FIRST RESULTSOF THESEISMICTOMOGRAPHICGEOTRAVERSE "VINNYTSIA – TAGANROG" RESEARCH
Authors: Pigulevskiy P. , Shumlianska L. , Dubovenko Yu.
Published: February 2021

Methodological aspects and results of studying of the stratigraphic section of the upper mantle along the seismic tomographic geotraverse "Vinnytsia – Taganrog" are considered in the article. To localize mantle anomalies associated with changes in the composition, density of the substrate, temperature, etc., an analysis of the curves of the first and second velocity gradients was used to search for the inflection points of the vp curve. A velocity curve was obtained by constructing a seismotomographic model using the Taylor approximation method. Before the curvature analysis, a smoothing procedure was carried out in accordance with the wavelength. This procedure is important for screening false anomalies, the size of which is responsible for Fresnel zones, since the resolution of the seismic wave has the dimension of the Fresnel zones. According to this technique, the curves of the first and second velocity gradients vp were calculated for the upper mantle under the main tectonic structures of the Ukrainian Shield along the "Vinnytsia – Taganrog" geotraverse. The profile crosses the Podol, Bug megablocks, Golovanev suture zone, Ingul megablock, Kryvyy-Rig-Kremenchug suture zone, Middle-Dnipro megablock, Orekhovo-Pavlograd suture zone and Azov megablock.

According to the results, the most significant features of the mantle structure were identified in the depth interval of 50–750 km. A transregional tectonic zone was distinguished (between points 30.0E, 49N and 32.0E, 48.25N), over which the Golovan suture zone (GSZ) and the eastern part of the Bug-Ros megablock and the western part of Ingul, where significant violations of the common mantle border of 660 km are observed – a border between the upper and middle mantle. Under the Podol megablock, this border is located at a depth of 550–560 km. Under GSZ it rises to 450–460 km, and to the east of the suture zone it drops sharply to 660-670 km, where it takes a subhorizontal position. A sharp jump to marks of 450–460 km shows the global breakdown zone and the nature of the contact between different geodynamic mantle regions under the modern platform.

Published: February 2021

The Dombrovsky quarry, which has been in operation since 1967, is the only one in the world where potash ore has been mined by open-pit method. The article considers the body formation mechanism of water-salt brines in the Dombrovsky quarry and gives a brief overview of the problems due to long-term development of the Kalush-Golynsky potassium salts deposit and waste accumulation in the area of hydraulic geofiltration. Such problems include flooding of the Dombrovsky salt quarry, erosion of salt dumps by precipitation, tailings overflows, pollution of the Quaternary supersalt aquifer and significant water quality deterioration danger in urban water intake, development of salt karst and subsidence of the earth's surface, destruction of engineering structures, residential buildings, etc. Analytical data of water inflows dynamics into the quarry and the increase of the drainage area of the quarry riparian part was analyzed, accompanied by drainage of the circular drainage trench – separation of groundwater level from the bed, the karst formation development on the periphery of the quarry (up to 250–350 m and more), anomalous increase in clay-dust fractions in the quarry wastewater after the flooding 2008 with a simultaneous increase in water inflows. According to the research, we can make a conclusion about the unloading of liquid body filling the quarry in the thickness of the pebble supersalt aquifer, filling karst cavities, erosion of the quarry, increasing the volume of the quarry bowl and the size of the groundwater drainage area of alluvial gravel-sand deposits of Sivka and Lymnutsya.

