The Hidden Pandemic: Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Trauma Cases Due to Domestic Violence Admitted to the Biggest Level-One Trauma Center in Austria

Background: An alarming increase in domestic violence was reported during the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. The aim of this study is to investigate changes in the frequency and the nature of domestic violence at the largest level-one trauma center in Austria. Methods: All patients admitted to our institution with domestic violence injuries 15 months before and after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic were included. For our analysis, we investigated the frequency of trauma patients after domestic violence in relation to all other trauma patients. Furthermore, age, sex, citizenship, injury pattern, injured body regions, injury mechanism, offender–victim relationship, and hospitalization rate were also analyzed. Results: Among all trauma patients admitted, the ratio of patients who reported domestic violence injuries increased from 0.465% to 0.548% since the start of the pandemic. In addition, out of the total count of domestic violence victims, the percentage of Austrian citizens increased significantly from 51.2% to 60.6% (p = 0.016). All other parameters showed no significant changes pre and post-pandemic. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to a relative increase in patients with domestic violence injuries at the largest trauma unit in Austria, along with a significant increase among Austrian citizens. The remaining study parameters did not differ significantly, indicating that the frequency changed during the pandemic but not the underlying pattern of domestic violence.
Capillary forces between equally sized moving glass beads: an experimental study

The mechanical response of near-surface unsaturated soils in large-strain environments such as earthquakes, landslides or debris flows is highly dependent on capillary forces. While the evolution of capillary forces under static loading has been studied in detail, the dynamic response of unsaturated soils associated with the viscous deformation and rupture of interparticle liquid menisci at large strains is not as well characterized. Particle-scale pullout tests were conducted to achieve better understanding of how separation rates and distances contribute to capillary force evolution and meniscus rupture between two equally sized glass spheres. Capillary forces evolve nonmonotonically in a manner that first increases and then decreases with increasing separation distances and is dependent on the initial meniscus geometry and wettability of the particles. The rate of capillary force reduction and particle separation distance at liquid bridge rupture are functions of the meniscus volume and rate of particl.
Genetic Distance for Genotype Barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) using RAPD-PCR Technology.

Abstract. The study targets to know the genetic Distance of fifteen genotypes of six-row barley (Ibaa99 , Alhadar , Alkheer , Alwarkaa , Buraq , Amal , Shuaa , Rehan , Samir , Arevate , Acsad1811 , Acsad1816 , Acsad1818 , Acsad1827 , Acsad1840 ) Based on the RAPD technique using fifteen primers, The primers used produced 111 band, including 94 band for variant alleles, with a rate of 84.68%, The molecular weights of the prefixes ranged between 200-2000 bp,. The primer OPB-14 gave the highest number of variant sites, reaching 10 bands, and a high discriminatory ability of the primer, which amounted to 10.64, the highest percentage of variant alleles in the primers (OP B-14, OP C-08, OP D-03, OP D-18, and OP F-05) was (100%), and the primer OP C-16 gave the highest efficiency of 11.209. The genetic divergence values showed that the largest genetic divergence was between the Alkheer cultivar and the Acsad1840 genotype (49.00), while the least genetic divergence was between the two genotypes Acsad1818 and Acsad1827, with a value of (9.00), In addition, the results of the kinship tree analysis of the genotypes were divided into two main groups, where Ibaa99 were in the first main group, while the other genotypes were in the second main group. From the results obtained, it is possible to rely on genetically divergent structures in breeding programs by introducing them into crosses with other varieties to obtain good productive characteristics.
Geological Characteristics and Prospecting of the Baishan Molybdenum Deposit in Hami, Xinjiang

The Baishan molybdenum deposit is located in the Sanchakou-Baishan porphyry copper molybdenum ore belt, which belongs to the southeast edge of circum Zhungaer porphyry ore belt. This deposit occurs in the exo contact zone of the granite, which consists of biotite felsic hornfels originated from the Early Carboniferous Gandun Formation. The orebodies occur as veins, lens and layers, 100~3000 m long, 2~38.4 m thick, with average Mo grade of 0.03%~0.78%. Ore metals consist of mainly molybdenum with accompanying copper, silver, and rhenium. Currently the proven metal Mo reserve is 0.3 M tons. Based on geological, geophysical and geochemical exploration information, the neighboring areas in the south, west and east parts of the current ore zone is promising for further mineral prospecting.

