Authors: Lye Munn-Sann , Zarghami Mehran , Charati Jamshid Yazdani , Abdollahi Fatemeh
Published: September 2022

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of different types of intimate partner violence (IPV) experienced by married Iranian women and their impact on the growth and development of their children. Methods: For this descriptive-analytical study, we recruited the mothers of one-year-old children attending primary health centers in Gonbad-e-Kavoos city, Iran. The data was collected using a questionnaire comprising the World Health Organization Domestic Violence, Ages and Stages Questionnaire-12; and queries related to the participants’ socio-economic, obstetrics, demographic, and anthropometric characteristics. The body mass index z (BMI z) scores of the children were divided into five categories based on the World Health Organization’s classification: severely underweight (z < -3), underweight (-3 ≤ z < -2), normal (-2 ≤ z < 1), overweight (1 ≤ z ≤ 2), and obese (z > 2). The data were subjected to descriptive analysis, chi-square test, and regression. Results: A total of 596 of mother-child dyads were included in this study. The prevalence of psychological, physical, and sexual IPV was 29.5%, 7.4%, and 2.4%, respectively. Most children (91.7%) had normal weight while the rest were overweight or obese. Developmental problems were reported in 1.7% of children. The education level of the father was significantly related to IPV (p =0.001) while the type of his occupation was related to delay in child growth (p =0.020). There was no significant difference between BMI z-score and developmental disabilities in the children of women exposed and not exposed to any type of IPV. Conclusions: The prevalence of psychological IPV was high while those of physical and sexual IPV were low. The rates of poor child growth and development were also low. The father’s educational and socio-economic status influenced IPV and the children’s growth deficits.

Introduction

Bergamot and opuntia (prickly pear cladodes) standardized extracts have been demonstrated to have positive metabolic effects in preclinical and clinical models.

Material and methods

The aim of this study was to evaluate the metabolic effect of a combined nutraceutical containing 150 mg of Opuntia ficus Indica extract, 400 mg of plant sterols, 12.5 mg of thiamine, and 200 mg of Brumex® a phytocomplex from bergamot fruit (Citrus bergamia Risso et Poiteau, fructus) standardized 40% in total flavonoids and min 5% in 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-flavanones. Thus, we carried out a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial on 75 hypercholesterolaemic subjects randomized to take the active compound (2 tablets per day), placebo (2 tablets per day), or both (1 per product per day).

Results

After 12 weeks of treatment with 1 tablet per day, we observed a significant reduction of a number of metabolic parameters: total cholesterol (TC) (–14.6%), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (–19.9%), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDLC) (–22.1%), triglycerides (TG) (–13.1%), Apolipoprotein B (–16%) (all p < 0.05 both versus baseline and versus placebo), fasting plasma glucose (–5.1%), glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (–7.8%), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (–7.3%), and -glutamyl transferase (–34.4%) (all p < 0.05 versus baseline). High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was increased 6.9% by the use of 1 tablet per day (p < 0.05 versus baseline). All parameters were reduced to the same extent when taking the full dose (2 tablets), beyond TG.

Conclusions

The tested nutraceutical compound based on a flavonoid complex from bergamot and opuntia showed a short-term positive impact on plasma lipids, fasting plasma glucose, and liver enzyme in overall healthy subjects affected by hypercholesterolaemia with low cardiovascular risk.

Authors: Zhai Rui , Ji Yingxiao , Liu Jihong , Chen Min , Cai Zhipeng , Li Litao
Published: September 2022

Introduction

Enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) are ubiquitous in the elderly and have insidious onset characteristics. Its correlation with clinical symptoms is easily overlooked and controversial. The related clinical symptoms that EPVS may cause were studied using Meta-analysis.

Material and methods

Relevant studies up to April 2022 were extracted from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, OVID, and Web of Science. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to estimate the strength of the correlation.

Results

Of the 6622 articles identified, 32 studies were eligible, enrolling a total of 19987 people. EPVS was associated with the risk of cognitive impairment (OR: 1.60, 95 % CI: 1.39- 1.81), motor impairment (OR: 2.24, 95 % CI: 1.22- 3.25), sleep disturbance (OR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.34-2.28), depressive symptoms (OR: 1.54, 95 % CI: 1.14- 1.95), but was not significantly associated with the occurrence of stroke ( OR: 0.97, 95 % CI: 0.74-1.21). Results of subgroup analysis showed that basal ganglia (BG) EPVS were more associated with cognitive impairment (OR: 2.19, 95% CI: 1.72- 2.65) and sleep disturbance(OR: 1.74, 95 % CI: 1.20- 2.29).

