Exploring the Impact of Built Environment Factors on the Relationships between Bike Sharing and Public Transportation: A Case Study of New York
Authors: Wei Baohua , Zhu Lei
Published: July 2023

Bike sharing offers a usable form of feeder transportation for connecting to public transportation and effectively meets unmet travel demands, alleviating the pressure on public transportation systems by diverting urban commuters. To advance the comprehension of how the built environment shapes the relationship between bike-sharing systems and public transport modes, we implement a categorization framework that divides bike-sharing data into three distinct patterns: competition, integration, and complementation, based on their coordination with public transportation. The SLM model is employed to investigate the complex correlations between the relationship patterns and four key groups of environmental factors encompassing land use, transportation systems, urban design, and social economy. We find a strong correlation between four groups of environmental factors and three relationship patterns. Furthermore, the built environment variables exhibit significant variations across the three patterns. Users in the competitive mode prefer the flexibility of shared bikes and place a higher value on the sightseeing and leisure benefits. Instead, users in the integration and complementation modes tend to prefer shared bikes to supplement unmet travel demand and place a higher value on commuting benefits. These findings can benefit urban planners seeking to encourage greater diversity in transportation modes and incentivize more commuting.

Hyperthermia can be induced to exploit the thermal intolerance of cancer cells, which is worse than that of normal cells, as a potential noninvasive cancer treatment. To develop an effective hyperthermia treatment, thermal cytotoxicity of cells should be comprehensively investigated. However, to conduct such investigations, the culture temperature must be accurately regulated. We previously reported a culture system in which the culture temperature could be accurately regulated by employing metallic culture vessels. However, appropriate temperature conditions for hyperthermia depend on the cell species. Consequently, several experiments need to be conducted, which is a bottleneck of inducing hyperthermia. Hence, we developed a cell culture system with temperature gradation on a metallic culture surface. Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 cells and normal human dermal fibroblasts were used as cancer and normal cell models, respectively. Normal cells showed stronger thermal tolerance; this was because the novel system immediately exhibited a temperature gradation. Thus, the developed culture system can be used to investigate the optimum thermal conditions for effective hyperthermia treatment. Furthermore, as the reactions of cultured cells can be effectively assessed with the present results, further research involving the thermal stimulation of cells is possible.

Authors: Breva-Franch Eva , Olivares-Delgado Fernando , Benlloch-Osuna M. Teresa
Published: July 2023

Cities are unimaginable without outdoor advertising, and outdoor advertising, sometimes known as out-of-home advertising, is unimaginable without cities. However, this relationship is evolving due to the inevitable need today to take sustainability into account. As is becoming clearer every day, our planet is finite and it is up to us to bring hope to our present and our future. Sustainability consists of three aspects: social, economic and environmental. In this article, we take as its starting point the meaning of sustainability in relation to the city and outdoor advertising. The studies consulted confirm that outdoor advertising companies must work towards this sustainability to improve their relations with citizens, through an effort that also involves generating initiatives that come from all the actors involved in the outdoor activities at cities. In this research, we have collected the state of art about this question, and we also have analysed the opinion of one of the agents involved in integrating sustainability into the outdoor advertising activity, the exclusive outdoor advertising firms. We have investigated what they understand by sustainability and analysed whether their strategies are evolving in the same way as the meaning and significance of this term for the city and its citizens.

Tolerance Allocation Considering Multiple Phases of the Product Life Cycle for Optimum Cost, Performance, and Sustainability Using the HEIM Framework
Authors: Dorna Shravya , Revuru Rukmini Srikant , Zhang Julie Zhe
Published: July 2023

Tolerance allocation is usually considered only at the stages when designers are designing the product and manufacturing/process engineers are forming a process flow for manufacturing the product. In this paper, the tolerances for a product are allocated considering the most crucial stages of manufacturing, quality, use, and reuse stages of a product life cycle. This approach helps to sustainably allocate the tolerances. A framework with an example of alternatives with attributes - cost, performance, and sustainability is discussed to achieve the intended tolerance allocation by considering multiple stages of the life cycle using the Hypothetical Equivalents and Inequivalents Method (HEIM). HEIM allocated the weightage to different parameters. In this case, HEIM is used to give weightage for different stages of the product life. This helps to allocate the tolerances with due importance to each stage. This is the main contribution of this paper as the application of HEIM for tolerance allocation is not found in the literature. Extending this framework to products like mobile phones, laptops, watches, etc. would help to avoid the redesigning of the product in the future for making it efficient in terms of cost, performance, and sustainability. Also, using this concept products can be reused with liberalized tolerances to obtain the same performance as new ones leading to cost savings and improving the sustainability of the product. The proposed methodology was used in the present work to estimate the tolerance for the least cost of manufacturing a product.

