Published: September 2022

Carbon dioxide emissions contribute to environmental deterioration, so this factor is cause for concern. This study aims to determine how economic growth, industrial value added, and population affect carbon dioxide emissions in the ASEAN region. This study's sample consists of the five ASEAN nations with the highest carbon emission growth rates. Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and Vietnam were selected as sample countries for the period 2000 to 2018. The research data consists of panel data, which is a combination of time series and cross-section data, and is analyzed using static panel regression analysis via the Stata program, which passed the model selection tests, namely the Hausman test and the Lagrange Multiplier (LM) test. In this study, the Random Effect Model was found to be the most appropriate model (REM). The findings of the study indicate that economic and population growth influence the increase in carbon emissions. This study was unable to demonstrate the effect of value added to industry on carbon dioxide emissions.

Authors: Mwasiaji Evans , Alaro Lawrence O.
Published: September 2022

Globally, extreme temperature occurrences associated with climate change and rise in atmospheric temperature have been observed to be increasing in frequency, duration and intensity. These have negative effects on human health and safety, employee productivity and rate of economic growth. Some organizations have taken steps to address these heat related public health issues. There is however inadequate knowledge on the extent of implementation, effectiveness and acceptability of the existing heat adaptation intervention measures in many vulnerable communities. The general objective of this study therefore was to assess heat acclimatization interventions and implementation outcomes in ISO 14001 certified firms in Kenya. The study adopted descriptive research design. The unit of observation was 37 purposively selected senior executives in the identified firms. Mean responses received in a Likert scale of 1 – 5 for each of the tested items was calculated using descriptive statistics. The study recorded 75.68% response rate, with 42.9% of the respondents indicating that their firm has implemented infrastructural heat adaptation interventions such as cool-housing, shade and water provision, while 42.9% disagreed that the firm has in place technological intervention measures such as personal heat stress sensors and specialised material. When asked to indicate whether employees are aware about heat related mental health issues such as depression, suicide and substance abuse, 46.4% were not sure. When asked to comment on the appropriateness and wide acceptance of the current heat adaptation interventions in their respective firms, 42.9% of the study participants responded in the affirmative, while 21.4% were not sure. The study revealed that a substantial number of respondents were not sure or disagree with the current heat adaptation interventions. This implies that there is vulnerability to health threats associated with prolonged exposure to extreme heat events, hence negative social and economic outcomes such as hospitalization burden, low employee productivity and reduction in household income. The study recommends need for more studies in heat stress areas in Kenya, sensitization activities, review of heat adaptation measures and legal framework to mitigate effects of climate change. The expected study output is employee wellbeing and enhanced productivity for economic growth.

Published: September 2022

Objective: The reliability of the thoracolumbar injury classification and severity (TLICS) score is well established; however, its reliability among young neurosurgeons in particular has not been investigated. This study was designed to identify intra- and inter-observer differences between the TLICS system and the McAfee classification among young neurosurgeons, with the goal of facilitating communication between physicians and treatment decision-making for patients with thoracolumbar injuries.Methods: Six young neurosurgeons reviewed thoracolumbar spinal fracture patients between January 2016 and October 2020 and analyzed thoracolumbar fractures according to the 2 classification systems. The intra- and inter-observer reliability of the TLICS and the McAfee scale was assessed with the Cohen and Fleiss kappa tests.Results: The intra-observer kappa value for the TLICS exhibited excellent reliability (κ=0.85) compared to the McAfee classification (κ=0.79). The inter-observer kappa values for each category of the TLICS were 0.69 (morphology), 0.93 (neurologic status), 0.74 (posterior ligamentous complex), and 0.72 (total score). The kappa value of the McAfee classification was lower (κ=0.52).Conclusion: The TLICS system showed higher reliability than the McAfee classification. The TLICS score showed more consistent results for thoracolumbar spinal fractures and may thus serve as a guideline for young neurosurgeons in treating patients with thoracolumbar fractures.

