A possible stress interaction between large thrust and normal faulting earthquakes in the Mexican subduction zone
Authors: Mikumo Takeshi , Singh Shri Krishna , Santoyo Miguel A. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractA large, nearly vertical, normal-faulting earthquake (Mw = 7.1) took place in 1997 in the subducting Cocos plate just beneath the ruptured fault zone of the 1985 Michoacan, Mexico, earthquake (Mw = 8.1). We investigate the possibility of stress interaction between the two large events through a 3D analysis of coseismic-stress change that was due to the first event, taking into consideration the postseismic change and the dynamic rupture process of the second event. In the middle portion of the subducting plate at depths below 30 km, the calculated coseismic increase in the vertical-shear stress and in the Coulomb-failure stress beneath the high stress-drop zones of the 1985 earthquake is in the order of 0.4 to 0.8 MPa. It was also found that the 1997 earthquake took place in the zone of maximum coseismic-stress increase. Possible postseismic-stress changes due to the subduction process or to the loading of the overriding continental lithosphere and from aseismic slip would enhance the coseismic-stress change and hence the possibility of occurrence of a normal-faulting earthquake in the subducting plate. The dynamic rupture pattern of the 1997 event seems to be consistent with the inferred stress interactions.
Le pouvoir de la langue

Récemment, pendant un stage à l'hôpital, j'ai traité une patiente âgée (Mme C) qui avait eu un accident vasculaire cérébrale (AVC). Elle parlait dans une langue anglaise si brisée qu'il était difficile de la comprendre et de faire un diagnostic approprié. Mme C m’a informé que son voisin était à l’extérieur lorsqu’elle avait eu son AVC, et il a appelé les Services Médicaux d'Urgence (SMU) car elle ne pouvait pas se lever par elle-même, mais surtout parce qu’elle était sûre que les SMU n’auraient pas compris son accent Français épais au téléphone. Étant moi-même bilingue, je lui ai immédiatement demandé si c’était préférable de continuer la consultation en français. Sans aucune hésitation, elle a répondu avec enthousiasme « Oui, oui, ça me ferait si contente ». Vers la fin de la consultation, Mme C a pris mes deux mains entre les siens et m’a profondément remercié d’avoir fait l’effort supplémentaire d’effectuer son évaluation en Français. Elle m’a informé que c’était la première fois depuis qu’elle avait immigré au Canada, il y a plus de trois décades, qu’elle recevait des soins de santé en Français et qu’elle espérait que ce ne serait pas la dernière. Cette expérience avec Mme C m’a poussé à me demander combien d’autres patients ont enduré ou endureront une situation pareille? Quel est l’ampleur du problème? Comment remédier à cette situation? Quel est l’impact sur la qualité des soins reçus quand le Docteur et le patient ne parlent pas la même langue? Pour répondre à toutes ces questions, j’ai effectué une étude bibliographique approfondie dont les résultats les plus saillants sont mis en relief dans ce qui suit.
Déploiement du vaccin : Impact socio-économique sur l’obtention de l’immunité contre la COVID-19
Authors: Donohue Morgan 
Published: August 2021

