Characteristics of alcohol-related trauma: a retrospective analysis of 1997 cases

Objective To analyze and summarize the epidemiological characteristics of patients with alcohol-related trauma through a large dataset. Methods The medical records of 46338 patients with pre-hospital trauma in 2019 were exported from Suzhou pre-hospital first aid information system. The medical history was matched by regular expression, and the trauma cases including "drinking", "drunk driving" and "alcoholism" were defined as alcohol-related trauma (ART). Statistical analysis was performed from the respects of age distribution, sex composition, injury mechanism, onset time and injury condition. Results 1997 patients with alcohol-related trauma were screened, including 1791 males, accounting for 89.68%. The age in the male group was older than that in the female group [median (IQR)]: 39 (16) vs. 31 (15), p < 0.001. The top three injury mechanisms were fall down (32%), violence (28.49%) and traffic accidents (24.89%). In terms of time distribution, alcohol-related injuries mostly occurred at from 20:00 to 00:00 and Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The shock risk of violent was significantly higher than that of other types of trauma. Taking traffic accidents as a reference baseline, we calculated the crude OR and the adjusted OR with the adjustment for sex and age, which were 2.57, 95%(1.54–4.30), p < 0.001; 2.39, 95%CI(1.42–4.01), p = 0.001, repspectively. Conclusion ART mainly occurs in male population and the average age of male is higher than that of female, and it is more common in falls, violence and traffic accidents, especially from 20:00 to 00:00 at night and on weekends. Violence can more easily lead to shock than other types of trauma, which suggests more serious injury and worse outcome.
Predicting Genetic Demography of Rear-edge Populations of Hemerocallis Middendorffii: A Test for Climate Effects in Last Glacial Maximum and Holocene Optimum

Background Quaternary climate changes significantly impacted population demography of temperate organisms by shifting their distribution. Notably, the rear-edge populations are considered to be more prone to these changes, but empirical studies showed the southernmost fragmented populations of Japanese woody plants to harbor high genetic diversities due to their southern glacial refugia origin. Therefore, the impacts of Holocene climate warming on rear-edge populations have been rarely demonstrated. For the better interpretation of genetic backgrounds of temperate plants, the association of paleodistributions under both icy and warm climates with species-specific demographic changes is required. A perennial daylily Hemerocallis middendorffii (Asphodelaceae) is widely distributed in temperate and cool-temperate zones of East Asia. In Japan, larger populations are found in central ranges, while few small populations survive on harsh rock walls in southernmost regions. We focused on these variable populations and aimed to predict the population demography in relation to past climate changes by statistically combining population genetics with paleodistribution modeling.Results EST-SSR analysis of 737 individuals from 41 populations revealed 6 regional population groups. Four groups widely dominating the northern–central ranges harbored high genetic diversity, whereas genetic divergence within the groups was low. However, two groups at the southwest edge were geographically and genetically isolated and showed the lowest genetic diversity. Estimated paleodistributions showed a decrease of suitable range during Holocene climate optimum in comparison with LGM, and a sole variable of habitat suitability in the Holocene optimum was able to predict genetic diversity across its range. Conclusions We concluded that habitat fragmentation and population decline in relation to the climate warming during the Holocene optimum and interspecific competition with woody plants resulted in genetic isolation and impoverishment of the rear-edge populations.
Predicting developmental outcomes in middle childhood from early life language and parenting experiences

Abstract Children's early life experiences of language and parenting are thought to have pervasive, long‐term influence on their cognitive and behavioural development. However, studies are scarce that collected naturalistic observations to broadly assess children's early life experiences and test their associations with developmental outcomes in middle childhood. Here, we used digital audio‐recorders to collect three full days of naturalistic observations from 107 British families with children (46 boys) aged 2–4 years, of whom 89 participated in a follow‐up assessment four years later when the children were 5–8 years old. We found that children's early life experiences of language and parenting were not significantly associated with their later language ability, academic performance and behavioural outcomes. We explore differences in methodology, sample characteristics and the role of developmental periods as possible explanations for the discrepancy in findings between the current and previous studies.
Polyphenol antioxidants from cocoa pods: Extraction optimization, effect of the optimized extract, and storage time on the stability of palm olein during thermoxidation

