A Titicaca bundle mummy and an Atacameno mummy in the colection of the National Museum at Rio the Janeiro
Authors: Wesolowski Veronica , Rodrigues-Carvahlo Claudia , Meier Debra K.
Published: October 2021

At the beginning of the last century, scientific missions visited neighboring countries. These missions resulted in the exchange of archaeological and ethnographical collections, and improved the National Museum exhibitions of Peruvian and Chilean materials. A well preserved bundle was excavated from a chullpa, or stone tomb of the Titicaca Lake region. It is one of the best preserved mummies in our collection. Inside a specially coiled basket is a man sitting exhibiting annular skull defformation and interesting dental decay, possibly associated with coca chewing. Another very well preserved body with genitals comes from an Atacameño burial. A wool cap identifies his cultural affiliation. This second man was unearthed in a tomb in Chiu-Chiu, north of the Atacama desert in Chile, and shows signs of trauma in the face. A comparision of the different conditions that helped preserve the two mummies and their cultural and biological characteristics will be presented here.
Transitory mummies: hopewell tombs and the conservation of the dead
Authors: Cook Della Collins
Published: October 2021

Many Eastern North American Indians practiced secondary burial, and a wide variety of beliefs were attached to the stages of decomposition of the corpse. Evidence is presented for protracted corpse manipulation at the Lawrence Gay Mounds, Pike County, Illinois. Unfired clay face painting, rearticulation of skeletons, and partial disarticulation of dried corpses were features of mortuary practices at this site. Middle Woodland tombs slowed decomposition, because corpses were protected to such an extent that bodies remained in a mummified state for months or years. Inferences about funeral rites and ritual specialists two thousand years ago are suggested.

Published: October 2021

Mummies are the most interesting discovery from ancient Egypt, and like the hieroglyphs, they have become a symbol of the civilization of the pharaohs. Interest grows even stronger when science and technology allow us to learn about what the ancient Egyptians carefully embalmed and prepared for the afterlife. For archaeologists and conservators, studying mummies is like traveling through history between the iconography of the outer container of the body to the interior of the body itself. Our research in an Egyptian mummy at the National Museum of Archaeology in Venice includes the analysis of the stucco layer of the wood sarcophagus, the masque and linen bandages, chemistry, and CT scanning. We offer data regarding materials, pigments, and the conservation of the body

Published: October 2021

Eighty-five Egyptian mummies belonging to different dynastic periods and collected in a number of Italian museums, have been censed and submitted for paleopathological research.

In most cases the presence of bandages required the application of X- rays and computed axial tomography (CAT). Fifty-two mummies have been studied in situ with Xrays; twelve with CAT scanning. Technical problems kept us from investigating eleven of the censed mummies. In a few cases it was possible to perform autopsies, endoscopy, or histological studies. The mummies submitted for X- rays were divided into two groups: The first group thirty-six mummies studied by the team of Paleopathology-Egyptology of the University of Pisa were studied for the first time. The second group was composed of twenty-six mummies studied elsewhere in Italy. Those results also have been included in the Anubi Project database.

This presentations examines a group of five mummies that were not prepared for the journey to the afterlife but rather preserved and exhibited for commercial enterprise, the sideshow. The study originally comprised five episodes of a forty episode series, «The Mummy Road Show» broadcast on the National Geographic Channel in the United States and internationally. A brief history of the sideshow will be presented to demonstrate the mummies’ roles in the development of that unique segment of the entertainment industry. The method of embalming will be discussed from both its historical context and ability to preserve internal organs. The use of conventional radiography, computed tomography and videoendoscopy to examine the skeletons and well preserved internal organs will be considered in an attempt to substantiate or refute the stories associated with each mummy. In addition, an autopsy conducted on one of the mummies will be correlated to the imaging studies.

