Challenges in rabbit doe feeding, including the young doe
Authors: Martínez-Paredes Eugenio , Nicodemus Nuria , Pascual Juan José , García Javier
Published: March 2022

In this review is summarized the last knowledge on rabbit doe nutrition, to complement the current nutritional requirements and strategies for the young and adult rabbit does, considering the production, health, and welfare issues. The rabbit doe must reach an adequate maturity level (body condition) at first artificial insemination (AI) to face its productive life with minimal guarantees (around 7.0 mm of perirenal fat thickness, 2.8 ng/mL of plasma leptin concentration and around 18% and 15-20% of body protein and fat, respectively). This goal can be achieved by restricting feed intake from 12 weeks of age until first AI or feeding ad libitum with a fibrous diet (<10.5 MJ digestible energy/kg) from 60 d of age to first parturition. Once the doe is reproducing, the increase of the n-3 fatty acids (or reduction of the n-6/n-3 ratio), soluble fibre (under epizootic enteropathy) and the Arg/Lys and Gln/Lys ratios may help to improve the reproductive traits of rabbit does, although their optimal level of inclusion remain to be identified. It is recommended to limit an excessive negative energy balance before parturition, and the supplementation of glucose precursors to reduce the ketosis incidence could be useful. The formulation of different diets for the doe and the litter to fit better their requirements and assuring their health would be an option to consider when it would be applicable in the farm. The influence of the mother on the litter microbiota and immune status and its potential modulation through the diet open a new research area that will deserve more studies in the next future.
What landscape aspects may have been important to Eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus spp.) game farms during the Mid-20th Century in the United States?
Authors: Gilcrease Kelsey
Published: March 2022

The Eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) was an iconic game species during the mid-20thcentury in the United States. Game farms were set up to produce additional cottontail numbers for hunting purposes; however, for various reasons, many game farms were unable to propagate the necessary additional numbers of cottontails needed. The purpose of this paper is to review the landscape factors involved and offer recommendations on the importance of a landscape perspective with the use of game farms under a historical mid-20th century perspective. The results of this paper show that areas with more regional spatial scales and more than one game farm reared more cottontails and harvested than the single county, single game farm scenarios and soil for plant growth, topography and relief, and edges and boundaries of landscapes were some of the main landscape attributes that could have been important for the historical cottontail game farms. Further research could examine the number of game farms, suggestions for plot number and size, and landscape barriers to disturbance in order to help mitigate threats to cottontail game populations.
Aspects of social behaviour and reproduction in the wild rabbit – Implications for rabbit breeding?
Authors: Rödel Heiko Georg
Published: March 2022

Further knowledge on aspects of social behaviour in the wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), including the link to reproduction, could possibly point to new ways to improve housing and breeding conditions in rabbit farming. In this review, I present some results of our long-term study on a 2-hectare field enclosure population of wild rabbits (University of Bayreuth, Germany), exploring group-level and individual-level differences in agonistic behaviour of females and their potential associations with reproductive traits, including offspring survival. The frequency of agonistic behaviour in which females were involved, increased with increasing group size, and was lower in groups with a more heterogeneous age structure. At the individual level, reproducing females were involved in more agonistic interactions when groupmates gave birth and thus built their burrows and nests at around the same time, and higher-ranking mothers were particularly aggressive when other females approached close to their nursery burrows. Associations between females’ social environment and reproduction were evident, as the numbers of litters and offspring per female were lower at higher female densities, high-ranking females produced more offspring and had a lower offspring mortality than low-ranking ones, and cases of infanticide were lower in more stable groups, which we quantified by the more heterogeneous age structure of the females’ rank hierarchy in such groups. Furthermore, perinatal offspring mortality was increased in females with a delayed burrow and nest building activity, i.e. does that dug their nursery burrow and built their nest only during the last 24 h pre-partum, possibly driven by the more unfavourable social environment experienced by such females. Most importantly, our studies highlight the importance of the presence of litter siblings in improving an individual’s social environment, which resulted in an earlier onset of breeding in such females. Higher levels of positive social interactions with litter siblings were also associated with lower stress hormone (corticosterone) levels and with a better health status in terms of lower loads with an intestinal nematode. These findings on ameliorating effects of litter sibling presence in growing rabbits as well as in reproducing females may be a promising starting point worth further exploration in the context of group housing of domestic rabbits.