Based on the obtained results, a conclusion was made regarding the threat of the emergency situation development and the deterioration of life safety in areas with disturbed ecological parameters of the geological environment. There is a need for artificial adjustment of the environmental forecast ecological parameters according to monitoring observations
Generation of a Stochastic Seismic Event Set Based on a New Seismicity Model in China’s Earthquake Catastrophe Model
Authors: Xu Weijin , Gao Mengtan , Zuo Huiqiang
Published: February 2021

Earthquakes are among the most devastating natural disasters in China, causing serious casualties and property losses. To effectively reduce catastrophic risk, it is important to establish an earthquake catastrophe insurance system based on the earthquake catastrophe model, of which seismic hazard analysis is a main module. Probabilistic seismic-hazard analysis uses the potential source model, seismicity model, and ground-motion attenuation model, as well as the probability method to obtain the seismic hazard value of a given point. However, because the influence of a single seismic event is required when the earthquake catastrophe model is used for risk analysis, a series of single events needs to be generated according to the potential source model so as to calculate the influence of each event on the given point. In this study, based on the seismicity model (potential sources and their seismicity parameters) used in compiling the fifth generation of Seismic Ground Motion Parameter Zoning Map of China, we use the Monte Carlo method to simulate seismic events conforming to temporal, spatial, and intensity distribution of China’s seismic activities. In the simulation process, we follow the Poisson distribution in occurrence time and the Gutenberg–Richter law in magnitude distribution, and we use potential sources and earthquake occurrence rates to describe spatial distribution. The simulated seismic events include the following parameters: date (year, month, and day), location (longitude and latitude), depth, magnitude, and attitude of seismogenic faults. The simulated seismic event set can support earthquake risk analysis in the earthquake catastrophe model and has been applied in the earthquake catastrophe model of China.

Authors: Patel Saumil M. , Patel Kinjal , Patel Karan , Thaddanee Rekha
Published: February 2021

Background: Due to high incidence of sepsis as a main cause of neonatal mortality, early detection and proper treatment are important in reducing neonatal mortality. Thrombocytopenia is a common hematological problem encountered during neonatal period, particularly in neonatal sepsis. This study was done to know the incidence of thrombocytopenia in neonatal sepsis and to compare clinical outcome in patients with thrombocytopenic and non-thrombocytopenic neonatal sepsis.Methods: This was a prospective study carried out at neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary care teaching hospital of western Gujarat, India, from October 2018 to August 2020. 2739 neonates were admitted with probable sepsis during study period. 299 neonates with positive blood cultures were recruited for the study. They were divided into two groups; group-1 had patients with thrombocytopenia, while group-2 included patients without thrombocytopenia. Severity of thrombocytopenia was assessed in group-1. Micro-organisms isolated and outcome of sepsis were compared in both the groups. Results: There were 208 neonates in group-1 (thrombocytopenic) and 91 in group-2 (non-thrombocytopenic). There was no significant difference in demographic profiles of neonates in both groups. Klebsiella pneumonia was the most common organism isolated from 79 patients of group-1 and 19 patients of group-2 (p=0.033). Coagulase negative Staphylococci and Candida were the second and third most common micro-organisms isolated from 30.2% and 15.1% of blood cultures respectively. In group-1, 85 (40.8%), 72 (34.6%) and 51 (24.5%) neonates had severe, moderate and mild thrombocytopenia respectively. Klebsiella pneumoniae (45.9%) was the commonest organism isolated in severe thrombocytopenic neonates, followed by Candia (22.4%) and Enterococcus (14.1%).Conclusions: Thrombocytopenia is a specific marker of neonatal sepsis. The platelet count is a simple test that facilitates diagnostic orientation and the establishment of an early empirical treatment. Klebsiella pneumoniae was the commonest organism isolated in severe thrombocytopenic neonates.

Background: Neonatal sepsis is one of the most common causes for critically ill neonate. Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial. Red cell distribution width (RDW) varies significantly in such conditions. This study aims at finding the relation between RDW and critically ill neonate.Methods: This hospital based prospective cohort study was conducted on 60 neonates with suspected sepsis. The RDW values were collected at admission and after 72 hours of admission. The primary outcome measures were mortality and recovery from illness. Statistical analysis was done using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) 22 version software with appropriate statistical methods applied.Results: The mean RDW in our study group was 14.788±2.138. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for RDW at 72 hours of admission revealed area under curve (AUC) 0.810 at 14% cut-off with sensitivity of 81.25%, specificity of 72.73%, positive predictive values (PPV) 52% and negative predictive values (NPV) 91.4% with p<0.0001.Conclusions: RDW is a simple, easily available, rapid test to predict the outcome in critically ill neonate.

