Unsolved Problems in Hydrology (UPH) – a Latin American perspective
Authors: Chaffe Pedro L.B. , Paiva Rodrigo C.D. , Fernandes Cristóvão V.S. ,   UPH Latin America
Published: September 2022

Inspired by the 23 Unsolved Problems in Hydrology – 23 UPH (Blöschl et al., 2019) and the following “23 UPH in Africa” (Ogilvie & Mahé, 2021), we launched the “23 UPH in South America”. Our original aim was to review, identify and aggregate the contributions of the South American community to advancing key unsolved problems in hydrology. After a first round of discussion, we decided to expand the initiative to all Latin America. We initially advertised the initiative in August 2021 by using several mailing lists (e.g., Brazilian Association of Water Resources, AboutHydrology Google Group) and a Google Forms questionnaire. We collected responses from August through September 2021, with participants from 20 countries. Most participants are university professors and researchers with Engineering as the main background. We presented the first report to an audience of 27 in-person and 66 remote attendees at a 1-hour long meeting on November 24th during the XXIV Brazilian Water Resources Symposium. During the discussion, it became clear that we need to adapt the questions considering Latin America particularities, where water systems and their interaction with other components of the Earth and anthropic systems may be unique. We identified possible contributors to all the original 23 UPH and proposed a follow up workshop where each question will be assessed in depth by groups organized according to topics of interest. The discussions will result in a synthesis paper presenting the vision of the Latin America water community. We hope our effort to develop a common research agenda will strengthen the water community in Latin America as well as contribute with hydrological knowledge to the international water community's common problems.
Low flow characterization and forecasting in a non-stationary context

Published: September 2022

The aim of this communication is to present the state-of-the-art on low flows trends and modelling in the French part of the Mosel basin (~10800 km²) over the last decades. The state-of-the art is feed by the two following complementary projects that focus on (i) characterization and (ii) forecasting of low flows:

MAJORE is a project supported by the Rhine-Meuse Water Agency which studies low flow characteristics in a context of non-stationary flows. The issue focuses on the detection of the reference period for calculating low flow characteristics as well as to understand and explain why some basins are more affected by droughts than others over the two last decades.

The CIPRHES[1] project is a French national research project which aims to provide solutions to water resources managers by proposing low flow forecasts. For that purpose we developed a new semi-distributed version of our hydrological model that integrate the main anthropic influences in the basin (drinking water supply, dams, canals ...). Results obtained on the Meurthe basin which benefits from a low water support through the Vieux Pré dam are compared to those obtained from the upstream Mosel basin which is not influenced by a regulating reservoir.

R-Beale: an automated stratified Beale’s ratio estimator to calculate pollutant loading from measurements with missing observations.
Authors: Confesor Remegio , Bechmann Marianne , Deelstra Johannes , Stolte Jannes
Published: September 2022

The Beale’s ratio estimator (Beale, 1962) had been proven to be an unbiased pollutant loading calculator. However, Dolan et al (1981) cited that the estimator may have poor performance due to inadequate stratification. This study evaluated the error in phosphorus annual load calculation using an automated stratified sampling Beale’s ratio estimator of weekly, bi-weekly, and baseflow + storm event sampling schedules. The uniform random sampling and genetic algorithm approaches to search the optimal stratification and the number of strata were implemented in R programming language. The data from the National Center for Water Quality Research’s (NCWQR) tributary loading program in Ohio, USA and the Norwegian Institute for Bioeconomy’s (NIBIO) JOVA monitoring program in Norway were used in this study. The minimum number of strata required in uniform random sampling and the number of sample size and iterations for the genetic algorithm were identified to obtain the stratification that has the lowest load mean square error calculation. The results of this study can be used to find the optimal pollution sampling strategy with minimal loading calculation error depending on monitoring infrastructure and constraints.
Variability in Antarctic surface climatology across regional climate models and reanalysis datasets

