Abstract
Objective: To investigate the risks of patients with stage IA1-IIA1 cervical cancer after laparoscopic hysterectomy, and whether adjuvant radiotherapy is necessary.Patients and Methods: From January 2013 to December 2016, we retrospectively analyzed 221 patients with cervical cancer of stage IA1-IIA1. Sixty-two patients were treated with laparoscopic hysterectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy (group A), 115 patients only underwent open surgery (group B) and 44 patients received laparoscopic hysterectomy alone (group C). Local recurrence-free survival（LRFS) was the primary outcome, distant metastasis free survival (DMFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were secondary outcomes in the study.Results: The median follow-up time was 58.33 months (range, 56.91-59.76 months) for all the patients. Three groups were balanced in terms of baseline characteristics. The 3-year LRFS rates were 98.4% in group A, 97.4% in group B, and 86.4% in group C, respectively. The LRFS rates of group A and B surpassed group C ( group A vs. B, p=0.634; group A vs. C, p=0.011; group B vs. C, p=0.006). In subgroup analysis of stage IB1-IB3 disease, the 3-year LRFS was 100% in group A , 98.8 % in group B and 83.1% in group C, the 3-year OS rates were 100% in group A, 98.9% in group B, 91.5% in group C. The 3-year LRFS and OS rates on group A and B were significantly superior to group C ( p<0.05 ). No benefits of adjuvant radiotherapy were observed in patients with stage IA and IIA1 cervical cancer.Conclusions: There is a risk of local failure in laparoscopic hysterectomy for early stage cervical cancer. Adjuvant radiotherapy can reduce the risk of recurrence and improve local control for women with early cervical cancer and bring survival benefits for patients with stage IB disease after minimally invasive hysterectomy.

Abstract
Background: Obstetrics triage is one of the major concerns of hospitals and health care providers. Satisfaction with the services received is a consequence and an important indicator in the assessment of service quality. However, service providers should frequently assess client satisfaction and use high reliability and validation tools to meet clients' needs. Thus, the aim of this study was designing and psychometric Satisfaction Assessment Tool for Obstetrics Triage.Methods: The current study is methodological research and was conducted by the exploratory sequential mixed method in two qualitative and qualitative stages. The first stage using a content analysis approach for describing the concept of satisfaction and then the initial items were extracted and the questionnaire was designed. In the second stage, the designed questionnaire was conducted on 200 subjects referring to obstetrics triage in terms of face validity, content validity, and construct validity by exploratory factor analysis. Reliability was calculated with internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and stability with ICC. Results: Ten items were extracted from the content analysis. Ten items were evaluated to face and content validity and no items were deleted. In the construct validity, one item was eliminated and nine items were extracted in two factors of structure and process satisfaction that explained 63.40% of the total variance. The numerical CVR of all items was above 0.49 and the I-CVI Modified Content Validity Index (K *) of all items ranged from 0.86 to one, and the S-CVI score was 0.97. The intra-cluster correlation coefficient was 0.884 and Cronbach's alpha was 0.793. Conclusion: The SATOT is a valid and reliable questionnaire for the assessment of the satisfaction of clients with obstetrics triage. The questionnaire consists of nine items with two dimensions (process and structure satisfaction) of five-point Likert scoring is a simple and easy-to-use tool. This questionnaire may help health providers and policymakers identify problems and challenges in triage that led to dissatisfaction and inappropriate outcomes and take appropriate action as appropriate.

