Three new species of Amblyrhethus (Orthoptera, Grylloidea, Gryllidae, Paroecanthini) from Brazil
Authors: Campos Lucas Denadai de , de Mello Francisco de Assis Ganeo
Published: August 2022

AmblyrhethusKirby, 1906 is a genus of arboreal, undergrowth, and shrub crickets comprising, at present, seven species: one from Panama, one from Peru, two from Colombia, two from Brazil, and one with an unprecise locality. These crickets are seldom found in regular active collecting at night, although males produce a rather loud calling song. Unfortunately, their songs have never been recorded, and there is no ecological information for this genus so far. Here, we describe three new species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
Hopf bifurcation of the age-structured SIRS model with the varying population sizes
Authors: Cao Hui , Han Mengmeng , Bai Yunxiao , Zhang Suxia
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of the varying population sizes on the dynamic behavior of the age-structured epidemic model. A age-structured SIRS epidemic model with the varying population sizes is established and investigated to take into account time delay. The non-negativity of the solution, the existence and stability of the steady states, and the existence of the Hopf bifurcation are discussed. The numerical simulations show that the varying population sizes can cause the age-structured SIRS model to produce multiple stability switches.

Published: August 2022

The innovative use of technologies in language learning and teaching significantly impacts language education. This paper aims to investigate technology-enhanced language learning (TeLL) and teaching (TeLT) in higher education through surveying 223 students and 93 teachers across four Hong Kong universities, and interviewing around 50 students and 20 teachers. The current study investigated the e-resources/tools frequently adopted in language learning and teaching, how participants perceived the affordances of TeLL and TeLT, and challenges they had faced in technology-enhanced language learning and teaching. The results reveal that students and teachers perceived several affordances of TeLL and TeLT, such as provision of authentic materials, enhancement of interactivity, and enhancement of learner autonomy. A list of commonly adopted e-resources/tools for language learning and teaching were identified. The students and teachers also indicated what support they would hope to receive from a Community of Practice (CoP) on technology-enhanced language learning and teaching.

Authors: Li Depeng , Hou Renyong , Yan Qing
Published: August 2022

With the advent of the era of knowledge economy, knowledge resources have gradually become the core resources for industrial development. For advanced manufacturing, strengthening the knowledge sharing between enterprises has become a key factor of the industry to maintain their core competitiveness. Based on the perspective of knowledge sharing, this study constructs an evolutionary game model among advanced manufacturing enterprises and analyzes the dynamic evolution process of enterprises. The result shows that knowledge spillover effects, excess return distribution, knowledge costs, hidden income, and punishment mechanisms are the main factors influencing the choice of evolutionary strategies for knowledge sharing among enterprises. Based on the analysis results, the study gives some suggestions to encourage advanced manufacturing companies to choose knowledge sharing strategies, to promote the rapid development of advanced manufacturing.

Ceylon as an Exotic Escape in James Joyce’s Ulysses
Authors: Sathsarani R.
Published: August 2022

James Joyce’s Ulysses has been recognized as a literary masterpiece and has been interpreted in terms of many aspects. Being a quintessential Modernist novel, the novel brings out several post-colonial themes and concerns. Joyce writes about Ceylon in the episode “Lotus- Eaters” and his viewpoint is different from that of the common English perspective of his era. Many critics have interpreted this episode in terms of materialism and the colonial quest of acquiring resources and some critics have recognized the exotic Ceylonese symbols to be connected with psychology and sexuality. A new interpretation of this episode can shine a light on Joyce’s unique narrative techniques and his ability to transcend perspective. Therefore, this study would consider Joyce’s perception of Ceylon in terms of exoticism as presented by Victor Segalan in Essays on Exoticism and Edward Said in Culture and Imperialism while exploring how Joyce attempts to radically challenge the Western view of the Far East which was solely based on the acquisition of resources and financial gain.
China-Sri Lanka Economic Relations: Opportunities and Challenges for Sri Lanka
Authors: Uluwaduge Pradeep
Published: August 2022

