A Comprehensive Web-based System for Flood Inundation Map Generation and Comparative Analysis Based on Height Above Nearest Drainage
Authors: Li Zhouyayan , Demir Ibrahim
Published: December 2021

It is critical to obtain accurate flood extent predictions in a timely manner in order to reduce flood-related casualties and economic losses. Running a real-time flood inundation mapping model is a critical step in supporting quick flood response decisions. Most inundation systems, on the other hand, are either overly demanding in terms of data and computing power or have limited interaction and customization with various input and model configurations. This paper describes a client-side web-based real-time inundation mapping system based on the Height Above the Nearest Drainage (HAND) model. The system includes tools for hydro-conditioning terrain data, modifying terrain data, custom inundation mapping, online model performance evaluation, and hydro-spatial analyses. Instead of only being able to work on a few preprocessed datasets, the system is ready to run in any region of the world with limited data needs (i.e., elevation). With the system's multi-depth inundation mapping approach, we can use water depth measurements (sensor-based or crowdsourced) or model predictions to generate more accurate and realistic flood inundation maps based on current or future conditions. All of the system's functions can be performed entirely through a client-side web browser, without the need for GIS software or server-side computing. For decision-makers and the general public with limited technical backgrounds, the system provides a one-stop, easy-to-use flood inundation modeling and analysis tool.
Bridge maintenance management based on routine inspection data: a quantitative approach
Authors: Xu Gaowei , Azhari Fae
Published: December 2021

The United States National Bridge Inventory (NBI) records element-level condition ratings on a scale of 0 to 9, representing failed to excellent conditions. Current bridge management systems apply Markov decision processes to find optimal repair schemes given the condition ratings. The deterioration models used in these approaches fail to consider the effect of structural age. In this study, a condition-based bridge maintenance framework is proposed where the state of a bridge component is defined using a three-dimensional random variable that depicts the working age, condition rating, and initial age. The proportional hazard model with a Weibull baseline hazard function translates the three-dimensional random variable into a single hazard indicator for decision-making. To demonstrate the proposed method, concrete bridge decks were taken as the element of interest. Two optimal hazard criteria help select the repair scheme (essential repair, general repair, or no action) that leads to minimum annual expected life-cycle costs.
A rational account of the repulsion effect
Authors: Bhui Rahul , Xiang Yang
Published: December 2021

The repulsion effect occurs when the presence of an inferior option (the decoy) decreases the attractiveness of the option that dominates it (the target), in puzzling contrast to the attraction effect. In this paper, we formally develop and experimentally test a normative account of the repulsion effect. Our theory is based on the idea that the true values of options are uncertain and must be inferred from available information, which includes the properties of other options. A low-value decoy can signal that the target also has low value when both are believed to be generated by a similar process. We formalize this logic using a hierarchical Bayesian cognitive model that makes predictions about how the strength of the repulsion effect should vary with statistical properties of the decision problem. This theory can help account for several documented phenomena linked to the repulsion effect, as well as results from new lab experiments. Our results illuminate key drivers of context dependence across both economic and perceptual judgment and sharpen our understanding of when decoys can be detrimental.
Achievement Ideology and Alienation in School: Precarious Worth, Impossible Dreams, and Living Another’s Life
Authors: Drake Sean , Guhin Jeffrey
Published: December 2021

Drawing on over two years of the first author’s ethnographic fieldwork in two suburban high schools, the authors show how alienation is inextricably linked to an achievement ideology common in many forms of American schooling. In contrast to previous work that either no longer studies alienation or emphasizes alienation as a cause or result of student’ lack of achievement, the authors develop a theoretical defense of alienation to show how achieving students can still feel alienated. They describe three forms of alienation using the first author’s fieldwork: precarious worth, impossible dreams, and living another’s life. They close with the research’s political and sociological implications, especially the relationship between the achievement ideology and the study of schools itself.

