Published: April 2023

Background and aims: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common
complication of malignancy associated with a three-fold increase risk of
death. Pregnancy is also a recognized risk factor for VTE, and is
associated with a 4-5 fold increase risk compared to non-pregnant women.
Considering that any review article has not been published in this field
yet and given that complications of VTE can be reduced by early
identifying between pregnant women the current systematic review aimed
to elucidate the impact of malignancy on the risk of VTE in pregnant
females. Methods: We carried out a systematic search in multiple
databases, including PubMed (Medline), Google Scholar, and Scopus up to
January 2023. Finally, 441 related articles were extracted from the
databases, after screening the title, abstract and full text, seven
articles were included in the study. Results: Seven studies (6 cohorts
and 1 cross-sectional) with an entire of 58,854,195 pregnant females
(22,396 cancer patients) were included. These studies were done in the
United States of America, Canada, Brazil, and Denmark. All of the
studies except one study demonstrated that cancer in pregnant patients
increased the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The VTE prevalence was
significantly higher in cancer groups compared with the non-cancer group
and the highest (adjusted odds ratio) aOR was correlated to myeloid
leukemia. Conclusions: Pregnant women with malignancy are more
susceptible to VTE and other coagulation disorders. Physicians and
health policymakers should be of high vigilance to pregnancy-associated
VTE, especially in women suffering from cancer.
The Dust Planet Clarified: Modelling Martian MY29 Atmospheric Data using the Dynamic-Atmosphere Energy-Transport (DAET) Climate Model
Authors: Wilde Stephen Paul Rathbone , Mulholland Philip
Published: April 2023

The Dynamic Atmosphere Energy Transport (DAET) climate model, a
mathematical model previously applied to a study of Earth’s climate, has
been adapted to study the climatic features in the low-pressure,
dust-prone atmosphere of the planet Mars. Using satellite data observed
for Martian Year 29 (MY29), temperature profiles are presented here that
confirm the studies of prior authors of the existence on Mars of a
tropical solar-energy driven zone of daytime atmospheric warming, that
both diurnally lifts the tropopause and follows the annual latitudinal
cycle of the solar zenith. This tropical limb of ascending convection is
dynamically linked to polar zones of descending air, the seasonal focus
of which is concentrated over each respective hemisphere’s polar winter
cap of continuous darkness. An analysis of the MY29 temperature data was
performed to generate an annual average surface temperature metric that
was then used to both inform the design of and to constrain the
computation of the DAET climate model. The modelling analysis suggests
that the Martian atmosphere is fully transparent to surface emitted
thermal radiant energy. The role of lit hemisphere surface reflectance
provides an energy boost to the dust-prone surface boundary layer at
grazing-angle latitudes. This backlighting process of quenched solar
energy capture ensures that the Martian climate operates as a black-body
system. The high emissivity solar illuminated hemispheric surface heats
the atmosphere by direct thermal conduction followed by a process of
adiabatic convection across the planetary surface. It is the non-lossy
process of adiabatic convection that results in the development and
maintenance of a flux-enhanced atmospheric energy reservoir which
accounts for the 2 Kelvin Atmospheric Thermal Effect in the Martian
troposphere.
The Quiet Brain: A Meta-Analytical Review of the Relationship Between T7-Fz Coherence and Sports Performance
Authors: Raman Dhruv , Filho Edson
Published: April 2023

We examined whether the alpha band-coherence between the T7-Fz (verbal
analytical-motor planning) brain areas were related to superior
performance in sports. We searched for related papers across eight
databases: ProQuest Central, ProQuest Psychology Journals, PsycARTICLES,
PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science using
relevant keywords (i.e., EEG AND sports AND coherence). Seven studies,
with a total of 194 participants, met our inclusion criteria and were
shortlisted for statistical analysis. We compared EEG coherence data for
both within-subject and between-subject experimental designs. Results
indicated that athletes had lower coherence in T7-Fz brain pathway for
alpha band activation (Hedges’ g = -.54; p = .03) when performing
better. Theoretically, these results corroborate the notion that
athletes become more “neurally efficient” as the verbal and motor
areas of their brains function more independently, i.e., the neural
efficiency hypothesis. Accordingly, athletes who can limit verbal
interference are more likely to perform a sporting task successfully.
A hierarchical ensemble manifold methodology for new knowledge on spatial data: An application to ocean physics
Authors: Sonnewald Maike
Published: April 2023

