INITIAL APPLICATION OF NONLINEAR REGRESSION MODELS TO ASSESS BIOLOGICAL SELF-PURIFICATION CAPACITY IN VUNG RO BAY (PHU YEN)
Authors: Huan Nguyen Huu , Hieu Nguyen Trinh Duc
Published: July 2023

The self-purification of waters is a complex process, including physical, biological and chemical processes. Based on experimental data in May 2014 and December 2014 in Vung Ro bay (Phu Yen), this paper assesses biological self-purification capicity through the biodegradation of organic matter and nutrient assimilation. The capacity of biodegradation of organic matter is represented by nonlinear regression models of the relationship between BOD and decay time: model of Streeter - Phelps, Young and Clark (1965); Mason et al., (2006). The capacity of nutrient assimilation is represented by the nonlinear regression models of the relationship between photosynthesis and irradiance: Model of Webb et al., (1974); Platt et al., (1980); Eilers and Peeters (1988). Using the least squares method on the nonlinear regression model, the parameters characterizing the self purification process in Vung Ro waters were identified. The study results indicated that the rate of organic biodegradation in Vung Ro waters was 0.1073 ± 0.0781 days-1 (with RMSE = 0.0663 ± 0.0386); the half-time of decay was about 6 days. The maximum intensity of photosynthesis in Vung Ro waters was 57.6881 ± 25.2211 mgC (mgChal)-1h-1 (with RMSE = 3.5900 ± 2.2170); maximum nutrient assimilation of phytoplankton was 9.1719 ± 3.5962 mgN/m3/h and 1.2693 ± 0.4977 mgP/m3/h.

Published: July 2023

OBS (Optical Back-Scattered Sensor) instrument is one of the most modern instrument used to measure the concentration of suspended sediment. The light scattering of the suspended matter in the water strongly  correlates with the concentration as well as their sizes. Therefore, the reliability of the field data also  depends strongly on the in-situ calibration. The calibrating procedures were carried out at Khe Oc creek, Can Gio mangrove forest, Ho Chi Minh city to  convert the field data from OBS instrument (FTU unit) to the suspended sediment concentration (mg/1 unit) are presented as an example for this method.

Authors: Santos Jonathan Martins Silva Dos , Silva Antonia Isabelly Bezerra da , Nunes Luanne Eugênia , Sá- Filho Geovan Figueirêdo de
Published: July 2023

A planta Aranto (Bryophyllum laetivirens), que pertence ao gênero Kalanchoe, é utilizada na medicina popular do Brasil e também de outras partes do mundo, devido às suas propriedades terapêuticas. Alguns estudos etnofarmacológicos afirmam que essa planta também é utilizada para o tratamento de lesões cutâneas. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar e reunir os registros na literatura científica sobre a utilização medicinal da Aranto (Bryophyllum laetivirens) em tratamentos de lesões cutâneas humanas. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo de revisão narrativa, cujos artigos foram encontrados nas bases de dados eletrônicas: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), PubMed e o buscador generalista Google Acadêmico. Por ser um assunto específico e com escassas publicações, o período utilizado na busca de artigos foi datado desde o descobrimento da planta em 1997 até o ano de 2021. Devido à escassez de estudos sobre a espécie, foram verificadas as propriedades inerentes a família botânica, visando ter um entendimento macro das propriedades terapêuticas da espécie. A família Crassulaceae que possui cerca de 1400 espécies identificadas taxonomicamente é comumente utilizada para fins ornamentais, porém estudos sobre as atividades biológicas e farmacológicas dessa família vêm aumentando, mesmo que lentamente, o que possibilitou a descoberta de diversas propriedades terapêuticas. Adicionalmente, foi possível identificar, a partir da literatura científica, que a planta Aranto (Bryophyllum laetivirens) tem compostos como os flavonoides e elevada concentração de minerais, como o selênio, além de propriedades antioxidantes. Essas combinações de propriedades podem acelerar o processo de cicatrização de lesões cutâneas em seres humanos, mas a escassez de registros sobre estudos com ensaios clínicos é evidente, trazendo a necessidade de novos estudos com testes para verificar as propriedades regenerativas dessa planta.