Published: March 2022

This study aims to find out the effect of hydrochloric acid curing concentration on the characteristics of rabbit bone gelatin and determine the level of hydrochloric acid concentration for the soaking process to produce the best characteristics of rabbit bone gelatin. The material used was 50 kg of Rex rabbit bones obtained from rabbit farms, HCl 4, 5 and 6% and distilled water. The rabbit skin was soaked in hydrochloricacid (4, 5 and 6%) for 4 d as treatment and replicated three times. Gelatin extraction was performed three times at temperatures of 65, 75 and 85°C for 4 h each time and the results obtained were filtered through filter paper. The filtrate was concentrated at 50°C for 5 h. The concentrated filtrate was then poured into a tray before drying in an oven at 50°C until dry. Milling was carried out until it became gelatin powder. This study used a completely randomised design with a unidirectional pattern, and if there was a significant difference, continued with Duncan’s multiple range test. The results showed that the rabbit bone gelatin yield was between 6.18-8.52%, moisture 8.08-8.45%, ash content 8.15-10.93%, pH 3.85-4, protein content 57.09-62.84%, fat content 0.04-0.27%, gel strength 74.47-129.09 bloom, viscosity 3.06-4.26 cP, thick point 10-12°C, melting point 33-35°C and the molecular weights were 85, 120, and 212.5 kDa. The characteristics of rabbit bone gelatin still meet the Standar Nasional Indonesia gelatin range. Curing treatment with 6% HCl gave the best gelatin characteristics.

Published: March 2022

Introduction

The study aim was to examine the effect of physiotherapy exercises on correcting the remaining ocular deviation after strabismus surgery.

Methods

A randomized interventional clinical trial was performed in the Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, among 40 patients with ocular deviation after strabismus surgery. The participants were randomly divided into an experimental group (n = 20) and a control group (n = 20). All subjects received usual medical care, while the experimental group performed different types of physiotherapy exercises for 2 sessions a week for 12 weeks. The near and far angles of ocular deviation were measured before and after the 12 weeks of treatment.

Results

A significant improvement was observed in the experimental group compared with the control group after 12 weeks of training. There was a reduction in the near angle (19.85 ± 4.09 to 15.4 ± 3.87; 22.41%) and far angle (19.65 ± 4.78 to 16.75 ± 3.9; 14.75%) in the experimental group, with no significant change of the near angle (20.5 ± 3.64 to 20.75 ± 3.19; 1.21%) or far angle (19.7 ± 2.97 to 19.95 ± 3.41; 1.26%) in the control group.

Conclusions

The application of different types of physiotherapy exercises can reduce ocular deviation, restore binocular function, and improve the cosmetic appearance in patients with remaining ocular deviation after strabismus surgery.

Published: March 2022

Introduction

To investigate the efficacy of biofeedback abdominal muscles training on the bladder control and the quality of life in paraplegic patients.

Methods

Overall, 60 male and female paraplegic patients aged 20–40 years were randomly divided into 2 groups. The patients in the study group were treated with abdominal muscles biofeedback strength training, and the control group received pelvic floor biofeedback strength training 2 times per week. The subjects in both groups were evaluated before and after the treatment by (1) measuring post-void urine residual volume, (2) overactive bladder questionnaire, the Arabic version.

Results

There was a significant difference between the 2 groups. In the study group, the urine residual volume decreased to the normal range and the quality of life questionnaire score decreased, which showed good improvement. In the control group, there was no significant difference, with minimal changes: the urine residual volume was still high and the quality of life questionnaire score remained high.

Conclusions

Abdominal muscles biofeedback training must be a main point in the bladder rehabilitation program for paraplegic patients as it decreases the urine residual volume and optimizes quality of life.

Published: March 2022

Introduction

Idiopathic subjective non-pulsating tinnitus (ISNPT) is a frustrating diagnosis to physicians owing to the limited effectiveness of traditional pharmacological approaches. This study aimed to investigate the effect of acupuncture on quality of life in elderly people with ISNPT.