Conclusions

Our findings suggested that people with EPVS may be at a greater risk for cognitive impairment, motor impairment, sleep disturbance, and depressive symptoms. This will inform future treatments.

An investigation into the feasibility of using e-business to sell plant material to the South African nursery industry
Authors:   , Pollard Bryn
Published: September 2022

The South African nursery industry has faced many challenges over the last ten years. Excess in both demand and supply occur in any given year. The cost of maintaining a plant beyond its ideal ‘sell-by-date’ erodes profit and after time, results in complete wastage. The seedling nursery industry cannot afford to throw away large quantities of surplus seedlings or those that have become root-bound. The size of the wastage problem was unknown. It was believed that a website for trading surplus stock of seedlings might be the answer to the oversupply experienced by individual nurseries. The literature was consulted to establish what had made large companies successful. The advantages and disadvantages of E-business were investigated.

Published: September 2022

The development of learning requirements forms new trends that entail a change in some previously accepted areas of work with students. We can say that at the moment the field of education is maximally focused not only on the formation of various kinds of knowledge, skills and abilities among students, but also on their active practical consolidation. CQAES - (Committee for Quality Assurance in the field of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan) as the main standard that the general content of education should meet, it supports the timely and optimal application of a practice-oriented approach when teaching various disciplines. Within the framework of teaching engineering graphics, such an approach is also quite appropriate, its effectiveness has been tested in practice. This article will determine the role and main directions of using a practice-oriented approach to improve the success of teaching engineering graphics. The results of the experimental study reflect good indicators of the effectiveness of this pedagogical method.
Impact of negative and positive CO2 emissions on global warming metrics using an ensemble of Earth system model simulations
Authors: Vakilifard Negar , Williams Richard G. , Holden Philip B. , Turner Katherine , Edwards Neil R. , Beerling David J.
Published: September 2022

Abstract. The benefits of implementing negative emission technologies in the global
warming response to cumulative carbon emissions until the year 2420 are assessed
following the shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) 1-2.6, the sustainable
development scenario, with a comprehensive set of intermediate-complexity
Earth system model integrations. Model integrations include 86 different
model realisations covering a wide range of plausible climate states. The
global warming response is assessed in terms of two key climate metrics: the
effective transient climate response to cumulative CO2 emissions
(eTCRE), measuring the surface warming response to cumulative carbon
emissions and associated non-CO2 forcing, and the effective zero
emissions commitment (eZEC), measuring the extent of any continued warming
after net-zero CO2 emissions are reached. The transient climate response to cumulative CO2 emissions (TCRE) is estimated as 2.2 K EgC−1 (median value) with a 10 %–90 % range of 1.75 to 3.13 K EgC−1 in 2100, approximated from the eTCRE by removing the contribution of non-CO2 forcing. During the positive emission phase, the eTCRE decreases from 2.71 (2.0 to 3.65) to 2.61 (1.91 to 3.62) K EgC−1 due to a weakening in the dependence of radiative forcing on atmospheric carbon, which is partly opposed by an increasing fraction of the radiative forcing
warming the surface as the ocean stratifies. During the net negative and
zero emission phases, a progressive reduction in the eTCRE to 2.0 (1.39 to
2.96) K EgC−1 is driven by the reducing airborne fraction as atmospheric CO2 is drawn down mainly by the ocean. The model uncertainty in the slopes of
warming versus cumulative CO2 emissions varies from being controlled by
the radiative feedback parameter during positive emissions to being affected
by carbon-cycle parameters during net negative emissions, consistent with
the drivers of uncertainty diagnosed from the coefficient of variation of
the contributions in the eTCRE framework. The continued warming after
CO2 emissions cease and remain at zero gives a model mean eZEC of −0.03 K after 25 years, which decreases in time to −0.21 K at 90 years after emissions
cease. However, there is a spread in the ensemble with a temperature
overshoot occurring in 20 % of the ensemble members at 25 years after cessation of emissions. If net
negative emissions are included, there is a reduction in atmospheric
CO2 and there is a decrease in temperature overshoot so that the eZEC
is positive in only 5 % of the ensemble members. Hence, incorporating
negative emissions enhances the ability to meet climate targets and avoid
risk of continued warming after net zero is reached.
DeepISMNet: three-dimensional implicit structural modeling with convolutional neural network
Authors: Bi Zhengfa , Wu Xinming , Li Zhaoliang , Chang Dekuan , Yong Xueshan
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Implicit structural modeling using sparse and unevenly distributed data is essential for various scientific and societal purposes, ranging from natural source exploration to geological hazard forecasts. Most advanced implicit approaches formulate structural modeling as least squares minimization or spatial interpolation, using various mathematical methods to solve for a scalar field that optimally fits all the inputs under an assumption of smooth regularization. However, these approaches may not reasonably represent complex geometries and relationships of structures and may fail to fit a global structural trend when the known data are too sparse or unevenly distributed. Additionally, solving a large system of mathematical equations with iterative optimization solvers could be computationally expensive in 3-D. To deal with these issues, we propose an efficient deep learning method using a convolution neural network to create a full structural model from the sparse interpretations of stratigraphic interfaces and faults. The network is beneficial for the flexible incorporation of geological empirical knowledge when trained by numerous synthetic models with realistic structures that are automatically generated from a data simulation workflow. It also presents an impressive characteristic of integrating various types of geological constraints by optimally minimizing a hybrid loss function in training, thus opening new opportunities for further improving the structural modeling performance. Moreover, the deep neural network, after training, is highly efficient for the generation of structural models in many geological applications. The capacity of our approach for modeling complexly deformed structures is demonstrated by using both synthetic and field datasets in which the produced models can be geologically reasonable and structurally consistent with the inputs.

