DOOML: A New Database & Object-Oriented Modeling Language for Database-Driven Web Application Design and Development
Authors: Otter Thijs
Published: October 2022

A database driven web application is a very common software solution to rising business problems. Modeling the database and the software architecture can be challenging, hence there not being one combined modeling language for database and software architecture, specifically suited for web application development. In this paper we present Database object-oriented Modeling Language (DooML) and its primary Archetype Diagram: a notation for specifying the design of a database schema and corresponding object-oriented software architecture. It combines the syntax for drawing Entity Relationship Diagrams, the Relational Model and Universal Modeling Language Class Diagrams as well to create a mixed diagram, stating database design as well as software design specifications. By default, DooML ensures that the approach of advanced web application development is model-driven and both database-oriented as well as object-oriented.
Multi-color imaging in a unilateral central retinal artery occlusion following dengue fever: A case report and literature review
Authors: Sanjay Srinivasan , Kawali Ankush , Gopalakrishnan Nikhil , Shetty Rohit , Mahendradas Padmamalini
Published: October 2022

Background: Dengue fever is associated with various sight-threatening ocular manifestations, some of which can occur several months after fever. These include subconjunctival hemorrhage, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal hemorrhage, cotton wool spots, central and branch retinal artery occlusion, central scotoma, papilledema, optic neuropathy, retinal vasculitis, retinitis, retinal pigment epithelium mottling, foveolitis, choroidal effusion, exudative retinal detachment, anterior uveitis, endogenous endophthalmitis, and panophthalmitis. Herein, we report a patient with unilateral central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and raised dengue immunoglobulin G (IgG) titers who underwent serial multimodal imaging with fundus photography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), and multi-color imaging (MCI). Furthermore, we reviewed recent publications highlighting different eye diseases and the role of MCI in their diagnosis and serial monitoring.

Case presentation: A 53-year-old Asian Indian woman complained of blurring of vision in the right eye (OD) two months after a bout of fever. Her best-corrected distance visual acuity was finger counting close to the face in the OD and 20/40 in the left eye. CRAO of the OD was diagnosed. Systemic investigations were normal except for elevated dengue IgG levels. Optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography confirmed this diagnosis. MCI and SD-OCT using Spectralis™ performed before and after treatment with oral steroids demonstrated improvement. MCI served as a noninvasive ancillary tool for monitoring the CRAO. In addition to the case report, we summarize articles pertaining to MCI published during the years 2018–2022. The list is not exhaustive but highlights salient features of different retinal and choroidal disorders evaluated using MCI. Our summary highlights the role of MCI in the diagnosis and serial monitoring of eye diseases.

Conclusions: A diagnosis of post-dengue fever retinal artery occlusion should be made after ruling out other causes of retinal artery vascular occlusion. We demonstrated retinal changes using serial imaging. MCI can be a useful tool, along with SD-OCT, to monitor clinical improvement. Optometrists can follow up patients with retinal vascular occlusions using noninvasive methods.

Challenges of student accommodation at institutions of higher learning with particular reference to University of KwaZulu-Natal
Authors:   , Adams Pamela
Published: October 2022

Access to higher education by the general populace in South Africa has been steadily increasing over the last decade. With this increase in access, major challenges have presented themselves that may compromise the transformational agenda for higher education in South Africa. Paramount among these challenges is the insufficient capacity of higher education institutions to accommodate students that live far from the university campuses, academic support programs to support students who had poor schooling background and academic facilities to support the growing number of students. The focus of this research was to examine the challenges associated with student accommodation. Student perceptions are very important and they are the beneficiaries of student accommodation. In total, 600 questionnaires were dispatched to students from the five campuses of University of KwaZulu-Natal and 453 were returned which gave a 75.5% response rate. The research instrument consisted of 31 items, with a level of measurement at a nominal or an ordinal level. Data obtained from the respondents included biographical data, quality of accommodation, accessibility and adequacy of accommodation, security, safety and health issues in the University accommodation. The data collected from the responses was analysed with SPSS version 24.0. The results will present the descriptive statistics in the form of graphs, cross tabulations and other figures for the quantitative data that was collected. Inferential techniques include the use of correlations and chi square test values; which are interpreted using the p-values. The study showed that accessibility to the university accommodation for residential purposes is a great challenge for many students. Other issues faced by students includes insecurity on campus, irregular security checks, inefficient and untimely manner of the quality of services rendered by the hall management. Good and efficient accommodative measures by the university is of necessity for quality academic output and hence the need for critical intervention as recommended in the study.