The mountain landscape attractiveness together with the natural and anthropic favorable tourism potential of Suceava county, characterized by numerous natural reserves, many of them unique in the world, by the variety, density and value of religious and architecture monuments, to which the inhabitants’ hospitability is added, are conditions for Suceava county to be an important tourism destination, both for the Romanian and foreign tourists. In the present approach we attempted a short review of the natural and anthropic potential of Suceava county, followed by the analysis of the main indicators of tourism activity in the county in the period 2001–2014.
Optical and Electrical Properties of Nano Magnesium Oxide Doped with Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) Thin Films

A thin film of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) polymer doped with different weight ratios of magnesium oxide nanoparticles produced by using the low-temperature hydrothermal method was prepared, and the morphology of the doped thin film was verified using a scanning electron microscope and an atomic force microscope. The X-ray diffraction pattern showed that magnesium oxide has a multi cubic crystal structure with a diffraction peak of high density associated with the level (200) (at the diffraction angle of 42.69◦) and a crystal drop size of 25 nm. Measurements of the Fourier A transformation of the infrared spectrum of a polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer doped with metal oxides was carried out. It showed a clear difference from the pure polymer, where a (Mg-O-Mg) bond appeared at a wavelength of 450 cm^-1 to confirm the effect of MgO addition on the chemical bonding of polyvinylpyrrolidone. Optical properties, including absorbance, maximum wavelength, and energy gap, have been studied. Determined by ultraviolet examination. The band gap decreased when MgO was doped with PVP films, and the Hall coefficient effect was used to calculate the electrical properties, including the conductivity, kinetics of charge carriers, and their type. The highest conductivity was (0.1*10^-2 Sm), and the tainted membrane was of the n type), where it can be used in optical applications.
The Role of High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy in Exercise Testing and Pulmonary Rehabilitation: A Review of the Current Literature

High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has recently emerged as a crucial therapeutic strategy for hypoxemic patients both in acute and chronic settings. Indeed, HFNC therapy is able to deliver higher fractions of inspired oxygen (FiO2) with a heated and humidified gas flow ranging from 20 up to 60 L per minute, in a more comfortable way for the patient in comparison with Conventional Oxygen Therapy (COT). In fact, the flow keeps the epithelium of the airways adequately moisturized, thus positively affecting the mucus clearance. Finally, the flow is able to wash out the carbon dioxide in the dead space of the airways; this is also enhanced by a modest positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) effect. Recent evidence has shown applications of HFNC in exercise training and chronic settings with promising results. In this narrative review, we explored how HFNC might contribute to enhancing outcomes of exercise training and pulmonary rehabilitation among patients dealing with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung diseases, and lung cancer.

Inhibition of the STIM1/Orai1 Signaling Pathway by Glycine Betaine Mitigates Myocardial Hypertrophy in Spontaneous Hypertension Rats

Background Spontaneous hypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases morbidity and mortality. Glycine betaine (GB) is a natural vitamin that has the potential to lower blood pressure. This work attempted to investigate the role and mechanisms of GB in spontaneous hypertension. Methods Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) were administrated with 100, 200, or 400 mg/kg of GB by gavage or combined with by injection of lentivirus-mediated STIM1 overexpression vector. The heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart weight/body weight (HW/BW) of rats were monitored. The pathological changes in myocardium were examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining and Masson staining. The expression of genes and proteins was detected by quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Results GB at 200 and 400 mg/kg reduced the HR, SBP, DBP and HW/BW in SHRs. GB decreased the cross-sectional area and fibrotic area in the myocardium and downregulated the expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and β-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC) in the myocardium of SHRs. It indicated that GB treatment effectively alleviated myocardial hypertrophy in SHRs. Additionally, GB treatment repressed the expression of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and calcium release-activated calcium channel protein 1 (Orai1) in the myocardium of SHRs. STIM1 overexpression reversed GB treatment-mediated inhibition of myocardial hypertrophy in SHRs. Conclusions In conclusion, GB repressed STIM1/Orai1 signaling pathway, which contributed to alleviating myocardial hypertrophy in SHRs. Thus, our study provides a theoretical basis for GB as an antihypertensive drug.
Global process and local ecology: how should we explain differences between the Hadza and the !Kung?