Authors: Ulak S. , Lama B. , Pradhan D. K. , Bhattarai S.
Published: December 2021

This paper explores the status of agroforestry systems and practices in the Terai and hill regions of Nepal.  Field survey, semi-structured interview and focus group discussions with the local farmers and stakeholders were conducted to explore the status of the agroforestry system and practices. The study covers forty-three districts, and represents agroforestry systems and practices in the Terai and hill regions of Nepal. Altogether, twelve agroforestry systems and forty-three agroforestry practices were documented in the Terai and hills of Nepal- ten systems in the Terai and seven systems in the hills. Agrisilviculture, agrisilvihorticulture, agrosilvopastoral, agrohortosilvopastoral, homegarden, hortiagriculture, silvofishery, agrosilvifishery, hortisilviculture and apiculture were the major agroforestry systems adopted in the Terai whereas those adopted in the hills included hortiagriculture, agrisilviculture, agrisilvihorticulture, agrosilvopastoral, homegarden, hortosilvipastoral and silvopastoral. The study revealed a gradual emerging scenario of commercial agroforestry systems in these regions although the continuation of traditional agroforestry systems was observed in most of the Terai and hill regions. Insufficient labour availability, fragmentation of land, market price fluctuation, lack of technical knowledge, and wild animal disturbances were some of the major challenges observed in the Terai and hills of Nepal.

Published: December 2021

This study highlights the processing and marketing of rattan canes with reference to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The study was designed based on the exploratory research, and was carried out in all the districts of Nepal with rattan enterprises. The main objective was to assess the processing status, supply, and demand including constraints and potentialities of rattan-canes as well as their marketing practices. Systematic random sampling method was followed to take the sampling of rattan processing enterprises of CFUGs. The questionnaire survey was conducted among35 rattan entrepreneurs cum rattan traders and ten executive committee members of CFUGs. The quantitative data was analyzed using Frequency. The study found that hanger, cradle, stools, chairs, and tables were largely manufactured items among all the rattan-cane products. The annual consumption of imported rattan from India and other countries ranged from 850 MT to 1094 MT. Nepalese rattan fulfills 30% of the total demand. The average marketing margin of rattan products was found to be 37-64%. Nepalese rattan is potential to fulfill 70-80% of the total domestic demand of smaller size strands of rattan.

Authors: Karki G. , Bhatta B. , Devkota N. R. , Kunwar R. M.
Published: December 2021

Poverty and high dependency of rural and mountainous households on the natural resources of Nepal have made the country more vulnerable to climate change. On the other hand, there is inadequacy of adaptation services provided to the vulnerable households and ecosystems. Responding to climate change necessitates amore consolidated effort and effective implementation interventions from both the government and non-government actors. To help achieve this very essence, this study has aimed to- (i) review the existing climate change adaptation (CCA) practices, processes and patterns of sustainable resource mobilization and benefit sharing, and (ii) develop a framework that ensures sustainability of resources and equitable sharing of services and benefits accrued from CCA. Consultations with the communities, key state and non-state stakeholders both at federal and provincial levels, reviews of national policies, strategies, periodic plans and programs and field visits were carried out to synthesize the information, document the knowledge, and highlight the gaps pertaining to CCA. Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) was executed for analyzing qualitative information. Recently, the Government of Nepal has developed a priority framework on sustainable resource management and delivery of adaptation services. In line with the eight themes identified by the National Climate Change Policy (NCCP, 2019), the proposed framework has paid central attention on medium and long-term adaptation planning adhered with Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) and Community-based Adaptation (CbA). Building resilience, reducing vulnerability, increasing capacities, enabling environment, and integrating CCA in development planning have been the focus of the framework. It is found that the delivery of adaptation services to the climate vulnerable groups and poor communities is well reached out through CbA and EbA approaches. It is therefore, crucial in strengthening community- and locally-based mechanisms (such as forest-user groups, farmers groups, agricultural and fisheries cooperatives, and community networks) for sustainable management and delivery of services to facilitate effective adaptation.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: Pediatric dental management is difficult in its own way which was even more challenging during COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown period. Constrained dental providing clinics and hospitals severely compromised the pediatric dental needs and services.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe pattern of dental emergencies encountered and services provided to the pediatric patients visiting a dental hospital during the first lockdown period in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Methods: A cross sectional study was done from 24 March 2020 to 21 July 2020 among the pediatric patients who visited dental hospital during lockdown. Data was collected from questionnaire and dental case history sheet, and statistically analyzed in Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.

