Possibility of that extensors respond faster than flexors for the metacarpophalangeal joints in individuals with severe-to-moderate stroke-caused impairment
Authors: Kim Dongwon , Baghi Raziyeh , Koh Kyung , Zhang Li-Qun
Published: June 2022

Damage in the corticospinal system following stroke produces imbalance between flexors and extensors in the upper extremity including the fingers, eventually leading to flexion-favored postures. The substitution of the reticospinal tract for the damaged corticospinal tract is known to excessively activate flexors of the fingers while the fingers are voluntarily being extended. Here, we questioned whether the cortical source or/and neural pathways of the flexors and extensors of the fingers are coupled and what factor of impairment influences finger movement. In this study, a total of 7 male participants with hemiplegic stroke conducted isometric flexion and extension at the MCP joints in response to auditory tones. We measured activation and de-activation delays of the flexor and extensor of the MCP joints on the paretic side, as well as, force generation and co-contraction between the flexor and extensor. All participants generated greater torque in the direction of flexion (p=0.017). Regarding co-contraction, coupled activation of the extensor is also made during flexion in the similar way to coupled activation of the flexor made during extension. As opposite to our expectation, we observed that during extension, the extensor showed marginally significantly faster activation (p=0.66) while it showed faster de-activation (p=0.038), in comparison to activation and de-activation of the flexor during flexion. But movement smoothness was not affected by those factors. Our results imply that the cortical source and neural pathway for the extensors of the MCP joints are not coupled with those for the flexors of the MCP joints and extensor weakness mainly contributes to the asymmetry between flexors and extensors.

Published: June 2022

Ficus benjamina is an ornamental plant that planted alongside the road of Pakistan to increase the beauty of country. Several insect pests are attacking on this beautiful plant, responsible in reduction of aesthetic value of country. Among insect pests, Trilocha varians is serious and destructive pest whose larvae feed on leaves resulting 100% defoliation. The study was conducted to check the life table of this emerging pest on F. benjamina under controlled conditions. The study showed that total life period of T. varians from egg to adult was 33-35 days. The highest apparent mortality was recorded in early larval instars and rapidly reduced in later instars (3rd instars) which even reached to zero from 4th larval instars to pupal stage. Age-specific survivorship (lx) of the cohort was gradually reduce in later instars. Maximum mortality at early stage may exert significant negative effect on the insect population. The management practices could be more fruitful against early instars as compared to later instars larvae.

Published: June 2022

The current exploration is being fetched out to evaluate the consequence of dairy effluent on morphological aspect and biochemical constituents in Moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia (Jacq.) Marechal). For this, experimentation work dairy effluents were amassed from the outlet of milk processing plants. The diverse concentrations used for the effluent were Control (normal water), 5, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. The growth parameters viz., shoot length (SL), roots length (RL), number of leaves (NL), total leaf area (TLA), fresh weight (FW) and dry weight (DW), and the biochemical issue like viz., chlorophyll ‘a’, chlorophyll ‘b’, total chlorophyll, carotenoid, reducing, non-reducing sugar, total sugars, starch, amino acid, and protein content were analysed and tabulated at 30th days after sowing (DAS). As stated by the investigational results obtained all the morphological strictures, biochemical elements, were establishing to enhance at 5% concentrations of dairy effluent and drop off in 50% effluent concentration. So these outcomes imitate that the dairy effluent is noxious nature to moth bean. Thus the dairy effluent is exceptionally alkaline in environment and contains gigantic amounts of suspended solids and dissolved solids consequent in soaring of BOD and COD and other enormous chemical constituents.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Over the last few decades, fertility has declined globally to unprecedented low levels. Objective: Main goal was to determine whether the micronutrient supplements have any impact on female fertility. Method: It was prospective observational study with total of 142 patients. Inclusion criteria included 12 months of failed conception. Exclusion criteria include the presence of hydrosalpinges, stage III/IV endometriosis, use of donor sperm etc. Result: For vitamins C and E, mean nutritional intake surpassed the estimated average requirement (EAR). There were no variations in antioxidant consumption across the groups. In multivariable models, women with a body mass index (BMI) of R25 kg/m2 had shorter TTP when they took vitamin B6 from dietary supplements. Vitamin C from dietary supplements was also linked to a shorter TTP among women with a BMI of less than 25 kg/m2. Conclusion: Women with a BMI of 25 kg/m2 had a shorter TTP when their vitamin C intake increased, while women with a BMIR of 25 kg/m2 had a shorter TTP when their vitamin B6 intake increased.