In this chapter we discuss explanations for the diversity of behavior of contemporary forager populations. Other contributors document vari­ ation among southern African savanna Bushman groups, and central African forest Pygmies. We confine ourselves to trying to explain some differences between two savanna groups who have been studied quanti­ tatively, the Hadza and the ! Kung. We further confine ourselves to discussing two kinds of explanation that are currently considered to be opposed to one another, behavioral ecology (Smith and Winterhalder 1992), and political economy/historical revisionism as presented to hunter-gatherer researchers by Wilmsen (1989). We believe that explaining variation in human behavior is a major aim of anthropology, and that success in this task is a good test o f any anthropological theory. We choose the Hadza foragers of northern Tanzania (Woodburn 1968a, 1988 and elsewhere) because we work with them (O ’Connell et al. 1988a, b, 1990, 1991; Hawkes et al. 1989, 1991; Blurton Jones et al. 1989, 1992). We choose the ! Kung of north-western Botswana because so much quantitative work on their behavior in the 1960s and early 1970s has been published (Lee and DeVore 1976; Lee 1979; Howell 1979). Both live in sub-Saharan African savanna, exploiting some of the same plant and animal genera, hunting with bow and poison arrows, and collecting with digging stick and kaross. While other authors attend to variation within a single culture, we generalize here, to compare two cultures. Except when reporting census data, when we write “Hadza” we mean those we have worked with between 1984 and 1992, living in the T l i ’ika region of Hadza country. We limit our main effort to explaining five points of difference between the Hadza and the ! Kung: 1 Hadza children collect food for themselves while ! Kung children seldom do (Blurton Jones et al. 1989; Obst 1912 and many others since; Draper 1976; Draper and Cashdan 1988).
Equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics study of phenol adsorption onto Phoenix dactylifera leaf adsorbents

Phenol is known to be toxic pollutant causing adverse impact on human health and environment. Thus, the present study aimed to remove the phenol from aqueous solutions utilising natural palm date natural leaf (NL) and palm date leaf chemically activated with H 3 PO 4 activated carbon leaf (ACL). Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy are techniques used to characterize the sorbents. The phenol removal capacity of NL and ACL was investigated in batch experiments taking phenol content (10–70 mg/L), time (15–240 min), pH (2–12), adsor-bent dose (0.1–0.6 g), and temperature (25°C–65°C). The maximum decontamination efficiencies of (42.4%) and (91.5%) on NL and ACL, respectively, were obtained at a pH of 6, temperature 25°C and adsorbent dose of 0.4 g for each. The kinetic and equilibrium adsorption data of phenol fit well to the pseudo-second-order model and Temkin isotherm, respectively. Furthermore, the utmost phe - nol sorption capacity of 7.645 and 13.369 mg/g was attained for NL and ACL, respectively. The results of studied diffusion models revealed that the mechanism of phenol adsorption onto NL and ACL was not only controlled by film diffusion but also by intraparticle diffusion. Also, a thermodynamic study identified the non-spontaneous and exothermic nature of adsorption. The research determined that NL and ACL could be promising and potential adsorbents for the removal of phenol from contaminated water.
Spatial and temporal variability in the relative contribution of king mackerel ( Scomberomorus cavalla ) stocks to winter mixed fisheries off South Florida

