Protein intake, zinc intake, and zinc deficiency in underweight female students attending Islamic Boarding School in IndonesiaBackground: One of the nutritional issues in Indonesia is underweight. Groups of teenage girls tend to have underweight especially female students (santriwati) who live far from their parents. It happens due to a lack of macronutrients and micronutrients, zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency impacts are reproductive disorders, stunted growth, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Objective: Analyzing the differences in zinc levels, protein, and zinc intakes between female students with underweight and normal nutritional status. Methods: An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design in Askhabul Kahfi Islamic Boarding School with 24 underweight female students selected by consecutive sampling and 24 normal nutritional status female students were selected by matching techniques based on age. Data included nutritional status assessed by BMI for age z-score, protein and zinc intakes assessed by Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire, and zinc levels were tested using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The data analyses used Mann-Whitney test. Results: Underweight female students had lower average protein intake than normal nutritional status female students (52.20±25.06 and 75.52±23.19 grams) as well as zinc intake (4.63±1.22 and 7.51±1.94 grams). Protein and zinc intake were significantly different, but the two groups did not differ in zinc levels. All subjects had a normal zinc level of 100%. Conclusions: There was a difference in protein and zinc intake between underweight and normal nutritional female students (p<0.001), while the zinc levels were not found any differences (p=0.773).

Published: September 2022

Participatory mapping (PM) method has become an alternative in spatial data collection activities for various mapping activities, including updating data on Rural & Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2). From several experiences in PM application, various quality results have been found. Differences in the levels of spatial abilities of PM actors are assumed to affect the quality levels of PM results. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effects of spatial abilities on the quality of spatial data generated in PM activities. It consisted of several stages of preparing instruments for measuring spatial abilities, collecting spatial data through PM, and correlation analysis. The instrument used to measure the levels of spatial abilities of 28 subvillage chiefs was the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test. The quality of PBB-P2 spatial data in 28 subvillages was randomly selected and assessed in terms of position, area, and geometric accuracies with reference to the land registration map from National Land Agency. Results indicated a positive correlation between the visual spatial ability and the spatial data quality of the PM results with a value of r = 0.823. Our findings are expected to be used as references for parties who carry out PM activities to be able to plan such activities.

Published: September 2022

Mangrove forest is a very valuable forest, but despite its benefits mangrove forest continue to be degraded due to human activities. The purpose of this study was to map the distribution and to analyze mangrove forests’ health based on the NDVI vegetation index value and environmental quality. Distribution of mangrove forest health was obtained through the processing of sentinel 2-A satellite imagery in 2020 and field measurements. The environmental quality of the mangrove forest was obtained by processing the physical parameters which are water temperature, water salinity, water pH, and substrate texture using the Ordinary Kriging method. The health of the mangrove forest of Taman Hutan Raya Ngurah Rai is dominated by healthy category mangroves. The health of the mangrove forest worsens when closer to the shore and riverbanks. Mangrove vegetation with good conditions tends to have optimal environmental quality conditions and vice versa.

CHARACTERIZATION OF METEOROLOGICAL DROUGHT USING RAINFALL DEFICIT INDEX FOR EFFECTIVE CROP PRODUCTION IN YOLA SOUTH LGA, ADAMAWA STATE NIGERIA
Authors: AA SADIQ
Published: September 2022

The study aimed at characterization of meteorological drought using rainfall deficit index (RDI) for effective Crop Production in Yola South LGA, Adamawa State Nigeria. Rainfall data for the period of 50 years (1969–2018) were analyzed using RDI. The results revealed that the month of March, April, May, June, and October were characterized as severe drought episodes with <26% of mean rainfall in 34–50 years of the study period. The month of July experienced severe drought in 21 years and 16 years (33%) in September. August was characterized with normal rainfall in 17 years (34%) and no drought episodes occurred in 16 years (32%), respectively. The annual drought characterization shows that 39 years (78%) were classified with no drought where only 10% (5 years) were quantified as severe drought which mostly occurred in the first (1969–1978) and fourth (1999–2008) decades under the study. To realize effective crop production, farmers are, therefore, recommended to adjust the planting dates and also to adopt the use of early maturing crop varieties with low water use efficiency in the area.
IN SILICO ADME ANALYSIS AND MOLECULAR DOCKING APPLIED TO FLAVONOIDS TO FIND DRUG LEAD COMPOUNDS TARGETING DRD4
Authors: Garcia Mildred , Buwa Vaeeshnavi
Published: September 2022