Results: Of the total 172 pediatric patients of mean age 8.3± 2.60 years, majority were males (59.3%) and of 6-12 age group (76.2%). Major complain was mobile/retained teeth (38.4%) and most common diagnosis was exfoliating mobility (23.3%). According to American Dental Association (ADA, 2020) guidelines, urgent dental care (46.5%) followed by non-emergency dental care (43.6%) were mostly found. The predominant procedures were emergency (68.6%) and least was elective (9.3%) and treatment given to majority was extraction (51.8%).There was a statistically significant association between age group and pediatric dental care (ADA).

Conclusions: The findings of this study regarding dental emergency encountered and definitive treatment received even during pandemic lockdown can be helpful in finding out how dental care was provided and can be applicable in similar future pandemics.

Authors: Adhikari Rishi , Adhikari Devendra
Published: December 2021

Participation is an important dimension of good governance. In Nepal, there seem positive changes in women's participation in School Management Committees (SMC), Parent Teachers Association (PTA), and school administration but the participation of women has become a far-reaching goalin public school governance. This article is about exploring how women's participation could contribute to promoting good governance practices in community schools. Authors have applied an interpretative inquiry and participation and feminist standpoint theories to make out the meaning in this study which was carried in two public schools in Lalitpur, Nepal. The finding reveals that his meaningful representation of women in school governance is likely to minimize the governance challenges such as absenteeism, low parents’ participation, poor resource mobilization, transparency, and accountability.These positive transformations contribute to the community development process. However, enabling environment for women is needed to ensure their meaningful representation in school governance structures. This study is beneficial to educationists, planners, and development workers in Nepal.

Background:  The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, caused by the pathogenic severe acute respiratory syndrome-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, is exponentially spreading across the globe.
Methods: The current systematic review was performed utilizing electronic databases i.e. PubMed, MEDLINE and EMBASE. We searched for the keywords "COVID-19 AND "pregnancy" between January 1st, 2020 until December 31, 2020.
Results: Out of 4005 records which were identified, 36 original studies were included in this systematic review. Pooled prevalence of vertical transmission was 10%, 95% CI: 4-17%. Pooled prevalence of neonatal mortality was 7%, 95% CI: 0-21%.
Conclusion: The contemporary evidence suggests that the incubation period of COVID-19 is 2-14 days, and this infection could be transmitted even from the infected asymptomatic individuals. It is found that the clinical presentation of pregnant women with COVID-19 infection is comparable with the infected non-pregnant females, and the frequent symptoms were fever, cough, myalgia, sore throat and malaise. There are some cases with severe maternal morbidity and perinatal deaths secondary to COVID-19 infection. Under these circumstances, the pregnant women should focus on maintaining personal hygiene, proper nutrition and extreme social distancing to reduce the risk of COVID-19. Therefore, a systematic data reporting for evidence base clinical assessment, management and pregnancy outcomes is essential for prevention of COVID-19 infection among pregnant women.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: Nutrition plays an important role in older people. Numerous factors are associated with malnutrition among community-dwelling older people. However, little is known about how malnourished older people experience their nutritional status. This study aimed to explore how malnourished community-dwelling older people perceive the factors associated with their nutritional status. Methods: An explorative qualitative design was performed in Kandy District, Sri Lanka. A group of 150 malnourished community-dwelling older people identified from a cross sectional survey were invited for Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). A purposive sampling method was used. Fifteen FGDs were conducted among 85 participants. A thematic analysis was done to identify relevant themes related to malnutrition status. Results: The mean age of the participants was 68.74 years (SD± 6.32). Their age range was 60 to 97 years. Four main themes were identified through FGDs: (1) factors affecting dietary patterns, (2) food choices, (3) health status, and (4) psychological challenges.

Conclusions: Community-dwelling malnourished older people stated factors associated with their dietary patterns, such as age-related factors, food choices, health status and mental status, lead to their malnutrition status. Public health professionals must understand and recognize these realities to improve the nutritional status of community-dwelling older people.

