Women’s Career Decision Making and Interest in Engineering
Authors: Tino Concetta , Lavagnolo Maria Cristina , Fedeli Monica , Bierema Laura
Published: February 2022

The aim of the paper was to better understand the influence of personal and contextual factors on women’s career decision making and interest in undergraduate engineering students. On the basis of Social Cognitive Career Theory and utilising a qualitative approach, nine interviews were conducted with women undergraduates at a university in Northern Italy. The results reveal four major aspects: a) the women’s interest in engineering is cultivated by different contextual factors in the same way across multiple cultures; b) self-efficacy affects their interest in engineering; c) this interest is nurtured by internal and external recognition; d) their career decision making is determined by an interdependence of personal and contextual factors. The paper contributes to promoting cultural changes in engineering fields. Some practical implications for education professionals and policy makers were also reported.
Saint Jerome as a Model and Author for Nuns in Early Hungarian Texts
Authors: Korondi Ágnes
Published: February 2022

Saint Jerome was a prominent figure in the Hungarian-language literature prepared mainly for nuns in the last decade of the fifteenth and the first decades of the sixteenth century. A Dominican codex contains two legends about him (one of them is the translation of Pseudo-Augustine’s Epistola ad Cyrillum de magnificentiis beati Hieronymi), while a Franciscan manuscript preserved the Hungarian version of the Regula monachorum attributed to Jerome. The Franciscan András Nyujtódi represented the Church Father as a model teacher and translator when quoting the great biblical philologist’s dedicatory lines to the Book of Judith in his translation of the same biblical book, which this Transylvanian friar prepared as a private reading for his sister, a Franciscan tertiary. Another self-proclaimed follower of Jerome’s translating activity was an anonymous Carthusian monk, who mentioned the Slavic Bible and liturgy prepared by the saintly scholar. – The paper presents the texts by and about Jerome, which can be found in the not very extensive late medieval Hungarian-language literature, and traces the image of the saintly author as represented for the audience of the corpus produced for Observant Dominican and Franciscan nuns, tertiaries, and in a few cases perhaps laypersons.
Quasi nani super humeros gigantum? Reusing Classical and Medieval Quotations in the Hagiographic Discourse in Tenth-Century Liège
Authors: Gruntar Vilfan Sibil , Gaşpar Cristian-Nicolae
Published: February 2022

The paper offers a detailed investigation of select passages from the Vita II Sancti Remacli, a hagiographic text produced in the diocese of Liège in the last decades of the tenth century. The purpose of this investigation is threefold. First, to illustrate the point that the tenth-century Latin hagiographic texts produced in the diocese of Liège did not display quotations from classical and patristic authors only as petrified forms of frozen ancient wisdom with a merely decorative function, but rather as raw gems which were polished and adjusted to fit seamlessly into a new framework. Thus, they could enhance both the form and contents of texts closely connected to their age’s political and intellectual realities. Second, to show that nineteenth- and twentieth-century editions of such texts can act as distorting mirrors to modern readers and researchers, since, due to an editorial strategy that privileged classical material over its medieval context, the editors sometimes completely neglected how quotations from ancient authors were re-worked by the tenth-century hagiographer following the stylistic requirements of rhymed prose. Third, to suggest as a necessary corrective to this distorting approach a new way of reading and consequently editing these types of texts, which places classical and patristic quotations in their proper context, by paying due attention to manuscript evidence, to the stylistic requirements of their new context, and to the complex functions they play in their new textual environment.
Ostępy języka. Modernistyczna proza Djuny Barnes w polskim tłumaczeniu
Authors: Sobczak Izabela
Published: February 2022

Backwoods of Language. The Modernist Prose of Djuna Barnes in Polish Translation No sooner than after eighty years since the moment of the original publication of Djuna Barnes’s Nightwood was Polish literary market enriched by a translation of one of the most peculiar novels of the Euro-American modernism. Marcin Szuster’s translation under Polish title Ostępy nocy has already managed to earn much praise and also some prizes and open a first Polish discussion about the work of the eccentric American writer. The paper’s focus is to analyze the Polish translation of Nightwood with a special interest in Barnes’s style as it becomes a central character in the novel which connects, according to feminist critics (K. Kaivola, S. Benstock), to its emancipatory potential. In my paper I follow a claim that the complex style of this prose writing is a (conscious) manifestation of a woman’s voice (as an affect), behind which one can discover a body – one that experiences and is experienced (J. Taylor). The body, both a structural and a rhetorical category in feminist criticism, in Barnes’s prose can be seen as an element organizing time and space – therefore, ambiguity of her terms and complexity of style are forming a true translation challenge. Marcin Szuster as a translator needs to follow Barnes’s “distinctive point of view,” which is a “feminine” one and distanced by the length of gender, experience and time.