Abstract. Wind farm flow control (WFFC) is a topic of interest at several research institutes and industry and certification agencies worldwide. For reliable performance assessment of the technology, the efficiency and the capability of the models applied to WFFC should be carefully evaluated. To address that, the FarmConners consortium has launched a common benchmark for code comparison under controlled operation to demonstrate its potential benefits, such as increased power production. The benchmark builds on available data sets from previous field campaigns, wind tunnel experiments, and high-fidelity simulations. Within that database, four blind tests are defined and 13 participants in total have submitted results for the analysis of single and multiple wakes under WFFC. Here, we present Part I of the FarmConners benchmark results, focusing on the blind tests with large-scale rotors. The observations and/or the model outcomes are evaluated via direct power comparisons at the upstream and downstream turbine(s), as well as the power gain at the wind farm level under wake steering control strategy. Additionally, wake loss reduction is also analysed to support the power performance comparison, where relevant. The majority of the participating models show good agreement with the observations or the reference high-fidelity simulations, especially for lower degrees of upstream misalignment and narrow wake sector. However, the benchmark clearly highlights the importance of the calibration procedure for control-oriented models. The potential effects of limited controlled operation data in calibration are particularly visible via frequent model mismatch for highly deflected wakes, as well as the power loss at the controlled turbine(s). In addition to the flow modelling, the sensitivity of the predicted WFFC benefits to the turbine representation and the implementation of the controller is also underlined. The FarmConners benchmark is the first of its kind to bring a wide variety of data sets, control settings, and model complexities for the (initial) assessment of farm flow control benefits. It forms an important basis for more detailed benchmarks in the future with extended control objectives to assess the true value of WFFC.

Authors: Zahariev Alexander , Ignatov María , Pose Santiago , Ugon Gustavo A
Published: September 2022

