Published: February 2023

Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne viral disease of humans that is most widespread in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Southeast Europe. The disease has continued to be a health problem in Turkey and other endemic countries in recent years. CCHF virus does not cause clinical disease in animal hosts but develops an antibody response and a transient viraemia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the status of CCHF infection serologically and virologically in livestock in the Van region, a non-endemic area in Turkey. Methods: A total of 491 whole blood and 491 serum specimens were collected from cattle, sheep and goats in different locations of Van province in Turkey from May 2020 to October 2021. To determine the CCHFV-specific antibody, all sera from animals were tested with a double-Ag ELISA-Ab kit. An RT-PCR assay was performed on total leucocyte samples for the virological study to detect the presence of European lineage-1 CCHFV nucleic acids and viraemic animals. Result: The prevalence of CCHFV-specific antibodies in animals was found to be 36.4%. The seroprevalence values detected were 11.6%, 64.45% and 81.63% in cattle, sheep and goats, respectively. In the RT-PCR assay, 1.22% (6/491) of the tested animals were found to be viraemic at the time of sampling.

Background: The optimum maturity duration for maximum grain yield of non-photosensitive rice (Oryza sativa) under direct-seeded condition in the tropics was studied. Information on such studies conducted using near-isogenic rice lines are lacking. Change in yield with maturity duration was explained using yield components. Methods: The experiment was conducted in the dry zone of Sri Lanka over two seasons namely dry and wet during 2021 and 2022. Non-photosensitive near-isogenic rice lines that are varying in maturity duration from 80 to 120 days but with 94.0% genetic uniformity were used as simple treatments in the study. Pre-germinated seeds of isogenic lines were direct-seeded in the experimental plots. Result: The most appropriate relationship between maturity duration and grain yield was cubic and the optimum maturity duration for the maximum grain yield was falling within 105 to 111 days in both dry and wet seasons under direct-seeded condition in non-photosensitive rice in the tropical climate. Number of panicles/m2 and number of spikelets/panicle influenced to change the grain yield of rice with the change in maturity duration.
Effects of Forest Bath (Shinrin-Yoku) and Forest Therapy (Shinrin-Ryoho) on Women's Health
Authors: BALMUMCU Ayça , DOĞAN PEKİNCE Gülfer
Published: February 2023

Forest bathing is an approach that uses the healing effects of forests to improve people's health and prevent disease through forest walks. Although the terms forest therapy and forest bath are used in the same sense, they are different applications. While the forest therapy application is carried out in the company of a professional trained in this subject, the therapist in the forest bath is the forest itself. Considering the positive effects of forest bathing on the cardiovascular system, nervous system, endocrine system, immune system and mental health, it is thought that it can be used as an approach to protect and improve women's health. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the physiological and psychological effects of forest bathing and forest therapy on women's health. In this study, which was revealed by literature review, the results of national and international studies on the subject were compiled. Many positive effects of forest bathing and forest therapy on the protection of human health have been reported in the literature. There are limited studies on the effects of forest therapy and forest bathing on human health, and no scientific research has been found in the field of health in our country. It is thought that these practices can be used in our country, which is rich in forests, and that scientific studies on this subject can provide benefits for women's health.

