Seismic Energy Release from Intra-Basin Sources along the Dead Sea Transform and Its Influence on Regional Ground Motions
Authors: Shimony Roey , Gvirtzman Zohar , Tsesarsky Michael 
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACTThe Dead Sea Transform (DST) dominates the seismicity of Israel and neighboring countries. Whereas the instrumental catalog of Israel (1986–2017) contains mainly M&lt;5 events, the preinstrumental catalog lists 14 M 7 or stronger events on the DST, during the past two millennia. Global Positioning System measurements show that the slip deficit in northern Israel today is equivalent to M&gt;7 earthquake. This situation highlights the possibility that a strong earthquake may strike north Israel in the near future, raising the importance of ground-motion prediction.Deep and narrow strike-slip basins accompany the DST. Here, we study ground motions produced by intrabasin seismic sources, to understand the basin effect on regional ground motions. We model seismic-wave propagation in 3D, focusing on scenarios of Mw 6 earthquakes, rupturing different active branches of the DST. The geological model includes the major structures in northern Israel: the strike-slip basins along the DST, the sedimentary basins accompanying the Carmel fault zone, and the densely populated and industrialized Zevulun Valley (Haifa Bay area).We show that regional ground motions are determined by source–path coupling effects in the strike-slip basins, before waves propagate into the surrounding areas. In particular, ground motions are determined by the location of the rupture nucleation within the basin, the near-rupture lithology, and the basin’s local structure. When the rupture is located in the crystalline basement or along material bridges connecting opposite sides of the fault, ground motions behave predictably, decaying due to geometrical spreading and locally amplified atop sedimentary basins. By contrast, if rupture nucleates or propagates into shallow sedimentary units of the DST strike-slip basins, ground motions are amplified within, before propagating outside. Repeated reflections from the basin walls result in a “resonant chamber” effect, leading to stronger regional ground motions with prolonged durations.

Published: November 2020

Background and PurposeUsing remote visual monitoring (RVM) technology to observe patients at high risk for falls can effectively reduce falls and sitter costs. However, RVM is underutilized by direct care nurses. This study describes the development and testing of a new tool to measure nurses' acceptance of RVM technology.MethodsThe RVM Acceptance Tool (RVMAT) was tested among nurses recruited from a large health system.ResultsThree factors accounted for 70.38% of the total variance: Value, Patient Selection, and Availability and Intent to Use. The overall 25-item scale had good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = .98).ConclusionThe RVMAT is a theoretically grounded, valid, and reliable tool. Further research is needed to test its use in predicting nurses' acceptance and intent to incorporate new technology into daily nursing care.

Published: November 2020

Background: This article presents a critical reflection on the application of the ‘researcher as instrument’ concept within a study employing the nominal group technique. Twelve community-dwelling older adults were recruited to generate a list of items for a new patient-reported outcome measure on perceived ability to recover balance. The ontological position and epistemological stance of the first author are presented to provide a philosophical context of his lens and biases of his reflection. Aim: The article aims to share reflective insights into the process of taking the role of researcher as instrument, to highlight the concept’s strengths and limitations for other researchers and demonstrate how it is applied from the perspectives of a physiotherapist conducting person-centred research with older clients. Conclusions: Essential practice skills such as reflectivity and reflexivity are necessary for a researcher as an instrument to build a trusting relationship with participants in person-centred research. Novice researchers should explore their philosophical orientation to develop their research methodology and methods. Implications for practice: Researcher as instrument can be applied to conduct the nominal group technique In person-centred research, researchers need to critically reflect on their roles to build trust with participants during the planning and delivery of their methods, being reflective and reflexive	Consideration of one’s ontological and epistemological position allows growth in research learning

Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Masters is one of Morocco's most important forest species. It is also found occasionally in Malta and Spain, showing significant adaptability to different bio-climatic conditions. However, the species is being affected by anthropogenic fragmentation, logging and neglect from authorities, which could lead to the irretrievable loss of this resource. In this study, the genetic diversity and genetic structure of ten Moroccan populations of T. articulata were assessed. Fifteen Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers were used. These generated 271 polymorphic fragments with an average of 18.06 per primer and showed 79.59% of polymorphism. The 129 individuals revealed a high level of genetic diversity (Hs = 0.221; Ht = 0.254) and 85% of genetic variation within populations. However, the genetic differentiation level was low (Gst = 0.13), which is consistent with the lack of correlation between genetic and geographic distances revealed by the Mantel test, resulting in a high level of gene flow (Nm = 3.294). Based on PCoA and neighbour-joining methods, the ten populations clustered under the effect of continental and marine climates. Compared with other conifers, the current genetic diversity and the pattern of T. articulata population structure indicate an important gene pool requiring efficient conservation strategies.

A educação ambiental pode ajudar na sensibilização da sociedade em relação aos escorpiões, desmistificando a visão antropocêntrica no qual o indivíduo se põe acima dos animais não humanos e da natureza, bem como a promover uma interação socioambiental mais justa entre ambos e o ambiente. Conhecer o animal não humano em seu habitat e respeita-lo como tal, pode ajudar na preservação das espécies de escorpião, bem como prevenir acidentes. Para melhorar a relação entre ser humano e animais não humanos, foi desenvolvido um trabalho socioambiental com crianças de 11 a 12 anos, por meio de realização de oficinas com apresentação de materiais didáticos sobre os escorpiões. Foi elaborado um questionário contendo oito questões de fácil interpretação e resposta. As perguntas demonstraram valores significativos de dependência do pós teste em relação a oficina, sendo possível dizer que os sujeitos participantes possuem uma visão convencional acerca dos escorpiões, que pode ser modificada com uma interversão didático-metodológica intencional.