Algorithms to determine regions of interest in large or highly complex
and nonlinear data is becoming increasingly important. Novel
methodologies from computer science and dynamical systems are well
placed as analysis tools, but are underdeveloped for applications within
the Earth sciences, and many produce misleading results. I present a
novel and general workflow, the Native Emergent Manifold Interrogation
(NEMI) method, which is easy to use and widely applicable. NEMI is able
to quantify and leverage the highly complex ‘latent’ space presented by
noisy, nonlinear and unbalanced data common in the Earth sciences. NEMI
uses dynamical systems and probability theory to strengthen
associations, simplifying covariance structures, within the data with a
manifold, or a Riemannian, methodology that uses domain specific
charting of the underlying space. On the manifold, an agglomerative
clustering methodology is applied to isolate the now observable areas of
interest. The construction of the manifold introduces a stochastic
component which is beneficial to the analysis as it enables latent space
regularization. NEMI uses an ensemble methodology to quantify the
sensitivity of the results noise. The areas of interest, or clusters,
are sorted within individual ensemble members and co-located across the
set. A metric such as a majority vote, entropy, or similar the
quantifies if a data point within the original data belongs to a certain
cluster. NEMI is clustering method agnostic, but the use of an
agglomerative methodology and sorting in the described case study allows
a filtering, or nesting, of clusters to tailor to a desired application.

Published: April 2023

The Whole Heliosphere and Planetary Interactions (WHPI) is an
international initiative to study the most recent solar minimum and its
impact on the interconnected solar-heliospheric-planetary system by
facilitating and encouraging interdisciplinary activities. Particular
WHPI science foci include the global connected structure of the
heliosphere and planetary space environments/atmospheres, the origins
and impacts of high-speed solar wind streams, coronal mass ejections
(CMEs) from Sun-to-Heliopause, and comparative solar minima. This is
achieved through a series of coordinated observing campaigns, including
Parker Solar Probe perihelia, and scientific virtual interactions
including a dedicated workshop where observers and modelers gathered to
discuss, compare, and combine research results. This introduction sets
the scene for the WHPI interval, placing it into the context of prior
initiatives and describing the overall evolution of the system between
2018-2020. Along with the accompanying articles, it presents a selection
of key scientific results on the interconnected
solar-heliospheric-planetary system at solar minimum.
Assessing Memory in Convection Schemes Using Idealized Tests
Authors: Hwong Yi-Ling , Colin Maxime , Aglas-Leitner Philipp , Muller Caroline , Sherwood Steven
Published: April 2023

Two assumptions commonly applied in convection schemes—the diagnostic
and quasi-equilibrium assumptions—imply that convective activity
(e.g., convective precipitation) is controlled only by the large-scale
(macrostate) environment at the time. In contrast, numerical experiments
indicate a “memory” or dependence of convection also on its own
previous activity whereby subgrid-scale (microstate) structures boost
but are also boosted by convection. In this study we investigated this
memory by comparing single-column model behavior in two idealized tests
previously executed by a cloud-resolving model (CRM). Conventional
convection schemes that employ the diagnostic assumption fail to
reproduce the CRM behavior. The memory-capable org and LMDZ cold pool
schemes partially capture the behavior, but fail to fully exhibit the
strong reinforcing feedbacks implied by the CRM. Analysis of this
failure suggests that it is because the CRM supports a linear (or
superlinear) dependence of the subgrid structure growth rate on the
precipitation rate, while the org scheme assumes a sublinear dependence.
Among varying versions of the org scheme, the growth rate of the org
variable representing subgrid structure is strongly associated with
memory strength. These results demonstrate the importance of
parameterizing convective memory, and the ability of idealized tests to
reveal shortcomings of convection schemes and constrain model structural
assumptions.
Survivorship of benthic foraminifera across the Danian Warm World
Authors: Thena Thulasi , Pandey Dhananjai Kumar , Singh Raj K. , Nair Nisha , Roshni KS
Published: April 2023