Abstract. Reliable precipitation data are highly necessary for geoscience research in the Third Pole (TP) region but still lacking, due to the complex terrain and high spatial variability of precipitation here. Accordingly, this study produces a long-term (1979–2020) high-resolution (1/30°) precipitation dataset (TPHiPr) for the TP by merging the atmospheric simulation-based ERA5_CNN with gauge observations from more than 9000 rain gauges, using the Climatology Aided Interpolation and Random Forest methods. Validation shows that the TPHiPr is generally unbiased and has a root mean square error of 4.5 mm day-1, a correlation of 0.84 and a critical success index of 0.67 with respect to all independent rain gauges in the TP, demonstrating that this dataset is remarkably better than the widely-used global/quasi- global datasets, including the fifth-generation atmospheric reanalysis of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ERA5), the final run version 6 of the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG) and the Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble Precipitation version 2 (MSWEP V2). Moreover, the TPHiPr can better detect precipitation extremes compared with the three widely-used datasets. Overall, this study provides a new precipitation dataset with high accuracy for the TP, which may have broad applications in meteorological, hydrological and ecological studies. The produced dataset can be accessed via https://doi.org/10.11888/Atmos.tpdc.272763 (Yang and Jiang, 2022).
A comparison of 1D and 2D bedload transport functions under high excess shear stress conditions in laterally constrained gravel-bed rivers: a laboratory study
Authors: Adams David L. , Eaton Brett C.
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Channel processes under high-magnitude flow events are of central interest to river science and management as they may produce large volumes of sediment transport and geomorphic work. However, bedload transport processes under these conditions are poorly understood due to data collection limitations and the prevalence of physical models that restrict feedbacks surrounding morphologic adjustment. The extension of mechanistic bedload transport equations to gravel-bed rivers has emphasised the importance of variance in both entraining (shear stress) and resisting (grain size) forces, especially at low excess shear stresses. Using a fixed-bank laboratory model, we tested the hypothesis that bedload transport in rivers collapses to a more simple function (i.e. with mean shear stress and median grain size) under high excess shear stress conditions. Bedload transport was well explained by the mean shear stress (1D approach) calculated using the depth–slope product. Numerically modelling shear stress to account for the variance in shear stress (2D) did not substantially improve the correlation. Critical dimensionless shear stress values were back-calculated and were higher for the 2D approach compared to the 1D. This result suggests that 2D critical values account for the relatively greater influence of high shear stresses, whereas the 1D approach assumes that the mean shear stress is sufficient to mobilise the median grain size. While the 2D approach may have a stronger conceptual basis, the 1D approach performs unreasonably well under high excess shear stress conditions. Further work is required to substantiate these findings in laterally adjustable channels.

Published: September 2022

A review of Hirschkop K. The Cambridge Introduction to Mikhail Bakhtin. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2021.  xvi, 250 p. (Cambridge Introductions to Literature).
Speaking today about the importance of Mikhail Bakhtin's ideas for the humanities is restating the obvious. The book by the renowned Canadian literary and cultural studies scholar Professor K. Hirschkop, The Cambridge Introduction to Mikhail Bakhtin (2021), aims at a systematic description of M.M. Bakhtin's scholarly legacy for the English-speaking reader, primarily for students. In our view, in this edition, the author solves both the traditional tasks of a textbook-reference book, written in the genre of "Introduction," and the research tasks. The Russian thinker's theory and practice analysis is presented based on the texts of his Collected Works, which, according to Hirschkop, form an image of a "new" Bakhtin. The tried and tested scheme of the Cambridge Introduction enables the author to draw a concise sketch of the scholar's life, outline the main sources and contexts of his scholarly quest, analyze key ideas and works, and describe the process of Bakhtin’s reception in the English-speaking world.

