Published: April 2024

Evaluation of rheological properties of reconstituted mango peel powder (MPP) cv. Neelum at different particle sizes and sample concentrations was investigated. The combined effect of sample (MPP: water) concentration (1:4, 1:5, 1:6) and particle size obtained from sieve openings (420 µm, 355 µm, 250 µm and 125 µm) were evaluated on the rheological parameters (yield stress, flow behaviour index and consistency index). Lightness (L) and yellowness (b) increased while greenness (a) decreased with reduction in particle size. The increase in sample concentration was associated with increase in shear stress values. Rheological characterization was performed on the basis of coefficient of determination (R2 ) and other model parameters. For the samples (particle size of 250μm and 125μm), the Herschel-Bulkey model (R2 ≥0.831), Power law (R2 ≥0.803) and Casson law (R2 ≥0.832) fitted well to shear stress-shear rate data.

Published: April 2024

Land-use change due to urbanization is continuously decreasing agricultural and forest lands that has important implications on the sustainable livelihood of the inhabitants of a watershed. In this study, land-use maps of Patiala-Ki-Rao watershed that is located in Shivalik foot-hills in Mohali district, Punjab were generated in GIS environment using Landsat imageries for the years 2006 and 2016 with overall classification accuracy and Kappa statistic of above 90 % and 0.9, respectively. The analysis of land-use maps indicated that the area under all land-uses decreased over a decade, except built-up land that increased by 372.27 ha (112.04 %) mainly due to urbanisation in the watershed. The change detection matrix revealed that out of 906.98 ha under agricultural land in 2006, 197.43 ha were mainly converted to built-up land. Likewise, from forest cover of 3462.21 ha in 2006, 151.11 ha were converted to agricultural land and 75.05 ha to built-up land. These land-use changes, if continued, may cause a serious threat to watershed resources, and hence calls for proper land-use policy formulation.

Published: April 2024

Rice production in India needs to be increased to meet the future food demand of the ever- growing population and under the constraints of land, water, climate and other socio-environmental factors. Rice is the staple food in India, and needs maximum water among cereal crops. Improved rice cultivation practices (RCP) such as System of Rice Intensification (SRI), Alternate Wetting Drying (AWD), Bund Plugging (BP) and Raised Bed (RB) could potentially increase the water productivity over conventional (CON) rice cultivation practice. Field studies were conducted to estimate water productivity (WP) of these improved rice cultivation practices at Kharagpur during the kharif season of 2014 and 2015. Highest grain yield was recorded in SRI practice (5.57-5.60 t.ha-1) among all RCPs. Bund plugging practice showed the highest WP and statistically similar yield to SRI. Maximum irrigation water saving could be made with BP (44.8-60.1 %) among other RCPs, as compared to the conventional practice. It was concluded that BP is the best management practice with highest water productivity, irrigation water saving and commendable yield.

Published: April 2024

Radiological examinations such as chest X-rays (CXR) play a crucial role in the early diagnosis and determining disease severity in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Various CXR scoring systems have been developed to quantitively assess lung abnormalities in COVID-19 patients, including CXR modified radiographic assessment of lung edema (mRALE). The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between mRALE scores and clinical outcome (mortality), as well as to identify the correlation between mRALE score and the severity of hypoxia (PaO2/FiO2 ratio). A retrospective cohort study was conducted among hospitalized COVID-19 patients at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya, Indonesia, from February to April 2022. All CXR data at initial admission were scored using the mRALE scoring system, and the clinical outcomes at the end of hospitalization were recorded. Of the total 178 COVID-19 patients, 62.9% survived after completing the treatment. Patients within non-survived had significantly higher quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) score (p<0.001), lower PaO2/FiO2 ratio (p=0.004), and higher blood urea nitrogen (p<0.001), serum creatinine (p<0.008) and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (p=0.001) levels. There was a significant relationship between mRALE score and clinical outcome (survived vs deceased) (p=0.024; contingency coefficient of 0.184); and mRALE score of ≥2.5 served as a risk factor for mortality among COVID-19 patients (relative risk of 1.624). There was a significant negative correlation between the mRALE score and PaO2/FiO2 ratio based on the Spearman correlation test (r=-0.346; p<0.001). The findings highlight that the initial mRALE score may serve as an independent predictor of mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients as well as proves its potential prognostic role in the management of COVID-19.

Published: April 2024

On June 16, 2023, a juvenile female olive baboon (Papio anubis) in our study troop at the Uaso Ngiro Baboon Project in Kenya grabbed a ~3-week-old infant from another troop and released him near a high-ranking adult female in the study troop. This female, who was already pregnant, took the infant and treated him as her own, allowing him nipple access. The infant survived for over a month, which suggests the female produced some milk, at least initially, but he eventually died on July 24. Here, we describe the behaviours of all individuals involved in this rare event, and present possible proximate mechanisms and ultimate explanations for the behaviours observed. Rare events can reveal a species’ behavioural and physiological flexibility, and this one sheds light on the potential for infant stacking in baboons and the use of infants as a commodity within the social market of the troop.
Modelling the Form and Function of the Paediatric Musculoskeletal System
Authors: Carman Laura
Published: April 2024

