Authors: Tiengo Verônica Martins
Published: September 2021

Quais as implicações da pandemia para a população em situação de rua? Quais foram as respostas do Estado? Há um novo perfil de pessoas em situação de rua? Esses são alguns dos elementos discutidos neste artigo, cujo objetivo é debater sobre as implicações das medidas de contenção da pandemia do novo coronavírus para a vida desse grupo populacional. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, feita em dois sítios digitais no período entre março a julho de 2020, pautada pela teoria crítica. Os resultados indicam que houve crescimento dos que vivem nas ruas, e sua sobrevivência foi obstaculizada, visto a impossibilidade ou redução da realização dos trabalhos informais, sua principal fonte de sobrevivência. O Estado brasileiro ampliou o número de vagas em abrigos, criou abrigos emergenciais, instalou pias em locais públicos, todavia, tais medidas foram insuficientes para lidar com a questão.THE PANDEMIC OF COVID-19 AND ITS INCIDENCES FOR THE HOMELESS POPULATIONAbstractWhat are the implications of the pandemic for the homeless? What were the State's responses? Is there a new profile of homeless people? These are some of the elements discussed in this article, which aims to discuss the implications of the measures to contain the pandemic of the new coronavirus for the life of this population group. This is a bibliographical research, carried out in two websites from March to July 2020, based on the critical theory. The results indicate that there has been an increase of those who live on the streets, and their survival has been hindered, given the impossibility or reduction of informal work, their main source of survival. The Brazilian State expanded the number of places in shelters, created emergency shelters, installed sinks in public places, however, such measures were insufficient to deal with the issue.Keywords: Population in homeless situation.

Published: September 2021

Black sexual minority men in the southern United States continue to experience pronounced disparities related to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmit- ted infections (STI). HIV/STI stigma undermines outcomes along the HIV and STI care continuums, and exacerbates HIV/STI disparities. Identifying who is at greater risk of experiencing HIV/STI stigma following diagnosis could inform targeted intervention efforts to address stigma and improve outcomes among vulnerable individuals. The current study therefore explored associations between sexual orientation outness and HIV/STI stigma in the first year post-HIV/STI diagnosis among Black sexual minority men in the southern United States. Data were drawn from a longitudinal study of 151 participants followed for the year following an HIV/STI diagnosis. Outness was measured before HIV/STI diagnosis, and HIV/STI stigma was measured monthly following diagnosis. Data were analyzed with multilevel models. Participants who were not fully out experienced greater internalized, enacted, and anticipated HIV/STI stigma immediately following their diagnosis than participants who were fully out. Moreover, outness moderated the trajectory of internalized HIV/STI stigma over the first year post-diagnosis: Participants who were not fully out initially experienced a faster decline in internalized HIV/STI stigma as compared to participants who were fully out. Findings suggest that Black sexual minority men who are not fully out may be particularly vulnerable to HIV/STI stigma following their diagnosis. Targeted intervention efforts could address HIV/STI stigma among vulnerable individuals during this time-period that is critical for linkage to and engagement in HIV/STI care.
Proportion of U.S. Clinics Offering LGBT-Tailored Mental Health Services Decreased Over Time: A Panel Study of the National Mental Health Services Survey
Authors: Chen Derek , Watson Ryan J. , Caputi Theodore L. , Shover Chelsea L.
Published: September 2021

Our objective was to characterize the proportion of U.S. mental health clinics that offered LGBT-tailored mental health services between 2014 and 2018. We used data from the National Mental Health Services Survey (NMHSS) to construct a mixed logistic model of availability of LGBT-tailored mental health services over time, by region (Northeast, South, Midwest and West), and by facility type (Veterans Administration, inpatient/residential, outpatient, community mental health centers and mixed). Our results show that the overall proportion of mental health clinics that offered LGBT-tailored services decreased from 2014 to 2018. Our results also indicate that Veteran Affairs clinics and facilities in the West and Northeast were most likely to offer LGBT-tailored mental health services. Given the temporal, regional, and facility gaps in LGBT-tailored mental health services availability, more effort should be dedicated to addressing this disparity.
ГЕНДЕРНОЕ ВЛИЯНИЕ НА СОДЕРЖАНИЕ МАКРОЭЛЕМЕНТОВ В СЫВОРОТКЕ КРОВИ И В ВОЛОСАХ У ЛИЦ С РАЗЛИЧНЫМ УРОВНЕМ ФИЗИЧЕСКОЙ АКТИВНОСТИ