Published: February 2023

Objetivo: Neste ensaio, tenho o objetivo de compartilhar reflexões acerca da ginástica para todos (GPT), aqui denominada como ginástica para todas, todes e todos, em diálogo com uma perspectiva de educação emancipatória, humanizadora, democrática e antirracista, tendo em vista uma pedagogia da diversidade. Método: Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico. Resultados e discussão: A concepção de GPT que sustenta minhas pesquisas e docência como professora universitária, apoia-se na proposta de GPT do Grupo Ginástico Unicamp, cujo princípio metodológico fundamental consiste em potencializar as interações humanas. Experimentar nossa inteireza nas relações humanas requer, necessariamente, uma abertura intencional à diversidade de sujeitos, de corpos e de práticas, à pluralidade de culturas e à circulação de conhecimentos e saberes oriundos de diferentes grupos sociais. Requer, inevitavelmente, juntarmo-nos à luta por uma educação antirracista, por uma pedagogia da diversidade. Enfatizo, portanto, a urgência de consolidarmos uma GPT que abra cada vez mais espaço para todas as pessoas, assumindo até mesmo uma linguagem de gênero mais inclusiva e abrangente em sua nomenclatura. Daí minha proposta de anunciarmos uma ginástica para todas, todes e todos, com todas, todes e todos, por todas, todes e todos. Conclusão: Penso que essa GPT vem sendo construída e praticada no Brasil, assim como em outros países. Entretanto, sublinho a premência de aprofundarmos nossos estudos e nossas práticas em direção ao fortalecimento de uma pedagogia da diversidade na GPT. Essa é uma responsabilidade ética, estética e política de todas, todes e todos nós que defendemos uma educação emancipatória, humanizadora, democrática e antirracista.

The 21st century is all about advanced technology, offering state-of-the-art tools to help organizations optimize their productivity and achieve the business s bottom line. The same dogma applies to the education sector, with smart phones, cloud-based platforms, the internet of things (IoT), social networking sites, genetic research, supercomputers, student web portals. Educational institutions should use big data as a transformative tool for many aspects of education but crafting individual lessons and lesson plans are at the forefront. Big data visualization helps academic institutions to assess performance indicators in research and students progress along with offering an adaptive learning module the engine to work from. The education sector cannot streamline its operations without organizing the large volume of data collected every day. Educational institutions generate quintillion bytes of data every day. It is impossible to store, organize, analyze, and gain insights from complex data using conventional tools. So, this is where we need big data analytics tools and applications to accelerate data management processes. Advanced tools with intuitive user interfaces and dashboards allow streamlined collection, storage, retrieval, and analysis of students data. This work aims to use grading system with data analytics tools to identify students problems and gain insights to bring positivity to learning processes.

The long-term laboratory aspects of the effects of COVID-19 on liver function are still not well understood. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the hepatic clinical-laboratory profile of patients with up to 20 months of long-term COVID-19. A total of 243 patients of both sexes aged 18 years or older hospitalised in the acute phase of COVID-19 were included in this study. Liver function analysis was performed. Changes were identified in the mean levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and ferritin. Inflammatory markers such as ferritin > 300 U/L were observed in the group that presented more changes in liver function markers (ALT, AST, and GGT). Age ≥ 60 years, male sex, AST > 25 U/L, and GGT ≥ 50 or 32 U/L were associated with ALT > 29 U/L. There was a correlation between ALT and AST, LDH, GGT, and ferritin. Our findings suggest that ALT and AST levels may be elevated in patients with long-term COVID, especially in those hospitalised in the acute phase. In addition, ALT > 29 U/L was associated with other markers of liver injury, such as LDH, GGT, and ferritin.

Published: February 2023

OCTA is an imaging modality used in the assessment of the retinal vasculature. It operates on the principle of coherence tomography used in standard OCT with the addition of delineating the retinal vascular. This provides a modern non-invasive retinal vascular imaging method compared to conventional dye-based imaging. High quality depth resolution of the superficial and deep capillary networks is possible on OCTA whereas this was not possible prior. OCTA may be limited by image quality degradation from factors such as motion artefact or media opacities, and therefore may not be the investigation of choice for all patient groups. There are multiple potential clinical applications for OCTA in retinal and choroidal vascular disease. Ongoing research is necessary to substantiate the more widespread use of OCTA due to its significant cost burden compared to current modalities.

