A R package for quickly updating trend analysis: application to French streamflow time series.  
Authors: Mansanarez Valentin , Renard Benjamin , Lang Michel
Published: September 2022

This work presents trend analyses performed on time series. It follows the work done by Giuntoli et al. (2013) on trend analysis of low flows and their relationship with large-scale climate variability in France. A R package was implemented to allow the extraction of variables on time series and performing statistical trend analysis on the extracted variables. Detected trend can be summarised on maps. The methodology uses the Mann-Kendall statistical test to assess the significance of linear trend. Regional consistency can also be checked.

The methodology used was performed on 207 French daily streamflow over the period 1968-2020. Three period subsets are studied: 1968-2000, 1968-2010 and 1968-2020 to compare trend results and assess the variability over time.
Results confirm a North-South geographical split in temporal trends for droughts. They also show the increase of the severity of droughts over the last decades in Southern France.

Results also suggests a similar North-South geographical split for high and medium flows. They show that temporal trends are decreasing over the last decades in the Southern part of France for both high and medium flows. However, in the North part of France, results shows less significant trends in streamflow time series.

Statistical and hydraulic analysis of flood hazard in the Ahr valley, Germany considering historical floods
Authors: Vorogushyn Sergiy , Apel Heiko , Kemter Matthias , Thieken Annegret
Published: September 2022

The flood event in July 2021 caused more than 180 death tolls in Germany and several billion Euro damage. In particular, the Ahr valley was severely hit by the flood, which lead to unprecedented inundation, houses and bridge destruction. Flood response was based on the official flood hazard maps, which were designed in the course of the EU Flood Directive. We revisit flood hazard in the Ahr valley by considering historical flood events in the extreme value statistics. A state-of-the-art bootstrapping approach is applied to estimate flood quantiles considering uncertainties in estimating historical discharges. Inclusion of historical floods dramatically changes estimation of flood quantiles. Nevertheless, we observe significant deviations between empirical and theoretical flood distributions due to singular outstanding extremes and discuss the suitability of the GEV model. We further drive a 2D hydraulic model with the estimated quantiles to compute inundation areas, depths and flow velocities. Human stability indicator is additionally computed. We conclude that the consideration of historical events is paramount for assessing flood hazard. We recommend to revisit flood hazard maps and include historical floods either into extreme value statistics or as indication of potential extreme inundation.
Integrated chain for the hydrometeorological forecasting of low flows and droughts in France. The CIPRHES project
Authors: Perrin Charles ,   CIPRHES Team
Published: September 2022

There has been a growing interest in extending forecast lead times to facilitate water resources planning and management during droughts and low-flow events. This can be partly achieved by improving integrated hydrometeorological forecasting systems, which offer forecasts of future meteorological and hydrological conditions over continuous space and time scales. Several initiatives have been recently carried out at continental or global scales, in Europe and worldwide, to set up forecasting chains that run with numerical weather and climate model predictions as input to distributed hydrological models. Overall, these systems have been developed in response to a call for seamless forecasts in time (from short to medium and long-ranges) and space (at well-monitored and partially-monitored or ungauged catchments). These systems usually have to deal with limited calibration and evaluation against local data.

In France, the CIPRHES project (2021-2025) aims at building an efficient and integrated methodology and an online operational service for a country-wide hydrological drought and low-flow forecasting system, based on the proof-of-concept PREMHYCE platform. The first step focuses on producing seamless atmospheric forecasts, combining information from climatology, weather predictions and seasonal forecasts. Then forecasts are post-processed and tailored for hydrological purposes of drought and low-flow forecasting.

The first outcomes of the project will be presented, towards providing short- to long-term seamless hydrological forecasts. The outputs of a workshop organized with end-users to improve a forecasting prototype will be discussed.

The CIPRHES project is funded by the French National Research Agency (grant ANR-20-CE04-0009-03).
Monitoring of the wetland hydrology using remote sensing and historical data series: The case of Palos lagoon (Southwestern Spain) 
Authors: Contreras Eva , Pimentel Rafael , Aguilar Cristina , Aparicio Javier , Polo María José
Published: September 2022

The wetlands are essential for ecology and environmental regulation but also for the economy and social service functions. However, the natural hydrology of this kind of system is often modified by the agricultural drainage of the upstream areas. Remote sensing and GIS methods are currently emerging as an alternative to traditional methods like field survey (usually laborious, time consuming and expensive) to analyse the effects of the anthropogenic activities in the water bodies.

