El objetivo de este estudio es analizar desenlaces clínicos de oxigenoterapia con cánula nasal de alto flujo (CNAF) en niños con dificultad respiratoria aguda en un servicio de urgencias. Estudio longitudinal, retrospectivo de datos panel en niños con diagnóstico de dificultad respiratoria moderada- severa. El resultado primario de interés fue ingreso a unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos (UCIP) o requerir intubación 24 horas posteriores al inicio de la terapia. Se calcularon medidas de frecuencia y tendencia central. Los grupos se compararon con las pruebas Chi2, Fisher, Wilcoxon y Kruskal-Wallis. El análisis de datos panel balanceados identificó puntos de inflexión en las curvas de normalización de respuesta respiratoria. Un total de 339 niños de 0 a 16 años cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Mayoría hombres (62,24%), mediana de edad 2 años (RIQ= 0,75-3) y neumonía como principal causa de dificultad respiratoria (33,92%). El ingreso a UCIP (14,5%) y la intubación (0,9%) fue baja en la cohorte. En las primeras tres horas con CNAF se evidenció mejoría en los parámetros respiratorios, sin diferencias significativas entre pacientes con y sin respuesta clínica (frecuencia cardiaca p=0,317; frecuencia respiratoria p=0,423; SatO2 p=0,297; FiO2 p=0,116). No se presentaron eventos adversos ni casos de mortalidad. Los resultados sugieren que la oxigenoterapia con CNAF puede ser una alternativa de soporte respiratorio inicial en niños *16 años con dificultad respiratoria moderada a severa. La incidencia de intubación e ingreso a UCIP fue baja. La CNAF fue bien tolerada en los diferentes grupos de edad.

Published: March 2022

Background and study aims: The prognostic value of H. pylori, which infects more than half of the human population living in the world and plays a role in gastric cancer pathogenesis, is controversial. Our aim is to investigate the relationship between H. pylori and prognostic factors in gastric cancer.

Patients and methods: The data of 110 patients (38 females and 72 males) that underwent surgeries due to gastric cancer between 2014 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The relationships between survival (disease-free and overall) and factors such as p53, HER2/neu, Ki-67, neutrophil and platelet lymphocyte ratio (NLR / PLR), histopathological and demographic characteristics were examined. In addition, the results of H. pylori positive and negative groups were compared.

Results: Sixty-one (55%) patients were H. pylori negative and 49 (45%) were positive. In multivariate analysis, TNM stage, lymph node capsule invasion and NLR were determined as independent prognostic factors in both disease-free and overall survival. Age>62 and PLR>14.3 were determined as independent predictive factors of poor prognosis in overall survival. In univariate analysis, tumor diameter of >4.3 cm, lymphovascular and perineural invasion, and diffuse p53 expression were determined as predictive factors of poor prognosis in disease-free and overall survival. The effectiveness of these markers in prognosis was not different between H. pylori negative and positive groups.

Conclusion: While age, tumor diameter, TNM stage, lymph node capsule invasion, perineural and lymphovascular invasion, diffuse p53, PLR, and NLR were determined as prognostic factors in gastric cancer, these factors were not affected by the presence of H. pylori.
Without the Right Adapters a Force Calibration Technician is Nothing Short of Being Called a Miracle Worker
Authors:   Morehouse Instrument Company, Zumbrun Henry
Published: March 2022

Think about that for a minute. Would you want a surgeon to operate on you with kitchen utensils such as a serrated knife? Then why do some people (management cough) expect or ask the force calibration technician to calibrate load cells, truck & aircraft scales, tension links, dynamometers, and other force measuring devices with whatever they have in their laboratory. Adapters that could range from unsafe, to an improperly machined adapter that allows them to fixture the force measuring device in the frame to apply forces and record output at those forces. You must ask why is this happening? Is it just that people are oblivious to the importance of adapters in mechanical measurements? Not using the proper adapters to calibrate load cells, truck scales, aircraft scales, tension links, dynamometers, and other force measuring devices can produce significant measurement errors and pose serious safety concerns. The purpose of this paper is to examine safety concerns with using older adapters and discuss some of the error sources associated with using the wrong adapters. We will leave the rest up to the reader on whether it makes sense to seek out the appropriate adapters and have skilled calibration technicians or simply hope the technician can maintain the "miracle worker" title. Though some calibration technicians may still wear the miracle worker hat when the manufacturer writes specifications that were achieved once and never repeated, but I regress as this is an educational paper and we will not be discussing unrealistic specifications. Instead, we will be discussing using the adapters that will give a calibration technician the highest probability of meeting those specifications.