Проведено исследование взаимосвязи гендерного фактора и содержания макроэлементов (кальция, калия, магния, натрия, фосфора) в сыворотке крови и волосах лиц с различным уровнем физической активности. Показана большая значимость гендерного фактора в изменении содержания исследуемых макроэлементов в волосах в сравнении с уровнем физической активности. Подобной зависимости для сыворотки крови обнаружить не удалось. Выявлена прямо пропорциональная зависимость сывороточного содержания кальция (kwp = 0,037) и магния (kwp = 0,048) с уровнем физической активности. Проведенный двухфакторный анализ влияния гендерного фактора и уровня физической активности на содержание кальция сыворотки крови показал статистически значимый эффект (p = 0,060) только для гендерного фактора. Больший процент объясняемой дисперсии для указанной дисперсионной модели в случае волос позволяет говорить о меньшей прогностической значимости сыворотки в отношении динамики уровня кальция при сочетании изучаемых факторов (гендерного фактора и уровня физической активности). Во всех проверенных моделях для разных макроэлементов влияние члена, отражающего взаимодействие факторов, было незначимым, что характеризует взаимную независимость эффектов гендерного фактора и уровня физической активности. При этом наиболее значимые различия для большинства анализируемых элементов в волосах у юношей и девушек были выявлены в группе с высоким уровнем физической активности.
UM EXTRAVAGANTE MANTO MÍSTICO COBRE O CORPO FENDIDO DO CANGACEIRO
Authors: Hartenthal Mariana W. von
Published: September 2021

O artigo utiliza uma perspectiva dos estudos de gênero para examinar a exuberante indumentária criada pelo bando de cangaceiros liderados por Lampião, especialmente durante os anos 1930. Parte do argumento de Judith Butler (1990) sobre a superficialidade da construção do gênero e de uma fotografia de Lampião e Maria Bonita tirada por Benjamin Abrahão para propor que o traje cangaceiro funcionava como forma de recompor misticamente o corpo “aberto” do guerreiro masculino, fraturado pela presença de mulheres no bando. Utiliza a teoria de Mary Douglas (1966) sobre a relação entre os limites do corpo e os limites sociais para compreender as negociações de gênero que se manifestaram sobre as superfícies dos objetos do cangaço.

Published: September 2021

Não precisamos olhar além-mar para percebemos que dentro da nossa própria história, grupos foram subjugados, reprimidos e perseguidos. Em virtude dessas razões, abordamos, neste trabalho, as experiências vividas na festa de um determinado terreiro de religião de matrizes africanas em comemoração à entidade espiritual e dona da celebração, Maria Padilha. Logo, o objeto escolhido é um espaço de resistência ancestral que tanto é alvo de preconceitos, estigmas e estereótipos pelas sociedades brasileiras não praticantes. A partir de bases bibliográficas concernentes à oralidade e à tradição oral africana, sob a ótica e panorama dos adeptos e simpatizantes do terreiro investigado, compartilhamos com os leitores as análises no intuito de compreender, valorizar e respeitar as narrativas protagonizadas pelos membros dessa religião.
Program initiatives of public authorities in the field of hydrogenation of the economy in a global perspective, as of the end of 2020
Authors: Menes Maciej
Published: September 2021

In the years 2016-2020, there has been a significant acceleration in the development of technologies for the hydrogen energy use and their popularization in practice. The value of the global hydrogen market in 2018 was estimated at US $ 122 billion, predicted that it will increase to US $ 155 billion by the 2022. The appropriate policy framework has a major impact on the development of new technologies, in particular during research, prototype implementations and the initial phase of their commercialization. The spearheading countries intensively involved in the development and dissemination of hydrogen technologies are primarily : Japan, China, South Korea, Germany, France, UK, Scandinavian and Benelux countries, as well as Canada and the USA. The scale of the global development of hydrogen technologies is illustrated by the fact that at the end of 2019, vehicles with hydrogen fuel cells and the publicly accessible hydrogen refuelling stations serving them already operated in 18 countries. An effective use of the incurred expenditures undoubtedly requires the interested states to formulate an appropriate policy (strategy) for the hydrogenation of the economy, including, in addition to precisely defined long-term objectives, e.g. elements of support from public administration, assurance of: stable investment conditions and the necessary regulatory conditions. The article attempts to synthetically present the political framework, i.e. the functioning plans and programs as well as national strategies for the development of hydrogen technology and economy in 19 countries

