Background. Pneumonectomy is one of the most traumatic thoracic surgeries, leading to a significant decrease in the patient’s functional status. Despite numerous questionnaires, there is no standard approach to the study of the quality of life of patients who have undergone radical surgery for lung cancer.The purpose of the study was to conduct a retrospective analysis of the quality of life of patients who underwent pneumonectomy during the period 2017–2018, taking into account the extent of surgery, presence of concomitant disease and adjuvant antitumor treatment.Material and Methods. Changes in the quality of life (qol) during combined modality treatment were evaluated in 40 patients with non-small cell lung cancer. To assess the functional status, the criteria adopted for determining the surgical risk were used. The st. George`s Respiratory Questionnaire (sgrq) and Quality Outcomes study short-Form 36 (sf-36) were used to assess the respiratory system of patients. Data collection was carried out 12 months after surgery using a questionnaire method based on a direct survey of respondents.Conclusion. Postoperative special treatment significantly worsens both the functional parameters of patients and the quality of life. Thus, a multidisciplinary approach to the management of patient with participation of an oncologist, pulmonologist, physiotherapist, and rehabilitologist is required.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
To analyze the spatial distribution characteristics of water resource value in the agricultural system of the Yellow River Basin, this paper takes the Yellow River Basin as its research object and studies the spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of water resource value in the agricultural system using the emergy theory and method, the spatial autocorrelation analysis method, and the spatial regression model. The results show the following. (1) The value of water resources in the agricultural system ranges from 0.64 to 0.98 $/m3, and the value in the middle and lower reaches of the basin is relatively high. (2) The Moran index of the water resource value in the agricultural system is 0.2772, showing a positive spatial autocorrelation feature. Here, ‘high-high (high value city gathering)’ is the main aggregation mode, which is mainly concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of the basin. (3) The spatial error model, moreover, has the best simulation effect. The cultivated land area, total agricultural output value, agricultural labor force, and total mechanical power have a significant positive impact on the agricultural production value of water resources in the Yellow River Basin; the altitude, annual average temperature, and agricultural water consumption have a negative impact. Overall, this study shows that guiding the distribution of water resources according to their value and increasing agricultural water use in the middle and lower reaches of the basin will help improve the overall agricultural production efficiency of water resources in the basin.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
Accurate simulations of wastewater quality and quantity, particularly in saline and semi-arid areas, are important in agricultural water management. In this study, a system dynamics (SD) approach was proposed to simulate drainage water and groundwater salinities, water table fluctuation, and drainage discharge at field scale. The results of the SD approach were compared with results from DRAINMOD-S, a computer simulation model. For model validation, earlier experimental data from two field units were used. The field units each contained three rows of piezometers. During irrigation, daily water table fluctuation, drainage discharge, irrigation and drainage water salinity, and the salinity in each piezometer, were measured. The SD approach simulated these parameters more accurately than DRAINMOD-S for both units.
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Compared with Middle East Respiratory
Syndrome (MERS): A Radiological Perspective
Authors: Alshumrani Ghazi , Al bshabshe Ali , Mousa Wesam Faried 
Published: June 2021

Background:
This study aims to describe the radiological findings in chest radiographs
(CXRs) of patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome
(MERS) and to compare the radiological patterns of the two diseases.

Method:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in the Southern region
of Saudi Arabia. The CXRs were evaluated for the presence and distribution of ground-glass
opacities (GGO), consolidation, pleural effusions, pneumothorax, cavitation, and nodules.

Results:
A total of 120 CXRs from 15 MERS and six COVID-19 patients were assessed. In the
first available CXR, GGO was present in 11 (73%) of the MERS patients (18% located in the middle
zones and 67% located peripherally) and in 100% of COVID-19 patients (peripheral and middle
zone involvement in all patients). In the first available CXRs, consolidation was present in 10
MERS patients (67%) and in all six COVID-19 patients, while it was present in all patients of both
groups when all the available CXRs were considered. Confluent consolidation was present in 47%
of the MERS patients and 50% of COVID-19 patients. All the fatal cases had confluent consolidation
and radiological signs of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Pneumothorax was present
in 13% of patients, with 100% mortality, and pleural effusion was present in 47% of patients,
with 57% mortality. Lung nodules were present in one patient of each group.