Methods

Overall, 40 patients of both sexes with ISNPT lasting for > 3 consecutive months and aged 65 years participated in this study. They were assigned into the study and the control groups, 20 patients each. The study group received the prescribed medications in addition to manual acupuncture on the following acupoints: SJ 3, SJ 5, SJ 17, SJ 18, SJ 19, SJ 20, SJ 21, SJ 22, GB 2, GB 8, GB 20, LI 4, KI 3, and ST 36, for 30 minutes, 3 times/week for 4 weeks, while the control group received their prescribed medications only. All participants in both groups were assessed with the visual analogue score of tinnitus loudness (VASTL) and tinnitus severity index (TSI).

Results

No statistically significant changes were reported in VASTL or TSI in the control group, while in the study group, VASTL showed a high statistically significant decrease from 8.27 ± 1.45 to 3.20 ± 1.36 (p < 0.001) and TSI revealed a decrease from 44.30 ± 3.40 to 27.95 ± 4.18 (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

Acupuncture is a good adjunctive complementary therapy to ISNPT in the elderly.

Published: March 2022

Inclusive education, although it has been the subject of important questions for educational development, is a teaching modality that serves an audience with some type of special needs and that these deserve greater attention in the practice of teaching Chemistry. With technological advances, it is feasible to insert this resource in Chemistry Teaching as a support for teachers in the process of including students with autism and TDAH, being a promising resource for the performance of teaching and learning. Conducted through a bibliographic and field survey in order to collect information on the subject, TDIC’s in Chemistry Teaching as a proposal for the inclusion of autistic and TDAH students, in which it aimed to analyze the importance of technological tools both to help teachers in inclusive methodological practices such as promoting knowledge on the part of students, especially those with disabilities, enrolled in high school, providing relevant and more attractive classes. It is also based on the analysis of a questionnaire in order to evaluate the qualification of initial training of teachers for the inclusive process and how to use methodologies adapted to technological tools in Chemistry Teaching. Thus, it concludes that the TDIC’s promote essential resources to help Chemistry teachers to develop an inclusive education, providing meaningful classes to students and guaranteeing the right of citizenship to all.

Authors: Alizadeh Ghavidel Leila , Mousavi Farideh , Hashemi Hesam Sadat , Bagheri Masood
Published: March 2022

Background: Cystoid macular edema (CME) is the leading cause of permanent visual impairment in patients with uveitis, particularly in patients with intermediate uveitis (IU). This study was aimed at comparing the changes in the macular microvasculature in patients with IU with uveitic non-responsive CME and without macular edema.

Methods: In this case-control study, 55 eyes of patients with IU were assessed for macular microvascular structures, including vascular density, foveal avascular zone (FAZ) measurement, and vascular morphological changes, using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) with the AngioVue OCT-A system. We divided patients into the following two groups: the case group, including 30 eyes with IU-related non-responsive CME, and the control group, including 25 eyes with IU without macular edema.

Results: Participants in the case and control groups had comparable age (P = 0.753) and sex (P = 0.124) distributions. Superficial capillary plexus vessel density in the case group was significantly decreased in the whole image (P = 0.027) and the parafoveal area (P  = 0.001) compared to the control group. However, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of foveal superficial vessel density, deep capillary plexus vessel density, FAZ area, FAZ perimeter, FAZ acircularity index, or foveal vessel density in a 300-µm-wide annulus around the FAZ (all P > 0.05). Vascular morphological changes, such as the capillary tuft, telangiectatic vessels, or micro-aneurism, were not different in the overview images of the OCT-A printout between the two groups.

Conclusions: The mean superficial capillary plexus vessel density was lower in eyes with IU-related nonresponsive CME than in those without macular edema. We observed more cystoid spaces in SCP than in DCP. Microcystic changes in the inner retina and ischemia may be the underlying cause in eyes with nonresponsive CME. Future prospective longitudinal studies with healthy, matched controls are warranted to confirm our findings.

