Efficiency of non-revenue water reduction in improving water supply performance in Indian metropolises
Authors: Bandari Adithya , Sadhukhan Shubhajit
Published: April 2023

Many cities around the world face water crisis. Poor management contributes more to water crises than resource constraints. Multiple Indian metropolitan cities face severe water crises. These cities usually have high non-revenue water (NRW) levels. The present study estimates the efficiency of the extent of NRW management to improve per capita water supply (PCS) and cost recovery (CR) in 55 Indian metropolises with more than one million population. The study considered variable-returns-to-scale data envelopment analysis (DEA) using input orientation (I/P DEA). NRW has been used as the input variable, while the PCS and CR are studied as the output variables. The DEA model recommends that reduced NRW levels can address the water crisis in Indian cities. According to the DEA findings, about 38 Indian cities (68.09%) could reduce NRW levels by more than 50% while improving PCS and CR levels substantially. Around 47 cities (85.45%) can fulfil the water supply benchmark value of 135 litres per capita per day (lpcd). Three cities can improve the cost recovery by more than 100%. The findings suggest that water supply utilities in Indian cities should focus on reducing NRW levels substantially to improve the PCS and CR.

Background

Ensuring the completion of treatment for tuberculosis (TB) remains a key challenge in many high-burden countries. 99DOTS is a low-cost digital adherence technology that has emerged as a promising tool for monitoring and supporting TB treatment completion.

Objective

We aimed to understand the feasibility and acceptability of 99DOTS, a mobile phone–based TB treatment support method, and characterize barriers and facilitators to its implementation during a pragmatic trial in Uganda.

Methods

Between April 1 and August 31, 2021, we conducted in-depth interviews with people with TB and key informant interviews with health workers and district and regional TB officers involved in the implementation of 99DOTS at 18 health facilities in Uganda. Semistructured interview guides were informed by the capability, opportunity, motivation, and behavior (COM-B) model and explored perceptions of, and experiences with, 99DOTS, including barriers and facilitators to its use. Qualitative analysis was conducted using the framework approach.

Results

Interviews were conducted with 30 people with TB, 12 health workers, and 7 TB officers. All people with TB, health workers, and TB officers noted that 99DOTS supported and encouraged people with TB to take their anti-TB medication, facilitated treatment monitoring, and improved relationships between people with TB and health workers. Participants also liked that the platform was free, easy to use, and improved TB treatment outcomes. Barriers to 99DOTS implementation for some people with TB were related to limited literacy, including technology literacy; limited access to electricity to charge their mobile phone to make dosing confirmation calls; and poor network connection. Gender differences in 99DOTS uptake also emerged. Specifically, women with TB were described to be more concerned that 99DOTS use would expose them to TB stigma and to be more likely to have mobile phone–access issues than men with TB. By contrast, men with TB not only had access to mobile phones but also received substantial support from their female partners to take their anti-TB medication and make 99DOTS dosing confirmation calls. Finally, although women with TB were described to face more barriers to 99DOTS use than men with TB, the women’s narratives centered on the ways the platform facilitated and improved their adherence, whereas the men’s narratives did not.

Conclusions

Overall, 99DOTS seems to be a feasible and acceptable strategy to support anti-TB medication adherence in Uganda. However, access to mobile phones, inability to charge mobile phones, and concerns about stigma should be considered and addressed as part of programmatic implementation to maximize uptake among all people with TB, particularly women and those with fewer financial resources.

Authors: Annis Ann , Reaves Crista , Sender Jessica , Bumpus Sherry
Published: April 2023

Background

Big data from large, government-sponsored surveys and data sets offers researchers opportunities to conduct population-based studies of important health issues in the United States, as well as develop preliminary data to support proposed future work. Yet, navigating these national data sources is challenging. Despite the widespread availability of national data, there is little guidance for researchers on how to access and evaluate the use of these resources.

Objective

Our aim was to identify and summarize a comprehensive list of federally sponsored, health- and health care–related data sources that are accessible in the public domain in order to facilitate their use by researchers.

Methods

We conducted a systematic mapping review of government sources of health-related data on US populations and with active or recent (previous 10 years) data collection. The key measures were government sponsor, overview and purpose of data, population of interest, sampling design, sample size, data collection methodology, type and description of data, and cost to obtain data. Convergent synthesis was used to aggregate findings.

