Authors: Gushchina Vera A.leksandrovna , Nikolskaya Elena Olegovna , Lobanova Natalya Yurievna
Published: March 2022

Despite the great success in the creation of chemical drugs, the popularity of herbal medicine is increasing. Medicinal plants, including Echinacea purpurea, occupy a special place among natural sources of raw materials. An efficient place for the cultivation is the Middle Volga region. Since Echinacea has been cultivated recently, it has specific properties of wild species that could seriously influence on the process of cultivation. It could be observed in seed germination and during a long period from sowing to seedlings, which leads to an increase in weediness. In this regard, the purpose of the current research is to develop technological methods for the cultivation of Echinacea purpurea in the year of sowing, providing the greatest realization of the potential in conditions of unstable moisture. According to the results of the research carried out in 2014 – 2017 on the chernozem meadow soil on the experimental plot of Penza State Agrarian University, it was found that during the winter sowing of the crop (October 20 ... 30), the highest germination rate of 57.6% was noted, the number of plants was 115 pcs/m2. At the early spring sowing carried out at the end of April, it decreased by 4.8%. As a result of competition between themselves and the weed component, the number of surviving plants by autumn decreased to 97.7...106.9 pcs/m2. The highest green mass yield of 10.2 t/ha was obtained on winter sowing with three manual weed removal and pre-emergence application of Lazurit SP herbicide (0.5 kg/ha) followed by the application of Miura (0.6 l/ha) in phase 2-4 weed leaves.

Capillary Desaturation Curves For Evaluating Surfactant Performance By Core Flooding Experiments
Authors: Sugihardjo Sugihardjo
Published: March 2022

Capillary desaturation curves are normally generated in laboratory scale by means of core flooding experiments to evaluate the surfactant formulations for chemical injection in EOR projects. Low tension surfactant solution is the only liquid that could increase the dimensionless capillary number in order of magnitude of 103. Two types of core samples have been used in core flooding experiments to develop capillary desaturation curves, i.e., generic and standard Classhach core samples. In Addition, VS surfactant and additional alcohols are also used in these experiments. The higher the capillary number could generate a lower the residual oil saturation. Moreover, each rock may have a particular capillary desaturation curve depending on the rock properties. Therefore before implementing chemical injection in a pilot scale, capillary desaturation curve should be developed in laboratory to evaluate the surfactant injection performance.

Reservoir Simulator For Improved Recovery Of Coalbed Methane (Icbm) Part Ii : Effect Of Coal Matrix Swelling And Shrinkage
Authors: Syahrial Ego
Published: March 2022

Sequestration of CO2 in deep unmined coal seams is currently under development for improved recovery of coalbed methane (ICBM) as well as permanent storage of CO2. Recent studies have shown that CO2 displaces methane by adsorbing more readily onto the coal matrix compared to other greenhouse gases, and could therefore contribute towards reducing global warming. In order to carry out a more accurate assessment of the potential of ICBM and CO2 sequestration, field based numerical simulations are required. Existing simulators for primary CBM (coalbed methane) recovery cannot be applied since the process of CO2 injection in partially desorbed coalbeds is highly complex and not fully understood. The principal challenges encountered in numerical modelling of ICBM/CO2 sequestration processes which need to be solved include: (1) two-phase flow, (2) multiple gas components, (3) impact of coal matrix swelling and shrinkage on permeability, and (4) mixed gas sorption. This part II of this two-part paper series describes the development of a compositional simulator with the impact of matrix shrinkage/swelling on the production performance on primary and echanced recovery of coalbed methane. The numerical results for enhanced recovery indicate that matrix swelling associated with CO2 injection could results in more than an order of magnitude reduction in formation permeability around the injection well, hence prompt decline in well injectivity. The model prediction of the decline in well injectivity is consistent with the reported field observations in San Juan Basin USA. Also, a parametric study is conducted using this simulator to investigate the effects of coal properties on the enhancement of methane production efficiency based on published data.