Published: March 2022

This paper deals with the fractional order multi-loop controller design for a distillation column. The idea is a generalization of the IMC-PID-FOF controller design method developed for monovariable systems to the distillation column model which is multivariable. The principle is based on the IMC paradigm and the choice of appropriate control configuration with minimum of interactions. The proposed method is illustrated with an example of a distillation column model taken from the literature.
Functional Modeling of an Industrial System
Authors: LARIT Khalid , ZENNIR Youcef , RODRIGUEZ Manuel
Published: March 2022

In steelworks, due to the complex nature of operations, systems, procedures and methods always involve a certain amount of risk. It is not possible to eliminate all hazards, so the goal is to eliminate and/or control high and critical potential hazards and reduce the rest of the hazards to the lowest reasonable risk level in order to protect workers and equipment against damage and to ensure the proper functioning of the production chain. Risk assessment involves identifying and analyzing the hazards, the sequences of events leading to the hazards, and the risk of hazardous events. The objective of this work is the functional modeling of steelworks of the steel complex of EL-MILIA JIJEL (ALGERIAN QATARI STEEL) and the application of risk analysis methods (STPA, D-Higraph) to identify, analyze the dangers and recommend the necessary control measures for them.

Published: March 2022

Abstract. Modelling the water transport along the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum is fundamental to estimating and predicting transpiration fluxes. A Finite-difference Ecosystem-scale Tree Crown Hydrodynamics model (FETCH3) for the water fluxes across the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum is presented here. The model combines the water transport pathways into one vertical dimension, and assumes that the water flow through the soil, roots, and above-ground xylem can be approximated as flow in porous media. This results in a system of three partial differential equations, resembling the Richardson–Richards equation, describing the transport of water through the plant system and with additional terms representing sinks and sources for the transfer of water from the soil to the roots and from the leaves to the atmosphere. The numerical scheme, developed in Python 3, was tested against exact analytical solutions for steady state and transient conditions using simplified but realistic model parameterizations. The model was also used to simulate a previously published case study, where observed transpiration rates were available, to evaluate model performance. With the same model setup as the published case study, FETCH3 results were in agreement with observations. Through a rigorous coupling of soil, root xylem, and stem xylem, FETCH3 can account for variable water capacitance, while conserving mass and the continuity of the water potential between these three layers. FETCH3 provides a ready-to-use open access numerical model for the simulation of water fluxes across the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum.
Uncertainty estimation with deep learning for rainfall–runoff modeling

Published: March 2022

Abstract. Deep learning is becoming an increasingly important way to produce accurate hydrological predictions across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Uncertainty estimations are critical for actionable hydrological prediction, and while standardized community benchmarks are becoming an increasingly important part of hydrological model development and research, similar tools for benchmarking uncertainty estimation are lacking. This contribution demonstrates that accurate uncertainty predictions can be obtained with deep learning. We establish an uncertainty estimation benchmarking procedure and present four deep learning baselines. Three baselines are based on mixture density networks, and one is based on Monte Carlo dropout. The results indicate that these approaches constitute strong baselines, especially the former ones. Additionally, we provide a post hoc model analysis to put forward some qualitative understanding of the resulting models. The analysis extends the notion of performance and shows that the model learns nuanced behaviors to account for different situations.
Future changes in the extratropical storm tracks and cyclone intensity, wind speed, and structure
Authors: Priestley Matthew D. K. , Catto Jennifer L.
Published: March 2022

Abstract. Future changes in extratropical cyclones and the associated storm tracks are uncertain. Using the new CMIP6 models, we investigate changes to seasonal mean storm tracks and composite wind speeds at different levels of the troposphere for the winter and summer seasons in both the Northern Hemisphere (NH) and Southern Hemisphere (SH). Changes are assessed across four different climate scenarios. The seasonal mean storm tracks are predicted to shift polewards in the SH and also in the North Pacific, with an extension into Europe for the North Atlantic storm track. Overall, the number of cyclones will decrease by ∼5 % by the end of the 21st century, although the number of extreme cyclones will increase by 4 % in NH winter. Cyclone wind speeds are projected to strengthen throughout the troposphere in the winter seasons and also summer in the SH, with a weakening projected in NH summer, although there are minimal changes in the maximum wind speed in the lower troposphere. Changes in wind speeds are concentrated in the warm sector of cyclones, and the area of extreme winds may be up to 40 % larger by the end of the century. The largest changes are seen for the SSP5-85 scenario, although a large amount of change can be mitigated by restricting warming to that seen in the SSP1-26 and 2-45 scenarios. Extreme cyclones show larger increases in wind speed and peak vorticity than the average-strength cyclones, with the extreme cyclones showing a larger increase in wind speed in the warm sector.
Differentiating lightning in winter and summer with characteristics of the wind field and mass field
Authors: Morgenstern Deborah , Stucke Isabell , Simon Thorsten , Mayr Georg J. , Zeileis Achim
Published: March 2022

