Spatial distribution of rural population from a climate perspective: Evidence from Jiangxi Province in China
Authors: Zhang Liguo , Lin Xi , Leng Langping , Zeng Yongming
Published: March 2021

The research on rural population distribution from a climate perspective is rare. Therefore, this study adopts this perspective and uses the ordinary least squares and spatial econometric models to explore the spatial distribution characteristics of the rural population in the Poyang Lake ecological economic zone. Results show that (1) a significant spatial autocorrelation is present in the distribution of rural population, and a spatial correlation exists between the population distribution and climatic factors, (2) the influence of climatic factors on the distribution of rural population in the Poyang Lake ecological economic zone is greater than that of economic factors, and (3) the annual average sunshine and annual average rainfall have a significant negative effect on the distribution of the regional rural population, which is contrary to the expectations., so we then analyze this negative effect on the regional rural population distribution. It is found that (1) the influence of climate factors on the distribution of rural population in lake area is far more than that of economic factors, and more consideration should be given to the influence of climate factors on the population distribution in the lake area, (2) different geographical capital and natural resource endowment, the influence of climate on micro-regional population distribution may be different from the general law, (3) the spatial measurement model which takes spatial dependence into account can reveal the influence of climate on rural population distribution more accurately.

Background

Gastric perforation after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is an infrequent complication. There is lack of evidence regarding the risk factors for this postoperative complication. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of postoperative gastric perforation in patients undergoing CRS for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) and to evaluate risk factors predisposing to this complication.

Methods

We designed a unicentric retrospective study to identify all patients who underwent an open upfront or interval CRS after a primary diagnosis of PC of different origins between March 2007 and December 2018 at a French Comprehensive Cancer Center. The main outcome was the occurrence of postoperative gastric perforation.

Results

Five hundred thirty-three patients underwent a CRS for PC during the study period and 13 (2.4%) presented a postoperative gastric perforation with a mortality rate of 23% (3/13). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered in 283 (53.1%) patients and 99 (18.6%) received hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). In the univariate analysis, body mass index (BMI), peritoneal cancer index, splenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, and histology were significantly associated with postoperative gastric perforation. After multivariate analysis, BMI (OR [95%CI] = 1.13 [1.05–1.22], p = 0.002) and splenectomy (OR [95%CI] = 26.65 [1.39–509.67], p = 0.029) remained significantly related to the primary outcome.

Conclusions

Gastric perforation after CRS is a rare event with a high rate of mortality. While splenectomy and increased BMI are risk factors associated with this complication, HIPEC does not seem to be related. Gastric perforation is probably an ischemic complication due to a multifactorial process. Preventive measures such as preservation of the gastroepiploic arcade and prophylactic suture of the greater gastric curvature require further assessment.

Overview of HIV Prevention among In-school Adolescents in the Rural Areas of Abia State of Nigeria
Authors: E.E Enwereji, , P.E.N Onyemechi,
Published: March 2021

Introduction
HIV prevention services to in-school adolescents need good planning and management. HIV risk reduction interventions are geared toward measuring sexual risk behaviour outcomes of adolescents that predispose them to HIV infection. The sexual behaviour of adolescents, especially in-school adolescents should be assessed in the process. Adolescents have been identified as the most vulnerable group for acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and as such, measures should be taken to prevent them from infection. One important reason for higher HIV prevalence among adolescents, especially girls, is the frequent practice of age-discrepant partnering, where older men, who are more likely to be infected with HIV, form sexual partners with younger girls. The objective of this study is to assess the knowledge and sexual behaviour of in-school adolescents in the prevention of HIV and AIDs in rural areas of Abia State.

Materials and Methods
This is a descriptive cross-sectional survey that was conducted between January and March 2020. Information was collected from 66 students of a community secondary school in the state. Participants were selected by a multi-stage sampling method and data were obtained using a semi-structured pre-tested questionnaire.