Does Competition from the Informal Sector Reduce Tax Compliance in the Formal Sector? Evidence from Ethiopia
Authors: Yimam Seid , Asmare Fissha , Moore Mick
Published: July 2023

It is widely believed that the existence of ‘informal sector’ enterprises that visibly do not pay direct taxes reduces the willingness of owners of formal, tax-registered enterprises to pay their own taxes. We call this the adverse evasion spillover hypothesis. It is for several reasons hard to test this hypothesis, especially in this most general form. We test a more focused version, with two components. One is that the levels of tax compliance of formal firms are reduced when those firms perceive that they are adversely affected by direct economic competition from informal enterprises. The other is that these effects are especially marked for smaller formal sector firms. Two particular procedures enabled us to collect the data needed to test these hypotheses in a satisfactory way.

Authors: Nsayef Muslim Sahira , Hassan Muslem Wafaa , Fayyad Raghad J. , Mohammed Al Alaa Naseer , Faraj Edbeib Mohamed
Published: July 2023

Aims: Lectins are carbohydrates with structure usually binding with proteins. The isolation of lectins from local and inexpensive sources, such as rice, considered one of the chief cereal crops, is necessary due to its broad application. Methods: Lectin was extracted from a novel source, Oryza sativa grains, with solvent (hexane) of ratios (1:5 w/v) for 15 minutes. The extract solution was fractionated with ammonium sulfate at 25-65% saturation concentrations and then applied to a DEAE-cellulose column followed by a Sephadex G-100 column. SDS-PAGE has been done to vitrify from lectin purity. An enhancement and inhibition activities were calculated to detect the effect of lectin on lactic acid bacteria and pathogenic bacterial growth. The extracted lectin from three types of Oryza sativa grains showed various levels of erythrocyte agglutination from 8 to 32U/ml. Then, the specimen was loaded into a DEAE-cellulose column followed by gel using Sephadex G-100 column with a final specific activity of 246.15U/mg, 24.15 fold of purification and 70% yield of lectin. Findings: Lectin SDS-PAGE result revealed a single protein band with 43 k Da. The purified lectin exhibited a substantial prebiotic property of lactic acid bacteria growth enhancement while exhibiting apparent growth inhibition against tested pathogenic bacteria. Typically, prebiotic properties should inhibit the growth of pathogens and enhance the growth of beneficial and desirable bacteria like Lactobacillus reuteri. Conclusion: The lectin may be used in animal diet to improve digestibility and support gastrointestinal tract health.
Keywords: Inhibitor agent; lectin; prebiotic; purification; Phyto hemagglutinins; rice grains.

Authors: Fedkin Niko Markovich , Stauffer Ryan Michael , Thompson Anne M. , Kollonige Debra E. , WECHT HOLLI D , Elguindi Nellie
Published: July 2023

The Outer Continental Shelf of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is populated
with numerous oil and natural gas (ONG) platforms which produce NOx (NOx
= NO + NO2), a major component of air pollution. The Bureau of Ocean
Energy Management (BOEM) is mandated to ensure that the air quality of
coastal states is not degraded by these emissions. As part of a
NASA-BOEM collaboration, we conducted a satellite data-based analysis of
nitrogen dioxide (NO2) patterns and trends in the GOM. Data from the OMI
and TROPOMI sensors were used to obtain 18+ year records of tropospheric
column (TrC) NO2 in three GOM regions: 1) Houston urban area, 2) near
shore area off the Louisiana coast, and a 3) deepwater area off the
Louisiana coast. The 2004-2022 time series show a decreasing trend for
the urban (-0.027 DU/decade) and near shore (-0.0022 DU/decade) areas,
and an increasing trend (0.0019 DU/decade) for the deepwater area.
MERRA-2 wind and TROPOMI NO2 data were used to reveal several NO2
hotspots (up to 25% above background values) under calm wind conditions
near individual platforms. The NO2 signals from these deepwater
platforms and the high density of shallow water platforms closer to
shore were confirmed by TrC NO2 anomalies of up to 10%, taking into
account the monthly TrC NO2 climatology over the GOM. The results
presented in this study establish a baseline for future estimates of
emissions from the ONG hotspots and provide a methodology for analyzing
NO2 measurements from the new geostationary TEMPO instrument.

