Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Connection with Non-Domesticated Animals in the Slovenian and Hungarian Borderland
Authors: Ulicsni Viktor , Babai Dániel 
Published: May 2021

Although a significant proportion of folk knowledge of nature concerns knowledge of invertebrates and vertebrates living in the wild, very little ethnozoological research has been carried out in Central Europe focusing on the whole fauna. In writing the present paper, our aim was to contribute to filling this gap by interviewing 40 local farmers who are particularly knowledgeable on this topic, half of them from the Őrség region of Hungary, and half from the neighboring villages in Slovenia, and by recording their knowledge with respect to non-domesticated animals.Our research identified the second highest number of taxa (242 species-level folk taxa) in terms of investigations carried out in the Hungarian language area in relation to the entire fauna. These included 129 invertebrate folk taxa, 73% of which were called by a species-specific name. They also included 109 vertebrate folk taxa, 103 of which had a separate species-level local name. In the case of two groups (butterflies and mammals), we also investigated attributes that were important and salient from the point of view of species knowledge: morphology and size were of particular relevance in relation to mammal species; while salient habitat features and frequency were relevant in relation to butterfly species. In the case of both groups, usefulness was the least important factor.Despite the general erosion of traditional ecological knowledge in Europe, these recently collected data indicate that a rich, vibrant knowledge is still to be found among the Hungarians whom we interviewed in the Őrség region and the neighboring villages in Slovenia. The especially large number of recorded folk taxa, and the accurate knowledge required to differentiate between them confirm, that even today it is worth carrying out investigations on this topic in East Central Europe in the interests of obtaining knowledge of, and conserving cultural and natural values.

AbstractObjective. The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of a stable concentration of propofol on interictal high‐frequency oscillations (HFOs), which may contribute to identifying the epileptogenic zone intraoperatively for resection surgery.Methods. Nine patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy who underwent invasive pre‐surgical evaluation with chronic subdural electrodes were recruited. Five‐minute electrocorticograms during wakefulness, slow‐wave sleep, and under a stable brain concentration of propofol were recorded with the same electrodes. In each patient, 1–10 pairs of electrodes were selected for both electrodes with EEG changes within 5 seconds from the ictal onset (ictal pattern for 5 seconds [IP5]) and those outside the area of IP5 with no interictal epileptiform discharges (non‐epileptiform [nEPI]). The numbers of ripples (80‐250 Hz) and fast ripples (>250 Hz) were measured semi‐automatically using an established algorithm. Statistical testing was performed with a mixed effect model.Results. Thirty‐seven pairs of electrodes from nine patients were analysed for IP5 and 29 pairs from seven patients were analysed for nEPI. The numbers of HFOs differed between the areas (IP5 and nEPI) and among the conditions (wakefulness, slow‐wave sleep, propofol anaesthesia) (all p <0.01). The HFO occurrence rates were significantly higher for IP5 than those for nEPI in all conditions (for both ripples and fast ripples in all conditions; p <0.01).Significance. The occurrence rates of HFOs for IP5 were significantly higher than those for nEPI under propofol anaesthesia. These are fundamental findings for intraoperative HFO analysis, however, the following limitations should be considered: physiological HFOs could not be completely differentiated from pathological HFOs; in order to apply an HFO detector, an appropriate cut‐off threshold is needed; an artefact of the impulse response filter appears as an HFO; and the series was comprised of a small number of heterogeneous patients.

AbstractMost families with genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus show a mutation in the sodium channel alpha 1 subunit gene, however, but there is much phenotypic heterogeneity and focal epilepsy remains relatively rare. Here, we report a family with electroclinical features indicative of temporal‐parietal‐occipital carrefour epilepsy with common occurrence of post‐ictal migraine. We studied a four‐generation family including nine affected subjects by means of EEG and MRI. Genetic testing was performed by targeted re‐sequencing (gene panel). In most patients, seizure semiology included cognitive, autonomic, and emotional symptoms, eventually evolving towards sensory visual phenomena. Focal sensory vestibular seizures and changes in body perception were also reported in some cases. Post‐ictal migraine was common, occurring in five out of the six (83%) epilepsy patients. A missense mutation (c.1130 G>A; p.R377Q) affecting the S5‐S6 segment (pore region) of the sodium channel alpha 1 subunit was identified in all affected and four unaffected subjects. Temporal‐parietal‐occipital carrefour epilepsy is part of the genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus spectrum. The electroclinical features in this family support the involvement of a genetically impaired neural network. High prevalence of post‐ictal migraine suggests the role of posterior brain areas in the clinical expression of this gene defect.

