Published: December 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Gestational IDA has been linked to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, but the impact of iron supplementation on outcome measures remains unclear. Our objective was to assess the effects of gestational IDA on pregnancy outcomes and compare outcomes in pregnancies treated with either oral or intravenous iron supplementation.

Methods
We evaluated maternal and neonatal outcomes in 215 pregnancies complicated with gestational IDA (Hb<100 g/L) and delivered in our tertiary unit between January 2016 and October 2018. All pregnancies from the same period served as a reference group (n=11,545). 163 anemic mothers received oral iron supplementation, and 52 mothers received intravenous iron supplementation.

Results
Gestational IDA was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (10.2% vs. 6.1%, p=0.009) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) (1.9% vs. 0.3%, p=0.006). The gestational IDA group that received intravenous iron supplementation had a greater increase in Hb levels compared to those who received oral medication (18.0 g/L vs. 10.0 g/L, p<0.001), but no statistically significant differences in maternal and neonatal outcomes were detected.

Conclusions
Compared to the reference group, prematurity, FGR, postpartum infections, and extended hospital stays were more common among mothers with gestational IDA, causing an additional burden on the families and the healthcare system.
Civic Apprenticeship: Build The Talent Pipeline For The Nonprofit Sector By Expanding National Service And Recognizing Its Role In Workforce Development
Authors: Sagawa Shirley 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
National service operates as a workforce development system for nonprofits by offering individuals a paid opportunity to develop real-world skills through hands-on service. A service year before, during, or after college – or as a way to get back on track – gives Americans of all ages, but especially young adults, the chance to transform their lives, make an impact in their community, and become the active citizens and leaders our nation needs.
Merging two spectra from compact spectrometers with different detector technologies
Authors: Lischtschenko Oliver , Kehrein Achim 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
This paper describes the merging of spectra measured by two different spectrometers. Different concepts for merging data from different instruments are presented. All existing approaches violate the conservation law of energy when comparing measurements from two different instruments. The fundamental cause behind violation of the energy conservation law lies in the properties of the measurement device itself. Data can only be merged successfully if the distortion caused by both instruments is small. Typical real-life examples for spectral measurements are shown and the applicability of merging of the data is evaluated for these cases.
Synthesis of 2-aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid Schiff bases and their interactions with human serum albumin
Authors: Li Huiqing , Gao Qiang 
Published: December 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Human serum albumin (HSA) can bind and transport many substances to cells to meet various needs of the organism. The binding efficacy of HSA to these substances directly affects their functions. In this paper two Schiff base compounds were synthesized to explore the interaction between HSA and both compounds.

Methods
Fluorescence spectra and an AutoDock model were utilized to investigate the interaction mechanism and binding model between proteins and Schiff base products. The conformation change of HSA was detected by resonance light scattering and circular dichroism spectra.

Results
The two compounds bound easily with HSA, with binding constants of 104. The binding sites for both compounds in HSA were within an appropriate distance for long-range interactions. Both compounds are accommodated in hydrophobic domains of HSA. However, electrostatic interactions and other supermolecular forces coexist between the compounds and protein. Binding of these compounds disturbed the protein secondary structure and caused a certain degree of destabilization.

Conclusions
The two Schiff base compounds can interact with HSA with high efficacy, which is helpful for explore the application of this type of Schiff base in biomedical research.

A multi-country snapshot study of pain in people with haemophilia
Authors: Mulders Greta , Thykjaer Hanne , Khair Kate 
Published: December 2020

Abstract

Introduction
People with haemophilia (PwH) experience recurrent bleeds in weight-bearing joints. Optimal management for people with severe haemophilia involves prophylaxis with factor VIII or IX, which helps to reduce the risk of bleeds and joint damage. However, this is expensive and frequently not an option in economically developing countries, where on-demand treatment is more commonly used as bleeding occurs. PwH with moderate and mild haemophilia are also treated on demand. Pain from bleeds and arthropathy is common in PwH; it is recognised as a burden that impairs quality of life and can be challenging to manage.

Aims
This study aims to establish greater understanding of the experience of pain in PwH in different countries, the factors that influence this, and how pain is currently managed.

Methods
PwH attending haemophilia treatment centres (HTCs) completed an anonymous questionnaire about their experience of pain and pain-relief within the previous 28 days (up to 10 PwH per participating HTC).