Authors: Pragastio Gigih Amayu , Garside Annisa Kesy , Saputro Thomy Eko
Published: July 2023

Along with the increasingly tight competition, companies are required to always be consistent in improving the quality of its products. Improvement of product quality can be achieved through minimization or even reduction of product defects. This study aims to minimize defects by providing improvement suggestions based on critical failure modes The Six Sigma approach is adopted to reduce the occurrence of product defects. The FMEA-FSWARA-FWASPAS FMEA method is integrated in the six sigma approach, especially to determine the priority of failure modes and the recommended efforts to minimize failure modes that trigger product defects. FSWARA is used to determine severity, occurrence, and detection weights as failure mode assessment criteria. Meanwhile, determination of the critical failure mode is based on the results of the evaluation using FWASPAS. This research is based on a case study in which 5 types of defects were found, namely, skewness, underfilling, leaks, broken lids, and broken boxes. The main causes lie in the human factor and the machine factor. The results showed that there were 3 critical failure modes, namely, the wrong setting of the cutter timer by the operator, the frequent change in the heater temperature, and material getting damaged

Applying Literary Composition to Comparative Research on Hyun Jin-Geon and Nam Cao, Two Authors in General Literature Education Program of Korea and Vietnam
Authors: Park Gwi Ju
Published: July 2023

This is a comparative study of two works by Nam Cao and Hyun Jin-Geon dealing with intellectuals, Hyun Jin-Geon's “My Destitute Wife” and Nam Cao's “A Redundant Life”. I have focused on the comparison of the narrative perspective and the artistic view of the two works as the main part of this comparative study. These two works both deals with the story of a married couple. Also, both of the stories feature a husband who is a poor writer. Works of realism are created from an objective point of view. In accordance with such characteristics, Hyun Jin-Geon's work objectively and calmly depicts the narrator even though it is from a first-person point of view. On the other hand, Nam Cao's work is based on an objective narrative point of view in which the characters in the work, the wife and husband, appear in the third person perspective, but express Nam Cao's unique polyphonic voice through the movement of perspective. These similarities and differences contain the same artistic intention to create works with vitality that go beyond realism or narrative perspectives. Their views on art share a valuable literary idea sufficient to lay the groundwork for realism in both countries. It is true that the history and culture of Korea and Vietnam are different from each other in their views on art, but their artistic ideas have provided high value to the literature of both countries. They use their own language to capture the cry of those who suffer, face the cause of life becoming hopeless, and urge them to live their lives with all their might. As writers under colonial rule, they were writers who conveyed light in the darkness of history. Their artistic conception does not stop at targeting intellectuals as in this study but also conveys the same message in other works relating stories of women and the lower classes.
Cp*Co-catalyzed directed hydrogen isotope exchange with substrate-dependent deuterium source
Authors: Barranco Sergio , Zaik Inbal , Zhang Jiayu , Milo Anat , Perez-Temprano Monica
Published: July 2023

Despite the growing interest in directed Hydrogen Isotope Exchange (HIE) reactions, the existing synthetic protocols mainly rely on noble metals and the choice of the deuterium source remains unclear. Herein, we developed different reaction conditions to enable the site-selective Cp*Co-catalyzed deuteration of aromatic compounds containing up to twenty prevalent coordinating directing groups, with two readily available deuterium sources, D2O and CD3OD. Our protocol enables the labelling of diverse complex molecules. By modelling the data obtained in the reaction scope through multivariable linear regression (MLR), we suggest that a shift in the substrate-dependent mechanism dictates the need for a specific source of deuterium.
Investigation of the Relationships between Coat Colour, Sex, and Morphological Characteristics in Donkeys Using Data Mining Algorithms
Authors: Çelik Şenol , Yılmaz Orhan
Published: July 2023

