Authors: Bello Oluwasomidoyin Olukemi , Agboola Adebayo Damilola
Published: August 2022

Background:

The caesarean section (CS) is the most common operation performed globally with increased incidence worldwide.

Aim and Objectives:

Using the Robson 10-Group Classification System (RTGCS), we aimed to identify women who were the main contributors to the high CS rate (CSR) over a 3-year period at a foremost tertiary health facility.

Settings:

This study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

This study is a retrospective study of all women who delivered by CS at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria from January 2017 to December 2019. Data were obtained using a structured proforma and women were categorized according to the RTGCS. Data were analysed using SPSS version 21. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean) carried out were presented in tables.

Results:

The CSR was 46.9%. Women in Group 5 (parous women >37 weeks with previous CS and a single foetus in cephalic presentation), Group 1 (nulliparous women >37 weeks with a single foetus in cephalic presentation and spontaneous labour), and Group 10 (women <37 weeks with a single foetus in cephalic presentation) were major contributors to the CSR, with 30.9%, 17.7%, and 13.7%, respectively. Stillbirth rates were highest in Groups 10 (30.3%), 3 (24.4%), and 8 (16.8%). Apgar score <7 at the 5th minute was highest in Groups 5 (29.7%), 10 (17%), and 1 (16.6%).

Conclusion:

In a bid to reduce caesarean deliveries, efforts should focus on increasing the proportion of vaginal deliveries in these identified groups, especially in women with a history of one CS.

Published: August 2022

Aim:

The aim of this article was to obtain measurements of the eyeballs/globes and lacrimal glands in normal subjects using cranial computed tomography (CT) scan. Understanding the normative approximations of these measurements could help in diagnosing and evaluating orbito-ocular pathologies.

Materials and Methods:

This retrospective study examined 220 globes/eyeballs and 220 lacrimal glands of 110 consecutive participants. The eyeball volume was calculated using both the ellipsoid and spherical formulas, whereas lacrimal gland volume was approximated using the ellipsoid formula only.

Results:

The mean age of the subjects was 51.18 ± 14.85 years and ranged from 22 to 85 years. The study population was 53.6% male (n = 59) and 46.3% female (n = 51). The mean volumes of all globes in this study were 5.82 ± 0.77 and 5.98 ± 0.75 cm3 using the ellipsoid and spherical formulae, respectively. The mean volume of all lacrimal glands was 0.42 ± 0.14 cm3 using the ellipsoid formula. The mean globe volumes using the ellipsoid and spherical formulae (6.02 ± 0.84 and 6.02 ± 0.84 cm3) in males were significantly larger than the corresponding mean globe volumes in females (5.59 ± 0.62 and 5.80 ± 0.65 cm3) (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.001, respectively). There was no significant difference between the lacrimal gland volumes of males (0.42 ± 0.14 cm3) and females (0.42 ± 0.14 cm3) (P = 0.84).

Conclusion:

Males have larger eyeball/globe volumes than females. Eyeball and lacrimal gland volumes did not correlate significantly. Eyeball volume showed an inverse relationship with age. Age did not affect lacrimal gland volume.

Buccal fat pad (BFP) is widely used in oral and maxillofacial surgery, with paucity of literature describing its use in orbital reconstruction. We report a case of a 23year old female who had orbital floor defect surgically reconstructed with a pedicled buccal fat pad following maxillectomy.
Discordance of chronic rhinosinusitis disease control between EPOS guidelines and patient perspectives identifies utility of patient-rated control assessment
Authors: Sedaghat A.R. , Singerman K.M. , Phillips K.M.
Published: August 2022