Three major geological events: The cretaceous-Paleogene (K/Pg)
transition, Dan-C2, and the Latest Danian Event (LDE) during the Early
Paleocene geologic period caused potential impacts over mass extinctions
of several marine life and also rapid change in climate from icehouse to
warmhouse condition. The effects of these events on the marine community
in the Indian Ocean are not well understood in comparison to other
oceans. Here we investigate benthic foraminiferal diversity patterns,
morphotypes, and oxygen conditions along with the carbonates and
magnetic susceptibility records in the Indian Ocean sediments to
understand the Danian Warm World (DWW). Deep-sea sediments from the
International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1457 (Laxmi basin,
Northern Indian Ocean) at ~1100 meters below the
seafloor (mbsf) of the Danian period (c. 66 – 61.6 Ma) are examined,
which suggest that the foraminifera subsisted across major events.
Species belonging to Bolivina, Glandulina, Hoeglundina, Parrelloides and
Quadrimorphina genus were dominant above the K/Pg boundary whereas
Bolivina, Bulimina, Cassidulina, Cornuspira, Gyroidinoides, Melonis,
Oolina, Pullenia, Reussoolina and Rutherfordoides were dominated across
the hyperthermal events. We also calculated the average oxygen content
at 0.16 ml/L in accordance with oxyphilic species abundance, which
serves as supportive evidence, in defining Laxmi basin favours a suboxic
to dysoxic environment. The benthic foraminiferal diversity pattern,
primary anomalies of calcium carbonates, magnetic susceptibility, and
previous global datasets of carbon and oxygen isotopes attempted to mark
the period of geologic events at the study site.
Global patterns of surface ocean dissolved organic matter stoichiometry
Authors: Liang Zhou , Letscher Robert T. , Knapp Angela N
Published: April 2023

Surface ocean marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) serves as an
important reservoir of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) in
the global ocean, and is produced and consumed by both autotrophic and
heterotrophic communities. While prior work has described distributions
of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (DON) concentrations, our
understanding of DOC:DON:DOP stoichiometry in the global surface ocean
has been limited by the availability of DOP concentration measurements.
Here we estimate mean surface ocean bulk and labile DOC:DON:DOP
stoichiometry in biogeochemically and geographically defined regions,
using newly available marine DOM concentration databases. Global mean
surface ocean bulk (C:N:P = 387:26:1) and labile (C:N:P = 179:20:1) DOM
stoichiometries are higher than Redfield stoichiometry, with labile DOM
stoichiometry similar to that of global mean surface ocean particulate
organic matter (C:N:P = 160:21:1) reported in a recent compilation. DOM
stoichiometry varies across ocean basins, ranging from 251:17:1 to
638:43:1 for bulk and 83:15:1 to 414:49:1 for labile DOM C:N:P,
respectively. Surface ocean DOP exhibits larger relative changes than
DOC and DON, driving surface ocean gradients in DOC:DON:DOP
stoichiometry. Inferred autotrophic consumption of DOP helps explain
intra- and inter-basin patterns of marine DOM C:N:P stoichiometry, with
regional patterns of water column denitrification and iron supply
influencing the biogeochemical conditions favoring DOP use as an organic
nutrient. Specifically, surface ocean marine DOM exhibits increasingly
P-depleted stoichiometries from east to west in the Pacific and from
south to north in the Atlantic consistent with patterns of increasing P
stress and alleviated iron stress, respectively.
Improving Bayesian Model Averaging for Ensemble Flood Modeling Using Multiple Markov Chains Monte Carlo Sampling
Authors: Huang Tao , Merwade Venkatesh Mohan
Published: April 2023