Abstract
Background: Proton beam therapy (PBT) is a new-emerging cancer treatment in China. The treatment costs are high and not yet covered by Chinese public medical insurance. The advanced form of PBT, intensity-modulated proton radiation therapy (IMPT), has been confirmed to reduce normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) compared with conventional intensity-modulated photon-radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of IMPT versus IMRT for OPC patients in China, aiming at guiding proper use of PBT. Methods: On the basis of published data, a 7-state Markov model was designed for cost-effectiveness analysis, and an evaluation of average level was performed on a base case of 56-year-old under the hypothesis that IMPT could make a 25% NTCP-reduction concerning to long-term symptomatic dysphagia and xerostomia. Model robustness was examined using probabilistic sensitivity analysis, cohort analysis and tornado diagram. One-way sensitivity analyses were performed to identify cost-effective scenarios. IMPT was considered as cost-effective if the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was below the societal willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold (3 times the gross domestic product per capita / quality-adjusted life year (QALY)).Results: Compared with IMRT, IMPT could provide an extra 0.724 QALYs at an additional cost of 34,926.6 US dollars ($), and made an ICER of $48,229.8/ QALY for the base case. At current WTP level of China ($30,828/QALY), cost-effective scenarios of IMPT existed in the following independent conditions: ≥ 57.3% NTCP-reduction (IMPT compared with IMRT) in dysphagia and xerostomia; patient age ≤ 38-year-old; or the cost of IMPT ≤ $37,398.1. The estimated cost-effective population that benefit from using PBT to treat OPC increased remarkably in the past 10 years with the economic growth, and reached to 559.7 million (about 40.0% of the China’s total population) in the year 2020. Conclusions: Currently, using PBT to treat OPC could be cost-effective in considerable proportion of China’s population. Considering the economic growth, the gradual increment of medical insurance coverage, as well as the proton treatment cost reduction along with more proton facility opening in the near future, it is estimated that PBT would benefit more Chinese OPC patients with respect to cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
Background: Conventional diagnostic methods have some limitations in diagnosing specific causes of canine hepatobiliary disorders. In the evaluation of the hepatobiliary system in dogs, ultrasonography (US) is the first imaging method of choice. Nonetheless, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has also been proven to be a practicable technique for evaluating canine hepatobiliary (endoscopic retrograde cholangiography, ERC) and pancreatic duct (endoscopic retrograde pancreatography, ERP) disorders, providing additional therapeutic options by sphincterotomy (EST). To date, the efficacy and safety of diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP has not been evaluated in veterinary medicine literature. The present study sought to report complications and outcomes of dogs undergoing ERCP and EST, and to assess the usefulness of diagnostic ERCP by comparing the findings of US, ERCP and histopathological findings in liver and pancreas. Results: This retrospective case series comprises data collected from 15 dogs that underwent successful ERC/ERCP. Nine dogs underwent EST following ERC. US and ERC were most in agreement when assessing the common bile duct. In case of disagreement between the modalities, the ERC findings of the ductal structures were in line with the available pathology findings more often than the US findings, whereas the opposite was noted for the gallbladder. The technical success rates were 88.2% for ERC, 66.7% for ERP, and 81.8% for EST, with no major complications during or immediately after the procedure. Immediate bile flow after EST was recorded in 7/9 dogs but only four showed coinciding clinical and laboratory improvement and four dogs were euthanized within one to six days after EST. Conclusions: US remains a valuable initial diagnostic imaging method for hepatobiliary disorders and allows good assessment of the gallbladder. ERC can serve as a complementary procedure for diagnostic assessment of the hepatobiliary duct disorders. However, in order to improve the outcomes of EST, careful selection of patients for the procedure would require more advanced diagnostic imaging of the hepatobiliary area.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to identify landslides hazard prone areas in North Ethiopia. The landslide hazard in the present study area was evaluated by using the logistic regression model. Seven landslide causative factors were used for the landslide hazard evaluation, these are; slope gradient, slope aspect, elevation, proximity to streams, land-use/ land-cover, lithology and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. Besides, for the present study landslides inventory data for the period of 2000 to 2018 was collected from the field survey and the Google earth image interpretation. The coefficient for the considered causative factors and classes were used for the identification of landslides hazard index using raster tool in ARCGIS environment. The prediction of the logistic regression model reveals that one third of the study area (32%) is under high hazard zone and the steep slopes and the elevated areas are most susceptible areas. The predicted landslides hazard zonation map is highly correlated with the training data set where 74% of it lies in the very high and high landslide hazard zones. Results of the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve for the training sample, was found to be 0.76 while the area under the ROC curve of the validation sample was 0.71. Thus, the validation results has confirmed the rationality of adopted methodology, considered causative factors and their evaluation in producing LHZ map for the area. Further, the study has forwarded recommendations that can be followed to prevent and mitigate the adverse impact of landslides in the study area.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
