Análisis crítico del uso de macroinvertebrados bentónicos como bioindicadores de la calidad del agua en el Sistema Nacional de Gestión Ambiental
Authors: Lazo Oscanoa Carlos Alberto , Piscoya Torres José Alfredo , Roa Changana Piero Jose
Published: June 2022

Debido al preocupante contexto del agua a nivel nacional y mundial, resulta imperativo establecer acciones para la protección y conservación de los ecosistemas acuáticos y recursos hídricos en el Perú, como instaurar una evaluación integral de la calidad del agua. En este contexto, los bioindicadores, en especial los macroinvertebrados bentónicos, representan una importante herramienta para una eficiente evaluación del agua. En este ensayo se analizó cómo se viene manejando el uso de estos bioindicadores a nivel internacional y en el marco del Sistema Nacional de Gestión Ambiental (SNGA) del Perú, con especial énfasis en el Sistema Nacional de Gestión de Recursos Hídricos (SNGRH), pues este tiene entre sus objetivos lograr una adecuada gestión de los recursos hídricos en el país, así como contribuir en la conservación, preservación y la recuperación del agua y sus bienes asociados, además de tener como una de sus finalidades la conservación y protección de la calidad de la misma. De esta forma se evidenció que estos bioindicadores sí se vienen considerando en algunos de los instrumentos de gestión de los sistemas que conforman el SNGA, sin embargo, en algunos de estos su uso no está muy desarrollado o se encuentra limitado al no tener una fuerte base legal; mientras que en el caso específico del SNGRH, el uso de bioindicadores es incipiente en las estrategias y acciones de sus principales instrumentos de planificación, siendo aún ausente su incorporación en el marco normativo de los recursos hídricos, y por ende en los protocolos que aborden su utilización.
A Global Perspective on the Role of Faith and Spirituality in a Post-COVID-19 National and Community Recovery: The Nigeria Case of the Pandemic
Authors: Odion Omogbai Ehimikhuae
Published: June 2022

This paper focuses on contributing to the ongoing discourse regarding the global perspectives on the role of faith and spirituality in a post-COVID-19 national and community recovery with reference to the pandemic in Nigeria. The year 2020 saw a lot of faith organisations like churches introduce and apply new initiatives of spirituality-based elements in helping people to recover from the pandemic. These elements are embodied in their programs and fellowships to their members and the general society. A vast majority of the members acknowledge a reliance on God for solutions against mental, emotional, physical, material, and financial challenges caused by the pandemic. An analytical methodology through the Integrated Critical Analysis method was used with data collected from available literature as tools of research for this study. The research findings of this study show that the value and benefit of faith includes its efficacy on the behaviours and attitude displayed in the engagement or non-engagement of people. This is to the extent of the people’s faith, religious and spiritual beliefs, along with the support that they find in their being members of faith communities. Although people may have at one time or the other had negative experiences in the past, however, studies show that faith and spirituality plays a significant role in preventing further negative effects and risk in the recovery process. The study concludes that the value that spirituality and faith-oriented approaches bring to the prevention and recovery process is a necessity.

Published: June 2022

Agriculture is considered one of the most vulnerable sectors to climate change. In addition to rainfed agriculture, irrigated crops such as rice have been developed in recent decades along the Senegal River. This new crop requires reliable information and monitoring systems. Remote sensing data have proven to be very useful for mapping and monitoring rice fields. In this study, a rice classification system based on machine learning to recognize and categorize rice is proposed. Physical interpretations of rice with other land cover classes in relation to the spectral signature should identify the optimal periods for mapping rice plots using three machine learning methods including Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Classification and Regression Trees (CART). The database is composed of field data collected by GPS and high spatial resolution (10 to 30 m) satellite data acquired between January and May 2018. The analysis of the spectral signature of different land cover show that the ability to differentiate rice from other classes depends on the level of rice development. The results show the efficiency of the three classification algorithms with overall accuracies and Kappa coefficients for SVM (96.2%, 94.5%), for CART (97.6%, 96.5%) and for RF (98% 97.1%) respectively. Unmixing analysis was made to verify the classification and compare the accuracy of these three algorithms according to their performance.