In the framework of maritime surveillance, vessel detection techniques based on spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images have promoted extensive applications for the effective understanding of unlawful activities at sea. The paper deal with this topic presenting a novel approach exploiting a cascade application of a pre-screening, and discrimination phase. The latter leverage the SAR spectrum by means of sub-looks analysis. For the first time, the method has been validated with experiments on multi-frequency (C-, X-, and L-band) SAR images. For a future syngergic exploitation of more SAR missions, the developed dataset, composed of Sentinel-1, SAOCOM and COSMO-SkyMed images, is comprehensive of multiple images gathered over the same area with short time lag (below 15 minutes). Finally, the diversified processing chains and the results for each mission product and scenarios are discussed. Being the first dataset of SLC (Single Look Complex) SAR multi-frequency data, the present work intends to encourage additional research in this promising field of research.
Long-term Trend Evaluation of Meandering Channel Planform at Mean Annual Subcritical Flow to Support Riparian Management
Authors: Song Xiaolong , Xu Haijue , Bai Yuchuan
Published: February 2023

This study numerically evaluated the long-term and stable trends of meandering channel planform at different mean annual subcritical flows based on a depth-averaged linearized meander evolution model. The calculation cases included an idealized sine-generated meander with moderate max-deflection angle and a typical natural meander - Jiyun River (in China). Within the increase of the selection of the mean annual width-depth ratio in a certain scope, the results showed some specific phase characteristics of channel centerline evolution: (1) the meander straightening trend became weaker in phase 1 (B/H ≤ 16.5) and gradually turned into the meander developing trend in phase 2 (B/H ≤ 27) with the overall immunity to flow magnitude; (2) the symmetric development form along the transverse direction perpendicular to the flow average direction was broken starting from the downstream tail in phase 3 (B/H ≤ 28.9), meantime accompanied by the highlight of flow effects when the mean annual B/H exceeded 28; (3) in phase 4 (B/H ≤ 29.5), there occurred obvious incipience and jump process of the channel sensitivity responding to flow when the selected B/H crossed 29.3, which were very similar to the transition process from the laminar flow to turbulent flow. Besides, the initial sinuosity and curvature-ratio indicator could contribute much to the channel evolutionary state, as demonstrated in the comparison between natural Jiyun River case and the correspondingly idealized sine-generated meander case with the same level of mean annual B/H. This research provides innovation spaces for deeper meander mechanism exploration and effective riparian management.
The Genetic Basis of Future Pharmacological Strategies for the Management of Comorbid Obesity and Depression: A Scoping Review
Authors: Rajkumar Ravi Philip
Published: February 2023

Depression and obesity are highly comorbid with one another, with evidence for bidirectional causal links between each disorder and a shared biological basis. The available evidence suggests that genetic factors play a major role in influencing both the occurrence of comorbid depression and obesity, their courses, and their response to existing treatments. The current paper is a scoping review of studies that have evaluated the contribution of specific genetic variants to the comorbidity between obesity and depression. Based on a search of the PubMed and EMBASE databases, 28 studies were included in this review, covering 54 candidate genes. Positive associations were identified for fourteen genetic loci (AKR1C2, APOA5, COMT, DAT1, FTO, KCNE1, MAOA, MC4R, MCHR2, NPY2R, NR3C1, Ob, PCSK9 and TAL1). Replicated findings across two or more independent samples were observed for the FTO and MC4R genes. Many of these gene products represent novel molecular targets for the pharmacological management of obesity which are not pharmacologically influenced by existing anti-obesity or antidepressant medications. The implications of these associations for future drug development are discussed, with an emphasis on recent evidence on the polygenic architecture of comorbid depression and obesity, and on a precision medicine approach to these conditions.
Meaning, Evolution, Principles, and Future of Sustainable Development: A Systematic Review
Authors: Ametepey Simon Ofori , Aigbavboa Clinton O , Ansah Samuel Kwame , Gyadu-Asiedu William , Boamah Linda
Published: February 2023

