Published: April 2023

Background: West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne virus that causes a febrile disease and may cause a fatal neurological illness in humans. We aimed to investigate the geographic distribution of Culicinae mosquitoes and their possible infection with WNV in Hormozgan Province, southern Iran.
Methods: Field studies were carried out from June 2017 to May 2019. Different mosquito sampling methods were used monthly to collect mosquitoes from 22 sites. The Real-Time PCR technique was used to detect the virus infection in the mosquitoes.
Results: Overall, 6165 mosquitoes were caught. The species were Culex theileri (33.25%), Cx. pipiens (20.45%), Cx. quinquefasciatus (10.51%), Aedes caspius (6.33%), Cx. tritaeniorhynchus (5.82%), Ae. vexans (4.10%), Cx. sinaiticus (3.62%), Cx. antennatus (3.29%), Culiseta longiareolata (2.81%), Cx. perexiguus (2.03%), Cs. subochrea (1.95%), Cx.  mimeticus (1.49%), Cx. pusillus (1.38%), Cx. univittatus (1.27%), Cx.  modestus (1.14%), and Cx.  sitiens (0.57%). The molecular detection of virus infection in mosquitoes found to be negative for WNV.
Conclusion: The presence of many species of mosquito vectors and high population traffic increase the risk of disease transmission is very high. Therefore, the way to restrict WNV infection factors is increasing the knowledge for personal protection measures to prevent mosquito bites.

Published: April 2023

Background: The liver flukes of the Fasciola species and Dicrocoelium spp. are recognised as parasites of domestic and wild herbivores. Both species of F. hepatica and F. gigantica as well as D. dendriticum are distributed in Iran. The present study aimed to identify Fasciola spp. and Dicrocoelium spp. using mitochondrial Cox1 (cytochrome c oxidase I) gene by HRM method.
Methods: Totally, thirty infected liver specimens were collected from the sheep (n:23) and cattle (n:7) at the abattoirs of Qazvin Province, northwest Iran in 2022. DNA extraction and PCR amplification of Cox1 gene were conducted by HRM technique. DnaSP v.5.0 was used for compression of diversity indices of ribosomal 28S rDNA and mitochondrial Cox1 markers of Dicrocoelium spp. The taxonomic status of Dicrocoelium spp. was performed by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.
Results: Overall, 26 and 4 isolates were identified as F. hepatica and F. gigantica, respectively. D. dendriticum was the sole infecting species of Dicrocoelium revealed by HRM analysis. Genomic analysis showed a moderate (28S rDNA genes: 0.600±0.215) to high (Cox1: 0.733±0.155) haplotype diversity for D. dendriticum.
Conclusion: The parasite-dependent mitochondrial gene (Cox1) could identify a higher genetic diversity of D. dendriticum compared to nuclear 28S rDNA gene. HRM technique in the present study found to be a reliable technique for identification and genetic diversity of liver flukes but more comprehensive and in-depth studies in different parts of the country are needed.

Published: April 2023

Background: Obesity is one of the major public health concerns, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the effect of human development index on the prevalence of obesity across 152 countries.
Methods: Country-level data on obesity prevalence and its influencing variables related to 152 countries were obtained during 2000-2019 from several sources. A Spatial Bayesian Hierarchical model was employed in this research, and the analyses were performed using R statistical software (version 3.6.1).
Results: We found a positive relation between HDI and obesity prevalence, in such a way if low HDI countries advance to high HDI countries, the obesity rate is expected to increase significantly by 7.45%. Moreover, the association between obesity prevalence and the percentage of people aged 40-59 (β=0.07), urbanization rate (β=0.11), percentage of internet users (β=0.01), percentage of alcohol users (β=0.16), milk consumption per capita (β=0.15) and Percentage of depression (β=0.58) was significantly positive. Conversely, per capita consumption of fruits and vegetables (β=-0.15), and smoking rate (β=-0.02) was negatively associated with obesity prevalence.
Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity is growing across all countries, especially in the countries with high and very high HDI. Therefore, policymakers must also pay attention to the negative effects of development when trying to improve the welfare of society.

