Thermoelasticity with antidissipation
Authors: Conti Monica , Liverani Lorenzo , Pata Vittorino
Published: February 2022

We provide a complete stability analysis for the abstract differential system made by an antidamped wave-type equation, coupled with a dissipative heat-type equation

   \begin{document}$ \begin{cases} u_{tt} + A u -\gamma u_t = p A^{\alpha} \theta \\ \theta_{t} + \kappa A^{\beta} \theta = - p A^{\alpha} u_t \end{cases} $\end{document}

where \begin{document}$ A $\end{document} is a strictly positive selfadjoint operator on a Hilbert space, \begin{document}$ \gamma, \kappa>0 $\end{document}, and both the parameters \begin{document}$ \alpha $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ \beta $\end{document} can vary between \begin{document}$ 0 $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ 1 $\end{document}. The asymptotic properties of the associated solution semigroup are determined by the strength of the coupling, as well as the quantitative balance between the antidamping \begin{document}$ \gamma $\end{document} and the damping \begin{document}$ \kappa $\end{document}. Depending on the value of \begin{document}$ (\alpha, \beta) $\end{document} in the unit square, one of the following mutually disjoint situations can occur: either the related semigroup decays exponentially fast, or all the solutions vanish but not uniformly, or there exists a trajectory whose norm blows up exponentially fast as \begin{document}$ t\to\infty $\end{document}.

This paper deals with unsteady flow of fractional Casson fluid in the existence of bioconvection. The governing equations are modeled with fractional derivative which is transformed into dimensionless form by using dimensionless variables. The analytical solution is attained by applying Laplace transform technique. Some graphs are made for involved parameters. As a result, it is found that temperature, bioconvection are maximum away from the plate for large time and vice versa and showing dual behavior in their boundary layers respectively. Further recent literature is recovered from the present results and obtained good agreement.

OBJECTIVES: Opioids are prescribed to treat moderate to severe pain. We investigated recent trends in opioid (morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, and hydromorphone) prescriptions using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort between 2002 and 2015.METHODS: The morphine milligram equivalent (MME) was calculated to standardize the relative potency of opioids. The number (cases) or amount (MME) of annual opioid prescriptions per 10,000 registrants was computed to analyze trends in opioid prescriptions after age standardization. Joinpoint regression analysis was conducted to calculate the annual percentage change and average annual percentage change (AAPC).RESULTS: The number (cases) of prescriptions per 10,000 registrants increased from 0.07 in 2002 to 41.23 in 2015 (AAPC, 76.0%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 61.6 to 91.7). The MME per 10,000 registrants increased from 15.06 in 2002 to 40,727.80 in 2015 (AAPC, 103.0%; 95% CI, 78.2 to 131.3). The highest AAPC of prescriptions and MME per 10,000 registrants were observed in the elderly (60-69 years) and in patients treated at general hospitals. Fentanyl prescriptions increased most rapidly among the 4 opioids.CONCLUSIONS: Consumption of opioids greatly increased in Korea over the 14-year study period.

Experiencias formativas en la etnoeducación de comunidades afrodescendientes en olombia, un proceso en construcción
Authors: Quintero Juliana Sinisterra
Published: February 2022

La etnoeducación es la forma de enseñanza y aprendizaje de saberes culturales incluidos dentro de los programas académicos de los colegios y los consejos comunitarios, que permite tener en cuenta la multiculturalidad como parte esencial del modelo educativo tradicional. En Colombia es uno de los procesos culturales y educativos implementados para las comunidades, bien sean indígenas o afrocolombianas. A través del reconocimiento legal de la Ley 70 de 1993 y el Decreto reglamentario 804 de 1995 se logró consolidar un modelo educativo articulado a la educación pública y potestativo a la educación privada con condiciones diversas culturalmente que permitiera, entre otras cosas, el reconocimiento intercultural necesario. Sin embargo, los impactos no han sido muy claros y es que estos deben verse reflejados en dos vías: La generación de un nuevo conocimiento con base en la forma de enseñar y aprender de las comunidades y los efectos que este proceso tiene en la vida económica y laboral de los grupos, que permita dar cuenta sobre cómo funciona, en qué niveles de educación se puede hablar de políticas etnoeducativas y cómo ha sido el trabajo que se ha venido realizando dentro de las comunidades para ejecutar la política. El presente estudio es una apuesta por mostrar los avances sobre algunos de los aspectos más importantes de la política etnoeducativa que se aplica en Colombia a partir de las experiencias formativas de los principales actores, en este caso, las comunidades afrodescendientes.

