Authors: Aliman Norazam , Ramli Rizauddin , Amiri Mohammad Soleimani
Published: January 2024

Research has shown that rehabilitation lower limb exoskeletons (RLLEs) are effective tools for improving recovery or regaining lower limb function. This device interacts with the limbs of patients. Thus, actuators and power transmission mechanisms are the key factors in determining smooth human‒machine interaction and comfort in physical therapy activities. A multitude of distinct technologies have been proposed. However, we questioned which consideration point in actuator selection and power transmission mechanisms are used for RLLE. A review of the technical characteristics and status of advanced RLLE designs is discussed. We review actuator selection for RLLE devices. Furthermore, the power transmission mechanisms over the years within each of the RLLE devices are presented. The development issues and possible research directions related to actuators and power transmission mechanisms are provided. Most RLLEs are still in the research phase, and only a few have been commercialized. The aim of this paper is to provide researchers with useful information for investigating technological progress and highlight the latest technological choices in RLLE development.

Objectives

Seizures (SZ) are one of the main complications occurring in infants undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH) due to perinatal asphyxia (PA) and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Phenobarbital (PB) is the first-line therapeutic strategy, although data on its potential side-effects need elucidation. We investigated whether: i) PB administration in PA-HIE TH-treated infants affects S100B urine levels, and ii) S100B could be a reliable early predictor of SZ.

Methods

We performed a prospective case-control study in 88 PA-HIE TH infants, complicated (n=44) or not (n=44) by SZ requiring PB treatment. S100B urine levels were measured at 11 predetermined monitoring time-points from first void up to 96-h from birth. Standard-of-care monitoring parameters were also recorded.

Results

S100B significantly increased in the first 24-h independently from HIE severity in the cases who later developed SZ and requested PB treatment. ROC curve analysis showed that S100B, as SZ predictor, at a cut-off of 2.78 μg/L achieved a sensitivity/specificity of 63 and 84 %, positive/negative predictive values of 83 and 64 %.

Conclusions

The present results offer additional support to the usefulness of S100B as a trustable diagnostic tool in the clinical daily monitoring of therapeutic and pharmacological procedures in infants complicated by PA-HIE.

I will also discuss related motives attached to Airy moments constructed by Sabbah and Yu. In particular, the computation shows that there are Hodge numbers bigger than 1 in most cases.
Everyday Ethnicity and Popular Responses to Nation-Building Projects in Moldova After 1989
Authors: Negură Petru , Suveica Svetlana
Published: January 2024

This introductory article highlights the main developments in the Republic of Moldova from the breakup of the Soviet Union to the present from the perspective of national sentiment and manifestations. Using Mark Beissinger’s concept of “tides of nationalism”, the article examines the bottom-up ethnic mobilisation between the “quiet” and the “noisy” phases of national projects in Moldova. With the persistence of the “quiet” phase of nationalism, in the last three decades, Moldova’s population transitioned from identification based on ethnicity to one focused on civic coexistence. However, Russia’s attack on Ukraine risks disrupting this balance, while contributing to the resurgence of ethnic sentiment at the expense of civic cohesion. Following an analysis of the literature in the field of “everyday nationalism”, the authors present the contributions to this thematic section, highlighting the relevance of the Republic of Moldova’s case within the regional and international context.

Can Ecuador Avoid Becoming a Narco-State?
Authors: Freeman Will
Published: January 2024

Ecuador until recently was known as a haven of relative peace in its region, but it is in the process of being transformed by surging crime. The country’s homicide rate is now among the highest in Latin America; a presidential candidate campaigning on an anti-crime platform was assassinated in 2023. Since 2020, increasingly brazen narco-traffickers have been battling for control of the country’s ports, and criminal gangs are threatening to capture the state. The origins of the crisis date back a decade and a half, and it has gathered momentum with policy blunders by successive presidents on both left and right.

