Objectives. The diagnostic approach in familial cholestasis cases involves using expensive investigations. The need for complex therapeutic resources is predictable. Material and methods. We present the case of a 3 years 5 months old boy diagnosed with cholestasis and liver cirrhosis, admitted in the Pediatrics Department of “Grigore Alexandrescu” Children’s Hospital for evaluation in order to check the criteria for liver transplantation. Outcomes. The patient is known to our clinic since he was 1 year 3 months; he was admitted at that time for green jaundice. He comes from a family with nine children, low socio-economic status and low education. The first four children have a different father, two of them were stillborn. The next five come from a consanguineous union (the father is maternal uncle of the mother): three (the patient included) presented with the same symptoms, two of them died before 3 years of age with liver cirrhosis. In time, infectious causes, autoimmune, neoplastic and metabolic disease were excluded. The liver biopsy describes cholestasis and fibrosis. Alagille syndrome and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis are still debated, but the genetic testing necessary for a positive diagnosis are not financially available to the family. The patient presents with failure to thrive, developmental delay, intense jaundice and pruritus, hippocratic fingers, dyspnea, enlarged abdomen with visible collateral circulation, significant hepatosplenomegaly. The lab tests show anemia, thrombocytopenia, liver cytolysis, normal gamma-glutamyl transferase, low prothrombin activity, normal renal function, no inflammatory syndrome, increased ammonia level, very high bile acids level. The upper endoscopy describes first degree esophageal varices and portal hypertensive gastropathy. A PELD (Pediatric End-Stage Liver Disease) score is calculated – 13.6 (76.3% one year survival rate on the transplant list, 90.9% one year survival rate after liver transplantation). The patient is enrolled on the transplant waiting list provided we would expect suboptimal results considering the developmental delay and difficult post-transplant monitoring. Conclusions. The low education level of the family correlated with a postponed positive diagnosis due to financial reasons and the lack of genetic advice already lead to the demise of four brothers. In this setting, the prognosis of the patient is very likely to be poor.

The presence of thrombocytosis has been widely associated with poor prognostic in patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the time of the initial diagnostic. Once this fact has been widely accepted, attention was focused on studying whether this biological parameter could be also a diagnostic tool for identifying patients with poorer outcomes at the time of secondary cytoreduction. Therefore the most commonly encountered questions are whether patients presenting thrombocytosis at the time of primary cytoreduction are expected to have also thrombocytosis at the time of relapse and if thrombocytosis at the time relapse is corelated with lower disease free intervals, with higher rates of incomplete debulking and with poorer rates of overall survival respectively. This is a literature review of the most relevant studies conducted on this issue.
Human Activity Recognition in a Realistic and Multiview Environment Based on Two-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Ashish Khare  , Arati Kushwaha  , Om Prakash
Published: May 2023

Recognition of human activity based on convolutional neural network has received the interest of researchers in recent years due to its significant improvement in accuracy. A large number of algorithms based on the deep learning approach have been proposed for activity recognition purpose. However, with the increasing advancements in technologies having limited computational resources, it needs to design an efficient deep learning-based approaches with improved utilization of computational resources. This paper presents a simple and efficient 2-Dimensional convolutional neural network (2-D CNN) architecture with very small size convolutional kernel for human activity recognition. The merit of the proposed CNN architecture over standard deep learning architectures is fewer trainable parameters and lesser memory requirement which enables it to train the proposed CNN architecture on low GPU memory-based devices and also works well with smaller as well as larger size datasets. The proposed approach consists of mainly four stages: namely (1) creation of dataset and data augmentation, (2) designing 2-D convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture, (3) the proposed 2-D CNN architecture trained from scratch up to optimum stage, and (4) evaluation of the trained 2-D CNN architecture. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture several extensive experiments are conducted on three publicly available datasets, namely IXMAS, YouTube, and UCF101 dataset. The results of the proposed method and its comparison with other state-of-the-art methods [8-12,14,18-26,29-33] demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method.