In this paper, the Palos lagoon (Southwest Spain), a Ramsar site whose surrounding lands have been intensively modified by petrochemical industry and greenhouse strawberry crops, was taken as a research object. The Global Surface Water (GSWE) online machine, combined with bathymetric and historical meteorological data, were used to spatially quantify water surface during the period 1984-2020. This allowed us, through a water balance approach on a monthly basis, the estimation of water inputs and outputs to analyse the hydrological changes in terms of seasonality and persistence.

The results show greater fluctuations with seasonal changes marked by the climatic regime during the first two decades of the study period. From 2000, linked to a large increase of the greenhouse strawberry crops, the surface water remained stable around 80% of the maximum lagoon extension, which allowed the use of the last twenty years to describe the current state in terms of water balance. On one hand, water inputs exceed outputs from October to March, raising the lagoon water level and increasing the water surface from 80 to 92% of the maximum extension (drying period). On the other hand, water outputs exceed inputs from April to June, when water surface changes from 85 to 76% (wetting period), a percentage which remains from July to September (balance period). This approach was verified with field measurements in the main control points.

This highlights that remote sensing products, combined with local information, can be used to successfully evaluate hydrological behaviour in those places where historical hydrological data series are not available. These kinds of methods and tools can provide the knowledge to support better informed water-management decision-making.
Ocean Heat Content in the Iberian-Biscay-Ireland regional seas
Authors: de Pascual-Collar Álvaro , Aznar Roland , Levier Bruno , García-Sotillo Marcos
Published: September 2022

Abstract. The ocean has the largest heat capacity of any single component of the climate system and plays a key dominant role in global heat content changes. Several recent studies have found that the Ocean Heat Content (OHC) has increased during the last decades, not only at a global scale, but also at regional/basin scales. To analyse OHC variability in the Iberia-Biscay-Ireland (IBI) region, several Copernicus Marine model and observed derived products are used together to provide multi-product estimations of OHC anomalies over the water column (at layers upper 150 m, 700 m, and 2000 m). This work provides an exhaustive analysis of spatial and temporal variability of OHC in the Northeast Atlantic region providing an analysis of area-averaged time series, trend maps, and trends linked with the main water masses found in the IBI region. The analysis of trends reveals that, despite a significant warming of the region in the period 1993–2020 (at rates of 0.4 W/m2), the thermohaline variability of subsurface water masses mainly dominates the OHC variability over the upper 2000 m. Additionally, vertical profiles of OHC trends are investigated, linking them with the vertical distribution of water masses; and describing how coupled inter-annual variability of Sub-Artic Intermediate Water, Mediterranean Outflow Water, and Labrador Sea Water accounts for an important part of the total OHC variability in the region.

Rectal progesterone in ART cycles as luteal phase support, is it efficient?
Authors:   Professor Ob/Gyn, Alexandria University, Egypt., Maghraby Hassan , Abdelbadie Amr S ,   Egyptian Foundation for Reproductive medicine and Embryology (EFRE), Egypt.
Published: September 2022

Assisted reproductive cycles have been associated with deficient luteal phase which was extensively researched. Progestogens can be given IM, SC, orally, rectally, transdermal or vaginally. Although progesterone supplementation represents the most preferable drugs for luteal phase support in fresh cycles, there is still debate which is the best time, dose and route for administration. Vaginal route is the most used in the luteal phase. Some of the clients who are using vaginal progesterone reports uncomfortable. We tried to review whether the rectal progesterone could be effective as luteal phase support and tolerable with less discomfort or not.

The use of 18F-2-Fluoro-2-Desoxy-D-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FDG-PET/CT) has become an integral part of patient management in many lymphoid malignancies. However, the diagnostic accuracy of FDG-PET/CT in some indolent lymphoid malignancies with commonly low FDG-avidity, including Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) can still be challenging in clinical routine [1-3,6,9]. CLL is defined as a low-grade proliferative B-cell proliferative disease often indolent, which can in about 5% of the cases turn into a more aggressive malignancy, most commonly into Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). This transformation is called Richter transformation, often detected too late and associated with a poor prognosis. Therefore, accurate imaging of CLL at an early stage could be useful for the management of the disease and improve patient’ssurvival [4,5,7,8,10].

Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of a new technique for pterygium surgery using a plasma-based method. Methods: A clinical case series study was carried out in 6 patients. Six eyes with grade 2 or 3 of primary pterygium were operated. The pterygium head was detached from the corneal surface. Then, the free conjunctival edges were attached near the limbus using the plasma spots [generated by Plexr device (GMV, Rocca Priora, RM, Italy)]. Refractive Error (RE), Visual Acuity (VA), Intraocular Pressure (IOP), Contrast Sensitivity (CS), Corneal Fluorescein Staining (CFS), Tear Meniscus Height (TMH), High Order Aberrations (HOA), and Ocular Surface Disorder Index (OSDI) were measured before the operation, one week after the operation, as well asone, three, and six months post-surgery. Slit-lamp images were taken before surgery and six months after that. Results: No intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed. Mild degrees of pain, tearing, foreign body sensation, and irritation was reported during the first week after surgery. No significant change was found in IOP, CS, and TMH parameters during the 6-month follow-up. A slight improvement was measured in CFS and HOA after surgery. Compare to before surgery, RE, VA, and OSDI improved after pterygium removal. The follow-up examinations revealed pterygium recurrence in 2 eyes. Conclusion: Our results showed that plasma-assisted noninvasive surgery can provide a simple, fast, and effective techniquefor pterygium removal with no suture or glue. Although, considering the two observed recurrences in this study, we decided to modify the surgical method in the subsequent studies. Keywords: pterygium; treatment; plasma; noninvasive surgery; case series.

Superior mesenteric artery thrombosis is a rare incident with high mortality rate. Herein we present the case of a 65-year-old woman of Spanish origin who attended the Emergency department two days after COVID-19 vaccination with symptoms and signs of mesenteric ischemia. She proved to suffer from thick intramural thrombosis in the central part of the superior mesenteric artery on a calcific atherosclerotic plaque that caused a significant degree of narrowing of the arterial lumen. COVID-19 vaccination is considered the most probable cause. To our knowledge, this is the first such case reported in Greece.

Neurofibromatosis causes various types of benign or malignant tumors of the central or peripheral nerves and often causes pigmented macules of the skin and sometimes other manifestations. We present a case of 29 years old patient diagnosed by neurofibromatosis manifested by breast lesion, at the beginning, the diagnosis was not clear, but after the anatomopalogist report von Recklinghausen disease was suspected and the patient was having all the criteria to confirm that. Recent scientific data support a possible association between breast cancer and NF1. It has been suggested that there may be genes that could interact with the NF1 gene, particularly in relation to the BRCA1 subset. They could share a common gene location (both NF1 and BRCA1 are on human chromosome 17q). Multiple cutaneous lesions in NF-1 may obscure breast lumps leading to delayed detection of cancer. Early onset, aggressive behavior and different natural history of these tumors require a specific approach to their detection and management.

PERAN BUDAYA ORGANISASI DALAM MENINGKATKAN RETENSI KARYAWAN
Authors: Wijaya Shierli
Published: September 2022

The study of organizational culture is interesting because it deals with the uniqueness, the characteristics that distinguish one organization from another. Organizational culture is a system of shared meaning held by members that distinguishes an organization from other organizations. This system of shared meaning is a set of key characteristics that organizations uphold. Organizational culture is created by the "founder" i.e. people who have already been in the organization, where the culture becomes a tradition, an inherent habit, which is embraced by members of the organization. Culture relates to something of positive value, which is unique which is the character of an organization. As well as the pattern of leadership, administrative neatness, discipline, reward system, authority system, and many more cultures adopted by the organization. Therefore, organizational culture should make a positive contribution to organizational development, especially in increasing employee retention in an organization as well as individuals and teams within the organization

Background

Total joint replacements are some of the most common procedures performed by surgeons. There has been a recent increase to transition these procedures to the outpatient setting.

Objective

Our study seeks to identify the most influential publications, in terms of total citations, regarding outpatient total hip and knee replacement surgeries.

Methods

The database used to collect the data for this analysis was Clarivate Analytics Web of Science. The search query selected and used to collect data was: “outpatient or ambulatory,” with a “Title” filter AND “total joint replacement” AND “total joint arthroplast*” with “Topic” filters. The papers returned were then sorted by total number of citations and exported to Google Sheets for further analysis.

Results

The most cited publication was “Outpatient total knee arthroplasty with a minimally invasive technique,” by Berger et al.. This was the oldest publication analyzed (2005), the most recent publication being published in 2020. The publications analyzed were cited a total number of 1,774 times and averaged 35.5 citations per year. The Journal with the most attributable publications was The Journal of Arthroplasty.

Conclusion

This study provides a measure of the most cited articles on outpatient arthroplasty. Most literature on the topic were categorized as Clinical Science and Outcomes (50%), comprised level of evidence III (28%), were published in the Journal of Arthroplasty (54%) and came out of the United States (76%).