Wood in outdoor applications is exposed to various decay factors, of which fungi are the most important. Some wood species are more resistant to fungal decay than others. Forma Viva in Kostanjevica has been exhibiting sculptures made mainly of oak wood for 60 years. The oldest sculpture is the work of Tanaka Eisaku entitled “Japanese Festival”. After 60 years, the condition of the sculpture was examined with a resistograph and a moisture metre. Several samples were isolated from the sculpture and examined with FTIR and XRF spectroscopy. The density of the samples was determined with GeoPyc and analysed in detail with laser and digital microscopy. Signs of fungal attack, as well as insect and bird damage can also be seen on the sculpture. The resistograph analysis showed that the wood is mainly decayed in the axial planes and in the core. In addition, the sapwood is severely decayed in some areas. The wood has been surface-coated in recent years; however, there is no biocide residue in the wood. If the sculpture is to be preserved for posterity, it must be properly conserved.

Aim: We evaluated the reduction of mechanical complications (MCs) in circumferential minimally invasive spinal surgery (c-MIS) to treat adult spinal deformity (ASD) using lateral lumbar interbody fusion and a percutaneous pedicle screw.

Methods: Patients with ASD who underwent c-MIS with a follow-up period of > 24 months were enrolled. Groups were as follows: c-MIS using 5.5 mm rods (P group), c-MIS using a 5.5 mm single rod with cement augmentations in the upper instrumented vertebra (UIV)/UIV + 1 (B group), c-MIS using 6 mm rods (6P group), and multi-rod c-MIS (M group). Terminal rod contour was optimized to prevent proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) in the P, 6P, and M groups. Patients were divided into an MC group, consisting of 68 patients with MCs, and a non-MC group, consisting of 78 patients without MCs. We examined various spinopelvic- and implant-related parameters between the groups.

Results: Overall, 146 patients with ASD who underwent c-MIS were included. The incidence of PJK was significantly lower in the P and M groups than in the B group, and rod fracture was significantly lower in the M group than in the B and P groups. In the MC group, preoperative PT, postoperative PI-LL, and PSA were significantly larger than those in the non-MC group. Use of the 5.5 mm single rod and postoperative PI-LL were significant risk factors for MCs.

Conclusion: The complication incidence decreased with improvements in surgical techniques and measures. Use of the 5.5 mm single rod and postoperative PI-LL were significant risk factors for MCs.

Where did the Tobolsk and Tyumen Bukharans “disappear” to (historical and demographic characteristic of the ethno-estate group at the end of the 19th — first third of the 20th c.)
Authors: Tychinskikh Z.A.
Published: June 2022

One of the significant ethnic components that became part of the Siberian-Tatar community at the later stages of ethnogenesis were Bukharans / Siberian Bukharans. This ethnic group emerged in Western Siberia during the 16th–19th centuries from migrants from Central Asia. Despite the considerable amount of research on the Siberian Bukharans, transformation of this ethno-estate group in the twentieth century and the process of its inclusion into the group of Siberian Tatars remain an underexplored question. The aim of this work is to study the ethno-demographic processes that took place among the Siberian Bukharians at the end of the 19th — first third of the 20th century. Based on the materials of the First General Census of 1897, the All-Union Census of 1926, and other statistical sources, historical and demographic characteristics of the Bukharan population of Western Siberia at the end of the 19th — first third of the 20th century are given. The dynamics of changes in their numbers, settling and composition that had occurred since the end of the 19th century is considered. Special attention is paid to the problem of assimilation of the Bukharans by the Siberian Tatars in the aspect of the question of their “disappearance” in the districts of the Ural Region according to the Census of 1926. It has been revealed that, as a result of the zoning carried out in the 1920s by the Soviet state, the accounting system of the Bukharans and Tatars changed. The problem of the specifics of the tax relations of different estates of the Turkic-Tatar popula-tion, which existed earlier, disappeared with the arrival of the new government and the change in realities. The former settlements of the Tatars and Bukharans were distributed according to the territorial principle, since the state no longer saw any differences between the indigenous Siberian Tatars and Bukharans. In this connection, there appeared a “distribution” of the Bukharans and Tatars by districts, which did not coincide with the actual places of their traditional residence. As a result, there was an increase in the Bukharans in the Tarsky district due to the Tatar population of the district, whereas the former Bukharan population of the Tobolsk and Tyumen dis-tricts was counted as Tatars in the Census of 1926.
Tarkhansky Ostrog of the 17th−18th centuries: a study based on the materials of geophysical and archaeological research of 2020−2021
Authors: Zakh V.A. , Rafikova T.N.
Published: June 2022