This study was carried out in order to determine the morphological characteristics, body coat colour distribution, and body dimensions of donkeys raised in Turkey, as well as to determine the relationships between these factors. For this reason, the predictive performance of various machine learning algorithms (i.e., CHAID, Random Forest, ALM, MARS, and Bagging MARS) were compared, utilising the biometric data of donkeys. In particular, mean measurements were taken from a total of 371 donkeys (252 male and 119 female) with descriptive statistical values as follows: height at withers, 100.7 cm; rump height, 103.1 cm; body length, 103.8 cm; chest circumference, 112.8 cm; chest depth, 45.7 cm; chest width, 29.1 cm; front shin circumference, 13.5 cm; head length, 55 cm; and ear length, 22 cm. The body colour distribution of the donkeys considered in this study was calculated as 39.35% grey, 19.95% white, 21.83% black, and 18.87% brown. Model fit statistics, including the coefficient of determination (R2), mean square error, root-mean-square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and standard deviation ratio (SD ratio), were calculated to measure the predictive ability of the fitted models. The MARS algorithm was found to be the best model for defining the body length of donkeys, with the highest R2 value (0.916) and the lowest RMSE, MAPE, and SD ratio values (2.173, 1.615, and 0.291, respectively). The experimental results indicate that the most suitable model is the MARS algorithm, which provides a good alternative to other data mining algorithms for predicting the body length of donkeys.

Entre Preces e Negociações
Authors: Cabral Bernabé Renata
Published: July 2023

Após o cristianismo ser proibido no Japão, por força de um edito promulgado em 1614, os membros da Companhia de Jesus sofreram duras críticas dos missionários de outras ordens. No ano seguinte ao edito, o frade franciscano Sebastião de São Pedro redigiu um tratado no qual culpava os jesuítas por terem provocado a perseguição no Japão. Para Sebastião, a participação da Companhia de Jesus no comércio da seda chinesa vendida no Japão pelos comerciantes portugueses criara uma série de inimizades com autoridades japonesas que, para se verem livres dos jesuítas, prejudicaram toda a cristandade. Em 1617, o provincial jesuíta Valentim Carvalho, compôs uma Apologia rebatendo as críticas do frade. Através das problemáticas levantadas por essas duas obras, esse artigo pretende analisar e envolvimento dos jesuítas no comércio da seda assim como os acordos que os padres costuraram com lideranças locais e comerciantes portugueses.

A soja é uma cultura de extrema importância socioeconômica para o país.Os efeitos nocivos do sal para a cultura, manifestam-se principalmente na emergência das plantas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência do estresse salino provocado pela presença de sais em diferentes concentrações na emergência de plantas de soja e sua interação com diferentes biofertilizantes. Adotou-se delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, sendo sete tratamentos com cinco repetições, totalizando 35 unidades experimentais. Os tratamentos foram submetidos a dois níveis de potenciais osmóticos (0,0 e -0,6 MPa) por meio do uso de cloreto de sódio (NaCl) para simulação de estresse salino associados a 3 tipos biofertilizantes a base de aminoácidos e substâncias húmicas e fúlvicas. Aos 21 dias após a semeadura foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: tempo médio de emergência (TME); área foliar, altura de plântulas, massa fresca e número de folhas. À medida que o potencial osmótico do meio se tornou mais negativo, pode-se verificar uma redução drástica no índice de emergência, área foliar e atraso no tempo médio de emergência. A altura de plântula foi afetada pelos níveis de salinidade, podendo observar que conforme as concentrações dos sais na solução aumentaram, houve uma drástica queda na altura das plântulas. Os efeitos benéficos da aplicação de biofertilizante sobre o crescimento e desenvolvimento da plântula, foram menos expressivos no maior nível de salinidade da água.

