ABSTRACT.
We determined the prevalence of Kelch 13 mutations and pfmdr1 copy number in samples collected from the Thailand–Myanmar border, the Thailand–Cambodia border, and southern Thailand from 2002 to 2007. C580Y was the most prevalent in Trat (Thailand–Cambodia border) and Ranong (Thailand–Myanmar border) at 42% (24/57) and 13% (6/48), respectively. Less predominant mutations were also identified including R539T (7%, 4/57) and Y493H (2%, 1/57) in Trat, P574L (6%, 3/48) and P553L (2%, 1/48) in Ranong, and N537I and D452E (7%, 1/15) in Sangkhlaburi (Thailand–Myanmar border). Samples from Mae sot (33%, 11/33) harbored the highest percentage of multiple pfmdr1 copies, followed by Trat (18%, 10/57), Chiang Dao in 2003 (13%, 4/30), Phang Nga (5%, 2/44), and Chiang Dao in 2002 (4%, 1/26). This retrospective study provides geographic diversity of K13 and pfmdr1 copies and the emergence of these molecular markers in Thailand, an important background information for future surveillance in the region.
Case Report: Angiostrongylus cantonesis Myelitis in Thailand

Published: July 2021

ABSTRACT.
A 67-year-old man presented with headache, middle back pain that radiated to both legs, and paresthesia in the right leg for 1 day. He had eaten raw shrimp 1 week previously. Over the next week after admission, he developed urinary retention and weakness in both legs. The numbness in his right leg expanded to below the umbilicus. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spinal cord showed myelopathy with minimal cord swelling at T9 to the conus medullaris and a hemorrhagic lesion from T10 to T11. A complete blood count on day 28 after the onset of symptoms revealed leukocytosis without eosinophilia and no white blood cells in his cerebrospinal fluid. Results of an immunochromatographic test kit were positive for Angiostrongylus cantonesis but negative for Gnathostoma spinigerum. After a 4-week course of albendazole combined with a tapering dose of dexamethasone, he achieved nearly complete recovery.
A comprehensive study of synthesis and applications of core/shell nanoparticles
Authors: Tiwari Anju , Tripathi Ankit Kumar , Khare Prateek 
Published: July 2021

When we consider matter at nanoscale, one of the most important aspects to be considered is that due to the small size of the particles, these have increased surface area to volume ratio. The large value of this ratio increases the dominance of the surface atoms of the nanoparticles in relation to those in its interior. A special category of materials at nanoscale level has gained popularity in the recent times due to their interesting properties and applications. When classified on the basis of structure, the types of core/shell particles can have a large variety. Each of this structural classification has its own importance, method of synthesis and application. The core/shell nanoparticles have some distinct features that is responsible for their importance. The properties of Core/shell nanoparticles are highly modified from that of their simple pure nanomaterials, thus they usually called highly functional materials. The introduction of a different crust layer over the core particle has many reasons, such as it helps in implementing surface modification, increases functionality, stability and dispersibility, control on the release of the core, lowering the consumption of precious materials, and so on. These nanostructures can have a number of combinations in close interaction, depending upon the selection of material used, which highly influences the end application. This paper has an overview of the present methods involved in synthesis and tunable factors responsible for their end applications. The development of metal/metal oxide core-shell nanoparticles has become popular nowadays due to their widespread use in catalysis and other environmental remedial applications.

Published: July 2021

The paradigm shifts in the electrical industry from demand-driven generation to supply-driven generation due to the incorporation of renewable generating sources is a growing research field. Implementing demand response in present-day distribution schemes is anattractive approach often adopted by microgrid (MiG) operator.This paper incorporates an incentivebased demand response (IBDR) method in a grid-connected microgrid (MiG) comprising of conventional generators (CGs), wind turbines (WTs), and solar PV units. The main aim is to collectively minimize the fossil fuel cost of CGs, lower the transaction cost of portable power from the grid, and maximize theMiG operator's profitafter implementing demand response. This multi-objective problem combining optimal economic load dispatch of MiG with an efficient demand-side response is solved using a proposed Quasi-opposed Grey Wolf Optimizer (QOGWO) algorithm. The effect of the proposed algorithm on demand-side management (DSM) is analyzed for two cases, (i) varying the value of power interruptibility (ii) varying the maximum limit of curtained power. Performance of QOGWO is compared with original GWO and a variant of GWO, Intelligent Grey Wolf Optimizer (IGWO). Results show the superior global search capability and complex constrained handling capability of QOGWO.

Published: July 2021

Abstract. Objectives: The purpose of this case series is to describe the orthopedic
management of pubic symphysis osteomyelitis with an emphasis on the key
principles of treating bony infection. Furthermore, we sought to identify whether debridement of the pubic symphysis without subsequent internal fixation
would result in pelvic instability.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed to identify all cases of
pubic symphysis osteomyelitis treated at both institutions from 2011 to 2020. Objective outcomes collected included infection recurrence, change in pubic
symphysis diastasis, sacroiliac (SI) joint diastasis, and ambulatory status.
Subjective outcome measures collected included the numeric pain rating scale
(NPRS) and the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36). Pubic symphysis diastasis
was measured as the distance between the two superior tips of the pubis on a
standard anterior–posterior (AP) view of the pelvis. SI joint diastasis was measured bilaterally as the joint space between the ileum and sacrum
approximately at the level of the sacral promontory on the inlet view of the
pelvis. A paired t test was utilized to compare the differences in outcome measures. An α value of 0.05 was utilized. Results: Six patients were identified, of which five were males and one was
female (16.7 %), with a mean ± standard deviation (SD) follow-up of 19 ± 12 months (range 6–37 months). Mean ± SD age was 76.2 ± 9.6 years (range 61.0–88.0 years) and body mass index (BMI) was 28.0 ± 2.9 kg/m2 (range 23.0–30.8 kg/m2). When postoperative
radiographs were compared to final follow-up radiographs, there were no
significant differences in pubic symphysis diastasis (P = 0.221) or SI
joint diastasis (right, P = 0.529 and left, P = 0.186). All patients were ambulatory without infection recurrence at final follow-up. Mean improvement
for NPRS was 5.6 ± 3.4 (P = 0.020) and mean improvement for SF-36
physical functioning was 53.0 ± 36.8 (P = 0.032).
Conclusion: This case series highlights our treatment strategy for pubic
symphysis osteomyelitis of aggressive local debridement with local
antibiotic therapy. Additionally, debridement of the pubic symphysis without
subsequent internal fixation did not result in pelvic instability, as
determined by pelvic radiographs and ability to fully weight bear postoperatively.
Inside Animalinside, Ottilie Mulzet's Translation of László Krasznahorkai’s Állatvanbent
Authors: Sherwood Peter 
Published: July 2021

