setifian roman basins

Published: March 2021

It was by serendipity, during a survey aimed at determining the course of an underground source by employees of the municipality of Sétif in 1907, that the beautiful monument was discovered at a depth of three meters of the “Roman basins” of Sétif (Algeria)[1]. The architecture of this site caught the attention of both elected officials and the public, and led to considering its conservation. Located in the Rafaoui garden (former Barral garden)[2], it represents one of the most beautifully preserved open-air monuments in this city. However, it remains a subject of controversy as to its "origin"[3]. The present work seeks to weave a portrait of the model, which will provide us with the arguments necessary for its "identification", and thus brought a correction on its name, and at the same time justify the action of a support for its conservation[4].

[1] This source feeds the two main and famous fountains of this city (Ain Fouara & Ain Droudj), located in a part known for its wealth of Roman remains. (Elizabeth Fenteress, Paul-Albert Février, Anissa Mohamedi, 1984).
[2] Since this discovery, the site has been laid out as an "open-air museum garden", displaying this unearthed archaeological treasure.
[3] Improperly called nowadays "Roman baths", instead of "nymphs", and this is what we are going to dismantle.
[4] In our situation, the question of heritage is no longer posed only in terms of preservation, but also in terms of integration into the changing urban environment, which is another form of "valorisation".
The Moderating Effect of Emotional Competence on Job Satisfaction and Organisational Commitment of Healthcare Professionals
Authors: Stamouli Elena , Gerbeth Sebastian 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Background
Medical organisations such as hospitals are largely seen as task-based, wherein different individuals are expected to work in interdependent teams. The present study seeks to demonstrate the relevance of individual factors (job satisfaction) and individual competences (emotional competence) for organisational commitment in a sample of healthcare professionals.
Methods
Using multi-source data, the empirical study examined the interaction effect by analysing data collected from 96 healthcare professionals of five hospitals in Germany. To investigate the relationship between emotional competence, job satisfaction and organisational commitment, moderated regression analysis, as well as simple slope analysis, were performed.
Results
Hierarchical multiple regression analysis shows that emotional competence moderated the relationship between satisfaction with the job and commitment to the job. Our findings confirm that healthcare professionals with high emotional competence are able to deal more effectively with dissatisfaction in the workplace so that organisational commitment remains unaffected.
Conclusion
Based on the results of this study, emotional competence of healthcare professionals is important for increasing job satisfaction and commitment to the job. Especially for healthcare professionals whose job satisfaction is low, a high level of emotional competence enables them to maintain a high level of organisational commitment. The findings of the study are discussed at the theoretical level for researchers and practical level for hospital managers.

Abstract
Purpose

This study aimed to determine the frequency, sociodemographic profile, clinical presentation, patterns of injury, treatment and outcomes of cases of simultaneous bilateral ocular trauma.
Methods

This retrospective study was conducted from May 2015 to April 2019. The medical records of patients presenting with bilateral ocular injuries were reviewed.
Results

Among the 402 patients presenting with ocular injuries, 34 (8.46%) had simultaneous bilateral ocular trauma. The majority were male (70.59%) and the mean age was 26.82 ± 15.86 years (range: 2–70 years).Most injuries occurred away from home (64.71%), mainly in roads (32.36%) or playgrounds (14.71%), and the vast majority (91.18%) were non-occupational in nature. Mechanical injuries were most frequent (47.05%), followed by cracker (17.65%), chemical (17.65%) and thermal (11.76%) injuries. Most cases occurred due to assault (26.47%), road traffic injury(20.59%) or sports/recreational activities (17.65%). The majority of victims were not using protective devices at the time of injury (82.35%) and had associated polytrauma (58.82%).Closed and open globe injuries accounted for 29.41% and 14.71% of cases, respectively, mostly involving zones I (55.00%) and II (40.00%). Orbital fractures occurred in 27.94% of eyes. Category I and II ocular trauma scores were noted in 5.88% and 7.35% of eyes, respectively. Overall, 13.24% were blinded as a result of the trauma.
Conclusion

