Assessing Probabilistic Rainfall Scenario over the Vidarbha	Region, India for Proper Risk Evaluation and Management of Water Resources
Authors: Sarkar Jayanta 
Published: November 2024

In a tropical country like India, instability in agricultural production stems from vagaries of rainfall. A complete and quantitative understanding of spatial and temporal variation of this resource is, therefore, required to increase and stabilize food production. The use of average seasonal or monthly rainfall does not seem to be appropriate for planning purposes as it does not cover the risk factor. A detailed probability analysis can bring out the amount of rainfall expected at different probability levels which in turn can give the number of years of adequate, deficient and excess rainfall. Keeping in mind the above aspects, the present paper studies probabilistic rainfall scenario over the Vidarbha region which, despite having tremendous agricultural potential, could not develop to its full potential. The study reveals that dynamic influence (mainly lows and depressions moving over the area) is the main cause of rainfall over Vidarbha. Accumulated Assured Rainfall (AAR) analysis, by fitting incomplete Gamma Distribution Model at different probability levels, indicates that it is maximum in the eastern part of Bhandara and northern part of Gadchiroli districts while it is minimum over western Vidarbha covering northern parts of Buldhana, Akola and adjoining Amravati districts. Weekly assured rainfall analysis reveals that in seventy per cent of the years, the eastern most districts of the region get at least 25 mm of rainfall per week continuously for 13 weeks during mid – June to first half of September. Based on AAR analysis at 70% probability level the entire study region has been divided into five homogeneous rainfall zones (namely A, B, C, D and E). The region to the west of 79°E (A, B, and C zones) receives lower rainfall compared to that to the east of 79°E (D and E zones). This could be attributed to the fact that Vidarbha mainly gets rainfall from lows/depressions formed over Bay of Bengal and move in a westerly/ northwesterly direction and sheds much of its rainwater over the eastern D and E zones, while A, B and C zones get rainfall when these systems pass their heyday. In each of these zones the amount of peak rainfall and when the peak is received has also been found out. This type of rainfall information at different probability levels could serve as basic input of planning for agriculture, land use, drainage requirements and water resources development. Coupled with soil information these will help deciding crop types that could be raised to increase and stabilize production.
Melting Away of Himalayan Glaciers and Resulting Water Shortages in India and Pakistan
Authors: Sharan Anand M. 
Published: November 2024

This paper deals with an important phenomenon taking place these days – melting of polar ice caps and glaciers on various mountains around the globe. This phenomenon has already affected the population in India and Pakistan due to the drying up of rivers. This is an indication for those living in South East Asia, and Far East that without the rivers to irrigate fields, there would be major food crisis. In addition, it would result in mass migration of people due to the shortage of water. This paper, at first, provides evidences of drying up processes of rivers Indus in Pakistan and Ganga in India – to show that the adverse effect of the global warming is already there in India and Pakistan, and this fact was completely missed out at the Copenhagen Conference in December 2009. Next, the paper shows that, without the glaciers on the Himalayas, vast areas in India and Pakistan would turn into deserts because in these areas the climate would change drastically due to lack of vegetation and influx of solar energy.
Assessment of Water Pollution in an Industrial Area by Using	Multi-Variant Analysis – A Case Study from Bollaram Area, Hyderabad,	India
Authors: Ishrath  
Published: November 2024

A number of chemical and pharmaceutical industries have been established since past three decades. Effluents from these industries are being directly discharged into surrounding land, irrigation fields and surface water bodies thereby contaminating the groundwater table. Application of different multivariate statistical approaches is used to interpret the relationship between the specific process that control the quality of water in surface and ground water in Bollaram industrial town near Hyderabad (India). Thirteen parameters have been monitored on thirty eight sampling points from a survey conducted in surface and ground water. This data was analysed using statistical analysis (CA). Sr, Ba, Co, Ni and Cr were associated and controlled by mixed origin with similar contribution from anthropogenic and geogenic sources whereas Fe, Mn, As, Pb, Zn, B and Co were derived from anthropogenic activities. Statistical analysis showed good results rendering the three different groups for surface water and two groups for ground water of similarity between the sampling sites reflecting the different water quality parameters of the study area. This correlation identified with the processes of salinity, alkalinity and pollution which are considered as lithologically and non-lithologically controlled factors.
Operation of Brick Kilns in Bangladesh – A Comparative	Study
Authors: Tehzeeb A.H. , Bhuiyan Muhammed A. 
Published: November 2024

