Calibration of a CubeSat spectroradiometer with a narrow-band widely
tunable radiance source

Published: February 2021

We have developed an SI-traceable narrow-band tunable radiance source
based on an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) and an integrating
sphere for the calibration of spectroradiometers. The source is
calibrated with a reference detector over the ultraviolet/visible
spectral range with an uncertainty of

<

1

%

. As a case study, a CubeSat
spectroradiometer has been calibrated for radiance over its operating
range from 370 nm to 480 nm. To validate the results, the instrument
has also been calibrated with a traditional setup based on a diffuser
and an FEL lamp. Both routes show good agreement within the combined
measurement uncertainty. The OPO-based approach could be an
interesting alternative to the traditional method, not only because of
reduced measurement uncertainty, but also because it directly allows
for wavelength calibration and characterization of the instrumental
spectral response function and stray light effects, which could reduce
calibration time and cost.

Objective
To date, no study has evaluated the detection rate of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in cause-of-death records in Europe. Our objectives were to compare the number of deaths attributable to HNSCC from two national databases in France and to identify factors associated with under-reporting of HNSCC in cause-of-death records.

Methods
The national hospital discharge database and the national underlying cause-of-death records were compared for all HNSCC-attributable deaths in adult patients from 2008 to 2012 in France. Factors associated with under-reporting of HNSCC in cause-of-death records were assessed using multivariate Poisson regression.

Results
A total of 41,503 in-hospital deaths were attributable to HNSCC as compared to 25,647 deaths reported in national UCoD records (a detection rate of 62%). Demographics at death were similar in both databases with respect to gender (83% men), age (54% premature deaths at 25–64 years), and geographic distribution. In multivariate Poisson regression, under-reporting of HNSCC in cause-of-death records significantly increased in 2012 compared to 2010 (+7%) and was independently associated with a primary HNSCC site other than the larynx, a former primary or second synchronous cancer other than HNSCC, distant metastasis, palliative care, and death in hospitals other than comprehensive cancer care centers. The main study results were robust in a sensitivity analysis which also took into account deaths outside hospital (overall, 51,129 HNSCC-attributable deaths; a detection rate of 50%). For the year 2012, the age-standardized mortality rate for HNSCC derived from underlying cause-of-death records was less than half that derived from hospital discharge summaries (14.7 compared to 34.1 per 100,000 for men and 2.7 compared to 6.2 per 100,000 for women).

Conclusion
HNSCC is largely under-reported in cause-of-death records. This study documents the value of national hospital discharge databases as a complement to death certificates for ascertaining cancer deaths.

Published: February 2021

Background
Closely spaced birth increases the risk of adverse maternal and child health outcomes. In Ethiopia, the prevalence of short birth spacing was highly variable across studies. Besides, contraceptive use, educational status, and duration of breastfeeding were frequently mentioned factors affecting short birth spacing. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of short birth spacing and its association with contraceptive use, educational status, and duration of breastfeeding among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia.

Methods
International databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane library, HINARI, and Global Health were searched systematically to identify articles reporting the prevalence of short birth spacing and its association with contraceptive use, educational status, and duration of breastfeeding among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia. The data were analyzed by STATA/SE version-14 statistical software. The random-effect model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of short birth spacing and the log odds ratio was used to determine the association. Moreover, egger’s test and I-squared statistics were used to assess publication bias and heterogeneity respectively.

Results
After reviewing 511 research articles, a total of nine articles with 5,682 study participants were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of short birth spacing in Ethiopia was 46.9% [95% CI: (34.7, 59.1)]. Significant heterogeneity was observed between studies (I2 = 98.4, p <0.001). Not using contraceptives [OR = 3.87, 95% CI: (2.29, 6.53)] and duration of breastfeeding < 24 months [OR = 16.9, 95%CI: (2.69, 106.47)] had a significant association with short birth spacing.

Conclusions
Although a minimum inter-pregnancy interval of two years was recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), significant numbers of women still practiced short birth spacing in Ethiopia. Duration of breastfeeding and non-use of contraceptives were factors significantly associated with short birth spacing. So, efforts should be made to improve breastfeeding practice and contraceptive utilization among women in Ethiopia.

Objective
To compare maternal complications and describe neonatal outcomes in women with severe preeclampsia at ≤ 26+0 weeks in two countries with different management policies: expectant management (Brazil) versus termination of pregnancy (France).

Methods
We conducted a retrospective comparative study by reviewing the medical records of women with severe preeclampsia at ≤ 26+0 weeks, from January 2010 to June 2018, in two centers: Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina, in Sao Paulo, Brazil (where medical abortion is forbidden in this indication) and Hôpital Antoine-Béclère, Clamart, France (where medical termination is accepted). We collected information on maternal characteristics, laboratory tests, maternal complications and fetal and newborn characteristics. We used Student’s t-test and the Mann-Whitney U nonparametric test to compare quantitative variables, and Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test to evaluate the associations between the qualitative variables.

