Assessment of Environmental Water Requirement Allocation in Anthropogenic Rivers with a Hydropower Dam Using Hydrologically Based Methods—Case Study
Authors: Hamidifar Hossein , Akbari Farzaneh , Rowiński Paweł M.
Published: March 2022

Anthropogenic activities such as damming have caused an alteration in the natural flow regime in many rivers around the world. In this study, the role of constructing a hydroelectric dam on the natural flow regime of the Kor River, Iran, is investigated. Nine different methods, which fall into the category of hydrological methods, were used to determine the environmental water requirement (EWR) of the Kor River. In addition, two indices are introduced to evaluate the environmental flow allocation in anthropogenic rivers. The results show that although the supply of environmental flow in some months is in relatively acceptable conditions on average, there is a deficiency in the allocation of EWR in the range of 1.92–30.2% in the spawning period of the dominant fish species. The proposed indicators can provide a general picture of the status of environmental flow allocation in rivers where little ecological data is available and the hydrological regime has changed due to human activities, particularly in rivers with hydropower plants. Moreover, after the construction of the dam, no major floods have occurred in the river, which has led to the loss of the morpho-ecological balance in the river and disruption of the natural state of habitats. Therefore, the negative impact of dam construction on the environmental conditions of the river should be considered in the active management of the dam outlets.

Published: March 2022

Iron salt-modified biochar has been widely used to remove Cr(VI) pollution due to the combination of the generated iron oxides and biochar, which can bring positive charge and rich redox activity. However, there are few comprehensive studies on the methods of modifying biochar with different iron salts. In this study, two iron salt (FeCl3 and Fe(NO3)3) modification methods were used to prepare two Fe-modified biochar materials for removing Cr(VI) in simulated groundwater environment. It was revealed by systematic characterization that FeCl3@BC prepared via the FeCl3 modification method, has larger pore size, higher zeta potential and iron oxide content, and has higher Cr(VI) adsorption-reduction performance efficiency as compared to Fe(NO3)3@BC prepared via Fe(NO3)3 modification method. Combined with XRD and XPS analyses, Fe3O4 is the key active component for the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The experimental results have shown that acidic conditions promoted Cr(VI) removal, while competing ions (SO42− and PO43−) inhibited Cr(VI) removal by FeCl3@BC. The Elovich model and intra-particle diffusion model of FeCl3@BC can describe the adsorption behavior of Cr(VI) well, indicating that both the high activation energy adsorption process and intra-particle diffusion control the removal process of Cr(VI). The Freundlich model (R2 > 0.999) indicated that there were unevenly distributed chemisorptions centers on the FeCl3@BC surface. Stability experiments exposed that FeCl3@BC was stable under neutral, acidic, and alkaline conditions. Furthermore, the main mechanisms of FeCl3@BC removal of Cr(VI) include electrostatic adsorption, chemical reduction, ion exchange, and co-precipitation. In conclusion, our findings provide a new insight for the selection of iron salt-modified biochar methods, and will also be beneficial for the preparation of more efficient Fe-modified biochars in the future.
Development of Rainfall Intensity, Duration and Frequency Relationship on a Daily and Sub-Daily Basis (Case Study: Yalamlam Area, Saudi Arabia)
Authors: Kawara Atef Q. , Elsebaie Ibrahim H.
Published: March 2022

Realistic runoff estimates are crucial for the accurate design of stormwater drainage systems, particularly in developing urban catchments which are prone to overland flow and street inundation following extreme rainstorms. This paper derives new intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves for the Yalamlam area in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These curves were obtained based on daily rainfall measurements and, in some short durations, across the entire study area over 30 years. The study is based on applying two distributions—the Log-Pearson type III and Gumbel—to estimate the average rainfall for the different return periods. The results show that there are slight differences between the Log-Pearson type III distribution and the Gumbel distribution, so the average parameters were used to construct the IDF curve in the Yalamlam area. The maximum daily rainfall was converted into sub-daily intervals using two methods and compared with the observed value. The new ratios were calculated using the converting rainfall from daily to sub-daily. These ratios are recommended for application in the Yalamlam area if there are no short-time-interval data available. The following ratios for 1-day rainfall were proposed: 0.37, 0.40, 0.46, 0.53, 0.61, 0.66, 0.70, 0.76, 0.80, and 0.87 for 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, and 12 h rainfall, respectively. The developed IDF curve for the Yalamlam district was built based on the daily and sub-daily observed data.

Authors: Tan Wei Beng , Szücs Anna , Burkill Sarah M , Hui Ong Shih , Young Doris , Hoon Goh Lay
Published: March 2022

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in the older population. By 2035, approximately one-quarter of Singapore residents are expected to have CKD. Many of these patients are not referred to nephrologists.

Aim

To compare the characteristics of older patients (aged ≥65 years) with CKD stage ≥3B in the referral and non-referral groups.

