Published: July 2019

The decomposition of organic matter on leaf litter substrat  runs very slowly in nature resulting in the accumulation of litter in the ecosystem and has even become an organic waste that creates many problems. The research was dealt with the use of lignocellulolytic fungi inoculum consisting of 3 isolates: Aspergillus fumigatus (cellulolytic), A. tubingensis (xylanolytic) and Geotrichium sp (ligninolytic) as starter of leaf litter composting.  The purpose of the study is to understand the pattern of humic-fulvat acid and C/N ratio on the process of composting of leaf litter with the addition of inoculum. Observations were made to the chemical changes of compost for 3, 6 and 9 weeks of composting and the data were analyzed in RM-anova (Repeated Measures of anova).  The result shows the best pattern of humic acid and fulvic  change from the initial to final composting occurs at the Geotrichum sp inoculum of 0.60 or 105.2% and for fulvic are of 0.55 or 56.1% of baseline. The highest ratio value of CHA/CFA at the end of observation was by consortium of  A. fumigatus and A. tubingensis inoculums that was 2.94 and the lowest value was at commercial inoculum that was 0.80; and the sharpest change value also occurred in the consortium A. fumigatus and A. tubingensis inoculums of 2.20 or 297.3%. Therefore the consortium isolates were capable of causing the maturity of the compost most rapidly compared to other isolates.

Authors: Naidu Harshita , S. Sujatha B. , Pai Muralidhar V.
Published: July 2019

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage is the most common preventable cause of maternal mortality in developing countries. The present study aimed to examine the impact of cervical traction technique in reducing the amount of postpartum blood loss and rate of PPH.Methods: This was a case-control, pilot study conducted in a tertiary hospital between June 2017 to June 2018. A total of 200 singletons, low-risk pregnant females, undergoing normal vaginal delivery, were enrolled in this study. Subjects showing a high risk for PPH were excluded. Patients were randomized as case group (n=100) and control group (n=100). The case group received sustained traction for 90 seconds to anterior and posterior lip of the cervix with active management of the third stage of labor, whereas the control group received routine active management of the third stage of labor. All subjects were followed up for 6 hours post-delivery. The amount of blood loss, hematocrit and hemoglobin post-delivery were compared between both groups.Results: The mean blood loss (ml), decrease in hemoglobin (g/L) and decrease in hematocrit post-delivery in cases were significantly low compared to controls (207±37.6 versus 340±49, P<0.01), (0.78±0.2 versus 1.4±0.3, P=0.03) and (1.7±0.2 versus 3.5±0.2, P<0.01). PPH occurred in 7 of 200 (3.5%) patients. The difference in the number of PPH was not significant (5/100; 5% versus 2/100; 2% P=0.2). There were no complications reported due to cervical traction.Conclusions: Cervical traction is a simple and safe maneuver to reduce the amount of postpartum blood loss. Larger RCT is recommended to investigate the reduction in PPH rate.

Cette postface propose un chemin de lecture, une traversée subjective, un parcours non exhaustif. Ce n’est surtout pas une synthèse, encore moins un dernier mot. On a essayé de pointer quelques pierres de touche des propositions faites ici sur les modalités contemporaines de l’implication, en les replaçant dans le contexte large d’une réflexion qui occupe les spécialistes de littérature contemporaine depuis plusieurs décennies et qui connaît aujourd’hui une vitalité renouvelée. This postface proposes a personal path through this issue of RELIEF, a subjective reading, a non-exhaustive survey. It shouldn’t be considered a synthesis or a conclusion. It aims at indicating a few intersections where the articles gathered here meet in their analysis of the contemporary modalities of political implications in literature. Its ambition is to resituate those connections in the broader context of studies of French contemporary literature over the past twenty years or so, including the most recent reflections on the matter
Dysphagia screening tools for acute stroke patients available for nurses: A systematic review
Authors: Oliveira Isabel de Jesus , Da Mota Liliana Andreia Neves , Freitas Susana Vaz , Ferreira Pedro Lopes
Published: July 2019

