Abstract
Energy system modelling can be used to assess the implications of different scenarios and support improved policymaking. However, access to data is often a barrier to starting energy system modelling in developing countries, thereby causing delays. This article therefore provides data that can be used to create a simple zero order energy system model for Libya, which can act as a starting point for further model development and scenario analysis. The data are collected entirely from publicly available and accessible sources, including the websites and databases of international organizations, journal articles, and existing modelling studies. This means that the dataset can be easily updated based on the latest available information or more detailed and accurate local data. These data were also used to calibrate a simple energy system model using the Open Source Energy Modelling System (OSeMOSYS) and three stylized scenarios (Fossil Future, Least Cost and Net Zero by 2050) for 2020–2050. The assumptions used and results of these scenarios are presented in the appendix as an illustrative example of what can be done with these data. This simple model can be adapted and further developed by in-country analysts and academics, providing a platform for future work.
Enhanced third-order optical Kerr nonlinearity in SiN nanowires with integrated 2D graphene oxide films
Authors: Moss David 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Layered 2D graphene oxide (GO) films are integrated with silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides to experimentally demonstrate an enhanced Kerr nonlinearity via four-wave mixing (FWM). Owing to the strong light–matter interaction between the SiN waveguides and the highly nonlinear GO films, the FWM performance of the hybrid waveguides is significantly improved. SiN waveguides with both uniformly coated and patterned GO films are fabricated based on a transfer-free, layer-by-layer GO coating method together with standard photolithography and lift-off processes, yielding precise control of the film thickness, placement and coating length. Detailed FWM measurements are carried out for the fabricated devices with different numbers of GO layers and at different pump powers. By optimizing the trade-off between the nonlinearity and loss, we obtain a significant improvement in the FWM conversion efficiency of ≈7.3 dB for a uniformly coated device with 1 layer of GO and ≈9.1 dB for a patterned device with 5 layers of GO. We also obtain a significant increase in FWM bandwidth for the patterned devices. A detailed analysis of the influence of pattern length and position on the FWM performance is performed. Based on the FWM measurements, the dependence of GO’s third-order nonlinearity on layer number and pump power is also extracted, revealing interesting physical insights about the 2D layered GO films. Finally, we obtain an enhancement in the effective nonlinear parameter of the hybrid waveguides by over a factor of 100. These results verify the enhanced nonlinear optical performance of SiN waveguides achievable by incorporating 2D layered GO films.

Published: May 2021

The objective: to establish the prevalence of postoperative delirium (POD) and the influence of various factors in intra- and postoperative periods on its occurrence in children with septal congenital defects requiring surgical interventions with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Subjects and methods: 40 children from 6 to 36 months and weighing from 7.5 to 15 kg were enrolled in the study; they underwent planned radical surgery of septal CHD with cardiopulmonary bypass. In the postoperative period, all patients were tested using the Cornell Assessment for Pediatric Delirium validated for children of this age. Cerebral damage was also assessed using three specific serum markers: protein S-100-ß, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and glial fibrillar acidic protein (GFAP) before the surgery, upon bypass completion, and in 16 hours after the operation.Results. The study revealed the incidence of delirium in 22.5%. When analyzing many factors of the intra- and postoperative period, it was found that the use of donor blood components in the primary volume of CPB filling was statistically significantly more often observed in patients with established delirium: 7 (78%) and 13 (42%) (p = 0.049). Also, it was found that levels of S-100-ß, NSE, and GFAP were significantly higher in patients with confirmed POD.The study described the incidence of POD in children after surgical treatment of congenital heart disease under cardiopulmonary bypass and showed that intraoperative transfusion was a risk factor for the development of delirium. The role of markers of cerebral damage in the diagnosis of POD was also proven.