Results
209 PwH from 20 HTCs in 11 countries participated in the study. The median age was 36 (range 8–84); 181 (86.6%) had haemophilia A, 25 (12.0%) haemophilia B, and three (1.4%) did not know; 148 (70.8%) had severe haemophilia, 28 (13.4%) moderate, and 31 (14.8%) mild. Twenty-eight (13.4%) had an inhibitor. The majority (n=121; 57.9%) were on prophylaxis; 61 (29.2%) were treated on demand; 20 (9.6%) used a combination; 7 (3.3%) did not know. 154 PwH (73.9%) experienced a total of 1,945 days of pain with severity on a visual analogue scale reported as 4.5. The most commonly reported sites of pain were joints and muscles. There was no significant difference in pain incidence between countries. Children aged less than 16 years reported the lowest amount of pain, with reported pain increasing with age in older respondents. Simple analgesia such as paracetamol was used but participants reported that it did not relieve pain. Alternative pain-relief strategies including rest, physiotherapy, walking aids, alcohol or marijuana were also used with varying effect.

Conclusions
Pain is common among PwH and increases with age. Age and developmentally appropriate pain assessment should be a part of routine haemophilia care.

Authors: Tewari Shirish , Bondje Sophie , Gupta Vivek , Reay-Jones Nick 
Published: December 2020

Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy not only helps in downstaging the rectal cancer, it also reduces the rate of local recurrence but it has its own attendant risk factors. Our aim is to look into the implications of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with rectal cancer in our hospital.Methods: Retrospective data was collected from the infoflex system of database for the patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy between January 2016-December 2019 in our DGH. The data was analysed for demographics, type of surgery, histology, length of stay, complications and stoma reversal rates.Results: Total 27 patients with rectal cancer during the study period underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. 16 were male and 11 females. Age range was 33-82 year. 13 patients underwent APER, 8 Hartmann’s and 6 anterior resection with covering loop ileostomy. 5 patients initially required defunctioning sigmoid loop colostomy and one loop ileostomy prior to the start of neoadjuvant treatment. Histology showed 26 adenocarcinoma, and 1 squamous cell cancer. 3 patients had complete pathological response (cPR). Post-operative stay was from 5-32 days. 12 patients developed pelvic collection, 5 wound infection (4 perineal+1 abdominal), 5 had paralytic ileus, 1 patient had PR bleed, 2 anastomotic leak and 2 patients had chest related complications. Only 4 out of 6 loop ileostomies were reversed. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant treatment benefits come with its attendant complications. The tissue response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and advanced tumor stage may contribute for the increased morbidity. Hopefully in future with the advent of new armamentarium, the degree of morbidity may come down.
Post-truth and Islamophobia narration in the contemporary Indonesian political constellation
Authors: Syarif Zainuddin , A. Mughni Syafiq , Hannan Abd 
Published: December 2020

This article discusses the phenomenon of post-truth politics, role, and its influence on the return of Islamophobic narratives in the dynamics of Indonesian political constellation. There are three main issues discussed in this study: post-truth, Islamophobia in Indonesia, and contemporary Indonesian political constellation. Using qualitative research and analysis of critical theory perspectives, this study found that the development of post-truth political practices indirectly evokes the narrative of Islamophobia in contemporary Indonesian political constellation. The return of the Islamophobia can be seen in three ways. First, the practice of post-truth politics which is rooted in the politicization of religion and ethnicity, it gives negative impact not only because of unhealthy process of leadership circulation in Indonesia, but has also faltered the reality of Indonesia's plurality as a pluralist state, both in terms of ethnicity and religion. Second, post-truth political practices in which contain propaganda, intimidation, lies and hate speech have stimulated the rise of sentiment towards religious social groups, as happened in the “212 Movement”. Third, the return of Islamophobic narratives due to political Post-truth appears to be increasing clashes and practices of religious intolerance in Indonesia, where intolerance is practiced by the majority against minority groups. Artikel ini mengkaji fenomena politik post-truth, peran dan pengaruhnya terhadap kembalinya narasi Islamophobia dalam dinamika konstelasi politik Indonesia kontemporer. Terdapat tiga permasalahan pokok yang dibahas dalam kajian ini: post-truth, Islamophobia, dan konstelasi politik Indonesia kontemporer. Dengan menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif dan analisis perspektif teori kritis, studi ini mendapati temuan bahwa berkembangnya praktik politik post-truth, secara tidak langsung telah membangkitkan kembali narasi Islamophobia dalam konstelasi politik Indonesia kontemporer. Kembalinya narasi Islamophobia tersebut terlihat dalam tiga hal. Pertama, praktik politik post-truth yang berakar pada politisasi agama dan etnisitas, telah menimbulkan dampak negatif bukan saja pada tidak sehatnya proses sirkulasi kepemimpinan di Indonesia, namun juga telah membuat goyah realitas kemajemukan Indonesia sebagai negara pluralis, baik dari segi etnisitas maupun agama. Kedua, praktik politik post-truth yang di dalamnya berisikan propaganda, intimidasi, dan kebohongan, telah menstimulus bangkitnya sentimen terhadap kelompok-kelompok sosial keagamaan, seperti yang terjadi dalam gerakan Aksi Bela Islam 212. Ketiga, kembalinya narasi Islamophobia akibat politik post-truth nampak pada semakin meningkatnya benturan dan praktik intoleransi keagamaan di Indonesia, di mana intoleransi dilakukan oleh kelompok mayoritas terhadap kelompok minoritas.
Preparation, characterization and application of fluorinated acrylate copolymer emulsion for the conservation of stone building heritages in Putuo Zongcheng Temple, China