Published: October 2021

The excellent conservation and remarkable accuracy of the embalming of an Egyptian mummy’s head, kept from 1818 at the Museum of the Institute of Archaeology at the University of Pavia, prompted further study using medical and anthropological analyses. Standard X-rays, computerized axial tomography, 14C analysis, sex attribution using aDNA from bone, and human biological typification through microscopic analysis of hair were performed. Based on our research, the mummy does not show evidence of pathological alterations. It appears to be an adolescent male. It is likely that he lived before the 18th dynasty and belonged to a North African area of Caucasian population, and to a high social class.
Regional Citrate Anticoagulation for Postdilution Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration: An Easy Five-Step Prescribing Approach
Authors: Xin Xin , Li Wenxiong
Published: October 2021

Abstract

Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) is the preferred anticoagulation method of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) which is recommended by international guidelines, but the use of citrate anticoagulation is relatively complicated. If correct prescription and timely adjustment of RCA are not performed, disorders of fluid electrolyte and acid-base balance are prone to occur, especially hypocalcemia, which is a fatal complication. This article introduces the use of RCA with calcium-containing replacement fluid for postdilution continuous veno-venous hemofiltration, which provides a simple and easy CRRT anticoagulation protocol for clinical practice.

Authors: Miyai Kosuke , Kumazawa Fumihisa , Sato Kimiya , Tsuda Hitoshi
Published: October 2021

A 59-year-old man presented with a painless testicular mass and underwent a radical orchiectomy. The resected specimen showed a 5-cm-sized, white-yellow and homogenous solid mass in the testicular parenchyma. Histologically, the central part of the tumor exhibited typical features of seminoma. The peripheral part of the tumor exhibited diffuse infiltration of small, monotonous lymphoid cells involving the tunica albuginea. The monotonous lymphoid cells were immunoreactive for CD20, CD79a, CD5, and CD23, and negative for CD3, CD10, and cyclin D1. Kappa light chain restriction was detected on flow cytometry using the resected specimen. Considering the circulating lymphoid cell count of >5.0×103/µL, we diagnosed the peripheral component of the tumor as an infiltration of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This extremely rare combination of seminoma and lymphoid neoplasm should be considered in the differential diagnosis of classic seminoma with extensive lymphoid reaction in tumors arising in elderly patients.

Published: October 2021

Background: Brucellosis is one of the major health problems in many areas of the world, especially in the Mediterranean and the Middle East regions.Objective: To determine the epidemiological characteristics, clinical signs, and risk factors of relapse rate in patients with brucellosis, Qom Province, Iran.Methods: A descriptive-analytic study was conducted on 410 confirmed brucellosis cases in Qom Province, central Iran, from 2015 to 2019, based on epidemiological checklists and according to the Iran Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME). Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted using Stata software version 14.Results: The relapse rate of brucellosis was 6.6% until nine months after s arting the treatment, and all recurrent cases were infected by Brucella melitensis. Based on univariate logistic regression analysis, the delayed treatment and type species of Brucella were significant factors affecting the relapse of brucellosis. The relapse rates were 5.4%, 6.2%, and 20.0% in patients whose delayed treatments were <50, 51-150, and >151days, respectively. Based on the multiple logistic regression, it was observed that delayed treatment >50 days increased the rate of relapse more than four times.Conclusion: The delayed initiation of treatment was a significant factor influencing the relapse of brucellosis; therefore, it is necessary to provide enough diagnostic and laboratory facilities, and people need to be educated about the signs and symptoms of the disease.
Use of hard stainless steel “office” pin as improvised post in the management of Ellis class III fracture of anterior teeth in a resource poor and challenging environment: Case reports
Authors: Erhabor Paul , Alalibo Soseipiriala , Okino Benjamin Onimisi
Published: October 2021

Objective: Traumatic dental injury is considered as the damage to the teeth and/or other hard and soft tissues within and around the oral cavity caused by the collision of the individual with a moving or stationary object. Traumatic dental injury to the anterior teeth can result in varying degree of injuries ranging from various types of fracture of teeth to avulsed teeth. Ellis class III fracture of anterior teeth following trauma, is a common presentation to the dental clinic and may result in pain and discomfort, aesthetic challenge and impaired quality of life. The treatment of Ellis class III fracture of anterior teeth involves a combination of treatment of the pulp injury and the un-aesthetic crown fracture, usually by endodontic treatment and Aesthetic Restorative Materials (ARM). This article reviewed the use of ARM in the management of Ellis class III fracture of anterior teeth and reported our experience in Stella Obasanjo Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria on Ellis class III fracture of anterior teeth managed with hard stainless steel “office” pin retained composite restoration.