Authors:   Academic Society of Global Business Administration, Min Jongah , Park Jong-Woo
Published: May 2023

To secure competitiveness by responding to the rapidly changing environment, innovative behavior of employees, the core agents of organizational innovation and performance creation, became more important than ever. In this study, coaching leadership as an effective leadership strategy and psychological safety as an emotional and psychological factor were noted for facilitating employees' innovative behavior. This study verified the effect of each sub-variable of coaching leadership on employees’ psychological safety and innovative behavior.
As a result of this empirical analysis following the survey conducted on 358 employees, it was identified that the direction and relationship of coaching leadership showed a significant effect on the employees’ innovative behavior but development and feedback didn’t have a significant effect. The sub-variables of coaching leadership had positive effects on employees’ psychological safety in the order of relationship, feedback, development, and direction. Psychological safety had a positive effect on innovative behavior. There was a significant mediating effect of psychological safety between direction and relationship of coaching leadership and innovation behavior.
This study identified the theoretical model by expanding the simple causal relationship study on the effect on employee’s innovative behavior from the two perspectives of coaching leadership by sub-factors and psychological safety. This study is meaningful, first in that the result highlighted the importance of coaching leadership execution and perceived psychological safety to improve corporate competitiveness. Secondly, this study provides theoretical and practical in-depth implications to enhance effectiveness of coaching leadership by identifying its detailed operating mechanism to facilitate innovative behavior, eventually reinforcing corporate competitiveness to create perfomance, to improve human resource quality, and to conduct innovation strategy. Based on this research findings, the limitations and future research directions were discussed.

Published: May 2023

Entre 1978 y 1989 se crea en Andalucía un modelo de conservación ambiental que se convertirá en referente a nivel estatal e internacional. Será el resultado de un complejo proceso político marcado por tendencias contradictorias (tránsito del franquismo al parlamentarismo, del centralismo al autonomismo), activismo social-ambientalista y pugnas entre corporativismos disciplinarios (biología, ingeniería, geografía). A partir de entrevistas cualitativas, fuentes hemerográficas y documentales, explicamos este modelo, su visión y dispositivos como un marco político-administrativo que surge de relaciones personales y de la confrontación entre corrientes dentro del partido de gobierno en Andalucía (PSOE) en el contexto de un ascenso de las demandas y el movimiento ecologistas.
National and Natural Parks in Portugal. A brief history to understand the appropriation by the state of humanized territories
Authors: Martins Humberto , Frazão-Moreira Amélia
Published: May 2023

The text examines legal frameworks in Portugal to discuss how nature conservation has been managed from a state perspective. Natural Protected Areas correspond to a desire of the political sphere to match an international environmental agenda. However, they have been implemented mainly in private properties or in baldios (communal, though not public lands). Therefore, in practical terms, a tension has been always present between the state and the communities and/or private owners since the beginning of the 20th Century with the creation of ‘forest perimeters’. The article flies over the critical turning points in Portuguese conservation policies from the seventies of the 20th Century to present-day with the recently created diploma of co-management for Protected Areas.
Anisotropic Energy Transfer and Conversion in Magnetized Compressible Turbulence
Authors: Du Senbei , Li Hui , Fu Xiangrong , Gan Zhaoming
Published: May 2023

We present a spatial filtering (or coarse-graining) analysis on 3D magnetized magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence simulations. The filtered compressible MHD formulae show transfer of kinetic and magnetic energies from large to small scales, as well as energy conversion between kinetic, magnetic, and thermal energies. The anisotropic filtering enables separate analyses of the energy flows perpendicular and parallel to the global mean magnetic field. Anisotropy in energy cascade is demonstrated by the larger perpendicular energy cascade rate and also the larger perpendicular wavenumbers associated with the peak energy transfer rate. We also find that the “inertial range” along the parallel (perpendicular) direction in the anisotropic energy cascade formulation is no longer strictly dissipation-free, because it includes the dissipation in the perpendicular (parallel) direction. A change in the driving force (kinetic only versus kinetic and magnetic) affects the energy conversion between kinetic and magnetic energies. While the compressibility of the driving force changes the partition of different channels of energy transfer and conversion, and also increases the total energy transfer rate, the global energy flow remains unaffected by compressibility qualitatively. Our analysis can be applied to multispacecraft observations of turbulence in the solar wind or a planetary magnetosphere.