The duodenal diverticulum is a common entity, being the second in frequency among digestive tract and mostly asymptomatic. It could be found during endoscopic or surgical procedures, making procedures on the biliary tract more difficult. The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of duodenal diverticula in cadaveric material and compare findings with the reviewed literature. An observational descriptive study was carried out. 70 in-situ and ex-situ duodenum-pancreatic blocks were dissected from human adult corpses previously fixed in formaldehyde solution. The presence of duodenal diverticula was studied by establishing its prevalence, number, location in relation to the duodenal parts and edges, and the relationship with the major duodenal papilla (MDP). Regarding the prevalence, 16 (22,8%) duodenal diverticula were found in the analysed cases. These predominated in the descending part of the duodenum (D2). All of them were unique and were located on the mesenteric edge. Regarding their relationship with MDP, there was a predominance of the intradiverticular papilla. The duodenal diverticulum is a frequent entity and the prevalence reported in literature is different within each type of study (cadaveric, ERCP and CT). Our results evidence the highest prevalence if compared to other cadaveric studies analysed. In our study, as well as in the reviewed literature, duodenal diverticula are mostly located in the D2, in relation to MDP

Published: September 2022

Active learning strategies were gradually implemented in the veterinary anatomy course at the University of Antioquia. In the cohort of the second semester of 2018, in the first module (musculoskeletal system), we used the traditional methodology (master classes both in theory and in practice), and active teaching strategies were used in the rest of the course. Faculty perceived some dissatisfaction among the students with this change. The objective of this work was to understand the perceptions of students and teachers about the traditional and active didactic strategies of the course, during this academic period through semi-structured interviews and focus group. The students perceived the combination of traditional learning strategies with active strategies as ideal. The traditional approach seems more comfortable to them, because the teacher provides all the information. However, they saw rote learning and the large amount of information as a disadvantage. They perceived that formative assessment allows for the consolidation of knowledge. The teachers highlighted the importance of using several methods that allow for adapting to the different learning styles of the students. In addition, they considered that their role is to guide students so that, through analysis, interpretation and research processes, they learn to build their knowledge. We conclude that students are highly dependent on traditional learning strategies, so it is necessary to stimulate the use of tools supported by constructivism. Also, more administrative support should be given for faculty to have the training and enough paid time for the preparation and application of active learning strategies.

Determinants of Willingness to Pay (WTP) for drinking water facilities help a lot in identifying price concerns and appropriate strategies for the facilities of drinking water to the households. The current study investigates the key determining factors of WTP for drinking water services and presents a logical setup that explains the significance of WTP determinants. We applied Contingent Valuation Approach (CVA) and analyzed the results through multinomial logistic regression. Findings disclosed that the income, education of the household head, highest education in the family, family size and residential area of the household significantly influence the WTP. It is suggested that education and awareness about water quality have to be disseminated among the households to increase their WTP for the drinking water services. The government should boost the income-generating programs to improve the financial status of the households to enhance their willingness to pay and purchasing power. Keywords: Drinking water, Contingent Valuation Approach (CVA), Determinants, Household, Willingness to Pay (WTP), Policy.

Bottom of Form Microparticulate drug delivery systems have shown a good interest within the pharmaceutical space. they permit the rise of drug therapeutic effectiveness and therefore the reduction of aspect effects. during this context, microsponges represent a brand new model of porous uu microspheres, which permit the defense of a good vary of active agents. Microsponge drug delivery system (MDS) was developed to deliver the pharmaceutical ingredients efficiently at the positioning of administration at a restricted dose. MDS is predicated on pore size of sponges. The action of microsponges lasts up to 12 hours. A microsponge's delivery system could be a extremely cross-linked, porous, chemical compound microsphere, chemical compound system consisting of porous microspheres that may entrap and unleash them into the skin over long amount. This delivery system provides extended release with reduced irritation, higher tolerance, improved thermal, physical and chemical stability. Microsponges area unit ready by many technique utilization emulsion system or by suspension chemical process into a liquid-liquid system. Microsponges will entrapped numerous style of drug and incorporated in formulation like cream, powder, gels, and lotions. Topical preparation have some disadvantages like unpleasant odour, oiliness and skin irritation and fail to achieve the circulation this drawback is overcome by microsponges delivery system.
The damage the Family Psilidae to agriculture (Insecta: Diptera)
Authors: Carlos Henrique Marchiori
Published: September 2022

Biology of the carrot fly Psila rosae (Fabricius, 1794) was described by the Danish zoologist Fabricius as early as the 18th century (Fabricius, 1794). The flies overwinter mainly as pupae in the soil near their host plants, in mild winters also as larvae in the host plant roots or in harvest residues. Depending on the temperature, the first generation of carrot flies hatches from mid/late April and reaches a peak in May. Little is known about the spread of adult flies and their migration to current carrot plots, but vegetation elements presumably play an important role in orientation and protection against dehydration. The aim of the mini review is to study on the biology, behavior and damage caused by the carrot fly (Diptera: Psilidae). The aim of this study is to report the characteristics of the Family Psilidae. For this, a bibliographic survey of Scoliidae was carried out in the years to 2022. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented in national and international scientific events were considered.