Cultural Diplomacy in Social Media: A Case Study

The online tools of communication have an impact on cultural diplomacy, which enables the governments to include potential partners into the participation in culture and at the same time to win them for their foreign policy goals. The objective of this article is to check the hypothesis saying that social media has become relevant in the foreign ministries’ external communication. The authors conduct a case study, based on cultural diplomacy events, called “years and seasons of culture”, aimed by the selected European countries at Russia in 2013–2016. The authors assume that the inclusion of social media into the toolkit of cultural diplomacy means a relevant change in the media use in foreign policy. While studying the cases of Austrian, Dutch, German, Polish and British cultural diplomacy the authors check, if they can be analyzed as media events. The authors implemented institutional approach, quantitative network and qualitative content analysis. The research didn’t confirm that cultural diplomacy events might be seen as media events. Although the Russian-Ukrainian conflict defined the relevant context for the studied cases, it was hardly reflected in their visibility. Social media didn’t play any significant role in the promotion of the events in the chosen researched period either.

Lately, the tourism and hospitality industry has been actively developing. The high competition among travel agencies requires searching for new ways to promote travel services. Therefore, most commercial companies, including the tourism sector, use the Internet to promote their goods and services. The relevance of the research topic is caused by the fact that more and more people around the world use social networks. Therefore, in comparison with other platforms, social networks not only have a better global reach but also contain more information about users. This makes them a popular tool for manipulation. Manipulation in social networks consists in the application of several methods that use automation tools and certain algorithms of social networks. Keywords—digital marketing technologies, the hospitality industry, information technologies, social media, tourism.
The Current State of ―Information Security Awareness‖ in German SMEs
Authors:   Technische Hochschule (TH) Wildau, Hochschulring 1, 15745 Wildau, Germany, Scholl Margit , Schuktomow Regina
Published: February 2022

The role of information security in German SMEs is becoming increasingly important. External input plays a key role here, but some of it tends to overwhelm SMEs rather than providing systematic assistance that can be readily implemented. In a project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, an overall scenario for new ways to achieve more sustainable information security (IS) in German SMEs is being developed, one that puts people at the heart of the measure. In addition to a current literature search on the situation in companies, the current state of information security and IS awareness is recorded in the project through a combination of different methods: indepth psychological interviews, an online survey in four pilot companies and security-related competence profiles derived from the German IT-Grundschutz. This article presents some preliminary results published. Keywords—Information security, awareness, human factor, German SMEs, in-depth interviews, survey, competence profiles, security topics, training methods.

Geologia, petrografia e geoquímica da associação tonalito-trondhjemito-granodiorito (TTG) do extremo leste do Subdomínio de Transição, Província Carajás, Pará
Authors: Santos Patrick Araujo dos , Teixeira Mayara Fraeda Barbosa , Dall’Agnol Roberto , Guimarães Fabriciana Vieira
Published: February 2022

O extremo leste do Subdomínio de Transição da Província Carajás é dominado por associação formada essencialmente por tonalitos e trondjhemitos com granodioritos subordinados (TTG), todos apresentando biotita e epidoto magmático como principais minerais máficos. Os tonalitos e trondhjemitos apresentam similaridades geoquímicas com suítes TTG arqueanas, enquanto os granodioritos seguem um trend cálcio-alcalino e apresentam enriquecimento em K2O, Rb e Ba, quando comparados com os trondhjemitos dominantes. Os dados geoquímicos não indicam uma vinculação entre esses dois grupos de rochas, não havendo evidências de que os granodioritos derivem dos trondhjemitos por processos de cristalização fracionada ou fusão parcial de rochas TTG. Os tonalitos e trondhjemitos exibem afinidades com TTG de alta razão La/Yb e Sr/Y da Província Carajás, sugerindo que foram derivados de fontes à base de granada anfibolitos em altas pressões (cerca de 1,5 GPa) e tiveram sua evolução magmática controlada pelo fracionamento de granada e, possivelmente, anfibólio. A ampla distribuição da associação TTG na área estudada implica a existência expressiva de rochas tipo TTG no Subdomínio de Transição, o que pode fortalecer a hipótese de que o Subdomínio de Transição represente uma extensão do Domínio Rio Maria, mas afetado por eventos de retrabalhamento crustal neoarqueanos.