Results
Respondents consisted of 40(60.6%) females and 26(39.4%) males with ages ranging from 13 to 19. Some of the respondents 28 (42.4%), are living with parents while 24(36.4%) live with close relatives. A good number of the respondents 39(59.1%), accepted that their friends are HIV positive. Majority of them 49(74.2%) have not been approached for sexual relationships. About 17(25.8%) of the respondents accepted that they have boyfriends and girlfriends. Out of this number, 12(18.2%) of them said they have been approached for sex and only 2(3%) of them accepted having sexual relationships with the opposite sex. Finding showed that only 1(1.5%) of the respondents claimed to have ever used condoms during sex. Of the sexually active respondents, 49(74.2%) of them are aware that HIV is a virus infection caused by having multiple sex partners while 14(21.2%) were not sure whether HIV is a virus or bacterial infection.

Conclusion
The study revealed a gap in the knowledge of HIV prevention as well as inappropriate sexual behaviour among the respondents. Therefore, meaningful strategies that will be culturally sensitive to modify adolescent sexual risk behaviours should be adopted.
"We believe that we have a right to revelations, visions, and dreams from God"
Authors: Stievermann Jan , Jetter Claudia
Published: March 2021

This essay compares Joseph Smith Jr.'s and Ralph Waldo Emerson's diverging responses to the crisis of religious authority in early nineteenth-century American Christianity. The writings of both men are interpreted as different, but structurally related, attempts at restituting what Weber calls charismatic authority grounded in an immediate experience of the divine. They did so by various performative practices and through distinct forms of prophetic communication. While Smith and Emerson each emphasized the possibility of continuing revelation in the modern age, they significantly differed on how they understood revelatory communication and prophecy and, more profoundly, the very nature of religion.
Numéro 160 - mars 2021

Ce numéro de Regards économiques analyse la question de la formation des demandeurs d’emploi en Belgique, du côté néerlandophone en particulier. Ces formations sont-elles efficaces pour améliorer l’insertion professionnelle des chômeurs et si oui, pour quels demandeurs d’emploi en particulier ?

Pour mener cette étude, Bart Cockx, spécialiste des questions du marché de l’emploi, a travaillé en collaboration avec le VDAB (le service public de l’emploi flamand) et le professeur Michael Lechner (Université de Saint-Gall en Suisse). Ils ont utilisé les techniques d’analyse statistique des Big Data. Ils les ont appliquées à un grand ensemble de données administratives anonymisées sur des demandeurs d’emploi résidant en Flandre. Ces techniques permettent de prévoir le gain d’emploi qu’un chômeur peut espérer de sa participation à une formation donnée.

Les trois résultats majeurs présentés dans cette étude sont les suivants :

Quelles sont les formations les plus efficaces ? Parmi les types de formation étudiés (sessions d’orientation professionnelle, formation professionnelle de type court et formations de durée moyenne), ce sont les formations professionnelles courtes qui sont les plus efficaces; elles augmentent la durée moyenne passée en emploi des participants de 3,5 mois (soit + 21 %) par rapport à l’absence de participation.

Pour quel profil de demandeur d’emploi les formations sont les plus efficaces ? Les formations ont le plus d’impact sur le retour à l’emploi des immigrés récents dont la connaissance du néerlandais est limitée.

Comment améliorer l’efficacité des formations ? Si le VDAB attribuait les programmes de formation aux demandeurs d’emploi selon l’algorithme informatique développé par les chercheurs, on obtiendrait une augmentation de 20 % de la durée passée en emploi grâce aux formations.

Cette étude démontre que les outils informatiques et statistiques peuvent apporter un soutien dans l’attribution des politiques d’aide à l’emploi pour les chômeurs mais également que les gains d’emploi peuvent être conséquents si on alloue les formations à celles et ceux qui en tirent le plus de bénéfices.
Consideration of hyperspectral data in intraspecific variation (spectrotaxonomy) in Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC, Saudi Arabia
Authors: Aldhebiani Amal Y. , Elhag Mohamed , Alshehri Amjaad A.
Published: March 2021