Authors: Rani Varada Vidya , Balasundaram Ravichandrer
Published: February 2021

Background: Prediction of outcome of a patient plays a key role in the management of PICU. Studies have predicted that platelet parameters are novel predictors of mortality. Hence, present study was designed to assess the accuracy of platelet parameters (platelet count, MPV (mean platelet volume), PDW (platelet distribution width), PCT (Plateletcrit), MPV/PCT, PDW/Platelet count, MPV/platelet count in prediction of mortality and morbidity.  Methods: Total 66 children requiring admission to PICU, were divided as sick (with sick score≥3) and non-sick (with sick score<3). Their platelet parameters were compared. Platelet parameters were further studied with respect to morbidity and mortality. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 22 version software. Chi-square test was used as test of significance for qualitative data. Continuous data was represented as mean and standard deviation. Independent t test was used as test of significance to identify the mean difference between two quantitative variables.  Results: Both groups were comparable in terms of age and gender. Significant difference in all platelet parameters were noted in between groups (p<0.001). Platelet parameters and their ratios were significant predictors of mortality and morbidity, with negative correlation to platelet count and plateletcrit (PCT), and positive correlation to the rest.Conclusions: Simple analysis of platelet indices at admission by haematology counter analysers could give us a great idea in predicting the mortality and morbidity of the children.

Published: February 2021

Children with complex chronic conditions (CCC) belong to a distinct pediatric group, characterized by the (potential) manifestation of a wide range of pathologies requires long-term multidisciplinary health care, alongside recurrent hospitalizations and, in many cases, dependent on the use of technology for life maintenance. The need to seek, organize and disseminate bibliographic information on CCC led us to chart the scientific production on this theme, and a complete search of the academic publications was conducted in two scientific databases, the Web of Science and Scopus. The results indicate a significant growth in CCC research over the years, matching both, the increased number of cases and the consequent rise in life expectancy of these children. The scientific production on CCC is concentrated in the United States of America, reflecting and discussing the access to the health system of that country. We observed that the main thematic areas of the publications were related to hospitalization, health needs, coordination of care and oral health. Children have inequitable levels of access to treatment for CCC, according to family income, place of residence, educational level, race/ethnicity, evidencing the urgent need for formulation and implementation of public policies that address this portion of the population. Thus, it is expected that the present study will serve as a bridge guide for the development of potential new research projects, actions to promote and stimulate studies on this relevant theme and so far, neglected.

Background: The long QT syndrome is characterized by prolongation of QT interval, which may lead to life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Objectives were to assess prevalence, quantity and severity of QTc prolongation with combined drugs (azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine) in adults COVID-19 patients treated on these agents at KFSHRC. And to characterize cardiac complications of QTc prolongation with combined drugs.Methods: A retrospective cohort study at KFSH&RC, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Baseline and daily ECG was done until completion of duration as per KFSH&RC guidelines for management of Covid-19, QTc prolongation>500 or increase of at least 60 ms compared with the pre-drug baseline value, or presence of cardiac conductive complications (torsades de pointes). The QTc prolongation was defined as>470 for male and >480 for female as per American Heart Association. A risk score that has been validated by Tisdale et al, for prediction of QT prolongation drug-related in admitted patients in cardiac care unit. The study duration was specified as one month after study approval by Research Ethics committee.Results: A total of 74 patients were included in the study. The patients were distributed according to their risk score for prediction of QT prolongation as the following: low (67/74), medium (6/74), high (1/74). Two patients with medium risk were started on both azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine. one of them his baseline QT was 490, Azithromycin was stopped as QT reached 502. The second patient has QT baseline 471, after starting treatment; QT range was 472-475, hydroxychloroquine was stopped on day 4. None of them had torsades de pointes. Only one patient with low risk, no baseline QT was recorded, but QT was 499 on day three, so hydroxychloroquine was stopped. Repeated ECG showed: QT decreased to 478, no torsades de pointes.  Conclusions: In this single centered-retrospective cohort, we noticed that a small percentage of patients developed QT prolongation with the use of this combination. With the increasing the risk of developing QT prolongation the number of the patient who developed the condition increased. We used Tisdale score which is a scoring system Identifying hospitalized patients at risk for QT interval prolongation could lead to interventions to reduce the risk of torsades de pointes validated in May 2013.5 None of our population developed significant cardiac complications of QTc prolongation with combined drugs.