Background & Aim: There is a high incidence of dysphagia after stroke that, depending on the assessment, methodology and time elapsed, can range from 8.1% to 80%. Early and systemic dysphagia screening is associated with a decreased risk of aspiration pneumonia and prevents inadequate hydration/nutrition. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify dysphagia screening tools for acute stroke patients available for nurses validated against reference test. The research question was: which dysphagia screening tools for acute stroke patients available for nurses?
Methods & Materials: Three electronic databases were searched from January 2007 to November 2017: on PubMed, Scielo and CINAHL Plus. Two independent reviewers screened all titles and abstracts, assessed methodological quality and extracted data. The methodological quality analysis and evaluation was guided according to four domains: patient selection, index test, reference standard and flow and timing. Divergences between reviewers in data extraction were consensualized through discussion.
Results: From the 377 articles retrieved, only three articles met criteria for review: Barnes-Jewish Hospital-Stroke Dysphagia Screen; the Gugging Swallowing Screen and, The Toronto Bedside Swallowing Screening Test. None of the screening tools complies with all psychometric properties, which means that a still significant proportion of patients will be kept nil by mouth without being necessary or that some patients will “fall through the cracks” interrupting the diagnostic process. The tools identified are different from each other, making their comparison impracticable.
Conclusion: Due to psychometric proprieties and dietary recommendations adjusted to dysphagia severity, of all available tools, GUSS is a suitable screening tool for nurses in clinical practice.

Authors: Yeganeh Mohammad Reza , Pouralizadeh Moluk , Ghanbari Atefeh
Published: July 2019

Background & Aim: Professional autonomy is a key component of decision-making and empowerment of the nurses. However, ICU nurses sometimes experience a degree of moral distress in their decision-making but the relationship of this distress with their autonomous performance in intensive care units is unclear. The aim of this study is determining the relationship between professional autonomy and moral distress of ICU nurses.
Methods & Materials: In this correlational cross-sectional study, 180 ICU nurses were selected by census method from educational hospitals of Guilan University of Medical Sciences in 2017. Research tools were Varjuss professional autonomy and Corely et al. moral distress questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16.
Results: Most of the subjects were female (93.89%), full-time nurses (61.67%), with age mean and standard deviation of 35±5.97. Mean and standard deviation of professional autonomy and moral distress were 77.04±4 and 140.85±5.45, respectively. Moral distress of most nurses (55.6%) was moderate. There was a positive and significant correlation between professional autonomy and moral distress scores (p<0.001, r=0.33).
Conclusion: This study showed that by increasing the professional autonomy, the moral distress of ICU nurses increases as well. These results, by informing nursing mangers, remind the necessity of using some approaches for reducing the moral distress of nurses along with improving their professional autonomy.

Authors: Aydin Sunbul Zeynep
Published: July 2019

The study tested the relationships between personality, grit and grade point averages (GPAs) among university students. The sample was 406 undergraduate students (299 females and 107 males) from three universities in Istanbul. The instruments used in the study were Grit-S and the Big-Five Inventory. The data were analysed through a path analysis. The results of the path analysis for the first model exploring the relationship between personality and GPA through the mediating role of grit showed that the model did not seem sufficiently applicable for the data. In the second model, grit and neuroticism were determined as independent variables predicting GPA, whereby it seemed that conscientiousness mediated this relationship. The results for the second model showed that the neuroticism has significantly negative relationship with grit; grit has significantly positive relation to conscientiousness and conscientiousness has a significantly positive relationship with GPA.

Published: July 2019

Bu çalışmanın amacı sinirsel geribildirim (neurofeedback) eğitiminin dikkat süreci üzerindeki etkisi sağlıklı yetişkinlerden oluşan iki katılımcı grubunda incelenmiştir. Deney esnasında, deneysel gruptaki katılımcılar, bir yandan sinirsel geribildirim eğitimi alırken diğer yandan kendilerinden bilgisayar ekranında gösterilen iki adet bulmaca oyununu tamamlamaları istenmiştir. Bu işlem sırasında, katılımcı-ların bulmaca çözme performansı, elektrotların yerleştirildiği Cz bölgesinden elde edilen beyin dalgalarına göre değişim göstermektedir. Ayrıca, toplam yedi sinirsel geribildirim oturumu öncesi ve oturum sonrasında seçici dikkat performansını ölçmek amacıyla Stroop görevi kullanılmıştır. Stroop görevinin sonuçları, sinirsel geribildirim eğitimi öncesi ve sonrasında kaydedilen tepki süreleri arasında anlamlı fark bulunduğunu gösterse de, grubun (deneysel grup ve kontrol grup) temel etkisi anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Diğer yandan, oturumlar boyunca bulmacaları tamamlamak için gerekli tepki süresi deneysel ve kontrol gruplarında anlamlı olarak değişiklik göstermemiştir. Eğitim oturumlarının sayısını artırarak ve eğitim oturumlarında daha dikkat gerektiren bir görevi kullanarak eğitim programının iyileştirilmesi sonucunda, sinirsel geribildiriminin beklenen etkisi görülebilir.