Results

Among 106 unique data sources, 57 met the inclusion criteria. Data sources were classified as survey or assessment data (n=30, 53%), trends data (n=27, 47%), summative processed data (n=27, 47%), primary registry data (n=17, 30%), and evaluative data (n=11, 19%). Most (n=39, 68%) served more than 1 purpose. The population of interest included individuals/patients (n=40, 70%), providers (n=15, 26%), and health care sites and systems (n=14, 25%). The sources collected data on demographic (n=44, 77%) and clinical information (n=35, 61%), health behaviors (n=24, 42%), provider or practice characteristics (n=22, 39%), health care costs (n=17, 30%), and laboratory tests (n=8, 14%). Most (n=43, 75%) offered free data sets.

Conclusions

A broad scope of national health data is accessible to researchers. These data provide insights into important health issues and the nation’s health care system while eliminating the burden of primary data collection. Data standardization and uniformity were uncommon across government entities, highlighting a need to improve data consistency. Secondary analyses of national data are a feasible, cost-efficient means to address national health concerns.

Published: April 2023

Abstract: Diabetes is a severe health complication one of which is a Diabetic Foot Ulcer. It is an open sore or wound often observed in diabetic patients who require a careful treatment plan. The most common option is still based on the disease's symptoms and indications because of its large transcendence, which is associated to a higher incidence and expensive and limited diagnostic trials. As a result, the attending physician completes a questionnaire using both its own observation and supporting instrumental measurements (it could be method but not so sure). The above mentioned questionnaire will serve as the basis for the diagnosis, which will also be determined by the consultant's experience and the criteria. Unfortunately, the preceding dependency is unacceptable for some factors, such as the laceration (injury or wound) and location. Therefore, this project is focused on developing a diabetic foot ulcer detection system that helps to identify diabetic foot by developing a suitable feature extraction and classification algorithm. Along with the classification algorithms, the use of Digital image processing techniques helps to improve the quality of images for accurate detection. The number of photos available for training had to be increased with data augmentation for each approach, and false positives had to be eliminated using postprocessing. Hence, with the use of digital image processing techniques, this study aims to establish a new link in the evaluation of the diabetic foot.

The Symbolic Interpretation of Quraish Shihab on The Hadith of Women's Creation
Authors: Majid Abdul
Published: April 2023

The complete negation of misogynistic hadiths towards women is still not possible due to a textual and non-comprehensive understanding of the hadiths. This article aims to address this issue by presenting an analysis of Quraish Shihab's interpretation of the hadith regarding the creation of Eve from Adam's curved rib bone and differentiating his view from several other commentators. Using a literature review approach, this study shows that the term "curved rib bone" is not intended to disrespect women but merely as an illustration. Philosophically, the curved rib symbolizes women's inherent nature, which, when hardened, makes it difficult for men to straighten it out. This depiction aims to make men aware of and understand women's nature and to develop a wise attitude towards them. Quraish Shihab's ideas can be a recommendation for understanding hadiths with misogynistic nuances so that biases in understanding and actions towards women can be minimized effectively.

As our previous study shown, the therapeutic effect of double genes
(SERCA2a and Cx43) on heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI)
were better than that of single gene (SERCA2a or Cx43) therapy on the
basis of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation. Based on
previous research, the aim of this study was to investigate the optimize
ratio of co-delivery of SERCA2a and Cx43 genes for MI therapy after
biotinylated microbubbles (BMBs) transplantation via ultrasonic-targeted
microbubble destruction (UTMD). Forty rats underwent left anterior
descending (LAD) ligation and BMSCs injection into the infarct and
border zones. Four weeks later, double genes of SERCA2a and Cx43 with
different ratios (1:1, 1:2 and 2:1) were co-delivered into the infarcted
heart via the UTMD. Cardiac mechano-electrical function was determined
at 4-wk after gene delivery, and the hearts of the rats were harvested
for measurement of MI size and detection of SERCA2a and Cx43 expression.
Q-PCR analysis of the expression of Nkx2.5 and GATA4 in the myocardial
infarct zone and measurement of neovascularization in infarcted heart.