The paper is aimed to introduce into scientific discourse materials of the research of 2020–2021 which con-firm the earlier conjecture on the location of the Tarkhansky Ostrog as on the butte at the confluence of the Tobol and Tap Rivers. The results of the geophysical surveys and excavations on the area of 168 sqm provided conclu-sive evidence towards the correctness of the preliminary argument on the location of the Ostrog and attribution of the materials of the early modern period to one of the first fortresses of the end of the 16th — beginning of the
17th centuries in the Lower Tobol River area. Uncovered remains of a palisade ditch and a wall, alongside the geomagnetic data and written sources, allow estimation of the shape and size of the burgh. Apparently, it had a subrectangular area of 1400 to 2000 sqm. The discovery of the palisade ditch provided the opportunity to render the location of the outpost and position of the turrets (“the fortress with a wooden palisade and two turrets”) at the western wall of the burgh which defended the less sloped, thus underprotected, as compared to the opposite, edge of the butte. The cutting by the palisade ditch of the remains of a thermal engineering structure with Russian ware in the filling and a series of bronze decorations shows that the chronology of the butte occupations and its stratigraphy, even within the Russian period, were significantly more complex than it appeared on the basis of only the written sources. A series of posts, probably belonging to the fence (wall?), with some of the associated pits disturbed by the palisade ditch and thermal engineering structure, belong to an object of an earlier period. It is not implausible that the remains of the fence-wall belong to the Tatar’s settlement of Tarkhan-Kala, whose loca-tion was associated by G.F. Miller with the Russian burgh positioned not far from the estuary of the Tura River, on the south-eastern side of the Tobol River. A representative pottery complex, comprising the fragments of at least 156 vessels, likely of the local produce, alongside the shards of Chinese porcelain ware, was unearthed in the excavation ditch of 2021. Some shards of glassware were found. Among the iron tools, noteworthy are a spade-iron, broken knives, a key, an arrowhead, hinges, a bracer, fishhooks, stab awls, sewing needles, and nails of various sizes. Of the bronze items, notable are a chest handle, an onlay, bronze decorations, lead bullets, and coins. Clay fishing weights and honing stones, alongside the aforementioned items, shed light on the occupations of the burgh residents. The complex of the obtained data allows conclusion on the viability of further investigation of the outpost: its layout and lifestyle, and material culture of its inhabitants during the period from the 17th to the middle of the 18th century.

Petroleum derivates used in energy production are gravely pollutants for the ecosystem, especially for aquatic environments and human health. This study aimed to isolate hydrocarbons-degrading bacteria from hot springs. Three strains of hydrocarbondegrading bacteria strains, belonging to the Bacillus and one of the genus Lysinibacillus were isolated. These strains tolerate temperatures from 65 to 100 ºC and were able to degrade and grow on BH medium supplemented with gasoline and diesel. Strain M2-7 shared 100 % 16S rRNA identity with Bacillus licheniformis and was the only able to degrade pyrene and benzopyrene among these isolated strains. The results indicate that B. licheniformis M2-7 could degrade a wider range of hydrocarbons and some recalcitrant hydrocarbon components, which could be particularly helpful for the treatment and bioremediation of hydrocarbon-polluted systems.

