Perda e Luto Fetal
Authors: Ramos Vera , Canta Guillherme
Published: January 2021

Neste artigo procuramos reflectir sobre a abordagem clínica desenvolvida na consulta de Psicologia Clínica no Centro de Diagnóstico Pré-Natal do Serviço de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia do Hospital Garcia d’Orta (HGO). Este trabalho clínico decorreu junto de futuras mães ou casais cujo processo gravídico normal se viu interferido pela súbita notícia de um grave problema com o feto e o consequente risco ou eventual desenlace de perda fetal. Assim, nesse contexto o trabalho psicoterapêutico decorre debaixo de angústias intensas e avassaladoras derivadas de experiências afectivas associadas à morte. Não podemos deixar de salientar o paradoxo e contrassenso inerente ao facto de trabalharmos num serviço que gera vida e prepara para o nascimento de um bebé e simultaneamente estarmos próximo de fantasias e angústias de morte, felizmente apenas algumas tornadas reais, mas que constantemente invadiam a e estavam latentes na mente dos pais e de toda a equipa envolvida nesta consulta.

Published: January 2021

Objective: To perform morphometric analysis of corpus callosum (CC) by using callosal area (CA), supratentorial-supracallosal area (SSA) and CA/SSA parameters in a healthy pediatric population and to investigate changes according to age and gender. Method: Method: This retrospective study included a total of 313 children (154 boys, 159 girls) aged between 3-17 years. The cases were divided into three groups according to age: 3-6 years (Group 1) (pre-school), 7-12 years (Group 2) (preadolescent) and 13-17 years (Group 3) (adolescent). CA and SSA were measured on the mid-sagittal plane on T1-weighted images. CA/ SSA index was calculated. Differences in age, CA, SSA, and ratio parameters among the gender groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U or the t-test. Results: Median values of CA (p= 0.002), mean values of SSA (p=0.001) and CA/SSA ratios (p= 0.04) were significantly higher in boys compared to girls. The median CA and mean CA/SSA ratios in Group 3 were significantly higher than Groups 1 and 2 (p= 0.001). Mean CA/SSA ratio values of boys and girls in Age Group 3 were significantly higher than Group 1 (p= 0.001) and significantly higher than Age Group 2 in girls. There were highly significant positive correlations of age with CA (p=0.001, r=0.47), SSA (p=0.028, r=0.12) and CA/SSA ratio (p=0.001, r=042). There was a highly significant and positive correlation between CA and SSA (p=0.001, r=0.25) and CA/SSA ratio (p=0.001, r=0.87). Conclusion: CA, SSA, and CA/ SSA ratio values in children are affected by age and gender. These parameters can be used as reference values for the diagnosis of congenital and acquired pathologies affecting the corpus callosum.

Published: January 2021

Objective: The choice of laparoscopic technique in the treatment of complicated acute appendicitis (CAA) harbours debatable evidence because of higher rates of surgical complications such as postoperative intraabdominal abscess (POIIA). The aim of this study is to compare postoperative results of appendiceal stump (AS) ligation and its burial into the cecum using laparoscopic or open surgical techniques in patients with CAA. Method: This is a single-center and retrospective analysis of patients with CAA operated between May 2018 and April 2020. AS was intracorporeally knotted with silk and buried in the cecum with a purse-string suture (PSS). The patients were divided into open appendectomy (OA) and laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) groups. Data concerning demographic characteristics, intraoperative variables, hospital stay, surgical complications, morbidities, and postoperative findings were compared. Results: A total of 66 patients including 36 patients (54.54%) underwent LA and 30 patients had OA were enrolled in the study. Partial resection of cecum was performed in one patient in the OA group and two patients in the LA group with the help of a stapler due to cecal floor necrosis. The operative time and duration of hospital stay were significantly shorter in the LA group compared to the OA group. Surgical site infection and POIAA were significantlymore frequent in the OA group (p<0.001). Conclusion: In acute complicated appendicitis, laparoscopic method can be applied as an effective method by closing the appendiceal stump and burying into the cecum with a purse-string suture.