This study intends to analyse the growing economic relations between China and Sri Lanka focusing on opportunities and challenges for Sri Lanka. The study used qualitative and quantitative research methods for the subsequent analysis. Descriptive statistical techniques were used to analyse the quantitative data, and critical discourse analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. The data was presented using texts, tables and figures. The study found that Sri Lanka has gained many opportunities due to close economic relations with China. Sri Lanka is an important location in China’s Maritime Silk Road initiative and China’s string of pearls concept provided lots of economic benefits for Sri Lanka. China become a significant export market, source of foreign direct investment, source of low-cost imports for Sri Lanka, vast infrastructure development of the country and source of the tourism industry in Sri Lanka. China also became a key source of military and diplomatic support for Sri Lanka when needed. Sri Lanka’s economic relations with China present both opportunities as well as challenges. China’s involvement in Sri Lanka has become a possible challenge for Sri Lanka to tackle with big brother India. As well, negative trade balance, huge debts and low investment returns also can be considered as the major challenging areas in which Sri Lanka faced economic relations with China.
Country-led monitoring and evaluation systems through the lens of participatory governance and co-production: Implications for a Made in Africa Evaluation approach
Authors: Morkel Candice , Sibanda Adeline
Published: August 2022

Background: The history of evaluations on the African continent can be linked to the introduction of upward systems of accountability resulting from the rapid introduction of international aid programmes for the (re)building of African states during the post-independence era. Results-based management and monitoring and evaluation (ME) became commonplace, the features of which continue to imbue national ME systems across the continent. These systems, if not intentionally so designed and implemented, are not particularly focused on learning for course-correction and performance improvement from the perspective of citizens. Conducting evaluations, in particular, is often based on the need for accountability to funders or decision-makers, as opposed to downward accountability to the public and intended beneficiaries of the interventions.Objectives: This article explores how localised approaches to governance (merged with co-production) could ensure that evaluation systems are liberatory if they are endogenous and indigenous in their design and respond to the needs of citizens (rather than serving an upward accountability agenda).Method: Through the analytical framework of participatory governance and co-production, this article examines how participatory approaches to establishing national evaluation (and monitoring) systems may help the African continent liberate itself from the instrumental adoption of ME systems, defined by compliance and accountability, and instead design systems based on a citizen-owned, people-centred notion of downward accountability.Results: Participatory governance and co-production are well aligned to the principles of MAE (Made in Africa Evaluation) and may provide the means to arriving at more inclusive forms of ME systems development and, concomitantly, more inclusive ways of producing and using evidence for policy, governance and development on a national scale.Conclusion: Although desirable due its potential to transform systems of governance to become more citizen-centred, co-production must not be romanticised nor over-simplified. Increasing levels of citizen participation in governance must consider that there are significant changes that need to be made to institutional structures and processes, such as new forms of accountability, governance, systems and structures for citizen involvement. Therefore, a combination of practical, technical, ideological, relational and political factors must be considered in the adoption of more participatory approaches in establishing national ME systems.
‘Ecological justice’: Towards an integrative concept of the protection of creation
Authors: Jähnichen Traugott
Published: August 2022

This article submits a proposal to replace the term sustainability with the term ‘ecological justice’. This novel expression adds to the term Anthropocene, which largely ignores the significant differences from the perspective of justice concerning which human cultures have profoundly reshaped the Earth. Ecological justice refers to the fact that the Earth is the habitat not only of human beings but also of a multitude of other life forms and includes the rights of nonhuman creatures. Over and above this, the term ecological justice speaks to the rights of marginalised people who suffer because of the destruction of natural resources without having significantly contributed to their misuse. In this sense, a new orientation toward the integrity of creation is necessary to overcome the one-sided technicist and economically determined attitude that has become so typical of modern thinking in the Global North. Churches are challenged to develop an integrative concept of ecological justice from the perspective of the biblical tradition, including recent initiatives such as the ‘Wuppertal Call’.Contribution: To overcome generalising and anthropocentric perspectives, the proposal of this article argues for the preferred term, ‘ecological justice’. This term is inclusive to nonhuman communities in nature, taking into account the effects of environmental destruction on marginalised people. The challenge should be to develop an integrative and unifying concept of ecological justice. The following contribution addresses the question of semantics concerning the key concepts underpinning ecological challenges.
Woman at Point Zero and Uncle Vampire: A cross-cultural investigation of father-daughter incest in the light of feminist psychoanalysis
Authors: Atiyat Reem B. , Sarayreh Khaled , Rimawi Sameer
Published: August 2022