Published: April 2023

Background: Many studies have been done to identify the factors that influence the development and progression of osteoporosis. One genetic factor is polymorphisms of LRP4 gene. Regarding the lack of comprehensive study on polymorphisms of LRP4 gene in the north of Iran, mainly Mazandaran Province, we decided to investigate the polymorphism of this gene in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
Methods: This case-control study has been conducted at GhaemShahr Valiasr Hospital on 100 female patients with osteoporosis (average age of 58.1) and 90 healthy females without osteoporosis (average age of 55.2). After sampling and extraction of genomic DNA via of the salt deposition method, the genotype and SNP (rs9667108) polymorphism of LRP4 gene were evaluated with the PCR-RFLP method. Restriction enzymes cut the PCR products. In order to identify patients, their bone mineral density was tested by the DEXA method .The results of digestion (digestion enzyme) were analyzed by MedCalc, SPSS software, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and Chi2.
Results: The statistical analysis has shown the significant relationship between SNP (rs9667108) polymorphism and the risk of osteoporosis disease in patients and control groups (P<0.05). In SNP (rs9667108), the GC genotype, compared to GG, increased the risk of disease significantly (1.556 time). Similarly, CC genotype, compared to GG genotype, increased the risk of this disease by 2.091 time.
Conclusion: The existence of mutation in the LRP4 gene could increase susceptibility to osteoporosis disease. Moreover, determining this patient's genotype in SNP (rs9667108) can be used to identify individuals who are in endanger osteoporosis.

Published: April 2023

Background: Cancer stem cells (CSC), as responsible issues to cancer development and progression, play a crucial role in tumorigenesis, recurrence, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Both hyperthermia and photodynamic therapy (PDT) may be effective for cancer treatment, particularly when combined with other therapeutic approaches. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hyperthermia combined with PDT on colorectal CSC and the gene expression of the CSC markers, presenting a more effective approach for cancer therapy.
Methods: The study was conducted in the Pasteur institute of Iran, Tehran, Iran in 2018. We evaluated the anticancer role of hyperthermia, Gold nanoparticles coated with curcumin (Cur-GNPs) in PDT and combination of the two approaches on cell viability and the expression of CSC markers, Nanog and Oct4 in colorectal cancer cell line HT-29. The cytotoxicity effect of Cur-GNPs against the cells was assessed in vitro. The cell viability was assessed using MTT assay, and the expression analysis of the CSC genes was evaluated using a q-real-time PCR.
Results: Cell viability was decreased by PDT (P=0.015) and the combination therapy (P=0.006) but not by hyperthermia alone (P=0.4), compared to control. Also, the expression of CSC markers, Nanog and Oct4 was shown to significantly down-regulate in all hyperthermia, PDT and combination groups.
Conclusion: Hyperthermia combined with PDT was indicated to be more efficient in eliminating tumors than hyperthermia or PDT alone.

Differences between living and deceased donation in human uterus transplantation: A narrative review
Authors: Taherkhani Sakineh
Published: April 2023

The decision to use a living or deceased donor to perform uterus transplantation (UTx) is an evaluation of benefit and harm and is based on the medical team’s choices. The current study determines the differences between living and deceased donation in human UTx according to determinant factors in choosing the donor type. For this review study, the PubMed database was searched without time, language, and location limitations up to May 2022. From 113 identified articles, 45 papers were included in the study for review. According to the results, in comparison to living donation, the biggest advantage of deceased donation is the lack of surgical and or psychological risks for the donor. In contrast, a comprehensive pre-transplantation medical assessment is less possible in deceased donation, and preplanned surgery cannot be realized. According to published peer-reviewed clinical trials on UTx, the graft failure rates in living and deceased donor UTx are 21% and 36%, respectively. Supposing all recipients who did not have graft failure underwent embryo transfer, live birth rates in living and deceased donor UTx procedures are almost 63% and 71%, respectively. Currently, considering the occurrence of live births from both donations, particularly from nulliparous deceased donors, increased demand for UTx in the near future, shortage of uterus grafts, and lack of sufficient data for a comprehensive comparison between the 2 types of donation, the use of both donations still seems necessary and rational.