Objective: The aim of this present study is to find flavonoids that can be potential drug lead compounds targeting the human D(4) Dopamine receptor (DRD4). Thirty-nine flavonoids were collected from the literature survey, and 23 of them were predicted by SwissTargetPrediction to have bioactivity toward DRD4.
Methods: ADME properties were evaluated, and molecular docking was executed. Among the flavonoids studied, Isovitexin, Glabridin, and Glabrone have shown better binding energy than the native ligand, Nemonapride. However, ADME analysis has demonstrated that Isovitexin has low GI absorption and is in the grey zone of the BOILED-egg. Glabridin is a BBB permeant but is a P-gp substrate. Glabrone has high GI absorption, and a P-gp non-substrate but not a BBB permeant.
Results and Conclusion: The experimental investigations and clinical evaluations are recommended to examine the mechanisms of their actions and other pharmacological effects and to validate the results of this in silico study. The scaffolds of these compounds can also be optimized to improve the few lapses and have better attributes as CNS drug lead candidates.
INSECURITY: A CAUSE AND A PRODUCT OF CONFLICT, TOWARD THE NEED FOR INDEPENDENT INDIGENOUS CSOS
Authors: GANI IBRAHIM JIBRIN , NINGI AISHA IBRAHIM , IBRAHIM ABBA BALA
Published: September 2022

This paper explores the question of human security in the North-East after more than a decade long conflict with the insurgents. The paper unraveled that communities and towns do not have to flee, even though successes were made mainly as most villages and homes. It also discovered that people are still suffering from the consequences of the conflict. If the inequities that gave rise to it are left unaddressed, there is the likelihood of a relapse into conflict. Therefore, it is recommended that the government improve its work to provide security for the people. The formation of independent indigenous civil society organizations is paramount to checkmate the activities of the government. The approach employed PLS-SEM and tested two hypotheses for clear prediction and assumption as met. The Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) can become important actors in reducing violence and facilitating the conditions necessary for building sustainable peace. However, such indigenous CSOs must shift focus and strengthen their abilities to mobilize expertise and resources from their domestic constituencies and reduce the excessive dependency on foreign donors. It must also reject any international support that resembles negative external imposition.

COMPARISON OF THE TEACHING CURRICULUM IN MATHEMATICS BETWEEN MONTENEGRO, SERBIA, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, AND CROATIA IN VII (VIII) GRADE OF PRIMARY SCHOOL
Authors: HASIĆ AMOR
Published: September 2022

