The prevalence and factors associated with acute postoperative pain in elective gynecologic surgical patients at two referral hospitals in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, 2021: a cross-sectional study

Background: Postoperative pain is an expected and undesirable by-product of all surgical procedures. The provision of effective and safe postoperative pain management should be one of the top priorities of any healthcare, where surgical procedures are carried out. Major abdominal surgical operations require pain management services, regular pain assessment, and timely management of breakthrough pains in the postoperative period. Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with acute postoperative pain. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Minilik and Zewditu Referral hospitals from October to December 2021 and chart review and face-to-face interviews were the methods of data collection. The pain was measured at the 2, 12, and 24 h postoperatively through a numerical rating scale, and the pain was categorized as no pain (score=0), mild pain (score 1–3), moderate pain (score 4–6), or severe pain (score 7–10). All independent variables with P less than or equal to 0.2 in the univariable logistic regression were reanalyzed with multivariable logistic regression at 95% CI to determine predictive factors and a P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In the study period, a total of 368 eligible patients were involved, out of this 11 patients were discharged before 24 h, four patients refuse to participate two incomplete documentation and one patient was ICU admitted, therefore 350 patients were involved with a response rate of 95.1%. Among those patients 73.1% of respondents’ experience at least one episodes of moderate to severe postoperative pain within the first 24 h. Preoperative anxiety (AOR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.2, 5.1), urban residency (AOR: 2.3, 95% CI: 1.2, 50), participants who have not formal education (AOR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.3, 4.1), surgical patients without pre-emptive analgesia (AOR: 2.7, 95% CI: 1.3, 3.6), abdominal incision greater than 10 cm (AOR: 3.5, 95% CI: 2.1, 7.2), and surgical duration greater than or equal to 60 min (AOR: 2.3, 95% CI: 1.1, 3.1) were factors associated with acute postoperative pain following elective gynecologic surgery. Conclusion: In this study, the overall incidence of moderate to severe postoperative pain after gynecologic surgery was unacceptably high, and patients undergoing gynecologic surgical procedures suffer sufficient postoperative pain need of intervention.
AOF: standalone test results of GALACSI

GALACSI is the Adaptive Optics (AO) module that will serve the MUSE Integral Field Spectrograph. In Wide Field Mode it will enhance the collected energy in a 0.2”×0.2” pixel by a factor 2 at 750 nm over a Field of View (FoV) of 1’×1’ using the Ground Layer AO (GLAO) technique. In Narrow Field Mode, it will provide a Strehl Ratio of 5% (goal 10%) at 650 nm, but in a smaller FoV (7.5”×7.5” FoV), using Laser Tomography AO (LTAO). Before being ready for shipping to Paranal, the system has gone through an extensive testing phase in Europe, first in standalone mode and then in closed loop with the DSM in Europe. After outlining the technical features of the system, we describe here the first part of that testing phase and the integration with the AOF ASSIST (Adaptive Secondary Setup and Instrument Stimulator) testbench, including a specific adapter for the IRLOS truth sensor. The procedures for the standalone verification of the main system performances are outlined, and the results of the internal functional tests of GALACSI after full integration and alignment on ASSIST are presented.
Gender differences in work-life conflict during Covid? A research agenda for work-life conflict post-pandemic

ABSTRACT Studies on gender differences in work-life conflict have shown that women often report higher levels of work-life conflict due to social mores of undertaking a larger proportion of childcare and household work. Similarly, emergent research on the impact of the Covid pandemic on work-life conflict have shown that women experienced more work-life conflict. During the pandemic, educational work and provision took place within the home. The current study therefore sought to investigate work-life conflict for employees in the further education sector during the pandemic. The findings of the current study suggest that there were no gender differences, at least in the case of the further education sector, which is contrary to extant research on work-life conflict. Thus, there is scope to explore through future research whether there is trajectory towards gender equalitarianism in the sharing of household work, whether the pandemic as a crisis was an episodic event that necessitated gender equalitarian work distribution, or whether the blurring of boundaries between work and non-work domains is a continuum of neoliberal institutional demands.
The Distribution of Chinese Reflexives

