Authors: Rasul Barham M. , Fatah Rebar M. Noori
Published: June 2022

To achieve a satisfactory knee function and successful return to sports activities in patients with an ACL injury, it is essential to accurately reproduce the native ligament anatomy and biomechanics by placing the graft in the anatomical position within the ACL footprint. Our objectives are to investigate the short-term functional outcomes of an anatomic single-bundle reconstruction using the modified I.D.E.A.L technique of femoral tunnel placement, with 1-year follow-up.

A retrospective observational study of 120 patients who developed ACL rupture and underwent anatomic single-bundle reconstruction in TUY MALIK private hospital/ Sulaymaniyah city/Iraq from March 2020 till March 2022. The functional outcomes of the procedure were assessed using the subjective knee evaluation scores (IKDC, Lysholm, and Tegner scores) preoperative and 1-year postoperatively.

The mean preoperative IKDC score was 50.96 (40.22- 60.91), and 1-year postoperative score was 83.81 (72.41-95.40), with a (p-value 0.000), whereas the mean Lysholm score was 51.17 (40-67) and 86.19 (75-95) preoperative and postoperative, respectively, with a (p-value 0.000). The mean Tegner score was 7.59 preinjury, while 3.63 before the operation and 7.18 after the operation with (p-value 0.000), representing a statistically significant enhancement in functional outcomes between preoperative and final clinical follow-up assessment.

Reconstructing ACL anatomically by placing the graft in the modified I.D.E.A.L position within the native femoral footprint can reestablish near-normal knee biomechanics, obtain unrestricted knee range of motion, and successful return to preinjury activity level.

Published: June 2022

: Fractures of the distal radius are one of the most common injuries seen in our day-to-day practice. It accounts for almost 4% of the injuries seen in the emergency department. Despite its high incidence and the substantial possible implications of suboptimal management, no high-level evidence regarding the best treatment method yet exists.

The study aimed to compare the functional outcomes of extra articular distal radius fractures managed operatively with those managed conservatively.

In this prospective cohort study conducted between November 2018 to September 2020, 18 to 65 years old patients with displaced extraarticular distal radial fracture were treated surgically or conservatively.

DASH and Modified Mayo Wrist Score were calculated after a follow up of one year.

: At the end of 12 months the patients were evaluated, and it was noticed that patients who were treated operatively had significantly better functional and clinical outcomes, as indicated by significantly higher Mayo scores than patients treated conservatively by casting (all p values < 0.05). The DASH scores were lower in the patients who had undergone operative management.

Patients treated with volar plate fixation were able to resume activities of daily living few weeks earlier compared to those managed with K-wire fixation and conservative group. Therefore, we can conclude that volar plate fixation gives significantly better clinical and functional results than other methods of treatment.

Published: June 2022

Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) is a noninvasive, active wound management system that exposes a wound bed to local sub atmospheric pressure, removes fluid from the extravascular space, improves circulation, and enhances the proliferation of granulation tissue. The purpose of this study is to know the rate of wound infection, number of days required for making the wound fit for skin cover procedures, number of days required for formation of uniform granulation tissue bed in the wound healing treated by Vacuum Assisted Closure after primary fixation of fracture.

Patients between 18 to 60 years were included in this prospective randomized controlled trial. Primary internal Fixation of fracture was done as soon as possible followed by VAC application. Functional outcome of cases recorded during each follow up according to Johner and Wruh’s (1983).

According to this study, 30 patients with open fractures of both bone leg after primary internal fixation with VAC application. During follow up effective decrease (mean ± SD) in wound size after VAC therapy was 9.97±9.59 cm2 with P-value 0.0481. This technique has resulted in the effective decrease in wound size, infection and give a better functional outcome.

