Published: July 2021

Abstract
IntroductionThe health and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic evident internationally are mirrored in New Zealand.1With reports of escalating Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), there is a need for services supporting women and families to adapt to the changing COVID-19 environment. An interactive, individualised web-based safety-decision aid called isafe is being redeveloped to reflect these changes across Aotearoa New Zealand. Due to the social distancing requirements and fluidity of COVID-19 alert levels, safety strategies supporting women experiencing IPV need to align with the latest evidence within the context of COVID-19. This scoping review is designed to identify the range of extant safety strategies for women experiencing IPV suggested as effective during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methodology and method We will follow the scoping review methodology framework proposed by Johanna Briggs Institute (JBI),2 originally developed by Arksey and O’Malley3 and further refined by Levac4. The search strategy includes all study designs, and editorials and grey literature. Two reviewers will screen each article title and abstract against inclusion and exclusion criteria before independently screening the full text of eligible articles. Grey literature will be searched using existing websites and organisations that provide links to resources focussed on family violence (Table 1). Culturally informed strategies supporting Māori women and their whānau (family) will be specifically identified within the full text screening process. Data will be analysed using qualitative narrative synthesis to consider the strategies and their application to the New Zealand context. This will inform the development of isafe to support women experiencing violence during COVID-19 and beyond.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval was not required for this study. Results will be used to inform a future study in which key stakeholder groups will evaluate the usability of isafe in preparation for deployment. Findings of this review will be published in journals and validated with stakeholders connected with the isafe project.

Abstract
Background: Malaria is disease caused by plasmodium species and transmitted by the bite of female anopheles mosquito. Globally, it is still the major public health problem that causes morbidity and mortality especially in tropical and sub-tropical African countries including Ethiopia. The objective of this study was to assess the Six year trend of malaria at University of Gondar Specialized Referral Hospital, northwest Ethiopia, from 2014-2019Method: A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the laboratory registration logbook at University of Gondar Specialized Referral Hospital by using data extraction tool. The data was analysized by SPSS version 20. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize the socio-demographic characteristics of study participants and presented by graphs, tables and texts. The binary logistic regression was also used test the association of trend of malaria and different factors like sex, age, year, and season. Result: From a total 17,500 malaria suspected patients, 1341 (7.7%) were confirmed for malaria and (47.2%), (45.6%) and (7.2%) were P.vivax, P. falciparum and mixed infection, respectively. P.vivax was the predominant species in the first three years and P. falciparum became the predominant species in the last three years. The trend prevalence was showed a fluctuated significantly decrement. It decreased by 68%, 60% and 69% in the year of 2017, 2018 and 2019 compare to 2014, respectively. The positivity rate were significantly higher in the males (1.41 times higher) than females. It was also significantly higher in lower age groups compare to the older age groups (> 54 years old). It was 1.60, 1.64, 2.45 and 1.82 times higher in the age group of < 5, 5-14, 15-24 and 25-54 years old, respectively.Conclusion: There has been a significant declining trend of malaria in the study area. However, it is still a major health problem and requires extra efforts for further reduction. Even, autumn was the season when the highest peak of malaria cases in was observed, there was high fluctuation from year to year. Therefore, control activities should be continued and strengthened manner in the study area considering these variability.

Abstract
The present study assessed the potential toxic levels of Cyanide and heavy metals in cassava flour sold in selected township markets in Oke Ogun community. It aimed to determine the levels of Cyanide, Lead, Chromium and Arsenic, assess their health implications on the consumers as well as evaluation of allowable dietary concentrations according to WHO. Samples of finely ground fermented cassava flour were purchased from five (5) selected township markets (Igbeti, Kishi, Iseyin, Igboho and Shaki) using stratified sampling method. The sample were firstly digested appropriately and further analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Data collected were analyzed using statistical package. Results obtained ranged showed that Cyanides (0.010Mg/L − 0.018Mg/L), Lead (0.028Mg/L-0.053Mg/L], Arsenic (0.006Mg/L-0.012Mg/L), and Chromium (0.034Mg/L-0.065Mg/L) respectively. In conclusion, Cassava flour presently sold in Oke Ogun community markets were safe and suitable for human consumption without any dietary risk effects due to less concentration of these metals. It is therefore, recommended that cassava flour sold should be frequently monitored and evaluation on a regular basis.