This article aims at presenting a cross-cultural examination of uncle-niece incest through the theoretical scope of feminist psychoanalysis in literary studies. The paper is thus centered on two novels: Woman at Point Zero (1975) by Nawal El Saadawi and Uncle Vampire (1993) by Cynthia Grant. The main contribution in this article is to highlight the cultural differences found in eastern and western literary studies in relation to escaping or ending incest. The cultural differences are addressed in relation to parental assistance and institutional assistance. The article is thus structured around the exploration of two main research questions: ‘What is the role of parents in helping a victim of uncle-niece incest to end her abusive experience?’ and ‘what is the role of official institutions in assisting a victim of uncle-niece incest to terminate her abusive experience?’. A central concern to the researcher in this article is to voice the victims’ ‘particular’ struggle and efforts to escape the incestuous relationship in which she is trapped.

Digital health and self-management of chronic diseases in sub-Saharan Africa: A scoping review
Authors: Achieng Mourine S. , Ogundaini Oluwamayowa O.
Published: August 2022

Background: With the rise of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the concept of digital self-management presents great opportunities for relieving some of the burdens healthcare systems face. However, for this to be realised, effective use of digital health in self-management and assessment is essential.Objective: The objective of this scoping review was to identify social determinants and cognitive factors with potential influence on digital health use in self-management of chronic medical conditions associated with NCDs in SSA.Method: The 5-stage scoping review framework was used to search, identify, and filter publications over a 10-year period from two major databases, Google Scholar and Pubmed. Based on the inclusion criteria, a total of 12 documents were chosen for analysis.Results: Findings reveal that social determinants such as cultural values and societal practices demand a rethinking of how digital health for self-management of chronic diseases are designed and developed for use in SSA, whereas a cognitive factor such as self-efficacy is central in digital health use in self-management of chronic conditions, particularly in areas like adherence to medication, diet and exercise programmes.Conclusion: Owing to the unique characteristics of digital health users in SSA, technologies and content (particularly those for self-management of chronic diseases) should be tailored to the diverse needs of the population. It is through this that the region can fully benefit from the potential of digital health use in self-management of chronic diseases associated with NCDs.

Published: August 2022

Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by nonscarring hair loss. Alopecia universalis (AU) is the advanced form of AA characterized by complete scalp and body hair loss. Traditional medical therapies for AA include topical and intralesional corticosteroids, topical anthralin immunotherapy, and light therapy. Tofacitinib is a Janus kinase-1 and 3 inhibitor used in the treatment of AA. In this report, we describe a 20-year-old female with AU refractory to topical therapies; thus, she was started on tofacitinib. Mild peripheral neuropathy was an unanticipated side effect that could be kept into consideration.

Ocular Morbidity Among Children with Protein Energy Malnutrition in Northwest Nigeria
Authors: Zubairu Asimau Eivovo , Oladigbolu Kehinde Kabir , Samaila Elsie , Elijah Peter Ndako
Published: August 2022

Background:

Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) remains a major health challenge in Nigeria, especially Northern Nigeria. Its association with ocular morbidity and irreversible blindness has been previously documented. There are however limited recent literature on these ocular manifestations, which may have evolved over the years. This study is thus relevant to establish a current baseline for the ocular manifestations associated with PEM in Northern Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

This was a comparative, cross-sectional study. The sample size was 400 children; 200 with PEM, and 200 without PEM. Consenting parents with children between 6 – 59 months of age diagnosed with PEM, and those without PEM were recruited. Sociodemographic characteristics, general and ocular history were documented. A detailed ocular examination which included visual acuity assessment, examination of ocular adnexae, as well as the anterior and posterior segment of the eyes were done. Data was collected in a structured proforma, and analysed with the SPSS version 21, and Windows WinPepi softwares.

Results:

Abnormal ocular findings were significantly higher in the PEM group compared to the non-malnourished group [46.5% vs 24%, OR = 2.910 (1.891, 4.477), p = < 0.001]. The predominant ocular examination findings in the PEM and non-malnourished groups were infective conjunctivitis (35.5% vs 17%), lid oedema (11% vs 0%), signs of xerophthalmia (6% vs 0%) and visual impairment (3% vs 0%)

Conclusion:

PEM is still complicated by varying severity of ocular morbidity, with the potential of progression to irreversible blindness.

