Authors: Nagassar Rajeev P.
Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVE
To describe the epidemiology of sharp injuries, in healthcare workers, at the Sangre Grande Hospital (SGH) in Trinidad. A secondary analysis of non-sharp injuries was also done. Sharp injuries predispose staff to blood borne infections and thus are occupational infection prevention and control matters. Sharp injuries were observed to be a problem at the SGH. This study served to gather data for informed decision making.

METHODOLOGY
A retrospective descriptive study was done by reviewing all IPC reporting forms from reported healthcare worker injuries at the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Department for the period 2007-2017. All persons recorded as having being injured by sharps and secondarily, non-sharp occupational exposures, at the IPC department were included. We looked at employee case management including testing for blood borne Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and C virus (HCV), management and treatment. Simple descriptive statistics were used to present the findings.

RESULTS
All 148 notes were reviewed after which entries having greater than 10 missing data points or fields were excluded from the study analysis, leaving 138 notes. Age ranges were between 20 – 62 years with the mean age of the affected population being 33 years. A total of 104 (75.4%) females were injured compared to 32 (23.2%) males. Persons injured were mainly from the wards (n=81, 58.5%): internal medicine (n=46, 33.3%) and general surgery (n=22, 15.9%). Accident & Emergency (A&E) accounted for 10.1% (n=14) of the cases. Registered nurses (n=37, 26.8%), physicians (n=22, 15.9%) and students (n=20, 14.5%) were the main categories of staff affected. The highest number of events occurred between 10:00-11:00 in the morning [am] (n=29, 20.6%). The majority of these incidents (n=123, 89.1%) were first reported to SGH A&E. Most injuries occurred while disposing of needles (n=17, 12.3%). It was noted that 73 (52.9%) of the documented cases occurred on fingers. HIV, HAV & HBV tests were done in 136 (98.6%) of the 138 staff members recorded. In 120 (87%) events the source patient was tested. A total of 114 (84.4%) persons had been vaccinated for HBV; 77 (58.8%) persons had post exposure prophylaxis (HIV) for one month. One (1.3%) person reported seroconversion after six months to positive HIV status.

CONCLUSION
Sharp injuries in employees were common in internal medicine and general surgery wards. These injuries were common in the late morning, on the fingers. Only one exposed employee seroconverted over the entire period.

Understanding how drivers are injured in rear-end collisions
Authors: Dabbour Essam Dabbour
Published: June 2021

Rear-end collisions represent the most common type of collisions with more than 2.5 million rear-end collisions reported every year in the United States. Most of the previous research studies that identified risk factors related to the probability of injury in rear-end collisions were based on pooling data from few years (usually 2 – 4 years) into a single dataset for analysis. This approach carries the risk of introducing aggregation bias in the analysis. Risk factors identified using that approach might have been significant at the time of the analysis, but their significance might change afterward due to the ongoing changes in vehicle technologies, driver behavior, traffic volumes, road conditions, law-enforcement technologies, and implemented policies. Thus, understanding the temporal stability trends of the factors influencing how drivers are injured in rear-end collisions would help researchers in evaluating the effectiveness of implementing different safety treatments so that researchers could understand whether any safety improvements, observed after applying a certain safety treatment, are attributed to the specific treatment or simply attributed to the temporal instability of the factors being addressed. This study investigates the temporal stability of the factors related to drivers’ injuries in rear-end collisions. The research is based on utilizing logistic regression modelling to analyze all rear-end collisions that occurred in North Carolina from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2013. A logistic regression model is developed for each year, and the models are compared together to identify the most temporally stable factors related to drivers’ injuries in rear-end collisions. The findings of this research have the potential to help decision makers develop policies and countermeasures that improve roadway safety by focusing on risk factors that consistently increase the probability of injuries for drivers in rear-end collisions.