Published: February 2022

MRSA is Staphylococcus aureus bacteria  that is resistant to methicillin and certain antibiotics. These organisms live as commensal bacteria that are transmitted in communities and health facilities which cause various health problems. Patients who develop antibiotic resistance have a worse clinical condition and many lead to death. The purpose of this study was to compare MSSA and MRSA against fluoroquinolone group and vancomycin antibiotics.  Specimens derived from various clinical samples sent to microbiology laboratories FMUI for the period 2018-2019. Gram staining and culture is carried out according to the procedure of each colony that grows on the medium. Followed by identification using the automatic machine Vitek 2®. A total 62 isolates, 58 were MSSA and the others were MRSA (6.45%).  MSSA patients  are in the age range 1 -  >50 years, dominant in men while MRSA is in the age range 16 – 30 and  >50 years, dominant in women. The sensitivity of the fluoroquinolone group and vancomycin  of antibiotics to MSSA was 100% whereas for MRSA  it was 50 %  to fluoroquinolone group and 100% to vancomycin. Vancomycin can be the antibiotic of choice for the management of infections by MRSA bacteria.

Authors: Fachiroh Zakiyatul , Hidayati Irul , Ainun Jariyah Ita
Published: February 2022

Fish disease caused by Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria is very dangerous. These bacteria spread very quickly and result in a decrease in growth rates and can kill fish. To overcome this problem, fish cultivators usually use chemical drugs or antibiotics. However, the use of antibiotics can cause bacterial resistance and the presence of antibiotic residues in fish which can be harmful if the fish is consumed, so it is necessary to do other alternatives using traditional medicine. Yellow ivory coconut husk (Cocos nucifera var. Eburnea) is believed to have antibacterial properties. However, the content of potential secondary metabolites in these plants is not known, therefore this study aimed to determine the ability of the extract of the yellow ivory coconut husk  (Cocos nucifera var. Eburnea) in inhibiting the growth of Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 6 treatments and 4 repetitions. The method used in this study is the disc diffusion method. The results of the disc diffusion method showed that the extract of ivory yellow coconut coir (Cocos nucifera var. Eburnea) was able to inhibit the growth of Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria. The concentration of coco coir extract of yellow ivory (Cocos nucifera var. Eburnea) 5000 ppm had the highest inhibition zone value with an average of 12.225 mm. Statistical test results show the value of Asymp. Sig of 0.004 which means <0.05. This indicates that the extract of the yellow ivory coconut husk (Cocos nucifera var. Eburnea) is able to inhibit the growth of Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria
About epic subject: heroes, heroines and anachronism

Considerations about a special subject, the epic, or, in other words, the hero and/or the heroine who are the protagonists of some long poems which talk about history and myth in a literary way, with or without traces of anachronism. We will consider the evolution of concepts of subject as a fundamental category for literary studies, the evolution of the epic genre itself, the epic representation of women and the anachronism as a possible presence in epic poems. Illustrating our reflection we will comment some epic poems which integrate the epic expression in English: The faerie queene, by Edmund Spenser; Paradise regained, by John Milton; The Rape of the Lock, by Alexander Pope; The Fall of Hyperion, by Keats; Christ, by Gavin Bantock; and South America.