Published: February 2021

Background: The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dysfunction manifests as pain, weakness and reduced range of motion. There are various treatments for DRUJ dysfunction. Modified Sauvé-Kapandji procedure involves arthrodesis of the distal radioulnar joint combined with the creation of a pseudarthrosis of the distal ulna to maintain forearm pronation and supination, and stabilization of proximal ulnar stump. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of modified Sauve-Kapandji procedure for patients with DRUJ dysfunction.

Methods: Fourteen patients with DRUJ dysfunction were treated by modified Sauve-Kapandji procedure and followed up for 2 years post-operatively. Functional assessment was evaluated according to modified mayo wrist score (MMWS) system and severity of pain by visual analog scale. Posteroanterior and lateral radiographs were used to assess fusion.

Results: There was a significant improvement in VAS of wrist pain (p<0.001) and MMWS (p<0.001) at 2 years follow up. Excellent outcome was reported in 64.3% (n=9) patients. Radiographic fusion was seen in all 14 cases.

Conclusions: The modified Sauve-Kapandji procedure for DRUJ dysfunction is a safe and effective procedure with excellent radiological fusion and significant improvement in functional outcomes.

Authors: Babhulkar Sushrut , Seth Shobhit
Published: February 2021

Background: Aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of bone loss (both osteopenia and osteoporosis) at national and regional levels in India.Methods: In this retrospective study, data obtained from in-clinic screening camps conducted for bone loss was analysed. Participants were apparently healthy adults (aged 18 years and above) evaluated for bone mineral density (BMD) using calcaneal quantitative ultrasound (QUS) of left foot. Based on t score of BMD obtained, participants were labelled as normal (T-score <-1 SD), osteopenia (t score-1 to -2.5 SD) and osteoporosis (t score <-2.5 SD).Results: In total, data of 31238 participants was analysed retrospectively. Mean age was 47.8±14.2 years and 47.6% were females. Among females, 38.8% were postmenopausal women (age >50 years). Overall prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis was 49.9 and 18.3% respectively. Across East, West, North and South India, the prevalence of osteopenia was 51.3, 47.9, 55.6 and 47.4% respectively whereas prevalence of osteoporosis was 18.4, 16.3, 16.4 and 20.7% respectively. Prevalence of osteoporosis was slightly higher in females than males (19.4 vs 17.3%). Among postmenopausal women, overall osteoporosis prevalence was 33.1% and ranged from 16.9% in North region to 21.8% South region. Prevalence of osteoporosis (37.0 vs 12.5%) was higher in elderly (≥60 years) than adults (<60 years).Conclusions: Among adults, nearly one out of two have osteopenia and one out of five have osteoporosis. Osteoporosis prevalence was higher in the women and in the elderly. Nearly one out of three women in postmenopausal age group have osteoporosis. There is no substantial difference across the four regions of the country. Considering the significant prevalence of low BMD, there is need to increase the awareness about bone health in general population.