The greatest advantage of VAC was found to facilitate rapid formation of granulation tissue on wounds with exposed tendons, bones, raw area wounds and exposed implants hence decrease healing time and minimize soft tissue defect coverage procedures.
Komunijno-trynitarna pozycja Ducha Świętego
Authors: Jagodziński Marek
Published: June 2022

W Nowym Testamencie można zauważyć początki pneumatologii trynitarnej, która zaczęła się rozwijać w zmieniającym się kontekście świata kulturowego. Istotne znaczenie miało tu spojrzenie na Ducha Świętego w perspektywie miłości trynitarnej. Komunijny wymiar miało także nauczania o Filioque. Od średniowiecza rozpoczął się na Zachodzie pewien proces zapominania o Duchu Świętym i dopiero w nowszej teologii nastąpił w pneumatologii renesans, możliwy dzięki zintegrowaniu refleksji teologicznej i doświadczenia duchowego, w szczególności dzięki nowemu obudzeniu się w Kościele poczucia zjednoczenia na sposób komunii, które ośmieliło wybitnych teologów do podejmowania wnikliwych poszukiwań pneumatologicznych.
The Ethos of God and Man in the Christos Yannaras’ Works

Etos Boga i człowieka w twórczości Christosa Yannarasa

Objawienie prawdy o Bogu jako Trójcy ma bezpośredni wpływ na tożsamość i kondycję osoby ludzkiej. Bycie osobą jest nierozerwalnie związane z etosem. Niniejszy artykuł analizuje istotę etosu Boga w odniesieniu do tradycji chrześcijańskiej i etosu osoby ludzkiej stworzonej na obraz i podobieństwo Boże na podstawie myśli teologicznej znanego prawosławnego myśliciela religijnego — Christosa Yannarasa (ur. 1935). Prawda o tym, że Bóg działa w sposób osobowy, jest bardzo ważnym założeniem dla zrozumienia osobowej tożsamości i etosu człowieka. Jedynie w relacji do Boga, który jest Trójcą Przenajświętszych Osób, nasz ludzki etos może być wolny od zwodniczej wizji egzystencjalnej samonegacji oraz indywidualistycznej etyki i moralności.
Dialogical Catholicity of the Church
Authors: Porada Rajmund
Published: June 2022

Dialogiczna katolickość Kościoła

Katolickość Kościoła wyznają niemal wszystkie Kościoły w chrześcijańskim Credo. W wyniku jednak historycznych podziałów w obrębie chrześcijaństwa ten atrybut Kościoła przyjął nierzadko konfesyjne, zawężające interpretacje. Działania ekumeniczne zmierzają do przywrócenia katolickiej pełni, a zatem rozumienie katolickości czy też katolickiej pełni Kościoła musi pozostawać w ścisłym związku z rozumieniem ekumenizmu. W artykule podejmuje się próbę uzasadnienia tezy, że katolickość Kościoła ze swej natury ma wymiar dialogiczny. Wynika on ze stałego napięcia między wielością kościelnych tożsamości a jednością jednego ludu Bożego jako celu ekumenizmu. Ekumeniczna droga nie pomija jednak specyfiki konfesyjnej tożsamości, lecz domaga się uznania słusznej wielości i różnorodności form wyrażania jednej chrześcijańskiej wiary. Zgodnie z założeniami ekumenicznej hermeneutyki różne kościelne tradycje należy interpretować w świetle tego, co łączy, a nie tego, co dzieli, oraz dostrzegać i uznawać w nich elementy przynależące do ekumenicznie, czyli dialogicznie zorientowanej katolickości.

Autonavi3at Software Interface to Autonomously Navigate on Urban Roads Using Omnidirectional Vision and a Mobile Robot
Authors: Caicedo Martínez Jorge Enrique , Bacca Cortes Bladimir
Published: June 2022

The design of efficient autonomous navigation systems for mobile robots or autonomous vehicles is fundamental to perform the programmed tasks. Basically, two kind of sensors are used in urban road following: LIDAR and cameras. LIDAR sensors are highly accurate but expensive and extra work is needed for human understanding of the point cloud scenes; however, visual content is understood better by human beings, which should be used to develop human-robot interfaces. In this work, a computer vision-based urban road following software tool called AutoNavi3AT for mobile robots and autonomous vehicles is presented. The urban road following scheme proposed in AutoNavi3AT uses vanishing point estimation and tracking on panoramic images to control the mobile robot heading on the urban road. To do that, Gabor filters, region growing, and particle filters were used. In addition, laser range data are also employed for local obstacle avoidance. Quantitative results were achieved using two kind of tests, one uses datasets acquired at the Universidad del Valle campus, and field tests using a Pioneer 3AT mobile robot. As a result, important improvements in the vanishing point estimation of 68.26 % and 61.46 % in average were achieved, which is useful for mobile robots and autonomous vehicles when they are moving on urban roads.

