Published: September 2024

Rutting is the most common distress occurring on asphalt pavement due to traffic increases. Rubberized asphalt was then introduced as potential materials for rutting resistance. However, rubberized asphalt needs a high temperature for mixing and compaction that may not uphold the principle of sustainability. This study focused on modifying the asphalt binder by adding 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% of the total asphalt binder with 3-(Triethoxysilyl)propylamine as additive into rubberised asphalt binder to improve rutting resistance. The asphalt binder was tested for penetration, softening point, rotational viscosity and dynamic shear rheometer to ensure conformity to the standard specifications. The results found that incorporating this additive into rubberized asphalt binder improved its physical and rheological properties. By adding 1.5% amine into 5% NR asphalt binder, the viscosity was increased by 56.1%, the highest compared to others while, the binder that containing 0.5% amine shows the lower viscosity and achieve the specification of less than 3000 mPa-s and the G*/sinδ is greater than 1.0 kP at 76°C. In conclusion, asphalt binder containing 0.5% amine could be able to produce asphalt mixture with low mixing and compaction temperature and better rutting resistance.

Abstract

δ Scuti variables are found at the intersection of the classical instability strip and the main sequence on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram. With space-based photometry providing millions of light curves of A-F type stars, we can now probe the occurrence rate of δ Scuti pulsations in detail. Using the 30 minutes cadence light curves from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite's first 26 sectors, we identify variability in 103,810 stars within 5–24 cycles per day down to a magnitude of T = 11.25. We fit the period–luminosity relation of the fundamental radial mode for δ Scuti stars in the Gaia G band, allowing us to distinguish classical pulsators from contaminants for a subset of 39,367 stars. Out of this subset, over 15,918 are found on or above the expected period–luminosity relation. We derive an empirical red edge to the classical instability strip using Gaia photometry. The center where the pulsator fraction peaks at 50%–70%, combined with the red edge, agrees well with previous work in the Kepler field. While many variable sources are found below the period–luminosity relation, over 85% of sources inside of the classical instability strip derived in this work are consistent with being δ Scuti stars. The remaining 15% of variables within the instability strip are likely hybrid or γ Doradus pulsators. Finally, we discover strong evidence for a correlation between pulsator fraction and spectral line broadening from the Radial Velocity Spectrometer on board the Gaia spacecraft, confirming that rotation has a role in driving pulsations in δ Scuti stars.
Abundances of Planetary Nebulae and Evolved Stars: Iron and Sulfur Depletion, and Carbon and Nitrogen Enrichment, in Low- and Intermediate-mass Stellar Populations in the Milky Way

Published: September 2024

Abstract
We research the elemental abundances in Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) compared with those of their stellar progenitors (red giant branch and asymptotic giant branch, AGB, stars), to explore and quantify the expected—i.e., due to AGB evolution or condensation onto grains—differences. We gleaned the current literature for the nebular abundances while we used the APOGEE DR 17 survey data for the stellar sample. We examined the elements in common between the nebular and stellar samples, namely, C, N, O, Fe, and S. We confirm that iron in PNe is mostly entrapped in grains, with an average depletion 〈D[Fe/H]〉 = 1.741 ± 0.486 dex, and we disclose a weak correlation between iron depletion and the [O/H] abundance, D[Fe/H] = (6.6003 ± 2.443) × [O/H] + (1.972 ± 0.199). Sulfur may also be mildly depleted in PNe, with 〈D[S/H]〉 = 0.179 ± 0.291 dex. We also found an indication of nitrogen enrichment for PNe 〈E[N/H]〉 = 0.393 ± 0.421 dex, with maximum enrichment (0.980 ± 0.243) occurring for the PNe whose progenitors have gone through the hot-bottom burning. The carbon enrichment is 〈E[C/H]〉 = 0.337 ± 0.463 dex when measured for the general PN populations. Our results will be relevant for future Galactic and extragalactic studies comparing nebular and stellar samples.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Models of the resolved Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) sources Sgr A* and M87* are constrained by observations at multiple wavelengths, resolutions, polarizations, and time cadences. In this paper, we compare unresolved circular polarization (CP) measurements to a library of models, where each model is characterized by a distribution of CP over time. In the library, we vary the spin of the black hole, the magnetic field strength at the horizon (i.e., both SANE and magnetically arrested disk or MAD models), the observer inclination, a parameter for the maximum ion–electron temperature ratio assuming a thermal plasma, and the direction of the magnetic field dipole moment. We find that Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of Sgr A* are inconsistent with all edge-on (i = 90°) models. Restricting attention to the MAD models favored by earlier EHT studies of Sgr A*, we find that only models with magnetic dipole moment pointing away from the observer are consistent with ALMA data. We also note that in 26 of the 27 passing MAD models, the accretion flow rotates clockwise on the sky. We provide a table of the means and standard deviations of the CP distributions for all model parameters, along with their trends.
Selective reading of 1 Corinthians 14:26–40 resulting in the marginalisation of women
Authors: Resane Kelebogile T. 
Published: September 2024