Published: July 2023

Abstract—This study aimed to analyze statistically and descriptively any incidents that emerged in Indonesia in 2018-2022. The data applied in this study was the incidents number incidents of 15 circumstances types that happened in Indonesia in the last 5 years. The results of the descriptive statistical analysis revealed that ship accidents at sea and illegal fishing were considered to be the most frequent incidents during the last 5 years with 421.6 on average per five years followed by incidents of fish theft data with 79.4 on average per five years. Meanwhile, the fewest incidents that arose during those years were weapons smuggling with only 0.6 on average per five years. Thus, it sums up that Indonesia still needs to make better action in dealing with incidents that occur in this country, especially illegal fishing incidents and accident data which is still expanding from year to year. In addition, further research is required to study the factors that can emerge from various incidents including developing more effective strategies to prevent the occurrence of these incidents in the future.Keywords—incidents, accident, fish theft, strategy

Spirometry is a lung function test, whose main objective is to evaluate lung mechanics. It is a test that is currently easily accessible, but little used by anesthesiologists. One cause may be that they are not familiar with the analysis and understanding of said test or the lack of a pulmonary physiology laboratory in their hospitals. The proper analysis and understanding of this test by the general and thoracic anesthetist offers a range of possibilities both for the perioperative evaluation of the patient with pulmonary pathology or the one who will undergo thoracic surgery. Having a great impact by influencing the prognosis and management of these patients.
Case report : cancer of stomach
Authors: Dighikar Vrushali
Published: July 2023

Background: Maximum (about 90% to 95%) gastrointestinal malignancies are adenocarcinomas. Stomach cancer or gastric cancer is almost always an adenocarcinoma. These cancers develop from the cells that form the innermost lining of the stomach (the mucosa). Most people who are diagnosed with stomach cancer are over age 60. Case report: The disease rarely occurs before age 50. In this report, I describe a case of stomach cancer or adenocarcinoma of the stomach. A 60-year-old male name is Gautam Ingle religion is Hindu, lives in the Amravati district and was referred to A.V.B.R. hospital for further evaluation of the gastric tumour diagnosed by a primary care doctor. He was coming with the chief complaint of pain in the epigastric region, unable to pass stool, bulky stool, feeling full after eating small amounts of food, nausea, heartburn or indigestion in the last month. He was 170.9 cm tall and weighed 58.1 kg (body mass index 19.9). I report the case of a 60-year-old male who was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy indicated advanced cancer in the posterior wall of the gastric body, and ulcer proliferative growth was seen in body of the stomach. Biopsy revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient is undergoing postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 and has remained well without any recurrence after 6 months following surgery. Conclusion: We encountered a rare case that achieved a PCR with advanced gastric cancer treated by standard regimen (SP).

Y cuyo objetivo es comprender y dar a conocer las dificultades que conlleva la aplicación en las diferentes comunidades educativas nacionales, ya que muchas veces se ven entorpecidas por la generalidad de estas disposiciones, falta de claridad en ciertas acciones para su desarrollo práctico y reconocimiento a la urgencia de considerar ciertas condiciones laborales para ejecutar la multiplicidad de funciones que son solicitadas. Por medio de un cuadro comparativo de las últimas disposiciones legales, se buscará generar un análisis de las similitudes y diferencias entre éstas, como también evidenciar el desarrollo en la práctica de los orientadores y las orientadoras en Chile. En conclusión, se hace imperioso generar modificaciones a esta última actualización legal del Ministerio de Educación, con el fin de dar respuesta a estas necesidades que no estarían siendo consideradas a plenitud; como también, facilitarles las condiciones necesarias a los respectivos orientadores chilenos y a las respectivas orientadoras chilenas para que apoyen eficientemente a los y las estudiantes y con ello, finalmente, entregarle una orientación de calidad a cada estudiante de cualquier escuela y liceo de Chile.

