A General Conflagration
Authors: Tortora Daniel J.
Published: April 2023

This chapter describes how ongoing tensions between the British and the French, as well as the internal tensions between the colonies of Virginia and South Carolina, would lead to the souring of their alliances with the Indians. Despite the construction of Fort Loudoun in the Cherokee Overhills, Cherokee frustration with the trade, regulated and based out of South Carolina, was building, especially in Great Tellico and Chota. Circumstances had not yet pushed the Cherokees to break with the English, but constantly being misunderstood and mistreated caused their resentment and frustration to slowly build. Indian anger simmered as the war between France and England escalated. The American Southeast inched closer to open war.
Till Satisfaction Shou’d Be Given
Authors: Tortora Daniel J.
Published: April 2023

This chapter details the rising tensions between the Indians and South Carolina, creating a widening rift within the Anglo-Cherokee alliance. Cherokees launched small-scale operations and threats in order to fulfill Cherokee blood law—a move that Governor Lyttelton would decry as acts of murder rather than acts of honor. The Cherokees also pressured the British to mend the Anglo-Cherokee relationship, but British officials did not take into account Cherokee culture and circumstances. Rather than work to mend the broken relationship between Cherokees and colony, Lyttelton exacerbated Anglo-Cherokee tensions. The issue worsened with the possibility of slave revolt, as the British found themselves increasingly distracted by the Cherokee situation.
Destroying Their Towns, and Cutting Up Their Settlements
Authors: Tortora Daniel J.
Published: April 2023

This chapter chronicles the British response to the more recent Cherokee campaigns, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel James Grant. Grant was ordered to take the offensive, destroying their Towns and cutting up their Settlements. With the French threat seemingly neutralized in North America, incapacitating the Cherokees—and punishing them for their success in 1760 with a harsh and formal peace—remained a key goal for South Carolina. To bring this about, Grant unleashed wanton destruction. Cherokees ran out of options other than to accept a formal declaration of peace. For the Cherokee Indians, survival depended upon making peace on British terms.
The Turbulent Spirit of Gadsden
Authors: Tortora Daniel J.
Published: April 2023

This chapter describes the worsening conditions of the Cherokee Indians even in the aftermath of a peace treaty between themselves and the British. The effects of war, disease, and starvation were palpable among the devastated Indian territories; now they were pressed from all sides by rival clans if not by settlers and coastal elites who frowned upon British authority and—by extension—the royal mandates that made encroachment into Cherokee lands illegal. In desperation, Cherokee leaders suspended blood laws and actively discouraged further militant activities among themselves, believing that peaceful coexistence could ensure their people's survival more than any other. In the end, the British had indeed sided with the Indians, but the settlers and coastal elites were another matter entirely.
End-Times Prophecy for Dummies
Authors: Smith Erin A.
Published: April 2023

This chapter examines how readers engaged with Hal Lindsey's The Late Great Planet Earth and the debates surrounding it. The Late Great Planet Earth was explicitly marketed to two distinct audiences—evangelical and trade—in two distinct packages. Zondervan sold it alongside other books on Bible prophecy in Christian bookstores, while Bantam issued an edition with a New Age/science fiction cover to capture the attention of secular readers in trade bookstores. Drawing on reviews on Amazon and other accounts from readers, the chapter considers the notion that the politics of The Late Great Planet Earth can be deduced from the words on the page. It suggests that readers who encountered The Late Great Planet Earth through the lens of millennial anxieties about the nuclear arms race and environmental degradation also read for personal reasons.
Brahms and Bombs on the Atomic Frontier
Authors: Freeman Lindsey A.
Published: April 2023

