Patterns of Bacterial Isolates and their Resistance to Antibiotics in Patients with Chemotherapyinduced Febrile Neutropenia at a University Hospital
Authors: Al Saifi Said Ahmed , Al Adawi Badriya , Burney Ikram
Published: August 2021

Objectives: Febrile neutropenia is a major complication of cytotoxic chemotherapy and is associated with a high rate of mortality and morbidity if not treated appropriately. Consequently, it is important to know the bacterial spectrum and pattern of its resistance in each hospital to formulate an appropriate empiric antibiotic regimen. We sought to study the bacterial spectrum in patients with chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and report their resistance patterns. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on patients admitted with febrile neutropenia between January 2010 and December 2016 in the oncology unit at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Oman. Consecutive patients diagnosed with non-hematological malignancies who had febrile neutropenia and positive blood culture were included in this study. Results: A total of 76 bacterial isolates were documented in 67 episodes in 62 patients. There were 26 male and 36 female patients. The median age was 51 (14–81) years. The most common cancers were breast cancer (17.7%), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (16.1%), and colon cancer (14.5%). Gramnegative and gram-positive organisms accounted for 73.7% and 26.3% of all isolates, respectively. The most common gram-negative organisms were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (26.8%), Escherichia coli (23.2%), Klebsiella species (17.9%), and Acinetobacter baumannii (12.5%). The most common gram-positive organisms were Staphylococcus aureus (30.0%), followed by coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (25.0%). There were 14 multidrugresistant organisms and eight extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL). The resistance among gram-negative organisms to the commonly used broad-spectrum antibiotics was 23.5–55.6%. No resistance was recorded against vancomycin amongst the gram-positive organisms. Eight (12.1%) patients died while neutropenic. Conclusions: Gram-negative organisms were the predominant organisms. There is a high rate of resistance to the commonly used antibiotics. Using a combination of antibiotics is warranted in patients presenting with chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia.

Published: August 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo responder a uma questão: onde e como estão crianças e mulheres e suas vidas em tempos de pandemia da Covid-19 no Brasil. Trata-se de uma questão inegavelmente ampla. Para provocar respostas partimos de reflexões sobre a ação de despejo impetrada contra o acampamento do MST, Quilombo Campo Grande em Minas Gerais ocorrida em agosto de 2020. Emblematicamente essa ação de despejo faz pensar sobre inúmeras histórias de vidas brasileiras em despejo. São crianças e mulheres de acampamentos e periféricas, moradoras de grandes centros urbanos e rurais no país que urgem ser contempladas como objeto de reflexão. Como fonte foram usadas fotografias exibidas em jornais ao longo do período de 13 a 19/08/2020. Observou-se a presença de crianças e mulheres em foco evidenciando cenas dos momentos do despejo autorizado pelo governo do estado de Minas Gerais. Já iniciamos a refletir afirmando que urge olhar nos olhos da tragédia para enxergar as crianças e mulheres nesses tempos de pandemia e depois.
A travessia das infâncias no Amazonas no contexto de distanciamento social
Authors: Ratusniak Célia , Mafra Ivanilde dos Santos , Silva Vanderlete Pereira da
Published: August 2021

As violências fazem parte do cotidiano das crianças das camadas populares que vivem no Amazonas, estado que abriga muitas infâncias e suas singularidades étnicas: indígenas, caboclas, negras, migrantes ou filhas de imigrantes e mais recentemente, crianças da Venezuela, espalhadas nas diferentes zonas e ruas da capital do estado. Neste artigo, destacamos as condições de desigualdade que violam o direito das crianças vivenciarem suas infâncias e que, com o distanciamento social exigido pela Pandemia da Covid-19, foram acirradas, causando mortes e exposição aos riscos de todas as ordens num tecido social destruído e que, com os mecanismos de exclusão ampliados pelo modelo econômico adotado, foram esfacelados. O trabalho se utiliza da análise interseccional para problematizar as formas de opressão as quais estão submetidas as crianças, considerando os marcadores sociais que carregam, buscando compreender as estratégias utilizadas por elas para produzirem as formas de viver e sobreviver no contexto imposto.
Desigualdade e pandemia nas vidas das brasileirinhas e dos brasileirinhos
Authors: Macedo Elina Elias
Published: August 2021