This study was conducted in order to optimize the extraction process of phenolic antioxidants in cocoa pods and to evaluate the effect of optimized extract and storage time on the oxidative stability of palm olein heated at 180 °C using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimization of the extraction process of cocoa pods antioxidants was done and the results showed that the total polyphenols of 153.51 mg GAE/g and scavenging activity of 100% were obtained under optimal conditions. Vanillic acid was the phenolic antioxidant detected in the optimized extract using HPLC‐DAD (diode array detector). Rancimat test showed this extract was efficient in delaying palm olein oxidation. To preserve quality of palm olein during heating at 180 °C, RSM concerning iodine value and thiobarbituric acid value proposes to supplement the oil with 2,000 ppm of cocoa pods extract during 1–7 days (03 hr heating cycle per day) of treatments. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: To improve the oxidative stability and shelf‐life of vegetable oils, only few natural sources who are supposed to be safer than synthetic antioxidants have been authorized for industrial purpose (case of rosemary). Therefore, there is a strong rational to continue the search of new natural sources of antioxidants by screening plant materials. This study can be useful for the development of industrial extraction process of cocoa pods and its application as an ingredient to delay lipid oxidation in oils.
Misdirected vigor: Differentiating the control of value from the value of control

Theories of dACC function have to contend with an increasingly long and diverse list of signals that have been tied to this region. To account for this apparent heterogeneity, we recently proposed a theory of dACC function that embraces that heterogeneity and offers a unifying function focused on the evaluation, motivation and allocation of cognitive control. Our theory proposes that dACC integrates information relevant to determining the Expected Value of Control (EVC) – including signals pertaining to demands for control (i.e., how much and what kind of control is needed) and those pertaining to the potential incentives for control (i.e., what are the consequences of exerting control) – and uses this to determine how best to allocate cognitive control. We have shown that this theory accounts for variability in behavior and control states across a variety of experiments and task conditions, and that it can account for the confluence of seemingly unrelated task-related variables within this region, including those related to reward, decision conflict, and the unexpectedness of a stimulus or outcome (i.e., surprise). Vassena and colleagues (2020) recently sought to test predictions of the EVC model, and concluded that it was unable to account for patterns of task-related dACC activity that they observed. Specifically, they show that dACC activity increased with levels of conflict and surprise during a choice task, and argue that the EVC model predicts the opposite pattern of results. Here, we identify misconstruals in analysis and interpretation that led to this conclusion.
Batch Studies for Methylene Blue Removal and Recovery by Untreated Coffee Residues

This paper reports the practicability of using coffee residues to remove widely used basic dyes like MB (Methylene Blue) from wastewaters. The effect of different batch system parameters, namely stirring speed, pH, initial dye concentration and contact time were studied. Moreover, in continuous fixed-bed column systems, the effects of parameters such as bed-depth, flow rate and initial dye concentration were examined. The experimental batch systems data were simulated using (a) Freundlich, Langmuir and Sips isotherm models and (b) 1st order, 2nd order, and intra-particle kinetic models. The results revealed that the MB is fairly adsorbed on coffee residues. This process could be a low cost technique for the removal of basic dyes from aqueous systems.
Identification of math anxiety subtypes

Conceptualizations of mathematics anxiety, as well as factors that are empirically related to it, were identified from the existing literature. These factors are test, evaluation, trait, and state anxiety, as well as gender and level of math ability. Differences in these factors were hypothesized to distinguish subtypes of highly math anxious individuals from one another. In order to determine whether subtypes exist, cluster analyses were performed on a sample of 96 highly math anxious college students. The results revealed three clusters distinguished by completion time on two versions of a math test and age. Furthermore, participants’ responses on a variety of self-report questionnaires, as well as performance on a math test, were assessed under stressful versus relaxing testing conditions. Stressful testing conditions produced a decrement in math test performance, and also resulted in an increase in state anxiety level, particularly for women. The obtained results supported the existence of math anxious subtypes; they also suggested that level of anxiety can be manipulated by instructions in a math testing setting.
Don’t blame yourself: Conscious source monitoring modulates feedback control during speech production

Sensory feedback plays an important role in speech motor control. One of the main sources of evidence for this is studies in which online auditory feedback is perturbed during ongoing speech. In motor control, it is therefore crucial to distinguish between sensory feedback and externally generated sensory events. This is called source monitoring. Previous altered feedback studies have taken non-conscious source monitoring for granted, as automatic responses to altered sensory feedback imply that the feedback changes are processed as self-caused. However, the role of conscious source monitoring is unclear. The current study investigated whether conscious source monitoring modulates responses to unexpected pitch changes in auditory feedback. During the first block, some participants spontaneously attributed the pitch shifts to themselves (self-blamers) while others attributed them to an external source (other-blamers). Before Block 2, all participants were informed that the pitch shifts were experimentally induced. The self-blamers then showed a reduction in response magnitude in Block 2 compared with Block 1, while the other-blamers did not. This suggests that conscious source monitoring modulates responses to altered auditory feedback, such that consciously ascribing feedback to oneself leads to larger compensation responses. These results can be accounted for within the dominant comparator framework, where conscious source monitoring could modulate the gain on sensory feedback. Alternatively, the results can be naturally explained from an inferential framework, where conscious knowledge may bias the priors in a Bayesian process to determine the most likely source of a sensory event.
Thick Binder‐Free Electrodes for Li–Ion Battery Fabricated Using Templating Approach and Spark Plasma Sintering Reveals High Areal Capacity

