Published: June 2020

Greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella), the honey comb moth, is the member of family pyralidae, considered as the serious pest of the bee industry, is also known for its plastics digesting ability. This research was carried out in two phases in the month of September- October & December- January. The data on change in weight of the plastics using digital balance and area of plastic consumed by the larvae was taken for 30 and 15 consecutive days in winter and summer respectively. From the statistical analysis the results found out; 8.4 mg, 2.4 mg & 1.6mg mean change in weight in the treatment T1, T2, T3 respectively; that the area of plastic consumed by the larvae was higher in plastics of 200 gauze i.e. smaller the gauze of plastic, greater the area consumed. The study revealed the similar change in weight of plastics within the range of 300-500 gauze which was lower than the change in weight of the natural feed, wax. Higher rate of plastic feeding was observed in summer as compared to winter.

Published: June 2020

This article aims to explore the perception and practices of mathematics teachers on assessment system in mathematics courses. I adopted interpretive research approach. Three schools each from Gorkha, Nuwakot and Kaski district were selected for study. Six students, three teachers, three head teachers, and three resource persons were the interviewees of the study. I observed classrooms and conducted FGDs for collecting textual information. The data was generated from these different sources of each school have been verified and critically analyzed through triangulation and generate themes. It was found that, existing assessment practices were formative assessments such as project work, class work, and homework, attendance, unit test, remedial support, extracurricular activities, field visit, group discussion, weekly tests and use of summative evaluation as a formative assessment tool.
Climate Change Adaptation Undertaken by Small-scale Farmers in Nepal: A Reference from Tinau River Basin
Authors: Khanal Ghanashyam 
Published: June 2020

Background: Climate change is an emerging challenge that the global society will have to deal with over the coming decades. The task is particularly daunting to developing societies as they are considered more susceptible to climate change because of their exposures and sensitivities to climate-related extremes, and especially because of their restricted adaptive capabilities to deal with the effects of hazardous events.
Objectives: This research attempts to seek evidence of adaptation undertaken as a result of climate change-induced impacts and analyze the factors affecting the capability and strategies of climate change adaptation by small scale farmers in Nepal.
Methods: A descriptive cum correlational research design was employed in the study following a quantitative approach. Using a convenience sampling method, primary data for each variable was collected from 67 small scale farmers of Tinau River Basin located in the Western region of Nepal. 5-Point Likert Scale questions were prepared and pilot testing was conducted to collect the responses. Descriptive statistics, Kendall Rank Correlation and Cronbach’s Alpha (α) Test were used while analyzing the data and testing the hypotheses. The inferences were made at 5% and 1% level of significance.
Results: The findings indicate that the small scale farmers in the Tinau River Basin are experiencing the varied level of changes in climate. It revealed the existence of some barring factors for adaptation, further, insisting that farmers are prone to suffer from capability losses due to climate change.
Conclusion: The study concludes that small scale farmers are prone to suffer from capability losses due to climate change. Climate change effects are hampering their ability to cultivate the land, increasingly damaging their production, and causing lower yields of harvests.
Implications: This study suggests that such influencing factors should be taken into prime consideration (while developing additional intervention) to enhance farmers’ capabilities to better cope with climate change effects; thus improving their adaptation measures for maintaining a flourishing relationship with the changing climate.

Kurzfassung
Agile und offene Entwicklungsmethoden scheinen einen signifikant positiven Beitrag zur Fähigkeit der Unternehmen zu leisten, Umsätze mit digital vernetzten Produkten, Services oder Geschäftsmodellen zu generieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es bedenklich, dass deutsche Unternehmen bei der Nutzung dieser Methoden im Vergleich zu Unternehmen anderer Industrienationen zurückliegen. Dies wirkt sich folglich auch in unterdurchschnittlichen Umsätzen der deutschen Unternehmen mit intelligenten Produkten oder digital vernetzten Services und Geschäftsmodellen aus. Es könnte daher angezeigt sein, dass deutsche Unternehmen verstärkt agile und offene Entwicklungsmethoden nutzen sollten, um den Anschluss an die führenden Industrienationen in diesem Bereich nicht zu verlieren.

OBJECTIVEStereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a treatment option for pediatric brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and early obliteration could encourage SRS utilization for a subset of particularly radiosensitive lesions. The objective of this study was to determine predictors of early obliteration after SRS for pediatric AVMs.METHODSThe authors performed a retrospective review of the International Radiosurgery Research Foundation AVM database. Obliterated pediatric AVMs were sorted into early (obliteration ≤ 24 months after SRS) and late (obliteration > 24 months after SRS) responders. Predictors of early obliteration were identified, and the outcomes of each group were compared.RESULTSThe overall study cohort was composed of 345 pediatric patients with obliterated AVMs. The early and late obliteration cohorts were made up of 95 (28%) and 250 (72%) patients, respectively. Independent predictors of early obliteration were female sex, a single SRS treatment, a higher margin dose, a higher isodose line, a deep AVM location, and a smaller AVM volume. The crude rate of post-SRS hemorrhage was 50% lower in the early (3.2%) than in the late (6.4%) obliteration cohorts, but this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.248). The other outcomes of the early versus late obliteration cohorts were similar, with respect to symptomatic radiation-induced changes (RICs), cyst formation, and tumor formation.CONCLUSIONSApproximately one-quarter of pediatric AVMs that become obliterated after SRS will achieve this radiological endpoint within 24 months of initial SRS. The authors identified multiple factors associated with early obliteration, which may aid in prognostication and management. The overall risks of delayed hemorrhage, RICs, cyst formation, and tumor formation were not statistically different in patients with early versus late obliteration.
Multiple hippocampal transections for refractory pediatric mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: seizure and neuropsychological outcomes
Authors: Marashly Ahmad , Koop Jennifer , Loman Michelle , Kim Irene , Maheshwari Mohit , Lew Sean M. 
Published: June 2020

OBJECTIVETemporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common focal epilepsy across adult and pediatric age groups. It is also the most amenable to surgery, with excellent long-term seizure outcome. Most TLE cases have an epileptogenic zone in the mesial temporal structures, namely the hippocampus. Resecting the dominant hippocampus has been shown to be associated with significant verbal memory deficits, especially in patients with intact verbal memory scores presurgically. Multiple hippocampal transection (MHT) is a relatively new surgical technique designed to interrupt the longitudinal hippocampal circuitry involved in seizure propagation yet preserve the circular fibers involved in memory function. This technique has been used to treat mesial TLE in both dominant- and nondominant-hemisphere cases, almost exclusively in adults. It has been applied to normal and sclerotic hippocampi.METHODSIn this study, information on 3 pediatric patients who underwent MHT for mesial TLE at Children’s Wisconsin between 2017 and 2018 is included. Clinical, electroencephalographic, and neuropsychological features and outcomes are described in detail.RESULTSMRI revealed a tumor in the amygdala with a normal hippocampus in 1 patient and hippocampal sclerosis in 2 patients. All patients underwent stereoelectroencephalography confirming the involvement of the hippocampus in seizure onset. MHTs were completed under intraoperative monitoring, with amygdala and temporal tip resection in all patients due to early spread to these regions. All patients had excellent seizure outcomes at 1 year, and 2 of the 3 patients remain seizure free at last follow-up (range 20–36 months), all with stable or improved neuropsychological profiles, including verbal memory.CONCLUSIONSMHT is a relatively new surgical procedure designed to preserve essential memory circuitry while disrupting seizure propagation pathways in the hippocampus. A growing body of literature shows good seizure and neuropsychological results, but mainly in adults. This is the first series of MHTs used exclusively in children at one medical center, showcasing excellent seizure control and preservation of neuropsychological functioning. One of the patients is also the first described to have MHT in the setting of an amygdalar tumor abutting the hippocampus, further expanding the pathological setting in which MHT can be used effectively.

Published: June 2020

OBJECTIVEControversy exists regarding the effects of lowest instrumented vertebra (LIV) tilt and rotation on uninstrumented lumbar segments in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery. Because the intraoperative LIV tilt from the inferior endplate of the LIV to the superior sacral endplate is not stable after surgery, the authors measured the LIV angle of the instrumented thoracic spine as the LIV angle of the construct. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the LIV angle of the construct and the effects of LIV rotation on the postoperative uninstrumented lumbar curve and L4 tilt in patients with thoracic AIS.METHODSA retrospective correlation and multivariate analysis of a prospectively collected, consecutive, nonrandomized series of patients at a single institution was undertaken. Eighty consecutive patients with Lenke type 1 or type 2 AIS treated with posterior correction and fusion were included. Preoperative and 2-year postoperative radiographic measurements were the outcome measures for this study. Outcome variables were postoperative uninstrumented lumbar segments (LIV tilt, LIV translation, uninstrumented lumbar curve, thoracolumbar/lumbar [TL/L] apical vertebral translation [AVT], and L4 tilt). The LIV angle of the construct was measured from the orthogonal line drawn from the upper instrumented vertebra to the LIV. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was conducted between outcome variables and patient demographics/radiographic measurements. There were no study-specific biases related to conflicts of interest.RESULTSPredictor variables for postoperative uninstrumented lumbar curve were the postoperative LIV angle of the construct, number of uninstrumented lumbar segments, and flexibility of TL/L curve. Specifically, a lower postoperative uninstrumented lumbar curve was predicted by a lower absolute value of the postoperative LIV angle of the construct (p < 0.0001). Predictor variables for postoperative L4 tilt were postoperative LIV rotation, preoperative L4 tilt, and preoperative uninstrumented lumbar curve. Specifically, a lower postoperative L4 tilt was predicted by a lower absolute value of postoperative LIV rotation (p < 0.0001).CONCLUSIONSThe LIV angle of the construct significantly affected the LIV tilt, uninstrumented lumbar curve, and TL/L AVT. LIV rotation significantly affected the LIV translation and L4 tilt.

