The Problem With the Relativity of Simultaneity
Authors: Traill Declan
Published: March 2022

Relativity claims that the simultaneity between two (or more) observers, each traveling in different Inertial Reference Frames (IRFs) is such that for two spaceships moving through space at a high-speed relative to one another “inside the frame of reference of Ship A, everything is moving normally, but everything over on Ship B appears to be moving slower (and vice versa)”. However, as I will explain, this interpretation leads to an inconsistency which cannot be true. I point out the error being made in the interpretation of Minkowski diagrams that leads to this inconsistency, and how the diagram should be interpreted to correct this error. This paper demonstrates that a moving object’s rate of time is determined based on its speed relative to a stationary reference frame and that the light signals propagating between objects (from which observers can determine the other object’s rate of time) move at the speed of light c with respect to this stationary frame. If two objects are moving at the same speed through the stationary frame (but in different directions to each other) then they will have the same degree of time dilation and will thus have the same rate of time, despite the relative motion that exists between them.

Published: March 2022

The study was conducted in order to determine the factors affecting the fear of medical procedures of school children aged 7-14 years. The sample was calculated by using the formula used when the number of individuals in the universe was known and consisted of 300 children willing to participate in the study. The data were collected with the "Data Collection Form" and the "Medical Procedure Fear Scale (MPFS)", which inquired about the sociodemographic characteristics of the child and family, and the child's hospital experience. The difference between the gender and total MPFS, procedural, personal and interpersonal sub-dimension scores, and the age and mean scores of MPFS, procedural and interpersonal sub-dimensions were statistically significant. Children with hospital experience had higher environmental and interpersonal subscale scores than those without (p<.05). It was determined that average score of MPFS and subdimension scores of the children who defined income as less than expense was higher (p<.05). As a result, it is seen that the majority of children are “a little afraid during medical procedures. It is seen that the age and gender of the children, mother's age and educational status of mother and father and perceived income status affect the fear of medical procedure.

Authors: Doğan Runida , ÖZKAN Meral
Published: March 2022

Hopelessness and fatigue are common symptoms experienced by breast cancer patients in the post-operative period. Supportive interventions, such as art making or art therapy, are reported to have a positive effect on the symptoms experienced by cancer patients. This semi experimental study aims to evaluate the effect of painting on post-operative hopelessness and fatigue in breast cancer patients. The population of the study consisted of all adult patients who had surgery for breast cancer in a university hospital in Turkey and lived in the city center. The sample of the study consisted of 110 patients, 55 in the experimental group and 55 in the control group. The sample included patients who were selected through the improbable random sampling method. The research was completed between April 2016 and January 2018. Patient Information Form, Piper Fatigue Scale and Beck Hopelessness Scale were used to obtain data. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square, independent group’s t test, paired t test and correlation were used in the analysis of the data. It was observed that the hopelessness and fatigue scores of the patients in the experimental group decreased statistically significantly after the painting study (p=0.001). No statistically significant change was observed in the hopelessness and fatigue scores of the patients in the control group. In this context, it is thought that nurses should know the effect of painting on hopelessness and fatigue and include it in their practices. It may be recommended to conduct new studies in order to evaluate the effects of painting on different patient groups.

The limited resources and inappropriate knowledge on effective utilization of available resources like fisheries in Eritrea have been resulting in severe malnutrition, especially among children. Dura Milk Kebkebe (DMK) -a traditional weaning food -is one of the improved weaning foods used as a food supplement for infants and children in addition to breastfeeding. A highly nutritive instant diet with maize and carrot fortified with fish powder from inshore Lizardfish has been prepared to aim to ensure the availability of low-cost weaning food in Eritrea. The nutritional composition of developed food contained proteins 19.50±1.58g, carbohydrates 52.50±3.15g, fats 6.03±2.19g, fiber 4.84±1.15g, and ash 3.26±0.98 per 100g of dry weight. The fatty acid profile of the developed weaning food has shown 1.71±1.11g of polyunsaturated fatty acids, 2.26±0.05g of monounsaturated fatty acids 2.06±1.51of saturated fatty acids per 100g of sample with a potential nutritional value which was found better than DMK. The microbiological analysis of the weaning food has also shown within the recommended level of ISO food standards. Finally, it is learned that the developed weaning food was nutritious, microbiologically safe, and has gained acceptance from the consumers at organoleptic attributes. Due to the paucity of appropriate weaning food in developing countries like Eritrea, this product can be a good alternative to minimize malnutrition.

