Pheochromocytoma: A Great Simulator. Small Series of A Single Institution
Authors: Mintegui Gabriela , Sánchez Fernanda , Cristiani Andrea
Published: March 2023

Background: pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-secreting neuroendocrine tumor, with usual origin in the adrenal medulla. They are mostly diagnosed as adrenal incidentalomas in abdominal tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or by related symptoms, as the classic triad including headaches, profuse sweating, and palpitations. Although it is a rare cause of secondary hypertension, this occurs in a great proportion of patients and it is usually sustained and paroxysmal. The biochemical diagnosis requires the dosage of plasmatic and/or urinary metanephrines and once confirmed, an imaging study such as CT or MRI must be requested to determine its location. Pheochromocytoma usually has low metastatic potential; treatment is adrenalectomy, conventional or laparoscopic, and resection can be curative. The reason for presenting these cases is to show two forms of presentation of a rare disease, with normal or hypertension, even in large tumors. Cases: We present four cases of Pheochromocytoma, two of which were diagnosed due to secondary hypertension and two as adrenal incidentalomas. In two of them the concomitant diagnosis of panic attacks and anxiety attacks was made, which sometimes shares clinical symptoms with the clinical picture of catecholamine’s excess. A 31-year-old man presents who presented with resistant hypertension and paroxysmal adrenergic crisis. A 46-year-old woman who presented with hypertension difficult to treat and adrenal incidentaloma. A 35-year-old woman who had big adrenal incidentaloma and normal blood pressure. A 34-year-old woman developed panic attacks and was found an adrenal incidentaloma on CT without hypertension. Conclusion: pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor that can have variable clinical presentations, with low malignant potential in the majority of the cases, and its accurate treatment relays on the clinical suspicion of this entity.

Authors: Masegenya Stella , Mwila Prospery
Published: March 2023

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education supports, improves, and optimises the dissemination of knowledge. International studies have demonstrated that ICT can increase student learning and teaching techniques. This study assessed the usage of Information and Communication Technology in Record Keeping in public secondary schools in Ilemela Municipality, Tanzania. Specifically, the study sought to identify types and roles of ICT appliances in school record keeping in public secondary schools, and to describe the attitudes of members of school community towards the usage of ICT in school record keeping in public secondary schools. The study was guided by Diffusion of Innovation Theory and Adaptive Structuration Theory. It adopted a mixed research approach and a convergent parallel research design. The target population of the study was 1032 and sample size comprised 108 respondents, sampled through probability and non-probability techniques. Research instruments included questionnaires and interview guide. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used to analyse quantitative data and qualitative data respectively. The synthesis of the findings indicated that there is inadequate application of ICT in record keeping in public secondary schools because of the inadequacy of ICT facilities, lack of ICT trained personnel and insufficient funds required for overall maintenance and management of ICT related software. Furthermore, it was revealed that members of the school community have positive attitudes towards the use of ICT in record keeping in public secondary schools. The study concluded that ICT usage in record keeping is vital, it plays potential role in record keeping. Therefore, the government through the ministry responsible for education should provide public secondary schools with sufficient and modern ICT facilities that support/enhances the current practices in school administration and management

Authors: Shajer Shaikh, Kalika Bandamwar
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess digital eye strain (DES) with the help of the digital eye strain scoring index (DESSI) in the urban population.
 Methods: The subjects were carefully selected with no ocular or systemic problems that may alter the study results and prior written consent was obtained. This study is divided into two phases. Phase 1 consists of reliability testing with Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest reliability while phase 2 consists of validity testing with internal validity, sensitivity and specificity. In phase 1 there were two visits, a baseline visit and a retest visit with 24 hours gap. DESSI was implemented on both visits. Phase 2 had two visits on the same day called the pre-task visit and post-task visit separated by one-hour task performance. Pre and post-task assessments were compared for all variables in the DESSI. The smartphone addiction scale (SAS) assessment and disability index (DI) was correlated with the no. of hours of smartphone use. The sensitivity and specificity were also assessed.
 Results: In phase 1, Cronbach’s alpha value was 0.82 and the co-relation coefficient was found to be acceptable to excellent whereas, in phase 2, the paired sample t-test showed statistically significant differences for all the tests compared. The SAS and DI correlation with the no. of hours of smartphone use was found to be good. The sensitivity and specificity of DESSI were fair, scoring 51% and 53% respectively.
 Conclusion: The digital eye strain is a useful tool for clinicians who can accurately analyze digital eye strain with acceptable to excellent test–retest reliability, internal consistency, good validity, fair sensitivity, and specificity.

