BACKGROUND:

Many ophthalmological complications have been associated with hydrocephalus (HC), including ocular motility disorders, visual field defects, optic atrophy, and loss of visual acuity. No studies have investigated the prevalence of strabismus and visual outcomes of children with congenital HC after ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt in Saudi Arabia.

OBJECTIVES:

Estimate the frequency of strabismic children diagnosed with HC who underwent a VP shunt procedure.

DESIGN:

Medical record review

SETTING:

Tertiary care center

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

We reviewed the files of all pediatric patients diagnosed with hydrocephalus before the age of 2 years and treated with shunts during the period 2010 to 2020 at our institution.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

Strabismus types and ophthalmic assessment (visual state, outcomes, and ocular motility state).

SAMPLE SIZE AND CHARACTERISTICS:

190 children; 98 (51.5%) males.

RESULTS:

Eighty-nine (46.8%) had congenital HC followed by intraventricular hemorrhage 36 (18.9%); 74 (38.9%) patients had regular follow-ups in ophthalmology. Sixty-five (34.2%) patients had no ophthalmic assessment or fundus examination records, while 63 (33.1%) were diagnosed with strabismus. At the initial assessment, 26 (13.6%) patients had exotropia (XT). At the final assessment, 7 (3.6%) patients had XT. The association between VP shunt and strabismus was statistically significant, (χ
2
=6.534, df=1,
P
<.01).

CONCLUSION:

More than one-third of children diagnosed with HC who had surgical treatment in a tertiary hospital did not have any records of ophthalmic assessment, which highlights the need to implement a specific ophthalmological examination protocol in patients with HC. Further studies are needed to analyze the association between VP shunt and strabismus.

LIMITATIONS:

Evaluating the ocular state and visual function before and after VP shunt was not possible.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

None.

Kur’an, bir benzeri meydana getirilemeyen mûcize bir kitaptır. O, şehadet âlemiyle gayb âlemi arasında bağ kurar. Söylediklerini delillendirir, şahitli konuşur. Çelişki, kısır döngü, hurafe ve kuruntudan uzaktır. Kur’an’ın doğru çevirisi, ilâhî mesajın sağlıklı bir şekilde iletilmesi açısından önemlidir. Günümüzde pek çok meâl ve tefsirde farklı çeviriler bulunmaktadır. Bu çevirilerden biri de Nisâ 166. âyetle ilgilidir. Bu âyet, Kur’an’ın Allah’tan olduğuna dair şahitliği konu edinmektedir. Meâller, bu şahitliğin delilli olup olmaması şeklinde ikiye ayrılmaktadır. Bir grup mütercim, bu şahitliğin delilsiz gerçekleştiğini belirten bir çeviri yapmaktadır. Diğer bir grupsa bu şahitliğin Kur’an deliliyle gerçekleştiğini belirtmek-tedir. Delilsiz şahitlik çevirisi, totoloji iddiasına yol açmaktadır. Totoloji sorununun nasıl çözümleneceği, konunun önemli bir kesitidir. Delilli şahitlik çevirisi de şahitliğin hangi yollarla ispatlanacağını gerektirmektedir. Bu makale, bahsedilen iki soruyu cevaplamak üzere kaleme alınmaktadır. Çözüm yolu olarak Kur’an’ın siyâk sibâk ve genel bağlamından faydalanılmaktadır. Aynı zamanda akıl yürütme (istidlâl) yöntemi kullanılmaktadır. Böylece ilgili âyetin sağlıklı çevirisine ve yorumuna ulaşılmaya çalışılmaktadır.

Crypto assets succeeded in making their name known to large masses with Bitcoin, which emerged as a result of the creation of the first genesis block in 2008. Until 2010, the aforementioned recognition showed itself mostly in areas such as games, but over time it managed to enter the portfolios of individual investors. Especially as of end of 2017, the rapid increases in monetary value quickly attracted the attention of corporate companies and then the (Central Banks). These assets have created different alternatives (also know as altcoins) by working and have managed to become one of the important financial instruments today. This study has examined in detail the techniques (Chaos theory, Onchain analysis and Sentiment analysis) developed on the price predictions of crypto assets, which are very important in terms of the number and quality of investors. In the study, findings were obtained that new techniques such as onchain and sentiment are more prominent in estimating crypto asset prices compared to traditional asset price estimation methods of crypto assets and that these techniques can make consistent estimations.