Authors: Massaro Alessandro , Giardinelli Vito , Cosoli Gabriele , Magaletti Nicola , Leogrande Angelo
Published: June 2022

This article presents an estimation of the hypertension risk based on a dataset on 1007 individuals. The application of a Tobit Model shows that “Hypertension” is positively associated to “Age”, “BMI-Body Mass Index”, and “Heart Rate”. The data show that the element that has the greatest impact in determining inflation risk is “BMI-Body Mass Index”. An analysis was then carried out using the fuzzy c-Means algorithm optimized with the use of the Silhouette coefficient. The result shows that the optimal number of clusters is 9. A comparison was then made between eight different machine-learning algorithms for predicting the value of the Hypertension Risk. The best performing algorithm is the Gradient Boosted Trees Regression according to the analyzed dataset. The results show that there are 37 individuals who have a predicted hypertension value greater than 0.75, 35 individuals who have a predicted hypertension value between 0.5 and 0.75, while 227 individuals have a hypertension value between 0.0 and 0.5 units.
Coastal Flooding & Sea-Level Rise: Calculation of Flood Risk Using Tide-Gauge Measurements
Authors: Taylor Stephen
Published: June 2022

AbstractLocal estimates of coastal flood risk are required for coastal planning and development, including the location and design of sea-defences and coastal buildings, such as harbours and associated infrastructure. This paper discusses the use of three parameters associated with estimating such risks; the flood return period, the instantaneous flood probability and the flood design risk, and it describes the mathematical background for their derivation. The discussion is extended to include the effects of sea level rise and how it can be incorporated into the calculations. Flood height can vary quite rapidly with distance along the coast, being affected by coastal topology, which may magnify or diminish the tidal and surge effects. Similarly land heave influences the local effects of sea level rise and can be influenced by water extraction, tectonic movements and melting ice. Tide gauge measurements provide a local historical record from which the various parameters can be retrieved. This paper discusses the algorithms used to derive these measures from tide-gauge records. The figures have been derived for four tide gauges located on the UK east coast.

Published: June 2022

A gestação é marcada por grandes mudanças hormonais, fisiológicas e anatômicas no corpo da mulher. É o período de preparo para o nascimento do bebê, através do parto. Uma grande incidência de lacerações perineais espontâneas e cirúrgicas está associada ao parto vaginal, trazendo graves consequências à saúde da mulher. A pesquisa tem como objetivo geral discutir sobre a intervenção fisioterapêutica, destacando a massagem perineal, diante da prevenção de traumas na região do períneo, tal qual discutir sobre os efeitos benéficos da associação entre as técnicas utilizadas na prevenção. Portanto, o presente trabalho trata-se de uma revisão integrativa e para a realização deste estudo foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: “episiotomia”, “laceração perineal” e “fisioterapia” em idiomas como português e inglês. O trabalho foi realizado entre os meses de agosto e novembro de 2021, visto que nesse período foi realizada uma pesquisa sistemática diante do tema do trabalho. Foram utilizados estudos publicados entre os anos de 2010 a 2021, em bases de dados como: LILACS, MEDLINE/PubMed, SciELO e PEDro. Assim, visando amenizar a gravidade das complicações e sequelas decorrentes dos traumas perineais, o fisioterapeuta participa tanto da prevenção quanto da promoção em saúde, com intervenção fisioterapêutica sendo realizada presencialmente na execução das técnicas durante a gestação e no momento do parto, e por meio de orientações a gestante para que realize as condutas em domicílio. Todavia, diante das alterações manifestadas em pacientes pós-traumas perineais, o fisioterapeuta terá atuação imprescindível com o objetivo de contribuir para a promoção do parto com número reduzido de lacerações especialmente as de terceiro e quatro graus, colaborando para uma melhor qualidade de vida dessas pacientes.