Published: February 2021

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are common injuries in the athletic population. Surgical intervention is required for ACL tears as it restores the knee function and it prevents early osteoarthritis. In the recent research there is increasing use of bone marrow aspirate concentrate in orthopaedics. Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) provides mesenchymal stem cells progenitor cells and growth factors which has potential benefits in hamstring graft healing after ACL reconstruction.

Methods: This was a prospective randomized case control study carried out between May 2017 and June 2020. 30 patients between age group of 18 to 40 years with complete ACL tear were divided into two groups which consisted of the control group in which only ACL reconstruction was done and second group in which ACL reconstruction was done augmenting it with bone marrow aspirate concentrate. For the BMAC group, 3 ml of BMAC was obtained in the operation theatre itself and was injected into femoral tunnel and the tibia tunnel just before portal suturing. MRI was obtained post operatively at 6 months and at 1 year. Graft healing was seen as the time taken for the graft to reach ligamentization phase when the graft became hyper intense or was visualized similar to PCL or the remnant which was preserved during reconstruction in all cases.

Results: Most of the patients in which augmentation (86%) was done healed at 6 month as compared to those who were not augmented (13%).

Conclusions: BMAC showed faster and better healing of the graft in ACL reconstruction.

Actos de habla espirituales
Authors: Alfonso Sierra Juan David
Published: February 2021

¿Existe alguna diferencia entre que un católico y un ateo profieran un Padre Nuestro? ¿Basta con repetir las fórmulas de las oraciones religiosas para orar? Las preguntas de este tipo hacen parte de la semántica, pues versan sobre las condiciones por las que los términos significan. Para el presente caso de las oraciones religiosas, la indagación es acerca de la condición por la que este tipo de expresiones son actos lingüísticos con significado, es decir, sobre qué hace que se cumpla el acto de orar. Situando la pregunta en esta acción, el presente trabajo es un examen de las oraciones religiosas a partir de la teoría de los actos de habla. Propongo que en estas se lleva a cabo un acto de habla expresivo que tiene como condición el compromiso con una forma de espiritualidad. Comenzaré, entonces, caracterizando la religión como una forma de espiritualidad -lo que implica una exposición de la espiritualidad y la diferencia de esta con la religión-, para luego señalar los tipos de cosas que se pretenden en las oraciones religiosas. Finalmente, examinaré cómo la comprensión de religión expuesta es la condición preparatoria para el acto de orar y su respectivo tipo de acto ilocucionario.
¿Qué hacemos cuando decimos que recordamos?
Authors: Álvarez Ariza Jessica Sabina
Published: February 2021

Este texto presenta un análisis no definitivo acerca de la cuestión del recuerdo desde la filosofía del lenguaje ordinario. Nuestro objetivo es responder parcialmente a la pregunta: ¿qué hace un hablante cuando dice que recuerda? Nos interesa analizar, a partir de nuestras prácticas lingüísticas cotidianas, lo que aquí llamamos el ‘acto de habla de la memoria’. De la mano de John L. Austin (1946, 1962) y otros filósofos (Norman Malcolm, 1963a-b; Robert Brandom (1983, 2001, 2005, 2008); Rebecca Kukla (2014); Mark Lance (2008, 2016)) defendemos que nuestro conocimiento de los recuerdos pasa por advertir qué hacen los hablantes cuando dicen o comunican sus recuerdos. El texto se divide en tres secciones. En la primera, presentamos brevemente los recuerdos fácticos caracterizados por Malcolm en Three Forms of Memory y A Note of Factual Memory. En la segunda, introducimos ciertos rasgos de la empresa pragmática de Brandom. En la última, nos dedicamos, por un lado, a establecer cómo los recuerdos fácticos pueden ser comprendidos en términos inferenciales y, por otro, a sugerir algunas ventajas y limitaciones de esta comprensión, que permitirían construir una aproximación normativa mucho más amplia de las expresiones lingüísticas del recuerdo.