Authors: Kooranifar Siavash , Asna ashari Mohsen , Moradians Vahan , Riahi Taghi
Published: June 2022

Pneumothorax occurs when air escapes from the lungs and enters the space between the lungs and the pleural space, for which there are many reasons for this defect. There are many treatments from the past to the present that are not currently satisfactory for patients. In recent years, endobronchial valve has been used and in this study, this valve has been used for 5 patients. In all patients, a silicone valve with a size of 8-10 was used and on average, each patient had about 7 days of valving. Three out of 5 patients had underlying diseases and in the end all patients were satisfied with the type of treatment. According to the results of recent studies, it seems that a potential trial to evaluate the management of air leakage after lung resection as well as traumatic, pathological and spontaneous pneumothorax is necessary to evaluate the management of air leakage.

Abstract: Mediation in the settlement of divorce cases in the Religious Courts is a step that must be done. Mediation should be carried out directly face to face and in a closed room. However, due to the pandemic, mediation meetings were held online through long-distance audio visual communication. The implementation of online mediation in divorce cases can be done using audio visual communication in the form of zoom, google meet and Whatsapp.Although mediation meetings can be conducted through long-distance audio visual communication media, which allows all parties to see and hear each other directly and participate in meetings, due to network constraints and other reasons, mediation efforts cannot be maximized. Therefore, the important role of the mediator in carrying out the online mediation process is very necessary. Abstrak: Mediasi dalam penyelesaian perkara perceraian di Pengadilan Agama adalah merupakan tahapan yang harus dilakukan. Mediasi seyogyanya dilaksanakan secara langsung dengan tatap muka dan dalam satu ruangan tertutup. Namun karena adanya pandemi maka pertemuan mediasi pun dilaksanakan secara online melalui komunikasi audio visual jarak jauh. Pelaksanaan mediasi online dalam perkara perceraian dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan komunikasi audio visual yang berupa zoom, google meet dan whatsapp.Meskipun pertemuan mediasi dapat dilakukan melalui media komunikasi audio visual jarak jauh yang memungkinkan semua pihak saling melihat dan mendengar secara langsung serta berpartisipasi dalam pertemuan Namun karena alasan terkendala jaringan dan lain lain, maka upaya mediasi  tidak bisa maksimal. Oleh karena itu peran penting mediator dalam melaksanakan proses mediasi on line ini sangat diperlukan.

Revisando el concepto de explotación en la normativa argentina de patentes
Authors: Da Ros Juan , Ardila Fernando
Published: June 2022

Numerosos análisis se han dedicado a estudiar la relación entre los grados de fortaleza que puede mostrar el derecho de patente con sus efectos sobre el fenómeno de innovación. El presente trabajo busca colaborar en esa discusión enfocando la mirada en la forma que es interpretado el requisito de explotación que las legislaciones suelen contener. Del estudio de las leyes de patentes de varios países puede entenderse que, como resultado del Acuerdo sobre los Aspectos de los Derechos de Propiedad Intelectual relacionados con el Comercio (ADPIC), los Estados deberían interpretar de forma amplia aquel concepto, de manera que, por ejemplo, la simple puesta en el mercado del producto derivado de la invención, sin importar su origen, satisfaga el requisito de explotación. Sin embargo, se presentan aquí evidencias sobre la existencia de un espacio conceptual para establecer normativas nacionales que, mientras observan aquel y otros compromisos supranacionales, se promueva la innovación a través del impulso de la fabricación local, cuando sea posible.
Artification: la interacción entre moda y arte contemporáneo en el proceso de construcción de identidad marcaria. Estudio de caso: Kostüme
Authors: Nadur Facundo
Published: June 2022

