Authors: M Rajalakshmi , Dongre Amol R.
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND Obesity is characterized by abnormal or excessive fat accumulation and is one of the major health concerns affecting young children, adolescents, and adults, the world over. The main predisposing factors for many non-communicable diseases are overweight and obesity which has high mortality than underweight. Hence, we aimed to study the determinants of obesity. METHODS A cross-sectional study was undertaken among the representative sample of 590 adults in 50 villages of Villupuram district, Tamilnadu. Data was collected by house-to-house survey. Data collection was done using WHO Step questionnaire step-1 and step-2. Analysis was done using SPSS 24 software package. RESULTS The overall prevalence of overweight and obesity was 18.3 % and 33.6 % respectively. Female gender, less physical activity and less consumption of vegetables and fruits were identified as significant risk factors for obesity. CONCLUSIONS More than half (52 %) of adults have overweight or obesity, and some of the factors identified as determinants are preventable. Hence, primordial preventive measures should be applied for reducing BMI in early phase of life especially school going children. KEYWORDS Community, Determinants, Overweight, Obesity, Rural

Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND It has been recently reported that breast abscess can be managed more efficiently with USG guided aspiration as well as incision and closed suction drainage (minimally invasive drainage of breast abscess) with equivalent results when compared to the conventional I & D. we wanted to compare the conventional mode of incision & drainage of breast abscess with the minimally invasive drainage of breast abscess in terms of post op pain, duration of hospital stay, resolution time, cosmetic appearance. METHODS This is an observational study conducted among 50 breast abscess cases, in the age group of 18 – 40 years, admitted under General Surgery Department of Govt. Medical College, Alappuzha, between January 2017 - January 2018. 50 patients included in the study were divided into two groups - group A - conventional I & D of their breast abscess, and group B - getting minimally invasive drainage of their breast abscess. Analysis was done using the SPSS software. RESULTS In terms of post-op pain, duration of hospital stay, resolution time & cosmetic appearance the results were statistically significant and it was found that the minimally invasive breast abscess drainage was better than the conventional I & D. CONCLUSIONS Primary closure and placement of suction drain (minimally invasive drainage of breast abscess) is a better method of breast abscess drainage when compared with the Conventional I & D.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability ofreplacing the germination test in the calculation of seed quantity with theresults of the field emergence and accelerated aging tests. The experiment wasconducted using a randomized block design in a 2x5 factorial scheme: twolevels of seed vigor and five levels of seeding safety margin (0, 5, 10, 15 and20%) using untreated seeds of the hybrid Defender Viptera 3. The evaluatedparameters were percentage of germination, field emergence and acceleratedaging. The analyzed variable, plant stand, was submitted to analysis of varianceat the 5% significance level and, when significant, the results were submittedto the Mean Percentage Error statistical procedure to determine the degree ofproximity between forecast and observed values of stand density. The resultsshowed that, requiring a smaller safety margin, the results of field emergenceand accelerated aging tests applied in the seeding rate calculation were moreaccurate than germination for stand density estimation. For so, nevertheless,they required larger amounts of seeds in sowing operation to reach the samestand density obtained with the use of germination test.

The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is an important and promising tool for sustainable agriculture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphophysiological responses and nutrient uptake of maize plants inoculated with A. brasilense under two water conditions. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse with ten treatments: five A. brasilense inoculants (Control, Az1, Az2, Az3 and Az4) inoculated in the seed and two water conditions - irrigated and water deficit. Treatments with water deficit were imposed at the V6 stage for a period of 15 days. The phytotechnical characteristics, gas exchange, root morphology, shoot, root and total dry matter, as well as nutrient analysis, were evaluated after water deficit. Azospirillum brasilense (Az1, Az2, Az3 and Az4) yielded higher growth, increased gas exchange and nutrient uptake under irrigation conditions. Inoculation by Az1 and Az3 benefited the root architecture of maize plants, with a greater exploitation of the soil profile by these roots. Water deficit caused a reduction in the development of maize plants. Inoculation by Az1, Az2 and Az3 can improve plant growth, nutrient uptake and mitigate the effects of water deficit in the development of maize plants.
Memórias dos professores-artistas de dança: experiências de seus primeiros passos e suas ressonâncias
Authors: Junqueira Mariana Lopes , Souza Marco Aurelio da Cruz , Carvalho Carla
Published: November 2020