The aim of this paper is to point out a hermeneutic gap in Assemblies of God – Back to God’s order of service where 1 Corinthians 14:26–32 is read, eschewing verses 33–38. It points out the Assemblies of God’s perception of women’s ordination into the ministry, where women are allowed to participate in public worship but are not allowed to take up the pastoral leadership of the local assembly. The research problem is the hermeneutic gap behind refusal to ordain women into the ministry. The selective reading of the Scriptures poses a problem for hermeneutical inclusiveness that embraces social exegesis to arrive at the conclusion that it is not unscriptural to ordain women into pastoral leadership. The conclusion gives the remedial actions of the scenario, to suggest breaking out of a shell, agency and resilience, engaging social exegesis and hermeneutics, and engaging the community through dialogue to justify the rationale for ordaining women into the pastoral ministry in the same par with men.Contribution: Situated within feminist theology, the study on women pastoral leadership is a burning issue for both classical Pentecostals and some of their evangelical counterparts. Pentecostal and charismatic studies should expand their understanding of Pauline theology regarding women’s leadership to arrive at inclusiveness and non-sexism.
Abstract No.: ABS0617: Anaesthesia management of high risk cardiac patients for lower limb vascular surgeries
Authors: Kanzariya Tejas 
Published: September 2024

Background and Aims:
Managing Cardiac patients for noncardiac surgery is a daunting task. Haemodynamic disturbances during neuraxial blocks or general anesthesia may worsen the cardiac pathology. Peripheral nerve blocks can prove to be a better alternative in lower limb vascular surgeries.

Methods:
We included 25 high risk cardiac patients posted for lower limb vascular surgeries. Both lumbar plexus and sacral plexus blocks were performed. Haemodynamic monitoring and perioperative new cardiac events were recorded. Any additional supplementation of drugs was also noted.

Results:
Out of 25 patients, 75 patients were male and rest 25 were females. Two patients required additional supplementation with total intravenous anaesthesia. No haemodynamic instability was recorded (table 1). One patient died due to ventricular tachycardia 4 hours after surgery.

Conclusion:
Combined lumbar and sacral plexus blocks resulted as an alternative to neuroaxial blocks or general anaestheisa in patients of high cardiac risk patients undergoing lower limb vascular surgeries.

Abstract No.: ABS2511: Ultrasound assessment of airway parameters and their clinical correlation to predict difficult airway and laryngoscopy.
Authors: Kataria Anshika 
Published: September 2024

Background&Aims:
Increased tongue thickness, pre-epiglottic depth and anterior-neck soft tissue thickness are likely to be associated with difficultairways. This study was aimed to find out various ultrasound airway assessment measurements and their efficacy and correlation with difficult airway and laryngoscopy.

Methods:
A prospective hospital based observational study was conducted at KLEA’s Dr.Prabhakar Kore Hospital and MRC, KAHER, Belagavi, after attaining institutional ethical committee clearance, in 60 adult American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)I/II patients undergoing tracheal intubationunder general anaesthesia. Patients with head andneck or cervical spine pathology were excluded. Ultrasonographic assessmentof tongue thickness, ratio of Pre-E/E-VC and anterior neck soft tissue thickness at level of vocal cords weredone with patients in supine position, before induction of anaesthesia. These were compared with Cormack-Lehane grading assessed during laryngoscopy and intubation. These assessments were conducted to investigate the potential predictive value of their combination for difficult laryngoscopy.

Results:
Using Pearson’s correlation, tongue thickness was found to be highly significant in correlation with the Cormack-Lehanegrading along with ratio of Pre-E/E-VC thus to predict difficult laryngoscopy with a significant p value of <0.0001. Thesensitivity of Pre-E/E-VC ratio was found to be 91.67% with a diagnosing accuracy of around 82%.