Uterine artery Doppler and endometrial blood flow in frozen embryo transfer: A cohort study
Authors: Bahrami Fereshteh , Eftekhar Maryam , Zanbagh Leila
Published: April 2023

Background: The implantation rate after assisted reproductive technology depends on 2 important factors, good quality embryo and endometrial receptivity. Endometrial receptivity is mainly assessed by ultrasound measurement of endometrial thickness and morphology.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between uterine artery Doppler indices/endometrial perfusion and pregnancy rate.
Materials and Methods: This cohort study was done on 250 women who were candidates for frozen embryo transfer from January 2021 to July 2022. For assessing endometrial receptivity, we performed a Doppler ultrasound of the uterus before embryo transfer with apparently desirable endometrium (endometrial thickness ≥ 7 mm and 3 line endometrial pattern). In addition, the women were divided into 2 groups according to assisted reproductive technology outcome (clinical pregnancy), group I positive clinical pregnancy, and group II negative clinical pregnancy, and uterine artery indices and endometrial perfusion were compared between these groups.
Results: Uterine artery Doppler showed that the pulsatility index was significantly different between positive and negative clinical pregnancy groups, but resistance index and peak systolic velocity (PSV) did not have statistically significant differences. Also, endometrial perfusion was significantly different between the 2 groups of clinical pregnancy. Endometrial perfusion was significantly better in positive clinical pregnancy groups.
Conclusion: Doppler ultrasound can help to assess endometrial receptivity.

Trans differentiating human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells into male germlike cells utilizing Rabbit Sertoli cells: An experimental study
Authors: Khudair Alaa Mutee’ , Alzaharna Mazen Medhat , Sharif Fadel Akram
Published: April 2023

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are deemed as potential new therapeutic agents for infertility treatment and adipose tissue (AT) becomes a potential MSCs source. To direct MSCs through the differentiation process properly, an environment comparable to the in vivo niche might be indispensable.
Objective: This study aims to differentiate human AT-derived MScs (hAD-MScs) into male germ-like cells in vitro using a combination of rabbit Sertoli cells conditioned medium (SCCM), bone morphogenetic protein 4, and retinoic acid.
Materials and Methods: MScs were isolated from human ATs of fertile and infertile donors. The verified MScs were differentiated using a 2-step protocol; the first step included 20 ng/ml bone morphogenetic protein 4 treatment. The second step was performed utilizing 1 μM retinoic acid and/or SCCM. The morphological changes and the expression of germ cell (GC)-specific markers: octamer-binding transcription factor- 4; stimulated by retinoic-acid-8, synaptonemal complex protein-3, and protamine-1 were assessed in the treated cells using quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
Results: Induction of hAD-MScs resulted in the upregulation of GC-specific genes where SCCM treatment showed the highest expression. The synaptonemal complex protein-3 and protamine-1 gene expression was detected after 19 and 26 days of induction, respectively. PRM1 was detected in hAD-MScs cultured in SCCM earlier than in other treated groups. The treated cells became more elongated-like spindles and formed aggregates.
Conclusion: hAD-MScs differentiated to GC lineage exhibited the ability to express GC-specific markers under in vitro conditions, and rabbit’s Sertoli cells can be used for inducing transdifferentiation of hAD-MScs into germ-like cells.

Authors: Uwejigho Raphael Eguono , Iteire Kingsley Afoke , Enemali Felix Udawmojo
Published: April 2023

