Hyponatremia: evaluation and management
Authors:   Faculté de Médecine, Université Hadj Lakhdar, Batna– Algérie., Lalmi Ziad
Published: May 2021

Hyponatremia is a frequent and often misdiagnosed condition, characterized by frequent mismanagement in the hospital. Many causes are found, including two main mechanisms: a defect in water excretion, an appropriate secretion of ADH, or an over-supply of water. Diagnostic procedures include classification according to the severity and the presence or the absence of symptoms, which guides the therapeutic management, as well as the state of the extra-cell hydration and the plasma and urine osmolarity, which allows the definition of a cause and the direction of therapeutics. Management is mainly etiological but includes also symptomatic measures, which should be careful because rapid correction could be as dangerous as Hyponatremia itself.

Authors: Lowe Gillian A.
Published: May 2021

Background: Research on depression among Caribbean children has been limited by the lack of valid and reliable screening measures of depression. Aims: This project explores the reliability and the validity of the Major Depressive Disorder sub-scale (MDDS) of the Revised Child Anxiety & Depression Scale (RCADS), in a group of students attending elementary schools in Jamaica and Barbados. Method: Students enrolled in grade six (n = 759; 50.9% females, 49.1% males; mean age = 10.7 years + 0.66) were administered the Revised Child Anxiety & Depression Scale -Major Depressive Disorder sub-scale (RCADS-MDDS) along with the Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale- 11 (KADS-11), the Adolescent Depression Rating Scale (ADRS) the Visual Analogue Scale – State Anxiety (VAS-SA) and the Visual Analogue Scale – Trait Anxiety (VAS-TA). The study cohort was divided into private and public elementary school students prior to analyses. A cross validation method was utilised to explore the psychometric properties of the scales by first, conducting analyses using the public school students’ responses and then replicated using those of their private school peers. Results: Overall, the RCADS-MDDS was found to have an acceptable level of internal consistency reliability (α = 0.70, public: α = 0.76, private). The scale also had good concurrent validity as evidenced by strong correlations with scores on the KADS-11 and the ADRS and acceptable discriminant validity as demonstrated by weak correlations with the VAS-SA and the VAS-TA scores. Conclusion: The RCADS-MDDS is a valid screening measure for depression among elementary school children in Jamaica and Barbados.

Published: May 2021

The rapid spread of COVID-19 has already affected human lives throughout the globe. Governments of different countries have taken various measures, but how they affected people lives is not clear. In this study, a rule-based and a machine-learning based models are applied to answer the above question using public tweets from Japan, USA, UK, and Australia. Two polarity timeseries (meanPol and pnRatio) and two events, namely “lockdown or emergency (LED)” and “the economic support package (ESP)”, are considered in this study. Statistical testing on the sub-series around LED and ESP events showed their positive impacts to the people of (UK and Australia) and (USA and UK), respectively unlike Japanese people that showed opposite effects. Manual validation with the relevant tweets shows an agreement with the statistical results. A case study with Japanese tweets using supervised logistic regression classifies tweets into heath-worry, economy-worry and other classes with 83.11% accuracy. Predicted tweets around events re-confirm the statistical outcomes.

Published: May 2021

Background: Although nitrates, are sometimes favorable to health, they can however convert to nitrosamines inside the body thanks to the acidic medium of gastrointestinal tract. So, the investigation of the nitrate content in food products becomes an imperative since it allows consumers to choose their food deliberately. Aims: The leaching kinetics of nitrates during water blanching of spinach leaf midribs (SLM) was investigated at different conditions of time and temperature. Material and Methods: The nitrate leaching kinetics, during the water blanching of SLM samples, was studied at 60, 70 and 80 °C; for 3 and 15 minutes. Presently, six models, namely Henderson and Pabis, logarithmic, zero order, Lewis, Page, Wang, and Singh were tested to analyze experimental data. Moreover, to elucidate the effect of the temperature on the nitrate diffusion rate, the equation of Arrhenius was applied. Results: Results showed that after 15 min of blanching, the removal rate (RR) of nitrates was of: 23.851 ± 3.477c, 64.809 ± 0.474b and 75.949 ± 5.366a % at 60, 70 and 80 °C, respectively; with a significant difference between values at (p ≤ 0.05). Furthermore, among the six tested models, the logarithmic model seemed to be the most appropriate (R2 > 0.993) to describe the diffusion kinetics of nitrates from food matrix into the blanching water, whatever the processing temperature. Finally, the activation energy (35.76 kJ. Mol-1), characterizing the nitrate leaching, was assessed based on the rate constant appearing in the most appropriate model. Conclusions: Blanching in water constitutes an effective tool for controlling the nitrate content in vegetables, by varying the time and temperature of treatment.

