Published: August 2023

Background: Surgical resection remains the primary treatment option for
gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). However, there is a pressing demand for
prognostic tools that can refine patients’ treatment choices and tailor
personalized therapies accordingly. Methods: The nomograms were
constructed using the data of a training cohort (n=378) of GBC patients
at Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital (EHBH) between 2008 and 2018.
The model’s performance was validated in GBC patients (n=108) at
Guangzhou Centre from 2007 to 2018. Results: The 5-year overall survival
(OS) rate in the training cohort was 24.4%. Multivariate analyses were
performed using preoperative and postoperative data to identify
independent predictors of OS. These predictors were then incorporated
into preoperative and postoperative nomograms, respectively. The C-index
of the preoperative nomogram was 0.661 (95% CI, 0.627 to 0.694) for OS
prediction and correctly delineated four subgroups (5-year OS rates:
48.1%, 19.0%, 15.6%, and 8.1%, p<0.001). The C-index of
the postoperative nomogram was 0.778 (95%CI, 0.756–0.800).
Furthermore, this nomogram was superior to the 8th TNM system in both
C-index and the net benefit on decision curve analysis. The results were
externally validated. Conclusions: The two nomograms showed an optimally
prognostic prediction in GBC patients after curative-intent resection.

The issue of poverty is a multidimensional conception and often defined by zeroing mainly on income poverty or broadly by including lack of access to opportunities for raising standards of living. However, tackling crippling poverty in a Nation at crossroads like Nigeria requires the need to identify factors that are strongly associated with poverty and agreeable to modification by policy formulation and implementation. The focus of the research work was basically to examine the poverty level and its determinants in Ado-Ekiti. Primary data were collected from the random sample of 101 salary earners using self-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents. The poverty level was measured using Foster, Greer and Thorbecke (FGT) poverty indices, while probit regression model was employed to examine factors that influence poverty among the salary earners. The result from the descriptive statistics showed that the female salary earners within the age bracket of 34-41 years with polygamous marital status were pro poor. The incidence of poverty show that 46.5% of the sampled salary earners were actually poor based on the poverty line. The poverty depth indicated that an average poor salary earner would require 13.9% of the poverty line to get out of poverty, while the poverty severity was 6.23%. Estimation by gender group revealed that poverty was most pervasive among female salary earners with a value of 3.7% compared to other category. The probit regression further indicated that the likelihood of being poor were more with household size, level of education, place of occupation and income level. The study, therefore, recommended amongst other things that government should embark on a poverty alleviation program, especially for women so that the unemployed among women folk can be financially empowered Keywords: Poverty, Foster, Greer and Thorbecke (FGT) indices, Salary Earners, Probit Journal Reference Format: Oyewole, K.S. & Awoyemi, O.B.

The Dynamics of Crop-Raiding Activity of African Elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) at the Periphery of Mount Cameroon National Park, Southwest Region, Cameroon
Authors: Maurice Melle Ekane
Published: August 2023

Human-elephant conflict is common on cropland due to human encroachment into wildlife habitat, a serious conservation challenge in many countries in sub Saharan Africa. Though, a variety of conflict management strategies have been taken for mitigation, the impact is not much, crop-raiding is still increasingly alarming especially in mount Cameroon national park periphery due to increase in human settlement. The main objective of this study was to assess the crop-raiding activity of elephants in the national park. Data collection method was focused on sampling the affected village communities by monitoring the feeding and foraging activities of elephants on cropland. The research data collection was done for a period of four months, during this period, elephants were monitored and their feeding and foraging activities were recorded from 8:00 am – 6:00 pm on different cropland. However, the study revealed crop-raiding behavior of the elephants significant, X2 = 18.55 df=8 P=0.017, X2 = 17.64 df=8 P=0.024, X2 = 10.04 df=8 P<0.05, X2 = 9.10 df=8 P<0.05 on photo-period, landscape, elephant trails, and affected villages respectively. Maize (Zea mays) 30%, cassava (Manihot escaulenta) 24%, and banana (Musa acuminata) 21% were the most raided crops by the elephants, while oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) 15% and plantains (Musa sapientum) 10% were the least. More so, cropland destruction distance from human residence recorded a significance, X2 = 29.75 df=20 P<0.05, and X2 =46.34 df=10 P=0.000 on farm-size estimate, and the day-period respectively. The destruction of cropland by the elephants was done during the morning, afternoon, and evening periods respectively and the most frequent distance of destruction from human homes, above 100 meters recorded 28%, and 81-100 meters recorded 15% respectively. Though, the scale of destruction was rated low 51%, and high 34% respectively, it was still very high (15%) in some farms. Humanelephant conflict at the periphery of mount Cameroon national park can be mitigated with elephant translocation to other national parks within the country.
Epidemiology & Management of Cough in Smaller Settings-An Indian Case Study
Authors: Kishanrao Suresh
Published: August 2023