A Solicitous Science
Authors: Watson Matthew C.
Published: January 2024

Three visions of anthropology collided in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas in the 1950s. Infrastructural improvements, indigenista politics, and increased US social science funding intensified research on Indigenous Chiapas. The scene drew together imperial travelers, modernist ethnographers, and Mexican development administrators. Among them was Danish explorer-archaeologist Frans Blom, who struggled to establish his estate as a reputationally redeeming fieldwork institute. This article parses how some modernist anthropologists distanced themselves from Blom’s imperial legacy, while others pressed his ideas of cultural continuity into implicit, controversial claims for their centrality to ancient and modern Maya studies writ large.
Civil Responsibility Model of Coastal State to Oil Pollution in the Sea as the Impact from the Stipulation of Dumping Area by Tanker Ship
Authors: Purwendah Elly Kristiani , Djatmiko Agoes , Pudyastiwi Elisabeth
Published: January 2024

The research findings reveal a pluralistic understanding of dumping within the Indonesian Legal System, evident in various laws, including Law No. 17 of 1985 on the Ratification of UNCLOS, Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management, Government Regulation No. 29 of 2014 on the Prevention of Environmental Pollution, Ministerial Regulation No. 136 of 2015 on the Second Amendment to Ministerial Regulation No. 52 of 2011 on Dredging and Reclamation, and Ministerial Decree No. 4 of 2005 on the Prevention of Pollution from Ships. Dumping countermeasures are primarily perceived as acts related to dredging and reclamation, identified as contributors to the silting of shipping channels. Notably, Indonesia has not ratified the London Dumping Convention, and there is a lack of a definitive list specifying wastes requiring special arrangements and absolute prohibition within the coastal states' territories. Consequently, compensation has not been prioritized as a state-led measure for marine environmental protection. The state's responsibility, enforced through the State Attorney, necessitates procedural formalities, including a special power of attorney. Collaborative efforts with relevant institutions, particularly the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, are deemed essential. The current landscape in Indonesia reveals overlapping authorities among agencies, leading to conflicting interpretations of civil lawsuit issues related to environmental damages. The proposed model advocates for centralizing environmental priorities within the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, coordinated through the State Attorney, as a strategic step towards addressing these complex issues.

Introduction

Treatment of patients with pediatric differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) often involves radioiodine (RAI), which is associated with increased risks of short- and long-term adverse outcomes. The impact of RAI treatment on the female reproductive system remains uncertain. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a marker of ovarian reserve and is related to fertility.

Objective

The aim was to analyze the association between RAI and serum AMH level in women treated with RAI.

Methods

We evaluated women with pediatric DTC treated with RAI at the age of ≤19 years. Serum AMH was measured.

Results

The study included 47 patients with a mean age of 25.1 years (12.4–50.8) at AMH measurement and follow-up of 11.8 ± 8.4 years. The mean RAI administered was 235 mCi (30–1150). Sixteen (34%) received multiple RAI doses (471 ± 215 mCi). Mean AMH level was 2.49 ng/mL (0.01–7.81); the level was 1.57 ng/mL (0.01–7.81) after multiple RAI doses and 2.99 ng/mL (0.01–6.63) after a single RAI dose (P = 0.01). Patients who received a cumulative RAI lower than 200 mCi had higher AMH levels (2.23 ng/mL, 0.39–7.81) than those who received more (1.0 ng/mL, 0.01–6.63; P = 0.02). In patients with similar cumulative RAI activities, administration of multiple RAI doses was significantly and independently associated with AMH level lower than the reference range for age (HR: 5.9, 1.55–52.2, P = 0.014) after age adjustments.