The water sector is at the center of climate change impacts matrix. The objective of this study was to determine the sustainability of the response strategies in the water sector in the Mutirikwi sub-catchment in Masvingo. The study obtained its data form surveys recorded meteorological data from the Zimbabwe Meteorological Services Department’s four weather stations in the catchment, namely, Makoholi, Masvingo Airport, Buffalo Range and Zaka. Time series analysis of temperature data from 1952 to 2002 and rainfall pattern from 1972 to 2010 was done using the XL STAT software. The results show that the seasonal average rainfall decrease from 1972 to 2010 was not statistically significant (p=0.635, α=0.05), but the decline bears a significant environmental impact. The seasonal maximum temperature increase was statistically significant (p=0.000, α=0.05), and the seasonal minimum temperature increase was not significant (p=0.226, α=0.05). Vulnerability varies spatially within urban areas and between urban and rural. Vulnerability is determined by social status and aggravated by management issues. Borehole use has increased and water harvesting, water reuse and water transfers are the main adaptive responses used in the catchment. The study concludes that current response strategies are not sustainable. There is a need to design area-specific response mechanisms that are all inclusive to ensure that communities are able to adapt to climate change with regard to water resources.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
Purpose: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a serious public health problem worldwide. This study sought to examine the associations of daily average temperature (AT) and relative humidity (ARH) with the percent increase in COVID-19 cases. Methods: Daily confirmed cases and meteorological factors in 38 districts of India were collected between 1st April 2020 to 30th April 2020. Taking a 5-day time lag of average values of the variables and multiple days-samples, we ran multiple models and performed appropriate hypothesis tests to decide the single preferred model for each sample data. Suitable fixed effects (FE) and random effects (RE) models with cluster-robust standard errors were applied to quantify the district-specific associations between meteorological variables and COVID-19 cases. Results: All FE models revealed that every one-degree rise in AT led to a decrease in 3.909 points (on average) in percent increase in COVID-19 cases. All RE models showed that with one unit increase in the malaria annual parasite index, there was a significant increase in 10.835 points (on average) in percent increase in COVID-19 cases. In both FE and RE models, ARH was found to be negatively associated with percent increase in COVID-19 cases, although in half of these models the association was statistically insignificant. Conclusion: Our results indicate that mean temperature, mean relative humidity, and malaria endemicity might have an essential role in the stability and transmissibility of the 2019 novel coronavirus.

WASH and Gender: a critical review of the literature and implications for gender-transformative WASH research
Authors: MacArthur Jess , Carrard Naomi , Willetts Juliet 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
The connections between gender and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) are profound, and the sector is beginning to explore the integration of gender-transformative principles into WASH programming and research. Gender-transformative approaches challenge inequalities and move beyond an instrumentalist approach to gender in development interventions. Through a critical review of academic empirical studies, this paper explores the last decade of WASH-gender literature (2008–2018). Trends were visualised using an alluvial diagram. The reviewed literature was underpinned by a diversity of disciplines, yet was dominated by women-focused, water-focused studies. Although the studies addressed many important gender considerations, few studies engaged with transformational aspects of gender equality. The majority of the studies were based in rural sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, indicating opportunity to explore contextual dynamics in other areas of the global south. Lastly, the studies primarily focus on women of productive age; only a few studies touched on gender dynamics relevant for a diversity of women, and men and boys were mostly absent. Insights from this analysis can inform future studies at the intersection of WASH and gender. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to include a diversity of voices, reflect on the strengths and limitations of research disciplines, and incorporate gender-transformative concepts.

Abstract
Calibration of the groundwater simulation model is one of the main challenges in the modeling process. In addition, hydrogeological complexities and the lack of field data in terms of time and space lead to uncertainty in the model. Therefore, the present study linked the groundwater simulation model (MODFLOW) and sequential uncertainty fitting approach (SUFI-2) to the uncertainty-based automatic calibration of the Ardabil groundwater model located in northwestern Iran. Hydraulic conductivity, specific yield, recharge rate, the hydraulic conductivity of the riverbed material, and the boundary conductance of the aquifer were considered as the uncertain parameters. Furthermore, the Newton solution method for the unconfined aquifer was used for solving the groundwater flow equation. A Normalized Total Uncertainty Index was defined to evaluate the performance of the SUFI-2 algorithm. According to the MODFLOW-SUFI-2 calibration findings, 60% of observational data was bracketed by a 95% confidence interval, on average. The Ardabil groundwater model was also calibrated with the PSO algorithm. In comparison with SUFI-2, although this method resulted in good coverage of the solution, it obtained irrational values for most parameters since they only aimed to match observational and computational values. Eventually, SUFI-2 showed a small number of simulation runs compared with the PSO algorithm.
Waste water reuse in France – social perception of an unfamiliar practice
Authors: Garin Patrice , Montginoul Marielle , Noury Benjamin 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThis article presents the results of a local survey conducted in a French wine-growing region where the public authorities were considering irrigating fields and green spaces with treated wastewater. Interviews were conducted face-to-face with 845 potential consumers close to their purchasing place. The majority were in favour of such a project and willing to use recreation areas and purchase local farm products irrigated with treated wastewater. However, we demonstrated the paucity of lay knowledge about treated wastewater. Simple information flyers have a significant effect on attitudes and intended behaviours. Nevertheless 20% of informed respondents said they would no longer buy such irrigated products. Given the lack of confidence in the public authorities' guarantee of food quality, they will be unlikely to change their minds. These unacceptable results to farmers may interest public authorities promoting these projects, still rare in France, in response to the increase in droughts.