La pandémie de COVID-19 est sans aucun doute la plus grande crise sanitaire des temps modernes. Avec presque 933,785 infections et 22,676 morts au Canada [1], il est de la plus haute importance de distribuer rapidement des vaccins approuvés aux populations les plus touchées. Tragiquement, ces populations sont principalement des Canadiens racialisés et à faible revenu. Cependant, Ottawa n'a actuellement aucun plan pour aider ces personnes à surmonter les obstacles à l'accès aux soins de santé, y compris l'accès au vaccin COVID-19. Des subventions pour le transport, la perte de salaire, ainsi que plus d'information sur le vaccin (engagement du publique) sont nécessaires pour la vaccination des familles à faible revenu au Canada.
Pendant cette pandémie, les gens le plus touchées par le virus au Canada sont des familles a fiable revenu et des personnes racialisées. Par exemple en Ontario entre Janvier 2020 et Juin 2020, les quartiers connaissant des niveaux élevés de pauvreté affichent deux fois plus de taux d'infection au COVID-19 que les communautés à revenu élevé. De plus, les personnes infectées provenant de quartiers à faible revenu ont connu plus de complications graves à la suite de l'infection [2]. Les raisons sous-jacentes potentielles à cela pourraient être dues à une exposition accrue au virus, ainsi qu'à un risque plus élevé de conditions préexistantes dans ces populations [3]. Malheureusement, ces divisions entre les classes qui se traduisent par de moins bons résultats de santé dans les communautés à faible revenu existaient bien avant la pandémie de COVID-19. Les barrières financières qui entraînent une mauvaise qualité des aliments, des environnements de logement insalubres et une augmentation des niveaux de stress global contribuent actuellement aux comorbidités signalées de pauvreté (hypertension, diabète, maladies cardiovasculaires, et maladies respiratoires chroniques) [3]. Ces conditions mentionnées ci-dessus placent cependant les personnes ayant une faible statistique socio-économique à un risque élevé de complications graves du COVID-19.

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the major causes of mortality among women worldwide. By simple pap screening test cervical cancer and its precursor lesions can be detected and treated early. The aim of the study was to determine and analyze Pap smear reports from women presenting with various gynaecological indications in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at Rama Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Hapur over a period of 6 months. Patients with various complaints between ages 21 to 70 years were screened during August 2020 to January 2021 by taking Pap smear using Ayres spatula. Total 330 patients were studied. Slides were reported according to the 2014 Bethesda system.Results: Maximum number of cases were in the age group 31-40 years constituting 32.72% of the total cases followed by age group 41-50 years. Vaginal discharge was the commonest chief complaint seen in 32.12% cases followed by menorrhagia. Maximum number of cases reported as non-specific inflammatory smears (64.54%). Among epithelial cell abnormalities incidence of LSIL was 2.42% followed by ASCUS (1.82%).Conclusions: Pap smear testing is an economical, non-invasive and simple OPD procedure to detect potentially precancerous and cancerous lesions of cervix. It should be established as a routine screening procedure to reduce the treatment burden, morbidity and mortality.

The decreasing of the influence of parasitic inductance of tested object on the accuracy of its electrical capacitance measurement
Authors: Kostjukov Ivan , Moskvitin Evgenij 
Published: August 2021

This paper gives a description of measurement technique which can be used in practice of carrying out estimation of electrical capacitance of tested object with substantial stray inductance. Electrical capacitance is determined as a ratio of mean value of discharge current to the mean value of time derivative, taken from voltage on unknown capacitance. The decreasing of deleterious impact of stray inductance on accuracy of measurements is achieved by proper selection of the duration of analyzed signals. In proposed technique the duration is limited by instants of time that correspond to the maximum value of discharge current and to the termination of transient. The accuracy of described method for electrical capacitance estimation is affected by noisy components of obtained oscillograms. This deleterious impact can be alleviated by smoothing of time dependence by applying of least square method. Another reason for lost of accuracy is associated with possible influence of skin-effect in conductive elements of discharge circuit, which can cause time dependence of resistance and inner inductance of conductive parts of tested object and discharge circuit. Described technique, however, is based on taking into consideration independent on time parameters of equivalent lamped discharge circuit. Nevertheless, the example of practical implementation has shown that described approach allows to partially mitigate the influence of stray inductance on carried out measurements of electrical capacitance, as the value of relative error turned out to be equal to 2.04%
A Novel Endosteal Reconstruction of the Femur from Distal Femoral Remnant Using 3D-Printed Titanium Rings
Authors: Huang Yong , Zhou Yixin , Shao Hongyi , Yang Dejin , Tang Hao , Guo Shengjie 
Published: August 2021

Case:
Femur reconstruction with only the distal femoral remnant is challenging because of poor bone volume required for stem fixation. Although proximal femoral replacement, total femur replacement, allograft prosthesis composite, and custom porous tantalum implants are options, hybrid fixation enhanced by endosteal reconstruction with three-dimensional (3D)-printed porous titanium rings to reconstruct the femur without supporting isthmus has not been described. We report 2 cases with satisfactory 34- and 22-month follow-up results of hybrid fixation enhanced by endosteal reconstruction with 3D-printed porous titanium rings.