In this paper, I discuss major properties of both local and LD reflexives in Chinese. There are two basic properties of Chinese reflexives: the simplex reflexive allows LD binding con­ strained by a local feature-agreement restriction, and both simplex and complex reflexives are subject oriented. Assuming that the basic constraints governing the distribution of reflexive pro­ nouns in Chinese are not different in substance from that of English reflexives, I sketch an analy­ sis of these properties in terms of an interaction between syntax and semantics, along the tradition of Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar (GPSG). This analysis owes much to Hukari (1989), while differing in several respects. In the context of the feature instantiation system developed in Gazdar et al. (1985), I will show that syntactic domains of reflexive pronouns including LD reflexives can be defined in terms of the interaction of feature co-occurrence restrictions (FCRs) and the reflexivization metarule. I suggest that subject-orientation is independent of the lexical property of a reflexive. The difference between Chinese and English with respect to subject­ orientation vs. non-orientaion may be expressed in slightly different forms of semantic interpreta­ tion. As a result, not only can various complications and assumptions be avoided, but also the difference between local and LD reflexives can be reduced to a variation of feature co-occurence restrictions.
Growth Monitoring and Promotion Service Utilisation and Associated Factors among Children in Afar Region, Northeast Ethiopia

The use of growth monitoring and promotion (GMP) services in the first two years of life can facilitate the early identification of common childhood health issues such as malnutrition and infections. It also creates an opportunity to promote education and nutritional counselling. This study is the first to investigate the use of GMP and its influencing factors among mothers in Ethiopia’s pastoralist regions, including the Afar National and Regional State, where childhood malnutrition is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Between May and June 2021, a cross-sectional study was conducted within the Semera-Logia city administration. The study used a random sampling technique to select 396 children under two, and data were gathered using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyse the influence of explanatory variables, which included socio-demographic, health service, and health literacy factors, on the utilisation of GMP services. The overall utilisation of GMP services was 15.9% (95% confidence intervals [CI]: 12.0%, 19.5%). Children whose fathers had college or higher education were more likely to utilise GMP services (adjusted odd ratios [AOR] = 7.75; 95% CI: 3.01, 19.99), whereas children living in households with more children were less likely to utilise GMP services (AOR = 0.11; 95% CI: 0.04, 0.28 for households with 3–4 children and AOR = 0.23; 95% CI: 0.08, 0.67 for households with 4+ children). Children who received postnatal care had higher odds of GMP service use (AOR = 8.09; 95% CI: 3.19, 20.50). GMP services are not being fully utilised to decrease infant and child morbidity and mortality caused by malnutrition in Ethiopia. We recommend strengthening GMP services in Ethiopia and taking targeted action to address the low attainment of parental education and poor postnatal care utilisation. Public health initiatives such as the implementation of mobile health (mHealth) approaches and education of mothers by female community healthcare workers on the significance of GMP services could be effective in increasing GMP service utilisation.
Could the Hybridization of the SE/TGfU Pedagogical Models Be an Alternative for Learning Sports and Promoting Health? School Context Study