The aim of this research is to compare the basic goals and tasks, learning outcomes, or contents/concepts, mathematical curriculum for VII (VIII) primary schools used in Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia. Mathematical curriculum for Montenegro of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia is relatively analyzed in the following research work: (a) Mathematical curriculum of Montenegro used for VIII grade of primary school, (b) mathematical curriculum of Serbia used for VII grade of primary school, (c) mathematical curriculum of Bosnia and Herzegovina used for VIII grade of primary school, and (d) mathematical curriculum of Croatia used for VII grade of primary school. I note that these countries were once part of Yugoslavia and that they are similar in many ways and have a similar mentality in many spheres of life, which is the case with education. Since they are related and linguistically, it is easiest to compare the above countries. Each country does its best to design a quality curriculum by comparing its curriculum with other countries which means that the goal is to get the best possible education system. Since I am from Montenegro, my main goal is to find the best possible education system for my country by comparing it with the countries of the former Yugoslavia. The result is clear and expressed in the paper, in short, I can say that the results show that we have a random curriculum and that the purpose is to improve it and integrate it into modern teaching and the application of what will create interest and desire to learn. The conclusion is that we need to work on education, the quality of the education system, teaching staff, and the use of teaching aids to include all aspects of life in the teaching process. From the above, I can say that this is a continuation of the already compared curricula for V (VI), VI (VII), where the introductory part and the concept of work are similar with minor changes, except for the part concerning comparison. This part of the paper is exclusively related to the mentioned class, that is, VII (VIII) primary schools. The collected data were relatively analyzed using document analysis as a qualitative method of analysis.
COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND DISTANCE LEARNING
Authors: HASIĆ AMOR
Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic is for the first time in 2020 in Wuhan Province, China. It later spread to other countries in the world. In early April, the school in 194 countries, from pre-school to higher education, is closed. Approximately 1.5 billion students are affected by this situation, and therefore their status as full-time students have ceased. All countries with the COVID-19 pandemic aimed to provide continuing education without break. Traditional educational techniques are significantly disrupted by social alienation and restriction policies. Many scientists have shared their work on teaching and learning in different ways after the outbreak of COVID-19. There is face-to-face teaching abolished in many schools, colleges, and universities. Our state of Montenegro, following the example other countries in the world, introduced distance learning. The purpose of this research is to: (1) Application of learning and teaching activities with the help of communication technologies in mathematics teaching. (2) Determine the efficiency of distance learning mathematics. (3) Students’ reaction and observation before and after the application of distance learning. (4) Support and implementation of recommendations by the Ministry of Education.
Bangime: secret language, language isolate, or language island? A computer‐assisted case study
Authors: Hantgan Abbie , List Johann‐Mattis
Published: September 2022

We report the results of a qualitative and quantitative lexical comparison between Bangime and neighboring languages. Our results indicate that the status of the language as an isolate remains viable, and that Bangime speakers have had different levels of language contact with other Malian populations at various points throughout their history. Bangime speakers, the Bangande, claim Dogon ancestry. The Bangande portray this connection to Dogon through the fact that the language has both recent borrowings from neighboring Dogon varieties and more rooted vocabulary from Dogon languages spoken to the east from whence the Bangande claim to have come. Evidence of multilayered long‐term contact is clear: lexical items have even permeated even core vocabulary. However, strikingly, the Bangande are seemingly unaware that their language is not intelligible with any Dogon variety. We hope that our fiindings will influence future studies on the reconstruction of the Dogon languages and other neighboring language varieties to shed light on the mysterious history of Bangime and its speakers.
A Study of Challenges and Techno-Economic Assessment of Biogas Plants
Authors: Atodaria Jaynil
Published: September 2022

Abstract: A promising sustainable method for generating energy from municipal, industrial, and animal wastes is biogas. The development of biogas can be combined with plans to enhance sanitation, lessen indoor air pollution, and cut greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to providing a techno-economic feasibility analysis of biogas plants, this research intends to identify technical and non-technological constraints preventing the widespread use of biogas in India. Different waste, renewable energy, and urban regulations have an impact on the distribution of biogas. Therefore, specific obstacles to India's current rural and urban biogas systems were identified. The findings demonstrate that there are significant differences in the nature and significance of obstacles amongst biogas systems due to variations in technological maturity, feedstock quality and availability, supply chain, awareness level, and policy support. The developed excel model also provides a full perspective of the economic factors used to assess the viability of a biogas plant project. Users may assess numerous situations and decide on the best course of action for their investment in the biogas sector by using a comparison and analysis technique.

