Reorientation of State Policies to Combat COVID-19: A Rapid Assessment of an India State Exerting Social Control Measures
Authors: swain Pranaya
Published: June 2020

The COVID-19 virus
is highly contagious as it does not respect borders, societies or communities.
Even with most of the world in lockdown and clinicians battling with support
measures for those infected, the governments are borrowing combat measures from
each other despite scores of uncertainties. However early or late stage a
country is in as regards to the virus spread, the governments are desperately
trying to arrest the crisis that is dynamic and ever evolving. As such there is
very little to claim about the success or lack of it, of any measure as a
preventive or curative one. With this at the backdrop, this paper intends to
provide a rapid assessment of reorientation of Government policies and
strategies to address the emergent health and non-health issues associated
therewith. With lots of limitations and within the ever-changing scenario of
COVID-19 calling for continuous changes in the adopted measures, the paper
documents key themes and policy changes that the Government of an Indian State-Odisha,
known widely for its track record of disaster preparedness and management, has
adopted in a challenging and dynamic situation. It utilises known and select
Governmental and institutional sources to offer insights into some core social,
economic and political issues that social scientists and policy researchers
will be interested in investigating further in the days to come.
The research component in the professional education of history majors
Authors: Simashenkov Pavel
Published: June 2020

The article is devoted to the topic of "traces of the past” interpretation; its relevance is due to both the need to improve the training of history majors and the aggravation of the fight against falsifications of history (primarily domestic). The aim of the research is to analyze the correlation of humanitarian, social and technological components in the methodology of teaching historical disciplines. The comparative method was chosen as a key method. The work uses the method of hypotheses, content analysis of the source base, and experience in studying University teaching practice. Identifying the prerequisites for “incorrect" interpretation of historical events, the author compares legal, forensic and philosophical approaches.

ABO Blood Type and Personality Traits: Evidence from Large-scale Surveys in Japan
Authors: Kanazawa Masayuki
Published: June 2020

The relationship between blood type and
personality has long been one of the more challenging issues of scientific
studies. Several large-scale surveys were conducted to address the issue, and
some of them had shown statistically significant associations. This study
analyzed data from two large-scale surveys (Survey 1: N = 1,000, Survey 2: N =
1,859) to examine the relationship between blood type and personality. ANOVA
results indicated that 17 of the total 20 respondents’ own blood type
characteristic question items scored higher as “fit to my personality” than the
averages of the other blood types. In both Survey 1 and 2, the same differences
in scores were found in the groups who reported no blood type personality
knowledge, although the values were smaller. Thus, we observed a clear and
significant relationship between blood type and personality in large-scale
surveys.
Attitudes of children with cochlear implants or hearing aids to inclusive education in the Canary Islands
Authors: Alegre de la Rosa Olga María , Villar Angulo Luis Miguel
Published: June 2020

Abstract

Introduction:
This study raised the following problem: How reliable and relevant is the Inclusion for Children and Adolescents Questionnaire
(ICAQ) to measure the attitudes
of children and adolescents with cochlear
implants (CIs) or hearing aids (HAs) to inclusive education (IE) in
public schools in the Canary Islands (i.e.
provinces of Gran Canaria and Tenerife)?

Method:
The sample consisted of 297 students from the province of Gran Canaria, and 137
students from the province of Tenerife with an average of 11 years old. An
exploratory factor analysis (EFA) determined the reliability and relevance of ICAQ.

Results:
The authors found four factors of students’ attitudes towards IE: Family involvement and use of technology, Inclusion
in the centre, Communication with medical specialists and Assessment of the support technology.

Conclusions:
There were significant differences between the students with CIs and HAs in the
following factors: Inclusion in the centre
and Assessment of the support technology.
The total score of students’ attitudes towards IE was high. The factor Inclusion in the centre had the most
favourable total score of students’ original attitudes towards IE. Communication with medical specialists was
the lowest total attitude score towards IE for students with CIs.