Results: Composite restoration retained with hard stainless steel pin meets the patients’ expectations of aesthetics; strength and retention of restorative material after the fractured teeth have been treated with RCT.

Conclusion: Hard stainless steel “office” pin retained composite restoration facilitates the retention of the aesthetic material (composite) which results in morale boost, improved patients’ comfort and improved quality of life of patients. Authors hereby suggest the use of hard stainless steel "office" pin as an acceptable improvised post in a resource poor environment rather than risk failure of restoration.

Preparedness for Internship: A Survey of New Interns at a
Tertiary Care Hospital, Telangana
Authors: V Padmavathy , Tekulapally Kranti
Published: October 2021

INTRODUCTION
An internship orientation program is conducted in most of the
medical colleges before the beginning of internship program
to facilitate the transition between medical student and intern.
The present study was initiated to assess the preparedness of
interns for the internship program and identifying the areas
that require additional training and education.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A cross sectional study was carried out among 2014 batch
interns of Malla Reddy Medical College for Women, Suraram,
Hyderabad. Hard copies of the study questionnaire prepared
and validated by expert panel was administered to the interns
before and after the two-day internship orientation program.
The outcomes were measured on 5-point quantitative scale.
The raw scores obtained by each student were converted to
percentages.The scores less than or equal to 49% were
considered low, the scores between 50% to 70% were
considered as average and scores above 71% were considered
high with respect to level of preparedness for internship. Two
open ended questions were asked – additional topics to be
included in the program and other suggestions.
RESULTS
A total of 110 students completed the study. Only 2% of the
interns were highly prepared for hospital practice before the
orientation program while this number increased to 78% after
the program. Interns expressed their desire to learn new topics
like basic first aid to minor injuries, management of trauma
cases and Road Traffic Accidents and handling of medical
emergencies during the orientation program. They also
suggested that there should more focus on practical
demonstrations and hands on training in skill lab during this
program.
CONCLUSION
here is significant improvement in the preparedness of interns
after the orientation program indicated the program helped
to boost the confidence of the interns for hospital practice.

The efficacy of a homoeopathic mother tincture complex (Vitex agnus castus, Melissa officinalis and Valeriana officinalis) in the management of premenstrual dysphoric disorder
Authors:   , Sukati Behlulile Nonsikelelo Stoppy
Published: October 2021

Research Problem Statement Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that involves a combination of emotional and physical symptoms that result in significant functional impairment. PMDD can be debilitating and there are multiple treatment options available, but these are not without side effects. Although complimentary or alternative medicine may be beneficial in treating PMDD, however, there is not enough data available to validate their effectiveness. This study aimed at comparing and determining the efficacy of a homoeopathic mother tincture complex (Vitex agnus castus, Melissa officinalis and Valeriana officinalis) compared to placebo in the management of PMDD. Methodology A sample size of 30 consenting female participants with PMDD who met the inclusion criteria as set out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The duration of the study was three months for each participant. Participants were randomly divided into experimental and placebo groups with three consultations over the study period where Kessler Psychological Distress Scale and Visual Analogue Scale were applied. Non-parametric and inferential analysis of data were performed to analyse and compare the effects of treatment and time on symptoms over the three consultation periods (α.05). Results Results for both scales showed no statistical significance in the interaction between time and treatment. The results showed no statistical differences between the control and experimental group in the management of PMDD. However, the mean value measured in the experimental group were consistently lower than the control. Conclusion The conclusion derived from this study is that the homoeopathic complex studied is not effective in the treatment of PMDD. None of the results showed significant differences between the treatment and the placebo group trials. Further studies are highly recommended in this field.
OVERVIEW OF RESEARCHES ON ENGLISH TEACHING AND LEARNING: ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES
Authors: Nguyễn Thị Hương Lan
Published: October 2021