Published: September 2022

Abstract: In the 21st century, everywhere people are in a hurry. Jet-powered aircraft send their human cargo across broad continents and vast oceans so that one could achieve his goal and fulfill their desire. But in a fast-paced life, the lifestyle is far from what the natural anatomy and physiology of the human body permit. Irregular and unnatural food habits, suppression of natural urges, lack of proper sleep, etc. are the inseparable parts of daily routine that enervate the body arising in times of crisis. According to Ayurveda Swasthya (health) does not only mean physical fitness but mental fitness as well. Ahara, Nidra, and Brahmacharya are three sub pillars that support the main pillar, the body itself. Ayurveda very frankly gives potential stress on Food, Sleep, and Abstinence to be used Uktivat (planned manner). This facilitates a person with benefits of life endowed with strength, complexion, and full life span, provided He / She does not indulge in Ahita Ahara and Vihar and maintains rules prescribed for that. “Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our body together” Sleep is a way to nourish our body, mind, and spirit. It is an important component of good health and peace of mind. Getting sound sleep each night imparts physical and mental balance to prepare our body and mind for the next day. Ayurveda views restful sleep as important as diet and also an essential pillar of good health. Sleep is nothing but a temporary loss of contact with Gyanendriya and Karmendriya Nidra plays a decisive role in the development, sustenance, reproduction, and termination of life. Most of the diseases are mainly due to improper Nidra. None of the existing systems of medicine is the complete answer for all health.

Published: September 2022

Abstract: This study presents the evaluation of the feasibility of the use of Bamboo as reinforcement material. Here Bamboo was used as a reinforcing material. Now a day’s concrete is used as the basic materials for construction works. Concrete is good in compression but weak in tensile strength. So, steel is used as reinforcement in the concrete to achieve the tensile strength. Problems encountered with the use of steel are high in cost, corrosion, etc. The main obstacle for the application of Bamboo as a reinforcement is the lack of sufficient information about its interaction with concrete strength and durability.

“Love for the Fatherland” and civil Identity in the discourse of Latin and Greek inscriptions
Authors: Makhlaiuk Alexander Valentinovich
Published: September 2022

Based on Greek and Latin epigraphy, the article examines the main features of civil ideology associated with the concept of “love of the fatherland” ( philopatria , amor patriae and their derivatives). The corresponding categories, often emotionally colored, were widely used to characterize the virtues and behavioral motives of urban elites who acted as euergetai . The lexical and contextual analysis of the inscriptions shows that the civic patriotism of the Greek cities coexisted quite well with the political loyalty to the Roman authorities and ruling emperors. In both Greek and Latin inscriptions, there is an explicit or implicit imperial context. In the former, it is especially emphasized by title names indicating “love” for emperors and Rome (φιλόκαισαρ, φιλοσέβαστος, φιλορώμαιος). In the western provinces and Italy, there was obviously no particular need for such direct references. It is reasonable to believe that there, in urban communities consisting of Roman citizens, a sense of belonging to two homelands, as Cicero defined them, remained: Rome as communis patria / patria civitatis (iuris) and the fatherland by nature and locality ( patria naturae / loci patria ). In other aspects, however, a comparison of the discourses of Greek and Latin inscriptions reveals direct parallels and coincidences in the basic value orientations, due to the remaining civil-communal (polis) character of the cities of the Roman Empire.
Sculptural Display of the Smintheion in Troas: visual rhetoric in the context of a Hellenistic sanctuary
Authors: Nalimova Nadezhda Anatol'evna
Published: September 2022