Background: The objective of this study was to determine concordance of patient-reported chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) disease control with CRS disease control assessed according to European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS) criteria. Methods: In 421 participants, CRS disease control was determined using EPOS criteria which include the burden of 5 symptoms measured on a binary scale, use of rescue medications in the prior 6 months and presence of diseased mucosa on nasal endoscopy. Symptom severity was also assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Participants rated their CRS disease control as “controlled”, “partly controlled” or “uncontrolled”. Results: Patient-reported and EPOS-based CRS disease control ratings agreed for 49.6% of participants. Amongst cases of disagreement, EPOS guidelines assessed worse CRS disease control relative to 92.9% of patients. Facial pain/pressure and impaired sense of smell distinctly associated with patient agreement with EPOS guidelines on having “uncontrolled” CRS. Higher VAS symptom scores were associated with worse patient-reported CRS disease control (i.e., agreeing with EPOS guidelines). Removal of the nasal endoscopy criterion improved agreement between patients’ and EPOS control assessments, and replacement of this criterion with patient-reported control further aligned EPOS guidelines with patient perspectives. Conclusions: EPOS guidelines regularly assess worse CRS control than assessed by patients. The lack of more gradated symptom severity criteria and inclusion of nasal endoscopy may contribute to discordance of EPOS guidelines with patient-reported CRS control. Replacement of nasal endoscopy findings with a measure of patient-reported CRS disease control better aligns EPOS CRS disease control guidelines with patients’ perspectives.

Published: August 2022

This study examines the short-term impact of COVID-19 restrictions on small-sized enterprises based on phone and social media interviews. This research aimed to study Cottage, Micro, and Small Enterprises (CMSEs) during the covid-19 pandemic and analyze the policy measures taken afterwards. Affected by problems of logistics challenges, labour shortages, and drops in demand, most Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) were temporarily closed at the time of the first wave of covid-19 during our survey. We found several challenges encountered by the CMSEs owners during the early outbreak of Covid-19. This study used a descriptive analysis method of primary data obtained directly from field surveys and secondary data from Bangladesh Bank and SME foundation. This study focuses on the Dhaka city area during the Covid-19 pandemic. After reining in COVID-19, authorities eased lockdown restrictions in August 2020, and most of the small businesses had reopened by this time. Considering their issues and problems, the Government of Bangladesh and Bangladesh Bank have taken several policy measures to mitigate the loss of SME owners during the pandemic. These policies are also mentioned at the end of the study.
Small Promise CSPs that reduce to large CSPs
Authors: Kazda Alexandr , Mayr Peter , Zhuk Dmitriy
Published: August 2022

For relational structures A, B of the same signature, the Promise Constraint
Satisfaction Problem PCSP(A,B) asks whether a given input structure maps
homomorphically to A or does not even map to B. We are promised that the input
satisfies exactly one of these two cases.
If there exists a structure C with homomorphisms $A\to C\to B$, then
PCSP(A,B) reduces naturally to CSP(C). To the best of our knowledge all known
tractable PCSPs reduce to tractable CSPs in this way. However Barto showed that
some PCSPs over finite structures A, B require solving CSPs over infinite C.
We show that even when such a reduction to finite C is possible, this
structure may become arbitrarily large. For every integer $n>1$ and every prime
p we give A, B of size n with a single relation of arity $n^p$ such that
PCSP(A, B) reduces via a chain of homomorphisms $ A\to C\to B$ to a tractable
CSP over some C of size p but not over any smaller structure. In a second
family of examples, for every prime $p\geq 7$ we construct A, B of size $p-1$
with a single ternary relation such that PCSP(A, B) reduces via $A\to C\to B$
to a tractable CSP over some C of size p but not over any smaller structure. In
contrast we show that if A, B are graphs and PCSP(A,B) reduces to tractable
CSP(C) for some finite digraph C, then already A or B has a tractable CSP. This
extends results and answers a question of Deng et al.
EVALUATION OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS IN DRILLING OF AA 7075 T6 PLATE WITH DIFFERENT CUTTING TOOL GEOMETRIES WITH EXPERIMENTAL, STATISTICAL AND DEFORM 3D SIMULATION
Authors: ERKAN Ömer
Published: August 2022