Published: September 2022

Globally, 643 million people will be affected by 2030, and 783 million by 2045 with diabetes mellitus (DM), a severe disease that affects 537 million people worldwide in 2021. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has the highest prevalence of diabetes mellitus among the top ten countries worldwide. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify the factors influencing diabetes care and assess their relative importance.

Research was conducted in the Hail region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study recruited 258 diabetes patients visiting the Primary Health Centers in Hail City as part of their routine healthcare. Analyzing the data was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS-22). As far as Cronbach’s Alpha is concerned, it was 0.717, and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) was 0.705.

The study has found that the six factors including accessibility of diabetes care (p = .024), availability of diabetes services (p = .029), quality of diabetes care (p = .024), disease management strategies (p = .037), basic amenities of health system (p = .028) and health education resources (p = .030) play a significant role in providing diabetes care services to patients. According to the adjusted R2 of 0.773 (p 0.001), diabetes care is significantly influenced by these six variables. The comparative importance of the factors indicates that, out of six, quality of diabetes care is the most influential; the availability of diabetes services and health education resources are the second and third most influential factors. In order to provide better care for diabetic patients, healthcare organizations should focus on these factors.
Acupuncture as Part of Multimodal Analgesia for Chronic Pain
Authors: Robinson Christopher L , Berger Amnon , Sottosanti Emily , Li Michael , Kaneb Alicia , Keefe Joseph , Kim Edward , Kaye Alan D. , Viswanath Omar , Urits Ivan
Published: September 2022

Background

Chronic pain is a multifactorial condition that is afflicting populations worldwide causing an increasing economic, physical, mental, and emotional burden. Treatments range from medications to interventional procedures to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), such as acupuncture. This review aims to discuss the use of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic pain, proposed mechanisms, indications, and efficacy for various chronic pain conditions.

Results

Evidence is varied on the efficacy and quality of data on the use of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic pain. Recent studies have demonstrated promising results in the support of acupuncture for the use in the treatment of cancer, neck, and back pain, functional dyspepsia, and various chronic abdominal pain syndromes.

Conclusion

Acupuncture, deemed well-tolerated and safe to use, has been increasingly studied and is regarded as effective in clinical practice, but its efficacy is limited by the lack of well-conducted, high-quality clinical trials, lower quality evidence, and conflicting study results. Additionally, the exact analgesic mechanism of acupuncture remains to be fully elucidated. Increasing evidence supports the role of acupuncture as therapy in the treatment of cancer, neck, and back pain and functional dyspepsia. Further rigorous studies are needed to fully assess the use of acupuncture in various chronic pain conditions, determine its indications, and optimal treatment schedule. Overall, future studies could benefit from better designed experimental studies, larger groups, and more objectives ways to measure pain reduction and symptom improvement.

This article is a literature review of mental health concerns in non-oncologic urology patients. Pathologies represented in this review include Peyronie’s Disease (PD), erectile dysfunction (ED), urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections (UTI), infertility, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), kidney stones, and urinary retention. While there has been great interventional focus as of late for urogenitary malignancies (i.e. prostate cancer awareness with the Movember campaign), literature studies and intervention focused on non-oncologic urology patients has been limited. As such, we conducted a review on urology patients with non-oncologic pathologies as an effort to increase clinician awareness of mental health concerns among such patients, increase the comfort level for clinician communication on socially sensitive topics surrounding pathologies, and review ongoing interventions conducted within these pathologies. We outlined different ongoing Mental Health Illness (MHI) needs and treatments for various pathologies. Patients with non-cancerous urologic pathologies had lower quality of life and higher incidence of MHI than the general population. As such, in line with the American Urological Association recommendations, psychological and social support from peers, therapists, and healthcare providers further prove to be crucial for some subpopulations. The review also yielded pathology specific interventions such as group therapy for ED patients. Given the higher incidence of MHI in the patient population after the Covid-19 pandemic, MHI awareness in the sphere of non-oncologic urology treatment continues to be crucial when creating a collaborative treatment platform for patients.

Gender dysphoria is defined by severe or persistent distress associated with an incongruence between one’s gender identity and biological sex. It is estimated that 1.4 million Americans and 25 million people worldwide identify as transgender and that 0.6% of Americans experience gender dysphoria. The pathophysiology of gender dysphoria is multifactorial and incompletely understood. Genetics, androgen exposure, neuroanatomy, brain connectivity, history of trauma, parents with psychological disorders, and being raised by less than two parents are associated with gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria most frequently presents in early teenage years but can present earlier or later. Anxiety and depression are the two most common comorbid diagnoses and may be the reason for presentation to medical care. Diagnosis is established through history and or validated questionnaires. Treatment includes psychosocial therapy, pharmacotherapy for underlying depression and/or anxiety, hormonal therapy, non-genital and/or genital feminization or masculinization operations. The frequency and severity of treatment related morbidity increases progressively as treatments go from conservative to more invasive. Gender dysphoria and its treatment is individualized and not completely understood.