Keywords: Nitrate, quantification, spinach leaf midribs, blanching, modeling.

Published: May 2021

The opportunities for the national textile industry depend on the ability to compete with producers from other countries. Not only in the world market but also in the domestic market. This is indicated by the flood of imported textile products, especially from China, which offers low prices for their products. However, local textile products are still able to compete because they have better quality. PT. Sinar Pangjaya Mulia is an export-oriented textile company engaged in the manufacture of various types of fabrics with the main products being rayon, polyester and cotton fabrics. In carrying out its production, PT. Sinar Pangjaya Mulia is still unable to perform optimal forecasting and efficient production planning as the basis for carrying out production activities, so all planning in the company is carried out suddenly. This has caused problems in the production activities carried out by the company in determining the production, machines and time needed to fulfill demand. To overcome these conditions, the company must be able to compile a demand forecast and production planning as a statement regarding how much demand is in a certain period and when the production demand must be made. From the results of data processing, it can be seen that the demand for fabrics produced for these three product items is within the next one year. Demand in January 2012 was 106,277 kg of rayon, 41,586 kg of polyester cloth and 78,552 kg of cotton, while the production planning for January 2012 was 226,415 kg with an inventory value of 80,000 kg, so in the January 2012 period there were no additional hours. /working days.

Availability of safe drinking water is a prerequisite for survival and safeguard against various water-borne diseases. The study was carried out with an aim to check the efficacy of water purifier systems by assessing the bacteriological and physico-chemical parameters (temperature, turbidity, pH, TDS, chloride, total hardness, dissolved oxygen, and free CO2) in industrial RO water samples from various outlets at Maitreyi College and household RO and filtered water samples from two residential areas (Satya Niketan and Geeta Colony) located in Delhi, India. The results obtained were compared with the standard values set by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for safe drinking water. Out of total 29 samples analyzed for various physico-chemical parameters, the values of most of the samples were found to be within permissible range. The values of some parameters for drinking water samples collected from filter and RO purifier installed at Geeta colony were above the maximum limit which can pose serious threats to health. The bacteriological examination was assessed by the Most Probable Number (MPN) test and the results of EMB agar plates showed that there is probability of presence of coliform bacteria in 3 samples. The results obtained signify that it is important to check the purity of drinking water at regular intervals irrespective of the fact that it is filtered. Also, it is imperative to ensure regular maintenance of purifier systems installed as they themselves might be the source of impurity.

Authors: Singh Smriti , Bagai Srijla
Published: May 2021

The viewpoint of disability is important for comprehending and building social justice for everyone in the society. However, despite this fact, public health experts and policy makers choose to ignore this viewpoint. The understanding of the disabled and their disability rights is equally important in terms of Covid-19 policy-making process. This research article attempts to look at the disability ethics, understanding the discrimination in the structure, to inculcate respect for disabled and develop ways to safeguard the disabled community in the coronavirus pandemic. During such crises of care, the allocation of resources is not being done appropriately according to a disabled person’s requirements and quality of life. There is a need to avoid the stereotypes about disability while providing educational or medical facilities. Recruiting more professional healthcare workers, teachers, and accessible reading material that can be helpful for the disabled people is important at this point of time. Removal of prejudices and safeguarding of the equal protection of every individual’s interests, including those with disabilities is what this paper would analyse and discuss.

Authors: Alwan Hassan A.
Published: May 2021

The aim of this project is to remove or eliminate the effect of the highly toxic gas of H2S on the health of personal, environment, drilling fluid reology, and drilling equipment materials by adding an economic mixture of sulphide scavengers to the contaminated drilling fluid. In this research mixture of 14.7 gm/l of iron oxide in the form of magnetite (Fe3O4) and 14.7 gm/l of ferrous oxalate Fe(C2O4), which cost is 1.3 US$ per 1kg of mixture, was used to remove the all forms of soluble sulphides (H2S, HS-, S2-) from water-base drilling fluid. The Fe3O4 reacts with dissolved H2S and the reaction carry on fast at pH below 8, while Fe(C2O4) reacts with HS-, S2- and this reaction proceed at high rate at pH above 8. Both reactions produce insoluble iron sulphides. The chemical analysis showed that the soluble species of sulphides in the drilling fluid, which its pH was 7.9, were present as dissolved H2S gas and as bisulphide ions (HS-). The analysis also explained that the total concentration of these sulphides in the drilling fluid was 3000 ppm. The results of treatment of contaminated fluid showed that all forms of sulphides were removed from drilling fluid after adding the mixture of scavengers to the contaminated fluid. The results also explained that the drilling fluid reology recovered after removing the soluble sulphides, which were the main factors that effect on the drilling fluid reology, from the drilling fluid.
Petroleum Investment Patterns in Iraq The Transition Period (2003-2012)
Authors: Shaalan Hisham Yas
Published: May 2021