Este ensaio aborda de forma breve três espaço-problemas geográficos clarejados por Nietzsche. O primeiro é o contraponto de Nietzsche para o "mundo real": o " mundo aparente". O segundo é uma elaboração política não-totalizante do primeiro, o que Deleuze chamou de "o fogo local de Heráclito." O terceiro, a Europa, o espaço a partir do qual Nietzsche escreveu e contra o qual Nietzsche se opôs, um espaço melhor abordado através de uma leitura transcrítica e pós-colonial.
Empathic impacts of adolescent-focused storytelling interventions: A protocol for a scoping review
Authors: O'Leary Sarah , Scheidt Leticia , McMahon Jennifer
Published: June 2022

Adolescence represents an important, transitional period for social and emotional development, which contributes to conceptualisations of the self-story or narrative identity. Storytelling is a mechanism that contributes to identity formation and is intrinsically connected to social and emotional learning due to its relational context. Social and emotional learning programs are well-documented in the literature regarding their effectiveness. However, findings that are specific to empathy outcomes from interventions that center storytelling are not well established. This review aims to contribute to the research by providing a scoping review of key findings for empathic outcomes of storytelling interventions for adolescents. This scoping review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) framework for scoping reviews, and the research stages as defined by Arkey and O’Malley, and Levac and colleagues. A formal search strategy will run across seven databases, including ASSIA, Eric (EBSCO), ERIC (ProQuest), PsycINFO, PsycArticles, and Scopus. This search will be supplemented with hand-searching in Google Scholar, and grey literature will be identified using ProQuest Dissertations & Theses. Studies (published in English) from 1997 onwards will be included based on the following criteria: 1) An adolescent population (10-24 years old), 2) Storytelling interventions or narrative exchanges are the intervention of study, 3) Empathy is the key outcome. Studies will be excluded if they are published before 1997, written in languages other than English, focus on other interventions, populations, and outcomes other than empathy. The selection process will be presented in a narrative format and a PRISMA flow diagram. Results will be reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA-ScR). Ultimately, the validity and effectiveness of storytelling interventions for promoting empathy will be synthesised.

[29] (Wireless Personal Comm., 109, 349-360, 2019). Moreover, we study the L-moments of this distribution. Also, we estimate the parameters of the TLLo distribution through the L-moments and compare to other models. We fit flood level data to the TLLo distribution because Okorie and Nadarajah [30] (Wireless Personal Comm., 115, 589-596, 2020) have shown that the TLLo distribution may be used to model datasets other than airborne communication transceiver data used by Oguntunde et al. [29]. Finally, we reveal a relationship between the entropy and the upper and lower record values, as well as OSs .

BackgroundIncreasingly, community engagement (CE) has been implemented across health interventions, including for maternal and newborn health (MNH). This may take various forms, from participatory women’s groups to community health committees to public advocacy days. While research suggests a positive influence of CE on MNH outcomes, such as mortality or care-seeking behaviour, there is a need for further evidence on the processes of CE in different settings in order to inform the future development and implementation of CE across programmes. Communication, in particular, is an integral component of CE serving as a link between the programme and community. The aim of the realist review described in this protocol is to understand how, why, to what extent, and for whom CE contributes to intended and unintended outcomes in MNH programming, specifically the communication components of CE.MethodsRealist review methodology will be used to provide a causal understanding of what communication for CE interventions in MNH programming work, for whom, to what extent, why, and how. This will be done by developing and refining programme theories on communications for CE in MNH through a systematic review of the literature and engaging key experts for input and feedback. By extrapolating context-mechanism-outcome configurations, this review seeks to understand how certain contexts trigger or inhibit specific mechanisms, and what outcomes this interaction generates when communication in CE interventions is used in MNH programming.DiscussionA realist philosophy is well-suited to address the aims of this study because of the complex nature of CE. The review findings will be used to inform a realist evaluation of CE for an MNH programme in case study settings in order to ascertain transferable findings that can inform and guide engagement activities in various settings. Findings will also be shared with stakeholders and experts involved in the consultative processes of the review (through workshops or policy briefs) in order to ensure the relevance of these findings to policy and practice.RegistrationThis realist review protocol is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022293564).

