Published: May 2021

Purpose: To provide the latest evidence on the efficacy and safety of lopinavir/ritonavir compared to other treatment options for COVID-19. Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochran Library, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science for the relevant records up to April 2021. Moreover, we scanned MedRxiv, Google Scholar, and clinical registry databases to identify additional records. We have used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and Cochrane risk of bias tools to assess the quality of studies. This Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan software (version 5.3). Results: Fourteen studies were included. No significant difference was observed between lopinavir/ritonavir and non-antiviral treatment groups in terms of negative rate of PCR (polymerase chain reaction) on day 7 (risk ratio [RR]: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.63 to 1.09; P=0.17), and day 14 (RR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.81 to 1.05; P=0.25), PCR negative conversion time (mean difference [MD]: 1.09; 95% CI: -0.10 to 2.29; P=0.07), secondary outcomes, and adverse events (P>0.05). There was no significant difference between lopinavir/ritonavir and chloroquine as well as lopinavir/ritonavir and hydroxychloroquine regarding the efficacy outcomes (P>0.05). However, lopinavir/ritonavir showed better efficacy than arbidol for the same outcomes (P<0.05). Lopinavir/ritonavir plus arbidol was effective compared to arbidol alone in terms of the negative rate of PCR on day 7 (P=0.02). However, this difference was not significant regarding other efficacy outcomes (P>0.05). Conclusion: Lopinavir/ritonavir has no more treatment effects than other therapeutic agents used herein in COVID-19 patients.

Authors: Farshchian Nazanin , Naghdian Ali , Bahrami Kamangar Parisa
Published: May 2021

Postdate pregnancy is a pregnancy that pasts more than forty weeks. This can be dangerous for the mother, fetus, and newborn. By knowing the most appropriate ultrasound criteria in predicting the probability of postdate pregnancy, its complications can be reduced by taking timely measures. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between ultrasound criteria in determining the age of postdate fetuses. This cross-sectional study (descriptive-analytical type) was done in Kermanshah Imam Reza Hospital on 33 pregnant women that, according to LMP and first-trimester ultrasound, pregnancy age was more than 40 weeks. Gestational age was calculated by various ultrasound criteria, including head circumference measurement (HC), Abdominal Circumference (AC), Biparietal Diameter (BPD), femur length (FL), and Transcerebellar Diameter (TCD). The findings were compared with calculated age by LMP. Data were analyzed by SPSS16 software. Correlation rate of pregnancy age based on LMP with FL (R=0.576, P<0.001), AC (R=0.208, P=0.245), BPD (R= -0.200, P=0.264), HC (R= -0.211, P=0.238) and TCD were (R=0.111, P=0.538). The pregnancy age correlation rate based on LMP with ultrasound criteria in general was (R=0.140, P=0.436). There was a direct relationship between gestational age based on LMP with FL, AC, TCD and inversely related to BPD and HC. Among the sonographic criteria, only the FL criterion was significantly correlated with LMP. In general, the correlation between gestational age based on LMP and ultrasound was not statistically significant.

Published: May 2021

Introduction: As with other occupations, mistakes and unsafe behaviors are among the major causes of accidents in sports. Given the harmful consequences of sport accidents, it is essential to identify ways to control and reduce these unsafe practices. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a strategy to prevent the effects of unsafe practices on the occurrence of sports accidents in sports environments.
Methodology: The research was fundamental in terms of purpose and qualitative data were collected using grounded theory using a Glaser approach. The study was conducted among 20 experts in the fields of safety, occupational medicine, psychology, sports injuries, and sports management in 2020. The participants were selected to attend in-depth unstructured interviews purposefully based on the snowball method. Data were analyzed simultaneously using a set of open, selective, and theoretical coding.
Results: The results indicated that the four factors of individual, organization, job knowledge, and the relationship between individual and organization were the main causes of human error in the occurrence of sports accidents. The individual and organizational variables (as process variables) and job knowledge as well as the relationship between the individual and the organizational factors as developmental and auxiliary variables played teh major role in this field.
Conclusion: According to the causes of sport accidents, improving the personal attitude and performance, improving the organizational structure, continuous learning and training of job knowledge, as well as improving and strengthening the positive relationship between the individual and the organization can reduce the risk and promote safety. However, lack of  paying attention to these factors disrupts immunity.