The basis of the study is to examine the average surface roughness (Ra) value resulting from drilling AA 7075 T6 plates with drills with different point angles () and under different cutting parameters. However, two different point angles (118° and 135°), three different cutting speeds (Vc) (40, 60 and 80 m/min) and three different feeds (f) (0.04, 0.08 and 0.12 mm/rev) were preferred in the experiments. The effect of cutting and tool geometry parameters on Ra was digitized by performing an ANOVA analysis. It was determined that Ra increased with the increase of Vc,  and f. The parameter with the most significant effect on Ra was Vc with 49.10%, followed by  with 30.52% and f with 13.67%, respectively. In order to examine the reasons for the increase in Ra value more effectively, drilling simulations were carried out under different cutting parameters using Deform 3D software. The simulation estimated temperature, cutting force and damage during drilling. The predicted results and the factors on Ra were revealed. In the experiments carried out with the drill with a tip angle of 135°, it was estimated that the temperature, the temperature, the cutting force and the damage value along the Z-axis were higher than the drill with a tip angle of 118°.

Ensuring sustainable agriculture by analyzing the European Union and Romanian legislation on soil resources protection
Authors: Cioruța Bogdan Vasile , Coman Mirela Ana
Published: August 2022

Soil is considered to be one of the most complex natural systems on the planet, a key component of the geographical environment, and a biological complex that is constantly changing. Also, the soil is a multifunctional system on which the essential functions of life on Earth are based. As such, soil protection must be a primary concern for the community, as the conservation of soil resources itself requires more than transposition in legislative terms. Thus, on the protection of soils from the point of view of the legislation of the EU and Romania, we set out to make an analysis noting in this paper the main provisions of the acquis communautaire (directives, strategies, decisions, etc.), which come to ensure an interface between the use of soils and their protection for future generations. As a result of the research undertaken we can conclude that both EU and Romanian legislation are still deficient in soil protection, it is not as protected as the other elements of the environment, water, air, and/or biodiversity.
The Physical and Sensory Qualities of ‘Lakatan’ Banana (Musa acuminata) in Response to Different Natural Ripening Agents
Authors: Sampiano Karl Fritze Sibay , Durban April Jeanne E.
Published: August 2022

‘Lakatan’ banana is amongst the most important banana varieties in the Philippines. This variety of bananas is widely known and cultivated due to its good sensory qualities and potential for the export market. Locally, ‘Lakatan’ banana is ripened by retailers through the use of calcium carbide and/or ethephon. However, these ethylene-producing chemicals were reported to cause poisoning and alter the fruit's taste. This study is designed to investigate the effects of natural ripening agents such as plant leaves on the ripening qualities and sensory attributes of ‘Lakatan’ banana under room conditions. The result results revealed that C. muconoides and F. septica significantly induced faster ripening of banana as compared to other treatments. Additionally, the disease severity of ‘Lakatan’ banana was lower in both leaves as compared to other treatments. On the other hand, bananas treated with C. muconoides, F. septica, and A. carambola leaves were found to have a longer marketable days. In terms of sensory quality, fruits treated with C. mucunoides, G. sepium, and A. carambola leaves were found to have high sensory acceptability. The results have concluded that leaves of C. muconoides, F. septica, G. sepium and A. carambola have great potential in ripening climacteric fruits like bananas, and these leaves are good substitutes for chemical ripening agents. The research highlights the need for further studies on the biological sources of ethylene to understand its advantages, including its limitations.

Published: August 2022

The rapid competition between business and sustainability policy has encouraged the coffee industry in Indonesia to make their business more environmentally friendly. However, this initiative has yet to be fully underway. Several inefficiencies still prevail in Arabica coffee production sites, such as product defects in inventory, the inefficiency of production machine performance, and dependence on manpower that can increase the production and inventory costs. Therefore, the Arabica coffee agroindustry needs to improve its performance by addressing these issues in production activity using the lean manufacturing approach. Several tools proven influential to reduce waste in the agroindustry are Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and VALSAT. VSM could document the entire mapping of material and information management, but cannot classify the time required to complete the whole process. VALSAT has several derivative tools, but polyacrylamide (PAM) and Supply Chain Response Matrix (SCRM) are mostly used in agroindustry to classify value-added time of processes and illustrate the supply chain cumulative inventory of a company. The result of this study shows that the Indonesian Arabica coffee industry could reduce its cycle time by 57%, lead time by 63%, and changeover time by 50%. In addition, the recommendations result in the involvement of only 2 people during the drying process and eliminate the non-value-added time, while improving the overall production efficiency and capacity.