En un mercado tan atomizado como el de la indumentaria; las marcas de diseño de autor, deben llevar adelante estrategias de diferenciación que justifiquen el valor monetario de sus productos. Para lograrlo, algunos jugadores definen su posicionamiento tomando recursos del arte contemporáneo. Kostüme es un claro ejemplo de este tipo: utiliza recursos propios del campo artístico para la construcción de su identidad marcaria, lo cual contribuye a que se posicione como una marca de legítimo diseño de autor en el mercado de indumentaria local. ¿Qué recursos propios del arte son tomados por ciertas marcas de diseño de autor, como Kostüme, para construir una identidad que las diferencie del resto de las marcas del mercado y justifique su valor? El trabajo tiene como objetivo principal describir y analizar cómo Kostüme utiliza recursos del campo del arte contemporáneo; en vistas a esbozar apuntes, proveer fundamentos y bases empíricas que, sin ser prueba de enunciados generales, pueden colaborar en una posible conceptualización sobre cómo intervendría la interacción entre la moda vestimentaria y el arte contemporáneo en el proceso de construcción de identidad marcaria; y en el proceso de diferenciación y posicionamiento de las marcas de diseño de autor en el mercado argentino.
La capacidad evocativa del lenguaje en textos históricos de moda
Authors: Cotelo García Rosalía
Published: June 2022

En las últimas décadas del siglo XIX y las primeras del XX, cuando en las revistas se ofrecen raramente ilustraciones en color y la fotografía es solo en blanco y negro, el léxico de los textos de moda se revela, necesariamente, evocativo, sugerente, sensorial. Las palabras se cargan de connotaciones expresivas que aluden a los sentidos, y junto a voces de origen onomatopéyico que activan efectos sensoriales como pouf o fru-fru, se atestiguan numerosos términos referidos a colores, desde el ala de mosca al muslo de ninfa. Propondremos una descripción de este lenguaje desde un enfoque tanto lingüístico como cultural.
Un mundo figurado de poder de color verde olivo
Authors: Cabrera Arús María A.
Published: June 2022

La ponencia analiza el rol de la moda en la construcción de la imagen revolucionaria de Fidel Castro, evaluando el impacto político de esta. Se argumenta que el uniforme de campaña verde olivo contribuyó a establecer el papel de vanguardia política de la guerrilla liderada por Fidel Castro y a presentar a este como líder del movimiento revolucionario, invisibilizando agentes como la resistencia clandestina urbana, los partidos políticos tradicionales y el partido comunista. Asimismo, se presenta el estilo guerrillero de Fidel Castro y los demás líderes revolucionarios como lugar de enunciación de una nueva alegoría política, la del revolucionario, que encarnaría la imagen de Fidel Castro y, tras el asesinato del Che Guevara en 1967, la de este último. Se analiza, además, los esfuerzos del liderazgo revolucionario por extender el uso del uniforme verde olivo a la ciudadanía, a través de organizaciones de masa de corte militar y paramilitar que propugnaban el ideal de un Hombre Nuevo revolucionario formado a imagen y semejanza de Fidel Castro. Todo ello conformaría un mundo figurado de poder que presentaría a la Cuba posrevolucionaria como una sociedad en revolución, y legitimaría el liderazgo de Fidel Castro, con ecos que alcanzan el mundo contemporáneo de la moda y la política internacionales.

Vegetable Crop Cultivation using Vermicompost in Comparison to Chemical Fertilizers: A Review
Authors: Kalika-Singh S. , Ansari A. , Maharaj G.
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this paper is to review published literature which provides information to support the cultivation of vegetable crops using vermicompost in comparison to chemical fertilizers. With the systematic method, “Google Scholar,” a web search engine which provides an easy way to search for published articles, journals or books was used to research works of literature on “Vegetable crops cultivation using vermicompost in comparison to chemical fertilizers.” Then a subjective approach was used to select the themes that were discussed by reading through the abstracts and findings from the related works of literature. The subtopics discussed were: vermicompost, components of vermicompost, impacts of vermicompost, chemical fertilizers, components of chemical fertilizers, impacts of chemical fertilizers along with the use of vermicompost and chemical fertilizers on crops. The published papers established that vermicompost is an excellent organic medium which can be used to cultivate vegetable crops in comparison to chemical fertilizers because growing crops with vermicompost improves plant health with a positive influence on the yield and growth parameters of many plants, it has a high nutrient content, has pesticidal properties and slowly releases nutrients as compared to the chemical fertilizers which is depleted faster due to its release of nutrients too quickly. Chemical fertilizers on the other hand are useful in crop cultivation as it provides what is needed quickly but it has several negative impacts on plants, the soil and its surroundings.
Multidrug-resistant Bacterial Isolates in Bovine Subclinical Mastitis from Southern Rajasthan
Authors: Solanki Sudeep , Purohit Kamal , Devi Durga
Published: June 2022

