Authors: Agarwalla Avinesh , Rawicki Nathaniel L. , Weigel Tracey L. , Asprinio David E. 
Published: February 2021

Case:
A 70-year-old woman pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle presented with multiple orthopaedic injuries including a humeral head fracture dislocation with a large segment of humeral head located in the mediastinum. Thoracic surgery personnel performed a minimally-invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic extraction of the humeral head, and the patient underwent subsequent reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Conclusion:
Intramediastinal displacement of the humeral head is a rare, yet serious traumatic injury that necessitates early recognition and comanagement with cardiothoracic or thoracic surgery. Early thoracic intervention to extract the humeral head and replacement arthroplasty is an effective treatment modality.

Abstract
Seasonal sediment flux change is a key issue in riverbed evolution and flood control. This paper analyzed variations in sediment fluxes of the Yangtze River in dry and flood seasons during 1961–2014 and the impacts of precipitation change and human interference. Sediment fluxes in both dry and flood seasons decreased by 6.8–74.6 and 14.6–38.7%, respectively, based on daily sediment observations at six mainstream stations. However, precipitation increased sediment yields in both dry and flood seasons by 0.72–4.22 t/km2 (3.5–17.8%) and 4.95–73.32 t/km2 (1.9–25.5%), respectively, based on the reconstructed sediment series without anthropogenic interference. Therefore, sediment reduction due to human conservation measures and dam construction was up to 0.07–20.74 t/km2 (0.9–64.6%) in dry seasons and 27.47–85.35 t/km2 (6.5–23.7%) in flood seasons during 1980–2002, and further reduced 3.61–41.31 t/km2 (46.0–102.9%) in dry seasons and 175.63–471.52 t/km2 (59.6–126.2%) in flood seasons after the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) became operational in 2003. Contributions of human activities in six subregions to the reduction of the seaward sediment fluxes were calculated. Therein, the TGR only took up 3.2 and 23.9% in dry and flood seasons, respectively, which is below expectation.

Abstract
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections and diarrheal illness affect billions of people yearly. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in Nueva Santa Rosa, Guatemala to identify factors associated with STH infections and diarrhea using univariable and multivariable logistic regression models. On multivariable analyses, we found associations between STH infections and two factors: school-aged children (odds ratio (OR) vs. adults: 2.35, 95% CI 1.10–4.99) and household drinking water supply classified as ‘other improved’ (OR vs. ‘improved’: 7.00, CI 1.22–40.14). Finished floors in the household vs. natural floors were highly protective (OR 0.16, CI 0.05–0.50) for STH infection. In crowded households (&gt;2.5 people/bedroom), observing water present at handwashing stations was also protective (OR 0.32, CI 0.11–0.98). When adjusted for drying hands, diarrhea was associated with preschool-age children (OR vs. adults: 3.33, CI 1.83–6.04), spending &gt;10 min per round trip collecting water (OR 1.90, CI 1.02–3.56), and having a handwashing station ≤10 m near a sanitation facility (OR 3.69, CI 1.33–10.21). Our study indicates that familiar WASH interventions, such as increasing drinking water quantity and water at handwashing stations in crowded homes, coupled with a hygiene intervention like finished flooring may hold promise for STH and diarrhea control programs.
Role of city collaboration networks in the acceleration and attenuation of integrated water management
Authors: Berger Lena , Henry Adam Douglas , Pivo Gary 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Inter-city collaboration has gained prominence as a strategy to share practical experience and accelerate the spread of novel sustainability practices. This study explores the potential of collaboration as a means to foster the uptake of integrated water management (IWM). IWM is an innovative approach to water management regarded as key to achieving urban water sustainability. The uptake of IWM has generally been slow due to organizational and institutional challenges. To explore the potential of collaboration to accelerate uptake, we analyze collaboration among 45 cities in Arizona, USA, relative to their IWM engagement and organizational capacity. We find that collaboration patterns reflect cities’ interest in learning about innovative practices. However, there is a tendency to primarily collaborate with others who are in close geographic proximity. IWM practices and organizational capacities are secondary drivers of collaboration. Overall, our findings show opportunities while also urging realistic expectations.

United Nations Peacekeeping Operations in the era of COVID-19
Authors: Makosso Amanda M. 
Published: February 2021

With its seven peacekeeping operations deployed in the African continent, the United Nations peacekeeping seeks to maintain peace and security by helping African states create conditions for sustainable peace. As COVID-19 has exposed the international system’s vulnerability, this analysis seeks to explore what Peacekeeping looks like in the COVID-19 era. By drawing on news articles, reports, and United Nations press releases, this account also examines the challenges faced by peacekeepers in Sub Saharan Africa, a region well known for violent conflicts and warfare. It is interesting to note that peacekeeping in the COVID 19 era appears to have struck a balance between protecting people's health, ensuring civilians protection from threats of physical violence, and taking gender dynamics into account. However, operational changes in peacekeeping missions resulting from COVID-19 seem to have a serious effect on missions and troops and might raise severe implications for the future of peacekeeping in Africa.

Published: February 2021

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of light reflecting colored mulches and only one time spraying with selected insecticides to control the insect vector of Okra Yellow Vein Mosaic Virus (OYVMV) whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) at the central farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka-1207. The experiment was carried out in three blocks layouted with RCBD comprising eight treatments viz. T0 (control/no spray), T1 (1 time spray with imitaf), T2 (1 time spray with protect), T3 (1 time spray with tiddo plus), T4 (1 time spray with terbine), T5 (light reflecting silver color mulch), T6 (light reflecting red color mulch) and T7 (light reflecting black color mulch) with three replications. The mulches were used before sowing and insecticides were sprayed at 30 DAS. It was observed that among the light reflecting colored mulches, the lowest disease incidence (11.48%) was recorded in the plots which mulched with red color mulch (T6). Among the insecticides, the lowest disease incidence (30.17%) was recorded in plots that was sprayed with terbine (one time). Yield and yield contributing characters, morphological and physiological features of okra plant that changes due to disease infection which cause damages in okra production and reduce the fruit quality as well as market value was also the part of this study. Yield and yield contributing characters showed significant variance among the selected treatments. In the relationship study, it was noticed that the yield and plant height was showed negative relationship with disease incidence. However, considering all measuring parameters, spraying with terbine (one time) and used red color mulch may be recommended as good management approaches that will give higher okra production and lower disease incidence of Okra Yellow Vein Mosaic Virus (OYVMV).

Time in Range is a new concept in Diabetology, defining the percentage of the length of time in which the patient stays within a predetermined range of blood glucose. Electronic devices, from which the concept of Time in Range derived, help promote a better comprehension of these procedures, and may lead to a decrease in glycemic variability and to a lower risk of complications. It may also ease the control and adjustments in the treatment of diabetes. Therefore, the application of the Time in Range concept could generate a better diabetes control.
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease caused by hyperglycemia due to changes related to insulin production and action. It has high morbidity and mortality and high prevalence and may affect several age groups. Currently, its classification is based on its etiology, with the most common diagnoses being pre-diabetes, type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. It should be investigated early in patients who have risk factors such as obesity and physical inactivity. It is diagnosed by alterations in fasting or random glucose measurement, oral glucose tolerance test and glycated hemoglobin. Its control and monitoring should be based on glycemic stability. Even more mechanisms are being developed to help the patient in the control of blood glucose, avoiding risks of acute and chronic complications, which can be severe and limiting.