Results
There was no between-group difference in maternal complications during hospitalization (p = 0.846). In Brazil, the rate of cesarean section was 66.7%, and 20% of patients had vertical incision. The rate of spontaneous fetal death was 35.6% and among the live-born infants 26.6% were discharged from hospital. In France, one patient had a cesarean section with vertical incision.

Conclusion
When comparing termination of pregnancy to expectant management in severe preeclampsia before 26 weeks, maternal complications were equivalent but maternal reproductive future might have been compromised in 20% of cases due to a higher risk of uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies for patients having classic cesarean (vertical incision). 26.6% of children survived the neonatal period when pregnancy was pursued, however we lack information on their long-term follow-up.

The Hukaea-Laeya community has been established as a customic village inhabited by the ethnic of Mororene who still strongly believe in tumpuroo whose function is as a traditional healer. In terms of medical treatment, even until nowadays the people of Hukaea-Laeya still place a great trust in tumpuroo. The existence of tumpuroo is very closely related to the preservation of Moronenean traditional culture and health. This paper aimed to explain the traditional practices of tumpuroo with various values â€‹â€‹and perspectives and their influence on the preservation of tradition, especially spells. The study was conducted with the ethnographic method in Hukaea-Laeya with data collection techniques through observation and in-depth interviews. From the data analysis, it could be explained that tumpuroo had a strategic role in protecting Moronenean's public health from illness and disease. On the other hand, tumpuroo also became important actors in the effort to preserve local wisdom stored in medical spells. Moreover, when the concept and worldview about health was also connected with the process of preserving customs related to ancestral spirits and the transcendental figures. The social health role of the tumpuroo could be enhanced by the government to encourage the promotion and development of health based on the capacity of local communities.

ABSTRACT - Facies and depositional environment of Kanikeh Formation, Bula Basin, Maluku. The Triassic siliciclastic rocks, Kanikeh Formation are spread across Seram, Kesui, and Teor Island from Molucca to Southeast Molucca. The Kanikeh formation has been known as an excellent source rock. However, its interpretation of the depositional environment and stratigraphic correlation are still poorly understood. This study aims to give a better understanding of the depositional environment. This study consists of Lithofacies descriptions and facies associations of four stratigraphy measuring sections in Eastern Seram Island. The results of this study indicate that there are 9 lithofacies, including conglomeratic sandstone (Sc); Through cross bed sandstone (Sp); Bioturbated sandstone (Sb); Carboniferous sandstone (Sc); Wavy Sandstone (Sw); Flasser Sandstone (Sf); parallel laminated sandstone (Sh); lenticular mudstone (Fl); dan laminated mudstone (Fsc). The lithofacies description is included in four facies associations which are included in a tidal deposition system (intertidal) there are tidal channels, tidal sand flat, tidal sand-mud mixed flat, dan tidal mudflat. Based on the results Kanikeh Formation is deposited with a siliciclastic deposition system influenced by tidal currents within transition deposition environments.
The Buoyant Brain
Authors: Abdalla Mohamed Abdelrahman 
Published: February 2021

CSF is believed to provide a buoyancy medium to protect the brain against trauma and to reduce its weight. However, the origin of this belief, how this buoyancy works and its implications in various CSF disorders have not got enough attention in the literature.
This study aimed to review the literature for the previous works that investigated the buoyancy environment of the brain. By applying the laws of buoyancy to the intracranial system, possible explanations of the common CSF disorders were suggested and compared to the current knowledge.

The purpose of the study is to describe an analysis of children’s song characteristics Titounis. This study used a musicological approach to recognize songs’ characteristics. The data collection were document study and, listen and take note. This study used a content analysis technique. The analysis cover three aspects: (1) songs’ analysis, (2) instruments’ analysis, (3) Onomatopoeia. The songs that were analyzed were (1) Petit Escargot, (2) Le Roues de l Autobus, (3) Les Chiffres, (4) Un kilometer en Roulant. In the song analysis, the patterns used were general patterns, using fun and cheerful vocals, strong tonal stress, relatively limited variations in tones, slow, fast, and gradual tempo. The delivery style invites singing as well as dialogue or interaction. Then in musical instruments, the melody variations of each instrument form harmonization, the use of non-musical instruments emphasizes the theme of the song and provides the experience of hearing about the environment. The onomatopoeic analysis shows sound vroom (car), pataboum (jumping passengers), bip-bip-bip (serine), suisse-suisse (wiper). The onomatopoeia of Titounis songs serves to strengthen the song’s theme.

