An Observational Survey to Appraise the Influence of COVID-19 Pandemic on Dermatology Training Programs in India
Authors: Das Anupam , Sil Abheek , Chakrabarti Aditi 
Published: May 2021

Background:
Given the all-encompassing foothold of COVID-19, it is plausible that the pandemic would have a long-lasting impact on medical training programs, including dermatology. We conducted a survey amongst the residents of dermatology (across India) to assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on their teaching and education programs.

Materials and Methods:
An online semi-structured English questionnaire was prepared on the Google-forms platform and the link was circulated among the residents. The questionnaire comprised of five sections (demographic details, impact on clinical training, procedural training, academic curriculum, and research activities). Appropriate statistical tests were carried out to analyze the data obtained.

Results:
Three-hundred and seventy-eight responses were taken into consideration. A majority of the respondents (63.5%) were engaged in both COVID-19-related duties and departmental work (out-patient and in-patient duty). Around two-thirds of the trainees (65.1%) claimed a reduction in patient footfall (greater than 50% compared to pre-COVID times). Sixty-nine percent reported a decline of more than 50% in in-patient admission; 47.6% felt that the discontinuity in patient care had severely affected their residency training; 50.8% highlighted that no procedures were being performed in their department; 54.5% opined that academic activities were relatively unhampered as regular seminars were being conducted through online web-based applications; and 65.1% of the trainees were not able to devote any time to their thesis-related work.

Conclusion:
Since the after-effects of this pandemic will last long, it is advisable that residents and faculties adapt themselves to web-based learning programs in the academic curriculum so that the training of the future consultants does not get jeopardized. Our survey, being the first of its kind in dermatology, will throw some light on the perspective of residents and the way forward to combat the untoward consequences on their training programs.
Organizational Support as Perceived by Staff Nurses and its Relation to their Autonomy
Authors: Saad Ehsan S. S. , Elsayed Samah M. 
Published: May 2021

Context: Nurses need support at all levels in the organization. When staff nurses perceive organizational support, this can promote their sense of well-being, raise positive work behaviors and enhance their autonomy in patient care and unit operational decisions through having the right to make decisions and do their best to increases productivity and achieve organizational goals.
Aim: The current study aimed to assess organizational support as perceived by staff nurses and its relation to their autonomy.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional analytical research design utilized to achieve the aim of the current study. This study conducted in all units of Benha University Hospital. Study subjects were301 out of 1224 staff nurses; their selection was based on a simple random sample. Two tools used for data collection namely perceived organizational support questionnaire and staff nurses' autonomy scale.
Results: The result of the study yield that more than two-thirds (73.3%) of the studied staff nurses had low perception levels regarding organizational support, while less than half (45.8%) of them had moderate autonomy levels. Also, there was a highly statistically significant positive correlation (p-value <0.001) between organizational support as perceived by studied staff nurses and their autonomy.
Conclusions: The study concluded that a positive, highly statistically significant correlation was found between organizational support as perceived by studied staff nurses and their autonomy. The study recommended that hospital as an organization should clarify available types of its organizational support for staff nurses and encourage them to express their needs and put strategies to increase needed support. Hospital administrators should enhance staff nurses’ autonomy regarding patients' care and the unit's operational decisions. A training program should be provided for staff nurses about how to be more autonomous to make independent, wise decisions. Future research is suggested regarding a broader cross-section replication of this study for diverse nurses from all over the country that may yield generalization of the results. Also, further research is needed to explore barriers that staff nurses face in autonomous decision making and how to promote them in participation in unit operational decisions.
Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients Aged 85 Years or Older: A Retrospective Analysis of Outcomes
Authors: Aubiniere-Robb Louise , Reid George , Murphy Aengus 
Published: May 2021

Background Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the first-line treatment for acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Evidence of benefit from PPCI in the elderly is sparse. Our aim was to evaluate survival outcomes in patients aged ≥85 years who undergo PPCI for STEMI. Methods Clinical data were collected retrospectively on all patients aged ≥85 years who were referred and accepted for PPCI to our centre between 2013 and 2018. Results One hundred and forty-three patients received PPCI. Median hospital stay was seven days. One hundred and thirty-one patients survived admission. One-year mortality was 33.5%. Age and baseline renal function were independent predictors of one-year mortality. Median survival was 2.55 years. Conclusion Advanced age alone should not be used as an exclusion criterion for PPCI; rather, a personalised approach that takes into account all clinically relevant patient factors should guide PCI decision-making. Our findings suggest that PPCI as first-line treatment for STEMI in the very old should be considered routinely.