A rebuttal to “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2”: Covid-19 is plausibly from a manmade virus. Emergency regulatory reform for stopping epidemics
Authors: Stout Timothy R
Published: June 2020

A recent letter in Nature Medicine (www.doi.org/10.1038/s41591-020-0820-9) claims that genomic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 shows that it is clearly not manmade and that natural evolutionary causes are adequate to explain its appearance. By contrast the case is made here that genomic analysis of the virus shows that directed evolution, a human engineering process honored by the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, provides superior explanation for its origin. The simultaneous appearances of a new RBD backbone, a new polybasic cleavage sight, new fusion improvements, asymptomatic transmission, and an initial stable mutation rate indicative of mature adaptation to a host work together to lead to a common conclusion: directed evolution provides more plausible explanation of the virus’s origin than does natural evolution. The major concern here is not who might have made the virus, but rather that technology already exists and is already well-understood throughout the world which is capable of creating new, future pandemics and appear to be the proximal cause of Covid-19. A pandemic emerges because there are no effective drugs to stop it. Traditional new-drug approval laws effectively prevent newly developed drugs designed to fight a pandemic from being used soon enough to prevent it from becoming entrenched. The Stout Protocol presented here provides a plausible solution to this problem: A Procedural Specification defines the drug approval protocol and is converted into a software program which is then downloaded into a computer. No personal interactions are needed between the government approval agency and the sponsor of a new drug; the computer controls interactions. An approved drug sponsor is immediately given a limited number of volunteers for direct human testing. A physician monitors the results and reports them on a scorecard. The computer processes the scorecards and immediately computes a revised score based on the physicians’ reports. The score determines how many patients a company is allowed to treat and how much monitoring for effectiveness and adverse effects is required after a drug is administered. If a score drops below a predefined value, the drug is removed from the program.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, universities across the world have curtailed face to face teaching. Associated with this is the halt to the delivery of the practical experience required of engineering students. The Multidisciplinary Engineering Education (MEE) team at The University of Sheffield have responded to this in an efficient and effective way by recording the laboratory experiences and putting videos, quizzes and data online for students to engage with. The focus being on ensuring Learning Outcomes for modules and courses have been preserved. Naturally, practical skills cannot be easily provided using this approach, but it is an effective way of getting students to interact with real data, uncertainty and equipment which they cannot access directly .A number of short case studies from across the range of engineering are provided to inspire and guide other educators in how they can move experiments on line in an efficient and effective manner.No student feedback is available at the time of writing, but anecdotal evidence is that this approach is at least acceptable for students and a way of collecting this is suggested. The effort that has gone into this approach and the artefacts produced will support student learning after the initial disruption of the lockdown has passed.
The effect of a parallel free surface upon a submerged shallow synthetic jet
Authors: Kumar Abhay , Karn Ashish
Published: June 2020

The interaction of a submerged shallow synthetic jet with a parallel free surface has gathered substantial interest, owing to its relevance to the operation of marine vehicles viz. ships that move close to the water surface. However, despite exhaustive research on the perturbation on a free surface, very few studies have experimentally investigated the effect of unconfined water surface height on the evolution and propagation of a submerged synthetic jet. This study experimentally investigates a synthetic jet submerged in a quiescent flow at shallow depths ejecting parallel to the free surface, through qualitative analysis and quantitative measurements. The qualitative study includes the visualization of the flow using Plane Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) technique, whereas the velocity measurements are carried out by a five-beam Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) probe. The primary objective of these analysis and measurements is to gain a physical insight into the characteristics of vortex ring in a synthetic jet ejected from a fixed orifice at different water depths and at varying Reynolds number. Our studies indicate that the behavior of the vortex rings drastically changes as the depth of the jet crosses a certain threshold. Although no significant change in the path of synthetic jet is observed beyond a threshold depth in our experiments, the jet trajectory shows an interesting dependence on the Reynolds number based on circulation for shallow water depths. It has been found that in the shallow depths, the vortex ring drifts upwards and interacts with the free surface at lower Reynolds number, whereas for larger Reynolds number, the vortex ring rebounds near the free surface and moves downward. Based on our observations, it can be concluded that the phenomenon of upward/downward flection of vortex rings depends both upon its circulation and water depth.
Confidence Intervals on Implicit Association Test Scores Are Really Rather Large
Authors: Klein Colin
Published: June 2020

Implicit association test scores are presented as point estimates. Unusually for a psychological measure, individual scores are not tested for statistical significance in standard practice. This study estimates individual confidence intervals for a large dataset of IAT scores. The intervals are large. Only half of scores are significantly different from zero. This result raises theoretical concerns about standard interpretations of the IAT.