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Regional climate models (RCMs) and reanalysis datasets provide valuable information for assessing the vulnerability of ice shelves to collapse over Antarctica, which is important for future global sea level rise estimates. Within this context, this paper examines variability in snowfall, near-surface air temperature and melt across products from the Met Office Unified Model (MetUM), Regional Atmospheric Climate Model (RACMO) and Modèle Atmosphérique Régional (MAR) RCMs, as well as the ERA-Interim and ERA5 reanalysis datasets. Seasonal and trend decomposition using LOESS (STL) is applied to split the monthly time series at each model grid cell into trend, seasonal and residual components. Significant systematic differences between outputs are shown for all variables in the mean and in the seasonal and residual standard deviations, occurring at both large and fine spatial scales across Antarctica. Results imply that differences in the atmospheric dynamics, parametrisation, tuning and surface schemes between models together contribute more significantly to large-scale variability than differences in the driving data, resolution, domain specification, ice sheet mask, digital elevation model and boundary conditions. Despite significant systematic differences, high temporal correlations are found for snowfall and near-surface air temperature across all products at fine spatial scales. For melt, only moderate correlation exists at fine spatial scales between different RCMs and low correlation between RCM and reanalysis outputs. Root mean square deviations (RMSDs) between all outputs in the monthly time series for each variable are shown to be significant at fine spatial scales relative to the magnitude of annual deviations. Correcting for systematic differences results in significant reductions in RMSDs, suggesting the importance of observations and further development of bias-correction techniques.

Biologic therapy is approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis in New Zealand. In order to qualify for subsidy for infliximab or adalimumab, treatment must be initiated by a relevant specialist. However, there is a clear role for family practitioners in ensuring that appropriate patients are offered these treatments regardless of ethnicity or levels of social deprivation. This issue was highlighted by the work of Mc Creanor and Nairn [1], who identified a tendency amongst non-Maori family physicians to attribute differences in health disparities as being due to the community itself. Such attitudes towards minority communities are widespread throughout the world and were most recently reported in the UK in the Report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities [2]. The potential for a significant role in the delivery of equitable care to Maoris and Pacific Islanders, following the passage of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act, was outlined by Bacal et al [3]. General practitioners role in appropriate communication about new treatments was emphasised together with the fact that they were seen as trustworthy. Such relationships are often not established with specialist hospital-based practitioners, who may be seen as distant and disinterested. However, a study of arthritis in New Zealand has shown that despite the disease having a higher prevalence in indigenous peoples, fewer referrals were made by family doctors to specialists [4]. Consequently, their access to expensive treatments, such as biologic therapies was limited. In this small study, access to biologic therapy across various communities was considered.

Pregnancy is a period during which one or more offspring develop inside the womb of a woman. It lasts for a period of nine months comprising of three trimesters. Obesity has been proven to have an adverse influence on the effect of pregnancy hormones on the periodontal tissue. It produces inflammatory cytokines which aggregates the systemic inflammatory conditions exacerbated by pregnancy hormones which predisposes the periodontuim to periodontal disease. The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between nutritional status and periodontal disease among pregnant women attending Abakpa Nike Health Center. A sample size of 70 pregnant women attending Abakpa Nike Health Center, Enugu was randomly selected for this study. Their nutritional status was determined using the Body Mass Index analysis and their periodontal health was also examined using basic periodontal probe and mouth mirror. It was discovered that 42 (60%) of the pregnant women were diagnosed with periodontal diseases and 22 (52.4%) of the pregnant women diagnosed with periodontal disease presented with gingivitis. The study also showed that 34 (76%) of the pregnant women in their second trimester and 6 (50%) of the women in their third trimester were diagnosed with periodontal disease. It also revealed that majority 29 (69.0%) of the pregnant women diagnosed with periodontal disease had unhealthy body weight. This shows that there is a significant relationship between nutritional status and periodontal disease among pregnant women attending Abakpa Nike Health Center, Enugu. Therefore this study recommend that sensitization programmes should be included in the ante natal programmes to educate the pregnant women on how to maintain a healthy body balance and improve oral hygiene especially during pregnancy.