Authors: Wimalajeewa T.M.D.Y.D.  , Hettiaratchi U.P.K.
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) has become an emerging metabolic disorder around the world leading to type 2 diabetes mellitus in two generations, including the mother and the offspring. Complications associated with GDM can be prevented by proper management of the disease. This study aimed to assess knowledge and attitudes on GDM and its associated factors in a selected population of pregnant mothers in Sri Lanka. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among eight antenatal clinics in the Mathugama Medical Officer of Health (MOH) area, Sri Lanka. Pregnant mothers of less than 20 weeks of gestation (n=150) attending the above clinics were selected by convenience sampling. A pre-tested, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used as the data collection instrument. The SPSS version 23 was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics, visual binning, independent sample t-test and bivariate correlation were used as statistical tools. Results: Only 4.7% of participants had developed GDM previously. The mean gestational age of the study participants was 12±5 weeks. The mean percentage knowledge score regarding GDM was 36.1±23.3%. Only 20.0% had good knowledge and 35.3% had poor knowledge about GDM. Age (p=0.017), level of education (p=0.024), history of GDM (p=0.033), and family history of diabetes mellitus (p=0.025) had significant associations with the knowledge on GDM. In addition, positive correlations were found between the mean knowledge score for GDM and gestational age (p=0.001), and the gravidity (p=0.018) of the participants (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Only a minority of the study group (20.0%) had good knowledge about GDM while, more than 50.0% of the participants showed positive attitude towards the management of GDM. Therefore, taking measures to enhance the pregnant mothers’ knowledge regarding GDM is a timely and important action that ultimately leads to healthy pregnancy outcomes.

The Relationship between Natural Environment Relatedness and Emotional Well-Being: A Systematic Review and Proposed Conceptual Framework Experience
Authors: Ahmad Noorlila , Abd Rahman Siti Fatimah
Published: December 2021

The influence of the natural environment on emotional well-being has been highlighted at the peak of the Covid 19 pandemic that saw most countries impose prolonged total lockdowns and movement restrictions on their citizens. While researchers have recently emphasized the need to focus not only on students’ academic achievement but also on their inner needs, which include their emotional well-being, studies have found nature connectedness has a positive effect on emotional well-being and physical health. Many studies on nature and well-being have focused on physiological and psychological experimental research to examine before and after exposure to nature. However, there is still a need for further investigation how emotional connection between nature environments in the aspect of restorativeness and spiritual values improve mental health.  This paper systematically reviewed previous studies about the relationship between exposure to the natural environment and well-being focusing on key variables, underpinning theories, methodological processes and samples. As a result of the review, a conceptual framework is proposed for future studies on relationship between exposure to the natural environment and well-being. We hope that the proposed framework will be empirically tested in future studies.
The Influence of Urban Poverty on Students’ Academic Optimism: Does Government Assistance Play a Role?
Authors: Othman Azam , Mohd Ali Hairuddin , Hussien Suhailah , Abdullah Moha Asri , Ruslan Norbaiduri , Souad Merah
Published: December 2021

The present study investigated the relationship between urban poor students’ perceptions of government assistance and poverty and their level of academic optimism. A survey was administered to 500 urban poor students in two major Malaysian cities, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru. The students were identified and randomly selected for the study with the help of their respective schools. AMOS version 24 was used to test the hypothesised model using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The findings revealed a significant direct association between students’ perceptions of poverty and academic optimism. However, no significant indirect influence was found between students’ perceptions of poverty and their academic optimism through government assistance. These findings suggest that government assistance programmes are not necessarily a contributor to students’ academic optimism. The lack of any significant influence between students’ perceptions of poverty and academic optimism, through government assistance, may indicate a need to re-evaluate the existing assistance programmes rendered by the government to students in the urban poor category.

Published: December 2021

Multiple paraneoplastic syndromes are a rare clinical manifestation. We describe the case of an 82-year-old woman who presented with neurological (rapidly progressive cerebellar syndrome and combined sensory-motor neuronopathy) and rheumatological (palmar fasciitis and polyarthritis syndrome) paraneoplastic syndromes associated with two onconeural antibodies (anti-Yo and Zic4), that revealed an ovarian cancer. The involvement of multiple organ systems should be a clue to take into consideration a paraneoplastic etiology that could permit early detection of cancer. However, despite the existence of treatments, the prognosis of these conditions remains poor.