Authors: Baro Ebikabowei , Eze Monica
Published: March 2022

In this study, we examined the state of school libraries in Nigerian secondary schools and attempted to find out why there are no libraries in some of the schools. In a survey of 356 Federal University, Otuoke in Bayelsa State students, respondents were asked two questions: 1) the state of school libraries in the secondary school they graduated from; and for those reporting no school library, 2) perceived reasons why there is no school library. The results revealed that all most half of the respondents had no school library in their secondary schools . Reasons for this absence included the Nigerian government's nonchalant attitude towards village schools, lack of adequate space for libraries in school premises, lack of fund ng, and school managements' forceful selling of books to primary and secondary students.

Mind the Gaps: School Librarians' Job Descriptions and the Professional Standards for School Librarians in the United States
Authors: Elkins Aaron J.
Published: March 2022

While previous studies have analyzed the contents of different librarians’ job descriptions (Brewerton, 2011; Park, Lu, & Marion, 2009), school librarians’ job descriptions have not received similar attention. The purpose of this study was to compare how well the performance responsibilities from Florida school librarians’ job descriptions agreed with the performance responsibilities from the American Association of School Librarians’ (AASL) professional standards outlined in their publication Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Programs (AASL, 2009). Rates of agreement were calculated by using thematic qualitative content analysis to compare the subjects and actions of the respective performance responsibilities. Analysis showed the ages and origins of the job descriptions did not have a consistent influence on rates of agreement, though job descriptions within the range of 11-20 performance responsibilities tended to have higher average rates of agreement. The various aspects of school librarians’ roles as described in Empowering Learners were present in their job descriptions to different extents, with some aspects more frequently represented than others. The differences between the performance responsibilities in school librarians’ job descriptions and Empowering Learners may be a source of role ambiguity, conflict, erosion, and overload for school librarians.
O LUGAR DAS INFÂNCIAS NA BASE NACIONAL COMUM CURRICULAR DA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA
Authors: santos karla de oliveira
Published: March 2022

As políticas neoliberais implementadas no Brasil na passagem do século XX para o século XXI, coloca o currículo como o centro de materialização da qualidade da educação, alicerçado pelas avaliações em larga escala, que irão validar a sua possível eficácia. Contudo, há um movimento internacional de homogeneização curricular e a Base Nacional Comum Curricular para a Educação Básica, última versão de 2017, têm assumido este caráter, dissipando as contribuições das universidades e movimentos sociais, pautando-se em uma visão ultrarreacionária. É importante destacar, a participação de algumas empresas e organismos multilaterais, que ganham espaço/força na formulação das políticas educacionais dos últimos governos. O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar as problemáticas do lugar que as infâncias ocupam na Base Nacional Comum Curricular, a partir de um currículo oficial e universal alinhado às avaliações externas. A metodologia adotada é de cunho qualitativo, através da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. As políticas atuais tem exercido um governo sobre as crianças, visando o treinamento com o foco em aquisição de habilidades e competências mensuráveis, que privilegiam conteúdos e que serão testadas nas avaliações oficiais, sob o discurso de uma igualdade e qualidade educacional que despreza as desigualdades sociais, a alteridade, as diferenças culturais e as infâncias. Destacamos a importância de assumir as crianças como sujeitos ativos de direitos no contexto escolar e ressaltar que historicamente as infâncias têm avançado em aspectos de caráter político-social e legal. Entretanto, algumas problemáticas desse lugar, têm contribuído para negar o direito de viver a infância em sua plenitude e produzido uma pedagogia colonizadora, que se faz presente nas políticas curriculares. A Base envolta de um discurso de igualdade educacional, a partir de direitos de aprendizagens (leia-se competências), impõe o que deve ser ensinado a cada criança, sem a mínima visibilidade e respeito às infâncias, sobre como vivem, o que pensam, o que sabem, o que produzem, o que fazem os infantis, impondo uma educação castradora, que almeja formar as crianças para atender à lógica do mercado, podando o desenvolvimento dos infantis, reduzindo-os à crianças treináveis, a-históricas e disciplinadas. E ainda, podendo cooptá-las para atender às avaliações padronizadas, interferindo diretamente nos processos de subjetivação das crianças e na sua formação para o exercício da cidadania, formando uma criança autogovernada da democracia liberal com aspectos de uma nova cidadania para uma economia global. Destarte, ainda precisamos avançar, destituindo a infância de uma concepção adultocêntrica, onde os adultos colonizam as infâncias, a partir de uma perspectiva de que ela pertence a um território próprio, definindo, controlando, moralizando e disciplinando os infantis para que se tornem úteis socialmente e economicamente.