Authors: Adediran Olusegun Adetomiwa , Oluleye Tunji Sunday , Ayorinde Olutoke Omolara , Ugalahi Mary Ogbenyi , Mpyet Caleb Damilep
Published: August 2022

Background:

This survey was undertaken in a rural local government area (LGA) where eye care services recently commenced, with no known previous data on blindness or visual impairment.

Aim and Objectives:

The aim was to generate evidence for further planning and monitoring of the on-going eye care program. The objectives included determination of the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment, causes of blindness and visual impairment, and assessment of cataract services and barriers to cataract surgery uptake.

Materials and Methods:

This was a cross-sectional observational study. A population-based rapid assessment of avoidable blindness (RAAB) was undertaken among eligible individuals, aged 50 years and above, who were residents of Saki East LGA. A three-stage cluster sampling technique with probability proportional to size was employed to recruit 1100 respondents. Field data were analysed using the RAAB 5 computer software package.

Results:

The age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of blindness was 1.7% (95% confidence interval: 0.1–3.3). Cataract was the commonest cause of blindness (37.8%) and severe visual impairment (56.3%), whereas refractive error was the leading cause of moderate visual impairment (68.3%). The prevalence of blindness significantly increased with age (χ
2= 38.01, P = 0.000). Avoidable conditions were responsible for 94.6% of the blindness.

Conclusion:

The burden of blindness and visual impairment in the survey area is significant, with more than 90% due to avoidable causes. Cataract, glaucoma, and uncorrected refractive error were important causes needing urgent attention.

Published: August 2022

Background:

Schistosomiasis has been noted to be one of the most widespread parasitic diseases in the world. It is commonest in developing countries and 85% of the infections have been reported in Sub-Saharan Africa. Presentation with an appendiceal mass has been a rarity among the cases reported thus far.

Case Presentation:

We report the case of a 23-year-old man who presented with an appendiceal mass that responded to conservative treatment and had interval appendicectomy with histological confirmation of schistosomal appendicitis. He received post-operative medical therapy for schistosomiasis and had no sequelae thereafter.

Conclusion:

Appendiceal mass from schistosomal appendicitis responds to initial conservative management, followed by interval appendicectomy and post-operative anti-schistosomal medications serving as adequate treatment subsequently.
Primary vaginal gestational trophoblastic neoplasia treated with uterine angiographic embolization and chemotherapy
Authors: Cenizal-Santos Maria Concepcion D. , Chua Angelica Anne A. , Aquilizan Leon Francis N.
Published: August 2022

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) in itself is an uncommon condition, much so is a primary extrauterine GTN. The incidence of GTN in the Philippines is at 22.4/40,000 pregnancies. However, no report has been made for primary extrauterine GTN. Only two cases of primary vaginal choriocarcinoma are reported in the literature. This is a case of a 26-year-old gravida 1 para 0 (0010) who came in for profuse vaginal bleeding. Serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) was elevated and ultrasound showed a hypervascular vaginal mass and an empty uterus. A primary vaginal GTN was considered, and the patient was treated with etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin D, cyclophosphamide, and vincristine (EMACO) regimen. During the course of chemotherapy, there was a note of profuse vaginal bleeding, which was controlled by angiographic uterine artery embolization. A normal β-hCG level was achieved after six cycles of EMACO. The patient was able to have three successful pregnancy outcomes thereafter. Primary vaginal GTN is a rare condition that requires a high index of suspicion. In a nulliparous patient complicated with profuse vaginal bleeding, angiographic embolization is an effective fertility-sparing procedure that can manage the said complication.
Tropicalization of the universal Jacobian
Authors: Melo Margarida , Molcho Samouil , Ulirsch Martin , Viviani Filippo
Published: August 2022

In this article we provide a stack-theoretic framework to study the universal tropical Jacobian over the moduli space of tropical curves. We develop two approaches to the process of tropicalization of the universal compactified Jacobian over the moduli space of curves -- one from a logarithmic and the other from a non-Archimedean analytic point of view. The central result from both points of view is that the tropicalization of the universal compactified Jacobian is the universal tropical Jacobian and that the tropicalization maps in each of the two contexts are compatible with the tautological morphisms. In a sequel we will use the techniques developed here to provide explicit polyhedral models for the logarithmic Picard variety.