Objectives: the purpose of our study was to report our experience at Queen Rania Al Abdullah Hospital for Children (QRHC) in the diagnosis and management of acute appendicitis regarding the outcome, complications and hospital stay. Method: A retrospective study was carried out at QRHC by reviewing the medical records of patients who were younger than 14 years that admitted to pediatric surgical ward in the period from Jan 2019 to Jan 2020 with a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The study included 196 patients, 116 were males and 80 were females with a male to female ratio of 1.45:1. The ages of the patients ranged from 3 years to 14 years with the highest incidence between 10 -13 years. The duration of symptoms ranged from 8 hours to 1 week. The period of hospital stay ranged from 1 to 8 days with a median stay of 2 days. Results: all patients underwent appendectomy, 120 via open approach and 76 by laparoscopy with only 1.53% conversion rate to open (3 cases). 110 cases (56.1%) were non complicated appendicitis while the remaining 86 cases (43.9%) were complicated (perforated appendix), of those 20 cases were less than 5 years old. The rate of negative appendectomy (histopathological normal appendix) was 11.2% (22 cases). Fever was presented in 60 cases (30.6%) and leukocytosis was presented in 130 cases (66.3%).U/S was suggestive of acute appendicitis in 108 patients (55.1%) while the appendix was not visualized in the remaining 88 patients.

Published: June 2022

The nasolabial flap is an ideal flap for nasal reconstruction, especially the alar subunit as the colour and texture are similar to the nose. The flap is soft, pliable and has a convexity that matches well with that of the ala. The nasolabial flap is designed so that the cheek scar is hidden within the nasolabial crease. Here, we describe the use of a nasolabial flap for a post excisional defect of a basal cell carcinoma in an elderly female.

Introduction: Renal stone disease is a challenging problem in urological practice because of large stone burden and high rate of recurrence. The primary goal of surgical stone management is to achieve maximum stone clearance with minimum morbidity to the patients. There are lot of uncertainty with renal stone management, many factors impact on management course, stone up to 10 mm can be pass on their own, roughly, the chance of a stone passing spontaneously is inversely to the size in millimeters. A 1mm stone passes 90% of the time, a 5 mm stone 50% of time, a 9 mm stone 10% of the time and so on. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of stone clearance of supracostal and infracostal approaches and to identify the complications of two groups. Methods: This Quasi experimental study was carried out in the Department of Urology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Bangladesh Medical College Hospital, Popular Medical College and Hospital; and Barakah Kidney Hospital & Research Institute, Dhaka, during the period of February 2011 to January 2013, to compare the safety and efficacy between supracostal and infracostal upper pole approaches for PCNL. Results: Stone clearance was 94.29% in group I and 85.7% in group II, which was higher in group I but not statiscally significant (P>0.05). Hundred percent stone clearances were observed in patients who had stone size upto 3 cm in group I and 88.23% in group II. In patients who had stone size >3 cm the stone clearance was 89.4 % in group I and 83.33 % group II. Complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy were found in 20.0% in group I and 22.9% in group II. Conclusion: In conclusion we can say that supracostal approach in a single session percutaneous nephrolithotomy is not safe and effective then infracostal approach.