Published: January 2021

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine whether the presence of depression in adolescents who were overweight or obese increase the likelihood of cardiometabolic risk factors. Method: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of the data from adolescents who were overweight or obese, aged 11-18 years, who were evaluated in our clinic from January 2012 to December 2015. Depression was evaluated by “Children’s Depression Inventory”. Hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance were defined as cardiometabolic risk factors. The degree of obesity was calculated as the body mass index standard deviation score. Results: Among 283 adolescents 75 (26.5%) were overweight, and 208 (73.5%) had obesity, the mean age was 14.02±1.67 years and 168 (59.4%) of the subjects were girls. The body mass index standard deviation score was in median 2.36±0.62, Children’s Depression Inventory score was in median 12.72±6.5, and 47 (16.6%) of the participants were found depressed. Depression frequency was found higher in females than in males (p=0.047). Body mass index standard deviation score had positive correlation with Children’s Depression Inventory scores (r=0.123, p= 0.038). In univariate analysis, in depressed group hyperinsulinemia was found 2.3 times more frequent than in nondepressed group (p=0.026). In logistic regression analysis this relation disappeared. Conclusion: We showed that severity of depression increased, as the degree of obesity increased, but we could not find any clear relationship between depression and cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents who were overweight or obese.

Legislative Cross-carpeting, Multiparty System and the Challenges of Democratic Good Governance in Nigeria
Authors: OLURO Mayowa Joseph , BAMIGBOSE Johnson Olawale
Published: January 2021

The legislature is unarguably the fulcrum upon which democracy rests. Democracy, in this context, is representative government. Thus, the institution of the legislature as an assembly of elected representatives becomes the engine room of the structural framework upon which democratic governance is built. As history has shown, the beauty of legislature is greatly enhanced by a healthy multi-party system wherein elected representatives from different party backgrounds engage one another alongside party ideological positions with a view to deliberating on issue of governance and socio-economic well-being of the people. Legislative cross-carpeting in Nigeria is becoming a norm rather than exigency, and is taking a negative toll on the capacity of legislatures to fulfill their mandates as against functioning as merely rubber-stamp annexes of the executive/ruling party. This study examines the impacts of the wanton cross-carpeting, often times bereft of any ideological underpinning, that have characterized legislative assemblies in Nigeria and its implications on good governance. Among others, it concludes that concrete legal and political frameworks must be developed to check the direction of cross-carpeting in Nigeria’s legislative houses if good governance is to be entrenched.

NEW 40Ar/39Ar DATING OF ALUNITE FROM THE CERRO QUEMA Au-Cu DEPOSIT, AZUERO PENINSULA, PANAMA
Authors: Corral Isaac
Published: January 2021

Cerro Quema is a high-sulfidation epithermal Au-Cu deposit located in the Azuero Peninsula, southwestern Panama. It is hosted by a dacite dome complex of the Río Quema Formation, a volcano-sedimentary sequence of the Panamanian Cretaceous-Paleogene magmatic arc. Cerro Quema has oxide resources of 24.60 Mt at 0.71 g/t Au and 0.04% Cu, and sulfide resources of 11.38 Mt at 0.41 g/t Au and 0.31% Cu. Alunite 40Ar/39Ar dating of a sample from Cerro Quema yielded a final age of 48.8 ± 2.2 Ma (weighted average of plateau age) and 49.2 ± 3.3 Ma (weighted average of total gas age). This age is interpreted to represent the formational age of the Cerro Quema deposit at ~49 Ma, linking it to the Valle Rico batholith intrusive event. Based on the new alunite 40Ar/39Ar data and a reexamination of published geochronological data, magmatic-hydrothermal deposits such as the Río Pito porphyry copper and the Cerro Quema high-sulfidation epithermal deposit formed during the early arc stage (68–40 Ma) in the Chagres-Bayano arc (eastern Panama) and the Soná-Azuero arc (western Panama), respectively. They formed in a similar geodynamic setting at ~49 Ma, when diorites and quartz-diorites intruded Cretaceous volcano-sedimentary sequences. Cerro Quema and Río Pito provide evidence for the exploration potential of Cretaceous-Paleogene arc segments. Exploration should focus on Cretaceous volcanic and volcano-sedimentary sequences intruded by Paleogene batholiths of intermediate to felsic composition.
Comparing Three Distinct Samples on Traumatic Events, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Dysfunctional Coping Styles
Authors: Blau Gary , Miller Glen
Published: January 2021

The purpose of this study was to compare three distinct United States (US) samples on traumatic events, dysfunctional coping styles and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The samples were: civilian (n = 97); non-combat military veterans (n=61) and combat military veterans (n = 91). An online survey was used to collect all the data. The average age across all participants was 29 years old. For the overall combined sample, three avoidance coping styles, venting, denial, and dark humor, were each positively related to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Looking at differences between the three samples, the combat veteran sample had more traumatic events (TEs), with the most recent TE being longer ago, then the non-combat veteran and civilian samples. There were no sample differences in PTSD. However, the non-combat veteran sample had higher levels of denial, venting and dark humor in dealing with their most recent TE, than the other two samples. This research draws needed attention to helping non-combat military veterans cope in a more positive way with their most recent TE. Future research directions and study limitations are discussed.