Granitoides arqueanos aflorantes entre as cidades de Água Azul do Norte e Ourilândia do Norte, porção NW do Terreno Granito-Greenstone de Rio Maria, Província Carajás, foram agrupados em associações granodiorítica e trondhjemítica. As rochas granodioríticas são constituídas por: 1) anfibólio-biotita-granodioritos fortemente saussuritizados, com idade de cristalização de 2875 ± 2 Ma, conteúdo de máficos entre 16 e 21%, teores elevados de Ni, Cr e Mg, padrão contínuo de fracionamento dos elementos terras raras e anomalias negativas de Eu desprezíveis, assemelhando-se petrográfica, geoquímica e geocronologicamente às rochas da Suíte Sanukitoide Rio Maria; 2) biotita-granodioritos menos alterados, com idade de cristalização de 2884 ± 3 Ma e total de máficos variando de 8 a 15%, comparativamente mais enriquecidos em elementos terras raras e com pronunciadas anomalias negativas de Eu, diferindo em termos petrográficos e geoquímicos das rochas anteriores; 3) leucogranodioritos-granitos de coloração esbranquiçada a rosada, contendo fenocristais de plagioclásio e álcali feldspato, correlacionados às rochas da Suíte Guarantã. As rochas trondhjemíticas são representadas por biotita-epidoto-trondhjemitos, tendo biotita e epidoto como principais fases magmáticas, altas razões La/Yb, Sr/Y e Nb/Ta e fortes similaridades com as rochas do Trondhjemito Mogno.

Published: February 2022

Entre os granitoides arqueanos que afloram no Subdomínio de Transição da Província Carajás, nas proximidades de Vila Jussara, destacam-se duas unidades, designadas de Tonalito São Carlos e Trondhjemito Colorado. Ambas são marcadas por intensa recristalização, principalmente dos cristais de quartzo e plagioclásio. O Tonalito São Carlos (~2,93 Ga) é formado principalmente por hornblenda-biotita-tonalitos, com padrão estrutural NE-SW a N-S. Diverge geoquimicamente do Trondhjemito Colorado por ser empobrecido em sílica e enriquecido nos óxidos constituintes dos minerais máficos. Possui baixo fracionamento de elementos terras raras (ETR) pesados e anomalias de Eu discretas a ausentes. Suas características não permitem associá-lo com as típicas suítes TTG arqueanas, tampouco à Suíte Sanukitoide Rio Maria. O Trondhjemito Colorado (2,87 Ga) é uma associação tonalítica-trondhjemítica-granodiorítica (TTG), com foliação E-W a NW-SE, localmente N-S, com mergulhos fortes. São rochas homogêneas petrograficamente, formadas por biotita-tonalitos/trondhjemitos, contendo também epidoto. Suas características geoquímicas são compatíveis com aquelas dos TTG arqueanos. Os ETR mostram acentuado fracionamento de ETR pesados, com dois tipos de padrões, um com anomalias de Eu negativas discretas ou até ausentes, e um segundo com anomalias de Eu positivas, acompanhadas por decréscimo em ETR leves.