As all kinds of physics-based and data-driven models are emerging in
hydrologic and hydraulic engineering, Bayesian model averaging (BMA) is
one of the popular multi-model methods used to account for various
uncertainty sources in the flood modeling process and generate robust
ensemble predictions. The reliability of BMA parameters (weights and
variances) determines the accuracy of BMA predictions. However, the
uncertainty in BMA parameters with fixed values, which are usually
obtained from Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm, has not been
adequately investigated in BMA-related applications over the past few
decades. Given the limitations of the commonly used EM algorithm,
Metropolis-Hastings (M-H) algorithm, which is one of the most widely
used algorithms in Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, is proposed
to estimate BMA parameters. Both numerical experiments and
one-dimensional HEC-RAS models are employed to examine the applicability
of M-H algorithm with multiple independent Markov chains. The
performances of EM and M-H algorithms are compared based on the daily
water stage predictions from 10 model members. Results show that BMA
weights estimated from both algorithms are comparable, while BMA
variances obtained from M-H algorithm are closer to the given variances
in the numerical experiment. Moreover, the normal proposal used in M-H
algorithm can yield narrower distributions for BMA weights than those
from the uniform proposal. Overall, MCMC approach with multiple chains
can provide more information associated with the uncertainty of BMA
parameters and its performance is better than the default EM algorithm
in terms of multiple evaluation metrics as well as algorithm
flexibility.
Siege of the South: Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai Water Vapor Excluded from 2022 Antarctic Stratospheric Polar Vortex

Published: April 2023

We use Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) trace gas measurements to
investigate whether water vapor (H2O) injected into the stratosphere by
the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai (HTHH) eruption affected the 2022
Antarctic stratospheric vortex. Other MLS-measured long-lived species
are used to distinguish high HTHH H2O from that descending in the vortex
from the upper-stratospheric H2O peak. HTHH H2O reached high southern
latitudes in June–July but was effectively excluded from the vortex by
the strong transport barrier at its edge. MLS H2O, nitric acid, chlorine
species, and ozone within the 2022 Antarctic polar vortex were near
average; the vortex was large, strong, and long-lived, but not
exceptionally so. There is thus no clear evidence of HTHH influence on
the 2022 Antarctic vortex or its composition. Substantial impacts on the
stratospheric polar vortices are expected in succeeding years since the
H2O injected by HTHH has spread globally.

Cooperative culture and cooperative governance structure of agricultural cooperatives
Authors:   New Bulgarian University, Boevsky Ivan
Published: April 2023

In my study, I seek to shed light on the relationship between cooperative culture and cooperative governance structure in the agricultural cooperative. Its dual nature defines it as a specific business organization, combining both enterprise (business orientation) and a group/ community of members/ cooperative actors (social/ community/ group). As such, it has a specific cooperative governance structure, over which the cooperative culture has a key influence and is a significant factor for its effective functioning. This, in turn, is a prerequisite for the sustainable development of the cooperative. As the agricultural cooperative is a type of cooperative, the considerations and conclusions for the general type are valid for the specific one as well.
Escaping subsets of cosine functions with the given Hausdorff dimension
Authors: Huang Xiaojie , Li Zhixiu , Wu Chun
Published: April 2023

The escaping set is the important object studied in dynamics of
transcendental entire functions. As exponential function is the most typical
transcendental entire function, its escaping set has been deeply studied. It
is well known that if the function is slightly disturbed, the properties of
its dynamical system may vary greatly. We can?t easily study different
functions in the same way. Contrasting exponential function, we pay our main
attention to the cosine function in this paper. We construct some escaping
subsets of cosine function by Devaney-Krych codes so that the Hausdorff
dimension of the subsets is equal to the given number in the interval (1,
2).
Comments on the paper ”Global optimal approximate solutions of best proximity points”
Authors: Gabeleh Moosa , Patle Pradip
Published: April 2023

In a recent paper ?Filomat, 35:5 (2021), 1555-1564? the authors proved some
best proximity point theorems for classes of contractive pair of mappings as
well as cyclic ?-contractions under some sufficient conditions. In this
article, we present some counterexamples of the existence results of
contractive pair of mappings and present the corrected version of these
results. We also show that the best proximity point theorem for cyclic
?-contractions is a straightforward consequence of Boyd-Wong fixed point
theorem by dropping an additional assumption.

