Published: April 2024

Groundwater mapping plays an important role in effective water resource management, sustainable development, and environmental protection. In the tropical Brunei Darussalam (north Borneo Island), groundwater mapping is yet to be provided. The aim of the study is to provide groundwater mapping of Brunei, particularly for the urban and coastal areas of the Brunei-Muara capital district. The study uses a GIS interpolation technique to generate a groundwater contour map based on groundwater data from 572 sacrificial boreholes located in the study area. Remote sensing data and published maps from secondary sources were digitised in ArcGIS software to produce thematic layers for further hydrological evaluations. Results showed that groundwater levels in the study area are generally high and shallow, ranging from 0 to 18 m below ground level with a mean value of 2.9 m. According to the evaluation of geo-thematic layers and groundwater contours, groundwater flows towards the South China Sea in the coastal areas and towards the Brunei River further inland. Hydraulic gradients towards the South China Sea also vary between 0.004 and 0.08. Thus, assuming surface aquifer thickness in the weathered zone between 10 to 20 m, hydraulic conductivities ranges from 1∙10−5 to 1∙10−4 m∙s−1, a submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) flux between 4.7∙10−7 to 4.0∙10−4 m3∙s−1 per unit width can be estimated for the shallow aquifer. This study provides valuable insights into the groundwater system dynamics so important, which are critical for its future utilisation and protection, aiming to contribute to the national water security in Brunei Darussalam.

Published: April 2024

In sequencing situations, it may affect parameters used to determine an optimal order in the queue, and consequently the decision of whether (or not) to rearrange the queue by sharing the realized cost savings. In this paper, we extend one machine sequencing situations and their related cooperative games under fuzzy uncertainty. Here, the agents costs per unit of time and processing time in the system are fuzzy intervals. In the sequel, we define sequencing fuzzy interval games and show that these games are convex. Further, fuzzy equal gain splitting rule is given. Finally, a numerical example is illustrated priority based scheduling algorithm.

Published: April 2024

Trypanorhynch cestode larvae were found parasitizing specimens of dusky flounder Syacium papillosum (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Southeastern Gulf of Mexico (s-GoM). Plerocercoids were recovered from a total of 194 flatfish, embedded in the intestine and stomach wall. Trypanorhynch were identified using morphology and a molecular phylogeny using newly sequenced partial 28S (region D1-D3) ribosomal DNA in combination with data derived from other species of trypanorhynchs available from GenBank. Larvae representing three genera of trypanorhynch cestodes, Nybelinia Poche, 1926; Kotorella Euzet & Radujkovic, 1989 and Oncomegas Dollfus, 1929 were found in dusky flounder specimens in the s-GoM. These plerocercoids represent six species: Nybelinia sp. 1, Nybelinia sp. 2, Nybelinia sp. 3, Nybelinia sp. 4, Kotorella pronosoma (Stossich, 1901) and Oncomegas wageneri (Linton, 1890) Dollfus, 1929. All cestode specimens in this study represent new locality records for their respective species.

Published: April 2024

The paper addresses the issue of evaluating the attractiveness of new airport connections, one of which is a global transfer hub and the other is a regional European international airport. The attractiveness of new connections expressed, for example, by predicting the demand for new flight routes has long been studied, mainly using gravity models. The aim of the presented paper is to check whether an approach based on gravity models could be replaced with other approaches, in this case by multi-criteria evaluation methods. Questions of substitution of approaches based on gravity models, compiled for demand prediction, are relevant in cases where there are not enough input data for existing gravity models. The absence of input data occurs especially in cases where either there is no historical data on the operation of flights, or historical data do not have current significance, e.g. the operation of the flight has been interrupted for a longer time. The results of a study carried out for Ostrava International Airport located in the Czech Republic, show that gravity models for which relevant data are not available can be fully replaced by multi-criteria evaluation methods.

Published: April 2024

Background: Primary dysmenorrhea is pain or tenderness during menstruation without any gynecological abnormalities. The main contributory cause to primary dysmenorrhea is an increase in prostaglandin production, one of which can be brought on by stress. Stress is the response of the human body to stressors and can be a defense system of the human body. It has been determined from numerous research that stress is relatively common among medical students. The stress experienced by female students can cause disturbances in the endocrine system so that it can be a trigger or a factor in aggravating the degree of dysmenorrhea.

Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between stress levels and the degree of primary dysmenorrhea in students of the Medical Undergraduate Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University.

Methods: This study used an observational analytic research study with a cross sectional design. By using total sampling, 81 students from the Medical Education Study Program at the Faculty of Medicine at Udayana University, year 2020, were selected as the research sample. Data on stress were obtained from filling out the PSS-10 questionnaire and data on primary dysmenorrhea were obtained from the NRS. Analysis of research data using chi-square test to determine the correlation between stress and primary dysmenorrhea.

Results: The results of the study showed that there was no relationship between stress and primary dysmenorrhea with a p-value of 0,79.

Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there is no significant relationship between stress levels and the degree of primary dysmenorrhea in students of the Medical Undergraduate Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University.

