ABSTRACT

The Upper Mississippi Information System (UMIS) is a cyberinfrastructure framework designed to support large-scale real-time water-quality data integration, analysis, and visualization for the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB). UMIS is intended to directly address three of the Grand Challenges for Engineering including (1) understanding access to clean drinking water, (2) management of the nitrogen cycle, and (3) engineering the tools of scientific discovery. The UMIS is designed to provide significant immediate and long-term impacts including a central platform for data access, integration, discovery, and adoption of cyberinfrastructure tools and services. The UMIS demonstrates that public data aggregators and central repositories can provide important services to anyone interested in water-quality research or education. In addition, working across multiple scales (e.g., state, region, county, or watershed) allows researchers to understand broad and narrow effects of water-quality strategies. Exploration of data across these scales encourages the development of problem-based research questions that can eventually provide feedback to public policies.

ABSTRACT

Peak discharge is an essential element of hydrological forecasting. Due to rapid outbreaks of flash floods in hilly areas and the lack of measured data, the fast and accurate estimation of peak discharge is crucial for flash flood hazard management. Three machine learning algorithms were applied to estimate peak discharge; this estimation was compared with the results of hydrological–hydraulic models, and the results were verified with measured watershed data. In this paper, 10 hydrological and geomorphological parameters were selected to predict the flood peak discharge in 103 watersheds in Taiyi Mountain North District. The results show that the particle swarm optimization backpropagation (PSO-BP) neural network model outperforms the BP neural network and random forest regression in prediction performance. PSO-BP has a lower mean absolute error (2.51%), root mean square error (3.74%), and mean absolute percentage error (2.74%) than the other models, which indicates that PSO-BP has high prediction accuracy. Importance analysis revealed that rainfall, early impact rainfall, catchment area, and rain intensity are the key input parameters of PSO-BP. The proposed method was confirmed to be a fast and relatively accurate algorithm for estimating the peak discharge of flash floods in ungauged basins.

ABSTRACT

The population in the dry regions relies mainly on groundwater for their water needs in Sri Lanka. The use of ED technology for groundwater treatment has been increasing globally, and Sri Lanka is also considering its introduction to treat groundwater in rural areas because of its higher efficiency and easier operation compared to other membrane technologies. A pilot plant was installed in Kahatagasdigiliya, NCP, Sri Lanka focusing on the selective removal of problematic ions identified in the area. Operational parameters were adjusted to remove identified problematic ions during the TED process, and suitable operational parameters were selected considering treated water quality and the water demand of villagers. TED was operated at a selected condition of 12 m3/h flow rate and 45 V voltage. The final effluent water quality meets the Sri Lanka Standard (SLS) 614:2013 limits, with a higher removal efficiency of 65.63% (hardness) and 55.37% (F-). This TED system with a capacity of 260 m3 day has been operational since 2017 in Sri Lanka, providing better quality water to villagers and ensuring water safety in the area. This pilot TED provides guidance on operating ED for selective removal of problematic ions in drinking water in real-world applications.

Introduction
Insecticidal plants are widely studied materials that have intense applications in various fields of vector, pest, and disease control. They are among the recommended strategies to tackle the already established resistance in mosquitoes causing prevailing diseases in the world, especially in Africa.

Aim and Objective
The study aimed to assess the biological potency of ashes of scent leave (Ocimum gratissimum) and lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) against the larvae of Anopheles and Culex mosquitoes.

Methods
Larvae of mosquitoes were sourced, and plant ashes were prepared and exposed to 20 larvae of both mosquitoes in 1g, 2.5g, 5g, 10g, and 15g concentrations. Treatment concentrations were formulated by mixing ashes in 100ml of water in triplicate. Mortality, acute toxicity, and sub-chronic toxicity data were obtained.