The increasing demand of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has resulted in the need for a lingua franca of science, technology, education, and business. The field of ESP has promptly flourished recently to play an important part in English language teaching and research. Accordingly, the desires to master technical terms to meet job requirements force people to know ESP rather than basic English for daily communication. Researches on teaching and learning ESP have been conducted widely not only in Vietnam but other countries by high prestigious scholars and knowledgeable researchers with the main purpose to figure out the most effective approaches, which enables educators, teachers and learners as well to adapt the best teaching methods to accomplish their wishes. Based on material research methodology, an overview of studies on teaching and learning ESP both inside and outside Vietnam, as well as background knowledge on ESP teaching and learning, the researcher indicates the challenges, opportunities and benefits brought to teachers and learners in ESP training.

An Arctic ozone hole in 2020 if not for the Montreal Protocol
Authors: Wilka Catherine , Solomon Susan , Kinnison Doug , Tarasick David
Published: October 2021

Abstract. Without the Montreal Protocol, the already extreme Arctic ozone losses in the boreal spring of 2020 would be expected to have produced an Antarctic-like ozone hole, based upon simulations performed using the specified dynamics version of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (SD-WACCM) and using an alternate emission scenario of 3.5 % growth in ozone-depleting substances from 1985 onwards. In particular, we find that the area of total ozone below 220 DU (Dobson units), a standard metric of Antarctic ozone hole size, would have covered about 20 million km2. Record observed local lows of 0.1 ppmv (parts per million by volume) at some altitudes in the lower stratosphere seen by ozonesondes in March 2020 would have reached 0.01, again similar to the Antarctic. Spring ozone depletion would have begun earlier and lasted longer without the Montreal Protocol, and by 2020, the year-round ozone depletion would have begun to dramatically diverge from the observed case. This extreme year also provides an opportunity to test parameterizations of polar stratospheric cloud impacts on denitrification and, thereby, to improve stratospheric models of both the real world and alternate scenarios. In particular, we find that decreasing the parameterized nitric acid trihydrate number density in SD-WACCM, which subsequently increases denitrification, improves the agreement with observations for both nitric acid and ozone. This study reinforces that the historically extreme 2020 Arctic ozone depletion is not cause for concern over the Montreal Protocol's effectiveness but rather
demonstrates that the Montreal Protocol indeed merits celebration for
avoiding an Arctic ozone hole.
The impact of nitrogen and sulfur emissions from shipping on the exceedance of critical loads in the Baltic Sea region
Authors: Jutterström Sara , Moldan Filip , Moldanová Jana , Karl Matthias , Matthias Volker , Posch Maximilian
Published: October 2021

Abstract. The emissions of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) species to the atmosphere from shipping significantly contribute to S and N deposition
near the coast and to acidification and/or eutrophication of soils and
freshwater. In the countries around the Baltic Sea, the shipping volume and
its relative importance as a source of emissions are expected to increase if no efficient regulations are implemented. To assess the extent of
environmental damage due to ship emissions for the Baltic Sea area, the
exceedance of critical loads (CLs) for N and S has been calculated for the
years 2012 and 2040. The paper evaluates the effects of several future
scenarios, including the implementation of NECA and SECA (Nitrogen And
Sulfur Emission Control Areas). The implementation of NECA and SECA caused
a significant decrease in the exceedance of CLs for N as a nutrient
while the impact on the – already much lower – exceedance of CLs for acidification was less pronounced. The relative contribution from
Baltic shipping to the total deposition decreased from 2012 in the 2040
scenario for both S and N. In contrast to exceedances of CLs for
acidification, shipping still has an impact on exceedances for
eutrophication in 2040. Geographically, the impact of shipping emissions is
unevenly distributed even within each country. This is illustrated by
calculating CL exceedances for 21 Swedish counties. The impact, on a national
level, is driven by a few coastal counties, where the impact of shipping is
much higher than the national summary suggests.
Influence of atmospheric deposition on biogeochemical cycles in an oligotrophic ocean system
Authors: Van Wambeke France , Taillandier Vincent , Desboeufs Karine , Pulido-Villena Elvira , Dinasquet Julie , Engel Anja , Marañón Emilio , Ridame Céline , Guieu Cécile
Published: October 2021