Classification is the science that arranges organisms in groups according to their similarities and differences. In plant science, there are many aspects of classifications. For instance, there is morphological, anatomical, palynological, molecular, and chemical classification. All these types consume time, effort, and money. In this research, new technology is tested to identify the differences between plants. Spectroradiometer will help in classifying Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC in Bahrah region in Saudi Arabia. Spectroradiometer technology is applied to a sample of 40 taxa of P. juliflora in two different seasons. Within each sample site, measurements were taken at a high sun angle from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Results showed that spectroradiometer indicated the existence of significant differences among P. juliflora taxa. Correspondingly, the spectroradiometer engenders the spectral responses of the targeted species in the region between 400 and 2,500 nm wavelength. The spectral behavior of P. juliflora in four seasons was demonstrated as season dependent. The variance-based principal component analysis divided the investigated samples into two groups, either positively correlated or negatively correlated according to the seasonal data collection. Sample number 5 in the quantile’s slicing analysis maintained a stable behavior when it was exposed to 100% wavelength. P. juliflora behavior was stabilized in the infrared (IR) samples (4,5), the shortwave IR (SWIR) (3,4,5), and thermal IT (TIR) (3,4,5,6) at the quantile range of >75. While in the quantile range <25, we found the stability behavior in the IR samples (2,8,10), the SWIR (2,7,8,10), and in TIR (2,7,8,10). Therefore, this approved that the spectroradiometer is useful as the first classification process. More studies are needed to support this finding, such as chemical and molecular investigations.
Feasibility of fly ash as fluxing agent in mid- and low-grade phosphate rock carbothermal reduction and its reaction kinetics
Authors: Luo Biwei , Li Pengfei , Li Yan , Ji Jun , He Dongsheng , Tian Qifeng , Chen Yichang
Published: March 2021

The feasibility of industrial waste fly ash as an alternative fluxing agent for silica in carbothermal reduction of medium-low-grade phosphate ore was studied in this paper. With a series of single-factor experiments, the reduction rate of phosphate rock under different reaction temperature, reaction time, particle size, carbon excess coefficient, and silicon–calcium molar ratio was investigated with silica and fly ash as fluxing agents. Higher reduction rates were obtained with fly ash fluxing instead of silica. The optimal conditions were derived as: reaction temperature 1,300°C, reaction time 75 min, particle size 48–75 µm, carbon excess coefficient 1.2, and silicon–calcium molar ratio 1.2. The optimized process condition was verified with other two different phosphate rocks and it was proved universally. The apparent kinetics analyses demonstrated that the activation energy of fly ash fluxing is reduced by 31.57 kJ/mol as compared with that of silica. The mechanism of better fluxing effect by fly ash may be ascribed to the fact that the products formed within fly ash increase the amount of liquid phase in the reaction system and promote reduction reaction. Preliminary feasibility about the recycling of industrial waste fly ash in thermal phosphoric acid industry was elucidated in the paper.
Three combined pretreatments for reactive gasification feedstock from wet coffee grounds waste
Authors: Hasegawa Isao , Tsujiuchi Tatsuya , Mae Kazuhiro
Published: March 2021

In this study, a new pretreatment for using wet food biomass waste as a high calorific and reactive feedstock for gasification is presented. The method involves the addition of calcium hydroxide, hot water treatment, and dewatering in vegetable oil. Hot water treatment at 230°C reduced the oxygen/carbon atomic ratio of coffee grounds waste to improve the calorific value, but this treatment also formed an inactive cross-linked structure caused by dehydration reactions. By mixing the coffee grounds waste with calcium hydroxide powder before the hot water treatment, cross-linking was suppressed and the gasification rate of the char significantly increased because of the catalytic effect. With or without hot water treatment, the time required to complete gasification for the chars of the grounds mixed with calcium hydroxide was reduced to about one-third of that for the char of the untreated grounds. After heating in vegetable oil at 150°C, moisture was completely removed from the coffee grounds and they became impregnated with a large amount of the oil. As dewatering in oil did not affect the gasification rate of the chars, a combination of these three treatments was found to efficiently convert wet food biomass waste into a gasification feedstock.
Influence of phase distribution of converter slag microzones on the occurrence of P
Authors: Li Chenxiao , Tong Shuai , Xue Yuekai , Wang Shuhuan
Published: March 2021

The phase and element distribution of converter slag was analyzed with the backscattered electron (BSE) images of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray energy spectrum. The results show that the Ca and Si are attached in the slag micro-area, while the Fe is present in areas with less Ca and Si. Most of the P appear in areas with more Ca and Si. The content of SiO2 tends to increase with an increase in the CaO content in the slag micro-area. The activity of a
CaO increases with an increase in the CaO content in the slag micro-area, while the activity of a
FeO increases first and then decreases. In the slag micro-area with an increase in the FeO content, both the mole fraction and the activity coefficient of SiO2 decrease; so, the content of SiO2 decreases gradually.
A study on accumulator analysis for the valve performance evaluation system of nuclear power plants
Authors: Ryu K. , Lee T. , Baek D. , Park J. , Kim N.
Published: March 2021

