Guidance on evaluating parametric model uncertainty at decision-relevant scales
Authors: Smith Jared D. , Lin Laurence , Quinn Julianne D. , Band Lawrence E.
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Spatially distributed hydrological models are commonly employed to optimize the locations of engineering control measures across a watershed. Yet, parameter screening exercises that aim to reduce the dimensionality of the calibration search space are typically completed only for gauged locations, like the watershed outlet, and use screening metrics that are relevant to calibration instead of explicitly describing the engineering decision objectives. Identifying parameters that describe physical processes in ungauged locations that affect decision objectives should lead to a better understanding of control measure effectiveness. This paper provides guidance on evaluating model parameter uncertainty at the spatial scales and flow magnitudes of interest for such decision-making problems. We use global sensitivity analysis to screen parameters for model calibration, and to subsequently evaluate the appropriateness of using multipliers to adjust the values of spatially distributed parameters to further reduce dimensionality. We evaluate six sensitivity metrics, four of which align with decision objectives and two of which consider model residual error that would be considered in spatial optimizations of engineering designs. We compare the resulting parameter selection for the basin outlet and each hillslope. We also compare basin outlet results for four calibration-relevant metrics. These methods were applied to a RHESSys ecohydrological model of an exurban forested watershed near Baltimore, MD, USA. Results show that (1) the set of parameters selected by calibration-relevant metrics does not include parameters that control decision-relevant high and low streamflows, (2) evaluating sensitivity metrics at the basin outlet misses many parameters that control streamflows in hillslopes, and (3) for some multipliers, calibrating all parameters in the set being adjusted may be preferable to using the multiplier if parameter sensitivities are significantly different, while for others, calibrating a subset of the parameters may be preferable if they are not all influential. Thus, we recommend that parameter screening exercises use decision-relevant metrics that are evaluated at the spatial scales appropriate to decision making. While including more parameters in calibration will exacerbate equifinality, the resulting parametric uncertainty should be important to consider in discovering control measures that are robust to it.

Authors: Yang Qing , Zhao Jianyu , Dreyer Frederik , Krüger Daniel , Anders Jens
Published: May 2022

Abstract. In this paper, we present a custom-designed nuclear
magnetic resonance (NMR) platform based on a broadband complementary
metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) NMR-on-a-chip transceiver and a synchronous
reference signal generator, which features arbitrary phase control of the
excitation pulse in combination with phase-coherent detection at a non-zero
intermediate frequency (IF). Moreover, the presented direct digital
synthesis (DDS)-based frequency generator enables a digital temperature
compensation scheme similar to classical field locking without the need for
additional hardware. NMR spectroscopy and relaxometry measurements verify
the functionality of the proposed frequency reference and temperature
compensation scheme as well as the overall state-of-the-art performance of
the presented system.
Evaluation of low-level jets in the Southern Baltic Sea: a comparison between ship-based lidar observational data and numerical models
Authors: Rubio Hugo , Kühn Martin , Gottschall Julia
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Ship-based lidar measurements from the NEWA Ferry Lidar Experiment have been used together with ERA5 and numerical data from the NEWA wind atlas to analyze low-level jets over the Southern Baltic Sea with the following main objectives: (1) to evaluate the performance of ship-mounted lidar observations to investigate low-level jet properties along the region covered by the ship track and (2) to compare these observations with numerical simulations to better understand their capacities and limitations in retrieving the characteristics of this mesoscale phenomenon. Most in situ measurement devices can only retrieve wind characteristics in a fixed location. However, the findings of this study show that the non-stationary nature of ship-based lidar systems allows them to capture the variability of the jets' characteristics due to both temporal and spatial effects. The models struggle with accurately capturing the jet features, although they can properly identify their trend in the different locations along the ship track. The found results are strongly influenced by the characteristics of the observations, such as the data availability or the profile height limitation, as well as by the features of the jets, with a particular relevance of core height and fall-off. Additionally, the results illustrate the temporal and spatial shift between the jets detected by the measurements and the models and the potential benefit of considering such deviations when studying low-level jets' climatology through numerical modes.

