Biogeochemical Technologies for Managing CO2 Flows in Agroecosystems
Authors: Bashkin Vladimir , Alekseev Andrey , Levin Boris , Mescherova Evgenia
Published: January 2023

The review article discusses the application of biogeochemical technologies aimed at restoring biogeochemical cycles in agroecosystems, primarily in the microbial link regulating CO2 flows. The factors of management this microbial link when applying mineral and organic fertilizers are shown. The processes of mineralization of soil organic matter and methods of controlling soil's conjugate carbon- and nitrogen-mineralizing ability are considered. The changes in the productivity of agricultural ecosystems under conditions of increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and soil air are considered. Various agrotechnological techniques are considered, including using zero tillage, organic fertilizers of various nature, and various meliorants, including phosphogypsum. Examples of recultivation of disturbed and polluted soils, waterlogged and/or over-drained soils are given and the impact on CO2 fluxes is estimated. Based on numerous data, it is concluded that agroecosystems in most cases are a net source of CO2, and sequestration occurs only when agricultural land is transferred to fallow lands and at afforestation. At the same time, techniques aimed at reducing CO2 fluxes using fertilizers in the "production–application" cycle are evaluated. A set of biogeochemical technologies aimed at assessing and stabilizing the microbial link of the biogeochemical cycle in agroecosystems is presented. Examples of the use of these technologies for regulating CO2 emissions in agroecosystems are given. Using one of the biogeochemical technologies, the almost 5-fold decrease in the rate of CO2 flows during the reclamation of disturbed tundra ecosystems is shown. Adopting agricultural low carbon technologies (ALCTs) cannot yet testify to their applicability to ensure both food and environmental safety. It is necessary to further develop and use biogeochemical technologies to restore biogeochemical cycles in agroecosystems, primarily in the microbial link regulating CO2 flows.

Authors: Xie Xiaoli , Mu Xiangyang , Tao Nan , Yin Shi
Published: January 2023

Value co-creation in the digital innovation ecosystem is of great practical significance for promoting enterprise advantages and high-quality economic development. Digitalization reshapes the logic of value co-creation. Innovation activities are no longer focused only on the internal enterprise but also occur in the ecosystem of interaction and sharing with other heterogeneous and diverse subjects. How can value co-creation be achieved between the digital innovation ecosystems and how can they be coupled between the two? Based on this problem, this paper divides the value co-creation elements of the digital innovation ecosystem into five major elements: digital strategic cognition, digital technology, new digital infrastructure, data resources, and digital innovation capabilities, and explores the coupling mechanism between the digital innovation ecosystem and value co-creation.

Authors: Temizel Cenk , Aydin Hakki , Hosgor Fatma , Yegin Cengiz , Kabir C. Shah
Published: January 2023

In recent years, the oil and gas sector has been moving towards green production methods to achieve net-zero emission goals. Governments and corporations have started large-scale initiatives to deploy advanced technologies to reduce carbon footprints and prevent global warming. Herein, we have explored the emerging techniques and methods used in reducing the effects of gas emissions in the oil and gas industry. The transition process from hydrocarbons to renewable energy resources, including solar thermal applications for EOR, thermal energy extraction from hydrocarbon reservoirs, hydrogen generation strategies, and CO2 EOR and storage applications, has also been discussed. Literature information and publicly available data have paved the way to provide the theoretical background, the rationale of use, screening and selection criteria, challenges, and workarounds for these novel energy sources. Systems to integrate green methods into oil and gas processes appear in detail, from screening to implementation. Then, the technical information for integrating these resources under multiple conditions that affect the system's efficiency, such as weather, seasonal temperature changes, wind, and solar exposure, have been investigated. Moreover, added benefits of such incorporation strategies, such as improved economics with minimal effects on capital intensiveness or other burdens on the overall economy, have also been addressed. The transition from fossil fuels to renewable and greener energy resources provided the underlying motivation for this study.