Ao ingressar no curso de Dança – Licenciatura, o acadêmico já possui uma trajetória com a Dança anterior ao curso e, por vezes, chega no ensino superior já atuando como docente em ambientes não formais de ensino. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar experiências dos acadêmicos em sua trajetória na Dança e suas ressonâncias enquanto docentes. Os dados foram gerados por meio de um trabalho de uma disciplina do curso de Dança – Licenciatura, de uma universidade localizada no Sul do País, no qual 18 acadêmicos registraram suas memórias sobre suas aulas de dança enquanto estudantes no ensino não formal. Ao escrever e refletir sobre sua própria trajetória na Dança, os acadêmicos conseguem identificar ressonâncias dessas experiências enquanto docentes. Utilizamos como aporte teórico autores que abordam a experiência (LARROSA, 2016), as pedagogias no ensino da dança (STINSON, 1995) e as narrativas utilizadas em percursos de formação (JOSSO, 2007). Os relatos sinalizam que a maioria dos acadêmicos tiveram suas primeiras vivências em dança em espaços não formais ou informais de ensino e que a dança está pouco presente na Educação Básica, até mesmo como forma de nutrição estética. Os acadêmicos indicam dilemas das aulas de dança, como aulas em espaços inadequados, a pouca presença de meninos nas aulas, o preconceito e a utilização da metodologia tradicional, mesmo em diferentes espaços de ensino e estilos de dança. Alguns registros apontam vivências em aulas baseadas nas pedagogias crítica, criativa e feminista, sinalizando uma mudança de pensamento sobre a Dança no seu cotidiano docente.
The deontological perspective of sustainable development
Authors: Płachciak Adam , Mukarutesi Dative
Published: November 2020

The idea of sustainable development as a normative concept emphasizes the necessity for a wider consensus on meeting human needs, ensuring social equity, and respecting planetary boundaries. The purpose of the article focuses on the deontological orientation in perceiving sustainable development. It is expected that looking at sustainability from the deontological perspective might increase individuals’ awareness of responsibility towards respecting the needs of the world’s poor, environmental boundaries, and moral equity, which emphasizes that all people are equal. Any attempt to achieve sustainability demands, first of all, rational action placed on moral duties/obligations before individual people or institutions can achieve their particular desires and goals. According to this perspective, sustainability should be treated as a prior constraint in obtaining economic maximization.

Published: November 2020

El objetivo del presente trabajo de investigación es analizar el impacto positivo de la certificación BASC en la cadena logística de empresas exportadoras de harina de pescado con sub partida número 2301201100 hacia Japón durante los años 2014-2018. Se considera dicho periodo, ya que durante esos años se observó que las exportaciones de harina de pescado han presentado una tendencia positiva. Asimismo, se escogió dicho país, puesto que es uno de los más representativos dentro de la información encontrada en SUNAT. Cabe mencionar que el Perú se encuentra entre los diez principales países exportadores de harina de pescado. El mercado de China es el principal destino de salida de las exportaciones de harina de pescado, pero en este estudio se considerará al país de Japón. Cada vez más la población asiática consume más derivados del pescado por lo cual la demanda está aumentando. Para analizar el impacto positivo de la certificación BASC en la cadena logística se ha realizado una investigación cuantitativa, utilizando la herramienta de la encuesta a 30 ejecutivos expertos en logística y comercio exterior de un total de 7 principales empresas exportadoras de harina de pescado hacia el mercado de Japón. Es importante acotar que estas empresas representan el 80% de las exportaciones en el periodo seleccionado. Para realizar el análisis debido se ha utilizado el programa estadístico SPSS, con el propósito de evaluar las hipótesis descritas.