Background: An association between Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Metabolic Syndrome (MS) a constellation of abnormalities (high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and abdominal obesity), has been demonstrated. There have been many studies that have shown that elevated blood pressure (BP), was significantly associated with an increased risk of AF. It is uncertain whether maintaining the optimal BP levels can prevent AF in the patients with MS categorized as ‘high-risk’ patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of control of BP on the occurrence of new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with Metabolic Syndrome. Methods: Into this observational study, was enrolled 435 consecutive patients (210 males and 225 females) aged 45-79 years who fulfilled criteria for MS. Participants were selected among primary and secondary care patients, who were receiving ongoing care for arterial hypertension in the period from November 2018 till November 2021. The study was conducted at outpatients in 5 Health Care Clinics (3 Secondary Health Care Clinics and 2 Primary Health Clinics). Patient were categorized according to their BP levels as Group 1-patients with controlled BP, {(patients aged < 65 years Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) of 120 - 130 mmHg, patients aged ≥ 65 years SBP of 130 - 139 mmHg)} and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), {(patients aged < 65 years of < 80 mmHg. but not < 70 mmHg; patients aged ≥ 65 years of 85 - 89 mmHg)}, or Group 2-patients with uncontrolled BP(> 130/80 mmHg),and in patients aged ≥ 65 years BP (≥ 140/90 mmHg ). Results: New-onset of AF, was more frequent in participants with uncontrolled BP, respectively (34.7% vs. 19.5%, p = 0.009).Patients with uncontrolled BP have more frequent persistent AF (15.2% vs. 0.04%) and permanent AF (0.08% vs. 0.02%), whereas there was not significant changes between groups in relation to frequency of paroxysmal AF, respectively (12.8% vs. 10.9%, p = 0.29). There was observed significant association of uncontrolled BP with: increased frequency of AF (OR = 2.193; 95% CI 1.390 - 3.439), persistent AF (OR = 3.931; 95% CI 1.771 - 8.084), permanent AF (OR = 4.138; 95% CI 1.383-12.381), LA. Dimension ≥ 2.2 cm/m2 (OR = 2.089, 95% CI 1.330 - 3.252), BMI (OR = 5.226, 95% CI 3.155 - 8.659) and 5-risk factors for MS, respectively (OR = 2.998, 95% CI 1.833 - 4.901). Conclusion: Optimal BP levels, can reduce the frequency of new-onset AF in patients with MS categorized as ‘high-risk’ patients. Uncontrolled BP was associated with an increased risk of both subtypes of AF (persistent and permanent) in the patients with MS categorized as ‘high-risk’ patients.

ABSTRACT : The goal of this study was to see how liquidity, leverage, firm size, political cost, and profitability affected accounting conservatism. This study focuses on utility, infrastructure, and transportation firms that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2017 and 2018. Purposive sampling was used to choose the sample, which yielded 30 organizations. The population collected samples analyzed were 15 companies chosen using the purposive sampling approach. Secondary data received from the Indonesia Stock Exchange website is utilized. Panel data regression was used in the data analysis technique, which was carried out using the Eviews 9.0 program. This study's findings indicate that accounting conservatism is impacted by corporate size and political cost. Profitability, liquidity, and Prudent Accounting have no relationship. This means that a company's wealth can easily tolerate political expenditures; as a result, management is constantly pressured by the owner to be more cautious in disclosing information in its financial accounts. Keywords: Prudence Accounting, Liquidity, Leverage, Company size, Political Cost, Profitability

This study considered six factors which include; Slope, curvature, landcover, elevation, distance from river and soil using Rafinsenyi river in Chanchaga Local Government area, Minna-Nigeria, as study area. Review of literatures showed that methods of assigning weight are hypothetical and inconsistent, this research thus take input from researchers in field of hydraulics, hydrology and disaster management. The weight with 0.029 as the least consistency ratio was used. Data used include; DGPS data, Satellite Images, Digital Soil Data. Landcover Maps, Digital Elevation Models (DEM), Soil Maps and Profile Curvature maps were generated. Weighted overlay operation was carried out in ArcGIS to produce a Flood Risk Map. Livisol (Loam) soil reveals why farmers and traders indiscriminately settle along floodplain. 6 of the 20 hectares of study area lies between 216 and 220 metres above mean sea level, putting residential building at high risk of flooding.
Study on the Aridity in the North-Western (NW) Part of Bangladesh through Combined Application of Remote Sensing, GIS and Geophysical Data
Authors: Rahman Sajıdur , Rahman Hafızur
Published: March 2022