Published: February 2022

From the Ubuntu philosophy to peace management, good governance application enables socioeconomic and environmental development. It happens that a fear atmosphere due to global disaster in health care management compromise good governance sustainability. This study seeks to design a framework for good health governance during the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic response and recovery in South Africa. Using a case study, research data were collected through questionnaire and analysed using correlation, variance and regression tools in statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS). 75%, 74%, 69% and 82% of respondents agreed and strongly agreed that good health governance metrics, government modernisation, pandemic governance strategies and pandemic governance challenges constitute the components of an effective framework for good health governance during the response and the recovery phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, there was a positive, strong and significant connection between the framework for good health governance and its constituents. Although health measures were taken at the early stage to limit the severe consequences of the pandemic in South Africa, the government is still required to redouble efforts in implementing rules of laws, initiate and develop capacity building, build integrity cultures together with the implementation of e-governance to ensure effective responsiveness and recovery. Countries in respective regions around the world should join forces to combat the spread of the virus through adoption of international good health governance solutions as proposed by the World Health Organisations. In South Africa specifically, government should incessantly initialise post-pandemic resolutions beforehand to counterattack continuous shocks on the country’ economic growth.

Published: February 2022

Importance: Baseline global cognitive function may affect cognitive and functional outcomes during combined physical and cognitive training; however, how it influences the effects of combined training remains uncertain.

Objective: To determine the impact of baseline global cognitive function on cognitive and functional outcomes after combined physical and cognitive training among older adults with cognitive decline.

Design: Observational.

Setting: Local communities and senior centers.

Participants: Older adults with mild cognitive decline (MCD; n = 51) and moderate to severe cognitive decline (MSCD; n = 40).

Intervention: Participants received 45 to 55 min of physical exercise training followed by 45 to 55 min of cognitive training in one session per week for 12 wk.

Outcomes and Measures: Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Lawton–Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (Lawton–Brody IADL), Word Recall Test (WRT), Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT), Digital Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), and Trail Making Test (TMT) scores were assessed and compared between the MCD and MSCD groups.

Results: Significant interaction effects were found for the WRT, SCWT, MoCA, and Lawton–Brody IADL. WRT and SCWT scores significantly improved in the MCD group, whereas MoCA and Lawton–Brody IADL scores significantly improved in the MSCD group. DSST scores increased among all participants, but TMT scores improved only in the MCD group.

Conclusions and Relevance: Older adults’ baseline global cognitive function affected cognitive and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) outcomes regarding combined training. High-level cognitive function, including inhibition and shifting abilities and working memory capacity, improved among older adults with MCD, whereas general cognitive function and IADLs improved among older adults with MSCD.

What This Article Adds: Findings revealed domain-specific changes with respect to baseline cognitive function, which may help to refine current combined training protocols and facilitate development of personalized combined training programs for older adults with cognitive impairments.

Objective: Primary care physicians (PCPs) are positioned to mitigate opioid morbidity and mortality, but their engagement in primary, secondary, and tertiary opioid-related prevention behaviors is unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate Tennessee PCPs’ engagement in and intention to engage in multiple opioid-related prevention behaviors.Methods: A survey instrument was developed, pretested, and pilot tested with practicing PCPs. Thereafter, a census of eligible Tennessee PCPs was conducted using a modified, four-wave tailored design method approach. Three patient scenarios were employed to assess physician intention to engage in 10 primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention behaviors. Respondents were asked to report, given 10 similar scenarios, the number of times (0-10) they would engage in prevention behaviors. Descriptive statistics were calculated using SPSS version 25.Results: A total of 296 usable responses were received. Physician intention to engage in prevention behaviors varied across the 10 behaviors studied. Physicians reported frequently communicating risks associated with prescription opioids to patients (8.9 ± 2.8 out of 10 patients), infrequently utilizing brief questionnaires to assess for risk of opioid misuse (1.7 ± 3.3 out of 10 patients), and screening for current opioid misuse (3.1 ± 4.3 out of 10 patients). Physicians reported seldomly co-prescribing naloxone for overdose reversal and frequently discharging from practice patients presenting with an opioid use disorder.Conclusions: This study noted strengths and opportunities to increase engagement in prevention behaviors. Understanding PCPs’ engagement in opioid-related prevention behaviors is important to effectively target and implement morbidity and mortality reducing interventions.
Acupressure: A brief review on alternative treatment approach for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Authors: Mishra Shriyanka , Nautiyal Himani , Singh Sanjay
Published: February 2022

Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese medical practice (TCM); where thin needles are pricked at specific points in the body. In Ancient time, this practice was used to relieve pain but now it has become a therapy to treat other conditions. As an ancient practice, acupressure uses healing power of the body to treat itself by stimulating specific points. Different studies have found positive effects of acupressure in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), as it has been effectively used to procure regular menstrual frequency and normalize the androgen hormone levels. According to acupressure theory, an energy flow pattern is essential for health, when this energy flow is disturbed in body leads to diseases. These acupressure points are present on meridians and vital energy “qi” flows along it, though no anatomical and histological existence is available for such points. Present review briefly describes these points.

The use of organic fertilizer is one solution to solve the problem of lack of nutrients in the soil, taking into account the sustainability aspect. Rabbit droppings are obtained from rabbit breeders at P4S Agro Cendekia Bangunrejo. The study was conducted in July 2021 at P4S Agro Cendekia Bangunrejo. Liquid organic fertilizer is made by two different methods namely Y1 (a mixture of 10 liters of rabbit urine, 150 grams of brown sugar and 0.2 liters of EM3) with a fermentation time of 7 days and a pH of 7.5 and Y2 (a mixture of 10 liters of rabbit urine, 150 grams of brown sugar, 0.2 liters of EM3 and bamboo root) with a fermentation time of 6 days and a pH of 7.3. There are three treatments, namely P1 as an experimental control (without the provision of liquid organic fertilizer), P2 is given liquid organic fertilizer Y1, P3 is given liquid organic fertilizer Y2. Each treatment was randomly taken as many as 5 samples to be used as the object of the study. The parameters of the growth of kale plants analyzed after 10 hst (days after planting) are plant height, number of leaves, length of roots and number of roots. From the research data obtained, the highest average plant height is in the P2 treatment with a value of 8.12 cm. The average number of leaves is the largest in the P2 treatment as many as 5 stems.  The average length of the highest root is in P3 at 8.46 cm. The average number of roots obtained in the P2 treatment is 29 branches. Liquid organic fertilizer of rabbit urine affects the growth of kale plants.

Frequent new particle formation at remote sites in the subboreal forest of North America

Abstract. The frequency and intensity of new particle formation
(NPF) over remote forest regions in the temperate and boreal zones, and thus
the importance of NPF for the aerosol budget and life cycle in the pristine
atmosphere, remains controversial. Whereas NPF has been shown to occur
relatively frequently at several sites in Scandinavia, it was found to be
nearly absent at a mid-continental site in Siberia. To explore this issue
further, we made measurements of aerosol size distributions between 10 and
420 nm diameter at two remote sites in the transition region between
temperate and boreal forest in British Columbia, Canada. The measurements
covered 23 d during the month of June 2019, at the time when NPF
typically reaches its seasonal maximum in remote midlatitude regions. These
are the first such measurements in a near-pristine region on the North
American continent. Although the sites were only 150 km apart, there were
clear differences in NPF frequency and intensity between them. At the Eagle
Lake site, NPF occurred daily, and nucleation-mode particle concentrations
reached above 5000 cm−3. In contrast, at the Nazko River site, there
were only six NPF events in 11 d, and the nucleation-mode particle
concentrations only reached about 800 cm−3. The reasons for this
difference could not be conclusively resolved with the available data; they
may include air mass origins, preexisting aerosols, and the density and type
of forest cover in the surrounding regions. In contrast to observations in
other temperate and boreal environments, we found that NPF at our sites occurred
at nighttime just as frequently as during daytime. Together with the lack of
identifiable sources of sulfuric acid precursor species in the fetch
region of our sites, this suggests that nucleation of
extremely low volatility organics was the predominant NPF mechanism. Our
results indicate that extended measurement campaigns with a more
comprehensive set of instrumentation to investigate the role of NPF in the remote forest regions of North
America are essential for a deeper scientific
understanding of this important process and its role in the global aerosol
budget.