Authors: Jaspreet Kaur  , Supreet Bindra  , Pankaj Preet Singh
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Flexibility is an important physiological component of physical fitness. The length of the muscletissue is thought to play an important role in the effectiveness and efficacy of human movement. Calf is one ofthe commonest muscle prone to tightness. Most of the forefoot and ankle problems arise due to gastrocnemiusand soleus tightness and contractures. To manage such a condition, stretching of the calf muscles are commonlyprescribed to increase available dorsiflexion of the ankle joint. Though there are several effective physiotherapeuticexercises available to resolve this problem, but it’s still in dilemma about the immediate effects. Muscle EnergyTechnique (MET) and Static Stretching (SS) are the techniques which can efficiently improve the flexibility ofmuscles and also very scarce literature is present on comparing the effect of these techniques for increasing ankledorsiflexion for improving calf tightness. So, this study aimed to evaluate and compare the immediate effect ofMuscle Energy Technique and Static Stretching on calf flexibility in females.Methodology: An experimental study in which 30 female subjects aged between 18 to 25 years were divided intotwo groups.GroupA (n= 15) and Group B (n=15) were given MET and Static Stretching (SS) respectively. AnkleDorsiflexion ROM was assessed pre- intervention and post- intervention. The data collected were analyzed bySPSS (version 26).Result and Conclusion: Group A (MET) and Group B (SS) were given suitable intervention for calf muscle tightness,and bothgroups showed that the mean ROM during post-test was higher than pre-test. After the comparison ofboth groups, no significant difference was seen in the mean scores (p≥ 0.05). Equal number of repetitions of bothtechniques were given, however, still MET showed slightly greater effect. Therefore, the study concluded thatfewer repetitions of MET could have greater or equal effect as Static Stretching. Further studies with large samplesize and follow up are recommended.

Authors: Lee Su In , Cho Gyeongjun , Kim Su-Hyeon , Kim Da-Ran , Kwak Youn-Sig
Published: July 2023

Fire blight disease, caused by the bacterial pathogen Erwinia amylovora, has been a significant concern for over 50 countries worldwide. The efficacy of chemical pesticides currently available for disease control is limited. To address this issue, research is being conducted to explore environmentally friendly control methods, particularly biological control using beneficial microorganisms. However, there is limited research on the apple microbiota community and minimal research has been conducted on fungal communities that may exhibit reliable performance in apple trees. Therefore, our objective was to analyze the fungal communities present in apples at different developmental stages and in different tissues, aiming to identify potential biological control agents for fire blight disease. Our findings indicate that the fungal communities present in apple buds, flowers and leaves play an important role in inhibiting the invasion of E. amylovora. Specifically, we propose GS11 and Lipomyces starkeyi as potential keystone taxa that respond to fire blight disease. These findings provide insights into the continuity and discontinuity of fungal community structure in different developmental stages of apples and offer predictions for potential biological control agents for fire blight disease.

Authors: Bhalloo Zahir
Published: July 2023

Studies that look at transregional connections between the Arabian Peninsula and South Asia have so far focused mainly on links between Yemen and South Asia (Bonnenfant: 2000; Akkerman 2022). Oman, which occupies a strategic place on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, has not yet received significant scholarly attention. Drawing on fieldwork in Oman, this paper explores Oman’s ties to South Asia, specifically to the regions of Sindh (Pakistan) and Gujarat (India), through the example of the mobility and settlement of the Lawatiya Shiʿi Muslim merchant community in Oman and its material heritage in the form of funerary architecture (graves) and written artefacts in Khojki Sindhi script (gravestones, devotional texts, commercial registers, and documents).