Musculoskeletal development in a paediatric population is an important but poorly understood domain. Understanding how bone geometry changes with growth, allows development of more accurate models in a paediatric population. Which can be used for applications such as musculoskeletal and finite element modelling, to help understand information about movement including joint contact and muscle forces. Utilising a dataset of 333 CT scans of children aged 4 – 18 years old, this thesis explores changes in musculoskeletal geometry with growth.
This thesis evaluates clinical bone measurement changes with growth. Three-dimensional angular and linear measurements from the pelvis, femur, and tibia/fibula were extracted. Notably, femoral and tibial torsion remained consistent between sexes, while sex-related differences in linear measurements emerged in children aged 13 and older. Females consistently displayed smaller linear measurements compared to males of the same age/height, possibly contributing to increased injury risks during adolescence. Accurate estimation of the hip joint centre is vital for assessing hip joint motion and related parameters. In this thesis, three different hip joint centre determination methods were evaluated in a paediatric population—regression equations, linear scaling, and shape model prediction. Our novel shape model prediction exhibited superior accuracy compared to alternative methods.
Addressing the challenge of rapidly generating musculoskeletal geometry in a paediatric population, this thesis presents population-based shape models for lower limb bones. These models utilised principal component analysis on segmented pelvis, femur, and tibia/fibula data, to accurately predict bone geometry from demographic and linear bone measurements. Subsequent articulation of the shape model allowed for both shape and pose prediction of lower limb bones from bone surface landmarks. The generated shape models outperformed traditional linear scaling methods, offering a more accurate and accessible solution for paediatric musculoskeletal geometry prediction.
Overall, this thesis underscores the importance of understanding changes in musculoskeletal geometry with growth and provides valuable tools and methods which capture these changes. This thesis not only illustrates sex-related skeletal differences but has also pioneered the use of statistical shape models in a paediatric population to predict lower limb musculoskeletal geometry. These findings hold significant implications for clinical and research applications, advancing our understanding of paediatric musculoskeletal geometry.

Ozick’s Feminism and the Woman Writer
Authors: Coit Emily
Published: April 2024

As Ozick herself has noted, readers have observed a contradiction between her championing of the particularity of the Jewish writer and her insistence on the human universality of the writer who happens to be a woman. Examining Ozick’s thinking about sex and gender, this article explains why this apparent contradiction isn’t one for her. Considering the relationship between her “classical feminism” and her ideas about genius and art making, this article highlights the key claims of her polemics against “the woman writer” from the 1970s. The article then reads Ozick’s essays on Virginia Woolf and Edith Wharton from the same decade as richly unruly works of fiction that undermine some of those claims. Locating Ozick’s feminism among those of her peers in the late twentieth century, this article also points to the relevance of her ideas for the contending feminisms of the present.

Authors: Arenike Patricia Adekugbe  , Chidera Victoria Ibeh
Published: April 2024

Health disparities in the United States persist across various demographic groups, contributing to inequities in access to healthcare, health outcomes, and quality of life. Addressing these disparities requires a comprehensive approach that leverages data analytics to identify, understand, and mitigate underlying causes. This paper presents a nationwide perspective on tackling health disparities through data analytics. Beginning with an overview of the current landscape of health disparities, the paper emphasizes the significance of addressing these disparities and underscores the pivotal role of data analytics in driving effective interventions. By understanding the complex interplay of factors contributing to disparities, including socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, geography, and access to healthcare, data analytics offers insights into patterns and trends that inform targeted interventions. Drawing from diverse sources of healthcare data, including electronic health records, surveys, and administrative data, this paper explores the challenges and opportunities in collecting, managing, and analyzing data to identify priority areas for intervention. Geospatial analysis further enables the identification of geographic hotspots with the highest disparities, guiding resource allocation and intervention strategies. Through stakeholder engagement and collaboration with community organizations and healthcare providers, evidence-based interventions are developed and tailored to address specific disparities. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of intervention effectiveness, coupled with iterative refinement based on data-driven insights, ensure adaptive and responsive approaches to reducing disparities. Finally, the paper discusses the policy implications of data-driven interventions, advocating for policies that address systemic factors contributing to disparities and utilizing data to inform policy decisions and resource allocation. By harnessing the power of data analytics, this paper aims to contribute to the ongoing efforts in addressing health disparities and advancing health equity in the United States.

Published: April 2024

Professional pharmaceutical care services contribute to better health problem control, especially in polymedicated patients, and to the optimization of health resources, which leads to less medication prescription and fewer visits to healthcare centers. This study included 78 patients, with the female sex being the most prevalent, with an average age of 72.49 ± 13.92 years; of these, 60 patients were over 65 years of age and, herefore, considered geriatric patients. They were included in a personalized medication dispensing service and, subsequently, a pharmacotherapeutic follow-up was carried out. 450 medication-related problems were detected, the most frequent of which were associated with the patient: lack of knowledge of use, poor therapeutic adherence, administration errors, etc., with the probability of presenting them being higher in the male sex. Associated with these medication problems, 160 negative medication-related results were detected; only 5 of them were not resolved during the study phase, the most frequent being those of non-quantitative ineffectiveness, that is, those that are not resolved with a modification of the pharmacological dose but by including or eliminating other active ingredients. In conclusion, the personalized medication dispensing service requires a medication review, such as pharmacotherapeutic follow-up, as both allow the optimization of the treatment of polymedicated patients, as well as an increase in the control of health problems.