Published: January 2021

Potato is one of the main crops worldwide. It this research, antifungal activity in vitro of paraquat and glyphosate were evaluated for Rhizoctonia solani control. R. solani was identified from potato tubers collected out from at open markets in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico. Two types of herbicides were applied: paraquat and glyphosate, at four different dosage treatments of: 10, 100, 1 000 and 10 000 μL. One 5 mm diameter PDA disc with R. solani mycelium was placed at the center of the Petri dish, with a radial registry fungal every 24 h for 192 h. Pathogen was identified by morphological criteria and the data was evaluated randomly with a factorial arrangement, on which, herbicides represented factor A and dosage treatments were represented by factor B. Thus experimental design had two levels for factor A and five levels for factor B with six replications. The results were analyzed by the SAS version 9.1 statistical program, the mean separation with the Tukey test (p=0.05). Glyphosate achieved inhibition of R. solani by 35.5882% and paraquat up to 80.0399%. Results reveal the importance of the need for more studies of these herbicides as fungicides. High concentrations of paraquat (10 000 μL) inhibits R. solani, and glyphosate does not affect R. solani mycelium development at low dosages (10 and 100 μL) and inhibits it at higher doses (10 000 μL).

Human Factors and Usability of an Incentive Spirometer Patient Reminder (SpiroTimer™)
Authors: Pangborn Joshua , Kazemi Layla , Eltorai Adam E. M.
Published: January 2021

Introduction: To address the problem of incentive spirometry (IS) noncompliance, a use-tracking IS reminder device (SpiroTimer™) was developed. In a recent randomized clinical trial, the SpiroTimer™ improved IS use compliance, length of stay, and mortality. For successful, safe, and effective implementation of a new medical device, human factors and usability must be evaluated. This study aims to evaluate the SpiroTimer™’s human factors as they pertain to intended users, use environments, and uses. Material and methods: Immediately following the completion of the randomized clinical trial of the SpiroTimer™, before the providers were informed of the results of the study, a human factors and usability survey was distributed in-person to all nurses involved in the trial. Variations in nurse user perspectives were evaluated. Results: A total of 52 nurses (100% response rate) completed the survey. In general, most nurses felt IS use compliance is poor (65%; 34/52, p = 0.0265) and should be improved (94%; 49/52, p < 0.001). Nurses agreed the SpiroTimer™ ameliorated patient IS use compliance (82%; 41/50, p < 0.001), IS effectiveness (74 %; 37/50, p < 0.001), and patient engagement in their own care (88%; 44/ 50, p < 0.001). Nurses reported the SpiroTimer™ helped remind them to work with their patients on IS (70%; 35/50, p = 0.0047) while reducing the number of times they had to remind their patients to use their IS (70%; 35/50, p = 0.0047). They felt that they would use the SpiroTimer™ with all their patients (82%; 41/50, p < 0.001) and that they would recommend the SpiroTimer™ to a colleague (74%; 37/50, p < 0.001). Ultimately, most nurses believed the SpiroTimer™ should become part of routine patient care (78%; 39/50, p < 0.001). Discussion: For a new medical technology to a medical device to be effectively implemented, human factors and usability must be demonstrated. Nurses believe the clinically effective SpiroTimer™ helps both patients and nurses and should become part of routine care.