HazMapper: a global open-source natural hazard mapping application in Google Earth Engine
Authors: Scheip Corey M. , Wegmann Karl W. 
Published: May 2021

Abstract. Modern satellite networks with rapid image acquisition cycles allow for near-real-time imaging of areas impacted by natural hazards such as mass wasting, flooding, and volcanic eruptions. Publicly accessible multi-spectral datasets (e.g., Landsat, Sentinel-2) are particularly helpful in analyzing the spatial extent of disturbances, however, the datasets are large and require intensive processing on high-powered computers by trained analysts. HazMapper is an open-access hazard mapping application developed in Google Earth Engine that allows users to derive map and GIS-based products from Sentinel or Landsat datasets without the time- and cost-intensive resources required for traditional analysis. The first iteration of HazMapper relies on a vegetation-based metric, the relative difference in the normalized difference vegetation index (rdNDVI), to identify areas on the landscape where vegetation was removed following a natural disaster. Because of the vegetation-based metric, the tool is typically not suitable for use in desert or polar regions. HazMapper is not a semi-automated routine but makes rapid and repeatable analysis and visualization feasible for both recent and historical natural disasters. Case studies are included for the identification of landslides and debris flows, wildfires, pyroclastic flows, and lava flow inundation. HazMapper is intended for use by both scientists and non-scientists, such as emergency managers and public safety decision-makers.
Accepting the pressures of coaching: Insights into what experienced coaches learn with over 10 years-experience working with elite junior tennis players
Authors: Gowling Callum 
Published: May 2021

Despite a growing body of research into sports coaching there is little understanding of what it is like to coach elite junior tennis players. The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of 8 UK, experienced tennis coaches and describe what it is like to coach elite junior tennis players. An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) of 8 experienced tennis coaches (over 10 years-experience) shows their insights into elite junior tennis coaching and provides avenues of comparison with the experiences of younger tennis coaches (Gowling, 2019). This study found that (a) experienced tennis coaches described a panoramic view of coaching, (b) experienced coaches were confident in their coaching effectiveness, and (c) acceptance of challenges in coaching helped experienced coaches develop effective coping mechanisms to sustain their emotional well-being and motivation to coach for long careers. The findings of this research contribute to an evolving, problematic epistemology of sports coaching and confirms that the experiences of existing coaches could contribute to more effective training of coaches. The findings present governing bodies opportunities to inform coach education literature and help tennis coaches to sustain themselves in an emotionally challenging role.

