COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage in Patients with Rheumatic Diseases in a German Outpatient Clinic: An Observational Study
Authors: Krasselt Marco , Baerwald Christoph , Seifert Olga
Published: February 2022

Background: In the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, highly effective and safe vaccines became available. Since patients with rheumatic diseases show increased susceptibility to infections and typical medications raise the risk of severe COVID-19, high vaccination coverage is of significant importance to these patients. Methods: Consecutive patients with different rheumatic diseases were asked for their vaccination status regarding COVID-19, influenza and Streptococcus pneumoniae during their routine consultations. Any reported vaccination was validated with their personal vaccination card and/or by reviewing the CovPass smartphone app. Reasons for not having a COVID-19 vaccination were documented. Results: A total of 201 patients (mean age 62.3 ± 14.1 years) were included, the majority of them (44.3%) with rheumatoid arthritis, followed by spondyloarthritis (27.4%) and connective tissue diseases (21.4%). Vaccination coverage for SARS-CoV-2 was 80.1%; 85.6% got at least the first vaccination shot. Both valid influenza and pneumococcus coverage were associated with a higher probability of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination (odds ratio (OR) 6.243, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.637–14.783, p < 0.0001 and OR 6.372, 95% CI 2.105–19.282, p = 0.0003, respectively). The main reason for a missing SARS-CoV-2 vaccination (70%) was being sceptical about the vaccine itself (i.e., the subjective impression that the vaccine was not properly tested and fear of unwanted side effects). Conclusions: Vaccination coverage against SARS-CoV-2 is high in patients with rheumatic diseases. Nevertheless, there are unmet needs regarding vaccination education to further increase vaccination rates.

Published: February 2022

(1) Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a zoonotic pathogen that causes endocarditis, pneumonia, and skin diseases in humans and livestock. (2) Methods: The antibacterial effect of the total flavonoid against MRSA (ATCC43300) extracted from the Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb. (A. pilosa Ledeb) was evaluated by the microdilution method. The oxidative stresses in MRSA were evaluated by the levels of intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and oxidative stress-related genes. The DNA oxidative damage was tested by the 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and DNA gel electrophoresis. The differentially expressed proteins were determined by the method of SDS-PAGE and NanoLC-ESI-MS/MS, while the mRNAs of differential proteins were determined by Real-Time PCR. The changes of ultra-structures in MRSA were observed by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). (3) Results: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the total flavonoid against MRSA was recorded as 62.5 μg/mL. After treatment with the total flavonoid, the levels of intracellular H2O2 and ROS were increased and the gene expressions against oxidative stress (SodA, katA, TrxB) were decreased (p < 0.01), while the gene expression for oxidative stress (PerR) was increased (p < 0.01). The level of intracellular 8-OHdG in MRSA was increased (p < 0.01) and the DNA was damaged. The results of TEM also showed that the total flavonoid could destroy the ultra-structures in the bacteria. (4) Conclusions: The total flavonoid extracted from the A. pilosa Ledeb can induce the oxidative stress that disturbed the energy metabolism and protein synthesis in MRSA.
Daily Streamflow Forecasting Based on the Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization and Long Short-Term Memory Model in the Orontes Basin
Authors: Kilinc Huseyin Cagan
Published: February 2022

Water, a renewable but limited resource, is vital for all living creatures. Increasing demand makes the sustainability of water resources crucial. River flow management, one of the key drivers of sustainability, will be vital to protect communities from the worst impacts on the environment. Modelling and estimating river flow in the hydrological process is crucial in terms of effective planning, management, and sustainable use of water resources. Therefore, in this study, a hybrid approach integrating long short-term memory networks (LSTM) and particle swarm algorithm (PSO) was proposed. For this purpose, three hydrological stations were utilized in the study along the Orontes River basin, Karasu, Demirköprü, and Samandağ, respectively. The timespan of Demirköprü and Karasu stations in the study was between 2010 and 2019. Samandağ station data were from 2009–2018. The datasets consisted of daily flow values. In order to validate the performance of the model, the first 80% of the data were used for training, and the remaining 20% were used for the testing of the three FMSs. Statistical methods such as linear regression and the more classical model autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) were used during the comparison process to assess the proposed method’s performance and demonstrate its superior predictive ability. The estimation results of the models were evaluated with RMSE, MAE, MAPE, SD, and R2 statistical metrics. The comparison of daily streamflow predictions results revealed that the PSO-LSTM model provided promising accuracy results and presented higher performance compared with the benchmark and linear regression models.
Scour Propagation Rates around Offshore Pipelines Exposed to Currents by Applying Data-Driven Models
Authors: Najafzadeh Mohammad , Oliveto Giuseppe
Published: February 2022