Authors: Deng Fei , Lin Qibin , Xu Xiaohong , Li Changsong , Xu Jianbo , Nie Hanxiang
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Psittacosis is a well-recognized zoonotic infectious disorder caused by Chlamydia psittaci (C. psittaci). Human-to-human transmission of C. psittaci has rarely been reported previously, especially in the case of healthcare-associated infections.
Case report: A 32-year-old man was admitted to the intensive care unit with severe pneumonia. An intensive care unit healthcare worker contracted pneumonia 7 days after performing endotracheal intubation on the patient. The first patient, a duck feeder, had been closely exposed to ducks, while the second patient had not been exposed to any birds, mammals or poultry. C. psittaci sequences were obtained by metagenomic next-generation sequencing analyses of bronchial alveolar lavage fluid of both the patients, and they were diagnosed with psittacosis. Therefore, healthcare-associated human-to-human transmission between both cases took place.
Conclusions: Our findings have implications for managing patients with suspected psittacosis. stringent protective measures are needed to prevent healthcare-associated human-to-human transmission of C. psittaci.
Hand hygiene and water quality assessment in schools of Muthanna province, Southern Iraq
Authors: Hantoosh Saad M
Published: May 2023

Introduction: The severe drought and prolonged heat waves in Iraq have adversely affected the water quality supplied to public facilities. Schools are among the most affected facilities by water scarcity. This work aims to evaluate the level of students’ hand hygiene, and the quality of municipal (MW) and drinking water (DW) in some schools of Al-Muthanna Province, Iraq.
Methodology: Between October 2021 and June 2022, a total of 324 water samples from 162 schools and 2,430 hand swabs (HSs) from 1,620 students (1,080 males and 540 females) were collected. Some physicochemical standards of water were assessed besides investigating faecal contamination in water and students’ hands using Escherichia coli as an indicator.
Results: All MW samples were faecally contaminated with poor standards of pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, color, and chlorine. Despite the good physicochemical standards of all DW samples, E. coli was observed in 12% of samples. Hand hygiene levels dropped by 2.5-fold within a few hours after school entry compared to early-morning levels (before school entry). Male students were 1.5- and 1.7-fold more prone to hand contamination than female students either inside or outside school, respectively. An increasing chlorine tolerance by E. coli was observed in water samples with turbidity > 5 NTU and pH > 8.
Conclusions: The students' hand hygiene level decreases within a few hours of entering school, particularly among male students. Residual-free chlorine < 0.5 mg/L with high turbidity and alkalinity in water is insufficient for 100% prevention of E. coli contamination.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Inclusion-body hepatitis (IBH) and hydropericardium syndrome (HPS) are highly infectious diseases caused by fowl adenoviruses (FAdVs). IBH and HPS cause major economic losses in poultry production. IBH is caused by multiple FAdV serotypes such as FAdV-11, FAdV8a, and FAdV8b; while HPS is mainly caused by the FAdV-4 serotype. In 2018, we detected FAdVs in West Bank - Palestine for the first time. This study aims to monitor the emergence of new FAdVs in broiler farms in Gaza Strip-Palestine in 2022.
Methodology: The clinical signs, necropsy, and histopathological findings associated with IBH in the suspected birds were recorded. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed using primers matching the virus-encoded L1 loop of the hexon gene. The sequences of the L1 loop were analyzed and a phylogenetic tree was constructed and compared with the related FAdV field isolates and reference strains from different regions of the world available in GenBank.
Results: The infected broiler displayed FAdVs-induced clinical symptoms and pathological lesions with mortality rates ranging from 20-46%. The L1 loop sequences from the infected flocks were submitted to GenBank with accession numbers ON638995, ON872150, and ON872151. The identified L1 loop gene has high nucleotide homology (96.7-97.9%) to the highly pathogenic FAdV E serotype 8b strain FAdV_isolate_04-53357-122_Canada_2007 (GenBank: EF685489) and 94.5-94.6% to FAdV_10_Belgium_2010 isolate 11-15941 (GenBank: AF339924.1). Furthermore, the phylogenetic analysis indicated that they belong to FAdV-E serotype 8b.
Conclusions: Our study reports the emergence of FAdV-E causing IBH disease in broiler chickens for the first time in Gaza in Palestine.