Published: November 2020

El presente estudio de investigación se centra en determinar si la dimensión recompensa es el factor principal que influye en el clima laboral del personal en las Pymes. Toda empresa debe de encontrar la mejor manera de mantener y mejorar su clima laboral, porque de ello dependerá mucho la estabilidad y sostenibilidad de la organización. Un empleado feliz crea un gran clima laboral, contando así con trabajadores mucho más involucrados y comprometidos con la empresa. Sin embargo, al no tomar la atención adecuada, solo se creará un mal ambiente y mala organización por no saber a dónde ir o que objetivo cumplir, sintiéndose así desmotivados. Es por ello, que hemos abordado investigar 11 empresas que representan parte del sector económico del país; pero que muchas de ellas son informales y mantener un buen clima laboral es una de las tareas más difíciles que enfrentan ya que en su mayoría son empresas familiares que no cuentan con el conocimiento adecuado para gestionar a su personal. Así lo manifiesta Ricardo Martinez de HR IN “Nadie puede negar que el Perú es un país de emprendedores donde predominan las pequeñas y medianas empresas ( pymes), sin embargo los empresarios no apuestan por mejorar la gestión de sus recursos humanos, ya que lo consideran más como un "gasto" y no como una inversión.”. 1 En este sentido, se seleccionó 11 empresas en la cual se medirá el clima laboral tomando como muestra los cuestionarios desarrollados por los autores Litwin y Stringer, instrumento que nos permitirá obtener datos cuantitativos con el fin de responder el planteamiento de la investigación para proceder a descubrir las posibles soluciones que vayan acorde con el objetivo de la misma, describiéndose finalmente la formulación de hipótesis. Cabe resaltar, que dicho tema de investigación será útil para la comunidad académica que desee iterar al respecto con otras pequeñas y medianas empresas en el Perú y América Latina, ya que hoy día las Pymes son empresas que están en crecimiento constante y más aún por la importancia de contar con un buen y adecuado clima laboral como ventaja competitiva para afrontar a sus competidores.
A POSTCOLONIAL PERSPECTIVE OF A VOYAGE TO EGYPT IN THE TRAVELOGUE UNDER THE AFRICAN SUN BY MILORAD RAJČEVIĆ
Authors: MATIĆ UROŠ
Published: November 2020

Milorad Rajčević (1890–1964), a famous Serbian traveller, adventurer, and travelogue writer, also went to Egypt in 1921 as part of his world travels. Impressions and experiences from his travels were published consecutively in Belgrade magazine Little Journal and in the form of monographs Under the African Sun (1924 and 1925) and In the Far East (1930). These writings provide us with an important insight into the Serbian bourgeois class image of both ancient Egypt and Egypt in the time Rajčević made his journey. His impressions and experiences from Egypt were transmitted through his travelogue Under the African Sun and were shaped by colonial discourse of a European traveller. It provides us with an insight into the attitudes towards ancient and modern Egypt before academic interest in studying ancient Egyptian past in Serbia. The travelogue contains numerous Orientalist ideas about Arabic population of Egypt. From the point of view of history of archaeology, particularly important are his comments on progress and modernisation. In that context, his comparisons of European with Ancient Egyptian cultural and technical achievements play a significant role. This paper analyses the content of the travelogue Under the African Sun from a postcolonial perspective and argues that although certain ideas inherent to colonial episteme of his time can be recognized, it is not possible to pinpoint the exact sources Rajčević used.

The presence of Zelus renardii (Kolenati, 1856) (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Harpactorinae), is documented for the first time in northern Italy (Liguria region) and in Sicily. This invasive species of nearctic origin was recorded for the first time in Europe in 2010 and in Italy in 2013. It is in rapid expansion in different areas of the world, especially in the Mediterranean basin and since it is extremely polyphagous its presence could represent a new threat for indigenous species and human activities.
17. YÜZYIL DİVAN ŞAİRLERİNDE KİMLİK OLARAK “BİZ”
Authors: TIRAŞ Yusuf Can
Published: November 2020