Abstract. Lightning in winter (December–January–February, DJF) is rare compared to
lightning in summer (June–July–August, JJA) in central Europe north of
the Alps. The conventional explanation attributes the scarcity of lightning
in winter to seasonally low values of variables that create favorable conditions in summer. Here we systematically examine whether different meteorological processes are at play in winter. We use cluster analysis and principal component analysis and find physically meaningful groups in ERA5 atmospheric reanalysis data and lightning data for northern Germany. Two thunderstorm types emerged: wind-field thunderstorms and CAPE (convective available potential energy) thunderstorms. Wind-field thunderstorms are characterized by increased wind speeds, high cloud shear, large dissipation of kinetic energy in the boundary layer, and moderate temperatures. Clouds are close to the ground, and a relatively large fraction of the clouds are warmer than −10 ∘C. CAPE thunderstorms
are characterized by increased convective available potential energy (CAPE), the presence of convective inhibition (CIN), high temperatures, and accompanying large
amounts of water vapor. Large amounts of cloud-physics variables related to
charge separation such as ice particles or cloud base height further
differentiate both wind-field thunderstorms and CAPE thunderstorms.
Lightning in winter originates in wind-field thunderstorms, whereas lightning
in summer originates mostly in CAPE thunderstorms and only a small fraction
in wind-field thunderstorms.
Consequently, typical weather situations of wind-field thunderstorms in the
study area in northern Germany are strong westerlies with embedded cyclones. For CAPE thunderstorms, the area is typically on the anticyclonic side of a southwesterly jet.

Síndrome de intolerancia a múltiples medicamentos
Authors: Vallejos Narváez Álvaro , Acelas González Gabriel E. , Bogoyá Pérez Cristian C.
Published: March 2022

El síndrome de intolerancia a múltiples medicamentos (MDIS, por sus siglas en inglés) se caracteriza por la intolerancia a dos o más medicamentos no relacionados. Tiene una prevalencia baja y es común en pacientes con polifarmacia. A pesar de que las reacciones adversas a los medicamentos son muy frecuentes, es raro que los pacientes debuten con este síndrome, el cual tiene implicaciones clínicas de leves a graves que afectan su vida; de acuerdo con esto varían el abordaje y su manejo.

La sintomatología presentada varía desde síntomas gastrointestinales como reflujo gastroesofágico, dolores musculares y cefalea, hasta síntomas cutáneos; estos son los más frecuentes, tales como urticaria y erupciones maculopapulares o presentaciones menos comunes como el síndrome de Stevens-Johnson.

El MDIS es causado por una amplia variedad de fármacos; por ello el conocimiento del síndrome, así como un adecuado interrogatorio de los antecedentes del paciente, es necesario para realizar un diagnóstico oportuno e instaurar un manejo adecuado y preventivo, evitando reacciones adversas que pongan en riesgo su vida. Con los hallazgos del cuadro clínico en la paciente, y basados en los antecedentes alérgicos presentados anteriormente a diferentes medicamentos no relacionados entre ellos, más la presentación de un rash maculopapular generalizado posterior a la administración de trimetoprim/sulfametoxazol se realiza el diagnóstico de MDIS. Se decide cambiar de medicamento por fosfomicina, con una consecuente evolución favorable.

ЧИННИКИ КРИМІНАЛІЗАЦІЇ ПОСЯГАНЬ НА ЗЕМЕЛЬНІ РЕСУРСИ УКРАЇНИ В СУЧАСНИХ УМОВАХ
Authors: Шульга Андрій Михайлович
Published: March 2022