This paper presents an investigation on current use of brick kiln technologies in Bangladesh. There are around five thousand established and numerous make-shift brickfields of various capacities all over the country. Most of the kilns in Bangladesh are fixed chimney (FCK) type, which are somewhat old technology and sources of pounding pollutions. Recently the Department of Environment (DoE) of the Bangladesh Government has directed brickfield owners to switch to comparatively better environment friendly technologies like Zigzag, Hybrid Hoffman (HHK) and Vertical Shaft (VSK) kilns. Most of brickfield owners are not familiar with these kilns and thus reluctant to make over due to lack of industrial knowledge and financial support. However few companies have implemented these technologies on pilot-scale and are yet to demonstrate their full financial viability. As such, broad range technical information along with financial analysis of these technologies is presented here. A set of recommendations are prepared in relation to these technologies suited to their investment opportunity, land accessibility, energy and raw-material supply, labour availability and other requirements. Amongst the three technologies, HHK is the most suitable one for large-scale production whereas FCK if modified and converted into Zigzag kiln will be relatively fuel efficient and less polluting. On the other hand VSK, which are comparatively smaller in capacity, can be made popular in rural Bangladesh. The payback periods of these three kilns are 3.14, 3.27 and 2.62 years respectively, whereas CO $_2$ emission potentials are 22.20, 15.86 and 28.54 tCO $_2$ e, respectively compared to 38.06 tCO $_2$ e for FCK.
Rapid Eccentric Spin-Aligned Binary Black Hole Waveform Generation Based on Deep Learning
Authors: Ren Zhixiang , Cao Zhoujian 
Published: November 2024

Accurate waveform templates of binary black holes (BBHs) with eccentric orbits are essential for the detection and precise parameter estimation of gravitational waves (GWs). While SEOBNRE produces accurate time-domain waveforms for eccentric BBH systems, its generation speed remains a critical bottleneck in analyzing such systems. Accelerating template generation is crucial to data analysis improvement and valuable information extraction from observational data. We present SEOBNRE_AIq5e2, an innovative AI-based surrogate model that crafted to accelerate waveform generation for eccentric, spin-aligned BBH systems. SEOBNRE_AIq5e2 incorporates an advanced adaptive resampling technique during training, enabling the generation of eccentric BBH waveforms with mass ratios up to 5, eccentricities below 0.2, and spins \(|\chi_{z}|\) up to 0.6. It achieves an impressive generation speed of 4.3 ms per waveform with a mean mismatch of \(1.02 \times 10^{- 3}\). With the exceptional accuracy and rapid performance, SEOBNRE_AIq5e2 emerges as a promising waveform template for future analysis of eccentric gravitational wave data.
Inflammatory Mediators in Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder (Russian Translation)
Authors: Sara Poletti , Mario Gennaro Mazza , Francesco Benedetti 
Published: November 2024

Major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD) are highly disabling illnesses defined by different psychopathological, neuroimaging, and cognitive profiles. In the last decades, immune dysregulation has received increasing attention as a central factor in the pathophysiology of these disorders. Several aspects of immune dysregulations have been investigated, including, low-grade inflammation cytokines, chemokines, cell populations, gene expression, and markers of both peripheral and central immune activation. Understanding the distinct immune profiles characterizing the two disorders is indeed of crucial importance for differential diagnosis and the implementation of personalized treatment strategies. In this paper, we reviewed the current literature on the dysregulation of the immune response system focusing our attention on studies using inflammatory markers to discriminate between MDD and BD. High heterogeneity characterized the available literature, reflecting the heterogeneity of the disorders. Common alterations in the immune response system include high pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL‑6 and TNF-α. On the contrary, a greater involvement of chemokines and markers associated with innate immunity has been reported in BD together with dynamic changes in T cells with differentiation defects during childhood which normalize in adulthood, whereas classic mediators of immune responses such as IL‑4 and IL‑10 are present in MDD together with signs of immune-­senescence.