The present study aims to analyze the influence of the Sport Education (SE)/Teaching for understanding (TGfU) hybrid unit on enjoyment, perceived competence, intention to be physically active, skill execution, decision making, performance and game involvement. A short-term (12-lesson) pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental design was conducted in two groups: control (technical approach: 70 students; age = 14.43 ± 0.693; n = 32 female) and experimental (hybrid unit SE–TGfU: 67 students; age = 13.91 ± 0.900; n = 30 female). The coding instrument was based on the Game performance Assessment Instrument. The Enjoyment and Perceived Competence Scale and the Measure of Intentionality to be Physically Active questionnaire were also used. The results of pairwise comparisons between the groups showed higher post-test scores for most dependent variables for boys and girls using the hybrid SE/TGfU unit. Lower post-test scores were found in pairwise comparisons for several dependent variables in both boys and girls. The present study showed that the application of hybrid models SE/TGfU could increase and help facilitate students’ game involvement and game performance, enjoyment, perceived competence and intention to be physically active, in both boys and girls. In future studies, it would be necessary to analyze psychological variables in the educational context for a deeper assessment.
Enzymatic post-crosslinking of printed hydrogels of methacrylated gelatin and tyramine-conjugated 8-arm poly(ethylene glycol) to prepare interpenetrating 3D network structures

Methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) has been intensively studied as a 3D printable scaffold material in tissue regeneration fields, which can be attributed to its well-known biological functions. However, the long-term stability of photo-crosslinked GelMA scaffolds is hampered by a combination of its fast degradation in the presence of collagenase and the loss of physical crosslinks at higher temperatures. To increase the longer-term shape stability of printed scaffolds, a mixture of GelMA and tyramine-conjugated 8-arm PEG (8PEGTA) was used to create filaments composed of an interpenetrating network (IPN). Photo-crosslinking during filament deposition of the GelMA and subsequent enzymatic crosslinking of the 8PEGTA were applied to the printed 3D scaffolds. Although both crosslinking mechanisms are radical based, they operate without interference of each other. Rheological data of bulk hydrogels showed that the IPN was an elastic hydrogel, having a storage modulus of 6 kPa, independent of temperature in the range of 10 – 40°C. Tensile and compression moduli were 110 kPa and 80 kPa, respectively. On enzymatic degradation in the presence of collagenase, the gelatin content of the IPN fully degraded in 7 days, leaving a stable secondary crosslinked 8PEGTA network. Using a BioMaker bioprinter, hydrogels without and with human osteosarcoma cells (hMG-63) were printed. On culturing for 21 days, hMG-63 in the GelMA/8PEGTA IPN showed a high cell viability (>90%). Thus, the presence of the photoinitiator, incubation with H2O2, and mechanical forces during printing did not hamper cell viability. This study shows that the GelMA/8PEGTA ink is a good candidate to generate cell-laden bioinks for extrusion-based printing of constructs for tissue engineering applications.
The Impact of Vitamin D Deficiency and Insufficiency on the Outcome of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Systematic Review

Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are public health concerns that have contributed to multiple negative health outcomes. Recent studies have revealed that vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency influence glycaemic control and the development of diabetes complications. The goal of this systematic review is to summarise the latest evidence on the impact of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency on the outcome of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. In this PRISMA-guided systematic review, articles were sourced from three databases, namely, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The review only included literature published from 2012 until 2022, and 33 eligible studies met the inclusion criteria for this review. The included articles were critically appraised using the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT). According to our findings, vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is associated with mental health status, macrovascular and microvascular complications of T2DM, metabolic syndrome, increased risk of obesity, increased blood pressure, dyslipidaemia, glycaemic control, nerve-related disease, musculoskeletal-related complications, and reduced quality of life. Due to the diverse implications of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency, screening for vitamin D levels in T2DM patients may be beneficial.
Crossline Reconstruction of 3D Seismic Data Using 3D cWGAN: A Comparative Study on Sleipner Seismic Survey Data