Published: September 2022

The world has experienced a decline in maternal and child mortality in the last few decades, increase in global health expenditure over the years was the major factor responsible for that. But in Africa and other developing countries, the rate of maternal and child mortality has been soaring. The objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of health expenditure on maternal and child mortality in African countries at different income level. On this note, the paper was based on the panel data covering the period of 2000 to 2017 for 39 African countries. After a cross sectional dependence test and panel unit root test, fixed effect results showed that, government health expenditure has no significant impact on reducing child mortality in African countries at all income level. Whereas, it has an impact on reducing the maternal mortality in low-income and lower middle income countries. It was also found that Private health expenditure has significant impact on reducing child and maternal mortality at all income level. Based on this, the paper recommends that governments at different level especially from low-income and lower middle income countries should provide quality health care services and regular immunization for women and children in order to reduce maternal and child mortality in Africa region.

The study aimed to determine the level of students’ awareness regarding intellectual property rights at one state university in the Philippines. This study used the descriptive research method, employing the online instrument distributed to the 506 students from different colleges. The study used a modified adapted survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics was used such percent, mean, frequency count, and inferential data using the Kruskal Wallis H-Test. The study revealed that the respondents were aware of the aspects of copyrights, patents, trademarks, industrial designs and geographical indications. However, the respondents were neither aware nor unaware on the aspects of the utility model. Moreover, the study revealed significant difference in the level of students’ awareness when grouped according to different IP rights. Therefore, full awareness on the intellectual property rights is vital as there are implications on the protected materials, works and inventions that may lead to infringement for its improper use. Hence, to maintain the level of awareness of students regarding intellectual property rights, it is recommended that the university adopt tactics and resources for wide dissemination, such as an intellectual property rights manual, to enhance the knowledge of its students.

The adoption, integration, and use of technology in the classroom should be planned by school leaders and teachers, who should also arm themselves with the newest technological developments. This study was designed to determine the impact of school heads’ technology leadership to teachers’ instructional innovation and academic optimism during the COVID-19 period. The study utilized a quantitative research design and a descriptive-correlational research method and was confined among 31 school heads and 651 teachers in Candelaria East and West Districts during the S.Y. 2021-2022. The survey-questionnaire, which was developed by the researcher and validated by research practitioners and experts, was the primary data gathering tool. From the findings, it was deduced that there is no significant difference between the perception of the elementary and secondary teachers on the school head’s technology leadership, teachers’ technological proficiency, and teachers’ academic optimism. It revealed that the social, legal, and ethical issues; and the leadership and vision significantly predict the teachers’ technological proficiency while the social, legal, and ethical issues; leadership and vision; productivity and professional practice and support; and management, operations, and finance significantly predict the teachers’ academic optimism. In light of the findings and conclusion, the study recommends that DepEd may include the nature and concept of digital citizenship in school management and leadership.

EVALUATION OF BACTERIA RESPONSIBLE FOR DECOLOURIZATION OF METHYLENE BLUE DYE IN SOIL
Authors: PAL POONAM , PATEL HARDIK
Published: September 2022

The discharge of textile effluents in open streams and land poses serious environmental problems. Even after physical and chemical treatment colour removal is not 100% achieved and hence it causes environmental pollution. The present study deals with examination and isolation of potential mycorrhizal soil bacteria responsible for decolorization of Methylene blue dye which is an azo dye. The results showed Bacillus haynesii strain NRRL B-41327 and Bacillus licheniformis strain DSM 13 were responsible for decolorization of Methylene blue dye in mycorrhizal soil. These gram positive, rod shaped bacteria in consortium exhibited 52.30 % colour removal efficiency. Potential of these bacteria can be further exploited for removal of residual dyes from textile effluents for restoration of ecosystem in an eco-friendly way which will be cost effective too.