Published: April 2023

Today, it takes ten to twelve years on average to complete a clinical trial before a new drug is approved and brought to marktet. Moreover, the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of drugs or devices has been performed in the linear and sequential manner with limited change over the past decade. The InSilc project is an EU funded project (www.insilc.eu) within which the InSilc platform was developed for designing, developing and assessing coronary stents. The InSilc platform contains the following modules: Mechanical Modelling Module, 3D Reconstruction and Plaque Characterization Tool, Deployment Module, Fluid Dynamics Module, Drug Delivery Module, Degradation Module, Myocardial Perfusion Module, Virtual Population Physiology and Virtual Population Database. We analyze the cost of three different in silico scenarios for clinical study. In Scenario 1, two different stent designs are compared according to the ISO standard for in silico mechanical tests. Scenario 2 predicts the stenting outcome for a virtual anatomy where design/material could be changed. Scenario 3 compares two stents using the same virtual anatomies from the Virtual vessel database. Cost-effectiveness analysis was performed for real clinical trials with metallic and BVS stent and in silico clinical trials. It was observed that in silico clinical trials are almost 90 times cheaper than real clinical trials for 1000 patients. In Silico clinical trials will not completely replace real clinical studies but the evidence shows that they can significantly reduce the cost of a real clinical study which will open a new avenue for future hybrid real and in silico clinical trials.

W artykule przeanalizowano produkcję pasażerskiego taboru kolejowego w Polsce po 1989 r. w segmencie spalinowych i elektrycznych zespołów trakcyjnych. Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na trzy główne pytania badawcze: 1) jak kształtował się polski rynek producentów oraz ile zespołów trakcyjnych wyprodukowano w Polsce po 1989 r.?, 2) na czym polegała jego ewolucja techniczna oraz jakie wskaźniki porównawcze można stosować w analizach?, 3) czy produkcja jest ukierunkowana na rynek krajowy czy na eksport oraz na czym polegają przewagi konkurencyjne naszych producentów? Okres badań to lata 1989–2022. Badania zrealizowano metodą desk research na podstawie literatury, specjalistycznych baz danych oraz danych producentów taboru. W badanym okresie wyprodukowano w Polsce dla krajowych przewoźników łącznie 254 spalinowe i 763 elektryczne zespoły trakcyjne oraz 13 piętrowych składów wagonowych, eksploatowanych w systemie push-pull. Badania dowiodły, że po kryzysie gospodarczym w latach 90. XX w. dzięki usamorządowieniu kolei i wsparciu środków unijnych udało się odtworzyć krajowy rynek produkcji pasażerskiego taboru kolejowego w segmencie elektrycznych i spalinowych zespołów trakcyjnych, ale pozycja konkurencyjna polskich producentów w stosunku do międzynarodowych koncernów jest niska. Producenci pasażerskiego taboru kolejowego w Polsce są w stanie w pełni zaspokoić potrzeby rynku krajowego, ale ich przewaga konkurencyjna na rynkach zagranicznych ma głównie charakter cenowy i dotyczy segmentu spalinowych zespołów trakcyjnych.

A Contract-Based Specification Method for Model Transformations
Authors: Dang Duc-Hanh , Nguyen Thi-Hanh
Published: April 2023

Model transformations play an essential role in model-driven engineering. However, model transformations are often complex to develop, maintain, and ensure quality. Platform-independent specification languages for transformations are required to fully and accurately express requirements of transformation systems and to offer support for realization and verification tasks. Several specification languages have been proposed, but it still lacks a strong one based on a solid formal foundation for both high expressiveness and usability. This paper introduces a language called TC4MT to precisely specify requirements of transformations. The language is designed based on a combination of a contract-based approach and the graph theory foundation of triple graph grammar. Specifically, we consider graph patterns as core elements of our language and provide a concrete syntax in the form of UML class diagrams together with OCL conditions to visually and intuitively represent such pattern-based specifications. We develop a support tool and evaluate our proposed method by comparing it with current methods in literature.

Enhanced Aircraft Wake Decay Under Crosswind Conditions
Authors: Xu Ziming , Li Dong
Published: April 2023

The starting vortex generated by air blowing from the ground destroys the aircraft wake vortex within a short period of time. Thus, air blowing might shorten flight separation and promote airport operating efficiency. A crosswind is a common phenomenon affecting airplane landing, and it can greatly affect air blowing. In this paper, a large-eddy simulation was used to study the interference exerted by different blowing zones on a wake vortex. The best-performing blowing strategy was estimated by ascertaining the relationship between the blowing zone aspect ratio and the corresponding starting vortex strength. It was found that, without the crosswind, the blowing effect remained almost constant for an aspect ratio of between one and 16. A passive tracer released from the different blowing zones proved that the mechanisms of enhanced vortex decay, with or without crosswind, were identical. However, the results showed that crosswind caused asymmetrical and reduced artificial wake decay enhancement. When the crosswind was imposed, the development of the upwind vortex was sensitive to the aspect ratio, and the blowing zone with an aspect ratio of 16 showed the best performance.
HLPW-4/GMGW-3: Mesh Adaptation for RANS Technology Focus Group Workshop Summary
Authors: Park Michael A. , Alauzet Frédéric , Michal Todd
Published: April 2023

