Darkness and Death in the U.S.: Walking Distances Across the Nation by Time of Day and Time of Year
Authors: Vellimana Maithreyi , Kockelman Kara
Published: November 2023

This paper examines walk distances across the United States by time of day and year, using data from the National Household Travel Survey 2016/2017, to understand factors contributing to higher pedestrian deaths at night across various states. Hurdle regression predict daily walk-miles traveled (WMT) and nighttime WMT to show how decision to walk and distances walked on each survey day and night vary significantly with demographic attributes, time of year, latitude, state of residence, and other factors. Longer daylight hours and more nighttime walking do not appear to be the reasons for some states’ much higher pedestrian fatality rates.

The results showed that considering the monthly precipitation and temperature data, the distribution of the product of Inverse Pareto and Exponential outperformed the other existing distribution of the product.
RUSYA-UKRAYNA SAVAŞINDA ÜÇÜNCÜ DEVLETLERCE ALINAN ÖNLEMLER
Authors: ÇALIŞKAN Ayla
Published: November 2023

Karşı önlem, uluslararası haksız fiil sahibi bir devleti uluslararası yükümlülüklerini yerine getirmeye yöneltmek için başvurulan bir zorlama yoludur. Karşı önlemin hukuka uygun olması için mağdur devlet tarafından haksız fiil sahibi devlete yönelik alınması ve ona borçlu olduğu yükümlülüklerin yerine getirilmemesi şeklinde uygulanması gerekmektedir.

Karşı önlemler ve başvuru koşulları, Uluslararası Hukuk Komisyonu’nun 2001 yılında kabul edilen “Devletlerin Uluslararası Hukuka Aykırı Fiillerinden Doğan Sorumluluğu”na ilişkin maddeler metninde detaylı olarak düzenlenmiştir. Ancak Metnin “mağdur devletten başka devletlerce alınan önlemler” başlıklı 54. maddesinde “karşı önlemler” yerine “hukuka uygun önlemler” ifadesine yer verildiğinden, üçüncü devletlerin, bir bütün olarak uluslararası topluluğa yönelik bir ihlal gerekçesiyle sorumlu devlete yönelik karşı önlem alıp alamayacağı halen tartışılan bir meseledir.

Bu makale, Rusya’nın Ukrayna’ya saldırısı üzerine Ukrayna dışındaki üçüncü devletlerce kararlaştırılıp uygulanan önlemlerin hukuki niteliği meselesi üzerine yoğunlaşmıştır. Çalışmada öncelikle, Rusya’nın Ukrayna’ya saldırıları üzerine AB üyesi devletler ile İsviçre, ABD, İngiltere, Kanada ve Avustralya tarafından bu fiillere cevaben alınan önlemler sıralanacak, ardından “bir bütün olarak uluslararası topluluğa yönelik bir yükümlülüğün ihlali” sebebiyle üçüncü devletlerce alınan önlemlerin hukuki niteliği tartışılacaktır.

Authors: Beshiru Abeni , Uwhuba Kate Enoh
Published: November 2023

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) stands as a prominent bacterial pathogen associated with various human infections, characterized by its remarkable ability to rapidly develop resistance to multiple antibiotics. The study aimed to characterize MRSA isolated from wounds among hospital patients. A total of eighty-seven unique S. aureus isolates were obtained from wound cultures collected from patients at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) in Benin City, Nigeria. These samples underwent assessment for methicillin resistance through conventional cultural methods, and detection of methicillin resistance (mecA) and S. aureus specific (nuc) genes using PCR amplification. The MRSA isolates underwent assessment for antimicrobial resistance through disc diffusion testing and for virulence factors using phenotypic testing procedures. An overall prevalence of 34/87 (39.1%) MRSA isolates was recorded. Based on the source of the isolate, the distribution of MRSA isolates from in-patients was 22/56 (39.3%) and out-patients was 12/31 (39.7%). Total Panton valentine leucocidin (PVL) screening revealed 11/34 (32.4%). All the isolates were resistant to penicillin 34/34 (100%) and cefepime 34/34 (100%). Lower level of resistance was demonstrated towards ciprofloxacin 3/34 (8.8%). Overall, every isolate displayed resistance to at least three antibiotics, resulting in a multiple antimicrobial resistance index of at least 0.33. The total virulence factors observed were beta-hemolytic activity 22/34 (64.7%), protease activity 14/34 (41.2%), and lipase activity 19/34 (55.9%). This study emphasized the significance of regularly monitoring MRSA prevalence within both the hospital and the local community. Therefore, the need for better intervention and continuous enlightenment on risks associated with the abuse...

