Authors: Biglari Mahnoosh , D’Amato Michele , Formisano Antonio 
Published: May 2021

Background:
In this research a rapid vulnerability and risk assessment at a territorial level is performed.

Methods:
The methodology used, initially proposed for ancient masonry churches, is extended and applied to ten historic masonry mosques in Kermanshah city. The method could be considered as preliminary risk assessment approach of historic structures, refers to LV0 method, since the used methodology requires simple qualitative information. It involves the application of three distinct tools; the exposure, the seismic hazard, and the seismic vulnerability.

Results:
The comparisons among the obtained results, by considering also the damages suffered during the last earthquakes and war blasts, validate the methodology proposed, capable of providing a seismic risk scoring at a territorial level also for ancient masonry mosques. As known, through this kind of approach, important information is obtained in order to manage and to mitigate the seismic risk of a certain territorial asset. The results show that all ten mosques has medium earthquake vulnerability condition. Emad e Doleh mosque is the most vulnerable case with vulnerability of 34. Navab mosque is located on the most hazardous place. Furthermore, the seismic vulnerability map and seismic risk indices are presented for all the investigated mosques.

Conclusion:
The obtained results are useful for ranking the priorities and for preliminary defining an interventions plan to be examined in detail with additional quantitative investigations carried out with more refined approaches.

Authors: Shaaban Khaled 
Published: May 2021

Background:An acceptable level of knowledge of traffic rules is needed for any driver to drive on public roads. This knowledge is typically acquired at a younger age during the process of attaining a driver's license.Aim:The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of knowledge among young drivers and how it could be improved. The study also explores the relationships between driving experience and knowledge scores as well as between driving training and knowledge scores for young drivers.Methods:A questionnaire survey that covered questions related to traffic law, fines, demerit points, traffic signs, and different driving situations was conducted among young drivers to assess their knowledge level. In addition to the different demographic questions, the survey included questions related to their licensing-related training and driving experience.Results:The participants revealed an acceptable level of knowledge in general, measured in terms of the percentage of correct responses. The participants showed an above-average level of knowledge of traffic signs, an acceptable level of knowledge in questions related to handling different driving situations, but they lacked knowledge of questions related to fines and demerit points. Drivers who attended a driving course before obtaining their driver's license performed better than drivers who did not. Similarly, drivers with more driving experience performed better than drivers with less experience.Conclusion:In summary, the results suggest that providing driving courses and acquiring driving experience are relevant to the acquisition of driving knowledge for young drivers.

Published: May 2021

Background and Objective:
This study aims to improve the capacity and level of service at the sixth circle in Jordan by using traffic signals and a roundabout metering approach.

Methods:
VISSIM software and C++ program were used to improve the capacity and level of service. The site area (Sixth circle) was located near Crown Plaza and the Jordan Gate Towers project, which causes congestion due to heavy traffic flow. Therefore, this paper assesses the traffic in the sixth circle and presents the possible solutions to reduce the daily traffic flow for the users of this circle.

Results:
Four signals were placed at the roundabout in the second scenario, which was connected to each other with different cycle lengths. 90-second cycle length gives D value of the level of service. The third scenario was placed adaptive signals on the roundabout, which connects traffic signals with ground detectors placed at a certain distance before the signal and based on the queue length of the flow cars that pass the detector.

Conclusion:
The adaptive signals worked on the opening and closing and were designed according to the language simulation and the adoption of the language C++. The first two signals were opened considering the Swefieh road with the reference of King Faisal for a period of 45 seconds. It was then closed for 45 seconds to open the signal from the next street from the fifth circle with Zahran street.

Indigenous Mothers’ Use of Web- and App-Based Information Sources to Support Healthy Parenting and Infant Health in Canada: Interpretive Description
Authors: Wright Amy Lynn , VanEvery Rachel , Miller Vicky 
Published: May 2021

Background
Web-based sources of health information are widely used by parents to support healthy parenting and aid in decision making about their infants’ health. Although fraught with challenges such as misinformation, if used appropriately, web-based resources can improve access to health education and promote healthy choices. How Indigenous mothers use web-based information to support their parenting and infants’ health has not yet been investigated; however, web-based modalities may be important methods for mitigating the reduced access to health care and negative health care interactions that many Indigenous people are known to experience.