Iraq has huge oil and gas resources in terms of hydrocarbon reserves and high levels of expected production and export capabilities. Since 2003, dramatic political and economic changes have occurred, and these changes have affected the nature of, and trends within the Iraqi economy, mainly the petroleum industry which is the backbone of the Iraqi economy. There has been a radical shift in economic philosophy, to encourage new petroleum investment trends whereby the role of government is reduced and that of International Companies is enhanced, with the adoption of new investment patterns in upstream and downstream activities. These changes have occurred over a transition period for the institutional legal framework after 2003, and have introduced unprecedented patterns in most Iraqi petroleum activities. The subject of this paper is the fundamental changes in investment in relation to the Iraqi petroleum industry. The purpose of this paper is to examine the current and expected patterns of petroleum investment in Iraq into upstream and downstream activities during the period of 2003 2012.

Published: May 2021

As a method of function approximation, polynomial fitting has always been the main research hotspot in mathematical modeling. In many disciplines such as computer, physics, biology, neural networks have been widely used, and most of the applications have been transformed into fitting problems using neural networks. One of the main reasons that neural networks can be widely used is that it has a certain sense of universal approximation. In order to fit the polynomial, this paper constructs a three-layer feedforward neural network, uses Taylor series as the activation function, and determines the number of hidden layer neurons according to the order of the polynomial and the dimensions of the input variables. For explicit polynomial fitting, this paper uses non-linear functions as the objective function, and compares the fitting effects under different orders of polynomials. For the fitting of implicit polynomial curves, the current popular polynomial fitting algorithms are compared and analyzed. Experiments have proved that the algorithm used in this paper is suitable for both explicit polynomial fitting and implicit polynomial fitting. The algorithm is relatively simple, practical, easy to calculate, and can efficiently achieve the fitting goal. At the same time, the computational complexity is relatively low, which has certain application value.

Motivation Practices and Employee Discipline of Selected Federal Paramilitary Agencies in South West, Nigeria
Authors: A. T. Ogunkanmi
Published: May 2021

Motivation is imperative for employee discipline, as it is also critical to the success and survival of organisations. Some scholars are of the opinion that the most difficult factor, of all the factors of production in the organisation, is the human element. In the same vein human beings are considered as the most important assets of organization. Employee's behaviours, such as discipline and indiscipline affect the image of organisations both positively and negatively. The image of the organisation may be damaged by acts of indiscipline exhibited by employees. Such acts may include, lateness, laziness, leaking of official secrets, going against the rules and regulations of the organisation, brutality, corrupt practices and general misconducts.Indiscipline among employees is a common phenomenon and it contributes to the negative images of many organisations. The high level of indiscipline among paramilitary officers is also a global issue. The study adopted quantitative research technique, with a study population of 22,235 personnel of selected paramilitary agencies in South-West, Nigeria. One thousand copies of validated questionnaires were used for collection of responses from respondents. The response rate was 91%, and data collected were analyzed by employing both descriptive and inferential methods. The result of the study confirmed that motivation had positive effect on employee discipline of the selected Federal paramilitary agencies in South-West, Nigeria.
Teaching English as a Lingua Franca in Brazil: Insights into Materials Writing
Authors: Franco Claudio de Paiva
Published: May 2021

In this paper, I intend to examine the main English as a lingua franca (ELF) issues discussed in the National Common Curricular Base (Brasil, 2018) and compare them to the views put forward by mainstream scholars in the field (Baker, 2016, 2018; Dewey, 2007; Jenkins, 2006, 2012, 2015; Pennycook, 2006, 2009; Widdowson, 1994). In addition, as a researcher and creator of teaching materials, I intend to share some insights into materials writing by presenting the main strategies adopted in writing a series of English textbooks for pre-teens, evaluated and approved for distribution by the Brazilian Textbook Program, that I have written with Tavares (Franco & Tavares, 2018). Therefore, I hope this article may help shed light on developing and implementing materials that adopt an ELF-oriented approach in a scenario created by the legislation and the selection of textbooks that seems to be promising for the establishment of the ELF paradigm in Brazil.

A total labellings of m triangles
Authors: Chen Huey Voon
Published: May 2021

Assume that we have $m$ triangles. In this paper, we discuss certain labelling of the $m$ triangles called $c$-Erd\"osian for some positive integers $c$. We regard labellings of the vertices of the triangles by positive integers, which induce the edge labels for the triangles as the sum of the two incident vertex labels. They have the property that each vertex label and edge label appears only once in the set of positive integers $\{c,\ldots ,c+6m-1\}$. Here, we show how to construct certain $c$-Erd\"osian of $m$ triangles.