Authors: Alnakshabandie Wasan Madhat Yousif , Mammani Ismaeil Mohammed Abdulkahar
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Wound infection is one of the universal challenges for patients who visit the hospital after trauma and undergo surgery and/or during their admission. Trauma could be due to Road Traffic Accidents (RTA), violence, or Falling from High (FFH). There is tangible evidence of the scope and the danger of hospital-acquired infections, which are far more common and deadly than many people comprehend.
Methodology: 280 samples were collected from 140 injured persons, who attended the Emergency Teaching Hospital in Duhok, Iraq from September 2021 to April 2022. 140 samples were collected on the patients’ arrival and 140 samples after admission and treatment. The isolated bacteria were manually diagnosed, and then VITEK®2 compact system was performed for confirmation.
Results: 27 microbial species were identified. The common bacterial species detected on patients’ arrival were Staphylococcus epidermidis 22 (19.6%), Escherichia coli 16 (14.3%), Staphylococcus aureus 14 (12.5%), Staphylococcus lentus 10 (8.9%) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia 6(5.4%). On the 2nd samples, which were collected after patients’ admission, the species were Staphylococcus aureus 35(31.3%), Escherichia coli 13(11.6%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 12 (10.7%), Staphylococcus epidermidis 10 (8.9%), Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumonia were 8 (7.1%) each.
Conclusions: The bacteria that contaminate wounds at the accident time led to serious problems after the admission as they cause wound infection with inappropriate antibiotic administration. It is established that there are differences between the bacterial species detected before and after admission in this study with p = 0.004. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that some species that are isolated prior to the admission of patients turn hostile afterward.
The Impact of Work Stress on Doctor’s Performance through Employee Engagement and Moderation of the COVID-19 Pandemic (Study on Primary Health Care)
Authors: Rahmayanti Fida , Noermijati Noermijati , Armanu Armanu , Rohman Fatchur
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND: Doctors at primary health care are prone to have work stress and it can affect their performance. Employee engagement may have close relationship with the doctor’s performance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

AIM: This study aims to determine the relationship between work stress and the doctor’s performance at primary health care using employee engagement mediation and COVID-19 pandemic moderation.

METHODS: This research is a descriptive study using a quantitative approach which was conducted on 354 doctors at Malang primary health care. The questionnaire was analyzed using partial least square.

RESULTS: The work stress had a significant positive effect on the doctor’s performances (β = 0.257, t-stat = 3.324). Work stress has a significant positive effect on employee engagement (β = 0.726, t-stat = 22,967). Employee engagement does not significantly affect the doctor’s performance (β = 0.044, t-stat 0.105). Employee engagement does not mediate the work stress effect on doctor’s performance (β = 0.032, t-stat = 0.105). The COVID-19 pandemic did not moderate the work stress effect on doctors’ performance (β = −0.222, t-stat = 0.981).