Published: September 2021

The stage of Indonesian history, especially southern Borneo (Kalimantan), in the first decade of the 20th century was marked by the growth and development of nationalism. The main actors are the youngsters. From 1929-1942, there were many movement organizations with various characteristics. The organization is generally based in one headquarters. Among them are Bakumpai’s youth organizations such as the Marabahan Youth Association (PPM), the Marabahan Branch of Sarekat Islam up to the Taman Siswa School which is headquartered in Round House, Marabahan. Historical studies of the existence of round houses are still not enough. Spatial aspects (place of events) still get a small portion in local historiography. This study aims to describe the existence of Round House as the headquarters for the Marabahan Youngsters (Bakumpai) in Marabahan, Southern Borneo, in 1929 -1946. This research used a historical method with heuristics, criticism, interpretation and historiography stages. The results of the research showed that Round House is a symbolic name for the determination of the Bakumpai youngsters to fight through the organization. Originally named the Joglo Cap Crown House, as a symbol of the glory of the Bakumpai Merchant. The Cap Crown house later changed its name to Round House after becoming the headquarters of the Marabahan Youth Association and the Marabahan Branch of Islamic Sarekat in 1929. This house was also the location of the Sarekat Borneo (Kalimantan) Congress in 1930. Round House also became the school area for PHIS-Taman Siswa Branch in 1931. Due to its important position, Round House became the Headquarters of Indonesian People's Rebellion Front (BPRI) before the return of NICA to southern Borneo in 1945. This building has the status of a cultural heritage building in 2011. However, unfortunately, it is still minimally functioning as a learning resource, place or learning facility for students.

Published: September 2021

The low level of student activity in Social Studies Education courses is a problem for students' ability to interact well with fellow students, lecturers and learning resources. This condition requires the application of an effective learning model to increase student learning activity in the classroom. This study answered two research questions, namely how student learning activities in Social Studies Education courses use Make a Match cooperative learning and how to apply Make a Match cooperative learning models in increasing student learning activities in Social Studies Education for Elementary School courses. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR). The subjects of this study were the fifth semester students of Class C of the Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program who attended the Social Studies Education for Elementary School course as many as 47 students. Research data were collected through observation. The data analysis technique used was descriptive analysis. The results showed that (1) the dominant aspects of learning activities in Social Studies Education courses with the Make a Match type cooperative learning model were aspects of group interaction and aspects of answering questions; and (2) Social Studies Education for Elementary School courses with the Make a Match type cooperative learning model can increase student learning activities, the indications are that the percentage score of student learning activities is above 70 (78.72%).
Disposal Practices of Unused Medication Among Pharmacists in Libya
Authors: Atia Ahmed
Published: September 2021

Background and objective. Globally, disposing of unused medicines has become a source of concern, as pharmaceutical waste enters the ecosystem, posing a threat to human health and the environment. This study aimed to assess the disposal practice of unused medication among pharmacists in Libya. This study also seeks to determine if pharmacists plan to have their pharmacies serve as assembly points for potential take-back initiatives. Methods. A random sample of 150 pharmacists from various government and private pharmacies in Tripoli participated in a self-administered questionnaire about their disposal practices, and knowledge on pharmacies serving as collection points for ideal disposal of unused medicines. Descriptive statistics were used to interpret the data. Results. A total of 128 pharmacists completed the survey. The majority of respondents said that throwing discarded drugs in the trash bin was their preferred method of disposal (53.1%), followed by discarding via burn and drug wholesalers (17.2%, 14.8%, respectively). Only 2.1% of the respondents disposed unused medicines according to the WHO guidelines of drug disposal. Moreover, about 65.6% had poor knowledge about Take-Back program. Conclusion. Failure to follow the WHO guidelines for drug disposal raises the risk of contamination of our environment and the likelihood of humans and animals ingesting harmful pharmaceutical wastes.

