The Language of the Armenian Ethno-Linguistic Subgroup in Kurdistan Region of Iraq from the Last Generation to Today
Authors: Mahdi Juwan , Kerob Yarjanik
Published: February 2023

This topic is significant because it considers the language of an ethno-religious group, the Armenian people, in Iraq with non-Arab or Kurdish origins. The Armenian people did not originate from Iraq but from Armenia, one of the smaller countries in the former Soviet Union. Many Armenians were forced to migrate in 1915 to different countries in the Middle East due to ethnic cleansing under the Ottomans. This study explores the different methods by which the Armenian community has maintained its native Armenian language during its history in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). To this end, the study includes a comparison of how the language was viewed and maintained across two successive generations of Armenians in KRI. The findings show that the first generation is divided into those who speak Armenian and those who assimilated and speak Kurdish. Those who no longer speak Armenian prioritised integration and moved away from their mother tongue. This posed a threat to the ongoing maintenance of the language in these communities. However, the younger generation has worked to revive its mother tongue by learning it in schools established in the region approximately 20 years ago.

It begins by providing an overview of the current use of growth regulators in both cool-season and warm-season turfgrass species. It then goes on to discuss enhancing rooting and establishment as well as turfgrass wear tolerance. A section on seed head suppression and production is also included, which is then followed by an overview of the suppression and control of annual bluegrass. Enhancing disease tolerance and tolerance to environmental extremes such as cold and drought are also discussed. Shade tolerance enhancement is also reviewed and a case study on how turfgrass species and light quality can determine the effectiveness of using plant growth regulators for shaded turf is also included.
Considerations with turfgrasses and pollinators
Authors:   University of Arkansas, USA, Wisdom Michelle , Richardson Michael ,   University of Arkansas, USA, Boyle Paige ,   Utah State University, USA
Published: February 2023

The global rise of the human population, increase in urbanization, and reliance on pesticide use has led to a decline in ecosystem services, pollinator habitat and forage sites, and pollinator abundance. Converting unused turfgrass ecosystems to pollinator-supporting plantings or incorporating flowering plants that provide pollinator forage into turfgrass systems are actions that turfgrass managers and homeowners can take to help mitigate the effects of urbanization and habitat loss. This chapter will discuss reasons behind pollinator declines, ways turfgrass systems might be enhanced to promote pollinators, and highlight potential planting options. Case studies highlight actions being taken in home lawns and golf course out-of-play areas to support pollinators, and potential drawbacks to mixed grass/forb plantings. Future research needs are also discussed.
Investment in Indonesia After Constitutional Court’s Decision in the Review of Job Creation Law
Authors: Nurhayati Yati , Mohd Zahir Mohd Zamre , Ifrani Ifrani , Komarudin Parman
Published: February 2023

In 2021, the Indonesian Constitutional Court decided conditionally unconstitutional in the review of the Job Creation Law. It was among a few decisions made by the Constitutional Court to accept a formal review, even if some dissenting opinions followed it. While the decision has largely influenced a wide array of regulatory laws because the Job Creation Law adopts the omnibus law model, the pivotal issue in this paper rests on the legal basis for investment in Indonesia after this decision. Firstly, it enquired whether the Constitutional Court exceeded its power for a procedural judicial review against the Job Creation Law. Second, it discussed the legal basis for investment in Indonesia after the Constitutional Court's Decision No. 91/PUU-XVIII/2020. Using normative research, the results showed that with the conditional unconstitutional decision, the Indonesian investment world would experience legal uncertainty for the next two years, especially new businesses, licensing, and investments with the enactment of the Job Creation Law. In particular, if the legislative branch failed to improve this law over two years, businesses, licensing, and investments in Indonesia might have no legal basis, resulting in the uncertain situation of the government’s desire to realize the friendly investment.

Published: February 2023

Chhattisgarh is a state in India which separated from the state of Madhya Pradesh in 2000. One part of Chhattisgarh is Koriya District which is located in the northwest corner. The district is one of the most densely forested areas in Chhattisgarh. The prevalence of deforestation and forest conversion is a fundamental problem in India which has caused resistance from various groups in society, especially the Koriya community, who live based on the forest. One of the organizations against illegal logging is Adivasi Adhikar Samiti (AAS), an Indigenous Peoples Rights Organization that focuses on health. Using the concept of eco-feminism, this study will analyze the reasons why AAS plays a role in dealing with the problems of forest conversion and illegal logging in Chhattisgarh.