Authors: Prasetyo Hutomo Tri Kuncoro , Sutrisno
Published: October 2022

This study aims to determine and understand the effect of the two research models. The first model is the effect of the independent variables market timing ability and inflation rate on the dependent variable asset allocation. The second model is the effect of independent variables market timing ability, inflation rates, and asset allocation on the performance of Islamic mutual funds in Indonesia (July 2017-June 2022 Period). Mutual fund performance is measured by the Omega Ratio with a minimum expected return threshold of 10%. The sample selection technique uses purposive sampling and uses 5 samples of Islamic funds that have a barometer below 3 or are considered unfavorable. The research method is quantitative by testing t partial using SPSS 28 software. The results of the t test show that partially, market timing ability and inflation rate have no effect on asset allocation and mutual fund performance, while asset allocation has a negative effect on mutual fund performance.

Radiative impact of improved global parameterisations of oceanic dry deposition of ozone and lightning-generated NOx
Authors: Luhar Ashok K. , Galbally Ian E. , Woodhouse Matthew T.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. We investigated the radiative impact of recent process-based improvements to oceanic ozone (O3) dry deposition parameterisation and empirical improvements to lightning-generated oxides of nitrogen (LNOx) parameterisation by conducting a 5-year simulation of the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator – United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosol (ACCESS-UKCA) global chemistry–climate model, with radiative effects of O3, methane (CH4) and aerosol included. Compared to the base parameterisations, the global consequences of the two
improved parameterisations on atmospheric composition are dominated by the
LNOx change (which increases the LNOx production from 4.8 to 6.9 Tg N yr−1) and include (a) an increase in the O3 column of 3.75 DU, and this O3 change is centred on the tropical upper troposphere where O3 is most effective as a radiative forcer; (b) a decrease of 0.64 years in the atmospheric lifetime of CH4 due to an increase in hydroxyl radical, which corresponds to a decrease of 0.31 years in the CH4 lifetime per Tg N yr−1 change in LNOx; (c) an increase of 6.7 % in the column integrated condensation nuclei concentration; and (d) a slight increase in high-level cloud cover. The two combined parameterisation changes cause an increase of 86.3 mW m−2 in the globally-averaged all-sky net downward top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiative flux (which is akin to instantaneous radiative forcing), and only 5 % of which is due to the dry deposition parameterisation change. Other global radiative changes from the use of the two parameterisations together include an increase in the downward longwave radiation and a decrease in the downward shortwave radiation at the earth's surface. The indirect effect of LNOx on aerosol and cloud cover can at least partly explain the differences in the downward shortwave flux at the surface. It is demonstrated that although the total global LNOx production may be the same, how LNOx is distributed spatially makes a difference to radiative transfer. We estimate that for a reported uncertainty range of 5±3 Tg N yr−1 in global estimates of LNOx, the uncertainty in the net
downward TOA radiation is ±119 mW m−2. The corresponding
uncertainly in the atmospheric methane lifetime is ±0.92 years. Thus,
the value of LNOx used within a model will influence the effective radiative forcing (ERF) and global warming potential (GWP) of anthropogenic CH4, and influence the results of climate scenario modelling.

Published: October 2022

The Atmosphere and Ocean non-tidal De-aliasing Level-1B (AOD1B) product is widely used in satellite gravimetry to correct for transient effects of atmosphere-ocean mass variability that would otherwise alias into monthly-mean global gravity fields. The most recent release is based on the global ERA5 reanalysis and ECMWF operational data together with simulations from the general ocean circulation model MPIOM consistently forced with fields of the same atmospheric data-set.