Authors: Liu Xiaolei , Zhang Yanjie , Du Xiru , Ma Yongzhi , Jiang Ruike , Chen Shihui , Wang Yongtai
Published: January 2023

Qigong, a traditional Chinese exercise routine, has been used as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD) in many studies, and the results have confirmed its effectiveness in reducing the symptoms of PD. However, no study has yet investigated the long-term effects and benefits of Qigong practices in improving the symptoms of PD. The purpose of this follow-up evaluation was to investigate the long-term effects of Qigong practices in improving the symptoms of PD. In this randomized controlled trial (RCT), patients in the moderate stage of PD (N = 15), who had been practicing Qigong exercises, agreed to participate in this follow-up measurement after the intervention. Two important indicators, the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and the One-legged Blind Balance test, were used to measure the patients’ functional coordination and progressive balance capabilities. Results one year following the intervention were compared with data from the same patients at the 5th and 10th weeks in the previous RCT experimental group using repeated measures ANOVA. The results showed that the patients in this study demonstrated a significant improvement in the TUG test (P < 0.01) and balance ability test (P < 0.05). Qigong exercises can significantly improve the patients’ functional coordination and balance capabilities with moderate PD. Therefore, the Qigong exercise routine can be used as an effective long-term rehabilitation therapy for PD.
Expressive Arts for Grieving Youth: A Pilot Project
Authors: Law Moira A. , Pastirik Pamela , Shamputa Isdore Chola
Published: January 2023

The experience of loss due to death, illness, and social mitigation was inevitable during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental health services are chronically difficult to access in Canada, and this barrier is further exacerbated when trying to access certified art therapists to deliver expressive arts therapy. This pilot project attempted to provide an alternative to this service through an interprofessional alliance with a professional artist and certified counselors. A small group (n = 6) of vulnerable youth who had suffered the recent loss of a loved one and were at risk for mental health issues participated in an expressive arts therapy program, over a four-week period in the late Spring of 2021. Expressive arts activities such as clay mask making to express the emotions of grief, provided opportunities for the youth to learn healthy ways of coping with grief and loss. A mixed-methods approach involving quantitative data was collected with a battery of well-validated instruments to assess changes in depressive symptomatology, social and emotional loneliness and satisfaction with life. These measures were complemented with qualitative data collected during a focus group at the end of the program. Measures conducted before and after the program found decreases in loneliness, coupled with youth expressing the shared experience was comforting, reduced feelings of isolation, and increased a sense of belonging. Preliminary evidence supports that expressive arts programs for vulnerable youth may help to stabilize mood, decrease feelings of isolation/loneliness, and may generate a supportive community of peers, providing a safe space for the expression of grief through creative outlets.

Published: January 2023

actualmente, se están produciendo ceras por hidrotratamiento de aceite de palma, sin embargo, los productos obtenidos no siempre alcanzan las condiciones de punto de fusión y dureza requeridas por la industria cosmética. Debido a esta problemática, el interés de este trabajo fue evaluar un proceso de cristalización sin solvente con el objetivo de incrementar la temperatura de fusión y los rendimientos másicos de la biocera, acercándolos a los intervalos de los valores de las propiedades fisicoquímicas que requiere el mercado. Para cumplir con este propósito, se determinó el rango operativo de la temperatura de cristalización por calorimetría diferencial de barrido (dsc) y difracción de rayos X (drx). Una vez conocidos los puntos de cristalización, se procedió a calentar la muestra hasta los 50 °C y seguidamente se realizó un enfriamiento controlado hasta que la biocera 1 alcanzara los 40 °C para y de 30 °C para la biocera 2, y a estas temperaturas se consiguieron dos fracciones (líquida y sólida). Las fracciones sólidas presentaron un incremento en la temperatura de fusión de 47 °C a 49 °C para la biocera 1, y de 45 ºC a 47 ºC para la biocera 2. El proceso de cristalización no separó las diferentes familias de compuestos presentes en las bioceras, por lo que no se evidenciaron cambios significativos en los parámetros índice de acidez, saponificación y yodo. Además, futuras investigaciones en otras técnicas de refinación complementarias a la cristalización, como neutralización y decoloración, permitirán a la biocera de palma cumplir con los criterios de calidad internacionales para ser utilizada como ingrediente en las industrias cosmética y farmacéutica.
Domains, Feasibility, Effectiveness, Cost, and Acceptability of Telehealth in Aging Care: Scoping Review of Systematic Reviews
Authors: Zhang Yichi , Leuk Jessie Siew-Pin , Teo Wei-Peng
Published: January 2023

Background

Aging is becoming a major global challenge. Compared with younger adults, the older population has greater health needs but faces inadequate access to appropriate, affordable, and high-quality health care. Telehealth can remove geographic and time boundaries, as well as enabling socially isolated and physically homebound people to access a wider range of care options. The impacts of different telehealth interventions in terms of their effectiveness, cost, and acceptability in aging care are still unclear.