To evaluate the valves used in the nuclear power plants are working properly under the required conditions, the performance and capacity test should be performed. In the test system, the accumulator was employed to control the large amount of high pressure and high temperature steam generated in the boiler precisely. In the accumulating process, the steam is often condensed. In order to prevent condensation, it is needed to install heaters and preheat the accumulator. However, if the size of the accumulator becomes large, the installation of the heater may not be easy. Therefore, when the test is conducted, the system was preheated by the latent heat generated from the phase change. Insufficient thermal insulation may cause temperature differences and it can cause mechanical problems in the accumulator structure. If insulation is sufficient, the temperature difference is indicated by the height. As the cooled condensate moves downwards, the condensate is discharged by the drain valve control and the temperature difference of the structure can be disappeared. The results of this paper can be applied to the conceptualization of equipment that uses latent heat and for the design of high-precision steam experimental devices or the design of high-capacity steam utilization systems.

Authors: Chen S. S. , Hsu W. S. , Wang J. R. , Yang J.-H. , Chen S.-W. , Shih C.
Published: March 2021

The methodology of analysing ionizing mattresses using the RESRAD-BUILD code is described. RESRAD-BUILD is a free computer program developed by Argonne US National laboratory. The RESRAD-BUILD code can analyze radiation exposures resulting from occupying a building contaminated with radioactive materials or housing contaminated furniture or equipment. In May 2018, the South Korean government pulled the mattresses of manufacturer Daijin Bed Co from its markets because these mattresses had unsafe radiation levels. After that, the AEC (Atomic Energy Council, Taiwan) had immediately conducted an inspection of ionizing mattresses of Taiwan and found that the radiation level of mattresses of two domestic brands exceed the legal standards. For assessing the dose of the ionizing mattress, it was necessary to establish a methodology for analyzing these in case of nuclear industry unusual products. This was done by using the RESRAD-BUILD code and the data are presented in this manuscript. The analysis results of RESRAD-BUILD were compared with the assessment result to the dose announced by the AEC. The RESRAD-BUILD result which the air exchange rate is 10–2/h is similar with the AEC data. In addition, the results present that the air exchange rate is very significant for calculating the dose.

Published: March 2021

The optimization measures in the physical protection system monitoring center of a nuclear power plant include the prioritization of alarm signals, optimization of sound and light alarm form, improvement of the layout of video monitor screen, security training, and strengthening of organizational management. Based on the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, the influence of these factors on the probability of alert assessment and guard’s respond time in the EASI method are quantitatively analyzed. Making full use of the measures for prioritization of alarm signals can effectively promote the improvement of human-computer interaction efficiency. The degree of influence of the four factors (guarder’s status, decision strategy, guarder’s training and organization management) on guard’s decision-making is roughly the same.

The recent increase in the demand of hot and chili pepper at local, national, and international market has drawn the interest of breeders’ crop improvement researchers globally. Thus, there is a need to enhance its breeding and development to improve the production of hot and chilies pepper in the quest for food quality and security. This study focused on the germination ability and evaluation of chlorophyll mutations in M2 generation of gamma irradiates on pepper cultivars. The materials used in this experiment were obtained from the M1 generation of gamma-irradiated seeds of pepper cultivars (Capsicum frutescens, Capsicum chinense, and Capsicum annuum (hot pepper, bonnet pepper, and bell pepper, respectively)). Seeds of the pepper varieties were subjected to doses of gamma ray (i.e., 0, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 Gy) after which they were planted, raised, and harvested in the M2 generation. The parameters evaluated were germination percentage, survival percentage, epicotyl height, and chlorophyll mutations. However, the highest chlorophyll mutation frequency was observed in C. frutescens. This showed that it was more sensitive to gamma irradiation relative to C. chinense and C. annuum. virescenes were the highest chlorophyll mutant observed in all the three cultivars, while the least was Xanthan. The effective dose ranges between 50 and 250 Gy for germination and survival rate for the three cultivars of pepper give higher desirable mutations in the pepper cultivars. While 400 Gy recorded most efficient for chlorophyll mutation.
Closed-form solutions and conservation laws of a generalized Hirota–Satsuma coupled KdV system of fluid mechanics
Authors: Khalique Chaudry Masood
Published: March 2021