Published: February 2021

The article presents a review of Dominika Wojtasińska’s book O koncepcji kobiety “zupełnej” w pismach Cypriana Norwida [On the Concept of a ”Complete” Woman in the Writings by Cyprian Norwid]. The book is an attempt at capturing Norwid’s view of the essence, place and role of women in the context of the transformation of 19th-century society. In her reflections, the author refers to the following contexts: biographical, sociological and religious; she also refers to 20th-century Christian feminism and to the philosophy of dialogue represented by Emmanuel Lévinas and Józef Tischner. The researcher is searching for the models of the female “completeness” in the ancient and biblical tradition and in the medieval historical tradition. In her book, the author presents Norwid as a poet who anticipates the 20th-century emancipatory movements and Christian feminist concepts.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo catalogar e registrar sinais-termos das expressões dialetais de duas comunidades surdas do norte, Boa vista-Roraima e Santarém-Pará. A pesquisa vem se desenvolvendo através de aproximações, pesquisa etnográfica e eliciação com sinalizantes surdos e não surdos através da observação participante junto a estas comunidades, a fim de se obter um embasamento reflexivo acerca da questão de o porquê os surdos se empenharem tanto em “traduzir”, ou seja, criar um sinal específico para as expressões dialetais e até mesmo para as expressões sonoras próprias da cultura falada do norte, a exemplo de ÉGUA e TÉDOIDÉ. A catalogação dos referidos sinais-termos envolve uma reflexão acerca dos aspectos sociolinguísticos destas comunidades. Diante dos termos registrados e das observações etnográficas, percebemos o quanto, para essas duas comunidades surdas, são importantes e recorrentes o uso de tais expressões na sinalização cotidiana, principalmente, na interação surdo-ouvinte.

Published: February 2021

Background: Considering the high probability of suicidal behaviors in multiple sclerosis (MS) population of other countries and the unlikeliness of its diagnosis in patients with MS by specialists, the current research targets the frequency of suicidal thoughts and mood symptoms in a group of patients with MS in Iran. Also, we investigated the relationships among suicidal thoughts, anxiety, depression, anticipated stigma, social support, some disease characteristics, and sociodemographic factors.
Methods: A sample of 276 subjects were selected from community-based MS clinics and referral out-patient MS clinic of Sina Hospital affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Participants completed the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Chronic Illness Anticipated Stigma Scale (CIASS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and a personal information questionnaire.
Results: 36.2% of the participants had suicidal thoughts. Suicidal ideation was significantly more likely among people who reported higher anxiety and depression scores or anticipated stigma from their friends and families. Women and patients with higher education experienced suicidal ideation more frequently than others.
Conclusion: Findings regarding the comorbidity of suicidal thoughts with anticipated stigma, depression and anxiety in MS patients emphasizes therapeutic interventions focused on the alleviation of perceived stigma as well as mood symptoms.

Background: Nowadays, many neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease (PD), are treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS). Life-threatening consequences can occur from DBS hardware failure or sudden implantable pulse generator (IPG) battery depletion. This issue may potentially worsen in concomitance with medical or infectious conditions, requiring stronger emergency management.
Methods: We present here a 58 year-old PD patient with DBS, whose IPG replacement surgery was complicated by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and we report management of this patient along with recommendations for patients with similar situation.
Results: As the newly-emerged coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is now announced to be pandemic, new protocols and specific measures for each individual group of patients with chronic diseases seem obligatory. Regarding our recent experience with a patient suffering from PD, on DBS treatment, who needed hospitalization, we felt useful to share our experience as a recommended protocol for similar patients in the time of current pandemic.
Conclusion: Close monitoring of laboratory and clinical signs should be warranted in patients with PD awaiting IPG replacement in order to be prepared in these novel conditions that may precipitate an akinetic crisis/dystonic storm and to prevent life-threatening complications during the current pandemic.