THERMAL PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF DETERMINATION OF LOAD CAPACITY MEDIUM VOLTAGE POWER CABLES WITH CROSS-POLYETHYLENE INSULATION IN STATIONARY OPERATING MODES
Authors: Gontar Yuliya , Shchebenyuk Lesya , Antonets Stanislav
Published: September 2021

Currently, the development trends of global medium voltage cable networks are aimed at the introduction of cables with cross-linked polyethylene insulation. Such cables have a higher operating temperature, which allows to increase their throughput, and increased stability when working in conditions of overload and short circuits. It is possible to determine the allowable heat and electrical loads only if the heat balance is observed. Fundamentally important for solving the problems of heat balance is the significant dependence of thermal conductivity and heat capacity of polyethylene insulation on temperature. It is established that the capacity of the cable, determined by regulatory models and average environmental parameters, provides only preliminary information about its heating. For certain requirements and for innovative cable designs, a necessary condition for determining the load capacity in real stationary modes of operation is the use of the heat balance model. A system of mathematical equations is proposed, which due to the combination of structural and thermophysical parameters of the cable with the conditions of the external environment allows to determine the parameters of the stationary thermal regime of the cable at any load current.
FORECASTING THE EFFICIENCY OF ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE STAGES OF THEIR LIFE CYCLE
Authors: Martynenko Alina
Published: September 2021

In the conditions of accelerated scientific and technological progress and social development, products can lose consumer value and, therefore, be ousted from the consumer market by other goods with a higher consumer value. In this regard, the importance of predicting product life cycles and their effectiveness is increasing. The aim of the article is to study the issue of forecasting the efficiency of electrical products taking into account the stages of their life cycle by constructing a multifactor regression model. The method of correlation-regression analysis was used to build a forecast model and determine the most influential factors for a particular motor, which determined the relationship between the comprehensive indicator and individual indicators of product efficiency. Thus, the article investigated the issue of forecasting the efficiency of electrical products taking into account the stages of their life cycle. On the example of the electric motor AIR 80 PJSC «Kharkiv Electrotechnical Plant «Ukrelectromash»» a multifactor regression model for the stage of decline is built, which includes the most important indicators of the impact on the comprehensive indicator of efficiency and allows to predict its dynamics.
Comminuted Distal Radius Fracture with Concomitant Median Nerve Transection
Authors: Mead Kelly C. , Sgromolo Nicole M. , Krueger Chad A. , Rhee Peter C.
Published: September 2021

Case:

A 41-year-old woman sustained a distal radius fracture with concomitant median nerve transection. The wound was consistent with an inside-to-outside mechanism with noted metaphyseal bone loss at the level of the median nerve injury. The median nerve was not amenable to primary repair, and given concern for inability to define the zone of the injury, the patient underwent delayed reconstruction of the nerve.

Conclusion:

A review of the literature highlights the rare incidence of this combined injury that can be undetected or misdiagnosed as an acute carpal tunnel syndrome or stretch injury to the median nerve.
The Management of Missed Median Nerve Laceration After Pediatric Both-Bone Forearm Fracture
Authors: Kleven Andrew D. , Shi Shao-min , Hanley Jessica M.
Published: September 2021

Case:

A 12-year-old girl presented with a both-bone forearm fracture after a fall. Fracture healing occurred, but nerve injury was not addressed until 18 months after injury. Magnetic resonance imaging and electromyography yielded a median nerve injury, and she underwent nerve reconstruction with sural nerve grafting. She improved but continued to have deficits beyond her 1-year follow-up.

Conclusion:

Both-bone forearm fractures are a common fracture pattern with rare complications. Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion with persistent nerve symptoms and consider further investigation, given the importance of early nerve repair.

Parsonage-Turner syndrome, also known as brachial neuritis or neuralgic amyotrophy, is characterized by sudden-onset pain and subsequent weakness of the shoulder. Known precipitating factors include viral and bacterial infections and certain immunizations. Isolated cases after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection have been reported. We report the case of a 66-year-old woman with right shoulder dysfunction and medial scapular winging after immunization with the SARS-CoV-2 BNT162b2 vaccine (Pfizer).