Background: In the present study two hundred milk samples were collected from cows and buffaloes with no history of clinical mastitis in the ongoing lactation, from the Sirohi district of Southern Rajasthan. Methods: The pooled sample (collected from each quarter) and examined for the status of subclinical mastitis by Modified California mastitis test and Somatic cell count respectively. Positive samples were further investigated for isolation and identification of the major mastitis-causing pathogens: S. aureus, predominant Streptococcal species and E. coli for assessing antimicrobial resistance models in southern Rajasthan. Result: The results of the current study indicate high levels of multi-drug antibiotic resistance among bacteria that commonly cause mastitis, particularly ampicillin, penicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin and methicillin. However, the highest sensitivity was conferred to ceftriaxone, gentamicin, and co-trimoxazole, suggestive of judicious use of these antibiotics in the treatment of bovine mastitis. Concurrent implementation of gradient PCR indicated the presence of mecA and blaZ genes in 51.9% and 81.4% of S. aureus isolates, respectively. Meanwhile, 56.6% of the streptococcal isolate contained the tetracycline-conferring tetM gene and none of the streptococci contained the ermB gene. The 92.3% E. coli isolates contained the tetA gene and the tetB gene for tetracycline resistance.

Authors: Chacko Judine John , Sekharan Mini N.
Published: June 2022

Background: External factors affecting the embryonic development of fishes have importance in aquaculture and conservational studies. The temperature directly affects the development rate and hatching success of fish eggs. An optimum level of temperature is required for each species for the highest hatching rate and proper development. The Nilgiri melon barb Haludaria fasciata is an indigenous ornamental fish of India and this study aims to find the effect of temperature on its embryonic development and find the optimum temperature for hatcheries.
Methods: The H. fasciata were bred in a controlled condition and fertilized eggs were selected for the study. The embryonic development stages were observed under a digital microscope. The eggs were incubated at different temperatures ranging from 10 to 35°C to find their effect on embryonic development on achieving each stage and hatching success.
Result: Among the temperature, the eggs incubated at 35°C have developed and hatched earlier (within 23 hrs 50 min±3 min) than in other treatments. The slowest development and late hatching (within 29 hrs 20 min±14 min) were observed at 20°C. At 26°C, the incubated eggs had a higher hatching rate and higher survival rate (97.68%). Based on the observations, it is suggested fish hatcheries incubate the eggs of H. fasciata at 26°C for attaining better production.

PICO question

In auction market calves at high risk of developing bovine respiratory disease (BRD), does delayed (14–30 days) vaccination with a modified live vaccine (MLV) for viral respiratory pathogens versus administration of MLV on-arrival (within 24 hours of arrival) to the feedlot, result in a decreased percentage of calves with BRD morbidity diagnosed based on visual signs and rectal temperature >40 degrees Celsius?

 

Clinical bottom line

Category of research question

Treatment

The number and type of study designs reviewed

Two papers were critically reviewed. Both are randomised complete block designs

Strength of evidence

Weak

Outcomes reported

Delaying administration of a modified live respiratory vaccine to feedlot cattle may result in lower BRD retreatments

Conclusion

In feedlot calves, delaying modified live vaccine administration for viral respiratory pathogens may result in lower BRD retreatment rates than cattle receiving the vaccine on arrival to the feedlot. Significant statistical data from one study supported this conclusion while another showed numerically less retreatments in calves vaccinated on arrival versus delayed vaccination

 