Актуальность исследования заключается в оценке устойчивости результатов проекта «Профессиональная подготовка» государственной программы занятости. Цель статьи выявить объективные и субъективные факторы, оказывающие влияние на конечные результаты проекта для разработки рекомендаций по их улучшению. Методология исследования базируется на социологическом опросе 182 выпускников проекта через 1-1,5 года после его окончания. Результаты опроса обработаны в программе PLS-PM. Структурное моделирование выявило сильные и слабые стороны проекта. Сильной стороной проекта является достаточно высокий уровень удовлетворенности участников. Одновременно с этим, почти 40% через 1-1,5 года после выхода из проекта не имеют трудового контракта и 36% отметили отсутствие связи своей настоящей занятости с проектом. Положительная связь между участием в проекте и наличием официального трудового контракта по истечении времени наблюдается только у 55% участников. Уровень конкурентоспособности на рынке труда и мотивация участника проекта оказывают на его статус в настоящее время большее влияние, в отличие от таких характеристик как место проживания, год окончания последнего учебного заведения, ступень образования. Профилирование и индивидуальный подход к соискателю позволят снизить риски проекта со стороны Центров занятости.

The relevance of the study lies in assessing the sustainability of the results of the "Vocational Training" project of the state employment program. The purpose of the article is to identify objective and subjective factors influencing the final results of the project in order to develop recommendations for their improvement. The research methodology is based on a sociological survey of 182 project graduates 1-1.5 years after its completion. The survey results were processed in the PLS-PM program. Structural modeling highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of the project. The strong point of the project is the rather high level of participant satisfaction. At the same time, almost 40%, 1-1.5 years after leaving the project, do not have an employment contract, and 36% noted the lack of connection between their real employment and the project. A positive relationship between participation in the project and the presence of an official labor contract after the expiration of time is observed in only 55% of the participants. The level of competitiveness in the labor market and the motivation of the project participant has a greater impact on his status at the present time, in contrast to such characteristics as place of residence, year of graduation from the last educational institution, level of education. Profiling and an individual approach to the applicant will reduce the risks of the project on the part of the Employment Centers.

Three spectrophotometric approaches for measuring ratio spectra of Ivabradine and Carvedilol in a binary mixture using green analytical principles
Authors: Chanduluru Hemanth Kumar , Sugumaran Abimanyu
Published: May 2022

The development of three simple, precise, efficient, and accurate spectrophotometric techniques that manipulate ratio spectra is undertaken to measure Ivabradine and Carvedilol simultaneously in bulk and tablet formulation. Applying mathematical calculations like the ratio derivative, first-order ratio derivative and ratio derivative subtraction method has been used for determination of CVD and IBD. For Carvedilol, the calibration curve is linear between concentrations of 40–65 µg/mL and 50–81.25 µg/mL for Ivabradine. These strategies have been put into practice and used for analyzing marketed pharmaceutical formulations. Further, the outliers were statistically assessed by using Grubb’s test and found, as null hypothesis cannot be rejected. The suggested approach was evaluated using four green evaluation approaches with which these tools found an excellent green outcome. Altogether, the proposed method was found to be a simple, sensitive, accurate and eco-friendly method for the analysis of drugs that have overlapping properties in the UV spectrum.

Published: May 2022

Spodopetra Frugiperda is a highly polyphagous migratory lepidopteran pest species. It causes infestation in crops leading to severe crop losses. Being a new invasive parasite, its susceptibility to insecticides needs to be explored and therefore, there is an urgent need to develop the potent insecticides for the effective control of this insect pest. This is the first report on toxic effects produced by the prepared chalcone and hydrazone analogs, followed by structure relationships. Five compounds of chalcone and hydrazone derivatives have been synthesized in pure state as reported procedures, and their toxicity as potential insecticidal agent against Spodopetra Frugiperda was screened. Their characterizations by using spectroscopic analyses were performed. The toxicity data exhibited that compound 5 is more toxic about 2-fold than other synthesized compounds, the other screened compounds showed weak to strong toxicological activity against Spodopetra Frugiperda (lepidoptera: Noctuidae).

A series of isoxazole derivatives, 3-aryl-5-[5-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-furyl]-2,3-dihydroisoxazoles (5a-j) were synthesized by cyclocondensation reaction between 1-aryl-3-[5-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-furyl]prop-2-en-1-ones (4a-j) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride in presence of sodium acetate in glacial acetic acid at reflux temperature. Formerly, compounds (4a-j) were synthesized by the condensation of 5-(4-nitrophenyl) furan-2-carbaldehyde (3) with various aromatic ketones by using alkali as catalyst. The structures of the synthesized various isoxazole have been characterized by using elemental analysis, Infrared,1H-NMR spectroscopy and further supported by Mass spectroscopy. All the products have been screened for their in-vitro biological assay like antibacterial activity towards Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains and antifungal activity towards Aspergillus niger at a concentration of 40 µg/ml. It was exposed that the compounds 5a, 5c, 5e, 5f, and 5i showed inspiring antibacterial and antifungal activity compared to the used reference standard.