Newcastle disease and Avian Influenza are highly contagious viral diseases that can affect poultry with high mortality rates, and are zoonotic diseases that endanger humans. In this case study, broiler chickens aged 12 days were vaccinated at hatching and came from Yangapi Village, Tembuku, Bangli showed clinical symptoms of drooping neck or torticollis, no appetite, and greenish white diluted feces. Examinations are continued at each laboratory to obtain a definite diagnosis. The methods used are anatomical pathology examination, histopathology preparations, HA-HI examination, bacterial identification, and qualitative examination for paracites. The results of anatomical pathology examination found pathognomonic lesions, like ptechie in the proventriculus and ventriculus, enlargement and congestion in the lungs, hemorrhagic trachea, and hyperemic intestines. The results of histopathological examination showed marked changes with single-core inflammatory cells or lymphoid suggesting an infectious agent in the form of a virus. The results of the virology laboratory examination with the HA and HI test showed that the case chicken was positively infected by Newcastle Disease and Avian Influenza viruses. Bacteriology laboratory by culture of lung and intestinal organ samples was carried out on Nutrient Agar, followed by selective media Eosin Methylene Blue Agar, primary tests, gram staining, biochemical tests and sugar tests until the results showed that Escherichia coli bacteria grew from the chicken intestines and were classified as normal flora. The results of the examination related to parasites in the feces of case chickens by qualitative methods, natif, sedimentation concentration, and floating were confirmed not to be found worm eggs or coccidia. From this case study, it can be concluded that the case chicken was infected with Newcastle Disease and Avian Influenza viruses.

Diagnostic Instrument Design: Teleworking Efficiency Index
Authors: Maresca Gabriel Gustavo
Published: April 2024

Purpose: To present the design of a new diagnostic tool called “Telework Efficiency Index” that is able to evaluate the performance of the telework modality for any business activity.
 
Method: For the design of the telework efficiency index, it was necessary to reveal some current experiences of the phenomenon of telework in Argentina, carrying out a field investigation through surveys and in-depth interviews with three companies operating at national and international level, two of them belonging to the telecommunications and IT sector, and another, belonging to the tourism sector as a corporate agency.
 
Results and conclusion: The field research carried out for the design of a new teleworking diagnostic tool, shows quite strong results of the benefits associated with the company and its workers. There is a better balance between work and family/personal activity in terms of a proportion of time spent on the order of 45% for work activities and 35% for family and personal leisure activities. í 83.33% of respondents say that the link in the ón labor relationship has improved since teleworking, and with respect to the link with their íworkñ 60% say that it has improved. In addition, 60% said they were á with teleworking, and the remaining 40% were very satisfied. Being that 50% states that the level of stress at work has decreased and has significantly improved their quality of life at the same time as their work performance. é. The biggest deficiency in 76.66% lies in the imperative need to educate and train the skills and abilities of people to perform telework optimally. The telework efficiency index represents a diagnostic tool that evaluates the performance of telework, taking as a central axis of analysis the person who exercises telework over other variables of lower incidence such as the technological infrastructure and the economic and financial aspects of organizations.
 
Implications of research: A phenomenon of growing global trend is taken as a starting point, which emerges strongly in recent decades as a result of the great development of information and communication technologies in the productive and social field, and in particular, from the COVID-19 pandemic that has definitively consolidated telework as a new modality of work organization, which benefits all parties involved. In this framework, the design of a diagnostic tool "telework efficiency index" that evaluates the performance of telework is presented, and facilitates better strategic decisions in organizations in the new era that transits society and the productive sector.
 
Originality/value: This study allows to present to the productive community a new diagnostic tool that evaluates the performance of telework, where the psychological and emotional aspects of the people willing to exercise telework over technological issues are placed in the center of the scene. This tool provides an original contribution of analysis to the discipline, considering telework as a disruptive methodology of work organization.

Authors: Koratala Abhilash , Soni Nilam , Mehta Rupal , Reisinger Nathaniel
Published: April 2024

The rising demand for point of care ultrasound (POCUS) instruction during fellowship has been limited due to a shortage of trained faculty and courses designed specifically for . A hands-on POCUS was organized during the April 2023 National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Spring Clinical Meeting to address this challenge. The course consisted of lectures and a 4-hour hands-on workshop guided by multidisciplinary POCUS experts. The anonymous post-course survey received responses from 25 out of 39 participants, yielding a 64.1% response rate. On a scale of 0-10, confidence levels for acquiring kidney images rose from 2.6 + 2.3 (mean + SD) to 7.8 + 1.5 post-workshop (p<0.001). Similarly, a remarkable improvement in confidence for acquiring lung and cardiac images was seen as scores increased from 1.8 + 2.4 to 7.7 + 1.5 (p<0.001) and from 1.5 + 2.2 to 7.2 + 1.3 (p<0.001), respectively. Additionally, respondents reported a substantial improvement in their confidence to interpret kidney, lung, and cardiac POCUS images, with scores increasing from 4.5 + 2.2 to 7.7 + 1.1 (p<0.001), 2.3 + 2.4 to 7.6 + 1.5 (p<0.001), and 2 + 2 to 7.3 + 1.5 (p<0.001), respectively. Barriers to implementing POCUS use at institutions included a perceived lack of trained faculty, limited protected time for faculty, and insufficient support from division leadership. The NKF POCUS successfully improved participants’ confidence in acquiring and interpreting basic POCUS images.
A rare entity of primary hydatid cyst located between the two laiers of the intracranial dura in a child: a case report
Authors: Kadri Hassan , Dughly Mazen , Abouharb Raed , Bakleh Sameer
Published: April 2024