This chapter discusses two interlocking tropes that are primarily used to describe the city’s early construction and design: the frontier and the utopia. The frontier trope refers to the Oak Ridgers’ use of narratives as the latest version of a national pioneering tradition to create a “symbolic continuity” with the traditional American pioneer myth. Meanwhile, the utopian trope refers to the notion of Oak Ridge as the capital of a new Atomic Appalachia, a place fulfilling its atomic manifest destiny as predicted by John Hendrix. The two imaginations do not compete so much as nestle alongside and within each other. They are also not unique to the former secrets of the atomic city of Oak Ridge as well as the characteristics of other regional and national myths.
Happy Memories under the Mushroom Cloud
Authors: Freeman Lindsey A.
Published: April 2023

This chapter discusses the day-long celebration of the new visibility of the formerly secret Atomic City, held on March 19, 1949. The event staged the symbolic opening of the gates and the festive parade but particular focus was given to the opening of the world’s first museum of atomic energy. The inauguration of the American Museum of Atomic Energy was carefully planned to coincide directly with the opening of the town; in fact, only two hours separated their respective public introductions. The timing was intended to solidify a particular version of the events leading up to and following the end of World War II. Moreover, the museum’s trajectory mirrored the arc of the city itself, and to some degree the national narrative as well.
Longing for the Bomb
Authors: Freeman Lindsey A.
Published: April 2023

This concluding chapter addresses the longing of residents of Oak Ridge for the days when the city was a muddy frontier at the beginning of the Atomic Age. Such a longing was shaped by positive memories of working for a secret atomic bomb project, but it was also colored with nostalgia for an imagined golden age of mid-twentieth-century America. In addition, this sentiment not only describes an opinion about the past; it also betrays a vision of contemporary America as a nation divided and in decline; a nation that has lost, or is in the act of losing, its purpose and character.

Abstract. The city of Lhasa is located in the central Tibetan Plateau and is the most densely
populated area. As the first continuous monitoring of atmospheric mercury
(Hg) species in a city in the Tibetan Plateau, our monitoring in Lhasa
showed that the concentrations of gaseous elemental Hg (GEM), gaseous
oxidized Hg (GOM), and particle-bound Hg (PBM) during the subsequent Indian summer monsoon (S-ISM) period were 2.73 ± 1.48 ng m−3,
38.4 ± 62.7 pg m−3, and 59.1 ± 181.0 pg m−3,
respectively. During the westerly circulation (WEC) period, the GEM, GOM, and
PBM concentrations were 2.11 ± 2.09 ng m−3, 35.8 ± 43.3 pg m−3, and 52.9 ± 90.1 pg m−3, respectively. The GOM and PBM
concentrations were higher than those of previous monitoring in the Tibetan
Plateau and other provincial capitals in China. Typical high-value
occurrence processes were studied to investigate random events with high
atmospheric Hg concentrations in Lhasa. Combustion events nearby or further
away may be the main contributor of the high-concentration events. The
lowest GEM concentrations occurred in the afternoon, and persistently high
concentrations were observed at night. The changes in GEM concentrations
were consistent with the trends of other pollutant concentrations and
contradictory to those of the wind speed. The high GEM concentrations at
night can be attributed to the lower boundary layer height and lower wind
speed. For both GOM and PBM, higher GOM concentrations occurred during the
day and PBM during the night. The results of the principal component
analysis indicated that local sources and wind speed are important factors
influencing atmospheric Hg concentrations in Lhasa. The trajectory
simulation showed that the source of the GEM in Lhasa gradually shifted from
the south to the west of Lhasa from the S-ISM to the WEC periods, while both
the southern and western sources were important in the late WEC period. The
concentrations and change patterns of Hg species in Lhasa were significantly
different than those at other monitoring sites in the Tibetan Plateau.
Monitoring Hg species in Lhasa shows the possible maximum anthropogenic
influences in the Tibetan Plateau and demonstrates the dramatic effect of
wind on changes in urban atmospheric Hg concentrations.