Kimlik, insanın nasıl bir kimse olduğunu ifade eden niteliklerdir. Özellikle, Batı’da başlayan Aydınlanma Çağı ile birlikte, on dokuzuncu yüzyıldan itibaren insan kim olduğunun peşine düşmüştür. Dönemin siyasi, kültürel ve ekonomik özellikleri bireylerin farklı kimlik kazanma sürecine yol açmıştır. Bu sürecin oluşumu insanın “ben kimim” sorusuna vermiş olduğu cevapla başlamıştır, denilebilir. Ben kimliğinin farkına varan ve onu tanımlamaya çalışan insan, bir süre sonra ait olduğu sosyal çevrenin etkisiyle “biz” kimliğini de inşa etmiştir. Bu sayede insan, tek başına ifade ettiğinde etkisiz kalan düşüncelerinin çoğulcu bir ifadeyle söylediğinde etkisinin daha fazla olduğunu fark etmiştir. Bu ifadeleri ortaya çıkaran dildir. Bu bağlamda, düşüncelerin ifade edilmesini sağlayan dil, şair ve yazarların en önemli aracı olmuştur. Bu makalede, Osmanlı Devleti’nin duraklama dönemi sayılan 17. yüzyılda yaşayan divan şairlerinin “biz” kimliğini nasıl kullandıkları incelenecektir. Bu sebeple, 17. yüzyılın önde gelen şairlerinden Nef’î, Nâbî, Sâbit, Nâilî-i Kadîm, Fehîm-i Kadîm ve Şeyhülislâm Yahyâ’nın divanları örneklem olarak seçilmiştir. Bu şairlerin divanlarında bulunan ve “biz” kimliğini ele alan şiirlerinde şairlerin daha cesur olduklarını görmek mümkündür. Öte yandan, şairin “kim” olduğu veya hangi düşünce yapısına sahip olduğu daha kolay anlaşılacaktır. Bu çalışmada amaç, divan şairleri özelinde, sanatçıların yaşadığı döneme kayıtsız kalamamalarını ve mutlaka söyleyecek sözleri olduğunu ortaya koymaktır.

Paraolimpíada ou paralimpíada no jornal Folha de S. Paulo
Authors: Lima Clevisvaldo Pinheiro
Published: November 2020

Em novembro de 2011, no lançamento das logomarcas oficiais dos jogos olímpicos e paraolímpicos ou paralímpicos do RIO 2016, o presidente do então Comitê Paraolímpico Brasileiro anunciou que o comitê brasileiro passaria a ser chamado de comitê paralímpico, bem como as paraolimpíadas passariam a ser nomeadas paralimpíadas. Embora tal decisão tenha sido acatada por diferentes meios de comunicação da imprensa brasileira, o Jornal Folha de São Paulo e sua plataforma online UOL, amparados em um discurso gramatical por meio de seu então colunista Pasquale Cipro Neto, decidiram pela não supressão do “o” desses termos e continuaram a enunciar em suas matérias paraolimpíada e paraolímpico. Nesse sentido, este trabalho visa compreender, pela história das ideias linguísticas, e utilizando como aporte teórico metodológico a análise de discurso materialista, de que ordem é essa disputa, entre a exigência de uma alteração ortográfica e sua não adesão pela Folha e pelo UOL.

Por uma reflexão sobre a "promessa" nos estudos performativos
Authors: Anjos Liliane Souza dos
Published: November 2020

Como ato de fala prototípico na tradição performativa, a promessa é analisada em diferentes estudos que promoveram leituras a respeito do legado de John L. Austin, como nos esforços de sistematização formal, em John Searle, ou mesmo a partir da dimensão do corpo, em Shoshana Felman. Este artigo revisita esse ato de fala em uma análise que busca explorar, com Jacques Derrida, a sua dimensão iterável, ao passo que reflete sobre a relação insustentável da promessa com o corpo e sobre sua subversão em relação ao político. Para isso, traz ao debate os trabalhos de Judith Butler e Joana Pinto, bem como a noção política de Jacques Rancière, em um diálogo que faz ver outros potenciais, falhas e infelicidades da promessa.

Publications after conference presentations: A systematic review of published studies
Authors: Grover Sandeep , N Dalton , Sarkar Siddharth
Published: November 2020

Background and aims: Conferences provide an opportunity to present findings to an audience of experts in the field and get feedback for putting the research in context. Since conference proceedings provide limited space for presenting the findings, research publications are able to provide a better platform for the wider reach, scrupulous peer evaluation, and temporal consolidation of the medical scientific material. This review attempts to collate the studies which have evaluated the abstract publication ratio of the conference presentations. Methods: The systematic review and meta-analysis included peer reviewed publications which quantitatively reported the publication rate of conference presentations. Results: A total of 28 studies were included, with sample sizes ranging from 82 to 1897 abstracts (total 17,172 abstracts). The publication rate ranged from 3.8% to 78.0%, with weighted mean publication rate of 41.8% (95% confidence interval of 34.1% to 49.5%). Oral presentations had a greater chance of being published as compared to poster presentations (odds ratio of 2.693, 95% confidence intervals of 1.285 to 5.646). There was high degree of heterogeneity in the findings. Conclusions: A small proportion of the conference presentations ispublished. Efforts should be made to improve the abstract publication ratio to improve the wider dissemination of the available research.