Published: February 2023

Kekerasan Berbasis Gender Online (KBGO) masih menjadi sorotan dalam penelitian gender, feminisme dan media massa di Indonesia. Alasannya, pemberitaan mengenai isu ini kurang mendapatkan perhatian lebih di media. Selain itu, korban kasus kekerasan berbasis gender termasuk KBGO, seringkali dipojokkan dalam pemberitaan media oleh masyarakat akibat konstruk yang dibangun. Konstruksi yang dibangun oleh media massa itu tentu mempunyai dampak yang serius dalam pendidikan melawan kekerasan seksual di masyarakat. Salaj satu dampaknya yaitu banyaknya stigma negatif terhadap korban kekerasan seksual. Untuk itu, penelitian ini ingin melihat pembingkaian yang dilakukan oleh Kompas.com dan Konde.co, yang merupakan media dengan berbeda segmen melakukan pembingkaian mengenai isu KBGO ini. Pemilihan kedua media ini dipilih karena merupakan representasi media umum dan media khusus yang tidak bias gender. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu Konstruksi Sosial dan Framing. Metodologi yang dipakai yaitu metode kualitatif dengan menggunakan perangkat framing Robert Entman. Hasilnya memperlihatkan bahwa Kompas.com terstruktur dalam membangun narasinya pada isu mengenai kekerasan terhadap perempuan, termasuk KBGO. Sedangkan Konde.co menjadi media yang lebih spesifik dalam membangun narasinya dengan metode story-telling, dan lebih berani dalam membingkai isu mengenai kekerasan seksual terutama KBGO.

Published: February 2023

Tin-mined land experiences drought, high light intensity, and temperature which is less supportive of plant growth. The study observed the anatomical responses of grasses leaves. This study aims to measure stomatal density, stomatal index, guard cell length, and guard cell width of three grass species that grow naturally in ex tin-mined land and in undisturbed land. Description method carried out based on the paradermal incision resulted in the wholemount method. The results showed each grass species has a different response to their different habitats. The stomatal density of Imperata cylindrica and Paspalum conjugatum collected from ex tin-mined land were higher than to those plants collected from undisturbed land, however the stomatal density in Scleria levis showed the opposite result. Stomatal index of all three species increases in ex tin-mined land were higher than in undistributed land. Guard cell lengths of I. cylindrica and P. conjugatum were smaller than those in undistributed land, but Scleria levis showed the opposite result. Guard cell width of I. cylindrica and S. levis were wider than those in undistributed land, but P. conjugatum showed the opposite result. These responses may reflect their adaptiveness to tin soils.

Published: February 2023

Tanjung Rising Coastal, located in Dendang Village, Bangka Belitung Islands, has a large variety of substrates and organisms. One of the types of marine life studied is the Mollusk Phylum including the Bivalve and Gastropod classes. To find out the diversity of Bivalvia and Gastropoda, this study was carried out on Tanjung Rising Coastal, Bangka Belitung Islands. The study was conducted in December 2020-August 2021, using belt transect method with purposive sampling technique. Samples were collected at station 1 with a sandy substrate and station 2 with a muddy substrate. The results of this study found 1,372 individuals from the Bivalvia class consisting of 7 families and 12 species, while from the Gastropod class yielded 2,630 individuals consisting of 5 families and 7 species. The diversity and evenness index at both stations is relatively low which means that there are species that dominate, because both stations have good habitats for the dominating species. In addition, temperature, pH, salinity, depth, and strong currents showed good values for Bivalvia and Gastropoda habitat. In summary, Tanjung Rising Beach is still a good habitat for invertebrate animals, especially Bivalvia and Gastropoda.

Published: February 2023

The synthesis of activated carbon derived from water hyacinth has been successfully carried out as an iron adsorbent in a laboratory-scale water filter design system. In this article, activated carbon derived from water hyacinth is made through a carbonization process at 400°C and 500°C with NaOH as an activating agent. This activated carbon derived from water hyacinth acts as a filter media for purifying well water by assessing the flux, pH and iron removal efficiency before and after filtration. The results showed that the use of activated carbon derived from water hyacinth with a carbonization temperature of 500°C resulted in a water flux value greater than the carbonization temperature of 400°C. The pH value showed no difference between the use of activated carbon derived from water hyacinth (at a carbonization temperature 400°C and 500°C) before and after the filtration process, which was 7.5. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of activated carbon derived from water hyacinth at a carbonization temperature of 500°C as a filtration medium is more optimal in reducing iron levels compared to the use of activated carbon at a carbonization temperature of 400°C with percentage efficiency up to 98.09%.