The AIAA workshop series helps guide the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) community through publicly available test cases and impartial evaluation to establish the state-of-the-art in applied CFD. A summary of the Mesh Adaptation Technical Focus Group submissions for the joint Fourth CFD High Lift Prediction and Third Geometry & Mesh Generation Workshop is provided. The Common Research Model High-Lift variant (CRM-HL) is the target of this investigation. A 2D high-lift airfoil solution verification case was extracted from the 3D CRM-HL. Low variation is shown between 2D solutions with mesh adaptation to control estimated solution interpolation and output errors. As expected, variation for these mesh adaptation techniques is larger for the 3D CRM-HL than the 2D airfoil. More importantly, the 3D mesh-adapted results have a lower variation than expert-crafted meshes of equal or larger size. Suspected multiple solutions to Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes with the Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model appear to resolve into a common solution with mesh resolution.

Published: April 2023

Objetivo: Compreender quais as alterações bucais em pacientes com ventilação mecânica e a importância do cirurgião no controle e prevenção dessas alterações. Revisão bibliográfica:  Das alterações bucais observadas nesses pacientes, destaca-se a hipossalivação/xerostomia. É evidente a necessidade da odontologia hospitalar tais como profissional da odontologia e da equipe multidisciplinar na unidade de terapia intensiva para valia do diagnóstico das alterações bucais, cuidados, como também monitoramento da saúde e higiene bucal, melhorando assim a condição de saúde. Considerações finais: Em concordância com a literatura, conclui-se que o desempenho do cirurgião é de suma importância no controle e prevenção das alterações bucais em pacientes na UTI, podendo reduzir também o período de internação, incluindo também a redução de custos. O biofilme nesses pacientes é provocado pela patologia respiratória, resultando em maior chance ocorrer doença periodontal. Com a correta prevenção, instrução e treinamento é possível diminuir o desenvolvimento bacteriano, tendo por conclusão também que a clorexidina e óleos essenciais tem sua vantagem e prognostico bom ao realizar o seu uso.

Objetivo: Analisar se a prática de esportes ao longo da vida e na terceira idade é benéfica ou prejudicial aos joelhos dos indivíduos desta faixa etária. Métodos: O estudo a ser desenvolvido é de natureza quantitativa, com recorte transversal, primário, observacional e descritivo. Foi aplicado um questionário composto por 14 questões visando obter as informações necessárias para se atingir os objetivos do estudo, que são os de analisar os efeitos no joelho, positivos ou negativos, da prática de esportes em indivíduos da terceira idade e, se possível, determinar aqueles esportes mais benéficos ou maléficos aos indivíduos desta faixa etária. Resultados: A amostragem revelou que apenas 57,6% dos praticantes de exercícios queixam-se de dores na articulação, enquanto 69,2% dos não praticantes têm a mesma queixa. Quando observamos ainda aqueles que já praticaram exercícios ao longo de suas vidas, vemos que 62,5% sofrem com dores na articulação e entre aqueles que nunca praticaram, 71,4% sofrem com as dores. Conclusão: Conclui-se que, proporcionalmente, aqueles que praticam ou já praticaram exercícios físicos tem menos dores no joelho do que aqueles que não praticam ou nunca praticaram.

Published: April 2023

Objetivo: Analisar os efeitos do posicionamento em prona na evolução clínica do paciente com COVID-19, correlacionando evidências que assegurem à manobra, a melhora substancial do paciente. Métodos: Revisão integrativa, com estudos publicados no período entre 2020 a 2022, nas seguintes bases de dados: Scielo, Google acadêmico, PubMed, Science Research, tendo como questão norteadora: “Em que medida a posição prona pode influenciar na melhora do tratamento em pacientes com Covid-19?”.  Após a leitura e seleção, o percurso do estudo foi ilustrado por um fluxograma e quadro expondo os principais resultados. Resultados: Em análise prévia, os estudos mostraram que o procedimento de prona é uma manobra estudada há mais de quatro décadas, despertando na comunidade científica, interesse em pesquisar sobre seus benefícios e, principalmente, a utilização da manobra em pacientes hospitalizados com Covid-19. Considerações finais: Embora, os resultados sejam favoráveis, ainda não há consenso, por parte dos autores pesquisados, sobre a efetividade da manobra e sua indicação como recurso para pacientes hospitalizados com Covid-19. Assim, será preciso avançar e buscar evidências para então chegar ao consenso de recomendação da prática da manobra como método de tratamento.