Nearly every person experiences at least one episode of cough every year in their lifetime. Most, people seek care outside home only after trying known home remedies, especially when cough disturbs their sleep due to postnasal drip. Available data suggest that an average Indian adult has 3 episodes of cough per year, while an average child has 7-10 such episodes every year. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the magnitude of cough across the world since early 2020. The most annoying part about a cough is “phlegm or mucus.” Mucus forms a protective lining in certain parts of our body, protects our body from foreign invaders by trapping the irritants and expel them in a cough. Excessive Phlegm or mucus is produced as a response to an irritant from the environment like allergies, smoke, smoking, dust, and infections. Excess phlegm or difficulty to expel phlegm can be tackled as per its cause or origin. No doctor or a health care worker, in his/her clinical practice has a day without seeing a patient with cough. The diagnostic tests are either not available, or unaffordable, if available and used take a long time for definitive diagnosis. Another problem is of self-medication with innumerable number of over-the-counter cough syrups. Most practitioners know about the types of coughs, their symptomatic treatment and over the counter cough syrups and mucolytics, but very few know, the Ideal rationale of managing cough. Having analysed six varieties of coughs namely i) Cough due to postnasal drip in an elderly person ii & iii) Cough of Community acquired Pneumonia in a child and an adult by antibiotics iv) Cough in an elderly person managed by traditional approach of using roasted Guava fruit v) A case of Cough variant Asthma vi) Cough among Covid 19 cases and vii) Cough in COPD case in an elderly, the author is recommending a simple symptoms based logarithmic approach for differentiating various conditions causing cough and managing them empirically. This article highlights the need for a rational approach for small settings or individual practitioners. Materials & Methodology: This review is based on the review of literature on the ideal rationale of managing cough, own learning from personal practice and practices observed among colleagues, in public sector teaching institutes and private sector hospitals. The article addresses the general practitioner’s dilemma of diagnosis and management by simple symptoms based logarithmic approach and managing empirically.

Authors: Santiago Monsalve
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Hearing loss in its different degrees is widely recognized as one of the most common disabilities of humanity, it affects approximately 100 million people around the world, only in the United States there are more than 28 million1 Americans who suffer from it and it is expected These figures will increase significantly in the coming decades. The first Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) was developed in 1979 at the House Ear Institute in the United States by Dr. William House and Dr. William Hitselberger. The intricate anatomy of the IV ventricle is of great importance in ABI surgery. The IV ventricle in an ependymal cavity of the rhombencephalon, limited anteriorly by the brainstem and posteriorly by the cerebellum, in terms of its structure it can be divided into a roof, floor and two lateral recesses, it continues towards the cephalad with the cerebral aqueduct and caudally with the central medullary canal. Objective: To value the complex anatomy of the fourth ventricle Materials And Methods: A descriptive observational study was carried out in the chair of Normal Anatomy and Imaging Dr. Luis Dellepiane, from the Universidad del Salvador, CABA. During the months of August and September 2022. 6 cerebellums with brain stem and 3 formolized heads were used. Results: The fourth ventricle is a cavity that lies dorsal to the brainstem, ventral to the cerebellum, and medial to the cerebral peduncles. A floor and a roof are described as limits, in addition to two extensions called lateral recesses. The arrangement of these can be seen when performing a sagittal cut where the fourth ventricle shows the shape of a tent, with the floor being the base with a vental orientation, and the walls the roof with a dorsal orientation. Conclusions: The anatomical knowledge of the complex structure of the fourth ventricle is of vital importance in ABI surgery, it is necessary that the neurosurgeon and the otolaryngologist know the above for a better understanding of its intricate anatomy.
Enhancement of Oil Recovery in West Qurna-1 Carbonate Reservoir by Injecting Seawater
Authors: A Radhi
Published: August 2023