Authors: Sova Milan , Genzor Samuel , Sovova Marketa , Sovova Eliska , Moravcova Katarina , Nadjarpour Shayan , Zapletalova Jana
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a well-known risk factor for masked hypertension (MH) and masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH). Automated ambulatory office blood pressure measurement (AOBP) might better correlate with the results of ambulatory blood pressure measurements (ABPM) compared to routine office blood pressure measurement (OBPM). The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic rate of MH/MUCH when using OBPM and AOBP in combination with ABPM. Material and methods: 65 OSA patients, of which 58 were males, (AHI > 5, mean 44.4; range 5–103) of average age 48.8 ± 10.7 years were involved in this study. Following MH/MUCH criteria were used; Criteria I: OBPM < 140/90 mm Hg and daytime ABPM > 135/85 mm Hg; Criteria II: AOBP < 140/90 mm Hg and daytime ABPM > 135/85 mm Hg; Criteria III: AOBP < 135/85 mm Hg and daytime ABPM > 135/85 mm Hg. Results: MH/MUCH criteria I was met in 16 patients (24.6%) with criteria II being met in 37 patients (56.9%), and criteria III in 33 (51.0%), p < 0.0001. Both systolic and diastolic OBPM were significantly higher than AOBP; Systolic (mm Hg): 135.3 ± 12.3 vs. 122.1 ± 10.1 (p < 0.0001); Diastolic (mm Hg): 87.4 ± 8.9 vs. 77.1 ± 9.3 (p < 0.0001). AOBP was significantly lower than daytime ABPM; Systolic (mm Hg): 122.1 ± 10.1 vs. 138.9 ± 10.5 (p < 0.0001); Diastolic (mm Hg): 77.1 ± 9.3 vs. 81.6 ± 8.1 (p < 0.0001). Non-dipping phenomenon was present in 38 patients (58.4%). Nocturnal hypertension was present in 55 patients (84.6%). Conclusions: In patients with OSA there is a much higher prevalence of MH/MUCH despite normal AOBP, therefore it is necessary to perform a 24-hour ABPM even if OBPM and AOBP are normal.
Fatty liver disease in dairy cattle – risk factors, symptoms and prevention
Authors: Bombik Elżbieta , Sokół Justyna , Pietrzkiewicz Katarzyna
Published: January 2021

Fat cow syndrome (fatty liver disease) is a common metabolic problem in dairy cow production during the transition period, from the dry period to lactation. This syndrome occurs when due to liver uptake of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs), they are stored in excess as triacylglycerols (TAGs) in the liver. Currently, diagnosis of this disorder must be confirmed by a liver biopsy to determine the fat content of liver cells, as well as blood tests for increased levels of liver enzymes (GGT, SDH, AST, and bilirubin). Fat cow syndrome is associated with the occurrence of clinical diseases, decreased immunity, and problems with reproduction. It is a major problem in the herd health due to the high cost of veterinary services, a longer calving interval, and reduced longevity of cows, causing enormous economic losses. The best means of prevention is good nutrition and routine blood tests in the herd.

Published: January 2021

In autumn 2018, eight Museum Studies students from the University of Helsinki had the opportunity to put theory into practice and to gain hands-on experience making a real exhibition. The ‘Museum Content Planning’ course was a collaborative project between the National Museum of Finland and the university in which the students, together with the museum staff, built a pop-up exhibition about the Indian festival Durga Puja in only five weeks. The exhibition showed in the National Museum for two weeks, and the students were involved in most stages of the exhibition’s development. They also blogged about their learning experience. In this case study, we present our reflections on both the benefits and challenges of collaboratively creating an exhibition, which is simultaneously an accredited learning experience for university students.
A INEFICIÊNCIA DAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS VOLTADAS À ACESSIBILIDADE DE PEDESTRES NAS CIDADES BRASILEIRAS
Authors: Rodrigues Lara Reis , Lemos Maximiliano Engler
Published: January 2021

Na contemporaneidade, são frequentes as problemáticas relacionadas à mobilidade urbana. Na grande maioria das cidades brasileiras, a acessibilidade nos espaços públicos, que deveria promover uma mobilidade sustentável, não recebe sua devida importância, mesmo após a aprovação da Lei Federal n° 12.587/2012, que institui a Política Nacional de Mobilidade Urbana. Diante deste pensamento, a presente pesquisa, de cunho analítico, objetiva buscar o entendimento sobre os motivos da ineficiência das políticas públicas voltadas à acessibilidade dos pedestres nas ruas, como uma forma de propor melhorias no deslocamento e no convívio das pessoas no espaço público, de modo a reduzir a insegurança existente no mesmo. A estruturação deste artigo ocorreu mediante um método de natureza quantitativa-qualitativa, uma vez que apresenta um embasamento teórico e qualitativo, no qual foram realizados levantamentos bibliográficos, além de buscar informações, em noticiários, que exemplificassem as ineficientes políticas públicas relacionadas à mobilidade dos pedestres. Além disso, houve também uma fundamentação experimental e quantitativa, em que foram efetuadas cinquenta entrevistas mediante a realização e a aplicação de questionários de campo em uma área específica da cidade de Franca, localizada no interior paulista, constatando-se que apenas uma pequena parcela da população local questiona sobre a escassa acessibilidade existente aos pedestres. Assim, a maioria das políticas públicas, como no caso estudado em Franca, é destinada à infraestrutura viária voltada aos automóveis, por uma questão histórica e cultural, além do crescimento da motorização individual, que impactou a mobilidade urbana das cidades, fazendo com que as legislações que visem melhorias aos pedestres permaneçam em segundo plano.

