Introducing Life Cycle Assessment in Costs and Benefits Analysis of Vegetation Management in Drainage Canals of Lowland Agricultural Landscapes
Authors: Tamburini Elena , Soana Elisa , Monti Mauro , Fano Elisa Anna , Castaldelli Giuseppe
Published: August 2020

Nitrate pollution remains an unsolved issue worldwide, causing serious effects on water quality and eutrophication of freshwater and brackish water environments. Its economic costs are still underestimated. To reduce nitrogen excess, constructed wetlands are usually recognized as a solution but, in recent years, interest has been raised in the role of ditches and canals in nitrogen removal. In this study, we investigated the environmental and economical sustainability of nitrogen removal capacity, using as a model study a lowland agricultural sub-basin of the Po River (Northern Italy), where the role of aquatic vegetation and related microbial processes on the mitigation of nitrate pollution has been extensively studied. Based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach and costs and benefits analysis (CBA), the effectiveness of two different scenarios of vegetation management, which differ for the timing of mowing, have been compared concerning the nitrogen removal via denitrification and other terms of environmental sustainability. The results highlighted that postponing the mowing to the end of the vegetative season would contribute to buffering up to 90% of the nitrogen load conveyed by the canal network during the irrigation period and would reduce by an order of magnitude the costs of eutrophication potential.
Impacts of Landscape Changes on Water Resources
Authors: Jha Manoj K.
Published: August 2020

Changes in land use and land cover can have many drivers, including population growth, urbanization, agriculture, demand for food, evolution of socio-economic structure, policy regulations, and climate variability. The impacts of these changes on water resources range from changes in water availability (due to changes in losses of water to evapotranspiration and recharge) to degradation of water quality (increased erosion, salinity, chemical loadings, and pathogens). The impacts are manifested through complex hydro-bio-geo-climate characteristics, which underscore the need for integrated scientific approaches to understand the impacts of landscape change on water resources. Several techniques, such as field studies, long-term monitoring, remote sensing technologies, and advanced modeling studies have been contributing to better understanding the modes and mechanisms by which landscape changes impact water resources. Such research studies can help unlock the complex interconnected influences of landscape on water resources for quantity and quality at multiple spatial and temporal scales. In this Special Issue, we published a set of eight peer-reviewed articles elaborating on some of the specific topics of landscape changes and associated impacts on water resources.
Perspectives on Microalgal Biofilm Systems with Respect to Integration into Wastewater Treatment Technologies and Phosphorus Scarcity
Authors: Sukačová Kateřina , Vícha Daniel , Dušek Jiří
Published: August 2020

Phosphorus is one of the non-renewable natural resources. High concentration of phosphorus in surface water leads to undesirable eutrophication of the water ecosystem. It is therefore necessary to develop new technologies not only for capturing phosphorus from wastewater but also for phosphorus recovery. The aim of the study was to propose three different integration scenarios for a microalgal biofilm system for phosphorus removal in medium and small wastewater treatment plants, including a comparison of area requirements, a crucial factor in practical application of microalgal biofilm systems. The area requirements of a microalgal biofilm system range from 2.3 to 3.2 m2 per person equivalent. The total phosphorus uptake seems to be feasible for construction and integration of microalgal biofilm systems into small wastewater treatment plants. Application of a microalgal biofilm for phosphorus recovery can be considered one of the more promising technologies related to capturing CO2 and releasing of O2 into the atmosphere.

Denial and Distraction: How the Populist Radical Right Responds to COVID-19 Comment on "A Scoping Review of PRR Parties’ Influence on Welfare Policy and its Implication for Population Health in Europe"
Authors: Falkenbach Michelle , Greer Scott L.
Published: August 2020

This commentary considers the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the study of populist radical right (PRR) politicians and their influence on public health and health policy. A systematic review of recent research on the influence of PRR politicians on the health and welfare policies shows that health is not a policy arena that these politicians have much experience in. In office, their effects can be destructive, primarily because they subordinate health to their other goals. Brazil, the US and the UK all show this pattern. PRR politicians in opposition such as the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) in Austria or the Lega in Italy, said very little during the actual health crisis, but once the public no longer appeared afraid they lost no time in reactivating anti-European Union (EU) sentiments. Whether in government or in opposition, PRR politicians opted for distraction and denial. Their effects ranged from making the pandemic worse.
Getting the Problem Definition Right: The Radical Right, Populism, Nativism and Public Health Comment on "A Scoping Review of Populist Radical Right Parties’ Influence on Welfare Policy and its Implications for Population Health in Europe"
Authors: De Cleen Benjamin , Speed Ewen
Published: August 2020