Conclusion:
The ultrasound parameters have greater sensitivity and specificity than conventional airway tests. The maximum vertical tongue thickness and ratio of pre-epiglottic space to distance from epiglottis to midpoint-of-vocalcords have better prediction for difficult laryngoscopy.
Abstract No. : ABS2524 : Preventive strategies in chronic persistent postsurgical pain following breast cancer Surgery- A systematic review and meta-analysis,
Authors: Khushboo  
Published: September 2024

Background and Aims:
Chronic persistent postsurgical pain(CPCP) following breast cancer surgery is associated with decreased health-related quality of life and additional psychological distress.This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of various preventive strategies used for reducing the chronic persistent post-surgical pain following breast cancer surgery.

Methods:
An extensive search was conducted on online databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Embase. All the relevant randomised controlled trials(RCT) that are published up to June 2021 were included in this review. Patients with breast cancer who have undergone lumpectomy with or without axillary lymph node dissection and modified radical mastectomy were included in the study. The primary outcome measure was pain intensity. Incidence of chronic pain at 3 months using a verbal rating scale (VRS), visual analog scale (VAS), and numerical rating scales (NRS) were compared with control groups. The association between the primary outcome and preventive strategies was assessed using relative risk.

Results:
Incidence of CPSP at 3-month was assessed by 21 RCTs. This meta-analysis included 1610 patients (804 in intervention groups and 806 controls). Intervention reduced the incidence of CPSP at 3-month by 37% as compared to the control group and this reduction was statistically significant [Relative risk: 0.64: 0.54-0.75; p<0.001; I2=24.2%]. There was no publication bias and low heterogeneity among the studies (figure 1).

Conclusion:
In patients undergoing breast cancer surgery, intervention in the form of block or drug reduces the incidences of CPSP at three months post-surgery
Abstract No. : ABS3055 : Comparative evaluation of radiofrequency ablation of genicular nerve and genicular nerve block in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee
Authors: Lather Aditi 
Published: September 2024

Background and Aims:
Osteoarthritis of the knee is the most common form of chronic arthritis. There is a mixture of degradative and reparative processes in the articular cartilage and subchondral bone, associated with osteophyte formation and low grade inflammation.

Methods:
Patients were divided in two groups of 30 each. In group-I (n=30), patients received fluoroscope guided radiofrequency(RF) ablation of genicular nerve using RF electrode to a temperature of 60°C for 120 seconds. In Group-II (n=30), patients received fluoroscope guided genicular nerve block using 9ml drug solution comprising of 8ml of 0.5% bupivacaine plus 1ml of methylprednisolone (40mg). Pain was assessed using numerical rating scale (NRS).

Results:
NRS scores were clinically less in group I as compared to group II. There was clinically better patient satisfaction in group I as compared to group II. When Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) Index was compared in between the two groups, it was statistically comparable at all time intervals throughout the study period (p>0.05

Conclusion:
Fluoroscope guided radiofrequency ablation of genicular nerve and genicular nerve block with local anaesthetic and steroid are safe and effective techniques for management of symptomatic osteoarthritis of knee. However, fluoroscope guided radiofrequency ablation of genicular nerve is better than fluoroscope guided genicular nerve block in terms of improvement in pain score, physical status and patient satisfaction.

Assessing Stress and Burnout in Dental Students in a Dental Institution
Authors: Avasthi Avijit , Aasdhir Sakshi Sharma 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background:
Dental students feel stress in their professional education such as fear of examinations, burden of workload, stress in completion of academic course, and adjustment in college atmosphere. The objective of the study was to assess stress among dental students and its association with academic year of training and gender differences in perceived stress.

Materials and Methods:
A 31-item self-constructed Modified Garbee's Dental Environmental Stress Survey (1980) Questionnaire was distributed among students to obtain their stress response on a 4-point Likert scale with responses ranked: 1 – not stressful, 2 – slightly stressful, 3 – moderately stressful, and 4 – very stressful. Statistical analysis was done using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21.0, Armonk, NY, USA: IBM Corp.

