Anatomical study of dorsalis pedis artery
Authors: Gautam Ajeevan , Sintakala Chandan 
Published: April 2020

Background: The dorsalis pedis artery is the dorsal artery of the foot. The knowledge of any variation in the course and distribution of the artery is clinically important and it is used to record peripheral pulsation. The aim of this study was to study origin, course, relation and branches of the artery. The length and diameter of surgically important branch were recorded.
Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted at dissection hall of anatomy department at Chitwan medical college. Thirty lower limbs from fifteen cadavers were dissected for the study. Photographs were taken at different site of dissection and on finding anomalies. Newborn specimens and Conical enlargements if present were excluded.
Results: The diameter of the artery ranged from 3.0 to 4.6mm and its length ranged between 5.6cm to 8.4cm.The length of deep plantar artery was between 5.6cm to 8.4cm. Double lateral tarsal artery was found in (24)80% of the studied specimen and (6)20% were with single lateral tarsal artery. In 90% of the specimen medial tarsal artery originated as proximal and distal branch form medial aspect of dorsalis pedis. The arcuate artery emerged directly from dorsalis pedis artery in (100%) all studied specimen. The 2nd ,3rd and 4th metatarsal artery were placed on their corresponding intermetatarsal space.
Conclusions: Awareness of anatomical variation of vasculature of foot is important for the vascular surgeons, angiographers and reconstruction surgeons. Dorsalis pedis artery is excellent for the revascularization since it is the largest artery below the ankle joint.

Authors: Joshi Pravin , Belbase Narayan , Mishra Rohit Kumar , Karki Mukesh , Das Lalit Kumar 
Published: April 2020

Background: Meckel's diverticulum is the commonest gastrointestinal congenital anomaly. Though most of the cases do not present clinically, they are challenging to diagnose if become symptomatic. Spectrum of clinical presentation may be different from umbilical fistula, omphalomesenteric cyst to fibrous band from diverticulum to umbilicus. Bleeding, obstruction and infection are the most common complications. Vast majority of them are detected only intra-operatively.
Methods: We analyzed our patients who were intra-operatively diagnosed as symptomatic Meckel's Diverticulum. Socio-demographic profile and immediate outcome of operated patients was analyzed from patient's records.
Results: Total 9 patients were operated for symptomatic Diverticulitis. All patients were diagnosed intraoperatively. Intestinal obstruction was the commonest presentation. Diverticulectomy was the most common procedure performed followed by wedge resection and segmental bowel resection.
Conclusions: Symptomatic Meckel’s Diverticulum is difficult to diagnose pre-operatively. Vast majority of them are found only intra-operatively. Most of the patients do well after resection of Meckel's Diverticulum.
Keywords: Meckel’s diverticulum; surgery; symptoms.

Authors: Nepal Ojashwi , Thapa Samjhana , Kasti Roshan , Jha Reena Kumari , Amatya Mrigendra 
Published: April 2020

Background: Public transport drivers are constantly being exposed to stimuli and are at risk of disorder of peripheral nervous system which can be further complicated by comorbidities. Thus, we wanted to examine intactness of tactile discriminatory ability in healthy drivers by comparing it to healthy samples of non-driving population. Since two point discrimination (TPD) test is frequently used for neurological assessment of tactile stimulation we determined and compared various locations in hands of two populations.
Methods: Participants were asked to answer whether they feel one point or two points touch by blunted end of simple compass divider in their hand. The minimum distance between the points at which the participants could answer correctly was noted as two point discrimination value.
Results: Drivers had TPD range of 2-4mm with mean 2.53±0.62 and, 1-4mm with mean 2.6±0.72 at middle finger of right and left hand respectively. Following t-test between drivers versus students, significant difference in the mean TPD value in the proximal palm supplied by median nerve (p=0.016) and proximal palm corresponding to ulnar nerve (p=0.032) on the right hand was found. On the left hand, significant difference in the mean TPD value is found in the proximal palm corresponding to median nerve (p=0.008) and ulnar nerve (p=0.043) respectively.

