Dispersion of PGU-14 ammunition during air strikes by combat aircrafts A-10 near urban areas

Nineteen air strikes onto seven target locations in Bosnia and Herzegovina were carried out by aircrafts A-10, using ammunition PGU-14. During these air strikes, 10.086 pieces of PGU-14 were fired, strafing such targets as armoured vehicles, trucks and bunkers. Exact locations of targets and PGU-14 ammunition quantity, which were spent for six attacks, are still unknown. But for one target, which was located near Sarajevo at suburb settlement Hadzici it was possible to collect more information. Two targets, an ammunition depot and the tanks and armoured vehicles maintenance facility, were attacked at the Hadzici location. During the five air strikes, 3.400 DU projectiles of PGU-14 ammunition were fired onto these targets. One of the targets was located within the urban part of the settlement, while another one was at suburb part of the settlement. Research points to very large number of unknown locations and uncompleted data on quantity of ammunition PGU-14 that was fired onto individual targets. There is disproportion between points of impact of DU penetrators into hard surfaces and number of located penetrators (ricochet effect), which in longer time period increases health risks for civilian population. Purpose of this paper is to perform an estimation of the dispersion zone with ground-penetrated projectiles PGU-14 using ballistic trajectory simulation for aircraft gun GAU-8/A and ammunition PGU-14 fired from aircraft A-10 and available input data such as aircraft velocity during the air strikes and ballistic performances of projectile PGU-14. In order to obtain final dimension of the hit dispersion pattern, theoretical results are corrected by using a dispersion figure gained from a real combat action. For this purpose, a detailed analysis of video-records (1995-2008 years) of combat actions carried by aircrafts A-10 on area targets without anti-aircraft protection and under conditions of very intensive anti-aircraft fire. Hit probability is determined on the base of US researches, which were performed during 1978 and 1979, in order to simulate attacks on Russian tanks under low attack angles. Based on the estimated number of hits for armoured or other hard targets, it is possible to approximately determine dispersion of PGU-14 ammunition during air strikes in target zone near urban areas.
Incest: Through the perpetrators’ lenses

Incest is defined as the occurrence of sexual relations between close blood relatives. It is considered as not a rare event. Still, the conspiracy of silence, which is an integral part of the phenomenon, makes it difficult to estimate its scope, especially here in the Philippines. This research aims to provide enlightenment about the phenomenon, especially through the perpetrators’ lenses; thus, the perpetrators’ challenges and realizations before, during, and after the said act. A case study was conducted in four incest cases, which happen in the province of Davao del Sur. A structured focused case comparison was used in this study to present the differences and similarities of each case regarding the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, the triggering factors, and the challenges of the perpetrators before, during, and after the incestuous act. Descriptive phenomenological method was also been utilized for the interpretation of the significant themes and meanings. The results showed that organic substance such as alcohol, close physical proximity, and illicit emotions were the prevailing factors that led the perpetrators to commit incest. In addition, the results also showed that temptation due to close physical proximity was the common challenges that the perpetrators encountered. Moreover, after the incestuous act, the perpetrators showed different feelings towards the incident, such as remorse and regret. However, each case varied when it comes to their relationship with the victims and emotional attachment.
Do Patient Expectations Represent a More Important Clinical Difference? A Study of Surgical Outcomes in the Cervical Spine

Objective: This study aims to compare the impact of achieving an MCID or meeting preoperative expectations on patient satisfaction following cervical spine procedures. Methods: A surgical database was retrospectively reviewed for cervical spine surgery patients from 2016 to 2020. Inclusion criteria were primary or revision, single- or multilevel cervical disc arthroplasty or anterior cervical discectomy and fusions (ACDF). Visual analogue scale (VAS) neck and arm pain was assessed preoperatively and postoperatively (6-week, 12-weeks, 6-months, 1-year). Preoperative patient expectation and postoperative satisfaction were recorded. MCID achievement was determined using previously established values. Expectations met and MCID achievement were compared as possible predictors of satisfaction. Results: One hundred and six cervical spine patients were included. Both meeting expectations and achieving MCID were significant predictors of satisfaction for arm pain at 6-weeks and 12-weeks (all p≤0.007). Achieving MCID significantly predicted satisfaction for neck pain at all timepoints (all p≤0.007) and meeting expectations predicted satisfaction for neck pain at 6-weeks, 12-weeks, and 1-year (all p≤0.003). Comparison of coefficients revealed no significant difference in effect size between meeting expectations and achievement of MCID as predictors of patient satisfaction (all p>0.050). Conclusion: MCID achievement and meeting expectations were significant predictors of satisfaction for neck pain and short-term arm pain. Both measures may be similarly useful for inter-pretation of patient outcomes and the optimal choice of metric may depend on practice-specif-ic factors.
NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE The Steadman Wind Chill: An Improvement over Present Scales