Introduction: Uterine rupture is one of the main causes of maternal and fetal mortality in Mali. Method: This was a descriptive cross-sectional prospective study in the Gynecology - Obstetrics department of the Sikasso hospital from January 01, 2018 to June 30, 2019, i.e. eighteen months. The study covered all cases of childbirth recorded in the Gynecology - Obstetrics Department of Sikasso Hospital during the study period. Results: During these 18 months of study, we recorded 68 cases of uterine rupture out of a total of 4,815 deliveries, ie a frequency of 1.41%. Regarding the mode of admission, 93% were evacuated against 7% who came on their own. For the evacuated patients, 82.4% arrived by ambulance against 13.2% by personal car and 4.4% by public transport. The duration of labor was ≥ 12 hours in 22.1% of cases. Lesions were associated with rupture in 19.1% of cases. The use of uterotonics was responsible for uterine rupture in 54.4% of cases and 7.4% of patients had a generally narrowed pelvis. Simple hysterorrhaphy was performed in 30%, hysterorrhaphy associated with tubal ligation resection in 50% and subtotal hysterectomy in 20% of cases. Lack of schooling, the lack and poor quality of prenatal care have been factors that increase maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The maternal-fetal prognosis was poor with 11.7% maternal deaths and 86.8% perinatal deaths. Conclusion: Better screening of populations at risk, quality ANC, early diagnosis and rapid and adequate management will improve the maternal-fetal prognosis.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: The contour of artificial crowns has and continues to be highly controversial. Much of the controversy centers on whether the gingival sulcus is really in need of protection from buccal and/or lingual convexities, or whether a flatter emergence profile affords "self-cleansing" muscle action. Evidence is reviewed in this part which suggests that over-contoured crown is probably more detrimental to gingival health than under-contoured crown. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of modified crown contour (over-contoured and under-contoured) on periodontal health. Methods: This study was conducted in the department of Prosthodontics, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh for the duration of one and half year to find out the successful artificial crown contour that is harmonious with the periodontium. Selected mandibular molar teeth were prepared for full veneer crown. 50 patients (Group-A) whose full veneer crown was fabricated with under-contouring form and another 50 patients (Group-B) whose full veneer crown was fabricated with over-contouring form and cemented on respected teeth. Clinical examination and evaluation were done after three (3) weeks, six (6) weeks, three (3) months, and six (6) months of post prosthesis follow up period. Data were collected on the basis of following parameters like gingival index, periodontal index, periodontal pocket depth, and gingival recession in a predesign data collection sheet. Statistical analysis (Chi- Square Test and unpaired t-test) was done to find out the significance value (P<0.05). Results: It is observed that the result was highly significant (p<.001) between two groups regarding Gingival index and Periodontal index but not significantly difference regarding Periodontal pocket depth or Gingival recession. Conclusion: This study revealed that under-contoured restoration does not produce any significant changes in the health of gingiva but over-.......

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment outcome of Twin Block functional appliance and to determine the skeletodental, soft tissue and TMJ changes concurrent with the treatment. Ten subjects 5 males and 5 females with age ranged from 9 to 11 years were used in this study. All the cases showed Angle's Class II division 1 malocclusion due to mandibular retrusion. For each case out of the ten, lateral Cephalometric x-ray, right and left tomographic X-ray were done before and after treatment. On the base of the data obtained from this study both skeletodental and soft tissue improvement were detected after treatment. Also a significant reduction of the posterior joint space with significant increase of the condylar head thickness was seen. These outcomes make the appliance very effective in cases with retrognathic mandible, orthognathic maxilla and normal incisors inclination.
Diversity Management for Competitive Advantage: A Multigenerational Perspective during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Mwondela Mujing’a D.
Published: June 2022