Published: May 2022

El emprendimiento incide fuertemente en el crecimiento económico del Ecuador. El país se caracteriza por tener niveles de emprendimientos muy altos en comparación con otros países de la región. Sin embargo, para que el espíritu emprendedor pueda prosperar es necesaria la creación de un ecosistema empresarial dinámico y sostenible. El presente trabajo de investigación plantea la importancia y características del entorno emprendedor local actual, y se definen propuestas para mejorar su ecosistema en el Ecuador. A partir de un método cuantitativo basado en una encuesta representativa del entorno emprendedor, los resultados proporcionan una evaluación en profundidad del ecosistema empresarial. Se evidencia que los emprendedores sufren problemas estructurales, sintomáticos de un ecosistema que no favorece su desarrollo. Luego se plantean estrategias para mejorar el entorno del emprendedor en el Ecuador, basadas en cuatro ejes determinantes para que los emprendimientos se mantengan y logren crecer en el tiempo: la educación y formación en emprendimiento; acceso al financiamiento; innovación y adopción tecnológica; así como simplificación burocrática para la creación de nuevos emprendimientos.

Published: May 2022

El presente artículo tiene como finalidad indagar sobre el cumplimiento de los estándares de los factores del Sistema de Gestión de Calidad en las empresas ecuatorianas, para proyectar su sostenibilidad a corto y largo plazo. La gestión de la calidad es una mezcla entre la filosofía y la metodología organizacional para afrontar problemas complejos. De allí que el concepto de calidad está estrechamente relacionado con el impacto económico, social y ambiental que produce la actividad empresarial y, por ende, con el desarrollo de un país. El estudio realizado es descriptivo, de campo y con enfoque cuantitativo; para esto se realizó la encuesta a 323 empresas con los ítems de factores contemplados en las normas ISO 9001:2015. La principal conclusión es que la mayoría de las empresas ecuatorianas no cumplen con los estándares de gestión de calidad por lo cual se ve comprometida la sostenibilidad empresarial en función de alinearse a las necesidades y dinamismo de los mercados y de la sociedad en general. Por último, el factor con el mayor nivel de cumplimiento fue la planificación y el de menor proporción fue la mejora continua. Esto implica que las empresas toman sus previsiones, pero no realizan la evaluación y el seguimiento de las actividades planificadas.

Evaluation of Intrathecal Injection of Modified Live Newcastle Disease Virus Vaccine in Dogs with Canine Distemper Encephalitis
Authors: Harkin Kenneth R. , Karote Anushka George
Published: May 2022

The neurological form of canine distemper virus (CDV) infection can occur concurrently with systemic signs or develop following apparent recovery. There are no specific antiviral or immunomodulatory therapies recognized for treatment of CDV infections, and the neurological form typically carries with it a high mortality rate. The intrathecal injection of a modified live Newcastle disease virus vaccine (NDV-MLV) has been proposed for the treatment of the neurological forms of CDV infections. Thirteen dogs confirmed to have canine distemper infections by polymerase chain reaction testing and with neurological signs consistent with CDV infection were treated with an intrathecal injection of NDV-MLV and were scheduled for re-evaluation 3–4 mo later. Six dogs survived to follow-up and four dogs survived long term (>3 yr). Cerebrospinal fluid cytokines were measured and reported. Changes in cerebrospinal fluid cytokines and long-term survival could not be attributed to the intrathecal injection of NDV-MLV, and this therapy cannot be recommended for treatment of dogs with neurological forms of CDV infection.

Published: May 2022

A 9 yr old castrated male miniature schnauzer was diagnosed histopathologically with a mucosal histiocytic sarcoma of the urinary bladder apex, biopsied at the time of surgical cystotomy. Sequential adjuvant chemotherapy, including both lomustine (discontinued because of adverse effects) and then doxorubicin, were employed. A response to both agents was documented. Ultimately, a complete response was achieved following completion of the doxorubicin protocol. A complete response persisted 768 days following diagnosis at last follow-up. Histiocytic sarcoma of the urinary bladder remains a rare diagnosis in veterinary medicine. Only one previous case report is currently published. This case contrasts with the previous case report, which reported a survival of only 2 mo.