Abstract. Climatic changes in southern Europe during the Holocene are characterised by a strong spatial and temporal heterogeneity whose patterns are still poorly understood, notably the presence or not of a Holocene thermal maximum (HTM; 10,000–6,000 cal. BP). The reconstructed climatic patterns also differ according to the proxies used (e.g., pollen, chironomid) and the latitude of the data. Here, a multi-proxy approach combining pollen and lipid biomarkers (branched Glycerol Dialkyl Glycerol Tetraethers, brGDGTs) is applied to the Canroute sedimentological sequence to reconstruct the climatic variation over the last 15,000 years in southern Massif Central, France. This area is poorly documented in terms of vegetation and climate. To provide reliable climate reconstructions, we have (1) performed a multi-method comparison based on transfer functions applied to pollen (MAT, WA-PLS, BRT) and molecular biomarkers (brGDGTs), (2) investigated the role of modern databases/calibrations in climate reconstructions. Three different calibration databases were tested for pollen data: one global based on a Eurasian Pollen Database, and two regional databases corresponding to Mediterranean/Temperate Europe and Temperate Europe/Scandinavian databases respectively. Nine global calibrations were tested for lipid biomarkers including eight for soil and one for peat. The use of different modern databases highlights the importance of considering environmental and ecological constraints when using transfer functions on pollen sequences. Pollen and brGDGT-inferred climate trends are consistent, notably for the Lateglacial, the Early and Late Holocene. However, the reconstructions notably differ concerning the presence of a Holocene thermal maximum with the Modern Analogue Technique (MAT) pollen-based method but not apparent with the BRT pollen method nor brGDGT. The temperature reconstructions estimated from the two independent pollen and lipid proxies are then compared to regional published climate signals (chironomids, pollen, molecular biomarkers) to better derive global regional climatic patterns in South Europe. Altogether, our results from the Canroute sequence and those already available in southern Europe reveal that for the Lateglacial and Early Holocene, the regional climate trends are coherent between sites and proxies, supporting the reliability of their reconstructions despite some discrepancies. During the Holocene, the temperature signal of Canroute does not indicate the clear presence of a pronounced mid-Holocene thermal maximum, but rather stable and warmer temperature compared to Lateglacial ones and overall negative anomalies compared to modern annual temperatures.
The weather diaries of the Kirch family: Leipzig, Guben, and Berlin, 1677–1774
Authors: Brönnimann Stefan , Brugnara Yuri
Published: April 2023

Abstract. Astronomer and calendar maker Gottfried Kirch was a keen weather observer and made weather notes in his diary starting in 1677 in Leipzig. In parallel, his second wife Maria Margaretha Winkelmann started a weather diary in 1700 in Berlin. The diaries also contain instrumental measurements of temperature and later pressure. After the death of Gottfried in 1710 and Maria Margaretha in 1720, observations were continued by their son Christfried and then for another 44 years by their daughter Christine. The last measurements date to 1774. Together, the diaries span almost a century of weather observations. The instrumental measurements constitute the oldest part of Germany’s longest temperature series, which was however only available as monthly means up to now. Here we publish the imaged diaries, together amounting to 10445 images. Further, we present the digitised instrumental series, which will serve as the starting point for a new, daily Berlin series. By comparing the series to neighbouring records, we show that the pressure data are reliable in a quantitative sense, whereas this is true for the temperature data only in a qualitative sense as the temperature scale was not converted.
Assessing Arctic low-level clouds and precipitation from above – a radar perspective
Authors: Schirmacher Imke , Kollias Pavlos , Lamer Katia , Mech Mario , Pfitzenmaier Lukas , Wendisch Manfred , Crewell Susanne
Published: April 2023