The temple of Apollo Smintheus near the village of Gülpınar (north-western Turkey, Troas) is undoubtedly among the most important monuments of the Hellenistic Age. The latest publications on the temple and sanctuary complex allow a more accurate and precise assessment of this remarkable building. Apollo bearing the epithet “Smintheus” (“Lord of mice”) appears in the opening lines of the Iliad and the very place of action is localized in the vicinity of Chrysa - an ancient town found near modern Göztepe, not far from Smintheion. These “Homeric” associations are reflected in the sculptural decoration of the temple: its frieze depicts scenes from the Iliad and later epic poems. Such a representation of the Trojan cycle, as a continuous narrative with direct reference to Homer and post-Homeric texts, has no precedent in earlier temple sculptures. In addition to the continuous frieze in the entablature, the sculptural decoration of the temple included columnae caelatae of two types - ornamental and figurative ones. Being placed on the top of the columns they formed a single semantic and visual unit with the frieze. In the present article the reach sculptural display of the temple is carefully analyzed. The author demonstrates the way in which various visual languages - narrative, associative, and symbolic - were involved in the mechanisms of creating memory, maintaining the aristocratic ideology and specific aspects of the local cult.
Projections of moisture conditions in the Sevastopol region for grapes growing
Authors: Vyshkvarkova Elena V. , Rybalko Evgeniy A. , Marchukova Olesia V. , Baranova Natalia V.
Published: September 2022

The climatic and orographic features of the Sevastopol region are the basis for the development of viticulture, winemaking and obtaining a wide range of high-quality wines. Viticulture is a specialization of agriculture in the Sevastopol region. Observed and predicted climate changes lead to a shift in favorable zones for growing grapes. The amount of precipitation is a key parameter, along with air temperature, for obtaining high quality grapes, and later wine. The water requirements of grapes vary with the season and phase of plant development. The article assesses the possible changes in the conditions of moisture conditions in the Sevastopol region for the grapes growing. The work uses data from numerical calculations of global climate models of the CMIP6 project under an unfavorable scenario of greenhouse gas concentrations SSP5-8.5. The assessment was carried out using two agroclimatic indices - the Selyaninov hydrothermal coefficient and the dryness index, by the middle and end of the 21st century. According to the predicted values of agroclimatic indices, by the middle and the end of the century, the Sevastopol region will remain in the zone where the cultivation of grapes will be possible without irrigation. The results obtained showed the likelihood of an increase in the aridity of the region in future periods, especially towards the end of the century, which will entail additional stress for the grapes. Adaptation measures such as selection of drought-tolerant grape varieties, changes in tillage systems, and placement of vineyards on northern slopes will be required to minimize unfavorable conditions.
Articulation: Individuals to Collectives
Authors: Peterson II Victor
Published: September 2022

his work illustrates the inner workings of a model set forth by Stuart Hall that analyzes how social formations emerge, interact, evolve, and dissolve over time. It treats social-cultural and political movements as complex adaptive systems and utilizes information theory to treat these conceptual entities as physical systems. In so doing, Articulation theory shows how relations of subordination and dominance emerge and provides a solution to how individual acts may harbor non-local effects on and within social formations.

This article tells the story of a teacher creating a dance based on a traditional folk song that has been sung for generations. Since most Philippine folk dances have been studied and created based on the culture of a particular group of people, this study contributes to its wide array of already existing ones. The researcher made use of mimicking a bird which is the theme of the folk song. This included the movements of the bird when it stretches, flies with other birds, its courting movements and how it moves or hops about. These traits are personified in the humorous or playful character of the Waray people. Since studying Philippine folk dance is part of the school curriculum, it is imperative that instructional materials be developed to make the delivery of instructions more meaningful, enjoyable and rewarding with the use of existing materials which are already familiar to students such as folk songs. Using the cultural study as its design, the study explores a new dance based on the Tikbubulan folksong. Basic movements and steps were taken from the dance steps introduced by Francisca Reyes Aquino. Other dance steps were created through the creativity of the choreographer so as to show clearly the characteristics of the Tikbubulan bird and how people mimic it. Despite the cultural influence of other countries, education has a role to play in the preservation of Philippine culture which gives identity to its people and is different from that of other countries around the world.
Genomic health is dependent on long-term population demographic history