Study of the Culicoides (Insecta, Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) Fauna in Nakhchivan
Authors: Bayramov A. , Maharramov M.
Published: November 2023

During hydrobiological studies in the Nakhchivan territory, 15 species of midge larvae were found in macrozoobenthos of different types of water bodies. The Culicoides genus prevails by the number of species (10 species). The number of Culicoides nubeculosus and C. longicollislarvae in lakes, rivers, springs and small water bodies of the region amounted to 3-21 spec./m2. During the warm period of the year, these two similar in appearance larvae were permanent organisms of water bodies at all altitudinal belts of the region. The distribution pattern of larvae across altitudinal belts was established; the number of species and density per habitat unit decreased from lowlands to altitudinal zones. Water and air temperature are the main factors determining the seasonal dynamics of the development of midges larvae. Considering that Ceratopogonidae larvae lead an aquatic lifestyle and have a wide variety of breeding centers, it is preferable to carry out appropriate control measures against adult biting midges.

Authors: Kudaiberdiev A. , Niyazov A.K. , Mamyshov A. , Zhynzhyrov B. , Niyazov A.A. , Osmonbekova N.
Published: November 2023

A brief analysis of literature data is presented. The lack of a unified approach to assessing identified parasitic pathology and the increasing complexity of determining the frequency of complications determine the relevance of the topic under consideration. The leading method for diagnosing echinococcosis is ultrasound, and only some patients have difficulty determining the nature of the disease. For the purpose of differential diagnosis, ultrasound angiography is used, which includes a number of vascular visualization methods. As a result, the authors conclude that only the use of instrumental data makes it possible to timely determine the nature of the disease, localization, size and complication of echinococcosis.

Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the professional competence of students in distance learning conditions. Significant interest in the development of distance education allows us to conclude that the topic of developing the professional competence of students in the conditions and need for independent cognitive activity is in demand. The article examines the main ways of developing students’ professional competence based on cognitive independence — as one of the components of lifelong education in the conditions of distance learning. One of the conditions for the effective functioning of the distance learning system at a university is the preparation of employees and students to work in a virtual educational environment. Students’ mastery of methods of independent cognitive activity is due to the fact that during the training period the foundations of professionalism and competence are laid, and skills of independent professional activity are formed. Based on the results of the study, recommendations were developed for developing the professional competence of students in distance learning.

Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the issue of correlation between the innovative activities of universities, which are federal innovation platforms, with the uniqueness of the results of their work, expressed in the form of electronic educational resources. The novelty (uniqueness) of an electronic educational resource is determined based on its demand in the educational services market to improve the quality of education and training in demand in the country. The commercialized demand for an electronic educational resource in the educational services market, which brings profit in the form of improving the quality of training of specialists, confirms the innovativeness of the university’s activities. The uniqueness (novelty) of an electronic educational resource is established during the process of its registration in the “Science and Education” United Fund of Electronic Resources. An electronic educational resource is assessed as meeting the requirement of novelty if, based on a combination of 17 indicators of consumer-oriented properties, it has no analogues in the foundation database.
War and Peace in Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egypt
Authors: Sherkova T.
Published: November 2023

The process of formation of the first state in ancient Egypt was very long. From chiefdoms to regional, and then all-Egyptian kings, the entire predynastic period took place, from the 4th millennium B.C., when the Nagada culture developed in Southern Egypt. The largest were local territories in Hierakonpolis, Nagada and Abydos. Already in the Nagada I phase, there were social elites under a leader — in chiefdoms, and in the Nagada II phase, institutions of regional kings arose in social property societies. In protodynastic times, during the Nagada III phase, significant changes occurred. The leaders of Hierakonpolis, Nagada and Abydos became the collectors of all Egyptian lands, assimilating the Lower Nile. For a long time in Egyptology, it was believed that already in early times there were two kingdoms in Egypt: The Northern in Lower Egypt and the Southern in the Nile Valley. The Palermo Stone depicts the red-crowned kings of Lower Egypt. And in a fragment from the Cairo Museum, they are already wearing a double crown: the white crown of Southern Egypt is inserted into the red crown of the Lower. And this is evidence of the unification of Egypt into a single kingdom. But who were these first Egyptian kings? Modern archaeological excavations in combination with long-known artifacts allow us to reinterpret these dark pages of the creation of the first dual state. It is believed that the Lower Egypt was annexed to Upper Egypt in protodynastic times. In this article, the author hypothesizes that from late predynastic times, the Northern Kingdom was headed by elites who were appointed by the king of a united Egypt.