Published: March 2022

Citrus (Citrus spp. L.) production in Eritrea covers over 2409 ha of the land but the average potential of production is 91 q/ha to 150 -170 q/ha. This low yield might be due to lack of knowledge on management practices, adverse environmental factors and different diseases caused by various pathogens. Moreover, there is no proper recorded data on the identification of diseases on citrus and its intensity, hence, this survey: to identify the prevailed diseases; assessment of disease incidence, severity and calculate the ‘Area Under Disease Progress Curve’ (AUDPC). A survey was carried out in three orchards in each five citrus producing villages (Fredarb, Tsebabo, Hamelmalo, Wazntetand Genfelom) from sub-zoba Hamelmalo. The fungal diseases found on citrus were brown spot, sooty mold, gummosis, black spot, scab and melanose; the bacterial infection was canker; and viral diseases were leprosis and cholorotic dwarf. The highest percentage of disease incidence was recorded Fredarb with 77.16% and the lowest was found in Genfelom with 47.29 % in the same month. The highest percentage of diseases severity was found in Hamelmalo with 40.02%. On the other hand, the least percentage of disease severity was found in Genfelomwith 25.04%. The influence of epidemiological factors showed that they could be some of the reasons to develop and spread the mean disease incidence (65.6%) in February, 2018. The AUDPC was recorded highest (2829) in the orchard 3 of Hamelmalo, and lowest (1152) in orchard 3 of Tsebabo. A decreasing trend of temporal disease data from the first month to the third month was estimated in the orchard 2 and orchard 3 of Fredarb, orchard 2 of Genfelom, orchard 1 of Hamelmalo, all orchards of Tsebabo and in both orchard1 and 3 of Wazntet villages.

Reimbursement for Complex Carpal Trauma
Authors: Dunn John , Scanaliato John , Green Clare , Rhee Peter Charles , Nesti Leon
Published: March 2022

Objectives: To compare Relative Value Unit (RVU)-based reimbursement of operative fixation of complex carpal trauma versus primary operative fixation of distal radius fractures.
Design: Database review.
Setting: National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database
Intervention: Surgical treatment of complex carpal trauma and distal radius fracture.
Main outcome measurement: Mean and median total work Relative Value Unit (wRVU), surgical time, wRVU/minute, reimbursement/minute, reimbursement/surgical case.
Results: The 139 patients who underwent fixation of complex carpal trauma and 222 patients who underwent fixation of distal radius fractures were included in this study. The mean wRVUs were 10.56 for the complex carpal trauma group and 12.46 for the distal radius fracture group. Complex carpal trauma cases were an average of 31 minutes longer than distal radius fracture cases. Mean wRVU/minute (0.19 vs 0.14) and median wRVU/minute (0.18 vs 0.11) were higher for distal radius fracture cases than for complex carpal trauma cases (percent difference: mean 34%, median 62%). Lastly, the mean ($378.85) and median reimbursement ($383.29) per surgical case for complex carpal trauma was lower than that of the mean ($447.19) and median reimbursement ($516.08) of distal radius fractures.
 
Conclusions: Despite longer operative times and increased procedural complexity, surgical treatment of complex carpal trauma is reimbursed significantly less than surgical treatment of distal radius fractures. The authors advocate a threefold plan. First, the ACS may consider developing more clear guidelines on the definition of a hand surgeon. Second, hand surgeons must insert themselves into hospital policy making, particularly with call and consult management discussions. Finally, considering the three components of the RVU calculation (physician work, physician expertise, and liability), the management of complex carpal trauma is under-recognized and reimbursed. As such, the authors recommend consideration of these injuries to be recompensed commiserate with arthroplasty and orthopaedic trauma.

Published: March 2022

Nas últimas décadas do séc. XX, os debates em filosofia política foram marcados pelo surgimento de um neoaristotelismo que renovou a discussão ao oferecer novasperspectivas diante dos dogmas liberais. Mas, se Aristóteles voltou a ser importante para a investigação contemporânea, o mesmo não se pode dizer de Platão, cujas ideiasparecem muito distantes de nós. No entanto, podemos encontrar, na obra de John Milbank, uma tentativa de assimilar pressupostos platônicos ao pensamento políticorecente. Neste artigo, analisamos esses pressupostos, tal como aparecem em alguns de seus artigos, de modo a avaliarmos em que medida, nos dias de hoje, é ainda possível um platonismo político.