The talk focusses on the current status of the new release RL07. We present the changes made for RL07 with respect to the previous release RL06, the current status of the processing as well as the ongoing work in terms of consistency and uncertainty assessment.

The combined GRACE & GRACE-FO data records now span over 20 years and provide unique observations of monthly to decadal global mass changes and transport in the Earth system derived from temporal variations in the Earth’s gravity field. These observations have become indispensable for climate-related studies that enable process understanding of the evolving global water cycle, including ocean dynamics, polar ice mass changes, and near-surface and global ground water changes.

In this presentation, the project team will provide the community and science team an overview and summary updates on (1) some recent science and applications highlights, (2) key data processing and calibration campaigns and results since 2021, with a particular focus on the accelerometer data, and (3) the mission plan to operate and collect high-quality science data through the intensifying solar cycle 25, aiming for continuity with future mass change missions. More detailed presentations on each topic will follow this talk, and there will be an open forum for feedback and discussions on the status, findings, and proposed plans.
Differential response of plant transpiration to uptake of rainwater-recharged soil water for dominant tree species in the semiarid Loess Plateau
Authors: Tang Yakun , Wang Lina , Yu Yongqiang , Lu Dongxu
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Establishing whether uptake of rainwater-recharged soil water (RRS) can increase plant transpiration in response to rainfall pulses requires an investigation to evaluate plant adaptability, especially in water-limited regions where rainwater is the only replenishable soil water source. In this study, the
water sources from RRS and three soil layers, the predawn leaf water potential (Ψpd), the midday leaf water potential (Ψm), the gradient of leaf water potential (Ψpd−Ψm), and the plant transpiration in response to rainfall pulses were analyzed for two dominant tree species, Hippophae rhamnoides subsp. sinensis and Populus tomentosa, in pure and mixed plantations during the growing period (June–September). Mixed afforestation significantly enhanced Ψpd−Ψm, RRS uptake proportion (RUP), and the relative response of daily normalized sap flow (SFR) and reduced the water source proportion from the deep soil layer (100–200 cm) for both species (P<0.05). In pure and mixed plantations, the large Ψpd−Ψm was consistent with high SFR
for H. rhamnoides and the small Ψpd−Ψm was consistent with low SFR for P. tomentosa in response to rainfall pulses. Therefore, H. rhamnoides and P. tomentosa exhibited anisohydric and isohydric behavior, respectively, and the former plant species was more sensitive to rainfall pulses than P. tomentosa. Furthermore, in pure plantations, the SFR was significantly affected by RUP and Ψpd−Ψm for H. rhamnoides and significantly influenced by Ψpd−Ψm for P. tomentosa (P<0.05). However, the SFR was significantly influenced by RUP and Ψpd−Ψm for both species in the mixed plantation. These results indicate that mixed afforestation enhanced the influence of RRS uptake on plant transpiration for these different rainfall-pulse-sensitive plants. This study provides insights into suitable plantation species selection and management considering the link between RRS uptake and plant transpiration in water-limited regions.
Improving hydrologic models for predictions and process understanding using neural ODEs
Authors: Höge Marvin , Scheidegger Andreas , Baity-Jesi Marco , Albert Carlo , Fenicia Fabrizio
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Deep learning methods have frequently outperformed conceptual hydrologic models in rainfall-runoff modelling. Attempts of investigating such deep learning models internally are being made, but the traceability of model states and processes and their interrelations to model input and output is not yet fully understood. Direct interpretability of mechanistic processes has always been considered an asset of conceptual models that helps to gain system understanding aside of predictability. We introduce hydrologic neural ordinary differential equation (ODE) models that perform as well as state-of-the-art deep learning methods in stream flow prediction while maintaining the ease of interpretability of conceptual hydrologic models. In neural ODEs, internal processes that are represented in differential equations, are substituted by neural networks. Therefore, neural ODE models enable the fusion of deep learning with mechanistic modelling. We demonstrate the basin-specific predictive performance for 569 catchments of the continental United States. For exemplary basins, we analyse the dynamics of states and processes learned by the model-internal neural networks. Finally, we discuss the potential of neural ODE models in hydrology.
In situ monitoring of used-sand regeneration in foundries by impedance spectroscopy
Authors: Bifano Luca , Weider Marco , Fischerauer Alice , Wolf Gotthard , Fischerauer Gerhard
Published: October 2022