У статті розглядаються основні питання підстав встановлення кримінальної відповідальності за суспільно небезпечні і протиправні діяння, що вчиняються щодо земельних ресурсів. Актуальним визнається виявлення соціально-правової зумовленості кримінально-правової норми та визначення залежно від її змісту, конкретних соціальних умов, які складалися і існують сьогодні. Своєю чергою норми, якими встановлюється кримінальна відповідальність за суспільно небезпечні посягання на земельні ресурси, потребують теоретичного осмилення і розуміння з позиції її соціальної зумовленості та змісту. Необхідність дослідження цього питання зумовлена також конституційним закріплення положення про те, що земля є головним елементом довкілля, основним національним багатством країни і знаходиться під особливою охороною держави (ст. 14 Конституції України). Зазначений конституційний припис є належною базою для здійснення правової охорони земельних ресурсів не тільки як складової частини навколишнього природного середовища, але й як об’єкта права власності та господарювання. Детермінанти суспільно небезпечних посягань на земельні ресурси можуть мати різноманітний характер. Практика свідчить, що такі посягання можуть супроводжуватися не тільки банальним забрудненням земель відходами життєдіяльності людини, а й великими промисловими аваріями, наприклад, катастрофою на Чорнобильській атомній станції, що сталася у 1986 році. Через цю антропогенну проблему виникла нагальна потреба скоротити площу земель, придатних для проживання та сільськогосподарського виробництва. Аналіз процесу причинності, детермінанти злочинності, механізму злочинної поведінки, який проводився вченими-кримінологами, дає змогу використати весь арсенал науки для дослідження такого специфічного об’єкта, як причина кримінально-протиправних посягань на земельні ресурси та зумовленість встановлення кримінальної відповідальності за скоєння таких посягань. Найбільш глибоке і комплексне дослідження підстав і принципів криміналізації суспільно небезпечних діянь було пов’язане зі спробою побудувати на підставі загальної концепції ролі та з урахуванням соціальних функцій кримінального права раціональну систему принципів криміналізації суспільно небезпечних діянь, а також визначити зміст кожного із цих принципів. З огляду на систему принципів криміналізації доцільно розглядати і соціальну зумовленість кримінально-правової заборони суспільно небезпечних посягань на земельні ресурси. Але при цьому необхідно враховувати особливості землі як особливого об’єкта природи, господарювання та права власності.

Neste trabalho, faz-se uma discussão em torno da legislação brasileira que designa leis de “tratos” (acordos). Considerando as lutas dos povos afrodescendentes, essas legislações não foram operacionalizadas, ficando apenas no “retrato” (aparências) para atender aos interesses políticos e econômicos da elite brasileira com/nas suas relações internacionais. Para isso, parte-se das seguintes leis: Feijó – Lei de 7 de novembro de 1831; Afonso Arinos – Lei Nº 1.390, de 3 de julho de 1951; Lei Caó – Lei Nº 7.716, de 5 de janeiro de 1989; Constituição Federal Brasileira de 1988; e Estatuto da Igualdade Racial – Lei Nº 12.288, de 20 de julho de 2010, em diálogo com teóricos decoloniais, para analisar os sentidos e os usos de dispositivos legais referentes às questões raciais no Brasil. Argumenta-se que as leis em questão existem somente “para inglês ver”, como dispositivos formais de um sistema que regulamenta e, ao mesmo tempo, alija o direito de grupos como os dos afrodescendentes no país. Assim, há implicações para entender as contradições ou os processos complexos de subalternizações da população brasileira afrodescendente ainda em vigor.

Complex abdominal wall defects (CAWDs) are a new surgical entity that require a dedicated and multidisciplinary approach. The spectra of CAWDs and complex abdominal wall reconstruction (CAWR) are poorly defined, and may include any of these elements: large or multiple recurrent hernia, presence of previously placed mesh (open or laparoscopic), loss of abdominal wall domain due to trauma, infection or tumor resection, hernia in the presence of enterocutaneous or enteroatmospheric fistulae (ECF/EAF), hernia in the presence of infected sinus tract, large debilitating parastomal hernia, hernias in the presence of synthetic erosion into the bowel or causing intestinal obstruction, eroded hernias post open abdomen management with skin graft in the presence of intraabdominal catastrophe or massive trauma, and hernias (umbilical or ventral/incisional) in patients with cirrhosis in the presence of massive ascites. The relevance of abdominal wall reconstruction with reinforcement using synthetic or biological mesh has never been as high as it is now. In particular, the use of biological mesh is rising exponentially due to its inherent properties. We previously described a nine-step approach to the management of difficult abdomen with enterocutaneous fistula. In this paper, we update this strategy based on our recent experience with almost 300 patients at our institution who underwent CAWR. Special attention is paid to the management of contaminated fields and the rationale of using biological mesh.
Fiscal Decentralization and Local Government Performance: Decentralized Taxation and Expenditure in Korean Local Governments