This paper is an examination of generational diversity in the workplace and how organisations can leverage the benefits of these differences during the Covid -19 pandemic to build resilient teams for sustainable competitive advantage. The salient points are that multigenerational differences do exist and if managers overly emphasize them they tend to negatively affect the workplace compared to when the differences are highlighted for team motivation and building reasons. Due to the effects of the Pandemic on the workplace, most notable - the working from home arrangements, social distancing, etc., organisations now need managers who can build crisis resilient teams by blending the likely generational traits through team work, team building activities for improved employee engagement and communication, and last by not the least, match employee rewards with employee expectations during the Pandemic.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) experience various problems after being diagnosed with HIV, both physically and psychosocially. These problems cause PLWHA to close themselves so that they are not known to others because they feel stigmatised. This problem can cause PLWHA to continue stigmatising themselves and transmit HIV again to their partners or other people. This study aimed to develop a Karo culture-sensitive spiritual intervention model to prevent HIV stigma. Methods: Developing an intervention using the PATH (Problem – Analysis – Test – Help) method proposed by Buunk and Vugt (2008). Result: This model was developed based on cultural care theory and input from experts. Before the model development, the researcher had conducted preliminary studies both in qualitative and quantitative studies. The qualitative research established 14 themes, while the multivariant analysis found religiosity prevent HIV prevention dominantly. Conclusion: Developing a Karo culture-sensitive spiritual intervention model produces models, modules and pocketbooks in Karo culture-sensitive spiritual intervention to prevent HIV stigma.

Authors: Suhaimi Ahmad
Published: June 2022

This study aims to determine the diversity of food consumption and its relationship with the incidence of stunting in children under five in the lowlands of South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The research location is in Batang Alai Selatan District, Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency. This research is an associative type of research using primary and secondary data sourced from respondents, and BPS Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency. The diversity of food consumption in stunting toddlers was first carried out with a 24-hour food recall and analyzed using the Expected Food Pattern (PPH) approach. The relationship between the diversity of food consumption and the incidence of stunting in children under five was carried out by Chi Square analysis. The results showed that the PPH score for the diversity of food consumption under five reached 76.44, indicating that the criteria were less diverse because it was still dominated by the grain food group (52.8%) and animal food (38.3%). The results of the Chi Square analysis show that the diversity of food consumption with the incidence of stunting in children under five in the study area has an Asymp value. Sig. (2-sided) 0.000 < 0.05, and the calculated Chi Square value is 20.17 > Chi Square table 3.841, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between the diversity of food consumption and the incidence of stunting in children under five.
A melancolia da esquerda resignada
Authors: Cardoso Ferreira Luan
Published: June 2022

Apresentamos um diagnóstico, sugerido pela cientista política Jodi Dean, segundo o qual a categoria psicanalítica de “melancolia” pode ser usada para interpretar a resignação de determinados segmentos da esquerda assujeitados ao capitalismo ocidental. Então, o assumimos como referência de análise para ensaiar, em associação ao campo da economia política, uma interpretação histórica de três momentos da recente trajetória da luta de classes — a ascensão do Estado de bem-estar no pósguerra, sua queda e o programa neoliberal de austeridade —, refletindo sobre os lugares que certa esquerda veio ocupando ao longo dos mesmos. Guiamo-nos pela hipótese segundo a qual as posições de “reformismo” socialdemocrata e de “neoliberalismo de esquerda” sejam exemplos de resignação, em graus variados, à estrutura capitalista e à ideologia dominante. Nosso objetivo é refletir sobre desafios para a assunção de uma concepção de mundo revolucionária na política, introduzindo o conceito psicanalítico de melancolia como uma referência teórica relevante para análises nesta temática — debate que também se situa no campo da subjetivação política.
Kinetic energy of tidal currents in the province of Chubut, Argentina
Authors: Lifschitz Ana Julia , Coiro Domenico , Troise Giancarlo , Giaquinta Horacio , Lazcano Fabio , De Cristofaro Norma
Published: June 2022