K ing mackerel (Scomberomorus cavalla) are large coastal pelagic scombrids distributed from Massachusetts to Brazil in the western Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean Sea (McEachran and Fechhelm, 2005). They support important commercial and recreational fisheries throughout the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and in the Atlantic Ocean (Atlantic) off the southeastern United States. King mackerel currently are managed in U.S. waters as two migratory groups, one resident in the GOM and one off the southeast U.S. coast. The two-stock migratory group or twostock model of population structure was adopted in the early 1980s based on tagging data indicating fish from the respective regions had distinct migratory pathways (Sutter et al., 1991). Subsequent studies demonstrated growth differences (DeVries and Grimes, 1997) and genetic distinctiveness (Gold et al., 1997, 2002) between the stocks. Assessment and management of U.S. king mackerel stocks is complicated because of the seasonal mixing between GOM and Atlantic fish. Mark-recapture (Sutter et al., 1991) and catch-per-unit-of-effort studies (Trent et al., 1987) have indicated that winter migrations of king mackerel occur from both the eastern GOM and Atlantic to south Florida where the mixed stock is targeted by a winter fishery. Thus, an area that stretches from the Volusia-Flagler county line in northeast Florida to the Monroe-Collier county line in southwest Florida was defined in the early 1980s by the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery Management Councils as a mixing zone between the two stocks (GMFMC and SAFMC, 1985; Fig. 1). From April to October, all king mackerel landings in the mixing zone are attributed to the Atlantic stock, and landings from November through March are attributed to the GOM stock.

Ex vivo evaluation of the accuracy of four electronic foraminal locators

Background To evaluate the accuracy of four different Electronic Foraminal Locators (EFLs): Root ZX II (J. Morita, Tokyo, Japan), Romiapex A15 (Romidan, Kiryat-Ono, Israel), FinePex (Schuster, Porto Alegre, Brazil), and VDW Gold (VDW, Munich, Germany), in determining root canal length. Material and Methods Twenty-seven human single-rooted teeth had their crowns sectioned at the cementoenamel junction, and the actual length of the tooth was obtained by visualizing with an operative microscope a #15 file placed adjacent to the apical foramen. The teeth were instrumented with R25 and R40 files, and at the end of each instrumentation, measurements of the lengths of the root canals were made with #25 and #40 files. The data were statistically analyzed by ANOVA and chi-square tests and were considered significant when P<0.05. All devices showed a tendency to underestimate measurements by 0.25 mm diameter. Results The mean accuracy of the Root ZX II appliance was statistically lower than the other EFLs (P<0.001). For the 0.40 mm diameter, the mean accuracy of the Romiapex A15 appliance was statistically higher than the other LEFs (P<0.001). However, when the diameter was 0.40 mm, only the Romiapex A15 device tended to overmeasure. Regarding the acceptable limits of variation, it was observed that the devices showed similar efficiency in determining odontometry (P>0.05), both with diameters of 0.25 mm and 0.40 mm. Conclusions It was concluded that the devices presented similar and adequate efficacy when observing the limits of acceptable measurements. It was observed that increasing the apical diameter did not influence the accuracy of EFLs in determining root canal lengths.

Effect of Feed Restriction on Linear Body Measurements and Weight Changes of Pregnant Rabbit Does

A four- week study was conducted to determine the effect of varying levels and periods of feed restriction during pregnancy on linear body measurements and weight changes of rabbit does. A total of thirty six rabbit does (36) were grouped into three consisting of 12 rabbits does each. These rabbit does were exposed to three levels of quantitative feed restriction (0, 15 and 30%) at three different periods of gestation (15-19, 20-24 and 25-29 days). Data collected on performance and linear body measurements were arranged in a 3x3 factorial experimental layout and then subjected to completely randomised design using (SAS, 1999). The result showed significant differences (p 0.05) affected. In this study, it was revealed that the levels and periods of feed restriction do not have any negative effect on linear body measurement of pregnant rabbit does.