Increased skin autofluorescence (SAF) predicts the development of diabetes-related complications and cardiovascular disease. We assessed the performance of a simple model which includes SAF to identify individuals at high risk for undiagnosed and incident type 2 diabetes, in 58,377 participants in the Lifelines Cohort Study without known diabetes. Newly-diagnosed diabetes was defined as fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol/l and/or HbA1c ≥6.5% (≥48 mmol/mol) or self-reported diabetes at follow-up. We constructed predictive models based on age, body mass index (BMI), SAF, and parental history of diabetes, and compared to results with the concise FINDRISC model.At 2nd visit to Lifelines, 1113 (1.9%) participants were identified with undiagnosed diabetes and 1033 (1.8%) participants developed diabetes during follow-up. A model comprising age, BMI and SAF yielded an AUC of 0.783 and was non-inferior to the concise FINDRISC model, which had an AUC of 0.797 to predict new diabetes. At a score of 5.8, sensitivity was 78% and specificity of 66%. Model 2 which also incorporated parental diabetes history, had an AUC of 0.792, and a sensitivity of 74% and specificity of 70% at a score of 6.5. Net reclassification index (NRI) did not improve significantly (NRI 1.43% (-0.50-3.37 p=0.15). The combination of an easy to perform SAF measurement with age and BMI is a good alternative screening tool suitable for medical and non-medical settings. Parental history of diabetes did not significantly improve model performance in this homogeneous cohort.

Sensitizers for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) significantly impact the electron-hole pair for conduction to produce photocurrent. In this study, sensitizers from the leaf extract of Epipremnum aureum have been subjected to sensitize the solar cell with ethanol as solvent, and the photoconversion efficiency has been evaluated. Two dyes have been used, viz. The first dye is the natural dye alone, and the second is the cocktail of natural dye (dye from Epipremnum aureum) and synthetic eosin dye. The fabricated solar cells are subjected to UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD, SEM, and J-V characteristics to study the solar cell's performance and the effectiveness of the dye. The photoconversion efficiency of the solar cell with the cocktail of natural and synthetic dye is higher than the cell with natural and synthetic dye alone. It has been found that the cell with a cocktail of dyes has given an efficiency of 0.78%, which is higher than the solar with eosin or natural dye alone.
Covid-19 Pandemic: A Qualitative Study on Adolescents’ Stress, Anxiety, and Family Communication
Authors: Çetin Zeynep
Published: June 2022

Eight high-school students participated in this qualitative study to investigate the adolescents’ stress, anxiety, and family communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. To collect data, a list of questions was prepared by the researchers based on experts’ opinions, and open-ended interviews were carried out with the participants. Consequently, four models were created and thoroughly investigated. According to the results, the COVID-19 pandemic led to higher levels of stress and anxiety and both positive and negative effects in the adolescents’ communication with their families. It seems that the period of social isolation adversely affected the adolescents’ interaction with their peers.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4C (CMT4C) is an autosomal recessive neuropathy caused by SH3TC2 mutations, characterized clinically by early-onset severe scoliosis, foot deformities, predominantly distal weakness, muscle atrophy, sensory loss and cranial nerve deficits. Most patients carry missense mutations and nonsense mutations in chromosome 5q23-33 of SH3TC2 gene associated with Schwann cells. Through linkage, haplotype and sequencing analysis in a kindred from northern China with three members affected by autosomal recessive peripheral neuropathy, we identified the compound heterozygous mutations Q244X and L1048P in SH3TC2. Onset age ranged from 6 to 43 years and all three of them had hearing loss as their first symptom. Neuropathy was moderate-to-severe. Scoliosis, foot deformities, predominantly distal weakness, muscle atrophy, sensory loss and cranial nerve deficits were present in all of them. Our study of this family expands the spectrum of mutations causing CMT4C with the discovery of a novel nonsense mutation in the SH3TC2 gene. Further more, due to the weak correlation between the nature and the position of the pathogenic variant, disease duration, and the stage of disability of CMT4C, we conducted a systematic review and evaluation of the previous literatures to further analyze the clinical findings of CMT4C.

