Published: April 2021

<p class="Abstract"><strong>Abstract. </strong>Historically, Banjarese is living in lowland around the Barito riverbank, in the southern part of Borneo Island, from about around the 12th century. The first part of Banjarese history is a legend, but about the last three hundred years, there are data about Banjarese as a civilization with a kingdom involved in western colonialism history in Indonesia, as the pepper producer in the 17th century. They have settled almost in all Barito river tributaries and its basin and have been a part of the Barito freshwater wetland community, together with other Kalimantan ethnics such as Dayak hinterland or Malay in the coastal. This research aims to elucidate how far Banjarese is involved in managing wetlands, especially in managing Snakehead's population, enjoying its benefit and sustainability. We observe the fishers' activity on the field and village along Barito river and its basin and tributaries, visit their villages and interview them, and collect data from forum group discussion. About 60 participative respondents involve in our research. They are pleased to answer our question, explain how to cat the fish, and accompany us to evaluate Beje, ditches, or little ponds positioned lower than the land surface for placed sustainable fishes in a long dry season. The result shows that Banjarese are traditionally managing the population of Snakehead and as a symbol of prosperity and conserve them for sustainability.</p>
Simulation of Foam Enhanced-Oil-Recovery Processes Using Operator-Based Linearization Approach
Authors: Lyu Xiaocong , Voskov Denis , Tang Jinyu , Rossen William R. 
Published: April 2021

SummaryFoam injection is a promising enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) technology that significantly improves the sweep efficiency of gas injection. Simulation of foam/oil displacement in reservoirs is an expensive process for conventional simulation because of the strongly nonlinear physics, such as multiphase flow and transport with oil/foam interactions. In this work, an operator-based linearization (OBL) approach, combined with the representation of foam by an implicit-texture (IT) model with two flow regimes, is extended for the simulation of the foam EOR process. The OBL approach improves the efficiency of the highly nonlinear foam-simulation problem by transforming the discretized nonlinear conservation equations into a quasilinear form using state-dependent operators. The state-dependent operators are approximated by discrete representation on a uniform mesh in parameter space. The numerical-simulation results are validated by using three-phase fractional-flow theory for foam/oil flow. Starting with an initial guess depending on the fitting of steady-state experimental data with oil, the OBL foam model is regressed to experimental observations using a gradient-optimization technique. A series of numerical validation studies is performed to investigate the accuracy of the proposed approach. The numerical model shows good agreement with analytical solutions at different conditions and with different foam parameters. With finer grids, the resolution of the simulation is better, but at the cost of more expensive computations. The foam-quality scan is accurately fitted to steady-state experimental data, except in the low-quality regime. In this regime, the used IT foam model cannot capture the upward-tilting pressure gradient (or apparent viscosity) contours. 1D and 3D simulation results clearly demonstrate two stages of foam propagation from inlet to outlet, as seen in the computed-tomography (CT) coreflood experiments: weak foam displaces most of the oil, followed by a propagation of stronger foam at lower oil saturation. OBL is a direct method to reduce nonlinearity in complex physical problems, which can significantly improve computational performance. Taking its accuracy and efficiency into account, the data-driven OBL-based approach could serve as a platform for efficient numerical upscaling to field-scale applications.