Published: November 2020

Groundwater is a vital resource for human welfare. However, due to various factors, groundwater pollution is one of the main environmental concerns facing. Yet, it is challenging to simulate groundwater quality dynamics due to the insufficient representation of nutrient percolation processes in the soil and Water Assessment Tool model. The objectives of this study were extending the SWAT module to predict groundwater quality. The results proved a linear relationship between observed and calculated groundwater quality considering No3 and TDS with R2, NSE and PBIAS values in the satisfied ranges, albeit underestimation and overestimation were observed due to limited data availability. These results highlight that nitrate and TDS concentrations and variability in groundwater may used as a tool in surface water quality that have to be assumed for designing adaptive management scenarios. Hence, extended SWAT model could be a powerful tool for future regional to global scale modelling of nutrient loads supporting effective surface and groundwater management.

Is CSR Assistance Effective for Islamic Based Community Development in Indonesia?
Authors: Hadi Nor , Baihaqi Jadzil
Published: November 2020

This article strives to examine which CSR assistance factors are effective in helping to alleviate the burdens of a community who lives near a cement site. The CSR factors are developed from underlying intens of Islamic law (maqasid al-sharia). The CSR activities which are done by the company towards the community residing near the site are in the form of community development and partnerships. This study was conducted in a community residing around a mine. Primary data were utilized. The data were retrieved with a survey technique, and 97 respondents were retrieved. Meanwhile, the data were analyzed by using a factor analysis. The analysis results depict that there are 6 kinds of education assistance in the CSR programs, where assistance in establishing free schools is not effective enough because it is used for employees’ children, while they comprise a very small portion of the community. There are 20 CSR health programs for the community, while the only one that is not very effective is the HIV prevention program, because the company does not implement an HIV prevention program for the community. There are 12 CSR programs for the environment, in which all of the programs are considered to be effective for the community. There are 6 CSR socio-religious programs, while only 2 of them are considered as not being effective, which are the holiday and animal sacrifice assistance. There are 4 CSR programs for public infrastructure, in which all of the programs are effective to alleviate the community’s burdens. There are 2 CSR programs for national holidays, in which all of the programs are effective for the community. There are 5 socio-cultural CSR programs, in which 2 of the CSR programs are considered to not be effective, which are the arts and culture mentoring as well as arts and culture festival assistance. There are 7 CSR programs for youth and sports activities, which are all considered effective for the community. There are 4 other CSR programs for social assistance, in which 2 of the programs are viewed as being ineffective, which are the retirement home and death assistance. There are 4 CSR programs for rotating fund assistance for SMEs, which are all deemed effective for the community. There are 3 CSR programs for managerial assistance for SMEs, in which 1 program is thought to be ineffective, which is the record keeping and accounting training program. There are 3 CSR programs for marketing assistance for SMEs, which are all considered effective for SMEs.

Published: November 2020

Background:

Tarsal coalitions are an important reason for foot pain in children. Early estimates placed the prevalence at up to 2%, while more recent data suggest that it is as high as 11% to 13%. To our knowledge, there have been no population-based studies to determine the true incidence of symptomatic tarsal coalitions in a pediatric population.

Methods:

A population-based database was used to identify all new diagnoses of symptomatic tarsal coalitions in children 18 years old or younger between 1966 and 2018. Patient records were reviewed for clinical data, and comparisons were made between the types and characteristics of the coalitions identified to determine differences in the affected populations. The annual age-specific, sex-specific, and type-specific incidence rates were estimated.

