Decadal hydrological impact assessment of evolving land use and land cover in an Indian river basin: a multi-model approach
Authors: Dixit Shubham , Pandey Kamlesh K. , Shukla Divyansh 
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT

All river basins have ever-evolving land use and land cover (LULC) attributes. The impact of these changes may not be significant on short time scales (i.e., monthly, seasonal, yearly), but over a decadal scale, they can substantially alter the hydrological processes of the basin. This study comprehensively quantifies the impacts of LULC changes over Cauvery basin in India using LULC maps from four decades spanning from 1980 to 2020. Simulations were performed using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) with various datasets. To isolate the effects of LULC changes, two sets of SWAT models were developed: A-set models for calibration and validation to establish basin parameters and B-set models to examine LULC change impacts while isolating other factors such as terrain and climate changes. Key findings include a significant increase in urban areas (0.87% in 1985 to 5.54% in 2015), a decline in vegetation cover (25.34% in 1985 to 21.32% in 2015), and an increase in the Curve Number and average annual surface runoff, highlighting the impact of LULC changes on hydrological processes. The A-set models achieved R-squared values of 0.831, 0.728, 0.715, and 0.757, while the B-set models showcased significant changes in hydrological parameters due to LULC changes.

ABSTRACT
Household water treatment (HWT) is recommended when safe drinking water is limited. To understand determinants of HWT adoption, we conducted a cross-sectional survey with 650 households across different regions in Haiti. Data were collected on 71 demographic and psychosocial factors and 2 outcomes (self-reported and confirmed HWT use). Data were transformed into 169 possible determinants of adoption across nine categories. We assessed determinants using logistic regression and, as machine learning methods are increasingly used, random forest analyses. Overall, 376 (58%) respondents self-reported treating or purchasing water, and 123 (19%) respondents had residual chlorine in stored household water. Both logistic regression and machine learning analyses had high accuracy (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC): 0.77–0.82), and the strongest determinants in models were in the demographics and socioeconomics, risk belief, and WASH practice categories. Determinants that can be influenced inform HWT promotion in Haiti. It is recommended to increase access to HWT products, provide cash and education on water treatment to emergency-impacted populations, and focus future surveys on known determinants of adoption. We found both regression and machine learning methods need informed, thoughtful, and trained analysts to ensure meaningful results and discuss the benefits/drawbacks of analysis methods herein.

ABSTRACT

The study aimed to explore the effectiveness of Abies marocana needles as a cost-efficient adsorbent for water purification, focusing on the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) dye. Chemical treatment with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) was applied to the needles, followed by a thorough analysis of surface characteristics and functional groups using various techniques. Experimental parameters such as adsorbent quantity, pH, contact duration, initial dye concentration, and temperature were investigated to determine their influence on adsorption capacity, revealing that under optimal conditions, the biosorbent AMNS displayed significant MB dye removal efficiency of 96.527 ± 0.017%. The study found that the pseudo-second-order model better explained the adsorption of MB dye on AMNS compared with the pseudo-first-order model, while the Freundlich mathematical model effectively described the adsorption isotherms. Thermodynamic analyses indicated that the adsorption process is both exothermic and spontaneous, with various interactions such as electrostatic attractions, H-bonding, π–π interactions, and pore-filling contributing to the adsorption mechanism. Furthermore, the investigation highlighted the reusability of AMNS when desorbing with 1 M sulfuric acid, emphasizing the significant role of A. marocana needles in environmental protection, especially in treating industrial effluents.
Género, matemáticas culturales, y arte textil de los Mazahua y Hñähñu
Authors: Gilsdorf Thomas 
Published: August 2024

Este trabajo se centra en el arte textil tradicional y sus conexiones con las matemáticas culturales y los conceptos de género, en las culturas Otopame de los Mazahua y Hñähñu (Otomí). Usando las seis categorías de actividades matemáticas de Bishop, primero confirmamos que hay aspectos matemáticos del arte textil tradicional. Luego, se analiza cómo se puede interpretar el arte textil tradicional en el contexto de la identidad de género femenino en las culturas Hñähñu y Mazahua. Resulta que la expresión de la identidad femenina en estas dos culturas se conecta principalmente con la identidad cultural y las economías familiares. En particular, los roles de género Hñähñu asociados con el arte textil tradicional no están asociados tan exclusivamente con las mujeres como es el caso de los mazahuas y unas culturas regionales como los aztecas y los mayas. La última parte contiene observaciones de códices en los que podemos verificar que los Españoles locales asumieron un papel social distinto de las mujeres que ocurrieron después de la conquista. En esta asunción distinta del rol de género, las habilidades en el arte textil tradicional, y por lo tanto en las habilidades matemáticas, eran de menor valor que el caso anterior a la conquista. El valor reducido de estas habilidades coincide con los roles europeos de género de la época de la conquista, en la que las habilidades de las mujeres en matemáticas eran explícitamente suprimidas.