Results:
Responses were obtained from 232 students; 74.2% were female and 24.6% were male. Top stressors were fear of failure, insecurity of future, stress of examinations, fear of excessive workload, assigned work burden, unavailability of clinical cases, the lack of time to complete work, less time for recreation, coping with competition among classmates, lack of confidence in career decision, receiving criticism of work from teachers, and the lack of confidence to be successful student. Less stressful responses were difficulty in learning preclinical procedures, learning environment created by faculty, the attitude toward faculty, relationship with colleagues, financial stress, impact on personal health, discrimination due to race, class, etc., The mean stress scores were more in preclinical years (BDS 1st and 2nd years) when compared to clinical years (BDS 3rd and 4th years). Stress perceived by female students outweighed male students.

Conclusion:
Therefore stress reduction strategies need to be incorporated in dental curriculum.
Pubic hair removal methods and associated factors on female sexuality in Fayoum Governorate, Egypt
Authors: El-Tahlawi Samar M. , Abdel Wahed Wafaa Y. , Ahmed Shaimaa A. , Yaseen Sara M. 
Published: September 2024

Background
Pubic hair removal (PHR) is a popular practice among women. They remove pubic hair by different methods, usually for visual, esthetic, or psycho-sexual aspects, as being more attractive and feminine to affect their sexual life.

Objectives
To assess the impact of different methods of PHR on sexual function among sexually active females in Fayoum Governorate, Egypt. And to understand factors affecting the choice of methods used in this grooming practice.

Patients and methods
This cross-sectional study included 500 sexually active women who completed the study structured questionnaire, which included demographics, reproductive and medical history data, assessment of sexual function in the past 4 weeks using Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), PHR items, and the Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale-9 in the last 2 weeks.

Results
Almost all the participants (99.2%) preferred to remove pubic hair, and the most frequently mentioned method is shaving and creams (43.8%). The prevalence of female sexual dysfunction was 50.5% of our participants. There was a significant difference in the mean FSFI scores between different methods of PHR; with laser, users, had higher FSFI scores of arousal, lubrication, and satisfaction domains (P<0.05). Wax or sweet users and laser users were more satisfied with their body image than shaving users.

Conclusions
Female sexual dysfunction is a widespread problem; it may result in depression and may be affected by the type of method used for PHR. Laser users had better sexual functions than users of other methods.
Testicular Torsion with Synchronous Adrenal Rest Tumors in a Patient with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Authors: Tuna Mustafa Bilal , Doganca Tunkut , Mourmouris Panagiotis , Kurtulmus Neslihan , Argun Omer Burak , Kural Ali Riza 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This is the case report of a 20-year-old male patient who was admitted to our clinic with a sudden onset of severe left testicular pain. Color Doppler ultrasonography revealed normal vascular supply of both testes nevertheless, but when compared with the right testis, the axis of the left testicular cord was located more posteriorly and along with swelling of the epididymis made the diagnosis of partial torsion highly probable. Bilaterally hypervascularized testicular and epididymal solid masses (up to 20 mm) were also present. Reposition of the left testicle followed by warm sponge compress was performed. The patient was suffering from congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and he was in steroid replacement therapy all his life. Testicular adrenal rest tumor is an important complication of classical CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency that can potentially lead to gonadal dysfunction and infertility in adulthood. If the presence of enlarged testicular rest tumor deteriorates the stability of the testicular cord stability and renders the testis more vulnerable to torsion is a hypothesis that is hard to prove since these tumors are rare and torsion in these patients is even rarer. Nevertheless, the physicians must be aware of this condition and its benign course in order to correctly differentiate it from other diseases and avoid more radical procedures.

Authors: Dhiman Yashaswi , Khatiwada Basanta , Raturi Manish , Gaur Dushyant Singh , Nautiyal Rolika , Rawat Himanshu 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
H-deficient phenotypes, commonly known as Bombay blood type, have more inclination to be found in the Indian subcontinent, and conventional gold standard tube techniques are still the recommended method to identify them, provided a strict adherence to testing protocol. There is more to these phenotypes than just the bombay blood type. This brief communication highlights the identification of three H-deficient phenotypes from a single center that adhered to standard operating procedures and basic testing methodologies. It emphasizes the requirement of indirect Coombs test with pooled “O” cells with blood grouping of every sample irrespective of the testing platform and also the H antigen typing on encountering any suspicion. These H-deficient individuals may not be as rare as we assume them to be provided there are reframed testing policies. Although international collaborations and databases like the International Society of Blood Transfusion database have made it easier to record and share knowledge on blood types, a National network and registries of these rare phenotypes are essential to make them available to the general population who actually benefit from them.