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Recently, the stone building heritages in Putuo Zongcheng Temple are experiencing a certain degree of weathering damage, which mainly manifests in the blistering, fissuring, flaking and detachment of the carved balustrades of stone bridge, the footings of wall, the front paws and pedestals of stone lions. To prevent the deterioration of the stone building heritages, the fluorinated acrylate copolymer emulsion was successfully prepared with ethyl metrhacrylate, n-butyl acrylate and 2,2,3,4,4,4-hexafluorobutyl methacrylate as monomers. The structure and surface morphology characteristics of this copolymer were described the Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The FTIR spectra confirms that the adopted monomers have been involved in during the copolymer polymerization process. The SEM images reveal that the surface of the prepared copolymer is obviously more dense, compact and smooth than the porous structure of stone building heritages. The ageing resistance of the copolymer was quantitatively studied by the ultraviolet aging test, the contact angle and imbibition spontaneous tests were adopted to estimate the wettability alteration of the copolymer emulsion for the stone samples. Results show that the mass loss rate of the prepared copolymer increases rapidly and then tends to be stable when irradiated by ultraviolet light. And the fluorinated copolymer with 16.65% HFMA content possesses the optimal ageing resistance and the superb hydrophobicity. The contact angles of the coated stone samples range from 91.90o to 119.80o, which are all larger than 18.80o-69.05o of the un-coated samples. Similarly, the spontaneous imbibition test also ensures that, both the maximum water absorption capacity and the imbibition equilibrium time of the samples treated by this copolymer emulsion are lesser. Considering the influence of water on rock weathering, the fluorinated copolymer emulsion coating is an potential method to avoid the degrading of stone building heritages, because it depresses the infiltration of water and then avoids or weakens the dissolution effect, salt crystallization, water absorption swelling and freeze-thaw weathering.

Authors: Hemati Laya , Shayan Arezoo , Kazemi Farideh , Soltani Farzaneh 
Published: December 2020

Background:
Lack of sexual knowledge or incorrect sexual information can lead to anxiety and fear of sexual
communication and subsequent sexual dysfunction in marrying women.

Objective:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of sexual cognition counseling on the sexual
communication anxiety of women upon marriage.

Methods:
In this randomized quasi-experimental study 124 women upon marriage with poor sexual knowledge and
attitudes, were randomly assigned into two groups of intervention and control group (62 in each group), using four
randomized blocking. Data collected by Sexual Knowledge and Attitude (SKAS) and Sexual Communication Anxiety
questionnaires. In the experimental group, five counseling sessions were held with the aim of promoting women sexual
knowledge and attitude. Control group women did not receive any intervention.

Results:
The mean scores of sexual knowledge and sexual attitude of women in the experimental group were significantly
increased from 30.02 ± 9.09 and 32.34 ± 6.09 to 34.35 ± 10.23 and 34.53 ± 6.92 after intervention respectively (p <0.05).
The mean scores of sexual communication anxiety in the intervention group showed a significant decrease from 42.23 ±
10.63 to 40.47 ± 10.94 after the intervention (p <0.05).

Conclusions:
This study showed that an increase in knowledge and improvement of sexual attitude
can reduce the sexual communication anxiety of women upon marriage. Designing and implementing
effective interventions with the purpose of promoting sexual knowledge in women and amending
the false attitudes and beliefs may take some effective steps to protect and promote sexual
health in women, then the couples.