Applying and Promoting the Seaport Quality System (SQS) and Spatial Interaction Model (SIM) for the Sustainable Development of the Recreational Seaport Industry in Malaysia
Authors: Rosni Othman Mohamad , Jeevan Jagan , Haqimin Salleh Nurul , Azwa Noralam Noor
Published: January 2021

The recreational seaport industry carries out many critical functions, including transport circulation, logistics, commercial, and spatial ones. They influence local economic growth and determine the quality of recreational seaport. However, the definition of recreational seaport quality has remained elusive among the community, at present. Hence, this chapter explores the current literature by using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to derive at the definition of seaport quality based on three categories: seaport effectiveness, seaport reliability, and seaport governance, which will be main pillars for the development of marinas. This chapter proposes the Seaport Quality System (SQS) and Spatial Interaction Model (SIM) as a way to develop approaches and strategies that support sustainable planning and management of recreational seaports and marinas in countries with extensive coastlines. It is proposed that in order to offer sustainable and quality services, marinas must adopt the SQS model based on identifying and managing quality and risks. In addition, SIM can be utilised to improve the marinas operations by adopting key components in cruise activities, economic corridors and seaport regionalisation. The combination of both models are essential to enhance the growth momentum of marinas in this country.
Predicting Type 2 Diabetes Complications and Personalising Patient Using Artificial Intelligence Methodology
Authors: Yousefi Leila , Tucker Allan
Published: January 2021

The prediction of the onset of different complications of disease, in general, is challenging due to the existence of unmeasured risk factors, imbalanced data, time-varying data due to dynamics, and various interventions to the disease over time. Scholars share a common argument that many Artificial Intelligence techniques that successfully model disease are often in the form of a “black box” where the internal workings and complexities are extremely difficult to understand, both from practitioners’ and patients’ perspective. There is a need for appropriate Artificial Intelligence techniques to build predictive models that not only capture unmeasured effects to improve prediction, but are also transparent in how they model data so that knowledge about disease processes can be extracted and trust in the model can be maintained by clinicians. The proposed strategy builds probabilistic graphical models for prediction with the inclusion of informative hidden variables. These are added in a stepwise manner to improve predictive performance whilst maintaining as simple a model as possible, which is regarded as crucial for the interpretation of the prediction results. This chapter explores this key issue with a specific focus on diabetes data. According to the literature on disease modelling, especially on major diseases such as diabetes, a patient’s mortality often occurs due to the associated complications caused by the disease over time and not the disease itself. This is often patient-specific and will depend on what type of cohort a patient belongs to. Another main focus of this study is patient personalisation via precision medicine by discovering meaningful subgroups of patients which are characterised as phenotypes. These phenotypes are explained further using Bayesian network analysis methods and temporal association rules. Overall, this chapter discussed the earlier research of the chapter’s author. It explores Artificial Intelligence (IDA) techniques for modelling the progression of disease whilst simultaneously stratifying patients and doing so in a transparent manner as possible. To this end, it reviews the current literature on some of the most common Artificial Intelligent (AI) methodologies, including probabilistic modelling, association rule mining, phenotype discovery and latent variable discovery by using diabetes as a case study.

