Published: December 2021

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a focal dilatation of the aortic segment with an increase of 1.5 times the normal value or ≥3 cm. The risk increases in old age and requires alternative surgery such as EVAR. EVAR is more useful in AAA therapy than surgery with wide incisions. This research was descriptive in RSMH Palembang for 5 years in 1st of January 2018 - 31st of December 2020 with variables of patient clinical characteristics and patient CTA results.
The results showed that AAA was more common in men, aged 60-69 years with high school education, risk factors such as a history of CHF, hypertension, CAD, and smoking habits. Angiographic CT result showed proximal diameter > 2 cm, PAU, calcification, iliac aneurysm, and lowest renal artery on the left side. All AAA patients had inferior limb thrombus and angulation > 600. The average of aneurysm is 5.8 cm in diameter and 9.23 cm in length. The mean diameter of the right iliac artery differs from the mean diameter of the left iliac artery. The diameter of the right femoral artery also differs from the diameter of the left femoral artery. AAA patients mostly had no history of CKD, COPD, and DM. The patients were hospitalized for an average of 7 days, especially in the ICU for 2 days.

Authors: Wiśniewska Magdalena , Fraś Anna , Dmoch Agnieszka 
Published: December 2021

The research included 19 breeding lines and 4 cultivars of spring barley from the preliminary field experiments harvested in 2020 in Radzików. All barley samples were characterized for the content of protein, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) with soluble (S-NSP) and insoluble (I-NSP) fractions and β-glucan. Additionally, viscosity of water extracts (WEV) was measured to determine the functional properties of the grain. It was the most diverse parameter (CV = 27%) and was significantly correlated with β-glucan content (r = 0.50; for p <0.05). This dependence is shown by the results obtained for the grain of the Avatar cultivar and the RAH 744/19 breeding line, in which the content of β-glucan (5.3% and 4.8%, respectively), as well as the WEV (3.3 mPa.s and 3.0 mPa.s, respectively) were the highest. The lowest content of β – glucan (3.5%) and one of the lowest WEV values (1.4 mPa.s) were observed for KWS Jessie cultivar. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed a substantial impact of the two components PC1 and PC2 on the variability of the analyzed material showing significant variability of the 5 barley genotypes and confirmed the previous results of biochemical analyzes. Our results made it possible to indicate several genotypes that may constitute a source of variability in breeding works aimed at improving the quality of barley. Presented study also show that the grain of some new barley genotypes, with a favorable chemical composition from a fodder and brewing perspective, is a good material for future use in industry.

Published: December 2021

Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilakukan di Desa Bogori, Kecamatan Serawai, Kabupaten Sintang, Propinsi Kalimantan Barat. Desa Bogori memiliki sungai-sungai yang banyak namun airnya kotor. Sungai-sungai tersebut tidak bisa dimanfaatkan sebagai sumber air minum maupun sebagai sumber air bersih lainnya. Selain itu, Desa Bogori merupakan daerah pedalaman yang tidak dapat dijangkau oleh PDAM sehingga mengandalkan sumber mata air bersih yaitu mata air Ansar yang jarak tempuh dari pusat desa ± 10 km dengan rute jalan tanah yang melewati beberapa bukit. sejak 2010 Pemerintah Desa sudah membuat perpipaan dari sumber mata air dan di distribusikan ke setiap dusun, namun sejak tahun 2012 keran-keran air tersebut sudah tidak berfungsi lagi karena pipa rusak dan tidak adanya anggaran dana untuk proses pemeliharaan fasilitas air bersih. Oleh karena itu solusi yang ditawarkan atas masalah ini yaitu pengadaan dan pendistribusian air bersih dengan membuat proposal pendanaan serta pemasangan pipa paralon yang baru dari sumber mata air Ansar yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat secara gotong royong.
A Lopsided Outer Solar System?

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Axisymmetric disks of eccentric orbits in near-Keplerian potentials are unstable and undergo exponential growth in inclination. Recently, Zderic et al. showed that an idealized disk then saturates to a lopsided mode. Here we show, using N-body simulations, that this apsidal clustering also occurs in a primordial Scattered Disk in the outer solar system, which includes the orbit-averaged gravitational influence of the giant planets. We explain the dynamics using Lynden-Bell's mechanism for bar formation in galaxies. We also show surface density and line-of-sight velocity plots at different times during the instability, highlighting the formation of concentric circles and spiral arms in velocity space.
The fingernail clams (Bivalvia: Veneroida: Sphaeriidae) of Morocco: Diversity, distribution and conservation status