This paper aims to design new families of balanced-Euler approximation
schemes for the solutions of stiff stochastic differential systems. To prove
the mean-square convergence, we use some fundamental inequalities such as
the global Lipschitz condition and linear growth bound. The meansquare
stability properties of our new schemes are analyzed. Also, numerical
examples illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed schemes.
Prescription patterns of diclofenac in patients with cardiovascular diseases or at high risk for cardiovascular diseases at primary health care level in Montenegro: Retrospective, national, drug utilization study
Authors: Stankovic Maja , Turkovic Nemanja , Dobric Silva , Rancic Nemanja
Published: April 2023

Background/Aim. Diclofenac, a non-selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects, is one of the most prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The aim of this study was to analyze the prescription patterns of diclofenac systemic formulations at primary health care (PHC) level in Montenegro, in patients with cardiovascular (CV) diseases (CVD) and patients with risk factors for CVD, from 2016 to 2020. Methods. A retrospective national drug utilization study was conducted and it included patients with CVD, to whom prescribing diclofenac was contraindicated, and patients with risk factors for CVD, to whom diclofenac could be prescribed but with increased precaution. PHC information system has been used as a source of medical data for these patients. Results. Within the observed period, prescribing diclofenac systemic formulations, dominantly oral formulations in 75 mg dose, increased by 36.9% [from 4.6 of defined daily doses (DDD) /1,000 inhabitants/day in 2016 to 6.3 DDD/1,000 inhabitants/day in 2020]. A rising trend in prescribing diclofenac was also recorded in patients with CVD or those with risk factors for CVD, to whom diclofenac prescribing is contraindicated. Out of the overall number of patients who were prescribed diclofenac in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, 16%, 18%, 24%, 15%, and 20% of them, respectively, already had a CVD or some risk factor for CVD. Most CV patients (39.7%), for whom the use of diclofenac was contraindicated, had ischemic heart disease and were prescribed 40.7% of the total amount of diclofenac prescribed for this group of patients (expressed in DDD/1,000 inhabitants/day for the given medicine). The majority (77.4%) of CV patients to whom the drug could be prescribed, but with increased precautions, had hypertension, and they were prescribed 77.2% of the total amount of diclofenac prescribed for this group of patients (expressed in DDD/1,000 inhabitants/day for the given medicine). Conclusion. Despite the undertaken regulatory measures aimed at a safer prescription of diclofenac to patients with CVD or at high risk of developing CVD, this medicine is still widely prescribed at the level of PHC in Montenegro, even in cases that represent a contraindication for its use.
Studying Some of Physical Properties of a Lead Doping Titanium Dioxide TiO₂: Pb with Different Ratios
Authors: S Sater
Published: April 2023

Titanium dioxide TiO2 has witnessed great interest in international research laboratories due to its excellent properties. To study the changes in its physical properties, the structural properties of pure and lead-doped titanium dioxide powder samples were examined with different ratios (x = 0.2 - 0.5 - 0.7 - 0.9 g). The results of X-ray diffraction showed the participation of samples of anatase and rutile of the tetragonal crystal system and brookite of the orthorhombic crystal system based in the titanium dioxide compound with the peaks corresponding to the crystalline levels (110), (012), (040), (111), (211), (123), (112)The preferred orientation is (110) in all pure and doped samples. The relative intensities, distance between crystalline planes (d), crystal size (D), lattice parameters (a), (b) and (c), Initial cell size (V), dislocation density (δ), and theoretical density of the X-ray diffraction spectrum for the powders (ρX-ray) were determined, and the number of atoms of a substance per unit volume (n) and the average distance between atoms (L).
Implications of New Quantum Spin Perspective in Quantum Gravity
Authors: RP Vyas
Published: April 2023