Published: June 2022

The emergence of the pandemic has resulted in a technological paradigm shift. The development and use of a virtual mouse in place of a real mouse is one such field of research. This is a step forward in the field of HMI (Human-Machine Interaction). Even if wireless or Bluetooth mouse technology has yet to be established, it is not device-free. A Bluetooth mouse necessitates the usage of a battery and a connected dongle. The presence of additional electronics in a mouse makes it more difficult to use. This system takes frames using a webcam or built-in camera, analyses them to make them trackable, and then detects and performs mouse functions based on the gestures performed by users. As a result, the suggested mouse system eliminates the need for a device.

Background
In recent years, PET/MRI has been used clinically as a method to diagnose non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, no study has shown the usefulness of PET/MRI for lung tumor staging or its consistency with pathological staging compared to CT. This study aimed to evaluate the concordance of staging and prognostic ability of NSCLC patients using thin-section CT and 18F-FDG PET/MRI.
Methods
This retrospective study was performed on consecutive NSCLC patients who underwent both diagnostic CT and 18F-FDG PET/MRI before surgery between November 2015 and May 2019. The cTNM staging yielded from PET/MRI was compared with CT and pathological staging, and concordance was investigated. To assess the prognostic value of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), we dichotomized the typical prognostic factors and TNM classification staging (Stage I vs. Stage II or higher). Kaplan-Meier curves derived by the log-rank test were generated, and univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the factors associated with DFS and OS.
Results
A total of 82 subjects were included; PET/MRI staging was more consistent (59 of 82) with pathological staging than with CT staging. There were a total of 21 cases of CT and 11 cases of PET/MRI that were judged as cStage I but were actually pStage II or pStage III. CT tended to judge pN0 as cN1 or cN2 compared to PET/MRI. There was a significant difference between NSCLC patients with Stage I and Stage II or higher by PET/MRI staging as well as prognosis prediction of DFS by pathological staging (P < 0.001). In univariate analysis, PET/MRI, CT, and pathological staging (Stage I or lower vs. Stage II or higher) all showed significant differences. In multivariate analysis, pathological staging was the only independent factor for recurrence (P = 0.009), and preoperative PET/MRI staging was a predictor of patient survival (P = 0.013).
Conclusions
In NSCLC, pathologic staging was better at predicting recurrence, and preoperative PET/MRI staging was better at predicting the patients’ survival. Preoperative staging by PET/MRI was superior to CT in diagnosing hilar and mediastinal lymph node metastases, which contributed to the high concordance with pathologic staging.

Published: June 2022

The exhaustion of natural resources has occasioned the profit margin of oil products to increase dramatically, prompting the use of sustainable fuels like as biofuel. In the proposed investigation, biofuel was developed from castor oil utilizing Fe3O4@MnO2 NCs as a heterogeneous catalyst for the transesterification process. X-Ray Diffraction evaluation acknowledged the nanocatalyst's single phase. Scanning Electron Microscopy revealed the spherical morphology of the consolidated nanocatalyst. The magnetic characteristics were examined using a vibrating sample magnetometer. Atomic Force Microscopy demonstrated that the catalyst exhibited has a greater surface area and unevenness. The yield was achieved was 95 percent (w/w) in 50 minutes at 600 C with 15 wt percent catalyst loading and a 12:1 methanol/oil ratio, as acknowledged by a gas chromatograph with mass spectrometer. The findings indicate that Fe3O4@MnO2 NCs are an encouraging catalyst for bio-fuels production via heterogeneous catalyzed transesterification under relatively mild response circumstances.