Seawater injection is a novel emerging technology for enhancing oil recovery in Middle East carbonate reservoirs. This paper investigated the mechanism of seawater injection in Mishrif formation for the West Qurna-1 oil field. The decline in the pressure of West Qurna-1 needs pressure support by water injection, where it is a supergiant oil field. This study is significant because seawater injection technology is considered a future technology in the south of Iraq for several reasons. One of these reasons is the scarcity of fresh water in the Middle East, especially in Iraq, and the second reason is the availability of seawater, which is close to Basra city. This paper aims to study the essential parameters that influence the oil recovery via sweater injection as well as the inherent mechanisms that help increase the oil recovery. Collected five core plugs from producing units of Mishrif formation, MB1, and MB2, having different petrophysics properties where the permeabilities ranged from 6 to 143 md. Two types of water are used formation water and seawater. We conduct core flood experiments on chosen carbonate core samples and formation water from Iraq's West Quran-1 carbonates. The common belief facts that low salinity flooding of oil recovery gives more producing oil for the same volume of water injected due to wettability alteration. The analysis of injected and producing water indicates that higher concentrations of SO4-2 and Ca-2 ions change the wettability of the rock to more water-wet. Consequently, the oil recovery increases by 10-15 % when using seawater, which is richer in these ions.

This study aims to identify and analyze publications on the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model integrated with the integrated learning model in learning Natural Sciences (IPA) based on research journal articles from 2018 to 2023. The systematic literature review method followed the PRISMA diagram. Data were obtained from 476 national and international articles through Mendeley and Google Scholar. After the screening, 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria were found as samples. The analysis showed that integrated science learning with various models effectively improves student learning outcomes. The development of modules or learning tools can also improve students' abilities and religious characters through integration at every stage of learning. Integrated science learning models such as webbed, connected, nested, and shared have been tested and proved their effectiveness in improving student learning outcomes. However, further exploration is needed regarding integrating the PBL model with the integrated learning model to implement it with better innovation. This research is expected to contribute to the development of education in the future.

Published: August 2023

Pangestu Farmer Group is a farming group in Pandanrejo Village, Batu Regency, that has high-quality sweet corn as a strategic asset with often fluctuating yields. Consequently, the market demand cannot be met. The main problem of fluctuations in corn yields is due to improper fertilization methods. Applying liquid fertilizer during the rainy season can result in nutrients being washed away by rainwater, but when granular fertilization is used, this results in increased costs and labour. A solution is needed to solve this problem so that the fertilization process is correct, and the timing of fertilization and labour costs can be reduced. Therefore, a portable fertilizing technology based on spring valves is needed. The goal is to develop and manufacture a valve spring-based portable fertilizer that can increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the fertilization process. The comparison of type 1 and type 2 fertilizers lies in the raw material used. Commercially available hand sprayer for comparison in design. Ergonomic analyses are also considered in the design of the fertilizer, both in terms of user safety and comfort. The method in this study is to design tools with power and ergonomic calculations, manufacture tools at Sahabat Teknik Workshop, and conduct tests at Brawijaya University's Agricultural Power and Machinery Laboratory. The test results for portable fertilizer types 1 and 2 show great advantages, namely, increase in working capacity 20 times to 1.2 ha/hour, reduce the number of workers from 7 people/ha to 5 people/ha, reduce operating time, reduce labour costs and increase farmers' income by up to 57, 72%/year.