Abstract. Most Arctic clouds occur below 2 km altitude as revealed by CloudSat satellite observations. However, recent studies suggest that the relatively coarse spatial resolution, low sensitivity, and blind zone of the radar installed on CloudSat may not enable it to comprehensively document low-level clouds. We investigate the impact of these limitations on the Arctic low- level cloud fraction, which is the amount of cloudy points with respect to all points as a function of height, derived from CloudSat radar observations. For this purpose, we leverage highly resolved vertical profiles of low-level cloud fraction derived from downlooking Microwave Radar/radiometer for Arctic Clouds (MiRAC) radar reflectivity measurements. MiRAC has been operated during four aircraft campaigns taking place in the vicinity of Svalbard during different times of the year and covering more than 25,000 km. This allows us to study the dependence of CloudSat limitations on different synoptic and surface conditions. A forward simulator converts MiRAC measurements to synthetic CloudSat radar reflectivities. These forward simulations are compared with the original CloudSat observations for four satellite underflights to prove the suitability of our forward- simulation approach. Above CloudSat’s blind zone of 1 km and below 2.5 km, the forward simulations reveal that CloudSat would overestimate the MiRAC cloud fraction over all campaigns by about 6 percent points (pp) due to its horizontal resolution, by 12 pp due to its range resolution, and underestimate it by 10 pp due to its sensitivity. Especially during cold air outbreaks over open water, high reflectivity clouds appear below 1.5 km, which are stretched by CloudSat’s pulse length causing the forward-simulated cloud fraction to be 16 pp higher than that observed by MiRAC. The pulse length merges multilayer clouds, whereas thin low-reflectivity clouds remain undetected. Consequently, 48 % of clouds observed by MiRAC belong to multilayer clouds, which reduces by a factor of 4 for the forward-simulated CloudSat counterpart. Despite the overestimation between 1 and 2.5 km, the overall low-level cloud fraction is strongly reduced due to CloudSat’s blind zone that misses a cloud fraction of 32 % and half of the total (mainly light) precipitation amount.

Abstract. The climate science community aims to improve our understanding of climate change due to anthropogenic influences on atmospheric composition and the Earth's surface. Yet not all climate interactions are fully understood and diversity in climate model experiments persists as assessed in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment report. This article synthesizes current challenges and emphasizes opportunities for advancing our understanding of climate change and model diversity. The perspective of this article is based on expert views from three multi-model intercomparison projects (MIPs) – the Precipitation Driver Response MIP (PDRMIP), the Aerosol and Chemistry MIP (AerChemMIP), and the Radiative Forcing MIP (RFMIP). While there are many shared interests and specialisms across the MIPs, they have their own scientific foci and specific approaches. The partial overlap between the MIPs proved useful for advancing the understanding of the perturbation-response paradigm through multi-model ensembles of Earth System Models of varying complexity. It specifically facilitated contributions to the research field through sharing knowledge on best practices for the design of model diagnostics and experimental strategies across MIP boundaries, e.g., for estimating effective radiative forcing. We discuss the challenges of gaining insights from highly complex models that have specific biases and provide guidance from our lessons learned. Promising ideas to overcome some long-standing challenges in the near future are kilometer-scale experiments to better simulate circulation-dependent processes where it is possible, and machine learning approaches for faster and better sub-grid scale parameterizations where they are needed. Both would improve our ability to adopt a smart experimental design with an optimal tradeoff between resolution, complexity and simulation length. Future experiments can be evaluated and improved with sophisticated methods that leverage multiple observational datasets, and thereby, help to advance the understanding of climate change and its impacts.
Performance and Harmonic Evaluation of a Modified Sinewave 1kVA Solar Powered Inverter
Authors: O. S. Adeoye , A. J. Ojo , M Ogunlowo
Published: April 2023