Este artigo destaca a participação das crianças pequenas e a relação de reciprocidade da infância com a sociedade de classes. Tem como ponto de partida pesquisa de doutorado e fundamentado na Sociologia da Infância, explora os impactos da Pandemia de Covid-19 na vida e educação das crianças pequenas. Trata das infâncias no plural por entender que, para além da diversidade presente em nosso país, há também diferentes focos de análise sobre este grupo social. Conclui que apesar de, do ponto de vista médico e da saúde, as crianças serem menos suscetíveis aos danos causados pelo vírus, a infância como categoria social é das mais afetados pela crise do capital que, embora já estivesse em andamento, teve na crise sanitária uma consequência agravante em razão do isolamento social que potencializou a queda da renda familiar, o desemprego e a precarização do trabalho. Essa situação aprofundou as desigualdades sociais e colocou as brasileirinhas e brasileirinhos em perigo.

Social skills problems are main features of autism. The Over-Pruning Hypothesis suggests that such problems may be due to over-pruning of neural areas important to social skills. Intervention for social skills before age 5 years may strengthen connections, reducing pruning. Process drama may be a particularly effective way to practice social skills. This poster will describe the feasibility of an interdisciplinary (drama, OT, speech-language pathology) process drama program for social skills in preschoolers with autism.

The Association Between Platelet Mass Index and Mechanical Ventilation in Pediatric Surgery Cases
Authors: Silahlı Musa
Published: August 2021

Platelet mass index (PMI) is an indicator of platelet functionality. This study aimed to examine the relationship between PMI and mechanical ventilation need in infants less than 1 year of age who underwent gastrointestinal system surgery. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of cases that underwent gastrointestinal surgery in the last 10 years (2010-2020) at Baskent University Konya Hospital. Demographic data, indications for surgery, age at surgery, preoperative blood tests, hospitalization times, discharge status, mechanical ventilation need and duration, sepsis, accompanying anomalies, recurrent surgery requirements were collected from patient records. The study group (n: 143) was divided into 2 groups as the need for mechanical ventilation (MV; n: 73) and the group that did not need mechanical ventilation (n-MV; n: 70). Data were analyzed with SPSS version 25. PMI was significantly lower in the MV group (1999 Vs 2798, p< .001). 65% of the cases were newborns. Mean gestational age was 34.5 ±4 weeks, and birth weight was 2100 ± 820 g. Most of the cases that need surgical intervention consist of small bowel atresia, esophageal atresia, surgeries due to necrotizing enterocolitis, and anal atresia. Ileus was present in 54% of the patients. The recurrent surgery requirement was 34%. The frequency of accompanying cardiac anomalies was 30.6%, and the rate of proven sepsis was 38.3%. Preoperative 2163 PMI value can discriminate not needing MV with 72% sensitivity and 69% specificity (AUC: .699, p<.001). When the basic characteristics of the groups were evaluated, 83% of the patients who underwent MV were in the newborn group. The birth weight, gestational age, hospital duration, oxygen exposure, culture-positive sepsis rates, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) rates, and duration were found to be significantly higher in patients who underwent MV. While there was no difference in the number of white blood cells in the preoperative blood analysis, the neutrophil-lymphocyte (N-L) ratio, platelet number, albumin values were significantly lower and CRP values were significantly higher in the MV group. There was no difference in the platelet –lymphocyte (PL) ratio. High PMI values can be used as a parameter to discriminate the need for mechanical ventilation