Consequences of new quantum spin perspective in quantum gravity are far-reaching. Results of this novel perspective in loop quantum gravity, i.e., the modification of the equation of geometrical operators such as the area and the volume operator are known. Using newly proposed formula from this perspective, the magnitude of fundamental constants such as the reduced Planck constant ℏ, the gravitational constant G, the speed of light c, the Boltzmann constant kβ , the fine structure constant α, can be validated. With the aid of this perspective, we find new formulas for the fundamental Planckian quantities and the derived Planckian quantities. We also propose novel formulas for the Planck star such as the size, the curvature, the surface area and the size of black hole (for the Planck star) without modifying its significance. The relation of the quantum spin with the Planck temperature TP (TP ∝ n2 ), the Planck mass mP (mP ∝ n2 ), the Planck length l P (l P ∝ n) are also proposed using this novel perspective.
Association between neighbourhood composition, kindergarten educator-reported distance learning barriers, and return to school concerns during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, Canada
Authors: Spadafora Natalie , Wang Jade , Reid-Westoby Caroline , Janus Magdalena
Published: April 2023

IntroductionResearch to date has established that the COVID-19 pandemic has not impacted everyone equitably. Whether this unequitable impact was seen educationally with regards to educator reported barriers to distance learning, concerns and mental health is less clear.
ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to explore the association between the neighbourhood composition of the school and kindergarten educator-reported barriers and concerns regarding children's learning during the first wave of COVID-19 related school closures in Ontario, Canada.
MethodsIn the spring of 2020, we collected data from Ontario kindergarten educators (n = 2569; 74.2% kindergarten teachers, 25.8% early childhood educators; 97.6% female) using an online survey asking them about their experiences and challenges with online learning during the first round of school closures. We linked the educator responses to 2016 Canadian Census variables based on schools' postal codes. Bivariate correlations and Poisson regression analyses were used to determine if there was an association between neighbourhood composition and educator mental health, and the number of barriers and concerns reported by kindergarten educators.
ResultsThere were no significant findings with educator mental health and school neighbourhood characteristics. Educators who taught at schools in neighbourhoods with lower median income reported a greater number of barriers to online learning (e.g., parents/guardians not submitting assignments/providing updates on their child's learning) and concerns regarding the return to school in the fall of 2020 (e.g., students' readjustment to routines). There were no significant associations with educator reported barriers or concerns and any of the other Census neighbourhood variables (proportion of lone parent families, average household size, proportion of population that do no speak official language, proportion of population that are recent immigrants, or proportion of population ages 0-4).
ConclusionsOverall, our study suggests that the neighbourhood composition of the children's school location did not exacerbate the potential negative learning experiences of kindergarten students and educators during the COVID-19 pandemic, although we did find that educators teaching in schools in lower-SES neighbourhoods reported more barriers to online learning during this time. Taken together, our study suggests that remediation efforts should be focused on individual kindergarten children and their families as opposed to school location.
The Stimulation of Polymodal Sensory Perception by Skarżyński (SPPS-S): comparison of stationary and remote therapy results
Authors: Skarżynski Piotr Henryk , Czajka Natalia , Gos Elżbieta , Skarżyński Henryk
Published: April 2023