Published: July 2023

El presente estudio se da en el contexto de las movilizaciones de 2016 ocurridas en Chiloé, Chile, relacionadas con la presencia de una marea roja que restringió el abastecimiento de recursos marinos, principal fuente laboral y económica de la población. Ante este desastre socioambiental se evaluó el grado de afectación, niveles de trauma psicosocial (TPS) y crecimiento postraumático (CPT) en la población (N=89), junto con la relación entre estas variables. La muestra completa señala que el desastre alteró su vida de manera importante (33,7%) o severamente (41,6%), considerándolo como un trauma importante (28,1%) o severo (37,1%) para sus vidas. Un análisis de regresión múltiple realizado indica que el CPT personal es predicho por las variables de autoeficacia personal y colectiva y la situación pretraumática (R2 corregido =0,15). No se generaron modelos de regresión significativos para el CPT comunal y societal. Se discute la necesidad de abordar los efectos de fenómenos sociales a partir de variables psicosociales como las propuestas y su relevancia en la intervención social o comunitaria. Además, se señala la relevancia de contar con escalas de medición que se adecúen a estos contextos.

Published: July 2023

A importância da comunicação no trabalho da equipe interdisciplinar de saúde é vista como determinante na qualidade e na segurança para a prestação de cuidados aos indivíduos. A segurança do paciente se tornou uma tendência global nos últimos tempos nas instituições prestadoras de saúde, sendo a comunicação efetiva meta a ser atingida pela equipe interdisciplinar, como também proporcionar um ambiente de trabalho harmonioso com assistência sem danos. O enfermeiro responsável pela Comissão de Controle de Infecção Hospitalar (CCIH) é o precursor em desenvolver e trabalhar para colocar em prática as recomendações do MS/ANVISA. Contudo, muitas vezes o enfermeiro tem mais de uma função para desemprenhar, além do cargo de controlador de infecção relacionada à assistência. A comunicação surge como instrumento facilitador do processo de interação entre profissionais, evitando possíveis barreiras que, de um lado, venham causar quaisquer incidentes ou até mesmo um evento adverso,colocando em risco a efetividade do enfermeiro CCIH perante a segurança do paciente. Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar e descrever a importância da comunicação efetiva do enfermeiro da CCHI frente à equipe multidisciplinar, por meio da revisão de literatura em bases de dados eletrônicos – Medline; Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs) e de Dados de Enfermagem (BDEnf), partindo da pergunta: “Por que há eventos adversos no processo, com todos os recursos informativos disponíveis pelos órgãos de saúde?”. A pesquisa objetiva também ressaltar a valorização do processo de comunicação como componente básico e relevante ao compreendimento das recomendações da CCIH. Sugere-se que a comunicação na atuação do enfermeiro é uma das mais importantes habilidades desempenhadas e uma ferramenta essencial. Por meio da comunicação efetiva que a CCIH poderá avaliar o desempenho da equipe multidisciplinar na assistência prestada. A partir dessa avaliação, o profissional poderá reparar erros, incrementar medidas e/ou reformular ações, promovendo segurança do paciente e minimizando os eventos adversos.

Barely one month before leaving office, President George H. W. Bush ordered28,000 American troops into Somalia. It was the largest American humanitarianoperation in many years. The operation was intended to halt the starvation ofthousands of Somali civilians caught in the crossfire of warring factionsjockeying for power following the collapse of the country’s central government.In the end, the operation failed. This paper seeks first, to examine the basis andnature of the framing of this event by American news and entertainment mediaduring the American adventure in Somalia and in the aftermath of the events ofSeptember 11, 2001, and second, to explore the image of the Somali created in theAmerican public mind by this framing.