Pakistan and Türkiye host millions of registered Afghan and Syrian refugee respectively and provide them with humanitarian aid. This study highlights the picture demonstrated to the world, made by Türkiye and Pakistan to address refugee crises. In Middle Eastern region, Türkiye is now rising as new major power for the Muslim countries in the multifaceted context, including sympathetically letting in Syrian refugees; however, the in-depth truth is entirely dissimilar. Religious and autonomist fulfilment are fundamental components in Türkiye discrepancy of its dignity in facilitating Syrian refugees with empathy and assistance. Being a strong economy compared to Pakistan and an active member of the international community, Türkiye is violating international law on various refugees' accommodation. Interestingly, in spite of inconsequential assets and lesser affirmation from the global community, Pakistan's extraordinary responsibility as a prototypical host for forty years of emigrants from Afghanistan. Furthermore, the covid-19 pandemic circumstances also pose formidable challenges to both states and develop different refugees' policies. Once again, with an on-going overabundance of challenges, Pakistan provides maximum accommodation to Afghan refugees to survive the pandemic era compared to Türkiye. The research is mainly focused on how Türkiye and Pakistan has managed their socioeconomic resources in handling the refugee crisis.

The significance of Liver Function Tests in detecting prediabetes as a prognostic factor
Authors: H. Jasim Ola , M. Mahmood Majid , Ad’hiah Ali H.
Published: September 2022

Prediabetes has been a target for research to understand risk factors that may predict it. The presence of liver function enzymes is one of the risk factors (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], and alkaline phosphatase [ALP]). Therefore, the aim of present cross-sectional investigation was to determine the predictive relevance of three enzymes in the development of prediabetes in Iraqi adults. Three groups of individuals have included: 30 apparently healthy individuals (normoglycemia), 58 prediabetics, and 30 patients who suffer from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Results revealed that ALT median was significantly increased in prediabetes compared to normoglycemia and diabetes (19.7 vs. 13.3 and 12.0 IU/L, respectively; p = 0.001). For AST, there were no significant differences between the three groups investigated (p = 0.444). In the case of ALP, significantly increased medians were observed in prediabetes and diabetes compared to normoglycemia (90.4 and 87.5 vs. 70.6 IU/L, respectively; p = 0.007). ROC curve analysis revealed that ALT (AUC = 0.791; 95% CI =0.688 - 0.894; p = 0.001; cut-off value = 16.1IU/L; sensitivity = 72.4%; specificity = 73.3%) and ALP (AUC = 0.724; 95% CI = 0.621 - 0.828; p = 0.001; cut-off value = 80.2 IU/L; sensitivity = 67.2%; specificity = 66.7%) were good predictors in differentiating between prediabetes and normoglycemia. In diabetes, both variables failed to show such prediction, and there was no significant differentiating power. Logistic regression analysis confirmed the significance of ALT and ALP in prediabetes. An OR of 7.22(95% CI = 2.71 - 19.22; p = 0.001) was related with ALT. ALP was also linked to a higher incidence of prediabetes A greater frequency of prediabetes was also associated to ALP (OR = 5.38; 95 percent CI = 2.01 - 14.38; p = 0.001). In the case of diabetes, ALT and ALP were not linked to a higher risk of developing the condition. To summarize, this research shows that ALT and ALP are effective predictors of prediabetes, but further research is needed to fully comprehend the mechanism underlying the link between liver function enzymes and diabetes risk.

Airfoil performance in this domain of Reynolds numbers differs significantly from that common to classical aerodynamics. In particular, a laminar boundary layer on the suction side of the airfoil often separates even at low angles of attack, which detrimentally affects airfoil performance. The severity of performance degradation depends significantly on separated shear layer development. The shear layer is inherently unstable and undergoes transition to turbulence downstream of separation, which can lead to flow reattachment and the formation of a separation bubble. The associated flow dynamics plays a key role in the overall flow development over the airfoil. The seminar will present an overview of recent experimental studies that aim to provide a holistic outlook on separation bubble dynamics and its response to forcing.