Published: July 2019

En este artículo se presenta el estado de la investigación en Colombia en temas de energía, a partir de la revisión, la sistematización y el análisis de los resultados de los grupos de investigación. La información se obtuvo desde la plataforma Scienti de Colciencias, de una muestra de grupos de investigación que declaran tener líneas de interés en energía. Se tuvieron en cuenta tres categorías para el análisis de la información: ubicación geográfica de los grupos y su clasificación, intereses investigativos determinados desde las líneas de investigación propuestas, y producción científica de los grupos. Se encontró que el 75 % de los grupos se ubica en cuatro de los 32 departamentos del país y que el 90 % pertenece a instituciones de educación superior. Hay diversidad en cuanto a los intereses investigativos y se destacan cuatro líneas principales: energía y potencia, gestión energética, hidrocarburos y energías renovables. La producción científica está centrada básicamente en artículos científicos, libros y desarrollo de proyectos; en cuanto a patentes, los resultados son escasos. En relación con energías renovables, la producción científica empezó a surgir a partir de 1999 y ha experimentado un crecimiento con tendencia lineal. Se logró identificar que si bien hay una investigación establecida en temas de energía desde las instituciones de educación superior y algunas empresas del sector energético, los avances relacionados con energías renovables son aún incipientes; hay un camino por recorrer, el cual se ha ido abonando con las nuevas reglamentaciones que se han dado en el país.

Published: July 2019

In intensive aquaculture farming activities will generate solid waste and liquid waste that comes from feces and leftover fish feed. The waste accumulation can lead to deterioration of water quality that affects the physiological processes, behavior, growth, and mortality of fish. Technological innovation is needed for the management of water quality and increase productivity as a result of shrinkage of cultivated land. One of the technological innovations that can be applied, namely the incorporation of fish farming with crops through Aquaponics system. This study aims to determine the effects of water spinach optimum density to absorb waste ammonia (NH3), nitrate (NO3) and nitrite (NO2) optimally to increase the survival rate and growth rate of african catfish (Clarias sp.) intensive As well as to see its effect on conversion rates and feed efficiency with aquaponics system. The method used is the experimental method. The experimental research is used to determine the effect of certain variable towards a group under controlled conditions. The results of measurements of ammonia levels during P0 showed that the treatment significantly different (p <0.05) with treatment P1; P2; and P3. P3 treatment with water spinach number 40 stems provide maximum results in lowering the concentration of ammonia compared with treatment P0 (without spinach), P1 (20 water spinach), and P2 (30 water spinach). The measurement results nitrite levels during the observation showed that all treatments there were no significant differences (p> 0.05). The measurement results also showed that the nitrate content whole of observation results showed that all treatments there were no significant differences (p> 0.05). The best feed conversion ratio was found in P3 treatment of 1.08. The best feed efficiency was found in P3 treatment 92,25%. The highest survival rate was found in P3 treatment (88.69%) in maintenance medium and lowest survival rate was in P0 treatment (26,71%) without water spinach  (control). The highest specific growth rate was found in P3 treatment (1.15%), while the lowest specific growth rate was in treatment P0 (0.79%).Results of water quality measurement supporting all treatments decreased and increased. The supporting water quality are temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen. The decrease and increase in support water quality is caused by environmental factors such as weather. Other parameters were observed in addition to supporting the water quality is water spinach plant growth. Value growth water spinach is best found in treatment P3. In the treatment P3 water spinach growth rose 5.14 cm with an initial size of 10.92 into 16.06.

A 24-hour dietary recall, anthropometric parameters (weight, visceral fat, height, and waist circumference), biochemical (HbA1c) and clinical (blood pressure) variables were evaluated and compared via hypothesis test with T2DM treatment cut-off points (based on World Health Organization criteria). Results: Anthropometric characteristics differ significantly from the ideal criteria. Obesity prevalence within women with T2DM was 92.9%. Only 21% of the participants were under T2DM control (≤7%). Energy and carbohydrates consumption, significantly exceed therapeutic guidelines, whereas protein, fat, and fiber intake were lower than the recommendations. Conclusions: Komchen’s diet, concomitantly with food characteristics, could be related to glycemic decontrol. There is a disproportion in macronutrients consumption in favor of carbohydrates, probably associated with socioeconomic limitations, food availability, and price. Developing nutritional assistance programs which contemplate cultural and economic factors in this Mayan population must be taken into consideration.