Authors: Hamdani Muchammad
Published: March 2023

Perencanaan pembangunan daerah merupakan suatu proses yang dilakukan untuk menentukan kebijakan daerah di masa mendatang, melalui rangkaian pilihan, yang melibatkan berbagai unsur pemangku kepentingan, guna pemanfaatan dan pengalokasian sumber daya yang dimiliki daerah pada jangka waktu tertentu. Sensus Penduduk 2010 mencatat bahwa terdapat 30 suku bangsa yang mendiami Provinsi Jambi, dengan 44% adalah Suku Asal Jambi. Suku Asal Jambi mencakup Suku Jambi, Kerinci, Suku Anak Dalam/Orang Rimbo, Batin/Orang Dalam, dan Kubu lalan. Penduduk selain sebagai objek dan subjek pembangunan dapat menjadi modal dasar dalam pembangunan namun juga dapat menjadi hambatan atau kendala dalam mencapai tujuan pembangunan. Hal ini akan terjadi apabila pertumbuhan penduduk tidak terkendali dan tidak diimbangi dengan pemenuhan kebutuhan seperti sandang, pangan, dan kebutuhan akan pendidikan serta kesehatan. Kondisi ketenagakerjaan Provinsi Jambi menunjukkan adanya kecenderungan menurun walau pun tidak signifikan. Tercatat sebanyak 1.765,75 ribu orang angkatan kerja, sedangkan orang yang bekerja sekitar 1.691,78 orang dan yang menganggur sebanyak 73,96 ribu orang. Hal ini menunjukkan angka pengangguran di Provinsi Jambi relatif rendah. Kondisi ketenagakerjaan yang baik, nampak dari tingkat pengangguran dan penduduk yang bekerja, tidak terlepas dari kinerja sektor-sektor perekonomian yang ada. Jumlah penduduk yang bekerja pada tiap sektor menunjukkan kemampuan sektor tersebut dalam penyerapan tenaga kerja. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dan pembahasan pada Provinsi Jambi tentang Pengaruh Angkatan Kerja terhadap Konsumsi Rumah Tangga, Periode2016-2020, dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa: 1.Angkatan Kerja memberkan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap Konsumsi Rumah Tangga, 2.Koefisien yang negatif menunjukkan bahwa perlu peran besar pemerintah untuk membuka lapangan kerja, agar daya serap angkatan kerja dapat semakin banyak.

Distribution Loss Analysis of NEA, Nepal
Authors: Laxaman Mandal  , Gajendra Sharma
Published: March 2023

Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) is facing the problems in supply chain of electricity that causes the loss of energy which results in loss of economy. NEA has planned to extend the distribution network throughout the country so that every household can have access of Electrical Energy (EE) by 2023. NEA is also working in the sector of maximizing the sales in order to increase its revenue. In order to achieve such goals NEA must enhance its distribution system infrastructure. In this article, distribution losses are to be analyzed for enhancing and upgradation of existing electrical network if any. Some of the electrical components that cause electrical loss in distribution sector are also to be analyzed. This helps on determination of causes of losses. As NEA is importing electrical energy from India, consumer’s sales energy should be analyzed. At present calibration of area specific electricity consumption pattern that too on Time of Day (TOD) basis is not possible. This research paper will determine the process that helps in identifying area specific consumption pattern thus aid operators in laying reliable supply chain infrastructure to meet the demand of electricity. Electrical loss to be minimized by enhancing distribution network as per consumer demand.
The Inverted Pyramid and its (Reading) Space/Place: A Comparative Study of "Leaving Lamu" by Lily Mabura (Kenya), "The Homecoming" by Milly Jafta (Namibia) and "Porcelain" by Henrietta Rose-Ines (South Africa)
Authors: Nodari Janice Inês , Stefani Mônica
Published: March 2023