Simultaneous bilateral ocular trauma is rare and occurs mostly following traffic accidents, assault or recreational activities. In particular, younger males are more prone to bilateral ocular injuries, the majority of which are severe and associated with poor outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose Understanding the activities of daily living (ADL) of cancer patients at the end-of-life stage may help healthcare providers develop interventions for preserving physical function and enhance patient’s dignity in an everyday care context. This study aims to develop and test a causal effect model of physical function in terminal cancer patients.Methods A total of 238 terminal cancer patients were recruited from two hospitals in South Korea. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire including demographics, visual analogue scale for pain, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue, and Katz index of independence in ADL. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 25.0 and AMOS 23.0 programs for structural equation modeling procedures. Results The model showed a good fit to the data (χ2/df=2.08, GFI=0.932, NFI=0.966, TLI=0.971, CFI=0.982, AGFI=0.874, RMSEA=0.067). Physical function of patients with terminal cancer was positively influenced by regular exercise and negatively influenced by hospitalization, fatigue, and pain, explaining 35.1% of the variance. In this study, regular exercise improved participants’ ADL level directly and indirectly either by reducing fatigue or decreasing fatigue through controlling pain. Pain did not affect ADL directly but decreased ADL level indirectly through fatigue as a mediator.Conclusion Based on these results, in order to minimizing the problems of physical function in terminal cancer patients, interventions that reduce pain and fatigue and provide regular exercise are required. Particularly, hospitalized patients are susceptible to a decrease in physical function, so regular physical function evaluations may be considered.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
In the paper, a novel magneto electro elastic ( model of bi-directional ( 2 D) functionally graded material s (FGM s ) beam s is developed for investigating the nonlinear dynamics It is shown that the asymmetric modes induced by the 2D FGM s may significantly affect the nonlinear dynamic responses which is tremendously different from previous studies Taking into account the geometric nonlinearity, the nonlinear equation of motion and associated boundary conditions for the beam s are derived according to the Hamilton’s principle The linear frequencies and modes of the beam s are numerically calculated by the generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) GDQM). The frequency responses of the nonlinear forced vibration are constructed based on the Galerkin technique incorporating with the incremental harmonic balance (I HB) approach. The influences of the material distributions, length thickness ratio, electric voltage, magnetic potential as well as boundary condition on the nonlinear resonant frequency and response amplitude are discussed in details. It is notable that increasing in the axial and thickness FG indexes, negative electric potential and positive magnetic potential can lead to decline the nonlinear resonance frequency and amplitude peak which is usually applied to accurately design the multiferroic composite structures.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Aims:

To evaluate the frequency of impairment on semantic verbal fluency (SVF) test in patients with a new brain tumour prior to neurosurgery and to examine scores across symptom presentations.

Methods:

This is a secondary analysis of clinical, cognitive and capacity data from a prospective study of consent in patients with newly diagnosed brain tumours. Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-Revised version, which includes within it the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), was tested prior to surgery. Patient’s presenting symptoms were categorised into five groups according to a pre-defined criteria. SVF score was converted to a z-score to identify frequency of impairment and raw scores for SVF were compared across symptom presentations.

Results:

A total of 97 patients (51% female; mean age 53.8 years; 53% high-grade tumours; 11% metastases) were assessed. Forty-one percent had headache only or headache “plus”, 26% had focal deficit only; 21% had seizures only, and 13% had cognitive deficits. SVF was impaired in 40% of patients. Adjusted SVF performance was worse for patients with headache symptoms and cognitive deficits than those with focal neurology only or seizures. SVF and MMSE had a positive moderate-strong correlation (r=0.59, p<0.0001).

Conclusion:

Decreased cognitive performance as identified by SVF is common in patients with a new brain tumour, especially those with headache or cognitive deficits. A low SVF may be a useful rapid additional “red flag” for patients with a suspicious headache, when referral to secondary care is considered. Further work needs to be done around the cut-off values for SVF in helping primary care clinicians select patients for early referral.