In seismic data acquisition, data loss can occur, particularly with the use of streamer systems in marine seismic exploration. These systems often cause spatial aliasing problems by having close inline intervals and wide crossline intervals to maximize the exploration range. To improve the resolution of seismic data in the crossline direction, various machine learning techniques have been employed for crossline data reconstruction. In this study, we introduce a 3D cWGAN (conditional Wasserstein generative adversarial network) for interpolating 3D seismic data. We evaluate the model’s performance by comparing it with 2D cWGAN and 3D U-Net. In this study, two interpolation strategies are employed to reconstruct missing data in the crossline direction. The first strategy uses a 2D network, which trains a model using inline data and applies the trained model to the crossline direction via 2D cWGAN. The second strategy employs a 3D network, which uses the 3D volume of the seismic data directly via 3D cWGAN and 3D U-Net. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method using the Sleipner CO2 4D seismic survey dataset. Our results show that the 3D cWGAN is more efficient in enhancing resolution and computation compared to the 2D cWGAN or 3D U-Net.
Integrative and complementary practices in health, nurses’ profile and care provided to people with hypertension: a mixed study design

Objective: to analyze the profile of nurses regarding integrative and complementary practices in health (ICPH) and understand how they are used in the care of people with arterial hypertension. Method: mixed-methods sequential explanatory design. The cross-sectional quantitative stage included 386 nurses who completed an online questionnaire addressing sociodemographic and professional information, training, and practice, with a descriptive and inferential analysis. The qualitative stage was performed via 18 online interviews with professionals who had ICPH training and implemented it in the care provided to individuals with hypertension, with a participatory analysis. Integration occurred through a connecting approach. Results: 36.8% had ICPH training; most were women, Caucasian, married, public servants, aged 37 (+ 9.4) on average; 14.2% incorporated ICPH into the care provided to people with hypertension; predominantly auriculotherapy (28.2%) and bloodletting in hypertensive crises. The results show that nurses integrally approached patients, and their approach was not limited to the vital sign altered at the time, but they also intervened in anxiety, stress, sleep, and rest. A potentiality observed concerns support treatment adherence. Conclusion: the profile of nurses with ICPH training is presented, and such practice has implications for lowering blood pressure. ICPH has been incorporated into the care of people with hypertension, but its use is still incipient, considering its potential in nursing care.
Biomarkers of malignant transformation in oral leukoplakia: from bench to bedside

Oral leukoplakia is a common precursor lesion of oral squamous cell carcinoma, which indicates a high potential of malignancy. The malignant transformation of oral leukoplakia seriously affects patient survival and quality of life; however, it is difficult to identify oral leukoplakia patients who will develop carcinoma because no biomarker exists to predict malignant transformation for effective clinical management. As a major problem in the field of head and neck pathologies, it is imperative to identify biomarkers of malignant transformation in oral leukoplakia. In this review, we discuss the potential biomarkers of malignant transformation reported in the literature and explore the translational probabilities from bench to bedside. Although no single biomarker has yet been applied in the clinical setting, profiling for genomic instability might be a promising adjunct. 口腔白斑是一种常见的口腔潜在恶性病变, 可恶变为口腔鳞状细胞癌, 恶性潜能较高。 白斑癌变严重影响患者的生存和生活质量, 但因缺乏有效的癌变预测生物标志物, 难以对其癌变潜能进行识别。 作为头颈病理领域的重要问题之一, 白斑癌变生物标志物的筛选将有助于鳞癌的早期诊断。 本文通过综述白斑癌变相关生物标志物的相关研究, 探讨从基础科研到临床转化的前景。 目前虽尚无生物标志物应用于临床, 但基因组不稳定性可能是一种具有应用前景的辅助方法。
Knowledge and Beliefs about Herb/Supplement Consumption and Herb/Supplement–Drug Interactions among the General Population, including Healthcare Professionals and Pharmacists: A Systematic Review and Guidelines for a Smart Decision System