The templating approach is a powerful method for preparing porous electrodes with interconnected well‐controlled pore sizes and morphologies. The optimization of the pore architecture design facilitates electrolyte penetration and provides a rapid diffusion path for lithium ions, which becomes even more crucial for thick porous electrodes. Here, NaCl microsize particles are used as a templating agent for the fabrication of 1 mm thick porous LiFePO4 and Li4Ti5O12 composite electrodes using spark plasma sintering technique. These sintered binder‐free electrodes are self‐supported and present a large porosity (40%) with relatively uniform pores. The electrochemical performances of half and full batteries reveal a remarkable specific areal capacity (20 mA h cm−2), which is 4 times higher than those of 100 µm thick electrodes present in conventional tape‐casted Li–ion batteries (5 mA h cm−2). The 3D morphological study is carried out using full field transmission X‐ray microscopy in microcomputed tomography mode to obtain tortuosity values and pore size distributions leading to a strong correlation with their electrochemical properties. These results also demonstrate that the coupling between the salt templating method and the spark plasma sintering technique turns out to be a promising way to fabricate thick electrodes with high energy density.
Can lean reduce infections? A systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies

Background: Lean is largely applied to the health sector and on the healthcare-associated infections (HAI). The latter are a plague for our society. However, a few results on the improvement of the outcome have been reported in literature. The purpose of this study is to analyze if the lean application can reduce the healthcare-associated infections rate.Methods: A comprehensive search was performed on PubMed/Medline, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase, and Google Scholar databases using various combinations of the following keywords: "lean" and "infection" from August to December 2019. Inclusion criteria were: 1) research articles with quantitative data and relevant information on lean methodology and its impact on healthcare infections; 2) prospective studies. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines has been used.Results: 22 studies were included in the present meta-analysis. Lean application demonstrated a significant protective role on healthcare-associated infections rate (RR 0.50 [0.38-0.66]) with significant impact on central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) (RR 0.47 [0.28-0.82]). There was a significant correlation between lean application and healthcare worker satisfaction and compliance, but no significant decrease of mortality has been reported.Conclusions: Lean has a positive impact on the decreasing of HAIs and on the improvement of compliance and satisfaction of the staff.
Prevalence and associated morbidities of preterm neonatal admissions at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, North-Eastern Nigeria

Introduction: Preterm delivery is of considerable concern to clinicians and researchers being a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality in the industrialized countries and also contributes to substantial complications among survivors. Sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria accounts for significant proportion of preterm births, with over million deaths due to complication of prematurity. Objectives: The study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated morbidities of preterm deliveries at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri, North-Eastern Nigeria. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective review of neonates delivered before 37 completed weeks of gestation and admitted into the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2015. Results: There were 3435 admissions into the Special Care baby Unit (SCBU) during the 8 year period. Out of these 1129 were preterm babies giving a prevalence of 32.9%. Of the 1129 preterm babies managed in SCBU, 714 case records were retrieved and analyzed giving a retrieval rate of 63%. There were 372 (52.1%) males and 342 (47.9%) females; with the male to female ratio of 1:1.08. There were 17(2.3%) extreme low birth weight (<1000g), 288 (40.3%) very low birth weight (1000-1499 g), 406 (56.9%) low birth weight (15002499 g) babies. The range of admission weights was 700-2500g with mean of 1600±900g. Conclusion: The burden, complications and mortality from preterm newborns remain significant public health challenges to care givers in Nigeria.
Medication literacy in elderly patients with chronic diseases: a community pharmacy perspective

Background: Long-term therapy with chronic maintenance medication is essential for reducing risks of disease progression, comorbidity, and mortality. A correct adherence and use of the medication are prerequisite for reducing these risks. Medication literacy (ML) is the specific ability to safely access and understand the information available concerning medication, and act accordingly.Methods: To investigate the ML in a community pharmacy of older users in order to study the factors that are associated with inadequate literacy. A total of 400 patients were analyzed to assess the level of ML (document and numeracy) through the MedLitRxSE tool.Results: Our study showed that 66% had an inadequate-ML. Women were a high frequency of inadequate-ML respect to men (70.1% and 29.9%). Users over 65 years with chronic diseases showed a high frequency of inadequate-ML (76.5%) in both sexes (P<0.001). Conclusions: Older users, those with primary or any studies as well as patients taking many medicines for chronic diseases showed a significantly lower level of ML. Health professionals and managers should adopt new strategies that allow to prevent and reduce the errors in the handling of the medicines and avoiding the undesirable effects of a misuse in older patients.
A Comparative Study on the Physicochemical Parameters of Milk of Camel, Cow and Goat in Somali Regional State, Ethiopia