László Krasznahorkai is now the best-known Hungarian writer in the English-speaking world (perhaps in the world, period). But what is the precise nature of the relationship between his Hungarian works and their English translations that have been, on the whole, so well received in Britain and especially the USA? This article takes a very close linguistic look at one his shorter works, ÁllatVanBent, in a version by Ottilie Mulzet, co-recipient with George Szirtes of the translators’ share of the 2015 Man Booker International Prize, which recognized Krasznahorkai for his “achievement in fiction on the world stage.” I argue that Ottilie Mulzet’s translation is in a hybrid English that in some places evidences a misunderstanding of the Hungarian, and in others claims to be a foreignized, “Krasznahorkai-English” that is, however, insufficiently justified by the original. More broadly, the article thus takes issue with the increasingly widely held view that the translator is not merely a co-author but enjoys a kind of authorial autonomy that implies that the translation can be judged without close reference to the original. As Krasznahorkai’s known views on translation suggest the acceptance of this notion, he is therefore, to a degree, complicit in the partial misrepresentation (and hence misconstrual) of his work.

Universities before facing the industrial era 5.0, have to improve themselves a lot. Especially how to survive (survive). One of them is by implementing risk management, not only in the financial sector, but risk management in a social context, in this case reputation risk. In order to survive, universities pump their lecturers to be productive in the field of research, in addition, with the number of scholarship recipients for their students, as well as the acceptance of university graduates in the world of work.

Mineral Exploration: Discovering and Defining Ore Deposits
Authors: Wood, AO Dan , Hedenquist Jeffrey 
Published: July 2021

Editor’s note: The Geology and Mining series, edited by Dan Wood and Jeffrey Hedenquist, is designed to introduce early-career professionals and students to a variety of topics in mineral exploration, development, and mining, in order to provide insight into the many ways in which geoscientists contribute to the mineral industry.

Abstract
For economic geologists, mineral exploration has a specific objective: the discovery of mineral concentrations that can be recovered economically to provide resources essential for society. This was achieved consistently until the first decade of the current century, but exploration since then has been wealth destructive. This outcome is a major issue for the mining industry unless reversed. We believe the technologies presently used to discover ore deposits will be as useful in making future discoveries as they were previously. However, we argue that a new approach is required in how exploration is conducted and in how these and emerging technologies are applied. The required changes in approach include improved business models for conducting exploration and acceptance that fewer deposits are likely to be discovered near the surface. We argue that discovery of deeper deposits will be facilitated if exploration teams (1) seek to identify subtle evidence of mineralized rock recognizable within 500 m of the surface, (2) conduct follow-up investigations with a clear understanding of the volumetric dimensions of the discovery target, and (3) drill boldly as a critical exploration tool. We propose that improving the way geoscientists think when exploring—being more predictive—is the immediate key to increasing the number of discoveries.
Mine Planning and the Crucial Role of Geology

Editor’s note: The Geology and Mining series, edited by Dan Wood and Jeffrey Hedenquist, is designed to introduce early-career professionals and students to a variety of topics in mineral exploration, development, and mining, in order to provide insight into the many ways in which geoscientists contribute to the mineral industry.

Abstract
Mine planning is the process that determines the way in which an ore deposit will be mined over the life of a mining operation. It necessarily draws on everything that planning engineers believe will determine the ultimate success of the proposed mine and uses as its foundation all of the geology-related data on the deposit. It is both a strategic and a tactical process that first considers a longer-term horizon based on strategic considerations, followed by more detailed shorter-term planning processes, in this order; the latter are the result of tactical considerations.
This structured process may also be referred to as integrated mine planning, and it is driven by a broader corporate strategy or set of objectives. As such, it is much more than the mining engineering section of the mine development process. It has to include inputs from all related disciplines, by combining all of the measured properties of the deposit with mining-associated parameters. This results in the planning process incorporating a significant number of interrelated parameters. If these parameters are not used diligently and accurately or are not well aligned, or if the underlying data are deficient in either quantity or quality, the project or operation is unlikely to achieve its potential, by virtue of failures in the planning process.
Best-practice integrated planning incorporates relevant inputs from all mining-related fields: geology, geotechnical, geochemical, hydrogeological, hydrology, mining operations, minerals processing, marketing of product, waste management, tailings, environmental, social science, mine closure, etc. It includes all interfaces in the business-value driver model, from exploration drill holes to the mine closure plan. The planning process cannot be completed successfully by mining engineers working in isolation from professionals in other key disciplines. Because geology provides the foundation on which the mine plan is built, the quality and accuracy of the geologic data provided to planning teams by exploration geoscientists is crucial.