Horizontal root fractures involve cementum, dentin and pulp tissues, comprising between 0.5 and 7% of trauma cases that affect the permanent dentition. This paper aimed to report a case of horizontal root fracture, without immediate care, resulting from a car accident. Patient presented tooth 11 with darkening, coronary fracture and mobility grade two, in addition to negative responses to cold sensitivity tests and vertical and horizontal percussion tests. Through imaging exams, a horizontal fracture line was evidenced, with a local radiolucency. The treatment instituted was performed 12 years after the accident and consisted of endodontic treatment of the coronary fragment and its sealing with BIO-C® REPAIR bioceramic cement. Prompt care, correct diagnosis and adequate management of the case are important for a good prognosis of horizontal fractures. In the case reported, the treatment occurred in a mediate way, which may compromise the case prognosis. Close monitoring is essential to determine whether the therapy used was successful. Currently, the patient is asymptomatic.

Explaining urban-rural disparity in prevalence of stunting and wealth related inequality in Ethiopia: A decomposition analysis
Authors:   Amhara Regional Agricultural Research Institute, Adet Agricultural Research Center, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia., Hunde Takele Bekele
Published: September 2022

Background: Stunting is a global health concern. It has consequences on child survival, growth, and development. The absolute level of stunting has been decreasing in Ethiopia although the prevalence is still high varying across socioeconomic determinants and geographical location with a larger burden among the disadvantaged group and the rural areas. The objective of the study was to explain the rural-urban disparity in the prevalence of stunting and explore the level and determinants of wealth related inequality in stunting in Ethiopia. Method: Data were drawn from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. The dependent variables were stunting and wealth related inequality in stunting. A multivariate decomposition analysis was employed to decompose the urban-rural disparity in the prevalence of stunting into meaningful components. A concentration index was used to quantify the magnitude of inequalities in stunting and multilevel linear regression model was used to identify determinants of socioeconomic inequality in stunting. STATA version 14 software was used for data management and analysis. Result: Differences in observed characteristics of children, maternal characteristics, their household and environment explained 82.8% of the gap in the prevalence of stunting between rural and urban areas. A further decomposition of the gap in stunting showed that differences in maternal characteristics contributed to 36.7% of the gap in stunting, variation in household characteristics explained 31.7% of the gap and 13.6% of the gap in stunting was due to differences in child characteristics in the two areas. The study also found a significant propoor wealth related absolute inequality in stunting (-0.133). Age of child, maternal education level, maternal age and place of residence were found to be significantly associated with socioeconomic inequality in stunting. Conclusion: Rural-urban disparities in child stunting need to focus principally on bridging gaps in socio-economic situations of rural and urban women and households and improving the quality of rural infrastructure. Health policy makers should work together across sectors and develop strategies for effective inter sectoral actions to adequately address the social determinants of inequity and reduce inequalities in stunting.

Chronic myeloid leukemia is the most common myeloproliferative neoplasm and very rarely presents upfront with involvement of central nervous system. Here we present a peculiar case of a 34 year old male who presented with complaints of rapidly progressive weakness of both the lower limbs of 2 week duration. On examination it was found to be upper motor neuron type of sensory motor paraplegia with bladder and bowel involvement. The upper level of sensory involvement was at D-6. On further investigations his total leucocyte counts were very high and he was diagnosed as a case of chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase. MRI scan of spine was suggestive of extensive involvement of spinal cord from D2-L3 level causing compression over thecal sac & spinal cord leading to the above mentioned complains. Biopsy from the lesion was suggestive of collection of extramedullarly blasts.

A 68-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a 2-week history of fever, shivering and general malaise. Physical examination was otherwise unremarkable. Laboratory findings showed elevation of C-reactive protein (33 mg/dL), aspartate and alanine aminotransferase (89 and 120 U/L, respectively). A computed tomographic scan showed a large mass on the left hepatic lobe compatible with an abscess (Panels A, red arrow). Further viewing of the images confirmed the perforation of the digestive tract by a foreign body (Panels A, white arrow) and its migration through the gastroduodenal wall. These findings were confirmed by laparoscopy with the extraction of a toothpick (Panel B) and drainage of the abscess. Fever resolved and the patient was asymptomatic at discharge. Pyogenic liver abscess constitutes an infrequent clinical condition presenting a diagnostic challenge to physicians. Ingestion of a foreign body represents an even more rare cause of this clinical entity.