The decreasing productivity and increasing environmental pressure on intensive tilapia culture in open waters, especially in floating net cages, have forced the development of a biofloc system for tilapia farming. This study aimed to develop the superior tilapia strain suitable for the biofloc system and to observe their productivity and economic profitability under commercial scale in the biofloc system. The selective breeding activity was carried out on 100 families reared and mated in hapa (a double-walled contrivance in which an inner hapa, made of mosquito netting material, is installed within an outer one made of whole cloth) in the biofloc pond for three generations. The individual selection was conducted at the age of 6 months on the characters of standard length and body weight with the best 10% of the top part of the population as a reference for the formation of the next generation. After three generations, the offspring obtained from mass spawning were grown out in round-limen ponds and square-concrete ponds for productivity and profitability observations. The results showed that heritability values of the biofloc tilapia strain were 0.4196 (standard length, SL) and 0.4898 (body weight, BW). The average response selection of BW and SL was 13.04% and 6.11%, respectively. Biomass gain was obtained between 19.29–28.83 kg/m3. The production multiply value was 8.07-13.59x. The average daily weight growth was between 2.8g-3.0g. The Benefit-Cost ratio is valued from 1.81 to 2.71. The superior tilapia biofloc strain has a moderate heritability value. When it is raised in a biofloc ponds system at different volumes, it significantly affects the productivity on biomass, body weight, and multiplication value. Also, it is advantageous when applied on an industrial scale.

Water resources have been seriously polluted in terms of quality in the last hundred years, especially due to anthropogenic effects. The quality of the water in the storage structures (dam, lake, pond, etc.) has started to deteriorate due to the deterioration in the drainage basin, especially the insufficient feeding. In recent years, researches on the protection and improvement of the quality of water in storage structures have begun to increase. In this study, it was aimed to improve the water quality of Beytepe Pond located in the campus of the Turkish National Botanic Garden Directorate (TNBG) by using Active Microorganism (EM) in laboratory conditions. In the study, Baykal EM1, active microorganism, was used. For improvement water quality was used aerobic (A) and anaerobic (AN) systems in containers with a volume of 10 liters. EM was administered in 3 doses as 5, 10 and 20 ml L-1. pH, conductivity (EC), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and chlorophyll-a values were measured in the pond water. Beytepe Pond water is 3rd class according to the US salinity laboratory salinity classification (USSL). COD and chlorophyll-a values exceed eutrophication limit values. At the beginning of the study, the raw water COD value was measured as 263 mg L-1. It was determined that 5 ml L-1 EM application was reduced up to 2 mg L-1 in anaerobic system application. The same application provided the best improvement in chlorophyll-a values. As a result of the study, it was observed that the EM application provided an improvement in the quality of the Beytepe Pond water.