Design & settings

A cross-sectional study in the primary care organisation National University Polyclinics (NUP), Singapore.

Method

Retrospective data were extracted from the electronic health records of patients with CKD (aged ≥65 years) with CKD stage ≥3B.

Results

From 1 January–31 December 2018, a total of 1536 patients aged ≥65 years were diagnosed with CKD stage ≥3B (non-referral group = 1179 versus referral group = 357). The mean patient age in the non-referral group (78.4 years) was older than that in the referral group (75.9 years) (P<0.001). Indian older patients were referred more compared with their Chinese counterparts (P = 0.008). The non-referral group was prescribed significantly less fibrate, statins, insulin, sulfonylureas, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors, and antiplatelet than the referral group (P<0.05), but only the difference in fibrates remained significant on subsequent multivariate analysis.

Conclusion

This study demonstrates that there is a considerable number of older patients with CKD exclusively managed in the primary care setting (n = 1179) and that referrals primarily depend on demographic factors, namely age and ethnic group, rather than medical determinants of CKD severity or case complexity.

Authors: Minyar-Beloroucheva Alla , Sergienko Polina
Published: March 2022

The paper deals with the competences development within L2 learning and teaching undergraduates majoring in public relations (PR) in the Digital Age. The purpose of the current investigation is to demonstrate the transition from hard skills to soft skills education, applied within the frames of learner-oriented approach. Individual educational trajectories (IET) are being promoted to be implemented at universities worldwide. Teachers’ role has been changed significantly, since the education of the Industrial Epoch with its teaching aims and methods as well as practices does not correspond to the needs of the Digital Age education. The lecturer’s recital of the information contained in textbooks is no longer relevant. Instead of the master of the class, educators have become undergraduates’ assistants. PR undergraduates’ L2 learning-teaching process is concentrated on the usage of digital technologies for autonomous work, as well as for creating self-standing projects in the form of mind mapping, audio, video podcasts and others. The aim of the investigation is to demonstrate the necessity and relevant practice to develop within PR undergraduates not only six competences (6Cs) acknowledged by CEFR, but eight competences (8Cs) to secure successful L2 language acquisition in the globalizing world of the Digital Age. In conclusion, it has been shown that competency-based education is the most relevant at present.

Published: March 2022

Background: Although investigating the probable side effects of post intraoperative radiotherapy wound fluid secretion (PIWFS) is crucial, especially in clinical cases, no report has been published on the effect of PIWFS on the remaining tumor cells (in the vital state) in cavity side margins or surrounding regions. These tumor cells might be directly/indirectly exposed to intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT). Here, for the first time, we investigated the effect of PIWFS on tumor cells of the same patient extracted from the excised tumor in the spheroid form. Methods: We generated 8 human-derived breast tumor spheroids from 4 patient specimens who received to IORT, dissociated and cultured them in microfluidic devices. The spheroids from each sample were treated with the patients’ PIWFS and DMEM medium separately. Two different parameters, called area and number of detached cells (NDCs), were determined and investigated to evaluate the spheroids’ vital and proliferative states. Results: The results showed severe transformation in tumor spheroids’ function into more invasive and proliferative functions after treatment with PIWFS. Conclusion: Although the radiation-induced bystander effect may have a role in this observation, further experiments must be done to better clarify the probable desired or non-desired effects of post-IORT secretion for both the remaining tumor cells and the surrounding immune cells.

Published: March 2022

Background: The financing function within a health system is considered inherently complex, so it is of utmost importance to design a suitable future for this system given uncertainties and complexities of the environment. With regard to the current and future complicated conditions, health system financing is also likely to succeed if it can anticipate the impacts of effective factors in the future and further plan appropriate interventions ahead of time. Thus, the purpose of this study was to develop scenarios for the health system financing in Iran. Methods: This mixed-design research of exploratory future studies type was conducted using the scenario method. In this respect, the key variables were evaluated using a questionnaire from two aspects of importance and uncertainty as well as formation of a future studies group (focus group). Finally, sensitivity analysis was carried out through cross-impact balance (CIB) analysis using the Scenario Wizard (Version 4.31) software. Results: A total of 25 factors were selected based on the type and the position of the variables (driving force, bi-dimensional, risk, secondary leverage or modifiable-to-secondary leverage) over the diameter of the MICMAC chart. Considering the degree of significance and uncertainty, eight variables including all four driving force variables (oil sales and economic blockade, leadership and advocacy, bureaucracy and corruption, and possibility of using information technology in providing services), as well as the variables of resource sustainability, natural disasters, regional security, and specialization culture were chosen. Then, five variables were finalized as the key changes that would create the scenario based on sensitivity analysis and final expert opinions. According to the defined conditions, 270 scenarios were developed, of which fourteen scenarios were identified as poorly adaptable and five cases as highly adaptable. Conclusion: The best scenario identified in this study based on the degree of adaptation included the use of massive technology and oil sales, mediocre economic conditions with high probability of occurrence, strong leadership and advocacy, high regional security, as well as bureaucracy and low corruption with medium probability of occurrence.