What can we learn from amino acids about oceanic organic matter cycling and degradation?
Authors: Gaye Birgit , Lahajnar Niko , Harms Natalie , Paul Sophie Anna Luise , Rixen Tim , Emeis Kay-Christian
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Amino acids (AA) mainly bound in proteins are major constituents of living biomass and non-living organic material in the oceanic particulate and dissolved organic matter pool. Uptake and cycling by heterotrophic organisms lead to characteristic changes in AA composition so that AA based biogeochemical indicators are often used to elucidate processes of organic matter cycling and degradation. We analyzed particulate AA in a large sample set collected in various oceanic regions covering sinking and suspended particles in the water column, sediment samples as well as dissolved AA from water column and pore water samples. The aim of this study was to test and improve the use of AA derived biogeochemical indicators as proxies for organic matter sources and degradation, and to better understand particle dynamics and interaction between the dissolved and particulate organic matter pools. A principal component analysis (PCA) of all data delineates diverging AA compositions of sinking and suspended particles with increasing water depth. A new sinking particle and sediment degradation indicator (SDI) allows a fine-tuned classification of sinking particles and sediments with respect to the intensity of degradation, which is associated with changes of bulk δ15N ratios. This new indicator furthermore is sensitive to sedimentary redox conditions and can be used to detect past anoxic early diagenesis. A second indicator emerges from the AA spectra of suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the epipelagic and that of the meso- and bathypelagic ocean and is a residence time indicator (RTI). The characteristic changes in AA patterns from shallow to deep SPM are recapitulated in the AA spectra of the dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool, so that deep SPM is more similar to DOM than to any of the other organic matter pools. This implies that there is equilibration between finely dispersed SPM and DOM in the deep sea, which may be driven by microbial activity combined with annealing and fragmentation of gels. As these processes strongly depend on physico-chemical conditions in the deep ocean, changes in quality and degradability of DOM may strongly affect the relatively large pool of suspended and dissolved AA in the ocean that amounts to 15 Pg amino acid carbon (AAC) and 89 ± 29 Pg AAC, respectively.
Cloud Feedbacks from CanESM2 to CanESM5.0 and their influence on climate sensitivity
Authors: Virgin John G. , Fletcher Christopher G. , Cole Jason N. S. , von Salzen Knut , Mitovski Toni
Published: August 2021

Abstract. The newest iteration of the Canadian Earth System Model (CanESM5.0.3) has an effective climate sensitivity (EffCS) of 5.65 K, which is a 54 % increase relative to the model's previous version (CanESM2 – 3.67 K), and the highest sensitivity of all current models participating in the sixth phase of the coupled model inter-comparison project (CMIP6). Here, we explore the underlying causes behind CanESM5's increased EffCS via comparison of forcing and feedbacks between CanESM2 and CanESM5. We find only modest differences in radiative forcing as a response to CO2 between model versions. We find small increases in the surface albedo and longwave cloud feedback, as well as a substantial increase in the SW cloud feedback in CanESM5. Through the use of cloud area fraction output and cloud radiative kernels, we find that more positive low and non-low shortwave cloud feedbacks – particularly with regards to low clouds across the equatorial Pacific, as well as subtropical and extratropical free troposphere cloud optical depth – are the dominant contributors to CanESM5's increased climate sensitivity. Additional simulations with prescribed sea surface temperatures reveal that the spatial pattern of surface temperature change exerts controls on the magnitude and spatial distribution of low-cloud fraction response but does not fully explain the increased EffCS in CanESM5. The results from CanESM5 are consistent with increased EffCS in several other CMIP6 models, which has been primarily attributed to changes in shortwave cloud feedbacks.
The impact of the spatiotemporal structure of rainfall on flood frequency over a small urban watershed: an approach coupling stochastic storm transposition and hydrologic modeling

Published: August 2021

Abstract. The role of rainfall space–time structure, as well as its complex interactions with land surface properties, in flood response remains an open research issue. This study contributes to this understanding, specifically for small (<15 km2) urban watersheds. Using a flood frequency analysis framework that combines stochastic storm transposition (SST)-based rainfall scenarios with the physically based distributed Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis (GSSHA) model, we examine the role of rainfall spatial and temporal variability in flood frequency across drainage basin scales in the highly urbanized Dead Run watershed (14.3 km2), Maryland, USA. The results show the complexities of flood response within several subwatersheds for both short (<50 years) and long (>100 years) rainfall return periods. The impact of impervious area on flood response decreases with increasing rainfall return period. For extreme storms, the maximum discharge is closely linked to the spatial structure of rainfall, especially storm core spatial coverage. The spatial heterogeneity of rainfall increases flood peak magnitudes by 50 % on average at the watershed outlet and its subwatersheds for both small and large return periods. The framework of SST–GSSHA-coupled frequency analysis also highlights the fact that spatially distributed rainfall scenarios are needed in quick-response flood frequency, even for relatively small basin scales.
Assessing the large-scale plant–water relations in the humid, subtropical Pearl River basin of China
Authors: Wang Hailong , Duan Kai , Liu Bingjun , Chen Xiaohong
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Vegetation interacts closely with water resources. Conventional field studies of plant–water relations are fundamental for understanding the mechanisms of how plants alter and adapt to environmental changes, while large-scale studies can be more practical for regional land use and water management towards mitigating climate change impacts. In this study, we investigated the changes in the total water storage (TWS), aridity index (AI) and vegetation greenness, productivity, and their interactions in the Pearl River basin since April 2002. Results show an overall increasing trend of vegetation greenness and productivity, especially in the middle reaches where TWS also increased. This region dominated by croplands was identified as the hot spot for changes and interactions between water and vegetation in the basin. Vegetation was more strongly affected by TWS than precipitation (P) at both the annual and monthly scales. Further examination showed that the influence of TWS on vegetation in dry years was stronger than wet years, while the impact of P was stronger in wet years than dry years; moreover, vegetation productivity responded slower but stronger to atmospheric dryness in dry years than wet years. The lag effects resulted in nonlinearity between water and vegetation dynamics. This study implies that vegetation in the basin uses rainwater prior to water storage until the soil becomes dry, and their dynamics indicate that vegetation development is subject to water availability, and that vegetation is not dominant in reducing water availability.
Recent observations of superimposed ice and snow ice on sea ice in the northwestern Weddell Sea