Published: December 2021

In Morocco, many uncertainties surround the current diversity and distribution of the bivalve family Sphaeriidae. Such information, including taxonomy and conservation status, are vital for further studies to improve the knowledge of this family in Morocco and represents the first step towards the development of a national conservation plan for all freshwater bivalves.
Between 2016 and 2019, several investigations were carried out to assess the diversity and distribution of Sphaeriidae in the different basins of Morocco, covering different types of habitat (lakes, springs, rivers and small ponds). The identification of specimens and their morpho-ecological features was based on morphological and morphometric analyses. The data on the general distribution of the collected species allowed the evaluation of their conservation status as well.
The shell morphology and morphometric analyses revealed the existence of five species belonging to the genus Pisidium [P. casertanum (Poli, 1791), P. (cf.) personatum Malm, 1855, P. subtruncatum Malm, 1855, P. amnicum (O. F. Müller, 1774) and Pisidium sp.] and one species to the genus of Musculium [M. lacustre (O. F. Müller, 1774)]. Sphaeriidae were found in all Moroccan basins, except Bouregreg and Sakia El Hamra-Oued Eddahab Basins. The results showed that Sebou Basin was the species richest with the occurrence of the five species, while Loukkos and Sous-Massa Basins had the lowest-species richness with one species only. The conservation status of sphaeriids in Morocco was evaluated for the first time and resulted in P. (cf.) personatum and P. subtruncatum being proposed as Least Concern and Vulnerable, respectively, while the status of Regionally Extinct is suggested for both species P. amnicum and M. lacustre.
First evaluation of the diversity and species richness of the family Sphaeriidae in Morocco with an assignment of an updated conservation status of the recorded species.
Effect of synthesis conditions and composition on structural and phase states and electrical properties of nanogranular (FeCoZr)x (PZT)100-x films (30 ≤ x ≤ 85 at.%)
Authors: Fedotova Julia A. 
Published: December 2021

Granular films containing Fe50Co50Zr10 alloy nanoparticles inside Pb0,81Sr0,04(Na0,5Bi0,5)0,15(Zr0,575Ti0,425)O3 (PZT) ferroelectric matrix possess a combination of functional magnetic and electrical properties which can be efficiently controlled by means of external electric or magnetic fields. The formation of the required granular structure in PZT matrix is only possible if synthesis is carried out in an oxygen-containing atmosphere leading to substantial oxidation of metallic nanoparticles. Thus an important task is to study the oxidation degree of metallic nanoparticles depending on synthesis conditions and the effect of forming phases on the electrical properties of the films.
The relationship between the structural and phase state and electrical properties of granular FeCoZr)x (PZT)100-x films (30 ≤ x ≤ 85 at.%) synthesized in an oxygen-containing atmosphere at the oxygen pressure PO in a range of (2.4–5.0) · 10–3 Pa has been studied using X-ray diffraction, EXAFS and four-probe electrical resistivity measurement.
Integrated comparative analysis of the structural and phase composition and local atomic order in (FeCoZr)x (PZT)100-x films has for the first time shown the fundamental role of oxygen pressure PO during synthesis on nanoparticle oxidation and phase composition. We show that the oxygen pressure being within PO = 3.2 · 10–3 Pa an increase in x leads to a transition from nanoparticles of Fe(Co,Zr)O complex oxides to a superposition of complex oxides and a-FeCo(Zr,O) ferromagnetic nanoparticles (or their agglomerations). At higher oxygen pressures РО = 5.0 · 10–3 Pa the nanoparticles undergo complete oxidation with the formation of the (FexCo1-x)1-δO complex oxide having a Wurtzite structure.
The forming structural and phase composition allows one to explain the observed temperature dependences of the electrical resistivity of granular films. These dependences are distinguished by a negative temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity over the whole range of film compositions at a high oxygen pressure (РО = 5.0 · 10–3 Pa) and a transition to a positive temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity at a lower oxygen pressure (РО = 3.2 · 10–3 Pa) in the synthesis atmosphere and x &gt; 69 at.% in the films. The transition from a negative to a positive temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity which suggests the presence of a metallic contribution to the conductivity is in full agreement with the X-ray diffraction and EXAFS data indicating the persistence of unoxidized a-FeCo(Zr,O) ferromagnetic nanoparticles or their agglomerations.
Relations entre bilinguisme, performances scolaires et fonctions exécutives chez des enfants libanais de 8-10 ans
Authors: al-Naboulsi Darine , Vilette Bruno 
Published: December 2021