This paper focuses on an important narratological aspect, the setting, as informed by the humanist geography and the distinguishing concepts of “place” and “space” championed by Tuan (2012, 2001). In order to explore such aspect, we chose three short stories written by African women writers that keep the African continent as the main setting: “Leaving Lamu”, by Lily Mabura (Kenya); “Porcelain”, by Henrietta Rose-Innes (South Africa), and “The Homecoming” by Milly Jafta (Namibia). In our analysis and comparison of the short stories, following the methodological procedure of close reading and highlighting the main aspects in regards to space/place and construction of the characters, we detail how the space described in each of the stories becomes a place to each of the protagonists (and how their movements connects to that), helping the postcolonial reader (Ashcroft et al., 2013) apprehend the landscape and understand the idiosyncrasies of a continent which is still seen as “exotic” by many, but whose subtleties, through the literary practice, become familiar, as they are, above all, humane

İşitme Kayıplı Ebeveynlerin Çocukları (CODA): Ebeveynleri ile Sözlü İletişim Yoksunluğunun Dil ve Sosyal-Duygusal Gelişime Etkisine Genel Bir Bakış
Authors: KARADEMİR Fatma , AYTEKİN Çiğdem
Published: March 2023

İnsan, sosyal bir varlıktır ve iletişim insan yaşamının vazgeçilmez bir ögesidir. Fakat işitme kayıplı ebeveynlerin çocukları (CODA; Children of Deaf Adults) ebeveynleriyle sözlü iletişimden yoksun kalmaktadırlar. Bu çevresel yoksunluk, CODA’ların farklı alanlardaki gelişimlerini farklı şekillerde etkileyebilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, işitme kayıplı ebeveynleri ile sözlü iletişim yoksunluğunun CODA’ların dil gelişimi ve sosyal-duygusal gelişim alanlarında gelişimleri üzerindeki etkilerini genel çerçevede ele almaktır. Çalışma, bu amaç doğrultusunda, ulusal ve uluslararası literatürde yer alan konu ile ilgili araştırmalarla da desteklenen bir derleme makale niteliğindedir. Bu çalışmada; kısıtlı sayıda araştırmanın yapıldığı bu konuya dikkat çekmek amaçlanarak, ebeveynlerle iletişimde yaşanan bu yoksunluğun bireyin dil gelişimi ve sosyal-duygusal gelişimine etkilerinin önemi üzerinde durulmuştur. Alan yazın gözden geçirildiğinde bu konuda çok kısıtlı sayıda araştırmaya ulaşılmıştır. Ulaşılan çalışmalar sonucunda, CODA’ların dil gelişimi alanında; yaşamın erken dönemlerinde ebeveynlerinden yeteri sesli uyaran alamadıkları ve çıkardıkları sesler için yeterli geri bildirim alamadıkları için dil gelişimi ve konuşma becerisi konusunda gecikmeler yaşayabildikleri, gerekli sözel girdi ve sosyal etkileşimin erken dönemlerde sağlanmasıyla bu gecikmelerin önlenebildiği görülmüştür. Sosyal-duygusal gelişimleri için ise, CODA’ların iki kültürlü bireyler sayılabilecekleri söylenebilmektedir. Ayrıca; ebeveynlerinin işitme kaybı nedeniyle sosyalleşme ve akademik destek görme konularında sorunlarla karşılaşmaları, küçük yaşlarda yaşlarıyla uyumlu olmayan sorumluluklar almaları gibi olumsuzlukların söz konusu olduğu görülmüştür. Diğer yandan; bu sorumluluklar onların daha özgüvenli, problem çözme becerileri yüksek, olgun ve sorumluluk sahibi bireyler olmalarına katkı sunmaktadır. Bu çalışma sonuçları, CODA’ların ve ebeveynlerinin bu süreçlerde mutlaka gelişimsel desteğe ihtiyaç duyduklarını düşündürmektedir. Konuya ilişkin daha çok çalışma ve proje geliştirilmesinin ve bu çocukların desteklenmelerinin de oldukça önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Published: March 2023