CONCLUSION: Primary health care leaders still need to pay attention to factors that can reduce the doctor’s performance and employee engagement, include factors that can increase the work stress during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Aim: to observe the effect of propolis and its nano counterpart when used as final irrigation materials and compare them to the conventionally used EDTA and saline on the clinical outcomes of necrotic mature anterior teeth with apical periodontitis after treating them using regenerative endodontic procedure.
Methodology: 84 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were recruited for the study. Access cavity was prepared, rubber dam isolation was done. Mechanical preparation was performed up to #60 using K-files. Final irrigation procedure was done as follows:
Group A (Control ): Final irrigation was done using saline (3ml/min) followed by 17% EDTA solution (20 mL/canal, 5 min).
Group B (comparator 1): Final irrigation was done using propolis[1] irrigation (20 mL/canal, 5 min).
Group C (comparator 2): Final irrigation was done using Nano-propolis[2] irrigation (20 mL/canal, 5 min).
Bleeding was then induced, PRF was placed in the canals, followed by Collacote[3] and Bio-dentine[4] placement. Patients were recalled after 6 and 12 months. Teeth were checked for sensibility using electric pulp tester and thermal tests. All data was analysed using Kruskal Wallis test.
Results: All of the 84 patients (100%) within the 3 groups showed both clinical success and survival. Using Kruskal Wallis, there was no statistically significant difference among the three groups (p=1). Two teeth in the nano propolis group responded positively to thermal test at 12 months follow up. None of the teeth in the three tested groups (100%) responded to the
electric pulp test at 12 months. There was nostatistically significant difference between the three groups(p=1)
Conclusion: within the limitation of the study, single visit regenerative endodontics can be used to treat necrotic mature teeth with apical periodontitis and a periapical lesion.

Abstract
 
Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (Autism Spectrum Disorder), commonly abbreviated as ASD or autism, is a condition of neurodevelopmental brain disorder that causes sufferers to experience difficulties in communicating and socializing. Parents go through difficult phases after their child is diagnosed with ASD. Therefore, increasing the knowledge capacity of parents and nutritional intake in autistic children is very important. Children with autism often experience a lack of certain nutrients that affect the growth, development, and fulfillment of specific nutritional needs.
 
AIM: Analyzing the Effect of Nutrition Counseling on Mother's Knowledge and Nutrient Intake in Autistic Children in Banda Aceh City
 
Methods: The research design used in this study was quasi-experimental with a pre-posttest observational approach. This research was conducted in four locations, namely the Autism Child Service Center, The Nanny Children Center (TNCC), Bintang Kecil, and My Hope Special Need Center from October to December 2021 in Banda Aceh. The sample in this study was the entire population, which amounted to 30 children with autism—analysis of the data using univariate and bivariate using the T-test dependent.
.
Results: From the results of statistical tests, it is known that there is a significant effect of nutritional counseling on mothers' knowledge and intake of gluten and casein sources of food in autistic children with p-value < 0.05). Nutritional counseling has been shown to increase maternal knowledge. The average knowledge of mothers before nutrition counseling was 84.56 and after 88.62. The average intake of gluten and casein sources before nutritional counseling was 82.59 and after 77.12.

Authors: Zotos Savvas , Stamatiou Marilena , Vogiatzakis Ioannis
Published: May 2023

Even though the reptiles and amphibians of Cyprus are of scientific and conservation importance and although several books, guides and scientific reports have been published the past 30 years, there is a clear absence of a systematic recording and archiving scheme of all available data in a structural database. Towards this end, the Cyprus Herp (= reptiles and amphibians) Atlas has been developed. The Atlas constitutes the first effort to collect all existing locality data of the herpetofauna species of the island (i.e. scientific reports, books, journals, grey literature) in a single database and simultaneously promote a citizen-science approach in order to collect and constantly update the database with new records.

