S2P3-R v2.0: computationally efficient modelling of shelf seas on regional to global scales
Authors: Halloran Paul R. , McWhorter Jennifer K. , Arellano Nava Beatriz , Marsh Robert , Skirving William
Published: October 2021

Abstract. The marine impacts of climate change on our societies
will be largely felt through coastal waters and shelf seas. These impacts
involve sectors as diverse as tourism, fisheries and energy production.
Projections of future marine climate change come from global models.
Modelling at the global scale is required to capture the feedbacks and
large-scale transport of physical properties such as heat, which occur
within the climate system, but global models currently cannot provide detail
in the shelf seas. Version 2 of the regional implementation of the Shelf Sea
Physics and Primary Production (S2P3-R v2.0) model bridges the gap between
global projections and local shelf-sea impacts. S2P3-R v2.0 is a highly
simplified coastal shelf model, computationally efficient enough to be run
across the shelf seas of the whole globe. Despite the simplified nature of
the model, it can display regional skill comparable to state-of-the-art
models, and at the scale of the global (excluding high latitudes) shelf seas it
can explain >50 % of the interannual sea surface temperature (SST) variability in
∼60 % of grid cells and >80 % of interannual
variability in ∼20 % of grid cells. The model can be run at
any resolution for which the input data can be supplied, without expert
technical knowledge, and using a modest off-the-shelf computer. The
accessibility of S2P3-R v2.0 places it within reach of an array of coastal
managers and policy makers, allowing it to be run routinely once set up and
evaluated for a region under expert guidance. The computational efficiency
and relative scientific simplicity of the tool make it ideally suited to
educational applications. S2P3-R v2.0 is set up to be driven directly with
output from reanalysis products or daily atmospheric output from climate
models such as those which contribute to the sixth phase of the Climate Model
Intercomparison Project, making it a valuable tool for semi-dynamical
downscaling of climate projections. The updates introduced into version 2.0
of this model are primarily focused around the ability to geographical
relocate the model, model usability and speed but also scientific
improvements. The value of this model comes from its computational
efficiency, which necessitates simplicity. This simplicity leads to several
limitations, which are discussed in the context of evaluation at regional
and global scales.
Impact of lateral groundwater flow on hydrothermal conditions of the active layer in a high-Arctic hillslope setting
Authors: Hamm Alexandra , Frampton Andrew
Published: October 2021

Abstract. Modeling the physical state of permafrost landscapes is a crucial addition to field observations in order to understand the feedback mechanisms between permafrost and the atmosphere within a warming climate. A common hypothesis in permafrost modeling is that vertical heat conduction is most relevant to derive subsurface temperatures. While this approach is mostly applicable to flat landscapes with little topography, landscapes with more topography are subject to lateral flow processes as well. With our study, we contribute to the growing body of evidence that lateral surface and subsurface processes can have a significant impact on permafrost temperatures and active layer properties. We use a numerical model to simulate two idealized hillslopes (a steep and a medium case) with inclinations that can be found in Adventdalen, Svalbard, and compare them to a flat control case. We find that ground temperatures within the active layer uphill are generally warmer than downhill in both slopes (with a difference of up to ∼0.8 ∘C in the steep and ∼0.6 ∘C in the medium slope). Further, the slopes are found to be warmer in the uphill section and colder in the base of the slopes compared to the flat control case. As a result, maximum thaw depth increases by about 5 cm from the flat (0.98 m) to the medium (1.03 m) and the steep slope (1.03 m). Uphill warming on the slopes is explained by overall lower heat capacity, additional energy gain through infiltration, and lower evaporation rates due to drier conditions caused by subsurface runoff. The major governing process causing the cooling on the downslope side is heat loss to the atmosphere through evaporation in summer and enhanced heat loss in winter due to wetter conditions and resulting increased thermal conductivity. On a catchment scale, these results suggest that temperature distributions in sloped terrain can vary considerably compared to flat terrain, which might impact the response of subsurface hydrothermal conditions to ongoing climate change.
EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA, LINGUAGEM E EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: UMA APROXIMAÇÃO COM PAULO FREIRE
Authors: Farias Uirá de Siqueira , Maldonado Daniel Teixeira , Rodrigues Graciele Massoli
Published: October 2021

Esse ensaio foi produzido na perspectiva de defender a ideia de que as aulas de Educação Física "com" a Educação Infantil podem possibilitar que as crianças leiam criticamente o mundo a partir da problematização de uma ecologia de saberes, construídos historicamente, sobre as práticas corporais e o corpo. Além disso, problematizamos a relação entre movimento e gesto, defendendo que a gestualidade humana é dotada de significados, sendo compreendida e ressignificada de acordo com a cultura dos praticantes das danças, ginásticas, esportes, lutas, jogos e brincadeiras. Por fim, mostramos que esse avanço epistemológico da área se deu, dentre muitas particularidades, pela fundamentação teórica freireana de leitura do mundo, principalmente, devido a esse componente curricular estar inserido na área de Linguagens na Educação Básica.