Pleurotus ostreatus, an edible mushroom is an essential food product. Recognised as one of the cheapest sources of proteins, their high nutritional and anti-nutritional properties are of immense importance to humans. The present study evaluated the effect of sawdust and dried plantain leaves on the growth and yield of Pleurotus ostreatus. Sawdust and dried plantain leaves were composted into seven substrates; as single substrates and at different combinations. The composted substrates include sawdust 100 % (M0), Dry plantain leaves 100% (M1), Dry plantain leaves + sawdust at the ratio of 1:4 (M2), 2:3 (M3), 3:2 (M4), 1:1 (M5) and 4:1(M6). Growth parameters of interest assessed flush include mycelia running rate (MRR), area of pileus, length of the stipe, the girth of the stipe, fresh weight and dry weight, number of fruit body, total yield and biological efficiency. At the end of the three weeks spawn running period, M0 was overall best in supporting mycelia running rate with a mean MRR of 16.00 cm. M1 substrates produced mushroom with longer and bigger stipes (7.17 cm) at the first flush. A higher number of fruit bodies (82.66), total yield (130.35 g), and biological efficiency (43.45 g) were all seen in M0 substrates. Sawdust at 100 % (M0) proved to be the best substrate for the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus.

Published: May 2021

Excess use of chemical fertilizers and synthetic chemicals to increase the growth and yield as well as controlling disease often reduced soil fertility, adversely affect human health and environment. That’s why an experiment was accomplished in the Horticulture farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from November 2016 to March 2017 to study the impact of Trichoderma application as bio-stimulator on potato production. The study comprised of three Trichoderma treatments, (i) T0= No Trichoderma application, (ii) T1= 106spores/ml and (iii) T2= 108spores/ml. Trichoderma 1ml/L (1000 ppm) solution was applied two times in each plot at 15 and 45 days after planting (DAP). Data on growth yield and disease suppression parameters showed significant variation. The results elluciated that application of Trichoderma increased the growth attributes positively and produced 23.82% and 11.33% higher yield in T2 and T1 compared to no application of Trichoderma, respectively. Trichoderma (108spores/ml) improved tuber yield by optimizing the dry matter content. Furthermore, application of Trichoderma decreased the disease infestation and the best result (1.60%) recorded in T2. Therefore, 108spores/ml of Trichoderma application can be considered the potential bio-stimulator for prospective potato production with higher growth, yield and suppress of disease.

BackgroundPeriprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) is a serious complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the risk factors of PFF in the early postoperative setting are not well documented. This study determines the risk factors of early PFF after primary TKA.MethodsThis study recruited 24 patients who had early PFF within postoperative 3 months and 96 control patients. Demographic data (age, gender, weight, height, body mass index, Deyo-Charlson comorbidity index, diagnosis, operated side, underlying diseases and history of steroid usage intraoperative outcomes), intraoperative outcomes (operative time, surgical approach, type and brand of the prosthesis), and radiographic outcomes (distal femoral width; DFW, prosthesis-distal femoral width ratio; PDFW ratio, anatomical lateral distal femoral angle; LDFA, femoral component flexion angle; FCFA and anterior femoral notching; AFN) were recorded and compared between groups. Details of PFF, including fracture pattern, preoperative deformity, and time to PFF were also documented.ResultsIn univariate analysis, the PFF group had significantly older, right side injury, rheumatoid, dyslipidemia, Parkinson patients than the control group (p < 0.05). No cruciate-retaining design was used in PFF group (p = 0.004). Differences between the prosthetic brand used were found in this study (p = 0.046). For radiographic outcomes, PFF group had significantly lower DFW but higher PDFW ratio and LDFA than the control group (p < 0.05). While FCFA and AFN were similar between groups. The fracture patterns were medial condylar (45.8%), lateral condylar (25.0%) and supracondylar fracture (29.2%). The mean overall time to PFF was 37.2 ± 20.6 days (range 8 – 87 days). Preoperative deformity was significantly different among the three patterns (p < 0.05). When analyzed using the logistic regression model, age and dyslipidemia were only two independent risk factors for early PFF. The cut-off point of age was > = 75 years, with a sensitivity of 75.0% and specificity of 78.1%. The odds ratio of dyslipidemia was 6.63 (95% confidence interval, 1.11 to 39.8).ConclusionThis study determined that age and dyslipidemia were the independent risk factors for early PFF. However, further well-controlled studies with a larger sample size were needed to address this issue.