Abstract. This work deals with the impedimetric monitoring of used-sand regeneration in the foundry industry. During the regeneration of used sand, a quartz sand similar to new sand is produced from already used molding and core sand, which especially serves to produce new cores. We explore whether the regeneration progress can be assessed in situ based on measured impedance spectra and their features. The impedances of plate capacitors filled with different typical used-sand mixtures, consisting of quartz sand, coal dust, and bentonite, were repeatedly measured in a frequency range from 500 Hz to 1 MHz. The reproducibility of the measurements proved to be sufficient for practical applications. The mean impedances were plotted in Nyquist diagrams. From these plots, systematic impedance–composition correlations could be determined for two of the three component systems. Conclusions about the regeneration state could be drawn from the impedance curves by introducing various features. These were the median, the mean, and the standard deviation of the frequency-dependent resistance and reactance. With these indicators, it was then possible to establish one-to-one relations between the material composition of the molding materials and the impedance measurement. In field measurements on regenerated used sands, this observation was confirmed, and the regeneration progress was observed on the basis of the impedimetrically determined characteristic data.

Abstract. Arctic rain on snow (ROS) deposits liquid water onto existing snowpacks. Upon refreezing, this can form icy crusts at the surface or within the snowpack. By altering radar backscatter and microwave emissivity, ROS over sea ice can influence the accuracy of sea ice variables retrieved from satellite radar altimetry, scatterometers, and passive microwave radiometers. During the Arctic Ocean MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate) expedition, there was an unprecedented opportunity to observe a ROS event using in situ active and passive microwave instruments similar to those deployed on satellite platforms. During liquid water accumulation in the snowpack from rain and increased melt, there was a 4-fold decrease in radar energy returned at Ku- and Ka-bands. After the snowpack refroze and ice layers formed, this decrease was followed by a 6-fold increase in returned energy. Besides altering the radar backscatter, analysis of the returned waveforms shows the waveform shape changed in response to rain and refreezing. Microwave emissivity at 19 and 89 GHz increased with increasing liquid water content and decreased as the snowpack refroze, yet subsequent ice layers altered the polarization difference. Corresponding analysis of the CryoSat-2 waveform shape and backscatter as well as AMSR2 brightness temperatures further shows that the rain and refreeze were significant enough to impact satellite returns. Our analysis provides the first detailed in situ analysis of the impacts of ROS and subsequent refreezing on both active and passive microwave observations, providing important baseline knowledge for detecting ROS over sea ice and assessing their impacts on satellite-derived sea ice variables.

Numerical simulation of evolution of a convective cloud and precipitation during a thunderstorm event that took place on August 11, 2017 in Beijing (China) against a background of high aerosol air pollution was performed using a numerical nonstationary three-dimensional model. Different microphysical parameters of drops and ice particles which depend on aerosol pollution of the atmosphere, were varied: an autoconversion threshold for cloud droplets and raindrops and parameters of raindrop and hailstone size distribution. It was found for this case that liquid drops do not play a significant role in the convective cloud evolution. The effect of aerosol pollution both on the raindrop size spectrum and on the transition of cloud droplets to raindrops does not influence significantly dynamic, microphysical and electrical properties of the cloud. At the same time, the change in the ice particle spectrum towards the size decrease that happens under the influence of increased aerosol pollution, has a significant impact on the evolution of the cloud and precipitation. The amount of precipitation decreases both within the cloud and on the underlying surface. However, the lightning activity of the cloud changes little

Regional features and possible causal relationships of interannual changes in air temperature, sea surface temperature (SST), and water temperature in the upper 750-m layer with variations in atmospheric pressure, wind, heat fluxes on the ocean surface, and climate indices over the last four decades were determined. It is shown that in different regions of the Philippine Sea air temperature increased by 0.2-0.5°C and SST rose by 0.6-0.8°C. In several layers of the water column, there are multidirectional trends in water temperature. In winter, in the area of the Kuroshio energetically active zone of the ocean (EAZO), both maximum fluxes and trends in sensible and latent heat from the ocean to the atmosphere were recorded. The variations in air temperature and SST have stable correlations with variations in the zonal and meridional components of wind speed and climate indices.