How to apply this evidence in practice

The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

This study analyzes the effect of crude oil price fluctuations using the model approach of Fukunaga et al (2009) where crude oil price fluctuations are influenced by several components such as oil supply shocks, global demand shocks, and oil-specific demand shocks. Then analyze the effect of each component on the aggregate industry production index, food, beverage and tobacco industry production index, chemical and goods from chemical raw materials, petroleum, rubber and plastic industry production index, metal, non-machinery and equipment production index. The research method is VAR in difference and the analysis methods are Granger causality test, Impulse Response Function (IRF), and Forecast Error Variance Decomposition (FEVD). Global demand shocks and oil-specific demand shocks have a significant and positive effect on crude oil prices, while oil supply shocks have no significant effect. Oil-specific demand shocks have a significant effect on aggregate industry production index variables, while oil supply shocks and global demand shocks have no significant effect. The decomposition variables of oil price fluctuations, namely oil supply shocks, global demand shocks, oil-specific demand shocks, have no significant effect on the food, beverage and tobacco industry production index chemical and goods from chemical raw materials, petroleum, rubber and plastic industry production index, metal, non-machinery and equipment production index of metal, non-machinery and equipment.

The adaptive immune system in vertebrates comes in two flavors. Historically, adaptive immunity focused on the study of immunoglobulins (also referred to as Ig-based antibodies herein); more recently, jawless vertebrates were found to use an entirely different class of proteins for their adaptive immunesystem. Specifically, these organisms express variable lymphocyte receptors (so called VLR antibodies) that create diversity based on the rearrangement of leucine-rich repeats. Meanwhile, various, naturally occurring repeat motifs have been used as building blocks for the design of artificial binding scaffolds which, among others, include designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins). Such binding scaffolds are also referred to as non-Ig-based antibodies or non-Ig scaffolds herein). DARPins display several benefits such as a low molecular weight (~15 kDa), high thermal stability, high specificity and affinity, versatility (e.g., in terms of valency and multi-specificity), speedy preclinical development, low production costs and, thus, bear the potential to not only complement existing therapeutic Ig-based antibodies but also open up novel therapeutic strategies. The first generation DARPin therapeutic abicipar pegol has completed two Phase III studies in 2020 while several other DARPin drug candidates are currently undergoing clinical validation. Most recently, the rapid development of tri-specific SARSCoV-2 DARPin therapeutics showcases the immense potential of recombinant repeat proteins in adopting quickly e.g., new forms of target neutralization that a single Ig-based antibody cannot afford. Here, we highlight the design principles of repeat proteins in general and summarize in detail the continuous advancements of the DARPin scaffold that made it one of the most promising antibody mimetics to date. This review provides an overview of current and emerging applications of DARPins as both a research tool and therapeutic drug that can match or even surpass Ig-based antibody applications.

Background: Two years after the first cases, critical gaps remain in identifying prognostic factors in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Methods: This retrospective study included 99 patients with MIS-C hospitalized between August 2020 and March 2022 in a pediatric tertiary center. The patients were divided into two groups according to clinical severity (low and high-risk). Prognostic values of baseline clinical and laboratory characteristics were evaluated with advanced statistical analysis, including machine learning. Results: Sixty-three patients were male, and the median age was 83 (3–205) months. Fifty-nine patients (%59.6) were low-risk cases. Patients aged six years and over tended to be at higher risk. Involvement of aortic or tricuspid valve or >1 valve was more frequent in the high-risk group. Mortality in previously healthy children was 3.2%. Intensive care unit admission and mortality rate in the high-risk group were 37.5% and 7.5%, respectively. At admission, high-risk patients were more likely to have reduced lymphocyte count and total protein level and increased brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), ferritin, D-dimer, and troponin concentrations. The multiple logistic regression model showed that BNP, total protein, and troponin were associated with higher risk. When the laboratory parameters were used together, BNP, total protein, ferritin, and D-dimer provided the highest contribution to the discrimination of the risk groups (100%, 89.6%, 85.6%, and 55.8%, respectively). Conclusions: Our study widely evaluates and points to some clinical and laboratory parameters that, at admission, may indicate a more severe course. Modeling studies with larger sample groups are strongly needed.