Published: June 2020

Gossip—a sender communicating to a receiver about an absent third party—is hypothesized to impact reputation formation, partner selection, and cooperation. Laboratory experiments have found that people gossip about others’ cooperativeness and that they use gossip to condition their cooperation. Here,wemove beyond the laboratory and test several predictions from theories of indirect reciprocity and reputation-based partner selection about the content of everyday gossip and howpeople use it to update the reputation of others in their social network. In a Dutch community sample (N = 309), we sampled daily events in which people either sent or received gossip about a target over 10 days (ngossip = 5284). Gossip senders frequently shared information about targets’ cooperativeness and did so in ways that minimize potential retaliation from targets. Receivers overwhelmingly believed gossip to be true and updated their evaluation of targets based on gossip. In turn, a positive shift in the evaluation of a targetwas associated with higher intentions to help them in future interactions, and with lower intentions to avoid them in the future. Thus, gossip is used in daily life to impact and update reputations in a way that enables partner selection and indirect reciprocity.
Time: From the Totality to Quantum Information
Authors: Penchev Vasil Dinev
Published: June 2020

The paper justifies the following theses: The totality can found time if the latter isaxiomatically represented by its “arrow” as a well-ordering. Time can found choice and thusinformation in turn. Quantum information and its units, the quantum bits, can be interpreted astheir generalization as to infinity and underlying the physical world as well as theultimate substance of the world both subjective and objective. Thus a pathway ofinterpretation between the totality via time, order, choice, and information to the substance ofthe world is constructed. The article is based only on the well-known facts and definitions andis with no premises in this sense. Nevertheless it is naturally situated among works and ideasof Husserl and Heidegger, linked to the foundation of mathematics by the axiom of choice, tothe philosophy of quantum mechanics and information.
Does Protest “Distract” Athletes from Performing?: Evidence from the National Anthem Demonstrations in the National Football League
Authors: Hawkins Daniel N. , Lindner Andrew Micah , Hartmann Douglas , Cochran Brianna
Published: June 2020

While there is a long tradition of activism within sport, a frequent criticism of athlete protest is that it is a “distraction” that hinders on-field performance. In 2017, in the midst of widespread demonstrations against racial injustice in the U.S. among players in the National Football League (NFL), the sports community reprised the “it’s a distraction” refrain. Using data drawn from multiple sources, we first explore which factors related to players’ likelihood of protesting. Then, using a series of analyses at the player-game level (n=19,051) and the team-game level (n=512), we tested the assertion that protest is detrimental to individual and team performance. The results of this study allow us to better understand factors that may constrain professional athletes’ participation in protest and challenge a common form of rhetoric used to discourage athlete activism.

Published: June 2020

To date, analysis of the social determinants of cognitive health among younger adults is scant, especially in the US context. This study set out to test the extent to which established models of life-course health development are able to explain the reciprocal relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and cognitive functioning from childhood through young adulthood. To do this, we used data from a nationally representative sample followed prospectively from adolescence through young adulthood that included information on SES and cognitive functioning at multiple points across the early life course. Additionally, this study aimed to expand these models by directly testing the role of occupational mental and social stimulation in influencing young-adulthood cognitive functioning. We did this by using linked occupational data that specifically measured job-task mental and social stimulation. Ultimately, our findings indicate an interwoven relationship between life-course SES, occupational characteristics, and cognition functioning across adolescence and young adulthood.