This work is a preliminary study to find some sites for the potential use of tidal stream energy and their associated currents in the Chubut coast.  In addition, an evaluation of the energy resource of the Chubut Gulfs is made. The possibility of energetic utilization of the tides is achieved by transforming the displacement movement into a rotation movement by means of a hydrokinetic turbine. The energy can be extracted analogously to that of wind energy; therefore, it is not necessary to build a dam, avoiding the environmental and economic disadvantages it represents. Even though the results presented in this paper have significantly improved our understanding of tidal dynamics in this region, the collection of more observations, particularly in the interior and at the mouths of the Gulfs, is necessary to develop and fully shape tidal potential into power generation in the region.
Wave resource spatial and temporal variability dependence on WEC size
Authors: Robertson Bryson , Dunkle Gabrielle , Mundon Tim , Kilcher Levi
Published: June 2022

As the wave energy sector grows and looks to the Blue Economy for commercialization opportunities, there is a distinct and pressing need to clearly understand and quantify the coupled impacts of wave energy converter (WEC) size and wave resource characteristics on the annual energy production, spatial variability and temporal variability. Utilizing generic frequency domain representations of the Oscilla Power Triton WEC and spectral wave conditions at PacWave (Oregon), Los Angeles (California) and WETS (Hawaii), a series of interesting results emerge. Firstly, the ‘optimal’ WEC size, from an energy standpoint, is fundamentally dependent on the frequency distribution of the incoming wave variance density spectrum. Secondly, and from a seasonality perspective, the seasonal WEC energy generation doesn’t necessarily follow the seasonal distribution of gross wave power. Finally, from an hourly power variability perspective, a reduction in WEC size generally decreases variability. However, for each of the locations investigated, there appears to be a WEC size threshold; a threshold where further reducing WEC size results in increased power variability.

A computational procedure for the hydrodynamicanalysis and design of horizontal-axis tidal turbinesis presented and numerical applications are discussed. Themethodology combines an original design algorithm and aturbine hydrodynamics model valid for arbitrary 3D flows.Different from standard design methods based on bladeelement models, 3D-flow corrections are not necessary.Blade geometry parameters are determined with the objectiveto maximize power at given design Tip Speed Ratio(TSR), whereas a constraint is introduced in order to limitturbine thrust at TSR higher than the design condition.Numerical applications include the design of a laboratoryscaleturbine and a full-scale turbine for the exploitationof tidal streams in the Messina strait. Alternative designsolutions obtained by varying the design TSR are comparedin terms of energy output as well as mechanical loadstransferred to the powertrain.
Sensitivity analysis of extreme loads acting on a point-absorbing wave energy converter
Authors: Eskilsson Claes , Palm Johannes , Johannesson Pär , Paredes Guilherme Moura
Published: June 2022

There are many uncertainties associated with the estimation of extreme loads acting on a wave energy converter (WEC). In this study we perform a sensitivity analysis of extreme loads acting on the Uppsala University (UU) WEC concept. The UU WEC consists of a bottom-mounted linear generator that is connected to a surface buoy with a taut mooring line. The maximum stroke length of the linear generator is enforced by end-stop springs. Initially, a Variation Mode and Effect Analysis (VMEA) was carried out in order to identify the largest input uncertainties. The system was then modelled in the time-domain solver WEC-SIM coupled to the dynamic mooring solver Moody. A sensitivity analysis was made by generating a surrogate model based on polynomial chaos expansions, which rapidly evaluates the maximum loads on the mooring line and the end-stops. The sensitivities are ranked using the Sobol index method. We investigated two sea states using equivalent regular waves (ERW) and irregular wave (IRW) trains. We found that the ERW approach significantly underestimate the maximum loads. Interestingly, the ERW predicted wave height and period as the most important parameters for the maximum mooring tension, whereas the tension in IRW was most sensitive to the drag coefficient of the surface buoy. The end-stop loads were most sensitive to the PTO damping coefficient.
LITERATURE REVIEW : EFEKTIVITAS ART THERAPY UNTUK MENINGKATKAN SELF-COMPASSION PADA ORANG DENGAN HIV/AIDS
Authors: Madidar Sophie Maylinda
Published: June 2022