Building on Rinaldi and Bekker’s scoping review of articles on the impact of populist radical right (PRR) politics on welfare and population health, this short article formulates three pointers towards a framework that might help structure future research into PRR, populist politics more generally, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and other health issues. First, we discuss the centrality of welfare chauvinism to the PRR’s impact on health, taking this as a cue for a broader reflection on the importance on distinguishing between the nativist and populist dimensions of PRR politics. Secondly, we turn our attention to the potential moderating effect of the PRR’s welfare chauvinism on the welfare cuts proposed by their right-wing coalition partners, comments we see as pointing to the need to focus on nativist, populist, neoliberal and other threats to welfare policy more generally, rather than on the PRR only. Thirdly, we reflect on the paradoxical nature of welfare chauvinism – its negative consequences for the health of the ‘own people’ it proclaims to defend – as a starting point for a brief discussion of the need to consider carefully the not-so-straightforward relation between the PRR’s political rhetoric, its (impact on) policy and institutions, and the outcomes of such policy.

Published: August 2020

Ehrenfried Pfeiffer (1899-1961), created a technique with which one can observe the qualitative characteristics of soils, composts and biofertilizers. The research seeks to evaluate soil improvement by applying native microorganisms by Pfeiffer Chromatography as a way to remedy it. Representative samples of a soil worked with conventional agriculture and improved with a compost were taken, the first sample at the beginning of the test and the following three every week after applying a Bocashi-type organic fertilizer made from native microorganisms; the soil samples were analyzed separately by the Pfeiffer chromatography technique. The control sample revealed a compacted, mineralized soil, with a small amount of organic matter and without biological activity, while the other samples with the soil already improved revealed the presence of organic matter with minerals integrated in the soil, also showing the presence of Enzymatic factors and the good biological and chemical activity manifested by the harmony between their zones. It is possible to conclude that Pfeiffer chromatography represents a simple tool to know the evolution of a soil by improving it with organic matter and efficient microorganisms manifesting some qualitative characteristics that indicate its progress.

Published: August 2020

Background: Six sigma is a quality indicator used in biochemistry laboratories to evaluate analytical performance. We aimed to evaluate our analytical performance by calculating the six sigma values of some tests in our own laboratory.Materials and Methods: In this study, we used the five-month internal quality control values of 49 biochemistry and immunoassay tests analyzed on Beckman Coulter AU 5800 and DXI 800 analyzers. We calculated six sigma data using 2 different allowed total error values (% TEa)[(Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and Ricos biyological variation]. We accepted three and above six sigma values as an indicator of good performance.Results: When we evaluated according to CLIA criteria, the analytical performance of ALP, CK and amylase was 6 and above, while according to Ricos, only the analytical performance of the prolactin test was 6 and above at both control levels.Conclusions: Six sigma is important in quality control evaluation. When performing the sigma calculation, it should be kept in mind that the permissible total error values used may cause different performance data.

Published: August 2020

In this study, we aimed to investigate the pH, base deficit (BD), retinal changes, and amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) findings of cases diagnosed with perinatal asphyxia (PA) and developing mortality.
Material – Methods
Seven patients with mortality due to perinatal asphyxia were included in this study. Blood gas analysis of cases, 72-hour aEEG findings were recorded. All babies were examined by the same ophthalmologist. Data analyses were performed using SPSS Statistics software
Results
Seven cases with perinatal asphyxia who developed mortality during follow-up were included in this study. The pH value of the cases was between 6.30-6.98 (6.84) and the BD was between 18-40 (23) mmol / L. Massive retinal hemorrhage was detected in 2 patients. In one patient, spot bleeding foci were more prominent in the right eye retina. When the aEEG findings of the postnatal 24th hour of the cases were evaluated, it was found that six patients had low voltage (LV) and one patient had burst suppression (BS) pattern. Our two cases died between the 24th and 48th hours and both cases were in the LV pattern. In the follow-up of four cases, it was observed that mortality developed after 72 hours. One of these four cases was the LV pattern and two were BS patterns. The patterns of the last case at 24-48 and 72 hours were BS-LV and DNV, respectively.
Conclusions
In our study, it was found that cases with developed mortality had severe abnormal aEEG findings. It was determined that the LV and BS pattern, which continued for 24-48 hours, were associated with the development of mortality and these results were consistent with the literature.