AbstractWe present pharmacokinetic data during pregnancy and lactation for brivaracetam, lacosamide and perampanel based on two case studies. Patient 1 used brivaracetam as monotherapy and gave birth to twins. Patient 2 used a combination of brivaracetam, lacosamide and perampanel. In both patients, serum drug concentrations were monitored throughout the pregnancies. Drug concentrations were also analysed in umbilical cord blood at birth, in serum from the offspring and in breastmilk after five days and 3–11 weeks. There were minor changes in concentration/dose‐ratios for brivaracetam and lacosamide. The mean milk/serum ratios for brivaracetam and lacosamide were 0.71 and 0.83, respectively, five days and 3–5 weeks after delivery. The perampanel serum concentration increased by up to 80% in Patient 2 during the last part of gestation. The mean milk/serum‐ratio for perampanel was 0.13, unchanged from five days to five weeks after delivery. Whereas serum concentrations of brivaracetam and lacosamide remained fairly stable throughout pregnancy, perampanel concentrations seemed to steadily increase towards the end. The distribution to milk was considerable for brivaracetam and lacosamide and low for perampanel. More studies on mother‐infant pairs are warranted to confirm these results in larger groups.

Published: May 2021

AbstractThe study of dementia and epilepsy may provide particular insight into behavioural alterations. We describe a rare case of ictal aggressive behaviour in a patient with focal epilepsy associated with a non‐dominant dorso‐lateral prefrontal lesion. During focal seizures, our patient showed intense agitation and anger, for a long time misinterpreted as psychogenic attacks, which disappeared after epilepsy surgery. The defined anatomical origin of such ictal emotional behaviour is not fully understood, however, the dorso‐lateral prefrontal area appears to correlate less frequently with aggressiveness compared to the antero‐mesial area. We describe the electroclinical data of our patient and provide a brief review of the mechanisms underlying aggressive conduct in epilepsy and dementia. An understanding of this mechanism could help to clarify the neural basis and treatment of violence associated with these and other neurological disorders. [Published with video sequence].

Published: May 2021

Abstract
This study evaluates the seismicity detection efficiency of a new low-cost triaxial accelerometer prototype based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. Networks of MEMS sensors were installed in telecommunication infrastructures to build two small arrays in northern and central Italy. The sensor prototypes recorded major earthquakes as well as nine small seismic events with 2.0&lt;ML&lt;3.0. Where possible, MEMS were compared to the closest high-quality seismic stations belonging to the national accelerometric network. The comparison, in terms of peak ground accelerations and spectral responses, confirms that the signals are in good agreement. The tested inexpensive MEMS sensors were able to detect small local events with epicentral distances as large as 50 km and provided an efficient characterization of the main motion parameters. This confirms that the proposed accelerometer prototypes are promising tools to integrate into traditional networks for local seismicity monitoring.
Raspberry Shake Instruments Provide Initial Ground-Motion Assessment of the Induced Seismicity at the United Downs Deep Geothermal Power Project in Cornwall, United Kingdom
Authors: Holmgren Joanna M. , Werner Maximilian J. 
Published: May 2021

AbstractRaspberry Shake (RS) seismographs offer the potential for affordable and citizen-led seismic monitoring in areas with few publicly available seismometers, especially in previously quiescent regions experiencing induced seismicity. However, their scientific and regulatory potential remains largely untested. We examine the ground motions recorded by 11 RS and one broadband station within 15 km of the United Downs Deep Geothermal Power (UDDGP) project in Cornwall, United Kingdom, to evaluate the RS network’s suitability to provide an initial ground-motion assessment of the region. To date, the British Geological Survey (BGS) has reported 232 induced events originating at UDDGP since flow testing began in summer 2020, with two events exceeding local magnitude (ML) 1.5. Although the RS accelerometers are too noisy for UDDGP’s microseismic events, the vertical geophones are useful. Peak ground velocity observations are consistent with relevant ground-motion models, whereas peak ground acceleration (PGA) values are greater than predicted. Regional trends in the PGA levels are likely caused by path effects. Finally, RS estimates of ML are similar to those reported by the BGS. For sparse national seismic networks, RS stations can enable a preliminary evaluation of seismic events and their ground motions.

Published: May 2021

El presente artículo pretende analizar el paradigma sociocrítico en su relación con la investigación científica, por ello previamente se define el paradigma como la representación del compromiso de los integrantes de una comunidad científica con una forma de ejercer o guiar la práctica científica. Asimismo, se busca conceptualizar el paradigma sociocrítico, el cual se sustenta en la crítica social con tendencia a la autorreflexión, entendiendo que los conocimientos se construyen en base a inquietudes que surgen de las necesidades de determinados grupos sociales (Maldonado, 2018), en donde el investigador a diferencia del paradigma positivista deja de ser solo un observador para convertirse en un generador de cambio que facilite las transformaciones sociales. Por otro lado, se analiza los orígenes, postura de autores, características, principios y aplicaciones en distintas especialidades. Finalmente, a través de las conclusiones se busca reflexionar acerca de la aplicabilidad del paradigma sociocrítico en nuestra sociedad.