Conclusion

Levels of AMH were lower after multiple RAI doses, especially after a cumulative RAI dose above 200 mCi. More studies are needed to clarify the impact of RAI on fertility considering its cumulative activity and treatment strategy.
An Analysis of the Linguistic Features of a Green Public Relations Campaign
Authors: Dmitrieva Darya Antonovna , Glukhova Olga Vladimirovna
Published: January 2024

The article discusses the linguistic aspect of a green public relations (PR) campaign as one of the central means of contemporary promotion. An extensive theoretical background on eco PR history, instruments and usage related to the linguistic aspects is provided. The paper contains detailed information on the appearance and development of effective green PR campaigns based on a discourse analysis of the green PR campaigns of three internationally well-known brands. The empirical evidence was collected using a three-stage research framework based on a discourse-analysis methodology. The first stage describes the green PR strategies employed by Apple, H&M and Lush. The second step highlights and analyzes the common linguistic traits of these green PR campaigns and in the third part all the highlighted linguistic features are thematically collated for conclusions to be drawn. This research proves that in order to create a convincing green PR campaign, an organization needs to be aware of inherent linguistic characteristics of eco PR to formulate a strong message and lead unbreakable eco politics.
Exploration of prognostic predictors in Vikruteha vignaneeyam chapter of Ashtanga Sangraha
Authors: Mamidi Prasad , Gupta Kshama
Published: January 2024

Ashtanga Sangraha is a popular Ayurvedic classical text written by Vriddha Vagbhata or Vagbhata I in Sanskrit language around 500 AD. It has earned its right place among the great treatises of Ayurveda. Vagbhata has compiled prognostic aspects within 4 chapters (from 9 to 12) of Shareera Sthana of Ashtanga Sangraha (SSAS). Vikruteha Vignaneeyam is the 10th chapter of SSAS and it is the compilation of various Arishta Lakshanas pertaining to abnormal behaviour or psychomotor activity suggestive of fatal signs and symptoms explained within 35 verses. Ashtanga Sangraha has not received much attention and the research done in this area is negligible. The present work is aimed to analyse the contents of Vikruteha Vignaneeyam chapter of SSAS in terms of prognostic significance and current relevance. Contents of the Vikruteha Vignaneeyam chapter represent various terminal illnesses or end-of-life stages. Vagbhata has done comprehensive presentation of Arishta Vignana (prognostic knowledge) with concise explanations in Vikruteha Vignaneeyam chapter of SSAS.

Authors: Takashima Mari , Ezure Yukiko , Furuya-Kanamori Luis , Wolf Joshua , Dufficy Mitchell , Gibson Victoria , Clark Julia , Ullman Amanda
Published: January 2024

CONTEXT:

Central venous access device (CVAD) locks are routine interventions used to prevent and treat complications, such as infection, thrombosis, and catheter occlusion.

OBJECTIVE:

To compare and rank lock-solutions for prevention or treatment of complications in pediatrics. Design Systematic review and network meta-analysis.

DATA SOURCES:

Five databases and 2 clinical trial registries were searched.

STUDY SELECTION:

Published and unpublished randomized controlled trials that enrolled pediatric patients with a CVAD and compared the effectiveness of lock-solutions.

DATA EXTRACTION:

Data extraction was conducted by 2 reviewers. Odds ratio (OR) for prevention or treatment of CVAD-associated bloodstream infection (BSI), thrombosis, occlusion, CVAD-failure, and mortality were calculated, with point estimates ranking lock-solutions.

RESULTS:

Twenty-nine studies were included. Chelating agents and antibiotic locks given as prevention were associated with lower odds (OR: 0.11; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.02–0.67; moderate-quality; OR: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.05–0.79, high-quality, respectively) of CVAD-associated BSI compared with heparinized saline (reference). Preventative thrombolytic agents had lower odds (OR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.44–0.93; low-quality) of CVAD occlusion, whereas ethanol had higher odds (OR: 2.84, 95% CI: 1.31–6.16; high-quality) compared with heparinized saline (reference). No lock solution had effects on thrombosis prevention or treatment, CVAD-failure, CVAD-associated BSI treatment failure, or mortality.