In the present paper, hydro-environmental behaviour of two adjacent but characteristically different land areas of (i) semi-arid Barind Tract and (ii) Ganges flood plain situated in the north-western part of Bangladesh have been studied and possible mechanisms of variability in the two study sites have been investigated. Time series remote sensing data supplemented with climatic, geophysical and groundwater data and other ancillary information have been analysed for the purpose. Coupling of Landsat TM derived vegetation cover information with meteorological data depicts higher sensitivity of Barind Tract than the other study site towards vegetation cover changes in response to rainfall amount. Temporal sequence of albedo value as derived from Landsat TM data manifests appropriate seasonal trend that is consistent with field observations. Analysis of rainfall data over a period of about 50 years depicts substantially higher rainfall in both the study sites as compared to a typical semiarid region. However, temporal distribution of rainfall events is mostly concentrated within very short period of time in the year. Lithological information on the subsurface configuration depicts the existence of a relatively impermeable clayey layer near the top surface in these areas. Relatively higher thickness of this impermeable clayey layer over the semiarid Barind areas has been noticed that slows down the infiltration process significantly as compared to that in adjacent floodplain areas. Analysis of drainage network exhibits relatively higher drainage density in the Barind Tract area as compared to that in floodplain area. The drainage pattern shows predominantly unidirectional and distributary nature of drainage in the Barind Tract area and in general, distribution is oriented towards basin direction and most of the branches of the drainage system. Ultimately, relatively higher elevation, steeper slope result in relatively quicker surface runoff to carry out excess rain water to the nearest basins, results in decreased infiltration of rainwater. Eventually, the conversion efficiency of Barind Tract area to transform intercepted rainwater into underground reservoir water through infiltration seems to be lower as compared to that of floodplain areas.
The Role of Local Governments in Integrated Coastal Areas Management
Authors: Kaya Hakan
Published: March 2022

Turkey is surrounded by seas on three sides like a sea country, also has a great inland sea such as the Sea of Marmara. The majority of the population of Turkey is located at the shores of the sea. However, because of the rapidly increasing population in Turkey, a settlement has been subject to many coastal distorted. Many people and institutions responsible for this distorted residence, although, unfortunately, no one takes the blame on. That is the thesis that the study of coasts in Turkey in general terms about the mistakes made until now focused on who is fault. The real important what is the role of local governments, is examined in this defect. In addition, still regarded as pristine as what to do about the coasts, are emphasized. In particular it should be stated at what point the new local government structures are.

While all these studies of integrated coastal areas management, a clearer understanding of what the role of local governments in the study area was taken as an example for the Marmara Region. Because, the Marmara Region of Turkey's most advanced, most cosmopolitan, most populous and most densely population region. At the same time zone landforms, climate, vegetation and so on. Factors of diversity is a mark all over Turkey. Most Importantly, this region has coast at the Marmara Sea, Black Sea and the Aegean Sea. That's because of these reasons, be considered a reflection of Turkey's Marmara region.

As a result of this study, the sampling area studies, from past to present, examining the laws and institutions, which ones play a role in the development of coastal areas, integrated coastal areas management to date on what is the role of local government and after that what should have been tried out.

Published: March 2022

Spatial analysis plays a prominent role in revealing and characterizing the spatial patterns over a geographical region by considering both the attributes of objects in a data set and their locations. The response variable can display spatial autocorrelation. The objects close together tend to produce more similar observations than objects further apart. Despite covariates in the model, we cannot capture spatial autocorrelation explicitly. It remains in the model residuals. Then, the independence assumption is violated by the residuals. We apply conditional autoregressive (CAR) model to prevent the residual spatial autocorrelation. In this study, we consider the problem of identifying the provinces at high risk to respiratory diseases mortality in Turkey. The number of deaths from respiratory diseases in 81 provinces of Turkey are modelled by using Leroux Model. We assume that the observed number of deaths have a Poisson distribution. Disease mapping is performed over calculated risk values. The results show that an increase in the household consumption of alcoholic beverages, cigarettes and tobacco and, also in the rate of people aged over 65 years in a province trigger a significant increase in respiratory disease mortality. Furthermore, Kastamonu has the highest mortality risk from respiratory diseases.
A Review of Urban Heat Island formation over changing climate and its impacts on Urban Land Use and Environments and Adaptation Measures
Authors: Das Sumanta
Published: March 2022