The objective: to evaluate the effect of combined use of analgesics, dalargin and tissue metabolism correctors on endocrine-metabolic disorders in patients with thoracoabdominal trauma who were injured in road accidents.Subjects and methods. A single-center prospective randomized study was conducted in 30 victims of road accidents with thoracoabdominal trauma and traumatic shock. In 15 patients of the main group, in addition to conventional therapy, dalargin, lornoxicam were administered intravenously, and remaxol was infused.Results. The combined use of analgesics, dalargin and correctors of tissue metabolism contributed to the maintenance of cortisol concentration at the level of compensated stress in patients of the main group, which indicated more favorable adaptive capabilities of the body.Conclusions. Intensive therapy in patients of the main group helps to reduce the severity of anaerobic processes, optimize energy processes at the cellular level, reduce the enzymatic activity of the liver, and reduces the hospital stay of patients by 5 bed-days.
The characteristics and in-sewer transport potential of solids derived from domestic food waste disposers
Authors: Legge Abigail , Nichols Andy , Jensen Henriette , Tait Simon , Ashley Richard 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This study aims to assess the transportability of food waste disposer particles within a sewer system. A series of laboratory studies has examined the physical characteristics of solid particles derived from domestic food waste disposers. Particle size distributions and maximum settling velocity characteristics were measured for 18 common food types, and stored in a publicly accessible database. Particle size distributions are shown to fit well with a 2-parameter Gamma distribution. Settling velocity is generally higher for larger particles, except when particle density and sphericity change. For most food types, particle specific gravity was close to unity. Egg shell particles had a significantly higher specific gravity. This information, combined with the particle size data have been used to show that there is a very low likelihood of food waste particle deposition in sewers during normal operational flows, other than temporary transient deposits of egg shell particles.
Potential Candidates against COVID-19 Targeting RNA-Dependent RNA
Polymerase: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Agrawal Neetu , Goyal Ahsas 
Published: May 2021

Abstract:
Due to the extremely contagious nature of SARS-COV-2, it presents a significant threat to humans
worldwide. A plethora of studies are going on all over the world to discover the drug to fight SARS-COV-2. One
of the most promising targets is RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), responsible for viral RNA replication
in host cells. Since RdRp is a viral enzyme with no host cell homologs, it allows the development of selective
SARS-COV-2 RdRp inhibitors. A variety of studies used in silico approaches for virtual screening, molecular
docking, and repurposing of already existing drugs and phytochemicals against SARS-COV-2 RdRp. This review
focuses on collating compounds possessing the potential to inhibit SARS-COV-2 RdRp based on in silico studies
to give medicinal chemists food for thought so that the existing drugs can be repurposed for the control and treatment
of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic after performing in vitro and in vivo experiments.
The Quality of Life of Thalassemic Patients: The Role of Endocrine Defect
Compensation
Authors: Mattia Lorenza , Samperi Irene , Monti Salvatore , Toscano Vincenzo , Pugliese Giuseppe , Poggi Maurizio 
Published: May 2021

Background:
The improvement of beta thalassaemia treatments has led to an increase in
life expectancy. This implies the emergence of new comorbidities. Amongst others, endocrine
glands are extremely sensitive to iron overload.

Objective:
We aimed to understand the impact of the endocrine conditions on the patient’s quality
of life (QOL).

Results:
Hypogonadism may present with lack or delay of pubertal development, sexual dysfunctions
and impaired fertility, which impact QOL in both sexes. Early recognition and treatment, as
well as choosing the most appropriate therapy, according to patient’s needs (fertility, pubertal development,
psychological concerns, comorbidities), are advisable.
Osteoporosis affects QOL irrespective of symptoms. Growth hormone deficiency may occur both
in childhood and in adulthood, and it affects different aspects of QOL. In adults, it could be difficult
to examine if the symptoms are due to GHD, and a trial of GH replacement could be useful to
identify benefits and needs.
Glucose metabolism impairment is common in thalassaemic patients and early recognition is
mandatory because long-term complications can have a detrimental impact on QOL (as blindness
or dialysis).
Although the incidence of adrenal insufficiency seems to be rare in thalassaemic patients, when it
occurs, it has a severe impact on QOL.

Conclusion:
Limited data is available on QOL in thalassaemic patients, and is even less related to
endocrinopathies. We can speculate that endocrinopathies have an impact on everyday life. More
studies are needed to allow our patients to achieve not just a longer life but also a better quality of
life.

Authors: Ashraf Sania , Bicchieri Cristina , Delea Maryann G , Das Upasak , Chauhan Kavita , Kuang Jinyi , Shpenev Alex , Thulin Erik 
Published: May 2021

Background
Inconsistent toilet usage is a continuing challenge in India. Despite the impact of social expectations on toilet usage, few programs and studies have developed theoretically grounded norm-centric behavior change interventions to increase toilet use in low-income settings.

Objective
The objective of this paper is to detail the rationale and design of an ex ante, parallel cluster-randomized trial evaluating the impact of a demand-side, norm-centric behavior change intervention on exclusive toilet use and maintenance in peri-urban Tamil Nadu, India.

Methods
Following formative research, we developed an evidence-based norm-centric behavior change intervention called Nam Nalavazhvu (Tamil for “our well-being”). The multilevel intervention aims to improve toilet usage by shifting empirical expectations or beliefs about other relevant people’s sanitation practices. It also provides action-oriented information to aid individuals to set goals and overcome barriers to own, consistently use, and maintain their toilets. This trial includes 76 wards in the Pudukkottai and Karur districts, where half were randomly assigned to receive the intervention and the remaining served as counterfactuals.