Abstract. The surface mixed layer (ML) in the Mediterranean Sea is a well-stratified
domain characterized by low macronutrients and low chlorophyll content for almost 6 months of the year. In this study we characterize the
biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen (N) in the ML by analyzing simultaneous in situ measurements of atmospheric deposition, nutrients in seawater, hydrological conditions, primary production, heterotrophic prokaryotic production, N2 fixation and leucine aminopeptidase activity. Dry deposition was continuously measured across the central and western open Mediterranean Sea, and two wet deposition events were sampled, one in the Ionian Sea and one in the Algerian Basin. Along the transect, N budgets were computed to compare the sources and sinks of N in the mixed layer. In situ leucine aminopeptidase
activity made up 14 % to 66 % of the heterotrophic prokaryotic N demand, and the N2 fixation rate represented 1 % to 4.5 % of the phytoplankton N demand. Dry atmospheric deposition of inorganic nitrogen, estimated from dry deposition of nitrate and ammonium in aerosols, was higher than the N2 fixation rates in the ML (on average 4.8-fold). The dry atmospheric input of inorganic N represented a highly variable proportion of biological N demand in the ML among the stations, 10 %–82 % for heterotrophic
prokaryotes and 1 %–30 % for phytoplankton. As some sites were visited on several days, the evolution of biogeochemical properties in the ML and within the nutrient-depleted layers could be followed. At the Algerian Basin site, the biogeochemical consequences of a wet dust deposition event were monitored through high-frequency sampling. Notably, just after the rain, nitrate was higher in the ML than in the nutrient-depleted layer below. Estimates of nutrient transfer from the ML into the nutrient-depleted layer could explain up to a third of the nitrate loss from the ML. Phytoplankton did not benefit directly from the atmospheric inputs into the ML, probably due to high competition with heterotrophic prokaryotes, also limited by N and phosphorus (P) availability at the time of this study.
Primary producers decreased their production after the rain but recovered
their initial state of activity after a 2 d lag in the vicinity of the
deep chlorophyll maximum layer.
Xylem water in riparian Willow trees (Salix alba) reveals shallow sources of root water uptake by in situ monitoring of stable water isotopes
Authors: Landgraf Jessica , Tetzlaff Dörthe , Dubbert Maren , Dubbert David , Smith Aaron , Soulsby Chris
Published: October 2021