Objective
This study aims to understand the experience of Indigenous mothers who use web-based information to support the health of their infants.

Methods
This interpretive description qualitative study used semistructured interviews and a discussion group to understand how Indigenous mothers living in Hamilton, Ontario and caring for an infant aged <2 years experienced meeting the health needs of their infants. The data presented reflect their experiences of using web-based sources of health information to support their infants’ health. The Two-Eyed Seeing approach was applied to the study design, which ensured that both western and Indigenous worldviews were considered throughout.

Results
A total of 19 Indigenous mothers participated in this study. The resulting 4 themes included distrusting information, staying anonymous, using visual information to support decision making, and accessing a world of experiences. Although fewer Indigenous mothers used web-based sources of information compared to mothers in the general population in other studies, tailoring web-based modalities to meet the unique needs of Indigenous mothers is an important opportunity for supporting the health and wellness of both mothers and infants.

Conclusions
Web-based information sources are commonly used among parents, and ever-evolving web-based technologies make this information increasingly available and accessible. Tailoring web-based modalities to meet the unique preferences and needs of Indigenous mothers is an important method for improving their access to reliable and accurate health care information, thereby supporting healthy parenting and promoting infant health.

Published: May 2021

Background and objectives
Survivors of AKI are at higher risk of CKD and death, but few patients see a nephrologist after hospital discharge. Our objectives during this 2-year vanguard phase trial were to determine the feasibility of randomizing survivors of AKI to early follow-up with a nephrologist or usual care, and to collect data on care processes and outcomes.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
We performed a randomized controlled trial in patients hospitalized with Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stage 2–3 AKI at four hospitals in Toronto, Canada. We randomized patients to early nephrologist follow-up (standardized basket of care that emphasized BP control, cardiovascular risk reduction, and medication safety) or usual care from July 2015 to June 2017. Feasibility outcomes included the proportion of eligible patients enrolled, seen by a nephrologist, and followed to 1 year. The primary clinical outcome was a major adverse kidney event at 1 year, defined as death, maintenance dialysis, or incident/progressive CKD.

Results
We screened 3687 participants from July 2015 to June 2017, of whom 269 were eligible. We randomized 71 (26%) patients (34 to nephrology follow-up and 37 to usual care). The primary reason stated for declining enrollment included hospitalization-related fatigue (n=65), reluctance to add more doctors to the health care team (n=59), and long travel times (n=40). Nephrologist visits occurred in 24 of 34 (71%) intervention participants, compared with three of 37 (8%) participants randomized to usual care. The primary clinical outcome occurred in 15 of 34 (44%) patients in the nephrologist follow-up arm, and 16 of 37 (43%) patients in the usual care arm (relative risk, 1.02; 95% confidence interval, 0.60 to 1.73).

Conclusions
Major adverse kidney events are common in AKI survivors, but we found the in-person model of follow-up posed a variety of barriers that was not acceptable to many patients.

Sitagliptin-induced Pancreatitis: A case report and plausible mechanism
Authors: El-Reshaid Kamel , Al-Bader Shaikha , Markova Zaneta 
Published: May 2021