Published: February 2023

Globally, in 2021, there were 170,051,718 COVID-19 cases and 3,540,437 patients who died. The high mortality rate of patients infected with COVID-19 gives an idea to research the analysis of the factors that influence the death of Covid-19 patients. The data used in this study is data on Covid-19 patients obtained from the Mexican Government, with response variables namely time and status and predictor variables, namely patient laboratory results in the form of a history of illness that has been suffered by Covid-19 patients so that they adopt the extended model to evaluate the data. The data in this study are heterogeneous and large in number so that data clustering is carried out into 3 clusters, namely low emergency clusters, medium emergency clusters and high emergency clusters using K-means clustering. Because the study could not find the factors that influence the death of Covid-19 patients, two clusters were chosen, namely the medium emergency cluster and the high emergency cluster. So that the factors that influence the death of Covid-19 patients in the medium emergency cluster are sorted by the highest hazard ratio, namely pneumonia, old age, renal chronic, diabetes, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), immune system, hypertension, cardiovascular, obesity, gender, and asthma. In the high emergency cluster, sorted by the highest hazard ratio is the immune system, renal chronic, cardiovascular, COPD, tobacco, hypertension, obesity, gender, and pneumonia.

Published: February 2023

The preparation of biodegradable plastics based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-taro starch as an alternative to synthetic plastics has been conducted. The aim of this research was to identify the effect of taro starch composition on the production of biodegradable plastic and their characteristics in an aquatic environment. The solution casting method was used to produce biodegradable plastic. PVA was dissolved in hot distilled water, and taro starch (0; 0.5; 1.5; 2.5; and 3.5 g) was dissolved in another chamber filled with distilled water, glycerol and citric acid. Both solutions were mixed together and CaCO3 was then added. The mixture was casted on acrylic plates while biodegradable plastic without starch was used as a control. Characteristic of Biodegradable plastic and it’s properties were examined by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), water uptake, and moisture absorption test. While the biodegrability of the sample were tested in river water media in the laboratory. The results showed that the wave number at 1698-1712 cm-1, indicating that the cross-linking between PVA and the starch occured. Water uptake and moisture absorption tests showed that all of the biodegradable plastic varieties produced were hydrophilic. The biodegradation test showed that the largest degree of decomposition was reached by the PVA-starch 3.5 g variety which was 80.33%. Thus, the more starch on biodegradable plastic, the more biodegradation achieved.