Hearing is a sense, which has a significant impact on a child’s development. Disorders connected with hearing can have impact in a various form and affect each area of life. Hearing disorders may concern peripheral auditory system as well as its parts responsible for central processing. It is estimated that central auditory processing disorders in its isolated form concern 2-3% of the population of school-age children, however, the problem co-occurring with other disorders may affect even several dozen percents of children. According to the available recommendations, there are three main therapeutic approaches in the treatment of patients with auditory processing disorders: transforming the school environment, teaching the child strategies how to compensate his or her difficulties or using hearing trainings focused on a specific deficit.
The main aim of the study is to present the results of SPPS-S therapy dedicated to patients with central auditory processing disorders who have completed the remote version of the method in comparison with patients performing therapy in a rehabilitation center.
The Stimulation of Polymodal Sensory Perception by Skarżyński (original name in polish SPPS-S) is a treatment applicable for many different groups of disorders showing comorbidity with central auditory processing disorders. Solutions present in SPPS-S offer multifaceted therapy activating different perceptual modalities (hearing, vision and touch) at the same time, as well as their integration and coordination. Patient may receive the SPPS-S therapy either in the rehabilitation center or at home.
The material used to assess the effectiveness of SPPS-S-based therapy included the results of 100 patients who received remote SPPS-S therapy compared to the results of 100 patients who performed therapy at a specialized center.
Statistical analysis of the results obtained, which showed that the therapy used resulted in a statistically significant improvement in all auditory functions studied. Results confirm the high effectiveness of The Stimulation of Polymodal Sensory Perception by Skarżyński, both in stationary and remotely implemented form. The quality of telerehabilitation interventions was maintained at the same level as in therapeutic work at the therapeutic center, which was confirmed by the results of patients. Remote SPPS-S therapy as an effective telerehabilitation method has become an effective form of supporting patients in their own homes.

Authors: Sudarmono Sudarmono
Published: April 2023

How does decentralization provide good public services among traditional fisherfolk and diminish the exploitation of marine resources? This article discusses the positive impact of decentralization on the patron-client relationship of the fishing community by depicting the articulation of social relations and power relations tied among the fisherfolk Sangkarrang Islands, City of Makassar. By employing the theory of access, this study revealed that the proliferation of the Sub District of Sangkarrang had configured the landscape of socio-political interaction. This condition was restructured by the relation of production among producers and successfully eliminated the over-exploitation of marine resources in Sangkarrang Islands. Social hierarchy became more opened and allowed the vulnerable group to access the services provided by the government. They could also channel their political aspiration without being interfered with by a higher social class. At the same time, the political landscape had been rearranged and control from elites tended to be declined. In conclusion, decentralization had increased democratization for local people and had brought public services to be more efficient, including the decreasing of marine exploitation.

Study the Association of Uromodulin Gene rs13332878 with Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: Albayati Ahmed Saad , Al Jowari Suha Abdulkhaliq
Published: April 2023

Uromodulin is the most abundant protein ordinary excreted in urine which could be used as a biomarker to diagnose kidney diseases.  However, evidence suggests that it regulates salt transport, protects against urinary tract infection and kidney stones, and has a role in kidney damage and innate immunity. This study aimed to understand the association of uromodulin gene rs13332878 with  chronic kidney disease. More than 100 people were selected for the study and the samples collected from the under study subjects were divided into two groups. 70 chosen subjects were under the dialysis with kidney failure, and  aged between 18-88 years. The second group included 30 samples from healthy individuals, used as control. One of the ways used to identify the genotype was the tetra-primers amplification refractory mutation system–polymerase chain reaction (ARMS–PCR). Regarding the results of SNP (rs13332878), there were three genotypes: GG, CG and CC. Genotype GG was shown in the size 288bp, genotype CG was shown in the size 288+577bp, whereas genotype CC was shown in the size 577bp. The results of frequency genotypes that appeared for GG, GC and CC were 74.29%, 17.14% and 8.57% respectively in patients. Whereas in the control, the frequency of genotypes was GG 3.33%, GC 16.67% and CC 80%. It was observed that less than 1 odds ratio meant that the genotypes were to be considered as a preventive factor. While more than 1 OR meant that the risk had increased (P-value 0.01). No significant differences for the genotypes GC were found when comparing patients and the control groups (P> 0.01). So, we can conclude that there was an association between SNP (rs13332878) of uromodulin with kidney disease and genotype GG should be considered a risk factor while CC genotype represents a preventive factor.