O Granito São João (GSJ) é um batólito anorogênico de formato circular, com aproximadamente 160 km² de área, que secciona unidades arqueanas pertencentes ao Terreno Granito-Greenstone de Rio Maria, sudeste do Cráton Amazônico. É constituído dominantemente por quatro fácies petrográficas distintas: biotita-anfibólio-monzogranito, biotita-anfibólio-sienogranito, anfibólio-biotita-monzogranito a sienogranito e biotita-monzogranito a sienogranito. O GSJ possui natureza metaluminosa a fracamente peraluminosa, razões FeOt/(FeOt + MgO) entre 0,94 e 0,99 e K2O/Na2O entre 1 e 2, mostrando afinidades geoquímicas com granitos intraplaca do tipo A, subtipo A2, e granitos ferrosos, sugerindo uma fonte crustal para sua origem. O GSJ possui conteúdos de elementos terras raras leves (ETRL) mais elevados que os elementos terras raras pesados (ETRP) e um padrão sub-horizontalizado para esses últimos, além de anomalias negativas de Eu crescentes no sentido das rochas menos evoluídas para as mais evoluídas. Os dados de suscetibilidade magnética distinguem seis populações com diferentes características magnéticas, onde os valores mais elevados relacionam-se às fácies menos evoluídas e os mais baixos às mais evoluídas. O estudo comparativo entre o GSJ e as suítes graníticas da Província Carajás mostra que ele apresenta maiores semelhanças geológicas, petrográficas, geoquímicas e de suscetibilidade magnética com os granitos que formam a Suíte Serra dos Carajás, podendo ser enquadrado na mesma.
Salgado Paraense: an inventory of a forgotten coastal Amazonian avifauna
Authors: Lees Alexander Charles , Thompson Ian , Moura Nárgila Gomes de
Published: February 2022

We report on the poorly-known, coastal avifauna of the Salgado Paraense (in the state of Pará, Brazil) east of the delta of the Amazonas river, combining data from recent surveys with an analysis of historical records. Three-hundred and twenty three species were recorded in the habitats inventoried: estuarine, beach and mangrove habitats, restinga, seasonally-flooded grasslands and secondary forest. Particularly noteworthy records included: the discovery of a disjunct population of Laterallus jamaicensis; a previously unrecorded staging ground for Stercorarius spp.; the second documented Brazilian record of Calidris pugnax; the first documented records in Pará for a number of marine species, including the regionally-threatened Sterna dougallii, and the rediscovery of ‘Picumnus pallidus’, a taxon of uncertain validity, all documented by archived digital vouchers. Coastal habitats represent an important contribution to local avian species-richness in Amazonia and they are theoretically better-protected by existing conservation units than neighboring terra firme habitats, yet this region’s biodiversity remains threatened by habitat loss, hunting, and major infrastructure improvements.

O impacto do estresse hídrico artificial na comunidade de samambaias e licófitas em um sub-bosque de floresta ombrófila na Amazônia oriental
Authors: Medeiros Priscila Sanjuan de , Ferreira Leandro Valle , Costa Antônio Carlos Lôla da
Published: February 2022

Por sua alta dependência de umidade para reprodução, as samambaias e as licófitas são plantas muito sensíveis a variações de condições meteorológicas. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a influência do estresse hídrico artificial do Projeto Seca Floresta (Esecaflor) na riqueza de espécies e densidade de indivíduos de samambaias e licófitas do sub-bosque da floresta ombrófila na Amazônia. O Projeto Esecaflor compreende dois hectares, um dos quais de área experimental, onde ocorre a exclusão da precipitação, e outro para controle. O experimento começou em 2000 e está ativo. A umidade do solo foi medida de 2000 a 2011, e os dados de samambaias e licófitas em 2011. A taxa de redução de umidade do solo no hectare experimental, em comparação ao controle, variou de 17% a 68%. A riqueza de espécies apresentou 12 e cinco espécies no hectare controle e experimental, respectivamente, uma redução de 58%, enquanto a densidade de indivíduos apresentou 112 e 11 nos hectares controle e experimental, respectivamente, uma redução de 90%. A redução da riqueza de espécies e da densidade de indivíduos no hectare experimental é resultante da redução da umidade do solo. Isso demonstra que as mudanças climáticas na Amazônia geram impactos negativos na biodiversidade.