Published: February 2023

Betel nut husk fiber has a reasonably high cellulose content. Meanwhile, bioplastics nowadays are mostly made of Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA), with one of its limitations being tensile strength and other properties regarding mechanical. Thus, this study aims to isolate microcellulose from areca nut fiber and use the fiber as a filler in bioplastic, where cellulose is combined with PVA. The intention is to understand the effect of adding microcellulose from betel nut fibers on the properties, including the biodegradability of PVA-based bioplastic films. This research has three steps: isolating cellulose from betel nut peel fibers by delignification, pulping, and bleaching. The next step is hydrolysis to obtain microcellulose. The last is the preparation of bioplastic films using the solution casting method, with five different ratios of microcellulose content in the bioplastic. The cellulose characterization from FTIR spectra shows the absorption of several peaks, such as O-H, C-H, and C-O functional groups. The mechanical testing results on the variation of bioplastic show that the bioplastic with the best characteristics was PL5, which has the highest microcellulose content, 8 MPa and 10.2% for tensile strength and elongation, respectively. The biodegradation test for bioplastic variation (PL5) was 82% within eight weeks, while in Indonesian National Standard (SNI) number 7188.7:2016, it is 100% within 60 days.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Genomic assays are useful tools for tailoring adjuvant treatment in early breast cancer. We aimed to analyse the role of an institutional protocol of a genomic assay for chemotherapy de-escalation.Methods: Prospective cohort study of all consecutive women diagnosed with hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative early breast cancer, tested with the 21-gene Recurrence Score (RS) assay from August 2015 to July 2018 at a Portuguese cancer centre. For being tested, patients should meet at least one of the pre-defined inclusion criteria: i) luminal A-like, pT2pN0; ii) luminal A-like, 1 – 3 positive nodes and comorbidities with higher risk of chemotherapy-induced toxicity; iii) pT1-2pN0, progesterone receptor ≤ 20% and/or Ki67 14% – 40%. Adjuvant treatment was de-escalated to isolated endocrine therapy if RS was less than 18. We measured the reduction in chemotherapy prescribing and its clinical impact, the RS association with pathologic features, and the protocol feasibility.Results: We tested 154 women with a median age of 61 years old (range: 25 – 79), 69% postmenopausal. Tumours were mainly pT1 (55%), pN0 (82%), invasive ductal (73%), G2 (86%), luminal B-like (69%) and stage IA (85%). We obtained a RS less than 18 in 60% of women, with an overall adjuvant chemotherapy reduction of 65%. Seven (95% confidence interval: 5 – 10) patients needed to be screened with the 21-gene RS assay to prevent one clinically relevant adverse event during the first six months of adjuvant treatment. Considering the currently used RS cut-off, only 9% of node-negative and 11% of node-positive patients had RS over 25. We found no relevant associations between RS and pathologic features. The protocol was feasible and did not compromise the adequate timing for adjuvant treatment.Conclusion: These criteria allowed the de-escalation of adjuvant systemic treatment in at least six out of ten women.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. Various epidemiological studies have shown a trend of increasing incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus in various parts of the world. Therefore, diabetes mellitus is currently a global health threat. Dandang gendis (Clinacanthus nutans) is a widely used plant as a traditional herbal treatment in Indonesia, and it has been proven that the ethanol extract of dandang gendis leaves shows an antidiabetic effect. This research aims to determine the compatibility among the flavonoid compounds in C. nutans with Aldose reductase, glucokinase, and GSK3β target drugs for type 2 diabetes mellitus using in silico method.Methods: 45 compounds were obtained from multiple sources. The screening method used Lipinski’s rule of five and Pyrx until 8 compounds were selected. Avogadro, AutoDock 4.2, and Biovia Discovery Studio 2016 were used for molecular docking and visualization analysis.Results: Molecular docking results demonstrate that the ligand-protein interaction’s binding energy was -7.31 to 35.25 kcal/mol for 1AH3, -7.55 to 0.15 kcal/mol for 1V4S, and -7.99 to -2.85 kcal/mol for 3D0E.Conclusion: We can conclude that flavonoid compounds Apigenin, Vitexin, 3,3-di-O-Methylellagic Acid, and Clinacoside C show a high binding affinity with Aldose Reductase, Glucokinase, and GSK3β proteins and have the potential to be oral antidiabetic drug compounds for Diabetes Mellitus. However, its binding affinity has not been able to exceed that of the native ligand of the protein. Further research is needed to determine the significant efficacy and potential as an antidiabetic.

MEMÓRIA, LINGUAGEM E POLÍTICA NUM OCEANO FICCIONAL
Authors: Ferraz Diego Rodrigo
Published: February 2023

As discussões éticas e políticas a partir da literatura e das artes se espraiam, pois o caráter estético permite realizar e ampliar discussões que certas ordens discursivas impedem. Este ensaio pretende realizar uma leitura do romance No fundo do oceano, os animais invisíveis, de Anita Deak, detendo-se em alguns elementos estéticos, os quais estabelecem relação com o ético e o político. O romance traz muitos elementos do período ditatorial enfrentado no Brasil entre 1964-1985, sobretudo o que aconteceu na região do Araguaia. Diante disso, o ensaio aborda questões da política da memória, bem como trata elementos da narrativa para pensar signos estratificados em nosso cotidiano. A literatura se apresenta, portanto, como potência contingencial por sua capacidade reflexiva e questionadora, que abre fendas para fazer ver o que muros discursivos têm tornado invisíveis.

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar o papel que a leitura desempenha em um modelo de sociedade que tenta adotar, através de uma revolução organizada por relações hierárquicas, uma concepção cooperativista, mas que acaba sendo dominada por interesses individuais de “alguns mais iguais que os outros”. Trata-se da análise da obra A revolução dos bichos, do escritor inglês, Eric Arthur Blair, de pseudónimo, George Orwell. Para tais discussões, baseamo-nos nas obras de Michel Foucault (2010), Manguel (2004), Petit (2013), Piglia (2006) e Rouxel et al (2013).
REGULARIDADES DISCURSIVAS NO ENSINO DE GÊNEROS TEXTUAIS POR MEIO DE SEQUÊNCIAS DIDÁTICAS
Authors: Lima Maria de Jesus Melo , Campos Sulemi Fabiano
Published: February 2023