Yalan, zamandan bağımsız olarak sosyal olarak uygun bulunmayan bir davranış olarak süregelmiştir. Aileler çocuklarını yalan söylemenin yanlış olduğu öğretisiyle büyütmektedirler. Hatta bu öğreti çocuk masallarında da büyük bir yer tutmaktadır. Buna rağmen yalanın sosyal yönden kabul gördüğü hatta teşvik edildiği türlerinin olduğu da bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada çocukların sosyal yönden kabul gören bu yalan türlerini (prososyal yalan) ne derecede uygun buldukları ile ebeveynlerinin tutumları ve ebeveynlerin benlik kurguları arasındaki bağlantılar incelenmiştir. Çalışmaya yaşları 9-13 arasında değişen toplam 129 çocuk ve anneleri dâhil edilmiştir. Ebeveyn tutumlarının ölçümünde “Anne-Babalık Stilleri ve Boyutları Ölçeği”, benlik kurgusunun ölçümünde “İlişkisel-Bireyci-Toplulukçu Benlik Ölçeği” ve çocukların prososyal yalanı uygun bulma düzeylerinin ölçümünde ise “Prososyal Yalanın Uygunluğu Testi – Çocuk Formu” kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçları demokratik ve otoriter ebeveyn tutumlarının çocukların prososyal yalanı uygun bulma düzeyleri üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadığını göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte ebeveynlerin izin verici tutumlarının artmasına bağlı olarak çocukların prososyal yalanın alt boyutu olan işbirlikçi yalanları uygun bulma düzeylerinin de arttığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Sonuçlar benlik kurgusu üzerinden değerlendirildiğinde, annelerin benlik kurgularının çocukların prososyal yalanı uygun bulma düzeylerini anlamlı olarak etkilemediği bulunmuştur.
DIFFERENCES IN DISPLAYING OF MOTOR ABILITY OF STRENGTH IN PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO ACTIVELY PLAY FOOTBALL AND THOSE WHO ARE NOT INVOLVED IN SPORTS ACTIVITIES
Authors: Pandur Jasmin , Popo Almir , Tojaga Amar
Published: March 2023

Man consists of different abilities and traits. The degree of development and the level of achievement, as well
as their mutual relationship, are different from person to person. Morphological characteristics are the
characteristics responsible for the dynamics of growth and development, as well as for the characteristics of the
body structure. Motor abilities are features that participate in solving motor tasks and that can be developed to
a greater extent. We will find out the difference in these abilities between students active in football and
physically inactive students through the results of this master's thesis. The goal of the research is to determine
the differences between students who are actively engaged in football and those students who are not active
in sports. The research was conducted on 52 subjects, students of an elementary school.

A DIDACTIC MODEL FOR THE PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT OF
SPORT
Authors: Schneider Sven
Published: March 2023

Due to its multifaceted effects, sport is referred to as a “polypill” and compared with pleiotropic drugs. This article
summarises the biopsychosocial effects of sport. Particular attention is given to the psychological and social effects of
physical activity on children and adolescents. Firstly, sport is defined according to its various forms of organisation
followed by a description of the individual effects on physical, psychological and social resources. These range from
motor performance abilities (conditioning and coordinative abilities) as well as from cognitive, emotional and
motivational aspects to social skills. Although sport – particularly regular physical exercise – can strengthen physical,
psychological and social resources, it is also true that non-physiological stresses, inadequate supervision and normative
structures still have the potential to induce harm at an individual level. Furthermore, socialisation and enculturation
processes relevant to children and adolescents are integrated in the model. The skills learned through sport, particularly
psychological and social skills, can thus become important in other areas of life too. The model proposed here can be
used in both university and non-university teaching as well as for planning specific studies and training approaches.