Published: May 2021

Background: Presacral tumors, also known as retrorectal tumors, locate in the presacral space and are clinically rare and the approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of presacral tumors are still deficient. The four accepted surgical approaches for presacral tumors include transabdominal approach, sacrococcygeal approach, perineal approach, and combined approach. This study aims to evaluate the treatment efficacy of transparasacral approach for presacral tumors.Methods: 23 patients (7 males and 16 females) who are diagnosed with presacral tumors and receive surgery in transsacral approach at our department were chosen. The gender, age, body mass index (BMI), and clinical symptoms were recorded. The clinical data, postoperative complications, and short and long-term rehabilitation data were recorded and analyzed. Conclusions: The surgery was performed smoothly and the patients recovered well without signs of intestinal fistula, abdominal and pelvic infection, lung infection, organ dysfunction, or organ failure. The incision edema occurred in only one patient. In terms of the histopathological types, presacral tumors can be classified into tailgut cyst (n=10), epidermoid cyst (n=5), teratoma (n=3), and lipoma (n=10). One patient diagnosed with tailgut cyst was accompanied by adenocarcinoma transition. Tumor recurrence didn’t occur in any patients. In addition, no patients complained about dysuria, sacrococcygeal sensory disturbance, or sacrococcygeal and perineal discomfort. Surgical resection with transparasacral approach is effective for the treatment of presacral tumors with the advantages of high safety, good treatment efficacy, few complications, good oncological prognosis, and fast recovery.

Background: Studies of the microbiomes on surfaces in built environment have largely focused on indoor spaces, while outdoor spaces have received far less attention. Piers are engineered infrastructures commonly found in coastal areas, and due to their unique locations at the interface between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, pier surfaces are likely to harbor interesting microbiology. In this study, the microbiomes on the metal and concrete surfaces at nine piers located along the coastline of Hong Kong were investigated by metagenomic sequencing. The roles played by different factors in shaping the taxonomic composition and functional traits of the pier surface microbiomes were determined. Metagenome-assembled genomes were reconstructed and their putative biosynthetic gene clusters were characterized in detail.Results: Surface material was found to be the strongest factor in structuring the taxonomic and functional compositions of the pier surface microbiomes. Corrosion-related bacteria were significantly enriched on metal surfaces, consistent with the pitting corrosion observed. The differential enrichment of taxa mediating biodegradation suggests differences between the metal and concrete surfaces in terms of specific xenobiotics being potentially degraded. Genome-centric analysis detected the presence of many novel species, with the majority of them belonging to the phylum Proteobacteria. Genomic characterization showed that the potential metabolic functions and secondary biosynthetic capacity were largely governed by taxonomy, rather than surface attributes and geography. Conclusions: Pier surfaces are a rich reservoir of abundant novel bacterial species. Members of the surface microbial communities use different mechanisms to counter the stresses under oligotrophic conditions. A better understanding of the outdoor surface microbiomes located in different environments should enhance the ability to maintain outdoor surfaces of infrastructures.
Estimating the Production Losses Due to Cystic Echinococcosis in Water Buffaloes (Bubalus Bubalis) in Turkey
Authors: sarıözkan savaş , Küçükoflaz Mehmet
Published: May 2021

Cystic echinococcosis (CE), is a neglected zoonotic parasitic disease among livestock diseases, that causes low productivity (meat, milk, fecundity), profitability and significant economic losses in water buffalo farms and serious public health problem all over the world. This study aimed at estimating the direct (condemned offal) and indirect (meat, milk, and fecundity losses) production losses due to cystic echinococcosis (CE) in water buffaloes in Turkey. A spreadsheet loss model was constructed, and the mean prevalence rate of CE was accepted as 16.4% (3.8% in males and 21.7% in females) in water buffaloes in Turkey. The annual financial losses were estimated with official and previously published data under expected (mean value), optimistic (lowered by 10%), and pessimistic (increased by 10%) scenarios with the prices current in 2020. The production losses in an infected male and female water buffalo were estimated at $54.3 and 105.3, respectively. The nation-wide losses due to CE were estimated at $1.7 million (1.4-2.1) for water buffaloes annually. In conclusion, farmers, policymakers, and the public need to be informed about the risks and financial impact of CE, and control/eradication programs should be included in policies of government at the national level after a cost/benefit analysis.