Results:

During the study period, 58 patients with a total of 79 symptomatic tarsal coalitions were identified (annual incidence = 3.5 per 100,000 children). There were 43 calcaneonavicular (CN) coalitions (annual incidence = 1.9 per 100,000 children), 27 talocalcaneal (TC) coalitions (annual incidence = 1.2 per 100,000 children), as well as 9 other coalitions (7 talonavicular, 1 naviculocuboid, and 1 naviculocuneiform) (annual incidence = 0.4 per 100,000 children). The overall incidence peaked between the ages of 10 and 14 years for both boys and girls (8.1 per 100,000 and 7.4 per 100,000 children, respectively). Statistical differences were identified between the types of tarsal coalitions. TC coalitions present at an older age relative to CN and other coalitions (mean,13.9, 12.7, and 11.4 years, respectively; p = 0.02). While CN and TC coalitions were similar in composition (23% and 30%, respectively, were osseous as opposed to fibrocartilaginous), other coalitions were more likely to be osseous (78%) (p = 0.0035). Other coalitions were also less likely to require surgery than CN and TC coalitions (11%, 74%, and 56%, respectively; p = 0.0015).

Conclusions:

This population-based study demonstrates differences in the clinical presentation of tarsal coalitions and provides an estimate of the true incidence of symptomatic tarsal coalitions in a pediatric population.
SOLVING THE PUZZLE OF THE BIVALVE SHELL FRAGMENT: INFERRING THE ORIGINAL ABUNDANCE AND SIZE FREQUENCY FROM THE FRAGMENTED RECORD
Authors: POWELL ERIC N.
Published: November 2020

Much of the contribution of bivalves to paleoecology is based on the fraction preserved whole. The use of fragments has been limited by the inability to reconstruct the whole shell. For this study, shells of selected species were broken, metrics obtained for shell reconstruction, and a stepwise model developed and tested to evaluate the potential of reconstructing whole shells from fragments. The model is based on the facts that shell thickness is well correlated with shell length, width, and weight, that fragments can be assigned to shell areas, and that each shell area can be matched to a potential donor shell by combinations of length, width, and weight. Simulations using the model show that shell reconstructions are feasible and that the size frequency can be reconstructed more accurately than the number of shells. If all fragments are preserved, shell number tends to be modestly overestimated. Assuming fragment loss, the shell number estimated will be a conservative estimate of original abundance. Reconstructed size frequencies did not differ significantly from the original size frequencies of the whole shells even if 40% of the fragments were not preserved. Biovolume, consequently, may also be estimable. Standardly, bivalve fragments are enumerated by counting intact umbos. If all fragments are preserved, this approach is preferable, as shell model reconstructions overestimate abundance under that circumstance. However, the expectation that fragments with intact umbos are uniquely well preserved is unrealistic and if fragment loss has occurred, relying on all fragments may provide an improved estimate of the original abundance and, in addition, an estimate of the size frequency and the latter proves to be robust even with 40% of the fragments lost.
Modeling the Contribution of Individual Coal Seams on Commingled Gas Production

Published: November 2020

In coal-seam-gas (CSG) fields, where single wells tap multiple seams, it is likely that some of the individual seams hardly contribute to gas recovery. This study aims to examine the contribution of individual seams to the total gas and water production considering that each seam can have different properties and dimensions. A sensitivity analysis using reservoir simulation investigates the effects of individual seam properties on production profiles.

A radial model simulates the production of a single CSG well consisting of a stack of two seams with a range of properties for permeability, thickness, seam extent, initial reservoir pressure, coal compressibility and porosity. The stress dependency of permeability obeys the Palmer and Mansoori (1998) model. A time coefficient (α) relates seam radius, viscosity, porosity, fracture compressibility, and permeability. It is used to aid interpretation of the sensitivity study. Finally, two hypothetical simulation scenarios with five seams of different thicknesses and depths obtained from producing wells are explored. The range in properties represents conditions found in the Walloon Coal Measures (WCM) of the Surat Basin, relevant to the Australian CSG industry.