Abstract
Background: Although both a history of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and glucose abnormality are risk factors for CVD, few large studies have examined their association with subsequent CVD in the same cohort. Thus, we compared the impact of prior CVD, glucose status, and their combinations on subsequent CVD using real-world data. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study including 363,627 men aged 18-72 years followed for ≥3 years between 2008 and 2016. Participants were classified as normoglycemia, borderline glycemia, or diabetes defined by fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, and antidiabetic drug prescription. Prior and subsequent CVD (i.e. ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, and non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage) were identified according to claims using ICD-10 codes, medical procedures, and questionnaires. Results: The subjects’ mean age was 46.1 ± 9.3, and median follow up was 5.2 (4.2, 6.7) years. Cox regression analysis showed that prior CVD+ conferred excess risk for CVD regardless of glucose status (normoglycemia: hazard ratio (HR) , 8.77; 95% CI, 6.96-11.05; borderline glycemia: HR, 7.40, 95% CI, 5.97-9.17; diabetes: HR, 5.73, 95% CI, 4.52-7.25). Compared with the normoglycemia, borderline glycemia did not influence risk of CVD, whereas diabetes affected subsequent CVD in those with CVD- (HR, 1.50, 95% CI, 1.34-1.68). In CVD-/diabetes, age, current smoking, systolic blood pressure, HDL cholesterol, and HbA1c were associated with risk of CVD, but only systolic blood pressure was related to CVD risk in CVD+/diabetes.Conclusions: Prior CVD had a greater impact on risk of CVD than glucose tolerance and glycemic control. In diabetes with prior CVD, systolic blood pressure was a stronger risk factor than HbA1c. Individualized treatment strategy should consider glucose tolerance status and prior CVD.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Spent catalyst, containing vanadium and tungsten oxide in a TiO2 glass fiber matrix, pose a risk of environmental contamination due to the high toxicity of its metal oxides if leached into the soil when disposed in landfills. Due to the increasing demand of metals and the continuous depletion of primary resources there is an growing necessity for recycling and reprocessing of spent catalysts and other secondary metal sources for environmental and economical reasons. Study of spent SCR catalyst soda roasting process with dissolved NaOH compared with the usual NaOH dry roasting and its influence in the subsequent water leaching. After optimization, the ideal parameters are roasting with 40% NaOH solution for 2h at 973K and DI water leaching for 30minutes, at 298K with a pulp density of 30%. The research results show an important reduction of the roasting temperature and leaching time during the processing of spent SCR catalyst with the objective to recover vanadium and tungsten. Silicon compounds are one of the main impurities leached alongside the valuable metals and in this work, the silicon compounds leached are reduced significantly avoiding the de-silication post-processing of the leach liquor. The main advantage of the proposed process is the increase of the leaching efficiency of vanadium and tungsten in a shorter time regardless of the leaching temperature.
Analysis of the Shear Characteristics of a Deep, Anchored Rock Mass Under Creep Fatigue Loading
Authors: Li Xiaofeng , Yin Zhixiang 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
To study the influence of earthquakes and engineering disturbances on the deformation of deeply buried rock masses, shear tests were carried out on sandstone, marble and granite anchored specimens under creep fatigue loading, and a new creep fatigue model was established to characterize the deformation characteristics of anchored rock masses under creep fatigue loading. The creep fatigue curves of different lithologies clearly show three stages: creep attenuation, steady-state creep and accelerated creep. Fatigue loading can increase the creep of anchored specimens, and the lower the rock strength is, the higher the creep variable under fatigue loading. However, for the same rock strength, with the increase in load level, the creep variable produced by creep fatigue load presents a linear downward trend. Considering the changes in the mechanical properties of the anchored rock mass under creep fatigue loading, the creep fatigue model of anchored rock masses is established by introducing a function of the fatigue shear modulus, and the accuracy and applicability of the model are verified by laboratory creep fatigue test data. The model provides a theoretical basis for the study of anchored rock mass support under low-frequency earthquakes or blasting loads.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Very recently, increasing attention has been focused on non-Abelian topological charges, e.g. the quaternion group Q8. Different from Abelian topological band insulators, these systems involve multiple tangled bulk bandgaps and support non-trivial edge states that manifest the non-Abelian topological features. Furthermore, a system with even or odd number of bands will exhibit significant difference in non-Abelian topological classifications. Up to now, there is scant research investigating the even-band non-Abelian topological insulators. Here, we both theoretically explored and experimentally realized a four-band PT (inversion and time-reversal) symmetric system, where two new classes of topological charges as well as edge states are comprehensively studied. We illustrate their difference from four-dimensional rotation senses on the stereographically projected Clifford tori. We show the evolution of bulk topology by extending the 1D Hamiltonian onto a 2D plane and provide the accompanying edge state distributions following an analytical method. Our work presents an exhaustive study of four-band non-Abelian topological insulators and paves the way to other even band systems.