Over the past 20 years, various alternative cervical minimally invasive (partly endoscopically assisted) and extracervical endoscopic (partly robot-assisted) approaches have been developed. All of these alternative access methods aim at optimizing the cosmetic results. In principle, the indication for the use of alternative access procedures does not differ from that for conventional surgery. Nonetheless, appropriate experience in traditional thyroid surgery and suitable patient selection, taking into account thyroid volumes and the underlying pathology, are important prerequisites. General contraindications for an alternative approach are large goiter with symptoms of compression, advanced thyroid carcinoma, recurrent interventions or previous radiotherapy in the operating area. The alternative surgical approaches to the thyroid can be divided into cervical minimally invasive, extracervical endoscopic (robot-assisted) and transoral procedures. This article gives an overview of the clinically used alternative approaches in thyroid surgery. The desire for an optimal cosmetic result should not be prioritized over patient safety. Only a few alternative procedures (minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy, transaxillary robot-assisted thyroidectomy) can currently be viewed as a useful addition to conventional thyroid surgery, even when in responsible, experienced hands for a selected group of patients.

Background and Aim of the Study: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are among the most common articular injuries in sports and can be responsible for knee instability and reduced articular performance. Treatment can be either conservative or operative, and ligament reconstruction may be carried out using biological autologous grafts or synthetic materials. Several studies have sought to evaluate and compare functional results in treated patients. However, there is still very limited information available on long-term follow-up and clinical outcomes are generally evaluated only using subjective scores. In this study, we assessed long-term functional and biomechanical results in patients treated with biologic and synthetic ligaments using objective measures. Materials and Methods: Patients were divided according to whether ACL reconstruction was biologic or synthetic. The Tegner activity scale was used before and after surgery. Post-operative subjective scores such as the IKDC Questionnaire and the Tegner-Lysholm score were also recorded. The Y Balance Test was used to assess global stability and mobility of the lower limb. Kinematic Rapid Assessment (KiRA) was used to evidence and estimate ligamentous laxity during the Pivot Shift and Lachman tests. Results: Clinical subjective patient and operator-dependent scores as well as objective biomechanical findings were similar and comparable in patients treated with biologic and synthetic reconstructions after more than 10 years of use. Conclusions: Both synthetic and biological tendon grafts may represent good reconstructive approaches to treat torn ACLs, and remain effective even for a long period of time if implanted in suitable target patients.

Introduction: The objective was to compare the two-year ultrasonographic outcomes in a consecutive series of patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture (ATr), either treated surgically or nonoperatively. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective, single-center, consecutive series. All patients presenting with acute ATr were included and divided into two groups: surgical or nonoperative groups. At two years, patients were evaluated clinically and sonographically. The parameters studied were length of the tendon on the rupture side (LTCR) and on the contralateral side (LTCS), ratio LTCR/LTCS, maximum anteroposterior diameter on the rupture side (DAPMR), maximum surface area on the rupture side (SMR), maximum anteroposterior diameter on the contralateral side (DAPMS), and maximum surface area on the contralateral side (SMS). Morphological changes in tendon structure were reported. Results: Thirty patients were included. No difference in functional score was observed between both groups. In the nonoperative group, there is a significant difference between: LTCR and LTCS; DAPMR and DAPMS. In the surgical group, there is a significant difference between: LTCR and LTCS; DAPMR and DAPMS; SMR and SMS. There is a significant difference when comparing SMR/SMS between both groups. In terms of morphological changes in tendon structure, there were differences. Conclusion: At two years, there was no difference in functional outcomes between the two groups. In both groups, AT were lengthened and thickened without differences between groups. There was a significant difference when comparing the ratio SMR/SMS between groups. Ultrasound examination demonstrated different morphological changes in tendon structure depending on the treatment performed.