Conclusion: Healthy public transport drivers have less tactile discriminating prowess at proximal palmar surface of hand. Examined distal phalanges and distal palm showed no significant difference in mean of TPD values for healthy drivers versus students.
Statin Drug Therapy May Increase COVID-19 Infection
Authors: Shrestha Sanjaya Kumar 
Published: April 2020

Enveloped viruses like Coronavirus acquire their envelope from the host cell membrane which is a bilayer of phospholipid interspersed with cholesterol molecules and proteins. Viruses enter their host cell by coming in contact with their specific receptors. Experiments have shown that when cell membranes are depleted of cholesterol in vitro by Methyl beta cyclodextrin (MβCD) these Coronaviruses are not able to enter the host cell membrane by the process of receptor mediated endocytosis. Statin inhibits HMG Co-A reductase, a key enzyme in the Mevalonate pathway resulting into either very low or no production of endogenous cholesterol by the human cells. This results into upregulation of LDL-R in the cell membrane which may lead to more cholesterol getting incorporated into the cell membrane through LDL-C from the plasma creating greater number of lipid rafts suitable for entry of enveloped viruses by receptor-mediated endocytosis.
Effect of joining temperature on Al2024/Ag/Ti-6Al-4V joints during transient liquid phase bonding
Authors: Naeimian Hamid , Mofid Mohammad Ammar 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of bonding temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al2024 and Ti-6Al-4V diffusion bonds using a 30 μm pure silver foil as interlayer. Using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, line scan and X-ray diffraction, the interfaces of joints were evaluated. The mechanical properties of joints were measured using Vickers micro-hardness and shear strength. At the bonding temperature of 570°C joints contained a non-uniform distribution of elements and various intermetallic phases. With increasing bonding temperature, an uninterrupted microstructure is achieved. According to the results, liquid eutectic formed between Ag interlayer and Al2024, while solid-state diffusion occurs between the Ag interlayer and Ti-6Al-4V. The increase in bonding temperature from 570 to 580 °C resulted in higher shear strength, from 71 MPa to 121 MPa.

Organizational performance is an important issue for researchers and managers including managers in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) for it can be the indicator of success. It also provides accurate information for startegic decision making.Many factors influence organizational performance. One of them is knowledge management (KM) practices. Theoretically and empirically, effective KM practices improve performance. Many researches have been conducted in regard of HEI performance. Unfortunately, in the context of private HEIs in the City of Jambi, the literature and empirical evidences are very rare. This current research aims to fill the gap. It also aims to examine its link with organizational performance. Data was collected through the distribution of questionnaire to randomly-selected lecturers and employees. Further, the data was analyzed with regression analysis by applying SPSS V.26. The result shows that knowledge dissemination and knowledge storage system partially and simultenously affect organizational performance. Interestingly, the constanta value in the regression model is negative. This implies that performance might be decreased if KM is not implemented. Then, it is suggested to private HEI operators especially those in the City of Jambi implement KM.

The purpose of the research in IIS to know and analyze the impact of the haze on the performance of business traders market. This research belongs to the type of descriptive research. Descriptive research that aims to describe, describe and analyse existing events and aims to obtain information about the impact of haze in accordance with existing theories. Data collection method through dissemination of questionnaires and questions answered. The population in this study is the market merchant of Rengat City. Determination of sample count of 100 respondents/market trader. The data analysis technique used to analyze this research data is to be descriptively used statistical analysis in the form of a percentage formula because its purpose is to see the trend of the indicators of each variable and the research is only aimed to describe the reality in the field is not to be seen relations or comparisons. In this study, researchers used Likert measurement scales. The Likert scale relates to a statement about a person's attitude toward something. The results of this study can be concluded that: (1) The health of the market traders of the city of Rengat is interrupted because of the thick haze that affects the trading activity itself. (2) The income of market traders in the city of Rengat is decreasing due to declining people's desire to shop in the market due to the worry of being exposed to haze which can cause ISPA disease and other health disorders. (3) The market environment of the Rengat is affected by the smoke of the daily Trader's life. Usually traders have already held their trades starting from the beginning of the morning, because the haze of most traders often come late to the market (overdo). (3) The education of students from the family of market traders in the city of Rengat is also affected by the haze so that it must be dissolved until normal weather conditions are back. Because of this, students have a lot of missed material and have to force themselves to pursue the lag by adding hours and learning tasks that are much beyond the student's thinking capacity.