Perspective Chapter: Contribution to the Local Community at the University
Authors: Maeshima Shinichiro
Published: March 2022

In 2020, Japan had nearly three million students enrolled in 795 universities, representing 54.4% of the student population—the highest in the nation’s history. However, the number of private universities has grown dramatically, while the population of 18-year-olds has dropped due to Japan’s declining birthrate; as a result, one-third of private universities are now under-enrolled, making it difficult for many of them to operate. Universities have a long and storied history, and their function and mission have changed over time. Amid competing visions for what a university’s primary focus should be, the roles universities are expected to play are also changing. To meet the demands of local communities and society, as well as the diverse needs of students, universities should provide an education that draws on students’ individuality. Recently, universities’ contributions to the development of society have started being emphasized; together with research and education, social contribution needs to be perceived as the so-called third mission of the university, and analysts are calling for more industry-academia-government collaborations. This chapter focuses on universities’ social contribution, and describes the connection between local communities and the social contribution activities that universities have carried out for the past 20 years.

Published: March 2022

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the ratio of patients with hypertension for whom coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been diagnosed in the world. In addition, the effect of COVID-19 on the outcomes of hypertension was evaluated. Methods: To find articles published by July 2020, a comprehensive systematic search was carried out in five electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science. The meta-analysis entailed all relevant articles on the clinical and epidemiological features of patients with COVID-19. Two researchers independently reviewed the eligible post-selection studies, and finally, the discrepancies between the opinions of the two researchers were resolved by a third arbitrator. Two researchers independently examined the risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Results: The pooled prevalence of high blood pressure in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 worldwide was obtained as 31% (95% CI: 23 - 38%). The changes for hypertension prevalence in different studies included in the meta-analysis varied from 2 to 64%. Moreover, the results of subgroups analysis based on different countries demonstrated that the prevalence of hypertension in patients with COVID-19 in China and other countries was 29% (95% CI: 24 - 34%) and 32% (95% CI: 19 - 46%), respectively. Conclusions: The evidence revealed that a health condition that commonly accompanies and affects the outcomes of COVID-19 is hypertension. Therefore, COVID-19 patients with hypertension should be given priority and benefit from a preventive, therapeutic approach. Furthermore, essential training should be provided by health policymakers.

Materials and Methods: This retrospective analysis was done on children admitted for ALL treatment. Data was collected for January 2016 to July 2018, regarding baseline characteristics, tolerance to induction therapy, morbidity, mortality, deviations from protocol, and induction outcomes among children with ALL treated at a tertiary care teaching hospital (Cancer Research Institute, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Dehradun, Uttrakhand, India). Confirmed cases of ALL with age upto 18 years, who took more than a week of planned induction were included in the study. Data was analysed using Chi-square and Fisher-Exact test. Results: Four-drug induction was feasible and given to 76 patients during the study period. Mean age of the group was 9.3 years. Male: female ratio was 1.3:1. Remission was achieved in 63 (82.8%) patients. Four deaths occurred, and were attributed to infection. Hyperglycaemia (4), CNS events (2), peripherally inserted central line related thrombosis (2) and pulmonary tuberculosis (1) were noted among four, two, two, and one cases, respectively. Febrile neutropenia was noted in 65 cases and seven cases required ICU care; two of them succumbed in the ICU. Baseline blood parameters, subtype of disease, protocol of treatment and age did not affect the induction outcome statistically. Conclusion: Intensive induction chemotherapy has varying complications and can be employed even in resource-limited settings with acceptable results.

Authors: Sreelakshmi C. , Thomas Allan
Published: March 2022

Aim: To delineate extent of horizontal cum vertical integrations and to  analyze distribution of specializations based on the level of vertical diversification

Study Design:  ‘Ex-post-facto’ and ‘explorative’ research designs were used for conducting the present study.

Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Thruvanathapuram district of Kerala in India during 2018-2020.

Methodology: Specialized homegardens identified under ‘ICAR Niche Area Excellence project’ were selected for the study. Sixty specialised homegardens with  twelve homegardens each from each AEUs were selected for data enumeration.