Bangladesh is in the front line of battlefield of disasters due to geographical location and global warming faced over 200 natural disasters in past 40 years and most of the disasters were cyclones. People need to be evacuated and rescued before a cyclone landfall. In current practice, multipurpose cyclone shelter (MPCS) provides short-term safety for the disaster victims in Bangladesh, where people are rescued after disasters which cannot ensure survival of lives. This study aims to develop a method for efficient evacuation and rescue to reduce death tolls in the events of disasters. This study used Wi-Fi scanner and smartphones to detect people. An inbuilt index that includes name, address, mobile number, photo, service set identifier (SSID), and media access control (MAC) of smartphone was developed for 90 registered participants. In this controlled experiment, few new participants turned on hotspot in every five minutes. A new index of people with MAC/SSID was developed in MPCS simulating an emergency. Missing people were detected by comparing inbuilt index and new index, and ordered them self-evacuation. This method captured 100% evacuees. Most importantly, the proposed method will reduce death tools because the people are rescued earlier to a disaster hits a specific area.
Towards Shared Mobility Services in Ring Shape
Authors: Leurent Fabien
Published: January 2021

A shared mobility service (SMS) under ring shape would combine the principle of service cycle along a fixed route (as in a transit line) and a fairly important territorial coverage, assuming that every user would accept to walk on some length to and from the service. Thus, service availability can be optimised, detours are avoided, vehicles achieve higher productivity. The synergy between the ring-shaped infrastructure and the vehicle fleet enables to optimise the quality of service in terms of access time and ride time, and also to reduce production costs - and therefore the tariff fares, under suitable regulation. The chapter aims to reveal these ‘systemic qualities’ of ring-shaped SMSs by providing a mathematical model called ‘Orbicity’. It has a four-fold architecture: (i) traffic operations, (ii) supply-demand equilibrium under elastic demand, (iii) service management with endogenous fleet size and fare rate, (iv) service policy in terms of technology (vehicle type, number of places, energy vector, driving technology) and also the regulation regime. After outlining the model for ring-shaped shuttle services, we explore a set of scenarios along two axes of technological generation and regulation regime. It appears that ring-shaped shuttle services could be supplied at very affordable prices, while achieving profitability and requiring no public subsidies.

Understanding the underline fundamental mechanism behind experimental and industrial technologies embodies one of the foundations of the advances and tailoring new materials. With the pulsed laser deposition being one of the key techniques for obtaining complex biocompatible materials with controllable stoichiometry, there is need for experimental and theoretical advancements towards understanding the dynamics of multi component plasmas. Here we investigate the laser ablation process on Cu-Mn-Al and Fe-Mn-Si by means of space-and time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy and fast camera imaging. In a fractal paradigm the space–time homographic transformations were correlated with the global dynamics of the ablation plasmas.
Telescoping with Multiple Revolution Cranial Osteotomies in Patients with Simple Craniosynostosis
Authors: José Caycedo Diego , Cabal Castro Marcela , Fernando Santacruz Luís
Published: January 2021

Simple craniosynostosis is a cranial deformity that occurs secondary to a premature closure of one or more sutures, with a consequent alteration in cranial growth and cerebral expansion. The cranial alteration presents as flattening parallel to the compromised suture, with compensatory bulging in a perpendicular vector. The surgical treatment consists in cranial decompressions with suturectomies and simultaneous cranioplasties. Dynamic multiple revolution osteotomies allow the design of bone flaps that can help with decompression and correct secondary deformities caused by the synostosis. This multicenter descriptive case series study assessed 52 patients (12 plagiocephaly, 29 scaphocephaly, 7 brachycephaly and 4 trigonocephaly) operated in Cali, Colombia. In each case, suturectomy and telescoping with multiple revolution cranial osteotomies were designed to correct each particular deformity. No clinical complications were observed in the postoperative period (1, 90, and 180 days), and excellent outcomes with no re ossification of sutures and maintenance of the cranioplasty, based on clinical observation and findings in the 3D reconstruction scans.

Proton therapy is an efficient high-precision radiotherapy technique. The number of installed proton units and the available medical evidence has grown exponentially over the last 10 years. As a technology driven cancer treatment modality, specific sub-analysis based on proton beam characteristics and proton beam generators is feasible and of academic interest. International synchrotron technology-based institutions have been particularly active in evidence generating actions including the design of prospective trials, data registration projects and retrospective analysis of early clinical results. Reported evidence after 2010 of proton therapy from synchrotron based clinical results are reviewed. Physics, molecular, cellular, animal investigation and other non-clinical topics were excluded from the present analysis. The actual literature search (up to January 2020) found 192 publications, including description of results in over 29.000 patients (10 cancer sites and histological subtypes), together with some editorials, reviews or expert updated recommendations. Institutions with synchrotron-based proton therapy technology have shown consistent and reproducible results along the past decade. Bibliometrics of reported clinical experiences from 2008 to early 2020 includes 58% of publications in first quartile (1q) scientific journals classification and 13% in 2q (7% 3q, 5% 4q and 17% not specified). The distribution of reports by cancer sites and histological subtypes shown as dominant areas of clinical research and publication: lung cancer (23%), pediatric (18%), head and neck (17%), central nervous system (7%), gastrointestinal (9%), prostate (8%) and a miscellanea of neplasms including hepatocarcinoma, sarcomas and breast cancer. Over 50% of lung, pediatric, head and neck and gastrointestinal publications were 1q.