Background:

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. Intracranial hydatid cysts are rare and account for less than 3% of all cases of hydatid disease. Typically, these cysts are found in the intracerebral spaces. However, this study presents an extremely rare intradural hydatid cyst.

Case Presentation:

This study presents the case of an 8-year-old boy presented with a 3-month history of headache and vomiting without any neurological deficit. Full radiological investigations were performed, and only brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a large cerebral hydatid cyst located within the dura layers between the periosteal and the endosteal layers. Surgery was performed without cyst rupture, confirming the intracerebral intradural location.

Conclusion:

Early diagnosis and treatment for intracranial hydatid cysts are crucial to prevent complications such as neurological deficits, seizures, and even death. In this case, the intracerebral intradural location of the cyst is extremely rare.

Authors: Alatishe Kehinde Adesola , Taiwo Aofolajuwonlo
Published: April 2024

Background:

High-tension electrical burns are rare but devastating injuries with high mortality usually from overwhelming sepsis, poor cardiovascular support and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. However, survivors of such burns have varying degrees of injuries with significant morbidity especially after radical amputation to save their lives. The objective of this case report was to present this rare scenario and highlight the importance of prompt intervention and acute surgical management that improves survival.

Case Report:

This was a descriptive case report of a 23-year-old male, a survivor of high-tension electrical burns (11,000 volts) to both upper limbs. He was immediately admitted into the intensive care unit with ventilatory support and multi-disciplinary approach to care. He had some investigations which included daily full blood count, serum electrolytes, urea and creatinine, clotting studies, blood sugar, urine analysis, lactate level, iron and creatine kinase studies, chest X-rays, electrocardiogram and abdominopelvic scan. He had multiple blood products transfusion; antibiotic therapy, staged surgeries including bilateral shoulder disarticulation to control sepsis and preserve life. He was discharged home with healed disarticulated shoulders and satisfactory clinical condition after 35 days on admission.

Conclusion:

Early resuscitation, cardiovascular support in the intensive care unit, urgent wound debridement and amputation of devitalized limb were life-saving interventions. These prompt care improved his survival chances following high -tension electrical burns.
Case report of a pulmonary embolism in a patient with inferior vena cava compression by an 11 × 28 cm abdominal benign tumor
Authors: Morr Kristy El , Sabbagh Edwin , Rosin Fadiilah , Tawk Antonios , Khoury Antoine El
Published: April 2024

Background:

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition causing an abrupt reduction in blood flow in the pulmonary vasculature due to a migrating thrombus. The most cases are related to thromboembolism events originating in the lower limbs. However alternate etiologies should be suspected in certain clinical cases mainly in young patients with no risk factors.

Case Presentation:

We present a case of a young patient with proximal PE caused by compression on the inferior vena cava by an abdominal benign tumor measuring 11 × 28 cm. The patient was treated surgically and started on a therapeutic dose of Anticoagulation. The etiology of PE in this case was attributed to large vein compression promoting blood stasis and leading to thrombus formation.

Conclusion:

Os métodos contraceptivos desempenham um papel vital na saúde sexual e reprodutiva, oferecendo opções que permitem o planejamento familiar e a prevenção de gravidezes indesejadas. Este artigo busca descrever os benefícios e desvantagens dos principais anticoncepcionais presentes na atualidade por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, que buscou identificar os achados científicos publicados nos últimos 10 anos (2013 a fevereiro de 2023). A seleção de artigos foi feita nas bases eletrônicas de dados da PubMed, BVS, SciELO e no Google Acadêmico. Para a realização da revisão integrativa foi estabelecida a pergunta norteadora, para possibilitar a busca na base dados: Quais os benefícios e as desvantagens dos anticoncepcionais adesivo combinado, anel vaginal, sistema intrauterino de liberação de Levonorgestrel (SIU-LNG), contracepção de emergência (pílula de emergência), implante hormonal e anticoncepcional oral (ACO)? Um dos pontos mais notáveis nesta revisão foi a grande variedade de métodos contraceptivos e suas peculiaridades, que se adequam à necessidade da usuária, sendo, portanto, preciso uma análise cuidadosa do método a ser escolhido. Outro ponto de destaque, foi que apesar dos benefícios dos contraceptivos, também estão presentes os efeitos adversos e possíveis complicações, além das precauções em sua utilização.