Authors:   , Temba Sylvester Gerald
Published: July 2023

The present study was carried out to investigate acaricidal potencies of Commiphora swynnertonii (Burtt) stem bark exudate against ticks Rhepicephalus appendiculatus and evaluate its toxicity using mice and rats. Commiphora swynnertonii exudate was prepared in soap solution and evaluated against the R. appendiculatus using adult immersion test method (AIT). The percent mortality, Index of laying eggs and percentage hatching were determined at concentrations of 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 25 and 12.5 mg/ml. The acute and sub-acute toxicity was determined by oral administration of the exudates to mice and rats at 500, 1000, 3000 and 250, 500, 1000 mg/Kg body weight respectively as a single (14 days) and daily dosing (28days). Physiological, behavioral changes, hematology, relative internal organs weights, biochemical and histopathology were assayed. Results show that at concentration above 25mg/ml there was significant mortality (p<0.05) of ticks treated with C. swynnertonii exudates. Inhibition of laid eggs was found to be significant at concentration greater than 90mg/ml (p<0.05). In addition hatching of eggs was completely inhibited in all treated groups. On the other hand oral toxicity results showed that, administration of C. swynnertonii exudates in mice and rats did not result into any observable toxicity during the experimental period. The current results indicate that C. swynnertonii exudate extract soap solution have acaricidal activity against R. appendiculatus and can be used as alternative measure to control ticks. Having lower toxicity levels reveal initial strategy for further findings and finally formulation acaricides from the plant exudate.

Introduction: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) has a great impact on maternal and foetal outcome. Timely diagnosis and proper management have immense importance to prevent adverse outcomes. Aim: To determine the incidence rate of GDM, and its risk factors and also to determine the importance of re-screening for detection of GDM at 32-34 weeks. Materials and Methods: A hospital-based longitudinal study was conducted from April 2020 to June 2021 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Burdwan Medical College, Burdwan, West Bengal, India. Screening and diagnosis for GDM were performed by estimating a 2-hour blood glucose level after intake of 75gm of glucose, irrespective of the meal at 24-28 weeks by one-step procedure i.e., Diabetes in Pregnancy Study groups in India (DIPSI). A total of 300 antenatal mothers were selected serially from antenatal Out Patient Department (OPD). All the screennegative pregnant women were re-screened again at 32-34 weeks. Demographic variables and maternal risk factors like age, parity, Body Mass Index (BMI), family history of diabetes, previous GDM, previous history of foetal loss macrosomia and polyhydramnios were noted. Foeto-maternal complications like hypoglycaemia, Intrauterine Foetal Death (IUFD), preeclampsia and sepsis were recorded. Frequency and percentage of each parameter was calculated. The risk estimates between GDM and without GDM were analysed by odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and p-value were calculated. The p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The screen-positive cases for GDM were 26 (8.7%) at 24- 28 weeks and 8 (2.9%) at 32-34 weeks of gestation. Preeclampsia was noted in 5 (14.7%) cases and 4 (11.8%) GDM mothers suffered from Postpartum Haemorrhage (PPH) (p-value<0.0001). Rate of caesarean section was high 76.5% among GDM mothers (p-value<0.0001). Average birth weight of new born baby of mothers with and without GDM were 2.5324±0.6503 kg and 2.7297± 0.2145 kg, respectively (p-value0.0003). IUFD was noted in 2 (5.9%) cases. Preterm delivery was observed in 25 (73.5%) cases and admission to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) was 11 (32.4%) (p-value<0.001). Out of 274 pregnant mothers who had blood sugar <140 mg/dL by DIPSI method at 24-28 weeks were designated as screen negative and they were re-screened at 32-34 weeks of gestation. Eight cases (2.92%) were found screen positive after re-evaluation (odds ratio, 3.1551, 95% CI, 1.4033-7.0938, p-value=0.00358). Conclusion: Pregnancy in women with GDM has an increased risk of maternal and perinatal complications. Timely screening and diagnosis of GDM and appropriate treatment can reduce adverse foeto-maternal outcomes. Re-screening of initial screen negative women is very important, otherwise significant number of cases will be missed.