Abstract. This study reports measurements of size-resolved aerosol composition at a site in Incheon along with other aerosol characteristics for contrast between Incheon (coastal) and Seoul (inland), South Korea, during a transboundary pollution event during the early part of an intensive sampling period between 4 and 11 March 2019. Anthropogenic emissions were dominant in the boundary layer over the study region between 4 and 6 March, with much smaller contributions from dust, smoke, and sea salt. Seoul exhibits higher PM2.5 levels than Incheon due likely to local emissions and a meteorological set up (shallow boundary layer, enhanced humidity, and low temperature) promoting local heterogeneous formation of secondary inorganic and organic species, including atypically high nitrate (NO3-) relative to sulfate (SO42-). The following findings point to secondary aerosol formation and growth sensitivity to water vapor during this pollution event: (i) significant concentrations of individual inorganic and organic acids in the supermicrometer range relative to their full size range (~40 %) at higher humidity; (ii) high correlation between oxalate and SO42-; (iii) increased sulfur and nitrogen oxidation ratios as a function of humidity; and (iv) matching composition apportionment (for soluble ions) between the PM1 and PM2.5-1 size fractions. The last finding confirms that PM1 aerosol composition measurements fully capture PM2.5 composition apportionment (for soluble ions) during haze events and, therefore, may be reliably applied in modeling studies of such events over the full PM2.5 size range. The study period was marked by relatively low temperatures that made NO3- the most abundant species detected, pointing to the sensitivity of PM2.5 levels and composition as a function of season during such transboundary events. For instance, other such events in previous studies exhibited more comparable levels between SO42- and NO3- coincident with higher temperatures than the current study. This dataset can contribute to future evaluation of model PM2.5 composition to better support regulatory efforts to control PM2.5 precursors.
Snowfall in Northern Finland derives mostly from ice clouds

Published: March 2022

Abstract. Cloud properties play a critical role in the Arctic surface energy budget. We present ground-level observations of snowfall coinciding with radiosonde launches in Sodankylä (67.367° N, 26.629° E) through a period of eight cold months (October–April) in 2019 and 2020. They comprise 7401 depositing snow particles detected by a snowflake camera and 468 radiosonde profiles. Our results show that precipitating clouds were extending from ground to at least 2.7 km in altitude. Approximately one quarter of them were mixed-phase and the rest were likely fully glaciated. Estimations of the cloud top temperatures indicate that in roughly half of the snowfall events ice might have been initiated through heterogeneous freezing. For such cases, the predicted ice-nucleating particle concentrations active at cloud top temperatures could explain the analysed ice crystal particle concentrations observed near ground. In a warmer climate, the relative proportion of solid to liquid cloud particles will probably decrease, with implications on the Arctic radiation balance.
A coupled modelling system to assess the effect of Mediterranean storms under climate change

Published: March 2022

Abstract. Climate change will have an undeniable influence on coastal areas. In the last decades, the impact of storm surges has promoted multiple mitigation and adaptation strategies worldwide, including more robust sea defenses, development of integrated modelling chains and warning systems, and improved storm impact management. However, as climate change seems likely to result in increased rates of both sea level rise and storm-related impacts, it is crucial to estimate the local probable extreme sea wave conditions, to properly reproduce the wave and hydrodynamic inshore field, and to investigate the effectiveness of sea defenses under different sea level rise scenarios. This work describes the first steps towards an innovative fully coupled modelling system composed of a hydrodynamic (2DEF) and wind wave model (SWAN). The models are two-way coupled at half-hourly intervals exchanging the following fields: 2D sea level, surface currents and bottom elevation are transferred from 2DEF to SWAN; wave climate computed by SWAN is then passed to 2DEF by modifying the radiation stress. Numerical simulations have been performed to identify the impact of extreme storms at Calabaia beach, Italy, by combining sea level rise and extreme wave projections with the most recent georeferenced territorial data.

O mundo do trabalho atual se apresenta bastante complexo, diversificado e competitivo, exigindo profissionais cada vez mais qualificados, seja em competências técnicas quanto pessoais. Em muitos casos, profissionais são contratados por apresentarem boas qualificações técnicas, mas demitidos pela ausência das competências socioemocionais e não cognitivas. Mediante tal cenário, é necessário realizar uma reformulação dos itinerários formativos desses cursos, com a inclusão dessas competências, sem perda na qualidade técnica. Tal desafio é lento e criterioso, passando por diversas etapas e estágios, até seu completo amadurecimento. Para isso, uma série de fatores permeiam o processo, cada um tendo sua importância, visão e conhecimentos pertinentes e relevantes ao processo de estruturação do projeto pedagógico do curso. Eles devem ser conhecidos e harmonizados para que a construção pedagógica seja significativa e coerente. Para isso, concessões, diálogos devem acontecer em tempo hábil, para que o projeto pedagógico não esteja obsoleto ao ser terminado. Os principais fatores contribuintes nessa reestruturação estão apresentados nesse artigo.