Authors: Alahyari Sam , Rajaeinejad Mohsen , Jalaeikhoo Hasan , Amani Davar
Published: March 2022

Background: Severe cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) often experience hyper-inflammatory reactions, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), blood clotting, and organ damage. The most prominent immunopathology of advanced COVID-19 is cytokine release syndrome, or "cytokine storm" which is attributed to a defect of immune-regulating mechanisms. This study aimed to evaluate the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) as one of the main cells that maintain immune homeostasis. Methods: A systematic search was performed on PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar. All English articles related to Treg’s role in COVID-19 were extracted and evaluated by two researchers independently. Study eligibility was assessed based on modified Evidence-based librarianship (EBL) checklist. Results: Nineteen eligible studies comparing Treg cells in COVID-19 patients with the control group or comparing alterations of this cell in severe and moderate patients were evaluated. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the increase or decrease of Tregs in COVID-19 patients compared to the control group. However, it was observed that Tregs in severe COVID-19 patients were significantly lower than moderate patients, resulting in uncontrolled inflammation and cytokine storm. Conclusion: Regulatory T cells can be one of the determinants of disease severity and prognosis in patients with COVID-19 by inhibiting rampant inflammation and preventing cytokine storms.

Because of its importance, teaching children to brush their teeth properly is necessary to do since their childhood. Wrong behavior in brushing teeth can affect teeth and mouth’s health such as causing dental caries (Wiradona, 2013). Recently, many schools in Indonesia have already given the education about how to brush teeth properly through the program of School Health Dental Unit (UKGS) since 1951 (Kemenkes, 2012). One of the reasons to do this community empowerment was because there were children who were still reluctant to brush their teeth. It happened because their parents had lack knowledge about how to teach their children to brush teeth properly. To overcome this, the education about how to brush teeth properly was given by using leaflet and video given to the parents so that they could teach their children to do this, therefore the prevalence of dental caries in children could be reduced. After getting the education about how to brush teeth properly, it showed a significant increase of the knowledge indicating by the initial average value of 50 increasing to 95.AbtrakPentingnya perilaku menyikat gigi dengan benar haruslah diajarkan sejak dini, karena perilaku menyikat gigi yang salah akan berdampak terhadap kesehatan gigi dan mulut seseorang, salah satu dampak yang ditimbulkan adalah karies gigi (Wiradona, 2013). Saat ini sekolah-sekolah di Indonesia sudah memberikan pendidikan mengenai cara menyikat gigi melalui program UKGS yang sudah berjalan sejak tahun 1951 (Kemenkes, 2012). Salah satu alasan dilakukan pengabdian masyarakat ini karena masih ditemukan anak yang malas untuk menggosok gigi. Hal ini disebabkan karena orang tua belum tau caranya mengajarkan menggosok gigi pada anak. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut dilakukan pemberian edukasi cara menggosok gigi yang benar dengan media leaflet dan video yang diberikan kepada orang tua agar dapat mengajarkan anaknya cara menggosok gigi yang benar sehingga prevalensi karies pada anak akan terus menurun. Setelah diberikan penyuluhan tentang menggosok gigi yang benar terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan yang cukup signifikan yaitu dari nilai rata-rata 50 meningkat menjadi 95 setelah diberikan penyuluhan.

Changes in disease patterns in Indonesia in the last 30 years show that the biggest causes of death and illness are no longer infectious and contagious diseases, but non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke. Various young people to the elderly, with varying economic levels experience this disease. It is feared that the morbidity rate will continue to increase, along with the lifestyle of people who are not physically active. This non-communicable disease (PTM), although it looks like a harmless disease, requires long-term treatment. The conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic caused anxiety both about the course of the disease in prolanis patients and anxiety about exposure to the CoV virus. The purpose of this activity is to provide education, increase prolanis patient adherence to therapy and prevent excessive anxiety that can cause mental health problems during the Covid-19 pandemic. Health monitoring including medication adherence is carried out through the HARMONIC POCKET BOOK. The level of understanding of the participants is obtained from filling out a questionnaire through a link, which is then analyzed using statistics and percentage values. Based on the results of the posttest, through online counseling activities can improve understanding of the material with a p value of 0.00 and some 90% of participants have a level of understanding in the good and very good categories.abstrakPerubahan pola penyakit di Indonesia dalam 30 tahun terakhir ini, menunjukkan bahwa penyebab kematian dan kesakitan terbesar bukan lagi penyakit infeksi dan menular, tetapi penyakit tidak menular seperti DM, jantung, stroke.