An inverter is a device that takes a direct current input and produces a sinusoidal alternating current output. It maintains a continuous supply of electric power to connected equipment or load by supplying power from a separate source, like battery, when utility power is not available. It is inserted between the source of power and the load is protecting. This paper evaluates and analyses the harmonic characteristics of a 1kVA solar powered inverter under different load conditions. The performance of inverter is affected by the presence of harmonics which is generated from non-linear loads as used in PV systems (i.e inverter) which in turn consequently affects the inverter output voltage and waveform. The methods used comprises of 12V, 250W solar panel connected to a 30A pulse width modulation (PWM) charge controller and a 12V, 100Ah deep cycle battery was connected to the controller to enable charging of the battery while a 1kVA, 220V inverter was connected to the battery to produce the AC output needed. The performance of the inverter was evaluated and analyzed from the load test results and harmonic characteristics occurring in the inverter output voltages and waveforms were obtained using DENT Power meter. The parameters were taken at an interval of minutes and it was observed that the nonlinear loads have more harmonics injection effects on the output waveforms of the inverter. The paper recommends on best practices and further research to identify harmonic constraints in PV inverters, and on the application of mitigation techniques that lead to more PV penetration without sacrificing the safety and reliability of the distribution networks.

Published: April 2023

Safety is the most important parameter while developing a modern vehicle. A vehicle capable of high acceleration must decelerate quickly as well. Disc brakes are used in modern vehicles to reduce stopping distance. On application of brakes, the disc is subjected to thermal and structural stresses. The brakes fail to slow down or stop the vehicle if they become too hot. In this study, we attempt to understand the existing disc brake rotors in use in the automobile industry and improve on their design in order to enhance heat dissipation. The currently used disc brakes are studied to understand their design. This knowledge is further used to design a useful disc brake. The aim of this paper is to improve heat transfer rate by designing disc rotors and selecting suitable material.
Social Responsibility with Ethical Leadership - Redefined by Women Entrepreneurs
Authors: Kaur Mandeep , Miglani Kirti
Published: April 2023

A company at all times seeks out to create the optimal value in all its relationships. One such relationship of the organization is with its planet. Society’s expectations of companies have always been changing. So companies have to come out with good ethical leadership not to just earn profits but also to save their planet. Social responsibility with ethical leadership also helps companies to win society’s confidence along with a good public image. The environment is being hurt so badly by various activities of human beings that it is becoming difficult for human beings to survive on this planet. One such activity is the use of single-use plastic which pollutes the environment. The screaming voice of the environment has been heard by women who were working with IBM. They redefined social responsibility with ethical leadership by coming out with a start-up to manufacture edible cutlery. To protect the environment these women came out with such a process of manufacturing that is environment-friendly, bio-degradable, and no plastic. Women entrepreneurs who wanted to fulfill their responsibility towards society are earning not only profits from this startup but also contributing to protecting its environment. In this journey of success, they are also contributing towards Swatch Bharath Abhiyan. In this context, a case study has been developed.

Published: April 2023

Higher education is passing through a process of conceptual and organizational transformation, promoting a new paradigm of academic education, able to respond to the needs of a dynamic society that is in continuous reformation. Arguments for the need for a strategic approach to the problem of abandoning university studies are also outlined from the perspective of the desired, imperatives and recommendations for higher education existing in the agendas and official documents of the European Union. University dropping is not a new problem, over time multiple researches have been carried out to identify and prevent school failure. With the passage of time and the appearance of new factors that contribute to this negative phenomenon among young people - the change in the educational-informative and formative vision, equal opportunities regarding education, the psycho-pedagogical support offered in universities - is necessary to involve all the factors that contribute to education university for stopping and possibly eradicating this phenomenon. Starting from the variety of reasons behind the decision to abandon studies, we can consider that reducing the dropout rate depends on a series of factors located at different institutional levels, government, universities, faculties, departments, but also at the level of teaching staff. In the present research, carried out within the State University of Physical Education and Sports (SUPES), we aimed to identify the extent to which the phenomenon of university dropout manifests itself at SUPES, the factors that cause it and to formulate strategies to prevent and decrease student dropout.