De nombreux travaux mettent en avant les effets positifs du bilinguisme dans les domaines langagier, culturel, identitaire, psychologique, ainsi qu’au niveau des FE (Bijeljac-Babic, 2017). Toutefois, certains auteurs remettent en cause l’existence de ces effets (Paap et al. , 2015). Cet article vise à clarifier les effets de l’apprentissage d’une langue seconde sur les fonctions exécutives et les performances académiques auprès d’enfants libanais. Une batterie d’épreuves évaluant le fonctionnement exécutif et les habiletés mathématiques et de lecture a été administrée à des élèves monolingues et bilingues âgés entre 8 et 10 ans et scolarisés au Liban. Les résultats confirment les relations positives attendues entre le bilinguisme, la flexibilité et l’inhibition, ainsi qu’avec les performances en lecture et en mathématique. Par contre, aucune relation n’est retrouvée entre le bilinguisme et l’impulsivité cognitive. Enfin, l’accès lexical chez les bilingues s’avère moins rapide et moins précis que chez les monolingues. En regard des résultats observés, deux nouvelles pistes de recherche sont proposées en lien avec les compétences académiques et les interventions.
Pourquoi l’élection présidentielle ?
Authors: Roussellier Nicolas 
Published: December 2021

L’élection présidentielle occupe une position centrale sur la scène politique française. Le principe d’une élection au suffrage universel semble un garant démocratique. Pourtant, il n’en a pas toujours été ainsi dans le passé. Les guerres et les crises changent la donne en promouvant des figures stables et fortes. Dans le contexte actuel, la question est de nouveau posée : l’élection du Président se télescope avec des attentes de démocratie plus directe. Il faut donc réinventer la fonction présidentielle.
Effects of Adult Biomass and Environmental Conditions on Bigheaded Carp Reproductive Output
Authors: Weber Michael J. , Matthews Aaron , Pierce Clay L. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractBighead Carp Hypothalmichthys nobilis and Silver Carp Hypothalmichthys moltrix (hereafter collectively referred to as Bigheaded Carp) have spread throughout the majority of the Mississippi River since the 1970s. The current northern invasion edge of Bigheaded Carp in the Upper Mississippi River (UMR) spans between Pools 14 and 20 because of limited passage at Lock and Dam (LD) 19. Mechanisms limiting adult Bigheaded Carp abundance above LD19 are unknown but may be due in part to lack of reproductive success influenced by adult abundance and environmental factors. Our objective was to investigate how relative adult biomass and river temperature and discharge affect maximum annual Bigheaded Carp larval production in the UMR using a Ricker stock-recruitment model. Adult Bigheaded Carp relative biomass (kg/h) was estimated annually with boat electrofishing and larvae were collected every 10 d between May and August 2014–2017 in Pools 14–20 in the UMR. Adult relative biomass ranged from 0.0 to 880.9 kg/h, whereas maximum annual larval densities ranged from 0.0 to 2,869.4 larvae/m3. After accounting for variability among pools and years, the most supported linear Ricker stock-recruitment model indicated the number of recruits per spawner decreased with increasing adult relative biomass and increased with mean discharge. Our results highlight the importance of adult biomass and river discharge conditions for reproduction of Bigheaded Carp along leading edges of invasion. Management strategies that aim to maintain low adult abundance where reproduction is not yet occurring could help limit population increases via reproduction, whereas reducing high adult biomass (e.g., commercial harvest, barriers) may result in greater Bigheaded Carp reproductive output in the UMR.
Two for One: Conservation of Aquatic Ecosystems With Buffers Protects Terrestrial Ecosystems
Authors: Denryter Kristin , Brown Patrick W. 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
We evaluated how three widths of buffer zones on greater than or equal to 100-ha wetlands (240, 300, and 390 m) and rivers (10, 20, and 30 m) would help meet watershed conservation goals in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, USA, and whether doing so also would protect each of the predominant types of terrestrial natural communities across the landscape. The use of buffer zones (even the narrowest widths assessed) around wetlands and riparian zones met or exceeded conservation targets in 75% of watersheds and greater than or equal to 85% of subwatersheds evaluated. Wetlands and riparian zones with buffers captured each of the predominant types of terrestrial natural community in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, but not proportionately to their availability across the entire landscape. Our work demonstrates that a landscape-conservation approach focused on wetlands and riparian zones with buffers can conserve terrestrial, wetland, and riparian ecosystems across Michigan's Upper Peninsula and may also be applicable in other areas where mapping of wetlands and rivers occurs.

Authors: Karthaka Christina , Baliga Sulakshana S. , Walvekar Padmaja R. 
Published: December 2021

Background:
Globally 220 countries and territories are affected and cases of COVID-19 have increased by 8% resulting in 3.6 million new cases. The most common symptoms include fever, cough, loss of taste or smell, headache and mortality rate was uncertain. The objective of this study is to know the clinical profile and outcomes of COVID-19 positive patients.

Methodology:
A Cross-Sectional Study was conducted for 2 months (October–December 2020) among 727 COVID 19 positive patients residing in the field practice area of 4 health centers. Details regarding medical history, exposure history, underlying co-morbidities, symptoms, signs clinical features and outcomes (i.e, cured, mortality, and length of stay) were obtained.