Introduction: Allergy is a type Ⅰ hypersensitivity reaction to certain substances (allergens) such as environmental factors, food and drugs. Allergies are a significant public health issue, and therefore, understanding the distribution patterns of allergens in specific regions is important. This study aimed to retrospectively analyse allergen distribution patterns in Central Taiwan over a 5 years period (2018–2022).

Methods: Data of patients who had allergen sensitization testing using the OPTIGEN® Allergen-Specific IgE Assay from the 1st of January 2018 to the 31st of December 2022 were reviewed retrospectively. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the prevalence and distribution of allergens in our study population.

Results: A total of 8,444 patients (3,784 males and 4,660 females) who attended the Asia University Hospital for allergen detection were enrolled in this study. Dermatophagoides farina (41.8%), Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (37.9%), house dust (24.6%), cockroach mix (17.7%), crab (12.6%), clam (9.8%), shrimp (9.1%), cat dander (8.1%), pig weed (8%) and peanut (7.8%) were identified as the ten allergens that most commonly induced sensitization in our study population. Additionally, crab, clam, shrimp, peanut and beef were the five most common food allergens.

Conclusion: In summary, our findings contribute significantly to the knowledge on allergen distribution in Central Taiwan. Our identification of prevalent allergens may contribute to an improved understanding of the epidemiology of allergies in this region.

Aim

Zinc deficiencies are widespread in many soils, limiting crop growth and contributing to Zn deficiencies in human diets. This study aimed at understanding soil factors influencing grain Zn concentrations and uptake of crops grown in different landscape positions in West Amhara, Ethiopia.

Methods

On-farm experiments were conducted in three landscape positions, with five farmers’ fields as replicates in each landscape position, and at three sites. Available Zn from the soil (Mehlich 3, M3, Zn) and applied fertilizer (NET_FERT Zn, estimated based on adsorption/desorption characteristics and applied Zn) were related to the actual grain Zn concentration and uptake of teff, wheat, and maize. Zinc fertilizer treatments tested were Zn applied at planting (basal), basal plus side dressing and a control with no Zn applied.

Results

Zn treatments had a significant effect on grain Zn concentration (increase by up to 10%) but the effect on grain yield was variable. Differences in crop Zn concentrations along the landscape positions were observed but not at all sites and crops. Trial results showed that soils with higher soil pH and Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) (typical of footslope landscape positions) tended to adsorb more applied Zn (reduce NET_FERT Zn) than soils with lower soil pH and SOC (typical of upslope landscape positions). Zn availability indicators (M3, NET_FERT Zn, clay%) explained 14-52% of the observed variation in grain Zn concentrations, whereas macronutrient indicators (Total N, exchangeable K) together with M3 Zn were better in predicting grain Zn uptake (16 to 32% explained variability). Maize had the lowest grain Zn concentrations but the highest grain Zn uptake due to high yields.

Conclusion

We found that the sum of indigenous and fertilizer Zn significantly affects grain Zn loadings of cereals and that the associated soil parameters differ between and within landscape positions. Therefore, knowledge of soil properties and crop characteristics helps to understand where agronomic biofortification can be effective.
Science is the fuel required for lifting ecosystem restoration into the orbit of hundreds of millions of hectares