Background: Aerva lanata, a herb used as food and also consumed as a tonic by pregnant women to relieve stomach pains and prevent miscarriage. In addition to other characterized properties, it possesses antifertility and anti-implantation activities.
Objective: This study investigates the testicular toxicity of the testes of offsprings of Dams treated with crude aqueous extract of Aerva lanata.
Materials and Methods: 25 pregnant Wistar rats (Dams) weighing 180-240 gr were randomly earmarked into 5 groups (n = 5/each). Group A served as control; groups B, C, D, and E received 200, 400, 800, and 1000 mg/kg body weight of Aerva lanata extract, respectively, beginning from 12th to 19th day of gestation. The pups (delivered of Dams) were weighed, observed, and sacrificed 6 wk post-parturition. The testes of the male pups were obtained for histological procedures the testis histology was examined.
Results: No gross malformation was observed in the treatment groups, the number of pups/litter was significantly reduced in group E (p = 0.01), pups weight analysis showed a significant reduction in groups C and E (p = 0.04, and 0.02 respectively), and the mean pup testes weight was significantly reduced in groups B, C, D, and E (p = 0.03, 0.03, 0.01, and < 0.001 respectively) when compared with control. Histologically, the treated pup testes tissues showed varying degrees of disruption and distortion of the cellular arrangements of the germinal epithelium in a dose-dependent manner compared to the control.
Conclusion: The study revealed a testicular toxicity and possibly antifertility role of Aerva lanata in dams’ pups.

Live birth rates in day 5 fresh versus vitrified single blastocyst transfer cycles: A cross-sectional analysis
Authors: Kieu Violet , Polyakov Alex , Rozen Genia , Lantsberg Daniel , Stern Catharyn , Teh Wan Tinn
Published: April 2023

Background: The use of frozen embryo transfers (FET) in assisted reproduction has increased worldwide. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in a fresh transfer may impair endometrial-embryo synchronicity. However, there is conflicting evidence on live birth rates (LBR) and clinical pregnancy rates (CPR).
Objective: To compare LBRs and CPRs between single autologous day 5 fresh vs. vitrified blastocyst transfer cycles, to investigate the impact of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation on embryo-endometrium asynchrony.
Materials and Methods: A large cross-sectional analysis of 6002 embryo transfers (ET) comprised 3774 fresh and 2228 FET cycles from 2016 to 2019. Multivariate and subgroup analysis were performed for high responders (> 20 oocytes).
Results: Univariate analysis showed no difference in LBR (28.3% vs. 27.4%, p = 0.43) and CPR (32.2% vs. 30.9%, p = 0.30); however, multivariate analysis demonstrated significantly lower LBR (OR 0.864, p = 0.046, 95% CI 0.749-0.997) and CPR (OR 0.852, p = 0.024, 95% CI 0.742-0.979) in FET compared to fresh ETs. Younger participant age, previous in vitro fertilization pregnancy, advanced blastocyst expansion, higher trophectoderm quality, and lower cumulative number of ETs all improved the odds of LBR and CPR. Conventional in vitro fertilization, rather than intracytoplasmic sperm injection, improved CPR but not LBR. Body mass index affected neither LBR nor CPR. In the subgroup, multivariate analysis of high responders showed no difference in LBR or CPR.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates relatively higher LBR and CPR of nearly 14% for fresh ETs compared to FETs, in multivariate analysis. A universal freeze-all strategy, without appropriate indication, may lead to suboptimal outcomes. In high responders, freeze-all cycles may be beneficial, as outcomes appear similar.

Published: April 2023

Background: Outcome prediction of participants treated with in-vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) using anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) concentration has been widely used. According to the patient-oriented strategies encompassing individualized oocyte number (POSEIDON) definition, low prognosis Bologna responders have changed from poor. This definition divides low prognosis into 4 groups.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess blood AMH levels in the group of women treated with IVF/ICSI who were thought to have a low prognosis.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study among 252 suspected lowprognosis group participants was assessed between January 2016 and December 2019 at Morula IVF, National hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Observed AMH serum levels and pregnancy rates were compared among 4 subgroups.
Results: The AMH cutoff value was 1.7 ng/mL with a sensitivity of 86.7% and a specificity of 70% for diagnosing low-prognosis women using POSEIDON criteria. There was no difference in the pregnancy rate between those groups (p-value > 0.05).
Conclusion: AMH levels may indicate a poor prognosis for women having IVF/ICSI in accordance with POSEIDON guidelines. To predict the poor prognosis in women, the cutoff value must be identified.