Objective

This scoping review of systematic reviews aimed to provide an overview of the domains of telehealth implemented in aging care; synthesize evidence of telehealth’s feasibility, effectiveness, cost benefits, and acceptability in the context of aging care; identify gaps in the literature; and determine the priorities for future research.

Methods

Guided by the methodological framework of the Joanna Briggs Institute, we reviewed systematic reviews concerning all types of telehealth interventions involving direct communication between older users and health care providers. In total, 5 major electronic databases, PubMed, Embase (Ovid), Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and PsycINFO (EBSCO), were searched on September 16, 2021, and an updated search was performed on April 28, 2022, across the same databases as well as the first 10 pages of the Google search.

Results

A total of 29 systematic reviews, including 1 post hoc subanalysis of a previously published large Cochrane systematic review with meta-analysis, were included. Telehealth has been adopted in various domains in aging care, such as cardiovascular diseases, mental health, cognitive impairment, prefrailty and frailty, chronic diseases, and oral health, and it seems to be a promising, feasible, effective, cost-effective, and acceptable alternative to usual care in selected domains. However, it should be noted that the generalizability of the results might be limited, and further studies with larger sample sizes, more rigorous designs, adequate reporting, and more consistently defined outcomes and methodologies are needed. The factors affecting telehealth use among older adults have been categorized into individual, interpersonal, technological, system, and policy levels, which could help direct collaborative efforts toward improving the security, accessibility, and affordability of telehealth as well as better prepare the older population for digital inclusion.

Conclusions

Although telehealth remains in its infancy and there is a lack of high-quality studies to rigorously prove the feasibility, effectiveness, cost benefit, and acceptability of telehealth, mounting evidence has indicated that it could play a promising complementary role in the care of the aging population.
Implementation Science Perspectives on Implementing Telemedicine Interventions for Hypertension or Diabetes Management: Scoping Review
Authors: Khalid Ayisha , Dong Quanfang , Chuluunbaatar Enkhzaya , Haldane Victoria , Durrani Hammad , Wei Xiaolin
Published: January 2023

Background

Hypertension and diabetes are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. Telemedicine is an accessible and cost-effective means of supporting hypertension and diabetes management, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of technological solutions for care. However, to date, no review has examined the contextual factors that influence the implementation of telemedicine interventions for hypertension or diabetes worldwide.

Objective

We adopted a comprehensive implementation research perspective to synthesize the barriers to and facilitators of implementing telemedicine interventions for the management of hypertension, diabetes, or both.

Methods

We performed a scoping review involving searches in Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to identify studies published in English from 2017 to 2022 describing barriers and facilitators related to the implementation of telemedicine interventions for hypertension and diabetes management. The coding and synthesis of barriers and facilitators were guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.

Results

Of the 17,687 records identified, 35 (0.2%) studies were included in our scoping review. We found that facilitators of and barriers to implementation were dispersed across the constructs of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Barriers related to cost, patient needs and resources (eg, lack of consideration of language needs, culture, and rural residency), and personal attributes of patients (eg, demographics and priorities) were the most common. Facilitators related to the design and packaging of the intervention (eg, user-friendliness), patient needs and resources (eg, personalized information that leveraged existing strengths), implementation climate (eg, intervention embedded into existing infrastructure), knowledge of and beliefs about the intervention (eg, convenience of telemedicine), and other personal attributes (eg, technical literacy) were the most common.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that the successful implementation of telemedicine interventions for hypertension and diabetes requires comprehensive efforts at the planning, execution, engagement, and reflection and evaluation stages of intervention implementation to address challenges at the individual, interpersonal, organizational, and environmental levels.
Thermodynamic model of the deep origin of oil and its phase "freezing"
Authors: Marakushev Sergey , Belonogova Olga
Published: January 2023