Experimental research to determine broiler chicken meatballs' protein content with oyster mushrooms was carried out for two months, from September to October 2020. The study was divided into two stages, namely the preparation stage and the research stage. The preparation stage was making meatball dough with four levels of adding oyster mushrooms which were carried out in the Animal Science Laboratory of UNW Mataram. The research stage was to analyze the protein content of meatball samples in INMT Laboratory of UNRAM. The research stage was to analyze the protein based on AOAC (2005). The experimental design, namely CRD, consisted of four treatments: the addition of oyster mushrooms from the weight of broiler meats and three replications. The variable measured was the protein content of the meatball. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA and LSD test. The results showed that oyster mushrooms to broiler chicken meatballs had a significant effect on protein content. The addition of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) is inversely proportional to broiler chicken meatballs' protein content. The highest protein content (5.37%) on broiler chicken meatballs with the addition of oyster mushrooms there is an addition of oyster mushrooms as much as 10% of the weight of broiler chicken meat

Abstract. We present the first global glyoxal (CHOCHO) tropospheric column product derived from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on board of the Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite. Atmospheric glyoxal results from the oxidation of other non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) and from direct emissions caused by combustion processes. Therefore, this product is a useful indicator of VOC emissions. It is generated with an improved version of the BIRA-IASB scientific retrieval algorithm relying on the Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) approach. Among the algorithmic updates, the DOAS fit now includes corrections to mitigate the impact of spectral misfits caused by scene brightness inhomogeneity and strong NO2 absorption. The product comes along with a full error characterization, which allows providing random and systematic error estimates for every observation. Systematic errors are typically in the range of 1–3 × 1014 molec/cm2 (~30–70 % in emission regimes). Random errors are larger (> 6 × 1014 molec/cm2) but can be reduced by averaging observations in space and/or time. Benefiting from a high signal-to-noise ratio and a large number of small-size observations, TROPOMI provides glyoxal tropospheric column fields with an unprecedented level of details. Using the same retrieval algorithmic baseline, glyoxal column data sets are also generated from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on Aura and from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 (GOME-2) on board of Metop-A and Metop-B. Those four data sets are intercompared over large-scale regions worldwide and show a high level of consistency. The satellite glyoxal columns are also compared to glyoxal columns retrieved from ground-based Multi-Axis (MAX-) DOAS instruments at nine stations in Asia and Europe. In general, the satellite and MAX-DOAS instruments provide consistent glyoxal columns both in terms of absolute values and variability. Correlation coefficients between TROPOMI and MAX-DOAS glyoxal columns range between 0.61 and 0.87. The correlation is only poorer at one mid-latitude station, where satellite data appears low biased during wintertime. The mean absolute glyoxal columns from satellite and MAX-DOAS generally agree well for low/moderate columns with differences less than 1 × 1014 molec/cm2. A larger bias is identified at two sites where the MAX-DOAS columns are very large. Despite this systematic bias, the consistency of the satellite and MAX-DOAS glyoxal seasonal variability is excellent.
La “subjetividad jurídica” de la Naturaleza

Los cambios climáticos que se han producido requieren una relación diferente entre el ser humano y la naturaleza. Esta última, a partir de la Grecia socrática, se fue entendiendo, también para el derecho, como una 'cosa' o mero objeto a explotar según las más variadas necesidades económicas. En un obediente procedimiento copernicano de "subjetivación", ha llegado el momento de otorgar a la Naturaleza, incluso en el campo jurídico, la plena dignidad como sujeto de derecho dotado de plenos poderes y derechos subjetivos. La A., tras una introducción preliminar, analiza el tema a partir de ciertos perfiles filosóficos y, luego, normativos, tanto menos como más recientes. Por fin, al referirse a instituciones aparentemente inconexas, llega a plantear la hipótesis de la constitucionalización del principio de subjetividad jurídica de la Naturaleza

Published: June 2021

George Eliot (1819–80) received markedly less national and international acknowledgment during the bicentenary of her birth in 2019 than Charles Dickens did for his bicentenary in 2012. In seeking to understand why, this article conducts a comparative evaluation of Eliot and Dickens in textual and visual media to examine how and where enduring authorial celebrity is constructed. Using Google Books Ngrams, the presence of Dickens and Eliot in textual culture from the 1800s to 2000 is assessed. Eliot is found to keep pace with and/or supersede Dickens in this mass digital repository, a fact that sits at odds with her secondary position in twenty-first-century popular culture. The online catalog of the British Film Institute Reuben Library discloses that adaptations of Eliot's work in film and TV are vastly outnumbered by those of Dickens. We argue that this disparity between Eliot's textual and visual legacies can be traced to extrinsic factors relating to the idea of celebrity and the posthumous management of her reputation, combined with the robust afterlife of nineteenth-century insults about her appearance. At the same time, the intrinsic qualities of her works delimit their easy remediation into mass visual culture. Despite this, our methods of distant reading Eliot's vibrant afterlife in mass textual repositories open up new avenues for exploring her legacy beyond the bicentenary.