Fuzzy Approach Model to Portfolio Risk Response Strategies
Authors: Rahimi Yaser
Published: January 2021

Risk management and control of project risks have been the intrinsic characteristics of high-rise building projects in a changing built environment. In this research, a novel bi-objective model for the best mixture of projects is proposed. The first objective focuses on maximizing profits and efficiency of risk responses, and the second objective aims at minimizing project direct cost including machinery, human, and material costs to implement proper risk responses over a planning horizon under uncertainty. In this model, risks of the projects are controlled by time, quality, and cost constraints, and the most optimum risk response strategies (RRSs) are selected to eliminate or reduce the impacts of the risks. Thus, the combination of optimum projects with the best RRSs can be selected for an organizational portfolio model. Finally, to assess the solution method and the proposed model, the empirical result and sensitivity analysis are carried out. Ten large-scale high-rise building projects and their associated risks are evaluated as cases in this study.

This chapter presents a conceptual solution of autonomous cargo transportation where the primary research objective is the design of a heavy lift multirotor UAV system. The process of designing a multirotor UAV that can carry heavy lift cargo is quite challenging due to many parameters and constraints. Five selected series of electric propulsion systems are analyzed, with different multirotor configurations, and results are graphically displayed for payloads from 10 kg up to 100 kg.
Variable, Fractional-Order PID Controller Synthesis Novelty Method
Authors: Ostalczyk Piotr , Duch Piotr
Published: January 2021

The novelty method of the discrete variable, fractional order PID controller is proposed. The PID controllers are known for years. Many tuning continuous time PID controller methods are invented. Due to different performance criteria there are optimized three parameters: proportional, integral and differentiation gains. In the fractional order PID controllers there are two additional parameters: fractional order integration and differentiation. In the variable, fractional order PID controller fractional orders are generalized to functions. Nowadays all PID controllers are realized by microcontrollers in a discrete time version. Hence, the order functions are discrete variable bounded ones. Such controllers offer better transient characteristics of the closed loop systems. The choice of the order functions is still the open problem. In this Section a novelty intuitive idea is proposed. As the order functions one applies two spline functions with bounded functions defined for every time subinterval. The main idea is that in the final time interval the variable, fractional order PID controller transforms itself to the classical one preserving the stability conditions and zero steady-state error signal. This means that in the last time interval the discrete integration order is −1 and differentiation is 1.

La flore de Nouvelle-Calédonie est mondialement connue pour son exceptionnelle richesse avec quelque 3 371 espèces indigènes de plantes vasculaires dont les 3/4 sont endémiques du territoire. L’originalité de cette flore est remarquable, tant aux niveaux taxonomiques supérieurs (une centaine de genres et trois familles endémiques) que par la concentration de lignées primitives ou inhabituelles tel un conifère parasite, ou de plantes accumulatrices de métaux lourds. Des espèces restent encore à décrire et des programmes de recherche sont nécessaires pour mieux comprendre l’origine de cette diversité et contribuer à sa préservation. Ce nouvel ouvrage de la Flore de Nouvelle-Calédonie, publié conjointement par le Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle et l’Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, est une monographie sans précédent des Cunoniaceae de Nouvelle-Calédonie. Cette famille de près de 350 espèces, de répartition essentiellement australe, est particulièrement bien représentée sur le Territoire, où ont été recensées 91 espèces, toutes endémiques, réparties en sept genres : Codia, Cunonia, Geissois, Hooglandia, Pancheria, Spiraeanthemum, Weinmannia. Après une présentation générale de la famille, la description de chaque genre et des espèces qu’il comporte est accompagnée de clés d’identification nombreuses et illustrées, de cartes de répartition, de dessins au trait. L’ensemble est enrichi par de nombreuses photographies. Aussi détaillée qu’attractive, cette flore restera la référence internationale sur les Cunoniaceae de Nouvelle-Calédonie pendant de nombreuses années.