In solving the problem of qualitative improvement of meat breeds, an important place is occupied by the improvement of methods of practical use of existing methods of selection of parental pairs using histocompatibility antigens, polymorphic proteins and blood group systems. The purpose of the work is to determine the effect of homogeneous and heterogeneous selection of parental pairs by blood group factors on the weight and linear growth of Ukrainian beef bulls. Ukrainian meat breed is bred using four breeds and is characterised by high variability in polymorphic traits. The type of selection of parents was determined by the index of antigenic similarity (ras) of antigens of the B blood group system of cattle. To calculate the index of antigenic similarity of parents, the formula of D.A. Zhivotovskiy and A.M. Mashurov was used. The selection was considered homogeneous if the parents’ ras ≥ 0.268, and heterogeneous if ras ≤ 0.267. It is proved that bulls that come from parents with higher ras prevail in the test by average daily gain and have a higher live weight. For ras in parents over 0.268, animals tend to improve growth rate by 8 months of age. This trend continues after weaning. Bulls sired by parents with ras up to 0.267 have better average daily gains in the period from 15 to 18 months, which indicates their lower precocity. According to the index of antigenic similarity of parents over 0.268, animals are better in terms of meat forms at the age of 15 and 18 months. At 15 months of age, bulls obtained from homogeneous selection for ras have smaller height measurements, the better developed front part of the body in terms of chest width and depth, and longer torso and hindquarters. Homogeneous selection of parental pairs according to the index of similarity of antigens of the B blood group system improves the weight growth and expressiveness of meat forms in bulls of the Ukrainian beef breed

Belimbing wuluh is one of the species in the family (Averrhoa). It is estimated that this plant comes from tropical America, this plant grows well in its country of origin, while Indonesia is mostly kept in the yard and sometimes grows wild in the fields or forest edges. In general, wuluh starfruit for the people of Aceh is used as a spice called sunti acid. Starfruit can also be used as a raw material for making soap which has properties to inhibit premature aging and overcome acne problems because starfruit contains vitamins A and C.Belimbing wuluh is also known as a plant that grows in the yards of Acehnese houses, which every time it bears fruit it will produce quite a lot of fruit, if it is not used for making processed products, the fruit will rot on the tree or fall on the ground. Based on the abundant raw materials, this research will focus on "Utilization of Starfruit for Making Facial Cleansing Solid Soap". The purpose of this research is to make solid soap with additional ingredients of starfruit, and produce solid facial soap from starfruit in the form of face wash sticks so that it is easy to use.

It has been one year since the Coronavirus become a pandemic worldwide. Studies highlighted that various measures have been well conducted to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. Recently, World Health Organization (WHO) announced a new COVID variant named Omicron which is initially reported in South Africa. As a result, the challenge is getting more difficult as viruses continuously mutate. The pandemic situation demand nurses to gain competencies in delivering innovative care for patients with COVID-19 infection.

Main soil nutrients dynamics in sod-dressing intercropped orchard
Authors: Gurin A. G. , Rezvyakova S. V. , Revin N. Yu.
Published: December 2021

The study aimed to estimate seasonal dynamics of soil nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium under the influence of sod grasses in a sod-dressing intercropped orchard. The trial was conducted in a Welsey apple 1987-year orchard. Trees were planted at 8×6 m, cultivar seedlings used as rootstock. Red clover and meadow timothy in variant shares were used for interrow sodding. The cereal—legume intercropping was done in 2015, preceded by a 180 kg/ha active substance phosphorus-potassium dressing in reserve. Nitrogen was applied annually prior to growing season at 34.4 kg/ha active substance. Grass biomass in first hay cutting was the highest and comprised 45.3-49.9 % total mass. A total four cuttings dry mass was 3.36-7.10 t/ha depending on scheme. The maximum biomass was registered for the schemes with red clover and meadow timothy at ratios 1:1 and 7:3 (6.52 and 7.10 t/ha). In the growing period, grass depleted soil for 111.1—219.9 kg/ha nitrogen, 21.5-42.7 kg/ha phosphorus and 209.3—380.8 kg/ha potassium. Such consumptions suggest a serious competition for soil nutrients between grass vegetation and fruit trees. The available phosphorus and potassium content was independent of interrow dressing schemes. Inter-scheme differences did not exceed experimental bias due to presowing phosphorus and potassium application in reserve before trial. By first cutting, the nitrate nitrogen soil content in sodding schemes was 1.5-2-fold less vs. bare fallow, i.e. more nitrogen is used by vegetating grass, and its available forms recover slower than being consumed.