Abstract
Fagonia indica is an important medicinal plant species used traditionally against a variety of diseases. In this study, we initiated callus cultures from healthy stem explants. We observed maximum callus induction frequency (88%) on MS media supplemented with Thidiazuron (1.0 mg/mL). We also examined the callus cultures to determine the impact of iron-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Fe-ZnO-NPs) in concentrations (15.62 to 250 µg/mL) on biomass accumulation, secondary metabolism, and antioxidative potential in callus cultures of F. indica. Our results showed that maximum callus biomass (FW = 13.6 g and DW = 0.58 ± 0.01) was produced on day 40 when the media was supplemented with 250 µg/mL Fe-ZnO-NPs. Similarly, maximum TPC (268.36 µg GAE/g of DW) was detected in 40 days old callus added with 125 µg/mL Fe-ZnO-NPs. Maximum TFC (78.56 µg QE/g of DW) was observed in 20 days old callus grown in 62.5 µg/mL Fe-ZnO-NPs containing media. Maximum total antioxidant capacity (390.74 µg AAE/g of DW) was observed in 40 days old callus with 125 µg/mL Fe-ZnO-NPs treated cultures, respectively. The antioxidant potential was in correlation with the TPC. These results showed that Fe-ZnO-NPs elicitors can increase the biomass and activate secondary metabolism in F. indica cells.
A Big Leap From Its Normal Distribution, Two Hahn’s Short-Tailed Fruit Bats (Carollia subrufa) Reported in Far Southwestern Costa Rica.
Authors: Rodriguez David A , de Backer Wim , Briggs Lilly 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Populations of Hahn’s short-tailed fruit bats (Carollia subrufa) are found from northwestern Mexico to the tropical dry forests of northeastern Costa Rica, with but two reports in the Monteverde area and another in Dominical. Here we report two captures registered 310 kilometers south of their normal range in the country; specifically, in San Vito de Coto Brus. Due to the location of San Vito a mere 10 kilometers from the Panamanian border, we suggest the possibility of a new mammal species for that country. Finally, we encourage continued efforts to better understand bat populations in this region of the isthmus.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Purpose: To identify and compare possible changes in intraocular pressure (IOP), macular and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT) before and after 3 months of positive airway pressure (PAP) in patients with severe OSAS.Materials and Methods: Twenty-five patients diagnosed with severe OSAS in the neurology sleep outpatient clinic were included in the study. Ophthalmologic examinations were performed at the time of diagnosis and after 3 months of PAP treatment. Statistical analysis of comparisons of IOP and OCT measurements taken before and after PAP treatment was performed. Before treatment, the correlations between central corneal thickness (CCT), body mass index (BMI), OCT, IOP and sleep parameters were statistically investigated.Results: When comparisons were made for both eyes, after 3 months of PAP treatment, a statistically significant decrease in IOP, thickening of the macula, and thinning of RNFL in the superior nasal sector were found when compared with the measurements previously taken at the time of diagnosis (p <0.05). There was no correlation between pre-treatment IOP, OCT, CCT, BMI and sleep parameters.Discussion: The inflammatory effects of OSAS on the IOP and macula have been shown to be reversible with a 3-month PAP treatment, but the reversibility of the neurodegenerative effects of OSAS on RNFL with this treatment seems controversial. OCT is a promising technique for monitoring disease progression in patients with severe OSAS under PAP treatment.
Early Childhood Caries and Primary Caregiver Oral Health Literacy in Western Australia: a Systematic Scoping Review
Authors: ANDREW Lesley , WALLACE Ruth , WICKENS Nicole , PATEL Jilen 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Background

Early childhood caries disproportionately affects vulnerable groups and remains a leading cause of preventable hospital admissions for Western Australian children. The Western Australia State Oral Health Plan seeks to improve child oral health through universal and targeted health promotion initiatives with primary caregivers. These initiatives require evidence of primary caregiver health literacy and baseline data on Early childhood caries. The objective of this systematic scoping review is to understand current oral health literacy of primary caregivers of children aged 0 to 4 years, identify influential socioecological determinants, and identify data on Early childhood caries in the Western Australian context.
Methods

A systematic scoping review framework identified articles published between 1980 and 2021, using Scopus, PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, selected article reference lists, and oral health websites. Articles were screened via author consensus, with eight selected.
Results

Data on early childhood caries in Western Australia is limited; the suggested prevalence of 2.9% based on data over 15 years old, however national data suggests an Early childhood caries prevalence of 3.4–8% of children aged 18 months rising sharply by 36 months of age. Fewer than half the primary caregivers reported following evidence-based oral health recommendations for their young children. Engagement with dentists tended to be reactive. Knowledge of dietary and oral hygiene practices were inconsistent and awareness of the Child Dental Benefit Schedule low. Young children’s oral health status was clearly associated with socioecological factors including socioeconomic status.
Conclusions