Permasalahan yang di hadapi di pelabuhan Sri Tanjung Gelam terdapat di dermaga ponton, yaitu free board ponton yang tingginya mencapai ± 1400mm sedangkan rata-rata free board kapal ferry speedboat yang berlabuh disana antara ± 800mm sampai 1000mm. Hal ini mengakibatkan penumpang yang seharusnya turun dari kapal menjadi naik dari kapal, dan harus di tarik dari kapal ke atas ponton. Jumlah kapal yang berlabuh di ponton Sri Tanjung Gelam sebanyak 24 kapal setiap harinya. Dari data yang di kumpul penulis free board kapal yang ada berkisar antara 800mm sampai 1000mm, maka penulis melakukan desain ulang dan menetukan rata-rata free board kapal tersebut sebesar 900mm. Ponton ini secara perhitungan dan design menghasilkan free board yang tepat seperti yang direncanakan yaitu tinggi 1400mm, draft/ saratnya 500mm, dan free board 900mm. Ketinggian ponton yang ada saat ini 2000mm dengan Sarat 600mm Free board nya 1400mm. Kesalahan pada perencanaan sebuah ponton akan menimbulkan dampak yang serius terhadap keselamatan pengunaannya. Dari data perbandingan ukuran ponton baru dan ponton lama di atas bisa didapatkan penghematan pemakian material dari ponton lama.  Pentingnya perhitungan draf atau free board ponton yang tepat akan memberikan keuntungan baik dari segi keselamatan pengguna maupun pembiayaan pembangunannya.

Published: November 2022

The choice of Duplex Stainless Steel material for oil tanker ship construction is very appropriate because in addition to having good mechanical properties (high tensile and yield strength and toughness) as a ship construction structure, it is also resistant to loads of highly corrosive liquid chemicals. Unlike Mild Steel or Duplex Stainless Steel A, welding and treating Duplex Stainless Steel requires very strict procedures and care must be taken. The choice of welding process, namely a combination of (Flux Cored Arc Welding) and SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) is a welding process that is very suitable for welding ship construction. The welding process is categorized as a semi-automatic and automatic welding process that can increase productivity while speeding up welding work. This paper illustrates the welding of two materials with different specifications, namely Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 plate material and VL D36 plate material, along with practical instructions for welding it up to the things that must be considered regarding the handling procedure. In welding Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 plate material it is very important to keep the heat input in the range of 0.5-2.5 kj / mm.

Patterns of Centennial-to-Millennial Holocene Climate Variation in the North American Mid-Latitudes
Authors: Shuman Bryan N.
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Noise in Holocene paleoclimate reconstructions can hamper detection of centennial-to-millennial climate variations and diagnoses of the dynamics involved. This paper uses multiple ensembles of reconstructions to separate signal and noise and determine what, if any, centennial-to-millennial variations influenced North America during the past 7000 yr. To do so, ensembles of temperature and moisture reconstructions were compared across four different spatial scales: continental, regional, sub-regional, and local scales. At each scale, two independent multi-record ensembles were compared to detect any centennial-to-millennial departures from the long Holocene trends, which correlate more than expected from random patterns. In all cases, the potential centennial-to-millennial variations had small magnitudes. However, at least two patterns of centennial-to-millennial variability appear evident. First, large-scale variations included a prominent Mid-Holocene anomaly from 5600–4500 YBP that increased mean effective moisture and produced temperature anomalies of different signs in different regions. The changes steepened the north-south temperature gradient in mid-latitude North America with a pattern similar to the positive mode of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Second, correlated multi-century (~500 yr) variations produce a distinct spectral signature in temperature and hydroclimate records along the western Atlantic margin. Both patterns differ from random autocorrelated variations but expressed distinct spatiotemporal characteristics consistent with separate controlling dynamics.
Variable effects of spatial resolution on modeling of nitrogen oxides