Strongly-Normalizing Higher-Order Relational Queries
Authors: Ricciotti Wilmer , Cheney James
Published: August 2022

Language-integrated query is a powerful programming construct allowing
database queries and ordinary program code to interoperate seamlessly and
safely. Language-integrated query techniques rely on classical results about
the nested relational calculus, stating that its queries can be algorithmically
translated to SQL, as long as their result type is a flat relation. Cooper and
others advocated higher-order nested relational calculi as a basis for
language-integrated queries in functional languages such as Links and F#.
However, the translation of higher-order relational queries to SQL relies on a
rewrite system for which no strong normalization proof has been published: a
previous proof attempt does not deal correctly with rewrite rules that
duplicate subterms. This paper fills the gap in the literature, explaining the
difficulty with a previous proof attempt, and showing how to extend the
$\top\top$-lifting approach of Lindley and Stark to accommodate duplicating
rewrites. We also show how to extend the proof to a recently-introduced
calculus for heterogeneous queries mixing set and multiset semantics.
La banalidad de la injusticia
Authors: Jerade Miriam , Marey Macarena
Published: August 2022

En este texto hacemos una lectura de las injusticias estructurales a partir de la noción de banalidad que Hannah Arendt utilizó para calificar al mal cuando estudió el comportamiento de Eichmann durante el juicio en Jerusalén en 1961. Para esto, proponemos un diálogo entre Arendt, Judith Shklar e Iris Marion Young. El artículo se divide en tres secciones. En la primera sección hacemos una breve reposición del tratamiento de la cuestión del mal en la filosofía occidental monoteísta, de la que ciertamente son herederas Arendt, Shklar y Young, y de la injusticia según estas dos últimas autoras. En la segunda proponemos un análisis de la injusticia estructural en términos de banalidad, iluminando la obra de Arendt con la de Young y Shklar y viceversa, con especial énfasis en el estudio que hizo Young sobre Arendt. Finalmente, en la última sección sostenemos que la tematización de la injusticia como a la vez banal y estructural permite percibir de manera más clara la dimensión política de nuestra responsabilidad por ella y remarcar que esta responsabilidad tiene una doble pertenencia individual y colectiva.

There are two situations where sales contract rules apply on services, i.e., certan service-related issues. The first one refers to the so-called. mixed contracts, which are consisted of both goods and services. When it comes to goods, it can be either goods that are yet to be produced or that exist in the moment of the conclusion of the contract. Consenquently, if necessary conditions are met, sales contract rules will apply to certain services. The second one refers to the situation where the legislator prescribes that the rules governing the sale of goods will be applicable to some service-related issues. In this regard, different legislative solutions have been adopted, among which Consumer Protection Act defines that the rules on legal and commercial guarantee will be applied to the services.

Party autonomy is a choice of law doctrine that permits parties to choose the law of a particular country to govern their contractual or non-contractual obligations that involves two or more jurisdictions. The influence borne by party autonomy in private international law is discernible not only in scholarly argument that explicitly favors or frets about the prioritization of private choices of law and forum. It is evident too in how private parties’ contractual choices feature in private-international-law scholarship. In both scholarship celebratory of party autonomy and scholarship anxious about its impact in

Thanks to the aspirations of Diocletian to include into his Edict on Prices the prices of all at that time known services and goods, this also included the prices for road and sea transport. It is fascinating how and to what extent the Edict describes the transport of certain types of goods, even the types of transportation means (carts). It separately describes the road transport and the sea transport services. The Edict also comprised the analysis and comparison of these two types of transportation, as well as of all other elements related to the transport of goods in ancient times. In addition, the Edict contains the prices of supporting services, such as the prices of accommodation and food in inns, bank charges related to loans needed for long trips across the sea, etc. A significant role in the transport services was played by collegiums (transporters’ association) which unified the transporters and regulated the organization of transport.