Published: June 2022

In this work, we examine the deflection angle of black hole in effective loop quantum gravity in non-plasma medium via the geometrical technique of Gibbons and Werner in weak field limits. For this, we attain the optical metric and calculate the Gaussian optical curvature and then we apply the Gauss-Bonnet theorem. We also study the influence of the plasma and dark matter mediums on the deflection angle. Further, we obtain the deflection angle by using Keeton and Petters method. We also calculate the Hawking temperature via Gauss-Bonnet theorem. In addition, we determine the fermionic greybody bounds. Moreover, we discuss the graphical behaviour of the bending angle and bounds on the greybody factor. We also examine that the results obtained for the black hole in effective loop quantum gravity are reduces to the Schwarzschild black hole solutions when dimensionless non-negative parameter $A_{\lambda}=0$.
Auditory Pitch Perception in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Chen Yu , Tang Enze , Ding Hongwei , Zhang Yang
Published: June 2022

Purpose: Pitch plays an important role in auditory perception of music and language. This study provides a systematic review with meta-analysis to investigate whether individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have enhanced pitch processing ability and identify the potential factors associated with processing differences between ASD and neurotypicals. Method: We conducted a systematic search through six major electronic databases focusing on the studies that used nonspeech stimuli to provide a qualitative and quantitative assessment across existing studies on pitch perception in autism. We identified potential participant- and methodology-related moderators and conducted meta-regression analyses using mixed-effects models. Results: On the basis of 22 studies with a total of 464 participants with ASD, we obtained a small-to-medium positive effect size (0.26) in support of enhanced pitch perception in ASD.Moreover, the mean age and non-verbal IQ of participants were found to significantly moderate the between-studies heterogeneity. Conclusion: Our study provides the first meta-analysis on auditory pitch perception in ASD and demonstrates the existence of different developmental trajectories between individuals with ASD and neurotypicals. Non-verbal ability can be a significant contributor to the lower-level/ local processing bias in ASD. We highlight the need for further investigation of pitch perception in ASD under challenging listening conditions. Future neurophysiological and brain imaging research studies with a longitudinal design are also needed to better understand the nature of the atypical processing in ASD to obtain new insights into the underlying neural mechanisms and to help guide auditory-based interventions for improving language and social functioning.

Published: June 2022

Measurement of ozone concentration in ambient air was carried out using the passive sampling method in Cipedes, Bandung, from 2012 – 2020. Sample analysis was done using ICS 1500 Dionex ion chromatography. The results showed a fluctuating concentration from 2012 -2020 with the highest average value in 2015 of 29.94 g/m³. The monthly pattern shows the highest ozone concentration in September and the lowest in December; this condition was related to the intensity of rainfall that can clean ozone in the atmosphere. The seasonal pattern showed in the dry season ozone concentration is relatively higher than in the rainy season. A comparison of passive and continuous sampling was made to see the performance of the passive sampler showing a similar pattern with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.48. This difference in value was related to the absorption of ozone gas in the passive sampler absorbing filter and the meteorological factors.

Fever is a condition where the body temperature exceeds 37 °C caused by disease or inflammation resulting from a viral or bacterial infection. People consume synthetic drugs or commonly called antipyretics, to treat fever. This study aims to determine the antipyretic activity of the Ethanol fraction of sea Pandanus leaves (Pandanus odorifer) against male mice (mus musculus) induced by the DPT-HB vaccine. Sample extraction was done by the maceration method with various solvent polarities (non-polar; n-Hexane, semi-polar; Ethyl Acetate, polar; Ethanol). All three fractions were tested for their secondary metabolites of Flavonoids with antipyretic activity. In addition, an antipyretic activity test was carried out on male mice induced by the DPT-HB vaccine-induced by an intramuscular method in the lower abdomen. An infrared thermometer (ANENG AN201) measured the mice's body temperatures every 30 minutes for 180 minutes after induction. Phytochemical identification results show that the n-Hexane fraction contains Tannins and Steroids as secondary metabolites. The Ethyl Acetate fraction contains Tannins, Triterpenes, Steroids, and the Ethanol fraction contains Tannins, Triterpenes, Steroids, Saponins, and Flavonoids. The antipyretic activity test results show that the Ethanol fraction of sea Pandanus leaves (Pandanus odorifer) has the potential to be antipyretic against mice (Mus musculus), and the most effective antipyretic effect was found in infraction with a dose of 600 mg/kg body weight.