LIMITATIONS:

There was substantial uncertainty around the point estimates because of the limited number of studies for outcomes and study heterogeneity. More high-quality studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of lock solutions.

CONCLUSIONS:

Chelating agents and antibiotic locks may be effective for CVAD-associated BSI prevention in pediatrics. Thrombolytic agents can be an option for CVAD occlusion prevention, whereas ethanol may not be recommended.
Bringing together second language acquisition and aphasiology to understand language (re-)learning
Authors: Collins Andrew , Castro Nichol
Published: January 2024

The understanding of how individuals learn a second language (L2) may be informative to the understanding of how persons with aphasia (PWA) re-learn or rehabilitate impaired language processes. The purpose of this review is to draw connections between knowledge in second language acquisition (SLA) with aphasiology. We first provide a brief overview of SLA and compare the populations of L2 learners and persons with aphasia. We then provide a specific example application of SLA theory to aphasiology in the context of morphology. Finally, we discuss three additional considerations that must be accounted for when bridging SLA and aphasiology research: bi/multilingualism, individual differences in cognition, and language of study.

Published: January 2024

The focus on the interests of children has always been inherent in the Russian State, but the most effective measures have been implemented already in this century: 4 years before WHO announced the Global Strategy for Mothers and Children in 2016, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the Decree on the National Strategy for Children for 2012–2017, in 2017. The President announced the “Decade of Childhood”, and in 2020 The priority of childhood was enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. In the Russian Federation, the most child-oriented system of children’s healthcare has been built, in medical and scientific organizations of the pediatric profile of the Russian Federation, specialists with medical, biomedical, psychological, pedagogical, and social education are specially trained to work with children of different ages, and scientific research in the field of pediatrics is carried out by specialized researchers within the framework of special programs focused on the needs of children’s healthcare. A detailed analysis of the structure and content of the projects implemented in 2022 has been carried out. Scientific projects involving children compared to 2018, when the implementation of the “Decade of Childhood” program began, which indicates that scientific research in the field of children’s health and development is voluminous, but uncoordinated. Many topics are carried out simultaneously by several scientific and medical or educational organizations, but they are not coordinated in unified scientific and methodological approaches. At the same time, there are systemic problems, to solve which it is necessary to switch to network scientific research of population health; to strengthen the integration of research teams both in the context of interdepartmental cooperation (the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation — Rospotrebnadzor — Federal Medical and Biological Agency), and joint scientific work with other ministries (the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, etc.); as well as to improve financial mechanisms for managing scientific activities.

Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Kim Yunjae , Lee Dohyung
Published: January 2024

This study aims to present the strategic direction of domestic shipping companies by comparing and analyzing the management strategies of representative Korean, Chinese, and Japanese East Asian shipping companies that are competitive in the frequently changing shipping industry. As a research method, literature research and case studies were conducted. The results of this study are as follows. First of all, most East Asian shipping companies were found to be adopting both a cost leadership strategy and a strategic partnership strategy, but as seen in the cases of Japanese and Chinese companies, it is also considered a strategy worth considering to solidify the position of the shipping industry by choosing a centralized strategy that provides more reliable maritime transport services to specific customers. Next, a common problem among shipping companies was found to be low punctuality. To solve this problem, introduce a logistics system that optimizes ship operation routes using big data analysis and provide customer support from ship and cargo schedule inquiries to real-time tracking. It appears that a differentiated strategy is needed to provide all transportation-related services.