Published: November 2022

Abstract. The lifetime and concentration of nitrogen oxides (NOx) are susceptible to non-linear production and loss, and con- sequently to the resolution of a chemical transport model (CTM). Here we use the GEOS-Chem CTM in its high performance implementation (GCHP) to investigate NOx simulations over the eastern United States across a wide range of resolutions (13–181 km). Following increasing grid size, daytime surface NOx concentrations over July 2015 generally decrease over the Great Lakes (GL) region and increase over the Southern States (SS), yielding regional biases (181 km vs. 13 km) of −18 % to 9 %; meanwhile hydrogen oxide radicals (HOx) increase over both regions, consistent with their different chemical regimes. Night- time titration of ozone by surface nitric oxide (NO) was found to be more efficient at coarser resolutions, leading to longer NOx lifetimes and higher surface concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) over the GL in January 2015. The tropospheric NO2 column density at typical afternoon satellite overpass time has spatially more coherent negative biases (e.g., −10 % over the GL) at coarser resolutions in July, which reversed the positive biases of surface NOx over the SS. The reduced NO2 aloft (> 1 km altitude) at coarser resolutions was attributable to the enhanced HOx that intrudes into the upper troposphere. Application of coarse resolution simulations for interpreting satellite NO2 columns will generally underestimate surface NO2 over the GL and overestimate surface NO2 over the SS in summer, while uniformly overestimating NOx emissions over both regions. This study significantly broadens understanding of factors contributing to NOx resolution effects, and the role of fine resolution to accurately simulate and interpret NOx and its relevance to air quality.
Efficient Collocation of GNSS Radio Occultation Soundings with Passive Nadir Microwave Soundings
Authors: Meredith Alex , Leroy Stephen S. , Cahoy Kerri
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Radio Occultation (RO) using the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) can be used to infer atmospheric profiles of microwave refractivity in the Earth’s atmosphere. GNSS RO data are now assimilated into numerical weather prediction models and used for climate monitoring. New remote sensing applications are being considered that fuse GNSS RO soundings and passive nadir-scanned radiance soundings. Collocating RO soundings and nadir-scanned radiance soundings, however, is computationally expensive, especially as new commercial GNSS RO constellations greatly increase the number of global daily RO soundings. This paper develops a new and efficient technique, called the “rotation-collocation-method”, for collocating RO and nadir-scanned radiance soundings in which all soundings are rotated into the time-dependent reference frame in which the nadir sounder’s scan pattern is stationary. Collocations with RO soundings are then found when the track of an RO sounding crosses the line corresponding to the nadir sounder’s scan pattern. When applied to finding collocations between RO soundings from COSMIC-2, Metop-B-GRAS, and Metop-C-GRAS and the passive microwave soundings of ATMS on NOAA-20, Suomi-NPP, and AMSU-A on Metop-B and Metop-C for the month of January, 2021, the rotation- collocation method proves to be 99.0 % accurate and is hundreds to thousands of times faster than traditional approaches to finding collocations.
Root zone soil moisture in over 25 % of global land permanently beyond pre-industrial variability as early as 2050

Published: November 2022

Abstract. Root-zone soil moisture is a key variable representing water cycle dynamics that strongly interacts with ecohydrological, atmospheric, and biogeochemical processes. Recently, it was proposed as the control variable for the green water planetary boundary, suggesting that widespread and considerable deviations from baseline variability now predispose destabilization of Earth System functions critical to an agriculture-based civilisation. However, the global extent and severity of root-zone soil moisture changes under future scenarios remains to be scrutinized. Here, we analyzed root-zone soil moisture departures from the pre-industrial climate variability for a multi-model ensemble of 14 Earth System Models (ESMs) in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) in four climate scenarios as defined by the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP), SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5, between 2021 and 2100. The analyses were done for 43 ice-free climate reference regions used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).We defined ‘permanent departures’ when a region’s soil moisture exits the regional variability envelope of the pre-industrial climate and does not fall back into the range covered by the baseline envelope until 2100. Permanent dry departures (i.e. lower soil moisture than pre-industrial variability) were found to be most pronounced in Central America, southern Africa, the Mediterranean region, and most of South America, whereas permanent wet departures are most pronounced in southeastern South America, northern Africa, and southern Asia. In the Mediterranean region, permanent departure may have already happened according to some models. By 2100, there is permanent departure in the Mediterranean in 60 % of the ESMs in SSP1-2.6, the most mitigated situation, and 100 % in SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5, the medium-high and worst-case scenarios. North-Eastern Africa is projected to experience permanent departures in 50 % of the ESMs under SSP1-2.6, and 86 % under SSP5-8.5. The percentage of ice-free land area with departures increases in all SSP scenarios as time goes by.Wet departure are more widespread than dry departures throughout the studied timeframe, except in SSP1-2.6. In most regions, the severity of the departures increases with the severity of global warming. In 2050, permanent departures (ensemble median) occur in 10 % of global ice-free land areas in SSP1-2.6, and in 25 % in SSP3-7.0. By the end of the 21st century, the occurrence of permanent departures in SSP1-2.6 increases to 34 %, and in SSP3-7.0, 45 %. Our findings underscore the importance of mitigation to avoid further degrading the Earth System functions upheld by soil moisture.
Spectral Library of European Pegmatites, Pegmatite Minerals and Pegmatite Host-Rocks – The GREENPEG Project Database
Authors: Cardoso-Fernandes Joana , Santos Douglas , Rodrigues de Almeida Cátia , Lima Alexandre , Teodoro Ana C. ,   the GREENPEG project team
Published: November 2022