The website of the Atlas contains basic educational and informational material for the public, along with the visibility tool of the database in the form of occurrence maps, in 5 km x 5 km grid cells, openly available for download in kmz format. The Atlas is a powerful tool for citizens, scientists and decision-makers, aiming to contribute to the study and conservation of the reptile and amphibian species of Cyprus. In this short communication, we give details on the structure of the Atlas.
The identity of Sasa oblongula C.H.Hu (Poaceae, Bambusoideae, Arundinarieae): evidence from morphology and molecular data
Authors: Li Xing , Ni Jing-Bo , Xia Nian-He
Published: May 2023

Sasa oblongula was described in 1987 based on a cultivated plant at the bamboo garden of Sun Yat-sen University. This species has two or three branches at the upper nodes, which differ from the rest of Sasa species that have a single branch per node. During the field trip to Baishi Town, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province in July 2021, one bamboo species with oblong foliage leaves was collected and matches the isotype. Then, our question was to test the identity of S. oblongula concerning other Sasa species based on morphology and molecular data. To do that, we sequenced the whole chloroplast genome of S. oblongula and did a phylogenetic analysis. Our morphological results indicate that the new collection is S. oblongula. The phylogenetic tree showed that S. oblongula is close to Pseudosasa, instead of Sasa species. Therefore, we transferred it to the genus Pseudosasa, and a revised description of P. oblongula is provided here.
The complete mitochondrial genome of Aeschrocoris tuberculatus and A. ceylonicus (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae) and its phylogenetic implications
Authors: Jia Wang , Wei Jiufeng , Niu Minmin , Zhang Hufang , Zhao Qing
Published: May 2023

Aeschrocoris tuberculatus and A. ceylonicus (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae, Pentatominae) are mainly distributed in southern China, India, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. Both species are also common agricultural pests. However, only the morphology of the genus Aeschrocoris has previously been studied, and molecular data have been lacking. In this study, the whole mitochondrial genomes of A. tuberculatus and A. ceylonicus are and annotated. The lengths of the complete mitochondrial genomes of the two species are 16,134 bp and 16,142 bp, respectively, and both contain 37 typical genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and a control region. The mitochondrial genome structure, gene order, nucleotide composition, and codon usage of A. tuberculatus and A. ceylonicus are consistent with those of typical Pentatomidae. Most PCGs of both species use ATN as the start codon, except atp8, nad1, and cox1, which use TTG as the start codon. cox1, cox2, and atp6 use a single T, and nad1 use TAG as the stop codon; the remaining PCGs have TAA as the stop codon. The A+T contents of the two species are 73.86% and 74.08%, respectively. All tRNAs have a typical cloverleaf structure, with the exception of trnS1, which lacks a dihydrouridine arm. The phylogenetic tree is reconstructed using the maximum-likelihood method based on the newly obtained mitochondrial genome sequences and 87 existing mitochondrial genomes of Pentatomoidea from the NCBI database and two species of Lygaeoidea as outgroups. The phylogenetic trees strongly support the following relationships: (Urostylididae + ((Acanthosomatidae + ((Cydnidae + (Dinidoridae + Tessaratomidae)) + (Scutelleridae + Plataspidae))) + Pentatomidae). This study enriches the mitochondrial genome database of Pentatomoidea and provides a reference for further phylogenetic studies.
An Efficiency Analysis of Conciliation Activities in French Courts
Authors: Belarouci Matthieu , Vaillant Nicolas , Wolff François-Charles
Published: May 2023

Cet article est la première contribution à explorer l’efficience de l’activité de conciliation des tribunaux d’instance en France. Celle-ci est évaluée sur la période allant de 2010 à 2017, en utilisant l’approche dite bad-output d’une analyse par enveloppement des données, puis en estimant ses déterminants. Les résultats mettent en évidence que l’efficience de l’activité de conciliation des tribunaux est positivement associée aux facteurs influençant la demande de conciliation, à l’instar de la durée des affaires du tribunal et de la charge des juges. Les cours les plus performantes sont en outre caractérisées par une meilleure intégration de la conciliation dans le circuit judiciaire. Enfin, nous observons que l’activité professionnelle des conciliateurs et leur expérience de la conciliation favorisent la performance de cette procédure.
An Overview of Adolescent Psychostimulant Use
Authors: Kessler Lexie , Hopkins Austin , Bahrke Jesse , Kunstman Kaitlyn
Published: May 2023