Published: August 2021

Abstract. Recent low summer sea ice extent in the Weddell Sea raises questions about the contributions of dynamic and thermodynamic atmospheric and oceanic energy fluxes. The roles of snow, superimposed ice, and snow ice are particularly intriguing, as they are sensitive indicators of changes in atmospheric forcing and as they could trigger snow–albedo feedbacks that could accelerate ice melt. Here we present snow depth data and ice core observations of superimposed ice and snow ice collected in the northwestern Weddell Sea in late austral summer 2019, supplemented by airborne ice thickness measurements. Texture, salinity, and oxygen isotope analyses showed mean thicknesses of superimposed and snow ice of 0.11±0.11 and 0.22±0.22 m, respectively, or 3 % to 54 % of total ice thickness. Mean snow depths ranged between 0.46±0.29 m in the south to 0.05±0.06 m in the north, with mean and modal total ice thicknesses of 4.12±1.87 to 1.62±1.05 m and 3.9 to 0.9 m, respectively. These snow and ice properties are similar to results from previous studies, suggesting that the ice's summer surface energy balance and related seasonal transition of snow properties have changed little in past decades. This is supported by our additional analyses of the summer energy balance using atmospheric reanalysis data and by melt onset observations from satellite scatterometry showing few recent changes.

Pelayanan Dasar adalah pelayanan publik untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dasar Warga Negara. Dalam konteks pelayanan, khususnya pelayanan dasar, Standar Pelayanan Minimal (SPM) memuat ukuran-ukuran atau parameter-parameter yang harus dipedomani oleh pemerintah daerah, pelayanan yang diberikan kepada masyarakat harus terukur baik dari sisi jumlah, jenis maupun mutu. SPM dalam penyelenggara urusan pemerintahan daerah diposisikan untuk menjawab hal-hal penting dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan daerah, khususnya dalam penyediaan pelayanan dasar yang bermuara pada penciptaan kesejahteraan rakyat. Aparat Pengawas Internal Pemerintah (APIP) di tingkat pusat dan daerah memiliki kewenangan untuk melakukan pelaksanaan pengawasan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan daerah, dengan demikian maka peran APIP Pusat maupun APIP Daerah dituntut berperan dalam hal keberhasilan penerapan SPM. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pembinaan dan pengawasan seperti apa yang harus dilakukan APIP sehingga tujuan yang ingin dicapai yaitu setiap warga negara mendapatkan pelayanan dasar dapat tercapai.

FACTORS AFFECTING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ DECISION ON CHOOSING A UNIVERSITY: A SURVEY IS CONDUCTED IN THE SOUTHEAST REGION OF VIETNAM
Authors: Kieu Lan Huong
Published: August 2021

The study is conducted to assess the current condition of variables influencing a decision on choosing a university via data collected directly from 574 students being grade 12 in the Southeast region of Vietnam. The alpha coefficient method (Cronbach’s alpha), exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and multivariate linear regression are applied in this research. The findings indicate that five significant elements affecting the decision on choosing a university are job opportunities in the future, characteristics of the university, efforts to communicate with students of the university, the orientation of influential people, and diversity and attractiveness of training professions. In addition, some policies are also mentioned in the study to enhance enrollment counseling for 12th-grade students in the future.
Border Struggles, Political Unity, and the Transformative Power of the Local: US Sanctuary Cities and Spain’s Cities of Refuge
Authors: Wonders Nancy A , Fernández-Bessa Cristina
Published: August 2021