Wheatstone and Iago Fields Interference Testing: Execution and Interpretation with Ensemble Variance Analysis
Authors: Flett Matthew , Connell Paul 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The Wheatstone Project is an LNG development located in Western Australia, incorporating the Chevron Australia operated Wheatstone and Iago fields and third-party gas fields. Production commenced in mid-2017. The start-up of the Wheatstone and Iago fields was a unique opportunity to acquire reservoir surveillance information that was able to provide valuable reservoir insights. A key component of the analysis was the observation of pressure interference between wells from the initial well clean-ups. The design of the well clean-up sequence, discussed in a previous paper (Flett & Connell, 2019) was influenced by operational guidelines and the application of Ensemble Variance Analysis to determine an optimised start-up strategy for interference testing with the objective of reducing subsurface uncertainties.
The well clean-up sequence was executed safely and achieved the reservoir surveillance and operational objectives of the start-up program. Flexibility in the optimised well clean-up sequence allowed changes to the start-up strategy in response to changing operating conditions, without impacting the reservoir surveillance objectives.
High quality pressure interference data was acquired, enabling clear determination of zonal reservoir connectivity within the Wheatstone and Iago reservoirs. Interpretation of pressure interference results with reservoir models, incorporating Ensemble Variance Analysis led to a change in approach for initial history matching and revision of static and dynamic model development for Wheatstone and Iago fields.

Abstract
Background: Methane emission by ruminants has contributed considerably to the global warming and understanding the genomic architecture of methane production may help the livestock producers to reduce the methane emission from the livestock production system. The goal of our study was to identify genomic regions affecting the predicted methane emission (PME) from volatile fatty acids (VFAs) indicators and VFA traits using imputed whole-genome sequence data in Iranian Holstein cattle.Results: Based on the significant-association threshold (p < 5 × 10−8), 33 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected for PME per kg milk (n=2), PME per kg fat (n=14), and valeric acid (n=17). Besides, 69 genes were identified for valeric acid (n=18), PME per kg milk (n=4) and PME per kg fat (n=47) that were located within 1 Mb of significant SNPs. Based on the gene ontology (GO) term analysis, six promising candidate genes were significantly clustered in organelle organization (GO:0004984, p = 3.9 × 10-2) for valeric acid, and 17 candidate genes significantly clustered in olfactory receptors activity (GO:0004984, p = 4 × 10-10) for PME traits. Annotation results revealed 31 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for milk yield and its components, body weight, and residual feed intake within 1 Mb of significant SNPs.Conclusions:Our results identified 33 SNPs associated with PME and valeric acid traits, as well as 17 olfactory receptors activity genes for PME traits related to food preference and feed intake. Identified SNPs in this study were close to 31 QTLs for milk yield and its components, body weight, and residual feed intake traits. In addition, these traits had high correlations with PME trait. Overall, our findings suggest that marker-assisted and genomic selection could be used to improve the difficult and expensive-to-measure phenotypes such as PME. Moreover, prediction of methane emission by VFA indicators could be useful for increasing the size of the reference population required in genome-wide association studies and genomic selection.

Abstract
Background: Smoking in one of the most serious public health problems. It is well known that it constitutes a major risk factor for chronic diseases and the leading cause of preventable death worldwide.Due to high prevalence of smokers, new cost-effective strategies seeking to increase smoking cessation rates are needed. Methods: We performed a Markov model-based cost-effectiveness analysiscomparing two treatments: health advice provided by general practitioners and nurses in primary care, and health advice reinforced by sending motivational text messages to smokers’mobile phones. A Markov model was used in which smokerstransitioned between three mutually exclusive health states (smoker, former smoker and dead) after 6-month cycles. We calculated the cost-effectiveness ratio associated with the sending of motivational messages. Health care and society perspectives (separately) was adopted. Costs taken into account were direct health care costs and direct health care cost and costsfor lost productivity, respectively.Additionally, deterministic sensitivity analysis was performed modifying the probability of smoking cessation with each option. Results: Sending of text messages as a tool to support health advice was found to be cost-effective as it was associated with increases in costs of €7.4 and €1,327 per QALY gained (ICER)for men and women respectively from a healthcare perspective, significantly far from the published cost-effectiveness threshold. From a societal perspective, the combined programmed was dominant. Conclusions: Sending text messages is a cost-effective approach. These findings support the implantation of the combined program across primary care health centres.

Abstract
Background Pain is one of the major symptoms complained about by patients in the prehospital setting, especially in trauma. Due to the mountainous topography, there may be a time delay between injury and arrival of professional rescuers, in particular on ski slopes. Administration of a safe opioid by first responders (FR) may improve overall treatment. We therefore assessed the use of nasally administered Nalbuphine as analgesic treatment in trauma patients by FR at various skis resort in Switzerland.Methods This observational study examined a cohort of 267 patients given Nalbuphine by FR in various ski resorts in Switzerland. All FR were instructed how to administer Nalbuphine before treating patients. A treatment algorithm was developed and distributed to assure that Nalbuphine was only administered following a strict protocol. Data regarding pain scores and pain reduction after administration of Nalbuphine were collected on-site. Refills were handed out with each completed questionnaire.Results Nalbuphine decreased the level of pain statistically significant and clinically relevant by a median of 3 units on the NRS for pain. The multivariate regression model showed that pain reduction was more pronounced in patients with higher initial pain level. Nalbuphine was less effective in patients aged 20-60 years compared to the adolescent population. No major side effects were observed.Conclusion Nasal Nalbuphine by FR was a noninvasive pain management strategy that provided safe and effective analgesia in prehospital, acute­ly injured patients. This may be an alternative method especially in circumstances of severe pain and prolonged time between arrival of the FR and arrival of EMS / HEMS personnel on scene.