In this article, a generalized Hirota–Satsuma coupled Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) system is investigated from the group standpoint. This system represents an interplay of long waves with distinct dispersion correlations. Using Lie’s theory several symmetry reductions are performed and the system is reduced to systems of non-linear ordinary differential equations (NLODEs). Subsequently, the simplest equation method is invoked to find exact solutions of the NLODE systems, which then provides the solitary wave solutions for the system under discussion. Finally, we construct conservation laws of generalized Hirota–Satsuma coupled KdV system with the aid of general multiplier approach.
A Note on Unemployment of Unskilled Labor due to COVID-19 led Restriction on Migration and Trade
Authors: Mandal Biswajit , Chaudhuri Saswati , Prasad Alaka Shree
Published: March 2021

To combat COVID-19 the entire world has resorted to global lockdown implying restriction on international labor migration and trade. This paper aims to check the effect of such restrictions on the unemployment of unskilled labor in the source country. In competitive general equilibrium framework with three goods and four factors, restriction on migration raises unemployment for given factor intensity. The results remain same even in a slightly different structure of the economy. In case of trade restriction, however, the rise or fall in unemployment depends on both the structure of the economy and the factor intensity assumption.
Oxidative addition of a 8-bromotheobromine derivative to d

Published: March 2021

Reaction of 8-bromo-7-ethyl-3-methylxanthine 1 with zerovalent group 10 metal complexes gave via an oxidative addition of the C–Br bond the neutral complexes trans-[2] (M = Pd) and trans-[3] (M = Pt) bearing a theobromine-derived azolato ligand. While the oxidative addition to [Pd0(PPh3)4] gave exclusively trans-[2], the reaction with the more substitution-inert [Pt0(PPh3)4] yielded after 1 day the kinetic product cis-[3], which was converted under heating for a total of 3 days completely into the thermodynamically more stable complex trans-[3]. Treatment of trans-[2], trans-[3] or the mixture of cis-/trans-[3] with the proton source HBF4⋅Et2O led to complexes trans-[4]BF4, trans-[5]BF4 and a mixture of cis/trans-[5]BF4 with retention of the original ratio of cis to trans, respectively. The molecular structures of the azolato complexes trans-[2] and trans-[3] and of the theobromine derived pNHC complexes trans-[4]BF4 and trans-[5]BF4 have been determined by X-ray diffraction studies.
Access to Justice for Vulnerable Workers and Citizens in Public/Private Governance Regimes: Lessons from the Regulatory Welfare State in the Netherlands
Authors: Tollenaar Albertjan , Vonk Gijsbert
Published: March 2021

Mixed public/private governance regimes in social security are complex, legally intricate, and difficult to manage. This may operate as an obstacle for individual claimants when they want to protect themselves against decisions or actions of private actors or wish to enforce individual entitlements. Hence, individuals rely heavily on the corrective function exercised by the courts. Paradoxically, policies that create a public/private governance structure are not always geared towards strengthening access to justice for the individual. On the contrary, in the Netherlands, legislative changes and administrative practices purposefully raise the barriers to bringing cases to the independent judiciary. In this article, we analyse the relationship between the complex public/private governance regimes in social security and access to justice. It is argued that the policies should consider strengthening access to courts to counterbalance the weakened position of workers and vulnerable citizens.

Resistance training, fatigue, quality of life, anxiety in breast cancer survivors. J Strength Cond Res 35(5): 1350–1356, 2021—Resistance training (RT) has shown to be effective in improving fatigue, quality of life (QOL), and anxiety levels among breast cancer survivors (BCS), but there is no consensus as to how this practice should be prescribed for optimal performance. This study analyses the effects of once weekly RT on fatigue, QOL, and anxiety levels among BCS. Randomized controlled trial. Twenty-five BCS (aged 54.6 ± 5.5 years) were randomized into RT or control groups. The RT group performed 8 weeks of RT (once per week). Fatigue was assessed using the Piper Fatigue scale, QOL was assessed using the SF-36, and anxiety was assessed using the STAI State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Resistance training significantly improved the following subscales of SF-36: aspects of physical functioning (+27%, p = 0.027); physical role functioning (+54%, p = 0.008); emotional role functioning (+42%, p = 0.027); and mental health (+16%, p = 0.032). Furthermore, RT improved fatigue levels (−55%, p = 0.001 for general fatigue) and anxiety (anxiety state, −19%, p = 0.012; anxiety trait, −23%, p = 0.001). Resistance training seemed to be a positive nonpharmacological tool for the reduction of fatigue, anxiety, and for improvement of several aspects of QOL in BCS.
Rome after Josquin
Authors: Kostrzewski Brett
Published: March 2021