Current genetic methods of population assessment in conservation biology
have been challenged by genome-scale analyses due to their
quantitatively novel insights. These analyses include assessments of
runs-of-homozygosity (ROH), genomic evolutionary rate profiling (GERP),
and mutational load. Here, we aim to elucidate the relationships between
these measures using three divergent ungulates: the white-tailed deer,
caribou, and mountain goat. The white-tailed deer is currently
expanding, while caribou are in the midst of a significant decline.
Mountain goats remain stable, having suffered a large historical
bottleneck. We assessed genome-wide signatures of inbreeding using the
inbreeding coefficient F and %ROH (FROH) and identified evolutionarily
constrained regions with GERP. Mutational load was estimated by
identifying mutations in highly constrained elements (CEs) and sorting
intolerant from tolerant (SIFT) mutations. Our results show that F and
FROH are higher in mountain goats than in caribou and white-tailed deer.
Given the extended bottleneck and low Ne of the mountain goat, this
supports the idea that the genome-wide effects of demographic change
take time to accrue. Similarly, we found that mountain goats possess
more highly constrained CEs which are indicative of greater purifying
selection. This is reflected by fewer mutations in CEs and deleterious
mutations identified by SIFT. In contrast, white-tailed deer presented
the highest mutational load with both metrics, while caribou were
intermediate. Our results demonstrate that extended bottlenecks may lead
to reduced diversity and increased FROH in ungulates, but not
necessarily the accumulation of deleterious alleles, likely due to the
purging of deleterious alleles in small populations.
CMMSE: POWERS OF CATALAN GENERATING FUNCTIONS FOR BOUNDED OPERATORS
Authors: Sanz Pedro José Miana , Romero Natalia
Published: September 2022

In this paper we consider the Catalan triangle numbers ( B n , k ) n ≥ 1
, 1 ≤ k ≤ n and ( A n , k ) n ≥ 1 , 1 ≤ k ≤ n + 1 to define powers of
Catalan generating function C( T) where T is a
linear and bounded operator on a Banach space X. When the
operator 4 T is of power-bounded operator, the Catalan generating
function is given by the Taylor series C ( T ) : = ∑ n = 0 ∞ C n T n ,
where c = ( C n ) n ≥ 0 is the Catalan sequence. Note that the operator
C( T) is a solution of the quadratic equation T Y 2 − Y +
I = 0 . We obtain new formulae which involves Catalan triangle numbers (
B n , k ) n ≥ 1 , 1 ≤ k ≤ n and ( A n , k ) n ≥ 1 , 1 ≤ k ≤ n + 1 . As
element in the Banach algebra ℓ 1 ( N 0 , 1 4 n ) , we describe the
spectrum of c ∗ j for j≥1, and the expression of c −∗ j in terms
of Catalan polynomials. In the last section, we give some particular
examples to illustrate our results and some ideas to continue this
research in the future.