Abstract. Root water uptake is an important critical zone process, as plants can tap various water sources and transpire these back into the atmosphere. However, knowledge about the spatial and temporal dynamics of root water uptake and associated water sources at both high temporal resolution (e.g. daily) and over longer time periods (e.g. seasonal) is still limited. We used cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) for continuous in situ monitoring of stable water isotopes in soil and xylem water for two riparian willow (Salix alba) trees over the growing season (May to October) of 2020. This was complemented by isotopic sampling of local precipitation, groundwater and stream water in order to help constrain the potential sources of root water uptake. A local flux tower, together with sap flow monitoring, soil moisture measurements and dendrometry were also used to provide the hydroclimatic and ecohydrological contexts for in situ isotope monitoring. In addition, bulk samples of soil water and xylem water were collected to corroborate the continuous in situ data. The monitoring period was characterised by frequent inputs of precipitation, interspersed by warm dry periods which resulted in variable moisture storage in the upper 20 cm of the soil profile and dynamic isotope signatures. This variability was greatly damped in 40 cm and the isotopic composition of the sub-soil and groundwater was relatively stable. The isotopic composition and dynamics of xylem water was very similar to that of the upper soil and analysis using a Bayesian mixing model inferred that overall ~90 % of root water uptake was derived from the upper soil profile. Sap flow and dendrometry data indicated that soil water availability did not seriously limit transpiration during the study period, though there was a suggestion that deeper (> 40 cm) soil water might provide a higher proportion of root water uptake (~30 %) in a drier period in the late summer. The study demonstrates the utility of prolonged real time monitoring of natural stable isotope abundance in soil-vegetation systems, which has great potential for further understanding of ecohydrological partitioning under changing hydroclimatic conditions.
Detecting and Characterizing Sea Breezes Over the U.S. Northeast Coast with Implication for Offshore Wind Energy
Authors: Xia Geng , Draxl Caroline , Optis Michael , Redfern Stephanie
Published: October 2021

Abstract. In this study, a new two-step identification method is proposed to detect and characterize three types of sea breezes (pure, corkscrew and backdoor) over the U.S. Northeast coast from a year-long WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) simulation. The results suggest that the proposed detection method can identify the three different types of sea breezes in the model simulation. Key sea breeze features, such as the calm zone associated with pure sea breezes and coastal jets associated with corkscrew sea breezes, are evident in the sea breeze composite imagery. In addition, the simulated sea breeze events indicate a seasonal transition from pure to corkscrew sea breeze between March and August as the land-sea thermal contrast increases. Furthermore, the location and extension of the sea breeze front are different for each type of sea breeze, suggesting that the coastal impact of sea breeze varies with sea breeze type. From the wind energy perspective, the power production associated with a 10 megawatts offshore wind turbine would produce approximately 3 to 4 times more electrical power during a corkscrew sea breeze event than the other two types of sea breezes. This highlights the importance of identifying the correct type of sea breeze in numerical weather/wind energy forecasting.

The sample of the study was drawn from children between the ages of 12-18 years living in Internally Displaced Camps (IDPs) in Makurdi. Simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 300 for the study. Primary data were used for the study specifically obtained using well-structured questionnaire titled internally displaced children (IDC), data collected was analysed using mean and standard deviation. Findings of the study on social life of internally displaced children in Makurdi revealed that Lack of finance to celebrate social activities such as birthday parties, naming ceremonies and sports competitions (4.46), Children appear dirty and tattered due to lack of clothing (3.40), also the findings on financial challenges indicates Low level of income due to lack of business and means of livelihood (3.62), Depends on people for financial assistance (begging) (3.58). Furthermore, the study on feeding pattern of internally displaced children shows that children hardly eat twice a day (3.55), lack required food nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals (3.40).

Finally the study recommends improvement of social life of internally displaced children should be given uppermost attention the government and non- government organisations responsible for child upbringing. The governments should make frantic effort to ensure adequate provision of basic amenities such as water, food and shelter. Emergency healthcare and education (schools) should be provided in IDPs camps. Good food should be provided for children in internally displaced camps to avoid malnutrition that leads to ill health. Causes insecurity and other crisis that leads to displacement of families should be given lasting solutions by government and communities concerned. The Children should be encouraged to adopt a good environmental sanitation which will go a long way to help prevent them from contracting some sickness and disease.