A successful twin healthy live birth achieved from eggs with a rare perivitelline space abnormality: A case report
Authors: Ferri Daniele , Baldini Domenico , Baldini Giorgio Maria
Published: April 2023

Background: Phenotypic dysmorphism is not rare to be found in the human oocyte, especially in the perivitelline space, which are among the most important aberration of the extra cytoplasmic component.
Case Presentation: The case is of a 30-yr-old woman with no previous pregnancy, attempting an in vitro fertilization treatment for the first time. Given the extraordinary quantity of granular particles found in the perivitelline space, visible after the stripping procedure, it was not possible to establish the presence and position of the first polar body to appreciate the correct oocyte maturation (metaphase 2). Nevertheless, all the eggs were injected by the intracytoplasmic sperm injection. A time lapse incubator was used to perform the entire culture. Hence, a record of 6 days culture video was obtained. Only 2 eggs could fertilize correctly and reach the blastocyst stage on day 6. The embryos were frozen and subsequently transferred as frozen embryo transfer following the next menstrual cycle.
Conclusion: The exceptional presence of granular particles in the perivitelline space, which reminds us for aspects and behavior of the granulosa cells, seems to affect the fertilization but not the blastocysts quality. As a matter of fact, the woman, after the embryo transfer, achieved a successful twin live birth.

As part of raising awareness and mitigating the impact of climate change on everyday life, municipalities are preparing their strategies and related action plans for climate neutrality and resilience. In these strategies, municipalities can significantly take into account their specificities and thus reduce vulnerability to the effects of climate change by implementing measures effective in their locality. As a basis for efficiency, comparability and the exchange of good practices, we propose a common abstract model of key performance indices and a common methodology that will enable the comparison of municipalities according to indicators of vulnerability and effectiveness of implemented measures. We illustrate the methodology on the indices of the health sector, which measure the effects of climate change on health. We focus on heat stress and prevalence of sick leave.

Sustainable development in all organisations is a necessity of today and tomorrow. In this paper we aim to link the importance of sustainable development through the prism of environmental management in relation to communication and communication in small businesses. It is undoubtedly true that communication in small businesses, as in all other organisations, is linked to both the internal and external environment and thus also to the specificities of the stakeholders. In the internal environment, communication is primarily employee-centred, while the external environment offers a wider variety, from customers, suppliers, competitors, the local environment, etc. This paper will touch upon the importance of both environments from the point of view of the managerial position and from the point of view of the relationships that are formed in the communication process.

In the first phase of retirement we fall into a sort of empty space. We no longerhave someone to assign us tasks and schedules. This is a period when every individual needs to take control over the organisation of their own time, find activities with which to fill their lives and give it a new meaning. A person entering retirement has many options to choose from as there are quite a few organizations offering different kinds of activities. The only challenge is that the data is scattered and therefore you spend a lot of time collecting all the relevant information, especially online. Information is also available directly with the Retiree Associations. The other providers are a bit harder to find. Some of them include the Third Age University and the Mature University within the Faculty of Arts of the University of Maribor, both offering information on their websites. There are also a few Sports associations for a healthy lifestyle and similar. Addressing the challenge of maintaining the physical and mental health of retirees has the potential to benefit the retiree population as well as society as a whole. How can we offer more to a retired person? Maybe one of the suggestions could be to develop a joint platform offering a wide range of possibilities.

Published: April 2023

The family of standards ISO /IEC 27000 represents the most comprehensive series of standards in the field of information security. Their advantage is their general applicability, as they can be implemented quickly and efficiently in any organisation, regardless of its sector or size. The ISO /IEC 27000 family provides organisations with a practical and established framework for information security assessment and certification. As a result, the use of these standards in practise is widespread globally. In 2022, the ISO /IEC 27000 family underwent significant changes, with two of the most important standards receiving new versions. A new version of ISO /IEC 27002 was published in February 2022, and ISO /IEC 27001 in October 2022. The revisions are very important for organisations implementing the requirements of the standards as part of information security management. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the changes introduced by the new versions ISO /IEC 27001:2022 and ISO /IEC 27002:2022 compared to the 2013 versions. We found that most of the changes were made to Annex A of the ISO /IEC 27001, which required a completely new structure for the ISO /IEC 27002. We have briefly summarized the impact of these changes on organizations applying these standards in their business operations.