Results:
The mean age of participants was 41 ± 17 years, 59.28% were males, 40.71% were females. A significant association was found between age, family history of disease, co-morbid disease, medication history, smoking habit, alcohol consumption, type of symptoms, isolation type, treatment given with outcomes (P < 0.05). Subjects with previous history of medication (HR, 2.749; 95% CI 1.0774–7.015), and those who had symptoms (HR, 3.6446; 95% CI1.0280–12.921) were associated with increased risk of death as compared to others.

Conclusion:
COVID-19 positive was found in 56% of patients, they were less severe and improved with medication and deaths were found in 3.85% of patients. Fever was noted in only 15.72% of patients, gastrointestinal symptoms in 1.22% and respiratory symptoms in 14.74% of patients. Participants with older age were significantly associated with complications and those with co-morbidities were significantly associated with death on multinominal logistic analysis.

Published: December 2021

Context:
COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown have led to adverse psychological outcomes in general population. Stress is mounting at an unbelievable pace and one gender is taking the brunt more than the other. While it’s easy to understand the predicaments of working women and how stressful they are during the lockdown, what escapes the notice is the condition of homemaker women who face a lot of challenges as their workload has increased due to lack of house help. Hence the study was conducted to assess anxiety and stress related to problems arising out of COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown among Indian women.

Methods and Material:
Cross-sectional study was carried out among women across India using snowball sampling technique. Data was collected by a semi-structured online questionnaire based on GAD-7 and PSS scales. It was done using STATA 10.1 and Spearman’s correlation coefficient, Kendall’s Tau, etc., were applied.

Results:
Majority of study participants mentioned either improvement or no change in their personal relations. Anxiety was present in 55.97% and moderate stress in 90.53% of the female participants. Mean GAD and PSS scores were 5.91 and 21.91 respectively. Anxiety and stress were found to be significantly related to getting help in the household work and occupational status. Watching movies and trying different recipes were the main destressors.

Conclusions:
More than half of the women are having anxiety and almost all have some form of stress due to COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown.

Published: December 2021

Context:
Arogyakiranam program, a state-run health entitlement scheme, caters to health care needs of 0 to 18-year-old children, in government hospitals of Kerala. Very few studies have been conducted in this regard.

Aim:
An interim analysis of the functioning of this program through stakeholder perspective facilitates understanding the mode in which the program is currently progressing, thereby paving way for bettering it further.

Methods and Material:
A qualitative study in three purposively selected districts of Kerala consisting of in-depth interviews was conducted across different levels of stakeholders including officials from different health care levels and beneficiary caretakers who bring their wards to these centers.

Results:
The functioning of the scheme with regard to implementation, fund flow, monitoring, documenting, reporting etc., was found to be following a fine structure. The scheme provides financial risk protection to the beneficiaries’ families. Perceived challenges were lesser public awareness of the scheme, the requirement of an updated guideline, funds, the need for the availability of specialists and other amenities. Complete electronic hospital proceedings, a separate account for the scheme, staff reorientation/training, more reviews, and appraisals were emphasized. The overall functioning of the scheme is found to be streamlined and highly fruitful in terms of catering to the child population in the state.

Conclusion:
Arogyakiranam program has proven to be a boon to its beneficiaries with nil out-of-pocket expenditure, providing an array of health care amenities, ensuring equity thereby relentlessly working towards universal health coverage.
Comparison of awareness and perception of menstrual hygiene between pre and postmenarchal adolescents of North India
Authors: Singh Neetu , Kumari Rashmi , Agarwal Dipti , Jauhari Sugandha 
Published: December 2021

Context:
Menstruation is a normal physiologic phenomenon. Due to lack of awareness regarding menstrual hygiene among adolescent girls in India, majority have unhygienic practices which make them vulnerable to various adverse health and social outcomes.

Aims and Objective:
The aim of this study was to compare the awareness and perception of pre- and postmenarchal adolescent girls regarding menstrual hygiene.

Settings and Design:
A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Paediatrics of a Government tertiary care center, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh for 6 months from 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2019.

Material and Methods:
The study was undertaken among 120 adolescent girls between 09 and 19 years of age. Premenarchal age group was from 9 to 12 years and postmenarchal was 13–19 years. All the adolescent girls who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were subjected to a pretested prevalidated semi-structured questionnaire assessing their awareness and perceptions regarding menstrual hygiene.

Result:
Of 120 respondents, 43 girls were aware of menstruation prior to attainment of menarche. Mother was the first informant regarding menstruation in the case of 49 (49.65%) girls. A total of 57 girls believed it as a physiological process. 32 (53.3%) girls knew the use of sanitary pads during menstruation. Regarding restrictions practiced, 136 (85%) girls practiced different restrictions during menstruation.

Conclusion:
Adolescent girls, being vulnerable, need to have adequate and correct awareness regarding menstrual hygiene. This will protect them from risk of developing reproductive or sexually transmitted infections (RTI/STI) which is a burden on our society and render many females infertile and cause other adverse health outcomes.