Published: May 2021

Effective and reliable assessment approaches to computational thinking in secondary education are in demand. This paper uses a guided technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framework, incorporating a visual execution environment (VEE) and Scratch project for secondary school students as a method to teach and assess computational thinking. The objective is to investigate if computational thinking and programming concepts can be improved upon following this method, and if the K-12 children are able to improve their computational thinking skills. The research study was conducted over 2 years in a school setting using the guided VEE and project developed following the dimensions of Computational Thinking process. The project participants came from two cohorts, an after-school programming camp and an in-school environment. Data was collected over two academic years and a quasi-experimental procedure with pre- and post-test was followed. The results demonstrate knowledge gain on computational and programming concepts and encourages us to convey how students translate (as opposed to transfer) their computational thinking experiences into reality. The results indicate the students achieved significant improvement in their computational thinking development.
Potential of Deep Learning in drought assessment by extracting information from hydrometeorological precursors

Published: May 2021

This study explores the potential of the Deep Learning (DL) approach to develop a model for basin-scale drought assessment using information from a set of primary hydrometeorological precursors, namely air temperature, surface pressure, wind speed, relative humidity, evaporation, soil moisture and geopotential height. The novelty of the study lies in extracting the information from the hydrometeorological precursors through the efficacy of the DL algorithm, based on a one-dimensional convolutional neural network. Drought-prone regions, from where our study basins are selected, often suffer from the vagaries of rainfall that leads to drought-like situations. It is established that the proposed DL-based model is able to capture the underlying complex relationship between rainfall and the set of aforementioned hydrometeorological variables and, subsequently, shows its promise for the basin-scale meteorological drought assessment as revealed through different performance metrics and skill scores. The accuracy of simulating the correct drought category, among the seven categories, is also high (>70%). Moreover, in general, the skill of any climate model is much higher for the primary meteorological variables as compared with other secondary or tertiary variables/phenomena, like droughts. Thus, the novelty of the proposed DL-based model also lies in the improved assessment of ensuing basin-scale meteorological droughts using the projected meteorological precursors and may lead to new research directions.
Pojednanie w rodzinie na podstawie "Pasterza" Hermasa
Authors: Strękowski Stanisław
Published: May 2021

W literaturze starochrześcijańskiej jednym z niezwykle oryginalnych, interesujących i ważnych dla duchowości małżeństwa i rodziny utworów jest "Pasterz" Hermasa, powstały w Rzymie w połowie II wieku. Stylem nawiązuje do apokaliptyki rozpowszechnionej w środowiskach judaistycznych i judeochrześcijańskich od II wieku przed Chrystusem do II wieku po Chrystusie. Pouczenia zawarte w utworze są sformułowane w perspektywie ascezy eschatologicznej, charakterystycznej nie tylko dla wszystkich pism ojców apostolskich, lecz także licznych utworów II-III wieku. W pouczeniach dotyczących życia małżeńskiego i rodzinnego, szczególnie w kwestii przebaczenia i pojednania w przypadku cudzołóstwa, Hermas w sposób oryginalny rozwija doktrynę Nowego Testamentu. Nakazuje bowiem pojednać się i przyjąć do domu skruszonego i nawróconego grzesznika, lecz nie czynić tego wiele razy. Ten pogląd Hermasa zdradza próbę znalezienia oryginalnego rozwiązania, albowiem nie znajduje solidnego oparcia w tekstach biblijnych, ponieważ według orędzia Chrystusa grzesznik otrzymuje przebaczenie nie jeden raz po chrzcie, lecz za każdym razem, gdy skruszony i nawrócony wyznaje swoje grzechy (1 J 1, 9). Tekst "Pasterza" jest niewątpliwie rozszerzeniem nauki moralnej o cudzołóstwie w małżeństwie, według której sankcje dotyczą obu stron, a nie tylko żony, jak zdawałoby się wynikać bezpośrednio z tekstu Mt 5, 27-32.
Sfery dialogu człowieka z otoczeniem
Authors: Zwoliński Andrzej
Published: May 2021

„Antroposfera” to termin zbudowany z dwóch greckich słów: „anthropos” – „człowiek” i „sphaire” – „piłka, kula, kula ziemska, kulista przestrzeń okalająca Ziemię”. Termin ten oznacza więc czas i miejsce wstępowania człowieka na Ziemi oraz całą jego działalność twórczą, wytwórczą i produkcyjną. Analiza współczesnej antroposfery wskazuje na jej „zagęszczenie”, ogromne stłoczenie, które polega na zniszczeniu hierarchii tradycyjnej struktury, tworzącej przestrzeń między grupami i jednostkami (efekt tzw. „demokratyzacji” życia) oraz dysproporcji między rozwojem populacji a ekonomicznymi i społecznymi podstawami jego istnienia. Jednym z ważnych procesów, który był przyczyną i zarazem jest efektem „zagęszczenia antroposfery”, jest zanik wydzielonych starannie w historii sfer intymności, prywatności i sfery publicznej, podporządkowanych regułom dystansu i relacji między jednostką a grupą. Granica między sferą prywatności a publiczną jest niezwykle delikatna i wymaga ciągłej troski, aby jej nie przekroczyć, burząc porządek budowany przez całe wieki kultury.