Published: April 2023

Travel is an inseparable part of human life. It is connected not only with private life but also with business life. People want to travel more, farther and faster. That is why air transport is currently one of the fastest-growing areas of passenger transport, and airlines carry more and more passengers from year to year. Due to the growing negative impact of air transport on the natural environment, research aimed at the development of technologies to reduce the negative impact of air transport is becoming more and more important. One of the possibilities for improving the situation is the use of alternative energy sources, limiting the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The paper aimed to analyze the meaningfulness of replacing the classic power unit in a light transport aircraft with a hybrid, combustion-electric power unit. Analyzes were made with the use of simulation methods for the PZL M-28 aircraft.

Authors: Saputro Lucke Kharimah Pamungkas , Khairur Rijal Najamuddin
Published: April 2023

This article discusses the long-lasting problem of the Indonesian practice of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) among Muslim communities. With the purpose to identify the religious and medical rationalization of the FGM/C practice and if it needs to be re-evaluated. The data collection in this study was carried out through a literature study from various secondary sources. This article concludes that Indonesia's religious basis for FGM/C practice that is mandated by MUI in 2008 is full of loopholes. The rationalization and ambiguous regulations made by Permenkes No.6/2014 also create more confusion among civilians and healthcare practitioners that cause medicalization practice for FGM/C. In addition to the way of Indonesia's national and international policy that prone to the realization of international commitments and SDGs 2030. Therefore Indonesia's government needs to pay more attention to FGM/C problems as it can affect the development of Indonesia to achieve its national and international commitment.
COMPARISON OF CONCEPTS BETWEEN FUTUWWAH IN THE DISCIPLINE OF SUFISM WITH FITUA IN BIMA SUFISM EAST INDONESIA.
Authors: Hendrawangsyah Hendrawangsyah , Omar Syed Hadzrullathfi Bin Syed Omar
Published: April 2023

The people of Bima only know Fitua as a tradition—which some Muslim groups use Fitua as a forum or space for interpreting Islamic values ??through religious philosophy discourse with one term "ngaji tua", as well as a space for deepening practice worship at the level of essence (haqiqah). This article attempts to trace and re-identify texts in the discipline of Sufism that are related to Fitua. Considering that the text does not stand alone, the study of this article is also built on the assumption that every text is a mosaic; absorption quotations, and the transformation of other texts, so that the new text allows for absorption and transformation of the previous text. The author places Fitua as a new text, then reads it and relates it to the concept of Futuwwah as the previous text to find the relationship between the two. Through qualitative descriptive research, this article explains as deeply as possible the relationship between Fitua as Bima Sufism and the concept of Futuwwah as one of the disciplines of Sufism. From the results of this interpretation and analysis, this article is able to show that Fitua is a local Islamic spiritualism (Sufism) of Bima with the concepts and teachings of Futuwwah which was built based on the advice of Maja labo Dahu with the five pillars of the life principles of the Bima Muslim community, namely maja, 'dahu, su'u sawa'u sia sawale, ngahi rawi pahu, and toho mpara nahu, sura dou labo dana—as a way (tareqah) in Sufism

Authors: Mulyadi Yadi
Published: April 2023

This study is a field study to find out more about the cultural practice of religious moderation in the Bedouin convert community in Kompol Leuwidamar Village, Lebak Banten, which has lived for hundreds of years. The method used in this research is a qualitative method which is a field research. This is an attempt to obtain valid and intact data regarding religious moderation in the view of the Baduy Muslim Converts Community in Kompol Village. The data collection techniques are carried out by means of observation, interviews, and documentation. The values ??of religious moderation (national commitment, tolerance, non-violence, and cultural accommodative) in the Baduy convert community in Kompol village were already practiced before the government had a strategic study on 'Religious Moderation'. They have been practicing mutual cooperation, mutual help, dialogue, tolerance, and being adaptive to foreign cultures since hundreds of centuries ago, even before they became converts, the practice of religious moderation had become a way of life everyday, consciously or unconsciously. . Even though there has actually been a shift in cultural values, the Mualaf Community is able to live side by side with the Inner Baduy