A 90-year old male diagnosed with stage III non-Hodgkin’s peripheral T-cell lymphoma under palliative treatment was admitted due to a feeling of food impaction and vomiting. He underwent upper digestive endoscopy which revealed an extensively necrotic esophageal mucosa with complete esophagus obstruction where two impacted pills were seen (Figure 1) and fragmented. Non-contrast chest computed tomography showed multiple exuberant mediastinal adenopathies conditioning extrinsic compression and esophageal collapse (Figure 2). Patient later underwent endoscopic reassessment which showed complete mucosa healing, therefore proceeding with esophageal stenosis endoluminal balloon dilation. Mediastinal adenopathies due to peripheral T cell-lymphoma are rare. This case represents an unusual example of extrinsic esophageal compression due to lymphoma leading to severe pill- induced esophagitis.

Published: September 2022

This research is aimed at obtaining an industrial sector that has the ability to produce an Average Return Per Unit Risk (ARPUR) which is significantly better than the ability of other industrial sectors as a reference for implementing a return per unit risk-based investment strategy. In this study, 900 average return per unit risk data from each industrial sector index for the 2004 to 2018 observation period were used. The research data was generated from 35235 daily return data from all index sectors in the Jakarta Stock Industry Classification downloaded from the Bloomberg terminal. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, Analysis of variance and further tests. For investors who emphasize attention to the industrial sector with the best average ARPUR in determining the Return Per Unit Risk-Based Investment Strategy, attention can be paid to industrial sector 9 (JAKTRAD, Jakarta Trade, Services, and Investment) and industrial sector 6 (JAKPROP, Jakarta Construction, Property, and Real Estate) which ranks first and ranks second for the highest average ARPUR. However, based on a more comprehensive study, industrial sector 9 provides more comfort for investors because in addition to showing the highest average ARPUR performance, it also shows a lower dispersion than sector 6.

Authors: Ly Justin A. , Kogan Elizabeth G. , Hannan Zachary D. , Eurich Jennifer T. , Naran Vineet , Kurucan Etka , Solarz Mark K. , Abdelfattah Hesham M.
Published: September 2022

Background

Recently social media use within healthcare has increased significantly. Today, it is common for patients to browse the Internet, including physicians’ social media pages, to learn about their medical conditions and search for providers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the use of social media among hand surgeons, and to compare this use between academic and private surgeons.

Methods

Using the American Society for Surgery of the Hand’s (ASSH) online directory, all active members practicing within the ten most populated U.S. cities were identified. Social media presence was determined by an Internet search of platforms. Members were stratified by practice model (academic vs. private). Chi-square and t-tests were used to compare categorical and continuous variables, and a multivariable logistic regression was performed for the binary variable practice model.

Results

Two hundred and fifty-six hand surgeons were identified with 150 (59%) in academic and 106 (41%) in private practice. For ResearchGate accounts, 51 (82%) were academic and 11 (18%) were private. Mean PubMed publications was 38 for academic and 9 for private. YouTube presence was 69 (70%) in academic and 29 (30%) in private. On multivariable analysis, the odds of having ResearchGate and YouTube presence were higher for academic practice. There was no statistically significant difference by practice type for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

Conclusions

With the recent social media expansion, surgeons have adopted social media platforms to reach patients. While the literature has shown that private practices are more active in social media, our results show they are not more active than academic practices in the ten most populated U.S. cities.