Early childhood caries data and primary care-givers’ oral health literacy evidence are unavailable in Western Australia. To realise the Western Australia State Oral Health Plan, research is required to address this knowledge gap.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
The mechanics of rock masses in cold regions have attracted the attention of researchers from all over the world, and the concern here is that the mechanical properties of rock masses are inevitably weakened under freeze-thaw cycles. In this paper, firstly, granite samples were subjected to different freeze-thaw cycles, after that, we dealt with the freeze-thawed samples considering four different states, such as saturated and frozen states, saturated and normal temperature states, dry and frozen states as well as dry and normal temperature states. The impact compression test was carried out by using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) device. Results show that the impact strength of granite samples deteriorates with the increase of freeze-thaw cycles in the same state, for samples in different states, although the number of freeze-thaw cycles is equal, the degree of deterioration of the impact strength is different. For freeze-thawed granite samples in the same state, the dynamic elastic modulus decreases with the increase of freeze-thaw cycles, and its degree of decrease is different for different states. Under the same freeze-thaw cycles, the deterioration of mechanical properties of granite samples is different in four different weather states, for example, the dynamic elastic modulus from large to small is generally as follows: saturated and frozen states, saturated and normal temperature states, dry and frozen states as well as dry and normal temperature states. Finally, the freeze-thaw influence factor is proposed to describe the damage of granite samples. All in all, it can be concluded that water and low temperature strengthen the influence of freeze-thaw cycles on the dynamic mechanical properties of granite samples.

Abstract
BackgroundDespite the rapid dissemination of parenting programs aiming to reduce and prevent violence against children (VAC) worldwide, there is limited knowledge about and evidence of the implementation of these programs at scale. This study addresses this gap by assessing the quality of delivery and impact of an evidence-based parenting program for parents/caregivers and their adolescent girls aged 9 to 14 – Parenting for Lifelong Health Teens (PLH-Teens), known locally as Furaha Teens – on reducing VAC at scale in Tanzania. The study will explore participating family and staff perspectives on program implementation and examine factors associated with implementation and how implementation quality are associated with intervention outcomes when the program is delivered to approximately 50,000 parent-child dyads (N=100,000) in schools and community centers across eight districts of Tanzania.MethodsThis mixed-methods study will answer the following research questions: (1) what is the implementation quality and fidelity of PLH-Teens at scale in Tanzania; (2) what factors are associated with the quality of delivery and implementation fidelity of PLH-Teens; (3) how are implementation quality and fidelity associated with intervention outcomes; (4) what are participant and implementing staff perspectives on the acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, benefits, and challenges of delivering PLH-Teens in their schools and communities; (5) what is the impact of PLH-Teens on VAC and participant well-being; and (6) how much does it cost to deliver PLH-Teens at scale? Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected directly from implementers, parents/caregivers, and adolescents using pre-post questionnaires, observational assessments, cost surveys, focus groups, and interviews. Qualitative data will be analyzed thematically with the aid of NVIVO software. Quantitative data will be cleaned and analyzed using methods such as correlation, regression, and structural equation models using Stata and R. COREQ and TREND guidelines will be used, where appropriate.DiscussionFindings will provide vital insights into some of the factors related to quality implementation at scale. Lessons learned regarding the implementation of PLH-Teens at scale will be applied in Tanzania, and also in the delivery of PLH parenting programs globally.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Objective Assessing the risk of postoperative recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a clinical focus. To screen the main factors associated with the perioperative hematoma recurrence. We also propose a new prognostic grading system and compare it with previous grading systems to deliver a quick and effective system.Methods We included 242 unilateral patients with CSDH as the training group for modeling. Factors predicting postoperative recurrence requiring reoperation (RrR) were determined using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. The cut-off value for the brain re-expansion rate was determined through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Based on these, we developed a new prognostic scoring system and conducted preliminary verification. A verification group including 119 patients with unilateral CSDH was used to verify the predictive performance of the new and other grading systems.Results The key factors for predicting unilateral CSDH recurrence were cerebral re-expansion rate (≤ 40%) at postoperative days 7 – 9 and the preoperative computed tomography density classification (isodense or hyperdense, or separated or laminar types). Cerebral atrophy played a key role in brain re-expansion. The CSDH prognostic grading system ranged from 0 to 3. An increased score was associated with a more accurate progressive increase in the RrR rate. Our grading system demonstrated the best predictive performance compared with other systems (area under the curve = 0.856).Conclusions Our prognostic grading system could quickly and effectively screen high-risk RrR patients with unilateral CSDH. However, increased attention should be paid to brain re-expansion rate after surgery in patients with CSDH.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Methane content in a coal seam is a necessary parameter for evaluating coal bed gas, and it is a threat to underground coal mining activities from environmental aspects. Keeping in pace with comprehensive studies of coal bed gas, the authors had selected 12 coal samples from the Sitarampur block of Raniganj Coalfield. The Petrographic examination illustrated that significant values of reactive macerals present in samples demonstrate that organic matter is dominated by kerogen Type III, making it suitable for hydrocarbon generation. “A” factor (aliphatic/aromatic bands) and “C” factor (carbonyl/carboxyl bands) value concluded that the sample has the lowest aromaticity and the highest hydrocarbon-generating potential, which also validated by the cross plot between atomic H/C and O/C. The plots between the H/C and O/C ratio in the Van Krevelen diagram indicate that the coal samples lie in the type III kerogen, and bituminous coal (gas prone zone) is present in the block, which confirmed by the cross plot between desorbed and total gas (cc/g). The in-situ gas content values are high enough to produce methane from coal beds. The overall study concludes that the Sitarampur block from Raniganj Coalfield is suitable for hydrocarbon generation and extraction.