Abstract. The GREENPEG spectral database contains the spectral signature, obtained through reflectance spectroscopy studies, of European pegmatites and minerals, as well as their host rocks. Samples include Nb-Y-F (NYF) and Li-Cs-Ta (LCT)-type pegmatites and host rocks from pegmatite locations in Austria, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, and Spain. The database contains the reflectance spectra (raw and with continuum removed), sample photographs, and main absorption features automatically extracted by a self-proposed Python routine. Whenever possible, spectral mineralogy was interpreted based on the continuum-removed spectra. A detailed description of the database, its content and structure, the measuring instrument, and interoperability with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is available in this database report. Moreover, examples of how the data can be used and interpreted are also provided. The advantages and added value of the presented dataset reside on its European scale with representative samples from pegmatites with distinct genesis, mineralogy, structure, and host rocks that can be used as a reference for pegmatite exploration at a global scale through satellite image processing, for example. The reported spectral mineral assemblages can also be of interest when considering resource estimation or ore processing. Thus, it is expected that this open dataset, available on the Zenodo platform https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6518319 (Cardoso-Fernandes et al., 2022), will be a reference for distinct types of users ranging from academia to industry.

Controls on managed aquifer recharge through a heterogeneous vadose zone: hydrologic modeling at a site characterized with surface geophysics
Authors: Perzan Zach , Osterman Gordon , Maher Kate
Published: November 2022

Abstract. In water-stressed regions of the world, managed aquifer recharge (MAR), the process of intentionally recharging depleted aquifers, is an essential tool for combating groundwater depletion. Many groundwater-dependant regions, including the Central Valley in California, USA, are underlain by deep vadose zones (ca. 10 to 40 meters thick), nested within complex valley-fill deposits that can hinder or facilitate recharge. Within the saturated zone, interconnected deposits of coarse-grained material (sands and gravel) can act as preferential recharge pathways, while fine-textured facies (silts and clays) accommodate the majority of the long-term increase in aquifer storage. However, this relationship is more complex within the vadose zone. Coarse facies can act as capillary barriers that restrict flow and contrasts in matric potential draw water from coarse-grained flowpaths into fine-grained, low permeability zones. To determine the impact of unsaturated zone stratigraphic heterogeneity on MAR effectiveness, we simulate recharge at a Central Valley almond orchard surveyed with a towed transient electromagnetic system. First, we identified three outcomes of interest for MAR sites: infiltration rate at the surface, residence time of water in the root zone and saturated zone recharge efficiency, which is defined as the increase in saturated zone storage induced by MAR. Next, we developed a geostatistical approach for parameterizing a 3D variably saturated groundwater flow model using geophysical data. We use the resulting workflow to evaluate the three outcomes of interest and perform Monte Carlo simulations to quantify their uncertainty as a function of model input parameters and spatial uncertainty. Model results show that coarse-grained facies accommodate rapid infiltration rates and that contiguous blocks of fine-grained sediments within the root zone are >20 % likely to remain saturated longer than almond trees can tolerate. Simulations also reveal that capillary-driven flow draws recharge water into unsaturated, fine-grained sediments, limiting saturated zone recharge efficiency. Two years after inundation, fine-grained facies within the vadose zone retain an average of 37 % of recharge water across all simulations, where it is inaccessible to either plants or pumping wells. Global sensitivity analyses demonstrate that each outcome of interest is most sensitive to parameters that describe the fine facies, implying that future work to reduce MAR uncertainty should focus on characterizing fine-grained sediments.