Conclusion:

After physical therapy, the patient resumed her normal activities of daily living. Findings from this case represent the first known documentation of Parsonage-Turner syndrome after SARS-CoV-2 BNT162b2 vaccination.
Applications of geochemistry and basin modeling in the diagenetic evaluation of Paleocene sandstones, Kupe Field, New Zealand
Authors: Higgs Karen E. , Munday Stuart , Forbes Anne , Kroeger Karsten F.
Published: September 2021

Paleocene sandstones in the Kupe Field of Taranaki Basin, New Zealand, are subdivided into two diagenetic zones, an upper kaolinite–siderite (K-S) zone and a lower chlorite–smectite (Ch-Sm) zone. Petrographic observations show that the K-S zone has formed from diagenetic alteration of earlier-formed Ch-Sm sandstones, whereby biotite and chlorite–smectite have been altered to form kaolinite and siderite, and plagioclase has reacted to form kaolinite and quartz. These diagenetic zones can be difficult to discriminate from downhole bulk-rock geochemistry, which is largely due to a change in element-mineral affinities without a wholesale change in element abundance. However, some elements have proven useful for delimiting the diagenetic zones, particularly Ca and Na, where much lower abundances in the K-S zone are interpreted to represent removal of labile elements during diagenesis. Multivariate analysis has also proven an effective method of distinguishing the diagenetic zones by highlighting elemental affinities that are interpreted to represent the principal diagenetic phases. These include Fe-Mg-Mn (siderite) in the K-S zone, and Ca-Mn (calcite) and Fe-Mg-Ti-Y-Sc-V (biotite and chlorite–smectite) in the Ch-Sm zone.

Results from this study demonstrate that the base of the K-S zone approximately corresponds to the base of the current hydrocarbon column. An assessment with 1D basin models and published stable-isotope data show that K-S diagenesis is likely to have occurred during deep-burial diagenesis in the last 4 Myr. Modeling predicts that CO2-rich fluids were generating from thermal decarboxylation of intraformational Paleocene coals at this time, and accumulation of high partial pressures of intraformational CO2 in the hydrocarbon column is considered a viable catalyst for the diagenetic reactions. Variable CO2 concentrations and residence times are interpreted to be the reason for different levels of K-S diagenesis, which is supported by a clear relationship between the presence or absence of a well-developed K-S zone and the present-day reservoir-corrected CO2 content.
What To Expect When You’re Expecting Robots
Authors: Jacobs Trent
Published: September 2021

The market turmoil of 2020 left the upstream industry with diminished ranks, palpable concerns over long-term demand, and mounting pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. This made for what many consider a bullish case, as JPT has reported, for robotics uptake over the course of the decade.

But there are reasons to temper expectations. After all, this is the oil and gas industry. The upstream land-scape is as vast as it is specialized. Each silo is a fortress of status quo to which robot developers must dedicate significant time and fortune in conquering. Some are worth the battle, especially in the offshore arena where factors of cost and safety have made this the most active corner of oil and gas robotics. Many other use cases may be worth bypassing.

About 70% of the world’s oil and gas supply is produced onshore which, of course, is much more accessible to human operators. That means a robot dog in the Permian Basin has to jump over a much higher bar in order to create value than a robot dog tasked with inspecting a platform in the middle of the Norwegian Sea.

Speaking of inspection, this is both the chief strength and upper limit for much of the current generation of robots. The next generation will be asked to fix things. And whatever they can’t do - or are just not the right tool for - look for it to be covered by industrial automation.

As a new class of oil and gas robots finds its niche, and fights for investment dollars along the way, here are a few developments to track and points to consider.

This Time It’s Different, Right Boss?

The upstream sector pulled back from exploring the frontier of robotics and drone technologies in the last decade relative to other industries, but it is now being pulled forward by societal and technological shifts, according to Ed Tovar who runs an Austin-based consulting company, InTechSys, that serves the defense and energy industry.
Male involvement in family planning use and its determinants in Ethiopia. A systematic review and meta-analysis protocol
Authors: Anbesu Etsay Woldu , Aychiluhm Setognal Birara , Kahsay Znabu Hadush
Published: September 2021