Conclusion:
This novel method provides a solution to revise loosened femoral endoprosthesis with only distal femoral remnant.

Discriminating intra-parasequence stratigraphic units from two-dimensional quantitative parameters
Authors: Isla Manuel F. , Schwarz Ernesto , Veiga Gonzalo D. , Zuazo Jerónimo J. , Remirez Mariano N. 
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACT
The intra-parasequence scale is still relatively unexplored territory in high-resolution sequence stratigraphy. The analysis of internal genetic units of parasequences has commonly been simplified to the definition of bedsets. Such simplification is insufficient to cover the complexity involved in the building of individual parasequences. Different types of intra-parasequence units have been previously identified and characterized in successive wave-dominated shoreface–shelf parasequences in the Lower Cretaceous Pilmatué Member of the Agrio Formation in central Neuquén Basin. Sedimentary and stratigraphic attributes such as the number of intra-parasequence units, their thickness, the proportions of facies associations in the regressive interval, the lateral extent of bounding surfaces, the degree of deepening recorded across these boundaries, and the type and lateral extent of associated transgressive deposits are quantitatively analyzed in this paper. Based on the analysis of these quantified attributes, three different scales of genetic units in parasequences are identified. 1) Bedset complexes are 10–40 m thick, basin to upper-shoreface successions, bounded by 5 to 16 km-long surfaces with a degree of deepening of one to three facies belts. These stratigraphic units represent the highest hierarchy of intra-parasequence stratigraphic units, and the vertical stacking of two or three of them typically forms an individual parasequence. 2) Bedsets are 2–20 m thick, offshore to upper-shoreface successions, bounded by up to 10 km long surfaces with a degree of deepening of zero to one facies belt. Two or three bedsets stack vertically build a bedset complex. 3) Sub-bedsets are 0.5–5 m thick, offshore transition to upper-shoreface successions, bounded by 0.5 to 2 km long surfaces with a degree of deepening of zero to one facies belt. Two or three sub-bedsets commonly stack to form bedsets. The proposed methodology indicates that the combination of thickness with the proportion of facies associations in the regressive interval of stratigraphic units can be used to discriminate between bedsets and sub-bedsets, whereas for higher ranks (bedsets and bedset complexes) the degree of deepening, lateral extent of bounding surfaces, and the characteristics of associated shell-bed deposits become more effective. Finally, the results for the Pilmatué Member are compared with other ancient and Holocene examples to improve understanding of the high-frequency evolution of wave-dominated shoreface–shelf systems.
The Deceleration of Radio/Light Transmission; A Collision Mechanism Dependent Radio Signal Emission, Transmission, and Reception
Authors: Zhang Jing 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The fast and slow fading of radio signal transmissions or laser beam itself and its spare light confirm the presence of two kinds of collisions --- electron-photon and photon-photon collision. Photon transmissions of radio signals are either consecutive dense photon groups in slow fading process or widespread group pattern in fast fading form. The photon transmission shapes are irregular and dynamical changes. The radio frequency shift and the wavelength reduction by the calculation demonstrate decelerations of radio/light transmission speeds due to the gradual reduced distance between two consecutive photon groups along the transmission pathway. Photons from radio signals are able to affect electron movements in radio signal receiving process and electrons able to kick photons into space during radio signal emission. The pattern of free electron movement under the influence of local electromagnetic force in antenna is consistent with the randomly dynamic changes of radio signal in space. The fast fading is due to the collision of consecutive photon groups of signals in slow fading with free photons in space. The shape changes of radio signal peaks suggest photons able to remain in transmission photon groups after photon-photon collision, leading to deceleration transmissions in slow fading. The mathematical equation for the relationship between light/radio transmission speeds before and after photons collisions is established. The equation is confirmed by the calculations of well-known difference of light transmission speeds in different media. The gravities from Earth and Sun play little role during light/radio transmission.