Because of shortcomings in the current wind chill formulation, which did not consider the metabolic heat generation of the human body, a new formula is proposed for operational implementation. This formula, referred to as the Steadman wind chill, is based on peer-reviewed research including a heat generation and exchange model of an appropriately dressed person for a range of low temperatures and wind speeds. The Steadman wind chill produces more realistic wind chill equivalents than the current NWS formulation. It is easy to determine from tables (calculated by application of a quadratic fit in both U.S. and metric units) with values accurate to within 18C.
Estimating Long-Run Relationship between Renewable Energy Use and CO2 Emissions: A Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) Approach

The long-run relationship between economic growth and environmental quality has been estimated within the framework of the environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). Several studies have estimated this relationship by using statistical models such as panel regression and time series regression. The current study argues that there is a nonlinear relationship between environmental quality indicators and economic and non-economic predictors and hence an appropriate nonlinear model is required to predict it. An adaptive and nonlinear model, namely radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) has been developed in this study. CO2 emission is used as the target output and renewable energy consumption share, real GDP, trade openness, urban population ratio, and democracy index are used as the predictors to estimate the EKC relationship for nineteen major CO2 emitting countries that account for 78% of the global emissions. The model developed in this study could predict the CO2 emissions of all the countries with more than 95% accuracy. This finding underlines the usefulness of the RBFNN model which can be used to predict emission levels of other pollution indicators at the global level. Further, comparing two models, one with all the predictors and the other excluding the renewable energy share, it was found that the model with renewable energy share predicts CO2 emissions more accurately. This reinforces the already strengthening campaign to encourage industries and governments to increase the share of renewable energy in total energy use.
Evidencias de validez y confiabilidad del Inventario de Trastornos de Ansiedad Generalizada en universitarios mexicanos

The present study analyses the psychometric properties, in university men and women, proposed for Blanco et al. (2017) to the Spanish version of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Inventory. The overall sample consisted of 1220 subjects: 640 women and 580 men, with a mean age of 20.40 years (SD= 1.92) and 20.54 years (SD= 2.04) respectively. Psychometric analysis showed that a tri-factorial structure (cognitive symptoms, sleep disorders and somatic symptoms) was viable and adequate for both populations (men and woman) according to the established psychometric requirements. The results showed that factor structure, factor loadings and intercepts of the instrument could be considered invariant across groups; however, there are differences between groups for the means of factors cognitive anxiety and somatic symptoms.

A comparative study of heart rate variability and physical fitness in women with moderate and severe fibromyalgia

The aim of this study was to compare the physical fitness and cardiac autonomic activity among women with moderate and severe fibromyalgia (FM) and healthy women. This study included 35 women with FM (age: 46.2±8.9 years) and 17 healthy women (age: 44.3±9.9 years). Participants with FM were divided into moderate FM (n=15) and severe FM (n=20) according to the total score obtained in FM impact questionnaire. The heart rate variability was monitored using a portable cardiac monitor with participants resting in supine position during 10 min. Thereafter, the participants performed the chair sit and reach test, the chair stand test, and the 6-min walk test to measure the lower-body flexibility, lower-body muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory fitness, respectively. The lower-body muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness were both reduced in moderate and severe FM compared to healthy women (P<0.01), with greater reduction in severe FM when compared to moderate FM (P<0.05). In addition, the parasympathetic indexes of heart rate variability were all similarly decreased in both moderate and severe FM, when compared to healthy women (P<0.05). The cardiac parasympathetic activity is similarly decreased in women with both moderate and severe FM in comparison to healthy women, despite a greater physical deconditioning in severe FM.
Crown Lengthening for Obtaining Biological Width in Dental Restoration: A Case Report

Background: Biological width is a natural defensive space for periodontal tissue which is important for maintaining healthy periodontal tissue so that it can support the success of dental restoration treatment. The localized alveolar bone loss, gingival recession, localized gingival hyperplasia or a combination of all three can be caused by poor biological width restoration. Biological width is obtained through crown lengthening when restoration of teeth have caries or subgingival fractures under the gingival attachment. The crown-lengthening procedure is performed to increase the height of the clinical crown for restoring and improving the esthetics of the teeth. Objective: This case report presents two cases of crown lengthening with osteotomy before the dental restoration procedure. Case Report: The first case was of a 43-year-old woman who was referred from the prosthodontics clinic RSKGM FKG UI before making permanent restorations on tooth 13. Clinical examination showed red gums, swelling and caries that extended to subgingival especially in the distal part. A crown-lengthening procedure with an osteotomy was performed distally to increase the height of the clinical crown so that it had a good ferrule effect for the restoration of the tooth. The second case was of a 25-year-old female patient who had undergone root canal treatment by a general dentist. The clinical appearance of the tooth showed an imbalance in the height of the gingival zenith with the tooth next to it, and the clinical crown looked short. Crown lengthening with osteotomy was done to get a balanced zenith height. Conclusion: Crown lengthening is a periodontal surgical treatment performed to obtain optimum biological width to support tooth restoration. Keywords: crown lengthening, osteotomy, biological width