Published: April 2020

Using the methods of physicochemical analysis (XRD, petrography, scanning electron microscopy analyses) phase equilibria were firstly investigated in the ternary system СeO2–La2O3–Eu2O3 system at 1250 ºС. It was established that in the system there exist fields of solid solutions based on cubic with fluorite-type structure (F) and cubic (С) and monoclinic (B) modification Eu2O3 and hexagonal (A) modification of La2O3. No new phases were found. The refined lattice parameters of the unit cells for solid solutions for the systems were determined. The cubic ceria-based solid solution has a ﬂuorite-type structure and homogeneity ﬁeld shows the maximum extension. It forms solid solutions of substitution type with phases of binary systems. The boundary of the homogeneity ﬁeld of F-phase is curved from the center of triangle toward the CeO2 corner and passes through appropriate points in the binary CeО2-Eu2O3(100-69 mol % CeO2) and CeO2–La2O3 (100-51 mol% CeO2) systems. The lattice parameters for F phase vary from а = 0.5409 nm in pure СеО2toа = 0.5512 nm in two-phase sample (F + C) containing 55 mol % CeО2-22.5 mol % La2O3-22.5 mol % Eu2O3and to а = 0.5526 nm in three-phase sample (F + В + C) containing 40 mol % CeО2-30 mol % La2O3-30 mol % Eu2O3 and to а = 0.5532 nm in three-phase sample (А + F + В) containing 30 mol % CeО2-35 mol % La2O3-35 mol % Eu2O3along the section CeO2 ( 50 mol % La2O3-35 mol % Eu2O3). The lattice parameters for F phase vary from а = 0.5409 nm in pure СеО2 to а = 0.5444 nm nm in two-phase sample (F + C), containing 70 mol % CeО2-3 mol % La2O3-27 mol % Eu2O3and to а = 0.5465 nm in three-phase sample (F + В + C) containing 20 mol % CeО2-8 mol % La2O3-72 mol % Eu2O3. The homogeneity field of solid solution based on A-La2O3 extends to 17 mol % СеO2 and 20 mol % Eu2O3 in the corresponding binary systems and locates near the composition 5 mol % CeO2-90 mol % La2O3-5 mol % Eu2O3 on the section La2О3 - (50 mol % CeО2-50 mol % Eu2О3). The boundary of the homogeneity ﬁeld of B- Eu2O3 phase passes through appropriate points in the binary CeО2-EuO3 (0-1 mol% CeO2) and–Eu2O3 (0-25 mol% La2O3) systems. The isothermal section of the CeO2– La2O3–Eu2O3 system at 1250°C contains four three-phase regions (A+F+B, F+B+C) and five two-phase regions (F+A, A+B, F+B, B+C, F+C).
Exploration history and place names of northern East Greenland
Authors: Higgins Anthony K. 
Published: April 2020

The first recorded landing by Europeans on the coast of northern East Greenland (north of 69°N) was that of William Scoresby Jr., a British whaler, in 1822. This volume includes a chronological summary of the pioneer 19th century exploration voyages made by British, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, French and German expeditions – all of whom reported that the region had previously been occupied by the Inuit or Eskimo; also included are brief outlines of the increasing number of government and privately sponsored expeditions throughout the 20th century, whose objectives included cartography, geology, zoology, botany, trapping and the ascent of the highest mountain summits.
In 1934 the Place Name Committee for Greenland was established, the tasks of which included a review of all place names hitherto recorded on published maps of Greenland, their formal adoption in danicised form, and the approval or rejection of new name proposals. In northern East Greenland, by far the largest numbers of new place names were those proposed by scientists associated with Lauge Koch's geological expeditions that lasted from 1926 until 1958. This volume records the location and origin of more than 3000 officially approved place names as well as about 2650 unapproved names.
The author's interest in the exploration history and place names of northern East Greenland started in 1968, when the Geological Survey of Greenland initiated a major five-year geological mapping programme in the Scoresby Sund region. Systematic compilation of names began about 1970, initially with the names given by William Scoresby Jr., and subsequently broadened in scope to include the names proposed by all expeditions to northern East Greenland. The author has participated in 16 summer mapping expeditions with the Survey to northern East Greenland. Publication of this volume represents the culmination of a lifetime working in the Arctic.
Lithostratigraphy of the Upper Oligocene – Miocene succession of Denmark
Authors: Skovbjerg Rasmussen Erik , Dybkjær Karen , Piasecki Stefan 
Published: April 2020