Adolescence marks a period of significant neural maturation and development of lifelong habits, including the potential use of recreational psychostimulant drugs. Increased prevalence of drug adulteration and fatalities related to drug overdose pose new challenges for individuals who use drugs recreationally. As the prevalence of recreational psychostimulant use drastically increases during young adulthood, pediatric and adolescent health care providers can play a crucial role in the lifelong well-being of their patients by identifying those with risk factors for consequences associated with substance use at an early age. This article discusses the epidemiology, pharmacology, clinical manifestations, complications, and common methods of use for three types of psychostimulant drugs—amphetamines, methamphetamine, and 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine. This article aims to provide pediatric and adolescent health care providers with practical knowledge to effectively perform substance use screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment with the goal of reducing drug-related morbidity and mortality among the adolescent age group.

Acute Pediatric Liquid Nicotine Ingestions
Authors: Tweet Marit S. , Wilson Meaghan , Rosario Jennifer M. , Duong Myto
Published: May 2023

Electronic cigarette and vaping device use in the household represents a possible source of unintentional nicotine exposure to pediatric patients. Although most ingestions of nicotine may be mild, there is a potential for significant toxicity. Nicotine toxicity can present similarly to many other types of ingestions, which makes the history an important piece of the encounter. Treatment of nicotine toxicity is primarily supportive care directed at the presenting signs and symptoms. There is no antidotal therapy for nicotine toxicity. This review covers information that can assist clinicians who might treat a pediatric patient presenting with significant nicotine toxicity after the accidental ingestion of liquid nicotine products.

Loneliness and Functional Decline in Aging: A Systematic Review
Authors: Pollak Chava , Verghese Joe , Blumen Helena
Published: May 2023

Loneliness is prevalent in adults aged ≥65 years in the United States and is associated with functional decline. The purpose of the current review was to synthesize evidence on the relationship between loneliness and functional decline using Roy's Adaptation Model as a theoretical framework. A comprehensive review of PubMed, Medline, and Embase databases was performed. Inclusion criteria were samples including adults primarily aged >60 years, peer-reviewed, published in the English language, and included a measure for loneliness and function. A total of 47 studies were analyzed. Most studies examined correlates, risk factors, and predictors of loneliness, rather than the relationship between loneliness and function. Evidence suggests there is bidirectionality in the relationship between loneliness and functional decline. Loneliness is associated with functional decline in aging via multiple possible pathways. Further studies are needed to determine causality and biological mechanisms underlying the relationship. [

Authors: Yue Zongmin , Mu Yuanhua , Yu Kekui
Published: May 2023

We develop a mathematical model for the transmission of brucellosis in sheep taking into account external inputs, immunity, stage structure and other factors. We find the the basic reproduction number $ R_0 $ in terms of the model parameters, and prove the global stability of the disease-free equilibrium. Then, the existence and global stability of the endemic equilibrium is proven. Finally, sheep data from Yulin, China are employed to fit the model parameters for three different environmental infection exposure conditions. The variability between different models in terms of control measures are analyzed numerically. Results show that the model is sensitive to the control parameters for different environmental infection exposure functions. This means that in practical modeling, the selection of environmental infection exposure functions needs to be properly considered.