Results: Majority of specialized homegardens (60%) do have more than 4 tiers/levels of horizontal diversification whereas 40% have less than 4 tiers of diversification. Similarly, distribution of vertical diversification shows that 61.6% have less than 3 levels and 38.3 % have more than 3 levels of vertical diversification. Mean vertical diversification was found to be highest for livestock-cow (3.75) and least was for tubers and orchids (1) each. However 3 levels of vertical diversification was noticed for rubber, animal husbandry, coconut, goat, mushroom and aquaculture.

Conclusion: Homegardens with specializations are the sustainable production system. If the competent authorities pay attention to the individual specializations of the system and give adequate thrust to the value addition of these specializations, then definitely homegardens can turn out to be better remunerative farming system fetching supplementary benefits.
Role of Arbitration in Resolving Medical Malpractices : A Literature Review
Authors: Kusuma Agus Perry , Isworo Slamet
Published: March 2022

Background and Objective: Most malpractice disputes are caused by the breakdown of communication between patients and doctors or hospitals, which can harm the reputation of both parties, necessitating a fair solution. Cases can be resolved in one of two ways: litigation or non- litigation. Arbitration is a non-litigation method to reach a fair settlement without involving a court. The aim of the literature review is to describe the role of arbitration in the settlement of malpractice cases.

Methods: This study uses a systematic literature review.

Results: Arbitration is a reasonable method for resolving malpractice claims. This can be done by optimizing the rule of law in the form of pre-contract agreements between patients and hospitals or doctors, and by using the Arbitration Board to resolve medical disputes, especially malpractice disputes before they become court cases.

Conclusion: The significance of maximizing the rule of law as a foundation for carrying out an arbitration pattern is that it is faster and less expensive, and the decision is final and binding.
Global Existence for Compressible Euler Equations with Damping in Partial Space-Period Domains
Authors: Li Jintao
Published: March 2022

In this paper, we are concerned with the global existence of solutions to isentropic compressible Euler equations with damping in partial space-period domains. Based on the uniform energy estimates, we obtain the global existence for any spatial dimension if the initial data is sufficiently close to an equilibrium. Simultaneously, we show that the vorticity and its derivatives decay exponentially to zero in two and three dimensions.

Published: March 2022

In this study, the atmospheric-pressure hydrogenation of CO2 was carried over bimetallic Ni-Ga catalyst supported on mesoporous carbon (MC). MC was successfully prepared using the soft-template method as proven by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller  Surface Area Analyzer (BET SAA), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) characterizations. The Ni-Ga/MC catalyst was synthesized using the impregnation method, and based on the XRD characterization, the formation of bimetallic Ni-Ga on the MC support is confirmed. The EDS mapping image shows the uniform distribution of the bimetallic Ni-Ga on the MC surface, especially for the Ni5Ga3/MC and NiGa3/MC catalysts. Moreover, the TEM images show an excellent pore size distribution. The formation of Ni-Ga alloy was identified as an active site in the CO2 hydrogenation. Ni5Ga3/MC catalyst exhibited a 10.80% conversion of CO2 with 588 μmol/g formaldehyde at 1 atm, 200 °C, and H2/CO2 ratio of 3/1. Copyright © 2022 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Published: March 2022

Carbon dots (CDs) have received tremendous attention for their excellent photoluminescence (PL) properties. However, it remains a great challenge to obtain CDs with ultraviolet (UV, 200–400 nm) emission in solid state, which requires strict control of the CDs structure and overcoming the aggregation‐caused quenching (ACQ). Herein, a new sp3 compartmentalization strategy is developed to meet these requirements, by employing acetic acid to promote fractions of sp3 bonding during the synthesis of CDs. It markedly decreases the size of sp2 conjugating units in the CDs, and shifts PL emission to the ultraviolet B (UVB) region (λmax = 308 nm). Moreover, sp2 domains are well spatially compartmentalized by sp3 domains and the ACQ effect is minimized, enabling the high quantum yield in solid state (20.2%, λex = 265 nm) with a narrow bandwidth of 24 nm and environmental robustness. The solid‐state UVB emissive CDs are highly desired for application in photonic devices. Hence, a demo of UVB light‐emitting diodes is fabricated for plant lighting, leading to a 29% increase of ascorbic acid content in the basil. Overall, a rational and efficient way to construct solid UVB‐CDs phosphors for wide applications is provided.