Each seam in the stack achieves its peak production rate at different times, and this can be estimated using α. Seams with lower α reach the peak gas rate earlier than those with higher α-coefficient. The distinct behavior of gas-production profiles depends on the combination of individual seam properties and multiseam interaction. At a αratio > 1 (i.e., αtop/αbottom > 1), the bottom seam peaks first but achieves lower gas recovery than the top seam. An increasing αratio is associated with the inhibition of less-permeable seams and reduced overall well productivity. For αratio < 1, the top seam experiences fast depletion and total gas-production rates decrease drastically. This outcome is confirmed by a more realistic scenario with a higher number of coal layers. Poor combination of seams leads to severe production inhibition of some coal reservoirs and possible wellbore crossflow. The contrast of the seam-lateral extent in the stack and fracture compressibility play an important role in well productivity in the commingled operation of a stack of coal seams. Unfortunately, the lateral extent of individual coal seams is difficult to estimate and poorly known and, therefore, represents a major uncertainty in gas-production prognosis. The αratio analysis is a useful tool to gain understanding of modeled well productivity from commingled CSG reservoirs.

Background:The objective of the study was to describe the evolution of chronic non-AIDS related diseases and their risk factors, in patients living with HIV (PLHIV) in the French ANRS CO3 Aquitaine prospective cohort, observed both in 2004 and in 2014 in order to improve long-term healthcare management.Methods:The ANRS CO3 Aquitaine cohort prospectively collects epidemiological, clinical, biological and therapeutic data on PLHIV in the French Aquitaine region. Two cross sectional analyses were performed in 2004 and 2014, to investigate the patient characteristics, HIV RNA, CD4 counts and prevalence of some common comorbidities and treatment.Results:2,138 PLHIV (71% male, median age 52.2 years in 2014) were identified for inclusion in the study, including participants who were registered in the cohort with at least one hospital visit recorded in both 2004 and 2014. Significant increases in the prevalence of diagnosed chronic kidney disease (CKD), bone fractures, cardiovascular events (CVE), hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia, as well as an increase in treatment or prevention for these conditions (statins, clopidogrel, aspirin) were observed. It was also reflected in the increase in the proportion of patients in the “high” or “very high” risk groups of the disease risk scores for CKD, CVE and bone fracture score.Conclusions:Between 2004 and 2014, the aging PLHIV population identified in the French ANRS CO3 Aquitaine prospective cohort experienced an overall higher prevalence of non-HIV related comorbidities, including CKD and CVD. Long-term healthcare management and long-term health outcomes could be improved for PLHIV by: careful HIV management according to current recommendations with optimal selection of antiretrovirals, and early management of comorbidities through recommended lifestyle improvements and preventative measures.

Background. Non-communicable general and oral health conditions share common risk factors. Studies investigating common social determinants as risk factors for overweight/obesity and dental caries among the same adolescents are scarce and inconclusive. Methods. This cross-sectional study included data from 464 girls and 494 boys from the population-based Tromsø study Fit Futures, which included first-year students attending upper secondary school in 2010-2011 from two municipalities in Northern Norway (1038 participants in total, 93% participation rate). Multivariable binary logistic regression analyses stratified by sex were used to investigate the association between socioeconomic position indicators (adolescent’s own study program, parents’ education and employment status) and overweight/obesity indicated by body weight and waist circumference, untreated dental caries in dentine, and when these conditions were considered simultaneously.Results. Boys enrolled in the general studies and sports programs (versus vocational) had lower odds of being overweight/obese (POR 0.42, 95% CI 0.20-0.86 and POR 0.24, 95% CI 0.08-0.73, respectively), of having high waist circumference (POR 0.39, 95% CI 0.21-0.75 and POR 0.25, 95% CI 0.10-0.64, respectively), dental caries (POR 0.57, 95% CI 0.32-0.99 and POR 0.47, 95% CI 0.22-0.98, respectively), and being simultaneously overweight/obese, having high waist circumference and dental caries (POR 0.24, 95% CI 0.07-0.81 and POR 0.11, 95% CI 0.01-0.98, respectively). Girls enrolled in the general studies program (versus vocational) had lower odds of having dental caries (POR 0.50, 95% CI 0.30-0.84). Conclusions. Adolescent’s own study program was identified to be a common social determinant for overweight/obesity and dental caries among boys. These results support the broader concept of social determinants as common risk factors for general and oral health conditions, and call for common preventive strategies addressing these common social determinants among adolescents. However, there is a need for more studies to investigate and better understand the influence of social determinants on health conditions among adolescents.