Methods Used to Assess Student Performance and Course Outcomes at the National Center of Excellence in Dairy Production Medicine Education for Veterinarians
Authors: Royster Erin , Morin Dawn E. , Molgaard Laura , Wingert Deb , Fetrow John
Published: June 2020

Between 2012 and 2014, three cohorts of senior veterinary students participated in an 8-week dairy production medicine course created by the National Center of Excellence in Dairy Production Medicine Education for Veterinarians. One goal of this course is to better prepare veterinary students to serve the increasingly complex needs of the dairy industry. In this article, we describe the assessment methods and student performance outcomes of those first three cohorts. A combination of assessment methods was used, including pre- and post-testing; instructor observations and scores on individual and group projects, including a final integrative project; and peer evaluation. Student feedback, collected via anonymous survey, provided insight into students’ perceptions about the course and their learning. Performance and feedback suggest that the course was successful in preparing students for careers using skills in dairy production medicine. Pre- and post-testing was conducted for most topic modules in the course. The mean (median) pre- and post-test scores were 47% (50% ) and 83% (88%), respectively. The mean improvement in score was significant ( p < .002) for all modules and cohorts. Students indicated a moderate or high degree of confidence in performing dairy production medicine skills after each module. Of students in cohorts 1, 2, and 3, respectively, 55%, 75%, and 82% felt they could provide dairy production medicine services (e.g., records analysis, problem investigation, protocol and standard operating procedure design) either alone or with some mentoring, immediately after graduation. In addition, assessment results and student feedback enabled timely course modifications during these first three cohorts.

Experimental investigation of fatigue failure in an ASTM A401 compression spring of a passenger car
Authors: Gupta Ashish , Noida Greater , Rastogi Vikas , Kumar Bhagi Loveleen
Published: June 2020

This work outlines the fatigue failure in a failed helical coiled compression spring of a passenger car used as a commercial vehicle. As a failure investigation case study, the fractured left rear axle suspension spring of the car is thoroughly examined. The fractographic investigations included the visual examination, spectroscopy, microstructure analysis, SEM and micro-hardness testing. The foremost causes of failure have been identified. From the SEM fractograph, microvoid coalescence is observed at the grain boundaries on of the fractured surface which eventually resulted in intergranular dimple rupture. Residual stress is also measured on the fractured surface through two-dimensional (2-D) imaging using a Debye Scherrer ring, with the conclusion that the spring under investigation experiences micro-stress due to the variation of theintergranular spacing resulting from the vibrations induced by overloading, road conditions and prolonged use which eventually results in a rupturing of the compression spring.

Published: June 2020

There are no recent studies that have evaluated the epidemiological relationship between dental
manipulations the etiology of IE by these microorganisms, basically Streptococcus viridans. Our objective
is to analyse the relationship between these variables and the possible therapeutic implications. For this, we
have analysed a prospective single-center series of IE in patients not addicted to parenteral drugs collected
and followed between 1987 and 2018. 403 cases of native and late prosthetic IE were diagnosed and
followed up in our center. Of them, 91 were produced by oral streptococci (22.6%). The percentage of this
microorganism has remained constant throughout the 30 years (24.8% of the cases from 1987-1997, 25%
of those from 1998-2007 and 19.1% from 2008-2018. Although there was a history of dental manipulation
in a greater proportion in cases of IE due to Streptococcus viridans (24% vs. 6.5%, p <0.001), in most cases
due to Streptococcus viridans (76% of them) there was no previous dental manipulation. In these cases, the
infection may be due to the usual daily manipulations of the mouth (brushing, dental floss) or periodontal
disease. Given this low sensitivity, it cannot be ruled out that IE is caused by this microorganism in the
absence of a history of visiting the dentist, with the implications for empirical antibiotic treatment that this
entails
Use of Cutis Graft as Biologic Prosthesis in Complicated Abdominal Closures: A Case Report
Authors: Cook Michael W. , Mulloy Clairissa , Hodgdon I. , Paige J. , Cook Michael W.
Published: June 2020

Background: Loss of domain, fascial separation, and wound contamination are all recognized challenges
of complex abdominal wall reconstruction. Often, traditional therapies, such as fascial advancement, mesh
reinforcement, and the use of bio-prostheses for infection are insufficient. Recently, we have investigated
using cutis as an alternative therapy. We present the case of a 61-year old male treated in such a manner.
Methods: Our patient presented to our facility with a fascial defect of 30 by 40 cm, and an infected skin
graft after undergoing an exploratory laparotomy for a gunshot wound at an outside hospital. During his
course, he failed multiple traditional therapies, leaving him with a large open wound, four paired
enterocutaneous fistulae, and a cholecystocutaneous fistula. We repaired his fistulae, performed a staged
fascial closure, and reinforced it by placing an autograft of de-epithelialized dermis over it, bridging some
areas of fascia.
Results: The patient had rapid incorporation of his cutis graft, with granulation over the graft within 72
hours. Within three months, all wounds had healed, and the patient had fully recovered.
Conclusions: Cutis autograft as a means for reinforcing abdominal wall closure is a versatile tool in the
armamentarium of the surgeon to treat complex abdominal wall reconstruction. In the setting of failure of
traditional therapies for fascial closure, it can potentially help with simultaneous bridging and
reinforcement, demonstrating the strength of this type of repair
Anacardium Occidentale by-Product: A Review on Sustainable Application and Added-Value
Authors: Barve Ketaki , Vaishali Agte , Amit Arora , Barve Ketaki
Published: June 2020

Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) tree is mainly known for the production of cashew nuts. Cashew apple
also known as pseudo-fruit is the by-product of cashew nut production. The fruit is often neglected due to
its high perishability. It is important to note that cashew nut production leads to average wastage of around
2 million tons in Maharashtra alone. Additionally, cashew apple needs to be known for its value-added
potential as it is a rich source of ascorbic acid, polyphenols, minerals, vitamins and sugars. Recovery of
these high-value nutrients may render the cashew apple processing sustainable and will further add value to
the fruit waste. The authors herein review the sustainable application and benefit of cashew apple as a byproduct of cashew nut production.

Cryptococcosis is a significant opportunistic infection in solid organ transplant recipients. Patients may have
asymptomatic colonization or symptoms of isolated pulmonary disease and severe pneumonia. The disease
is diagnosed by culture, direct microscopy or detection of cryptococcal antigen in the body fluid or tissues.
We herein present a C. neoformans pneumonia in a renal transplant patient. An 18-year-old male, renal
transplanted from his mother, admitted to hospital due to increase in creatinine. On physical examination,
there was no finding other than hypertension and operation scar. Urea and creatinine were increased. Renal
doppler USG revealed increased renal parenchymal echogenicity. Immunosuppressive drug levels were in
normal range. Renal biopsy was consistent with acute cellular rejection and treatment was started. Fever
appeared on the following week. Immunosuppressants doses were reduced; antibiotics started empirically.
HRCT revealed multiple nodules, lymphadenopathies and pleural effusion. C. neoformans was detected in
blood culture. Detailed history revealed the patient was pigeon feeder. Amphotericin B and fluconazole was
started. On follow up BPAP was needed owing respiratory distress. Blood culture became negative on the
13th day of treatment. The treatment of the patient was completed in six weeks and followed by prophylaxis.
The patient is now being followed up at baseline creatinine 1.73 mg / dl in the 1st year after discharge. We
would like to remind that opportunistic fungal infections may also be the cause of fever in solid organ
transplant patients. It should be noted these infections may result with high mortality without early diagnosis
and appropriate treatment.

Uzun süre uygulanan antrenman programları sporcuların gelişimi ve sportif performansı geliştirmek ve sürdürebilmek için önem arz etmektedir. Bu bilgiler ışığında araştırmada müsabaka döneminde uygulanan voleybol ve dayanıklılık antrenmanlarının voleybolcuların fiziksel uygunluk profillerini etkisini belirmek amacıyla yapıldı. Araştırma grubunu voleybol takımlarında oynayan 20 sporcu oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmaya katılan sporculara üç ay süreyle bir günü kondisyona yönelik antrenman olmak üzere hafta beş gün ve günde seksen dakika olmak üzere kondisyonel ve voleybola yönelik antrenman uygulanmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan sporculardan antrenmanlara başlanmadan ve bitiminde olmak üzere boy, vücut ağırlığı, dikey sıçrama, esneklik, el kavrama kuvveti, reaksiyon hızı ve bacak kuvveti ölçümleri alındı. Verilerin analizinde Paired Samples T testi kullanıldı ve anlamlılık düzeyi p>0,05 kabul edildi. Araştırma sonuçlarında voleybol sporcularının, bacak kuvveti, el kavrama kuvvetleri, dikey sıçrama, esneklik, yirmi ve otuz metre, çeviklik, işitsel ve görsel reaksiyon değerlerinde istatiksel olarak farklılık olduğu (p<0,05), on metre değerinde istatiksel olarak farklılığının olmadığı belirlendi (p>0,05). Sonuç olarak, düzenli olarak uygulanan antrenmanlarının sporcuların fiziksel uygunluk profillerini önemli derecede etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda uygulanan antrenmanların sporcuların atletik performansını ve sağlığını olumlu yönde etkileyeceği düşünülmektedir.