The recent studies relevant to cold winter atmospheric anomalies in the Northern Hemisphere are briefly reviewed, and causes for their development and possible connections with the Arctic amplification of warming are discussed. An expected frequency of occurrence of anomalous air temperature and precipitation patterns is evaluated over Northern Eurasia in the 21st century under conditions of anthropogenic growth in the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration. The evaluation was carried out using a multi-model ensemble consisting of nine CMIP6 climate models with two scenarios of greenhouse gas forcing. The analysis revealed that warm and wet winters with frequent 0°С crossing would be more frequent in Russia by the middle of the 21st century. Unfavorable conditions may result from more frequent summer hot and dry patterns in the regions of advanced farming and increased wildfires in the European part of Russia and Western Siberia. The most negative consequences of climate change may be associated with an implementation of the rough SSP5-8.5 forcing scenario at the end of the 21st century.

Changes in the frequency and intensity of atmospheric severe convective events, including heavy rainfall, thunderstorm, hailstorm, squall, and tornado, in the Russian regions during the warm season are analyzed using different independent sources of information. Based on observations at Russian weather stations in 1966-2020, the frequency of thunderstorm, hailstorm, and strong wind, the contribution of extreme showers to total precipitation, and the cumulonimbus cloud fraction are estimated. Based on satellite data, the frequency and intensity of tornado and squall events that caused windthrows for 1986-2021 and the height of the top of deep convective clouds for 2002-2021 are also evaluated. The ERA5 reanalysis data are used to analyze the frequency of conditions favorable for the development of moderate and intense severe convective events in 1979-2020. The results indicate a general intensification of severe convective events in most Russian regions, except for a number of regions in the south of the European part of Russia. The frequency of moderate hazards has a decreasing trend, and the frequency of the most intense severe hazards has an increasing trend. It is reasonable to take the results into account when developing plans for the adaptation of Russian regions and industries to climate change.

Niedzielna Eucharystia, jej znaczenie w historii i we wspólnocie Kościoła
Authors: Wasielewski Ks. Rafał
Published: October 2022

The article presents the sacrament of the Eucharist in the perspective of Sunday, because this sacrament is the source of the whole Christian life, and the Church lives thanks to the Eucharist (Ecclesia de Eucharistia vivit). It presents an overview of the major changes in the liturgy and the theology of the Holy Mass on Sunday, as well as the value of Sunday for the People of God. The liturgy, especially the Sunday liturgy, is not a theological treatise or a scientific lecture, but a celebration of the mystery of Christ, that is, the action of God himself together with the gathered People of God. It is an authentic confession of faith and a sign of belonging to the Church of God and union with him. The faithful, when they do not understand the spirit and meaning of the rites, withdraw, sometimes looking for other forms of religiosity. Therefore, there is a need to encourage, educate and prepare them for a fuller participation in the Sunday liturgy, which is, after all, of fundamental importance for the life of the Church and its individual members. It is the liturgy that effectively creates communion and educates to communion. The liturgy, especially the Sunday liturgy, lived in the full communion of the Church, reveals the entire mystery of Christ, from the Incarnation and Nativity to the Ascension and Pentecost, and the expectation of the blessed hope and coming of Christ. It is the realization of God’s plan of salvation and the continuation of the history of salvation to which all are called.
Հայերի և էստոնացիների մտածելակերպի որոշ տեսանկյունների մասին/On Some Aspects of the Mentalities of Armenians and Estonians
Authors: HEIDMETS Mati , Mkhitaryan Samvel
Published: October 2022