Authors: Navas Boada Paulo , Chamorro Kevin , Ballaz Santiago 
Published: August 2024

Background/Aim This study analyzed clinical factors impacting the survival of COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress síndrome, or ARDS (CARDS) to ICU compared to non-COVID-19 ARDS patients. Methods Clinical variables from 1,008 CARDS cases and 332 ARDS cases were computed using learning algorithms. The multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models with the enter method evaluated risk factors and ICU mortality relationships. The survival analysis was completed with Kaplan-Meier and the log-rank tests. Results A Random Forest model revealed that mechanical ventilation-related factors, oxygenation, blood pH, superinfection, shock, and ICU length of stay have the greatest effects on ICU survival. According to a multivariate Cox model, reintubation and a high-flow nasal cannula were essential for survival in CARDS patients during the ICU stay. The length of stay in the ICU diminishes in patients older than 45 years, regardless of the source of ARDS. Conclusion This study gives recommendations for the respiratory care of ARDS in COVID-19 patients.

Published: August 2024

Dental issues are extremely common in dogs and cats, underscoring the importance of veterinary professionals’ knowledge in dentistry. Nevertheless, dental problems are currently often underdiagnosed and, consequently, undertreated.This study investigated the attitudes, experiences, and self-confidence of veterinary (V) and veterinary nursing (VN) students in their final two years of study in small animal dentistry. An online questionnaire was distributed, and responses were received from 61% of V students ( n = 94) and 41% of VN students ( n = 72).The majority of both V students (61%) and VN students (69%) expressed a desire for more education in small animal dentistry. Furthermore, a minority of V students (20%) and VN students (22%) felt adequately prepared for their first day in practice after graduation. Less than half of the students (V 44% and VN 38%) had participated in a practical dental procedure outside training sessions.Self-confidence in small animal dentistry procedures was rated on a 0–10 scale. V students exhibited the highest confidence in teeth polishing (6.1) and removing tartar with ultrasonic scalers (6.0), while VN students were most confident in recognizing common oral/dental problems (6.0) and discussing dental issues with pet owners (5.3). Extra practical training significantly increased confidence in several dental procedures ( p < .005).Despite positive attitudes, a notable proportion of V and VN students feel unprepared for their first day in practice, potentially stemming from insufficient training. Addressing these gaps through clear guidelines for Day One Competence and enhanced practical training is crucial, ultimately benefiting the well-being of small animals.

3D Printed Concrete: Fresh and Hardened Properties
Authors: Thajeel Marwah M. , Balázs György L. 
Published: August 2024

3D concrete printing (3D CP) is an advanced form of additive manufacturing (AM), that allows for the creation of complex geometrical structures using concrete. This technology has the potential to reduce construction time and labour costs while minimizing material waste. However, there are also challenges related to material properties, structural integrity, and standardization of construction practices. The primary challenge in developing 3D printable cementitious materials lies in engineering specific fresh properties that enable extrusion-based printing. Unlike cast concrete, where formwork provides dimensional stability during the printing process, the absence of formwork in 3D printing necessitates fresh mixtures with low-slump and high-thixotropy to be suitable for concrete 3D printing. Additionally, the orthotropic nature of the resulting 3D printed object due to the extrusion process impacts its mechanical properties. Therefore, this research aims to study the effect of water content and loading directions on 3D printed concrete. A pre-mix material from Sika was used in this study. Three mixes were prepared by using three different water to dry material (w/d) ratios, 0.140 l/kg, 0.145 l/kg and 0.150 l/kg. The experiments focused on analysing flowability, green strength, mechanical properties (compressive strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity), water absorption, porosity, and chemical transformations at high temperatures through thermoanalytical measurement. The results showed that the mixture containing 0.145 l/kg (w/d) exhibited satisfactory 3D printability, optimal mechanical performance, lower porosities compared with mixtures 0.140 and 0.150, and same total porosity compared with cast specimen.

Published: August 2024

Background: Childhood hearing loss is a global health concern. Despite the proven benefits of neonatal hearing screening (NHS), it is not yet mandated in South Africa. The lack of awareness of hearing loss and absence of NHS leads to delayed diagnosis and adverse developmental outcomes for affected children.Aim: The study aimed to assess the availability of NHS services across primary healthcare (PHC) facilities in the City of Cape Town (CCT).Setting: Surveys were conducted with 26 PHC facilities in the CCT metropolitan areas that offer mother and child healthcare services.Methods: Surveys gathered data through online and telephone methods. The surveys aimed to assess the availability and nature of NHS services, care pathways and training of healthcare professionals regarding NHS.Results: None of the facilities used objective screening methods to screen hearing or have standardised care pathways for at-risk babies. Instead, they relied on parental concerns, with the use of the Road to Health book. None of the respondents reported having received hearing screening training, and the majority of participants (62%) lacked confidence in their knowledge of ear and hearing care.Conclusion: The absence of NHS services highlights the need for standardised protocols and increased awareness among healthcare workers and caregivers. Implementing NHS services could facilitate earlier diagnosis and intervention of hearing loss for infants in the Western Cape.Contribution: This study’s findings could guide efforts to improving access to NHS access at PHC level in Cape Town, ultimately providing early hearing screening services to infants.