Tắc động mạch phổi cấp là một cấp cứu thường gặp, có tỷ lệ tử vong và tàn phế cao, song nếu thầy thuốc không nghĩ đến thì không chẩn đoán được. Mục tiêu của nghiên cứu này là xác định tỷ lệ tử vong sau 1 tháng được theo dõi và mô tả các triệu chứng lâm sàng của tắc động mạch phổi cấp. Đây là một nghiên cứu mô tả hồi cứu. Tắc động mạch phổi cấp được xác định khi biểu hiện triệu chứng lâm sàng đầu tiên trong vòng 14 ngày và có huyết khối trong động mạch phổi trên phim chụp cắt lớp vi tính động mạch phổi. Nghiên cứu đã thu thập được 159 bệnh nhân, với độ tuổi trung bình là 58,6 ± 18, nữ giới chiếm 54,1%. Triệu chứng lâm sàng hay gặp nhất của tắc động mạch phổi cấp là khó thở (85,5%), đau ngực (chiếm 59,1%), 46/159 (28,9%) có sốc. Sau 1 tháng theo dõi, tỷ lệ tử vong do mọi nguyên nhân là 11,6%, do tắc động mạch phổi cấp là 3,4%.

Sarcom Ewing là tổn thương ác tính nguyên phát tại xương, chủ yếu hay gặp ở trẻ em và người trẻ trong thập niên thứ 2 tại vùng hành xương dài. Sarcom Ewing từ 2 vị trí trở lên ở cột sống ít gặp, chỉ chiếm khoảng 10% các trường hợp sarcom Ewing xương cột sống. Chúng tôi báo cáo một trường hợp bệnh nhân nam 37 tuổi vào viện vì đau mỏi vùng cổ sau đó tiến triển triệu chứng liệt hai chân và yếu hai tay; có tổn thương tiêu xương đốt sống nhiều vị trí ở cột sống cổ và cột sống ngực trên phim chụp cắt lớp vi tính và cộng hưởng từ (MRI), hướng đến tổn thương thứ phát. Sau đó, bệnh nhân được tiến hành sinh thiết làm mô bệnh học và nhuộm hóa mô miễn dịch hướng đến sarcom Ewing. Tổn thương sarcom Ewing xương đốt sống đa ổ ít gặp và khó chẩn đoán phân biệt với tổn thương đa ổ khác tại đốt sống như thứ phát, đa u tủy xương… vì vậy cần được chẩn đoán bằng mô bệnh học và hóa mô miễn dịch.

Chất lượng cuộc sống đang là một trong các tiêu chí mới cần hướng tới trong quản lý và điều trị hen phế quản ở trẻ em. Nghiên cứu cắt ngang được thực hiện nhằm mô tả chất lượng cuộc sống của những bệnh nhi 5 - 12 tuổi mắc hen tại Bệnh viện Nhi Trung Ương trong năm 2020 - 2021. Số liệu về được thu thập qua thang đo PedsQL™ 3.0 của Varni.J.W cho thấy trong số 4 nhóm điểm, nhóm triệu chứng bệnh có điểm cao nhất với 88,1 điểm. Hai nhóm lĩnh vực về cảm xúc và giao tiếp có mức điểm thấp nhất là 70,99 và 70,24 điểm. Điểm chất lượng cuộc sống trung bình của bệnh nhi trong nghiên cứu theo 28 tiêu chí là 81,45/100 điểm. Kết quả nghiên cứu cũng cho thấy nhóm trẻ bị bệnh hen nặng hơn, môi trường sống có khói thuốc hay không tuân thủ điều trị có chất lượng cuộc sống kém hơn các bệnh nhi khác.