Introdução: O hormônio de crescimento (GH) é um hormônio anabólico que muitas vezes é utilizado por atletas e por pessoas que frequentam academias com o objetivo de aumentar a massa muscular, porém é sabido que esse hormônio proliferativo pode causar efeitos indesejáveis no organismo, este estudo foi pensado para mimetizar o uso de GH junto com o treinamento resistido em jovens em fase de crescimento. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o efeito da administração do GH associado ou não ao treinamento físico na bioquímica sérica, peso corporal e no peso dos órgãos de ratos Wistar. Métodos: Os ratos foram divididos em quatro grupos (n=10): CT (grupo controle); GH (grupo com administração de 0,2 UI/Kg de GH); TR (grupo com treinamento resistido); e TRGH (grupo submetido ao treinamento resistido e ao GH). Após 30 dias, a bioquímica sérica, o peso dos animais, peso dos órgãos e comprimento e circunferência abdominal foram mensurados. Resultados: O grupo GH apresentou maior comprimento corpóreo final e maior peso dos testículos e o GHTR teve menor gordura retroabdominal. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a administração de GH em jovens resulta em aumento do crescimento corporal, somente quando não associada ao treinamento resistido. Quando o GH é combinado com treinamento resistido resulta na redução da gordura retroabdominal, que é importante efeito cardioprotetor, porém aumenta os níveis de CK-MB, que indica desgaste cardíaco devido ao treinamento resistido. Na dose utilizada e tempo utilizados, o GH não altera o perfil lipídico, nem a glicemia de animais não obesos.

Published: January 2024

A modalidade sprint do esporte orientação é um evento de média duração (12-15min) com picos de intensidade e consequentemente variações da demanda metabólica. A habilidade em recrutar de maneira específica a ação muscular sem redução no desempenho é determinante do resultado final do atleta. A metodologia do treinamento empregada nessa modalidade deve considerar o metabolismo anaeróbio, mesmo que com menor participação durante todo evento, como importante fator limitante do desempenho. A partir dessa observação, o presente estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar a necessidade de utilização de formas de treinamento de provas de meio fundo e fundo como base para atletas desta modalidade sprint. A literatura disponível fornece importantes informações com base em eventos de média e longa distância, porém há uma importante lacuna acerca de provas de sprint. A pesar disso, as informações disponíveis contribuíram para demonstrar que o metabolismo anaeróbio é importante fator determinante do desempenho. Concluiu-se então que o programa de treinamento da temporada esportiva deve contemplar aspectos do treinamento anaeróbio com objetivo de aprimorar o desempenho em provas de orientação sprint minimizando os efeitos do aumento do lactato sanguíneo devido aos picos de intensidade e variação na velocidade de corrida durante a prova.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic is a global challenge, marked by uncertainties in prevention and therapeutic management. Objective:This study aimed to describe case studies and investigate how institutional, organizational, governance and political (IOGP) factors influenced decision-making and implementation of public health interventions in Southern Brazil. Methods: Retrospective case studies were conducted using data from state and national health websites in 2020-2021. Data on mortality and cases relating to the population were analyzed and the impact of climatic and cultural aspects on the spread of the pandemic was assessed. Results:The results revealed different dynamics of COVID-19 in the states of the Southern region, often marked by limited commitment from both the population and state authorities. As cases fell, restrictions were eased, promoting a return to normality. Analysis of the determinants of COVID-19 highlighted the interplay between unemployment, education, and state-specific policies. Factors such as inadequate sanitation, limited access to education and healthcare, crowded public transport and challenges associated with isolation have contributed to the transmission of the virus. Conclusion:In summary, this study highlights the influence of IOGP factors in shaping responses to the pandemic, with variations in results and public commitment observed among the states in southern Brazil. Addressing factors such as basic sanitation and access to education is crucial to mitigating the impact of the virus and promoting better public health outcomes.

Para isso foram recrutados 3 pacientes que praticam a paracanoagem submetidos a terapia auricular seguindo como base três pontos: SHEM MEN, RIM e NERVOS SIMPÁTICOS. Para a coleta dos dados, foi utilizado o método de coleta por nuvens de palavras no final da semana. Com a aplicação do protocolo, segundo a perspectiva do paciente, houve melhora principalmente na qualidade do sono e disposição, o que foram sitadas nas três semanas de aplicação do atleta durante a semana de treinamentos. Conclui-se portanto que a auriculoterapia demonstrou ser um recurso eficaz para melhorar a disposição, qualidade do sono e diversos aspectos de bem-estar dos atletas. No entanto, são necessários estudos adicionais com amostras maiores para explorar mais a fundo seu potencial terapêutico.