Abstract. Urbanization and climate change are critical
challenges in the 21st century. Flooding by extreme weather events and
human activities can lead to catastrophic impacts in fast-urbanizing areas.
However, high uncertainty in climate change and future urban growth limit
the ability of cities to adapt to flood risk. This study presents a
multi-scenario risk assessment method that couples a future land use
simulation (FLUS) model and floodplain inundation model (LISFLOOD-FP) to
simulate and evaluate the impacts of future urban growth scenarios with
flooding under climate change (two representative concentration pathways
(RCP2.6 and RCP8.5)). By taking the coastal city of Shanghai as an example, we
then quantify the role of urban planning policies in future urban
development to compare urban development under multiple policy scenarios
(business as usual, growth as planned, growth as eco-constraints).
Geospatial databases related to anthropogenic flood protection facilities,
land subsidence and storm surge are developed and used as inputs to the
LISFLOOD-FP model to estimate flood risk under various urbanization and
climate change scenarios. The results show that urban growth under the three
scenario models manifests significant differences in expansion trajectories,
influenced by key factors such as infrastructure development and policy
constraints. Comparing the urban inundation results for the RCP2.6 and
RCP8.5 scenarios, the urban inundation area under the growth-as-eco-constraints scenario is less than that under the business-as-usual
scenario but more than that under the growth-as-planned scenario. We also
find that urbanization tends to expand more towards flood-prone areas under
the restriction of ecological environment protection. The increasing flood
risk information determined by model simulations helps us to understand the
spatial distribution of future flood-prone urban areas and promote the
re-formulation of urban planning in high-risk locations.

'Mediation’ as an Alternative Dispute Settlement Mechanism under the Consumer Protection Act 2019: An Analysis
Authors:   Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Taak Sangeeta
Published: November 2022

“Mediation as an Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism has been introduced which aims at giving legislative basis to resolution of consumer disputes through mediation thus making the process less cumbersome, simple and quicker. This is being done under the aegis of the consumer courts.” The Mediation is a not a new concept in the field of law. Mediation as a method of dispute resolution can be traced to the ancient times as well. Also, in Pre-British India, mediation was popular among businessmen. However, in the modern era, it is a need of hour as the pendency of cases at the National, State and District Commission are 22170, 113165 and 499406 respectively. The paper includes the advantages of mediation and how it can be helpful or the consumer commission and consumers both to solve the dispute in less time and lower cost. This paper is an attempt to make the consumers and academician and students aware about the consumer right activists so that they may be in a position to help and support common people who are interested to know how mediation works in settlement of consumer disputes.

Authors:   Christ School of Law, Suresh Sawmya , Nair Jayadevan ,   Christ School of Law
Published: November 2022

India is a developing nation, which had shown both progress and decline in economy over the years. Intellectual property rights are considered as an important asset of a nation. National legislations are made in par with the international conventions and treaties, more concentration on the industry and investments are needed for the development of the nation. Patent legislations changed on basis of the national and international needs. The monopoly right granted for an invention is on the basis of their intellectual skill. Patent dispute settlement mechanisms are mainly patent office through controller of patent, District Court & High Court and the patent tribunals. Patent is granted for 20years in India. The patent holder can utilize the same within this short span of time. Hence all the patent holders and the public challenging the validity of the patent, expect a speedy justice in patent disputes. This research paper addresses the question as to whether subject matters that can be referred for arbitration can be limited on grounds of public policy. Further the paper will address the issues as to whether arbitration can be effective mechanism for settling patent disputes in India.

Everyday objects as living things: The application of Transactional Analysis to understand and design product-person relationships
Authors:   , Sepahpour Ghazaleh
Published: November 2022

This research investigated the application of Transactional Analysis (TA) in the Design field. As a theory about interpersonal relationships to understand relationships between people and products, the use of TA in Design led to identifying the main factors influencing people’s relationships with the objects, which are products’ function, facilitation, perceived performance, and evoked emotions. The findings of co-discovery and interview sessions resulted in a framework that can help designers to design products that support enhanced user-product relationships through understanding personality of products and the emotions they evoke. E.g., applying “helpful” and “efficient” personalities to products’ function creates positive emotions.