Primary Oxide Minerals in the Layered Series of the Muskox Intrusion
Authors: Irvine T. N. , Smith C. H. 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
The layered series of the Muskox intrusion consists of 42 layers of 18 different rock types and has a total thickness of about 6,500 feet. The series ranges with much repetition from dunite at the base, through peridotite and various pyroxenites and gabbros, to a discontinuous capping of granophyre. The layers are accumulations of mineral grains fractionally crystallized and settled from basaltic magma, and the sequence of layers reflects the order of crystallization of the minerals periodically interrupted by the introduction of fresh magma. The primary oxide minerals are chromite, magnetite and ilmenite.
Chromite occurs as tiny octahedral crystals. It is disseminated in amounts of 1–3 percent (by volume) throughout layers of dunite and peridotite having a total thickness of about 4,000 feet, and it is concentrated in two thin layers in peridotite just below orthopyroxenite layers. Textural, modal and chemical data show that the chromite crystallized simultaneously with olivine, and the thin concentrated layers apparently formed as a result of gravity sorting accompanying a change in crystallization from relatively coarse olivine to finer-grained orthopyroxene. Chromite ceased to precipitate when pyroxene began to form.
The magnetite and ilmenite are settled minerals in granophyre-bearing gabbro near the top of the intrusion. Magnetite was first to crystallize and co-precipitated with plagioclase and pyroxene in amounts of 3–5 percent. With the appearance of ilmenite, the two oxide minerals generally total 8–10 percent. The settled grains of magnetite have equant forms; those of ilmenite, a distinctive platy habit. The magnetite commonly shows lamellae of ilmenite probably formed by "exsolution" in response to deuteric or later oxidation. The parent liquid of the magnetite and ilmenite apparently was fairly rich in FeO and TiO2 but did not have an exceptionally large content of Fe2O3.
The crystallization relations of the Muskox oxide minerals obey closely certain theoretical rules of fractional crystallization and are generally consistent, both qualitatively and quantitatively, with available phase equilibria data. They may therefore be applicable in other intrusions, in which case they place some fairly stringent limitations on processes of fractional crystallization as possible means of producing ore-grade deposits of chromite, magnetite and ilmenite.
Origin of Chromite Seams in the Hartley Complex of the Great Dyke, Rhodesia
Authors: Bichan R. 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
The Great Dyke of Rhodesia consists of 4 ultrabasic lopolithic complexes, each of which can be divided into a series of synclinal units; these are numbered Unit 1, Unit 2, Unit 3, etc., from the top to the bottom of each lopolith. The present investigations, based on numerous diamond drill cores, is concerned with Unit 2 in the Hartley Complex of the Dyke and, in particular, with the origin of the two chromite seams it contains. A typical vertical section is: Unit 1, Gabbroic rocks; Unit 2, Pyroxenite, olivine in basal part—470 feet, Picrite and harzburgite—150 ft., Chromite Seam No. 1—10 in., Harzburgite—80 ft., Chromite Seam No. 2—14 in., Unit 3, Pyroxenite, etc.
Detailed examination has been made on the petrographic and stratigraphic relations of the two chromite seams and the contact of Units 2 and 3, and the chemical composition of whole rocks and co-existing chromite and olivine.
These studies indicate that Unit 2 was formed from two magmatic inflows, the first occurring before complete crystallization of the pyroxenites of Unit 3 had taken place and the second well before crystallization of the first inflow had been completed.
Precambrian Iron Deposits in Missouri
Authors: Snyder Frank G. 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
New discoveries made over the past several years indicate that Southeast Missouri is a major iron province. The ten known iron occurrences include three major deposits.
The ore occurs as magnetite, with minor amounts of hematite, in Precambrian rhyolites and andesites. Iron mineralization may be conformable with flow structures of volcanic rocks or may be sharply disconformable. Ore bodies, overlain by up to 2,000 feet of Lower Paleozoic sediments, may be at the Precambrian outcrop or subcrop, or within upper Precambrian. Their presence is indicated by strong sharp magnetic anomalies.
Published age dates of rocks from Missouri range from 1.1 b.y. to 1.5 b.y. At Pea Ridge ore body, the rhyolite host and a post-ore dike cutting the ore body give essentially the same age, within the limits of error, of 1.3 b.y.
Deformation due to magmatic pressures that accompanied or immediately followed igneous activity is believed to be the major factor localizing the deposits. The iron could have been derived by differentiation of granitic magma or from hydrothermal alteration of older basic rocks. Presently available evidence suggests that it was derived from the granitic magma.
Nickel Sulfide Ores Related to Ultrabasic Intrusions in Canada
Authors: Kilburn L. C. , Wilson H. D. B. , Graham A. R. , Ogura Y. , Coats C. J. A. , Scoates R. F. J. 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Canadian nickel sulfide ores related to ultrabasic rocks are divided into two categories based on geological environment. The Orogenic category is related to ultrabasic intrusions localized along or adjacent to major faults, whereas the Volcanic category is distributed throughout thick volcanic sequences as interflow sills and dikes.
In both the orogenic and volcanic categories, nickel sulfide deposits occur as disseminations within the ultrabasic intrusion, as massive and stringer zones at the ultrabasic contact, and as massive and stringer zones within the adjacent wall rocks.
The normal sulfide assemblage in most deposits is relatively simple, and comprises the primary minerals pyrrhotite, pentlandite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and magnetite, usually in that order of abundance. Important exceptions are millerite, pentlandite, pyrite and chalcopyrite at Marbridge No. 2, Quebec and unusually high pyrite contents at Shebandowan, Ontario.
Petrographic studies reveal a pattern of progressive recrystallization with serpentinization. Increased serpentine grain size with recrystallization leads to displacement of sulfide minerals and finally complete destruction of primary silicate-sulfide textures.
In the Orogenic category, ultrabasic rocks are predominantly peridotite and pyroxenite; disseminated sulfide is the most common mode of occurrence, irregularly distributed throughout the ultrabasic intrusion; contact deposits are encountered less frequently and deposits in the wall rocks are rare. In the Volcanic category, ultrabasic rocks are predominantly peridotite with gabbro; contact deposits are most common; disseminated deposits are less common; and wall rock deposits are rare.