<p>Background: Precision medicine, sometimes referred to as personalized medicine, is rapidly changing the possibilities for how people will engage health care in the near future. As technology to support precision medicine exponentially develops, there is an urgent need to proactively improve our understanding of precision medicine and pose important research questions (RQs) related to its inclusion in the education and training of future emergency physicians.</p>
<p>Methods: A seven-step process was employed to develop a research agenda exploring the intersection of precision and emergency medicine education/training. A literature search of articles about precision medicine was conducted first, which informed the creation of future four scenarios in which trainees and practicing physicians regularly discuss and incorporate precision medicine tools into their discussions and work. Based on these futurist narratives, potential education RQs were generated by an expert panel. A total of 59 initial questions were subsequently categorized and refined to a priority list through a nominal group voting method. The top/priority questions were presented at the 2023 SAEM Consensus Conference on Precision Medicine, Austin, Texas, for further input.</p>
<p>Results: Eight high-value education RQs were developed, reflecting a holistic view of the challenges and opportunities for precision medicine education in the knowledge, skills, and attitudes relevant to emergency medicine. These questions contend with topics such as most effective pedagogical methods; intended resulting outcomes and behaviors; the generational differences between practicing emergency physicians, educators, and future trainees; and the desires and expectations of patients.</p>
<p>Conclusions: Emergency medicine and emergency physicians must be prepared to understand precision medicine and incorporate this information into their "toolbox" of thinking, problem solving, and communication with patients and colleagues. This research agenda on how best to educate future emergency physicians in </p>

<p>On August 1, 2021, the world witnessed an act of true collegiality as 2 athletes, Mutaz Essa Barshim and Gianmarco Tamberi, shared the podium for the gold medal in the high jump at the 2020 summer Olympic games. When the 2 longtime friends and rivals reached the limit of their performance at the same height, an official proposed a jump-off to break the tie. Barshim asked if 2 gold medals were an option and the official promptly replied, “It’s possible, yes.” Tamberi immediately agreed to a tie. The act reflects the spirit of Olympism—the “philosophy of life” that celebrates “the joy of effort, the educational value of good example, social responsibility, and respect for fundamental ethical principles.” In keeping with this philosophy, the Olympics can readily accommodate athletes’ desires to share recognition for their achievements. We believe a similar philosophy can apply to academia, in that guidelines for authors can be designed to accommodate requests to honor shared efforts and contributions to scholarship."</p>
Vigilance and validity: the necessity of assessment system surveillance to ensure equity in emergency medicine

Published: November 2024

<p>Dayal and colleagues found persistent differential attainment of emergency medicine (EM) milestones between male and female residents amongst a large cohort of training programs, suggestive of significant bias. Since then, many groups have looked to their own contexts to seek out the presence or absence of these gender gaps. To this end, we would like to applaud Ingratta et al. in this issue of CJEM for contributing to this important work, given the emphasis many institutions are placing on this topic and measures to try and counteract these biases. This team sought to examine whether gender differences existed in the quality of their workplace-based assessments (WBAs). This work is important as part of a process of continuous quality improvement of a program of assessment as issues pertaining to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) require high-quality data as an input. </p>

Authors: Chan Teresa M. , Bodnariuc Nicole , Nandeesha Nandini , Kodis Jennifer , O'Connor Clare , Mondoux Shawn , Pardhan Alim , Chen Ruth 
Published: November 2024

<p>Background: GridlockED (The Game Crafter, LLC) is a serious game that was developed to teach challenges that face nursing and medical professionals in the emergency department (ED). However, few studies have explored nurses' perceptions of the utility, fidelity, acceptability, and applicability of the serious game modality. This study examined how ED nurses view GridlockED as a continuing education platform.</p>
<p>Method: This single-center observational study explored how nurses engage with and respond to Grid-lockED. The convenience sample included participants recruited from a local continuing nursing education day. Participants completed a presurvey, engaged in a full game play session with the GridlockED game for approximately 45 minutes, and immediately completed a post-game play survey.</p>
<p>Results: Of the 48 participants (11 male, 37 female; 44 of 48 were RNs), most (91%) agreed that the workflow reflected in the game was equivalent to the flow in a typical ED. Almost all (96%) found the cases in the game reflective of real ED patients, and most (92%) found the game a useful educational tool to prepare new nurses to transition into the ED environment.</p>
<p>Conclusion: The GridlockED game shows potential as a serious game to support nursing education, particularly for new ED nurse orientation and transition to ED practice. </p>