Authors: DÖRTERLER Mustafa Erman
Published: August 2020

Background: Most circumcision practices in our country are still carried out by medical officers or circumcisers. The present study aims to determine the types of circumcision complications, their frequencies and possible causes.Methods: A total of 103 patients between 0-18 years of age, who were admitted to the Pediatric Surgery Clinic of our hospital due to circumcision complaints between January 2012 and December 2019, were included in the study. The demographic data, treatments, and clinical follow-up of the patients were obtained from file records retrospectively.Results: The mean age of the patients was 3.9 ± 3.8 years. Of the circumcisions, 58 (56.3%) were performed at home or in a health cabin, while 45 (43.7%) were conducted in a hospital setting. Of these, 68 (66%) were performed by a circumciser or health officer, and 35 (34%) by a physician. The most common early circumcision complication was penile hemorrhage or hematoma (25.2%) and the most common late circumcision complication was inadequate circumcision and glans adherent skin bridges (17.5%). The major complications were glans penile amputation, necrosis, and excessive incision of the penis skin in 7 (6.7%) patients. Of these patients, 6 (85.7%) were circumcised by a health officer or circumciser.Conclusions: Circumcision is a surgical procedure that should be performed by specialist physicians where the necessary conditions for the surgical procedure are met. As society becomes more aware of this issue, the frequency of circumcision complications and the risk of severe complications will decrease.

Öz.
Amaç:Çocukluk yaş grubunda morbidite ve mortalitenin en sık sebebi kafatravmalarıdır. Kafa travması olan çocuklarda beyin tomografisi için çeşitli protokoller tanımlanmıştır. Bunlarda klinik değerlendirmeler ön plana çıktığı için acil servislerde uygunsuz, abartılı hasta şikayetleri veya aşırı iş yükü yoğunluğu nedeniyle beyin tomografisi çekimi için karar vermek zor olabilir. Çalışmamızda minör pediatrik kafa travmalı hastalarda, beyin tomografisi çekimine karar verme aşamasında nötrofil-lenfositoranı ve trombosit-lenfosit oranının yol gösterici olup olamayacağını araştırmayı amaçladık.
Materyal ve Metod: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya beyin tomografisi taramalarında patolojisi olan 96 hasta(grup I), yaşı ve cinsiyet bakımından bu gruba denk olan normal sağlıklı ve beyin tomografisi sonucu olan 99 (grup II) çocuk dâhil edildi. Grup 1 medikal ve cerrahi tedavi almalarına göre iki gruba ayrıldı. Hematolojik parametreler rutin laboratuvar yöntemleri ile çalışıldı. Her katılımcıda rutin hematolojik parametreler incelendi.
Bulgular: Gruplar karşılaştırıldığında, nötrofil, lökosit, nötrofil-lenfosit oranı ve trombosit-lenfosit oranı grup I’ de grup 2’ye göre anlamlı derecede yüksekti (tümü için p<0.05). Alt grup analizlerinde; grup I’ de cerrahi tedavi gereken hastalarda nötrofil-lenfosit oranı ve trombosit-lenfosit oranı medikal izlem gerektiren hastalara göre istatiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksekti (tümü için p<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic analizi nötrofil-lenfosit oranı ve trombosit-lenfosit oranının minor kafatravmasında patoloji ve cerrahiyi öngörmede önemli olabileceğini göstermektedir.
Sonuç: Minör kafa travmalarında nötrofil-lenfosit oranı ve trombosit-lenfosit oranının yüksekliği beyin tomografisi çekimi gerekliliği için yol gösterici olabilir. Ek olarak, bu parametreler patoloji saptanması durumunda uygulanacak tedavi yöntemini seçmede de yardımcı olabilir.