Authors: Kerr Sophie , Allman Madeleine , Shohet Cilly , Stepp Stephanie , Sharp Carla
Published: August 2023

Background

Observational assessments of parent-adolescent conflict can guide interventions to prevent and reduce conflict and mental health problems. The authors identified the Observing Mediational Interactions (OMI) as a particularly useful coding system for examining parent-adolescent conflict. The OMI is the observational measure used in the Mediational Intervention for Sensitizing Caregivers (MISC) and quantifies emotional (attachment-based) and cognitive (learning-based) behaviors during caregiver-child interactions.

Objective

The overall aim of the current study was to tailor and evaluate the OMI specifically for observing conflict interactions.

Method

Conflict discussions between 56 clinical youth aged 10-15 years and their mothers were coded using the OMI. Reliability, construct validity, and associations with affect following the conflict discussion were examined.

Results

Analyses revealed that the OMI demonstrated adequate internal consistency, interrater reliability, and construct validity in terms of associations with an alternate observational measure and parent-reported family functioning and stress. Additionally, mothers who engaged in fewer negative parenting behaviors reported greater positive affect following the conflict discussion, controlling for baseline affect.

Conclusions

Taken together, findings support the use of the OMI in future studies. While further research should attempt to extend findings to other populations and settings and elaborate the coding instructions as needed, researchers can use the OMI to inform ongoing adaptations of MISC and identify targets for prevention and intervention more broadly.
The Effect of New Technology on the Concept of “Direct Participation in Hostilities” in International Humanitarian Law
Authors: Mohammed Aram , Rasul Idrees , Ahmed Awara
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT

This Research is about participation in hostilities particular civilian participation in international and non-international armed conflict. According to the International Humanitarian Law when civilians directly participate in hostilities, they loss their protection right. 

Over recent decades, because of the continued advancement of technology, the nature of warfare has changed significantly, the current war fronts are something different from the earlier battle field. Modernization of the world differentiates the strategies of wars, methods of wars and planning of achieving the military benefits. Therefore, the earlier laws do not fit with the current war front.

It is not true to say that only Direct Participation in Hostilities (DPH) can respond adequately to current forms of participation in conflicts because nowadays there are various types of participation in wars that may not fall within the concept of direct participation such as indirect participation in hostilities. Consequently, if applied the condition of direct participation to regard a person as combatant then what will be position of people who do not directly take part such as service men.

To answer the research questions this academic paper will explains the notion of DPH. Also, this research focuses on the elements of the DPH and then the effect of new technology on the concept of DPH in International Humanitarian Law will be argued.

Los vínculos mercantiles atlánticos de Antequera de Oaxaca durante la primera mitad del siglo XVIII
Authors: Martínez Saldaña Hugo
Published: August 2023

Resumen:
Los estudios regionales que abordaban el comercio oaxaqueño en el periodo virreinal se han enfocado a tratar las relaciones de los mercaderes de esta zona con los almaceneros mexicanos y los productores indígenas. Los estudios sobre dicho comercio consideran sobre todo la recuperación de los nombres y vidas de actores clave (comerciantes de ciudades como Antequera de Oaxaca, Veracruz, Puebla y México, alcaldes mayores, subdelegados, tenientes y productores indígenas), pero poco se conoce sobre los individuos que permitieron la vinculación entre ese territorio y las costas atlánticas europeas. Para cubrir esta laguna, este artículo repasa las formas de vinculación de la ciudad de Antequera de Oaxaca a los circuitos mercantiles oceánicos, en especial al caso atlántico, y ensaya una explicación sobre algunos de los cambios en este esquema durante la primera mitad del siglo XVIII. Para ello, a lo largo de las siguientes páginas se trata de probar que el comercio atlántico novohispano de aquel periodo vio llegar a mercaderes cuyas estrategias divergían de las de sus antecesores. Entre los puntos más notables se encuentra su interés por evitar la intermediación de los almaceneros mexicanos, su vinculación a mercaderes asentados en Veracruz y, en no pocos casos, su intención de establecerse directamente en puntos estratégicos del virreinato para intercambiar sus géneros por las producciones locales más valiosas: plata y grana cochinilla, lo que los llevó a la ciudad de Antequera de Oaxaca.