Conclusion:
COVID-19 patients showed earlier development of GGO and consolidation with
greater involvement of the middle and peripheral lung zones. Confluent consolidation and ARDSlike
radiological findings were associated with high mortality. Pneumothorax and pleural effusions
were more frequent in MERS patients, with high associated mortality.

Diabetic neuropathy is an incapacitating chronic pathological condition that encompasses
a large group of diseases and manifestations of nerve damage. It affects approximately 50% of
patients with diabetes mellitus. Autonomic, sensory, and motor neurons are affected. Disabilities
are severe, along with poor recovery and diverse pathophysiology. Physical exercise and herbal-
based therapies have the potential to decrease the disabilities associated with diabetic neuropathy.
Aerobic exercises like walking, weight lifting, the use of nutraceuticals and herbal extracts are
found to be effective. Literature from the public domain was studied emphasizing various beneficial
effects of different exercises, herbal and nutraceuticals for their therapeutic action in diabetic
neuropathy. Routine exercises and administration of herbal and nutraceuticals, either the extract of
plant material containing the active phytoconstituent or isolated phytoconstituent at safe concentration,
have been shown to have promising positive action in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy.
Exercise has shown promising effects on vascular and neuronal health. It has proven to be well effective
in the treatment as well as prevention of diabetic neuropathy by various novel mechanisms,
including Herbal and nutraceuticals therapy. They primarily show the anti-oxidant effect, secretagogue,
anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuroprotective action. Severe adverse events are rare
with these therapies. The current review investigates the benefits of exercise and nutraceutical therapies
in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy.

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to wide-scale changes in societal organization. This has dramatically altered people’s daily activities, especially among families with young children, those living with disabilities such as spinal cord injury (SCI), those who have experienced a stroke, and older adults.

Objective
We aim to (1) investigate how COVID-19 restrictions influence daily activities, (2) track the psychosocial effects of these restrictions over time, and (3) identify strategies to mitigate the potential negative effects of these restrictions.

Methods
This is a longitudinal, concurrent, mixed methods study being conducted in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Data collection occurred at four time points, between April 2020 and February 2021. The first three data collection time points occurred within phases 1 to 3 of the Province of BC’s Restart Plan. The final data collection coincided with the initial distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines. At each time point, data regarding participants’ sociodemographics, depressive and anxiety symptoms, resilience, boredom, social support, instrumental activities of daily living, and social media and technology use were collected in an online survey. These data supplemented qualitative videoconference interviews exploring participants’ COVID-19–related experiences. Participants were also asked to upload photos representing their experience during the restriction period, which facilitated discussion during the final interview. Five groups of participants were recruited: (1) families with children under the age of 18 years, (2) adults with an SCI, (3) adults who experienced a stroke, (4) adults with other types of disabilities, and (5) older adults (>64 years of age) with no self-reported disability. The number of participants we could recruit from each group was limited, which may impact the validity of some subgroup analyses.

Results
This study was approved by the University of British Columbia Behavioural Research Ethics Board (Approval No. H20-01109) on April 17, 2020. A total of 81 participants were enrolled in this study and data are being analyzed. Data analyses are expected to be completed in fall 2021; submission of multiple papers for publication is expected by winter 2021.

Conclusions
Findings from our study will inform the development and recommendations of a new resource guide for the post–COVID-19 period and for future public health emergencies.