Abstract. This study assesses marine community production based on the diel
variability of bio-optical properties monitored by two BioGeoChemical-Argo
(BGC-Argo) floats. Experiments were conducted in two distinct Mediterranean
systems, the northwestern Ligurian Sea and the central Ionian Sea, during
summer months. We derived particulate organic carbon (POC) stock and gross
community production integrated within the surface, euphotic and subsurface
chlorophyll maximum (SCM) layers, using an existing approach applied to diel
cycle measurements of the particulate beam attenuation (cp) and
backscattering (bbp) coefficients. The diel cycle of cp provided a
robust proxy for quantifying biological production in both systems; that of
bbp was comparatively less robust. Derived primary production estimates
vary by a factor of 2 depending upon the choice of the bio-optical
relationship that converts the measured optical coefficient to POC, which is
thus a critical step to constrain. Our results indicate a substantial
contribution to the water column production of the SCM layer (16 %–42 %),
which varies largely with the considered system. In the Ligurian Sea, the SCM
is a seasonal feature that behaves as a subsurface biomass maximum (SBM)
with the ability to respond to episodic abiotic forcing by increasing
production. In contrast, in the Ionian Sea, the SCM is permanent, primarily
induced by phytoplankton photoacclimation, and contributes moderately to
water column production. These results clearly demonstrate the strong
potential for transmissometers deployed on BGC-Argo profiling floats to
quantify non-intrusively in situ biological production of organic carbon in the
water column of stratified oligotrophic systems with recurring or permanent
SCMs, which are widespread features in the global ocean.

Abstract. Monitoring the thermal state of permafrost (TSP) is
important in many environmental science and engineering applications.
However, such data are generally unavailable, mainly due to the lack of
ground observations and the uncertainty of traditional physical models. This
study produces novel permafrost datasets for the Northern Hemisphere (NH),
including predictions of the mean annual ground temperature (MAGT) at the
depth of zero annual amplitude (DZAA) (approximately 3 to 25 m) and active
layer thickness (ALT) with 1 km resolution for the period of 2000–2016, as
well as estimates of the probability of permafrost occurrence and permafrost
zonation based on hydrothermal conditions. These datasets integrate
unprecedentedly large amounts of field data (1002 boreholes for MAGT and
452 sites for ALT) and multisource geospatial data, especially remote
sensing data, using statistical learning modeling with an ensemble
strategy. Thus, the resulting data are more accurate than those of previous
circumpolar maps (bias = 0.02±0.16 ∘C and RMSE = 1.32±0.13 ∘C for MAGT; bias = 2.71±16.46 cm and
RMSE = 86.93±19.61 cm for ALT). The datasets suggest that the areal
extent of permafrost (MAGT ≤0 ∘C) in the NH, excluding
glaciers and lakes, is approximately 14.77 (13.60–18.97) × 106 km2 and that the areal extent of permafrost regions (permafrost
probability >0) is approximately 19.82×106 km2. The areal fractions of humid, semiarid/subhumid, and arid permafrost regions are 51.56 %, 45.07 %, and 3.37 %, respectively. The
areal fractions of cold (≤-3.0 ∘C), cool (−3.0 ∘C
to −1.5 ∘C), and warm (>-1.5 ∘C)
permafrost regions are 37.80 %, 14.30 %, and 47.90 %, respectively.
These new datasets based on the most comprehensive field data to date
contribute to an updated understanding of the thermal state and zonation of
permafrost in the NH. The datasets are potentially useful for various
fields, such as climatology, hydrology, ecology, agriculture, public health,
and engineering planning. All of the datasets are published through the
National Tibetan Plateau Data Center (TPDC), and the link is https://doi.org/10.11888/Geocry.tpdc.271190 (Ran et al.,