A Transient Productivity Prediction Model for Horizontal Wells Coupled With Oil-Gas Two-Phase Seepage and Wellbore Flow
Authors: Ke Wenqi , Luo Wei , Miao Shiyu , Chen Wen , Hou Yaodong
Published: April 2023

As development progresses, when the bottom hole flowing pressure or formation pressure is less than the saturation pressure of crude oil in the reservoir, oil and gas two-phase seepage occurs in the reservoir. Due to the characteristics of oil and gas two-phase seepage, after the oil and gas two-phase seepage occurs in the reservoir, the well production will be reduced, or even greatly reduced. Therefore, how to predict the horizontal well capacity better in this case is an important problem that needs to be solved urgently. In this paper, the method and process of establishing the transient calculation model of two-phase flow in horizontal wells are introduced in detail from three aspects: fluid physical properties, reservoir oil-gas two-phase seepage, and the coupling model of Inflow Performance and Flow in Wellbore. The model is more reliable through the verification of production data from five wells in two oilfields.

Study aimed to evaluate the impact of integrating family planning with maternal, newborn, and child health (FP-MNCH) on uptake of modern contraceptive methods and related health outcomes in two districts of the province of Sindh, Pakistan.
Impact of intervention was evaluated using a quasi-experimental control before-after study design. Intervention included capacity building of healthcare providers and outreach workers, ensuring sustained supplies of family planning commodities, data-driven decision-making, and community engagement activities. Data was collected through household surveys at baseline (December2020) and endline (December 2022). The sample size was estimated as 880 married women of reproductive age (MWRA) in each district. The Difference and Difference(DiD) analytical method was used to estimate the impact of intervention adjusted for potential confounding factors.
There was statistically significant increase of 11.3% in the current use of MCM in the intervention group compared to the control group (p value <0.001), with increases observed in the uptake of injection , implants, and condoms. Additionally, there was an increase in the proportion of women who had ANC visits (DiD 10.5% p value 0.003), FP counselling during ANC (DiD 15.6% p value < 0.001), LHW visits during pregnancy (DiD 15.1% p value 0.021), PNC check-ups for mother (DiD 25.2% p value <0.001), LHW visits after delivery (DiD 20.4% p value <0.001), and LHW advised for family planning at PNC visit n (DiD 14.5% p value 0.030).
This study provides strong evidence for the scaling-up of integrated interventions through existing health care platforms utilizing human resources deployed by the government. This FP-MNCH model has the potential to be adopted in other provinces and at federally administered areas for both health and population planning. This model should be considered for replication in other districts of Sindh to accelerate current level of integration already existing.
Efficient Dissemination of Safety Messages in Vehicle Ad-hoc Network Environments

Published: April 2023

The number of people owning vehicles has been steadily growing, resulting in increased numbers of vehicles on the roads, making roads more congested, and increasing the risk of accidents. In addition, heavy rain, snow, and fog have increased due to abnormal weather caused by global warming. These bad weather conditions can also affect the safety of vehicles and drivers. The need to disseminate safety messages on the social internet of vehicles due to these problems has been steadily increasing. In this paper, we propose an efficient safety message dissemination scheme that focuses on urban environments with high vehicle density and mobility to address these problems. The proposed scheme reduces packet loss by considering frequent cluster departures and subscriptions through an efficient cluster management technique. In a vehicle-to-vehicle environment, the dissemination of safety messages is divided into an intra-cluster and an inter-cluster emergency as well as general safety message dissemination technique. In a vehicle to infrastructure environment, the proposed scheme reduces the number of processing requests and duplicate messages made to roadside units (RSUs) through a request operation process for each vehicle and an RSU scheduling technique. We conducted several performance evaluations of message packet loss and the number of RSU processing requests to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme.