Offshore pipelines are occasionally exposed to scouring processes; detrimental impacts on their safety are inevitable. The process of scouring propagation around offshore pipelines is naturally complex and is mainly due to currents and/or waves. There is a considerable demand for the safe design of offshore pipelines exposed to scouring phenomena. Therefore, scouring propagation patterns must be focused on. In the present research, machine learning (ML) models are applied to achieve equations for the prediction of the scouring propagation rate around pipelines due to currents. The approaching flow Froude number, the ratio of embedment depth to pipeline diameter, the Shields parameter, and the current angle of attack to the pipeline were considered the main dimensionless factors from the reliable literature. ML models were developed based on various setting parameters and optimization strategies coming from evolutionary and classification contents. Moreover, the explicit equations yielded from ML models were used to demonstrate how the proposed approaches are in harmony with experimental observations. The performance of ML models was assessed utilizing statistical benchmarks. The results revealed that the equations given by ML models provided reliable and physically consistent predictions of scouring propagation rates regarding their comparison with scouring tests.

— The aim of the study is to compare the level of oral hygiene practices among students with hearing disabilities and well-hearing university students. Materials and Methods. The level of hygienic knowledge was studied using the sociological research method (questionnaire) among students with hearing disabilities at Penza Medical College, specialty "Orthopedic Dentistry" and their peers — students of Dentistry Department at the Penza State University. 60 students took part in the study. The average age of the subjects was 19.5±0.85 years. Results and Discussion. The results of the study indicate a weak motivation to preserve dental health, insufficient awareness of the means and methods of oral hygiene among hearing-impaired students compared with their peers. In the university students all the survey indicators were 1.5–2 times higher than in the hearing-impaired college students. This indicates an insufficient specialized education and awareness as a consequence of hearing limitations. Conclusion. It is necessary to strengthen dental education in students with hearing impairments, taking into account the specifics of communication and the worldview of this population. This can be achieved through educational videos and options for free preventive dental services.

Observation of unconventional spin-polarization induced spin–orbit torque in L12-ordered antiferromagnetic Mn3Pt thin films
Authors: Yu Longjie , Karube Shutaro , Liu Min , Tsunoda Masakiyo , Oogane Mikihiko , Ando Yasuo
Published: February 2022

Non-collinear antiferromagnets exhibit richer magneto-transport properties compared to nonmagnetic materials due to the topological spin structure they possess, which allows us to manipulate the charge-spin conversion more freely by taking advantage of the chirality. In this work, we explore the unconventional spin–orbit torque of L12-ordered Mn3Pt with a triangular spin structure. We observed an unconventional spin–orbit torque along the x-direction for the (001)-oriented L12 Mn3Pt and found that it has a sign reversal behavior relative to the crystalline orientation. This generation of unconventional spin–orbit torque can be interpreted as stemming from the magnetic spin Hall effect.

Background: Malaria is still thriving despite efforts to eradicate the disease. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of malaria and treatment-seeking behaviour among university students in Ikot Akpaden campus of Akwa Ibom State University Methods: A cross-sectional study on 700 undergraduate students randomly selected was carried out between July to December 2017 in Akwa Ibom State University. Structured questionnaires were administered to collect data. Microscopy and Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDT) were done to determine parasitaemia for students who voluntarily consented to be tested. Chi-square test at P< 0.05 was used to evaluate the prevalence of malaria and the differences in the student’s attitude on malaria treatment and prevention practices. Results: Of the 500 students who filled the questionnaire, 100 students consented to undergo the test, 56 (56%) were males, while 44 (44%) were females. Only15 students (17.86%) were positive for both microscopy and RDT. Malaria prevalence by microscopy (84%) was significantly higher than RDT (27%). Fever and head-ache were the most common symptoms recorded. RDT had a sensitivity of 17.86%, a specificity of 25%, a positive predictive value of 55.56%, and a negative predictive value of 5.48%. Conclusion: This study revealed a higher prevalence of malaria by microscopy than RDT among the students, indicating that the use of RDTs is limited. RDTS may have more usefulness in remote areas, but microscopy remains the reference technique. Overall, 96.2% knew about malaria while 85.3% knew mosquito bites cause malaria. The majority, 69.2%, of participants go for malaria test as the first action when malaria is suspected, 83% use antimalarial combination therapy medication, and 62.6% sought treatment of malaria immediately.