Published: October 2021

La presencia de toros con características seminales deficientes ocasiona fallas considerables en la eficiencia reproductiva de las unidades de producción, debido a la disminución del número de vacas preñadas, siendo más marcado en sistemas bajo programas de inseminación artificial (IA). Los rasgos de calidad seminal (CS) pueden constituir un criterio importante para la selección de machos reproductores utilizados en IA. La identificación de marcadores moleculares asociados con CS en el toro, podría facilitar la selección para estos rasgos. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la asociación de los polimorfismos del gen Leptina, sobre la CS de toros de la raza Carora. Se evaluaron las variables volumen de eyaculado (VE), motilidad masal (MM), motilidad individual (MI) y concentración espermática (CE) de 43 toros reproductores Carora, organizados en 8 grupos de edad. Los polimorfismos nucleotídicos simples (SNP) del gen Leptina evaluados fueron: rs29004487 (SNP1), rs29004488 (SNP2), rs29004501 (SNP3) y rs29004508 (SNP4). Se utilizó un análisis de varianza mediante un modelo lineal generalizado (GLM). El factor genotipo contó con 10 niveles y el factor edad, 8 niveles. No se observó efecto del SNP1 sobre ninguna de las variables evaluadas, mientras que el SNP3 tuvo un efecto significativo sobre la CE. Los SNP2 y SNP4 presentaron un efecto altamente significativo sobre la MI y CE. Finalmente, las variables VE y MM no fueron afectadas por ninguno de los SNP estudiados. Los resultados del presente estudio sugieren marcadores potenciales para la valoración y selección genética de bovinos reproductores.

What Did Playwright Arthur Miller Do to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice?
Authors: Marks Sylvia Kasey
Published: October 2021

abstract:

Radio drama was a popular form of entertainment in the late 1930s and early 1940s. While Arthur Miller was struggling to make a place for himself as a playwright, he found financial security and an outlet for his talent by writing radio plays. He adapted Helen Jerome's Broadway script of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice for an hour-long radio play broadcast on 18 November 1945. The radio play captures some of the essence of the novel, but it is not Jane Austen. Neither is it representative of the best of Arthur Miller. This essay suggests that if Miller had written his radio play after writing his major plays, he could have captured the depth of Pride and Prejudice. The motifs found in Miller's plays suggest that even with the simpler story required of a radio play, there are the makings of a stronger adaptation in Miller's mature hands.

Este estudo teve o objetivo de analisar as práticas e conhecimentos em administração de medicamentos por via intramuscular entre enfermeiros e auxiliares/ técnicos de enfermagem em unidades pré-hospitalares fixas de urgência de Goiânia-Go. Trata-se de um estudo de corte transversal, a pesquisa foi realizada no período de fevereiro a maio de 2014.Foi investigado os dados sócios demográficos, conhecimentos adquiridos na formação profissional e a prática clínica na execução das técnicas de administração de medicamento por via intramuscular (IM). Participaram do estudo 58 enfermeiros, 111 técnicos de enfermagem e sete auxiliares de enfermagem. Sendo 91,5% do sexo feminino com idade média entre 31 e 40 anos e 60,3% possuíam até 10 anos de atuação na enfermagem. O estudo mostrou que a administração do medicamento IM não são executadas de acordo com o preconizado na literatura, grande parte dos enfermeiros e auxiliares/ técnicos de enfermagem alegaram que os conhecimentos adquiridos durante a formação profissional em relação à administração de medicamento injetáveis por via IM foram insuficientes para a atuação na prática profissional. As regiões mais utilizadas para a administração de medicamento IM foram a dorso glútea em crianças e adultos e a vasto lateral da coxa em recémnascidos e lactentes. A pouca adesão dos profissionais de enfermagem, na administração de medicamentos na região ventro glútea foi justificada pela insegurança na execução da técnica e pela falta de conhecimentos na identificação correta do local.

Authors: Stoyanov Valeri
Published: October 2021

Using the methodological approach of qualitative research to conduct empirical research in the social sciences, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students' experiences of the present and their projections for the future is revealed. The results show that many of them find positives from social isolation in the opportunity to pay more attention to the people important to them and to work more purposefully on their own development. On the other hand, serious fears are revealed, the main of which is for the health and life of their loved ones, as well as for the future, for their career development and realization. They find it difficult to tolerate social isolation and most of them experience their mental state as shaky, as depressed. In general, students have a negative attitude towards distance learning – online, considering it inferior to face-to-face training and assess this training as a risk to their professional development and subsequent realization in the labor market.