Based on the deep inorganic concept of the origin of oil and gas deposits, the evolution of these petrogenic reservoirs in the lithosphere is considered. The analysis of phase diagrams and experimental data made it possible to determine two trends in the evolution of non-methane hydrocarbons in the Earth's interior. In the upper mantle, the "metastability" of heavy (with a lower H/C ratio) hydrocarbons increases with depth. However, at temperatures and pressures corresponding to the surface mantle-crustal hydrothermal conditions, the “relative metastability” of heavy hydrocarbons increases with approach to the surface. When deep HCs fluids rise to the surface, petrogenic oil reservoirs are formed as a result of a drop in hydrogen fugacity and a gas → liquid oil phase transition. Under the physical and chemical conditions of an oil reservoir, metastable reversible phase equilibria are established between liquid oil, gas hydrocarbons and CO2 and solid (pseudocrystalline) "mature" and "immature" kerogens of "oil source" rocks. A decrease in hydrogen pressure and temperature leads to a stoichiometric phase transition (“freezing”) of liquid oil into solid kerogens. This occurs as a result of oil dehydrogenation in the processes of high-temperature CO2 fixation and low-temperature hydration of oil hydrocarbons, which are the main geochemical pathways for its transformation into kerogen. Thus, the formation of carbon matter in petrogenic reservoirs is the result of regressive metamorphism of deep hydrocarbon fluids, natural gas, liquid oil, and emerging accumulations of naphthides.
Contrary to T. Hirai, Ramsey’s Critiques of Keynes in 1922 and 1926 Were Completely Wrong
Authors: Emmett Brady Michael
Published: January 2023

This paper covers Harai’s analysis, contained in his section, titled “Keynes as a philosopher”, of Keynes’s logical theory of probability. Harai spends too much of his time repeating Ramsey’s claims about having uncovered serious errors in the structure of Keynes’s relational propositional theory. .For 100 years, Keynes’s logical theory has been interpreted and misevaluated through the eyes of an ignorant 18 year old teenager. The result has been the proliferation and spread of what can be called the “Ramsey myth”.The “Ramsey myth” is that an 18 year old teenager appeared at Cambridge University in 1921.This 18 year old teenager was a genius who wrote a three page review in the Jan., 1922 issue of Cambridge Magazine, which supposedly destroyed, devastated and demolished the logical foundations of Keynes’s A Treatise on Probability, which was his relational, propositional logic founded on Boole’s relational, propositional logic. Russell countered this in his review, but was ignored (See Brady, 2016a). In 1931, it is further supposed that Keynes then capitulated to Ramsey and repudiated his own logical theory of probability, accepting some version of Ramsey’s subjectivist theory. This myth is what Hirai’s paper is based on. It was false in 1921 and it is false today in 2022.

Published: January 2023

This study describes the choice of humor style used to reduce the anxiety experienced by Balinese people during the Covid-19 pandemic and also explains the language variations as well as linguistic phenomena for constructing a humor. The relationship between humor style and linguistic features is expected to explain the specificity of the humor discourse structure of Covid-19 in Balinese language. The data of this qualitative study were obtained through note-taking and sorting out some short films which were displayed on YouTube from April to May 2020. Furthermore, there were 13 discourses used as data source, and some of the humor styles include affiliative, self-enhancing, aggressive and self-defeating. The humor functions as a foundation for information on topics arranged deductively and inductively. The variations in Balinese language used are variety of kepara (general) and kasar (low). Also, the dominating linguistic phenomenon includes code mixing and switching, as well as semantic inaccuracy regarding word similarity. This study can establish public-communication model in a friendly atmosphere to eliminate the impact of socio-psychological gap.
A Survey on Machine Learning Techniques for Video Caption Accessibility to Assist Children with Learning Disabilities
Authors: V Anagha , Kuppusamy K. S.
Published: January 2023

Abstract: On the World wide web, videos have become a speedy and effective information distribution method. Caretakers observed that YouTube was the most popular medium for kids during the COVID-19 epidemic, with more than 78% of kids watching it. To make a video accessible to children with learning impairments, captions are considered an assistive technology tool. Those with learning disabilities are not able to comprehend text content quickly within a video timeframe. We explored the temporal dimension of the caption of a frame in the video. The main difficulties with video caption accessibility are that users, within a short amount of time, have to get the gist of the visual content. In addition, they have to understand captions that are timed with frames. Children with learning disabilities have a hard time understanding captions, so this is one of the challenges they face. We presented a holistic view of caption accessibility and the challenges faced by children with learning disabilities in this paper.