In dealing with the level of self-compassion in ODHA and how effective Art Therapy is in increasing self-love in good or bad conditions, is the formulation of the problem that is used as the basis for this literature review. HIV is a dangerous threat to human health starting from physical health, social conditions, and psychological conditions. This can cause low self-compassion in some people. This can be observed through negative behaviors that are carried out on himself. Compassion is very important in human life, because compassion can be a supporting element of one's well-being. Art Therapy is a therapy that is said to be effective in dealing with psychological problems, can increase the level of individual self-quality and also has the potential to increase self-compassion. So what are the steps taken to assess the effectiveness of Art Therapy in an effort to increase self-compassion in ODHA. Self-compassion can be measured by the Self Compassion Scale (SCS). The method used in this literature study is using existing research to analyze and find answers to the previous problem formulation. It can be seen that previous researchers have proven the effectiveness of Art Therapy in an effort to increase the level of self-compassion in people with HIV/AIDS (ODHA).

The high demand for construction materials and building products, particularly aggregates, necessitates the development of innovative as the natural aggregate resource depletes. Lightweight aggregates are one of the alternatives has meet industry demand with low apparent density, excellent thermal insulation property and fire protection. Unfortunately, lightweight aggregate has a high-water absorption rate, which results in low strength and high porosity. These conditions had a negative impact on the qualities of fresh concrete, such as strength, slump, and cracking. Surface coating is thought to be a good way to prevent water absorption by lightweight particles, which lowers the concrete's performance. To reinforce the concrete, inorganic polymer composite material and cement were commonly employed to coat lightweight particles. The article presents a review on current issues facing by lightweight aggregate, mix proportion of geopolymer coating (aluminosilicate raw materials, alkaline activator ratio) and coating method (milling and dipping). This review has highlighted performance of lightweight aggregate for concrete application can be enhanced by approaching geopolymer coating as surface coating.

Welding aluminum is very important in engineering, particularly in the aircraft and automobile industries. Its recommended properties such as thermal conductivity which is a high value, the coefficient of thermal expansion which also has a high value, hydrogen high solubility, oxide coating e.g., High strength-to-weight ratio, electrical conductivity, and all these properties have a high ratio for aluminum alloys. On the other side, aluminum has some properties that affect its mechanical behavior, for example, surface finish, tear resistance, mechanical strength, and thermal resistance. Therefore, adding rare materials with specific amounts in the casting process before the solidification is a powerful technique used to enhance these characteristics by adding these rare materials that are useful for affecting the welding properties and defects problems. Al-Ti is commercially available with Al-15% Ti. This paper investigates the effect of Molybdenum, Mo, in addition to pure aluminum which is commercially available and refined by Titanium and Boron on its weldability.

Published: June 2022

The world is now building an artificial intelligence (AI) water quality management system to detect water quality accidents at an early stage and predict water quality vulnerable areas in advance beyond measuring the water quality. In other words, by applying big data analysis and artificial intelligence technology to the conventional water quality measurement system that monitors water quality in real time, an artificial intelligence-based water quality measurement and water quality prediction system is built at the same time, and drones and unmanned ships are also introduced. It means implementing water quality management. Water quality accident prediction based on artificial intelligence measures water quality throughout the site of use through intelligent spatial analysis based on the integrated water quality database. On the other hand, the location of the site detected through artificial intelligence is displayed on the comprehensive monitoring screen, and special management such as on-site monitoring, replacement of consumables, and maintenance is carried out to prevent water quality accidents. In particular, the prediction accuracy of artificial intelligence is to create an algorithm for predicting future values by learning the characteristics and patterns of accumulated data. It depends on the function of the smart sensor itself. However, until now, there has been no international standard for smart sensors, so it was difficult to establish system interlocking or modularization for each manufacturer and site. Therefore, we present the most important standard communication standards for smart water quality sensors in the field and international standard performance specifications for smart sensors, and this research data is provided to all organizations engaged in water quality around the world for water quality measurement and prediction system data system for AI application.