Published: April 2023

The social evolution, accompanied by the technological one, outlines a modern development of the new human type, therefore the discipline of physical education must offer students the opportunity to train, participating in a wide variety of physical activities that balance the study periods of the other disciplines in the education plan. At the same time, we can affirm that physical education (both as a curricular field and as an extracurricular activity) must become the main means of capitalizing on free time. The importance of practicing physical activities during free time is one of the main concerns of the specialists in our field, who state that physical education, through its specific means, constitutes a form of improving students, having considerable influences from an instructive-educational point of view, but also being the main means of developing the physical condition so necessary at this age. In the present research, carried out within the State University of Physical Education and Sport, we aimed to analyze the extracurricular activities in the field of physical culture and identify their main directions, the profile of the beneficiaries, the profile of the teachers/coaches who provide this type of activities, the forms and methods of realization, as well as the common aspects and differences attested in the activity of extracurricular service providers in the field of physical culture.

Introduction: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. In Brazil, its incidence has increased, along with the lack of penicillin, the antibiotic of choice for congenital syphilis, from 2014 to 2017. During this period, children were treated with alternative drugs, but to date, data from the scientific literature do not recommend another antibiotic. Objective: To compare the progression, according to the established treatment, and evaluate the follow-up in health care facilities in Vila Velha (Espírito Santo) of children with congenital syphilis aged up to two years, born in Hospital Infantil e Maternidade Alzir Bernardino Alves — a reference in neonatology and low-risk pregnancy in the state at the time — from 2015 to 2016, when the hospital experienced a greater lack of penicillin. Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional observational study based on data from medical records of the hospital and other healthcare facilities in the city. We performed statistical analyses, per health district, of epidemiological and sociodemographic data, as well as those related to visits, their frequency, and clinical profile, according to the follow-up parameters proposed by the Ministry of Health at the time. Results: Medical records of 121 children were evaluated, presenting as the main findings: only 35% of the children completed the follow-up; among those treated with ceftriaxone, 55.2% completed the follow-up, and 100% of the children whose venereal disease research laboratory was greater than that of their mother at birth completed the follow-up. Of the symptomatic children at birth who remained or became symptomatic at follow-up, 58.8% used ceftriaxone. Conclusion: Among symptomatic children at birth, most of those treated with ceftriaxone remained symptomatic at follow-up. The Counseling and Testing Center was the most successful facility in the follow-up of these children. District 5 had the lowest success rate in the follow-up of these patients, and districts 1 and 2 showed the lowest rates of appropriate approach to congenital syphilis during follow-up.

Si bien una dieta alta en energía y baja en fibra puede aumentar el riesgo de una persona de desarrollar cáncer, algunos alimentos individuales también se han señalado como potencialmente causantes de cáncer (cancerígenos). Los alimentos que comemos pueden afectar nuestro riesgo de desarrollar ciertos tipos de cáncer. El presente estudio evaluó los alimentos y su relación con el desarrollo de cáncer oral. Las dietas ricas en energía y grasas pueden conducir a la obesidad y, en general, se cree que aumentan el riesgo de algunos tipos de cáncer. existe una posible evidencia de que una dieta rica en frutas y verduras y pobre en carnes y productos de origen animal tiene un papel favorable contra el cáncer bucal. Esto está en consonancia con la información de algunos estudios que analizaron el impacto general de la dieta en relación con esta enfermedad.

Background: The triple-negative tumor is a high-risk tumor as a targeted therapy to these proteins is not possible with this type of cancer. Objective: To investigate the prognostic factors that can help in treatment selection in the triple-negative phenotype breast tumors Study design: A cross-sectional study Place and duration: This study was conducted at People's University of Medical and Health Sciences Nawabshah from Nov 2021 to Nov 2022 Methodology: The present study examined numerous cases of invasive carcinoma of the breast. The patients visited for follow-up for a long time and they were examined by tissue microarray. The series was stained through concurrent immune-histochemical prognostic panels. This was done to specify the subgroups of different types of breast cancer and for the identification of prognostic markers as well as the aggressive behavior of the tumors. Results: In the beginning, a total of 280 cases were included in the study, out of which 45 (16.07%) patients had triple-negative breast cancer. Most of these cancers were grade 3 carcinomas. A strong association was seen with pushing margins, development of recurrence, large size, poorer Nottingham Prognostic Index, and distant metastasis. Moreover, the association was also seen with loss of expression of E-cadherin and androgen receptors, basal phenotype, p53, EGFR, and P-cadherin. The size of the tumor, androgen receptors, and lymph node staging were the most valuable prognostic markers. Androgen receptor and size had prognostic significance in the tumor subgroup with lymph node-positive tumors. On the other hand, the basal phenotype was the only prognostic marker in the subgroup with lymph node-negative tumors. Some other parameters considered in the present study are histological grade, size of the tumor, age of the patient, and vascular invasion. Conclusion: The most significant markers identified were basal phenotype and androgen receptor. Also, tumor size and the status of the lymph node are quite significant in low-risk and high-risk patients while selecting surgical or non-surgical treatment for the triple-negative tumors Keywords: Triple-negative, breast tumor, prognostic markers, androgen receptors