Results
Mosquito larval mortality increased with time at all concentrations of test plants, and sub-chronic toxicity showed complete mortality in all treatments. Acute toxicity of Culex larvae was highest in 15g of lemon grass and complete mortality was recorded after 30 minutes of exposure. There was no acute toxicity recorded with scent leave exposure. The Lethal Dose (LD50) for Anopheles mosquitoes recorded with scent leave ashes was 0.319g (y=1.928x+0.96; R2=0.221, p= 0.407), and for Culex mosquitoes, it was recorded to be 0.424g with lemon grass exposure (y=1.86x+0.69; R2=0.221, p= 0.240). Remarkably, lemon grass at a concentration of 1.250g and 3.247g caused 95% toxicity in Anopheles (y=15.85x-0.25; R2=0.633, p> 0.05) and Culex (y=2.918x-0.18; R2=0.388, p= 0.254) mosquitoes, respectively. LT50 of mosquitoes was between 21.3 minutes and 1451.4 minutes, whereas LT95 was between 37.1 minutes and 1740.4 minutes, respectively. No adult mosquito emergence was recorded.

Conclusion
Ashes of both plants, especially lemon grass, could be considered better materials for local treatment of the mosquito breeding sites.
Relatives’ and Intensive Care Unit Personnel’s Perspectives of Care in Organ Donation: Protocol for a Multiple Methods Study
Authors: Meyer Kathe B , Rohde Gudrun , Frivold Gro 
Published: August 2024

Background
In organ donation from deceased donors, the interaction between the donor’s relatives and intensive care personnel is an important factor. The organ donation (OD) process is complex, and patients’ relatives play a vital role. Intensive care professionals need knowledge about how relatives perceive and experience the process to create a caring environment and support them throughout. Therefore, this collaborative project aims to explore both relatives’ and intensive care personnel’s perspectives of care in deceased organ donation in Scandinavia.

Objective
This study aims to (1) investigate donor relatives’ satisfaction and ICU personnel’s perception of their own professional competence and (2) explore donor relatives’ and ICU personnel’s experiences in the OD process to design for care and support in OD.

Methods
This protocol outlines a Scandinavian (Norway, Sweden, and Denmark) project, including 4 work packages. Work package 1 started in 2023 with the translation and validation of the Family Satisfaction in the Intensive Care Unit questionnaire into a Danish version and the translation of the Professional Competence in Organ Donation Questionnaire into a Swedish and Danish version. A cross-sectional survey measuring Scandinavian relatives’ perception of support in and satisfaction with the organ donation process and a cross-sectional survey measuring Scandinavian intensive care personnel’s competence in organ donation are the foundation for work package 2 (2024). The data from both surveys will be analyzed using descriptive and comparative analysis. The results will inform the interview guides in qualitative studies (work packages 3 and 4). Participants in the quantitative study will be invited to participate in in-depth interviews. In work package 3, in-depth interviews will be conducted to illuminate relatives’ experiences in the organ donation process. The interviews will be analyzed using thematic analysis, according to Braun and Clarke. In work package 4 (2025-2026), 1 qualitative design study will be conducted to illuminate ICU personnel’s experiences. Furthermore, the results from work packages 2 and 3 will inform the development of specific programs for care, support, and communication in the organ donation process.

Results
The project was funded by the Norwegian Organ Donor Foundation in 2022 and Scandiatransplant in 2023. The Norwegian Nurses Organisation supports the project by funding a PhD student. The PhD student was employed by the University in Agder in May 2024.

Conclusions
This project will provide new knowledge that will assist us in designing and establishing programs for care, support, and donor relatives’ involvement in OD processes.

Published: August 2024

OBJECTIVE
To update state-specific estimates of diabetes-attributable costs in the U.S. and assess changes in spending from 2013 to 2021.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We used an attributable fraction approach to estimate direct medical costs of diagnosed diabetes using the 2021 State Health Expenditure Accounts, the 2021 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services 2018–2019 Minimum Data Set. We estimated diabetes-attributable productivity losses from morbidity and mortality using the 2016–2021 National Health Interview Survey and the 2021 mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Costs were adjusted to 2021 U.S. dollars.