Published: September 2022

Thang điểm SCOPA-AUT là một công cụ có giá trị và đáng tin cậy trong đánh giá rối loạn chức năng thần kinh tự chủ trên bệnh nhân Parkinson. Giá trị của thang điểm SCOPA-AUT đã được nghiên cứu và chứng minh qua nhiều nghiên cứu trên thế giới. Tuy nhiên, tại Việt Nam hiện vẫn chưa có nghiên cứu nào về việc ứng dụng thang điểm này trong đánh giá một cách đầy đủ chức năng tự chủ ở bệnh nhân Parkinson. Do đó, chúng tôi thực hiện nghiên cứu này với mục tiêu: Nghiên cứu đặc điểm rối loạn thần kinh tự chủ ở bệnh nhân Parkinson dựa theo thang điểm SCOPA-AUT và khảo sát mối liên quan giữa điểm SCOPA-AUT và mức độ nặng của bệnh. Kết quả cho thấy: Tỷ lệ gặp bất thường hệ thần kinh tự chủ đều cao nhất ở nhóm triệu chứng tiêu hoá, sau đó là tim mạch và tiểu tiện. Tổng điểm trung bình SCOPA-AUT là 8,64±6,4. Điểm trung bình SCOPA-AUT thành phần cao nhất ở nhóm các triệu chứng rối loạn tiêu hoá, rối loạn tiểu tiện và tim mạch với giá trị tương ứng là: 3,85 ± 2,68; 1,92 ± 2,69; 1,55 ± 1,77. Không có sự khác biệt về giá trị điểm SCOPA ở từng hệ cơ quan giữa hai giới. Có mối liên quan giữa tổng điểm SCOPA-AUT và giai đoạn bệnh theo phân độ Hoehn & Yahr (hệ số tương quan Pearson r = 0,3 với p < 0,05).

Mô tả đặc điểm lâm sàng, cận lâm sàng của 11 bệnh nhân có triệu chứng thần kinh tái phát sau viêm não Herpes simplex (HSV) ở trẻ em. Mô tả cắt ngang hàng loạt các ca bệnh từ tháng 11 năm 2019 đến tháng 12 năm 2021. Ở thời điểm nghiên cứu, tất cả bệnh nhân đều có kháng thể kháng thụ thể NMDA (N-methyl-D-Aspartate) dương tính và Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) HSV âm tính trong dịch não tủy. Thời gian khởi phát bệnh trung bình sau viêm não HSV là 22,9 ± 7,4 ngày. Triệu chứng hay gặp nhất là rối loạn vận động (81,8%), suy giảm tri giác tái phát và sốt lại (63,6%). Xét nghiệm dịch não tủy có tăng bạch cầu và nồng độ protein. Điện não đồ hay gặp sóng chậm khu trú hoặc lan tỏa hai bán cầu. Cộng hưởng từ sọ não không có tổn thương hoại tử mới. Viêm não kháng thụ thể NMDA sau viêm não HSV có thể gặp ở trẻ nhỏ. Các bác sỹ lâm sàng cần làm xét nghiệm tìm kháng thể kháng thụ thể NMDA trong dịch não tủy nếu bệnh nhân có triệu chứng thần kinh mới hoặc tái phát sau viêm não HSV.

Nghiên cứu mô tả loạt trường hợp phản ứng sau tiêm của khách hàng tại phòng tiêm chủng dịch vụ trường Đại học Y Hà Nội từ 2015 đến 2020. Phần lớn là các phản ứng thông thường sau tiêm, có 4 trường hợp là tai biến nặng sau tiêm. Tỷ lệ có tai biến nặng sau tiêm các vắc xin là 3,7/100.000 liều vắc xin. Tỷ lệ có tai biến nặng sau tiêm vắc xin cao nhất là ở vắc xin phế cầu với tỉ lệ 25 trường hợp/100.000 liều vắc xin. Thời gian xảy ra tai biến nặng rất nhanh (dưới 10 phút). Triệu chứng đầu tiên thường là tím tái, khó thở. Phản ứng thông thường gặp chủ yếu ở những đối tượng sử dụng vắc xin não mô cầu, viêm gan B, vắc xin 6 trong 1, phế cầu và uốn ván. Thời gian xảy ra chủ yếu xuất hiện từ 1 ngày đến 2 ngày sau tiêm với các triệu chứng sốt, choáng váng, ban đỏ, ngứa. Các nguyên nhân chủ yếu là do phản ứng quá mẫn với vắc xin và do trùng hợp ngẫu nhiên với nguyên nhân khác. Tất cả các đối tượng có phản ứng sau tiêm đều khỏi và ổn định.