Published: March 2022

Objectives

Three different hypotheses proposed via the controversial evidence from cultural, anthropological, and uniparental genetic analyses, respectively, stated that Tanka people probably originated from Han Chinese, ancient Baiyue tribe, or the admixture of them. Therefore, the genetic origin and admixture history of the Tanka people, an isolated “Gypsies in water” in the coastal region of Southeast China, are needed to be genetically clarified using genome‐wide SNP data.

Materials and methods

To elucidate the genetic origin of the Southeast Tanka people and explore their genetic relationship with surrounding indigenous Tai‐Kadai (TK), Hmong‐Mien (HM), and Austronesian (AN) people and Neolithic‐to‐historic ancients from the Yellow River Basin (YRB) and Fujian, we conducted a large‐scale population genomic study among 1498 modern and ancient Eurasians, in which 73 Tanka and 4 Han people were first reported here. Both allele‐shared and haplotype‐based statistical methods were used here, including PCA, ADMIXTURE, f‐statistics, ALDER, qpGraph/TreeMix and qpAdm/qpWave, ChromoPainter, and fineSTRUCTURE.

Results

We found a specific genetic cline in PCA plots and detected the Tanka‐specific homogeneous ancestry in model‐based ADMIXTURE, suggesting differentiated demographic history between Tanka and surrounding Hans. Formal tests based on sharing allele patterns showed a close relationship between Tanka people and Han Chinese, but the Tanka population harbored more southern indigenous East Asian ancestry related to AA/HM/TK people compared with southern Hans. Besides, the reconstructed differentiated demographic history revealed that southern Xinshizhou Tankas harbored more ancestry related to the TK people or coastal ancient Neolithic to Bronze Age southern East Asians compared with northern Shacheng Tankas. The qpGraph−/TreeMix‐based phylogenetic framework, qpAdm/qpWave‐based admixture modeling among ancient northern and southern East Asians and fineSTRUCTURE‐based dendrogram further demonstrated that the primary ancestry of modern Tankas derived from ancient millet farmers in the YRB with additional admixture from multiple southern East Asian sources.

Discussion

Sharing ancestry estimated from the f‐statistics and sharing haplotypic landscape inferred from the ChromoPainter and fineSTRUCTURE showed that Southeast Tanka people not only had a close genetic relationship with both northern Hans and YRB millet farmers but also possessed southern East Asian ancestry related to AA/HM/TK speakers. Our genomic data and fitted admixture models supported modern Tanka originated from ancient North China and obtained additional gene flow from ancient southern East Asians in the processes of southward migrations.

Exploring functional substrates and precisely regulating the electronic structures of atomic metal active species with moderate spin state are of great importance yet remain challenging. Hereon, we provide an axial Fe‐O‐Ti ligand regulated spin‐state transition strategy to improve the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of Fe centers. Theoretical calculations indicate that Fe‐O‐Ti ligands in FeN3O‐O‐Ti can induce a low‐to‐medium spin‐state transition and optimize O2adsorption by FeN3O. As a proof‐of‐concept, the oriented catalyst was prepared from atomic‐Fe‐doped polymer‐like quantum dots and ultrathin o‐terminated MXene. The optimal catalyst exhibits an intrinsic activity that is almost 5 times higher than the control sample (without axial Fe‐O‐Ti ligands). It also delivers a superior performance in Zn‐air batteries and H2/O2anion exchange membrane fuel cells in a wide‐temperature range.

Published: March 2022

In recent years, asymmetric catalysis of ynamides has attracted much attention, but these reactions mostly constructed central chirality, except for a few examples on the synthesis of axially chiral compounds which exclusively relied on noble‐metal catalysis. Herein, a facile access to axially chiralN‐heterocycles enabled by chiral Brønsted acid‐catalyzed 5‐endo‐digcyclization of ynamides is disclosed, which represents the first metal‐free protocol for the construction of axially chiral compounds from ynamides. This method allows the practical and atom‐economical synthesis of valuableN‐arylindoles in excellent yields with generally excellent enantioselectivities. Moreover, organocatalysts and ligands based on such axially chiralN‐arylindole skeletons are demonstrated to be applicable to asymmetric catalysis.