Published: March 2022

A união da aquicultura com a hidroponia resulta na aquaponia. Esta integração dos dois sistemas de produção, peixes e vegetais, permite o reuso da água diminuindo a poluição e também os custos e o aumento da eficiência na produção de alimentos. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a viabilidade técnica de produzir milho hidropônico e um sistema de aquaponia visando a produção da forragem animal. A forragem pode servir como suplementação alimentar de várias espécies de animais, principalmente em períodos secos do ano, onde a pastagem natural se torna escassa. O milho é um cereal bastante utilizado pois possui bom rendimento e boa aceitabilidade dos animais. O sistema de produção pode ser usado o ano todo e pode ser implantado em qualquer região do país. Em regiões com pouca disponibilidade hídrica, a qualidade e quantidade da forragem disponível durante a seca são fundamentais para muitos criadores, como na pecuária de subsistência. A produção de milho para forragem em um sistema aquapônico pode ser considerado uma técnica ecológica, pois não utiliza insumos químicos. O sistema é simples e o custo de produção é baixo, apresenta alta produtividade com ciclos curtos e contínuos gerando resultados rápidos. Na aquaponia podem ser utilizados várias espécies de peixes, sendo a tilápia muito utilizada devido a sua rusticidade e adaptação climática. Essa técnica de produção de alimentos pode reduzir um consumo de água em até 90% e promover o reaproveitamento integral do efluente gerado dentro do próprio sistema, além de produzir alimentos saudáveis e agregar renda ao pequeno produtor.

Published: March 2022

Water is important in African towns and cities, and its quality is paramount to public health. This study therefore, assessed the physicochemical and bacteriological properties of borehole water samples from agricultural, animal farm, and residential areas in Benin City, Edo state. Physicochemical and bacteriological analyses of water samples were based on standard methods. Sheep blood agar was used for hemolytic bacterial isolation, and isolates were subsequently assessed for antibiotic resistance to common antibiotics using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Physicochemical parameters of borehole water samples assessed were within World Health Organization (WHO) standard with the exception of Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Bacterial analyses revealed counts (1.01±0.10×104 to 4.80±0.10×104 cfu/mL) that were above WHO standard of 100 cfu/ mL as well as high coliform count (1.20 ± 0.23 - 3.00 ±0.63 MPN/10 mL) above WHO standard of 0 MPN/ml. Shigella sp. (23.29%) and Bacillus cereus (21.92%) were the two isolates that occurred most in the study. Hemolytic bacterial pathogens recovered were Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus sp. All four pathogens were resistant to the antibiotic ceftriaxone but Staphylococcus aureus had multiple antibiotic resistant index (MRI) of 0.8 before plasmid curing. This study has shown that borehole water could be sources of bacterial pathogens and therefore, should be properly treated before use. This would help to reduce the incidence of waterborne infections in communities.

Published: March 2022

Extra virgin olive oil sample was screened against isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Yersinia enterocolitica using the agar well diffusion method. Most of the microorganisms screened were sensitive to the olive oil and this was dose dependent. The most sensitive organism at 100% dilution was S. aureus with a zone of inhibiton of 36 mm, followed by E. coli and E. aerogenes both having 26 mm inhibiton. The least sensitive was Y. enterocolitica with a zone of 18 mm while absolute resistance was observed in A. niger (0 mm) even at the highest concentration of the olive oil. Varying multiple resistance to conventional antibiotics was observed from test isolates with maximum zones of inhibition of 20 mm, 19 mm, and 16 mm for S. aureus, E. coli, both E. aerogenes and Y. enterocolitica respectively. With a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.013mg/ml against S. aureus, E. coli and Y. enterocolitica, it can be concluded that olive oil has good antibacterial effect at low concentrations. This suggests that olive oil may represent a better therapeutic agent to control infections of the Gastro-intestinal Tract (GIT)

A good educator is one who is not only concerned with fulfilling obligations to the institution but more importantly paying attention to and fostering the morals of his students. The highest dedication of an educator is not only seeing the success and high knowledge of his students but more than that, educators are considered perfect success if their students have good character and morals in the midst of society. This is one thing that cannot be denied, which is often overlooked and even forgotten by educators today, that a student is not only thirsty for IQ (Intelligence Quotients), but also needs guidance and assistance in managing EQ (Emotional Quotients) and SQ (Spirirtual Quotients). . This is where the author is interested in bringing up the process of character education in schools carried out by SMP Negeri 1 Mojoagung Jombang.

Большинство известных методов обнаружения пожаров на основе анализа цвета пикселей используют цветовую модель RGB или комбинируют ее с моделью HSI, в работе для решения поставленной задачи предложено применять цветовую модель CIE LAB, которая обеспечивает более перцептивно однородное цветовое пространство по сравнению с другими цветовыми моделями. При применении данного цветового пространства разработанные решающие правила и метод обнаружения пожаров на изображениях позволяют достаточно точно определять фрагменты при сегментации пикселей, относящихся к огню на изображениях. Исследованы особенности представления данных для задач детектирования пожаров на изображениях. Представлен метод обнаружения пожаров на изображениях с использованием цветовой модели Lab. На основе вычислительных экспериментов показано, что предложенный метод обеспечивает достаточно точное определение фрагментов, содержащих изображение пожаров.