Authors: Cunha Hortêncio Marco Antônio
Published: January 2024

Introdução:  O uso  do ultrassom (US) em diferentes aplicações na área da saúde  tem ganhado destaque, devido ao fato do US poder ser usado como fonte de energia para a ocorrência de reações químicas. O US apresenta diferentes formas de uso, nas mais variadas frequências, sendo que na área da fisioterapia seu uso ocorre nas frequências de 1 e 3 MHz. Na fisioterapia, o ultrassom terapêutico consiste na utilização do aparelho para efeitos térmicos na região que necessita de tratamento: redução da dor, redução de espasmos musculares, aumento da extensibilidade tecidual e melhora do fluxo sanguíneo local.    A fonoforese é uma técnica que facilita a penetração cutânea através da energia ultrassônica na desorganização da estrutura lipídica da epiderme, utilizando como meio de contato entre o cabeçote do aparelho e a pele com medicamento.  O objetivo do presente estudo é investigar e  evidenciar o efeito da utilização da fonoforese em alterações musculoesqueléticas.   Métodos: Resultados:dos resultados e desfechos dos estudos escolhidos, observou-se que a maioria desses estudos utiliza desfechos semelhantes. Como resultado, em síntese, a maioria dos estudos concluiu que o uso da fonoforese foi eficaz para os desfechos avaliados, em curto prazo, e principalmente que esse tratamento foi eficaz, facilitando a redução da inflamação e da dor e das alterações musculoesqueléticas. Conclusão: Todos os estudos demonstraram efeito positivo da fonoforese no alívio da dor, redução da rigidez articular, melhora da capacidade funcional e função física nos distúrbios musculoesqueléticos.

THE ISSUE OF SOCIAL EDUCATION IN THE FAMILY IN KYRGYZSTAN AND THE VIEWS OF SCIENTISTS
Authors:   Bishkek State University named after K.Karasaev, Sabyrova Elzada
Published: January 2024

In this article, the author considers the problem of social education of children. Public education is always in the center of state attention as a strategic issue in all countries. After all, the social education of children is shown as a means of transferring socio-historical experience, culture, spiritual and moral traditions accumulated by mankind, the people and society. The article presents social education based on pedagogical and theoretical ideas. Thinkers have always talked and are talking about the idea of educating the best human qualities in the rising generations. The author believes that regardless of changes in the nature of education, in family education, as a rule, it is necessary to follow family precepts arising from the consciousness of the people. The author, considering how much we talk about social education lately, but the fact that it is not carried out, is undoubtedly our most important problem.
Vigilar y performar. La cadena de suministro de la madera ilegal en Perú
Authors: Mujica Jaris , Zevallos-Trigoso Nicolás Antonio , Campos-Vásquez Christian
Published: January 2024

Entre 37 y 68% de la madera peruana tendría origen ilegal. El objetivo de este estudio es describir esta cadena de suministro en la región de Ucayali. El principal aporte es la elaboración y diagramación de una secuencia de eslabones, actividades y tareas (sostenida en la recolección de documentos de gestión, entrevistas en terreno y observación, basada en la metodología de los crime-scripts), mediante la cual se identifican mecanismos de evasión de los controles ambientales, tributarios y laborales, que explicarían el origen ilegal. Se identifica una severa brecha entre la cadena de suministro y la estructura normativa desarrollada por el Estado, lo que muestra instrumentos formales sostenidos en mecanismos declarativos que conducen a plantear la idea de un Estado que “performa” el control, realizando una teatralización formal de la vigilancia, mientras asume la existencia de una lógica ilegal extendida.
Utilization of hydrodynamic modelling to quantify water losses from the Sundays River between Darlington Dam and Korhaans Drift Weir
Authors: Aldré Nel  , DE Bosman  , GR Basson
Published: January 2024