Authors: Flamm Kenneth , Varas Pablo
Published: June 2021

This article reviews available public data on the pre-COVID (2014–2018) residential broadband markets in the United States, and presents six data-driven stylized economic facts about these markets. Broadband was a significant household expenditure. There were very limited numbers of competing residential broadband Internet service providers (ISPs) in most local markets. Service prices have not decreased much over time. Quality competition seems quite important. There was very limited entry by new ISPs. Technological innovation in wireless drove much observed new entry.

Published: June 2021

Alborz Province is located west of Tehran Province on the South Alborz seismic belt. Geological and seismological analyses within a radius of 200 km from the center of Karaj identified five seismic zones and seven linear seismic sources. The maximum magnitude was calculated for the seismic zones using available correlations. The Kijko and Sellevoll (1992) method was used to calculate seismicity parameters, and the graphs of the return period and the probability frequency of recurrence of the earthquake magnitude in each zone were plotted for the 475-year return period. According to the calculations, the highest and lowest earthquake magnitudes of 7.6 and 6.2 were respectively obtained in Zones 1 and 4.

A squall line was recorded in Dayyer port over southwest of Iran, on 19 Mar 2017. In the present paper, we have simulated the characteristic features associated with the squall line by Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model using five different microphysics (MP) schemes. For validating the simulated characteristics of the squall line, the latitude-height and longitude-height cross section reflectivity and precipitation value derived from observed reflectivity gathered by Doppler Weather Radar at Bushehr, synoptic weather station data at Dayyer port along with NCEP-NCAR and ERA-INTERIM reanalyzes data were used. To verify the simulated precipitation, the Fractions Skill Score (FSS) curve was calculated. Examining the simulation results for geopotential and sea level pressure show that the model simulations using different MP schemes, agree well with the verifying reanalyzes. Also, the spatial rainfall distribution of simulations and verifying observations did not show big differences. However, there are significant differences in the details of simulations such as the maximum reflectivity of the convective cells, vertical extent of the storm cells, speed and direction of the wind, rainfall values and FSS curves. Though, all of the simulations have shown convective cells over Dayyer port at the time of occurrence of the squall line, but, only the model simulation using Lin MP scheme is consistent with the corresponding radar reflectivity and vertical extent. The FSS chart showed that the skill changes with spatial scale. Results using Lin microphysics scheme crossed the FSSuniform line at lower scales when compared to other MP schemes.

Carbon nano tubes (CNTS) have two basic structure as single-walled and multi-walled based on hexagonal plexus of carbon atoms. CNTs can serve as platforms to conjugate other compounds specially in medications purposes by immobilization of biomolecules at their surface. Dopamine and serotonin are two biological molecules which have bifunctional activities as hormone and neurotransmitter. These two molecules have important roles as neurotransmitters in the central and peripheral nervous systems but serotonin functions as a mood regulator, while dopamine is connected to the “pleasure center”. In this article we optimized molecular and structural properties of connected dopamine and serotonin with SWNTS with four different diameters (7.0,7.5,7.7 and 10.0 nm) by using molecular quantum methods such as NMR shielding tensor data by B3LYP level of theory with 6-31 G(d) as a basis set, mk and frequency methods. Theoretical computations were performed to study NMR chemical shift data including magnetic shielding tensor (σ, ppm), shielding asymmetry (η), magnetic shielding anisotropy (σaniso), magnetic shielding isotropy (σiso) , skew of a tensor (Κ) and chemical shift anisotropy (Δσ) and span (Ω) at various rotation angles around a specific rotation  , physical and chemical properties of atomic nuclei , frequency data  by B3LYP/6-31g level of theory and POP method using gaussian 09 program.