Abstract
PurposeThe family of leukemia patients, due to their caring role, often feel psychological distress. This paper describes the efficacy of a designed family-need-based program on relieving depression, anxiety, and stress of family caregivers of leukemia patients by meeting the specific psychological needs of caregivers.MethodsIn this clinical trial, 64 family caregivers of leukemia patients referring to a medical center in Iran were recruited by convenience sampling and divided into study and control groups randomly. The study group attended a designed need-based program. The control group did not receive the intervention. Stress, anxiety, and depression before, right after, and one month after the intervention in family caregivers were compared using DASS-42. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics; the significance level adopted was 5%.ResultsBefore the intervention, the mean score of depression, anxiety, and stress scale in both study and control groups showed no considerable difference (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the mean score of DASS-42 revealed a significant difference between the two groups and the study group did better on outcomes (P < 0.001).ConclusionThis family-need-based program can decrease the level of stress, anxiety, and depression of the family caregivers of leukemia patients and may potentially alleviate the psychological distress of family caregivers over their caring role.Trial registration number: IRCT2013093011895N2.

Abstract
Background

Prognostic factors can impact the quality of life and overall survival in metastatic situations: sarcopenia and nutritional status disorders.
Methods

We conducted a non-interventional, observational prospective study during 3 consecutive months (SPACE trial, ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04714203). Performance status, lumbar skeletal muscle index (by CT scan), albumin, C-reactive protein, or LDH, were collected from medical records in the classic balance sheet at inclusion and then at 3 and 6 months after the day of inclusion.
Results

38 patients were included with a median age of 68 years old and 31 were evaluable for sarcopenia. 58.1% of patients with metastatic cancer were sarcopenic at the diagnosis and 61% at 6 months. At the inclusion, 87.5% of sarcopenic patients were men (p < 0.0002) and sarcopenia status was associated with lung localization (p < 0.0332) and non-operable cancer (p < 0.0069).
Conclusion

The majority of patients in our study were sarcopenic at the inclusion and at 6 months. However, the number of patients was too small to correlate sarcopenia with survival. Further larger studies are needed to establish stronger results. In the future, sarcopenic patients could benefit from specialized care with nutrition and adapted physical activity.
Irreversible Response of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) to CO2 Forcing

Abstract
With the unprecedented rate of global warming in this century, whether or not human-made climate change is irreversible is the most critical question. Based on idealized CO2 ramp-up and -down experiments, we show here that the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) exhibits irreversible changes. While the ITCZ location does not change much during the CO2 increasing period, the ITCZ sharply moves south as soon as CO2 begins to decrease, and its center eventually resides in the Southern Hemisphere. The pattern of the irreversible precipitation changes manifests a permanent extreme El Nino-like pattern, which has distinctive impacts on the global hydrological cycle. It was revealed that the hysteresis behavior of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and the delayed energy exchanges between the tropics and extratropics are responsible for the peculiar evolution of the hemispheric temperature contrast, leading to irreversible ITCZ changes.

Abstract
The increasing occurrence of antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli in human and animal population has become a global public health problem that requires immediate intervention. We aimed to investigate prevalence and risk factors for faecal carriage of drug-resistant E. coli among slaughterhouse workers. We conducted this cross-sectional study among 118 apparently healthy workers in the largest slaughterhouses in Abuja and Lagos from July to December 2020. E. coli was isolated from stool samples of slaughterhouse workers and antimicrobial susceptibility testing performed using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Multi-drug resistance (MDR) was defined as resistance to three or more classes of antibiotics. Majority were males: 88.1% (n = 104), aged > 41years: 28.8% (n = 34), married: 70.3% (n = 83), and were butchers: 53.4% (n = 63). Prevalence of MDR E. coli was 50% (n = 59), highest among butchers compared to Slaughterhouse cleaners. Of 75 E. coli isolates identified, 25.3% (n = 19) were ESBL producers; 78.7% (n = 59) were MDR. Keeping animals (p = 0.01); eating at the Slaughterhouse (p = 0.03) and collecting waste (p = 0.02) remained independent risk factors for acquiring MDR E. coli. Prevalence of resistant E. coli was highest among butchers and associated with keeping animals at home, eating at work, and waste-collection. Hand-hygiene and responsible use of antibiotics among slaughterhouse workers should be encouraged.