This study quantified transfer losses over the 2021/2022 water year for irrigation releases from Darlington Dam into the Sundays River, which are diverted at the Korhaans Drift Weir.  A one-dimensional (1D) hydrodynamic model was set up and calibrated to simulate the transfer losses which were assumed to consist primarily of evaporation and evapotranspiration (ET). Flow measurements were undertaken with an acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) to verify the calibrations of the Parshall flumes at Darlington Dam and at Korhaans Drift Weir.  The ADCP results showed that the Department of Water and Sanitation’s (DWS’s) existing discharge tables underestimated lower flows by 13% and higher flows by 16%.  The hydrodynamic model results also estimated transfer losses between Darlington Dam and Korhaans Drift to range between 2.0% and 5.3%.  It was determined that the transfer losses were seasonal and were lower than those determined by similar studies for other South African rivers.

Authors: Park Jae Gun , Lee Se-Jin
Published: January 2024

Background: The goal of this study was to investigate the incidence and type of seizurerelated injuries (SRIs) in patients presenting with seizures to the emergency department (ED) and to determine the risk factors of SRIs.Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we surveyed all seizure patients aged 18 years and older who visited the ED of Yeungnam University Hospital between October 2017 and September 2019. We excluded patients who developed seizures secondary to cardiac arrest or acute head trauma.Results: A total of 165 patients were enrolled and SRIs occurred in 33 patients (20.0%). The most common SRI was head injury (35.3%), followed by soft tissue injury (29.4%) and orolingual injury (17.6%). Most injuries were single, minor injury and required little or no treatment. Death occurred in one patient (3.0%) with SRIs due to intracranial hemorrhage. On univariate analysis, young age (p<0.001), history of alcohol use disorder (p=0.005), hypertension (p=0.022) and stroke (p=0.032), falling during seizure (p<0.001), seizure cluster (p=0.001), convulsive status epilepticus (p=0.034), generalized tonic-clonic seizure (p=0.010), initial blood ammonia level (p=0.007), and alcohol-related seizure (p=0.032) predicted the occurrence of SRIs. All patients with SRIs were independent in daily activities. On multiple logistic regression analysis, five variables remained significant: young age (p=0.037), history of alcohol use disorder (p=0.040), falling during seizure (p<0.001), seizure cluster (p=0.013), and convulsive status epilepticus (p=0.032).Conclusions: Young age, history of alcohol use disorder, falling during seizure, seizure cluster, and convulsive status epilepticus predicted SRIs in people presenting with seizure.

In Peninsular Malaysia, the Master Plan of Ecological Linkages has proposed ecological corridors at Chini-Bera forests complex to connect the forest patches. However, the proposed corridors have been determined arbitrarily without evaluating the reliability of the landscape structure which may cause liability in conservation effort. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the potential ecological corridors by considering the reliability of landscape structure in Chini-Bera forests complex using Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus) as a focal species. The tapir was chosen because it is one of the target large mammals in the master plan. In this study, three landscape structures, i.e., patch size, patch distance and landscape resistance were used as parameters in modelling the potential ecological corridors for tapirs. In the modelling, circuit theory, connectivity analysis and least-cost path were integrated using the geographic information systems and remote sensing platforms. The model has identified a total of 35 potential ecological corridors for tapir of which over 50% connect the large core areas while the other 25% connect the small core areas. Meanwhile, four corridors can be considered as priority corridor as their effective resistance below 1000 which indicate easy movement and high connectivity. The findings showed the importance to consider the reliability of the patch size, patch distance dan landscape resistance in determining the potential ecological corridors of wildlife to avoid liability in conservation effort. In addition, the integrated modelling approach contributes to a more concrete assessment of ecological corridors for effective wildlife conservation planning.