Os serviços de saúde mental vêm passando por prejuízos e perdas na garantia da assistência integral aos usuários, por conta da pandemia da COVID-19. Este estudo trata-se de um relato de experiência sobre a vivência e sentimentos de perdas de um educador, técnico e acadêmico de Enfermagem, durante a pandemia da COVID-19, em um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) de um município da região sul do estado da Bahia, Brasil, no ano de 2020.  Durante a referida pandemia, observaram-se perdas em trabalhos que vinham sendo realizados no CAPS, por conta do fechamento do serviço, no início, e depois abertura apenas para consulta médica, produzindo afastamento dos usuários de acompanhamento diário. Essa situação concorreu para agudização de sintomas esperados durante a pandemia, assim como, para situações de emergências psiquiátricas, sentimento de desamparo e morte, implicando em descontinuidade de práticas de cuidado e ressurgimento de processos medicalizantes na atenção psicossocial. A atenção multidisciplinar passou a ser substituída pela centralidade do cuidado na figura do médico e medicações, afetando a promoção da saúde mental. Conclui-se, pela experiência, que se torna emergente a educação permanente das equipes dos CAPS, frente aos desafios e enfrentamento de pandemias, para melhor assistir a todos que vierem a precisar de assistência e que esta seja qualificada e humanizada. Assim, a educação permanente da equipe, pode ser o ponto de partida para resistências e retomada da invenção de novas práticas em saúde mental, que dá ênfase à vida, sem reduzi-la ao diagnóstico ou sintomas.

Published: October 2021

In this study, mints were regenerated from calluses irradiated by γ - rays (Co-60) at doses from 0 to 70 Gy. After 4 times of propagation, the M1V4 mints were transferred in a greenhouse for assessments of growth, development and essential oil content. Mint regenerated from calluses irradiated at low doses (0, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 Gy) showed no morphological difference compared to the control plants. However, low-dose irradiated mints showed better effect on growth and development, and mints regenerated from 6Gy-irradiated sample had essential oil content with 1.3 times higher than that of control group. In case of plants irradiated at higher dose (30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 Gy), there were morphological variations such as stem become bigger and color of stem become purple. Especially, samples irradiated at 60 Gy showed better in growth, development and essential oil content (1.34 times higher than the control plants) and these characters were stable in M1V4. Among the irradiated mints, purple stem variations had the highest essential oil yield with 1.7 times higher than that of the original plants.
Evaluation of VVER-1200/V-491 Reactor Pressure Vessel integrity during large break LOCA along with SBO using MELCOR 1.8.6
Authors: Bui Thi Hoa , Tran Chi Thanh
Published: October 2021

After Fukushima accident and stress test recommended by IAEA for existing reactors, higher safety requirements are enforced upon nuclear power plants during design extension and severe accident conditions. Based on those arguments, Vietnam Government requests a lot of effective safety solutions, in designs proposed for the nuclear power plants in Ninh Thuan province of Vietnam, which can prevent the accident progression toward severe accidents and mitigate severe accident consequences. One of safety requirements is related to delay time of core melt during design extension condition. Especially, if the worst case of accidents occurs, the reactor vessel integrity must be maintained at least 24 hours from the beginning of the accident. With the aim at investigation of Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) integrity, in this study, MELCOR 1.8.6 code is used to evaluate the integrity of RPV lower head for VVER-1200/V-491 reactor during a Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident (LBLOCA) in combination with Station Blackout (SBO) event. The study figures out several parameters related to melt down progress such as: rupture position and rupture timing, the amount of hydrogen generated. Availability of the second stage hydro-accumulators (HA2) in the VVER-1200/V-491 is assumed as an additional improvement to delay the timing of core melt as well as to maintain the vessel integrity for long-term.

Objetivos. Realizar una revisión bibliográfica para responder a la pregunta: ¿Existe diferencia entre el método de evaluación vértebras cervicales de Baccetti y carpal de Fishman para determinar el pico máximo de crecimiento humano. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó una búsqueda en dos bases de datos (PubMed, y SciELO), en la que se seleccionaron estudios (2000-2020) que compararon uno o ambos métodos de evaluación para determinar pico de crecimiento. En la primera etapa de selección se obtuvieron 248 artículos. Finalmente, se incluyeron 8 artículos para la revisión. Resultados: Del total de estudios evaluados, 6 presentaron un alto nivel de correlación entre los métodos examinados y solo 2 definen una correlación moderadamente positiva.Conclusiones. Existe correlación entre los dos métodos de evaluación para la identificación del pico máximo de crecimiento. Se encontró que la valoración de la edad vertebral en las radiografías laterales de cráneo mediante el método de Baccetti, ha demostrado ser estadísticamente fiable, valido y clínicamente útil reduciendo la necesidad de una sobreexposición radiográfica para una evaluación carpal.