Authors: KARSLI Birkan
Published: February 2022

This study is aimed to evaluate the postoperative results of the operations performed with the dowel pin technique in metacarpal (Mc) and metatarsal (Mt) fractures of cats, clinically and radiologically. A retrospective evaluation was carried out for 10 cats with Mc and Mt fractures by performing clinical and radiographic examinations for an average of 4.5 months after surgery using the dowel pin technique. In the evaluation, the number of fractures, fracture type and localization, fracture healing, and postoperative complications resulting from clinical and radiographic results, postoperative observations, and the animal owners' observations in the postoperative process were considered. Questionnaires made to animal owners were evaluated. Clinical and radiographic evaluation of the cats included in the study was performed. After the 12th week of the study, there was no information from two cats. Nine of the clients (90%) reported no significant change in their cat's walking after treatment. One client reported that after 4 weeks postoperatively, the cat kept its extremity at rest and suffered from persistent lameness at a minimal level. In conclusion, despite the limited case series of the study, it is seen that the dowel pin technique is a simple, economic, effective, and reliable method for the surgical healing of Mc and Mt bone fractures.
The Sun Doesn't Always Shine in Ohio: Reevaluating Renewable Portfolio Standards in Light of Changed Conditions
Authors: Smith Jeffrey
Published: February 2022

In 2014, with the signing of Senate Bill 310 (S.B. 310), Ohio became the first state to put a temporary “freeze” on its renewable portfolio standard (RPS) and energy efficiency mandates. The law has generated nationwide attention and been criticized as a step back in the state’s clean energy policy. This Note examines the central justifications for the passage of S.B. 310, challenging conventional wisdom that the law does not serve the interests of Ohio citizens. After the passage of Ohio’s RPS in 2008, the economic and energy landscape within the state changed dramatically, due in large part to technological advances allowing for the development of the state’s large natural gas deposits. In order to fully assess these changed conditions, as well as the economic impact the energy mandates were having on ratepayers, Ohio lawmakers passed S.B. 310. While renewable resource advocates argue that increased renewable energy benefits the state of Ohio, this Note argues that S.B. 310 was an example of prudent lawmaking and should serve as a model for other states that have undergone changes in their energy landscape and economic situation since implementing their renewable portfolio standards.
Reworking the Revolution: Treasury Rulemaking & Administrative Law
Authors: Berke David
Published: February 2022

How administrative law applies to tax rulemaking is an open and contested question. The resolution of this question has high stakes for the U.S. tax system. The paradigm is shifting away from so-called “tax exceptionalism”—where Treasury action is considered effectively exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act (the “APA”) and related administrative law doctrines. This paradigm-shift is salutary. However, currently prevailing anti-exceptionalist theory—an administrative framework for tax that is rapidly gaining credence within both the federal judiciary and the legal academy—threatens to destabilize the U.S. tax system. This formalistic approach to administrative law in tax rulemaking has the potential to invalidate a wide swath of existing Treasury regulations and to preclude the timely promulgation of new tax rules.

This Article argues that these two existing theories of tax administration— exceptionalism and anti-exceptionalism—are inadequate, often for complementary reasons. This Article’s critique then supports its proposals for tax rulemaking processes that comply with the APA, but in a workable manner that does not upend established tax law. These proposals provide an intellectual and practical middle ground between the exceptionalists and anti-exceptionalists.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the challenges faced by primary education integration schools leaders' in organizational culture and recognize the mechanisms of improving organizational culture for these leaders. The research study used the descriptive analytical approach, and the research population consisted of special education teachers in primary schools of integration in Riyadh. The participants comprised a total of 100 randomly selected special education teachers in the integration primary schools in Riyadh. To achieve the goals of the study, the questionnaire was used to collect information. The results showed that the level of leaders’ use of organizational culture was high (56%), which requires more efforts to continue this high level of organizational culture and even try to increase it. Also, all the challenges mentioned in the questionnaire were agreed upon by the parameters as challenges that hinder the activation of organizational culture with high rates between (somewhat agree and agree to some extent) where the corresponding proportions ranged between 85% to 98%, which requires taking these challenges seriously and trying to find a solution to activate the organizational culture. The study recommended empowering the leader of the integration school to manage integration programs efficiently and nominating leaders of integration schools for training programs specialized in activating organizational culture.