RESULTS
Total diabetes-attributable cost in 2021 was $640 billion ($335 billion in direct medical costs and $305 billion in indirect costs). The median state-level total diabetes-attributable cost was $8.2 billion (range $842 million to $81 billion). The median state-level per-person cost was $21,082, ranging from $17,452 to $37,090. Total diabetes-attributable cost increased by a median of 33% between 2013 and 2021, ranging from 16 to 68% across states. Medical costs increased by 50% overall (range 33–79%) and by 27% (range 15–41%) for per person with diabetes. Costs paid by Medicaid experienced the highest increase between 2013 and 2021 (median 153%; range 41–483%).

CONCLUSIONS
State economic costs of diagnosed diabetes are substantial and increased over the last decade. These costs and their growth vary considerably across states. These findings may help state policy makers in developing evidenced-based public health interventions in their respective states to prevent and control the prevalence of diabetes.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To determine if sedation with medetomidine-vatinoxan (Zenalpha; Dechra Veterinary Products) and midazolam (Alvogen) (ZM) would cause less cardiovascular depression and maintain similar depth and duration of sedation in pigeons (Columba livia domestica) compared to dexmedetomidine and midazolam (DM).

METHODS
In a blinded crossover study, 15 healthy adult domestic pigeons were sedated IM with either dexmedetomidine (0.08 mg/kg) and midazolam (2 mg/kg) or medetomidine (0.16 mg/kg), vatinoxan (3.2 mg/kg), and midazolam (2 mg/kg) from November through December 2023. Each subject was monitored for 60 minutes, then the sedation was reversed with atipamezole (0.8 mg/kg) and flumazenil (0.1 mg/kg) as needed. Sedation scores, heart rates, and respiratory rates were compared.

RESULTS
There was no significant difference in the peak sedation score between DM and ZM groups, with both exhibiting median scores of 4 (heavy sedation). Mean heart rate was significantly higher for ZM than DM at 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, and 65 minutes postinjection. Bradycardia occurred in both groups at 5 and 10 minutes postinjection and persisted for DM until reversal with atipamezole. Arrhythmias were auscultated in both groups. Bradypnea was not observed in either group, and all birds resumed normal behavior following recovery and the following day.

CONCLUSIONS
Medetomidine-vatinoxan-midazolam provides a similar depth of sedation to DM but with less incidence of bradycardia. Further study is needed to determine the clinical applicability of this sedative in birds.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Medetomidine-vatinoxan may be considered for short-term sedation and restraint in cardiovascularly stable pigeons.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Our understanding of the use of acid-suppressant drugs (ASDs) in companion animals is largely centered around the treatment of acid-related disorders including gastroesophageal reflux and gastrointestinal ulceration. The companion article by Grady et al, JAVMA, October 2024, summarizes our current knowledge of the efficacy of and indications for ASDs for the treatment of acid-related disorders. Far less is understood about both the benefits of and potential for adverse effects of ASDs outside of the parietal cell including those directed toward inflammation and immunomodulation, tumorigenesis, fibrosis, and oxidative stress. In this Currents in One Health article, we summarize the pH-independent properties of ASDs as demonstrated in studies conducted largely in humans and rodents. The objective of this review is to highlight and increase awareness of the pH-independent effects of ASDs to elucidate the need for further veterinary research in this area.

Abstract
Social network data mining (SNDM) technology shows great application potential in crime analysis and prevention. This study focuses on revealing the characteristics, laws, and trends of criminal behavior through an in-depth analysis of criminal information in social networks. Using data mining techniques such as association rule mining, cluster analysis, and community discovery, the key information and organizational structure of criminal networks are successfully mined, which provides a powerful means of investigation and prevention for public security departments. It is found that important criminal clues are hidden in the user communication data in social networks, and the communication mode and hidden information between criminals can be revealed through association rule mining technology. Cluster analysis helps to identify gangs and hot spots with similar criminal behaviors, which provides important clues for further investigation. In addition, community discovery technology further reveals the internal structure and membership relationship of criminal gangs, which is helpful in deeply understanding the operation mode of criminal organizations and the spread path of criminal acts. Based on historical data and mining results, this study also constructs a crime trend prediction model, which provides timely early warning information for public security departments and helps to take measures to prevent and crack down on criminal acts in advance. On the whole, this study not only enriches the application theory of SNDM technology in the field of crime analysis but also provides new ideas and tools for actual crime investigation and prevention.