The “Roman period” of Josquin des Prez resulted in a small but impressive body of work, and the Missa La sol fa re mi has been received as one of the most substantial and finest members of this corpus. Closer inspection of the transmission of this mass, however, suggests that despite its copying at the Sistine Chapel before 1500, there is reason to situate it instead among the problematic and derivative copies of Josquin’s music made at the papal chapel after his departure. I argue that rather than originating from the composer’s tenure in Rome, the Missa La sol fa re mi entered the papal chapel repertoire as part of an influx of music by composers associated with the French royal court surrounding the Italian campaign of King Charles VIII in 1494–95. Decoupling the Missa La sol fa re mi from Josquin’s tenure at the papal chapel raises new possibilities surrounding his works-chronology, biography, and milieu.
Richard Neutra in Spain: Consumerism, Competition, and U.S. Air Force Housing
Authors: Tippey Brett
Published: March 2021

During the mid-twentieth century, transatlantic exchanges between architects often occurred in the context of ColdWar politics. While many of these exchanges involved overt manifestations of state-sponsored ideologies, others, such as Richard Neutra’s participation in the 1956 competition to design U.S. Air Force housing in Spain, demonstrated the personal ambitions of the architects involved more than they did any government agendas. Neutra’s approach to the competition, in which he collaborated with Spanish architects, reveals his predisposition to commodify his work for an international market; in turn, the Spaniards were eager to appropriate and consumeNeutra’s ideas. In Richard Neutra in Spain: Consumerism, Competition, and U.S. Air Force Housing, Brett Tippey analyzes the politics surrounding the competition, the nature of the collaborative relationship between Neutra and the Spaniards, the details of the (unbuilt) designs, and the enduring impact ofNeutra’s intervention on Spanish architecture. The resources for this study include Neutra’s published texts, Spanish professional journals, and the Richard and Dion Neutra Papers (UCLA), as well as the original dossier Neutra submitted to the competition jury.

Published: March 2021

Background: The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of two different clamping strategies for the construction of the proximal aortocoronary anastomoses on myocardial protection and postoperative outcomes during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we examined prospectively collected data of patients who underwent CABG for a 3-year period. Two hundred consecutive patients, who were diagnosed with triple vessel coronary artery disease (CAD), were selected and divided into two groups. In Group 1 (single clamp) (N = 100), venoaortic proximal anastomoses were performed using a single aortic cross-clamp, while in Group 2 (double clamp) (N = 100), proximal anastomoses were performed by using an aortic side clamp. Operative and postoperative outcomes of the patients were compared between the two groups. The serum levels of myocardial damage biomarkers, creatine phosphokinase-MB (CPK-MB), and high sensitive Troponin (hsTnI) results were measured preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively (6, 12, 24, and 48 hours).
Results: Patient demographics and characteristics were similar between the two groups. In Group 1, cross-clamp duration time (65 min versus 49 min; P = .0001) was longer. However, perfusion time (91 min versus 85 min; P = .61) was similar between the two groups. In Group 2, postoperative CK-MB levels were significantly higher intraoperatively (P = .18), 6 hours (P = .22), 24 hours (P = .001), and 48 hours (P = .001) than in Group 1. HsTnI was only significantly higher in Group 2 versus Group 1 at 24 hours (P = .001) and 48 hours (P = .01) postoperatively. Time of intensive care unit stay, duration of extubation, and length of hospital stay were similar in both groups.
Conclusion: The technique used for proximal anastomosis has a significant effect on perioperative results, especially on myocardial protection.
Cyborgs and Fox Wives