O artigo analisa o espetáculo teatral “Os Saltimbancos”, apresentado no Festival de Artes da APAE com base nas noções de heteronomia e de autonomia. Busca-se discutir tais conceitos a partir das contribuições do educador Paulo Freire (2020) acerca da autonomia na educação e da abordagem elaborada pela professora Ana Mae Barbosa (2002) na arte- educação, a fim de incentivar o pensamento autônomo. Com o intuito de ampliar a pesquisa, consideram-se os estudos do teatrólogo Augusto Boal (2009), para analisar a presença em cena e as influências das opressões nas relações pessoais. Torna-se necessário evidenciar as noções de acessibilidade e de direitos da pessoa com deficiência, pautando-se no modelo social da deficiência, a fim de reafirmar a importância do incentivo da autonomia na visibilidade dos sujeitos. Sendo assim, este trabalho problematiza as atitudes realizadas durante o processo de construção do espetáculo e como tais ações contribuíram para autonomia das pessoas com deficiência.
Evangelho da terra – segundo a serpente (porque o esquecimento é como nos matar novamente): ações artístico - territoriais em cena, som e arquivo
Authors: Oliveira Moreira Natalia
Published: September 2022

Este memorial compreende as reflexões e registros sobre o projeto Evangelho da Terra – Segundo a Serpente (pois o esquecimento é como nos matar novamente) conjunto de práticas em poesia, cena, som e arquivo desenvolvidas entre 2019 e 2021 dentro e fora da universidade. Tratam-se de textos que objetivam a documentação do processo criativo, atravessados pelo pensamento benjaminiano sobre a história, concluindo-se que a escrita acadêmica aliada à prática artística são ferramentas eficientes contra uma epistemologia unilateral. A busca por narrativas polifônicas, isto é, vozes diversas que partem de lugares políticos diversos, é uma urgência fundamental para a ressignificação do imaginário sobre o feminino, o debate sobre seus direitos, a denúncia sobre seu apagamento histórico e sobre a impunidade diante da violência, tanto física quanto moral. Aqui entende-se o espaço universitário como polo pulsante de produção intelectual e estética, tendo assim a educação pública de qualidade como instrumento de transformação social.
A paródia em meio ao caos: o jogo do bufão na sala de aula
Authors: Dayon de Sousa Santos Rafael
Published: September 2022

A proposta deste trabalho é explorar alguns dos pressupostos conceituais e práticos que contornam o universo artístico e mítico da figura do bufão, como possibilidades para o ensino do teatro na escola formal. O estudo propõe uma prática pedagógica, no ensino do teatro, que se acerca de uma abordagem lúdica por meio do riso, do humor e da diversão com o jogo do bufão numa turma do ensino fundamental. A paródia bufonesca é o princípio fundamental trabalhado nesta intervenção artístico- pedagógica, por trazer o aspecto cômico da ação bufônica e por estimular a reflexão crítica diante de um contexto histórico, político e social. O trabalho também apresenta os riscos e desafios, na qualidade de artista- docente em formação, ao se pensar o bufão para a sala de aula.

Ensino sob a lona: estudo dos saberes circenses no circo do palhaço Vai-ou-racha
Authors: Elegran da Silva Estênio Marcos
Published: September 2022

O presente artigo traz reflexões acerca da transmissão oral dos saberes circenses presentes no circo do palhaço Vai-ou-racha. Aborda a relação de seus artistas com as variadas técnicas e saberes presentes no processo de ensino/aprendizagem sob a lona do circo. Busca dialogar com os pensadores da educação, em especial com Santos e Meneses (2010) e Kahmann e Silveira (2018) relativos às epistemologias do norte e do sul, bem como com Von Simson (2007) no tocante à educação formal. Ao trazer os pensadores do circo, busca estabelecer as correlações entre as estruturas presentes nos processos de transmissão de saberes no circo-família, como conceituado por Silva (2009). São instrumentos desta pesquisa: entrevistas realizadas com membros do circo do palhaço Vai-ou-racha e revisão sistemática da literatura. Este estudo procura demonstrar que as técnicas e abordagens presentes no processo de transmissão dos saberes circenses, são métodos válidos para a construção de conhecimento.
Encruzilhada, afrocentricidade e sentidos éticos: reflexões sobre corpo, educação e práticas contra-coloniais
Authors: Graça Machado Fernanda
Published: September 2022