A Hospital Based Study
Authors: Akram Mubashar , Shokat Iram , Akram Mudasar
Published: October 2021

Background: Acute appendicitis is the most common acute surgical condition of the abdomen, which if complicated by perforation or peritonitis has high morbidity and mortality.
Aim: The aim of this study is to analyze the presentation, diagnosis and management of acute appendicitis along with the role of conservative management in uncomplicated cases.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in Govt. Medical College Jammu over a period of one year w.e.f September 2017 to August 2018 and included 120 patients. Diagnosis in the suspected patients was based on history, clinical examination coupled with laboratory investigations and imaging modalities like ultrasound/ CT Scan wherever required.
Results: 120 patients of acute appendicitis were treated over the period of one year at our center. Abdominal pain was the most common and constant presentation seen in 112 patients followed by vomiting (82), history of fever (60), history of constipation and distension (20) and another 12 had history of diarrhoea. Six patients (5%) responded favorably to conservative management.
Conclusion: Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency requiring detailed history and meticulous examination coupled with X-ray and ultrasonography for diagnosis. Appendectomy is the standard procedure of choice and wherever feasible laparoscopic appendectomy offers the advantage of less pain, short hospital stay, earlier return to work and overall cost.

One-Minute Deep Breathing Assessment and its Relationship to 24-Hour HRV Measurements
Authors: McCraty Rollin , Atkinson Mike , Dispenza Joe
Published: October 2021

Heart rate variability (HRV), the change in the time intervals between adjacent heartbeats, is an emergent property of interdependent regulatory systems that operates on different time scales to adapt to environmental and psychological challenges. Low age-adjusted HRV has been confirmed as a strong, independent predictor of future health problems in both healthy people and patients with a wide range of diseases that correlate with all-cause mortality. Twenty-four–hour HRV recordings are considered the gold standard and have greater predictive power on health risk than short-term recordings. However, it is not always practical or cost effective to obtain 24-hour HRV recordings, and short-term recordings have been widely used in research and clinical applications for many years. This article will report on the first in a series of research investigations on short-term HRV assessments. The first study examined the correlations between a 10-minute resting state, a 1-minute paced deep breathing protocol, response to handgrip, and 24-hour HRV measures in 28 healthy individuals. Based on the results of the initial study, the primary study examined the correlations between the 1-minute paced deep breathing assessment and 24-hour measures in a general population of 805 individuals. Overall, the findings from the studies suggested that the 1-minute paced deep breathing assessments were highly correlated with 24-hour measures of vagally mediated HRV and very-low-frequency power. The findings from this study suggest that the 1-minute paced deep breathing protocol is an ideal short-term assessment that can be used in a health risk screening context. When low values are observed, it is recommended that a 24-hour assessment be conducted.

Factors that contribute to the internationalization of the Qatari Small and Medium Enterprises
Authors: Al Jaber Hamad , Katsioloudes Marios
Published: October 2021

This study aims to identify the factors that the Qatari government can contribute to Qatar’s internationalization of Small-Medium Enterprises (SME). In addition, it highlights the current role played with a variation of the future proposed programs. The obstacles faced by entrepreneurs also have been identified, and was accompanied by counterparts’ views from the country’s officials.

This study involved an online survey shared with 100 business owners and people working in the private sectors targeted through different mediums with help from Qatar Development Bank and their subsidiaries. The overall conclusion from the data analyzed is that there are still missing factors that the country lacks regulations, facilities, and education. However, there is evidence that the Qatari regulator moves in the right direction with the different initiatives and programs. Therefore, even though there are existing facilities, the programs offered do not fit the entrepreneurs’ needs. The entrepreneurs lack the managerial and marketing skills and the power in bargaining and negotiation with external stakeholders.

The main recommendation is to set national private sector/SME advancement techniques within the broader national advancement translated in a centralized portal based on the overall conclusion. Different recommendations have been proposed to provide proper training programs’ implementation plan. The proposals include the capacity of the Qatari government to actualize sound macroeconomic arrangements. The training programs to involve the teachers’ development expand the learner’s ranks, content sharing facility, and instructional methods redesigning. In addition, accessibility to loans and advanced finance equity, mainly to medium and long-term opportunities to grow SMEs’ exchange and venture capacity align with the Qatari National Vision 2030, whereas keeping up sound government accounts will offer assistance to the accessibility of finance for improvement purposes.