Using an arts based posthumanist lens, (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987; jagodzinski & Wallin, 2013) I examine my evolving beliefs about American Sign Language (ASL) through the analysis of arts based data (poetry) (Leavy, 2015). Central to my analysis is an examination of Western domination and control of the language used by ‘othered’ communities through the imposition of dualisms, binaries and categories in sign language ideologies (Canagarajah, 2013). This exploration traces the evolution of sign language ideologies embraced by the deaf cyborg subject featured in the poetry volume as she explores ways to survive and resist the effects of a monolingual language ideology embedded in an imaginary assemblage containing intra-actions between human, animal, earth and machine (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987).
Malignant Hypertension
Authors: Carr Emily Rose
Published: March 2021

Abstract:

Case review follows a 49-year-old patient with malignant hypertension with retinopathy and resultant visual decline.

Case Report: Severely uncontrolled hypertension manifested as malignant hypertensive retinopathy. The patient presented with substantial retinal and visual changes and was monitored over 6 months. While the patient experienced marked improvement in visual acuity, significant retinal damage occurred and the patient experienced persistent qualitative vision and visual field loss.

Discussion: Observed fundus changes are consistent with advanced risk for morbidity and mortality associated with hypertension. Management of systemic disease is a critical step in reversing retinal manifestations and minimizing the risk for permanent vision loss. The criticality of systemic treatment also applies to lowed risk for systemic vascular events that may compromise quality of life. This case demonstrates that improvement in Snellen acuity does not always parallel functional visual improvement. Eye care providers managing these cases should consider both systemic risks and visual outcome.

A vaccine is considered to be one of the best options in public health safety, specifically when there is no effective vaccine available against that infectious disease.6 Classic vaccine development often takes years, but developing a vaccine for the prevention of Covid- 19 has turned out to be a race between viruses and humans, and along with the identification of other similar strains has made it more difficult. COVID- 19 has serious and life-threatening complications and no one knows how COVID- 19 is affecting.13 Firstly vaccines are given to health care workers in public and private. The vaccine is first given to one crore healthcare workers around India working in both government and private hospitals according to the recommendation by NEGVAC. It is mandatory to monitor the patient for the next 15 minutes after taking the Covid 19 Vaccine shot. Most of the side effects occur within the next 3 days after vaccination. If someone has a history of allergic reactions which is not related to vaccines or injectable medications, they can still take Covid 19 Vaccine. If someone getting an immediate allergic reaction after getting the first dose of Covid 19 Vaccine, then he/she should not take the second dose of the vaccine. Even though the vaccination strategy throughout the globe is in peak, the people are asked to follow the similar guidelines to prevent the transmission of corona virus. Therefore throughout the world, several ministries of health and family welfare have asked people to maintain social distancing, wearing facemasks in public, using hand sanitizers, washing hands, avoid crowded places and maintain personal hygiene.

The use of Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as well as the infecting agent H Pylori has been attributed as the prominent common etiological factor for peptic ulcers in patients. Distinguishing proof of Helicobacter pylori as the essential etiologic factor in the improvement of peptic ulcer illness and the perception that the frequency of H. pylori increments with age have brought up the issue of a potential synergistic connection between the presence of H. pylori contamination and NSAID use in the improvement of treatment in gastroenterology. Both H.Pylori and NSAIDs have, nevertheless, been appeared to affect the creation rate and the nature of gastric cyclic AMP, the bodily fluid layer, mucosal prostaglandins, blood stream, and platelet-activating factor.  Therefore, it is necessary to determine the risk factors such as age and history of peptic ulcers of the patient prior to prescribing. A co-prescription may be important to reduce the risk of peptic ulcers in patients of high risk. Since H.Pylori infection remains the world's most common chronic bacterial infection, it has been suggested that the establishment of a synergistic or additive effect of H.Pylori infection and NSAID use in the development of peptic ulcer is of great clinical importance as eradication of the bacterium is likely to reduce the risk of upper gastrointestinal complications in infected NSAID users. The prevention and overcoming of NSAIDS induced peptic ulcer and H Pylori induced peptic ulcer is embedded in the thorough understanding and assessment of pathophysiology and other underlying causes in each individual patient. There are wide range of studies that emphasize on the various methods of overcoming these conditions as well as understanding the co factors for the risk of ulcer. The main aim of the treatment is to protect the gastric mucosal layer from further eroding away and heal the mucosal ulcer as soon as possible to avoid further complications.