The aim of this paper is to obtain Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions for weakly efficient solutions to vector equilibrium problems with the addition of constraints in the novel context of Hadamard manifolds as opposed to the classical examples of Banach, normed or Hausdorff spaces. More specifically, classical necessary and sufficient conditions for weakly efficient solutions to the constrained vector optimization problem are presented. As well as some examples. The results presented in this paper generalize results obtained by Gong (2008) and Wei and Gong (2010) and Feng and Qiu (2014) from Hausdorff topological vector spaces, real normed spaces and real Banach spaces to Hadamard manifolds, respectively.

Published: July 2019

The electrical submersible pump (ESP) is a key artificial-lift technology to the petroleum industry. Worldwide installations of ESPs are in the range of 130,000 units, contributing to approximately 60% of the total worldwide oil production. An ESP is made up of hundreds of components integrated together to perform the lifting function. Materials in these components belong to several categories including metals, ceramics, polymers, and others. A good understanding of these materials and careful selection for a specific application are critical to the reliability and run life of an ESP system. In this paper we present an overview of two classes of materials used in ESP systems: metallic and ceramic materials. A subsequent paper is planned to discuss all other categories of materials. Our intent is to provide a reference for ESP field-application engineers who are responsible for ESP design, component selection, equipment longevity, and production optimization.

The information compiled in this paper is a result of extensive literature review. We cover materials used in the motor, protector, pump, and cable (sensor, packer, Y-tool, diverter valve, surface components of variable-speed drives, and transformer not included). For each class of materials, we identify relevant material properties and discuss suitable application conditions.

Published: July 2019

In this paper, we propose a machine–learning methodology using domain–knowledge constraints for well–data integration, prior/expert–knowledge incorporation, and sweet–spot identification. Such methodology enables the analysis of the effects of the main variables involved in production prediction and the evaluation of what–if scenarios of production prediction within geological zones. This methodology will allow streamlining the process of data integration, analytics and machine learning for better decisions, saving time, and helping geologists and reservoir and completion engineers in the task of sweet–spot identification and completion design. We tested the proposed methodology with production, completions, and petrophysical data from a field within a geological target zone. For instance, using local Kriging, we estimated gamma ray features from gamma ray measurements from vertical and horizontal wells, and we integrated those features into the production– and completion–well data, generating an integrated data set for machine–learning modeling. Besides the usual black–box machine–learning models, we used generalized additive models (GAMs) and shape–constraint additive models (SCAMs) for predictive modeling. Those models permit the incorporation of prior/expert knowledge in terms of interaction terms and mathematical constraints on the shape of the effect of the covariates, such as petrophysical and completion parameters, resulting in greater accuracy and interpretability of the predicted production vs. classical black–box machine–learning modeling. We also defined hypothetical what–if scenarios of oil production, such as by estimating the empirical distributions of production estimates using hypothetical settings for completions within the region of interest.
Out-of-pocket payments of End-stage Renal Disease Patients on Regular Hemodialysis: Cost of illness analysis, Experience from Sudan
Authors: Adam Aisha O.Y.
Published: July 2019

Background

In Sudan, the number of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients receiving hemodialysis is growing. Patients and their families incur a high out of pocket expenditure provided that hemodialysis treatment is expensive. There is limited data about out of pocket spending on hemodialysis in the country. This study aims to explore patients’ out-of-pocket expense on direct medical and non-medical goods and services and to which extent they can be predicted from socio-demographic characteristics, health insurance status, comorbidity, and accommodation change.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in Ibn Sina Hospital. One hundred and thirty patients undergo regular two hemodialysis sessions were randomly selected.

Results

Among the study participants the median of the overall total out-of-pocket (direct medical and direct non- medical) spending per patient per year was found to be US$ 3859.1(Inter quartile Range(IQR): 2298.1- 6261.1). As for the medians out-of-pocket expenditure on direct medical and non-medical costs, they were found to be US$2327.6 (IQR 1421.5-3804.8) and US$ 1096 (IQR 715.2-2345.2), respectively. The direct medical expenditure (355586US$) accounted for (60%) of the overall total expenses. Medications and investigations were the primary drivers of direct medical spending. Higher out-of-pocket expenditure rates were found among those with one or more of these merits; uninsured patients, Patient with comorbidity, female gender, and over 40 years age. The multivariate analysis showed that the significant predictors of direct medical expenditure were health insurance, comorbid conditions, while the predictors for direct non-medical expenditure were accommodation change and gender.