Published: July 2023

Obstructive jaundice (OJ) is a common problem in daily clinical practice. However, completely understanding the pathophysiological changes in OJ remains a challenge for planning current and future management. The effects of OJ are widespread, affecting the biliary tree, hepatic cells, liver function, and causing systemic complications. The lack of bile in the intestine, destruction of the intestinal mucosal barrier, and increased absorption of endotoxins can lead to endotoxemia, production of proinflammatory cytokines, and induce systemic inflammatory response syndrome, ultimately leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Proper management of OJ includes adequate water supply and electrolyte replacement, nutritional support, preventive antibiotics, pain relief, and itching relief. The surgical treatment of OJ depends on the cause, location, and severity of the obstruction. Biliary drainage, surgery, and endoscopic intervention are potential treatment options depending on the patient's condition. In addition to modern medical treatments, Traditional Chinese medicine may offer therapeutic benefits for OJ. A comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed for relevant articles published up to August 1970. This review discusses in detail the pathophysiological changes associated with OJ and presents effective strategies for managing the condition.

Role of Antifungal Therapy in Treating different Types of Fungal Infections and it’s Future: A Systematic Review
Authors: Nath Chatterjee Amitder
Published: July 2023

An estimated 20-25 percent of the world's population has a fungal infection, which is most commonly a Trichophyton type of infection, making fungal disease infection one of the most common types of infection worldwide. Due to drug resistance and changes in the morphology of the fungi, treating fungal infections in humans is one of the most difficult cases to cure. Since 1960, the discovery of systemic antifungal chemotherapy has made a substantial contribution to the treatment of the majority of human fungal infections. Antifungal agents' chemotherapy rely completely on their ability to disrupt the integrity of the plasma membrane, cell wall, cell metabolism, mitotic activity, or inhibit fungal cell formation. Topically (to treat local infections) or systemically (to heal skin infections) antifungal treatments are available (systemic infections treatment). Structure, solubility, mode of action, pharmacokinetics, activity spectrum, therapeutic impact (fungicidal or fungistatic), and toxicity are all characteristics of antifungal medicines. The emerging of multi-drug-resistant fungal diseases has given rise to a new class of fungal infections. The availability of medications that target fungal cells rather than human cells further restricts pharmaceutical options for treating fungal infections. A brief systematic overview of the types of fungal infections, characteristics of antifungal medicines, and the future of antifungal therapy has been clearly stated in the current review so that it can be utilised in further upcoming study.

Authors: Rösler Antonia , Scheffler Christiane , Hermanussen Michael
Published: July 2023

Background: Migration is omnipresent. It can come hand in hand with emotional stress which is known to influence the growth of children.
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse whether type of migration (forced or voluntary) and the geographic direction had influenced the growth of Polish children after World War II.
Sample and Methods: A sub dataset of 2,208 individuals between the ages of 2-20, created from data of the 2nd Polish Anthropological Survey carried out in 1966–1969, including anthropometrical data and social and demographic information based on questionnaire, was used to analyse migration effects.
Results: No association could be found between the direction of migration and the height of the children. The confidence intervals of the means of all classified migration categories overlap significantly and the effect size of the influence of migration category on height is ds=.140, which is too low to see any effects, even if there were one.
Conclusion: Neither forced nor voluntary migration in Poland after World War II led to a change in height in children of migrating families.
NONALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE AND ALBUMINURIA : A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Nur Amelia Devita
Published: July 2023

Background: The presence of fat storage in the liver that is larger than 5% of the liver's weight is diagnostic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which can occur in the absence of excessive alcohol consumption or a secondary cause of liver illnesses. It is interesting to note that it has been hypothesised that NAFLD might be able to contribute to albuminuria by exacerbating the endothelial dysfunction that results from systemic inflammation.

Aim: This article examines the link between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and albuminuria.

Methods: This study showed that it met all of the requirements by looking at the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. So, the experts could make sure that the study was as current as possible. The search method used a number of electronic reference databases, such as Pubmed and SagePub, to look for papers that were published between 2000 and 2023. We didn't look at review papers, articles that had already been published, or articles that were only half done.

Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 89  articles, whereas the results of our search on SagePub brought up 33 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2013 yielded a total of 22 articles for PubMed and 16 articles for SagePub. In the end, we compiled a total of 17 papers, 12 of which came from PubMed and five of which came from SagePub. We included seven research that met the criteria.

Conclusion: Study has consistently shown that there is a correlation between NAFLD and albuminuria.
TUBERCULOSIS IN LIVER TRANSPLANT RECIPIENT : A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Nur Amelia Devita
Published: July 2023

Background: Despite claims, transplant recipients' TB rates are random. The rate of posttransplant tuberculosis depends on the organ transplanted, pre-transplant latent tuberculosis screening, and previous antituberculosis medication. This rate may also depend on recipient and donor tuberculosis rates. Active tuberculosis after solid organ transplantation increases the risk of graft loss and death four-fold compared to the general population.

Aim: This article examines the link between tubercolis and liver transplant recipient.

Methods: This study showed that it met all of the requirements by looking at the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. So, the experts could make sure that the study was as current as possible. The search method used a number of electronic reference databases, such as Pubmed and SagePub, to look for papers that were published between 2000 and 2023. We didn't look at review papers, articles that had already been published, or articles that were only half done.

Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 66  articles, whereas the results of our search on SagePub brought up 23 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2013 yielded a total of 23 articles for PubMed and 18 articles for SagePub. In the end, we compiled a total of 20 papers, 16 of which came from PubMed and four of which came from SagePub. We included five research that met the criteria.

Conclusion: Patients who have undergone organ transplantation are at high risk of developing latent TB. This shows the importance of administering prophylactic drugs such as isoniazid in post-liver transplant patients.

Published: July 2023

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (B.P.H) affects up to 80% of men older than 45 years of age worldwide, half of whom will eventually require treatment for its clinical manifestations such as bladder outflow obstruction (BOO) and its associated symptoms. There are various treatment strategies for B.P.H; alpha blockers being the most commonly employed. However, the outcome of said pharmacologic agent in treatment of BOO, in the presence of intra-vesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) of varying grades is less researched. The aim of the current study was to study the association IPP grade and the outcome of BOO treatment among patients with BPH. This prospective cohort comprised of a sample of 100 B.P.H patients, aged ≥ 45 years (chosen via non-probability – consecutive sampling), presenting to Ziauddin University Hospital, Karachi from June 2019 to December 2019. After taking written informed consent, data was recorded onto a pre-structured questionnaire containing inquiries pertaining to basic biodata, sociodemographic details, disease particulars, treatment outcome (gauged using IPSS, UFM and PVR) assessed at first contact and again after 1 and 3 months. The data obtained was analyzed using SPSS v. 21.0. The mean age of the sample stood at 68 years (SD ± 10.3).The mean prostate size was recorded to be 58 cm3 (SD ± 32) . The commonest grade of IPP was II (45%), followed by grade I (29%) and grade III (24%). The cumulative treatment outcome was poor, with only a meagre improvement (9.1% in IPSS score, 4% in UFM value and 13% in PVR) was recorded. Stratification revealed that the treatment outcome became progressively worse with increasing grade of IPP. After careful consideration, it can be concluded that the outcome of alpha blocker treatment for BOO among patients with IPP is poor. IPP serves to seemingly dampen the effect of alpha blockers with increasing grades corresponding to progressively worse outcome. Thus, additional modalities may be employed to supplement alphab blocker treatment for better patient outcome among patients with IPP.

Stealthing

Wat is stealthing, is het (al) een strafbaar feit en zo ja en zo nee, moet het in de toekomst (ook) als verkrachting worden gekwalificeerd? In deze bijdrage zal aan de hand van de recente vervolging van twee verdachten ter zake van stealthing worden beargumenteerd dat het buitengewoon wenselijk is als de wetgever ondubbelzinnig besluit of stealthing een zedenmisdrijf behoort te zijn en zo ja, onder wat voor omstandigheden en met welke strafbedreiging.