Authors: Villedieu Erika , Robinson William , Shales Chris
Published: May 2022

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been uncommonly reported in dogs and is often associated with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS). OSA independent from BOAS has been rarely reported. Treatment of OSA with ondansetron has only been reported in one dog and has not been reported in a breed commonly affected by BOAS. Here, we report the case of a pug with episodes of OSA despite appropriate treatment of BOAS. Administration of ondansetron led to a rapid and near-complete resolution of the clinical signs, with a follow-up of 3 mo. OSA independent of BOAS should be considered as a differential diagnosis in dogs that present for sleep-disordered breathing without exercise intolerance after appropriate treatment for BOAS. Use of certain serotonin antagonists may be useful as a treatment option for these cases.

O objetivo deste estudo foi revisar de forma sistemática a literatura acerca das variáveis psicológicas positivas investigadas em atletas universitários. As buscas foram conduzidas nas bases Lilacs, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scielo, Science Direct, Scopus, Sport Discus e Web of Science. Para a realização da revisão foram seguidas as indicações do modelo Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and MetaAnalyses – Prisma. A análise dos dados e verificação dos indicadores das variáveis psicológicas positivas nos estudos foi realizada a partir da técnica de análise de conteúdo do tipo categorial. A revisão incluiu 11 estudos publicados no período de 2000 a 2020, com caráter quantitativo (91,0%) e qualitativo (9,0%), sendo predominante o delineamento longitudinal nas investigações (n=6; 54,6%). Os atletas participantes das pesquisas, de ambos os sexos, eram representantes de modalidades individuais e coletivas e competiam em nível nacional e internacional. A maioria das pesquisas foi desenvolvida no continente americano e o instrumento mais frequentemente utilizado foi o Adult Trait Hope Scale. Os resultados revelaram, com base na análise de conteúdo, que os indicadores encontrados nos 11 estudos foram agrupados em sete categorias de primeira ordem, sendo seis relacionadas à Psicologia Positiva (competência, fatores sociais, motivação, sentimentos, fatores pessoais e resiliência) e uma categoria contendo as demais variáveis (burnout, carreira atlética, desempenho acadêmico, desempenho atlético e estresse), sendo esta denominada outros fatores. Este estudo concluiu que há um enfoque da Psicologia Positiva sobre o esporte universitário, com pesquisas emergentes abordando o potencial do contexto esportivo sobre o desenvolvimento humano, virtudes e bem-estar dos atletas, abordando a investigação de competências, sentimentos, aspectos pessoais, sociais, motivacionais, bem como as capacidades dos atletas para enfrentamento de intervenientes no esporte e na vida acadêmica. O estudo é dividido em duas partes. Na primeira parte são apresentados os aspectos introdutórios e metodológicos. Na segunda parte são apresentados as discussões relacionadas aos resultados obtidos e conclusões do estudo.