Published: May 2023

The monitoring of urban land categories is crucial for effective land resource management and urban planning. To address challenges such as uneven parcel distribution, difficulty in feature extraction and loss of image information in urban remote sensing images, this study proposes a multi-scale feature shuffle urban scene segmentation model. The model utilizes a deep convolutional encoder-decoder network with BlurPool instead of MaxPool to compensate for missing translation invariance. GSSConv and SE module are introduced to enhance information interaction and filter redundant information, minimizing category misclassification caused by similar feature distributions. To address unclear boundary information during feature extraction, the model applies multi-scale attention to aggregate context information for better integration of boundary and global information. Experiments conducted on the BDCI2017 public dataset show that the proposed model outperforms several established segmentation networks in OA, mIoU, mRecall, P and Dice with scores of 83.1%, 71.0%, 82.7%, 82.7% and 82.5%, respectively. By effectively improving the completeness and accuracy of urban scene segmentation, this study provides a better understanding of urban development and offers suggestions for future planning.

Published: May 2023

In this book chapter, the authors focus on the comparative study of some benzimidazole-substituted compounds used as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in molar Hydrochloric acid solution. It has been determined that the quinazolinone studied compounds exhibit a very good performance as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in molar Hydrochloric acid solution, as the halogen-substituted compounds show better inhibitive performance than the non-halogen-substituted one. Correspondence between inhibition property, molecular structure, and halogen substitution of benzimidazole-substituted compounds is investigated, using chemical, electrochemical, and theoretical methods. Halogen substitution effect on the inhibition performance has also been explored by quantum chemical computations and obvious correlations were observed. The binding energies of tested compounds on Fe(110) surfaces were calculated using Monte Carlo simulation. Bromide-substituted compound shows better inhibitive performance than the chloride-substituted one.

Modelling of the Surface Properties of Model Anti-Corrosion Materials by Inverse Gas Chromatography
Authors: Hamieh Tayssir
Published: May 2023

To reinforce the protection of the steel against corrosion, surface treatments are carried out (conversion coating, for example) followed most often by the application of an organic coating. The adhesion of the conversion layer or of the polymer to the metal oxide layer must be optimal. However, in adhesion phenomena, the dispersive interactions and acid-base type interactions between the surface sites of the two materials in contact play an important role. In order to understand and predict adhesion, it is necessary to quantify these interactions. The authors proposed in this research to study the dispersive and Lewis acid-base interactions between the oxides present on the surface of galvanized sheets and model organic molecules by using the inverse gas chromatography (IGC) at infinite dilution and the new models recently published. The obtained results proved that the dispersive surface energy of the Monogal surface is greater than that of zinc oxide surface, but much lower than the zinc hydroxide surface. It was also shown that the Monogal exhibited the lower Lewis acid-base properties.

Authors: Chebabe Driss
Published: May 2023

Novel Bolaamphiphile surfactants: 1,n-bis(4-amino-3-methyl-1,2,4-triazole-thioyl)alkane (DTCn, n=10,12) have been synthesized and characterized in the author's laboratory. The corrosion inhibition effect of carbon steel in molar hydrochloric acid was investigated using electrochemical methods, scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive x-ray analysis and theoretical tools such as density function theory calculation. This investigation shows that all compounds studied are good corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in molar HCl. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing inhibitor concentration, and reached 91.57% and 96.63% respectively for DTC10 and DTC12. The obtained results lead to the selecting the DTC12 as the best inhibitor. The surface analysis using SEM coupled with EDX confirms an excellent protective effect due to the establishment of the covering inhibitor film on the carbon steel surface. The density functional theory calculations were reasonably achieved to get a more understanding of the adsorption mechanism for corrosion inhibitors studied on the metal surface.

Published: May 2023

At room temperature, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles co-doped with praseodymium (Pr) and copper (Cu) using a low-cost chemical co-precipitation method. As a capping agent, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used for synthesizing the nanosamples, and a pH of 9 was maintained. The synthesis of nanosamples was then characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and photoluminescence (PL). X-ray diffraction studies revealed the wurtzite hexagonal structure of ZnO, and no impurity peaks were found. The particle size obtained from XRD studies was 32 to 46 nm and is well supported by TEM. SEM micrographs demonstrated the surface morphology of the samples. With Cu dopant concentration, Pr-doped ZnO nanosamples exhibited enhanced luminescence properties.