Published: November 2023

Restoring the hundreds of millions of hectares of degraded ecosystems worldwide will require new approaches to raise the required funds and new systems to implement at the required scales. Two decades of large-scale restoration in the subtropical thicket biome in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, have generated valuable information for developing such approaches and systems. The successful upscaling of restoration in this biome can be attributed to four main actions. First, from the outset in 2003, peer-reviewed science was foundational to the entire restoration initiative. Second, also from the outset, there was a commitment to large-scale, long-term ecological research by the public sector (the then Department of Water Affairs and Forestry in South Africa), which resulted in what is to our knowledge the world’s largest ecosystem restoration experiment, comprising 330 quarter-hectare plots distributed over ∼75,000 km2. Third, retrospective scientific description of previous restoration work — done by farmers in the 1960s and 1970s — provided valuable information on restoration’s multiple benefits, without having to wait for the large-scale restoration experiment to yield results. Lastly, diverse and short-term scoping studies were undertaken to address questions that emerged during the large-scale implementation of restoration. These studies were vital for rapid adaptive management and planning new scientific experiments, filling a gap between long-term ecological research and retrospective science.
Implementation of the multielectrode radiofrequency-balloon in real-world clinical practice—operator learning curve and procedural outcome at a high-volume center

Published: November 2023

Background

The novel multielectrode radiofrequency (RF) balloon catheter (HELIOSTAR™. Biosense Webster) is a new technology for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in atrial fibrillation (AF), combining RF-ablation and 3D-mapping visualization with the concept of a “single-shot”-ablation device. This study evaluates the operator learning curve und procedural outcome during implementation of the multielectrode RF-balloon at a high-volume center.

Methods

The first 40 patients undergoing PVI by multielectrode RF-balloon catheter at Heidelberg University Hospital were included in this prospective study. Procedural outcome was analyzed over the course of increasing experience with the device.

Results

157/157 pulmonary veins (PVs) were successfully isolated with the RF-balloon catheter, in 73.2% by a single RF-application. Median time to isolation (TTI) was 11.0 s (Q1 = 8.0 s; Q3 = 13.8 s). Median procedure time was 62.5 min (Q1 = 50.0 min; Q3 = 70.5 min). LA-dwell time was 28.5 min (Q1 = 23.3 min; Q3 = 36.5 min). Median fluoroscopy duration was 11.6 min (Q1 = 10.1 min; Q3 = 13.7 min). No serious procedure-related complications were observed, apart from one case of unclear, post-procedural acute-on-chronic kidney injury. With increasing operator experience, an additional reduction in procedure duration was observed.

Conclusion

Rapid implementation of a “single shot”-ablation device combining RF-ablation and 3D-mapping can be achieved with high acute procedural efficacy and safety at a high-volume center. Previous experience with “single-shot” ablation devices may be advantageous for time-efficient introduction of the novel RF-balloon catheter into clinical practice.

Objective

We aimed to evaluate the effects of different exercise rehabilitation (ER) programs on LVEF and the incidence of restenosis in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through a systematic review and an integrated network meta-analysis (NMA) to provide a reference for the clinical formulation of ER programs for PCI patients.

Methods

Meta-analyses of the effects of different types of ER programs on LVEF and the incidence of reinfarction in post-PCI patients were retrieved from 11 domestic and foreign databases. The methodological and reporting quality of the included systematic reviews were evaluated using the AMSTAR 2 and PRISMA statements. The GRADE scoring system was used to evaluate the quality of evidence found in the studies included in the meta-analysis, and studies with high and intermediate-quality evidence were qualitatively analyzed. Stata software (version 16.0) was used to conduct an integrated NMA of the original RCTs with moderate and low risk of bias.

Result

Sixteen meta-analyses were included in this evaluation. The reporting quality of the included meta-analyses was relatively complete, and the methodological quality was low. Seventy RCTs were included in the NMA. The results showed that all types of rehabilitative exercises were safe and effectively increased LVEF and reduced the incidence of coronary restenosis in patients. The comprehensive exercise program was the most likely to improve LVEF, and the comprehensive exercise program, early exercise program, and high-intensity interval exercise were better than aerobic exercise. Comprehensive exercise programs, early exercise programs, and aerobic exercise reduced the incidence of restenosis in patients. However, Chinese Qigong did not reduce the incidence of restenosis in patients, and there was a risk of bias and inconsistency in the quantitative analysis of restenosis incidence.

Conclusion

Comprehensive exercise programs have the greatest therapeutic significance in improving cardiac output and reducing restenosis rates in post-PCI patients. The early exercise program has great potential but requires kinesiologists to work with physicians to structure the program and strengthen out-of-hospital management. Aerobic exercise has the least therapeutic significance, and Chinese Qigong is suitable for promotion based on its better efficacy than aerobic exercise and may be an alternative to aerobic exercise, but more experimental evidence is needed.