Diyafragmatik herni, diyaframdaki defekt neticesinde batın organlarının toraksa yer değiştirmesidir. Konjenital ya da edinsel nedenli olabilir (1). Konjenital diafragma hernileri bochadalec hernisi ve morgagni hernisidir. Edinsel nedenli olanlara göre daha sık olup görülme sıklığı 1-5/1000’dir. Edinsel diafram hernilerininen sık nedeni travmadır. Kendiliğinden veya iyatrojenik olarakda ortaya çıkabilir (2). Tedavisinde cerrahi onarım önerilmektedir. Yazımızda konjenital diyafragma hernisi cerrahi tedavi deneyimimizi sunmayı amaçladık. Merkezimizde konjenital diyafragma hernisi nedeniyle Ocak 2011-Aralık 2020 tarihleri arasında ameliyat edilen hastaların dosyaları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Travma ve iatrojenik sebepli fıtığı olan hastalar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Çalışmamıza kriterlere uyan 12 hasta dahil edildi. Bu hastaların demografik verileri, başvuru şikayetleri, preoperatif görüntülemeleri, defekt lokalizasyonları, yapılan cerrahi işlemleri, hastanede yatış süreleri, erken dönem komplikasyonları, nüks ve mortalite oranları kaydedildi. Hastaların 7’si erkek, 5’i kadındı. Yaş ortalaması 60 (34-84) yıl idi. Hikayeleri detaylı sorgulandığında travma veya geçirilmiş cerrahi gibi iatrojenik sebepler yoktu. Tüm hastaların tanıları bilgisayarlı tomografi ile doğrulanmıştı. Defekt lokalizasyonları sağ ve solda eşit sayıdaydı. Hastaların 5’ine primer onarım+mesh herniorafi, 4 üne primer onarım, 3 tanesine sadece mesh ile onarım yapılmıştı. Hastanede ortalama kalış süresi 4 (1-8) gündü. Erken dönemde 2 hastada pulmoner emboli, 2 hastada yara problemi dışında erken ve geç dönem komplikasyon görülmemişti. 2 hastanın tedavisi ani gelişen pulmoner emboli nedeni ile mortalite ile neticelenmişti. Konjenital diyafragma hernileri, çoğunlukla çocuk yaşta tanı alsa da nadiren de olsa ileri yaşlarda da tanı alabilmektedir. Tedavisi cerrahi olup bu tedavinin başarısı yüksek, morbidite ve mortalitesi düşüktür.

Published: August 2022

The aim of this investigation was to search for an algorithm for phasing of exome NGS data that would be optimal for analyzing the cis-/transposition of closely located polymorphic loci in patients with hereditary diseases. The NGS data on clinical exome sequences from 149 patients was collected and analyzed, and its primary processing was carried out. A combined reference panel for phasing and genotype imputation “Belref1000G” was created by adding 131 samples of Belarusian patients to the panel from the “1000 Genomes” project. The most effective methods of phasing have been determined: the Michigan Imputation Server (online service) allows achieving the highest accuracy of phasing data from clinical exomes in Belarus. In cases where an online format of phasing is not appropriate for whatever reason, Beagle software with the combined reference panel “Belref1000G” is recommended for use. Beagle software with the “1000G” reference panel should be used to obtain the longest phasing blocks.

For the bacterium Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aurantiaca B-162 (wild type) and two mutant strains B-162/255 and B-162/17 capable of overproduction of phenazines, a quantitative evaluation of the phz-operon gene expression was carried out during the cultivation of bacteria on full (PMA) and minimal (M9) nutrient media in different phases of culture growth. It was shown that for P. chlororaphis subsp. aurantiaca, the most optimal reference genes are the genes encoding pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (p5cr) and the DNA gyrase subunit A (gyrA). An inverse relationship between the expression levels of phzA and phzB genes was registered for B-162/255 and B-162/17 strains. The expression pattern of the phzC and phzD genes of the B-162/17 strain cultivated on the M9 medium differs markedly from that

in the other studied strains grown on both nutrient media. For all the studied strains, a clear relationship between the phzE gene expression and the nutrient medium was established. PCR-products of phzF and phzG genes in the strain B-162/255 were registered from 12 to 18 hours of cultivation, and in the strain B-162/17 they were registered on the 4th-6th day of cultivation, while in the B-162 strain the expression of these genes was not observed at the studied time points.

Published: August 2022

The present study attempts to explore the relationship between psychological capital and the quality of life among secondary school tutors in Kwara State. The study adopted a descriptive design of ex-post-facto type. Multi-stage sampling technique was to select 420 participants from 6 local government areas in Kwara State. The variables were measured using a validated instrument with a reliability coefficient of 0.81. The data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and regression at 0.05 level of significance. The result confirmed that there was a correlation between hope and resilience and quality of life. The results indicated that hope and resilience had a relationship with quality of life. Therefore psychological capital increases the quality of life of the tutors in Kwara State. Therefore, based on the findings, it was recommended that counselling psychologists should intensify their effort to arrange conferences for educational stakeholders on the effects of positive psychological capital on quality of life.