Este texto tem como escopo refletir acerca do ensino, em Língua Portuguesa, no que tange ao ensino de gêneros, que visa a ser definido ou categorizado por meio do uso de sequência didática (SD), embora os estudos bakhtinianos considerem que aos gêneros não devem ser agregadas características fixas, mas que eles comportam contínuas transformações, são maleáveis e plásticos. No entanto, à medida que são pautados, dirigidos, por SD, os gêneros adquirem características estáticas, padronizadas, de texto igual para todos. Para fundamentar a pesquisa, descrever, analisar e interpretar os dados recorre-se a Foucault (1995; 2013; 2014a; 2014b, 2017; a Bakhtin (2010) para se entender a importância da não categorização dos gêneros; e a Geraldi (1984; 1992; 2010, 2018) e Larrosa (2017; 2002) no que diz respeito à importância da experiência da escrita no contexto escolar. O corpus é composto de excertos de 26 dissertações do Mestrado Profissional em Letras (ProfLetras) visando-se analisar o uso de SD como procedimento metodológico que visa à categorizar o ensino de gêneros, levando-se em consideração os autores Dolz, Noverraz & Schneuwly (2004), que compõem o Grupo de Genebra, conhecidos por montarem estratégias didatizadoras. Os resultados revelam que o sujeito professor em formação é levado a utilizar os gêneros como objetos mediadores do processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Dessa forma, a ênfase no ensino está pautada pelos gêneros, como única forma de ensinar a ler e escrever.

BERNABÉ RIVERA E A DESCONSTRUÇÃO DO "HERÓI"
Authors: Carniel Lucas Sidnei , Fleck Gilmei Francisco , Mendez Hugo Eliecer Dorado
Published: February 2023

Resumo: Tendo como base teorias analíticas do romance histórico elencadas por FLECK (2017), AÍNSA (1991) e BASILE (2002), propomos, neste trabalho, uma leitura da obra ¡Bernabé!, ¡Bernabé!, de Tomás de Mattos. Isso ocorre a partir da problematização feita sobre o evento histórico conhecido oficialmente como “O Massacre de Salsipuedes”. Buscamos oferecer as ferramentas analíticas para a interpretação do romance a partir da desconstrução do personagem Coronel Bernabé Rivera, comandante responsável pela missão que resultou no morticínio de indígenas pertencentes à etnia dos charruas, durante o processo de independência do Uruguai no século XIX. A partir desta leitura, objetivamos relacionar a interpretação da obra de Mattos (1994) a possíveis críticas à ditadura cívico-militar que imperou no país entre os anos de 1973 e 1985.

This article analyzes Lancelot's comic deliberation about leaving his master Shylock, in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. Lancelot's relationship with his father Gobbo and Shylock is ambiguous, as he feels anxiety about leaving Shylock's home, but feels no anxiety about deceiving his father. Analysis suggests that he reverses the role of the father figure, taking Shylock rather than Gobbo as the father figure representation. Likewise, there are other characters in the play who project onto Shylock the representation of the father figure, mirroring anger, resentment, fear and anxiety.

Published: February 2023

Equine fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an emerging therapy for restoring gut microbiome balance in horses. An imbalance in the gut microorganisms, known as dysbiosis, can cause inflammation and metabolic disruptions. FMT, which involves transferring gut bacteria from a healthy donor to a diseased recipient, has shown positive results in treating gastrointestinal diseases in horses, but is still largely limited to research purposes due to safety concerns and lack of understanding of its mechanisms. This paper aims to shed light on the possible mechanisms of FMT in horses and discuss future perspectives for its clinical application. Further research is needed to develop more effective and safer FMT techniques for horses.

Authors: Tcharnetsky Marina , Vogt Florian
Published: February 2023

In order to counter the impending shortage of skilled professionals in the aging societies of our time in many western countries such as Germany, solutions for business and society are urgently needed. Here, artificial intelligence (AI) can play an important role in mitigating the problem with the help of diverse applications. At the same time, it is important to consider both the needs of the respective employee1 and the company to ensure that the use of AI has a positive impact on the organization and finds social acceptance. In this article, we describe the newly developed OSQE model (Optimize, Secure, Qualify, Expand), which for the first time outlines an AI cycle against the shortage of skilled professionals in a holistic approach that focuses equally on people and companies. This can serve organizations as a guide for strategy development, decision-making for and implementation of AI-supported measures in an entire cycle of an employee's affiliation with a company. The model takes three driving forces into account: companies, professionals, and AI applications. In the model, the measures to be implemented are prioritized with ascending numbering based on what would be most urgent for a company to implement. All measures relate to areas of action that place people at the center and can be assigned to the classic cycle of belonging of an employee in the company. In this regard, the opportunities that AI offers to professionals and companies are highlighted.