Conclusion

Results of this study provide a better understanding of out-of-pocket spending on direct medical and non-medial spending among hemodialysis patients within the context of Sudan. Furthermore, it provides descriptive information on patients’ characteristics that are found to be associated with increased out of pocket expenditure among hemodialysis population. Further research needed in this area.
Socio-demographic determinants of health-care seeking options and alternative management practices of childhood diarrhoeal illness: A household survey among mothers in Iraq

Published: July 2019

Background

Diarrhoea remains a significant cause of child morbidity and mortality in Iraq. The objective of this study was to examine the current practices of home-based management of diarrhoeal illnesses among Iraqi children. We surveyed mothers of children below five years of age in order to identify the socio-demographic factors associated with maternal health-care seeking practices.

Methods

A total of 500 mother-child pairs were interviewed in a cross-sectional household survey in Thi-Qar Governorate, south-eastern Iraq between March 2016 and February 2017. Logistic and multinomial regression models were utilized to infer socio-demographic predictors of the health-care seeking and alternative management practices adopted by the mothers.

Results

The interviewees reported that 35.2% of their children had diarrhoea in the two weeks prior to the survey. The least likelihood of reported occurrence of diarrhoea was among mother-child pairs where the mothers had received university education, as compared to mothers who were illiterate or received only primary or secondary education. Lower odds (OR=0.4, P-value <0.001) of reported childhood diarrhoea was revealed among mothers aged >25 years old compared to those younger. Self-ordered medicine from a pharmacy was the most preferred alternative management option in almost half (52.4% (262/500)) of the interviewed mothers in Thi-Qar. Interestingly, 69.6% (348/500) of the mothers reported supplying their children suffering from diarrhoea with antibiotics. Relative to mothers with university education, those with high school education had more likelihood of selecting medical center (relative risk ratio (rrr) = 2.4) and pharmacy (rrr = 3.7) as against no treatment.

Conclusions

Lower maternal educational level, mothers' age <25 and the district of residence were important factors associated with diarrhoea occurrence among under-five children. In light of the findings from this study, intervention aimed at improving health-care seeking for managing diarrhoea in Iraqi children should jointly consider the influence of mothers age, education, as well as the level of economic status of the communities in which mothers of these children resides. The results of this study indicate the need for enhancing public health education in order to improve the maternal management of diarrhoeal disease and the avoidance of unnecessary use of antimicrobials.
Mild water stress-induced priming enhance tolerance to Rosellinia necatrix in susceptible avocado rootstocks

Published: July 2019

Background: White root rot (WRR) disease caused by Rosellinia necatrix is one of the most important threats affecting avocado orchards in temperate regions. The eradication of WRR is a difficult task and environmentally friendly control methods are needed to lessen its impact. Priming plants with a stressor (biotic or abiotic) can be an strategy to enhance plant defense/tolerance against future stress episodes but, despite the known underlying common mechanisms, few studies use abiotic-priming for improving tolerance to forthcoming biotic-stress and vice versa (‘cross-factor priming’). To assess whether cross-factor priming can be a potential method for enhancing avocado tolerance to WRR disease, ‘Dusa’ avocado rootstocks, susceptible to R. necatrix, were subjected to two levels of water stress (mild-WS and severe-WS) and, after drought-recovery, inoculated with R. necatrix. Physiological response and expression of plant defense related genes after drought-priming as well as the disease progression were evaluated.
Results: Water stressed avocado plants showed lower water potential and stomatal limitations of photosynthesis compared to control plants. In addition, NPQ and qN values increased, indicating the ongoing of energy dissipating mechanisms closely related to the relief of oxidative stress. This response was proportional to the severity of the water stress and was accompanied by the deregulation of pathogen defense related genes in the roots. After re-watering, leaf photosynthesis and plant water status recovered rapidly in both treatments, but roots of mild-WS primed plants showed a higher number of overexpressed genes related with plant defense than severe-WS primed plants. Disease progression after inoculating primed-plants with R. necatrix was significantly delayed in mild-WS primed plants.
Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that mild-WS can induce a primed state in the WRR susceptible avocado rootstock ‘Dusa’ and reveal that ‘cross-factor priming’ with water stress (abiotic stressor) is effective for increasing avocado tolerance against R. necatrix (biotic stressor), underpinning that plant responses against biotic and abiotic stress rely on common mechanisms. Potential applications of these results may involve an enhancement of WRR tolerance of current avocado groves and optimization of water use via low frequency deficit irrigation strategies.