This research was carried out to investigate key physicochemical parameters of milk samples collected from camel, cow and goat in Jigjiga district, Eastern Ethiopia. Sixty fresh milk samples were collected purposively from camels, cows and goats (twenty samples from each species) and analyzed. The results revealed that, cow milk had 6.30 ± 0.15 pH, 0.29 ± 0.04% titratable acidity, 14.6 ± 0.60% total solid, 0.75 ± 0.07% ash, 3.54 ± 0.12% protein, 5.54 ± 0.65% fat and 1.06 ± 0.03 specific gravity. Camel milk had 6.13 ± 0.11 pH, 0.36 ± 0.01% titratable acid, 13.65 ± 1.39% total solid, 0.73 ± 0.03% ash, 3.15 ± 0.15% protein, 3.93 ± 0.15% fat, and 1.03 ± 0.00 specific gravity. Results for goat milk was also recorded as 6.38 ± 0.08 pH, 0.33 ± 0.03% titratable acidity, 14.25 ± 1.16% total solid, 0.73 ± 0.07% ash, 4.62 ± 0.56% protein, 6.79 ± 0.38% fat and 1.04 ± 0.00 specific gravity. It can be concluded that goat milk had higher protein and fat content than cow and camel milk.
Assessment of Quality Management Practices and Building Collapse in Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria

The study assessed the quality management practices as it affects the building projects in Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria with a view to determining the causes of building failure. The work involved the distribution of questionnaires and a follow-up study on respondents. The questionnaires were designed to extract information from the stakeholders: professionals from Ministry of Works and Housing, contractors, and direct users of the projects on the general causes of building collapse in relation to quality management. To have a good representation of the study area, one hundred and twenty (120) copies of questionnaire were administered using Taro Yamani method of sample size determination. A total of 92 questionnaires were retrieved and the results were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The study revealed that handling of the construction process by unqualified and quacks, possession of approved drawing without compliance and usage of substandard building materials were the major causes of building collapse. It was recommended that there should be constant evaluation of contractors and other players to determine the level of compliance to quality standards as prescribed by the regulatory bodies to curb the incidences of building collapse.
#Bookstagram and beyond : the presence and depiction of the Bachmann Literary Prize on social media (2007-2017)

Although there has been ample empirical and theoretical research on the ‘field(s)’ of literary criticism and its changing institutional context, few scholars (Steiner 2008, Kellermann et al. 2016; Kellermann and Mehling 2017; Bogaert 2017) have actually attempted to directly ingest and mine the actual content of user-generated online literary criticism. While there is no shortage of broad trend watching and apocalyptic doom saying (activities seemingly endemic to literary criticism itself), the actual scope and productivity of phenomena like #bookstagram and activist counter-criticism like #diekanon and #frauenzahlen (#countingwomen) remain largely unknown. In this paper, We discuss the position and characteristics of the Ingeborg-Bachmann-Preis and briefly address the process of data mining and data collection. Secondly, the paper describes the evolution of the online presence of the Bachmann-Preis throughout the decade concerning its visibility and popularity on the social platforms. Finally, we then explore the actual content of the online community discourse corpora by performing a corpus analysis, examining word frequencies.
Organizing the Unorganized Lifestyle Retailers in India: An Integrated Framework

India is one of the largest countries with consumers belonging to widest range of Religions, Regions, Languages, Sub-Cultures, Ethnicities, and Economic backgrounds which makes it difficult for just few organized lifestyle retailers to service divergent needs of such consumers. This makes it furthermore beneficial for unorganized lifestyle retailers spread across India in humongous numbers which are predominantly owned and operated by the store owner and their family members to take such divergent consumer needs to their advantage as far as their survival is concerned. Unless they attempt to adopt certain modifications and changes to their existing retailing model and store image this benefit will no longer be available to them in the long run. Organized lifestyle retailing in India is steadily growing its penetration into Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities and this is putting unorganized lifestyle retailers in these cities in quandary. In this study, we have analysed twelve months actual data across, a) unit economics; b) returns on investment; c) 94 business deployment factors; d) 192 critical effective factors; and, e) qualitative factors of few select organized and unorganized lifestyle retailers in India thereby drawing inferences / insights to design and propose an integrated framework which is, a) simple to understand; b) easy to execute; and most importantly c) demanding minimal additional capital investment and would possibly help unorganized lifestyle retailers in India to get organized.