OBJECTIVE

There have been no accurate surveillance data regarding the incidence rate of spinal arteriovenous shunts (SAVSs). Here, the authors investigate the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of SAVSs.

METHODS

The authors conducted multicenter hospital-based surveillance as an inventory survey at 8 core hospitals in Okayama Prefecture between April 1, 2009, and March 31, 2019. Consecutive patients who lived in Okayama and were diagnosed with SAVSs on angiographic studies were enrolled. The clinical characteristics and the incidence rates of each form of SAVS and the differences between SAVSs at different spinal levels were analyzed.

RESULTS

The authors identified a total of 45 patients with SAVSs, including 2 cases of spinal arteriovenous malformation, 5 cases of perimedullary arteriovenous fistula (AVF), 31 cases of spinal dural AVF (SDAVF), and 7 cases of spinal epidural AVF (SEAVF). The crude incidence rate was 0.234 per 100,000 person-years for all SAVSs including those at the craniocervical junction (CCJ) level. The incidence rate of SDAVF and SEAVF combined increased with advancing age in men only. In a comparative analysis between upper and lower spinal SDAVF/SEAVF, hemorrhage occurred in 7/14 cases (50%) at the CCJ/cervical level and in 0/24 cases (0%) at the thoracolumbar level (p = 0.0003). Venous congestion appeared in 1/14 cases (7%) at the CCJ/cervical level and in 23/24 cases (96%) at the thoracolumbar level (p < 0.0001).

CONCLUSIONS

The authors reported detailed incidence rates of SAVSs in Japan. There were some differences in clinical characteristics of SAVSs in the upper spinal levels and those in the lower spinal levels.

OBJECTIVE

Maximal safe ablation of target structures during magnetic resonance–guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLiTT) is critical to achieving good seizure outcome in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE). The authors sought to determine whether intraoperative physiological variables are associated with ablation volume during MRgLiTT.

METHODS

Patients with mTLE who underwent MRgLiTT at our institution from 2014 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Ablation volume was determined with volumetric analysis of intraoperative postablation MR images. Physiological parameters (systolic blood pressure [SBP], diastolic blood pressure [DBP], mean arterial pressure [MAP], end-tidal carbon dioxide [ETCO2]) measured 40 minutes prior to ablation were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine independent predictors of ablation volume.

RESULTS

Forty-four patients met the inclusion criteria. The median (interquartile range) ablation volume was 4.27 (2.92–5.89) cm3, and median ablation energy was 7216 (6402–8784) J. The median MAP, SBP, DBP, and ETCO2 values measured during the 40-minute period leading up to ablation were 72.8 (66.2–81.5) mm Hg, 104.4 (96.4–114.4) mm Hg, 62.4 (54.1–69.8) mm Hg, and 34.1 (32.0–36.2) mm Hg, respectively. In univariate analysis, only total laser energy (r = 0.464, p = 0.003) and 40-minute average ETCO2 (r = −0.388, p = 0.012) were significantly associated with ablation volume. In multivariate analysis, only ETCO2 ≤ 33 mm Hg (p = 0.001) was significantly associated with ablation volume.

CONCLUSIONS

Total ablation energy and ETCO2, but not blood pressure, may significantly affect ablation volume in mTLE patients undergoing MRgLiTT. Mild hypocapnia was associated with increased extent of ablation. Intraoperative monitoring and modulation of ETCO2 may help improve extent of ablation, prediction of ablation volume, and potentially seizure outcome.