Drugs are rare cause of acute pancreatitis (AP) with an estimate incidence of 0.1-2%. We present an 63-year-man 1 week history of severe and progressive epigastric pain that radiates to the back and is worse on lying down, who was found to have lipase of more than 813 IU/L. The patient denied current alcohol use. Abdominal ultrasound and abdominal computed tomography scan did not show gallstones or biliary duct abnormalities. For his type-2 diabetes mellitus, he was taking Gliclazide and Metformin for years and Sitagliptin was the only drug added 6 months ago. He was managed conservatively with intravenous fluids, pain medications, and control of diabetes with insulin. Within 3 days, he improved dramatically and was discharged on diabetic diet and Gliclazide 120 mg daily with Lantos 10 units at night. He was instructed to avoid oral hypoglycemia agents from the dipeptidyl-peptidase IV inhibitors (DPP-4i) group. Three weeks later, repeat computed tomography scan of the abdomen showed normal pancreas. On follow up; and up to 1 year, he did not have subsequent AP. The most plausible mechanism of such late-development of rare drug-induced AP is late-encounter with triggering factor/s for Sitagliptin in genetically-predisposed individuals.

Published: May 2021

Tomato fruits were infected by various pathogens especially fungal pathogens under storage conditions as well as in field conditions. It was revealed that tomato fruits are attacked by Alternaria alternata causing Alternaria rot of tomato and Mucor plumbeus causing Mucor rot of tomato. Antifungal activity of some fungicides was undertaken during the present study. Different concentrations of fungicides brought about significant reduction in the mycelial growth and spore germination of Alternaria alternata and Mucor plumbeus under in vitro conditions. Hexaconozole proved highly effective in inhibiting the mycelial growth and spore germination of Alternaria alternata followed by carbendazim and copper oxychloride respectively. However, the most effective fungicide in inhibiting the mycelial growth and spore germination of Mucor plumbeus was hexaconozole followed by carbendazim and copper oxychloride respectively.

Published: May 2021

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are frequently encountered and more than 1 million are acquired daily. Genital allergy (GA), on the other hand, is another uncommon cause of sexually transmitted disorders that should be considered if no infection is identified or genital soreness persists or worsens with antimicrobial therapy. In this case report; we present a patient, with severe GA (type I hypersensitivity reaction) to vulvovaginal candidiasis in his sex partner. He was initially misdiagnosed as STD as he presented with severe penile and urethral oedema culminating in hematuria and bladder neck obstruction due to severe urethral oedema. Our systematic approach in diagnosis and hence treatment of the patient and his sex partner is outlined.

Усадьба Ильинское: утраченный памятник в культуре
Authors: Слюнькова Инесса 
Published: May 2021

Статья поднимает проблему нашего будущего простран­ственного окружения, которая решается сегодня в конфликте сохранения традиций и замещения объектов ценного, семан­тически значимого наследия новым частным строительством. Объектом исследования является архитектура подмосковной усадьбы Ильинское, в назначении резиденции Александра II, царской семьи, историко-культурное значение которой не получило объективной оценки в культуре.
Проводятся параллели между теорией литературы XIX века и программой обустройства императорского имения Ильинское. На первое место выходят понятия эпического жанра литературы и архитектуры, понятия физической и нрав­ственной красоты ансамбля усадьбы. Во внимание принима­ется изначально присущая эпосу и мифу система внутренних конфликтов, указывающая на пути направления будущего.
Работа опирается на вновь выявленные документальные изобразительные материалы. Впервые представлены литогра­фия «Народный праздник 20 июля 1869 года в Ильинском»; акварель Альб. Н. Бенуа с видом дворца; в полном объёме серия 14 фотографий усадьбы мастерской Шерер.
Затронута тема личностных моральных рисков использо­вания территорий, обладающих высокой степенью мемори­альной ценности.
Serendipity in Accounting: Teaching Students How to Navigate a Changing World
Authors: Klevsky Elena , Huber Marsha M. 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT
Serendipity is what happens when individuals achieve a positive outcome as a result of a chance encounter with unsought information that they have the knowledge, skill, and ability to properly process and act upon. Learning how to achieve serendipity may prove vital for the accounting profession, especially in a changing world where accountants need to expect the unexpected and respond to it appropriately. As a skill, serendipity can be developed in the accounting classroom, but it is not currently taught in business schools. This article provides accounting educators with resources to teach students about serendipity and gives suggestions on how to design serendipity activities for accounting classes that can help students develop a serendipity mindset.