“Sustainable development” (SD) is a term that has gained prominence in the international dia-logue around development. Many, however, continue to misunderstand the concept, its principles, its development, and its operationalization. The wide variety of definitions and interpretations of SD lean toward institutional and social prerogatives rather than unifying the essence of the con-cept, which is rooted in conventional ideas and values. By delving deeper into the paradigm, its history, and its potential, this research sought to contribute to ongoing discussions about sus-tainable development. The literature was thoroughly analyzed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020. This historical and conceptual analysis sought to update the body of knowledge on sustainability and sustainable development by examining the metaphorical and epistemological underpinnings of SD’s various definitions, evolutions, and principles. The research concludes and argues that intergenerational justice, based on the environment, economy, and society, is the central tenet of the entire sustainable develop-ment argument. The focus and consideration of interested parties are moving from the protection of the environment to social sustainability. The future of SD is likely to continue to focus much more on the social pillar and integrate digitalization in implementing the SD concept, especially in the fourth industrial revolution. To promote ethical human behavior and activities worldwide, at national and local levels, decision-makers must be continuously cognizant of the interdepend-encies, direct interactions, and balance between the three core constructs of SD.
Letter Migrations between Words in Reading Aloud Can Result Either from an Impairment in Orthographic Input or in Phono-Logical Output
Authors: Toledano Liora , Friedmann Naama
Published: February 2023

Letter migrations between words in reading aloud (e.g., reading "cane love" as "lane love" or "lane cove") are known to result from a deficit in the visual-orthographic analysis and characterize at-tentional dyslexia. In spontaneous speech, individuals with impairment in the phonological output buffer may show migrations of phonemes between words. The purpose of this study was to examine whether migrations between words in reading aloud can also result from a deficit in the phonological output buffer, to explore the characteristics of migrations resulting from ortho-graphic input and from phonological output deficits, and to examine methods to distinguish these two sources. Using tasks of reading aloud of 92-182 word pairs, we identified 18 adults and ad-olescents with developmental dyslexia who made between-word letter migrations in reading aloud, significantly more than age-matched controls (372 adults and 26 7th-graders). To distin-guish between orthographic-input and phonological-output sources for these migrations, we administered a test assessing orthographic-input without spoken-output (writ-ten-semantic-decision on 140 migratable word pairs) and a test of repetition of 36 auditori-ly-presented migratable word pairs, assessing spoken output without orthographic-input (and word span tests). These tests indicated that the migrations of ten of the participants with dyslexia resulted from an orthographic-input deficit, and for the other eight participants, migrations re-sulted from a phonological-output deficit. We identified several differences between the two types of between-word errors: first, whereas the individuals with attentional dyslexia made omissions of a letter that appeared in the same position in the two words, the phonological output buffer group did not make such omissions. In addition, the groups differed in the origin of mi-gration: orthographic input migrations involve letters that are orthographically adjacent, whereas phonological output migrations involve phonemes that have just been spoken or that are pre-pared together in the phonological buffer for production. This was manifested in that migrations from the line below and from two lines above occurred only in the orthographic input deficit group, and migrations occurred from a word vertically close to the target in the orthographic input group but from a word that has just been spoken (placed diagonally to the target) in the phonological output group. This study thus indicates that between-word migrations in read-ing-aloud can result not only from attentional dyslexia, but also from a phonological output buffer deficit, and offers ways to distinguish between the two.
Maghrebians (or Mauri) Speak Magharibi, not Arabic
Authors: ELIMAM Abdou
Published: February 2023

After defeating and pushing aside the Carthaginians, the Romans named the territory of north Africa Mauretania and its population, Mauri. Later on, historians have had to reflect on the origin of the term mauri to designate the population or Mauretania to name the territory. Besides the signification of the Latin/Greek word « mauri » which means « black », it is admitted, as well, that the word Mauri is a transcription, into Latin alphabet, of a punic word meaning « the west » or « the westerners ». If the latter meaning is 2000 years old, the other approbation is relatively modern and suspected of ideological biases. The punic word maġaribis, transcribed mauri/ma’ari/mahauri, really makes sense since it means the west in Punic - the 15 century-long North African lingua franca.