The forfeiture contract consists of the sale of long-term foreign trade receivables, in which the exporter sells its foreign trade claim to a bank or some other specialized financial institute, which is not encumbered by the possibility of recourse claims of third parties to the buyer of claims, which is secured by some of the contractual security means. In this paper, the authors analyzed both the legal nature and the economic functions of the forfeiture contract in business practice. The work is methodologically conceived on the teleological comparison of the forfeiting and other related contracts, such as factoring agreement and loan and securities contract and other receivables prior to maturity, both from the theoretical point of view and from the current legislation, domestic and at the international level, and the economic benefits of this legal transaction for the contracting parties.

An Overview of the State-of-the-art Virtual Machine Placement Algorithms for Green Cloud Data Centres
Authors: Bose Anindya , Nag Sanjay
Published: August 2022

Increased energy consumption in Cloud Data Centres (CDCs) increases the carbon footprint. Efficiency of the data centres thus needs to be improved through server consolidation using effective virtual machine (VM) placement and migration techniques and minimizing the number of active physical machines (PMs). One of the problems is how to operationally allocate the VMs to PMs. These allocations have both operational costs and energy consumption issues. To achieve the aim of ‘Green Computing’ a number of state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms have been proposed for the VM placement. The authors of this paper have provided a detailed discussion and comparison of some of the current research works on energy efficiency. and cons of each of these techniques have been discussed. Some future research prospects in this field have also been mentioned at the end.

Non-timber forest products have a lot of other terms which are more or less synonyms like „natural products, wild products”. Non-timber forest products (NTFP) represent a category of products which are provide of wild plants and animals from the forest or from any other natural vegetation types. Around the world humans harvested NTFP from the oldest time. The most common types of NTFP at global level are forest fruits, medicinal plants, fauna of hunting interest and edible mushrooms. Romania has a high potential regarding the harvesting of these types of products due to big diversity of forest and forest site conditions. The aim of this study was to highlight the most important non-timber products from Alba county. First of all was made a selection of most common non-timber products and then were realized a ranking using a set of 19 criteria. The study conclusion was that the most important NTFP from Alba county are honey and hazelnuts follow by golden Chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius) and Christmas tree.
Rainwater Infiltration Box to Prevent Flood Disaster

Flood disaster is a natural disaster that ranks the third cause of economic loss worldwide. As a tropical country that has a rainy season, every year some parts of Indonesia are prone for being affected by floods. The causative factors include high rainfall and poor surface water management, making rainwater directly converted into surface water (run-off). Efforts to reduce run-off water include making biopores infiltration wells from paralon pipe material with a diameter of 10 centimeters, but because of the small volume, the biopores cannot functioned properly, so it is necessary to build infiltration wells with a larger capacity. The purpose of this research is to make a model of infiltration wells that have a larger volume than stainless steel. This study used a pre-experimental design and is a development research of biopores infiltration wells. The stages in this research include design validation and absorption function testing. The results of the study were the design of a box-shaped absorption container with a height of 120 cm. 100 cm wide and 100 cm long, made of 304 stainless steel, with an inlet and outlet holes for rainwater, a bottom absorption area, and has a lid that is easy to open for cleaning. In the function test, it was obtained the ability to accommodate rainwater of 1.2 cubic meters and the ability to absorb water of 0.9 liters per second on the soil of the test location, so that this infiltration box is estimated to be able to accommodate rainfall of 120 mm a day. The conclusion is that this rainwater absorption container is able to accommodate rainwater while absorbing water so that it can be an alternative technology for preventing flood.

We proved theorems about creating Pythagorean Triples from generalized recursive sequences in this study. Pythagorean triples are a very old concept that has made significant progress in recent mathematical studies. Pythagorean triples can be generated using Neo balancing sequences and generalized recursive sequences, and vice-versa. For greater understanding, a general procedure is presented with appropriate illustrations.

Hypothermia is defined as a so-called central vital sign below 35°C (95°F). Impaired thermoregulation may contribute to accidental hypothermia. Hypothermia is evaluated as mild, moderate, or severe central blood warmth and clinical features ranging from shivering to progressive bradycardia, coma, and circulatory collapse. During the diagnostic evaluation, the patient's core temperature should first be determined, followed by an ECG. Additional tests evaluate comorbidities and complications. Treatment consists of rewarming and supportive care. Cardiac arrhythmias are the main common explanation for death from hypothermia.