Background
The need to include males that required joint spousal decision is critical in achieving key reproductive health indicators. Low involvement of males in family planning use is one of the contributing factors for low contraceptive use in Ethiopia. Despite this, there are inconsistent findings on the prevalence and determinates of males involvement in family planning use in Ethiopia. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of mal involvement in family planning use and its determinants in Ethiopia.
Methods
The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline will be used to develop the protocol. Online databases PubMed, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and unpublished grey literature will be searched to retrieve available articles from April 10-August 11/2021. The two authors will conduct selection of studies, data extraction, and quality assessment. The quality of the studies will be assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. Chi-squared test and I-squared statistic will be used to examine heterogeneity among studies. Sources of heterogeneity will be investigated using subgroup analyses and meta-regression based on regions and residence (urban and rural). Publication bias will be examined by observation using funnel plots and statistically by Begg’s and Egger’s tests. A random-effect model will be used to estimate the pooled prevalence and its determinants of male involvement in family planning use.
Discussion
The role of the male in family planning and participation in contraceptive use improves women’s uptake and continuity of family planning use. Though there are studies on male involvement in family planning use, there is no synthesis research findings on the pooled prevalence of male involvement in family planning use and its determinants in Ethiopia. Therefore, the finding from this systematic review and meta-analysis will help the national health sector transformational plane to emphasize the pooled prevalence and its determinants that drive low male involvement in family planning use in Ethiopia.

Background: Beautifully and colorfully dyed batik cloth is an Indonesian cultural heritage. Batik production exposes workers and the environment to various physical and chemical hazards. This interdisciplinary study aimed to assess the environmental and health parameters of batik workers, and apply environmental and health interventions to achieve environmentally friendly batik production with no human hazards.Methods: To assess the environmental pollutants, the wastewater quality parameters were measured. Air pollutant assessment was done using a low volume sampler. Liver, kidney function and blood chromium were compared between batik workers and healthy controls. Health interventions were done to choose the best gloves for the batik workers followed with assessing convenience level of selected gloves and identifying obstacles that prevent them from using gloves properly. The effectiveness of nerve gliding and wrist exercises in improving carpal tunnel syndrome clinical symptoms were evaluated. Environmental interventions were done by developing wastewater treatment technology using modified electrochemical systems. To assess the sustainability of the “Healthy Batik Village”, we analyzed batik owners’ and workers’ commitment using multi-dimensional scaling methods.Results:The parameters of water pollutants were above the national standard for wastewater, while theair pollutants were still below the standard threshold, withAl, Fe, Cu, and Zn having the highest breathing zone concentrations. There were significant differences (p<0.05) in liver and kidney function levels between batik workers and controls. The modified electrochemical system using graphene electrodes was effective to degrade the dyes used in batik production. Based on the market survey, literature study and comfort assessment, neoprene gloves were chosen as a test glove. Neoprene gloves were considered significantly more convenient compared to polyvinylchloride (PVC) gloves as the workers’ daily gloves (p<0.05).Nerve gliding exercises and wrist splints were effective in causing noticeable carpal tunnel syndrome clinical improvement. Improvements in workers' health, high quality of batik waste treatment, and an ideal management strategy are needed for the sustainability of the "Healthy Batik Village".Conclusion: This study showed there were occupational and environmental hazards exposed to the workers. The health, environmental, and social interventions executed are part of the implementation research to establish the “Healthy Batik Village”.

Background
To evaluate alterations in the choroidal volume (CV) of eyes with entire macula-involved myopic retinoschisis (MRS) and to investigate predictive factors for CV and visual acuity.
Methods
This cross-sectional observational study recruited 32 MRS eyes, 52 non-MRS highly myopic eyes, and 55 emmetropic eyes. Retinal and choroidal morphological findings were obtained using SD-OCT. The CV of the three groups was compared, and factors associated with CV and BCVA were analyzed.
Results
The macular CV was significantly lower in MRS eyes than in emmetropic eyes (P < 0.0001) and in non-MRS highly myopic eyes (P < 0.05). The difference in CV for MRS eyes among the superior (0.34 ± 0.16 mm3), inferior (0.33 ± 0.17 mm3), nasal (0.27 ± 0.12 mm3) and temporal (0.34 ± 0.21 mm3) quadrants was not significant (P = 0.3755). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the total macular CV in MRS eyes was negatively correlated with axial length (P = 0.0459), decreasing by 0.19 mm3 for each millimeter of axial length. Refractive error and defects in the ellipsoid zone (EZ) were associated with BCVA in logMAR units (P = 0.0075 and 0.0002, respectively); BCVA decreased by 0.027 logMAR units for each diopter of myopia. The total macular retinal volume (RV) in MRS eyes with EZ defects was higher than that in eyes with intact or partially continuous EZs (P = 0.0460).
Conclusion
In MRS eyes, the choroid is thinner, the total macular CV deceases as the axial length increases, and the severity of myopia and the integrity of the EZ, associated with the schisic extent are predictors of visual acuity, and the decrease of the macular CV is not the influencing factor of the visual function.