Sodium fluoracetate's poisoning: A case report
Authors: Ávila Reyes Diana , Galvis Mejía Juan Camilo , Gómez González Jose Fernando , Aguirre Flórez Mateo 
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Sodium fluoroacetate, known as compound 1080, was discovered in Germany during the Second World War. It is usually used as a rodenticide, it is an odorless and tasteless substance, with a lethal dose in humans of 2 mg / kg that is why it was withdrawn from the market in some countries, including Colombia; however, it is obtained illegally. This substance has biochemical and physiological effects at the cellular level that alter the transport of citrate at the mitochondrial level, generating accumulation of lactic acid and alteration of the glucose use. The clinical manifestations are nonspecific since there is no any cardinal symptom. Therefore, its diagnosis is made due to high clinical suspicion associated with establishment of exposure to the compound in view of the difficulty to obtain paraclinical confirmation in a timely manner.
Methods: We present a case report of intentional ingestion of sodium fluoroacetate in an adolescent that is associated with an infection added to the bloodstream by methicillin- sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). The patient developed multiple complications that lead to support in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with a satisfactory outcome. In view of the lack of a specific antidote, she was treated with ethanol in order to increase the level of acetate; thus, offering an alternative substrate to the Krebs cycle. It is suggested that the ethanol offers benefits in the acute treatment of these patients.
Results: The patient with sodium fluoroacetate poisoning and kidney failure received renal replacement therapy with a favorable evolution and survival at discharge from the intensive care unit of a third-level hospital in the city of Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia.
Conclusions: Sodium fluoroacetate poisoning is relatively rare and can cause acute kidney injury and multi-organ failure with a high rate of complications and death. A case of self-inflicted poisoning that received a timely manner continuous renal replacement therapy with a favorable outcome in terms of ICU survival was presented.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
It is acknowledged that providing a safe water supply for all countries is one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century. Egypt is one of the greatest countries affected in Africa and Middle East. The Nile is facing a major water shortage due to the limited water resources and the the demand is growing as a result high population growth and development in industrial and agricultural sectors. This paper has been motivated by the fact that there is no up-to-date literature review of the optimal operation of Water Resources. The analysis of the reviewed literature is structured along five broad branches: (1) Mathematical Optimization Modelling Studies, (2) Numerical Simulation Modelling Studies, (3) Geographical Information Systems “GIS” based Studies, (4) Ecological Studies, (5) Water Reuse Studies. This review is limited to surface water but groundwater has been inexplicitly included. The paper concludes the best way to identify knowledge to cover the gap between water supply and demands and to guide future researches on water resources planning and management.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
With the rapid development of deep learning techniques, the popularity of voice services implemented on various Internet of Things (IoT) devices is ever increasing. In this paper, we examine user-level membership inference in the problem space of voice services, by designing an audio auditor to verify whether a specific user had unwillingly contributed audio used to train an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model under strict black-box access. With user representation of the input audio data and their corresponding translated text, our trained auditor is effective in user-level audit. We also observe that the auditor trained on specific data can be generalized well regardless of the ASR model architecture. We validate the auditor on ASR models trained with LSTM, RNNs, and GRU algorithms on two state-of-the-art pipelines, the hybrid ASR system and the end-to-end ASR system. Finally, we conduct a real-world trial of our auditor on iPhone Siri, achieving an overall accuracy exceeding 80%. We hope the methodology developed in this paper and findings can inform privacy advocates to overhaul IoT privacy.
Local Memory Policy. The Case of Wałbrzych
Authors: Sęczyk Waldemar 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Until 1989 Wałbrzych was an important industrial center of Lower Silesia. The system transformation which started in 1989 led to the liquidation of enterprises in the mining, ceramics and textile industries. The city began to be perceived in Poland as a city of high unemployment, illegal shallow coal mines or political corruption.
The city authorities began to wonder what events from the past could be helpful in creating its new image. They undertook a number of activities in this regard. The questionnaire was to assess the effectiveness of the city’s activities. It was carried out among secondary school students, students and the employees of Wałbrzych city institutions, teachers of Wałbrzych schools and councilors of the City Council. The survey was conducted in October and November 2019. The respondents indicated mainly the activities of the authorities aimed at personalizing local historical policy. The city authorities undertook a number of other initiatives in the field of local remembrance policy. The surveys showed that the initiatives were not known to the inhabitants of Wałbrzych. In the minds of respondents, there were only two historical events, namely May 3 and November 11. To a small extent, they participated in historical ceremonies present in national historical politics (e.g. the Day of the Cursed Soldiers). Apart from the figure of Princess Daisy, most respondents were unable to identify other people important to the region. Although there are a number of organizations and associations in the city, only the Princess Daisy Foundation conducted the eff ective and visible activities in the field of local remembrance policy. Although the respondents declared their interest in history, their knowledge at the local level is low.