Abstract
Purpose In clinical practice, the risk factors for pegylated liposomal doxorubicin-related hand-foot syndrome remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors associated with hand-foot syndrome in patients with lymphoma using pegylated liposomal doxorubicin.Methods This retrospective descriptive analysis included patients with lymphoma who received PLD treatment (≥ 2 cycles of chemotherapy) at our cancer centre and had complete follow-up data from January 2016 to February 2020. Clinical, laboratory data, as well as the occurrence of hand-foot syndrome (incidence, location, severity, impact on follow-up chemotherapy) were obtained. The primary end point was the incidence of hand-foot syndrome, which was classified according to the "Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events" (Version 4.0). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for hand-foot syndrome in patients with lymphoma using doxorubicin liposomes. Findings A total of 167 patients met the inclusion criteria. 58 developed HFS, of which 45 occurred after the second course of chemotherapy. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a dose increase of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and hepatobiliary dysfunction were significantly associated with an increased risk for hand-foot syndrome(dose intensity, OR= 6.479; 95% CI, 1.431-29.331 [P =0.015]; history of gallstones, OR = 14.144, 95% CI, 1.512-132.346 [P =0.020]; alanine aminotransferase, OR = 1.194, 95% CI, 1.056-1.350 [P =0.005]; alanine aminotransferase, OR = 1.162, 95% CI, 1.010-1.336 [P =0.035]; and glutamine transpeptidase, OR = 1.092, 95% CI, 1.016-1.174 [P =0.018]).Implications These findings contribute to the risk assessment of patients with lymphoma before using pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. For patients with the above risk factors, preventive measures should be taken in advance to reduce the incidence of HFS.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Background: There is very little literature on Pulmonary hypertension associated with myocardial amyloid degeneration. At present, only 10 cases pulmonary hypertension cased by amyloid protein deposits in the pulmonary blood vessels have been reported by Eder et al. We reported a case that the patient was pulmonary artery hypertension combined with myocardial amyloid change. It’s aim to claims that pulmonary hypertension is most likely caused by amyloid fibrin deposition in pulmonary blood vessels.Case presentation: We report a case of a 65-year-old male patient with with AL and ATTR combined type amyloidosis who developed right heart failure because of severe pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension due to deposition of amyloid in the pulmonary vasculature is an uncommon finding; however, it should be considered in cases of unexplained pulmonary hypertension in patients with amyloidosis.Conclusion: we present a men with amyloidosis who developed dyspnea and right heart failure and was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, most probably secondary to pulmonary vascular involvement by amyloid fibrils.