Purpose of Review

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a widely diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorder giving rise to symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattentiveness that can impair daily functioning. Stimulants, such as methylphenidate and amphetamines, are the mainstay of treatment for ADHD. However, nonstimulant drugs such as viloxazine, atomoxetine, guanfacine, and clonidine are becoming more popular due to minimal adverse effects when compared to stimulants.

Recent Findings

Viloxazine is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) originally used to treat depression in adults with activity in both the noradrenergic as well as serotonergic pathways. Studies have demonstrated its efficacy for its use in the treatment of ADHD. Unlike stimulants, viloxazine has a decreased chance of substance abuse, drug dependance, and withdrawal symptoms upon the cessation of therapy. Additionally, dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens after treatment with viloxazine are elevated considerably less in comparison with traditional stimulant ADHD treatments. Viloxazine provides an alternative, nonstimulant approach to treating ADHD.

Viloxazine is a recently approved, non-stimulant medication functions by inhibiting the uptake of norepinephrine which has been seen to be decreased in patients with ADHD. When patients do not respond to first-line stimulants, cannot tolerate the side effects, or have contraindications to stimulants, viloxazine may be a nonstimulant option offering patients an increasing arsenal of medications to treat ADHD.
Improving Students Reading Fluency through Audiobooks in Remote Learning

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the teaching and learning process has become more challenging and stressful. Students are expected to do self-learning without being directly guided when attending the class is not possible, while the teachers must keep encouraging the students to learn independently. At the same time, the teachers also have to think about alternative methods and materials for remote learning. Especially for those teachers who teach EFL students, they have to figure out certain materials that meet students' needs and the most relaxing activities that fit students learning styles so that the students can learn independently without feeling bored. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the implementation of audiobooks to foster students' performance in English, especially in reading fluency during remote learning. This study represents Action Research that employs quantitative and qualitative types of data. It is done in the form of cycles adapted from the Action Research cyclical process (from Mertler, 2012b). The result of this study showed that audiobook has a favourable implication on the student's ability to be more fluent in reading and positively influences students' attitudes toward their experience with the audiobook.
Dramaturgia negra brasileira – panorama de textos publicados no século XXI
Authors: Bebiano Lucas Antonio
Published: September 2022

A presente pesquisa elabora um mapeamento das dramaturgias negras brasileiras publicadas nos primeiros vinte anos do século XXI. Foram identificados quarenta profissionais da escrita cênica espalhados pelas cinco regiões do país. Ao se comprometer com uma catalogação nacional, a pesquisa identificou quem são as/os profissionais negras/ os que chegaram a publicar suas dramaturgias no Brasil, apresentando informações acerca da identidade, dos textos publicados, das regionalidades e dos gêneros dessas/es quarenta escritoras/es. Com esses resultados, se pode ter uma primeira ideia da dinâmica entre as editoras brasileiras e as/os dramaturgas/os de cada estado, como, por exemplo, o fato de que são as dramaturgias negras sudestinas as que ocupam maior espaço de publicação. Durante o processo de mapeamento, foi se percebendo como as dramaturgias publicadas podem facilmente circular em espaços oficiais de ensino. Enquanto referência bibliográfica, as dramaturgias negras podem ser utilizadas como contraponto à quantidade de teatros eurocentrados consumidos nas instituições de ensino superior em artes no Brasil.

Published: September 2022

Global climate change exposes workers to increased air temperature, polluted air, and ultraviolet radiation due to ozone depletion, increased extreme weather events, and evolving patterns of vectorborne diseases. These climate change hazards are causing acute and chronic health problems to workers. The occupational distribution of the population is the most vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change worldwide. Climate change-related adverse health hazards to the general population is getting evident around the globe. A limited focus has been made on developing a relationship between climate change and related occupational health hazards. This policy paper aims to guide health officials and policymakers to develop a climate change mitigation policy for the occupational distribution of the population. Absolute magnitude determination of climate changerelated health risks is essential to developing projecting models and predicting future hazards and risks. These models will help us to estimate climate change and environmental exposure, susceptibility of the exposed population, and capacity of public health practice and services to reduce climate change impact. Adaptation policies in international, national, and local occupational settings are required to acclimatize the workers and mitigate climate change-related adverse effects.