Introduction: It is rarely seen that neonates with congenital
lung mass presenting with respiratory distress require emergency
intervention. No consensus has been achieved concerning the best policy
facing such condition. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and
safety of our strategies in managing neonates with congenital lung mass
presenting with respiratory distress. Methods: We
retrospectively reviewed the data of five congenital lung mass (CLM)
neonates presenting with respiratory distress from April 2020 to April
2022 for whom different strategies were adopted and favorable outcomes
were obtained. The relevant data was reviewed and analyzed.
Results: All the patients were prenatally diagnosed with CLM,
and among them, four neonates with cystic lung masses accepted
percutaneous thoracic catheter drainage prior to surgery. The first
neonate with macrocystic lung mass experienced prompt open lobectomy due
to failure of drainage. The other three patients obtained good drainage
of the large air-filled cyst, thus gaining the opportunity for elective
thoracoscopic surgery in median 48 d. The fifth patient directly
underwent emergency surgery due to the solid nature of the lung lesion.
Conclusions: For neonates with cystic lung masses presenting
with respiratory distress due to mediastinal compression, percutaneous
thoracic catheter drainage and subsequent elective thoracoscopic surgery
were superior to emergency thoracotomy in terms of safety and
parenchyma-sparing surgery based on the study and literature. For those
with solid lung lesions whose CVR value is no less than 1.6, either EXIT
surgery or emergency thoracotomy is a reliable strategy depending on the
medical resources available.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of two different levels of
positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during helmet continuous
positive airway pressure (HCPAP) support on the intubation rate in
infants with bronchiolitis admitted to pediatric intensive care units
(PICUs). Design: Multicentric prospective, randomized, open
clinical trial. Setting: Four tertiary PICUs in Italy.
Participants: Infants admitted to PICUs due to severe
bronchiolitis and requiring respiratory support. Interventions:
The enrolled patients were randomly assigned one of two PEEP levels for
HCPAP support: high (P10 group: 10 cmH O) or low (P5
group: 5 cmH O). Measurements and Main
Results: In total, 64 patients were randomly assigned to the P10 group,
and 60 to the P5 group. The intubation rate was 9/60 (15%) and 9/64
(14%) in P5 and P10 groups (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.36-2.46, p=0.99). Of the
patients in the P5 group, 47 (78%) were escalated to a PEEP level of 10
cmH O. PEEP level was not associated to intubation rate
(OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.19 to 2.40, p=0.57), after adjustment for age,
gestational age, high flow nasal cannula application, bronchiolitis
severity score and pediatric index of mortality 3. No cases of
pneumothorax were observed in this study. Conclusions: In this
trial on infants with severe bronchiolitis, a PEEP level of 10 cm H
O during HCPAP in comparison to an initial level of 5
cm H O did not show to prevent intubation. These
results are not conclusive due to the premature stopping.

Published: September 2022

Pediatric immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired disorder
associated with autoimmune destruction and impairment of platelet
production in children. Some children exhibit poor or transient response
to ITP-directed treatments and are referred to as having refractory ITP
(rITP). There is currently no consensus on the definition of rITP, nor
evidence-based treatment guidelines for patients with rITP. After a
survey of pediatric ITP experts demonstrated lack of consensus on
pediatric rITP, we pursued a systematic review to examine the reported
clinical phenotypes and treatment outcomes in pediatric rITP. The search
identified 253 relevant manuscripts; following review, 11 studies
proposed a definition for pediatric rITP with no consensus amongst them.
Most definitions included sub-optimal response to medical management,
while some outlined specific platelet thresholds to define this
sub-optimal response. Common attributes identified in this study should
be used to propose a comprehensive definition, which will facilitate
outcome comparisons of future rITP studies.

Decoupled spatiotemporal patterns of avian taxonomic and functional diversity
Authors: Jarzyna Marta , Stagge James
Published: September 2022

Each year, seasonal bird migration leads to an immense redistribution of
species occurrence and abundances, with pervasive, though unclear,
consequences for patterns of multi-faceted avian diversity. Here, we
uncover stark disparities in spatiotemporal variation between avian
taxonomic and functional diversity across the continental US. In the
eastern US, the temporal patterns of taxonomic and functional diversity
are diametrically opposed, with functional richness highest in winter
despite seasonal loss of species, and the remaining most abundant
species amassed in a few regions of the functional space that likely
reflect the resources available in winter. In contrast, in the western
US, both species and functional richness are high during the breeding
season, and species’ abundances are regularly distributed and widely
spread across the functional space. We anticipate that the uncovered
complexity of spatiotemporal associations among avian diversity measures
will be the catalyst for adopting an explicitly temporal framework for
multi-faceted biodiversity analysis.
9: Fundamentals of Medication Management for the Older Adult with Diabetes in Long-Term Care
Authors: Zettervall Donald
Published: September 2022

Management of diabetes in the elderly offers challenges far more complicated than simply keeping blood glucose levels within acceptable limits. Most seniors whether living at home, in assisted-living facilities (ALFs) or in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), usually will present with multiple health conditions requiring multifaceted drug therapies that not only are complicated in and of themselves but also are affected directly by the health of the residents, their other conditions, and therapies used to treat those conditions.