Published: June 2020

OBJECTIVEFew studies have addressed that dynamic sagittal imbalance can develop distal to the spinal fusion and cause sagittal malalignment, unlike proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) in the proximal portion. The purpose of this study was to investigate risk factors between the 2 different types of postoperative sagittal imbalance after long fusion to the sacrum for the treatment of degenerative sagittal imbalance (DSI).METHODSEighty patients who had undergone surgical correction for DSI were included. Radiographic measurements included spinopelvic parameters on whole-spine plain radiographs and degeneration of paravertebral muscles on MRI. Univariate and multivariate analyses for clinical and radiological factors were conducted for respective risk factors. In subgroup analyses, the 2 different types of postoperative sagittal imbalance were directly compared.RESULTSForty patients (50%) developed postoperative sagittal imbalance; of these patients, 22 (55.0%) developed static proximal kyphosis from PJK, and 18 patients (45.0%) developed dynamic sagittal imbalance without PJK. The independent risk factors in proximal kyphosis were greater postoperative pelvic tilt (HR 1.11) and less change in sacral slope (SS) (HR 1.09), whereas there were more fusion levels (HR 3.11), less change in SS (HR 1.28), and less change in thoracic kyphosis (HR 1.26) in dynamic sagittal imbalance. Directly compared with the proximal kyphosis group, dynamic sagittal imbalance was more commonly found in patients who had less correction of sagittal parameters as well as fatty atrophy of the paravertebral muscles. Clinical outcomes in the dynamic sagittal imbalance group were superior to those in the proximal kyphosis group.CONCLUSIONSOptimal correction of sagittal alignment should be considered in long instrumented fusion for DSI, because insufficient correction might cause one of 2 different types of postoperative sagittal imbalance at different sites of decompression. Dynamic sagittal imbalance compared with proximal kyphosis was significantly associated with less correction of sagittal alignment, in conjunction with more fusion levels and degeneration of the paravertebral muscles.

La CSS y triangular frente a los retos de la Agenda de ODS: Oportunidades y desafíos de la transferencia de tecnología como herramienta para el desarrollo sostenible y la superación de desigualdades
Authors: Lamas Lorena 
Published: June 2020

El trabajo pretende realizar un aporte a las reflexiones sobre la necesidad de incentivar la cooperación y transferencia tecnológica, como herramienta de gran relevancia para la consecución de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) y disminución de las desigualdades del Sur. Si bien las acciones en este sentido no son nuevas, los desafíos continúan existiendo y han ido transformándose en su forma y complejidad; requiriendo, por tanto, de nuevos abordajes y respuestas innovadoras.
En función de ello, el presente trabajo se cuestiona acerca de las posibles acciones a ser llevadas adelante por los países, en particular los latinoamericanos –por ser la región más desigual del mundo–, para enfrentar estos desafíos.
A partir de dicho cuestionamiento, se realiza un breve análisis con el objetivo de identificar algunos de los desafíos y oportunidades actuales para el cumplimiento de los ODS y la disminución de las desigualdades del Sur.
Del referido análisis, se esbozan algunas propuestas que ponen su foco en la utilización de las nuevas tecnologías de carácter exponencial como una herramienta clave e innovadora para alcanzar estos objetivos, en función de su capacidad de aumentar los impactos a costos reducidos; al tiempo que permiten disminuir la brecha tecnológica Norte–Sur, la cual retrasa el desarrollo global y, por tanto, la posibilidad de cumplir los ODS.
La hipótesis que orientó el trabajo se relaciona con la necesidad de dar respuestas innovadoras e impulsar diferentes asociaciones y proyectos de cooperación que involucren diversas modalidades y actores del Sistema Internacional en la consecución de los ODS y disminución de las desigualdades. Finalmente, a partir del análisis realizado, el trabajo propone la implementación de un tipo de cooperación internacional horizontal basada en la utilización de tecnologías exponenciales para superar las 169 metas establecidas en los 17 ODS y disminuir las desigualdades, a la cual se propone denominar: Cooperación Exponencial (CoEx).