Published: May 2021

Purpose of the study: This study attempts to provide an analysis of the energy sector of Pakistan including generation and quality of electricity, and potential of renewables for climate change mitigation.
Methodology: The study used a quantitative approach for analysis. Primary and secondary data sources are used.
Main Findings: According to the quantitative analysis institutions fail to meet the growing demand due to insignificant or no increase in capacity to produce power. CO2 emissions are rising because of increased reliance on coal and other thermal sources for electricity generation.
Applications of this study: It proposes to increase the reliance on renewable resources and align the policy and regulatory framework for setting a sustainable economic system. The government should also plan for a rigorous electric supply system that would ensure the quality and sustainability of the electricity supply.
Novelty/Originality of this study: It sets a benchmark analysis and sets the direction for the policymakers especially at the stage when the country has settled the shortage issue, but at the cost of increasing fossils share in the fuel mix, whereas the transmission and distribution of electricity supply are ignored.

Background. After tubularized incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty meatal and urethral dilatation is a common practice. There are some complication of uretheral dilatation like urethral bleeding,urethral perforation and creating a false passage. Moreover dilating the urethra regularly is physically or psychologically painful both for the child and the parents. The aim of this study was to justify the necessity of uretheral dilatation after TIP urethroplasty.Material and Methods. This study was a prospective, comparative study performed in Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital from July 2017 to June 2020. Total 60 respondents were participated in this study with maintain inclusion criteria. Respondents with primary distal and mid-shaft hypospadias where TIP urethroplasty was indicated, admitted in Dhaka Shishu Hospital during study period were included. Group 1 was assigned non dilatation group and Group 2 was assigned to regular urethral ditatation group after TIP urethro- plasty. Fistula formation, meatal stenosis and neourethral stricture were compaired between two groups. Informed written consents were taken from legal guardians. Data ware analyzed by SPSS Program.Results. In this study there was no significant difference of ages between two groups. In Group 2 10 %( 3)respondents developed urethrocutaneous fistula, 10% (3) respondents developed meatal stenosis and 3.33% (1)respondents developed neourethral stricture. On the other hand. In Group 1 10% (3) respondents developed urethrocutaneous fistula, 6.66% (2) respondents developed meatal stenosis. None of patient in Group 1 developed neourethral stricture.Conclusion. There was no significant difference in fistula formation, meatal stenosis and neourethral stricture in between regular urethral dilatation group and non-dilatation group after TIP urethroplasty.

Case:
A 49-year-old man, who had started jogging 3 months before his first participation in a marathon race, presented with acute pain and difficulty walking that began during the marathon race. Tumors and bone metabolism factors were ruled out by blood examination and various imaging findings. Isolated iliac wing fatigue fracture was diagnosed and treated with conservative therapy.

Conclusion:
This is the first English-literature report we know of an isolated iliac wing stress fracture in a male marathon runner without underlying disease. Our study highlights the importance of considering this rare fracture when diagnosing patients presenting with iliac pain.
Lengthening After Nonvascularized Fibula Grafting for Large Postinfective Bone Defect
Authors: Pinto Deepika , Mehta Rujuta , Agashe Mandar 
Published: May 2021

Case:
We describe a case of lengthening of the tibial regenerate after nonvascularized fibula grafting, for postinfective tibial gap nonunion in a child. A large tibial defect secondary to osteomyelitis in a 10-month-old boy was reconstructed using a 5-cm fibula autograft. Concomitant distal tibial physeal arrest led to progressive shortening. Distraction osteogenesis was performed, through the grafted segment, on 2 occasions—at the ages of 3.5 and 8 years—to achieve total lengthening of 9 cm and good functional recovery at 11.5 years of age.

Conclusion:
The tibial regenerate after nonvascularized fibula grafting in children has good potential for distraction osteogenesis.

Authors: Haws Brittany E. , Sanders James O. , Cook P. Christopher 
Published: May 2021

Case:
Isolated unilateral congenital patellar tendon absence is a rare condition that has not been well described. We report on 2 patients with congenital patellar tendon absence that underwent soft-tissue reconstruction of their patellar tendon. We present the clinical and radiographic features, surgical management with both single-stage and multistage approaches, and postoperative outcomes for the treatment of this condition.

Conclusion:
Soft-tissue reconstruction of the patellar tendon led to satisfactory outcomes, providing active knee extension and improved ambulation in both cases. In cases of significant superior migration, multiple procedures may be required to mobilize the patella to an appropriate position.