Bertholletia excelsa é uma espécie com ampla distribuição na Amazônia, testada e recomendada na recuperação de áreas degradadas pela atividade minerária. Em 1984, em uma área de restauração florestal da Floresta Nacional de Saracá-Taquera, implantou-se um reflorestamento em 19,4 ha, com mudas de castanheira e outras 66 espécies. Foi monitorado o crescimento em diâmetro de 416 castanheiras em um período de dez anos. Os diâmetros médios encontrados foram de 19,2 ± 10,0 cm, 21,1 ± 10,7 cm, 23,2 ± 11,4 cm, 24,9 ± 11,9 cm e 28,2 ± 12,7 cm, respectivamente aos 20, 22, 24, 26 e 30 anos de idade. Os incrementos do crescimento foram significativos em todos os períodos analisados. A altura média aos 20 anos foi de 15,6 ± 4,8 m (0,78 m ano-1). O incremento médio anual do diâmetro à altura do peito (DAP) foi praticamente constante em todos os períodos monitorados (0,96 cm ano-1). Foi proposto um modelo de tendência de crescimento do diâmetro em função do tempo (R² = 0,99). Aos 30 anos de idade, foram selecionadas 18 árvores, que deveriam servir como porta-sementes para produção de mudas e plantio nas áreas anuais de restauração florestal, em função de apresentarem incremento do DAP superior a 2 cm ano-1.

Published: February 2022

Pachira aquatica is a Neotropical tree of economic importance for local communities, although little is known about its flower biology especially flower rewards. This study aimed to analyze some aspects of flower biology of this species, focusing on nectar production dynamics We measured nectar production and analyzed the effect of nectar removal and cross-pollination on sugar production and standing crop (the amount of nectar present in a flower exposed to pollination at a given moment). We found that P. aquatica has large, brush-type, perfect flowers, with white colored petals, red stamens and a strong floral scent. Flowers are protandrous and dichogamous. Pollen viability is about 96%. Anthesis is nocturnal and asynchronous. The nectar is relatively abundant (99.8 ± 118.5 μL) and diluted (15.2 ± 4.7% p/p) and its production increases in the morning period. Neither nectar removal nor cross-pollination affected sugar production. Standing crop was not significantly different from the control, indicating that there is probably a low visitation rate. Both flower and nectar production characteristics indicate that this species has the potential to be visited by different flower visitors, especially bats, birds and bees.

Published: February 2022

The genus Montrichardia is widely distributed across the Brazilian Amazon, however very little is known about its floral biology and floral visitors. This study, carried out over four days in September 2011 in the Caxiuanã National Forest aimed to investigate aspects of floral biology such as inflorescence growth, reproductive function, fruit size and principal visitors of Montrichardia arborescens in eastern Amazonia. It was estimated that the inflorescences monitored over the four day period were open for between 48-72 hours. Open inflorescences emitted more heat during morning visits compared to evening visits. Floral visitor numbers were dramatically lower than those reported in other studies. Out of the 75 individuals of Montrichardia arborescens observed, only seven received visitors. Results also showed no significant difference in pollen viability across measured spadix sections. Lastly, the number of carpels per fruit showed no significant effect on fruit size and shape.

Published: February 2022

To meet the increasingly stringent constraints on mobile and point emissions in the wake of the dwindling fortunes of fossil fuels, evaluation of hybrid fuels for application in combustion engines has become an imperative, especially in the third world countries. This paper presents, modeling of atomization characteristics of gasoline-ethanol fuel blends. Fuel breakup models and correlations between flow patterns and droplet characteristics were adopted and implemented in OpenFOAM Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling suite for direct gasoline injector using a simple cylindrical mesh structure at constant volume. The Rosin Rammler distribution model was used to generate the number of spray particles injected into the cylinder. The spray modeling and atomization employed the use of blob sheet model and Kelvin-Helmholtz-Rayleigh-Taylor (KH-RT) model while the numerical technique for simulating atomization process by CFD included the use of governing equations such as Eulerian for gas phase, Lagrangian for disperse phase and turbulence modeling. The effects of fuel blends, injection pressure, ambient gas pressure and spray cone angle were evaluated on the axial spray tip penetration, spray width, and overall Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD). The SMD was seen to be affected by varying the degree of injection cone angle. The spray tip penetration lengths were larger for higher injection cone angles while higher penetration lengths were obtained at higher injection pressures. One salient conclusion drawn from the modeling is that as the number of particle increased, the density of clusters became smaller.