Climate change and associated global warming adversely impact urban environments, which leads to the increasing of land surface temperature (LST) and the formation of urban heat islands (UHI). In this study, the author has attempted to present current understandings of UHI formation over changing climate and its probable impacts on urban land use and environmental risks. The review provides a thorough understanding of the UHI and how this impacts urban communities, land use, and environments. In addition, the author has also addressed the quantification process of UHI in the Geospatial platform which helps monitor, assess, and predict the environmental risks at a local scale. The study demonstrated the advantages of earth observation data and Geo-Spatial technologies to detect and monitor the UHI over the temporal scale and a clear understanding of spatial data processing for quantification of UHI. The author finally suggested some best possible adaptation measures of UHI that can assist urban planners and policy makers to build resilient urban communities.

Authors: Ocakoğlu Neslihan , Kılıç Gül Fatmagül , İşcan Alp Yeliz
Published: March 2022

In order to investigate the submarine morphology of offshore Cide-Sinop from the perspective of the Black Sea flooding, the rivers, submarine channels and some spatial data were extracted by using General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO-2014) which is a seamless digital elevation and bathymetry grid (DEM), and Geographic Information System (GIS) software tools. The accuracy of extracted land rivers were controlled with 1/25K topo-maps by using buffer overlay method. The comparisons affirmed that the rivers are on ratio of 75% in 0-400 meters buffer distance. The derived submarine channels with a total of 1548 km length indicate that there is a dendritic drainage pattern with the flow direction from north to the south extending from coast to shelf plain, shelf break and converging toward the abyssal plain respectively in the study area. However, seismic profiles do not indicate any recent delta deposits on the shelf plain. The only some prograded delta deposits are determined at the shelf break in a limited area, where they coincide with the submarine channels derived in this study. These deposits are truncated from their top by an erosional surface which extends over the whole shelf plain. These results indicate that the derived submarine channels do not represent the current flow pattern offshore Cide-Sinop. Instead, they illustrate paleochannels that should be active during the last lowstand time, before the Black Sea Flood and their sedimentary influx should also control the developments of canyons located at the shelf edge at that time. However, the most of the canyons located on the shelf slope are under the influence of both submarine erosion and active tectonics at present.

A identificação de alunos com altas habilidades, com base em pesquisa junto aos profissionais da educação na rede pública estadual no município de Marabá - Pará
Authors: Gobira Magda
Published: March 2022

Searching for comprehension as to why, for some people, everything is so easy whereas for others, everything is so difficult when it comes to learning, assimilating, creating and reacting to stimulus and living in balance in a group. We then turn to the brain, mind and the environment: where we live, to find inside, outside and in everything we do, a way to identify the *AESD(ALUNO ESPECIAL SUPERDOTADO) GIFTED STUDENT. Once the field to be studied is so wide and complex, we don't have complete and conclusive answers about the *AESD in Marabá. We do have a positive outlook on the possibilities for researching this field and subject. Either through Goleman, when talking about the Intelligence Quotient; or Heylinghen, discussing logic systems and the human being's brain complexity. We must always take unpredictability into account, which is an inherent part of a complex system, and in this case part of a bright, high gifted human being and student.
Reporta-me: livro-reportagem sobre os desafios psicológicos dos jornalistas
Authors: Antunes Lazier Maria Eduarda
Published: March 2022