Methods. Retrospective study. The workload was measured using TISS–28, NEMS and NAS tools. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data, and a single-sample test was used to verify the research hypotheses. Results. The sample consisted of medical records of 33 patients; 592 observations were analyzed. Studies prove the need for research on the workload of nurses in neonatal intensive care units. A patient with CDH should receive nursing care as required. Conclusion. It is necessary to implement a model for measuring the workload of nurses in neonatal intensive care units, taking into account the evaluation of work and its optimization.
CF-ESRT: Coarse-to-Fine Efficient Super Resolution Transformers for Clinical-to-Dermoscopic Image Reconstruction
Authors: Park Bumjin , You Wonsang
Published: February 2023

Deep learning technologies for skin cancer detection have been dramatically advanced based on high resolution dermoscopic images. The low-cost approach based on clinical skin images of low resolution is promising but remains technically challenging due to their undermined image quality. In this paper, we propose a coarse-to-fine efficient super resolution transformer (CF-ESRT) network to reconstruct the dermoscopy-level high resolution skin image from a low resolution clinical image. By connecting the refinement network to the original super resolution transformers and applying perceptual and gradient losses, our framework noticeably improves the finer texture details of skin lesions in the super resolution (SR) images, and is effective to elevate the perceptual quality of the SR images. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations show that our method outperforms ESRT the basis model as well as the other state-of-the-art SR models.

Published: February 2023

Background:

The optimal treatment of older patients with a displaced femoral neck fracture remains a controversial topic. This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes across a matched group of patients with a femoral neck fracture treated with either hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods:

Routinely collected health-care databases were linked to create a population-based cohort of 49,597 patients ≥60 years old from Ontario, Canada, who underwent hemiarthroplasty or THA for a femoral neck fracture between 2002 and 2017. A propensity-score-matched cohort was created using relevant and available predictors of treatment assignment and outcomes of interest. Clinical outcomes consisting of hip dislocation, revision surgery, hospital readmission, and death were compared in the matched cohort using survival analysis.

Results:

Over 99% of THA patients (4,612) were adequately matched 1:1 to hemiarthroplasty patients (total matched cohort = 9,224). Patients treated with THA were at higher risk for hip dislocation at 30 days and 1 and 2 years postoperatively (2-year risk, 1.8% for THA versus 0.8% for hemiarthroplasty; p < 0.001). There was no difference in the short-term (30-day) or long-term (up to 10-year) risk of revision surgery between treatment groups. There was no significant difference in the risk of 30-day hospital readmission between groups. The risk of death at 1 year and 2 years postoperatively was lower for patients treated with THA.

Conclusions:

For patients with a hip fracture, shared decision-making should involve discussion of the potential higher risk of short-term hip dislocation after THA compared with hemiarthroplasty. The risk of revision surgery was similar between treatment groups at up to 10 years of follow-up.

—To study the effect of tilted uniaxial electrical anisotropy parameters on electric and electromagnetic logging signals, their numerical simulation and comparative analysis in homogeneous and layered models have been performed. An algorithm for three-dimensional numerical simulation of resistivity logging signals in spatially heterogeneous models with tilted principal axes of the electrical conductivity tensor, based on the finite-element method, was used in the calculations. The obtained results indicate the potential for a more accurate estimation of electrophysical properties of fractured carbonate reservoirs of the pre-Jurassic basement of West Siberia, which are characterized by the tilt of the electrical conductivity tensor principal axes.

