Authors: Türe Esra , Yazar Abdullah , Akın Fatih , Kılıç Ahmet Osman
Published: August 2021

A complete or partial involuntary erection that occurs in absence of a sexual stimulation and lasts longer than four hours is defined as priapism. Etiology usually includes sickle cell disease or hematologic malignancies. Less common causes include trauma, spinal cord injury, medications, congenital syphilis, parotitis, Fabry’s disease and retroperitoneal sarcoma. Priapism is a urologic emergency that varies by ischemic and non-ischemic episodes. Ischemic injury to cavernous tissues leads to erectile dysfunction. Early recognition of priapism, determination of the type and the treatment are crucial in preventing potential long-term complications caused by priapism. With this case of priapism caused by a treatment with valproic acid, it was aimed to point out priapism which is a urologic emergency.

Published: August 2021

Construction projects are usually associated with several challenges owing to the varying process during the project lifetime. Hence, the final cost of any civil engineering project is influenced by many factors. There are numerous ways of determining the final cost of a project, however, the most essential approach is the Estimate at Completion (EAC) technique. This technique is mostly favored because it considers the probability of risks and project performance. Furthermore, EAC helps project managers in the definition and determination of the critical problems expected during the project period and the likely solutions toward these problems. In this review research, the basic empirical, regression and advanced soft computing methodologies adopted for the EAC computation, were surveyed and reported in detail. The review established on the base to recognize the modern advancement of the soft computing in computing the EAC with accurate, reliable and robust manner. The review was highlighted the main literature limitation, current status and possible future direction.
Impact of Increasing Pumping Discharge on Groundwater Level in the Nile Delta Aquifer, Egypt
Authors: Armanuos Asaad , Ahmed Kamal , Sanusi Shiru Mohammed , Jamei Mehdi
Published: August 2021

The main goal of this research is to develop a 3D groundwater (GW) model using MODFLOW software to assess the potential effect of increasing pumping discharges on GW level in the Nile Delta Aquifer (NDA). In this study, the current state of the irrigation canals and GW recharge are considered in the GW model. The simulated GW level was compared with the observed GW level for model validation. Three vertical cross sections in western central and eastern areas of the ND are selected to check the impacts of GW pumping on variations of GW level. Ten scenarios of increasing the abstraction rates in all areas of the ND are tested. The results confirmed that increasing the pumping discharges has a substantial effect on decreasing the GW level in central and southern areas of the NDA. In addition, the tenth scenario is considered the last case where the drawdown of GW level reached 1.32, 1.59, and 2.41m in the southern boundaries. The findings of the study should be considered when studying the management of GW resources and the impacts of climate change on the ND.

Systematic reviews summarise and synthesise the global evidence about an intervention. By incorporating causal chain analysis, a systematic review moves beyond the question of ‘does it work?’ to ‘why does it work, for whom, under what circumstances and at what cost?’. The CEDIL Methods Brief 4, ‘Using causal chain analysis in systematic reviews’, lays out what causal chain analysis is, the benefits of using it, and how to do so. The brief provides guidance on conducting a causal chain analysis by illustrating with an example of a systematic review on farmer field schools.

A impressão digital é o desenho formado pelas papilas (elevações da pele), presentes nas polpas dos dedos das mãos. Algumas modalidades esportivas se interessaram nessa área visando rendimento dos atletas, visando suas escolhas para posições e observando possíveis desenvolvimento de habilidades, se houver investimentos corretos. Este trabalho teve como propósito buscar associações de perfis dermatoglíficos com a capacidade motora dos indivíduos pertencentes a iniciação esportiva de um clube de futebol do município de Goiânia, Goiás. Para isso, foram tiradas medidas antropométricas, realizado um teste de velocidade de 20 metros e coletado as impressões digitais. Após a coleta dos dados, foi calculado o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) dos atletas e houve análises estatísticas para observar as frequências dos desenhos, a relação dos dermatoglíficos com os grupos meninos/meninas, com a posição no campo dos dois grupos e classificou os grupos pelos parâmetros de prevalência de desenho, fórmulas e deltas em características físico-motoras. As maiores características vinculadas ao perfil dermatoglífico do grupo foi força explosiva, agilidade e uma maior presença de fibras de contração rápida. No entanto, os resultados do teste de velocidade de 20 metros dos meninos e meninas, não corresponderam com as características físico-motoras, geralmente ligadas ao perfil dermatoglífico.