Published: May 2022

Os distúrbios umbilicais são doenças mais comuns que afetam bezerros. o diagnóstico e tratamento precoces são importantes, podendo ser utilizado um tratamento conservador, e o uso de antibiótico não se resolve bem nesses casos. O tratamento cirúrgico alcança melhores resultados, objetivando a remoção completa das estruturas afetadas, sendo o método mais adequado para o tratamento dessas doenças. Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar um estudo de 30 casos de onfalite, dos quais 15 animais foram tratados conservadoramente e 15 submetidos ao tratamento cirúrgico, nos bezerros atendidos na rotina do HV da Unipar durante os anos de 2002 e 2018. Ao exame físico, os animais apresentavam febre, apatia, hiporexia ou anorexia e aumento do volume umbilical, geralmente associado a secreção purulenta, tendo alguns animais apresentando complicações como sepse e artrite. Entre os animais tratados cirurgicamente, 13 (86, 66%) sobreviveram, enquanto entre os tratados clinicamente, apenas 7 (46, 67%) sobreviveram. Os sinais clínicos apresentados por todos os animais examinados eram característicos de onfalite, apresentando secreção purulenta em apenas 60% dos casos. No grupo tratado com cirurgia, a taxa de sobrevivência foi de 86, 66% (13/15 dos animais), e no grupo tratado com antibióticos, foi de 46, 66% (7/15 dos animais). Em outro estudo, a sobrevida foi maior em bezerros submetidos à cirurgia para tratamento de onfalite, recomendando o tratamento apenas com antibiótico nos casos de onfalite. No canada foi observado aumento de sobrevida ao comparar duas técnicas cirúrgicas, encontrando 85% de sobrevida. Porém, isoladamente, a ressecção em bloco, realizada neste estudo, atingiu 100% de sobrevida.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: This examination investigated the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in pre-diabetic and diabetic subjects with insulinaemia. The assessment solidified the human diabetic subjects in the evaluation of the model and took the blood analytes to screen for diabetes. Methodology: 120 male and female human subjects containing forty subjects each for control, pre-diabetics and diabetics facilitated for age, sex, height, weight, and BMI were enrolled into the assessment reliant upon decided measures. All of the three sets of human subjects were males and females independently. Every illustration of blood serum and plasma was explored using Randox and Accubind packs and an autoanalyser to test for various biochemical and hematological limits. Results: The overall results revealed a colossal differentiation (p≤0.05) in the limits except for that of Na+. The 500mg/kg body weight part of the concentrate was ideal while there was a much basic development in the HOMA-IR with potential gains of 0.94±0.04, 2.28±0.17, and 3.25±0.44 for the three sets. The HOMA-IR is an alluring model, as compared to various models previously investigated. This assessment revealed that HOMA-IR works best in the management of diabetes in connection with various models.

Background: Malaria is an arthropod-borne disease caused by Plasmodium. Malaria is a significant public health challenge with about 3.3 billion human lives at risk in 97 countries with two hundred million estimated malaria cases and 600,000 fatalities. Timely diagnosis can prevent disease spread, loss of human lives, and its harmful impact on the economy therefore malaria diagnosis by automated hematology analyzer is of great value. Objective: To assess identification of scattergram abnormalities in malaria samples and to compare its performance with Microscopy, RDTs & PCR. Study Design: Descriptive and cross-sectional study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Pathology, Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences Jamshoro, 06 months from May 2020 to October 2020. Methodology: Eighty seven malaria suspected samples were included. CBC performed on Sysmex XN1000i followed by Microscopy of thin blood film, RDTs by using STANDARDTM Q Malaria P.f/Pan Ag Test, DNA extracted by QIAamp DNA mini kit, PCR performed by GenoAmp Real-time qPCR Malaria. Results: The median age of patients was 24+13.93 years. WDF Scattergram abnormalities were observed in 95.4 %of samples with sensitivity of 97.6% and specificity of 100% respectively. PPV was 100% and NPV was 99.8%. 96.4% of patients were malaria positive by microscopy. ICT was positive in 96.6% of samples while PCR confirmed plasmodium presence in 97.7% samples. Conclusion: Automated hematology analyzer provides high sensitivity and specificity for malaria diagnosis. The Sysmex XN-1000i can detect certain abnormalities in WDF scattergrams in malaria patients. As a result, the appearance of an abnormal WDF scattergram in a patient with a history of febrile illness, aids the pathologist in confirming a malaria diagnosis.

Published: May 2022

Background: In this minimally invasive endo urological era, anatrophic nephrolithotomy is a urological procedure that is rarely performed. However, in the case of sophisticated staghorn calculus, it is still a possibility. A single sitting with a near-complete excision of the big calculus will be less expensive than numerous sittings with minimally invasive techniques. Case study: A 20 year old male patient came to Urology OPD of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission Hospital (PAEC) from Faisalabad with diagnosis of bilateral kidney stones performed anatrophic nephrolithotomy. Results: On the fourth postoperative day, an abdominal X-ray confirmed that the right kidney was stone-free The drain was removed the same day. The ureteral stent was removed after two months. Additionally, three months following surgery, a renal ultrasound revealed no hydronephrosis and no residual stones in the right kidney. The renal function was determined to be normal. PNL is scheduled on the left side and will occur shortly. Conclusion: Open surgery anatrophic nephrolithotomy to remove Staghorn calculi is of great importance, especially in developing countries. Anatrophic nephrolithotomy thus is a valid approach for managing large Staghorn calculi with failed minimally invasive approaches.