High-latitude atmospheric meridional energy transport plays a fundamental role in the Arctic climate system. However, despite numerous studies, there are no established clear regional features of the atmospheric energy transport components from a large-scale perspective. This study aims at investigating the internal energy and its instantaneous sensible and latent heat transports in the troposphere through the Arctic gate at 70°N using the high-resolution climate reanalysis ERA5. We have done a regional analysis of the time series of heat fluxes across the zonal section and found by decomposing them into the empirical orthogonal functions that they have opposing features for the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. In particular, the sensible heat transport dominates in the Western Hemisphere, whereas the latent heat transport dominates in the Eastern Hemisphere. Moreover, we detected the existence of an anti-phase dipole pattern for each of these components in the entire troposphere, which is robust because it was retained during both the climate cooling in 1950–1978 and warming in 1979–2019. The hemispheric net fluxes indicate that the Arctic gains internal energy mostly due to the latent heat transport.

Objective

To examine the effects of age, period, and birth cohort on weight and waist circumference (WC) changes among the participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study from 1999 to 2015.
Methods

This prospective cohort study included 4895 participants aged ≥ 20 years (41.3% men), who were divided based on sex into eleven 10-year age groups. Analyses were conducted to explicitly assess the effects of age vs. period on weight and WC changes. We also implicitly assessed weight and WC variations regarding different cohorts and period-specific experiences across various age groups.
Results

Upon 15 years of follow-up, the mean weight of men increased from 75.2 ± 12.3 to 80.5 ± 14.3 kg, and this trend was accompanied by an increase in WC from 88.8 ± 10.9 to 97.8 ± 10.4 cm. Men in all age cohorts tended to have a rise in their weight with aging throughout the follow-up period (coefficient for age: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.45–0.93). Considering WC changes, all age cohorts had a rising trend throughout the follow-up period with aging (coefficient for age: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.57–0.96). Women in all age cohorts tended to have a rise in their weight throughout the follow-up period with aging (coefficient for age: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.28–1.68). Considering the changes of WC, all age cohorts had an ascending trend throughout the follow-up period with aging (coefficient for age: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.14–1.50).
Conclusion

The rise in weight and WC was strongly age-dependent in both sexes. The men born in the recent birth cohorts and the women born in earlier birth cohorts had the most alarming weight and WC gains. More efforts must be spent on obesity prevention policies, especially for younger men.

Background

The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is rising in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) with diet being a key risk factor. Policies to tackle diet-related NCDs require a broader understanding of patterns and drivers of healthy eating to inform interventions. This study assessed the patterns and determinants of eating healthy in Kenya.
Methods

This study used cross-sectional data from the 2015/16 Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey (KIHBS). The outcome variable for this study was a continuous healthy diet index (HDI) developed using nine WHO/FAO healthy diet recommendations through principal component analysis (PCA), as a measure of eating healthy. The HDI score and the proportion of Kenyan households meeting WHO/ FAO healthy diet recommendations for the nine dietary components were summarized by gender of the household head, residence, and socioeconomic status. Multivariable linear regression was used to assess determinants of eating healthy in Kenya. Crude and adjusted marginal effects and 95% CI were used to assess the strength of association.
Results

A total of 21,512 households in Kenya were included in the sample of which 60% were rural and about two thirds headed by males. The HDI index ranged from − 1.13 to 1.70, with a higher score indicating healthier eating. The mean HDI score in Kenya was 0.24, which was considered moderate, with urban residents having a higher score (0.25) than rural residents (0.23). No Kenyan household met all the nine healthy diet recommendations with majority (84%) meeting four or less. Healthy eating was associated with higher socioeconomic status (0.28, 95% CI 0.27–0.30), living in a rural area (0.16, 95% CI 0.14–0.19), having children under five years (0.02, 95% CI 0.01–0.03) in the household, and the household head being female, having education, being employed or in union.
Conclusion

In conclusion, the majority of Kenyan households do not meet all the healthy dietary recommendations. Furthermore, eating healthy is associated with higher socioeconomic status, living in a rural area, having children under 5 years in the household, and the household head having education, being in employment and in union. The findings from this study can be used to inform policies that promote healthy eating and the prevention of diet-related NCDs among the Kenyan population.