According to Army Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) doctrine, generating timely, accurate, and exploitable geospatial products from tactical platforms is a critical capability to meet threats. The US Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center, Geospatial Research Laboratory (ERDC-GRL) is carrying out 6.2 research to facilitate the creation of three-dimensional (3D) products from tactical sensors to include full-motion video, framing cameras, and sensors integrated on small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS). This report describes an ERDC-GRL processing pipeline comprising custom code, open-source software, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) tools to geospatially rectify tactical imagery to authoritative foundation sources. Four datasets from different sensors and locations were processed against National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency–supplied foundation data. Results showed that the co-registration of tactical drone data to reference foundation varied from 0.34 m to 0.75 m, exceeding the accuracy objective of 1 m described in briefings presented to Army Futures Command (AFC) and the Assistant Security of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASA(ALT)). A discussion summarizes the results, describes steps to address processing gaps, and considers future efforts to optimize the pipeline for generation of geospatial data for specific end-user devices and tactical applications.

Introduction: Transfeminine women in South Africa have a high HIV risk due to structural, behavioural, and psychosocial factors. Transfeminine women and feminine identifying men who have sex with men (MSM) are often conflated or grouped with transgender or MSM categories in HIV service programming, although they don’t necessarily identify as either. We aimed to investigate gender expression among feminine identifying people who were assigned male at birth. We examined how local conceptualizations of sexuality and gender intersect with the key population label of ‘transgender’ imported into local HIV programming.
Methods: A qualitative cohort nested within the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial included longitudinal, in-depth interviews with eight transfeminine women (four who disclosed as living with HIV). Data were collected approximately every six weeks between January 2016 and October 2017. We discuss gender identification presented in participants’ daily lives and in relation to HIV service access.
Results: Of the eight participants, only one accepted ‘transgender’ as a label, and even she used varying terms at different times to describe her identity. For participants, a feminine identity included dressing in normatively feminine clothes; using feminine terms, pronouns and names; and adopting stereotypically feminine mannerisms. Participants would switch between typically feminine and masculine norms in response to contextual cues and audience. For example, some participants accepted identification as masculine gay men amongst their family members, but amongst peers, they expressed a more effeminate identity and with partners they took on a feminine identity.
Conclusions: Our findings are amongst the first exploratory and descriptive data of transfeminine women in South Africa. We show how transfeminine women navigate fluid gender identities that could pose a challenge for accessing and utilizing HIV services that are currently set up for transgender individuals or MSM. More work needs to be done to understand and respond to the diverse and shifting ways people experience their gender identities in this high HIV burden context.

Published: February 2023

One of the most widely used risk measures in environmental studies is the return period (T ) associated with a given level of return. Its calculation requires knowledge of the distribution function fitted to the data. Thus, the efficiency of T depends on the distribution that fits the data well. Except for models of finite mixtures of distributions, bimodal distributions are scarce and are necessary to adequately model climatic and hydrological data. In this work, we propose a simple method to obtain T based on a new invertible bimodal distribution. To illustrate its applicability, we consider the bimodal invertible Weibull distribution (IBW). Several properties of the IBW distribution were studied and the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters was tested using Monte Carlo simulation. Finally, the return period was calculated for a temperature dataset.

Objective:
To evaluate the impact of a standardized feeding protocol and donor breast milk (DBM) provision on clinical outcomes in moderate preterm infants (MPT, 29–33 6/7 weeks gestational age).
Study Design:
A protocol for MPT infants born > 1500 g was implemented clinically to standardize feeding advancements at 30 mL/kg/day. Infants < 33 weeks received DBM. We retrospectively identified 131 and 144 infants born before and after implementation. Clinical data including central venous line (CVL) placement, feeding tolerance, growth, and provision of maternal breast milk (MBM) were collected.
Result:
Number of CVLs, days to full enteral volume (FEV), and MBM provision was unchanged. There was a narrower range of days to FEV post-implementation. Growth metrics were similar between eras.
Conclusion:
Implementation of a feeding protocol for MPT infants is associated with more consistent time to FEV. With monitoring and appropriate fortification, DBM use in this population is not associated with worse growth outcomes.