Published: August 2023

Introduction. With severe heart diseases, ventricular arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation can occur. The aim of the study. To analyze the achievements of arrhythmology in the field of predicting malignant arrhythmias over the past decades cardiology and to present the own results. Materials and methods. Literature surway of 34 articles supplemented with own results directed towards prediction of cardiac arrhythmia including the malignant arrhythmias. Results. Conducted investigation identified the following signs predicting the arrhythmias development: left ventricular hypertrophy, blockage of the bundle of His left limb, severe hypertension, diabetes. Left ventricle and left atrial remodeling are predictors of atrial fibrillation development. In patients with coronary arteries disease, predictors of atrial fibrillation development are increased heart volume and size, as well as decreased left ventricle ejection fraction. In 5 monographs on cardiac arrhythmias, predictors of prognosis and algorithms for the development of malignant cardiac arrhythmias are presented in details. Together with professor O. Sychov it was elaborated original classification of supraventricular extrasystoles. Conclusion. Over the past decades, a number of prognostic criteria for malignant cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death were elaborated. These include: pronounced left ventricle hypertrophy, blockage of the left limb bundle of His, severe form of hypertension, progressive chronic heart failure, the occurrence of T. Killip II and more, ventricular extrasystole 3-5 grades according to B. Laun, ventricular tachycardia of the “pirouette” type, reduction of the left ventricle ejection fraction is less than 40.0 %, thickening of the left ventricle posterior wall and interventricular membrane 14 mm and more, sino-atrial and atrio-ventricular blockage, prolongation of the Q-T interval, use of anti-arrhytmic drugs of IA and IS classes, etc. As a rule, the more of these arrhythmias predictors are exposed, the more often sudden cardiac deaths develops. Hovewer, certain exceptions of this rule sometimes appear. Keywords: coronary heart disease combined with hypertension, diagnostic criteria, predictors of complications progression.

The minimum wage right has an imprecise and elusive definition.  It has a marked emphasis on its social aspect. In recent years, the vital mínimum right is being materialialized legally in several positive law contries. In Ibero-America, this right is also increasingly claimed by certain social groups. In 2017, the European Union encouraged its adoption by the Member States as an incentive to fight poverty, but only after the social crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic it is beginning to take off. Thus, in May 2020 the minimum vital income was approved in Spain, a reason that serves as a starting point for the analysis that we will carry out in this work. o Inn a Latin American potential regulationis being expected. For this, a logical-deductive methodological scheme has been followed, going from the analysis of the original concept to its various normative and jurisprudential expressions, all through documentary, historical, and systemic techniques, to finally propose a hypothesis that bets on global implementation.

O presente estudo, que se enquadra no paradigma qualitativo, de natureza descritiva e interpretativa, foi realizado no âmbito da Prática Pedagógica desenvolvido numa turma do 1º ano do 1º CEB, incidindo sobre a área da Cidadania. Com este estudo, procurou compreender-se que estereótipos de género eram evidenciados por alunos de uma turma do 1º ano de escolaridade e se estes estereótipos poderiam sofrer influência de atividades de desconstrução de papeis de género, com recurso a personagens e heróis de histórias e filmes para a infância. Assim, recorrendo a um conjunto de atividades – leitura e discussão da história “O Jaime é uma sereia”, visualização e discussão de excertos dos filmes “Como treinares o teu dragão” e “Brave – Indomável” com atribuição de caraterísticas ao género feminino e masculino e leitura e discussão da história “As raparigas também podem...”, procuramos desconstruir alguns dos estereótipos que encontramos na nossa primeira entrevista, sendo estes estereótipos de papéis de género e de traços de género. Os resultados obtidos permitem-nos concluir que existem efetivamente estereótipos de género por parte das crianças, sendo os rapazes os que mais demonstram estereótipos. Por sua vez, embora as atividades implementadas tenham tido algum impacto, não modificaram de forma significativa os estereótipos apresentados inicialmente.