Results
We enrolled wards and conducted a baseline survey among randomly selected individuals in all 76 wards. The 1-year behavior change intervention is currently ongoing. At the endline, we will collect relevant data and compare results between study arms to determine the impacts of the Nam Nalavazhvu intervention on sanitation-related behavioral, health, and well-being outcomes and potential moderators. This study is powered to detect differences in the prevalence of exclusive toilet use between study arms. We are also conducting a process evaluation to understand the extent to which the intervention was implemented as designed, given the special pandemic context.

Conclusions
Findings from this trial will inform norm-centric behavior change strategies to improve exclusive toilet usage.

Research Trends in Artificial Intelligence Applications in Human Factors Health Care: Mapping Review
Authors: Asan Onur , Choudhury Avishek 
Published: May 2021

Background
Despite advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) to develop prediction and classification models, little research has been devoted to real-world translations with a user-centered design approach. AI development studies in the health care context have often ignored two critical factors of ecological validity and human cognition, creating challenges at the interface with clinicians and the clinical environment.

Objective
The aim of this literature review was to investigate the contributions made by major human factors communities in health care AI applications. This review also discusses emerging research gaps, and provides future research directions to facilitate a safer and user-centered integration of AI into the clinical workflow.

Methods
We performed an extensive mapping review to capture all relevant articles published within the last 10 years in the major human factors journals and conference proceedings listed in the “Human Factors and Ergonomics” category of the Scopus Master List. In each published volume, we searched for studies reporting qualitative or quantitative findings in the context of AI in health care. Studies are discussed based on the key principles such as evaluating workload, usability, trust in technology, perception, and user-centered design.

Results
Forty-eight articles were included in the final review. Most of the studies emphasized user perception, the usability of AI-based devices or technologies, cognitive workload, and user’s trust in AI. The review revealed a nascent but growing body of literature focusing on augmenting health care AI; however, little effort has been made to ensure ecological validity with user-centered design approaches. Moreover, few studies (n=5 against clinical/baseline standards, n=5 against clinicians) compared their AI models against a standard measure.

Conclusions
Human factors researchers should actively be part of efforts in AI design and implementation, as well as dynamic assessments of AI systems’ effects on interaction, workflow, and patient outcomes. An AI system is part of a greater sociotechnical system. Investigators with human factors and ergonomics expertise are essential when defining the dynamic interaction of AI within each element, process, and result of the work system.

Published: May 2021

Sthaulya is considered as a consuming issue of today’s time, which can be correlated to obesity. It happens because of the sedentary way of life, unwholesome food propensities, absence of physical exercise, mental pressure, and so forth. It has reached at pandemic degrees in India during the 21st century with dismalness affecting 5% of its people. The obesity prevalence has increased day by day in children and adults. This obesity is associated with many medical illnesses (like Hypertension, atherosclerosis and diabetes). The Acharyas also do an elaborative description of Chikitsa. Generally, it consolidates Shodhana and Shamana therapy. Among them, is the Udavartana Karma which has Kaphahara and Medohara property, and is used as often as possible with Rukshana Dravyas. Hence, our aim is to find out the role of Rodhradi gana Udvartan on sthaulya, and objectives that were assessed are body weight, BMI, Body Circumference and Lipid Profile. This was an Open-labelled single-arm interventional clinical study. Fifteen patients (age group 20 to 50) diagnosed with Sthaulya were registered from the outpatient and inpatient of the Department of Panchakarma, Mahatma Gandhi Ayurved College Hospital & Research Centre, Wardha, Maharashtra, India, and Udavartana with Rodhradigana Churna was done for consecutive 15 days. The selected obese patient’s data were statistically analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Paired t-test. Highly significant (p<0.001) result was found in all the assessment of subjective as well as objective parameters. Udavartana has the characteristics of Kapha Hara and Medovilayana properties. Due to Ushna and Tikshna Guna of Rodhradi gana Dravya and strong massage impact, the Virya of medication goes into the body. Thereafter it opens the Siramukha (openings of veins), does the digestion of Kapha and Medas. Based on the results, we concluded that Udavartana with Rodhradigana Churna was profoundly successful in reducing weight, BMI, and Lipid (Kg/cm2, mg/dl) profile with a significant (level of significance 0.05%) reduction in symptoms of Sthaulya.