Abstract
Background: A consensus regarding diverting stoma (DS) construction in rectal cancer surgery was reached to avoid reoperation related to anastomotic leakage. However, the incidence of stoma-related complications (SRCs) remains high. In this study, we aimed to examine the perioperative outcomes of DS construction in patients who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer.Methods: Between 2005 and 2017, we included 400 participants who underwent radical sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer. These participants were divided into two groups: DS (+) and DS (-) groups, and the outcomes, including postoperative complications (POCs), were compared.Results and conclusion: The incidence of ileus was higher in the DS (+) group (P<0.01); however, no patient showed anastomotic leakage of grade3. Furthermore, early SRCs were observed in 33 patients (21.6%) and bowel obstruction -related stoma outlet syndrome occurred in 19 patients (12.4%). There was no intergroup difference in the incidence of grade 3b POCs. However, the most common reason for reoperation was different in the two groups: anastomotic leakage in 91.7% of patients with 3b POCs in the DS (-) group, and SRCs in 85.7% of patients with 3b POCs in the DS (+) group.In patients with DS, there was an increase in the incidence of overall POCs, severe POCs (grade 3), and bowel obstruction, including stoma outlet syndrome, compared to patients without DS. Therefore, it is important to construct an appropriate DS to avoid SRCs and to be more selective in assigning patients for DS construction.

Abstract
Pruning of Juglans mandshurica produces a lot of waste branches which are potentially rich source of juglone. However, they are usually discarded as waste. Given that, the water-in-oil microemulsion was proposed, aiming at developing a novel and efficient microemulsion-based microwave-assisted extraction（MBMAE）method. By which juglone in the Juglans mandshurica waste branches could be obtained. In our experiment, the waste branches powder was added to the MBMAE system. Under the best microemulsion system: (tween 80: n-propanol : n-hexane : water＝27% : 13.5% : 4.5% : 55%), the PH of the microemulsion solution of 5.6, microemulsion - Juglans mandshurica branches powder of 20:1 (mL/g), operating temperature of 40°C and operating time of 63 s, operating power of 400 W, the juglone yield was 4.58 mg/g. The results were that the extraction yield applying the MBMAE method were 1.86-fold and 6.65-fold that of microwave-assisted extraction applying ethanol (Ethanol-MAE) and heat reflux extraction by ethanol (Ethanol-HRE), respectively. Obviously, the MBMAE method could be used as an alternative to traditional extraction methods to extract juglone.Statement of Novelty A large number of waste branches from Juglans mandshurica pruning are often discarded as waste. Based on the concept of green development, this work proposes for the first time the extraction and utilization of juglone from the waste branches of Juglans mandshurica. However, a certain problem such as low efficiency, high cost, and complicated operation is existing in traditional extraction method for juglone. Consequently, a special microemulsion system for juglone was established for the first time, and on this basis, the application of MBMAE method to the extraction of juglone was also proposed for the first time. It provides data support for the extraction of juglone from other materials or plants.

Abstract
Ice masses and snow of Hunza River Basin (HRB) are an important primary source of fresh water and lifeline for downstream inhabitants. Changing climatic conditions seriously put an impact on these available ice and snow masses. These glaciers may affect downstream population by glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF) and surge events due to climatic variation. So, monitoring of these glaciers and available ice masses are important. This research delivers an approach for selected glaciers of the Hunza river basin. An attempt is made in this study using Landsat (OLI, ETM, ETM+, TM), digital elevation model (DEM), Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing techniques (RS&GIS) techniques. We delineated 27 glaciers within HRB from the period of 1990-2018. These glaciers' total area is about 2589.75 ±86km 2 in 1990 and about 2565.12 ±68km 2 in 2018. Our results revealed that from 2009 to 2015, glacier coverage of HRB advanced with a mean annual advance rate of 2.22±0.1 km 2 a -1 . Conversely, from 1994 to 1999, the strongest reduction in glacier area with a mean rate of - 3.126±0.3km 2 a -1 is recorded. The glaciers of HRB are relatively stable compared to Hindukush, Himalayan and Tibetan Plateau (TP) region of the world. The steep slope glacier's retreat rate is more than that of gentle slope glaciers, and the glaciers below elevation of 5000 m above sea level change significantly. Based on climate data from 1995-2018, HRB shows a decreasing trend in temperature and increasing precipitation. The glacier area's overall retreat is due to an increase in summer temperature while the glacier advancement is induced possibly by winter and autumn precipitation.