Abstract
We report a case of nephrotic syndrome as an adverse event induced by ramucirumab and consider the previous literature. A 76-year-old man diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer underwent laparoscopic sigmoidectomy. Because of the recurrence of sigmoid colon cancer, FOLFIRI (fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan) plus ramucirumab was selected as the second-line chemotherapy after the first-line chemotherapy of five cycles of mFOLFOX6 (modified fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) plus bevacizumab. Thirty-five days after the initial administration of ramucirumab, weight gain and severe edema of both legs were noted, and he was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Since the nephrotic syndrome developed within a short period after the administration, a ramucirumab-induced adverse event was strongly suspected. After starting trichlormethiazide, urinary output markedly increased and the body weight promptly decreased. He was discharged on the 17th day after admission with significant weight loss and recovery from nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome may develop immediately after ramucirumab administration even after switching from multiple doses of bevacizumab. Physicians must be aware of clinical signs such as edema and weight gain as well as laboratory data in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
Purpose
There is limited data about the perioperative outcomes of COVID−19 patients that needed emergency general surgery. The aims of the present study were to describe the perioperative outcomes of COVID−19 patients that underwent emergency general surgery and to determine possible predictors of mortality and postoperative complications.
Methods
A prospective study of positive COVID−19 patients that needed an emergency general surgery procedure at our center was performed.
Results
From March 2020 to February 2021, 44 patients were included. We found that patients with SARS-CoV−2 symptomatic disease have increased postoperative complications, higher ICU admissions, prolonged length of stay, and decreased 90-day survival as compared with asymptomatic COVID−19 patients. The 90-day survival probability of the entire cohort was 70.1% (60.3–79.9) and was significantly lower in patients with COVID−19 symptoms 63.4% (50.5–76.2). We found the following cut-off values for the prediction of mortality: ferritin ≥ 438.5 ng/mL (AUC = 0.908), CRP value ≥ 12.5 mg/dL (AUC = 0.715), leukocyte ≥ 13.8 x103/µL (AUC = 0.706), and albumin ≤ 2.78 g/dL (AUC = 704,). Also, a cut-off value of CRP of ≥ 12.5 mg/dL yielded an accuracy of 82.9% for the prediction of postoperative complications (p < 0.001).
Conclusion
Patients with symptomatic COVID−19 that needed emergency surgery have increased postoperative complications, higher ICU admissions, prolonged length of stay, and decreased 90-day survival as compared with asymptomatic COVID−19 patients. Preoperative ferritin, CRP, leukocytes, and albumin could be used as predictors of mortality.

Ser menino negro: uma análise em livros de literatura infantil
Authors: Silva Tarcia Regina , Santos Ernani 
Published: July 2021

Este artigo tem como foco a análise de livros de literatura infantil que tem como protagonistas, meninos negros. Dessa maneira, analisamos os livros: O menino Nito: Então, homem chora ou não? de Sonia Rosa; Minha mãe é negra sim de Patricia Santana; Minha família é colorida escrito por Georgina Martins; Chico Juba escrito por Gustavo Gaivota; e Cabelo de Mola” de Alexsander Rezende. Partimos do pressuposto que no campo das relações étnico-raciais há questões de gênero que precisam ser estudadas. Ser menino e negro é diferente de ser menina e negra. Assim, a partir do conceito de masculinidades negras buscamos retratar nas narrativas os elementos que fortalecem e desconstroem os estereótipos associados a identidade de meninos e negros, desde a infância. Os dados evidenciaram a importância de atentar para as construções discursivas que reforçam estereótipos, desde a infância, de meninos e negros como brutos, pouco inteligentes, servis e ainda, fortalecem o mito da democracia racial.