This paper presents predictions of spray characteristics of model gasoline, ethanol gasoline-ethanol fuel blends. Fuel breakup models and correlations between flow patterns and droplet characteristics were adopted and implemented in OpenFOAM Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling suite l for direct gasoline injector using a simple cylindrical mesh structure at constant volume. The Rosin Rammler distribution model was used to generate the number of spray particles injected into the cylinder. The spray modeling and atomization employed the use of blob sheet model and KH-RT model while the numerical technique for simulating atomization process by CFD included the use of governing equations such as Eulerian for gas phase, Lagrangian for disperse phase and turbulence modeling. Spray evolution at various energizing times particle density and The Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) relationships and particle size distribution were studied in simulation mode. The results showed that with longer injection time frame and wider injection angle, the penetration width was wider and the penetration length deeper (longer) resulting in better atomization. Concerning particle density and its distribution, as number of particle increased, the density of clusters became smaller.

Published: February 2022

Objective: To determine any relationship of diet with breast cancer risk.
Methods: The case-control study was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital and the Karachi Institute of Radiation and Nuclear Medicine, Karachi, from February 2015 to July 2017, and comprised cases with a confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer and controls. Data was collected using the Alternate Healthy Eating Index 2010, which was modified according to the particular cultural patterns of diet in the Pakistani population. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
Results: Of the 1124 subjects, 374(33.3%) were cases and 750(66.7%) were controls. High intake of grains, both whole and refined including white rice, was associated with breast cancer (odds ratio: 2.53; 95% confidence interval: 1.69-3.79; p<0.001). There was no association of breast cancer with Alternate Healthy Eating Index 2010 score (odds ratio: 1.85; 95% confidence interval: 0.61-1.17; p=0.291).
Conclusions: There was found a need for awareness of a healthy diet based on more of whole grains and brown rice replacement with refined grains and white rice, respectively.

Authors: Faisal Tayyaba , Naseem Sajida , Ashfaq Tabinda , Hashmi Fasih , Ullah Aman
Published: February 2022

Objective: To scrutinise the research proposals of medical residents for inadequacies in writing dissertation synopsis.
Method: The analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at the regional centre of the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, Islamabad, Pakistan, and comprised synopsis from January to June 2020 of postgraduate residents attached with different hospitals in Rawalpindi and Islamabad.  For evaluation purposes, an institutional checklist was used that had 4 domains: general, epidemiological, statistical, and bibliographical review. These were assessed by a single epidemiologist. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
Results: Of the 400 research proposals, 224(56%) were submitted by male and 176(44%) by female residents. Also, 208(52%) proposals were submitted by residents at public-sector hospitals, and 114(28.5%) by those at private-sector hospitals, while 78(19.5%) were from military hospitals. Significant association of errors was found with training institutions, speciality and duration of training (p<0.05). No gender difference was seen (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Majority of the research proposals lacked correct understanding of all the concepts related to research. Difference in research writing skills across specialties and training institutions may be related to the lack of availability of research assistance and good mentorship.

Published: February 2022

Objectives: To assess the risk factors for intensive care unit admission and inpatient all-cause mortality among adult meningitis patients.
Method: The retrospective study was conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised data between July 2010 and June 2019 of patients of either gender aged 18 years diagnosed with bacterial, viral or tuberculous meningitis. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to explore independent predictors of inpatient mortality and intensive care unit admission. Data was analysed using SPSS 24.
Results: Of the 929 patients with suspected meningitis, 506(54.5%) had confirmatory diagnosis. Of them, 303(59.9%) were males. The overall median age of the sample was 47.0 years (interquartile range: 33.0 years). The most common aetiology was bacterial meningitis 324(64%), followed by viral meningitis 141(27.9%). Incidence of inpatient mortality was 53(10.5%), while 75(14.8%) patients required intensive care unit admission. Tuberculous aetiology, intensive care unit admission, concurrent encephalitis, hydrocephalus, inpatient neurosurgery, and longer length of hospital stay were predictors of mortality (p<0.05). Non-indication of blood culture was found to be associated with reduced risk of mortality (p<0.05). For intensive care unit admission, diabetes mellitus, presentation with seizure, imaging suggestive of meningitis, and inpatient neurosurgery were associated with higher risk of admission, while hypertension, presentation with headache, viral aetiology and non-indication of blood culture reduced the risk (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Adult meningitis patients tend to have poor expected outcomes, and their management strategies should be planned accordingly.
Key Words: Meningitis, Mortality, Intensive care units, Critical care, Risk factors.