Published: March 2023

Empathy, the ability to understand other people, plays a key role in successfully supporting people with disabilities in their daily lives. Although in general most people are empathic, it is usually necessary to release empathy. This is most simply achieved by means of empathy tests that simulate different forms of disability and the difficulties that disabled people experience in their daily activities due to this impairment. The paper describes simple tests and their impact on changing attitudestowards people with disabilities and ways of supporting them.Key words:empathy, people with disabilities, support, education.

Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences between counselor supervisors’ and supervisees’ perceptions of the impact of multicultural supervision on client outcome. Counselor supervisors and supervisees may have differences in how much they believe multicultural factors affect client outcome and this study aimed to determine what differences exist. There were 61 participants in the study consisting of faculty, counselor supervisors, counselors, and graduate students in counseling-related fields. The current study found that multicultural supervision/competence alone predicted supervisor perceptions of client outcome. The findings suggest that training in supervision and multicultural supervision is vital to the professional development of counselors and trainees in counseling- related fields. This training is also necessary because of the impact it has on clients. The implications of this study highlight the need to improve the knowledge of those in counseling-related fields as to the importance of multicultural counseling and competence in training.

Diurnal differences in the effect of aerosols on cloud-to-ground lightning in the Sichuan Basin
Authors: Wang Haichao , Tan Yongbo , Shi Zheng , Yang Ning , Zheng Tianxue
Published: March 2023

Abstract. The effect of aerosols on lightning has been examined in
many studies, but its mechanisms are complex and far from understood. This
study investigated the influence of aerosols on cloud-to-ground (CG)
lightning during both afternoon (12:00–18:00 Beijing Time) and night
(23:00–05:00 Beijing Time) in the Sichuan Basin by analysing 9-year datasets
of CG lightning, aerosol loading, dynamic-thermodynamic, and cloud-related
data from ground-based measurements, satellite, and model reanalysis to
understand the difference in the influences of aerosols under conditions
with and without solar radiation. The relationship between lightning and aerosol optical depth (AOD)
is nonlinear in the afternoon and at night with a turning point at
AOD ≅ 0.3. When AOD is less than 0.3, increasing AOD will
lead to an increase in lightning flashes both in the afternoon and at night.
When the AOD exceeds 0.3, the increase of AOD will reduce the lightning
flashes in the afternoon but have no obvious effect on the lightning flashes
at night. The different relationship between aerosol loading and lightning
flashes in the afternoon and at night after AOD exceeds 0.3 is related to
the changes in solar radiation in these two periods. In the afternoon,
excessive aerosols reduce the solar radiation reaching the ground through
its direct and indirect radiative effects, resulting in the decrease of the
surface temperature, increasing atmospheric stability, inhibiting
convection, and thus reducing lightning. At night, due to the absence of
solar radiation, the influence of aerosols on surface temperature is
weakened; thus, the inhibition of aerosols on lightning activity is weakened.
Seamless mapping of long-term (2010–2020) daily global XCO2 and XCH4 from GOSAT, OCO-2, and CAMS-EGG4 with a spatiotemporally self-supervised fusion method
Authors: Wang Yuan , Yuan Qiangqiang , Li Tongwen , Yang Yuanjian , Zhou Siqin , Zhang Liangpei
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Precise and continuous monitoring on long-term carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) over the globe is of great importance, which can help study global warming and achieve the goal of carbon neutrality. Nevertheless, the available observations of CO2 and CH4 from satellites are generally sparse, and current fusion methods to reconstruct their long-term values on a global scale are few. To address this problem, we propose a novel spatiotemporally self-supervised fusion method to establish long-term daily seamless XCO2 and XCH4 products from 2010 to 2020 over the globe at grids of 0.25°. A total of three datasets are applied in our study, including GOSAT, OCO-2, and CAMS-EGG4. Attributed to the significant sparsity of data from GOSAT and OCO-2, the spatiotemporal Discrete Cosine Transform is considered for our fusion task. Validation results show that the proposed method achieves a satisfactory accuracy, with the σ (R2) of ~ 1.18 ppm (> 0.9) and 11.3 ppb (0.9) for XCO2 and XCH4 against TCCON measurements, respectively. Overall, the performance of fused results distinctly exceeds that of CAMS-EGG4, which is also superior or close to those of GOSAT and OCO-2. Especially, our fusion method can effectively correct the large biases in CAMS-EGG4 due to the issues from assimilation data, such as the unadjusted anthropogenic emission inventories for COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020. Moreover, the fused results present coincident spatial patterns with GOSAT and OCO-2, which accurately display the long-term and seasonal changes of globally distributed XCO2 and XCH4. The daily global seamless gridded (0.25°) XCO2 and XCH4 from 2010 to 2020 can be freely accessed at http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7388893 (Wang et al., 2022b).
HISDAC-ES: Historical Settlement Data Compilation for Spain (1900–2020)