Remote sensing and G.I.S help acquire information on changing land use and land cover (LULC), and it plays a pivotal role in measuring and monitoring such local and global changes. The present analysis has been executed on Landsat 5 TM, 1989 and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS, 2020 images of Pachhua Dun, including Dehradun & Mussoorie urban agglomeration. The present study aims to detect the land encroachment or area of change; rate of change and monitoring spatio-temporal variation in LULC change between 1989-2020 using change detection technique, supervised maximum likelihood classification, and Overall accuracy & Kappa Coefficient (K) was applied as an accuracy assessment tool. The results derived from the change detection analysis exhibits that the highest growth rate was recorded in built-up areas +247.75% (110 km2) and revealed the annual rate of change of 3.55 km2. or 7.99%, the highest among all LULC class during the overall study period of 31 years. The result also found that among all LULC class, the most significant LULC conversion took place from agricultural land to built-up areas followed by open/scrubland and vegetation/forest cover; approximately 69.9km2 of the area under agricultural land was found to be converted into built-up areas. At the same time, 38.9 km2 area of vegetation/forest cover and 36.3 km2 of the area of open/scrubland have converted into agricultural land. Rising anthropogenic influence and unsustainable land-use practices in the study area have led to a large-scale human encroachment and rapid transformation of the natural landscape into the cultural landscape. This analysis provides the essential long-term Geospatial information related to LULC change for making optimum decision-making process and sustainable land-use planning in the Pachhua Dun-Dehradun District, Uttarakhand, India.

Published: June 2021

Las empresas tratan de innovar en sus estrategias de comunicación para ofrecer información tanto sobre sus bienes y servicios, como información corporativa relacionada con las actividades de RSC que la empresa lleva a cabo. En la actualidad, la comunicación sobre RSC es muy importante y poco se sabe acerca de la mejor forma de hacerlo. En este sentido, las redes sociales se han convertido en un importante canal de comunicación entre empresas y consumidores. A través de las redes sociales, los individuos comparten contenido con otros usuarios, pero también pueden apoyar a la empresa con la difusión de la información relativa a sus actividades. Esta difusión de información en entornos electrónicos se conoce como eWOM.
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el rol del eWOM en la difusión de la información de RSC de la empresa. Para ello, se realiza un estudio basado en la metodología del análisis de contenido que contrasta si aquellas publicaciones de la empresa en la red social Facebook con contenido de RSC generan más interacciones de os consumidores que las publicaciones con información de tipo comercial. Los resultados obtenidos corroboran que la empresa conseguirá que se difunda más su información en términos de eWOM cuando sus publicaciones contienen información de RSC, puesto que dichas publicaciones logran un mayor número de me gustas y comentarios, a la vez que son compartidas en una mayor medida.

Published: June 2021

Apresenta-se uma pesquisa empírica realizada nos anos iniciais do primeiro ciclo do ensino fundamental, mais precisamente nos 3º e 4º anos, no decorrer dos anos letivos de 2016 e 2017, realizada na “EMEF Professor Antonio Andrade Guimarães, na cidade de Vera Cruz/SP. Neste contexto, o objetivo geral da presente pesquisa foi de promover atividades pedagógicas relacionadas ao Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente-ECA, enfatizando os preceitos presentes na lei de nº 11.525/2007, para incluir conteúdo que trate dos direitos das crianças e dos adolescentes no currículo do ensino fundamental, em diálogo com as demais matérias curriculares, avaliando conhecimentos, comportamentos e atitudes anteriores e posteriores à formação. O estudo do diploma estatutário despontou em sala de aula, como um código de ética infanto-adolescente, para contribuir na formação cidadã dos estudantes do ensino fundamental, enquanto seres humanos em processo de desenvolvimento, priorizando a Doutrina da Proteção Integral oportunizando a possibilidade de resolução de conflitos da sociedade. Foi construído junto aos alunos um ensino-aprendizagem por via de resoluções de contendas coletivas, bem assim, o pensar sobre os seus direitos e deveres, enquanto seres coletivos e pertencentes a um sistema social. Com o decorrer da prática educativa, os resultados evidenciaram mudanças comportamentais e de concepções, aumento da segurança, autoestima e capacidade argumentativa por parte das crianças, maior frequência escolar, bem como maior frequência dos pais ou responsáveis em reuniões escolares. Essa prática pedagógica realça uma tendência que acompanha o desenvolvimento da proteção dos direitos humanos, em que as crianças são titulares de direito e não objeto de proteção, critérios norteadores para a elaboração e aplicação das normas infanto-adolescentes. Nesse ínterim, a fraternidade desponta como alavanca de efetivação do ordenamento legal estatutário nas salas de aula, concretizando um direito pertencente às minorias que ficam à mercê da maioria, dos adultos, para a real efetivação de seus direitos. Optou-se pela abordagem metodológica qualitativa, a qual compreende a observação, registro e análise dos dados por meio de categorias descritivas. Utilizou-se, também, questionários com perguntas abertas. O procedimento adotado foi o método hipotético-dedutivo em que a educação estatutária nas salas de aula é analisada como mecanismo de construção da personalidade ético-social do pequeno cidadão, desenvolvendo um projeto de vida, influenciando não apenas em seus futuros, mas da própria sociedade.