AbstractMultidrug-resistant bacteria can cause severe nosocomial infections in both human and veterinary clinics. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence and antibiotic susceptibility of Enterococcus, Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas strains at four small animal clinics of Hungary in 2018, as these bacteria can reliably represent the level of antimicrobial resistance in the investigated environment. A total of 177 Staphylococcus colonies were found, including 22 Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and 13 Staphylococcus aureus. As regards enterococci, 9 Enterococcus faecium, 2 E. faecalis and further 286 Enterococcus strains were isolated. The number of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates (n = 34) was considered too low for relevant susceptibility testing. Among staphylococci, the highest resistance was found to sulphamethoxazole (82.9%), penicillin (65.7%) and erythromycin (54.3%), while in the case of enterococci, resistance to norfloxacin and rifampicin was the most common, with 25.5% of the strains being resistant to both antibiotics. Ten methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius (MRSP) and six vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) strains could be identified. Only 5.7% of the Staphylococcus isolates were susceptible to all tested agents, while this ratio was 36.2% among enterococci. The results of this study have revealed a high prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in Hungarian small animal clinics, which highlights the importance of regular disinfection processes and stringent hygiene measures in veterinary clinics.
Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS): A report of two patients and review of literature

Published: February 2021

AbstractKlippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is an uncommon congenital condition, resulting in vascular malformations affecting capillary, venous, and lymphatic systems and bone and/or soft tissue hypertrophy. Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) may be useful in assessing the severity of the disease and for treatment planning. We present two cases of two white men with the typical clinical presentation of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome i.e. vascular malformations (capillary, venous and lymphatic) and localized bone and/or soft tissues hypertrophy. Splenic hemangiomas were evidenced in both patients and MRA was helpful in assessing and delineating the abnormal venous drainage system. KTS is a complex disorder whose true prevalence and etiology are still unknown. In most cases the emblematic clinical manifestation consisting in vascular malformations and extremity overgrowth is represented. KTS may be associated with several different conditions including scoliosis and splenic hemangiomas. The presence of the lateral marginal vein (LMV) is pathognomonic. Imaging is fundamental in confirming the diagnosis and for therapeutic strategies. An effective treatment does not exist to date and a multidisciplinary approach is usually required to prevent complications.
Edgar Huntly's Gun Violence and Indigenous Mechanisms of Peace
Authors: Calcaterra Angela 
Published: February 2021

AbstractThis essay analyzes American gun culture, past and present, through two lenses: a set of early Euro-American writings on weapons and defense, including Charles Brockden Brown's well-known novelEdgar Huntly, and a little-known but capacious archive of Native American materials, philosophy, and story. While the Euro-American writings and the Indigenous archive both raise crucial questions about the relation between weapons and human subjectivity, only the Indigenous archive presents vital alternative object orientations that promote peace. Considering wampum belts in particular as an Indigenous mechanism of peace, this essay argues that to understand American gun violence we must pay attention to Indigenous efforts to cultivate relationships by putting forth healing objects and burying the weapons of war, efforts that are largely erased from the colonial records and from the contemporary imagination of the past. Ultimately, Native American theorizations of object orientation and human subjectivity challenge both our understanding of the colonial past and our current conversation surrounding gun violence.
Du Bois'sDark Princess, Kautilya'sArthashastra, and the Welfare State
Authors: Strand Eric 
Published: February 2021

AbstractW. E. B. Du Bois's novelDark Princess(1928) has become a paradigmatic text for left internationalism and Afro-Asian solidarity. Du Bois's hybrid progressivism enchants the American welfare state by giving it an intellectual genealogy that emphasizes Eastern political thought.Dark Princessengages with theArthashastra, an ancient work of political theory that was ostensibly written by the chief adviser to Chandragupta, who unified the Indian subcontinent. TheArthashastra, and the legend concerning its composition, stimulated a Du Boisian fantasy of global leadership, one that parallels the contemporary recuperation of theArthashastrafor power politics. However, theArthashastra's discussion of social programs and infrastructure also introduces the concept of the welfare state. Interweaving theArthashastrawith Black life in Chicago, Du Bois gives the progressive activist Sara Andrews a surprising agency. Today the most important aspect ofDark Princessis its vision of an antiracist and culturally syncretic New Deal.

Published: February 2021

In this research, Moringa oleifera seeds extract has been shown the ability as a coagulation agent. The molecules that act as the coagulation agents were the proteins which were obtained by the extraction process of the Moringa seeds using NaCl solution. The aim of this research was to characterize and test the effectiveness of the Moringa seeds extract as a phosphate coagulant. The determination of the coagulation process was carried out using a Jar Test method of phosphate solution samples, and then effectiveness the samples were analyzed using a UV-Vis spectroscopy after-treatment of the coagulant dose variations, depositional time, and the pH variations of the samples. The characterization of the extract functional groups was determined using an FTIR spectroscopy. The results of the coagulation phosphate sample examinations showed that the optimum dose of the coagulant was 80 mL/L, with a decrease in the initial phosphate concentration of 17 ppm to 13.58 ppm. The reduction effect of precipitation time and pH also was obtained in this research. The optimum precipitation time and pH were in 30 minutes and pH 8, which reduced the phosphate concentration to 11.697 and 9.6 ppm, respectively. The FTIR spectra of Moringa oleifera seeds extracts before and after interacting with phosphate showed their differences. The interactions between the extract and phosphate were demonstrated by the appearance of buckling vibrations at wavenumbers 1064.2 cm-1, 799.8 cm-1, and 668.8 cm-1. The results of this study indicated that the Moringa seeds extraction with NaCl has potential as a phosphate coagulation agent.