Abstract. The ozone mixing ratio spatio-temporal variability in the pristine southern Pacific Ocean is studied, for the first time, using 21-year long ozone (O3) records from the entire southern tropical and subtropical Pacific, between 1994 and 2014. The analysis considered regional O3 vertical observations from ozonesondes, surface carbon monoxide (CO) observations from flasks and three-dimensional chemistry-transport model simulations of the global troposphere. Two 21-year long numerical simulations, with and without biomass burning emissions, were performed to disentangle the importance of biomass burning relative to stratospheric intrusions for ambient ozone levels in the region. Tagged tracers of O3 from the stratosphere and CO from various biomass burning regions have been used to track the impact of these different regions on the southern tropical Pacific O3 and CO levels. Patterns have been analyzed based on atmospheric dynamics variability. Considering the interannual variability in the observations, the model can capture the observed ozone gradients in the troposphere with a positive bias of 7.5 % in the upper troposphere/low stratosphere (UTLS), as well as near the surface. Remarkably, even the most pristine region of the global ocean is affected by distant biomass burning emissions by convective outflow through the mid and high troposphere and subsequent subsidence over the pristine oceanic region. Therefore, the biomass burning contribution to tropospheric CO levels maximizes in the UTLS. The Southeast Asian open fires have been identified as the major contributing source to CO from biomass burning in the tropical southern Pacific, contributing on average for the study period about 8.5 and 13 ppbv of CO at Rapa Nui and Samoa, respectively, at an altitude of around 12 km during the burning season in the spring of the Southern Hemisphere. South America is the second most important biomass burning source region that influences the study area. Its impact maximizes in the lower troposphere (6.5 ppbv for Rapa Nui and 3.8 ppbv for Samoa). All biomass burning sources contribute about 15–23 ppbv of CO, accounting for about 25 % of the total CO in the entire troposphere of the tropical and subtropical South Pacific. This impact is also seen on tropospheric O3, to which biomass burning O3 precursor emissions contribute only a few ppbv during the burning period, while the stratosphere-troposphere exchange is the most important source of O3 for the mid-troposphere of the south Pacific Ocean, contributing about 15–20 ppbv in the subtropics.

Abstract. The Asian Monsoon Anticyclone (AMA) represents the wettest region in the lower stratosphere (LS) and is the key contributor to the global annual maximum in LS water vapour. While the AMA wet pool is linked with persistent convection in the region and horizontal confinement of the anticyclone, there remain ambiguities regarding the role of tropopause-overshooting convection in maintaining the regional LS water vapour maximum. This study tackles this issue using a unique set of observations from onboard the high-altitude M55-Geophysica aircraft deployed in Nepal in Summer 2017 within the EU StratoClim project. We use a combination of airborne measurements (water vapour, ice water, water isotopes, cloud backscatter) together with ensemble trajectory modeling coupled with satellite observations to characterize the processes controlling water vapour and clouds in the confined lower stratosphere (CLS) of AMA. Our analysis puts in evidence the dual role of overshooting convection, which may lead to hydration or dehydration depending on the synoptic-scale tropopause temperatures in AMA. We show that all of the observed CLS water vapour enhancements are traceable to convective events within AMA and furthermore bear an isotopic signature of the overshooting process. A surprising result is that the plumes of moist air with mixing ratios nearly twice the background level can persist for weeks whilst recirculating within the anticyclone, without being subject to irreversible dehydration through ice settling. Our findings highlight the importance of convection and recirculation within AMA for the transport of water into the stratosphere.