The paper presents the results of many years of observations and discussions of two authors about the mentality - the peculiarities of thinking and behavior of Estonians and Armenians. From the point of view of the authors, there are at least three spheres of life where differences in mentality between Armenians and Estonians are tangible and visible. This is a) life with family, relatives and friends, b) attitude towards the society, state, authorities and the rule of law, c) as well as the style of interpersonal communication between people. According to our observations, for Armenians, the community and interrelations of family members, relatives and friends is central to everyday life, offering help and support, expecting the same from all its members. Estonians, on the other hand, are more “emancipated” and distant from their close ones, mostly trying to be independent, take personal responsibility and solve their own problems on their оwn, at the same time, not bother themselves with “other” joys, worries and problems. Despite the discussed differences and their impact on different social and economic aspects of a live of our countries, our long-term experience of communication shows that they are not an obstacle for the friendship of people of different nationalities, but often, just the opposite. They make communication more interesting and friendship stronger. At every meeting there is something to discover, something to share, something to be surprised at and something to enjoy.

The management and modernization of the educational process are the main priorities of the state policy. The training of qualified personnel is the only solution to overcome the problems facing the society and to form a more or less realistic vision of the future. The younger generation studying today at schools and universities will take over the rule of the country tomorrow. Therefore, today, the issues of education, the practical application of knowledge and its subsequent transition are extremely essential. In this regard, the competent organization of the entire process of education must fully meet the requirements of the time. Unfortunately, today we are facing the problem of superficial and even illiterate attitude towards the entire process of education. This perception is fraught with serious consequences today and especially in a couple of decades, when today's young generation will play a key role in the management of the state in all spheres of human activity. In order to fix the problem, in particular, the advanced education methodology, that meets the requirements of management in modern complex world, should be applied.

Introduction: The shortage of medical specialists and the lack of motivation for work and professional development/carrier among healthcare workers due to different reasons, such as low level of salary, burnout, stress, deteriorated working conditions, etc., threaten the effective functioning of the healthcare system in Bulgaria. Human resources in the healthcare sector are a key prerequisite for improving the health status of citizens. Aim: The article aims to outline guidelines and to indicate the gaps in the implemented policies and measures for retention and development of medical specialists in Bulgaria. Material and methods: The empirical analysis is based on an author’s survey conducted through online platform www.survey.bg in the period February-April 2022 among 344 Bulgarian healthcare professionals. The results of the survey were processed with Microsoft Excel, v.16.55. Results: The insufficient remuneration, the difficulties for professional and career development like the lack of specialization opportunities, the overload, the burnout, and the stress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, complicates and causes to test the medical specialists who, despite the difficulties, prefer to live and work in the national health sector. Moreover, the aging of medical specialists in the country (60% of physicians are older than 50 years and 30% of practicing nurses are 61+) and physicians deficit in different specialties like neonatology, infectious diseases, and pediatrics significantly complicate the provision of healthcare services to the population. Conclusion: The study shows the attitudes of respondents regarding the Bulgarian healthcare system and points out the shortcomings related to the professional development of healthcare workers. In order to improve working conditions and increase the motivation and satisfaction of medical specialists, the government should urgently implement long-term policies for their retention, sustainability and development.

Background: Glomus Tumors (GTs) usually occur in young women, most frequently under the nail. Combined with the relevant medical history and unique signs, a preliminary diagnosis can be made, with confirmation by pathological examination. A few cases are seen outside the nail, generally located in the fingers, toes, and beyond the hands and feet, but these are rare. Extra-nail GT is often misdiagnosed and mistreated because of atypical symptoms or “pain point migration.” Simultaneously, GT often relapses within a short period due to partial resection, which causes great pain and is a serious economic burden to patients. Case presentation: Here in, we report a painful subcutaneous mass on the knee of an elderly man, 63 years old, Han nationality. It was resected 10 years prior and recurred more than 8 years after the operation. The pain was very difficult for the patient to endure. Thus, surgical resection was performed, and the scope of resection was expanded during the operation. There was no recurrence at the 3-year follow-up. Accordingly, we propose a new view on the scope of surgical resection. Conclusion: Generally, GTs should be considered first for local pain in the non-subnail region with constant location, particularly severe pain with tenderness on compression. Complete resection is the key to reducing recurrence. Since the recurrence period can be several years, thorough long-term follow-up should be implemented post-resection.