Non–Linear Peristaltic Flow of Power-Law Fluid in the Tapered Asymmetric Channel
Authors: Kamalakkannan J. , Dhanapal C. , Kothandapani M.
Published: January 2023

Abstract: The effect of non-uniform wall properties on the peristaltic flow of a power law fluid in an asymmetric channel is investigated under Long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The tapered channel asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on non-uniform walls to have different amplitudes and phase. Exact solutions are established for the longitudinal velocity, stream function, and pressure gradient. The expression for an average rise in pressure is computed numerically by evaluating the numerical integration. The effect of the power-law nature of the fluid on trapping is studied in detail. Prominent features of the key parameters entering the present flow are also displayed, and important conclusions are pointed out.
Building Action Research Partnerships for Community Impact: Lessons From a National Community-Campus Engagement Project
Authors: Levkoe Charles Z. , Andrée Peter , Ballamingie Patricia , Changfoot Nadine A. , Schwartz Karen
Published: January 2023

While many studies have addressed the successes and challenges of participatory action research, few have documented how community campus engagement (CCE) works and how partnerships can be designed for strong community impact. This paper responds to increasing calls for ‘community first’ approaches to CCE. Our analysis draws on experiences and research from Community First: Impacts of Community Engagement (CFICE), a collaborative action research project that ran from 2012-2020 in Canada and aimed to better understand how community-campus partnerships might be designed and implemented to maximize the value for community-based organizations. As five of the project’s co-leads, we reflect on our experiences, drawing on research and practice in three of CFICE’s thematic hubs (food sovereignty, poverty reduction, and community environmental sustainability) to identify achievements and articulate preliminary lessons about how to build stronger and more meaningful relationships. We identify the need to: strive towards equitable and mutually beneficial partnerships; work with boundary spanners from both the academy and civil society to facilitate such relationships; be transparent and self-reflexive about power differentials; and look continuously for ways to mitigate inequities.

Barnard’s Loop is a famous arc of Hα emission located in the Orion star-forming region. Here, we provide evidence of a possible formation mechanism for Barnard’s Loop and compare our results with recent work suggesting a major feedback event occurred in the region around 6 Myr ago. We present a 3D model of the large-scale Orion region, indicating coherent, radial, 3D expansion of the OBP-Near/Briceño-1 (OBP-B1) cluster in the middle of a large dust cavity. The large-scale gas in the region also appears to be expanding from a central point, originally proposed to be Orion X. OBP-B1 appears to serve as another possible center, and we evaluate whether Orion X or OBP-B1 is more likely to be the cause of the expansion. Recent 3D dust maps are used to characterize the 3D topology of the entire region, which shows Barnard’s Loop’s correspondence with a large dust cavity around the OPB-B1 cluster. The molecular clouds Orion A, Orion B, and Orion λ reside on the shell of this cavity. Simple estimates of gravitational effects from both stars and gas indicate that the expansion of this asymmetric cavity likely induced anisotropy in the kinematics of OBP-B1. We conclude that feedback from OBP-B1 has affected the structure of the Orion A, Orion B, and Orion λ molecular clouds and may have played a major role in the formation of Barnard’s Loop.
Increased importance of cool-water fish at high latitudes emerges from individual level responses to warming
Authors: Smalås Aslak , Primicerio Raul , Kahilainen Kimmo , Terentyev Petr , Kashulin Nikolay , Zubova Elena , Amundsen Per-Arne
Published: January 2023

1. High latitude ecosystems are experiencing the most rapid warming on
earth, expected to trigger a diverse array of ecological responses.
Climate warming affects the ecophysiology of fish, and fish close to the
cold end of their thermal distribution are expected to increase somatic
growth from increased temperatures and a prolonged growth season, which
in turn affects maturation schedules, reproduction and survival,
boosting population growth. Accordingly, fish species living in
ecosystems close to their northern range edge should increase in
numerical importance and possibly displace cold-water adapted species.
2. We aim to document if and how population level effects of warming
mediated by individual level responses to increased temperatures, shift
community structure and composition in high latitude ecosystems. 3. We
studied 11 cool-water adapted freshwater fish populations in communities
dominated by cold-water adapted species to investigate changes in the
relative importance of cool-water fish during the last 30 years of rapid
warming in high latitude lakes. In addition, we studied the individual
level responses to warming to clarify the potential mechanisms
underlying the population effects. 4. Our long-term series‘ (1991-2020)
reveal a marked increase in numerical importance of the cool-water fish
species, perch, in ten out of eleven populations, and in most fish
communities the cool-water species is now dominant. Moreover, we show
that climate warming affects population level processes via direct and
indirect temperature effects on the individuals. Specifically, the
increase in abundance arises from increased survival of 0+ individuals,
faster juvenile growth and ensuing earlier maturation, all boosted by
climate warming. 5. The speed and magnitude of the response to warming
in these high latitude fish communities strongly suggest that cold-water
fish will be displaced by fish adapted to warmer water. Consequently,
management should focus on climate adaptation limiting future
introductions and invasions of cool-water fish and mitigating harvesting
pressure on cold-water fish.
Effect of hitting shock on the hatching of drifting fish egg