Authors: Mega Abigail , Riwu Yuliana Radja , Regaletha Tadeus A. L.
Published: August 2020

Laru is a traditional alcoholic beverage from NTT obtained from the fermentation of palm tree sap (Borassus flabellifer). Alcohol is a risk factor for someone suffering from hypertension because alcohol has the same effect as carbon dioxide which can increase blood acidity and cortisol levels so that the blood becomes thicker and the heart is forced to pump blood throughout the body, resulting in hypertension. Hypertension is a condition of a person's blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg. The purpose of this study was to analyze the type, amount, frequency and duration of consumption of laru with the incidence of hypertension in East Penfui Village in 2019. This research method is a case control study. The sample consisted of 40 cases and 40 controls with a ratio of 1: 1. Data analysis was performed with univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with chi square test. The thesis shows that the factors associated with hypertension are laru type (ρ = 0.004; OR = 5.127) and duration of laru consumption (ρ = 0.016; OR = 3.857), while unrelated factors are the amount of laru consumption (ρ = 0.252) and laru consumption frequency (ρ = 0.654). The community is expected to reduce consumption of laru so that they can avoid hypertension. Penfui Timur Village can make efforts to control alcohol so that alcohol consumption in the community can be controlled and does not cause health problems.

Fuzzy rule has been used extensively in data mining. This paper presents a fast and flexible method based on genetic algorithm to construct fuzzy decision rule with considering criteria of accuracy. First, the algorithm determines the width that divides each attribute into “n” intervals according to the number of fuzzy sets, after that calculates the parameters width according to that width. Rough Sets Model Based on Database Systems technique used to reduce the number of attributes if there exists then we use the algorithm for extracting initial fuzzy rules from fuzzy table using SQL statements with a smaller number of rules than the other models without needing to use a genetic algorithm – Based Rule Selection approach to select a small number of significant rules, then it calculates their accuracy and the confidence.. Multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (EAs) that use nondominated sorting and sharing have been criticized mainly for computational complexity and needing for specifying a sharing parameter but in our genetic model each fuzzy set represented by “Real number” from 0 to 9 forming a gene on chromosome (individual). Our genetic model is used to improve the accuracy of the initial rules and calculates the accuracy of the new rules again which be higher than the old rules The proposed approach is applied on the Iris dataset and the results compared with other models: Preselection with niches, ENORA and NSGA to show its validity.

The haziness in underwater images occurs due to two major phenomena namely absorption and scattering of light. Hence, we have proposed an image fusion-based approach to improve the visibility of images obtained underwater. The proposed method uses a single hazy image. Initially the colour corrected and contrast improved versions of the image are obtained. Further, Laplace transform is applied which is followed by replication and saliency mapping on each of the derived images. Multi-scale image fusion technique has been used to combine the inputs. This enables each of the fused images to contribute the most essential feature to obtain the resultant image. Thus, the proposed method significantly restores the quality of the input distorted images

In this real-world, there is a great necessity to satisfy the demands in all the communication systems to experience the best ever convenience and flexibility. Advancement in the IoT concept in the form of IoV has been a solution to overcome all the difficulties experienced during driving vehicles. The complete potential of IoV addresses many challenges of traffic monitoring and road safety measures by forming a distributed network of vehicles and collaborate between heterogeneous vehicular systems. IoV refers to the integration of networks that transmit information periodically between vehicles to vehicles, vehicles to roadside units and it is intended to play an essential role in this. The prevailing solutions like VANET, Vehicular Cloud Computing (VFC), and Mobile Cloud Computing are not ideal as there is high latency and delay in responsiveness. The collaboration of vehicular networks and fog computing forms a promising paradigm called Vehicular Fog Computing (VFC) which serves as a effective yet alternative method for VANETS’s. This paradigm consists of multiple near-end devices to carry out communication and computation of every vehicle. This paper presents certain scenarios of moving and idle state of vehicles by adapting VFC methods, wherein as a result of this communication and computation infrastructure, it showcases the capabilities of VFC. The objective here is to present four different scenarios of a vehicle in motion and in idle state, which brings out an interesting relationship between the communication capability and connectivity of the vehicles.