This paper presents a revised lithostratigraphic scheme for the uppermost Upper Oligocene – Miocene succession of Denmark. The marine Oligocene Brejning Clay Member is upgraded to formation status and includes the Sydklint Member and the Øksenrade Member (new). The shallow marine and deltaic deposits of mainly Early Miocene age are included in the Ribe Group (new) while the fully marine Middle and Upper Miocene clay-rich deposits are referred to the Måde Group (new). The Ribe Group is subdivided into 6 formations: the Vejle Fjord Formation is revised and includes the Skansebakke Member, the Billund Formation (new) includes the Addit and Hvidbjerg Members (new), the Klintinghoved Formation is redefined formally and includes the Koldingfjord Member (new), the Bastrup Formation (new) includes the Resen Member (new), the Vandel Member is a new member in the Arnum Formation (revised), the Odderup Formation is redefined and includes the Stauning Member (new) and the coalbearing Fasterholt Member. The Måde Group is subdivided into the Hodde, Ørnhøj (new), Gram and Marbæk (new) Formations. Subdivision of the Upper Oligocene – Miocene succession into two groups, the Ribe and Måde Groups, is compatible with the North Sea lithostratigraphic framework where they correlate with the upper part of the Hordaland Group and the Nordland Group, respectively.
The revised lithostratigraphic framework correlated in three dimensions provides rigorous constraints on the palaeogeographic interpretation of the Late Oligocene – Miocene period. Three major deltaic units (Billund, Bastrup and Odderup Formations) prograded from the north and north-east into the North Sea Basin during the Early – early Middle Miocene. Delta progradation was punctuated by deposition of marine clay and silt associated with minor transgressive events (Vejle Fjord, Klintinghoved and Arnum Formations). During the Middle–Late Miocene, marine depositional conditions dominated (Hodde, Ørnhøj and Gram Formations). A fourth and final progadational event (Marbæk Formation) commenced in the latest Tortonian heralding the emergence of present-day Denmark (including the North Sea sector).

<p>O potencial de uso de Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais (PANCs) no Brasil ainda é desconhecido e exige a realização de mais estudos, e pode se tornar ferramenta importante no estabelecimento de sistemas de produção em bases sustentáveis. A <em>Moringa oleifera</em> é um exemplo de PANCs, a mesma é originária da Índia e pertencente à família Moringaceae. Nas últimas décadas, as suas sementes têm sido objeto de estudos em diferentes áreas. A moringa possui propriedades nutricionais importantes. O conteúdo em proteínas, vitaminas e minerais são significativos e é considerado um dos melhores vegetais perenes. Teve-se como objetivo comparar a composição físico-química das sementes de moringa oriundas de dois estados do Nordeste brasileiro. As sementes utilizadas na pesquisa foram coletadas em dois estados, a saber: Bahia e Paraíba. No Laboratório de Processamento e Armazenamento de Produtos Agrícolas, da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande as sementes foram selecionadas e descascadas manualmente. Realizaram-se as análises físico-químicas de teor de água, atividade de água, acidez total titulável, pH, cinzas, proteínas, carboidratos e lipídios. A atividade de água das sementes pode ser classificada como intermediária, assim como baixa acidez, atendendo às exigências previstas pela legislação brasileira, que determina um mínimo de 0,8% de acidez em ácido cítrico. O pH foi classificado como pouco ácido, a quantidade de cinzas foi superior ao da literatura, ambas as sementes contém alto teor proteico, os parâmetros lipídios e carboidratos apresentaram-se diferentes, sendo as sementes da Paraíba as que resultaram em maiores teores de lipídios e a menor quantidade de carboidratos. O conhecimento das características físico-químicas das sementes de moringa permite a sua aplicação em diversos produtos alimentícios, e a verificação do seu comportamento frente ao cultivo em diferentes estados é, certamente, um aspecto importante.</p>