Published: January 2023

The drifting fish eggs are more likely to collide with ships, rocks etc.
as they hatch while migrating through the river. For fish resources
protection and waterway management, it’s important to clarify the upper
threshold of hitting velocity and the effect of the hitting shock on
their hatching. Thus, natural spawned and domesticated fish eggs were
studied and compared. The effects of hitting objects, hitting velocity
and the developmental level of the fish eggs on their hatching was also
studied. The developmental stage was the most sensitive factor to
hitting shock. Almost 70% of natural spawned semi-buoyant fish eggs
can’t hatch successfully when the hitting velocity was 4.4 m s-1 and
collided with rock, and this hatching rate was about 10%-30% higher
than that of farmed ones at the same conditions. The results are of
great significance for the protection of fish resources in the
high-velocity rivers.
How to make calibration less painful -- a proposition of an automatic, reliable and time-efficient procedure.
Authors: Świder Karolina , Bruña Ricardo , Moratti Stephan
Published: January 2023

In neurophysiological pain studies, multiple types of calibration
methods are used to quantify the individual pain sensation stimuli.
However, such studies often lack calibration procedure implementation,
have a vague protocol description, do not provide data quality
quantification, and omit required control for gender pain differences.
All this hampers study repetition and interexperimental comparisons.
Moreover, typical calibration procedures require a high number of
stimulations which may cause participants’ discomfort and stimuli
habituation. To overcome those shortcomings, we present an automatic
staircase pain calibration method for A-delta-specific stimulation
adjusted to the magnetoencephalography environment. We provide an
in-depth data analysis of the collected self-reports from seventy
healthy volunteers (37 males) and propose a method based on a dynamic
truncated linear regression model (tLRM). We compare its estimates for
the sensation (t), and pain (T) thresholds, as well as for the mid-pain
stimulation (MP), with those calculated using a traditional threshold
method and standard linear regression models. Compared to the other
threshold methods, tLRM exhibits higher R2 and requires 36% fewer
stimuli application and has significantly higher t and lower T and MP
intensities. Regarding sex differences, both lower t and T were found
for females compared to males, regardless of the calibration method. The
proposed tLRM method quantifies the quality of the calibration
procedure, minimizes its duration and invasiveness, as well as provides
validation of linearity between stimuli intensity and subjective scores,
making it an enabling technique for further studies. Moreover, our
results highlight the importance of control for gender in pain studies.

Published: February 2023

The total meridional heat transport (MHT) is relatively stable across
different climates. Nevertheless, the strength of individual processes
contributing to the total transport are not stable. Here we investigate
the MHT and its main components especially in the atmosphere, in five
coupled climate model simulations from the Deep-Time Model
Intercomparison Project (DeepMIP). These simulations target the Early
Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO), a geological time period with high CO2
concentrations, analogous to the upper range of end-of-century CO2
projections. Preindustrial and early Eocene simulations at a range of
CO2 levels (1x, 3x and 6x preindustrial values) are used to quantify the
MHT changes in response to both CO2 and non-CO2 related forcings. We
found that atmospheric poleward heat transport increases with CO2, while
the effect of non-CO2 boundary conditions (e.g., paleogeography, land
ice, vegetation) is causing more poleward atmospheric heat transport on
the Northern and less on the Southern Hemisphere. The changes in
paleogeography increase the heat transport via transient eddies at the
mid-latitudes in the Eocene. The Hadley cells have an asymmetric
response to both the CO2 and non-CO2 constraints. The poleward latent
heat transport of monsoon systems increases with rising CO2
concentrations, but this effect is offset by the Eocene topography. Our
results show that the changes in the monsoon systems’ latent heat
transport is a robust feature of CO2 warming, which is in line with the
currently observed precipitation increase of present day monsoon
systems.
Beton İçindeki Düz Yüzeyli ve Kum Kaplı Donatı Çubuğu Aderans Davranışının Eğilmede Aderans Yöntemiyle Deneysel ve Sayısal Olarak İncelenmesi