Published: February 2021

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most important parasitic zoonosis in the world. Post-surgery follow up in CE patients is an important non-solved problem up to now. Therefore, the investigations on this problematic issue would be very applicable in the view of CE clinical treatment.
Methods: A total of 24 confirmed liver CE patients sera including eight sera before surgery (BS), eight sera three months post-surgery (3MPS), and eight sera six months postsurgery (6MPS) were used in the present study. Proteomics methods including 2DE and LC-MS/MS were performed on the specimens followed by bioinformatics analysis such as Gene Ontology (GO) and Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network analysis.
Results: A total of 235 proteins were detected of which 12 differentially expressed proteins (DEP) were identified by LC-MS/MS in all sera. The proteins were presented in BS and suppressed after surgery as follows: HPX, SERPINA1, SERPINC1, CP, HBD, and HBA2. Comparisons of the protein expression in sera of patients BS, 3MPS, and 6MPS revealed that GC, IGJ, AHSG, CD5L, FGG, and APOC3 have been overexpressed in 3MPS and 6MPS. PPI network analysis demonstrated that SERPINC1 and AHSG with more connection in the network could be considered as hub proteins and potential prognostic biomarkers in response to surgical treatment of liver CE.
Conclusion: Application of proteomics methods on patient’s sera could be used as a novel biomarker tool for following-up liver CE patients. In this regards, proteomics and, application of bioinformatics analysis including GO and PPI showed that SERPINC1, AHSG and HPX are of more value as a potential follow up biomarkers in response to surgical treatment.

Background: Dogs, as the definitive host of Neospora caninum, are important in the epidemiology of this parasitic infection. We aimed to determine the prevalence of N. caninum infection in a dog population from a rural setting in Fars Province, Southern Iran, using a combination of molecular and serological techniques.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in Nov 2018 in three rural districts, Sar Mashhad, HosseinAbad, and Tolesaman located in Kazeroun Township in Fars province, southern Iran. Blood samples were taken from 60 stray and household dogs. Dogs’ sera were tested for antibodies against N. caninum, using a Neospora-Modified Agglutination Test. Moreover, dogs’ buffy coats were tested for Neospora DNA, using a molecular method.
Results: Anti-Neospora antibodies were detected in sera of 4 out of 60 dogs, corresponding to a seroprevalence rate of 6.7%. Out of 25 female dogs, 1 was seropositive and of 35 males, 3 were seropositive, yet the differences were not statistically significant. The infection was more prevalent in adult dogs (> 12 months), nevertheless, the differences between age and Neospora seropositivity was not statistically significant. N. caninum DNA was not detected in the buffy coat of any of the studied dogs.
Conclusion: Findings of the study indicate that N. caninum is a common infection in dogs in rural areas of Fars province in southern Iran. The infected dogs mig
Kenya Digital Rights Landscape Report
Authors: Nyabola Nanjala
Published: February 2021

This report introduces findings from ten digital rights landscape country reports on Kenya. They analyse how the openings and closings of online civic space affect citizens’ digital rights. They show that: (1) when civic space closes offline citizens often respond by opening civic space online; (2) when civic space opens online governments often take measures to close online space; and (3) the resulting reduction in digital rights makes it impossible to achieve the kind of inclusive governance defined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Chronic bronchitis is a disease that attacks the respiratory tract and is one of the dangerous diseases that can cause death in the world. This study builds a mathematical model of airflow velocity in the bronchi due to chronic bronchitis which is influenced by mucus thickness and initial velocity. The type of research used is simulation research to find a picture of a simple system that will be manipulated or controlled to get an effect similar to the actual situation. The mathematical model is built on the reduction of the momentum equation and the mass continuity equation which is solved using the finite volume method and the QUICK discretization technique. The volume method is used because the fluid flow studied is O2 gas which is classified as unstructured. So by using the volume method, it will be easier to discretize to determine the values ​​that will be sought in the discretization process.