Gangrena de Fournier (GF) responde a una emergencia quirúrgica que evoluciona rápidamente y se disemina desde las capas más externas hasta las capas más internas de la fascia, se extiende a nivel del área genitourinaria, perineal o perianal, pared abdominal anterior y llegando a afectar órganos vitales. La incidencia es de alrededor de 1,6 por 100.000 hombres, lo que indica que haya más prevalencia en el hombre que en la mujer a experimentar esta afección, con una proporción de 10:1; En promedio, ocurre en adultos aproximadamente entre 30 a 60 años. Sin embargo, puede afectar a todas las edades y género. En el examen físico al inicio de la preclínica se presenta con signos inflamatorios de leve intensidad tales como: rubor, calor, edema circundante a nivel de la región del perianal, este inicia con una mancha negra que se le denomina signo de Brodie, pero a menudo que avanza la clínica, se acompaña de un dolor intenso e hipersensibilidad en los genitales, se observa áreas pequeñas de tejido desvitalizado provocando una fascitis necrotizante, exudado purulento, olor fétido, crepitación. Realizar un artículo científico que brinde información sobre el manejo actual del tratamiento de la gangrena de Fournier con fácil acceso y compresión, tanto para el público en general como para el personal de la salud. Se desarrolló un artículo de estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo que incluyó una recopilación y revisión sistemática de revistas científicas actualizadas en los últimos 5 años, guiadas en bases de datos y en revistas de alto impacto médico en idioma inglés y español. Se llevó a cabo un artículo de revisión bibliográfica con alto impacto en cuanto al manejo actual del tratamiento, basados en estudios de profesionales expertos en el tema, así mismo gracias a las últimas investigaciones realizadas, se pudo llegar a conocer los métodos alternativos para tener buenos resultados estéticos en las áreas afectadas por la GF. La condición fatal conocida como gangrena de Fournier, debe ser intervenida como una emergencia quirúrgica. Las recomendaciones actuales indican el uso de terapia de presión negativo, terapia con oxígeno hiperbárica, para el cierre de heridas el uso de injertos de piel o colgajo, e incluso se mencionó el uso de inmunoglobulinas intravenosas e intercambio terapéutico de plasma, no obstante, la información disponible en la actualidad a un no disponen de resultados que consoliden el uso de este tratamiento.

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o comportamento do número de casos e de óbitos nas regiões cearenses. Mais especificamente, a investigação testa a hipótese de que as condições sociais/econômicas iniciais dos municípios/regiões ensejam distintos equilíbrios (clubes de convergência) de casos e de óbitos nas regiões do Ceará, no período de maio de 2020 a outubro de 2021. Assim, foi sugerido um procedimento de etapa única para testar empiricamente a hipótese de convergência global para as 15 regiões do Ceará, no período de 2020-2021. Os resultados mostraram que a hipótese nula de convergência global foi rejeitada, indicando a existência de dois clubes de convergência em termos de números de casos de COVID-19 e de uma divergência para a mesma situação de todas as regiões do estado do Ceará. O mesmo teste aplicado para o número de óbitos conclui que há dois clubes e uma divergência nas regiões cearenses.

The persistence and dietary intake of deltamethrin, endosulfan and malathion residues from coloured capsicum (Capsicum annuum L. var. Orobelle) grown under open ventilated polyhouse, was assessed after following common culinary processes. Each insecticide was applied at two concentrations, i.e. the recommended (single dose) and double the recommended doses. Insecticide residues were extracted using acetone and cleaned up over charcoal and Florisil columns. The determination and quantification of insecticide residues were done by using gas chromatograph equipped with ECD. The application of single dose, i.e. deltamethrin (0.0028%), endosulfan (0.05%) and malathion (0.05%) resulted in initial deposits of 0.667, 3.900 and 2.026 mg/kg; whereas, 0.937, 5.694 and 4.078 mg/kg at double dose, respectively, on capsicum fruits. The RL50 values were worked out as 1.90-2.41 days for deltamethrin, 1.75-1.88 days for endosulfan and 1.83 days for both the doses of malathion. Fruits washing under tap water for 1 minute provided relief of 30.05-38.81, 23.58-37.52 and 25.0-27.64% from deltamethrin, endosulfan and malathion residues, respectively, upto 3rd day, irrespective of doses. However, steaming after washing of the fruits provided maximum decontamination from insecticide residues. The endosulfan treated capsicum fruit consumption as salad revealed an appreciable risk to the consumers till 3rd day, whereas, washing+steaming reduced the dietary risk to the day of insecticide application.