Published: March 2023

Abstract. Multi-temporal measurements quantifying the changes to the Earth’s surface are critical for understanding many natural, anthropogenic, and social processes. Researchers typically use remotely sensed earth observation data to quantify and characterize such changes in land use and land cover (LULC). However, such data sources are limited in their availability prior to the 1980s. While an observational window of 40 to 50 years is sufficient to study most recent LULC changes, processes such as urbanization, land development, and the evolution of urban, and coupled nature-human systems often operate over longer time periods covering several decades or even centuries. Thus, to quantify and better understand such processes, alternative historical-geospatial data sources are required that extend farther back in time. However, such data are rare and processing is labor-intensive, often involving manual work. To overcome the resulting lack in quantitative knowledge of urban systems and the built environment prior to the 1980s, we leverage cadastral data with rich thematic property attribution, such as building usage and construction year. We scraped, harmonized, and processed over 12,000,000 building footprints including construction years to create a multi-faceted series of gridded surfaces, describing the evolution of human settlements in Spain from 1900 to 2020, at 100 m spatial and 5 years temporal resolution. These surfaces include measures of building density, built-up intensity, and built-up land use. We evaluated our data against a variety of data sources including remotely sensed human settlement data and land cover data, model-based historical land use depictions, as well as historical maps and historical aerial imagery, and find high levels of agreement. This new data product, the Historical Settlement Data Compilation for Spain (HISDAC-ES), is publicly available (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.22009643; Uhl et al., 2023a) and represents a rich source for quantitative, long-term analyses of the built environment and related processes over large spatial and temporal extents and at fine resolutions.

Published: March 2023

Abstract. This article describes the development of a monthly precipitation dataset for the Spanish mainland (western Mediterranean basin), covering the period between December 1915 and December 2020. The dataset combines ground observational data from the National Climate Data Bank (NCDB) of the Spanish national climate and weather service (AEMET) and new data rescued from meteorological yearbooks published prior to 1951 that was never incorporated into the NCDB. The yearbooks data represented a significant improvement of the dataset, as it almost doubled the number of weather stations available during the first decades of the 20th century, the period when the dataset was more scarce. The final dataset contains records from 11,312 stations, although the number of stations with data in a given month varies largely between 674 in 1939 and a maximum of 5,234 in 1975. Spatial interpolation was used on the resulting dataset to create monthly precipitation grids. The process involved a two-stage process: estimation of the probability of zero-precipitation (dry month), and estimation of precipitation magnitude. Interpolation was carried out using universal kriging, using anomalies (ratios with respect to the 1961–2000 monthly climatology) as dependent variable and several geographic variates as independent variables. Cross-validation results showed that the resulting grids are spatially and temporally unbiased, although the mean error and the variance deflation effect are highest during the first decades of the 20th century, when the observational dataset was more scarce. The dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.20350/digitalCSIC/15136 under an open license, and can be cited as Beguería et al. (2023).

Abstract. With the increasing growth of wind farm installations, the impact of wake effects from wind turbines on power output, structural loads, and revenue has become a major concern. Hence, there is a need for precise simulation tools to facilitate efficient and cost-effective design and operation of wind farms. To address this need, we present HAWC2Farm, a dynamic and versatile aeroelastic wind farm simulation methodology that combines state-of-the-art engineering models to accurately capture the complex physical phenomena in wind farms. HAWC2Farm models each turbine in a wind farm using the aeroelastic turbine simulator, HAWC2, while sharing a large, high-resolution turbulence box to model atmospheric flow field effects at the farm level, and a modified Dynamic Wake Meandering (DWM) model for capturing wake interactions. The method is computationally efficient and provides valuable insights for wind farm design. It is validated using time series field measurements from the Lillgrund wind farm, including scenarios with yaw steering and a turbine shutdown. HAWC2Farm addresses the challenges of modelling the complex dynamics in wind farms, enabling more accurate, informed and cost-effective design and operation.