Introduction: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a potentially reversible complication of liver cirrhosis causing significant mortality. Hyponatremia in cirrhosis is caused by hampered renal function to eliminate free water that results in water retention disproportionate to sodium retention leading to reduced plasma osmolality and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The purpose of study was to determine the frequency of hyponatremia among patients of liver cirrhosis with hepatic encephalopathy. Methods: The design of this study was an observational study design which was hospital-based survey and was conducted on 130 patients of liver cirrhosis. A specialized questionnaire was designed to collect all the study information. All data was analyzed using SPSS Statistics version 24. Chi-square test and Spearman's rank test were employed to correlate hyponatremia with HE and its severity. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Among the patients, 92 (71%) males and 38 (29%) females; the mean age of the patients was 56±11.3 years. Hyponatremia was present in 48 (36.9%) patients. Among these, 25 (52%) were male and 23 (48%) were female; 12 (25%) patients had mild Hyponatremia, 28(58.3%) had moderate, and 8 (16.6%) had severe Hyponatremia. HE was significantly associated with hyponatremia with p value of lea than 0.001. Practical Implication: The benefit of our study was undertaken to determine the frequency of hyponatremia among patients of liver cirrhosis with hepatic encephalopathy to provide evidence for hyponatremia as a prognostic factor in HE so that early detection and management of hyponatremia in such patients will help reduce disease burden and mortality in liver cirrhosis. Conclusion: Patients with lower levels of sodium had higher grades/severity of HE. Significant association of hyponatremia was seen with liver cirrhosis and encephalopathy.

Background: The orthodontist and patients prefer the usage of mini-screw anchorage due to its feasibility of insertion and removal, which necessitates minimum patient cooperation, and cost-effectiveness. Aim: The aim of the study is to access the mean perception of pain using a visual analogue scale after placing the mini-screws in orthodontic patients. Methods: Using convenient sampling technique, this cross-sectional study was held at Armed Forces Institute of dentistry, Rawalpindi and Shahida Islam Dental College, Lodhran for six-months duration from July 2022 to December 2022. A total of 80 patients took part in the study. On a 10-millimeter visual analogue scale (VAS), where 10 signifies "the severe pain presumable" and 0 signifies "no pain," they were asked to rate their anticipated level of pain Results: A total of 80 patients were selected for this study with the mean age of 21.1± 2.8. The majority of subjects (60%) were female, and the posterior maxilla (48.8%) and posterior mandible (30%) were mostly implanted with mini-screws. Mostly, patients described pain on the 1st day of mini-screws insertion with mean VAS was 4.10± 1.65 and on 7th day; minimum pain was experienced with VAS of 2.9±1.09. There was a significant variation (p ≤0.01) in the VAS score between the sexes, with women exhibiting a higher VAS score (39 ± 52.7) compared to men (35 ± 47.3). Conclusion: Mini screws can more precisely carry out difficult tooth movements than the traditional anchorage used in standard orthodontic treatment. Keywords: Pain, mini-screws placement, mean pain perception and visual analogue scale.