Um jornalista vive de contar histórias. E é contraditório que muitas vezes não saiba contar a sua. Dia após dia, as histórias desses profissionais, submetidos a tamanho estresse, violência psicológica, violência moral e assédio, são represadas – talvez em nome da estabilidade profissional, para preservar a imagem e o nome tão fundamentais a esse ofício. Ou ainda porque parece de fato egoísta falar de si próprio diante de tanto a reportar, de tantos outros dramas humanos e problemas sociais que são a matéria-prima desta profissão. Mas se lidamos com as palavras e as histórias, sabemos mais do que ninguém do seu poder de transformação. Por isso, este livro é necessário: porque ele revela as histórias por trás da história, sem o glamour de Hollywood. Porque ele apresenta a nós, jornalistas, como personagens reais, em sua vulnerabilidade. Porque ele é um pontapé numa discussão urgente sobre a gentileza e a empatia nas redações – e fora delas. E porque é a partir de uma história bem contada que se pode refletir sobre o passado e transformar o que virá daqui em diante.
Environmental, Technical, and Representational Uncertainty: A Framework for Making Sense of the Hidden Complexity of Educational Change
Authors: Yurkofsky Maxwell
Published: March 2022

School systems are increasingly working to foster more ambitious learning environments and disrupt institutionalized educational inequities. But such efforts are complicated by a number of uncertainties—about the aims of schooling and how they might be achieved or measured—that suffuse educational organizations. Although there is general agreement that uncertainty is both pervasive and consequential in educational settings, as a field we lack a more unified analytic framework for making sense of this uncertainty. In this article, I seek to advance such a project by drawing on educational and organizational scholarship to identify three forms of uncertainty that pervade school systems. While two of these forms of uncertainty—environmental and technical—are well established in organizational theory, I develop the concept of representational uncertainty as a third form of uncertainty that is particularly impactful in schools. I show how these three forms of uncertainty manifest across different contexts, aims, and levels of school systems; how they interrelate; and how they must be strategically mitigated or fostered in the service of educational improvement.

Background: The current study tested the level of endocan, which is thought to have an effective role in both endothelial dysfunction and inflammation, in infertile women with endometriosis treated with in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). It is based on the hypothesis of chronic inflammation in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. Methods: This prospective case–control study included a total of 64 women who were in the IVF/ICSI program. The women were divided into two groups: endometriosis (n = 32) and non-endometriosis (n = 32). Their baseline characteristics, stimulation parameters, and IVF/ICSI outcomes (clinical pregnancy and live birth rates) were recorded. Blood samples collected at the beginning of the IVF cycle for endocan levels were analyzed with a sandwich enzyme immunoassay and the results were documented. Results: The endocan levels in the endometriosis group were significantly higher than those in the non-endometriosis group, i.e., 5010 pg/mL and 2738 pg/mL, respectively (p < 0.05). A significant weakly positive correlation was found between endocan levels and the presence of endometriosis (p < 0.05, r: 0.284). The cut-off value for endometriosis was determined as 4693 pg/mL with a sensitivity of 53.13% and a specificity of 78.12%. Clinical pregnancy was insignificantly higher in the non-endometriosis group (p = 0.079). However, live birth rates were significantly higher in the non-endometriosis group (p < 0.05). No correlation was found between clinical pregnancy and live birth rate and endocan levels (p > 0.05). Conclusion: High endocan levels were detected in women who underwent IVF/ICSI treatment for endometriosis and infertility and there was a positive correlation between them. However, there was no relationship between endocan levels and IVF/ICSI outcomes.

Objectives: Minimally invasive sling procedures for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence has gained a topic of great interest for the last decades. However, postoperative storage symptoms after sling implantation or conventional surgical techniques are one of the most distressing complications which can significantly impair quality of life. The current review aims to focus on the development of storage symptoms after surgical treatment in comparison of different surgical techniques. Mechanism: A narrative review has been performed to identify literature reporting the incidence of storage symptoms after female stress urinary incontinence surgery. The results of systematic reviews and meta-analysis have been included in this review. Findings in brief: Pubovaginal slings have a higher risk for developing storage symptoms. In contrast, standard midurethral slings (SMUS) and colposuspensions demonstrate comparable rates of postoperative storage symptoms. Regarding SMUS, the surgical route did not demonstrate significant differences in storage symptoms. In comparison between SIMS and SMUS, no significant difference of postoperative storage symptoms could be identified. Conclusions: Pubovaginal slings have the highest risk for postoperative storage symptoms in comparison to colposuspension and SMUS and SIMS. Furthermore, surgical technique and misplacement of sling may contribute significantly in the development of postoperative storage symptoms.