Published: March 2023

The posterior wall of the orbit is composed by the sphenoid bone and exhibits the optic canal (OC) and the superior orbital fissure (SOF). The comprehensive knowledge of anatomical and morphometric observations of OC and SOF is vital for an accurate diagnosis and management of local pathology. The aim of this study was to conduct a morphometric analysis of the OC and the SOF in CT scans in a Brazilian population. A total of 40 computed tomography (CT) scans of dry human skulls were used (20 males and 20 females). The images were submitted to a segmentation in which the bony structures of interest in the orbit were selected. A three-dimensional reconstruction of the region and the measurements of the perimeter (mm) of the SOF and the volume (mm3) of the OC were performed. The statistical analysis was performed to verify if there was a difference in sex on each side for each anatomical structure. Regarding the OC, for the left side, there was a statistical difference between the sexes. For the SOF, neither the right side nor the left side showed statistical difference between the sexes. The present study showed new data about anatomical structures of the human orbit, bringing relevant knowledge for surgical and diagnostic procedures in the region. Especially for those anatomical structures evaluated that allow the passage of blood vessels and nerves, specific knowledge of their dimensions in different populations is valuable to avoid injuries during procedures in the orbital region.

Published: March 2023

Dried leaf powder of Richardia brasiliensis was extracted separately with ethanol and water using maceration method. Phytochemical components of the extracts were analyzed using standard conventional protocols and the extracts were serially diluted to get extract - water ratio of 0:1 (control), 1:2, 1:4, 1:6, and 1:8. Clinical strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Laboratory strains of Aspergillus niger and Penicillium notatum were tested against the extracts, using the paper disc diffusion method. Discs containing gentamycin (10 ?g/ml) and griseofulvin (10 ?g/ml) instead of plant extract served as positive controls, for bacteria and fungi, respectively, while discs with distilled water only, served as negative controls. Potato Dextrose Agar (for fungi) and Nutrient Agar (for bacteria) culture plates were incubated at 25 oC and 37 oC for 48 and 24 hours, respectively. Phytochemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins and terpenoids. Both ethanol and water extracts showed inhibitory activity against bacteria and fungi. The 1:2 dilution had the greatest effect (diameter = 22 mm for S. aureus and 21 mm for P. aeruginosa for ethanol extract while S. aureus had 12 mm and P. aeruginosa 15 mm. For A. niger, 15.6 mm (ethanol) and 13.5 mm (water) were recorded whereas P. notatum had 15 mm (ethanol) and 13.1 mm (water). The 1:8 dilution produced the least effect in both bacteria and fungi. Results for control (gentamycin) compared well (no significant difference) with those for ethanol extract treatments at the 1:2 dilution (P = 0.05). Griseofulvin gave values that were not significantly different from results of ethanol extract treatments at 1:2 dilution.

Published: March 2023

Urena lobata is used to treat many diseases in Nigeria, including diabetes mellitus. Our studies have shown its hypoglycaemic and anti-diabetic effects in normal rabbits and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats respectively. This study was designed to assess the long-term (24 weeks) effects of U. lobata administration (200 mg/kg body weight) on haematological status of normal rabbits. U. lobata treatment significantly (p<0.05) increased red blood cell (RBC) count, haemoglobin (Hb) concentration and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), as well as platelet counts, of normal rabbits. White blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts were transiently significantly (p<0.05) altered. Extract administration did not affect monocyte, basophil and eosinophil counts. Though our findings imply that U. lobata administration fleetingly stimulated an immune response, it did not adversely alter the haematological status of normal rabbits upon long-term administration; it even improved the RBC indices of the rabbits.