Objetivo: Descrever, por meio da literatura científica, acerca da gestação, parto e puerpério durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Revisão bibliográfica: Durante a pandemia da COVID-19, utilizaram-se de diferentes estratégias para assegurar assistência à saúde à mulheres no ciclo gravídico puerperal. Apesar desses esforços, no Brasil, houve diversas restrições, dentre elas a da rede de apoio pelos serviços, que exacerbou a solidão e os sintomas nesse público. Destaca-se a importância de fornecer apoio às mulheres grávidas e puérperas para reduzir os sentimentos de isolamento, a fim de suavizar as consequências para saúde mental. Mesmo em um cenário adverso, os direitos dessas mulheres devem ser respeitados. Considerações finais: Urge fornecer rede de apoio e suporte psicossocial às mulheres durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Caso contrário, eventos adversos podem ocorrer durante a gravidez e, portanto, afetar a mãe e o recém-nascido. O apoio interpessoal e a conexão social são protetores contra o desenvolvimento de sintomas psíquicos.

Considerações finais: Apesar das dificuldades encontradas na literatura, políticas públicas são eficazes no combate à obesidade. Devem ser bem delimitadas, aplicadas e adaptadas para as diferentes realidades. Para tanto, deve-se buscar meios favoráveis às respectivas implementações.
تجلّيات الديستوبيا في الرّواية الجزائريّة، رواية " وطن من زجاج" لياسمينة صالح أنموذجًا
Authors: القريناوي فريدة جميعان
Published: April 2023

يُعدّ الأدب مرآة المجتمع، لذلك نراه يتأثّر بالواقع المعيش، فيعكس كلّ ما يمرّ به المجتمع من تغيّراتٍ، أو تقلّبات. ولأنّ الأحداث لا بدّ لها من مكانٍ تحدث فيه، كان للمدينة العربيّة أثرٌ بالغ الحضور في تصويرها، ورصد التحوّلات الّتي تمثّلها، سواء كانت إلى الأفضل لتصبحَ مكانًا تصلح الإقامة فيه ( يوتوبيا)، أم إلى الأسوأ، فتكون بمثابة لعنةٍ لأبنائها، تذيقهم الويلات، وتُجرّعهم الآهات، من خلال الفقر المدقع، والعنف اللا محدود، والقتل العشوائي، فتكون مكانًا فاسدًا، غير صالح للحياة( ديستوبيا). اكتسحت ظاهرة العنف والإرهاب العديد من البلدان العربيّة، الأمر الّذي قام الكتّاب برصده في إبداعاتهم الرّوائيّة، الّتي جاءت شاهدةً على ذلك، من خلال الاتّجاه إلى الأدب الديستوبي، الّذي يصوّر واقعًا سيئًا، لا مجال للعيش فيه؛ فشبح الموت يحوم في كلّ بقعةٍ فيه؛ ليتحوّل الحاضر فيه دليلًا على المستقبل الغامض، ويصبح الحنين إلى الماضي مطلبًا إلزاميًّا في نفوس الأفراد. إذًا المدينة الفاسدة في الأدب، جاءت لتعكس لنا حياة أفراد، ماضيهم أجمل من حاضرهم، وهذه هي قمّة البؤس والمعاناة. تتصدّى دراستنا هذه إلى بحث تمظهرات العنف والديستوبيا في الأدب العربي، من خلال رواية" وطن من زجاج" للكاتبة ياسمينة صالح، الّتي تحدّثت من خلالها عن إحدى الفترات الحرجة، الّتي شهدتها الجزائر، فترة الأزمة الوطنيّة، الّتي استمرّت عشر سنوات، أُزهقت فيها الكثير من الأرواح، وارتفعت حوادث الاغتيال والخطف، فتحوّلت الجزائر إلى حرب عصاباتٍ لا يمكنها حماية مواطنيها. وقد وجدنا أن الكاتبة تمكّنت من تصوير الواقع الديستوبي للجزائر، وكيف انعكس الأمر على المكان والزّمان والشّخوص.