The problem of mine danger has existed for several centuries, and its scale is constantly growing. With the start of a full-scale war, according to the UN, Ukraine became the most mined country in the world. Such a situation comprehensively worsens the level of security, the state of the environment, and makes it impossible to restore the economy.Estimated costs for demining the contaminated territory of Ukraine are estimated at 400 to 900 billion dollars. None of the countries that were faced with the need to demine territories after the end of hostilities could solve this problem on their own, only at the expense of budget funds.Current proposals for demining territories are determined based on the instructions of the National Mine Action Authority and local authorities.To substantiate the sequence of demining territories using geo-informational tools and decision support systems.The experience of support systems for decision-making on the priority of demining territories on the example of Western Sahara and Afghanistan is considered. Freely available sources of geospatial data, criteria for working with spatial data are given. The state of the National Geospatial Data Infrastructure, its integration into the European Union Geoinformation Space(INSPIRE) and its capabilities for humanitarian demining are revealed.It is advisable to supplement the studies carried out in Ukraine on determining the optimal directions of land use with humanitarian demining data and materials of the National Infrastructure of Geospatial Data. This will allow optimizing the processes of demining territories, speeding up the recovery of the economic situation and the possibility of attracting larger amounts of donor aid

he article presents the results of scientific and methodical research in the field of printing and packaging engineering.Speedy production of cardboard packaging, its packing with products, transporting and preservation is a significant factor in successful logistics operations.One of the most widespread is the method, according to which a flat cardboard blank is pushed by a punch into a matrix ("tunnel"), where its flaps are folded into a three-dimensional structure of a tray or box.There is a group of popular designs of trays and boxes according to the FEFCO catalog, which are manufactured by the method.The analysis of publications revealed the existence of both studies related to the phenomena and equipment for folding sheet materials in printing industry, and aimed at improving packaging equipment. The combination of these two directions into a single study is hindered by the currently missing description of the structure and classification of the equipment and its components. The purpose of the article is to analyze and systematize the features of the equipment for volumetric forming of a structure of cardboard containers (boxes and trays), as well as its modules to determine ways of their improvement.A review of the equipment of well-known global manufacturers revealed common features of their modular construction. The mainmechanisms of the cardboard container forming machine are defined, their functions are described, and they are classified according to the features that have the greatest impact on productivity, product quality, and energy saving. A com-parison of application in production was made for the two most widespread schemes of the equipment.Ways to improve the considered equipment and drives of its main mechanisms were outlined.The work describes the stages of the process of volumetric forming of cardboard packings by the tunnel method. The peculiarities of the use of existing devices for the volumetric forming of containers have been revealed. For the first time,the types of equipment for the implementation of the process and its main modules were classified. The presented materials can be used for the rational design of means for the production of cardboard packaging.

Milling technological operations are one of the most productive and widespread methods of metalworking. From the point of view of providing the blank with the desired configuration, thesetechnological operations represent the most universal method of processing. Technological operations of plunger milling are now becoming more and more widespread. Plunger milling is used precisely when the use of traditional methods is impossible due to excessive vibrations. Performing technological operations of plunger milling is fundamentally different from performing technological operations of traditional milling. The article contains recommendations that must be followed when performing technologicaloperations of plunger milling. The purpose of the article is to determine the possibility of using any CAM-system to ensure high-quality execution of technological operations of plunger milling. To do this, it is proposed to check whether the CAM-system supports two requirements. The article provides a list of the most common CAM-systems, indicating whether a given software module supports plunger milling. The article proposes a scheme for the implementation of the trajectory of the plunger cutter for the use of any CAM-system in order to ensure the high-quality execution of technological operations of plunger milling. This proposed scheme consists of four main stages. The first stage of the proposed scheme consists of the formation of an array ofholes within the contour of the cavity or other surface being processed. The essence of the second stage of the proposed scheme is to determine the value of the allowance for finishing (depending on the complexity of placing the holes in the contour of the cavity, it is possible to increase the allowance for processing). The third stage of the proposed scheme consists in developing, based on the array of holes that was formed in the first stage, the software code for inserting a cutter into each of the holes in accordance with the coordinates that are specified (by analogy with the development of drilling cycles). The essence of the fourth stage of the proposed scheme is to manually program the removal of the plunger cutter from the walls of the cavity or other surface being processed