Recent administrations in Korea have greatly emphasized the importance of decentralization and autonomous local governments. However, numerous efforts on decentralization have not been accompanied by adequate level of fiscal decentralization. Some critiques have long claimed that local governments are not equipped with enough financial independence or autonomy to deliver preferred services. Some others have challenged this claim, accusing local governments on potential waste of financial resources and local administration capacities, with no significant improvement in public service performance. This research analyzes fiscal decentralization in terms of taxation and expenditure. It empirically investigates whether decentralized taxation and decentralized expenditure affect public service performance in Korean local governments. Based on an assortment of data on local government finance and public service performance, the analysis shows that decentralized taxation and decentralized expenditure have positive effects on a local government performance when either one of them was included in the model. In contrast, in the research model that included both variables, the effect of decentralized taxation on the government performance was not statistically significant. Meanwhile, the positive effect of decentralized expenditure was statistically significant. Results show that decentralized expenditure does not necessarily hinder local government performance, contrary to many concerns. It is advised that administrations in Korea emphasize decentralized expenditure more than decentralized taxation. Decentralized expenditure does not hinder local government performance, and thus the government should continue to promote it to resolve imbalances across local governments.

Eruca sativa is a wholesome yearly shrubbery herb in Saudi Arabia. Eruca sativa leaves are a conventional food and are consumed raw in salads. The present research reports the phytochemical analysis, in-vitro anti-lipid peroxidation, total anti-oxidant capability, cyclooxygenase-1, and -2 (COX1 and COX2) inhibition activities of Saudi Eruca sativa leaves water decoction (EWD). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of EWD revealed seventeen constituents of six different chemical groups: phenolics (23.60%), aromatic and aliphatic esters (16.97%), terpenoids (31.91%), heterocyclics (14.83%), sulfur containing organics (11.25%), and silyl compounds (1.44%). The presence of Astaxanthin (1.96%), Clionasterol (12.81%), Ingol-12-acetate (4.77%), and Phytol (12.37%) in EWD indicated that the decoction technique was effective in extracting thermostable terpenoids. This research is the first report on Eruca sativa unraveling the thermostable phytochemicals. The EWD exhibited a straight-line relationship between liver lipid peroxidation inhibition and 150 to 400 μg/ml concentrations. The % anti-lipid peroxidation effect produced by EWD and Quercetin was statistically significant. At the highest 400 μg/ml dose, EWD exhibits 68.46 and#177; 0.01% anti-lipid peroxidation activity. The demonstrated IC50 of EWD and Ascorbic acid concerning the total anti-oxidant capability is 217.90 μg/ml and 74.91 μg/ml. The in-vitro assay protocols delineated the modes of inhibition of the biological oxidation processes by Eruca sativa, indicating transfer of hydrogen ion and metal ions reduction. The COX inhibitory potential was screened using Ellmannand#39;s reagent. The IC50 values for COX1 and COX2 inhibitions were 152.31μg/ml and 146.4 μg/ml, respectively, indicating that EWD has a potent COX inhibitory potential compared to Indomethacin. The COX2/COX1 ratio of inhibition, less than one, suggested that EWD phytochemicals would be preferential inhibitors of COX2. The current investigation justifies Eruca sativa leaves as a beneficial health food by establishing the chemical composition of water decoction that contributed to the anti-oxidant and COX inhibition activity.

The newly emerging perovskite solar cells (PSCs) embody excellent properties that are making them an attractive in photovoltaic (PV) technology. However, some shortcomings are impeding their commercial success. These include stability, efficiency, shelf life and operational life time. In this study, we attempted to overcome these shortcomings by exploring the fabrication by a modified spin coating approach where the dispensing of anti-solvent was optimized. Using Methyl Ammonium Formamidinium Lead Iodide as light harvester, several PSC devices were fabricated. For comparison, similar devices were also synthesized using a commonly used standard procedure. The devices were characterized for their I-V and P-V response using full sun solar simulator. Our results revealed that the fabrication approach based on optimized dispensing of anti-solvent resulted in considerable improvements in the efficiency with low production cost. In future, the approach can be adopted to overcome some of the problems associated with the current PSCs fabrication approaches.