The increased consumption of a variety of herbs/supplements has been raising serious health concerns. Owing to an inadequate understanding of herb/supplement–drug interactions, the simultaneous consumption of these products may result in deleterious effects and, in extreme cases, even fatal outcomes. This systematic review is aimed at understanding the knowledge and beliefs about the consumption of herbs/supplements and herb/drug–supplement interactions (HDIs). The study follows the PRISMA guidelines. Four online databases (Web of Science; PubMed; Cochrane; and EBSCOhost) were searched, and a total of 44 studies were included, encompassing 16,929 participants. Herb and supplement consumption is explained mostly by the reported benefits across multiple conditions and ease of use. Regarding HDIs, most people take both herbs/supplements and prescription drugs simultaneously. Only a small percentage of participants have knowledge about their interaction effects, and many reported adverse interactions or side effects. Nevertheless, the main reason for stopping the prescribed drug intake is the perceived lack of its effect, and not due to interactions. Therefore, it is important to increase the knowledge about supplement use so that further strategies can be elaborated to better detect or be alert for whenever a potentially dangerous reaction and/or interaction may occur. This paper raises awareness regarding the need for developing a decision support system and ends with some considerations about the development of a technological solution capable of detecting HDIs and, thereby, aiding in the improvement of pharmacy services.
Shear-Parallel Moist Convection over the Tropical Ocean: A Case Study from 18 February 1993 TOGA COARE

Abstract This paper describes a newly observed form of shear-parallel rainbands that were observed on 18 February 1993 in Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment using the NCAR ELDORA airborne Doppler radar. Interesting features of these rainbands included their rapidly changing and highly cellular nature, their complicated and layered kinematic structure, and the effects of the rainbands on the tropical environment. In their lower levels, the rainbands consisted of east–west elongated clusters of small convective cells, aligned with the z = 0–5 km shear vector. Strong low-level convergence, inflow from the north, and enhanced westerly winds extended from the surface up to 5 km. Much of this air was vented out of the storm at midlevels, exiting to the north in the 0°C stable layer at z = 5–7 km. This midlevel outflow fed an area of widespread, stratiform precipitation lying to the north of the rainband. The cold pool outflow emanating from this area of precipitation t.
Boys’ Violence in Settler–Colonial Contexts: Illegitimate Civic Duty and Pathways to Violence

ABSTRACT The data for this paper come from an 11-year participant observation study in a public high school in Hawaiʻi. The study included 25 interviews with working-class and poor boys of color, most of whom were of Pacific Islander ancestry. This manuscript considers whether everyday acts of violence among the boys in the study stemmed from common motivations that cut across race, gender, and class divides. The study also explored whether the boys’ violence could be tied to historic, multifaceted inequalities within the settler-colonial order of Hawaiʻi. The boys authored a form of violence that can be called “illegitimate civic duty,” which allowed them to demonstrate their alignment with mainstream nationalist ideologies and masculinity norms. In some ways, the boys’ violence in enacting their civic duty could be tied to common motivations that affect boys across the U.S. In other cases, however, the boys’ use of violence could be linked with their unique consciousness and view of the historic injustices embedded in the settler-colonial system of Hawaiʻi. The findings are used to weave together general and subgroup-specific perspectives on male violence.
SIMILAR PROPERTIES AND GENETIC PARAMETERS OF LOCAL VARIETIES OF GOGO RICE

The genetic resources of food plants are an indispensable asset for the formation or improvement of the characteristics of superior varieties. These genetic resources continue to experience erosion due to modern agricultural practices, so they must be preserved through exploration, characterization, and estimation of genetic parameters. This study aims to determine the similarity of traits and genetic parameters of local upland rice varieties. The experiment was conducted at the Sidondo experimental garden, Sidondo Village, Tambubulava District, Sigi Regency, from April to August 2019. The study used a Randomized Block Design with 24 local varieties as the treatment, which was repeated three times so that there were 72 experimental plots. The cluster analysis results showed 3 clusters of grouping varieties, namely one variety for cluster 1, 6 types for cluster 2, and 17 combinations for cluster 3. 10 traits had high coefficients of genetic diversity. The number of seeds per panicle, leaf area, plant height, number of tillers, leaf length, flowering age, and stem diameter are traits with high heritability and genetic progress. The number of productive tillers is a trait with a simple correlation value and a heightened direct effect on yield, so indirect selection can be made to increase upland rice yield.