Official Corruption - in Especially Abuse of Position or Official Authority in Kosovo
Authors: Azemi Arberor
Published: August 2022

Abuse of official position or authority is the commission of an illegal act committed in an official capacity that violates the performance of official duties. Officials who abuse their power are often corrupt. Misappropriation, abuse of trust, and fraud can take many forms. If carried out by an official, it often constitutes corruption. Abuse of power consists of using an official's authority to resolve issues that conflict with the interests of the service. Usually, for such "services," an official receives a certain reward for himself or another person. Abuse of duty means using powers related to the position held contrary to the interests of the service. In our country, as well as in other countries of the world, the phenomenon of abuse of office and corruption continues to be one of the main concerns, for which we need a strategy and laws aimed at preventing and combating this phenomenon. Our whole society is a victim when public officials violate the trust given to them.

Introduction: the lock down during the COVID-19 pandemic meant great changes in the care of patients with diabetes, which could affect metabolic control. Objectives: to assesse whether there were changes in metabolic control in children under 18 years of age with type 1 diabetes followed up in the Nutrition and Diabetes Service of the Pedro de Elizalde Children's General Hospital (HGNPE), after the social isolation measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic and estimate the frequency of acute complications and the variation of the Z-score of Body Mass Index (BMI). Materials and methods: longitudinal, retrospective, observational study. Patients aged 1 to 18 years old with type 1 diabetes of more than one year of evolution, with regular follow-up in the HGNPE, who had been evaluated, with determination of glycosylated hemoglobin, between December 2019 and March 2020 (pre-quarantine) and between December 2020 and March80 2021. Of these patients, those who attended a subsequent control between December 2020 and March 2021 were considered for a comparative analysis. Results: 88 patients were included, of which 59 underwent a control in the second period. The initial HbA1c was 8,8% (IIC 25-75 = 7,42-9,4) and the subsequent one was 8,3% (IIC 25-75 = 7,2-9,95), the z-score of initial BMI was 0,35 ± 1,02 and the subsequent one was 0,37 ± 0,97, with non-significant differences in both cases. 15% (n = 9) of the patients had acute complications. Conclusion: no significant changes were found in HbA1c and BMI z-score between the periods compared. Key words: type 1 diabetes; lock down; COVID-19; metabolic control; body mass index.

Introduction: There is evidence about the close relationship between chronic non-communicable diseases, eating habits and physical activity. Based on the results of the 4th National Survey of Risk Factors (ENFR), an island territory in the province of Buenos Aires was sought where it was assumed that the way of life could have a positive influence. Objectives: to analyze the frequency of habits, the frequency of chronic pathologies and the relationship between them; assuming that a lifestyle away from the big cities would lead to healthier habits, and with it, better health indicators. Material and methods: Prevalence study. A house-to-house survey of 42 homes on Santiago Island, where a survey and physical examination were applied, which included: anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, and capillary blood glucose. Results: Most of the dwellings (71.4%) had fruit trees or orchards in their homes at the time of data collection. However, when making the comparison with the 4th ENFR, the results showed that it was a population in which physical inactivity, poor diet and problematic consumption of alcohol and tobacco exceeded the national average. Chronic diseases resulted in a trend similar to the national one. Conclusions: Although accessibility to resources should be considered an important element, this characteristic is added to87 others due to associated factors such as sociocultural, advertising and aspects of health education. The importance of working deeply on population habits is highlighted, as well as emphasizing the need to implement efficient educational programs with a local perspective. Key words: Cardiovascular risk factors; chronic non-communicable diseases; nutritional habits.

Published: August 2022

O presente texto considera o trabalho como importante registro da presença humana nas paisagens. O dispêndio de energia e esforço humano, assim como as suas intencionalidades e relações de poder, imprimem marcas na paisagem. Apresentamos resultados de pesquisas de campo realizadas em diversas áreas da região Sudeste do Brasil, no bioma da Mata Atlântica. Destacamos os processos de invisibilização do trabalho humano na paisagem, em especial o trabalho de escravizados no Vale do Rio Paraíba do Sul e o trabalho e a produção de energia no século XIX nas florestas estudadas. Propomos dois caminhos para revelar o trabalho oculto na paisagem, a abordagem dialógica e dialética e o reconhecimento do trabalho das pessoas que moldaram a paisagem.