Published: February 2022

Voyageurs National Park (VNP) is a water-based park that includes part or all of four large lakes and twenty-six smaller lakes commonly referred to as “interior lakes”. The 26 interior lakes of VNP are important aquatic resources with differing size and depth, water chemistry, trophic status, fish communities, and visitor use. Despite the remote location of these lakes, they have been impacted by multiple stressors, including contaminants and non-native species. This assessment provides key information in support of a science-based management plan for these lakes. The objectives of this assessment were to: 1) assess the status of each of the interior lakes and categorically rank the lakes from least to most impacted; 2) use the results to make specific science-based management and restoration recommendations for the most impacted lakes; and 3) make general recommendations that may be useful in managing all of Voyageurs National Park’s interior lakes. When all factors considered in this analysis (water quality, fish mercury concentrations, and fish community characteristics) were combined and assessed, thirteen lakes were classified as most impacted, nine as moderately impacted, and three as least impacted. Although nearly half of the lakes were classified as most impacted in this assessment, many of these lakes are in excellent condition compared to other lakes in the region. The factor-by-factor impact status of the lakes was considered to help describe the condition of the lakes and the potential for restoration. No local management options were identified to mitigate the mercury contamination in these lakes as research has shown the sources of the contamination to arrive from regional and global sources. Similarly, no management actions were identified to reduce nutrient concentrations in the lakes ranked most impacted for nutrient conditions as these are remote lakes with minimal or no development within their watersheds, and it was also noted that paleolimnological studies have shown that the nutrient status of the interior lakes was relatively unchanged from pre-European settlement conditions. Finally, for the lakes in which presumed introduced fish species are present, piscicides were considered as a potential management action. Piscicides were not recommended as a strategy to eradicate introduced fish species as it was determined that genetic conservation of the populations of native fish species still present in these lakes was more valuable than eradicating the introduced species.
Hamstring weakness at 90° flexion of involved knee as an indicator of the function deficit in males after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR)
Authors: Balki Selvin , Eldemir Sefa
Published: February 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to elucidate predictors on knee function following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon graft or allograft and to detect the differences between it and the healthy controls. Methods: This study comprised of 46 males, aged 18–45, being within 6–60 months following unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and 50 healthy men. Measurements included the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-17, the self-reported knee function with the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Tegner activity scale and handheld dynamometry the hamstring/quadriceps femoris muscle testing at 90° of flexion. Regression analyses were performed to predict the knee function in the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction group. Results: The anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction group showed significantly lower Tegner activity and hamstring/quadriceps femoris strength, higher kinesiophobia and worse Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (p < 0.05). Their Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Sport/Recrection, Quality of Life and –Total values were modestly associated with the satisfaction with prior rehabilitation, activity level, graft type, kinesiophobia, time since the reconstruction and hamstring strength (p < 0.05). The hamstring strength was the only important predictor of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Total (p < 0.01). The involved knee handheld dynamometrymass normalize-hamstring strength at 90° of flexion predicted 20.5% of the variance in the knee function. Conclusions: Presence of a decreased handheld dynamometry-mass normalized-hamstring strength result at hyper-flexion after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in men may indicate self-reported knee function disorder
Kinematics and workspace analysis of a robotic device for performing rehabilitation therapy of upper limb in stroke-affected patients
Authors: Valayil Tony Punnoose , Augustine Rose Shaji
Published: February 2022

Purpose: Exoskeleton robots generally have multi-functions and one such function is doing rehabilitation therapy in upper limb and lower limb in stroke-affected patients. A novel hybrid (serial-parallel) robot manipulator was proposed in this paper for rehabilitation of upper limb and its kinematics are studied systematically. This robot manipulator intends to perform wrist flexion, wrist extension, wrist radial deviation, wrist ulnar deviation, elbow flexion, elbow extension, elbow pronation and elbow supination motions. The contemporary mechanical designs especially the kinematic structure of upper limb exoskeleton robots have a unique feature that is, almost all of them use serial manipulators, and few others used parallel manipulators. The kinematic structure of the proposed robot is that of a hybrid manipulator (two parallel manipulators connected in series) which has 4-degrees-of-freedom. It is composed of an upper 3SPS-type parallel manipulator and 2SPR-type parallel manipulator connected in series. Methods: The Jacobian and Hessian Matrix method was used to derive the manipulator kinematic formula for solving the displacement, velocity and acceleration. Results: A 3D model of the robotic arm was constructed and analyzed by simulation. The positioning workspace of manipulator was constructed and analyzed. Conclusions: The 3SPS-type parallel manipulator has good kinematic characteristics while performing wrist motions. The 2SPR-type parallel manipulator produced singular configuration, while performing the desired rehabilitation elbow motions, it was found to not be suitable for usage in performing rehabilitation therapy in stroke-affected patients.

One new species of Bundoksia Lucañas, 2021 from China is described. We construct a haplotype network from 21 COI sequences to display the relationships amongst populations of Bundoksia longissimasp. nov., mainly from Hainan Island, Yunnan Province and Guangxi Province, China. For the first time, we provide the details of female genitalia in addition to the known external morphology and male genitalia of the genus. Six molecular markers (12S, 16S, 18S, 28S, COI and COII) from a total of 38 samples, including three samples of Bundoksia longissimasp. nov., are used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees using Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) to assess the phylogenetic affinities of Bundoksia. Photographs of the morphology and a key to the three Bundoksia species are also provided.