The problem of land degradation is global throughout the world. Many studies have noted that land reclamation can adversely affect their quality. In Russia and a number of countries of the post-Soviet space, the quality of land is assessed by such an indicator as the ameliorative state. The purpose of the research was the spatio-temporal analysis of the ameliorative state of the lands of the Altai Territory in the forest-steppe, steppe and foothill zone. The object of study was chosen due to the diversity of its landscape and climate variability due to the influence of mountain systems. Such general scientific research methods as analysis and synthesis, as well as applied methods were used: multivariate data analysis (cluster and regression analysis), GIS technologies. The calculations were made in the STATISTICA package, the significance level in all calculations was taken equal to 0.05. Research results. The structure of agricultural lands on rain-fed and reclaimed lands in each agrochemical zone has been determined. In the structure of lands, the share of arable land on reclaimed lands is higher than on rainfed lands. This is due to a significant increase in productivity during land reclamation. The share of reclaimed lands with perennial plantations in the foothill zone is 12 times higher than that of rainfed lands. The deposit in the foothill zone is only on rainfed lands. Clustering of 25 districts was completed according to the state of reclaimed land at the beginning of 2015 and 2022. The regions of the region that have reduced or increased the ameliorative state of the lands have been identified. The rate of change in the land area corresponding to each ameliorative state is estimated. The oldest reclamation systems are located in the steppe zone of the Altai Territory, which affects the dynamics of changes in the quality of reclamated lands. The reclamation state of the lands in the foothill zone remained unchanged; statistically insignificant trends were revealed in the forest-steppe zone. In conclusion, the results of the calculations are summarized. For the period 2015-2022 the area of reclaimed land has not changed. The region is characterized by the predominance of lands of good and satisfactory ameliorative condition, regardless of the agrochemical zones. The changes revealed by the typification of areas according to the reclamation state of lands at the beginning and end of the period are mainly due to a decrease in the reclamation state of lands in the steppe zone with the transition from good to satisfactory.
Drilling Heat Maps for Active Temperature Management in Geothermal Wells

Geothermal energy has gained much attention as a promising contributor to the energy transition for its ability to provide a reliable, environmentally friendly source of heat and baseload power. However, drilling high-temperature (HT) reservoirs presents significant technical and economic challenges, including thermally induced damage to bits and downhole (DH) tools, increasing drilling time and cost. This paper introduces drilling heat maps for proactive temperature management in geothermal wells during well planning and real-time drilling operations phases to avoid thermally induced drilling problems.

This study uses a transient hydraulic model integrated with a thermal model to predict the bottomhole circulating temperature (BHCT) while drilling geothermal wells. The model is used to generate a large volume (1,000s) of case scenarios to explore the impact of various cooling and other heat management strategies on the BHCT in the Utah FORGE field, used here as an example, covering a wide range of drilling parameters. Results are captured, visualized, and analyzed in convenient heat maps, illustrating the advantages of using such heat maps in geothermal well construction and real-time operations.

Model validation with FORGE 16A(78)-32 well data and a west Texas case scenario shows good agreement between the modeling results and experimental data, with a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of less than 4%. There is a clear logarithmic relationship between the drilling flow rate and BHCT at a constant mud inlet temperature and a linear relationship between the mud inlet temperature and BHCT at a constant drilling flow rate. Pronounced variation of BHCT in geothermal wells is observed with mud type, mud weight, and mud viscosity. In addition, insulated drillpipe (IDP) technology is found to significantly reduce BHCT (14–44% on average for FORGE scenarios) compared to conventional drillpipe (CDP), particularly in wells with extended measured depth (MD) where other heat management technologies and strategies become less effective.

Drilling heat maps can alert drilling engineers to strategies with the highest BHCT-lowering impact, allowing focused technology selection and decision-making regarding optimal temperature management during the geothermal well design phase. In addition, real-time heat maps are valuable for facilitating active temperature management and providing real-time guidance for optimal drilling parameters during daily drilling operations. In general, heat maps can help to avoid drilling problems related to the combination of HT and temperature limitations of DH equipment, which will benefit the safe and cost-efficient development of geothermal resources.