Geoffrey Chaucer, Cecily Chaumpaigne, and the Statute of Laborers: New Records and Old Evidence Reconsidered
Authors: Roger Euan , Sobecki Sebastian
Published: October 2022

This article introduces two records that clarify the relationship between Geoffrey Chaucer and Cecily Chaumpaigne. The new documents also demonstrate the relevance of a known Chaucer life-record that previously had not been associated with this case. Our findings offer a radically different understanding of the documentary evidence and establish that Chaucer and Chaumpaigne were not opponents but belonged to the same party in a legal dispute with Chaumpaigne’s former employer, Thomas Staundon, who had sued them both under the Statute of Laborers. Chaumpaigne’s quitclaims for Chaucer offered the most expedient legal path under the Statute of Laborers for both Chaucer and Chaumpaigne to demonstrate that she had left her employment with Staundon voluntarily, as opposed to being coerced or abducted (raptus), before commencing work for Chaucer.

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى إجراء فحص السمّية الحادة في ذكور الفئران لكل من الكادميوم ونماذج من المبيدات الحشرية الفسفورية العضوية والكارباميتية المثبطة لإنزيم الكولين إستيريز، وتداخلها مع الكادميوم في مستويات الجُرع المميتة الوسطية خلال 24 ساعة (الجم-50 LD50)، وتحليل الآيزوبولوغرام (Isobologram Analysis)، ومؤشر التداخل السمّي (Toxicity Index). بلغت الجم-50 للكادميوم في الفئران 8.6 ملغم/كغم (mg/kg) من وزن الجسم بالحقن في الخلب، وأظهرت الفئران المعاملة بالكادميوم علامات التمطّي مع صعوبة الحركة والمشي. وبلغت الجم-50 لكل من المبيدات الحشرية الفسفورية العضوية دايكلورفوس وديازينون وكوموفوس وكلوربايريفوس عن طريق التجريع الفموي "التزقيم" (Gavage) 81.6 و157.6 و192.4 و437.1 ملغم/كغم من وزن الجسم، على التوالي، في حين بلغت الجم-50 لمبيدَي الكارباميت كارباريل وميثوميل عن طريق الفم 940.2 و177.5 ملغم/كغم من وزن الجسم، على التوالي. وأظهرت الفئران المتسممة بهذه المبيدات علامات الإلعاب والتدمع وانتصاب الشعر والذيل والتمدد على أرضية القفص والتحزم العضلي (Muscle Fasciculation) والرجفة والاختلاج العصبي وصعوبة التنفس، ومن ثم الموت خلال 24 ساعة من التجريع. وعند حقن الكادميوم في الخلب قبل المبيدات الحشرية بنصف ساعة، انخفضت قيم الجم-50 (زيادة السمّية) لكل من الكادميوم (51.4 - 74%) والمبيدات الحشرية (48.3 - 86.8%) مقارنة بقيمها بعد إعطائها لوحدها في الفئران. وقد بيّن تحليل الآيزوبولوغرام للتداخل السمّي بين الكادميوم والمبيدات الحشرية أن نوع التداخل كان تآزريًا (Synergistic)، ودلّ مؤشر التداخل بين الكادميوم والمبيدات الحشرية جميعها على أن التداخل كان تآزريًا أيضًا لكون قيمه أقل من واحد. وتشير هذه النتائج إلى احتمالية حصول تداخل سمّي بين الكادميوم مع المبيدات الحشرية الفسفورية العضوية والكارباميتية، إذْ سبّب إعطاء هذه المركبات في الفئران بجرع سامة وحادة تداخلًا سمّيًا حادًا من النوع التآزري الذي تم الكشف عنه وفق تجارب الجرع المميتة الوسطية وتحليل الآيزوبولوغرام ومؤشر التداخل السمّي.