This article draws on theoretical insights about bordering and citizenship as strategies for socially constructing difference and the scholarship on scalar challenges underlying contemporary bordering to analyze sanctuary cities in the United States and cities of refuge in Spain. We argue that these initiatives challenge and resist restrictive national migration policies from below, at the local level, with attention to their implications at the global scale. Such policies have the potential to create meaningful social change by 1) amplifying and producing political unity across socially constructed differences and 2) “scaling down” migration politics from the national to the local level and, simultaneously, “jumping scale” via reliance on human rights framings. We conclude that sanctuary city and city-of-refuge designations are not merely symbolic; instead, these designations can be conceived of as locally based, global repertoires of action that make positive contributions in pursuit of social justice.
Bordering Through Exemption: Extracontinental Migration Flows in Mexico
Authors: Campos-Delgado Amalia
Published: August 2021

This paper examines Mexico’s governmentality of extracontinental migration in transit to the United States. It argues that, in the context of transit control regimes, exemption is instrumentalised as a bordering mechanism and practice in which transit states assume, react and utilise their role as a ‘transit’ country. By drawing on statistical information about migrant populations from Asia and Africa intercepted by Mexican authorities from 2010 to 2019, four arrangements are identified: (1) sporadic expulsion, (2) regularisation façade, (3) guardianship and (4) self-deportation. The analysis sheds light on the transformative and adaptive dimension of the Mexican Transit Control Regime and how this is geared towards maintaining its focus on intercepting and deterring Central American migrants in transit to the United States.
The Power of Racialized Discretion in Policing Migration
Authors: Parmar Alpa
Published: August 2021

Discretionary practices have often been put forward to explain the racially disproportionate patterns we see in policing. The focus on discretion rather than racism neatly shifts attention away from race and instead towards discretionary practices, which are notoriously amorphous and inscrutable. The attention towards discretion (rather than race) further allows race to operate without being explicitly named and, therefore, to operate as an absent present. In this article, I discuss how race and discretion work together when ordinary police officers are tasked with migration control duties to identify foreign national offenders. Drawing on empirical research conducted in England, I propose the concept of racialised discretion and argue that it holds merit because it recognises that certain discretionary practices and decisions are animated because of race, through race and with the effect (intentional or not) of racially disproportionate outcomes. The article argues for the need for racialised discretion to be seen as distinct from other forms of discretion both in policing and the criminal justice process more widely.
The Judiciary Power of Discretion in Sanctioning the Facilitation of Unauthorised Stay in Poland
Authors: Klaus Witold , Szulecka Monika
Published: August 2021

Migration control in Poland is significantly based on internal control practices carried out by street-level bureaucrats representing both law enforcement agents and low-level judges equipped with discretionary power. Based on empirical data from 243 criminal cases of facilitating unauthorised stay in Poland, we reflected on how the mentioned actors and, in particular, criminal judges interpret the existing provisions and to what extent they study cases independently or simply follow the logic of the law enforcement. We based our analysis on two distinct forms of identified cases of ‘supporting’ irregular migration; that is, participation in sham marriages and involvement in document fraud. We conclude that judges lacking expertise in the field relatively new to them may be less prone to question the effects of the preparatory proceedings, and they are not keen to look for any answers for themselves, especially to scrutinise and refer to the European Union law or jurisprudence. In their ‘craftwork’, they face cases that seem similar to them and, thus, not deserving of special attention. Judges lack the broader knowledge and possibly also reflexive thinking in assessing migration-related criminal cases brought to the courts by border guards, who prove their effectiveness inter alia through numbers of detected facilitators, not necessarily the roles played by them. All this may lead to unnecessarily broadening the scope of control over immigrants and a failure in achieving the objectives of criminal provisions.
Sessão 18 de março de 2021: Simpósio Alergia Alimentar: da Gestação à Vida Adulta
Authors:   ACADEMIA NACIONAL DE MEDICINA
Published: August 2021

Para entendermos a alergia alimentar precisamos voltar ao início de tudo, traçando um paralelo ao momento da gestação e questionar um capítulo intrigante da vida: por que não fomos rejeitados pelo organismo de nossas mães, já que éramos um corpo estranho, habitando-o? Tudo isso está relacionado intimamente com a reação do sistema imune que, paradoxalmente, não rejeita o desenvolvimento do feto que possui 50% de componentes genéticos paternos. Este é o milagre da reprodução como definiu o médico Luiz WerberBandeira, da Santa Casa da Misericórdia do Rio de Janeiro, em sua live sobre Imunologia da gravidez, na sessão do dia 18 de março de 2021, promovida pela ANM.