Internet-Based Psychological Interventions during SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic: An Experience in South of Italy

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to an increasing demand for online psychological intervention. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of received support in internet-based psychological intervention group (I-IG) patients, compared with a wait-list control group (CG). The Impact of Event Scale—Revised, Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item and Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale 7-item were administered. After participants had used the internet-based solution, the System Usability Scale was administered. In total, 221 patients (194 patients supported by internet-based interventions and 27 patients supported onsite) were included in intervention group, and 194 patients were included in CG. In a 6-month follow-up, participants in the I-IG demonstrated significant improvements in terms of PTSD risk (p < 0.0001, d = 0.64), depression (p < 0.0001, d = 0.68), and anxiety (p < 0.0001, d = 1.33), compared to the CG. Significant improvements in onsite intervention group patients with a large to very large effect size of PTSD risk (p < 0.0001, d = 0.91), depression (p < 0.0001, d = 0.81), and anxiety (p < 0.0001, d = 1.62) were found. After internet-based solution use, I-IG patients reported a very high usability and functionality (72.87 ± 13.11) of online intervention. In conclusion, SARS-CoV-2-related mental health problems can be improved by internet-based psychological intervention. The usability and functionality evaluation of online solutions by technological tools showed very positive results for the I-IG patients.
Interleukin 10 Attenuates Angiotensin II-Induced Aortic Remodelling by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress-Induced Activation of the Vascular p38 and NF-κB Pathways

Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is a probable anti-inflammatory factor that can attenuate hypertrophic remodelling caused by overloaded pressure and improve cardiac function. In this study, IL-10 was decreased in both the plasma of hypertensive patients and the aortic vessels of angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced hypertensive mice. IL-10 was unable to alter blood pressure in the case of Ang II-induced hypertension. The aortic thickness, collagen deposition, and the levels of fibrosis-associated markers, including collagen type I α 1 (Col1α1), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), were significantly reduced in the IL-10 treatment group compared with the vehicle group after Ang II treatment. Moreover, IL-10 treatment significantly inhibited the number of CD45+ positive cells and the mRNA expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the vascular tissue of Ang II-infused mice. Furthermore, dihydroethidium (DHE) and 4hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) staining showed that IL-10 decreased Ang II-induced vascular oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, IL-10 suppressed Ang II-induced proliferation, fibrosis, and inflammation of mouse vascular adventitial fibroblasts (mVAFs). Mechanistically, IL-10 suppressed the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in Ang II-induced vascular fibrosis. In summary, our data indicated that IL-10, as a potential therapeutic target treatment, could limit the progression of Ang II-induced aortic remodelling.
Advanced Telemetry system for Hospital wagon with Fog Cloud Operability

- A hospital Wagon which is a smart ambulance system model that provides health monitoring of patients for remote medical professionals with fog and cloud feature. Sensor nodes records and deliver health status information to other elements of system such as hospital site. Remote decisions can be made in a medical center after receiving inputs generated inside an hospital wagon. Building a distributed real time system can handle all aspects of time critical systems and hide heterogeneity between elements and different types of data. Hospital wagons are time critical every second may save life of patients. Current wagon services have some limitations such as limited resources, lack of effective communication with doctors, latency, and poor video technology. A proposed model for telemetry system for hospital wagon system by using hardware which contains raspberry pi 3, sensors such as temperature and heart rate, fog which deployed on one machine with some bounded area and cloud which deployed on second machine. Wagon will have advanced telemetry system is onboard in an ambulance having life saving capabilities, the vital signs of the wounds (e.g. temperature, heart rate) can be measured and uploaded on fog instantly via a wireless (Wi-Fi) communication network. After one episode completed means patient can be reached to hospital then fog which having real data can upload on cloud for the future investigation. Additionally, videos taken by cameras installed in the hospital wagon can be sent to the hospital in real-time using raspberry pi. Latency issue related to cloud is minimized using cloud fog operability. In fog continually fetch the sensor value and compare with threshold value if values greater the threshold the system can send SMS notification to doctor.