OBJECTIVE

Cushing’s disease (CD) patients experience a range of debilitating symptoms that impair quality of life (QOL) as assessed using generic measures. These generic measures are inadequate to capture the disease-specific burden of illness. The development of the CD-specific QOL-CD measure of QOL using items generated by CD patients and healthcare professionals will provide a holistic assessment of patient outcomes and efficacy of novel therapies.

METHODS

A total of 96 CD patients participated. A list of 177 items (version 1.0) was generated by treated CD patients (n = 9), caregivers (n = 2), healthcare providers (n = 7), and results of a MEDLINE search. Item reduction was performed through content analysis and dual scaling. Patients’ rating of importance was incorporated to reduce to a final version of 56 items (version 3.0). Evidence for test-retest reliability was sought through administering the QOL-CD 1 week apart and Cronbach’s α of each subscale. Construct validity was assessed through extreme group analysis and comparison with the normal Canadian population. Concurrent validity was sought through comparison with the SF-36, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Brain (FACT-Br), and Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS). Perioperative testing was conducted on CD patients (n = 25) against nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma controls (n = 25) through pre- and postoperative testing.

RESULTS

A total of 96 CD patients (86 females and 10 males; mean age 45.23 ± 14.16 years) participated. The QOL-CD was feasible (mean completion time 15 minutes, with 70% believing accurate capture of QOL), reliable (CD 1 week apart: r = 0.86; control 1 week apart: r = 0.83; Cronbach’s α: general health = 0.73, emotional health = 0.85, physical health = 0.78, mental status = 0.82, social well-being = 0.63, medical treatment = 0.54), and valid (extreme group testing p < 0.001; SF-36 and QOL-CD general health: r = 0.56, social well-being: r = 0.21, emotional health: r = 0.61, total score: r = 0.58; FACT-Br and QOL-CD physical health: r = 0.47, social well-being: r = 0.21, emotional health: r = 0.34, total score: r = 0.68; KPS and QOL-CD general health: r = 0.32, total score: r = 0.14). Perioperative testing of CD patients (n = 25) demonstrated improvement in all subscales postoperatively, with a significant difference in emotional health (p < 0.001) and physical health (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

The QOL-CD questionnaire has been developed for patients with CD and has demonstrated evidence for validity and reliability.

Published: June 2020

OBJECTIVE

Endoscopic pituitary surgery (EPS) via the endonasal transsphenoidal approach is well established as an effective treatment modality for sellar masses. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between key patient and operative variables and rhinological outcomes as determined by the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) and endoscopic scores following EPS.

METHODS

Prospectively collected SNOT-22 scores and objective endoscopic data were analyzed from a cohort of 109 patients who underwent EPS and had at least 90 days of postoperative follow-up. Trends in postoperative SNOT-22 scores were analyzed using linear mixed-effects models. Time to return to baseline endoscopic score was analyzed using Cox regression.

RESULTS

After adjusting for age and sex, the authors found that prior smokers had higher total and rhinological subdomain SNOT-22 scores (p < 0.01, 95% CI 5.82–16.39; p = 0.01, 95% CI 1.38–5.09, respectively) following EPS. Nasoseptal flap use also showed higher total and rhinological subdomain SNOT-22 scores (p = 0.01, 95% CI 1.62–12.60; p = 0.02, 95% CI 0.42–4.30, respectively). Prior sinonasal surgery and concurrent septoplasty did not affect the change in SNOT-22 total scores over time (p = 0.08, 95% CI −0.40 to 0.02; p = 0.33, 95% CI −0.09 to 0.29).

CONCLUSIONS

The findings suggest that the evolution of healing and patient-reported quality of life (QOL) measures are multifaceted with contributions from two key variables. Nasoseptal flap usage and prior smoking status may adversely impact postoperative QOL. No variables were found to be associated with objective postoperative endoscopic findings.