Reinforced concrete behavior can be exhibited by the acting of steel rebar and concrete together. This situation produces full adherence acceptance of the steel rebars and concrete interface for use in simple empirical calculations. However, the bond-slip model may be important in more realistic and comprehensive models. This situation causes other factors that create adherence to come to the fore, due to the lack of mechanical clamping in smooth surfaced bars. For this reason, it is important to define the bond-slip models accurately to the numerical models when constructing the numerical model of this type of rebars. In this study, two flexural bond experimental test specimens reinforced with smooth surface steel bar and reinforced with sand coated steel bar were prepared. These two samples were tested comparatively in terms of load bearing capacity, vertical displacement capacity, slip and collapse mechanism. As a result of the investigations, boundary values have been proposed for the BPE model, which is also recommended by the CEB-FIP (2010) model, to be used in both smooth surface and sand-coated surface. In addition to these, numerical models with different embedment lengths were created in the light of experiments and proposed BPE models. It was concluded that the embedment length significantly affects the maximum load capacity in the numerical models created.

This study attempts to evaluate the Indonesian adaptation of the DASS-21, a scale adapted from Peter F. and Sydney H. Lovibond 1995 to assess levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. Multistage random sampling taking from 1478 Indonesian. Additionally, we use The Rasch measurement model to examine psychometric properties of DASS-21. The results indicate that the DASS-21 fulfills the psychometric measurement aspect by providing evidence as a valid and reliable instrument, with a very good item reliability value .99 and sufficient person reliability (.89), as well as a Cronbach alpha value KR-20.  of .91, meaning that the quality of the items is very good for revealing depression, anxiety, and stress. Furthermore, the results are reinforced by the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) value to the residual of 39.7%, meaning that the items in DASS-21 are representative for measuring depression, anxiety, and stress. Therefore, it can be said that the DASS-21 is valid and reliable for assessing the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. The Indonesian translation of the DASS-21 constructs can also be used to assess the stress, anxiety, and depression levels.

Introduction: The literature reports joint changes in the knee and hip of people with sickle cell disease (SCD), but morphological modifications in mandibular condyles are little described. 

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate, by computed tomography (CT), morphological mandibular condyle modifications in people with SCD.

Material and methods: We have selected 70 mandibular CT of people with SCD (test group) and 70 CT, matched for age and sex, in a 1:1 ratio, of people without SDC or other diseases affecting bone metabolism (control group). Linear and volumetric measurements and qualitative assessment of the mandibular condyles were performed. 

Results: The results showed a lower height of the mandibular condyles in men (p=0.05) and the presence of erosion and flatting of the condylar bone surface in women with SCD. Conclusions: The lower height of the mandibular condyle in men may contribute to the more retrusive positioning of the mandible in this group.

Objective: To determine the effect of parental dental anxiety level on acceptance of non–pharmacological behavior management strategies used in pediatric dentistry

Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Pediatric department of FUCDH Pakistan over five months. It was carried out through a pre-validated questionnaire. Behavior management techniques with audiovisual aids were explained to the participants. Patients reporting for routine dental check-ups, on follow up of ongoing dental treatment were included in the study whereas patients with dental trauma, unwilling to be a part of this research, undergoing general anesthesia and medically compromised patients were excluded from the study. Patients are grouped based on age to determine parental behavior in different age groups.

Results: 302 parents participated in this study including 130 (43.0%) fathers and 172 (57.0%) mothers. The mean age of children was 7.81±1.92 years, with an age range of 4 – 12 years. The majority of the parents, 297 (98.3%) agreed with behavioral management techniques with 293 (97.0%) parents agreed that the dentist should show videos of behavior management techniques for their understanding. 254 (84.1%) parents agreed to consent for use of sedation and anesthesia. Refusal to sedation technique was significantly more common among parents of children of younger age group as compared to children of older age group (p<0.001).

Conclusion: Modest anxiety levels were recorded in parents accompanying pediatric dental patients irrespective of age group thus expressing eagerness for non – pharmacological behavior management strategies with prior explanation and demonstration. However, reluctance to sedation and anesthesia modalities were deciphered by parents particularly evident in parents of younger age group patients.