Authors: Bhurayanontachai Rungsun
Published: October 2021

COVID-19 is currently a global pandemic that cause high morbidity and mortality, particularly in the critical cases. The common presentation is among the common respiratory symptoms and could be deteriorated to multiple organ failure. From the previous epidemiologic study, approximate 15% of cases developed pneumonia and 5% required intensive care admission. The optimal respiratory care including oxygen support are the key for hypoxic respiratory failure from severe COVID-19. Several devices have been practically suggested for respiratory symptoms included high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), non-invasive positive pressure ventilator (NIV) via either common facial mask or helmet. However, some patients did not improve with those devices, that become more respiratory distress and eventually required intubation and mechanical ventilator support. In this brief review, the author will pay attention on the mechanical ventilator support and prone positioning for COVID-19 pneumonia.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for COVID-19 patients

Published: October 2021

During the current outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) support could be considered as the rescue treatment from life threatening condition among severe COVID-19 patients who did not respond to mechanical ventilation. We propose that veno-venous ECMO should be considered if patient has persistence PaO2:FiO2 ratio lower than 100 mmHg after appropriate mechanical ventilator adjustment, muscle relaxant and prone position. During ECMO support, treatment against cytokine storm, including non-selective immune suppression with systemic steroid, or selective interleukin-6 inhibition and Janus Kinase inhibition should be considered. Heparin infusion is still the recommended anticoagulant to maintain activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ratio range 1.5-2.0. The overall hospital mortality was comparable with respiratory failure patients, requiring ECMO support from other causes, which was reported about 37-50%. The decision to initiate ECMO could be depended on the individual hospital capacity and treatment availability.

Se realizó una intervención en una comunidad de escasos recursos, la cual se ha formado recientemente producto de un programa de vivienda popular; con el objetivo de ayudar a los miembros de esta nueva comunidad con la integración, organización, establecimiento de prioridades y resolución de problemas. Mediante talleres que abordaron los temas sugeridos  por los miembros y considerados como los más importantes para estos se establecieron objetivos que permitieron categorizar las problemáticas por áreas, explorar los recursos con los que cuenta la comunidad, construir lineamientos generales de planificación y reflexionar sobre la importancia de la perseverancia.  Se presentaron dificultades tales como, diferencias entre los participantes, el hecho de darse rápidamente por vencido al no lograr los objetivos, la falta de participación y empoderamiento junto con el desconocimiento del sistema burocrático. Se logró motivar a los miembros de la comunidad para participar y no depender o criticar a aquellos miembros que sí asumen tareas y responsabilidades, además del aprendizaje para lograr priorizar y organizarse. Para los estudiantes también significó un desafío y una experiencia valiosa en el proceso educativo. En la evaluación final la comunidad mostró satisfacción con las sesiones y lo aprendido.

Mindfulness se define como estar atento y consciente de lo que está ocurriendo en el presente. Este estudio es resultado de una práctica de estudiantes en un curso de Licenciatura. Fue desarrollada una Escala de Mindfulness en el Trabajo (EMT) y se analizaron algunas de sus propiedades psicométricas. Ochenta adultos de 20 a 50 años de edad, 55% mujeres, contestaron la EMT y la versión mexicana de la escala de atención plena MAAS. La validez de contenido se obtuvo mediante evaluación por expertos y entrevista cognitiva. La confiabilidad fue examinada por medio del alfa de Cronbach ( = .84). La validez de constructo se evaluó por evidencia de homogeneidad de reactivos, resultando en 22 ítems que presentaban correlación de Spearman significativa con el total de la prueba, y por evidencia convergente mediante correlación de Pearson (.65; p < .001) entre las dos escalas estudiadas. Los resultados sugieren que la EMT presenta evidencias de confiabilidad y de validez de constructo, pero requiere importantes modificaciones. Se presentan reflexiones sobre el proceso de construcción de instrumentos psicológicos.