The ozonolysis of iodide occurs at the sea-surface and within sea-spray aerosol, influencing the overall ozone budget in the marine boundary layer and leading to the emission of reactive halogen gases. A detailed account of the surface mechanism has proven elusive, however, due to the difficulty in quantifying multiphase kinetics. To obtain a clearer understanding of this reaction mechanism at the air-water interface, we report pH-dependent ozonolysis kinetics of I- in single levitated microdroplets as a function of [O3] using a quadrupole electrodynamic trap and an open port sampling interface for mass spectrometry. A kinetic model, constrained by molecular simulations of O3 dynamics at the air-water interface, is used to understand the coupled diffusive, reactive, and evaporative pathways at the microdroplet surface, which exhibit a strong dependence on bulk solution pH. Under acidic conditions, the surface reaction is limited by O3 diffusion in the gas phase, whereas under basic conditions the reaction becomes rate limited on the surface. The pH dependence also suggests the existence of a reactive intermediate IOOO- as has previously been observed in the ozonolysis of Br-. Expressions for steady-state surface concentrations of reactants are derived and utilized to directly compute uptake coefficients for this system, allowing for an exploration of uptake dependence on reactant concentration. In the present experiments, reactive uptake coefficients of O3 scale weakly with bulk solution pH, increasing from 4×10-4 to 2×10-3 with decreasing solution pH from pH 13 to pH 3.

This work provides insight into the local structure of Na in MgO-based CO2 sorbents that are promoted with NaNO3. To this end, we use X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Na K-edge to interrogate the local structure of Na during CO2 capture (MgO + CO2 ↔ MgCO3). The analysis of Na K-edge XAS data shows that the local environment of Na is altered upon MgO carbonation when compared to NaNO3 in the as-prepared sorbent. We attribute the changes observed in the carbonated sorbent to an alteration in the local structure of Na at the NaNO3/MgCO3 interfaces and/or in the vicinity of [Mg2+···CO32–] ionic pairs that are trapped in the cooled down NaNO3 melt. The changes observed are reversible, i.e. the local environment of NaNO3 was restored after a regeneration treatment to decompose MgCO3 to MgO. The ex situ Na K-edge XAS experiments were complemented by ex situ magic-angle spinning 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS 23Na NMR), Mg K-edge XAS and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). These additional experiments support our interpretation of the Na K-edge XAS data. Furthermore, we develop in situ Na (and Mg) K-edge XAS experiments during the carbonation of the sorbent (NaNO3 is molten at the conditions of the in situ experiments). These in situ Na K-edge XANES spectra of molten NaNO3 open new opportunities to investigate the atomic scale structure of CO2-sorbents modified with Na-based molten salts using XAS.

We report a case of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) that occurred after childbirth in a patient with a history of numerous recurrent episodes of TMA with nephrotic proteinuria and impaired renal function. At 33 weeks of the first spontaneous pregnancy, proteinuria up to 0.8 g/l was first registered, at 38 weeks she was hospitalized with proteinuria, reaching a maximum of 13 g/l, she was delivered promptly, after which progressive thrombocytopenia was noted over the next few days (up to 44109/l) and anemia and severe arterial hypertension, which could not be corrected by several groups of antihypertensive drugs. Initiated plasma therapy had no effect. After exclusion of all other causes of TMA, therapy with eculizumab was initiated, which made it possible to quickly and completely stop the phenomena of TMA. The presented observation demonstrates the successful treatment of recurrent course of aHUS with eculizumab with the achievement of complete recovery of kidney function in a patient with a homozygous mutation in the MCP gene. It is worth noting the importance of genetic research even in those situations where clinically aHUS is beyond doubt.