Como, a partir de outras localizações, podemos pensar a relação entre educação e artes do corpo? Como as perspectivas africanas e afro- brasileiras acerca de corpo e artes podem contribuir para o debate entre arte e educação? Nesta pesquisa busco refletir sobre tais perguntas com o intuito de contribuir e oferecer subsídios que possam ampliar o debate entre corpo, artes e educação através uma perspectiva de análise afrocentrada. Trata-se de uma pesquisa majoritariamente teórica, tecida entre o distanciamento social devido a pandemia do coronavírus, que a partir de pesquisa e levantamento bibliográfico, seleção, categorização e análise de textos, reflete sobre as possibilidades pedagógicas tecidas na encruzilhada corpo,arte e educação.

Corpo que não pertence: pensando práticas desterritorializantes para se subjetivar no mundo
Authors: Angelo de Oliveira Juliana
Published: September 2022

O presente trabalho articula as noções de identidade com devir, problematizando a construção identitária da negritude e propondo formas de subjetivação no mundo que visam singularizar os corpos, desfazendo as agências homogeneizadoras. Inicialmente é apresentado um conceito básico sobre o que é identidade e suas implicações na construção do que seria uma identidade negra, em seguida as problemáticas da mestiçagem são apresentadas dentro de um contexto em que o corpo negro é visto como algo unificado. Então, lança-se uma proposta de subjetivação no mundo através dos devires que é articulado com os processos corporais. Por fim é feito um convite a conhecer o trabalho corporal, sobretudo o de Angel Vianna, como um agente possível para acessar novas experiências e criar inusitadas manifestações de existência no mundo.
Borges, o, la lectura como biografía
Authors: García Jurado Francisco
Published: September 2022

This paper deals with the publication of the Biblioteca Personal Jorge Luis Borges, its context within the so called "spectacle society", its "predecessors" (Schwob, Machen, Pliny, Solinus, Aelianus) and its relationship with other contemporary writers, such as the Argentinian Julio Cortázar or the Mexican Juan José Arreola. In addition, it comments on the specific poetical recreation made by Borges on some Virgilian verses, such as the hypallage from the book νι of the Aeneid. The goal is to understand the literary devices Borges uses as a reader of the authors chosen as his "predecessors".
Commoditas, o, la nueva virtud de las sociedades satisfechas
Authors: Espino Martín Javier
Published: September 2022

If the virtus of antiquity was strength, bravery and courage, and in Modernity, diligence, work, merit and effort, today the commoditas has been installed, a kind of nihilistic pseudo-virtue that claims the idleness, radical egalitarianism, and entertainment. Contemporary postmodern society has surpassed both Greco-Roman philosophical metaphysics and Christian theology, both rationalism and enlightened empiricism, as well as romantic-decadent idealism and materialist positivism, so society has entered a sort of end of history of self-indulgent and self-satisfied playful nihilism. We conclude that commoditas is here to stay and will reconfigure the nature of the human being based on a new mentality that pales tradition to the point of practically annulling it.
Influence of exogenous tryptophan application on production and carotenoids of Calendula officinalis under drip irrigation treatments
Authors: Fouad Hend , Elsayed Shaimaa I. M. , Fouad Rasha , Hendawy Saber F. , Omer Elsayed A.
Published: September 2022

Calendula officinalis L. is primarily cultivated as cut flowers plant and also regarded as a medicinal plant with a variety of therapeutic uses. Irrigation management results in reduction in irrigation requirements, water saving and conservation. Tryptophan has a major role in improving plant stress tolerance to environmental stresses such as water deficiency. This study investigated the response of C. officinalis cultivated under drip irrigation system to the number of irrigation times week-1 and tryptophan foliar application in two successive seasons. Three irrigation treatments (once, twice and three times week-1) were used as the main plots and four tryptophan treatments (0, 15, 30 and 45 mg l-1) were applied as subplots with three replicates. Increasing the number of irrigation times from once to twice showed the highest values of investigated growth parameters, while three times a week decreased them to lower values than those of once a week.