Abstract. The weak-wind stable boundary layer (wwSBL) is poorly described by theory and breaks basic assumptions necessary for observations of turbulence. Understanding the wwSBL requires distributed observations capable of separating between sub-mesoscales and turbulent scales. To this end, we present the Large eddy Observatory, Voitsumra Experiment 2019 (LOVE19) which featured 2105 m of fiber-optic distributed sensing (FODS) of air temperature and wind speed, as well as an experimental wind direction method, at scales as fine as 1 s and 0.127 m in addition to a suite of point observations of turbulence and ground-based remote sensing profiling. Additionally, flights with a fiber-optic cable attached to a tethered balloon (termed FlyFOX, Flying Fiber Optics eXperiment) provide an unprecedentedly detailed view of the boundary layer structure with a resolution of 0.254 m and 10 s between 1 and 200 m height. Two examples are provided, demonstrating the unique capabilities of the LOVE19 data for examining boundary layer processes: (1) FODS observations between 1 and 200 m height during a period of gravity waves propagating across the entire boundary layer and (2) tracking a near-surface, transient, sub-mesoscale structure that causes an intermittent burst of turbulence. All data can be accessed at Zenodo through the DOI https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4312976 (Lapo et al., 2020a).

Published: February 2022

Abstract. Bed-material sediment particle size data, particularly the median sediment particle size (D50), are critical for understanding and modeling
riverine sediment transport. However, sediment particle size observations are primarily available at individual sites. Large-scale modeling and
assessment of riverine sediment transport are limited by the lack of continuous regional maps of bed-material sediment particle size. We hence
present a map of D50 over the contiguous US in a vector format that corresponds to approximately 2.7 million river segments (i.e., flowlines) in the
National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus) dataset. We develop the map in four steps: (1) collect and process the observed D50 data from 2577
U.S. Geological Survey stations or U.S. Army Corps of Engineers sampling locations; (2) collocate these data with the NHDPlus flowlines based on
their geographic locations, resulting in 1691 flowlines with collocated D50 values; (3) develop a predictive model using the eXtreme Gradient
Boosting (XGBoost) machine learning method based on the observed D50 data and the corresponding climate, hydrology, geology, and other attributes
retrieved from the NHDPlus dataset; and (4) estimate the D50 values for flowlines without observations using the XGBoost predictive model. We expect
this map to be useful for various purposes, such as research in large-scale river sediment transport using model- and data-driven approaches,
teaching environmental and earth system sciences, planning and managing floodplain zones, etc. The map is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4921987

Abstract. OCTOPUS v.2 is an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant web-enabled database that allows users to visualise, query, and download cosmogenic radionuclide, luminescence, and radiocarbon ages and denudation rates associated with erosional landscapes, Quaternary depositional landforms and archaeological records, along with ancillary geospatial (vector and raster) data layers. The database follows the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles and is based on open-source software deployed on Google Cloud Platform. Data stored in the database can be visualised, queried, and downloaded via a custom-built web interface and via desktop GIS applications that support OGC data access protocols. OCTOPUS v.2 hosts five major data collections. CRN Denudation and ExpAge consist of published cosmogenic 10Be and 26Al measurements in modern fluvial sediment and glacial samples, respectively. Both collections have a global extent and in addition to geospatial vector layers, the former also includes raster layers, including digital elevation model, gradient raster, flow-direction and flow-accumulation rasters, atmospheric pressure raster, and CRN production scaling and topographic shielding factor rasters. SahulSed consists of published optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) ages for fluvial, aeolian, and lacustrine sedimentary records across the Australian mainland and Tasmania. SahulArch consists of published OSL, TL, and radiocarbon ages for archaeological records and FosSahul consists of published late Quaternary records of direct and indirect non-human vertebrate (mega)fauna fossil ages that have been systematically quality rated. Supporting data are comprehensive and include bibliographic, contextual, and sample preparation and measurement related information. In the case of cosmogenic radionuclide data, OCTOPUS also includes all necessary information and input files for the recalculation of denudation rates using the open-source program CAIRN. OCTOPUS v.2 and its associated data curation framework allow the harnessing of valuable legacy data that would otherwise be lost to the research community. The database can be accessed at https://octopusdata.org (last access: 30 January 2022). The individual data collections can also be accessed via their respective digital object identifiers (DOIs).