Published: June 2021

The objective of this work is to determine the effects of oven drying on the physico-chemical composition of eggplant (Solanum Aethiopicum L.). The samples were collected in the field school of the University Jean Lorougnon Guédé in Daloa. The water contents, pH, titratable acidity and vitamin C were determined at different temperatures (50 ° C, 60 ° C, 80 ° C and 90 ° C) and time. Analyzes show that the moisture (92 to 5%), pH (5.67 to 3.44) and vitamin C (1.095 to 0.508 mg EAA / 100g) contents decrease progressively as a function of the drying time and over time. as the temperature rises. However, the titratable acidity contents of eggplants increase (0.0153 to 0.229 meq / 100g) gradually with increasing temperature. Increasing temperature and time lead to a decrease in humidity, pH and vitamin C and an increase in the titratable acidity content of eggplants during drying.

Field experiment was conducted in Farmers holding located at Rajagopalapuram village under Kuttalam taluk, Mayiladuthurai district, Tamilnadu, India belonging to Padugai series (Typic ustifluvent) low in available silicon to elucidate the response of banana in terms of yield, nutrition and quality due to silicon nutrition applied through potassium silicate. The treatment consists of T1 - NPK (RDF), T2 - NPK + Potassium silicate (FS) - 0.25%, T3- NPK + Potassium silicate (FS) - 0.50%, T4 - NPK + Potassium silicate (FS) - 1.00%, T5­ - NPK + Potassium silicate (FS) - 0.25%, T6 - NPK + Potassium silicate (FS) - 0.50%, T7­ - NPK + Potassium silicate (FS) - 1.00%, T8 - NPK + Potassium silicate (SA) - 50 kg ha-1, T9 - NPK + Potassium silicate (SA) - 100 kg ha-1 and T10 - NPK + Potassium silicate (SA) – 150 kg ha-1. From T2 to T4 foliar spray was done at 3rd and 5th month and from T5 to T7, foliar spray was done at 3rd, 5th and 7th month. The test crop is Banana Var. Grand Naine. The results showed that the highest fruit yield was noticed with 50 kg Si ha-1 (96.0 t ha-1) and it reduced with Si levels. Among foliar treatments, fruit yield increased with silicon concentrations (0.25 to 1%). The highest fruit yield was observed with 1% Si applied at 3rd and 5th month (92.7 t ha-1). Foliar spray of 0.25 and 0.5% Si applied thrice increased the fruit yield compared to twice application at same concentration. But fruit yield declined when Si was sprayed at 1% thrice. Soil application of silicon recorded higher nutrient uptake over foliar addition. The nutrient uptake was maximum with 150 kg Si ha-1. With respect to foliar treatments, the highest uptake was noticed with foliar spray of 1% Si applied at 3rd and 5th month. Soil application of 50 kg Si ha-1 recorded the highest fruit quality viz., TSS, total sugars, reducing and non-reducing sugar and leaf protein. The highest fruit quality was noticed with foliar spray of 1% Si applied at 3rd and 5th month.
