised classification model. Additionally, we analysed aerial photographs of 1964 and the pattern of grassland patches. From 1964 to 2019, grasslands saw a transition to forest and grassland patches decreased in size and number. Outside the floodplain, successional setbacks of grassland coincide with extreme precipitation events. Within the floodplain, successional setbacks of grassland correlate with the magnitude of the annual peak discharge. However, this relationship is absent after 2009 due to a westward shift of the main discharge channel of the bifurcated Karnali River with a vast expansion 20 of alluvial tall grasslands ( Saccharum spontaneum dominant) as consequence. Since 2009, hydromorphological processes in the floodplain have become more static. This is supported by an observed decrease in water coverage (-53%) in the dry season, an absence of successional setbacks, and decreased morphodynamics of river channels. For forest fires, the surface area that annually burns is observed to be more variable in recent years and the maximum extent affected by fires is in an increasing trend. Because the hydromorphological processes in the floodplain have become more static, other sources of disturbances - 25 ephemeral streams, anthropogenic maintenance, grazing and fires – are more paramount to prevent encroachment of grasslands. Altogether, our findings underscore that a change in the environmental drivers impact the surface area and heterogeneity of grassland patches in the landscape, which can lead to cascading effects for the grassland-dependent fauna.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of midwives

This study was conducted to determine midwives' psychological impact levels of the COVID-19 pandemic related to uncertainty, fear, emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and depression. The majority of midwives had mild to moderate levels of anxiety 170 (43.7%), about half of participants had high emotional exhaustion 197 (50.6%), mild depression 177 (45.5%), moderate worry 178 (45.8%), and mild to moderate fear 239 (61.4%). Working in a hospital, low income, increased workload, insufficient protection equipment, and the presence of disease among parents and relatives were independent risk factors for anxiety and emotional exhaustion. Moreover, low educational level working in a hospital, increased duty hours, low income, increased workload, and pregnancy were independent risk factors for depression. In addition, increased duty hours contributed as a worry independent risk factor. At the same time, independent risk factors of fear were Increased duty hours, insufficient protective equipment, and pregnancy. The COVID-19 pandemic has induced anxiety, emotional exhaustion, depression, worry, and fear among midwives. Psychological intervention for midwives needs special attention to prevent, alleviate or treat psychological impact.

Stochastic parameterisation schemes based on rigorous limit theorems

In this study, theorem-based, generally applicable stochastic parameterisation schemes are developed and applied to a quasi-geostrophic model of extratropical atmospheric lowfrequency variability (LFV). Hasselmann’s method is developed from limiting theorems for slow-fast systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and applied to this highdimensional model of intermediate complexity comprised of partial differential equations with complicated boundary conditions. Seamless, efficient algorithms for integrating the parameterised models are developed, which require only minimal changes to the full model algorithm. These algorithms may be readily adapted to a range of climate models of greater complexity in parameterising the effects of fast, sub-grid scale processes on the resolved scales. For comparison, the Majda-Timofeyev-Vanden-Eijnden (MTV) parameterisation method is applied to this model. The seamless algorithms are first adapted to probe the multiple regime behaviour that characterises the full model LFV. In contrast to the conclusions of a previous study, it is found that the multiple regime behaviour is not the result of a nonlinear interaction between the leading two planetary-scale modes, but rather is the result of interactions among these
EFFECT OF SELFING AND SELECTION ON SOME BULB CHARACTERS OF THE ONION “GIZA 20 “

This investigation was carried out at Shandweel Agric. Res. Station, Sohag, Egypt, from 1996 to 1998 seasons to study the effect of self-pollination and one cycle of selection on some bulb characters and yield components of Giza-20 cultivar. Percentage of single growing point, single center bulbs and those free from pink flesh, were significantly increased in the S 1 population, while percentage of internal doubling, average bulb weight, external doubling, yield of culls and total yield were decreased. Predicted gain due to selection was more than realized in all selected populations and for all studied characters, except free from pink flesh in the three selected populations. The differences between predicted and realized responses were significant in all characters except external doubling, bolting, marketable and exportable yields in the three selected populations.
Analysis of Stock Data Based on Clustering Method

: Number of researches on stock data are based on machine learning method. However, former researches mainly applied all kinds of supervised learning method as well as some kind of basial clustering method, such as neuro net-work and k-means algorithm. We use an emerging clustering algorithm called AP algorithm to cluster the A-share stock data before 2017. And finally, according to the market performance, the selected 69 A-share stocks are divided into 9 classification clusters based on their market performances. Such classification has a strong guiding role for investment decision-making.
Mechanics of isolated extended bodies in classical field theories

This thesis discusses a number of issues related to the description and motion of extended matter distributions in certain classical field theories. Particular emphasis is placed on general relativity and Maxwell theory, although many results also apply in related formalisms. They are obtained by extending and applying a series of ideas originally developed by W. G. Dixon to understand the mechanics of isolated bodies. Since this formalism is not well-known, we provide an extensive review in a unified form. This elucidates the structure of an object’s stress-energy tensor and electromagnetic current vector. Multipole decompositions of these objects are also studied in considerable detail, and are designed to automatically “factor out” the relevant conservation laws. In the case of charge-current vectors, we show how to extend these results to also take into account the assumed smoothness and compactness of the physical matter. This allows essentially all reasonable current configurations with a given total charge to be parameterized without any reference to the spacetime structure. Such constructions provide natural methods for comparing the properties of current distributions in different systems. They also simplify the study of “rigid” currents. It is found that such objects cannot generally exist without allowing for the presence of singularities. An even stronger result applies to the nonexistence of rigid number density vectors in systems where the total number of particles is fixed. These formal developments are applied in various way to study the motions of various compact extended bodies. The first case considered here is that of an uncharged test mass embedded in a spatially-flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. It is shown that even with zero (global) momentum, such an object may adjust its mass and trajectory merely by changing shape. Mass shifts are in fact unavoidable in almost all cases, and could be significant for galactic superclusters. This effect is due to changes in an object’s gravitational potential and internal energies; an explanation which is made precise without any appeal to linearizations or symmetry principles. Lastly, we study the influence of a charge’s internal structure on its motion in flat spacetime. Interactions with a body’s own electromagnetic field are taken into account, and allowances are made for a large class of shapes, density distributions, internal currents, elasticities, and spins. Even if the angular momentum remains small, many such objects are found to be affected by large self-interaction effects beyond the standard Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac force. Limits where these effects become negligible are found to be quite restrictive, and depend on the boundary conditions (e.g. retarded or radiative) used to derive the self-field.

to research , and because of the flexibility and freedom offered during a PhD. Further, the study analyzed how PhD students cope with stress. Engaging in physical activities or spending time with family and friends were the most common coping strategies used, followed by work routines (like scheduling time for deep work and breaks) and seeking assistance from other PhD students. To decrease the stress factors and negative health outcomes, we recommend in-corporating personal as well as organizational measurements in the university setting . Through kick -off events and personal development workshops , PhD students should be made aware of the pote ntial stress factors and coping strategies. Mentoring programs with p ostdocs can further support the doctoral students. On an organizational level, the knowledge about the elements of work stress should be incorporated in the recruiting process and supervi sor workshops.
